Home And Away: Lugala at Large.
"Hand Shake, Plastic Smiles, Music and Dance, Home Away From Home...If they get lost in the suburbs of their former days of grinding poverty they can easily find their way to the five-star hotel."
09 July 2018
By Victor Lugala
The Big Man combed his beard, then carefully adjusted his sunglasses in front of a wall mirror. He swung his favourite cowboy hat on his head, quickly glanced at his Rolex wrist watch, and grabbed a wooden walking stick to complete an elder's look.
When a veteran soldier is not carrying a gun, he must carry a stick, just in case he steps on a snake by mistake.
With his feet warming in well-polished Italian leather shoes, he gracefully walked out and entered his sleek limousine, ready to fly to the east where things were cooking.
On the plane the Big Man declined to eat. He was fasting in preparation for the task ahead. After shutting his eyes in meditation for a while he opened them, looking bored. He reached for the breast pocket of his suit and whipped out an expensive Parker pen. He also fished out a small notebook from his trouser pocket and started scribbling his signature. "Hiii! How come my signature looks different today?" The Big Man wondered. He went on practising his signature on the leaves of the notebook as if it was a new hobby.
He shook his head and his hat swayed as if he was enjoying some favourite music. "I have taken too long without signing a decree, maybe that's why my signature doesn't look consistent. Practice makes perfect," he assured himself with a smile and continued scribbling, the ring on his finger gleaming. He looked through the window and breathed deeply.
In another part of the world where there's rain, cold, and restrain, another big man is waking up to the news of the summit. He is emerging from an empty room, sweating and singing. He has been doing physical exercise because of late he has been gaining extra kilos due to confinement. With his left hand he rubbed his tummy with a smile of satisfaction.
He had no time to waste. His mobile phone suddenly started ringing incessantly. His WhatsApp was being inundated with messages from supporters, friends, family members, his wife. After dressing up in a suit, necktie and ring on the finger he stood before a wall mirror. He regarded his figure with a shy smile which revealed a conspicuous gap in his front row teeth. He looked at his open right paw and kissed it. Then he also looked at the left paw and kissed it as if his luck was smeared there.
On the plane bound for the East, he read a newspaper, concentrating on the World Cup sports stories. The man loves football. He also browsed through the horoscope column. He looked at the sealing of the plane thoughtfully, then shifted his gaze to the window, into space. He stifled a yawn. At the back of his mind he wondered how he was going to meet the Big Man he had not seen in two years except on the telly or newspapers. Then he looked at his right hand and kissed it softly. He also thought about his wife. He shifted a bit in his seat to make himself comfortable. Maybe he was nervous and excited at the same time?
The stage managers bid with their lips. And they could swear by the soil of the earth where their ancestors were buried long time ago that they were qualified to do the job.
The veterans bragged and thumped their distended chests that they had a rich track record. But surprisingly, a greenhorn who emerged from obscurity scooped the show, putting to test his youthful charm. The youthful master juggler himself, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, is a beneficiary of an 'early exit policy' of a considerate elder brother. He is proving to doubting Thomases that with the mantle firmly in his grip, yes, he can!
How he dealt with the gladiators who were pulling in different directions was a feat in itself.
It was like a fairy-tale poorly constructed. The story tellers were destroying the yarn as it went on and on, getting out of control. A bad story, an observer would conclude.
The concern was the characters in the story. The inferno at the centre of it. When the owners, not errant tenants mind you, who were consumed by corrosive anger, set their new house on fire. Neighbours who invested heavily in their expensive houses will get worried. They don't fold their hands but will each try to come to the rescue with a pale of water to put out the fire. But the fire was too big for a pale of water.
But when the inferno rages on, and infants and elderly people are burned to death, some survivors will run to the neighbours, and the orphaned children will have no milk because they are deprived of the lifesaving mammary glands, it turns out the chief characters in the fairy-tale escaped unhurt. Elephants being elephants, destructive in nature, could they have been the cause of the inferno in their own quarters?
To tackle the problem of orphaned children and survivors scattered in the houses of neighbours, it was inconsequential to ask silly questions about the who or the what or whose grass torch started the fire in the first place. All those details are laid bare in the fairy-tale retold over and over until neighbours' ears are tired.
That is how other stage managers came in, in good faith?
Going by the adage that too many cooks spoil the soup, the new stage manager, the Young Turk referred to earlier, summoned the chief characters in the fairy-tale, the elephants who could not see eyeball to eyeball because both of them were wounded emotionally. It was therefore decided that they were to undergo some initial therapy in
healing garden.
The elephants ate humble pie apiece although in the background their angry supporters were puffing and huffing and casting doubts on the approach of the Young Turk.
"How can he succeed where others have failed?" Others said.
"What type of therapy is this?"
But before the so-called contagious handshake could happen, nerves were stilled, and the elephants cast aspersions on the motive of the Young Turk, the new kid on the block, probably a descendant of King Solomon with a streak of wisdom in his veins, age notwithstanding.
"Go! But beware of a booby-trap. Tread with care!"
"Don't go! Don't trust that cunning guy. He could be hiding a short gun under his arm!"
"Go! But don't shake his hand!"
"Don't go! We can see the fire of revenge burning in his eyes."
Diehard supporters on each side across the diving line, especially the hardliners, urged their patron.
"Should I? Should I not?"
Each one of the two chief characters pondered in their privacy. "And what is the consequence of not going, of not doing what is expected of me, of us?"
Finally, common sense, which is not common among hardliners, prevailed on the two chief characters. After all, it is more fun grazing together as a herd, they reasoned, as they offered each other the sign of peace on the prompting of the Young Turk stage manager. Hands were shaking and they still looked at each other with suspicion. They were actually shy to look at each other.
"You, you, don't try it here."
"Watch out! Don't try anything untoward lest I call my boys"
To calm down nerves, there was a banquet. Glasses of champagne clicked. Time for small talk. Guided talk. Cautious talk. No smiles. No laughter yet.
Then it was time to part.
"But why did we come here in the first place? Why did we shake hands?"
"It is routine, comrade, if you don't know. We are performing on a world stage, if you like."
"If it is about acting, I'm staying put to rehearse."
Shauri yako.
You can stay in the Jacuzzi or soak yourself in the swimming pool. By the way, you can go to the disco to dance. Bye-bye comrade, I'm going back home. But don't follow me, don't say I didn't warn you."
"Where did my wife place my English-Swahili dictionary?"
Fast forward. Another venue. Another day. Same setting. Same agenda. Different mood. More players, but with the same two chief characters. Something seems to have changed their attitude. They look a bit relaxed in the presence of another stage manager, the devil they both know. They feel at home here. The territory and people's faces are familiar. The environment is not new. They were here before
They also have extended relatives here. If they get lost in the suburbs of their former days of grinding poverty they can easily find their way to the five-star hotel.
There is small talk. Big talk. Plastic smiles for the cameras. And handshakes. And music. Arab music. Finger clicking in the air and thumping of feet on the carpet.
The stage manager here is an old hand. He has hook and bait. He is a go-getter. He knows what he wants from his two guests. It is not the handshake he wants to secure, but the interest of his house.
Signatures land on paper and there is more music and dance. Little people back home are cupping their chins in their hands, wondering if this was not another attempt at 'making unity attractive' again.
This agenda is going in circles like a funeral drum being moved from one corner to another to bust the jinx. Now it has moved three different venues. Where next?
This is a new venue. The same chief actors. The venue is familiar to the actors. They have interests here. They talk and talk and talk until their jaws get tired like people who have been forced to chew dry maize. The video camera lenses are focusing on them. The script is the same. The directors are the same, missing is the Young Turk. Handshake. Serious look. Suppressed smile. The acting is
"We have been asked to work together again."
"Me and you? How? And where?"
"Don't you know?"
"Don't raise your voice, the cameras are rolling."
"It wasn't me."

Home Gear Guide Horse Wear You Might Like
Caremaster Pro+ Fly Mask
I found the fly mask was very secure, with the double Velcro straps preventing the mask from being removed. The design of the T-shaped nylon bar allowed a lot of room between my horse's eyes and the material, avoiding any irritation or rubbing. I like the fact that it had a reflective strip across the front of the mask and a blue LED light, which helped me locate my horse. I also liked that the nose attachment was removable. I feel that the fit of the mask was comfortable for my horse and the fleece lining added to this, however, the fleece caused him to get quite hot in it, which is a disadvantage.
I would definitely recommend this mask and found it good value for money, as there was no sign of wear and tear during my trial.
- T-shaped, hard nylon bar keeps a large space between the eyes and the eye piece to prevent irritation, while maximising eye protection
- Thoroughly fleece-lined to prevent rubbing
- 70% UV reflection and absorption by ultra-durable, PVC eye piece
- Breathable, Velcro-safe material under the chin to allow air flow while preventing Velcro damage to the mask
- Double Velcro straps under the chin, which make the mask stay in place
- Soft mesh ear covers
- Blue LED light to help locate your horse when it's dark, powered by button battery and can last 48 hours

Delilah was a musician in Los Angeles, whom Lucifer Morningstar had assisted into the spotlight by influencing the right people. She was, however, murdered at the Lux nightclub, much to Lucifer's dismay.
A few years ago, she worked at Lux, a bar owned by Lucifer Morningstar. Lucifer would occasionally accompany her while she sang and later did a favor for her. He introduced her to several people who owed him favors, leading to her becoming famous. She almost married her producer Jimmy Barnes, but left him at the altar. He later trapped her in the bathroom at the Grammys, saying he wanted to get back together. Later, her life started falling apart and she started doing drugs.
In "Pilot", Delilah visits Lucifer at Lux. She asks him if she sold her soul to the Devil, but Lucifer tells her to repay the favor by pulling herself together. He kisses her forehead and walks her out. As they hug goodbye, a car drives by and shoots multiple times, killing her. After the incident, Lucifer is determined to find out who her murderer was, thus intruding into the LAPD investigation led by Detective Chloe Decker. They track down the murderer, who turns out to be her former record producer, Jimmy Barnes.

looks so simple nd easy!!!!!!!!!
what can i use instead of the smaller tray
rate me please
what do u mean by inlet
where the air will be fed
o nvm
using matches for a propeller doesnt seem that practical
This works just fine, everyone. DO NOT knock it until you make it!! Also there is another one like this by Dr. No. Nice instructible, keep up the good work and keep contributing. Don't let these critical nasty people discourage you. They are probably just jealous anyways...makes them feel better to knock people down.
First off, you really need pictures if not a video of it working too. Also, the design doesn't look that great... It's better to have a skirt around the exhaust hole/s to catch the air and hold it for as long as possible instead of letting it escape quickly like this design would. That way there's a nice cushion of air. Also the fan placement is bad. The fan should be inside of the inlet hole instead of just part of it being over it. That would give you much more power. The fan should also be facing upwards so that way it won't always pull the hovercraft in one direction (unless that's what you want, which isn't what I'd want). You're almost just giving the basic idea of a hovercraft instead of how to actually build one as there are so few specifics about how to make it.
its a piant image and the is no need for skirts because it produces enough lift like the original invention
... Yeah. I know it's a paint image and that's why I said you should get real pictures. I never said it needed a skirt, just that it would be better. It would let you use a smaller, lighter motor which allows for it to get more lift off of the ground or lets you add on more weight for whatever reason you want to.
Do you even have real pictures of it working, and a video either?Aar000n3y basically said what I want to say.
Have to say i've tried something similar at least twice without a huge amount of success never had an light and powerful motor or an efficient enough motor!
I...don't think this would would..to be quite honest...your propeller would hit the floor..it's all horrible, to be blunt. Plus there are no actual pictures.

Tips for a Successful Event Planning
Get to know of the basic parameters needed for planning an event so that they may guide you when looking forward to begin planning an event. First and foremost, you need to make a list to use and act as a guide to planning your event from the beginning till the end. Event planning needs to be done in an order thus for you to remember all the necessary steps you should prepare a checklist to follow or guide you towards completion of the event. Also, you should evaluate the event first before you begin planning for the event.
Having readily available finance to see the entire event planning from the beginning to the end is a must have before beginning your planning to ensure the project will not be stopped while you are still in the planning process. The budget you ought to have should be specific and include all the revenues and expenses that will involve in planning the event. If the money for planning the event will come from donations, ticket buying, sales or sponsorship, you should group them accordingly to assist you in distributing it equally to cater the expenses of planning the event.
Make sure that you not only plan the event but to ensure the location site you are willing to plan the event will be appropriate and play vital role in ensuring the event successfully happens. Get to know the factors that will be responsible to guarantee the success of the planned event such as the room capacity, whether it's an outdoor or indoor event and if there is need for podiums and other equipments. Prepare a serving area and know how food will be distributed whether it will be a buffet so that you will direct guests on the procedure to follow when the time for taking meals reach. To ensure safety of your guests after the event, make sure that there are plenty of designated drivers to those who may be unable to drive home.
Find out the best marketing methods to use to spread information regarding the planned event to ensure that a fair number of people come to the event if it is not restricted to certain people. Since advertising is expensive especially through electronic means you should look out for inexpensive marketing methods and use them to advertise the event. Book a speaker and entertainer in advance who will facilitate the event. When selecting a parking space for the guest who will be in attendance on that day, you should ensure the location is easily accessible.

From the time I was a child I have been intrigued with the patterning of light and the interaction of color. In the course of my life path I fell away from any sense of creative freedom, working from what I thought was expected of me. Through the long process of releasing an imposed belief system and replacing it with my own experiences and truths I have become able, emotionally and spiritually to access my child spirit through my adult educated mind. I am powerfully influenced by the passionate colors of the Italian High Renaissance and the gestural freedom of Impressionism and abstract expressionism. The spirituality of the theories in these genres has also had a great impact on me. In my work I seek to establish the intricate web...

On Tuesday, Feb. 7, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit heard arguments from the "State of Washington v. Trump" case after Seattle federal judge James Robart issued a temporary restraining order halting President Donald Trump's executive order that was signed Friday, Jan. 27. The court will decide in the following days if the restraining order will be lifted. However, an appeal to the Supreme Court is likely, according to The New York Times.
In response to the appeal on Tuesday, Trump tweeted, "If the U.S. does not win this case as it so obviously should, we can never have the security and safety to which we are entitled. Politics!"
The executive order, titled "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States," suspends the entrance of all refugees for 120 days and Syrian refugees indefinitely, according to the White House. It also bans immigration from seven predominantly Muslim countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — for 90 days.
"I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America. We don't want them here," Trump said in a signing ceremony at the Pentagon on Jan. 27. "We want to ensure we are not admitting into our country the very threats our soldiers are fighting overseas."
Following the order, students and immigrants with valid visas and green cards were detained in airports across the world or sent home due to widespread confusion about the ban, according to CNN.
The order has been criticized and praised by political figures, the media and the general public alike, including former Attorney General Sally Yates, who said in an announcement on Monday, Jan. 30 that the Justice Department would not defend President Trump's order.
"I am responsible for ensuring that the positions we take in court remain consistent with this institution's solemn obligation to always seek justice and stand for what is right," Yates said. "At present, I am not convinced that the defense of the executive order is consistent with these responsibilities nor am I convinced that the executive order is lawful."
Later that evening, Yates received a formal letter from Trump informing her that she had been removed from office, and Dana J. Boente was promptly sworn in as acting attorney general, according to the New York Times.
The executive order sparked protests around the country in cities and airports, including the steps of Arkansas State Capitol where hundreds of Arkansans gathered on Sunday, Jan. 29 to voice their opposition to the ban and their support of Muslims and refugees, according to Arkansas Matters.
Similarly, students and faculty at Harding are feeling the impact of Trump's order, including senior Dorothee Garcia, whose parents and brother still live in Sudan. Garcia said that even though her family does not have Sudanese passports, she is worried about her plans to travel to Sudan for the summer.
"I don't want there to be any complications of me leaving the country, only to face problems coming back for my last semester," Garcia said. "Especially with one of my life-milestones, I'm worried about my parents not being able to enter the U.S. for my graduation. I think there are many faces to evil people. Inhibiting whole populations (from) entry and, to an extent, staying in the country, isn't right."
Senior Chukwuma Umezurike, an international student from Nigeria, said that while America has the right to enact policies it deems necessary to protect its borders, the court will have to decide if this particular policy is constitutional.
"I personally believe that what has made America exceptional over the years has been its belief and practice in core principles and values which I think this recent order deviates from," Umezurike said. "This order could have been less chaotic and less confusing if the appropriate interagency collaboration had been done properly."
As for refugees, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees said in a statement on Jan. 30 that an estimated 20,000 refugees would be affected due to the order over the next 120 days. The United Nations Human Rights Chief also released a statement on Jan. 30 saying that the order violated international human rights law.
Monte Cox, dean of the College of Bible and Ministry, said that while he is unsure of the constitutionality of the executive order, he is saddened by the motives behind it.
"Our default setting must be to welcome, to be hospitable," Cox said. "Right now, there is a climate of fear and fearfulness toward the other, whatever you think the other might be — someone who is not like you."
Cox also commented that due to the politics of the situation, Christians can often miss an opportunity to fulfill their mission to the strangers among us.
"Let us tend to your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," Cox said. "Give us your tired and your poor — us, the people of God — and we'll take care of it."
Due to the amount of opposition to the executive order, a lawsuit was filed from the states of Washington and Minnesota, resulting in Robart's temporary nationwide ban on the order on Friday, Feb. 3, according to The New York Times.
The White House quickly retaliated on Feb. 4 saying the federal government would challenge the Robart's ban, according to USA Today. The Justice Department asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to reverse Robart's decision and reinstate the executive order and were denied on Feb. 5.
A decision on whether the ban will be lifted and the executive order reinstated will come in the following days, with the likelihood of an appeal to the Supreme Court as well.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paddy Crerand was involved in an astonishing outburst on national radio on Monday morning as he reacted angrily to the suggestion that Rio Ferdinand could in any way have provoked Manchester City fans with his celebration of United's winner in Sunday's derby.
Ferdinand appeared to be hit by a coin following Robin van Persie's late goal at the Etihad Stadium and City goalkeeper Joe Hart also had to prevent a supporter from confronting the United defender.
It was put to Crerand during a BBC Radio Five Live interview that listeners had suggested players should tone down their celebrations in front of opposition fans. Crerand was disgusted by the idea Ferdinand had any responsibility and challenged the station to say how many people had blamed Ferdinand. "Who said that? That is ridiculous," Crerand said.
"What planet do they live on? That is absolute garbage. How many people have phoned you up? One, two, three? How many? Why make a statement like that if you haven't got (the number of listeners) to hand...if you haven't got the evidence?"
Asked to respond to the suggestion that Ferdinand could have provoked the attacks, Crerand added: "I think the point is absolutely ludicrous."
At one point Crerand asked interviewer Chris Warburton: "Is this a publicity stunt? Ask me a sensible question and don't talk stupid, asking me daft questions about whether fans should celebrate or not."
Warburton's co-presenter Rachel Burden interjected to suggest to Crerand that there may have been a misunderstanding of the question that had been asked. Crerand demanded again to know how many people had contacted the show. He said: "How many texts? A million? Half a million? A hundred thousand?"
Crerand added: "Rio Ferdinand was nowhere near where the home fans were. He gets struck by a coin that someone has thrown from about 15 or 20 yards, it wasn't as if he was standing in front of their supporters jumping up and down."
Crerand later insisted he stood by what he had said in his radio interview. He said the issue was with a coin being thrown, not the players' reaction, and therefore he was not prepared to add fuel to what he considered was the wrong debate.
"It is a local derby and you are expected to get carried away, particularly after you've come back having been 2-0 up and let it get to 2-2," he told Press Association Sport." But they (Five Live) were looking for something sensationalist, they weren't looking for anything sensible. They were interested in making it worse than it was."

Waleed Abdulhamid & Friends: From The Nile to the Don
From The Nile to the Don: in the meeting place.
Beyond rhythm and beat, Waleed Abdulhamid's compositions are musical journalism. Each composition is a story about an experience or journey. Sometimes these experiences are personal, sometimes the journeys are about bringing the story of the Nile and Nubian pyramids to our contemporary times. Mostly, what this musical journalism does is create a relationship between the storyteller (the band) and the audience.
Waleed Abdulhamid - Vocal + Bass + Tambour + Marimba + Lakoumbi
Ilios Steryannis - Drums
Patrick O'Reilly - Guitar
Joseph Leo Callender - Saxs
The creative vision of this band is to combine the ancient rhythms of Africa with the jazz harmonies of modern times. In essence these two worlds, from different places in time, meet in our creative expression. Like Toronto, the meeting place, our music is a meeting place. Our music and the title of the album reflect the origins of the music, the inspiration for the music and what it achieves – the harmonious mixing of rhythm and harmony just as Toronto is a harmonious mix of cultures and peoples. Our band members have over 30 years of experience playing across the globe with high profile acts and Grammy award-winning artists.

In 1.7.1 article movement shortcuts are a bit different in combined mode.
n/p or up/down will scroll long posts before switching to the next one
Ctrl-up/down will move between posts like previous versions
I used to fiddle in the mappings to put N and P on the up/down keys, so this is convenient to me.
However I was playing around a bit with the new behaviour of up/down, and in real life use I think it's less than smooth. If you're looking at small articles, it jumps from one to the next. If you're looking at larger articles, it scrolls quite far on each key press, so I find it hard to keep in the flow of the text you're looking at. When there's a small article after a long one, it jumps down till the small one is on top of the screen. It seemed to me sufficiently random in scrolling down that I reverted back to mapping N/P. That one scrolls down predictably and a relatively small amount, so it feels smoother.
Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the update nevertheless

For many years gambling on sports meant that most people had to visit their local betting shop, many of which were not exactly welcoming places and tended to be dark and dreary. It is also true that most betting shops were not geared up to cover any sports other than horse racing and to a lesser extent greyhound racing. Even gambling on football was not a particularly common activity in many of Ireland's betting shops. Our betting shops have of course changed dramatically over the past few years, and most of them are now bright and cheerful and much more user friendly than those of yesteryear. Most have window displays featuring special deals for sports gambling fans, gambling on football is now almost on a par with gambling on horse racing in our betting shops. Controversially almost all the high street betting shops now also feature fixed odds casino gambling terminals which enable customers to play gambling games such as roulette as if they were playing online. It is not for us to get involved in the debate as to whether these machines encourage irresponsible gambling, but we do know that the rise of online gambling has put enormous pressure on the profitability of our betting shops and many of the major bookmakers have been saying that these machines are essential if the high street betting shop is to survive.
As far as sports gambling in Ireland is concerned we still appear to love gambling on horse racing more than any other sports gambling activity. Horse racing and greyhound racing are of course two sports which historically rely on spectators gambling on the races at the track, and that remains true to this day. Even though more and more of us are gambling on our favourite sports online the tracks are absolutely dependent on our attendance at their meetings for their very existence. Fortunately a day at the races is still an essential part of the Irish culture, and let's face it there is no better place to enjoy gambling on horse racing than actually at the track. It is also true that modern technology and the capabilities of our mobile phones means that we can still choose to place our bets online even if we are at the track.
Our betting shops have done their best to respond to the rise of online sports gambling, and as we have already said gambling on football is now big business at most of our high street bookmakers but what about other sports. The single most important effect of the rise of online gambling and online sports gambling in particular is the huge expansion of gambling options. Visit any major online sports gambling site and you will find a long list of sports and sporting events for you to bet on, including many which until now probably never attracted much attention from sports gambling fans. However it is not just the increased range of sports and sporting events that have resulted from the introduction of online sports gambling, we now also have far more options as to how we gamble. For many years for example football gambling was primarily concerned only with the result, but nowadays in-play gambling enables us to bet on a wide choice of options ranging from the score at full time and half time, to who scores and when. Many people would argue that the option for us to gamble on a sporting event as it progresses is the most important development in sports gambling we have ever seen, and in-play gambling has certainly become very popular indeed.
So which other sports have benefitted most from the rise of online gambling in Ireland. Not surprisingly they tend to be those sports in which Irish teams have had a degree of success. Rugby for example is a sport which has seen Ireland have several relatively successful years in the Six Nations tournament, and this has been backed up by success for Irish provincial sides in the European Cup which has therefore led to a significant rise in interest in gambling on rugby. Rugby is also one of those sports which offers a range of gambling options including for example margin of victory, a bet which is popular when there is an overwhelming favourite. Another sport which has become popular as a result of relative success is golf. Over recent years Ireland have had a very successful crop of golfers to support and gambling on golf has risen accordingly. A golf tournament held over four days is of course and ideal gambling opportunity which enables us to follow the course of play and modify our betting as the tournament progresses.
Any discussion regarding Irish sports gambling must obviously include the GAA sports of football and hurling. Although these are primarily sports only followed exclusively in Ireland, the availability of online sports gambling has enabled the huge number of Irish expats now living abroad to reignite their interest in GAA sports which have also seen a rise in gambling online. Whilst there are many Irish Americans now gambling on GAA sports online, we have also seen Irish sports gambling fans at home gambling on American football as a result of increased television coverage and internet access.
Television coverage is also responsible for the success of other sports in attracting the attention of sports gambling fans. The popularity of snooker as a spectator sport and gambling activity is almost entirely down to the television coverage over many years, and we are now seeing a very similar situation with darts. Both of these sports are ideal for in-play gambling, particularly snooker where individual frames can be forecast as well as the final result. Gambling on motor racing, particularly Formula One racing has also become more popular as a result of widespread television and radio coverage, and although many of the big fights are no longer free to watch on terrestrial television gambling on boxing is also a very popular sports gambling activity.
Whatever your chosen sport the availability of online gambling has probably increased its fan base in every country where sports gambling is part of the culture, and certainly in Ireland.

Well, it's been a while since I last posted about our journey… and the reason for that is because I felt like I failed miserably during the 4th quarter of the school year. There were many weeks that Bubba and I didn't even step foot in the library during the months of April and May because I was so busy with work (don't ever tell me that teachers have it easy because they only work 8:00am-3:00pm!)
It's not that I didn't read to Bubba, though. I still read to him every night, but the books I read him were from his stack of favorites that we keep in his bedroom and in our four-seasons room – we weren't reading any "new" library books.
Luckily, the summer came and we got back into our routine of walking to the library together every couple days to load up his stroller with reading materials.
By the way, how come nobody ever told me that most strollers have a convenient storage area under the child's seat?! I had been carrying all these books by hand when I could've had it so much easier! Oh well, just another lesson I've learned by trying to read every picture book in our library to my son!

If you answered yes to both questions, Clear Lending offers mortgage loan programs from the federal housing administration, also known as FHA Mortgage Loan Programs, specially designed for first time home buyers. The First Time Home Buyer Loan Programs are in Houston amongst the most popular mortgage loan products because of its affordable down payment, by far its less stringent lending standards as in the case of VA Loans and above all because of its lowest minimum credit score requirements.
Pre Qualify For Fha Loan With Bad Credit These are among the best mortgage lenders in Indiana for first-time home buyers and borrowers with low credit. to apply for a mortgage and manage the process through online tools, whether buying or.
Are FHA loans only for first-time home buyers? No. This loan program is designed to make homeownership more accessible, and you do not have to be a first-time buyer to benefit from it. Who Can Use an FHA Loan? Thanks to their low down payment requirements and comparatively lenient credit criteria, FHA loans are often suggested to first-time buyers.
If you limit it only to first-time home borrowers, or those who are mission-only borrowers, you're probably going to have a lower overall credit profile." HUD also suggested that the FHA should.
There's no way to predict whether we're in the early stages of a crash, but the cooling, at least in theory, could help.
The most significant FHA first time home buyer benefits are the reduced down payment (only 3.5 percent for individuals with a credit score of 580 or higher) and the lower credit score requirements. They are particularly great for first time buyers because they do not actually require credit at all.
FHA loans, which require a 3.5. Condos, too, are popular with first-time buyers because they often offer an affordable price to enter the housing market and require less home maintenance. Yet only.

While 20 percent is ideal, you don't necessarily need that large of a down payment to buy a home. There are loan programs that cater to first-time home buyers, such as the FHA loan, which allow for down payments as little as 3.5%. Even some conventional loans allow for down payments as low as 3 percent.

On 14th June, two students from the Beda College in Rome, Ronald Seery and John Tabor, were ordained as deacons for service in the Diocese of Westminster by Bishop Seamus Cunningham, Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, at the Papal Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls. They were among a cohort of 12 men from nine different dioceses from across the world, which included five men from England, three from Australia, two from Malaysia, one from India and one from South Africa. This reflects the international flavour of the Beda, which, while it is under the care and responsibility of the Bishops of England and Wales, welcomes students from across the English-speaking world, and sometimes beyond.
June is always a busy month at the Beda, beginning with examinations and then a few days' relative quiet before the arrival of friends and guests for the diaconal ordinations, which themselves mark both the climax and the end of the college year. This year was no exception and the added factor of the early summer heat (it was 34C on the day itself), heightened the feeling of year's end.
For those being ordained, the day itself can be seen as the climax of one's time at the Beda, and certainly the solemnity and sense of new beginnings which the event occasion does lend itself to this idea. Nonetheless, the diaconate, while it does publicly mark a new beginning, should not be seen as the end; rather it is perhaps the end of the beginning. In his homily, Bishop Seamus considered the phrase 'the Lord be with you' in the life of a deacon. It is a call to service, just as when the Angel greeted Our Lady with these words at the Annunciation.
The Beda has a motto, taken from St Bede: Miserando atque Elegeno,'lowly but chosen'. This phrase sums up very well what it is for each one of us, called by God in discerning a vocation to the priestly life. God has initiated the call and we, in responding to that call to the best of our ability, offer ourselves in service to the people of the diocese, from whom we have been drawn. It is an opportunity to serve them and so build up vibrant communities accompanying each other in love and charity.
Deacon Ronald will spend the next year in service at Burnt Oak Parish. Deacon John returns to Rome in October for a final year of studies at the Beda.
On 12th July, another Roman seminarian, Antonio Pineda, who is studying at the Venerable English College was also ordained to the diaconate. Deacon Antonio also returns to Rome for a final year of studies at the Venerable.
Please keep these men and all who were ordained to the diaconate and priesthood for our diocese this summer in your prayers.
Additional photos of Deacon John and Deacon Ronald's ordination are available at the College website: www.bedacollege.com

SC Upholds Allahabad HC Direction To Apply Subject-Wise Reservation In Teaching Posts In Universities
January 23, 2019
The Supreme Court yesterday rejected Centre's challenge against a 2017 judgment of Allahabad High Court which had held that reservations in teaching posts in Universities are to be applied by taking subject/discipline as the unit, instead of university.
A bench of Justices U U Lalit and Indira Banerjee refused leave to appeal to Ministry of Human Resources Department to challenge the High Court judgment delivered in the case Vivekanand Tiwari v Union of India on April 7, 2017.
The Allahabad High Court had quashed clauses No.6(c) and 8 (a)(v) of the UGC Guidelines dated 25.08.2006, which prescribed the manner of applying reservations for SC/ST/OBC in teaching posts. As per Clause 6(c), all posts under a University had to be grouped together for the purposes of reservation. It forbid the practise of creating department-wise cadre. Clause 8(a)(v) directed the application of 40-point or 100-point roster to the total number of posts in a cadre, as per the judgment in R K Sabharwal v State of Punjab. Similarity of pay-scale was the determinative factor for determining the cadre, according to this clause.
These clauses were quashed by the HC bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Daya Shankar Tripathi, holding that they were in "direct conflict and in violation of the law laid down by the Apex Court and different High Courts consistently from 1990 till date". The bench referred to ten judgments of Supreme Court and other High Courts which held that reservation is to be applied department-wise or subject-wise treating it as a 'Unit' and not the University as a 'Unit'. The SC precedents Dr. Suresh Chandra Verma Vs. The Chancellor Nagpur University, , State of U.P. Vs. M. C. Chatopadhyay, State of Karnataka Vs. K. Govindappa, were mainly referred by the High Court.
Tracing the reason behind subject-wise quota, the bench observed :
An Assistant Professor in subject 'A' cannot be an applicant for direct appointment as Associate Professor or Professor in subject 'B', 'C' or 'D'. He can only apply for the post in the subject 'A'. The seniority for becoming Head of the Department would be of the teachers in the same subject. There is no interse competition between the teachers in the same level of different subjects as all posts of higher level from entry level are by way of selection. There is no such provision in the teaching cadre in the Universities of promotion being granted on the basis of seniority irrespective of the department or the subject. Their competition is with candidates of their subject/department and not of different subjects.
The High Court also held that sameness of pay-scale cannot be taken to consider teaching posts in various subjects as a single cadre :
Merely because Assistant Professor, Reader, Associate Professor and Professor of each subject or the department are placed in the same pay-scale but their services are neither transferable nor they are in competition with each other. It is for this reason also that clubbing of the posts for the same level treating the University as a 'Unit' would be completely unworkable and impractical. It would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution.
If the University is taken as a 'Unit' for every level of teaching and applying the roster, it could result into some departments/subjects having all reserved candidates and some having only unreserved candidates,the Court further observed.
While allowing the petition, the High Court also made certain observations on the need to revisit the policy of applying reservations in teaching posts, based on the remarks in Indira Sawhney and Nagaraj judgments.
Last October, a five judges' bench of the Allahabad High Court upheld the correctness of the judgment in Dr.Vishwajeet Singh v State of UP, which held that reservation and roster for lecturer post had to be applied subject wise treating the college to be a 'unit'.
A bill – Direct Recruitment in Central Educational Institutions Bill – was drafted by the Ministry to restore university-wise reservation formula, nullifying the judgments. However, the Bill was not tabled in the winter session.

'Ye whom the charms of grammar please'
Studies in English Language History in Honour of Leiv Egil Breivik
Edited By Kari Haugland, Kevin McCafferty and Kristian A. Rusten
The essays are all empirical studies, based on a wide range of corpora (both historical and contemporary) and applying theoretical approaches informed by Systemic-Functional Grammar, grammaticalization theory, dependency grammar, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics and corpus linguistic methods. Issues of methodology, statistics and corpus construction and annotation are also addressed in several contributions.
Kristian A. Rusten: Null referential subjects from Old to Early Modern English
Null referential subjects from Old to Early Modern English
1 Introduction
This article provides a quantitative investigation of the possibility of null-realized referential and generic subjects in early English finite clauses. Recently, corpus-based quantitative studies by Rusten (2010, 2013) and Walkden (2012, 2013) have begun to chart the occurrence and characteristics of this phenomenon in the Old English (OE) period. However, little quantitative attention has been paid to the long-term development of the phenomenon. Even so, van Gelderen's (2000: 137, 147) influential account argues that null referential subjects are not restricted to OE texts, and that 'pro-drop continues to occur' in Middle English (ME), persisting 'in [a] limited way' into the seventeenth century (2000: 147). This claim finds some support in the traditional literature. For instance, Mustanoja (1960: 138) states that '[n]on-expression of the subject-pronoun of the third person, singular and plural, is quite frequent in OE and ME', and also that '[p]ractically all the OE types of non-expression of the subject-pronoun are found in ME'. Additionally, Ohlander (1981: 37) argues that certain 'types of such omission' are actually 'more common' in ME than in OE. Thus, previous research has claimed that null referential subjects constitute a relatively frequently occurring phenomenon at both these stages of the language.
This article seeks to test the validity of such claims. Drawing on three treebanks covering the OE, ME and Early Modern English (EME) periods, the article will...

My @Quora answer to What are some arguments for banning non-personal campaign donations from US politics? http://qr.ae/7Do3N6
For me the biggest argument for strictly banning ALL corporate "donations" to policy-makers and ALL in kind "donations" is quite simple.
The Right to speak politically is an individual Right which is already vested in each individual. To vest an additional "Right" to such speech for corporations simply gives the Boards and managing executives of corporations an additional right to speak, aside from the one already vested with them, which other Citizens have no access to. Since many wealthy folks are managing members or directing members of multiple corporations this convenient fiat by SCOTUS gives them multiple voices with which to speak at politicians… thus drowning out the voices of ordinary Citizens.
This convenient fiat of corporate personhood gives Us this pattern we've had for almost 40 years now:
Which gives us this:
Here it is in the Study:
Note that this change wouldn't affect the right to assembly, as each Citizen could still donate individually, as they see fit; because that Right is vested with the individual. What it would do is prevent those who are Board, or Managing members of multiple corporations from having multiple "voices" to speak at politicians in order to bribe them for "favors" like $158 Billion in corporate welfare while cutting welfare for Citizens to pay for it.
I also think we should return to the standard limitations of each Citizen being able to contribute up to a maximum of what the median income earner could be reasonably expected to donate… sauce 10% of $50 k or $5k per person per year max, with overages handled via the RICO clauses on Bribery of Public Officials.
This would limit EVERYONE to the principal of "one person one vote, one person one voice" in our Constitution. Which is as it should be.

I've dealt with many real Estate agents over the past 25 plus years. By far Norma has been the best. Every issue or question I had was answered promtly and accurately. Her knowledge or the real estate industry and her willingness to put herself out there is second to none. She has a very bright
future ahead of her.I can't thank her enough.
-K. Badman
Norma was very professional and very helpful from the beginning to the closing. If we had questions she was always available for us. Gave us suggestions for getting the house ready for sale. Norma is very down to earth and friendly. We would highly recommend Norma to sell your home.
-L. Kreuter
Norma was very quick in responding all our questions from negotiations to the closing process. She has the knowledge about the local area. She was very helpful in getting the paper work done on time. Pleasure to work with Norma. Highly recommended.
-Deepinder Singh
We were fortunate to have her as our Realstate agent. The house we had our heart on was the one we were able to buy thanks to God for her persistence. Even when it was under contract by another buyer she keeped in contact with the seller. The contract never went thru and once there was a opening we
were able to view the home and immediatly put a bid and was accepted. We now live in our dream home. Thanks for your hard work Norma.

Hello @H.JamesH63,
Thanks for reaching out.Results really are the end goal of any marketing, so I would love to hear what kind of industry specific advice some of our community members can give! For the construction aspect, there are some best practices that really can help with driving results. My favorite is always working on a catchy call to action or working on keying in a strong Subject Line. It looks like Emily over at our Blog actually made a post that could give a bit of general insight as well!
So what are "catchy calls to action" or "strong subject lines?" Please give me some examples.

Hi @H.JamesH63
Briody provided some great links in the message above on strong subject lines and calls to action! I would be happy to provide some examples.
We find that subject lines that are set up as a question, ones that create a sense of urgency, or those that share something of value with your customers drive the best open results. For calls to action, you want the text to be short but also actionable. A few examples that I like for buttons are "Buy Now" or Sign Up Today".
I also found a few blog articles that I think would be really helpful.
I would suggest visiting our blog as it has many valuable articles that can assist you further with your email marketing.

I read this fabulous article this morning, which you should also read because Margaret Atwood is a Canadian national treasure, but the most important thing I gleaned from it, was Margaret Atwood stating publicly that there was a graphic novel in the works for The Handmaid's Tale!!!
'I'm working on a novel adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest, and another version of The Handmaid's Tale,' she says. 'It's been a film, an opera, a ballet, and now it's turning into a graphic novel.'
Some of you may remember this book from your nightmares, or your women's studies class in school. Either way, let's celebrate!!!
I honestly can't wait for this. All of the vivid colors and imagery she put into this story are really going to shine. I wasn't crazy about the movie adaptation, so let's see what the artistic team at (UNDISCLOSED COMPANY) can come up with!

An Israeli soldier has been caught on camera shooting tear gas into a Palestinian school in the occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron) during school hours, amid denials by Israel's military of such attacks.
The video, obtained by Israel's Haaretz newspaper on Thursday, show an Israeli soldier throwing a canister into the school's yard, followed by tear gas rising from it.
Palestinians have reported that the occupation forces shoot tear gas and stun grenades into schools on several occasions, but the Israeli military denies such incidents.
Last week, Palestinians reported to Breaking the Silence -- an anti-occupation Israeli NGO that collects reports about abuses by the regime soldiers in the Palestinian territories -- an increase in the scope of tear gas launched at al-Khalil schools, including primary schools.
In response to a query posed by Haaretz to the Israeli military last week, the army spokesperson claimed the military does not launch stun grenades or tear gas into schools.
However, the video, which was taken on November 18 outside the al-Khalil School for Boys, countered the Israeli official's claim.
Moreover, teachers told Haaretz that Israeli troops throw canisters at the school on a daily basis.
The school's manager keeps a box with dozens of used grenades and canisters, which he says were thrown at the school over the past couple of months, according to Haaretz.
The daily also said that dozens of photographs on display in the school document student arrests and incidents of tear gas canisters thrown at the school since 2015.
Following Haaretz's query and the recent video, the Israeli army spokesperson was forced to confirm the incident, but said it is unusual and will be looked into.
Ron Zaidel, director of research for Breaking the Silence, said "while thousands of Palestinian students are suffocating from tear gas," the Israeli military spokesperson "is trying to put up a smoke screen to hide the reality on the ground from the public."
Zaidel said the thousands of testimonies collected by the group over the years "clearly show that violence against children is an unavoidable part of the military dictatorship ruling a civilian population."
