Supplying healthy, local food for early childcare facilities.

The Problem
The Solution
What makes us the right fit?
I have been working with young children in the Early Child Care setting for over 9 years and have noticed an overwhelming amount of children that are not being fed well at home or at early Learning programs. Some reasons are due to program financial restrictions, time management issues, or lack of knowledge that children who are not fed healthy meals will develop slowly and have less energy which can result in childhood obesity or disease. I have operated Whitaker Family Child Care program since 2013 and have seen the positive impact that teaching healthy habits and integrating good meals into the lives of young children, 1- 12 years old has on their wellness. Parents often provide positive feedback on the meal choices served in our program, and students have been more likely to try foods that they might not have experienced before at home. I want to help other Early Child Care providers, children and parents throughout Lancaster County know the options of purchasing food locally and the nutritional benefits it provides our youth.

Liverpool took a giant leap towards the top four as they downed local rivals Everton 4-0 under a floodlit Anfield.
Goals from Gerrard, Sturridge (x2) and Suárez consigned Everton to the worst Merseyside derby defeat since 1982. Lining up with almost the same personnel who started the Aston Villa game – replacing Glen Johnson with Jon Flanagan – the Reds went about soaking up Everton pressure before embarking on blistering counter attacks which left Roberto Martinez's men in a state of shock after a first half which included three high quality Liverpool goals. The result means much more than local bragging rights with Liverpool now four points clear of their bitter rivals, as well as being three points clear of fifth placed Tottenham, and having a significant goal difference advantage over both.
The match started with Liverpool completely dominant but it was Ross Barkley who created the first half chance of the game. The young midfielder fizzed a left footed strike just over Simon Mignolet's crossbar from around 30 yards – it was a good signal of intent from the confident attacker but Everton's threat never materialised. Liverpool made all the running and made several openings which required varying degrees of urgency from Tim Howard. Henderson threatened first for the home side when the ball sat up kindly on the edge of the Everton box, his dipping volley was turned away at a comfortable height by Howard. Sterling came closest for Liverpool when he was put through on goal by Sturridge only for Howard to stick a foot out and thwart a certain goal. Suárez was also looking busy, looking to test the Toffees' goalkeeper with early snapshots from outside the box.
The goal came from a relatively underused source – Steven Gerrard's head. Suárez curled in a delicious corner that was just asking to be converted when Gerrard rose highest in a busy penalty area – things were made even worse for Everton when Gareth Barry, attempting to stop Gerrard from connecting with the cross, took out Romelu Lukaku who had to be stretchered off with a protective strap around his ankle. Sturridge went close to doubling the lead in the 27th minute when Suárez set him up for a right footed curler from just outside the box.
It was at this point that Everton appeared to shift into life a little more with Phil Jagielka forcing a good save out of Simon Mignolet despite stretching to his left to get the shot off, Barry fluffed his follow-up shot too to leave the Reds' lead intact. Mirallas came close next with a low drive from distance that was skidding and spinning along the greasy Anfield turf, to the relief of Mirallas' Belgian counterpart the ball finished up just wide of the 'keeper's right hand post.
However, despite the apparent emergence of Everton as a threat in the game, Liverpool doubled their lead a mere minute later with Philippe Coutinho instrumental. Everton were dispossessed on their left hand side before the ball was worked to Coutinho who glided forward before threading a through-ball to Daniel Sturridge – who had been completely left unattended by Blues youngster John Stones who had gambled on the ball being switched and pushed forward. The England striker slotted the ball over Tim Howard to double the Reds' advantage.
Delight turned to complete euphoria just two minutes later when Kolo Touré found Daniel Sturridge with a simple, straight, over the top ball. The in-form striker then expertly lobbed the ball over the on-rushing Howard to send everyone associated with Liverpool into complete delirium.
Everton started the second half strongly with substitute Leon Osman coming close after finding space inside the Liverpool penalty area before curling a shot towards the top corner which was stopped superbly by Simon Mignolet. However, any recovery was soon ended as Suárez intercepted a square Jagielka pass before sprinting half the length of the field to coolly slot a left footed finish past Tim Howard – the Uruguayan's 23rd goal of the season.
With the game dead and buried at 4-0 there was still time for Liverpool to earn a 54th minute penalty when Howard brought Raheem Sterling to the ground with the ball poked beyond the American's reach. Sturridge was gifted the ball by captain Steven Gerrard, only to scream the ball high into the Kop.
The game began to fizzle out at this point with Liverpool more than happy to defend against Everton's long periods of possession. There was time for Coutinho to flash a strike onto the outside of Howard's near post but other than that there was little attacking worthy of note.

The new version of Android, Android 11, is causing ripples in the Android community as many OEMs are clamouring to push out their respective skins to eligible devices.
While Android 11 might not exactly be a drastic departure from what we've come to expect from Android, other OEMs' skinned versions of Android 11 are anything but subtle improvements.
OnePlus' OxygenOS 11 is vastly different from its traditional stock-Android-inspired look and feel, adopting a Samsung One UI-inspired look. More on that here.
We're closely following the development and rollout of OxygenOS 11 and you can check out our dedicated OxygenOS 11 tracker for more on this.
At the time of writing, OxygenOS 11 was officially available on the OnePlus 8T which ran this out of the box, and the OnePlus 8 series of devices.
So where does that leave the OnePlus 7 and other eligible devices? Well, initial reports indicated that the update wouldn't come until 2021.
However, OnePlus has since confirmed with Android Authority that the company plans to roll out the OxygenOS 11 update for the OnePlus 7 series this year in December.
In line with this, today we're seeing reports from the Chinese OnePlus Community Forum suggesting that the latest Android 10 Public Beta is likely the last one before Android 11.
The current version is the last public beta version based on Android 10. It is expected that a public beta version based on Android 11 will be launched by the end of the year. This version will receive a push of the public beta version based on Android 11.
The reports further suggest that Android 11 for the OnePlus 7 series of devices will be available as from later this year. While this particular info applies to the Chinese variants, it is also applicable to non-Chinese variants as well.
This info also corresponds with the unofficial OnePlus' roadmap to Android 11 that surfaced a few days ago. This suggested that OxygenOS 11 for the OnePlus 7 devices would come in December 2020.
Should all this come to pass, OnePlus will have been done with the major part of its Android 11 deployment by the end of the year, leaving the OnePlus 6 and 6T to bag OxygenOS 11 in 2021.
We can only hope to see more OEMs fast-track their development and deployment of Android 11 to eligible devices as soon as possible.

Nintendo gave us a longer look at Mario Golf: Super Rush this morning. Today's Overview Trailer reveals the game's starting roster, and more importantly, the roster's starting fits. We also get a look at some of the courses, as well as some new details on Super Rush's new multiplayer mode, Speed Golf.
The beginning of the trailer covers the familiar gameplay of the Mario Golf series. Check wind, eyeball the fairway, watch your charge bar, hit the ball. Simple button combinations add backspin and curve to your swing. A new feature let's you scan the terrain, though this just seems like a repackage of the same old way you inspect the green. We get a reminder that Mario Golf: Super Rush will have motion controls.
Mario Golf: Super Rush – Characters and Locale
Then the new info starts. We get our first look at the starting roster, 16 characters from the Mario franchise. We get some classics, like Daisy and Waluigi, who have become staple characters in Mario sports games. Super Rush also adds three newcomers: Mayor of New Donk City Pauline, fellow monarch King Bob-omb, and Nintendo's own sport-golf crossover, Chargin' Chuck.
The roster is followed by sweeping shots of Super Rush's new courses: a sandy desert; a lava-filled monument to Bowser; a Normal Golf Course. Not new or exciting level archetypes, but visually they look great.
Speed Golf: Dash, Drive, Survive
The second half of the trailer focuses on Speed Golf. Four players tee off simultaneously, then race to finish the course before the others can get their ball in the hole (if this sounds familiar, you may have seen Divot Derby, PGA Tour 2K21's spin on Speed Golf, which was added a few months after Super Rush's announcement). Players will have to manager their character's stamina bar, which doubles as a health bar. Each character has a special dash that can propel them forward and hurt opponents who are in your way. Super Rush also borrows Mario Tennis' Super Shot, which players can use once their special meter is full. Super Shots disrupt your opponent's golf balls, giving you an additional advantage on whatever course you use it on.
Speed Golf can be played on any of Mario Tennis: Super Rush's regular courses. The trailer also introduces Battle Golf, a special Speed Golf course where all nine holes are available at once. When a player scores on a hole, they earn that hole's flag. Once a player has three flags, they win. Here, it's important to keep an eye on all opponents, lest they get comfortable scoring on an undisturbed green. The trailer only shows one Battle Golf course, but I hope multiple will be available. Speed Golf already sounds incredible, so having courses specially designed for the mode can only raise its potential.
Mario Golf: Super Rush drops on the Nintendo Switch on June 25, 2021.

An educational pioneer in Stevenage, James Wyn Lewis joined the staff of an emergency teacher training college after his demobilisation from the army in 1945. Four years later he entered the world of Secondary Modern education when it was still in it's experimental stage. In 1955 he opened a new school in a New Town- the Heathcote County Secondary Modern School, Shephall.
Although born in Hereford in 1914 Jim Lewis spent the first 27 years of his life in London. After attending Latimer Upper School he entered St Marks and St John's teacher training college in Chelsea where he took an Honours degree First Class in history. Awarded a Research Scholarship he went to King's College for a year after which he taught in junior and secondary schools until his call up in 1941. The war over he took up several more teaching positions in London before arriving in Stevenage as Headmaster of the new Heathcote School which opened with just over 120 pupils. Within three years the number had risen to 818 and there were plans for new extensions to the building to accommodate the rising numbers.
Of being headmaster of a new school in a new town Mr Lewis commented "The job is the most interesting of any I have undertaken; it is both stimulating and exciting. To build up from scratch any new school in a new community which has no setteled background or traditions is pretty hard in the early years, and in a new area such as this the school has a most important role to play, for the more stable a community the school becomes the greater its effect in helping to pull together the neighbourhood and build up a community spirit." Of his boys and girls Mr Lewis says "They are very good material, very biddable and very responsive too : you can get the best out of them" And of his staff ""Whatever success I have had here is due to their support and some pretty solid teamwork."
Married with two children of primary school age Mr Lewis is connected with the Methodist Church locally and is a member of the Rotary Club of Stevenage

Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has called a special session of the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday. Pro-tem Speaker Kalidas Kolambkar will administer oath to newly elected MLAs tomorrow.
Mumbai: Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has called a special session of the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday where a floor test will be conducted after the Pro-tem Speaker administers oath to the 288 newly-elected members, an official said on Tuesday.
The oath will be administered by newly-appointed Pro-tem Speaker Kalidas Kolambkar at the session, which will begin at 8 am.
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress unanimously elected Uddhav Thackeray as their leader and candidate for chief minister's post.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar said, "Three representatives of 'Maha Vikas Aghadi' will meet the Governor today. Swearing in ceremony to be held at Shivaji Park, Mumbai on December 1."
Kolambkar was appointed by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Tuesday evening on directions of the Supreme Court which ordered a floor test on Wednesday. "Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has called a special session of the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday. The session would begin at 8am for the oath-taking ceremony of the 288 members. Following the oath, the Pro-tem Speaker will call for a floor test," the official said.
The newly-elected members couldn't take oath even one month after the results of the Assembly polls were announced, due to political ups and downs in the state.
The state remained under President's Rule for a period of 13 days between November 12 and November 23 in the wake of no political party being able to form the government.
Earlier in the day, ordering a floor test for the Devendra Fadnavis government, the apex court asked Koshyari to appoint a Pro-tem Speaker and ensure all elected members of the House are sworn in on Wednesday itself by 5 PM.
However, the BJP-led government, which was formed based on the support of NCP leader Ajit Pawar on November 23, collapsed on Tuesday afternoon, after Pawar stepped down as deputy chief minister and Fadnavis as chief minister.
The 'Maha Vikas Aghadi' comprising the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress, on Monday submitted a letter claiming support of 162 MLAs to the Governor. Earlier in the day, Fadnavis announced that he was stepping down as the BJP lost majority in view of Ajit Pawar resigning from his post.
Senior member Kalidas Nilkanth Kolambkar was sworn in as the Protem Speaker of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhavan, Mumbai.
The Supreme Court also asked Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to appoint a Pro-tem Speaker and ensure that all elected members of the House are sworn in on Wednesday itself to avoid horse trading efforts.
The apex court also directed Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to ensure that all elected members of the house are sworn in on Wednesday itself. A bench comprising Justices N V Ramana, Ashok Bhushan and Sanjiv Khanna also said the entire proceedings have to be telecast live. Voting in the Assembly shall not be on the basis of secret ballot, it said. The Governor will also appoint a Pro-tem Speaker who will administer oath to the newly elected members.
After taking oath, Kolambkar said the first session of the new Assembly will begin tomorrow. From 8 am onwards, oath will be administered to the MLAs.

text: I was always that kid who would bug her parents "are we there yet?" on family vacations. Half of the time, I wanted us to reach our destination early because of my small bladder! Fast-forwarding to the present day, not much has changed. Many highway stops and work breaks throughout the day to get me through. In addition, my water intake has increased dramatically due to my half marathon training and staying hydrated. Therefore, as you could imagine, bathroom trips are frequent and have no set time. But, I have to say the worst time to use to bathroom for me, is in the middle of the night. To truly feel rested and stay that way through the night, I bump up my AC system so I can feel very cool and snuggle in my fluffy down comforter for a full eight hours. Therefore, when I'm feeling great, and resting on an icy cloud and my bladder wakes me up to pee, I cannot help but feel mad and sad at the same time. The floorboards make me feel like I'm walking a plank of ice from a boat that has been stationed in Antarctica for 8 months! The concept of heated flooring is extremely appealing to me and I'm sure it is for many people like me who can't stand to sleep with socks on! Getting out of bed would be a whole lot easier knowing that I would be welcomed by warmth throughout my toes, arches and heels. Let alone the bathroom tile…I would love to step out of the shower and feel a cool air and warm floor. I think the invention is awesome and I definitely need to look into having it installed.

Interview: Harry Lloyd Talks Game of Thrones & Supreme Tweeter
We chat with Harry Lloyd about his web series "Supreme Tweeter," Game of Thrones, and working with George R.R. Martin.
If you saw Harry Lloyd on the street, you probably would not immediately recognize him for his starring role in the first season of HBO's Game of Thrones. Not having actual long, flowing locks of platinum blond hair tends to do that. Yet, Lloyd continues to develop a following for his work on shows that include Manhattan, Wolf Hall, and the BBC's Robin Hood, and is getting his name out in surprising ways—including via Kim Jong-un's Twitter account…
At least that's the premise of "Supreme Tweeter," a surreal and bizarrely amusing web series that he co-created and wrote alongside Jayne Hong. In the currently three-episode series, Lloyd plays a fictional version of himself, as "Harry" grapples with casting directors demanding what kind of Twitter following he is bringing to a project, and his excessive narcissism for online gratification is only eclipsed by his disdain for the social media platform.
However, everything changes when Lloyd's first belated Twitter follower becomes Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader that apparently lurks the Internet with the nifty handle "Supreme Tweeter."
It's an absurd and very self-aware slice of humor that seems considerably risky following the very real online dust storm kicked up by North Korean hackers last year due to the release of Sony Pictures Entertainment's The Interview.
So, when we sat down with Lloyd for a phone interview last week following the release of the first episode, the Seth Rogen subject inevitably came up, as did "Supreme Tweeter's" perspective on the performing arts landscape of the 21st century. Oh and of course, Game of Thrones, which is only fitting since "A Song of Ice and Fire" creator George R.R. Martin and fellow Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams cameo in the first episode of "Supreme Tweeter." Lloyd even talks about Martin's inclusion of the words "book 10" in the series.
So, have ever been to an audition where they actually demanded to know how many Twitter followers you have?
Harry Lloyd: No, but I have been met with a similar kind of indifference before.
Can you describe that experience?
I find there are two types of auditions. There are the ones where you know straight away that they have made up their mind, and then there are the ones where you have to work quite hard.
And the ones where they've made up their mind, it's very tricky to tell if they know straight away that they want to see you again or if they know straight away that they don't want to see you again. And often, it's quite confusing. So you can walk out of an audition thinking, "That was terrible, that was rubbish." Because they were so curt and short, and uninterested, and it was only because they knew straight away that they liked you. Other times, you'll think, "That was wonderful. They were really excited and wanted to get moving fast," and it was because they knew straight away that you just looked wrong. More often than not, it's the other time where they're curious, and they're looking for something and trying to work out what that is, and those are the ones where you have to dance around a little bit.
Did you finally get on Twitter because it felt like a necessary aspect of being a modern actor?
I was always rather weary of Twitter; I was a bit self-conscious [because] I didn't know what you were going to say—I didn't know quite how to draw the line between being myself and being my own PR manager, which is why I was interested in this story when producer Jayne Hong came up with this concept.
So, I got on Twitter to experiment and to face that fear. Of course, it's really not, like all these things; [it's] not as scary when you actually involve yourself in it.
But in the web series, it's a point of contention, which is brought about in the scene between your character of "Harry Lloyd" and Maisie Williams, where the two of you are discussing the necessity for social media to be an actor. Are you as disheartened by that development in the 21st century media landscape as your character?
I think "Harry Lloyd" in the show is a much more extreme version in many respects than I am. I don't think I'm quite such a caveman as he is. [Laughs] No, I understand "Harry;" it's a very interesting time to be an actor. And I'm not the most technologically savvy person, but I am interested in it and do follow how these things change, and how the world and the industry adapt. I think it's a fascinating time to be an actor, not least because of all the different mediums that you can be an actor in now. It's no longer that the biggest thing [to do] is movies. TV shows, in some ways, have even better scripts more often than not. There are short films, there are web series; I find it really interesting.
As an actor on series like Game of Thrones and Wolf Hall, you probably find more variety in what's being offered on the small screen.
I've always been interested in variety. I've never quite decided what I love the most and what I think I'm best at. I think I'm still figuring out. Opportunities are allowing me to try my hand at writing and direct a little bit, and I still feel that I have a lot to learn in certain areas.
The other major aspect of the web series that's the nuclear elephant in the room is the presence of Kim Jong-un. Where did that idea come from?
He was part of the original premise. I think the inclusion of North Korea has less to do with the politics of North Korea and more to do with the way it's treated in the media. In some ways, North Korea is a metaphor for the insane and the dangerous getting involved in social media, and it just raises the stakes in a heightened surreal comedy, rather than just some social commentary on a guy looking at his phone.
There's something about the strangeness and the amusement, but also the danger of North Korea that we thought was an astute parallel to that and the propaganda of their social media elite. And it was all made before The Interview happened. It was only through a small tweak in editing that we referenced it slightly. We didn't really want it become about that. It was never intended to be hugely controversial or comment on North Korea in any way.
Are you worried at all about any international incidents or reprisals? A golden crown of mean tweets?
I don't think there's too much to worry about, as opposed to The Interview when these [characters] were trying to assassinate Kim Jong-un. The tone of the piece is very silly and light comedy, and very clearly about social media. I think the biggest target in the whole show is the character of "Harry" who is clearly lost and a very self-involved individual. So, he very much is the butt of the joke.
Do you think it says something about the profession of acting that this character is gratefully using Twitter and the democratization of social media to inflate [his and Kim Jong-un's] egos?
Well there's an interesting quote, and I think it's from Kim Jong-un's father, which is the fact that if you're being talked about in anyway, then you're obviously doing something right. There is that aspect today, both politically and socially, that once you are in the news or online, it does give you a moment in the spotlight where you can harness that to do something else. As soon as you are being talked about, people will listen to you. And you say at this moment, "Okay, I have been arrested, so I actually have a book coming out." That book is more likely to be launched when the two have nothing to do with each other.
So, it's an interesting exploration of the difference between success and fame. One used to have to come before the other, but now it's often reversed.

Do you see any similarities between at least the media portrayal of Kim Jong-un and Viserys Targaryen?
I feel that is something we wanted the audience to draw those kind parallels for themselves [Laughs]. They're, as you say, is the media portrayal of Kim Jong-un. He's still a man that we know very little about. I think he is much more in charge and much more self-aware than we realize.
Well, what kind of ruler do you think Viserys might have been if he ever had his own army or even had social media?
I think if Viserys had social media, he would not have a lot of followers if I have to be honest [Laughs]. And if he ever did get his army, I don't think he would have lasted very long.
You became a fan of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series [after being cast in the Game of Thrones pilot]. Has your opinion of Viserys changed at all from playing the character to reading the book? How did one inform the other?
When you read the books, you see him through is sister's eyes, so you see him as this simple, spoiled, frustrated brat who's cruel and belligerent, and obnoxious, and very unlikable. In terms of playing him, I had to move away from that to find that even though he's done terrible things, what's his point of view? Where did he come from?
As soon as I looked into more of the history of the Targaryen family and actually read the other books, I found out more and pieced together his backstory, and he became sympathetic. I understood more what motivated him, and the fear he had, and the responsibility he had, and his childishness. I mean, he never really had a parent. That changed a lot my view from reading it to playing it.
Knowing more now what you do of the family, do you find yourself when either watching the show or reading the books more invested in Daenerys Targaryen? Are you rooting for your onscreen sister?
Sure. I'll always be a Targaryen. But watching it now, more and more, I do get lost in all the different plotlines. Even with Daenerys, I feel at times where I'm completely behind her and times where I'm frustrated by her, which is I think quite good writing, because it's difficult to stay completely loyal to one character when everyone is forced to compromise.
In "Supreme Tweeter," you appear to keep in touch with George R.R. Martin (or your character does). Do you really chat with Martin or cast members?
Yes, I'm in touch with certain members of the show. I've always been good friends with Gethin Anthony, who played Renly Baratheon. And George is someone who I was in email contact with. But I got to know him a bit better last summer when I was filming in Santa Fe where he lives.
Well whose idea was it in "Supreme Tweeter" to have George tell you that he's about to reveal the ending of "book 10?"
That was I think was George—it was actually Jayne Hong's idea that I would cut him off when he's about to reveal the end of the book.
So, it was George's idea then to say "book 10?" Or has he really talked to you about possibly expanding the series from seven books to 10?
[Laughs] I think that's the kind of speculation he wants to inspire. I have no idea about his writing schedule or his plans. He's a playful man.
One interesting thing about George is that while obviously subverting high fantasy, he pulls from a wealth of history and literature. As someone who also gets to explore such things, as with your appearance in Wolf Hall, have you had conversations with George about these historical parallels?
When I was filming Wolf Hall last summer, I talked to George about it, and he was obviously very familiar with all the stories of Henry VIII and his wives, and the character that I play, [Harry] Percy. He was very well steeped in the English history, much more than I was.
I've always imagined Daenerys Targaryen to be a bit loosely based on Henry VII. Have you heard George say anything about that?
No, I haven't, actually…but I will [bring it up].
As you've moved away from Game of Thrones in recent years, have you found yourself as recognized or pigeonholed as "Harry Lloyd" in "Supreme Tweeter?" Such as does it come up from fans on the street?
I have to be honest, no they don't. I don't think anyone's ever quoted Game of Thrones at me. Although, having said that I should be careful, because maybe they will now.
What do you have planned for future installments of "Supreme Tweeter?"
To be honest, we're discussing moving forward now. We're very interested in hearing what people have to say as that was always the plan: to release something online about the online experience. We're really curious to hear people's reactions and what aspects of the show that they're interested in. I think there are so many different ways you can go from here, so I think we're really interested in hearing what people have to say.
What's the feedback been like so far?
We're gathering it all now. We've had a lot of really positive reactions, which we didn't expect so many numbers so quickly. We thought it would take a long time for people to watch it. So, we're still very much enjoying the fact that people are seeing it. We'll begin to start looking at statistics from now on, really.
What else do you have coming up beyond "Supreme Tweeter?"
I'm about to do a second season of WGN America's Manhattan. I did it last year, and [it's] back to Santa Fe this year.
Harry Lloyd, thanks for talking to me today.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
You can watch the first three episodes of "Supreme Tweeter" right here.

Minister of Labour, Colin Jordan, is asking retrenched public sector workers to maintain a positive attitude and take advantage of retraining opportunities that the Barbados Employment and Career Counselling Service is offering.
Mr. Jordan says this period of unemployment for many is a difficult one and transitioning to this new way of life requires a positive outlook.
His comments came as he addressed retrenched workers at the opening of a series of workshops by the counselling service at the Ministry of Labour, Warrens Office Complex.
He also revealed that government is looking at employment opportunities for retrenched workers outside of Barbados.

The new measure, which can be regarded as a generalization of the seminal Kendall tau correlation coefficient, is proven to satisfy a set of metric-like axioms and to be equivalent to a recently developed ranking distance function associated with Kemeny aggregation. In an effort to further unify and enhance both robust ranking methodologies, this work proves the equivalence of an additional distance and correlation-coefficient pairing in the space of non-strict incomplete rankings. These connections induce new exact optimization methodologies: a specialized branch and bound algorithm and an exact integer programming formulation. Moreover, the bridging of these complementary theories reinforces the singular suitability of the featured correlation coefficient to solve the general consensus ranking problem. The latter premise is bolstered by an accompanying set of experiments on random instances, which are generated via a herein developed sampling technique connected with the classic Mallows distribution of ranking data. Associated experiments with the branch and bound algorithm demonstrate that, as data becomes noisier, the featured correlation coefficient yields relatively fewer alternative optimal solutions and that the aggregate rankings tend to be closer to an underlying ground truth shared by a majority.

The Netherlands
Although populist parties have long occupied a viable space in Dutch politics, it is safe to argue that populism is a far cry from eroding the established trust in traditional institutions and authorities in the country.
The Netherlands—officially the Kingdom of the Netherlands—is a constitutional monarchy made up of four constituent countries located mainly in Western Europe but including several small West Indian island territories in the Caribbean.
In terms of civil liberties, the Netherlands is a free country. Dutch people enjoy a vibrant democratic system with regular and competitive multiparty elections, while a strong record of civil liberties and political rights is retained (Freedom House, 2019). In a surprise to no one, with its independent media and strong civil society actors, the country often dominates the ranks of the world's best-performing democracies. It scores highly in many categories such as personal freedom, same-sex relationships, and religious liberties. Indeed, Netherlands today is one of the most culturally liberal and LGBT-friendly countries in the world. Same-sex couples have been enjoying full adoption rights for decades. Similarly, the country often leads the way in international civil liberties and political rights rankings.
However, all these positive trends have not blunted the country's contribution to the problem of rising populism in Europe. There are currently at least seven populist political parties in the Netherlands.[1] While these parties advance strong anti-immigration and hard-Euroscepticism, they also often embrace strong anti-establishment sentiments. While they have long occupied a viable space in Dutch politics, it is safe to say that the existing populist rhetoric a far cry from eroding trust in traditional institutions and authorities across the country.
Dutch voters first met organized right-wing populism as we understand it today fairly recently—namely, when Pim Fortuyn founded his eponymous parliamentary list (Lijst Pim Fortuyn, LPF) in 2002. Fortuyn—who was assassinated in the run-up to the 2002 Dutch general elections—had been an academic and columnist. From the very beginning, the LPF was structured on a set of radical right-wing ideas—later labeled "Fortuynism"—such as Islamophobia, anti-immigration, anti-elitism, and nationalism. Throughout his political career, he and his party had employed a radical anti-immigration and Islamophobic rhetoric, believing that "a cold war" had to be fought against Islam to defeat what he defined as "an extraordinary threat" to the Western world (Kuper, 2002). He was, therefore, unsurprisingly in favor of restricting all the immigration from the Muslim-dominated countries as those newcomers were simply intolerant and incompatible with the values embraced by the Dutch society (Murray, 2017). Fortuyn is on the record as saying: "I don't hate Islam. I believe that it is a backward culture. I have seen many parts of the world. And wherever Islam rules, it's just terrible. All the hypocrisy" (De Volkskrant, 2012).
What explicitly distanced Fortuyn from classic far-right politicians was his unique promotion of some of the liberal left-leaning values, such as same-sex marriage, legalization of prostitution, euthanasia, and support for the country's liberal drug policy (Roxburgh, 2002). Fortuyn was himself openly gay. Many, therefore, rejected the classic right-wing populist label—instead, Fortuyn was cast as representing a distinctive form of populism combining selective aspects of liberalism and nationalism (Mudde, 2007).
Fortuyn was assassinated in the run-up to the 2002 general elections by an animal rights activist named Volkert van der Graaf. His assassin claimed to have committed the crime for "Dutch Muslims," adding that he could see no other option: "I hoped that I could solve it [the problem] myself" (Osborn, 2003). Following Fortuyn's assassination, his party, the LPF, made its first serious debut in the 2002 Dutch general elections, becoming the second-largest party with 17 percent of total votes and 27 seats in the House of Representatives. The LPF, however, quickly lost its emotional voters in the 2003 general election, securing only 5.6 percent of total votes and eight seats in the parliament. After losing all its remaining seats in the 2006 general election, the party executives voted to dissolve the LPF by January 1, 2008 (Dutch News, 2007).
Although Fortuyn and the LPF had failed to achieve a longstanding political success, they ended up paving the way for a second—and much stronger—populist wave in Dutch politics. In 2006, Geert Wilders—a Dutch entrepreneur, speechwriter, and conservative politician—established the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV), picking up where Fortuyn and his allies had left off. After leaving his former party—the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD)—in 2004 in protest over its position regarding Turkey's possible accession to the European Union, Wilders founded the PVV based on his radical right-wing ideas—namely, nationalist, Islamophobic, anti-immigration and hard-Euroscepticism (Vossen, 2017).
The PVV has made "stopping the Islamisation of the Netherlands" a key political discourse, vowing to ban the Qur'an and impose a tax on headscarves worn by Muslim women (BBC News, 2010). In 2008, he released a 17-minute-long film titled Fitna, featuring his views on Islam that supposedly demonstrate how the Qur'an urges Muslims to hate so-called infidels and plant seeds of hate and violence (Jyllands-Posten, 2008). Similarly, in a live TV interview in 2010, Wilders compared the Qur'an to Adolf Hitler's autobiographical manifesto, Mein Kampf (RT, 2010). As opposed to his critical stance against the Muslim-dominated countries in the Middle East, Wilders is also known with his sympathy with Israel, which he believes is the first line of defense: "The fight against Israel is not territorial, and hence Israel is only the first line of defense for the West. Now it's Israel, but we are next. That's why beyond solidarity, it is in Europe's interest to stand by Israel" (Liphshiz, 2009).
In the first election in which it participated, in 2006, the PVV secured 5.9 percent of the total vote and nine seats in the parliament. Thanks to Wilders' charisma and the PVV's populist appeal to the masses, the party increased its share of the vote to 15.4 percent in the 2010 election. Although it suffered from a relative setback in the 2012 election, the PVV eventually became the second-largest party after the 2017 election with 13.1 percent of the votes and managed to maintain most of its voter base in the 2021 election.
In addition to its electoral success, the party has also had a disproportionate effect on the country's politics. After the 2010 election, the PVV agreed to provide parliamentary support to the Christian Democrat–VDD coalition government without joining the executive. The coalition collapsed in 2012 when the PVV leadership refused to support budget cuts proposed as part of EU requirements.
Another populist party worthy of mention in the Netherlands is Thierry Baudet's Forum for Democracy (Forum voor Democratie, FvD). Originally founded as a think tank in 2016, the FvD has turned into a right-wing Eurosceptic political party and secured 1.8 percent of total votes and two seats in 2017 when it competed in national elections for the first time. Its hard-core Eurosceptic, populist, and nationalist rhetoric saw its supporter base grow significantly in under two years, reaching nearly 31,000 by February 2019 (Mebius, 2019). Perhaps unsurprisingly, the party reached an all-time high in the 2021 general election, securing 5 percent of the vote share and eight seats in the House of Representatives. In addition to national electoral success, the FvD also had several breakthroughs at the local levels. The party won three seats in the Amsterdam city council in 2018 and secured a total of 86 seats in the 2019 provincial elections across the Netherlands.

Broken: Airline magazine Route 66 article image
I was on an international flight from China to San Francisco last May and was flipping through the airline's in-flight magazine.
The magazine contained a little article on Route 66 and I couldn't help laughing when I saw that they had placed Los Angeles in Alaska on the map instead of in California!
The magazine editors clearly need a geography lesson.
Well, with the San Andreas Fault, that's where LA is headed. I guess they are thinking ahead—only a few million years ahead.
Yeah, um, Chicago is next to Lake Michigan actually.
I think they drew the whole thing with their eyes closed.
The Great Lakes are being hidden under their overly-confident Chicago sign. I wonder if Alex actually made it to San Francisco, or if they just dropped him off in Mexico and called it close enough?!
DISCLAIMER: The map presented is an artistic interpretation of a real map. Due to stylistic preferences and/or ignorance of the artist, cities and other landmarks may not necessarily be depicted where they are actually located. This map is not to be used for actual navigational purposes.
and on top of all that it looks like a drawing instead of a real map so its probably out of whack anyway
I think most people know that the map is a drawing and that it is not meant to be used as an acutally navagational tool.
What's broken is that the artist placed Las Angeles nearly 3000 miles away from where it actually is.
That's practically the equivalent of placing the little LA flag in NY and drawing a line to Chicago from there as if that was representing route 66 and the article.
They have also negelected to draw in Vancouver Island!!! I know it's sinking(slowly) but I didn't think it had gone that far down!! LOL.
Besides the fact that Alaska looks a lot different then california.. Hmm maybe I should take that to the travel agent and say Hey, I want to travel to LA Just for the Halibut and everything else that is in Alaska compared to LA...seems I can fly to LA for about half the price of flying to Alaska.
They did put Chicago in Manitoba (or at least on the Ontario/Manitoba border). That large inlet is Hudson Bay, and Chicago is well south of there. So are the Great Lakes - btw - they aren't hiding under the Chicago sign. Mind you, given the location of Los Angeles it could equally be the Florida everglades under there.
As a cartographer I know I'm biased, but this is the most broken thing I've seen on this site! Fantastic stuff.
Uhh...Where is the Canadian side of the great lakes? And How stupid do you have to be to think a hot desert city is in a barren, cold, mountain?

Bloglines Could Be Ask Jeeves' My Yahoo
Bloglines, acquired by Ask Jeeves roughly a fortnight before it was itself acquired by IAC, is doing some interesting stuff. It recently introduced a package tracking capability and it intends to add weather, stocks and other personalized information (via RSS feeds). It already has news.
Watch it morph into a MyYahoo!-like application. If thoughtfully integrated with Jeeves' search (and by extension the rest of the IAC "network"), it could be the sticky anchor (how's that for a mixed metaphor?) for the entire system.
I think that MyYahoo! is the model for "personalization" for the masses and Bloglines could emulate that functionality/ease of use. Plus the blogging component offers the potential to develop considerable user-generated content (ala Yahoo! 360).
So rather than Jeeves being the front door, Bloglines could be an alternate way into the content, search results, verticals and ads in the IAC portfolio. We'll see.

ArcelorMittal heads to court over legitimacy of Essar Steel bid by Numetal
ArcelorMittal has reasons to question the eligibility of the VTB-led Numetal group as under India's bankruptcy laws, owners of insolvent firms aren't eligible to bid for assets
Mumbai: Billionaire Lakshmi Mittal's ArcelorMittal will on Wednesday challenge in court the legitimacy of a bid for Essar Steel India Ltd. by a group led by Russia's VTB Capital, intensifying the battle for the biggest industry asset yet to be sold under a new bankruptcy law.
Mittal's steelmaker has several reasons to question the eligibility of the VTB-led Numetal Ltd. group, including that a company controlled by the family of the founder of Essar Steel was part of the consortium at the time of an initial round of bidding, Brian Aranha, an executive president at ArcelorMittal, said in an interview in Mumbai on Tuesday. Under India's bankruptcy laws, owners of insolvent firms aren't eligible to bid for assets. The case will be heard in the company court in Ahmedabad.
Numetal's bids remain eligible and the company has approached the court to reinforce its suitability, while at the same time questioning the bid by Mittal's company, a Numetal spokesman said in a text message late Tuesday. He didn't elaborate on the reasons for eligibility but said VTB Capital UK is not affected by sanctions by US and the European Union on Russia.
Aurora Enterprises — a part of the Numetal-led consortium that's backed by the son of one of Essar's founders — has since been bought out of the bidding group by India's No. 1 producer of the alloy JSW Steel Ltd., according to people familiar with the matter.
Essar lenders said to reopen bidding for $6 billion steelmaker
Steelmakers are seeking to expand in India, set to be the second-largest producer this year, as economic growth drives demand and producers scale up capacity. ArcelorMittal, based in Luxembourg, and Japan's Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp. bid for the 10 million metric ton-a-year Essar plant in the latest round on Monday. Billionaire Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Ltd. also made an offer, said people familiar with the matter.
"It's more straightforward to acquire an underperforming asset and to work to improve its performance than to build something new, which would also take a long time before it would be operating," Aranha said. "Land acquisition in India is very difficult."
'Very confident'
The plan to acquire Essar Steel remains ArcelorMittal's "Plan A and Plan B" for India, Aranha said, where Mittal has long-term plans to raise Essar's capacity to 15 million to 20 million tons.
Advisers to the resolution professional had recommended ArcelorMittal be considered ineligible because it held a stake in Uttam Galva Steels Ltd., which is classified as a delinquent borrower, when it made its offer for Essar Steel, people with knowledge said February. ArcelorMittal had sold the shares prior to the bid and was a "passive shareholder" with no management role, Aranha said.
"We are very confident our bid is valid although it's clear one of the other consortia has a strategy of trying to convince people otherwise," Aranha said. "Perhaps this is because they know that they can't compete with us when it comes to industrial track record." Bloomberg

AMARILLO, TX – In a recent Medtrade Monday article, I discussed how a DME supplier-funded telehealth arrangement runs the risk of violating the Medicare anti-kickback statute (AKS) which prohibits a DME supplier from giving anything of value to a person or entity in exchange for referring (or arranging for the referral of) patients covered by a government health care program. The AKS is a criminal statute.
With a standard telehealth arrangement, the telehealth company (e.g., TelaDoc) contracts with physicians to provide telehealth encounters with patients enrolled with the telehealth company. The physicians have their own practices. In addition to seeing their own patients in their offices, the physicians have telehealth encounters with patients generated by the telehealth company. The telehealth company pays the physicians for the patient encounters. The telehealth company receives its money from enrolled patients, employers, and health plans. In the standard arrangement, the telehealth company does not receive money from the DME suppliers, pharmacies, labs, and home health agencies that fill order the orders issued by the telehealth physicians.
Over the last 12 months, a number of supplier-funded telehealth arrangements have sprung up. These arrangements have resulted from the intersection of several factors:
• (A) Medicare pays well for back, ankle and knee braces;
• (B) braces are not covered by competitive bidding;
• (C) a large percentage of the elderly suffer back, knee and/or ankle pain;
• (D) lead generation companies have the capacity to generate thousands of "leads" for DME suppliers that specialize in providing braces;
• (E) while the leads are interested in receiving the braces, they are not particularly interested in driving to their local physicians' offices to obtain an order; and so;
• (F) a telehealth arrangement is created that is funded by the brace suppliers.
Here is how it works:
• (A) the brace supplier pays money to the lead generation company;
• (B) the lead generation company pays some of the money to the telehealth company (and retains the balance);
• (C) the telehealth company pays some of the money to the telehealth physician (and retains the balance);
• (D) the telehealth physician has the virtual encounter with the patient and the physician issues an order for the brace;
• (E) the order goes to the brace supplier; and
• (F) the brace supplier provides the brace and gets paid by Medicare. The sole source of the telehealth company's income is the brace supplier; the telehealth company is not receiving money from patients, employers and health plans. At the end of the day, the brace supplier is paying the ordering physician. Essentially, this arrangement is the same as if ABC Medical Equipment (on Main Street) sends a patient to Dr. Jones (on Elm Street), Dr. Jones visits with the patient and sends the order to ABC, and ABC pays Dr. Jones for his office visit with the patient. No one would dispute that the ABC – Dr. Jones arrangement is a kickback.
A recent Tennessee case sends a shot across the bow to supplier-funded telehealth arrangements. OPKO Health, Inc. and its owner, Jonathan Oppenheimer, agreed to pay $9.35 million to settle a whistleblower case in which the whistleblower alleged that, in violation of the AKS, the defendants helped fund referring physicians' electronic health records systems.
According to the OIG: "This laboratory traded physicians free computer software for patient referrals. Such quid pro quo arrangements are kickbacks that stifle competition and steer business to the company offering the inducements." According to the lawsuit, between June 2007 and January 2015, the defendants helped physicians purchase equipment from electronic health records systems vendors, but acted outside of the safe harbors to the AKS, and outside of the exceptions to Stark, that would have provided legal protection.
The Tennessee case is similar to the supplier-funded telehealth arrangements. In the Tennessee case, the lab (that was receiving orders from the physicians) was underwriting the physicians' expenses by funding their electronic health records systems. In the supplier-funded telehealth arrangement, the DME supplier (that is receiving orders from the telehealth physicians) is directly or indirectly paying the physicians for the patient encounters.

Oxygen: When do the 36 Months Start Over?
Presented by: Lisa K. Smith, Esq., Brown & Fortunato, P.C.
Monday, June 6, 2016
2:30-4:00 p.m. EASTERN TIME
When a DME supplier provides an oxygen concentrator to a Medicare beneficiary, Medicare will pay the supplier for the first 36 months and then the supplier will be obligated to service the beneficiary's oxygen needs, for very little compensation, for the next 24 months. Occasions may arise when the beneficiary's continuous use of the concentrator is interrupted. This interruption may be caused by one of the following: (i) the concentrator is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair; (ii) there is an extended break in need of greater than 60 days; (iii) the supplier sells its assets to another supplier; (iv) the supplier goes out of business; (v) the supplier files bankruptcy; or (vi) the beneficiary relocates outside the supplier's service area. When one of these events occurs, and afterwards the beneficiary subsequently starts using a concentrator provided by the initial supplier or a concentrator provided by a new supplier, the question becomes: Can the 36 month rental period start over?
Register for Oxygen: When do the 36 Months Start Over? on Monday, June 6, 2016, 2:30-4:00 pm ET, with Lisa K. Smith, Esq., of Brown & Fortunato, PC.

The first half of the concert I attended on Friday night included traditional music from Scotland, an arrangement of Burmese pat waing drum tunes, a mash-up of Highland hornpipe and Balinese kotekan gestures, and compositions by Anthony Braxton. A massive global music summit? Not exactly. This was a solo bagpipes set by Matthew Welch, presented by the composers collective Wet Ink Music at the New York Quarterly Meeting House, a Quaker establishment not far from Union Square.
Welch is a one-man phenomenon: a composer trained by the likes of Braxton, Alvin Lucier and Barry Truax; the saxophone-wielding leader of a rock band called Blarvuster; and a distinguished practioner of Highland pipes. I reviewed his 2005 Tzadik CD, Dream Tigers, for Time Out New York and Weekend America (about which, see the footnote that follows this report), and listed it in my top ten classical releases last year. That the same record also landed on my TONY colleague Hank Shteamer's top ten list in the not-classical music section underscores the effect that Welch's music has: In filling a disc with pieces that are unquestionably chamber music in the conventional sense, yet somehow manage to negate the vast distance between that idiom, Celtic music and gamelan, Welch reveals our seemingly big, big world to be the intimate, interdependent place it really is -- especially in this globally wired superhighway age.
Under a blond mushroom cloud, Welch stalked the aisles of the attractively plain Quaker chapel with a set of improvised variations based on the drunken escapades of his friends -- tipsy tunes filled with happy melodies and deft ornamentation. The aforementioned Burmese numbers Welch arranged in collaboration with Burmese master drummer Kyaw Kyaw Naing. He followed with traditional Highland pipe tunes; the last, "The Battle of the Pass of Crieff," offered a hypnotic melody that intensified ever so slowly, the effect heigtened by the warm, humid air in the hall.
"Traversing Mad-hatten," a Welch original, offered frenetic arpeggios in a stream-of-consciousness flurry; "Gorgamor the Giant Gecko" was based on racing rhythmic patterns borrowed from a Balinese idiom. Welch closed the first set with a medley of two Braxton compositions for solo saxophone, Nos. 99E and 118. His rendition opened with tiny chirps and pecks spackled across a long, sustained drone, and ended with a sequence of tonal flutters, the rhythmic intensity of which increased as the pitch ascended.
Welch opened the second half of the program with a Lucier composition, Piper. An acoustical etude concerned with the sound of two open tenor drone pipes resonating as the player slowly explores the performance space, this had the effect that all of Lucier's best pieces produce: it was beautiful, magical, even elemental. The composer compels us to listen closely to details and contours, in the process revealing the alchemy of acoustics. As Welch slowly processed around the hall, on occasion minutely detuning his drones, two plain, reedy tones refracted into ghostly voices, clarinet choirs and throbbing pulsations.
The concert closed with an ensemble piece, Viola, a tribute to artist Bill Viola composed by Alex Mincek and performed by Welch with the Wet Ink Ensemble. The glowering overtones and stabbing riffs of Mincek's lengthy, episodic postmodern concerto grosso proposed a sort of common ground between Morton Feldman's glacial gestures and the amplified swarms of Glenn Branca and Sonic Youth. The core ensemble positioned Mincek's bass clarinet and tenor saxophone and Erin Lesser's flute in opposition to Matthew Hough's electric guitar and Ian Antonio's drumset (especially a gloriously trashy Chinese cymbal any drummer would envy), with Jeff Snyder providing electronic textures. For a long central stretch, these players were engulfed in teeming harmonic clouds provided by Welch's pipes, two harmonica players and the accordion of Eric Wubbels. At several points, the piece abruptly shuddered from near-silence to cacophonous rumble; even at its gnarliest and most confrontational, the overall effect was intoxicating.
(As for Weekend America, I must sadly report that the program has indefinitely suspended its CD reviews. And that's a shame: Talking about classical music for a non-specialist audience can be a challenge, but in my reviews for that show, I always knew that the musical excerpts would state a composer or performer's case more eloquently than anything I might say.)

The Beijing Chess Team was met with a checkmate during the first international chess game held at Jefferson earlier this month.
The team consisted of eight members of varied ages who had traveled halfway around the world in order to compete against the TJ Chess team on Feb. 15.
The Jefferson team won 8-0 and received a $200 donation to the Chess Club fund. Chess team captains, sophomore Jeevan Karamsetty and senior Kun Liu, as well as Chess club sponsor, Computer Systems lab director Peter Gabor, organized the event.
"It was very nice to have an international group come by and play. It was a really friendly competition," Gabor said.
The competition also had a surprise visit by Principal Evan Glazer, who played against one of the members of the Beijing chess team.
"I remember Dr. Glazer saying that he hadn't play chess in so long that he could only play a five-year-old," Gabor said. "Then came the 5-year-old from the Beijing team."

When most of us think about a cardboard box, we think about the stereotypical, brown, square or rectangular box. But did you know there are a lot of unique types of moving boxes, each with a unique use and purpose? Here's some out of the ordinary boxes!
Hanging clothes boxes.
These boxes tend to be relatively tall, generally four to five feet in height. From the outside they look pretty ordinary, albeit a bit larger than normal. But, when you open the box, you'll find a single metal bar going across the inside of the box. The purpose of the box, and the metal bar inside, is to allow you to store and transport hanging clothes! The metal bar lets you to hang clothes up inside the box, and the tall height ensures that they don't drag on the floor of the box, causing wrinkles or damage. These boxes can be hugely helpful if you need extra storage for your winter clothes or if you're moving nice articles of clothing like fur coats or an old wedding dress.
Shipping tubes.
One of the biggest challenges when packing or moving is how to handle posters or large documents. Laying them flat would require a very large, and probably very skinny, box, but folding them up will leave permanent creases that could damage a poster or piece of art. That's where shipping tubes come in! Shipping tubes are just what they sound like, cardboard tubes that can range in length from a foot to six feet long! Posters, documents or art can be rolled and inserted into the tube, keeping them safe and crease-free. Shipping tubes can also be a great way to transport long, skinny items like baseball bats or fishing poles.
Handled boxes.
We've all been there, trying to carry a heavy box upstairs and suddenly feeling our grip start to slip. If you're simply carrying boxes of clothes or something similar, a dropped box may not be that big of a deal. But if you're carrying a box filled with dishes or other valuables, a dropped box can be a day-ruining experience. And that's where handled boxes come in. These boxes fold up in a way that provides a handle a the top, similar to a shopping bag. It makes the box easy to carry and gives you the peace of mind that you won't drop anything and have to deal with broken dishes!
There are plenty of other unique box designs out there and, if you need it, you can even find companies that will provide custom built cardboard boxes that will fit your unique need perfectly!

Mohale Caught in the act 'Flirting' With This Handsome Presenter:
Mohale Motaung has raised people's suspicions after he alluded that he has his eyes set on handsome presenter Tshego Koke. The soon to be divorcé might have already started looking for another lover as he cannot seem to hide his wandering eye for Tshego.
Two pictures from Tshego got Mohale all curious and asked him where is he, "Hi, uphi?" A tweep joked and said they know where he is and Mohale asked the tweep to take him to him. "Are you taking me or?" he asked and added a crying emoji.
Tshego Koke is a presenter who has recently bagged a gig with MTV for their top 5 rap joints called, "Yo MTV Raps: Uncapped" previously known as, "Yo MTV Raps Top 5."
Mohale had also sparked dating rumours with Lasizwe's rumoured bae, actor Wiseman Zitha. They spent Mohale's birthday together and he taught him a bit of Xitsonga.
Mohale had been rumoured to be getting divorced for months now but he always denies it. At some point he even flatly said he will not be getting a divorce. He told The Citizen, they he nd Somizi are just going through a rough patch.
"I am not getting a divorce. People are saying I am getting a divorce, where guys? Marriages go through some things, ups and downs. So people take what they see and they run with it. There was just a phase like any other couple, we are not getting a divorce. Things are okay."
But he had to backtrack on his words after a damning audio got leaked where he accused Somizi of abuse and having some wild sexual fantasies. "I took my keys and walked out, he took a knife. I was about to exit, so he said to me, 'if you exit… I'm going to kill us both.' So I took my keys and ran. He grabbed the knife and said 'if you walk out, I'm going to stab you.' Now I see a different person. I was sh*t scared and walked back into the house. He said 'let's talk.' He cried and we moved on," said Mohale in the audio.
Somizi lost out on gig including his Idols SA and Metro FM and had to see how he makes his money. He, on the other hand bagged his very first radio gig with Opulence Radio and said he had been waiting for this moment. He joined influencer and social media content creator Pamela Mtanga. He thanked Relebogile Maboja for shadowing her. "I've spent months training and today it finally pays off. A special shoutout to @relebogile who used to allow me to shadow her radio talk shows and learn so much."
Mohale hosts the breakfast team weekly from from 6-9 AM.
The actor was on a vacation at Mdluli Safari Lodge in Kruger National Park where he had the time of his life.
It has not been all struggles with Somizi though as he too bagged a presenting gig with Moja Love. According to Daily Sun sources, Somizi Mhlongo has started filming every day on the channel.
"He is on set everyday shooting and having a great time but it is intense. He will be shooting almost every day for the next three weeks," said Daily Sun sources.

We consider storage loading problems where items with uncertain weights have to be loaded into a storage area, taking into account stacking and payload constraints. Following the robust optimization paradigm, we propose strict and adjustable optimization models for finite and interval-based uncertainties. To solve these problems, exact decomposition and heuristic solution algorithms are developed. For strict robustness, we also propose a compact formulation based on a characterization of worst-case scenarios. Computational results for randomly generated data with up to 300 items are presented showing that the robustness concepts have different potential depending on the type of data being used.

I worked on using QtCreator IDE for LibreOffice : https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/15804
Thanks to Arnaud who finalized the gerrit validation, and endlessly motivated me to develop for LibreOffice.
Here is an album of screenshots (similar to Bjoern's video with KDevelop) :
1 : Opening QtCreator with 'sw' project file
2 : In the locator (ctrl+k), you can search classes
3 : After choosing « SwInsertBookmarDlg » in locator
4 : There are others way to view code, here is the Class View (but I still don't know how to open the ClassView on a specific class from the source code panel)
5 : Here are the predefined build settings
6 : To debug, just add a breakpoint in the code
7 : Then start the debugger (the green triangle with a bug) : QtCreator launches LibreOffice
8 : As soon as the breakpoint is reached, QtCreator is back to front with all graphical tools to debug
Tip : the default behavior for the green triangle buttons (run /debug) is to execute 'make' before 'run' or 'debug'. But there are menus items 'run without deploy' and 'debug without deploy' that allows to run/debug last compiled version if you have already modified source code.

Press Release of the fifth-term extension of a unilateral ceasefire by
Three Brotherhood Alliance
3 May 2020
Despite the constantly extension of unilateral ceasefire by Our Three Brotherhood Alliance of the Kokang (MNTJP/MNDAA), the Ta'ang (PSLF/TNLA) and the Arakan (ULA/AA), Myanmar Army has not halted their sea-land-air joint operations against the Arakan Army but conducted the most intensified offensive assaults than ever, based on racial hatred, targeting civilians of Arakan. As a result, heavy fighting is occurring on a daily basis to date.
In a same way, the government of Myanmar and the Myanmar Army have been pressuring and attacking us from every angle in order for our Three Brotherhood Alliance to face military and political crises in addition to sporadic fighting in the Ta'ang and the Kokang regions. Therefore, mutual trust is deteriorating and a potential flame of civil war recurrence can be seen after receding peace process in Myanmar.
The unilateral ceasefire our Three Brotherhood Alliance has declared for several times is to effectively carry out practical tasks and to facilitate the peace building process between our organizations and the government of Myanmar and its military. Similarly, we have now extended a...

Meet Chinju Aswathi, The First Intersex Candidate Contesting In The Lok Sabha Elections
When 25-year-old Chinju Aswathi filed his nomination as an independent candidate from Ernakulam Constituency on Thursday for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections, he created history by becoming the first intersex candidate to contest the General Elections.
Chinju, a resident of Angamaly, was assigned female gender at birth and was named Aswathi Rajappan. Only after living as a woman for 22 years, Chinju came out as an intersex.
Chinju Aswathi/ Facebook
For Chinju, who is a Bsc Electronics graduate from IHRD College Thodupuzha, the reasons for him to contest the election is to bring a positive change in the society for people from his community.
While Chinju's chances against political heavyweights like Union Minister and BJP candidate Alphons Kannanthanam, Congress's Hiby Eden and CPIM's P Rajeev may be bleak, the fact that he is contesting the election in itself is a welcome step.
Chinju may be the first intersex candidate to contest in Lok Sabha election, he is not the first to fight an election from the community. Gopi Shankar, an LGBTQ activist from Tamil Nadu was the first openly intersex candidate in the history of India. He contested from Madurai the in Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election, 2016.
Intersex is those born with any of several variations in sexual characteristics, including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals. Unlike transgenders who are born with typical male or female anatomies but feel as though they've been born into the "wrong body", intersex have anatomy that is not considered typically male or female.
Unlike transgenders, intersex doesn't have an internal experience of gender identity and in most of the cases, they are identified by doctors or parents notice something unusual about their bodies.

TORONTO — "We are making steady progress in our battle against this deadly virus, but we are not out of the woods by a long shot. It is absolutely necessary to extend these emergency orders to continue keeping all Ontarians safe and healthy," said Premier Doug Ford. "Every effort made by each of us to stay home, practise physical distancing and wash your hands has been, and will continue to be, the key to stopping the spread of this virus."
On the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health, the Ontario government is extending all emergency orders that have been put in place to-date under s.7.0.2 (4) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act until May 6, 2020. This extension will help protect the health and well-being of people across the province and stop the spread of COVID-19. This Emergency Order extension includes the closure of outdoor amenities in parks and recreational areas, non-essential workplaces, public places and bars and restaurants, along with restrictions on social gatherings and limiting staff from working in more than one retirement home or long-term care home. In addition, the government has introduced a new measure to allow mental health and addictions agencies to redeploy staff within different locations or between programs, and employ extra part-time staff, temporary staff or contractors in order to ensure people continue receiving the high-quality care they expect and deserve during the COVID-19 outbreak. Agencies would be required to provide appropriate training and education to achieve the purposes of a redeployment plan. The following emergency orders have been extended until May 6, 2020:
