Wedding speeches are some of the determinant factors that set the mood in weddings. The father of the groom wedding speech serves to welcome the bride into the family. This speech, which tends to be forgotten in most wedding ceremonies, is important since it serves to include the bride into the groom's family. The father of the groom wedding speech is important since it also serves to give advice to the groom on the intricacies of married life. Thus, for this reason the speech should have an informative yet entertaining tone to it to ensure that advice is carried fourth. The father of the groom should ensure that the speech contains the right balance of humor and emotion this makes the recipients relate to the father of the groom and the importance of the speech to the event.
When writing a father of the groom wedding speech, one should maintain a short wedding speech. However, brevity does not mean cutting out all the important details in the speech. This just ensures that these details are delivered in a concise but efficient manner. The father of the groom wedding speech should also serve to welcome the invited guests to the ceremony. This speech is also used by the father of the groom to introduce the groom to the guests on a personal level. Thus, the gathering is able to relate to the groom. Moreover, depicting the groom in a light-hearted and humorous tone helps make the groom relatable. This speech could also be utilized to recount the history of the groom concisely, thus acting as a brief introduction of the groom. For instance, childhood stories could act as a reference point. This also provides the father of the groom a nice opportunity to insert humor to the speech.
From an overall perspective, the father of the groom wedding speech serves as a chance to welcome the bride into his family. Thus, it is important to add emotion to the speech so to ensure that the bride feels received. Maintaining relevance in the father of the groom wedding speech makes certain that the invited guests remain focused on the speech. One should also maintain a level of light-heartedness to the father of the groom wedding speech and in extension wedding ceremony speeches. This serves to induce participation from the guests. A brief wedding speech example for a father of the groom wedding speech could be:
"…Susan, for the last few years I have taken pleasure in getting to know you. I am sure that James understands how utterly fortunate he is to have met you. I take this opportunity to welcome you to the family and to tell you that we are happy to have you and to include you as one of us. We also welcome your family to the family and thank them for availing themselves to celebrate and rejoice with us. As you both begin a new life together it is important to do it in mutual respect of each other…"
It is also important for the father of the groom to impart advice in his father of the groom wedding speech. Thus, this makes certain that the speech culminates on a high note.

Genetic data often show patterns that are broadly consistent with "isolation by distance" models: that is, similarity of individuals tends to decay with geographic distance. But, for various reasons, this decay may occur more quickly in some regions than others: for example, barriers to migration, such as mountains or oceans, could cause decay of similarity to occur more quickly. Here we consider an attempt to infer the presence or absence of such barriers, or more generally to infer and visualise variation in effective migration rates across space, using coalescent-based models. This is joint work with Desislava Petkova and John Novembre

According to reports exclusive to Radar.ng, Linda and her lover have been engaged since last year, and are set to become man and wife later this year. According to the website, a close source had this to say:
"She has been keeping her relationship with the guy low key. He proposed last year and they are expected to get married this year but not sure when. The wine carrying ceremony will be taking place at the mansion she built for her father in the village. I don't really know the guy but I heard he is into real estate.. one of those silent money types. They have been meeting at his place for a while."
It could be recalled that Linda Ikeji courted a bit of controversy, when she was spotted with what was mistaken for an engagement ring while announcing her Vlog in November, 2015.
See Photo here:
Radar.ng further insinuated that Linda's Banana Island mansion might be up for sale. She is "selling the estate and planning to re-invest the money. She's in love doesn't means she's silly haba."
Congratulations might be in order soon.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A former textile factory in the Frankford section of Philadelphia is ready for its second act. The "Globe Dye Works" on Worth Street, just off Torresdale Avenue, is being transformed.
A group of partners paid $675,000 for the block-long structure, comprised of 11 buildings, in 2008 from the Greenwood family that served the yarn dyeing and textile trades from 1865 until it closed in 2005.
"We've stabilized a building that otherwise would have been a hulking, vacant, mess of a building," said developer Pete Kelly.
Now appraised at nearly $2-million, Kelly says the 1.7 acre campus serves as a versatile workspace for 35 tenants, including fabricators, artists, and artisans.
Ten of the units are residential, where some tenants found love in the air.
"They met, they fell in love, they got married and had a kid, and they still live at Globe," Kelly said. "It's been an evolutionary thing."
State Senator Christine Tartaglione and State Representative Jason Dawkins visited with a gift, a $1 million state grant for the event space they're building at Globe. Senator Tartaglione calls it "a prime example of the great, often hidden potential that exists in many of Philadelphia's older, underused industrial properties."

German speed merchant Brabus has created a set of Brabus A-Class upgrades for the latest hatch from Mercedes-Benz.
Click here to see our Brabus highlights gallery.
Visual appeal
The Brabus A-Class upgrades include an aerodynamic package. It starts with a two-piece front spoiler with raised sides. The latter are functional as they help reduce front-axle lift at high speeds.
An aerofoil on the roof balances out the front downforce, and adds some much-needed aggro to the A-Class' dour rear. A faux diffuser has been bolted onto the rear bumper. Twin exhaust tips are finished in stainless/carbon to set them apart. A stainless steel sports exhaust system with actively controlled exhaust flaps can be fitted for a variety of engine noise options.
Owners can choose their desired wheel size, Brabus offers 17-, 18-, 19- and 20-inch alloys, to finish off the appearance of their A-Class.
More power
The Brabus A-Class upgrades offer a PowerXtra B 25 S performance kit. This kit has been developed for the four-cylinder turbo engine of the A250. It increases power by 34 kW and torque by 80 N.m. To achieve these figures Brabus adds larger ducting to the air box, and a Brabus PowerXtra piggyback ECU module. The additional unit has remapped injection, ignition and boost pressure control.
Total power is now up to 199 kW and 430 N.m. Brabus claims a sprint time of just 5,9 seconds from zero to 100 km/h. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.
Click here to read our Mercedes-Benz A250 Sport driving impression.
The Brabus A-Class upgrades aren't limited to the exterior stainless-steel scuff plates with backlit Brabus logos, aluminium pedals and high-quality velour floor mats with the Brabus logo are all on the options list. Owners can also specify a selection of bespoke leather and Alcantara finishes for the interior trim.

The ceremony was held today at the Ministry of Education on Brickdam.
Minister of Education, Nicolette Henry, described the activity as a good example of teamwork between government and the private sector. This, she said, is pivotal for the development of the education sector.
"We know that in the case of education we have to have all onboard and it takes more than a village to raise a child. It takes the effort of all of us here to work towards the development of education."
The Education Minister lauded the sacrifice and hard work of the parents which she said was instrumental in their children's success. Minister Henry also encouraged the students to continue to strive for excellence as they continue their academic journey.
Chief Education Officer (CEO), Marcel Hutson echoed similar sentiments adding that they should render their services in Guyana to contribute to its development. The CEO noted that the country has already suffered from a severe brain drain which robbed it of its most useful resources.
"So, we want to recognise you as Guyanese and students who are capable and who have the capacity to transform the landscape of this country. So, we trust that as you go on to secondary and tertiary education and you continue to gather information you will remain in Guyana and help to move this country forward,"
Huston lauded Ansa McAl for their gesture and called on other stakeholders to come onboard with the ministry as they work to advance the education sector.
Brand Manager at Ansa McAl, Errol Nelson said the company is "ready and willing to support the education sector," and this gesture not only represents the company's corporate social responsibility but its belief in youths as the future generation.
"We are always ready to partner with the Ministry of Education, to promote education and Ansa McAl prides itself on supporting the development of youths and equally so rewarding the efforts of outstanding performers. Our company recognises that our responsibility is to engage and enrich the community we serve," Nelson said.
Ansa McAl is one of the largest distribution companies in Guyana and will soon launch several youth-related initiatives.

Facts and Figures Incidence of Cervical Cancer In Blackpool each year there are approximately 12 new cases of cervical cancer identified. This is not significantly higher than the incidence rate for the north west or England as a whole. Mortality from Cervical Cancer Each year in Blackpool there are approximately 5 deaths due to cervical cancer. This is significantly higher than the mortality rate for the north west and also England as a whole. Cervical Cancer Screening The NHS administers a national cancer screening programme aimed at detecting early symptoms of cervical cancer. Cervical cancer screening is included as a local authority level indicator within the Public Health Outcome Framework. The definition of this cervical cancer screening coverage measure is, the proportion of women in the resident population eligible for cervical screening who were screened adequately within the previous 3.5 years or 5.5 years, according to age (3.5 years for women aged 25-49 and 5.5 years for women aged 50-64). Blackpool achieved a screening coverage rate of 68.5% in 2018. Figure 1 illustrates that eligible women living in Blackpool are significantly less likely to be screened for cervical cancer than the north west region or England as a whole.

Book Reviews
The following excerpts are from a book review by Don Getz, University of Calgary, appearing in the journal Event Management (2000), Vol. 6, pp. 205-206:
This book is a significant and unique addition to the event literature, both in terms of its research base and the Scandinavian perspective. It is a compilation of material, basically from Sweden and to a lesser extent Norway, that demonstrates the strength of event research in that part of the world. The contributing Scandinavians are drawing from traditional disciplinary approaches including economics, geography, other social sciences, and tourism, and are not from departments that have event management programs.
It is difficult to see this book being used as a text in event management programs, or outside Scandinavia, but it has real value in advancing theory and methods of event evaluation. It belongs in every tourism and event library.
The following excerpts are from a book review by Hubert B. Van Hoof, Northern Arizona University, appearing in the Journal of Travel Research (2001, August), Vol. 40, p. 117:
The study of the various impacts of events has seen a tremendous growth over the past two decades.
Evaluation of Events: Scandinavian Experiences, which is a result of this trend, emphasizes "the importance of systematically evaluating the various impacts of events, as an adjunct to the planning and policy development activities of public and private sector organizations" (p. 2). The reason it primarily looks at Scandinavian events is twofold. First, there is a lack of books that look at events from a European perspective (most existing books offer U.S. or Australian perspectives). Second, it is the result of a 4-year research program into the economics of events conducted by the Stockholm School of Economics and sponsored by the city of Stockholm. With the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics in their own backyard, many of the contributing researchers in Scandinavia had a mega-event to sink their teeth into.
The editor has succeeded very well in bringing together scholars from various disciplines to present their views on event impacts, and each chapter offers a nice combination of theory and practical application. This is a book that can be recommended to anyone interested in the topic, and it will be of definite interest to those looking for different ways in which events and their impacts can be analyzed.

Just as kids will often catch colds from classmates, dogs can become sick from other animals boarded at the same kennel. Kennel cough is an infectious respiratory disease caused by the combination of several viruses and bacteria. It affects a dog's upper airway, causing laryngitis and a hacking, productive cough. Antibiotics may help, but they will not cure the infection until it has run its course of three to four weeks.
Most puppies get immunized against kennel cough, but the vaccine doesn't always protect against newer versions of the disease. So choose a kennel carefully. Make sure it has low moisture in the air and good ventilation. Spending the extra time can help both you and your dog breathe a little easier.

Hey T, who did Dink sell Active Duty to?
It is not even close to the same Site anymore. It's really a shame that the new owners couldn't carry on what Dink put together there. Overnight the videos became routine, mundane and just like a million other sites on the Web. It looks a lot like Broke Straight Boys now, or College Dudes. I remember when College Dudes was called collegedudes247 and they had such excellent looking guys. On par with Sean Cody almost. After BSB bought it, it became just another BSB extension. That's exactly what Active Duty looks like now.
So who did buy it?
And speaking about BSB, have you heard any scuttlebutt about Paul Canon & Damien Kyle leaving there? I saw the video where Damien, very angry, walked out with Paul behind him. That was such a fucked-up bullshit move on the owner's part. When my current sub runs out there, I'll never give them another dime of my money. They had a perfect chance to do something cool, something different, and they blew it badly. Those 2 guys where by far the best thing they had going for them. And they kicked their asses to the curb because they fell in love with each other. "It's called Broke STRAIGHT Boys, we can't have any gay guys here." Well fuck them. I've noticed that they even took both Paul & Damien off of the "Most Popular" list of their models. Hell, they still have tons of guys on that list that have not worked for them for years. It's just spite. Those fucking assholes. I've gotten a hold of a couple of videos that Paul & Damien have made together on their own since. Very unpolished stuff, but still, it's Paul & Damien looking as hot as ever. A little snip of one of those is that short clip I posted in "Scotty's Room" with the heading "You don't even want to know." But back to my original question here, any word on those guys getting picked up my any other studios or doing something on their own?

DoD News, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 2014 – Defense Undersecretary for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Frank Kendall presented the coveted 2014 Eugene G. Fubini Award to longtime Defense Science Board member Robert Stein in a Pentagon ceremony today.
Since 1996, the Fubini Award has recognized an individual from the private sector who made highly significant advisory contributions to the Defense Department over a sustained period of time, Pentagon officials said.
Stein, of Boston, said he was surprised and humbled when he learned he would receive the Fubini Award, noting that he knew award namesake Gene Fubini and many awardees.
"It's really humbling to me to be associated with that crowd of people," Stein said of the honor.
Stein retired from Raytheon Co. in 2000, and now serves as an adviser for Lincoln Laboratories. He also is a previous member of the U.S. Missile Defense Agency Advisory Committee.
Under Raytheon, Stein developed advanced systems and concepts for the company's existing and future government product lines – including modern missiles, radar, electro-optical sensors, integrated systems and associated technologies.
Awardee Had Major Security Impacts
As a key member of many DoD studies, Stein's advisory work had major impact in defining future national security systems, technology and policy directions.
Affiliated with DSB studies for 25 years, Stein was part of a team that defined advanced air-directed surface-to-air missile architecture concepts.
His system analysis and recommendations influenced the development of the Joint Land-Attack Elevated Netted Sensor program, which is now a part of several new programs for wide-area defense against low-flying targets, including the Enhanced Regional Surveillance Architecture program for the defense of the National Capital Region, officials said.
Work Integral to DARPA
As a former member of the DSB task force on investment strategy for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in 1999, Stein was a key figure in recommending that DARPA invest in affordable standoff precision-target engagement systems. That effort also led to related DARPA programs and other task force recommendations that greatly influenced the DARPA system and technology investment portfolio, officials noted.
Stein also served as co-chair of the DSB task force on improvised explosive devices in 2006, where he led a methodical effects-chain analysis of several IED approaches, and highlighted the need for improved intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems to detect new IED-related signatures.
The task force later influenced areas of emphasis for the Joint IED Defeat Organization, officials added.
Stein was co-chair of an extended DSB Summer Study on Electronic Warfare in 2013, a study in which he assembled a membership that included much of the top electronic warfare talent from across the nation.
The study highlighted areas that were clear near-term needs for enhancing U.S. electronic attack and electronic protection systems. The study also recommended organizational structures to better lead the development of new electronic warfare systems in a more rapid and effective way, officials said.
Served as Missile Defense Adviser
Stein additionally supported activities across DoD for the Mitre Corp., and the Missile Defense Agency.
He has been a principal speaker, panel member and session chairman at numerous national, European and Asian symposia on air and missile defense, the impact of advanced technology on the evolving security environment, the interplay between defense and commercial technology, the military use of space and the role of system engineering and operations analysis in support of military programs, officials said.
Of Stein's many accomplishments in the defense arena, it is his affiliation with DSB of which he says he is most proud.
"I have an abiding respect for [DSB]," Stein said. "It's a phenomenal institution that deals with very difficult problems that cross technology, culture, bureaucracy and all kinds of issues."

Well, today was my first day back at work. I'd say it was a difficult success.
Difficult because though I'm not having full-blown schizophrenic episodes, I still get this paranoid feeling that I'm receiving a lot of aggression from my coworkers, and there's always this sexual tension in the air that is really inappropriate for a professional workplace.
I'm still waiting to hear back from the people that find a therapist for me. I'm definitely going to start going to individual therapy. The blanket statement coping mechanisms-deep breathing, awareness of surroundings–from my health insurance provider just doesn't cut it for me. I need some deep one-on-one analysis of my problems, and I need someone to see things from my side, the side where they are real, where my coworkers really do sexually harass me, and to have someone understand what that's like and try to help me cope with it instead of blowing it off like typical schizophrenia.
I don't think I'll be writing as much poetry anymore now that I'm off leave. It's just a decision.
I AM glad I'm not sitting around the house all day anymore. There was nothing for me to do here. My mom would say, "Help us get rich by designing the computer game!" but that's not something I can do. I don't know why but I can't force myself to do it. My brain refuses, and I wish it didn't. I wish I could settle down and enjoy cognitive engagement in intellectually stimulating and creative activities. I think I'm just too simple a person for what she needs out of me.
I'm on the last chapter of the book I'm reading about lesbians. It was a "good" book that I recognized as objectively good, but that I didn't really enjoy reading. I liked it, but it was more hard work than leisure. I'm saving the last chapter for a good time and I already know the next book I'm going to read. It's in the family's personal library, or from rather. Apparently it's 50 years old, first publication.
I have to go to the gym now. Gotta cut out the belly fat. It's taking so long… But I increased my dose of cardio recently so that should help.
Bye for now.
PS: I've decided that my boss is a good person and I'm going to be more communicative with him from now on. i think that can help me. I need someone to rely on.

Thinking Allowed
By Mariam Mokhtar
Ipoh is famous for its limestone hills, pomelos, groundnuts and beauties like Amber Chia, Anna Lim and Michelle Yeoh.
When Ipoh-born Sara Amelia Bernard entered the Miss Malaysia World 2013 contest, she hoped to win the coveted Miss Malaysia World 2013 title and represent Malaysia in the Miss World finals, in Bali.
In the sixteen years that have passed since this writer first met her, the pretty four-year old, with doe eyes and porcelain skin, has blossomed into a beautiful young woman.
Melia, as we used to call her, has had her dreams shattered. Following a controversial intervention by the Federal Territory Islamic Affairs Department (Jawi), she and three other Muslim girls were threatened with a fine and possible jail sentence.
Their crime? They were deemed to be insulting Muslims by entering the beauty contest and to have committed a sin. The hysteria against these four girls grew, and even after their disqualification, they were barred from attending the final of the Miss Malaysia World contest as invited guests.
Melia went to primary and secondary schools in Ipoh until she enrolled at Taylor's College in Sri Hartamas, Kuala Lumpur. She comes from a competitive family which has produced victors. Her father Bernard Radin, is a martial arts champion and has represented Malaysia in Muay Thai, Wushu and Tae Kwon-do. Melia wanted to prove that a girl from Ipoh could be successful like Michelle Yeoh, who gained worldwide success as an actress. She wanted to put Ipoh on the map and in an interview with a Malaysian daily, said that joining a beauty contest was one way to expose true Malaysian beauty to the world.
"A beauty queen is not merely a pretty face but is intelligent, cultured, well-spoken, kind hearted, warm and friendly. She uses her title to help others and participates in various charities worldwide.
"In school, I had friends of every race and had the opportunity to learn about their customs and beliefs. I also love the variety of food in Malaysia, my favourites being popiah, banana leaf (rice) and ayam masak merah!"
It was during the audition that Melia met the pageant organiser, Anna Lim who presented her with a copy of her autobiography. On reading it, Melia found that Anna was also from Ipoh and was involved in charitable works. She was impressed that after she retired from competition, Anna had gone to London to study, became a stockbroker and later opened her own interior design company.
"I dreamed of following in her footsteps… (Anna is a) true example of beauty with brains!"
Melia said that she was motivated to work with underprivileged children and the less fortunate.
"I saw it as an opportunity to promote intellectual women as well as participate in various charities worldwide and help the underprivileged."
Melia knew that as a Muslim, she would not be wearing a bikini in the swimsuit round but said that current competition rules dictate that entrants would have to dress modestly, anyway.
Ever since this controversy broke, Melia has had to cancel her Facebook account because "trolls" posed messages containing expletives and nasty comments.
"It really opened your eyes to the number of extremists out there," she said.
Melia claimed that both she and 19 year-old Wafa Johanna De Korte, had been ridiculed and criticised as they were the most vocal of the four Muslim participants.
When asked for her views, Yasmin Yusuff, who represented Malaysia at the 1978 Miss Universe pageant in Acapulco and who successfully launched her career as an actress, singer, radio presenter, event host and businesswoman, said "The pageant could be called 'Miss Malaysia Non-Malays'".
The Pengerang MP Azalina Othman Said said that the four Muslim girls shouldn't have joined the beauty race in the first place because "…it is a sensitive environment right now especially during the fasting month".
Perhaps, Azalina should be reminded that even before the fasting month, Malaysians have been subjected to an extraordinarily sensitive environment, where both non-Malays and Malays must tread on egg-shells for fear of incurring the wrath of the authorities.
Most people are not aware that a fatwa is just an opinion or guide to how one should lead one's life as a good Muslim. Only under Shia rule can a fatwa become a law, without first being enacted by parliament.
Melia is a beauty with brains. She and the other participants were not going to bare their bodies. They were prepared to dress modestly. They were going to compete on an intellectual footing with poise and an inner beauty, with the best that Malaysia and the world has to offer.
This spat is not about religious values. The girls did not insult Islam or other Muslims. The girls stood up for their individual liberties, and for that we should commend them.

This Children of Lir Silk Scarf is inspired by the wonderful Irish legend 'The Children of Lir. This is a sad story about King Lir's four children who were turned into swans by their jealous stepmother. However, there is also an uplifting life lesson to this legend as it shows a father's love of his children and how the children embraced their cursed change and brought happiness to all who heard their beautiful singing. The four swans depicted on this beautiful scarf represent each of Lir's children.
The two colours of this large silk scarf are complimentary and work remarkably well. The centre of the scarf is a striking turquoise, which gently blends into the gun metal colour of both ends. The four swans are depicted at one end of the scarf and there are lovely Celtic spirals at the other end. Both designs are in a lovely light grey contrasting very nicely with the darker gun metal.
Approx dimensions: 22 x 90″
Care Instructions: Hand wash and cool iron
As these Irish scarves are handmade and handpainted each one is an original silk and batik painting, which makes your gift completely unique. Note: please allow for screen colour and resolution differences.
This Children of Lir Silk Scarf is the perfect Irish gift for:
- Anniversary gifts (silk is the modern gift for 4th anniversary and the traditional gift for 12th anniversary)
- Mother's Day Gifts
- New Mother Gifts
- Mother of the Bride Gifts
- Birthday gifts
- Christmas gifts
- Thank you gifts
- Bon Voyage gifts
Children of Lir Silk Scarf. About the Designer, Louise Loughman
Handmade in Co Monaghan by Louise Loughman, who studied Visual Art and Textile Design. Originally Louise specialised in printed textiles, but once she discovered silk painting she never looked back and loves the way the colours flow and blend into each other on the silk. She went on to experiment with the style of batik, an ancient Indonisian craft of using hot wax as a resist to block dyes from going into certain areas of the fabric, she loves the natural fluid flow of drawing with hot wax.
Louise has become an experienced batik artist, painting on silk. Each of her scarves is a handcrafted original piece inspired by Celtic folklore. The colour influence is taken from Ireland's beautiful floral landscape.

2010 - A year of earthquakes
The earthquakes in Chile, New Zealand and Haiti confronted the insurance industry with a variety of challenges due to the different standards of development in the countries concerned. The efficiency and scale of settlement depended to a large extent on each country's insurance density and legislative framework.
While most people expected a lively hurricane season in the North Atlantic in 2010, exceptionally high losses were incurred instead on a completely different front, as several major earthquakes caused extensive damage. The most devastating earthquake of the year with more than 220,000 deaths struck Haiti, a country that was in no way prepared for such an event. Chile and New Zealand, on the other hand, were very well prepared. From the underwriting perspective also, countries with such disparate development levels must be assessed differently:
Chile: Settlement hampered by supervisory requirements
About 200,000 individual claims were reported to insurers in both New Zealand and Chile. Settling such a large number of claims presented a major challenge for local markets. After a slow start, more than 90% of the Chilean claims had been settled seven months after the quake. The supervisory requirement that each survey must be signed by a locally registered loss adjuster proved to be an obstacle. As a result, foreign surveyors were unable to relieve the burden on local loss adjusters to the full extent. As usual in the case of major losses, settling the claims reported for damaged industrial plants will be a lengthy process. Some production facilities are still not working at full capacity, leaving the business interruption (BI) component of the claim unresolved. In some cases, the wording of the policies was not sufficiently clear. This applies not only with regard to insurance of the full or residual value in the case of mortgage protection covers, but also with regard to deductibles in BI insurance in the industrial sector.
New Zealand: Public-private partnership creates high insurance penetration
In New Zealand, problems were encountered when activating the Catastrophe Response Programme of the state Earthquake Commission (EQC). The interaction between the EQC cover on a first-loss basis and the private-sector cover for the value of a building above and beyond this level was similarly fraught. Moreover, widespread soil liquefaction presented a very special challenge, for the EQC also covers the value of the land. Despite this, however, both Chile and New Zealand prove that the insurance industry is in a position to make a substantial contribution towards financing the losses from major catastrophes. In New Zealand, the existence of the government-owned EQC with reinsurance in the global market has resulted in high insurance penetration. In Chile, there is more far-reaching potential for insurance of residential buildings, as well as of public infrastructure.
Haiti: Market in need of development
The situation in Haiti is different, the under-developed insurance sector reflecting the precarious condition of society in general. Insured losses account for only a marginal share of the overall loss and were confined almost exclusively to the local facilities of foreign enterprises. Here, state covers, such as those provided by the Caribbean Catastrophe Reinsurance Facility (CCRIF), offer a way for the insurance industry to make an effective contribution. Microinsurances for lower-income groups are another conceivable possibility. Both approaches, however, are virtually unviable without subsidisation by the international community, e.g. through development banks. The task of reconstruction alone presents an immense challenge for the financially weak state. CCRIF is a first step, but its volume is nowhere near enough to provide the help genuinely needed by a country like Haiti.
Greater account to be taken of post-loss amplification in future
The large number of insured individual losses in Chile and New Zealand shows that the phenomenon known as "post-loss amplification" must be taken into account when assessing the risk in such markets. The term refers to bloated claims payments due either to higher repair costs resulting from a shortage of material and labour or to the fact that mass claims are settled on a blanket basis. For a quake of this magnitude, the proportion of policies affected in Christchurch was unusually high. Individual large claims by industrial plants with a high BI component pose a problem which has yet to be adequately solved when assessing and modelling risks. As was already experienced after other major catastrophes, such as the 1985 earthquake in Mexico or Hurricane Katrina in 2005, such cases contributed significantly to the insured market loss in Chile.

card can be a cardboard or thermocol cut out of a fish, crab, lobster,
seahorse or even a seaweed. Whatever catches your fancy. Or if you
would really like to make an impression, get a few small gold fish bowls
and attach an invitation card to it. But better still, take a long stick
or a rod that looks like a fishing rod and dangle the invitation card on
the end of it.
Cover the entire ceiling of the party room with low hanging nets and have a cut out of a huge fishing boat at the entrance. Hang danglers of fish and prawn entwined in the fishing nets and have a few cut outs of crabs all over the place. You can even borrow a few live crabs from your nearest seafood joint for special effects. Make a beautiful khoy bag in the shape of a huge octopus with his eight legs dangling down.
a light blue sari on one wall to give the effect of the sea, and pour a
else paint a beach scene on a couple of chart papers and use it as a backdrop
to this whole setting.
If you could get your family together to practice a few steps before the party, you could put up a small skit and do the fisherman's folk dance as it is quite easy to learn and looks good too. For games you could have:
THE FISHING GAME: for this you should attach tiny magnets to tiny little gifts and hide about 30-40 of them in the sand pit. Then take a couple of sticks to which you should attach a strong thread and a tiny magnet. Give these to the children by turns and let them fish out their surprise gifts.
KING PRAWN: played on the lines of 'Queen of Sheba', you have to divide all the children into two teams. Here the King Prawn will announce an article saying, "King Prawn wants…"and whichever team is able to find that article and bring it to the King is awarded points. Finally the team with the highest points wins.
SHOOT THE EYE OF THE FISH: use a bow an arrow and ask the children to aim at a huge fish dangler. The child who hits it closest to the eye wins. As a variation you can have them pin the eye on the fish while they are blindfolded.
FISHMODELLING CONTEST: give the children lots of clay to play with and give out the prize for the best sample of sea life.
When the children are ready to leave, have one of your relatives or servants dress up like an authentic fisherman holding a huge basket or a net filled with the return gifts, standing at the gate. He should fish out each return gift from this and present it to each child as they leave.
1. Soap danglers in the shape of fish.
2. Small net dupattas (if the party is for girls).
3. Hand towels with a motif of a fish and the child's name on it.
A lunch box in the shape of a fish.
to follow the theme of the card that you have chosen. The cake can be in
the shape of a crab, a fish, a prawn a seahorse or even seaweed. A lobster
would look really impressive. But an octopus would be just great.
Indian fishermen dress up in a banyan and a 'lungi'. Walk barefoot as it
will complete the impression. If it is birthday girl you could doll her
up in a 'navari sari' (a nine yard sari instead of the usual six yard one,
which is draped in the Maharashtrian style.) She can also wear colourful
glass bangles and a bright 'bindi' and tie up her hair in a bun. Don't
forget to put jasmine flowers in her hair.
children should be in the age group of 7 - 14 years to most enjoy this
Croissants in the shape of crabs.

Over the last week, I noticed that horror over the recent Pittsburgh synagogue massacre did not lead to the kind of partisan finger-pointing which usually accompanies outrages of this type.
Certainly there was a fair share of finger-pointing at the current administration, coupled with counter-accusations that those who wanted to use the tragedy of Pittsburgh to further their own political agendas were dishonoring the dead. But such Internet-fueled rages were fewer than one might have expected, given how quickly other mass killings turned into clashes over guns vs. mental illness I described last time.
This may be because the communities most affected, including the Pittsburgh and wider Jewish communities, urged those who needed to "do something" to reflect on their faith (in the case of Jews) and commitment to one another when responding to the outpouring of support from non-Jews around the world.
The power of such a response was brought home to me when I attended services at my synagogue on Friday night, the first ones held since Pittsburgh. At that event, the clergy addressed the overflow crowd of Jews and non-Jews with a message of hope, rather than despair or anger.
Helping those who were directly impacted by the crime was obviously first priority, and anyone with a connection to Tree of Life through family, friends or personal history, were asked to stand so that the community could show their love and support. But the rest of the service was dedicated to life, and not just life going on after a tragedy, but to the life-affirming, celebratory moment Jews are privileged to experience once a week in the form of Shabbat.
No doubt there were members of the audience able to find fault in some of the things that were said that evening. Even I couldn't help but think about Elder's warning against taking the murderer at his word that he targeted Tree of Life due to their embrace of refugee issues when our rabbi highlighted the killer's excuse for why he did what he really wanted to do, which was to kill lots of Jews. Upon reflection, however, it seemed more than uncharitable to characterize this story of solidarity as anything other an attempt to illustrate the open heart of a Jewish community which has decided to use its resources to help others now that our own refugee issues are largely behind us.
More importantly, the embrace of life-affirming principles, represented by the #ShowUpForShabbat effort embraced by millions across the globe, got me thinking about not just Jewish tragedy, but Jewish strength and longevity that has allowed us to survive for Millenia while other peoples vanished into history.
A natural – and understandable – tendency, after all, is to sink into despair when confronted with murderous anti-Semitism coming to America, especially in the context of the skyrocketing of attacks on Jews worldwide, accompanying (and excused by) the war against the Jewish state. But despair can easily turn to fatalist expectations of doom. But there is a cure. For Shabbat in general, and the most recent Shabbat in particular, demonstrates Jewish faith in week-by-week renewal that has kept us around fifty-two weeks a year for countless centuries.
Another natural response to the attack would have been boundless rage. But, as we have seen in societies that have devoted themselves to stoking and exacerbating such rage (especially societies who blame the Jews for their own failings and crimes), anger untempered by hope can lead to not just despair but to trillions in wasted dollars and, far more importantly, millions of wasted lives.
So, as tempting as it might be to turn our enemies' tactics against them, especially when they ruthlessly and relentlessly assault the most important Jewish project of modernity, we must avoid anything that might turn us into those enemies. One need only look at Gaza to see where that can lead. Similarly, one need only look at Jerusalem – ancient and modern – to see what we can accomplish when we play to our strengths, and act like the people we are.

âGood goâ for Miles and LSU
By CARL DUBOIS
Advocate sportswriter
Published: Aug 19, 2007
Matt Flynn looked sharp and threw two touchdown passes. LSUâs backup quarterbacks saw a lot of defensive end Tyson Jackson, whose pressure helped force two interceptions.
Guard Will Arnold was on the field longer than at any other time since last year, when he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the fifth game.
Those were among the highlights in a report by LSU football coach Les Miles about his teamâs work Saturday in Tiger Stadium in the major tackling scrimmage of a preseason training camp that ended with the scrimmage.
The game-type practice, which received the âgood goâ seal of approval from Miles, was closed to everyone except selected LSU boosters. Miles said the Tigers will take today off, continue fine-tuning problem areas and soon start on the game plan for the Aug. 30 season opener at Mississippi State.
âIt really was a good go,â Miles said of the scrimmage. âThis kind of marks the end of camp. The team moves out of their temporary housing and moves into their permanent housing (today), and so you always look back on your entire camp and see how things have gone.â
Miles made no significant personnel announcements, including identifying the No. 2 quarterback. Ryan Perrilloux began camp at No. 3, behind Flynn and freshman Jarrett Lee.
âI donât know that announcements have ever been really big with me,â Miles said, âespecially announcing a second-team quarterback.â
He said thereâs âgreat competitionâ and complimented Perrilloux, Lee and Harvard transfer Andrew Hatch.
âI like the position weâre in there,â Miles said.
LSUâs report credited Flynn with 7-for-14 passing for 90 yards and touchdown passes of 18 yards to Brandon LaFell and, in a red-zone drill, 20 yards to Early Doucet.
The pass to LaFell ended an eight-play, 70-yard drive for Flynn, who worked exclusively with the first-team offense, according to LSUâs report.
âMatt looked very sharp today,â Miles said. âHe made good decisions and had command of the offense.â
Listed as the top rusher was sophomore Charles Scott, with eight carries for 45 yards. Jackson was credited with two sacks and pressure that helped Chris Hawkins intercept two passes from backup quarterbacks.
Miles said the scrimmage featured 37 plays for first-team vs. first-team work and 37 more for first-team vs. second-team work. He said there were âprobably 25 special-teams situations and snaps.â
LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette said the scrimmage had live and âthudâ tackling, the latter prohibiting defenders from putting the player with the ball to the ground.
Backup linebacker Jacob Cutrera, who has an elbow injury he suffered in the first scrimmage of camp a week earlier, didnât participate Saturday but is âcloseâ to being back on the field, Miles said.
All-American defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey played the first quarter and âcame off very healthy,â Miles said. He said wide receiver Demetrius Byrd didnât participate in the scrimmage.
Miles said LSU suffered no injuries that should keep anyone from practicing Monday. He said a brief rain, with wind, cooled the players down during an otherwise hot scrimmage.
âIt was just what the doctor ordered,â Miles said.
He seemed pleased with the teamâs 10 40-yard sprints after the scrimmage.
âGuys just motored through it,â Miles said. âI like the way this team works. I like the way they play.
âWeâve got to fix some things, but we think weâll be ready.â
Some of the issues Miles said LSU needs to address are about personnel, but he said some are scheme-based. He also said some relate to his curiosity to see Saturdayâs scrimmage on videotape for closer inspection.
Kick coverage is one of those areas Miles wants to scrutinize more closely, and he said he and the rest of his staff will finalize those teams today.
LSU played crowd noise over the Tiger Stadium loudspeakers but didnât crank it up, Miles said. He said the plan was to provide some distraction for certain drills with certain players on the field.
He said the Tigers accomplished a lot thanks to a good-weather day.
âGood work today,â Miles said. âHot day. Enjoyable work. I needed this day. Our football team needed this day, and I was happy coming off the field.â
Miles, who brushed aside the release of the preseason AP poll and its No. 2 ranking for the Tigers, said heâs pleased with his teamâs progress.
âYeah, I kind of like where weâre at,â he said. âWeâre not ready to play, and weâre not ready to say weâre the second-ranked team in the nation in any way. Thereâs a lot of work to be accomplished to be as quality a football team as weâre capable, and thatâs where weâre headed.â

It's like Tony Robbins…but sadderApril 3, 2006
It's Spring check-up time, so I go in to see Doctor Fireman.
"You're in perfect health," Doctor Fireman says.
I am disappointed. I was hoping for some sort of terminal disease, and I'll tell you why.
It is scientifically-proven through anecdotal evidence that if you give a person a task and an amount of time to do it, they will take the entire time allotted to do said task. Like when you were given two weeks to do a book report in school, more than likely you finished the book report on that 14th day (unless you were me, who stopped reading after the 7th grade because reading is fundamental, and fundamentals lead to fundamentalism, and fundamentalism is what causes people to fly planes into buildings, or kill Jews, or set gays on fire, and I'll have no part in supporting that circle of hatred, thank you).
So if I had some sort of cancer which only gave me nine months to live, I would then look at the remaining tasks left in my life and say "Hey, you've got nine months to finish all this. Hop to it." And hopefully by the time those nine months were over I'd have finished all that shit I've been putting off for years. If not, oh no you failed and you're dead and don't have to worry about all that stuff anymore.
I should write one of those self-help books about this…call it "You're On the Clock: Now Get To Work! Time-Management Skills for the Terminally Ill." But I'm not dying, so I'm in no hurry to do it.

HKN certificate of origin for electricity
Swiss Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC) regulation regarding the certification of the means of production and the origin of electricity
An HKN-KEV system certificate is required to reap the benefit of being remunerated for electricity fed into the grid so as to cover costs. Under article 8 of the Electricity Supply Ordinance (StromVV), a certificate is a requirement for Swissgrid from 30 kVA onwards.
The certificate allows the national and international trade of electricity. System certificates entitle the holder to remuneration to cover costs for electricity fed into the grid. The certified production figures are recorded in an HKN-CH database so as to prevent double trading of added value.
Target groups
Electricity producers
5 years for system certification. Production certification monthly, quarterly or annually.
The HKN certificate of origin for electricity has national recognition.
The HKN certificate of origin for electricity can be combined with ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management) and "naturemade basic/star" (certification of electricity from renewable sources of energy).

Pleased with My Vacation Haven
This was our third trip to Destin and our first time renting through My Vacation Haven. The property Luau II 7021/7023 was perfect for us. My husband and I stayed in the smaller unit and let our daughter's family of five stay in the larger unit. I was pleasantly surprised how well the noise was blocked in our unit. We appreciated all the pool toys and the beach chair that was provided. I had to contact MVH once for an electrical issue and they answered promptly and helped me solve the issue. By all means download the app for MVH. Check-in and out were super easy. We were happy with the Luau and love their pool and the fact it's a very short walk to the beach.Carol F.

Not the Best Experience This Year
My family has rented this property from MVH for the last few years. It's always been easy to check in and a great place. My biggest complaint is the codes for the doors didn't work and after a 15 hour drive we had to wait 40 minutes for a maintenance man who was more sympathetic than the office worker. It's frustrating when we know how easy it is for check in and this time it was not. We travel with a group of friends and they all got a call the following day asking if all was ok and we never received the courtesy call. Also the microwave didn't cook so they brought a loaner and it took up all of the counterspace. Two days later I was called and given a different code to check but since i was at the pool the maintenance man that brought the microwave was to check them and I was never told the new codes. We used the outside door code and left the other two doors open all week. It was a great vacation week other than the headaches with the codes and microwave. When you pay that much money ahead of time, I expect everything to be taken care of or at least compensated for being inconvenienced during ones vacation.Susan L S.

Man Who Delton Williams Reportedly Brandished Gun To Reportedly Wants Charge Dropped
The person who was the victim of Delton Williams' apparent road rage last month is asking for clemency for the Michigan State running back.
The victim wrote a letter to police after the incident asking for a gun charge against Williams to be dropped. The Detroit Free Press reports the victim learned Williams' older brother, Jaree Warren, 24, was shot to death outside an Erie, Penn. bar in December. The victim told police that changed the way he felt about what happened.
An excerpt from the victim's letter to police, via the Free Press:
"I wouldn't want him to be thrown out of school over a silly mistake he made in a moment of fear. I believe he will learn his lesson and move on to better things."
Williams, 21, has been suspended from the football team. He allegedly cut off the victim while driving on MSU's campus, then brandished a handgun, for which he had a legal license to carry, after the victim honked at him.
The junior-to-be running back in mid-March was arrested and charged with brandishing a firearm, which is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail.
Williams is a two year letterman, and was MSU's third leading rusher in 2014, compiling 316 yards on 54 carries. He also scored a career best 5 touchdowns in 2014. His career totals 92 carries for 554 yards and six touchdowns in 22 games.
Do you think police should honor the victim's request and drop the charge against Williams? And aside from the legal situation, do you think Williams still belongs in the MSU football program? Here's my take:

text: SorceressKnight 1,398 Posted October 31, 2019 The problem with Rollins isn't just these things...but at least you can understand why Rollins is on top in a roundabout sense. Seth Rollins was given the spot because when he was anointed, he was the most inoffensive choice there was. It wasn't just three good weeks to make him one, but rather the fact that Seth Rollins was nobody's FAVORITE, but pretty much everyone thought he was okay. It wasn't the "I love Seth Rollins, he's the best ever!", but "...oh, yeah, Rollins. He's not bad, I like that guy, I guess..." On paper, that made Rollins a good choice: He's not the choice everyone loves, but 100% approval ratings are never going to happen again for the top guy...so it's now about finding the person the most possible fans can live with as the top guy. In practice, you find the real problem: Just "I can live with that guy" is waving a white flag and admitting "we got nothing. We're just going to give a milquetoast program that won't offend anyone. We're going to strive for 'okay'. It's not going to be great, it's not going to be bad...it'll just be okay." And most of WWE's big problems with the show is that it's...well, it's okay. It's not great, it's not as bad as people think...it's....just okay. Seth Rollins is an okay top guy...and that's not okay. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a scoreless 90-minute match India ran its Asian rival China to a draw in a Saturday night friendly football match, sparking outrage among China's legions of football-obsessed fans.
The Chinese national team's struggles were laid bare as it missed chance after chance to take the game, falling short of expectations for a big win at home.
It is a setback for China's unbridled footballing ambitions -- President Xi Jinping is a big fan of the sport and has vowed to make the country a football superpower.
It is not the same story in cricket-mad India, where football is far from the most popular sport.
The game in Suzhou, near Shanghai, was the first match between the two Asian giants' senior sides in 21 years. India had not beaten China in its last 17 attempts.
Although China controlled the pitch Saturday, its top 11 players were unable to put away a goal.
"This match shows there are still a lot of issues to sort out," China's state television announcer said at the close.
But both sides missed chances. On one set piece from roughly 25 metres out, four Chinese defenders left Indian team captain Sunil Chhetri uncovered on the far post, saved by his misplaced touch that sent the ball soaring over the crossbar.
In the second half, Chinese midfielder Yu Hai had India's goalie behind him with the ball inches from the net, but was still unable to get it across the goal-line.
China and India together account for more than a third of the world's population, but in football terms they are minnows, often beaten by countries a fraction of their size.
India is 97th in FIFA's rankings and China 76 -- sandwiched between Zambia and Lebanon -- underlining how far adrift both are from the global soccer elite.
China's football-crazed fans did not turn out in droves to see the match, with row after row of seats empty in the 30,000-plus capacity stadium.
But fans piled on the national team's Twitter-like Weibo account after the match, denouncing the team that has become a national disgrace to many.
"Does China's national team have any face left?" commented one user.
Another advocated turning the vast sums spent on football to other pursuits like building semiconductors.
"This collision of China's national team with India's, one-third of the world's population, shows that even among 2.7 billion you can't find one good footballer," said one, with the username "that fart so smelly."

Did the Easter Bunny come to your house last night?
He dropped by our place and left us enough chocolate to make sure we have been thoroughly ill for the day.
He's very kind to people—it's a pity humans aren't always so kind to rabbits.
I hadn't really thought about it until recently, but rabbits are victims of a whole lot of different kinds of cruel treatment.
Animal testing
As I mentioned last month, I recently saw the movie Maximum tolerated dose, and it was an eye-opener.
Like many (or perhaps MOST) people, I had no idea of the extent of the cruelty of unnecessary testing and experimentation that still goes on.
For some reason, I think I assumed that animal testing was uncommon these days, and that it was used only for crucial medical research—to save babies from cancer or something like that.
Again I showed my incredible ignorance. In 2011, 3998 rabbits were used in animal experimentation in Australia alone, and it often proved nothing useful for humans.
Visit Humane Research Australia to find out more.
On our recent visit to Edgar's Mission, we met 2 bunnies who were rescued from a rabbit meat factory farm.
I didn't even know rabbits were farmed! Apparently, farming rabbits for meat was illegal in Australia until the 1980s. Now, rabbits are farmed, confined to tiny solitary cages, just like battery hens.
Read about Brenda and Jacqui the rescued meat rabbits at Edgar's Mission.
Thankfully I don't think I know anyone who wears fur, so it hasn't been a huge issue in my life, but animals are still being farmed and having their skins ripped off so that humans can drape them over their own bodies. It's just a totally outrageous practice.
85% of the world's fur comes from China, and if you don't believe how cruel this industry is, track down the Swiss Animal Protection (SAP) videos that document what goes on there. (I don't even want to post the links because they're sickening and have given me nightmares, and I'd hate for one of you to accidentally click on them). Instead, you can read more about fur on the Animals Australia website.
What can we do?
This Easter, make the decision to be kind to rabbits.
- Buy cruelty-free products that haven't been tested on animals. (Get the list or the app.)
- Don't buy rabbit meat…hell, don't buy ANY meat! (Eat only chocolate bunnies).
- Boycott fur. There have been reports that real fur is sometimes sold as fake fur! Don't be fooled into accidentally buying real fur. Find out how to tell the difference. Better still, if you want glamour, wear velvet. If you want warmth, wear polar fleece.
Enjoy your Easter eggs and bunnies with a clear conscience, and have a happy Easter!
