Canada is a very large and diverse country . Sh-t we even let idiots like you in.
The very last, tail-end charlie ancestors of mine got "let in" to Canada in 1905. All of the previous ones arrived here in sailing vessels and ox carts, mostly in the 18th century long before there was a Canada. A few were two years shy of arriving in the 17th century.
They did, however, "let in" a fair number of pigs along the way.
AS I have said before..............................
OF OLD AGE.............. To.......................................
LONG BEFORE any stupid bigoted LIE-beral manages to pin anything on him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wild irrational hatred and anti white bigotry may impress LIE-berals and their supporters but you need a LOT MORE than that to impress an HONEST JUDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or get a CONVICTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
At the rate he's going, Donald Trump is going to be hauled away in a straight jacket.
Oh Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE IS THE GREAT EXCUSE offered up by all Red Comrades!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you disagree in any way with the Socialist Swine then YOU MUST BE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What Trump is PROVING..........................................
as OBAMA DID BEFORE HIM...........................................
is that the Yankee president is now a POWERLESS FIGUREHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
The Yankee President is now unable to implement any real policy on anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The president is merely a rubber stamp for massive socialist spending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a WARNING IN THIS FOR CDNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
The Yankee govt has now been turned into an out of control spending machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there is NO LONGER an OFF switch available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
Because power in Yankee govt is so fragmented that NO SINGLE PARTY can regain any real control...................
for the purpose of implementing consistent long term policy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Cdn connection is that Our idiot Boy is seeking to turn our Cdn Parliament into exactly the same sort of splintered and out of control spending machine that now exists in Washington.............and in Athens..........................and Rome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our idiot Boy wants to use his electoral reform garbage to load our parliament with so many different little one issue lunatic fringe special interest groups that nothing can be done since controlling a majority of the loons is like herding cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If our parliament gets set up as LIE-beral dictators desire...................then we Cdns can look forward to our own govt shutting down for weeks or months at a time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
While govt Hogs divy up the remaining govt gravy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like the Yankee version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such paralysis and out of control spending benefits LIE-berals ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As we have seen in places like Greece and Italy- such parliamentary paralysis ONLY BENEFITS a privileged few while wrecking the national economy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Better to move on from those pesky "parliamentary" things on to absolute leaderships. That's how Trump see himself and all of those pinko "elected body" things just interfere with making the world great, again Plantagenet-style.
Poor Muddled Curious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
He is so terminally confused he thinks it is a BETTER THING to let Our idiot Boy and his LIE-berals poison our legal system with Lavalin bribery........................................... ......
Than it is to allow somebody like Andrew Scheer to be ELECTED by a MAJORITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
Curious is so terminally confused he still thinks Joe Clark...........Who??????????????????
Still has a shot at re-election!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Curious is so confused that if Cdns were allowed to write in a candidates name on a ballot...........................
Curious would write in Ernie Eaves of Destruction instead of Doug Ford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Curious is so terminally confused he thinks there is SOMETHING WRONG with an Ontari-owe populace that would prefer Doug Ford
over a SOCIALIST AIRHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same as mine. We would rather die on our feet than live on our knees. Unlike hoid, who wears knee pads.

How being called 'the world's ugliest woman' transformed one woman's life - and inspired millions of others.Because of a rare genetic condition, Lizzie Velasquez has dealt with harassment about her appearance for most of her life. In 2007, the rise of social media led to her most public and humiliating experience: a then 17-year-old Lizzie came across a YouTube video of herself entitled 'The world's ugliest woman'.Lizzie started using the very medium that spawned this hatred to fight back and spread positivity and compassion instead. 'The only way I could show those people that they weren't going to become my definition and my truth was to somehow make myself better'. Her response drew 34 million unique viewers and half a million subscribers to Lizzie's YouTube channel. She catapulted to international fame in 2013 when her TEDx address 'How Do You Define Yourself?' went viral. Today it has received more than 10 million views.In Dare to be Kind Lizzie shares her personal story, the solutions that have worked for her over a lifetime of bullying and on how we can transform society into a kinder, more accepting place. This book will be an invaluable resource for anyone facing bullying, their parents and friends - and anyone who wants to make a difference.
Lizzie Velasquez is a global motivational speaker and anti-bullying activist who at 17 discovered a YouTube video had branded her 'The World's Ugliest Woman'. She turned to the same medium to share her inspiration response, gaining millions of followers. Her TEDx talk 'How Do You Define Yourself?' has garnered over ten million views. Velasquez is an executive producer of A Brave Heart, a documentary which chronicles her life from bullying victim, as a result of neonatal progeroid syndrome, to motivational speaker to activist.

Adam de Neige (b. 1987, Teheran , Iran)
The idea of still life and its codes of representation is one the bases of my creative process. I'm treating body and object as the same. They constitute two parts of a relation and they influence each other. Each artwork shows some fragments of this relation in B&W shades, without any background and uncontextualized. The different parts of body (ex: mouth, hand, feet…) are in relation/alienated with one or many objects (ex: book cover between toes). The absurd and exaggerated use of these objects removes the principal function of the organs, making the body static and more object-like.

text: HomeTourist Information Glemsford aea guide - Suffolk Glemsford is a pretty little village which sits on a small hill above the River Stour and the River Glem, from which it takes its name. It is an ancient village dating back to Domesday and earlier. It has been possible to trace the history of the village by the variety of its buildings and fieldnames. Park Farm for instance takes its name because its land was once the deer park for the Abbot of Ely, in whose gift the village was. The village church which is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin is of a fine structure and is a good example of a church that benefited from the successful East Anglian wool trade of the late middle ages. There are also examples of English domestic architecture from across the ages to be found in the village including on Bells Lane a structure of the horse hair weaving factory which prospered in the 19th Century. There are also several fine hall houses as well as a wide range of modest weavers cottages. On Chequers Lane, a silk weaving operation still continues, having first arrived in Glemsford in the 1820's, from Spitalfields. Other examples of medieval Suffolk can be found in the slightly larger villages in nearby Lavenham and Long Melford. Last Updated: 28 Apr 2015 Tweet

Vacation Training: Biking NYC en route to Croatia
At the end of August, I'm going on a seven-day bike tour along Croatia's Dalmatian Coast. The only problem is I'm not a cyclist. I haven't even taken a single spinning class at the gym.
So, I started training. I purchased my first road bike and all the gear that goes with it—helmet, gloves, a few jerseys and padded spandex pants that make me look like I've had an accident (and I don't mean on the road). From afar, I look like I know what I'm doing. Up close and personal, I can't even take one hand off the wheel to wave hello.
After just a few rides on the bikeway along the Hudson River, my legs are killing me. And I haven't tackled any hills yet. But I love getting out the bike and hitting the streets of New York. It's a great way to experience the City in the summer, to feel its pulse. On the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, I ride by tourists waiting for the Circle Line, homeless people sitting by carts full of bags, cruise ship passengers pulling on suitcases, couples holding hands, dogs playing in dog runs, families barbecuing, children flying kites, yoga classes on the grass, and beer garden parties across the road. One day, I even stumbled on Manhattan's only remaining lighthouse, Little Red Lighthouse. I've watched the sun set over New Jersey, heard the crickets singing in the grass along the bikeway, and smelled the unmistakable scent of pot. I've seen runners with backpacks, dogs sprinting alongside their owners' bikes. Once I saw a cyclist leaning very low over his wheel with his hands near his face. I wondered if he was texting but to my shock, as I rode by, I realized he was lighting a cigarette.
Training for my Croatia vacation has given me the gift of biking NYC and that alone is worth the money I spent for the cycling tour and bike gear tenfold. But now that I've been initiated into the joys of biking, I can barely wait to explore Croatia's Dalmatian Coast on two wheels.

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
definitely a book that will grab you by an irresistible body part and propel you forward. yet it's not all plot; one feels the characters as people and their history as lived.
the worldbuilding is thoroughly awesome. Jemisin has clearly put a lot of thought into her eternally post-apocalpytic world. what with the current civilization, the past one(s), and the various intelligent species all in conflict for control of a planet prone to seismic hissy fits on a grand scale, there's surely more than enough grist here for the series it seems it will be.
the story follows three main characters: Essun, a woman whose family is destroyed; Syenite, a woman of immense power but no control over the use of it, or even of her own body; and Damaya, a child rejected by her own parents and tossed off to a kind of slaver whose motives are downright creepy. these three threads wind together in the end.
only two bits were problematic for me: the character Alabaster, who is supposed to be a mentor but who's an epic fail at that, in my opinion–he withholds too much for no good reason. but his personal failings aside, he's too often used as infodump territory, and that gets a tad old. not horrible, but enough to irk sometimes.
the other was the eternal unpleasantness of Syenite. Jemisin makes it very clear why she is as spiky as she is, but spending a third of a book with a woman who has zero sense of humor or warmth… well, it's a long time to hang out with a crankypants.
still these are relatively small complaints–it's a ripper read and a very un-put-downable book, and i look forward to the next in the series. i'll definitely be nabbing it as soon as it's out.
i listened to the audiobook version–Robin Miles did an interesting read of it if sometimes a little over-emotive. super-good job on the often halting and interrupted speech of the characters, though, and she has diction clear enough to carve.

How do I save money while shopping online? What can I do to be sure I'm not spending too much on what I buy? The answers you seek will be found in the article below which details how you can keep more money in your pocket while still shopping on the internet.
A great tip to remember when you're thinking about online shopping is to make sure the site is legit. You don't want to be giving your credit card information away to someone who could potentially scam you. Always look at the site to tell if it's professional and safe to use.
Check out coupon sites. Whatever you want to buy might have coupons or discount codes. Before you buy something, make sure that you have the ability to take a few seconds and do a quick search. You might even want to bookmark some coupon sites to have ready when you buy.
If you are going to be doing some shopping online, make sure you understand the liability for each credit card you use online. Many credit cards have automatic fraud prevention built in while others offer it for a minimal fee. You do not want to get stuck with purchases made on your card if the number is stolen.
Find out the online store's return policy. If you are considering making a purchase on an item that you may want to return, be sure you find out if returning the item is an option. Sometimes when you shop online, items can not be returned and you do not want to be stuck with an unwanted item.
If you're an Amazon.com shopper, think about Amazon Prime. The membership is only 79 dollars, and you get quite a bit for your money. You will receive free 2-day shopping on in-stock items and you will also get discounted overnight delivery. You can also stream movies for free from their extensive library. That adds up to a lot of savings.
If you are not sure whether or not an online store is reliable, contact their customer service. Ask a few questions about the products, the payment method and the shipping. If you do not get a good impression after talking with a representative on the phone, find another online store.
Look for major online retailer sales in the middle of the week. With physical locations, you tend to see more major sales happen at the end of the week like Fridays. In order to compete with those days, many online retailers like pushing their sales up a few days. Try keeping an eye on major online retailer sites for sales on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Many companies offer promotional codes that can get you free shipping or a certain percentage off your total, but you may have to do some searching to find these codes! Do a search for the name of the company plus 'promotion code' to see what you can find – you could wind up saving a few bucks with one simple click!
There isn't much to saving money, that is why this article is so effective. Once you have the right knowledge, you can start lowering your bills. Enjoy buying anything and everything on the web while paying as little as possible, all thanks to the time you too to read this article in full.

Hurricanes and All Blacks utility back Nehe Milner-Skudder's hopes of making a return to the playing field have suffered a further setback.
He was forced to have another operation on his injured shoulder, due to complications which arose from previous surgery, and he is unlikely to play again this year.
That means his chances of playing at the Rugby World Cup in Japan later this year have all but evaporated.
"There was plenty to work towards and look forward to on the Rugby to-do list," Milner-Skudder posted to Instagram.
"But unfortunately due to ongoing issues with my shoulder from a prior surgery not going as well as we'd hoped, it was the best decision to go under the knife again to get it sorted."
Milner-Skudder, who signed three-year contract with Top 14 outfit Toulon, was one of the All Blacks' star performers during their successful campaign at the 2015 World Cup in England but he has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons.
A recent NZ Rugby campaign for mental health awareness in sports, featured Milner-Skudder and in it he referenced the big toll that his various injuries had taken on him.
"I've been through 'a few' injuries, but this has easily been the toughest one – both physically and mentally," he said.
But the 28-year-old is confident he will return to full fitness soon.
"However, I'm not ready to give up anytime soon, love a good challenge, and have so much love and support around me."

Although the name might suggest otherwise, Hachisoft is a home-grown American business. Honed and refocused since its initial imagining by three brothers in gradeschool, Hachisoft is now an organization trained for and committed to the development of quality software.
If you visit our offices nowadays, may no longer find us huddled around the glow of a prehistoric 16-color monitor. But you will, however, still hear the same enthusiastic buzz of computer-related excitement. We talk about data structures, programming languages, graphics, databases, etc. the way that some people talk about sports. It is just that our passion is the creation, maintenance, science, and art of software.
The software world moves fast, is picking up speed, and shows no signs of slowing. Without a thorough commitment to the awareness (and understanding) of new technology, software professionals are soon left behind. We at Hachisoft are insatiable in our appetite for new tools and solutions, and well-versed in the range of established solutions. This gives us a balanced knowledge base from which to implement pragmatic solutions that are tailored to the problem.
Software is wonderful when it works. As voracious software users ourselves, we feel keenly the pain of broken software. It is with this in mind that we leverage industrial strength testing practices and are fanatical about the quality we produce. It is nigh-impossible to have perfect software, but through careful testing and design, that is our goal. If/when you do hit a bug in our code, you can expect us to be prompt, helpful, and anxious to make it right.
As software professionals, to live and work in rural Washington requires a very different system of values. Our employees make daily sacrifices to be in this area, and part of this community. While we could all pack up and go to tech centers in urban environments, we are inspired by and committed to the pioneer spirit that underpins our community. You can see these values played out in the community endeavors of our employees. Most (if not all) are active in local sports programs, and many have served as head coaches. We believe in this community enough to invest our time, energy, and resources. It is extremely rewarding, and highly recommended.

Hickory, NC - Cape Fear women's basketball lost to Catawba Valley Community College 73-60 on Saturday.
The loss comes a day after the Sea Devils defeated Guilford Tech Community College by 18 points.
As head coach Lori Drake pointed out, her team did not come with the same energy as they did in the previous game.
"We didn't bring it like we did against GTCC," said Coach Drake. "We have to continue to push ourselves daily to get better and prepare ourselves to compete against every team we face."
Tracey Kemp led Cape Fear with 15 points, while Ny Langley scored 14.
The team drops to 10-3 overall on the season, and 7-2 in conference play. They remain in second place in Region 10.
The team's next game is scheduled for Wednesday, January 9th, where they will take on Fayetteville Tech Community College at home at 7:00 p.m. at Laney High School.

When studying the complexity of checking identities in certain finite algebras, I came across the following decision problem:
Input: A positive integer $n \in N$ and a set of affine subspaces $H_1,H_2,\ldots,H_k$ of $\mathbb Z_2^n$ (where $\mathbb Z_2$ is the 2-element field).
Question: For every $x \in \mathbb Z_2^n$, let $n(x) = |\{H_i:x\in H_i \}|$. Is $n(x)$ a multiple of 3 for all $x$? Or, in other words, is every point of $\mathbb Z_2^n$ covered by $0$ modulo $3$ many of the affine subspaces?
Note that there are no conditions on $n$, $k$ and the dimension of the affine subspaces $H_i$.
The problem is clearly in coNP, but unfortunately I am not able to prove anything more about its complexity. My hope is for it to be coNP-complete, since this would have nice implications for our research. But also if it was in P or equivalent to some coNP-intermediate problem this would be a really interesting fact to know.
Two observations:
- If we additionally assume that the codimension of all input subspaces $H_i$ is bounded by a constant (e.g. if every $H_i$ is a hyperplane) then the problem is in P. Thus any encoding of a coNP-complete problem would require using subspaces of arbitrary codimension.
- I tried to encode the complement of some classical NP-complete problems, but did not succeed. In particular 'covering problems' like the Set cover problem seemed to be a natural choice. But that we count here 'modulo 3' seemed to be an obstacle in this approach.
Thanks for every hint! :) In particular references to possibly related problems in the literature would be very welcome!

Big Sky SGF
Montana's Premier Submission Grappling Tournament Series.
Big Sky SGF has set out to offer the great state of Montana the best in local, home grown Submission Grappling Competition. We noticed that there has not been any regularly scheduled BJJ and Sub Grappling tournaments that happen year to year in Montana. Yes, there have been some, but not on a regular basis. There are also the occasional Academy tournaments that coincide with high profile seminars. But no annual tournaments that Montana Jiu Jiteros can count on year after year! The only way for most Montana submission grapplers to test their skill was to travel out of state. Big Sky SGF has set out to change that. With the spectacular success of the First Annual Garden City Open we would say that Big Sky SGF is well on its way to accomplishing that goal! The ultimate plan is to have three large scale tournaments across the State in three major city's of Montana. A spring, a fall and a winter tournament.

THE WORLD'S NUMBER four platinum producer Aquarius Platinum halted operations today at a South African mine as rising unrest also forced top ferrochrome company Xstrata to shut down a chrome plant.
Police used stun grenades to disperse 1,500 protesters who had gathered at Aquarius and arrested seven people after the government announced a crackdown on the growing labour troubles in the key mining sector.
Aquarius said:
The decision to suspend mining operations has been taken to ensure the safety and security of employees and assets given the rising tensions and protests within the regional workforce and communities.
Brigadier Thulani Ngubane told AFP that "police used stun grenades and the crowd dispersed".
Seven people were arrested and charged under the illegal gathering act.
Xstrata Alloys and Aquarius halted work in the mineral rich Rustenburg region where operations by top global platinum producer Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) and number three company Lonmin have already been shuttered.
Xtrata, the world's top ferrochrome producer, said it evacuated all staff at the Kroondal chrome mine as a safety precaution due to the increased protests.
The evacuation has been completed without incident. No other Xstrata operations are affected.
Amplats halted operations at five mines in the area on Wednesday over safety concerns after staff were intimidated with threats of violence, while the paralysed Lonmin reported a 0.31 percent worker turnout today.
Aquarius said it expects operations will start up again at the Kroondal mine from Sunday evening but that the situation will be closely monitored.
The strikes have spilled over to platinum and gold mines from a bitter wage battle at Lonmin where a wildcat strike started last month and exploded into violence that has killed 45 people.

For those who are worried about rising sea-levels, the data released last week from the University of Colorado is welcome news. This data shows a significant slowing down in the rate of sea-level rise in recent years, rather than the acceleration predicted by the global warming theory. The test of a scientific theory is whether it's predictions are true, so this is a significant setback for global-warming proponents. But it is goods news for the Dunedin City Council because it means that there is no urgency in the rising sea-level issue, so spending can be delayed until measurements show that sea-level rise is accelerating. I believe that University of Colorado is the most respected source for global sea-level data. If you believe that there is a better data elsewhere, then let me know.

MMGW isn't real … it is just for a bunch of old menwho can't do real science to sit around and pull funcing away from younger researchers whom can make a difference.

text: Guest Report post Posted February 3, 2010 So, the discussions of running E-85 in non FFV always sway to the cautions of lean burn damage? If I understand correctly ethanol has more oxygen molecules within the fuel or what is referred to as naturally oxygenated. An E-85 fuel burn requires a different air fuel ratio as compared to unleaded. An engine under same operating conditions (fuel ratios) as unleaded; E-85 will cause engine damage produced by lean burn combustion. Right? So, E-85 fuel requires more fuel in mix or if some how the engine can limit its own oxygen mix the same result. One or the other required for correct burn and efficient hp engine. Most I.C engines can't change their air supply unless someone figures out how to dump more EGR gases in combustion chamber instead of fresh air. Has anyone tried that? This would be produce less horsepower, but during low hp requirements wouldn't this be good? Under high hp conditions dumping in correct ethanol with fresh air should produce more hp than unleaded as more E-85 can be burned with comparable charges of air as compared to unleaded. Maybe the reason so many experience power. The high O2 reading from oxygen sensor pumps more E-85 fuel developing more hp. Good for high torque need, bad for light cruising. Do the auto companies try this trick with variable valve timing? Or Fords Atkinson cycle engine? When operating in the Atkinson mode the IC could just push out more fresh air to minimize cubic inch displacement. A temporary small CI engine with less squirt of E-85. Anyways, was just thinking....my question. Are we hurting engines by running straight E-85 in NFFV? During summer I like straight E-85 in GM pickup 3.7 six cyl or close. Trips to KC (600 miles) will lose only 1-2 mpg. Engine runs for long time under hot conditions. Seems sweat, but am I lean burning engine? This used to burn valve seats prematurely for cycles and small engines. If I put in a flex fuel kit, it would get more power and avoid lean burn....but my mpg would go south right? Am I hurting a NFFV engine with E-85? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The OPP North West Region would like to thank outgoing Chief Superintendent Mark Pritchard for all his hard work, and congratulate Superintendent Dave Lucas in his promotion to chief superintendent and new commander of the region, effective Dec. 1.
Lucas, who was the detachment commander for Rainy River District in the mid-2000s, brings a wealth of experience to his new position of commander of OPP NWR.
He began his policing career with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
In 1992, Lucas joined the OPP, taking a posting in the NWR and has remained here ever since.
He has invaluable experience that comes from working with many of the 500 uniformed and civilian members responsible for providing front-line and specialized services within the region.
Lucas has worked as a uniformed member, an ERT member, a Crime Unit member, a member of the Professional Standards Bureau, the commander of both the Rainy River District detachment and Kenora detachment, as a Critical Incident Commander, and most recently as the director of the NWR.
He has had the honour of working at, or from, most of the nine-host and 15-satellite detachments throughout the 421,000 square km that make up the NWR.
"We will continue to build on our relationships with all communities, and work in collaboration with our partners to enhance community safety and well-being in the North West Region," Lucas pledged.
"Strong support to the health, safety, and wellness of all OPP staff is also a priority," he added.
Further changes to the North West Region command structure include the following, effective Dec. 1:
- Inspector D. (Dwight) Thib, Manager of Operations North West Region, has been promoted to Superintendent and assigned Director-Operations, North West Region; and
- Detective Staff Sergeant (Mark) Hutchinson, Manager of Criminal Operations North West Region, has been promoted to Inspector and assigned Manager-Operations, North West Region.
These members of OPP North West Region Command have good knowledge of policing in the north and understand the importance of working with indigenous communities.

There is strong support for the Clean Election Act in Arizona. Three-fourths of likely voters (76 percent) strongly favor (29 percent) or favor (47 percent) the program. Further, by a five-to-one margin (53 percent to 11 percent), voters would oppose rather than support a legislative candidate who they knew was trying to repeal the Clean Elections Act.
It is also important to note that support for Clean Elections cuts across all important demographic groupings. For instance, among those with an opinion, 89 percent of the Democrats, 82 percent of the independents and 81 percent of the Republicans support the program. People in their middle years and those with higher levels of education were most supportive. These are, of course, people who tend to vote most in elections.
Support the PROPOSED VOTER VOUCHER PROGRAM as part of comprehensive campaign finance changes for privately financed and Clean Elections candidates.
(HB2575 introduced but not given a hearing. Voter Voucher program was offered as an amendment to HB2306 which was not heard in the Senate after HB2593 passed increasing only private campaign cash amounts.)
UPDATE 4/16/13: HB 2575 did not receive a hearing this session. Read the proposed amendment to HB2306, where a new "Voter Voucher Program" was proposed here.
HB 2575 contains a provision that creates the Voter Involvement Program (VIP). Under this proposed program, every voter gets 'credits' worth $50 to participating legislative candidates, $300 to participating statewide candidates. Voters can give these credits to participating candidates who appear on their primary ballot and then those on their general election ballot. Participating candidates seek Votes and Clean Elections funding from within their district/Arizona, focusing on voters they will represent, not PACs or outside Big Money donors.
VIP puts clean elections funding into the hands of voters.
Before Arizona voters passed Clean Elections in 1998, Big Money controlled who ran for public office and who was elected. They funded candidates they knew would advance the corporate agenda and cut off funding to challengers. Clean Elections has allowed candidates who want to represent the voters, run for office and win independent of lobbyists and special interest money. Big Money knows they cannot succeed in persuading voters to repeal Clean Elections, so they intend to dupe voters into defunding the program with a deceptive ballot measure in 2012. They want to kill Clean Elections now because they know that efforts to pass the Fair Elections Now Act--Clean Elections for federal races--have significant traction. With the stakes high we must protect Clean Elections and Clean Money in Arizona for government of, by and for the people.

When the U.S. Supreme Court gave Corporations the power to pour unlimited amounts of money into influencing elections, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and other Big Money goliaths decided they deserved more control over elected officials. Stilled annoyed that voters passed the 1998 anti-corruption law, the Citizen's Clean Elections Act, after AZSCAM, and it's impact on their power, corporations poured big bucks into killing Clean Elections in 2010 but failed. In 2011, they came back with bigger guns and the legislature passed SCR 1025 to deceptively repeal the key anti-corruption provision of providing campaign funds to qualifying candidates who choose not to accept funds from private, corporate or Big Money. It also would have killed Tucson's 1987 Clean Money system and swept money from Tucson to the state's general fund.
Clean Elections Candidates gain a shield against the influence and power that Big Money exerts on officials they fund for election. Join Arizona Advocacy Network to protect Clean Elections and
Coruption Money Tucson's Clean Money program. Your support will help us strengthen this important anti-corruption law with a new small donor supplemental funding system that requires candidates to demonstrate viability while increasing civic participation and expanding access to our electoral system for those historically marginalized.

Here's What You Can Expect From An Acura Mdx Long Term
While it's nice to always know which car handles the best and which has more advanced and easier to use on-board tech, ownership costs can be just as important when buying new.
With that in mind, Kelley Blue Book drove this 2016 Acura MDX for a whole year, putting more than 24,000 miles (38,624 km) on the clock, and what they found was a very reliable product.
Still, the MDX is far from perfect, or at least this pre-facelifted 2016 model was, with its poor infotainment ergonomics and slow-shifting 9-speed automatic (especially from 1st to 2nd gear).
To make up for all that, this MDX came well spec'd with Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Warning, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a 16.2" rear-seat entertainment system. The KBB team also enjoyed exploiting the car's 3.5-liter V6 petrol engine, which is good for 290 HP (294 PS) and 267 lb-ft (362 Nm) of torque.
What's somewhat surprising is that for a whole year, absolutely nothing went wrong with the MDX, which may not mean much in terms of overall statistics, but it's certainly promising for any aspiring MDX owners out there.
Of course, you can now go out and purchase the 2017 facelifted Acura MDX, which we've already reviewed.

Gender diversity
The Equality Act prohibits discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression. Human gender identity and gender expression come in a multitude of forms, and not everyone is unambiguously female or male. Gender minorities include trans people, such as transsexual, non-binary gender (transgender) and transvestite people, as well as intersex people.
Gender minorities are still often confused with sexual minorities. Discrimination based on sexual orientation is prohibited under the Non-Discrimination Act. Compliance with the Equality Act is supervised by the Ombudsman for Equality and the National Non-Discrimination and Equality Tribunal, while labour protection officials (regional state administrative agencies, AVI) are in charge of monitoring discrimination in working life.
Gender minorities have been an increasingly large part of the work of the Ombudsman for Equality since 2004. The Ombudsman for Equality has actively strived to improve gender minorities' protection against discrimination and called for statutory-level regulations to improve equality for gender minorities.
The reformed Equality Act, which took effect on 1 January 2015, prohibits discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression. The Act also obligates authorities, education providers and employees to prevent discrimination.
New provisions related to gender identity and gender expression were included in the Equality Act specifically to clarify and broaden the scope of the protections of gender minorities against discrimination, although it should be noted that the same provisions apply to all people and not only gender minorities. The premise behind the amendments is the idea of gender diversity and that every person has their own gender experience and way of expressing gender.
Statements on discrimination and gender diversity
Do you suspect discrimination?
- If you suspect that you have been discriminated against you can receive instructions and guidance from the Ombudsman for Equality.
- In cases of discrimination at work:
If you are a member of a trade union you should get in touch with the union steward and find out your rights.
- Guidance from the Ombudsman for Equality is free. The trade union membership fee includes the right to legal advice.
- You can also contact a legal aid council, a lawyer's office or a lawyer. You will usually be charged for legal services. Check if you have the kind of legal expenses insurance which covers your legal expenses.
If you are of limited means you may be entitled to the services of a legal aid council for free or for a reduced fee.

The following example shows how to identify the disk information:
# format 0. c2t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107> /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@0,0
The output identifies that disk 0 (target 0) is connected to the second SCSI host adapter (scsi@2), which is connected to the second PCI interface (/pci@1c,600000/...). The output also associates both the physical and logical device name to the disk's marketing name, SUN36G.
Some disks do not have a marketing name. If the format output does not identify disks by their marketing names, then you can use the format utility's type and label features as described in the following steps to include the disk's marketing name.
The following steps must be done while the disk or system is inactive, which means booting from an installation DVD or the network, unless the disk is currently unused and it will not contain the Oracle Solaris release. In addition, the final step is to relabel the disk, which can remove any existing partition information or data.

There should be a space between Table label(User) and User's name on the Form header. However, in Kingston, if users switch to UI15, there is no space between Table label(User) and User's name on the header.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Login a demo Kingston instance
2. Switch to UI15
3. Go to any form e.g. User record:
/nav_to.do?uri=sys_user.do?sys_id=<sys_id of the user record>
4. Notice there is no space between the Table label(User) and the User's name on the header
5. This happens in all forms. For example, Form header title for incident e.g. "Incident INCXXXXXX" is displayed as "IncidentINCXXXXXX".
The following workaround introduces the hyphen ("-" ) in the form header on all the records across the instance in UI15. This solution is not an official patch and will need to be tested thoroughly on a non-prod instance before being validated and activated.
Create a global Client Script with the code below:
function onLoad() {
//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var sheet = (function() {
// Create the <style> tag
var style = document.createElement("style");
// WebKit hack :(
// Add the <style> element to the page
return style.sheet;
// Missing CSS Rule that will fix the Form Display Value for UI15
sheet.insertRule("HTML[data-doctype=true] H2.form_header .form_display_value:not(:empty):before { content: ' - '; }");

Dynamics 365 Security Roles: Testing Best Practices
A security model in Dynamics 365 protects the Data Integrity and Privacy in a D365 organization. As a D365 Customizer, Authentication and Authorization of the D365 application is called security testing. Security roles in D365 have both Privileges and Access levels for each Entity. As you are planning to validate your system, always remember these important points:
Test Plan
- Level of Access: The D365 security model provides different levels of access, like User, Business Unit, Parent, Organization, to each security role. Consider all the security roles defined in the system and perform validation from highest – like System Administrator to lowest against the requirements defined for your system.
- Privileges: The D365 security model provides different privileges, like Create, Read, Write, Delete, Append, Append To, Assign, and Share, for all the roles defined in the system. Plan to perform all the CRUD operations and validate which type of role is authorized to perform those actions for each entity.
- Field Security Profile for users: Field level security in D365 is applied to control access to individual fields within an entity. It is applied to single user or team. Authenticate whether users or teams who are added to the field security profile in the system have privileges to read, write, or update those fields in different entities. Ensure users who are not part of the field security profile team are not authorized to read, write, or update those fields and that a symbol (*Lock) is applied.
- Teams: D365 is a collection of users who belong to the same or different business units. A user can belong to multiple teams. A user belonging to a team has all the privileges that the team is entitled to, except if the user has been restricted from some of them. Perform negative testing to identify whether any unauthorized users have access to edit those records.
Test Execution
- Have the security matrix Excel sheet with access levels, privileges for all entities defined by your Business/Customer
- Create test cases around the security matrix for all the security roles
- Start your testing with lowest level of security role and then complete your testing with the rest of the roles defined in your system
- Consider which is the security role that your business or customer uses most in their day-to-day activities and execute the regression suite test cases with those security roles
- Consider negative testing on Field level security fields and Teams
- Validate out-of-the-box actions like Delete and Deactivate buttons are disabled for User security roles who are not supposed to have access
- Verify Reports and Dashboards are only available to User Security roles who have permission to access
- The customer values security as the highest satisfactory point, so ensure users can perform all operations they are supposed to perform, and that an unauthorized user can't perform the actions that they are not supposed to perform
That's it. You're ready to test security roles within Dynamics 365. For more tips and tricks, be sure to subscribe to our blog!
Happy testing!

10 Richest Soccer Players in the World 2017
We're about to take a look at the richest soccer players in the World 2017!
The richest soccer players are some of the best athletes out there; they work hard and get paid a lot of money because they bring in a ton more through advertising.
Not everyone can do what they do, and they can't do everything everyone does. You get my point? Because they are unique they get paid big money.
When soccer managers are looking to build a team, they look for only the best to hire. It is normal that those best to have the highest salaries.
So we looked around the world and ranked the top 10 Richest Soccer Players in the World 2017! Here's the list:
10- Frank Lampard: €80m ($86.84 million)
The English professional soccer player is a midfielder for the New York City FC, and the all-time leading goalscorer for Chelsea.
He has been with Chelsea for 13 years, and made 164 consecutive Premier League appearances, a record for an outfield player.
He began his career at West Ham United and in the 1997-1998 season, he managed to secure a place in the first team. And the following year, helped the team finish 5th in the Premier League.
Lampard then moved to rival London club Chelsea, for a transfer that cost the team 11 million pounds.
In 2015, after 13 years of being with Chelsea, he has been released. Then joined New York City FC on a two-year deal, but he would play for Manchester City in the meantime.
Frank Lampard net worth is estimated at $86.84 million.

Fiction has always been my first love. I always wanted to write a novel. It was one of those things I said as a teenager to my closest friend, way back when we had guts and ambition and the whole world at our feet– 'I'm gonna be a writer when I'm older. I am, you know. I'm gonna write a book.'
But the teenage years are pretty much unpredictable, and the aspirations we have then don't always materialise the way we would like or the way we would think. We go with the tide, battle with the current, and let 'destiny' carve out what is 'for us' or 'meant to be'. That is, up until something clicks in your brain which causes you to stop and reflect. Makes you pause and think. Think hard. Think deep.
I started writing 'for real' a few years after my sister died in 2008. When I say 'for real', I guess I mean it was a bit more serious than the short stories I would write as a child after taking in a stray dog only for its owners to have come to collect him the next morning before I even had a chance to open my eyes (I'll let you figure that one out). I started to write a fiction novel, and this first finished manuscript seemed good enough to get me an agent. I then wrote a second novel, and a third. However, even though I had an agent, my novels were unable to find a home.
I had been writing for some newspapers and in 2011, I was asked to write a feature on Medjugorje for the Sunday Independent. While there, I spoke to many people about their experiences and why they travelled to this small village in the former Yugoslavia. When I got home, I had an idea for a non-fiction book which I pitched to The Columba Press. Within a few weeks, I had a book deal and two years later, I did a second book with them. This was later translated into Italian by Edizioni Piemme.
I enjoyed writing and researching these books, but my real passion still lay with fiction. I heard someone say before, that if they were to publish every book that had ever been written, we would all be living in the sea! I knew the fiction market was saturated, and let's face it, the competition is tough – there are so many wonderful fiction writers out there in so many different genres. It's hard to break into – at least that is my experience of it anyway.
My sister was over from New York, and I was talking to her about my frustrations in trying to get my fiction published. It was then she made a suggestion – why not write about something you really know well? Why not write a fiction book loosely based on Medjugorje?
I did. And the result is Pilgrim.
My agent submitted the manuscript to Ireland's oldest publishing house, Mercier Press, around this time last year. And then a few days before Christmas, we got an email from commissioning editor Patrick O'Donoghue, to say they wanted to publish the book which is released in Ireland on the 14th September.
My journey to get my fiction work published has been a long, sometimes frustrating but also a strangely fulfilling experience. In between my two non-fiction books, I also wrote short stories which were published in the literary section of the Irish Times. I've been shortlisted for awards including the Colm Toibin Short Story Award, the Penguin/RTE guide Short Story Award, and I was runner-up in the New Talent Award at the Festival of Romance in London. I've appeared on the Late Late Show, on RTE radio and television, and I've attended writing festivals and book launches of fellow authors whom I admire.
I really enjoyed the whole editing process and was lucky to be paired with two great editors within Mercier Press, Noel O'Regan and Wendy Logue. I was also extremely fortunate and deeply humbled to get two great quotes for the cover of my book from Donal Ryan and Carmel Harrington. It never ceases to amaze me how supportive the writing community can be to one another. That can mean so much in a sometimes difficult field.
I get my inspiration from people – people from all walks of life. I read somewhere before that we lose ourselves in books, but we find ourselves there too. That's why I chose so many different voices for this novel. The world is curious and intriguing. So are people. If you open your eyes wide enough, you will be amazed at what you might see.

About Pilgrim:
After a major row with his wife, Sarah, Charlie Carthy storms out of the family home. Just hours later he finds out that Sarah has become the victim of a hit and run driver and is in critical condition in hospital.
Sarah's death and Charlie's self-absorbing grief throws their daughter Jen's life into turmoil. Will an unwanted pilgrimage to Medjugorje heal Jen and Charlie's relationship, or, should Jen prepare to lose her remaining parent?
Deeply moving and evocative prose. Haunting, tender yet hopeful. Pilgrim is a beautiful read that lingers. – Carmel Harrington
In this cynical age it's a joy to encounter such sincerity, and wonderfully unexpected to see contemporary fiction as a profession of fervent yet gentle faith. Louise is a brave and humane writer, a breath of the freshest air. – Donal Ryan
Order your copy online here.
Pilgrim is released on the 14th September 2018. The book will be launched in Dubray Books on Grafton Street on Thursday, 20th September at 6:30pm by Carmel Harrington. All welcome.

Annemiek Van Vlueten dominates the penultimate stage of the Giro Rosa on Monte Zoncolan.
Giro Rosa - Stage 9 recap
The race started with a short 30 km loop that passed again through the starting town of Tricesimo. From there the peloton began the long run north towards the famous Monte Zoncolan.
At the halfway mark, Silvia Valsecchi (BePink) and Sara Penton (TeamVirtu) broke away from the bunch and worked together to gain an advantage of 2'55". However the peloton slowly closed the gap as the road began to drag up and inclement weather hit.
As the peloton hit the base of the climb proper, the lead group quickly reduced to only 40 riders. Many dropped back as they suffered on the steep gradients, which averaged over 15% in some parts.
Almost halfway up, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio launched an aggressive attack that only Annemiek Van Vlueten could follow. They rode upwards, leaving the rest of the field behind them.
Behind the two leaders Eider Merino (Movistar) and Amanda Spratt (Mitchelton-Scott) continued to battle it out.
With only 3 km left to climb, Van Vlueten hit Moolman-Pasio with an attack and developed a small gap, which she slowly extended all the way to the finish line.
Van Vueten claimed the impressive stage win 40" ahead of Moolman-Pasio and further extended her lead in the General Classification.
"I'm really happy we finished here on the Zoncolan", said Van Vlueten, "Compliments to the organisation."
Spratt accelerated up the final pinch of the Zoncolan to secure 3rd for the day ahead of Merino, finishing 2'54" down on teammate Van Vlueten.
Heading into the final stage on Sunday, Van Vlueten securely holds the maglia rosa by 3'35". Moolman-Pasio moves up to 2nd and Spratt into 3rd at 5'53".

Stage 10 preview
The final stage of the Giro Rosa will be another tough day for the peloton.
The 120 km course will feature 3 loops, starting and finishing in the town of Cividale del Friuli. The first 100 km are relatively flat before the peloton reaches the final climb of the tour, which is 6 km long at an average gradient of 7%. Those who crest the top first will then follow a fast 10 km descent towards the finish line.
Lucinda Brand (TeamSunWeb), who has been climbing very well and is one of the best descenders in the peloton, may have a chance at winning this stage. However any rider would need to win by a considerable distance to make a change in the General Classification standings.

As a society's contributing member, you're anticipated to dispose of your trash in a controlled and safe way. You are probably using traditional trash can regularly to achieve this. Sadly, a mere trashcan won't be big enough all the time to put all of your trash that needs to be disposed of. Sometimes, you'll have to utilize a dumpster to effectively do this. If you want to know when you should rent a dumpster, Dumpster Engineering blog will provide you some of the common reasons and instances that you need to rent a dumpster.
Managing a construction site
Once you're managing a construction site, you will definitely be needing a dumpster. As a matter of fact, depending on your project's scope, you might require many of them. You can choose from different kinds of dumpsters available in a dumpster rental provider.
Cleaning up after an occupant
One of the reasons why you could make use of a dumpster is when you're a landlord and a tenant just moved out. Hence, you'll need to clean up after he/she leaves to accommodate another tenant. This is especially possible when your tenant has retained some of his/her belongings in your place as he/she moved out. Dispose of them easily by using a dumpster.
Spring cleaning
Through the years, the waste and trash in a home can actually begin to pile up. If you're up for a spring cleaning and you would like to remove all of your waste in just one plunge, renting a dumpster can aid you to complete the task.
Your child will move back in with you
Maybe your kid has recently graduated from college and plans to move back into your home. If this is your case, you might have to begin clearing some space for him/her to use. A dumpster could be utilized to efficiently and quickly dispose of any belongings you have that you don't use anymore.
You are landscaping
Perhaps you're preparing your yard for the incoming summer or winter season. Trimming trees, bushes, and grass could make plenty of yard waste afterward. Though you can possibly manage all the waste using standard waste receptacles and trash bags, you may require to switch into having a bigger container, like a dumpster. If this is the case, then you can always rent a dumpster in a trusted rental dumpster company.
A storm struck your house
If your home is struck by storm recently, there is a possibility that your siding panels, roofing shingles, and even tree branches are laying all over your landscape. If this is your case, you may require a dumpster so you can clean up the entire mess after the storm.
You are having a baby
If you're about to give birth to your baby, you will need to make some extra space. Though there are several ways to do so, one of the options you can have is to just throw some of your things away. Once you choose to continue this plan, renting a dumpster could really be useful.
