Even in 2020, in addition to countless social media platforms, there are still many chat websites and chat apps. But all these websites have the same problems: spam, chatbots, and annoying ads. Which chat pages in 2020 are recommended can be found in this post.
Chatiw is a bad example of a social media platform. After logging in, the following message appears after a short time: "If you are here from chatws, we have bad news as well as good news. Bad news is that chatws is under TROLLS and HACKERS control and the owner of site is no where to be found. But the good news is, we have made a new site where you can chat safely and securely. "Therefore, the site should be shunned.
Unfortunately the login was not possible after confirmation of the Google reCaptchas at the time of the test.
Chatib.us is a free public chat platform with guest access and without registration. Reference is made to the following: "It's forbidden to use ADULT WORDS, Non Respectful Conversations wants Suspend Your Access". Chatib is free and will always be. In addition, it should be mobile friendly and also work on the smartphone. At the time of the test, only about 100 users were online. Most of them in the Singles Chat Room which was spammed by Chatbots.
Like other platforms, e-chat is divided into several rooms. The design is undoubtedly a bit outdated and user profiles can only be slightly personalized – some text and a profile picture. Spam appears in both chatrooms and private messages.
TalkwithStranger! is a chatplatform that offers besides a simple text chat with individuals also other features like a random video chat. In the self-experiment, however, connections could only be made with individuals. A group chat feature and public chat rooms seem to be missing. Likewise, text, speech and webcam cannot be used together. Unfortunately, the site displays a lot of advertising (Google Ads).
Y99.in offers free international chat rooms for guest chatting without registration or signup. That sounds good and the homepage looks amazing. Below a big ad I found a list of chat rooms I can enter: Teen Chat, Neat Roleplay, Gay Chat, Singles Chat and Dating Chat should be the most popular rooms. It features a cool and up to date chat software.
Emeraldchat is a random chat software. After solving the captcha you can login without registration and talk to strangers. First you have to choose if you want a text chat, video chat or group chat. It is not possible to change that selection on the fly later like on chatcloud.
This site offers 8 different Rooms. As software they use Shagle, a free online video chat service. If you like it, you should try shagle.
Shagle is easy to use and the software looks up to date. It is a cam2cam website and a gender filter is only possible if you pay for it.
This is a teen chat with many rooms and a medium-sized number of users. Unfortunately, many private messages are delivered, which are clearly advertising. Changing the room is also possible like creating a profile and saving your friends. Unfortunately, no pictures can be uploaded to your own profile.
Best chat alternative in 2020
If you do not like the offered platforms, sign up now for Chatcloud!

This article defines what digital assets are and what a digital asset management solution is. You'll also get an overview highlighting the main benefits of such solutions, and a discussion on issues and best practices for managing digital assets correctly.
Digital Assets and DAM Defined
Digital assets are typically images, videos, graphics, accounts, records, spreadsheets, and text files that are stored electronically and provide value to their owners. As modern businesses and organizations become more reliant on technology, the number of digital assets at their disposal grows, and like any set of assets, it's important to manage them.
Digital asset management (DAM) entails a set of processes, procedures, and tools that organizations can put in place with the aim of classifying, organizing, monitoring rights and restrictions for, and easily retrieving their digital assets.
This type of coordinated strategic approach is necessary for optimizing digital asset workflows in enterprises. With DAM, different teams within an enterprise, such as sales and marketing, can easily find and extract value from existing company assets in a cost-effective and efficient way. However, managing digital assets without a tool can quickly become complicated.
A digital asset management solution is a type of software that puts the infrastructure in place to effectively manage digital assets by enabling their ingestion, cataloguing, storage, and retrieval. These tools typically work by building up an taxonomical structure for digital assets and associating each asset with unique metadata so it's easily discoverable. Some examples of digital asset management solutions are:
- DAM software that integrates with existing enterprise content management systems, such as Nuxeo.
- Cloud-based tools, such as Cloudinary's digital asset management system.
Digital Asset Management Benefits
Saves Time
If digital assets remain scattered throughout an organization's IT infrastructure, retrieving them becomes a huge source of wasted time. DAM tools enable easy retrieval of assets through metadata and intuitive search functionalities. Furthermore, large numbers of assets can be accessed and edited simultaneously.
Centralized View
By providing a centralized view over digital assets and tracking them, DAM processes and software solutions help to ensure that everyone remains on the same page, accessing the same version of each asset across different channels and content platforms. In multinational companies spread across the planet, this type of harmonization becomes imperative, and company employees in different locations can track any updates to digital files.
Improves Digital Asset Security
A DAM system enhances the security of your digital assets by giving controlled access to those assets and allowing you to define permissions such as read-only in addition to protecting certain asset classes from copyright infringement by adding company watermarks to them. Some DAM solutions bolster asset security even more by adding two-step authentication to prevent unauthorized access and/or modification of assets.
The number of digital assets requiring management only grows as the size of a given company grows. Cloud-based digital asset management tools, in particular, provide the infrastructure for scaling digital asset management upwards to incorporate huge numbers of files and increasingly diverse file types.
Digital Asset Management Challenges and Best Practices
While DAM has many benefits, it's important to understand the challenges of it, including:
- Privacy: DAM provides controlled access to assets, however, it can be complicated to decide who gets access to which assets.
- Storage: As the number of digital assets grows, managing them using traditional on-premise storage can become prohibitively expensive.
- Conflicts: Many companies depend on the use of content management systems to serve website content, however, these systems can conflict with digital asset management by removing metadata from digital files or even replacing the uploaded version of a file with a resized version.
- Usability: According to a poll on DAM systems, usability was a key concern for companies looking to use these tools. A DAM system needs to be able to serve all types of users regardless of their frequency of asset access or their expertise.
Some best practices for digital asset management are:
- Begin with an internal audit which should identify all digital assets used by your company and their particular use cases. The audit should also highlight who the main users of a DAM system would be and who needs access to specific assets.
- Defining an ROI for these systems can prove problematic, so perhaps consider some of the costs of not managing digital assets, such as the fact that companies spend an average of $8,200 per person per year on file management activities and creative professionals spend an average of one out of every 10 hours of their time on file management.
- To decrease the chances of issues arising with usability, set up a training day to train all your users on the use of a chosen DAM tool.
- Try to use CMS that doesn't spoil your DAM efforts by removing file metadata or replacing files upon upload, causing the DAM tool to lose track of such files.
Wrap Up
Given both the costs to productivity and the inefficiencies that arise when not managing digital assets or poorly managing them, it's clear that DAM tools are worth the investment. The benefits of DAM are numerous and by understanding the main challenges, you can get the most from your chosen tool.

Phosphating Plants
The stages of Phosphating are to be decided in cosultaion with chemical supplier.
Spray Phosphating Plants
often wherever production voliimes are high and compnent sizes are standerd spray phsphating plant is opted. The components loaded on conveyor pass through spray tunnel. Tuennel has internal piping and spray nozzles, and chemicals / water is circulated in piping by pumps. Each spray zone has tank and pump. The compnents pass through tunnel and after treatment pass through water drying oven. After drying the components get cooled down and enter in automatic or manual spray booth. Spray phopshating can be five stage / seven stage or more depending upon component surface quality.
Dip Type with Transporter
The components are stacked in baskets and are dipped in various baths as per proecess and timing.the conventional hoist sytem has various drawabacks like maintianing bath timings, movement of baskets, baskets scratching the coating of tanks etc. Transporter system is plc based and it calculates the timings and move the baskets in time. As entry and exit is guided no scratching of basket with tank. One can also have more wagons on same rail if process demands it. Transporter system is flexible as it can release the basket in tank and go for other tank to pick up fresh load or transfer from one tank to another tank.
Tailormade Phosphating Plants
These are designed as per specific production / process / componenet requirement.

The sandwich generation refers to people in mid-life with aging frail parents and dependent children. https://en.wikipedia.or/wiki/Sandwich_generation. But there's another kind of generational sandwich with an extra layer. The Club Sandwich Generation. https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-club-sandwich-generation. That's me. I've got a frail mother, my three sons have not yet launched and I have two delicious grandchildren.
Aiming for Perfection
I'm a freelance journalist /editor, a nutritionist and recipe developer; I'm just about finished my third book; I run five miles a day; I bake my own bread, my house is spotless…NOT !!!
Truth is I have loads of unfulfilled career aspirations. I waste time like crazy and I can't seem to balance my family responsibilities with my work life. I love my family. I enjoy seeing my grandchildren. I'm not keen on housework. I spend far too much time in the kitchen, but I'm no Martha Stewart.
And I haven't mentioned my mother and her memory problems nor the fact that I have gained10 pounds in the last 10 years and my house is overflowing with stuff.
So this blog is about surviving in the Club Sandwich Zone. How do other people do it? I'd like to hear from domestic goddesses who run businesses or hospitals and wear Size 2. Women like the super mom Sarah Jessica Parker plays in the 2011 film, I Don't Know How She Does She It https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Don%27t_Know_How_She_Does_It

TEXT: Luke 6:46-49
THESIS: When we build our faith according to the law of Christ, we spiritually prosper.
THEME: Confusion and division is the result of a foolish builder.
1. The wise builder Noah builds the Ark (Gen. 6:13-16, 22)
2. The foolish builder The sons of men build a tower (Gen. 11:1-9)
3. What kind of builder will this congregation be? If wise, we shall remain. If foolish, we shall perish.
Noah paid attention to every detail. Not out of meritorious work. But out of faith and love for his God. He respected and feared the Lord. That's why he didn't build the Ark with any other blueprint and material. That would have been foolish. And it would have resulted in his death.
If we build our faith like Noah we'll remain in the vessel of safety, the body of spiritual security, the kingdom of provision, the church belonging to Jesus Christ. How? We will obey the strict instructions commanded to us in this New Testament Law of Christ. We shall not deviate or compromise the plan of salvation. We will remain pure in worship with the right mind and doctrine. We shall respect proper Christian behavior and principle. We shall embrace and practice church discipline when necessary to keep His church undefiled. We shall love our God and His people. We shall evangelize and seek to extend benevolence. We shall utilize all our talents for the greater good of His kingdom. Whether that be on the computer, at the voting booth, or a meal with our fellow neighbors.
In this Ark, this kingdom, this church, we receive all spiritual blessings. May we never take that for granted. May we allow His grace to teach us the craft of discernment. Making us wise. Teaching us to reject what is evil, and cling to what is good.
The problem with the "sons of men," was that they wanted to build for "ourselves." Selfishness and pride. Thinking themselves high and mighty without the need for God. "Even God couldn't sink the Titanic!" God will not be mocked. Punishment and consequence must be administered, righteous justice.
If we build our faith like the sons of men we'll be separated and confused, no longer productive. Incoherent. "I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas." Unable to understand each other. And is that not what we see today in this religious landscape of denominationalism? All sorts of different teachings, confused and separated. Churches built by men. In their misguided attempts to gain God like status they are divided and lost. None of them teach the unique plan of salvation. None of them practice worship in spirit and truth. And because of that none of them is "good" in the eyes of God. Oh they can build, but what they are building will be uprooted. It won't last forever.
Let us read Luke 6:46-49
46 - Sons of men (foolish builders)
The Lord brings the "sons of men" a question to the accountability of their foolish and vain construction. They publicly speak praise of Christ. Publicly declare to be a religious people, Christians. They reach for the sky. Yet they refuse to live according to the New Testament Law? They neglect to do what is demanded by God? They do not obey the proper plan of salvation? They do not worship in spirit and truth? They do not live right before their fellow man? "What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?" – Js. 2:14. Of course not! Dead faith never moved mountains, nor has it ever trusted in Christ.
47, 48 – Noah (wise builder) The wise builder is one who seeks Jesus Christ and His words (Rom. 10:17). He is not a hearer only, but he is a doer of the words Jesus has spoken. Because faith Biblically described, is one of love and action. It is a faith which took much sacrifice. It is not just surface and timid. It is inward and productive, public.
The wise builder will construct a vessel which will conquer the coming challenges. He will dig deep and lay down his foundation on Christ, the solid ground of His Word. He will be reading, studying, listening to faithful sermons and attending the assembly, evangelizing, being benevolent, active in fellowship. And because of his participation in doing things the right way, he will pass on this faith to his children. Who in turn will keep the inspired traditions and remain positioned on a hill in Spencer WI. Being active in this faith will allow us to remain safe and secure when health issues arise (sickness, disease), persecution (hostile people or government), and loss of loved ones (perhaps does passing from this life outside of Christ).
49 - Sons of men (foolish builders) Everything is opposite of the sons of men, the sons of disobedience. They certainly heard the gospel. They had the same opportunity as the wise builder. Yet they refused to do what they read. They did not dig deep. They did not sacrifice much.
And so when hard times came, times of obedience came. They fell and were eternally ruined. Divided and confused. Lost and unproductive. And it is interesting to note that the foolish person can build. He just can't build anything that will last forever. What he builds is but momentary. It has no deep roots.
CONCLUSION: Two builders. The wise (he who believes and is baptized shall be saved) and the foolish (he who does not believe that shall be damned).
The wise will this day act upon his faith. He will tell others about Jesus. He will obey the gospel and continue to live faithfully.
If you need to respond to the gospel call and have your sins forgiven by Christ, come forward as we stand and sing.

About Helping Hands for India
Helping Hands for India is a charitable organization, managed by a dedicated team of volunteers, who are committed to providing educational opportunities and to promote well being to children in India.
We have built a school in the rural village of Pritamgarh, India, where yoga and meditation, play and outdoor education are included in the curriculum. Sansar Gyaan Pathshala, which means 'World Knowledge Lessons' is the name of the school. We have 300 children, from Kindergarten to Grade 8, coming every day!
Inspired by our teacher, Yogrishi Vishvketu, a group of yoga teachers came together in 2009 to give back to the children in the area of Rishikesh, India, where we had received so many blessings.
We are supported by the Anand Prakash Ashram in Rishikesh and the generosity of the Akhanda yoga family and friends.
Our Vision
Rooted in our shared knowledge, we envision a future where ancient wisdom and modern ideas work to create a self-sustaining world.
Our Mission
Guided by our Akhanda Yoga heritage, we provide education for children in rural India while fostering a community of social, economic and environmental wellbeing.
"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive" Dalai Lama
Our story
"Sponsoring a child in India benefits everyone. Not only does it help our sponsored child to experience opportunities that were previously not possible, but it helps my own children appreciate and learn to share the abundance that they have in their lives." ~ Ratan Jyoti
"I have always enjoyed working with children as a tutor and during my most recent trip to India I was granted the opportunity to help a special child to succeed in life by becoming a sponsor. Education is a gift and it warms my heart to know that a bright child will grow up and contribute to this world in a positive way in part due to the help he has received from this program."
"Sponsoring a child in India for me has given me an opportunity to make a contribution and give something back. Its too easy to get busy with our lives and only think about ourselves. This contribution to us financially is insignificant but life changing for the child. Knowing that a child is able to get a chance in life because we made the effort is very nourishing to the soul."
"It is a privilege to be able to sponsor a young girl who has the potential to becoming a self-sufficient and independent individual. I can make a difference in the world by helping one person at a time. Though there are many organizations with the same goal, I am delighted to have chosen 'Helping Hands for India' to assist a child and their family. I had and continue to have the opportunity to meet my sponsored child. I know that the funds are producing results as her confidence and English are improving."

We begin every day with a thought. What to wear, what to do, what to eat. As we learn more about ourselves and our surrounding environment we adapt our thoughts to be more relevant to the continuing evolution. Therefore, this is the beginning of my thoughts evolving, like my hair, my personality, my skin, and my age.
While knowing, in some mindful capacity, we evolve from one stage in life to another. What we do to collectively share what we retain of mindful thinking may be about what is going on around us, what is within us, and most importantly, what is impacting us. This means being honest about where or who we are and what we believe about where we are going. Evolving into something more like we want, or more what we believe, or just more than what we are today. Whether in seriousness or just passing parody, it's a great way to start the conversation!
So what are you doing about evolving your mindful thoughts?
Are your thoughts so caught up in just surviving that you mindlessly think about things you have to do? Are you effortlessly 'just doing' what you don't have to think about? Yeah, I have been there, daily. I am not talking about thinking to solve world peace, but good for you if that is what you think about daily or at least annually. I am talking about the mindful thoughts about YOU. Who you are – to you. Do you think about how you talk to yourself or treat yourself? Maybe you do too much of that, think about yourself or maybe you don't do it enough. Maybe, you do not mindfully think about anything but yourself. However, if you do, you might not actually know you do or admit that you do…so we move forward with what we know and believe. So let's begin with thoughtfully evolving a thought.
How do you evolve a thought? Great question! We are all different but still learn in the same manner, by doing.
So right now stop thinking about multiple things, and just have one mindful thought. Yes, it can be about your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/significant other, your job, or even your dog. Point being, you have only one thought. Now think about that chosen thought, and think about what you originally thought about that topic a month ago or a year ago and continue to go back until you see how your thoughts evolved to now. It's meant to be a fun exercise, not a chore!
For example, today I was thinking about my education and where I want to go with it. Which led me thinking about how much time and energy I spend on 'learning'. So I thought for a while HOW I got to my current belief and understanding about my education. Then WHAM! I got a dose of thoughtful evolution to my current state of mind about something I have been thinking about, consciously and unconsciously, all my life. Those horrible years of trying to be smarter than someone believe I would never be, leading me to today. Today, which could be any day for many years, where I mindfully want to evolve my thoughts to begin a new journey. I want to be thoughtful about my life, my choices, my unfathomable need to learn, and my future.
So please join me on a journey to find out things…yes, things. I don't know what they will be but I do know they will be thoughtful and fun. Evolution is more than what or where we 'think' we came from.

Lentils are quite possibly one of the easiest ways to add protein and fiber to your diet without breaking the bank. Although they may be super healthy and ridiculously inexpensive, I think they are very underrated. Don't you agree? That is why I love this soup. It highlights the lentils with the hearty kale, diced veggies and ground turkey meat.
This soup was really simple to make, and used many similar base ingredients to the chicken noodle soup. Onions, carrots and celery are the soup essentials. After chopping the veggies, all the preparation entails is stirring and waiting to enjoy!
The ground turkey makes the soup more filling and hearty. I probably wouldn't eat nearly as much meat if I didn't sneak it into my soups for nutrients. You could leave this out to make it vegetarian, or even use ground beef.
Don't the carrots add the prettiest pop of orange?
The real color comes from the amazing kale! The green just pops and adds another huge source of nutrients. It appears to have a thick, leaf-like texture before, but when it is cooked down in the soup it adds a nice chewiness. You could also add spinach to the soup if you had that on hand instead.
After only thirty minutes, the soup is ready to eat! The bold green kale turns into a darker color eventually, but it still holds it's taste. I keep my soup in the fridge for about 5-7 days and it maintains flavor. I mix up my side dish with the soup to keep a variety. It's great paired with a grilled cheese, crackers or garlic toast. Thank you Seattle Times for the inspiration!
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 large carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup lentils
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cup water
- 4 cup kale
- Heat olive oil in a French Oven or large pot. Add ground turkey and cook until browned (5-6 minutes). Season with a bit of the salt and pepper.
- Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, celery and garlic. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes, bay leaves and oregano. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the lentils and the rest of the salt and pepper. Cover the pot, turn heat down to medium low, and cook for 8-10 more minutes.
- Remove the cover, add the broth and water, and turn the heat up to high. When the soup comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low. Simmer uncovered until the lentils are tender but still hold their shape, about 30-35 minutes. Stir the kale into the pot when you have about 5 minutes cooking time left. It will wilt and reduce in volume quickly. Remove bay leaves, and serve.
Love food. Love self. Love life.

Introduction Many protocols support global identities like firstname.lastname@example.com to represent users like john under domains such as example.com. The URI format for HTTP can express [Section 2.7.1 of [RFC7230]] such authority components (with a userid named "resource user" herein), with an intended interpretation of locating user-specific resources. Many online applications publish resources on individual users, but there is no standard in HTTP to express user names to address them. This specification adds that through a header "User", closely paralleling the "Host" header. Some current URIs for HTTP have used the userinfo field in the URI to express an authentication user (named "client identity" herein), in spite of the intended use to refine the authority information. This conflates the resource user with the client identity. This specification defines client identity and resource user as orthogonal concepts, and specifies a clear relation to the URI format. Orthogonality yields a generalisation, but voluntary conflation of client identity and resource user remains possible. In fact, software may use it as default behaviour. Servers can be configured with resource users that demand authentication with the same client identity; they may even accept authentication with a client identity as a bypass to the same resource user. Clients may accept Van Rein Expires August 6, 2020 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft HTTP user@ February 2020 authentication requests and use the resource user from the target URI as a hint to the expected client identity. Orthogonal concepts can however be untied to support advanced use cases. Servers may use resource users to identify groups and welcome members to authenticate against such a group resource. While authenticating, client identities can be drawn from another domain, so it is possible to "bring your own identity" as long as the server can rely on a mechanism of realm crossover for credentials. TOBEREMOVED: We have designed two mechanisms for realm crossover in other specifications; SXOVER is a SASL mechanism for realm crossover via a Diameter backend, which can be provisioned to user agents through HTTP SASL; KXOVER is a Kerberos mechanism that is taken care of in the KDC. Both rely on DNSSEC, DANE and TLS. The purpose of this specification is to define clear meaning for http and https URIs and their userinfo mappings to HTTP. 2. Definition of the HTTP User Header The "User" header carries a resource user as part of the requested authority, and therefore refines the resource name scope. The value can be explicitly inserted or be the user in the userinfo component of the target URI. The User header value holds precisely one value with the following ABNF grammar: User = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims ) The referenced non-terminals are as for URIs [RFC3986] and can be directly included in the quoted-string header form; a plain token cannot express "(", ")", "=", ";" and "," without escaping [Section 3.2.6 of [RFC7230]]. Note that the header MUST NOT include a ":" colon (U+003a) character. 3. URI with Resource User This section is informative. Naming a user in the authority component of a URI is a general idea, already used for addressing users with SMTP, SIP, XMPP and many other protocols. The addition of users in the URIs for HTTP, a refined resource name is provided, and better crossover of identities with Van Rein Expires August 6, 2020 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft HTTP user@ February 2020 these protocols can be achieved. Unlike server-specific user name mapping conventions, the specified generic meaning of URI userinfo as part of the authority information enables such crossovers to be automated. There is a current practice of writing a client identity in the userinfo portion of a URI. This is considered useful if it adds Basic authentication to the first request; Basic can do this because it does not incorporate a server-sent challenge. Having never been standardised, the mechanistic side of this practice is highly diverse, and URIs are far from portable between browsers or even the various places where they occur within one browser. As a result, these URIs cannot be distributed freely and their usage pattern is dedicated to the client software in use. This specification does completely support [Appendix A] this pattern as a special case. This specification follows the URI's intention of the userinfo field, and prescribes copying its value into the User header. It will however remove anything from a colon onward, to suppress the portion of userinfo that should not be rendered [Section 3.2.1 of [RFC3986]] as well as a colon hinting at an empty password. 4. Protocol Handling of URI and User Header Compliant user agents MUST pass userinfo from the target URI (up to but excluding the first colon ":" (U+003a) if it contains any) as a User header field if, and only if, the target URI contains a userinfo part. They MUST NOT remove userinfo from the target URI during this process. Empty userinfo MUST be treated as any other userinfo string. The User header MAY appear in requests and MUST NOT occur in responses. When sending it, the user agent SHOULD generate User as the next header field after Host. Transparent intermediates such as proxies and caches MUST NOT add, remove or modify the User header. The CONNECT method and Host header both exclude this information, so the User header complements them. Compliant servers MAY ignore the User header [Section 3.2.1 of [RFC7230]] and they MAY impose a more restrictive grammar (like a NAI's utf8-username [RFC7542]) than the URI syntax before further processing it. When they do use it, the Effective Request URI [Section 5.5 of [RFC7230]] MUST be constructed with the userinfo and the "@" at delimiter (U+0040) prefixed to the host name and optional Van Rein Expires August 6, 2020 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft HTTP user@ February 2020 port. Realms are specific to an authority section [Section 2.2 of [RFC7235]] and so a realm never spans across different userinfo values. As a result of a consistent translation of any User header value into the Effective Request URI, the server would map consistently to resources. It is merely enabled to include a User header as an extra input variable to this mapping to resources. HTTP caches [RFC7234] need to differentiate requests based on the User header. To accommodate that, the Vary header [Section 7.1.4 of [RFC7231]] MUST be generated by the server in the matching response, and the header MUST either be a single "*" star (U+002a) or list the "User" name, for all responses whose processing was influenced by the User header. This requirement has no bearing on software and configurations that ignore the User header. Compliant user agents MUST NOT change the support of the User header depending on the source of a reference; be it a redirect form a server, a click in a hyperlinked document, a script or a part of a browser interface or an external source. When processing URIs that are relative to the context of a previous URI, compliant user agents MUST replace the userinfo in the target URI when the new URI specifies an authority component, and MUST keep it otherwise. 5. The Logic of User in HTTP This section is informative. HTTP structures a number of things around the authority component of its URIs, and the addition of resource users in this position form a logical extension. This leads to improved user experiences. Realms are identified by a scheme, the authority and a descriptive string passed with authentication challenges. Clients can use this combination to decide about a client identity to present to a server; it is common for people to have roles relative to one another, and the standard definition of realm identity allows the user agent to select an identity to match the role for the remote party. This can even be used for credentials passed in the TLS handshake, such as X.509 certificates. A similar logic is found for robot exclusion files. They are found at a path /robots.txt for a given scheme and authority. The inclusion of the resource user in the authority enables personal pages to each have their own robot exclusion file. Van Rein Expires August 6, 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft HTTP user@ February 2020 More futuristic would be a suggestion that a server may relay connections to user-operated web servers on the basis of the resource user; this is once again an intended use of the authority field. It may not be possible under current specifications yet, but HTTP with User header can support it as soon as TLS can. 6. Environment Variable with Local User The following variable SHOULD be passed to applications that run on top of the HTTP stack in a server: LOCAL_USER gives the HTTP User header value after syntax checking and percent-decoding. If used at all, it MUST be treated as a resource user. This header does not describe the authenticated client identity, which is usually passed in a variable REMOTE_USER. 7. Orthogonality of Authentication (Example) This section is informative. This section provides an example of an advanced use case. Not only does this use the resource user to locate a shared server account, it is also distinct from the client identity used during authentication. Whether the client identity is welcomed by the resource user is determined with an access control list. Furthermore, this example shows the logic of a realm identity that involves the resource user in finding the right client identity to the contacted resource user. John and Mary are both part of the Sales group of Example, Inc and John has written a document that he wants Mary to review. Mary opens a link to the document name space under the group's shared account "sales" at https://email@example.com/docs and her user agent sends: GET /docs HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User: sales The server redirects to add a slash, and when this is specific to the sales name space, it must inform caches about this with the Vary header: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: /docs/ Vary: User Van Rein Expires August 6, 2020 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft HTTP user@ February 2020 Since the new location lacks an authority component, this part is retained from the referring URI, and the user agent redirects to https://email@example.com/docs/ by sending: GET /docs/ HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User: sales By this time, the server runs into access control, and decides that it needs an authenticated client identity. To this end, it responds with a challenge to the "Documents" realm: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized WWW-Authenticate: KnockKnock realm="Documents" Vary: User Mary's user agent needs to collect credentials, and may hint at the user name "sales" from the URI but, this being the name of a shared resource, Mary has no fitting credentials and instead authenticates with client identity "mary": GET /docs/ HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User: sales Authorization: KnockKnock realm="Documents", user="mary", ... At some point, the server accepts Mary's authentication and proceeds to access control. This phase checks if client identity "mary" may access realm "Documents" of "https://email@example.com" by checking that Mary works for the Sales department. Once this is assured, the server returns the requested document list: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Vary: User Content-Type: text/html ... Review 123 now ... Mary clicks on the link to /docs/review.cgi?docid=123 and her user agent sees a relative reference with no authority component, so this is again reused from the referring URI. The new URI is https://email@example.com/docs/review.cgi?docid=123 with same root https://email@example.com for which Mary has an authenticated client identity, so the same "Documents" realm can be tried. The user agent therefore sends: Van Rein Expires August 6, 2020 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft HTTP user@ February 2020 GET /docs/review.cgi?docid=123 HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com User: sales Authorization: KnockKnock realm="Documents", user="mary", ... After access control, the server starts the CGI script with environment variables LOCAL_USER=sales and REMOTE_USER=mary for the resource user and authenticated client identity, respectively. The script interprets the LOCAL_USER as a group account and the REMOTE_USER as the acting group member, and returns a page for review of the document and Mary can get to work. 8. IANA Considerations Please add the following entry to the Message Headers registry: Header Field Name Template Protocol Status Reference ------------------ --------- --------- ------- ---------- User http TBD TBD:THIS_SPEC 9. Security Considerations The User header field as defined herein is orthogonal to issues of authentication and authorisation, and adds no security concerns. 10. References 10.1.

Compatibility with Basic Authentication This appendix is informative. Basic authentication is regularly used as a quick and easy HTTP authentication technique. Several user agents continue to support it with the "user:password@" URI prefix to a hostname, despite its deprecation [Section 3.2.1 of [RFC3986]]. This specification imposes no new constraints on this practice; it merely prescribes sending the User header field, and leaves it to client software whether to also sends Basic authentication. The mapping from HTTP requests to resources is the prerogative of the server. A server supportive of resource selection through Basic authentication could ignore the User header field and still comply with this specification. A server that does recognise the User header field would use it to locate a resource, before deciding about access control to that resource; it may subsequently require authentication, and select schemes that could be supported. At this time, it may or may not welcome an added Basic authentication attempt. All this depends on server configuration. This flexibility can support a transition from Basic authentication to User headers on the server, and allows client software to also migrate by first adding the User header, and later supporting the advanced uses by allowing differentiation between resource user and client identity. Server administrators have a free choice whether to gradually phase out older clients or to continue to support them. Sending both the User header and Basic authentication is only to be expected from user agents who conflate resource user with client identity. Such user agents will be less flexible, and will not be able to support more advanced usage patterns that separate these concepts, such as shared/group resources addressed with the User header field and, when desired, authentication through a set of other headers. Van Rein Expires August 6, 2020 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft HTTP user@ February 2020 Appendix B. Compatibility with RESTful Patterns This appendix is informative. Whether and how the User header is interpreted is the prerogative of the server. The server will translate resources in the same manner when provided with the same User header, and may do so without regard for the HTTP method. The main concern is now if it will be addressed in the same manner in every case. This depends on the user agents. Development environments make sending the User header field simple, so application support is as easy as the applications are flexible. Binary user agents and ones that may lag behind in updates do however call for backward compatibility support of consistent translation to resources. Backward compatibility can be guaranteed for host names that always require a User header; all resources would be described with URIs having a (possibly empty) userinfo field. Failure to send a User header to such resources when the URI holds userinfo indicates that the user agent fails to support the User header. When an offer for Basic authentication is presented, it may be interpreted as the conflated approach to userinfo, and treated as a substitute for the User header. If neither is offered, then an error may be reported or control redirected to another means of selecting a resource user, perhaps through an alternate local naming convention. This indicates that the server is able to detect inconsistent tranlation risks, and avoid accidentally binding a request to an unintended resource as a result of a missing User header. Appendix C. Compatibility with Caching This appendix is informative. Whether and how the User header is used to find resources is the prerogative of their server. A conservative cache design might insert the User header value in request URIs, but lose the capability of seeing the equivalence of a resource as perceived by the server. The inclusion of the name "User" in the Vary header of the response adds explicit non-equivalence information, and thereby provides a more accurate cache controlling instruction. Whether a result is "private" is independent of the User header, as that only signifies a refinement of the resource name space on the server. The rules that signify authentication as default indicator of privacy is orthogonal to the User header. Independent inclusion Van Rein Expires August 6, 2020 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft HTTP user@ February 2020 of Basic authentication may still invalidate caching, but not as a result of this specification. User agents that send Basic authentication will invalidate intermediate caching. When an empty password is used to select a resource user, it would improve caching performance to switch from Basic authentication to the User header. Appendix D.

Correctional officers target information campaign in Prime Minister Harper's riding Français
Sep 13, 2012, 12:56 ET
Union of Canadian Correctional Officers begin public campaign aimed at informing Canadians on what's happening in federal correctional facilities
MONTREAL, Sept. 13, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - The Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO-SACC-CSN) will mount a public awareness campaign on Saturday, September 15th in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's riding of Calgary Southwest. An expected 500 officers from across Canada will hold a march followed by a rally in front of the Prime Minister's constituency office.
"We want Canadians to know that the Conservatives' 'Tough on Crime' agenda is an empty slogan when it comes to Canada's correctional facilities," said Pierre Mallette, National President of UCCO-SACC-CSN that represents staff in fifty-two federal facilities. "The reality is that our prisons are breeding a different type of criminal, one that belongs to a gang, is more prone to violence and will get less treatment before they are released into the community."
Even the federal correctional investigator Howard Sapers pointed out recently in the Calgary Herald, "Because of overcrowding, fewer prisoners have access to programs and education designed to help their rehabilitation." He went on to say, "This is not the best combination for public safety,"
"Canadians need to know what is happening and that their safety may be affected. We are launching this campaign after visiting more than forty correctional facilities during the past three weeks and receiving first hand accounts from our members," said Mallette. Postcards were distributed in the riding informing residents that correctional officers will be knocking on their door this Saturday. "We will continue to target Conservative MPs and make sure their constituents understand what is happening," Mallette went on to say.
About UCCO-SACC-CSN:
The Union of Canadian Correctional Officers represents 7,400 correctional officers working in Canada's 52 federal penitentiaries.
Note to media:
Representatives of UCCO-SACC-CSN from the various regions are available for interview in both official languages.

Join a small group of curious, like-mined travelers for the trip of a lifetime—an Antarctica cruise aboard the 116-passenger M.V. Sea Spirit. Antarctica is a place like no other in the world—a land of otherworldly icescapes, towering glaciers and amazing wildlife. Come explore it aboard our luxurious expedition vessel, exceptionally designed and outfitted to provide a safe and comfortable cruise to Antarctica.
Sea Spirit's ice-certified hull, maneuverability and small size allow her to pursue itineraries not possible aboard conventional cruise vessels. She boasts state-of-the-art navigation and communications equipment, and she meets all SOLAS safety at sea requirements for Antarctic cruises.
Embark in Ushuaia, Argentina. Just 600 miles to the southeast, across the Drake Passage, lies the Antarctic Peninsula. While this is not a great distance, the "White Continent" remains a world apart, a majestic last frontier. Our expedition cruises are scheduled at the height of the Austral summer season – December through February – when waterways are open to navigation and wildlife is most active.
To fully immerse our guests in the experience and take advantage of the many opportunities to view wildlife ashore, we utilize a fleet of inflatable Zodiac landing craft that can be deployed quickly from the back of the ship. While at the Peninsula, we attempt several landings per day, permitting you maximum exposure to the many wildlife species and huge penguin colonies that make their summer homes in this environment. Or, we use the Zodiacs and kayaks for exploration around stunning icebergs and floes where seals stretch out and seemingly pose for our cameras.
Our expedition leader and diverse team of polar specialists will guide you at landing sites and provide an informative program of onboard lectures, video presentations and discussions. Collectively, our team of naturalists, wildlife biologists, geologists and historians has been on hundreds of cruises to Antarctica, and they know the best locations for both scenery and wildlife. They look forward to sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with you, and are dedicated to providing the best Antarctic cruise experience possible.
They'll also ensure that our guests are able to explore this remote and fragile world in an environmentally responsible manner, leaving no mark on one of the last great-untrammeled regions on earth. Remember that the Sea Spirit's ability to visit specific landing sites during is dependent on weather and sea conditions, with day-by-day itinerary changes often dictated by nature. Ship movements and expedition landings are made at the discretion of the captain and expedition leader, with optimum wildlife viewing and passenger safety always the priority.
While Antarctic cruise cost is certainly an important consideration, Poseidon suggests that you think about another important point—the size of the ship on which you intend to travel.
Antarctic Treaty regulations dictate that no more than 100 passengers go ashore at a landing site at any given time. So, if your vessel plans to be at a landing site for three hours—and your ship holds 200, 300 or even more passengers—your potential time ashore will be reduced in order to accommodate all the passengers hoping to go.
In addition to the expeditionary elements that make Antarctic cruises so rewarding, Poseidon takes great care to ensure your comfort and well-being. The all-suite Sea Spirit is tastefully appointed with queen-size beds – or twins if you prefer – sofas, private facilities and thoughtful amenities. All staterooms have exterior views – many have large windows – and some of the suites feature private balconies. During your Antarctic cruise, enjoy delicious, freshly prepared meals from our internationally trained chefs.
We hope we've been able to give you some good reasons why Poseidon Expeditions is an excellent choice. We would be delighted to welcome you aboard!

Aldeburgh Festival 2015
Curated once more by world famous modernist pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Aldeburgh's line-up is heavy on contemporary and new music. Harrison Birtwistle returns with the world premiere of The Cure (12 – 15 Jun), a chamber opera that will appear in a double-bill with The Corridor before transferring to the Royal Opera House.
Chamber highlights look to include Quatuor Mosaîques (13 & 15 Jun), the 'world's leading period instrument quartet', in a pair of concerts that take in Beethoven, Haydn and Schubert; a collaborative evening between Aimard, composer George Benjamin and some of their favourite musicians (20 Jun); and Ensemble Organum's exploration of the exotic influences behind Renaissance polyphony (23 Jun). There will be solo recitals from countertenor Andreas Scholl (13 Jun), pianist Louis Lortie (22 Jun) and Aimard himself (27 Jun).
On a larger scale, there are several appearances from John Eliot Gardiner and his sainted Monteverdi Choir, including Mozart's Requiem (19 Jun) and some of Bach's motets (20 Jun) – for the latter, joined by violinist Isabelle Faust. In celebration of his 90th birthday, there will be a trio of concerts celebrating the music of Pierre Boulez (13 – 19 Jun). And Darcey Bussell will star in Britten's ballad The Prince of the Pagodas (23 Jun), before Oliver Knussen closes the festival with a combination of excerpts from the same piece and gamelan (28 Jun).
Alongside the big name events, there are numerous workshops, improvisations to film, talks, organised walks and an open air Ipswich appearance for Peckham's Multy-Story orchestra. If the classical music festival seems an inherently conservative idea, a place for elder statesmen to quaff champagne and run through old symphonic warhorses, Aldeburgh will prove you wrong.

Police officer no longer in critical condition after Salisbury attack
A detective who got caught up in the nerve agent attack in Salisbury is no longer in a critical condition.
Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, who was also part of the initial response to the incident, is conscious and in a stable condition, NHS England has said.
Sergei Skripal, the ex-Russian spy who was the target of the attack, and his daughter Yulia remain in a critical but stable condition after being exposed to a nerve agent.
All three patients are being treated in intensive care at Salisbury District Hospital.
Lorna Wilkinson, director of nursing at Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Today's news about the improvement in Sgt Bailey's health is very welcome.
"I want to take this opportunity to thank all our staff who've been working tirelessly to give outstanding care to him, as they do with all our patients.

I'm gay and in a relatioship with a guy. But i also like my friend so much that I see him in my dreams quite often... Sometimes i'm wondering if i should tell him about my feelings, but i also am afraid of losing him. That makes things so awkward that i pretend everything's fine. I know, first world problems. I am afraid of being hurt again.

Keep these dreams as fantasies. Cheating will not only harm everyone involved but will harm bystanders as well. While talking about how you feel is fine, don't act in such a way that you'd hurt others.

Fraser moves forward with project to install medians on Highway 40 despite objections of business owners
Updated May 18 with correction: A previous version of this story stated that drivers wouldn't be able to turn left from Highway 40 onto Eisenhower Drive. Drivers will be able to turn left onto Eisenhower, but not into the Shell Station.
The Fraser Board of Trustees voted to move forward with the Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project at their regular meeting Wednesday night, ordering town staff to push the project out to bid despite notable resistance from town residents.
The motion passed 5-2, with Mayor Pro-Tem Eileen Waldow and Herb Meyring representing the dissenting votes.
The Pedestrian Safety Improvement Project is meant to create a safer and more walkable downtown area by implementing traffic calming measures like medians, pedestrian refuge islands and raised landscape bumpouts. But the proposal is far from controversial, and more than a dozen Fraser residents arrived to voice their opinions on the project.
Perhaps the most passionate testimony was from Kim Hanna, owner of the Fraser Quickstop, who has been an open opponent to the project for weeks, particularly the proposed median on Eisenhower and Highway 40 that will effectively remove the double-left turn lane and create dedicated left turn lanes. This means that motorists will no longer be able to make a left hand turn into the Shell Station, a prospect that Hanna and other business owners in the area fear will be bad for business.
"Mine isn't the only business that's going to be affected," said Hanna. "You're going to slow people down, but they're not going to be able to turn left into the businesses…it's going to change the way people drive. Some people may decide they're coming in anyway, but others may decide they're just going to go to Granby or Winter Park."
Hanna also produced a petition opposing the project with more than 430 signatures. Other opponents to the project pointed to the "statistically insignificant" rate of accidents at the intersection.
Some, including members of the board, raised the idea of keeping the proposed medians on either end of town and removing the Eisenhower medians from the plan. But complications with the grants the town received from CDOT made the town hesitant to make changes.
The town received two grants from the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Safety Improvements Program and CDOT's Safe Routes to School Program totaling more than $1 million. The town's fear is that any adjustments to the medians could potentially result in the loss the Highway Safety Improvements grant, more than $400,000 dollars. And because both grants are part of a single intergovernmental agreement, the move could potentially risk both grants.
Several advocates for the project also spoke during the meeting, pointing to the necessity for improved safety measures, slowed traffic and more a pedestrian friendly downtown to support local businesses.
"As an adult I'm frightened to cross the street," said Barry Young, Fraser resident. "People are not driving 35 miles-per-hour. There's a boom going on in Granby right now, and a lot of cars are driving through Fraser. It's just going to get worse and worse in terms of cars coming by, and they're going fast. From a safety perspective I think this is really critical."
Others pointed to the aesthetics of the project as a major boon to the town.
"Fraser is ugly," said Patty Marshall. "But it could be charming. I think these proposals with the medians, flowers and sidewalks will make it much more charming."
Ultimately the board decided to move forward with the project, and voted to send it out to bid.
Fraser Valley Elementary
As part of the Safe Routes to School grant from CDOT, Fraser needed to implement an educational component for the project. Fourth graders from Fraser Valley Elementary stepped up to the plate and made recommendations for safety improvements near the school to the board.
Students came to school early to observe the parking lot, interviewed teachers and staff and surveyed parents to decide which initiatives could be most impactful for improving safety.
The students came up with three proposals. The first recommendation was to create two new crosswalks near the school's entrance, and to purchase a couple of crossing guard vests so that staff can help students and parents cross the parking lot more safely during the mornings and afternoons.
Second, the students recommended making a series of purchases including a solar-powered flashing stop sign that is easier to see at night and in inclement weather, a custom bike rack to encourage more students to bike to school, and a Spanish drop off sign to make sure everyone can read and understand the rules of the drop off line.
Finally, the students recommended putting together a parking lot safety brochure that would inform parents and community members of the new improvements and features in the parking lot.
Fraser MTB Fest
The town board approved a $20,000 expenditure to help fund the new Fraser MTB Fest, a three-day mountain bike festival coming to Fraser in the last weekend of July.
The event will feature the Colorado State Championships in dual slalom, as well as a dirt jump competition as the major spectator events. There will also be events for more novice riders to enjoy, according to Allie Heon, economic development specialist for the town. The festival will also include live music, food trucks, beer and spirits vendors and more.
Chris Olivier, manager of Ski Broker and owner of PlusSizeBMX LLC, is the managing entity for the festival.

Direct attach cables, or DAC, are cable assemblies that are terminated with connector modules (most commonly SFP+, XFP or QSFP+) at both ends. As such, DAC plug into the same ports as ordinary transceivers to support Ethernet and Fibre Channel (FC).
DAC are available in various lengths to suit customer need, but are often used in short reach interconnection applications where high bit rates are required such as within the data centre between servers, switches and storage. DAC can be found in inter-rack and intra-rack applications because they use the twinax format, which is the same as coax, but with two conductors instead of one.
DAC remain popular and are widely used in data centres globally because they offer cost and power savings, compared to alternatives.
What's the difference between active and passive DAC?
Passive and active DACs appear visually the same. However, there are a number of important differences:
- Active DAC contain electronics for signal conditioning, whereas passive DAC do not contain electrical components.
- Active DAC can perform certain active functions that previously took place inside the switch. In contrast, passive DAC do not consume power and are seen by the switch or device as a transparent transmission medium.
- Generally speaking, passive DAC operate over short distances (5m or under) and active DOC operate over longer distances (5m and over). This is due to the chip generally performing signal boosting and equalisation which means that the active cable can be longer.

Analysis: ROBBIE MUSAKUZI
THE recent relaunch of 'Make Zambia Clean, Green and Healthy' campaign has the potential if well executed to make the lives of ordinary Zambians better, especially if it targets to reduce the risks and vulnerability to hazards in urban and rural communities in Zambia.Risks and vulnerability to hazards which are the major causes of diseases or morbidity in the Zambian society.
Visiting local compounds and townships around the country, it is evident that there is a general loss of the causal relationship between clean, green and personal health in most Zambians. And that is why it is the hope of many Zambians that the 'Make Zambia Clean, Green and Healthy' campaign has drawn lessons and made implementation improvements from the decade long 'Keep Zambia Clean' campaign which was first launched in 2007 by late President Levy Mwanawasa (MHSRIP).
Those tasked to implement the 'Make Zambia Clean, Green and Healthy' campaign can seek guidance from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), and especially from a book published in 2004 called Living with Risk: A Global Review of Disaster Reduction Initiatives.
It provides guidance, policy orientation and inspiration and serves as a reference on how to reduce risk and vulnerability to hazards and disasters in societies throughout the world.
The intention UNISDR in publishing this book was for government experts and ordinary people to understand that natural and man-made hazards can affect anyone anywhere and that people are threatened by hazards because of their cultural, social, economic practices and environmental vulnerability.
If the relaunched campaign by Government is to succeed, it will have to target certain cultural, social, economic and environmental behaviours and practices in the people who create risks and vulnerability and work against a clean, green and healthy environment. This is the part that the Keep Zambia Clean campaign failed to take into consideration during its implementation. In the last three decades, Zambia as a country has had to deal with repeated and devastating disasters from droughts, floods and waterborne diseases due mainly to human made hazards where life has been lost and yet if certain measures had been implemented some of these disasters could have been avoided or mitigated.
Zambia is not the only country in the third world or developing countries because of the global effect that has launched the clean, green and healthy campaign and therefore it has several friendly countries around the world such as India from which to learn lessons and share ideas on how to make this campaign successful and be well integrated in future national development plans.
Disaster risk reduction through clean, green and healthy campaign concerns everyone in Zambia and not just some sections of society.
Some countries such as India have included education and literacy as part of the campaign with a premise that without education it is difficult to change the mindset of people on clean, green and health issues. For many generations, societies including the Zambian, have taught that personal cleanliness and hygiene is important but with very little emphasis on a clean, green and healthy environment.
From a tender age everyone is taught at home, community and school to bath regularly, brush teeth, wash clothes, beddings and sweep the house and drive clean and smart cars.
Government must therefore realise that it will again have to take education, financial resources and working with the print and electronic media to change the mindset of Zambians that a clean, green and healthy environment is just as important as personal health and hygiene.
Just as it has now become a norm in Zambia regardless of status and the economic situation to spend meagre personal financial resources on personal cleanliness and beauty in barbershops, salons and boutiques, the same attention needs to be given to the clean, green and healthy surrounding environment because the two are inextricably inter twined.
For the Zambian government, this campaign if sustainably driven with a full time secretariat which is a requirement to implement an important and successful campaign, it has the potential to reduce vulnerability and risks to hazards, protect the environment, save meagre resources that go into disaster management, reduce the national medical bill and free resources for other needy areas of national socio-economic development.
It is also important to note that the decision to relaunch the 'Make Zambia Clean, Green and Healthy' campaign was a wise decision and investment by President Lungu, the onus now remains on all Zambians to take ownership of this campaign and keep party politics away because the consequences of not reducing living with hazards in communities as was recently experienced in the cholera outbreak in Lusaka and other parts of the country is a serious disruption and functioning of communities, society and the nation and widespread human suffering, material and businesses losses which up to now for many has exceeded the ability to recover.

Zambians should own Clean, Green, Healthy campaign

App Taxi BarcelonaBarcelona Taxi App
When for some sake there aren't many cabs (Sunday mornings at 5am, for example, when they're all occupied bringing home people), even the app won't get you one.
Taxi's in Barcelona are black/yellow automobiles much more easily found than apps on a mobile phone. Immediately stopping any Barcelona taxi, whether it is connected to an app or not. Sometimes I order a taxi in anticipation, e.g. if I have to drive to the nearest taxi station at 5 o'clock in the morning.
Nothing other than the Uber of Barcelona.
By taxi in Barcelona
In Barcelona, you will find that you are lucky enough to have a wide range of transport possibilities. It is possible to go on foot, cycle, take the coach, take the underground or call a taxi. Although, if you ever find yourself in a place where you need to get to a place like the airports quickly, a taxi would be the best choice.
That' all you need to know about taking a taxi in Barcelona. Taxi in Barcelona are cheap. As a rule, you will be billed an introductory charge of 2.10 and then 1.03 per kilometre. Include 8-10% if you take a taxi on holidays and bear in mind that toll fees and supplements may be applicable.
Although they are based on a few charges, taxis in Barcelona are still more affordably priced than the USA. After looking at this Taxi Fare Finder table, which compared taxi fare averages from different Barcelona towns, I found that the mean Barcelona taxi fare is 16.23?. Go to the first taxi in line and they'll take you with them.
Or you can call one of the city's 20 taxi funk dispatcher centres. There are also a few taxi apartments in Barcelona that offer you the best rates, itineraries and communications. More than 000 taxi driver in different nationalities. My taxi can be used in 40 different Spanish towns, among them Madrid and Barcelona.
You can book a taxi 4 and a half nights in advanced with this app. The taxi's arriving is counted down. And you can also rate your riders and rescue those you've made friends with. The Side Taxi is similar to MyTaxi, but on a smaller scale. MyTaxi is a taxi. This is the offical app for La Asociacion de radio taxi de Espana (The Federation of Radiotaxis in Spain).
A further great thing is that you can book a taxi in advance. A taxi can be booked in the taxi reservation. Or you can collect a single taxi or split it with someone. If you can't evaluate your chauffeur, you can use the app to book a taxi 7 nights in advance and accept your payment card. Available in several Spanish towns, such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Palma, San Sebastian, Bilbao and Vitoria y Sabadell.
So if you just want to see how much it will take to get to your goal, I would recommend the Taxi Fare Finder. Estimate rates so they know the fare of your trip before you board. It'?s not a taxi business. If you ever forgot something in a taxi, there is one missing in the found number 902 101 564.

We are stoked at the rapid growth of our Saturday Beach Yoga classes held 8:30 a.m at Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach. We meet for a 60-minute hatha yoga sequence and brief meditation led by Abby Houck. 100% of any donations received benefit at-risk, local families in Merritt Island (see next month's newsletter for details). All levels, especially beginners and kids, are welcome.
Here are 3 reasons from students who already tried Saturday Beach Yoga:
- Mother Nature: "Really enjoyed the morning yoga class on the beach with the feel of the warm breeze, the sound of the soothing waves and the smell of the salt air! It was perfect!! My morning is complete!!! Thank you 🙏" – Ed O.
- Community: "Loved this class! Perfect start to a beautiful day! Thank you for doing this!!" – Liz L.
- Fun: "We had such a great time! … I loved doing yoga to the sound and smell of the ocean 🌊" – Heidi C.
If you haven't tried Beach Yoga yet, bring a blanket or large towel instead of a mat. You will also need sunscreen and a water bottle. Poses are slow since we practice on the sand versus a hard floor.
If Saturdays don't work for you, check our Online Calendar for other other community wellness options.

Lush Life in Ngorongoro
From Sarah:
Today, July 7, was our day to see the famous Ngorongoro Crater. It's a unique place - the world's largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. The crater wall is about 2,000 feet high, and the caldera's area is about 100 square miles. It's big enough to support huge herds of wildebeest and zebra, but compact enough that from anywhere inside, you can see that you are surrounded by a high, steep barrier. The name Ngorongoro is derived from an onomatopoeic Maasai word meaning "cowbell."
