Family activities in Leicester this Easter
Published on Monday, April 8, 2019
THERE'S lots going on in Leicester this April to keep kids of all ages busy during the Easter break.
The funfair's back in Abbey Park from Friday 12 April – and from Monday 15 April, the city council's sports and leisure facilities will be running a range of activities for children and young people.
There are swimming lessons and splash sessions for toddlers and families, while older children can have fun at a basketball camp at Evington leisure centre or try out their skills on the climbing wall at Leicester Leys.
Youngsters can make the most of the spring sunshine at Humberstone Heights golf course, where there are some special offers for the Easter holidays (12-28 April). For just £2.50, under 16s can enjoy a round of footgolf or a game of pitch and putt, plus a session on the driving range and on the putting green.
More information about Easter activities at Leicester's leisure centres is available at leicester.gov.uk/sport
Spring has also arrived at the city's museums, with lots of low-cost activities that children will enjoy.
On Monday 15 April, youngsters can create their very own Easter bonnet at Newarke Houses Museum. The fun runs from 11am-3pm, with storytelling, an Easter trail, and prizes for the best bonnet. A small charge of £3 will be made for activities.
Over at the Guildhall on Tuesday (16 April), Polkadot Pottery will provide pottery-painting fun for all ages. Choose a sheep, a bunny egg cup or an Easter chick, paint it, and then collect it when it's been glazed and fired in the kiln. The pottery painting activity costs £10. Please call the Guildhall on 0116 253 2569 for more information.
From Tuesday 16 until Thurs 18 April, artist Danielle Vaughan will be leading Easter craft sessions at New Walk Museum. Aimed at those aged 10-16, the sessions will run from 1pm-4pm and help those taking part to make some beautiful Easter-themed pictures.
Belgrave Hall & Gardens will be welcoming new born lambs, miniature Shetland ponies and – for the first time – alpacas on Wednesday (17 April) for its Easter Animals Fun Day. Enjoy a day in the beautiful gardens, with face painting, Easter trails and lots of craft activities from 11am for just £3.50 per child. Free parking is available.
On Thursday (18 April), youngsters can don their bunny ears and hop to the Guildhall for the museum's Easter Eggstravaganza. Enjoy craft activities and face painting from 11am until 3pm. £3 charge for activities.
On Good Friday (19 April), Leicester Cathedral and contributors from across the county will stage Leicester at the Cross. The event starts in Cathedral Gardens at 10am, before processing to the city centre.
There will be free chocolate eggs – while stocks last – for those shopping at Leicester Market on Easter Saturday (20 April) – while in Orton Square, Leicester's annual St George's Festival gets under way at 12 noon.
Kids can get messy with glitter and clay at the Guildhall on Thursday (25 April).
Youngsters can bring along a plain t-shirt or a glass jar and jazz them up with sequins at the museum's Glitter, Clay & Arty Party, which runs from 11am-3pm. £3 charge for activities.
There's a chance to look behind the scenes at Leicester's Abbey Pumping Station on Saturday 27 April, with a full guided tour of the areas not normally open to the public – and the opportunity to see the magnificent Gimson engines in steam.
Prior booking for Steam with the Team is required, and there's a charge of £5 per head. Please note that the route will include spiral staircases so the tour isn't suitable for those with mobility problems or for those aged under 12.

A Peaceful, Peace-Motivated City
The city of Hiroshima will forever be associated with the terrible day of August 6, 1945, when it became victim to the world's first-ever atomic bomb strike. It may surprise first-time visitors, then, that this once-destroyed industrial center has risen from the ashes and is now a lovely, anything-but-gloomy city that welcomes travelers and is very mindful of its role in helping promote a nuclear-free world. The Peace Memorial Park is a calm oasis in the midst of Hiroshima's bustling downtown area. Its museum, the nearby UNESCO-listed A-bomb Dome, and assorted memorials offer a wealth of information about the day of the blast, its victims, and the city's subsequent recuperation.
A very popular short boat ride to the south of Hiroshima takes you to the little island of Miyajima, famous for its "floating torii" (shrine gate). Especially at high tide, the gate with its surrounding Inland Sea scenery fulfills its label as one of the Top Three Most Beautiful Views in Japan. Miyajima is a romantic place to stay the night when the day-tripper crowds disperse and you can explore its many walking paths and make friends with the local wild deer.

Shares of Sprint Corp. (S) - Get Report are climbing, as markets digest what CEO Marcelo Claure described as "a big step forward in our turnaround," during a third-quarter earnings call on Tuesday. Sprint is one of three tech/telecom stocks in the Real Money index of 20 troubled companies. The others are 3D Systems Inc. (DDD) - Get Report and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) - Get Report , which are also moving higher in Wednesday trading.
Sprint, the Overland Park, Kan., wireless carrier gained 4 cents, or 1.3%, to $3.03 on Wednesday afternoon, after hitting $3.21 earlier in the day. Even with the backing of Masayoshi Son's Softbank Corp., Sprint has struggled to gain share in the U.S. wireless market. In the third quarter, Sprint reported its highest gains in post-paid subscribers in three years. Customer defections were down and Ebita was up. "We are not sure what more Sprint could do to push away the bears," Wells Fargo Securities LLC analyst Jennifer Fritzsche wrote in a Wednesday note. Despite the progress, Barclays Capital Inc. analyst Amir Rozwadowski wrote that Sprint needs to demonstrate that it can maintain its success with subscribers while cutting costs.
Shares of 3D Systems extended a week-long recovery as investors begin to believe the 3D printing equipment and services company may be able to become the company it wants to be -- not the company it is. The stock gained 4.7%, or 35 cents, to $7.78 after earlier reaching as high as $7.88. 3D executives want to rely more on organic growth and move away from the former strategy of expanding via acquisitions. But they must first find a face for the new approach: CEO Avi Reichental stepped down abruptly last October after leading the company for 12 years and a replacement has yet to be found. All the hype around 3D printers also hasn't yet led to the kind of growth 3D had hoped for and major players like Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) - Get Report are now in the game too. "We think it's possible that demand could stabilize in the back half of 2016 though we are not expecting a rapid recovery," wrote UBS analyst Steven Milunovich in a recent note.
Investors are trusting AMD after it said the second-half would be better than the first. The shares added 3.9%, or 8 cents to $2.15 and reached a high of $2.18. AMD is suffering from consumer disinterest in PCs but says its semi-custom chips for game console makers such as Microsoft Inc. (MSFT) - Get Report and Sony inc. (SNE) - Get Report will hit it bit. The company is also hoping to strengthen its troubling balance sheet with $320 million through the sale of its assembly and test manufacturing facilities in the first half. It had debt at the end of 2015 of $2.26 billion and cash of $785 million. Still, it's losing money - $660 million last year. "We continue to think the best place for investors to be is on the sidelines until we can get confidence in the second half revenue ramp and see a clear a path to profitability," wrote Webush Securities Inc. analyst Betsy Van Hees last week after the company released fourth-quarter earnings.

If you're thinking negative thoughts and don't feel like doing much or getting out and about, it's possible you are depressed. Though some may dismiss the significance of depression, it really can be devastating to sufferers. Read through this advice and you'll learn how to deal with depression.
Do not let your depression control your social life by keeping up with normal social outings and activities. You may not feel up to doing many things when you are feeling depressed, but it is important to maintain your friendships. However, it is very important to surround yourself with people you care about. Keep doing the typical activities you do. If you don't do what you normally would, you will just exacerbate your condition.
If you're depressed, try changing your thinking patterns. When you think about yourself, consider whether you are being more harsh with yourself than you would be with others. If you wouldn't, you are likely being too hard on yourself. Work on reframing such concerns in a positive manner focused on problem-solving.
If your depression is mild, you could try over-the-counter medication. Two simple products you may want to try are grape juice or St. St. Johns Wart is known for having a healthy impact on mental welfare. It can be less expensive and addictive than traditional pharmaceuticals.
Meditation can bring you relief and give you peace of mind and a new perspective. Meditation has proven effects and helps to lower blood pressure, release tension and boost your mood.
Your dietary habits are capable of playing a large role in causing depression. If you are consuming the wrong things, it will change the way you think and perhaps launch you in a depression spiral. Keep away from foods that are high in fat and stick with a healthy diet.
If you know what is depressing you, avoid it. For instance, if you have negative thoughts about being out of shape, you should do whatever is necessary to prove those thoughts are wrong. You can get a gym membership and begin exercising on a regular basis.
If a friend or relative suffers from depression, it is critical that you remain supportive. You need to offer them comfort and positive reinforcement. Learn all you can about the condition so you can offer them assistance.
Take any prescriptions exactly as you were instructed by your doctor. Don't take less or more than what your physician tells you, and don't stop taking it without talking your doctor, as it can be dangerous. Frequently it is necessary to slowly wean patients off of anti-depressants; stopping them suddenly can have negative consequences.
Make sure you take your anti-depressants at a given time each day and it is recommended that you do so in the morning. This will turn taking your medication into habit and you will be less likely to forget to swallow your pills. If you take your medicine in the AM, you will be better able to work throughout your day.
Depression is essentially a mood disorder, so some medical professionals treat it less seriously than they should. If you suffer from this condition, it can be very difficult. Use the tips provided here to start your journey toward a happier state of being.

In this article you will learn to us OAuth2 and Open ID Connect in an ASP.NET Core Application to authenticate your users. OAuth2 is the gold-standard protocol for authorization and used by most of the organization nowadays. Open Id Connect sits on top of the OAuth2 protocol and provides an extra identity layer. You can learn more about those two standards on their official homepage – linked above.
In this tutorial we will use Auth0 as our authentication server, but you can use any other authentication service of your choice. If you have any extra needs or want to host the authentication server by yourself you may want to consider using Identity Server. Identity Server is made for .NET applications and it is open source – so you can dive deep in the actual implementation.
The source code and a working prototype is available on my Github page. You only have to adapt the appSettings file with your keys. I would also recommend to use OData when providing an API. You can find a guide to achieve this here.
Deciding the Authorization Grant Type
OAuth2 actually has many different ways of granting access. You can find all below.
I would strongly suggest to use the Authorization Code Grant Type whenever it is possible. It is by far the most secure way – since everything is handled in the backend. In this tutorial we'll use exactly this type to get authenticated.
Should you consider to use the Implicit flow read the official statemant from the OAuth2 standard:
"It is generally not recommended to use the implicit flow (and some servers prohibit this flow entirely)." (source)
Adding Authorization to an ASP.NET Core Application
At first we are going to add the Open Id Connect and Cookie handler to our Application. For this purpose we are adding code to the ConfigureServices method within the Startup.cs file.
The next step is to add the Authentication Middleware within the Configure Method in our Startup.cs file.
And that's it, you have configures Open Id Connect and OAuth2 with Cookie based Authentication and Auth0. But you guessed it, we have to used it as well.
Login and Logout
To Challenge the Login you simply have to call the ChallengeAsync Extension Method on the HttpContext object. Usually you will do this on an dedicated Account (or any other name is fine as well) Controller. In our Sample we use an AccountController who has two endpoints called Login and Logout.
The ChallengeAsync method has two parameters – the Authentication Provider we have before configured and a AuthenticationProperties object. The first parameter should match the value in .AddOpenIdConnect("Auth0"… and the second is used to pass a return Url to redirect the user after a login when a specfic resource is requested. This resource could be any protected resource or path in your application (e.g. https://yourdomain.com/user).
The Logout should only be accessible to users who are authenticated. For this purpose we are decorating the Logout method with an Authorize attribute. In our case we are redirecting to a specific url when the user got logged out.
The same Authorize attribute should be used when you want to protect your API calls, but don't forget that Authorization says nothing about Authorization.
Using Authorization in any ASP.NET Core Application is simple and should no one hold back to use it. It's also fairly easy to add this functionality later on.
If you have any further questions or additions please use the comment box below.
Happy authenticating :):

Ever since the presidential election, people have been wondering how Trump could have won. And it's the same in the United Kingdom: how did the country vote in favour of Brexit?
The answer, according to researchers at Queensland University of Technology in Australia, is fear and anger.
The first-of-its-kind study analyzed the personality traits of millions of US and UK voters through an online test. Although personality traits haven't really influenced voters before, it seems these elections were different.
Both campaigns were heavily fear-based, populist movements. This means that people who have traditionally neurotic personalities are more likely to vote for the option that offers a means to lessen that fear.
The researchers found that in places that have a lot of psychological hardship, voters were particularly likely to respond to political campaigns based on fear.
They also found that this sort of voting is shaping the global political landscape, since populism is becoming a lot more popular among campaigns, and this plays to people's fears.
Also, the results of the two elections were largely dictated by voters that were suffering from both emotional and economic problems.
Long story short: fear works, and we're likely to be seeing more of it.

It's that time of year when the evenings are getting longer and you're not coming home from work in the dark. As much as I love winter and the way it transforms the landscape, summer brings with it a longer window in which to go exploring.
Work and a young family now mean that the days of heading out to the mountains on a whim have gone. However, summer evenings and some choice routes mean that mini-adventures can be had after work or once the kids have been sorted. One of my favourites is the Y Garn loop.
The route for Y Garn from carpark to summit takes around 90 mins and coming in at 4 miles in total, it's a short but rewarding walk that's perfect to tackle of an evening or when a full day out isn't possible.
The walk begins at the Ogwen Visitor Centre and takes you up to Llyn Idwal.
While this loop can be tackled one of two ways, I always prefer the clockwise route as it avoids the loose scree climb but more-so provides one of my favourite descents in Snowdonia. At the lake, take a left and follow the path along its edge and the new bridge will take you over the stream.
The next section takes you up Devil's Kitchen; a rocky and not always obvious route that requires some scrambling in places. Don't be put off by the ominous name of this part as it's a fairly straight-forward climb. Once at the top of Devil's Kitchen, you'll come to a stone wall with a stile with some incredible views back towards Pen yr Ole Wen and the Carneddau.
Continue over the stile and upwards until you reach a tarn called Llyn y Cwn. Follow the path around its right side and over on your right you'll see two paths heading upwards to the summit of Y Garn.
The more central path is the most direct while the one on the right takes you along the edge and up to the summit. The summit itself is a cairn shelter and is a perfect spot for tea and watching the last of the day's sun creep over Tryfan and the Glyders before heading down.
The descent is a straight forward but striking route that takes you down towards Cwm Idwal with views towards Anglesey and the Irish sea to the West.
If you follow the path round the edge of the lake, you'll come back to the path that leads you back down to the Visitor Centre.
Things of Note for Y Garn
Ability: Medium
Facilities – The Visitor Centre provides a wide range of excellent facilities, including toilets, baby changing room and a shop selling warm food and drinks. The shop takes card and contactless payments which is handy as the nearest cash machine is some distance away. The carpark is fairly small and can fill up very quickly but those unable to find a space generally park on the wide pavements on the adjacent road.
Time – 2.5 to 3 hours is ample time to do the loop but factor in an extra hour if you're going to stop for photos/eat at the summit cairn.
Access – Not buggy or wheelchair friendly. While not too difficult, the Devil's Kitchen section may not be suitable for very young children.
Dogs – It's a route where I've seen lots of people take their dogs, but the rocky nature of Devil's Kitchen may not make it suitable for all dogs. Owners are requested to keep dogs on a lead on low level ground as there are often goats, sheep and horses roaming in this area.

Strategic Approach to Standards Needed, Nation's Health Informatics Experts Say
In comments submitted to Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) called on the federal government to update and enhance the Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap. The nation's experts in health informatics also urged ONC to support a more robust, modern testing infrastructure for health IT standards.
These comments were offered in response to a September call from the ONC, which sought comments on its Interoperability Standards Advisory (ISA) in preparation for publication of the 2018 Reference Edition. AMIA recently developed Policy Principles and Positions related to Health IT Data Standards & Interoperability, and used these to assess the larger landscape of health IT standards as represented by the ISA.
"AMIA appreciates the efforts made by ONC to have an open conversation regarding the current state of biomedical data standards," the group said in comments. "In particular, the annual ISA process has given stakeholders a chance to discuss and debate the current state of standards for specific use cases. While recent enhancements to the content and presentation of the ISA have improved the capacity for stakeholder debate, there remains a need for unbiased, strategic leadership on the current status and future direction of health IT standards. We believe this leadership is best derived from private sector experience, with public investment and convening."
Using its Health IT Data Standards & Interoperability Principles and Positions to assess the ISA, AMIA did not critique individual standards or sections of the standards catalogue. Rather, AMIA developed recommendations that are "important to ensure that any standards referenced in the ISA will be used consistently and prudently towards the goal of interoperability."
Specifically, AMIA called on ONC to establish a dedicated roadmap for standards, including development of a framework for how multiple standards should fit together to support interoperability for important, national uses cases, and the broader health IT ecosystem, which will include research and consumer products. The organization pointed towards the Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap as a starting point to enhance our national health IT strategy.
"Innovation depends on interoperability, and interoperability depends on the use of quality standards," said Douglas B. Fridsma, MD, PhD, FACP, FACMI, AMIA President and CEO. "To make the ISA impactful we need an overarching framework, similar to the Internet Protocol stack. Once established, this standards framework will enable the private sector to innovate in all directions."
"For the past several years we've made tremendous progress on health IT standards, which has had a significant impact on patient care," said Thomas Payne, MD, FACP, FACMI, AMIA Board Chair and Medical Director of IT Services at the University of Washington's UW Medicine. "But now we must learn from lessons past, and take a more intentional approach to how we develop standards, test standards, and combine standards for implementation and use."
Another aspect of our current health IT standards landscape involves whether and how standards are tested, AMIA said. "Thorough testing remains an unrealized aspect of our nationwide approach to standards," the group said in comments. "Very few standards undergo rigorous testing at the development-level or at the implementation-level. Both are critical if interoperability is to occur."
AMIA noted that ONC's Certification Program has relied on conformance testing – testing whether systems use a specific standard – not true interoperability testing, which would test both the sending and the receiving of information. "In our experience," AMIA said, "this is a daunting problem that warrants prompt attention from ONC and standards development organizations."
Lastly, AMIA advocated for public support for standards development. "As a foundational principle, AMIA believes that health IT interoperability provides an enormous positive impact on society. Thus, AMIA recommends adequate funding for the development, management, testing, and maintenance of HIT standards, as well as the SDOs that create them. Sufficient and sustained investment by the federal government is necessary for interoperability to be achieved nationwide."

Foreign fast food chains in Vietnam are some of the most famous in the world, but many of them have had to leave or close some of their shops in the country.
Several Burger King shops in HCMC and Da Nang have closed, while Lotteria has also shut down ineffective shops. Other giants have not closed many of their shops, but they are cautious developing their chains.
McDonald's, when setting foot in Vietnam, stated it would open 100 shops within 10 years. However, after three years in Vietnam, the giant has opened only 15 shops.
A representative of Lotteria admitted that competition in the fast food market is getting stiff with many foreign and domestic brands.
Some brands have shut down shops because their menus were not suitable to Vietnamese tastes and the prices were not competitive.
Nguyen Huy Thinh, managing director of McDonald's, said it was normal for fast food brands to shut down unprofitable shops, while a representative from Burger King said the chain's business has been going well with a two-digit growth rate.
However, Hoang Tung, a branding expert, blames the failure of some fast food chains on the difference between the food and Vietnamese tastes.
Burger King, for example, develops products based on burgers as the core product.
"Vietnamese still prefer banh my (sandwich) and banh my is cheaper than a burger," Tung said. "This is why the burger chain expansion has slowed down, while banh my chains have been booming."
Tran Anh Tuan, CEO of Pathfinder, a consultancy firm, also said that some fast food chains are not positioned well in the domestic market, and products don't change regularly. And the price is too high compared to consumers' income.
"Fast food, in foreign countries, is generally for the masses. But in Vietnam, fast food chains target high-income earners," he explained.
Fast food… and rice
While western-style fast food chains are not thriving, Vietnamese and Asian food brands are doing well.
Anh from Pathfinder said that many Japanese and Korean food chains have appeared in which are closer to Vietnamese tastes.
"Korean fried chicken chains have been developing rapidly because they have reasonable prices and fit Vietnamese tastes," he said.
In the past, only a few fast food chains sold Vietnam rice, but now it is a major dish on menus.
MOIT has granted licenses to 148 foreign brands to enter the Vietnamese market in the last eight years.
This includes 42 fast food, bakery, coffee, beverage and restaurant brands, accounting for 43.7% of the total.

Shirt || Shorts, pants cut into shorts || Flannel || Purse, also love || Rings || Bracelets || Lipstick || Necklace || Shoes ||
I love dressing up but sometimes I feel so chill that I cant bring myself to dress to the nines, ya know? It just wouldnt go well with my character that day. Do you guys ever have that feeling? Something I do to make sure my chill day outfits still look chic are to over accessorize with minimal looking jewelry, keeping it simple yet over stacked. I pair the look with a super fancy purse and some very girly flats. However, there are those times where I just straight up go out in yoga pants/sweatpants. My guilty pleasure is probably going to the movie theater with a huge tub of popcorn, extra butter… obviously! and watch the movie all snuggled up in sweatpants, I am that annoying person that puts their feet on the chair in front of me or lay all over the person I go to the movie with LOL I cant help it I'm a snuggler! Luckily Jord doesnt mind if I lay all over him, at least that is what he says… sweet guy! That is what we did over the weekend, date night in our sweat pants, I make him wear sweat pants too so we can look ridiculous together! haha

Touching down in their ministerial jets or disembarking from their battered buses, the delegates and activists converging on the Peruvian capital knew that reaching an agreement would not be easy.
Even before the climate change talks began in Lima, they were contentious, with all sides drawing their battle lines.
As representatives from 190 countries, accompanied by over 4,000 representatives from NGOs, sat down inside the stiflingly hot tents inside the grounds of "El Pentagonito", or little Pentagon – the brutalist concrete military base in Lima – the difficulty was clear.
Could the delegates agree to keep the world on track for a deal next year in Paris? Who would take the hit? And what should each country promise to do?
The United Nations says that to avoid "dangerous" climate change, the global temperature must not rise more than 2C above pre-industrial levels.
But the measures needed to stick to that limit are extreme: in practice it requires an end to the burning of coal, oil and gas before the end of this century, unless new technologies can be developed to capture their emissions.
"We have built our world on fossil fuels and we are trying to get rid of the fossil fuels. It's massive," said Ed Davey, the Energy Secretary.
On Saturday night the talks even looked on the brink of collapsing.
The main talks had been postponed, as leaders said there was "no consensus". Behind the scenes frantic efforts began to reach some token agreement. But no one was optimistic, given the complexity of the negotiaions and the kaleidescope of competing factions.
In one corner stand the wealthier nations, among whom the United States has played an uncharacteristic leading role, urging all countries to accept the draft now on the table.
In the other stand the developing countries, led by China and India, who rejected a draft deal on Saturday because it did not require the wealthy nations to help their poorer neighbours cut emissions and adapt to climate change. The Pacific island state of Tuvalu, African nations and OPEC oil exporters all rejected the draft.
But even amid the developing nations, there were factions: some of the most vulnerable countries, such as the Marshall Islands, are unhappy that the big polluters like China and India would not be forced to do more to cut their own emissions.
Despite fears that the talks were falling apart, Britain sought to play down the gulf between the delegations.
"We're still quietly confident a deal will be reached but frankly it's not surprising there's been a delay given the scale and complexity of the deal being prepared for Paris," a spokesman for Mr Davey said
And in the midst of the melee some argue that the man-made extent of climate change has been exaggerated, and that it is partially due to natural cycles.
But over pisco sours, the talk at the bar created in the centre of the gleaming white pavilions was all about whose responsibility it was to curtail their own behaviour.
Todd Stern, the American climate change envoy, urged delegates "not to lose sight of what is at stake here" – despite his country being the focus of much of the anger of poorer nations.
The Marshall Islands – the low-lying atoll in the Pacific, which is one of the most at-risk countries from rising sea levels – criticised "neighbouring" Australia, saying its neglect of small island states was almost "criminal".
"Australia is a Pacific Island state and a driver and shaker of everything that happens in the Pacific – and it is not normal for it to take such a different view of climate change," Tony de Brum, the Marshall Islands foreign minister, said.
From Bolivia came the accusation from Rene Orellana, their delegate, that rich countries, including the United States, have "an attitude of shirking the responsibility of the provision of finance."
He said that the wealthier nations should do more to assist with technology transfer to poor nations.
And from Russia – whose economy is deeply dependent on oil and natural gas production – came defiance.
"Unfortunately, again and again, we step on the same rakes," said an exhausted Oleg Shamanov at 4am on Saturday, after a fraught negotiating session broke up.
He added that Russia, was already working on its plan to cut emissions, pointedly claiming it was one of the few countries doing so.
By late on Saturday night, the talks were hanging on a knife-edge – they were meant to conclude on Friday, but continued to run even as the pavilions were being dismantled around the delegates.

In private many of the delegates grumbled that they were missing their planned trips to Machu Picchu, while in public NGOs berated the delegates for their failure.
Christian Aid condemned the organisers for presiding over a "shambles".
And Jan Kowalzig, policy adviser for Oxfam, said the failure to agree a deal was keeping "the world headed down a treacherous road towards extreme warming".
He added: "The ingredients for some progress in Lima are on the table, but negotiators need to have the courage to use them."
For veterans of these annual summits, delays and unsatisfactory outcomes are to be expected: after all, the talks have now been going on without achieving their ultimate goal for some 22 years.
At the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 the United Nations agreed to the "stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system".
The agreed science is clear: avoiding "dangerous" climate change requires warming to be kept within 2C above pre-industrial levels.
But more than two decades on, and few seem confident that this is close to being achieved. UN scientists say the world has already warmed by 0.85C and on current trends is set for 4C warming by the end of the century, as burning fossil fuels pumps carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Even if tough EU green targets and recent pledges by the US and China are adhered to, the world will still hit 3C warming, according to independent scientists at Climate Action Tracker. Such warming would bring extreme floods and droughts, conflicts and displacement, the UN warns.
John Kerry, the US Secretary of State delivered an impassioned plea to the summit on Thursday.
"It was in Rio, as far back as 1992, when I heard the secretary-general declare, 'Every bit of evidence I've seen persuades me that we are on a course leading to tragedy,' he said. 'This is 2014, 22 years later, and we're still on a course leading to tragedy'."
Ironically, the conference has remained overtly reliant on fossil fuels, in the form of diesel generators. The talks are taking place in a vast temporary village constructed on the site of the Peruvian military headquarters.
Organisers rejected powering the village with solar panels on the grounds they were too unreliable, while efforts to hook the site up to the national grid – which is half-fed by renewable energy – failed due to technical problems.
Experts say the Lima talks will have the biggest carbon footprint of any UN conference to date at more than 50,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
As well as the diesel generators, the footprint has been enlarged by the jet fuel burned by the estimated 11,000 people who flew in from abroad to attend – including roughly 4,000 from non-governmental organisations – as well as the emissions from the fleet of coaches that crawl through Lima's gridlocked streets to shuttle delegates to and from the venue.
Despite the ostensibly simple aims, agreement has been anything but, owing to a potent combination of deeply bureaucratic processes and the fundamental disagreements among delegates.
An initial dozen-page draft text had by the second week ballooned to more than 50 pages as countries added their rival submissions, while not a single paragraph was actually agreed.
Despite frustration at the slow progress, Mr Davey was insistent that the talks were worthwhile.
"It probably the most complicated deal that's ever been attempted," he admitted.
And on Saturday night it was looking possible there would be no agreement at all.
The despondency was summed up by Prakash Javadekar, negotiator for India. "We are disappointed," he said, angered at wealthy nations' refusal to give more money to assist their poorer counterparts. "It is ridiculous."

Wealth is one of the biggest trials for the mankind. All worldly things are a trial for mankind (including wealth, businesses, families, careers etc.). Majority of the problems challenging the world are because of trail (fitnah) of money. If we go back to the times of our beloved Prophet and his noble companions, we see that their approach towards wealth was in stark contrast to what is the approach of Muslims (and others) nowadays. It is a matter of grave concern. For those who are not clear about the rulings of Islam regarding wealth, and for those who are aware but need to be reminded. We should know what Islam says about wealth, with a special emphasis on whether a Muslim is supposed to accumulate wealth or spend it.
Allah says: "Verily! We have made that which is on earth as an adornment for it, in order that We may test them (the mankind) as to which of them are best in deeds."Quran Surah Al-Kahf 18:7
A. About spending the wealth
Islam emphasizes that its followers spend their wealth. Allah says: "O you who believe! Spend of that which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining, nor friendship, nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the Zalimun." Quran Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:254
This ayath from Qur'an tells us that a Muslim should spend his/her wealth in this life. The amassed wealth shall be of no benefit for a person on the 'Day of Judgement'; it is only the wealth that a Muslim spends that shall benefit him/her on that 'Day'.
A.1. What to spend; Where and on whom to spend?
The next obvious question is what and where to spend. Let us take these two questions separately.
A vast majority of Muslims is of the view that they pay Zakat and hence they fulfill the obligation of spending their wealth. This is a perverted view. There is something more than Zakat. Even after having paid Zakat, there is an obligation on each and every Muslim to spend more in the Way of Allah. This is essential for equality and justice to prevail in Muslim society. On these guidelines, the answer to 'What to spend' is found in following ayath of Qur'an: "And they ask you what they ought to spend. Say: That which is beyond your needs. Thus Allah makes clear to you his laws in order that you may give thought." Quran Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:219
Therefore, whatever remains with us after taking care of our needs and those of our dependents (and after paying Zakat), is recommended to be spent. The answer to 'Where to spend' is: Spend it in the Way of Allah, in the Cause of Allah. Spending in the Way of Allah is called Infaq-fi-Sabeelillah. There are many ways which can ensure that our spending is in the Way of Allah. Let me highlight some points in this context: a) Support own families; b) Support relatives who are financially weak; c) Support orphans; d) Support other poor people; e) Support Muslim organizations who are devoted to Daawah; g) Support people who are new to Islam; h) Perform Hajj as soon as one is financially and physically capable of; All these categories of expenditure, when done with an intention of pleasing Allah, end up as Infaq-fi-Sabeelillah. However, there is a priority list defined by Allah: "They ask you, [O Muhammad], what they should spend. Say, "Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.." Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:215
It is important that we spend our wealth on people in the order of priority as mentioned above in the ayath.
A.2. Spending in the Way of Allah is the best trade.
This is for those who are too busy in their businesses and find no time to give a thought about spending in the Way of Allah. Allah calls such people to His way, attracting their attention by means of providing them the best trade possible. "O you who have believed, shall I guide you to a transaction that will save you from a painful punishment?" "[It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you should know." Quran Surah As-Saff, 61:10-11
Allah assures that whoever spends in His Cause, He shall bless His wealth. Such a person shall experience manifold increase in his/her wealth, up to seven hundred times. Refer to following ayath: "The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.Quran Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:261
Where can we find such a beneficial trade where the profit (of such magnitude) is guaranteed?
A.3. Wealth's role in attaining Al-Birr
Al-Birr means righteousness. Refer to this glorious ayath of Qur'an:
"It is not Al-Birr (righteousness) that you turn your faces towards east and / or west (in prayers); but Al-Birr (righteous) is one who;
1. Believes in
a) Allah
b) The Last Day
c) The Angels
d) The Book (Qur'an)
e) The Prophets.
2. Gives his / her wealth, inspite of love for it,
a) To the kinsfolk
b) To the orphans
c) To Al-Masakin (the poor people)
d) To the wayfarer
e) To those who ask
f) To set the slaves free.
3. Performs As-Salat
4. Gives Zakat
5. Fulfill their covenant when they make it (meaning: to keep promises)
6. Are patient in extreme poverty & hardship and during battles.
Such are the people of truth and they are the righteous (Al-Muttaqun)". Quran Surah Al-Baqarah 2:177
This explains that there is something more than just paying Zakat that comes under Infaq-fi-Sabeelillah. And the significance or weightage of spending the wealth in context of righteousness is established by following aayah: "By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, Allah's reward), unless you spend of that which you love; and whatever of good you spend, Allah knows it well." Quran Surah A'le-Imran, 3:92
A.4. Wealth's role in qualifying for getting Allah's guidance
"As for him who gives (in charity etc.) and have Taqwa (or fear Allah)," "And believes in Al-Husna." "We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness)." Quran Surah Al-Layl, 92: 5-7
The first important characteristic that Allah looks for in an individual (to guide him/her to right path) is the tendency of spending / giving of his/her wealth, resources etc. to others who are needy. For example: Whenever such a person sees someone hungry and if he at that time has something with him that can help in satisfying the hunger of the needy, he will do it without fail. Similarly, if such a person comes across anyone who is in dire straits and need financial help badly, he doesn't think twice while spending his wealth to help the needy. This trait is known as Atā.
A.5. Spending of wealth should not be for show-off and one should not boast of it publicly.
"O you who believe! Do not render in vain your charity by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a little dust; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. And Allah does not guide disbelieving people." Quran Surah Al-Baqarah, 2: 264
Therefore, whatever we spend in the Way of Allah should be purely for the sake of Allah; we should not boast about our spending every now and then. There should be no show-off of the spending. All this is prohibited. These things make all the charity deeds go in vain.
A.6. Spending should be done whole-heartedly.
A Muslim is ought to spend whole-heartedly for the sake of Allah. One should not be a niggard (a miser), for Allah does not likes a niggard. Allah says: "Behold! You are those who are called to spend in the Cause of Allah, yet among you are some who are niggardly. And whoever is niggardly, it is only at the expense of his own self. But Allah is Rich and you are poor." Quran Surah Muhammad 47:38
This ayath warns the misers that their miserliness is not going to have any effect on Allah, because Allah does not need any support from anyone, he is Rich. In fact, their miserliness shall be their own loss, for they shall be deprived of the blessings and rewards they were to get had they spent the same. It is we, the mankind, who is in need of Allah's blessings.
B. About accumulating (and not spending) the wealth
Islam discourages amassing wealth. There are several aspects which explain this. Let us go through them one-by-one.
B.1. Attachment to wealth leads to Fisq as well as Shirk.
Say, [O Muhammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and Striving in His cause, then wait until Allah executes His command. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."Quran Surah Al-Taubah 9:24
This beautiful ayath is absolutely clear about its message. This is how wealth may lead a person towards Fisq. Love for wealth also leads to a type of 'Shirk', known as 'Shirk-fil-Mahabbah'.
B.2. There is no concept of savings in Islam
There is a general concern: At the end of the day, all we earn is spent; there is no saving. Why are we out of our country if we cannot save? We are not able to achieve the aim which we are here for. Some have a tendency of setting a goal of saving at least a pre-determined amount of money from their earnings, no matter what happens.
This mindset needs to be changed. It is true that Islam is against useless expenditure, and every spendthrift shall be held accountable for that. Therefore, we have to be cautious that we do not simply throw away the hard earned money in a spending spree. A Muslim is supposed to spend his/her wealth in the Way of Allah. Give it a thought about how can one justify having saved millions with him and on the other hand one of his brothers/sisters does not have enough to feed himself and his dependants properly for even one time.
Therefore Islam promotes a balance; do not waste the wealth mindlessly, save it for genuine expenditure. In fact, the problem starts when the sole ambition becomes saving money. We earn and accumulate wealth with a sole criterion of saving for future; keeping the money idle in bank accounts, gold and silver beautifying the vaults; and soothing his/her nafs regularly by enjoying the gradual growth in accumulated wealth. This is prohibited in Islam. Refer to following: "Woe to every slanderer and backbiter; "Who has gathered wealth and counts it." Quran Surah Al-Humazah 104: 1,2
These glorious ayaths of Qur'an warn against saving the money and seeing it grow day by day. We have already talked about spending whatever is beyond our needs in Section A.1 above. Therefore, a Muslim should not aim for savings. However, after spending on all due requirements in the Way of Allah, if still something remains, it is absolutely fine to keep it for himself and his dependants (children etc.).
B.3. If not spent, wealth leads to misguidance.
"But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient,""And belies Al-Husna." "We will make smooth for him the path for evil." Quran Surah Al-Layl 92:8-10
Bakheelor miser is a person who keeps his wealth close to his heart and does not spend (on others). Whenever he comes across any needy person, he will ignore him; the love and attachment to his wealth does not let him spend it on the needy or on any noble cause. This characteristic is called Bukhl. The ayaths mentioned above tell us that the first trait of a person which leads to misguidance is Bukhl.
B.4. The worst scenario
So far we talked about amassing wealth by mankind in general. Now let us get a bit specific. There are two influential classes in every society that have a big influence on the values, ethics, traditions etc. of the society: The Leaders and The Scholars. There is a third group also which is common to these two main groups: The main followers of these two. However, we shall consider the two main classes only as they are the major ones and cover the third class as well.
If the leaders and scholars of any society are honest and pious, the society tends to be good. Honesty prevails, justice prevails and people live peacefully. But if these two classes are corrupt, the society gets corrupt. The effects of this are not limited to a person or two, or a family or two, rather the effects are big.
Let us go through this ayath from Qur'an in this context: "O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the 'Ahbar'(Scholars) and 'Ruhban'(monks) who devour wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder from the way of Allah; And those who hoard up gold and silver and spend them not in the way of Allah, announce unto them a painful torment." Quran Surah At-Taubah, 9:34
This ayath warns against the corrupt scholars and misguided worshippers. Such scholars sell the religion in return for worldly gains, using their positions and status among the people to illegally devour wealth. They also confuse truth with falsehood and pretend before their ignorant followers that they call to righteousness. The true reality is that they call to painful punishment.
Success of a person nowadays is judged by the amount of wealth he has amassed. You may be highly educated, extremely good-valued, ethically and morally correct, but if you are not wealthy, society (including your own relatives) considers you as a failure. Whereas, a corrupt, dishonest & unethical person may enjoy high regards in society because of the wealth he/she has accumulated. A marriage proposal for one's daughter now depends on the financial status of the groom-to-be. Parents are reluctant to give their daughters to guys who are not so high in terms of financial status. But the moment a proposal comes from a wealthy family, the parents try to ignore all other requirements that need to be judged for giving the hand of their daughter to the guy. Parents go gaga about high status and wealthy achievements of their kids. The whole concept has gone perverted.
But be careful; money is the biggest fitnah on the earth. Man's love for money never ends, even till death; and it may lead to disastrous consequences for man, in this life as well as in the Hereafter. Therefore, it demands caution, extreme caution. The best way of succeeding against the fitnah of wealth is to spend it. Allah promises great reward to those who spend in His cause. Allah says: "Those who spend their wealth (in Allah's Cause) by night and day, in secret and in public, they shall have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." Quran Surah Al-Baqarah 2:274
We see that at every stage, Allah encourages spending the wealth. And it should be spend whole-heartedly for the sake of Allah. Another concern that needs to be highlighted is that many of us keep earning money, but we do not give a thought towards performing Hajj. Plenty of Muslims can be seen busy in their lives, building beautiful homes, buying chunks of lands, real estates, businesses, but absolutely no thought of going to Hajj.

by John Larson, correspondent, PBS
Note taking for me has always been defined by deadline — the tighter it is, the more my notes tend to reflect immediate needs: the in/out cues of the best potential quotes, the most important facts/statistics that I'll need RIGHT NOW. I needed to make sure I'd have the quotes I'd need without even looking at the media. (I used to sync the camera with my watch during extremely tight deadline press conference, so time code would be time of day. There are now software packages that will do the same thing.)
If I have a little room to breathe, my notes reflect how I think the story might best be told: you'll see rough outlines suggesting the beginning, middle and end of the story, and the best, rough sentences that occur to me during the gathering process. And ideas for a standup bridge – if necessary.
I often organize my story by using a list of boxes, representing the best video moments/settings/bites — matched with whatever information I may want to share within each "box." For example, a story about airport landing fees/taxes might have a box for an amazing shot of 747 landing over our heads, coupled with a statistic: 32 foreign flights land in American airports every second of every working day. Then there will be another box representing a interview with a Federal Tax Policy Specialist, etc. I started organizing stories this way from the very beginning, and I realize now it reflected my interest in writing from and for whatever video I had, instead of the other way around.
As a television journalist I often have a video backup of many interviews, so that relieves the pressure of note taking if my deadline is not tight. In local news, I always had a tape recorder that I would use for every interview. As a national magazine correspondent, I almost never needed a tape recorder — the deadlines were far enough away that we would have complete written transcripts in our hands before I began viewing raw tape or writing.
Here are two shots of my notebooks from recent stories. On the right you'll notice all I'm really writing down are proper spellings, ages and specific numbers about the number of hours the people work at their jobs: "16 – 23", how premature their baby was: "18 months" and how much in debt they are in medical bills: "30K" On the left you'll see how sparse my notes can be, I only wrote down a favorite quote that I knew was off camera that I didn't want to forget. (The director of a Wild Mustang Rescue operation said, "I have the best job in the worst location in America." Beneath that, all I am writing down are specific events that I want to research or look up later: in Ohio, Pomona, CA, and northern Nevada.
Lastly, I try not to bury myself in my notebook when listening to people. I think it much more important to connect with them. I'll often rewrite or organize my notes immediately after and interview, or at lunch, or at night in the hotel room. Unless it is numbers, titles, spellings that I might forget. Also, sometimes my scribbles are so random, they'll make sense to me for about a week — but will be incomprehensible if I look at them a year later. Not good, but they seem to get the job done.

PRINCE GEORGE – The University of Saskatchewan Huskies found their stride offensively in the second half, defeating the UNBC Timberwolves 3-0 at the Prince George Youth Soccer Association Fields on Friday.
Jacob Powell (Vancouver, B.C.), Sam Whiting (Saskatoon, Sask.), and Mohamed Omar (Regina, Sask.) all scored for the Huskies (1-3-1), who outshot the Timberwolves 17-10 in total, and held an 8-5 edge in shots on goal.
Greg Buckley (Saskatoon, Sask.) made five saves for the clean sheet for Saskatchewan, while Mitch MacFarlane (Prince George, B.C.) also stopped five shots in a losing effort.
Saskatchewan had the run of the play in the game's opening 15 minutes, getting a number of shots off, though MacFarlane was up to the task to keep the match scoreless.
Bryce Marinus (Victoria, B.C.) had a great opportunity in the 19th minute, but Gordon Hall (Chilliwack, B.C.) blocked the shot attempt with a great sliding challenge in the box, and the game remained scoreless through halftime.
The Timberwolves came out firing early in the second half, with Cheona Edzerza (Prince George, B.C.) bending a kick from just outside the 18-yard box. Buckley had to reach to make the save, then an opportunity on the rebound for Dan Goodey (Langley, B.C.) went wide right.
Saskatchewan got on the board in the 66th minute, as a Mitchell Bauche (Saskatoon, Sask.) corner kick rebounded out to Powell, whose shot from just outside the 18-yard box knuckled off MacFarlane's hands and into the top right corner for the 1-0 advantage.
Whiting gave the Huskies a two-goal cushion in the 82nd minute, converting a header off a cross before Omar iced it in added time on a similar play.
UNBC will try to rebound on Sunday at 11 a.m. against the University of Winnipeg Wesmen, while the Huskies are off to Vancouver to take on the CIS No. 2 UBC Thunderbirds at 1 p.m. Pacific time.
