Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth, And spotted the perils beneath,All the toffees I chewed, And the sweet sticky food,Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.I wish I'd been that much more willin' When I had more tooth there than fillin'To pass up gobstoppers, From respect to me choppersAnd to buy something else with me shillin'.When I think of the lollies I licked, And the liquorice allsorts I picked,Sherbet dabs, big and little, All that hard peanut brittle,My conscience gets horribly pricked.My Mother, she told me no end, "If you got a tooth, you got a friend"I was young then, and careless, My toothbrush was hairless,I never had much time to spend.Oh I showed them the toothpaste all right, I flashed it about late at night,But up-and-down brushin' And pokin' and fussin'Didn't seem worth the time... I could bite!If I'd known I was paving the way,To cavities, caps and decay,The murder of fiIlin's Injections and drillin'sI'd have thrown all me sherbet away.So I lay in the old dentist's chair,And I gaze up his nose in despair,And his drill it do whine, In these molars of mine,"Two amalgum," he'll say, "for in there."How I laughed at my Mother's false teeth,As they foamed in the waters beneath,But now comes the reckonin' It's me they are beckonin'Oh, I wish I'd looked after me teeth.
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.

RACING MANIFOLD HEADER+3-ROW RADIATOR+RED FANS 265-350 V8 CHEVY SMALL BLOCK SBC. High Performance Stainless Steel Header Exhaust : Getting more air into your engine and more exhaust out is the key to a performance motor. That's where exhaust headers is significant as the first revenue of an exhaust system. Exhaust performance headers manipulate the air flow with the performance-robbing exhaust manifold that came with your car. Headers provide each cylinder with its own mini exhaust pipe, which means exhaust headers prevent interference among cylinders; thus, the backpressure that occurs in common exhaust manifolds.
When cylinders don't have to fight with each other to expel their exhaust, they can put more power through the wheels, pushing the vehicle. Combining with a high performance cold air intake, and a cat-back exhaust system, a header system removes all restrictions of your engine, then, it is able to perform at its full potential Aluminum Tri Core 3-Row Radiator : This Aluminum Radiator is designed to provide maximum cooling efficiency to prevent premature engine failure.

Obama Made A Secret Move On Iran
When Iranian President Hassan Rouhani started making friendly gestures toward the West shortly after his election last June, it was a surprise to, well, everybody. After all, the U.S. and Iran have been on bad terms for over three decades, with Iran's last president fond of calling for America's annihilation, so it seemed to be quite an abrupt turnaround. But now it all makes a bit more sense, as it's now being reported that shortly after Rouhani took office, U.S. President Barack Obama began quietly easing the economic sanctions the West had placed on Iran years ago, a token of good faith that may have paved the way for Rouhani's conciliatory actions.
A bit of back story. You hear a lot about the "sanctions" against Iran, but the details of how they work are usually brushed over. One component involves diminishing Iran's ability to conduct significant financial transactions by blacklisting the intermediaries through which those transactions normally pass. So, for example, the U.S. (the Treasury Department, in particular) might identify a bank that Iran has been using in conducting its oil sales, and ban that bank from SWIFT, the international hub for global financial transactions — essentially isolating it from the global banking community. This not only eliminates Iran's ability to utilize this particular bank, but also, more importantly, discourages any other banks from involving themselves with Iran, lest they be blacklisted as well.
Now, in the six weeks prior to Rouhani's election, the U.S. had identified more than 100 entities — individuals, banks, marine vessels, and so on — and placed them on the blacklist. But since Rouhani was elected almost five months ago, the U.S. has only blacklisted a total of 10 (six individuals, four companies). In this way, the U.S. was able to relax its grip on Iran's economy slightly by allowing it more venues through which to conduct financial transactions, while at the same time continuing, technically, to enforce all of the sanctions that were already in place.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that an easing in U.S.—Iranian relations has secretly been in the works for years; the subtle relaxing of sanctions would seem to be a logical component of this.
That being said, the thaw apparently hasn't yet led to a breakthrough in negotiations on Iran's nuclear program. Despite a last-minute appearance by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the six countries currently negotiation with Iran in Geneva didn't reach an agreement today, as many had hoped. But the talks are being extended until tomorrow, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov joining the fray, so that's a sign, if nothing else, that the countries involved very much do want to reach some sort of accord.

Dawn BioccaIndependent Jeweler
I have been married to Alan Biocca for 42 years and have a son Christopher 38 and daughter Jessica 32. I have lived in the bay area for 41 years moving from Santa Rosa so Alan could attend Cal. I have been very blessed to be a stay at home mom most of my married life which has been wonderful. I did work retail off and on to earn my 40 quarters required for Social Security finally completing that in October of 2016 when I worked for 6 months at CVS in Moraga. I did return to Santa Rosa Junior College and completed my Certificate in Microsoft Office Suites which was fun and a little trying at times.
I was a jewelry consultant with Cookie Lee Jewelry for 10 years when it was sold 2014 and became ViVI Jewelry. March of 2016 marked my 12th year with the company. Then in July 2016 I was informed that ViVI was closing its door and filed Chapter 7. I was heart broken because I did enjoy what I was doing. Little did I know that my greatest joy still awaited me. In August of 2016 one of my very dear friends and fellow Cookie Lee / ViVI sisters told me about Premier Designs, Inc. I signed up on August 14, 2016 and have been in love with the company, the jewelry and the people. It has blessed my family in ways I never thought it would. This past March I celebrated 13 years in changing women's lives with jewelry and a great business opportunity.
In August 2017 Alan and I will be celebrating 43 years of marriage and I could not be happier. I am looking forward to the next 20 or 30 years with this wonderful man and my wonderful adult children.

If there's food in Heaven (and I sure hope there is!!) these muffins will be on the breakfast menu!
They are simple. The recipe makes a lot. They freeze wonderfully. And, oh my goodness, they are YUMMY!!!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole-wheat flour
4 tsp baking soda
4 tsp baking powder
4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
8 large eggs, slightly beaten
4 cups sugar
1 lg can pumpkin puree (4 cups if using your own fresh or frozen puree)
1 cup canola oil
1 bag chocolate chips (I prefer milk chocolate)
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 48 muffin cups with paper baking cups.
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir until mixed together evenly. Add eggs, pumpkin puree and oil. Mix until flour is completely incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pan for 5 minutes then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Now remember this makes 4 dozen muffins... that's a lot!! So it's a good thing that they freeze beautifully and can be thawed (and warmed in the microwave) for later enjoyment.
To freeze, wrap muffins individually in plastic wrap. Unfortunately I don't have any great tips to keep the plastic wrap from sticking everywhere but where you want it to stick together, but just work patiently with it and you'll get there. 12 muffins fit perfectly in a gallon size zip lock freezer bag and that's a pretty convenient amount to bring out at one time.
But because they are wrapped individually, you can also just grab one and keep the rest frozen. I'd guess you could keep them frozen for 3 months... but they've never lasted that long at my house to really test the theory.
At Christmastime I have used the same recipe and baked it in 6 mini loaf pans and given them for neighbor gifts. Just takes a bit longer to bake and cool. Very pretty on a $1 store plate or tray with a simple ribbon.

Through ample windows, the airy front bar of Cardigan Place Cellars overlooks the village-like streets outside. A large wooden bar dominates the room, with barstools lined up to welcome diners for a natural wine and a snack. Further back, a cosy dining room – with jars of pickled vegetables lining old wooden shelves – looks into a busy open kitchen. Upstairs is a private dining room, and there's more seating out front.
This lived-in space was once a toy shop, then refined all-day bistro Mon Amour XO. Heading the kitchen is 24-year-old chef Kirra Parsons, who spent her formative years at Dunkeld's Royal Mail and Lûmé under executive chef Shaun Quade. When the call came to run the show here, Parsons jumped at the chance.
"I wanted to work where I had the freedom to do things my way," Parsons says. "To create simple, relaxed and not overly complicated food." The young chef champions local producers, working closely with organic farm Somerset Heritage Produce, in Seymour.
On the menu, refined, small plates shine, and salt and acidity intertwine gracefully. Start with cheese and charcuterie, which might include jamon, aged 14 months; sopressa veneta (salami with a coarser mince for a fuller, meatier flavour, infused with fennel and garlic); Wagyu bresaola; a soft blue Stilton; or a sharper 12-month-old Manchego, from La Mancha in Spain.
More unexpected on the snacking side of things is the bite-sized chestnut briq-pastry crisp. It comes topped with slivers of kombu-braised asparagus, with white pepper and tiny chive cylinders.
A playful pate dish is a creamy swirl of chicken liver cream with gigantic lacy artichoke chips, dusted with green coriander. What first appears to be an egg yolk turns out to be citrus jelly. It goes well with a bright Ministry of Clouds tempranillo grenache.
Barbequed octopus comes with XO sauce, made in-house from charcuterie offcuts. Its umami flavour complements the tentacle curl, which is dressed with dashi and served with foraged wood sorrel, snow-pea slivers, pickled daikon and Chinese-broccoli dust. A 2018 chardonnay aligote from Blind Corner in WA is a very agreeable sipping mate.
A dedicated vegan menu includes smoked cashews; beetroot pastrami with pickled vegetables; barbequed cauliflower with foraged fennel powder; and a fig, red mustard leaf and hazelnut salad.
Affable manager Hamish Killalea comfortably walks diners through a quirky list of mostly Australian wines with a focus on small and low-intervention producers. Take-home bottles are available too, at a 20 per cent discount.

Rapper and singer Lizzo graced the cover of New York Magazine's the Cut for its Spring 2019 fashion issue.
Born Melissa Jefferson, Lizzo has been in the music industry since her debut EP, "Coconut Oil" in 2016. However, the Houston-born artist was catapulted into fame after a video of her playing her flute while dancing went viral and even landed her a performance on Ellen. She has been classically trained on the flute for 20 years and found a way to incorporate it into her performances, which she does with plus-size background dancers. Her performances have reportedly become so popular that her flute, affectionately named Sasha Flute, has its own Instagram account.
The 30-year-old musician wore a Sally LaPointe dress and chunky silver hoops made by Area for the cover, according to the Cut. The photos in the magazine also show her in designer garb that's both flashy and body-revealing. In the article, she discusses her reason for using the flute during her performances, stating it is specifically for people who are shocked to see her perform in little to no clothing.
"I've said it before, but me just existing is revolutionary," she told the Cut.
Lizzo took to Instagram on Monday to show photos that are now available on the Cut's website.
View this post on Instagram
"I'm going to become iconic... I don't mean in the way all the kids are using it now for everything like, 'Oh, I took a nap, How iconic.' Even though it's valid; naps are iconic. I mean iconic like an icon. Like when you see the go sign or the stop sign, you know what it means." - link in bio
Lizzo's songs have been used in various body acceptance campaigns for companies like Dove, Always and Lane Bryant. In the article, she discusses her role as a leader of the body positivity movement, which is currently a term that is trending all over social media. She mentions that she didn't plan on becoming an advocate by simply loving and accepting her body. For her, self-love and body acceptance is something that she will continue to advocate for, even when it's no longer trending.
"Even when body positivity is over, it's not like I'm going to be a thin white woman," she said. "I'm going to be Black and fat. That's just hopping on a trend and expecting people to blindly love themselves. That's fake love. I'm trying to figure out how to actually live it."
The Cut predicts that Lizzo will soon be a household name and change the way society sees a "pop star." The Inquisitr recently reported that she will be a guest on HBO's 2 Dope Queens when it premieres its second season on February 8. Lizzo's new album, Cuz I Love You, premieres on April 19 with a tour to follow.

This seems to happen to me quite a bit so since it just now happened (again) I thought I'd post this picture. Sometimes when punching in on a track where I'm recording in a take folder Logic decides to not put the new audio file in the take folder. You can see by the screenshot what I'm talking about. I'm assuming this happens to everybody and it's just another "take folder quirk" that one has to live with. It seems to behave better if I punch in earlier in the track, but, the closer to the end of the folder I punch in at, the more likely this situation appears.

Together, hospital and physician services account for more than half of national health spending. In its 2014 National Health Expenditures estimates, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' actuaries make the hospital (nearly $1 trillion) and physician practice (nearly $600 billion) sectors appear to be independent and non-overlapping. This is an optical illusion. Hospitals and physicians are, in day-to-day practice, hopelessly intertwined.

Memorials will help provide a better understanding of war.
The National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire will launch its new World War I Centenary trails on Saturday 29th March. The trails have been designed to mark this significant historical milestone and enable visitors of all ages to discover the trees and memorials linked to the Great War by people and their stories.
The family-friendly Discovery Trail (2km) will give visitors to the Arboretum, which is part of The Royal British Legion family of charities, the opportunity to explore some of the key memorials linked to the First World War and the remarkable stories behind them. It will enable young visitors to better understand some of the key events that took place during the war and the role of various regiments and individuals.
History enthusiasts will enjoy the more detailed Shot at Dawn Trail (2km), created to provide a deeper understanding of many of the trees and memorials connected to World War I by fascinating stories and symbolism. This trail takes about an hour and a half to complete and incorporates the iconic Shot at Dawn memorial, which commemorates the 306 British and Commonwealth soldiers shot for cowardice or desertion during the war.
The third route, known as the Poppy Field Trail (2.5 km) passes though some of the Arboretum's woodland avenues, the poppy field and alongside the beautiful River Tame. Incorporating a number of significant World War I memorials, it is ideal for those interested in exploring the outlying areas of the grounds, particularly during the summer months when the poppies are in bloom.
Managing director of the National Memorial Arboretum, Sarah Montgomery, said: "We are very excited to be launching our three World War One Trails, which have been carefully created with all our visitors in mind. We are sure that people will be captivated by the stories behind the trees and memorials which link them to this incredible period in history".
The Arboretum is free to enter and printed trail guides are available from the Visitor Centre for a small charge. Route markers are positioned in the grounds to help show the way, while the Arboretum's volunteer guides will be on hand to answer questions and share their knowledge of the trees and memorials. For further information visit: www.thenma.org.uk.
In addition, the Arboretum is part of the Staffordshire Great War Trail; an interactive trail which takes in key World War I related sites across the county.

In Memory of Karl Lagerfeld. "We met Karl on several occasions and he was always extremely nice to us. When we were teenagers we were very inspired by the fact that KL moved to Paris to pursue his dream when he was still very young. It taught us to dream big and aim for the highest." <3 VR

"It saddens me to hear that Karl has passed away, he will be greatly missed. He remains an icon and his contribution to fashion cannot be underestimated. I fondly remember the first meetings we had when discussing the collaboration H&M did with him in 2004: the discussions about which items should be in the collection, the fitting sessions and when he invited the H&M-team to a private lunch in his town house on Rive Gauche."

The House of KARL LAGERFELD shares, with deep emotion and sadness, the passing of its creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, on February 19, 2019, in Paris, France. He was one of the most influential and celebrated designers of the 21st century and an iconic, universal symbol of style. Driven by a phenomenal sense of creativity, Karl was passionate, powerful and intensely curious. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy as one of the greatest designers of our time, and there are no words to express how much he will be missed.

This is a truly sad day. To say I knew this gentle man that changed how we all looked at the world, is an honour. My heart goes out to his loved ones and to all that felt his delicate and spectacular touch on an industry that is so crowded with characters. He held his place high above all and his sharp wit and mind blew us all away. A true icon... One that will be missed for many, many years to come and will always be responsible for so much creative genius. Thank you Karl for all the beauty and for seeing the world through those iconic glasses that were truly rose-tinted with a vision that was like no other. You will be very missed... And always loved x

Karl was my magic dust, he transformed me from a shy German girl into a supermodel. He taught me about fashion, style and survival in the fashion business. What Warhol was to art, he was to fashion; he is irreplaceable. He is the only person who could make black and white colourful! I will be eternally grateful to him.

All of us at the House of Dior are deeply saddened by news of Karl Lagerfeld's passing. He will be greatly missed by everyone in the fashion world. @MrKimJones, Artistic Director for men's collections, said: "I am deeply moved to hear of Karl Lagerfeld's death. He came to my first show for Dior. His creative vision and unique talent will always be an extraordinary inspiration for generations to come. As will his way of working with his teams, building them up with profound intelligence and a sense of humor that was his alone. The fashion world will miss him greatly, and of course my thoughts are with his colleagues who doubtless are heartbroken today."

Today's gloomy mood is centred on smartphones and social media, which took off a decade ago. Yet concerns that humanity has taken a technological wrong turn, or that particular technologies might be doing more harm than good, have arisen before. In the 1970s the despondency was prompted by concerns about overpopulation, environmental damage and the prospect of nuclear immolation. The 1920s witnessed a backlash against cars, which had earlier been seen as a miraculous answer to the affliction of horse-drawn vehicles— which filled the streets with noise and dung, and caused congestion and accidents. And the blight of industrialisation was decried in the 19th century by Luddites, Romantics and socialists, who worried (with good reason) about the displacement of skilled artisans, the despoiling of the countryside and the suffering of factory hands toiling in smoke-belching mills.
Stand back, and in each of these historical cases disappointment arose from a mix of unrealised hopes and unforeseen consequences. Technology unleashes the forces of creative destruction, so it is only natural that it leads to anxiety; for any given technology its drawbacks sometimes seem to outweigh its benefits. When this happens with several technologies at once, as today, the result is a wider sense of techno-pessimism.

Sturm und Drang
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the 18th-century German artistic movement known as Sturm und Drang, whose best-known exponents included Goethe and Schiller.
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the artistic movement known as Sturm und Drang.In the 1770s a small group of German writers started to produce plays, poetry and novels which were radically different from what had gone before. These writers were all young men, and they rejected the values of the Enlightenment, which they felt had robbed art of its spontaneity and feeling. Their work was passionate, ignored existing conventions and privileged the individual's free will above the constraints of society.The most prominent member of the movement was Johann von Goethe, whose novel The Sorrows of Young Werther became its most notable success, translated into more then thirty languages. Despite this and other successes including Schiller's play The Robbers, the Sturm und Drang disappeared almost as quickly as it had emerged; by the mid-1780s it was already a thing of the past.With:Tim BlanningEmeritus Professor of Modern European History at Cambridge UniversitySusanne KordProfessor of German at University College, LondonMaike Oergel Associate Professor of German at the University of NottinghamProducer: Thomas Morris.

"I'm a businessman and understand the hammer-blow Oregon's small businesses have taken in Oregon over the last decades. The Trump boom is on, no matter the caterwauling of the progressive far-left. I endorsed President Trump before the 2016 primary, and I did it when no other statewide candidate in Oregon would. And I have never wavered in my support.
Since taking office, President Trump has succeeded by:
- Appointing Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court
- Building the most business and operationally-focused Cabinet of our time
- Increasing GDP growth over 3%
- Boosting consumer confidence to record highs
- Leading an economic tsunami that raised the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 25% and added $10 trillion – TRILLION – of wealth to the United States
- Crushing ISIS
- Withdrawing from the utterly useless Paris Accords
- Eliminating 22 regulations for every new regulation produced
- Ongoing construction of the southern border wall
- Cracking down on illegal aliens in criminal gangs and cartels
- Implementing a travel ban from nations known as terror sponsors
- Defunding abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood
- Moved the U.S Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem
- Implementing the largest tax reform bill since Reagan
Those are just a few of the highlights of President Trump's first two years in office. It is easy to see why, in poll after poll, nearly 90% of Republicans support President Trump; 70% "strongly."

As part of Project Pericles at Elon, Service Sabbaticals make it possible for university employees with two or more years of service to be relieved of their duties to the university for one month or less in order to work full time for a community organization. Recipients will continue to receive their university paychecks during their sabbaticals. Project Pericles supports projects and organizations whose goals and principles are consistent with the Elon University Mission Statement.
It is important to note that all staff members with two or more years of service to Elon are eligible for these sabbaticals. Any full-time university employee who has a record of service to a community organization — and who has an idea of how his or her full-time service for one month will benefit that organization in a significant way — is welcome to apply.
Applications are taken on a rolling basis throughout the year, but those made after February 1may not be eligible for funding until the next fiscal year beginning June 1.
If you have questions about the program, download this general information sheet, refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page or contact Tom Arcaro at extension 6442. Download an application form in Word format.

My last three months have gone into heavy travelling in the Middle East and gave me another opportunity of meeting a number of people from different backgrounds. I had quite a few meetings related to advising and coaching individuals and families, and one thing that I have noticed is that the majority of the people are worried because of an uncertain financial future. Some of them have lost their jobs, some are on the verge of losing their jobs, companies are shrinking their workforce and operations, and many people are looking for advice on how to manage such a situation.
The world's struggling economy, oil and housing crisis, continuous wars in the Middle East, and credit crunch have undeniably impacted millions of people. The complex nature of turbulent capitalistic economy leaves many people feeling confused and powerless.
While it's important for us to understand the system and how it works, it is even more important for us to empower ourselves to take good care of our personal economies – our monthly income, expenses, and investments. I am just going to share some of my thoughts on managing personal economies.
The only thing that you can control is your budget and expenses. The task is not always easy, but the basic fundamentals of smart money management still apply no matter how confusing things get at the macro level.
Changing your spending habits are the first and maybe the most difficult undertaking your family will face while trying to survive the financial crisis. Living as though nothing has changed is the number one mistake people make during challenging times and can lead to seemingly insuperable debt.
Keeping yourself financially stable is a continuous struggle.
Following are the six simple steps that you can think of applying to manage yourself better financially.

Asking subscribers not to panic, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) on Thursday announced a new digital authentication mechanism for issuance of SIM cards.
In a statement issued jointly with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), it said that subscribers could submit other verification documents as per earlier DoT circulars on mobile KYC (know your customer) norms if they wished their service providers to replace their Aadhaar eKYC with the fresh KYC.
However, the phone numbers of such subscribers would not face disconnection in any case, according to the statement. About half of India's mobile phone users have their Aadhaar numbers linked to their mobile phone numbers.
The Supreme Court had on September 26 struck down use of Aadhaar for biometric verification, declaring it "unconstitutional" as it did not meet "necessity stage" and "balancing stage" tests to check the primary menace. Although Aadhaar-based KYC was voluntary, more than 90% of new subscribers used the unique ID for verification.
On Thursday, the telecom industry also said in a statement that the convenience of customers topped the priorities of operators and the industry was committed to ensure that subscribers faced no disturbances whatsoever.
"Telecom operators always comply with instructions and regulations passed by DoT and we will adhere to the Supreme Court's verdict," it quoted Rajan S Mathews, director general of the Cellular Operators' Association of India (COAI), as saying.
The DoT, in its statement, clarified that the apex court had not asked telecom companies to destroy all eKYC data within six months but that the onus was on the UIDAI, which administers Aadhaar, the 12-digit unique identification number.
"What the apex court has asked is that UIDAI should not keep authentication log for more than six months. The restriction is on UIDAI and not on the telecom companies. Therefore, there is no need for telecom companies to delete authentication logs," it said.
The Supreme Court, it said, had only prohibited issuance of new SIM cards through Aadhaar eKYC authentication process due to lack of a law.
The statement also said that the DoT and UIDAI were working on a new process for issuing new SIM cards through a mobile app which would be fully compliant with the Supreme Court judgement in the Aadhaar case.
In the proposed process, it said, "live photograph of the person with latitude, longitude, and time stamp will be captured". This will be in addition to the photo of the concerned person's identity card such as Aadhaar card, voter ID, etc. The SIM card agent will be authenticated through a one-time password, and that is how a SIM card will be issued. "This process will be completely hassle-free and digital," the DoT and UIDAI said in the joint statement.
In the statement issued by COAI, Mathews said, "Currently, we are closely working with DoT to build a completely hassle-free alternate digital verification process." He also said that the operators were awaiting further orders and instructions from the DoT in the matter.
Meanwhile, Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio Infocomm and Vodafone Idea have submitted their exit plans to the UIDAI, explaining that the sudden order of the apex court would require fresh investments, further straining the already stressed telecom sector. The companies also said that any alternative digital verification process would cause a time lag since it would require retraining of their entire workforce.

Winnie is creating music, videos, stories, software
Hi, I'm Winnie and I like to do creative stuff. However due to several reasons, I cannot make it my profession. Still I appreciate it if you want to pay my coffee after a night of writing or creating music. Or my ice cream on a sunny day that I spent inside writing cool software for you.
Here are the things I do:
- create music and videos (check out my YouTube channel or the newer Vimeo channel)
- write stories (for example Water Child)
- make games (see my Ludum Dare account or Convoluted)
- write free software (you can find my contributions on GitLab and GitHub)
So if you support me, I can continue doing all this and maybe spend even more time on it in the future. :-)

There News: Euro Prime Mar 7th 2003 17:28 by modox [justify]Metroid had a fair delay getting to Europe, now we know why. The European version of Metroid Prime will recieve a number of enhancements, all listed below.
Defeated enemies don't drop as many power-ups as the US version; less ammo and energy
Stronger enemies: it takes more shots to eliminate certain enemies and their attacks are more powerful
Faster loss of energy when walking on acid or lava
Some doors will now require multiple shots to open just like in the SNES game
Hint system refined: it takes 10-15 minutes longer for hints to appear when players are stuck
Gamers can skip cut-scenes after they've played through once
Includes speech: English speech for the intro and voice output when scanning objects and adding them to the log. Also, a voice notifies players when doors are locked and unlocked and there is an added voice for the ending of the game [/justify]

Scott Walker has...ReplyDelete
attacked our education system
destroyed rights for SOME unions and exempted others in a divide and conquer strategy
canceled equal rights for women,minorities and veterans
passed a budget that would allow him to sell state assets without competitive bidding
pushed to relax or eliminate environmental controls on industry... to let them pollute our greatest resources..our land, air, water
eliminated earned worker benefits to allow him to give money to out of state corporations
passed 'midnight' laws and legislation to avoid scrutiny and debate
went across the USA to fund raise from corporations in Oklahoma, Florida, Illinois....which begs the question; does he represent out of state interests or Wisconsin?
bungled the finances of Milwaukee County and has blamed it on others
has NOT created jobs, has NOT balanced the budget..has NOT represented Wisconsin Citizens......why should anyone vote for him????

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Is STILL Unfit for OfficeReplyDelete
Personal Essay by Dr. Glen Barry
May 22, 2012
" I had the misfortune of being a college classmate of Scott Walker. Walker attended Marquette from 1986 to 1990, two years younger than I. He was a laughable dork – dumb, full of himself, and authoritarian. Being deeply imperfect myself, nonetheless, I have to speak up on how going to college with Walker showed him to be a piece of work. And that his bad conduct, which began there, and led to a harsh and unjust start to his political life, which remains ugly and dangerous to this day, do in fact indicate Walker remains unfit for office.
Fresh from Badger Boys State leadership conference, freshly shorn of his mullet, and in ill-fitting suits; Scott rolled onto campus in 1986 at 18 already running for office. He was constantly speaking in sound bites, with a false sugary sweetness, about taxes and abortion – the only issues which Scott Walker truly cared about other than his personal quest for power."

Primary school routines
For primary school age kids, and especially kindy kids, a routine will help both you and your child make each day the best it can be.
Saying goodbye
At first, you might like to stay for a while until your child feels secure at school. When your child has settled into school, a short and reassuring goodbye encourages independence. Let them know who will pick them up at the end of the day.
Picking up children at the end of the day
When school finishes each day, your child's class will gather at a regular place. Your child's teacher will wait with the children. Make sure your child and their teacher know who will be collecting them each afternoon. Children can get upset if the person picking them up comes late. Check with their teacher about the best time to arrive in the afternoon and where to stand.
Keep routines
Kindergarten children can get very tired at night because they are doing so many new and exciting things. For this reason it helps if you keep routines like bath time, meals and reading routines as regular as possible. It's important to leave time for your child to play and get a good night's sleep each night.
Getting to and from school safely
How you choose to get your child to and from school is a parent responsibility however your child's school wants this to happen safely every day of the year.
Walking provides opportunities
Walking with your child is a great time to chat about the day.
- you can teach them real life skills for how to be a safe pedestrian
- it saves money (car wear and tear and petrol costs)
- it's good for everyone's physical activity and general wellbeing
- It's good for the environment and less congestion around your school.
Be a role model
Whichever way you choose for getting your child to and from school always be a positive role model by:
- using the safest place to cross the road. Where possible use pedestrian crossings and traffic lights even if this means walking further
- buckling up all seat belts before turning the car on
- ensuring your child is in a booster seat until they are 7years of age or 145 cm tall
- following the road rules, and parking legally even if this means parking further away and walking the rest of the way to school
- never call to your child across the road
- meet and drop your child inside the school gate.
Share this information with your child's carers such as grandparents, nannies and friends who may be taking or picking up your child from school.
Learn more ways of safely travelling to and from school with your child.
Outside of school hours care
Services that care for children outside of school hours and vacation care are often run from schools or near schools. Your school can give you information about these services in your area. The Child Care Benefit helps eligible families with the cost of child care for outside of school hours care and vacation care.

Another poem that touched me. Its brilliance is in the heartfelt emotions expressed, sort of a tug and pull. This poem plucked at my heartstrings. I just had to share.
Friends, please go directly to Patricia's blog. Read, feel. And if you are not following, please do. You will enjoy her art.
Uncomplicated love, you
On our backs
Looking up to the sky
Eyes of wonder
Staring back at us is life
So unprepared we are
For all to come our way
Our tiny hearts beating in time
Today I'll hold your hand
And you promise to love me always
Even if we're apart
Even if you hate me
And even if you make me cry
I'll be by your side
Laughing through it the way we do
And even if I can't reach you
Remember our healing touch
Oh, rich wells and hidden springs
That are our voices as we sing
To bring the other back to life
Resurrecting by which I'll come
The purest of hearts
Our hearts
The purest of souls
Our souls
And with such innocence
A hold so real
A smile so real
Of which only we feel
So now I have to go

Jefferson City, MO (STL.News) Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway today issued another subpoena to Clay County demanding the county turn over documents associated with a citizen-mandated audit. This is in addition to a previous subpoena issued on Nov. 8.
This week, auditors were onsite in Clay County conducting audit fieldwork and making standard requests for information routinely and readily provided in audits of county governments. Several requests are related to concerns raised by Clay County petitioners and whistle-blowers who have contacted the State Auditor's Office.
The county indicated certain responsive records would not be provided to auditors, which is why those materials are now being subpoenaed.
The audit of Clay County was initiated after a citizen petition was submitted to the Auditor's Office and then verified to have more than the minimum 5,590 signatures of county residents who are registered voters. The audit began in December 2018. In January 2019, Clay County sued to prevent the Auditor from conducting the citizen-mandated audit. After a judge dismissed the lawsuit at the end of October, audit work resumed.
