- Architect Hafeez Contractor
For this icon, architecture is not a job but a calling.
You can see it in every building that bears his unmistakable stamp, the sheer magnificence of his designs, the breathtaking impact of his oeuvre, and his profound influence over much of the built environment of metropolitan India. Fittingly, Hafeez Contractor was recently awarded the Padma Bhushan by the President of India. While graciously accepting CW´s congratulations, he underscored the plight of India´s cities and the challenges in the country´s building scenario. Not surprising, considering Contractor is a ´soldier of architecture´, a sentinel whose vision goes far beyond mere brick and mortar to encompass sustainable building for the entire country. In conversation with SHRIYAL SETHUMADHAVAN and SERAPHINA D´SOUZA, Contractor shares his journey and thoughts on building the future.
How does it feel to be honoured with the country´s most prestigious award?
When one receives an award, at that moment it is the biggest achievement. This one is a bit different because the country recognises you; so, of course, it is one of my big achievements.
But today, in India, how much importance is given to architecture? What cities used to be, and what are they getting converted to? Look at Mumbai 20-25 years ago. Suddenly there is a big vacuum and work to be created. People first need to be made aware of what architecture is all about and what it can get for the city. But, in urban design, what is not good for architecture is that anyone makes decisions, the results of which are evident only after 10-12 years. One cannot even imagine how bad laws have destroyed cities, especially Mumbai.
In 1885, Mumbai was ´the destination´ to set up a business in India. Then, our city fathers made a law that said no to more office buildings. At this time, Mumbai used to be the only place with a proper phone system, electrical and water supply, and a fantastic work culture. But one law, and the focus shifted to cities such as Delhi and Bengaluru. What remained for Mumbai was its skyline.
What is the scenario like in Mumbai today?
Today, Mumbai is getting a raw deal. In urban areas, three years back, there was no development allowed; then, one year there was a lull, some new laws were made; then ministers changed. So, for the past three to four years, plans are changing and there is complete uncertainty. If we were to have only ´MHADA-looking´ buildings, we need to question ourselves if this is what our cities should look like. Also, we have been talking about a ring road for Mumbai since 1968. While this is yet to see the light of the day, today almost every small town in the country has a ring road. So, it is now high time that Mumbai questions whether it has done something wrong. The whole world is reclaiming and creating beautiful spaces. But good projects in India tend to come to a halt owing to various reasons. I feel dejected because unlike the situation back in 1986-87, today Delhi´s bylaws are a thousand times better than Mumbai´s. For instance, while Delhi permits eight to 10 basements, the law in Mumbai limits it to not more than 10 or 10.5 m. We are not allowing cantilevers of more than 2 m when, world over, 60-80 m of cantilevers are designed.
So, which is the one move required to meet international standards?
We need to build an environment. With scarcity, scarcity and scarcity, our prices have gone up, up, up and up. We are in a situation where you cannot afford to buy a house of your standard unless you are born rich. First, India has to get its housing prices in parity with earnings.
India is now promoting affordable homes.
Affordable is a nice term. But with taxes introduced being so high, there is nothing like affordability. However, the government is focusing on urban along with rural areas. For the first time, there is something like cities on the map. Urban areas, water and connecting of rivers are important and the government is going in the right direction. But it will take some time. The biggest problem remains that we have created so many laws, and we have a web of laws, laws and laws.
The recently released model building bylaws speak about easing the approval process and creating set standards for tall structures and green buildings, among others...
Getting online clearance is a positive move. But we need strong laws and permissions that consider architectural features as well. For example, any projection in a building, such as sun breakers, will be considered in the FSI. But in most probability, a builder will not pay for an architectural feature in FSI. So, what are left are boxes without any decoration. We need to not just build, but build aseptically, because these buildings are going to be there for another 100 years.
You were a part of the Bombay Heritage Society; what should be done to preserve heritage?
Heritage in every aspect - urban, family, culture - is important. In the urban context, preserving all good buildings is important. But we have over-amplified and created precincts that we call heritage today. The heritage committee comprises bureaucrats who are administrators, while we are speaking design. So, heritage is important, but you need to have it in the right dose. Then it will be appreciated and preserved.
For a successful project, how should the relationship between an architect and builder be?
It is most cooperative when a builder says something and I agree, or the other way round. We need to understand the constraints that developers in India work around. It has to be a close-knit relationship, it has to be appreciative; it has to be a perfect marriage.
Many developers are now working and consulting with international architects for their projects...
International architects are like a new flavour, a new girl in town. To create something new, a lot of developers get architects from abroad. A developer may want to give something new, but before that, he wants to announce that he has an international architect. So, whether he likes it or not, a builder today follows the trend.
What is the relevance of a project like the coastal road that Mumbai is planning? You have been involved in the project...
The coastal road is a great opportunity in several ways and we are throwing it away. Today, everyone is talking about the environment and global warming, and it is a reality. A lot of coastal cities have already started raising their coast, considering the rise in sea level after 10-15 years.
We could have taken this opportunity and created it with a garden or a forest of 500 m all along and protected the west side all along the second phase; we have the BPT development; we could have created 500 or 600 m of forestation. With this, we could change the microclimate of the city.
What has gone wrong in the process?
Every day, someone or the other takes objection and work comes to a halt. If the same kind of people existed about a hundred years back, Mumbai would not have developed to this extent. We need to be magnanimous, have a balanced approach, and live and let live.
You have been advocating vertical growth and sustainable compact cities for over four decades; this seems to be the right time.
High-rise, compact and mega cities are the only answer for this world, for the future. Our Prime Minister is talking about smart cities. I appreciate it, but instead of talking about cities, I would take only three or four places where there is ample water and develop concentrated cities. These can have water, electricity, the required infrastructure, underground tubes, etc. Water is an infrastructure not available to all cities, so this should be used to advantage. We need new ways of developing cities.
What´s your message for budding architects?
The newer generation is looking at things in a different way. That´s essential and that´s the right way. But while they have a herculean task ahead of them, we are responsible for how we leave the environment for them.
Please share a memorable experience from your career, and a dream project you are still looking forward to achieve.
What will go down in history is a memorable experience. Consider how Lake Castle gave rise to Powai in Mumbai; also, my experience with developing the DLF city, the whole golf course, etc, in Gurgaon. This experience is certainly memorable. But going forward, if Mumbai´s west-side freeway with the park gets done, it will be a memorable experience, and this will be a dream project not just for me but the city. Mumbai has the population, the people are so vibrant and work-oriented; we have everything. The sad part is that we do not have the leadership.

Improving The Way Business Takes Place
For consumers, RatePoint provide an easy way to reach out to businesses and improve communications.
RatePoint is the product of what they have learned about the needs of businesses and consumers, the technology and platforms they previously developed, and their collective experiences.
Neal Creighton, Chris Bailey, Mike Rowan and Kefeng Chen founded RatePoint in 2006 to create a way for businesses and consumers to interact in a meaningful way. In 2001 they launched GeoTrust® - the world's second largest provider of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Certificates.
GeoTrust® secured over 30 percent of the world's online transactions, and gave businesses a way to let consumers know they were safe online. But while SSL answered the question -- "Is this site secure?" -- it didn't answer one of the primary concerns of consumers -- "Is this a quality, trusted business?" The founders decided that if they ever had a chance to start another company they would try to answer that question. When VeriSign acquired GeoTrust® in September 2006, RatePoint was founded.
Today, RatePoint is helping businesses worldwide connect with customers and manage their online reputation. RatePoint looks forward to working with consumers and businesses of all types and sizes in improving the way business takes place.

An elderly woman wins a cherry pie at a town raffle. Before she can drive home with her prize, a man approaches, demanding she give him the pie. She refuses, so the man kills her and drives away with her body.
Captain Stottlemeyer and Lieutenant Disher consider the case a routine carjacking, but Monk suspects there may be more to it. However, before Monk can get too involved, he gets a surprising phone call from his brother Ambrose, who wants to discuss a matter of "life or death." The brothers haven't spoken in seven years, ever since Ambrose failed to contact Monk after the death of Monk's wife Trudy. After some prodding by Sharona, Monk agrees to meet with Ambrose, who never leaves his house due to a severe case of agoraphobia. Ambrose, much like his brother Adrian, has a keen eye for crime, and he believes his neighbor Pat Van Ranken has killed his wife.
Ambrose's suspicions were aroused a couple of nights before, when he heard Van Ranken and his wife fighting, followed by four gunshots and a lot of suspicious behavior by Van Ranken. Monk and Sharona pay a visit to Ambrose's neighbor, and Monk notices a series of clues. They decide to follow Van Ranken, who enters a town potato sack race in which he purposely finishes second. Monk and Sharona continue to spy on him as he secretly tears through his prize - a cherry pie.
The next day, Ambrose makes a connection: he remembers a newspaper photo of the murdered elderly woman... holding a cherry pie! Monk and Sharona decide to attend a bingo tournament, where a third cherry pie is being given away. Sure enough, Van Ranken is there, and he wins the pie. Monk stops Van Ranken, calls in Captain Stottlemeyer, and explains what he thinks happened: Van Ranken's wife was baking pies for the town giveaways, there was a fight, and Van Ranken shot her. Unable to find all of the discharged shells, Van Ranken realized that an incriminating shell must have landed in one of the pies. Stottlemeyer allows Sharona to search the third pie, but she finds nothing.
Monk goes to Ambrose with the news, and Ambrose decides to explain why he's been avoiding Monk all these years: the day Trudy died, she was running an errand for Ambrose, so Ambrose has always blamed himself for her death. Monk tells Ambrose it wasn't his fault, and they make up.
Later, Monk figures out where the missing shell must be: it landed in a bag of flour that Van Ranken's wife had borrowed from Ambrose... and that Van Ranken has since returned! Monk races to Ambrose's house, but Van Ranken is already there, in the process of setting Ambrose's house on fire after being unable to force his way inside. The police arrive in time to capture Van Ranken, but Ambrose is still trapped inside, unable to leave. Monk dashes in, heroically rescuing his brother. The case is solved, and the Monk brothers are finally reconciled after seven long years.

text: Sometimes a school district will try to prevent a parent from inviting someone to attend an IEP meeting. This letter indicates to me that the decision is the parent's. The letter contains also contains info on a parent inviting a sd employee that wasn't also invited by the school district. http://www.ed.gov/policy/speced/guid/idea/letters/2003-3/byrd082803iep3q2003.pdf Dated August 28, 2003 I am writing in response to your letters to Dr. Gregg Corr in the United States Department of Educations Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) concerning your son. In your letters you request clarification on the obligation of a local education agency (LEA), specifically the X District, to ensure the presence of specific teachers at the individualized education program (IEP) meeting for your son. In your letters, you state that you feel that the teachers in question, X and Y, have knowledge and expertise about your son that would be important in developing the IEP. After requesting that the teachers attend the IEP meeting, you learned that the school administration requested that the teachers discuss their leave options if they planned to attend the meeting. Your letter does not state whether these teachers presently teach or provide supplementary aids and services to your child. I would like to provide you with the following information concerning the Federal requirements for IEP meeting participants. Under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Part B), 20 U.S.C. §1400 et. seq., and its implementing regulations at 34 C.F.R. Part 300, a public agency must ensure that all individuals participate in the childs IEP meeting who are necessary to develop an IEP that will meet the childs unique needs and ensure the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to the child. Under the Part B regulations, the public agency must ensure that the IEP team for each child with a disability includes- (1) The parents of the child; (2) At least one regular education teacher of the child (if the child is, or may be, participating in the regular education environment); (3) At least one special education teacher of the child, or if appropriate, at least one special education provider of the child; (4) A representative of the public agency who - (i) Is qualified to provide, or supervise the provision of, specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of children with disabilities; (ii) Is knowledgeable about the general curriculum; and (iii) Is knowledgeable about the availability of resources of the public agency; (5) An individual who can interpret the instructional implications of evaluation results, who may be a member of the team described in paragraphs (a)(2) through (6) of this section; (6) At the discretion of the parent or the agency, other individuals who have knowledge or special expertise regarding the child, including related services personnel as appropriate; and (7) If appropriate, the child. 34 CFR §300.344(a). The current regulations permit the IEP team to include, at the discretion of the parent or the agency, other individuals who have knowledge or special expertise regarding the child See 34 C.F.R. §300.344(a)(6). This is a change from prior law, which provided, without qualification, that parents or agencies could have other individuals as members of the IEP team at the discretion of the parents or agency. See 34 CFR Part 300, Appendix A, Question 28. The determination as to whether an individual has knowledge or special expertise, within the meaning of §300.344(a)(6), shall be made by the parent or public agency who has invited the individual to be a member of the IEP team, and that determination must be made on a case by case basis. See 34 C.F.R. §300.344(c). [emphasis added] The Part B regulations do not address the public agencys responsibility to make an employee of that agency who is not a required participant in the IEP meeting available for IEP meetings, nor do the regulations address the question as to whether an individual employed by the school district who is not a required participant in the IEP meeting may be charged for leave if that individual attends the IEP meeting at the request of the parent. Thus, whether or not an employee of the school district who is not required by 34 C.F.R. §300.344(a) to be part of the IEP team may be required to attend or be charged leave to attend the IEP meeting is a matter of State and/or local policy. If you have any questions about how the requirements of Part B are implemented in Kentucky or the requirements of Kentucky law and regulations, you may contact the State educational agency at the following address and telephone number: Ms. Judy Mallory Director Division of Exceptional Childrens Services Kentucky Department of Education Capital Plaza Tower, 8th Floor 500 Mero Street, Room 801 Frankfort, Kentucky 40601 Telephone Number: (502) 564-4970 Again, thank you for sharing your concerns with us.

Help someone in Armenia today by giving them a micro business loan!
April 24
April 24 is marked by Armenians around the world as Armenian Genocide memorial day. The date is significant because on April 24, 1915, about 250 Armenian intellectuals and leaders were rounded up in Ottoman Turkey and for the most part murdered by the state. The leaderless Armenian population then followed suit, although massacres had been already happening before that date in 1915 as well.
Most Armenian communities have built their own Armenian Genocide Monuments, where they gather to commemorate the genocide. Protests at Turkish Embassies and Consulates demanding recognition are also held.
Armenian Leadership Arrested
Some of the about 250[1] Armenian leaders arrested on the night of April 24 in Constantinople included the following people.
- Daniel Varoujan
- Krikor Zohrab
- Siamanto (Adam Yarjanian)
- Levon Shant
- Silvio Ricci
- Agnuni
- Zartarian
- Khazhag
- Shahrigian
- Jihangiulian
- Dr. Daghvarian
- Sarkis Minasian
- Dr. Chillingerian
- Onnig Maghazadjian
The following people were arrested and witnessed the death of many of their fellows, but survived.
- Komitas (lost his mind)
- Krikoris Balakian (wrote Golgotha, a memoir about this)
- Dr. Khachig Boghosia (survived and wrote about it)

Best Service - Sonuscore Trinity Drums KONTAKT
Trinity Drums is a powerful collection of cinematic and modern grooves combined in a flexible, innovative virtual instrument.
The character of the included rhythmic themes ranges from earth-shaking monstrosity to delicate rhythms and even electronic beats ‐ all created from high quality recordings by the sound design specialists from the Boom Library and produced by the experienced team of composers at Sonuscore.
The TRINITY System
The central idea of TRINITY DRUMS is the separation of the different elements of a groove. Every rhythmic theme is divided by frequency into three independent layers (Low, Mid and High Drums) which together will form a full groove, but can be combined at will. Each of these layers is available in multiple variations of different complexity, providing maximum flexibility to adjust them to your composition.
Playable Groove Variations
With the Phrase Sync Mode it is possible to switch and combine different variations and layers of a groove live on your keyboard without descending into rhythmic chaos. The instrument intelligently adjusts the timing of newly triggered grooves to fit the currently playing rhythm, creating an intuitively playable instrument.

Anti-Conservative Emails
Sustainable transport charity the Campaign for Better Transport is to strengthen its volunteer induction procedures after a temporary member of staff sent out an email to supporters asking for evidence that the Conservative Party was "hostile to good public transport".
Harry Phibbs, a Conservative councillor on Hammersmith & Fulham Council, said he had complained to the Charity Commission. He wrote on the ConservativeHome blog: "Here is a charity behaving in the most blatantly partisan manner."
The CBT's trustees had been asked to read the regulator's campaigning guidance and send "a clarification with regard to meaning" to the recipients of the email.
Stephen Joseph, Executive Director of CBT, said the email had not been seen by any of the charity's staff before it was sent and did not reflect the intentions of CBT. He said its campaigning followed commission guidelines and a clarification email had already been sent. "We have strengthened our volunteer-induction procedures and are confirming this to the commission," he added.

All or Nothing
Lord Elis-Thomas told BBC Wales' The Politics Show that the Welsh Assembly had purchased computer software from the Scottish Parliament which enables expenses to be published online.
He said the expenses for the last financial year would be published at 0900 BST on Monday and that later this year all claims would be published on a monthly basis.
When asked about what information had been redacted, Lord Elis-Thomas said that individual receipts wouldn't be available online on Monday.
The new log of AMs' expenses can be viewed at http://www.assemblywales.org/allowances from 0900 BST on Monday.

Waiting lists and bureaucracy
While the Assembly Government continues to wrestle with the Wales Office over housing and its many issues, it falls to a local government - Cardiff Council - to take a more common sense approach to housing issues in the capital city.
A single application process for waiting lists has been developed by the council, in partnership with eight housing associations. Just one form now needs to be filled out by anyone looking for housing in the city. This is then entered into a single database which is used by both the council and all housing associations involved. The new common waiting list is administered by the council on behalf of itself and the housing associations and currently has in excess of 6,000 applicants. In total the new waiting list, which covers social landlords, has over 22,000 properties.
Executive Member for Housing Councillor Judith Woodman said, "This has been a long process and has been developed in partnership with all local Housing Associations. It has created a service which makes sense to everyone and probably none more so than those applying for social housing. "I believe the new common waiting list brings common sense to a system so many of our citizens rely on."

Bronzed down the bay
Just as you thought the headline meant that it was time for a touch of Summer sun and recess, the bronzing refers to Cardiff's new statue in honour of one of its most famous sons.
A seven-foot bronze sculpture of Cardiff-born composer Ivor Novello will be unveiled in the city on Saturday. Novello (real name David Ivor Davies) who died aged 58 in 1951, was famous as composer, singer and actor and one of the most popular musical stars of the 20th century.
The statue shows Novello at work and will be sited near the Wales Millennium Centre where his musical comedy Glamorous Nights was staged as a tribute to him in 2005. It is the work of Peter Nicholas, who was educated at Ebbw Vale County Grammer School and studied at Cardiff Art School and the Royal College of Art, London.
The celebration will begin inside the Centre on the Glanfa Stage at 10.30am where, after a brief performance by singer Beverley Humphries featuring Novello's music, and short speeches, the audience will move outside for the unveiling ceremony at 11am.

A Welshman's home is his castle, and a last chance for Dr Gibbons to prove some worth
"et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium"
The Western Mail reports that a 76-YEAR-OLD man has been on hunger strike at the doors of the National Assembly for 15 days and vows to remain until he wins an inquiry into his planning dispute.
This is the latest protest by Iorwerth Jones, from Llandovery, who was found not guilty of causing £30,000 of damage to council offices in Llandeilo during a rooftop protest in 2007.
He has been locked in conflict with the council since 1979 when a lorry park was sited near the home he was building. This has been replaced with a pet food factory and he claims his house has been devalued.
Carmarthenshire County Council said it was "beyond belief" last year when a jury at Swansea Crown Court found him not guilty of breaking roof tiles with a hammer.
He met Jane Davidson, Assembly Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing, last week but was not satisfied with her response.
Mr Jones said: "I had an hour with her. It seems she is trying to push it aside."
"I want an inquiry. I want the truth to come out. As long as she keeps on saying she is not going to do anything I'll be here."
A spokesman for the minister said: "Ms Davidson met Mr Jones with his constituency AM Mr Rhodri Glyn Thomas and Welsh Assembly Government officials out of concern for his health. During the meeting Ms Davidson listened to Mr Jones's issues but made it clear that her statutory role in the planning process meant she could not intervene in an individual planning issue.
"Ms Davidson's private office staff continue to discuss Mr Jones' health and welfare with officials from the National Assembly for Wales (very noble but impractical - why not send in the resident GP), who are responsible for the T Hywel building where Mr Jones is protesting."
The Assembly Government argues no evidence so far suggests the local planning authority acted in such a way to justify an inquiry.
The Assembly Government can hold a public inquiry into a planning issue if it believes the original decision was "grossly wrong" and the public interest is at stake.
Mr Jones's case has been referred to the local government ombudsman on four separate occasions but a basis for an investigation has never been found. However, Mr Jones is adamant he suffered an injustice.
Chris Burns, assistant chief executive of Carmarthenshire County Council, said: "All his complaints have been dealt with in the proper manner and in line with the appropriate rules and regulations.
"The council's offer to purchase his property was flatly rejected by Mr Jones."
Let's hope that his health doesn't take a turn for the worse and that he's given a proper meal in the heavily subsidised staff restaurant. One thing's for sure, he's in the wrong place for snacks.

Rhodri Morgan's urges hit American shore
Welsh culture (and our First Minister) will make a huge splash in Washington DC for ten days starting today.
And 80 trade ambassadors will be there to drum up businesses for Wales. The nation will be taking centre stage as the featured country at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in the US capitol. Sights and sounds of Wales will join African American oratory and Latin American music programmes as the main themes of this year's festival.Wales will put on an exciting programme of activities to an expected million visitors, including concerts by Last Choir Standing winners Only Men Aloud and harpist Catrin Finch.
More than 150 poets, singers, musicians and craftsmen will be showcasing their crafts at a site portraying many aspects of Welsh cultural life, landscape and environment. An installation by Angharad Pearce Jones runs the length of the central festival walkway, and takes some of the more common textures and aesthetics of Wales to Washington - including dry stone walls, kissing gates and rugby posts. Visitors will also be able to sample food from Wales.
First Minister Rhodri Morgan, who will be representing Wales at the festival's opening ceremony on Wednesday, said:
No longer will Wales be Europe's best kept secret. With so many 'experts' from Wales showcasing their talents at one of the world's biggest cultural festival events, we have a unique opportunity to raise our profile in Washington and right across North America.
Visitors to the festival will be able to learn more about our traditional and contemporary cultures and we hope that inspires them to visit, study or invest here. To coincide with the festival, we are also taking the biggest trade mission to leave Wales over to the United States. Around 80 companies will be participating in the event with the aim of making contacts with American companies and winning new business.
Let's hope he leaves his urges at home.

Slow Rejuvenation for Welsh Labour?
With the recent announcement of Local Government and Social Justice Minister Dr Brian Gibbons standing down as an assembly member at the next election, is Welsh Labour looking for new blood to rejuvenate its fortunes?
To date, Cardiff West; Cardiff South and Penarth; Pontypridd; and Aberavon will all be 'fresh' Assembly Members from 2011.
The First Minister has said he is likely to step down around the time of his 70th birthday in September, however, he has been urged to stay on for the sake of the Labour party (apparently he's popular, and a man of the people - suppose it depends what people you ask). He is likely to not seek re-election in 2011 in order to join his wife in retirement from main political activity.
- Rhodri Morgan (to retire and join his wife at home)
- Lorraine Barrett (to become a humanist celebrant)
- Jane Davidson (to move onto a new challenge for the rest of her working life)
- Brian Gibbons (to return to GP practice)

Up in arms over selective refurbishment of office nests
Following on from past topics that seem to have gone by the wayside news comes to me that the Cathays Park refurbishment of the Welsh Assembly Government's civil service hub is stirring up a bit of resentment among the rank and file of its inhabitants.
New developments show the outrage of selected individuals that have had to put up with leaking roofs and uncomfortable working conditions for over 12 months, while discovering that a secondee to the Assembly had requested and been granted permission to refurbish their office on the same floor at a cost of nearly £5,000. Union sources are saying that they were initially told that the request had been justified on health and safety grounds, however, when they asked for copies of correspondence relating to the request - none was forthcoming from management.

Domestic violence affecting work
Recent research is raising awareness after showing that between 10% and 12% of women experience domestic violence on an annual basis according to the British Crime Survey and despite significant under-reporting, one incident of domestic violence is reported to the police every minute.
It will come as no surprise that the experience of domestic violence can lead to an increase in absenteeism, poor timekeeping, and a fall in performance at work which lead to official warnings.
According to Women's Aid research, among employed women who had experienced domestic violence in the past year, 21% took time off work and 2% lost their jobs.

Second chance saloon for taking the Mick out of Opik
Gossip follows the recent news that Liberal Democrat Mick Bates has announced that he will not stand at the next Welsh Assembly elections in 2011, making some think that Lembit Opik may have a second chance at retaining his 'Montgomeryshire home' if beaten into second, or even third place in the much awaited UK general election.
That aside, Mr Bates, the AM for Montgomeryshire, had a majority of just under 2,000 votes at the last assembly election, and is chiefly known for two moments of madness in the Assembly:
- Appearing in a Santa suit in the former chamber to raise cash for charity; and
- Raising a middle finger to the laughter of other AMs.

Sex discrimination at the Home Office
The Home Office has recently been found guilty of sex discrimination at an Employment Tribunal.
The discrimination was in the way it treated a woman who had time off while pregnant. The case centred around a maternity pay policy introduced by the department in 2007 which altered the criteria for qualification.
The Civil Servant in question had to take unpaid special leave in August 2006 and, after the birth of her baby, the department wrote to her to say that she would not qualify for contractual maternity pay.
The Employment Tribunal found that the policy discriminated against women because they were more likely than men to take unpaid leave. The judge decreed that the department had failed to consider the diversity related impact of the policy and condemned the timing of the letter to the employee as "extraordinary insensitive".
She was awarded compensation for loss of earnings and injury to feelings. The tribunal also imposed the maximum uplift of 50% on the department for failing to address her initial grievance.

God Will Forget The Sins Of The Repentant
"This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My Laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And they shall not teach every one his fellow or every one his brother, saying, 'Know The Lord,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more." (Hebrews 8:10-12 RSV)
Repent and Live
"The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. But if a wicked man turns away from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all My statutes and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness which he has done he shall live. Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, says The Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?" (Ezekiel 18:20 RSV)
Fact Finder: Is righteous behavior summed up by, and manifested by, God's Ten Commandments?

Georgia Bulldogs @ South Carolina Gamecocks
Saturday 5PM
TV: Fox Sports South
The Georgia Bulldogs travel to Columbia looking for their first SEC win of the season and hoping to break a nine game losing streak overall. The Gamecocks have been streaking lately as well, but more in the positive manner. Only a four point loss at Florida this week kept South Carolina from winning their fifth straight.
Georgia 9-13, 0-7, 0-5 (away), RPI #221
South Carolina 16-5, 5-3, 13-1 (home), RPI #46
South Carolina is 5-5 in their last 10 vs UGA
South Carolina is 3-2 in their last 5 at home vs UGA
Players to Watch:
Georgia - F Terrance Woodbury, F Trey Thompkins, G Corey Butler
South Carolina - G Devan Downey, G Zam Frederick, F Mike Holmes
What Georgia must do to win...
Honestly, Georgia has to play their best game of the year to beat this South Carolina team right now. They need Woodbury and Thompkins to have big games and they need to limit Downey and Frederick offensively. The Bulldogs can't afford to have their average of 17 turnovers against this team which forces nearly 20 per game.
What South Carolina must do to win...
Have Downey and Frederick control the temp and play their game. The Gamcocks can't foul like they did on Tuesday against Florida when the Gators attempted 40 free throws.
I think South Carolina should take this one relatively easily barring a horrible game by Downey and Frederick.
South Carolina wins by 13-19 points
Season: 12-13 SU through 2/6

The president who boasted of treating women like sex objects is being outplayed at his own tabloid-warfare game by a porn star. Maybe there's justice in the world after all.
You might have missed it in the ceaseless fusillade of news, but on Wednesday the White House all but confirmed the story that actress and director Stormy Daniels is dying to tell: Shortly before the election she was paid $130,000 in hush money to keep quiet about an "intimate relationship" she had with Donald Trump in 2006.
Daniels filed a lawsuit Tuesday arguing that she should be free to speak about the affair since a nondisclosure agreement laying out the terms of the payment was never actually signed by Trump. Asked about the payment at a White House briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Trump denies the allegations and that, in any event, "this case has already been won in arbitration."
Trump was reportedly "very unhappy" with Sanders' performance, but come on, give her a break. How is she supposed to keep all the lies straight as they multiply, overlap and at times contradict?
What she inconveniently seemed to confirm is that Trump is a party to arbitration proceedings regarding a nondisclosure agreement involving Daniels. Obviously, there would be no such agreement unless there were something Trump wanted to hide.
The Daniels affair is of more than just prurient interest: It would appear that Trump may have violated federal campaign law by failing to disclose the payment on his reporting forms.
Any attempt by Trump to stick to his blanket denial — he claims all the women who say he harassed them, assaulted them or had affairs with them are lying — is now moot in the Daniels case, because in an appendix to her lawsuit she included the entire nondisclosure agreement. The filings offer a glimpse of how Trump is accustomed to operating and suggest why special counsel Robert Mueller has reportedly taken an interest in Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen.
The agreement was negotiated at the end of October 2016, days before the election, when Trump's campaign was reeling from the impact of the "Access Hollywood" tape. The $130,000 payment, which Cohen has said he "facilitated" with personal funds, was not reported as a campaign donation or expenditure.
Daniels says in her suit that in January of this year, when reports of the hush-money payment surfaced, Cohen used "intimidation and coercive tactics" to force her to sign a "false statement" denying any relationship with Trump.
The agreement, as appended to the lawsuit, shows that Cohen formed a company, Essential Consultants LLC, to make the payment to Daniels. It provides for arbitration in the case of disputes. It is signed by Daniels, using her legal name, Stephanie Clifford; and by Cohen, for Essential Consultants. The line for Trump to sign is indeed left blank.
Thanks to Daniels, her lawyer and an unforced error by Sanders, the story Trump has tried so hard to squelch is out. Take a minute and think about it.
The personal lawyer of the president of the United States, days before the election, paid $130,000 to apparently buy the silence of a porn star. Said porn star credibly describes an affair she had with the president and the ham-fisted attempts by his lawyer to keep her from talking about it. All of this unquestionably speaks volumes about the president's character and morals.
Republicans who regarded Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky as the end of civilization as we know it are serenely untroubled. Evangelicals who rail against sin and cloak themselves in piety offer nothing but a worldly, almost Gallic shrug. Daniels has taught us much about their character and morals, too.
Eugene Robinson writes for the Washington Post Writers Group.

Thousands participate in Delhi Half MarathonNovember 14th, 2007 - 2:59 am ICT by admin
Rwanda's Diudone Disi and Ethiopian Deriba Alemu won in men's and women's categories respectively at the third Vodafone Delhi Half Marathon here on Sunday morning.
World number six Disi completed the 21-kilometer race in one hour and 43 seconds, while Alemu took little over one hour 10 minutes to win the race, ending the Kenyan dominance established during the last two editions of the half marathon.
Kenya's Isaac Macharia and world number three Wilson Kiprotich came second and third respectively in the men's race.
In women's category, another Ethiopian Atsede Habtambu came second (1:10:36), while Kenya's Alice Timbill finished third (1:10:40).
The event also saw other races like the senior citizens' run, wheelchair event and great Delhi run.
"The race was very good. It was not so steep, nor downhill and was very short. I could run more but it is okay. Everything was well organised," said Mike, a German, who participated in the wheelchair event.
Suresh Kalmadi, President of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), also present at the event, said: "The Commonwealth Games are in 2010 and all these events are a build-up to it. The Commonwealth Games will not be in the stadium but outside the city and the people in the city will have to make the games great."
Last year's top Indian finisher Ram Singh Yadav once again finished the race earliest among Indian participants. He ended 16th with a time of one hour, six minutes and nine seconds.
Yadav said: "I am happy with my performance."
The total prize money of the event was 160,000 dollars. (ANI)

The phrase "Small cars, small profits" is the blunt retort credited to Edsel Ford when presented with the first proposals for the Fiesta. In the even more Lilliputian world of sub-B cars such as the Panda, or its new rivals Volkswagen's Up or Kia's Picanto, you need to get the production right or you can lose money on every car you sell.
Perhaps that explains why some early products in this sector were so lacklustre to drive and to own. The original Panda of 1980 was basic, but so much like automotive Lego to build that Fiat produced it in three Italian plants; Mirafiori, Desio and Tremini, and one Sicilian, Imerese, which was closed this year. In 23 years, Fiat sold 4.5 million Pandas and it achieved a sort of utilitarian cult status, although the joke was that the last examples were 40 per cent larger than the originals because the press tools were so worn.
Fiat was strangely ambivalent towards reusing that name for its 2003 replacement, which was built in Tychy, Poland. The Italian giant preferred Gingo, which Renault contested, reasoning it was too close to Twingo. So Panda stuck and the Nuova Panda won the 2004 Car of the Year title and sold just over two million in eight years.
So comes time to replace it and this time Fiat has bet on Italy, revamping its old Alfa Romeo factory at Pomigliano d'Arco near Naples. Built as part of Italian government regional policy, it produced Alfasuds from 1972 but has never made more than about 35,000 cars a year. In the last three years Fiat has completely refurbished the place at a cost of €900 million (£761.6 million), with a spanking new production line and extensive staff training. With equally spanking new labour contracts imposed as of this January, Fiat aims to have the plant smoking like the nearby Vesuvius volcano to produce 300,000 Pandas a year.
Sergio Marchionne, Fiat's chief executive, has often talked of his company's obligation to Italy, but this could cost him dear. Where 6,000 Polish workers at Tychy produce 450,000 cars a year at what is estimated to be a third of EU labour cost per man, 5,000 Pomigliano workers will make 300,000 Pandas a year on the most modern production line in Europe. That's 75 cars a man per year from Poland, and 60 cars a man for Naples. In Britain, so far this year Nissan's Tyne and Wear plant has built 445,000 cars with 5,300 staff, equating to 84 cars per man. Flawed science these ratios might be, but they might also explain why Volkswagen is producing its Up in low-wage and non-unionised Bratislava, Slovakia.
The new Panda doesn't look a great deal different from the old model, but that's no criticism as the old one was jaunty, tall and charming. At just under 12ft long, this version is four and a half inches longer, 1.5in wider, and 0.4in taller, with longer front and rear overhangs, but the same wheelbase. There are plastic panels front and rear to minimise parking damage and it feels more rounded than the old.
When it goes on sale this spring there will be three trim levels, four engines, seven option packages and 10 colours.
Climb in and there's a feeling of sitting on top of it and while the seats adjust for height, you still sit quite high. The steering adjusts for rake not reach, so you have to move the chair back and forth, which eats into the rear-seat passengers' leg space, although there is a sliding rear-seat option, which eats into the boot space but is a good bet if you're aiming on filling the rear seats regularly. Much was made of the under-boot waterproof bin, but that only works if you delete the space saver rear wheel. At 250 litres, there's not a lot of luggage space here and there's also scant room for big feet in the pedal box, which brush against the overhanging dashboard.
With Neapolitan roads as badly surfaced as Britain's, but a deal more scary to drive on, we ventured out on the small test route. Unlike its predecessor, the new Panda doesn't feel like a small car, which is good for the cabin ambience but slightly intimidating when threading through narrow gaps. The major controls have a weight and gravitas, indicator stalks are thick and feel as if from an altogether bigger and more expensive car.
Opinions differed about the new facia, which is superficially attractive but badly affected by reflections. Piano black can look attractive, but not with all the contrasting dashboard shades and, on the ancillary and heater switches, it's horribly plasticky. Those reflections also affect the optional TomTom satnav, which can also connect via Bluetooth to warn of traffic jams ahead, but that isn't much cop if you can't see the screen. A collision mitigation brake system is planned, but wasn't available at launch.
There's just a five-speed 'box, but there's enough go in the Twinair two-cylinder engine to allow you to accelerate without continually changing down, although the long gap between first and second gears means you have to rev it hard to avoid dropping into the torqueless world below 2,000rpm. The gearchange is rubbery and imprecise, but it swaps ratios quickly enough. The engine sounds flat and it is difficult to judge by ear alone when to change gear. It also vibrates noticeably under 3,000rpm (far more than the sweet 1.2-litre Fire four-cylinder), which means you need to learn how to drive it, or you'll murder the fuel economy or fizz your toenails off.
With revamped torsion-beam rear suspension and larger bushes on the semi-trailing arms, the ride should be improved and it is, but only in part. The MacPherson strut-suspended front end is more precise, with less take up on the steering and a marginally less abrupt attack to road bumps. It still feels harsh, however, yet the body rolls in corners and at times it feels like a runaway hovercraft. The diesel gives a slightly better all-round ride quality, but commensurately less agility because of the extra weight in the nose.
Electronically powered steering is a virtual carry-over from the old model and, with new software, it has a better and more linear weight, but pants with inconsistent weighting around the dead-ahead position. The brakes are strong and progressive, but the pedal could do with more feel.
Should you buy one? Tricky, especially as there's nothing particularly new here and by increasing the Panda's size rather than miniaturising its components, Fiat has shown a weakness – although it also raises the question of how much small size really matters in this market. And, as with all the rival tiddlers, there's a wealth of extras Fiat needs you to buy to ensure the Panda's profitability.
As ever, this market is one of brand identity versus price. Fiat's track record in this highly commoditised market for cheap transport means buyers might be persuaded to pay a (small) premium for a small Fiat. It's probably worth it: the Panda isn't as advanced as the Up but it's got more cheekiness, looks better and is more fun to drive.
Fiat Panda
Tested: Five-door hatchback with 875cc, parallel-twin petrol engine. Five-speed manual transmission, front-wheel drive
Price/on sale: From £8,000/spring
Power/torque: 84bhp @ 5,500rpm and 107lb ft @ 1,900rpm
Top speed: 110mph
Acceleration: 0-62mph in 11.2sec
Fuel economy: 56.5mpg Urban/67.2mpg Combined
CO2 emissions: 99g/km
VED band: A (£0)
Verdict: Nothing radical, but cheap, cheerful and characterful approach makes it an intriguing contrast to the impressive Volkswagen Up
Telegraph rating: Four out of five stars
Volkswagen Up, from £7,995
Not the most exciting looking entry in the sector, but certainly the most technological. The new three-cylinder petrol engine dispenses with balance shafts which keep it narrow so the overall length is low, but cabin space large, particularly in the back.
Kia Picanto, from £7,995
Style-wise this South Korean tiddler is bang on the money and its little three-cylinder engine is fun and lively, but the brakes are wooden, the steering awful and the dynamics need a lot more work. Sadly it's still the sort of micro car you buy because it's cheap rather than because you love it.

"A Margo for each of us—and each more mirror than window." —John Green, Paper Towns
I think we all have this deep innate desire to be understood. I know I do. We don't want to be thought of as something that we are not, we want to be accepted and valued and seen as we are and not as what other people think we are. We want to be windows, not mirrors. And that's exactly what this blog is; it's my window. The glass is smudged and cracked in places and sometimes when the light hits the dust just right even I can't see through it clearly. The truth is you're never going to 100% know Matthew—I don't even know him yet. But I think that for now almost knowing Matthew will suffice.

As many of you know we have been dealing with the death of one of the street kids that we work with in Streetwise.
It took three weeks but finally! We were able to find his family and and give him a proper burial. I would like to thank all of you for praying for this difficult and LONG process. Our hearts in the entire situation was that these kids would begin to realize that through the way we treated Bupes death with love and respect that it would speak to them of how important and valuable their lives are.
I really don't have words to describe it so I am going to let the pictures below tell the story.

text: Hi there! I know there are like, a bazillion threads out there asking for the same advice, but I've done everything suggested and let me tell you, NOTHING WORKS!! So, I was trying to jailbreak my phone in order to unlock it myself (that was a bust btw) and somewhere along the way after I'd more or less given up, I was trying to take the phone out of DFU mode (after I'd already wiped it completely and restored it to factory settings) when lo and behold - it got stuck in recovery mode. I've had it hooked up to three, THREE different laptops, for the past two days, and still, iTunes insists that there is an error while trying to restore. It's gotten to the point where the apple logo and restore bar don't even show up on the phone, just a USB asking me to connect the iPhone to iTunes. Is there a way to get out of recovery mode so that I can use my phone? Anxiety has set in. I'm worried it'll be a brick forever.

Sri Mariamman Temple
The Sri Mariamman Temple is Singapore's oldest Hindu temple. It is an agamic temple, built in the Dravdian style. Located at No. 244 South Bridge Road, in the downtown Chinatown district, the temple serves mainly South Indian Tamil Hindu Singaporeans in the city-state. Due to its architectural and historical significance, the temple has been gazetted a National Monument and is a major tourist attraction.
The Sri Mariamman Temple was founded in 1827 by Naraina Pillai, eight years after the British East India Company established a trading settlement in Singapore.
Pillai was a government clerk from Penang who arrived in Singapore with Stamford Raffles on his second visit to the island in May 1819. He went on to set up the island's first construction company and brick kiln. He also entered the textile trade. Pillai rapidly established himself in business and was identified as a leader of the Indian community.
The focus of this main prayer hall is the central shrine of Mariamman, which is flanked by the shrines of two secondary deities - Rama and Murugan. The main prayer hall is surrounded by a series of free-standing shrines, housed in pavilion like structures with decorated dome roofs, known as 'Vimana'. These are dedicated to the following deities: Durga, Ganesh, Muthularajah - also known as Mathurai Veeran, a rural Tamil deity, Aravan and Draupadi.

The Indie Arena is a community and nerve-cluster for the independent game developers in the German-speaking countries of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. To us independent means that the games were built with a high degree of creative autonomy. That doesn't mean that our members do this alone or that they do exclusively that. But it means that they are involved with creating the game itself: designers, coders, writers or artists (audio or visual), both hobbyists and professionals.
The heart of our community is the online forum. To join us you need to sign up for that. However there is no open registration as we want the Indie Arena to remain personal and grow organically. If you want to participate then read here how to apply.

SYDNEY (AP) — After taking its opener to Mexico, Japan and Puerto Rico over the past 15 years, Major League Baseball is expanding to a new territory this weekend: Down Under.
When Arizona's Wade Miley throws the first pitch of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the teams will be nearly 7,800 miles from Chase Field in Phoenix.
Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw celebrated his 26th birthday Wednesday by cuddling a kangaroo.
"It's been a good experience for us and, hopefully, we can get a couple of wins and make it a great one," Kershaw said. "Opening day is always fun, no matter what continent it's on."
The games will be played at a revamped cricket field that seats 40,000-plus.
Some things will be familiar: Vin Scully will be in the Dodgers' broadcast booth for the start of his 65th season, a run that dates to the team's time in Brooklyn.
Plate umpire Tim Welke will shout "Play ball!" not too different from a cricket umpire yelling "Play!" before the first ball is bowled.
But there will not be "stumps," the cricket term for when the umpire declares play over for the day.
And no breaks for lunch or tea.
Baseball began its season at Monterrey, Mexico, in 1999; at Tokyo in 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012; and at San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2001. This series marks the 100th anniversary of an exhibition game between the New York Giants and Chicago White Sox at the same venue on Jan. 3, 1914.
The Cricket Ground, opened in 1882, has been transformed into a baseball field over a few weeks. The right- and left-field foul poles are each 328 feet from home plate and straightaway center field is 400 feet away. From all reports, balls have been carrying.
The Dodgers defeated Australia's national team 4-2 Thursday night in an exhibition that drew just 14,385. Yasiel Puig, batting .122 (5 for 41) coming in, hit a two-run homer in the eighth, two innings after throwing out Mike Walker at the plate from right field.
Miley will be pitching in place of Patrick Corbin, who has a partially torn ligament in his left elbow that may require season-ending surgery.
Kershaw, the 2011 and 2013 NL Cy Young Award winner, will be making his first start since signing as $215 million, seven-year contract, the largest deal ever for a pitcher.
"I don't take for granted the contract," Kershaw said Thursday. "It's a really amazing thing that the Dodgers think enough of me to give me something like that. I understand the responsibilities that come with that. As long as you win, everything takes care of itself."
The Dodgers and Diamondbacks play each other nearly 20 times a season in the NL West, and Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said this week that any teams would develop a healthy rivalry in such a situation.
Last June, a brawl between the teams resulted in the suspensions of eight players. And when the Dodgers clinched the West title in Phoenix, a decision by some of their players to jump in the Chase Field swimming pool angered some Diamondbacks.
"I don't know what their sentiment is, but for us, it's just a new season," Kershaw said. "We're just going to play a game, not wonder what could or would happen. We've had our scuffles in the past and it should all be in the past.
"Obviously their big name guys — Paul Goldschmidt, Aaron Hill, Martin Prado — some of these guys they have over there — they play the game the right way. I enjoy watching them play. It's tough to beat them."
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson plans to use Chris Owings and Didi Gregorius at shortstop over the two games as other teams discuss possible trades involving the infielders. With outfielder Cody Ross on the disabled list due to a hip injury, the Diamondbacks could carry two shortstops.
"I'm probably going to play one of them each day," Gibson said. "Not sure how I'm going to do it yet."
Los Angeles, which could overtake the New York Yankees as baseball's biggest spender, went 92-70 last year and won the NL West title by 11 games over the Diamondbacks, then beat Atlanta in the best-of-five division series before losing to St. Louis in a six-game NL championship.

It may be that you would like to have plans drawn up for your new garden or a small project such as a water feature, sun terrace or new border and then implement them yourself, at your own pace; in which case we adopt the following process:-
First meeting we discuss your thoughts for the new garden project
Envisage will give you a fixed price for the design work and give you an order form setting out what is to be provided, for that price.
If the area is over 50 square metres, our survey team accurately measures up the area using our laser total station, which records both distance and site levels. The soil is analyzed and a note of site attributes and challenges is madesuch as views, aspect light, wind and constraints (telegraph poles etc.). Small areas are measured by hand.
Design brief - a member of our design team will ask you about your requirements for the new project and we have an extensive questionnaire to cover most of the usual points raised. Our designers have a great deal of experience and will also make suggestions about what you could do to refresh the garden or project area.
The designers work to produce the outline Concept plan showing all the new ideas and you meet with them to amend and refine the plan until you have reached the point where the final draft can be produced.
A planting plan may also be included after the concept stage.
If you are to implement the project yourself, your designer will be more than happy to advise on the purchasing of materials and some guidance on how to proceed.
On the other hand, if by this stage you would like one of the Envisage teams to construct your project, we will be pleased to give you a price for the work - we already know your project inside out !
Invoices for pure design work are issued in three progress stages, with the final invoice being submitted with the completed drafts.

I'm FragileSwan. And this is WordPress.
When a couple comes together, their lives change. They fall in love. They become part of each others' lives. It's only been the last 100 or so years that girls have broken up with guys. Before that, if a guy wanted a certain girl, and he was willing to commit to her, the two remained together until the guy either died or broke up with the woman.
Humans have evolved in such a way that females have no innate facility to determine whether or not any given condition justifies breaking up. What I mean is, whether the woman will be happier overall without a certain guy. But guys have been dumping girls since the beginning of time. So, breaking up is sort of a masculine thing, I guess.
One big determining factor in whether or not a guy will take a break-up hard is if the couple had intimate contact. From an evolutionary standpoint that implies to the male that he is responsible for the female. When the female leaves the male, she has some context—albeit false—in which to frame it. The guy has only bewilderment, because nature did not intend for such a thing to happen.
So, there's a bond broken that was intended to be severed by the male only. If the female severs the bond, the guy usually just dies. It's so predictable it can be assumed. But there are some guys who survive! How do they do it?
In heartbreak, central-nervous-system (CNS) dopamine levels drop, which is the direct biological cause of the sensation of heartbreak (grief). One sure way to combat grief is to place one's self in mortal danger. This increases the level of dopamine, because that's an integral component of the survival fight or flight syndrome.
Depressed subjects may require medical treatment, only because the individual is allowed to deteriorate to a life-threatening state. So, if a man's life is threatened by the cataclysmic decline in available CNS dopamine, due to a break-up, he may gravitate to a risky lifestyle until he can find some other girl. It's weird, but guys don't really think about girls as individuals.
It's more like beer. A guy can just grab another one. It's not like there's only one can of beer in the world! Girls think more about guys as people, like with feelings and stuff. But if a guy seemingly changes for the worse after a break-up, he's trying to get dopamine to replace what is lost during heartbreak.
Until the guy is happy again, the girl cannot be happy or move on. Sometimes this prompts the girl to kill the guy. I know a guy who was disabled for life as direct result of civil divorce. But he didn't die! He lives on as irrefutable evidence against the civil courts in this nation. Consequently, the medical, legal and dental industries have made 13 murder attempts on him.
He's not a smart guy. He sounds like he has a stump in his mouth! He is no one who could escape from a well-laid plan by people with graduate degrees and years of professional experience. But God Loves this guy! The Heavenly Father has said,
"I Behold I, Yes I, The Lord God Almighty speaks, 'My Beloved Son, You see they have done you no harm, because they were unable. They see with blind eyes and hear with deaf ears, because they exalt human understanding, consequently making themselves laughing-stock for The Sons of God! But You see differently, not with Your eyes and ears, but by every Word that is uttered forth from the mind of Almighty God!
'They have made clear their desire: they refuse to live on the same planet with You. Therefore, your undeserved enemies—enemies who mock everything legitimate and truthful—have been placed on notice that they have 48 hours to vacate the planet's surface, permanently.
'I'm not an unreasonable God. Perhaps they did not anticipate such difficulty slaying a poor, feeble, disabled old man whose trust was completely in the hands of his would-be murderers. Lo, to those who know not holy scripture! For it is written,
"I AM The Lord God Almighty, through Whom all things came into being! This is the one I approve: the lowly, afflicted man whose heart trembles at My Word!"
'My Beloved lives in testimony to My Love, Kindness and Power! All are welcome to turn toward Me and repent from sin. But I have hardened your hearts! If you create no further trouble, and you sincerely try to make amends for the egregious evil you have wrought, you may escape further notice.
'You will be free to remain on the planet's surface illegally. But you have been indicted on serious charges. You have been sentenced to death. It's up to each individual whether or not the sentence shall be carried out sooner, or later.'"
That's all God said.
