DAESH vs ISIS and the ignorance of the West
I really don't understand the debate about the preference of using the acronyms DAESH over ISIS when they both mean the same thing: Islamic State in Iraq and Sham (Syria). ISIS gives no more legitimacy then DAESH does to this barbaric group which flies the colors of a terrorist state in the making. For God's sake, if you do not wish to call this group a "state", find them another name, like: "Crazy Bloodthirsty Demons in Iraq and Syria" or "Armed Psychopaths in Iraq and Syria".
To many diplomats I have heard speaking in the past few days, the invented derogatory meaning of the Arabic acronym DAESH is even more disturbing. According to this article, the term DAESH is close to "Dahes" or "one who sows discord". Seriously??
First, Dahes or داهس which by the way means in English the person who runs over someone else, or crushes someone else, is not close to the arabic pronunciation of DAESH/ داعش. Any arabic speaker can confirm that.
Second, the continuous justification of the use of the DAESH as a derogatory term simply underlines how the west views the Arabic language as barbaric and violent.
Mr. Cameron and co, the Islamic State in Iraq and Sham calls itself DAESH, therefore by using the term it prefers rather than the English acronym, you have not only called this terrorist state by it's real name which it's been marketing on it's new acquired territory, you are also showing how ignorant and how racist the west is. Get an Arabic translator before you go into ridiculous debates, and if you still have time, try to help these poor people in Iraq and Syria to whom you have exported all your crazy bloodthirsty animals!
Here is the topic of debate in England: defining what to call a terrorist group instead of help finding ways to stop it from spreading its madness!

11 types of facebook commenters on Mia Khalifa's photos
While I was working on a research paper the other day and checking scientific articles on Facebook, I came across Mia Khalifa's profile photos BY MISTAKE. I guess everyone else came across Mia's profile by mistake, just like me. Ten minutes later, I found myself sipping a hot cocoa, and reading the few thousands comments on her pics. And here are 11 types of commenters I have stumbled upon.
WARNING: this post contains genitalia.
1- The haters (and busterds) of course who happen to support ISIS
2- The Priest ya shar….
3- The micro-penis Lebanese "Fa7el"
4- The guy who supports local products

6- The gays of course
7- And the lesbians.

On Human Rights, Homophobia and Donors' Priorities
On Human Rights, Homophobia and Donors' Priorities
I had an interesting side conversation last night about donors priorities versus civil society needs. I do agree that sometimes there need to be a better rapprochement between the two so as to reduce the level of corruption, and implementing projects for the sake of pleasing the donor rather than addressing the issues that are at the core of the NGO's interest.
However, I would like to note a few points on this issue:
1- Mushrooming NGOs and benefit oriented NGOs or the so called "family business NGOs" are there and will always please the donor because they are opportunists and all they think of is the money. I see and work with NGOs everyday that refuse to abide by donors priorities and are still able to make a change in their environment. And they have my respect and the donors'. They are committed to their cause, they are doing their best to find other funding sources. And yes it is a bit more challenging for them, but at the end of the day they are still doing by their mission and cause because they believe in it.
2- I was stricken by the example which a dear (very dear) human rights activist and friend of mine gave me to support his theory on disparity between donors and beneficiaries priorities: "If the donor wants to support LGBT rights, well this not our top priority, we have other more important things to look at…"
Well my dear friend, and my dear civil society colleagues, every Human Rights campaign is a priority for the group that is concerned by it. When every day men, women and transgender people are arrested and put in jail, sexual, physically abused, when they are thrown out of their jobs, bullied by their families and communities, when they suffer from sickness and do not get the proper care, I cannot allow myself to say or even think that their needs are not a Human Rights priority.
Every Human Rights issue is a priority because when we stop believing so, these questions of rights loose the attribution of HUMANITY, of HUMAN and they become a number of random rights that we address by choice or convenience.
For once and for all, when we talk about LGBT rights, about dignity, equality, hope, freedom, justice, we are talking about the rights of the most discriminated against portion of our society. A portion that is often the most creative, compassionate, innovative and brave, but living a double life, hiding from discrimination and bullying. I cannot stop thinking of LGBT rights as a Human Rights priority when there are laws in Lebanon that discriminate against LGBT people and can put them in jail.
Human Rights are universal, there is no such thing as a priority in Human Rights, there is no such thing as a priority in injustice! The LGBT community is a core part of our Lebanese, Middle Eastern, Near Eastern, Arab, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim, Atheist, Deist, Rural, Urban, Nomade communities. I am so done with hearing discriminatory comments on this issue. It is time to mature, grow up and understand that Homophobia is wrong, Homophobia is weak, Homophobia is every indication of contempt, lack of empathy and dismissal of the rights of LGBT people, equally human to every one in humanity.
If the donors are making LGBT rights a priority, it's because we are blind enough to see and recognize the needs of a discriminated against, disadvantaged and marginalized community…

NEWS NOTES: Synod Week in Review
I said it a few months ago that it will happen soon. The Catholic Church is walking on steady tracks to an inclusive approach toward all its followers and believers. Brave but shy, yet commendable! Keep it up!
Synod news, particularly in regard to lesbian and gay issues, has been fast and furious this week. Here are some articles that you might find of interest:
1. The International Business Timescaptured reactions to the synod's working paper which affirms lesbian and gay people. The report focuses on comments from Nicholas Coppola, who was dismissed from his parish's volunteer ministries because he legally married a man in New York state.
2. New Ways Ministry's Sister Jeannine Gramick is interviewed by Al-Jazeeraabout the Church's new approach to lesbian and gay people.
3. The Daily Beast's Barbie Latza Nadeau notes that this synod may have included voices of lay Catholics, but the real question is whether the "men of the cloth are listening." She comments on several LGBT-related synod events.
4. While the synod was happening in Rome, LGBT Catholics met in Portugal to start the first World Organization of Homosexual…

Catholics Seek Legal Rights, Pastoral Welcome for All Families
Progress is inevitable…
As if this past decade had brought enlightenment to legislators, jurists, politicians, parents but most importantly to religious leaders who now embrace the inclusive approach to homosexuality in many churches around the world. But the Catholic Church, one of the largest in the world is still far from connecting with a significant portion of its followers. Pope Francis made the first right step forward, Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki of Berlin won the Respect Prize by Berlin's Alliance Against Homophobia, and many more will follow. I am just hoping the hierarchy does not win over reform…
Advancing LGBT rights in the U.S. is increasingly a struggle about supporting families, both in the church and under the law. Below are several stories in which Catholics are standing up for just civil laws and inclusive pastoral care.
Adoption Rights
New legislation, known as the Inclusion Act, has been introduced in the U.S. Congress that would allow religiously-based agencies receiving government funds to refuse same-gender couples access to foster care and adoption services. This act has received the support of at least three Catholic bishops, but Marianne Duddy-Burke, executive director of DignityUSA criticized it in an essay on The Huffington Post. She also happens to be the adoptive parent, with her wife ,of two girls. She wrote:
"In almost every case, [same-sex couples] have given their kids an abundance of love and stability. The intentionality with which they chose to parent is carried forward into their raising of their daughters and sons. They have…

Tripoli's Massive PR Crisis: Beer Ads Banned In The City
Ghazali's actions are unconstitutional and violate our consecrated right for freedom of expression, freedom of worship and freedom to live anywhere in Lebanon without fearing discrimination. I hope the central government and Minister Mashnouk takes proper actions towards this Mayor who thinks himself above the law. This is not the real image of Tripoli you are portraying! We will not believe you!
A Separate State of Mind | A Blog by Elie Fares
It must be tough being from Tripoli lately, or at least tougher than average for the people of a city long forgotten by successive governments, left to its own accord to make do with the little it has.
It wasn't enough for people from Tripoli to have to deal with the fact that the other Lebanese, quick as they are to judge and believe their views are scripture, believe them all to be undercover members of ISIS or ISIS members to be.
It wasn't enough as well for those unfazed by the ISIS threat (yet) to deal with the fact that their city has become synonymous with mayhem, sporadic fights, mini wars and hating the Lebanese army. No amount of tweets, Facebook posts or mini gatherings on the street and billboards in support of the army or in condoning the behavior of some of the city's men would change that…

Article related to marriage and celibats in Lebanon what the Demoiselles are thinking?
While visiting a friend, her very courteous middle-aged male guest stood up to shake my hand and "politely" asked me: Should I call you Demoiselle or Madame? Flashing a big smile, which quickly turned into an expression of confusion and disturbance. I had simply answered him: "You can call me as you like – متل ما بدك"!
Clearly he was not expecting my reply, or should I say he was not expecting to reflect on whether I was a virgin or not!
Sadly that is the new Lebanese/Arab dimension of the words: demoiselle and madame…

Lebanon: "Misses" Don't Miss Much
Social pressures on single women fail to acknowledge their economic independence, educational, and professional achievements, or the fact that "late marriage" is the statistical norm.
Her scattered grey hairs seem to render the trick of hiding them beneath colored hair useless. Her eyes have lost their former glow. Her facial lines are "under control" thanks to cosmetics whose container "annoys" her, as it suggests her age. Her stomach is slightly rounded. The fat refuses to burn. She gestures…

Mayu Meditation Co-op is member-owned, member-operated, member-supported.
Board officers are elected from within Mayu Co-op membership. Practicing and Professional members have voting rights.
Board Chair: Deb Brackney
Board Officer since 2019
"In 2015 I saw an email invitation to become a member of the Mayu Meditation Cooperative. Immediately I joined. I recognized this was an opportunity to bridge my wonderful, chaotic external world to the internal sanctuary found inside the walls of Mayu Meditation Cooperative. The Mayu bridge serves as my link between Action and Contemplation. It is the reason I am honored to be the Chair for the Mayu cooperative.
"I have a strong belief in, and commitment to, the mission and vision of the Mayu. One of my career passions is to work with organizations whose mission and vision are what drives their success. Mayu certainly has a mission and vision that is not only important to our community; it is what powers Mayu's operations."
Board Secretary: A.C. Hill
Board Officer since 2019
"My meditation journey began in an earlier stage of my life. During high school my Chinese language teacher guided our class through meditative breathing before his instruction. I did not realize at the time, but a seed was planted, a seed that laid dormant for years, and fully bloomed once I joined the Mayu community. I joined Mayu in June 2018, and since that time my mind has been opened to the transformative nature of self reflection. I now meditate several times a week, and make a conscious effort to embrace drop-in meditation sessions.
"My collegiate journey provided me with the opportunity to hold various executive board positions. As a brother of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated, I served as my chapter's Secretary, Historian, and Treasurer. These positions sharpened my communications and recording skills. I was personally responsible for recording minutes, creating budgets, and facilitating correspondence between my chapter and the school community. I look forward to serving you as Mayu's Board Secretary."
Board Treasurer: Cierra McNamara
Board Officer since 2015
"As the founder of Mayu I am continually amazed at the community which has formed to support this unique drop-in meditation center. From Day One the center has drawn in staff, visitors, co-op members and team leaders who enthusiastically carry the original vision forward.
"As manager of Mayu and as Board Treasurer, I have a 360 degree view of the co-op, a perspective I wish I could share with every member. Behind every dollar Mayu earns there is fellow seeker with a story – a person doing their best to navigate life, and who is grateful to have this community for support. It fills me with gratitude to watch the center evolve, witness friendships being made, and to be in service to our membership."
Member-at-Large: Kristin Doherty
Board Officer since 2018
"I love this community and what Mayu Sanctuary represents. My involvement with the co-op has evolved over the years, and I view this as one of my strengths as I've grown in my personal practice here while witnessing Mayu's own growth and expansion.
"As a trauma-informed yoga teacher working with people in a behavioral health hospital and an addiction treatment center, I see more than ever, the importance and value of having a space like Mayu to connect, recharge, and learn. My background in education, marketing, and as small business owner offers a unique perspective to help me fulfill the duties for this position. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve this growing community."
Member-at-Large: Dorian Merrill
Board Officer since 2018
"I started visiting Mayu regularly in the Spring of 2015 and have been a Full member of the co-op since early 2016. As one of the center's "frequent sitters," I visit for drop-in meditation and classes most days of the week and am an active volunteer, participating in work days, member events, and fundraising activities throughout the year.
"I understand the details of Mayu's operations and wholeheartedly support the co-op's mission. I have professional experience both running a small business and contributing to the success of a large public company, and also have experience as a long-term volunteer with other organizations to draw on. My pragmatic perspective, coupled with optimism for Mayu's future, make me a balanced and capable member of the leadership team stewarding Mayu to continued success."

The death of Osama Bin Laden, leader of the radical Al-Qaeda network, has become the focus of world attention during the past week. How not, the person is regarded as the most responsible for the majority of acts of terrorism in this world finally overpowered after search efforts for years. The war waged on the ground Afghanistan, casualties, and material losses in the amount of super big happens one person only to find it.
Sudden attack Americans in Abbottabad, Pakistan indeed save a million mysteries. Osama's corpse which was never published, helicopter technology that reportedly are stealth assailants, and "ignorance" of the existence of Osama Pakistan became headlines in the mass media around the world. But did you know that you also memilliki opportunity to become part of one of the largest military operation of Navy Seals this? Of course not directly, but the video games offer the possibility of it through a little creativity.
Kuma War is the first to bring this phenomenon. As an online FPS game that focuses on re-creation of major military operations in the world, Kuma War brings the mission to kill Osama in Abbottabad as one of the new mission has to offer. You are also asked to search for all material relating to intelligence that Al-Qaeda from the mission. It looks really simple, but you can catch Osama figure clearly enough presented.
Phenomenal world FPS game, Counter-Strike is also trying to present these events are real to the gamer. Through Counter Strike: Source, a free map by capturing the atmosphere of Abbottbad presented in detail. Is unclear whether you'll find a character or NPC with Osama-like face in it. You can play the mission hostage and bomb in this area.
Despite the different opinions that may occur when looking at the role of Al-Qaeda and the United States that may be pushed from a variety of classes, games like this, of course, comes without any bad intentions. Just trying to catch one of the most important events in 2011 this or just want to provide experiences that may be felt in video games only. The other reason? Popularity.

Return of the Sad-and-Pathetic Photo TR: KD Opening Day '07Paramount is still bustin' out all over

Archived Photo Trip Reports of Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, and Donkeys!
Return of the Sad-and-Pathetic Photo TR: KD Opening Day '07
Well, it's time for the first full season under Kings Dominion's new regime--Paramount is dead! Long live Cedar Fair!
Paramount may be dead, but its ghost still lingers. It doesn't appear that CF took a lot of care in "de-Paramountizing" the park, aside from the maps, a sign here and there, and the CMs' name badges. You'll still find the Paramount name and logo on shirts in all the shops (gotta sell that back inventory) and on many of the trash cans, and those Paramount movie props are still ringing the Eiffel Tower.
And there is one interesting, somewhat more irritating holdover from the old boss. Remember how they used to play music from different movies and TV shows, such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Leave It to Beaver, all over the place? Today, except for the music in the Nick section and the jungle drums in the Congo, the only music being played in the park, from the main gate to the Grove to Old Virginia, was . . .
the theme from Star Trek: First Contact!
Yes, I heard that music pretty much constantly for the the six hours or so I spent at KD. Would love to know what the story is behind this. Is this the only music CF could get the rights to use?
Well, theme music aside, the weather was great, the crowds were pretty light, and I had a good time. And, yes, there was but one-train operation on all the park's rough and wild woodies. But Volcano was its usual awesome self, as was Flight of freakin' Fear.
And now here's a bunch of those things that are supposed to say a thousand words. Enjoy.
PS--if you have one of those temporary KD or CF Maxx Passes, just go to any open ticket window, and the cashier will trade it for a "permanent" plastic card (no muss, no fuss).
PPS--I have a suspicion that CF may be using a new vendor for KD's soft-serve ice cream. It used to be pretty good--now it really sucks. Yes, this pallid, stale-tasting twirl of gelatinous goo would probably better serve as a low-grade stamp adhesive than as a snack treat.
Part two of the pics.
Seems like you had a great time. I was there as well, and you're absolutely right about Cedar Fair taking there sweet time with getting rid of the Paramount stuff. However as I was waiting for them to open up the parking gates, one of the attendants I spoke to said that they have until the beginning of next season to 'de-Paramount' the place, to include the electronic billboard that can be seen from all over the park and I95.
-Bill 'CoasterBill04' Yetman
It'll be interesting to watch the "de-Paramounting" progress. I knew they were stuck with the big sign out by I-95 for a while.
I know they took off the P-word from the big sign just inside the main entrance at Kings Island, and at Carowinds, too, but why not at KD.
Or they could have made it a Drew Carey theme park, where Mimi plays "Panama" by Van Halen all day long.
Also, did Ananconda get the seat belts?
P.S. I spent $10 for 2 slices of pizza and a Coke at KI last year...
I Hoping to be able to go visit this week or some weekend that i have off.
Does andaconda have seat belts now?

10 Miles.
In 1 hour 11 Minutes and 28 seconds.
It does not seem to be a very long distance.
However, while running it my whole body was on fire from the effort.
Hard to believe but I was able to stay under 7 minutes per mile until mile 6.
Then I significantly started to slow down because we hit the hilly part of the course.
THRILLED with shaving the better part of 90 seconds from last year's time.
So it looks like I am improving for the 2012 Clot Buster Triathlon Season.
Let's see if I can shed a few more lbs and then I will be in business...
Can't wait to get out oand be racing. More so now that I have more in the Varga Family ready to cheer me on...
Very much looking forward to getting the newest CLOT BUSTER - STOP THE CLOTS jerseys out on the roads and racing.
For now I am attempting to recover and birthday cake all of this week is getting me there.
Thanks for reading,

SCOTT WILSON on HERSHEL + THE WALKING DEAD (Part B - MF GALAXY 11)
In 1967, actor Scott Wilson delivered a chilling performance in In Cold Blood that put him on the cover of Life Magazine when he was only 24 years old. He went on to appear in numerous celebrated films including The Great Gatsby, The Right Stuff, Dead Man Walking, and Monster, and he was a recurring guest on CSI.
But it's his work on the highest-rated US television show, The Walking Dead, in which Wilson plays veterinarian and farmer Hershel Greene, that has done more than anything before to make Wilson a star. He now earns more from his autograph-signing sessions at conventions than he does from acting, and The Walking Dead is the focus of our conversation: the physical difficulties of playing Hershel; the dramatic power of Hershel's personality and character arc; and the series' outstanding acting, directing, and production.
Throughout this episode, Wilson refers to Ernest Dickerson, the acclaimed television and feature filmmaker who directed many of the most action-packed episodes of The Walking Dead. Wilson also refers to Dickerson in the context of the 1992 Spike Lee feature Malcolm X, for which Dickerson was the director of photography. At the end, Dickerson joins us to discuss working with Scott Wilson

Lakeland City Commission Makes Decision to Cancel Public Forum to Discuss Munn Park Confederate Monument
Updated 11/6/2017 | 9:45 AM
LAKELAND, FL (November 3, 2017) - The Lakeland City Commission made a decision to cancel the public forum to discuss the Confederate Monument located at Munn Park. The public forum was scheduled on November 14th at the RP Funding Center. On Friday, November 3rd, the Lakeland City Commission voted 5-2 in favor of cancelling the public forum due to the concern that outside special interest groups could cause dissension based on what is happening around the country.
The City Commission was asked to reschedule the meeting by the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority due to many conflicts taking place the same evening including a Lakeland Magic game at the RP Funding Center, the Holiday Walk-About taking place in downtown Lakeland and the joint event with the Florida Dance Theater and the Imperial Symphony Orchestra also taking place at the RP Funding Center.
With the discussion about rescheduling the public forum, the City Commission came to the decision to cancel the event. Commissioner Edie Yates made a motion to cancel the event based on feedback the City Commission has already received by local citizens regarding the Monument located in Munn Park. Yates said, "We have heard from our constituents. We all have a very thick stack of correspondence from our citizens on their opinion of what we should do with the monument. We need to make a decision and quit kicking the can down the road."
The motion passed 5-2 with Commissioner Selvage and Commissioner Malless voting in favor of having a public meeting. A great deal of discussion took place before the vote with input by all Commissioners regarding concerns about interference from special interest groups that have mobilized around the country during similar events. Commission Walker said, "I'm concerned about these groups initiating safety and civility concerns, creating havoc and the possibility of violence." He added, "When you get heated groups all together in confined space, you are inviting trouble."
Commissioner Selvage said, "We own this thing and we do need to make a decision." Commissioner Walker and Commissioner Troller both expressed concerns about special interest groups outweighing local voices during the public forum. Mayor Wiggs said, "We all see the level of involvement by the national groups representing both sides of the issue. We don't need to invite chaos and create a possible media circus in our community."
City Commission to Vote December 4th
The Commission will decide the fate of the Confederate Monument at the Monday, December 4th City Commission meeting. The Commission will also allow public comment during the December 4th meeting. A final decision about the Confederate Monument in Munn Park has not been made. The City Commission did ask the City Manager and City Attorney to bring a resolution to the December 4th City Commission Meeting that outlines a master plan for Munn Park. The Commission, in a 4-2 decision (Commission Malless was absent during the workshop), instructed staff to bring a master plan that includes leaving the monument in place but also includes a plan to have additional statues/monuments that celebrates Lakeland cultural diversity.
Citizen Opinion
Even though the City Commission asked staff to bring a park master plan to the December 4th meeting, no final decision has been made. Citizens that would like to share their opinions regarding the proposed Munn Park master plan and the fate of the Confederate Monument are encouraged to contact the Lakeland City Commission through email: email@example.com

Corporate Catering Salisbury QLD
8 Expert Tips For Picking the Right Catering Service In Salisbury
When it concerns the important things that can make or break an occasion, couple of are as essential as the quality, flavor and look of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your decision which caterer to work with, and if you think this choice truly isn't really that crucial, look at it in this manner, incredible catering can rescue an event that's on the rocks, however bad catering will usually send out guests to the doors.
In addition, since catering is frequently the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for most events, the catering service you select is also a significant monetary decision and can affect how much money you have left over to spend on other areas depending on food costs and amounts.
Include that caterers can differ significantly in their pricing and the types of meals and services they provide, and the procedure of picking a caterer can figuratively and literally seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Requirements
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, mainly because how responsive and interested a caterer is during your preliminary conversations is a sign of how they will perform during the length of their agreement with you (and more on contracts later).
A potential catering service needs to be learning as much as they can about you in your very first few discussions with them, so you ought to anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you supplying answers and describing your needs about 80% of the time.
# 2 Capability To Manage Your Specific Type of Occasion In Salisbury 4107
Not every catering service is best or every kind of event, and lots of catering services themselves freely admit this.
So when interviewing your Salisbury caterers (and you must talk with at least 3 catering services for any event with a reasonable budget plan), you have to be specific about the type of event you are preparing and the kind of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you might wind up choosing a catering service who simply isn't a good suitable for the type or style of your occasion.
Practically every caterer has a basic menu or menus to select from, and numerous do provide some level of built-in flexibility to adapt these menus to your particular needs by substituting particular items and/or tailoring others.
However, the standout catering services will surpass standardized menu options and be willing to create incredible fare that matches much more specific style and dietary needs.
# 3 Desire To Supply Tastings
How will you ever understand what a catering service can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you know what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you particularly attempt them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the particular items they desire for their event since it looks like a hassle for the caterer, however it is standard to ask for a sampling of exactly what you are meaning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can ask for wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small cost to pay to ensure you pick the right catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also address how it exists, as any caterer who makes the effort to effectively display a sample will probably be more likely to make that sort of effort on your occasion day.
Are you an event supervisor who needs to handle catering details, spending plans and tasks?
Or are you a caterer who needs to track proposals, invoices, meal choices, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You may remain in for a surprise if you work with a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraiser. Or if you pick a high-end business event caterer to serve a barn wedding. Why? Since these caterers might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more particular depending on restrictions of the venue itself, like in the case of museums and historical sites.
A lot more conventional places can also have restrictions that caterers should follow, like certain setup standards or disposal restrictions for waste food and water, so having a caterer that is familiar with a venue's guidelines can possibly save you great deals of hassle on event day.
# 5 Complete Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's contract should clearly define precisely what food, drinks and services the catering service will be supplying on the designated day( s). Additionally, it should protect you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you may wish to consider having a lawyer} look at it before you sign it.
Every detail must be consisted of in the agreement, consisted of chosen menus, number of portions and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service details (if applicable) and all rates and additional services.
No catering service in Salisbury with a shred of self-respect and scruples enters into an agreement with strategies to bail at the last minute, but you have to make sure there is a cancellation clause in your contract simply in case your caterer needs to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your event, so simply make sure cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 References You Can Call and Speak With
Obviously you will have to look into the caterers you are thinking about, and it's always great to start online and check out sites.
However, don't stop there, as online reviews are not always reliable (or perhaps authentic); for instance, a good caterer may have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who skew their ratings, while a genuinely mediocre caterer may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can find some past customers of the caterers you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we talked to called insurance coverage "a provided" for caterers, and you certainly don't want to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Kitchen Area Personnel
Remarkably, how long a catering business in Salisbury has stayed in business may not be as critical in picking a terrific caterer as you may think.
So make certain to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV since he or she will most likely be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

Now in its eighth year, National Biotechnology Week running September 16 – 23 is a celebration of imagenenation by Canada's biotechnology scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs.
The business of science in Canada is booming. The bio-economy has an $86.5-billion value – more than 7 per cent of our national GDP. Canadians in cities and towns across the country are researching, developing, selling and using biotechnology products.
Peter Brenders is the president and CEO BIOTECanada. Brenders is currently a member of the Advisory Board for the National Research Council's (NRC) Institute for Marine Biosciences and the NRC's Institute for Nutrisciences and Health, and acts in advisor roles with DFAIT and ACOA.
The term bio-economy refers to the application of biotechnology processes, products and tools to create new methods of manufacturing and developing consumer products and services. The three primary components of Canada's bio-economy are health, industrial processes and agriculture.
We encounter bio-related technology everyday. From a car seat made from soybean poly oils to the therapies for Alzheimer's and cancer, biotechnology touches every aspect of our daily life. This multi-billion economic impact together with Canada's large natural resource supply and innovative and entrepreneurial population has made Canada into one of the top five global biotechnology markets.
Canada's strong bio-economy puts Canada in the position of taking a truly global leadership role in the field of biotechnology. In order to accomplish this lead, we require continued strong federal commitment to our industry-operating environment coupled with a financing strategy addressing the unique characteristics of the biotechnology industry in Canada. The Canadian biotechnology industry has established itself as a vital catalyst to address the global issues of improved health care, supply of renewable energy, create new industrial and manufacturing capacity and environmental management.
Through our advocacy efforts we are asking the government to align public policy to maximize the opportunity to commercialize new biotechnology products here in Canada and bring them to the global marketplace.
Provide a certain and competitive regulatory environment for new products addressing market demands.
Introduce the necessary regulatory amendments within the Food and Drugs Act to modernize Canada's regulatory system for health products; specifically including regulatory provisions for an Orphan Product Policy and Subsequent-Entry Biologic pathway within the framework.
Renew federal funding for immunization programs.
Create a permanent trust fund tied to the expansion of the National Immunization Strategy goals; to ensure new vaccine technologies can be incorporated into public vaccine programs.
Agriculture and Nutrition
Provide clear and integrated regulatory systems for new agricultural products.
Streamline the regulatory system with greater cooperation among and between the government departments and improve the current operating environment for companies pursuing regulatory approvals for novel foods.
Industrial bio-products
Establish regulatory, procurement and investment capacity.
Define a clear national policy vision for the bio product sector captured in the next agricultural federal framework Growing Forward II. Develop a clear regulatory pathway for non-food/feed industrial and oilseed crops.
Industry-wide – Financing SR&ED
Keep the SR&ED program valuing clinical trial work being done in Canada and enable companies to grow their operations in Canada with foreign investment.
The Government of Canada should remove the current CCPC restriction against refundable SR&ED tax credits in order to encourage companies to seek foreign and public sources of capital.
Flow-through shares
Expand the existing FTS program to include junior biotechnology companies to attract some of the 1.5 billion in new capital required annually from the public and private capital markets.
The FTS program has a proven track record for creating new risk capital; over the last 25 years, the program has created more than $10 billion in new capital for the mining sector alone. This model of success can be replicated in Canada's bio-economy. It is estimated expanding the FTS program to Canada's biotechnology sector will generate nearly $1 billion in new wealth and economic gains, as a result of incremental R&D performed in Canada alone.
Intellectual property
Maintain a globally competitive IP regime aimed at keeping Canada at the forefront of development and commercialization of innovative products.
Effective IP drives investment and jobs into an economy. Canada must remain a destination nation for capital investment from large multinationals and the global investment community. Canada must keep enhancing its IP regime such as data protection through the CETA negotiations to ensure we do not fall behind the EU or US in our capacity to compete for investment.
As we look to the next generation of economic growth with our industry we continue to seek opportunities to catalyze new technologies into the commercialization cycle as a solution for the challenges faced by traditional industries. This includes new manufacturing processes for the automotive and chemistry industries, environmental solutions for the forestry and resource industries, new sources of renewable energy, and successful innovative vaccine and health therapeutics meeting increased health care demands.
From coast to coast, Canada has a strong network of companies and individuals working to make ensure we stay among the world's best in biotechnology. National Biotechnology Week is an important part of making sure we take the time to celebrate all we have achieved, knowing we have much more to accomplish in the future.

Classic Cars Review
Author: Michael Brunnbauer Publisher: TeNeues
For decades, a passion for vintage motors was regarded as an eccentric hobby, particularly prevalent among the wealthy of an older generation. Today, classic cars have an ever larger, younger fan base. Events such as the Mille Miglia in Italy, the Festival of Speed at Goodwood in England, and Pebble Beach in the U.S. enjoy increasing popularity and booming visitor numbers, year after year. In an opulent coffee table book, Classic Cars Review celebrates the classic car phenomenon by presenting the most beautiful, exciting, and exclusive vintage vehicles, until now only visible in museums or behind the locked doors of private collections. It's a Concours d'Élégance in book form, showcasing such icons as the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, Aston Martin DB5, and Rolls-Royce Phantom III, as well as a multitude of extraordinary cars with remarkable histories—whether owned by well-known personalities or ushered in extraordinary successes on the racetrack. Many of these cars were produced in minimal runs or are one of few surviving models. In addition to the vehicles themselves, this must-have classic car book also shows the institutions and key players behind the exclusive vintage car scene. With large, never-before-seen collections and their collectors, Classic Cars Review provides exclusive insights into the world of the largest classic car auction houses, the most innovative classic car dealers, and all the key vintage car events.

Starbucks is all set to launch its new loyalty program effective from April this year. The major change which has been implemented in the new loyalty program is the earning of stars. In the old system, the number of stars earned was based on the count of transactions of a customer. In the new system, the stars would be awarded based on the amount spent at each transaction. Another significant aspect of the loyalty program is that, the prepaid card system will be launched by the end of 2016, which would function like a Visa Card and would be acceptable at other retail outlets too. The reward point structure on the card usage outside of Starbucks has yet not been structured, but it will soon be in place.
According to the old loyalty program of Starbucks, each transaction earned customers a star. This resulted in rewards in terms of a free coffee or snack after 12 visits with spending as less than $2. It took 12 stars to reach the Gold status. This also resulted in the increasing trend of splitting the bill. However, according to the new loyalty program, customers will be awarded reward points based on the expenditure amount. Starting from April 12, customers will be awarded two stars per dollar spent at Starbucks. Also under the new program, it will take 125 stars to reach the Gold status. The company has announced that at the launch of the new loyalty program, existing customers will benefit from the program, as their reward points will be multiplied by 11. This step is expected to increase the acceptance of the new scheme among present customers.
The brand has stated that the new program was launched after going through the customer feedback and suggestions on the "My Starbucks Idea" program. On the Starbucks Rewards Prepaid Card front, the company has partnered with Chase for the launch, later this year. This reloadable card could be used for purchases even outside Starbucks outlet with Visa Card acceptance.
Another interesting thing to note is there is no service charge or charge of loading money in this prepaid card. However, it might attract foreign transaction charges in case or lose or replacement. The card can be applied using the Starbucks mobile app or through company website. The reward point earning system on usage of this card against other retail outlets has yet not been declared by the brand. It can be presumed similar to other cards. It might be a point for a dollar spent in some cases or three or four times over, with a merchant.
Starbucks, the brand which bases its business mainly on coffee sales, expects that the new program will aid the better store functionality in the long run. It is also expected to increase the other food item sales among people in order to earn extra reward points. The Prepaid Card system is also expected to draw in customers from the young age group.

Crochet an Easy Toddler Poncho
I'd lost my crochet mojo for a while. Well, only for a few months, but considering I used to carry yarn and hook in my purse everywhere I went, it was a lost feeling. Then with my cousin's suggestion to join Ride for Heart Cancer charity ride, most of my family will be participating in … Continue reading
From Yarn To Perfection
Some people see plain yarn, but I see so many possibilities. Scarf? Cowl? Shawl? But most likely a hat. I love making hats! They are a fast project compared to others and I need to see the progress and completion fairly quickly to keep me motivated to continue crocheting. I look at yarn and the … Continue reading

Editors note: This is the first of a series of interviews with people in vaporwave, I hope you enjoy this first piece.)
Vaporwave is a genre where you can be both an artist and a fan, it's also a genre where the barrier between the artist and the fan is basically nonexistent. Due to it's size and meme status (also adding up MTV's pillaging of it's look), it's a genre where anybody whether music lover or artist can get into the genre and find someone or an audience to connect with.
Nobody knows this better than 3D Blast who many consider a superstar in the vaporwave world but still an outsider when it comes to real life. He has his own podcast, he has multiple top supported albums on Bandcamp, he even has his album on /r/vaporwave's "best of 2016" list and it's position #2.
Everybody has beginnings whether experienced or inexperienced. Vektroid helped launched the genre, Nmesh helped refined the genre and 3D Blast through hard work and perseverence is providing a voice for vaporwave in these hard times of corporate pillaging and accusations of staleness. Though you'd be surprised by his beginnings.
Ladies and Gentlemen, 3D Blast.
3D Blast: Hi! Super excited to do this!
VapoUrban: How did you get into vaporwave initially?
3D: There was this podcast called Genre Cult that would do these features on very underground electronic music genres. One of the episodes was all about vaporwave. They played stuff from all the different sub-genres but I remember the one song they played that actually pulled me in was Fantasy by Saint Pepsi. I've always been in to dancey stuff and this track really stuck with me. I was also getting into sampling and it was almost perfect timing because I was like "I wanna do this like right now."
VU: What inspired you to create albums?
3D: My very first "album" was Pioneer and that was a collection of 3 EP's in which I was essentially trying out the genre. So it has classic style, future funk, a vaportrap track, late-nite lo-fi stuff and so on. I took all these random tracks and threw them into this super long album type thing. So my goal from then on was to make things a little more focussed and tighter.
VU: And how did you come up with your distinctive style?
3D: I've been kind of style hopping since I've started but mainly keeping everything beat focused. So I tend to say I'm more of "vaporwave inspired" then actual vaporwave. Like I said before, I've always been into dance sub genres or boom-bap stuff so I took the vaporwave sound and put a beat-centric take on it. That's why I tend to stay in the realm of future funk.
VU: Who would you say inspired you most?
3D: Narrowing it down would be tough but the obvious is Saint Pepsi (because of the way he combines his samples with tight drums) but with loads of influence from the way MF DOOM and J Dilla uses samples. Especially the way MF DOOM throws in samples from old cartoons he used to watch. Except I do it with dumb anime. Honestly I also take in a bunch of influence just from the people in the direct internet scene itself. People like: Fantasy Deluxe, Dante Mars Ajeto, Dan Mason
VU: I saw you were the 2nd best album on /r/vaporwave's "Best of 2016" list, you must of been so proud.
3D: Well I don't think it was in order like that. It was alphabetical but that's the benefit of having a number in your name. Either way I ended up on the best of 2016 list and it was quite a surprise! Ever since Pioneer ended up on the 2015 Essentials list, it's always been a running joke to get on every list and be over braggy about it. But honestly I'm always super happy to be included in stuff like that. Especially when some of my favorite albums are up there with me. It's rad!
VU: When did you feel like you became big, like you made it?
3D: Still waiting on that. But in terms of the scene and maybe the reddit, I guess I am? I don't really consider myself big or famous at all. But one time I posted your review of 3D: Die A Hero on facebook and someone I had went to school with years ago was like "WHAT!? YOU'RE 3D BLAST?" because apparently he had been listening to me totally on his own. That was pretty fun.
VU: How have you made use of your fame?
3D: Once again I don't think I have fame to use. But if anything I guess I used some sort of recognition to be able to approach people in the scene and talk to them. I've made some great friends in the scene.
VU: How is vaporwave different than other musical genres?
3D: Most popular music genres are always trying to achieve being cool. Vaporwave is the opposite. We wanna break the samples we use. Glitch this shit up. Take lame stuff and make it sound even lamer. I love finding value in stuff that's normally conveyed as cheesy.
VU: I see there's a lot more interaction between the artists and the fans, is that a beneficial part of the scene?
3D: It really helps the scene grow especially since a lot of fans are also artists themselves. It can lead to many people working together.
VU: Your podcast is often cited as an example as one of the best vaporwave podcasts out there. How did that come about?
3D: Well its the only vaporwave podcast currently soooo… I was a fan of The OSCAST and just podcasts in general so when OSCAST ended I knew it was my job to fill the void in all our hearts. I never wanted it to be an interview show but it kinda became an OSCAST sequel and I never wanted that. In 2017 we are rebooting to the format that was originally intended. Our biggest criticism is that we joke around too much and honestly thats how I want it. So hopefully we can remove the whole "OSCAST 2" thing and become our own thing.
VU: How has your work touched fans of vaporwave?
3D: Thats a loaded question! You would probably have to ask a fan if my music has effected them. I'd like to think that it brings joy at least…
VU: I see artists of vaporwave are often fans themselves. Tell me, how does it feel to be both a top artist and a fan of vaporwave?
3D: It is actually pretty great to come into this scene and start listening to all these people who I thought were untouchable. But now I have worked with some of my favorite artists and can call some of them my good friends. It's pretty nuts.
VU: Last question, do you see yourself settling down or are you just going to keep on going?
3D: It's only the begginning baby. We ain't stoppin' WOOOOOOO
VU: 3D Blast, it has been such a pleasure to interview you.
3D: Thank you so much for having me! It's been real my dude.

The country's tax head Tom Moyane is at the centre of fresh allegations that he pushed through unlawful VAT payments to Gupta-linked company Oakbay.
Read: Tom Moyane did not break the law - Sars Lawyer
The Daily Maverick's investigative unit claims the South African Revenue Services (Sars) Commissioner authorised tax refunds to the firm of R70-million.
The background to the current investigations is that Tom Moyane seems to have pressured Sars officials to illegally fake three VAT payments to the Guptas.— Pauli van Wyk, journalist at Daily Maverick's Scorpio unit
The first payment a R70-million rand payment and then there were two smaller payments, and this all happened in June, July and August last year it seems.— Pauli van Wyk, journalist at Daily Maverick's Scorpio unit
Speaking to Kieno Kammies, the Daily Maverick's Paulie van Wyk says the online newspaper is in possession of documents to support the allegations and, in addition, a whistle blower's first hand account.
Van wyk says Moyane pushed through payments to a third party for the benefit of Oakbay.
When you have to pay a VAT refund you cannot pay it into a third-party's bank account and obviously this did not happen.— Pauli van Wyk, journalist at Daily Maverick's Scorpio unit
In two weeks from their first request the Gupta's were paid out the 70 million, we juxtaposition that to a story where a multi national company had a VAT claim of R195-million rand and they've been waiting for nearly a year.— Pauli van Wyk, journalist at Daily Maverick's Scorpio unit
The Daily Maverick says it has documents showing Moyane authorised the transfer of the funds, despite being warned against the payments.
Sars has denied that anything unlawful took place, while Moyane claims the payments had to be made to a third party because Oakbay's bank accounts had been closed.

Handbook of Research on International Consumer Law
Edited by Geraint Howells, Iain Ramsay, Thomas Wihelmsson and David Kraft
Chapter 10: Product Safety Regulation
Luke Nottage
* Luke Nottage 1. Introduction Heightened expectations about consumer product safety are a salient feature of our 'world risk society' (Beck, 1999). Yet, although an array of policy and legal measures has been introduced particularly since the 1960s, uncertainty remains about how they can or do inter-relate to promote product safety. Deregulation since the 1980s in key parts of the global economy also prompts a reassessment. This is especially true for consumer product safety regulation involving public authorities. After outlining the scope of such regulation, this chapter looks briefly at how it compares to private law (especially product liability, discussed in Chapter 9) and market mechanisms in providing incentives to manufacturers and others to supply safe products to consumers. The ensuing part then looks in more detail at how different jurisdictions have chosen to develop consumer product safety measures, especially regulation of general consumer goods. The US took an early lead by enacting in 1972 the Consumer Product Safety Act ('CPSA'). However, the Reagan administration began scaling back state intervention from the 1980s. Emphasising (increasing marginal) costs of safety requirements, and the roles and responsibilities of consumers, the field was primarily left to market forces and product liability rules. The EU also advanced a deregulatory agenda over the 1980s, which led to the 1985 Product Liability Directive (85/374/EEC) as well as a more market-friendly regime for product-specific ('vertical') regulation. Yet, prompted mainly by earlier UK law, it also resulted in the generic ('horizontal') 1992 General Product Safety Directive, which was actually...

This up and down set has been made from natural logs that are suitable for the outdoors.
The set includes 5 logs: – 2 x 10cm height, 2 x 20cm height, 1 x 30 cm height.
Please note – by the very nature of softwood, naturally occurring resins may come to the surface of the wood as it seasons. Once seasoned, this process will cease.
*Please note that this is a natural product. It will have knots and imperfections and there may be small cracks in the wood. This is all perfectly normal and does not detract from the quality of the product.
***Please note that this product has not been stained or treated. Wood contains a natural preservative called tannin, which aids the longevity of the wood. Tannin is soluble and can leach out of wood when it gets wet. Once the water evaporates, it will leave tannin sediment behind, causing staining. We recommend that you do not store your wood on a porous surface as the surface may discolour.

It has been too long since I was back in the writers chair. I had to unexpectedly move. I honestly saw it coming but I did everything I could to change course. It didn't really matter in the end. I had to pack up a three bedroom house, basement and garage without a place to move it too. It ended up in storage for now. Yea three storage rooms to fit it all after giving away a bout a 10 X 10 Storage space of stuff. You never know how much you have until you try to move it.
I saved the laptop and my desktop from ending up in that hot dark place. I brought them with me. After a month of adjustment to my new corner of the world, today the motors kicked back on and Jack's story began to stew some more.
When I was last working on it after finishing the completed first draft, I felt something was missing. Some of the characters felt extremely under developed. They names but not real more than that, Today while wake dreaming in the heat of a third floor room everything melted together into a clearer picture. Jack is back and so is the rest of the crew.
