Join VQC's gift card fundraiser on FundScrip
Victoria's Quilts Canada (VQC) now offers another way for supporters to help us provide quilts to people living with cancer in Canada. We have established a group on FundScrip, an innovative program that lets you earn cash rebates for VQC based on things you buy everyday like groceries, gas and other household items. All you have to do is pay for some or all of your purchases using GIFT CARDS bought at face value from FundScrip participating retailers and a percentage of every gift card purchased is contributed to our group's fundraising efforts. Aside from postage to mail the cards, it's free.
According to FundScrip, an average family spends about $600 on groceries plus $200 on gas and another $200 on household items each month, for a total of $1,000. At a 3% rebate, which is the average, each family would generate $30 per month in earnings for the group it supports.
To have the biggest impact, you need to order every week or every two weeks. FundScrip has made this easy by providing an option to place a recurring order. This way, you never miss an opportunity to support VQC and you always have your cards on time. Setting a budget helps.
How does FundScrip work?
Supporters pay with gift cards instead of credit/debit/cash for everyday items and gifts. The cards are bought at face value and redeemed at face value (i.e. you buy $100 and you get $100). There is no need to change shopping habits as they are available from over 230 leading retailers. Each purchase generates earnings for VQC. All of the gift cards come from the retailers themselves, none of them have expiration dates, and some are also available as eGift cards.
How to order your gift cards and support our group
Visit the FundScrip website at www.fundscrip.com, click on the "Support Your Group" button located on the top right hand corner and fill in the required information.
Once you have completed the sign-up process, you will be sent a confirmation email. Click the link in the confirmation email to complete your registration.
Now you are ready to login, place orders and start supporting our group!
Have your gift card order mailed to you directly!
You can order your gift cards online any time and have them shipped to your home address for $0.85 (plus taxes). There is a four (4) gift card limit in each order and a $500 maximum value of the cards. Orders are processed four (4) days a week (Monday through Thursday) at 9:15 am ET once payment has been confirmed.
Payment methods available to you

Hi. As per title. Disconnected battery to work on alternator. Reconnected battery lost front assist. Just looking for any info b4 it goes in to the stealers. Theyre talking about £500 to re calibrate.
2018 skoda Octavia
Latest version of vcds does not allow any login or reset of auto dist module 13. Surely it cant be out of alignment if the radar and bumper has never been touched. Security access code 14117 does not work on these second generation Bosch MQB H10 0654 modules.
I could post a full scan and the angles of misalignment in proper area later The fault code C1103 sensor for automatic distance regulation incorrectly positioned. ACC reversible error.
Just looking for any knowledgeable people on this subject to inform me whats going on. If it is out of alignment then I will have no issues paying the dealer to fix as I realise its a safety feature that has to be precise if a computer controls brakes and throttle.

Lovely food and service
Carolyn Fitch - dined at Whitby's on 29 January 2020
Over priced menu as poor quality meals, outdated venue. Put on par with rural valentines.
Craig Dixon - dined at Whitby's on 19 December 2019
Booked in for the lamb rack but it had been changed to lamb rump. The service was great oysters were a good size. Wagyu was delicious with creamy peppercorn sauce. And the panacotta tart was a treat. My partner and I loved this place. We paid what we would have for the cost of a buffet. Great. Keen to try next time though. A 4 was given just because we missed a plate but almost got charged in the end. Will return

It was my birthday dinner, we really enjoyed very much. The food was superb , the steak ( wagyu Japanses steak) was very good and worth to try.
Staff were very friendly.
Cherry Zhong - dined at Whitby's on 26 September 2019
Dining at Whitby's is an exciting experience. You get a nice view of the city, and where we were seated near the window, we had a great view.
The oysters were excellent. We saw that if an oyster shell's content was relatively small, they added another piece to make it worthwhile - wha a great idea!
The steak [I tasted both types as my wife ordered the other option] were both excellent. The chimichurri sauce was great.
The service was generally good; I only gave 4 stars as when our water ran out, I asked the lady for a refill, but she did not come back for the refill; it was another person who gave a new bottle of water. Other than that, the service was great.
Overall it was a great dining experience.
Tom Caballes - dined at Whitby's on 19 September 2019

My partner and I had a birthday dinner here and had an amazing time. The food was absolutely delicious and served promptly. The staff were lovely, one lady in particular however we didn't catch her name, we are usually tight for money and going out for dinner is a rare occasion but we just felt the need to give her a tip so she will know who she is. I hope her boss gives her the credit she deserves, hands down the best waitress we've come across :) All in all it was a great night, will be coming back on special occasions for sure!

You already know how important it is to protect your brand by registering your trade mark, but do you know how a series of trade marks works?
When developing your brand, it's entirely possible that you'll play with different colourways, character cases, and include descriptions of the product. Under specific circumstances, you could get trade mark protection as a series.
The main benefit is that you only need one application, saving you time and application fees.
What is classed as a series of trade marks?
Before we go into that, a word of warning – the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) takes a strict approach to registering a series of trade marks. In fact, 40% of applications are declined.
To be acceptable, the series of marks should look the same, sound the same, and mean the same.
For example, it could be:
- The same word in different scripts or fonts
- Underlined, or not-underlined
- Differences in upper and lower case
- Differences in punctuation so long as it doesn't change your mark's meaning
- If colour is only a secondary feature of the mark, variations in colour may form a series
- Changes in spelling
- Colour or greyscale
The legal definition for a series of trade marks is:
"Trade marks which resemble each other as to their material particulars and differ only as to matters of a non-distinctive character not substantially affecting the identity of the trade mark."
In layman's terms, the variation can be in the non-distinctive features of each mark provided their visual, aural and conceptual identity remains largely the same.
What is the benefit of registering a series?
Before we look at the benefits, let's take a look at the alternatives.
If you don't register a series (assuming your application fits the strict UKIPO criteria), you can either file multiple applications for the different marks. Alternatively, you could register just one of the trade marks you're planning on using.
The first will significantly increase your costs. You will have to pay for each application. However, if you register a series of more than two marks, the only additional fee is £50 per mark.
The second option will seriously affect your brand's protection whereas a series application will give you broader protection for the many ways you will use your trade mark.
Is a series registration right for you?
Do you think a series registration is the best path for you?
As with all trade mark applications, getting it right is vital if you are to gain protection for your brand at minimal costs.
You'll remember earlier we mentioned that the UKIPO rejects 40% of applications. How can you make sure you're not one of those?
The best way is to seek the help of an experienced trade mark attorney. After all, it's your business that's at stake and the last thing you'll want it for it is to be left unprotected. You're also not going to be keen on forking out for multiple applications if your original one(s) goes wrong.
Before you go any further, get advice because it could save you time, money, and give your brand broader protection.
Ward Trade Marks Limited is a Bury St Edmunds-based specialist trade mark attorney firm.

While home cooked meals may be good for people, they may not provide the essential supplements and nutrients which are necessary for your pet's health. At Pets World we stock a range of nutritious and tasty food from Pedigree for your pets. It is better to give your dog pet food, which is balanced, safe, and wholesome. They also offer better palatability and digestibility. Also, it has been proven to be more cost effective in the long run.
Pedigree, a market leader in dog food since inception, is a subsidiary unit of Mars Inc. which was founded by Franc C. Mars and is there in the market since 1911. The FMCG giant owns a variety of super brands, but has excelled most in the dog food category, riding on its hugely popular brand Pedigree dog foods.
We at Pets World provide different variety of Pedigree petfoods for dogs, depending on their specific nutrient requirements. Keeping in mind the stage of growth the dog is in, and what his lifestyle is, a different kind of food is available. Owners often tend to overfeed or underfeed their pets without paying attention to their requirement when they serve them homemade food. With pedigree, it's easier to keep a track on the amount of food needed by the dog according to his growth.
Another plus point of feeding manufactured pet food to your dog is that often dogs are allergic to the ingredients of the food that human consume, but our featured brands make sure that the manufactured products never contain any ingredient to which dogs might be allergic. These pedigree kibbles are also available in different flavors like milk and vegetables, rice and meat, chicken and rice, chicken and milk, chicken and vegetable, etc., which not only offer great taste but also offer good health to your pet.
Pedigree offers dry and wet food, right from weaning puppies to daily nutrition for adult dogs. Being categorized on the basis of life stage (puppy, adult, senior), size (small, medium, large) and specific needs (like oral care, skin and coat, weight) the pedigree kibble the dog food comes in various flavors, like milk and vegetables, meat and rice, chicken and vegetable, chicken and milk, offering great taste along with optimum health. In addition to the complete dietary formulae for puppies and dogs, Pedigree also offers dental health in form of Pedigree Dentastix and training treats like Meat jerkys and Rodeo Stix.
Apart from taking care of the overall health of your dog, Pedigree aims to meet the four universal needs of the dog relating to – Skin and Coat, Oral Health, Digestion, Immunity. Pedigree's balanced diets have been the outcome of scientific research undertaken at Waltham centre for pet nutrition.
In response to directives issued by authorities regarding Corona Virus (COVID-19), There would be a complete lockdown in Delhi and NCR to support the cause we would work with minimal staff, and there would be a long delays in delivering shipments as our logistic partners has stopped services coz of government orders, which are badly affecting our services. Inconvenience caused due to this is deeply regretted.

BERKELEY, Calif. — "My soul is on fire because we are apart. My only wish is to perish in the world of love. My true love knows every sliver of sorrow in my heart." "Dear God, let me feel even more despair for my love." "The true purpose of love is sacrificing oneself."
These lines, capturing various archetypal facets of Romantic love and anguish, come from the libretto of "Layla and Majnun." The story, known from the fifth century onward in oral versions, reached its first definitive form in the Persian romance of Nezami Ganjawi (1141-1209).
This classic, which has long pervaded Arabic, Persian, Azerbaijani and Indian culture, has now become a transcultural dance-drama that had its premiere on Friday night at Zellerbach Hall here. Mark Morris, who has employed several ethnic styles over the decades, choreographs and directs, in collaboration with the Silk Road Ensemble and the painter Howard Hodgkin. The production was presented here by Cal Performances, its lead commissioner, and will now tour the United States.
Mr. Morris does not so much tell the Layla-Majnun story as refract it, ritualize it, multiply it. The emphasis is all on emotion. Sometimes one couple from the group represents the hero and heroine; sometimes we see four Laylas and four Majnuns; sometimes one couple is offset by an ensemble that also at times suggests society, the lovers' parents, the male and female hearts.
The staging — about 65 minutes including a long musical overture — is visually beautiful. An abstract backdrop painting by Mr. Hodgkin (realized as décor by Johan Henckens) shows a selection of intense colors, juxtaposing yellow, green and red, so that we feel them as warring but adjacent emotions. Identical costumes — Hodgkin's designs have been realized by Maile Okamura — for women (full-length orange) and men (blue jackets over white trousers, help to suggest a multiplicity of Laylas and Majnuns. When particular Laylas and Majnuns are featured, the Laylas wear flame-colored scarves, the Majnuns white ones.
The beauty is even greater for the ears than for the eyes. Mr. Morris's music is the "Layla and Majnun" opera composed in 1908 by Uzeyir Hajibeyli (1885-1948). This score, often known as the first opera of the Middle East, had its premiere in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. Mr. Hajibeyli's score is a central work of Azerbaijani culture; Mr. Morris uses a condensed arrangement of it by Alim Qasimov, Johnny Gandelsman and Colin Jacobsen. The words are printed in the program; the general topic appears in supertitles.
The outstanding feature of this Azerbaijani music is its vocal lines, all of which feature complex melismas: a single syllable is decorated with rapid flourishes, slow trills and firm downward slurs. The basic vocal sound (the mouth is never opened wide) is related to that used in flamenco, but softer, sweeter, more inward.
The stage is gently tiered. The musicians always occupy center stage, seated. Two young singers and two instrumentalists play the long "Bayati Shiraz" overture, which is undanced. It proves a perfect introduction to the sound world of the opera. The two wonderful vocalists, Kamila Nabiyeva and Miralam Miralamov, wearing white shirts, cast a spell as they embroider the expression of amorous obsession.
Two mature singers, 10 instrumentalists and 16 dancers (seven women, nine men) then perform the opera. The singers, Alim Qasimov and Fargana Qasimova, seated at the center of the other musicians, sing the roles of Majnun and Layla. Ms. Qasimova's voice glows gorgeously. The dancers occupy the peripheries of the stage — front, back, and sides. We never see more than 12 of them at a time: The number matches that of the musicians.
At times the dance idiom is based on that of Asian dervishes, with the arms and upper body holding a formal, side-tilting position while the dancer revolves on the spot — now slowly, now fast, though never for a long time. Elsewhere, intense through-the-body gestures tip the torso powerfully from side to side (the dancers stand with legs parted and knees bent), suggesting a maelstrom of emotion.
A few of the steps come from ballet. (One Majnun slowly retreats from his Layla while extending a leg behind him into high arabesque; that Layla replies with a matching arabesque but folds the leg inward, inverting his phrase.) There are jumping steps, fitted with folk-like inflections to the music. Although there are lifts amid the ensemble, the various Laylas and Majnuns address each other across space; the distance is crucial to the drama.
The words and music sometimes suggest depths that the dance does not match. The Layla-Majnun romance is contemporaneous with the tales of courtly but adulterous love (Lancelot and Guinevere, Tristan and Yseult, Troilus and Criseyde) that pervaded the culture of Western Europe during the age of chivalry. Like them it connects love and death, flesh and spirit; it expresses desires for both consummation and transcendence.
Having watched two performances with pleasure, I long now to renew my acquaintance with Azerbaijani music in general and Hajibeyli's opera in particular. Mr. Morris's choreography deconstructs and distills the poetic legend with charm and taste.

This this one word Google has cools the controversy going on in California, the California Online Privacy Protection Act of 2003, which requires the operator of a commercial Web site that collects personal information to link to its privacy policy from its home page.
Google earlier said that the users can get to know about the privacy via "About Google" or by searching for "Google privacy policy". After the issue buzzed about the blogosphere, four privacy groups wrote Google urging to add the link.
At last Google added the link. In official Google Blog Marissa Mayer, the Google vice president, said that Google's two founders told her the word privacy could only be added to the home page if another word was deleted, leaving the page at 28 words.

Spring/Summer 2014 DPRK Trips!
Soldiers at the Pyongyang Party Foundation Monument – photo by Joseph A Ferris III
Im excited to announce my tentative spring/summer 2014 DPRK guiding schedule:
May Day Tour: April 28th – May 8th
DPRK Fishing Tour: May 19th – May 28th
June Airport Tour – soon to be announced!
DPRK Hiking Tour: June 20th – June 30th
North/South Ultimate DMZ Tour: July 10th – July 19th
Mt. Paektu Tour: Aug 18th – Aug 30th
This is all tentative, largely based on when I get off my ship in the spring, and how long my summer vacation is. I don't think I will have the vacation time to do both the May Day trip and Mt. Peaktu – my preference will be to work a little longer into May and guide Peaktu in August. These are all trips I have been penciled in for, I will certainly be guiding much more than this, but I wont know until spring time comes.
Russian Visa In Beijing – Eurasian Adventure
As I'm stuck here in Beijing, getting reading to lead Young Pioneer Tour's Eurasian Adventure, I thought it might be useful to readers to describe the Russian visa process in Beijing.
Information online about the Russian visa process is rather dodgy, with many stories of frustrated travelers describing it as the worst visa experience of their lives. Our situation had three of us requiring visas, two people with Chinese residency paperwork, and myself only having a one year multiple entry tourist visa. We started yesterday in Beijing's "Russia Town", south of the San Li Tun district, and right next to the North Korean Embassy – we had a great lunch at a secret little DPRK restaurant used by embassy staff.
Our first idea was to search out an agent through a Russian travel agency. Starting at the Aliens Market (Russian market) we explored main avenues and side streets, discovering plenty of fur shops and freight exporters, but no travel shops. About to give up we inquired at a hotel which directed us to an unmarked travel agent who could facilitate visas.
Getting a normal Russian tourist visa in Beijing through an agent requires the following:
Chinese resident visa.
Travel insurance for citizens of Schengen member countries.
Passport photo on white background.
Filling out an application provided by the agent.
There were several options for pickup, but my friends opted for 3 working days at 1,800 RMB cost.
I don't know the name of the agent, but her email and phone number are: email@example.com and 13910885537. Her small office is located in front of the Tianya Mansion shopping center on Yanbao Road, just west of Temple of the Sun Park.
Although I only have a Chinese tourist visa the agent would have attempted to get me a Russian tourist visa, but she only gave the odds of success to be 50%, money back if denied. Given time restraints this wasn't an option for me.
If you have a Chinese resident visa, plan to skip the agent, and get your Russian visa directly through the Embassy, my understanding is you would require the following:
Chinese resident visa.
Travel insurance for citizens of Schengen member countries.
Passport photo on white background.
Application – provided at the embassy.
Invitation letter and hotel voucher – provided by an internet agent.
Photocopy of passport photo page.
Because I only hold a tourist visa, today I went to the Russian Embassy and applied for a transit visa. The process was rather strait forward, requiring the following:
Application – provided by the embassy.
One passport photo – white background.
Copy of the Trans Siberian train ticket, and copy of my exit train ticket.
Proof of visa to next county – Ukraine is visa free for Americans.
Copy of passport photo page.
We arrived at the Embassy consular entrance before 9 AM and were first in line. Service was prompt, helpful, and friendly (by Russian standards), and I was finished with the process within an hour. 5 working day pickup cost approximately 800 RMB; I paid approximately 1,500 RMB for overnight service.
The Russian transit visa allows 10 days maximum in country, allowing for time on the train and stopover in Moscow.
With all luck my Russian transit visa is processed without any problems and tomorrow I can start the Belarus visa process!
Emperor Hotel And Casino Room Rates
Room rates at the Emperor Hotel and Casino in Rason SEZ, North Korea. 780 RMB = 128 USD for the cheapest room, 1680 RMB = 276 USD for their top suite.

Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea – Book Review
Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea
I have never been a fan of graphic novels, but recently I read and enjoyed Guy Delisle's Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea.
Guy Delisle worked in Pyongyang as a project manager for a French animation company in the early 2000's. The outsourced animation projects he oversaw seemed to run themselves, and finding himself without much to do, Guy busied himself by sketching scenes of Pyongyang and documenting instances of culture shock he encountered.
Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea is witty, and fair (I believe) to what the experience must have been like as an expat there in the early 2000's. His portrayal of Pyongyang's unique buildings and architecture is spot on, and I found myself reminiscing over the many little details of Pyongyang he sketched: 50's era Hungarian buses with star embalms, each star indicating 5,000 accident free driving miles, ladies of Pyongyang wearing socks hiked up over their nylons, and fly swatting waitresses. Even the lonely (and endangered – so I'm told) turtle in the giant fish tank at the Yanggakdo Hotel bar is a recurring character.
For North Korea watchers not fortunate to have visited the country, perhaps the most useful sketches from Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea are of Guy's visit to the International Friendship Exhibition, a site where interior photography is prohibited.
It's a shame Guy never visited the Kumsusan Memorial Palace and Mausoleum; his sketches would have been quite valuable as interior photography is also prohibited there.
For fans of graphic novels, and for those waiting to properly fill out their North Korean book collection, I certainly suggest picking up Guy Delisle's Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea.
International Friendship Exhibition Crocodile Bar Set
Guard with silver plated AK-47 protects the entrance to the International Friendship Exhibition.
Holding all the gifts ever received by leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, the two massive mountain bunker palaces comprising the Myohyang-san International Friendship Exhibition are deservedly one of North Korea's top sites.
Some of the gifts are notorious: bullet-proof cars from Stalin, a Kim Il Sung life size wax statue (that you are expected to bow to) from the Chinese, a basketball signed by Michael Jordan from former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Other gifts are more mundane: medals and plaques from communist friendship societies, nicknacks from diplomats, and TVs, golf bags, and living room sets from various Asian businessmen.
Humble or grand, the gifts on display serve as physical examples of world's love and admiration for the deceased North Korean leaders – gifts to Mother Kim Jong Suk and Marshall Kim Jong Un are also housed there.
The International Friendship Exhibition holds an astonishing estimated 275,000 gifts – an exact count is digitally displayed in the first hall. Visitors are required to wear cloth booties to prevent dirt from being tracked into the sacred halls as they view the gifts. There is so much to see that groups get to choose continents – I recommend seeing the gifts from Africa and Asia.
Touring the numerous halls of the International Friendship Exhibition is tiring, fortunately there is a a resting pavilion and cafe overlooking a scenic valley for visitors to enjoy at the end of their tour.

Most North Koreans will make at least one pilgrimage during their lifetimes to view the treasures on display at the International Friendship Exhibition. Sacred Mount Paektu, Kumsusan Palace of the Sun (mausoleum of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il ),and the capital city of Pyongyang are the other great domestic North Korean pilgrimage sites.
Photography inside the International Friendship Exhibition is strictly forbidden (readers will have to use their imagination), but I was lucky enough to find a rare stamp of my favorite gift, the stuffed crocodile bar set given by the Nicaraguan Sandinista communists, which should give you an insight into the treasures the International Friendship Exhibition safeguards.
Snow Skiing in North Korea
The North Koreans are building a ski slope, and despite setbacks over ski lift procurement, the mountain is set to open next winter. Last week the general managers of Young Pioneer Tours were the first westerners invited to the East Coast city of Wŏnsan to inspect the ski slope construction. In addition to taking some of the first pictures of the ski slope, they also report that the mountain will be open to western tourists. Skiers will be giving full access to the mountain – DPRK guides will not be chasing behind them!
Young Pioneer Tours fully expects to offer several winter ski trips once the mountain opens – more details to come!

Rungra Island Funfair
Most warmer month DPRK tour itineraries include a visit Pyongyang's Kaeson Fun Fair – it has the biggest roller coasters and is centrally located next to the Arch of Triumph. But other options for those looking for their adrenalin fix exist; next to May Day Stadium on Rungra Island is the newly constructed Rungra Island Funfair and Pleasure Park. The sprawling 100 hector complex actually comprises two separate amusement parks and a dolphinarium – unfortunately we missed the dolphin show on my visit. The Kaeson Fun Fair may have the blockbuster rides, but the amusements at the Rungra Island Funfair are more surreal; check out the crazy mouse roller coaster and the Mexican sombrero ride in the pictures below:
Restricted Chongjin, North Korea
In the post 5 Reasons Not To Go To North Korea, the author claims (amongst many other things I strongly disagree with) that travel to the Northeast industrial city of Chongjin is impossible:
You know those tour buses that clutter up every major city in the world? The ones that pull up and regurgitate camera-snapping masses onto the streets of London, Paris, New York and Rome?
Give me one of those any day over a trip to Pyongyang.
You see, you only see what the government allow you to see. That is to say, you see the capital city and all the chintziest sights that the Kim dynasty deem suitable for foreign eyes, the sights that portray their tyrannic regime in the best light possible. Prosperous, modern, robust
Your cameras are checked. You can only take photographs where permitted. You can't wander down a side street while the rest of your tour group is regaled with tales of double rainbows and icebergs heralding the birth of Kim Jong Il.
You won't see Cheongjin, the industrial city on the coast that was thoroughly ransacked and ravaged during the famine, North Korea's second largest. It's not even on Google maps at present.
This isn't accurate, Chongjin has been an approved tourist city for some time, the problem has been getting there. Until recently access was only possible by charter flight via Pyongyang, but in 2013 new routes in the Northeast were opened with Chongjin easily visited via either Rason or Namyang.
The Whole Not Seeing Anything New Thing
What exactly would a visitor to North Korea see that hasn't been seen before?
Will they see the places I've listed above? Not unless the government relax their policies regarding where can and cannot be visited, and even under the rule of Kim Jong Un, who appears to be slightly less monstrous than his father, this appears unlikely at present.
Rather, a visitor to North Korea is only going to see what everyone else before them has seen. See the same statues, hear the same stories, walk across the giant streets with barely a car in sight – maybe even catch a military parade of some kind if they're lucky.
There are so many new places and things to see in the DPRK it's mind blowing. Join Young Pioneer Tours on one of their Northeast Extreme trips, a cruise out of Rason, Dandong day trips to Sinuiju, or check out the newly opened sites in the town of Pyongsong – there is no excuse for not seeing something new on a trip to North Korea if you are adventures enough to get out of Pyongyang!
Amazing interactions with local kids in the "you won't see Cheongjin" industrial city of the Northeast:

Humvees, Pawn Shops, and 5 Star Bathrooms – North Korea's Surreal Rason Casino
No visit to Rason, North Korea would be complete (at least for those interested in business or entertainment) without a stop at the Hong Kong investor owned Emperor Hotel and Casino. The second casino in North Korea (the original being a small dodgy room in the Yanggakdo International Hotel basement), the Emperor Hotel and Casino is located on a lonely stretch of coast with farmers and oxen tilling fields right up to the empty parking lots.
The lobby is spotless, the restaurant promising (but empty), and the signs politely remind Chinese gamblers not to spit. Visitors can only gamble if they exchange a minimum of 500 dollars into chips – we didn't, so we couldn't visit the gaming floor. Neither did we visit the dodgy Chinese massage parlor, but as per our guide's proud recommendation, we did use the county's only 5 star bathroom.
The casino has a fleet of Humvee vehicles reportedly confiscated from Chinese mafia gamblers who lost millions of dollars and refused to pay their debt. They left the Humvees instead, which are now used to shuttle patrons down from the Chinese border – they must have been on a run, we searched for the Humvees but the casino motor pool was empty.
And if this wasn't all surreal enough, there is even an associated pawn shop for unlucky gamblers located on the road leading to the casino!

Some shark species have evolved to walk
The relatively quick evolution of nine unusual shark species has scientists intrigued.
- Living off Australia and New Guinea are at least nine species of walking sharks.
- Using fins as legs, they prowl coral reefs at low tide.
- The sharks are small, don't be frightened.
Natural selection takes time. According to the fossil record, sharks, for example, have been essentially the same for hundreds of millions of years. But something's up lately, and by "lately" we mean the last nine million years. Sharks off of Australia have learned to walk. Not Great Whites, fortunately. Small sharks that feed on coral reefs. Cute sharks, actually.
Scientists have known for some time that five such shark species exist, but new research nearly doubles that number to nine. The new information comes from a 12-year study from an an international team of scientists from University of Queensland (UQ), Conservation International, CSIRO, the Florida Museum of Natural History, and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences and Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries published in Marine and Freshwater Research.
Don't mess with success
Over the last 400 million years, only about 1,200 shark species have emerged. "We see animals from 180 million years ago with exactly the same teeth," Gavin Naylor of the Florida Program for Shark Research at the University of Florida tells National Geographic. While it's true they're not the most prolific reproducers, and have a long life span, that's still plenty of time for useful mutations to arise. On the other hand, if it ain't broke, don't fix it — Earth and the oceans may change, but as predators, sharks do just fine as they are. Even if, as Naylor says of sixgill sharks, they "seem stuck back in time."
Walking to dinner
The walking sharks, or "epaulette sharks," live in coastal waters off northern Australia and the island of New Guinea. They prowl coral reefs when the tide goes out, walking through shallow water on their pectoral fins in the front and pelvic fins in the back, on the hunt for crabs, shrimp, small fish. They're adept at wriggling their way into tight nooks to find food, too. "At less than a meter long on average," says Christine Dudgeon of UQ, "walking sharks present no threat to people, but their ability to withstand low oxygen environments and walk on their fins gives them a remarkable edge over their prey of small crustaceans and mollusks." Says Dudgeon, "During low tides, they became the top predator on the reef."
The abilities of the small sharks — they're less than three feet in length — definitely put them in a class of their own, says Dudgeon: "These unique features are not shared with their closest relatives the bamboo sharks or more distant relatives in the carpet shark order including wobbegongs and whale sharks."
Though the five epaulette species don't look much alike, varying in markings and color, their DNA identified them as family. Says Dudgeon, "We estimated the connection between the species based on comparisons between their mitochondrial DNA which is passed down through the maternal lineage. This DNA codes for the mitochondria which are the parts of cells that transform oxygen and nutrients from food into energy for cells."
What's the hurry?
The researchers theorize that a few factors may have accelerated the epaulets' evolution. First off, they keep to themselves in their own separate region, with extensive inbreeding perhaps speeding up the rate of mutation. "Data suggests the new species evolved after the sharks moved away from their original population, became genetically isolated in new areas and developed into new species," explains Dudgeon. "They may have moved by swimming or walking on their fins, but it's also possible they 'hitched' a ride on reefs moving westward across the top of New Guinea, about two million years ago."
Another possible factor are the ever-changing reefs themselves. They're continually in flux as oceans change and as corals live and die, with rising and falling sea levels, as well as changing currents and temperatures. The epaulettes' success depends on adapting quickly to a very dynamic environment, about which Naylor says, "It's the shark equivalent of the Galápagos, where you can see shark evolution in action."
Beachgoers needn't fear for their tootsies just yet, but just wait another few million years, and who knows?

text: Last July, I had a moment that changed my life forever. I was involved in a boating accident, where I fell off the front of the boat and the boat continue to run me over, and the propeller did so much damage to my right leg that they had to amputate below the knee. I really thought that I wouldn't be able to be an athlete. I didn't know exactly what damage had been done, but I knew that it was very significant, and that i was lucky to be alive. When someone tells me that i can't do something, I go out of my way to make sure that I can. Right after my accident, I decided that volleyball was something I wasn't ready to give up, and right when I get that mindset, I was gonna do whatever I could make that happen. Hi my name is Jennifer Oakes, and I'm in my first year of Human Kinetics Program at UBCO. I think my whole life I've been an athlete and that's been a big part of my identity. Getting back into volleyball so quickly really helped me with the mental rehabilitation, because i wasn't stuck in bed all day and I was able to continue a normal life. While I was in the hospital, I got a text from the member of the sitting volleyball team, and she was telling me about sitting volleyball because they were actually competing in the Parapan-Am Games while I was in the hospital. It was really nice to kind of have somebody connected to that world, and the coach reached out to me, and by October i was playing with them. It was pretty surreal to me that a year and a month after my accident I was participating in the Paralympic Games, and that's just a dream that not many people get to experience, and I'm so thankful that I got that opportunity. I am the youngest member on our sitting volleyball team, and that's quite an honor for me. I decided to come to UBCO because I thought that it would be a great opportunity to be able to redshirt for such a highly ranked team. UBCO has a really good Human Kinetics Program, which I was very interested in, and the smaller campus is super beautiful and it makes it easier to commute, and all the classes are close together, and it's really something that I was looking for. My experience here, so far, has been so unreal all the teachers have been so helpful to me. Because of the Paralympics, I had to miss two and a half weeks of school so that really put me behind, but they're doing everything that they can to get me caught up, and all the students in my class has been helpful, and all the friends that I've made have been really generous with their time trying to get me caught up. Having the Royal Couple come visit us was so surreal. That was such an honor for them to be able to come to our school, and especially to watch us play. We were all super excited about it, and when they came and talked to me individually, I was astounded and was kind of lost for words, but they asked me about how my trip to Rio was, and how I was able to continue playing volleyball so quickly after my accident, and it was a huge deal to me that they knew anything about my life, and it was really incredible. In the next four to five years i'm hoping that I can get through school and get to my next goal of becoming a athletic therapist or physiotherapy, whatever I decide, and hopefully competing in the next Paralympics in Tokyo. So, I'll have to train very hard to qualify for the games, and for the roster again. I don't think people really treat me very differently since my accident. I think that's partially because of how I've reacted to it. I've been very open to talking about my experience, and my disability, and my accident. If anything they've just been extra kind and, like, proud of me for what I've been able to accomplish.

Worker's compensation accidents in Milwaukee and across Wisconsin happen too frequently. A company with a smelting plant in Racine is facing fines of $77,472 dollars from OSHA after a worker was exposed to chlorine gas. According to an OSHA press release, it initiated an inspection after a report saying a worker was sickened by exposure to hazardous chlorine gas while changing cylinders. OSHA cited the plant for 13 serious violations.
Worker's Compensation Lawyer In Milwaukee Discusses Citations
Beck Aluminum Allows, Ltd., which operates Beck Aluminum Racine was cited in the incident not only because the worker was exposed and sickened, but also because after officials knew of the incident, they did not remove other workers from the area and didn't evaluate the present dangers associated with the potentially lethal gas.
OSHA issued 13 serious violations, including:
- Failing to establish lockout/tagout procedures to prevent the inadvertent release of chemical energy
- An inability to estimate employee exposure during a chlorine release Failing to provide training to employees performing emergency response procedures
- Lack of annual inspections of energy control procedures
- Stacking large totes of crushed aluminum casts in an unstable manner
It was also cited for six violations involving violations of OSHA's respiratory protection standards.
The company employs approximately 115 employees nationwide. It has 15 business days to take action by complying; requesting an informal conference or contesting the findings.

Pacquiao camp says $5M suit "frivolous", will be junked
A lawyer of Top Rank is confident of knocking out the $5 million lawsuit filed by two Las Vegas residents seeking more than $5 million from Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and his group for concealing his injury before his fight against American boxer Floyd Mayweather.
"The allegations in this lawsuit are demonstrably false," said Top Rank lawyer Daniel Petrocelli in a report by ESPN. "There are documents that explicitly show the medications that Manny was using to treat his shoulder and it was fully disclosed with USADA, which we contracted for this fight."
Petrocelli said it was "immaterial" that the public was not aware of Pacquiao's "original" injury as he was declared fit to go by doctors in the pre-fight exams. Pacquiao is claiming that he re-injured his shoulder during the fight.
"This is a frivolous lawsuit and we are confident it will be dismissed," Petrocelli said.
Top Rank is Bob Arum's promotional company which handles all of Pacquiao's fight. It was named in the Pacquiao lawsuit including Pacquaio's manager Michael Koncz.
The plaintiffs argued that: "defendants prior to and at the time the plaintiffs and the class decided to purchase tickets; purchase pay per view showings or wagered on the event the defendants knew and had full knowledge and information that defendant Pacquiao had been seriously injured and was suffering from a torn rotator cuff… (defendants) know that such injury would severely affect his performance."
The plaintiffs are accusing Pacquiao's camp of screwing ticket buyers, television viewers and gamblers by failing to disclose his injury in a pre-fight questionnaire which asked
In a report by the BBC, the Nevada Athletic Commission said that Team Pacquiao camp was not obliged to disclose the injury but they should have been more honest in the questionnaire.
It was Pacquiao himself who revealed the shoulder injury shortly after losing the fight by unanimous decision. Pacquiao claimed this affected his use of his right hand in the fight.
Team Pacquiao is claiming that they informed the NAC of the injury during fight night and they even asked that pain killers sanctioned by the United States Anti-Doping Agency be administered before the fight. The NAC disallowed Pacquiao's use of a painkiller.

Feature Friday: Wireless Charging
One feature of the Pixel 3 that I really like is the return of wireless charging, something earlier Google phones had but went away.
I bought a Pixel Stand and set it up where I charge my phone when I come home.
I just place my phone on the stand and it charges. No cords involved.
You can set up all sorts of cool things like a screensaver of your recent photos and photo albums, Google Assistant so you can ask your phone questions when it is charging, and a display of your upcoming appointments.
I am still playing around with the right choices for me but I think there is a lot of interesting things one can do with this charging stand
I quite like it and just got one for my office too.

Schlagwort: '#weltprobe #dramakoeln'
spectator of the daily life
24. Juli 2016 | von Marina Diez
Have you ever placed yourself as a spectator of the daily life? Like, giving up for a moment what you are doing or have to do, and simply observe the other people?
If you do so, you will see so many obvious and natural scenes, but that in a second sigh, or in a more poetic sight, it will all seem part of a big play. Like everything was rehearsed for happening in that way at that moment.
And all of this just for you…
You sit at a public space, leave all your thoughts, your to dos and concerns behind, and just observe.

It always drove me crazy in World of Warcraft, how you'd kill a bear or something and only one piece of meat would be viable. Killing a bear means your going to be sick of bear meat before you are half done with it.
Animals with spell components or otherwise useful parts wouldn't just drop them occasionally.
Not exactly an animal but in Rifts there is big money in killing dragons if you know who to sell to.

This is for general information of all concerned that, in light of the practical difficulties associated to check or assess the present maximum financial ceiling on allowable contract range for class B and C category of contractors, the Construction Development Board, during its 46th. Board Meeting has decided to increase the financial ceiling to three times the existing ceiling as the upper limit for above categories of contractors. Therefore, class B and C contractors can now continue to bid for three number of works simultaneously, with maximum financial ceiling not exceeding Nu.45million and Nu.22.5 million, respectively.
Procuring agencies and construction firms registered under category B and C are therefore, requested to note the above, which comes into immediate effect.
