ment. We specifically count the Heads and Deputy Heads of the Cabinets of the Commissioners, the Director-Generals and Deputy Director-General of the and the Presidency of the European Council. For some groups, it is also possible to compare the change in relative numbers over time.
Top-level officials and parliamentarians represent the general European interest. Nevertheless, those in top positions are part of a tough bargaining structure among member states and are often seen as key people through whom the national political and administrative systems can have recourse. It is obvious that the number of positions is not necessarily equivalent to influence. Some top positions are more influential than others, certain portfolios may matter more for some countries than others, and even lower level position such as director can be more relevant to a specific portfolio etc. The number of top-level officials can also be the result of top people’s differing interests in becoming officials in Brussels and may reflect changing national dispositions towards careers in the EU capital. Still, the changing number of top positions probably gives a first indication of changing national influence.
In the European Union’s law making institutions today, Germany holds the greatest number of high ranked positions as compared to the other nations
In the European Union’s law making institutions today, Germany holds the greatest number of high ranked positions as compared to the other nations. In the European Commission, German nationals account for 16% of Head of Cabinet and Deputy Head of Cabinet positions and 11.6% of Directorate-General and Den contrast, France, which at the beginning of 2009 was the clear leader in Brussels-based institutions, has severely lost in terms of the number of top positions in Brussels and now holds fewer positions than Spain, a country that is significantly less populous.
The three charts below show how the number of top positions held by each nationality in the Cabinets of the Commissioners, the Directorate-Generals of the European Commission, the European Parliament Committees, and the Directorate-Generals of the Parliament, has evolved between 1999, 2009, and today. The numbers from 2009 (prior to the parliamentary elections in June) are interesting to consider since they reflect the make-up of the EU institutions just before the onset of the sovereign debt crisis.
Number of Commissioners’ Cabinet, Parliament Committee, and DG positions held by each nationality
Source: Official Directory of the European Union 2015, Bruegel Calculations.
In contrast with 1999, Germany now holds a greater number of these top-ranked commission and parliamentary positions (16 vs. 23), as does Spain (10 vs. 13) and France (11 vs. 12). The number of Italian nationals and UK nationals in these top positions, meanwhile, has dropped slightly from 16 to 14 and from 18 to 17 respectively. In 2009, however, it was France who led the pack with 19 of the top-ranked stations, a number that has now dropped significantly.
One also needs to consider that with the successive EU enlargements of 2004, 2007 and 2013, which were accompanied by an expansion of the commission, the numbers above may not accurately reflect the relative political influence of each country. We therefore include the chart below, which shows the aggregated commissioners’ cabinet positions, parliament committee chairs, and DG appointments held between 1999, 2009 and today, by each nationality as a percent of the total number of positions considered.
* Includes Heads of Cabinets, Deputies of Cabinets, Director-Generals (Commission), Deputy Director-Generals (Commission), Chairs of Parliament Committees, the Secretary General (Parliament), and Director-Generals (Parliament). Excludes European Council positions.

the UK, Italy, and Spain have all seen relative declines in their commission and parliamentary appointments since 1999
As the chart makes clear, the UK, Italy, and Spain have all seen relative declines in their commission and parliamentary appointments since 1999, which is to be expected considering the inclusion of new member states in the Union. Germany, meanwhile, has seen almost no change in percentage of appointments, while France saw a substantial increase from 1999 to 2009 and a substantial decline since then.
While the data are not comparable across time, it is also worth noting the nationalities of the chief cabinet members of the President of the European Council, as well as the nationalities of the top-ranking Members of the European Parlint of the council in 2010, he chose two fellow Belgians as his Head of Cabinet and Deputy Head of Cabinet. Meanwhile, current President of the Eus Deputy Head of Cabinet. In this post I do not analyze the ECB, which of course is led by Italian national Mario Draghi as President.
Within the parliamentary groups, there are two different statistics to consider. The first is the nationalities of those in executive positions, that is, the chairs and vice-chairs, or the presidents and vice-presidents of the seven political groups that comprise the European Parliament. The second is the coordinators, which generally determine a group’s position and voting orientation on the policies that the 20 parliamentary committees consider. These figures are summarized in the chart below.
Whereas the nationalities among executive positions are relatively balanced with the five largest EU countries each holding between 12% and 8.5% of bureau positions, in terms of coordinator positions Germany holds 20% while the UK, Italy, Spain and France hold 14%, 9%, 7% and 6.5% respectively. Furthermore, when one considers that Germany and France hold a similar percentage of total MEP seats at 13% and 10% respectively, their relative position in terms of coordinators becomes even more striking.
Overall, the main findings can be summarized as follows:
· Germany holds the most top-ranked cabinet, DG, and parliamentary chair positions with 15.4% of appointments, as well as the most coordinator (20%) and executive positions (12%) in the parliamentary groups.
· The UK held the highest percentage (17%) of top cabinet, DG and parliamentary chair positions in 1999 and now trails behind Germany with 11.4% of positions. The UK also has the second highest percentage of coordinator and executive positions in the parliamentary groups at 14%, while accounting for only 9.7% of MEPs.
· Italy, which tied Germany for the second highest percentage of top cabinet, DG and parliamentary chair positions in 1999, now holds only 9.4% of these positions. Italy accounts for the third highest percentage of coordinators and ties Germany in terms of executive positions while accounting for 9.7% of MEPs
· The number of top cabinet, DG, and parliamentary chair positions held by Spaniards has increased since 1999 but has decreased as a percent of total positions from 9.5% to 8.7%.
· France held the highest percentage (16.8%) of top cabinet, DG and parliamentary chair positions in 2009 but has now dropped below Spain to the 5th highest spot with 8% of positions. France also holds only 8.5% of executive positions and 6.4% of coordinator positions while accounting for 10% of MEPs.
France’s drop in share of powerful appointments over the past few years has been substantial, and they indeed now trail behind Spain
Do these numbers then, support often-heard complaints that Germany is becoming a hegemonic power in Europe? Or Jean Quatremer’s article in Libération a few weeks ago lamenting France’s fall from power? In terms of number and percentage of influential political positions held by each nationality (at least for the ones considered here), Germany is certainly the frontrunner. Furthermore, the data from 2009 suggests that France’s drop in share of powerful appointments over the past few years has been substantial, and they indeed now trail behind Spain. France of course, is not alone in seeing its share of these influential positions decline, which is to be expected as more member states have joined the Union, requiring a rebalancing of power. However, if numbers and shares of position are a sign of national influence, then Germany has experienced a relative poweil June 2015.

Caring for your linen’s is easier than you may think!
WASHING
Machine wash linens on the delicate cycle (104 F/ 40 C) with a small quantity of similar fabric and colors. Do not overcrowd and use a mild liquid detergent, such as a wool wash. To maintain the color, we advise avoiding bleach and continual exposure to sunlight.
DRYING
Tumble dry on low heat only. Our linen has been pre-washed at very high temperatures to ensure that with proper care no further shrinkage occurs.
IRONING
You may iron linen, but it is not necessary. Wrinkles are part of what makes linen so unique and beautiful. Each crease adds character and creates a cozy, relaxed feeling – embrace it!
Easy care – easy life!

These looked easy enough to make, and something my family would love. They were great, quick to do, and enjoyed by the whole family. I used the precooked Turkey sausage patties, so made it even faster. Thanks for sharing your recipe. It will be my go to recipe when we need a quick breakfast!

I’ve been making a version of these for so long, I didn’t even think of it as a recipe because they are so easy to throw together. I stole the concept from McDonald’s, regretfully, not the other way around. For a package of 8 large refrigerator biscuits, I use a fork to mix 5 to 6 eggs with salt and pepper. I don’t use milk since it weakens the final product. I cook it in a small non-stick skillet (8” to 10” depending on how steeply the sides slope) until firm. I cut the pancake-shaped egg mixture like a pizza into 8 wedges (it’s the easiest way to do it and this is all about easy and fast). Depending on what’s on hand, I put either sausage patty, shaved ham (my fave) or a slice of bacon on each wedge of egg. You’ll probably have to tuck the narrow point of the wedge under to keep it within the confines of the biscuit. Almost any sort of cheese will work on top of the meat, I like swiss, provolone, or freshly grated parmesan. I like to put a liberal amount of plain yellow mustard on the egg and a little bit more atop the cheese. Everything, save assembly, can be done in the time it takes the biscuits to bake. If you wrap the extras tightly in foil and seal in a ZipLoc they’ll lasts for weeks in the freezer, although they seldom last that long at our house. A frozen-solid breakfast biscuit direct from the freezer and wrapped in a paper towel takes 90 seconds at 80% power in my microwave for a tasty meal-in-the-hand.

Moderna Inc's coronavirus vaccine on Friday became the second to receive emergency use authorisation (EUA) from the US Food and Drug Administration, welcome news to a nation with a staggering Covid-19 death toll of over 307,000 lives lost.
The FDA announced the authorisation the day after the agency's panel of outside experts endorsed its use and a week after the FDA authorised a vaccine from Pfizer Inc and German partner BioNTech SE.
The vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech, based on similar technology, has been put into the arms of thousands of US healthcare workers this week in a massive nationwide rollout. Moderna injections are expected to begin in coming days for adults 18 years old and up.
"With the availability of two vaccines now for the prevention of Covid-19, the FDA has taken another crucial step in the fight against this global pandemic that is causing vast numbers of hospitalisations and deaths in the United States each day," FDA Commissioner Stephen M Hahn, MD, said in a statement.
Explainer: How the Moderna vaccine stacks up against Pfizer/BioNTech's
.
"It is my hope that all Americans will protect themselves by getting vaccinated when the vaccine becomes availableFauci said in a statement.
Older people in long-term health facilities are expected to get vaccines next, with a US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expert panel on Sunday set to recommend what groups follow, as industries compete to have their workers given precedence.
Moderna said it intended to apply for full US license in 2021.
The FDA decision marks the first regulatory authorisation in the world for Moderna's vaccine and validation of its messenger RNA technology, shown to be nearly 95% effective with no serious safety concerns. It came less than a year after the first Covid-19 case was identified in the United States.
The vaccine, developed in partnership with the National Institutes of Health, had relatively minor side effects including pain around the injection site and swelling.
The biotech company has worked with the US government to prepare for the distribution of 5.9 million shots as early as this weekend.
Moderna's shot is expected to be used in harder-to-reach locations, such as rural hospitals. The vaccine needs to be stored and shipped frozen, but does not require the ultra-cold temperatures of the Pfizer/BioNTech shot.
Once thawed, the Moderna vaccine can be kept at typical refrigerator temperatures. It is administered in two shots 28 days apart.
Between the two vaccines, the United States is expecting 40 million doses before year end, enough to eventually vaccinate 20 million people, as both require two shots.
US President Donald Trump on Twitter hailed the authorisation. "Congratulations, the Moderna vaccine is now available!" he wrote. The vaccine must be transported to hospitals and other centers before injections begin.
Moderna said it would deliver approximately 20 million doses to the US government this year and expected to have between 100 million and 125 million globally in the first quarter of next year, with 85-100 million of those for the United States.
Moderna has deals with the US government to provide a total of 200 million doses by the end of June 2021. Other vaccines still are in testing, including a one-shot injection from Johnson & Johnson, and a two-shot course from AstraZeneca and Oxford University.
US hospitalisations and deaths have surged, driven by last month's Thanksgiving holiday gatherings. Authorities have renewed restrictions and shutdowns across the country.
Public health officials have warned infections from Christmas and New Year's celebrations could exacerbate a crisis that already threatens to overwhelm healthcare systems nationwide.
Even with two highly effective vaccines, practices such as social distancing and face covering will be needed for months before enough people are inoculated to curb virus transmission and eventually end the pandemic.

What You'll Need
Insert your do-it-yourself landscaping wish list here:
Decks are great for a lot of things: grilling, entertaining, and even catching a few rays. But they do make something, in particular, a bit tricky—landscaping. Because decks may be raised and oddly shaped, it can be tough to figure out exactly how to plant beautiful and lush flowers and shrubs around the structure. Luckily, you can find a range of tips and tricks below to make this process easy.
Decide on Your Aesthetic
Before you get started planting around your deck, decide what look you’re going for. Do you want something lush and green or something more colorful? Would you rather have sparse plants or a landscape more crowded and full? Do you want something contained or more overgrown and wild? This is the fun part of the landscaping, and it’s completely up to you!
The Logistics
As you’re considering how to landscape around your deck, consider some logistics. First, take into consideration the positioning of your deck. Will this area receive an abundance of sunlight or none at all? Also, remember to be strategic in the plants you choose and where to put them. Place plants next to each other that thrive off of the same soil and watering schedules to add to the convenience of maintenance on this landscape.
Finally, consider how much debris this area accumulates over time. Do many leaves typically fall around this space? Consider the areas that are prone to debris and bugs to work around those issues and ensure your plants’ success.
What to Plant Around Your Deck
What you should plant around your deck really depends on your deck’s height and shape. For instance, if your deck is elevated, you may want to consider planting some taller bushes, shrubs, and even small trees around the space. This will ensure that the area is filled out well, particularly in the back row, closest to the deck. In front of that layer of plants, supplement with smaller and shorter plants such as flowers and shrubs for a full look. Consider plants like a Japanese red maple tree or dogwood trees, which are aesthetically pleasing, grow to be tall, and take up quite a bit of space.
If your deck is at the ground level or close to it, stick to smaller plants along the perimeter such as shrubs os flowers like daffodils, tulips, and hosta. If your deck is larger, go for plants that take up more space, like a hydrangea bush.
Accommodating for Growth Space
As you plant around your deck, take into consideration the growth space that the landscaped area will allow for. This will help you to not only choose what to ultimately plant but also how to design the landscape and space things out. Since you’re likely to be planting in a line or more constricted space to add to the aesthetic around your deck, try not to choose plants that are known for becoming overgrown. For instance, forsythia plants are pretty, but can easily take over space and will require much trimming and attention to keep the area neat.
Also, consider growth when planting items within the space. If you’re planting a hydrangea bush, remember that this may grow larger and larger each season. Grant it space it will need to flourish again and again.
Finally, don’t plant flowers, shrubs, or trees too close against your deck. You want to leave a fair amount of room for growth to ensure that your lush plants don’t encroach upon your leisure space.
Enclose the Space
A nice touch to a landscaped deck is to border the planted space with some kind of edging. Rocks make for an easy and natural look, as they can vary in size and shape to give a more rustic feel. Brick pavers are more uniform and are a bit more labor-intensive to install. Either way, this lends a specific definition or personal accent to your landscaping job.
Enjoy your outdoor space even more by installing beautiful landscaping around your deck. Doing so makes your personal oasis that much more serene.

AFP | 36 days ago
LONDON - Roger Federer said Sunday he hopes to play Wimbledon "one more time" despite being sidelined for a year with a knee injury. "I hope I can come back one more time. I've missed it here," said the eight-time champion as he attended a special ceremony to mark the 100th anniversary of Centre Court.
He plans to return to action at the Laver Cup in London in September and then take part in his home tournament at Basel.
"I knew walking out here last year, it was goingthe knee has been rough on me."
Federer, dressed in a dark suit, was one of a host of Wimbledon champions at the ceremony that preceded the programme of matches on middle Sunday, established from this year as a permanent feature.
The Swiss star broke through at Wimbledon in 2001 with his famous win over Pete Sampras before lifting the first of his eight titles two years later.
"I've been lucky enough to play a lot of matches on this court," he added. "It feels awkward to be here today in a different type of role but great to be here with all the other champions.
"This court has given me my biggest wins and my biggest losses."
Federer was joined at the ceremony by two men responsible for some of those highs and lows -- six-time champion Novak Djokovic and two-time winner Rafael Nadal. Djokovic defeated Federer in the 2019 final, the longest ever at the tournament, which stretched over five sets and almost five hours.
"I feel more nervous now than when I'm playing," said Djokovic, who will be back on Centre Court later Sunday for his last-16 tie against Tim van Rijthoven. "This court has been truly special from my childhood and the first image of tennis I've seen, when I was four or five years old I saw Pete Sampras wining his first Wimbledon.
"This is where dreams come true and I was blessed in 2011, probably the highlight of my career, to win the tournament and so when I step out on this court I relive these memories. Truly an honour."
Other past champions included Billie Jean King, Margaret Court, Petra Kvitova, Martina Hingis, Chris Evert and Venus Williams.
Men's winners included John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Chris Evert, Andy Murray and Goran Ivanisevic. However, nine-time champion Martina Navratilova was unable to join the parade due to testing positive for Covid-19.

One eastern European treasure remains largely undiscovered, writes Ute Junker.
Travel is all about timing. If you have ever been tempted by the fabled wonders of Syria, for instance – the souks of Aleppo, the ancient ruins at Palmyra, the mighty walls of Krak des Chevaliers – then clearly you have missed your moment.
As some destinations become no-go zones, however, others move centre-stage. Take eastern Europe. Once hidden behind the Iron Curtain, dazzling destinations such as the stone streets of Dubrovnik, the canals of St Petersburg and the imperial elegance of Prague and Budapest have cemented their place in the tourist brochures.

One eastern European treasure, however, remains largely undiscovered. For some reason, Poland has remained off the radar of all but the most intrepid travellers. Unlike its neighbours, which have shed their grim Soviet-era reputations, Poland seems unable to shake the ghosts of its tragic past.

There is no denying its dark history. The country that was once the largest in Europe has been invaded time and again, by Germans, Russians, Tatars, Ukrainians, Cossacks, Ottomans and Swedes. In the 18th century, it disappeared altogether, partitioned between Austria, Russia and Prussia.
During World War II, Poland was invaded by both the Nazis and the Soviets, with the former establishing their network of death camps on Polish soil. The end of the war brought no relief. The Iron Curtain descended on Poland, not to lift again until the tumultuous days of 1990, when the fragmenting Communist Party of Poland took the unprecedented step of dissolving itself.

Throughout their turbulent history, the Poles have demonstrated remarkable resilience. Today, they are turning to the task of reinventing themselves as a tourist destination. With a profusion of medieval towns, mighty castles and an unspoiled countryside, there is enough to keep even the most energetic visitor busy. So take a look through our selection of highlights, and discover why Poland is Europe's next big thing.
KRAKOW: OLD-SCHOOL ELEGANCE
With spires and turrets soaring into the sky, cobbled streets and ornate facades, Krakow delivers old-school elegance at every turn. It's the European city that Walt Disney might have designed, right down to the castle atop the hill. Although there is no sleeping princess in residence, in the cathedral next door the kings of Poland are enjoying their eternal slumber entombed in red marble.
There is nothing sleepy about the city itself. Don't let the picturebook prettiness of the Rynek Głowny, or main square, fool you. Take a seat in one of the al fresco cafes and watch the tide of locals eddying around its spectacular buildings – the ornate St Mary's Church with its stunning carved wooden altarpiece, or the gorgeous Renaissance Cloth Hall – and you'll realise this is a vibrant, living city, not an outdoor museum.
Or, perhaps, it is a bit of both. Take the former Jewish district of Kazimierz, which has scored a World Heritage listing for its intact streetscape. Those streets featured heavily in the film Schindler's List; however, once the cameras disappeared, the historic buildings returned to their everyday function, housing many of Krakow's best-loved bars and restaurants.

MALBORK: HOME OF THE TEUTONIC KNIGHTS
They don't get as much press as their fellow warrior monks, the Knights Templar, but the German Teutonic Knights were one of the medieval world's most formidable fighting forces. At Malbork, south of Gdansk, they built a mighty headquarters – the largest Gothic brick castle in Europe – that still awes today. Malbork was designed to be impregnable, and for centuries repulsed every enemy attack; between the inner moat and the central courtyard alone stood seven massive gates.
The knights were not just ruthless warriors but also canny investors. Thanks to their monopoly on the amber trade, they grew so wealthy that they were able to lend money to kings. They clearly reinvested some of the profits in their headquarters, which boasts not just beautiful interiors, but also modern conveniences such as underfloor heating and a lift that sped food from the kitchen to the tables.
The knights apparently enjoyed entertaining – the castle has 400 guest rooms – but they took nothing on trust. Look carefully at the portrait in the banqueting hall, and you will see it has empty eye sockets, allowing the knights to observe their guests without being seen.

ZAKOPANE: DOWN TO THE WOODS
In fairytales, the woods are always dark and threatening. In Poland's Tatra Mountains, however, the leafy forests are wonderfully inviting. Skiers flock here in winter to test themselves on the slopes; we prefer to visit in summer, when the quiet paths meandering through the trees tempt you to lace up your hiking boots. Allegedly there are still bears and lynx lurking in the quieter reaches of the woods, but we are assured it is rare for visitors to encounter them.
The lovely town of Zakopane, ringed by high peaks, has been popular with holidaymakers for centuries. Its idyllic natural setting and traditional lifestyles inspired Polish artists, writers and composers. Even today, the area gives you a glimpse of an earlier Poland, particularly the wooden houses that dot the area, carved with pretty floral motifs and made without metal nails. Music lovers should try to catch a performance of the area's distinctive Goral music, a tradition that is still alive and well.
GDANSK: FROM REVOLUTION TO RESTORATION
The Kardashians aren't the only ones who know a thing or two about makeovers. Back in the 1980s, when Lech Walesa's Solidarity movement made global headlines, Gdansk seemed a pretty grim place. These days it is one of Europe's most gorgeous cities, its rebuilt and restored buildings bearing witness to its days as one of the continent's busiest ports.

Medieval Gdansk was a trading city, and the merchants who ran it knew that first impressions count. That is why they constructed what is still one of the grandest streets in Europe: Długi Targ, or Long Market. From the Golden Gate at the top of the street to the Green Gate which opens onto the river, every building is extraordinary. Painted green and purple, crimson and ochre, decorated with frescoes and flanked by lions, the gabled structures present one gorgeous facade after another.
Gdansk's most famous landmarks include the magnificent Neptune fountain, the stunning guildhall known as the Artus Court, and a clutch of mighty medieval red brick churches. St Mary's Basilica alone is home to treasures including a 15th century astronomical clock, Hans Memling's painting of The Last Judgment, and a flock of Euterpean angels.
AUSCHWITZ: A SITE OF HORROR
Some places need no introduction, and the site of one of the greatest mass murders in history is one of them. Auschwitz, the Nazi extermination camp where hundreds of thousands of Jews – and others including Polish resistors, Roma and Soviet prisoners of war – met their deaths is a place of such horror, some travellers might be tempted to give it a miss.

However, many thousands do choose to visit Auschwitz every year, to learn, to remember and to realise where hatred can take you. The guided tour spares no details of the horrifying stories, from the gassings to the medical experimentation. However, what is most moving – at least, for me and some of my companions – is the belongings of the dead, on display in heartbreaking masses.
Looking at the more than 100,000 pairs of worn shoes, or the thousands of suitcases – large and small, battered or nearly new – brings home the fact that behind the statistic were millions of ordinary people, each with their own story, which came to an abrupt end here.
THE MASURIAN LAKES: FROM HAVEN TO HITLER
Whether you are a serious sailor or just enjoy a spot of kayaking, the forest-fringed Masurian Lakes are a delightful summer playground. At its heart lies the massive Lake Sniardwy; a series of canals and rivers links it with other canals and waterways. The areas not covered by lakes or forests are home to rolling farmland and pretty little towns.

During July and August, holidaymakers throng here; the rest of the time, it is much more laidback. The most popular towns include Węgorzewo and Gizycko, the latter being known for its remarkable rotary bridge, dating back to 1889, which is opened by hand six times a day to allow boats through.
If you are keen to go further afield, the town of Ketrzyn makes a good base. Like many of the local towns, Ketrzyn was founded by the Teutonic Knights; its sheltering castle still stands. From here you can explore the medieval town of Reszel, as well as the area's darkest relic: the partly destroyed concrete bunkers that are all that remain of Hitler's World War II headquarters, the Wolfsschanze.
WIELICZKA SALT MINE: THE WONDER UNDERGROUND
When is a salt mine not a salt mine? When it is both one of the country's oldest enterprises, and one of its biggest tourist attractions. The Wieliczka Salt Mine is officially 900 years old, but the site was already being mined in ancient times. During the Renaissance, it was one of the largest businesses in Europe; by the 18th century, it was already becoming a tourist attraction.

Mining ceased in the 1990s, but these days the mine is busier than ever before. Over a million visitors every year descend 135 metres into the earth and are led through kilometres of labyrinthine tunnels.
Most are startled by what they find: underground lakes, and reliefs, monuments and even salt-crystal chandeliers, all patiently carved out by the miners. For those with a more industrial bent, a Miners' Route is also available, which offers insights into the tasks, traditions and workings of a functioning mine.
WROCLAW: SLEEPING BEAUTY
Don't fall for Wrocław's claim to be "the Venice of Poland". Yes, the city's riverside areas are lovely for strolling, the shores lined with ornate manors and verdant parklands, while more than 100 bridges span the calm water. Venice, however, it ain't.

Still, you can't blame the locals for trying to get some attention. Provincial cities such as Wrocław and Torun get little attention from tourists, which is a shame when they are this beautiful.
At Wrocław's heart lies a beautiful – and vast – market square; a stroll through the surrounding streets takes you past everything from Gothic churches and Renaissance tenements to ancient fortifications and Belle Epoque department stores. In fact, Wrocław is so packed with gems that the "introductory walk" suggested by one reputable travel guide takes around five hours.
The city's diverse influence reflects the many cultures that once made their home here: Czechs and Hungarians, Italians, Germans and Jews. Today, a large student population keeps things lively, as does one of the best contemporary art scenes in the country, where the galleries – housed in everything from former monasteries to repurposed air raid shelters – are almost as intriguing as the works on display.

WARSAW: THE SURVIVOR
If Poland's biggest city feels a little rough around the edges, it has reason to. Since it became Poland's capital four centuries ago, it has been invaded by pretty much any country with an army, including the Swedes. In the last days of World War II, the brave locals launched the Warsaw Uprising, the biggest resistance action ever undertaken against the Nazis, and saw their city destroyed in retaliation.
In just two months, the Nazis razed the city, killing 200,000 locals in the process. The retreat of the Nazis brought no relief – Soviet troops were quick to move in and occupy the devastated city.
However, Warsaw is a survivor, and even amid the unlovely Soviet-style architecture, echoes of earlier times remain. Today, locals stroll along the lovely Nowy Swiat boulevard or enjoy Chopin concerts in Lazienki Park, just as their forebears did, or head for the al fresco bars lining the banks of the Vistula river. Warsaw even has its own burgeoning hipster scene in Praga, where former warehouses and factories are being converted into galleries, bars and other hip hangouts.

OFF-BEAT POLAND
SKULLS AND BONES In a macabre mood? Then head to the church of Kaplica Czaszek in the small town of Czermna, where the interiors are decorated with the skulls and bones of over 3000 people. The 18th century priest in charge of the decoration also stored a further 21,000 skeletons in the church crypt.
LOCAL HERO It doesn't take long to realise that Poland's greatest local hero is John Paul II. There are plenty of monuments to the pope – including a series of stained glass windows in a church at Zakopane – but none are as striking as the 14-metre-high statue in the town of Czestochowa.
FLOWER POWER They don't go for minimalism in Zalipie. This village is known throughout Poland for the local habit of painting intricate floral patterns on every surface. Once upon a time, they had to make their own paints out of cooking fat and dye; these days, they use the real stuff.

DRAGON'S DEN Ever set foot in a dragon's den? At Krakow Castle, you can. According to legend, a series of caverns beneath the castle once housed a fearsome dragon that terrorised the town; in medieval days, the caves were variously used as a tavern and a brothel.
BODY WORK With its elegant Renaissance buildings, Zamosc feels like a slice of Italy transported to Poland, which is exactly the effect the town's founder, Jan Zamoyski, was after. It's not just the architecture that makes this town unique, but also its layout: it mimics the shape of a human body, with the palace as its head and Grodzka Street as its spine.
FIVE MORE FORMER COMMUNIST DESTINATIONS
ROMANIA Romania's capital, Bucharest, is a love-it-or-hate it place, but the Carpathian Mountains are irresistible. Hiking through forests and meadows, visit grand medieval fortifications such as Corvin Castle, or just chill out in pretty towns such as Brasov.

LATVIA There is only one real city in Latvia, but it's a beauty. The buildings lining Riga's cobblestone streets range from Gothic marvels to ornate art nouveau confections. Further afield, the Kurzeme region, which has both white sand beaches and medieval towns, is a popular destination.
SLOVENIA Slovenia packs plenty of Instagrammable attractions into its modest area. From the Venetian-influenced towns of the Adriatic coast to the sparkling lakes and jutting peaks of the Julian Alps, there is much to discover. Leave a couple of days to explore its pretty-as-a-picture capital, Ljubljana.
BULGARIA Bulgaria's attractions include Thracian tombs, Roman amphitheatres and monasteries glittering with mosaics. Highlights of any itinerary include the medieval capital of Veliko Tornovo, the modern capital of Sofia, and the charming university town of Plovdic.
RUSSIA Beyond majestic Moscow and romantic St Petersburg, Russia's more remote regions have plenty to tempt visitors, from the geysers and volcanoes of Kamchatka to the beauty of Siberia's forests and the mighty Lake Baikal.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G Specs
Written by B Johnson March 06, 2014
Just a moment ago, i’ve already showed you one huge-sized tablet from Samsung under the Tab Pro family - Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, the LTE model.
Not only does this tablet have great gaming performance, but Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 LTE is also a great tablet for those looking for a decent media-consumption tablet.
(Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G Specs)
It has fast-performing processor, powerful mobile GPU, a huge space of RAM, a big battery capacity, a sharpest looking display and other elements that make it a great all around media-consumption and gaming tablet.
Just like the other models under the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro series – the 12.2 models – this Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 also consists in 2 different models, the LTE and the 3G model.
Despite using some similar type of specs, these 12.2-inch models interestingly have 2 different processors, with the LTE getting the real “beast” Snapdragon 800 processor, while the one i’m about to show you today - Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G -, is packing the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor – which is slightly less powerful than the LTE model with Snapdragon 800.
Not to mention, these two 12.2-inch models are also powered by 2 different mobile GPUs, the Adreno 330 GPU inside the LTE model, while the Mali T628 GPU is found inside the 3G model of Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2.
So for playing games, these 2 tablets will likely produce different gaming performances.
Even so, i still believe that either the LTE or 3G models of Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G will both be great gaming tablets.
But they’re probably not such ideal gaming tablets given their huge screen size – which according to TheVerge, can make you feel dizzy if you use this tablet mainly for gaming.
Anyway, if you’re interested to know more about this huge 12.2-inch tablet, especially its gaming performance – compared to the LTE model, then here you go, my personal review of Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G.
But as usual, if you feel this review is helpful and informative to you, don’t forget to share this post to your friends or family by using the social media icons (Twitter, Facebook, Google +, etc) around this page.
Your contribution would mean a lot to this website and this community as well.
Okay then, without further ado, here you go, my personal review of Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G.
Introduction
Just like i already mentioned earlier in the previous review of Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 – the LTE model -, this tablet is probably not gonna be an ideal device for playing games.
Not only is this tablet really huge in size, but it’s also pretty bulky in hands.
So there is a huge chance that your hands would feel exhausted if you hold this tablet in long long hours of gaming.
So i personally think that this tablet would be great only as a media-consumption device, not a gaming tablet – given its size.
But even so, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G still has great gaming performance – no argue to that.
Thanks to the “octa-core” Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor, 3GB of RAM and Mali T628 MP6 GPU under its hood, this tablet is more than capable to handle most of the graphically demanding games across the Google Play Store – all in smooth performance and in full graphics.
However, for playing games, i don’t think the 3G model of Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 will have the gaming performance as great as the LTE model of this tablet.
And that’s clearly because this tablet is “only” packing Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor – which many would agree, is slightly less powerful than the Snapdragon 800 processor.
In fact, i’ve already seen the actual performance between the 3G and LTE models of Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 (2014 edition without PRO) – which also pack those 2 similar Snapdragon 800 and Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processors -, with the LTE model having a much faster performance and smooth experience than the 3G model.
But we’ll get more on this later.
So the question is, despite using some similar specs with the LTE model, does Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G have the same great gaming performance as the LTE model?
Well, we’re about to find out more about that later.
So check out this review if you want to know more about that.
Design
In terms of design, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G shares the same design language just like its other siblings – 8.4 and 10.1 models.
In fact, this 12.2-inch model actually takes all the design cues from the original Samsung Galaxy Note 3 released last year – with those same fake stitching and faux leather rear-cover and metallic looking trim all over the bezels.
So if you’re already familiar with the design of that phablet, then this tablet has nothing to write home about when it comes to design.
It still inherits the same "fake" elements of Note 3 – the fake stitching, the faux leather rear-cover and the fake metallic looking trim.

Similar just like the 8.4 and 10.1 models, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G also shares the same type of hardware specs.
From the 12.2-inch display sporting the same exact 2560x1600 pixel display (although it has lower -247 ppi pixel density compared to the higher -299 ppi on the 10.1-inch model or the highest -359 ppi on the smallest 8.4-inch model), the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor (as opposed to the Snapdragon 800 on the LTE model), the Mali T628 MP6 GPU, 3GB of RAM, 8MP and 2MP cameras on back and front, a huge 9500mAh power battery and some other high-grade specs inside.
From the software standpoint, this tablet also shares the same exact Magazine UI just like its “Pro” siblings – under the Android 4.4 KitKat OS.
Compared to the TouchWiz UI on the previous-generation Samsung GALAXY devices, this new Magazine UI brings a lot of improvements to this Android software.
But the most prominent one is its entire UI design, features and layout that look totally different than the standard widget-dedicated homescreen on the Android default UI.
So if you’re not such a big fan of Android standard homescreen UI (with widgets, etc), then you’ll probably find the UI on this tablet interesting because it now looks more professional, much tidier and has more interesting features than the TouchWiz UI.
The great thing of having the 10.1-inch or 12.2-inch model of Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro – compared to the smaller 8.4-inch model – is that, the multi-window mode on these biggest models provides 4 windows of apps that can be deployed at the same time on the screen (it also allows only 2 or 3 apps with adjusted window size).
On the other hand, the smaller 8.4-inch model only allows 2 windows of apps at the same time – given its smaller screen size.
Besides this feature, there are probably other advantages found on the biggest models compared to the smaller 8.4-inch model.
Screen
Similar just like its siblings (Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro series), this 12.2-inch tablet is also sporting the same exact 2560x1600 pixels resolution, but in a much larger 12.2-inch display.
However, given its huge size, this tablet interestingly has lower pixel density compared to the smaller models (10.1-inch and 8.4-inch models).
But probably there won’t be any huge difference on the sharpness of these 3 models.
They all still look gorgeous and insanely sharp for today’s standards.
So if you love enjoying media contents on a tablet, then you will feel comfortable when using this tablet.
Everything that you throw on this tablet – from full HD movies, books/magazines, web pages, photos or even HD games -, all will look amazingly sharp and crisp, even in normal view without zooming in/out or pinch-to-zoom gesture.
Gaming Performance
Back to Top
Unlike the LTE model of this tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G is packing the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor, which is slightly less powerful than the Snapdragon 800 processor inside the LTE model.
However, you probably won’t notice any difference in performance on both of these tablets.
They still deliver a fast and smooth experience to you, either for reading books/magazines, browsing the web, checking out photos, using live wallpaper or even for watching full HD movies.
Meanwhile, as a gaming tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G is also great device for that matter.
Thanks to the Samsung octa-core Exynos 5 Octa processor, 3GB of RAM and Mali T628 MP6 GPU, this tablet is more than capable to play even the most graphically demanding games across the Google Play Store.
From games like Asphalt 8: Airborne, Modern Combat 4 (and even 5), N.O.V.A 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted, GTA Vice City, ShadowGun DeadZone, Dead Trigger 2 or even GTA San Andreas – all will run perfectly and smoothly, and the most importantly in full high graphics.
However, as for the GTA San Andreas, the performance of this tablet probably will not be as great as on the LTE model of this tablet (with Snapdragon 800 and Adreno 330 GPU) given that Samsung Exynos 5 Octa is “slightly” less powerful than Snapdragon 800 processor.
So there are some lags or stutters seen along the gameplay especially if you set this game in full highest graphics.
So it’s strongly recommended to set its graphics setting to medium if you want to play this game smoothly.
Even so, with those monster specs, without a doubt, Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G is great for playing games.
However, this tablet may not be such an ideal device for gaming – given its huge screen size that could make your hands feel exhausted when holding this tablet in long long hours.
So i strongly suggest you to pick up the smaller 10.1-inch or 8.4-inch models if you’re gonna use this tablet mainly for gaming.
Battery Life
Similar just like the LTE model of this tablet (as well as the 12.2-inch GALAXY Note Pro tablet), Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G is also powered by the same huge 9500mAh power battery – which is really huge for a 12-inch tablet.
So if you’re gonna use this tablet mainly as a media-consumption device, you can expect to see this tablet last around 8 to 10 hours, which is really good for today’s standards.
However, its battery life will last much longer – even in 2 days – if you’re only using it only in your spare time, with combined screen on/off time.
My Personal Opinions
So in conclusion, i personally think that Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G is still a great quality tablet – no argue to that.
It has a sharp looking display,
it has some monster specs under its hood,
it has rich features,
it has elegant looking design,
it has great camera,
it has fast and smooth performance,
it has great long lasting battery life
and pretty much everything on this tablet is just impressive.
This tablet may be suitable only for those of you who are looking for a decent productivity-related tablet – like for writing or blogging -, given its huge size that provides full on-screen QWERTY keyboard that is comfortable to use and press.
However, thanks to its monster specs, this tablet is also a great gaming and media-consumption tablet – although its huge size is not ideal for a gaming tablet.
If you’re looking for a decent tablet with huge 12.2-inch display, no doubt Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 3G is a great choice for that matter.
However, if you’re gonna use this tablet mainly for gaming, i strongly suggest you to pick up the smaller 10.1-inch or even the 8.4-inch models because their size is just ideal and comfortable for playing games.
Besides, all of these Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro tablets have the same exact quality specs.
From the same exact 2560x1600 pixel display, a fast Snapdragon 800/Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor, Adreno 330 GPU/Mali T628 MP6 GPU, 8MP and 2MP cameras back and front, huge battery capacity, the same Magazine UI and many other goodies.
So you’ll make no mistake when getting any of these models.
They are all just great quality tablets.

Happiness Is Being A Nurse Injector T Shirt
Posted on January 7, 2022 January 8, 2022 by mack oliver
efore you entertain marriage with a Happiness Is Being A Nurse Injector T Shirt girlfriend, it is important that you set some hard boundaries about what behavior will and won’t be accepted. Sit down with your girlfriend and let her know what behavior is controlling and troubling for you, and what you are willing to accept. If your girlfriend loves you and wants the relationship to move to the next level, she will be willing to make changes. Of course, these conversations are never easy to have. It can be difficult to articulate into words how you think and feel in a way that your girlfriend can understand. In these situations, it is a good idea for you and your girlfriend to go through relationship counseling. Especially if you are planning on eventual marriage, you want to talk to a licensed therapist to address these issues beforehand.
If you were to ask a Happiness Is Being A Nurse Injector T Shirt psychologist, or read an article in Psychology Today, controlling woman who are making you feel like you are in a physical abuse or emotional abuse relationship have typically been abused themselves. Abusive or controlling partners create a toxic relationship that they did not initially intend to create. In Psychology Today, there are diagnoses for those who have been in a past abusive or controlling relationship. Controlling people, a controlling woman, and controlling partners typically want something that they were deprived of in the past. By controlling partners, they are able to get what they did not have in the past. This is seen often in domestic partnership abuse, physical abuse by a family member, or other relationships where the woman felt a complete lack of control herself. After escaping these controlling relationships, many women do not wish to even be in the same situation, and some end up becoming the controlling abuser.

of its fantastic features and water resistance ability. But many users have got a wrong conception about te is a difference between waterproof and water resistant. We have seen many reports from users regarding Samsung Galaxy S5 water damage issue.
See Also-How To Fix Lag Issue On Samsung Galaxy S5
Galaxy S5 is IP67 certified, which means that the phone can survive in water up to one-meter depth for the maximum of 30 minutes. The Galaxy S5 is not designed to deal with high-pressure water that comes from the water tap.
So do not put your Galaxy S5 in water intentionally. The water-resistant feature is added as a safeguard against a sudden downpour or dreaded toilet drop.
Solution for Samsung Galaxy S5 water damage issue
Solution 1: Isopropyl Liquid to Solve Most of the Water Damaged S5 Problems
If you accidently dropped your Samsung Galaxy S5 in water, then act quickly and remove it from the water as soon as you can. Do not wait for anything else. While this is plain and simple, it is the first step to solving the problem of a water damaged phone. This step is especially important if you drop it in salt water.
If you love your phone and want it to work fine, then avoid the urge of pressing any buttons. It may cause the water to leak in deeper. Do not switch on the phone or use the touchscreen or press any of the buttons on the phone.
An easy solution to help to revive a phone that has been exposed to moisture, water or any form of a liquid, is the use of 99% isopropyl alcohol. It is very effective and it can fix a host of problems related to a phone that was dunked in water. Everything from the touch screen not working to the charging port not doing its job properly can be fixed with the help of isopropyl alcohol. But I am talking about the damage that has been caused because of water in the phone and not because your phone is physically damaged.
If that is the case, then isopropyl alcohol will not work. However, once you have tried using alcohol to fix the problem and your phone still does not work, then chances are that your phone’s hardware has been damaged and certain parts of your phone may need to be replaced.
When using Isopropyl alcohol, you will have to submerge your phone in it for at least a couple of hours and then dry it in a bowl of rice till it is completely dry before switching on your phone.
Solution 2: Phone responds only when plugged in a charger
If you have completely dried your phone in the bowl of uncooked rice and it still does not work then plug it into a charger to check if it is charging. If your phone recognizes the charger and the charging light comes on, then you may be able to give life back to your phone by replacing the phone battery. If you do not own a replacement battery or if you do not want to spend on one not knowing the outcome, then you can take the phone to a local repair shop where a professional can use a replacement battery to check if it is the battery that may be causing the problem. If you have a friend or a family member who uses an S5 then you can borrow their battery to check if your phone works or not. If it does then all you need to do is get a new battery for your phone. But if a replacement battery does not change anything on the phone then you must consider taking it to a professional.
Solution 3: Samsung Galaxy S5 Does Not Respond At All
If your phone is not responding at all then try to change the battery and check if it works on a new battery. If it does then you must buy a new battery for your phone.
Solution 4: Samsung Galaxy S5 Powers on but does not charge
If your phone switches on but you are not able to charge it then the first thing you must do is create a backup of all the files on the phone. Once you have created a backup of all the data, try to use a different charger to charge the phone. If it still does not work, try to check if it connects to your computer and if it can be recognized by the computer. If it still does not work then check if an external charger can help you charge the battery of your phone. If you do not find any solution, then you may consider the possibility of changing your phone.
Solution 5: S5 heats up while charging
If you have problems with your Samsung Galaxy S5 heating up when it is on charging then there isn’t a lot of troubleshooting that can help your phone. You must consider replacement options if this is the case because repairing the phone may involve a lot of hassle and there is a possibility that you will not be able to figure out where the problem is.
Solution 6: Galaxy S5 overheats
If your phone begins to overheat after it was dropped in water, then this means that there is a hardware malfunction and this can be difficult to repair on your own. You can consider a professional to help you sort the problem. The problem can be difficult to locate and this is why it cannot be solved easily. The best option is to check if you can replace the phone.
Solution 7: Discoloration of the screen
If the screen of your Samsung Galaxy S5 looks discoloured then the water has damaged the screen and it cannot be repaired. This means that your phone has to be replaced.
Solution 8: Black Screen or lines on the screen
Your phone’s flex cable is responsible for a proper display on your phone. If the display goes wrong, then you must check the flex cable of your phone. For those who know how to solve it, you must take your phone apart and look for abnormalities in the cable. I would suggest that you have a professional look into the issue if you are not as tech savvy. Because if you tinker with the cables of the phone, there is a possibility that you may cause more problems if other parts are hurt in the process.
These Samsung Galaxy S5 problems related to an exposure to moisture and water are the most common ones. Most of the times, it is difficult to repair the phone yourself if it does not work after drying up. You may have to consider replacement options a lot of times if the phone is damaged by water or moisture. If you would want to replace the phone then check for the LDI (Liquid Damage Indicator) which will tell you if the phone’s warranty has been voided or not. Try these steps yourself if the warranty is voided, but if the phone is still under warranty then it is best to take it to a Samsung store for professional help.
To check the LDI you must remove the back cover and the battery of your phone. Now check the images and look for the LDI label. A white LDI label means that there is no liquid damage but a pink or a red LDI means that there is liquid damage which voids the warranty of your phone. If the phone’s warranty has been voided then you can try the above steps to help you solve the problem yourself.

Customs, Taxes & Duty
We have no authority over a local country's customs department
In most countries, duty does not apply when purchasing antiques aged over 100 years old. We will mark your purchases as 'antiques' to ensure this is the case.
You may be liable to pay local taxes on imported goods. Usually your country will have a website or customs office providing you wit Tajikistan (TJ), Turkmenistan, Republic Of (TM), Ukraine (UK)
The Responsible Choice
Our jewellery is Conflict Free and Eco-Friendly and when purchasing an item from us you can be sure you are not contributing to any unethical procedures.
When buying new jewellery you can never be 100% sure that they are not conflict free.
Choosing antique means:
you are buying conflict-free
you are not contributing in any way to a locally destructive cycle of violence, warfare, economic inequality, exploitation and human suffering
you can have total confidence that your money is not supporting industrial practices that destroy the environment, poison the land or displace disadvantaged people
you are helping to eliminate the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds and precious stones
your item most likely predates any regional conflicts associated with the diamond trade and precious gemstone mining
you will be reducing your carbon footprint
you are acting as conservator rather than consumer
To see how authorities are trying to combat conflict diamonds visit the The Kimberley Process website

The Personal Touch
Finding the perfect piece should be a fun and enlightening experience. To help achieve this we are here to lend our customers a helping hand and provide impartial expert advice. Building lasting relationships is far more important to us than a quick sale.

automated app marketing
We are excited to announce the US launch of the Amazon Appstore for Android. If you’ve already submitted your app(s) – thank you! We couldn’t have launched this store without your support. From Games to Utilities, we have apps to suit our customers’ many Android app wants and needs.
Over the past few months we have been sharing quite a bit of information about what you as a developer can utilize in the Developer Portal and in the Amazon Appstore itself. As you can see, we built the store to make it easy to find, discover and buy Android apps. We believe a more compelling customer experience will in turn result in better monetization.
Amazon Appstore highlights:
In true Amazon fashion, we’re making discoverability easier, which gets your apps in front of more customers. Specifically, we are offering a few unique features such as recommendations based on customers’ browse and purchase history. This is one of the automated marketing features we discussed previously. Automated marketing includes placements in search results, browse based results, bestsellers, and more. We will also be doing ongoing promotional activity designed to attract new and repeat customers to the Amazon Appstore like the paid app for free promotion on the homepage. We have been working with many of you to line up quality apps for these programs, and we look forward to continuing to work with you to promote your titles.
Reporting in the Developer Portal:
Now that we’re live, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with Amazon Appstore reporting. You can find reporting once you log into your account in the Amazon Appstore Developer Portal. To view your reporting, log into the Developer Portal and click on the “Reports” tab. You will see a page that looks like this:
You should also submit any new apps or app updates. We encourage you to take advantage of the launch momentum to get your app(s) in front of customers as soon as possible.

New Delhi: A Dantewada court has acquitted Adivasi rights activist Soni Sori in 2011 sedition case filed against her. Sori and three others were charged with supplying money to Maoists, and Sori had been arrested in the case in 2011 from Delhi.
The police case had claimed that Lala paid Sori and Kodopi Rs 15 lakh on behalf of Essar, to hand over to Maoists. “The prosecution has not been able h 14 and made available on March 15.
The four were booked under Indian Penal Code section 124 (A) (sedition), 121 (waging, or attempting to wage war, or abetting waging of war, against Government of India), 120-B (criminal conspiracy), provisions of the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act.
This acquittal means that Sori has now been exonerated in all the cases filed against her during the previous Bharatiya Janata Party government in the state, the newspaper said.
Sori has been alleging for years that she suffered police atrocities when she was taken into custody in this case. While welcoming the court’s judgment, she said, “Can they return the 11 years back to me?”
“I was implicated in false cases. I had to fight for over a decade to prove myself innocent. I was a school teacher…these false cases ruined my life, my dignity, and my family had to suffer,” she said.
“Who will bring back my dignity and 11 years of my life lost in fighting against false charges? Can the state government or the Centre return it? It is not only about Soni Sori, as several tribals of Bastar region have been bearing the brunt of such false cases,” she claimed.

Spanish Olive Oils
Spain is by far the world's biggest producer of olive oils, and some of the best oils are found here.
Olive groves appeared in Spain with the Phoenician and Greek settlers, and was further encouraged by Romans, who introduced new cultivation techniques to increase the production and quality for their own consumption in the Roman Empire. In later years, the Arabs continued olive oil production, perfecting pressing and storage processes. Today, olive groves have largely passed from family farms to larger companies, but the work is still a process requiring much manual labor and dependence on nature.
Olive oil is produced throughout Spain, but each region has its own varieties and styles. As with wine, olives are deeply affected by the soil and climate they are grown in. Some regions are particular famed for their balanced, full-bodied oils and have acquired DO (Denomination of Origin) status. In total Spain produces about a third of the world's total olive production, and around 80% is produced in Andalucia. Some of these olives are exported before they are pressed into oil, and most "Italian" olive oils don't use Italien olives, they mostly use olives that come from Andalucia.
The most important olive oil producing areas in Andalucia is in the province of Jaen, where the main olive type is Picual, and other authorized DO varieties include Verdala, Real and Manzanilla de Jaen, and in the province of Cordoba, where the authorized DO olive varieties include Oicuda, Pajarero and Hojiblanco. DO certified Andalucian olive oils tend to be full bodied and tasty. Catalonia also produces olive oil, which tends to be on the lighter side. The principal cultivation and production areas are Les Garrigues, in the province of Lerida, and Siurana, very nearby in the province of Tarragona.
The very best oils are labeled extra virgin or virgin, reflecting their maximum acidity and ideal pressing. Virgin oils can only be cold pressed and cannot be treated in any artificial way (only washing, decanting and filtration is allowed). Choosing Olive Oils come down to quality and flavor. Just as the characteristics of fine wines are governed by different grape varieties, environment and weather, so it is with the olive and its oils. The simplest way to taste an olive oil is to pour some onto a saucer and dip in some good crusty white bread. You must judge it by its flavor and bouquet only, not by its color. Once opened, your oil bottle or tin will keep for months if kept in a cool, dark place out of direct light. Delicate flavored oils should be consumed within a year, but fuller flavored and heavier, fruity oils can be kept for 2 to 3 years without fear. If your oil becomes to cold it will appear cloudy, this will disappear if you bring it gently back to room temperature, but for the same reason you should never keep olive oils in the refrigerator.
In some regions of Spain, especially in Andalucia, tour operators arrange olive oil tours, where you can visit various producers, see the olive trees and the mills, taste different quality of oils, and of course buy samples to bring back home.

Logan movie review: a tale of a broken man redeemed
By Matthew Alexander
Read next9 ridiculous Wikipedia lists to waste away the work day
Logan is the story of Wolverine post X-Men when the world no longer needs heroes and mutants are a thing of the past.
This Western-style film was written by Scott Frank and James Mangold, with the latter also claiming a director credit. Mangold had previously directed The Wolverine so he’s no stranger to the character. He’s also directed the critically acclaimed western 3:10 to Yuma which explains why this instalment to the Wolverine franchise feels much like an adage to old Westerns.
In fact, it feels pretty close to the Old Man Logan comics, the aesthetic and general tone of the movie combined with Mangold’s direction is pretty fantastic, to say the least.
The flick is set in an alternate universe, separate to the X-Men franchise and follows a downtrodden Wolverine as he tries to scale a a pit of booze and rage. This all while trying to take care of a dying Professor X.
His dynamic relationship with Professor X and Caliban — a mutant with heightened intelligence and tracking capabilities — depicts both the raging animal and the kindhearted man Logan can be. This dynamic is fleshed out further when Logan has to endure the burden of taking care of a young girl named Laura who was thrust into his care.
Being Hugh Jackman’s final performance as the Wolverine, you can bet it was probably the best we’ve seen him as the feral beast. What’s even more impressive is that his performance portrayed Logan and Wolverine so proficiently that you didn’t need him to wear a bright yellow suit to tell when he transitioned from the man to the beast. Even when it came to his dialogue.
You could really feel the intensity of Jackman’s performance when the story’s pace changed from an action feast to a sombre narrative when Logan and Laura connect on an emotional level for a brief moment.
Logan is a rivetting installment to the X-Men Franchise, and will definitely move you in more ways than one
Spoiler (kind of): There were moments of elation and deafening sorrow in the theatre when Logan cut his way through hordes of enemies and when he lay broken after facing what could possibly be his greatest enemy.
The antagonists of Logan are no slouches either. Pierce, played by Boyd Holbrook, is a ruthless mercenary tasked with tracking down Logan and retrieve Laura. Holbrook might not have that much screen time as other cast members, but he too delivers a strong performance.
To portray the full scope of brutality of Wolverine, the film is rated-R. This gave the creators of Logan all the more freedom to be the beast that he is. The violence and foul language give a strong sense of Logan’s reality.
From a production point of view, the film is shot well and delivers an overall amazing experience for film buffs. For fans of the X-Men series, if you ever felt disappointed because of latest instalments in the franchise, Logan somewhat makes up for those wrongs.
Verdict: If you’re looking for a great action film with loads of drama, and something you and your partner can enjoy, then this is a must watch. That is, unless you’re under-18 or impartial to graphic big-screen violence.
Score: 9/10

Questions About Adult Dating!
What are 5 Greatest Perks of Casual Sex?
There are many perks of having friends with benefits (or fuck buddy), and if you've never had the pleasure of having one, please let us inform you of all of the great reasons why you should try. Not only do you get the sexual satisfaction of any great relationship but you can skip all of the BS that they entail by remaining to be as single as ever but not sexually deprived.
Number 1 - You Get Instant Satisfaction
When you have a friend with benefits, there is nothing wrong with sending the late night text or planning out your sex nights with them. If your friend is always available just like you, then you could be getting instant satisfaction within a couple of minutes. There is no working up to try and persuade whoever you're dating that you're finally ready to take the relationship to the next level, but instead you're already at the level and get crazier every time.
Number 2 - There's No Drama
Every relationship has drama, even if you're the most perfect couple on Earth but having a casual relationship can help you avoid one less drama filled interaction in your life. The moment that drama starts happening, which can happen because people start to have feelings, then you can cut them off without any backlash. There is no harm in blocking or deleting any casual sex partner that is trying to cause you any drama because that was the whole point of being in that type of agreement.
Number 3 - There Are No Rules
All of the texting and dates and feelings bullshit is out of the window. There aren't rules when it comes to how many times you should be fucking during the week or texting to plan things. It depends on the mutual availability and whether both of you are still interested in pursuing this rendezvous.
Number 4 - You Can Save Money
Those gifts and dinners and gas that you're spending your hard earned money on can go straight into your wallet because you don't get to spend any of it. Obviously, maybe a little bit of gas if you need to get to your fuckbuddy's place, but you can always swap places, so that evens out.
Number 5 - There Is No Effort
You can skip the shallow talk about trying to get to know someone when all you want is in their pants No need to try and find things you have in common or any similarities when in reality you can just get down to business the second you guys are alone. Obviously, you might want to put effort into your physical appearance and personal hygiene to keep a fuck buddy, but not the kind of energy you need to maintain a serious relationship.

You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
Sickness Certificates

Evidence that you are sick
If you are sick for more than seven days, your employer can ask you to give them some form of medical evidence to support payment of SSP (statutory sick pay).
It is up to your employer to decide whether you are incapable of work. A medical certificate, now called a 'Statement of Fitness for Work’ (see below) from your doctor is strong evidence that you are sick and would normally be accepted, unless there is evidence to prove otherwise.
You could also provide evidence from someone who is not a medical practitioner, e.g. a dentist. Your employer will decide whether or not this evidence is acceptable. If your employer has any doubts, they may still ask for a medical certificate from your GP.
Statement of Fitness for Work - ’Fit Note'
The 'fit note' was introduced on 6 April 2010. With your employer's support, the note will help you return to work sooner by providing more information about the effects of your illness or injury.
For more information see the DirectGov website (where this information was sourced)
These are appropriate for either new problems or more chronic illness where your question can be answered without having to take time off your work.
Suitable problems might be advice about medication, requests for reports, finding out about hospital results / letters, or advice on how to treat simple ailments such as colds, coughs, chicken pox etc.
Please do not use this service for serious health problems or complex issues requiring more than a couple of minutes brief discussion. Please request one if appropriate.
FAILURE TO ATTEND OR CANCEL AN APPOINTMENT
Missed or failed appointments are a waste of a valuable resource. Our policy is the following:
If a patient fails to attend two routine appointments in one twelve month period, a warning letter will be issued.
If a further routine appintment is missed within the same twelve month period, the patient will be removed from the patient list.
Please assist us by contacting the practice ASAP if you cannot attend your appointment as this allows for another patient to use your appointment.
LATE FOR AN APPOINTMENT
If you are going to be late for an appointment, please contact us to let us know. If you are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment, we may have to ask you to rebook. This is because other patients are waiting to be seen and any delays can lead to a backlog of patients then becoming late themselves.

3 Doorways to Healing Anxiety
“Deconstructing" anxiety in mind, body, and spirit.

THE BASICS
What Is Anxiety?
Find a therapist to overcome anxiety
Source: mcmurryjulie/Pixabay
“Come to the cliff, he said. We are afraid, they said. Come to the cliff, he said. They came. He pushed them. And they flew.” —Stuart Wilde
In the “Deconstructing Anxiety” model, it is posited that a single “core fear” underlies every problem we experience. The great key to resolving anxiety is to look at and, as necessary, directly face this core fear. In this post, we will describe the three “doorways” that can be opened with that key, the doorways of the mind, the body, and the spirit.1
Opening the doorway of the mind means getting a deep insight into a problem and discovering it is not “real” in the sense we usually think of it. At most, we find a manageable problem. Most often, we find there was no actual problem at all, only the residue of childhood assumptions never questioned.2 Opening the doorway of the body means taking a physical action to literally move through one’s fear, giving the direct experience that the problem we were afraid of cannot carry out its threat. And opening the doorway of the spirit means getting so filled up with a “higher” perspective that the fear loses its power, appearing insignificant in comparison.
A Holistic Approach
This is one of the fundamental descriptors of what is called holistic or transpersonal psychotherapy. The three doorways represent the whole that we are—mind, body, and spirit. It is impossible to address one part of who we are without addressing the other two; as in systems theory, when one part is affected, the other two are as well. Therefore, if we are to fully resolve anxiety, if we are to achieve true freedom, we must do so in mind, body, and spirit. All three doorways are inextricably linked and must be recognized as such in our search for a cure for what ails us.
To elaborate: In entering the doorway of the mind, we seek a true insight into the source of our anxiety. Once found, this insight shows the anxiety to be “illusory,” as above. If we have really seen this, then we spontaneously feel “bigger” than the fear and experience an expansion of the spirit. At the same time, the physical tension in the muscles release spontaneously and we realize a deep and profound relaxation. If, on the other hand, someone starts by walking through the doorway of the body, using, for instance, an abreactive approach such as in Gestalt therapy (pounding, screaming, or otherwise squeezing out the physical tension on a pillow), we may know they are not finished until they have a concomitant release of fear in the mind and expansion of the spirit. And if someone resolves their fear by getting filled with a higher, “spiritual” perspective, seeing the fear as inconsequential in comparison, then it must necessarily dry up in their thoughts and melt out of their body as well, if the resolution of anxiety is to be complete.
Advantages of This Model
Again, it is not only necessary but, in the end, unavoidable that we address all three doorways if we are to heal from anxiety and discover our fulfillment. Furthermore, this holistic model provides an essential flexibility in our approach that can save enormous amounts of time. We no longer have to work out problems that arise in the mind, body, and spirit separately. Working through the problem at the root in one of the doorways spontaneously resolves it in the other two. Because these three doorways are so thoroughly interconnected, it is not necessary to spend years in meditation, work out all holding patterns in the body, or resolve all neuroses in the mind. Approaching each of these separately, and without getting at the root of the true problem, will only resolve some of our problems, while others will remain to keep us bound to anxious thoughts, physical tensions, or spiritual limitations.
In this way, our holistic model also becomes our trusted compass. It can be used to assess whether we have, in fact, faced the right fear at the root of the problem. If not, problems will persist or resurface. And it can be used to measure whether our fear is truly and fully resolved. We simply check whether the fear is released in each of the three doorways: Do we have a true insight that the fear isn’t “real,” a deep relaxation in the body, and a spiritual sense of new possibilities no longer hampered by fear?
It can sometimes be much easier to address our fear by opening one doorway instead of another. The flexibility of our approach lets us choose which doorway is most accessible to us in a particular situation. For example, someone who has obsessive thoughts may do well to avoid the doorway of the mind if it were to encourage further obsession. For another, the same doorway might be the best way to discover the fear at the root, with an insight that clears up confusion and shows their fear to be unreal. Someone who is filled with anger may need to discharge that energy physically first by walking through the Doorway of the Body. And someone who is depressed from an existential despair or struggling with a sense of meaninglessness might well find the doorway of the spirit to be most effective.

1 The word “spirituality” can evoke much resistance in our society, but this is easily taken care of. Here is a workable definition: Spirituality is that which transcends the limits of our usual, empirically based understanding of who we are and what reality is in a way that coheres (i.e., is not psychotic or psychologically disorganized) and is fully integrated (i.e., all parts of the understanding relate to each other in a logically consistent way), giving a sense of purpose and meaning to existence. This is no more mysterious than the phenomenon of thinking ... we cannot use our five senses to know that we have thoughts, and yet no one would deny we do!

Textile-dyeing, a dangerous global threat for the living being and the environment.
Textile-dyeing is the world's most-polluting industries among all. Fashion industry is responsible for up to one-fifth of water pollution which leads weak regulation and enforcement in producer countries like Bangladesh.
China and other Asian countries releases trillions liters of chemically tainted wastewater. .
Helen Regan, a writer of CNN wrote a report describing how fashion hunger is killing the rivers in Bangladesh and elsewhere.
Bangladesh's Ministrerating sectors including ready-made garments and textiles," reported CNN.

Minister Shahab Uddin said in a statement e-mailed to CNN that a range of measures were being taken to decrease the pollution, including updating environmental laws, imposing fines on polluters, monitoring water quality, setting up centralized treatment plants, and working with international development partners to improve wastewater treatment.
Cost of color
According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the fashion industry uses around 93 billion cubic meters (21 trillion gallons) of water annually, enough to fill 37 million Olympic swimming pools.
Producing a single pair of jeans consumes around 7,500 liters (2,000 gallons) of water, from growing raw cotton to finished product, according to the United Nations.
To ensure the blue color, the thread or fabric is repeatedly dunked in huge vats of synthetic indigo dye. After dyeing, the denim is treated and washed with more chemicals to soften or texture it. Getting the faded or "worn in" look requires even more chemical bathing, which uses acids, enzymes, bleach and formaldehyde. But jeans aren't the only polluters.
The polluted Jian River in Luoyang, north China's Henan province, runs red from the dye that was dumped into the city's storm water pipe network in December 2011/CNN
Chemical-laden water is also used to irrigate crops, with one recent study finding that textile dyes were present in vegetables and fruit grown around Savar.
Once in the wastewater, dyeing chemicals are difficult to remove, said Sarah Obser, head of sustainability at PFI Hong Kong, a company that provides environmental and factory audits in Asia. "The substances don't degrade so they remain in the environment."
Human impact
Workers and people living close to factories often bear the brunt of the pollution. According to Ma, fishermen living near dye houses and textile mills along the tributaries of the Qiantang River have seen their catches shrink. "They have lost their livelihoods because of it," he added.
In Bangladesh, the Savar resident who did not want to be named said he doesn't go into the water around his neighborhood anymore.
"This water causes sores on the body," he said, adding that people washing their hands or faces in the water have experienced fevers and skin irritation.
Shift in attitudes
Ma said factories and dye houses are increasingly being moved into industrial zones with centralized wastewater treatment plants, or being threatened with fines and closure if they don't comply with regulations.
A recent study found that such efforts have improved water quality in some regions but toxic and polluted water still persists in parts of the country.

There has also been a push for innovation in finding alternative chemicals and new technologies leading to the development of more environmentally-friendly dyes.
Mountain to climb
Many problems are still unchanged. For instance, China's centralized treatment plants sometimes can't cope with the volume of wastewater produced in its new industrial parks. And existing factories, saddled with costly treatment processes, often build secret discharge pipes or release their wastewater at night to avoid detection, Ma said.
CNN has reached out to China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment for comment.
It also remains incredibly hard for consumers to navigate the complex web of supply chains the fashion industry is built on, even if they try to shop ethically. And while strides towards traceability and accountability have been made, there are still many brands and manufacturers not taking sustainability seriously, according to experts. Some experts believe the drive needs to come from big brands.
Factory waste including dyes from the many textile factories in the region drain into a tributary of the Citarum river outside Indonesia's Bandung in August 2018/CNN
Ridding the fashion industry of hazardous chemicals is likely to become even more challenging as our clothing addiction increases. Apparel consumption is set to rise by 63% to 102 million tons a year in 2030, according to a 2017 Pulse of the Fashion report.
In Bangladesh, those living along Savar's black, contaminated rivers say they still feel helpless to stop the factories from polluting. Many fear repercussions from factory owners who often hold significant influence or political sway.

Heart Day <3
Post author By Debbie Rosslan

No Comments on Heart Day <3
What’s your favorite exercise to get your heart rate up or exercise?
*Running *Walking *Jump Roping *Lifting Weights *Rowing *Skiing *Skating *Snowboarding *Volleyball *Basketball *Football *Wrestling *Soccer *Baseball *Softball *Tennis *Pickleball *Hockey *Golf *Swimming *Gymnastics *Rock Climbing *Cycling *Skateboarding *Boxing
Soooooo many options and I’m sure I left some out for sure! It is recommended that your heart rate be between 120-150bpm for at least 30-60 minutes per day! Are you achieving that? Are you doing what’s necessary in order to keep your heart healthy?
When I taught PE, I had the kids play a tag game called “Heart Attack Tag”. There were 4 taggers, each representing four risk factors of heart attacks – Smoking, Sodium/Salt Intake, Junk Food, and Couch Potato. If you got tagged once you would place your arm over your chest indicating that you were 25% likely to have a heart attack but you were still in the game; tagged a second time, two arm crossed on chest (50% likely to have a heart attack). If you got tagged a third time – 75% chance of a heart attack – you had to lie on the floor and wait for the “Dr” to come and save you.
I believe this made quite and impression on the kiddos when they played it as the “Dr” would prescribe exercise in order to get back into the game…My mission is to help as many people as possible so if you are reading this and your nutrition and fitness are not up to par and run a risk of hurting your heart from one of the risk factors, get up and MOVE! Just 5 minutes is better than nothing! Think about what you are putting in your body to fuel it…is it good nutrition or is it junk? Eat mindfully not mindlessly – You’ve only got one body to live in and it’s up to you to love it enough to take care of it!

-Nothing is impossible, you just need to believe in what you are trying to accomplish – the word impossible should actually be I’m-Possible!!
-Set yourself up to win the day – find small wins you can celebrate – these small wins will allow you to keep moving forward to your goals!
-Roadblocks will happen, but you must remain stronger than those excuses that will come up! No Excuses!
-Remember where you want to be for you! Don’t try to make others happy before making yourself happy – Love yourself enough to do what’s best for YOU!
-Own your future and keep falling forward towards your goals – one step after the other!

Their elderly victims are often subjected to physical abuse, neglect, abandonment, sexual abuse and murder."
—BennettVictim
In 1977, Mario Masiello, a New York City municipal employee retired to Walterboro, South Carolina with his wife, Elizabeth. He thought of the area as "paradise."
In 1986, Mario's only son, a decorated Vietnam vet passed away from service related illness. Mario was devastated by the loss and his health began to decline. He developed Alzheimer's, his hearing diminished further necessitating hearing aids, he was diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes and high blood pressure.
Mario declined further after his wife, his childhood sweetheart, who battled emphysema for years died in 1999. Elizabeth had hired an aide for Mario prior to her passing but the stress impacted him and his Alzheimer's progressed as indicated by his medical records below.
Several neighbors and strangers entered Mario's life despite vigorous opposition from his family who retained legal counsel. Meddling and unwanted intervention resulted in insufficient medical care after long-term relationships with Mario’s established doctors were severed by interference from the above. Also, since he was an insulin dependent diabetic, poor diet and alcohol consumption encouraged by his “friends” was contraindicated with his medications and while that was explained to the above, they ignored medical advice.
Mario had a stroke in early 2001 requiring all sustenance be provided through a surgically inserted stomach tube; all meals and fluids were subsequently given by his health care aide and neighbors. All took an unusually intense and robust interest in Mario’s condition…not to mention his assets. While his family still lived in NY, they were present despite interference from interlopers who were intrusive and appeared to have ulterior motives.
A witness reported that a “homeless woman” previously brought into Mario’s home by the above to be another “aide” subsequently pressured him into marrying her (which would entitle her to a widow’s inheritance) or she’d leave him. Threat of desertion is a typical elder abuse and exploitation tactic, advises forensic and geriatric psychiatrist, Bennett Blum, MD, whose pioneering and acclaimed work appears in Paradise Costs.
The family had deep suspicions and notified Adult Protective Services, the Walterboro sheriff, physicians, social workers and attorneys as well as the Probate Court after fraudulent documents were registered with the Court.
After Mario's death in August 2001, other suspicious and frightening factors became apparent.
Media
The NY Post reported on December 18, 2005 in the article below, re: Mario, "Meanwhile, [Brenda] Crosby, 37, and Walterboro resident Stephanie Ospitale, 57, had been helping to care for Mario and continued doing so up until he died. 'We had no idea he had any money. He was just a poor old man who needed care and companionship', Crosby told the The Post."
NY Post reporter: "You have a movie here..."
Press Release
New Book Exposes Elder Abuse in America
Driven by grim statistics from national elder advocacy groups stating there may be more than 25 million cases of elder exploitation a year in America, a victim's daughter offers her father's suspicious forensic report to readers to exemplify a terrifying reality. Created in a work-book format with pre-written reality writing letters as tear-outs, Paradise Costs—A Victim's Daughter Fights Back Against Elder Abuse, is a frightening personal narrative calling attention to the Elder Justice Act now before both Houses of Congress.
New York (PRWEB) November 14, 2007 — Deception, corruption, exploitation and manipulation collide in Paradise Costs: A Victim's Daughter Fights Back Against Elder Abuse, the heart-wrenching story of an infirm, 80-year-old man with Alzheimer's who was taken from his family, stripped of his assets and exploited despite the pleas of his next of kin.
What makes this story even more compelling? It's not fiction.
Mario Masiello, a hearing-impaired, honorably discharged, World War II veteran retired from the New York City Transit Authority and relocated to the quaint town of Walterboro, South Carolina to realize his life-long dream of utopian living. Twenty years later, his blissful life was ravaged by the death of his wife and by several illnesses including diabetes, Alzheimer's and depression. Paradise Costs tells the chilling true story of the last years of his life when he was "grandpa-napped" from his family by neighbors and "friends."
"I never thought this type of betrayal and brutality could happen in my family," says Irene A. Masiello, Paradise Costs author and Mario's daughter. "My experience has made me realize how little people know about the deadly American pandemic that is elder abuse."
The American Psychological Association estimates that approximately 2.1 million senior citizens are victims of physical and psychological neglect and abuse every year. However, the numbers are grossly misleading for too many cases go unreported while most people are unaware or under-informed of elder abuse's broader definitions.
In this gripping personal narrative the author gives a voice to countless victims who suffer and die in silence while the staggering issues paint a gruesome picture. Driven by more grim statistics from national elder advocacy groups stating there may be an additional 25 million cases of elder exploitation, Irene shares her family's story. In a bold stance, she drives home the pervasiveness of elder abuse, neglect and exploitation by offering her father's suspicious forensic report to readers to exemplify a terrifying reality. Even more important, she offers a viable solution to the problem that allows every American to be pro-active in helping to eradicate this social ill.
"As difficult as the aftermath of this tragedy has been, I am determined not to let my father's death be in vain," says Irene. "My goal now is to take my story to the nation and raise awareness of this deplorable social ill that's plaguing America."
Irene's objective is to provide a voice to the millions of victims that fall through the cracks every year. As readers accompany the Masiello family along their horrific journey they can't help but recognize and call for legislation that could prevent their own families from being victimized by this fast-growing phenomenon. "It's robbing our seniors of their dignity and right to life while causing pain and hardship for their loved ones."
"I'm urging participation via our interactive book to lobby legislators to pass the Elder Justice Act [EJA] now on the floor of both Houses of Congress," says the author. "Hopefully, others will be spared the suffering my father was forced to endure and their families will not have to look on helplessly in horror as mine did."
Masiello is urging national reform addressing elder issues and continued support to implement, amend and enforce the EJA. A portion of her proceeds from her book will be donated to a non-profit organization supporting that cause.
"A Poor Old Man"?
Welcome to what was once a beautiful waterfront family home, one rich in tradition with a beautiful collection of objets d'art located in Walterboro, South Carolina. On the sofa table is a photo of the Masiellos’ only son, Marty, whose picture welcomed visitors. In 1986, at 35, he died from service related illness acquired in Vietnam where he served with the 82nd Airborne as a Green Beret. Marty was recipient of the Bronze Star, Soldier's Medal of Valor and the Air Force Service Cross, et al. His two young sons grew up without their dad and were disinherited after ravenous residents of Walterboro had themselves named grandpa’s heirs via fraudulent Court papers.
Come peek inside and see sacred, intimate space in the home of an exploited 81-year old victim named Mario Masiello. Over the years, the house had been totally renovated and it was filled with accumulated treasured artifacts, memories and dreams collected over his life in happier bygone times. Then strangers with agendas left nothing but a heartbreaking and devastated shell of a much loved, but shattered life belonging to our patriarch.
Some might characterize the circumstances surrounding Mr. Masiello's demise as an elaborate conspiracy of misdirection, misinformation and treachery. Only the participants may know the whole truth. It’s clear, given Court records, however, a “feeding” frenzy took place and Mario’s life was decimated by meddlesome, voracious, greedy strangers who interjected themselves into a sacrosanct family dynamic and a home where they were not invited. Despite Mario’s physician going on the record stating he was “psychologically unstable”… ”a threat to himself and others”… ”at risk,” strangers took over a fragile life of a “severe Alzheimer’s dementia” patient. Despite pleas from the family and physicians, Mario was tragically exploited and this heartbreaking, lethal spectacle was the result.
After years of legal issues, in 2005, the NY Post interviewed and quoted Brenda Crosby, a neighbor of Mario’s on Prices Bridge Lane on the outskirts of Walterboro.
She told the NY Post: “We had no idea he had any money. He was just a poor old man...”

A Victim's Daughter Fights Back Against Elder Abuse
by Irene A. Masiello, afterword by Bennett Blum, MD
Book Excerpt: by Irene A. Masiello
"Never in my wildest imagination could I have fathomed that my Dad's birth data would one day be used as an identification number in a forensic toxicology lab five years after his death. However, after his life ended under suspicious circumstances, I would be compelled to conduct my own investigation to determine whether my father was a victim of some type of conspiracy."
"As a family, we needed to find healing and closure. The only way to come to terms with Dad's demise would be to eliminate and/or investigate the possibility of foul play...."
Please note: the forensic toxicology tests were recommended under the guidance and advice of experts in their fields, i.e. a federal agent and a medical expert.
Mario passed away on August 25, 2001. His family stopped by the sheriff’s later that week to voice their concerns before departing for NYC early in September. A deputy assured them it would be looked into but no communication ever came from that office. The family returned to New York City and shortly after their arrival home, the World Trade Center tumbled. Experts immediately advised the family not to send specimens to any forensic lab at that time due to the catastrophic events of 9/11.
The consulting physician, qualified to be an expert witness, stated, "Millions of samples of DNA, etc, will be pouring into forensic labs across the world. Wait a few years; if the samples get lost, they’re not replaceable.”
Meanwhile, legal matters in South Carolina proceeded. Mario’s Will had been re-written by a Walterboro attorney representing one of the people who eventually spoke to the NY Post. The family was disinherited and the interlopers became the new heirs to Mario’s house, car, truck and all items depicted on this site. The dining room set was imported from China especially for Mario, and made of solid, hand-carved rosewood. It was appraised in the mid-1980s at $28,000.
The NY Post later quoted one person as saying, “We didn’t know he had any money. He was just a poor old man….”
Additionally, the graves of Mario, his wife and son remain in possession of interlopers rather than family members. The family still hopes to exhume Mario’s body so that various claims can be legally verified and the truth can be ascertained.
Finally, after waiting years, as advised by the medical expert, the family, haunted and hungering for answers and closure, sent Mario’s hair specimen to another expert…a forensic toxicologist. He, the Director of Toxicology at Ohio State University, College of Medicine in Columbus, Ohio, performed the testing.
Hair retains its scientific integrity from ancient to modern times and forensic toxicology is extremely accurate. Expert testing on Mario’s hair was performed twice, a decision made by the toxicologist, to be sure that the stunning results were accurate.
The results demonstrated a cocaine metabolite (meaning organically processed and/or digested cocaine), high potent Ecstasy (both “party drugs”) and Mario’s medically prescribed anti-psychotic drug were identified on the forensic toxicology report as being present in his hair.
And tragically, this story and stories like it are more common than most can imagine. Elder abuse and exploitation is an American pandemic with 1 in 6 seniors experiencing some type of abuse and/or exploitation. Experts agree this number is estimated to be inaccurate and is too low.
Excerpt from the Afterword: by Bennett Blum, MD
"Paradise Costs is a tragic, true-life tale. Unfortunately, the behaviors depicted herein are all too common. No one knows how often criminals, 'brand new best friends' or family members exploit the elderly. And this was one of the questions considered at a 2005 conference attended by experts on elder financial abuse from around the U.S. Their working conclusion was that 1 out of 6 elderly would be victims.
Money has always been associated with the worst of human behavior. Elder financial abuse is no exception. Their elderly victims are often subjected to physical abuse, neglect, abandonment, sexual abuse and murder. As one long-time investigator of elder financial abuse says, 'Once the money is gone, all that is left is a witness.'"
Forensic Toxicology
** The presence of a drug metabolite in a forensic report is a reliable indicator thatdrug metabolite is a by-product of the body breaking down, or “metabolizing,” a drug into a different substance.
Pleaspassed away on August 25, 2001. Forensic analysis was delayed on advice of two experts (a federal agent and a well known physician) due to events at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 which, “would flood forensic labs around the world for years to come.”
Gas chromatograph mass spectroscopy was used to examine Mr. Masiello’s hair (twice to verify the stunning results) and that technique is accurate, widely accepted and reliable. Mario was also medicated with Rispiradol to control symptoms of severe Alzheimer’s and its presence is noted in the report.

Below are excerpts from medical records of Mario Masiello's as noted by four different physicians; medical records are legal documents.
September 24, 1996 - a Charleston, South Carolina internist notated: "[Mario’s] wife is concerned about his short-term memory. She and her daughter have noticed a significant change over the last six months to one year and asked me to do some formal testing. Mario agreed to this and I was surprised at the findings. He could not remember three objects even for one minute - could not remember his birth date and is having considerable problems with anomia [definition: lacking a capacity to understand or use spoken or written language]. His wife described an incident where their dog brought home a dead raccoon and told Mario on several occasions that it was a raccoon, he told me that he knew exactly what the animal was but he couldn’t remember the name. When we told him it was a raccoon, he said, ‘yeah, that’s it,’ but then one minute later couldn’t remember the name of the animal. I was quite surprised at how bad his short-term memory was and he even had some difficulty with his long-term memory that is, remembering what city he was born in. At first, he said it was NYC, but then when he was told by his wife that was not true, he had to think for awhile and then remembered that, in fact, he had been born in Philadelphia…."
May 29, 1997 - the same Charleston internist noted: "Mr. Masiello comes with his daughter from New York and his wife for re-evaluation of his diabetes and dementia…I think his short-term memory is significantly impaired. On previous exams he has been unable to remember three objects even immediately after I mentioned them and today he could not remember his home address… his wife and daughter admit that he does lose things frequently and is becoming more agitated and at times somewhat hostile. I spent about 20 minutes counseling him and asked him if he would please keep an initial appointment with [another physician’s name] in the Memory Disorders Clinic. [Mario] has adamantly refused despite my strong recommendation."
July 27, 1998 – a Walterboro internist noted: "I met with the patient’s wife and daughter for about a 30 minute family conference during which time we discussed issues related to his progressive dementia, including assigning legal guardianship or power of attorney to his daughter, limiting his financial risk and taking away his car keys so that he does not continue to drive."
September 28, 1998 – a Walterboro internist noted: "[Mr. Masiello] prior to the office visit left the office to smoke. Patient had to be escorted/directed back into the office by the staff. Patient would have problems concentrating and answering questions."
September 8, 1999 – a Walterboro physician wrote to a town judge: "RE: MARIO MASIELLO, Dear Judge, The above individual is a patient of mine. Due to his medical condition and his cognitive function, I do not believe that he can safely operate a motor vehicle. I recommend that his driver’s license be revoked."
September 24, 1999 – Director of a medical department at the local hospital noted in a letter to the South Carolina Highway Department: "Mr. Mario Masiello was evaluated by me on September 21st, 1999. Due to his medical condition, I do not believe he can safely operate a motor vehicle and I recommend his driver's license be revoked."
October 6, 1999 – an independent psychiatric consultation by a medical doctor results in involuntary commitment of Mario Masiello.
October 11, 1999 – a Walterboro internist noted: "I met for about 15 minutes with [Mario's] daughter Irene to review recent developments. [Mario] has been psychologically unstable since his wife died about a month ago. Previous he had moderately severe Alzheimer’s dementia with very short-term memory. His daughter has been increasingly concerned about his safety especially because he has access to a car and firearms. She shared her concerns with Dr. [psychiatrist] at Mental Health, and [Mario] underwent commitment and is currently in Charter Hospital. Given the information received from her and my past experience with Mr. Masiello, I have no doubt that he is a threat to others and himself…he may need assisted living. I would consider him to be at high risk for suicide as well as high risk for motor vehicle accidents and firearm accidents."
November 24, 1999 – a Walterboro internist noted: "The patient is...at home and has a paid 24-hour caregiver because of his Alzheimer's disease."

Tommaso Zillio: Okay, here is Today we are bringing you another music theory interview. Today we have with us Christian Muenzner, famous for playing with bands such as Obscura, Necrophagist, Spawn of Possession - all great bands. Christian, how is it going today?
Christian Muenzner: It's going very good. It's going very good. I'm glad to be featured on the website. I think it's a very good idea to make a site like this. It's my pleasure, thank you.
TZ: You just said you just finished your second solo record.
CM: Exactly.
TZ: That's great. I can't wait to hear it! I have a few questions for you that our readers have written. The first thing I want to know is if there is any advice you might give to our readers who are just starting discovering music theory and they want to be able to play as people like you, essentially.
CM: I would say it's very important that you start simple and you do not try to get the whole picture at once and that you are patient, because that's something I see often in my lessons. I see people who don't know the names of the notes on the guitar yet but they already want to learn how to improvise over complex key changes and things like that. Of course, that's not possible when the basics are missing. Which is why I think it's very important to start very simple and go step by step and not try to understand everything at the same time.
Then, it's important that you remember when you can learn 26 letters of the alphabet and complex grammar that you can also learn 12 notes and some logic concepts that exist in music. I would also say, because I often see that especially guitar players, especially in metal, are a little bit afraid of theory because they think that more knowledge, basically, will be harmful to their creativity. I think it's very important to get rid of that thought. Because that's definitely not going to happen. If you work with a teacher, I would say to listen to what your teacher says. Don't get bored immediately when you have to learn open chords, or how a C major scale works, because these are just the first steps someone has to take in order to understand more complex theory later on.
TZ: That's great. Do you think that beginner guitar students are underestimating the importance of music theory, and what learning theory can do for them?
CM: Yes, I totally think so. I'm a guitar teacher so I see it very often. From my experience, this is almost always the case. I think that comes from the fact that one can get faster success in the beginning, when reading and memorizing numbers with tablature, which is an easy system that everyone can work with and which is simple to understand. Of course, in the beginning you want fast success.
Usually when starting to learn an instrument, people just want to jam along to their favorite songs. On guitar, you do not need theory in order to do that which is probably, I think, one of the only melodic instruments where that is the case. If you play piano or saxophone or anything you have to learn the notes first, before you can play any tune, before you can understand how to play any actual music. On the guitar, that's different.
That's why I think guitar players in general underestimate that. Then later on, when the time comes to write their own music or to expand their improvisational ability beyond simple minor, pentatonic box shapes, for example, then they figure it's getting very difficult to understand when all the basics are missing.
TZ: I guess it's pretty important for you to know all your fret-board, like all the notes of the scales, arpeggios. How would you suggest a beginner to start learning how to orient themselves on the fret-board?
CM: I would say really, the good old fashioned way, as us guitar players learned in the 60s, 70s, or even the 80s. Start with learning the open position chords on the guitar as an acoustic player would first. Learn C major, G major, and D major chords so you know the open chord shapes. Many guitarists skip that very first step nowadays. I would say to learn how a C major scale works and where the half steps are.
It might be good also to be able to see it on a piano or a keyboard, to learn how a C major scale looks on the keyboard, that you know where the note C is and you can see the white keys in your head so you can understand logically where the half steps and where the whole steps would be. Then transfer it to the guitar by learning the notes on the two lower strings first so you are able to name your power chords, for example, if you are a rock or metal player. Then learn how major and minor triads are constructed from a scale and try to see those notes in the open chord shapes that you just learned. Then I would say to just learn chord progressions and learn transposing them in different keys and so on.
Then you can move on to more complex theory. Make sure you get your basics covered before you move on to advanced concepts. I think there is no point in trying to understand modes or improvisation concepts when you don't know the basic major and minor keys and chords.
TZ: Definitely. When you compose, do you compose on the guitar, or do you use other instruments, or do you compose in your mind away from any instruments?
CM: Sometimes I compose in my mind, but that's more like a structure of something, like if I already have a couple of ideas and I'm somewhere else, like on vacation and I don't have a guitar with me. I start to think about how I could structure some of the ideas that I already have. Basically when it's really about creating new ideas, I almost exclusively start on the guitar and I either record those first ideas and then record maybe the harmonies or a second guitar part to it.
Sometimes I move on to straight to Guitar Pro, which I use a lot nowadays to write and arrange the other instruments. It's easier because then I can write drum patterns and then write a bass line for it maybe, or a keyboard layer so I can hear what the whole thing would sound like.
There are also a couple of occasions where I wrote complete parts or progressions on a piano or a keyboard. I'm not a great player on the keys by any means, but I know how it works. Sometimes it's easier for me to see or hear chords or melodies or to try more complex harmonic concepts on a keyboard, where I can basically have layers and play a melody and the chord at the same time. There are a couple of parts on my first solo record which I actually wrote on a keyboard first, but I would say 90% of the time I start on the guitar.
TZ: How do you use your knowledge of music theory in your composition, in a way that liberates your creativity as opposed to restricting it?
CM: Usually I want to set a goal to where an idea is headed. As a musician you want to express emotions or create pictures. Basically, my knowledge of tonality is like my vocabulary to create sentences and chapters, which I would say are the riffs, if you compare language and music to tell a story, just a complete song.
To express it very simply, if I want to create something that sounds very haunting and dark, for example, I know that I won't get there with writing a diatonic C major progression, for example. In that case, I would probably use my knowledge of more symmetrical scales or exotic scales that are not so common to create darker sounding riffs or chord progressions.
Or, I could even abandon all of that and just use my knowledge of intervals and say, "Okay, don't write with any harmonic concept in mind, but I want it to sound dark." I know that certain intervals sound darker than others, for example. I would say even though what's very important that when you know a lot of theory, you can apply it for writing, but in order not to let it restrict you it's important. Sometimes I would even use a riff with a couple of notes that do not fit into any harmonic system or scale that I know because I think it sounds good. Then I would also use it.
I always say to people, the theory and the harmonic knowledge are tools to create music. It's not rules that should be restricting. For example, if one knows the modes and knows which mode has which sound color and which characteristic, and you want to express a certain color and emotion, you know you can do that with that interval structure. Then you have easier access to things that you would otherwise have to search for a long time, and then probably not even discover the way they are.
Basically, when I write something I basically know what kind of emotion or picture I want to express, and then I know how to get there. For example, if I know I want it to sound very Baroque or Neo-classical, I know how to create chord progressions which have that sound. I could use, for example, secondary dominants, or I could modulate keys in order to get progressions which have that kind of sound.
So, basically, I would say for me, I use theory as tools to liberate my ideas, but not as rules that would restrict me from using ideas that do not fit into any existing concept or pattern.
TZ: Many of our readers look up to you as a guitar hero, essentially. I also have a few students myself, who mentioned you when they were starting taking lessons with me. What would you say to someone who aspires to play like you but is intimidated by the level of theory he has to master?
CM: I would say that there's no reason to be intimidated. Because, basically, it's not a complex as many other tasks in real life. It's definitely not more complicated than, let's say, to learn a different language. Or also, it's not more complex than learning advanced techniques on the guitar. This is something you see a lot of players do when they play the craziest, most difficult stuff, like seven-string sweeps, eight finger tapping, fast alternating picking licks. I think if you can do that stuff, there's no reason to be intimidated by certain concepts, which may seem a little bit complex at first
That's why I would say it's very important, if someone has a practice schedule, to make also room for also theoretical aspects. That it's definitely possible to learn it in the same way that is possible to learn and master guitar technique. I don't think it's something that only a few people can learn. I think it's something that everyone has the ability to learn, if you focus on it hard enough.
TZ: Good. Now, how has music theory helped you learn other aspects of guitar playing faster or better?
CM: Basically, I learned theory right from the beginning, as I learned to play guitar. Right from the beginning I learned the chords and the notes. Very early on I learned to see the notes on the fret-board. Then when I learned to understand keys, for example, how certain keys work. In the beginning, for example, when I was playing in a cover band and I had to figure out songs by ear for the set list. As soon as I know about the keys, I knew that it couldn't be any other notes. I would know, "Okay, the song is in that key", so it was easier for me to know instantly which chords would appear in a progression, which notes would be in there and which would not. Obviously, you can learn simple rock songs or pop songs or simple heavy metal songs, a lot of diatonic stuff.
In the beginning, if you know your keys and your ear has not developed that well. Yet, it's still quite easy to figure out how some of those songs work. You know your three major and your three minor chords in a certain key, for example. That was in the very early days. It already helped me figure songs out on my own. Later on, it helped me a lot, also,when I learned other songs to understand the compositions better of other people, of course. Also, when I'm soloing, when I'm writing solos or improvising solos. It helps me a lot to see and navigate through the fret-board a lot faster, for example.
I do a lot of tapping, for example, for my faster playing, for arpeggios and things like that. I always see the chord shapes on the guitar when I play. So instead of thinking too much about fret-board shapes or box patterns. I really see all the chords and the inversions on the fret-board and that helps me a lot to know instantly where certain notes of certain arpeggios will be.
It also helped me a lot to come up with ideas that I wouldn't have come up with otherwise. For example, I would study classical pieces like Bach, like some preludes or something. I would try to understand the chord progressions behind it and why they sound good. Basically, I think it really helped me in every aspect of guitar playing. Even in the beginning when I learned technique and I learned my legato or sweeping patterns, as soon as I knew what key it was in or what arpeggio it should be. It was very easy to see all the possible inversions on the guitar, for example. I think knowing all the theory also made me learn every other aspect of guitar a lot faster.
TZ: Speaking of composition, can you give us some practical tips on your composition or some writing process?
CM: Sure. It definitely depends on what I'm writing for, like what situation I'm writing for. If I'm writing a death metal song for Obscura, for example, if I write something for my own instrumental music. First of course I have to know what kind of song I want to write, what I want it to sound like. There is definitely difference if I want to write an A sounding, heavy metal, shred guitar song, a very dark sounding death metal song.
When I know where it's headed. For example, let's say I want to write something for Obscura, most of the time it's all about finding interesting chord progressions first, for me. Even, way before I start to create a riff or something, I mostly mess around with the acoustic guitar. It could be even while watching TV or in between guitar lessons. I try to find good, little bit more unconventional chord progressions, for example, which I later on try in the riffs. Even though in Obscura, no one really plays bigger chords, or something, most of the time. Most of our riffs still outline a chord progression but in single notes, many notes which are included in the chords, maybe some transition notes.
But very often, many songs that I write start with a chord progression first. Let's say, for example, I would pick two diatonic chords, like if I'm in the key of E minor for example, I would pick E minor and a B minor chord. Then I would maybe connect them with secondary dominants. I would go E minor, F-sharp 7, B minor, B7 for example. Then I might replace the F-sharp 7 with a G diminished until I get a nice sounding progression which makes sense for the ear but which is not too conventional or diatonic. Like something which is real unique.
Then from there I try to use those notes to create a certain single note riff maybe, from it. Once I have a really good riff, a really good idea that I like and I figure out the tempo of that, the BPM, I put on a metronome.
At first, I do as I do like in a business meeting, for example. I just do brainstorming. That means, just what comes to mind. Later on, I see, okay, which fits and which does not fit. Very often I use very theoretical approaches.
Most of my songs always have a certain idea that's maybe unique in that song that I do not use in any other song, for example. What's very important of course, is for us to to know what kind of song you want to write and what the ingredients are for that. What melodies you need to use for which kinds of songs. If you want to create a song that sounds like an '80s heavy metal guitar song, use a lot of us diatonic minor key stuff. If you want to create something that sounds more rock, you know that you have to create certain chord progressions with certain key changes, or things like that, to get that kind of sound.
So basically I know the ingredients for what I want to create, and then I basically go from there, often by setting a tempo. Also, very often I think, in order to write something that sounds good, it's also good to limit yourself. Sometimes, for example, if I run out of ideas and everything starts to sound the same, then I take a completely different approach from what I normally do
For example, when I was working with Ron Jarzombek, we did that one song together, and we used his twelve tones concept. There was note cluster, only two notes, so he said, "Take the note G and C sharp and make a riff out of that." Two notes. You can't use any of the other notes. Then you start to think differently. Because then I started to think, "Okay, I only have those two notes. The only thing I can do to make something interesting is use more advanced or complex rhythmic concepts that I wouldn't use otherwise." It forces you to think differently and to come up with things you wouldn't come up with otherwise.
Basically, writing with chord progressions is the same because you just have a progression of chords and this kind of limits the possibilities of what you can use. Then you have to create something within those limitations, which I think leads to something very often more original than when you can just use everything you have and everything is just trying out randomly. Because then, very often then everything will end up sounding very similar.
TZ: That's a great idea. In your songs, when you compose your songs, how do you structure the guitar parts in relation to other instruments? For instance, how do you make the guitar interact with the drums and the bass?
CM: Since I'm a guitar player and the music I write is very guitar dominated, it's mainly that the guitar carries the idea. Then the drums and the bass accompany that idea. Very often, I know what kind of drum beat I want to have for a certain idea. Does it have to be a blast beat or a slayer beat or mid-tempo, power metal kind of beat, or is it rhythmically more complex riff where the drums really accent or where the drums really double the accents of the guitar, for example? It's either a very common drum rhythm that is seen in other riffs and songs, or it's something that's very specific for that kind of rhythm. It's a very different drum groove from anything else. In that case, I would then, after I have the riff, I would compose the drums mostly in Guitar Pro to get an idea. Later on, the drummer might change it a little bit of course, but just to get the general idea of that riff across.
Then I use the bass mostly to connect that empty space between the guitar and the drums, for example. It could be that the bass just doubles the guitar riffs, but it could also be that it's a more simplified version. Or it could be that I just have a chord progression and a nice drum groove and the guitar might just be holding the chords and then I would write an eight note bass line, for example, to outline the progression a little bit more with its own character. Usually when I write something, I at least have only the drum line in mind, at least, approximately.
Of course, I don't write fills or things like that which are very individual for a drummer, but I have a general idea what kind of drum pattern I want to have under the riff. I mostly instantly hear it in my head when I write a riff. I instantly hear what it would sound like with the drums. I then write the drums and then, as I said, use the bass to connect the empty space. There, I still leave a lot of freedom for the bass player and the drummer for later on.
I mean, I think a drummer or a real bass player, they have better ideas usually for that kind of stuff than a guitar player has. My ideas for the drums and the bass then they are just very general. I say, okay, this has to be a fast beat or a slayer beat or a double bass power metal beat or something, but all the details I leave up to the drummer and the bass player mostly.
TZ: I see. I see. I have one last question for you. Are you skills, your knowledge, your experience of today in perfect alignment with the vision you created for yourself when you started out and if you are doing exactly what you imagined? Or in a sense, life as a musician is different than what you were thinking of?
CM: It's definitely a little bit different in the sense that when I started out in the beginning, the music I listened to was a lot more simple than what I'm doing now. I started with old bands like AC/DC and Iron Maiden and I was like, "Hey, if I ever manage to play something like that, then I will be happy." Of course, the more you learn and the more you grow as a musician, the more you start to seek out more advanced and complex music. Of course, this does not stop. To this day, this keeps going on.
I think the more you learn as a player, the more you know and see what you can't do yet. So, even though I think I can do a lot more now than I ever thought was possible when I started out to play, I see a lot more things that I can't do, than I was aware of when I was younger. But still, I think in terms of composition and knowledge, I think I'm very happy with where I am. I think, in that sense I'm able to express myself freely.
Technically, not so much, because I have a disorder on my left hand which is called focal dystonia which is like a lack of independence between my index and my middle finger. Basically, my technical abilities are a little bit limited by that and are not probably what they could be if I did not have that. So, I would say in terms of my motor skills, because of this disorder, I'm not exactly where I would like to be because I often have to find different ways to play things, that people which four functioning fingers could play more easily.
So, this is basically the thing, but in terms of composition and theory and all that, I think I'm very happy with where I am because I either have the tools to express what I want to express. Or if not, I have enough knowledge to be able to learn and understand something that's out of my comprehension for now. I think in that sense, I'm very happy with where things are now. That does not mean that it's going to stop. It does not mean that I stop learning from here. For the things I want to do now, except for the motor problem I mentioned, I'm very happy with where I am. It's pretty close to the goal that I set when I discovered more advanced music and playing, in my teens.
TZ: That's great. Thank you, Christian, for sharing all of your knowledge with us. I'm sure that all our readers will be really happy reading your answers which are actually really helpful.
CM: Okay. Thank you very much for the opportunity. I enjoyed it a lot.
TZ: Thank you, Christian.

ses has skyrocketed!
Blockchain technology, which started as a means to send money from person A to person B, as designed by the still unknown Satoshi Nakamoto, has quickly become the hottest technol of the keyword “blockchain” will show you the level of public interest on the topic over the last 5 years.
According to the graph, it looks like the interest peaked around 2017, however, it is pretty evident that the interest will peak again once the market goes up.
Cryptocurrency Going Mainstream
Thanks mainly to Bitcoin and Ethereum, cryptocurrencies have become part of the general zeitgeist. They have opened up people’s minds to the possibilities of the blockchain technology. Not only are there multiple blockchain companies with billions of dollars invested in them, turns out that there are many big companies who have started toying with the idea of incorporating the blockchain into their system.
Let’s check out some stats which will give you a good idea for the demand of blockchain technologies.
The graph above gives you a good idea of how much money the ICOs have raised over the years. What we want you to look at is the amount by which ICO funding has increased year after year.
In 2016 ICOs managed to raise $252 million. However, in 2017, ICOs raised nearly $7 billion and almost double of that in the first half of 2018 alone.
Blockchain Courses: What do these numbers tell us?
There is a huge demand for investment opportunities in the blockchain space. Turns out, that because there is so much money in the space, the sheer number of jobs available is pretty big as well. In fact, check out this stat by Angel.co.
The number of listings by crypto companies have nearly doubled in 6 months.
Tony Zerucha at Bankless Times did an analysis of the surge of blockchain and bitcoin-related jobs in the job portal Indeed’s website. This is what he found:
Since November 2015 Indeed has seen a 1,065% growth in searches for jobs mentioning “blockchain,” “bitcoin” or “cryptocurrency” on the company’s job search site.
Job searches on Indeed mentioning “blockchain,” “bitcoin,” or “cryptocurrency” increased by 621% since November 2015.
The following graph shows both the growth of job seeker interest in jobs with these keywords and the growth of job postings for jobs with these keywords for that time period.
The meteoric rise of blockchain technology has led to a severe shortage of skilled blockchain developers. Towards the end of 2016, blockchain developer Jeff Garzik told Bloomberg that there were only about 250 true blockchain experts in the world. The current shortage means that knowledgeable blockchain developers can command high salaries for their work. The Wall Street Journal reported that some developers are receiving offers of up to $250,000 at-large financial institutions.
Even now, the demand for cryptocurrency jobs is as high as before. LinkedIn, the popular business social network, has seen the number of blockchain-related postings nearly triple in 2017.
Scott Bittle of Burning Glass Technologies, a job-data analytics firm which found a 115% increase from 2017 in postings for blockchain developers, notes:
“Because of its connection with ‘cryptocurrencies,’ blockchain is associated with finance; and major banks like Liberty Mutual, Capital One, and Bank of America have posted openings. But the demand for blockchain is much broader,” he notes, “including major consulting firms like Accenture and Deloitte and technology companies like IBM and SAP. This is additional evidence that the business world is starting to take blockchain seriously.”
Blockchain Courses: Filling the Gap
In order to meet this rising demand, the next obvious step to take is to have sources which can actually train high-quality blockchain developers.
The job market is struggling to keep up with the sudden demand for blockchain developers. Because of the low supply and high demands, good quality developers can net a very sizeable income.
According to Bitcoin pioneer Jered Kenna, experienced blockchain professionals can net over $200,000 USD in annual income.
So, how exactly do you feed this machine?
Some universities and private companies have responded by offering a range of blockchain-related courses in an attempt to meet the needs of the industry. Turns out, that along with educating enough people to meet this demand, there are other reasons why it works in the favor of these universities and private companies to offer these courses.
Blockchain technology is still in its infancy. This presents the universities a unique opportunity to become first-comers in the blockchain education field.Universities have the chance to get their names associated with “blockchain” the same way Harvard has gotten associated with “law” and MIT with “engineering.” Positioning oneself to be the dominant player in a space is something that any university would want to do.
We are on the verge of entering the era of third-generation blockchains. Blockchains like Cardano, ICON, AION identify as the third generation. One of their most fundamental goals is achieving interoperability. In layman’s terms, it will enable interaction among various blockchains AND legacy companies. This is the reason why many people realized that blockchain training is just not relevant for blockchain developers exclusively. “Normal” employees should also train themselves in it to make sure that they don’t lose any ground as we move on to the next phase of our evolution.
Types of Blockchain Courses
There are a couple ways how blockchain courses can be taught by various educational institutes:
A full-blown university degree
Study at your own pace Blockchain courses
A Blockdegree
Online Accelerator Program
There are plenty of advantages that certification has over degrees:
Shorter: An average certification course may last from anywhere around 6 months to 2 years. In some cases, it can be even shorter than that. A degree, on the other hand, will last minimum 2 years.
Easily available: Most certifications are easily available online and can be done at your own time, pace, and location. However, degrees may require you to join classes, and follow the universities schedule.
More focused: Certifications are more subject centric than degrees. Eg. if you are doing a certification on C++ programming then you are just going to learn C++. However, if you are doing a degree on Computer Science then you may even need to take up Environmental Studies or Mathematics for a semester.
Cheaper: Obviously since certifications last for a shorter time, they are a lot cheaper than degrees.
Less age restrictive: Usually college going students or people in their late teens to mid 20’s opt for degrees. However, people from all walks of life and age groups apply for certification because of the flexibility it provides schedule and location wise.
According to The Washington Post, the number of people who hold post-baccalaureate certificates has increased significantly. Here are some of the numbers:
Nearly 51,000 people earned the credential in 2010, a 46 percent increase in five years.
For men, having certification adds a 25% to their income.
For women, it is a 13% addition to their income, but that’s mostly because they were largely in less technical fields.
According to research from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, about 3 percent of the workforce i.e. 4 million workers have certificates.

NEW DELHI, India
At least 13 members from five Rohingya families in India were manhandled and detained by local police at the northern state of Haryana on Wednesday, local camp leaders said on Wednesday.
Nuh district, about 100 kilometers (62.13 miles) from Delhi, has about 1,500 refugees living in two camps. The 13 detained Rohingya, five of them women and one senior member, include nine from Chandeni village camp and another four from the nearby Nangli camp.
“Even 10-12 of those who showed valid refugee cards were brutally beaten up. We have been told that there will be another checking tomorrow, and thus many who have been waiting for their cards to be issued have decided to run away in this cold weather,” said a Chandeni camp community leader on the condition of anonymity.
In a video released by the refugees, policemen are seeing conducting raids at the camps and roughing up those who failed to show valid identity cards.
The leader also confirmed that due to these arbitrary detentions and assaults, over 400 refugees have gone missing from the camps over the last year. Most of them ran away in the middle of the night out of fear.
He noted that the issuance of refugee cards by non-governmental organization faced delays due to the pandemic. “This had led to torture and assaults becoming a norm,” he said.
Local authorities, however, called the raid a routine check before the upcoming Republic day on Jan. 26.
“Every year we check refugee camps and hotels in the area for the presence of anti-social elements. The raid in the area was to make sure that the region is clear of foreign elements. These detained people missed to show their cards,” said Ram Avtaar, a local police constable.
Last week, Delhi police had detained eight Rohingya after they failed to show valid documents. All, including three minors, were sent to the detention center, the deputy commissioner of police told media.
Ali Johar, a Rohingya youth leader, said over 3,000 refugees in India have gone to live in Bangladesh, despite the risk of crossing the border, to avoid getting deported by the Indian government to Myanmar.
“Bangladesh is now providing Rohingya with decent health care and education. Most community members fear deportation and would prefer dying than going back. The Indian government has been vocal about deportation and thus the community lives in fear,” added Johar.
While UNHCR has provided refugees card to half of the refugees from Myanmar, India does not recognize their cards, since it is not a signatory to the UN Convention on Refugees.
Since the new citizenship law and the additional complexities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rohingya refugees, most of whom worked in the unorganized sector in India, have lost their jobs and are forced to live in poverty and hunger.
- Persecuted people
According to Amnesty International, more than 750,000 Rohingya refugees, mostly women and children, fled Myanmar and crossed into Bangladesh after Myanmar forces launched a crackdown on the minority Muslim community in August 2017.
Since Aug. 25, 2017, nearly 24,000 Rohingya Muslims have been killed by Myanmar’s state forces, according to a report by the Ontario International Development Agency (OIDA).
More than 34,000 Rohingya were thrown into fires, over 114,000 more were beaten, and as many as 18,000 Rohingya women and girls were raped by Myanmar’s army and police, said the OIDA report, titled Forced Migration of Rohingya: The Untold Experience.
Over 115,000 Rohingya homes were burned and 113,000 others vandalized, the report added.

Managing garden pests with pollinators in mind
0
By Jason B. Na on July 1, 2022 Plant garden
Each garden season is filled with beautiful and tasty surprises accompanied by some challenges. A challenge gardeners face every year is managing insect pests while protecting pollinators. Fortunately, only a very small percentage of insects in our landscapes are pests. Others help pollinate plants, feed on or parasitize bad insects, or help break down plant debris.
Proper identification of the culprit that is damaging plants is the first step in managing problems. Often the most visible insect is not the one causing the damage. You can find a lot of useful information and images online. Look for websites hosted by your local university, extension service, or botanical garden. They often provide timely advice on pests in your area.
Once identified, you will need to decide if a check is necessary. Some insect damage is only cosmetic, which means that the health and longevity of the plant is not affected, but it looks bad. In these cases, the control is not for us the health of our plants. Consider tolerating damage and masking it with nearby plantings or garden artwork.
In other cases, the damage is done and the insect is no longer present. Revenge spray may help you feel better, but it does nothing to solve the problem. Make a note on next year’s schedule to monitor and manage the pest if you think control is really needed. Early detection of pest problems makes hand removal easy and may be all you need.
Often when we see the damage on our plants, control will not help. Many galls, unusual growths on plants, are caused by insect feeding. When we see the gall, either the insect is living safely inside the gall or it has escaped to complete another stage of its life. At this point the control will not work and in most cases this is a cosmetic issue and the control is not required.
Work with nature to help manage pest problems. By tolerating certain damage, you provide the food that attracts nature’s pest controllers to the garden. Watch for aphid-eating ladybugs and green lacewings, which eat hundreds of these pests every day. Invite songbirds into your landscape with seed and berry-producing plants and a source of clean, fresh water. Ninety-six percent of land birds feed their young insects. And then there are those non-stinging parasitic wasps that lay their eggs in other insects. When the eggs hatch, the young feed on the host. Avoid pesticides and provide water and shelter to attract and support insectivorous toads and frogs.
Ask for help from the young people in your life. Try the pluck, drop and stomp method. Teach young gardeners to identify problem insects, pick them by hand, drop them to the ground, and stomp on them. What a great way to teach kids about nature and help them burn off some of their excess energy.
Hand picking or knocking insects like Japanese beetles into a box of soapy water is a great way to manage small pest populations. A fellow horticulturist uses a small hand-held vacuum to capture Japanese beetles. Just be sure to empty the contents of the bug-filled vacuum into a can of soapy water before storing.
If you decide you need to give nature a helping hand to manage garden pests, look for more eco-friendly options. Floating cover barriers – fabrics that allow air, light and water to pass through – can prevent cabbage worms, onion maggots, Japanese beetles and some other insects from laying their eggs on their plants favourites. Cover the plants with the fabric when planting, anchor the edges and leave enough slack for the plants to grow. No construction is required.
Covering squash plants at planting until flowering begins can help reduce the risk of squash bugs and vine borers. Covering cucumbers at planting for up to ten days after flowering begins helps reduce the risk of cucumber beetles infecting these plants with the bacteria that causes wilt. Row covers also prevent birds from eating on seeds and seedlings.
Cover late plantings of susceptible plants as needed this season. Then mark on next year’s calendar to enlist this method of controlling these types of pests for your first planting next year.
Use the natural soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to protect plants from certain pests. Different strains of this bacterium control different insects. Bt kurstaki only kills true caterpillars. Using it on members of the cabbage family will not harm other butterflies since these plants only attract cabbage worms. Bt galleriae will control Japanese and other beetles.
Use a strong stream of water to dislodge mites and aphids. These pests suck plant sap and secrete a clear, sticky substance called honeydew. Intensive feeding can cause distorted growth, speckling, yellowing and browning of leaves.
If more control is needed, seek help from one of the organic contact insecticides like Summit Year-Round Spray Oil, a light horticultural oil. These products kill the insects they come in contact with but leave no residue on the plants that could harm beneficial insects that later visit the plants.
Whenever you use any product, even natural and organic, be sure to read and follow the directions on the label. This will ensure the best control and the least negative impact on beneficial insects and the environment.
Take some notes on the pests you encounter, the management strategies used, and the results. This will help you when you encounter problems in the future. With a minimum of time and a little creativity, you can keep your garden looking its best all season long.

, in a brutal operation that has left thousands homeless.
The Rivers State government has ordered that "Agip Waterside" -- a riverfront community in the sprawling osts said.
Bulldozers fitted with mechanical claws, and protected by police and troops armed with assault rifles, tore through hundreds of hundreds of wood and concrete block homes and destroyed a church which had been used as a shelter for the area's pregnant and nursing mothers.
"We have complained to the government but there seems to be nothing we can do, nothing we can do," said Reverend Lekia Gbosi of the Ascension Apostolic Church, where until Wednesday he had been sheltering 28 children, their mothers and ten pregnant women in his church.
His fellow pastor Saro Meelubari John said children had still been in the long, yellow-painted clay-brick structure when the demolition began, and witnesses said that police had beaten back bystanders with whips.
Demolition began at Agip Waterside in February this year, but was halted after local rights activists protested.
Residents began to return and to rebuild their lives on a long strip of land between the mangrove swamp and Agip's boundary fence in a community which has been growing since 1988 without any complaint from the authorities.
On Tuesday, the demolition crews were back with a vengeance, tearing down the buildings even as residents glumly struggled to salvage what they could of the possessions lying broken among the rubble.
"This is what we suffer in Nigeria," sighed 48-year-old Michael Kamza, a civil servant and a member of the minority Ogoni community, as he told a reporter how his meagre household goods -- a bed and a television -- had been destroyed in the rubble of his home. "I'm going back to Ogoni," he said.
Nearby, 73-year-old N.K. Akari sat under a table on a straw sleeping mat, all that was left of his ruined life. "I will stay here until it rains, and then I will find my way," he said. Where will he go? "Nowhere," he admitted.
Residents angrily denied that they had been compensated or even warned of the impending demolition.
Port Harcourt is the largest city in the Niger Delta and the centre for Nigeria's multimillion dollar oil industry. Poor job-seekers from across the region have crowded into the city hoping to make their fortunes, but the vast majority live in poverty and with uncertain property rights.
Some activists and residents in Agip Waterside suspect that the demolition has been ordered to allow Italian oil giant to expand its base in the city, but the firm insisted that it had nothing to do with the demolition.
"We are not aware of any demolition of homes near our headquarters in Port Harcourt. If any demolition is taking place, it is not to our knowledge and we have no hand in it," said Agip's spokesman in Nigeria, Tajudeen Adigun.
Rivers State officials did not respond to calls for comment and a spokeswoman for the state police command denied any knowledge of the operation.
On Saturday, a gang of thugs invaded the community and killed a local man. His body was still lying by the roadside on Wednesday. Local people believe the corpse was left as a warning from the state government that they should go.
Two members of a television documentary crew from the Australian Broadcast Corporation (ABC) were arrested after they asked police if they could film the demolition. They were later released with apologies, one of the crew said.
"The demolition is being carried out without any alternative provision being made for the accommodation of the people," said Anyakwee Nsirimovu, of the Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, a local pressure group.
"These people are just walking around with their luggage, without any hope. We're talking about thousands of people."

Colorado property owned by Russian oligarch Abramovich in limbo as U.S. sanctions loom
Squawk Box
A Rocky Mountain mansion owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich would likely be among the first assets frozen by the U.S. government if he is sanctioned by the White House in response to the war in Ukraine, according to attorneys and real estate executives.
Among Abramovich's many global real estate tropteam and giant homes in London, France and St. Bart's gave him a high profile in the West, bought the property in 2008 for $36.5 million. Local brokers say the property would likely sell for well over $50 million given soaring prices — making it the second mosSaslove & Warwick at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. "A lot of my clients have been asking about it."
Abramovich also owns a 5,500-square-foot chalet-style home in Snowmass Village, which he purchased in 2008 for $11.8 million, according to local property records. The property, just down the road from his bigger home, likely serves as a guest house, caretaker's house or ski house, since it's next to the slopes, local brokers say.
Experts say the properties are prime targets for an asset freeze if Abramovich is sanctioned. Unlike most oligarch-owned real estate in the U.S., the Snowmass properties were both purchased and remain in Abramovich's name, according to local property records. The government can more easily and quickly seize assets that are under the official ownership of a sanctioned individual, since they don't have to go through legal procedures to determine ownership.

Most U.S. real estate owned by Russian billionaires and oligarchs is held through anonymous shell companies or LLCs to hide their true ownership. Many oligarchs also transferred their U.S. properties in recent years to relatives or associates. Oleg Deripaska has transferred his U.S. real estate, including two townhouses in Manhattan and a home in Washington, D.C., to relatives. Abramovich transferred ownership of three Manhattan townhouses to his ex-wife Dasha Zhukova in 2018.
Abramovich has been sanctioned in the U.K. and Canada but not in the European Union or the U.S. The White House is currently weighing whether to include Abramovich in its next round of sanctions, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Abramovich's spokesperson couldn't be reached for comment. A Denver attorney, Brad Schacht, who represented Abramovich in a lawsuit against Comcast Cable stemming from a fiber-optic project on the property, didn't respond to a request for comment.
The threat of a Justice Department seizure has already sparked widespread speculation and intrigue in Aspen, a small town with outsized wealth and super-sized homes. Wal-Mart heiress Ann Walton Kroenke, L Brands founder Leslie Wexner, food-and-beverage magnates Stuart and Linda Resnick own homes there, along with Jeff Bezos' parents and media tycoon Byron Allen. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are longtime Aspenites, and the Kardashians, Kate Hudson and Kevin Hart are among the parade of regular Hollywood visitors.
Locals say Abramovich used to have a higher profile in town, hosting a New Year's Eve party in 2008 featuring the Pussycat Dolls. He has also given to local charity, with his name listed prominently as a donor on the side of the Chabad of Aspen. Local property tax records show he was recently billed $68,000 in property taxes for the big house and $29,000 for the smaller property.
Over the past decade, however, Abramovich has stayed out of the local limelight. Local business owners and residents say he rarely if ever visits. The property is ideally suited for privacy, surrounded by 200 acres at the end of a remote, narrow mountain road with only one other home. Abramovich could easily make the 15-minute drive from his private jet and stay in his house without any public scrutiny, locals say.
"That house is very private and removed," real estate broker Warwick said. "He could easily slip in and out without anyone noticing."
The home is well known in architectural circles and was designed by New York-based Voorsanger Architects. Perched nearly 1,000 feet above Snowmass Village, it rises like a giant glass wedge along Wildcat Ridge. Its steel folded-plate roof, which looks like a giant wing, was designed for heavy snow loads and cantilevers 40-feet over the driveway.
Inside, the home is clad in sleek black walnut with floor-to-ceiling windows offering dramatic views of Capitol Peak, Mount Daly, the Roaring Fork Valley and Aspen. A 12-foot-tall moss-rock wall divides the east and west wings. Brokers say Abramovich added millions of dollars worth of improvements to the home, including space underground.
If Abramovich is sanctioned, the U.S. Justice Department's new KleptoCapture Task Force would likely be able to freeze the property, but not seize it or take ownership. Sanctions experts say the only way the government can take title is if they can prove Abramovich has committed a U.S. crime.
Meantime, potential wealthy buyers are already circling. Like many ultra-rich towns after the pandemic, Aspen has a shortage of luxury homes for sale, with far more buyers than sellers. Supply of single-family homes in Aspen is down 60% from a year ago, according to Douglas Elliman Real Estate. The average sale price of a home in Aspen is now a record $13 million.
"A lot of my clients are asking what the status of the home is, and whether it's been frozen," Warwick said. "There has been no information."
Warwick said brokers hungry for listings have also likely been reaching out to Abramovich to get him to sell.
"He's not the easiest guy to get a hold of right now," he said. "But I wouldn't be surprised if lots of brokers are trying."

Lost in Random review: A lukewarm tale
admin
September 19, 2021

SaveSavedRemoved 0
Lost in Random is a compelling homage to the works of Tim Burton and films from studio Laika. It’s easily comparable to The Nightmare Before Christmas or Coraline. Any fans of woeful fairy tales and stop-motion animation are sure to find something to like within the twisted world of Random. This is where the game excels; its grim yet humorous interactions, dark atmosphere, and eccentric environments coalesce into a wicked world that inspires the desire to explore.
Unfortunately, Lost in Random is also mechanically underwhelming. Combining an action RPG, card game and board game is a unique concept, but it lacks polish. There’s a few poorly realized board game gimmicks, a janky aiming system, and a lack of fresh enemy designs. The combat is competent enough to be fun, as the game boasts some memorable boss fights and encounters, but it gets frustrating.
The omission of platforming feels like an oversight — jumping puzzles and challenges would’ve been perfect for a game like Lost in Random. Additionally, the few puzzles that do exist are so easy that they might as well not be there, and the first half of the game is overwhelmed by dialogue that almost put me to sleep. I wouldn’t rank Lost in Random among the best PC games around.
Even’s journey
Lost in Random opens with two little girls, Even and Odd, playing a pretend game of dice with their friends. Amid an argument of who belongs to which society, the group hears the wicked sounds of Nanny Fortuna, a sinister servant of the wicked queen, plotting to kidnap another child. The two run home and hide in their basement shortly before a mechanical spider-like monster breaks in and steals Odd. It’s the girl’s 12th birthday, which means she’ll have her fate decided for her by a magical dice.

Odd tosses the special dice and it lands on a one, which would normally mean that she gets to remain in her beloved home of Onecroft. However, a mysterious force pushes it to a six, meaning Odd is destined to live up in the palace with the Queen of Random. She’s quickly taken away, and the two sisters are now completely separated.
One year later, Even is guided outside her home by a ghost-like entity which resembles her sister. After following this spectre for a short while, she finds the toy she had given Odd on the night she was abducted. And with this revelation, Even knew she had to save her sister. She runs away from home and stows away on a boat that takes her outside of her town. Shortly after, Even meets a magical dice, named Dicey, that gives her the ability to call upon powerful cards. The girl is now a Dice Wielder, and she goes on a quest to defeat the wicked queen.
Lost in Random’s story is most compelling due to its characters. Everyone you meet in the world of Random has something to say, which is both a boon and a fault. On one hand, there’s plenty of amusing dialogue, intriguing world-building, and likable personalities, but there’s also an absurd amount of talking. Half of my time in the world of Random was spent conversing with the game’s NPCs. It’s usually entertaining, but there are plenty of moments where it feels redundant, information is repeated, or jokes just don’t land.
(Image credit: Zoink)
Thankfully, the narrative itself is engaging. Even experiences an emotional arc when she realizes that attempting to topple the queen’s totalitarian rule is futile. While she’s full of courage, Even is still just a kid. Katey Parr does an excellent job translating the sorrow and fear of an eleven-year-old girl: there’s no more bravery and no more hope, just a child who wants to go home.
I was also impressed by the nature of certain dialogue choices. When I met with the Count of Threedom, I had to retrieve a specific item in his possession. I made him aware that I needed it, but he claimed he would send me on a quest to find something else first. While I did listen to his request, I was presented with the option to ask if I could just have the item I came for. He promptly said “no,” but I was able to keep pushing, so I did.
After a while, the game gave me an option to threaten to assassinate him. He scolded me, claiming that murder wasn’t something I should joke about. Finally, the last option let me tell him that I wasn’t joking — he was shocked, and out of a fear for his life, he gave me the item I came for. I completely bypassed his quest and just took the item from him by picking a certain tree of dialogue choices. This brought a gigantic smile to my face; moments like these are what make Lost in Random magical.
Cards? Boards? Swords?
Lost in Random’s combat system combines elements of an action RPG, card game and board game. When a battle begins, players shoot crystals growing out of foes with their slingshot and collect the fallen shards with Dicey. When around four or five shards have been picked up, the player passively draws a card.
After at least one card has been drawn, the player can enter a plane that freezes time to select from whatever’s in their hand, with a maximum of five cards drawn at once. Simultaneously, Dicey is automatically rolled, and this result determines how many tokens you can spend in battle. Every card has an associated cost, ranging anywhere from 0 to 3. Each of the 34 cards in the game have different uses. Some provide a powerful weapon to slay foes, a health potion, or an ability to swap your slingshot out for a strong bow.
(Image credit: Zoink)
Dodging enemies, placing bombs and whacking them with a sword or mace is a jolly good time. Balancing the need to stay defensive while collecting crystals and then having a brief moment of supreme power where you can unleash your arsenal makes for an exciting dynamic.
But the combat’s most pressing problem involves the board game gimmick, which forces players to complete a different objective to win a battle. This takes away from the dynamic nature of combat and forces the player to fight a particular way depending on the circumstance.
One board game encounter has the player roll their dice to spawn a number of objects, and if the objects fall into the hole that’s sitting at the center of the arena, the player gets closer to winning. But to roll Dicey, the player needs to draw only one card. This caused me to spam the dice rolls, making the fight less than engaging.. It felt too exploitable and took away from the combat.
(Image credit: Zoink)
Another board game forced the player to deal damage against a boss only when their chess piece was at a specific spot on the field. It became a tedious back and forth of praying that my dice would land on the right number so I could proceed with the fight. There was no challenging element here; I was just waiting to win.
Even during standard encounters, the game gets repetitive quickly. There’s a slew of reused enemies that masquerade in reskinned textures with minor changes. Combat is at its most exciting when the player encounters a new boss or enemy type, but it doesn’t happen often enough.
However, I have to complain about the accuracy of ranged abilities. The bow and arrow will occasionally fly into a random direction when pointed at a creature. When selecting where Dicey can go, he sometimes traveled somewhere completely unrelated to where I was pointing.
A world worth exploring
Lost in Random shines most when the player is thrown headfirst into a new part of its dice-ruled world. Exploring the six sides of Random is satisfying, as each area is based upon a different idea and successfully maintains its own identity. To avoid spoilers, I won’t describe every main area in the game, but one in particular stood out as my favorite:
(Image credit: Zoink)
Threedom pits the three children of a dead father against one another in a struggle for power; each of them believes the others might be responsible for his death, so they all pilot giant robots in a futile war with each other. Threedom’s inhabitants are sick of it, as this petty squabble is causing meaningless destruction throughout highly populated areas.
In this world, the player runs through trenches, listens to haunting war stories from its poor inhabitants and must convince each of its rulers to stop their fighting. I’ll never forget the confusing non-linearity of its level design, as each new path I ran down would often lead me to an area I wasn’t even aware existed. It took me until close to the end to understand where I was going, and each part of this world provided a unique encounter, like conversing with the ghost of a dead little girl. I also convinced a cute little monster to not fight for any of the three rulers and instead battle for their own heart. Those are just a couple of Lost in Random’s memorable encounters.
(Image credit: Zoink)
Thanks to Lost in Random’s captivating gothic aesthetic, the game can be quite pretty. Wandering into Two-Town and witnessing abstract, spiraling buildings wrapping into themselves upon the backdrop of a full moon and blue night sky is one particularly gorgeous moment.
Why can’t I jump?
Movement in Lost in Random feels a bit stiff. The game focuses more on grounded movement rather than incorporating platforming elements. The player’s turning circle is drastically reduced while they’re sprinting, which adds unneeded heaviness to controlling Even that makes her feel like an SUV rather than an 11-year-old girl.
Additionally, the player cannot jump. In fact, the only airtime you’ll ever get is when you walk next to a ledge and press X to hop down a level. Lost in Random might feel more dynamic with the inclusion of platforming. An additional layer of verticality while exploring its world would make it all the more pleasant. Currently, all players do is run around and climb ladders.
(Image credit: Zoink)
Lost in Random reminds me most of Psychonauts and American McGee’s Alice, yet it completely lacks the maneuverability those games boast. It would have been clever if the game had a series of platforming puzzles that went beyond running around in a circle and stepping on pressure pads.
Gothic bugs
Lost in Random has a few bugs and poor design choices that lead to unnecessary frustration. For example, selecting the “Quit to Main Menu” option does not ask the player to confirm their choice. On two separate occasions, I accidentally quit an encounter and had to redo them.

Another annoyance is the inability to remove the game’s subtitles. This isn’t necessarily a big deal, but as someone who prefers to play without text on my screen, it was irksome. I also experienced a single crash while playing Lost in Random, and it was coincidentally during the longest board game level, which meant I had to do it over. Another bug made it so that I couldn’t talk to NPCs or open my map because the game believed I was in the middle of important dialogue. I had to leave the area to fix this bug.
Bottom Line
Lost in Random utilizes stop-motion inspired animation to illustrate an engaging gothic world. There’s plenty of excitement and sorrow throughout the cleverly crafted corners of Random, and thanks to a number of amusing characters, the script is equally witty.
However, Lost in Random is messy. Its combat shines on occasion, but thanks to a poorly realized board game gimmick and some janky base mechanics, it’s rarely as exciting as it should be. It’s also disappointing that there’s a complete omission of platforming, as Random appears to be a world that would greatly benefit from additional verticality in its level design.
Lost in Random doesn’t entirely deliver on its gameplay, but game developer Zoink has done well building the evocative aesthetic of this memorable world. If you’re a fan of films from Laika or Tim Burton, this experience is worth your time.

Roger Tomas is an Agent of Fitness for Major League Baseball

Consistency and steadiness are two of an important traits a Major League Baseball participant can possess.
Sure, the sport has advanced into extra of a energy and energy sport in latest many years. Pitchers throw more durable, dwelling runs are touring farther, and gamers bodily resemble NFL sturdy safeties whereas making freakishly athletic performs all around the discipline. But the nationwide pastime is nonetheless a nine-inning, three-hour-long sport, with a 162-game common season performed largely within the sizzling summer season months.
It’s a grind, and it requires a participant to roll with the punches and endure the recurring failures — like making an out on the plate at the least 65% of the time (the very best hitters in baseball bat within the low to mid .300s).
Young gamers, particularly, are prone to the ups and downs, the nice days and canine days of a Major League season. An enormous leaguer in his early to mid 20s wants an excellent help system to get by means of it efficiently and land a giant second or third contract that not solely adjustments his life however gives generational wealth for his household.
That help system consists of an agent, and one of the very best within the sport working with younger ballplayers is Roger Tomas. The film Jerry Maguire and TV collection Arli$$ made the life-style of an expert sports activities agent look glamorous day in and time out. But in actual life, it’s something however. It’s a grind, requiring fixed journey to see shoppers in several Major League cities and infrequently mentoring struggling gamers making an attempt to make it in a brand new nation (as of 2021, 28% of MLB gamers had been born exterior of the U.S.).
Just like a giant leaguer wants to coach for the grind of a protracted season, so too does his agent.
“With this lifestyle, I go to different cities all over the country for two weeks at a time or longer,” says Tomas, who presently lives within the Miami space and is an agent for the California-based company MVP Sports Group, which represents baseball superstars Manny Machado, Albert Pujols, and Joey Votto, amongst others. “It’s important for me to practice a healthy lifestyle to keep my immune system strong and feel good and energized despite all the travel. But also, if I’m explaining to my clients the importance of sleep, nutrition, and strength training for them as professional athletes, I need to practice what I preach.”
For Love of the Game
Tomas is the proper agent for a shopper roster of younger, culturally various gamers. Born within the Dominican Republic earlier than transferring to Miami as a toddler, many of his private shoppers additionally come from the Dominican (a hotbed for Major League expertise), together with Fernando Tatis Jr., of the San Diego Padres and the Houston Astros’ Cristian Javier.
Tomas additionally has a background as a participant, beginning over 200 video games for the University of Miami from 2004-2007. He was a sure-handed fielder at shortstop and third base for the Hurricanes and a profession .290s switch-hitter who not often struck out and sprayed the ball to all fields. Although by no means a giant dwelling run hitter (solely two in his school profession), Tomas racked up quite a few accolades at Miami, together with being named to the 2004 College World Series All-Tournament group after filling in at shortstop for future MLB celebrity Ryan Braun midseason as a result of an harm.
Tomas made a profession off doing the little issues extraordinarily effectively: taking walks, bunting runners over, stealing bases, posting an elite fielding share at a premium place, even enjoying harm when wanted. A traditional “small ball” participant, regular and constant.
“Honestly, [small ball] guys don’t always make a lot of money in the Majors, but 10, 20 years ago those were the types of guys that the industry at every level was looking for,” says the 35-year-old. “It was all about on-base percentage.”
After Miami, Tomas performed three seasons of minor league ball within the Detroit Tigers farm system earlier than retiring as a participant. Two years later, in 2011, he was an MLBPA-certified agent, his first big-league shopper being Paco Rodriguez, a left-handed pitcher for the Dodgers from 2012-2015.
“I just love the game of baseball,” says Tomas. “I love the whole aspect of teaching and being involved in competition. I enjoy the business side, too, like when you negotiate a big deal and see a family really happy. A lot of kids from South Florida come from very little, so when you see them sign for a million, two-and-a-half million bucks, it’s a special thing.”
Training Like a Professional
Tomas’ background as a participant and his Dominican roots helps him relate to his shoppers (although he represents a number of American-born gamers as effectively), however he additionally leads by instance. To assist face up to the occupational grind, Tomas works out six days per week at PER4ORM, an elite-level coaching facility in Davie, FL, the place a number of MVP Sports Group shoppers practice. (Tomas and MVP additionally refer gamers to Bommarito Performance Systems in Miami and Cressey Sports Performance in Palm Beach Gardens.)
While recognized nationally for its MLB and NFL clientele, together with NFL Draft Combine prep, PER4ORM additionally caters to non-professional athletes who wish to practice severely for higher motion and purposeful energy.
Tomas’ typical weekly schedule at PER4ORM is as follows: fast-paced lower-body circuits on Monday; standard upper-body lifting on Tuesday; full-body coaching on Wednesday; standard lower-body lifting on Thursday; upper-body circuits on Friday; and full-body coaching once more on Saturday.
When touring, he drops in at no matter well-equipped health club he can discover and has a PER4ORM coach ship him his exercise for the day electronically. Even although he’s not enjoying, getting in his coaching is as essential as ever now. Tomas believes within the energy of routine, largely as a result of he was recognized with Crohn’s Disease whereas in school.
“Back then, 16 or 17 years ago, they didn’t have the medication they have now, so I was constantly sick and going to the emergency room,” he says. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve changed my eating habits, and the medication has gotten better. More than anything, it’s taught me to have routines in my life.”
Routine Equals Success
Sticking to correct diet and coaching routines helps Tomas personally, however he continuously preaches it to his shoppers as effectively.
“Baseball is such a failure sport that when you fail one time, if you’re not mentally strong enough, it could make you spiral out of control,” says Tomas. “I always tell these guys, ‘When you have a routine that works, stick to it. It might not work 100% of the time, but that’s what’s going to give you the best chance of succeeding in games.’ What you don’t want is for a player to be changing what he does on a daily or weekly basis. That’s when things get very chaotic, and it becomes that much harder to get back into the zone of consistency.”
This reliance on routines may even result in success in areas exterior of sports activities, says Tomas: “I’m not just talking about baseball. This applies to if you want to be a doctor or own a business. Having a routine essentially just means getting organized. When you’re organized, you get a lot more accomplished during the day, and over time you’ll accomplish your goals and be successful that much faster.”

Each year the trust pays you or another named individual the same dollar amount you choose at the start. When the trust terminates, the remaining principal goes to YWCA USA as a lump sum.
A beneficiary designation clearly identifies how specific assets will be distributed after your death.
A charitable gift annuity involves a simple contract between you and YWCA USA where you agree to make a gift to YWCA USA and we, in return, agree to pay you (and someone else, if you choose) a fixed amount each year

You can disagree all you want but when they are pushing for cross play with the next gens to be across all hardware. They are going to have the frame rates and have M&K support. They are pushing to keep everyone in the same pool. Makes me wonder what you guys are going to do when that happens, never play video games again?
@Troubled-Cells is also right, you all have stated time and time again that you were done with this thread, some of you even suggested that it be closed but you keep coming back and keep replying. If you are done, then be done. If you aren't then stop saying you are.
Honestly though, what will happen once there is no more "opt out" and everything is cross play through everything? Would you seriously stop playing multiplayer games?

@xultanis-dragon no idea why hes constantly repeating that he disagrees.
I dont see it being that hes worried that if opposite opinions keep being voiced like they are, that they might get their way , just like the vocal minority he aligns with did?
Must go much deeper than that 😔
Input based matchmaking is definitely the superior method.

@troubled-cells
The only option is going to be input based in the future or nothing at all. Microsoft and Playstation talked about making the coding more in line with each other and with PC so that they can do cross play across the hardwares. They are pushing for it big time and because the gaming community has been begging for it.
Once the new gens are out with their new super specs the only opt out option that will make sense will be input since hardware separation won't make sense anymore, even though it didn't before as long as the game was optimized for it.

@tak225 said in [MEGA THREAD] Update 2.0.11 - Adventure Cross Play Opt Out Discussion & Feedback:
@xultanis-dragon Except CoD doesn't allow input based, only hardware. Which means M&K go against controllers in Xbox servers. So the term "every other platform" doesn't count does it?
Sounds like controller players in Warzone get weighted together during matchmaking, even if they are PC, so that servers are mostly full of controller players.

Call of Duty Warzone - The truth about controller on PC
COD Warzone does playing with a controller on PC give you an unfair advantage and put you in console lobbies? Let's do some tests and find od multiplayer where it's supposed to be input based matchmaking and countless times I have been matched with mouse and keyboard it's not 100% but I think cod has it working best with the input based matchmaking and opt outs in place although my understanding is Xbox players can't opt out on warzone which I think is bang out of order to be honest I think it would be great if you could choose what platforms you could be matched with only so I can exclude pc from my matchmaking pool the cheating by the pc mob has made warzone pretty bad getting better with modern warfare banning loads of users

@tak225 not being funny.
It's not like warzone is a £50 game or anything.
It's free to play.
Dont like the matchmaking ? Don't play the game that costs you nothing to do so in the first place, or pay for any micro transactions.
That's the only way you and anyone bothered by it can have any kind of impact on that choice.

@tak225 said in [MEGA THREAD] Update 2.0.11 - Adventure Cross Play Opt Out Discussion & Feedback:
game that has crossplay doesn't need to have an opt out. Your belief that it is mandatory or should be mandatory is your opinion and pure conjecture.
The game would have been fine, they could have worked on combat instead, but whatever.
Also not playing a game is a very good solution. Just like not going to a concert to a band you don't like, or not watching movies you don't like. Not doing something because you don't like it is a very good choice.

@troubled-cells well I have actually stopped playing the free version part of the game a game I would otherwise be playing if a opt out was available to Xbox players on warzone and how is it entitled just because it does not fit your rethoric I never asked for cross play on all these games I was fine playing with other console players only but unfortunately the industry is moving in this direcames and bad in others and I think any game that's free is at the mercy of cheaters of course your gonna disagree with me but I expect nothing else really the fact I don't like it in this game paints a impression of me that I deslike cross play when infact most games that have it i infact use it on but they should always provide the end users a choice to opt into cross play not ask for a opt out or have to quit a game they otherwise would have enjoyed because of the abscence of a opt out and Xbox in particular are the worst company infact to my knowledge being the only company not to give you a choice with Forza games I have no issue with cross play and opt out is abscent gears 5 can only opt out in ranked 😒 bleeding edge forced cross play but the type of game it is it's not too bad sea of thieves forced untill last year game has gotten much better for me and my crew and most players I know who opted out and i fear the will force cross play on halo infinite a franchise I very much enjoy that could be and probably will be ruined by forced cross play I have seen players and even summit 1g complaint about master chief collection and pc controller users having too much aim assist and I can see issues happening with this game I don't think they should not add cross play to games it's great just give us the choice should we find we don't want it on particular games don't think this is a unreasonable thing to want

@tak225 my rhetoric ?
So what about yours then?
A free to play game doesn't owe you an opt out period, so theres your entitlement buddy.
Like I said, dont like it? Dont play it.
Which you arent.
So kudos for at least partially going about it the right way.
Activison really doesn't owe you a thing though as far as warzone is concerned.

As Microsoft slowly releases lots of games to Steam, it's becomming obvious that the Windows 10 store has failed. It's hated with a passion by most and many more refuse to even try it out after viewing feedback.
I don't see it being around for too much longer now.
And forced crossplay isn't going down to well with console players currently either on any game. So the future is yet to be written in stone in regards to which direction its heading.
Time will tell.

@troubled-cells think i will do as I please and continue to let the powers that be know we don't want cross play at all costs and we want the ability to choose not to participate if we choose to which is the correct way there is no entitlement to forced cross play and at the end of the day these companies serve us not the other way around just because you want a all inclusive deal that benefits your platform some don't and more people are letting them know this from what I am seeing it's not the harmonious cumbaya thing they tried to make it seem as I have said before I am pro choice the ability to choose to opt in or out should be there by default and users should choose and I want my preferred platform Xbox to provide what playstation does I don't think I should have to switch consoles when something that's readily available on a competing platform should be there on Xbox aswell as on playstation I mean you actually think it's acceptable for ps players to have a opt out and not Xbox players 😒
And at the end of the day you should not be forced to participate in something you never wanted in the first place

Your recommendation to others is worth more than a donation! Spread word.
Your recommendation to others is worth more than a donation! Spread word.Your recommendation to others is worth more than a donation! Spread word.Your recommendation to others is worth more than conservative social environment. A conservative business environment is one where government intervention in businesses through regulation is minimized. Government intervention in the affairs of businesses should be limited to action necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. Failure to regulate effectively can produce catastrophic results. The failure of the ERCOT power grid in February 2021 is a perfect example of the failure of Abbott to plan and guard against just such an occurrence. The catastrophe of February 2021 could have been avoided had Abbott only headed the warnings given him when he first took office. Failure to take action to protect Texas agriculture from a repeat of the drought of 2011 is another catastrophe in the making. The high-tech industry does not offer up the same risk to the health, safety and welfare of the public as the ERCOT grid (or even Texas agriculture) does. Intrusive government regulation should be discouraged. This would be a conservative business environment and one that I support. A conservative social environment on the other hand leads to restrictions on individuals. Consider individuals that make up the high-tech work force. A conservative social environment, like one found in Saudi Arabia, would draw significant protests from high tech workers should a high-tech company announce a move there. One of Texas’ strengths is that it is a conservative state. But, by enacting laws that are socially restrictive, the blue and white collar workers in the high-tech industry are likely to become disgruntled. It’s not like moving to Saudia Arabia, but you get the point. The most significant concern is that the legislation signed into law were overt acts of restrictions on individuals. The attack on women’s rights and on voting rights. Couple those actions with the ridiculous claims by right wing extremists, as well as radical right members of the Texas House and Senate attacking the presidential election results of 2020 and you get a clear signal that individual’s liberties are at risk. None of those actions by the elected republicans, was taken for the health, safety or welfare of the public, they were taken merely to further their conservative agenda against individuals. These actions lead to unhappy workers, unhappy workers lead to unhappy employers. This is not good for the Texas economy or the Texas blue and white collar middle class.

Company History
Date your watch
A trio of warships christened Royal Oak, named after the legendary "royal oak" - a hollowed out tree which offered King Charles II a safe hiding place from his pursuers - lent their distinctive name in 1972 to an equally distinctive luxury sports watch - the Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet. Since then, the Royal Oak has become the leading model of the world-famous firm in Le Brassus and helped the stainless steel wristwatch attain respectability among watch lovers around the world.
The Audemars Piguet story begins in 1875 when twenty three year old watchmaker Jules Audemars and future partner Edward-August Piguet, just twenty-one years of age, met in the Vallee de Joux. Both had learned the watchmaker's trade after finishing public school in their hometown of Le Brassus by training at the bench and returned to the Vallee de Joux to find jobs in the local watchmaking industry. Jules Audemars was soon producing raw components for watch movements, while Edward-August Piguet sought employment as a "repasseur" (a master watchmaker who performs the final regulation on a watch). Shortly after their meeting in 1875, the two talented watchmakers decided to join forces and founded the firm that would someday come to be known as Audemars, Piguet et Cie.
Almost from the beginning, Audemars was in charge of production and the technical side, while his partner Piguet focused on sales. Their partnership was not an immediate success, however. In fact, the Audemars Piguet trademark was not even registered until 1882 and the firm's "official founding" did not take place until 1889. Already, however, Audemars Piguet et Cie had become the third largest employer for watch manufacturing in the Canton of Vaud. More importantly perhaps, both men had deliberately shifted their focus towards the production of high-quality, complex, ultra-precise watches.
Shortly after the official founding in 1889, a branch office was built in Geneva and the partners decided to produce all of their components and assemble the finished watches in-house. This allowed the firm to maintain strict quality control over their products and as a result, only products of the highest quality left the workshop. In short order, the greatest, most renowned retail jewelers were ordering watches from Le Brassus. Today, one can find many Audemars Piguet pocket watches identifiable as an Audemars Piguet only by their serial number, the result of prestigious jewelers, such as Gubelin and Tiffany & Co., wanting only their own name engraved on the movement and case, and not that of Audemars Piguet.
It is interesting to note that between 1894 and 1899, a mere 1,208 watches were produced. Among these were some of the most sophisticated timepieces ever made, including the legendary "Grande Complication" series, which is still being produced today. Aside from normal time indication, a Grande Complication timepiece offers minute repetition, perpetual calendar, and chronograph.
At around this same time, the retail operations in Geneva and London were transformed into full-service branches where watches were not only serviced but also assembled. By 1914, Audemars Piguet launched a project to develop a watch so complicated that it would take six years of continuous production before the watch could be delivered to the importers Guignard & Golay in London.
The watch in question was a pocket watch with two dials and a one-minute tourbillon mechanism. As well as a tourbillon, this double dial Lepine, gold watch included a minute repeater, a chronograph with 60-minute and 12-hour counters, perpetual calendar with displays which "jump" at midnight, display of the leap year cycle, the "age" and phases of the moon, and power reserve display. The second face showed an additional 24 hours based on the sidereal hour, moving a pair of independent hands. A special system connected to this gear-train makes it possible to see the changes in the London sky at any time of the day or night, through an oval-shaped opening in the rear dial. The sky is represented by 315 stars engraved on a plate of gold, enameled in blue. The stars, with their respective names, are all clearly visible.
Unfortunately, it was the last triumph for the founding partners. Audemars died in 1918. The following year, so did Edward Piguet.
After the founders' death, Audemars Piguet continued to prosper, establishing several technical milestones with the creation of the world's smallest minute repeater watch, having a diameter of just 15.8 millimeters; the debut of a Hunter Model (hinged-lid pocket watch) with a jumping second hand, also featuring a barometer, quarter repeater, independent second hand, the date and day of the week; and in 1925, another first: the world's thinnest pocket watch measuring just 1.32 millimeters. The year 1928 also saw the development of the world's first skeletonized pocketwatch.
Needless to say, then as now, Audemars Piguet was considered one of the finest watch manufacturers in the world. Business boomed, as did the world economy. Customers of Audemars Piguet included such prestigious jewelers as Gubelin, Tiffany & Co., Cartier and Bulgari. Unfortunately, the company's success ground to a shocking halt in 1929 when only 737 watches were sold. By contrast, nearly 2,000 watches had been sold in 1920. With the stock market crash in 1929 and the subsequent Depression, there were suddenly very few customers for expensive watches. Like other Swiss watch companies, Audemars Piguet was forced to layoff most of its workforce, until hitting rock bottom in 1932, when just two watches were produced.
Despite the hard times, the company bounced back following World War II, thanks to the success of its chronographs and ultra-thin (the famous nine-ligne calibre 2003) dress watches.
The 1950's and 1960's saw a major rebound in the firm's sales. In 1967, in cooperation with Jaeger LeCoultre, a new record for the thinnest (2.45 mm) automatic movement, with a centrally placed rotor of 21-carat gold, was established. Just three years later, in 1970, the watchmakers of Audemars Piguet premiered the world's thinnest movement (3.05 mm) to include date display and a central rotor made of gold. The year 1972, of course, marked the debut of what has become the signature model for Audemars Piguet, the "Royal Oak".
Designed by the legendary watchmaker Gerald Genta, its octagonal shape, steel edges and the use of prominent hexagonal screws as a design feature strike a perfect balance between power and elegance. Worthy of its name, the Royal Oak has since become a legend. Its octagonal design, originally produced only in high-grade steel, took the breath away even of many professionals. However, when the Royal Oak was unveiled at the 1972 European watchmaking fair in Basel with a price tag of just 3,300 SFr. -- unheard of for a watch bearing the Audemars Piguet name -- its success was beyond even its creators' expectations!
In 1993, the company museum, housed in the original workshop of Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet, was established. This museum, a tribute to the company's visionary founders, allows watch enthusiasts to discover Audemars Piguet technology "from A to Z." Its exhibits retrace the key stages in the company's history, and show many of the creations that made Audemars Piguet famous, including the Grande Complication. As well as its unique collection of antique watches, and in particular of watch complications, this very unusual museum enables visitors to see the intricacy and precision required in horology, by observing two master watchmakers at work in the modern Audemars Piguet atelier which is a permanent feature of the museum.
That same year, a new model in the Royal Oak collection premiered: the Royal Oak Offshore, which is water resistant to a depth of 10 atmospheres. The Offshore model offers following functions: chronograph to 1/5 second, tachymeter, 30-minute counter, 12-hour counter, date display, seconds display, automatic movement with central rotor in 21-carat gold.
Three years later, in 1996, a wristwatch version of the famous "Grand Complication" premiered at Basel. More than 600 components are contained in an integrated movement that does not exceed 8.5 mm in height. It is a technical marvel that marries old-fashioned craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, such as computer-aided design (CAD). It was also in 1996 that Audemars Piguet embarked on a new era, becoming one of the first major watch companies to represent itself on the Internet with its official Web site.
Today, Audemars Piguet remains one of the most prestigious watchmakers in the world -- yet despite the company's enormous success (AP even owns 40% of Jaeger-LeCoultre), every watch is still made by hand the old-fashioned way - one at a time. Today, along with Patek Philippe (PP) and Vacheron Constantin (VC), AP is considered to be one of the "big-three" as one of the finest watches in the world

Newly refurbished bathroom, bathroom fixtures, bathrooms accessories, bathroom furniture must not deteriorated because of the moisture and vapor, which a and materials – durable.
Starting bathroom installation, try to decide at the very beginning, what would you like to eventually obtain. What are you most interested in: sanitary appliances or entourage? What concerns the latter, the very style of a bathroom might be splendid and grand, in the spirit of the times of “king the sun” Louis XIV, as well as daintily intimate, matching the famous ancient Rome baths’ decor. All depends on your taste and on the outlook of your inmates.
Nowadays the abundant market gives you in fact the unlimited freedom of choice while creating a bathroom design. The only things that will restrain your fantasy are the sense of moderation, financial abilities and dimensions of the bathroom.
Planning.
The choice of a place for a bathroom and its internal planning are usually determined by certain rules and logic. In many homes today you more often see two or three bathrooms, which all depends on the number of rooms and inhabitants. Of course the most optimal option is the presence of several washrooms. In this case you would not waste your time by sitting in the mornings and evenings and waiting while your inmates have had splashed in bounty. If the planning or the size of the dwelling does not allow to install several bathrooms or its separate elements, then it’s necessary to try to arrange so, that the only bathroom in house is connected to all zones: the kitchen, the bedroom, the living room. This way you won’t experience any discomfort, in case any guests stay with you. In most hard instances there’s a possibility to install two or three doors in the only bathroom, e. g. into the living room and the bedroom.
A great variety of finishing materials – tiles, fluid glass, marble, wood, terracotta and much else, and really enormous choice of bathroom fixtures and accessories give wide designing possibilities and allow to install bathroom renovating the space and creating actually comfortable bathroom. The only aspect that must be followed while creating a new bathroom design, is a style concept of the whole apartment, or in any case of the zone where the washroom is situated. But if contrasting changes and bright “flares” of color are to your liking, there can be no limits.
Color.
While planning a bathroom interior one of the starting points would be the range of colors, for it is intended for creation of a spirit and also for visual diminishing or enlarging of the room space. For instance, if you wish to widen it, paint the opposite wall by a light color with a hue of grey – and the wall will step back visually. Same “trick” may be applied to the ceiling and wood panels. You can diminish, enlarge or “cut” the bathroom space with the help of a border laid in a certain direction, from tiles of bright and contrasting colors.
If the bathroom space is not too big, it’s worthwhile using light unsaturated colors – this will add openness and air to the room. Bathroom walls decoration of different colors will visually diminish a big bathroom space, making it more cozy. Deep bright colors, such as beige, pink, scarlet, lemon, copper or mahogany tint, will ideally suit for creating a still island for relaxing in a quiet surrounding. Ivory, peach, silvery, sky-blue and all colors and hues of an early morning, loaded with freshness and light will fill the bathroom with joy of a new day start.

The queue into Parliament House is still as long at 3am and it stretches all the way back to Hong Lim Park.
The queue into Papects to Mr Lee Kuan Yew started queueing at the Padang field just before 5.30am on Thursday morning, aiting time is three hours, according to the state funeral organisers' website Remembering Lee Kuan Yew.
At City Hall MRT station members of the public followed signs and traffic marshals directing them to the Padang field.
The elderly, pregnant women, families with children under six years old and those with special needs could join a special lane at the white tents near Parliament House, where the security clearance points are located.
Those joining the priority queue might need to produce some form of identification with their birthdate, or a doctor's note for pregnant women, said organisers of the state funeral on Facebook.
In the early hours of the morning, military personnel worked tirelessly to set up barriers for crowd control on the Padang field in preparation for the day ahead, while at the City Hall MRT station, staff put up fresh signs directing commuters to the grounds.
Lines snaked ceaselessly around the Padang field through the night as the crowds awaited their turn to enter Parliament House to see Singapore's founding prime minister, who died on Monday at the age of 91.
Before 6am, the queue beginning at Hong Lim Park closed. Members of the public were advised to head to the Padang instead, according to the organisers' Facebook page.
And as dawn approached, the crowd began swelling again, as early birds hoped to squeeze in a visit to Parliament House before heading to work or school.

The impact of rising inflation and insolvency on the construction insurance market
31 May 2022 31 May 2022
The challenges faced by the construction industry are continuing to grow and insiders wonder when the storm is going to hit. For some, like Probuild, it already has. Rising inflation and the increasing cost of debt, labour shortages, supply chain delays and escalating cost of freight and materials are putting the industry under enormous pressure. Simultaneously Governments have invested heavily in building and construction to maintain growth in the economy. In 2020 during the pandemic the Federal Government introduced the HomeBuilder scheme which resulted in an influx of work for larger scale domestic builders. In Victoria, the Government has committed significant funds to its ‘big build’ infrastructure program committing billions of dollars to new projects in this year’s state budget.
What happens when contractors enter into fixed price contracts in circumstances where the costs of building are increasing rapidly and there is a significant shortage of labour? There are heightened risks of delay and breaches of contracts because contractors do not have control over the supply of materials or labour. There is significant potential for cost blowouts, projects to be run at a loss and insolvency.
In this article we look at how these challenges might impact insurers in the construction space.
What is the impact of these challenges on the construction industry?
In 2019 the average construction time for completing a single detached home was 8.3 months, today, it is more than 12 months[1] The escalating cost of materials has made fixed priced contracts an increasingly risky proposition. A typical domestic builder will aim for a profit margin of between 15 – 25%. Margins are tighter for commercial builders. In 2022 Lendlease’s target EBITDA margin for its construction division is 2 – 3%[2] With the blowout in construction costs and labour shortages, profit margins will continue to be squeezed.
In researching for this article, we spoke to a Melbourne domestic builder who shared correspondence he had recently received from suppliers. A glass supplier explained their pricing had increased 30% before Christmas and was to be increased again at the end of April 2022 by a further 20%. A specialist window supplier advised of the increased cost of materials it used in the manufacture of its products which included an increase of 50 – 59% in the price of Aluminium over 12 – 18 months, an increase in 38 – 46% on hardware in 12 – 18 months and an increase of 62 – 69% in the cost of glass over the same period. In the same vein, a timber supplier explained that their pricing would increase from 1 July 2022 to absorb supply cost increases of between 10 and 40%. This increase was explained as being the result of a number of contributing factors including tariff, changes to freight and country of origin.
In addition to the increased costs of supply, contractors are facing ongoing supply chain delays. Supply chain issues are typically multifaced and unlikely to be easily resolved. Take copper and timber as examples. Copper is used extensively in construction for uses such as hydraulic pipework systems, electrical cabling and heating and cooling systems. Analysts forecast that by 2030, global demand for copper will outstrip supply by more than six million tonnes[3] Copper is also used extensively in the renewable energy sector including in the production of electric vehicles, wind turbines and solar panels. Demand in this sector will only continue to grow. The likelihood is that the price of copper will continue to rise and the shortage in supply will last for years. Similarly, a shortage in timber has created a huge headache for the building industry. The cost of framing timber started at $3.20 per metre in January 2021 and went up 150% in 8 months, selling at $8 per metre by November 2021[4] Again the reason for the shortage and increased cost is multi-faceted. There has been a shortage in supply due to fire destroying pine plantations across Australia, the US and South America[5] In addition, NSW and Queensland have suffered timber losses due to floods.
Both the Ukraine and Russia are global suppliers of key materials used in construction including copper and timber, as well as bitumen, aluminium and iron ore[6] The ongoing war, together with the sanctions imposed on Russia are also contributing to the shortfall in supplies.
Labour shortages are also having a significant impact on the construction industry. Trades are in demand and demand is outstripping supply. The floods in NSW and Queensland have meant that there has been a significant jump in demand for trades in those states. In the current environment there is an increased risk that contractors will fall behind in their programme not only due to their own labour shortages but because their sub-contractors are also stretched and cannot keep up with the demand for their services.
On the plus side, there continues to be significant investment by governments in construction, which should equate to growth in both the commercial and domestic construction markets. Despite the challenges facing the industry, competition remains strong. The competitive pricing of tenders for building contracts and professional services is likely to continue to be a challenge for the foreseeable future. In the current climate there is a very fine line between hitting that sweet spot of a competitive price and being the successful tenderer whilst ensuring a sufficient buffer to withstand price escalation and remain profitable.
The risk of insolvency on the PI insurance market
In February 2022 Probuild collapsed after its South African parent withdrew its financial support. Gold Coast builder Condev collapsed a month later. It is likely more will follow as inflation continues to rise and supply chain issues continue, unabated. Insolvency not only leaves developers, property owners and employees in the lurch but it leaves sub-contractors and suppliers out of pocket. Where defect claims are concerned, warranty insurers and professional indemnity insurers will be left to resolve matters and pay out, with the builder absent from any litigation and settlement discussions. Whilst proportionate liability provisions in some states may assist, in practical terms the attention will be on the insured defendants.
Contractor insolvency will lead principals and liquidators to look at ways to claw back funds. There will likely be a focus on accountants who have prepared and signed off on financial statements which builders are required to submit to obtain Builders Warranty Insurance. Did the accountant overlook signs of insolvency?
Similarly, there will be focus on contract administrators. Have contractor progress claims been approved prematurely or incorrectly? Were the works in fact progressed to the stage claimed by the Contractor prior to their insolvency? Is there sufficient capital left in the contract to complete the works? Have architects or project managers carrying out regular inspections of building works failed to detect any non-compliant works? Insolvency of contractors brings additional risk to those involved in these aspects of the building process.
Lawyers advising owners and developers will also face additional scrutiny and potentially claims. Did the lawyer carry out any or adequate due diligence on the builder/contractor before the building contract was entered into? Did they ensure as much as possible that the terms of the building contract were adequate to protect the owner/developer in the event of the builder/contractor becoming insolvent, mid project? What type of building contract was entered into? Was the owner/developer warned of the particular risks inherent with that type of building contract in the current market? Were the progress payments under the contract adequately aligned to the construction stages to avoid the owner paying too much to the builder, too early in the construction?
The effect of claims inflation
Whilst inflation and the cost of supplies continues to rise Insurers need to be mindful of claim reserves. Australia’s residential construction costs increased 9% over the 12 months to March, which is the highest annual growth rate since 2001[7] Rectification works carried out now compared with 12 months ago are likely to cost at least 10% more. Quotes for carrying out rectification works are likely to become outdated quickly so inflation needs to be factored into reserving.
Rising inflation and construction costs may also impact policy limits. The lifespan of claims can vary so much. It is the long tail claims that drag on over years that pose the greatest risk to Insurers and Insureds in the current environment. Insurers need to monitor the quantum of claims and policy limits. Is the quantum of a claim approaching the policy limit? In this situation Insurers need to cognisant of the real potential for policy limits to be exceeded, as a claim drags on exposing an insured to uninsured loss which may have been avoided if the claim was resolved earlier in the life of the claim. Questions of the insurer’s duty of utmost good faith in managing the claim may come under scrutiny.
What can insurers do to try and limit their claims exposures?
In the current market, with higher risks of insolvency and the increasing cost of claims, where possible, and while it is trite to say, Insurers should try to settle claims as soon as they can. Oftentimes in negotiating a resolution of building and construction disputes, settling a claim early can carry a premium. In the current environment it is likely that premium is worth paying. Remember, settlements buy certainty and presently, there is value in certainty.
When assessing claims, factor in the insolvency risk of other wrongdoers/defendants. Is there the potential for a party to become insolvent? Consider this risk when negotiating the settlement of claims and the joinder of parties to a proceeding.
The increased cost of construction means that it will cost more money to resolve building claims. Factor inflation and increasing construction costs into your claim reserves. Does the claim have the potential to be drawn out? If so, factor that into your reserving. Whereas 12 months ago you might have set a claim reserve of $x, now you might consider setting a serve of $x plus 20%.
Where excesses are cost inclusive, obtain payment of the excess promptly once claim costs are being incurred. Settlements can become more challenging where an insured has become insolvent and not paid their excess. Whilst the excess is an uninsured loss to the claimant that is unrecoverable, the practical reality of this situation is that insurers can be forced to agree to pay the excess amount to get a settlement over the line.

About Lars Teichmann
The German painter Lars Teichmann combines historical painting andm past epochs such as classicism or baroque.
He subjects the opulent depictions to a radical and expressive treatment process. Teichmann abstracts and narrows the figures down to their contours. He also deprives the pictures of their colour variety, adds streaks and blobs of colour and almost always covers the faces with white paint. In this way, he is able to open up completely new perspectives on existing works and entire subjects. He questions our traditional viewing habits.
Lars Teichmann learned the professional tools of the trade for his highly independent visual worlds during his studies of fine arts at the Berlin University of the Arts. Since 2004, his works have been regularly exhibited in German and European galleries and art houses.

Unique Piece
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.

“The idea of a place of one’s own drives the American story. We became a nation out of a desire to slip the bonds of Europe, which was still in manThe magic of America lay not only in its sense of opportunity, but also in the belief that life could in every way be shaped by the individual. People traveled here not just for religious freedom, but because in America anything seemed possible.”
Additionally, a research paper released just prior to the shelter-in-place orders issued last year concludes:
“Homeownership is undeniably the cornerstone of the American Dream, and is inseparable from our national ethos that, through hard work, every American should have opportunities for prosperity and success. It is the stability and wealth creation that homeownership provides that represents the primary mechanism through which many American families are able to achieve upward socioeconomic mobility and greater opportunities for their children.”
Has the past year changed the American view on homeownership?
Definitely not. A survey of prospective homebuyers released by last week reveals that becoming a homeowner is still the main reason this year’s first-time homebuyers want to purchase a home. When asked why they want to buy, three of the top four responses center on the financial benefits of owning a home. The top four reasons for buying are:
59% – “I want to be a homeowner”
33% – “I want to live in a space that I can invest in improving”
31% – “I need more space”
22% – “I want to build equity”
Millennials believe most strongly in homeownership.
The survey also reports that 62% of millennials say a desire to be a homeowner is the main reason they’re buying a home. This contradicts the thinking of some experts who had believed millennials were going to be the first “renter generation” in our nation’s history.
While reporting on the survey, George Ratiu, Senior Economist at said:
“Americans, even millennials who many thought would never buy, have a strong preference for homeownership for the same reasons many generations before them have — to invest in a place of their own and in their communities, and to build a solid financial foundation for themselves and their families.”
Odeta Kushi, Deputy Chief Economist for First American, also addresses millennial homeownership:
“Millennials have delayed marriage and having children in favor of investing in education, pushing marriage and family formation to their early-to-mid thirties, compared with previous generations, who primarily made these lifestyle choices in their twenties…Delayed lifestyle choices delay the desire for homeownership.”
Kushi goes on to explain:
“As more millennials get married and form families, millennials remain poised to transform the housing market. In fact, the housing market is already experiencing the earliest gusts of the tailwind.”
Bottom Line
As it always has been and very likely always will be, homeownership continues to be a major component in every generation’s pursuit of the American Dream.

TODAY’S READING IN THE ONE YEAR BIBLE – JUNE 13- 1 Kings 11-12:19; Acts 9:1-25; Psalm 131:1-3; Proverbs 17:4-5
Jun 13, 2022 | Uncategorized
JUNE 13- 1 Kings 11-12:19; Acts 9:1-25; Psalm 131:1-3; Proverbs 17:4-5
Solomon was the son of David appointed to rule on his father’s throne and to build the temple his father desired. He had great wisdom, honor, wealth, and power, all gifts from God. As we have seen, unlike Jesus, the Greater Son of David, Solomon’s wisdom did not extend to his moral and spiritual life. Solomon did not remain humble. Nor did he always put to good use what God had given Him. His judgment became distorted.
Those who grow in riches, fame and power of influence can fall into self-deception, thinking that ‘might makes right’. They forget that moral and spiritual laws apply to themselves. Their transgressions reap a harvest of consequences. Many at the height of their success become blind to the moral precipices beneath their feet of clay.
Jesus puts Solomon’s earthly splendor into perspective as He contrasts it with the splendor of the Father’s plan in the Sermon on the Mount:
Matthew 6:28-29 “And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil, nor do they spin, [29] yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.“
The queen of Sheba sought out Solomon for his wisdom. Jesus tells us that there is a greater wisdom that is to be found in God’s wisdom, His plan of salvation:
Matthew 12:42 “The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
If the Queen of Sheba was responsive to the wisdom God gave Solomon, how much more should we be responsive to the wisdom of God in giving us the greater Son of David, Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior? If she was willing to give up her time and take the trouble to travel to a far country to investigate the claims made concerning Solomon, how much more should we be willing to sacrifice and come to Christ and deepen our relationship with Him!
Solomon’s glory is severely tarnished as his heart is turned away from the Lord. His prophetic voice disappears. His spiritual credibility is undermined. He fails to seek the Lord and do what is pleasing in His sight. Notice the declension. He treats unfairly those who had been generous towards him (9:12-13). He oppressed foreigners into forced labor (9:15-22). He violates God’s law to accumulate wealth (10:26-29) and takes foreign wives who lead him into idolatry (1 Kings 11).
Notice that he does all that is forbidden in the law of Moses pertaining to kings:
Deut. 17:16-17 “Moreover, he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor shall he cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, since the Lord has said to you, ‘You shall never again return that way.’ [17] “He shall not multiply wives for himself, or else his heart will turn away; nor shall he greatly increase silver and gold for himself.”
1 Kings 11 tells us how Solomon’s heart is turned.
1 Kings 11:1-3 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, [2] from the nations concerning which the Lord had said to the sons of Israel, “You shall not associate with them, nor shall they associate with you, for they will surely turn your heart away after their gods.” Solomon held fast to these in love. [3] He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines, and his wives turned his heart away.
Solomon had exhorted the people to be “wholly devoted to the Lord” and “keep His commands” (1 Kings 8:61). Yet he became more devoted to his wives than to God. He disobeyed God’s commands, and both accommodated and entered into their idolatry. Solomon’s example of marrying women from pagan nations set in motion a practice that would cause great problems centuries later during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (Ezra 9:2; 10:2-3; Neh 13:23-27).
The Lord appears to Solomon for the last time with this sad verdict. His warnings have gone unheeded.
1 Kings 11:11-13 11 So the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant. 12 “Nevertheless I will not do it in your days for the sake of your father David, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 “However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”
The consequences of Solomon’s apostasy would be that the kingdom would be divided, with ten tribes forming the nation of Israel to the north, and two tribes forming the nation of Judah in the south. The kingdom would have been torn out of his hands completely if it were not for God’s previous covenant with David and His choice of Jerusalem.
Solomon’s golden age of peace is over. God raised up enemies against Solomon. Hadad, the Edomite, whose people had been killed by David’s army under the command of Joab. Haddad survived, fleeing to Egypt where he was sheltered with favor by Egypt’s Pharaoh. When Hadad learns that Joab is dead, he asks Pharaoh’s permission to leave and attack Solomon. Rezan of Aram also attacked Solomon.
A servant of Solomon, Jeroboam, son of Nebat, an Ephraimite, and son of Zeruah rebelled against Solomon.
1 Kings 11:28 28 Now the man Jeroboam was a valiant warrior, and when Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, he appointed him over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph.
The prophet Ahijah encourages Jeroboam to rise up against Solomon by assuring him that it was the LORD who was going to give him the ten northern kingdoms (1 Kings 11:29-39).
1 Kings 11:30-33 30 Then Ahijah took hold of the new cloak which was on him and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces; for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and give you ten tribes 32 (but he will have one tribe, for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen from all the tribes of Israel), 33 because they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, doing what is right in My sight and observing My statutes and My ordinances, as his father David did.
Therefore Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam escapes to Egypt, where he is provided refuge until Solomon’s death.
Solomon dies after a 40-year reign.
The northern kingdom would soon be led by Jeroboam.
So, due to the unfaithfulness of Solomon and the people, the promised judgment is falling upon God’s covenant people with the kingdom being divided. Jeroboam will become king of the ten northern tribes (Israel), and Solomon’s descendants will be rulers over the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to be known as the southern kingdom (Judah).
The Lord promises to Jeroboam the same promises that He gave to David, with the difference that there was a shelf-life to them, as God intended to establish the kingdom of the son of David forever and Jeroboam’s only for a limited time. He would do this for the purpose of humbling David’s descendants (1 Kings 11:39).
Solomon tries to kill Jeroboam, who flees to Egypt and remains there until Solomon’s death.
Out of mercy, the Lord allows Solomon to remain on the throne in Jerusalem throughout his life. But the Lord says (through the prophet):
1 Kings 11:35-36 35 but I will take the kingdom from his son’s hand and give it to you, even ten tribes. 36 ‘But to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may have a lamp always before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen for Myself to put My name.
Solomon’s successor, King Rehoboam, forsakes the counsel of the elders and gives in to the advice of his peers to be even more of a tyrant than his father.
1 Kings 12:13-15 The king answered the people harshly, for he forsook the advice of the elders which they had given him, [14] and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.” [15] So the king did not listen to the people; for it was a turn of events from the Lord, that He might establish His word, which the Lord spoke through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
So begins a period of approximately sixty years from the death of Solomon and the breakup of the kingdom to the corrupt reign of Ahab and the coming of the prophet Elijah.
We see in the despotic reign of Solomon in his later years and the rule of Rehoboam, that people often submit to tyranny rather than rise up against it.
NEW TESTAMENT READING: Acts 9:1-25
Today we have Luke’s account of the conversion of the Apostle Paul. We will read it again in the Book of Acts as Paul repeats his testimony on at least two other occasions (Acts 22 and 26). This is another great evidence of the reality of Jesus’ resurrection- the transformation of the Apostle Paul.
We meet Paul as Saul of Tarsus, consenting to the death of Stephen (Acts 7:58). Then we see him as a prime persecutor of the church (Acts 9:1). He was one of those religious zealots from the synagogue that Jesus spoke about in the upper room before he was crucified:
John 16:2-3 2 “They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. 3 “These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.
The conversion of Saul to Paul is one of the greatest stories in the history of the church.
Damascus, a city in Syria northeast of Jerusalem, had a large Jewish population, and it is estimated that it had as many as thirty or forty synagogues.
Paul made some important discoveries that day. Jesus is real! Jesus is alive! Jesus loves his church and is so identified with believers that He says to Saul when He stops him in his tracks on the road to Damascus: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” Christ is united and identified with His church. It is His body. To persecute the church is to persecute Christ.
Paul discovered that he was a sinner and needed a Savior. He realizes that he had been blinded and mistakenly thought that Jesus was a blasphemer and false teacher. Now He realizes Jesus is the Son of God. Saul’s sin was not just that he persecuted the church, but that he was persecuting the God he thought he was serving!
Paul also discovered that the church of the Lord Jesus was God’s special family. He is introduced to Ananias who is directed by the Lord to go to Saul, whom he formerly perceived as an enemy of the church, and pray for him (Acts 9: 10-14).
Paul also discovered that God had a great purpose for him:
Acts 9:15-16 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; 16 for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.”
Paul describes the Lord commissioning him:
Acts 26:16-18 16 ‘But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you; 17 rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, 18 to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’
TODAY’S PSALM: PSALM 131:1-3
PSALM 131:1-3
This Psalm eloquently speaks of the benefit of humbling ourselves before the Lord.
O Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty;
Nor do I involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.
Surely I have composed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me.
O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
Warren Wiersbe sums up David’s accomplishments well.
“A courageous soldier, a gifted general and tactician, and a sincere man of God, it was David who defeated Israel’s enemies, expanded her boundaries, and amassed the wealth that Solomon used to build the temple. He wrote nearly half of the psalms, and though (like all of us) he was guilty of disobeying the Lord, he was always repentant and sought God’s merciful forgiveness. It was for David’s sake that the Lord kept the light burning in Jerusalem during the years of Judah’s decay, and it was from David’s line that Jesus Christ came into this world. Except for a few lapses into selfishness and sin, David walked with the Lord in a humble spirit.” (Bible Exposition Commentary (BE Series)- Old Testament
The opening verses remind me of the words of the Apostle Paul:
Romans 12:3 3 For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.
Psalm 131:1 1 O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty; Nor do I involve myself in great matters, Or in things too difficult for me.
David is aware of the dangers of reckless ambition. Jeremiah warns:
Jeremiah 45:5a 5 ‘But you, are you seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to bring disaster on all flesh,’ declares the LORD.'”We need to be content with who the Lord has made us to be, thanking Him for our portion in Christ. We need to appreciate the fact that we are part of a story and a community of which we are not the center!
Psalm 131:2 2 Surely, I have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me.
The Hebrew word for ‘wean’ means to complete, to ripen, to treat kindly. The English word may be a contraction of the Scottish word for a dependent babe, a ‘wee one’. We can be near our mother, but not demanding out of dissatisfaction. We are content with who we are and what we have in Christ. A spiritual child moves from constant feeding and early dependence on our spiritual parents through a process of individuation (recognizing their unique gifts, calling, and portion in Christ) and then interdependence in the household of faith.
Our dependence upon the Lord never ceases.
Psalm 131:3 3 O Israel, hope in the LORD From this time forth and forever.
TODAY’S PROVERB- PROVERBS 17:4-5
These Proverbs touch upon the impact of listening to evil speech and mocking the poor or taking pleasure in the difficult circumstances of others.
Proverbs 17:4-5 4 An evildoer listens to wicked lips; A liar pays attention to a destructive tongue. 5 He who mocks the poor taunts his Maker; He who rejoices at calamity will not go unpunished.
There are some people who not only speak evil of others but love listening to those who do the same. What do you listen to? What gets your attention? We are to sympathize with those who suffer calamity rather than rejoice in their misfortune.

Haiti
Republic of Haiti
Caribbean
Geography
Area: 27,400 sq km
Western third of the island of Hispaniola; shared with the Dominican Republic.
Population: 10,188,175 Annual Growth: 1.60%
Capital: Port-au-Prince
Urbanites: 49.6%
HDI Rank: 149 of 182 (UN Human Development Reports 2009)
Official language: French (10% speak it). Common languages Haitian Creole, English and Spanish increasingly used as a second language Languages: 2All languages
Haiti is the poorest state in the Western Hemisphere, aggravated by overpopulation, deforestation (only 2% of original forests remain), soil erosion, pollution and hurricanes. Around 75% live on less than $2 a day, and two thirds are under- or unemployed. Political instability and violence prevent proper aid distribution and long-term investment. The 2010 earthquake devastated much of what little economic infrastructure did exist. After this disaster it will take billions of dollars and many years of stability, coupled with sustained redevelopment, to see any long-term economic progress. Major sources of income include remittances from expatriate Haitians and, now, aid, relief and development funds earmarked for earthquake recovery.
POLITICS-
A slave revolt against the French in 1804 created the first black republic in the world. Haiti was made to pay for its freedom with steep reparations to France and economic/diplomatic isolation by the European and American imperial powers, crippling the nation in its early years. Since then, it has had a troubled history of bloodshed and dictatorships. The deposing of the Duvaliers in 1986 ended a particularly brutal dictatorship. A succession of coups and military governments since, including US led intervention in 1994, have done little to instill stability, but the longer-term presence of the UN has assisted. Haiti annually appears at or near the top of the corruption index; crime is rife, and 25% of the already-under-strength police force are in the pockets of drug lords and gangs.
Answer to Prayer
The spiritual response to the tragedy of the 2010 earthquake was an almost universal outpouring of prayer, repentance, and calling upon God for mercy and deliverance. Out of the disaster, God appears to be doing something radical and new among the people of Haiti. Reports abound that the three days of prayer and fasting called for by the president – replacing February 2010’s Mardi Gras – were attended by over one million people.
Challenge for Prayer
The earthquake of 2010 was a disaster on many levels. But it also offers hope out of tragedy. It is believed that 230,000 lost their lives, 300,000 were injured and over one million were rendered homeless. Hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings were also destroyed, including some major government buildings. Aid arrived from around the world, but coordination was difficult in the aftermath of the earthquake, and assistance will be needed for a long time to come. For a host of reasons, Haiti struggled as a nation from its very inception. This shattering disaster could be an opportunity to reshape not just the physical infrastructure of the nation, but the cultural, economic, political and societal infrastructures as well. Some points to cover in prayer include:
a) The rebuilding efforts will take years. Haiti’s infrastructure was never good, and Port-au-Prince’s was especially weak due to rapid urbanization from poorer rural areas. Countless homes will need to be rebuilt or restored; the sheer scale of money and manpower needed is staggering for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. Pray for the best long-term development for the city and nation, rather than quick fixes. Pray for generous assistance from wealthier neighbors and nations and agencies from further abroad.
b) The human suffering was immense in the immediate aftermath and will continue for years. The shared emotional trauma of the events, the massive loss of life and the long-term injuries will all leave major scars on the Haitian population. Healing from such hurts needs time, care and the love of God.
c) Haiti was a financial and social mess even before the earthquake. Repairing all the damage, however, will not create a healthy economy. Haiti must rebuild beyond its previous state and develop long-term plans and policies that are shaped with wisdom and justice.
Pray for the many ministries that are working with the poor in Haiti, including “Hope for the Children of Haiti” and “Orphans First.”
PRAYER: Father, we thank you for the gospel, the ‘sure mercies of David’. So often we fail to give you the worship and obedience that You deserve. We are great sinners. But we have a great Savior! We thank you for Jesus! He is the eternal king who reigns in righteousness and He has offered us riches that make Solomon’s wealth look like cheap trinkets. You have attired us with the righteousness of Christ and granted us the inheritance He attained for us!
We pray that we would step into our calling with the kind of abandon that the Apostle Paul demonstrated. May You be glorified in all that we say and do
-Pastor David
So, naturally, we proclaim Christ! We warn everyone we meet, and we teach everyone we can, all that we know about him, so that, if possible, we may bring every man up to his full maturity in Christ. (Colossians 1:28, J.B. Phillips paraphrase)

UK horticulture professor co-develops mobile app for landscape and nursery professionals
Lexington, KY - Green industry professionals often find themselves in the field needing immediate access to pest and plant disease information and plant care recommendations. Or they need to be alerted when destructive pests emerge in their areas. Thanks to a collaborative effort of horticulturists, entomologists and plant pathologists at seven land-grant universities, now there's an app for that.
Winston Dunwell, a University of Kentucky horticulture professor at the College of Agriculture’s Research and Education Center in Princeton, worked with professionals from the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, Clemson, North Carolina State University, University of Georgia, University of Maryland and Virginia Polytechnic Institute to develop the first integrated pest management mobile app for nursery growers, landscapers, arborists, extension agents and students that includes the major horticultural practices and disease and insect recommendations.
IPMPro will streamline pest management decision-making and employee training and will make complying with state pesticide recordkeeping regulations easy, according to its deveopers.
The mobile app is available for iPhone, iPad and Android.
With the cooperation of growers and landscapers, horticulture and pest management experts built IPMPro for U.S. Department of Agriculture Plant Hardiness Zones four through eight.
“Nursery and landscape professionals conduct business on the go; they truly have a mobile office – often their truck,” explained Amy Fulcher, lead developer and UT Institute of Agriculture plant scientist. “IPMPro dramatically simplifies day-to-day plant care and pest control decision-making in the field. It provides a library of information in the convenience of an app, and features real-time alerts to help professionals stay on top of emerging pests and timely plant care.”
IPMPro is like having an expert in the field, so the user can:
• Receive text-like alerts for time-sensitive pest issues and plant care—adjusted to location;
• Consult images, lifecycle and management options for major pests of woody plants;
• Reference how-to information and images of cultural practices;
• Obtain pesticide recommendations for major diseases and insects;
• Utilize built-in pesticide recordkeeping for documentation while outdoors;
• Track pests and cultural practices in calendar view or a chronological list;
• Assist in educating new employees and experienced professionals.
The application is the first of its kind developed in the United States. It was made possible through funding by the UT Institute of Agriculture through its Extension and AgResearch units and in cooperation with the UT Research Foundation.
IPMPro is $24.99 and is available through Apple and Android marketplaces. For more information on the application, visit
Developers are currently working on a similar app for homeowners called IPMLite.

Does prior sperm aspiration have a negative impact on vasectomy reversal?
December 10, 2016 Leave a comment
A lot of couples debate which of the two major methods of having a child after vasectomy they should pursue. Often times it is a decision based on cost. For that couple wanting to do IVF first, this study shows no significant scarring as a result of the aspiration and no significant negative effect to a successful vasectomy reversal.
Vasectomy Reversal Possible After PESA
Urology – July 30, 2008 – Vol. 24 – No. 07
Vasectomy reversal is possible after percutaneous sperm aspiration.
Article Reviewed: Results of Vasovasostomy or Vasoepididymostomy After Failed Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspirations. Marmar JL, Sharlip I, Goldstein M: J Urol; 2008; 179 (April): 1506-1509.
Results of Vasovasostomy or Vasoepididymostomy After Failed Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspirations.
Marmar JL, Sharlip I, Goldstein M:
J Urol; 2008; 179 (April): 1506-1509
Background: 4% to 6% of men consider havintilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI). Percutaneous sperm aspiration (PESA) is one way for sperm retrieval, but the degree of epididymal damage is unknown the ability to perform vasectomy reversal after failed PESA-IVF-ICSI. Design: Retrospective study involving a specialized subset of patients who requested and underwent a vasectomy reversal after PESA. Participants: 8 patients who failed 1 to 4 attempts at IVF-ICSI with sperm retrieved by PESA. Methods: Patients were identified from the records of 3 experienced infertility microsurgeons. The side of the PESA was determined. Vasovasostomy (VV) or vasoepididymostomy (VE) was performed based on standard of care–intraoperative fluid from the testicular end of the vas. Two-layer VV or end-to-side/2-stitch VE was performed. Postoperative semen analysis was performed at 3-month intervals. Results: All patients had bilateral PESAs performed. Of the 8 patients, 4 had no apparent abnormality to the caput of the epididymis, 2 had small blue cysts at the caput, and 2 had small areas (<0.5 cm) that appeared necrotic or ischemic. No specific puncture site for the PESA could be seen at the time of reconstruction. Ten of 16 vasal units had sperm in the testicular end of the vas at the time of vasectomy reversal. Six of 16 vasal units had pasty fluid and required VE, and 1 patient had a bilateral VE. The time from vasectomy was from 15 to 22 years. All patients postoperatively had sperm in the ejaculate from 1 to 200 million/cc, with 15% to 90% motility. Surgery resulted in 4 pregnancies leading to deliveries. Conclusions: PESA caused only limited trauma to the epididymis with 87.5% of patients able to have a vasovasostomy on at least one side. Vasoepididymostomy was more likely related to the duration from vasectomy than due to scarring from PESA. Reviewer’s Comments: This paper reports on an important question about a simple percutaneous procedure to retrieve sperm for IVF-ICSI. A select group of men will want to undergo vasectomy reversal after a failed IVF-ICSI cycle. This paper answers the concern about possible scarring from PESA–it does not appear to. The technique did not differ in outcome despite 3 different surgeons involved for both PESA and reversals. The study is, of course, limited by the small number, but this surgery is not performed very often. The ability to bypass/avoid scarring at the epididymis may be related to several ducts coming from the rete testes to become efferent ducts before becoming a single tubule. The caput is often the target for PESA; therefore, if any scarring occurs, then the other efferent ducts may provide sperm down the epididymis. (Reviewer–Ajay K. Nangia, MBBS).

Patent marking in Romania
Authors: Dariana Istrate and Luciana Anghel
1. Definition & Legal Provisions
Indicating a patent number on the product or, when in the course of issuing such, the “patent pending” indication applied on either the packaging or the product itself, is typically understood in IP terms as “patent marking”.
Patent marking is not mandatory in Romania and, in consequence, there is no standard format for the patent marking to be applied on the patented products.
Observing the existing international market practice and in view of the Romanian consumer protection principle of transparent information (i.e. correctly informing consumers on the offered products), it is recommendable to state that a product is patented or that the patent is pending, and also to provide the number of the patent, therefore providing enough information in order for a third party to easily identify the specific IP right that covers the specific product (e.g. Patent information: “Patent no.”, “Patent applied for number/no.”, “Patent pending number/no.”, “Pat. Pending”).
It is important to distinguish between marking and labels, considering that according to the European Union legislation, a marking is a symbol and/or pictogram that appears on a product or its respective packaging[1] (“patent marking” is understood as affixing on either the packaging or the product itself the number of the patent that covers the product).
Also, the Romanian law does not provide a specific language to be used for patent marking.
However, from a labeling perspective (which is regulated by the consumer protection legislation), it should be noted that, in Romania, all information regarding products and services offered to consumers, accompanying documents, including information on product safety and instructions for use, as well as contracts, including pre-formulated ones, must be written in Romanian, regardless of their country of origin, without excluding their presentation in other languages[2]. As a consequence, patent information to be applied on products (in terms of a label) must be firstly presented in Romanian, without excluding their presentation in other languages.
2. Benefits which may arise from Patent Marking
As patent marking is not regulated under the Romanian legislation, in terms of enhanced damages patent marking per se does not provide any opportunity. However, intentional infringement may be considered by the judge in a court case, when individualizing the penalty to be established in the case brought before the Romanian courts.
To conclude, patent marking is not mandatory in Romania and marked products have no implications when awarding compensation in case of infringement.
3. Virtual patent marking
There are countries like the US or the UK where a list of the patents covering a product is provided on a website. Such list is connected to the goods which have to be marked, replacing the traditional patent marking.
Basically, virtual patent marking consists in indicating on the goods a website address that directs any third party to a web page providing information on the rights that protect the connected goods; this method has greater advantages in terms of up-to-date information.
The Romanian legislative framework on patents is also silent with respect to such patent marking formats. However, if reasonable requirements on consumers’ right to be provided with full, accurate and correct information are respected and clear and intelligible tools are provided – for example, it is recommended to ensure that the relevant website is accessible to consumers without charge and leads straight to the page/section containing the information on the patent – virtual marking should be permitted.
As a side note, virtual marking is considered less widely accepted than the conventional method of physically marking the products with the patent that covers it, but a step forward is expected in this sense.
4. Consequences of a false marking
In the absence of such specific legislation, in case of infringement, the general national provisions on patents for inventions, consumer protection, unfair competition and misleading advertising shall apply. Also, it should be noted that the European Patent Convention (EPC) does not contain requirements or specific provisions on patent marking either. Likewise, the EPC is silent about the implications of patent marking and leaves this to national laws, in many countries including national competition laws – as an example, in accordance with the Austrian Law Against Unfair Competition, the false patent (utility model) marking is regarded as a misleading commercial practice. The offender may be sued for discontinuance, elimination and, if appropriate, monetary compensation by anyone interested in the observance of fair commercial practices (for example, consumers, competitors, the Federal Chamber of Commerce etc.).
The concept of false/misleading patent marking is not defined under the Romanian applicable legislation. Consequently, false/misleading patent marking falls under the general definition of unfair competition practice: “Any commercial business practices that are contrary to the good practices and general principle of good faith and that cause or may cause harm to any market participant shall be deemed to constitute unfair competition.”[3]
Examples for false/misleading patent marking are: falsely claiming to have registered a patent when you have not registered it (including using in advertising or affixing to any unpatented product the indication “patent”/”patent pending” etc. or the related application number), use of another one’s patent without the consent of the patentee, with the intent of counterfeiting or imitating or of deceiving the consumers and inducing them to believe that the product was made/sold/offered for sale with the consent of the patentee.
In accordance with the provisions regulating unfair competition, “manufacturing in any manner, importing, exporting, storage, offering for sale or selling goods/services bearing false indications regarding patents of inventions, for the purpose of misleading other traders and consumers constitute criminal offence and is subject to imprisonment from 3 months to 2 years or criminal fine”[4].
Advertising the products bearing the false/misleading indications may also be subject to fines, as misleading advertising is prohibited under the law on misleading advertising and comparative advertising constitutes administrative offence and is sanctioned with fines ranging from RON 3,000 (approx. EUR 610) to RON 30,000 (approx. EUR 6,100)[5] and, on a case by case basis, complementary measures (cessation of misleading advertising/prohibition of misleading advertising if it has not yet been brought to the attention of the public, but this is imminent).
To conclude, under Romanian law, there is no specific legal benefit for patent marking. However, we cannot ignore that products that contain patent references may deter/discourage competitors from counterfeiting a patented product (from a practical perspective) and may contribute to a positive marketing policy, improving the manufacturer’s position on the relevant market.

North Point And Full House Make Pitches For Waukegan Casino License
By Eva Ivanova, 13 October 2021
Two vastly different visions for what a casino would look like in the Fountain Square section of Waukegan were presented to the Illinois Gaming Board on Wednesday, when North Point Casino and Full House Resorts made their respective pitches to be awarded the state’s gaming license for that location.
Waukegan was one of six locations granted a casino license when Gov. JB Pritzker signed a massive gaming expansion bill in June 2019 that also legalized sports betting in Illinois. Waukegan’s city government certified three applicants to operate the casino, which then required the IGB to conduct a competitive selection process to determine a winner. A joint proposal from Rush Street Gaming and Churchill Downs Inc. was withdrawn Sept. 29 — the same day the Chicago Bears entered a purchase agreement with CDI for Arlington Park for $197.2 million.
CDI and Rush Street, the official sportsbook partnerBetRivers) and the team’s official casino partner, operate Rivers Casino in Des Plaines. It is the state’s largest revenue generator among the 10 gaming venues in the state and 30 miles from Waukegan. The withdrawal of the Rush Street-CDI bid from Waukegan, coupled with CDI’s sale of Arlington Park to the Bears, has raised speculation that the pair could bid for the downtown Chicago casino license. That site would be in direct competition with Waukegan, given that the Fountain Square location is approximately 40 miles from the Loop.
A third regional competitor for gaming dollars is Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee, located 55 miles north of Waukegan in Wisconsin. Illinois Gaming Board Administrator Marcus Fruchter said prior to the presentations that the state agency remains on course to declare a winning bid for the Waukegan license in early January.
North Point touts strong local ties
North Point’s executive team — fronted by Warner Gaming CEO Bill Warner and Tap Room Gaming CEO Michael Bond — presented it as a company with vast gaming experience that’s already forged deep ties with the Waukegan community, with Warner claiming that “nobody is better equipped to maximize revenue than us.”
Warner Gaming operates five casinos in four states, and Warner said the proposed casino in Waukegan can rival his development of the Hard Rock Casino in Sioux City, Iowa. He expects Waukegan would be similar to Hard Rock in the sense that it would draw approximately half its patrons from out of state, helping it outperform expectations.
North Point’s $452 million bid featured partner Charles Smith and local entrepreneurs Adam Velarde, a Burger King franchise owner, and Pam Netzky, creator of Skinny Pop popcorn. It touted the group’s minority representation and diversity, highlighted by prospective 30% ownership by minorities and 25% by women should all owners be approved for licensure by the IGB.
North Point would operate a temporary casino, with 60,000 square feet of gaming space across the street from the permanent Fountain Square location. It said that facility could be operational within six months of being selected as the winning bid. The temporary location has already been properly zoned for gaming and a local architect has been retained for the buildout.
Warner said North Point is fully funded and Phase I of its buildout would include an 81,500-square-foot permanent casino with a retail sportsbook, outdoor amphitheater with capacity for at least 5,000, and multiple dining options. It stated the project would create 1,000 construction jobs and 1,180 permanent positions, and a second phase would include a 200-room hotel featuring 20 suites, a spa and salon, and a rooftop pool if revenue projections are met.
North Point also would make an annual $400,000 contribution to the city for it to distribute as it sees fit and contribute 2% of annual gross gaming revenue. It added that its outdoor amphitheater would serve as a complement to the Genesee Theater, one of Waukegan’s most visible landmarks.
Full House out to attract high-end clientele
Making a presentation from the company office in Las Vegas, Full House Resorts CEO Dan Lee unveiled a plan to make Waukegan a gaming destination for high-end patrons that was in stark contrast to North Point, complete with talk of how finished ceilings matter in a casino.
Lee said Full House decided to cater to an upscale crowd after the table gaming tax rate in the state was lowered. He believes American Place, as the casino would be known, could leverage Full House’s existing database of patrons who have visited its casinos in Louisiana and Colorado.
The initial buildout would feature 1,640 slot machines, 100 table games, a retail sportsbook featuring a video wall, a swank indoor venue that can hold up to 1,500 people, and five restaurants. American Place, which included a helipad in renderings during the presentation, would also have a 20-room mansion in Phase I. Full House projected the $400 million bid would create up to 2,000 construction jobs and 1,800 permanent jobs upon completion.
Full House also put its financial muscle on full display to the IGB as a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ market and member of the Russell Index. It stated its current cash flow will increase from $48 million to $80 million once its expansion at Bronco Billy’s in Colorado is complete. Full House also has a revolving credit line of $15 million and real-time liquidity of $270 million.
The group also asserted that its decision to rent the Fountain Square land for $3 million annually, with the right to buy the land for $30 million, would give Waukegan a solid return on the real estate side of the transaction. Full House is committed to a $500,000 annual contribution to the city along with 2.5% of gross gaming revenue, based on a floor of $3 million annually.
The Chicago and VGT factors
IGB Chairman Charles Schmadeke asked both parties about the potential impact a downtown Chicago casino could have on revenue from a Waukegan venue. Warner pointed out that a downtown casino would have a secondary impact, but North Point’s officials accounted for that based on surveying the market potential in Illinois by zone.
Jeff Parr, vice president and managing partner of the private equity group Clairvest, which has invested in this project, also said the presence of video gaming terminals (VGTs) would not impact a potential casino. Parr noted that there are different types of gamers and offered the belief the casino market is under-penetrated in the northern Illinois area.
Lee said Full House made its revenue projections based on Arlington Park becoming a racino — which was permitted with Pritzker’s expansion bill — but once Churchill pivoted away from that possibility, Full House expanded its proposal for American Place.
The Full House Resorts CEO provided a stunning bit of bravado during his presentation regarding the competitive marketplace, telling the board, “Rivers doesn’t want us to win this bid. We’re going to compete with Rivers, and we’re going to compete with Milwaukee.”
Lee then took a swipe at the recently opened Hard Rock Northern Indiana in Gary, saying he visited the casino within the past month and found it “underwhelming.” He added that “it kind of looks like a prison” based on the lack of windows along the casino perimeter.

Full House Resorts and Wind Creek are the final two applicants for the casino licenses available in Waukegan and suburban Cook County. The process to get to this point for these two licenses has moved at a slower pace than the other four created by the 2019 gaming expansion bill. The COVID-19 pandemic was one factor.

The Story
The Seymour Group, owners of the Merton Suites, has had a long and close relationship with Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust since it was founded in Jersey by the world famous author and naturalist Gerald Durrell in 1959. The Merton Suites - Dodo, Durrell, Jambo & Trinity - need of protection could be kept and bred. He chose the extinct Dodo as the emblem. Today, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, based in the rural parish of Trinity, has gained a worldwide reputation for its pioneering conservation techniques and has made a significant difference to many endangered species worldwide. A sculpture of the Park's most celebrated resident, Jambo the gorilla, was acquired by the Seymour Group at auction in October 2010 to commemorate the opening of the Merton Suites, and is proudly on display in the hotel gardens.
Sustainability
The Merton Suites have been built to the highest standards of sustainability to minimise environmental impact. All materials were chosen carefully during construction to ensure heat is absorbed during the day and released at night.
External solar shading minimises overheating during the summer months. Energy efficient LED lighting is used throughout the building, with motion sensors and isolated circuits in rooms increasing efficiency.
With the 67m² of green roof utilising 11 species of sedum and secure storage for 40 bicycles, it's no surprise that we have been accredited for our effort with a Silver Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS).

Global LNG Marine Infrastructure Platform Provides Reliable, Cleaner and More Affordable Energy to Support Transure vessels owned by NFE to a newly formed joint venture (the “JV” or the “Platform”) between funds managed by Apollo and NFE in a transaction valued at approximately $2 billion. The JV will be owned approximately 80% by Apollo funds and 20% by NFE.
This transaction will create a global marine infrastructure platform underpinned by long-term contracts, benefitting from NFE’s LNG downstream operations and development activities, as well as Apollo’s leading investment and maritime experience. The Platform provides critical infrastructure for the delivery, storage, and regasification of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to power countries around the world, which can reduce their reliance on oil and coal to lower carbon emissions while enabling potentially substantial cost savings. In addition to serving NFE’s projects globally, the Platform also serves a diversified customer base of utilities and energy companies worldwide under third-party charters.
The 11-vessel portfolio consists of 6 Floating Storage and Regasification Units (“FSRUs”), 2 LNG Carriers (“LNGCs”), and 3 Floating Storage Units (“FSUs”). The total implied enterprise value of the transaction is approximately $2 billion, and NFE will receive approximately $1.1 billion in proceeds after accounting for NFE’s share of the JV and paydown of existing debt.
As part of the transaction, NFE has agreed to charter 10 of the 11 of the vessels from the Platform for a period of up to 20 years commencing either upon close of the transaction or upon expiration of the vessels’ existing third-party charter agreements. The Platform will also seek growth opportunities in support of both NFE and third parties to support the energy transition and bolster energy security globally.
“Together with Apollo, we are creating a leading LNG marine infrastructure platform to help accelerate the energy transition while freeing up capital to continue to invest into our Fast LNG and downstream LNG projects worldwide,” said Wes Edens, Chairman and CEO of New Fortress Energy. “We are pleased to be partnering with Apollo in creating a maritime infrastructure company that will help support NFE’s growing LNG infrastructure needs going forward.”
Apollo Partner Brad Fierstein said, “Energy transition and energy reliability are global priorities and core to Apollo’s sustainable investing platform. We’re pleased to further these initiatives through this long-term investment alongside our JV partners at New Fortress Energy. This is a high-quality portfolio that increases energy security around the world, accelerates decarbonization efforts, and facilitates LNG use which is cleaner and more affordable than diesel. We look forward to investing behind the platform’s growth to drive a more sustainable future.”
Subject to satisfying customary closing conditions, including receipt of certain regulatory approvals and third-party consents, closing of the transaction is expected to occur in Q3 of 2022. Transaction proceeds are expected to be utilized to fund NFE’s FLNG projects, as well as for ongoing downstream infrastructure and general corporate purposes.

A review on ankle syndesmotic sprains identified a recent systematic review of six research studies comparing high ankle sprains to lateral ankle sprains. Athletes in these studies who suffewhy it takes longer for a syndesomotic sprain to heal involves understanding a bit of the anatomy of the ankle. The ankle is formed from above by the distal fibula and tibia and below by the talus and the malleolus (heel bone) below the talus. The fibula and tibia together form a syndesmotic articulation and require specific congruency and mobility to accommodate the underlying talus.
The fibula must be able to rotate, translate and migrate to allow for normal ankle movement. The syndesmotic articulation must also be stable, and thus comprises four distinct ligaments. The anterior inferior tibiofobular ligament and the deep posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament contribute the most to ankle stability, combining to provide 68 per cent of the stability to the joint.
The most common mechanism of injury resulting in a syndesmotic sprain is externally rotates and hyperdorsiflexes, often with sports such as soccer and football or with trauma such as a slip and fall on the ice or stairs. The injury can lead to just an isolated sprain or a sprain with fracture, often of the fibula. It is important to get a proper diagnosis from a healthcare professional before proceeding with treatment.
If your injury is an isolated sprain without fracture, conservative treatment is warranted. Typically, treatment takes place in three phases: Phase I includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation to manage
edema and protect the ankle. Simple range of motion exercises can begin in this phase as well. Phase II begins when you can walk without a limp and your pain and swelling are under control. In Phase II you will continue with range of motion and add strength and proprioception exercises such as balance.
If your goal is to return to sports, Phase III begins when you can jump and hop without pain. Phase III includes return to sport activities with more rigorous strengthening, running and sport-specific drills. This process typically takes over a month.

Bernard Tomic’s girlfriend Vanessa Sierra has delivered a stinging response after being criticised for detailing her experiences in hotel quarantine ahead of the Australian Open.
The social media and Only playing video games up to 11 hours a day.
In a video, Sierra also complained about the food that’d been provided, as well as other hardships, bemoaning the lack of access to a professional hairdresser.
“This is the worst part of quarantine: I don’t wash my own hair. I’ve never washed my own hair. It’s just not something that I do. I normally have hairdressers that do it twice a week for me, so this is the situation that we’re dealing with,” Sierra said.
Sierra faced a backlash on Monday evening, including from Aussie tennis star Nick Kyrgios who tweeted: “I don’t mind Bernie but his Mrs obviously has no perspective, ridiculous scenes.”
But Sierra has hit back, declaring she was misrepresented and detailing her recent charity efforts during COVID.
“You guys are the true definitions of class clowns on a witch hunt and if I want to laugh about how bad my hair is in quarantine I unapologetically will. Have a cry,” she posted on her Instagram story on Monday night.
The saga took a nasty turn overnight when Sierra said she started receiving death threats. “I didn’t realise how many idiots are in the world,” she wrote.
Earlier, Sierra said she had abandoned the hotel’s menu and been ordering Uber Eats instead, “because the food is s**t”.
She said nobody had cleaned their room, they didn’t get fresh sheets, and were forced to wash their dinner plates in the bathroom sink.
Despite other players being able to hit tennis balls against walls and windows in their hotel rooms in videos posted to social media, Sierra said their “tight space” only allowed for “minimal yoga”.
She said they spent about 11 hours a day playing video games.
“I played Pokemon for 11 hours straight yesterday and I think 12 hours straight the day before,” Ms Sierra said.
“Bernard’s been playing World of Warcraft for about the same time I’ve been playing Pokemon.
“It’s sort of all we’ve got as an option.”
Sierra explained Tomic was a vegan and his meals were regularly not properly catered, and the couple had been spending “up $200 a day on food”.
“It’s real hit and miss, sometimes the food is good, sometimes it’s not, so we’d rather order our own food,” she said.
She also said both of Tomic’s scheduled training sessions had been cancelled “last minute”.
“The point of the bubble is you’re supposed to stay in the hotel room, during the day you’re allowed out to the training site, to the gym … but there were a couple of positive COVID-19 cases on a couple of the planes and that’s pretty much delayed everything,” Ms Sierra said.
“It’s really frustrating because we’re stuck in this room with no air, no training.
“A lot of people are saying ‘it was your choice to travel and that’s why you’re in quarantine’; well we had to leave Australia to do the qualifying match, to play in the Australian Open.”

Learn how to have an accessible and ADA compliant online business.
I wanted to make sure that you were aware ominos (Robles v. Domino’s Pizza), Five Guys (Lucia Markett v. Five Guys), Hobby Lobby (Sean Gorecki v. Hobby Lobby), and Winn-Dixie (Gil vs. Winn-Dixie) grocery store who had to pay $105K.
All of those lawsuits involved visually impaired people trying to access the company’s website. These lawsuits have all been filed under ADA Title III. This is the “public access” section of the ADA compliance. I am NOT a lawyer, however, we have been talking with industry experts, consultants, and companies that specialize in ensuring websites are fully ADA compliant.
Above I mentioned some large companies that have had issues with this. However, recently a small shoe store in Clearwater, FL was involved in a lawsuit. They are a Mom & Pop shop and this hits home for me… A small business trying to do everything they can to expand their business and make a little more by having a website gets hit with a lawsuit that could cost them $10-$20k. We really enjoy the small businesses that we get to work with and want to help assist you in being compliant.
In 2018 there were 10,163 federal cases RE: ADA & websites. In CA there were 4,249, that’s a 54% increase in CA from 2017 to 2018.
The Avanti Hotel in Palm Springs got hit with a lawsuit and the plaintiff is looking for $13k in damages. This $13k is in addition to the hotel making the needed changes to the website. The hotel’s lawyer said that it would cost upwards of $25k in damages, plus lawyer fees if they fight the suit and lose.
As you are reading this I bet you are thinking “Why didn’t Apache Interactive build a website that is ADA compliant in the first place?”. Well, that’s a good question. We implement many elements that are required like Alt tag fields on images, tab navigation, skip to main content and other items. We do work to build in as many tools as we can, however, maintaining compliance means that every time the website is updated that it has to be checked again and keeping up with the legal status of a site is above and beyond a normal site build project. It’s not a once and done type thing rather an ongoing element. We could build something compliant if the law never changed and nothing ever changed on your website. However, laws and guidelines change and websites need to be updated.
So… where does this leave us?
There are a few options:
● Do nothing… However, you could be at risk of a lawsuit and we DON’T recommend this!
● Take your website offline… But now you don’t have a business
● Hire an ADA compliance company like SiteImprove ($5k+/month) or AudioEye
($10k+/year)
● Use a “Free Plugin” service that only provides 20-50% coverage on compliance
● Use our new solution
We have partnered with some AI & Accessibility experts to bring our clients a tool that can help provide a compliant solution. Although there will be a cost to this it’s going to be a lot less than having to deal with the legal mess of a lawsuit or even one of the compliance companies that I noted above. We are working to keep the cost very low – under $100/month for most sites (+setup fee).
You may have noticed the accessibility tool in the bottom corner of our website.
This small icon activates an AI powered tool that helps people with disabilities use our website no matter what requirements they have. Our new tool aids people with vision impairment, motor skill issues, ADHA, and even provides a seizure safe mode the dulls colors and stops moving elements from playing. This same tool could be added to you site for a very low license and setup fee and you will have added protection from our compliance partner against any potential lawsuits or bad user experience for disabled site visitors.
If you are interested in learning more about making your site become ADA compliant, please contact us.

A group of private aviators successfully completed a flight across the strait, in a bid to keep alive fragile international ties in the region.

July 26, 2019

A photo of Big Diomede Island, in Russia, and Little Diomede Island, in the United States, taken on a recent general aviation flight between Alaska and Chukotka, show how close the two nations are in ttors and travel pioneers intent on strengthening Alaska-Russia ties completed a planned trip across the Bering Strait early this month.
Two planes carrying six people made the long-planned but short-distance trek from Nome on Alaska’s Seward Peninsula to Provideniya on Russia’s Chukotka Peninsula. It was a smaller group than the six planes and 11 people originally planned, and it was, by air-travel standards, just a short hop, only 230 miles. Still, the journey carried a lot of significance.
The specific purpose of the trip was to keep the Nome-to-Provideniya route status active. The route has official designation from the Federal Aviation Administration and from Russian officials, but its use has dwindled, said Tandy Wallack, owner of a tour company and one of the organizers of the trip.
The fewer planes that use the route, the more onerous the bureaucratic hurdles become, said Wallack, whose company, Circumpolar Expeditions, has been conducting tours for decades in the Russian Far East.
Leaving Nome on July 7, the group flew over the Diomede islands — Alaska’s Little Diomede and, less than three miles to the west, Russia’s Big Diomede. When they arrived in Provideniya, home to nearly 4,000 people, the weather was perfect, the welcome was warm and the travelers had fun, Wallack said.
Provideniya, in Chukotka, was the destination of a flight designed to keep alive ties— and air routes — between Alaska and Russia’s Far East. (Tandy Wallack)
The group also visited New Chaplino, a Chukotka village of about 400 people, and they met with managers of Beringia National Park, which was established in 2013. Those managers expressed interest in having pilots from Alaska help ferry rangers to remote sites in the sprawling and park, Wallack said. “Some of their rangers haven’t even seen other parts of the park,” she said.
In all, it was a moving experience, she said.
“Actually seeing the coast of Chukotka, you realize how close we are,” she said.
The trip had a broader purpose beyond keeping the air route active. Wallack and her colleagues are trying to revive exchanges between the Alaska-Russia neighbors. Those exchanges were much more frequent in the era just before and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. But as U.S.-Russia relations deteriorated, so did travel across the Bering Strait. Alaskans regret that trend, Wallack said, and so do the people on the Russian side of the border.
“We’re so close and we used to have such wonderful exchanges back and forth over the years. But now it’s dropped off, and they’re worried about that,” she said.
One way to help achieve that goal is to establish visa-free travel between the two sides of the strait. Wallack is trying to convince the Russian government to set up a 72-hour visa-free rule for travelers to Chukotka that would be similar to the existing 72-hour visa-free stays allowed for travelers who come from Helsinki to St. Petersburg.
She has gathered support from Nome Mayor Richard Beneville and from the mayors of Provideniya and New Chaplino. And before she departed for Nome to start the journey, Wallack raised the issue with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Anatoly Antonov, who was in Anchorage on June 21 delivering a speech at a forum hosted by the Anchorage World Trade Centers Association.
Antonov asked Wallack to put her request into a formal letter and promised to provide and answer. And he echoed others in saying the cross-Bering Sea ties are important.
“I am sure when we have problems at the federal level, we have regional connections,” he said.
For people on the Alaska side, there are some practical reasons for active communications and contacts with neighbors in Russia.
An example, scientists have said, is the need for information about recent bird die-offs that have struck the Bering Strait region. Masses of dead birds have been found in the past few years on beaches on the Alaska side, and it would be helpful to hear what is happening on the other side, said Gay Sheffield, the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ marine advisory agent for Nome.
“I’m sure the Russians had problems with birds as well, but we just couldn’t talk to them,” Sheffield said at a science workshop held July 16 and 17 at the UAF satellite campus in Nome.
Mayor Beneville said more ease of travel and communications is important to Indigenous families divided by the international border and for other local people trying to make a living from — and safeguard — the Bering Strait’s environment.
It is sad that exchanges have dropped off, he said.
“Where we are with Moscow and Washington is one thing. But the working folks love what happened in 1989,” said Beneville, who has operated tours himself and brought many visitors to the Russian side.
Overcoming the obstacles that have brought back a Cold War-like atmosphere will not be easy, he warned. “To say it’s a breeze, down the garden path, it’s not,” he said.

Raise your hand if you're undefeated as a head coach in the playoffs.
Here's a complete transcript. Because I'm such an't have to click another link if you're not so inclined.
(on TE Owen Daniels’ injury) "Owen does have a hand issue. First off, it’s not ghe will be ready to go. It’s not an issue from that standpoint."
(on if there are any other injuries) "No, we actually came out okay. (Mike) Brisiel, he ended up playing about three quarters of the game, got a little fatigued late. (Antoine) Caldwell went in, but Mike should be even better this week I would think. Other than that, we just got some nicks. (Bryan) Braman came out okay. He should be ready to go. We’re thinking that Troy Nolan has an excellent chance to be ready to contribute this week. For the most part, we came out as clean as we could."
More after the jump.
(on if defensive coordinator Wade Phillips interviewing is a distraction) "I don’t look at it that way. I think it’s a compliment. We all know Wade’s track record and the job that he’s done. That’s not a surprise at all that somebody would want to visit with him about the head coaching job. I look at it different than probably a lot of people. I think it’s a huge compliment to (linebackers coach) Reggie Herring, (defensive backs coach) Vance (Joseph), (assistant head coach/defensive line) Bill (Kollar), the defensive staff and it’s a big compliment to our defensive players because of the job that Wade’s done. Those are the guys that have helped him do that job. We’re proud of any opportunity any one of our coaches would get. It will not be a distraction. Like I said, it’s a compliment. We’ll get ready to go."
(on fans being upset that Tampa Bay is asking for permission to interview defensive coordinator Wade Phillips in the middle of the playoffs) "That’s just part of it. There’s a window. I don’t know the exact window. I couldn’t tell you. (General manager/executive vice president) Rick (Smith) could answer that better but there is obviously a window where they have to ask for permission to talk to your guys and then you try to make it work within your normal schedule. Nothing will change about our schedule. We’ll go through our normal week and Wade will visit them sometime Friday evening. He’ll still be working Friday evening while everybody else is getting a break Friday evening. Nothing will change about what we do, so I want everybody to understand that."
(on how many plays WR Andre Johnson had in Saturday’s game and how much that helps prepare for this weekend that he was able to play a full game) "I think Andre played in the mid 40s and came out of the game fine. A big, big help for us is that we turn around and play Sunday. We could use that extra day of rest so, you know, the players have had a couple days rest and tomorrow I’ll just do some mental work with them. So, for Andre to have his first time back and to get an extra day of rest this week is huge for our team, but he came out fine. He’s ok."
(on the importance of discipline in the secondary in this game on WRs Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith) "Yeah, you got to give them credit. (Joe) Flacco put up a lot of deep balls that they went up and got and made the play that we did not make. They have been a big play offense. They’re running the ball so well with (Ray) Rice, and Vonta (Leach) is doing just a hell of a job, so it sets up for them to get the ball down the field when they do play action, those type of things. We got to stop the run first. You better stop the run against these guys first, or you’re not going to get on the field. Stopping the big play with their receivers was an issue for us the first time, and hopefully we can correct it this time."

Jamie Donaldson after winning the 2012 Irish Open in Portrush

Jamie Donaldson is a three-time European Tour winner, finished runner-up in a World Golf Championship and has a top 10 at a Major.
At one point he sat in the top 25 in the world rankings and who could forget his outstanding performance at Gleneagles to earn the point that won Europe the 2014 Ryder Cup?
And yet the genial 46-year-old says he perhaps owes his career to an incredible four days at Royal Portrush 10 years ago.
The 2012 Irish Open was an historic event as it was the first to be played north of the border since 1953 and, ultimately, it paved the way for The Open to return to our shores in 2019.
But for Donaldson, it proved to be historic for more reasons than that.
“That was a massively important week for me at Royal Portrush because everything took off for me after that,” says the Welshman, speaking exclusively to Sunday Life Sport.
Coming into the week, Donaldson had played in 255 European Tour events without recording a victory. He’d had to battle a genetic spine condition, while his career to that point had yielded 32 top-10 finishes but none of them had ended with him taking home silverware.
But that changed on the north coast. The Pontypridd man was superb all week on the Dunluce Links, taking a one-shot lead over England’s Anthony Wall into the final round and excelling on the Sunday.
He had to battle back from a two-shot deficit to Sweden’s Mikael Lundberg at one point, but five birdies in his last seven holes saw him claim a four-shot win at 18 under par and finally end his wait for a European Tour win, signing it off in style with a 25-footer for birdie on the final hole.
“I’d been up there a bit coming up to the tournament, I’d been playing well leading up to that. I was just trying to hit the shots in front of me. I didn’t look at leaderboards, I just kept hitting good shots,” he recalls.
“The birdie at the 18th was just awesome. I was trying to lag it up, so for it to go in was just amazing.
“I had a great night celebrating, I’ll tell you that! There are some great spots around Portrush to celebrate in and it felt like the whole town was in there. That was a really special night.”
From there, Donaldson’s career took off and went from strength to strength. A seventh-placed finish followed at the US PGA Championship at Kiawah Island before his second win came at the prestigious Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship the following year.
And after he finished runner-up to Patrick Reed at the WGC-Cadillac in 2014, his third win arrived at the Czech Masters the same year, while his Ryder Cup appearance at Gleneagles was unforgettable as his Sunday singles win over Keegan Bradley secured the trophy for Europe.
And Donaldson admits his career might have taken a completely different path were it not for his triumph at Royal Portrush.
“Winning there gave me the confidence to know I could win at this level and it took me to all sorts of places. You win one and it opens up a lot of doors,” he admits.
“I got into the Majors, I got into the World Championships, into the top 50 in the world and all of a sudden you’re playing in much better fields and you have to get used to that pretty quickly.
“You get used to watching better players more often and that forces you to get better to keep up with them.”
His star has waned a little in recent years, Donaldson being winless since 2015 and down to 200th in the world rankings, but he heads to Mount Juliet for this week’s Irish Open keen to add another piece of Waterford crystal to the one he still has sitting in the bar in his house.
“I love it in Ireland, every time I come back I have such a great feeling,” he adds.
“I feel like I’m playing pretty well at the moment too, so hopefully I can put together four good rounds and give the fans something to cheer about again.”

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A day after Illinois State Rep. Luis Arroyo tiating proceedings to remove Arroyo from office.
Arroyo, 65, has been charged with one count of federal program bribery. Federal prosecutors said he was caught on tape paying a $2,500 bribe to a state senator who was wearing a wire for the feds. The feds say Arroyo had agreed to pay the senator $2,500 a month for up to a year in exchange for the senator's support of sweepstakes-related legislation that would benefit one of Arroyo's lobbying clients.
Madigan had called on Arroyo to resign from office, but so far Arroyo has only agreed to step down as chairman of the House Appropriations-Capital Committee.
Tuesday afternoon, Madigan said he was taking the first steps to try to expel Arroyo from the legislature. House rules allow a state representative to be removed from office by a two-thirds vote of the House.
"Today, I filed the necessary paperwork initiating the official process of removing Representative Luis Arroyo from office. At my request, Representatives Fred Crespo, Justin Slaughter and Barbara Hernandez will serve on an investigative committee as required under House rules," Madigan stated in a news release.
The investigative committee will hold its first meeting on Friday.
The charges against Arroyo do not identify the senator involved in the case, identifying the lawmaker only as "Cooperating Witness 1." But that witness has been identified by multiple news outlets as state Sen. Terry Link (D-Vernon Hills), who is the assistant majority leader in the Illinois State Senate.
According to the charges, on Aug. 2, Arroyo offered to pay the senator $2,500 a month for his support for the sweepstakes legislation. On Aug. 22, the two met at a restaurant in Skokie, and Arroyo gave the senator a check for $2,500 as an initial payment, with the expectation Arroyo would continue paying $2,500 a month for 6 to 12 months.
Link allegedly recorded the conversation for the feds. He expects to be charged with filing false income tax returns in 2016 and is apparently cooperating in the hopes of a lighter punishment.
Arroyo ducked reporters Monday as he left his initial court appearance.
Should the House vote to expel Arroyo, he could still run for re-election next year, and if he were to win, the House could not expel him again for the same offense.

Abstract
Croological footprint. This work aims at fostering this application, which is often limited by vibrational and deflection limits, by investigating composite slab floors made of CLT and High-Perform composite floors CLT-HPC and CLT-UHPFRC with a span of 8 m were designed by considering a multicriteria analysis. To assure a certain structural ductility, previously developed ductile notch connectors were employed. As an economic choice, no shear reinforcement in the concrete slab was employed. Then, full-scale composite beams were fabricated in order to verify the predicted flexural behaviour and natural frequency. A numerical analysis was carried out to verify the connectors could effectively yield before the timber collapse. The comparison between the numerical simulation and the slip measurements confirmed that about 50% of the notch connections fully yielded and underwent inelastic deformation which favors the structural ductility. In the case of the CLT-HPC floor, a reduction of the notch contact surface due to the use of plastic sheet waterproofing as well as shear cracks developing in the concrete close to the notch corner both reduced the expected structural stiffness. Finally, the CLT–UHPFRC floor is endowed with outstanding values of slenderness ratio (∼35) and lightness (∼2 kPa), while eliminating the use of shear reinforcement and sheet waterproofing.

Share this on Twihas an interesting post up at about an Ariel Helwani interview with Paul Heyman where Heyman claimed that he told Vince McMahon to use theay Night Raw," Heyman told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. "They had the right to approve or decline any programming that followed them."
"I told [the WWE], they better not let [the UFC] on ... Yeah, I'm the a--hole that almost turned it down," Heyman said with a laugh.
Heyman recalled telling McMahon, "You should be afraid of anything that will take away from your pay-per-view dollar. They are going to reach into your pocket, rip it open, and all those dollars are going to flow right there."
"Here's the best way I can tell you about Vince McMahon. It's the ultimate Vince control story," Heyman said. "If you're in the room with Vince McMahon and he sneezes, go on your Blackberry for the next 20 minutes because nothing you say to him is going to get through ... Cause he gets really p-----d off. Cause he can't control the sneeze."
While it's a subject that's come up often since the UFC boom started, this is the first time that a former WWE office worker has commented on the decision-making process. Since it's Heyman, he could just be making it up to make himself look prescient, but he's also someone who really is that aware, so...yeah...

CedarS PYCLs–Possible Younger Class Lesson for The Christian Science Bible Lesson on:
“Sacrament”
Sunday, July 13, 2014
by Kerry Jenkins, CS, House Springs, MO
(314) 406-0041
[PYCL 1]
The ideas behind the holy Sacraments of the Christian church are considered essentialessons. Understanding the spiritual meaning of these rites brings us a deeper understanding of God and of Christ Jesus' mission to mankind. These sacraments, and the qualities they inspire, make continuous demands on our thoughts and actions. We must continually be purifying (baptizing) our thought, communing with the divine Spirit, s of all ages this week in Sunday School. This will give them a foundational understanding of the deep significance, not of the one-time occurrence of the sharing of the Eucharist, or of baptism as a physical event, but of the spiritual demand that these events make on us each day.
[PYCL 2]
The Golden Text tells us to “…bring an offering…” to the Lord. What does that mean? What is a sacrifice, and how is it important today? (You can explain what sacrifices were in Biblical days, and what their purpose was). What sacrifice did Jesus make for us and what was the purpose of such a sacrifice? Because sacrifice, humility, purity, and love are all ways to draw closer to God, to truly commune with God, as Jesus symbolized by his sharing of bread and wine, these subjects are all kind of intertwined. You could work together to get a brief overview of all these concepts and then move freely between them to illustrate how they bring us closer to sharing in Jesus' mission to bless mankind through healing and love. Mrs. Eddy didn't “move away” from traditional Christian worship. She was inspired by, and spiritually interpreted the Bible. When we look at the Responsive Reading, we can see that the spiritual interpretation of sacrifice is right there in the passage about how Christ “…may dwell in your hearts…” This is a personal, inspired, search to know the love of God through the message of Christ Jesus. In order to welcome in the kind of deep love that Jesus embodied, we have to make our thought ready. We have to practice sacrificing material goals, loves, desires, grudges, etc. to make room for that pure love that heals. Maybe you could liken it, with the kids, to cleaning up their bedroom. Perhaps they have some important toys or items that they want to store on shelves in their room. What if the shelves are covered in clutter that they don't really care about, and dust, dirt, trash, etc.? What can they do to make room for the precious things they want to display? They need to “sacrifice” the junk that is not valuable to them, then dust (clean) and make space for the better things. Of course, draw the connection with thought here… how we do mental house cleaning, root out anger, selfishness, fear, to make room for joy, generosity, love. In the process we understand the power of God in our lives and we are blessed with healing and inspiration. This paragraph is getting ridiculously long, but you can bring the chaff and wheat example into play here, since this represents a sorting and purifying process as well.
[PYCL 3]
Baptism is a wonderful way for us to separate the false from the true. We are washed clean, gain a new (and more accurate) view of ourselves, as we baptize our thought daily. Does water clean up our thought? No, but it is a good symbol for this kind of cleaning and purifying. Christian Science, viewing the Bible message Scientifically, helps us distinguish between what is material (unreal) and what is lasting and spiritual (real) (S6). In other words, that purity of thought, spiritual baptism, helps us see God, as the Beatitude tells us! Can you come up together with a list of ways to baptize our thought each day? This list would include a lot of actions hopefully, not just things to think about… I think that's what Mrs. Eddy was suggesting in citation S9 when she talks about finding the “footsteps of Truth”. Who doesn't want to follow those?! My little boys play a lot at the “dirt place”. As the name suggests, this area is free from vegetation. They drive their toy cars around tracks, build jumps, make up stories and adventures, and come up to the house as filthy as it is possible to be. Maybe there are other little people who are familiar with getting dirty in this way. Talk about how we wash off the dirt at the end of the day. Does the dirt “say” anything about who they are? What happens to the dirt? What does the tub look like after the bath? Is the dirt part of who they are? Can we “clean” our thoughts this way? How might we do that when we are really mad at our brother/sister about something? How about if we aren't feeling to well, can we somehow use this “cleansing” process to bring healing to that situation? How is purifying thought harder than washing dirt off? Why do we, as Christian Scientists, focus on the thought purifying, rather than the symbol of “water” purifying? Is it maybe because it's more along the lines of the demands that Jesus made on us?
[PYCL 4]
We've touched on baptism, purity, sacrifice. We can look at humility and love through the lens of Jesus' example of bathing the feet of his disciples. Talk about why that was a particularly tender example of humility and also you could bring into this discussion, the story of the woman bathing Jesus' feet with her tears. Why do we have these two examples in this lesson and what are we to think about them? If a man as great as Jesus washed other's feet, what should we be doing? What kind of “foot washing” can we do each day… what does it look like in our daily life? Can you come up with some examples/ideas. If you are looking ahead at this, you could make some efforts at your own “foot-bathing” during the week and share them with the kids. While you talk about this, you could do some actual foot-bathing in your class, if your kids aren't going to make some kind of huge mess (or just pretend). Talk about how you have to get down on your knees to wash feet, you are “below” the person whose feet you are washing. What does that symbolize? You are “on the ground”, is it dirty there (compared to a chair)? You are “looking up” at the person whose feet you are cleaning. Isn't that a lovely way to show that you are seeing them as spiritually valuable, dwelling “on high”, keeping a spiritually accurate view of them? Is there anything that God sees about Her creation that is unlovable? Well then, as we wash each other's feet, we can purge away those thoughts that we hold about man that might be less than loving (sort of like fanning away and burning that chaff, right?!).
[PYCL 5]
Finally, you could talk about the Eucharist itself and what it represents. Look to citation S17 to see how Mrs. Eddy interprets each element of the Eucharist. Talk about what she means when she tells us that our Eucharist is “spiritual communion with the one God”, our bread is Truth, our cup is the cross and our wine is the inspiration of Love… Look at each one separately and think about how these symbols are spread throughout the Bible. You could think about the 23rd Psalm where “…my cup overfloweth…” If the cup is full of oil, and you check out Mrs. Eddy's definition of 'OIL' in the Glossary, you have a wonderful sense of spiritual inspiration that comes from knowing that the cup, the aggressive challenges of mortal existence, overflows at the same time with all the spiritual inspiration, understanding, prayer, etc. that we need to meet these challenges. This is but one small example of how we can look at these important Biblical symbols and bring them into our daily experience to heal and bless us. You might try drawing the outline of a cup and filling it up with healing ideas (“oil”). Maybe the kids can think of this cup as always being filled with fresh inspiration to meet the daily challenges that come up during the week. They can add to that cup each week for awhile, as they come up with fresh ideas.
[PYCL 6]
Looking at citation S21, and continuing with the idea that communing with God is a way to be close or even see that we “blend” with God, you can bring some crayons and do a “blending” exercise. Take two colors that transition with each other, like blue and green, or red and orange. Start with a pure blue, for example, and lay down a layer of that color. Start to add some green over the blue gradually as you move across the paper. Finally, the end of the block of color should have transitioned to pure green. You may want to experiment with this before class to see if you can make it work well. Then talk about how the individual colors take on the qualities of the other in the middle. Can you see where one color “ends” and another “begins”? Think about this in the context of Principle and its idea. They are “blending” together to make another hue that is also beautiful. There are, of course, limits to this analogy, but it may be helpful as a way to illustrate this concept.

Are you preparing to exhibit at a trade show? If so, you’re in for a fun and produ professionals.
However, it can be a daunting experience if you’re new to exhibitions. So, this guide is all about helping you prepare for your upcoming trade show and ensuring you can make a great impression.
We’ll share tips and tricks that will help make the most of your exhibiting experience.
Let’s get started.
Why Are Trade Shows Such A Powerful Marketing Tool?
There are several reasons why exhibiting at trade shows can be a powerful marketing tool for your business.
For starters, it’s a great way to build brand awareness and get your product or service in front of potential customers. Trade shows also provide an opportunity to connect with industry professionals and establish relationships with key players in your field.
In addition, trade shows offer the chance to collect valuable feedback from customers and learn about what’s important to them. This information can help you fine-tune your products or services and make them even more appealing to your target market.
So, now that we’ve discussed some of the benefits of exhibiting at trade shows, let’s move on to some tips to ensure you can make the most of this effective marketing strategy.
The Planning Stage
If you’re thinking that you can jump straight into designing your stand, we’re about to burst your bubble. The planning stage is the most crucial part of preparing for an exhibition because you need to have a strategy in place.
What are your goals?
What do you want to achieve by exhibiting at the trade show? Are you hoping to broaden your customer base? Or would you prefer to increase your brand identity?
How you approach your stand’s design should align with your goals, so make sure you know what you’re hoping to achieve before starting.
Find the right trade show
With so many different trade shows, it can be tricky to decide which ones are right for your business. The best way to do this is to look at the specific target market of each show and determine if it’s suitable for your goals.
You should also consider the show’s location and whether it’s convenient for you to get to. If you’re still unsure which one is right for you, why not ask around?
Talk to businesses in your industry and see if they have any recommendations.
The budget
Your budget will significantly impact the design of your stand and the materials you use, so it’s important to set realistic expectations from the outset.
Once you’ve decided on your budget, you can start thinking about how you want to spend it. The design of your stand is everything, so make sure you put money aside to invest in a pop-up stand and extra features.
The Exhibition Display Stand
When you’ve finally found the perfect trade show, it’s time to start thinking about how your stand will make an impact.
To rent or to buy?
While some think buying a stand is best, renting can save money. These stands are highly adaptable, and rental companies will customise them to your needs, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
You can also use an exhibition stand, and temporary walling hire to minimise the work you have to do because the company will customise everything for you.
Get your branding right
Your stand needs to be immediately recognisable as part of your brand, so make sure you use colours and fonts that are consistent with your existing branding.
If you’re starting from scratch, think about the image you want to portray. Do you want to be seen as a fun and friendly company? Or are you aiming for a more professional look?
Your stand should also include your logo and contact details so potential customers can quickly get in touch with you.
Make it interactive
In today’s technology-driven world, people are used to interacting with their surroundings. So, why not take advantage of this by making your stand interactive?
There are all sorts of ways you can do this, from using touch screens to adding games. The important thing is to have fun with it and think outside the box.
Think about the layout
When you’re planning the layout of your stand, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you need to ensure enough space for people to move around freely.
You also need to consider traffic flow and make sure your stand is easy to navigate. Remember, you want people to stay for as long as possible, so make it inviting and comfortable.
After The Exhibition
Once you’re at the event, you can interact with potential customers, but your work isn’t over when the trade show finishes because you should evaluate your success in the days after you take your exhibition stand down.
Think about what went well and what you could improve for next time. Did you get the number of leads you were hoping for? How many sales did you make?
You should also follow up with any potential customers you met at the event and email them or give them a call to thank them for their time.
Come up with a plan
Finally, you need to start thinking about your next trade show and how you can improve on your stand.
It’s also essential to evaluate your team’s performance because the display attracts potential customers/clients, but your team keeps them around.
Final Thoughts
By following these tips, you’re sure to have a successful exhibiting experience. Just remember to put in the planning and preparation beforehand, and you’ll be sure to make a great impression.
Trade shows offer many benefits to businesses of all sizes, so be sure to make the most of your opportunity.

Abstract
The academic performance of a student in a university ihool level may lose focus due to peer pressure and social lifestyle while those who previously struggled due to family distractions may be able to focus away from home, and as a result excel at the university. University admission in Nigeria is typically based on cognitive entry characteristics of a student which is mostly academic, and may not necessarily translate to excellence once in the university. In this study, the relationship between the cognitive admission entry requirements and the academic performance of students in their first year, using their CGPA and class of degree was examined using six data mining algorithms in KNIME and Orange platforms. Maximum accuracies of 50.23% and 51.9% respectively were observed, and the results were verified using regression models, with R2 values of 0.207 and 0.232 recorded which indicate that students’ performance in their first year is not fully explained by cognitive entry requirements.

What are cryptocurrency whales as much as as of late? They’re holding on to some big-name cash like Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC), and Fantom (FTM), ready for any incremental value will increase that might assist counter the numerous losses they’ve had previously fe undertaking known as Uniglo (GLO), which is making analyst heads flip.
Uniglo (GLO)
Uniglo is a brand new Ethereum-based undertaking that gives a novel social forex. This undertaking provides an answer to cost fluctuations and bear markets – issues that buyers have gotten all too accustomed to these days. Uniglo primarily provides a method to safeguard the worth of its token over time no matter market situations. As anticipated, whales are eager to learn from this resolution.
Ethereum (ETH)
ETH whales are these holding between 1,000 to 100,000 ETH. Whales are a mainstay of Ethereum. However at present, they’re accumulating extra ETH cash due to the upcoming merge through which Ethereum will transition from a Proof-of-Work to a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism. This shift is predicted to extend the pace and decrease the price of transactions on Ethereum. As Uniglo is Ethereum-based, ETH whales are additionally involved in complementing their ETH good points with GLO good points.
Polygon (MATIC)
Much like Uniglo, Polygon can also be constructed on Ethereum. Particularly, it’s an Ethereum layer 2 scaling resolution. Whales on Polygon are those that maintain between 10,000 and 10,000,000 MATIC tokens. Final June, whales have been seen slowly accumulating extra MATIC cash, including roughly 8.7% to their respective holdings. This accumulation triggered a 20% surge within the token’s value. As Uniglo can even create a neighborhood vault on Polygon, MATIC whales see the advantage of buying GLO tokens throughout presale.
Fantom (FTM)
Fantom is one other crypto undertaking frequented by whales. It is likely one of the quickest and most scalable decentralized platforms out there, making FTM one in every of best-performing altcoins within the business. Throughout the first couple of weeks of Might, buyers feared a attainable collapse, as an FTM whale absolutely liquidated his/her holdings. Regardless of the whale’s transfer, nevertheless, the worth of FTM managed to develop 20% within the subsequent weeks. Firstly of July, the platform noticed some ETH whales accumulating about 26,200 FTM tokens, which amounted to $6,726.
Remaining thought
Many Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC), and Fantom (FTM) whales have been across the block for a very long time and acknowledge when it’s time to place their cash in a brand new digital forex. As they give the impression of being to Uniglo, different buyers could be benefited from following their path. Uniglo continues to be in its first section of presale. Potential buyers can undertake this crypto early earlier than it publicly launches on October 18.

A schoolboy endured a horrendou was lured out from his house by other boys and beaten with sticks when he was just eight.
In another racist attack, his jotter was scrawled with vile racial slurs and obscenities including the N-word.
Kirsteen said: “More needs to be done in schools to celebrate our diversity. It was terrible. My lovely brown-eyed, brown-skinned child was being subjected to the worst kinds of abuse.

Disgraced councillor found guilty of sending racist texts is appealingt was from American rappers as a slang word. But the N-word isn’t something that just comes out of kids mouths – they get that from their parents.”
Tiliai, now 11, was at Niddrie Mill Primary School in Edinburgh when he was targeted but his mum said he has now beaten the bullies and is settling into a new school. She called for more understanding of diversity in schools.
Teacher Kirsteen, 49, who comes from Skye originally, said: “He must be the first boy to come home and say that he wanted to go to boarding school. I was getting calls about fights and incidents at his old school all the time.
“My son only brought home two jotters from Niddrie Mill primary. One had a page which another child had scrawled “n*gga, black motherf***er. I couldn’t believe it. He was at that school from primary three until the end of primary six.
“The first racist incident started when he was just three. A neighbour’s child was calling him ‘cookie eyes’ in a derogatory way. I was pleased the child’s parents told him off for saying it but it was shocking to see him as a victim of racism.

“When he was eight, he was assaulted. Four children from his school took him away and then held him down, kicked him and gouged his back with sticks while they made racist comments about him.
“Can you imagine what that was like? The youngest child who gouged him with the stick was just five. The police were called about it and they came out but the kids involved were too young for them to really do anything.
“After the assault, I went to the school and did a presentation for Tiliai called ‘What makes me special’. We explained he was half Scottish and half Fijian and in one self portrait we showed, he had drawn himself as half pink and half brown.
“I even sang a Gaelic song at the end. It went well but the presentation was only for his class and the pupils that attacked him weren’t in his class. Something has to be done in schools to tackle the ignorance and increase pupils understanding of what makes us all different.”
Tiliai has now enrolled at the Queen Victoria boarding school, near Dunblane, which teaches the children of forces families. Tiliai’s dad previously served with the Royal Regiment of Scotland in Edinburgh but he now works at an Army base south of the Border.

Kirsteen said: “After numerous fights and incidents at school, he finally came home one day asking to go to military boarding school. I am delighted that he is now thriving and loving school.
“He has settled in well and, when he rings home, he is always upbeat and happy. He even looks forward to doing his homework. No parent wants to send their child away from home but he was not enjoying a positive learning experience.
“I am incredibly proud of the wonderful young man he has turned into. Perhaps I should have taken his jotters to the police but I feel a lot of the blame lies with parents.
“That’s where children learn these words and behaviours. When he went away to the new school, he was a bit homesick but he has settled well and there are other Fijian kids there and he feels at home.”
Tiliai’s ordeal comes as teachers warned that racist and discriminatory language is becoming more acceptable at schools in the wake of the Brexit vote.
There are fears the result has legitimised hate speech, MSPs at Holyrood were told.
Tiliai's mum says he has beaten the bullies and is now settling into a new school
The trend means race should be put “explicitly back on the agenda” at schools so the views can be challenged, according to evidence given to Holyrood’s Equalities and Human Rights Committee in 2016.
Academics at the Moray House School of Education, which is part of Edinburgh University, said they had spoken to teachers who had seen a rise in incidents since the Brexit vote.
When confronted about their child’s racist language, parents are more likely to make excuses for their behaviour – something that would not have happened in the past, the academics said.
Scottish Labour said: “The racism experienced by Tiliai shames Scotland. We must do more to rid our classrooms and communities from racist hatred.
Edinburgh City Council said: “We do not tolerate racism in our schools. We work to promote equality and highlight unacceptable behaviour, including racism, to ensure any instances are promptly dealt with.”

Thousands of manufacturing jobs and tens of companies could still be lost in the drk warning comes from The Confederation of British Metalforming (CBM), which has seen its 200+ members severely impacted from tariffs designed to protect parts of the UKsteel production sector that are currently ill equipped to meet actual domestic demand.
This means tier 1s and sub-contractors to automotive, aerospace, construction and general engineering have been paying hundreds of thousands of pounds to import their ‘Category 12’ steel – including critical quality and performance bar and section – from European mills, as the quarterly tariff-free quotas are running out within a month.
Recent pleas from the CBM to remove engineering metals under the 7228 code has seen the Government act, almost doubling the available quotas for this category before the 25% tariff kicks in.
Whilst this move is welcomed as a small sign of progress, it does not go far enough to remove the unnecessary financial cost and injury being felt down the supply chain and raises the very real prospect of lost orders and production being moved away from the UK.
“We acknowledge the substantive increase in the Category 12A quota and welcome the motivation to rebalance an unfair and severely damaging position that has led to it,” explained Steve Morley, President of the CBM.
“However, during this quarter the Category 12A quota on imports from Europe exhausted within one month. Doubling that quota will not, therefore, prevent exhaustion, it just pushes it a month further down the line.”
He continued: “That means CBM members will continue to have to operate with a high level of uncertainty and jeopardy. A continuation of that jeopardy over a further two years, will mean continued questions from overseas holding companies about the viability of manufacturing in the UK. Even at reduced levels, tariff costs will continue to injure these businesses unjustifiably.”
The Confederation of British Metalforming is keen to support a vibrant UK steel industry that delivers world class performance and quality at a cost that is competitive.
Recent investment by British Steel in Scunthorpe is a shot in the arm for the sector, but there is a need for other major players in the industry to show the same level of commitment to producing steel in the volumes and specifications required by UK manufacturing.
Steve went on to add: “British steel mills have not been able to supply the Cat 12a materials our members need to support critical domestic and export supply chains, nor are they likely to be able to do so in the near future. So, what exactly are the Government looking to protect? It certainly isn’t UK jobs in downstream metal manufacturing!
“The increase in quotas need to go further and we are therefore requesting that Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the Secretary of State for International Trade, adjusts the level of the Category 12A quota for imports from Europe to 33,000 tonnes per quarter.
“This is the only solution that will have virtually no effect on UK steelmakers, but, at the same time, will allow our members to import materials when required without the risk of incurring 25% additional costs.
“It will also alleviate damage to downstream British manufacturers, already facing the threats of losing critical contracts, of shedding jobs, or finding their manufacturing operations relocated to the EU or other parts of the world.”
He concluded: “The Government must listen to us. If they do, this will remove the current unnecessary burden that carries a very real threat to thousands of downstream manufacturing jobs, whilst leaving safeguarding categories in place to protect UK Steel members.”
