The British Nationality Act 1981 provides that a child born in the UK is either automatically born British or, they are not British but may be able to apply to become British through a process called registration when certain conditions are satisfied. The most relevant subsections of the Act are set out:
1 Acquisition by birth or adoption.
(1) A person born in the United Kingdom after commencement, or in a qualifying territory on or after the appointed day, shall be a British citizen if at the time of the birth his father or mother is—
(a) a British citizen; or
(b) settled in the United Kingdom
Example: a child born in the UK where one parent holds settled status under the EU settlement scheme will automatically be born a British citizen, on account of one parent being considered settled in the UK at the date the child is born.
(3) A person born in the United Kingdom after commencement who is not a British citizen by virtue of subsection (1) (1A) or (2) shall be entitled to be registered as a British citizen if, while he is a minor—
(a) his father or mother becomes a British citizen or becomes settled in the United Kingdom; and
(b) an application is made for his registration as a British citizen
Example: a child born in the UK where both parents hold pre-settled status under the EU settlement scheme is not automatically born British as neither Parents is settled in the UK at the date of the Childs birth. However, the child will be entitled to register as a British citizen if either of the parents is granted settled status in the future and the child is still under 18 years old at the date of application. If the child does not make an application to the Home Office to register, they will not become a British citizen. An application to register a child as a British citizen under this section of the British Nationality Act currently costs £1012.
The BNA Regulations
The British Nationality Act 1981 (Immigration Rules Appendix EU) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (The BNA Regulations) relate exclusively to children born in the UK whose parent(s) obtain status under the EUSS. The purpose of the BNA Regulations is to amend the above provisions of the British Nationality Act 1981 so that children born on or after 01 July 2021 automatically become British if one of their parents is granted settled status under Appendix EU after the child is born (subject to meeting the relevant conditions). The same approach is taken where parents are issued Indefinite Leave under Appendix EU of the Isle of Man immigration rules. The child automatically becomes British on the date the parent is granted settled status. This is a significant change to the existing law as it removes the requirement for the child to make a paid registration application to become British once either parent is granted settled status. It also removes the choice for the child / parent to decide if they want the child to become British.
The Regulations cover two situations; in both cases the outcome of the EUSS application must be that the parent is granted settled status and was eligible for settled status before the date the child was born (in other words, the parents had been continuously resident in the UK for five years at the date of the child's birth). The child must be born on after 01 July 2021:
- A parent applicant applies before the EUSS deadline and then has a child born in the UK on after 01 July 2021, but before they receive the decision on the EUSS application.
- The parent applicant misses the EUSS deadline but subsequently makes a late application that is accepted and is granted settled status. The child is born between 01 July 2021 and the date that the application is granted.
In either situation described, if the parent is granted settled status the child will become a British citizen automatically. This also applies to children where their parents were immigration exempt at the time of their birth if they were subsequently granted settled status once they ceased to be immigration exempt.
Potential discrimination issue
There is an issue with this approach highlighted in the explanatory memo at point 7.3, it states:
This means that such a person will, after 30th June 2021, be residing in the UK without immigration leave, until such time as their application to the EU Settlement Scheme is successful. Should any child be born in the UK to them in the meantime, the parent would not be able to meet the definition of 'settled' required under the BNA and the child would not automatically become a British citizen. This should be contrasted with the position had the child been born before the grace period ended (and assuming their parent would have met the eligibility requirements for Indefinite Leave under the EU Settlement Scheme at that time), or if they were born after a grant of Indefinite Leave.
A child born in the grace period to parents without settled status would only be British if it could be shown that their parents had attained permanent residence under the EEA Regulations (under Section 1(1) of the British Nationality Act 1981 the person is considered to be settled in the UK at the date of the child's birth where they hold permanent residence).
However, there is no basis to argue that non-permanent residence parents who were eligible for settled status but did not apply before the child was born, could argue that the child is British. This is because as the law stands today (the Regulations to not take effect until 01 July 2021), a child is either automatically born British or, they are not British at all and need to apply to become British through registration. Therefore, a child who is born before the end of the grace period will not automatically become British if the parents are granted settled status under the EUSS even if the parents were had lived in the UK for five years at the point when the child is born.
Arguable, the Home Office could have created a set of Regulations to take affect from 01 January 2021 which would have created the same rule that is being implemented from 01 July 2021. Effectively, children born in the Grace Period (and before), are disadvantaged against those born postGrace Period. The explanatory memo misstates the law where is says that a child born in the Grace Period would be born a British citizen "assuming their parent would have met the eligibility requirements for Indefinite Leave under the EU Settlement Scheme at that time", as there is nothing in the British Nationality Act 1981 that provides for this legal situation.


Home Jobs & Education What Is the Average Mortician Salary?
According to official government statistics provided by the BLS (the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S), the average mortician salary for the fiscal year of 2014 was $52,550 per year or $25.25 per hour. The profession, also known as that of a funeral service worker, requires an Associate's degree and has an average job outlook.
The mortician job is, therefore, higher paid than many US occupations featured in the BLS occupational handbook. However, some morticians and funeral workers receive a significantly lower pay for their job. The lowest paid 10% in this line of work receive just $25,910 per year, equaling to a mere $12.46 per hour. On the other end of the spectrum of reference for this occupation, the highest paid 10 points percentile get an average mortician salary of $83,520 or $40,16 per hour.
There isn't enough data to adequately say much about wage equality within this profession. As of 2014, there were only 60,400 people employed in the general area of funeral managing and death care. Of these 60,400, just 23,000 were morticians. Of the 23 thousand, 17 thousand were men, while 7,000 were women. Funeral workers and morticians are generally employed in the following two areas. As you can see, the salary of a mortician does vary a lot between them:
Industry Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Federal Executive Branch (OES Designation) $34.77 $72,320
Death Care Services $24.94 $51,870
"mortician salary salary of a mortician average salary of a mortician average mortician salary"
A mortician makes arrangements for the funeral and takes care of the deceased.
What Is the Average Mortician Salary by Location
Depending on the location where he or she is employed, the salary of a mortician may vary very much. Furthermore, the levels of employment for this job tend to vary greatly depending on each State. While salary varies depending on how many people employ the services of morticians in the respective area, the general price-tag for a specific area also comes into play.
Here's a list of the States which pay their mortician salaries the most in terms of the annual mean wage:
State Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Delaware $34.12 $70,970
Illinois $33.91 $70,530
New Jersey $33.80 $70,310
Rhode Island $33.74 $70,190
Nebraska $29.57 $61,510
Still, wage can be equally important as the specific level of employment. A mortician practicing his skills in Delaware might have a very hard time finding a job, even though the mortician salary is the highest out of all the US. That's because the whole state has just 80 mortician jobs available. Here's a table to indicate the best states in terms of employment:
State Employment Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Texas 1,940 $24.11 $50,140
Ohio 1,500 $24.83 $51,650
California 1,490 $22.71 $47,230
New York 1,460 $25.26 $52,540
Florida 1,250 $25.74 $53,540
Average Mortician Salary Change over Time
Given that the mortician job is seen as a hereditary line of work, parents usually pass on their trade to their kids once they reach an appropriate age. This means that most employees who begin work in this job line so early already know the skills they need to earn a decent wage. Here are the factors that influence the average mortician salary over time, according to PayScale:
 - Entry-level employees can earn up to 17% lower than the national average while mid-career employees earn just 5% more.
 - Experienced mortician will earn a mortician salary up to 23% bigger than the national average.
 - Late-career morticians may earn less than experienced morticians, but still 20% more than the average.

The essence of the garden of the Pazo de Oca resides in the inseparable unity of water, stone and vegetation. Although built very far from the Court, the reference in its design was the Baroque court garden, characteristics that explain why it is known with the hyperbolic metaphors of "Galician Versailles" or "northern Generalife". Despite the numerous transformations they have undergone, these gardens are characterized by the harmonious coexistence of their different stages, from the Renaissance garden bordering the palace to the landscape reforms that, in the 19th century, the gardener of the Royal Palace of Madrid, Fançois Vié, introduced connecting it with the surrounding terraced mountain. However, it is the imprint of the Baroque garden of the first half of the 18th century that is best perceived, as it focused on its ponds which, in addition to constituting the axis around which the garden is arranged, condense all their symbolic baroque style. Forming a figurative boat of tricentennial boxwood that contains another inverted boat on which they sail, evoking the virtues and vanities of the world, two boats, one for fishing and the other for war.
The palace dates back to a primitive late medieval fortress although it was fundamentally transformed in the 18th century when, in addition to a large stately apartment, a beautiful Baroque chapel was built that presides over both the garden for leisure, and the square for work. The restoration work on these gardens, directed by the Duke of Segorbe, president of the Casa Ducal de Medinaceli Foundation, has had as its guiding criteria the conservation of the aforementioned harmonious stylistic diversity and the double character of an ornamental garden and a productive garden both being fundamental characteristics of all pazo gardens.

If you are looking for the perfect plant for your tropical-themed garden, consider the torch ginger. Named for its blooms that bear an uncanny resemblance to a flaming torch, these plants are native to Indonesia and thrive in USDA Hardiness Zones 10b and 11. They make a stunning statement in the tropical garden and are prized by florists as cut flowers. Although this plant is generally propagated by rhizome division, it can be grown from seed.
Soak the torch ginger seed in water for at least eight hours.
Pour the potting mix into the planter and soak with water. Allow to drain for 10 minutes.
Plant the seed 3/4 of an inch deep in the potting soil.
Cover the pot with cling film and place it in a sunny location where the temperature remains 23.9 degrees C or warmer.
Check the pot frequently to make sure the soil isn't drying out. Also check for mould. If a white powdery substance appears on the soil, poke small holes in the plastic to improve air circulation around the soil.
Germination should occur in 30 days. Once it does, remove the cling film and keep the seedling in a bright, warm area of the home. Mist daily to improve humidity around the plant, or place the pot in a pebble-filled tray, filled halfway with water.
Once the torch ginger plant is established, do not let the soil dry out.
Tips and warnings
- Once the torch ginger plant is established, do not let the soil dry out.
Things you need
- 4" planting pot with holes in the bottom for drainage
- Rich potting soil, such as SuperSoil
- Torch ginger seed
- Cling film or bag

Special Six: Morning at Wells Cathedral
Wells, the second smallest city of England in terms of its population size and geographical area, has been a city since medieval times due to the cathedral. I had been fascinated by Clare's (Suitcases and Sandcastles) mention of the oldest complete medieval street left in England on her post on Wells city. So, I asked my sister, during my weekend stay with her, whether we could visit Wells. She decided that we would go for the Sunday Holy Communion service at Wells Cathedral.
When we arrived at the cathedral around 7.30am, the entrance was closed. Someone pointed out a door on its West Front that had been left open for those coming for the service.
At the end of the hour long service, my sister and I decided that we would meet up on the cathedral green near the entrance in a few hours as I had wanted to wander around. Since it was a Sunday, the daily cathedral tours by volunteers was not available. I asked permission to take a few photos of the Quire area from a church staff preparing for the next service. While I would have loved to explore the rest of the cathedral, especially its chained library, I did appreciate having been part of the morning service which I would not have been able to had I visited on a weekday.
What catches one's attention as you walk into the cathedral through the west front are the Scissor arches which, according to the cathedral website, had been added in 1338, when a new spire added to the top of the tower threatened to collapse the whole structure.
The 14th century stained glass windows of the Jesse window was impressive. While the windows narrowly escaped destruction during the English civil war and was protected during the second world war, the windows have been deteriorating over time. A protective glazing has been added to the exterior of the window and conservation work undertaken to preserve the beautiful window.
The Quire area, where the morning service had been held, is one of the oldest part of the cathedral and is beautiful.
The present organ was rebuilt in the 1970s, with the original instrument having been built in mid 19th century, with pipework from late 18th century.
While I had been eager to see the famous 14th century astronomical clock at the cathedral, considered the second oldest clock mechanism in Britain, and its two famous jousting knights and Quarter Jack, I could not see it within the cathedral as I could not wander around. However, there was a clock on the exterior face of the wall, facing the Vicar's Hall, that was connected to the same mechanism as that of the clock inside.
I walked further and came upon the Vicar's close, the medieval street that had intrigued me.
Built to house the Vicar's Choral, which is an all male group, it still continues to be inhabited by successive choral groups.
At the end of the close is the Vicar's chapel and library.
Returning to the Cathedral green, I sat on one of the benches overlooking the west front and admired the cathedral while taking a break.
Have you visited Wells Cathedral? What aspect of the cathedral intrigues you?

What does the phrase "act out of the character'' mean?
2 Answers | add yours
Elementary School Teacher
Whsomeone one says that someone is "acting out of character", they are implying thathat his person is doing somethinwouldn't normally wouldn't do. If you break down the words in the saying it will make sense. When a person "acts", they are performing or doing something. Character is the standard that a person normally follows or how a person normally acts. So when a person is "acting out of character", the person is doing something they normally wouldn't do.

Characterization is a literary term that applies to all genres of imaginative literature. In fiction, it refers to the development of well-rounded and lifelike characters that remain believable and consistent throughout a work. Often the presence of well-rounded characters is what distinguishes literary from genre fiction.
In drama, actors literally get into character; thus an undergraduate actor dresses up and wears makeup to act the role of the aging monarch in Shakespeare's King Lear. Stopping in mid-performance to take a cell phone call would be "out of character." In general, any action that is so atypical of the character as to seem radically improbable (a kind grandmother torturing a cat) is described as "out of character."

| "I once thought I could save the world... now look at it"
— Spoilers for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided follow!
|"Welcome to Golem City, clank!"|
|- A policeman|
Útulek Complex or Útulek Station, nicknamed Golem City, is an enclosed city on the outskirts of Prague, Czech Republic. It was originally built by the Santeau Group to offer temporary housing to Prague's working class. Following the Aug Incident in 2027, the complex quickly devolves into a ghetto for the mechanically augmented.
The Útulek Complex served as temporary housing for augmented workers that flowed into Prague during the period of economic growth under Žofie Růžička's pro-corporate government, which relied on an augmented workforce to fuel the economic growth.
After the Aug Incident, which resulted in Žofie Růžička's death and a transition of power to a new anti-Aug government, the Czech Republic cancels Santeau's contract and seizes control of the Complex. The government then declares that the Complex would henceforth be used as permanent housing for unlicensed Augs. The Complex soon earns the nickname "Golem City."
The conditions in Golem City eventually degrade into something comparable to a prison camp. In 2029, the police artificially restrict the amount of Neuropozyne distributed in the city. In doing so, they establish a way to control the augmented population living there who need the drug to survive. State police patrol Golem City and ensure that its residents live in a constant state of fear.
In 2029, Golem City serves as the headquarters of the Augmented Rights Coalition, after its leader Talos Rucker relocated from Stuttgart sometime in 2028. By the time Adam Jensen visits Golem City, ARC activities are evident all around the Útulek Complex in the form of propaganda posters depicting Rucker and featuring various revolutionary slogans. Loudspeakers around the city broadcast messages from Rucker, such as denouncements of violence as a solution to oppression.
Lower Residential AreaEdit
- Police Station: A police station with several holding cells and an armory. On the upper level, in Block 01, Tibor Sokol is being held, and his brother Dušan Sokol is in a more heavily guarded solitary cell on the lower level.
- Mír ("Peace") Flats
A market area where various daily goods are sold. Fruits ("ovoce") and vegetables ("zelenina") are prominently displayed with signs made from fluorescent light tubes. On the floor below this, on the east side, Entity runs a shop that Jensen can interact with.
- ARC Residential Area
- Talos Rucker's office
Ty Zahrada ("The Gardens")Edit
Large outdoor roof gardens, open to the sun, in which fresh fruit and vegetables are grown.
- According to the Art of Deus Ex Universe, the Útulek Complex was inspired by the real-world Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. The Walled City was a tightly packed collection of buildings with a large population density. Like Útulek Complex, the quality of life for residence was poor and the city experienced high crime rates.
- The word útulek is Czech for shelter or refuge; obviously referring to Útulek Complex's supposed function as a refuge for augmented people.

What is significant about the number 21 for the military
What does the 21 stand for in the 21 gun salute?
Land batteries, having a greater supply of gunpowder, were able to fire three guns for every shot fired afloat, hence the salute by shore batteries was 21 guns. The 21 – gun salute became the highest honor a nation rendered. Varying customs among the maritime powers led to confusion in saluting and return of salutes.
Who started the 21 gun salute?
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, embarked on Indianapolis, receives a 21 – gun salute from Coast Guard Cutter Mojave, during the presidential fleet, 1934. The cannon in shore batteries (with ample stores of dry, usable gunpowder) would fire three shots in return for every single shot they heard coming from the sea.
Do all veterans get a 21 gun salute?
At military funerals, one often sees three volleys of shots fired in honor of the deceased veteran. It is often mistaken by the laymen as a 21 – gun salute, although it is different. Anyone who is entitled to a military funeral will receive the three rifle volleys, subject to availability of honor guard teams.
How many shots are fired at a military funeral?
three volleys

Can you unfold a military funeral flag?
Again, while the flag code does not mention the usage of funeral flags, it does not expressly forbid the unfolding and flying of the flag after the funeral service.

Why are three shots fired at a military funeral?
However, at most military funerals what many mistake for a 21-gun salute is actually an honor guard team firing three volleys from rifles. This tradition comes from traditional battle ceasefires where each side would clear the dead. The firing of three volleys indicated the dead were cleared and properly cared for.
Why are 21 shots fired at military funerals?
What do you do at an open casket?
What are the fundamental aspects of an open casket funeral? They take care of the embalming of the body. The body has to be dressed. The funeral home can also use some makeup on the body. The people from the funeral home will also take care of the deceased's hair.

Covering Dates 1869–1989
Extent and Medium 22 boxes and 94 volumes; paper
Repository King's College Archive Centre, Cambridge
Content and context
Rupert Brooke was educated at Rugby, where his father was master for many years and where he became friends with Geoffrey Keynes. He matriculated at King's College, Cambridge in 1906 as a classics scholar, though he was later to concentrate on English. In 1909, having completed the first part of the Classical Tripos, he moved to Grantchester where he would become the centre of a group known as the 'neo-pagans' and began to write the poetry for which he would become famous. In the same year he won the Charles Oldham Shakespeare Scholarship and in 1910 the Harness Prize. He was elected a Fellow of King's College in 1913.
Personal problems prompted Brooke to take a long holiday, despite his recent election to a Fellowship, and he spent a year traveling in America, Canada and the Pacific, along the way writing a series of articles for the Westminster Gazette. He returned in June 1914 and soon received a commission as a Sub-Lieutenant in the Hood Battalion of the Royal Naval Division. Thereafter he served at Antwerp, trained for a winter at Blandford Camp and then joined the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in February of 1915. He died on the following 23 April and was buried at Skyros, the victim in succession of sunstroke and blood poisoning.
This collection brings together items by and about Rupert Brooke from a variety of sources. It includes manuscript and typescript copies of Brooke's poetry and prose, correspondence between Rupert Brooke and others and a number of photographs. A limited amount of biographical and supplementary material, concentrated on items originating after Brooke's death, can also be found in this collection.
Although held at a single location, the physical ownership of the Rupert Brooke collection is split into two parts. One part is held by King's College, Cambridge. The other is held by the Brooke Trustees, who have deposited the papers at King's College to provide public access.
The collection has a complex administrative history. At Rupert Brooke's death, Mrs. Mary Ruth Brooke, his mother, appointed Sir Edward Marsh literary executor. However, at her death in 1930 a group of literary trustees were appointed that did not include Eddie Marsh, for in the years between Brooke's death and 1930 Mrs. Brooke and Sir Edward had had many disagreements over the publishing of her son's work and the content of Marsh's 'Memoir'. The newly appointed literary trustees, Geoffrey Keynes (the most active), Walter de la Mare, Dudley Ward and John Tresidder Sheppard, were charged, according to the terms of Mrs. Brooke's will, with overseeing the sale of Brooke's books and the disposition of such of his manuscripts as were not in the hands of Eddie Marsh in King's College Library.
In the event, Marsh relinquished his life interest in certain manuscripts bequeathed to him by Mrs. Brooke and significant bodies of material were transferred to King's during 1931 from both him and the literary executors. In the hands of Marsh and Keynes, a substantial amount of poetry and letters subsequently transferred were bound. The papers transferred also included transcripts of Brooke poems and letters collected by both men in preparation for publication.
The 'collection', therefore, must be seen as exactly that: the accumulations of several interested individuals, Marsh, Mrs. Brooke and Keynes, alongside the papers left by the poet at his death, his 'archive' proper. Subsequent transfers were made by the Trustees on several occasions, including a substantial additional body of Keynes's correspondence in 1980. Material was also presented to the library from other interested individuals, among them Hugh Dalton in 1962.

A full catalogue is available on the College web site, and in hard copy in the Archive Centre. Particlar note should be made that these catalogues provide an index for the bringing together of scattered references to, for example, the letters of different individuals or the versions of a poem.
A brief box and parcel list was made during the 1930s. In 1971, Elizabeth Ellem and A.N.L. Munby produced a more detailed catalogue. In view of the different status of certain parts of the collection, some items being the property of the College and other parts remaining the property of the Brooke Trustees, it was thought best to include details of provenance and ownership in each case. In 1980, Michael Halls, Modern Archivist, produced a new listing of that part of the collection which documented Brooke's posthumous reputation (roughly that in old section X). In 1992, Elizabeth Street, Assistant Archivist, produced a detailed list of the photographs. The current catalogue improves on consistency in lay-out and detail recorded for all parts of the collection, but it has not altered the scheme of arrangement or referencing apart from previously unsorted parcels of printed material.

Cheque Bounce in UAE and Settlement Procedure
Cheque bounce in UAE is a criminal offense and cheque writer can face a court trial and jail term
Cheque Bounce in UAE and Settlement Procedure
Articles (Gulf Inside) Cheque bounce in UAE is a criminal offense and cheque writer can face a court trial and jail term also can face a travel ban with a bench warrant, drawer of bounced check unable to leave UAE, and cannot enter if already left until settlements.
To know more about the settlement of the bounced Cheque case and how to the removal of the travel ban, you need to follow the below guide.
New Law Cheque Bounce:
According to the UAE Federal Law No-3 of 1987 promulgating the legal code, both criminal, also as civil proceedings, are often initiated against the perpetrator of bounced cheque writer.
What is Cheque Bounce?
A cheque bounce or bounced check may be a cheque presented by the payee and rejected by the drawer bank under below circumstances:
 1. Insufficient funds in the drawer account.
 2. Changed signature on a cheque or refusing it from being paid.
 3. The drawer's checking account was closed before the cheque is presented for payment.
1: The Police Complaint:
To file a complaint about a bounced cheque, the bearer of the cheque should formally open a case with the police station of the respective emirate against the drawer. For registering complaints on the bounced cheque in Dubai, you'll use the Dubai Police app.
After receiving the complaint, the police will contact the issuer of the cheque to notify him/her of the same and request his urgent presence. At the police headquarters, the drawer is allowed to settle the difficulty through paying the complete amount of the bounced cheque. If he/she paid, no further legal proceedings are going to be taken.
If the issuer of the bad cheque doesn't have money to pay, he/she has the proper to request a while to settle the difficulty. Upon such a request, the issuer could also be granted an inexpensive period secured by the deposit of his passport at the police headquarters. However, it highly depends on the cheque amount as in many cases such a guarantee of depositing the passport is rejected by cops if the quantity drawn on the cheque is more than 1 million dirhams or higher.
Point to be noted that cheque bounced may be a criminal offense within the UAE, upon filing the complaint at the police headquarters, a travel ban and bench warrant on the drawer will be issued automatically. Hence, the issuer of the cheque is going to be banned from leaving the country and arrested if he/she tries to flee, or should be detained on arrival in UAE from outside.
Such a travel ban in UAE is often removed only upon settlement of the cheque bounce case, or after serving a sentence.
2: The Public Prosecution:
In case the opponents failed to resolve the cheque bounce case at the police station, the police then transfer the complaint to the public prosecutor in the court.
Based on the evidence presented within the court, the choice might be a bail either by paying the worth of the bounced cheque or by depositing the passport of the defaulter or another guarantor. In case bail was denied, the public prosecutor may order the detention of the drawer until the court hears and decides on the case.
3: The Criminal Court:
The role of the court in UAE is to dive deeper into that bounce check case, opponents' arguments, and available evidence. The court then proceeds to look at whether the crime elements are satisfied or not. The crime elements are the fabric element and therefore the mental element.
Once both of the crime elements are satisfied, and by the authority vested in it within Article 401 of the UAE legal code, the court may decide the sanction of the perpetrator.
This can be confined to a fine assessed solely by the court, supported the conclusion reached and therefore the amount claimed and typically ranging between AED 1,000 and AED 30,000+. The court can also decide the sanction of the perpetrator to be serving a jail term of between 1 year and three years.
4: Civil Court Proceedings:
The criminal court and the civil court function separately but may solve both civil cases and criminal cases. Hence, the sentence issued by the court comes only as a sanction for the act of issuing a bounced cheques with insufficient funds in account or withdrawal all or part of the funds after giving the cheque.
The claimant may present his case to the civil court also to say his right to the disputed amount.
After reaching a conclusion supported the evidence and facts presented by the opponents, the civil court can then demand the issuer of the bounced cheque to pay a sum equal either to the worth of the cheque or its outstanding balance. In case the perpetrator fails again to pay the said amount, his assets could also be attached, and he could also be subjected to a different jail term for failing to comply with the civil court orders.

If there are not any pending cases against the bounced cheque writer, once the jail term is completed, he's allowed to gather his impounded passport and may also leave the country.
Writing a Cheque:
If the issuer of a cheque realized that he did a mistake by writing a cheque and there have been sufficient funds, it is often remedied at any stage of the legal proceedings by providing account statements of cheque submission date.
How to Remove Travel Ban:
Travel ban against Bounce cheque can only be removed through settlement or completing the jail term, the important point for the drawer is that he/she shall confirm to retrieve the bad cheque and obtain a clearance paper from his debtor or court upon payment of the disputed amount or completing the jail term.
Henceforth, no further legal proceedings will be initiated, and the UAE travel ban and an arrest warrant will be removed automatically.
Recent Developments in cheque bounce case:
To mitigate the non-payment of bounced cheques, the UAE government has recently introduced new regulations to punish such crimes with fines rather than jail terms. This initiative allows the issuer of the bounced cheque to urge employment opportunities or other such alternatives to be ready to repay his debt rather than getting to jail, subject to the orders of the public prosecutor.
Cheque Bounce Penalty:
As per the order, cases of cheque bounce the amount not exceeding AED 200,000 shall be punished with the following fines:
If the quantity is a smaller amount than AED 50,000 the cheque bounce penalty is going to be AED 2,000.
If the quantity is between AED 50,000 to 100,000 the fine is going to be AED 5,000.
If the amount written in the bounced cheque is from AED 100,000 to 200,000+, the cheque bounce penalty will be AED 10,000+.
Conclusion and extra care:
Cheque bounce in UAE can be associated with numerous reasons including illegal termination by the company, bankruptcy, absconding of the cheque writer, etc. In practice, when the bearer of the bounced cheque filed a complaint with the police, the most viable way to resolve the issue for both parties is to settle it at the police station amicably.
It is advisable that don't allow anyone to use your checkbook, as holders of checkbooks can get in trouble for a cheque bounce in UAE even without signing it. The practical experience shows that there are cases where an individual is often subject to legal liability towards a cheque bounce or bounced check case even it's not signed by him.

What is enzymatic desizing and what is the recommendation for efficient enzyme desizing
Desizing is the process of removing the size material from the warp yarns after the textile fabric is woven.
Enzymatic desizing is a traditional desizing procedure of degrading starch size on cotton fabrics using enzymes. Enzymes are multipart organic, soluble bio-catalysts, created by living organisms that catalyze chemical effect in a biological process. Enzymes are quite specific in their act on a particular material. A small amount of enzyme is able to decompose a large quantity of the material.
Recommendation for Efficient Enzyme Desizing
(Ref: BTRA – Bombay Textile Research Association)
- Before enzyme de sizing cloth should be wetted with warm water.
- Enzyme activity should be tested before use.
- pH should be controlled.
- Avoid copper made machines.
- Enzyme treated cloth keep in a rider room.
- Treated cloth wash with hot water.
- Should be careful that enzyme above 70 degrees the centigrade temperature will be inactivated or damage.
How Enzyme activity Depends on Concentrate pH and Temperature
- The activity of enzyme increases with the increase of temp but up to certain limit then above that limitation activity decrease.
- Enzyme stability decrease with the increase in temperature.
- Enzyme activity decrease with longer time.
- Changing of pH rapidly changes enzyme activity and stability.
- If the concentration of enzyme increases then activity decrease.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOCK BOGGS FEB 7th 1898
Dock was an influential old-time singer, songwriter and banjoplayer. His style of banjo playing, as well as his singing, is considered a unique combination of Appalachian folk music and African-American blues. Contemporary folk musicians and performers consider him a seminal figure, at least in part because of the appearance of two of his recordings from the 1920s, "Sugar Baby" and "Country Blues", on Harry Smith's 1951 Anthology of American Folk Music collection. Boggs was initially recorded in 1927 and again in 1929, although he worked primarily as a coal miner for most of his life. He was "rediscovered" during the folk music revival of the 1960s, and spent much of his later life playing at various folk music festivals and recording for Folkways Records.

Even though the
MyISAM table format is very
reliable (all changes to a table made by an SQL statement are
written before the statement returns), you can still get
corrupted tables if any of the following events occur:
The mysqld process is killed in the middle of a write.
An unexpected computer shutdown occurs (for example, the computer is turned off).
You are using an external program (such as myisamchk) to modify a table that is being modified by the server at the same time.
A software bug in the MySQL or
Typical symptoms of a corrupt table are:
You get the following error while selecting data from the table:
Incorrect key file for table: '...'. Try to repair it
Queries don't find rows in the table or return incomplete results.
You can check the health of a
CHECK TABLE statement,
and repair a corrupted
MyISAM table with
REPAIR TABLE. When
mysqld is not running, you can also check or
repair a table with the myisamchk command.
See Section 22.214.171.124, "
CHECK TABLE Syntax",
Section 126.96.36.199, "
REPAIR TABLE Syntax", and Section 4.6.3, "myisamchk — MyISAM Table-Maintenance Utility".
If your tables become corrupted frequently, you should try to
determine why this is happening. The most important thing to
know is whether the table became corrupted as a result of a
server crash. You can verify this easily by looking for a recent
restarted mysqld message in the error log. If
there is such a message, it is likely that table corruption is a
result of the server dying. Otherwise, corruption may have
occurred during normal operation. This is a bug. You should try
to create a reproducible test case that demonstrates the
problem. See Section C.5.4.2, "What to Do If MySQL Keeps Crashing", and

The Anatomy of Conducting Thursday, August 13, 2009
â€œGesture is the genesis of sound. Gesture, the conductor's technique, is the frame-work by which we evoke the sounds we hear and wish to hear from our ensembles.â€ - James Jordan
Both instrumental and choral conductors will benefit from the insight contained in the DVD The Anatomy of Conducting: Architecture & Essentials. This insightful master-class includes tools such as multi-angle video demonstrations and state-of-the-art motion capture animation, allowing conductors to closely study the gesture of renowned conductors James Jordan and Eugene Migliaro Corporon. Revolutionary graphics show the skeletal movement of each conductor in real-time to give conductors an in-depth and accurate picture of body mechanics and architecture. By delving into the physical process of the conducting gesture, one can discover a wealth of new knowledge and apply it directly to your work with a performing ensemble.
In his introduction to the accompanying workbook, Jordan says â€œLearning conducting technique is not unlike learning any other skill-based activity. No matter how experienced we are, there is always the need to stay in touch with the basics. While many will believe that the DVD and workbook are for beginning conductors, this DVD can be a regular refresher of the basics for even the most experienced conductors.â€Â What a wise sentiment!Â Whether new to the field or a seasoned music professional, we are sure that your conducting (and your ensemble) will benefit from the lessons contained in The Anatomy of Conducting.
For this and more conducting resources, call us at 1-800-42-MUSIC.

Name Variations Edit
- Butter beans
- Madagascar bean
Lima beans originated in Peru and have been grown there since 6000 B.C. The name lima bean comes from the capital city of Peru, Lima. Lima beans are often nicknamed chad beans or butter beans. In the southern part of the United States, lima beans are almost always called butter beans, even in markets and restaurants.
There are two distinct varieties of lima-the Ford hook and the Baby Lima (and Ford hooks are not adult baby limas). Both are pale green, plump-bodied and have a slight kidney-shape curve. The Ford hook is larger and plumper than the baby lima. It also has a fuller flavor than its smaller relative. They're usually sold in their pods, which should be plump, firm and dark green. The pods can be refrigerated in a plastic bag for up to a week. They should be shelled just before using. Frozen lima beans are available year-round and are labeled according to variety (Ford hook or baby). Canned and dried limas are usually labeled jumbo, large or small, a designation that relates to size and not variety. In the South, dried limas are frequently referred to as butter beans. When mottled with purple they're called calico or speckled butter beans. A traditional way to serve limas is with corn in Succotash. They're also used alone as a side dish, in soups and sometimes in salads. Lima beans contain a good amount of protein, phosphorus, potassium and iron.
Lima beans come in three main sizes: large, small, and dwarf.
Large lima beans are green or speckled. The speckled kind have a creamy texture and a strong earthy flavor, unlike the pale green ones.
Small lima beans are also called sieva beans and have several other nicknames, such as Carolina bean, civet, seewee, and sivvy. Most small limas are pale green. Small limas are less starchy than the larger varieties.
Dwarf beans, also known as butter peas, are white and speckled and the least starchy of the limas.
Fresh lima beans are difficult to find in the United States, but can occasionally be found at farmers markets. It is easier to find lima beans in the southern United States than anywhere else in the country. Most lima beans are dried, canned, or frozen.
Fresh lima beans need to be shelled before they are eaten. Shelling can be a little tricky, especially with larger beans. Beans are easier to handle if they are tender and have full pods. One method used for larger beans is to simply cut open the pod with scissors and remove the beans by hand. To remove the beans from smaller limas, pull off the string along the seam, and press the two sides open to pop the beans out. Rinse canned limas before using them to reduce their gas-promoting properties.
Lima beans should never be eaten raw (see warning below). The most common methods of preparation are boiling and microwaving. Only a small amount of water needs to be used for either method.
Do not eat raw lima beans. They contain linamarin (also called cyanogen), which releases a cyanide compound when the seed coat is opened. Don't worry; cooking deactivates this compound. The United States sets regulations to restrict commercially grown lima beans to those varieties with very low levels of this linamarin, but lima beans grown elsewhere, may have 20 to 30 times the concentration allowed in the United States.

He may look like a pretty butterfly, but this winged creature is actually a day-flying, evil-eradicating, heroic moth.
The Cinnabar Moth (Tyria jacobaeae) is a member of the Arctiidae (Tiger Moth) family — originally found only in Europe and western and central Asia — and is a relatively new resident to our area.
Initially introduced to Washington state in 1960, the Cinnabar Moth is part of a concerted effort to control the invasive poisonous plant — tansy ragwort — and all without the use of herbicides.
This is the time of year when you may see a Cinnabar Moth flitting through the wild grasses and plants in your neighborhood.
The Evils of Tansy Ragwort
Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) is a wild growing weed with a pretty yellow flower that can used as a source of yellow dye. But whatever mildly beneficial qualities the ragwort possesses, the good qualities are far outweighed by its poisonous nature:
"All plant parts are toxic, with the highest amount of alkaloids in flowers then leaves, roots and stems. Toxic properties are a possible threat to humans through food chain contaminants." Source: Washington State Noxious Week Control Board
"Tansy ragwort is toxic, and can be lethal to cattle and horses … These toxic properties remain in cut plants found in hay. … Chronic, cumulative poisoning, and irreversible liver damage, including cirrhosis of the liver are the results of ragwort poisoning." Source: Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. 2006. South Puget Sound Wildlife Area Management Plan. Wildlife Management Program, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Olympia. 67 pp.
Tansy ragwort flowers throughout the summer and grows on roadsides, in pastures, fields and cleared forested areas, at low and mid elevations. Ragwort contains many different alkaloids, making it poisonous to most creatures — but the Cinnabar Moth thrives on the invasive weed.
Both larvae and mature moths feed on tansy plants. The adult moths consume the nectar of the flowers, the larvae feast on the foliage and stems.
Meet the Hero
The larvae of the Cinnabar Moth can consume large amounts of the tansy ragwort alkaloids without a problem. In fact, the alkaloids are actually beneficial to the Cinnabar Moths, because as they absorb alkaloids, they also become a bitter bite in potential predators' mouths.
The bright colors of both the larvae (yellow and black) and the moths (red and black) serve as universally readable warning signs of their foul taste.
Cinnabar Moth larvae also eat other plants in the Senencio plant family, including groundsels, dusty miller, and butterweeds, but the tansy ragwort is its favorite food.
Life Cycle of the Cinnabar Moth
Adults moths emerge in late spring from overwintering pupae.
The Cinnabar Moth is brightly colored, day-flying moth. Their crimson hindwings are bordered with dusky black and their dark grey forewings have a red streak towards the front margin and two red spots on the outer edges
The female moth lays her eggs under the leaves at the base of the ragwort plant. Larvae hatch in about two weeks.
Their development takes about one month, after this, they pupate on the ground and remain in diapause (physicologically enforced dormancy) until the following spring.

Aeropress vs French Press: What's the Difference?
The most popular ways to make a cup of coffee are:
 1. Drip coffee machines,
 2. French presses,
 3. Aeropress,
 4. espresso makers, and
 5. Instant coffee.
But if you're looking for the methods that combine quality, ease of use, and mobility, you're going to want to focus on Aeropress vs french press.
Both methods are easy, take a matter of minutes, and can be done on camping trips or hikes, as well as in your kitchen.
What is an Aeropress?
Aeropress vs French Press: What an Aeropress?
Aeropress is technically a brand. The Aeropress is a simple way to make a strong cup of coffee. It looks a little complicated, but you can learn how to use it in a matter of minutes.
Here's how it works.
 1. You take finely ground coffee (finer than you'd grind your coffee for a french press or drip coffee maker), and put in two or three tablespoons in the Aeropress system.
 1. Then you fill it up with hot – but not boiling – water. You stir it gently, let it sit for 10-15 seconds.
 1. After those 10-15 seconds, you take the plunger, and push down, making sure all of the coffee ends in a coffee cup. You'll know it's done when you hear a hissing sound.
Pros and Cons of an Aeropress
An Aeropress makes a concentrated, strong cup of coffee.
What is the French Press?
Aeropress vs French Press: What is a French Press?
A french press is a more classic way of making a cup of coffee.
 1. You take coarsely ground beans and add it to the french press. You don't want your beans too fine because the french press works by pushing a metal filter down.
 2. You add hot water, just under boiling temperature. I like to let water boil, and then remove it from the heat for fifteen seconds, and then pour the water into the french press.
 3. You stir the coffee and then cover the french press for anywhere from 4 to 5 minutes. This is letting the coffee brew.
 4. After those 4 to 5 minutes, you push down the plunger. All the beans are trapped at the bottom, and at the top is ready to serve coffee.
Again, this will taste more like a normal cup of coffee – just slightly better than a drip coffee maker.
Aeropress vs French Press
If you're looking for a small but strong cup of coffee, go with the Aeropress. But if you like to drink coffee throughout the day – if you're like me and you like to have 2 – 3 cups as you go about your work, then get a french press.
Plus, an Aeropress does require filters. This isn't a huge deal-breaker, but it is technically more maintenance than a French press.
That being said – a cup of coffee from an Aeropress is addicting. I personally use the Aeropress when I go on camping trips because it's lighter and easier to throw into a backpack than my six cup french press.
Is an Aeropress better than a French Press?
No, an Aeropress is not better than a french press. A french press is also not better than an Aeropress. They both use different methods to deliver different types of cups of coffee.
Does the Aeropress make espresso?
No, an Aeropress does not make espresso. Espresso is made by using high amounts of pressure and finely ground coffee beans. Even stovetop espresso makers are technically not espresso because they can't contain the amount of pressure an espresso machine needs to make to make a legitimate cup of espresso.
However, an Aeropress does make a stronger cup of coffee than a French press or drip coffee maker and this is because it uses less water.

'Overnight change doesn't work'
Dinner lady Jeanette Orrey was one of the catalysts for the campaign led by Jamie Oliver over school food. She had transformed meals at her school, St Peter's primary in Nottinghamshire, in 2000, replacing processed food with freshly cooked meals.
"Ruth Kelly's ban on junk food is a good start but it's going to be difficult. We've lost two generations who don't know how to cook. Children need to be given time to eat and socialise. Some parents will resist. Adopting the Caroline Walker Trust guidelines will be a start towards good quality food that will improve not just children's health but their behaviour and concentration. People have to realise it's not just the food on the plate that matters, it's the whole approach in school to food. We have to re-educate people that real food doesn't come out of plastic containers.
"Overnight change doesn't work. You introduce something, you ask the kids, 'Do you like it?' You have got to have a conversation. You have to get the kids into your way of thinking, but also engage with them, explain to them why you are doing it. It's no good saying to a child, 'There's your dinner' and that's it."

Twelve Zodiacal Animals
|Korean Zodiacal Animal Screens, early 20th century, stone rubbings, ink on paper, twelve rubbings mounted on a pair of screens; anonymous loan|
July 11, 2009 - May 30, 2010
According to Chinese astrology and lunar calendar, the year 2009 is the year of the Ox, and 2010 the year of the Tiger. Stone rubbings representing the twelve zodiacal animals, mounted on a pair of screens, are on view at the Worcester Art Museum. The rubbings were made from the twelve large stone reliefs that surround the tomb of the Korean general Kim Yusin (595-673 A.D.), situated near Gyeongju, in southeastern Korea. Listed in order, the animals are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
An accomplished swordsman and field commander of the Kingdom of Silla, Kim Yusin devoted his life to the unification of the Three Kingdoms of the Korean peninsula. He was amply rewarded during his lifetime for his victorious feats and upon his death a tomb was built in his honor that rivaled that of kings. Encircling the outside of the tomb, the twelve zodiacal animal reliefs are positioned in accordance with the points of the compass that the animals traditionally guard. As protectors of Kim Yusin's soul, the animals are depicted with human bodies and garments, and bearing weapons.Detail

Foreword Reviews
Making Eden
How Plants Transformed a Barren Planet
Making Eden is a sweeping history of plant evolution that demonstrates both the development and fragility of plant life.
Natural sciences professor David Beerling's book is a comprehensive evolutionary history that traces the birth and maturity of this planet's plants. Sound and alluring, it exposes readers to phenomena like the remarkable complexity of plants, the genetic commonality that enables an incredible variety of flowers, and the fascinating biological secret behind the resilience of redwood trees that flourish despite their immense size.
One of the book's key focuses is the interrelationship of plants and animals. "Our brains are wired to notice animals, not plants," Beerling writes, yet plant life is "a prerequisite for sustaining a consumer society of land-dwelling animals." He makes a strong case that plants "paved the way for the evolution of terrestrial animals, and ultimately led to the appearance of human beings." Plants were, are, and will continue to be essential to the well-being of human beings, says Beerling.
The text also addresses the negative impact that humans have on plants and the Earth in general. Growing populations and increased agricultural production have imperiled the Earth to the extent that plant species are likely to risk extinction, albeit slow extinction. This reality, in combination with climate change, suggests the need for fundamental change.
One cannot help but be humbled by the sophistication and abundance of nature and plant life promulgated on Earth. That story unfolds with beauty in Making Eden. While David Beerling is cautiously optimistic, he also argues that we must "reject the grim alternative future of sending our emerald planet back to the drab world of the distant past."

After 6 months - fix available for Microsoft DNS cache poisoning attack Nov 13 2007 06:26PM

After 6 months - fix available for Microsoft DNS cache poisoning
On April this year I discovered a new vulnerability that enables
DNS cache poisoning attack against the Windows DNS server. Today
now publicly available, I can finally share my research finding
with you.
type of attack but a different vulnerability and a different DNS
server. It's interesting that both BIND and Microsoft had
different, and at the same time fundamentally flawed
implementations of DNS (with Microsoft's implementation being
more easily predictable than those of BIND).
Using this attack an attacker can remotely poison the cache of
who use this DNS server to reach fraudulent websites each time
they try to access real websites.
Windows DNS Server (part of Windows 2003 Server and Windows 2000
The concept of DNS cache poisoning was discussed many times
before. However, this attack was considered impractical for the
leading industrial DNS servers due to the transaction ID
mechanism that DNS servers implement today. The transaction ID is
supposed to be a secure, random number that the attacker must
transaction ID values which make enumeration impractical in the
current network conditions.
The weakness I found is in the transaction ID generation
algorithm of Windows DNS Server. By observing a few consecutive
transaction IDs from the same DNS server an attacker can predict
its next value.
This weakness can be turned into a mass attack in the following
starts a chain reaction that eventually poisons the DNS server's
cache (subject to some standard conditions) and associates
that use this DNS server will now reach the fraudulent website
each time they try to reach the real website.
The algorithm for predicting the transaction ID is very simple.

Microsoft were informed on April 30th, and patched versions of
Windows DNS Server are now available on their website (see
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS07-062 and Microsoft Knowledge Base
Article 941672).

PS - as a side note, this vulnerability was originally scheduled
for the October patch Tuesday, but due to some implementation
issues, it was postponed by one month.

Ask Mr. Smarty Plants
Smoking mint instead of tobacco from Fairfield CA
Author: Barbara Medford
Date: Saturday - March 23, 2013
From: Fairfield, CA
QUESTION: I realize this is a stupid question, but i am a little curious about this. Anyway I heard more people are smoking mint leaves to help cure their addiction to tobacco and i was wondering if it is safe? I know that smoking in general is bad, but i want to know if there is anything specific in mint that can harm the lungs.
There are several reasons why this question falls out of Mr. Smarty Plant's expertise. Our focus is on the growth, propagation and protection of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which those plants grow naturally. There are170 plants in the Lamiaceae (mint) family native to North America, but you are probably asking about the mints native to the Meditteranean area of Europe, widely used for fragrance and food flavoring. So that's the first reason we wouldn't be able to answer questions about smoking it. The second reason is that our first name is "Smarty," which precludes our making any comment at all on the wisdom of sticking any burning plant in our mouth and inhaling the fumes.

The conventional wisdom was that already-compressed files cannot be compressed again.
However, a new exquisite image compression technology that had been viewed as unobtainable by many has been successfully developed by a Korean image processing guru for the first time in the world. Hyoung Joong Kim, professor at Graduate School of Information Security, Korea Univ. has succeeded in compressing image files in the JPEG format (a standard method of lossy plus lossless compression for digital photography).
Generally speaking, the probability of every symbol is put to use at the final stage of bit-rate reduction or data compression. Since compression algorithms have fully exploited the probability of every symbol, making attempts to compress them again by reusing the probability of each symbol is impossible. Therefore, Kim has come up with a trailblazing data compression method: hiding information in compressed files using a reversible data hiding technique. His compression algorithm embeds message into the compressed bit stream, and hidden information can be extracted and compared with the uncompressed image states.

Learn 6 Irish Expressions Before Going To Ireland
chat irish phrases
There are more than 50 countries in the world where English is spoken as an official language, and of course, as everyone knows, English is currently the most important language to learn, especially if the person's goal is to travel, live in one of these countries or even succeed grow professionally.
Ireland is one of the countries most sought after by Brazilians to exchange and learn English, but what many do not know is that the Irish accent and expressions can be very different from those shown in Hollywood films. So if you are going to Ireland or are already in the country and want to learn more, get to know these 6 expressions to help you in your daily life.
1. Sure Look It
This expression is a suitable answer to almost any question or situation. It is good to remember that it should not be translated literally to try to understand, because it will not work. But it is almost as if that expression could suit any context, even one in which you are not sure what to say. Here is an example:
A: "Isn't it a bad weather out there."
B: "Ah, sure look at it."
2. The Jacks
Believe it or not, in Ireland there is a different nickname for the bathroom. You will hardly see anyone saying "restroom", the most common would be "toilet" or the nickname "The Jacks", the reason? It is not known for certain, some people speculate that it may be due to a term that was used in the 16th century. The nickname is more common for public restrooms. Example: "I need to find the jacks"
3. Yoke
Do you know the special way of the miner saying "train" for basically everything? That's almost it! In Ireland you can speak Yoke in place of "thing", which means "thing" in English.
In some moments when people forget the name of an object or even not quite the name, then they substitute the name for Yoke to be able to express themselves.
Example: "Can you pass me that yoke near the pan?"
4. Locked
This expression basically means 'drunk'. In Ireland, several expressions are used for this same definition. Irony of fate? I do not think so. haha Jokes aside. Some of the other expressions are: polluted, twisted, moldy, among others.
Example: "You were so locked in that party"
5. What's the craic?
It could be "What's up?" if it weren't for being in Ireland. The expression means something like "How are you?" or "What's going on" and the word CRAIC or CRACK is a term for news, gossip and entertainment.
Example: "Hey! What's the craic?"
6. Grand
Despite the similarity with the word 'grande' in Portuguese, this is not the meaning of this expression! While in other countries this word would mean 'incredible' and 'splendid', in Ireland it would be 'very well' or 'satisfactory'. Irish people can respond as they say "I am grand" or it can even be used to express that everything is fine, say someone apologizes for some reason, it is possible to answer only "No problem, you're grand".

What is the difference between Zoloft and Wellbutrin?
 - Q: What is the difference between Zoloft and Wellbutrin?
 - A: Zoloft is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) Zoloft stops the body from breaking down serotonin, therefore increasing serotonin levels. Serotonin is a chemical in the body that helps with mood. Zoloft can be used for depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Wellbutrin is considered a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. It increases the amount of dopamine available in the body. Dopamine is also a chemical that plays a role in mood. Wellbutrin can be used for depression, seasonal affective disorder and smoking cessation. Both medications may also be used for purposes other than those listed. This information is solely informational. It's important to consult with your physician or healthcare provider about any specific questions regarding your medical conditions or medications; particularly before taking any action.

THE CONFLICT AND RESOLUTION IN THE FABLE
'THE FOX AND THE GRAPES'
Aesop's fable, "The Fox and the Grapes" is a about a fox who finds a bunch of grapes hanging from a vine and attempts to reach the grapes. In the end, the fox is unable to acquire the grapes and gives up saying that the grapes are sour.
There are three levels of conflict in this fable and the first occurs within the fox itself. The thirst of the fox is the initial conflict that disturbs the established order within the creature.
It is because of this thirst that, instead of walking on along its carefree way, the fox decides to stop and take a chance at getting the grapes. The reason why the 'thirst factor' is described as an internal conflict is because this particular phenomenon happens to the fox itself. It is an event that causes a shift in the otherwise passive characterization of the fox. This first conflict is what makes the fox stop in its tracks and attempt to acquire the grapes which "had been trained over a lofty branch." (Æsop, 600 BC).
Then, upon seeing this bunch of grapes hanging from a branch, another conflict is introduced which we could call the external/environmental/circumstantial conflict – the grapes being out of the fox's reach. While the grapes could easily be located in an area that is within the reach of the fox, this is not the case, hence, we may consider this particular detail in the fable a conflict in itself. This particular detail in the fable serves to disturb the normalcy of the tale by the circumstance surrounding the object of desire, which is the bunch of grapes; and could therefore be considered a conflict.

With these two elements of the story combined, we are then introduced to a third and final conflict which is a result of the internal conflict occurring within the fox and the external conflict that is seen in the environment. This third and final conflict may be referred to as the consequential conflict which is another conflict that results from the other conflicts that were initially introduced. This third conflict is characterized by the efforts of the fox to reach for the bunch of grapes, and is clear in the passage, "Drawing back a few paces, he took a run and a jump, and just missed the bunch. Turning round again with a One, Two, Three, he jumped up, but with no greater success. Again and again he tried…" (Æsop, 600 BC) This particular conflict is now between the fox and the bunch of grapes, but is a result of the two minor initial conflicts of the fox's thirst and the grapes being located beyond the fox's reach. Conflicts in stories can be seen in various elements of the tale, as is with any other tale. Sometimes the conflict can only be in the major character, the circumstances surrounding a particular event, the setting, or a combination of all of these.
Finally, in the end, the fox "at last had to give it up, and walked away with his nose in the air" (Æsop, 600 BC). This now is the story's resolution. The resolution of the story is referred to as the consequential result of all the events that took place in the story. This usually follows the 'cause and effect' principle; hence, the thirst of the fox made him attempt to acquire a bunch of grapes that were beyond his reach; all these elements led to one thing – the fox's giving up its attempt to acquire the grapes and walk away saying that the "grapes are sour". (Æsop, 600 BC). The story resolution is therefore the final action of the fox, which is to stop yearning for the grapes and just simply dismiss the item and walk away. The story is thus resolved.

Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea
The island of Bioko is a mass of earth of volcanic origin with a surface area of just over 2000 km2. It is located in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of Cameroon and Gabon. There are two seasons: a dry season (November to March) and a rainy season (April to October). The average annual temperature is 25 0C. Rainfall varies from 1930 mm in the north to 10990 mm in the south. About 40% of the island is inaccessible by land due to the dense tropical forest.
The island is made up of small slow rivers where blackfly vectors of the Simulium damnosum complex – S. yahense Bioko form – breed.
There are an estimated 90 000 people living on Bioko Island. The island is the only island known to be endemic with onchocerciasis. The geographical location of the island protects it from re-invasion of the blackfly.
Large scale aerial and ground larviciding started in 2003, and aerial spraying continued in 2005. Environmental assessment surveys showed no detrimental environmental impact of these vector control activities.
Ivermectin distribution started in 1990. Community-directed treatment with ivermectin started in 2000.
In 2005, the Simulium yahense Bioko form was eliminated from Bioko Island. Reinforcement of community-directed treatment with ivermectin is expected to lead to rapid elimination of onchocerciasis.
