SunEdison cancels 2.7GW of Brazilian power asset acquisition
2 December 2015	(Last Updated December 2nd, 2015 18:30)
US-based renewable energy giant SunEdison has terminated previously announced transactions by its yieldco TerraForm Global, which involved acquisition of 2.7GW of wind and hydro power projects in Brazil.
The firm has cancelled the $250m securities purchase agreement with Brazilian energy group Light and entitled the firm to own 16% stake in Renova Energia.
It has also negated another agreement to buy certain development-stage projects from Renova between 2016 and 2020.
The 'backlog agreement' would have added 12 wind and hydro-electric projects to Terraform's portfolio.
"While it is disappointing that the agreement was terminated, we remain committed to Brazil."
The projects are estimated to have a combined value of approximately $4bn.
The 50:50 joint venture with Renova, however, remains active, SunEdison said, which is aimed at the development of 1GW of utility scale solar photovoltaic projects in Brazil.
SunEdison chief financial officer and TerraForm Global chief executive officer Brian Wuebbels said: "While it is disappointing that the agreement was terminated, we remain committed to Brazil.
"In addition, Renova remains a valued partner and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them on our solar development joint venture."
SunEdison is heavily indebted at present, which is likely to have resulted in the cancellation of the deals, reports pv-magazine.
The firm had announced certain measures to raise capital, which involves a decision to stop divestment of its projects into its yieldcos, and scaling back of its acquisition deals.

A single sentence on the back of Chandima Rajapatirana's t-shirt reads 'nothing is impossible'. As far as personal mottos go, this one suits its wearer to a tee. Diagnosed with autism and apraxia as a four- year- old, Chandima has defied the prediction of specialists. The man who they recommended should be institutionalised is today a poet, writer, activist and teacher. Having been silent for 18 years of his life, it took a simple technique known as Facilitated Communication to allow him to begin communicating for the first time. Letter by letter, he typed out his heart's desire – Chandima wanted to live a life purpose.
Anoja and Chandima: Opening new worlds and below sessions at E.A.S.E.
In 2007, The Sunday Times ran our first story about Chandima. A month later, in September, he and his mother Anoja co-founded E.A.S.E (Educate, Advocate, Support, Empower) and got down to the hard work. First with house visits and more recently at a rented space off Malabe road, the two have been working not only with families and children but also with groups of young trainees and teachers. They've addressed specialists at international conferences and children in school auditoriums – arguing for the rights of the differently-abled.
Chamira Gunatilaka is nearly 14 years old and today he and his mother Nirosha Gunatilake have taken a two and half hour bus ride for their bi-monthly session with Anoja and Chandima. Mrs. Gunatilake tells me the boy sitting calmly on the chair beside her used to be nearly unmanageable – so much so that no one else was willing to take care of him and she had to quit her job to stay home with her extremely hyperactive son. Just six months into his visits with Anoja and Chammi, things have changed for the better, in part because Chamira has learned how to use two words – 'yes' and 'no'.
That gifts of communication, choice and respect, have turned Chandima's life around and he clearly recognizes what it can do for others trapped in the 'silent abyss'. Without exception, the parents talk about children who were so hyperactive and disruptive that they required dedicated attention – one says her child would smash everything he could lay his hands on at home, another confesses that she tried to punish such behaviour out of her son but did not succeed.
Yet, as they have been shown new ideas to engage their minds and as they have found ways to make themselves heard on the simplest things, each child has changed their difficult behaviours without that ever having been directly addressed.
Like Chamira, 11-year-old Malitha Gunasinghe has mastered 'yes' and 'no' and seems to delight in simply communicating with his mother, Nirosha Gunasinghe. Today, he heads straight to his classroom and seems surprised that class doesn't start right away. Before she met Chandima, Mrs. Gunasinghe says she was content to hope that her son would one day be able to take care of himself. Now, she has much greater ambitions for him. As if to indicate his agreement, Malitha laughs and vocalises from his perch on a chair nearby.
The two are among 16 families that regularly visit E.A.S.E. Three teachers: Achini Sooriyarachchi, Kanchanamala Seneviratne and S.M. Swarna Dayakanthi help Anoja and Chandima give each student individual attention. As they teach, they learn. Chandima is my boss, says Kanchanamala, smiling explaining that he gives them insight into their charges. Until we met him, we didn't know that people like him could be competent or intelligent, says Swarna candidly, adding that it was from Chandima that they learnt that if people like him were different in some ways, they were the same in the ways that matter. In our society, if something is wrong with a person, we discard the whole person, she says explaining that now she knows differently.
Kanchanamala tells me that teachers here must master patience and Swarna adds that they must be strong, but Anoja also prizes other virtues – creativity and playfulness. When Nirmana Madiwela first came to the centre, he was just over three years old. His mother, Nirmala Jayaweera couldn't convince him to come in. He screamed for two hours she says, adding when she told Anoja that Nirmana loved water, they set up a small tub outside for him to play in. That's where Nirmana stayed for his next three sessions until they found a way to entice him in.
Anoja and Chandima believe that their protégés will learn best if, like Dilan, they choose to engage with their teachers. "When they play alongside us, imitate us and join us they have taken a step into our world, of their own free will, they feel safe," says Anoja, adding, "Play is how a child learns, and it is the most important thing a child can do." And the adults are no exception. Romesh Wijeyesekera is 37 years old, (the same age as Chandima) and he's one of the first in this group to use FC. Rocking back and forth and humming quietly, he types out that he loves "playing games" with his friend.
Romesh was born in England where he was diagnosed with autism as a three-year-old. Seeking the comfort and support of their families, his parents brought him back to Sri Lanka. He met Chandima three years ago, and has taken to F.C with considerable enthusiasm. "I feel happy now that I can communicate," he tells me, explaining that "I have a lot of movement difficulties. I need help with my hand." (While typing, Romesh will sometimes hit himself on the head, as if to get his brain to cooperate.) For Esha Wijeyesekera, Romesh's progress is something to be celebrated but Chandima's role goes beyond that of a mentor. He and Romesh are friends, she says, adding that even Achini who works with Romesh treats him as such.
Having refused to allow his condition to isolate him, normal friendships and engagement with the real world are both things that Chandima thrives on. The best advice he ever gave Nuwan Jayasiri* and his mother Ranmali* may have been to ask her to send Nuwan to pre-school. At just 3 ½ years old, Nuwan took a little time to settle in, but now has classmates who press affectionate hugs on him, says his mother adding that he's always eager to go to school. If he's ill, Nuwan will stand by the window, crying in disappointment at being deprived. The young boy is the perfect example of how differently-abled children and their normal peers can thrive in each other's company and Anoja and Chandima hope that more will be given the chance to do so.
On the wall behind us is a sign written in Sinhala that says 'burdens lifted together are lighter.' Chandima wrote it as an explanation for the participants of their first Parent Support Group meeting. Chinthaka Godahewa is here with his six-year-old son Panasara and the group is one of his favourite things about E.A.S.E. When Panasara was diagnosed with autism he says they scoured the internet looking for information, but now they learn new things at the centre. Mr. Godahewa says he and his wife appreciate that they are asked to take such an active part in their son's sessions; instead of being asked to stand outside the classroom they are taught how to do it themselves. Having met Chandima and educated himself about FC, Mr. Godahewa says he now has hope for Panasara, a structure and a goal to work toward. Chandima is his role model – he imagines that Panasara will be like his bigger friend one day.

BELMONT STAKES WINNER SIR WINSTON POINTING TOWARDS WOODCHOPPER
Contact: Grant LaGrange
Racing Media Relations Coordinator
Barn Notes: Sunday, December 8, 2019
⦁ Belmont Winner Sir Winston Points to Woodchopper
⦁ Preakness Winner War Of Will Getting Time Off
Tracy Farmer's Sir Winston, who has not raced since posting a 10-1 upset in the Belmont Stakes (G1) in June, posted a bullet half-mile work of :47 3/5 (fastest of 90) on Sunday morning at Fair Grounds for trainer Mark Casse and top assistant David Carroll, who handles the local string.
After running a game second in the Peter Pan Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct in early May, the 3-year-old son of Awesome Again entered the final jewel of racing's Triple Crown as a fresh horse. The beneficiary of a brilliant ride from Joel Rosario, Sir Winston saved ground and got the jump on the favored Tacitus, who was forced to race wide. He held off that foe by a length in the 1 ½ mile marathon.
After that signature victory, the Mark Casse trainee was sent to the sidelines, spending time at the Casse Training Center in Ocala, Florida. Starting on October 23, he posted six published works there prior to arriving at Fair Grounds.
"He shipped in a couple of days ago and he galloped Saturday," Carroll said. "We were looking to just get his feet over the track today in a breeze. The track seemed fast early on, and he's not normally a good work horse, but this morning he went quick and did it very nicely."
"Huge credit to Mitch Downs and crew at Ocala who took him in after the Belmont and have nursed him back," Carroll continued. "They have done a terrific job getting him back to this stage and condition wise he looks excellent. We'll do something more serious with him next weekend and continue getting him ready to go"
Sir Winston is being pointed to the listed Woodchopper Stakes (December 28), scheduled to be run over a mile of turf. In a ten-race career, he's run only one other time on grass, but he does have two wins over Woodbine's synthetic Tapeta surface.
"It's (restricted to) 3-year-olds and we need to get him started somewhere," Carroll explained. "That's the most logical spot to get him back. Like I said he's not the easiest work horse in the morning so sometimes he needs some racing to get back into form, but we are really happy with Sunday morning's work the way he's been since we've got him back."
"We're looking for a good 4-year-old year with him and the way he's been so far we have no complaints," Carroll continued. "It's always exciting having the Belmont winner in the barn."
LECOMTE, RISEN STAR & PREAKNESS WINNER WAR OF WILL GETTING TIME OFF
Following a highly successful and somewhat adventurous 2019 campaign, Gary Barber's War of Will is enjoying some well-deserved time off.
Last winter/spring at Fair Grounds, the 3-year-old son of War Front stamped himself as a Triple Crown force to be reckoned with, taking both the LeComte (G3) and the Risen Star presented by Lamarque Ford (G2) in highly impressive fashion.
An awkward start from the gate cost him a fair shot in the Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby (G2), and after recovering quickly from a strained muscle in his right hind end suffered in that event, he would finish a troubled eighth (placed seventh) at Churchill Downs in the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve (G1). He won the Preakness (G1) two weeks later at Pimilco, but failed to finish better than third in his final four starts of the season.
"Right now he's on the farm," assistant trainer David Carroll explained. "We planned on giving him a break after the Breeders' Cup (ninth in the Classic). He didn't miss any dance as a 3-year-old (ninth in the Belmont) so he's getting a well-deserved break. He'll be at the farm for the foreseeable future and when the time is right, we'll map out a plan for next year."
The son of War Front posts a career record of 14-4-1-2 with earnings of $1,615,569. The Mark Casse trained 3-year-old started nine times in 2019, and earned over $1.4 million throughout the year, including his Preakness triumph.

Granite Broadcasting Chairman/CEO Don Cornwell and COO John Deushane are both stepping down, the station group confirmed Tuesday. Peter Markham, a Granite board member since 2007, will take over as chairman. Duane Lammers, a consultant to the company, has been named COO.
Cornwell founded the company along with Stuart Beck in 1988 after spending 17 years in the investment banking division of Goldman Sachs. Under Cornwell's leadership, Granite grew through acquisitions to become a 23-channel group which reached 11 markets and penetrated six percent of U.S. TV households.
Deushane began his career at WEEK Peoria (Ill.) in the mid-1970s. He served as a general manager of KSEE Fresno (Calif.), KEYE Austin, KRCG Columbia/Jefferson City (Mo.) and WEEK. He was named COO of the station group in 2002.
Our annual list of the 25 largest TV station groups—based on data from BIA/Kelsey—proves that with companies wholly focused on getting bigger, it's never been more difficult to keep the local broadcast pecking order straight.

Top Bodybuilding Gurus Predict the Mr. Olympia Top 6
Dennis James went big for the 100th episode of "The Menace Podcast."
by Roger Lockridge
The 100th episode of The Menace Podcast was a star-studded affair. Host Dennis James was joined by a variety of bodybuilding legends and gurus, including Prime Time Muscle co-host Chris Cormier, Milos Sarcev, George Farah, Chris Aceto, Chad Nicholls, and yes, Lee Priest.
In traditional Menace form, DJ didn't beat around the bush when it came to putting the guests on the spot. He asked each guest to give his Mr. Olympia top six predictions at the 9.5 week out mark. Aceto left the chat before this segment, but Farah offered a top six, but didn't elaborate on positioning.
"The top ten will be Ramy, Andrew (Jacked), Brandon (Curry), Blessing (Awodibu), Hadi (Choopan), (William) Bonac," Farah said like he was doing a roll-call. Sarcev was up next, and he didn't hesitate on his picks at all.
"Ramy, Hadi, Samson, Brandon, Bonac, and Andrew," he said clearly. Nicholls had to take time to think about it, except who the champion will be because he coaches the current Mr. Olympia, Big Ramy.
"I know both of my guys, Ramy and Bonac, are going to be in the top six," Nicholls said. "I've got Nick Walker in the top six, I've got Andrew Jacked in the top six, Hadi, and Hunter," he said while making note that 2019 Mr. Olympia Brandon Curry is out of his top six. "I think Brandon falls this year."
Cormier was up next, and he went with Elssbiay, Jacked, Labrada, Bonac, Choopan, and Curry for his top six. Priest followed with Elssbiay, Bonac, Dauda, Jacked, Choopan, and Curry if he comes in good condition. His alternate outside of Curry was Walker.

Built in 1933 in the historic center of Quito, the 2,200-seat Bolivar Theater became the city's most opulent movie palace and premier performance venue. The building was designed by the famous American theater architects Hoffman and Henon in a lavish eclectic style, combining art deco, Spanish, and classical motifs. Throughout its 72-year history, it played host to luminaries from the world of music and ballet including the Beriozka Ballet of Russia, the Ballet Clásico de Madrid of Spain, and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra with Leonard Bernstein in 1958 and Zubin Mehta in 1978. In August 1999 a fire severely damaged the theater, only two years after it had been completely restored. The fire destroyed large portions of the roof and upper seating areas, prompting the closure of most of the building. Following the disaster, the Fundación Teatro Bolivar was established to restore the theater. The organization became the new owner of the site and began raising money to return it to use.
After the fire, Teatro Bolivar's interiors were damaged by rain, snow, and volcanic ash that permeated the temporary roof structure. In addition, chandeliers and decorative elements were removed from the building by looters. Fundación Teatro Bolivar has since been working to stabilize and restore the theater, but progress is only possible as funds become available. The building was included on the 2004 World Monuments Watch, and in 2006 funds from the Robert W. Wilson Challenge to Conserve Our Heritage facilitated the restoration of the foyer and the creation of a rehabilitation plan for the structure. Resources from the local Fondo de Salvamento del Patrimonio Cultural and the government of the Federal Republic of Germany were used for wall stabilization, the rehabilitation of the stage, the installation of fire safety systems, thermal and acoustic insulation, and mural conservation in the main hall.
While machinery and electrics of the Bolivar Theater are now up to code and parts of the building have been restored, much work is still required in order to return this cultural landmark to its former glory. The Bolivar Theater was reopened to the public in early 2016 after being closed for three years by the former Mayor of Quito. During its period of closure the building played host to private performances, but advocates are hopeful that the restoration process will be easier with the increased visitors and funding that public access could bring to the site.
The Bolivar Theater occupies an important place in the cultural life of Quito, while also exemplifying the reach of the art deco movement and the romance of American movie palaces. Its conservation history is an inspiring example of the impact that persistent local advocates can have in the preservation process.

......ya know the ones ( )Pirelli, Join up etc.....all the marketable ones. Is there any that you think are really good? Do you do your own thing? Or, do you take bits and peices from experience and what you read and need?
Has anyone ever had a local trainer come to do some work with them? And, what did you think?
I have used some of old Monty's suggestions on Astra and they went down very well.......can see where Mr (fat as a tyre) Pirelli is coming from in some aspects......have probably taken a bit on board about methods and ideology.
I do tend to mish and mash idea's around coz at the end of the day nowt is cast in stone and you can never stop learning and what is right for one animal, might not be right for another.
well,,, personally i dont really go along much with all the NH people. They are clever in there marketing. I think all they are doing is getting people to spend actual time with there horses and use common sense.
I've always found Paul Dufresne a fab bloke..........he's Canadian and got a good head on his shoulders.
think you'd like him Nat...........not a trainer as such........just a good horse bloke.
I have AP book, its very good and well worth the read. Bought it of e-bay Nick for a few quid, its deffo worth buying if you can get a copy.

UAE looks to make Emirati social housing projects more liveable and sustainable
Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme raises benefits of green community planning
Habiba Al Marashi, co-vice chair of Emirates Green Building Council, speaking at Dubai Chamber. Leslie Pableo / The National
The UAE government is investing to ensure that future Emirati housing communities are more sustainable.
Mohammed Al Mansouri, executive director of engineering at the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme, spoke about new projects at the Green Homes in the UAE Focus Day, held at Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The organisation has provided social housing for 59,000 beneficiaries since its inception in 1999. It has completed 36,000 homes for Emiratis, at a cost of Dh31 billion.
The figures were revealed yesterday at the event organised by Emirates Green Building Council as part of World Green Building Week.
Mr Al Mansouri
said the biggest challenge in sustainable housing was convincing people that benefits outweighed the costs.
"People want to feel an instant impact and don't have the patience to see it as a long-term investment, they look at it as a useless addition when it comes to the final price of their home," he said.
"We also faced challenges with local government authorities when we tried to convince them to change their codes to sustainable ones."
Habiba Al Marashi, co-vice chair of Emirates Green Building Council. Leslie Pableo / The National
The move to residential housing communities was better for homeowners, who might otherwise build their own properties, and for the authorities.
"There are often hidden expenses in the building of individual houses, and people are not always aware of the risks involved when it comes to the individual market prices. Quite often the contracts are not clear either," said Mr Al Mansouri.
"Residential neighbourhoods keep them away from all of this hassle."
The Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme has completed seven integrated residential neighbourhoods across the UAE, comprising 1,570 villas, with another three projects under construction for 1,990 units. Another three projects at the planning and design stage, for 1,260 villas.
"When we reach the year 2025, 7,200 villas will be delivered to UAE citizens by the Sheikh Zayed Housing Programme," he said.
The waiting list for social housing is 2.76 years, but Mr Al Mansouri, said he expected this to fall to two years by 2021.
The programme also provides loans to Emiratis who want to buy or build a new home, or for maintenance or an extension on their existing property.
If the applicant's loan is more than Dh10,000 it must be paid back, but this is interest-free.
If the applicant's salary is Dh15,000 or less, it is repaid at Dh1,666 a month over 25 years. If the salary is above Dh15,000, 13.4 per cent of the salary is deducted for repayments.
In February, the UAE announced a Dh7.2 billion project to provide 7,270 homes for Emiratis by 2021.

The focus day event also raised the issue of lack of awareness of environmental matters among the public.
"The level of public awareness about green issues is quite low," said Aref Abou Zhar, executive director of energy efficiency company Taqati.
Mr Zhar's company is a subsidiary under the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, to reduce utility consumption by 30 per cent by 2030. But he said a survey showed only 30 per cent of people were aware of it.
Amer Arafat, technical manager of Dubai Carbon, said: "In February, we ran a scheme in Hatta offering to install solar panels in people's homes for free. A lot of people declined it, even though it was free, so we have a challenge to change attitudes."
The project, with Dewa, targeted 640 homes , with 400 homeowners opting for solar panel installation.

Pasture, Rangeland and Forage
Livestock Risk Protection
Livestock Gross Margin
USDA's FCIC Insurance Board has Unique Opportunity to Help Livestock Producers
Aug 8, 2018 | News & Updates
Little-known insurance program could be producers' lifeline during current market volatility.
It's a challenging time for agriculture. Trade wars are brewing. Prices are down. Interest rates are going up. Producers are worried about their bottom- line.
We often blame Congress. But they deserve enormous credit for recently making a change to the crop insurance program that will be looked back upon, for livestock and dairy producers, as every bit as consequential or more than Farm Bill passage. On February 8th Congress eliminated a $20 million cap on the sales of livestock insurance products. The $20 million cap has led to livestock insurance programs being shut down and stifled innovation that could benefit the livestock sector. Yet, thanks to Congress, USDA now has the authority to provide livestock producers with risk management tools that would have been impossible 7 months ago.
This change already allowed USDA's FCIC Board of Directors (FCIC Board) to approve Farm Bureau's Dairy Revenue program. A vital program for the dairy sector, that, but for the removal of the cap, would have been unable to operate. Now, the challenge is delivering the product to dairy farmers as quickly as possible to meet today's extraordinary needs. Having worked with the team at the Risk Management Agency who is responsible for delivering new insurance programs, I couldn't be more confident that they will deliver for America's dairy producers.
The next big decision facing the FCIC Board is whether they will improve risk management options for cattle and pork producers. At their meeting in August, they must decide whether to approve improvements to the Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) plan of insurance. LRP is a market-based program that uses futures prices and allows cattle and swine producers to insure against unexpected price declines. LRP offers protection against unpredictable market downturns – exactly what producers need today.
Due to statutory language that requires USDA to keep a "reasonable reserve" most crop producers receive a 50% discount on their premium. That is why crop insurance is affordable and participation is strong. However, for LRP there is effectively no discount. That made sense with a $20 million cap. It doesn't make sense today. And with today's market volatility and struggling ag economy, it needs to be changed. Soon.
The developer of LRP, with strong support from livestock producers, has requested the FCIC Board make LRP more affordable by providing producers around a 22% discount. That's half of what an average corn farmer receives and well below Livestock Gross Margin-Dairy — and likely well below the recently approved Dairy Revenue Program. As an agent, I have found that sometimes the producers who need insurance the most cannot afford the premiums. This change will make a real difference for those producers.
Besides affordability, LRP has struggled to offer producers adequate insurance options, especially for producers who want insurance against longer-term price declines, such as 9-12 months in the future. The LRP developer has requested additional flexibility, allowing significantly more options for livestock producers and providing better insurance that matches when producers want coverage.
Times are challenging for agriculture producers. Secretary Perdue recently announced measures that will help agriculture's producers in these uncertain times. The FCIC Board has the opportunity to help the Secretary. For livestock producers, improving LRP, a market-based safety-net program where producers have skin in the game would be a strong step in the right direction. Congress did its part. Now, USDA's FCIC Board has the opportunity to improve the safety net for America's livestock producers.

Dr Sally Norton, NHS Weight Loss Consultant & Surgeon and founder of www.vavista.com & www.vavista-awards.com talks you through the four simple things you need to think about for a successful weight-loss journey.
WHO – There is often a certain person around whom you eat much less healthily. It could be that they have a habit of suggesting you get another bottle of wine, or order a dessert. Or perhaps they're the person in the office who always brings in irresistible cakes and biscuits that you struggle to say no to. Try to get them on board with your healthier eating too – otherwise, be forewarned and avoid!
WHERE – Is there a certain place where your healthy eating habits are most-tested? A coffee shop on the way to work? Re-route. Going out to restaurants? Check the menu online in advance and plan your choices so you are less swayed by temptation when you're there. The staff canteen where the stodgy option is the cheapest? Take a healthy but delicious lunch to work with you.
WHY – Far too many of us simply don't pay any attention to the reasons why we eat – are we actually hungry? Or is it that we're stressed, bored, angry? Taking a moment to stop and ask yourself that question before you tuck in may help you understand your eating patterns a bit more – and perhaps you can find a different way to deal with the emotion.
WHEN – Finally, when are your danger times for giving in to those less-than-healthy cravings? Do you find yourself reaching for a sugary treat at work at around 2/3pm – otherwise known as the mid afternoon slump? More than likely you have had a sugary or processed lunch and sent your sugar levels awry. Opt instead for slow release energy from protein, wholegrains, healthy fats and veg.
Have you eaten enough during the day or do you come home ravenous? Have a snack mid-afternoon to avoid those fridge raids as you walk in the door. Do you tend to pick in the evenings after your meal? Find a means of distraction – or start getting to bed earlier and get a really good night's sleep which will help you make healthier choices the next day too.
It's all pretty obvious when you think about – but so many people think they can just cut back on food and rely on willpower to lose weight. Unless you understand your 'who, where, why and when' weak spots, your willpower will fail you – guaranteed!

In contrast with Cyprus, a lack of political will among Greece's political parties and appetite for cooperation has kept the country locked in a painful bailout programme, experts have warned. EURACTIV Greece reports.
At an event organised yesterday (23 March) by the Secretariat of International Relations, the centre-right New Democracy Party (ND) and the Democratic Rally of Cyprus (DISY-EPP affiliated), policy-makers and experts showed off the "good practices" that Cyprus implemented in order to get out of its crisis, as well as shocking figures about the Greek economy.
Greece's GDP was reduced from €242 billion at the beginning of the crisis to €175 billion: a 27% decrease. Moreover, during the crisis, investments decreased by 65%, salaries dropped by 29% and employees lost €40 billion over seven years.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras sent yesterday (23 March) a letter to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker asking if the bloc's acquis communautaire applies to all EU countries without exception or it's applicable to all except Greece.
Giannis Smyrlis, ND's secretary of international relations and the EU, told euractiv.gr that "the case of Cyprus has some good practices that need to be highlighted and suggested as solutions without magic sticks […] real solutions that have been tried and succeed and could be implemented in Greece as well".
Following a series of structural changes such as a restriction of the public sector through a scale-back in recruitment and balanced budgets, Nicosia managed to successfully emerge from its bailout programme earlier than expected in April 2016.
Secretary of the Cabinet of Cyprus Theodosis Tsiolas elaborated on the measures taken by his country and the subsequent initiatives of the Cypriot government.
Experts noted that the most important measure was the support of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which have been granted €125 million up to 2020 from the European Investment Bank and other funds from the European Reconstruction and Development Bank.
Marios Tsakis, a representative of the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that the growth rate is now positive and stood at 2.8% in 2016.
Regarding the banking sector, investments worth €1.4 billion took place, €4 billion was raised from a program providing permanent residence permit and large investments were being implemented with the participation of foreign investors mainly in the tourism sector.
Vasilis Korkidis, president of the National Confederation of Greek Commerce, warned that Athens remained locked in the crisis.
He told EURACTIV that since the entrance and exit from the Memorandum of Understanding there have been eight important dates and events in Cyprus.
In comparison, "in Greece, during these seven years in the memorandum we have 118 important dates with events, which unfortunately have not brought any results," he noted.
He stressed that in Cyprus there was a political will to achieve consensus and cooperation between the parties, something which is not the case in Greece.
Bank of Cyprus, the Mediterranean island's largest lender and one of the largest casualties of the financial crisis, yesterday (5 December) announced it had paid back in full the €11.4 billion in Emergency Liquidity Assistance it received in an international bailout.
New Democracy Vice President Costis Hatzidakis said that Greece had "penalized" the private sector and entrepreneurship.
"The idea we can invest without investors, entrepreneurs without employees and results without work, has prevailed," he told EURACTIV.
Asked if his party would vote for new measures in the parliament as Greece's creditors demand, he replied negatively and added that the "only solution to end the crisis is the shift toward gravity and common sense".
On the one side we discuss that disagreement with political parties has made it worst for people and the economy. On the other hand we still see that New Democracy is suggesting that only élections will save the situation. Greek politicians should be ashamed.

What are turbinates and how do they impact breathing? Turbinates are a normal, anatomic structure in the nose which serve to humidify and filter air. There are three sets of turbinates in the nose. The inferior turbinates (the lowest turbinate shown in picture) is the turbinate responsible for causing nasal blockage. When turbinates are excessively large, they may lead to blockage to one or both sides of the nose.
So what is a turbinate and what purpose does it serve? Turbinates are essentially nasal mucosa covering bone. They normally enlarge and contract to regulate airflow and humidify air. This is really important in drier areas such as the Southwest of the United States.
So why do turbinates get excessively enlarged? Turbinates swell when exposed to allergans, smoke, and pollution. When the swelling is severe enough, the turbinates can actually block airflow from the nose. If the turbinates are swollen for extended period, the patient may have permanently and irreversibly enlarged turbinates. The constant stimulation will cause the bony portion of the turbinate to become enlarged as well as some of the soft tissue of the turbinate itself. The turbinates play a larger role in ethnic nasal obstruction than nasal valves.
Treating turbinate hypertrophy usually starts with a medical approach. Identifying the cause of the turbinate hypertrophy can be useful, particularly if the patient is going to avoid the inciting cause. Sometimes, a nasal spray, such as a nasal steroid or an antihistamine spray can help reduce the size of the turbinate as well. When conservative measures do not work, turbinate surgey can be performed to help restore wide natural breathing.
There are many different techniques to decrease the size of turbinates. The key to turbinate reduction is to reduce the pathologically enlarged portion while maintaining the portion which humidifies and filters air. Cutting out the turbinate will provide the patient with immediate relief (last picture shown on right), at the expense of inability to humidify air and potential problem of persistent nasal crusting afterwards If you have ever traveled to a dry environment, your turbinates are extremely valuable in order to breathe comfortably from your nose by adding moisture to the dry air. Conservative turbinate reduction preserving the mucosa and removing the pathologically enlarged bony portion is my method of choice to improve breathing and maintain normal mucosa.
Coblation refers to a type of controlled, non-heat driven process that decrease the molecular bonds of tissues to effectively decrease the volume of tissue and can be used to improve nasal obstruction caused by enlarged turbinates.

Q: Javascript "while hovered" loop Can anybody help me on this one...I have a button which when is hovered, triggers an action. But I'd like it to repeat it for as long as the button is hovered.
I'd appreciate any solution, be it in jquery or pure javascript - here is how my code looks at this moment (in jquery):
var scrollingposition = 0;

$('#button').hover(function(){
++scrollingposition;
    $('#object').css("right", scrollingposition);
    });

Now how can i put this into some kind of while loop, so that #object is moving px by px for as #button is hovered, not just when the mouse enters it?

A: OK... another stab at the answer:
$('myselector').each(function () {
  var hovered = false;
  var loop = window.setInterval(function () {
    if (hovered) {
      // ...
    }
  }, 250);

  $(this).hover(
    function () {
      hovered = true;
    },
    function () {
      hovered = false;
    }
  );
});

The 250 means the task repeats every quarter of a second. You can decrease this number to make it faster or increase it to make it slower.

A: Nathan's answer is a good start, but you should also use window.clearInterval when the mouse leaves the element (mouseleave event) to cancel the repeated action which was set up using setInterval(), because this way the "loop" is running only when the mouse pointer enters the element (mouseover event).
Here is a sample code:
  function doSomethingRepeatedly(){
    // do this repeatedly when hovering the element
  }

  var intervalId;

  $(document).ready(function () {

    $('#myelement').hover(function () {
      var intervalDelay = 10;
      // call doSomethingRepeatedly() function repeatedly with 10ms delay between the function calls
      intervalId = setInterval(doSomethingRepeatedly, intervalDelay);
    }, function () {
      // cancel calling doSomethingRepeatedly() function repeatedly
      clearInterval(intervalId);
    });

  });

I created a sample code on jsFiddle which demonstrates how to scroll the background-image of an element left-to-right and then backwards on hover with the code shown above:
http://jsfiddle.net/Sk8erPeter/HLT3J/15/

A: If its an animation you can "stop" an animation half way through. So it looks like you're moving something to the left so you could do:
var maxScroll = 9999;
$('#button').hover(
    function(){ $('#object').animate({ "right":maxScroll+"px" }, 10000); },
    function(){ $('#object').stop(); } );

A: var buttonHovered = false;
$('#button').hover(function () {
  buttonHovered = true;
  while (buttonHovered) {
    ...
  }
},
function () {
  buttonHovered = false;
});

If you want to do this for multiple objects, it might be better to make it a bit more object oriented than a global variable though.
Edit:
Think the best way of dealing with multiple objects is to put it in an .each() block:
$('myselector').each(function () {
  var hovered = false;
  $(this).hover(function () {
    hovered = true;
    while (hovered) {
      ...
    }
  },
  function () {
    hovered = false;
  });
});

Edit2:
Or you could do it by adding a class:
$('selector').hover(function () {
  $(this).addClass('hovered');
  while ($(this).hasClass('hovered')) {
    ...
  }
}, function () {
  $(this).removeClass('hovered');
});

A: var scrollingposition = 0;

$('#button').hover(function(){
    var $this = $(this);
    var $obj = $("#object");
    while ( $this.is(":hover") ) {
        scrollingposition += 1;
        $obj.css("right", scrollingposition);
    }
});

People see Saudis as "non-human"
The previous post looked at the Wadjda, the first Saudi film. It is a film where the main character, Wadjda, negotiates her way through different social spaces to get herself the object of her dreams - a bicycle. It's a bicycle that represents the physical freedom to roam, the bodily freedom to express itself, the freedom of equality and the sexual freedom of becoming a woman.
It's all about body then. But it is also about the different spaces a woman can inhabit - from the anonymous half-built spaces of Riyadh to the spaces of the street, the institutional spaces of the school and the private and shared spaces of the home.
This use of space, the humour of the main character, the physical expression through clothes and gesture gave the film three dimensions. I've met a few Saudis before, had coffee with them and chatted with them, I've read a few books about the country, but this added something that I had never seen before, especially because it was making Saudi women visible. As Ahd Kamel, the actress who plays the main character says in this video on the film, "People look at Saudi in a very black and white way... They see Saudis as non-humans."
When I saw Wadjda, I thought of Wasma Mansour's work on single Saudi women interiors. I thought of her even more when she told me her best friend, Ahd (who's mentioned above) played the evil headmistress, Miss Hussa, a women with a face that is bile and vinegar in human form.
Ahd is not only an actor but also a movie director. See her film Sanctity here. And see her talking about the film and her role in Wadjda here.
So I thought I would ask Wasma a few questions. And she very kindly answered.
How do interiors express a Saudi woman's identity?
The interiors can be considered as windows into the participants lives. My photography in a sense explored traces of the participants' activities, rituals and habits, carried out in the privacy of their homes. They also highlighted important, sometimes symbolic, items that evoked memories of family and home life in Saudi Arabia.
Why are these interiors important?
In my project, the home emerges as a dynamic space which elucidates how the participants are grapple with their past and present realities. The domestic sphere is important primarily because the women have a considerable control, and often full control over how they choose to exist within them (and outside them) in the UK. Since most of the participants lived with their families back in Saudi Arabia, their past living experience I would say was managed or overseen by their guardians (domestically) or the religious police as state apparatus which is given the licence to regulate people's comportment and appearance in the public domain. This is limiting for the participants in many ways.
How private are they?
By they, I am assuming that you mean the participants. I think the majority of the participants value privacy in that most of them requested to conceal their faces from being visible in the portraits I took of them.
Do these interiors conceal as well as reveal?
Interesting question. When I explained my work to the participants, particularly the part about photographing their private spaces, I gave them the full licence to, in a sense, curate their space for the camera.
What are the negotiations that Saudi women must negotiate?
There are issues that don't allow much room for negotiation in Saudi, such those related to faith and tradition for example. With regards to religion, there are main principles that one should follow and subscribe to, and any infraction would incur serious repercussions. There are more room for manoeuvrability within the cultural norms and tradition though, as these often evolve with time and political and socioeconomic transformations, not to mention that the rapid development with communication and technology, exposure to other value systems around the world makes people revise some old traditions. An example of this can be seen in the ways that the veil has transformed in Saudi Arabia. The premise of the veil is to conceal the woman's body in the public domain, and yet at the moment, many Saudi fashion designers have subverted this and have turned the 'abayah' (veil cloak) to a fashion statement.
Are there any negotiations that can't be mentioned?
I think the negotiations that are risky to reveal, even to me, are the ones that concern religion. Of course even some traditions feel almost impossible to change, especially amongst the tribal segments of Saudi society, because for these groups of people, the collective identity is the priority, and the individual must not compromise them in any way.

How Four migrants bused to NYC arrested for shoplifting $12K from Macy's
Posted by by Amos Osrah 1 week Ago 4 Min Read
The four are accused of stealing more than $12,000 in goods.
Officials said Monday that four migrants bused into New York City from Texas were apprehended for stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise from a Nassau County mall.
Wrallan Cabezas Meza, 19, Miguel Angel Rojas, 21, Rafael Rojas, 27, and Jose Garcia Escobar, 30, are accused of driving from New York to Garden City and stealing $12,489 in merchandise from Macy's Roosevelt Field earlier this month, according to county police.
Cops apprehended the crew shortly after the Jan. 9 heist in Hampstead when Meza was pulled over for allegedly failing to use a turn signal in a 2006 BMW with bogus plates, according to a criminal complaint in the case.
The suspects later told a Spanish-speaking Nassau County detective that they came to New York City on a bus from the Lone Star State, Detective Lt. Richard Lebrun said.
It was unclear when they were brought up north, but according to Nassau County cops, Meza crossed the US-Mexico border on July 4, 2022, and the others in September of last year.
According to police, Miguel and Rafael Rojas have been staying at the Westin Hotel on West 57th Street in Manhattan.
The police did not specify what was taken from the department store.
On January 10, the four suspects appeared in court. Rafael Rojas and Escobar were both released on bail. Miguel Rojas and Meza were both released after posting bail of $1,000 and $1,500, respectively.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said during a press conference Monday that he agrees with Mayor Eric Adams that "we have a border crisis that has now migrated across the United States to the New York City metropolitan area."
"But let me be clear: Here in Nassau County, our police department will be vigilant in ensuring that anyone who commits a crime is tracked down, apprehended, and arrested," Blakeman said.
"But I want to make it clear: Here in Nassau County, our police department is going to be vigilant in making sure that anybody who commits a crime is tracked down, caught and arrested," Blakeman said.
Thousands of migrants have been bused into New York City from the border after coming to the US for asylum.
The influx has forced the city to open five Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers and use hotel rooms to house the people. The city also even tried to tap cruise ships as temporary housing.
Adams has asked federal and state lawmakers to contribute to the cost of relocating migrants in New York. Since the spring, over 39,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York.
The mayor has stated that the crisis is costing the city, which already has a strained shelter system, millions of dollars.

The 177th New York State Legislature, consisting of the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly, met from January 4, 1967, to May 25, 1968, during the ninth and tenth years of Nelson Rockefeller's governorship, in Albany.

Background
Under the provisions of the New York Constitution of 1938, re-apportioned in 1953, 58 Senators and 150 assemblymen were elected in single-seat districts for two-year terms. The senatorial districts consisted either of one or more entire counties; or a contiguous area within a single county. The Assembly districts consisted either of a single entire county (except Hamilton Co.), or of contiguous area within one county.

In 1964, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down several decisions establishing that State legislatures should follow the One man, one vote rule to apportion their election districts. A special Federal Statutory Court declared the New York apportionment formulae for both the State Senate and the State Assembly unconstitutional, and the State Legislature was ordered to re-apportion the seats by April 1, 1965. The court also ruled that the 1964 legislative election should be held under the 1954 apportionment, but those elected could serve only for one year (in 1965), and an election under the new apportionment should be held in November 1965. Senators John H. Hughes and Lawrence M. Rulison (both Rep.) questioned the authority of the federal court to shorten the term of the 1964 electees, alleging excessive costs for the additional election in an off-year.

The lame-duck Legislature of 1964 met for a special session at the State Capitol in Albany from December 15 to 31, 1964, to re-apportion the legislative districts for the election in November 1965, gerrymandering the districts according to the wishes of the Republican majority before the Democrats would take over the Legislature in January. The number of seats in the State Senate was increased to 65, and the number of seats in the Assembly to 165. County representation was abandoned in favor of population-proportional districts, and the new Assembly districts were numbered from 1 to 165.

On February 1, 1965, the United States Supreme Court confirmed the Federal Statutory Court's order to elect a new New York Legislature in November 1965.

On April 14, 1965, the New York Court of Appeals declared the apportionment of December 1964 as unconstitutional, citing that the New York Constitution provides expressly that the Assembly shall have 150 seats, not 165 as were apportioned. The court also held that, although the constitutional State Senate apportionment formula provides for additional seats, the increase from 58 to 65 was unwarranted.

On May 10, the Federal Statutory Court ordered that the election on November 2, 1965, be held under the December 1964 apportionment, and that the Legislature thus elected re-apportion the seats again by February 1, 1966.

On August 24, it was clarified that, if the Governor and Legislature should not have enacted a new apportionment by February 1, 1966, then the courts should draft a new apportionment for the next election.

On October 11, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed four appeals against the ruling of the Federal Statutory Court, and upheld the election of a new New York Legislature on November 2.

On January 14, 1966, the Court of Appeals moved the deadline for the new legislative apportionment from February 1 to February 15.

On February 23, the Court of Appeal appointed a commission of five members to map out new districts because the Republican-majority Senate and the Democratic-majority Assembly could not agree on a new apportionment. The commission was chaired by President-elect of the American Bar Association Orison S. Marden, of Scarsdale, who was not affiliated with any party and was deemed politically independent. The other members were Ex-Judges of the Court of Appeals Bruce Bromley (Rep.), of Manhattan, and Charles W. Froessel (Dem.), of Queens; Ex-Republican State Chairman Edwin F. Jaeckle, of Buffalo;  and Robert B. Brady (Dem.), the Counsel to the Joint Legislative Committee on Re-Apportionment.

On March 14, the apportionment draft was submitted to the Court of Appeals.

On March 22, the Court of Appeals accepted the apportionment as drafted, thus becoming the law, without the need of legislative approval. The number of seats in the State Senate was reduced to 57, and the number of seats in the Assembly to 150.

At this time there were two major political parties: the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The Conservative Party, the Liberal Party, the Socialist Labor Party and the Socialist Workers Party also nominated tickets.

Elections
The 1966 New York state election, was held on November 8. Governor Nelson Rockefeller and Lieutenant Governor Malcolm Wilson were re-elected, both Republicans. The elections to the other three statewide elective offices resulted in a Republican Attorney General; a Democratic State Comptroller with Liberal endorsement; and a Republican Chief Judge with Democratic, Conservative and Liberal endorsement. The approximate party strength at this election, as expressed by the vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, was: Republicans 2,691,000; Democrats 2,298,000; Conservatives 513,000; Liberals 507,000; Socialist Labor 12,700; and Socialist Workers 12,500.

All four women members of the previous legislature—Assemblywomen Shirley Chisholm (Dem.), a preschool teacher of Brooklyn; Constance E. Cook (Rep.), a lawyer of Ithaca; Gail Hellenbrand (Dem.), of Brooklyn; and Dorothy H. Rose (Dem.), a high-school teacher and librarian of Angola—were re-elected.

At the same time, 186 delegates to a New York State Constitutional Convention were elected: 15 statewide at-large, and three in each senatorial district. The final result was the election of 101 Democrat/Liberals and 85 Republican/Conservatives.

The New York state election, 1967, was held on November 7. The only statewide elective offices up for election were two seats on the New York Court of Appeals. One vacancy in the State Assembly was filled. The proposed changes to the Constitution were rejected by the voters. The approximate party strength at this election, as expressed by the average vote for Judge of the Court of Appeals, was: Republicans 2,161,000; Democrats 2,070,000; Conservatives 402,000; and Liberals 202,000.

Sessions
The Legislature met for the first regular session (the 190th) at the State Capitol in Albany on January 4, 1967; and adjourned in the morning of April 2.

Anthony J. Travia (Dem.) was re-elected Speaker.

Earl W. Brydges (Rep.) was re-elected Temporary President of the State Senate.

The Constitutional Convention met at the State Capitol in Albany on April 4; and adjourned on September 26. Speaker Anthony J. Travia (Dem.) was elected President of the convention.

The Legislature met for the second regular session (the 191st) at the State Capitol in Albany on January 3, 1968;  and adjourned on May 25.
