Shaquille O'Neal Talks Buying an NBA Team: 'I Want to Go Back Home'
Maryland Flames Basketball > Basketball News > Shaquille O'Neal Talks Buying an NBA Team: 'I Want to Go Back Home'
A four-time NBA champion, three-time NBA finals MVP, and who many consider the most dominant center of all time is looking to take the highest position of an NBA franchise. Shaquille O'Neal recently revealed that he'd like to take ownership of an NBA team, but his comments about the rumor make it difficult for fans to assume which city he'll end up in.
"It'd probably be disrespectful to say it," O'Neal told CNN's Becky Anderson. "But I would like to go back home. I'll leave that to the viewers to figure out [what it means]. I would like to go back home."
A post shared by DR. SHAQUILLE O'NEAL Ed.D. (@shaq)
Home can mean many places for O'Neal as he played for six NBA franchises, played college basketball at LSU, and was born in Newark, NJ. O'Neal's first professional "home" was with the Orlando Magic, where he was selected number one overall in the 1992 NBA Draft. He established himself in just four seasons averaging 27.2 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game.
O'Neal and his crew brought the Magic to its first NBA Finals appearance in 1995 but couldn't get it done against Hakeem Olajuwon's back-to-back Finals-winning Houston Rockets. Nonetheless, the city of Orlando could still have great respect for their best center of all time, and the fans could settle on him taking over the organization.
O'Neal's next 'home' is where many saw him become the legendary figure he is in the history of basketball, the Los Angeles Lakers. O'Neal won multiple championships in Los Angeles with the late-great Kobe Bryant. The pair blossomed into the most dominant duo of their time, and in the 1999-2000 season, O'Neal won his first season MVP award.
The history of the Lakers would undoubtedly be held in good hands with O'Neal at the helm, but that won't happen any time soon.
A final team to note as one of Shaquille O'Neal's ownership probabilities is the Phoenix Suns. Though his time in the desert wasn't the highlight of his career, he still showed what he had in the late stage of his career — making an All-Star appearance in 2009 and averaging 17.8 points as a 37-year-old.
The Suns have been under media scrutiny recently after team owner Robert Sarver was suspended a year after an independent investigation found he helped foster a toxic workplace culture based on racist and misogynistic behavior. Sarver recently revealed he was planning on putting up the Suns and Mercury for sale due to the investigation.
O'Neal has his options, but for now, he can give back to the community and continue investing in the several businesses he owns. No franchise is a long shot for the four-time champion, but an ownership decision may come sooner than expected.

Q: Php code doesnt update in sql Can you help me find down what wrong is this code.
It say successed but in sql doesnt change.
it is something wrong with
$est = intval($_GET['est']);
Plz help.
?php

session_start();

require_once("lib/connection.php");

if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
 header('Location: login.php');
}else {
 $ten = $_SESSION['username'];
 $sql = "select * from users where username = '$ten' ";
 $query = mysqli_query($conn,$sql);
 $data = mysqli_fetch_array($query);
 }
$est = intval($_GET['est']);

$query2 = "SELECT * FROM customerinfo where estimate_number = '$est'";

 $result = mysqli_query($conn,$query2);
 $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result);

 if (isset($_POST["xacnhan"])) {
   if (isset($_POST["estc"])){
     $estc = $_POST["estc"];
$sql = "UPDATE customerinfo SET estimate_number = '$estc' WHERE estimate_number = '$est'";
            mysqli_query($conn,$sql);
            echo "ban da doi thanh cong Name: $estc";
     }

      if(isset($_POST["namec"])){
 $namec = $_POST["namec"];
$sql = "UPDATE customerinfo SET name = '$namec' WHERE estimate_number = '$est'";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
echo "ban da doi thanh cong Name: $namec";

 }

 }

?>

A: $est = intval($_GET['est']);

You use $_GET['est'] without checking if this value exists. Try this:
if (!isset($_GET['est'])) {
    // error
} else {
    $est = intval($_GET['est']);
}

PS: You should definitely protect your code from SQL injections. It is the best known and easiest to exploit security issue of PHP. I could do an SQL injection within seconds using only a browser.

Fidel Castro dies: Music, dancing, parades fill Miami streets
Antonio Fins
afins@pbpost.com
The news that much of Miami has been waiting decades to hear finally arrived Friday night when Cuba's state-run television announced that Fidel Castro was dead.
Within hours spontaneous celebrations had broken out on the streets of Little Havana. The party rumbled right into Saturday as hundreds gathered outside the neighborhood's Versailles restaurant, an iconic gathering spot for Cuban exiles for nearly as long as the 90-year-old Castro held power over the island nation.
Exiles recall ordeal with sorrow, freedom with joy
Police were forced to block off several streets as revelers, many draped in Cuban flags, uncorked bottles of champagne, sang '"Guantanamera" and "La Vida es un Carnaval" and danced salsa and merengue while partying like it was 1959 — the year Castro's rule began.
"This is going to go on for a week — at least," said Elliete Rodriguez, of Miami, adding she was on hand to honor her father whom she said died in exile without ever returning to Cuba.
Commentary: Life in the time of Fidel was about waiting — and death
By 10 a.m. Saturday, the cacophony created by honking horns, blaring car stereos and the banging of pots and pans along Calle Ocho — Eighth Street — had reached rock-concert decibels with no end in sight.
"It's a huge moment in history," said Michael Porta, who said his grandfather was imprisoned by Castro's government for his political views. "One of the last tyrants of the 20th century just passed away. It may not change much on the island right away, but it is a cause for celebration in the exile community and anybody who loves freedom."
Rumors of Castro's death had toyed with exiles' emotions for years.
Speculation of his demise began ramping up after Castro fell ill in 2006 and peaked in 2012 when a Venezuelan doctor who treated the Cuban leader said Castro had suffered a heart attack and was unresponsive.
In January 2015, Castro's death became the source of conjecture again following his prolonged absence from public appearances.
That caused Univision anchor Jorge Ramos to warn on his Twitter account: "Careful. Remember that here in Miami, almost like a ritual, Fidel Castro is killed several times a year."
Full Coverage: The life and death of Fidel Castro
Like the boogeyman in a horror movie, Castro emerged every time.
Until Friday.
"No one is eternal," said Angela Williams, who held a sign in one hand stating "Cuba Libre" and another placard denouncing "57 years of dictatorship and suppression of human rights" in the other. "You have to die some time."
Williams stressed that she was not "celebrating" the death of another human being as much as she was honoring loved ones and extolling political freedom.
But that view was certainly in the minority Saturday.
In West Palm, few Cuban-Americans shed tears
"I'm a Christian, so I feel a little like a hypocrite, but I'm happy inside," said Claudia Ortiz of Miami.
Damian Maytin, 17, was less diplomatic. His family left Cuba eight years ago after Raul Castro took the reigns of power from his older brother. Raul Castro, 85, has announced that he will not serve beyond 2018, but Maytin believes he will maintain control as long as he lives.
"One Castro is down, and we hope the other one dies soon," Maytin said.
Photos: Cubans in Little Havana celebrate Castro's death
Exiles once believed that Fidel Castro's death would result in the collapse of Cuba's one-party, totalitarian system.
But Henry Marinello said that as long as Raul Castro and other Communist party stalwarts remain in power, nothing will change.
Marinello arrived on Calle Ocho early Saturday holding a sign with the names "Che, Fidel and Raul" written inside bubbles. The names Che — for Cuban revolutionary figure Che Guevara — and Fidel had lines crossed through them. Under the bubbles were the words, "Falta uno," Spanish for "one's left."
Marinello said that he and his brothers came to the U.S. as children in the 1960s while their father stayed behind working with anti-Castro dissident groups. His father was eventually arrested and then executed by a firing squad, he said.
"My father was an idealist," Marinello said. "He believed in freedom. He stayed trying to overturn the Castro regime, and he died doing it."
Beyond the abundance of Cuban and American flags flying in Little Havana Saturday were those from Brazil, Israel, Venezuela and other countries.
Ben Lightfoot of New Zealand biked to Calle Ocho with his 3-year-old son Niko in tow.
"We wanted to see a little history," Lightfoot said.
Salvador and Celena Parisi of Venezuela said they were on hand to show solidarity with Cuban-Americans. When Fidel Castro and Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez were alive, they formed a close bond that many Venezuelans say has led to the South American country's collapse.
"We're living through what many Cubans have already experienced," Salvador Parisi said. "The body of a totalitarian system remains in Cuba, but now the head has been cut off."
One celebrant reminded a reporter that Cuban-Americans have long toasted the New Year with the refrain: "Next year in Cuba!"
With Castro's death, Claudia Ortiz said that hope may be closer to reality.
"I don't think Cuba is going to change overnight," said Ortiz, born in Cuba before moving to Miami 23 years ago. "You can't change 57 years in a week or even a month. We're going to need years to change. But it's a beginning."

You may have had your phone unsuspectedly searched by federal agents when coming into America. And the data on your phone may have been downloaded to scan for national security information. Odds are high no incriminating data was found on your phone. But as it turns out, odds aren't so high that the border patrol deleted this data upon realizing you aren't a security risk.
This process of searching and keeping data is not illegal. Under the Border Doctrine, warrants are not required to conduct some unintrusive searches at the border, since these searches fall under the highly prioritized right of national security. The Border Doctrine allows government officials to conduct routine searches at the border without probable cause, reasonable suspicion, or a warrant. International airports have long been viewed as the "functional equivalent" of a border, and so these searches are legal.
If an agent finds reasonable suspicion, based on a manual search of your phone, that there may be incriminating data on the phone, they are allowed to download your data on to a storage device. However, the U.S. government has a policy to erase that downloaded data once it is deemed legal, and as it turns out, many border agents have failed to meet policy guidelines. "Based on our physical inspection, as well as the lack of a written policy, it appears [Customs and Border Protection's Office of Field Operations] has not universally implemented the requirement to delete copied information, increasing the risk of unauthorized disclosure of travelers' data should thumb drives be lost or stolen," the Office of Inspector General wrote.
Though the number of drives not erased has not been released, the incident of these warrantless searches is on the rise. According to Customs and Border Protection, there were about 5,000 border searches of phones and laptops in 2015. This number rose significantly in 2016 to 24,000, and continued to rise in 2017 to 29,000.
If you feel your personal information has been seized, in violation of your rights, contact a local civil rights attorney. Though the border patrol does have wide discretion in maintaining national security, it is not all powerful. There are constitutional limits to border searches of electronic devices. A lawyer can advise you of your rights, and best next steps to take to protect your privacy.


George Washington once said of Marietta: "I know of no country where I should rather fix my habitation." For the first 28 years or so of my life, I agreed wholeheartedly before I finally relented to the big city's call. While Hocking Hills rightfully gets a lot of attention as an outdoor-enthusiast destination, National Geographic listed only one spot in Ohio in its 2009 feature of the country's "100 Best Adventure Towns." Fittingly, it's the state's first city: Marietta. The Pioneer City is more than just an adventurer's dream, however. From beer bars to live music, antiques to history, just about anyone can find something to discover in this majestic river city.
Dives, dance halls and beer meccas, oh my!
Marietta Brewing Co.: From stouts to shandys, this 17-year-old brewery offers a range of solid brews in a charming setting. Huge artful murals - one of which recreates a picture of early 20th century Marietta brewers - adorn the pub's exposed-brick walls, making the spot the quintessential Marietta experience.
The Galley/Adelphia: Rumored to be haunted by a ghost named Charlotte, the craft-beer mecca The Galley and its adjacent concert hall, The Adelphia, is located in a former "house of ill repute." The bar/restaurant features a well-curated 24 taps, and the concert venue has hosted acts ranging from Southern Culture on the Skids to Bubba Sparxxx.
Harmar Tavern: A west-side dive home to the "soon-to-be-famous fried-bologna sandwich."
From antique shops to fashion boutiques, art galleries to a Coca-Cola museum and ice cream/soda pop shoppe, you won't find a more eclectic and bustling downtown in a small town. The highlight, however, is justAJar Design Press, a letterpress that practices the age-old crafts of typesetting and woodblock printing. The design team of Bobby Rosenstock and Sarah Alway have created posters for the Nelsonville Music Festival, Belle and Sebastian and The Flaming Lips, among others. Give 'em a shout ahead of time, and they'll give you a personal tour of their loft.
The biggest and most famous is the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival (Sept. 5-7), but my favorite is the newly established Rivers, Trails and Ales Festival, a weekend long celebration of Marietta's diverse outdoor offerings and beer scene. Dive in Aug. 7-10 with kayak tours, organized mountain bike and road rides, trail runs and the ever-popular Mighty Muskingum River Raft Race where participants race their own hand-crafted vessels.
Speaking of outdoor pursuits, you'd be remiss to leave Marietta without exploring the area's diverse outdoor offerings. Tour the city's two major rivers and other creeks and streams via kayak or enjoy a more leisurely ride on the Valley Gem sternwheel boat. Join local fishermen at Devol's Dam, or avoid the water altogether and use two wheels to discover the dozen miles or so of single-track trails within the city's limits. Or embrace the city's slower side with a more comfortable bike ride along the walking/biking trail that stretches along both major rivers.
Short of visiting one of the country's original 13 colonies, you won't find an American city with more historical roots. The roads are lined with bricks, the houses adorned with plaques declaring this one home to a former vice president and that one "The House of Seven Porches." Even the cemeteries are worth a look-see. They're flat-out beautiful, for one, but they're also filled with more Revolutionary War soldiers than anywhere else in the country, and one cemetery's even home to a large Hopewell burial mound.

A: You can try this:
    case R.id.backspace:

    //try like this
    if(string.substring(string.length() - 1).equals(b3.getText()))
       b3.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    ...

txt.setText(txt.getText().toString().substring(0,txt.getText().toString().length()-1));

A: You could create a Stack of pressed buttons, so that you would know in which order they are pressed:
public class MainActivity extends ... implements ...{
    Stack<View> pressedButtons = new Stack<>();
    ...
    @Override
    public void onClick(View view) {
        // If it is a number, not a backspace key - remember that we pressed it
        if(view.getId() != R.id.backspace) {
            pressedButtons.push(view);
            txt.setText(txt.getText().toString() + ((Button) view).getText());
            view.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        }
        else {  // backspace key
            String text = txt.getText().toString();
            if(text.isEmpty())
                return;  // do this to prevent crash
            txt.setText(text.substring(0, text.length() - 1));
            // make the button visible again
            View lastPressedButton = pressedButtons.pop();
            lastPressedButton.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
        }
    }
}

Could you please elaborate and shed some light on these questions? They are not necessarily specific to the current patch, but would be greatly appreciated if you could answer them. The community would really like some clarity.
The World-Cup mode had a great option that could let us send untradeable duplicates to a storage place, why isn't this implemented in this game? Right now the only reason I can think of as to why it isn't added, is, so that players HAVE to discard them and eventually visit the transfermarkt / store again?
Would it be able to add an button to add 11 individual condition cards at once? 11 cards would be applied and removed with one-button, which is very much more user friendly than having one player add them one by one. You'd still have the squad fitness cards in the game to fill up packs with.
*While I understand that a new TOTW or a promo (futmas, otw, ...) can hype players up to buy packs if there are players with switched positions (ie. Mbappe from RW to ST). That shouldn't be the reason those potential (LW to RW) position cards shouldn't be added, that would mean "profit > gameplay/fun".
**I know you guys are paying attention to User Interface design, because the integration of visiting the transfermarkt with L2 during an SBC this year has been great. As well with the sorting options. But I feel there can be done even more with it, like L2 also sending u to the transfermarkt when you are just working on your squad.
Thanks, from this we can gather that despite the millions FUT generates, EA are not willing to dedicate the resources needed to address the obviously needed patches this game needs in a timely fashion.
Simply not good enough. The Fifa forums simply shouldn't contain this much disdain for a game we've come to love over the years.
Can you fix bug when the players are not even making an effort to do anything, players get "tired" Shows how messed the game is, players get tired for doing nothing, unbelievable, and they want to create "realism"
I guess you lot haven't fixed any lag issues. Because I played a person who was lagging badly.
There's still an issue with the CAM position in Pro Clubs where the game will give you a task of playing in a different position. We are still working on it but I don't have a time frame just yet.
Appreciate the feedback. Not really something I can shed any light on because I don't know if these changes are something that are easily implemented or not and whether there are plans to look at this stuff but I'll add this to the ongoing feedback list we have.
Just because it always happens to you doesn't mean it always happens to everyone. Sometimes the ones that look "easy to fix" don't always work out that way.
How often is this actually happening to you? Which mode are you in?
I'm mostly a FUT player and very rarely get injuries let alone 2 in one match, so perhaps this is in a different mode?
EA, bringing the American healthcare system worldwide!
Can you DM me the details or links so I can take a look?
Saw this but no further updates. If it's something that's changed it'll be in the patch notes but don't have info as to when that might be.
If it happens to you again (consumables bug), please note down the exact time, date and your timezone and DM me those details along with your platform and gamertag.
Really though, how hard can it be to just copy the custom tactics used by the player for the specific squad and paste them directly for SBs?
Or was it so complicated to implement due to the changes to custom tactics that they just set the default to "Possession/Tiki-Taka" and "No Pressure" for all squads?
It's not a bug it's deliberate as it hasn't always been that way. Squad Battles is set up to AI cheat too, EA know then because it's by design.
Why on earth was defensive AI not fixed? Final proof that EA do not play the game or they'd realise this patch will make the game worse- that's from someone who wanted timed finesse nerfed.
Do you guys want balanced gameplay? The game is a mess and you clearly do not listen to your community as everyone knows how OP defensive AI is.
I think all players should now realise that AI defending is by design and EA don't care about gameplay.
I don't honestly know the full ins and outs of what the potential issue is, what it takes to fix and where it is in terms of priority.
So essentially you want to be able to play great defense with lower rated players. Then why buy better players if manual control is buffed ?
The key point here is a supposedly good defender with good stats still suffers when manually controlled.
E.g. Rio Ferdinand unstoppable whe controlled by AI, but still suffers from the ball being magnetised to the attacker when manually controlled.
The game isn't yet at a point where your question makes sense to ask. Please don't attempt to defend the indefensible.

To President Trump on Syria: The Law Matters–What's the Rationale?
by Jennifer Daskal
Senators have just emerged from a closed door meeting with Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joe Dunford about yesterday's strikes in Syria. Yet, according to CNN on-air reporting (as confirmed elsewhere), the administration still has not provided Congress the legal justification for the strikes.
Nor has the President offered a public justification beyond an asserted "vital national security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of chemical weapons" – coupled with a concern about how the refugee crisis threatens the United States and its allies.
This is disturbing. Whatever one thinks of both the policy justification for the strike, the law also matters. As does the articulation of that law.
Of particular concern, the failure to articulate a legal justification for the strikes yields speculation that the President acted without first assessing the domestic and international legal justification for his actions. If so, that would be terrifying. It would suggest a President that deemed himself empowered to engage in the uses of force without constraints imposed by the Constitution's separation of powers. And it would suggest a President emboldened to use force outside of the constraints imposed by the UN Charter — constraints that recognize the gravity of using unconsented-to lethal force in another nation's territory and are intended to limit such uses of force accordingly. These are constraints that need to be considered. No matter how right Trump was to respond to Assad's horrific use of chemical weapons in this instance, next time it might not be so clear.
Alternatively, and much preferably, the President has evaluated and considered the legal constraints, but is hesitant to say too much. This is a huge mistake. To the extent President Trump believes he is on solid legal footing, he should explain why. To the extent (as is it certainly seems) that he is offering a new theory of what constitutes a vital national security interest justifying the use of Article II authorities and/or a novel interpretation of international law, he should articulate that theory and set its parameters. Inevitably, there will be discussion and dissent, and perhaps that is what President Trump wants to avoid. But it is a healthy kind of discussion and debate. And it is much preferable than a theory of unbounded authority that the absence of any articulated legal justification suggests. That is not only damaging, it is dangerous.
Steve Pomper said it perfectly earlier today:
There will invariably be risks in offering an untested argument, even if narrowly framed, but the risks of offering no argument seem greater. Not only would such an approach risk leaving an unbounded hole in Article 2(4) of the Charter, but it would signal that the United States does not believe it needs to justify actions this consequential under international law. That would be a dangerous signal to send about an increasingly fragile international order at an increasingly unpredictable time.
Pomper was talking about international legal justification. The same is true for the domestic law claims. President Trump: The time to lay out your theory is now.

If you are interested in starting beekeeping you've come to the right place. My Name is Sam Summers and I am a beekeeper. I put together this site to help people who were interested in starting beekeeping have a resource of information. Now, this article will discuss the basic facts about beekeeping.
Did you know there are over 20,000 different species of bees? The most common bee that is used in starting beekeeping is the western honey bee.
A reason why many people are interested in starting beekeeping is because the wild honey that is produced is a very fun hobby and very tasty for a lot of people. I also find it, yes believe it or not, relaxing to be working with the bees. And of course I LOVE the taste of honey.
If you are interested in starting beekeeping you will want to know that beekeeping has made many modern improvements. The first is a movable frame hive. The Langstroth hive is the most common movable frame used in beekeeping. Also, some beekeepers are using top-bar hives in their beekeeping, but if you are looking into starting beekeeping you should probably focus only on the basics.
Starting a beekeeping hobby will also require you to get protective clothing, since getting stung by a bee is painful, and it kills the bee. Of course serious injury or death can occur if you get stung by a bee or if you are attacked by a large swarm of bees. Some beekeepers prefer not to use gloves, since wearing gloves can make it tricky to handle the bee delicately. I have gotten good at using gloves myself, however. You can use gloves that are not super thick and they will protect you from a sting.
The most important area to protect is the face and the neck. No matter what type of protective clothing you have on, getting attacked by a swarm of bees can still be dangerous. If you are stung by a bee an alarm pheromone is actually produced that will attract more bees, so it can be a viscous cycle. These are important things to know if you are looking at starting beekeeping as a hobby, or as a way to earn some income on the side.
Another defensive tactic used by beekeepers involves the use of a smoker. If you are considering starting beekeeping as a hobby you need to learn get a smoker and learn how to use it. Why is a smoker used in beekeeping? A smoker makes a bee feel more calm, and it actually initiates a feeding response because the bee "thinks" it is going to be have to eat because the hive is going to be destroyed due to a fire. I know I could not live without the use of my smoker, because the smoker has made me really know how to work around my bees.
If you are considering starting beekeeping as a hobby you may have heard of natural beekeeping or "urban beekeeping" What is natural beekeeping or urban beekeeping? It is the process of getting honey from bees that normally reside in urban gardens. Some places urban beekeeping has been illegal, but recently that has subsided. Urban beekeeping is common in places that ban pesticides and other unique chemicals. Urban or natural beekeeping has its risks, too, but may be a great way to start beekeeping if you are looking into starting beekeeping as a hobby.
Bee keeping can be a great and enjoyable hobby. If you are considering starting beekeeping these are just a few things to know and understand. Please, spend some time looking around and learning more about beekeeping here. I have written a lot of articles, and provide a lot of resources for you. I also recommend a resource that you can learn more about by clicking here. It is how I learned about beekeeping and it saved me a ton of money in getting started, and also helped me avoid getting stung!
Good luck in becoming a beekeeper!

Bushfire crisis – ACOSS calls for Government action on recovery, preparation and prevention
The Australian Council of Social Service has written to the Prime Minister with clear recommendations for immediate actions in response to the bushfire tragedy, with a focus on supporting people on low incomes through the crisis.
Australian Council of Social Service CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie said:
"The devastating impact of the tragic loss of life, homes, livelihoods and nature caused by these terrifying fires cannot be overstated. In the face of such destruction, the generous response of the community, the courage of our firefighters, and the dedication of charity staff and volunteers have been truly phenomenal.
"The Federal Government has a crucial role to play in the long, hard road to recovery. We welcome the creation of the National Bushfire Recovery Agency and the National Bushfire Recovery Fund, along with a range of measures the Federal Government has taken to support people affected by these bushfires, including funding for mental health services.
"But there is more that the Government must urgently do to support people who have lost so much, as a result of these ferocious mega fires fuelled by climate change.
"We are very concerned that the current Disaster Recovery Payment is seriously inadequate, particularly for people on lower incomes and with fewer assets, family and friends to secure transport, alternative housing options and immediate recovery resources. The payment has not been increased in 14 years and we are calling for it to be raised from $1,000 to $3,000, and from $400 per child to $1,000 per child.
"While we welcome Prime Minister's announcement that the Disaster Recovery Allowance will not be taxable, it's clear that this allowance is inadequate to cover basic living costs and must be increased. It is paid at the same rate as the paltry Newstart payment, which business, health, regional and community groups all agree needs to be increased.
"It is important that people can access payments and supports without unnecessary bureaucracy and that there is support for service delivery to be coordinated at the local level. Centrelink and Services Australia should exercise leniency and flexibility in the administration of recovery and crisis payments to ensure people in need receive them, including where people cannot readily provide the required documentation because they have lost their home or do not have access to their home.
"Food relief is critical for people, families and communities affected by bushfires. ACOSS recommends that the Government immediately allocate an additional $30 million in funding to food relief community sector organisations to respond to the surge in need which is likely to continue for many months. It's also clear that community sector organistaions providing emergency relief and financial counselling services will need greater government investment to cope with the crisis.
"As extreme weather events increase in Australia due to climate change, insurance premiums are escalating and too many people, particularly people on low incomes, find themselves under-insured or not insured. We need to respond to the needs of people without insurance now, but also to establish a review to examine how the Federal Government and the insurance industry can assist people on low incomes to access insurance products.
"Importantly, key to our future response to disasters like these bushfires must be action on climate change. With many, we've long called for greater investment in disaster recovery and resilience. Australia must strengthen its own response to the climate crisis, and take a global leadership role on climate change."

The Master, Rev Barry Fry, supported by the Honorary General Secretary, Robert Cater, the Honorary General Treasurer, Michael Bubb, and the Minute Secretary, Andrew Case, opened the meeting at 10.17 with a prayer, and welcomed those present. He especially welcomed Helen Tucker, Secretary of the Channel Islands District, Stuart Heath, Secretary of the Portsmouth District, and Raymond Walsh, representing the Basingstoke District. The others attending were:- Gail Cater, Gilian Davis, Ruth Jackson, Elizabeth Johnson, Wendy Ling, Kim Matthews, June Mitchell, Barbara Townsend, Faith Webster, Andrew Craddock, Barry Downer, Mark Esbester, Alan Hoar, Derek Jackson, Ian McCallion, Francis Mitchell, Tony Smith, Brian Oakes, Phil Watts, David Whiting, and Keith Williamson.
Ceri Dodd and John Colliss.
The meeting stood in silence to remember Dennis Oram and Tom de Paravechini of Abbotts Ann, Revd W F Godfrey formerly of the Christchurch and Southampton District, Bill Barnes of Hursley, David Savill a member of the Executive Committee and of St Michael Basingstoke, Philip Taylor of Highclere, Dorothy Chamberlain and Patrick Handley Garland of Fawley, Ted Green of Freshwater.
Minutes of the last meeting had been circulated by the Minute Secretary. The minutes were approved by the meeting and signed.
Essex Shield Striking Competition. The Guild did not enter a band this year because of difficulties in arranging a complete team.
Guild Library. Kim Matthews had established that the Guild minute books for 1927 -1928 were in the Guildford Diocesan Guild library housed in Guildford Cathedral. Kim was arranging to meet with David Agg, the Guildford librarian, to view the books and would advise the Secretary who would seek return of the books.
Historic Peal Boards. Phil Watts advised that the Belfry Stewardship Committee had taken account of the Central Council's software, provided by Andrew Craddock, in designing their survey report form for the Guild survey of bells.
Winchester District Open Day. Wendy Ling advised that this had not been very well attended but had raised £325 for the BRF. The Master expressed thanks to the organisers.
The Secretary had invited the Dean of Guernsey, the Very Revd M Trickey, to become a Vice President of the Guild. The Dean had replied that he was delighted to accept.
Bell Fittings from Froyle have been donated to the Guild and were housed in the boiler room of St Barnabas Church, Southampton, under the care of the Master. The Belfry Stewardship Committee had already found a home for four of the sets of fittings.
Best kept tower competition. Patrick Matthews had proposed this scheme. It was agreed that the Belfry Stewardship Committee would consider and prepare a paper for the next meeting, Ian McCallion referred to the danger of cleaning belfries without protective clothing and Phil Watts agreed that to reduce the chances of contracting Psittacosis, face masks should always be worn when working in belfries.
It was noted that the Central Council Education Committee were organising a Tower Captaincy course in February 1996 at Cirencester. Details had been circulated with the agenda papers.
The Secretary had circulated a copy of a letter from the Central Council Bell Restoration Funds Committee with the agenda papers. The letter gave some information relating to average income, grant, and capital for bell restoration funds.
The Secretary mentioned the recent publication in the Ringing World of a list of noise complaint advisors, Graham Grant being listed as the advisor for Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, and the Isle of Wight. Graham is standing in for Neil Skelton of the Salisbury Guild, and because of Graham Grant's recent knee replacement operation, Phil Watts is at present standing in for Graham and was due to attend a Central Council Seminar on Health & Safety and Sound Control in the near future.
It was reported that Betty J Daysh of Shedfield (Portsmouth District) would complete 50 years membership of the Guild during 1996.
Striking Competitions Committee. The report and accounts had been circulated with the agenda, and Derek Jackson mentioned minor amendments which the committee wished to make to the report. Subject to these alterations, the report and accounts were accepted.
Social Committee. The Committee's report and accounts had been circulated with the agenda. Subject to the deletion of the part of the report referring to future events, the report was accepted. The Treasurer agreed to put the accounts into the preferred format which he indicated was the format used by the Striking Competitions and BRF Fund Raising Committees.
BRF Fund Raising Committee. The report and accounts circulated with the agenda were accepted.
Interim Report from Belfry Stewardship Committee. The Committee's report, circulated with the agenda, was accepted, with the Master expressing thanks on behalf of the Guild to Phil Watts and his Committee for all their work. The BRF Trustees were particularly appreciative of the advice given to them by the Belfry Stewardship Committee. Phil Watts agreed that the Belfry Stewardship Committee would now produce the report on restoration work which is published in the Guild Report, and requested District Secretaries to let him know of any repair work carried out of which the Belfry Stewardship Committee might not be aware. Phil Watts requested the sum of £150 to cover the Committee's expenses. This was seconded by Mark Esbester and carried.
The Committee's latest draft of the Guild Bell Stock Survey Report Form and guidance notes had been issued to Executive Committee members in advance of the meeting. Phil Watts advised that the Committee saw this work as a means of increasing awareness and stewardship of bells and of encouraging those with an interest. Tony Smith expressed his appreciation for the Committee's work regarding the survey, but wondered whether we would receive reliable information from Parishes where there was no-one interested in bells or ringing. Phil Watts said the Committee had already accepted that there would need to be a fair amount of checking of the information received and that the Committee were considering the best way of getting the forms to Parishes. It was suggested that ringers should be notified when forms are dispatched to their parish if they are not to be the recipients. The Committee were also hoping to meet the Archdeacons representing both diocese to secure their support for the survey and add authority to the requests for information, in response to questions posed by the Committee, the Executive felt that the survey should include churches of all faiths, not just Anglican and ideally it should also extend to cemetery chapels and private buildings with clock and other bells. There was a suggestion that the Committee might wish to consider running a pilot scheme in one Deanery and the Executive agreed to allocate £100 for further work by the Committee, possibly including a pilot scheme. As to whether the documents should be professionally printed, the Secretary felt the Committee needed to make a judgement between the cost of printing and the quality of documents required and report back, possibly following a pilot scheme.
District Secretaries were asked to advise their members of this important work by the Belfry Stewardship Committee.
At 11am, this being the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the Committee observed two minutes silence in memory of those who had given their lives in the service of their country.
Kim Matthews proposed that the library funds be topped up by £20. This was seconded by Mark Esbester and agreed.
Ian McCallion advised that each edition of the Newsletter cost about £90 to produce and that so far in 1995 he had produced two newsletters. It was agreed that the PRO's funds be topped up by £200 on a proposition from Mark Esbester, seconded by Tony Smith.
Ruth Jackson was handed the forms for completion by District and Tower Secretaries which had been produced by John Dodd. It was agreed that the "Guild Representatives" on Diocesan Advisory Committees would be better described as "Bell Advisors". Ruth advised that it was helpful for reports to be submitted to her on computer disk, but that reports on paper were quite acceptable, but they were not retyped and therefore needed to be error free so far as possible. The Secretary proposed that Ruth be advanced £50 towards her costs. This was seconded by the Master and agreed.
Showing of Guild Financial Assets in Guild Report.
The Secretary had circulated, with the agenda, a paper on this matter. He felt that in line with promoting the concept of unity in the Guild and that the Districts are actually the Guild in the areas they cover, the 1995 Report should show all the financial assets of the Guild wherever they are held. The Secretary proposed that the total amounts carried forward for each district should be included in the Annual Report. This was seconded by Tony Smith. Wendy Ling proposed, as an amendment, that only the aggregated total carried forward for all the districts should be shown. On being put to the vote, the amendment was carried by 11 to 9, with two abstentions recorded. The amended motion was then carried nem con. The Secretary agreed to compile a list of non financial assets (excluding the library) for the next Executive Committee meeting. It was felt that this list should eventually extend to include all District assets.
The Master advised that he had been seeking authority from the Central Board of Finance to reproduce the ASB order for evening prayer. After some negotiations, the Master had secured authority without the need for the Guild to pay a fee and subject only to the printing of an acknowledgement. The Master hoped that the revised Order of Service would be ready for the next meeting.
Gail Cater's report of this conference, held in Leicester on 23 September, was dispatched with the agenda papers and was noted. Gail advised that a detailed report had recently appeared in the Ringing World.
Barry Downer had prepared a paper on this item which had been circulated with the agenda. Gail Cater advised that the Education Committee had considered the matter and wondered who would train the trainers. They felt that refresher courses would have to be provided and they had doubts as to the value of the certificates which might be awarded. However, the Committee would consider the possibility of issuing certificates of attendance to people attending courses on teaching handling and would also raise the subject with the Central Council Education Committee.
Derek Jackson reminded the meeting that in 1996 the Guild would be celebrating the centenary of the formation of the first districts - we had been one of the first Guilds to create a district structure, Ian McCallion had prepared a paper giving details of some of the various events which were being planned by districts, and this information was noted.
Ian McCallion had prepared a paper on this topic which had been circulated with the agenda. The Guild already had some information on the World Wide Web and Ian sought support for the publication of further information. It was agreed that the WWW data was being held on behalf of the Guild and that a question be included on the proforma for the Annual Report enabling tower secretaries and district officers to object to their details being published if they did not wish them to be. The Executive agreed the principle of publishing the Guild information on the World Wide Web and Ian McCallion agreed to take responsibility for ensuring, so far as possible, that the information was kept up to date.
Since the forms seeking information for inclusion in the 1995 Annual Report had already been printed, Ian McCallion would draft a letter to send to towers via District Secretaries and this would be forwarded by the Minute Secretary when dispatching the minutes of the meeting.
Helen Tucker had submitted a proposal and background information which had been included with the agenda. It was proposed by the Channel Islands District that they be recognised as a full district of the Guild and that Rule 5 be amended to include the Channel Islands District in the rotation of areas in which the Annual General Meeting is held. The Secretary spoke of the Channel Islands District now "coming of age" having become an active and flourishing area for ringing with over 80 members of the Guild, and proposed that the Channel Islands District's proposal be accepted in principle with the details of area rotation being left for a small group of Executive Committee members to consider and make recommendations. This was seconded by Gilian Davis and carried. The group of members who would consider the details was agreed as the Secretary, the Master, Helen Tucker, and Tony Smith. The Secretary asked that any comments others may have on the detailed arrangements should please be forwarded to him.
It had previously been agreed that the next Executive Committee meeting would be held on Saturday 2 March 1996 and it was agreed that the meeting be held at 10.15 at St Barnabas Church Hall. It was also agreed that the following meeting would be held on Saturday 2 November 1996 at St Barnabas Church Hall, Southampton.
Wendy Ling asked whether the Executive Committee felt that the way the Social Committee was presently formed was the best way. The Secretary said this was a matter for the Social Committee to consider themselves in the first instance with a view to putting proposals for change to the next meeting. Any advice from members should be passed to them.
There being no further business, the Master closed the meeting with prayers at 13.08.


A British woman lodged a malicious complaint against an Indian expatriate, falsely accusing him of insulting her, days after he had filed a case against her, reports Al-Rai daily.
Reportedly, the British woman and the Indian expatriate disagreed over right-of-way in Nugra area, which led the latter to file a case against her at Nugra Police Station, accusing her of insulting him. When securitymen questioned the British woman, she claimed to not know Arabic at all.
The Indian later withdrew his case. However, 20 days after the incident, securitymen were surprised when the woman lodged a complaint against the Indian expatriate and accused him of insulting her, providing securitymen with his vehicle number.

Q: Child Automation run as step in Parent Automation? Any ideas on using this SSJS Automation Trigger (or some other method) to Trigger a Child Automation as a middle step in a Parent Automation that once complete continues to process?
I have a long (many steps) Automation that needs to be run during several different other Automations, I don't really want to put all the Child steps into each Parent from a readability and maintainability perspective.
I tried a do while loop in the linked SSJS code;
        do {
            // Keep getting the status until it changes from Running
            automationObject = GetAutomationObject(automationCustomerKey);
        } while (automationObject.Status == 3);
        // This should mean the Automation has completed running
        Write("Automation Complete");

But this didn't work, probably because it's horribly inefficient. There is no option to set a delay in SSJS for a polling interval last time I tried either.
Any genius ideas?

A: Although there is no way to accurately make what you are asking, if you instead break up each part into multiple automations to accomplish the same tasks, it can be possible.
For instance instead of:
Parent Automation
Step 1 - Step 2 - Step 3 - Step 4 (child) - Step 5 - Step 6 - Step 7 (child) - Step 8
It would be:
Auto 1
Step 1 - Step 2 - Step 3 - Step 4 (calls Auto 2)
Auto 2
Step 5 - Step 6 - Step 7 (calls Auto 3)
Auto 3
Step 8
In order to track this, I would have a fourth Automation that runs a script activity to verify that the other automations are running on schedule.  This could be attained a couple ways:

*

*API calls to get last run date, last instance status and current status and then take action to alert if there is issue (I would also log the results into a DE)

*Have an activity at the end of each Automation that inserts the current datetime into a DE and then do a script activity that looks there to validate that the datetime displayed there fits into the expected results. Then send an alert if this is not correct.

Example to call automation:

A: I cannot think of a way other than along the lines of what you are doing. That said, the problem I see with it is that, while waiting for the child automation, this script can timeout after 30 mins.
Overall I think the best way to handle this would be to have the child automation trigger a third automation to complete the remaining activities. There's not really a good way to keep a true parent process.

A: The 'do while' SSJS solution actually works when running this as a Script Activity instead of as a Cloud Page (since the Cloud Page times out quickly). Though I also used an external website with a simple custom page that could mimic a delay for polling the automation status with a reasonable frequency;
        var runRequestResult = RunAutomation(automationObject.ObjectID);
        if (runRequestResult == 'OK') {
            Write("
Automation Started.");
            var counter = 1;
            var waitms = 10000; // how long in ms to wait between polling the Automation
            do {
                // Wait for X ms, the counter parameter will prevent the page from being cached
                var req = new Script.Util.HttpGet("http://externalwebsite.com/wait.aspx?w=" + waitms + "&counter=" + counter);
                var resp = req.send();
                Write("
Waiting... " + counter);
                counter++;
                // Refresh the Automation Object
                automationObject = GetAutomationObject(automationCustomerKey);
            } while (automationObject.Status == 3); // Keep looping while the Automation is still running
            Write("
Automation Finished.");
        }

Note there is a 30 minute limit on Script Activities timing out, so the Child Automation must complete within that time.

80 percent of them would require CPR training before graduation from high school.
In order to guarantee adherence to national training standards, and in some cases protection under the law, no school system should attempt to initiate a program without the cooperation, endorsement, and support of either the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association. Either of these organizations should be contacted during the early planning stages in order to plan the implementation of a nationally certified program of CPR instruction. Although the two organizations may have different educational methods of presenting the cognitive and didactic material, the content is virtually the same with both organizations strictly adhering to the "Standards for CPR and ECC''as developed by the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council.
According to Jess Gorkin, editor of Parade Magazine, "To teach (CPR) high school health and physical education, teachers could take advantage of basic (and instructor) courses readily available from the American Red Cross, or the American Heart Association. The cost in dollars would be minimal, the gain in lives saved incalculable."
Hopefully in the near future all communities, large and small, will include within their school curriculums the four R's instead of the traditional three: readin', 'ritin', 'rithmetic, and resuscitation!

Daenerys Targaryen Chained Mark of Meereen Necklace
Mother of Dragons
Daenerys Targaryen is shown on this Mark as Queen of Meereen. She is surrounded by her three dragons: Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. On the reverse is a Meereenese pyramid and broken manacles, symbolizing her freeing of the slaves. She had this coin minted to replace the concept of slaves as currency on the city. Those who support the Queen might wear this Mark on a chain as a powerful symbol of their allegiance.
This Daenerys Targaryen Chained Mark of Meereen from the world of George R. R. Martin is struck from solid brass, measures 2.7 cm in diameter, and weighs about 5.8 grams. Includes a 30" antique bronze cable chain with clasp. Coin artwork by Woody Maringer and Ron Landis.
The product is treated to look as if it has been handled and circulated. This process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science, coloring and patinas will vary. No two are exactly the same! Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. A colorful description is included with history and facts about the coin.
