The UK economy is fast falling over the edge of the cliff by registering a GDP contraction of 0.5% in the 3rd quarter with the expectations of a fall of between 0.5% and 0.7% for the fourth quarter which would put the UK officially in recession. With worse to come during 2009 and all of the governments golden rules now well and truly busted following the bank bailouts, Gordon Brown has now thrown caution to the wind so as to meet the primary goal at any cost to win the next election for which the June 2010 deadline looms.
On Monday, Gordon Brown's Darling chancellor will announce emergency tax cuts in the region of £20 billion to get consumers spending during the Christmas period and advance of further announcements of tax cuts in the March budget of at least a further £25 billion, thus would escalate the already worsening budget deficit by £45 billion, which under normal circumstances would be shockingly high spending, however following the £500 billion cash hand out to the banking sector and the combined nationalisation of Northern Rock and Bradford and Bingley amounting to an estimated £120 billion, further spending of £45 billion is but a mere drop in the UK's fast expanding debt mountain.
UK real public debt is expected to soar far beyond the 2007 level of £614 billion towards an estimated £1,065 billion this year. This would put UK debt at an eye watering 81% pf GDP up from 46% of GDP in 2007. However worse is to come in 2009 and 2010 as the UK economy contracts and the short-fall between tax revenues and government spending is met by ever more government spending.
In addition to this the government will be forced to lend the bankrupt banking sector an additional £350 billion in loans and guarantees and another £50 billion in capital injections, as the true extent of bank losses due to their exposure to the deleveraging derivatives market could run to over £1 trillion of which the banks have so far barely scraped the surface off in terms of announced losses to date, these loans will not be repaid anytime soon and should be added to the countries balance sheet rather than the use off balance sheet accounting practices that is more or less how the banks originally got into difficulties in the first place with their own off balance sheet accounting practices to hide the extent of exposure to the over the counter derivatives.
Even if one used the governments preferred measure of recording public sector net debt that excludes all of the bailouts and nationalisations to date, this still shows that UK government debt will rise to 54% of GDP by the end of 2009 and bust through 60% of GDP by the end of 2010. However taking account of the bailouts and nationalisations government debt by the end of this year will sit at 81% of GDP, rising to 126% of GDP by the end of 2009, onward and upwards to 148% of GDP by the end of 2010.
Whilst undoubtedly consumers and tax payers will enjoy the tax cuts in the coming weeks and months, however Britain has already paid a high price for the borrowing which has manifested itself in the crash of sterling of 2008. Which is highly inflationary in the long run and ensures that Britain is heading for many years of stagflation following the deflationary bust of 2009 which means low economic growth coupled with high interest rates and high inflation as the country forced meet the consequences of servicing the increased debt burden.
The outbreak of panic sales of 20% plus off marks just the first stage of the consumer bust of 2009. Shoppers can expect more discounting the closer we get to Christmas, followed by deeper cuts during the January sales and later in 2009 by the 70% to 80% price cuts in the CLOSING DOWN SALES as many retailers go bust.
Given the amount of true debt the government is likely to wrack up over the next 2 years there is serious risk of expected stagflation turning into a hyper inflationary bust that could push inflation well above what we have experienced over the last few months, i.e. to above 10% per annum, but more on in this in the imminent inflation forecast.
The current severe deflationary price trend gives the government a window of opportunity to embark on an electioneering spending binge without worrying about the immediate consequences in terms of igniting inflation.
Although tax cuts and stimulus packages are at best only likely to delay the evitable by giving a short lived lift to the economy and feel good factor for traditional labour voters i.e. from the low paid to middle England. Therefore this suggests a last throw of the dice by Gordon Brown gamble on riding the consumer spending wave into an mid 2009 election probably during April or May 2009, as neither the £20 billion give away expected on Monday, nor the further £20 billion package of March 2009 be able to prevent the inevitable bust which is as a consequences of the deleveraging of the huge $500 trillion derivatives monster that seeks to claim most of the worlds biggest banks and looks set to claim formerly the worlds biggest bank Citicorp within the next few weeks as the banks share price collapses to less than 3% of its high as the bank looks set to be nationalised by the U.S. Treasury.
The real economic pain will follow hard on the heels of the next election no matter who wins, as the options available at that time will be limited given the literal doubling of government debt to over 80% of GDP which will mean tax rises and spending cuts as for every penny that Chancellor Darling announces on Monday and early next year will be recouped twice more during 2010 and which has been aptly labeled by the conservatives as a 'tax con'. In plain English, a £45 billion tax cut means a £90 billion tax hike later, due to the widening in the gap between revenue and spending, especially as after an election the government will have a window of at least 2 years for bad news in advance of creating the conditions for the boom leading up to the following election.
In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is... Prime Minister!
The uk would seem to be in worse ecomomic shape than dare we say it, America. I just cannot accept that the British people would vote for this all over again. Since when is buying votes in Britain considered politically posh or envogue. PM Gordon Brown is intent on spending his way through this next general election that is quite clear to all concerned, whats missing from his campaign platform is viable solutions to the economic crisis his fellow citizens face. This is why Ireland opted for sovereignty through political independence and has never looked back on that decision as a nation united, so should the scottish people consider this option for the sake of their children and grandchildren in truth.

In recent weeks pundits have lavished praise on Liverpool's attacking play. The accolades going as far as labelling them "title contenders". Arguably, their largest shortcoming is the number of goals they have conceded. Are Klopp's defensive men starting to turn that around?
Liverpool's free roaming midfield has cause problems for their opposition this season. A surprise statistic is that only Burnley have been able to stop them scoring in the Premier League. And, Liverpool have only dropped points to Burnley and Spurs with a 2-0 loss and a 1-1 draw respectively.
At this point in the Fantasy Premier League season most managers will have at least one Liverpool midfield option. Understandable, with the Liverpool being joint top-scorers with Man City. But, how many use a Liverpool defensive option?
Clyne is the most selected Liverpool defender with a selection percentage of 9.5%.
Milner, playing as a make shift wing-back, takes the eye of 5.5% of managers who are undoubtedly utilising his penalty-taking duties.
Lovern, the leader of the backline has a selection percentage of 3.6%.
Mignolet has been out of favour in recent matches and is selected by 2.8% of managers.
Matip, a free agent from Schalke, is the lowest scoring outfield option and features in 1.7% of teams.
Karius has the lowest selection percentage at 0.7% but has only started the last two games.
The next match for Liverpool is a Monday Night Football fixture against Man United. This is looking like their hardest fixture until GW 19, where they play Man City. Although, they do face local rivals Everton in GW17.
Liverpool's defence is not the finished article yet. Especially with Matip and Karius still new to the Premier League. But, the signs are looking good for the backline. A testing game against Man United on Monday awaits. The run of fixtures after that look good for their first clean sheet of the season.
So far this season, Liverpool have conceded 10 goals. That's the highest in the top 10 positions of the Premier League. But, putting that into context, 5 of those goals have been in the first two games of the season. A thrilling win over Arsenal on the opening day saw them win 4-3. But, that high was then followed by the 2-0 defeat to Burnley.
The last five games have seen Liverpool concede a single goal per game. That is despite facing Spurs, Champions Leicester and Chelsea. If you're looking for a defensive differential then a member of the Liverpool backline could be a good option in the coming weeks.

State panel hears misconduct case against East…
Fate of Contra Costa judge accused of misconduct up to judiciary disciplinary panel
By Nate Gartrell | ngartrell@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PUBLISHED: January 18, 2018 at 6:00 a.m. | UPDATED: January 18, 2018 at 11:41 p.m.
SAN FRANCISCO — The future of an embattled Contra Costa judge with a record of misconduct is now up to a judicial disciplinary panel who will decide whether he stays on the bench or not.
Superior Court Judge Bruce C. Mills reported himself to an oversight commission after a county prosecutor brought forth a new complaint against him, it was revealed during a judicial disciplinary hearing Wednesday.
Mills, who is facing two new counts of misconduct, appeared before a three-judge panel who listened to evidence from the state Commission on Judicial Performance — the government body that disciplines judges — as well as two witnesses testifying on the judge's behalf. The hearing began Wednesday and concluded Thursday. The panel's recommendations are expected within the next 60 days. If the charges are sustained, Mills — a judge since 1995 — could be removed from the bench.
Mills has been disciplined for misconduct five times since 2001, and the commission filed two new counts of misconduct against him last year. One alleges he illegally doubled a man's jail sentence in a contempt of court case by revoking his credits for good behavior, and the other alleges Mills had an improper courtroom conversation with a prosecutor about the DUI case they were handling, where he gave the prosecutor advice on how to handle the case.
One of the commission's witnesses was former presiding Judge Steve Austin, who testified Wednesday that he discussed the DUI case with Mills after the prosecutor, William Moser, brought forth a complaint to his supervisor. Austin testified that the judge recounted the conversation to him, but told Austin it was "small talk" and a "war story."
Still, Austin testified that he told Mills the conversation with Moser was a "potentially serious" matter and that he would likely report him to the commission and start his own investigation. Days later, Mills told Austin that he'd reported himself, Austin testified.
Moser also testified Wednesday, saying Mills initiated the exchange in the courtroom, minutes after the DUI trial had gone to the jury. He said Mills asked Moser something to the effect of, "Do you want to know what I would have done?" and told Moser he would have made an analogy about the science of honey bee flight when discussing the accuracy of the DUI breathalyzer in the case.
"Being an officer of the court, I didn't think it was an appropriate conversation," Moser, now a Solano County deputy district attorney, testified, adding that he informed his supervisor shortly thereafter.
Mills' attorney James Murphy, in his opening statement, said the judge was having a "social conversation" with Moser and made a "historical reference" to how breathalyzer tests were done decades ago when Mills was a prosecutor, but that the judge didn't believe he'd engaged in an inappropriate conversation.
With respect to the other count, Murphy told the panel that Mills had been legitimately confused as to whether good behavior time applied to a contempt sentence, so he ordered his clerk to write that the credits didn't apply, after he'd signed a sentencing order that made no mention of whether or not they applied. The man Mills jailed, Joseph Sweeney, is a judicial reform advocate who heavily criticized the commission and was found in contempt for publishing private information about his ex-wife during a contentious divorce proceeding.
The commission's attorney, Mark Lizarraga, pointed out to the panel that Mills had indicated several times that he believed the good time credits did apply, and that he later allowed the good time credits to stand after Sweeney's attorney complained, and after Mills discussed the matter with a supervising judge.
Murphy tried unsuccessfully to get both misconduct charges dismissed Wednesday, telling the panel in his opening statement that they were unfounded.
"These charges should have never been brought," Murphy said in his opening statement. Later in the hearing, the panel ruled it did not have the authority to dismiss the charges, but the judges gave no indication what they thought about the merits of the case against Mills.

Fairway Group Holdings Corp.
ROBBINS GELLER RUDMAN & DOWD LLP FILES CLASS
ACTION SUIT AGAINST FAIRWAY GROUP HOLDINGS CORP.
New York – February 18, 2014 – Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP ("Robbins Geller") (http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/fairway/) today announced that a class action has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all purchasers of the common stock of Fairway Group Holdings Corp. ("Fairway" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:FWM) pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement issued in connection with Fairway's April 17, 2013 initial public stock offering (the "IPO"), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from February 14, 2014. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Samuel H. Rudman or David A. Rosenfeld of Robbins Geller at 800/449-4900 or 619/231-1058, or via e-mail at djr@rgrdlaw.com. If you are a member of this class, you can view a copy of the complaint as filed or join this class action online at http://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases/fairway/. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
The complaint charges Fairway, certain of its officers and directors and the underwriters of the IPO with violations of the Securities Act. Fairway was founded in 1933 and is headquartered in New York, New York. The Company, together with its subsidiaries, operates food retail stores in twelve locations in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. At the time of the IPO, the Company had adopted an expansion plan it was then implementing to open hundreds of new stores to expand the Fairway chain to 300 stores nationwide.
On or about September 24, 2012, Fairway filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1, which would later be utilized for the IPO following several amendments in response to comments by the SEC. The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement, and the documents referenced and incorporated therein, was negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material facts or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading, and was not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing its preparation. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the Registration Statement failed to disclose and/or misrepresented the following adverse facts, among others, which existed at the time of IPO: (i) that the Company's operating and management structure were not capable of effectively running its expanding business; (ii) that the Company had millions of dollars of redundant costs built into its budget; (iii) that competitive pricing pressure from grocery chains like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's was negatively impacting same store sales trends and profit margins; and (iv) that the terms of a new store lease in the Chelsea section of Manhattan, were not financially viable.
Following the disclosure of multiple quarters of disappointing financial results following the IPO, several of the underwriters downgraded the Company's stock ratings and at the time of the filing of this lawsuit, Fairway stock was trading at under $8 per share, a decline of more than 37% from the IPO price of $13.00 per share.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Fairway common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company's April 17, 2013 IPO (the "Class"). The plaintiff is represented by Robbins Geller, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud.
Robbins Geller represents U.S. and international institutional investors in contingency-based securities and corporate litigation. With nearly 200 lawyers in ten offices, the firm represents hundreds of public and multi-employer pension funds with combined assets under management in excess of $2 trillion. The firm has obtained many of the largest recoveries and has been ranked number one in the number of shareholder class action recoveries in MSCI's Top SCAS 50 every year since 2003.

Badger Pass Ski Resort lets you enjoy the majesty of Yosemite without the summer crowds. Yosemite National Park is an area of stunning natural beauty and a visit to the park is a once in a lifetime experience. Each summer, over 3 million visitors make their way to see its spectacular geological structures, waterfalls and streams, and diverse flora and fauna. Unfortunately, this influx of tourists can lead to congestion on the park's roads and rest areas. What better way to visit Yosemite than in winter, as part of a day skiing?
Yosemite National Park was the home of some of the first organized skiing in California. A ski school was founded in the park in the late 1920s and a small ski hill at Tenaya Creek Bridge followed soon afterwards. Attempts were made to bring the 1932 Winter Olympics to Yosemite in conjunction with the summer games in Los Angeles. Despite losing the winter games to Lake Placid, New York, the first ski lift at Yosemite was built at Badger Pass in 1933. By the 1935/1936 ski season, over 25,000 people were coming to Badger Pass Ski Resort.
Today, Badger Pass Ski Resort has ten named runs serviced by five lifts. The vertical drop is 700 feet. The terrain at Badger Pass Yosemite is generally suited to beginners and intermediate skiers — an excellent place to bring a family. There are one or too advanced runs, but nothing to seriously challenge an expert.
Badger Pass' attraction, for skiers of any level, is its incredible setting. The view across the Sierra Nevada from the top of the lifts is awesome. Perhaps it is the natural beauty that fosters the friendly atmosphere. Skiing at Badger Pass Ski Resort is much more low-key experience than at Heavenly Valley or other Lake Tahoe resorts and with a much more laid-back crowd than at Big Bear or other Southern California ski areas. It is also relatively inexpensive; tickets start at about $30.
In addition to the downhill runs for skiers and snowboarders, Badger Pass Yosemite is the center for a large network of cross-country ski trails, with about 90 miles of marked trails, over 20 miles of which are groomed. Rental equipment and private guides are available for the uninitiated.
Badger Pass Ski Resort is about 230 miles from San Francisco on Highway 120 and about 300 miles from Los Angeles. The road to the Badger Pass is narrow and windy; in heavy snow it is advisable to the free shuttle from Yosemite Valley.
Most visitors will want to spend a few days at Badger Pass Yosemite to soak in the regions beauty. There is some fine accommodation near Badger Pass, including the famous Ahwahnee Hotel and the historic Wawona Hotel. Most hotels in the area survive on their summer trade, so it usually easy to get winter reservations.
Perhaps you've seen Yosemite National Park in the summer, behind a caravan of cars. A trip to Badger Pass Ski Resort is a perfect excuse to revisit it under a blanket of snow.

Kenwood, one of Chicago's 77 community areas, is on the shore of Lake Michigan on the South Side of the city. Its boundaries are 43rd Street, 51st Street, Cottage Grove Avenue, and the lake. Kenwood was originally part of Hyde Park Township, which was annexed to the city of Chicago in 1889. Kenwood was once one of Chicago's most affluent neighborhoods, and it still has some of the largest single-family homes in the city. It contains two Chicago Landmark districts, Kenwood and North Kenwood. A large part of the southern half of the community area is in the Hyde Park-Kenwood Historic District. In recent years, Kenwood has received national attention as the home of U.S. President Barack Obama.
3 Notable residents
Kenwood was settled in the 1850s by wealthy Chicagoans seeking respite from the increasing congestion of the city. The first of these residents was John A. Kennicott, who built his home near the Illinois Central Railroad at 48th Street. He named the home Kenwood after his ancestral land in Scotland, and when the Illinois Central Railroad built a small depot near 47th Street, they named the station Kenwood as well. Shortly afterwards, the name Kenwood began to be applied to the whole area.[3]
The southeastern portion of Kenwood contains the Indian Village neighborhood, which features the Chicago Landmark Powhatan Apartments and the National Register of Historic Places Narragansett. The 1902 Blackstone Library is another well-known landmark in the neighborhood. It continues to be part of the Chicago Public Library system. The recently reopened Hyde Park Art Center, located on Cornell Avenue just north of 51st Street and East Hyde Park Boulevard, is Chicago's oldest alternative exhibition space,[citation needed] with an on-site school and studio.
The area that contains the Hyde Park community area and the southern half of Kenwood (south of 47th Street) is sometimes referred to as Hyde Park-Kenwood.[4]
In the 1890s, the Kenwood Astrophysical Observatory, established by astronomer George Ellery Hale, was located in Kenwood close to the new (at that time) University of Chicago.
The public schools in Kenwood are Kenwood Academy, Canter Middle School, King College Prep High School, Ariel Community Academy, and Beula Shoesmith Elementary School. Private Schools in Kenwood include the Ancona Montessori School, Cambridge School of Chicago, Akiba-Schechter Jewish Day School, and Hales Franciscan High School.

En théorie des graphes, une cocoloration d'un graphe G est une affectation de couleurs aux sommets de telle sorte que chaque classe de couleur forme un ensemble indépendant dans G ou dans le graphe complémentaire de G. Le nombre cochromatique z( G ) de G est le plus petit nombre de couleurs nécessaires dans une cocoloration de G. Les graphes de nombre cochromatique 2 sont exactement les graphes bipartis, les compléments des graphes bipartis et les graphes divisés.

Comparaison

La condition que chaque classe de couleur est une clique ou est un ensemble indépendant est plus faible que la condition de la coloration (où chaque classe de couleur doit être un ensemble indépendant) et est plus forte que pour la  (où chaque classe de couleur doit être une union disjointe de cliques) ;  il s'ensuit que le nombre cochromatique de G est inférieur ou égal au nombre chromatique de G, et qu'il est supérieur ou égal au nombre sous-chromatique de G.

Asian Brides Agency: Your Chance at Family Happiness
In our day and age, it's becoming more and more common for people to stay single. It's also less and less uncommon for people to have relationships just for the sake of it, without genuine passion or romance. It is no wonder — our lives are so busy that we hardly have the time even to go out and meet someone, let alone start a romantic relationship and wait until it naturally grows into something meaningful. It always takes time that we cannot spare, and leads us to assume that this special one simply doesn't exist or, at least, not within our reach.
It's widely discussed how Internet alienates people. But it can also connect lonely hearts — take Asian mail order brides services, for example. Online dating gives opportunities unimaginable in previous times –and it's far more convenient and effortless that our conventional dating, too. You can "date" whenever and wherever it's comfortable for you. More importantly, you have access to thousands of profiles of gorgeous women who are after the same thing you are — a passionate yet sensible relationship that will result in a happy and lasting family. With such variety, everyone can find a perfect match, regardless of what features of appearance, traits of character, or other details one may seek in a partner.
Western gentlemen dating Asian women
Interracial dating, let alone marriages, used to be a taboo practice. Some people (perhaps even someone you know) might still be reluctant to the idea. Today, however, it's apparent that there are no rational reasons for such taboos. And even if we go beyond the rational level, most gentlemen will admit that they feel allured by exotic cultures and the idea of dating someone whose cultural background is drastically different from theirs. Those who did try interracial or international dating will also admit that true love knows no cultural or language barriers. The drive to love and be loved is universal for people of all nationalities and ethnicities.
As such, if you're disappointed with your local dating scene, it should only be an additional reason for you to take your chance with someone from elsewhere — perhaps even across the globe. Just look at all those celebrities whose hearts hot Asian women have conquered — actors and rock stars, businessmen and politicians, and maybe even some of your friends. Apparently, marrying Asian beauties is a growing tendency, and tendencies always have firm reasons behind them.
Indeed, Asian women have proved to be equally desirable for both passionate romance and long-term relationships, as well as anything in between. Of course, it doesn't mean that every gentleman must find these women desirable, but since you're reading this, you must have at least some interest in them. In our article, we'll provide some information about what makes Asian brides so sought-after. We couldn't dream of covering all the benefits of having a lovely Asian girl as your lifetime partner, but we will mention the essential traits that make these ladies stand out.
What makes Asian brides incredible wives?
Longevity of a marriage. It's apparent that when one chooses potential wives using a search filter and refines all the possible traits and features, the chances of a successful and lasting marriage increase. With Asian brides, however, there's an additional factor involved. Once they set their mind on marrying and creating a family, they want it for life. As such, this beautiful girl will not see divorce as an option and will do everything she can to keep the marriage working. That's why international marriages with Asian mail order brides almost never lead to divorces, according to the relevant stats.
Age category. Some men feel embarrassed by it, but we must admit that younger women are usually more desirable for marriage than their more mature counterparts, even though exceptions to this tendency aren't all that rare. If you'd like to marry a younger girl, you'll be delighted to find out that most (about 60%) lady clients of mail order brides services are between18 and 25 years old and haven't been married before.
Cross-cultural communication. If you fail to find a woman to be your ideal match in your area, the reasons may be cultural. It may be that the women in your country don't coincide with your idea of femininity. If that is the case, then it only makes sense to seek out a soulmate from a different, more tradition-oriented culture.
The happiness of being married to an Asian wife
Asian women are as diverse in their traits as women in any other place, including your area. However, it's possible to draw a list of somewhat standard personality features that most beautiful Asian women will share because of their cultural background, still leaving much room for the lady to express her individuality and surprise you.
Advocacy of patriarchy. In many parts of Asia, women can enjoy equal rights with men in terms of education and career, but the man-shaming kind of feminism that you may or may not have encountered in your country has not set foot in these lands — not yet, at least. Children, including girls, are brought up in genuine respect toward the elders, especially the head of the family — the father. Surely, nobody is obliged to agree with him on every point, but they are taught to express their opinions privately, not to embarrass him and the entire family in public. Likewise, as the little girl grows up to be a beautiful Asian bride, she will express the same attitude toward the head of her new family — her husband.
Prioritizing family. An Asian woman can get the best education in the world and have a spectacular career, but that won't stop her from becoming an even more spectacular mother, even if she has to sacrifice her previous achievements for that. When that happens, she might take non-regular part-time jobs, but the role of the breadwinner will be left to the head of the family. Only when the children are out of the home will she consider re-embarking on a full-scale career.
Lifetime devotion. As we have mentioned, when young Asian girls choose to enter into a marriage, they expect it to be for life. They mean every word of their wedding vows with all sincerity. Whatever life may have in store for the couple, even an idle thought of betraying her beloved husband's trust will never cross her mind. It's just not in their culture code to divorce or re-marry. Making a marriage work and last is a must for them.
Ladylike looks and character. Asian ladies are a treasury of millennia-old secrets of preserving their natural beauty for decades. They are also no strangers to newer technologies aimed at the same goal. It's a no brainer to guess who's the biggest beneficiary here — the husband, of course, because he's the one who gets to enjoy it the most. Likewise, he will get to enjoy his Asian wife's flawless manners. These women are proud but not arrogant, mild-tempered but not timid, easy-going but not easy, — exactly the way one imagines a real lady.
Who Asian mail order brides are and who they aren't?
There are so many misconceptions circling about mail order brides in general and those from Asia in particular, that there are indeed some myths to debunk:
"All they're interested in is your wallet." Nobody is safe from encountering a genuine coldhearted gold-digger at some point in their lives, and Asian mail order brides websites are as good a place to find them as any other. However — believe it or not, Asian singles on these websites will often hold an academic degree and will always have a career to sustain money. They are quite capable of providing for themselves. So, financial matters are not their primary motivation. Their motivation is quite similar to yours: in brief, they cannot find a soulmate in their area, so they expand their search. And, of course, adventurous spirit and the desire to experience other cultures are in place, too.
"They are desperate to leave their s—thole of a country." In fact, most Asian countries are quite well off economically, and people can have all the opportunities they want at home. Moreover, they are always close with their families and wouldn't consider leaving them to settle somewhere across the ocean unless they meet someone special and are 100% convinced that they will build a happy family far from home.
"This whole endeavor is ungodly expensive." Since you are looking for the kind of woman that we have described, we might assume that you are a conservative-minded person. As such, looking for hot Asian girls to marry without being ready for it financially should be out of the question for you anyway. As for dating and marrying an Asian woman, it's easy to calculate the costs in advance:
The dating platform. Reputable dating platforms will charge for their services, even if only to ensure the genuine intentions of their users. You'll see that a portion of their features will be available for free, but just enough to give you a taste of their service. To enjoy the full range of their services, you'll have to upgrade to Premium. Those services will include advanced means of communication, including video chats, translator's services, and many other useful perks. The price of the subscription will usually begin from $20-25 per month, but it drops if you purchase a longer subscription plan — for several months or a year. Prolonged subscription plans are also recommended because, as an earnest gentleman, you must understand that a mere month cannot be enough to find the right lady and get to know her appropriately enough before you make the next step.
Travel-related expenses. When the time comes to meet in real life, the brides agency will most likely offer to have your travel arranged for you — from plane tickets and hotel reservations to tour guide services and other leisure. Still, you'll have to pay for it all yourself. For some countries, you may even require a visa, which may involve extra fees. Those expenses will vary from place to place, but it's always possible to calculate the necessary budget.
Dowry. In many parts of Asia, the tradition of compensating the family for their beloved daughter is still in practice. In some places, this tradition is purely symbolic, but in others, the amount of dowry may reach up to $15,000.
Connecting with Asian mail order brides
There are enough Asian women dating websites out there to leave even a seasoned online dater confused. Naturally, some of them are less trustworthy than others. That's why a healthy dose of precaution won't hurt. Picking the right dating platform for you isn't complicated at all. All you need to do is avoid rushing to sign up with the first website that turns out in your search results. Instead, you'd better take your time and read through the customer feedback of a particular service to get the idea of what users like about this particular website and what irks them.
The best Asian dating sites will often have a non-moderated feedback section right there on their website. There are also third-party websites that aggregate customer reviews and testimonials about this niche. They also usually have professional writers review various dating websites, and those reviews may be even more insightful. Putting it briefly, researching about those websites and becoming well-informed won't take too much of your time and effort, but it will undoubtedly be well worth it. In addition to being able to tell a trustworthy website from an ill-intended one, you'll become aware of all their details — target audience, range of services, prices, etc. It will help you pick the right dating platform where you can meet Asian women safely and efficiently, regardless of whether you prefer a hot Asian teen or a mature woman who knows life.


Arlington, VA – February 11, 2019 – This March, PBS Distribution will be releasing five new programs on DVD "VICTORIA & ALBERT: THE WEDDING," "NOVA: APOLLO'S DARING MISSION," "USS INDIANAPOLIS: THE FINAL CHAPTER," "NATURE: EQUUS: STORY OF THE HORSE," and "NOVA: PLUTO AND BEYOND." Information about each of the programs is listed below.
This two-part British drama produced by BBC Studios for PBS and BBC gives an insider's look into the elaborate planning that went into one of the most famous weddings of all time: the romantic 1840 union of Queen Victoria and her consort Prince Albert. Host and Royal historian Lucy Worsley, along with a team of experts, oversees the meticulous recreation of the most important and fascinating elements of the wedding celebration, from the food and the music to the tiered cake, exquisite white wedding dress, and more. Scouring all available materials, including Victoria's own diaries for details, the program reveals how the pomp and pageantry secured the nation's unwavering attention as Victoria gained favor with her subjects and invented the modern ideal of marriage.
setback when Apollo 1 ended in a deadly fire during a pre-launch run-through the year before. In disarray, and threatened by the prospect of a Soviet Union victory in the space race, NASA decided upon a radical and risky change of plan: turn Apollo 8 from an earth-orbit mission into a daring sprint to the moon while relying on untried new technologies. Fifty years after the historic mission, the Apollo 8 astronauts and engineers recount the feats of engineering that paved the way to the moon.
In the waning days of World War II, less than three weeks before the Japanese surrendered, the U.S. Navy experienced a catastrophic disaster. The USS Indianapolis, the pride and joy of the U.S. Navy, had just delivered the components of the atomic bomb destined for Hiroshima when she is sunk by a Japanese sub. 300 sailors go down with her, and the 900 survivors drift for four and a half days, battling the sun, thirst, sharks, and their own fear. Ultimately, only 316 of them are pulled from the sea alive. The sinking of Indianapolis remains the U.S. Navy's worst single loss of life at sea. The program flashes back and forth in time between the Indianapolis' history and her ultimate fate, and 2017, when explorers finally found the ship's remains 18,000 feet below the surface of the Philippine Sea. Viewers will hear first-hand accounts from survivors about those horrific days trying to survive and how they feel today, now that the USS Indianapolis has been found.
Ever since the beginning of time, humans and horses have had an extraordinary and unusual partnership. As a result, horses have helped shape the human world. In this program, viewers join anthropologist Dr. Niobe Thompson and equine experts on a two-part adventure around the world and throughout time to discover the origins of the horse and what makes us so perfect for each other. In part one, Origins, viewers experience a stunning 3D reconstruction as a realistic animation of the 45 million-year-old ancestor of the horse, the Dawn horse, rises from a fossil bed and begins a transformation into the magnificent animal we know today. Viewers discover why horses have almost 360-degree vision and gallop on a single toe. In part two of the program, Chasing the Wind, viewers encounter extraordinary horse breeds from Saudi Arabia to Kentucky to Serbia. They also meet the horses of Sable Island that are truly returning to the wild ways of their ancestors, and how horses have evolved to be able to survive the most extreme climates on earth – from the bitter cold of the Siberian Arctic to the scorching heat of the Arabian Desert. Filmed over 18 months across three continents, the program not only explores the horse and its biology but how humans have partnered with the horse throughout the centuries, creating more than 400 breeds found all around the world.
When the New Horizons spacecraft whizzed by Pluto in 2015, we Earthlings were dazzled by the breathtaking images it beamed home. They revealed a never-before-seen alien landscape - a world of mountains made of ice mixed with plains of frozen-solid methane and nitrogen. After more than two years of poring over the data, NASA has made remarkable new discoveries about everyone's favorite dwarf planet. But New Horizons didn't stop there. On New Year's Day 2019, the probe flew by an object known now as Ultima Thule, believed to be a primordial building block of the solar system. This is the most distant flyby in NASA's history - 4 billion miles from Earth. If successful, it will shed light on one of the least understood regions of our solar system: the Kuiper Belt. NOVA was embedded with the New Horizons mission team as the team uncovered in real time the secrets of what lies beyond Pluto.

Q: how can you pulse a progress bar in Qt? Is there a way of using CSS or something else to make a pulsing QProgressBar in pyqt as illustrated below?

The default progress bar has an animation when using the windows vista theme, but I'm not sure how to edit it.

A: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qgraphicsdropshadoweffect.html
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qgraphicseffect.html#details
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qpropertyanimation.html
This should get you what you want.  Combine the dropshadow effect (large blur radius + green + zero offset) with a looping QPropertyAnimation (adjusting the opacity property), and you have your flashing, glowing progress bar.

After 25 years as a police officer with the Carson City Sheriff's Department, Scott Burau on Tuesday announced his candidacy for sheriff.
"This is not a decision I came to lightly. This is a huge, serious commitment not only to this agency, but to the community in which I serve and to whom I'm accountable," he said.
Burau, 48, first began working for the department in 1977 when Carson City had a population of 18,000. Now, Carson City has grown to an estimated 54,000 residents.
"I've felt the growing pains of an increasing population and the increased demand on this sheriff's department," he said. The department has about 133 employees and a yearly budget of $11 million dollars.
Burau is chief deputy of operations overseeing the command and patrol division, the detective division, the lab and evidence units, the communications division, the reserve organizations and acts in the capacity of public information officer.
Burau named four issues he is passionate about for Carson City.
"Drugs. Are we doing something about this? Yes we are, but obviously with the number of arrests we make for narcotics-related offenses, we aren't making a huge enough dent," he said. "Enforcement has to go hand in hand with education, but the thrust of the Sheriff's Office should remain as the enforcement arm and assist in the mentoring and counseling and educational process.
Gangs are also an issue for Burau.
Traffic in Carson City is another problem Burau wants to tackle.
He said a recent grant means the department can put an additional patrol officer on the street.
Technology, Burau believes, is important for the department's growth.
In his current position, Burau has been involved in budgeting and hiring. He's been instrumental in getting grants and implementing programs that placed deputies in the schools and added detectives to the Tri-Net drug task force, he said.
"I enjoy a professional working relationship with our local government officials as it relates to government concerns," he said.
Married for 22 years to wife Colette, Burau's daughter Nicole is graduating from Arizona State and plans to go to graduate school at Purdue. His son, Josh, is a junior at Carson High School, a member of the varsity baseball program and has plans to graduate early and start college.
Prior to joining the Carson City sheriff's department, Burau worked four years for the University of Nevada, Reno, police department while earning his bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
"Being the sheriff of Carson City is serious business. It's not for the faint of heart or the ill prepared. These are serious times where experience and background is paramount. I have a stake in the direction this community is going and I think I have the background and the expertise to take this agency forward. My commitment and delivery of service is and will remain my number one priority," he said.


Stress has become commonplace among the sufferings of the worldwide population.
Many are the consequences caused by this disease, and among them we can mention the fact that anxiety increases, so, often can lead us to break.
It is known that stress is a normal body response to situations of danger or alert. Initially, it helps us to react quickly and effectively. However, when this condition is maintained for too long, leading to unwanted symptoms and can damage our health. Sometimes, stress causes increase our appetite, and in those cases, usually eat foods that are not the most suitable for our diet. To learn to control stress levels, the first step is to recognize the causes that cause. Make a list and write down all the situations that produce stress. Then you sort them by first placing the most affecting you and ultimately the least. Once this list, you have to sit and think and devise strategies to cope with stress. Along with every stressful situation, note whether it is something that is in your hands to change (or not) and what could be a solution.
Food: Eat a balanced diet, because not only will you look and feel better about yourself, but it will significantly improve your health.
Exercise: More than it is known that exercise helps relieve stress, while, incidentally, helps burn calories. Also, while you exercise endorphins are released, and they are the responsible of causing that feeling of pleasure and well-being after that you exercise.
Rest: Try to sleep minimally 6 to 8 hours each night. To sleep better, you should reduce (or avoid) the consumption of coffee and alcoholic beverages.
Balance: Remember that in life there is a time for everything, recreation is a point we must not forget. Meet friends, listen to music, spend some time doing what we like it is essential to feel good about ourselves.
If you're one of those people who find it uncontrollable stress, it is best to seek professional help. And remember, if you're quieter, it will be easier to meet all your obligations and enjoy your life.


Nottingham is celebrating 30 years of successful operations in downtown Rocky Mount.
Nottingham has proven that a cutting-edge financial services back office can operate successfully far from Wall Street.
Based in downtown Rocky Mount, Nottingham celebrated its 30th year of investment fund operations in August.
The company began in the late 1980s, rising to satisfy a need in the investment advisory community. Investment advisory firms were becoming commonplace at that time, with many firms sprouting from bank trust departments that were the predominate investment managers throughout most of the 20th century.
Principals of the new independent investment advisory firms wanted a solution to the cumbersome task of administering hundreds of separately managed accounts.
Meadows called on the trusts and estates legal expertise of his father to examine possible alternatives. Eventually, SEC-registered mutual funds were decided upon as the preferred vehicle. Nottingham registered its first three funds in 1988.
The company has since expanded into other types of investment funds.
In 1995, Nottingham organized an early hedge fund in partnership with Sir John Templeton of mutual fund fame. Nottingham was also selected by an investment consulting firm in Atlanta to handle all operations for several groups of Catholic hospitals consolidating their operations in the late 1990s.
First Union called upon Nottingham to provide back-office support for several government investment pools for which First Union and later Wachovia and Wells Fargo were managing fixed income portfolios. These government investment vehicles have been a significant backbone of Nottingham operations since 2000.
As investment vehicles have evolved, Nottingham has evolved to handle them, including closed end interval funds and the ability to organize and administer ETFs as of 2017. At present, the firm handles approximately $26 billion in assets under administration, having organized well over 200 funds. According to Institutional Investor, Nottingham is the largest privately owned fund administration firm based in the U.S.
Nottingham has maintained its commitment to Rocky Mount, turning down several opportunities to sell the firm, with primary interest coming from non-U.S. based fund administration firms seeking a foothold in the U.S.
"It has always come down to a concern that the operations would be moved out of Eastern North Carolina," Meadows said.
Nottingham President Kate Honey feels a primary company strength is its local team.
