Cold Lake reaches agreement with federal government over golf course

The City of Cold Lake has reached agreements with the federal government that will allow the city to continue operating the Cold Lake Golf and Winter Club on CFB Cold Lake.
On March 9, city council unanimously passed a motion to enter into several five-year agreements with the federal government to continue operating the golf course, curling rink, and pro shop.
The agreements also allow either party to exit the agreement "within a reasonable time frame."
The city is in a prolonged dispute with the federal government over Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT), an amount paid to municipalities instead of property tax.
Prior to 2012, the amount was calculated by a mutually agreed-upon assessor. In that year, the federal government appointed its own assessor, who reported much lower values for federal property within Cold Lake boundaries.
Several municipalities, including Cold Lake, are taking the federal government to court over the matter.
In 2019, the federal government advised the city that it would not pay any PILT at all on the land occupied by the Golf and Winter Club, even though it is federal property. In March 2020, the city advised the base that it would terminate its agreement to run the facilities if a solution could not be found.
The city and the base reached an agreement to allow the curling club to operate for the 2020-2021 season, but curling was shut down by Covid-19 restrictions.
The city says the Government of Canada has an outstanding municipal tax bill of approximately $13.1 million, plus $13.4 million in penalties, totalling approximately $26.5 million owing to the city.
Cold Lake mayor Craig Copeland says the city's dispute is not with CFB Cold Lake (4 Wing).
"The PILT issue is complicated and is in litigation, but it's important to realize that the issue is between the City of Cold Lake and the Government of Canada," Copeland said. "It was only due to our exceptional relationship with 4 Wing leadership that we were able to arrive at the agreements we did."
He said the Golf and Winter Club adds to the overall quality of life in Cold Lake for military personnel as well as civilian residents.
"We're really happy to keep it part of the total recreation that the city offers," Copeland said. "You know, it comes close to breaking even. It's probably about 80 per cent or so funded by revenue, which is great. For a net deficit for the taxpayer, it's pretty minor compared to some of the other recreational facilities we operate."
He said the golf course on the base complements the other courses in the region to give local players a lot of choice and to help attract visitors.
"It's a gem, and it's all part of this economic driver to bring people to Cold Lake to come golfing and to recreate," he said. "It all fits in the package."
Now that the City of Cold Lake has an agreement in place to operate the Golf and Winter Club, the annual Swing 'n' Sweep golf tournament and bonspiel should be in a position to return this September – pandemic protocols permitting. FILE PHOTOS BY JEFF GAYE

Evans Standard Tom Pack (12", 13", 16") G1 clear single-ply drum heads are designed with a perfect blend of warmth, sustain and articulation while featuring expressiveness and durability. The G1 series features a single ply of 10mil film blending bright tone, sustain, sensitivity, and durability. The G1 head sets the standard for an open and expressive sound. Tuned low, it produces a cavernous rumble that emphasizes the natural sound of the shell. The coated version delivers additional warmth, focus, and depth. Evans Level 360 technology is incorporated to extend the level playing surface of the drumhead, 360 degrees around the drum. The vertically enhanced collar design guarantees even contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell, resulting in: ease of tuning, extended pitch range and optimum quality of sound. Evans Level 360 technology resolves the age-old dilemma of traditional synthetic heads consistently not fitting the drum shell without using considerable force.


As soon as I've finished this I'm going to start preparing for a wonderfully warm and sunny weekend. I need to get a few chores done, including my weekly wander round the supermarket filling my trolley. However, tomorrow, my "big shop" is going to be heavily based around "dining al fresco". Lovely Husband is going to give the barbecue the once-over to make sure we have enough gas to keep it burning for most of the weekend and whilst he is doing that I shall be perusing the WLR recipe database.
That's what we would all like to have. We all know how we would like our body to be in our ideal world. Some of us are born with stick-straight figures and long for curves; some of us wish that perhaps we were a couple of inches taller; or that our curly hair was straight… the list could go on and on. The reason many of us are here on WLR is because we want to shrink or maintain our weight and shape, we want to see ourselves in the mirror and think "brilliant".
But the fact is, we all already have brilliant bodies. They are amazing machines capable of so many things, most of which go unnoticed and unremarked as our organs and flesh and bones quietly go about their business. We breathe, move, sleep all on a "subconscious" level, it happens and we rarely think about it.


Google is no stranger to closing down services they feel have run their course, with Google Reader being a prime example. One popular service that has been on everybody's "will they/won't they" list for many years has been FeedBurner, a service that provides detailed statistics and tools for RSS feeds.
FeedBurner has received no updates in years and many of its features (such as its API and AdSense integration) have been discontinued. Many websites, such as 5by5 and 512 Pixels, have moved away from the service simply because all the signs point to it being shut down.
Earlier this year, a service called FeedPress (previously known as URI.LV) appeared with the aim to provide a worthwhile, and viable, alternative to FeedBurner. Let's see how it compares, and whether it's ready to take the RSS synchronization crown.

As is always the case with challenges such as this, it falls to Labour to make the political case for action. Because inevitably the Tories will revert back to their time honoured answer - people are on their own and can sink or swim accordingly.
"There is no point knocking doors here. There won't be many people at home. Let's just deliver leaflets." It was a Monday morning in April 2015, and I was keen to meet as many voters as possible, so I ignored the advice. I'm glad I did. For that morning I met a number of people, working from home, self-employed, trying to use every hour productively.
That I met so many is unsurprising. The reality is we are seeing an unprecedented boom in self-employment in this country.
According to the ONS, between 2010 and 2014, the number of self-employed people increased by 663,000. Indeed, in 2014, 15 per cent of the workforce was self-employed, some 4.6 million people. This isn't just a major spike in our history, it also gives us the highest rates of self-employment in the G7.
This extraordinary rise shows little sign of reversing. Which throws up a huge number of policy questions if we want to ensure that this rapidly changing employment market doesn't leave millions of workers precariously standing alone at the mercy of market forces.
As the party that wants to ensure people from every background have a platform to make the most of their talents, Labour understand that for many people self-employment offers a number of attractions, not least independence.
Many of the self-employed people I speak to tell me that they enjoy being their own boss, or having the flexibility to work their hours around the other things that are important in their lives, like child care or studying. Before my election last May, I was self-employed, so I know the advantages it can sometimes bring.
However, it's also clear that existing systems have been too slow to catch up with a rapidly changing economy. So for too many people the flexibility, comes at the price of a lack of security.
As it stands, self-employed people have no entitlement to statutory sick pay. Self-employed mothers are only entitled to maternity allowance instead of full maternity pay. This is particularly significant, because whilst the majority of the self-employed are still men, the number of self-employed women is growing fastest. With around half of additional jobs taken up by women between 2008 and 2015 being self-employed.
The New Policy Institute-Citizens' Advice report, "Who are the self-employed?" found that, in 2015, only 17 per cent of the self-employed were in a pension scheme, compared to 52 per cent of employees, with that latter figure likely to rise even further with the continued rollout of pensions auto-enrolment. Neither are all self-employed people high earners. In fact, the median income from self-employment in 2013-14 was £209 per week.
There's also the problem that in some areas the status of self-employment is being used as a convenient label, to deny workers their rights.
Since it can be advantageous for employers to categorise workers as self-employed for national insurance purposes, the report estimated that government could be losing as much as £314 million per year from the coffers.
The construction union UCATT have run effective campaigns exposing this kind of malpractice by some umbrella companies. Yet more needs to be done to uncover and stamp out such exploitation.
Bogus self-employment isn't only an issue for the self-employed themselves. In many sectors of the economy it can also result in a race to the bottom of conditions, driving down standards for all workers.
These are just some of the factors that combine to create a complex challenge. New technology and ways of working have the potential to give millions of people the chance to enjoy far greater freedom. However, there's also a risk that growing atomisation of people will see many of the workplace protections that previous generations struggled to secure wiped away.
As a Labour historian, I know that such challenges have faced our movement in every generation. We have always risen to the task. Now we must do so again to show that Labour has the answers for the workplace in 2020 and beyond.
I'm proud that as shadow employment minister I have a chance to play my part in that vital work.

Partner Tim Belevetz Co-Authors Book Chapter
Timothy Belevetz
Tim Belevetz, a partner in Ice Miller's White Collar Criminal Defense and Investigations Practice, co-authored a chapter in the recently published From Baksheesh to Bribery: Understanding the Global Fight Against Corruption and Graft.
From the U.S. Foreign Corruption Act to the U.K. Bribery Act and beyond, governmental anti-corruption efforts have been ramping up globally. From Baksheesh to Bribery offers a country-by-country survey of anti-corruption laws and enforcement practices with a comprehensive analysis of the Justice Department's enforcement approach to global corruption and practitioner-focused how-to modules to inform practitioners, in-house counsel, compliance personnel, academics and others about the varying perspectives on corruption and how to fight it.
Tim co-authored the chapter on Cuba, which examines the country's anti-corruption legal regime. While high-level corruption on a large scale is less common in Cuba than in other parts of the world, including elsewhere in Latin America, lower-level corruption is widespread. Over the years, the long-ruling Castro regime has taken a number of approaches to curbing corruption that are incorporated into the Cuban Penal Code. In the chapter, Tim analyzes those laws, including the conduct that forms the basis of an offense and the associated penalties, Cuba's participation in international anti-corruption conventions and privacy and data protections, and forecasts the prospects for additional reform.
For more information on From Baksheesh to Bribery, visit the Oxford University Press.
Timothy Belevetz is a partner in Ice Miller's White Collar Criminal Defense and Litigation Groups. A former federal prosecutor and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission attorney, he focuses his practice on white collar criminal defense, internal investigations and SEC enforcement. He represents companies and individuals in a range of government investigations and enforcement actions, including matters involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other potential corporate misconduct. Tim also provides compliance counseling designed to help prevent the need for such investigations.

Аннотация: In concluding the researcher stated that, ICT may have important organization operational and educational advantages, but without support and potential end-user training could prove an expensive disaster. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilities are available for organization and individual business operations support. It becomes increasingly exciting to map the information technology resources availability, accessibility, user knowledge, effective support to organization growth, management commitment in IT use, and importance of ICT Policy and the attitudes of users towards information technology use. This study investigated IT user skill levels, LAN accessibility, ICT facilities availability and usage, end-user attitudes on IT and the contribution of ICT in organization growth at Bugando University College of health sciences (BUCHS). Some of the problems that can hinder ICT utilization encountered during the research are lack of well-trained technician to support the maintenance of ICT facilities and inefficient utilization of the available facilities that was the result of large number of end-users with average computer skills.

Sounding Boards and Secret Societies
Log Archive » Logs for April 2011 » Sounding Boards and Secret Societies
Evan confides in Marcie about his work with some secret societies dealing with time travel.
It's been a few weeks since Evan and Marcie have seen one another in person. A couple of short phone calls— but he was tied up with his work at the university, or she with hers on the road.
As he approaches the restaurant where they finally arranged to meet up again, he leans against a nearby stretch of wall, pausing to rub his eyes. He's been working longer nights the past couple of weeks… and staying up later at night, dwelling on the outlines of a project he only barely understands.
Marcie's last few weeks haven't been very exciting. Except for a few deliveries in bad parts of town. But that's par for the course in her line of work. She walks toward the restaurant, half looking forward to dinner and half dreading it. Looking forward because Evan is easy on the eyes and a pretty good conversationalist. Dreading because Marcie still gets the feeling he wants more out of their relationship than she does. Not to mention that she still thinks he suspects her of being Evolved. But, she agreed to the dinner, so she might as well make the most of it. She's dressed up a bit for tonight, wearing a blouse and slacks, rather than jeans.
Sensing Evan through his ability, Marcie approaches him where he's holding up the wall. "Hi, Evan. Been waiting long?" She smiles. Even from out here, she can tell that one of the people in the restaurant is Evolved, but she tries not to notice.
Caught off guard - he didn't see her coming, and then suddenly there's that familiar voice - Evan blinks as he looks up again. "Yeah— I mean, no, just a few minutes. Traffic let up for once, huh?" Now that he's spotted her, he takes a few moments to size her up afresh. No butter face there, either. It's a tenuous relationship, admittedly, but his last couple ended up in such a hash that he'll take what he can get.
"Looks like, but I took the subway." Marcie doesn't own a car, and she left her bike at home tonight. They walk into the restaurant. Marcie can tell now that the other Evolved is one of the waiters. Something about air manipulation. She focuses back on Evan. "Ready to sit down?"
Evan nods, glancing briefly toward the street before following her inside. The conversation is put on hold long enough to get seated and get some drinks. "Could I get a cup of coffee?" he says to the waiter. Yup, that one. "Long night last night." And it shows; he's a little paler than she would have remembered from before.
"I'll take a coke," Marcie orders. She's all for coffee, but more in the mornings than at night. She makes sure she takes the seat facing the kitchen, giving less opportunities for the waiter to cross behind her. As he leaves to fill their drink orders, she addresses Evan. "So, what were you up to last night?" She wears a smile and her eyebrows are arched.
Hmm… how much should he tell her? How much would she actually want to know? Well, he brought it up in the first place, so he has to say something, at least. Evan rests his chin in his hands, asking Marcie a question more matter-of-fact than it has any right to be. "Do you believe in time travel?"
Marcie blinks at Evan for a moment. Is he serious? That is not what she expected him to say. She was more expecting an awkward telling about some other girl. Or perhaps a late night of research. "If I say 'yes', do I get to hear the rest of the story?" True or not, it should be good with a beginning like that.
"That is kind of the idea," he murmurs, dryly. Evan keeps his voice low: just one more conversation among many, nothing worth gawking at. "I mean, there are all sorts of other abilities running around. I've never met one, that I know of, but… there's circumstantial evidence that something has actually been going on. Maybe actual travel, maybe just sending back information. Or looking ahead and gathering information that way, I don't know."
With her power, Marcie has sensed a lot of different abilities from the people around her over the past years. She has not, however, ever come across a time-traveler. That doesn't mean they don't exist. She decides she's willing to keep her mind open. As he said, there are all sorts of other abilities running around. "Ok. So what does this have to do with last night?"
Evan takes another quick look around, not so much for mysterious conspirators as just nosy bystanders. Looks like the coast is still clear. "Long story short - and assuming that the people I've met have been honest - there's a group trying to steer events toward specific targets. And another one trying to steer them away, because— well, some of it looks to get pretty ugly. I've been going through some of the information and trying to figure out how."
"And which side are you on?" Marcie asks. She tries her best not to sound like she's humoring him. The way Evan is talking, referencing a vague 'Them' who's out to destroy everyone, he sounds like your run-of-the-mill conspiracy nut. But she's never known Evan to go off the deep end. Then again, she hasn't known Evan very long, or very well.
The waiter returns with their drinks, setting the beverages in front of their intended recipients. "Are you two ready to order, or do you need another minute?" He's in his early twenties, and generally has the look of someone trying to work their way through college.
"I— think we need a minute." Evan glances over to Marcie for confirmation— he's had a menu open, but has only really given it a cursory glance.
"Currently, the second one," he continues, after the waiter moves on. "The thing is, the first group is assumed to be doing it because they think they need to, to avoid the risk of even worse things happening. Which sounds sketchy, but if they turn out to be right…" He gestures vaguely: this is about as far as his own information goes, without bogging down in a sea of details.
Marcie hasn't even had the chance to open her menu. She does so as the waiter walks away, but focuses on Evan rather than the list of entrees and appetizers.
"I'm sorry, but all this talk of mystery men and secret plans sounds kind of far fetched. How did you get this information? And what happened last night?" That last question started the whole story, but Evan still hadn't answered it.
"Oh, last night I was just digging through some of the information. After the stuff I was doing for Columbia anyway." Okay, so he was doing some research, sort of.
Evan turns to another page of the menu, shrugs and sets it aside again. "And yeah, it sounds a little crazy, but there's so much— nobody would go to that much trouble just to fool me into something. You remember the mass visions last July? I was on the subway when it happened, I ended up talking with one of the other passengers and it got him talking about that sort of thing."
"So this information came to you in a vision?" Marcie asks. She's still a little foggy on how Evan had learned of these secret plots.
Evan sighs, shaking his head. "No, I just blacked out— or sensed nothingness, or something. It was about as confusing as it sounds. He said maybe there was a version of the future where I was already dead— and I did take a stray bullet a couple weeks later, so there might have been something to it."
Marcie begins to think she's losing track of this story. "You blacked out last summer, or you blacked out recently? When did you get the information about the two groups?" It seemed unlikely that information procured in July had suddenly now become the cause of late nights. Something had to have happened in the last few weeks. There is definitely a part of this story I'm missing.
Evan nods. "Yeah— the first one. Last summer. I got the information a few months ago, I'd been working on it off and on… just a couple weeks ago that I started to get somewhere with it. Of course, that just went and opened up a bunch more questions."
The waiter returns. "Ready to order?" he asks, completely oblivious to their topic of conversation.
Marcie looks up. "I haven't looked at the menu yet. Just put me down for some kind of chicken salad."
"Yeah, sorry, we've been…" Evan trails off briefly, letting him fill in the blank however he likes. "The tuna sounds good." He watches to make sure the guy's wandered off again— long enough to see him catch someone else's dropped fork faster than he could actually reach down and grab it. Oh, great, he thinks to himself, hope nobody decides to give him shit over that.
Marcie, keeping a slightly wary eye on the waiter, also catches the fork incident. She doesn't comment. Instead, she returns to the previous conversation. "Ok, so you were told about all this time travel stuff with the two groups months ago. What kinds of things are you researching? Do either of the groups know you know about them?" This story was still sorely lacking in details. Why did Evan bring it up to her if he didn't want to actually tell her anything?
Mostly because Evan doesn't have all the details, either. Faced with the sheer magnitude of the idea, he's come to trust that someone else does, and that they'll fill him in when the need arises. "The second group does. The first— well, if they did, then hopefully they'd have come to plead their case by now." More realistically, they might just try forcing him to stop what he's been doing.
"And I'm trying to figure out how the steering works," he continues, "or how it could work. Whether things that used to be coming up are still coming up— the casino getting hit with a hostile takeover, that sort of thing."
"The Linderman casino?" Marcie asks in shock, before thinking better of it.
"Right, the one where we—" Leaving that blank to be filled in as well, Evan reaches for the cream and sugar now that the coffee's had time to cool off some. "It's not a sure thing, nothing is at this point, but it looks like one of the big targets."
Marcie nods, but she doubts anyone can succeed in a hostile takeover against anything the Linderman Group owns. But she drops the thread of conversation about the Linderman Group. Wouldn't be good if the conversation wormed its way toward her connection to said organization, bottom rungs though she is. "Why do these groups want you?" she asks.
Evan shrugs. "Because they'll take who they can get, maybe? I don't think there are a whole lot of people in on it." At least the side he's met. "And because I've been able to pick some patterns out of things… like I said, there's years worth of information, but it's all scattered around."
"If so few people are involved, why are you telling me?" As intriguing as all of this is, Marcie is not sure that she wants to become embroiled in it.
That's a good question, actually, and one that Evan doesn't answer right away. "It helps to have someone to confide in," he says, finally. "To make sure it still makes sense when you say it out loud. That said, if you want to stay clear of it— " After all, he hasn't told her all that much in the way of specific names or events.
Marcie sighs. But instead of answering Evan's question, she asks one of her own. It's been bothering her for a while now. "Evan, what are you looking for in this relationship?" After a beat, she continues without waiting for his answer. "This is the second time you've called me because you need someone to confide in. But you don't know anything about me. And I like it that way. I'm a very private person, and I'm not interested in confiding. If you want me to be your sounding board, I don't mind. But if you think, the more you confide in me, eventually I'll open up to you the same way … that's not what I'm looking for." It's blunt, but better to be clear.
"I don't know," he replies, shaking his head. "I hadn't really thought about it like that, I just figured I'd see where it went. But if that's how you feel about things…" Evan shrugs. "Yeah, that would end up getting in the way of things. I do appreciate you telling me up front, at least." Not like the one that unexpectedly fell apart on him the year before.
Marcie gives a small smile. "That night at the casino was fun. If you want to do it again sometime, I'm interested. But don't stop looking. You obviously want a real relationship, and you deserve one with someone who will share parts of herself with you." She shakes her head. "But that's not me." She adds, "And all this stuff about secret societies, I think it might be for the best if I stay out of it."
The smile is returned in kind. "It was. But— yeah, I do want that. But at the same time, there are other things demanding my time." The other side of last year's breakup, him not being around often enough. His career was bad enough as it was, but— Secret societies? It till sounds so weird when it's said out loud. Maybe in another year or two, Evan will be more accustomed to the idea. "So… I guess I'll see what ends up working out."
Marcie nods. "I understand." She looks up. "Oh, good, the food's here." Her smile widens as her salad is placed in front of her. She's fine if Evan wants to sleep together on occasion, and she's fine if he doesn't. As long as he understands that they're unlikely to get any closer than they are now.

Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) such as ORCIDs and DOIs are critical to enabling FAIR research data and outputs as they provide global methods to uniquely identify and connect entities in the research system (e.g. researchers, funders, organisations, articles, datasets, software, and samples). By linking these entities and enabling research provenance and attribution, PIDs lay the foundation for improved tracking of research impact. By precisely identifying the inputs and outputs of research, PIDs contribute to research integrity. By linking scientific concepts across systems, PIDs enable research innovation and efficiency. So how can we perfect and propagate the power of PIDs in Research?
Join this BoF to participate in a lively discussion about the power of PIDs including questions such as: What PIDs are useful in research and how can you access these? What is the value of PIDs and how can the value proposition be improved? What are the biggest challenges in the adoption of PIDs? What are recent developments in PID services locally and internationally? What might the future of PIDs look like?
This BoF will be of interest to those implementing, maintaining and supporting PID services including repository managers, software developers and librarians. Participants should come along prepared to exchange knowledge, share experiences and contribute to discussions about optimising the 'power of PIDs'.

As the title implies: a vignette. Three crane-bearers meet at an appointed time and an appointed destination.
Central Park: Belvedere Castle
He waits in the shadow of the castle amongst the dappled shade that overlooks the its emerald green pond and the manicured English garden surrounding it. Dragonflies buzz between lizard's tail, bullrush and blueflag iris and skim iridescent wings past the spider's silk stretched like dewy tightrope from one plant to the next, a highwire act put on by the orb-weavers fat and glistening in the light of the early afternoon.
Judah's crane sits in his hand, its neck broken and bent from too much handling, but his attention isn't on the paper bird.
This is the first time that her 'emergency pack' has ever been brought out of the apartment. Filled with spare clothes, a selection of energy bars, bottled water, chocolate, a good first aid kit, and a range of useful items the camel-back has been prepared for grabbing and running with in event of an emergency.
If only Ygraine herself were anywhere near so prepared. Though clad in the anonymous black of her unmarked bike leathers, she has left her helmet locked in the panniers of Alfred - revealing a pensively worried expression even around the shades that mask her eyes. Her normally-confident gait slows as she surveys her surroundings… before her gaze clearly alights upon the half-familiar figure of Judah.
Pushing her shades up to settle atop her head, the Briton strides towards him, venturing a smile, one hand raised in greeting. "Long time no see, Mr Demsky", she offers as warmly as her present uncertainty allows.
Glancing at her cell phone to ensure she's not late, Tasha's short legs move fast, cutting across the manicured lawn and toward the miniature castle jutting out of the ground and looking over the expanse of Central Park. A courier bag bounces along her hip, the bag shoved to the brim with a coat that is wrapped around a gun, along with other necessities (like gum and a water bottle).
She blinks as she recognizes Judah, adoptive father of both her roommates, and then Ygraine. She raises a hand in a tentative wave as she makes it to the two near-strangers. Her brows immediately quirk into a worried expression as she glances from one to the other.
"You guys, too?" she asks, her voice just a touch breathy from hurrying the last few yards.
"Us too," Judah confirms. His mouth is set into a permanent scowl that shows no teeth except when he's snarling, and today his hackles aren't up.
His tail isn't tucked between his legs, either. Dark eyes alert, he looks between the two women, the crane cradled clumsily in his fingers, and then tucks it inside his jacket pocket. A breeze ripples the hair that crowns his high forehead and has begun to thin out in his early forties. "What's this about?"
Delving into one of the many pockets of her jacket, Ygraine draws out a little ziplock bag, the see-through plastic showing a crane that - save for being neatly folded flat - has received rather better care than Judah's.
"This. Did you get one as well, Tasha? Mine… unfolds to show a picture of Tamara, and says she needs my help. I didn't recognise the hand-writing, and I have no idea how it got into my apartment last night past three locks and two chains. I confess to being ever so slightly spooked", the Briton worries, her accent crisper than usual thanks to tension.
Pensively eyeing her companions, Ygraine offers a one-shouldered shrug. "From those here, we would all seem to be people I'd expect to… strive to protect the young lady in my picture. Though there's one notable absentee thus far, from this I'd have thought would be called upon."
"Colette's already gone somewhere to help someone, Sable, in the past," she admits, and it's clear she's worried about the other teenager, her eyes darting back to Judah's almost apologetically. "I didn't think anyone would ask me to go back. It's not … I don't know how to do much, you know? But if it's to help Tamara, I'll do it."
She swallows audibly, clearly a little less in the dark than the other two. "I … I think it's the same thing that Colette was asked to do, anyway, I might be wrong, but I think we're supposed to go back to the past to keep something from happening. Colette was really scared about it — time travel. I haven't… I haven't seen her since she left, but she said someone was going back to do something bad to Sable and she had to go with Elaine to keep it from happening."
Her dark eyes drop, worried, perhaps, that Judah will be angry that Tasha let Colette go.
If Judah is angry, his ire isn't directed at Tasha. He makes a low, irritated sound and blows it out his nostrils. Fingers pinch the bridge of his nose, his eyes close and the skin on his brow furrows, rumpling. Nearby, a dragonfly alights on the topmost point of a swaying cattail and gives a flicker of its wings, seeming to tremble with the same nervous energy the detective keeps contained inside of him.
His lips do not so much as twitch until his mouth opens to speak again. "Wonderful," he says in that tone. The one that suggests this is exactly the wrong word to use.
It's not Tasha's fault. His own, maybe, for being surprised. Colette's been doing this — whatever this is — for the last two years.
It takes a good few moments for Ygraine's mind to process Tasha's revelations - and to decide how to begin to respond - though her eyes track and settle upon that trembling dragonfly. "Sable?", she asks it, before looking back to Tasha. "Ah… the past? With Elaine? Good grief. That… this… I suppose they'd be a good team for… wow."
Shaking her head, clearly trying to gather her thoughts, Ygraine momentarily closes her eyes. "I'm Evolved, but… not remotely in the same league of power or versatility as Colette", she says quietly. "I'm fully fluent in French. I can ride anything on two wheels faster than most people think is possible. But… what on Earth might be the reason I'm included in this group, I have no idea. I'll help, however I can. I… want to protect Tamara. But is that the only reason I'm here? That I'm likely to be willing? Are we a carefully-chosen team, or just… the people who'd be crazy enough to go?"
At the litany of skills Ygraine lists off, Tasha's brows rise, and she looks to Judah a little wide-eyed before shaking her head. "I don't think Mr. Demsky's crazy, but obviously he'd do anything to help Tamara, and so would I, but I really don't know what I can do," she says, her voice a little quavery with nerves.
"I … I brought a gun," she adds in a lower voice, eyes furtively glancing around to make sure no one can hear her. "I think we're the people who can, and maybe people who she'd trust, if we need to talk to her. I guess Colette isn't here because she's already busy." Tasha doesn't quite grasp that the fact they're going back to the past means that Hiro could certainly wait until Colette was less busy — but it's perhaps a favor that she doesn't realize that, or she'd worry there was another reason Colette wasn't chosen for the task, or that the task wasn't held off until a later date.
Her teeth click on her thumbnail nervously before she realizes what she's doing and shoves her hand into her jeans pocket.
One moment, the archway leading into the castle is empty. The next: occupying it is a small, solidly-built man with black hair swept back into a short ponytail at the nape of his thick neck and thumb's width worth of beard beneath his lower lip/
Judah's hand instinctively goes for the side arm he wears beneath his jacket, but before he can free it from its holster, the stranger raises his in a gentle, placating gesture. The voice that accompanies it, however, is firm. "My name is Hiro Nakamura," he begins, "and Colette is well.
"Allow me to explain—"

If you like your African safari destinations quiet and undisturbed, Nxai Pan should be at the top of your list of must-visit spots in Botswana. Makgadikgadi Pan and Nxai Pan are the largest salt pans in the world, and offers spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife in season and natural isolation that appeals to travellers seeking out destinations where they can be truly removed from their day-to-day routines.
"Nxai Pan National Park is one of the more readily accessible reaches of the Makgadikgadi, situated 50km from the main road that leads from Maun to Nata."
Where exactly is Nxai Pan National Park?
Despite being gorgeously remote, Nxai Pan National Park is one of the more readily accessible reaches of the Makgadikgadi, situated 50km from the main road that leads from Maun to Nata. The pan itself is one of the most prominent Makgadikgadi salt flats, located towards the northern portion of the park, which lies adjacent to the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park and comprises approximately 2,578 km². The larger pans in the area have now been transformed into grassland, dotted with islands of acacia trees. During the rainy season, certain smaller pans fill with water, drawing wildlife from far and wide.
Wildlife viewing around the pans is seasonal. As soon as the rainy season starts, large groups of wildebeest, elephant, gemsbok and giraffe venture into the area. Next follow the zebra herds that come here specifically to calve – a spectacle that is only rivalled by the park's vast springbok herds. Hot on the heels of this glut of stunning herbivores follow the predators. Think lion, cheetah, jackal - even the slippery brown hyena and enigmatic leopard. Bat-eared foxes and raptors are also in plentiful supply, and if you strike it lucky you might just encounter a rhino or two.
"Think lion, cheetah, jackal - even the slippery brown hyena and enigmatic leopard."
If you like your game viewing with a dash of the unusual, Nxai Pan will not disappoint. Saddle up for an epic horse riding safari across the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, lace up your hiking boots and adventure through the semi-arid thirst land of the Kalahari on guided nature walks, or venture out on historical tours to the famous Baines Baobabs – a verdant cluster of trees that stand tall as an oasis of life in the middle of the white salt pan in the dry season. Alternatively, travel at your own pace on a quad bike safari across the pans.
Breakfast on the pans, Nxai Pan Camp.
Explore the Nxai Pan by quad bike.
The park is open to visitors 12 months a year, but conditions are not exactly ideal during the rainy season - roads become impassable in certain areas. The more accessible option is visiting during the dry season from May to September, which is also when the park's wildlife crowds around its watering holes, which makes it a little easier to find large groupings of animals in one go. However, if you don't mind getting a little wet or spending some more time navigating slippery roads, mid-November to March is absolutely gorgeous - the park bursts into greenery as soon as the first rains start to fall, and it makes for an awe-inspiring experience.
Since the park opened its gates to visitors in 1992, only a single permanent camp has been established within its reaches. Nxai Pan Camp has been in operation since 2009 and is located on the western shores of the fossil pan, from where it overlooks the undulating grasslands. It accommodates a maximum of 18 visitors in thatched units that are naturally insulated against the region's extreme temperatures and offers exceptional game viewing right from camp.

Wild African Elephants Choose Paths Leading Directly To Their Favorite Food
December 18, 2022 Eurasia Review 0 Comments
By Eurasia Review
As human-elephant conflict continues to rise across Africa, researchers are searching for new ways to keep a watchful eye on wild African elephants, even looking to space technologies for guidance.
In the rural community of Sagalla in Tsavo Kenya, a hotspot for crop-raiding elephants, researchers at Save the Elephants and the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford have, for the first time ever, tracked the footprints of elephants using a high-resolution hand-held Garmin GPS that captures point to point fixes at every 3-5 seconds, and overlaid it with free high-resolution satellite imagery to identify how plant diversity on a micro scale affects elephant movement.
In the process, they've discovered that elephants make considered decisions about which paths to take based purely on their favourite food. The findings, recently published in the journal, Remote Sensing, may be critical in helping conservationists forecast potential human-elephant conflict (HEC) hotspots.
The Sentinel 2A imagery, obtained through an open-source satellite managed by the European Space Agency, has enabled scientists to map every single piece of vegetation within each 10m pixel in and around Sagalla. While elephants are normally tracked at 1-hour intervals, the handheld satellite GPS captures all the twists and turns, every thorny thicket, every tree that an elephant would take on its chosen path. The elephant data from the study covers the period from January 2015 to 2020.
The results show that bull elephants prefer to walk paths that have or lead to plants called Combretum and Cissus which are only eaten by bulls. Family groups will walk paths that have Commiphora and Terminalia, which are a dietary preference for family groups comprising females and young calves. Furthermore, when the two groups combine and move together, they choose paths that have or lead to areas where both preferred delicacies are available, in other words ensuring there's something for everyone.
The study is important because understanding how elephants access their favourite vegetation could help conservation managers focus resources onto potential conflict hotspots outside protected areas and better protect plant diversity within parks and buffer zones. Mapping the location and composition of specific vegetation species within plant communities also helps scientists to better understand the impact of human encroachment and vegetation removal on elephant movement.
Lead author Gloria Mugo, from Save the Elephants, says, 'It is incredible the level of detail we can infer from free satellite imagery about the processes that control the spatial dynamics of elephant movements. A lot is known about what kinds of foods are eaten by elephants, however, being able to single out the fact that their movements can be driven by their fancied, gender-based diet, helps to further our understanding of micro-level ecological interactions.'
Save the Elephants, the University of Oxford and the Sagalla community have been working together since 2009, starting with a project to explore how beehive fences could be used to reduce conflict with elephants. The satellite imagery project came about when the Sagalla community asked the researchers to help them better understand why and where elephants were foraging in the buffer zone of vegetation between the houses and the park boundary.
Dr Lucy King, Department of Biology, University of Oxford and Head of Save the Elephant's Co-existence Programme said: 'The insight that different compositions of elephant groups prefer different vegetation patches could help us better understand where elephants are moving to within community areas to focus mitigation efforts, and also will promote better understanding for management of vegetation quality and composition inside wildlife reserves to keep parks more attractive to elephants inside than outside.'

The flu is a common complaint throughout the country and can be quite debilitating. You should get your flu shot as a preventative measure. However, if you do come down with the flu, it's important to seek treatment at your local urgent care clinic. If caught quickly, flu treatments like Tamiflu are available; medications like these help reduce the severity and length of your flu symptoms. But if you don't realize you've come down with the flu until it's too late for these medications, you should come into our facility if you have a high fever, respiratory issues, or are in severe pain.
We may not get much snow here in Texas, but slips and falls can still happen. The likelihood of precipitation -- even the non-frozen variety -- increases the risk that someone might take a tumble and hurt themselves. And because it gets darker much earlier during this time of year, there's a greater likelihood that you could trip if you can't see well enough. Whether you've sprained an ankle or need stitches, our clinic staff for urgent care in Frisco TX can help.
High fevers can be scary, especially in children. You may not know exactly what's causing this condition. While fevers are often an indication that your immune system is doing its job, you'll likely still want to head to urgent care to make sure nothing serious is wrong. Infections are more common at this time of year, and cold conditions can make a sick child feel worse. Even if it's just a cold, it's better to be safe than sorry.
When school is in session, sports injuries are common -- even during winter. Although we don't have much skiing or snowboarding in the state of Texas, sports injuries still occur. Broken bones and muscle strains can happen at any time of year, but bad weather can make them worse or can make them more difficult to deal with. If you've sustained an injury while playing a sport, you don't want to ignore it.
Coughs are commonplace due to all the illnesses that circulate during this time of year. They can also be a nuisance, especially if they linger for a lengthy period of time. Usually, these don't signal a serious issue, but in some cases, they could be a sign of bronchitis or pneumonia. Staff at our urgent care facility will be able to discern whether there's cause for concern by listening to the lungs with a stethoscope or taking x-rays, if necessary.
If you or your child is in need of fast, affordable treatment this winter, come in for urgent care in Frisco TX. To find out more about the illnesses and injuries we treat, contact us today.

Cresval Addresses Concerns of Dissident Group
May 7, 2019: Vancouver BC:, Cresval Capital Corp. ("Cresval" or "the Company") (CRV: TSX-V) On March 29, 2019 the Company announced a non-brokered private placement of up to a maximum of 20,000,000 units (the "Units") at $0.025 per Unit to raise up to $500,000 (the "Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of Cresval (the "Common Shares") and one Common Share purchase warrant (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will be exercisable into one Common Share for a period of five years at a price of $0.05/share. On April 23, 2019, the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") granted the Company a discretionary waiver to allow the Offering to proceed. The Offering is open to all existing shareholders who wish to participate, as previously announced. Any existing shareholders interested in participating in the Offering should contact the Company pursuant to the contact information set forth below.
The Company's common shares only resumed trading on February 19, 2019, after being halted from trading since November 29, 2017 as a consequence of its unsuccessful plan of arrangement with Tess Inc. (the "Arrangement"). During that time and until this Offering, the Company has been unable to fund its operations except internally, and it now needs new equity financing to maintain and preserve its mineral exploration property interests. The Company's mineral properties require further exploration work which is currently being conducted to maintain them, or they would have expired and been forfeited. A dissident group with connections to the Arrangement has recently unfairly depicted the Offering as a means to entrench management. This position is without merit, as the Offering is open to all existing shareholders, and the current President & CEO, Lee Ann Wolfin, is already the single largest shareholder and creditor of the Company. Lee Ann Wolfin and the current management of the Company have financially supported the Company and made sure that its assets are preserved, not the dissident group. Besides recommending a new director to Cresval who declined to act for health reasons, the dissident group has offered for weeks to provide new equity financing for Cresval at a higher offering price, but they have failed or were unable to provide subscriptions for any such investors, just as occurred previously in respect of financing for the Arrangement.

ARAG expands sales teams as Andy Talbot takes reins of both ATE and BTE accounts
Leading legal expenses and assistance provider ARAG has appointed two new account managers as Head of Sales, Andy Talbot, takes responsibility for both the company's After-the-Event (ATE) and Before-the-Event (BTE) sales teams.
Basil Anderson has joined ARAG as Corporate Account Manager, with responsibility for building and managing relationships with insurers, financial institutions and other MGAs. He brings significant insurance sector experience, after roles with RSA, Allianz and, most recently, Bank of Ireland.
Joining the ATE sales team is Paul Morgan, who will be working with law firms and intermediaries, particularly in South Wales and the South West of England. Paul has 8 years of account management experience within a law firm and many more in the logistics and publishing industries.
"I'm very pleased to be adding the ATE sales team to my remit at a time when ARAG is expanding our sales operations." comments Andy on his increased role. "Both our BTE and ATE sales teams are well-established and full of experience, but it's great to be adding some new faces to the line-up."
"Paul and Basil come to us with plenty of experience and highly successful account management careers already behind them. I know that they are both really excited to be taking up their new roles so it's a real pleasure to welcome them to ARAG."
Andy has led ARAG's highly successful BTE sales team since the business was established in the UK in 2006.

Q: Proof of Chinese Remainder Theorem I'm currently going through Harvard's Abstract Algebra lectures. I was doing one of the homework's and wanted to make sure that my thinking was correct. The problem states

Using the Lemma that $m\mathbb{Z} + n\mathbb{Z} = gcd(m,n)\mathbb{Z}$, prove the Chinese Remainder Theorem which states given integers $m, n, a, b$ where $gcd(m,n) = 1$, there exists an integer $x$ such that $x \equiv{a} \pmod{m}$ and $x \equiv{b} \pmod{n}$

I think my general outline for the proof is okay, but I'm getting a little stuck in formalizing what it is I wish to say.
If $gcd(m, n) = 1$ then $m\mathbb{Z} + n\mathbb{Z} = \mathbb{Z}$
So, given that x is an integer, $x \in \mathbb{Z}$.
So, $(x - a), (x - b) \in \mathbb{Z}$.
So, $(x - a), (x - b) \in m\mathbb{Z} + n\mathbb{Z}$.
Take $a \in m\mathbb{Z}$ and $b \in n\mathbb{Z}$. Then, $(x - a) \in m\mathbb{Z}$ and $(x - b) \in n\mathbb{Z}$. This completes the proof.
So, I feel like the general outline is there, but I don't know if every step can be properly justified.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Hint $\,\ \Bbb Z = m\Bbb Z+n\Bbb Z \,\Rightarrow\, a-b = mj+nk\,\Rightarrow\!\!\!\! \underbrace{a-mj}_{\large \equiv\ a\pmod{\!\! m}}\!\!\!\!\! =\!\!\!\!\! \overbrace{b+nk}^{\large \equiv\ b\pmod{\!\! n}}$

A: Just follow the enouncement of the theorem. Given $n,m,a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$, s.t. $gcd(m,n)=1$, we want to find $x$. So as Bill says, we use the Lemma to say that it exists $j,k$ s.t. $a+mj=b+nk$, so just define $x:=a+mj$. You can generalize this result using that (*)$\exists k_i,s.t.gcd(\lbrace n_i\rbrace)=\sum k_in_i$ to finite i's. The extension gives a solution to the system $x=a_i(mod n_i)$ and the prove is as follows. First, for each i we'll solve system $x_i=1(modn_i),x_i=0(modn_j),j\neq i$. Using the (*), we have that, as $n_j$ relative primes, exists $k_j$ s.t., $$1-k_in_i=\sum_{j\neq i}k_in_i$$ and the term of right satisfices what we want. Then, taking $x=\sum a_ix_i$ we've prove the theorem.

A: HINT : There is an easy way to prove the CRT by considering the map $\Bbb Z \rightarrow \Bbb Z_m \oplus \Bbb Z_n: x\mapsto  (x \mod(m),x \mod(n)) $, and proving it is a surjection. Make use of the facts that this map is a ring homomorphism and that $\Bbb Z_{mn} \cong \Bbb Z_m \oplus \Bbb Z_n$ (under the assumption that $(m,n) = 1$).

A: We can make a proof of this theorem by "Analysis-Synthesis" :
Analysis :  We want to build $x \pmod{mn}$ :
Suppose that such a $x$ checks $x\equiv a \pmod m$ and $x\equiv b\pmod n$. That means that there exist $k,l \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that : $x=mk+a$ and $x=nl+b$.
Moreover we have $\gcd(m,n)=1$ so by Bachet-Bézout theorem there exits $u,v \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that : $um+vn=1$.
Now we multiply this relation by $x$ it gives : $umx+vnx=x$.
This is equivalent to : $umx+vnx\equiv x\pmod{mn}$.
This is equivalent to : $um(nl+b)+vn(mk+a)\equiv x\pmod{mn} \Leftrightarrow umb+vna \equiv x \pmod{mn}$.
Synthesis : We want that the $x$ built checks the properties :
So we respectively have : $x\equiv umb \pmod n$ and $x\equiv vna \pmod m$.
Then as $\gcd(m,n)=1$ we can notice that $m$ and $n$ are invertible respectively in $Z/nZ$ and $Z/mZ$. Their inverse elements are respectively $u=m^{-1}$ and $v=n^{-1}$ otherwise we will obtain the wrong congruences.
We have proof the existence of $x$. In general with this method in most case there is automatically uniqueness.
Howewer we can check that if there exist two different solutions $x$ and $y$ which satisfy all the properties then they are the same.

Sunny King sets dates
Classic officials choose Sept. 16-18 for 2022 tournament, entry fee raised $60, stage set for first female chairman
Organizers of the Sunny King Charity Classic knew well before last year's historic tournament finished the event would be staying in September. It was just a matter of finding the right dates.
Well, the dates are in.
The 2022 Classic will be played Sept. 16-18 at the same three courses it has been held 10 of the last 12 years – Anniston Country Club, Cider Ridge Golf Club and Silver Lakes. The only times during that stretch they didn't play there was 2011 when Silver Lakes was recovering from the spring tornadoes and 2020 when the event was cancelled due to COVID.
"I'm excited about September," tournament chairman Brett Key said. "We talked to all our stakeholders – Patty King, the Sunny King Auto Group, our major sponsors, the committee and we even reached out to some golfers. We've got Auburn-Penn State that weekend so we have a little bit of a football conflict, but we don't think it'll be a big deal.
"We were kind of down to those last two weekends in September. We'll have a hair more daylight if we go earlier, so we stuck on that weekend."
There are some changes coming next year. The entry fee will bump up to $385 per player at the time of registration, but that will include the $60 for the mulligans/sandies that 95 percent of the field purchases day-to-day anyway. With a full field of 408 players, that's a guaranteed $24,480 that goes directly to the tournament's charitable contribution.
Also, Jacki Lowry of Alabama Power will join Key as 2022 co-chairman, paving the way for her to become the tournament's first female chairwoman in 2023.
Last year's Classic, staged in September for the first time, was indeed a classic. It sold out in record time, and when they got to playing, Ott and Dalton Chandler defeated three-time champions Ty Cole and Gary Wigington in a playoff that lasted six holes and carried a strong Bagger Vance vibe going well into the night.
Cars drove up behind the 16th green with their headlights on to help the players see their line. Observers down on the tee box cut on their cellphone flashlights to illuminate the situation. Key said they may be able to secure some LED lights for around the green if they run into that situation again.
The limited amount of daylight at that time of year is an issue, of course, but, really, how many times will you have a playoff go that long? There's only been nine playoffs in the history of the tournament, and none had gone longer than two holes before last year. Besides, the excitement that grew the longer the playoff lasted only seemed to add to the enthusiasm of playing in September.
"Barring us just having some kind of catastrophic year I don't see any reason why we'd go back to July," Key said. "Now, that's just my opinion, but the response last year was incredible, the response from the golfers was great, the spectators were great. Nobody really wants to play golf in July when you can play in September.
"But at the end of the day, the most important thing to me is the money we raise to pump back into the community. As long as we can continue to clip that $100,000 threshold (in charitable giving) in September and fill the tournament, I see no reason to go back to July."
Another plus for the September date is it gives Cider Ridge a larger window to bring in the new greens it plans to install later this spring.
Wigington and Andrew Brooks, the two finalists in this year's Calhoun County Match Play Championship, both were excited about the prospect of the Classic remaining in the fall.
"The weather being so much better was just so pleasant this year," Wigington said. "It was the best year as far as weather that we've ever played in. I'm glad they're going to do it in September."
"How many times are you going to hve a situation where you're going to have seven or eight playoff holes," Brooks said. "It stretches out our golf season, but the time of year is great for it.

High End Condo Under Construction in Rego Park
Looks like Flushing isn't the only Queens neighborhood getting fancy condos. A new upscale condo, reports DNAinfo, is being constructed in Rego Park — a neighborhood that has "recently experienced an infusion of luxury buildings." The developer, Yin Hu, tells DNAinfo that the seven-story, 65-unit building at 65-38 Austin Street and slated to be completed sometime next year will also have a gym, rooftop garden, and bicycle room. And that's not all! The building will also get an indoor parking garage with space for 55 cars. How much will units go for? Well, mum's the word on prices, but we can guess it will be a smidgen more than the affordable prices the neighborhood has been known for. Keeping that luxury market happy.
When Contractor Leaves Debris Out, A Trip-and-Fall May Still Be Building's Fault

It was a rubber mat that allegedly tripped Rita Brady — and may eventually trip up a co-op board in Rego Park, Queens. It just goes to show that when your contractor leaves hard marble slabs just laying around in the common area for anybody to fall into that the co-op or condo might still be responsible. For the cost of a new rubber mat, a co-op complex of over 2,000 apartments may find itself so broke it has to write rubber checks.

One of the more important developments in catechetics in our Church in recent memory has been the growing spirit of cooperation between the various Eastern Catholic eparchies in the United States and Canada. As of this writing, there are ten Byzantine Catholic dioceses in the US. and another seven in Canada, in addition to dioceses of several other Eastern Catholic traditions (Armenian, Chaldean, Maronite and Syrian). Yet, until recently, there was little interaction among them. How did this come about?
One of the characteristics of Eastern Churches, in contrast to the Roman, is that each national Church is relatively autonomous. While all Byzantine Churches, for example, employ the same liturgical and spiritual Tradition, each has its own body of bishops, language, and musical heritage. And so, when Byzantine Christians emigrated to the New World, they came both speaking and praying in different languages. When parishes and, later, dioceses were established, it was on the basis of the national Churches from which the immigrants had come. In time, all these Churches would move to the use of English in worship and life, but their structures remain separate. Naturally, Churches of non-Byzantine Eastern traditions would have their own structures as well.
Currently the following Churches exist in North America, all sharing a common Byzantine Catholic heritage, but differing in structure, ethnic origin, and particular uses. Dioceses are headquartered in the cities indicated.
Melkite: Newton (USA)
Romanian: Canton (USA)
Ruthenian: Pittsburgh, Passaic, Parma and Van Nuys (USA);
Unionville (Canada)
Ukrainian: Philadelphia, Stamford, Chicago, Parma (USA);
Winnipeg, Toronto, Edmonton, Saskatoon, New Westminster (Canada)
More variety exists in the Syriac or Aramaic traditions represented in the following jurisdictions:
Chaldean: Deerfield, MI.
Maronite: Brooklyn, Los Angeles (USA)
Syrian:Jersey City, NJ (USA & Canada)
There is also an Armenian Catholic Exarchate for the USA and Canada headquartered in New York City.
EFFORTS TOGETHER
In 1970 representatives from the Melkite and Ruthenian dioceses in the United States began discussing the possibility of common catechetical action. Out of this discussion, the God With Us series was envisioned and developed. Over the next ten years, representatives from these dioceses worked together to produce this material. In time, representatives from several other dioceses became involved in this cooperative venture.
With more dioceses committed to this work and with the completion of the eight grade series, diocesan catechetical personnel formed an ongoing organization, the ECDD (Eastern Catholic Diocesan Directors of Religious Education) conference. Working as an arm of the United States Eastern Catholic bishops' conference, the ECDD has published nine books for adult enrichment and catechist formation. ECDD is also in the process of publishing Light for Life, a handbook for Byzantine Catholic catechesis. Two parts, entitled The Mystery Believed and The Mystery Celebrated, have already been published. The third part, The Mystery Lived, is currently in preparation. ECDD is also in the process of expanding and revising the God With Us Series. It also distributes other publications of catechetical interest through Theological Book Service.

Passchendaele 100 years on: Bath's fallen from one of the First World War's bloodiest battles
The three-month long military campaign was one of the Great War's bloodiest battles
Today marks the 100th anniversary the start of the battle
As many as 12 men from Bath – some as young as 20 – lost their lives of the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele, one of the First World War's bloodiest battles.
Today marks the 100th anniversary the start of the battle, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres, which began on July 31, 1917.
The three-month military campaign, which is infamous for also being one of the muddiest battles of the war, ended in the deaths of 325,000 Allied and 20,000 German soldiers.
Chronicle analysis of data from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission shows that at least 12 men from Bath died on July 31, 1917.
WATCH: Royal Crescent clear of cars for Bath Preservation Trust picnic in the park
It cannot be said for sure but it is highly likely that many if not all of them were killed on the battlefields of Flanders, Belgium.
The youngest of these men was Lance Corporal Victor Llewelyn Morris, of the Somerset Light Infantry, whose parents lived in Newbridge Road.

Private William Henry Reeves, 21, of Oakhill, also of the Somerset Light Infantry, was another who lost his life on the first day of the Passchendaele offensive.
The oldest soldier from Bath to die that day was 41-year-old Private William John Franklin, who lived with his wife Minnie Hemmings in Larkhall.
All three men are commemorated at the Menin Gate memorial in Belgium, which lists those who died with no known grave at Ypres.

According to the records, as many as 88 men from Bath lost their lives in the first month of the Battle of Passchendaele.
The First World War had already been going on for three years before the Passchendaele offensive was launched.
The heaviest rainfall in more than 30 years in Belgium turned the battlefield into a quagmire, creating appalling conditions for the soldiers in the trenches.
General Sir Douglas Haig, the British army's commander in chief in France, believed Germany's army was close to collapse and needed "just one more push" for defeat.

However, the German army fought well and Allied gains were not as large as expected, but General Haig refused to accept defeat despite massive Allied losses.
Troops finally captured the Belgian village on November 6, although by this point Allied forces had been almost completely destroyed.

These records come from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission - the organisation that registers Commonwealth war dead and looks after cemeteries and memorials.
But even their painstaking work has not been able to record all Britain's war dead, meaning the truth death toll for Bath's young men may be even higher than 12.

There are ten public universities in Andalucía, all of them involved in the "Campus Andaluz Virtual, CAV, (http://www.campusandaluzvirtual.es)". The "Consejería de Innovación Ciencia y Empresa" of the Junta de Andalucía, is responsible for higher education and University programs. This Consejería promoted the CAV as the main project of the "Digital University". Each University in Andalucía offers, using the CAV, about 10 subjects, and are coordinated so that every student of the ten universities can take any of the subjects offered in this campus and be validated as "Free configuration" subjects in their curricula. About eight students from each university can select any of the 84 subjects so a maximum number of 80 students can enroll each subject.
In this paper, our educational research group presents the objectives and methodology of a "Soil Contamination" subject that we offer to the CAV from the University of Malaga. On a different paper presented also in this conference, we show also the results obtained.
The objectives are in agreement with those defined for the Convergence to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA): To place the student as the center of the teaching/learning process, and to develop tools that promote the attitude for permanent learning.
High quality documents are made available on the platform from the beginning of the term related the different topics of the subject. The teaching team elaborates these documents. In principle, the availability of this material allows the students an important flexibility in their decision about when to study each topic. Nevertheless, we are also promoting the collaborative work within groups of about 10 students each, so it is important that all the students have reached a certain stage in their learning that allow them to make a profitable contribution to the group's work.
This is achieved by different techniques (inspired by the Trivial Pursuit (board game), based mainly, but not only, on the databases and forums of the Moodle platform. Each week, using the database, each student must develop two questions for two of the topics. Therefore, at the end of the term a total number of about 1800 questions are available. This task is open for three weeks.
At the same time, but for one more week, we open a forum for every topic. In this forum the students may ask any doubts that they have found while reading the material, show new findings that they have made regarding the topic, or criticize the questions presented on the database by their colleges. The database elaboration and this forum represent 25 % and 15 % respectively of the total mark. At the end of the term, the platform makes an individualized questionnaire from the database, which accounts for another 25 %.
After the fourth week, each group receives a practical case of a contaminated soil, for which they should make a short dossier presenting a reasonable solution. Each practical case is assigned to at least two groups.Their work is done using a forum for each group. This represents another 20 %. For the remaining 15 %, the students have another forum in which they should make constructive critics to the dossiers of the other groups.
keywords: ehea, permanent learning, moodle, collaborative work, forum.

> Seems to me if there is no compositing being performed, any CMYK object (tagged or untagged) could simply be passed through, along with color space metadata. However, if any compositing is being done between objects of different spaces, they do need to be normalized first to a common color space. Ignoring the color space of either object is a kind of data loss.
Yes, ok, no problem. Who should normalize to the common space and how?
> This is a PDF/X-3/4/5 vs PDF/X-1a kind of workflow. One is early binding (everything is CMYK, nothing is to be repurposed/converted except for soft and hard proofing purposes, where you DO NOT WANT 40,30,30,100), that's PDF/X-1a. And the other is late binding which means predominantly ICCBased objects, all of which are converted when you get to the output stage and have a better idea where the job will print.
should read "DO WANT". But yes, this is exactly X-1a vs higher specs.
> Saying you want specific CMYK values means you know exactly what printing behavior you're targeting including the media and ink set. CMYK values are control signals. They only translate into color when the device is known/defined.
And I know them. Because my app told me.

Are you ready to start your journey? My uncle lived a happy life. Ravindran is a convicted drug dealer. John has two sons. Plants give off oxygen as they make food. Diana arrived in Boston on Monday. Oh no, you have revealed our secret! We were both drunk. It could take years before this bridge is ready to use. We all live within a five minutes' walk from each other.
Are you a good dancer? Emily said he'd be in Boston next week. This has all happened before. This watch is similar to mine I lost yesterday. If you invite him, he'll probably come. He earned his living as a singer. I don't like this place. Jamie is in for quite a surprise. The king ordered that the prisoner should be set free. Presley could take you to town.
I'm meeting them for breakfast. As soon as she read the letter, she began to cry. Because of the heavy rain, we were obliged to stay there. I had my first period when I was 13 years old. Tharen is very methodical in the way he does his work. I think I know why Bertrand isn't here. I've been up for three days. Kayvan isn't coming till tomorrow. She was arrested and accused of being a spy. Why did Hohn lie to Narendra?
I'd like to keep expenses down. Did it come with cords? Herbert went to the hospital. All I really need to know in life I learned in Tatoeba. Are you getting a divorce? Ross is standing in the center of the room. I have three grown sons. What kind of music did you listen to when you were a teenager? Please tell me where to park my car. Poverty is a pain, but no disgrace.
None of them is alive. Is this man threatening you? I heard you were rich. We look up to him as a good senior. Click here for more information. I've got to get him a present. Do you remember your passport number? Show me how to do this. I'm not taking my eyes off him. What do you think of Darci's new dress?
Sanford is making fun of Mason. Are you calling me a thief? You don't have to be rich but, rather, independent. I thought Siegurd was going to join us tonight. Some believe that the Egyptian pyramids were built by ancient aliens. When I saw that Roy had a gun, I got scared. Have you already decided whether you want to go or not? Madagascar is the largest island of Africa. Is Mohammad armed? Are you asking me to leave?
It is fun to translate sentences! Give yourself a break. I'm writing to him. I'll tell you the truth now. Henry owes the government a lot of money in taxes. How's Joel's cold? Will you have another cup of milk? He is cool, isn't he? I must buy new skis. When did you get back from Boston?
Chess is the gymnastic school of the intellect. You pay me very well. After working all day, Barton was really tired. Were you looking for them? While broth boils, friendship blooms. The population of Yokohama is larger than that of Osaka. There's no need to thank me. My cellphone has been stolen. I was disappointed with his speech. Please do not feed the animals.
Stephanie said he didn't understand anything. Our climb will be steep. I don't have classes. You can't say a word about this to anyone. Does it rain much here during the summer? Randolph recently converted to Judaism. It is to your advantage to join us. Ned asked Gunter some questions that she was unable to answer. Merton doesn't know the difference between an original and a forgery. We captured them.
Soohong reached for a towel. You shouldn't let Miles push you around like that. My grandparents were in good health the last time I saw them. Being on time for appointments is very important. I understand your words. I really do not want to go. What toy is big? Melinda is cleaning out his closet. There is a cat on fire in my pants! You should be angry.

Q: Why is there a Segmentation Core dumped? I have made linked lists many times but cannot understand why is there a dump in this code I cannot understand why is there a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"...It happens just when i call the push function inside the push function.
node* push(node* head, node*cur, int n)
{
    if(head==NULL)
    {
        head=(node*)malloc(sizeof(node));
        ins(n, head);
        head->next=NULL;
    }
    else
    {
        cur->next=(node*)malloc(sizeof(node));      //because initially head and cur are same!
        cur=cur->next;
        ins(n, cur);
        cur->next=NULL;
    }
    printf("\nPress 1 to continue insertion: ");
    int ch;
    scanf("%d", &ch);
    if(ch==1)
    {
        printf("\nEnter Digit to push: ");
        int dig;
        scanf("%d", &dig);
        push(head, cur, dig);
    }
    return head;
}

void disp(node* head)
{
    node* cur=head;

    printf("printing::: %d and %d and %p and %p\n", head->dat, cur->next->dat, head, cur);

    while(cur!=NULL)
    {
        printf("=>");
        cur=cur->next;
    }
}

A: The problem seems to be in line
cur->next=(node*)malloc(sizeof(node));
because as you said cur is same as head so cur is NULL and accessing next is NULL is invalid.
To cure this do
if(head==NULL)
    {
        head=(node*)malloc(sizeof(node));
        ins(n, head);
        head->next=NULL;
        cur=head;   // <--change here
    }

so that next time cur will point to head and you can access next of cur.

A: [Short answer]
You are trying to do next operation over a null pointer
[Long answer]
Culprit seems to be cur pointer. Access violation exception or Segmentation fault is flashed when invalid memory is accessed. Here, It seems like cur pointer is null and ->next operation is being used over null pointer.
[Solution]
if(head==NULL)
{
    head=(node*)malloc(sizeof(node));
    ins(n, head);
    head->next=NULL;
    cur=head;   <---------- Add this
}

Q: theme_links for aliased pages For the sake of simplicity, let's say I just want to add the 'active' class to all links within the main menu.
The code below works for non-aliased pages.  However, when I run a node that has an alias, the active class does not get applied.
I did verify the code was being triggered.
Any thoughts on how to add a class to the main menu links when viewing a node that has a url alias?
function mytheme_links__system_main_menu(array $variables) {

  foreach ($variables['links'] as $key => $link) {
    $variables[$key]['attributes']['class'][] = 'active';
  }

  return theme_links($variables);
}

A: If you using main menu links you would be better off using the context module instead of writing the code yourself. It will save time and headache of testing and allow you and your client to edit the the active links through a user interface instead of hard-coding the classes.

NAIROBI - The United Nations has once again added its voice to the debate around improving the environmental impact of the fashion industry, this time in relation to the role 'influencers' can play in altering consumers' buying practices.
This comes after the UK implemented unprecedented guidelines for influencers to avoid the unethical and opaque practices which had become commonplace in social media advertising.
It seems that authorities and organisations the world over are viewing this 21st century occupation as a key tool in altering the buying habits of younger consumers.
