Hugo Chavez 1954-2013
Written by Diana Thebaud Nicholson // April 15, 2013 // Americas // No comments
Curious coincidence that Mr. Chavez died on the 60th anniversary of Stalin's death.
Hugo Chavez: 1954-2013
From an impoverished childhood to the forefront of Latin American politics
Hugo Chavez, the popular but polarizing and provocative president of Venezuela, has died in office. He was 58.
Chavez gained international attention as the key leader of a new leftward direction for several Latin American governments and as a thorn in the side of the U.S. administration.
A baseball player, military officer, national heartthrob and reality TV star, Chavez went from an impoverished childhood to the forefront of Latin American politics.
His life had many key moments, but two pairs of events are critical. One was the coup he led that failed but set him on the road to success, and a coup against him that succeeded but then failed within 48 hours.
And there was the constitutional referendum he won in 1999 and the one he lost in 2007, the only vote Chavez ever lost.
Venezuela's presidential election Maduro's pyrrhic victory
(The Economist) ELECTIONS don't come much closer. After counting more than 99% of the votes Venezuela's election authority announced late on Sunday night that the government's presidential candidate, Nicolás Maduro, had beaten his rival, Henrique Capriles of the Democratic Unity coalition, by just 1.59%. Of almost 14.8m votes cast, fewer than 235,000 separated the two candidates.
Mr Capriles and his campaign team have announced their refusal to accept the electronic vote-tally unless the electoral authority agrees to open all the ballot boxes and count the paper ballots. Their position is supported by the only opposition-leaning member of the electoral authority's five-person board, Vicente Díaz. According to Mr Capriles, the opposition logged more than 3,200 irregularities—enough, he said, to render Mr Maduro's victory margin moot.
Hugo Chávez Picks Pope Francis From Beyond the Grave – is there no end to the claims that will be made of the late Mr. Chavez's importance?
(ABC News) Hugo Chávez is preparing a new revolution, according to Venezuela's acting president Nicolás Maduro. This time, the recently deceased Venezuelan leader seems to be planning a takeover of the Catholic Church. Maduro joked that he will do it from heaven, and that the first stage is already under way.
"We have important news," Maduro said Wednesday during the opening ceremony of Caracas' International Book Fair. "They just elected a South American as pope for the first time in history… We know that our commander has ascended to [heaven], and that he is in front of Christ right now. He must have influenced something for a South American pope to be chosen."
Venezuela's Capriles joins race, tussles with Chavez heir
(Reuters) – Venezuela's opposition leader vowed on Sunday to fight late Hugo Chavez's preferred successor for the presidency next month and the pair quickly locked horns in an angry war of words.
Henrique Capriles, a 40-year-old state governor, will face election favorite and acting President Nicolas Maduro. The pair must register their candidacies for the April 14 vote on Monday.
Analysis: Deification of founder to help "Chavismo" survive
(Reuters) – Within hours of Hugo Chavez's death, makeshift altars were going up in homes and on street corners around Venezuela with candles, photos and offerings for the late president. Weeping beside his coffin, supporters are likening him to independence hero Simon Bolivar and even Jesus Christ. Ministers quote his words and precepts in reverential tones. Having fostered a cult of personality during his extraordinary life, Chavez is fast being deified in death.
The outpouring of love and mythologizing of Chavez may seem over-the-top to detractors, but the sentiments run deep for millions of supporters who adored his flamboyant style and attention to the poor while overlooking his autocratic side.
Jean Chrétien, what were you thinking?
Ahmadinejad, Castro, Chrétien all in Caracas as Chavez's funeral draws leaders from around the world
(National Post) Venezuela announced Thursday that it would embalm Chavez's body and put it on permanent display, a decision that touched off strong passions on both sides of this deeply divided country.
(HuffPost) Hugo Chavez is to have the somewhat dubious honour of joining the "controversial embalmed corpses of leaders" club, it was announced on Friday.
Some of the world's fiercest dictators and ideological leaders [e.g. China's Mao, Russia's Lenin, the Philippines' Marcos and Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh] have had their waxen remains placed in glass coffins for the faithful to shuffle past.
But to keep leaders like China's Mao and Russia's Lenin fresh from decay involves an intense and costly process. [Who, What, Why: How do you embalm a leader?]
Hugo Chávez's rotten legacy
The appeal of populist autocracy has been weakened but not extinguished
(The Economist) Behind the propaganda, Venezuela's ugly reality is that of a corrupt, cynical and incompetent regime. It is regrettable that Mr Chávez will not be around to reap the whirlwind he has sown: perversely, the worse things now get in Venezuela, the more this will flatter his memory. So despite its malign effect on Venezuela, chavismo will survive its creator's demise, much as Peronism has outlived Colonel Juan Perón in Argentina.
The venom behind the bear hugs
Elsewhere in Latin America, Mr Chávez's influence has waned in recent years. Ecuador's Rafael Correa is best placed to inherit his mantle: in power since 2007, he romped to another four-year term at an election in February—and he has oil. But Ecuador, like Bolivia, where Evo Morales, a fellow socialist, remains unchallenged, lacks Venezuela's size, wealth and clout. Argentina's Cristina Fernández, a semi-detached ally, has mounting problems of her own. As for Cuba, which gets around $6 billion a year from Venezuela, the Castros have manoeuvred to put Mr Maduro, their closest Venezuelan ally, in power. Cuban communism and the Bolivarian revolution have swum together; if Mr Maduro falters, they may sink together
So Long, Chávez — Where Does This Leave Venezuela?
By Michael Shifter
After a reign of 14 years, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez died on March 5, 2013. Regardless of what follows, Chávez's legacy, and the damage he left behind, will not be easily undone.
(Foreign Affairs) Two decades ago, following the end of the Cold War, the United States and Latin America seemed more prepared than ever before to forge political and economic partnerships. … Since 1999, however, when the recently deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez came to power, the sense of community in the region has dissipated. Policy divergences among Latin American countries have become sharper; free trade and liberal democracy are no longer popular goals; and Latin America and the United States have, albeit cordially, gone their separate ways. Admittedly, generalizations about Latin America are risky; after all, for every country that has deviated from democratic norms, another has moved toward them. And Chávez was not single-handedly responsible for deflating the hopeful spirit that prevailed two decades ago. But his relentless defiance of Washington and its chief allies — often accompanied by aggressive, even belligerent, rhetoric — polarized the region. … Chávez's approach to his country's acute social problems ultimately proved ineffective and unsustainable. His programs were patronage-driven and did virtually nothing to create enduring institutions for broad-based, long-term economic and social development. Although his aggressive attacks against traditional elite groups ("rancid oligarchy" was a favorite characterization), had some popular resonance, the virulence of his discourse made his social programs more controversial and divisive than necessary, which ultimately undermined their success.
Now the conspiracy theories are in full swing: Who really killed Hugo Chavez?
Chavez last words were 'I don't want to die'
As country begins seven days of mourning, head of presidential guard says Chavez died of a massive heart attack.
(Al Jazeera) President Hugo Chavez died of a massive heart attack after great suffering and inaudibly mouthed his desire to live, the head of Venezuela's presidential guard has said.
"He couldn't speak, but he said it with his lips … 'I don't want to die. Please don't let me die,' because he loved his country, he sacrificed himself for his country," General Jose Ornella told The Associated Press.
Death of a ruthless autocrat
(The Australian) HE was lionised as a hero by the Western Left, of course, but it would be hard to find a leader in recent history who more comprehensively betrayed the wellbeing of his country than Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. He was driven by an irrational, demagogic and self-defeating antagonism towards Washington that blinded him to his nation's best interests. … Squandering Venezuela's vast oil wealth should have been challenging. But Mr Chavez was more than equal to the task — his populist economics creating inflation now running at 22 per cent, massive corruption, a bloated public sector and a crippled private sector that has seen the number of private companies drop from 14,000 to 9000. Even China, which has lent Venezuela $US39 billion against future oil sales, gave up on him, sending his Foreign Minister scurrying back to Caracas empty-handed shortly before Mr Chavez's death.
Venezuela after Chávez — Now for the reckoning
(The Economist) … The bigger question in the months ahead will be how much will survive of Mr Chávez's "Bolivarian revolution", named for Simón Bolívar, South America's Venezuelan-born independence hero. His reluctance to surrender power despite his illness underlined just how personal his regime was. Through a mixture of unusual political talent and extraordinary good fortune, Mr Chávez managed to make himself into a world figure. Death cut short his oft-stated intention to rule his country until 2030. And it means he will not be around to face the reckoning after 14 years of a corrupt, oil-fuelled autocracy.
… After a pre-election spending binge last year, the economy is slowing again. Faced with shortages of many goods, including hard currency, Mr Maduro devalued the currency by 32% in February. Venezuela comes towards the bottom of just about every league table for good governance or economic competitiveness. For 14 years Venezuelans have been told that their problems were caused by somebody else—the United States or "the oligarchy". Getting ahead has depended on political loyalty rather than merit. The mass enrolment of millions in "universities" that mainly impart propaganda have raised expectations that are almost bound to be dashed.
… A majority of Venezuelans may eventually come to see that Mr Chávez squandered an extraordinary opportunity for his country, to use an unprecedented oil boom to equip it with world-class infrastructure and to provide the best education and health services money can buy. But this lesson will come the hard way, and there is no guarantee that it will be learned.
Venezuela's "Resource Curse" Will Outlive Hugo Chávez
(The New Yorker) As far as economists are concerned, Chávez was … On one hand, he was a nutty professor—an increasingly authoritarian one—carrying out a fascinating if unnerving experiment in utopian socialism: grabbing control of Venezuela's vast oil wealth, using its proceeds to fund social and anti-poverty projects, and expelling the free-market scolds from the I.M.F., the World Bank, and his country's business establishment. On the other hand, Chávez was a leader dealing with the "resource curse" that has afflicted all too many developing countries.
Rather than generating peace and prosperity, the presence of mineral and oil wealth in countries that have been poor often leads to political conflict, corruption, and, in extreme cases, civil war. While Venezuela remains a very divided country, it didn't fall to those depths. But with some estimates now showing Venezuela harboring bigger oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, the question of how to manage its immensely valuable natural resources may well cause even more intense conflict in the years ahead.
Hugo Chavez, fiery Venezuelan leader, dies at 58
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez was a former paratroop commander and self-styled "subversive" who waged continual battle for his socialist ideals. He bedeviled the United States and outsmarted his rivals time and again, while using Venezuela's vast oil wealth to his political advantage.
Chavez led one coup attempt, defeated another and was re-elected three times. Almost the only adversary it seemed he couldn't beat was cancer. He died Tuesday in Caracas at age 58, two years after he was first diagnosed.
The son of schoolteachers, he rose from poverty in a dirt-floor, mud-walled house, a "humble soldier" in the battle for socialism. He fashioned himself after 19th-century independence leader Simon Bolivar and renamed his country the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
During more than 14 years in office, his leftist politics and grandiose style polarized Venezuelans. The barrel-chested leader electrified crowds with his booming voice, and won admiration among the poor with government social programs and a folksy, nationalistic style.
Opponents seethed at the larger-than-life character who demonized them on television and ordered the expropriation of farms and businesses. Many in the middle class cringed at his bombast and complained about rising crime, soaring inflation and government economic controls.
Chavez used his country's oil wealth to launch social programs that included state-run food markets, new public housing, free health clinics and education programs. While poverty declined during his presidency amid a historic boom in oil earnings, critics said he failed to use the windfall of hundreds of billions of dollars to develop the country's economy.
The Ghost of Hugo Chávez
(Slate) How his economically disastrous, politically effective ideology will haunt the country he ruined.
What has Chávez bequeathed his fellow Venezuelans? The hard facts are unmistakable: The oil-rich South American country is in shambles. It has one of the world's highest rates of inflation, largest fiscal deficits, and fastest growing debts. Despite a boom in oil prices, the country's infrastructure is in disrepair—power outages and rolling blackouts are common—and it is more dependent on crude exports than when Chávez arrived. Venezuela is the only member of OPEC that suffers from shortages of staples such as flour, milk, and sugar. Crime and violence skyrocketed during Chávez's years. On an average weekend, more people are killed in Caracas than in Baghdad and Kabul combined. (In 2009, there were 19,133 murders in Venezuela, more than four times the number of a decade earlier.) When the grisly statistics failed to improve, the Venezuelan government simply stopped publishing the figures. …
Chávez didn't fear elections; He embraced them. Most opposition leaders will tell you that Venezuelan elections are relatively clean. The problem isn't Election Day—It's the other 364 days. Rather than stuffing ballot boxes, Chávez understood that he could tilt the playing field enough to make it nearly impossible to defeat him. Thus, the regime's electoral wizards engineered gerrymandering schemes that made anything attempted in the American South look like child's play. Chávez's campaign coffers were fed by opaque slush funds holding billions in oil revenue. The government's media dominance drowned out the opposition. Politicians who appeared formidable were simply banned from running for office. And the ruling party became expert in using fear and selective intimidation to tamp down the vote. Chávez took a populist message and married it to an autocratic scheme that allowed him to consolidate power. The net effect over Chávez's years was a paradoxical one: With each election Venezuela lost more of its democracy.
Hugo Chávez: Death of a socialist
(The Hindu) Hugo Rafael Chávez Frias, President of Venezuela, who died on March 5, 2013 at the age of 58, was a defining figure in Latin American politics for 15 years, becoming almost synonymous with the popular tide that has elected and re-elected left and centre-left governments across the continent in that time.
Hugo Chavez and the era of anti-American bogeymen
(BBC) Hugo Chavez is the latest outspoken critic of the US to leave the world stage. Is the era of the anti-American bogeymen at an end?
He floridly lambasted "imperial" American policies, compared George W Bush to Hitler and even warned that exporting Halloween to Latin America amounted to "terrorism".
But now Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez – variously portrayed as a six-times elected champion of the people or a constitution-fiddling demagogue – is dead.
His is not the only voice vociferously opposing the US to have fallen silent.
Recent years have seen the most prominent critics of American power exit the spotlight.
Chavez death reactions in Canada as polarized as in Venezuela
He thrived on confrontation, so it's no surprise that Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez's death has provoked mixed reactions in his country and around the world. …
Hugo Chavez's death made headlines in many Canadian newspapers. While The Montreal Gazette writes that "Hugo Chavez channeled oil money to the poor and transformed Venezuela", the National Post's front-page article says that Chavez is one among many left-leaning Latin leaders who have "brought political repression and economic hardship to their people."
To The Globe and Mail, the Venezuelan leader was revolutionary. To the Calgary Herald , he was a Chavez 'subversive' who "thrived on conflict."
The Ottawa Citizen preferred to put emphasis on Chavez's "polarizing revolution", Montreal French language newspaper La Presse summed up the leader's character with the headline: "Héros et trublion". Indeed, Hugo Chavez was at once a hero and a troublemaker.
Can Hugo Chavez's high-stakes revolution survive his death?
(CBC) Hugo Chavez, a giant on the Latin American political stage, is a hard act to follow
Venezuela has begun seven days of mourning following the death of President Hugo Chavez, who loomed so large in his country's politics and recent history. While Chavez's life is being remembered, many are also pondering the country's future.
During the 14 years Chavez was president, both Venezuela and Latin America saw significant change politically and economically. But Venezuela has seemed to be in a state of uncertainty since shortly after last year's presidential election. After winning it handily, Chavez announced his cancer had returned.
Why Did Hugo Chávez Hate the United States So Much?
He once wielded a ceremonial gavel at the New York Stock Exchange.
(Slate) … The relationship between the United States and Chávez took a decisive turn at the Third Summit of the Americas in Quebec City in April 2001. The Bush administration's top priority was finalizing the Free Trade Area of the Americas, which would have extended NAFTA throughout the Americas (excluding Cuba). Chávez was convinced the agreement would entrench disparities between the region's wealthy and poor countries. He accused the Bush administration of bullying smaller neighbors and treating the free trade agreement as a certainty "written on Moses's tablets." Although Chávez and Bush made weak attempts at reconciliation at the meeting—they told each other they wanted to be "friends" on the summit's final day—the meeting showed Chávez that his surest path to global significance was as an opponent of the United States. Chávez repeatedly claimed that the CIA was trying to assassinate him and that the United States attempted to oust him from office in 2002.
Chavismo After Chávez — The Race to Claim the Mantle of Venezuela's Revolution
By Javier Corrales
Venezuela's United Socialist Party is already facing a succession battle between two prospective successors to Hugo Chávez: Nicolás Maduro, an avowed communist and close friend of Cuba, and Diosdado Cabello, a former military official with ties to the country's business community. Whichever man wins, he will have to remember that Chávez has skillfully relied on a mix of both strategies to win the love of his people — strident anti-americanism and largess for the poor on the one hand, and kickbacks to big business and billions of dollars in oil sales to the United States on the other.

The first two items on this list are relatively simple, but the third can get rather complicated. But don't worry, we'll do our best to make sense of it. So, let's get to it!
Loops are just what they sound like, loops. Loops allow us to repeat a set of code over and over until the loop is finished or a certain result is achieved. For example; we may need to loop through an array and connect a port for each element in the array (That's a port scanner).
There are quite a few ways to perform loops in Ruby, but the way that I use most often is the .each method. What this means is that we need to use an iterable object and we need call .each after it. Once we perform these calls, we follow it with the keyword do followed by our variable(s).
There we go, we were able to print out each element of our array individually. Now that we know how loops work, let's move on to methods.
Alright, there we go! We were able to make and properly execute our methods! These will allow us to re-run a section of code whenever and wherever we need. Now that we've learned about methods, let's move on to a very important concept, begin/rescue.
In the span of these two article, I'm sure we've run into a few errors. When we make a script, we need to account for any possible errors that can occur. We need to account for these errors so that the error messages don't end up spilling all over the screen. This jumbled output looks extremely unprofessional and can often times devastate the functionality of a script.
We can use begin/rescue to account for these errors. It's fairly simple when you think about the words, begin this action, and rescue it from this error. There are many, many errors that can be generated by faulty code, and these errors are organized into a hierarchy. It would be very beneficial to become familiar with this hierarchy, this way you can distinguish between different errors and provide very specific feedback as to what went wrong.
There we go! We were able to successfully diagnose and account for a possible error! When making real life tools, error detection is extremely important. We stand no chance of notifying the users of an error if we don't even know what happened!
We covered some key topics today. After this article, we should all be on the same page for building our very own port scanner! We're going to actually be building the port scanner in the next article, I'll see you there!

http://2080baseball.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/LogoMLBWAS.png
Acquired: Signed as an international free agent (Dominican Republic) on July 2, 2013 (WSH).
Hitting .300 in 114 games between Potomac (High A) and Harrisburg (Double-A) with 10 home runs, 47 RBIs, 27 stolen bases, 37 doubles and eight triples for a .382 OBA and .493 SLG.
Contract purchased from Harrisburg on September 7 when rosters expanded.
September 7, in a 4-3 win against the Phillies. Went 0-for-1. Pinch-hitting for right-handed reliever Brandon Kintzler in the bottom of the seventh inning with one out and no one on, he faced left-handed reliever Adam Morgan and flew out to right field.
One of the most highly anticipated prospects to come up this fall, Robles becomes the youngest player in the majors at 20 years old and just the second born in 1997 (Braves infielder Ozzie Albies was the first, born in January of that year). Ranked by MLB.com as the No. 4 prospect in all of the minors, and not surprisingly therefore the Nationals' No. 1 prospect, he's slashed for a career .304/.395/.470 in his brief time as a pro and was a Carolina League All-Star this past summer. A true rare five-tool player with plus plus speed and arm and excellent range, he hit .280 with nine home runs, 42 RBIs and 37 steals between the Gulf Coast League (Complex), Hagerstown (Class A) and Potomac in 110 games in 2016, his first full season. In 2015, he batted .352 in 61 games between the GCL and Auburn (Short-Season A) with 24 steals after hitting .313 in 47 games in his pro debut in the Dominican Summer League in 2014, swiping 22 bases.

On August 4, 2016, CMS updated its web page for PAMA lab price reporting. It's HERE.
Labs doing more than $12,500 in Medicare revenue in 1H2016 must report all payments by private payers for all lab tests on a list. That list includes the regular CLFS prices, as well as those codes that are under contractor pricing (and possibly gapfilling) during 1H2016. Details after the break.
The inclusion of the latter codes is a correct decision by CMS. PAMA price reporting is about the collection of private payer payments, for codes that are not unlisted codes, in 1H2016. Whether CMS had its own price at the time or not is irrelevant to the nationwide collection of private payer prices.
CMS lists the Tier 2 molecular codes (81401 forward) as well as codes like Administrative MAAA codes, as long as they were active codes in 1H2016.
Some MACs like MolDX have a lengthy, gene by gene spreadsheet of how they price genes one by one inside of Tier 2 codes. It sounds like big labs will report their Tier 2 average pricing under PAMA and CMS will take the median, and as of 1/1/2018, that median will become the single fixed CMS price for each of the nine levels of Tier 2 codes.
Note that CMS has also posted a deck and transcript for its PAMA town hall call on July 6.
Toward the bottom of the CMS page, see various zip files for operational guidance.


Deadlocks have been used with great success in the industry for many years and still tend to be the preferred option for many users. They improve security by adding an additional locking point to the door and therefore work independently to the vehicles existing locking mechanism. As the deadlock requires user interaction it gives flexibility by allowing the user to decide which door is locked/unlocked.

Rural health centre
2022, Fertőszéplak
The site, which is adjacent to the church hill in the centre of the village, is currently occupied by buildings to be demolished and an existing vaulted cellar, which the traditionalist village insists on preserving. The planning scheme has provided for the construction of a general and paediatric practice, a health nurses' station and a pharmacy, with the possibility of a partial basement and attic at a later date. The mass of the building is determined by its two gable-roofed units. The flat-roofed porch is intended to link them, projecting from the main mass to accentuate the entrance and provide a dynamic facade. The external cladding of the units housing the health services is white. We placed white brickwork between the windows, up to their eyebrow height, which are finally made quite exciting by the crimson red aluminium composite cladding that dominates the flat, modern mass. (The current visual designs were created for a building materials manufacturer's white-coloured tile tender, the building is being constructed with a "Fertő-Lake façade design".)

Lo speziale (The Apothecary), Hob. 28/3, is a three-act opera buffa by Joseph Haydn, with a libretto by Carlo Goldoni.

A love triangle between the poor apprentice Mengone, the rich and assured dandy Volpino, and the local apothecary's ward, Grilletta, Lo speziale is a comedy of great warmth and ebullience.

Lo speziale prefigures Mozart. It opens with an aria complaining about an apprentice apothecary's job, much like Leporello's opening aria in Don Giovanni. The trouser role of Volpino reminds one of Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro and the young lovers' use of disguises will call Così fan tutte to mind.

The opera is scored for two flutes, two oboes, bassoon, two horns, strings, continuo.

Performance history
It was composed and first performed to popular and critical acclaim at Eszterháza in the autumn of 1768. It was performed twice more during Haydn's lifetime, on 21 and 22 March 1770.

The opera has probably been performed more than all of Haydn's other operas put together. A German edition (as Der Apotheker) was published in 1895.

Roles

Synopsis
An old man, Sempronio, is determined to marry a young woman, Grilletta, more for her money than for any other reason. Sempronio however has two rivals: his apprentice, Mengone, who has taken the job only to be near Grilletta, and Volpino, a young man about town.

Mengone has entered the service of the apothecary Sempronio, though he does not possess the slightest knowledge of chemistry. His love for Sempronio's ward Grilletta is the reason, and in the first scene he mixes drugs while making melancholy reflections on his lot, which has led him to a master who buries himself in his newspapers instead of attending to his business, and allowing his apprentices get on as best they may.

Sempronio relates that the plague is raging in Russia. The news that an old cousin of his has married his young ward is more interesting to him than all his drugs and pills; he intends to act likewise with Grilletta. This young lady has three suitors, one of whom, a rich young coxcomb, enters to order a drug. His real intention is to see Grilletta. He notices that Mengone loves her too, so he sends him out, in order to have Grilletta to himself. But she only mocks him, and on Mengone's return Volpino is forced to retire. Alone with Mengone, Grilletta encourages her timid lover, whom she likes, but just when he is about to take her hand Sempronio returns, furious to see them so intimate. He sends Mengone away to work and the young girl to her account books, while he buries himself once more in the papers.

Missing a map, he is obliged to leave the room: the young people take advantage of the situation, and when Sempronio, having lost his spectacles, goes to fetch them, Mengone grows bolder and kisses Grilletta. The old man returns at the supreme moment, and in a rage sends each to their room.

Mengone's effrontery emboldens Sempronio to marry Grilletta at once. He is however detained by Volpino, who comes to bribe him by an offer from the Sultan to go to Turkey as apothecary at court, war having broken out in that country. The wily young man insinuates that Sempronio will soon grow rich, and offers to give him 10,000 ducats at once, if he will give him Grilletta for his wife. Sempronio is quite willing to accept the Sultan's proposal, but not to cede Grilletta. So he sends Mengone away to fetch a notary, who is to marry him to his ward without delay. The maiden wracks her brains on how to rouse her timid lover to action.

Sempronio, hearing her sing sadly, suggests that she wants a husband and offers her his own worthy person. Grilletta accepts him, hoping to awaken Mengone's jealousy and rouse him to action. The notary comes, in whom Grilletta at once recognizes Volpino in disguise. He has hardly sat down, when a second notary enters, saying that he has been sent by Mengone and claiming his due. The latter is Mengone himself, and Sempronio, not recognizing the two, bids them sit down. He dictates the marriage contract, in which Grilletta is said to marry Sempronio by her own free will; the two false notaries distort every word of old Sempronio's, and each puts his own name instead of the guardian's. When the contract is written, Sempronio takes one copy, Grilletta the other and the whole fraud is discovered. Volpino vanishes, but Mengone promises Grilletta to do his best in order to win her.

In the last scene Sempronio receives a letter from Volpino, telling him that the Pasha is to come with a suite of Turks to buy all his medicines at a high price, and to appoint him solemnly as the Sultan's apothecary. Volpino indeed arrives, with his attendants, all disguised as Turks, but he is again recognized by Grilletta. He offers his gold, and seizes Grilletta's hand, to carry her off, but Sempronio interferes. Then the Turks begin to destroy all the pots and glasses and costly medicines, and when Sempronio objects, the false Pasha draws his dagger, but Mengone intervenes and induces the frightened old man to promise Grilletta to him, if he succeeds in saving him from the Turks. No sooner is the promise written and signed, than Grilletta tears off the Pasha's false beard and reveals Volpino, who retires baffled, while the false Turks drink the young couple's health at the cost of the two defeated suitors.

This blog is to celebrate the release of our Cocktails for Conservation menu available now at Bar 135. For every cocktail purchased from this menu, £1 will go towards conservation charities worldwide. The menu has been designed to utilise those spirits that give something back to wildlife conservation and where we've had to use other spirits we've gone for FAIR. products, the only certified Fair Trade spirit brand available on the market - taking responsible drinking to another level!
Whilst researching to produce a menu designed for positive environmental our search came across many different spirit companies that are ethical and sustainable. We had to draw the line at wildlife conservation as that is where our heart is and if we didn't draw a line somewhere, our menu would be too extensive and would detract from our main aim of raising money for the preservation of wildlife around the world.
Snow Leopard Vodka - 15% of all Snow Leopard Vodka profit goes directly to the Snow Leopard Trust. To date they have raised over $200,000 for Snow Leopard conservation.
Amarula - The Amarula Trust aims to safeguard the African elephant so that we can keep meeting them under the Marula trees, year after year. Sustainable environmental and educational projects are key to the preservation of our precious heritage.
Ceylon Arrack – At Ceylon Arrack they are passionate about wildlife, especially their native elephants, contributing to the conservation of wildlife in Sri Lanka with every bottle sold.
FAIR. is the world's first and unique Fair Trade Certified spirits brand. We respect about 200 rules to make sure that we pay the farmers at a fair price.
Over the coming weeks we will be looking at the animals and birds that these products support and highlighting the issues faced by each creature, starting with the African Elephant. As well as outlining the issues we will be looking at the flavour profiles of each spirit and offering recipes to make the most of the drinks, in the hope that you can make them at home and therefore help further with the efforts they are funding whilst enjoying great drinks at home.
Below is a copy of our new menu, please share with anyone you know and come in and enjoy a drink with us, in the knowledge that while you're enjoying yourself drinking some delicious cocktails (believe me I've tried them all!), you are also helping to save some of the worlds most endangered species.

Masterpieces of style
Author: Luciano Greggio

Buy from an Online Retailer
It was in 1919 that Ugo Zagato established Carrozzeria U. Zagato & C., a business that acquired great fame in just a few years among the numerous car manufacturers of the period, first of all Alfa Romeo, which entrusted the Milanese body stylist with designing and building the body of the unforgettable 6C 1750, as it did its 8C 2900 that appeared in the '30s. From then on, the famous marque became synonymous with style - not only in Italy - designing a series of masterpieces including the Lancia Aprilia Sport, the various Panoramic cars of the immediate post-war period, the Aston Martin DB4, the Alfa Romeo SZ and TZ, the Lancias Fulvia, Flavia and Flaminia and many more. From the '90s Zagato re-emerged as an atelier, designing small production run cars and sometimes one-offs for its wealthy clients. Luciano Greggio, the automobile historian, covers the fascinating story of this prestigious body stylist and has also written other books in the series as well as Zagato. The series, to be published soon, includes books on Touring, Bertone, Pininfarina, Giugiaro and Vignale & Ghia.
An expert in international car history, Luciano Greggio is an authorative journalist. He has worked for years in publishing and motoring journalism and is the author of the prestigious books Bertone 90 years 1912-2002 (2002), Abarth The man, the machines (2002) In the same series of Vignale: Masterpieces of Style (2020), he wrote Zagato (2017), Touring (2017), Pininfarina (2018) and Giugiaro (2019). He also co-authored the huge work Alfa Romeo The Official Book - Centenary edition (2010).

Carbon dioxide emissions rose in 2018, breaking a 3-year streak of year-on-year CO2 emission reductions. While many factors played a role in the emission increase, it was the country's overreliance on natural gas-fired power plants that was the ultimate culprit for the uptick in 2018 electric sector emissions.
Looking forward, the latest data from a federal agency suggests that the electricity industry's troubling trend to overbuild gas-fired power plants is only getting worse.
Will Cutting Carbon Emissions Increase MY Energy Bill? It doesn't have to.
Saturday Night Live (SNL) premiered a music video last weekend that was all about trees and climate change. And it resonated, because I also love trees. Chris Redd and Pete Davidson wrote the ecological anthem I didn't know I needed (warning – video contains strong language).
If there's one thing you need to know about the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule, the Trump Administration's new proposal for limiting carbon emissions from power plants, it's this: ACE was not designed to reduce emissions; ACE was designed to boost generation from coal plants.
Future funding for NASA's Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) was recently cancelled, leaving the important program in jeopardy unless Congress takes action soon.

Sound waves enter the ear canal and make the ear drum vibrate. This action moves the tiny chain of bones (ossicles) in the middle ear. The last bone in this chain 'knocks' on the membrane window of the cochlea and makes the fluid in the cochlea move. The fluid movement then triggers a response in the hearing nerve.
Tinnitus is the perception of noises in the head and/or ears which has no external source. It is not a disease or illness; it is a symptom generated within the auditory system. The noise may be in one or both ears, or in the head, or it may be difficult to pinpoint its exact location. The noise may be low, medium or high pitched. The may be a single noise or two or more components. The noise may be continuous or it may come and go.
Experiences of tinnitus are very common in all age groups, especially following exposure to loud noise. About 10% of the UK adult population have permanent tinnitus.
Exposure to loud noise - hair cells can also be damaged by exposure to loud noise, which could generate tinnitus.
An ENT specialist will take a medical history from you, perform a clinical examination and arrange for any tests. You should then be referred to the Audiology service for help in managing your tinnitus.
BTA Helpline - if you would like to talk to someone about tinnitus, you can telephone the British Tinnitus Association (BTA) helpline on 0800 018 0527 and speak in confidence to one of our friendly advisers who have years of experience in talking to people with tinnitus.
Support groups - the BTA can also put you in touch with a support group or contact if there is one in your area. Groups are run by people who are living with tinnitus - personal contact and shared experience are very useful for many people with tinnitus.

Algonquin Youth Ensemble Stars In Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream On April 28 & 29
Production Concludes First Tuition Free Semester For Algonquin's Marquee Education Program

MANASQUAN, N.J. (April 25, 2017) - Algonquin Arts Theatre produces a play by William Shakespeare for the first time as the Algonquin Youth Ensemble stars in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" on April 28 & 29.
Algonquin Youth Ensemble is the Algonquin's marquee instructional program. Students are selected to participate through a highly competitive audition process prior to the start of the semester. In addition to rehearsing for their main stage performances, AYE students are enrolled in a class that runs in conjunction with the rehearsal period teaching theatre skills and concepts that are applied to the production.
Due to the support of Algonquin donors and sponsors, participation in this AYE production and class is completely tuition free to participants for the first time.
"By offering AYE as a tuition free program we have taken the important step of removing barriers to participation in our marquee education program," said Algonquin Executive Director Pamela Ward. "This isn't possible without the support of our sponsors, especially 'Broadway Ray Soehngen' and Eliot Arlo Colon, who made tuition-free AYE a reality."
Tickets are available online at algonquinarts.org and by phone at 732-528- 9211 for performances on Friday, April 28 and Saturday, April 29 at 8 p.m. The cast will also appear in two daytime performances for school groups on April 28 as part of the Algonquin's Education Series.
Written in the late 1500s, "Midsummer" is one of Shakespeare's most resilient comedies and most-performed works. The four plot lines in the play all connect through the celebration of the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta, a former queen of the Amazons.
The cast of "Midsummer" is Ella Cardelfe (Spring Lake), Bianca D'Anton (Manasquan), Michael Deitz (Belmar), Sarah Hendricks (Brielle), Taylor Landau (Brick), Emily Latshaw (Wall), Emily Madeira (Howell), Jake Maglies (Brick), Kelly Merk (Point Pleasant), Jill Moran (Point Pleasant Beach), Ashley Moshett (Howell), Luke Pearlberg (Brielle), Analise Piemonte (Point Pleasant), Jack Ramina (Wall), Julia Scaffidi (Wall), Payton Siano (Brielle), Devlin Stark (Oceanport), Keelin Stark (Brielle) and Dianna Whaley (Long Branch).
"Midsummer" is directed by Ruben Nagy and produced by Algonquin Director of Arts Education Julie Nagy.
"Shakespeare can be fun and relatable," said director Ruben Nagy. "Midsummer is a great way to get your feet wet in Shakespeare. It's silly, fast-paced and well-loved by modern audiences."
Students on the production team include stage manager Olivia Verni (Point Pleasant) and the running crew members of Ryan Alger (Wall), Brendan Gillespie (Manasquan), Amelia Johnson (Manasquan) and Adam Knobloch (Marlboro).
As the students take the stage this weekend, AYE will be looking ahead to summer as it holds auditions for Peter Pan on Saturday, April 29 and Sunday, April 30. Audition information is available online at algonquinarts.org.
Algonquin Arts Theatre's programs are made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts / Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. Funding is also provided by Manasquan Bank, Broadway Ray, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Freed Foundation, the PNC Foundation, the Horizon Foundation of New Jersey, the OceanFirst Foundation, the Investors Bank Foundation, the Provident Bank Foundation and the generosity of our patrons.
The theatre was voted New Jersey's favorite small performing arts center south of the Raritan River in 2015 and 2016.

WOODLAND PARK, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, June 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — After nearly 50 years and more than 60 million babies lost, Roe v Wade has been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.
In the Dobbs v. Mississippi Women's Health case, the Supreme Court sent the issue of abortion to the states to decide. In a majority decision, Justice Samuel Alito wrote, "The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision."
Just last month, Alito's draft opinion leaked to the media, sending shockwaves through the nation—especially the pro-abortion camp.
According to Andrew Wommack, president of Truth & Liberty Coalition, "While this is a time of rejoicing and expressing our gratitude to the Lord for the brave men and women who made this decision, and all the people who have worked against abortion all these years, we also have to stand strong in the power of His might (Eph. 6:10)—because our work isn't done."
Dozens of states already have pro-life laws ready to enact in wake of Roe's reversal, but Colorado recently passed the most aggressive pro-abortion bill in the nation—allowing the murder of babies in the womb up to the moment of birth.
According to Richard Harris, executive director of Truth & Liberty Coalition, "This is an incredible and wonderful day in the history of America! In Isaiah 28, the prophet laments that Israel made a covenant with death but prophesies in verse 18 that God will disannul that covenant and bless the nation. Today, our national 'covenant with death' has been disannulled. Hundreds of thousands of innocent lives will now be spared in states with the moral clarity and courage to restrict abortion."
Standing for biblical truth, supporting pro-life legislation, and electing strong constitutional conservatives at the local, state, and federal level will be key in protecting the rights of the unborn and ensuring "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" for all Americans.
"Now that we are in the Third Great Awakening, we may see the end of abortion in this generation—but it will take the Church working together to see it come to pass," said Wommack.

What you have earned and saved over a lifetime of hard work means a lot to you. Your Last Will and Testament, more commonly known as a Will, is essential to ensuring that your decisions are honored after you are gone. A Will allows you to provide, in an enforceable way, how and to whom your wealth will pass upon your death.
You may not be aware of this, but if you don't have a Will, the state will determine who receives your assets. Read more on this here.
If you have children under the age of 18, it is critical that you have a Will. If you were to die and leave your child parentless, someone else would have to provide care and guidance. Through your Will, you get to choose who this person is. If you fail to have a Will, you leave it to a judge to decide who the child's guardian will be.
Creating a Will allows you to leave your property to whomever you wish. You can make sure that the right people or charities get the right amount at the right time in the right way.
In your Will, you name your executor—the person who will manage your affairs after your death. The responsibilities of your executor includes paying all your outstanding taxes and debts, and making distributions to those entitled to share in your estate.
If you have disabled beneficiaries for whom you need to make special arrangements, you can include a third party supplemental needs trust in your Will. You can also make provisions for an income-only trust, a life use, or installment distributions to a beneficiary as they obtain preset ages (example: ½ at age 30 and ½ at age 35).
Thinking about doing your Will online? Read this before you do.


The book Freedom Movement and Indian Muslims, written by late Santimoy Ray (1914-1999)—a renowned freedom fighter, educationist and crusader for communal harmony, who had been a part of the historic Jugantar revolutionary party since his young age and faced a decade of imprisonment—not only provides many such important details, which have remained largely hidden from the eyes of the concerned people, but also brings forth the role of the Indian Muslims on a broader canvas of anti-imperialist struggle. His contention is that "[t]he main reason to exclude struggles of 18th and 19th centuries by conventional luminaries is a conscious or (may be) an unconscious endeavour to blackout the role of the peasantry—both Hindus and Muslims—and of the tribals, more particularly of the heroic and positive role of the Muslim community to end the British rule in India". The book, 'dedicated to those martyrs of Pakistan and India who laid down their lives in protecting the minorities', was first published by the People's Publishing House in 1979, and has been reprinted by the National Book Trust; it should be translated in all Indian languages as it can help millions of people to get out of the stereo-types they are still carrying about the 'other' community.
Chapter three deals with the phase of emerging nationalism and the changes in the nature of resistance put up by the Indian masses and the altered modus operandi of the Britishers as well. One notices that the 'Muslim mind' cannot be considered a monolith now and one can categorise the 'Muslim mind into modernist and traditio-nalist' or 'pro-British and anti-British'. The modernist or pro-British Muslim leaders felt dismayed at the growing frustration of the Muslims' declining aristocracy and their retinue including ulemas. They opposed the 'suicidal resistance of the Wahabis and particularly negative attitude of the ulemas'… They wanted that Muslim masses accept British rule as salvation and appealed to the Muslim masses to educate themselves on Western lines. The traditionalists, represented by the ulama, continued in the same vein and 'looked beyond the immediate communal gains to the historical growth of India's national liberation struggle'. The founders of the Darul Ulema Deoband represented 'the rebellious spirit of the disgruntled Muslims' since the days of the Wahabi movement.

Zendaya & Zac Efron Talk Racism & Love in The Greatest Showman Bluray DVD #GreatestShowman
By Onica 4/10/2018 06:09:00 PM Event, InterCelebs, Movie
A few months back I interviewed the director and cast of THE GREATEST SHOWMAN about the story-line, music and more behind the film. We also discussed racism, discrimination and the interracial love story.
Now that The Greatest Showman has been released on Blu-ray and DVD, I wanted to share more about these issues since it makes a powerful point in the film.
Note: I was invited as media to the movie screening and press junket by 20th Century Fox. However any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.
You can read those interview here
The Greatest Showman Cast Interview: Hugh Jackman, Zendaya & Zac Efron
Keala Settle, Rebecca Ferguson & Michael Gracey Interview for The Greatest Showman
Behind the Songs for The Greatest Showman with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul
When I interviewed director Michael Gracey, I asked him about bringing in the racism tie-in into the storytelling on the life of P.T. Barnum. I was really curious why and how he actually wrote that in, because, I mean, it fit but it didn't fit.
Michael Gracey: Well, I did a lot of reading, when we started working on this project, and so did Hugh. And we read a lot of books about the life of P.T. Barnum, and he rewrote his own history multiple times. And he was a very flawed character, you know?
But something that I found really fascinating was his support of civil rights, and he was a huge advocate. And I really wanted to reflect that in the film. At the time, seven years ago, I thought it was still relevant to this day. And sadly, it became increasingly relevant over the seven years of developing it.
Michael Gracey: And then, I cast Zendaya, who--I just find her incredible, but she had a lot to say about her own experience with mixed race parents. And so, I think it was a combination. It was a combination of writing the character, of casting Zendaya, writing more with her in mind. So, that's kind of how the evolution of that love story came about.
Speaking of Zendaya, her character Anne love story with Phillip (Zac Efron) brought so much to the THE GREATEST SHOWMAN so it was great to have them share more about it.
Zac Efron plays Phillip Carlyle, the sophisticated man of the theatre who quits his upper-crust life to join the circus – and becomes Barnum's ringmaster protégé; and Zendaya plays Anne Wheeler, the daring, taboo-breaking, pink-haired aerialist for whom Carlyle falls headlong.
Appeal of their characters
Efron was instantly attracted to The Greatest Showman as "a merging of worlds." He explains: "I love that even though the story is set in the 1870s, there's a real modern sensibility and it's about issues that mean a lot to us today. I thought the script was incredibly creative and done in a way I've never seen before."
Zendaya knew right away the role was for her – especially because Anne is a natural leader of the so-called Oddities." "To me, Anne is very confident, very poised and very comfortable in her own skin, at least when it comes to being in the circus. I think that's what the circus does for all the Oddities. It allows them a place where they can believe in themselves, where they can experience respect and love and have a safe space to be who they are."
The forbidden interracial love story
Zendaya was drawn to the love story, because it was honest about the obstacles inter-racial lovers faced for so long in America.
"It's tragic that Anne and Phillip's can't love each other in the way they long to literally due to the color of their skin," Zendaya says.
"At the time, it would have been dangerous, so most of what they can do is just exchange looks. For Anne, it's especially hard because she's dealt with racism all her life and now she's slowly falling in love with the exact kind of person she always thought hated her. But love is not something you control. Love just happens to you."
For Efron, Carlyle's first experience in Barnum's circus is one of a man having the haze lifted from his eyes. In Wheeler, Carlyle sees someone brave and thrilling, but the fact that she is African-American puts their love in a prohibited zone at the very start.
Says Efron: "Although Phillip's feelings for Anne are completely real and justified, they're also forbidden by society at that time and it's really sad. That was a very different time -- though even today, social boundaries and differences go on preventing love and preventing people from uniting with one another.
The big breakthrough for Phillip, I think, is that moment he realizes that you don't have to live within the constraints that everyone else has drawn. You don't have to follow rules that are wrong. You don't have to color inside the lines. You can be your own person."
The character gave Efron the chance to get caught up in the kind of cinematic moment that most inspires him. "Falling in love in a musical number on camera is one of my absolute favorite things to do in the world," he confesses. "I'm not ashamed to say it. I know it's pretend but when you get to live in that kind of moment for a scene or two, it feels amazing. It brings you back to Gene Kelly and Singin' In The Rain. Are there any better ways to express true love than in song?"
One of the more romantic songs is "Rewrite The Stars," a duet between Efron and Zendaya. "That moment is about Phillip's decision to leave behind the rules of upper-class society and pursue Anne. He's saying to her the rules don't exist anymore for me anymore and can't you dream this with me?
But Anne is more practical because she's dealt with more hardship than he's ever known," Pasek elucidates. "This is the moment they decide to jettison the notion that their love is impossible and dream of a better future. Of course, that's also what Barnum is always pushing, especially the way Hugh portrays him."
Though Efron has some movie musical chops, he notes that the dancing he and Zendaya do on The Greatest Showman was on another level. "This was some of the most technical choreography I've ever attempted in my entire life," he confesses.
Sharing that his favorite number is the star-crossed duet, "Rewrite the Stars.", Efron explained: "It's not your typical choreography and we do some pretty crazy acrobatics. Zendaya was remarkably skilled at trapeze by this point and we were doing aerial stunts, swinging around the room, not even using harnesses. Luckily, nothing went wrong – and it turned out to be really beautiful and unique. I think of it as being Cirque du Soleil meets Shakespeare in a way."
Zendaya for her part dove into training, spending months working with professional aerialists, gaining upper body and core strength and taming fear. "My body has been through a lot, and I've had lots of bruises and soreness to show for it," she laughs, "but it's been so worth it, especially seeing Michael's vision come to life. I never in my entire life thought that I would be flying around in the air but I'm very proud of myself, because I tried my best and came way out of my comfort zone. Now, I'm no longer afraid of heights!

Diversity has become a watchword in the business world. Businesses often advertise diversity, but when you look under the hood, there may not be much truth in the hype. Through globalization, we see a more encompassing and diverse customer profile, and today's digital disruption alters the way we connect with them.
Diversity simply means variety. In life, and in the workforce, diversity means incorporating a myriad of viewpoints, backgrounds, skills, and life experiences. The opportunity lies in unlocking and assembling the unique perspectives across multiple talented and skilled individuals. The more diverse the workforce, the more creative and innovative ideas will be considered to solve problems and drive growth. According to a Forbes Survey, 85% of enterprises agree that diversity results in the most innovative ideas.
What has changed now is the rapid pace at which technology and globalization is driving the market towards greater diversity, as well as an expectation for companies to respond faster.
When I started in my career many years ago, we targeted a handful of market segments and led focus groups to understand how products addressed needs. The process of making sense of the data would take months – and that was acceptable back in the day. In today's digital world, we have the opportunity to interact directly with our customers through social media, and they are quick to provide immediate feedback. Social media provides us the ability to share ideas and collaborate in near real time – it's the modern focus group!
Greater variety translates into employees with language skills and knowledge of cultural practices that can help us build relationships and market share anywhere in the world. And with such talent, we are given the opportunity to expand our thinking.
Wilson's observations can be easily seen in my team, too. Because we are structured as a global organization, we can capture ideas from across the globe. We use design thinking as a framework for ideation where we include a variety of roles from inside and outside our partners' organizations, with the objective of creating meaningful ideas based on a variety of different viewpoints. Our partners appreciate our approach as an inherent way to incorporate diversity into the creation process.
Diversity goes hand in hand with our goals of co-innovation and digital transformation. The same benefits you reap from better business intelligence and Big Data also come from building a community of people with diverse and unique backgrounds.
The more diverse the employee pool, the more agile and innovative companies will be. It is critical that companies are representative of all people, regardless of race, gender, age, or other human differences as we engage with our customers. Building a corporate culture that enables and encourages diversity helps organizations connect to a broader market more quickly. And as diversity continues to be addressed at all levels, it becomes easier to identify, attract, and develop top talent.

Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) Regulations Take Effect as Consumers Cry Foul
The new regulations governing the supply and retail of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) have taken effect, even as consumers cry foul. This follows the closure of businesses by many LPG retailers who failed to comply with the regulations by 31st December 2019.
The regulations were passed into law in June last year. However, the Energy and Petroleum Regulation Authority (EPRA) gave the retailers six months, upto December 31st, to comply with the new regulations.
The new regulations mandate that all gas retailers should register their businesses. They should also obtain valid licences from EPRA or its licensing agents. Additionally, the licence remains valid for jetty, pipeline, bulk storage facility and liquefied petroleum gas reticulation system. This will be for a period of three years from the date of issue.
However, in the case of retail liquefied petroleum gas cylinders, the licences are valid for two years from the date of issue.
The regulations, also, demand that each business location shall be specific to the authorised cylinder brands only. According to a member of the LPG exchange board, providers will licence distributors who in turn are only limited to give permit to six dealers.
Furthermore, anyone who acts contrary to the regulations will be fined KSh10 million or more, a term of imprisonment of five years or more or risk the withdrawal of their operating licence.
Due to all these changes, Cofek had originally warned that the cost of the product will escalate, and the new laws will promote monopoly. This is because it will restrict the business to merchants such as Petrol stations.
So, with the closure of most businesses, consumers are at a loss, with limited options to choose from.


Allison Wyatt - reportedly died at sandy Hook.
Lilly, whose image was allegedly stolen from Facebook.
Extracts from: Dunblane 2.0: The Sandy Hook Elementary School Black Op by Undeleted Evidence.
• Lt. J. Paul Vance stated that Adam Lanza forced his way into the school.
I don't believe it happened this way, because they refuse to show the front door of the school at all. Also the first responders and police had to break windows to get inside the school. If the front door had been blasted away, why not enter that way?
• 16-12-12 ATF Special Assistant Agent Gene Marquez said his agency "has not been able to uncover any evidence that the mother and the son were actively engaged in going to the gun ranges, practicing marksmanship, or anything of that nature."
Several local gun ranges corroborated that fact as well.
• Among the weapons recovered ... there is no mention at all of any Glock 10mm which Adam Lanza was suicided with.
• According to the police dispatcher on the day of the shooting spree, an unidentified teacher called into 911, and detailed that he saw two shadows running past the gym towards the back of the school. The only male teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School was 25 year-old Ted Varga, so therefore it had to have been he who made the call.
• It was reported that school custodian Kevin J. Anzellotti ran through the school halls warning school staff and students, and checking that all the doors were locked from the inside.
School staffer Shari Thornburg said that Anzelotti was also heard yelling at a gunman inside the school to "Put the gun down! Put the gun down".
What this tells us is that Kevin Anzelotti actually saw one of the shooters and no one is interviewing him at all about what he witnessed.
• On 14/12/12 11:03 AM Danbury Police reported over their scanners that they were on the lookout for a PURPLE or MAROON VAN in connection with the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
• Radio dispatch further relayed, "Two occupants with possible ski masks that may be involved with this incident.
Exit 8 heading down Stoney Hill towards the center".
At 11:10 dispatch continued "They may be involved with this incident.
Also we are getting reports one of them maybe wearing a Nun outfit, heading towards Danbury, Stoney Hill, purple van - unknown plate.
At 11:17 AM dispatch reported, "People in the van had masks, one was dressed in what appears to be a nun's uniform… outfit".
11:17:29 AM: "Is 1089 available to go on route 8 and make a post for this purple van?" Unidentified police unit responded, "Yeah, I'll continue to Griffin… once I get to Griffin we'll figure it out. 1089 will post for that vehicle." Dispatch responded, "Alright roger that, I'll try and get more information on the van".
• Superintendent of schools in Newtown Janet Robinson, said there was no record that Nancy Lanza had ever worked at the school as a full-time or substitute teacher, or in any other capacity.
• Adam Lanza had no ties to, or reason to be at that school other than to perform the atrocity op. It makes no logical sense why Adam specifically targeted the school if he had no connection there. Even if he may have attended it 14 to 15 years previously.
• At the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year, Sandy Hook Elementary School sent their revised security policy to all parents. In it they stated, "Every visitor will be required to ring the doorbell at the front entrance and the office staff will use a visual monitoring system to allow entry."
What this denotes is that there were/are/was security camera monitoring at the school, particularly at the front door entrance. This means that when Adam or the perpetrators gained access to that front door as the police allege, it was all captured on video; at least live if not recorded as well.
• The Sig Sauer P226 is the weapon many Navy SEALs carry as a side arm due to its compact nature, power and reliability.
• Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. H. Wayne Carver stated the parents identified the children through photos, allegedly to spare them some shock. This greatly deviates from normal procedures carried out by coroners and medical examiners. Why? Also, why were the children's bodies removed under cover of darkness, and such secrecy?
• The .223 Remington Bushmaster rifle is the same one used in the DC Sniper black op.
• Richard Novia, a former director of security for the Newtown School District, stated that although he was not able to give details about Adam's specific condition, he reported Adam Lanza did not have any violent tendencies. Novia continued, "In a security aspect, it wouldn't be what he would do," he said. "It was what they might do to him". He wasn't feared to be a danger to others, however.
• In a police scanner recording the black Honda Civic Connecticut license 872-YEO is said to be owned by a Christopher Rodia and NOT by Nancy Lanza. Which would make total sense seeing the huge house she owned and her monied lifestyle, it just doesn't fit.
CONTINUED HERE: Dunblane 2.0: The Sandy Hook Elementary School Black Op by Undeleted Evidence.
JORDAN MARSH URE SAYING? IS THAT A COINCIDENCE OR WHAT? ANOTHER FAKE CHARACTER/ACTOR?
• On 14/12/12 11:09 AM Danbury Police reported over their scanners that they were on the lookout for a PURPLE or MAROON VAN in connection with the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
