Sustainability key trend at this year's Gifted Fair
Updated / Thursday, 5 Dec 2019 09:19
Gifted - the Contemporary Craft and Design Fair - is running at the RDS until Sunday
By Adam Maguire
Business Journalist
Sustainability is one of the big trends at this year's Gifted Fair, which opened in Dublin's RDS yesterday.
Around 45,000 people are expected to attend the five day event, with an increasing number of them focused on environmentally-friendly and ethically-produced goods.
Responding to that the event has an entire section for sustainable companies, which was curated by stylist and podcaster Jo Linehan.
"They asked me to come in and basically hand-pick some sellers who, not only are sustainable but have really amazing, special products," she said.
"So people can come here and find a really unique gift - and know that it's really eco-friendly as well," Ms Linehan said.
The issue of sustainability is not new, but it appears to have truly hit the mainstream in 2019. In turn that has created more conscious consumers, who are as interested in origin as they are in price.
"I think it's been an accumulation of things, there definitely is a shift of consciousness with consumers," Ms Linehan said. "I think it's been a lot of years of people banging on about it and suddenly it's all starting to make sense.
"People are thinking smart with their money and they want to know that, not only is a gift going to be really beautiful, but it has a really nice story attached," she explained.
One of those stories is Grown - a clothing brand that promises to make the country a little greener - literally - with each item sold.
"We've developed a very Irish, unique brand which specialises in high-quality, low-impact, environmentally-friendly clothing," said Neil McCabe, one of three firemen to establish clothing brand Grown.
"We use earth-positive ink, we use 100% organic cotton as a material and we plant one Irish tree, in Ireland, for every garment that we create," he explained.
But for Neil, sustainability in fashion is not just about changing the manufacturing process - it is also about changing consumer attitudes towards their clothes.
While it may be counter-intuitive for a business, he says they regularly discourage people from buying more products and instead get them to focus on one or two more considered purchases each year.
That focus on sustainable quality is key for another new Irish clothing brand - this one specialising in sleepwear.
"I worked in marketing initially and then I worked in responsible sourcing - so I decided to go out on my own and create a product and have it produced in factories that are ethical," said Cliona O'Brien, founder of Moon & Mellow.
That means that the various stages of the brand's production process are independently audited. The demand for that kind of verification was something Cliona first identified in her previous role in sourcing.
"We worked with bigger brands globally, and probably in the last six to seven years I noticed they were becoming more conscious of where we were producing - they wanted to have transparency in their supply chain," she said.
But for another sustainable exhibitor, their business came about in a slightly more random way.
Seán O'Sullivan runs Badly Made Books, which publishes notebooks, books and stories on recycled paper.
"It was very much an organic process based on the fact that I learned to make books, having written a book and failed to produce it very well," he said.
"I built a company then that would publish my second book, that I still haven't written."
Like many sustainably-focused companies - Badly Made Books has seen interest levels spike in the past year
"It's been bubbling under the surface for a while, but I think this year there's really been an explosion in popularity," Mr O'Sullivan said.
It is not just the pages of a book that are becoming more sustainable - but also the message contained within them.
Emma-Jane Leeson recently published her fourth Johnny Magory book, which aims to encourage a more nature-based mindset amongst children and parents.
"They are all about Ireland and the whole idea is to educate children on Irish heritage and wildlife, in a fun way," she said.
"Each one is set in a different area of Ireland and then it's all about making characters out of the animals; so kids might get pine martens, or herons or corn crakes into their language and their everyday use", she explained.
Emma says in the few years that she has been publishing, she has seen a big change - for the better - in how her message is being received.
"I got my first book out three years ago for my 30th and I self-published it as a hobby," she said.
"In the three years to now there's a huge change - people are realising that their kids are happier and healthier if they are outside and they are outside playing.
"It's something that parents are really eager about their kids to do as well. It's a big change!" she added,

The article shows the results of research regarding the evaluation of the quality of teaching at the Pedagogical University in Cracow conducted on a group of students in the geography faculty. The evaluation was carried out using a questionnaire completed by Year 1 part-time and full-time students. The questions were compiled in the following groups: the quality of the teaching activities, practical and professional training; the quality of the didactic base, the attitude and behaviors of the academic teachers towards the students, the quality of cultivating the chosen skills and attitudes at the faculty of geography.
Based on conducted research most students would decide to apply again to study geography at the Pedagogical University despite differing opinions about the various aspects of the quality of teaching.

Netflix's 'Special' hopes to break new ground for disability representation on TV
From USA Today: (A video in which Ryan O'Connell talks about coming out as disabled.)
The only thing more difficult for Ryan O'Connell than coming out as gay? Coming out as disabled.
The TV writer-turned-star told his friends and family he was gay when he was 17, but waited until he was 28 to let his new friends and co-workers know that he has cerebral palsy. He was severely injured after being hit by a car seven years earlier, which he used as a catch-all excuse for his limp when he moved from Ventura, California, to New York at 21.
"People just assumed it was from my accident, so it was the perfect lie," O'Connell says. "It was definitely harder to come out about being disabled, because I had to sift through years of trauma from being closeted (about my disability) and what that did to me psychologically."
O'Connell, 32, mines that tricky path to self-acceptance for laughs in his new Netflix comedy "Special," streaming Friday, which is based on his 2015 memoir "I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves."
The show is co-produced by Jim Parsons and features eight 15-minute episodes in its first season. It stars O'Connell as a more introverted version of himself who lives with his selfless, helicopter mom (Jessica Hecht). As in real life, on-screen Ryan tries to hide his cerebral palsy from his work BFF (Punam Patel) and skeptical supervisor (Marla Mindelle) when he starts a new job as a blogger, while also struggling with body image as he enters the gay dating scene.
As Ryan discovers in the show, learning to love oneself is "always an evolution," O'Connell says. "I'm not going to say to anyone, 'I love having CP now! Live, laugh, love!' I want to be able to say that, and there are days when I do feel that way, but it can still be really hard. I still get asked by strangers, 'What's wrong with you?' or 'Do you need to go to the hospital?' Those are the moments when I really dislike ... society and how we're treated."
"Special" offers crucial visibility in a TV season when just 18 characters on broadcast series (about 2% of the total measured) are disabled, according to GLAAD. A 2016 study by the Ruderman Family Foundation also found that more than 95% of disabled characters on TV are played by able-bodied actors.
There are some exceptions: ABC sitcom "Speechless" stars Micah Fowler, who has CP, and Netflix's "Atypical" added five actors with autism to its cast for Season 2. But it's still TV executives' responsibility to hire more disabled talent in front of and behind the camera, foundation President Jay Ruderman says.
Better representation will "only happen through more and more shows like ("Special"). There are plenty of actors out there with disabilities who are just waiting for the chance to do something like this," Ruderman says. "For some reason, the streaming services are willing to take more risks than the networks." (Amazon, for instance, has ordered a new series about three 20-somethings on the autism spectrum from "Parenthood" creator Jason Katims.)
While writing for MTV's "Awkward" in 2015, O'Connell pitched "Special" to cable and streaming platforms, but was met with resistance.
"It was really strange, because the pitches went over like gangbusters, we were told we'd get an offer, and then it just never happened," O'Connell says. "One person off the record said they were scared for their job in terms of greenlighting this, because it was still a very different world," when networks only began warming to subversive female-led comedies such as "Inside Amy Schumer" and "Broad City."
But he believes that people are ready for a show like "Special" now, and hopes it can do for disabled actors and creatives what Amazon's Emmy-winning "Transparent" did for trans representation when that series premiered five years ago.
"I hope that we're going to have more shows by actually disabled people," O'Connell says. "Disabled people need to have the agency and power, and they need to be behind it. They need to have creative control over their own story, so I hope that 'Special' comes out and it's just one of many disabled shows out there."

Dark skies: UN meeting reveals a world in a really bad mood
Sci/Tech News
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The planet is heating. Island nations are slipping away. A Pakistan-India nuclear war could be a "bloodbath." Governments aren't working together like they used to. Polarization is tearing us apart. Killing. Migration. Poverty. Corruption. Inequality. Sovereignty violations. Helplessness. Hopelessness.
Smog blankets the sky in Mexico City. Both lower schools and universities were closed for a third straight day for the pollution alert triggered by smoke from ongoing brush fires combined with the lack of rain.
Protesters stand in front of fire during a pro-democracy protest in Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Hundreds of people are rallying in an athletic park in central Hong Kong as a 13th-straight weekend of pro-democracy protests gets underway.
A migrant stands behind fence at a refugee camp in the village of Diavata, west of Thessaloniki, northern Greece. About 300 migrants from various parts of Greece gathered outside the Diavata camp, in response to an anonymous posting on social media that urged migrants trapped in Greece to go to the border with North Macedonia and try to push their way through _ with a view to crossing a series of sealed Balkan borders and reaching Europe's prosperous heartland.
A homeless person burns garbage in the polluted river Cooum in Chennai, capital of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The southern Indian city of Chennai has one of the world's fastest-growing economies, but it's out of water, threatening to put a brake on all that growth.

A police officer stands guard in front of the Masjid Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, where one of two mass shootings occurred.
"The problems of our times are extraordinary," Ibraham Mohamed Solih, president of the Maldives, an Indian Ocean island nation threatened by the rising waters of climate change, said at the U.N. General Assembly a few days ago.
There are those mornings when you come into work and everyone seems cranky. That's how it felt at the United Nations this past week during the annual gathering of world leaders. Speech after gloomy speech by leaders from all corners of the planet pointed toward one bleaker-than-thou conclusion: Humanity clearly needs a spa day.
The United Nations was founded in an optimistic fervor after World War II's devastation, on the notion that a cooperative body of countries could construct a brighter future by learning to get along. Though that hope remains a fundamental underpinning, the actual tenor these days seems to set a lower bar: Try to mitigate climate Armageddon, and prevent some of its 193 member nations' diligent attempts to undermine and sometimes destroy each other.
So words like "existential threat" were as much a part of the leader-speech landscape this past week as the usual references to "this august body." "We are living in times when the magnitude and number of lasting crises is constantly increasing," said Igor Dodon, Moldova's president. "We have had enough wars. We don't want new wars," said Iraqi President Barham Salih, who would certainly know. And from Roch Marc Christian Kabore, president of Burkina Faso, came this understatement: "International news has been marked by tension."
Some of this is pure rhetoric. If you're a nation of the world and you want something — money, troops, action, understanding — you must lay out a problem so you can propose the solution or, at least, persuade your compatriots that a solution is necessary.
So leaders and diplomats bring a lot of problems to the U.N. this time of year, hoping to leverage a global stage — and a rare one, if you're a smaller member of the community of nations. Climate change was a central part of that. A U.N. decision to really place the topic front and center produced both a youth climate summit and a full-on event the day before leaders' addresses started. Many nations answered the call to sound an alarm potent enough to get collectively noticed.
"The challenges of planet and people are colliding with far-reaching consequences," said Belize's foreign minister, Wilfred Elrington. Yet even given that context, it felt as if a lot more hopelessness than usual was kicking around. The U.N. secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, kicked it off Tuesday in opening the proceedings, painting a bleak picture of this micromoment in human history.
"We are living in a world of disquiet," Guterres said. "A great many people fear getting trampled, thwarted, left behind," he said. "Machines take their jobs. Traffickers take their dignity. Demagogues take their rights. Warlords take their lives. Fossil fuels take their future."
Yet is this all that different from before? There have been many moments during the United Nations' 74-year history when we've been on the brink with politics, brinkmanship, displaced people, epidemics, possible nuclear war. Chaos has always reigned, right?
Not quite like this. The speakers' agenda Saturday was stocked with island nations from around the world who are, as so many of them said, on the front lines of climate change. To them, it's not merely melting glaciers or species dieoffs; it's amped-up hurricanes that could wipe them away and rising ocean waters that could slowly turn them into underwater ghosts.
So that mood? They're feeling it particularly acutely. "There is only one common homeland and one human race. There is no Planet B or viable alternative planet on which to live," said Gaston Browne, the prime minister of Antigua and Barbuda, an island nation in the Caribbean.
But other nations addressing the U.N. General Assembly were hardly sanguine about where we are as a civilization. Two of the biggest, China and Russia, were just as blunt about assessing the global landscape they saw before them.
"The world today is not a peaceful place," declared Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. "The number of conflicts on the planet has not declined and enmity has not weakened," said his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov. "It is getting harder to address these and many other challenges from year to year. The fragmentation of international community is only increasing."
As is tradition with the U.N., leaders did bring solutions to propose, from the thematic (reduce the "deficit of trust") to highly specific (overhaul the Security Council to increase Africa's permanent representation). Perhaps the most common was a renewed call for a full-throated embrace of multilateralism, which many nations — particularly smaller ones with less global oomph — see as their only salvation.
This is particularly true in an era where a growing number of high-profile leaders — prime examples include U.S. President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson — are pivoting toward more unilateral approaches to the world.
"The 2020s could be remembered in history as a turning point, or as the moment when multilateralism lost its way," Rwandan President Paul Kagame said. The United Nations is often criticized for talking a lot and not getting much done. But when it comes to eloquent talk, particularly about the future, it has always been one of the strongest players on the field.
So of course there were gems of optimism that shone among the muck — about the U.N.'s ability to shape that brighter future, about the potential for sublimating conflict in projects and agreements and resolutions and peacekeeping.
"I do not believe any more in pessimism. It's too easy," French President Emmanuel Macron said. Good words, and that's where ideas begin. Still, coming off a week of oratorical despondency from some of the smartest, most informed, most powerful people on Earth, you have to wonder: If the United Nations isn't the place for optimism about a prosperous shared future, maybe it's time to really start worrying.

Black Lightning Spinoff Painkiller Gets Backdoor Pilot Order From The CW
By Russ Burlingame - November 12, 2020 02:21 pm EST
When Black Lightning comes back to the airwaves in 2021, Jordan Callowan's Painkiller will reportedly be front and center. The character, who was originally the boyfriend of Black Lightning's daughter Jennifer Pierce (China Anne McClain), was given super powers by series big bad Tobias Whale after an injury that left the former high school sports star unable to walk. He has been through a lot in the last three seasons, even dying at one point and then being brought with no memory of his previous life. His past and those challenges have come together to make him the show's most compelling and sympathetic villain.
Now, The CW has reportedly asked the producers of Black Lightning for a backdoor pilot that would help set up a potential Painkiller spinoff. While the hope is to launch a new series, the pilot will not be a stand-alone Painkiller episode but rather an episode of Black Lightning that will air during the upcoming fourth season.
Variety, who broke the news this morning, report that Black Lightning executive producers Salim Akil and Mara Brock-Akil would also produce a potential Painkiller series, with Akil directing the episode.
Here's how Warner Bros. Television describes the spinoff, as related by Variety: "Based on characters created for DC by Tony Isabella with Eddie Newell, Painkiller follows Khalil Payne (Jordan Calloway), a young man ridden with the guilt of his troubled past from his former life in Freeland City. As a super-enhanced killing machine known as Painkiller, he was both a member of Tobias Whale's gang and a weapon of Agent Odell and the shadowy ASA. After attempting to bury the darker, devastatingly lethal Painkiller part of his persona, Khalil has distanced himself away from everyone he knows and loves in a new city, Akashic Valley, in order to find peace. But peace never comes easy for men with pasts like his. As his violent, destructive history crashes his idyllic new beginning, Khalil is thrust back into action with a new mission – bring justice where he once gave out punishment – but to do that, he will first have to deal with and harness his darker side."
Before Black Lightning, Calloway appeared on The CW's Riverdale which, like the Arrowverse series, is executive produced by Greg Berlanti.
Black Lightning was run like a stand-alone series, even being produced in Atlanta, rather than Vancouver, where the rest of Berlanti's CW series are shot. Last season, during the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" event, the worlds on which both Black Lightning and Supergirl took place were merged into the main timeline, and both characters joined a team that is essentially the Arrowverse's version of the Justice League. At the time, "Crisis" showrunner Marc Guggenheim said that the decision to join or not join both the crossover and the larger DC Unvierse that Berlanti has set up at The CW was left up to Akil. Season four, then, will be the first full season of the series set on Earth-Prime, and has, in theory, the potential to generate some crossover stories with other Arrowverse shows (The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman). That may prove difficult, though, given the soaring coronavirus infection rates and the difficulty (and required quarantine time) involved with international travel.

'Hurricane fatigue' might be settling in with 8th Gulf storm of 2020
ByCourtney Fischer
Delta is the latest storm in this busy 2020 Atlantic hurricane season to impact the Gulf Coast. And as the people in the video tell us, fatigue might be settling in.
GALVESTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Hurricane Delta, which is expected to make an impact to southeast Texas upon landfall on Friday, marks the eighth different tropical disturbance that people along the Gulf Coast have had to pay attention to this year.
2020 is, without a doubt, among the busiest Atlantic hurricane seasons on record.
While they may feel commonplace for us living in the region, emergency officials will typically tell people to be mindful of the incoming weather threat, take precautions and prepare for the worst.
In Galveston on Thursday, just before Delta's landfall mainly in Louisiana, residents and visitors to the tourist destination acknowledge there is a sort of "hurricane fatigue" settling in.
"When you have to deal with it every single day, every day without a break, it does wear you down," said Kyle Brunner, a visitor from Lake Charles, Louisiana, where people are still recovering from Hurricane Laura.

At least for one other person, the messaging is still vital.
"I think it's important for it to be taken seriously because it's so unpredictable," said Tamara Jones, another Louisiana visitor.
Still, as Stephanie Holsworth of Pearland attested, acknowledging the possible exhaustion of the season, "You kind of ignore it."
It's not just regular, everyday people who realize there's fatigue over the storms.
On Wednesday, Scott Tafuri, who serves Galveston County as emergency management coordinator, knows that it's been a very active season.
"(Delta) is the eighth storm in the Gulf of Mexico, which is really a record for us. So, we constantly talk, it feels like every week or two we talk about another tropical disturbance," Tafuri said.
Still, Tafuri and other emergency managers like him are steadfast in the message.
He added the calls for preparation that were given at the beginning of hurricane season stand true to now, with another threatening storm ready to cause damage.

Sauf imprévu, il y a maintenant de bonnes raisons d'espérer la fin des violences entre les forces gouvernementales turques et le Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan (PKK), violences qui, durant vingt-neuf ans, ont fait plus de 40 000 morts. Cest du moins le sentiment qu'exprime Amberin Zaman, correspondant à Istanbul de l'hebdomadaire britannique The Economist, sur le site du German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF). Le journaliste fonde son optimisme sur l'évolution du contexte régional, notamment en Irak et en Syrie, ainsi que sur l'action du Premier ministre Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lui-même, qui a lié son avenir politique à la réussite du processus de paix.
On May 8, rebels from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were set to begin their withdrawal from Turkey to Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq. The move announced last month by Murat Karayilan, the rebels top commander in the field, fulfils a key demand by Turkeys Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for the peace process to move forward. If all goes to plan, over 29 years of violence, which has cost over 40,000 lives, will come to a close. The ground for a historic compromise between the Turks and the Kurds will have been laid.
The most hopeful aspect of the current effort is the regional context in which it is unfolding. After decades of hostility, Turkey has embraced the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in northern Iraq in a big way. The Iraqi Kurds have vast energy reserves that can help fuel Turkish growth. A pipeline is currently under construction between the KRG and Turkey (despite stiff warnings from the central government in Baghdad.) Small quantities of Iraqi Kurdish crude are already being carried by subcontractors said to be working for the Turkish businessman and close Erdoğan ally, Ahmet Calik. In short, Ankara can no longer afford to make love with the Iraqi Kurds while making war with its own Kurdish population. Not surprisingly, the Iraqi Kurds are closely involved in the negotiations between Turkey and the PKK.
The other cause for optimism is Erdoğan himself. He has staked his political future on the success of the peace process (he wants to be elected president when the job opens next year) and is therefore unlikely to allow it to fail. Opinion polls suggest that Erdoğan commands enough popular support to be able to take the necessary risks. For instance, on May 7 Erdoğan announced the results of a recent opinion poll that gave AKP 52 percent of the national vote. More importantly, he wants to go down in history as the leader who solved Turkeys thorniest problem.
It has long been argued that dealing with Abdullah Öcalan, the imprisoned PKK leader, is necessary if the Kurdish insurgency is to be brought to an end. The government has come around to this view. Over the past few months, Turkeys national spy agency, known as MIT, has been holding secret talks with Öcalan on his prison island near Istanbul. In late December, Erdoğan went public with the news prompting widespread speculation that a watertight deal had already been struck. Why else would Erdoğan reveal that his government was talking to a man who until recently was branded a baby killer ? Subsequent developments reinforce this argument. In a landmark call in March, Öcalan declared that it was time for the guns to fall silent and for Kurds to pursue their rights through peaceful means. Not only that, he said that the Kurds had abandoned all plans for an independent state. Öcalans call for a withdrawal were conveyed by members of the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP), who are being allowed to meet with him on a regular basis. At first, Karayilan resisted, saying the Turkish parliament needed to provide guarantees that Turkish forces would not attack his men as they pulled out. Erdoğan refused, saying his verbal pledge ought to suffice. A fresh round of instructions from Öcalan prompted Karayilan to back down. He said his men would withdraw without pre-conditions and he called a ceasefire that is being mutually observed.
On the face of things, the peace process is going so smoothly some would even argue that it is almost too good to be true. The murder in January of three PKK activists in Paris failed to make a dent in it. (See Turkey and the Kurds : The Blood-Stained Path to Peace by Amberin Zaman, January 15, 2013). Nor have the left wing and nationalist groups, who continue to organize small if noisy demonstrations against reconciliation.
In some instances, members of a government-appointed council of the wise who have been touring the country to argue for the benefits of peace have been attacked. Yet, in the fiercely nationalist Black Sea region, council member Yildiray Ogur tweeted that backing for peace was so strong that locals were making plans to spend their holidays in Hakkari, a bastion of Kurdish nationalism on the Iraqi border. There have yet to be any mass protests on either side. PKK leaders assert that there is no real opposition among their ranks, and Erdoğan appears to have rallied his Justice and Development Party (AKP) behind the project despite persistent doubts, especially among nationalist elements. All of this is remarkable considering that talking to the PKK has long been equated with treason, even by Erdoğan himself. Turkeys hawkish generals are playing along. This is undoubtedly related to the fact that scores of meddlesome colleagues are now behind bars facing coup-plotting charges in the Ergenekon case. Save a clutch of shrill anti-Erdoğan outlets, the media has also lent its support. The newly dovish mood was on display last month when hundreds of Turkish journalists showed up for a press conference held by Karayilan to announce the PKKs withdrawal scheme. Until recently, interviewing PKK leaders could result in prosecution under Turkeys draconian anti-terror laws.
It was equally remarkable that during his audience with the press, Karayilan pointed the finger of blame at the PKKs long-time mentor, Iran. He claimed that a senior Iranian official had promised the rebels arms and other assistance if they kept up their battle against Turkey. (Turkey and Iran are increasingly at odds over Syria, and there is widespread speculation that Iran is bent on sabotaging the Kurdish opening). In a bizarre aside, Karayilan also claimed that the United States had a hand in the December 2011 Turkish air force raid on Kurdish smugglers on the Iraqi Turkish border, which left 34 of them (mostly teenagers) dead. He probably did so to absolve Erdoğan of any blame. Yet until the peace talks were announced, both the PKK and the BDP routinely blamed the Turkish government for the massacre. In a further twist, Karayilan took aim at Turkeys most influential Islamic movement led by the moderate Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen, who lives in self-imposed exile in rural Pennsylvania, claiming that they, too, were seeking to sabotage the peace process. The so-called Gulenists and the government made common cause against the army. But relations have soured over the past year. Erdoğan is said to be worried by the Gulenists alleged influence over the judiciary and the police force. A recent series of shake-ups in both institutions appears to be designed to weaken their grip.
Either way, the PKKs change in tone underlines a new convergence between the government and the Kurds on a broad range of issues both domestic and foreign. This is feeding accusations of a Faustian pact whereby the Kurds will support Erdoğans presidential ambition. In exchange, the government will allegedly grant the Kurds concessions that might lead to the eventual dismemberment of Turkey and allow Öcalan to walk free.
In truth, only a handful of people know what the precise nature of the alleged agreement between the government and Öcalan is. And the government continues to insist there is no deal at all. This lack of transparency is being exploited by the main opposition Republican Peoples Party (CHP) and the far-right Nationalist Action Party (MHP). They claim that the government is acting out a U.S. plan, which will result in the establishment of an independent Kurdistan.
Such claims are plainly silly. The only concession that the Kurds appear to have wrested so far is the release of several dozen activists and politicians jailed under thinly supported terror charges. Thousands of others remain behind bars. Erdoğan has made it clear that he will not act until the PKK withdraws all its fighters from Turkish soil. The Kurds demands are well known. These include greater regional autonomy, easing bans on education in the Kurdish language, and scrapping ethnic references to Turkish citizenship. These can, in theory, be addressed in the new democratic constitution Erdoğan has promised to deliver. But the ever obdurate CHP and MHP are blocking progress on a draft that is being debated in a special parliamentary commission. It seems increasingly doubtful that consensus on a final document can be reached. The most likely outcome is that AKP (with the BDPs parliamentary support) will stitch together a constitutional reform package that would address some of the Kurds grievances.
But there are other practical matters that need solving such as the fate of the PKK rebels. Will they be granted amnesty and permitted to return once they lay down their arms ? What of their leaders ? And above all, what of Öcalan ?
Karayilan and his fellow commanders insist that his prison conditions need to be improved and that eventually he must be set free. With the presidential elections just around the corner, can Erdoğan risk further alienating nationalists within his party and in the broader electorate by ceding to the Kurds demands ? The conundrum is that unless he gives the Kurds something, Öcalans credibility will begin to fade and the violence may even resume. The PKK says it will complete its withdrawal by October, before the snow begins to fall. Between now and then, Erdoğan will need to come up with a strategy that will keep both Turks and Kurds on board.

When someone passes away, the executors of the deceased person's estate will need to apply for a grant of probate. The grant of probate gives the executors the ability to collect in any money due to the deceased's estate and to pay any bills which are owed.
In some cases, this can all be very straightforward, and legal assistance will not be necessary.
However, there may be times when dealing with probate can become more complicated and you may need some help.
For example, if the estate is large and there are complex issues of inheritance tax to deal with, you may need the help of an expert lawyer. Alternatively, if there is a dispute about how the deceased's estate should be distributed, or a problem with the will, you will need legal advice.
If you are waiting for your inheritance and you are worried that probate is not being dealt with effectively, it would help you to speak to an experienced solicitor.
In some cases, you may be unhappy with the way in which a solicitor or an accountant is dealing with the probate of someone's estate.
Samuels Solicitors has been established in Barnstaple for over 25 years. We have assisted countless clients dealing with probate and have highly qualified and expert solicitors who can help you with any problems that might arise.
Even where we are not dealing with the estate, we are happy to chat with anyone who is struggling to know what to do about probate, as we understand that this can be a difficult and distressing time for loved ones and that dealing with probate can be a daunting task.

Through the kind agency of the Postulator General of the Friars Minor, we here publish some excerpts of letters of the Servant of God to his confreres and relatives which refer to Valtorta's Poem of the Man-God.
I would like for a single instant to find myself in Rome to take you by your ears and pull them very, very hard, as when the bells once used to be loosed on Holy Saturday morning! But do you know that the Poem of Jesus [sic] has detached me from my studies of Holy Scripture? And it makes me weep and laugh with joy and love. But I will not go on! I do not believe that genius could thus complete the Gospel narration: the Finger of God is here! Quite different from Formgeschichtemethode! [Form Criticism Method] I sense in this book the Gospel, or better, the intoxicating perfume of the Gospel. And I am proud that so many—not all—so many hypotheses correspond to those which I had worked out in my queer head in order to coordinate the life of the Savior. But of that I could speak only by word of mouth. This book is for me an act of Divine Mercy for the Church, for simple souls, for hearts which are evangelically children. I hope that the diligent editor will add in the last volume a fine index, at least for the proper names.
And now, dear Fr. Margiotti, since it [The Poem] is making me commit this sin of negligence toward my true duty, and since—which is worse—I have all the will to commit it entirely: be on the lookout and send me all the other volumes. And if you should find some biographical sketch of Maria Valtorta, send it to me also, because to know the witness means so much. And Norbert will pay for it; he pays for so many of my other whims, he will in outrage pay for the Poem of the Man-God !
I end now, because I want to return to the 4th volume of it...; it is irresistible: the Blessed Master—and what will it be when we see Him?
... And now I thank you for the Autobiography of Maria Valtorta, which absolutely occupies a place apart among all the autobiographies of men and women saints which I have read; like that of B. Cellini, it stands out among all other similar works of our literature.
It is painful to read what it says of her mother, and yet it seems to me that it was this intimate, continuous, torturing martyrdom which prepared Maria Valtorta for the sublime gifts of the visions and contemplations which she later received; in sum, it was this that had prepared her to be the mouthpiece of the Lord Jesus.
The language seems to me more varied and vigorous than that of the Poem of the Man-God, which also is so fresh and lively.
To sum up, dear Fr. Margiotti, I believe that you are an instrument of the Lord to make this soul known and its message—oh! a message so ample: ample as the Gospel!
I hope that the editors continue to publish all the works of this soul, virile in her humility, a soul which often makes one think of St. Catherine of Siena.
... Again, dear Fr. Margiotti, I say good-bye and pray you to stay on the lookout if ever the editor, Pisani, should print some other work of Valtorta!!!
... This morning I have finished reading the 8th volume of Maria Valtorta's The Poem of the Man-God, and I confess to you that, notwithstanding the question marks that at times arise spontaneously in my mind as a theologian and an exegete—certainly from fatigue, but I should also tell the truth—this Work has profoundly moved me. It is certain to produce in all at least this: a more lively desire to meditate on the Gospel and to make love grow for the Word of God become a Book, as Origen said.
Since several have asked me what I think of this Poem, I am considering printing in some review—perhaps The Crusade of the Gospel—a presentation.
If Holy Mother Church should have to disavow this book because it is a question of private revelations, no one will be more glad to obey than I. But if, as I think, the Church will allow it to circulate through the hands of the faithful, like the revelations of Ann Catherine Emmerich or Ven. Mary of Agreda, I think that it will do an immense good.
... I end, dear Mario, by recommending to you the reading of the voluminous but fascinating Poem of the Man-God of Maria Valtorta: Fr. Margiotti has procured it for me and Fr. Pieraccini bought it for the Library. I assure you that this work brings one near the Lord and stimulates us strongly to meditate on the Gospel: I would like to say so many other things about it, but I do not want to with paper and ink, at least for now. I embrace you fraternally.
... I would like to write to you, as you desire, so many things on O.L. [= Our Lord] seen by one who lives in your land, but time is lacking to me; either retreats or confessions seriously bind me. ... But I assure you that the Poem of the Man-God immensely surpasses any descriptions—I do not say of mine, because I do not know how to write—but of any other writer.
I rejoice so much in perceiving that this Work is loved by the Poor Lady of Caltanissetta, and especially by my dearly beloved sister, Sr. Leonie. Pray to the Madonna that there be success in translating it into English, Russian and Chinese. The Spanish version is already finished.... It is a Work that makes one grow in the knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus and His Holy Mother.
I embrace you with so much fraternal affection, and I bless you all.

Supreme Court rules to offer protection to landlords from enfranchisement
A recent Supreme Court decision has increased landlords' powers to resist tenants potentially claiming enfranchisement, explains dispute resolution law expert, Vicky Khandker.
'Claiming enfranchisement' is a tenant's right to purchase the freehold of property that they occupy provided that they meet certain criteria, as set down in the Leasehold Reform Act (LRA) 1967. The Supreme Court, in Sequent Nominees Ltd (formerly Rotrust Nominees Ltd) v Hautford Ltd [2019] UKSC 47, ruled on 30 October 2019 that a landlord had acted reasonably in refusing to grant consent to its tenant to apply for planning permission for change of use, to residential, of two floors of a six-storey building in Brewer Street, London.
This decision overturned the decisions of the County Court, High Court and Court of Appeal by a majority of three justices to two.
The 1986 lease contained a covenant that the tenant would not apply for any planning permissions without the landlord's consent. This is classed as a 'fully qualified covenant' by virtue of the additional requirement on the landlord that the consent is 'not to be unreasonably withheld'. The landlord refused permission on the basis that residential use would significantly increase the tenant's prospects of claiming enfranchisement under the LRA 1967.
The tenant rented all six storeys of the building. The observed permitted uses in terms of planning were that the basement and ground floor were retail space, the middle two floors were office/ancillary and were used in part as a staff room, all of which related to the retail use below, and the top two floors were residential.
The tenant undertook works to the building converting the middle two floors into self-contained flats for residential use, then sought permission from the landlord to apply for planning permission for change of use accordingly. When the landlord refused to give its permission, the tenant brought a claim on the grounds that the refusal was unreasonable.
Clause 3(19) of the lease required that permission be sought from the landlord before applying for planning alterations. Clause 3(11) of the lease contained a general list of permitted uses for the building as a whole, which included residential. It was on this point that Lady Arden and Lord Wilson offered dissenting views, stating that the landlord was unreasonably withholding consent since the refusal would have the effect of re-writing this clause.
However, Lord Briggs in his majority judgment explained that the lower courts had made an error of law in construing that clause 3(19) was incapable of providing protection against enfranchisement and set out his reasoning that although clause 3(11) undoubtedly created a vulnerability to enfranchisement, it was entirely reasonable for the landlord to want to protect itself against that possibility.
It must be noted that Lord Briggs made clear in his judgment that over-refining the rules in such cases was an erroneous approach and that decisions must be made by a careful analysis of the facts and by assessment of the merits of each individual case. That said, this decision undoubtedly increases a landlord's ability to act decisively to strengthen its position against the threat of enfranchisement, particularly in claims brought in relation to leases made post-1967 with full awareness of the need to protect against such eventualities.

From a recycling aspect, the whole outfit was free.

MedTech NAVIGATOR funds six ground-breaking projects
Leading NHS medtech innovation consultancy Health Enterprise East (HEE) has announced that a further six SMEs will be awarded funding under the MedTech NAVIGATOR Innovation Grant Scheme, bringing the overall value of projects supported by the scheme to over £200,000.
Supported by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and managed by HEE, the MedTech NAVIGATOR programme will now provide critical funding to Tekihealth Solutions Ltd, NS Innovations Ltd, Flush-Tech, Yourgene Health, Tangi0 and Anidium, all of which are developing ground-breaking technologies to tackle urgent healthcare priorities, ranging from COVID-19 and cancer diagnostics, to cardiology and stroke prevention.
MedTech NAVIGATOR Innovation Grants are designed to foster joint working and easier knowledge transfer between SMEs and eligible knowledge providers, such as NHS Trusts or universities. By facilitating closer collaboration between the two parties, the programme aims to enable a more efficient and seamless product development process that will significantly shorten the time it takes for new medical technologies to get to market.
The Innovation Grant awarded to Tekihealth Solutions Ltd will help fund the development of Teki-Hub, a tele-medicine device aimed at combatting the effects of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable members of society – care home residents. Connected to a lightweight wireless internet router specifically designed for remote clinical assessment, this hand-held modular diagnostic device will help the thousands of UK care home residents struggling to access video healthcare appointments due to poor IT infrastructure and limited Wi-Fi enabled equipment. Tekihealth Solutions is partnering with Connected Nottinghamshire, part of Sherwood Forest Hospital Trust, on its proof-of-concept trial, to demonstrate the life-changing potential that successful remote diagnostic consultations could have.
NS Innovations Ltd's Innovation Grant will be used to support the development of SoftPower, a rehabilitation device for elderly and partially able individuals whose ability to exercise has either been disproportionately affected by the pandemic or those still suffering from the effects of Long Covid. SoftPower can be used in bed, whilst sitting or standing, and can be configured to deliver asymmetrical resistance to suit the users' needs, providing a bespoke exercise solution to those with low or limited physical ability to exercise.
Another Innovation Grant has been awarded to Flush-Tech to help fund Flush, a project providing a drastically improved method for reducing dehydration-related illnesses and preventing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). AKI causes 100,000 deaths per year in England alone, 30% of these are estimated to be avoidable with the right care and treatment. AKI costs the NHS over £500m annually. By monitoring fluid balance automatically, Flush seeks to replace the current laborious, inconsistent, and error-prone approach to hydration management. The MedTech NAVIGATOR grant will enable Flush-Tech to collaborate with a specialist AKI Lead Nurse Practitioner and University Hospitals Southampton to further assess user needs.
The programme is also supporting a cancer care project, in the form of a Grant to Yourgene Health. The funding will go towards the development of its expansive oncology gene panel, which uses a liquid biopsy of tumour DNA circulating in blood to identify mutations in a tumour that can be targeted by an existing therapy. As well as being less invasive than tissue biopsies, this innovative form of testing aims to deliver a more tailored treatment plan for cancer patients, providing more bespoke clinical options for the 367,000 new cases of cancer each year in the UK. Yourgene Health is collaborating with the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust to conduct a market research assessment, identifying customer needs and suitable clinically relevant (tumour) targets.
In the field of stroke prevention, a MedTech NAVIGATOR Innovation Grant is being awarded to Tangi0 Ltd (trading as 'TG0') to help fund an urgently designed virtual reality (VR) based mirror therapy application using etee with the potential to dramatically improve outcomes in post-stroke patients. Rehabilitation is critical for helping the ~40% of stroke survivors left with some degree of functional impairment, yet traditional mirror therapy has reduced effectiveness in lower extremity rehabilitation compared to upper limb. Collaborating with an expert from the University of South Wales, Tangi0 aims to harness next-generation VR technology to remove these limitations, transforming the clinical options available to post-stroke patients.
Finally, Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common cause of an irregular heartbeat and a leading cause of stroke. Public Health England estimates that early detection and treatment of AF can avert one stroke in every 25 patients which can prevent 14,220 strokes within 3 years and save up to £241.6 million in England alone. It is estimated that 1.4M people have AF in England, of which 30% remain undiagnosed. Anidium Limited are developing YoHeartTM, a novel remote ECG solution and will use its Innovation Grant to support an observational study to provide the first data in patients using YoHeartTM. It will be conducted with the help of leading cardiologists at the Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust and managed by Papworth Trials Unit Collaboration.
This phase of the scheme's funding stands at £160,000, with each Innovation Grant worth up to 50 per cent of the total project costs (capped at £7,500). The next phase of grants from the total funding allocation of £300,000 will be announced in the coming months, each one supporting SMEs during early product development to encourage further innovation in areas of unmet need.
Commenting on the news, Joop Tanis, Director of MedTech Consulting at HEE, said:
"The early phases of medtech product development can be precarious, which is why tapping into the expertise available from both clinical and research settings is so important. Not only do these six winning innovations offer much-needed solutions to some of the most pressing areas of care, they also serve as a beacon of inspiration to other would-be innovators, by demonstrating that with a collaborative approach, clever ideas can indeed become a reality. We're excited to see these award-winners embark on the next stage of their development journeys and can't wait to continue to work with them as their products evolve."

What better way to enjoy soup than to add your favourite pizza ingredients to it? Make it in the crockpot or just simmer on the stovetop. The leftovers are great for lunches too.
In large skillet, heat oil over med-high heat, saute onion, garlic, mushrooms, oregano, salt and pepper until onions are soft. Add half the broth and bring to boil. Pour into slow cooker with remaining broth, ham, tomatoes and tomate paste. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Stir in green pepper and cook on high until tender, about 20 minutes. Taste before serving and add more oregano to taste if needed.
If you don't want to use the crockpot, just simmer on low on the stovetop for about an hour.
I served this with cheese-bread sticks as it seemed to go with the pizza theme. Cole liked helping to prepare and serve the soup (and even acted as a hand model in my photo, as you can see), but didn't seem to enjoy the eating of the soup so much. I don't think he was very hungry because he didn't do much justice to his cheese-bread either, and usually he likes that a lot. Bennett wasn't overly interested either. I guess it was just an 'off' day. I ate all mine and enjoyed dipping my bread in it. I packed some in their lunches the following day and it was all gone when they came home so I'm assuming they liked it. I had some the next day for lunch as well and found that the flavour had improved overnight. It reminded me a lot of minstrone soup, but without beans and pasta. I think I prefer minstrone actually, but this soup certainly wasn't bad.

Tommy's is a small and cool venue located on Keren Kayemet st in the heart of Jerusalem. The reason I found this little joint is because I happened to have stumbled upon a Facebook contest that they where holding. And I won a dinner for two at the restaurant, So the one night me and my wife had free, (literally) and went to check it out.
Tommy's is a small hole in the wall type of joint that make most of the food in house, like the salads and sides. The seating area is located outdoors but there is still an element of privacy because there are no seats on the street, mainly on the patio.
So we looked at the menu, and it really emphasized the name of the place" sophisticated street food". Everything they serve has a little twist and isn't your run of the mill fast food joint. The menu is composed mainly of grilled meats, but also have different types of dishes on their specials menu. The chef also made it clear that they cook their hamburgers on the flattop, and that got me excited!
After browsing the menu and talking to the chef about what to order, we ordered a hot pullet salad(pargiyot) salad, an entricote hamburger, for the sides we ordered a blooming onion that's made in-house, and sweet potato fries with pink lemonade.
Because i'm a gentelmen I'll start with what my wife ordered. The pargiyot saladwas really good. It wasn't your run of the mill salad with just chicken and vegetable, it came with bulgar, arugula, sweet potato, and the chicken itself stood out by being packed with flavor. One of the better salads I've had at a fast food restaurant. The entricote burger was done like I asked, medium. It was very juicy and full of meaty goodness. I asked for some coleslaw on the side and it made the burger taste even better. The sides were a bit dissapionting though. The blooming onion was a mess and very hard to eat and lacked seasoning. The sweet potato fries weren't crispy, it needed to be fried twice like a pomme fritte otherwise it just gets soggy, like in our case. what really rounded out the meal was the pink lemonade that was perfectly mixed and had a great balance between sweet and sour like a good lemonade should have.
All in all it was a very good experience and you will find me returning there to enjoy another meal. but trying different things too!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports employment among nurses will grow faster than the average for all occupations. Demand for quality nurses continues to escalate. Much faster-than-average growth will be driven by technological advances in patient care, which permit a greater number of medical problems to be treated, and by an increasing emphasis on preventive care. In addition, the number of older people, who are much more likely than younger people to need nursing care, is projected to grow rapidly. More and more sophisticated procedures, once performed only in hospitals, are being performed in physicians' offices and in outpatient care centers, such as freestanding ambulatory surgical and emergency centers. Accordingly, employment is expected to grow much faster than average in these places as health care in general expands.
Hospital nursing is just one of the many areas where nurses practice. Examples of other practice settings include home care, private practice, public health, extended care centers, clinics, offices, schools, military service, corporations, health-related industries, hospice, occupational settings, and health and wellness centers. The profession of nursing offers a wide variety of specialties. From pediatrics to geriatrics, nursing impact is felt across the lifespan. Here is a sampling of specialty areas from which you can choose: Ambulatory care, Burn care, Developmental disabilities, Emergency, Geriatrics, Home care, Intensive care unit (cardiovascular, medical, neonatal and surgical), Medical telemetry, Mother/baby care, Oncology, Operating room, Pediatrics, Psychiatric nursing, Recovery, Rehabilitation, Renal (diabetes and dialysis), Research, School nursing.
Nursing school requires a high school diploma and a sound academic standing in English, algebra, chemistry, biology and psychology. An understanding of computers and technology is a great asset. Leadership and organizational skills are equally important. You will do well in nursing if you can combine these skills and characteristics with a commitment to easing human suffering and a capacity to respond quickly in emergency situations.
Getting along with people and good communications skills also are important since nurses relate to people from all backgrounds. The nursing courses include classroom instruction and supervised clinical hands-on experience in health care settings. Students need good study habits and the ability to analyze and think through problems to be successful in nursing school. At the end of the nursing program, graduates must pass the state board licensure examination to become licensed as a registered nurse. When studying, nursing is organized into four branches.
During the first year of your course you will be introduced to these as part of the Common Foundation Program. In the second and third years you will focus on the branch you choose. Adult nurses are primarily concerned with nursing sick and injured adults back to health in both hospital and community settings. What makes adult nursing such a challenge is the sheer diversity of situations you will have to respond to.
You will be working with people who have acute and long-term illnesses. The mark of the professional is the ability to observe and assess what is happening with a patient at any one time and to select the most effective response. It's a demanding job with serious responsibility.
In return, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you make a real difference in reducing suffering and promoting the health of people in your care. Children's nurses care for sick children and provide support to their families. Children's nursing can take you from intensive care of a new-born baby with breathing problems to looking after a six-foot-tall adolescent whose leg has been broken in a soccer match. The onset of symptoms can be sudden and extreme. Because children are still growing, the impact of the illness or injury on their development has to be taken into account.
A rich mix of emotions often surrounds child illness such as panic, anxiety, anger, powerlessness, guilt. Children's nurses work closely with patients' families as part of the caring process. Mental Health Nurses care for people with mental health problems in hospitals and in the community, helping patients to overcome their ill health, or to come to terms with it, so they can lead as normal a life as possible. The one-to-one personal relationships that mental health nurses form with people are at the heart of the care process. Mental Health Nurses have to identify if and when a person may be at risk of harming themselves or others.
You'll therefore find yourself liaising professionally with a wide range of other services including social workers, police, charities, local government and housing officials. As a mental health nurse you are likely to be dealing with people of all ages and from a wide range of backgrounds. As your career develops you may choose to specialize in areas such as drugs and alcohol misuse or working with offenders. You could also become involved in education, research, or management roles. Learning Disability Nurses work with people with learning disabilities to help them become as independent as possible.
People with a learning disability can struggle to cope with aspects of everyday, independent living. The distinctive contribution of learning disability nurses is their concern to influence behaviors and lifestyles that promote health and well-being for individuals, and their families and careers. You will be working in a wide variety of settings: people's homes, their family homes, residential care, schools, workplaces and leisure. As your career unfolds you can maintain this broad spread of activity, or you could choose to specialize in an area such as sensory disability, education, or management of learning disability services. The main challenge is to remain constantly sensitive and alert in how you relate to people, helped by new technology tools such as sensory stimulation and interactive learning systems. Adaptability and resourcefulness in very varied work settings becomes second nature.
Progress can be slow, but seemingly small things do mean a great deal. You are increasing people self-confidence and sense of worth, and enabling them to share more fully in the challenges and pleasures of living. Today's nurses can now be found in professional venues once thought impossible.
Nurses influence legislation, change health care delivery systems, write and publish, educate about disease prevention and health promotion, and participate on boards of directors.

Q: Add content to second page with mpdf I'm using https://github.com/kartik-v/yii2-mpdf to create PDFs in Yii2. I have my first page, but I need to add a page break and make sure that I start the second piece of information on a fresh page. I'm unsure how to do this. I have tried:
    public function actionReports()

  $data = date('d F Y',time());
  $content = $this->renderPartial('_billing', [
    'model' => $data,
  ]);

  $doc = new Pdf([
    // set to use core fonts only
    'mode' => Pdf::MODE_UTF8,
    // A4 paper format
    'format' => Pdf::FORMAT_A4,
    // portrait orientation
    'orientation' => Pdf::ORIENT_PORTRAIT,
    // stream to browser inline
    'destination' => Pdf::DEST_BROWSER,
    // your html content input
    'content' => $content,
  ]);

  return $doc->render();
}

View
use yii\helpers\Html;

?>

  <?= Html::img(\Yii::getAlias('@web') .  '/images/c.png'); ?>

Quarterly Billing Summary

<?= $model; ?>

<pagebreak/>

The <pagebreak/> doesn't seem to render a 2nd page?

A: $invoice_nos = ['0' => $html, '1' => $html, '2' => $html];

$this->mpdf= new mPDF('TH','A4');
$this->mpdf->defaultheaderfontsize=12;
$this->mpdf->defaultheaderfontstyle='B';
$this->mpdf->defaultheaderline=0;
$this->mpdf->setFooter($footer);
$this->mpdf->SetHeader('Bill | | Pages {PAGENO} of {nb}');

 $this->mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
}

$this->mpdf->defaultfooterline=0;
$this->mpdf->Output();
$this->mpdf->Output('.date('Y-m-d').'.pdf','F');

A: Try simply creating a view with both page and adding
"<pagebreak/>" in view where you need this will create page break

is more simple respect to manage two page..
This is from http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php?tid=108
You can force a page break anywhere in the document either by using HTML code or PHP:
$mpdf->AddPage();

<pagebreak />

The term "package" can mean different things in different file transfer situations.
"Installation package" – A file that contains all the executables, installation scripts and other data needed to install a particular application. This file is usually a compressed file and is often a self-extracting compressed file.
"Package sent to another person" – Very similar in scope to email's "message with attachments". This is a term that has rapidly gained acceptance (since about 2008) to describe what gets sent in "person-to-person" transmission. A package may contain zero or more files and a plain or richly formatted text message as its payload. A package will also always contain system-specific metadata such as sender/receiver identity, access control attributes, time-to-live information and quality of service information.
"Installation package" is the earlier context of the term "package" ; if you're dealing with server teams or transmission specialists who deal primarily with system-to-system transfers then "installation package" is probably what they mean when they say "package".
"Package sent to another person" has evolved as file transfer vendors gradually align the terminology of person-to-person file transfers with physical parcel transfers like those done by UPS or FedEx. In physical parcel transfers, individual packages may contain a variety of things but each is specifically addressed, guaranteed to be delivered safely and intact and each has its own level of service (e.g., 2nd day vs. overnight). The term "packages" is similarly used with many person-to-person file transfer solutions to help non-technical people understand the concept in a different context.

Living in the city of your dreams comes at a cost, literally and figuratively.
The city you live in has a big impact on your dating pool, but would you be willing to sacrifice love for the life of your dreams?
Over 1,000 people have been asked what they would give up to live in their dream city, and it turns out the answer is a lot.
Nearly one in four have broken up with a partner so they can live in their dream city, with Gen Xers most likely to end a relationship at 24%, followed by 21% of baby boomers , according to a survey conducted by Cinch Home Services.
When it comes to dream cities, respondents ranked culture, entertainment options, green spaces and outdoor activities, job opportunities, and a warm climate as the most important features a city has. should have.
We apologize, but this video failed to load.
The most popular dream cities in the United States were New York, San Diego, Los Angeles, Denver, San Francisco, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, Colorado Springs and Austin.
Among those who want to live the dream, almost half (47.8%) of respondents would dip into their savings, 45.6% would only go out one evening a week, 36.4% would live on cheap food, 36, 1% would give up vacation days for extra money, and 35.4% would have a second job.
Others would also incur credit card debt, have no car, sleep on an air mattress, share a room with a roommate and steal toilet paper from work.
In all of these sacrifices, who has the time – or, in many cases, the money – to date?

Coming home to a guy who's locked in a bachelor pad with a roommate sounds pretty dreadful, as does finding Miss Right – who's only available one night a week.
While there is something to be said for taking a risk and achieving a dream city, dreams and realities are almost never the same.
Living in a more affordable city in order to save on housing costs and avoid depleting savings and dipping into retirement plans might sound boring, but if it means the difference between really really living and just existing, practicality might not be such a bad thing.
The survey of 1,067 Americans is considered accurate to within 3% on a 95% confidence interval.

Name Change Awareness
"Gilda's Club" doesn't say it anymore.
Posted: November 27, 2012 11:21 PM
There is always some risk in changing an organization's name, especially when that organization is as deeply rooted in a particular name as Gilda's Club. But in this case we get it, and we support it, and we believe more people will be served as a result of the name change.
For as much as the original supporters of Gilda's Club believed in and valued the connection to the late comedian Gilda Radner, who died of cancer in the late 80's, too many people are unaware of Radner or her connection to cancer. As a result they may not seek the services Gilda's Club was created to provide, and has provided well, and that's a shame.
So the newly named Cancer Support Community makes sense and should make the support and education and wellness activities available to more cancer patients and their families. And that's a wonderful tribute to the actress whose legacy will live on in its own right.
