New advice for Brits threatened with repossession
A new advice service has been introduced that will aim to help individuals around the UK who are at risk of losing their home due to debt management problems, it has been announced.
The UK Insolvency Helpline claims to offer independent and confidential advice and more of its resources are now set to be focussed on helping people threatened with repossession.
According to the helpline, the move to focus on repossession has come because of the anticipated increase during 2008 in the number of homeowners finding their debt problems impossible to manage.
"Its never too late to act, the service had already stopped hundreds of repossessions even where the caller has been within days of being evicted," said Ian Boden Smyth, a spokesperson for the service.
Meanwhile, Peter Beckett, business development director with iammoving.com, recently suggested that using unsecured debt to fund a housing deposit could be a very risky financial strategy.

Fake golf clubs trader from Rainham must return �1m or head back to prison
By Court Reporter
Published: 6:00 PM September 23, 2011 Updated: 12:08 PM October 13, 2020
�A Rainham businessman who pocketed a fortune by selling fake branded golf clubs on eBay was ordered to pay back �1million or face five more years behind bars.
Gary Bellchambers, 47, known as "The Big Man", was jailed for four years and three months in March last year after he admitted masterminding the international scam.
His Thailand-based gang of British ex-pats – the self-styled "Rogues" – flooded the auction website with knock-off versions of big-brand golf equipment, netting millions in illegal profits.
Bogus clubs were manufactured in China, shipped to the UK for as little as �3 apiece and sold to customers worldwide for up to �100.
The scam only came to light when Essex pensioner Christine Manz complained to Havering Council about a club she had bought.
An award-winning council investigation, codenamed "Augusta" after the world-famous American golf course, revealed the astonishing scale of the illegal trade.
Bellchambers, of Dunedin Road, was back in the dock at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday for a confiscation hearing in his case.
The hearing had been scheduled to last for up to three weeks, with both prosecution and defence expected to present evidence in a bid to establish the true extent of his wealth.
But in an 11th hour deal with the authorities, Bellchambers agreed that his available realisable assets amounted to �998,638.95.
Judge Jacqueline Beech gave Bellchambers four months to pay that amount or face an extra five years of jail time in default.
The businessman's total agreed benefit from the scam was set at �1,668,607.04, but the lower sum represents the money which is now available to him.
The judge also ordered him to pay �250,000 towards the costs of the prosecution.
Tracy Ayling, QC, representing Bellchambers, asked for six months for her client to pay the money, as a large part of his assets is made up of property in Thailand.
But Judge Beech told the defendant: "You are an intelligent man with great business acumen.
"I am sure you have many contacts in Thailand who will be able to help you liquidise your assets to meet the terms of this order."
Bellchambers pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to sell or distribute goods bearing signs likely to be mistaken for a registered trademark as well as two counts of unauthorised use of trademark.

The Black Swan actress Mila Kunis have called it quits between her 8 year relationship with the Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin.
It's a very strange time for this to happen. Especially now that Mila is getting a lot of recognition from her most recent film, Black Swan.
Reports say that the couple have broken up several months ago but decided to keep it quiet while Kunis promoted Black Swan.
Kunis representative told the New York Post "The split was amicable, and they remain close friends,"
Kunis and Culkin began dating in early 2002 and never spoke too openly about their long-term relationship.
A lot of people on Twitter are shocked and not by the fact that the two have called it quits but because they just found out the two were even dating, and for so long! Funny? Yeah, we guess so.

This article is about christianmatchmaker. If you ever wanted to find out more about dating Christians from around the World, this is for you. Read more of christianmatchmaker:
How to Match a Christian to a Woman's Religion: Christian Matchmakers
I was going to write a bit more, but after doing so much research and reading so many articles on the internet, I had to cut the topic short. Instead of trying to teach you how to find a Christian woman, I've decided to show you how to match a Muslim woman with a Christian man. This guide is designed to help you figure out what your options are for meeting and marrying a woman who is a Muslim. This is by no means a comprehensive guide to Muslim women, just some afrointro of the most common and popular ones. If you're new to Islam and you want to know what's out there, this article is the first step towards that.
How to Find a Muslim Woman to Date, Marry, and Keep
If you want to find a Muslim woman to date and have children with, I recommend doing so with a local Muslim community. The community will be more likely to understand your desires, your values, and your culture, and they'll have many more chat hispano en usa opportunities for you to interact.
There are several communities online that you can start with. I personally use Islam-Online and have also linked to these communities on a number of my other articles. They are highly recommended, especially if you're going to find yourself in a foreign country. They can also be helpful when you're traveling, since they're more used to speaking the language and they're in a country where Muslims are a majority.
Also, keep in mind that dating a Muslim woman may require an extra commitment and a bit of diligence. If you think that's a big deal, just think about how many other women are out there who are afraid to date or just don't have the same sense of commitment to what they believe. It's not just you, it's other women out there too. It's not like you can be an atheist or a skeptic and date a Muslim woman. One other important thing to realize about Muslim women is that it is very important to treat them like human beings, even if you know them to be the devil incarnate. It takes a lot of courage for a Muslim woman to take the risk www buscando pareja of dating a Christian, because they may think you're too shallow and that you don't understand their religion and have only known it from a TV show or some other media. However, it's ok to date an atheist, because filipinocupid com log in you won't be able to make their faith into a religion. That's how good relationships work, even if you don't believe that there is a god. Also, you might be surprised by the number of people who date a Christian man because he's so awesome at football. It's not that they're attracted to him because he has a Christian-related past, it's that they think he's one of the most awesome guys they've ever had the chance to date. But yeah, it's important to understand that even if you date a Muslim woman, you are still dating a human being. It doesn't have to be your girlfriend, your wife, your best friend, or even your best friend's girlfriend.
In fact, I'm not sure that there are any Christian women you should date, if you don't want to be around them. Because I've read so many comments where people are thinking, "Oh, I can only date one Christian woman." That's a good thing. But not a good idea, because you never know when that man you're dating will suddenly become Christian, and suddenly you will have to put on amor en linea app a mask. It can't hurt to put it on, you know, so it doesn't bother me. Just keep in mind that your date will be more likely to have a Christian-related past if you date them. And don't think this is a Christian dating thing, because there are Christian dating sites out there. I don't know about you, but I want to date a Christian girl who is not a prostitute, because I think that's more wholesome. I can totally understand someone who is dating a Christian girl because they have a religious upbringing that they want to protect from the outside world. That's all fine. But I don't really think it's okay to date someone who you think will be promiscuous and use drugs and alcohol. I think that makes the whole thing a little dangerous. And I'm not saying that I think she's promiscuous, but that she's certainly an asshole. I mean, she's a whore, but her lifestyle is really cool, right? That's not all right, though, because she doesn't seem to know how to say no to sex. And, you know, she probably has a girlfriend, so it's not like she's just gonna say "no" and be on her way. It's kind of like if you met someone who just kept coming to citas de mujeres the party, you can't just say "nah" and walk away and run off without even thinking about it. The only thing that I can think of, is if she 's just not that into it. And I know, that I'm not exactly a "no-sugar-coating" type of person. I don't believe that people shouldn't drink, and I don't think it's good to smoke. I trinidad chatroom can live with that, and I would certainly prefer not to. But what the hell, if you've been going out with a chick and she just refuses to date someone that she's dating, she might not be into you at all. So what I think you should do, is to just be honest with yourself and ask yourself "are you in the right with her?" Then, just go from there. That way, you can avoid any trouble down the line, and still be happy.

ENGLISH FOOTBALL PARTY IN MADRID
It is known as the biggest match in European club football and the world had its eyes in Madrid when the UEFA Champions League Final between Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur took place in the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid on June 1st.
Thousands of fans were gathering at the hotspots of Madrid to experience the flair and the atmosphere of the UCL Final. And so did we! Central point of all GAZPROM fan activities took place in the Gazprom House of Champions at the UEFA Champions Festival, located on Plaza Mayor in the heart of Madrid. Fans could create their own Champions GIF in the Champions GIF tunnel, commentate a goal from their team from the semi-finals in the Gazprom super commentator or show the strength of their voice in the Gazprom Dribbling challenge.
Of course, we also raffled some last-minute tickets to the FINAL and therefor changed the lives of 6 lucky fans.
Apart from numerous football fans several football legends such as Andrey Arshavin, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, Ricardo Carvalho or Célia Šašić visited the Gazprom hotspots on the UEFA Champions Festival. Right next to the House of Champions, the Final of Football for Friendship tournament, took place.
But you could feel the flair of the UCL Final also almost everywhere in the city of Madrid. Several influencers such as Freekickerz, the F2Freestylers or Gena Miller produced excited content about their experiences around the FINAL with Gazprom.
But the biggest moments of the night happened of course in the Final game itself where Liverpool FC crowned themselves Champions of Europe in 2:0 a win against the Spurs. It became a long night for all Reds fans: You could hear "You'll never walk alone" more than just a few times in the streets of Madrid.


I hope to have the video posted of it on my You Tube Channel soon!

Q: Derivative of function with Heaviside Function In attempting to get the differential equation given a transfer function, I need to take through the third derivative of $r(t) = 5t^2 \, u(t)$, where $u(t)$ is the Heaviside function. If I "ignore" the $u(t)$, I can easily get the derivatives ($r'(t)=10 \, t \, u(t)$, $r''(t) = 10 \, u(t)$, $r'''(t)=0$). However, if I consider the $u(t)$, my first derivative becomes $r'(t)=5 \, t^2 \, \delta(t) + 10 \, t \, u(t)$, where $\delta(t)$ is the Dirac Delta Function.
Do I need to consider $u(t)$ when taking the derivative? If so, then what is the derivative of the Dirac Delta Function that I would use to get the second derivative?
Thanks for the help!

A: If it's a Heaviside of $u(t) = 0 $ at $ t < 0 $ and $ u(t) = 1 $ at $ t >= 0 $
then it seems to only make physical sense if you ignore the discontinuity below $ t = 0 $ .
In effect this means ignoring the terms with $ u'(t), u''(t) ... $ etc.

Problematic: 10 fights made Adrien Broner a star, but what have they proven?
Adrien Broner has a big name, but what has he really shown us between the ropes in his 10 fights on premium cable? Mostly troubling limitations, and there's not much he can prove in his next fight, either.
By Scott Christ@scblh1 Sep 3, 2014, 7:15pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Problematic: 10 fights made Adrien Broner a star, but what have they proven?
It's hard to imagine, but Adrien Broner was once a regular nobody in the pro boxing world. A little over six years ago, he made his pro debut at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in his hometown of Cincinnati, knocking out Allante Davis in 32 seconds. The world didn't know, nor did it care.
Davis went on to fight four more times, never making it out of the second round, compiling a career record of 0-5 from 2008 to 2010. Broner, however, went on to become one of the most famous and infamous names in boxing, three years later making his debut on HBO, and eventually becoming a three-weight world champion, a huge indictment of boxing's current belt system, which hands out rewards as often as it does crown anyone legitimate.
Broner, now 25, is still a very young man in this game, but the questions have mounted over the 10 fights he's had on HBO and now Showtime in the last three years. Boxing media, fans, pundits, and observers are all very susceptible to buying into a manager's or promoter's hype, or a TV network's, and Broner benefited hugely from all of those. With Al Haymon backing his play, Golden Boy Promotions hosting his events, and both of the premium cable outlets pushing him to the moon, many of us believed in the idea of there being a "new" Floyd Mayweather in town, a dynamic talent with superstar potential.
Time has revealed, however, that Broner is far from another Floyd Mayweather. Though he appears to have studied Mayweather's mannerisms, accidental catchphrases, and speech patterns to an obsessive, stalker-like degree, his imitation shoulder roll has made him look more like Wes Ferguson than his "big brother," and his opposition has mostly inspired indifference, occasionally giving us the cold, hard reality that Broner is quite possibly closer to normal than he is great.
Broner's debut on HBO in 2011 was hyped as the coming of a new star. At 130 pounds, he faced Daniel Ponce De Leon, a rugged former 122-pound champion, slow and plodding, with wide punches and poor defense. Ponce De Leon was a quality fighter, but one that should have been easy work for what we were led to believe Broner was in the ring.
Ponce De Leon wound up with an argument for the win in that 10-round fight, though judges saw it 96-94 twice for Broner, plus an absurd 99-91 card from judge Tony Crebs. The struggle of that bout took a lot of the shine off of Broner, who was an unknown outside of the boasting of himself, his team, and the HBO commentators. But boxing fans and pundits have short memories, too, and were willing to forgive. Ponce De Leon, after all, is a southpaw with an awkward style.
Jason Litzau was called in next to give Broner a chance to look more spectacular, and the Minnesota club fighter did his job, stopped in 2:58 to mark Broner's return to HBO three months later. This time, Broner's vaunted hand speed and power showed up, and the flashiness that was supposed to be his calling card was present. Against an easier opponent, Broner looked excellent.
His first world title came in November 2011, when Martin Rodriguez of Argentina faced Broner for the vacant WBO super featherweight title. This was a gift, more or less, as Rodriguez was not a serious contender, facing a bunch of stiffs on the way to a No. 6 ranking by the WBO, as silly as most sanctioning body rankings, which reward a lot of things, merit and achievement not at the top of that list.
Broner predictably trounced the overmatched Rodriguez in three rounds, once again on HBO, with the network telling us that it was something special. It wasn't. It was a guy with talent beating up a guy without it. His next two fights were the same story. Eloy Perez was drafted in next. Though Perez was a favorite of some boxing writers, who perhaps fell in love with him watching him in gyms, he, too, was grossly out of his depth, hammered inside of four rounds, and hasn't fought since.
Vicente Escobedo was next. Broner missed weight -- quite obnoxiously, at that -- and Escobedo threatened to call off the fight before Haymon stepped in and saved it with a money offer that Escobedo could not refuse. With a pretty huge size advantage, and lacking the burden of having to actually make weight, Broner beat down yet another fringe contender, stopping a gutsy Escobedo in five rounds.
With his days at 130 behind him, Broner moved up to 135 and targeted Antonio DeMarco for a November 2012 bout. DeMarco held the WBC lightweight title at the time, and had just thrashed John Molina in 44 seconds on September 8. DeMarco wanted Broner, and the fight was put together.
Short memories came into play once again, with most of us quite guilty of overrating DeMarco's pedigree and achievements. We had forgotten his days scraping past the likes of Reyes Sanchez and Anges Adjaho, in part because not as many people saw those fights as witnessed his inspiring rally TKO over Jorge Linares, or the smashing of Molina.
Broner does deserve credit, however, for dominating DeMarco entirely, much the same way that Edwin Valero had in 2010. Valero stopped DeMarco after nine rounds, while Broner put him away inside of eight, neither of them having any trouble with the tough but limited Mexican fighter, who gave his all in each of those bouts, but was outclassed.
This was Broner's best win to date, and quite frankly, it's still his best win. A defense with undersized and underskilled Gavin Rees came next, Broner again manhandling a physical inferior. Rees came to fight, as he always has, and gave Broner some interesting looks early, before Adrien turned on the switch and put him away with ease.
That was Broner's last fight on HBO, as the network split away from Al Haymon and Golden Boy Promotions, leading Broner to a fight on Showtime against Paulie Malignaggi in June 2013. Broner skipped the 140-pound division to challenge for Malignaggi's WBA welterweight title at the Barclays Center, and won another disputed decision, this time a split that many felt Malignaggi should have won.
That's eight fights. Broner was 8-0 in those fights, and could easily have been 6-2. The theme of them was clear: when faced with easy opponents who matched up favorably stylistically, Broner could look great.
When faced with capable opponents, guys who didn't give Broner anything, and reduced him to more of a one-punch-at-a-time fighter, Broner didn't look so special after all. It's not as if Daniel Ponce De Leon in 2011 or Paulie Malignaggi in 2013 were world class, elite-level fighters, either. Both were solid second-tier guys in their divisions. One would expect the "next Mayweather" to wipe out such foes. Broner did not.
And then came Marcos Maidana.
The reason we got Mayweather-Maidana in May 2014 is simple: Maidana made the case to face Floyd and picked up huge buzz but beating Adrien Broner in December 2013, flooring the arrogant pugilist twice en route to a humbling, fairly dominant decision win. Broner looked positively lost at times against Maidana, who was not only capable like Malignaggi and Ponce De Leon, but physically strong enough to hurt him. Maidana's relentless barrage of offensive shook Broner mentally and physically, and Adrien was never in serious danger of winning the fight, though breath was held worldwide before the scores were announced and rightly awarded the fight to Maidana.
The immediate reaction was one of joy, for the most part. Broner's out of ring antics and overbearing character had made him one of the most easy to hate fighters in the sport. That was largely by design, but unlike Floyd Mayweather, who had made himself the best fighter in the world before completely "going heel" with the Money Mayweather idea in 2007, Broner had never really proven anything.
A comeback fight with Carlos Molina (the bad one) was scheduled for May 2014, and Broner spent the full 10 rounds toying with another opponent who never had a prayer of beating him. Nobody was particularly impressed, other than guys like Brian Kenny and Richard Schaefer.
That's a lot of words to say something very simple: Adrien Broner has not yet proven himself worthy of the status that he thinks he deserves. Three world title belts? Forget them. None of them meant a thing. One was decent (DeMarco), one was gift-wrapped (Rodriguez), and one was arguably stolen (Malignaggi). Adrien Broner has made one serious title defense with those three belts, and Marcos Maidana frankly embarrassed him. The three belts are press release material, nothing more.
Broner (28-1, 22 KO) returns this Saturday night on Showtime. He's back in Cincinnati for the first time since his win over Escobedo, coming home a bigger name, sure, but is he any better? Do his career prospects actually look brighter?
Zab Judah was once Exhibit A of a fighter that people overrated, and hand speed is a trait that media and fans seem to fall in love with too easily. Gary Russell Jr may be another fighter whose overall talents have been overestimated thanks to wins over weak opposition and pretty combinations against those sorry foes. Broner doesn't even really have the in-ring flash of Judah or Russell, but has made up for that by talking. A lot. All the time. And burning money in the bathroom at Popeye's. And having a sex tape "leaked." And everything else one could possibly do, really.
Emmanuel Taylor (18-2, 12 KO) is Broner's opponent this weekend. A competent but unremarkable fighter, Taylor is a 23-year-old battler from Maryland, another guy on the outskirts of being an actual contender. In March of this year, he lost to Chris Algieri in New York, setting up Algieri's upset of Ruslan Provodnikov, and his November date with Manny Pacquiao. He followed that with a fairly sluggish July 18 win over Karim Mayfield, a fight in which neither guy looked much like a serious player at 140.
Taylor didn't controversially lose to Algieri. He was beaten cleanly. And he didn't dominate Mayfield. He got off the canvas and edged past him. He's not coming in hot. He's just coming in.
So can Broner prove much on Saturday? Not really. Taylor isn't good enough that he should trouble Broner, and if he does, then it's time to wonder even more about how good Broner actually is, and if there's really much there at all. This is the same level of opponent he's been beating for years now, and with due criticism about their quality. All Adrien Broner can really do on Saturday is raise more doubts. To get real credit, he has to face a real contender. He's done it a few times, and it hasn't gone so well.

Q: Can I return a DataTable to fill an ASP.NET AJAX Client Template? The following Server-Side code works:
[OperationContract]
public IEnumerable<object> GetBooks() {
    var people = new List<object>
                     {
                        new Book{ Author="Richard Preston", Title="The Hot Zone"},
                        new Book{ Author="Jim Norton", Title="I Hate Your Guts"}
                     };
    return people.AsEnumerable();
}

Here is a portion of the Client-Side code:

            Author
            Title

            {{Author}}
            {{Title}}

function pageLoad() {
    $create(Sys.UI.DataView, { serviceUri: "MyService.svc", query: "GetBooks" }, {}, {}, $get("bookListView"));
}

I'd like to be able to return a DataTable to the client, and populate the client template by simply referencing each column's name. Is that possible?

A: Delayed answer, but yes -- I think what you are missing is class="sys-template" on the bookListView tbody.


This educational adventure captures all that is wild and wonderful in Sydney: sun-washed beaches, lofty bridges and towers, and the mysterious enclaves of the Rocks historic district. A knowledgeable guide teaches your students about the colonial history, flora, fauna and iconic sites of the city, while also organising all the behind-the-scenes details, leaving you free to enjoy your time with your students. A tour of the world-famous Sydney Opera House lets you appreciate the genius behind its architecture, and an optional live performance at The Sydney Theatre Company underscores the magic of this unforgettable city.
We make it easy for you – we plan everything!
Arrival: Welcome to Sydney! On arrival you are greeted by your local guide, a "Sydneysider" with an intimate knowledge of Sydney's best-loved sites. She gives you an orientation and you will be transferred to your accommodation.
Central Accommodation: Your hostel is located right in 'The Rocks'—the historic district where Sydney began. Built above archaeological remnants of colonial Sydney, this hostel combines state-of-the-art facilities with a unique heritage experience of Sydney. All rooms have ensuites and a/c, and there are spacious communal areas, internet, on-site grocery store, coffee bar and large rooftop terrace with spectacular views directly to the Sydney Opera House.
Walking Tour: With your guide you learn about the cultural, historic and natural sites of Sydney as you follow in the steps of colonists and convicts. Tracing cobblestone paths and narrow laneways, you learn where scandals emerged and history happened.
Royal Botanic Gardens & Special Plants: The Royal Botanic Gardens occupy one of Sydney's most spectacular positions, and are considered to be one of the great botanic gardens of the world. With your guide you learn of plants that were significant to Aboriginal people, such as plants that were good for making mats, fishing nets, sweet drinks and cold medicine. You can also discover the Herb Garden, The Fernery, a formal rose garden, Succulent Garden, the Oriental Garden and a section dedicated to rare and threatened plants of the world.
Aboriginal Culture in the City: Later with an Aboriginal guide you trace a circuit through an area once inhabited by clans of the Indigenous Eora Nation. An enthusiastic Aboriginal tour guide provides an in-depth explanation of the Aboriginal history of Sydney Harbour and surrounds and in particular, the significance of this special reserve. Although the reserve lies in the shadow of Sydney's skyline, you weave among a mosaic of plants and herbs used by Aboriginal people, like a sweet and salty plant that also eases foot blisters, one that's used for damper and for weaving fishing bags. Your guide illustrates the beliefs of his people through the telling of stories and you learn the significance of this land to those living here thousands of years before European settlers.
Sydney Opera House: You finish your walking tour at the most recognizable building in the world – the Sydney Opera House! Your visit to Sydney will not be complete without a photo in front of this majestic building, and your guide takes you to the perfect lookout.
Barracks Museum: Created for convicts by convicts, the Barracks Museum is a World Heritage site and a creative way to learn more about Sydney's colonial history. Try on convicts' clothes and leg irons, listen to the tales of unsavoury characters, and swing in one of the reconstructed dormitory hammocks as you learn about life among thieves, traitors and tricksters.
Art Gallery of NSW: Paintings and sculptures by the European greats like Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh decorate the halls of The Art Gallery of NSW, established in 1871, along with works from respected Australians like John Brack and Aboriginal artist Tommy McRae.
Art Workshop: Here you participate in a practical workshop that seeks to develop your students' creativity and understanding of visual arts. An artist, educator or art historian (your choice), all of whom have a connection to the works, leads the workshop and engages you in lively dialogue whilst encouraging questions. You learn to interpret art, and you extend your discussion through drawing and observational sketching in front of the works. You may like to choose a theme for your students and focus on a particular collection within the gallery including Australian art, Aboriginal art, photography, contemporary art or Asian art or you could suggest a topic of your own.
Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon Lookout: Sydney Harbour Bridge is the city's second most famous icon, and this afternoon you climb the 200 stairs to the Pylon summit. First you are taken through 3 levels of exhibits where you learn the history of the construction of the bridge and the men who designed and built it, finishing at a perch 87 metres above sea level with panoramic views across Sydney Harbour.
Sydney Observatory: This evening you don special 3-D glasses to watch a mind-blowing space film, and then in the planetarium you learn more about the universe: which dwarf galaxies you can see with the naked eye, what stars are closest to us, and how Aboriginal people made pictures using the negative space in the sky. Later with the giant telescope, you are also able to look closely at the twinkles of star clusters, red giants, nebulae where stars are being born, globular clusters, and distant galaxies. If viewing through the telescopes is not possible due to sky conditions, a fun beanbag planetarium session is provided instead.
TV Studio Tour: This morning you get a behind-the-scenes look at ABC tv station with real producers, production people and actors. Best-loved Australian tv shows are filmed here! You visit one of the television production studios, an on-air radio studio, a news studio and the control room for a behind-the-scenes look at an Australian tv station.
Chinese Friendship Gardens and Chinatown: From Darling Harbour your guide takes you on a stroll through Chinatown, teaching you about the Chinese contribution to Sydney's culture. Blazing neon signs and savoury yum cha restaurants have replaced the smoky opium dens and gambling lairs of the past, and your time here is a discovery of the senses. At the Chinese Friendship Gardens you can cross the "zig zag" bridge to an ornate rock forest, sip tea in the traditional teahouse, or pose for photos by a waterfall in a classic costume of an emperor, princess or warrior (photo is extra cost).
This area is also home to Paddy's Markets–once a bustling fresh produce market, it is now the place to grab a bargain with clothes, music, jewelry and lots of souvenirs to take home.
Your dinner tonight is a traditional meal in Chinatown.
Sydney Harbour National Park: As you traverse the Harbour, your guide gives you insight about the famous sites and landmarks. You cruise over to Sydney Harbour National Park and soak in the million dollar cliff side views from The Gap, followed by an optional lunch at Doyle's famous fish and chips!
Cockatoo Island: Next your guide introduces you to the famed Cockatoo Island, a UNESCO World-Heritage site in the middle of Sydney Harbour and a significant location for shipbuilding and convict history. As you explore the island's geography and discover both the machines and physical evidence on display, you can put historical events in context and better understand the past.
Australian Museum & Aboriginal Culture: This is the oldest museum in the country, with an international reputation in the fields of natural history and anthropology. Here you can wander the famous "Skeletons" exhibit, inspect specimens of large Australian wildlife as well as notorious Australian insects and spiders, roam the Dinosaurs room, and examine gemstones, rocks and minerals of Australia. In addition, Aboriginal culture comes to life when a museum educator introduces you to Aboriginal tools, boomerangs, canoes and other artifacts as well as a collection of oil paintings and water colours.
Sydney Theatre Company Tour: The heritage-listed Wharf building on iconic Sydney Harbour is home to the busy Sydney Theatre Company and features a mix of new plays by Australian playwrights, new international works, classic plays and new adaptations of classic plays. You enjoy a guided behind-the-scenes tour of where it all happens: set building, scenery painting, creation of costumes and props, and stage plays.
Optional Performance & Meet The Director, Cast and Crew (extra cost of $45 per student): If you time your visit for one of these special performances, you can listen to the director of the play describe his/her ideas and work, watch the performance, and then afterwards have an enlightening Q & A session with the cast and crew. This is a truly unique opportunity to learn from some of Australia's greatest directors and actors!
Optional Urban Challenge: If you have an afternoon flight, you can choose to spend the morning souvenir shopping, or participating in Small World Journeys' Urban Challenge! (no extra cost) The Urban Challenge is a fun team-building exercise that allows students to learn more about the history, art and culture of Sydney. Small team groups compete against time in this treasure hunt-type activity in Sydney's Rocks historic district. This is a popular activity for students and the winning team gets a prize!
Transfer and Depart: Later you are transferred to the Sydney airport for your flight home.

Question 2: When is the best time to visit Sydney?
Answer: Sydney has a temperate climate. Summer is warm temperatures at 18-25 degrees celsius/64- 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters are mild, with average temperatures at 8-16 degrees Celsius/46-60 degrees Fahrenheit. Rainfall is spread throughout the year.
Question 3: What happens if a student cancels?
Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens: With a guide, students discover the Royal Botanic Gardens – one of the world's most significant botanical gardens and the oldest scientific institution in Australia. Here students go beyond just identifying plants; they learn more about the importance of biodiversity, protection of rare and threatened species, and why the 'dinosaur tree' is one of the greatest botanical discoveries of our time.
Evolution and Adaptation of Australian Plants: During this visit, students use fossils and plant materials to record observations about extinct and extant Australian native plants. With a guide students also observe the living relatives southern conifer forests of the middle to late Cretaceous period and the broad-leaved rainforests of the early Tertiary period. Students learn about the discovery and classification of the Wollemi pine and study the pollination adaptations of Australian native plants.
Bush Foods: During this visit, students learn about the different types of traditional foods eaten by Aboriginal people and the different methods used to collect and process traditional bush foods. In addition, students learn about the traditional diet of Aboriginal people and to appreciate and value the wide variety of foods available in Australia and the contributions from a wide range of cultures. A highlight is tasting a selection of bush foods and assisting in the preparation of recipes that have been adapted to include native ingredients.
Sydney Hyde Park Barracks Museum: A visit to the Hyde Park Barracks Museum brings to life the early days of Australia the colony, where orphans, female Irish immigrants and insalubrious criminals all waited for their new lives to begin. With plenty of hands-on exhibits, the museum takes students on a discovery of the artifacts, tools, stories and voices of the past. Students can swing in the hammocks of the re-created dormitory, see treasures that have been saved by rats (they pulled them under the boards for their nests!) and hear the tales of life in the barracks. There is even a database in which students can search for convict ancestors.
Prosper or Perish: This program at the Hyde Park Barracks will contextualise the Industrial Revolution as a cause for the movement of people to Australia between 1820-1850. Students will analyse a wide range of source material relating to the experiences of convicts and female immigrants during the 19th century, identify different perspectives and empathise with the actions and values of people in this historical period. Students will also work as historians, using maps, paintings, newspapers and personal diaries to discover how Sydney changed between 1820-1850, and take part in an investigation that combines archaeological artifacts with archival records.
Tour with an Artist: During this visit, students connect with artists and artworks on display through the eyes of a professional artist. Students learn about where artists begin, their art practice and inspirations, finding a dealer, selling work and how they become part of private and public collections.
Tour with an Educator: During this visit, students are shown the gallery by a teacher-educator with at least two years of classroom experience. This is the perfect choice for organizers who wish to connect their classroom learning to the gallery's current collection.
Tour with an Art Historian: During this visit, students follow an art historian and discover the stories behind the works, the society in which they were made and how they came into the collection.
Sydney Observatory: perched on a hill in the centre of the city, holds historical significance as a place of star study, and is now a dedicated public observatory and museum. Intriguing meteorological instruments, massive telescopes including a hydrogen-alpha solar telescope, and a fun 3-D space theatre make this a fascinating discovery of the sky for students of all ages. Inside the Observatory's digital planetarium, students are oriented to the southern sky and constellations, where an astronomer also teaches about quirks of our galaxy and nearby stars. A research-grade computerised telescope permits students to follow the evolutionary path of stars by searching for star-forming nebulae, main sequence stars including binaries, post main sequence red giants, planetary nebulae and white dwarfs (weather permitting).
Physics, space, cosmic engine and astrophysics students have much to gain with a visit to the Observatory. Open and globular cluster viewing is perfect for HR Diagram discussion. HSC physics worksheets are available on request and lunar photography opportunities for smart phone users.
The Australian Museum: The Australian Museum is the oldest museum in the country, and it holds a highly respected collection of vertebrate and invertebrate zoology, as well as mineralogy, paleontology, and anthropology. In the museum, students also hear from Aboriginal people about canoe making in NSW, explore creation stories and whale ceremonies from the NSW South Coast and see ceremonial costumes and dance masks from the Torres Strait which accompany stories about spirituality and culture. There are a host of specialized tours that can be tailored to your educational objectives.
Chinatown and Friendship Gardens: With a guide students tour the Chinese Gardens and the Chinatown precinct, in the process learning of the significance of Sydney's Chinese population and culture. As one of the country's minority majorities, the Chinese community in Australia has played a major role in shaping the country's immigration policies. As a symbol of friendship between Sydney and Guangzhou, the walled Chinese Gardens boast an oasis of waterfalls, hidden pathways, pagodas, koi ponds, exotic plants and bizarrely shaped rock formations. Here students wander the wild gardens whilst appreciating the Taoist principles of "yin-yang" and qi that were carefully taken into account by meticulous landscape architects.
Sydney Theatre Company and Performance: Students gain insight into professional theatre–both behind the scenes and on the stage—with a visit to the Sydney Theatre Company. At the famed Wharf 4, Australian stars such as Toni Collette, Geoffrey Rush and Cate Blanchett cultivated their careers. This is also where students witness how sets are constructed, costumes are created and lighting is delicately balanced to deliver illusion and entertainment.
Meet The Director, Cast and Crew: If you time your visit for one of the special performances (held about once a month), students can add depth to their theatre experience. They experience the power of a live theatre performance at either one of the Wharf Theatres or The Sydney Opera House. This is dramatic art at the highest calibre, and a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students. Both drama students and English students can explore themes of loyalty and betrayal, existentialism and love versus lust in such plays as Shakespeare's Hamlet starring Geoffrey Rush to Samuel Beckett's Endgame starring Hugo Weaving to Chekov's The Present starring Cate Blanchett. Meeting the director, cast and crew presents a chance for students to more closely examine and question performance styles, symbolism and direction.
Sydney Urban Challenge: This activity is designed to teach students more about Sydney's colonial and Aboriginal history whilst encouraging them to work as a team. Taking place entirely in the historic Rocks district, this urban challenge leads students through backstreets and alleyways, among statues and artefacts, discovering clues about Sydney's past up through the 20th century.

Dumbell Nebula
Like the others of its type, M27 is a bubble of gas that has been ejected by a star at the end if its life. This twin-lobed nebula is the most spectacular planetery.
The Dumbbell Nebula (also known as Apple Core Nebula, Messier 27, M 27, or NGC 6853) is a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula, at a distance of about 1,360 light years.
There are no stars brighter than 4th magnitude in this constellation. The brightest star in Vulpecula is ? Vulpeculae, a magnitude 4.44m red giant at a distance of 297 light-years.
Two well-known deep-sky objects can be found in Vulpecula. The Dumbbell Nebula (M27), is a large, bright planetary nebula which was discovered by the French astronomer Charles Messier in 1764 as the very first object of its kind. It can be seen with good binoculars in a dark sky location, appearing as a dimly glowing disk approximately 6 arcminutes in diameter. A telescope reveals its double-lobed shape, similar to that of an hourglass.


Physical Data: fp 61 °C; bp 50-55 °C/20 mmHg, 68-79 °C/70 mmHg; d 1.403 g cm-3.
Solubility: sol benzene, THF, etc.
Handling, Storage, and Precautions: toxic, lachrymator, corrosive, reacts with moisture; refrigerate and store under nitrogen; should be handled in a fume hood.
Addition-Cleavage Reactions: N-Unsubstituted Amides and Ureas.
Grignard reagents add to reagent (1) to afford mixed imides.11 These compounds may then be cleaved either reductively or hydrolytically at the chloromethyl-substituted carbonyl to give primary amides (eq 1).
Condensation of (1) with photopyridones (b-lactams, eq 2)13 gave N-chloracetylcarbamoyl derivatives. Treatment of these compounds with Triethylamine in methanol gave the all-cis-1,2,3-trisubstituted cyclobutanes, whereas treatment with sodium methoxide in methanol afforded the trans,trans-cyclobutanes. The latter class of compounds provides an intermediate for the synthesis of oxetanosyl N-glycosides.

A cross-section of candidates writing JAMB Exams
JAMB fixes new date for sale of forms
byAzeezat Adedigba
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has fixed a date for the commencement of the sale of the 2018 application forms.
The board said the sale and registration for all candidates including those from foreign countries will hold from December 6 to February 6, 2018.
The spokesperson of the board, Fabian Benjamin, said this in an interaction with PREMIUM TIMES Sunday evening.
He said registration fee is N5,000 while an additional N500 will be paid to obtain a compulsory reading text "IN DEPENDENCE" for UTME candidates and "The Last Days at Forcados High School" for direct entry candidates.
According to the board, candidates who are interested in the mock examination are advised to register before December 31.
"The MOCK examination shall commence from Monday 22 to Wednesday 24 January, 2018 and the CBT Centres are allowed to collect, through their bank accounts, a separate ₦700 for this exercise from interested candidates after notification of centre has been received by
the candidate."
PREMIUM TIMES had earlier reported how the board postponed the date for the sale of 2018 application forms due to the delay in meeting the agreed deadline by the publisher of the compulsory text meant for prospective candidates.
The board had also proposed March 9 to 17, 2018 as the date for the examination.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, is a Nigerian entrance examination board for tertiary-level institutions.
The board is charged with the responsibility to administer similar examinations for applicants to Nigerian public and private universities, monotechnics, polytechnics and colleges of education. All of these candidates must have obtained the West Africa School Certificate, now West Africa Examinations Council, WAEC, or its equivalent, National Examination Council, NECO.

Gresley caretaker managers Carl Slater and John Williamson once again had to dig deep into the club's reserve side to make up a squad for the long journey to Cleethorpes. Included in that squad were two 18-year-old players, the only substitutes available.
Playing 4 at the back 5 in midfield and one up front, Gresley held Cleethorpes for the whole of the first half with some battling defending.
However, after just 5 minutes Cleethorpes went close to opening the scoring with a shot across the face of Gresley's goal.
On 19 minutes a cross from the left by Paul Walker should have seen the home side take the lead but a header from a good position went over the bar.
Josh Batty then tested Gresley keeper Oliver Fairbrother with a header which went straight at the keeper's midriff.
On 39 minutes Slater had to leave the pitch with an injury being replaced by Harry Heartfield.
Despite Cleethorpes' pressure Gresley were holding out and continued to do so until the halftime whistle.
Gresley had the first chance of the second half after 2 minutes but Eric Graves' burst into the area ended with a shot straight at home keeper Theo Richardson.
All the good work from Gresley so far was undone with two quick goals. A needless free kick on the left by Cameron Steele gave Alex Flett the opportunity to swing over a ball to the back post where Paul Walker rose unchallenged to head the first goal home.
Cleethorpes doubled their advantage 6 minutes later when another cross from the left was half parried by Fairbrother for the waiting Josh Batty to side foot home from close in.
Gresley were still defending well but with players physically tiring and running with knocks, they were forced into a change with Myles Botfield replacing the hobbling Josh Garland who had looked quite dangerous alongside Kane Lee.
The best goal of the game came on 63 minutes from a quick break. Gresley had been putting the Cleethorpes defence under some pressure but the ball was cleared and a good run down the left saw Brody Robertson cut in before slipping the ball past Fairbrother.
Gresley went close when Steele was pushed forward. His shot from the right across the Cleethorpes goal was pushed away by Richardson but amazingly the referee Mr Jones gave a goal kick making the keeper smile.
The slight change of formation began to give Gresley a glimmer of hope. Lee slid a superb ball to his right to Steele, but the final shot was straight at Richardson.
That was the final chance for Gresley but Cleethorpes still looked as if they could add more to their tally. Lewis Collins brought out a good save from Fairbrother forcing the young keeper to tio his well struck shot over the bar. From the resultant corner, Fairbrother was called on again to make a save at his near post.
The game ended with home substitute Jack Boswell seeing his shot from the left sliding past the far post with Fairbrother beaten.


I like the definition that critical thinking is, "disciplined thinking that is clear, rational, open-minded, and informed by evidence." What does this mean? Let's break it down into pieces.
First, to be disciplined in our thinking means that we do not allow our speculation to wander around, we think about a topic in a systematic way. Second, rational thinking is when we allow logic and the facts steer our thinking. Now, I am a huge proponent of allowing your intuition (your gut feelings) to play a role in guiding you, but I will caution you: if you allow your feelings to steer your thoughts and you are not suitably aware of what those emotions are telling you and why, you may reach a conclusion about an idea that has no basis in reality. Third, we must be open-minded. I cannot say this in any more simple way: question everything. Look for evidence that disagrees with what you think. It is very easy for us to look for information that supports what we believe, what we want to be true, yet ignore facts that contradict our viewpoint. This is called confirmation bias. Finally our thinking should be informed by evidence. What is evidence? Our dictionary reference tell us that the legal system considers evidence to be, "data presented to a court or jury in proof of the facts in issue and which may include the testimony of witnesses, records, documents, or objects." I like to think of evidence as things that we can prove through experimentation, through experience, or through research.
Many times in your life you will come across "facts" that end up being incorrect. This is where the open mindedness becomes critical; if you are confronted with rational evidence that was obtained in a disciplined way and it contradicts what you already believe to be true, you must keep an open mind and explore it. You don't need to jump ship and believe the new information just because it seems as though its better; you need to examine it, evaluate how the author or scientist came to his or her conclusion and see how it fits with what you have already learned. An open mind is perhaps on of the most challenging things to maintain when we try to be critical thinkers. Like the quote from the great cosmologist Carl Sagan we began with, this is no easy task. To hold two or more seemingly contrary ideas in mind and evaluate them to ascertain where the truth lies is a difficult task. It takes practice, discipline, and the understanding that what is objectively true often lies somewhere between the ideas.
Let's do our own experiment. Let's contrast a myth (an unprovable explanation) of creation with a theory (an explanation supported by falsifiable evidence) of human evolution. In this case I would like to take a creation myth of the Quiché tribe of Guatemala. I've read and heard this story in a few different ways, and I will tell it to you in my own way. You can find several versions with a quick Google search.
In the beginning there was nothing except for Tepeu and the feathered serpent, Gucumatz. They sat together and anything they though came into being. They thought the sun and the moon, the earth and the planets, they thought the land and the sea, and the animals and the fishes. They thought men of clay, but these creations fell apart when they thought of rain. So the gods sent a flood to wipe out the clay beings. Then with the help of the mountain lion, the raven, and the coyote they thought of a pair of men and a pair of women. These people pleased the gods and became the parents of all Quiché.
It is human nature to use our large brains to explore why, how, and what our world is all about. Primitive people who did not have the benefit of the wealth of science we now know to be factual tried to understand how and why they came into being. In the absence of evidence we make up stories that serve to explain what we believe to be the case. This is perfectly normal. What we must realize though is that as our access to facts increases we must remain open to adjusting what we believe to be true.
The current thinking among cosmologists is that our universe sprang into existence approximately 13.5 Billion years ago (give or take a few hundred thousand years). That current hypothesis is that the whole universe was condensed into a small, hot ball of energy and matter that was held together by tremendous gravitational forces (this is referred to as a singularity). Eventually the matter and energy were compressed to the point that they overcame the force of gravity and exploded outward in what has been called "The Big Bang." Why do we say that the universe is 13.5-13.7 Billion Years old? Using the science of physics we can determine based upon wave lengths of light how far away light that is reaching us emanated from. Our current best understanding is that light from the edge of the known universe is approximately 13.7 Billion light years away. A light year is a measure of distance, how far light can travel in a year, and is approximately 9.5 Trillion kilometers (or 5.9 Trillion miles). Put another way the sun is approximately 93 Million miles from the earth and the light from the sun takes just under eight and a half minutes to reach us.Why didn't the Quiché make up a story that reflected this idea? Echoing an idea of Richards Dawkins, we are limited by our geography.
Human beings like us think in a world where rocks are solid, gravity effects how we are able to move around and over objects, and where time is measured by the light and dark cycles of our planet spinning on its axis and by the change of seasons as our planet makes one full revolution around the sun. We are not "wired" (we did not evolve the neural connections) to comprehend just how far away the sun is, let alone the speed of light. That's why cosmology (along with many other sciences) is the realm of scientists who can use the abstract language of mathematics to express themselves. We simply don't have the ability to visualize these ideas, and neither did our ancestors. If I ask you to imagine how long it will take you to walk ten miles you will be unlikely to be able to do it unless you have one of two things, experience or mathematics. I know how long it will likely take me to walk ten miles because I have done it many times and with a vague idea about the terrain and the weather I will likely come up with an estimate that is fairly accurate. In the same way if I told you that a thirteen year old boy who is reasonably healthy will walk about 2.7 miles per hour you could do some simple division and find that it will take you around three hours and forty minutes. However to actually go and test your idea (experiment) you would need a known distance course, and a reliable watch. If I simply sent you out to walk for three hours and forty minutes across a barren landscape with nothing to judge time but the sun it is unlikely that you would maintain a constant pace or cover the prescribed distance. Again, we just don't have the mental faculties to estimate these things without experience.
For our friends the Quiché, and for countless other people who have created myths to explain how the world works it is reasonable to say that they were doing the best they could with the knowledge, skills, and tools they had. We are the beneficiaries of (at least) two hundred thousand years of human evolution and fifteen thousand years of culture and language. We must learn from the mass of this accumulated knowledge while always keeping our minds open for new information and testing the ideas and beliefs we have to see if they fit with reality.

THE LEVANT – By Gordon Duff – Never has a group been more secretive, more "capable," even to the point of violating physical laws. They have money when there is no money; they have fuel when there is no fuel. They get floods of new recruits when all borders are sealed, even refugees detained but ISIS/ISIL fighters move like magic.
The divergent reporting on ISIS/ISIL itself is telling. Controlled media, as is now always the case, ignored the obvious questions, instead seemingly tasked with maintaining an endless drone of Iranian nuclear plots while the world burns down around them.
More recently, our Turkish friends say they are helpless, though they expect to soon have a radical nuclear jihadist state on their border they claim antipathy for. No one believes Turkey, no sane person at least. Even American vice president Joe Biden cited Turkey as a major source for ISIS/ISIL aid, aid that is ever increasing as is the flow of money as well. The axis, Tel Aviv, Qatar, Ankara and Riyadh, and, we must include the banks of Zurich and London and the back rooms of Washington as well, is this why ISIS/ISIL is so secretive?
In January, I met with Sunni leaders to discuss the defense of Iraq, in particular Anbar and Baghdad. Without violating security protocols, I would be reasonable to assume that I left days of meetings with the impression that there was a general belief among Sunni governors that Baghdad had no standing army and no intention of opposing ISIS/ISIL.
Other things were said as well, over optimism on behalf of some that ISIS/ISIL could be worked with. There was always, however, an overriding belief that Iraq could survive, that clever men would use ISIS/ISIL to redress political inequities in Iraq's American made monstrosity of a government and yet retain a national identity.
A solution was proposed, experts were consulted. You see, Iraq was left without an air force. Supposedly, the US had retrained an army the equal of any. That simply was a lie also. That money, over $1 trillion was stolen, all in banks, mostly the Cayman Islands.
American politicians, American and British "contractors" got some. "Others" split the rest as they had done with billions in oil revenue since 2003 when the US began stealing 40% of the oil shipped through Basra and Ceyhan. Everyone knew, you could simply trace the ships and their capacity through the online site of the US Coast Guard and compare figures with revenue. A child could do the math, that and the fact that the American who oversaw Iraq's oil industry was my Pentagon contact at one time and close friend.
But we are talking about "blindness." Armies have to eat, have ammunition, gasoline but today armies have to have "eyes and ears." Iraq had none, American had blinded them. ISIS/ISIL, however, is far from blind. That's another story.
I was there to offer "eyes and ears." While we sat through 74 slides, translating my commentary into Arabic as we went, it was outlined how satellites with 1 meter SAR (synthetic aperture radar) passing over every 6 hours, combined with aerostats, tethered balloons with cameras and sensors capable of seeing hundreds of miles, specially equipped OCULUS planes and Skyships, a secret development the US now uses for defense, could be put online in 56 days.
This would connect to intelligence fusion centers and provide minute by minute tracking of ISIS/ISIL movements, stop the influx of arms and cash, of jihadists, and paralyze their military operations. The presentation, beginning with "Top Secret/No Distribution" sits on my desktop. I wrote it.
The companies involved were US, some Arab financed, some even Israeli, all with a strong track record. The price was high, tens of millions of dollars and crews and equipment were "on tarmac" because of the emergency situation.
Then, weeks later, we learned that something different had been chosen, that Iraq had taken this offering and had gone to Lockheed and Raytheon, two prime US contractors, who were to provide similar services, though in some areas they had no access to key technologies. The dollar figure was twenty times higher.
Without this equipment, the training teams, the advisors and scientists, Iraq would be not only blind, but their military could be crushed by any group that had what Iraq didn't have, military grade satellite imagery, surveillance drones, ground sensors and signals jamming and intercept capability, the things Iraq was offered, things ISIS/ISIL has had all along, things they should never have, not unless they are directly supported by either the US or Israel.
In the end, the deal, many many billions, was signed but nothing was ever delivered.
At the same time as the meetings with the Sunni leaders, other meetings were going on in Kurdistan. The Kurds knew they had a war coming. Turkey had been negotiating with their long-time enemies, the PKK, also the long-time enemies of the Kurdish government in Arbil as well. There was something very wrong, very sinister in this.
Kurds, longtime friends of the US, friends "sold down the river" by the US more than once, knew a "storm was coming." They contacted their old friends in the US, their contacts at the major defense companies, US and UK, that coordinated intelligence operations in Northern Iraq, people who are longtime friends of mine.
The Kurds demanded help, help that never came.
I have worked with the Kurds, with the people of Iraq, many Americans have. Iraq is and was a complex nation, Baathists, Sunni groups based on complex interwoven family relations, a series of Christian sects with complex relationships almost 2000 years old, this and a Shia majority long abused during Saddam's rule.
Iraq should be seen through the eyes of its people, a nation destroyed by the US, a nation trying to rebuild infrastructure, commercial life and restore a survivable balance that may well have prevented what we see now.
America's insanity of the Bush years, 3 proposed false flag terror attacks that were to lead to an invasion of Iran, all made public by former National Security Council member and Veterans Today editor, Gwyneth Todd, still scars Iraq. General Petraeus and his "Sunni Awakening," American millions spent to buy off extremist elements, is the basis for ISIS/ISIL.
It is not unsound to assume that Petraeus built ISIS/ISIL as leverage the US was to maintain over Baghdad, leverage to assure the US a platform for operations against Iran. This was his job; this was what America had to leave in place before being booted out of Iraq.
Has it "backfired" or is everything working exactly as intended? We see that Turkey is not concerned. Israel is not concerned. America's bombing campaign, supposedly up to 1500 sorties a day, is now up to 5% of expected levels.
Money and jihadists are flowing in, through where and how nobody knows. Egypt? Israel? Turkey?
The Iraqi army, supposedly divisions of top level fighters trained to NATO levels, are not to be found. The American ISR (Intelligence/Surveillance/Reconnaissance) and intelligence fusion capabilities that were to guide Iraq to a successful defense are not to be seen. The real "deliverable" capabilities were derailed, most likely through the US State Department, a very good guess. There seemed to be a desire to keep Iraq defenseless against ISIS/ISIL.

Good afternoon everyone, it is now Monday afternoon for me, I had a somewhat busy weekend. Friday was Dawson's end of year presentation and I as always went thankfully it was held in the morning and I was able to go and do food shopping afterwards and on Saturday I went and did other shopping and paid my layby's and such.
On Thursday just pasted I went to the appointment with the specialist over at the hospital and got no bloody answers, it is too soon to tell what is really causing the tremor although the doctor has prescribed medication that may help control it this I will pick up this afternoon or tomorrow morning. The chemist I see didn't stock it and had to order it in so that is why I am late getting it and starting it.
This morning I had to go and have three teeth filled cost us $897 for three fillings and I still need two more done next week. I don't handle seeing the dentist well, for many years now I find after the stuff they inject to numb you up wears off I start to feel unwell and get a headache and don't feel like doing much.
Over the weekend Natasha started to move a lot of her stuff in her bed is here now but the fridge, washing machine a lounge and some other stuff is still at her place her dad will move the fridge tomorrow along with the washing machine. She isn't keeping the washing machine she is just going to move it out of her house and leave it on the side of the road someone will claim it, her fridge is coming here though.
Seems I will not be having Blain here this week, since his dad and Kelli found out that I let him use his Xbox while grounded, so he is going to Jessica's place. Yesterday I was feeling betrayed this was because I felt that Kelli shouldn't had been snooping around the bedroom and she could had said something to me instead of telling his dad, also I was accused of encouraging Blain to lie to his dad and yeah I get that it seemed that way. I did tell Blain not to volunteer the information about using the Xbox, I did say don't lie if asked but if not asked don't say anything.
Also I heard from Jessica that I would not be having Blain not from Jono or Kelli or even Natasha but Jessica, Jessica went on and on about how I can't be trusted to discipline the child and how I let him do stuff he wasn't allowed to do. I have always been soft when it comes to discipline this is not new, also Kelli told me that I am not to ask for her help again I assume she means with Blain so I won't.
So yesterday I was in a right mood, I snapped at Jessica, I snapped at Tim and I felt like I had been punched in the gut, not that I have ever been punched in the gut so really don't know how that feels but you get my meaning. Kelli said she doesn't know if Jono will forgive me but you know what if he does he does if he doesn't he doesn't, I am not going to tie myself up in knots stressing over it, I can't change what has happened. It is what it is, was I wrong yeah I was, this I know.
Sometimes we do things we shouldn't do, but we can't go back and change anything and what's the point in holding grudges and stressing over stuff, Jessica said yesterday that I hold grudges, who the hell is she thinking of, being pissed off for an hour or so isn't holding a grudge, it's being pissed off for a bit that is all, by the afternoon I was over it and had moved on.
I don't know why it does it just does, even many adults are quick to blame and I wonder what it is that we are afraid of that makes us want to blame someone else for things that go wrong in our own lives. Not that blaming ourselves is ok either as at times we are quick to put ourselves down and that type of blaming is not good.
I know when my girls were little I use to tell them that I would not always take the word of one child over another without investigating more, meaning don't come and dob on your sister for no reason or to just get them into trouble as I will not stand for it. Blain and Leo have a habit of dobbing on each other just to get the other one in trouble, ok have to be honest Blain does it a bit more then Leo does. Leo seems to have a bit more empathy then Blain does.
I agree that there are cases when telling on someone is the right thing to do but we as parents and adults have to teach our young when it is right to tell and when it isn't, we also need to teach them that when they do something wrong they will be punished and the punishment will be just, I have never been a fan of telling a child you are grounded till I say other wise, ok it is ok to say that in the heat of the moment but once we have had time to calm down we should spell out to the child what their punishment is and for how long, we don't lock up people without telling them for how long, you can't throw someone in jail saying they will stay their till you say otherwise, they have to be given a time frame and I think the same applies for children when we ground a child we should say how long they are grounded for.
I feel that often now days children/teenagers commit offences and when they get arrested and go to court nothing happens they get let off sometimes with a fine they don't pay or community service which they don't do and this happens over and over again or they blame not having a stable home for their behaviour over and over again and that is a cope out. There is no accepting what they did was wrong,instead they just blame someone else and as such do not learn to deal with things.
When we blame others all the time we don't learn how to deal, to accept we screwed up and how to move on from that and not screw up again.
Yes when I was younger and I would say drop a glass and break it I would automatically say look what you made me do, when in fact no one made me do it, it just happened, now that I am older I don't stress over things like a broke glass or a split drink. I no longer feel the need to blame someone else for things that happen, I can accept it happened it may have been my fault it may not have been but really what is more important is how I deal with what has gone wrong.
I had to take Leo to school this morning then I had to go to the Dept of Housing to hand in the forms applying for Natasha and Blain to live here, then I had to go back to Kmart to return a pair of light weight harem type pants. Yesterday I bought a pair after trying them on but then decided I didn't want the ones I tried on instead I would get the pinkish ones and of course I didn't check them I just pick them up the size on the hanger was 14 when I got home I realised they were only a size 12, so I had to go back and exchange them for the right size. I also had to return a Lego set that Jessica had bought for Leo that I already bought at the start of the year for half what she paid for it.
Oh yeah yesterday when I went to pay for my goods at Kmart I discovered that I was missing the $50 gift card Kathy gave me for my birthday, I was somewhat upset, on the Saturday Leo had been playing with my phone and a bunch of cards fell out and I think the Kmart card was amongst them. I rang my mum and her and Dawson went and searched the area Leo said they fell out as well as around the house and Dawson even checked the rubbish bin but no luck couldn't find it. Jessica said she would replace it but at the time I was somewhat upset, I was lucky I had other money to pay for the stuff with.
On Saturday we had a party for my parents 55th Wedding Anniversary at their house so they didn't have to worry about driving anywhere and mum could have a few drinks, I was up at 6.30am cooking and took over most of the food. My brother also prepared some food his awesome chicken and his fettuccine dish.
There was a good turn out pretty much all that were invited turned up except for my mothers brothers and their families and none of my sister Sue's children were able to make it, but all in all it was a good day and mum and dad were surprised which is what I wanted. I of course did all the planning for the day and thus I was happy that it all turned out ok.
Thankfully Saturday was a nice day weather wise after Friday which was in the mid 40's Saturday's nice 23°c was just that nice. No rain either although around 2pm it started to get a bit cold but that was ok by then people were leaving and mum and dad could go inside and chill.
I want to get the Christmas decoration out and start decorating the house, wanted to do it today but didn't get around to it so hopefully tomorrow I will do it, I also have to go through my stock pile of presents and see what I have.

Q: Angular  provided through ng-template & ngTemplateOutlet is not part of surrounding NgForm I have a reusable component for an editable form. This component contains a <form> element. Inside that form, a template provided from another component, one containing an <input> element, is inserted. That <input> element does not become part of the NgForm in the reusable component. When editing the <input>, its dirty/pristine and valid/invalid properties are updated, but the form's are not.
Here is the simplified reusable component:
@Component({
  selector: 'editable-form',
  template: `
<ng-template #dialogTemplate>

Edit {{title}}

Current {{title}}

    <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="displayTemplate"></ng-container>

    <form #dialogForm="ngForm" novalidate (ngSumbit)="submit()">

New {{title}}

      <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="editTemplate"></ng-container>

        Form valid: {{dialogForm.form.valid}}

        Form dirty: {{dialogForm.form.dirty}}

        <button type="submit" [disabled]="!dialogForm.form.valid || !dialogForm.form.dirty">Submit</button>
        <button type="button" (click)="close()">Close</button>

    </form>

</ng-template>

{{title}}

<ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="displayTemplate"></ng-container>

<ng-container *ngIf="showForm">
  <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="dialogTemplate"></ng-container>
</ng-container>`
})
export class EditableFormComponent {
  @Input() title: string;
  @ContentChild('displayTemplate', { static: true }) displayTemplate: TemplateRef<ElementRef>;
  @ContentChild('editTemplate', { static: true }) editTemplate: TemplateRef<ElementRef>;
  @Output() onSubmit = new EventEmitter();
  showForm: boolean = true;

  open() { this.showForm = true; }
  close() { this.showForm = false; }
  submit() { this.onSubmit.next(); }
}

And here is a component that uses it:
@Component({
  selector: 'edit-name',
  template: `
<editable-form title="Name" (onSubmit)="save()">
  <ng-template #displayTemplate>

{{name}}

Not Set

  </ng-template>

  <ng-template #editTemplate>
    <input [(ngModel)]="newName" #newNameInput
           name="newName"
           id="newName"
           required
           ngbAutofocus>

      Control valid: {{newNameInput.className.includes('ng-valid')}}

      Control dirty: {{newNameInput.className.includes('ng-dirty')}}

  </ng-template>
</editable-form>`
})
export class EditNameComponent {
  name: string;
  newName: string;

  save() { this.name = this.newName; }
}

I have tried providing the ControlContainer through viewProviders, providing the ControlContainer through a directive, including the form components in the templates through a shared service, providing the templates through ContentChild versus through Input with them not inside the <editable-form> element..
None of those techniques seem to work with ng-template, only if the form elements are included under the <form> via a component.
I'm stumped. I just need the inputs I pass in to the reusable component to be part of the <form> declared in the reusable component.
