UNITED NATIONS CONCILIATION COMMISSION FOR PALESTINE
RELATIONS BETWEEN
THE CONCILIATION COMMISSION
AND UNRWA
Analysis of Relevant Texts of Assembly Resolutions
(Working paper prepared by the Secretariat)
A. "Facilitating" reintegration
1. In view of the resolutions passed by the General Assembly in December 1950 (See Annex), it seems desirable to define more clearly some of the relative functions of the Conciliation Commission and UNRWA in order to ensure the most friendly and fruitful co-operation between the two organisations.
2. Paragraph 2 of the resolution of 14 December 1950 (A/1754) directs the Conciliation Commission to establish all Office which, under the direction of the Commission, shall
(a) make arrangements for the assessment and payment of compensation to refugees, and
(b) work out practicable arrangements for the implementation of the other objectives of paragraph 11 of the General Assembly resolution of 11 December 1948.
Paramount among these "other objectives" is the Commission's task of facilitating the "repatriation, resettlement and economic and social rehabilitation of the refugees".
3. On the other hand, paragraph 5 of the resolution of 2 December 1950 (A/1603) instructs UNRWA to establish a reintegration fund which shall b e utilized for projects requested by any government in the Near East and approved by the Agency for the permanent re-establishment of refugees. (The correlated paragraph 4 of the same resolution defines that such re-establishment shall be brought about either by repatriation or resettlement. It also states that this re-establishment of refugees shall not prejudice the provisions of paragraph 11 of the General Assembly resolution of 11 December 1948).
4. While the Conciliation Commission has thus been charged with the general task of facilitating the re-establishment of the refugees, UNRWA has been given the more specific task of "facilitating" their re-establishment by appropriating and administering a reintegration fund.
5. It appears, therefore, that in the light of the recent General Assembly resolutions the term "facilitate" must now be carefully re-defined if an overlapping of tasks of the two organizations is to be avoided.
6. The key to the required definition is seen in the phrase of paragraph 5 in A/1603, "requested by any government...". This phrase puts it up to the Near Eastern governments to take the initiative in requesting reintegration projects. However, the Conciliation Commission, by its terms of reference, has t he opportunity of raising the issue in negotiations with the governments, of promoting the submission of such projects to UNRWA, and of thus facilitating the re-establishment of refugees in accordance with paragraph 11 of the resolution of 11 December 1948.
7. The desirability of such intervention by the Conciliation Commission is underscored by the fact that the readiness of Near Eastern governments to request projects under the reintegration fund may be made contingent on requests in other predominantly political spheres. For example, it is possible that an Arab government would be prepared to submit a reintegration project if at the same time, machinery is set into motion to secure compensation for the resettled refugees. Or Israel may express readiness to reintegrate within her borders some refugees, with the aid of the reintegration fund, if Arab governments consent to discuss political aspects of the Palestine problem.
8. It seems, therefore, desirable that the Conciliation Commission should now interpret the term "facilitate" — as applied to the reintegration of refugees — as meaning: to negotiate with governments their readiness to request the utilization of UNRWA's fund for reintegration projects.
B. Compensation and Reintegration Fund
9. All matters concerning compensation fall clearly under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Conciliation Commission and its refugee office according to the resolutions passed by the General Assembly. It is, however, possible that in the practical implementation of reintegration, certain uses of the UNRWA reintegration fund and of compensation payment will overlap, because re-establishment may be financed by the reintegration fund or through compensation payments, and in some instances may b e financed out of both sources. Discussions between UNRWA and the Conciliation Commission will have to establish an effective procedure to be applied to projects which involve financing out of both sources.
C. Conclusions
10. As far as the refugee problem is concerned, United Nations bodies in the Near East have been given three specific tasks;
(a) to provide interim relief and work-relief for t he refugees;
(b) to implement the Assembly recommendation that compensation should be a paid for loss of or damage to property;
(c) to facilitate the repatriation, resettlement and economic and social rehabilitation of the refugees, bearing in mind the General Assembly's recommendation that refugees wishing to return to their homes etc. should be allowed to do so at the earliest practicable date.
11. Point (a) falls clearly and entirely under the jurisdiction of UNRWA.
12. Point (b) falls clearly and entirely under the jurisdiction of the Conciliation Commission. It will, however, be necessary to establish a procedure to be applied to reintegration projects which involve double financing out of UNRWA funds and compensation payments.
13. As for point (c?, it seems that its political implementation falls under the jurisdiction of the Conciliation Commission, its technical implementation under the authority of UNRWA.
14. For all practical purposes that would mean that the Conciliation Commission would limit its functions to negotiating with governments the general conditions under which they would submit reintegration projects to UNRWA. The approving of such projects and their technical implementation would be entirely within the province of UNRWA.
If the so definitions are accepted and maintained, no misunderstanding is likely to occur between the two organizations; indeed, the Conciliation Commission would be in a position of rendering a valuable service to UNRWA by promoting, through political negotiations, the submission of reintegration projects. On the other hand, UNRWA would be in a position to render an equally important service to the Commission by carrying out reintegration projects whose success would, no doubt, greatly improve the atmosphere in which the Commission has to carry out its political task.

Time Limits to Your Family Member's Claim
It's often hard to get a legal claim started when plagued by injuries. Assisting your loved one with an injury claim is a great way to help in their time of need. It's important to act fast, because most injury claims have time limits – also known as statutes of limitation.
Pennsylvania Statute of Limitations
Statutes of limitations restrict the time period that a person can file a lawsuit.
A personal injury action must be filed within two years of the date when the injury occurred.
However, there is a "discovery rule," which, in limited cases, extends the time for filing a personal injury action.

Protect the Legal Rights of Your Loved Ones
After a family member was injured in a car accident, knowing how to handle an insurance adjuster can protect their right to collect compensation. An adjuster will ask for your loved one's signature, description of the accident, and more, hoping your loved one will confuse the details of the accident. Pain medication can make the important factors of the accident difficult to remember.
Don't let` an injured family member say or sign anything until an attorney has been contacted. Your loved one can just say, "No" to the insurance company. It's their legal right.

Local business helps out in Eastern Europe
Building off of an agreement signed with the Israel Export Institute in 2005, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development signed contracts worth an estimated $300m. with numerous local companies and banks in 2006.
By MATTHEW KRIEGER
April 5, 2007 07:33
Building off of an agreement signed with the Israel Export Institute in 2005, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) signed contracts worth an estimated $300 million with numerous local companies and banks in 2006, as it seeks to expand Israel's cooperation in the rebuilding of eastern Europe. The EBRD was established in 1991 during the fall of communism in cental and eastern Europe as ex-Soviet countries needed economic support to foster the growth of a new private sector in a democratic environment. Today, the EBRD is the largest single investor in eastern Europe and it provides project financing for banks, industries and businesses, and also works with publicly owned companies to support privatization, restructure state-owned firms and improve municipal services. Among the Israeli companies that signed contracts with the EBRD was Tnuva Romania, the Basar Europe Group and the Kardan Group. Additionally, the Israeli banks Mizrahi-Tfahot, Hapoalim and Leumi agreed in principle to begin financing a number of the EBRD's building projects in Russia, Romania and Ukraine The Israel Export Institute is the local body responsible for coordinating the negotiations between Israeli companies and the EBRD, and its chairman, David Artzi, commented last week that Israeli businesses and banks can offer more than money for the EBRD's projects, as they also bring with them a wealth of knowledge and know-how from 50 years of development, which transformed Israel from a gravely underdeveloped country into a world leader in many different sectors. "Israeli companies and the Export Institute will help the EBRD in plotting their future plans, in addition to providing banking advice, coordinating new projects and arranging seminars and conferences in Israel on behalf of the EBRD," he said. Dr. Hedva Bar, Israel's representative to the directorate of the EBRD, believes that Israel's participation in the EBRD will help reduce the political and financial risks that are now facing many countries in the Former Soviet Union, as it will provide the much needed economic support in order for nations across eastern Europe and central Asia to complete vital infrastructure projects. According to the Israel Export Institute, in 2006 the EBRD financed some 300 projects in 29 countries worth an estimated €4.9 billion. Approximately 80 percent of the projects the bank finances are in the private sector, including real estate, infrastructure and transportation initiatives. Through its investments, the EBRD is able to promote structural and sectoral reform, competition and entrepreneurship as well as stronger financial institutions and legal systems.

DAP protest strongly against the .radical departure from NEP guidelines in the government decision to raise the bumiputra quota for new shares issue from 30% to over
Speech by Parliamentary Opposition Leader, DAP Secretary-General and MP for Kota Melaka, Lim Kit Slang, at the DAP Malacca English-speaking ceramah held in Malacca on Tuesday, January 14, 1385 at 6 pm
With The three-day suspension of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, and the subsequent collapse of the share prices – where $10.8 billion shares' value was wiped out on the resumption of trading because of Tan Koon Swan's Pan El crisis scandal – Malaysian attention had been distracted from a radical departure from NEP guidelines.
This is the government decision recently to arbitrarily, without nation or consultation, to raise the bumiputra quota for new shares issue from 30% to as high as over 70%!
The first indication of such new Ministry of Trade and Industry decision was the MAS public shares issue, where at the last minute, it was announced that 30% of the open portion of all new public shares issue would now have to be reserved to bumiputeras.
Until then, all new public shares issue would have to reserve 30% to the bumiputeras, leaving the remaining 70% to public subscription. With the new ruling during the MAS public shares issue, this means that with one stroke of the pens bumiputra quota for new shares issue had increased from 30% to 51% in early November.
But this was not the end of the story. Two weeks later, this was further jacked up in the Mechmar Bestobell Bhd. shares issue, where 59% was first reserved for bumiputras and an approved government institution (which would be holding in trust for bumiputeras) , leaving an open portion of 35% for public subscription. (Six per cent of the issue is reserved for the employees and directors of the company).
But with the new regulation requiring 30% of the open portion to bumiputras, total Bumiputera quota for the Bestobell issue would come to 69%.
But in December, it was found that bumiputeras who failed in the first balloting for the 30% open portion reserved for bumiputeras would be allowed a second balloting for the remaining portion, which would give them about 25% of the opportunity, which works out to another 6.1%, bringing a grand total of 75.6i% of the Bestohell shares for bumiputeras.
The latest public shares issue of Maruichi provides for a 46.11% for bumiputeras and an open portion of 42.5 % of the shares for public subscription. As 30% of this open portion is now further reserved for bumiputeras (working out to 12.75%) and taking into further account of the second balloting for bumiputeras working out to 25% of the successful ballot (which works out to another 7.44%) , then the total bumiputera share take in the Maruichi issue would come to 66.3%.
We thus see that with a stroke of the pen, in a matter of two months, the NEP rule that 30% of all new public shares be reserved for bumiputeras had more than doubled to 66.3% to 75.6% in two recent new public shares issues.
The DAP protests in the strongest possible term against such serious deviation from the NEP guidelines, especially at the surreptitous manner in which this new regulation was implemented. If Ministry officials can through administrative action without seeking Parliamentary approval make such radical deviation from established guidelines and rules, clearly certain administrators are even more powerful than MCA and Gerakan Minister.
From the three public shares issue of MAS, Mechmar Bestobell and Maruichi, we can draw two conclusions:
Firstly, a new rule that 30% of the open portion of shares issue for public subscription be reserved to bumiputras, and the further rule that bumiputras who failed in first balloting for this 30% could second-ballot for the remaining 70%.
Secondly, the previously closed portion of 30% bumiputra share reservation is now without limit, and could be as high as 49.5% in the Mechmar Bestobell case and 46.11% in the Maruchi case. In fact, it could go up to even 90% leaving 10% of the new shares issue as an 'open portion', out of which 30% is reserved to bumiputras, and subject to the second-balloting right of bumiputeras. This could work out to a final bumiputera share of 95.8%!
A very important principle is involved here, for if shares issue could be manipulated in this manner, in utter disregard of the spirit and intent of the NEP objectives, then it could be extended into other areas of economic, educational or employment fields, with far-reaching consequences to all Malaysians.
The DAP is most disappointed that the Gerakan and MCA Ministers and Deputy Ministers are mere puppets, who have no voice, mind or right of their own to speak up in Cabinet and outside to defend the people's basic rights.
The new Deputy Minister for Trade and Industry is Senator Kee Yong Wee, the new MCA Youth Leader. Hs he anything better to show than his predecessor, Datuk Oo Gin Sun, on this matter of the arbitrary increase of bumiputra quota for new share issues from the 30% to the level of 66 and 76 per cent in Maruichi and Bestobell, and which could go even higher?

The Making of Us: Who We Can Become When Life Doesn't Go as Planned
Sheridan Voysey

7 Myths about S…
Sam Allberry
Beautifully written and deeply poignant, The Making of Us allows readers to walk alongside author and radio personality Sheridan Voysey during a transformational moment in his life journey. Picking up where Resurrection Year: Turning Broken Dreams Into New Beginnings left off, Sheridan helps us process what we can learn about our identities in the face of disappointment and change.
Life had not gone according to plan for Sheridan Voysey and his wife, Merryn. When infertility ended their dream of becoming parents, they uprooted their lives and relocated from Australia to Oxford, England, so Merryn could pursue her professional goals. But the move meant Sheridan had to give up his well-established career in Christian radio, and though he was experiencing some success as a writer, he couldn't reconcile his expectations for his life with the reality he was living. Lost and directionless, he came to a sobering realization: I don't know who I am.
Following the example of many a seeker, Sheridan decided to pair his spiritual journey with a literal one: a hundred-mile pilgrimage along the northeast coast of England. Inspired by the life and influence of the monk Cuthbert, who was among the first to evangelize northern England in the 600s, Voysey and his friend DJ traveled on foot from the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to Durham, where the famed Lindisfarne Gospels were on display.
What makes us who we are? What shapes our hopes and dreams, and how do we adjust when things don't go as we hoped? Can we recover if we make a choice that's less than perfect? Voysey tackles these questions and others as he deftly weaves together Cuthbert's story, the history of early Christianity in England, and his own struggle to find his identity and purpose. His introspective writing leads readers to consider their own stories and reflect on how God calls each of us to an identity bigger than any earthly role or career. Part travel memoir, part pilgrim's journal, The Making of Us is a quiet story including a chapter-by-chapter reflection guide of trust in God's leading for our lives, no matter where our paths take us.

Hope for the future despite adversity
Reviewed by Lisa on 30 March 2019 (Format reviewed: Paperback)
"The making of us" is a beautifully written book in which the author draws 'us' in, inviting us to ponder upon our own journeys, as the author travels his own. Life's purpose is everyone's question at some point in time, but even more poignant for those of us who have faced something which challenges the very core of who we believe we are and what we are on this planet for. This book is a personal account of the authors musings on such topics as he treks through the North Coast of England with his friend. The safety and security this friendship affords the author allows him to explore in conversation some deep and thoughtful personal questions. It is sensitively and descriptively written. Due to the pilgrimage taken in the story, travel and history lovers in particular will enjoy the detail of this book. I was anticipating reading 'The Making of Us', after being seriously impacted by Sheridan Voysey's previous book 'The Resurrection Year'. When I read 'The Resurrection Year', I felt as though the author had read my personal journal as background preparation, all the while acknowledging that ultimately, life doesn't go as planned for many of us. Both books are highly recommended for this reason- I believe they appeal to anyone who is willing to slow down and reflect upon the purpose of their lives, particularly in the context of failed dreams. The real beauty of this book is the sense that life is in fact a journey, and despite the sometimes undulating and perilous paths we walk or stumble along, there is a purpose and hope for us. I received a copy of 'The making of us' in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A denture is a detachable substitute for missing teeth and nearby tissues. It is made of acrylic resin, in some cases in mixture with a variety of metals.
Complete dentures replace all the teeth, while a partial denture fills the slots created by missing teeth and keeps other teeth from shifting.
Candidates for complete dentures have lost most or all their teeth. A partial denture is appropriate for those who have a number of natural teeth remaining. A denture strengthens chewing capacity and speech, and provides support for facial muscles. It will drastically improve the facial appearance and smile.
Complete or full dentures are made when all your original teeth are missing. You might have a full denture on your upper or lower jaw, or both.
Complete dentures are referred to as "conventional" or "immediate" depending on when they are made and when they are put in inside the mouth. Immediate dentures are put in promptly after the removal of the lingering teeth. To make this attainable, the dentist takes measurements and makes the models of the patient' s jaws during an initial visit.
An advantage of immediate dentures is that the person wearing them does not need to do without teeth during the healing period. Unfortunately, bones and gums can shrink with time, particularly during the period of recovery in the first six months after the extraction of teeth. When gums shrink, immediate dentures may demand rebasing or relining to fit appropriately. A standard denture can then be made once the tissues have recovered. Healing may take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Partial dentures are often a remedy when many teeth are missing.
Removable partial dentures usually consist of substitution teeth connected to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are linked by metal frame. Removable partial dentures connect to your original teeth with metal clasps or instruments called precision connections. Precision attachments are typically more aesthetic than metal clasps and are nearly clear. Crowns on your natural teeth may improve the fit of an extractible partial denture and they are generally required with attachments. Partials with precision attachments generally cost more than those with metal clasps.
The denture process takes about one month and five scheduled appointments: the preliminary diagnosis is made; an imprint and a wax bite are made to identify vertical dimensions and appropriate jaw position; a "try-in" is placed to assure proper color, shape and fit; and the patient' s final denture is placed, following any minimal adjustments.
First, an imprint of your jaw is made using special materials. In addition, measurements are made to show how your jaws connect to each other and just how much space is between them (bite relationship). The color or shade of your natural teeth will also be determined. The impression, bite and shade are handed to the dental laboratory so a denture can be custom-made for your mouth.
The dental workshop creates a mold or model of your jaw, positions the teeth in a wax base, and etches the wax to the specific form wanted in the completed denture Routinely a "wax try-in" of the denture will be conducted at the dentist' s office so any realignments can be done before the denture is completed.
The denture is finished at the dental lab using the "lost wax" method. A mold of the wax-up denture is developed, the wax is taken off and the lingering space is filled with pink plastic in dough form. The mold is then heated up to strengthen the plastic. The denture is then buffed and set for wear.
For the early couple of weeks, a new denture may feel awkward or bulky. Nevertheless, your mouth will inevitably become familiar with donning it. Placing and taking out the denture will require some practice. Your denture should easily fit into place. Never push the partial denture into position by biting down. This could bend or break the clasps.
At first, you may be asked to wear your denture all the time. Although this may be temporarily annoying, it is the quickest way to determine those denture parts that may need adjustment. If the denture adds too much pressure on a specific area, that spot will become sore. Your denture can be adapted to fit more comfortably. After making adjustments, you may need to take the denture out of your mouth before sleep and replace it in the morning.
Start by eating soft foods that are divided into little pieces. Chew on both sides of the mouth to keep even pressure on the denture. Stay away from sticky or hard foods, including gum.
It's best to stand over a folded hand towel or a sink of water when gripping your denture, just in the event you mistakenly drop it. Clean the denture (preferably with a denture brush) daily to extract food deposits and plaque, and keep it from becoming permanently stained. Avoid using a brush with hard bristles, which can damage the denture. Look out for denture cleansers with the American Dental Association (ADA) Seal of Acceptance. Pay special attention to cleansing teeth that sit under the denture's metal clasps. Plaque that is entraped under the clasps will increase the risk of tooth decay.
Hand soap or gentle dishwashing solution to clean dentures is also acceptable. Other forms of household cleaners and many toothpastes are too rough and should not be used for cleansing dentures. A denture could lose its proper shape if it is not kept wet. At night, the denture should be placed in soaking solution or water. However, if the appliance has metal attachments, they may be tarnished if placed in soaking solution.
Even with complete dentures, you still have to take good care of your mouth. Every morning, brush your gums, tongue and palate with a soft-bristled toothbrush before you drop in your dentures. This removes plaque and promotes circulation in the mouth. Picking a balanced diet for proper nutrition is also important for preserving a healthy mouth.
Eventually, readjusting the denture may be required. As you age, your mouth naturally changes, which can alter the fit of the denture. Your bone and gum ridges can recede or shrink, producing a loose-fitting denture. Loose dentures can cause numerous problems, including sores or infections. Dentures that do not fit appropriately can be fine-tuned. Avoid using a diy kit to adjust your dentures, as this can damage the apparatus beyond repair. Adhesives sold over-the-counter often contain damaging chemicals and should not be used on a denture.
If your denture no longer fits properly, if it cracks, cracks or chips, or if some of the teeth becomes loose, see your dentist right away. In a lot of cases, dentists can make necessary adjustments or repairs, often on the same day. Complex repairs may require that the denture be sent out to a special dental laboratory.
Over time, dentures will need to be realigned, re-based, or re-made because of normal wear. To reline or re-base a denture, the dentist uses the existing denture teeth and renovates the denture base or makes a new denture base. Dentures may have to be replaced if they become loose and the teeth show signs of significant wear.
Eating will take a little bit of practice. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. Chew slowly using both sides of your mouth simultaneously to avoid the dentures from tipping. As you become adjusted to chewing, add other foods until you return to your normal diet.
Continue to chew food using both sides of the mouth at the same time. Be mindful with hot or hard foods and sharp-edged bones or shells.
Articulating certain words may require practice. Reading out loud and repeating troublesome words will help. If your dentures "click" while you 're speaking, speak more slowly. You may find that your dentures occasionally slide when you laugh, cough or smile. Rearrange the dentures by gently biting down and swallowing. If a speaking problem persists, get in touch with your dentist.
Denture glues can provide additional holding for well-fitting dentures. Denture glues are not the solution for old, uncomfortable dentures. A badly fitting denture, which causes constant irritation over a substantial period, may trigger the development of sores. These dentures may need a reline or need to be replaced. If your dentures start to feel loose, or cause pronounced discomfort, talk to your dentist immediately.


Your Exhibition Stand Visitors: How Are They Feeling?
As a competent and thoroughly prepared exhibition project manager, you have created an impressively detailed exhibition checklist, you have repeatedly gone through each line item and to your relief and satisfaction, everything on your list is sorted. Your exhibition stand is beautiful and functional, your exhibition stand staff is adequately briefed and motivated, and your lead generation systems are ready and in place. What could you have possibly missed?
After conducting the relevant research about the exhibition you're participating in, you have a good idea of the visitor calibre you're to expect on your stand. We're talking investors, buyers, potential and existing clients, suppliers, competitors, and possibly the media as well. Are you ready? Why of course you are! But…are you really?
Exhibition stand visitors, like you and I, are people with various emotions, frustrations, expectations, and agendas. Their moods are unpredictable and difficult to detect, anticipating how they could possibly be feeling allows you the advantage of better preparing yourself and your team to engage with them appropriately.
If their superiors are sending them to trade shows and exhibitions, chances are the attendees are very influential – and busy! They do not have the time to waste and they'll want you to get to the point swiftly. Be polite and concise. If a visitor to your exhibition stand feels like you're just wasting their time, they won't want to consider doing business with you or anyone associated with your brand.
As briefly mentioned in the above paragraph, these are busy people, and they'll have a million details to keep track of. Remember, you're not the only exhibitor they will talk to at the show! Do as much as you can right there on your exhibition stand to close the deal so that they don't have to remember all of the details once they get back to the office. Do the work for them so they won't have to remember to do it themselves.
Attendees are surrounded in every direction by exhibitors who want their business as badly as you do, so it's easy to get overwhelmed and irritable with all that commotion. When you're in that frame of mind it's hard to keep details straight. Remind your exhibition stand staff to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible to make it easy on the clients. Make the conversation about their needs and let them steer the conversation.
Your exhibition stand visitors are not stupid. They can see your signs and brochures perfectly well. But with so many options surrounding them, they might need a gentle nudge toward signing a deal. Offer appealing incentives to move them in the right direction, but don't give them the hard sell! Again, remember that they have lots of options, and if your exhibition stand staff push too hard, they might just push those clients away altogether. Give them straightforward reasons of how you can reach their needs and talk with them enough where they feel that the choice is clear.
When exhibition attendees walk into the exhibition venue, they're well aware of the fact that they're walking into a room filled with exhibitors that are there to fight for their business. This gives them the upper hand and they know it!
So go out of your way to make them feel special and give yourself the edge that you need. Start before the exhibition by asking your marketing team to contact your regular clients and offer an incentive to customers who visit your exhibition stand. For new clients who seem interested, offer exclusive discounts for HOT leads. A little flattery might get you further than you'd imagined.
The very best exhibition stand design and location will certainly attract attendees to your stand, however, if you don't employ all efforts to make it work towards your favour, you will find it difficult to retain them on your stand. Always remember to see the situation from your customer's point of view, and that will give your exhibition stand staff the edge that they need to stand out from the crowd.

Packers handle Bears, move to 3-0: Studs and duds
The Green Bay Packers picked up their second road win of the season in a 27-17 win over the Chicago Bears. The win moved Mike McCarthy's squad to a perfect 3-0, tied atop the NFC North with the Detroit Lions. It was the first time this season the Packers have looked dominant on both sides of the ball, putting together a complete game on both sides of the ball and taking down a division opponent and hated rival in the process. Here's a breakdown of the studs and duds from Week 3 in Chicago:
Right tackle Marshall Newhouse: When starter Bryan Bulaga suffered a knee bruise in the first half, Newhouse was inserted into the starting lineup and played well. He lined up over Israel Idonije most of the afternoon but also saw action against Julius Peppers, holding his ground and not allowing much pressure, if any. If Bulaga misses an extended period of time, Newhouse, who was great in training camp, will do just fine in his place.
Tight end Jermichael Finley: After two weeks of coming so close to big afternoons, Finley had the biggest of his career yesterday. He caught seven passes for 85 yards and found the end zone three times, taking advantage of Chicago's injury-depleted secondary. It's apparent Finley is fully healthy and will continue to be Aaron Rodger's favorite target in the red zone.
Running back Ryan Grant: Well hello there, Ryan. After two silent weeks, Grant was a workhorse in the backfield Sunday, rushing for 92 yards on 17 carries (5.4 ypc). James Starks threw up a clunker, rushing 11 times for 5 yards and a fumble as the Packers were preparing to put the game away up 27-17. It was a reminder that A) Grant still has something left in the tank and B) the Packers are going to use the hot hand each week.

Keys to the game: Packers host Saints to open NFL season
The 2011 NFL season kicks off tonight as the Green Bay Packers play host to the New Orleans Saints. The past two Super Bowl winners will get things going around 7:40 CT after Lady Antebellum, Kid Rock and Maroon 5 perform as part of the NFL Kickoff celebration, or something like that. But I digress, back to football. Here are five keys to the game that will decide which one of these two NFC contenders will start the year 1-0, and which will be looking for the first win in Week 2.
Battle of the blitz
No one was better in 2010 at passing against a blitz than Aaron Rodgers, and he will need to be just as good Thursday night. Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has no problem blitzing from all directions and, with the way the Packers offensive line played in the preseason, this could be a major problem for the Packers. Rodgers will have to be on his toes and looking for his underneath routes, tight ends will need to block well in the backfield, and, simply put, the offensive line will need to step up.
On the other end, Dom Capers is sure to bring an assortment of blitz packages against the Saints' high-powered passing attack. Drew Brees is just as good as Rodgers at getting the ball out of his hand, and a pair of pass-catching, check down running backs in rookie Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas means the Packers will need to get to Brees quickly.
Whoever gets more pressure on their opponent could walk away with a win.

Who are these guys? Packers keep three undrafted free agents
For the second time in as many years, the Green Bay Packers will begin the season with three undrafted free agents on their 53-man roster. A year after undrafted rookies cornerback Sam Shields, outside linebacker Frank Zombo, and offensive lineman Nick McDonald found spots on the roster, safety M.D. Jennings and outside linebackers Vic So'oto and Jamari Lattimore made the 53-man roster after not being selected in April's NFL draft.
So who exactly are these guys? Here's a look.
M.D. Jennings, safety
What's his story: The former Arkansas State safety chose the Red Wolves over the likes of Ole Miss and Mississippi State in order to see immediate playing time. After redshirting in 2006, he saw action in 12 games his freshman year, all as a reserve. He started his sophomore season and recorded a team-high three interceptions, five pass break-ups and 67 tackles. In 2009, he recorded 64 tackles, a team-high six pass break-ups and an interception. He was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference first team in 2010 when he recorded 84 tackles (second on the team), three interceptions, and a sack.
Why wasn't he drafted: As it is for most undrafted rookies, especially the three who made the Packers' 2011 roster, Jennings is undersized. Some scouts projected that Jennings would be a nickel corner at the next level due to his 187-pound frame, but for now the Packers project him as a safety. His ball skills were a plus but, despite 225 tackles over his last three years, his run support lacked. His 4.60 40-yard dash was just average.
What he does for the Packers: Other than Charlie Peprah, the Packers had little depth at the safety position entering 2011. Cornerbacks Jarrett Bush and Brandon Underwood (cut) had the ability to play safety if needed, but Bush is much better as a cornerback and Underwood was let go. That left an opening for a reserve behind Collins, and Jennings was that man.
He will primarily act as a special teams ace but he showed promise during the preseason as a safety, totaling 11 tackles and an interception. He beat out Anthony Levine and Anthony Bratton for the final spot.
Vic So'oto, outside linebacker
What's his story:

Packers bring back Harrell, Gurley, West, five others to practice squad
After finalizing the initial 53-man roster yesterday evening, the Green Bay Packers signed eight players to their practice squad Sunday morning. RB Brandon Saine, T/G Ray Dominguez, WR Diondre Borel, C Sampson Genus, QB Graham Harrell, WR Tori Gurley, CB Brandian Ross and WR Chastin West, all of whom were with the Packers in training camp, were all brought back to the practice squad. Also of note, Ted Thompson did not make a waiver claim on any players, so the initial 53-man roster stays intact.
Running Back Brandon Saine: The Packers decided to go with three running backs and John Kuhn in the backfield, which made Saine's services disposable. The Packers, however, are surely glad to bring him back as he showed solid, North-South running ability in the preseason.
Tackle/Guard Ray Dominguez: Thompson loves his versatile offensive linemen, and Dominguez is no exception. The massive, 6-foot, 4-inch Dominguez will provide depth for a thin Packers' offensive line and, at just 23 years old, still has room to grow. The Packers could still sign an unrestricted free agent lineman as depth before Week 1.
Wide Receiver Diondre Borel:

Green Bay Packers 53-man breakdown
Quarterback (2): Aaron Rodgers, Matt Flynn
Cut: Graham Harrell
Breakdown: So Aaron Rodgers survives another year of Saturday cuts. But seriously, Rodgers and Flynn were locked into their positions and the only real question was whether the Packers A) believed Harrell warranted a spot on the roster or B) would pass through waivers and be added to the practice squad. General Manager Ted Thompson went with the latter, cutting Harrell and hoping no team takes a flyer on him. There's a small chance a team will grab Harrell and put him on their 53-man roster, but he didn't show much in the preseason and is more of a system quarterback (the Packers' system) than anything at this point. With Flynn set to test the free agent market in 2012, Harrell could be the top candidate to backup Rodgers next year.
Running back (3): Ryan Grant, James Starks, Alex Green
Cut: Dimitri Nance, Brandon Saine
Breakdown: Nance and Saine were two of the last cuts to be publicly announced, so there was optimism that one of the two would stick. However, the Packers instead decided to keep 10 linebackers. The decision to cut Saine and Nance should also dispel any rumors that the Packers will try to trade Ryan Grant, who is in the final year of his contract. Starks and Green provide excellent depth and Kuhn is able to run the ball as well, so there was really no need to keep either of the two cut.
Fullback (1): John Kuhn
Cut: Quinn Johnson (trade), Jon Hoese
Breakdown: The question of whether or not there was a roster spot for Johnson was answered when it was revealed the Packers were keeping five tight ends. However, it was announced that the Packers received an undisclosed draft pick for Johnson in a trade with Tennessee. The move coincides with Titans' fullback Ahmad Hall being suspended for four games for violating the NFL's drug policy. Since there really was no room for Johnson, it's good to see him stick with another team and the Packers to get something back for him. Kuhn will enter 2011 as the Packers' only fullback.
Wide Receiver (5): Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson, James Jones, Randall Cobb
Cut: Diondre Borel, Chastin West, Tori Gurley, Kerry Taylor, Shaky Smithson (I.R.)
Breakdown: No cuts were easy on the ultra-talented and deep Packers' roster, but letting Gurley and West go rank as two of the toughest. It was known going into camp that the five who were ultimately kept were locks and, with the depth at tight end, it was going to be difficult for a sixth wide receiver to hang on to a roster spot. West's production and Gurley's size were obvious throughout training camp and the preseason, but the fact was that they were disposable with the depth already at the position. The Packers would love for West and Gurley to sneak through waivers, but it seems unlikely that both will and it's more unlikely that both do.
Tight End (5): Jermichael Finley, Andrew Quarless, Tom Crabtree, D.J. Williams, Ryan Taylor
Cut: None

Enter your e-mail address to receive e-mails whenever new posts arrive on the site!


Landing page – The website opens up way hoping for web clients through the Home page. The Home page is planned in such way that the design is as easy to understand as would be prudent. There is a navigational menu at the highest point of the page which connects to different internal pages. There is a class drop down on the left side for simple control. The middle territory is for showing most recent items in the chorological arrange.
Login/User Registration – Those who wish to participate in offering or offer items at the site need to enroll at the site as dealer or purchaser. Just confirmed clients can partake in offering or in offering. The framework consequently rejects un-verified clients who endeavor to offer or offer at the site.
Enlist Products – This module is for displaying things for offering. Just the individuals who have enlisted and verified as merchants can put their articles for offering. The Module gathers data like Product Name, Product Details, Starting Bid sum, Incremental esteem and so forth. The framework naturally inputs the end date.
Offering Module – The module is for offering on any chose thing. The bidder needs to confirm before taking an interest in offering. The framework checks whether the incremental sum entered by the bidder is equivalent or more than the incremental least set amid the item enlistment time. The framework puts the record in the offer history against the bidder account.
My Auction – This page is an interface for both purchaser and vender. Purchaser can see the profile of the offering history of things which are as yet open on which he/she has just awaited. Essentially the dealer can see the improvement of offering on articles he/she has set for offering.
Input – The motivation behind the page is to send messages/remarks to the web director.
FAQ – This page is implied for first time clients of the site. The page gave answers to questions which are normal and as often as possible inquired.
WebAdmin – This connection opens to the organization module which is interested in web executive as it were. Here site manager can include item classifications and can alter item data like shutting date. Additionally there is a possibility for controlling the shut offers. This module is for reaching the bidder and dealer by email teaching them to settle the exchange inside a time allotment.
3. Reliable client approval and checking.
"U Auction" is outlined such that it is as easy to understand as could be expected under the circumstances. So any yearning bidder or merchant can visit the site and take part in offering with slightest exertion.
The current "OPEN Auction House" is overseen physically. Preceding each bartering, the day of closeout, the scene and the things up for sale are reported through news media. The individuals who wish to participate in the bartering need to touch base at the scene on that day on time. This customary technique the vast majority of the circumstances keep yearning bidders from taking an interest in the offering procedure. Another cerebral pain of the old framework is to track each offering procedure and to influence it to finish in budgetary settlement. So the framework needs to keep records of the two purchasers and merchants until the finish of settlement. The procedure is extremely lumbering and tedious.
The motto of the new site is AAA, 'Anybody, Anytime, Anywhere'. That what it truly is? The "U Auction" is online sales management firm so the merchant or bidder doesn't have to go anyplace, rather they can participate in the sale simply sitting in the solace of their lounge, be it amid the day or night.
5 pre-condition is that the client must enroll and confirm before he/she can partake in the offering procedure. The framework utilizes HTTP shapes confirmation which makes a session treat for any marked in client. All through the traverse of the session the treat stays legitimate until the point when the client logs out.
A sale house needs items to sell, so in the proposed framework this is finished utilizing item enrollment module. The module is interested in client who is enlisted merchants and they have to validate before they enlist any item. The framework controls the end date by adding 14 days to the submitting date there by limiting the offering procedure to go on uncertainly.
Another critical module in the proposed venture is the "Offering module ". Here one can see the subtle elements of a specific item and furthermore the offering history. The client can offer on that thing by entering any sum more prominent than or equivalent to the incremental offer sum. Here likewise framework verifies whether the client has his certification checked else he/she will be coordinated to the login/enrollment page.
The last yet the minimum module is the "Internet Administration" module. The module is just open to the web director because of security reasons. In this module the head can include item classifications; this is to maintain a strategic distance from uncontrolled production of classifications. The second thing is the alternative to alter any given item. This will be essential when a portion of the subtle elements of the item should be altered for one reason or other. The third and last the shut offer director where the executive advises both the merchant and purchaser the need to finish the exchange.
There is another module which runs pretty much like foundation process. The capacity of the module is to close offer of those items whose end date is not as much as the present date. The procedure is programmed and escaped the web clients.

Special corona vaccination campaign begins today
1 December, 2022 12:00 AM
A weeklong special vaccination campaign against the coronavirus will begin today across the country, with the aim of inoculating 90 lakh people with a booster shot of the jab.
According to health ministry sources, the special vaccination campaign will be held to mark the country's great victory month.
As per the plan, the vaccination campaign will start on December 1 and continue until December 7.
According to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), around 4.58 crore people in the country are now waiting for the booster shot of the coronavirus vaccine.
The booster dose of the vaccine will be administered in the special vaccination campaign among the people who haven't taken their third dose yet.
Declaring the vaccination campaign at a programme, Health and Family Welfare Minister Zahid Maleque on November 22 said they have one crore doses of the vaccine for adults in their stock. "We will run a special vaccination campaign to mark the great victory month," he said.
Zahid Maleque said a total of 1,42,845 workers—57,138 vaccinators and 85,707 volunteers—will carry out the vaccination campaign in 28,569 vaccination centres across the country, including in Dhaka city.
According to him, the government immunised 13.49 crore people across the country through nine special vaccination campaigns.
According to the DGHS, 14.84 crore people aged 5 years and older have received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, 12.52 crore people have received the second dose, and 5.91 crore people have received booster doses of the jabs to date.
The government started a vaccination programme against the coronavirus on January 27, 2021.
The DGHS sources said the government is planning to inoculate some people with a fourth shot of the vaccine.
According to DGHS sources, the National Technical Advisory Committee (NTAC) on COVID-19 recommended that the government administer the fourth dose to citizens over the age of 60, frontline workers, and pregnant women.

With the group stages of the Vitality Blast behind us it is time to focus on the conclusion of the Specsavers County Championship for the remainder of the summer, quarter finals and finals day in the Blast aside.
The Championship run in begins on Sunday with a full set of matches across both divisions with those looking for the respective titles eager to continue their challenge for them while those looking to avoid relegation will need a win too.
Surrey have a commanding lead at the top of the table with six matches left of the campaign and they play host to Lancashire in the one day-night match of this round at The Oval. Second placed Somerset will be looking to take advantage of any slip ups from Surrey when they host the defending champions Essex at The Oval. Bottom of the pile Worcestershire head to Scarborough to take on Yorkshire while Hampshire will look to launch another great escape when they entertain third placed Nottinghamshire.
The leaders Warwickshire know they can focus purely on winning the title now and they will want to go a step closer to achieving that aim when they entertain Gloucestershire at Edgbaston. Second placed Sussex will look to keep close when they host Derbyshire while third placed Kent will want to do likewise when they head to Leicestershire. Middlesex will be looking to finish the campaign strongly when they travel to Northamptonshire while the other match sees Durham making the long journey to Cardiff to take on Glamorgan.
I don't think this is a week to go too mad given that most sides haven't had much time to get used to red ball cricket and practice it. With that in mind I'll take just the one bet which comes in Division Two at Cardiff.
Durham have found some real form in the T20 and often we see good form in that competition carried over to this one. Hampshire for example have launched a number of great escapes off the back of building some confidence in the shortest format and I fancy Durham will finish the campaign well. They have strengthened with Alex Lees joining from Yorkshire and Axar Patel arriving from India. Glamorgan have no overseas player here and have quite a few youngsters in their squad. They may well be reeling from a poor and costly final week of the T20 and so I fancy Durham to come out on top here.

The historic and traditional kimono comes from Japan and has a long list of different traditions and styles. As in when to wear what and what style. The style that is trending summer 2017 is perhaps more wearable than the maxi dress style that is more culturally linked. The kimono style summer 2017 is reminiscent of the classic kimono. The classic kimono comes in a t-shaped style, often with a belt, in a thin fabric and in colorful shades as well as prints. The length varies from hip to maxi, with the longer lengths growing in popularity. The fabric is often rather silky and shiny which adds both a pyjama feeling but also a casual and elegant vibe. Some of the trending kimono styles are similar to the pyjama tops that's been trending with a small collar, pockets and with a belt.
As the kimono is often a lightweight piece in an oversized style it's perfect for layering as well as hot summer days. As it's as light as it is, it's a perfect piece to bring to the beach or a second layer when your skin needs a break from the sun! The style of the clothing piece is often quite flowy which makes it favorable to style with fitted or structured pieces. A long midi kimono can favorably be done with a slim midi dress or cigarette pants with a fitted top. You can also go full on the flow with a pair of culottes, but make sure to balance the heavy weight of the fabric with a pair of refined shoes as flats, slippers or ballerinas.
Some people avoid kimono as the T-shape hides all the curves but not in the most flattering way. That's when the belt (often coming with the kimono) can be favorable to mark the waist or the hips. It'll also create some structure to all the fabric which will give a more proper look. Another thing to think about is that kimonos comes in all different colors and prints, often favoring lighter shades and floral prints. Go for the combinations you like best. If you're uncertain of the kimono, try it in a color you like and a print that flatters you and make the most out of it.
As always, a chic example of an outfit that embodies the kimono trend. First of all am I really fond of sets, so this outfit scores high right away. The color of the set is perfect for this transitional period too, with a silky copper tone giving the fall vibes. The black accessories, as the sunnies and the bag, picks up the black top. The black also bounces back to the visible seams of the kimono which gives a proper and structurized impression. The golden shoes breaks off the matchy accessories in a favorable way and goes well with the copper look too. Stylish is the word!
You can easily recreate this look yourself by taking your kimono and choose the colors of your outfit after what colors your kimono comes in. If you have a red/white/pink combo, go for white pants and add red accessories with some pink details. It's THAT easy. Let your kimono be the cheat sheet!
I've been seeing kimonos everywhere lately! Great post and outfit ideas!
Thanks for sharing this amazing inspiration!
Kimonos are great for Summer. I'm really glad they're trending now!
Who doesn't love a good kimono? They're the perfect way to layer in Summer and take a chance with color. Why not both at the same time? These belted kimono looks are SO GOOD.
I'm loving the kimono trend, too, but I've yet to add one to my wardrobe. I love how extremely versatile they are, allowing you to both dress them up or down. This last look is uber stylish, yet practical to recreate. I love the color combination, copper is one of my faves this time of year. In fact, I recently added a basic tee in a similar shade to my wardrobe. Thanks so much for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you're having a great day so far!
I love that kimonos are everywhere- they make such cool statement layering pieces!
I have been all about the kimono trend lately! I just bought one from Zara and am obsessed!
Oh I do love Kimonos! I'm so pleased they are trending again.

Q: How to access a text file from an android Application? I have a text file with some data that I want to copy in an SQLite database.
I can not access to files on "downloads" directory of the phone I have an Permission denied exception (I use the path provided by the Device File Explorer of Android-Studio-3.1.4 that allows me to create a file, get its path, edit the content but not saving it!).
Some forums tells that I have to put the file on data/data/app-name but I technically failed to do that.
I tried to create a new file in my project, but still I do not know how to access it with code.
    FileInputStream file = new FileInputStream("/storage/self/primary/Download/file.txt"));

before this line I tried to add:
    Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);

But this is not the solution.
So where should I put the file? what will be the right path? and what are the required permissions that I should add in the manifest?
thanks.

A: Before accessing any file from storage you need permission.
For Reading :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
For Writing :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> (Read permission is explicitly granted for this permission)
Also, you need to request those permission at runtime on device running Android M and Above.

Home Middle East & Turkey Middle East Syria bleeds again: US tries to block Russian advance in war-torn country
Syria bleeds again: US tries to block Russian advance in war-torn country
Crisis in the middle east is getting worse as the US tried to block the movement of Russia in Syria to strengthen its control over the country. Syria is getting broiled between the military adventurism of Russia, which supports President Bashar Al Assad, and the US which supports the anti-government militants.
Russia's efforts to form military units in Syria's Al-Hasakah province have been foiled by the U.S, according to local sources.
Moscow and Washington continue fighting for control east of Euphrates River.
Russia was trying to recruit insurgents from local militias in Amuda and Tel Tamer towns, which are occupied by the YPG/PKK terror group, said the sources requesting anonymity due to fear of reprisal.
The U.S. forces took action after Russia advanced toward these areas last December.
The Americans met the local people several times asking them not to join the Russian ranks.
The source also said the U.S. warned people that "Russia will use those who join their ranks as mercenaries in Libya".
It was reported that Russia gave up on this plan because the number of applications to join the military units was under 100.
According to Russia and YPG/PKK's deal, those who join the ranks would be trained by the terrorist organization.
Russia's influence in areas occupied by YPG/PKK
After Turkey started Operation Peace Spring on Oct. 9, 2019, against the terrorist YPG/PKK, Russian forces took over some bases emptied by the U.S. forces.
Since then, Russia increased its bases in areas occupied by YPG/PKK, east of the Euphrates river.
Read more: Turkey retaliates: destroys Syrian warfare facilities
In the province of Al-Hasakah, Raqqa, Manbij and Ayn al-Arab (Kobani), Russia has 18 bases and 700 military elements.
Russian forces penetrated the region after Operation Peace Spring, trying to reach the Rmelan oil fields east of Qamishli, but the U.S. soldiers prevented them.
Many groups and countries – each with their own agendas – are involved, making the situation far more complex and prolonging the fighting.
They have been accused of fostering hatred between Syria's religious groups, pitching the Sunni Muslim majority against the president's Shia Alawite sect.
Such divisions have led both sides to commit atrocities, torn communities apart and dimmed hopes of peace.
They have also allowed the jihadist groups Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda to flourish.
Syria's Kurds, who want the right of self-government but have not fought Mr Assad's forces, have added another dimension to the conflict.

Despite Their Royal Exit, Harry and Meghan "Remain Committed" to Their Patronages
Do Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Still Support Patronages?
21 February 2021 by Monica Sisavat
When Buckingham Palace announced on Friday that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will not be returning as working members of the British royal family, it was also confirmed that they would be stripped from their "honorary military appointments and Royal patronages," which would be returned to Queen Elizabeth II before "being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family."
Despite serving in the British army for a decade and dedicating a major part of his life to helping wounded veterans live fulfilled lives, Harry will no longer serve as a royal patron of the Royal Marines, the Royal Air Force Honington base, and Royal Navy Small Ships and Diving, as well the Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League. Meanwhile, Meghan — who first announced her royal patronages in January 2019 — will no longer be a patron of the National Theatre and the Association of Commonwealth Universities. The Queen's Commonwealth Trust has also been returned to the queen.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world."
Harry will continue his work with the Invictus Games, the competition for wounded and recovering soldiers and veterans that he founded, and his Sentebale charity, which he and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho set up in 2006 to help young people living with or affected by HIV and AIDS in southern Africa. Meghan, on the other hand, will continue to serve as patron of the Mayhew animal welfare charity and Smart Works, which "helps long term unemployed and vulnerable women regain the skills, confidence and tools to succeed at job interviews, return to employment and transform their lives."
After Buckingham Palace announced Harry and Meghan's royal exit, the couple released a statement of their own through their spokesperson. "As evidenced by their work over the past year, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world, and have offered their continued support to the organisations they have represented regardless of official role," the statement reads. "We can all live a life of service. Service is universal." Ahead, see how the charities and organisations reacted to the news of Harry and Meghan's departure.

HomeNEWS PORSCHE TRIBUTE BIKE
PORSCHE TRIBUTE BIKE
December 28, 2010 By EGGO No comments yet DESIGN
If there could be a tribute to Porsche's achievements: the glorious racing history, legendary Le Mans victories… and all, the Porsche Tribute bike is the one that will say everything. From the appearance even, this bike looks the true representative.
The making of this bike was made possible by two enthusiasts who are closely associated with the brand and were interested to tell the whole story though a vehicle which isn't fixed but mobile. As a result, the bike has all that sportiness and exclusivity the brand is known for however, extravagance it may be.
The making of this bike was a herculean task and the company, Custom Wolf involved in Street Fighter-business car, has to go through countless sketches, designs and even more ideas and finally decided to avoid everything normal. The next challenge was to strike a balance between a custom bike and a certain amount of athleticism. As a result the framework was refined and given a distinctive Buspoiler, the Downtube tube was changed, gap between the frame and rear wheel has been reduced by the use of sheet metal, clearances have been adjusted and a separate tank was made for the bike.

Funafuti è un atollo delle Tuvalu, capitale della piccola nazione.
L'arcipelago, composto da 33 isole la maggior parte delle quali disabitate, ha una popolazione di oltre 6.000 abitanti, che lo rende la divisione amministrativa più popolosa del paese.

L'atollo, che insiste in un'area di 275 km², è composto da una striscia di terra larga tra i 20 e i 400 metri, che circonda una laguna larga 18 km e lunga 14, collegata al mare da vari passaggi con diversi gradi di navigabilità. Il territorio complessivo delle isole non supera i 2,5 km².

C'è una sola strada, lunga una decina di chilometri, che percorre per il lungo l'isoletta di Fongafale che ospita il villaggio di Vaiaku, sede di tutti gli edifici governativi, di un piccolo aeroporto e dell'unico albergo (il Vaiaku Langi Hotel).

Le caratteristiche capanne di foglie di palma sono quasi del tutto scomparse e oggi le case sono in gran parte costruite con legno e lamiera zincata.

Il più importante edificio di Funafuti è il palazzo del governo, l'unico edificio alto più di un piano. Un altro luogo di interesse turistico è costituito dai resti di un aereo militare giapponese, abbattuto durante la Seconda guerra mondiale quando l'aeroporto di Tuvalu fu usato dalle forze statunitensi per difendere le isole Gilbert (ora Kiribati) e Marshall.

Harry Styles is ''a bit worried'' about toilet breaks now he's a solo artist as he used to be able to nip off stage unnoticed when performing with One Direction.
Harry Styles is ''a bit worried'' about toilet breaks now he's a solo artist.
The 'Sign of the Times' singer used to be able to step off stage to relieve himself mid-show when he was touring with One Direction, but now he's going it alone, all eyes will be on him and he won't be able to discretely disappear for a few minutes.
While Harry is now with Colombia records, he still values the opinion of his former Syco label boss, Simon Cowell.
He told radio station Key 103: ''I did play [my single] for Simon actually. I will still be asking him to download it though.
As well as Simon, the 23-year-old hunk also values the opinions of fellow singers Adele and Ed Sheeran.
He said: ''I love the way [Adele] does things. She's classy and I think she very much leads by example in terms of doing things you believe in.
''I think Ed is one of the most talented dudes I've met. He's definitely a special person.

I'm using a quite a few linux containers, and after an update i can't start them anymore. The system is running gentoo, and so are the systems in the containers.
lxc-start 20180122214910.845 ERROR lxc_conf - conf.c:mount_entry:1815 - No such file or directory - Failed to mount "shm" on "/var/lib/lxc/rootfs//dev/shm"

lxc-start 20180122214911.156 ERROR lxc_start_ui - tools/lxc_start.c:main:372 - Additional information can be obtained by setting the --logfile and --logpriority options.
What's confusing me is that the error message refers to /var/lib/lxc/rootfs//dev/shm but i'm not using that location at all.
I tried to comment out the shm mount entry, in that case the problem starts with the next entry. Besides that, they are both needed inside the container.
I also found a reference to a setting "lxc.autodev = 0" and added that to my lxc.conf, in that case startup works, but the container does only run an agetty process, and does not seem go through the normal startup process to start ssh, and other daemons. The problem there is that console and network access do not work, so i can't see what's going on.
Does anybody have a troubleshoting hint ?
The problem has been solved. There actually where two problems.
The first was shm, which shouldn't be mounted from the containers' config. When i started a container i got no console, that was due to a configuration error, effectively denying all access to devices including /dev/null, which prevented most programs from running.
The first was shm, which shouldn't be mounted from the containers' config.
Do you mean that shm should not be mounted in the containers' fstab?


When the United States Football League held its territorial draft last week, one selection, by the Memphis Showboats, went largely unnoticed. It seemed at first a curious oversight, because the prospect was a two-time all-American at the University of Tennessee.
There was, though, the question of size. At 5 feet 7 inches and 120 pounds, Sandi Sentell probably wouldn't make it off the sidelines all year, which, on the other hand, was just fine with the Showboats. ''What we have in mind,'' says Rudi Schiffer, ''is that she work in our sales department and also be a member of our 36-girl Dreamboat dance squad.'' In that role, Miss Sentell would be an immediate-impact player - her blue-chip skills in dance and gymnastics led the National Cheerleading Association to name her to the all-America squad the last two years - but the Showboats' ability to sign her is questionable, and for a reason that any of Memphis's rivals would well understand.

West is doing its part in Eschweiler to provide vaccination supply globally
Catriona Kennedy
Senior Manager, Corporate Communications
West in the Community
Since our Eschweiler's site founding in 1960 as Pharma-Gummi, we have been helping to support our overall company mission to ensure the development and delivery of lifesaving, life-enhancing medicines for patients around the world. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, we have a special role to play: through these challenging times, vaccine developers have trusted West as a partner of choice to help protect their sensitive biomolecules. If you've ever been vaccinated, or if you or a loved one has ever needed to take an injected medicine, you've probably encountered a West product.
At our site in Eschweiler, West specializes in the manufacturing of elastomer products for the pharmaceutical industry and plays a critical role in delivering billions of components for the packaging and delivery of all types of injectable medicines – including vaccines. Our Eschweiler site is part of a global network of 25 manufacturing sites in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific. In Europe, the team in Eschweiler has worked closely with sites in Ireland, France and Serbia to supply millions of rubber vial stoppers to a dozen global customers that are being used to package over a billion vaccine doses in multi-dose vials, as a part of the COVID-19 vaccine program throughout 2021 and into 2022. We have also supplied many critical components needed for some of the diagnostic kit products used to detect COVID-19. This is an accomplishment for our entire global workforce that we could only manage through a One West Team effort. On this, Dominik Speen, Operational Excellence Manager, Europe says:
"I have always been aware that we make an important contribution to global health with our products for life-saving medicines. But the current situation especially shows how important our work is. It shows that our job is of great importance to society. It makes me proud that our efforts ensure that the vaccines get to the population quickly and safely."
The pandemic also had an impact on our business model and our day-to-day way of working. All major areas of the company were affected, including production, warehousing and logistics. From the beginning of this global pandemic, we had two priorities: firstly, to ensure the health and safety of our team members, and secondly, to ensure the reliable supply to our customers with the components that are critical to deliver medicines and vaccines. In this context, Dr Stephan Selke, VP Operations, Eschweiler and Managing Director of West Pharmaceuticals Services Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG (West) commented:
"In view of West's role and the importance of the company, 360 new team members were hired in Eschweiler over the last 18 months, and production was ramped up to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Management and staff have managed to ensure the production process, taking into account sophisticated hygiene measures at the German sites. West has thus become a significant player in the global vaccination campaign. West continues to share the common values and social responsibility that the founder of Pharma-Gummi, Hans Wimmer, preached many years ago. We are proud to be at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic."
To further support the fight against the pandemic, we are looking for new team members who are seeking meaningful work so that together we can drive innovation in our sector and make our contribution to global health.
