The Grand Vezir's Townhouse

Visitors walking in or out of Cairo's trendy Townhouse Gallery on Mimaar Hussein Pasha Street (Sheikh al-Maarouf district) are bewildered at the derelict palace that stands nearby. Occupying an entire block it looks like it's a set from Roman Polanski's remake of Vampire's Ball.
But what is such an ex- magnificent edifice doing in the middle of a district cluttered with garages, mechanics, street coffee shops and mounds of rubbish. Who designed it and who lived there? More importantly, why is it in such a sorry state?
To begin with, the architect was court architect Antonio Lasciac, Egypt's renowned palace builder. Italian by culture and an Austro-Hungarian citizen by accident of birth, his clients included members of the Khedivial family, Cairene notables and trusted institutions. Among his more visible works are Banque Misr on Mohammed Farid Street and the Palace of Princess Nimet Kemaleldine (a.k.a. Palace of Prince Jamil Toussoun) currently being restored, across from the Arab League.
In the case of the palace subject this article and as attested by the superemposed monograms "SH" on the many decorative pillars, his client was Prince Saiid Halim Pasha, a grandson of Mohammed Ali.
Born in the Palace of Shubra in 1865, history has it that Prince Halim's father could have been the ruler of Egypt had it not been for an ambitious nephew upstaging him at every level of the way right into the Sultan's inner court in Istanbul. Disregarding tradition and using lavish gifts and bribes Khedive Ismail made sure it would be his own son Tewfik and not his older 'Turkish' cousins who would succeed him.
The two cousins most likely to have succeeded Ismail, prior to the Firman of 1873 establishing primogeniture, lived in Istanbul and had at one time or another, occupied senior military and cabinet posts in the Turkish government. Having grown up on the Bosphorus they were familiar with and most probably inspired by the palaces of Topkapi, Dolmabahce and Beylerbey.
One cousin, Saiid Halim Pasha, was also enamoured with Rome--the city he would be assassinated in years later by an Armenian terrorist, Arshavir Shiragian, on 6 December 1921. His choice of architect and style for his Cairo palace was therefore decidedly Roman. Moreover, Halim, a man of luxurious taste, made sure most of the material used in the construction and decoration was imported directly from Italy. A tout prix, il fallait epater les cousins! (At all cost, one must impress the cousins!)
It is said however that Prince Halim's wife, Amina Indji Toussoun, herself a great-granddaughter of Mohammed Ali, did not particularly like the palace. Her preferences lay with the Bosphorus, where she would eventually die in 1915, the venerable wife of the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire.

When Mahmud Shevket Pasha, Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire was shot on 11 June 1913 while crossing Istanbul's Bayazid Square, he was replaced by Prince Saiid Halim Pasha. For the next few years Halim was the illustrious boss of the quintessential Sublime Porte--official seat of the Ottoman government. In his capacity as Al Sadr al-A'zam a.k.a. Grand Vizier, Halim Pasha was the highest official in the empire. Yet it was no secret, both at home and abroad, that Halim was a pawn in the hands of the Young Turks, that powerful movement that had taken over the country's destiny. Wanting among other things, to introduce a constitutional government in an ailing autocratic empire ruled by Sultan Mehmed V., the Young Turks instead brought the empire to its accelerated demise.
One can say Halim's standing in British-controlled Egypt was doomed on 2 August 1914, when, in his opulent yali in Yenikoy, Turkey signed a secret alliance with Germany committing itself against the United Kingdom.
Three months later to the day Britain, France and Russia declared war on Turkey. Although he threatened to resign, Prime Minister Halim Pasha was reluctant as ever to give up the sybaritic pleasures of his post. As a result he witnessed first-hand the final scene to a 300-year Ottoman presence in Egypt, now officially declared a British Protectorate.
On 13 March 1915 in Cairo, by order of the Egypt's British occupiers, all of Halim's assets as well as those belonging to his siblings and their respective families, were confiscated. These included large landholdings, several properties and bank accounts and, the Halim Palace in Cairo's Ismailia district.
The palace was turned into El Nasriya School for boys where many a future senator, deputy and cabinet minister received his preparatory education. At first, the school occupied the entire palace property which is why the address given in 1920 was still No. 9 Antikhana El Masriya Street. A few years later the palace park disappeared so that where Royal Palms, fountain and garden had been, came new apartment buildings fronting Antikhana Street. The school's address was changed to No. 6 Rue Champollion (ex-Wabour al-Maya; ex-Mouillard) Street.

For a long time El Nasriya was considered together with El Saiidiya School across the river, as the leading educational establishments for sons of pashas and beys, a stigma that would later earn Halim Palace its ultimate death sentence.
With the extinction of titles and Egypt's old bourgeoisie, the palace became the unlucky ward of the ministry of education. Thereafter, the deterioration came in steady increments fueled by ignorance and greed. A dispensary here, an office for the ruling party there, plus the indiscriminate building of brick walls on the balustrades and the pilfering of the priceless pink marble and other rare historical rarities.
The rest is shameless history.

The yali (Bosphorus villa) of Saiid Halim Pasha was nicknamed the "Pink Yali With Lions" because of two Egyptian stone lions standing guard on the quay. The yali's architecture was western in style with empire overtones (see picture to right). The reception-room had Egyptian motifs. Considered one of the finest and best preserved buildings on the Bosphorus, the yali was partially destroyed by fire in 1995 and is now being restored.
Just before he was arrested (by order of the British in March) and subsequently deported from Istanbul to Malta in May 1919, Saiid Halim Pasha, a pan-Islamist, offered his estate on the Bosphorus containing woods and a number of fine buildings for the purpose of founding an Islamic University. The offer was not taken.
While imprisoned in the British colony of Malta along with his brother Prince Mohammed Abbas Halim, Saiid Halim Pasha claimed he had received a communication from the Nationalist Party in Cairo offering him the throne of Egypt once its independence was a fait accompli. At the time, Egypt's throne was occupied by Halim's nephew, Sultan (later King) Fouad
South of Yenikoy, on the European shores of the Bosphorus at Emirgan, stood the kiosk, yali and park belonging to Khedive Ismail, the same place where he died in March 1895. Emirgan Parki today consists of three pavilions: the Pink Kiosk, the Yellow Chalet and the White Pavilion, a legacy from Egypt's khedives.
Also in Emirgan stands the seashore house of Princess Iffet Hassan, a granddaughter of Khedive Ismail. The house has been restored by the Sakib Sabanji Foundation and is today a wonderful museum.
Closer to Istanbul overlooking the Bosphorous in Bebek stands the Hidiva Saray turned into Egyptian consulate-general. (click on Hidiva Saray)
Almost diagonally north the Bebek Saray, on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, stands Cubuklada Misir--Villa Cubuklu a.k.a Hidiv Kasri and its dependencies designed by Antonio Lasciac. These belonged to Khedive Abbas Hilmi before he sold them in March 1937 to the municipality (Beledeyesi) of Istanbul. The villa was restored in 1983-84 by the Touring Club of Turkey and turned into a 14-room hotel Hidiv Kasri. Although hidden by the surrounding woods, the villa's tower can still be seen from the Bosphorous.

As an ex-Nasriya student I found the website on The Grand Vezir's Palace most interesting. I also came across Kamal Nabih's e-mail listing names of students and teachers.
A point I would like to highlight is the high caliber of teachers we had at the Nasriya.
Dr Rashad Roushdy later head of the English Dept Faculty of Arts, Cairo University and a prominent writer was my English teacher in the Nasriya .Saad El Khadem related to the Egyptian royal family and a prominent artist in his own right was my art teacher. Fathi my mathematics teacher obtained a Ph. D. in pure mathematics and joined a UN atomic research organization in Vienna, Austria.

I was in Nasserieh Primary School from 1936 to 1939. But I must say the crumbled down palace of today has absolutely nothing to do with our lovely Nasserieh Primary School, and with Maarouf quarter of Cairo where it was situated. I still remember the happy years we spent there. I remember the teachers : Fathy Effendy : English, Fouad Effendy : Arabic, Fouzy Effendy : Mathematics, and the famous head-master Badrawy Bey. Look at them in the picture; how they are dressed !! and please notice their respectable satisfied, attitude and the proud, dignified look on their faces. I also remember my class, with Ahmad Ramzy (our famous actor), Dr. Hashem Mooro, Dr. Hisham Mooro, Cherif Zoulficar (Queen Farida's brother), Khorshid Thakeb and many many others. I remember the class-rooms, wide, clean, and well lit. The restaurant (the Yamak-khana), clean and serving our daily 3-course plus desert lunch. And in the lunch break (the big fous-ha) we played in a beautiful garden. The building was impeccably clean, as can be seen from the glittering, shining glass of the huge French-windows in the picture.
The school had a German (or maybe Swiss) "Matron" to over-see, I can�t remember what. You can see her in the back of the stairway picture.
I am sorry, but the pictures don�t seem very net. But originals still exist, together with many still living witnesses of a past era that we are proud to have experienced. Thank you for recording our school's history.

I was very interested by your article especially since both my grandmothers are related to Halim Pasha (see Mohammed Ali family tree). Thanks for the info. I've passed that forgotten palace many times and I've always wondered about it. Look in contrast how lovely the Turkish palaces are, so that even the Egyptian lions have satisfied looks! A thought comes to my mind, if the Ministry of Culture has an email address, why don't you forward your articles to them. Cc. the minister himself.

Thank you so much for this wonderful article and photos. i always envied the kids who went to school everyday and spent their day in these surroundings. many questions were answered about this incredibly beautiful palace, many still remain.
There are also two beautiful but smaller schools just opposite the Lycee Francais school for girls in bab el louk. I used to stand and look at the ceilings of the class rooms and wished to be a teacher there even for free. This must leave an appreciation for beauty and quality (the materials of the buildings are of very high quality) in the children who attended school and must be with them all their lives. Yet as upsetting as it is to see the buildings being so neglected and used, i was told once, that this was a way to keep them from being sold and destroyed.
Well cairo has so many buildings to be considered for restoration that if one of them only was in north america they would have made a great fuss about it. we just have too much history and it is a heavy load sometimes when the basic needs are not met for most of the people. I hope this palace could still be restored (i used to feel like bringing a big hose and wash the pink marble) see how it will show. What a lovely corner of cairo this would be if it is restored to it's previous splendour, a museum could be opened, instead of building new ones for millions and millions (and never coming close even to this marvel). Maybe a museum for Um Kulsum, or of Cairo and its people in the last 100 years!

Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA)
Written by IBJamon
Category: GBA
Metroid: Zero Mission is a retelling of the first Metroid game for the NES. Though there are a lot of throwbacks and nostalgic moments from the original game, it\'s really more than a remake. There is enough content here to be considered a new game. It starts out right before Samus\'s appearance on Zebes during the intro sequence, and will throughout the game add small storyline tidbits, and expand upon the ending, as she continues to retell the story of her Zero Mission.
How does this game play?
This game is similar in style to other 2D Metroid games. It\'s a 2D platform game, where you run, jump, shoot, and otherwise explore in interesting and creative ways in all directions. There are interesting weapons & attacks, as well as other moves that helps keep things interesting and keeps your mind second guessing \'is there a secret here? Did I miss something?\' Often, when it appears like the wall is cracked a bit, there just might be something behind it!
How is this the same or different than other Metroid games?
This game takes place on the original planet Zebes, so most of the plot is in places familiar to players of Metroid, with a few places from Super Metroid in there as well, as it also took place on Zebes. This game also has a significantly faster pace than Metroid Fusion,(you walk faster) and turning around is quicker as well. In general it has a feel that is slightly closer to Super Metroid than Fusion did. Another characteristic that is different than Fusion but more like Super Metroid is that there are not many conversation-style transition sequences, nor is there quite as much direction on where to go next.
While Fusion sometimes felt limiting in how you can explore because of the strength of the storyline\'s direction, this game has no real limits in where you can explore if you want to. This has the advantage of making the game feel a lot more \'free\', which is a big bonus, but it doesn\'t have the same feel that Fusion had in the sense of developing a larger storyline. That being said, Fusion was unique in this respect - there are no other Metroid games out there with such a story driven experience; Zero Mission is much closer to the \'roots\' of the series. Because of this, there are opportunities, if you have the skill, to perform \'sequence breaks\' - places where you can try to get an item out of order, or skip an item altogether. For example, with a lot of skill, it is possible to recieve Super Missles before the game coaxes you in that direction if you are quite skilled at utilizing an advanced technique called the Shine Spark. Some masochistic types also try to skip ever receiving certain upgrades like Long Beam, for example. Things of this nature are also possible in Super Metroid. One thing that is similar to Fusion is that, after an upgrade, you can hang on the edge of a cliff and pull yourself up. Quite useful.
How about the graphics and sound?
The graphics are quite good for the GBA, and are probably a little bit better than Metroid Fusion. The sound is also quite good, and and many are excellent remixes of classic tracks from the original Metroid. No complaints here!
What kind of bonuses are there?
This game has a lot of unlockable content. Upon completing the game once, the original Metroid can be played right on your GameBoy Advance! Unless you are a collector, I highly recommend this game over the soon to be released Metroid available via the NES Classic series; why not get two games for the price of one? Also, each ending you recieve gives you a different picture in the Gallery you can unlock. Hard mode is unlocked if you beat the game on normal. Since the original Metroid Fusion release had a lot less extra content than the Japanese version, you can link up Fusion to Zero Mission via a link cable and another GameBoy Advance to view the Metroid Fusion Gallery. All in all, if you like to have everything on a game unlocked and completed, this game has a lot to offer.
How appropriate is this game for Christians?
This game does not have too much to complain about. There is violence, but killing evil aliens is not too much of a problem in our view. The only thing is what a friend of mine calls \'fan waving\' - as is a tradition with this series, if you beat it in a certain time you can see Samus in a bikini in the ending, which no doubt unlocks a similar Gallery. Also the Fusion Gallery has similar pictures. Other than those concerns, it\'s mostly harmless.
Overall/Conclusion
This is a quite fun game that continues on an excellent tradition from previous games in the series. I highly recommend this to anyone who liked any of the earlier Metroids, or anyone else looking for a really good platform game. It doesn\'t abuse the nostalgia too much, in that it\'s an excellent game even for someone who has beaten the original Metroid before. The fact that you can unlock the original Metroid is a really great bonus, too. Even though I found it to be a bit easier than Metroid Fusion, it\'s at least as good of a game. With the improved unlockable content, I find that the scale is tipped in Zero Mission\'s favor.

Hardness is a measure of the mineral content of water. Calcium and magnesium are the most common minerals that contribute to hardness. Hard water causes scaling in boilers and other industrial equipment, and diminishes the effectiveness of soaps and detergents.


Written by Ms. Lenilyn B. Gallos on 05 December 2018 .
The 4th International Conference on Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (ICFAS) organized by the University of the Philippines Visayas through the College of Management focused on building, bridging and driving the fisheries industry forward.
Some 20 oral and more than 40 poster presenters presented their latest researches on natural sciences, business, marketing, social sciences and governance. The presentations encouraged discussions on various scientific breakthroughs, management practices and social issues in the field of fisheries and aquatic sciences among the participants from the academe, government institutions, industry players, business leaders, entrepreneurs and professionals.
Dr. Md Abul Basher, Natural Resource and Agriculture Specialist of the Asian Development Bank, was the Keynote Speaker. He talked about the supply and demand challenges of food security, the future of food and the role of fisheries sector in alleviating these concerns to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 2 that seeks sustainable solutions to end hunger and poverty by 2030 and to improve food security. He also shared ADB's engagement in the fishery sector specifically in aquaculture sector.
Basher raised concern about the achievement of SDG 2 due to the reverse gains made in ending hunger and food security in the recent years. He pointed out that the world should try to diversity the sources of animal protein. With the problem on over-fishing, Basher emphasized the importance of participatory and collaborative management for sustainable fishing as well as better management of inland fishery resources.
Dr. Glenn Baticados, Director of UP Los Baños Center for Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship, and Jessica Minguel, Co-Founder and marketing specialist of ID Water in Taiwan, were the plenary speakers. Baticados presented on how technology transfer works in the academe and how to generate income from the use of the technologies or research outputs developed and partners with the industry.
On the other hand, Minguel, discussed about the development and the success of ID Water, a company providing water quality solutions among aquaculture farmers.
The conference had six plenary sessions. These were 1.) governance in the fisheries and aquatic resources industry, 2.) capture fisheries industry, 3.) sustainable business management and competitive strategies for fisheries and aquatic resources industry, 4.) post-harvest fisheries industry, 5.) other social science issues and debates in the fisheries and aquatic resources industry, and 6.) aquaculture and other aquatic resources industry.
Prof. Arthur Barrido, Dean of CM and chair of ICFAS 2018, was elated with the success of the conference.
Barrido together with UPV Chancellor Ricardo Babaran and Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension Rolly Fuentes awarded the certificate to the research winners. Mr. Aries Paul Pardon and Prof. Reynold Tan won as Best Paper in the natural science and social science and management categories, respectively. Winners in the photo contest about the conference posted at facebook and instagram were also announced.

Business, Industry and Professions
A little Native American doll among the belongings of Jessie Ferguson Spears supplied the inspiration for the name that made her husband, Ralph Reed Spears, famous for establishing a consumer-accepted jobber brand in the oil industry.
A true entrepreneur, Spears gained national recognition while building his oil distribution empire in South Wheeling. He made his greatest impact in the 1920s with the formation of the Fleet-Wing marketing vehicle for his oil jobbing firm, Spears & Riddle Co. In the early days of the oil industry, most jobbers - middlemen who buy goods in quantity and then sell them to dealers sold gasoline as an unbranded commodity. Feeling the competition from the larger companies' advertised brands of gasoline, Spears & Riddle Co. decided to give its fuel a brand name and advertise it. The words Fleet-Wing were written' on the bottom of his wife's knickknack doll and the Spearses thought that was "a beautiful name for something fast," one of their grandsons shared decades later, explaining how the name Fleet-Wing was selected for the first jobber brand of oil products. Service stations all over the Midwest and East operated under the Fleet-Wing banner in its heyday. Very soon after it was established by Spears, Fleet-W ing scooped the entire petroleum industry by pioneering the sale of Ethyl gasoline. Spears was a friend of many of the General Motors associates who were experimenting with anti-knock additives and he assisted them in their experiments. When tetraethyl lead was perfected, he got his reward. Early in 1923, General Motors granted Spears & Riddle the first permission to market the fluid, and when the Ethyl Corp. was organized, Spears & Riddle got the No. 1 Ethyl license. The Spears firm had no refinery, but blended Ethyl fluid into the gasoline it bought from refiners. At one point, the company was marketing 600 to 700 rail cars of gasoline per month, principally to jobbers, with only the tetraethyl lead franchise and a name and without having a refinery or plant of any kind.
Expanding sales kept Spears & Riddle searching for additional gasoline supplies, leading R. R. Spears to Standard Oil of Ohio's offices in Cleveland in 1928. The end result of this contact was that Sohio bought the Fleet-Wing brand name from Spears & Riddle the next year and started Fleet-Wing Corp., the first subsidiary organized by Sohio. This allowed Sohio to continue selling to jobbers, but to give them a brand name product, as they wanted, that still was separate from the Sohio brand.
Spears was born at Wheeling on July 15, 1859; resided in Wheeling from 1910 to 1943; and operated a business at Wheeling from 1888 until 1934. He died on Sept. 20, 1943.
His professional experience included approximately 60 years of manufacturing, marketing, executive and engineering ability. From 1880 to 1887, Spears mastered the manufacture of axles, skills he learned from his father, who was a pioneer iron founder. He organized a stock company and had the Spears Axle Co. works constructed on the corner of Main, Water and 27th streets starting in the 1880s. He also patented a number of machines.
Ralph Reed and Jessie Spears married in 1884 and had five children, including a son who died in infancy. Spears lived the early part of his life as a resident of Marshall County but spent much of his time at the family business in Wheeling. He was educated in local public schools until he reached age 13. Three of his grandchildren are residents of Wheeling.

The Sixteen Trees of the Somme is an intricately plotted and enthralling novel by the award-winning author of Norwegian Wood and The Bell in the Lake. An international bestseller and longlisted for the Dublin Literary Prize, it tells the story of Edvard and starts at his family's tree farm in Norway, where he was raised by his grandfather.
The death of Edvard's parents when he was three has always been a mystery but he knows that the fate of his grandfather's brother, Einar, is somehow connected. One day a coffin is delivered to the farm for his grandfather, long before the grandfather's death––a meticulous, beautiful, and unique piece of craftsmanship with the hallmarks of a certain master craftsman––raising the thought that Einar isn't dead after all. Edvard is now driven to unravel the mystery of his parents' death. Following a trail of clues from Norway to the Shetland Islands to the battlefields of France and sixteen ancient walnut trees colored by poison gas in World War I, Edvard ultimately discovers a very unusual inheritance.
Spanning a century and masterfully navigating themes of revenge and forgiveness, love and loneliness, The Sixteen Trees of the Somme displays the rich talents of Lars Mytting––whose novels have sold over a million copies worldwide––in a story that is utterly compelling and unforgettable.
Lars Mytting, Norway's bestselling novelist, is the author of Norwegian Wood. His books, which have sold over 1 million copies in 19 languages, have won the Norwegian Bookseller Prize and have been shortlisted for the prestigious Dublin IMPAC Prize, among others. The Bell in the Lake has been sold in 12 countries and was a #1 bestseller in Norway.

That's what a lot of commercials on web design promise these days, that they can help you create a website with a couple of clicks. This may be true, but there are some serious pitfalls to be aware of when choosing this route for building your website.
We can all agree how important websites are, they impact our lives everyday. In that regard, your own website is very important. That being said, isn't important to have the best technology in your website and the most control over the ownership of that technology? If you answered yes to these questions, then you may want to think twice about using web builders like GoDaddy's Website Tonight, Weebly or Wix.
The problem with these sites, is that you don't own the code. The company owns the code, and that means if you ever want to move the site and stop paying their monthly fees, you will have to re-build the entire site. They won't even give you the files you paid them to build for your website!
If this isn't alarming enough, there are serious structural flaws in these web builders. To Google, uniqueness is the gold standard of website importance and in return website search ranking, therefore a web builder built website has an identical footer, void of good content about your business, as all other websites.
What's worse is that they don't even offer an opportunity to edit the footer and add more SEO content to boost search results. If your web development company doesn't allow access to a certain part of your website, it is time to switch web developers.
The most popular Content Management System on the planet is WordPress. It offers an easy to use back-end for updating content and powerful features for SEO. Best of all, all the files for the site are in your control! This means that any changes to ANY part of your website can be edited with the right web developer.
One of the best parts of getting WordPress for your website, is that all the source files that constitute the website can be backed up to the website owner's hard drive. If you believe that your source files should live on your computer not your web development companies, switch to WordPress.
SkyPoint Studios can help guide you through this process, call 406-208-8733 to speak with a friendly web expert today!


When the University Of Washington School Of Medicine prepared a multi-phase plan to develop a biomedical research campus, it used a P3 to transform an office building in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle, allowing the school to accelerate the building process, save the university millions of dollars and deliver state-of-the-art facilities that have been a catalyst in the area's redevelopment.
To build the new biomedical research campus, UW Medicine entered into a partnership with Vulcan Real Estate, Inc., Perkins + Will and the National Development Council's Housing and Economic Development Corporation's Public-Private Partnerships. Together, the group used two forms of tax-exempt bonds (501 (c)(3) bonds and 63-20 bonds) to finance the project.
The first phase of construction began in 2003 with the complete renovation and redevelopment of the four-story Brotman office building into a 105,000 square-foot, space for biomedical research labs, lab support, animal resource spaces and conference spaces.
In 2006, the partners broke ground on phase two: two new buildings totaling 288,000 square feet of laboratory and office space with below-ground parking.
Three more buildings will be constructed as part of phase three of the project. The first building was completed in 2013 and includes a 138,000 square-foot research laboratory. Groundbreaking on the final two buildings will begin in the future.
The university currently leases the buildings from the developers, and once the debt is retired the university will take ownership of the campus.
For their unique use of two forms of tax-exempt bonds in a exceptional approach to collaborative project delivery the UW South Lake Union Biomedical Research Campus National Development Council, a partnership between University of Washington School of Medicine, Vulcan Real Estate, Inc., NDC HEDC Public-Private Partnerships and Perkins + Will, has been awarded the 2014 National Public-Private Partnership Innovation Award.

Honoring the agreement with commercial partners, regardless of the form of this agreement, is one of the rules that any functional economy is based on. This rule is translated into juridical terms by the mandatory force of the contract – once a part of the contract agreed to it, has not only a moral obligation to fulfil the assumed obligations, but also a juridical one.
Although this principle is, without any doubt, one of the fundaments of a healthy commercial environment, there are also exceptional situations when the rigid execution of a contract can affect the commercial relations and justify amendments to it. We are referring here to one of the circumstances in which one of the parts enters the contract in good will but later, for reasons that are not attributable to them, reaches the conclusion that the execution of the contract would be prejudicial for its activities.
Insolvency: distress or turnaround opportunity?

The transaction was closed in December for the price of 17 million Euros.
At the end of this year, Eversheds Lina & Guia appointed two new partners, Cristina Popescu and Sorin Susnea, who will join Cristian Lina, Mihai Guia, Adrian Iordache and Cristian Guia.

Negombo citizens call for unity
By Vimukthi Fernando
An organisation known as Unity of Negombo Citizens (UNC) pledged it would not let further harm befall any community in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and to protect the lives of all communities, at a media briefing held last Thursday (25).
UNCs aim is to erase the label 'inhuman behaviour' tagged onto Sri Lanka recently and to maintain peace and harmony in the country for future generations. The organisation represents the multi-ethnic and multi-religious backgrounds of the citizens of Negombo.
"I'm a Muslim but I've never been involved in terrorist activities. Not only I, but most other Muslims are'nt. Please don't label all Muslims as terrorists. I was a resident of Negombo and left to live in Colombo because I felt insecure in Negombo," said Sheik Hasmathullah. He expressed his sadness in not being able to physically support the Catholic community in their time of grief. "We want to express our sympathies and support them in their time of need. Some of them are our family; others are friends. All these years we have been together and now because of a very small group who have done this, we have been targeted," he said.
Convener, National Fisheries Societies Movement, Herman Kumar, also a resident of Negombo said that many representatives from the Muslim community from Negombo couldn't participate at the media briefing as they were not allowed to go out of their homes.
Resident and Human Rights Activist, Prasanga Fernando thanked the Catholic Bishops of Sri Lanka, the Police and the Security Forces for the roles they played after the disaster. He noted that Sri Lankan politicians, from the government and opposition have acted irresponsibly without any regard for the lives of the citizenry. The 225 parliamentarians failed to protect the 65,000 square kilometres from terrorist attacks. "What if it was a large country?," he questioned.
The bomb blasts were attacks on democracy. Some political factions fish in murky waters and had sent 'Ninja Warriors' to attack shops in Negombo, he said. Though the media had failed to report there had been violence and fear mongering with Muslim shopkeepers being served letters to keep their establishments closed for a week. There had been some attacks on shops and houses, he said.
He questioned as to who would benefit from riots and communal unrest in the country and cautioned citizens not to get caught in such traps. He called for the government to ban all extremist organisations which threaten peace. All communities must be flexible to join in the efforts of unity putting down cultural barriers at this time of grief and need.
Roman Catholic nun Rasika Peiris said "We cannot justify what happened last Sunday or reverse what happened. As citizens of the country, we have a huge responsibility. We cannot pass the ball. The leaders seem not ready to take up responsibility. We need to emphasise that they need to take responsibility. We understand the grievances of our Muslim brothers and sisters. No one is ready to listen to their struggles and pain. This is a good opportunity for us to extend our hand of support and say that we are with you. There are extremists in all religions, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu and Islam – it doesn't mean all of us are extremists. It is time for us to break all these human-made barriers and elevate humanity," she said.
Moulavi Nusrath Nowfel (Haqquani) from the All Ceylon Islamic Professionals' Association condemned the attacks and called upon the government to deliver stringent punishment on the perpetrators. The Muslim community should stand together with all other communities in Negombo and the country to eradicate terrorism, he said and urged the Muslim clerics, and other administrators of mosques to extend support to achieve this purpose.
"It is empathy we should show – try being in their own shoes," he said. He encouraged the citizens to stop blame shifting and to get together as one country to rise to the challenge of supporting those who are affected by the act of terrorism and to establish peace and harmony in the country as Sri Lankan citizens and not as segregated communities.

Nelly Furtado – "Parking Lot"
Published August 19th 2012 by Pop Junkie
Filed under Reviews
Nelly Furtado's upcoming third single from The Spirit Indestructible is Parking Lot. Nelly performed the track a few weeks ago during her AOL Sessions. I've had that version on repeat ever since. Each song that is premiered from this album is better than the last and it's shaping up to be an extremely good collection of songs, all of which, aren't trying to sound like anything else out there at the moment.
Parking Lot in studio form is a lot different to the live version. It's a slower tempo for one. But the huge difference is the vocals. Nelly actually sounds like she was drunk when she recorded them, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Her vocals sound a bit out of tune even though it was intentionally meant to sound that way.
Like Big Hoops, lyrically the song is a throwback to Nelly's teenage years. It's simply about being carefree, driving around with friends and blasting music with nothing to do. In the live version, some of the lyrics are delivered with more emphasis which is really lacking in the studio version.
Production wise, Parking Lot sounds a bit unfinished. Big Hoops and Spirit Indestructible gave me this impression as well. But at times, the rawness of the tracks is what makes them refreshing compared to all the polished, over-produced dance music controlling the charts at the moment. This is also the reason Nelly's singles so far from this campaign have flopped badly.
You can listen to Parking Lot's radio edit below:
The live version is below to compare it to:
Overall, Parking Lot is a great song and I'm excited that it's being released as the third single. It may not save the album campaign from commercially failing, but it'll be another great song to add to Nelly's impressive back catalogue. After hearing these three singles, I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

Q: How can I hide the Windows 7 logo in the taskbar? I have a WPF window that goes fullscreen, and I have made every attempt to make it truly fullscreen. WindowStyle is None, WindowState is Maximized, Topmost is true, etc. I even used p/invoke to hide the taskbar when the window is loaded and make it appear again on exit. The problem I have is when, for example, I play a video that replays once it finishes, the third-party program that plays the video pops its window up while also flashing its taskbar button. I can ignore the window since my Window has the Topmost property set to true, and I can also ignore the flashing taskbar icon/button since the taskbar is hidden, BUT the circly windows 7 logo appears on the left bottom corner no matter what. How can I disable that, too?

A: This example at CodeProject works with Windows 7.

This is freaky! Anthropologists discovered a sixteenth-century skeleton that had ovarian teratoma. What's ovarian teratoma? Kristina Killgrove explains that it is a "modern medical term coined from the ancient Greek words for 'monstrous tumor,' a teratoma usually presents as a cyst composed of multiple types of cells. This essentially means that a teratoma can grow into a variety of different tissues, including bone, teeth, hair, and organs." Apparently it's common today!

Tracking Trump On Immigration: Despite Focus, Many Ideas Are Stalled Or Blocked
Updated June 4
President Trump is threatening to impose tariffs on Mexican goods as early as next week — unless Mexico does more to stop the flow of migrants reaching the U.S. border.
The diplomatic maneuver is the latest in a long line of White House efforts to reshape migration patterns and restrict immigration to the United States. It also may turn out to be the latest policy proposal that falls short of accomplishing what Trump wants.

AG Barr Orders Immigration Judges To Stop Releasing Asylum-Seekers On Bail

The agency is reviving the controversial practice of sending "no match" letters to businesses across the country, notifying them when an employee's Social Security number doesn't match up with official records.
That may sound innocuous. But these no-match letters are expected to set off alarm bells. That's what happened when they arrived in the mail back in the mid-2000s.

Immigration authorities are expressing alarm about the growing number of migrants crossing the Southern border.
Federal agents apprehended more than 4,000 migrants crossing the border on each of two days this week — the highest daily total recorded in 15 years, according to a senior official with Customs and Border Protection.

'No More Deaths' Volunteers Face Possible Jail Time For Aiding Migrants
By Joel Rose • Feb 28, 2019
For years, volunteers have left food and water in remote stretches of desert along the U.S.-Mexico border. They say they're trying to save the lives of migrants making the dangerous crossing. But the government argues these volunteers are encouraging illegal immigration.
Now several volunteers face jail time when they're sentenced on Friday.
"What we've seen in the last two years is a real escalation," said Catherine Gaffney, a spokeswoman for the activist group No More Deaths.
Behind The Border 'Crisis': More Migrant Families Risk Dangerous Remote Crossings
In a desolate stretch of desert outside Yuma, Ariz., there's a spot where more than 350 migrants, including children, burrowed under the steel border fence a few weeks ago.
"This only goes down just about probably another foot, this steel," said Anthony Porvaznik, chief patrol agent for the Yuma sector of the Border Patrol. He says smugglers tried digging in more than a dozen spots, looking for places where the ground was soft enough.
"This is very sandy," Porvaznik said. "It's like that all the way down, and so it was easy to dig."

"I felt a huge joy when I saw them again, and I knew that I was going to be here, protected," she said.
FACT CHECK: Trump's Oval Office Pitch For A Border Wall
By Scott Horsley, Joel Rose & Jim Zarroli • Jan 8, 2019
President Trump used his first prime-time address from the Oval Office to make the case for his controversial border wall. The president's demand for $5.7 billion in wall funding — and Democrats' opposition — has led to a partial shutdown of the federal government.
Here we check some of the arguments made by the president and top Democrats in their response.

'An Irony': Shutdown Fight Over Border Security Takes Toll On Immigration Enforcement

The government shutdown began with the president's demand for border security money. But it has also halted E-Verify, a federal program that's supposed to prevent immigrants from working here illegally.
If U.S. employers want to check whether their prospective hires are eligible to work, they can't. The E-Verify database is "currently unavailable due to a lapse in government appropriations," according to a note on the government-run website.

Election after election, pundits predict that Latinos will be a powerful voting bloc. And Latino voters consistently underperform those expectations by failing to turn out at the polls in big numbers.
But this year's midterm results in Nevada, Arizona and other states suggest that Latino turnout is up dramatically — a development that could reshape the electoral landscape for 2020 and beyond.

Q: Can you convert this Linq statement into Lambda without using join statements? I see this all over the web, however I'm curious if there isn't an easier way to write this in lambda?
  var x = from c in db.Client
    from p in db.Prospects
    from ct in db.Countys
    select new ViewModelExcelReport
    {
         client = c.ClientName,
         cntyCounty = ct.County,
         sctSection = p.Section
    };

I would like to see a lambda expression that does NOT use joins, as though i am almost certain that i have seen one without the joins, but if this isn't possible ofcouse i'd like to see one with, thanks.

A: Basically multiple from clauses contribute SelectMany calls. So your code is something like:
var x = db.Client
          .SelectMany(c => db.Prospects, (c, p) => new { c, p })
          .SelectMany(z => db.Countys, (z, ct) => new { z, ct })
          .Select(zz => new ViewModelExcelReport
                        {
                            client = zz.z.c.ClientName,
                            cntyCounty = zz.ct.County,
                            sctSection = zz.z.p.Section
                        });

Note how this is rather more longwinded than the query expression - the compiler takes care of keeping track of all the range variables via transparent identifiers. Why do you want this in lambda form? What do you see as being the benefit? The query expression will be translated into exactly the same code, so you should use whichever one is clearer - which in this case looks like the query expression, IMO.
As an aside, I'd strongly recommend that you change your property names (in ViewModelExcelReport) to more idiomatic ones if you possibly can.

Cops: Judge admits to stealing neighbor's panties
Judge Robert Cicale is accused of stealing his neighbor's panties
NEW YORK (AP) - A New York judge accused of breaking into a neighbor's home to steal her worn underpants pleaded not guilty Friday to a felony burglary charge.
Robert Cicale, a Suffolk County district court judge, admitted he had broken into the woman's Long Island home several times and stolen underwear out of her clothing hamper, District Attorney Timothy Sini said.
The 23-year-old woman once worked as an intern for Cicale when he was a town attorney. She was alone in the East Islip home Thursday when she heard a noise and saw a man running off, police said. The woman called her mother, who then called 911.
When officers arrived, they found Cicale on the street carrying several pair of the woman's soiled undergarments, authorities said.
Cicale told investigators that on Thursday he "went into the house to take the panties again," according to court documents.
It was unclear why Cicale at the time would have been carrying underwear he had taken on a previous occasion.
The judge, who generally hears misdemeanor criminal cases in the county's district court, told the officers that he had taken the underwear during another break-in, Sini said.
"This is very disturbing," Sini said in an interview Friday. "In his confession, he noted he had urges to do this, to engage in this behavior."
Investigators are still investigating to try to figure out how many times Cicale broke into the woman's home, the district attorney said.
"He admitted he had gone into the home unlawfully on a few other occasions," Sini said.
Cicale was "temporarily relieved of his judicial duties" and the matter was referred to the state's Court of Appeals to determine whether to suspend the jurist, court system spokesman Lucian Chalfen said.
A judge also issued a restraining order that prevents Cicale from contacting the victim and, as a condition of his bail, Cicale will also be required to wear a GPS monitor, Sini said.
Cicale was released after posting $25,000 bail and didn't comment as left the courthouse.
His attorney, William Wexler, said Cicale had a stellar reputation and that the judge's wife was standing by him.
"Every judge, every lawyer respects him, and we just have to see how the process plays out," Wexler told reporters outside the courtroom.

While working on the recording of Radiohead's album A Moon Shaped Pool in the South of France, Donwood produced a series of original canvasses in response to the band's live recordings. While experimenting, the artist dug into the ground and these hollows were filled with water. The pools were then filled with pigments and then materials were used to lift these from the water. The completed pieces became records of a moment in time and of the atmosphere from where they were made.
Skulk is part of that collection.

Mindy answers: 1) A small pillow to hold against your tummy after the surgery. This was a life-saver to me after the surgery, both for getting in and out of bed, and for the travel home.
easy! So, make sure all your clothes and shoes are easy to get on and off.
3) They (the doctors) will give you some medication for pain, but you might want to bring along some ibuprofen just in case. They will also give you an antibiotic to prevent infection.
4) Bottled water and snacks.
Janel answers: We drove to Dr. Perez and back. We just allowed for more frequent stops and a longer time for the return trip.
Kelli answers: Mindy is right! Comfy clothes, slip on shoes, and lots of water. I would also recommend an extra day if you are traveling far! It makes the world of difference!
Mindy answers: This seems to be different for different people. I recovered much faster from the TR than I did my 2 c-sections. I do know, though, that MANY of us try to do too much too soon and often make our recovery longer as a result. I would plan to be off my feet for at least a week. Two after surgery tips that I found invaluable--I learned these from c-sections! Pillows--LOTS of pillows--like 5 or 6--in bed with you. If you can kind of make yourself a nest in bed and not lie down flat, it makes getting up MUCH easier and less painful. When we got back to our hotel in McAllen, my husband went to the desk and asked for 5 extra pillows, and it helped SO much. Secondly, a satin fitted sheet for your bed at home is GREAT! I use this both after surgery, during the latter stages of pregnancy, and after delivery. It makes getting in and out of bed so much easier, and also turning over simpler.
Janel answers: After leaving the hospital I took it easy for about ten days but some need more and some need less time than this.
Anonymous answers: I will be honest I have been more emotional and more hormonal since I had my tubal. But have heard from many that it will balance out very soon.
Kelli answers: I think this is more an individual thing then a general consensus. I personally have had a lot of relief from the PTLS symptoms I had. My cycles are more regular and less painful. Although initially after the surgery they were a mess! I think this is more because of your body trying to get used to having the hormones and blood flow it was lacking for so long.
Mindy answers: I would have to agree that things were actually "worse" in a way, after my TR--but mine had to do with my periods. My periods were more erratic and uncomfortable after the surgery. However, they have been much better since Hannah was born. Also, though, I really didn't have any physical PTLS symptoms. So, maybe that's why I didn't improve? I hesitated to answer this question because I don't want to be a stumbling block to anyone, or give anyone an excuse not to obey the Lord. Unfortunately, we have to face the consequences of our actions, whether they come after our tubal ligation, after the reversal surgery, or both! But the rewards of obeying Him are SO much greater than the consequences of the sin. And besides--every time I would be uncomfortable during my monthly cycle, I would remind myself that I was WHOLE again!
Kelli answers: This really varies from doctor to doctor. Most will want at least your post-op reports if they are available. The problem is some of them are just not as accurate as they ought to be. Many times people return from have their reversals only to say that the post-op report had inaccurate information in them. Please check with the doctor that you selected to perform your surgery and see what their preference is.
Janel answers: For Dr. Perez, yes these are required. And need to be sent to him in advance.
Kelli answers: This really varies from doctor to doctor too. It should be expected that the doctors may have this with tubal reversals, as it is an abdominal surgery. I have heard of some with them and some without. It is best to inquire with the doctor you select. We have never heard of one for a vas reversal patient though.
Kelli answers: Again this is up to the doctor. Some allow tubal reversal patients to have their husbands in the operating room. Dr. Perez did with our reversal. He even allows your husband to take picture or film the reversal. They all have their own preferences for their own reasons. Check with them! Most of the men that I know that have had vas reversals were able to have their wives in there too! Vas procedures seem to be done more commonly in the office then in the operating room and this seems to allow for more variance. Again, check with them!
Janel answers: Yes, in Mexico.
Kelli answers: This can depend on the amount of reconstruction that needs to be done and if any complications arise. It is something that everyone should realize is on a case by case basis. No one rule will fit for all patients, be them vas or tubal. If you call them, most all of the doctors will tell you what the "average" time frame is for normal circumstances. It is best when traveling to allow for an extra day or two just in case!
Janel answers: The typical stay in Mexico is 24 hrs. post-op. but I didn't get in at my scheduled time due to a baby being delivered. The actual surgery didn't happen until late in the evening instead of the usual 7am.
Kelli answers: This really varies from person to person. We recommend that you discuss this with your doctor when you begin to prepare for your reversal surgery. This will allow you to prepare for some extra time away if need be. Traveling too soon after surgery with out doctors approval can cause damage to what you just had repaired. Remember this is SURGERY, not a trip to a day spa! It is important that you follow your doctors advice and be good stewards of the blessing you have just had!
Kelli answers: This is a decision that is best kept between you and your spouse as the Lord leads. Some wait until they feel they are physically comfortable. Others don't wait at all. Some feel led to follow their doctors advice. The average advice seems to be about 2 weeks. As a ministry we can suggest prayerfully considering the doctors advice and following the Lords leadings. Having relations too soon can damage the repairs that you just had and put you at risk for infection. Remember this is surgery and should be treated as such!
Janel answers: I think we were told 3 months.
Kelli answers: This is a very personal and controversial decision to make. We recommend asking your doctor what his or her recommendation is and why. I asked my doctor why they recommended not conceiving for a couple months, and his response was that a growing baby can damage the healing tissues that are there from surgery. Being quiverfull minded can make this a very difficult choice. We do not believe in preventing pregnancy or "trying" to get pregnant. If you are having this done just to get pregnant you could be doing it for the wrong reasons! We suggest that you and your spouse bring this advice before the Lord and prayerfully consider it. The ultimate choice is yours, but remember there are consequences to those choices, so please listen for His voice in this.
Janel answers: I think we were told 6 months.
Janel Answers: I think that if the surgery is not successful, then the decision on what to do next would probably be different for each family. It's something that each person would have to spend time in prayer over.
Kelli answers: This is a chance that we all took when we took our bodies into our own hands and became sterilized. When we reached that point of repentance and accepted the Lord's leading to become quiverfull minded, we did so with the intent of restoring our fertility back to God. Giving back what was never ours to take. Being quiverfull minded is not about having babies, though we all agree that is a really nice side effect! What it is about is giving that control over to God, whether we have one, ten, or no reversal blessings. What we need to realize and understand is that this part of our body may never work again. It may be His will that our wombs remain closed. Some families are led to have second reversals and others not, it should be as the Lord leads. Prayerfully consider if you can accept this as you enter this journey. It is never as easy as you think...sometimes easier and sometimes not.
Janel answers: The only thing I can say is don't try to do too much too fast.
