Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan San Min (Chinese: 三民国民型中学,abbreviated as SMJK San Min or SMSM), which literally translates to San Min National Type Secondary School (or simply San Min Secondary School), is located in Teluk Intan in Perak, Malaysia. It was first established in 1929 and has since survived the many changes and hardships, including the Japanese Occupation, and attained many achievements. It was then classified as a National Type Secondary School after the enforcement of the Malaysian Education Act 1957.  It was first located beside Jalan Woo Saik Hong in the town area. In 1998, after receiving a plot of land from a generous Indian donor, the school had then moved to its current location beside Jalan Merbok (formerly Jalan Brewster) off Jalan Sultan Abdullah.

The name
The Name of the school is believed to have originated from Sun Yat-sen's Three Principles of the People (Chinese:三民主义). The Three Principles of the People can also be found in part of the school anthem, "兴民族兮,树民权兮,兴民生责任" (Literal translation: Live nationalism, build democracy, and live social responsibility).

History
Being the only National Type Secondary School in Hilir Perak, the school one of the hundred-odd secondary schools in Malaysia which enlist Chinese and Chinese Literature subject in their standard timetable. Prior to moving to the current location, the school compound was small and was in a deplorable condition. It was only able to provide secondary education up to PMR level. After moving to the current location, it started SPM classes and the school is now one of the biggest school in Teluk Intan with about 2,000 students.

The school keeps certain information about the student so that he/she can be contacted, so that previous study of the language and availability can be taken into account when counselling a course and to record on-going attainment in Amira's courses.
iv) specialised, for example, a course focusing entirely on legal or insurance terminology.
Collectively, options ii, iii, iv and v are called customised courses. Progress towards objectives is monitored at different points in the course.
Counsellors work with the students and corporate clients to pre-define their objectives. Clients are invited to sign agreement to written objectives, which are used to brief teachers. This is particularly important with customised courses.
A good teacher is a fundamental element in the success of a language course. Verification of teachers means examining qualifications, experience, language test scores, interview screening, insertion into the school and on-going monitoring of performance. Amira takes great care to ensure the professionalism and competence of its teachers.
Basic to its success is that when Amira gives courses to teachers it does so with a defined set of course objectives, the number of hours in which to achieve them and with a series of monitoring steps pre-defined.
This is either standard or customised following the course objectives. Selection of non-standard course material is made by the responsible counsellor in consultation with the teacher(s) and director of teaching who gives agreement as to budget and appropriateness for the objectives.
The directors' quality management role is to review the exceptions and other outputs from the quality system as well as the training needs of those who maintain the structure. Particularly, directors are responsible for the recruitment of teachers.
Counsellors' day to day role is to maintain the pedagogical operation of the school. Counsellors are all qualified and experienced teachers, who are also trained in pedagogical counselling. So your first contact at Amira is with an educational expert who can help you decide your needs.
Counsellors advise clients, students and teachers as to the best choice of programme.
Basic to a correct placement and / or setting of objectives is a good test of current language ability. The school gives written and oral tests. They are verified by the continuous feedback from students joining courses. Exceptions are logged.
These form the basis for continuation with the next level. The school keeps records of students' success in its courses.
The school maintains a structure of regular feedback from teachers concerning the progress made by each student. The completeness of feedback reports is monitored regularly and the results held at the school.
Students' TQM evaluations are recorded and analysed using a computer system. Evaluations are reviewed at the regular quality management meetings.
The timetable - and location of a course on "deplacement" - are pre-agreed with the client. On a flexible private lessons course where the student can cancel a session one day before, the precise timetable is fixed with the teacher. The number of hours taught by a teacher are reported periodically to the school and verified for accuracy against the authorised hours for the course.
The school maintains a series of systems to ensure that documents specifying course objectives are dealt with logically. For example, all the educational management documents relating to a company where there are several group courses are filed together for easy reference.
(iv) to assist career planning.
The Director of Teaching as well as the Counsellors maintain a close personal awareness of the needs and abilities of each teacher.

Sharpen your blue pencil: the doctrine of severance in employment cases
15 August 2019. Published by Kelly Thomson, Partner and Patrick Brodie, Partner
King George V sat on the throne when our highest court last considered post-employment restrictive covenants (1). Pervasive wartime controls were in place to regulate labour. Employment protection legislation was non-existent. The world was a very different place.
Over the intervening 100 years, the law on restrictive covenants developed and changed but no case made it beyond the Court of Appeal.
Fast–forward to 2019. The last vestiges of the master/servant labour model are firmly consigned to the history books. The individual contract of employment is without doubt the cornerstone of modern labour relations in the UK. Supplementing this relationship is a rich tapestry of statutory employment protections woven over some 60 years. Our working world is global, competitive and increasingly digital. Now, more than ever, information, goodwill and trade connections are a highly prized commodity for almost every business.
Background to a landmark case
In Tillman v Egon Zehnder Ltd [2019] UKSC 32, one such business asked the Supreme Court to reconsider the law and to change it to be fit for modern day purposes. In its landmark judgment handed down in July, the Supreme Court has done so.
The core facts of the case are not unusual. Egon Zehnder (EZ) is a global specialist executive search and recruitment business. EZ recruited Mary-Caroline Tillman in 2004. As the High Court judge observed, the company regarded Ms Tillman as "a bit special". She was recruited into a senior role on a salary of £120,000 and first year bonus of £100,000 and then rose steadily through the ranks of the organisation. By 2012, Ms Tillman was joint global head of the company's financial services practice and a shareholder in the Swiss holding company.
What did Ms Tillman promise?
Reflecting the nature of her work and the risks to the interests of the business,
Ms Tillman's contract of employment contained a number of restrictive covenants. The particular covenant which became the subject of the dispute was a six-month non-compete clause under which Ms Tillman promised that she would not:
"directly or indirectly engage or be concerned or interested in any business carried on in competition with any of the businesses of the company or any group
Was Ms Tillman's promise valid?
Times moved on and, on 30 January 2017, Ms Tillman and EZ parted ways.
Ms Tillman then informed EZ that she intended to join Russell Reynolds Associates (RRA), a competitor of EZ. She planned to start work on 1 May 2017, when the non-compete covenant would still be running.
To square this circle, Ms Tillman alleged that her non-compete promise was void in restraint of trade, arguing that the words "interested in any business" captured a minority shareholding in a company and that this made the covenant too broad. Interestingly, Ms Tillman had no intention of holding shares in RRA but this, of course, was irrelevant to the legal construction of the theoretical reach of the covenant on its face.
In any event, the High Court disagreed with Ms Tillman and granted EZ an injunction restraining her from joining RRA for the life of the covenant. Mann J held that "interested in" in the restriction did not capture a shareholding in RRA and, therefore, the clause was not too broad.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal disagreed with Mann J and decided that a minority shareholding was indeed caught. EZ argued that, in that case, the offending words should be severed from the clause so that the parties' bargain that Ms Tillman would not work for RRA for six months could be upheld. The Court of Appeal refused severance. The whole covenant would fall.
EZ appealed to the Supreme Court.
Role of severance in holding parties to their bargain
Having decided that the restraint of trade doctrine was engaged and agreeing with the Court of Appeal's construction of the clause, the Supreme Court turned to the question of severance to determine whether the covenant could be saved.
The decision would stand or fall on the outcome of three interrelating doctrines:
Ordinary canons of contract law dictate that parties will be held to their bargain.
However, the doctrine of restraint of trade places a significant limitation on that principle by holding restrictive covenants void unless they reasonably protect a legitimate business interest. This is a fairly blunt instrument in redressing the real (or, sometimes, perceived) power imbalance between employer and employee.
Militating against this "all or nothing" outcome is the doctrine of severance, allowing ancillary objectionable provisions to be removed from a contract without affecting the overall enforceability of the core bargain.
The balance between these principles is delicate and crucial.
Striking too far one way risks condoning employers deliberately drafting overly wide covenants.
But striking too far the other way risks the draconian effect of bulldozing legitimate promises between parties. As Lord Wilson observed: "High-ranking employees can do particular damage to the legitimate interests of their employers following termination of their employment; and it may be that, when they enter into their post-employment covenants, they are able to negotiate with their employers on nearly an equal footing."
Severance: a different approach in employment cases?
Severance is a doctrine of general contract law, not specific to the employment field. However, over the last century, a body of case law had built up which placed a more restrictive, employee-friendly approach to severance in employment contracts. The high watermark was the Court of Appeal's judgment in Attwood v Lamont [1920] 3 KB 571. Younger LJ, whose judgment became the leading judgment, held that severance in the post-employment context was only available where a covenant was "not really a single covenant but in effect a combination of several distinct covenants" and where the part severed was merely trivial or technical.
In contrast to Attwood, the Court of Appeal in Beckett Investment Management Group Ltd v Hall [2007] EWCA Civ 613, took a different approach and agreed to sever wording in circumstances where it could not be regarded as a separate covenant.
The Court of Appeal in the EZ case had followed Attwood in refusing to sever "interested in" from the covenant because "it must be doubtful whether parts of a single covenant can be deleted without the contract becoming 'not the sort of contract that the parties entered into at all'".
Supreme Court makes new law
In overruling the Court of Appeal, Lord Wilson, with whom the other judges agreed, decided to overturn Attwood and allow the words "interested in" to be severed from the covenant, upholding the remainder in EZ's favour.
Following Egon Zehnder, the three criteria for severance are:
That the unenforceable provision can be removed without adding to or modifying the remaining wording (the "blue pencil test").
That the remaining terms continue to be supported by adequate consideration.
That the removal of the unenforceable provision would not generate any major change in the overall effect of all the post-employment restraints in the contract.
The right balance
The Supreme Court has endorsed a modern approach to severance. This is not, as some commentators have perhaps suggested, a charter for employers to draft sloppily with impunity. On the contrary, severance is only available if the court is satisfied that what remains makes sense, has consideration and is still (in all major senses) the promise the parties entered into. The burden remains on the employer to prove its legitimate business interest and that the covenant (absent any offending words) is reasonable and not a different promise. This strikes the right balance between the competing doctrines and sensibly reflects the changed (and changing) nature of the working world.
RPC represented Egon Zehnder Ltd in the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court in this case.

"We are all by nature made in the same way in everything, both foreigners and Greeks."
- Antiphon, Athenian Orator, 479-411 BCE
Coalition supporters have settled here from a number of different countries and, not surprisingly, possess a diversity of professional, technical and personal experience.
We are a group of like minded individuals who love living in Cyprus but are acutely aware of the problems that surround us and want to do something about them in order to help the community at large.
We are not beholden to any other group or political party although we have been successful in creating strong links to other groups who share our aims.
We are just a group of volunteers who wanted to do more than just complain, who wanted to get involved and do something.
We are not seeking to change the world or, even worse, to recreate it in the image of the countries we left behind.
We just want the law to be enforced and applied equally to all. Just like many Cypriots who feel the same way .
We feel that the most effective way to achieve this is by means of democratically elected representation on the local council . To this end, in the autumn of 2006, we created a new "Coalition of Independents" so as to participate in the December 2006 local election. We are not a political party.
In our very first year we succeeded in getting one of our most active members, Linda Leblanc, a Canadian and Cypriot citizen, elected to Pegeia Council, the first foreign-born citizen and the first woman to achieve this. In the Dec. 2011 local election, Linda was re-elected to a second term with a 30% increase in the vote. She was re-elected in Dec. 2016 to a third term of office.
Having experienced years of little or no communication, we wanted a representative on Pegeia Council so that we could find out what was going on. Now in our 12th year on the Council, we feel our record demonstrates our ability to provide timely information about important quality of life issues (town planning, cleanliness, water, taxes and other community services). Some key areas on which we have achieved improvements are financial accountability, transparency and the public's right to information, especially with respect to planning and public Council meetings. We still have a long way to go.
· A fresh voice calling for open, transparent, representative government
· A long-term commitment to a clean and sustainable community
· Better communication with residents about important Pegeia issues
· Monthly open meetings to discuss Pegeia topics
· Regular news updates by email
· "Surgeries" for issues that The Coalition might be able to help with

Nearly 5 Lakh Homes Worth ₹4.5 Lakh Crores Delayed/Incomplete in Top Indian Cities
Nearly 5 Lakh Homes Worth ₹4.5 Lakh Crores Delayed/Incomplete in Top
Construction & completion works of nearly 5 lakh homes which add up to ₹4.5 lakh crores has been left stuck or is experiencing significantly long delays, these houses are mostly situated across India's top 7 seven cities – Delhi NCR, Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Pune & Hyderabad. Builders & developers have finished works for approximately 37,000 units this year, according to property consultant firm Anarock, for the research conducted by Anarock, only projects that were launched in India's top 7 cities before or during 2014 were considered.
According to the data collected by Anarock group, approximately 4.9 lakh residential units worth ₹4, 49,127 crores have been suspended in various phases of construction across India's top 7 cities. At the end of last year, real-estate markets of these top cities in the country had nearly 5.2 lakh units worth more than ₹4.85 crores suspended during construction & faced with lengthy delays in construction. Developers meanwhile are still committed to completing the projects & are focusing on capitalizing the demand for ready-to-possess homes. The data indicated that 37,000 incomplete units were finally completed in the first 5 months of this year (January – May 2022).
Prashant Thakur, Senior Director & Head -Research at Anarock said "it is notable is that they are maintaining momentum despite considerable headwinds from increased input costs, which have gone through the roof in the last 5 months. The fact that housing demand has remained strong in last two years obviously is a plus point." State-owned NBCC, SWAMIH & several large developers have taken over stuck projects/delayed inventories and are completing pending works so that the incomplete units can be sold/handed-over.
City Incomplete Units at End of 2021 Value of Incomplete Units at End of 2021 Incomplete Units at End of May 2022 Value of Incomplete Units at End of May 2022 Units Completed During January – May 2022

Personal injury can be a legal expression utilized to represent every type of accidents including actual or emotional injury, condition or disease. The term identifies all injuries linked to accident at the job or inside home; whiplash injuries, injury caused as a result of road targeted traffic accident, psychological injury as a result of discrimination or perhaps gender pestering, damaging regarding bone construction, brain or perhaps limbs, injury due to slipping, tripping or dropping, injury caused as a result of use regarding defective products or devices, psychological injury with regards to stress at the job, injury as a result of medical neglect and actual or emotional injury as a result of engagement inside crime.
A personal injury car wreck is probably the important factors in path traffic accidents that a lot of people experience. Since the particular frequency regarding population will be increasing around the globe at a great alarming fee, therefore, the path traffic accidents may also be rising at about the identical rate. Latest figures show that 1000s of accidents occur around the day-to-day schedule and inside those casualties, a lot of people experience a personal injury.
There are usually several causes of the growing variety of injury promises. Mostly individuals traveling collide or perhaps hit together with another car, animal, shrub, pedestrian, pothole and also any removable or repaired object. When this happens, they must face accidental injury by means of whiplash, any injury linked to some physique part or any damages connected with property or perhaps a vehicle. Under these kinds of circumstances also to meet people expenses, anyone asks to get an injury state compensation for the insurance business. Same could be the case with individuals who face accident at the job or virtually any injury as a result of medical neglect. The goal regarding settlement claims regarding injuries is always to receive a sum for continuing health care bills, surgery, reconstruction or live any life when he/she struggles to work for your specified moment.
Accidental injury claim solicitor provides legitimate representation for the organizations, government agencies plus a person experiencing any actual or emotional injury or perhaps accident simply by some neglect or misconduct of another individual. Therefore although deciding for your perfect accidental injury claim attorney at law, the person or even a company need to get full information relating to experience, specialization and perhaps the solicitor provides passed composed bar assessment and composed ethics assessment or not necessarily.
Conduct excellent research around the insurance firm's claim method.
Since the particular claim solicitor usually takes time inside getting every one of the desired details, the particular person must present patience together with polite calls and correspondence.
Usually, solicitor have a handful of flexibility if they deal with all the payment sums so make an effort to negotiate by using an amount that you think will be reasonable.
For hiring accidental injury lawyers, it will be better in the event you ask this from the friends and also associates.
Meet the maximum amount of lawyers that you can for original discussions.
Compare the particular fees and also experiences with the lawyers.
Make an endeavor to reconcile your claim beyond your court. If the claim can not be settled beyond your court, then select the demo.
Release the particular guilty get together after obtaining the given amount although if you believe is a smaller amount at afterward stages with the treatment or perhaps therapy.
In these days, personal injuries claims will be rising extremely rapidly specifically claims linked to a personal injury car wreck. The reason for here is the increase inside population, traffic and also hurry that all person is associated with. But simply those claims be successful that requires a health-related report. Without a medical record, it will be difficult somewhat impossible to be able to win a particular claim.

Q: Hdd speed goes lower. 2 Internal HDD hey i was using 320gb hdd today i install 1tb another hdd.
after that 1tb hdd get 180mb/s but 320gb gets 99mb ? why? and isnt both should get 180mb/s?
using both sata2 cable

/dev/sdb:  Timing cached reads:   7556 MB in  2.00 seconds = 3778.75
  MB/sec  Timing buffered disk reads: 544 MB in  3.00 seconds = 181.08
  MB/sec :~$ sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
/dev/sda:  Timing cached reads:   7582 MB in  2.00 seconds = 3791.37
  MB/sec  Timing buffered disk reads: 300 MB in  3.01 seconds =  99.69
  MB/sec :~$ sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

A: All else being equal (such as RPM and interface), larger capacity drives usually have higher throughput for one simple reason- more bits pass under the read/write head for each revolution.

About Laser Sports
Laser Tag is a high-tech sport where players wear computerised vests and have handheld phasers and attempt to achieve a high score by tagging other players, base stations & other targets within our amazing multi-level arena.
What protective clothing or footwear is required?
After players put on their game packs and have been briefed, the game is started by one of our Marshalls. The pack is activated and allows the player to fire their phaser at opponents and devices within the Arena. Each pack has sensors on the phaser (Front and back of the pack and on the shoulders). Tagging these areas will gain points to the attacking player while deactivating the tagged player for a few seconds. After the game has finished, the packs shut down automatically and players return to the armoury room. Score information is downloaded from the packs to the central computer and displayed on the scoreboard.
How many people can play at Code Red Laser Tag?
Code Red can accommodate up to 30 players in each game.
Are there any age restrictions on playing Laser Tag?
Code Red has a minimum age of 6 years old. (Children 6 years old can play if accompanied by an adult). There is no maximum age to play the game – even grandparents can have a go.
Players under 16 years of age will need an adult (18 years or old) to be on the premise for the duration of the event.
Do you need to be physically fit to play Laser Tag?
Laser Tag can be played at your own pace. There is no reason to be rushing around the areas (in fact, we don't allow you to run). As long as you are comfortable with light walking for 15 minutes and you can walk up our ramps, then you're probably fit enough to play. Of course, as only you can be a judge of whether you are able to play – the final responsibility rests with you.
Is Laser Tag played in the dark?
Laser Tag is played in a darkened environment, but it is not pitch black. The arena is well lit with backlights which allow the fluorescent paints & materials to glow brightly. Your eyes soon become adjusted to the light level so you are able to see quite well.
Are protective glasses worn during play?
No. The lasers used in the game are very low power and only flash for a very brief time. The equipment has been tested to meet appropriate standards of safety for lasers around the world.
I have played Paintball – does Laser Tag also hurt when you are hit by another player?
No. Laser Tag is harmless. The only way you know you have been tagged is when your pack tells you (vibrates) and it has shut down.
Can we play Laser Tag as a team?
Yes. Code Red Laser Tag may be played as either an individual game or as a team game. We can play up to 7 teams at a time. It enables players to think about tactics & teamwork.

It's fantastic news. Following a major campaign from Cancer Research UK, Parliament yesterday passed a new law to protect under-18s from sunbeds.
The Sunbeds (Regulation) Act will come into force in 12 months time and opens the door to making sure all sunbed salons will have to be staffed and provide accurate health information on the dangers of sunbeds.
The Act was introduced as a Private Member's Bill by Julie Morgan MP in December 2009. It's very rare for a Private Member's Bill to actually become law but in this case, the evidence was overwhelming.
Thanks to the support from all the main parties, it was passed yesterday in the 'wash-up' in Parliament.
A key part of the evidence MPs considered was research recently published in the British Medical Journal by Catherine Thomson in our Statistical Information Department. It found that a quarter of a million children in England between the ages of 11 and 17 regularly use sunbeds.
Taken together with the fact that the International Association for Research on Cancer (IARC) now classifies sunbeds at the same cancer-causing level as tobacco, and that the intensity of some UV rays from sunbeds being up to 10-15 times higher than that of the midday sun, the case was hard to ignore.
Even so, we'd like to thank all our supporters who took the time to write to their MPs to ask them to support the bill – it wouldn't have been possible without you.
And special thanks to Julie Morgan MP and Baroness Finlay for sponsoring the Bill, and to long term sunbeds campaigner Sian James MP, for all their fantastic work on this crucial issue.
Dear Robbie, If you have been a sunbed user and you discover you have melanoma as a result – you would be saying, "why did no one tell me it was serious?" You might even say, as I have heard users say "why are are sun bed salons allowed, when they cause people to need this awful surgery and leave these awful scars?" People use sun beds to look good – so discovering that they leave you feeling very unhappy about the way you look and convinced you won't ever wear a short skirt or a swimsuit again, is not what they paid the money for. If you are lucky and notice a change quickly, you will get off with a tiny thin scar, but lots of people are not that lucky. Wise up, enjoy life without piling up problems for you and worry for those that love you.
Ines – thanks for your support. If you do go for 'natural' sun exposure, make sure you follow our SunSmart advice – UV from the sun can still cause cancer-causing damage if you're not careful!
I am absolutely delighted with this news. I was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2006 and have been helping CRUK to help raise awareness of skin cancer and the dangers of sunbeds via Sunsmart. We need to make more people aware of the dangers of skin cancer and I myself have had great feedback from people who I know and strangers in the street, who did not realise the damage that can be caused. So even though the sun is shining, at the moment, people need to be aware and Sunsmart can do just that.


During the summer break of 2018/2019 (19 November 2018 – 15 February 2019) the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) will offer five, eight-week Summer Scholarships to students who have completed at least two years of study in Arts, and are planning to do honours or a research higher degree. The scholarships are for research work under the supervision of a member or affiliate of the Institute.
You will have access to facilities and materials that may not be readily available elsewhere.
Non-UQ enrolled students (international and domestic) who are not based in Brisbane or who do not reside within 100km of the Institute may apply for a one-off payment of $1000 per student to subsidise travel and accommodation expenses.
The main goal of this scholarship is to help students design, execute, and complete a research project, such as a thesis chapter or article, or a prospectus for a larger project.
This project is open to applications from students with a broad background in the humanities, e.g history, philosophy, literary studies, religious studies, media studies or cultural studies. We are particularly interested in third-year or honours students, with plans to do further research in the humanities, but second-year students are also welcome to apply.
Please contact Dr Trish Ross (t.ross@uq.edu.au) to discuss your potential research project. Dr Ross will then direct you to a suitable supervisor within IASH who will work with you to develop a project proposal/application.
A listing of Summer Scholars can be found here.


President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani, as he has often done during his representation of the president, has gone public to set things straight after making a statement on cable news that raised eyebrows.
Giuliani, in case you missed it over the weekend, told CNN's Jake Tapper that maybe Trump did or maybe Trump didn't talk to Michael Cohen before Cohen lied to Congress about the Moscow Project. Giuliani then said that even if Trump did speak to Cohen it's a "so what" situation.
So, what Giuliani decided to do on Monday in an interview with the New York Daily News was walk that back. He made sure to give a definitive answer this time.
The Giuliani comments were made after BuzzFeed News claimed that special counsel Robert Mueller has evidence that Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress about how long negotiations from Trump Tower Moscow ("The Moscow Project") went on. Saying that the talks ended in Jan. 2016 was a lie, Cohen admitted. Instead, talks continued into June 2016, months before the election. The BuzzFeed report took things a step further by alleging that Trump told Cohen to lie in Sept. 2017.
That was a first. Cohen, unlike in the Southern of District of New York case against him, did not say that Trump "directed" him to commit a crime.
"BuzzFeed's description of specific statements to the Special Counsel's Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen's Congressional testimony are not accurate," spokesman Peter Carr said. BuzzFeed, for its part, is standing by the story.
In any event, it took Giuliani a bit on Friday to respond to the report, and he dismissed it as categorically false, "totally phony" and fake news. By Sunday, Giuliani was saying the Trump-Cohen talks didn't happen, but even if they did it's "totally normal." This is a familiar defense from Giuliani (i.e. it didn't happen, but if it did it's not a crime).

Q: How to keep a winform responsive while a heavy painting is underway My program draws heavily on a winform. During the drawing, the winform is not responding. How to make it responding to my mouse? I want to use another thread to draw to the winform, but I am afraid I am going to meet the infamous cross-threads-access-conrtrol error.

A: Here is a great MSDN article that might help you: Give Your .NET-based Application a Fast and Responsive UI with Multiple Thread
When I was facing similar problems, it helped me a great deal to understand what to do.
Also, you might want to have a look at Parallel Programming in .NET Framework 4. This series also includes a strategy with calculations that are spread over multiple synchronized threads, all with using out-of-the-box .NET collections. This is not as complicatesd as it may sound. Just give it a try. :-)
Also, if you have the chance to use the upcoming .NET enhancements, it would be worth to try Asynchronous Programming with Async and Await

A: If the problem is GDI+ painting you can do all of your drawing on a separate bitmap in a separate thread (instead of drawing directly to screen) - and when you're done: copy the whole bitmap onto the form.

A: You can use BackgroundWorker class to keep your winform responsive. MSDN.

A: The problem is when you are performing UI stuff. You have to come back into the UI thread to do so. All I could recommend, is drawing a bit, letting the UI thread process any events, draw again a bit.
Thats probably the best way round, but it isnt easy to do ... Far less easier than just running non UI jobs in another thread ...

BROCK NAMED INTERIM COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
January 9, 2019 Ian Lundin
January 9, 2019 Dick Mangrum
Amanda Brock, longtime executive assistant in the county administrator's office, will be the new interim county administrator for the foreseeable future. After an executive session of nearly an hour on Tuesday, the County Council unanimously approved Brock for the position. Brock will replace Rick Martin, who has served as interim administrator since the resignation of Scott Moulder last spring to become city administrator of Seneca. Martin will return to his previous position as director of the county rock quarry,but will, according to county attorney David Root, receive the elevated pay scale he was paid during his interim administration until the end of April. Brock will also receive a raise of undisclosed amount during the time she serves as interim administrator and for three months after the period ends, according to Root. The purpose of the arrangement, according to Root, is "to ensure a smooth transition to a new administrator or interim administrator." The appointment becomes vital upon Brock's written acceptance, Root said. The Council currently has three final candidates to fill the open administrator slot but a vote on a choice has been delayed since last fall. Brock, a former newspaper reporter with the Journal, began her employment with Oconee County in 2002 as an executive assistant to former county supervisor Ann Hughes. She was executive assistant to Scott Moulder throughout his nearly eight year tenure.

I am Sent
Sent Book
Ways on Mission
"So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off."
— Acts 13:3
Well, the Ways have some pretty big news - at least it's big for us. We're moving. We have been praying as a family and with our Boiler Room leadership throughout the summer and fall, and believe that the Lord is sending us out to the nations as workers in His harvest. We are personally thrilled and expectant - and a bit nervous and sometimes overwhelmed. Obviously parting with our kids will be an extremely trying and sad thing for us, but we are confident in the Father's grace and leading. We are incredibly happy that Philip and Hannah will be going with us. They will be important parts of our mission team and we're so so happy to be doing this with them. Peter and Nathan will be holding down the fort in Tulsa, and we'll look forward with great anticipation to any time we get to be re-united with them. Rebekah is also planning to be sent out as a missionary, and has her eyes set on Thailand.
By God's grace, we're planning to move back to Uganda.
Last year, in partnership with the Tulsa Boiler Room, we started a missions organization called Sent. This is a ministry of the Boiler Room but also has a wider sphere of operations and networking. Our ambition is to send missionaries in partnership with other local churches for the work of making disciples of all nations. Sent has a leader team that will oversee our work and the work of others who will go out through this organization. As a missions organization, we focus on making disciples through planting reproducible churches. Our heart's desire is to see movements of disciples making disciples and churches planting churches as a way of reaching many with the love and truth of Jesus.
In Uganda, we have four areas of activity that all feed into the above vision of making disciples by planting reproducing churches:
1 Prayer. We look forward to praying in Africa for Africa to be reached with the Gospel, and to do what we can to mobilize others to this great endeavor. We anticipate retaining our connection with 24-7 Prayer, and look forward to partnering with them in new ways in this new work.
2 Training National Workers. We intend to set up training programs to equip workers in reproducible, simple church planting.
3 Equipping Missionaries. We plan to incorporate residencies and apprenticing for missionaries into all we do, providing on-the-field equipping for those called into missions.
4 National Collaboration. We are already working towards helping to form a national team of high-impact Ugandan leaders who will work together to form a strategy for reaching the nation and beyond with the gospel and to further strengthen the existing churches.
Our target is to be in Uganda by August of 2021. Obviously, there are a lot of moving parts and a lot of things we cannot predict, not least the ongoing effects of the COVID pandemic. We are busy seeking the Lord, making plans, and working to be ready to go. We will hold these plans lightly while at the same time being diligent and persistent in pursuing them.
We plan to have some events - locally in Tulsa as well as online - in which we will share more about our plans. These will be early in the new year, and we'll keep you posted. In the meantime, it would be fantastic to hear from you. In order to get on our emailing list or find out how to partner with us financially, follow the links below:


...Re: Toyota moving to Texas. I sent it to the drafts. We can't respond to you, we'll respond to the original post. Don't like the post? Fine. Don't know what it has to do with Jalopnik? It's major automaker news, with a cute Jalopnik spin. Don't like it? Don't read it.
Feel free to post something that links to the article you don't agree with, don't understand, or feel doesn't represent the brand, but let's not just share the article with a new lead and then get people responding to the original article who are trying to respond to you.

Maldives ranked world's most Instagrammed tourist location
m@ldives 289 views February 28, 2021
The most Instagrammed tourist locations in the world have been revealed – with the Maldives taking the top spot on the photo sharing platform.
Travel experts from My Baggage found the archipelago in the Indian Ocean, a firm favourite with social media influencers, had been tagged almost nine million times with #Maldives.
Paris's Eiffel Tower was found to be the second most Instagrammed tourist hotspot with 6.5 million hashtags while New York's Times Square came in third with 4.4 million hashtags.
With more than 95 million photos uploaded on Instagram daily, the new research looked at the overall number of hashtags for tourist attractions.
The Maldives currently boasts 8.8 million hashtags and images uploaded to the photo-sharing website – more than any other tourist destination or attraction around the globe.
France's Eiffel Tower scooped second place, with 6.5 million photos shared on Instagram with the attraction's hashtag, followed by Times Square in New York with 4.4million images.
With limited options available for holidaying amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the Maldives has become the destination of choice for many, including influencers.
While many holidaymakers decided to go on a staycation within the country, the Instagram profiles of many celebrities were filled with photos from their vacation in the Maldives, putting the island nation in the spotlight.
"The Covid pandemic has brought about a new appreciation for travel," Paul Stewart, Managing Director of My Baggage, said.
"With various worldwide lockdowns bringing a halt to many holidays for Brits, a strong feeling of wanderlust is creeping in, with many of us eager to pack our bags and head to the next bucket-list destination."
Closer to the UK, in a list of 20 must-visit tourist attractions, London offers some Instagrammable tourist hotspots. With Big Ben in sixth place with 3 million hashtags, followed by Tower Bridge in ninth place with 2.4 million and then Hyde Park in tenth place with 2.2 million hashtags.
And the USA boasts the highest number of attractions from one country with Times Square, The Grand Canyon, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State Building, and The Statue of Liberty all featuring in the list.
"Naturally, with Instagram becoming the new photo album for travellers, many draw travel inspiration from this social platform, such as the Eiffel Tower in France. While many of us wish we could visit France, we find ourselves in lockdown inside our homes. While inside, we are using our phones more, and social media and digital usage has increased in the past year. 2020 has truly been a digital year as accessibility has improved and our desired holiday destination is just a click away," Steward added.
"This got the team at My Baggage thinking, what are the most Insta-worthy destinations in the world right now? So, we researched the total hashtags of the top 20 tourist hotspots in the world."
The Maldives reopened its borders on July 15.
With the border reopening, 30-day free on-arrival visa is issued to all tourists with a confirmed booking for a stay at any registered tourist facility in the country.
There is no mandatory quarantine or testing on arrival, but tourists have to complete an online health declaration form and provide a negative PCR test result taken at least 96 hours prior to their departure.
Visitors with symptoms of the Covid-19 respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus or those travelling with someone who has similar symptoms are also tested at their own expense.

The Magic Christmas Tree
by Carolyn Irby
Little Carolyn lives in a world which may seem, by contemporary standards, lost to us. Her Pa and Ma, along with little brother Jimmy and Old Pa, her beloved but sickly grandpa, live together in their simple home, surrounded by little more than their devotion and affection for one another. It is nearing Christmas, and Old Pa, fighting his troubling cough, goes to work for Mr. Tinsley, the penny-pinching, grumpy, old man who owns Tinsleys Tree Market. Old Pas eye is set on a four-foot Christmas tree he wants to get for his darling granddaughter, Carolyn, who has never had a tree at Christmas. After all of Old Pas work, however, mean Mr. Tinsley will give him only a little two-inch tree. But when Old Pa arrives home with the tiny tree in the trunk of his old, beat-up car, Carolyn dances with joy. That night after the family is in bed, Carolyn tiptoes downstairs to admire her beautiful, little tree. She speaks gently to it, telling her delicate, little Christmas tree of her wishes for her familys long life together, for Old Pas health, for a Christmas turkey with all the fixings. In the morning, the family rushes downstairs to the surprise and delight of a Christmas they have never yet known. In The Magic Christmas Tree, Carolyn Irby captures the wonder of a young childs faith, through which Christmas is reborn for Carolyn and her family, for us all.

In the face of widespread criticism of the lack of ACTA transparency, participating governments and music industry lobbyists have claimed that the transparency issue is much ado about nothing. As governments seek to keep relevant information secret, those same governments released a joint statement last week arguing that "it is accepted practice during trade negotiations among sovereign states to not share negotiating texts with the public at large, particularly at earlier stages of the negotiation."
EFF's Eddan Katz posts a great U.S. legislative analysis of ACTA complete with dozens of links to underlying documents and reports.

Education is a life-long process and has a crucial role in the economic and social development of Europe. From pre-school to adult education, women and men continue to encounter gender stereotypes and discrimination that can have a profound impact on their educational choices and career paths. Dismantling these barriers would put an end to education segregation by gender.

A blessed Gursikh mother I know told me that when she was deeply, deeply in a state of Vairag (sadness at being separated from God), that she had one thought on her mind, day and night, and that was to have Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's darshan. One night guests came and they slept in the bedrooms and the Gursikh took the couch downstairs. Lying down, under the covers in the dark room, her meditation, her desperation reached a peak. Blinding, power light and love burst open inside her mind – it was Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's radiance. Afterwards she noticed that she had sweated profusely because of Guru Ji's overwhelming power.
Penji are you sure the opening line is from page 1202.
To tell you the truth, I'm not sure, I saw the passage on "Quote of the Moment" on Mr.Sikhnet's blog. If someone knows please due share.

Regional and National History
Title given to the revolution of 1688–9, which resulted in the 'abdication' of James II and the succession of William III and Mary II. Participants had differing objectives. Tories and Anglican clergy wanted to stop James undermining the church. Whigs aimed to depose James and limit the powers of the crown. Ordinary people detested James for his catholicism. William needed to remove a potential ally of Louis XIV and lead England into the war against France that had just begun.
In June 1688 William instigated an invitation from two Tories, four Whigs, and Bishop Compton to intervene. The birth that month of an infant prince to James had transformed the political future: he would succeed James in place of Mary (his eldest, protestant daughter, married to William). William's intervention was necessitated by the size of James's professional army. However, William was promised that most of its officers would defect. When this happened soon after William landed at Torbay on 5 November James found that he could not fight a battle. Demoralized, James tried to fly the country but was stopped. A second successful escape to France was the direct result of William's pressure. This left a vacuum. The Bill of Rights (1689) followed the Whig formula, construing James's flight as abdication, declaring the throne vacant, and William and Mary as joint sovereigns.

Students at BSU learn that there are consequences for their actions, whether positive or negative. Primary teachers at BSU use "Class Dojo" when rewarding or sanctioning a child. This online site assigns each student an avatar with their name. Students can either earn or lose points according their behaviour. The behaviours can be modified to suit each individual teacher's needs. A report can then be sent to the parents highlighting where their child behaved well, and where their behaviour needs to improve. Parents can download the Class Dojo app and they will be informed immediately when their child receives or loses a dojo. This system is adopted across all Primary classes and is a popular tool amongst the students.


Dr. Amishi Jha is an associate professor of neuroscience at he University of Miami.
MIDDLEBURY, Vt. — While it is implicit that the practice of mindfulness can improve a person's attention span, cognitive neuroscientist Amishi Jha also showed that mindfulness can have other far-reaching benefits during her keynote address for the Clifford Symposium at Middlebury College on September 22.
The practice of mindfulness can also have positive effects upon an individual's physical health, mental condition, and interpersonal relationships, the associate professor from the University of Miami explained to more than 250 students, faculty, staff and community members gathered at Robison Hall in the Mahaney Center for the Arts.
Her illustrated, 50-minute lecture, which was also simulcast to a gathering at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, discussed what is mindfulness, showed the connection between mindfulness and attention, explained some of the myths about mindfulness, and touched upon research being performed on the topic, including work in her own laboratory.
Jha defined mindfulness as "a mental mode characterized by attention to the present moment experience without conceptual elaboration or emotional reactivity." Mindfulness is not a way to shut down all thoughts, nor is it a deep breathing exercise, a relaxation technique, or way to achieve a special state of being. It is, on the other hand, a way that a wandering mind can be controlled to improve concentration and enhance learning.
Mindfulness has been shown to minimize pain, reduce hypertension, lessen the effects of anxiety and PTSD, and improve marital and workplace relationships, Jha said.
But given that her talk was part of a three-day symposium titled "Fully Present: The Art and Science of Mindful Engagement," and that her own topic was "Strengthening the Brain's Attention System with Mindfulness Training," the guest speaker kept circling back to the benefits of mindfulness training for students in higher education.
Mindfulness training helps students build "cognitive resilience" and strengthen their focus on their academics. Professor Jha demonstrated a mindfulness training exercise by asking audience members to sit comfortably for a few moments and concentrate only on their breathing. Do not let your mind wander, she said; try to shut out all thoughts and think only about how the cool air passes through your nostrils or how the very act of breathing affects your body.
Middlebury President Laurie L. Patton introduced Amishi Jha and said she is excited about the neuroscientist's work "and its implications for us in higher education." We are learning how best to promote resilience among students "by using contemplative mind-training techniques that strengthen the brain's attention networks," the president said.
The 2016 Clifford Symposium was organized to promote engagement and dialogue "to create a common conversation, a common sense of purpose, and, in the case of mindfulness, a sense of common practice" among all sectors of the Middlebury community, Patton added.
During the symposium there was a lecture on the discipline of looking, and panel discussions about mindfulness in performance, mindfulness in the lives of students, and ways to teach mindfulness in different academic disciplines. There was a documentary film screening and discussion, and a community dinner (preceded by a meditation session) at the Middlebury Organic Farm.
Other events in the annual symposium that honors Professor Emeritus of History Nicholas R. Clifford included an interactive workshop, a poster session, and contemplative practice samplers in yoga, aikido, tai chi, modern qi dong, and meditation.
All of the sessions were designed to address the science supporting the effects of mindfulness practice on cognitive performance, general well-being, teaching and learning, creative engagement and compassionate leadership.

Andreessen: Mosaic Expectations Were Very Low
Marc Andreessen had no idea that the Mosaic browser he co-developed would kick off the Web revolution and become such an enduring and important piece of software.
Mosaic, created by Andreessen and Eric Bina at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, was "a renegade academic research project" aimed at universities and government contractors, he said.
At the time of Mosaic's release in 1993, the hot technology that was thought would change the world was interactive television and the availability of hundreds of channels, he said.
"We had extremely low expectations. And then of course it took off," Andreessen reminisced during a keynote session Thursday at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco during which he was interviewed on stage by John Battelle, chairman of Federated Media.
Of course, by the time he co-founded Netscape in 1994, Andreessen understood the potential of the Web browser, although he was in a minority among the skeptics in the industry and the media, he said.
Even today, when the Web is so widely considered a crucial element across most industries, it's interesting to find resistance to it and lack of understanding about how to leverage it, he said, citing media and telecommunication companies as examples.
Looking back, even Andreessen is surprised at the longevity and increasing impact of browsers on the Internet. "It turned out far better than anyone could have thought," he said.
Even elements that he thought would be quickly discarded as development progressed, like JavaScript, cookies and the back/forward buttons, have withstood the test of time, he said.
Far from nearing retirement, the browser is increasingly at the center of Web innovation, as more and more applications and services are built to be delivered via browsers, he said.
One clear example is social networking, which is, of course, browser-based and has displaced applications like instant messaging as the preferred communication method for young people, he said.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Andreessen's latest venture, founded in 2004, is Ning, which provides a platform for anyone to create their own social network.
Ning currently hosts about 250,000 social networks, 70 percent of which are active, said Andreessen, Ning chairman and co-founder. The company has raised an eye-popping US$560 million from investors.
Asked by Battelle and later by an audience member to comment about competing against Microsoft and Bill Gates, Andreessen had no fighting words, despite the historic conflict between Microsoft and Netscape and the ensuing U.S. Department of Justice antitrust probe.
He said the IT industry wouldn't have experienced nearly as much growth as it has if Microsoft hadn't provided a standard operating system for PCs. He also praised recent moves by Microsoft to become more open in its technology.
While it would be sad, from an entrepreneur's point of view, to see Yahoo lose its independence to Microsoft, such a merger could yield positive results for the companies, he said. Despite the potential for such a mega-merger, the competitive landscape in the computer industry is healthy, having "splintered and fragmented in very positive ways" in recent years, he said.
This means that there are more business models and opportunities for new companies to exploit, as well as more diversity and freedom in technology. "The underbrush of the valley keeps growing," he said.
