On March 23, 2018, US President Donald Trump tweeted that he was removing H.R. Mcmaster as his National Security Advisor, and that John Bolton would take over on April 9, 2018.
While the President may see in Mr Bolton a sympathetic sycophant, I would remind him that Mr Bolton has a reckless approach to advancing the safety and security of Americans – far outside any political party.
All former Bush administration officials should have zero standing on Syria. Iraq was a waste of blood & treasure.
The key question in New Delhi is how will Bolton's appointment impact New Delhi's strategic interests in South Asia. It would be pertinent to point out that, even at a time when India-US relations were at their peak – during the George W Bush-Manmohan Singh era – Bolton, then US ambassador to the UN, vociferously opposed – with his Chinese counterpart – India's bid for permanent membership of United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and had also expressed his skepticism with regard to the Indo-US Nuclear Deal.
A lot of time has gone by, and nothing is static in International Affairs. New Delhi would be hoping, that as NSA Bolton's policies are favourable towards India. What New Delhi should be watching now is Bolton's stand on countries like Pakistan and Iran.
If you push too hard, this government in Pakistan is fragile. It has been since the partition of British India […] The military in Pakistan itself is at risk, increasingly, of being infiltrated through the officer ranks by radical Islamists. Many people believe the intelligence services unit already is heavily dominated by Islamists.
Pakistan is a nuclear power and if it were to tip into terrorist control it would be like #NorthKorea or #Iran on steroids.
In a column for the Wall Street Journal, titled 'Danger of a Jihadist Pakistan,' Bolton has articulated similar views.
[…] the U.S. can use its leverage to induce China to join the world in telling Pakistan it must sever ties with terrorists and close their sanctuaries. The Trump administration should make clear that Beijing will face consequences if it does not bring to bear its massive interests in support of this goal.
This point is interesting, and has been suggested by many other strategic analysts from the US and India as well. One of the reasons cited for India's attempts at reaching out towards China in recent months is a realization that Beijing – through it's economic clout — has the ability to influence Pakistan's behaviour. Bolton's pragmatism and realism vis-à-vis Pakistan, and his view that China is in a better position to pressure Pakistan to act against terrorist groups, should not be a cause of concern, but cautious optimism. By keeping a working relationship with Islamabad, Washington will ensure that it does not completely lose influence. New Delhi would certainly not mind that. Second, in spite of tensions with Beijing, Washington is in a better position to prevail upon Beijing for asking Islamabad to change its attitude towards terror groups.
It remains to be seen how Trump and Bolton handle their differences over Pakistan, and whether or not, given the trade disputes between China and US, Washington would be in a position to ask Beijing to pressure Pakistan to act against terror groups.
Iran will not negotiate away its nuclear program. Nor will sanctions block its building a broad and deep weapons infrastructure. The inconvenient truth is that only military action like Israel's 1981 attack on Saddam Hussein's Osirak reactor in Iraq or its 2007 destruction of a Syrian reactor, designed and built by North Korea, can accomplish what is required. Time is terribly short, but a strike can still succeed.
Given India's strategic and economic interests in Iran, heightened tensions between US and Iran are certainly not good news. India has already invested in Phase 1 of the Chahahar Port, and during President Rouhani's India visit, in February 2018, an agreement was signed to lease out Phase 1 for 18 months. India is also keen to make Chabahar Port as an integral part of the INSTC (International North South Trade Corridor) project, which will facilitate Indian connectivity to Russia and Europe. Iran is thus important not only in the context of being a gateway to Afghanistan, Central Asia, and beyond, but economic ties have also strengthened in the past three years. In fact, during Rouhani's visit both countries delivered an unequivocal message of wanting to strengthen business ties.
In conclusion, it is time to be prepared for some major geopolitical upheavals and turbulence. Indian policy makers would be advised to put forward their concerns with regard to Trump's approach towards Iran. So far, New Delhi has managed to maintain good relations with both Washington and Tehran, but given the changes which have taken place within the administration it will be far from simple. New Delhi will not be as concerned about Bolton's views with regard to India's past strategic goals, or his willingness to give Pakistan a long rope, as it will with his excessively hawkish views on Iran, which could have disastrous consequences.
Your description of Bolton's views on Pakistan seem charitable to me. I can't make heads or tails of what he's trying to say. Obama was excessively lax, he tells us. Was the assassination of bin Laden an instance of laxity? At face value, it was an unapologetic violation of Pakistan's sovereignty. Or take the Raymond Davis case. It's a little known fact that three (not two) people were killed in that 2011 incident, one of them an innocent bystander. Though the bystander was killed when a US diplomatic vehicle hit him in the attempt to rescue Davis (going the wrong way on a one way street), the United States has refused to compensate the victim or admit wrongdoing. I wouldn't call any of that laxity.
Granted,neither thing bears directly on Pakistan's relationship to the Taliban. But neither really indicates "laxity," and Bolton offers no specifics about how Trump would do better. Bolton's own stricture on pressuring Pakistan suggests why Obama was as "lax" as he was, though arguably more severe than Bush II was.
I also don't really understand what "leverage" China is supposed to have over Pakistan. If Pakistan's ISI is full of Islamists, why would they listen to a bunch of Chinese atheists or polytheists about what to do with their "Islamic bomb"?
The only sane part of the Pakistani government is its civilian leadership. But it is not clear to me that Pakistan's civilian leaders really need to be lectured, whether by Chinese or American diplomats, about the threat they face from the Taliban. At the same time, it's not clear to me that Pakistan's military leadership is rational enough to process information of any kind. And of course, the problem is that the military leadership is not really under civilian control. People always make big claims about the dividends to be gotten from "pressuring" Pakistan, but it's not clear to me that anyone knows how to exert the sort of pressure that would get positive results.
Gathering storm clouds on the horizon. Bolton is a fanatic war monger who serves the interests of Israel.

With today's on-the-go lifestyle, we tend to eat quickly. Eating right gives us a healthy weight, a good mood and overall wellbeing. We surely are what we eat. While some specific foods or nutrients have been shown to have a beneficial effect on mood, it's our overall pattern that is most important because sometimes it can be non-food related. Focusing on how we feel after eating. The more healthy food we eat, the better we feel after a meal. With a healthy lifestyle we are filled with vitality and vibrant health.
Ghrelin hormones that increases appetite are secreted every four hours. To maintain low levels of this hormone, it is necessary to follow a diet over periods of four hours. The secret is in certain foods rich in anti-inflammatory nutrients, mainly consisting of carotenoids, Omega 3s and flavonoids. Consuming 3 cups of tea daily helps to overcome leptin resistance. The tea is rich in catechins, flavonoids and polyphenols, all anti-inflammatory elements. Tea, whose effect on weight control is well-known, will help restore the role of leptin. Flaxseed is one of the richest dietary sources of omega-3 anti-inflammatory properties and a natural food source rich in polyphenolic substance which helps the liver to eliminate toxins and fats from the body.

Watching a 5 minutes cardiac coherence on YouTube is a good relaxation method.
When we breathe this way-of-life everyday, it becomes naturally part of ourselves.
Together we can live better & healthier.


One of the biggest decisions workers will make in their lifetime is when to retire. However determining where to retire can be equally as important. While lifestyle, weather, and amenities can often lead this conversation, financial factors such as cost of living and overall tax burden should also be considered.
To help guide you, a new study conducted by the financial resource site WalletHub compared all 50 states (they excluded the District of Columbia) to determine what states were the best and worst for retirees. To arrive at their conclusions, researchers considered the affordability factors such as adjusted cost of living, tax friendliness, and cost of in-home services along with the quality of life and healthcare statistics. So what states came out on top?
Not surprisingly, with a score of 66.79, Florida had the highest rating overall. Meanwhile Colorado and South Dakota weren't far behind with scores of 66.17 and 65.89 respectively, followed by Iowa and Virgina rounding out the top five. On the other end of the spectrum, Kentucky came in last place with a score of 43.06. Joining the Bluegrass State at the bottom were New Jersey, Rhode Island, Mississipi, and Arkansas.
Beyond their overall rankings, WalletHub also ranked the states in individual areas. For example the lowly-ranked Mississipi actually placed first in terms of adjusted cost of living while Hawaii proved to be the most expensive state. When it comes to the cost of in-home health services, Lousiana was first with North Dakota placing last. Among the more interesting findings, it was discovered that Alaska had the highest percentage of workers over 65 while West Virginia had the fewest. Finally, in terms of life expectancy, two states with very different climates topped the list: Hawaii and Minnesota.
Although these latest rankings are certainly intriguing and worth considering, ultimately other factors including where your family is and where you've made your home can also have a major impact on your decision regarding where to retire. Additionally some more adventurous individuals might even consider living abroad in their golden years — something this research won't help you with. In any case, for more insights and to dive a bit deeper into the methodology of this study, head on over to WalletHub.

'Death in Summer' by William Trevor
Fiction – paperback; Penguin; 220 pages; 1999.
I don't know where I got the idea that William Trevor wrote lovely heartwarming stories: my two experiences reading him — Felicia's Journey (1994) and The Story of Lucy Gault (2002) — have been rather sad and distressing. And Death in Summer is no different.
Mournful beginning
The story, which is set in England, begins with a funeral. (See, it's sad already.)
Leticia, a new mother, has been killed in a tragic accident. Her husband, the much older Thaddeus, is bereft, even though he never truly loved his wife. He does, however, very much love and adore his young baby, Georgina, and it is to her that all his attention now turns.
Although he lives in a rather grand house (inherited from his parents) and has two servants, the impossibly named Zenobia and Maidment, he feels unable to raise Georgina by himself. So, with the help of his kindly well-to-do mother-in-law, Mrs Iveson, he screens four young women as potential nannies.
As it turns out, none are suitable, and one in particular, Pettie, is the wrong type altogether: she wreaks of cigarettes, shows them a badly typed reference, wears a too-short skirt. Fobbing her off with a £10 note (to cover her train fare to attend the interview), Thaddeus and Mrs Iveson think that will be the end of the matter.
They are wrong.
The story pitts these two hapless, loveless characters against one another. Thaddeus, blind to anything other than his natural state of melancholy, is unaware that Pettie has developed a rather unhealthy obsession with him. And Pettie, ignoring the advice of her devoted friend Albert (they grew up together in a childrens' home) that she leave well enough alone, rails against the news that Mrs Iveson has become the child's carer. She will do whatever she can to prove that this is a bad decision and that she should be put in charge instead.
Portrait of a stalker
As a portrait of a disturbed young woman with a penchant for stalking, you will find no better than Death in Summer. While there's a lovely aching quality to the overall storyline, there's also an unspoken tension and unease, a kind of creepiness that pervades Pettie's motivations, which makes the book difficult to put down.
This novel demonstrates what happens when people's emotional wounds are left to fester unabated over a long period of time. And it shows that no matter where you fit in the social spectrum, we can all be haunted by our pasts. What unites Thaddeus and Pettie, even though they might not know it, is their longing to be loved unconditionally.
This is a richly layered novel in which the back stories for all the characters — the servants; Albert; and Thaddeus' former lover, the desperate blackmailing Mrs Ferry — are skillfully fleshed out.
Without ever talking down to his readers, Trevor somehow captures that sense of lives being misspent, of all too real human failings, of life's disappointments and cruelties, of the ways in which people are trapped by circumstance. It is an exceptional achievement.

Guy Savage says:
Loved this one. Recommendation: My House in Umbria.
Cheers, Guy. I have a few other Trevors in the pile, but not sure I have that one. Always good to get recs on his work, cos theres just so much of it, it helps to know where to start.
KevinfromCanada says:
"Emotional wounds…left to fester" — that would seem to capture my experience with Trevor. And he is very good at it.
Indeed he is. I didn't really mention Mrs Ferry much in this review, but she's another character who has pinned all her hopes on Thaddeus — she nurses this belief that they once had something going which should be rekindled, and she's a kind of sad, pathetic character who also wants to be loved unconditionally. Of course, Thaddeus is too weak to put her out of her misery, and his kindness is mistaken for romantic interest. I suspect that's how Pettie views him too.
I put William Trevor in the same category as Sebastian Barry. I know I'm going to be an emotional wreck while reading their books so you just take a deep breath and plunge in. They are such truly exquisite writers, along with Rohinton Mistry, who are almost able to break your heart while reading. Oh, and Brian Moore…… gosh, there's a few isn't there??
Totally love William Trevor and need to read more by him–I read a couple of his books years ago. Totally off topic but I see you are Typepad's Featured Blog–Very cool! Congrats and well deserved!
I'm yet to read Mistry or Moore, although I have most of their books sitting in mount TBR! I find Jennifer Johnston and John McGahern have the same affect on me…
I didn't realise I was Typepad's Featured Blog until I logged in this morning. Be interesting to see if it brings any extra traffic my way…

Your review tempts me to read this novel. I read et liked his short stories very much.
Thank you lewerentz. I have two very lovely volumes of his short stories, which I am yet to read.
I loveTrevor but have yet to read this one by him ,he is very much a realist writer he is a warts and all guy to me ,I ve one of his lined up for early next year to read ,all the best stu
Ah yes, Stu, I remember that you're a bit of a Trevor fan. I still reckon he should be nominated for a Nobel Prize for Lit, don't you?

Edinburgh's 39th Film Festival got off to a good, glitzy start over the weekend with a gala performance of the Spielberg-produced, Robert Zemeckis-directed Back to the Future, which has made so much money in the States this summer that a quarter per cent of its net profit would set up the likes of you and me for life.
Spielberg supplies the sentiment and Zemeckis pours the acid, so that nostalgia is laced with a little provocation.
All we can do, though, is pay to watch it - well actually I'm paid. And though it is hardly one of the greater flights of cinematic imagination to be seen since science fantasy reared its head as mass appeal material again, it would be virtually impossible not to enjoy it in some way or another.
The combination of Spielberg as ideas man and Zemeckis as executant (the latter made the efficient and at times ingenious Romancing the Stone) is just right for this story of an ordinary guy transported back in time to the mid-Fifties, and faced with his parents as teenagers. Spielberg supplies the sentiment and Zemeckis pours the acid, so that nostalgia is laced with a little provocation.
It doesn't go as far as Gremlins, because Joe Dante really is spiteful, whereas Zemeckis is only playing at it. But the moment the ordinary guy's mother takes a lunge at him in her bedroom, without knowing he is her son, is at least one sequence to cherish.
A spot of unknowing incest, which of course never comes off, suggests that this is not the bland leading the bland. Actually, it's the boy genius leading us gently by the nose again. Highly entertaining, but that's about all.

Always needing more storage space in a garage is a given, using sturdy stand alone garage shelves or wall mounted garage shelves helps keep the clutter in line. Made out of heavy duty steel, these shelves can withstand all sorts of different circumstances. The shelving can hold everything from oil and paint, to water pumps and engine parts. These shelves are rugged enough to work in almost every environment in a home garage or professional shop. Shelving can be the answer to the question of more storage space.
Wire shelving makes for terrific garage shelving because it doesn't hold dust or dirt like wood shelving can. Often times in a garage, something ends up on a shelf and is forgot about for a long time. And we all know no one is in any rush to clean off the shelving in the garage, so it's best to put in shelving that will hold a lot of weight and be virtually maintenance free.
We also carry many different types of shelving with build in fold down workbenches. This shelving makes for excellent storage shelving for your cleaning supplies and with the fold out workbench it also gives you space to clean and tinker with smaller projects. This shelving is great on the side walls of your garage because of the fold up workbench in front of the shelving. It takes up very little space when not in use so you can still easily get in and out of your car so you can take advantage of what may currently be an unused space.
If you're into race cars, motorcycles, or snowmobiles, chances are you've got a few helmets around your garage to keep your noggin safe. We also carry helmet shelving with individual compartments for each helmet. No more tossing your helmet on your workbench risking it falling to the ground and spider cracking, put it on the helmet shelving and keep your helmet safe for years to come.
If you're into mud boggin 4x4 or live in a place like Chicago where the summers are hot and the winters are snowy, chances are you've got a few sets of tires for your vehicle. We have quite a few options for tire shelving from wall mounted units that keep the tires up and out of the way to floor standing racks that allow you to easily store enough tires for whatever the weather may be outside.
Garage shelving needs to be sturdy, durable, and is vastly different depending on what you do in your garage. If you don't find the shelving you need on our web site, give us a call at 800-736-9308 and chances are we can fit whatever shelving need you have.

Running USA Honors Industry Leaders at 2022 Conference
ORLANDO (Feb. 22, 2022) – Running USA, the non-profit trade organization for running, announces the recipients of its 2022 Industry Conference awards. The Conference, which concluded today after a 3-day run at the Coronado Springs Resort, resumed after a one year Covid hiatus with nearly 500 industry attendees.
Named to the organization's Hall of Champions as part of its 18th class were two longtime industry leaders, Virginia Brophy Achman and Rich Kenah.

Was Ex-Wife's New Relationship Cohabitation Under TN Law? Maybe Not.
In After Divorce, Alimony Modification, Home
Tennessee alimony modification law case summary after divorce law from the Court of Appeals.
Don Mabee v. Gayle Mabee – Tennessee divorce cohabitation
The husband and wife were divorced in 2010 and executed a marital dissolution agreement. The agreement provided that the husband would pay alimony, but that the obligation would terminate if the wife were cohabitating with another man. The husband paid alimony until December 2011. He stopped, because he believed that the wife was cohabitating with another man. On January 3, the wife filed a petition with the court requesting that the alimony continue. A trial was held in August, and a number of witnesses testified. In addition to the spouses, a private investigator, a neighbor, and the boyfriend testified.
Both the private investigator and neighbor testified that the boyfriend visited the wife's apartment many times, and that he stayed all night on numerous occasions. In addition, photographs, postcards, letters, and Facebook postings were introduced as evidence.
The wife admitted that she and the boyfriend had a romantic sexual relationship, but denied that he lived with her or that either of them had been financially supporting the other. The boyfriend testified that he lived with his mother and the mother's boyfriend. He testified that the wife was subsequently evicted from her apartment, was homeless, and slept outdoors at various locations. While she sometimes came to the mother's house to shower or change clothes, and sometimes stayed there on particularly cold nights, he testified that he had no intention of marrying or living with the wife. In fact, the boyfriend testified that he was married to someone else, and even though he was not living with the wife, he had no intention of getting a divorce.
The trial court concluded that this evidence did not amount to cohabitation, since cohabitation requires a "husband and wife" type of relationship which was absent here. Therefore, the trial court entered a judgment against the husband for past due alimony. The husband appealed to the Tennessee Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals noted that the agreement did not refer to merely "spending the night". It used the word "cohabitation", and the court examined the meaning of that word. It examined the dictionary definition and legal definitions of the word, and concluded that it required more than an intimate sexual relationship, and more than spending the night together on several occasions. It also requires a mutual assumption of duties and obligations of the type normally assumed by spouses or life partners. The court noted that the husband had the burden of proof that the wife was cohabitating, and that he had failed to meet this burden.
The court also distinguished earlier cases where cohabitation had been found, and noted that in those cases the evidence had been much stronger. Therefore, it agreed with the trial court's conclusion.
The court affirmed the trial court's judgment, and also assessed the costs of appeal against the husband.
No. M2012-02430-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. June 27, 2013).

House passes state aid bill
By Lisa Lambert
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The House of Representatives on Tuesday approved, and President Barack Obama promptly signed into law, an election-year bill providing $26 billion to struggling states by closing tax loopholes for multinational companies and cutting food aid to the poor.

The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives gave final congressional approval to the bill on a largely party-line vote of 247 to 161.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took the rare step of summoning House members back to Washington during their summer recess for a final vote on the measure after the Senate approved the legislation last week.
The bill will give states, hard-hit by the U.S. economic downturn, $16 billion more for Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor, and $10 billion for education in the hopes they can avoid making steep cuts in already-lean budgets.
Budget gaps for the 50 U.S. states could total as much as $120 billion over the next year. States have slashed funding for everything from government employees to education since their revenues began collapsing in 2008 because of the weak U.S. economy.
"Economists have told us that if this legislation were not passed and these jobs were not saved and the budgets of the states were not stabilized we would go into another deep recession, like the one we inherited from the previous administration," Pelosi said, referring to the Republican Bush administration.
Republicans are trying to take back control of Congress from the Democrats in November's congressional elections. Republicans hope to build on voter anger over the size of the U.S. budget deficit, projected at $1.47 trillion this year, by emphasizing the measure's price tag.
"Everyone knows that state budgets have been hit hard and no one wants teachers or police officers to lose their jobs," said House Republican leader John Boehner, who opposed the bill. "But where do the bailouts end?"
Democrats want to convince voters they can strengthen a fragile economic recovery and bring down the country's unemployment rate, currently 9.5 percent.
A report from the research group the Rockefeller Institute of Government released on Tuesday showed that layoffs are hurting state and local governments, with their payrolls falling last month below pre-recession levels.
This is the only one of nine recessions since 1953 in which state government employment has fallen below its pre-recession level, the New York-based research group said.
Factbox: Reactions to passage of state aid bill
Since the start of the year, state and local governments have shed 169,000 jobs, according to the congressional Joint Economic Committee.
TAX LOOPHOLES
"We can't stand by and do nothing while pink slips (termination notices) are given to the men and women who educate our children or keep our communities safe," Obama said in the White House Rose Garden earlier on Tuesday as he urged the House to pass the legislation.
Obama added, "This proposal is fully paid for -- in part by closing tax loopholes that encourage corporations to shift American jobs overseas, so it will not add to our deficit."
Democrats say figures from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office show the legislation will shave more than $1 billion from the U.S. budget deficit
The bill will be funded by tightening tax rules related to how companies allocate income between domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
It also cuts $11.9 billion from the food stamp program, ending part of last year's economic stimulus plan that temporarily increased the aid given to poor families each month to buy groceries. It rescinds advance refunds of the earned income tax credit, a break given to poor families, as well.
Last year's $862 billion economic stimulus law temporarily raised the federal reimbursements to states for Medicaid. States have been worried about how to fill the void when the money runs out in December.
The education funds contained in the bill will help retain 161,000 teachers and school staffers, according to the JEC.
But states are concerned about the education funds, which require them to maintain school spending at the same level as 2008. The recession had not hit many states then and few can now afford to return to that higher level of spending.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, a Republican, said his state will have to rewrite its budget to qualify for $98 million in education funds, moving at least $50 million into education spending from public safety and health.
"There is no justification for the federal government hijacking state budgets," Barbour said.
Upset that Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry put some of his state's stimulus money in reserve, Democrats stipulated that Texas can receive education money only if it spends some of the earlier stimulus funds. Congress is sending a message to Perry, said Representative Sheila Jackson Lee: "Don't fool with money for children and education.

Medical practitioner comes up with 'natural cures for cancer'
By Karan Paul May 6, 2019
Humanity has struggled with the plague of cancer for several decades now and scientific and medical research has been an unsuccessful so far in treating this fatal disorder. People who are dissatisfied with modern medicine tend to try other methods. One of them has been making headlines recently.
Medical practitioner claims 'mud' cures cancer
Recent reports have suggested that a former medical practitioner has developed a mixture of natural elements which reportedly cure cancer without the use of any allopathic medicines.
Cancer patient Chris Rosenau told a news channel about her experience of taking a mixture of dried up herbs and mushrooms. The mixture is called 'mud', and she revealed that it was developed by a medical practitioner Ken Crawford.
She revealed that she heard of Crawford in a Facebook group. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage. Chris said they were lucky to discover breast cancer when the mass was just two centimetres in size. The cancer was at the border of stage 1 and stage 2. When she got in touch with Crawford, he told her that there was a herbal treatment mixture that was in its developmental stage.
He also revealed that he developed it after reading nearly 30,000 medical journals. He also claimed that he really believes in the effectiveness of this mixture, because it helped several close friends of his who were diagnosed with cancer.
$17,000 treatment did not work
The treatment cost $17,000. Chris also had to pay for the travel and accommodation expenses of Crawford. This was because he had to come to her house and tell her how to make the concoction. Due to a nondisclosure agreement, Chris cannot reveal the ingredients of the mixture to anyone, including her oncologist.
She had to discontinue the treatment because within 2 weeks, she had lost 10 pounds and was experiencing chronic diarrhoea. She revealed that she felt horrible and nauseated every time she drank it.
Crawford has not refunded the fee to Chris yet. He is also being investigated by the Federal Drug Administration and the Kansas Attorney General's office.

NICIL recovers 2.3 Billion Dollars from HKGT
Category : News, Ticker | No Comments
2nd Feb 2020
Source: Kaieteur News
On March 15, 2019, Justice Franklin Holder issued a judgment against Hong Kong Golden Telecom Limited (HKGT) to pay up US$10.7 with interest at the rate of 12% until paid, as a result of HKGT's failure to pay moneys that were owed for the purchase of the State's 20 percent shares in the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph (GTT).
The National Industrial and Commercial Investments Limited (NICIL) was able to achieve this success following stellar representation by Devindra Kissoon of London House Chambers.
The particulars of the case state that in 2012, NICIL sold its 4,125 shares in GTT to HKGT for the sum of US$30M but only US$25M was paid. Despite efforts to recover the amount owed, HKGT, refused to pay NICIL, instead employing strong arm negotiation and delay tactics to stonewall NICIL, offering NICIL arms and computers in lieu of payment.
HKGT for seven years hid behind the veil of secrecy, largely relying on the fact that it was located in China, and that should NICIL get judgment against them NICIL, would be unable to enforce that judgment since it had no identifiable assets and in any event, an arbitration award issued in England would be difficult to enforce in China.
In explaining why at that time Court action had not been pursued, NICIL's former CEO, Horace James, had disclosed to Kaieteur News that NICIL initially consulted with UK counsel who at that time advised that despite significant expenditure to pursue arbitration, there was no guarantee of recovery hence it sought to enter negotiations with HKGT.
After negotiations failed, NICIL received local advice that since the GTT's shares purchased by HKGT were issued by a Guyanese company, those shares, an identifiable asset of HKGT, pursuant to principles of private international law, were located in Guyana, making recovery of the sums owed possible without proceedings in England or China.
Court filings reveal that NICIL thereafter obtained judgment against HKGT, and restrained it from transferring the GTT's shares to any other person to prevent it from escaping judgment. NICIL also began enforcement proceedings against HKGT to issue a lien against GTT shares purchased by HKGT, and Justice Holder on July 15, 2019, issued an order in favour of NICIL charging the 4125 GTT shares sold. NICIL also obtained a stop notice issued to GTT, restraining GT&T from paying any dividends to HKGT.
Furthermore, court filings show that on January 2, 2020, NICIL became aware that GTT intended to issue a dividend to HKGT in the amount of US$3,200,000, and on January 13, 2020 Justice Holder issued an order in favour of NICIL garnishing those dividends.
Thereafter, GTT issued a check to NICIL for US$3.2 M. It appears that NICIL will recover the remaining sums owed from the charged shares and future dividends to be paid. Now that the US$3.2M was received, NICIL has more than US$7M outstanding to draw down.
Based on Justice Holder's judgment, NICIL will recover more than double the amount initially owed to it. It is also gaining interest of 12% until the remaining of judgment is fully paid.

Q: How to count words in text and append in dictionary? I'm trying to make a dictionary of frequency of words in a text but for some reason extra characters print out (I'm not sure if this is my text or if it's my code) and it doesn't successfully print out the lines or words that contain the invalid symbol! This is the code I have:
 def parse_documentation(filename):
    filename=open(filename, "r")
    lines = filename.read();
    invalidsymbols=["`","~","!", "@","#","$"]
    for line in lines:
        for x in invalidsymbols:
            if x in line:
                print(line)
                print(x)
                print(line.replace(x, ""))
                freq={}
            for word in line:
                count=counter(word)
        freq[word]=count
    return freq

A: Your code has several flaws. I will not solve all of them but point you in the right direction.
Firstly, read reads the whole file as a string. I don't think that's your intention here. Use readlines() instead to get all lines in the file as a list.
def parse_documentation(filename):
    filename=open(filename, "r")
    lines = filename.readlines(); # returns a list of all lines in file
    invalidsymbols=["`","~","!", "@","#","$"]
    freq = {} # declare this OUTSIDE of your loop.
    for line in lines:
        for letter in line:
            if letter in invalidsymbols:
                print(letter)
                line = line.replace(letter, ""))
        print line #this should print the line without invalid symbols.

        words = line.split() # Now get the words.

        for word in line:
            count=counter(word)
            # ... Do your counter stuff here ...

    return freq

Second, I'm highly suspicious of the workings of your counter method. If your intention is to count the number of words, you could adopt this strategy:

*

*Check if word is in freq.

*If it is not in in freq, add it and map it to 1. Otherwise, increment the number that the word was previously mapped to.

This should set you on the right track.

A: Check this, it might be what you want. BTW, your code is not correct Python code. There are many issues there.
from collections import Counter

def parse_documentation(filename):
    with open(filename,"r") as fin:
        lines = fin.read()
    #for sym in ["`","~","!","@","#","$"]: lines = lines.replace(sym,'')
    lines = lines.translate(None,"`~!@#$")    #thanks to @gnibbler's comment
    freq = Counter(lines.split())
    return freq

text file:
this is a text. text is that. @this #that
$this #!that is those

Results:
Counter({'this': 3, 'is': 3, 'that': 2, 'a': 1, 'that.': 1, 'text': 1, 'text.': 1, 'those': 1})

A: you might need.line.split(' ') else the for loop will loop through letters.
....
for word in line.split(' '):
    count=counter(word)

Q: CSS: Responsive Layout don't behave like it (mathematically) should I'm doing a three columns layout which shall behave responsive.
When the screen-width becomes smaller then 1025px then the three columns, which are ordered beside each other on large screens, become stacked upon each other.
The unordered list which is content of the left-column shall become ordered horizontally (instead of vertically).
The parent div has now a width of 800px. No margins, borders, paddings.
The ul as an child-element inherits these width.
I give the (four) li-elements a width of 25% which results in expected 200px. In can see that in the developer-tools.
But the 4 list-items don't stay in one row. The last item breaks into another row.

Currently I can see no reason why. 4 * 200px = 800px => It should match into the parent-element.
I could do :
ul li {
    ...
    width: calc(25% - 4px);
    ...
}

... then it would work. But don't want to take that approach ...
So therefore:
Can someone tell me why I get these linebreak although it should match?
Here's the code :

$rad: 10px;

.content h2 {
  margin-top: 20px;
}

.content {
 background-color: #343434;
 color: white;
 width: 60%;
}

.wrap {
  max-width: 800px;
  margin: 50px auto;
  display: flex;
}

.left-column {
  background-color: #dedede;
  width: 10%;
}

.right-column {
  background-color: lighten(grey, 10%);
  width: 30%;
}

.column {
  padding: 0 25px;
  border-radius: $rad;
}

ul {
  list-style: none;
  padding-left: 0;
}

@media (max-width: 1024px) {
  .wrap {
    flex-direction: column;
  }

  .content {
    width: 100%;
    order: 3;
  }

  .left-column {
    width: 100%;
    order: 1;
  }

  .right-column {
    width: 100%;
    order: 2;
  }

  ul li {
    display: inline-block;
    background-color: #efefef;
    width: 25%;
    text-align: center;
    border-radius: $rad;
  }
}

Grosshuesch, D.A. 2006. Western Great Lakes Region owl monitoring survey, 2006 final report. Report submitted to the Nongame Wildlife Program, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. 24 pp.
As top predators of the food chain, owls are considered good indicators of environmental health, making them important to monitor. However, there is a paucity of abundance and population status data available for most species of owls in the western Great Lakes region. Currently, few species of owls are adequately monitored using traditional avian survey methods, such as the Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) and Christmas Bird Counts (CBC). For these reasons, the Western Great Lakes Region Owl Monitoring survey was initiated in 2005. The objectives of this survey are to: 1) understand the distribution and abundance of owl species in the region, 2) determine trends in the relative abundance of owls in the region, 3) determine if trends are comparable in surrounding areas and analyze whether these trends could be scaled up or down on the landscape, and 4) determine if there are habitat associations of owl species in the region.
This was the second year of a collaborative effort between personnel from the Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory (HRBO), Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI), MN-Dept. of Nat. Res. (MN-DNR), WI-Dept. of Nat. Res. (WI-DNR), and the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU) to monitor owl populations in the western Great Lakes region. Existing and new randomly selected survey routes were used to conduct roadside surveys in the Laurentian Forest Province of Minnesota and in Wisconsin. Volunteers were requested to conduct a survey in each period (Period 1-March 11 to March 19; Period 2-March 20 to April 9; Period 3-April 10 to April 23). All survey routes consisted of 10 survey points spaced ~1.6 km (1 mile) apart. A 2 minute "passive" listening period was done at each designated survey point along the route.
The number of routes assigned in 2006 was 138, with 79 in northern Minnesota and 59 in Wisconsin. Of the 138 assigned routes, 69 routes and 52 routes were surveyed in northern Minnesota and in Wisconsin, respectively. At least two surveys were conducted for 88 of the 121 routes completed, with 58 routes being surveyed three times. The number of participants that signed up to conduct an owl survey was 116, with 99 volunteers returning completed survey sheets.
In total, 393 owls of nine species (including 7 owls of an unknown species) were recorded on 83 routes, with no owls recorded on 38 routes (see Table 1). The top three owl species combined for northern Minnesota and Wisconsin were Northern Saw-whet Owl, Barred Owl, and Great Horned Owl, respectively. In Minnesota, a total of 253 individual owls comprising eight species were recorded during all survey periods. The mean number of owls/route was 0.70 for Period 1, 1.82 for Period 2, and 2.08 for Period 3. In Wisconsin, a total of 140 individual owls comprising 5 species were recorded during all survey periods. The mean number of owls/route was 0.96 for Period 1, 1.82 for Period 2, and 1.09 for Period 3.
Recommendations and future perspectives for the Western Great Lakes Region owl survey include: 1) expanding the survey to all of Minnesota, 2) providing on-line training to volunteers, 3) possible integration of an on-line data entry system, 4) conducting analysis of seasonal variation of calling activity, 5) conducting future analysis on abundance trends, habitat associations, and distribution, and 6) considering the importance of using and collecting small mammal data.

UN climate talks
UK and South Korea agree to collaborate on tackling climate change
Published on 07/11/2013, 1:31pm
UK strikes deal with South Korea to join forces on developing nuclear power and emissions trading scheme

By Sophie Yeo
The UK and South Korea have agreed to collaborate on tackling climate change, united by a shared belief that nuclear should play a key role in the future energy mix.
During a visit to the UK from South Korean President Park Geun-hye this week, the countries released a joint statement declaring their mutual commitment to low carbon development, backed up by the latest findings of the IPCC climate science report.
Both countries also signed a Memorandum of Understanding on nuclear power, agreeing to cooperate on the development of the technology, which they agreed provide "a safe, consistent and affordable source of energy" and that is has a "key role to play in the future low carbon energy mix".
The UK has already shown its individual interest in nuclear power, giving the go-ahead to its first new plant in a generation at the end of October.
They added in their statement that any future role for coal would be dependent on the successful deployment of carbon capture and storage technology – the only way in which fossil fuels can continue to be burnt without seriously threatening the balance of the world's climate through the emission of CO2.
They also outlined energy efficient buildings and emissions trading as potential areas for cooperation. Following in the footsteps of the EU and China, South Korea is to launch its own emissions trading scheme in 2015.
It will lead an industry mission later this year to examine how UK companies have taken emissions trading on board.
"The UK and the Republic of Korea believe that we need urgent international action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avoid dangerous climate change," said Ed Davey, UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change.
"We also recognise the huge economic opportunities of moving to a low carbon economy – for new drivers of growth and jobs, and for greater security of energy supply."
UN agreement
At the same time, they added in the statement that a legally binding global agreement under the UN's climate change body (UNFCCC) remained the "only credible way" of driving ambitious action on climate change.
They highlighted the period between now and 2015, when such a deal is scheduled to take place, as "crucial" in allowing the international community to agree on tough commitments. This will start to gather pace on Monday, when delegates from across the world meet in Warsaw to lay the foundations for this agreement.
"This Joint Statement is a declaration of our ambition to enhance our co-operation," said Davey.
"I really value our partnership with Korea and am pleased to continue to share our experiences and work together, to raise ambition for securing a global climate change deal under the UNFCCC in 2015 and support the global transition to a low carbon economy."
