The cargo plane was carrying weapons from Ethiopia and crashed as it was attempting a landing at Mogadishu's seaside airport.
MOGADISHU, Somalia — A cargo plane full of weapons crash-landed at Mogadishu's seaside airport Friday, sending big plumes of dark smoke into the air, officials said.
The plane crashed as it was landing near the start of the runway, said Capt. Ali Hussein, a police officer at the airport.
A second airport official said the plane involved was a cargo plane full of weapons from Ethiopia. The official insisted on anonymity because he is not an authorized spokesman. The extent of any casualties wasn't immediately known.
The weapons most likely would have been destined for African Union or Somali troops, who continue to battle al-Qaida-linked militants from al-Shabab. The militants have shot at planes in the past but not in recent years.
Air traffic has increased significantly at the airport as Mogadishu continues its slow recovery from decades of warfare. Two major international carriers — Turkish Airlines and Air Uganda — operate direct flights into Mogadishu.


Here's a question I never thought to ask until I got this mascara in my hands: Is it possible to get the lashes of your dreams with a super eco-friendly mascara formula? Well I guess we are going to find out today!
This boundary breaking formula creates big, bold fluffy lashes instantly. AND it nourishes thanks to a synergistic botanical blend. Hyper pure mineral pigments create the blackest of black for highly defined luxurious lashes. Our new high tech brush design, with injection molded rubber and a unique cascade shape, precisely separates the thinnest, shortest, hard-to-reach lashes by expertly scooping up and lengthening each one—while delivering just the right amount of product.
Expressionist Bio Extreme Mascara is packaged in a simplistic white tube with grey lettering on the tube. Very simple and clean. The tube and wand are easy to hold and maintain.
The mascara brush wand is moderately sized and made of rubber, as well as the bristles. The brush does a decent job at coating each lash. There is a little work involved with getting product on the lashes around the corner of the eyes.
The mascara formula is a really nice deep shade of black making whatever eye look you create stand out even bolder. I love it. You get bold, you get length, couldn't find the fluffy. There were a couple of clumps, but there are not a lot of mascaras on the market that are 100% clump free.
I got 8 hours of use out of this mascara before it started to fade away, in the place where mascaras go… under my bottom lashes (why does mascara do that?).
Overall for the price, the formula, and it's eco friendly properties, this is a really excellent mascara for the girl that demands organic ingredients and cruelty free properties.
W3ll People Expressionist Bio Extreme contains no parabens, petrochemicals, artificial colors or fragrances, coal tar, aluminum, fibers, gluten or nano particles. It is cruelty free and contains organic ingredients.
W3ll People Expressionist Bio Extreme retails for $23.50. Pick this up exclusively from Birchbox!

Our town's Food Pantry is under the wing of Deerfield Community Church, with distributions made monthly from the walk-out basement of our Parish Hall. Today the Deerfield Food Pantry serves 60 households, and roughly 40 percent of the total individuals receiving food are children under age 18. On distribution days, clients receive enough food to last up to four days, assuming three daily meals.
In order to become a regular client of the Deerfield Food Pantry, families or individuals must be participating in a state or Federal assistance program, or income must be below poverty levels as determined by the Federal government. Faith Barry, one of the Food Pantry coordinators, reviews potential clients' documentation to determine eligibility; if possible, please call her before distribution day at 463-7800.
Distribution of food is from 10 a.m. till noon on the last Friday of every month, except September (when the Deerfield Fair falls on the last weekend), November (Thanksgiving) and December (Christmas). Those months, the Friday distribution is the week prior to that event.
The most effective way to help with this important mission is by donating money, since Food Pantry shoppers can get much more food per dollar at the New Hampshire Food Bank than donors can purchase for an equivalent amount at the supermarket. Checks may be made out to Deerfield Food Pantry and mailed to P.O. Box 34, Deerfield, NH 03037.
In addition, food donations always are welcome, and some items such as pasta often are in short supply. Donations may be dropped off at the Food Pantry on distribution day or placed in donation boxes located in the church Great Room, at the Philbrick James Library, and the Town Offices in the George B. White Building. Also, Deerfield Community School and the Girl and Boy Scouts do regularly scheduled food drives, and Deerfield Parks and Recreation collects food at various events.
Another way to lend your support is to "Grow-A-Row" in your garden to donate to the Food Pantry. Beginning in July, fresh produce may be dropped off at the Pantry on Thursdays between 4:30 and 5 p.m., with distribution to clients taking place from 5 till 5:30 p.m.
In addition to donating money or food, those who have time during the day can become Food Pantry volunteers. Help is needed shelving new food, assembling items for clients, and assisting on distribution day. To learn about volunteering, call Co-Coordinator Denny Grieg at 463-5504.

VIDEO. US election: relive Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' first speech after their victory
"I promise to be a president who does not try to divide, but to unify. Who does not see Republican and Democratic states, but the United States." On Saturday, November 7, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris et the elected president, Joe biden, spoke in Wilmington, Delaware. A first rallying speech after their victory, while Donald Trump has still not recognized his defeat.
"I am proud to be a Democrat. But I will be an American president. I will work as hard for those who voted for me as for those who did not vote for me.", hammered Joe Biden. The President-elect called on Americans to stop treating their "opponents as enemies" and furthermore promised that America would be "again respected in the world".
"American democracy is not guaranteed, it is only as strong as our will to protect it", launched the elected vice-president. Kamala Harris, visibly moved, talks about her mother of Indian origin. "I think of the women, blacks, Indians, Latinas, Amerindians (…) who paved the way for us to be where we are today", declares the first woman, and black person, to be elected to this office.
"What proof of temper on Joe Biden's part, to have the audacity to break down one of the most serious barriers in our country by choosing a woman to be vice-president, said this pioneer. I may be the first woman to hold this position, but I will not be the last. "

Angry rail commuter faces prosecution in first-class compartment row
ANGRY commuter Denise Rayner has had a notice of prosecution after refusing to pay to sit in a first-class compartment on a packed Thameslink train last year. Denise, aged 53, of St John s Court, St Albans, made a stand over the issue after sitting in an
ANGRY commuter Denise Rayner has had a notice of prosecution after refusing to pay to sit in a first-class compartment on a packed Thameslink train last year.
Denise, aged 53, of St John's Court, St Albans, made a stand over the issue after sitting in an empty first-class seat because she had hurt her neck badly in an incident with a lift door and no other seats were available.
When an inspector came into the carriage and accused her of sitting there unlawfully and told her she would have to pay, Denise refused because the rest of the First Capital Connect (FCC) London-bound commuter train was so overcrowded.
She was marched off the train at St Pancras by the inspector who left her standing on the platform there while he took her season ticket, photocard, Oyster card and a credit card to put them in a notice of prosecution.
Even though Denise subsequently wrote to FCC MD Elaine Holt about the situation she found herself in last September, she has now been served with a summons to appear in court in March.
The summons, which she has only just received, was dated October 22 - six days after FCC's prosecution department had contacted her giving her seven days to respond to their letter.
Denise is furious that she has never been given the chance to pay the outstanding fare, pointing out that even when you are given a speeding fine you are given the chance to pay before being taken to court.
And she feels that FCC's reaction is way over the top for a small fare and questions the train company's claim that it has empathy with its customers.
To add insult to injury, when she renewed her season ticket in December, she received two complimentary tickets from FCC for being a "valued" annual season ticket holder.
Denise added: "By my calculations I have spent between £25,000 and £30,000 on that train service over the years and if I spent that in a supermarket I would be showered with loyalty points."
She said that anyone travelling on a fast train into London from St Albans between 7.30am and 9am on weekdays would be, "very, very lucky to get a seat" although they might be able to on a slow or semi-slow train.
She added: "The way they treat their customers is outrageous. If cattle were treated that way, there would be people outside demonstrating. But I never expected it to go this far or wait so long for a summons."
A spokesperson for FCC said that anyone using first class with a standard ticket who didn't have the means to pay or refused to pay the penalty fare would be cautioned and prosecution would inevitably follow.
He pointed out that if a penalty fare was issued and paid, a passenger had the right to appeal but not if they refused.

Q: Auto row height - ignore height of first item I have a CSS Grid with 3 grid items. The first item is alone off to the left and the other 2 are stacked on top of each other in the second column. I am trying to make it so that the 2 items stacked on top of each other use auto height, disregarding the height of the first grid item(which is much taller). Unfortunately, since the left item and the top right item are in the same row, the top right item takes on the height of the taller item on the left. How can I resolve this?
Here's an example of my desired output:

.container {
  display:-ms-grid;
  display:grid;
  -ms-grid-columns: 70% 30%;
  grid-template-columns: 70% 30%;
  -ms-grid-rows:auto auto;
  grid-template-rows: auto auto;
}
.container .item.top {
  -ms-grid-column-span: 1;
  -ms-grid-column: 2;
  grid-column: 2 / span 1;
  -ms-grid-row-span: 1;
  grid-row: 2 / 2;
}

EDIT:
If you want the box on the top as you show on the image, you can increment the number of rowspans on the same code. But probably, you are using a grid syntax when you need only a simple inline-block or most simple float.
For the example of your image:

.container {
  display:-ms-grid;
  display:grid;
  -ms-grid-columns: 70% 30%;
  grid-template-columns: 70% 30%;
  -ms-grid-rows:auto auto;
  grid-template-rows: auto auto;
}
.container .item.tall {
  grid-column: 1;
  grid-row: 1 / span 4;
 }
.container .item.top {
  -ms-grid-column-span: 1;
  -ms-grid-column: 2;
  grid-column: 2 / span 1;
  -ms-grid-row-span: 1;
  grid-row: 2 / 2;
}

Q: Adding a CAShapeLayer goes out of bounds swift I'm trying to add a dark view to my previewLayer except my rectOfInterest, here is my code. videoPreviewLayer is my AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer and qrCodeFrameView is my rectOfInterest
let path = CGMutablePath()
        qrCodeView.clipsToBounds = true
        view.clipsToBounds = true
        path.addRect(videoPreviewLayer!.bounds)
        path.addRect(qrCodeFrameView.frame)

        let maskLayer = CAShapeLayer()
        maskLayer.path = path
        maskLayer.fillColor = UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.6).cgColor
        maskLayer.fillRule = .evenOdd

        videoPreviewLayer?.addSublayer(maskLayer)

but I get this how can I make the rect stay in bound?

A: This is a bit of a shot in the dark. But most likely the problem is that your views change position while your code for adding mask does not.
Assuming that you currently have the following code:
func applyMask() {
    let path = CGMutablePath()
    qrCodeView.clipsToBounds = true
    view.clipsToBounds = true
    path.addRect(videoPreviewLayer!.bounds)
    path.addRect(qrCodeFrameView.frame)

    let maskLayer = CAShapeLayer()
    maskLayer.path = path
    maskLayer.fillColor = UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.6).cgColor
    maskLayer.fillRule = .evenOdd

    videoPreviewLayer?.addSublayer(maskLayer)
}

func viewDidLoadOrSomeOtherInitKindOfMethod() {
    applyMask()
}

Then you need to just upgrade to
let maskLayer: CAShapeLayer?

func applyMask() {
    self.maskLayer?.removeFromSuperlayer()

    let path = CGMutablePath()
    qrCodeView.clipsToBounds = true
    view.clipsToBounds = true
    path.addRect(videoPreviewLayer!.bounds)
    path.addRect(qrCodeFrameView.frame)

    let maskLayer = CAShapeLayer()
    maskLayer.path = path
    maskLayer.fillColor = UIColor.black.withAlphaComponent(0.6).cgColor
    maskLayer.fillRule = .evenOdd

    videoPreviewLayer?.addSublayer(maskLayer)

    self.maskLayer = maskLayer
}

// Relevant if doing this in view controller:
open override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
    applyMask()
}

// Relevant if doing this in UIView using auto-layout
override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()
    applyMask()
}

// Relevant if doing this in UIView using manual setting of frame
override var frame: CGRect {
    didSet {
        applyMask()
    }
}

The key here is to recreate the mask every time your views change position. The mask needs to be preserved and removed before it is recreated. Then simply call the mask applying in methods that change your view sizes.

Q: Problem with MySQL VALUES using PHP variables I'm trying to send data from an AJAX call to database tables that are generated from PHP. I'm wrapping the MySQL queries in a function with for loops so I can create any number of tables on the fly. I have every part of it working except for the query that defines the VAULES. I'm trying to append an integer variable at the end of $usrscore so that as it loops through, my VALUES will be $usrscore1, $usrscore2, $usrscore3, etc. The problem is that it only picks up the integer as the value (i.e. 1, 2, 3) instead of using the entire variable (i.e. $usrscore1, $usrscore2, $usrscore3).
Concatenating doesn't work (i.e. "$usrscore" . $counter . ") and combining them as two separate variables doesn't work either (i.e. $usrscore + $counter). If I literally write out the variable with an integer at the end it works as expected but I need this to work in a loop.
Thanks!

A: as i guess you want to call a variable, but don't know it's name.
you must concatenate them like:
$myvar1 = 'hi there';
$str = 'myvar';
$int = 1;
echo ${$str.$int};

it must return
hi there

hope it helps

Images pour orchestre, L. 122, is an orchestral composition in three sections by Claude Debussy, written between 1905 and 1912.  Debussy had originally intended this set of Images as a two-piano sequel to the first set of Images for solo piano, as described in a letter to his publisher Durand as of September 1905.  However, by March 1906, in another letter to Durand, he had begun to think of arranging the work for orchestra rather than two pianos.

Scoring
Images pour orchestre is scored for a large orchestra consisting of 2 piccolos, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, oboe d'amore, cor anglais, 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 4 trumpets (in C), 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, field drum, tambourine, castanets, 2 harps, celesta, triangle, xylophone, cymbals, 3 bells, and strings.

Sections

I. Gigues (1909–1912)

The original title of Gigues was Gigues tristes. Debussy used his memories of England as inspiration for the music, in addition to the song "Dansons la gigue" by Charles Bordes and the Tyneside folk tune "The Keel Row", which are used as key themes. Revolving around Gigues are musical cells which give a sense of unity to the piece. Most are short motifs which appear once or twice or are reused in fragments throughout the piece. Other themes are long solo passages written particularly for the oboe d'amour.

There is debate over the role of André Caplet in the orchestration of Gigues.  Robert Orledge and Williametta Spencer have accepted that Caplet assisted with the orchestration.  According to François Lesure, however, the manuscript score in the Bibliothèque nationale (MS 1010) shows no evidence of Caplet's involvement.

II. Ibéria (1905–1908)
Ibéria is the most popular of the three orchestral Images and itself forms a triptych within the triptych. Its sections are:

Impressions of Spain inspired this music. Richard Langham Smith has commented on Debussy's own wish to incorporate ideas of juxtaposing elements of the visual arts in musical terms, including a quote from Debussy to Caplet from a letter of 26 February 1910: "You can't imagine how naturally the transition works between 'Parfums de la nuit' and 'Le Matin d'un jour de fête. Ça n'a pas l'air d'être écrit."

Matthew Brown has briefly commented on Debussy's use of techniques such as incomplete progressions, parenthetical episodes, and interpolations in Ibéria.

III. Rondes de printemps ("Round dances of spring") (1905–1909)

This is one of Debussy's most modern works. He used two folk tunes, "Nous n'irons plus au bois" and "Do, do l'enfant do" in this movement.  Brown, Dempster and Headlam have analyzed the tonal structure of this movement. The first song plays a prominent role from the start of the  time until the end of the movement, in the solos and in the accompaniments and countermelodies. Debussy had already quoted the song Nous n'irons plus au bois in Images oubliées of 1894 for piano and in Jardins sous la pluie from Estampes (1903).

Steve Carell's Space Force Launches On May 29: Cast, Trailer, Plot, & Episodes
The Office showrunner, Greg Daniels, and actor Steve Carell have united for another sitcom, titled, Space Force. This is the first time Carell and Daniels have worked together since Greg departed from The Office in 2011. Space Force is inspired by current US President Donald Trump's new military branch set up. Interestingly, the Space Force plot was reportedly created way before Trump launched the Space Force.
Space Force Trailer, Plot, and Release Date
After more than a year, Netflix's Space Force has a release date. It will launch on May 29, 2020, worldwide on Netflix. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming platform acquired the rights to the show after The Office became its most-watched series. Luckily, the production shutdown did not affect the series since filming completed before the ongoing pandemic.
On May 19, Netflix released the main trailer for Space Force. Two weeks before, it dropped the first trailer. On the whole, we see Carell as the leader of a newly formed sixth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces called the Space Force. But, obviously, he lacks the skill to do so but is apparently very determined.
Nevertheless, as part of the appointment, he moves to a remote part of Colorado with his family and, most importantly, gets to watch a chimp and a dog in a spacesuit floating in a microgravity environment, to which he says, 'That is cute! Mission accomplished'. But getting American boots on the moon and 'colonizing the galaxy' is the top priority.
Space Force Cast and Episode
Steve Carell and Lisa Kudrow appear together for the first time as husband and wife. Oscar-nominated actor John Malkovich plays as Dr. Adrian Mallory, a Space Force scientist. Parks And Recreation's Ben Schwartz portrays F. Tony Scarapiducci, Secretary of the Air Force. Moreover, actress and model Dianna Silvers plays Erin Naird, and comedian Tawny Newsome plays Angela Ali.
Jimmy O. Yang, Alex Sparrow, and Fred Willard also star alongside other recurring casts. The show marks the last television performance of Emmy nominated actor Fred Willard, who died on May 15, 2020.
The first season of the Space Force will have ten-episode. Among them, Steve Carell and Greg Daniels co-wrote the first one. What's more, the series is co-created and executive produced by Greg Daniels and Steve Carell.

Texas high school shooting suspect yelled 'surprise' and started firing, witness said

The community of Santa Fe gathered for a vigil to honor the victims of Friday's shooting at Santa Fe High School. A 17-year-old armed with a shotgun and a pistol opened fire, killing 10 people, most of them students, authorities said. (May 18) AP

The shooter who opened fire on Santa Fe High School, yelled "surprise" right before he started firing Friday morning, a witness recalls.
"There was a lot of blood a lot of glass," said Abel San Miguel, 15, recounting the horrors of his morning inside the art class where the gunman used a .38 caliber revolver and a shotgun to break through the door.
"Kyle and Chris, they were in the room with me," he said of two of the 10 victims.
"He just started firing at the door. And the little window that was on the door." Miguel says he hid behind the door as the gunman broke in and trained the shotgun on his friends.
"When he went to shoot Kyle, he like yelled 'surprise" and started firing. But that's all he said," Miguel said.

Guns: Texas school shooter used shotgun, pistol in deadly assault
Targets: 10 dead after gunman opens fire at Texas high school; student suspect in custody, explosives found
The suspect has been identified as 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, who faces charges of capital murder and aggravated assault of a peace officer.
San Miguel was at a Friday night vigil in a grass field behind the biggest bank in Santa Fe, Texas. There classmates, parents, teachers, and politicians prayed, joined hands, and sang two verses of Amazing Grace. And mourners, reeling from yet another school shooting massacre, embraced each other when the words and the verses, just weren't big enough to explain the grief they all feel.
Moms like Tina Young attended the vigil with her daughter who graduated from Santa Fe High last year. "I have friends that went to the school. And I've only heard from like five of them," said 2017 graduate Karyssa Bennett.
"We're just going to take it day by day and cry it out and just love each other and be glad we have each other," Young said.
Santa Fe has become yet another grieving American town that wants yet another gunman to explain why.
"I really didn't know him until all this happened," San Miguel said. "I just can't believe how wicked he is to do this to innocent people."

Gov't Deepens Understanding of International Standards for Responsible Business Practices
December 23, 2022 December 24, 2022 - Governance
The Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MoIC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have completed a series of training on responsible business practices for central and provincial Government Agencies in the Lao PDR.
Some 100 officials representing 11 Ministries in Vientiane and eight Departments from six of the country's northern provinces, learned about the benefits of upholding international standards for regulation of business activity.
Over the past decade, the Lao PDR has been one of the fastest-growing economies in ASEAN, recording average annual growth of up to 8 per cent. While business activity has underpinned much of this progress, it has often been at the expense of the environment and people's well-being.
Water and air pollution, loss of biodiversity, community relocations, unsafe working conditions, and unequal pay by irresponsible businesses have had a negative impact on the Lao PDR's sustainable development.
To ensure that business activity continues to progress and does not undermine development, it is critical that the Government embraces responsible business practices.
The UN Guiding Principles (UNGPs) on Business and Human Rights are the key international standard and practical roadmap to guide such progress.
"By strengthening the regulation of business activity in line with the UNGPs, we can ensure that each company, no matter the size or industry, is committed to a prosperous Lao PDR. Responsible business practices protect our natural resources and benefit communities and workers while enabling high-quality and sustainable investments – the key to the recovering from COVID-19 and the current economic challenges," Dr. Khamphet Vongdala, Director General of the Department of Planning and Cooperation, MoIC, stressed.
It is estimated that high-quality and sustainable investments now account for 10% of global fund assets, increasing from USD285 billion in 2019 to USD650 billion in 2021 – meaning Governments around the world are aligning regulations with international standards to gain new investment opportunities.
"A National Action Plan with clear Government priorities to align laws, policies and practices with the UNGPs is a powerful tool to attract high-quality and sustainable investments. 30 economies have already adopted such plans, and the Lao PDR should not be left behind in this global trend," said Mr. Seán O'Connell, UNDP Team Leader for Governance and Assistant Resident Representative.
"UNDP has supported development of National Action Plans in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Viet Nam, and we look forward to supporting the Government of the Lao PDR in its responsible business journey," said Mr. Seán O'Connell.
Local authorities are at the frontline of strengthening responsible business practices and well-positioned to ensure that a National Action Plan is fit for purpose. Provincial and District Government Agencies are responsible for issuing business licenses, monitoring business operations, and enforcing regulations, while also having a direct connection to communities.
"While the central level can ensure that a National Action Plan meets the Lao PDR's international responsibilities and UNGPs standards, local authorities are the key to aligning it with the real issues on the ground. We stand ready to contribute our experiences and support," Mr. Aot Sisavath, Deputy Head of the Luang Namtha Provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment, reflected.
The MoIC-UNDP series of training resulted in over 90 per cent of Government officials reporting an improved understanding of the UNGPs and the National Action Plan processes. It was organized under the "Improving Performance, Accountability, Conduct, and Transparency of Businesses in the Lao PDR" project, also known as IMPACT Biz, funded by the Government of Japan.

Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-7: Particular requirements for washing machines
IEC 60335-2-7:2019 is available as IEC 60335-2-7:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 60335-2-7:2019 deals with the safety of electric washing machines for household and similar use, that are intended for washing clothes and textiles, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. This standard also deals with the safety of electric washing machines for household and similar use employing an electrolyte instead of detergent. Additional requirements for these appliances are given in Annex CC. Guidance is given in Annex DD for requirements that can be used to ensure an acceptable level of protection against electrical and thermal hazards for washing machines fitted with a power driven wringer. Appliances not intended for normal household use but which nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard.
Examples of such appliances are washing machines for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by washing machines that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account:
– persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction;
– children playing with the appliance.
Attention is drawn to the fact that:
– for washing machines intended to be used in vehicles or on board ships or aircraft, additional requirements may be necessary;
– in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.
This standard does not apply to:
– washing machines intended exclusively for industrial purposes (ISO 10472-2);
– appliances intended to be used in locations where special conditions prevail, such as the presence of a corrosive or explosive atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);
– washing machines incorporating steam generating devices in which steam is produced at a pressure exceeding 50 kPa.
This eighth edition cancels and replaces the seventh edition published in 2008, Amendment 1: 2011 and Amendment 2:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
– requirements for steam generators in 3.1.9, 3.6.101, 19.101, 22.106, 22.107;
– additional definitions for washing machine types in 3.5.101,3.5.102, 3.5.103;
– revised temperature limits for external accessible surfaces in 11.3 and 11.8;
– revised test procedure for the spillage test in 15.2;
– additional requirements for appliances that are controlled by programmable electronic circuits that limit the number of heating elements and motors from being energised at the same time, Subclause 22.108.
This part 2 is to be used in conjunction with the latest edition of IEC 60335-1 and its amendments. It was established on the basis of the fifth edition (2010) of that standard.

Is it time to repair your BBQ? There are lots of companies out there offering maintenance and repair services. To make sure you find the right one, it's important to do your research. After you've done some shopping around and found some companies you like, there are certain questions you should ask before you make any agreement. In this post, we'll tell you exactly what to ask to make sure you avoid any potential scam artists.
How Long Have They Been in Business? – First and foremost, you should find out a little about the background of the company you're using. They should have years of experience, a great reputation, and a good track record of providing excellent service. As well as speaking to them, read their reviews and see what their customers have to say. That way, you can rest assured that you're hiring the pros.
What Type of Grills Do You Service? – Some companies that provide BBQ repair in Toronto only service certain types of grills. The last thing you want is to make an appointment and have them come out to your home or business, only to find that they can't help you. To save yourself from wasting time, make sure that they have the skills, knowledge, and specific parts for the specific grill that you have.
Should I Repair My Grill or Buy a New One? – When you call a BBQ repair company, tell them what problems you're having with your grill and ask them whether it's better to repair it or replace it altogether. You can use their response to gauge what kind of service you can expect from them. If they give you an honest answer, they're a good choice. However, you should be wary of companies that try to upsell, pushing you to pay for services that you don't really need.
What's Included in the Service? – Before you use any BBQ repair company in Toronto, it's important that you understand exactly what's included in their services. They should be open and direct about what you're paying for, laying out exactly what you can expect.
Are There Any Additional Charges? – Some companies will add extra charges onto their services, which give you a nasty surprise when you receive the bill. Make sure you're absolutely clear about how much you're required to pay for cleaning, repair, parts and labour. Otherwise, your BBQ maintenance could end up costing you more than you expect.
A good BBQ repair company has years of experience and expertise. Most importantly, they will be honest and upfront about what services they provide and how much they charge. At Ashton BBQ and Grill Pros, we have everything you need. Put your grill in our hands, and we'll give it a new lease of life. To find out what we can do for your BBQ, call us on 647-567-7767.
Winter is over, and as the weather starts to get better, it's time to start thinking about BBQ cleaning in Toronto. When you're doing it yourself, you could end up trying lots of different products before you find one that does the job. Along the way, there are certain cleaning products you should steer clear of. In this post, we'll tell you what they are.
Pressure Cleaning Cans – Using pressure cleaners might seem like a good way of removing grease and grime for your BBQ. In reality, it's a terrible one. This is because it can do more harm than good. Using pressurized air in this way doesn't remove grease. Instead, it simply moves it around. This causes it to end up in hard to reach places. Later down the line, it could mean your BBQ needs professional maintenance.
Wire Brushes – Cleaning brushes with wire brushes should absolutely never be used to clean a grill. If you do, you could end up biting off more than you can chew. The wire bristles can break off and stick to the grill. From there, they can be easily transferred to food and be eaten by unsuspecting BBQ guests. This can cause choking, pain and severe discomfort. In cases when they can't be removed, surgery may even be required.
Corrosive Cleaners – If left for too long without cleaning, BBQs accumulate a large build-up of stubborn grease that can be extremely difficult to remove. Fed up of scrubbing and scraping, some people turn to corrosive cleaning products. While these will certainly cut through the grease, they're not suitable for BBQs. These products can cause burns if they come into contact with the skin or eyes. It goes without saying that they should never come into contact with food.
All-Purpose Cleaners – All-in-one cleaning products often contain substances which can be dangerous. This can include ammonia, carcinogenic nitrosamines and nonulphenol ethoxylates. In simple terms, they can be harmful to your health. They can irritate the skin, eyes and throat, cause migraines, and even have implications for reproductive health. It's best to avoid all-purpose products and instead use something that's specially-formulated for cleaning BBQs. That way, you don't have to worry about potential health issues as a result.
If you'd rather save yourself the trouble of cleaning your BBQ yourself, you can hire professionals to do it for you. We offer a number of services for BBQ cleaning in Toronto. The first is a basic cleaning, to make sure all of the parts are free of dirt and fit for use. For those looking for a more thorough service, we also offer an ultimate cleaning. This involves removal of up to 95% of all dirt and grease, followed by a complete repaint and polish. After that, your BBQ will be sparkling. To book our specialist cleaning services, contact us today.
Have you ever tried to fix your BBQ yourself? It can be a difficult process, and with the time and money it takes to get it done, it's often not worth it. Professional maintenance services can make it much easier. Read on to find out why you should let the pros do the fitting for you.
Complete BBQ Inspection – When you get professionals to install your replacement BBQ parts, they'll also carry out a thorough inspection. While they're at it, they'll even clear your firebox. This means that any potential issues can be identified ahead of time, reducing the need for extra maintenance in the future. As a result, you'll save money on your BBQ maintenance.
Quality Parts – When you're shopping for BBQ parts in Toronto yourself, it can be hard to know which ones to choose. Unless you're experienced in this type of maintenance, you may not be able to tell the difference between quality parts that will last and duds that will break after a few uses. You could even end up buying the wrong parts altogether and end up having to go back to the store to exchange them. BBQ pros know exactly which parts to use, so you don't have to shop around.
Skilled Specialists –While DIY fitting might seem like a simple task or a fun project at best, a slight slip up could be dangerous. If parts aren't fitted correctly, they could lead to gas leakages. Professional contractors have all the knowledge and expertise to take care of your BBQ the right way. They'll make sure everything works as it should.
Save Time – Buying and fitting everything yourself is a time-consuming task. Why waste time doing it yourself when professionals can do it for you in an instant? Let the pros do the work for you, so you can spend time on things that are more important to you.
Better Taste – When a BBQ isn't properly maintained, food that's been cooked on it doesn't taste quite as good. This is sometimes because it isn't cooked as evenly as it should be. Professionals will fit new BBQ parts in Toronto and tune everything up to avoid this problem.
A BBQ that Looks as Good as New – When the right parts are fitted the right way, your BBQ will look as good as it did the day you bought it. Regular upkeep will extend its lifespan, so you can keep using it for years to come.
It's easy to forget about BBQ maintenance until it's time to use it. The summer rolls around, you pull out the BBQ, and suddenly realize it needs fixing. That can really dampen your summer party plans! At Ashton BBQ and Grill Pros, we offer a once-a-year maintenance service. We can fix everything for in the spring, well ahead of time. Sign up for our convenient yearly service, and we'll give you a discounted rate.
One of the best features of summer is undoubtedly the BBQs. There aren't many better feelings than cooking your own food al fresco surrounded by the ones your love, but it does come with one major downside – cleaning it. But BBQ cleaning in Toronto is incredibly important and something you won't want to skip – here's why.
We all know the feeling – you've probably eaten one hamburger too many, and right now all you want to do is lay down. Cleaning the grill can't be further from the list of things you want to do. But, if you neglect it, it'll only get worse.
There's no denying that – whilst it may be a chore – cleaning one use's worth of burnt-on food is much easier than leaving it for several uses before you attempt to clean it. Don't get to the point where you have to buy a completely new grill rack – clean it after each use.
If you're sitting down to enjoy a hotdog cooked on the grill, then it should be a hotdog that you taste – not the remnants of last week's cook out. Not only will it taste bad, if you're catering for people that have specific dietary requirements then it could lead to several other problems down the line. Don't eat last month's food today – clean your BBQ!
BBQ cleaning in Toronto is not just done to help your food taste better – it will save you money too. If you're not on top of your cleaning, then the rust, oils and food pieces that come with using your BBQ could see your grill breaking down and becoming unusable.
Cleaning your BBQ is definitely a cheaper option compared to buying a completely new one, so make sure you're on top of it if you want it to last as long as possible.
Grilling food on a BBQ comes with a certain carcinogenic risk. Whilst this is manageable through steps such as higher-quality meats, marinating it and grilling sensibly, a further great way to reduce the amount of carcinogens is to clean your grill.
Carcinogenic residue builds up on the grill over time, so by cleaning and scraping it off, you're reducing the amount that may transfer over onto your food.
You wouldn't eat off a food-covered plate that's been outside for weeks, so don't do the same with your grill. BBQ cleaning in Toronto will remove harmful bacteria, helping you prevent anyone who eats from your grill from getting sick.
Nobody looks forward to cleaning a grill, but after reading about the consequences of not cleaning, we're sure you agree it's the lesser of two evils. To save money and keep those who eat from your grill in good health, make sure to clean your BBQ after each use.
Can you smell it already? The delicious smell of grilled meat fresh off the BBQ? It's one of the definitive smells of the summer – but if you're not keeping an eye on your grill, then that smell might not be around for much longer. If you need BBQ repair in Toronto, here are some red flags you might come across.
We've all experienced the pushy salesman who's desperate for a commission and will try anything to push products onto you that you don't want and don't need. When trying to get BBQ repairs in Toronto, if the person you call tries to sell you products, then you need to call someone else. It would be hard to distinguish between whether you have a genuine problem with your BBQ or if they just see dollar signs when looking at you, so make sure you're only enlisting the services of a repairman who's sincere and only wants to repair your BBQ.
Many people are shy when the topic of money comes up and are reluctant to ask "how much?", but you're well within your rights to know. If the repairman is reluctant to give you a quote, then alarm bells should be ringing. The advantage of a quote is that it gives you a rough guide as to how much you could expect to pay and you can compare it with other contractors to check it's fair. If they're reluctant to give you one, you could be in for a nasty shock when it comes to settling the bill.
Just because someone helped to repair your furnace doesn't mean that they should be called to fix your BBQ – it's completely different. Whilst some may be willing to give it a go, you should stay clear of them. Not only could they do more harm than good, it will take them a lot longer and run you up a bigger bill in terms of labour costs. There are plenty of contractors for BBQ repairs in Toronto without having to turn to someone who isn't qualified or experienced, so don't.
If you call a BBQ repair company and they don't put you in touch with their previous customers, what are they trying to hide? It's a great way to learn about the professionalism and practices of a business, so make sure you can talk to them.
Remember, it's your BBQ and you have plenty of contractors to choose from. IF they pressure you into a decision you should avoid them – you shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable about it.
By searching on the internet and asking friends and family, you'll quickly sort the good guys from the bad guys. Do your research and be confident, and you won't have a problem with getting your BBQ repaired.

Romney and Obama differ sharply on education choice and control
By Robert G. Holland
Now that Mitt Romney has taken a stand for local and parental control of education and against federalized Common Core standards and tests, the issue of education has come into sharp focus in the presidential race. The distinctions could become even clearer and education might even become a key issue, depending on how the Obama/Romney debates play out beginning Wednesday. At the September 25 Education Nation Summit in New York, Romney said that as president he would propose incentives for states to offer parents plenty of information to help them choose the best schools for their children. To do what Washington can to generate more choices, Romney said he would link money from IDEA and Title I — the two huge programs for special-needs and low-income children — to students rather than to bureaucracies, so that affected families could choose the schools, public or private, best for them. In effect, that would be a nationwide extension of the successful experiment with school choice vouchers in Washington, D.C., that Congress first authorized in 2002 and which the Obama administration has repeatedly tried to kill. Romney also minced no words when asked about federal aid to help the 46 Common Core states pay the costs of implementation, which have been estimated at upwards of $16 billion. They're "on their own" because education is a state responsibility, he said — and besides Washington already is $16 trillion in the red and counting. Here begins a major point of difference with President Obama, who used $4.5 billion of borrowed "stimulus" money for a Race to the Top that pressured money-hungry states to adopt the Common Core curricular prescriptions even before they had been released. In his Education Nation interview with NBC's Savannah Guthrie, Obama called Race to the Top his "key reform" and said he would seek to expand it in a second term. This is how he put it: "What we've said to school districts is, 'You've gotta emphasize high accountability, high standards. Make sure that teachers know that we're going to be paying attention to the actual outcomes for kids. But we're also going to give more resources to schools who are doing the right thing: training teachers, providing them the professional development and support they need." The editorial "we" in that comment could be called the federal "we," because Obama plainly is talking about his administration calling the shots through the standards and the linked assessments (which are currently being developed with another $360 million of federal taxpayer money). Teachers would be accountable for meeting federally defined "outcomes" and trained to federal specifications. Obama said he is "a big proponent of charter schools." (He stoutly opposes school vouchers, however.) When independently managed, charters can give parents some choice within the public school system. However, if they are to be under the same Common Core umbrella as regular public schools, there will be precious little real choice. The ultimate choice will rest with voters on November 6. Which course would be more likely to improve the quality of K-12 schooling: Obama's plan for continued federalization via incentive grants, regulation, and conditional waivers, or Romney's plan to empower consumers and restore local control? When NBC's Brian Williams asked his take on the Common Core standards, Romney did not waffle as some supporters of local control had feared he might: "I don't subscribe to the idea of the federal government trying to push a Common Core on various states," said the former Massachusetts governor. "It's one thing to put it out as a model and let people adopt it as they will, but to financially reward states based upon accepting the federal government's idea of a curriculum, I think, is a mistake. And the reason I say that is that there may be a time when the government has an agenda that it wants to promote." Prior to that response, there had been uncertainty about Romney's position, given that local-control advocates were unable to get a statement of opposition to the Common Core into the GOP platform at the party's convention in Tampa. In addition, several past and present Republican governors, including Romney education adviser Jeb Bush, have backed the national standards.

There is little doubt that we live in interesting and many would say, troubled, times. Across the globe we're seeing more terrorist attacks, or at least more reported ones, spanning a spectrum of isolated individuals with mental health issues to highly planned attack by an extremist group. Then we have the Americans nominating Donald Trump as a presidential candidate and the British voting to leave the EU: neither of which were in any way predicted 12 months ago. What's going on! Are these developments, puzzling and worrying to many, a sign of some underlying trend, a Zeitgeist?
If so, it's not the only one.
Since probably the 1980s, the Reagan/Thatcher era, we've had the Zeitgeist of personal ambition, or going for and getting whatever you can get. And that's applied at the level of individual, corporation and nation.
Since the 1960s there's been the 'alternative' Zeitgeist, closely linked to the peace movement: all sorts of campaigns against war, exploitation and over-commercialisation.
One facet of the above, the 'anti-establishment' Zeitgeist, may underlie the Trump bandwagon, the UK rebellion against the EU and a rise of far-right, fascist or nationalistic parties across Europe. Many folks are just fed up of being told what to do by career politicians and bureaucrats who are out-of-touch with how ordinary folks are feeling.
And it's not just establishment politicians who are feeling the brunt of popular back-lash. In the UK at least, high profile corporate scandals (e.g. the failure of BHS and ethics of Sports Direct) are highlighting the need for a better moral compass in all walks of life.
Perhaps underlying all of this is a 'we've had enough' Zeitgeist: a coming together of the desire for personal freedom with the realisation that many of those we've been trusting to run our business and governments actually don't have our interests at heart . .. because they no longer have a heart!
After decades of society being dominated by the belief that humans, or rather a few powerful ones, can control everything (from financial stability to the world food production) and that this will mean health and happiness for all of us, the truth is beginning to dawn: money, power, technology are merely tools. It's the intent behind them that matters. And, what we all need is to feel valued, to feel that those in charge care about us.
All that's going on in the world today, with the worst aspects of human behaviour hitting our screen and streets are no more and no less than the results of how we've been living and thinking over recent decades. They are a wake-up call. Yes, this dis-order and unhappiness is the current Zeitgeist, but it need only be temporary phase.
If we heed the underlying message, if we respond to the real needs that have triggered all these worrying developments, then a very different Zeitgeist can and will be enabled: let's call it the Zeitgeist of and for 'decent human beings', the restoration of balance between those in power and the rest, the restoration of balance between how we think and how we feel.
Some call it Emotional Intelligence, some call it conscious evolution, but those who understand it best know that it's something, like any true Zeitgeist, that cannot be put into words: it's no more and no less than the irrepressible human spirit reasserting itself.
The more we acknowledge it, the more the Zeitgeist will build. The more committed we all are to balancing our heads, heart and hands, the sooner we create a balanced, harmonious society.
At times it won't be easy. I can see and admit how spoilt the 'personal ambition' Zeitgeist has encouraged me to become. I've become aware of how easy I like things to be. But I've also seen that progress comes not by trying to control things or other people, but by taking the time and effort to understand other perspectives and by finding empathy and compassion for those who, for whatever reason, are different from me. The emerging Zeitgeist is of 'one humanity'. Not just a global economy and ecosystem, but a genuine, practical, recognition that we are all in this together. In order not just to prosper but to survive, we have to recognise our common humanity and remind ourselves what that means: we are all thinking, feeling, human beings.

Review: Between the World and Me
By Neslandia In Blog, Book Review
Category: A book chosen for you by your spouse, sibling, child, or BFF
Between The World and Me is a powerful and challenging book that possesses a unique ability to put into words, to grab out of the air and solidify those fleeting yet sometimes painful moments of what it means to be black in America. Time after time I found myself stopping and saying, often out loud, there it is, that's what it feels like. It was simultaneously refreshing and condemning to hear phrases and mindsets from my childhood repeated but then exposed for what they really were. I found myself reading his words while replaying my memories as though watching episodes of different shows written by the same writers. While I identify personally with much of what Coates has to say, I do take issue with the destination of the truths.
My 3 Word Review was, "Not For Everyone"
Between The World and Me bore an almost impossible yet undeniable burden to explain even to the different parts of myself if what I was reading was insightful or inciting. I read lines that expressed beyond measure the complete accuracy of what it is to live in this country and wear this skin. Even while reading I simultaneously wished others would absorb these words while also rejecting its notions as hate mongering and unhelpful to the conversation.
The book, a letter from a father to his son, chronicles Coates' own past and interpretations of those events. He recounts the "because we're black" rules of life I've heard my whole life and have even been guilty of echoing, but somehow, hearing them from him, from someone not my mother, not my uncle, not my brother, not another black person trying to protect their body, and their mind, revealed a double and terrible standard.
"… I love you and I love the world… But you are a black boy, and you must be responsible for your body in a way that other boys cannot know."
"Black people love their children with a kind of obsession. You are all we have, and you come to us endangered. I think we would like to kill you ourselves before seeing you killed by the streets that made America."
"All my life I'd heard people tell their black boys and black girls to "be twice as good" which is to say accept half as much.
Recounting a story about a white man who said, "I could have you arrested" – "But I am not ashamed because I am a bad father, a bad individual or ill mannered. I am ashamed that I made an error, knowing that our errors cost us more.
Each sentence hit like a distant voice of over from my mother. Real, profound, and more of a memory than a memoir.
But you need more than truth when those truths lead to a waste land. Don't just describe the garbage dump, tell me how to get out of it.
Coates lays out the past and even present dangers of American racism, classism and "Us vs. Them" but leaves no hope for tomorrow. As if we needed to be reminded of the fresh wound that weeps before us, Coates doesn't just depict it as a problem but a permanent fixture of our lives today and in ages to come.
"History is not solely in our hands. And still you are called to struggle, not because it assures you victory but because it assures you an honorable and sane life."
"And no one would be brought to account for this destruction (my life), because my death would not be the fault of any human but the fault of some unfortunate but immutable fact of "race,"….
Speaking on turning from old behaviors – "It is still too difficult for most Americans to do this. But that is your work. It must be, if only to preserve the sanity of your mind.
This is both irresponsible and dangerous. When you place the present faults, deep as they may be, as permanent stains that we must live with, struggle for struggle's sake, what are we left with? What hope do we have for a better, more dignified us? How can we dream about the future when it's already written in the pity of today? How can we tell our kids they can when history has already said they aren't allowed? Don't steal what hasn't been birthed. Don't snatch away what has yet to be created. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, are kin, yet live in separate homes. When Yesterday crashes Tomorrow's party Today has to take him home because he's drunk.
Coates own story seems to contradicts his interpretations of life. His father, William Paul Coates, is the founder of Black Classic Press, and his mother, Cheryl Waters, financially supported the family, giving Coates the freedom to dream, achieve and stand where he is today, a New York Times Bestseller. His fresh footprints show a path out of the despair and onto world stages. Where did he produce such a future? Where did he conjure up such a power that changed what can not be changed, to move what will not be budged?
Coates, a self proclaim "godless man" does what he can with the future he sees. He is not blind to what should be, but is intentionally ignorant to what can be.
Black America is long from stuck. There is ground to take yet we are as in control of our own destiny as any eagle soaring through the clouds above us. Is there truth here, yes. But unfortunately it is masked in a deep and unnecessary shroud of hopelessness.

New Mexico State Engineer Hearing Examiner Uday V. Joshi issued a Report and Recommendation Granting Motions for Summary Judgement in the matter of Augustin Plains Ranch's ("APR") application to appropriate groundwater. Examiner Joshi found in favor of APR on certain procedural questions but ultimately denied the application as speculative.
The Report and Recommendation involves APR's Corrected Application to appropriate 54,000 AF/year of groundwater from 37 wells in the Rio Grande Underground Water Basin. The place of use was identified as "parts of Catron, Sierra, Socorro, Valencia, Bernalillo, Sandoval, and Santa Fe Counties," but did not specify any particular municipalities or end-users.
The Corrected Application follows a previous application to appropriate groundwater that was denied by the State Engineer in March 2012, with the court affirming the denial in January 2013.
The first three arguments were rejected with the examiner noting that the application was administratively complete—all of the required information was provided on the application form—and that it was substantively different from the previous application.
Examine Joshi also noted that both Colorado and New Mexico require that a water right be perfected within a reasonable amount of time. The Colorado Supreme Court explained this diligence requirement in Vermillion Ranch Ltd., Partnership v. Raftopoulous Brothers (2013).
Concluding the analysis, Examiner Joshi quoted from Colorado's Vidler case, noting that approval of the application "would 'encourage those with vast monetary resources to monopolize, for personal profit rather than for beneficial use, whatever unappropriated water remains,'" and further maintained that "approval of the Corrected Application would be contrary to long established principles of the law of prior appropriation…" Recommendations include approving the motions for summary judgement and denying the Corrected Application as speculative.
Examiner Johsi also addressed APR's argument against summary judgement asserting that the State Engineer was required to hold an evidentiary hearing and must consider the full merits of the application. Examiner Joshi relied on the practice of the State Engineer since its inception, the lack of issues of disputed material fact, and that fact that parties both in favor of and opposed to summary judgement participated in the hearing to determine that dismissal on summary judgement conforms with New Mexico law.
Following the Report and Recommendation, APR filed a Notice of Appeal De Novo and an Expedited Request for Post-Decision Evidentiary Hearing maintaining they are entitled to a full evidentiary hearing under New Mexico law.
In the Expedited Request, APR cites the New Mexico Supreme Court decision in D'Antonio v. Garcia (2008) to note that "NMSA 1978, Section 72-2-16 provides a statutory right to a post-decision 'full evidentiary hearing' by 'any person aggrieved by the decision,' so long as the decision was made without a prior evidentiary hearing and the request for hearing 'is made in writing within thirty days after receipt by certified mail of notice of the decision.'" APR maintains that they filed the Expedited Request in a timely manner as required, that they were aggrieved by the decision to summarily denied the Corrected Application, and that by not holding a full evidentiary hearing, they were not afforded the opportunity to present evidence.

Close slams attack on loyalist critic
Alliance Assembly member Seamus Close has said he would be unsurprised if loyalists carried out an attack on the home of Church of Ireland rector, the Rev Earl Storey.
Mr Close said: "I condemn this attack, no matter where it came from, unreservedly."
"But even the rector himself suspects this was the work of loyalists, who resent his views on the need to distance the Church of Ireland from the Orange Order."
"As has been shown in recent days by two attacks on fellow Alliance councillors who complained about terrorist murals, it seems that loyalist paramilitaries are on a mission to intimidate anyone – regardless of religion – who criticises aspects of loyalist culture."
"This is a sinister development, and can only be described as the work of modern day fascists. They seem unable to face up to constructive criticism, particularly when it is put in an intelligent manner."
