April 6, 2020 Articles & TV, Campaign No Comments
PROVIDENCE — Count West Warwick caterer Kevin Millonzi among the Rhode Islanders who got a letter from their insurance companies telling them they were not entitled to anything under their "business interruption" policies because the government shut them down.
There is no question, the executive orders that Governor Raimondo issued to try to minimize the spread of the coronavirus led to cancellation after cancellation and ultimately to the layoff of all of Millonzi Fine Catering's employees.
"If you paid a policy premium, why should you go have to go borrow the money to put yourself back in business?" he said Monday.
"That's why we took these insurance policies out, for the worst-case scenario," Millonzi said. "To me this is probably the worst-case scenario that has ever happened to any business ever … in the history of the world."
Millonzi says he has hired a lawyer to ready a lawsuit — akin to the lawsuit that well-known California restaurateur filed against a unit of The Hartford.
Rick Simone, executive director of the Federal Hill Commerce Association, says he is aware of dozens of business owners who received similar letters from their insurance companies, advising them their business losses as a result of the pandemic are not covered.
More than one Rhode Island lawmaker, including Rep. Joseph McNamara, the state Democratic Party chairman, have pledged to introduce legislation to require commercial insurance companies to cover certain coronavirus-related losses.
On Monday, Rep. John Lombardi, a Providence Democrat who represents Federal HIll, provided The Journal a draft of his bill, titled: "Covid-19 Pandemic Insurance Recovery Act."
The stated intent: to provide "a mechanism by which certain businesses that suffer losses due to an interruption as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic may recover those losses from their insurer if they had a policy of business interruption insurance in force on March 9, 2020, the date on which the Governor declared a Public Health Emergency and State of Emergency."
The legislation would apply to businesses with fewer than 100 employees, and it leaves a door open for the insurance companies to "apply to the Department of Business Regulation insurance division for relief and reimbursement from funds collected and made available for this purpose."
With the legislative session suspended, there is no way for any lawmaker to introduce a bill right now, but McNamara, D-Warwick, vowed in late March to try to address the same problem by requiring "insurers to approve claims notwithstanding any virus exclusions or policy requirements that there also be property damage accompanying the business interruption."
The response? David A. Sampson, president and CEO of the American Property Casualty Insurance Association says his industry "opposes these types of proposals, as they could compromise the financial ability of insurers to meet their existing promises."
"Spring flooding season is underway and hurricane season is around the corner. The people who rely on insurers to keep their everyday promises made in existing insurance policies should not be put at risk."
"Only the federal government can be the bridge for a crisis of this proportion," he said. in an email.
As for when the legislature might reconvene, House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello and Senate President Dominick Ruggerio have submitted an op-ed to The Journal, that says, in part:
"Yes, the General Assembly will need to reconvene in the coming months. However, due in large part to the issues we have collaboratively addressed with the Governor, we will not need to meet during the height of the pandemic.
"We are exploring the possibility of limited remote sessions, but we prefer to legislate in person to ensure public access," they said.
"Some have scoffed at the suggestion that there are Rhode Islanders who do not possess the sophistication or economic privilege to participate in remote meetings, but if you have ever hosted a neighborhood meeting at a senior center or sat through a hearing on transportation funding you know the most vulnerable Rhode Islanders will not have the ability to participate in remote meetings."

Theresa May is to meet with Caribbean leaders to discuss the plight of immigrants who arrived in the UK more than 50 years ago - as it emerged that some have been deported by mistake.
Jamaican immigrants being welcomed by RAF officials from the Colonial Office after the ex-troopship Empire Windrush landed them at Tilbury.
The Prime Minister agreed to meet the officials at the Commonwealth Heads of Government summit in London, after a row erupted over Downing Street's initial refusal to set up talks.
Many British residents who came from the Caribbean with their parents as part of a post-war rebuilding effort have been threatened with deportation following a tightening of the immigration rules.
Others have lost out on employment, healthcare and housing because they have been unable to prove their immigration status.
More than 100 MPs from all parties wrote to the Prime Minister expressing their anger at the treatment of the immigrants.
The Prime Minister's spokesman insisted she was not aware of the request, which came from 12 Caribbean countries, until this morning.
But in a major climbdown, he said Mrs May would now meet with the representatives - and said the Home Office will issue updated guidance later in a bid to solve the problem.
The spokesman said: "She deeply values the contribution made by these and all Commonwealth citizens who have made a life in the UK and is making sure the Home Office is offering the correct solution for individual situations.
"She's aware that many people are unlikely to have documents that are over 40 years old and she is clear that no one with the right to be here will be made to leave. You can expect further details to be given by the Home Office later today."
He added that the Prime Minister believed their treatment was "a matter of regret".
However, in a further blow to the Government, immigration minister Caroline Nokes confirmed that that some Windrush immigrants had already been deported in error.
Asked about the fate of those who had already been removed from the country by the Home Office, Nokes told ITV news: "There have been some horrendous situations which, as a minister, have appalled me."
However, the minister could not give an estimate for the number of people affected.
"I don't know the numbers," she said. "But what I'm determined to going forward is to say we'll have no more of this. We want people to have confidence to come to the Home Office. We want to give them a message of reassurance because I value these people."
That sparked a furious response from Labour MP David Lammy. He said: "This is a national disgrace. These individuals must be returned to their homes. I am shocked and appalled at what our nation has become, walking to a dog-whistle toxic and anti-immigrant tune has led us down this path and now innocent people have been deported."

MOUNT MAGAZINE - officially named magazine mountain- WITH AN ELEVATION OF 839 M (2,753 FT) IS THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN THE STATE OF ARKANSAS.
Name: Mount Magazine (Magazine Mountain)

Read our Introduction to the Colorado 14ers
Introduction to Mount Magazine.
Mount Magazine is a part of Ouachita Mountain Range and it is located in the Mount Magazine State Park, approximately 27 km (17 mi) south of Paris, Logan County, Arkansas.
Mount Magazine State Park is a well-developed state park that offers a complete package of services, campsites and outdoor activities as well as great hiking trails and various observation areas. Besides various activities, such as rock climbing, horseback riding, biking, etc., the mountain is also a habitat of black bears, whitetail deers, bobcats and coyotes as well as other animal species.
The mountain is a flat-topped plateau with a sandstone top surrounded by abrupt rock cliffs. The mountain has two peaks on a to of the plateau - Signal Hill, which reaches 839 m (2,753 ft), and Mossback Ridge - 823 m (2,700 ft). Signal Hill is the highest point in the whole state of Arkansas and the main attraction of Mount Magazine State Park.
According to stories, Mount Magazine gets its name from the time when French explorers were traveling through the area and a landslide occurred on the mountain. One of the explorers astonished by the magnitude of a noise caused by the landslide described it as the sound of an ammunition magazine exploding. The explorers then named the mountain "Magazine".
CLIMBING MOUNT MAGAZINE
The trail that leads to the highest peak of Arkansas - Signal Hill in an enjoyable 2,3 km (1,4 mi) loop trail. It starts at Cameron Bluff Campground.
There is some climbing on the Signal Hill Trail, but not too much as there is less than 200 feet elevation difference between the lowest and the highest points of the trail.
To reach the loop you only need to walk 15 m (50 ft) from the campground. Once you are there, it is advisable to take a left and do the loop clockwise, but if you prefer a steeper and shorter route to the highpoint, choose right.
From here the trail heads fairly straight to the southeast direction for the next 0,6 km (0,4 mi) toward House Gap - the small, flat area that lies between Signal Hill and Mossback Ridge.
After walking uphill for about 0,3 km (0,2 mi), the trail starts to go down and then makes a sudden right turn at a spur. Here you are almost in the House Gap area and you are about 9 m (30 ft) lower than the trailhead. At this point, if you turned left and followed the spur, you would be able to reach the Mossback Ridge trail. But if you still wish to continue to the highest summit, take a right as well as at the next junction, then follow the trail headed uphill to the highpoint. At the top, you will find the Highpoint Monument - a 400-square foot rock display shaped like the state of Arkansas. From here, the trail descends downhill for further 0,8 km (0,5 mi) heading back to the trailhead.
TREKKING AROUND MOUNT MAGAZINE
There are plenty of routes to hike around Mount Magazine. They vary in length and a total trail system in the park is almost 14 km (9 mi).
If you are looking for something short and easy – the Benefield Wildlife Trail might be just for you. It is a 1,6 km (1 mi) hike starting at Benefield Picnic Area. This trail lies through a both pine and hardwood forest and leads to a pond, surrounded by wildflowers. From the pond, the Benefield Trail heads back to the highway to the initial trailhead.

What to take on a hike
If you are up to something a bit more challenging you can walk up to Mossback Ridge from the same Benefield Wildlife pond, where the Mossback Ridge Trail begins. It is a 3,2 km (2 mi) hike up to the second Mount Magazine summit. Following this route, you can also connect with Signal Hill Trail and Greenfield Trail.
Finally, if you are up for an extended hike the Cove Lake Trail is an obvious choice. It is a 15 km (9,3 mi) trek, that can be completed in only 5 hours and it commences from Cameron Bluff Drive, Corley and Cove Lake, Green Bench Road. It is a slightly tougher route, rated as strenuous and is considered to be perfect for beginner backpackers.

I quite enjoyed White Widdow's debut album. These Australians managed to capture the mid eighties AOR vibe to perfection. Second album "Serenade" delivers more of the same, I'm glad to report.
Opening track "Cry Wolf" delivers a statement of intent not to be ignored. Wouldn't be out of place on an early Night Ranger album. It's very hard to pick a weaker track. Whether it's "Do You Remember", "How Far I Run" or "Patiently", they are all basically flawless. If you like White Sister, Icon or the aforementioned Night Ranger, you can't go wrong with these guys.
Between the big keyboards and excellent guitar work (and I do mean excellent, Enzo Almanzi is a master of his instrument) it's easy to overlook the other members. But the simple fact is there isn't a weak link in this band. Everything just slots right into place.
Here is a band with a clear objective : to make classic AOR, with all the trappings that entails. And they succeed magnificently. Everything, from the keyboard tapestries to the guitar tones to the vocals is spot on. Even the big gated snare drum is present and accounted for.
I've said this before, but these tracks wouldn't be out of place in a random Miami Vice episode. Glossy, glamorous (but far removed from Glam!!) and glorious!

Bad puns aside, debut album "Last Of The Runaways" is a bona fide classic. Unfortunately, the band never managed to capitalize on their masterpiece. Follow-up "Time To Burn" was decidedly lackluster, and the changing times drove the last nail home.
Comeback album "III" has its merits, but failed to capture the hearts of AOR fans.
And now we are presented with "Promise Land". A Giant album without Dan Huff.
The good news : musically, it's classic Giant. Winger guitarist John Roth does a great job, and the songs are all quite strong. The spirit of Last Of The Runaways runs proudly through the veins of this album.
The not so good news : Terry Brock isn't Dan Huff. Make of that what you want. Huff's voice was a big factor in Giant. Brock sounds more generic, for lack of a better word. Still, the man is a damn fine singer, and it's not like he disappoints here.
What you are left with in the end is a bloody good AOR album, which definitely deserves to be released under the Giant banner. I had some preconceptions about a Huff-less Giant, but they melted like snow in the Sahara once I gave the album its first spin.

Dutch band Terra Nova have released four albums so far, all of which have completely passed beneath my radar. Will this, their second album for Frontiers and fifth overall, put these guys on the map?
Refreshingly, this isn't an AOR album in the strict sense. Remember the heady days of "pomp rock"? That's what I'm hearing here. Think Magnum or old Styx, wrapped up in a mildly proggy metallic jacket.
There's a certain homegrown quality to this album. Is it the slightly ramshackle production? The rather abrupt endings to certain songs? The energetic aura is undeniable though. Check out "Holy Grail", "Those Eyes" or "Who Can You Count On" to get an idea of what this band is about.
A nice change from the almost formulaic AOR releases I've been reviewing lately.

One of a true new breed of progressive metallers adding their own sound to the genre are arguably Sweden's leaders in the genre Seventh Wonder. "The Great Escape" marks the bands fourth release following up the hugely successful "Mercy Falls" which saw the band play Sweden Rock Festival and Prog Power USA. Prog forums worldwide are littered with praise for the band and if the amount of exposure the video single "Alley Cat" has received is anything to go by (55k hits in 2 month on YouTube) then the new album looks set to propel the band further, that is presuming its any good!
Luckily as a long-time fan of the band, this is arguably the best release yet from the band, certainly the best in terms of delivering an identifiable sound of their own. Led by the charismatic vocals of Tommy Karevik, the band perform melodic laden, yet instrumentally rich and exciting music from the opener "Wiseman" with its strident metallic delivery to the bona-fide epic closing 30 minute title track; which despite its intimidating track length delivers on all fronts. But what sets this album apart from predecessor is that despite all the first class musicianship on offer (from every member no less), it's the songs that ultimately shine though. The aforementioned "Alley Cat" has a deliciously swooping chorus refrain, the AOR inflections in "The Angelmaker" contrast nicely with the darker elements of the track whilst the melodic content again shines on "Move On Through" which has a tremendous groove in the riff department. Overall there is something to really enjoy on every track.
Production wise this is solid, certainly the best yet from the band, and everything is nicely audible which makes hearing the likes of Andreas Blomqvist's exquisite bass work in its full glory just another joy of the album.
'Mercy Falls' saw Seventh Wonder come of age. "The Great Escape" sees them take a strident step towards being a true powerhouse in the prog metal genre and comes highly recommended.

Frontiers can't find enough superlatives for Issa it seems. You'd be forgiven for thinking she's the best thing to come along since not only sliced bread but warm water as well.
There's no denying we're dealing with a young lady who is quite easy on the eyes. One who's blessed with a decent (if not exceptional) set of pipes, even. But there's a vibe of Britney-goes-metal about the whole promotion that doesn't sit well with me.
Frontiers drummed up a solid backing band and got some outside songwriting help. Inspiration can't be bought however and, much like on the Kiske/Somerville release, we're left with an album that reeks of day job tedium.
Most of the songs will leave you wondering "where have I heard this before".
Understandably so. You get the expected mishmash of "female fronted metal" (what a horrible term), contemporary Scandinavian metal and some AOR thrown in for good measure.
Is it bad? Not really. It's hard to find fault with the performances on offer, even if Issa's voice gets quite nasal at times. There's even several quite catchy choruses. But there is no sense of excitement, no thrill. This album really has an unpleasant whiff of pre-packaged product about it. Like the winner of a "Metal Idol" contest… If that doesn't bother you feel free to add at least ten points to my rating.

It is hard for me to believe that I have not recorded an Awaken Radio podcast since July 2017. Where did that year go!? For some reason, I just felt I needed a break from the show. I am not sure why, but whenever I would try to get on the podcast, I felt a big wall of resistance in my body. It felt like I needed to let her go for a little while – to allow space for her to shift and evolve, and for me to wait until the rush of creative inspiration hit.
So I was excited that as we turned the corner into 2018, I felt that familiar inner stirring of energy within me. I felt an inner pull calling me back to the podcast and my mind was suddenly filled with messages that I wanted to share with you.
And so I have followed the wave of inspiration and I am back on the show today, sharing with you my key reflections, learning's, lessons and inner work practices from 2017.
2017 was truly a transformational year – one filled with profound opportunities for growth and letting go, as well as some major challenges that asked for big inner work. But equally it was full of many successes, incredible manifestations, beautiful opportunities, an abundance of connection and love, and a bundle of wonderful achievements.
Even though I was dealt my fair share of tough moments – moving house 4 times, grieving the loss of my father, birthing a new online course and having to take a lot of financial risks – I feel that everything that tested me, served as catalysts for the most profound growth.
At the end of the year, I found myself reflecting on all that had transpired and feeling deeply grateful for it all. I was able to see the blessing, opportunity, lesson and growth opportunity in everything that unfolded. I realised it was all necessary, both the good and the bad, in bringing me to where I needed to be.
In 2017, I feel like I expanded and grew into a woman I was deeply proud of. I showed up for my inner work. I dug deep into my wounds. I went into my discomfort and stepped outside my comfort zone. I committed whole-heartedly to what my heart desired. I took risks and acted with courage. I followed my intuition, even when I had no idea where I was going.
I learnt so much throughout 2017, and so I simply had to record a podcast to share it with you. This episode covers 10 of the key inner work practices, mindset shifts, lifestyle changes, and spiritual principles that I applied in my life in 2017 which totally transformed both me as a woman, and my life.
I hope you enjoy the episode, and I can't wait to bring you much more from the Awaken Radio podcast in 2018.
Why 2017 was all about laying foundations and doing the groundwork.
Powerful questions to help you review & reflect on 2017.
My top 10 lessons, learning's and practices from last year including 5 inner work principles, and 5 lifestyle changes and tools.
How ditching my victim mentality and fully stepping into my power helped me radically upgrade my life in 2017.
How I pre-paved all of my big manifestations with energy work.
The power of being courageous and taking risks, and why life rewards your courage.
Why my greatest challenges provided the greatest opportunities for growth.
How deepening my level of surrender allowed me to experience more flow, ease, acceptance and support from my inner guidance.
Why I chose to ditch my standard beauty products and make the switch to natural, eco-beauty.
How I used my journal to set intentions for the day ahead.
The healing power of living guided by the feminine cycles of the moon and our bodies.
How setting monthly financial goals amplified my abundance in 2017.
The 2 changes I made to my diet which made me feel more in tune with with my body and much more grounded.
The Turn Inwards Journaling Guide Ebook: Grab Your Copy Here.
What is your biggest takeaway from today's episode? What changes do you feel inspired to make, or new practices do you now want to take on? I would love to hear it! Share with me in the comments.
Thanks Connie, love your podcast not just reflecting on 2017 but all of them. I am also moving into a whole new phase after getting to Europe last year for my 50th but realise that all that fear is actually giving us the courage to move & grow! So i'm moving to Melbourne and starting a new journey, job and more travel! But terrified at the prospect of it but excited just like my Europe trip but the growth was amazing travelling alone and i surprised myself how strong i am, now i can do anything! Just like you say! Thanks.

Police investigate 2 separate stabbing incidents near homeless encampment in Philadelphia
<iframe width="476" height="267" src="https://6abc.com/video/embed/?pid=6280174" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Two stabbings near homeless encampments in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are investigating two separate stabbings near a homeless encampment in the city that occurred Sunday.
The latest incident happened at 25th Street and Kelly Drive in the city's Spring Garden section Sunday night.
A witness said they saw a confrontation between a driver and a man, who was pushing a shopping cart into the vehicle.
The bystander ended up helping the victim until medics arrived.
Police arrested a suspect nearby.
Officials said the victim is in stable condition at the hospital.

Earlier, around 5 p.m., a 26-year-old man was stabbed multiple times after an altercation at 22nd Street and the Parkway, police said.
The man was transported to an area hospital for unknown injuries.
The circumstances surrounding the fight remain unclear, but city officials stated earlier this week that they are concerned about the safety of the individuals at the encampment.
Organizers have told Action News that the site serves as a two-fold protest: to continue support of the Black Lives Matter movement and to bring awareness to the city's homelessness problem.
No arrests have been made in the stabbing.
Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.

N.J. voters who don't care for Booker or Lonegan may opt for 'Ed the barber'
Phil Gregory
Democrat Cory Booker and Republican Steven Lonegan aren't the only names on the ballot in Wednesday's special U.S. Senate election in New Jersey.
One of the six other candidates with taglines under their names on the ballot is "Ed the Barber."
The candidate, aka Ed Stackhouse of Hamilton, says people are tired of the two-party system and are looking for something else.
"People come in and they tell me the same thing time and time again," said Stackhouse, who has been a barber for 25 years. "They're tired of the two party system. They're tired of choosing the lesser of two evils, and they're looking for something a little different."
He characterized himself as "a regular guy."
The six candidates destined to be "also-rans" have a variety of motives for getting on the ballot, according to Peter Woolley of Fairleigh Dickinson University.
"In some cases it's anger. In some cases it's enthusiasm," he said. "In other cases, it's an unrealistic dream."
If the candidates including the ones labeled "Alimony Reform Now," "No Amnesty Period" or "Freedom of Choice" don't interest you, Monmouth University political analyst Patrick Murray said there's something else to consider.
"Mickey Mouse is still a valid option and you can write that in if you want to," Murray said.
It's not that difficult to get on the ballot.
Candidates, who must have been a U.S citizen for nine years, are required to live in New Jersey and get 800 people to sign a petition on their behalf.

Electric car drivers can now charge with an ultimate app with the best network coverage in Europe
To get over range and charging anxiety is a challenge for many technology developers, but it seems to be within reach. The growing network of charging points for electric vehicles is also tangible in the Sygic GPS Navigation, making the app No. 1 for electric and plug-in hybrid car drivers. In 2020, Sygic doubled the number of charging points in the navigation up to nearly 300,000, and new partnerships are on the horizon.
Mode for Electric Vehicles (EV mode) has been a part of the Sygic GPS Navigation since May 2020, when Sygic launched the mode worldwide and with integrated payment in 38 countries with 150,000 charging points. More than 100,000 unique users have activated the mode since then. The most active users come from Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.
The more charging stations are in the app and specific routing planner there are for EV, the higher the popularity of the app is. Up to now, Sygic is the first and only app providing all services in one: GPS navigation, route planner with integrated, still growing charging stations database, and integrated payment for charging in the app.
Smart guide for free
EV mode is free for any Sygic GPS Navigation user. It is active by switching on a slide-toggle in the app – no additional installs or registrations are needed. Drivers can choose their car model from the extensive database of electric and plug-in hybrid cars with predefined battery, average consumption, and connector type. Users can also adjust all the parameters based on their real-life experience. After adding the compatible charging point to the navigation route and checking its real-time availability, the driver only selects the payment method, charge and pays for the service.
The number of charging points has doubled and continues to increase
After Europe's largest charging network provider – Plugsurfing, in 2020, Sygic entered into several new partnerships that allowed a further extension of the charging points' network. New partners cover charging stations in Central Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Balkan countries. In Sygic GPS Navi, you can find charging points from providers such as Greenway, Polyfazer, eJoin and ChargeUp (Unicorn).
"These new partnerships are essential for coverage in local markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Together, we offer unique, hassle-free solutions for electric vehicle drivers. We are supporting the mass adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles. In addition, we plan to cooperate on a deeper integration for easier usage of all services. We want to give our users the freedom to choose their preferred provider," said Sygic's vice president for electromobility Petr Füzék.
Travel, charge and pay with one app is the future
There are currently more than 200,000 charging points with the possibility of payments, either directly in-app or via RFID in the Sygic's EV mode. The goal is to make in-app payments available at as many charging points as possible. However, the preference of the users is the highest priority. According to Sygic's survey, the share of its EV mode users preferring payment via the app is comparable to those who prefer RFID cards or doesn't matter the payment method. Paying through the navigation app is considered a great benefit. Nearly 40% of respondents regard recharging as very easy or easy; most of the respondents still need more time to get familiar with public recharging when travelling long distances.
In 2021, the network of charging points will continue growing. In the future, Sygic plans to add even more dedicated features for electric vehicles and create an all-in-one driving assistant, helping users with routing. It will consider the specifics of the EV car model, range, traffic, and other factors, making the transition from combustion engine cars even easier. This trend is also confirmed by EV Driver Survey Report 2020, where 67% of electric car drivers stated that they will hardly go to a fuel station anymore.

Israel May Use 'Financial Retaliation' against PA
Israel may freeze tax revenues for the Palestinian Authority in retaliation for its pushing the UN to investigate "settlements."

Tex revenues collected by Israel help guel PA

Israel may freeze tax revenues for the Palestinian Authority in retaliation for its pushing the United Nations Human Rights Committee to investigate Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria, according to Voice of Israel government radio.
The Netanyahu government also is considering freezing cooperation with the PA for joint business initiatives as a way to get across the message that the PA cannot have its cake and eat it at the same time by working against Israel while enjoying the taxes Israel collects for it at crossings into the Palestinian Authority.
The United Nations Security Council, which two years ago condemned Israel for alleged war crimes during the counterterrorist Operation Cast Lead campaign in Gaza, decided last week to send officials to investigate the effects of Jewish communities on human rights of Arabs in Judea and Samaria.
Israel said it will not cooperate with the delegation.
While Israel is considering restricting funds to the Palestinian Authority, the United States is freeing money that had been frozen for the Ramallah-based regime.
U.S. Congresswoman Kay Granger, chairwoman of a House Appropriations Committee panel, said she was releasing a hold on all of the $147 million in Congressionally-appropriated money for the PA.
House Foreign Affairs Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen only partially lifted her block for more than half of the funds to be sent.
Granger explained she decided to release her hold for humanitarian reasons and to help increase stability in the area controlled by the PA.
Ros-Lehtinen said she would not object to the disbursement so long as the funds were not used for assistance and recovery in Hamas-controlled Gaza, and road construction projects in the PA-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria -- except those directly related to security and projects with permits from Israel.

What's important for this group of women is empowerment and securing better livelihoods by enhancing their occupational skills.
Bangkok, August 15, 2012 – Unilever, in partnership with Oxfam, one of the world's leading development organizations, today announced the launch of a program to "enhance women's livelihoods in Yala, Narathiwat, and Pattani", in Thailand. This pilot program is focused on women affected by violence in these three southern border provinces, and aims to build their basic skills for sustainable farming and develop their business acumen, in order to create a more sustainable future for themselves and their families.
This partnership is part of the global Unilever Foundation, an initiative dedicated to improving quality of life through the provision of hygiene, sanitation, access to clean drinking water, basic nutrition and enhancing self-esteem.
Unilever aims to double the size of its business while reducing its environmental impact and delivering increased social value. Along with the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan, the Unilever Foundation is a key action taken by the Company to help meet its ambitious goal of helping more than one billion people improve their health and well-being and, in turn, create a sustainable future.
In Thailand, Unilever Foundation has joined with Oxfam, a leading international development organization working intensively to eradicate poverty and relieve hardship, to initiate a program to "enhance women's livelihoods in Yala, Narathiwat, and Pattani". The program aims to build basic occupational skills such as sustainable farming and business knowledge, together with building a network for the women in Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat in order to enhance their well-being and capacity to shape a more sustainable future.
In his opening address Mr. Bauke Rouwers, Chairman of the Unilever Thai Group of Companies, described this program as a joint effort to share resources and capacities between a business organization and a private development organization, to resolve social issues and be a starting point to promote sustainable living; which will lead to solutions of poverty challenges and women's inequality in the three deep-south provinces, where many women are directly affected by the existing conflict situation.
"What's important for this group of women is empowerment and securing better livelihoods by enhancing their occupational skills, which will make them capable of supporting themselves and their families in the future as the main income earner," Mr. Rouwers said.
Ms. Sarah Ireland, Regional Director of Oxfam GB in Asia, added that both Buddhist and Muslim women in the three southern border provinces are facing a problem, which is in need of urgent advocacy, because of the violent situation that has caused the loss of the heads of families, husbands and sons who were the major income earners for their families. These women have to step up and take over the burden of supporting their families instead of the men.
"Our experience of working with people in poverty from around the world and previous studies found that women are key variables in supporting development work and sustaining its effect because women are the ones taking care of families and managing their budgets. Therefore, helping women to have their own occupations, and to be aware of and enhance their capacities will help in resolving their problems and promote sustainable living," said Ms. Ireland.
Establishment of women's network for marketing support.
The main goal of these activities is to enhance the livelihoods of 500 women from 60 communities affected directly by the conflict and build a network to promote female leadership roles by 2013, together with an expectation to expand the program to neighbouring communities.
The Unilever Foundation also works in partnership with other private development organizations such as PSI, UNICEF, Save the Children, and the World Food Program with similar goals.
In his closing remarks Mr. Bauke Rouwers, stressed that this program is one of many designed to contribute to the sustainable development of Thailand. The other initiatives are business driven and aimed at achieving Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan's goals, of helping one billion people around the world to improve their health and enhance their livelihoods, halving the environmental footprint of our product and sourcing all agricultural inputs sustainably, by 2020.
As part of these initiatives Unilever Thailand aims to encourage more sustainable farming, enhance the health and nutrition of the Thai people, and contribute towards improving the overall environment in the country by reducing greenhouses gases, saving precious water resources and an overall reduction in waste by increased recycling.
Unilever is one of the world's leading suppliers of fast moving consumer goods with strong operations in over 100 countries. Consumers buy 170 billion Unilever packs around the world every year. Our products are sold in more than 190 countries with 2 billion consumers worldwide using a Unilever product on any given day.
Our portfolio includes some of the world's best known and most loved brands including twelve €1 billion brands, and global leadership in most categories in which we operate.

Unilever Thailand employs around 2,700 people and generated annual sales of over Baht 40,000 million in 2011. For more information about Unilever and its brands, please visit www.unilever.co.th.


Is Visual Impact Cardio Really The Ultimate Fat Loss Cardio?
Hey, Kevin here. Let me start out by letting you know up-front that this is not the actual Visual Impact Cardio workout website. You can visit the official website by clicking here.
Instead, this is just my personal website that talks about Rusty Moore's program and hopefully gives you a little insight into it.
At the time I was a little soft, a little overweight. Not a lot overweight, but enough. I figured I could use dropping a few pounds of fat so I decided to take the program and run with it … to be the first guinea pig and to put this thing to the test.
Honestly, I figured I would see some good results as long as I stuck to it. So, I promised myself that I wouldn't quite for 8 straight weeks.
As the weeks went on I was AMAZED at the results I was seeing. I really was. I mean, I knew I'd lose fat but I didn't realize how fast it would actually go.
I went from soft to pretty dang ripped in only 8 weeks.
Even in just 4 weeks the results were really noticeable.
Now, of course, I ate good and put in the time. This was by no means a "magical" transformation.
These before and after pics took me a lot of work but in the end it was well worth it!
Also, since I was following Rusty's cardio workout I decided to follow his weight lifting workout, Visual Impact Muscle Building.
Now, let me tell you what I didn't like about the program.
#1 – It is really scientific and deep … as in kinda' hard to understand at first.
I mentioned this to Rusty while I was working on the designs and he told me that it was for those who wanted to see the proof and scientific reasoning behind the routines.
#2 – The diet info is limited.
Although this isn't technically a "diet book" it would be nice if there was more information about dieting.
What I do like is that the PDF outlines good strategies for diets, but it doesn't provide you with exact macros that you should follow. My personal opinion is that you should try to eat low carb, high protein and moderate fat on most days with an all out cheat day once a week.
Overall, I really do like it though. I mean, how can I not like it after getting the results I got!
Below is a little more about the cardio program with a focus on the positives, but honestly, Rusty explains it well on his website too. You can click here to read more about it on the official Visual Impact website or you can always continue reading my $0.02.
Basically, the workout is ALL about burning fat. In the 99 page manual, Moore debunks some of the myths around burning fat and losing weight. As the slogan, "Mastering the SKILL of Losing Body Fat" eludes to, after studying this manual you should be able to burn body fat … well, at least you'll know how.
But isn't cardio dead? Hardly. Cardio used to work, does work and will always work. The key is knowing how to setup a cardio workout and how to structure it for consistent and predictable fat loss. Visual Impact Cardio shows you just how to do that.
In the video on Rusty's site he talks more about this and his view and approach towards fat loss.
Click here to visit the official Visual Impact Cardio website.
Rusty starts out the program with a bang. Immediately, he admits that his previous cardio course, Treadmill Ninja Master, was not a game changer. Although it did help many people to get very lean, it just didn't deliver the same type of research, knowledge and results as Visual Impact Cardio. According to Moore and many others who have now gotten their hands on the course, Visual Impact Cardio is a game changer. You saw how fast I was able to get the results I got.
Moore's honesty and genuineness really comes across (as usual) in his latest manual. One of the favorite statements found there really hits home to many.
The most important of these four is the total amount fat lost that occurs from the cardio workout itself. However, when all four of these areas are constructed in such a way, fat loss plateaus are minimized and weight loss is becomes consistent.
Which is the best? The truth is that all of these forms of cardio are good. What is not obvious though, is how each one of these can drastically be improved upon when your main focus is fat loss. In order to burn fat directly, Visual Impact Cardio outlines the most efficient and effective approaches to optimize fat loss. Whether your favorite exercise is Zumba or Tabata training, you will will learn how to improve the fat burning portion of the workout.
Click here to visit Rusty Moore's official Visual Impact Cardio website to learn more.
Other sources: For more information and quality reviews and summaries of Rusty Moore's course, checkout the Visual Impact Cardio Review on this site , the Visual Impact Cardio Review by Kevin or the Review on Fitness B&W.
Results may vary: Throughout this page there has been a bit of hype and excitement directed towards Visual Impact Cardio. In ALL honesty though, the results that you do or do not get depend greatly on how consistent you are as well as how hard you work. While the program and studies found in this course do teach you tested methods of fat loss, none of it works if you don't apply it. Also, everyone's results will be unique to their circumstances. Some will lose more than others. Some will have to work harder than others for the same results. In the end, this is a quality fat burning and cardio course, but simply buying it does not result in weight loss … it's the using it that does.

Sidewalks of Worship, Too
Editor's note: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decided to exclude religious leaders from the official ceremony commemorating the victims of Sept. 11, 2001. In this feature published on September 14, 2001, Melanie Kirkpatrick, then a Journal editor, explained the role of faith as New Yorkers responded to the terrorist attacks.
"May God have mercy on their souls."
I heard these words Tuesday morning, a few minutes past 9, uttered by the woman standing next to me in a street three blocks north of the World Trade Center. I had just emerged from the subway station, and we were together in the sea of people gazing up at the fireballs spewing from upper reaches of the Twin Towers. She spoke in full throat, as if she wanted to make sure that God could hear.
That was the first of many prayers I heard that day. As I walked north, joining the thousands of people moving uptown, I passed countless people with heads bowed and lips moving. It was a common sight: Men and women, standing in the bright sun, often with a briefcase or shopping bag in hand, would look up at the flaming towers and then close their eyes and bow their heads in prayer. At times the quiet, orderly exodus seemed more like a prayer vigil. New Yorkers may have a reputation as talkers, but on that day words often failed us.
About 11, I passed a portly, middle-aged man. He looked up at where the towers had stood and made the sign of the cross. He was rushing downtown as fast as his legs would carry him, wending his way briskly through the crowd heading in the opposite direction. He might have been a priest–he was dressed all in black–hurrying determinedly into danger. Indeed, at least one priest is already known to be among the dead. Father Mychal Judge, the longtime chaplain of the New York Fire Department, was among the first rescuers on the scene. He died alongside many of his colleagues.
Other clergymen and women rushed to hospitals. The cardinal of New York gave the last rites to victims at St. Vincent's Hospital. My colleague Susan Lee, who has written in this space, is also a student at Union Theological Seminary; she volunteered her services as pastoral counselor.
I had many blocks to walk that morning before I reached my apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. As I walked, I began to notice the open doors of the houses of worship I passed. A few had hand-lettered signs saying they were open for prayer. I later learned that this was happening not just in New York. Churches and temples and mosques all over the nation were open for prayer that day. The 23rd Psalm–"The Lord Is My Shepherd"–was on the lips of many, including President Bush when he addressed the nation that night. For many of us, King David's resolve, "I fear no evil," never held so much meaning.
To those who don't know this city, New York may often seem a modern Sodom and Gomorrah. But to those of us who do, it is a shining City on a Hill, a city of magnificent churches, synagogues, and, increasingly, mosques and shrines and temples. In the shadow of the World Trade Center lay most of New York's oldest houses of worship.
Trinity Church, on Broadway at the head of Wall Street, was erected in 1846; for 50 years, long before the World Trade Center, it reigned as the tallest building in the city. An earlier home for the church was destroyed in the great fire of 1776. North of the World Trade Center is John Street Methodist Church, home of what may be the oldest Methodist congregation in the country. To the west is the World Financial Center and a small Roman Catholic chapel on the marina. Just across from the south tower, until Tuesday morning, stood St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, a tiny, unimposing structure surrounded by a parking lot six times its size–and now, to judge by photographs and TV images, eerily absent.
Church Street borders the east side of what used to be the World Trade Center and takes its name from St. Paul's Chapel, Manhattan's oldest church. When I visited there a few years ago, I learned that every American president had worshipped at St. Paul's since it was built in 1766. President Bush may not have had had a chance to worship there yet. But when he does, like the New Yorkers with whom I was walking uptown on Tuesday, he will have a chance to say a prayer for those who died at the beautiful towers that once soared across the street.


Self Description: I am always full of inner energy and I know how to rule and how to achieve my goals with the help of it. I am very active and do not like to sit on the same place, I have to be busy with something. I am a straight person and always tell what I think. I am very emotional and romantic and I completely devote myself to someone I love.
Comments: I am looking for a man who knows what he wants, who is experienced and goal-oriented, who knows life and who is not afraid of life difficulties. He should be someone who would be able to give me a feeling of stability in relations and who would be my best friend and a beloved man at the same time. It is important for me if he is responsible and if he is a person, who knows how to make right decisions.

Bad Teacher is Better Than I Thought It Would Be

Bad Teacher: Thursdays at 9:30 on CBS
Last week, when discussing FX's new take on Fargo, I brought up the fact that movie rehashes seem to be in vogue this year. However, what makes this year's version seem considerably more different is that CBS, which tends to be more likely to stick to it's own way of multi-cam comedies and procedurals seems considerably more game to jump in on these trends as it's rating slowly descend back to earth. September's Hostages was part of a cluster of hostage crises, January's Intelligence was similar to ABC's the assets, and tonight's Bad Teacher is part of a string of movie adaptations we can expect to see over the next few months.
This version of Bad Teacher comes with a very fairly similar (if slightly more open ended) path of the original movie. Trophy wife Meredith Davis (Ari Graynor ) is kicked to the curb by her wealthy husband, and is forced to work as a middle school teacher while looking for a new sugar daddy. In this new world, she encounters a number of faculty members, including a stodgy faculty president (Kristin Davis )and a gym teacher from her past (Ryan Hansen) who show some skepticism about this new faculty member.
Typically, I find that CBS comedies tend to feel pretty monotonous in terms of their pacing, their jokes, and their styles. Instead, we get an interesting mix that combines zippy punchlines with a touch of surrealism and some great moments where Meredith goes on rants with much delusions of grandeur. For me the mixture was fairly reminiscent of a show like Sex and the City, with a bubbly tone that also carried a decent mix of snark to accompany it.
A large part of the credit goes to the amazing veteran cast the producers managed to assemble. Ari Graynor is a revelation as Davis, owning her character from minute one. Backing up Graynor are some formidable comedy veterans such as Kristin Davis (Sex and the City), Sara Gilbert (Roseanne), and David Alan Grier (In Living Color). We even get some extra support from Richard Kind, playing a close friend of Meredith's who lets her crash in their guest house.
If there is one knock on the pilot, it's in the storytelling. While I appreciate the fact that Bad Teacher did not draw out it's origin story too long – it's wrapped up before the credits begin – it also seemed to shoehorn in sitcom conventions a touch awkwardly. This was particularly notable when the show went to the "heart" moment in the third act, as it created the sort of emotional whiplash when one considers that a real bond was not well formed in the initial two acts.
The Final Verdict: While I was initially skeptical, I'll be the first to admit that Bad Teacher is the most I've laughed at a CBS show aside from How I Met Your Mother. It's a fast, fun, series that doesn't try to occupy too much mind space (perfect for both the CBS lineup and 9:30 on a Thursday). Check it out, you won't be disappointed with it.

The best Java developers started in C++ or assembly
Article from eFinancial News 16/12/2020 by Sarah Butcher
If you want to write the kind of code that's used in the kinds of trading algorithms that are integral to market-making in today's financial system, it's quite possible that you're going about it all wrong. Especially if you're starting out by learning how to code in Java.
Peter Lawrey, CEO of Chronicle Software, which provides low latency trading systems to banks and hedge funds, says Java expertise can be a hindrance rather than a help if you want to write low latency code.
"You can have 10 years of Java coding experience and not really understand what you're doing," says Lawrey. "There are Java developers who've been coding for 10-15 years and who have no idea how big an integer is, who don't really understand how data is laid out, or how to turn an object into raw data so that it can be turned back into an object. People have only ever used libraries."
Programmers who spend their entire careers in Java often develop a false sense of their own ability, suggests Lawrey. – They know how to do everything in Java, but this is simply because there aren't many things to know in Java. "There's a philosophical difference between the two languages," says Lawrey. "C++ is kitchen sink approach – it has loads and loads of features and options for doing the same thing and if you know what you're doing, you pick the right one. Java only has one or two, or maybe three ways of doing the same thing. It's feature poor, but because it's feature poor then developers feel they have mastered all the features of Java fairly quickly. With C++ it can be really difficult to feel you have mastered all the alternatives."
At Chronicle, Lawrey codes 'low latency Java' which he describes as Java with only fast and efficient constructs and all the "garbage" stripped out. Instead of learning to code in Java, Lawrey says he spent his first two years learning how to code in an assembly language which translated directly into the machine code that creates the binary instructions moving values in and out of the registers in a CPU.
"It's learning the hard way," says Lawrey. Even if you start learning how to code in C++, he says you'll be forced to learn how everything works down to a very low level of detail. – But if you start in Java, you'll usually simply learn a few abstractions that will deliver quick results.
This is fine if you want to use Java to code websites, but if you want to code low latency Java for trading algorithms, Lawrey says it helps to know C++ inside out first.
This begs the question of why you'd bother switching to Java in the first place. Lawrey says the best low latency Java programmers are those who are glad they're not still coding in C++. "They need to have a background where they've been forced to understand everything, but to be thankful that Java is there instead."

While most people think their work is repetitive and routine, I find my job to be constantly challenging. One of the duties as a case manager is to generate feasible proposals for clients, which gives me the opportunity to acquire knowledge in various fields, thanks to the diverse backgrounds of every case. I find this role to be satisfying, especially when we successfully unmask alert subjects. This is also the reason and motivation that drives me to work in this industry for over 15 years. Fraud is prevalent in our society. While police can combat crime, Verity can facilitate our society by preventing fraudulent cases.
"Insurance companies pay out millions of dollars in insurance claims each year with many being undetected frauds. I believe with thorough investigation of suspected fraudulent or exaggerated insurance claims put in place, we can greatly reduce high cost for insurance companies.

Art Leatherwood General Entry
The American antelope that appear in Texas (Antilocapra americana and A. mexicana) are only two of the five subspecies of the pronghorn antelope that occur in North America. A mature buck of the Texas pronghorn stands about three feet tall at the shoulder and rarely exceeds 110 pounds. Adult females average about eighty-four pounds. The animals are generally tan. The bucks have a black patch at the corner of the jaw. All pronghorns have a white rump patch that is highly visible from a substantial distance. Both sexes have horns that they shed annually. They are the only hollow-horned ruminant in North America that sheds its horns every year. Before the European settlement of West Texas, antelope ranged over all of Texas west of the ninety-seventh meridian. At the beginning of the twentieth century they occurred as far north as the Wichita Falls area and as far east as Alice. They shared the same range as the buffalo, and numbers were estimated in the millions in the Trans-Pecos and Panhandle. Later, hunted for food and starved as the result of cattle overgrazing, populations were in danger of extinction. The first comprehensive survey of pronghorns, made in 1924, showed a population of only 2,407, with 692 occurring in the Trans-Pecos. At that time the hunting season was closed. The population subsequently improved, and controlled hunting was established in 1944. From 1977 to 1991, under managed conditions, the population averaged 18,500, 70 percent in the Trans-Pecos, 20 percent in the Panhandle, and 10 percent in the Lower Plains. With the dissemination of research findings regarding life history, range use, ecology, behavior, restocking, and proper harvest, the Texas pronghorn is thriving.

A pretty quiet week, this time around, with just two films watched. This was down to two factors: firstly, I spent the weekend away in Suffolk, braving the subzero temperatures. Secondly, I've been watching a lot of Six Feet Under recently. I never saw the show when it was originally on TV, but I got the complete box set for Christmas, and have been working my way through it. I found it a little slow going at first, but it's really grown on me. Michael C Hall is a very fine actor indeed.
This classic Ealing comedy is set during the Second World War, on the remote Scottish island of Todday. Here, the islanders are putting up with two wartime annoyances: Captain Paul Waggett, a petty and officious English captain in charge of the local brigade of the Home Guard, and the rationing of food and drink which has left them dangerously low on whisky. The islanders' prayers are answered when an ocean liner runs aground off one of the island's beaches, leaving behind a large shipment of sweet, sweet whisky. While Waggett attempts to ensure that the whisky is returned to the proper authorities, the rest of the Todday's inhabitants do their utmost to hide their recent gains. As with Passport to Pimlico, this movie is now a little dated, with the plotline reflecting the concerns of the British people, still forced to put up with rationing in the postwar period. Despite this, I found the movie to be charming and often rather funny, with particularly engaging performances from the likeable Bruce Seton (as an English sergeant stationed on the island) and the beautiful Joan Greenwood (as the postmaster's brassy daughter).
Sam Raimi's hilarious follow up to the (also excellent) Evil Dead sees our much put upon hero Ash (Bruce Campbell) battling zombies in the woods all over again. Raimi doesn't try to reinvent the wheel here - the plot is very similar to that of the first movie, with Ash spending another night in the same accursed cabin, with horrible creatures attacking him and his friends left, right and centre. However, the increase in budget for this picture means that Raimi is able to be even more inventive with the gory special effects. Thus, we see such astonishing sights as Ash being attacked by his own hand, set upon by a hideous witch and a possessed redneck, and, at the end of the movie, being sent through time to battle the undead in the Middle Ages (which sets the stage for the concluding part of the series, Army of Darkness). Bruce Campbell, in the lead role, does a tremendous job in taking all the punishment poor old Ash has to suffer, and he's a dab hand at dishing up a cheesy one liner with a knowing wink to the audience. I may have to revisit Army of Darkness before I can definitively say this, but for me, this is the best part of the trilogy, one of those rare horror films which manages to be both funny and scary at the same time.


Once again I find myself almost at a loss for words after a night at the theatre… well almost. It pains me to be so negative when a team of performers, filled with energy and brimming with talent, are thrown onto the stage in a vehicle as flimsy as this. The kids can sing, they can dance and they can… well I'd like to say that they can deliver a laugh but the writer of this lame confection has given them scant material to raise even a smile. The plot, such as it is, is shamelessly lifted from the TV hit Benidorm, the level of humour is childish toilet level at best and the characters are so thinly drawn that there is no element of surprise, no comic twist or turn.
The set too is pretty feeble and the lighting barely suffices with scenes so poorly lit that it was hard to see which members of the cast were singing. No follow spot? Economy?
On the good side the cast can sing and they certainly can dance and the choreography is fast and furious and raises the entertainment level. So too does Kate Robbins who as Consuela, a character lifted from Victoria Wood but with a Spanish rather than a brummy accent, delivers the only real laughs of the evening. Using her impersonating skills and big voice she did manage to lift my spirits a peg or two. Joe McElderry is pretty good, but the director has, for reasons best known to himself, decided that the best way to depict a gay man is to pitch him as a geordie John Inman clone. I could get all political about this, but I think in 2019 there is little or no excuse, even if the show is set in the 1980s.
The final redeeming feature is of course a vast array of pop hits that some of us will treasure as the soundtrack to our early years, well delivered and yes, pretty well tagged to the feeble plot.
All this said the audience seemed to enjoy things more than I did, whipped up by the solid gold sounds of the eighties I suspect rather than the play itself.

Optimizations for compiling Jade in a gulp task
===============================================

_Using Jade inheritance and construct cache for all the dependencies._

For this task we will use these different packages and global variables
```js
var
  fs = require('fs'),
  path = require('path'),
  JadeInheritance = require('jade-inheritance'),
  gulp = require('gulp'),
  jade = require('gulp-jade'),
  plumber = require('gulp-plumber'),
  watch = require("gulp-watch"),
  chalk = require("chalk"),
  args = require('yargs').argv,

  sources = 'source/', // the folder where all your templates are
  dependenciesSave = 'jadeDependencies.json', // the file where we will save the dependencies of each template of the app
  dependantFiles = '',
  isProduction = args.type === 'production';
```

And a function to debounce the `onChange` event
```js
var debounce = function(func, threshold, execAsap) {
  var timeout;
  timeout = null;
  return function() {
    var args, delayed, obj;
    args = 1 <= arguments.length ? __slice.call(arguments, 0) : [];
    obj = this;
    delayed = function() {
      if (!execAsap) {
        func.apply(obj, args);
      }
      return timeout = null;
    };
    if (timeout) {
      clearTimeout(timeout);
    } else if (execAsap) {
      func.apply(obj, args);
    }
    return timeout = setTimeout(delayed, threshold || 100);
  };
};
```

First you need to construct a task to watch your jade files
```js
// watch the jade files for any change
gulp.task('watchJade', function () {
  var jadeW,
      filtering,
      onChangeJade,
      changedFiles = [];

  jadeW = gulp.watch([sources + '**/*.jade'],{ maxListeners: 999 });
  jadeW.on('change', function(event) {
    if (event.type === 'changed') {
      changedFiles.push(event.path);
      onChangeJade();
    }
  });

  // ...

});
```

Create a function to filter only the *views*. Because you don't want to compile the other template that are only parts or layout used in other views.
```js
// ...

filtering = function (element, index) {
  var regex = new RegExp('^source/jade/(?:pages/.*)?[^/]*\.jade$', 'i');
  if (typeof element === 'string') {
    return regex.test(element);
  }
  return false
};
```

Then you need to go throw the inheritance array of your modified files and compile only the files needed.
If you are in development mode you will only compile the first *view* to check and debug. For production, you will compile all the *views* inherited.

```js
// ...

onChangeJade = debounce(function () {
  console.log(chalk.green.bold('jade watch on change: start...'));
  console.time(chalk.green.bold('jade watch on change'));
  fs.exists(dependenciesSave, function (exists) {
    if (!exists) {
      // create the file if not exist
      fs.writeFile(dependenciesSave, '{}', function (err) {
          if (err) throw err;
       });
    }

    fs.readFile(dependenciesSave, function (err, data) {
      if (err) throw err;
      var dependantFilesTemp = '';
      var dependantFilesCache = JSON.parse(data) || {};
      // console.time('jade-inheritance total');

      changedFiles.forEach(function (filepath) {
        var basedir = process.cwd(),
            filename = path.relative(basedir, filepath),
            inheritance,
            jsonString;

        if (typeof dependantFilesCache[filename] === 'undefined') {
          inheritance = new JadeInheritance(filename, '.', {basedir: '.'});

          dependantFilesTemp = inheritance.files.filter(filtering);
          dependantFilesCache[filename] = dependantFilesTemp;
          jsonString = JSON.stringify(dependantFilesCache);
          fs.writeFile(dependenciesSave, jsonString, function (err) {
            if (err) throw err;
            console.log(chalk.blue('The Jade dependencies for the file \''+chalk.bold(filename)+'\' is saved in '+chalk.bold(dependenciesSave)+' !'));
          });

        }
        else {
          console.log(chalk.blue('dependencies from cache '+ chalk.bold(dependenciesSave)));
        }

        dependantFilesTemp = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(dependantFilesCache[filename]));

        if (!isProduction) {
          // reduce the compiled files to only one page for debugging
          dependantFiles = dependantFilesTemp.shift();
        }

        console.log(chalk.yellow('Let\' check this file to test and debug : ') + chalk.bgYellow.black(dependantFiles));
      });

      // console.timeEnd('jade-inheritance total');

      gulp.start('JadeDependant');

      changedFiles = [];
      console.timeEnd(chalk.green.bold('jade watch on change'));
    });
  });
}, 500);
```

Finally we need to create an another task to compile the jade files
```js
// compile only the dependant templates (used with the task 'watchJade')
gulp.task('JadeDependant', function () {
  if (dependantFiles != ''){ // dependantFiles is a global variable
    gulp.src(dependantFiles)
      .pipe(plumber())
      .pipe(jade({pretty: true, compileDebug:true}))
      .pipe(gulp.dest(sitePath));
  }
});
```

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband and love of her life, Charles Mark Arnold and her beloved niece, Sarah Talbot Wilson. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Music Therapy, and worked for the state of Florida for more than 31 years in the developmental disabilities field. She was employed as Deputy Director of Programs for the Agency for Persons with Disabilities, where she directly assisted tens of thousand of individuals, always mindful of including self-advocates in everything the agency did. Her passion was contagious and unwavering for people with developmental disabilities. Co-workers described her as, "the heart and soul of the Agency." Denise had an amazing sense of humor and the incredible ability to see the good in everyone she met. Her friends and family remember her fearless way of loving everyone uniquely. Through the many challenges in her life she always chose joy and to live by her late husband's mantra, "Life is Good." Her love was the purest love. A divine love. Words can't begin to describe how deeply she will be missed. She filled her life with music and singing, hiking, kayaking, gardening, reading, loving animals, and traveling. The absolute light of her life were her children and grandchildren. She is survived by her children, Christine Arnold (fiancé, Jeff Azcona), Lauren Smith (Dylan), David Arnold (Francesca), Mark Arnold, and Belinda Arnold (Mark MacDonald); grandchildren, Ashley Arnold, Caterina Arnold, Stella MacDonald, Jolie MacDonald, Maeve MacDonald, Nora Smith and Mark Smith; and her siblings, Maureen Miller (C.A), Bette Talbot (Collie Rouyer), Bob Talbot (Diane Hartsfield), Suzy Wilson (Bill) and Tina Talbot (Andy Beers). Also surviving are beloved nieces, nephews and countless friends. The family will receive friends from 6:00 until 8:00 PM, Thursday, July 5, 2018, at Abbey Funeral Home. The funeral is 2:00 PM, Friday, July 6, 2018, at Good Shepherd Catholic Church. A private family interment will be at Tallahassee Memory Gardens.
