Danny and the Deep Blue Sea at Theatre N16
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea at Theatre N16 | Theatre review
Chloe Sizer
Theatre N16 really is the stage in Theatrum Veritatus' adaptation of John Patrick Shanley's 1984 play Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. Set in 1980s America, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea is a slow burner, depicting the highly dysfunctional, punch-love relationship between Danny (Gareth O'Connor) and Roberta (Megan Lloyd-Jones), who find love at first sight inside a dingy bar, over a bowl of pulverised pretzels.
Courtney Larkin (director) uses the location to her advantage, with the dark and fashionably shabby surroundings of Theatre N16's stage enhancing the bleak undertones of the play's narrative. Even the outdoor traffic and rattling trains are in no way distracting, and instead play their own unconscious part in creating a realistic and convincing imagining of the grubby side of New York.
Although the narrative is at times slow and disengaging, the viewer's attention is soon reeled back in through the power of the performances. O'Connor and Lloyd-Jones' chemistry on stage is mesmerising, as they guide the audience through Danny and Roberta's whirlwind romance. O'Connor, in particular, executes the alienated character of Danny "The Beast" with both finesse and poignancy. The couple's despondency and desperation to find meaning in their lives really strike a chord, highlighting the contrasting moments in which the pair seek redemption through loving each other.
As a whole, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea does not have a strong plot. Instead, it acts more as a character study of two people teaching each other how to love, not only one another, but also themselves. It also touches lightly on societal attitudes towards mental health in both the 80s and in contemporary society, showing that people struggling with internal issues go largely ignored, lost in both the system and their own minds. This is the sort of theatre that gets taken home with its audience. Theatrum Veritatus is certainly one to watch in the industry.

Q: Google Speech to Text Locale creation for language other than English I want to integrate Urdu Language in my android application using Google Speech to Text. Urdu language is supported according to google for speech to text. Can you guide me as to how I can create this:
class AimyboxApplication : Application(), AimyboxProvider {

companion object {
    private const val AIMYBOX_API_KEY = "Ldf0j7WZi3KwNah2aNeXVIACz0lb9qMH"
}

override val aimybox by lazy { createAimybox(this) }

private fun createAimybox(context: Context): Aimybox {
    val unitId = UUID.randomUUID().toString()

    val textToSpeech = GooglePlatformTextToSpeech(context, Locale.ENGLISH)
    val speechToText = GooglePlatformSpeechToText(context, Locale.ENGLISH)

    val dialogApi = AimyboxDialogApi(AIMYBOX_API_KEY, unitId)

    return Aimybox(Config.create(speechToText, textToSpeech, dialogApi))
}

}
It has Locale.English I want it for Urdu as shown on google here:

As you can see Urdu Pakistan is present on googles website.

A: You are using the android speechkit library (GooglePlatform), not the Google Cloud speechkit. I think the first one supports only English, but you can use the second one, and configure your API default language from Google Cloud Console (for that, you will need an active billing account), and then integrate it with aimubox.

Performing the Factor rotation is the next step after identifyng the number of factors to be extracted. The objective of factor rotation is to facilitate a clear understanding and interpretation of the data (Walker and Maddan, 2012). The reference axes (coordinate plane) of the original factor solution are rotated in this process to simplify the factor structure (i.e., placing all of the factors in the same quadrant) (e.g., Figure 5.8). This makes the geometric location of the factors more meaningful and creates an interpretable solution simply by creating the rotated Pattern Matrix from the original Factor Matrix.
There are two basis approaches in SPSS to rotate the factors. They are known as orthogonal (uncorrelated) and oblique (correlated) approaches (Abdi, 2004; Field, 2005; Walker and Maddan, 2012). Orthogonal rotation (Kaiser, 1958) (i.e., varimax, quartermax and equamax) is used for the conditions where the reference axes are uncorrelated and the angle between the reference axes of factors are maintained at 90 degrees (ucla: Statistical Consulting Group., 2007; Walker and Maddan, 2012). Oblique rotation (Carroll, 1953) (i.e., direct oblimin and promax) is applied where the axes are correlated and the angle between the reference axes are not at right angles (Field, 2005; Pallant, 2007; Walker and Maddan, 2012). Either of the approaches often result in very similar results, particularly when the pattern of correlations amongst the items is clear (Tabachnick and Fidell, 2007). Nevertheless, the orthogonal rotations should be applied if the factors are uncorrelated, and oblique rotations for the cases where the factors are correlated (ucla: Statistical Consulting Group., 2007).
The last step is 'Use of Factors', in which the results of factor analysis can be used in other analyses, for example, structural equations modelling (Walker and Maddan, 2012).
Structural equation modelling, commonly known as SEM, is a second-generation multivariate statistical analytical tool (Suhr, 2012) which is used to identify and depict relationships among variables (Kline, 2005). It can be defined as "a hypothesis of a specific pattern of relations among a set of measured variables and latent variables" (Shah and Goldstein, 2006, p166).
There are two types of variables included in SEM (McDonald and Ho, 2002): observed variables and latent variables (Bentler and Weeks, 1980; Kline, 2005). The observed (measured) variables are ones which can be directly observed or measured (Streiner, 2006). The latent variables are ones which are not directly observable; SEM additionally depicts the measurement error concerned with each observed variable (Byrne, 2010). Latent variables are inferred constructs based on the observed variables. Hence, SEM makes use of correlation coefficients and regression analysis to establish causal relationships among observed/latent variables (Ullman, 2007). It uses causal arrows to denote the causes and effects between exogenous (independent or source) variables and endogenous (dependent or downstream) variables based upon some underlying theory (Loehlin, 2004; Byrne, 2010).
(3) Path Models (Figure 5.11) to structure complex causal relationship amongst observed/latent variables as well as between latent variables (Wright, 1918; Wright, 1921; Wright, 1934; Wright, 1960).

My goodness, this book is amazing. I love the way King writes his characters and stories, and this is no exception. The Overlook is so amazing yet creepy and Jack is such an amazing character.
On Jul 13 2014, CloggieDownunder said:
The Shining is the fourth novel by popular American author, Stephen King. Unemployed professor of literature and recovering alcoholic, Jack Torrance takes a job as winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel in the mountains of Colorado. His wife, Wendy is hopeful he can conquer his demons during their half year in the mountains and get on with his writing. His five year old son, Daniel, is plagued by pre-cognitive visions that seem to be facilitated by his imaginary friend, Tony; they are often pleasant but sometimes uncomfortable and occasionally downright terrifying. When the family arrives at the Overlook, the cook, Dick Hallorann takes Daniel aside and tells him he "shines", and gives him some welcome reassurance and advice. The Overlook hotel has links to underworld characters and has been the scene of murders, suicides and gangland-style executions. Danny senses in the Overlook a certain malevolence, a certain power, and feels the presence of past victims. After some months of almost idyllic existence, the hotel and the Torrance family are cut off from the town of Sidewinder by heavy snowfalls and impassable roads. And then the hotel begins to exert its influence on Jack and his family. Or is it just an alcoholic succumbing to cabin fever? King expertly portrays alcoholism and the descent into psychosis, and gives the reader characters of some complexity who find themselves rushing headlong into a heart-stopping climax. With Danny's narration, King uses wordplay to highlight the ambiguity of spoken English. Readers who have seen the 1980 Kubrick movie (which departs markedly from the book and disappointed King) will picture Jack Nicholson as Torrance (despite his lack of blonde hair). King once again proves he is a master story-teller, as readers who make the effort to reread this as a prequel to Doctor Sleep will discover afresh. A bestseller that is a brilliant read.

The gold prospector known as Felix Pedro was born Felice Pedroni on this day in 1858 in the village of Trignano, near the small Apennine town of Fanano in Emilia-Romagna.
In July 1902, on or around the 22nd, Pedroni discovered gold in the Tanana Hills northeast of the fledgling town of Fairbanks, Alaska in a small, then unnamed stream (later to be called Pedro Creek).
Some claim that Pedroni was the prospector who, on his return to Fairbanks from his prospecting mission, uttered the famous words "There's gold in them there hills", although there are other accounts of where the phrase originated.
What does not seem to be disputed is that Pedroni's discovery triggered what became known as the Fairbanks Gold Rush as more than 1,000 other gold diggers flooded the area.
Brought up in a family of subsistence farmers in Trignano, Pedroni was the youngest of six brothers. He left Italy in 1881 after the death of his father. He moved first to France, then took the bold decision to board a steamship to America.
After disembarking in New York City, where he was registered as Felix Pedro, he found work as a labourer but, having heard about the gold in Alaska and was determined to get there. As soon as he had saved enough money, Pedroni moved on, first to Ohio, then Washington State, British Columbia and Yukon, each time taking a job and biding his time until he could afford to move on. He became an American citizen in 1888.
Once in Alaska, Pedroni panned for gold in the Fortymile, the Piledriver Slough and various other waterways, including the 'Lost Creek' in which Pedroni and his partner, Tom Gilmore, claimed to have found a sizable amount of gold in 1898, but were forced to abandon due to lack of food.
Despite marking the spot and searching for it for the next three years, they were unable to find it again.
It was while trying to locate the creek that they were drawn to the camp that would become Fairbanks after seeing plumes of smoke from a steamboat. They dropped down from the hills above the settlement, stocked up with supplies and returned to their search.
This time they did find gold, in the Tanana Hills, northeast of Fairbanks.
Pedroni died in July, 1910 at age 52 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Fairbanks - which by then had grown rapidly to be the largest city in Alaska - reportedly of a heart attack.
This was later disputed by business partner Vincenzo Gambiani, who suspected Pedroni's Irish wife, Mary Ellen Doran, of poisoning him.
Pedroni had intended to marry an Italian girl and, in fact, returned to Italy in 1906 a wealthy man, in search of a bride. He thought he had found one in Egle Zanetti, a young teacher from Lizzano in Belvedere with whom he fell in love. She turned down his proposal, however, and returned to Alaska, heartbroken.
By contrast, Mary Doran was said to be a saloon girl of loose morals. Gambiani believed she killed Pedroni so that she might inherit his fortune.
Pedroni's body was initially shipped to Colma, near San Francisco, to be buried, which is where it remained until October, 1972, when it was found, exhumed, and moved to Italy to be re-interred in Fanano. First, however, some hair samples were tested, the results of which reportedly supported the theory that Pedroni had been murdered.
Today, Pedroni is remembered in Alaska as one of the founding fathers of Fairbanks. In 1947, the Felice Pedroni Monument was erected on the Steese Highway north of Fairbanks, near what is still known as Pedro Creek. The annual Fairbanks Golden Days celebration always begins with a rededication of the monument.
Fanano is a town of some 2,500 inhabitants within the Regional Park of the Modenese High Apennines, otherwise known as the Frignano regional park, a rich and colourful natural area of lakes and mountains maintained for the growth and preservation of rare species, animals and plants. The park covers 15 thousand hectares, rising to a height of 2,165 metres (7,100 feet) at the summit of Monte Cimone. Among the several rare species to be found in the park are Alpine Marmots and Apennine Wolves. The area is popular for mountain biking, trekking and orienteering, and snow tracking in the winter. Fanano itself is close to the lakes of Scaffaiolo and Pratignano and the Passo della Croce Arcana, an alpine pass at 1,669m (5,475ft) between outlying areas of Fanano and Cutigliano.
Fanano is just over 60km (37 miles) from the city of Modena, which is well known for a variety of reasons, as a centre of the car industry - Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Pagani and Maserati all have connections with the city - the home of balsamic vinegar, and the birthplace of the great tenor, Luciano Pavarotti. One of the main sights in Modena is the huge, baroque Ducal Palace, which was begun by Francesco I d'Este, Duke of Modena, on the site of a former castle in 1635. His architect, Luigi Bartolomeo Avanzini, created a home for him that few European princes could match at the time. The palace is now home to the Italian national military academy. In the Galleria Estense, on the upper floor of the Palazzo dei Musei in Modena, there is a one-metre high bust of Francesco by Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Giorgio Cantarini, who delivered an award-winning performance in the triple Oscar-winning movie Life Is Beautiful when he was just five years old, was born on this day in 1992 in Orvieto.
Cantarini was cast as Giosuè, the four-year-old son of Roberto Benigni's character, Guido, in the 1997 film, which brought Academy Awards for Benigni as Best Actor and, as the director, for Best Foreign Film. For his own part, Cantarini was rewarded for a captivating performance in the poignant story with a Young Artist award.
Three years later, in Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning blockbuster Gladiator, Cantarini was given another coveted part as the son of Russell Crowe's character, Maximus.
Born to parents who separated soon after his fifth birthday, Cantarini went to an audition for the part of Giosuè after an uncle read a description in a newspaper article of the kind of child Benigni wanted and told him he was a perfect match.
Cantarini recalled in an interview in 2018 that the audition consisted simply of a conversation with Benigni, with no acting involved. Once shooting began, he was told what to do on a scene-by-scene basis.
Despite the success of Life Is Beautiful and Gladiator, and the acclaim he received, Cantarini went back to school with no thought of becoming an actor when he grew up. His ambition was to become a footballer. Once he was in high school, however, his friends and teachers convinced him he should not let his acting talent go to waste.
After appearing in a small number of films and tv dramas - plus an appearance on the the popular tv show Ballando con le Stelle - he joined hundreds of hopefuls in applying for a place at the prestigious Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia - the national film school - in Rome and to his surprise and delight was accepted as one of just six boys and six girls to be admitted in 2012.
After graduation, he was immediately cast in the lead role of AUS- adotta uno studente - Adopt a Student - the first online-only series produced by Rai.
Following a period working in Paris, he returned to Italy in 2016 to perform, direct and produce Harold Pinter's play The Dumb Waiter for theatres in Rome and Vicenza, in collaboration with his friend and colleague, Miguel Gobbo Diaz.
In 2017, he played the lead role in Il dottore dei pesci - The Fish Doctor - an Italo-American short film directed by Susanna Della Sala, which was presented at numerous film festivals in Europe and Canada.
At the beginning of 2018 he moved to New York to study at the New York Film Academy and later in the year was selected for the cast of Lamborghini - the Legend, directed by Bobby Moresco, filmed in Italy and starring Antonio Banderas and Alec Baldwin.
Cantarini's home in Italy is in Viterbo in Lazio, where his mother and brother Lorenzo live. He remains in touch with Roberto Benigni, who provided a reference for his application for a visa to work in the United States.
Orvieto, where Cantarini was born, is a small city in Umbria with a population of just 20,000, built on the top of a cliff of volcanic tuff stone. Surrounded by defensive walls built by the Etruscans, it makes an imposing sight. Situated about 120km (75 miles) north of Rome, it boasts one of Italy's finest cathedrals in Italy - the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta - with a stunningly beautiful Romanesque Gothic facade inlaid with gold mosaics fronting a building constructed from alternate layers of black and white marble. The city's medieval streets are known as a cultural paradise - busy with cafés and restaurants, bookshops, artisans' workshops and antique emporia.
Viterbo, where Cantarini now lives when in Italy, is the largest town in northern Lazio, situated about 80km (50 miles) north of Rome. It is regarded as one of the best preserved medieval towns in Italy, with many buildings in the San Pellegrino quarter featuring external staircases. The town's impressive Palazzo dei Papi, was used as the papal palace for about 20 years during the 13th century. Completed in about 1266, the palace has a large audience hall, which connects with a loggia raised above street level by a barrel vault.

Man's claim gives false hope in yearslong missing boy case
A slab of concrete sits in the backyard of the house where Timmothy Pitzen used to live in Aurora, Ill., Thursday, April, 4, 2019. The man who lives in the house now, Pedro Melendez, says he didn't know the boy but saved the concrete slab with Tim's name, handprint and footprint etched in it when he redid the back patio. Authorities conducted DNA testing to try to determine Thursday whether a teenager found wandering the streets of a Kentucky town is who he claims to be — an Illinois boy who disappeared eight years ago around the time his mother took her own life.

Published April 4, 2019 at 10:04pm
CINCINNATI (AP) — A 23-year-old ex-convict accused of pulling a cruel hoax by pretending to be a long-missing Illinois boy was charged Friday with making false statements to federal authorities.
The FBI said Brian Rini had made false claims twice before, portraying himself as a juvenile sex-trafficking victim.
The Medina, Ohio, man was jailed in Cincinnati on Thursday, a day after telling authorities he was 14-year-old Timmothy Pitzen, who disappeared in 2011 at age 6. The FBI declared Rini's story a hoax after performing a DNA test.
The charge should send a message about the damage such false claims can do, said U.S. Attorney Benjamin Glassman.
"It's not OK to do it because of the harm that it causes, the pain, for the family of that missing child," Glassman said.
Rini's story had briefly raised hope among Timmothy's relatives that the youngster's disappearance had finally been solved after eight long years. But those hopes were dashed when the test results came back.
"It's devastating. It's like reliving that day all over again," said Timmothy's aunt Kara Jacobs.
Rini was jailed for a bail hearing on Tuesday. His public defender did not immediately return a message. Rini could get up to eight years in prison.
Rini was found wandering the streets on Wednesday and told authorities he had just escaped his captors after years of abuse, officials said. He claimed he had been forced to have sex with men, according to the FBI.
When confronted with the DNA results, Rini acknowledged his identity, saying he had watched a story about Timmothy on ABC's "20/20" and wanted to get away from his own family, the FBI said.
Rini said "he wished he had a father like Timmothy's because if he went missing, his father would just keep drinking," the FBI said in court papers. A message left with Rini's father for comment was not immediately returned.
Glassman said authorities were skeptical early on of Rini's claim because he refused to be fingerprinted, though he did agree to a DNA swab. Rini also looks older than 14, but Glassman said investigators wanted to make sure "there was no opportunity missed to actually find Timmothy Pitzen."
Rini's DNA was already on file because of his criminal record. He was released from prison less than a month ago after serving more than a year for burglary and vandalism.
He twice portrayed himself in Ohio as a juvenile victim of sex trafficking, and in each case was identified after being fingerprinted, authorities said.
In 2017, Rini was treated at an Ohio center for people with mental health or substance abuse problems, according to court papers.
Timmothy, of Aurora, Illinois, vanished after his mother pulled him out of kindergarten, took him on a two-day road trip to the zoo and a water park, and then killed herself at a hotel. She left a note saying that her son was safe with people who would love and care for him, and added: "You will never find him."
After Rini's account was pronounced a hoax, Timmothy's grandmother Alana Anderson said: "It's been awful. We've been on tenterhooks, hopeful and frightened. It's just been exhausting."
She added, "I feel so sorry for the young man who's obviously had a horrible time and felt the need to say he was somebody else."

White House Discloses Ethics Waivers For Presidential Aides
By Peter Overby
Evan Vucci
The White House released ethics waivers for ex-lobbyists and numerous others who have joined the government. The White House granted 14 waivers, including one for Kellyanne Conway.
The White House on Wednesday night released 14 ethics waivers — documents that exempt some top presidential aides from important ethics rules.
The disclosures came after a quiet but tough battle between Trump administration officials and the Office of Government Ethics.
The waivers are considered public documents, but for weeks after President Trump took office, they weren't made public.
In April, the Office of Government Ethics began to push the issue.
The White House initially said OGE didn't have the legal authority to do that, but on Wednesday it agreed to post the waivers online.
Office Director Walter Shaub Jr. had a terse response: "I'm pleased that the White House has released the waivers on its website. Having the waivers is critical to ensuring that agencies and individual appointees are adhering to ethics requirements."
The 14 waivers issued by the White House include 11 for specific individuals, and three covering groups of people — among them White House counsel Don McGahn and five other lawyers from the Jones Day law firm.
Among those getting ethics waivers: White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, who was allowed to take bonuses of $175,000 from his old job running the Republican National Committee.
Presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway was allowed to communicate with clients from her former consulting firm, but only on "broad policy matters."
Three former corporate lobbyists will keep working on the issues they dealt with before: finance, energy and the environment.
And chief strategist Steve Bannon, the former head of Breitbart News, may meet privately with the media outlet.
More waivers are out there, and the Office of Government Ethics expects to make them public as it collects them from other federal agencies.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines — Members of the League of Filipino Students-Southern Mindanao region held an indignation rally, Friday, in front of the City Hall to protest the detention and forced deportation of Moro activist Jerome Aba.
Abdul Sissay, LFS-SMR spokesperson, slammed the harassment made against Jerome Aba who was detained and tortured in a United States airport last week and the Philippine government's apathy to protect the right of its own citizen in a foreign land.
Sissay added that the abuse heaped on Aba is only one of the increasing human rights violations perpetrated or backed by the Duterte administration.
At the House of Representatives, the Makabayan opposition bloc has filed a resolution which sought to probe the detention and torture of Aba by the United States Homeland Security and Customs Border and Protection.
The House Resolution 1826 was filed by Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate, ACT-Teachers Reps. Antonio Tinio and France Castro, Gabriela Reps. Emmi de Jesus and Arlene Brosas, Anakpawis Rep. Ariel Casilao and Kabataan Rep. Sarah Elago last Wednesday.
Zarate decried how activists remain under attack in the Philippines and in the US.
Zarate also cited the detention and expulsion of Australian missionary nun Patricia Fox, as well as peasant activists who were killed.
In his testimony during a press conference in Manila, Aba recounted his ordeal at the hands of US authorities.
Last April 17, Aba, a Moro and human rights activist and chairperson of Suara Bangsamoro, was briefly held by Immigration agents at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on his scheduled flight to US.
He was invited by the Human Rights Office of the Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church to be a resource speaker at the 2028 Ecumenical Advocacy Days in Washington, DC.
When he was held at the Manila airport, he was asked if he would be participating in rallies in the US. He was also subjected to separate random security checks.
Aba was interrogated for 12 hours by different officers and was denied food, sleep and access to a lawyer.
He was forced to admit that he was a "terrorist and communist despite his truthful answers.
At one point, Aba was made to strip naked in front of a large industrial fan inside an air-conditioned room.
He was forced to sign a blank waiver attesting that he was treated humanely by the officers. He was later deported back to the Philippines.

H.M.S. Welland was one of the Royal Navy's thirty-six "River" class destroyers.
In April, 1908, she was one of ten Rivers expected to arrive at Portsmouth in order to have H.M.S. Vernon install wireless telegraphy equipment in them.
On the night of 27 April, 1908, Welland suffered significant damage in a collision with Attentive, which also struck and sank the Gala.
She and sixteen other destroyers of the Reserve Division arrived at Sheerness on 13 July 1905 and proceeded to Chatham.
In mid-1913, Welland was at Hong Kong.

Uber Human Trafficking Initiative: The Case For Ghana

Radio Advertisement Campaign to Raise Awareness on Human Trafficking
Forced Begging: A Crime Fueling Child Trafficking
A Ghanaian human rights centre has revealed that the number of child beggars in the country is rising, and many of them are forced to do so by organised crime groups.
The Eban Centre for Human Trafficking has called for the attention of government to look into options in eradicating child begging throughout cities including Osu, Nima, Madina, Circle and Shiashie, where they normally frequent.
"Globally, begging is prevalent amongst different cultures and in different forms. Begging and the cartel or forces behind it indicates a weak national and human security lapses of a state," said Rex Osei Sarpong, the executive director at Eban.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) defines child labour as "work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity."
Worldwide, 218 million children between five and 17 are employed. Of them, 73 million work in hazardous conditions.
"In its most extreme forms, child labour involves children being enslaved, separated from their families, exposed to serious hazards and illnesses and/or left to fend for themselves on the streets of large cities – often at a very early age," ILO wrote in a statement online.
Eban said although it is the legal obligation of the country to protect its citizens, specifically children who are used to perform jobs unlawfully, the case is different in Ghana.
"Most cultures have justified the act of begging as an act necessitated due to structural issues like poverty and socio-inequality," Sarpong said.
"This 'religio-culture' position, have been preyed upon by criminal organizations who have cashed out of the act of begging, to traffic homeless and deprived children to make profits."
In research conducted by Eban, traffickers make approximately $40,000 annually through the use of disabled children who beg on streets.
The study showed that kidnapped children are forced to beg for money, then are introduced to drugs and gangs. Addiction typically follows; the children then resort to begging as a means to feed their habit.
"It is sad to note that, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection is yet, to realize its objective of getting 300,000 children off the streets," Sarpong said.
But the Ministry maintains that they function to "formulate gender, child development and social protection policy and coordinate gender, child and social protection-related programmes."
Eban is requesting that government "affirm the nation's commitment to ending human trafficking," and "recommends the establishment of a child protection system that suits Ghana."

May Day otherwise known as international workers' day or Labour Day in short, is celebrated around the globe in different styles. Unlike here in the UK where you have the add skirmishes between police and protester; elsewhere people celebrate or commemorate the occasion differently. You could take a short break to Paris, Beijing, Havana and Pyongyang, North Korea to be part of the occasion.
Nowhere celebrate "May Day" like Cuba; May Day in Havana has to be seen to be believed. On an island with a population of 11 million, it is estimated that about 6 million take part in May Day celebrations and more than 1 million gather in Plaza de la Revolucion, making it the largest annual gathering after the Mecca pilgrimage.
International workers' day in Paris is another big occasion; everything in the city bar the Eiffel Tower closes for La Fete du Travail, which sees the main unions march through east Paris. The Bastille is a good place to hangout during the parade.
In Beijing, China, they celebrate Labour Day for three days, although most people take the whole week off. While this means you're unlikely to have of the major sites to yourself, it also makes for a great atmosphere as the major parks and squares will be teeming with people out in celebration. The main event, though takes place in Tiananmen Square.
Like its Chinese neighbour, the North Koreans take their May Day celebration seriously. A good place to hangout during the celebration is in Pyongyang's central Kim II-Sung Square, where it is a little les serious.

Apple to Samsung: You Give Us $2.5 Billion and We'll Give You a Half-Cent-a-Unit Royalty
Apple has put a dollar figure on the damages it believes that it is owed by Samsung for the company's alleged infringement of its patents, and it's an awfully big number.
According to a court filing first published by FOSS Patents, Apple is seeking $2.5 billion from its Korean rival, which it argues illegally chose to compete by copying Apple. "Samsung once sold a range of phones and a tablet of its own design," Apple wrote in its filing. "Now Samsung's mobile 13 devices not only look like Apple's iPhone and iPad, they use Apple's patented software features to interact with the user."
And that has wrongfully enriched Samsung, while harming Apple.
"Samsung's infringing sales have enabled Samsung to overtake Apple as the largest manufacturer of smartphones in the world," Apple wrote in the filing. "Samsung has reaped billions of dollars in profits and caused Apple to lose hundred of millions of dollars through its violation of Apple's intellectual property. Apple conservatively estimates that as of March 31, 2012, Samsung has been unjustly enriched by about [REDACTED] and has additionally cost Apple about $500 million in lost profits."
To make good on those violations, Apple is demanding $24 per infringing device. Breaking those damages down by patent, Apple seeks $2.02 per unit for its '318 "overscroll bounce" patent, $3.10 per unit for its '915 "scrolling API" patent, $2.02 per unit for its '163 "tap to zoom and navigate," and $24 per unit for the use of any of its "design patents or trade dress rights."
And as for the royalty rate of 2.4 percent that Samsung has been demanding from Apple for use of its standards-essential wireless patents, Cupertino says that's far too high. Apple asserts that the amount should be just $0.0049 per unit, arguing that the royalty should not be calculated from the market value of the device in which they are used. Rather, "the royalty should be applied to a base equal to the price of the baseband processor, the smallest priceable unit containing the accused functionality." Baseband chips sell for about $10 apiece, so Samsung is entitled to just a half cent per iPhone.
To Samsung, Apple's argument that its standards-essential technology is nearly worthless is simply ludicrous. In a filing of its own, the company reminded the court that without that technology there might not be an iPhone, and accused Apple of attempting "to stifle legitimate competition and limit consumer choice to maintain its historically exorbitant profits."
Samsung has not yet responded to a request for comment.

It indeed is a good strategy. But one thing everyone should follow is put your target and sl orders along with your buy/sell order. The morning movements are so fast that it will reach your target and come back and we won't get opportunity to put sell order. This happened with me in once and I had to book a tiny loss.
Scalping tread retail investor kar Payenge ?
Live trading karke batao...bohot bhashon sun liye.
Rajat Sahoo , Defers from script to script. You vl have to sit and observe one or two script for around a year. That too understanding the movement with respect to the other factors. Only then you have the best chances to predict it right. That too the right prediction probability increases by around 15-20% if u r a good observer. Although we are doing intraday trading, but the preparation needs to be a very long term one..
Can we use this strategy for options ??


New research is casting doubt on the merits of a popular autism treatment which relies on weighted vests, bouncy balls and other sensory stimuli.
Researchers reviewed 25 existing studies looking at sensory integration therapy and found that the method is not scientifically supported.
"Rigorous, methodologically sound studies do not indicate that it helps and, in fact, the majority of studies that were reviewed reported no benefits for children with ASD," said Mark O'Reilly of the University of Texas at Austin who worked on the analysis, which was published in the journal Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Sensory integration therapy is intended to address the atypical responses that many with autism have to sight, sound, touch and other sensory stimuli. Therapists utilize swings, balls, brushes and other specially-designed tools to help those on the spectrum learn to cope.
The review is not the first to question the value of sensory integration therapy. Earlier this year, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a policy statement indicating that support is lacking for the method, but did not go so far as to advise against it.
"Parents should be informed that the amount of research regarding the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy is limited and inconclusive," the pediatrics group said.


No more nice-guy nonsense about history. It's time to learn it the horrible way. Forget the yawnsome bits and check out the nasty bits. It's historically funny! Meet the Barmy Brits. Lots of countries beat them at football. But no one beats them at horrible history. Were the Brits happy sitting at home being yucky? Oh no! They spread their gross deeds all around the world. Which involved: a massive Empire. Cruel conquerors. Savage slavers. Rotten rebels. Wearing a necklace made of 50 human skulls. Using a coffin as a wardrobe. Told you they were barmy!

EDC Learners from Liberia Visit the White House
Young women attend event to celebrate education initiative Let Girls Learn.
Eight young women, participants in the USAID Liberia Advancing Youth Project run by EDC, were in Washington, D.C., last week as guests of First Lady Michelle Obama. Their visit was part of Let Girls Learn, a U.S. government global education initiative.
Liberia_Announce-Inset.jpg
The young women first met with Obama in July when she visited the R.S. Caulfield School in Unification Town, Liberia, and led a discussion along with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. The visit is featured in the new CNN documentary We Will Rise, which had its world premiere on October 12.
The young women's visit to the United States and the release of the film were part of a series of events in celebration of International Day of the Girl (October 11). In proclaiming the day, President Obama called out Let Girls Learn, a $1-billion initiative that supports programs in over 50 countries to enable girls to attend and finish school. (The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has estimated that more than 62 million girls worldwide are not in school.)
Since 2011, the USAID Liberia Advancing Youth Project has enrolled more than 22,000 learners, of which 69 percent are women. The project has also conducted training for nearly 2,000 public school teachers and administrators to enhance the delivery of basic education.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- People looking to buy a home in the greater Grand Rapids area are quickly finding supply isn't meeting demand.
According to the Grand Rapids Association of Realtors, the number of houses on the market is at a 15-year low. There's only a one to two month supply, which means that it would only take a couple months to sell every home currently available on the market.
Julie Rietberg, CEO of the Grand Rapids Association of Realtors, says that members have been concerned about the low inventory for the past two years, and that supply has recently gotten worse.
"There's simply not enough inventory for the number of buyers out there," Rietberg said, "so it's the whole issue of supply and demand."
With the supply of homes dwindling but demand remaining constant, home prices are rising. According to GRAR, the average home price in Grand Rapids is roughly $175,000, a 20-year high, and on the expensive side for first-time buyers.
For instance, Felicia Kas has been looking to buy a home for about eight months, but she says good houses go too fast. "It's an emotional thing to buy a house, and if you get outbid, it's devastating," Kas told FOX 17. "Don't get your hopes up, because you're probably going to get in a bidding war."
Part of the problem stems from the kinds of new homes that are being built. Rietberg says that builders today can find available lots for high-end housing, but affordable housing areas are elusive. As a result, professionals say potential buyers can expect to see homes built in areas that homes aren't normally built in an effort to revive inventory.

(31. December 1984) – There should be 100% employment for the local people. The basic right of all people is to be guaranteed the minimum essentials for their existence, including at least proper food, clothing, housing, education and medical care. This basic right should be arranged through cent per cent guaranteed employment, not through welfare or dole-outs. Unemployment is a critical economic problem in the world today and 100% employment of the local people is the only way to solve this problem.
Local people are defined as those who have merged individual socio-economic interests with the socio-economic interests of the socio-economic unit they live in. The primary consideration is whether or not people have merged their individual interests with their socio-economic unit, regardless of their colour, creed, race, mother tongue, birthplace, etc. Those who earn their livelihood in a particular socio-economic unit but spend their earnings in another socio-economic unit should be considered as outsiders or non-local people, as this practice is not in accordance with the interests of the socioeconomic unit in which they are employed. It results in the drainage of the capital necessary for the continued growth of that unit and undermines its economic development.
Capitalists, in either their singular or collective forms, are the most pernicious economic exploiters today. All over the world they are continually exploiting local economies and draining their wealth. In nearly all cases the profits they accrue are spent outside the local area and remitted to outside stockholders and parent companies. An essential measure to control this economic exploitation is that the speculative markets in all countries of the world should be closed down immediately.
To create 100% employment among local people, PROUT supports both a short term and a long term economic plan. In the short term plan, labour intensive industries based on the collective minimum requirements of life should be started immediately or made more productive where they already exist. These industries should be based on the consumption motive. They should also provide a rational profit in order to guarantee adequate purchasing capacity to those employed in them and to ensure their continued existence and growth. In North Bihar, for example, where there is virtually no industry, all kinds of agrico and agro-industries can be developed to alleviate the unemployment problem there.
In the long term plan, capital intensive industries should also be developed to increase the productive capacity of the socioeconomic unit. PROUT advocates a three-tiered economic structure, that is, small scale privately owned businesses, medium scale cooperatives and large scale key industries managed by the immediate government. Such an economic structure should be based on the principles of self-reliance, maximum utilization, rational distribution, decentralization, rationalization and progressive increases in the standard of living of all people. Through the never ending creation of new industries, new products and new production techniques incorporating the latest scientific discoveries, the vitality of the economy can be increased. As part of the long term economic plan, working hours may also be progressively reduced to maintain full employment.
To solve the unemployment problem in both the short and long term there must be an accurate understanding of the surplus and deficit manual and intellectual labour trends. In India, for example, there is surplus manual labour in North Bihar, which is based upon an agricultural economy, and surplus intellectual labour in Calcutta. In both places there is high unemployment. In most of the countries of the world where there is high unemployment, there is surplus manual labour. So manual labour intensive industries are required to create employment. In some instances where deficit labour exists for an expanding industry, retraining programs may equip workers with the necessary skills for employment.
Another way to help solve unemployment, especially in rural communities, is the utilization of plants for economic selfreliance. All socio-economic units have the potential to increase their plant and crop varieties by properly matching these with the soil, topography and climatic conditions etc. in their units. Reforestation can reclaim arid and semi-arid regions, and some unique plants like the fern (Puranica), which has the capacity to attract clouds, can help radically transform the rainfall and weather patterns of a region. Agro- and agrico-industries based upon the productive potential of different plants can also help solve rural unemployment by creating a range of new goods and services. There are many dimensions to this revolutionary plant rationalization program, which is also a practical expression of the ideals of Neohumanism.
From PROUT in a Nutshell Part 13.

Told ya it was Dark!
mantez Emerald Sparx Gems: 3167
Here is a video with some gameplay.
Gullible is not in the dictionary.
I wouldn't be too hasty, if I were you. It may look Dark, but it could very well be a mistake.
Huh? Where's dark? I don't see him.
These guys are the MVPs, they were the only ones that cared about Battlecast during release.
Nothing new though :I
the ninja guy looks like gengar but with a witch's nose, armor, a crown, and gold stars.
It's only Trap Team villains guys, on the website itself.
Also, this was posted by sensei_ambush on instagram. It might be something. Looks to have a base and everything.

That looks like an over exposed version of the first blurry Sensei image.
So...I guess Spellslamzer and Mesmeralda won't be in this after all...I'll admit that I'm sad about no Slammy but daaaaang are people going to be salty about Mesmeralda.
It's the other Sensei with effects. Skylanders_master_eon told me (aka skylandsfan)
Yeah,it's the same picture with bloom kicked up a notch. Can see even less with that, we need clearer colors but it's too much.
Actually, if it's smaller, we can get something out of it.
It's crazy, but I'm starting to see it look more like a Life character now...
I still see the Dark Base.
Am I the only one who sees a face? I don't think he was facing the opposite way after all....
I see red eyes.

I sort of do, but I think it's the reflection of the light when it was on the table.
No, I see it, too. He might have a similar body shape to Pop Fizz or Trigger Happy.
You know, I'm actually starting to see grass under that character. Maybe it is Life.
Edited 1 time - Last edited at 22:33:47 03/07/2016 by SodaPopHD
I'm starting to think hes Tech... I kinda hope so, though with recent discoveries I'm still assuming hes Dark.
I swear if Dreamcatcher's not in then.... they messed up the villain roster. Since Mesmeralda is dead Dreamcatcher is the only villain I want to see.
Just one last time
R.I.P Mesmeralda 2013-2015
The show is over.
So this basically confirms Kaos if the roster is all Trap Team.
Hmph, just because the website says so, they could have changed the lineup or might change the lineup. That's why I'm still hesitant to say all of the Villains from Trap Team have been confirmed. Especially since there are a lot of other Villains to choose from (fan-favorites like Mesmeralda and stuff).
Maybe it is that way, but for now, I'm not sure.
running the photo through some photo editing software.
guess this means kaos takes up the last spot for the eleventh villain
I am pissed that neither Bubba Greebs OR Baron Von Shellshock at least have a CHANCE.
I guess getting Gulper will make up for it...
skylandsfan Gold Sparx Gems: 2759
Just so you guys know, I'm still playing around with the images. That's why I didn't post them myself. If I come across something, I'll let you guys know

Looking at the photo closely, he looks like a small ninja robot. He does look mechanical to me (blue metal armor, recoil limbs), but I see a possible Life base.
B-but Bad Juju, ghost waifu's last chance of redemption after her **** moveset!
They said the Trap Team villains, not the Trappable villains. We could still get Glumshanks. I know we won't because of the mention of Cloudcracker Prison,but if not Mesmeralda, we could still have him by twisting some words.
That guy looks like a beetle of some kind.
Bad Juju would be nice too, but I'm already so bitter after the loss of my spider waifu, I need something! (aside from GQ)
I feel you about mesmerelda even tho it was highly unlikely I had hopes for Bubba Greens and now they are crushed
Can we talk about this? I mean, Wolfgang's new art is on there before we even got the actual art, so that means that there is a 98% chance that it's real, so what if the Dark Starter Pack really does come with this chest?
It can be real,but since we got no updates on the Dark Starter pack, we can only guess about the chest, since we've seen Wolfgang parts in footage already meaning his set isn't exclusive to it.
From that picture (and purely from that specific one) it looks similar to Gadunka, both in size, overall shape and pose, except with red eyes.
Whatever it is, I think he definitely uses gold ninja stars as weapons.
And you were right, Luminous, that base seems to have the Dark pearlized green.
"Instead of going back to Cloudcracker Prison"
That technically eliminates Kaos from the roster. He was never imprisoned there.
Quote: Nightmoon
but who else would the 11th villain be.
Anyone who went to Cloudcracker Prison at least one time, apparently.
Though there isn't anyone truly special left, after the official and unofficial Doom Raiders.
Which makes me even more convinced there is no 11th villain at all.
The extra character was most likely Crash.

skylandsfan enhanced that photo..
that's a dark element base, i think
That kind of looks like a short Skylander with a huge face. Probably a Dark Gremlin of the Ninja class. He looks to have the same body type as Pop Fizz or Trigger Happy.
I was thinking that too. He kind of looks like Gengar (the Pokemon). A lot of people think all those gold things are throwing stars and he would be a Ninja, but on the left it looks like a staff with a star at the top of it.
What "11th Villain"? I've never heard of any "11th Villain", other than a myth. I've heard people say the Villain count is 11, but there is not a single proper source for that number. It was just derived from 31, but as we all know, Crash is in the game, taking up that 31st spot.
This reminds me of SSC, with speculation of "2 NEW Light and 2 NEW Dark", due to the 20/20 roster, but it turned out to be DK and Bowser + their vehicles. That time, it seemed likely, since we had no basis for Guest Stars, but this time we do, and Crash has been confirmed.
Also, clear-ish (obviously blurry because it's taken from a tiny cutout, but that's what we have to deal with) pic of the figure with extra lighting. I think this is as good as we're going to get it. Looks really weird. I don't think we're going to be anywhere close to guessing what it actually is, other than maybe Battle Class and Element, nothing about the character itself.
We HAVE actually had official sources say that there are 32 new characters, that's why everyone is confused.
I'm on the side of no Kaos figure. It would really mess with what little continuity Skylanders has. Anyways, since the game is still in early, not so polished, phases I think some of the devs might have been misinformed/confused on the number of characters. Plus, Activision still seems intent on Kaos being the main series villain, so making him a Skylander/Sensei would kinda disqualify him as a villain. It mentions him in the official story for Imaginators, so unless they quickly make up some lore as to why he is both the villain and a Sensei I find it hard to believe he could be the supposed 11th villain.
I found a total of one source for the 32 number: Skylanders Inquirer. They confirmed Crash was not one of the 20 main Senseis. However, their inclusion of 11 Villains seems baseless, simply conforming to the general consensus that there are 11 Villains, despite no actual evidence of this.
Or, the press release at reveal that said specifically "11 Returning Villains". If there's any mistake and it's just Crash, it's not our ot the journalists' mistake, it's Activision.
i'm still sticking to my theory that this dark ninja just is like some kind of evil king with a creepy face and pointy nose. and no body.
Quote: Official Press Release
There are a total of 31 Senseis, which include some fan-favorite villains who have been reformed and now fight for good!
This is the only sentence in which Villains are mentioned. No number is given whatsoever of how many there are. Nor how many non-Villain Senseis there are, for that matter.
Toys for Bob and Activision have been extremely careful never to mention the breakdown of figures beyond 31, just like VV and Acti were extremely careful never to mention the breakdown of Brand New, Reposes and Guest Stars in SSC until the proper reveal.

I read this a while ago, but I didn't and still don't think it really mean s much.
The question is literally " are TT villains back? "
Answer "yes"
They don't say " only TT villains"
Although I think only TT makes sense Coz all the charscters were already designed for TT playability, so it'd just be easier to use them seeing as most of the basic movements etc are already thought up.
Some people are suggesting that the ninja is a cockroach. Not sure why, but just putting it out there
Oh man a cockroach would be amazing
the 11th villain will be grinnade
i know it bcuz my uncle works at nintendo
...no, we've specifically heard 10/11 villains, old characters usually don't overshadow new designs.

In my relentless pursuit of new entertainment options in the Kansas City area, I recently discovered an entirely new city just across the river from downtown Kansas City, Mo. This little-known municipality, referred to by natives as "North Kansas City," appears to be a self-sustaining community complete with movie theaters, restaurants, breweries and dentist offices.
I'm kidding, of course. But not entirely — North Kansas City (or Kansas City North, as it's sometimes known) is generally off the radar for most out-of-town visitors. In recent years, however, it's steadily become more than just a place to kill time when your flight from KCI is delayed.
The best place to start exploring is North Kansas City's downtown strip along Armour Road, just west of I-35. Readers of this column are already aware of my passion for Le Monde Bakery (308 Armour Road), which serves everything from delicious sugary palmiers to savory chicken curry soup. Le Monde Bakery is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Saturday from 6 a.m. to noon.
Cinema buffs can count on a steady lineup of new releases and special engagements at Screenland Armour (408 Armour Road, screenland.com/armour), which serves dozens of beers and is home to 10 different arcade games in addition to its two historic screens.
On Aug. 21 and 22, Screenland Armour will host the annual Arts & Crafts Beer Festival, which brings together independent filmmakers, musicians and artists and a variety of craft beers. Find more details at artsandcraftskc.com.
Speaking of beers, North Kansas City is home to two excellent breweries along Burlington Road (Highway 9). Just around the corner from Armour Road is Cinder Block Brewery (110 E. 18th Ave.), whose year-round offerings include Block IPA, Weathered Wit and Prime Extra Pale Ale. Current seasonal offerings include Rivet Rye (hoppy rye wheat) and Lusus Naturae (farmhouse peach sour).
Check out cinderblockbrewery.com for more current offerings, or visit the brewery from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, or from noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Cinder Block features live music and a food truck on Saturday nights.
The Big Rip Brewing Company, just down the street at 216 E. Ninth Ave., offers its own refreshing variety of beers brewed on site, with standouts including the Hathor's Sweet Brown, Imperial Milk Stout and the Aisle 12 West Coast IPA.
Big Rip doesn't serve food, but the building is connected to El Burrito Loco (another worthwhile North KC destination), and their staff will drop by to take your order from the menus provided at the brewery. For a list of current beers on tap, visit bigripbrewing.com.
And no sports buff in the Midwest should go without a visit to Chappell's Restaurant and Sports Museum, a laid-back spot on 323 Armour Road that has served tasty pub grub and displayed a staggering collection of sports memorabilia for nearly three decades.
With artifacts from past World Series, Super Bowls, NCAA championships and bygone sports leagues, Chappell's has been named among the country's top sports bars by Sports Illustrated and USA Today.
Owner Jim Chappell is often present to greet diners and show them around the collection, which could easily be a museum in its own right. (The food's good, too.) Chappell's is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. More info at chappellsrestaurant.com.
If all this beer and burrito talk is making you want to reach for a serving of kale and kombucha, head to Green Acres Market, an organic food market that first opened in Wichita in 1996 and expanded to Kansas City 10 years later.
The Kansas City location is at 4175 Mulberry Drive in the Briarcliff Village shopping center, and offers products from a variety of local partners as well as national brands. I've found the prices to be reasonable and the staff to be both knowledgeable and friendly. Find more info at greenacres.com.
Young children will enjoy the Kansas City Northern Railroad at 6060 Waukomis Drive, a miniature train line that operates on a half-mile of track.
The group of railroad and history buffs was formed in 1984 when a group of volunteers restored the former Kansas City Zoo train that had operated in Swope Park.
The KCNRR is open from noon to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, from May through September, as well as holidays. Rides are only 75 cents a pop. Visit kcnrr.com for more information.

Black Law Professor Argues Being Black In America Is A 'Disability'
How insulting and degrading is this? Anyone who to thinks that liberals, leftists, Democrats, or progressives have your best interests in mind is just insane. The perpetration of continuous victimhood is just another excuse.
If there ever was a textbook definition of BS this lady has nailed it perfectly…
A black law professor argues that African Americans should embrace the notion that being black in America is a disability as a new legal strategy toward enacting protections for the black community against unconscious bias, stereotyping and structural inequality.
Kimani Paul-Emile, an associate professor of law at Fordham University and associate director of its law school's Center on Race, Law & Justice, argues that while Africans Americans might initially spurn the "blackness as disability" label, it can actually be a wise courtroom plan.
Paul-Emile argues that being disabled does not have the same extreme negative connotation as it did in the past, and what's more, disability law does not force plaintiffs to show that the harm they've suffered was intentional, that "discriminatory effect is almost always enough."
"Rather than focusing on malicious intent, disability law accepts the impact of even neutral actions, policies, and programs, directly confronting the ways in which social structures, institutions, and norms can 'substantially limit' a person's ability to perform 'a major life activity.' It thus requires that even discrimination based on unacknowledged bias be addressed," Paul-Emile wrote in her article, a forthcoming piece in Georgetown Law Review excerpted by Fordham Law News.
With that, black people can claim "blackness as disability" as a remedial legal effort, harnessing this new paradigm to use the courts to require some sort of structural reforms that benefit the black community against what Paul-Emile contends is the limited opportunity African Americans face today due to unconscious bias, stereotyping and structural inequality.
The College Fix reached out to Paul-Emile for comment several times via email to ask her whether Hispanics or other minorities could also be labeled disabled, and what her opinion would be if a white person made the claim that black people are disabled. She did not respond.
"Blackness in the United States has an independent disabling effect distinct from the effects of socioeconomic status," the law professor wrote. Read more at The College Fix.
