Residents in flood prone areas advised to plan to relocate to safer grounds
KOTA KINABALU: Residents in flood prone areas are advised to make plans to relocate to safer grounds during heavy rains.
Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Kitingan said the government is doing everything possible to complete flood mitigation projects, including two that are currently underway in Penampang and Putatan.
"Unfortunately, these works will only be completed in a few years and we anticipate that the entire flood mitigation works will be fully completed in six years time," he said.
"In the meantime, I urge residents living around flood prone areas to make plans to relocate during this rainy season," he said.
Kitingan said this during his visit to the Penampang Cultural Centre on Monday (Oct 10), where flood victims are temporarily housed following floods on starting Sunday (Oct 9).
Kitingan advised residents in low-lying areas to always be wary of rising river water.
He also discouraged landowners to avoid building their houses too close to rivers.
He said with the weather getting more erratic due to the effects of climate change, it was vital for villagers themselves to make proper planning to avoid losses during floods.
Kitingan said the Meteorological Department information also showed that the rainy season was just beginning, with more rains expected till end of the year.
During the visit to the temporary evacuation centre, he was briefed on the flood situation on the ground and the steps taken to assist victims.
He was accompanied by the Penampang district officer Francis Chong, welfare department officers, District Engineer Irene Choo, district police chief Deputy Supt Mohd Haris Ibrahim and Senator Datuk Ambrose Dumpangul.
Civil Defence Department records show that there are a total of 142 flood evacuees from 36 families housed at the various centres in Putatan, Penampang, Papar and Membakut districts as at 8am on Tuesday (Oct 11).

BERLIN (Reuters) - A senior member of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) said on Wednesday that media had misrepresented comments he made about Berlin's Holocaust memorial and the need to rewrite history books to focus more on German victims.
A speech by Bjoern Hoecke, the AfD's leader in the eastern state of Thuringia, on Tuesday triggered anger across Germany and even caused one member of the radical Left party to report him for incitement to racial hatred.
The AfD's anti-immigrant rhetoric has won support among Germans worried about the influx of more than a million migrants in the last two years. With polls putting it on 12-15 percent, the AfD is tipped to win seats in the federal parliament for the first time in September's national election.
"Germans are the only people in the world who plant a monument of shame in the heart of the capital," Hoecke, said in a speech to young members of the party in Dresden, the cradle of the anti-Muslim PEGIDA movement.
The Holocaust Memorial, located near the Brandenburg Gate in the heart of Berlin, comprises a large number of grey granite slabs of varying heights, arranged in a grid pattern - a somber reminder of the millions killed during the Holocaust.
Germany's Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said Hoecke's speech had sent shivers down his spine.
"Never, never must we allow ourselves to let the demagogy of a Bjoern Hoecke go unchallenged," he said.
Thomas Oppermann, who heads the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) in the German parliament, told the Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung newspaper that Hoecke had exposed himself as a Nazi.
However, Hoecke said in a statement that any suggestion he had criticised the Holocaust memorial was "a malicious and deliberately denigratory interpretation of what I actually said". He said he had made clear in his comments that the Holocaust was a disgrace and that Germany had a monument to it.
"In my Dresden speech I wanted to ask how we Germans look at our history," he said, adding there were other aspects to German history as well as guilt, such as poets and composers.
"This laughable policy of coming to terms with the past is crippling us. We need a 180 degree turnaround in our policy of memory," Hoecke said, drawing applause from young AfD supporters.
Re-education imposed on Germany after 1945 had largely pulled up Germans' roots, he said. "There were no German victims any more, only German perpetrators," he said.
Diether Dehmn, of the Left party, said he was reporting Hoecke for incitement. He also said Hoecke had been emboldened by a Constitutional Court ruling on Tuesday which rejected a ban on the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD).
Burkhard Lischka, the SPD's domestic policy expert, said Hoecke's remarks revealed a growing radicalization of parts of the AfD and urged Germany's domestic intelligence agency (BfV) to place the nationalist wing of the party under observation.
"The BfV must finally set its sights on the AfD if it does not want to be accused of being blind in the right eye," he told the Rheinische Post newspaper.
Some members of the AfD, which includes moderate conservatives, distanced themselves from Hoecke's comments.
"Mr Hoecke's unilateral approach damages the acceptance of the party among citizens," said senior AfD member Alice Weidel.
Dieter Graumann, a former head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, told Bild daily Hoecke's speech was "outrageous", especially from a politician in a party set to win seats in parliament.


A ferryboat collided with a bridge pillar in Brazil's Amazon region Saturday, causing the span's central roadway to plunge into the Moju River along two cars and cutting a highway to one of the country's busiest ports, authorities said.
The state government said the five crew members on the ferry survived, but it had no information about any victims as about 650 feet (200 meters) of the half-mile (860-meter) bridge collapsed.
Local media reported that a January inspection of the bridge found corrosion problems on the pillars. At the time, the government didn't think the problem was serious enough to close the span, but did request funds for emergency measures, the reports said.
In 2014, a boat collided with a pillar of another bridge in the same bridge complex, causing about 160 feet (50 meters) of the span to collapse.
Civil police were investigating Saturday's accident and looking into whether the ferry was officially registered.

Q: Magento 2 Visual Swatch Image: Background of image is removed after upload This is the image that I upload to display on a visual swatch:

However, it uploads and displays like this:

How do I get the image to upload with the background intact?
You can view the uploaded image here: https://store.gnut.com.au/pub/media/attribute/swatch/swatch_image/30x20/c/r/cream1.png
I intend to increase the swatch size to 90x90px but I'll have to change themes away from Luma first.
Could the uploader be removing the background accidentally due to the small swatch size?

A: After changing all files to a .jpg extension instead of .png the problem went away.

This week in the Succulent Series we take on the glorious and colourful world of Sedum. From ground-covers to full-bodied hanging plants in every colour palette imaginable, there is a Sedum variety that will captivate you.
These fun perennial plants resemble the fondly remembered childhood sweet, and come in as many colours! Fat fleshy bean-like leaves grow from lengthening stems. Jellybeans range in colour from deep green to burnished orange, pale pink to bronze. Their unusual foliage is sought after by collectors of succulents. They make for striking additions to the garden. Bear in mind they will grow to a height of 20cm. Well-draining soil is a necessity. Plant in bright containers, or in sections of the garden that need some interest.
This bright green trailing groundcover is also known as Graveyard Moss. It provides a mass of luminous yellow star shaped blooms when in flower. The stems of this sedum reach lengths of 25cm. Plant this succulent in areas which receive a lot of sun. They will thrive here.
Just to show the diversity of the Sedum genus, here is a variety with a very different growth pattern and structure to the two mentioned above. Named the Coppertone Stonecrop, this golden-leafed succulent grows on a vertical rigid stem. Long triangular Leaves with rounded edges can form in tight clusters, and as the plant becomes taller, so leaves become more sparse on the stem. Small fragrant bright white flowers emerge from yellow stems in summer. Native to Mexico, these succulents are easily propagated by cutting and will send out roots to ground themselves. Planted in large blue ceramic pots, this Sedum makes a striking patio plant.
Sedum groundcover varieties can be used as living carpets in the garden, garnering the attention of beneficial insects. Taller varieties can be used as background plants, with their blooms introducing shades of orange-red, white and gold in the flowering summer months.
Known as Stonecrops, gardeners make light of the fact that the only thing that lives longer than Sedum are stones. They are extremely hardy plants and will thrive where not many other plants will.
The Jellybean and Coppertone Stonecrop varieties will intensify in hue with increased heat and sun exposure. Jellybeans will go more red, and Coppertone will develop deep orange-gold edging around the yellow leaves.

Based on the camp's mission statement and considering our biblical and cultural parameters, the following objectives are viewed as the desired outcomes for those attending Oak Forest Center. They are intentionally displayed in a logical progression from meeting physical needs to training Christian leaders. It should also be understood, however, that not every program at Oak Forest Center is necessarily designed to meet each and every one of these desired outcomes on every occasion.
Our objective is to build relationships with believers and non-believers, opening doors for spiritual development and for their future involvement in the ministry of Oak Forest Center. We desire to create a climate where all guests and staff feel welcome, loved, and nurtured.
Our objective is to share the message of God's saving grace, the forgiveness of sin, and newness of life that is by faith in Jesus Christ with those who attend Oak Forest Center and give opportunities for personal spiritual decisions.


At work we may often hear from the same select colleagues, "I'm so busy today." Well what does that even mean? Who is saying it? Where is it coming from? Everything is contextual.
When I was younger I thought busy people were more important than everyone else. Otherwise why would they be so busy? I had busy bosses, busy parents, and always I just thought they must have really important things to do. It seemed an easy way to see who mattered and who didn't. The busy must matter more, and the lazy mattered less.
This is the cult of busy. That simply by always seeming to have something to do, we all assume you must be important or successful.
It explains the behavior of many people at work. By appearing busy, people bother them less, and simultaneously believe they're doing well at their job. It's quite a trick.
Time is the singular measure of life. It's one of the few things you can not get more of. Knowing how to spend it well is possibly the most important skill you can have.
The person who gets a job done in one hour will seem less busy than the guy who can only do it in five. How busy a person seems is not necessarily indicative of the quality of their results. Someone who is better at something might very well seem less busy, because they are more effective. Results matter more than the time spent to achieve them.
Being in demand can have good and bad causes. Someone with a line of people waiting to talk to them outside their office door at work seems busy, and therefore seems important. But somehow the clerk running the slowest supermarket checkout line in the universe isn't praised in the same way; it means they're ineffective. People who are at the center of everything aren't necessarily good at what they do (although they might be). The bar of being busy falls far well below the bar of being good.
The compulsion to save time may lead nowhere. If you're always cutting corners to save time, when exactly are you using the time you've saved? There is this illusion some day in the future you get back all the time you've squirreled away in one big chunk. I don't think time works this way. For most Americans it seems most of our time savings goes straight into watching television. That's where all the time savings we think we get actually goes.
The phrase "I don't have time for" should never be said. We all get the same amount of time every day. If you can't do something it's not about the quantity of time. It's really about how important the task is to you. I'm sure if you were having a heart attack, you'd magically find time to go to the hospital. That time would come from something else you'd planned to do, but now seems less important. This is how time works all the time. What people really mean when they say "I don't have time" is this thing is not important enough to earn my time. It's a polite way to tell people they're not worth your time.
This means people who are always busy are time poor. They have a time shortage. They have time debt. They are either trying to do too much, or they aren't doing what they're doing very well. They are failing to either a) be effective with their time b) don't know what they're trying to effect, so they scramble away at trying to optimize for everything, which leads to optimizing nothing.
On the other hand, people who truly have control over time have some in their pocket to give to someone in need. They have a sense of priorities that drives their use of time and can shift away from the specific ordinary work that's easy to justify, in favor of the more ethereal, deeper things that are harder to justify. They protect their time from trivia and idiocy. These people are time rich. They provide themselves with a surplus of time. They might seem to idle, or to relax, more often then the rest, but that may be a sign of their mastery not their incompetence.
Interesting. So, with people who appear or claim to be busy, there may be other problems going on with them below the surface. And others who may not appear to be as busy as the former may just necessarily be more effective with time management and prioritizing.
The key isn't necessarily to be busy but be effective.

/**
Provides interfaces for the engine's index system; the API for Ontopia
topic map indexes. This package enables quick retrieval of selected topic
map content; using these interfaces, these facilities can be used without
any dependencies on the repository-specific backend(s) used for managing
the topic map data.

NB that these indexing facilities are likely to be changed, and certain
to be extended, when the Topic Map Query Language standard is available,
so you are advised to design your application code so that the required
changes are easy.

Package Specification

The interfaces in this package provide an API for topic map indexes. Topic
map indexes provide straightforward and efficient ways to look up information
in a topic map; these facilities are frequently used, and would otherwise
require a step by step traversal of the entire topic map.

A typical example is looking up all instances of a given topic type,
which with the index system can be achieved with a single method call.

Each topic map has an IndexManagerIF
instance associated with it. This index manager object can be used to retrieve
specific indexes and also to check what indexes are available, which ones
have been loaded and so on.

The indexes currently available are:

ClassInstanceIndex, which is used
to find information about which objects are instances of specific classes.

LocatorIndex, which is used to find out
which locators are used where.

NameIndex, which is used to find out which
names are used where.

ScopeIndex, which is used to find out where
a topic has been used in a scope.

Related Documentation

The purpose and scope of this package is explained further in the Ontopia
Engine Developers Guide.

Interface Summary

IndexManagerIF is implemented by objects which manage indexes on a topic
map (NB there are currently no facilities for indexing across more than
one topic map.)

IndexIF is the common interface for all topicmap indexes. IndexIF is
extended by ClassInstanceIF, LocatorIndexIF, NameIndexIF, and ScopeIndexIF. These interfaces
have a similar structure; each contains methods that return collections
of topic map objects (eg associations, variant names), selected according
to some criterion.

Doctor Who episode 36: A Desperate Venture (1/8/1964)
Barbara is back, and it looks like she's been making the most of the spaceship's tanning salon during the previous fortnight. She doesn't mess about – while the Doctor and Ian are lost in the tunnels under the city, she organises the rescue mission, commandeers the Sensorites' telepathic transmitters and heads into the caves herself. This all adds a sense of urgency and purpose to this episode that was sorely missing from the last one.
Ian and the Doctor get a bit less to do this week – they're almost a comedy double act (as they were in The Keys of Marinus), with Ian nervously backing away from the insane spacemen as the oblivious Doctor witters on about collecting evidence and chiding Ian: 'Don't interrupt, young boy. It's most irritating.'
They're confronted by a group of astronauts clearly inspired by stories of isolated jungle troops still fighting the Second World War into the 1950s (they repeatedly talk about 'the war with the Sensorites'). Newman's insight into the military means these scenes have a peculiar poignancy and authenticity to them: the commander, still keeping military discipline and talking in clipped tones about 'the men' when he's basically got two desperate followers. It's a fitting end to an adventure that has repeatedly shown the villains to be those incapable of seeing things from another's point of view, or opening their minds to new possibilities. This is in contrast to the heroes, who have a more questioning, less prejudiced perspective, willing to believe the evidence rather than their own assumptions.
Carole Ann Ford also gets a slightly more rewarding part this week, making use of her newfound psychic abilities, and even getting the best line – a description of her home planet that's so hauntingly beautiful it was lifted verbatim by Russell T. Davies. There's also another hint that she's growing apart from her grandfather: while he talks about going home as something to do in the vague and distant future, whereas Susan seems to be tiring of being a wanderer in the fourth dimension: 'Sometimes I feel I'd like to belong somewhere.' I imagine at this point decisions were being made about the cast for the second production block, and writing Susan out. Which means that her departure is more heavily signposted than any other companion in the classic series.
This all contributes to my feeling that The Sensorites is a tipping point. There are references back to the original premise of the show, from the 'mild curiosity in a junkyard' scene in Strangers in Space, and the moment in The Unwilling Warriors where Barbara explains to Carol that she and Ian are trying to get home. Here, Susan tells the First Elder, 'We'll all go home some day' before her final, wistful conversation with the Doctor about settling down. But this is balanced out by the Doctor's obvious enjoyment of his travels, and his offhanded attitude to going home: 'This old ship of mine seems to be an aimless thing. However, we don't worry about it, do we?'. And even Susan isn't in a hurry to stop travelling – the First Elder looks into her mind and perceives, 'You wish to see your home again, and yet there is a part of you which calls for adventure. A wanderlust.' Maybe that odd little scene at the start of Strangers in Space is less a recap, and more a reformatting of the series' ambition: 'It all started out as a mild curiosity in a junkyard, and now it's turned out to be quite a great spirit of adventure.'
The punchline to all this talk of wandering and going home is the Doctor's outraged reaction to Ian's implication that he hasn't got a clue what he's doing, and his threat to put Ian and Barbara off the Ship at its next destination. But by the end of The Sensorites – which, even more than The Aztecs, focuses on the Doctor and relegates the rest of the TARDIS crew to being his companions – it's become perfectly possible to see how this series can continue even if Susan settles down, and Ian and Barbara get home. So long as the Doctor and his old Ship are content to aimlessly travel the cosmos, there's no reason why they can't keep going forever. The mild curiosity in a junkyard was Ian and Barbara's. But the great spirit of adventure is the Doctor's. This is his series now.

Winner of the prestigious Academy of Motion Pictures Nicholl Fellowship, Scott Simonsen is an active member of the WGA and has sold feature lengths pitches and scripts to top producers in Hollywood. "Honor Council" is the second short film he has directed. His first, "Situational", is winding down its festival tour on which it won top honors at over a dozen festivals.
"Honor Council" was winner of Josh Hutcherson and Indigenous Media's Big Script Incubator Project in which five feature film scripts were chosen from the Black List. Each filmmaker was given 20K to make a short based on his or her feature script.
Scott is currently in negotiations on several feature film projects. In addition to filmmaking, he owns a mid sized college prep company and lives in Redondo Beach CA with his awesome son, Kai.


From among ten finalists from around the globe, Kopupaka Park has been selected as World Landscape of the Year 2016 by the jury at the World Architecture Festival in Berlin.
Big congrats for this international award winning project to Isthmus Group who designed the Park and all the partner companies who worked on this project (including Natural Habitats who handled planting, soft landscaping and maintenance).
Kopupaka Park is a 22-hectare landscape made up of five storm water wetlands. Isthmus' designers added a series of timber structures around the edges of three ponds, creating forms that weave their way across the landscape. These provide reed-bed filters, a skate park and planting areas.
The Judges described the project as a successful translation of regional Maori traditions.
"Inspired by woven baskets for catching eel, Isthmus has developed an innovative river-wall system of interlocking timbers," they said.


Marketers are forever seeking fresh challenges and scouting for more and more clientele to be drawn into their sphere of influence. The urban consumer has always been pampered with the most dazzling array of goods and services from every industry. But the urban market is fast shrinking due to saturation caused by competition, and the growth rate over the past few years has consistently shown a declining trend. In the hunt for fresh pastures, the vast and hitherto vastly unexplored terrains of rural India consistently beckon the moolah-seeking marketer.
There are various reasons why every industry is taking a very serious look at rural markets. About 285 million live in urban India whereas 742 million reside in rural areas. Thus 72% of India's population resides in its 6,00,000 villages. The number of middle income and high income households in rural India is expected to growfrom 80 million to 111 million while urban India is expected to grow from 46 million to 59 million. Size of the rural market is estimated to be 42 million households and the rural market has been growing at five times the pace of the urban market. More rural development initiatives are being implemented by the government. Increasing agricultural productivity has led to growth in rural disposable income.
Many companies have already made forays into rural households but still capturing the markets is a distant dream. Most marketers still lack in-depth knowledge to analyse the complex rural market. In the Indian context especially, rural marketing is a complex subject. The prices of rural marketing pose many problems due to the vastness of the country. It is now unanimously accepted that the rural salesmanship in India has been insufficient and inadequate and out of proportion to the agriculture revolution.
The traditional marketing activities of promotion, distribution, sales and servicing, undertaken so far in the urban and semi-urban contexts, are to be extended to cover a much wider area in a rural environment by introducing appropriate innovation, selection and adoption.
The development of the rural market will involve additional cost both in terms of promotion and distribution. In rural marketing, often it is not promotion of a brand that is crucial, but creating an awareness concerning a particular product field, for instance, fertilizers and pesticides. Urban and semi-urban based salesmen are not able to tap the full potential in the villages. The marketers should select and employ the educated unemployed from villages. The past practices of treating rural markets as appendages of the urban market is not correct, since rural markets have their own independent existence, and if cultivated well could turn into a generator of profit for the marketers.
out this mission. The salesmen in rural markets should be selected from the educated unemployed villagers and trained well. The town-to-villages shuttling salesmen are to be replaced by the stationary salesman in villages. Companies should also adequately concentrate on educating the villagers to save them from spurious goods and services. Rural markets are laggards in picking up new products. This will help the companies to phase their marketing efforts.
In this respect, it makes sense for non-competitive companies to make a joint effort to penetrate the market. They can use each other's distribution channels to leverage their brands. Also considering the poor awareness levels of the people, competitors should join hands to avoid product proliferation, which results in confusing the consumer. Rural consumers have a very high level of ethos so all the care should be taken not to hurt them in any form of advertising. Moreover, every effort should be made by the companies to promote the "my brand" feel in the minds of consumers. This can be achieved by connecting the local industries of that place and, if possible, use it in packaging or graphics of the product. So the need of the hour is the integration of all the above-stated approaches and constantly reinventing the products and bringing new innovations.
Q1. Which of the following best explains the sentence 'Rural markets are laggards in picking up new products', as used in the passage?
Q2. Which of the following is/are the problem/s faced by marketers in the rural area?
(A) Higher price of rural marketing.
(B) Problems in analysing rural markets due to their complexities.
Q3. What, according to the author, can be done to promote the 'my brand' feeling in the minds of rural consumers?
(a) Use local artists in advertisements related to the media.
(b) Give the product a local name so that it sells better.
(c) Advertise about the product in the local language alone.
(d) Involve local industries and use them for graphics or packaging.
Q4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE in the context of the passage?
(a) Growth rate of the urban market is on the wane.
(b) As compared to urban areas, a higher proportion of India's population resides in villages.
(c) The spending capacity of rural people has not shown any change in the past years.
(d) The expected number of middle income and high income households in rural areas is greater than those of the urban areas.
Q5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
(a) At present no company is catering to the rural market.
(b) Marketing activities used in the urban and semi-urban context can be used as is in the rural context as well.
(c) The rural markets can be treated as extensions of the urban markets.
(d) In rural markets creating awareness about a product takes precedence over promoting a brand.
Q6. Which of the following is the author's suggestion for appointing the salesmen for rural markets?
(a) The town-to-villages shuttling salesmen may be persuaded to relocate to villages, thereby making them stationary.
(b) The urban and semi-urban based salesmen may be appointed but should be given adequate training to get them acquainted with rural problems.
(c) The educated unemployed villagers may be trained and employed as salesmen rather than appointing salesmen from towns.
(d) The salesmen chosen for marketing in the rural areas may be a mix of urban. semi-urban and rural salesmen.
Q7. What role, according to the author, can the non-competitive companies play in terms of rural marketing?
(a) Provide training to salesmen on the uniqueness of the rural market through joint efforts.
(b) Use each other's distribution channels through joint efforts and raise awareness amongst the rural folk.
(c) Conduct awareness camps and workshops about their products in villages through joint efforts.
(d) Attract more companies to invest in the rural markets.
(e) Start competing with each other in order to increase product proliferation, there-by providing more options to villagers.

I'm very proud to have been selected as a finalist of the Art of Building 2016 photography competition. Thousands of photographs have been submitted from every corner of the globe and I need your help. A panel of expert judges have shortlisted 15 entries, and one of these entries is my picture named 'Control'.
Would you mind clicking on the link below and leave your vote?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Feel free to share this message.
Hi, I saw your photo of this abandoned control room on the BBC website and I was stunned. Very beautiful. I went to your website to know a bit more about the place and discovered it was for supplying power to a city. I was curious to know at least in which country it is, and possibly the city too? I work in IT and we have control rooms but they are not as beautiful as this one.
Hi, Just saw your posting on Facebook where you answer my questions. thanks. I'll share it with my friends.
You're very welcome. Thank you too!
Congratulations on reaching the final ! Good luck !
