1. Venice: Murano, Burano and Torcello Islands Full-Day Trip
Discover the most charming and famous islands of the Venetian Lagoon on this full-day excursion. Marvel at the beautiful surroundings of Venice and learn more about Venetian life and traditions. Start your journey in a comfortable motorboat leaving from the St. Mark's area, and move toward your first stop, the island of Murano. Stay for approximately 1.5 hours on the island and take your time to explore it on your own. Visit a glass factory and learn how glass masters create their masterpieces with a glass-blowing demonstration. Don't miss the massive Basilica of Santi Maria e Donato, one of the oldest Churches in the Venetian lagoon originally built in the 7th Century. Return to the motorboat and head to Burano Island. Immerse yourself in its quaint and colorful houses for around 2 hours. According to a local legend, Burano gets its rainbow appearance from the fishermen who painted their houses in bright colors to find their way home when returning from sea. The island is also known internationally for its rare artisan lace. Hop back on the motorboat, and ride to the last stop, Torcello, the first settlement in the Venetian Lagoon. During your 1-hour unguided stop, be sure to visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, founded in 639. Take a selfie with Attila's Throne in the background, an ancient stone chair where chief magistrates were inaugurated, or go up the Bell Tower and take a beautiful picture of the surrounding area. At the end of the tour, ride back to the point of departure.
2. Murano: Glass Factory Experience with Tour and Demonstration
After you make your way to the island of Murano you'll meet a tour provider's representative at the Murano Faro boat station and head off on this 40-minute Murano glass experience. After a short walk you'll reach the glass factory where a glass master will be waiting for you. A factory guide will welcome you and explain about the processes involved in glass production. The master will create an object using the blowing technique. Then, during a sculpture technique demonstration you will see how glass animals are made. The visit will continue in the shop/gallery where you can admire products made in the glass factory, including chandeliers, sculptures and an array of jewelry. You will receive a €5 discount on any purchase.
3. Venice: Half-Day Trip to Murano and Burano
Climb aboard a comfortable motorboat for a half-day trip around the Venetian islands of Murano and Burano, and discover a more local and authentic side to Venice. Depart from a pier close to St. Mark's Square for a convenient crossing to Murano. Cross the lagoon to the "Island of Glass" as you hear fascinating stories about the city. On landing, go to one of the famous glass factories to see how the colorful glass ware is blown. Alternatively, stroll the quiet streets of the island at leisure.

4. Venice: Murano Glassblowing & Burano Lacemaking Tour by Boat
Escape the crowds of central Venice and catch a glimpse of what life in the city used to be like, as an island of artisans famous for their traditional craft skills, passed down from generation to generation. Your guide will keep you entertained on the short boat ride to the small island of Murano, famous for its glass making traditions. Historically, Murano glassblowers were the only Europeans that knew how to create a mirror, and their skills were so valued they were banned from leaving Venice on the threat of execution. Watch a craftsman in action and listen to a description of the process in English. Learn how silica sand becomes glass, and how the glass is given color. Afterwards, there will be time to browse the huge collection of glass art, and wander the island on your own. Back on the boat, cruise to the tiny island of Burano to see the brightly-painted houses huddled tightly together along streets and canals. Burano's main claim to fame is its centuries-old lacemaking tradition. Stroll through the streets to a small building where women feverishly stitch lace, just as their mothers and grandmothers used to do. Your guide will explain the process of this dying art. Then, you can follow in the footsteps of Michelangelo and pick out your own keepsake. Or, wander the winding streets, sampling delicious cookies at local bakeries. Unlike other tours, this excursion intentionally omits Torcello to provide you with more time on Murano and Burano, and with less time on the boat or trekking inland.

Upon arrival, take a short walk to a glass factory, where a glass master will demonstrate the art of glass blowing to create a unique piece. Watch as he makes a 2nd piece using sculpture techniques. Then go to a mosaic or glass beads jewelry workshop to create your own piece from scratch. Work with glass elements of different shapes and colors to make a unique ornament or pendant.

Step into one of the oldest glass factories in the world, active since 1295, and get an authentic look at lampwork and how tradition is combined with contemporary design and creativity. Far from being stuck in the past, glass making still runs in the veins of the inhabitants of the island: experience first-hand one of the oldest techniques ─ lampwork ─ thanks to a workshop run by a local artist. With an artist as your guide, walk through the secrets of this work and join a workshop where you can learn to make your own Venetian bead, taking part in keeping alive a 17th-century artistic practice (price per person is €30 to be paid on-site).

Revolution is a phenomenon that has haunted the pages of history, whether as reality or as a Spectre conjured up by Karl Marx. Of late it has traveled far and wide, and Fred Halliday has followed it to far-off places - Cuba, southern Arabia, Iran - in the quest of history in the making. Among the many revealing points he takes note of are the names that men have given to it (pp.
Peter Russell's Henry 'the Navigator' is one of those rare books which has had classic, or rather legendary, status even before it was published.
Recent studies in Latin American history have increasingly rejected the periodisation inherited in the traditional historiography. In other words, the notion that the Wars of Independence (c. 1810 - c. 1825) represented a clear break with the colonial past has become both questioned and contested.
This volume is a collection of seven essays on Latin America by James Dunkerley, all written and published separately between 1992 and 1999. The most immediate question posed, given the wide and varied range in topic covered and in approach (no two essays being alike), is both how the essays work individually and, more pertinently, how coherently they hang together.
NB. This review has been translated from the Spanish by Natalie Sobrevilla.
One of the strengths of the recent historiography of the First World War has been the shift in focus away from the Western Front towards a broader understanding of the conflict as a world war.

Q: ASP.NET MVC 4 - Proper way to respond in HTML, JSON, or XML What is the correct way to have my Index() method return content based on the incoming accept/content-type headers.
I currently have an application I am trying to refactor that has an Index() method and a JsonData() method. The browser pulls this "index" page and then via Ajax requests the /jsondata URL. I would like to put both under Index() and change the response types depending on the incoming request. What is the correct way to do this under MVC 4?
Note: we are not using Web API.

A: You have several options here.
First - differentiate your requests by their verbs, and have a convention, such as all GETs receive html, while all POSTs receive json.  Controller will look like this:
[HttpGet]
[ActionName("Index")]
public ActionResult IndexGet()
{
    return View();
}

[HttpPost]
[ActionName("Index")]
public ActionResult IndexPost()
{
    return Json();
}

And of course its a client-side matter to make a request with correct method. Update - verbs only won't be enough here - to keep one action name you should also make use of ActionName attribute. thanks to Joe Enos for pointing that out.
Second - introduce a parameter. Say by default you are sending html, but if ajax call appends a parameter isJson - give it json response:
public ActionResult Index(bool? isJson)
{
    if (isJson.HasValue && isJson.Value)
    {
        return Json();
    }

    return View();
}

Third - differentiate request by the mechanism behind them. In your case it seems that all ajax calls, and only them, should be served by json. Then you can use Request.IsAjaxRequest() method:
public ActionResult Index()
{
    if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
    {
        return Json();
    }

    return View();
}

And of course it is possible to combine these methods - say send json response only to POST requests by ajax.

A: May try to resolve this with request AcceptTypes?
 public ActionResult Index()
        {
            if (Request.AcceptTypes.Contains("application/json"))
            {
                //
            }
            else
            {

            }
            return View();
        }

Happy Easter – hope you are enjoying a beautiful Easter Weekend. Easter is one of my favourite times of the year. Somehow it just seems slower and there's a beautiful reverence about. I like it's hushed tones. It get's colder around these parts too – the weather itself seems to quiet things down- raining here all weekend but then how often is Easter Sunday – like yesterday – a sparkling, glorious, resplendent day that shouts the resurrection of Christ, that celebrates His life and goodness and reminds us we have not been left alone – that we are not forsaken.
Yesterday we were so happy to witness a friend's beautiful girl get water baptised. Such a perfect day for it.
And yes thats my boy fully clothed in the water – (not quite as murky as it looks in the photo) front and centre so as not to miss a thing !!
So now to my favourite things from March.
Soft and Succulent – I loooove a pretty succulent, they would be my favourite things to grow in pots. My sister Jen has a way of planting them up in such lovely ways – here's a few photos – so eye catching.
My next post – coming soon – A Room with A View – on creating some lovely things to look at when you feel surrounded by lots of not so lovely things to look at.
I am officially having blog envy! What a beautiful blog you have! I'm so excited to dig in more! Thanks for leaving the comment at simple home managing, we are certainly kindred spirits!
Jennifer – thank you so much – oh you have done my heart good !!


Eyes are windows to the soul. Lips are always getting kissed. And heart is basically everything! But what about feet?
Even though feet are not the most glamorous part of the body, they are basically heroes of the body because they carry us 8,000 to 10,000 step a day and more than 100,000 miles over the course of a lifetime (technically that's four times around the world.) And since Knit-Rite/Therafim makes socks for all the feet – here's are some incredibly interesting facts you probably don't even know. Thank you HEELTHATPAIN website for the sources.
A human foot and ankle is a strong, mechanical structure that contain 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Toes can sometimes surgically replace lost thumbs. You heard that right! While it might sound bizarre, the surgery s fairly common and quite successful. Once the transplanted big toe is attached to the hand, it allows people to regain all the benefits of the lost thumb and they can do basically everything without big issues.
Has anyone told you that your toes smell like stinky cheese? Well, Foot cheese is an actual thing because it is totally possible to make actual cheese with bacteria from foot sweat. In 2013, Ireland held a Foot Cheese Exhibition that featured several varieties of foot cheese, as well as varieties that evolved from belly buttons and armpits. Yuck!
Toe wrestling is a competitive sport. This sport has been thriving in several countries since 1970. In this sport, opponents attempt to pin and hold down their opponents bare toes for three seconds. And best two out of three rounds, wins!!
Did you know that there is a phobia of feet? Yep, and it is called podophobia! Many people with this phobia can have an extreme revulsion to the sight of feet. They are also upset by talking about feet, reading about it or even touching their own feet. In some cases, podophobia can have a damaging effect on an individual's health if it impacts someone ability to put on or remove socks and shoes, or properly wash the feet. This all can lead to infections or other serious problems.
The longest toenails are 6 inches long! Luise Hollis from California holds the current world record for longest toenails in the world. Each toenail is approximately 6 inches long and requires a full two day of care and grooming each week. Now, that's some serious foot love.
Finally, did you know that there are more than five different generally-recognized foot types? There's a The Peasant foot, The structural Flat foot, The Egyptian Foot, The Greek Foot and a few others. Many people believe that it is possible to describe your personality by determining the shape of your foot! See for yourself!
Doesn't that make you love your feet just a tad more? LOL! I don't have feet – so I'll never know!

FBI turns animal cruelty into top-tier felony
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/2bfc9938446541318a0af0b1fd97c205/fbi-turns-animal-cruelty-top-tier-felony
By SUE MANNING
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Young people who torture and kill animals are prone to violence against people later in life if it goes unchecked,
studies have shown. A new federal category for animal cruelty crimes will help root out those pet abusers before their behavior worsens and give a boost to prosecutions, an animal welfare group says.
For years, the FBI has filed animal abuse under the label "other" along with a variety of lesser crimes, making cruelty hard to find,
hard to count and hard to track. The bureau announced this month that it would make animal cruelty a Group A felony with its own category
— the same way crimes like homicide, arson and assault are listed.
"It will help get better sentences, sway juries and make for better plea bargains," said Madeline Bernstein,
president and CEO of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles and a former New York prosecutor.
The category also will help identify young offenders, and a defendant might realize "if he gets help now,
he won't turn into Jeffrey Dahmer," she said.
Law enforcement agencies will have to report incidents and arrests in four areas: simple or gross neglect;
intentional abuse and torture; organized abuse, including dogfighting and cockfighting; and animal sexual abuse,
the FBI said in statement. The bureau didn't answer questions beyond a short statement.
"The immediate benefit is it will be in front of law enforcement every month when they have to do their crime reports," said John Thompson,
interim executive director of the National Sheriffs' Association who worked to get the new animal cruelty category instituted.
"That's something we have never seen."
Officers will start to see the data are facts and "not just somebody saying the 'Son of Sam' killed animals before he went to human victims and 70-some percent of the school shooters abused animals prior to doing their acts before people," said Thompson, a retired assistant sheriff from Prince George's County, Maryland.
FBI studies show that serial killers like Dahmer impaled the heads of dogs, frogs and cats on sticks;
David Berkowitz, known as the "Son of Sam," poisoned his mother's parakeet; and Albert DeSalvo,
aka the "Boston Strangler," trapped cats and dogs in wooden crates and killed them by shooting arrows through the boxes.
It will take time and money to update FBI and law enforcement databases nationwide, revise manuals and send out guidelines,
Thompson said, so there won't be any data collected until January 2016. After that, it will take several months before there are numbers to analyze.
The new animal cruelty statistics will allow police and counselors to work with children who show early signs of trouble,
so a preschooler hurting animals today isn't going to be hurting a person two years from now, Bernstein said.
The FBI's category will track crimes nationwide and is bound to give animal cruelty laws in all 50 states more clout.
Many states are seeing more of those convicted of animal cruelty being sentenced to prison, in marked contrast to years past.
Whether talking about state laws or the FBI change, it is clear "that regardless of whether people care about how animals are treated,
people — like legislators and judges — care about humans, and they can't deny the data," said Natasha Dolezal,
director of the animal law program in the Center for Animal Law Studies at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
A first look at the FBI's animal cruelty statistics will be available next year, but it will take three to five years for the data to begin showing helpful patterns.
It was more than 10 years ago that Mary Lou Randour realized she couldn't answer what should have been a simple question: Was cruelty against animals on the rise or in decline? After a years-long lobbying effort, in 2014, the FBI agreed. And this year will be the first time it collects data on animal crimes the way it does for other serious crimes like homicide.

FBI Rolling Out A Plan To Track Worst Animal Cruelty Cases

Tracking Animal Cruelty
FBI Collecting Data on Crimes Against Animals
https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2016/february/tracking-animal-cruelty
Acts of cruelty against animals are now counted alongside felony crimes like arson, burglary, assault, and homicide in the FBI's expansive criminal database. On January 1, the Bureau's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) began collecting detailed data from participating law enforcement agencies on acts of animal cruelty, including gross neglect, torture, organized abuse, and sexual abuse. Before this year, crimes that involved animals were lumped into an "All Other Offenses" category in the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program's annual Crime in the United States report, a survey of crime data provided by about 18,000 city, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies.By adding animal cruelty offenses to NIBRS, law enforcement agencies and the advocacy groups that pushed for the inclusion in the FBI database are hoping the results will reveal a more complete picture of the nature of cruelty to animals. "Some studies say that cruelty to animals is a precursor to larger crime," said Nelson Ferry, who works in the Bureau's Criminal Statistics Management Unit, which manages NIBRS. "That's one of the items that we're looking at."The National Sheriffs' Association was a leading advocate for adding animal cruelty as a data set in the Bureau's collection of crime statistics. The association for years has cited studies linking animal abuse and other types of crimes—most famously, murders committed by serial killers like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the "Son of Sam" killer David Berkowitz. The organization also points out the overlap animal abuse has with domestic violence and child abuse."If somebody is harming an animal, there is a good chance they also are hurting a human," said John Thompson, deputy executive director of the National Sheriffs' Association. "If we see patterns of animal abuse, the odds are that something else is going on." A first look at NIBRS animal cruelty statistics will be available next year, but it will take at least three to five years for the data to begin showing helpful patterns. Groups that advocated for the new animal cruelty data hope that by adding it to NIBRS—rather than the summary-based statistics agencies provide the Bureau each year—they will get a much richer data set from which to mine. That's because NIBRS requires participating agencies to not only report crimes but also all the circumstances of a crime. Additionally, the Bureau plans to phase out summary-based UCR statistics—which have been collected roughly the same way since 1930—in favor of NIBRS by 2021."With summary data, all I can tell you is a crime occurred," said Amy Blasher, who is leading the broader transition to NIBRS at the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division, keeper of the Bureau's various crime data stores. "With the incident-based, it's more granular. It tells the story."The move to collect more granular data requires agencies to adjust how they track and disseminate crime statistics. Only about 31 percent of the country is represented in NIBRS today—a fraction of the overall UCR participants; however, Blasher anticipates the figure to grow larger as law enforcement agencies opt in, including police departments in Washington, D.C. and Chicago over the next two years. The FBI is aggressively pushing for the transition to NIBRS. In a speech last March in Atlanta, FBI Director James Comey said it was his personal mission to get better data "that we can all use to have informed conversations about the most important issues we face."Those who lobbied for better animal abuse data would agree. "With this information, law enforcement and victim services would be able to better target their intervention efforts with respect to both animal cruelty and those crimes for which animal cruelty serves as a marker," said Dr. Mary Lou Randour of the Animal Welfare Institute, which worked closely with the National Sheriffs' Association to advance their cause. "Identifying and analyzing animal cruelty crimes would provide an important tool for law enforcement." The National Sheriffs' Association's John Thompson urged people to shed the mindset that animal cruelty is a crime only against animals. "It's a crime against society," he said, urging all law enforcement agencies to participate in NIBRS. "By paying attention to [these crimes], we are benefiting all of society."

✴Section 2— Clarification to Policy and Procedures
National UCR Program to begin collecting data on animal
Beginning January 1, 2016, the national UCR Program will add the offense of Animal Cruelty to the NIBRS as a Group A offense and as a Crime Against Society.
Data Element 12 (Type Criminal Activity/Gang Information) will expand to include four data values about the type of abuse. The four types of abuse will be:
 Simple/Gross Neglect (failure to provide food, water, shelter, veterinary care, or intentionally or knowingly withholding food or water)
 Intentional Abuse and Torture
 Organized Abuse (dog fighting and cock fighting)
 Animal Sexual Abuse (bestiality).
The definition of Animal Cruelty will be:
Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly taking an action that mistreats or kills any animal without just cause, such as torturing, tormenting, mutilation, maiming, poisoning, or abandonment. Included are instances of duty to provide care, e.g., shelter, food, water, care if sick or injured; transporting or confining an animal in a manner likely to cause injury or death; causing an animal to fight with another; inflicting excessive or repeated unnecessary pain or suffering, e.g., uses objects to beat or torture an animal. This definition does not include proper maintenance of animals for show or sport; use of animals for food, lawful hunting, fishing, or trapping.
The national UCR Program staff will implement these changes to the NIBRS during the 2015 calendar year and will begin to collect these data on January 1, 2016.
Agencies with questions should contact Ms. Drema Fouch in the CSMU's Programs Development Group. You can reach her by telephone at (304) 625-2982 or by e-mail at <drema.fouch@ic.fbi.gov>.
Quality Assurance Review guidelines for policy changes and data enhancements
In the past several years, both the Summary Reporting System (SRS) and the NIBRS have undergone several changes:
 Expanded location and property data values in the NIBRS
 Revised definition of rape in the SRS
 Began the collection of cargo theft data and human trafficking data in both the SRS and the NIBRS.

CVS to sell CBD-infused topical products in 800 stores across 8 states
Category: #retail By Paroma Bhattacharya Date: 2019-03-23
CVS has partnered with cannabis producers to infuse CBD and sell topical products like roll-ons, lotions, creams, slaves and sprays.
CVS pharmacy has announced that it would sell hemp-derived CBD products, or products with cannabidiol, which is non-psychoactive component of marijuana, in about 800 stores in states including Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, California, Maryland, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. CVS has partnered with cannabis producers to infuse CBD and sell topical products like roll-ons, lotions, creams, slaves and sprays.
As per reported by WFLA TV, CVS stated that it is not selling CBD containing food additives or supplements as it is illegal to add drugs like CBD in food supply. CBD is derived from cannabis plant and is non-psychoactive. So far, there is no approval of Food and Drug Administration to use CBD in food or beverage products.
CVS Health CEO, Larry Merlo reportedly quoted stating that they have feedbacks from their customers that these products are relieving them from pain for arthritis and other ailments. He further added that they will keep their pace slow, but they think that customer will demand more for these products as a part of health offerings.
Cannabis species hemp has no psychoactive compounds that can cause user to get high, like marijuana. Hemp is not a controlled substance now so there are more business opportunities in creating hemp-based products like tinctures and lotions. There are a lot many ways to use CBD but studies on CBD are limited yet.
Reportedly, CVS stated that they are not claiming a 'cure-all' product as effectiveness may vary from product to product.
According to experts, CBD has been used for treatment of inflammation, pain, anxiety and cancer. Epidiolex is the only FDA approved CBD oil which is prescribed to treat seizures related with two rare, severe forms of epilepsy.
CVS has collaborated with Eurofins, which is a third-party laboratory, to ensure labeling and safety of customers. They will test all CBD topicals for CBD, THC content and other contaminants.

Police at CU Boulder have been asking help from the public in identifying a thief who has been stealing laptops and other computer equipment from the engineering department on campus. The main suspect was recently spotted on a surveillance camera, which can be seen here, and anyone who is able to identify this person is urged to contact authorities.
Investigators have stated that this specific suspect is a 5'11", slender framed male who appears to be in his early 30's. They also assume this individual is Black, however the man's ethnicity is unknown.
Since the last theft has occurred, students and faculty have noticed that other laptops and computer equipment has gone missing from both the engineering building as well as the chemistry building. Authorities urge students and faculty to register their laptops and equipment to not only help prevent further theft, but to help track anything else that is stolen.
At The Clark Law Firm, we understand that school is already hard enough without complications arising from theft. We also understand that at times, the law can make mistakes and be unforgiving in their mistakes. Which is why if you need legal help for students, you should be sure to contact Phil Clark immediately. He is an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney who knows what needs to be done in order to help mitigate any potential problems that may arise.

Vote-rigging election officials and Cleveland councilmen have lost their outlaw minds
by Eric Jonathan Brewer
CRIME/ELECTIONS/NEWS
CLEVELAND, OH – Personal self-motivation is one thing. Abusing a public office under the "color of law" to enrich oneself right in front of the public and other officials like everyone is stupid is another.
What's not "off" the ballot for March 17, 2020 is an Issue 6 pay raise for Cleveland city council that's tied to the highest percentage municipal legislators vote to give the city's public employee "unions." Democracy at its "anarchist" finest. Budget-protecting lawmakers so greedy they've created a motivation for employee unions to demand even more money from negotiating mayors in wages for more senior employees, layoffs for younger workers, service cuts and tax and fee increases. Vote No on that Issue 6 bullshit.
What's "allegedly" off the ballot "the color of law co-conspirators think" are the Issue 3 and 4 initiatives to reduce the number of council members from 17 to 9; and shrink wages to $58,000 and terms to two years. Clevelanders will vote but the votes won't be counted.
All this is from an individual operating outside the authority of an elections official named Mike West. He claims the following is a ruling from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections that is not in the records of any public meeting.
"The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections has been officially notified by the City of Cleveland that the parties who placed Issues 3 and 4 of the March 17, 2020 Presidential Primary ballot have withdrawn their proposed Charter Amendments."
If he were performing an election official's duties West would know his first sentence is a lie since individuals circulating intitiative petitions have no authority to ask the legislative authority of a municipal corporation to withdraw them. West and the board's duty was to ensure Ritter and Cleveland's legislative authority did not obstruct R.C. 3519.08(A) and the petition committee's duty to direct their request to the Secretary of State.
"Notwithstanding division (I)(2) of section 3501.38 of the Revised Code, at any time prior to the seventieth day before the day of an election at which an initiative or referendum is scheduled to appear on the ballot, a majority of the members of the committee named to represent the petitioners in the petition proposing that initiative or referendum under section 3519.02 of the Revised Code may withdraw the petition by giving written notice of the withdrawal to the secretary of state."
West should have known from the language in his own news release that what he was falsely claiming was an official announcement from the city of Cleveland was really an act of criminal obstruction of the performance of the Secretary of State's duties. Reminding himself to perform only the duties of the office would have instructed him that he was engaged in "misconduct" with the officials who'd instructed him to write the news release. As a board employee West would have been directed by director Anthony Perlatta to craft the conspiratorial and criminally-obstructive false public announcement.
What's publicly-known is that Bill Ritter failed to give written notice to the Secretary of State prior to the 70th day before the March 17, 2020 primary election. If the petition circulator intended to comply with R.C. 3519.08(A) he would have withdrawn with a written request to the state elections official prior to January 7, 2020 as required by general election laws for municipal corporations found in R.C. 731.
Section 15 of Cleveland's charter clearly affirms that in addition to its instructions, the general laws of the state apply when it comes to local elections. Two sections of Ohio law guide municipal elections. R.C. 731 and Title 35. Section 15's language is below and readers should observe the last sentence's instructions to council is to enact ordinances "against corrupt practices."
"All elections provided for by this Charter, whether for the choice of officers or the submission of questions to the voters, shall be conducted by the election authorities prescribed by general law of the State; and the provisions of the general election laws of the State shall apply to all the elections except as provision is otherwise made by this Charter, and except further that the Council may, by ordinance, provide measures to promote and insure the purity and integrity of the ballot, and against corrupt practices in elections. (Effective November 4, 2008) "
At some point a story written by Cleveland Scene's Sam Allard reveals Ritter appears to have learned he'd failed to perform the duties of a petition circulator when he missed the prior to the 70th day before the election withdrawal deadline by 24 days. Instead of living within the limits of R.C. 3519.08(A), Ritter appears to have held secret meetings with Kelly and others to concoct a scheme to obstruct it.
The only official Bill Ritter can ask to withdraw the petitions to shrink council is the Secretary of State.
On February 7, 2020 Kelly, a "think he slick" criminal, introduced Resolution 197-2020 as an "emergency ordinance" to "repeal Ord. No. 41-2020 passed January 6, 2020 authorizing submission to the electors of the City of Cleveland of an initiative petition proposing to amend the Charter of the City of Cleveland by amending Section 27, relating to salary and attendance of Council members; and to repeal Ordinance No. 42-2020, passed January 6, 2020, authorizing the submission to the electors of the City of Cleveland of an initiative petition proposing to amend the Charter of the City of Cleveland by amending Sections 25 and 25-1, relating to dividing the City into wards and reapportionment of wards."
The problems with Kelly's "single emergency ordinance" are numerous. He should have enacted two separate ordinances to deal with each charter issue as "one subject" separate. Clevelanders would think Kelly's years on council, as president, as an attorney advised by well-paid "consultants" he'd know not to violate R.C. 731.19. "Subject and admendments of bylaws, ordinances and resolutions." He must have earned his degree in crime from "How to Get Busted in Politics 101."
"No ordinance, resolution, or bylaw shall contain more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in its title. No bylaw or ordinance, or section thereof, shall be revived or amended, unless the new bylaw or ordinance contains the entire bylaw, ordinance, or section revived or amended, and the bylaw, ordinance, or section so amended shall be repealed. Each such bylaw, resolution, and ordinance shall be adopted or passed by a separate vote of the legislative authority of a municipal corporation and the yeas and nays shall be entered upon the journal."
This omission is just further evidence of a corrupt practice in violation of Section 15 of the Charter. What it really does is show Kelly's in a hurry "color of law" criminal state of mind. It also drags election board officials into felony "Misconduct" violations of R.C. 3599.16.
Misconduct of member, director, or employee of board of elections – dismissal. No member, director, or employee of a board of elections shall: (A) Willfully or negligently violate or neglect to perform any duty imposed upon him by law, or willfully perform or neglect to perform it in such a way as to hinder the objects of the law, or willfully disobey any law incumbent upon him so to do; (B) Willfully or knowingly report as genuine a false or fraudulent signature on a petition or registration form, or willfully or knowingly report as false or fraudulent any such genuine signature; (C) Willfully add to or subtract from the votes actually cast at an election in any official returns, or add to or take away or attempt to add to or take away any ballot from those legally polled at such election; (D) Carry away, destroy, or mutilate any registration cards or forms, pollbooks, or other records of any election; (E) Act as an election official in any capacity in an election, except as specifically authorized in his official capacity; (F) In any other way willfully and knowingly or unlawfully violate or seek to prevent the enforcement of any other provisions of the election laws. Whoever violates this section shall be dismissed from his position as a member or employee of the board and is guilty of a felony of the fourth degree. Effective Date: 01-01-1983 .
Kelly misused the authority of the council president to introduce his emergency ordinance as a special "white privilege" to Ritters' unlawful and obstructive request to the legislative authority instead of the Secretary of State on February 7, 2020, but the City Record didn't show it being passed on February 7th. West's announcement from a "statutory elections authority under Ohio laws" is dated February 11th.
The legislative authority of the municipal corporation of Cleveland doesn't have a "regular" meeting scheduled for February 17th. The election board's next meeting is February 19th. It's last meeting was January 22nd and nine days before Ritter's "planned" withdrawal request announcement.
So there can be no official communication from Cleveland to the elections board that an ordinance which hasn't been voted on might be voted on if the next regular meeting is February 24th; and could still be pulled from consideration after a legal review.
Even if a council meeting is scheduled for February 24th, and if Kelly's legislation passes, it still conflicts with West's February 11th announcement that council or some official "officially" withdrew the petitions. Mayor Frank Jackson would still retain veto authority. Voters still have a 30-day window for a referendum to overturn any legislation a city council on all legislation any council enacts by law.
In order for Kelly's emergency withdrawal ordinance to be the "sure deal" West's news release implies means a lot of officials are ignoring the duties of the public offices they hold. All this for one dumb deadline-missing white male who thinks he deserves a special privilege.
The emergency legislation might pass and it might not; and it really should not if council obeys Section 36 of the charter and its instructions on what constitutes an emergency and what does not.
"Emergency Measures. An emergency measure is an ordinance or resolution for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health, or safety, or providing for the usual daily operation of a Municipal department, in which the emergency is set forth and defined in a preamble. … no measure making a grant, renewal or extension of a franchise or other special privilege, or regulating the rate to be charged for its services by any public utility, shall ever be so passed. (Effective November 4, 2008)"
Emergency ordinances are for "the people's" benefit and not a criminal co-conspiring scumbag like Ritter looking for a special privilege. The emergency has to be defined in one of the categories above and it can't be for the purpose of criminally obstructing an election that's going to affect council's wages, benefits and terms in office. 99 percent of the emergency ordinances council enacts violate the charter and Ohio laws. More Kelly obstruction.
There's another general law nuance Kelly opens with his, Ritter and the election board's criminal scheme. Even if council withdraws the ordinance Cleveland voters have a right to a referendum on council's withdrawal to keep the election on the ballot. That's in addition to a legal challenge on whether or not the language of Kelly's ordinance constitute's an emergency.
The Supreme Court affirmed in a previous election that Kevin Kelly engaged in un-American activities to obstruct it; and that this unprosecuted criminal exceeded the authority of the public office he holds. It's a shame Cleveland's Black American political leadership is so spinelessly weak that they let a racist lead them against the interests of their own people. Just look at these despicable sellouts standing with and behind Kelly against Americans with rights to votes.
Ohio's courts have consistently instructed the state's elections board that council's or legislative authority's must obey emergency ordinance enactment laws in elections. West's "criminal tool" news release claims the elections board's decision is based on an ordinance that hasn't even passed. .
There is no connection to Ritter's request and "the public peace, health or safety" that would give Cleveland electors "a meaningful opportunity to determine" whether "their representatives did have valid reasons for the necessity of declaring that the ordinance was an emergency." State ex rel. Moore v. Abrams, 62 Ohio St.3d 130, 580 N.E.2d 11 (1991),
Kevin Kelly's consciousness doesn't allow him to assimilate his conduct into obeying the laws of the nation, state, city, and the duties of his public office, even if he's a well-educated attorney trained under a Code of Professional Conduct. Laws and ethics don't matter as he culturally sees them as being in the way of his personal goals. Even the law firm that employs him, Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur, was sued for malpractice by a Russian client who just happens to be the son of an executed Russian spy. His treatment of Americans living in Cleveland is clearly un-American.
How, also, did West get information that's inconsistent with the most current public records between two public agencies, but through some "secret" and "backdoor" communication in violation of laws declaring the public's business is required to be conducted in open meetings?
What open meeting process, as West has claimed, did the elections board rule on a matter that its public records don't show a meeting was scheduled to discuss between the January 31st date of Ritter's news conference and the February 11th date of the election official's news release?
These are the convolution of general laws and conflicts the state resolved with general law R.C. 3519.08(A) that instructed Ritter to send his written request to the secretary of state prior to the 70th day before the election. If Kelly's culpable state of mind wasn't with criminal intent his "lawyer mind" might tell him to look at the other side of his intended and now demonstratedly-proven criminal acts.
Un-American members of the Cuyahoga county board of elections criminally violated Title 35's "misconduct" laws by operating as trial tribunals and issuing legal opinions instead of applying all of Title 35's statutes as they are written; and as they are required to do by law. Joan Synenberg's campaign finance violations are easily visible but like Judge John O'Donnell, she wasn't referred to the Ohio Elections Commission or the county prosecution like Mitchell Paul. O'Donnell didn't file a campaign report for 12 years after running twice and holding office twice as a judge. This is how corrupt Cuyahoga county elections officials steal elections.
It's already been well-settled by the Supreme Court of Ohio that, "Section 7, Article XVIII of the Ohio Constitution authorizes municipal corporations to adopt and amend a homerule charter. Sections 8 and 9 of Article XVIII prescribe the procedures for adopting and amending a charter. State ex rel. Semik v. Cuyahoga Cty. Bd. of Elections (1993), 67 Ohio St.3d 334, 336, 617 N.E.2d 1120, 1122."
It is clear from the plain words of the Constitution, the cases applying the Constitution, and the statutes that the policy of the law is to favor the right of citizens to amend the charters of the municipalities in which they live. For that reason, the law does not, among other things, give a city
council the right to act as a quasi-judicial body and substantively attack citizens' rights to place charter amendments on the ballot.
On petition of ten percent of the electors, the legislative authority of the city must "forthwith" authorize by ordinance an election on the proposed charter amendment. In a unanimous opinion we recently followed well-established law and held that the authority of a city council in determining the sufficiency of a petition is limited to the form of the petition and does not include substantive matters. Morris v. Macedonia City Council (1994), 71 Ohio St.3d 52, 641 N.E.2d 1075; see State ex rel. Polcyn v. Burkhart (1973), 33 Ohio St.2d 7, 62 O.O.2d 202, 292 N.E.2d 883."
Un-American elections official Brent Lawler created a fake campaign finance committee under this writer's name and submitted it to the Ohio Elections Commission. This writer did not create a campaign committee when he campaigned for mayor of Cleveland in 2017. He did not seek or raise any money; or open an account in the name of the Committee to Elect Eric J. Brewer. There is no designation of treasurer form under that name as just another example of unprosecuted election official misconduct.
What Kelly cannot do is identify the specific section of Cleveland's Charter or Title 35 of Ohio's Revised Code that authorizes the legislative authority of a municipal corporation and not the Secretary of State to remove the two issues from the ballot and using a statutory "emergency ordinance enactment" process to do so.
The "substantive matter" on whether or not George's puppet, Ritter, has the legal authority to misdirect a request to remove the petition to council instead of the Secretary of State of Ohio isn't a matter at all. City council can't use an ordinance to repeal an initiative that criminally obstructs the authority of the Secretary of State to extend Ritter a "white special privilege" because of his legal stupidity instead of referring him for prosecution for obstruction.
Any legal action a citizen files to prevent the obstruction would name the Secretary of State as a party of interest; and he'd be forced to direct Ohio's Attorney General to protect his statutory right and prosecute the offenders. All of them; including the county's election officials.
West's "news release" identifies acts of "neglect of duty, malfeasance, misfeance, or nonfeasonce in office, on the part of the board and its employees; and it identifies willful violations of Title 35. Pursuant to R.C. 3501.16 on the surface of his news release alone, and the implications of criminal acts it reveals, the Secretary of State may remove or suspend "any member of the board of elections, the director, deputy director, or any other employee of the board" for what it clearly affirms are Title 35 violations of law.
"The secretary of state may summarily remove or suspend any member of a board of elections, or the director, deputy director, or any other employee of the board, for neglect of duty, malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance in office, for any willful violation of Title XXXV of the Revised Code, or for any other good and sufficient cause. Except as otherwise provided in section 3501.161 of the Revised Code, vacancies in the office of chairperson, director, or deputy director shall be filled in the same manner as original selections are made, from persons belonging to the same political party as that to which the outgoing officer belonged. If those vacancies cannot be filled in that manner, they shall be filled by the secretary of state."
In this case removing all of the criminal officials obstructing elections and misapplying laws at the Cuyahoga County board of Elections would be a blessing to the voters of Cuyahoga county. Cleveland voters will get to deal with the vote-obstructing criminals on the council in 2021.

GMV Uses Skydel SDX Flexibility to Simulate GNSS Timing Events
The upcoming GPS Week Number Rollover (WNRO) on April 6 is bringing a lot of attention not only in the specialized GNSS media, but also in the general media. The WNRO is a known feature of GPS that occurs only every roughly 20 years and thus can be anticipated and tested in a receiver using a GNSS simulator.
A less-known rollover effect is also present in the Week Number (WN) associated to the UTC Offset (UTCO) transmitted by GPS. This WN has only 8 bits, which implies a range of values from 0-255, equivalent to a rollover every roughly 5 years. A possible failure in the receiver interpretation of the UTCO WN would not have such dramatic effects as a general GPS WNRO, but it could seriously affect the output of a GPS timing receiver.
Related Reading: Schriever Air Force Base Announces Next GPS Week Number Rollover
Other than WN rollovers, un-programmed GNSS timing glitches are extremely rare but not impossible. A well-known case is the GPS anomaly of January 25-26, 2016, when around half of the satellites in the constellation transmitted an incorrect UTCO over a 12-hour duration. The transmitted value was of the order of 13 microseconds, when the correct value is usually of the order of just a few nanoseconds. This caused many timing receivers around the world to provide an incorrect timing information or to fail altogether.
Other fields in the GPS navigation message that could potentially be corrupt and cause incorrect timing output are Timing Group Delays (TGDs), and Leap Second information. In general, any event related to the contents of the GPS navigation message can be simulated by editing the associated bits in the message, for each satellite PRN. However this is a cumbersome and prone-to-error task. Orolia's Skydel SDX simulator provides an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows it to develop SDX extensions to tackle particular simulation problems in an easy and flexible way, according to a blog post on the Skydel Solutions website. By using this API, GMV has developed a "Time Plugin" that allows to edit directly on a user interface the numerical values associated to TGDs, UTCO, and Leap Seconds, per individual satellite PRN. These values are then converted to bits in the GPS message and transmitted in the RF stream to feed the receiver under test. Events like for example the GPS anomaly of January 25-26, 2016 can be easily tested (as shown in the image above).
Ricardo Píriz, from Skydel's partner GMV, developed the SDX plugin that automates the testing of timing errors for GNSS. He contributed in the blog details about other timing errors (on top of the WN) that could affect GNSS receivers, and that should be tested.

PHOTOS Of Ramatu Bawumia, The Woman Speaker Of Parliament Mistakenly Addressed Her As Samira Bawumia – Alleged Bawumia's 1st Wife
Newly-elected Speaker of the 8th Parliament of the Republic of Ghana, Alban Suman Kingsford Bagbin mistakenly honored the presence of Ramatu Bawumia while addressing the second lady, Samira Bawumia at the inauguration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The Speaker of Parliament Alban Suman Kingsford Bagbin was sworn into office in the early hours of today who stood on the standing orders of the house and sworn into office, the 275 MPs Elect, thereafter proceeds to the inaugural ceremony of the President elect Nana Akufo-Addo and his Vice Dr Bawumia.
Interestingly, information reaching this portal from Walewale in the West Mamprusi of the Northeast Region where the Vice- President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia hails, lives a woman identified as Ramatu Bawumia.
She is allegedly, the 1st wife to the Vice President, a clear confirmation of what the Speaker said earlier, which implies Bagbin never made a mistake with the name of the wife, but rather brought to light the name of the beautiful wife of Dr Bawumia who carries her life activities at Walewale.
Immediately the speaker of parliament made that mistake and corrected it, social media users who seems to know much also shared pictures of her on their wall.
One that Globaltipsgh.com sighted on while sharing the information wrote "As soon as I heard the name Ramatu Bawumia, I knew the person who submitted the list to the Speaker wants Ghanaians to know something. Who composed the list".
She is pretty as Samira, just that she has been kept away from the public if she is indeed the first wife of Bawumia.
I'm of the view that, in as much as today happens to be a great day for the Vice President, God in his own intelligence chooses to honor her as well, to join the happiness, which I see not a deliberate attempt to have disrespect the 2nd lady, but a divine intervention of honouring Madam Ramatu in mix of the gathering.
However, Vice president Bawumia on October 15, 2020 celebrated his mother, a woman who also bears the name Ramatu Bawumia but has Hajia in it.
Well, this has caused a massive stir on the internet as to whether Ramatu Bawumia is the first wife of Bawumia like some netizens are saying.
Below are beautiful photos of Ramatu Bawumia:

If you've ever felt the need to steer clear of social environments, you are not alone. Here's what you can do to overcome your anxiety and keep moving forward.
Social anxiety can be a pain. And if you're one of the 15 million people in the U.S. who suffer from it, you probably have far too many memories of turning down invites to avoid those feelings of anxiety.
When you turn down an invite to socialize, you are pushing away the opportunity to grow potential friendships, and the satisfaction you feel by avoiding your anxiety will eventually be rewarded with sadness.
The temporary relief is followed by a flood of loneliness.
If you're ready to stop missing social gatherings and move forward in stunted friendships, here's how you can start making steps to overcome it.
1. Recognize and acknowledge the physical discomfort.
There is often a physical discomfort associated with anxiety. Anyone who experiences this is likely familiar with the tightness in your chest, pain in your stomach or throat, difficulty breathing, and rapid heart rate. At your highest moments of anxiety, you may literally hear the sound of your heartbeat in your ears.
These are the same physical reactions we experience when we're in danger. If you get attacked by a bear, you sure as hell can count on the above symptoms occurring. This makes sense, because if you get attacked by a bear, your body has to prepare itself to run away. So in the case of bear attacks, you actually want your body to get anxious.
The problem with social anxiety? There is no bear!
You're only running away from a good time. If your body reacts the same way to a Facebook invite as it does to mortal danger, you are definitely going to turn down the invite. And while avoidance is the natural response to anxiety, it doesn't mean it's helpful. In this scenario, it's not helpful to avoid social interactions simply because they trigger those particular physical sensations.
If you're not ready, you don't have to jump into the most anxiety-provoking situation possible. Therapists refer to this as flooding, which is an incredibly effective yet universally-hated treatment technique. So if your ultimate fear is singing karaoke, don't start there. But do tag along with friends, sit in the back, and watch.
Once you're comfortable sitting at the back of the karaoke bar, try moving to a table closer to the front before considering singing in a big group. You can work your way up from there.
The point here is to help your brain recognize that you don't have to fear social situations. Ask yourself which situations make you anxious, and then put yourself in a 'slightly' anxiety-producing scenario. Over time, you'll take on bigger challenges and singing karaoke will no longer trigger a panic attack.
3. Use your anxiety as a guide to move forward.
9 times out of 10, whatever sets off your anxiety is actually a great thing for you to do. Rather than treat your anxiety as a warning to avoid a situation, you can use it as a signal that you should venture outside of your comfort zone.
A sign that you're about to do something amazing.

First we have to count number of a's and that number should be equal to number of b's.
That we will achieve by pushing a's in STACK and then we will pop a's whenever "b" comes.
We will take one input string: "aabb"

Die Dean-Zahl  ist eine dimensionslose Kennzahl aus der Strömungsmechanik, die zur Beschreibung der Strömung, z. B. der Druckverluste, in einem kreisförmig gekrümmten Rohr oder Kanal dient. Sie wurde nach William Reginald Dean (1896–1973) benannt, der 1928 Ergebnisse zu seiner Arbeit über Strömungen in gekrümmten Spalten veröffentlichte.

Die Dean-Zahl ist definiert als:

mit
 der Strömungsgeschwindigkeit  im Rohr
 der kinematischen Viskosität  des Fluids
 den geometrischen Abmessungen des gekrümmten Strömungkanals:
 dem Krümmungsradius  der inneren Begrenzungsfläche
 dem Abstand  zwischen den gekrümmten Flächen, ggf. auch dem Rohrdurchmesser.

Mit der Reynolds-Zahl  kann man formulieren

Die Dean-Zahl stellt ein Kriterium dafür dar, ob sich durch die Umlenkung des Fluidstroms Wirbel in gebogenen Kanälen ausbilden:
 nach der Untersuchung von Dean bilden sich in einem gekrümmten Spalt bei voll ausgebildetem Profil der Zuströmung für  keine sekundären Wirbel aus, die Strömung ist in diesem Bereich stabil.
 für größere Dean-Zahlen wird beim Vorhandensein von geringen Störungen die schnellere Kernströmung durch die Zentrifugalkraft an die äußere Rohrwand gedrückt und verdrängt die langsamere Wandströmung, sodass sich typische gegensinnig rotierende Wirbel (Dean-Wirbel) an der äußeren der gekrümmten Flächen ausbilden.

The liver is the organ that is at the highest risks of damage under any kind of drug treatment. Most of the medications offer side effects that primarily damage the liver activity. It is the center of purification of toxins in the blood and its damage is considered to be one of the most severe damages to the human body.
One such case is Isoniazid that is a commonly used drug for treating tuberculosis. Aside from its potential abilities to treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it also offers various hepatotoxic (toxic to the liver) side effects.
The researchers from Jahrom University of Medical Sciences and Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in Iran have suggested using orchid extract named "Salep" to protect the liver against the effects of Isoniazid. Salep is the starch that comes from the dried tubers of the orchid plant. The results of their study were published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine.
Isoniazid was introduced into clinical practice in 1954. It has been credited with the sharp decline in morbidity and mortality of tuberculosis but it is also referred to as the most common cause of serious liver injury. In the U.S., the drug accounts for acute liver injury with jaundice. In fewer cases, it was also found to even cause death.
Alcohol consumption, old age, malnutrition, underlying hepatitis B or C, and the use of other anti-tuberculosis medications may also add to the damaging situation.
For the study and analysis, the team first collected salep plants and made flour using their dried roots which were then processed and filtered to make an aqueous extract. 56 Wistar or outbred albino rats were employed for the experiment, which was then randomly distributed into seven groups. Aside from the control and the placebo group, one group was given 50 mg/kg of Isoniazid. The other four groups received 40, 80, 160, and 320 mg/kg of orchid extract, respectively. Blood samples and liver tissues from the rats were analyzed after a month.
The results of the study showed that salep (Orchis maculate L.) possessed anti-hepatotoxic properties in general. In traditional medicine, salep is applied topically to relieve chest pain. It is also known to treat intestinal disorders, tuberculosis, diarrhea, Parkinson's disease, and cancer.
The rats administered with salep showed significantly lower levels of the markers for liver damage i.e. liver enzymes, bilirubin, MDA, and total oxidant content. The salep group also exhibited a higher level of antioxidants and protein in comparison to the group with Isoniazid only. Moreover, no liver injury was revealed upon tissue analysis of the rats from the salep group.
Salep is popular in the Middle East as a thickener in cooking. It is also well-known as a creamy drink that is especially popular in winter. It also helps people with a cough. A simple way to prepare the best remedial recipe out of salep is to mix one tablespoon of salep flour with two teaspoons of sugar and added two cups of milk. Mix and stir well over low heat for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg can be used as a topping.
Salep drinks are readily available in the markets of Turkey. However, some varieties of orchids used in the production of salep are already endangered thus it is prohibited to export salep outside Turkey.

Going-Out-Of-Business Sales Are Now Underway At All Gordmans and Stage Stores
Nationwide Sales managed by Gordon Brothers & Hilco Merchant Resources
Joint venture partners Gordon Brothers and Hilco Merchant Resources announced that they have commenced "Going-Out-of-Business" sales at 720 Stage Stores, Inc. locations including Gordmans and all associated brand stores across the United States. The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May in order to explore recapitalization options as part of a larger restructuring strategy. The challenging preexisting market conditions were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and prevented the retailer from obtaining the required financing to continue operating stores outside of bankruptcy. While the Company continues to follow a dual path, going-out-of-business sales have now commenced across all Gordmans and Stage stores as well as Bealls, Goody's, Palais Royal and Peebles stores.
Beginning today, customers can take advantage of storewide discounts of up to 60 percent off original ticketed prices. This includes all new merchandise arrivals in Home, Missy, Women's, Maternity, Men's, Kid's, Footwear and much, much more.
A spokesperson from Gordon Brothers and Hilco Merchant Resources stated, "Customers can shop confidently, as stores have implemented protocols to ensure a safe "easy in, easy out" shopping environment. We encourage customers to take advantage of significant discounts and shop early for the best selection. Store teams remain committed to providing customers with the same great experience, while offering even better deals and value."

Last week I had to resign from my old work because I got a new job. While it's very exciting to be starting a new job and I'm really looking forward to it, it is a bit sad to be leaving New World after having been there for about 18 months now. So I thought that I'd make some biscuits for the owner and his wife to say thanks for giving me my first job and all that. I decided to make these slightly different chocolate chip cookies because after I posted the other recipe my nana called me up and said that she uses this recipe now that she got from us and that it's way better! This one has oats, which is why I don't use it all the time, but they are a bit easier to get right and they still taste great. The recipe is from Jo Seagar Cooks.
Preheat oven to 170°C and grease and line two baking trays. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the condensed milk and beat until pale and smooth. Mix in the vanilla, oats, flour and baking powder, then the chocolate chips. Place spoonfuls of the mixture on the prepared trays and press flat with a wet fork. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Enjoy!

The Visual Resources Collection (VRC) located in the Fine Arts House supports the pedagogical needs of our faculty, students, and staff.
