Thanksgiving with Long Beach Mayor Garcia
What better way to get to know the man running a city with one of the largest LGBTQ+ populations outside of San Francisco than over a Thanksgiving feature? The Pride L.A. met up with Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia to discuss food, family and the future of the local queer community.
What are your Thanksgiving traditions?
Actually for the last the last 10 years it's been switching back and forth between me and my partner's family. One Thanksgiving here in Southern California. another one San Jose and we'll go back and forth.
We are actually getting married in December. So we're actually hosting them here this year because we're so busy… Our tradition is just Turkey, ham and mashed potatoes and all sorts of traditional Thanksgiving food. Just a lot of eating, and my mom over-feeding me and that's that. And then just relaxing. We oftentimes go see a movie or, just relax with the kids.
Does your family have any fun Thanksgiving or holiday traditions.
We really just get together and laugh and eat. Everyone would just overcook and have tons of leftovers for like a week later. I eat turkey and I have more turkey sandwiches for like a week.
What is your favorite Thanksgiving side dish?
My favorite Thanksgiving side is the sweet potato casserole that my aunt makes.
Does it have marshmallows on top?
Not ours, but it's so good. It's a sweet potato with like you know, eggs and some sort of like sweet crab, and it's probably like 3000 calories.
That sounds so good. What's your favorite pie flavor?
Oh hands down. Dutch Apple Pie, ooh Dutch Apple. I love Dutch or French.
Could you comment a little bit about the importance of like friends giving in the LGBT community.
I think it's very important. I think that that's something that I do as well. We almost always have a friendsgiving before Thanksgiving at some point. Most of my friends are pretty close to family. You know it's no secret that one of the busiest nights of the year for some of the gay bars and Long Beach is Thanksgiving. And so you know, there are people in the community that are as close to family. There are those that would like to spend [Thanksgiving] with their gay family.
Is there anything else you'd like to say to the LGBTQ community?
We have to be responsive to the needs of other minority groups and it's not enough to say gay marriage and trans rights. We have to also fight for women's rights and rights of immigrants, stand up for low income people. Now more than ever. We are together stronger together.

Richard "Rick" Frye returns to Weil, Gotshal & Manges as a partner in Dallas after practicing for two years at Winston & Strawn.
Richard "Rick" Frye has returned to Weil, Gotshal & Manges as a partner in the firm's private equity practice in Dallas after less than two years as a partner at Winston & Strawn.
Frye could not be reached for comment, but in a statement announcing his return to Weil, Frye said he was "thrilled" to return to the firm and its well-regarded global private equity practice.
"I look forward to collaborating with the firm's talented lawyers around the world to provide best-in-class advice to our clients," Frye said.
Frye, who does complex corporate transactions for public and private companies, private equity sponsors and portfolio companies, was an associate at Weil when he left to join the new Winston & Strawn office in Dallas in March 2017. At that time, Frye told Texas Lawyer he was impressed with his new firm's commitment to Dallas and the caliber of the lawyers the firm had brought together.
Winston & Strawn moved into the Dallas market in February 2017, opening an office with 21 lateral partners from eight firms.
Bryan Goolsby, managing partner of the Winston & Strawn office in Dallas, said Frye was a key member in helping to launch the office in early 2017. He said Frye had an outstanding opportunity to go back to Weil as a partner and to work with clients and lawyers he had worked with before.
Weil executive partner Barry Wolf said in a statement that the firm is excited to welcome Frye back because of his "significant experience" in private equity that ranges across many types of transactions and industries.
"Rick has a proven record in private equity and a keen business sense," Courtney Marcus, a co- managing partner of Weil's Dallas office and a partner in the firm's banking and finance practice, said in the statement.


LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland (AP by Andrew Dampf)--Lindsey Kildow just concluded the best skiing season by an American woman since her idol Picabo Street in 1995-96. She finished sixth in the overall World Cup standings _ matching Street's finish nine years ago _ and at 20 was the youngest skier in the top 10.
And with the 2006 Turin Olympics less than a year away, Kildow is right on track for the plan that she and her father drew up when she was just 13.
Kildow competed in the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, finishing sixth in the combined event for the best result by a U.S. woman in Alpine skiing.
This season she got her first World Cup win, in a downhill in December, and reached the podium six times. She finished fourth in the season's downhill standings and was third in super-G, trailing only two veteran Austrian racers _ Renate Goetschl and Michaela Dorfmeister.
So where did the overall title fit in that plan designed seven years ago?
Kildow knows that she might not be too far off her plan. This season's overall winner, Anja Paerson, and her closest rival, Janica Kostelic, only started excelling in speed events this season. Kildow, on the other hand, has raced all four events her entire career.
For next season, however, Kildow's main goal is the Olympics.
She used last month's world championships as a big test for the Olympics and wasn't too thrilled when she just missed out on medals with fourth-place finishes in both combined and downhill.
``What I realized in world championships is that the big events take a much different approach than normal World Cups,'' she said. ``You have to ski with so much emotion and so much heart because every single person is giving it all they have. I'm going to try and practice that, try and simulate things, and hopefully try and work out some jitters.
Kildow puts a tremendous amount of pressure on herself to perform well, and when she doesn't meet her goals she often breaks down emotionally. She said she's naturally impatient.
While Kildow has positioned herself as the top medal favorite at the Olympics among U.S. women skiers, she is not alone.
Julia Mancuso won two bronze medals at the worlds _ in super-G and giant slalom _ and finished ninth in the overall World Cup standings this season. Having just turned 21, she was the second-youngest skier in the top 10 after Kildow.
Kristina Koznick, 29, and Sarah Schleper, 26, finished fourth and fifth in the season's slalom standings. Schleper posted her first World Cup career victory Saturday in the last slalom race of the season.
There is also 19-year-old Resi Stiegler, who posted the best slalom finish among American women at the worlds, coming in sixth.Stiegler and Kildow are traveling pals when in Europe. Until U.S. nationals later this month, however, Kildow isn't planning on spending time with other skiers. She's on vacation.


Looks like it is going to be a dry but cold one tomorrow so time to get the thermals out.
As usual, we will be meeting at the Rose & Crown from 9:50am. Gary has promised to have a roaring fire ready to defrost us when we return from our adventures.

Late payment protocol
If after three reminders, school fees and other charges fall into arrears, the school reserves the right to send the entire amount due to the school's debt collections agency and to refuse admittance to the school. All costs of the debt collection agency will be for the parent.
This late payment protocol applies similarly to the invoicing of extras (for instance school bus, lunch and trip).
In the situation where there is an outstanding debt, any payment made will always be paid towards the oldest outstanding amount that is due/payable.
No school records or reports will be issued until all fees and other charges have been satisfactorily settled. The due date of invoices will not change if a request for a change in the invoice is made.
Other additional costs
All school trips that are a compulsory part of the curriculum are included in the School Fees.
Extras not included in the School Fees
Optional trips are not covered by the School Fees and will be invoiced separately. Pupils will not be allowed to attend the trip unless payment in full has been made before the trip takes place.
The fees for the School Bus and Lunch are not included in the School Fees and will be invoiced separately on a non-refundable basis. As part of the COVID-19 protocol we are currently providing packed lunches ordered weekly in advance and delivered each day to the classroom. The cost is €4 a day invoiced on a half termly basis. The School Bus is €16.50 per ride for 2020-21. This is invoiced termly. More information about the School Buses can be found by clicking here.
School text books and examination fees
Text books and exercise book are provided by the School free of charge, unless they are damaged or lost. All external examination fees for qualifications from the UK, such as GCSE/IGCSE and AS/A level are also paid for within the School Fees. Any re-take examinations will be invoiced separately.
Laptop in the Senior School
All pupils in years 7 to 9 are expected to have a Chromebook as part of their school supplies. The Chromebook must be brought to school on a daily basis fully charged ready to use in lessons.
In Year 10 and above, whilst we recommend a Chromebook because of the battery life, very quick start up and shut down, and robustness within school, pupils may bring any device, the minimum requirement is that it has a full sized keyboard.
For children with additional learning support needs requiring a Learning Support Assistant, the fee for 2020-21 is €36,192 per year for full time support. This is in addition to School Fees. Please contact the Admissions Team admissions@britams.nl for more details.

Birdstrike: When birds and airplanes collide.
Birdstrike. Apart from being one of the biggest hazards of aviation, did you know that this happens 26 times per day? Read on to learn more
Several birds flying along with an airplane.
What is a birdstrike?
First, we should define a 'birdstrike':
It is a collision between a bird and an aircraft which is in flight or on a takeoff or landing roll. The term is often expanded to cover other wildlife strikes.
Birdstrike history
If we look back on history, the first birdstrike happened on 7 September 1908, while piloting the Wright Flyer, Orville Wright.
Less than four years later, on 3 April 1912, at Long Beach, California, Calbraith Perry Rodgers, the first man to fly an aeroplane across the United States, became the first person to die as the result of a bird strike.
Importance of birdstrike reporting
These events became the trigger of building a strong awareness of the importance of bird/wildlife strikes. The civil and military aviation communities widely recognize that the threat to human health and safety from aircraft collisions with wildlife (wildlife strikes) is increasing (Dolbeer 2000, MacKinnon et al. 2001).
Globally, wildlife strikes have killed more than 194 people and destroyed over 163 aircraft since 1988 (Richardson and West 2000; Thorpe 2003; 2005; Dolbeer, unpublished data).
According to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an effective bird/wildlife control programme depends upon accurate and reliable reporting. This must involve pilots and aircraft operators primarily, plus airport ground operations staff.
Reviewing and analysing this data will help identify problems at the airport and indicate the effectiveness of the current bird/wildlife strike prevention methods.
The US situation
All strike reports should be directed to the bird/wildlife strike control coordinator who should forward them to the appropriate regulatory authority. In the US, this is the job of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
About 61% of bird strikes with civil aircraft occur during landing phases of flight (descent, approach and landing roll); 36% occur during the take-off run and climb, and the remainder (3%) occur during the en-route phase. (FAA Stats)
The FAA has initiated several programs to address this important safety issue. Among the various programs is the collection and analysis of data from wildlife strikes. The FAA began collecting wildlife strike data in 1965. However, except for cursory examinations of the strike reports to determine general trends, the data were never submitted to rigorous analysis until the 1990s. In 1995, the FAA, through an interagency agreement with the USDA, Wildlife Services, (USDA/WS), initiated a project to obtain more objective estimates of the magnitude and nature of the national wildlife strike problem for civil aviation. This project involves having specialists from the USDA/WS: edit all strike reports received by the FAA since 1990 to ensure consistent, error-free data; enter all edited strike reports in the FAA National Wildlife Strike Database; supplement FAA-reported strikes with additional, non-duplicated strike reports from other sources; and assist the FAA with the production of annual and special reports summarizing the results of analyses of the data from the National Wildlife Strike Database.
Also, ICAO has a Form to report the birdstrikes:
This is the report that ICAO recommends informing birdstrikes
This is the report that ICAO recommends informing birdstrikes (continued)
Reporting made easy
At Eclipse Wildlife Control, we developed a global system to help improve security and ensure reliable, quick and easy reporting.
We understand the importance of reporting birdstrikes, so now is possible to submit the report to the FAA immediately
Huge Bird Species Database with photos, mass, flock average size and behaviour of the birds, 100% customizable
Customizable daily, monthly, annual reports with your airport/company logo.
Identify more useful tools and effectiveness with each species.
Birdstrike Report Form: Easy Report Birdstrikes from our app in a few steps.
You can continue updating the report later on our Web Admin Software, or take photos of the birdstrikes. (FAA Form 5200-7)
The EWC System App allows the user to quickly record reliable information of any incident.
Not only reporting is crucial
Identification of species involved in bird/aircraft strikes is an important part of the mitigation of wildlife hazards to aviation. Species identifications provide the baseline data needed to plan habitat management on airfields, allocate resources, build avoidance programs, and have even been used to assist engineers to design windscreens and engines that are more resilient to birdstrike events. Visit Smithsonian Feather DNA & Lab website
SENDING SAMPLES TO THE SMITHSONIAN LAB IS SIMPLE, TAKES JUST MINUTES AND IT'S FREE!
Reporting every wildlife strike is crucial to the continuing effort of birdstrike prevention. Equally important is to assign an accurate species to each case so the overall data is complete and can be correctly interpreted. Although commercial aviation currently reports about 7,500 strikes per year, many of these cases are not associated with a specific identification of the wildlife involved.

Q: Storm UI not working We are executing a Storm topology in pseudo mode.
Storm topology is executing fine and able to connect Storm UI (8080).
But Storm UI is not displaying the running topology information.
Restarted the storm UI process also but no use.
Does storm needs special configuration to display running topology in Storm UI?

A: You have only to provide port to ui.port option in storm.yaml, like: ui.port: 8080, also made sure that provided port is not already in use. And you don't need to run supervisor to check your Storm UI is running or not, just run nimbus and start ui.

A: *

*Provide ui.port in storm.yaml file, default port is 8080

*Start storm ui by bin/storm ui

A: I am facing same issue, because my port is already in use so I provided manually port number..
just add ui.port: 8090 in your storm.yaml file which is present inside conf folder of apache storm. And re-run the command storm ui .
Now type http://localhost:8090/ in your google chrome or any other browser.

A: What versions of Storm are you running?
Check to make sure both Nimbus AND a Supervisor are running. I have seen that if a topology is deployed with no supervisor running then nothing is displayed.

A: I was also facing the same issue. As the default port is 8080 and is already in use, you might be getting 404 there.
As suggested above as well just use ui.port: 8081 or anything else then 8080 which is not in use.
Mind the space between : and 8081, I faced problem for that as well. Not sure but if you face problem, just mind that space as well and include it.
Also after this if you face any issue, please run the zookeeper/bin> zkcli -server yourhostname command and try it.
Good luck !!

A: When running the pseudo mode, We normally forget giving a name to topology. If we don't provide the name for topology at the time of submitting it. Then it won't show up in storm UI.
Check following:

*

*Supervisor is running

*Nimbus is running

*zookeeper is running

*you are giving topology some name

Thanks

A NEW care village for the elderly with on-site facilities fit for 21st century pensioners could be under construction in Wilmslow within two years.
The complex of 53 flats, to be built on the site of the former Brooke Dean Primary School, which closed in 2004, is being proposed by Cheshire County Council.
And will be among the first pensioner villages to be set up across Cheshire to meet ambitious targets for care provision in the county by 2012.
As well as one and two bedroom apartments the complex will include recreational facilities, a restaurant, health suite and car parking.
A Macclesfield Borough Council planning meeting heard there was a "very large need" for the facility and gave it their blessing.
Coun Adrian Bradley, who was the vice chairman of governors at the Spath Lane school, said: "No-one can deny that the need for this facility is there and it is right that we should go ahead with it."
Cheshire County Council which has drawn up a radical care programme to meet a predicted rise in the elderly population forecasts a need for 2,000 similar units across the county within seven years.
Chief Planning Officer, Peter Yates, said: "There is a very large need for this and it is only going to touch a very small corner of it."
The development would have 24 hour support teams, while on-site facilities will include a restaurant, activity space and a health suite.
Despite overall approval for the project some members were concerned that about 70 per cent of the units will have just one-bedroom, and that the three storey part of the buildings was shown as being next to two-storey properties.
But, as the application was purely for outline permission, councillors were happy to approve the scheme unanimously.
Coun Jim Crockatt said: "I was involved with a similar scheme not far from here so by the time this one comes to fruition the county council will have a fair idea as to what the needs are with a scheme of this size and I think we should give this our whole-hearted support."
Should full planning permission eventually be granted, building work would start in 2007, with facilities expected to become operational by 2009.
The site is currently occupied by Wilmslow Grange School, whose pupils will transfer to its newly extended main premises on Ullswater Road later this year.

Media outlets have an ethical responsibility not to omit critical information and facts to have their coverage be fairer and more balanced to educate and inform the public. That has not been the case over the last several days, and this resource guide hopes to provide media outlets and the public with more facts.

Referring to Dr. Siddiqui as "Lady Al-Qaeda":
Dr. Siddiqui was never charged or convicted of terrorism.
At her trial, no terrorist organizations were mentioned.
In fact, during Dr. Siddiqui's trial, U.S. District Court Judge Richard M. Berman barred any discussion of what occurred to Dr. Siddiqui from 2003, when she was kidnapped in Pakistan along with her children, and 2008 when she allegedly shot at U.S. soldiers as being "off-limits." Her sole charges were related to July 18, 2008, in Ghazani, Afghanistan.
The Seeking Information Alert for Dr. Aafia Siddiqui stated, "no information indicating this individual is connected to specific terrorist activities, the FBI would like to locate and question this individual".
There was no red notice issued for her immediate arrest by Interpol, but rather a blue notice that she was wanted for questioning.
The first reference to Dr. Siddiqui as "Lady Al-Qaeda" came from tabloid newspapers in New York when Dr. Siddiqui was renditioned to the U.S. despite never being charged or having any direct, provable links to Al-Qaeda or any other terrorist organization, this tabloid introduced title has stuck and continues to be used by mainstream news outlets today.
Dr. Siddiqui Kidnapping in Pakistan & Disappearance for 5-years:
In March of 2003, Dr. Siddiqui, her three children, Mohammed 7-years-old, Mariam 5-years-old, and Suleman, 6-month-old were arrested by Pakistan's Intelligence Agency ISI and CIA in Karachi while on their way to the airport to visit her uncle in Islamabad.
Evidence of Arrest by ISI and CIA:
FBI-Wanted Flyer of Pakistani Woman Detained Dated 03-31-2003
Transcript of April 21, 2003, NBC Nightly News Report
Newsweek, "Al-Qaeda in America: The Enemy Within" 6-22-2003. "Siddiqui fled to Pakistan, where she was reportedly arrested."
DAWN – May 29, 2004, Pakistan Interior Ministry spokesman confirmed that Aafia Siddiqui "was handed over to the U.S. last year."
"I spoke to an investigative reporter for the Washington Post who informed me that she had reliable sources in both the American and Pakistani government who have verified that Dr. Siddiqui was taken into custody by Pakistani military intelligence in 2003. According to her sources, Dr. Siddiqui was then transferred to CIA custody where she was held in rendition for the last five years with at least one if not two of her children." Elizabeth Fink Letter to the Court, Case 1:06-cr-00826-RMB, Doc. 10, September 2, 2008.
Listed as a potential victim of CIA imprisonment: Amnesty International September 2006and Center For Human Rights and Global Justice, Fate and whereabouts unknown: Detainees in the" war on terror", New York University School of Law, December 2005.
Former Foreign Minister of Pakistan from 2002-2007, Khurshid Kasuri in a 2012 Tweet: "#Pakistan, I'm so sorry for handing over the innocent @DrAafiaSiddiqui to the Americans. It was my biggest mistake ever! #PTI @PTIofficial."
Multiple news outlets report that Dr. Siddiqui was arrested and in custody in Pakistan in 2003. This kidnapping by authorities is the start of Dr. Siddiqui's 5-year disappearance. During the height of the so-called 'war on terror,' it is implausible that authorities would release someone suspected of having links to terrorist organizations after having the individual in their custody. Around this time, thousands of innocent people were arrested with little to no evidence of any connection to terrorist organizations and held in perpetuity at black sites overseas or in Guantanamo Bay. They suffered torture, humiliation, physical and psychological abuse in these sites. Nearly all people detained at these sites never had any charges brought against them.
Ghazani Afghanistan and Alleged Shooting of U.S. Soldiers: Did Dr. Siddiqui Try to Kill U.S. Soldiers?
On July 17, 2008, Dr. Siddiqui, disheveled and emaciated, and her eldest son reappeared in the U.S. occupied Afghanistan, in a city called Ghazani located 120 miles from Bagram, Afghanistan.
Dr. Siddiqui did not speak the local language and was not dressed in the local clothing of the city. She stuck out.
Dr. Siddiqui heard the call for the Muslim prayer and went to a local Masjid to perform that prayer. A woman praying at an Afghan Masjid shocked the locals. The locals called the Police, who arrested Dr. Siddiqui.
Dr. Siddiqui and her son were taken to the Ghazani Police station.
Dr. Siddiqui was placed in a room uncuffed as she was not viewed as a threat by the Afghans and was sitting on a bed behind a yellow curtain.
On July 18, 2008, four U.S. soldiers and two FBI interrogators entered the room. They did not know that Dr. Siddiqui was sitting behind the curtain.
One of the U.S. soldiers allegedly put down his fully loaded M-4 rifle next to the curtain out of what he described as "Respect for the Afghan Culture."
It is alleged that Dr. Siddiqui, who was 90 lbs. and 5'2" at the time, picked up the M-4 rifle, turned off the safety, raised the weapon, and managed to fire off two rounds at U.S. soldiers before an Afghan interpreter wrestled her for the weapon. While wrestling with her, another soldier shot her multiple times in the stomach.
No physical evidence was presented in court that shows Dr. Siddiqui ever touched the M-4 rifle. Her fingerprints were not on the weapon, no gunshot residue was on her person or clothing, no shell casings were found, no bullet holes were found, and no one was shot or injured in the small room filled with people. Dr. Siddiqui was the only one injured that day.
According to Dr. Siddiqui, the soldiers were startled when she appeared behind the curtain; they yelled "prisoner loose" and shot her.
All witnesses to the shooting gave differing, contradictory accounts of what transpired.
Question: How did Dr. Siddiqui and her son, who didn't speak the local language and were not dressed in the local clothing, manage to make their way to Ghazani, Afghanistan?
Dr. Siddiqui's Mental Health & Her Trial:
On August 4, 2008, Dr. Siddiqui, a citizen of Pakistan who allegedly committed a crime on Afghan soil, was renditioned to the United States with severe gunshot wounds.
Dr. Siddiqui was initially deemed mentally incompetent to stand trial by the medical examiner on November 6, 2008.
Later, that initial determination was overturned, and she was forced to stand trial.
During Dr. Siddiqui's trial, she displayed clear signs of severe mental health problems and outbursts, making statements such as:
"Counsel visits are torture for me. If you could stop those, please, I'd appreciate it."
"I would like to make the point that I have boycotted this trial. It's an international crime. It's against international law."
"I want to make peace and the Americans."
"I'm only quiet because I don't agree with all of this. It's lies, hypocrisy, and injustice. I'm just here because I am forced to be here, and I relieve the defense once again from doing whatever they are doing."
"Before we begin, I, please, want to let you know I have information about a group that is planning attacks more than 9/11 –.. before this trial ends. So as soon as they want to medicate me so I can't talk, I want to help the President nab this group to finish them and I can do that. So please let this be known in public. This is the only opportunity I have to say this. I am not lying. I swear by God. If I am lying or misleading, may the curse of God be on me? What can I say? But don't take this lightly. They are domestic U.S. groups. They are not Muslims."
"Just to add to what I said. The press has to talk to me. I can't work with the agencies, as I have been trying, and this is the last opportunity I have. Once I'm sentenced -- and that's what they want to do. It's important. Please don't ignore me for the sake of God and this beautiful country.
"They have some stuff here in court, but they also hide it, and then one Sentence here and there out of context, that is not fair. And just blame and label, and blame and label, that's all they've been doing, poisoning the jury, poisoning the staff. OK, OK. Ask them to make what I wrote public, and then I want the American public to decide who is what, but this is a whole drama. In fact, the poor soldier, I feel sorry for him –"
It Got So Bad the Judge Said: "Although, I think it is difficult sometimes, and I may also have to make some verbal statements and comment to control the courtroomand the proceedings, if as and when I determine that Siddiqui should be excused from these courtroomproceedings and that in particular would include either if she waives her right to be here or further outbursts."
Question: Why did the United States force an individual with obvious mental health problems that were repeatedly displayed in multiple outbursts to stand trial?
Question: What happened to Dr. Siddiqui from 2003 to 2008? How did a high-performing student who received her master's from MIT and PhD. from Brandies University deteriorate to such an extent? Dr. Siddiqui was married and raising 3-children and showed no signs of mental impairment to deteriorate to such a state within 5-years? What emotional, physical, and mental trauma occurred during that time? Why did the judge bar that from the trial?
Charges of Antisemitism Against Dr. Siddiqui:
During her trial, Dr. Siddiqui made antisemitic statements, including calling on jurors to get DNA testing and trying to fire her lawyers because of their Jewish background.
It is important to remember that Dr. Siddiqui was suffering from and continues to suffer from mental health problems when renditioned to the U.S., forced to stand trial, and to this day. These outbursts are of a woman with severe mental health issues on full display in the courtroom. Dr. Siddiqui made these antisemitic and other statements when she was mentally impaired and should be understood in the larger context of her overall mental health.
Antisemitism is a serious and growing problem in America and around the world.
Dr. Siddiqui is currently held at the Federal Medical Center in Carswell, Texas. Why this facility and not another woman's prison? It's because she continues to suffer from severe mental health problems because of her 5-years of captivity.
It is important to note that Dr. Siddiqui lived in the U.S. for nearly a decade. Brandies University, where she received her Ph.D., has a Jewish population of almost 44%. However, no evidence has been reported that Dr. Siddiqui espoused any antisemitic beliefs during these ten-plus years.
Dr. Siddiqui, through her attorney, has rejected any hatred against any groups of people. When questioned about these antisemitic and other outbursts during her trial, Dr. Siddiqui rejects those statements.
The 86-Year Sentence at the Sole Discretion of U.S. District Court Judge Richard M. Berman:
Dr. Siddiqui was found guilty on all counts after her trial.
Dr. Siddiqui's defense team was calling for a 12-year prison sentence.
At the complete discretion of Judge Berman, he took each of the convictions and maxed them out. Judge Berman added a "terrorism enhancement" at his sole discretion despite no terrorist links being made during the trial. At his sole discretion, he had the Sentence run consecutively, which added up to essentially death behind bars, a sentence of 86-years in federal prison.
Activists and supporters of Dr. Siddiqui believe this astronomical Sentence is unjust as no one was injured in the Ghazni incident other than Dr. Siddiqui. Along with the fact that no material evidence was presented that Dr. Siddiqui ever shot an M-4 rifle.
The Mainstream Movement to Free Dr. Siddiqui:
Today, tens of millions of people in the U.S. and around the world support the release of Dr. Siddiqui.
The Pakistani cabinet has passed several resolutions and declared Dr. Siddiqui, the "daughter of the nation."
Every Pakistani Prime Minister, including Pervez Musharraf, under whom Dr. Siddiqui was arrested and disappeared, have either apologized for, or supported Dr. Siddiqui.
Hundreds of informal community and social media groups advocate for Dr. Siddiqui worldwide.
Dozens of civil and human rights organizations in the U.S. and worldwide continue to support Dr. Siddiqui's case, call attention to its implication during the war on terror, and question what occurred from 2003 to 2008.
The voices calling for the release of Dr. Siddiqui and a revaluation of her case and the evidence are mainstream.
Terrorist Organizations Such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS calling for the release of Dr. Siddiqui:
Terrorist organizations, by their nature, are driven to mainstream themselves. That is how they gain legitimacy, new recruitments, and funding. It is no wonder that Al-Qaeda and ISIS would exploit the legitimate mainstream concerns and emotional attachment by millions of people worldwide to Dr. Siddiqui for their political gains.
News outlets routinely refer to Dr. Siddiqui as Lady Al-Qaeda. Since Dr. Siddiqui was never charged with or convicted of terrorism or had any provable fact-based linking her to any terrorist organizations, they are forced to bring up prisoner exchanges pursued by Al-Qaeda and ISIS. It is true that these terrorist organizations have tried to and continue to gain legitimacy by exploiting the case of Dr. Siddiqui. For news outlets to aid and abet these terrorist organizations by making that link is reprehensible and unethical.
Dr. Siddiqui's Family and Children Today:
Since being renditioned to the U.S., Dr. Siddiqui has not seen or communicated with her children.
Her youngest child, Suleiman, has not reappeared and is believed to be deceased.
Dr. Siddiqui's mother was seriously ill, and a few days before the hostage situation collapsed in Pakistan. She is on a ventilator and may not survive much longer.
Advocates for Dr. Siddiqui call for her to be deported to Pakistan as she is a Pakistani national to be near her family.
Dr. Siddiqui's Attack at FMC Carswell:
FMC Carswell has proven it is unable to keep Dr. Siddiqui safe.
On July 30, 2021, Dr. Siddiqui was brutally attacked by another inmate while in her cell. She suffered burns around her face and bruises on her body.
After the attack, Dr. Siddiqui and her attacker were put into solitary confinement. Why was Dr. Siddiqui put into solitary confinement for nearly 60-days despite being in her cell, not instigating the fight, and being the victim? Long-term solitary confinement had a devastating impact on Dr. Siddiqui's mental health. Which since has been improved when returned to the general population.
Activists believe FMC Carswell and the United States government have proven they cannot keep Dr. Siddiqui safe. That is why they continue their calls to deport Dr. Siddiqui to her native national country of Pakistan to serve out her remaining Sentence.

FIESA International Sand Sculpture Festival
Apr 20, 2019 | Portugal
It was October 2013 when we first discovered the biggest sand festival in the world in the Algarve, Portugal. It is full of sand sculptures in fantastic detail.
Obidos Portugal Attractions
Oct 27, 2018 | Portugal
Obidos is a traditional Portuguese town on the West Coast of Portugal. It's only an hour's drive from Lisbon which makes it a place worth visiting for a day trip. It's a beautifully preserved old town with a hilltop castle all contained within the medieval walls of the city.
Alvor, Portugal
Beautiful Alvor in Portugal is our most favourite place to visit in the Algarve. We love the way it has retained its traditional Portuguese charm with its low rise white buildings and cobbled streets that lead down to the harbour.
Costa Nova, Portugal
Costa Nova is only a small town which is still an active fishing village but its charm is the colourful candy-striped wooden buildings of all shapes and sizes which line the main street through the town. These buildings which are like beach huts are known as Palheiros and whilst most are used as holiday homes some are permanent residences. There are also really interesting traditional tiled buildings mixed in.
Nazare, Portugal
Nazaré is halfway between Lisbon and Porto on the West Coast of Portugal. It makes a great day trip or stop-over to break the long drive between the two most visited towns of Portugal.
Praia da Luz & Lagos, Portugal
Nov 30, 2016 | Portugal
Praia da Luz has a lovely sandy beach with spectacular views of the cliffs and rock formations. The colours of the rocks change as you look out at them throughout the day.
Praia Da Rocha, Portugal
The large beach is excellent and stretches along the length of the town with a wide and walkable boardwalk lined with lots of restaurants and bars.
We got off the tram at Praca do Comercio at the southern edge of the Baxia district and overlooking the River Tagus estuary. This is the city's main square and is the largest of the 4 squares in Baxia. It's a very impressive riverside square and is the major hub for the tram network.
Porto is Portugal's second largest city. It is an ancient port steeped in history and tradition and a highly atmospheric place to visit.

Vietnam's first bi-themed feature film has opened to packed cinema crowds in Ho Chi Minh city.
The film follows relationships between a bisexual man (played by Trung Dung), a gay man (Binh An) and a straight woman (Mai Thu Huyen), making clear the love, commitment and affection they have.
Publicity for the film signals bisexual and queer content with two poster designs – the one we show here and another in rainbow flag colours.
It does however play into the 'queer people live tragic lives' cliche: the bi and gay characters are an older man who has escaped from prison, an young gay man in his early 20s shunned by his parents.
Some 800 people came to the opening screening last night.

They are characters that are supposed to be displayed as text by default, if my understanding of Unicode is correct. If you copy/paste them like I did they will be displayed as text but if you input them with an emoji selector they should be displayed as emoji.
It's up to the used font(s) only. But if phpBB wants to go the same way as others and replace characters by pictures: http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html and http://apps.timwhitlock.info/emoji/tables/unicode have comparison tables.
They are characters that are supposed to be displayed as text by default, if my understanding of Unicode is correct.
Yes. And how color comes in can be read in http://typography.guru/journal/windows-color-fonts/.
If you copy/paste them like I did they will be displayed as text but if you input them with an emoji selector they should be displayed as emoji.
That's not true - in the first case you're dealing with Emoji characters, in the latter you're just dealing with pictures. Just look at all the posts here: I'm unable to copy what it's all about, because those are pictures, not characters anymore. The only advantage of pictures is that they look the same in every client and on every OS.
We may be talking about different things. I'm talking about Unicode variation selectors VS15 and VS16, or U+FE0E and U+FE0F respectively.
If someone copy/pastes a text, say, a press release that mentions "PlayStation®" it shouldn't be displayed as "PlayStation " where the ® part has been turned into an emoji. That's because U+00AE (REGISTERED SIGN) is meant to be displayed as text by default, not as an emoji. If it's entered via an emoji selector it should be inserted as U+00AE U+FE0F (two codepoints) to indicate that it should be displayed as an emoji. They don't seem to be doing that consistently though.
I thought emojis required characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), (being 4 byte characters) and therefore in MySQL require the utf8mb4 character set, which isn't set by default, and is only available in versions >= 5.3.3. If that is correct would not a check on the database type, version, and character set used need to be made before allowing emojis?
Characters outside the BMP are transparently encoded as numeric character references before storage and decoded before rendering or editing.

"We have to do a lot of work on these vehicles. It takes at least four days to restore a vehicle," Ali Muhammad who works as car mechanic at Hawal here told Kashmir Reader.
Apart from the routine repairs, the processors of most modern cars need to be fixed. However, most local mechanics lack the technical expertise required to fix the damaged processors of the cars.
"The latest cars are fitted with computer processors. Most vehicles have these processors damaged because they remained under water for not less than a week," Muhammad said.
Almost all vehicles that remained under water have to go for change of engine oil and air filters, he said.
Muhammad Ashraf, who owns an automobile workshop, told Kashmir Reader that most company-owned service centres are located in the areas devastated by the floods, making repair of the processors even more difficult.
"Consequently, some people are thinking of sending their vehicles to authorised dealers in Jammu and Punjab," he said, adding that most cars need to be painted afresh, "though the priority is to get them running".
The flood has also rendered many mechanics, working for reputed automobile companies, temporarily jobless. The mechanics in old city said many of their affected counterparts approached them for help.
"They want us to allow them to help us with the repairs," Ashraf said.
Fayaz Ahmad, a bike mechanic, told Kashmir Reader that bikes too have to go for change of oil and filters, even though their electric equipment have survived the natural devastation.
"Technically, engine of every damaged bike needs to dismounted for proper repairs. But on temporary basis, a wash with kerosene and oil change make the bikes functional again," he said.
Fayaz, however, said there is a dearth of air filters while the available stocks of oil are inadequate to demand the enormous demand.
"Due to rush at the local service centres, many people are now heading to Ganderbal and Budgam areas for repair of their vehicles," he said.
The mechanics expect the rush to increase in the coming days as more and more vehicles are retrieved from under water every day.

Back in 2009, Patrick Strattner had a dilemma: he needed to beef up his photography portfolio but he wasn't quite sure how to do it. He wanted to add a solid still-life series, but he couldn't figure out what his subject should be. Inspiration, as it occasionally does, came at 35,000 feet. "I was on an overseas flight and flipping through SkyMall magazine, which I've always loved, and thought it would be great to come up with some 'inventions' that poked a little fun at these types of unnecessary gadgets that you see," he says. In other words, to advance his career as a photographer, Strattner had to try his hand as a product designer.
>Strattner had to think hard about simple things to fix in comically complex ways.
A SkyMall product is only as good as the problem it solves–or, more specifically, the convoluted way it goes about solving it. So Strattner had to think hard about simple things to fix in comically complex ways. "When I first tried to think of products to invent, I just looked at my everyday life," he says. "I felt like brushing my teeth took way too long and was way too much of a complicated process; I had to go grocery shopping, but didn't have a car and lived on the fifth floor without an elevator. A friend told me how she had to shave her boyfriend's back and how gross it was and, well, I guess you get the idea."
His still life series, Prototypes, includes self-made gizmos that address all these issues and more. The teeth-cleaning ritual was streamlined by the "Automatic Upper and Lower Full Mouth Toothbrush," a handheld bristle-and-gear monstrosity that looks like something out of the Saw movies. Those hirsute backsides? Tamed with the "Battery Operated Back Hair 2-in-1 Shaving and Grooming System," a jetpack-style over-the-shoulder assemblage outfitted with a full-width array of electric shavers between two rows of combs.
Since the aim was always to have something to photograph, Strattner couldn't just dream up his wild gizmos–he had to build them, too. "I did a lot of online research to find just the right parts," he explains. "In a way it was like a puzzle without a picture." Home improvement stores and flea markets were essential for components; the frame of the back hair-shaver, for example, is actually a series of shower curtain rods spray-painted by the artist.
The resulting photographs turned out just like Strattner had imagined: perfectly polished hero shots of truly absurd contraptions. But along the way, it seems, Strattner might have caught the inventor's bug. "I'm in the lucky position that I don't need the back hair shaver, but I would really love to use a full mouth toothbrush," he says. "I already have some ideas for improvements like adding dental floss and an automatic toothpaste dispenser..."

Review: SAMAs Paisley Takeover 2019
Posted by Keira Brown | 27 March 2019 | Music, Reviews | 0
Last year Richy Muirhead organised a Paisley Takeover that was thoroughly enjoyed by the locals and it was therefore, hardly surprising to see that the Scottish Alternative Music Awards (SAMAs) were back once again to promote music and provide insight within the town.
With several workshops on various aspects of the music industry, and a conversation with Glasgow's well versed, long-standing musician, Stuart Braithwaite. Prolific for being the lead singer of Mogwai and at the heart of the Scottish music industry, with Rock Action Records, who releases work by the likes of Sacred Paws and Kathryn Joseph, Braithwaite happily discussed his career with the record label with Glasgow Live journalist Craig Williams.
Insightful with humour, Stuart's presence opened the door for questions from those looking to set up their own labels and those starting out, as well as musicians who were just awe-inspired by Mogwai's longevity and progression with the times, yet again, working on another soundtrack. That's precisely what some bands strive for.
And to finish the weekend off with a sold out Kathryn Joseph gig in the Paisley Arts Centre, with Michael Timmons supporting, seemed to be quite the ticket, as it was impossible to get one.
Michael Timmons is clearly influenced by the likes of Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley, and his guitar playing is far from rhythmic, with audience members clapping half way through a song, thinking it's over. He has a delicate approach to his music and a grace, which makes him appealing to his audience.
Kathryn herself, was typically bewitching and mesmerising, stealing the show with stunning performances of tracks from the new album, From When I Wake The Want Is, the album released on Rock Action Records. Tell My Lover, We Have Been Loved By Our Mothers, and the title track had us all in the palm of her busying hands, for they never left the piano. Indulging us with tracks from her previous album, she concluding the evening with The Bird. A wonderfully haunting performance, with ounces of humour thrown in, keeping the audience more than entertained.

Methods and development of hair transplant one-third of all men over 30, and more than half of all men over 50 are affected by hereditary hair loss in Germany. (As opposed to Viacom). Although the hair loss by most men seems to be accepted, there is a growing number of men who do not want to resign themselves to. Because the exact operations when the hair loss are not yet known, there is until today, no medical treatment to reverse hair loss. A hair transplant is until today the only way to counteract the process. Hair transplantation is a relatively recent development in plastic and aesthetic surgery. In the 1930s, Japanese doctors discovered a method of hair transplantation to restore the eyebrows of war invalids. "Removing small, round skin parts, punches, and transplanted them along with the hair on bald spots. In recent months, Charles Koch has been very successful.
This was the beginning of modern hair transplantation, which evolved later in aesthetic surgery. Through innovations in technology and Performing hair transplants are today no stop-gap solution, but a valid way to deal with genetically-related hair loss. The modern technique of hair transplantation was influenced by the American physician Dr. Limmer, divided the hair from the removed strip of skin under the microscope in so called follicular units. Then these units were then transferred individual in the appropriate places (follicular unit insertion).
That was an effective action for the problem of the unnatural growth of transplanted hair, which had been formed by too many hair transplantation. At the beginning of the new millennium there was finally the next important development as one the minimally invasive option follicular unit extraction"developed. Here the follicular units must be obtained individually with hollow needles, resulting in small, barely visible scar with hair transplantation. The follicular unit insertion is a standard procedure today, and also the dissemination of follicular unit extraction is increasing every year. Amazingly breakthrough in hair transplantation and the spread of the Internet in one and the same time period covered, the 90's and 2000's. For interested persons, it is relatively easy to find information about hair transplantation today through the Internet. It was reserved to inform about relevant topics to the hair transplant 15 years professionals a variety of informative articles available online today.

Caring for outer beauty through knowledge of skin type Besides these general recommendations the key to the external beauty is to understand the difference in skin types so you can get the maximum benefit from their individualized care scheme skin. MAV identifies three different skin types based on which of the three main metabolic principles (doshas) – present in everyone, but to different degrees-is most dominant in your body. Vata Skin * Description: Vata is composed of the elements of air and space. If you have a type Vata skin, your skin is dry, thin, fine pore, delicate and cool to the touch.
When balanced, as it shines with a delicate lightness and refinement that is elegant and attractive. When skin is imbalanced vata, it will be prone to excessive dryness and may even be rough and scaly. * Potential problems: the greatest beauty challenge for vata skin is its predisposition to symptoms of early aging. Your skin may tend to develop wrinkles earlier than most because of its tendency to dryness and thinness. If digestion is not in equilibrium, the skin may begin to look dull and grayish, even in their 20's and 30's. In addition, your skin may have a tendency to disorders such as eczema and dry skin fungus. Mental stress, such as worry, fear and lack of sleep has a powerful debilitating effect on vata skin leaving lifeless.

Function Generator and Voltage Levels (INS026E)
Published: Saturday, 06 May 2017 00:00
We present two circuits based on the same configuration which can be used both to generate signals of programmed waveforms and also to generate voltage levels preset by the simple touch command or by a digital command. The circuit is based on easy-to-obtain CMOS components and can serve as the basis for a number of more complex designs.
We present an interesting basic circuit in two configurations that can serve as the basis for several practical projects.
As a function generator we can use the circuit to produce programmed waveform signals in a frequency range ranging from hertz fraction up to about 200 kHz typically.
The waveforms synthesized from rectangular pulses can be applied to low-pass filters and with this we will have different standards for use in musical instrumentation or even in the test of sound equipment.
In the monostable application or as a fixed voltage generator to each input pulse the output one of the four preset voltage levels appears.
In this configuration the circuit can be used as a digital command of dimmers, motor speed or even for the adjustment of instruments or data acquisition systems.
The circuit can be powered with voltages from 5 to 12 volts, these being the typical values of the maximum output voltage of the generated signals.
The maximum operating frequency depends on the number of levels that can be generated by getting around 200 kHz for a power supply of around 10 V.
The input of the circuit supports two configurations. We can use a monostable 555 triggered by the negative input pulse on its pin 2.
We can trigger this circuit with touch sensors or from external digital commands.
The single output pulse generated in these conditions is brought to the input of a 4017 counter which in the basic version counts up to 4.
We then have at each instant, according to the input pulse one of the 4 outputs of the 4017 taken to the high level.
These outputs are connected to a digital switch which can either be connected to the positive of the supply or can be supplied by a different external signal, for example from a second oscillator.
In the condition where the signal comes from the power itself it goes to the corresponding output to the activation of the 4017.
At the output of the 4066, set of digital keys, we have 4 trimpots which adjust the corresponding level of the signal or voltage that will appear in the output.
In the monostable version with each touch we have the production of an output voltage according to the trimpots adjustment.
In the astable version, the 555 produces a sequential switching signal for the 4017 and the 4066 key so that the outputs set in the trimpots continuously run generating a waveform as suggested in Figure 1.
Figure 1 – Steps are adjusted by P1
If the 4066 is fed by an external signal we will have the sequencing of this signal at sequential levels with the mixture to the signal generated, in which case the circuit can be used to generate waveforms or special effects.
The output voltage of the signal depends on the circuit power which can be made with voltages typically between 5 and 12 volts.
Since the 4066 CMOS switches have an ON resistance of the order of 150 Ω, the maximum output current in each output with 12 volts will be of the order of 8 mA.
The circuit in the monostable version is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2 – Monostable version
The printed circuit board for this version is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 – Printed circuit board for version 1
For the astable version we have the circuit shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 – Astable version
The corresponding printed circuit board is shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 – PCB for the astable version
In the monostable version the C1 capacitor determines the output time at the high level of the 555 and therefore the minimum interval between the command pulses.
In the stable version the capacitor C1 determines the frequency range of signals that can be generated. For the audio range from 500 to 5 000 Hz use a capacitor of 47 nF.
For very low frequencies use an electrolyte from 4.7 to 220 µF.
Trimpots are common and the other components are not critical. The 4066 integrated circuit may be replaced by the equivalent of higher internal resistance which is the 4016 provided that such a change of feature is not important in the intended application.
For a touch triggering we have the configuration shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 – Touch triggered version
ADJUSTMENT AND USE
In the monostable version the value of resistor R1 depends on the type of the signal used in the trip. Higher values ??are used with low sensitivity sensors or touch sensors.
To adjust the output voltage levels a common multimeter can be used at the appropriate range of continuous voltages.
Apply the command pulses to the input in sequence and adjust the desired voltage levels to the corresponding trimpots.
For more voltage levels the 4017 can be configured to count up to 8 and two 4066 integrated circuits with 8 output adjustment trimpots can be used.
To adjust the waveform use a low pass filter as shown in Figure 7 and connect the circuit to an oscilloscope.
Figure 7 – Filter – C1 and C2 can are 100 pF to 100 nF
The value of the capacitor will depend on the range of frequencies to be generated.
Once the operation is verified, it is only necessary to use the device independently or coupled with some other project.

Homes.com recently put RESO Standards to the test. What was the real business value of RESO Data Standards? Homes.com findings shed some serious light on this subject.
If you doubted the economic value of RESO Data Standards, and haven't adopted them, that's akin to reading by candlelight: you can do it, but you're only getting about 12.57 lumens. And long term, it's killing your eyes.
If you've gone ahead and adopted RESO Data Standards, but haven't implemented them, that's a big leap forward from reading by candlelight, so you're using a standard 60-watt bulb, that's producing about 800 lumens. Long-term, it is killing your pocketbook.
But if you have implemented RESO Data Standards, like Homes.com, you've replaced all your standard bulbs with LEDs. That means an 8-12 watt LED bulb is giving you that same 800 lumens, and that means your annual savings are adding up fast. Now we know definitively from the Homes.com Case Study, along with the work done previously by myTheo, that the key to RESO Data Standards savings merely is implementation.
Homes.com is well-known at RESO as a charter member, active volunteer and contributor to our Workgroups and Committees. In the real estate industry, Homes.com is known for its endurance and innovation during a time when technology, businesses and market conditions have been perpetually shifting. Today, Homes.com aggregates and normalizes data from hundreds of data feeds to service more than 700 real estate markets.
Homes.com worked with six MLS partners and three different MLS systems to test their new approach throughout several different environments.
Homes.com used with both Data Dictionary 1.5 and 1.6 Platinum certified RESO installations and tested RESO Web API 1.0.2 Gold, Bronze and Core certified MLSs to understand better how to deploy RESO standards in a variety of levels of RESO Certifications.
They compared the development time required to deploy a new feed using the legacy RETS approach versus the new RESO Web API approach. They wanted to see if moving from the standard light bulb to the LED light bulb would be worth the effort.
What Homes.com did for the entire real estate industry was replicate the variables that exist in the "real world" when anyone is ingesting and deploying data from several MLS markets.
Through its involvement in RESO (Homes.com is a charter member), its team members have regularly participated and contributed to the Data Dictionary Workgroup, Internet Tracking, Transport and Research & Development Workgroups. Team members were also involved in the June 2017 Clareity Developer Workshop, which allowed them to interface with some of the best and brightest technology minds in the business. Sharing ideas about how to create a more efficient real estate marketplace is key to what standards are all about, and Homes.com gets this.
Homes.com also drew on the expertise of the best practices of their data partners for deploying standardized information. Through it all, they also realized that documentation is key to success when migrating from one data process to another. Documentation became a core element of the Homes.com approach.
That's a critical reason that RESO has developed several documents and technical resources that we make available free to the developers, brokers, technology companies and MLS organizations to assist with data standards adoption and implementation.
Homes.com was able to reduce the time of launching a RETS market from 25 to 16 hours by using the new Data Dictionary offering. That's a reduction of 35% in developer's time and costs!
Now let's put that into numbers your CFO can understand: if Homes.com ends up doing this for a couple of hundred customers? Instead of a regular mapping installation costing them over 45,000 hours and nearly $7 million, for 700 MLS installations, they would save over 7,000 hours and more than $1 million.
Share those numbers with your CFO when you talk about renewing your RESO membership or attending our next conference.
As enormous the cost savings were with RESO Data Dictionary standardization for Homes.com, the RESO Web API implementation numbers are even more stunning.
The ease of using the RESO Web API helped Homes.com simplify the data ingestion and distribution process even further. Homes.com development team used to have an implementation time of 24 hours on RETS, but it only took 2 hours with the RESO Web API. for the first listing source. The second listing source took just two hours and only $300.
Again, using the equation we used to measure deploying feeds across 700 markets, the cost for the RESO Web API reduced the cost by more than 90% to map the entire country.
I hope these Homes.com findings, combined with the experience of many more forward-thinking innovators, bring those who have been resistant to standards and change out of the dark ages and into enlightenment. These are hard dollar savings and enormous development resources and time savings that now have been documented.
The Homes.com Case Study is available for download, along with our myTheo Case Study we released in January, for free now at https://www.reso.org/reso-case-studies.


American Pie sweetheart Mena Suvari was married in a private church in Vatican City, Italy, on Saturday to concert producer Simone Sestito. According to all the reports Suvari's wedding day was a storybook affair set so that Sestito's family could participate. The couple met at the Toronto Film Festival in 2007, and have reportedly been inseparable since.
Evidently Suvari had explored Rome as a possible site for the nuptials as far back as 2008 at the Rome Film Festival. Most people remember the lovely Suvari for her roles as Heather in American Pie, and Angela in the award winning American Beauty. She has starred in any number of other films, as well as being a top fashion model, and fashion designer.
By all accounts Suvari and Sestito appear to be made for one another. Suvari in particular seems enamored with her new husband's family, and the are especially vocal on how well they understand one another. Suvari was married previously to cinematographer Robert Brinkmann, but that affair ended badly in 2005.
Suvari will take to the screen again late this year in the upcoming comedy You May Not Kiss The Bride according to the press. Congratulations are in order for the happy couple. The couple also entertained guests at a private reception, but no news about the honeymoon has been released. All the best to Mena and Simone.
The lovely couple is represented by PMK-BNC.


The dwelling health marketplace in India is now anticipated to be 2 billion to 4 billion dollars each year opportunity.
What is the use of the house health aide?
Your home health aide (HHA) chief job is to deal with needs of the patients and ensuring that their comfort and requirements. Men and women elect for this treatment strategy looking in their own convenience, logistics and as an economical option. It's a noble job in which you get the advantage of having a cozy environment. Even the individuals who usually opt for HHA are the ageing people. As there was additionally an increasing prevalence of serious diseases along with the demand for superior grade post-operative and care, individuals seek the aid of both HHA, so that the patient can acquire 24×7 care when staying the conveniences of the homes as well as their family members.
It's crucial to create a excellent rapport with the patient and their family to become able to possess a working relationship together with them because the HHA needs to devote maximum moment. The HHA has to ease the individual and offer care such as bathing, grooming and dressing of the individual. If the individual demands, the HHA has to simply help in their daily exercising and some of their daily tasks also.
What would be the minimum qualifications for employing to this HHA program?
Though the minimal instruction qualification to become a home health is 8 standard pass, but it is important that you can review all of the applicable issues. At the training course, you're going to be required to analyze the simple anatomy and physiology, a subject that would be helpful in your practical experience. The pupils will also be taught about health care waste and the way it needs to be properly disposed . The whole period of this program is generally of 4 months.
You must truly have a superior adaptability in a behavioral setup and also be ready to know various clinical issues in a short span of time.
The reach of HHA in India is presently growing. As a result of change in the demography, currently, the population above age of 60 is fast rising, and it is more than 300 million folks. With diseases and illnesses, the older people occasionally finds it more comfortable to keep in your house and as your family members may not always be available or proficient in taking care of the patients, so individuals seek assistance from HHAs. Sometimes, at Tier II and Tier III cities the hospital facilities aren't at diploma or cheap, they possess an immense requirement.
