How May hopes to survive her Brexit humiliation

There is no coming back for the Prime Minister's Brexit deal from the scale of a defeat by 432 to 202, the worst defeat by a government for more than a century.
In all normal circumstances a Prime Minister would resign when suffering such a humiliation on their central policy - and a policy Theresa May herself said today would "set the future of this country for generation".
But these are neither normal times Theresa May is not a normal Prime Minister.
She said Wednesday she would fight on - subject of course to the Commons not in effect turfing her out if it backs Jeremy Corbyn's motion of no confidence in the Government that will happen tomorrow.
It is highly unlikely that May's Tory and DUP critics will vote with Corbyn to eject her and the Government.
So after that vote, if she survives, she will endeavour to explore what kind of Brexit, if any, would command support from the Commons, via meetings she will hold with her DUP partners and "senior parliamentarians from across the house".
If those meetings "yield ideas that are genuinely negotiable" - in the words of a Downing Street official - Theresa May will then explore with EU negotiators and leaders whether they would agree to a revised Brexit (which would, as a minimum, have to include a time-limited backstop - and probably much more).

How did we get to Brexit and what happens next?
My EU sources say talks cannot possibly start until May has some confidence about what would achieve a majority in the Commons.
So we are, as the PM warned we could be a few days ago, in uncharted territory.
And given the uncertainties and the scale of negotiating and legislative challenges ahead, it is now almost inconceivable the UK will be leaving the EU on 29 March - and the question is whether the delay to Brexit would be temporary or permanent.

Losing weight doesn't merely mean you should only exercise or simply avoid excess fats or carbohydrates. It also means you should take note of how you eat and how you can stick to it.
Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, you should learn to eat early. Your dinner should also not be eaten past 8 p.m.
Protein builds your body and doesn't encourage cholesterol so it's important that your breakfast is rich in protein.
Water is always a great idea in the morning. Avoid sugary food and drinks and retreat to taking water more consistently.
When you want to take food or fruits, ensure that they are rich in fibre. Food like oatmeal, banana and other fruits that help with digestion are great for weight loss. Also, food high in antioxidants are also good for you.
Your beverage intake should be strictly tea or coffee, pending the time you finally lose weight. For the time being, you should stay away from hot chocolate or sweetened chocolate drinks.
Don't rush your food so that it will digest properly. Also, ensure that you avoid choking to make it easier for you to eat slowly.
This is to ensure your food goes to the right places.


Those who own property management companies understand that marketing is not easy. A lot has to be done for such a business to flourish. Therefore, one needs to do a lot of marketing. Today, internet marketing runs everything. Nevertheless, search engine optimization is becoming popular every day.
If your business is optimized for search engine platforms, you can be sure of attracting more clients. Thus, you need to look for a good SEO company that can help your business thrive. Here are some few tips that you can use to select an SEO company.
Creativity and innovation are among the most critical things to consider when choosing an SEO company. You have to choose a company that can come up with the most creative ways of marketing and advertising. Every single day, technology continues to grow. You should invest in a company that can easily adapt to changes that take place as a result of technology. Look for a company that has a team that is ready to brainstorm about the creative and innovative techniques that they can use to make your company stand out.
The second factor that you need to consider is the company's past work. You have to know the other companies that they have worked for in the past and whether they delivered great results or not. The secret to seeing an excellent work turnout is hiring an SEO company that has a lot of experience. Most SEO companies have their portfolios on their websites. Nevertheless, you should always make a point of asking in case you find a company that has not shared its portfolio.
The quality of services that you get from an SEO company is what determines if it is good or not. You should always look for a company that understands your needs. They need to have worked with a property management company in the past and delivered exemplary results. One of the worst things that you can ever do is to settle for a company just because its prices are cheap. You need to research and learn more about the quality of services that they provide.
Finally, you must also read online reviews before you settle on the best SEO Company for your property management company. There are so many different SEO companies. Nonetheless, through reviews you can learn about the one that is worth your money and the one that you should not waste your time on. In addition to this, you can get access to other information about the reputation of the company and the cost of services.


Chesnutt is the second son of Bobby Thomas Chesnutt and Norma Jean Nicholas. He learned to love music from his father, who was a singer and record collector. Chesnutt dropped out of school after his sophomore year of high school to begin playing with his father in clubs around Southeast Texas. When he turned 17, his father began to take him to Nashville, Tennessee to begin recording. For the next ten years, Chesnutt began to record on small regional labels while he was the house band for local Beaumont nightclub Cutters. He slowly gathered a large fanbase who loved to hear his traditional style.
In 1989, several Music Row executives came to Cutters to hear Chesnutt play. In 1989, he was signed to MCA Nashville. He won the CMA Horizon Award, given annually to the most promising newcomer. He toured constantly, and his fans rewarded him by making him one of Billboard's Ten Most-Played Radio Artists of the 1990s. He has four platinum albums, five gold albums, fourteen Number One singles, and 23 Top Ten Singles. He also won the 2005 French Country Music Awards Best Album of the Year Award.
Although his first hit, 1990's "Too Cold at Home," was extremely neotraditional, subsequent songs were more mainstream Contemporary Country. Chesnutt surprised many fans in late 1998 when he recorded a cover of Aerosmith's recent hit, I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. Chesnutt's version of this song was a #1 country hit for two weeks in February 1999, and peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Mark married his wife Tracie in 1992. They have three boys, Waylon, Casey, and Cameron. The family lives in East Texas.
In June, 2007, Mark signed with Lofton Creek Records. The first single for his new label, "Rollin' With The Flow", is a cover of Charlie Rich's 1977 number 1 country hit.
Mark Chesnutt has a great number of fans in Europe, where he has toured in the last years. Two of his latest singles has been great hits in the European market, through the AGR Record Label, according to AGR and The European CMA radio Charts. "Heard in a love song" peaked at #5 in April 2007 and "That Good That Bad" peaked at #4 the week of June 22, 2007.

OG v AG [2020] EWFC 52
A financial remedies case taking into consideration the value of a business which will be affected by a no-deal Brexit, COVID-19 and the husband having set up a rival company.
This case concerned cross-applications by a husband (OG) and a wife (AG) for financial remedies following divorce. This was a long marriage (25 years) producing two children, aged 25 and 10. During the marriage, the parties set up a successful ducting business, 'X'. The husband worked predominantly on the production / selling and R&D side of the business and the wife predominantly on the finance / administration side. At the time of the final hearing X was valued at c. £13.8m. The trading element was valued at just under £4m. The parties had also amassed a domestic and international property portfolio in both their sole and joint names as well as in the name of X which produced rental income.
In November 2018, the husband resigned as a director of X. He stopped working for X in 2019. In February 2019, another ducting company 'AB' was incorporated. Its shareholders were the husband's father and two of his two close friends. AB was loaned significant funds by a company 'TT' incorporated in Dubai which at the same time the husband had loaned equivalent amounts to, those funds coming from sales of matrimonial property in Dubai. The husband was found to be the real owner of AB [45] – [51]. The funds loaned to TT by the husband as a result of sales of matrimonial property were added back (c. £900,000).
Covid-19 / Brexit discount
A novel issue for the court was how to deal with the asserted impact of Covid-19 and a no-deal Brexit on X. In respect of Covid-19, X was providing ducting to a range of companies impacted by the global crisis. In respect of Brexit, a significant part of the the business of X is with customers sited in the EU and is presently transacted on a tariff-free basis. As a result, if no trade agreement is reached between the UK and the EU by 31 December 2020 then there will undoubtedly be adverse consequences for X.
The wife argued that a 10% discount should be applied to both the trading and surplus assets value of X because of the economic downturn caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the likely future disruption to be experienced on account of Brexit. The SJE who valued X agreed that a discount should be applied on due to these risks but declined to provide a figure. Mr Justice Mostyn applied a 10% discount to the value of X on the basis of Covid-19 and Brexit but only in respect of the trading value and not the value of the surplus assets.
Competitor business discount
The wife argued that the value of X (including surplus assets) be discounted by 40% because the husband had set up competitor business AB. The SJE's was that where a seller of a business refused to enter into a non-compete clause and was on the production / selling side of the business, he would likely advise them to seek a 20-40% discount in the asking price. Mr Justice Mostyn applied a 30% discount to the value due to the husband having set up AB. This discount was again only to the trading aspect of the value and not to the surplus assets.
The wife argued that the total matrimonial assets, after the discounts relating to Covid / Brexit and AB were applied to X, should be divided two-thirds to her and one-third to the husband. The wife argued that such a departure from equality was justified on the basis of the husband's conduct: his extensive non-disclosure; setting up competitor AB; and fraudulently altering emails.
Mr Justice Mostyn considered the four scenarios in which conduct can rear its head within financial remedy proceedings:
i. Personal misconduct during the marriage or after which will only be taken into account in rare circumstances (Miller v Miller [2006] UKHL 24, [2006] 2 AC 618) and where there is a financial impact of such conduct;
ii. Add-back jurisprudence where in the rare case dissipation is clear and obvious;
iii. Litigation misconduct which may result in a litigant being severely penalised in costs but will only very rarely affect the substantive disposition;
iv. Failure to provide full and frank disclosure where the court is able to draw inferences with respect to the process of computation rather than distribution;
Mostyn J considered that the departure from equality sought by the wife was disproportionate and untenable. The 30% discount applied to the trading element of X as a result of AB would fall solely on the husband due to his conduct (£1,183,500). The husband would also be sanctioned by way of a costs order. However, Mostyn J declined to order the departure from equality sought by the wife to reflect the court's indignation at the husband's conduct during the proceedings. This would amount to a discount based on morality where the court should only apply sanction for conduct where it is financially measurable.
The parties ran up around £1 million in costs. This, Mr Justice Mostyn found, was mostly referable to the husband's litigation conduct. However, the wife had also failed to negotiate openly and in a reasonable way after the financial picture had become largely clear post PTR (ref: para 4.4 of FPR PD28A). Mr Justice Mostyn said in respect of the wife's failure:
"It is important that I enunciate this principle loud and clear: if, once the financial landscape is clear, you do not openly negotiate reasonably, then you will likely suffer a penalty in costs. This applies whether the case is big or small, or whether it is being decided by reference to needs or sharing."
Mostyn J divided the wife's costs into two periods: (i) the shortly after the PTR; (ii) the costs between PTR and final hearing. The wife's costs in period (i) were c. £412,000. The judge had formed the view during the parties' evidence that both were difficult and confrontational characters. As a result, he did not accept that but for the husband's litigation conduct that this case would have settled. He considered in any event it would have gone to final hearing. He reduced the wife's costs in period (i) as follows:
a. Reduction of £100,000 representing the estimated "normal" costs that would accrue to such a case and to which the normal rule at FPR r.28.3(5) would apply;
b. Reduction of £40,000 as estimated costs in a s. 37 MCA application made by the wife with respect to the Dubai assets during the proceedings which was not ultimately pursued.
c. Reduction of £10,000 to represent a sanction for the wife's own non-disclosure.
The husband was ordered to pay 90% of the wife's costs (reduced per a – c above) in period (i) on an indemnity basis (£235,626).
In respect of period (ii), Mr Justice Mostyn agreed with the wife that rule at FPR r.28.3(5) should not apply and that the husband's misconduct in the first period had contaminated the second period and also that the husband had continued to be dishonest about the ownership of AB to avoid the competitor discount being applied. For this period, the husband was ordered to pay 90% of half of the wife's costs on an indemnity basis. However, from this sum Mostyn J went on to discount £50,000 in light of the wife's unreasonable and untenable open negotiation stance in this second period (PD 28A paragraph 4.4 applied).
Mr Justice Mostyn considered that all other things apart, this was a paradigm case for the equal sharing principle to apply to. The marriage was long, and all the property was matrimonial. With reference to the contributions that the parties had each played within the family business, he considered these to be incommensurable: Miller v Miller at [150]; Bendix Autolite Corp v Midwesco Enterprises Inc (1988) 486 US 888 at 897.
Mostyn J divided the non-business non-pension assets 50/50. The judge deducted from the value attributable to the husband's 50% share in X (£5,353,821) the 30% discount in the trading value of X due to AB a costs sanction of £278,020 (45% of the wife's costs). The husband received in total £7,316,094 (including pension assets) or 44.7% of the total assets.
The departure from equality was £869,741. This sum, Mr Justice Mostyn explained, was the price that the husband had to pay for his conduct in setting up a competitive business and conducting the litigation so abysmally. He stated that he hoped it will serve as a lesson to any future litigant who is tempted to behave in the same way.

Latina Lista: News from the Latinx perspective > Local News > Southwest > AZ bill would make it easier for felons to get back right to vote
AZ bill would make it easier for felons to get back right to vote
Latina Lista
inLocal News, Southwest, zNew Headline
By Caitlin Cruz
Cronkite News Service
PHOENIX – Saying that voting can help former felons reintegrate into everyday life, a state lawmaker wants to make it easier for them to get back that right.
"I think that people that have served their time and paid their debt to society that it's important for them to get their most fundamental right – constitutional right – the right to vote, to get it back," said Rep. Martín J. Quezada, D-Phoenix.
He authored HB 2132, which would restore the right to vote to a person who has been convicted of two or more felonies after completing probation or receiving an absolute discharge from the Arizona Department of Corrections. The latter requires completing a prison term and parole and paying restitution in full.
At present, members of that group must apply to vote again, a process that varies by county.
"The right to vote being so fundamental … it seems automatic restoration of that right in particular is critical to making us a better-functioning society," Quezada said.
First-time felons currently get back the right to vote automatically after completing probation or receiving an absolute discharge and paying fines and restitution. The bill would allow restoration before full payment of fines and restitution.
"A lot of time, the payment of fines is also prohibitive, especially with people who are of limited resources, which they're going to be after being released from prison," Quezada said.
Donna Leone Hamm, a retired lower court judge and founder of the nonprofit organization Middle Ground Prison Reform, also sees voting as a bridge for felons to rejoin society.
"I can't think of a better way for people to learn how to appropriately change the world and change what you don't like than to vote and to know that your vote counts," she said.
Hamm said she understands that voting may not be the top priority for a newly released prisoner.
"Still, being allowed to register to vote and to participate in democracy is a way of demonstrating to an inmate that you have paid your debt and we accept you back into the process," she said.
Her husband, James J. Hamm, who served time in Arizona for a drug-related homicide, received his absolute discharge in 2001. He registered to vote the same day.
"For me, personally, participation is significant," he said. "It just keeps putting little pillars in that bridge between the past and the future."
But Roger Clegg, president and general counsel of the Falls Church, Va.-based Center for Equal Opportunity, a right-leaning think tank, said voting restrictions are put in place for a reason.
"We have a minimum objective standard of responsibility, trustworthiness and commitment to our laws before we trust people with a role in self-governance," he said.
Clegg said any kind of voting restoration should be on a case-by-case basis that involves a formal and "more meaningful" process similar to naturalization.
"I think the way you welcome people back into society is not giving them their right vote automatically. It's something earned," he said.
Alessandra Soler, executive director of American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, said felon disenfranchisement is the "antithesis to rehabilitation."
"We need to change the law so (voting restoration) can be automatic so once people complete their probation, once they're no longer in the custody of the Department of Corrections, their voting rights should be automatically restored," she said.
Soler said voting restoration shouldn't be contingent on the complete payment of fines and restitution.
"We're not saying people shouldn't pay their obligations. All we're saying is it shouldn't be tied to the restoration of their voting rights," she said. "I think it's important once people served their time it should be automatic."
HB 2132 was assigned to the House Judiciary Committee but had yet to receive a hearing.
Quezada sponsored a similar bill last year. He noted that it doesn't tackle the restoration of any other rights, such as owning firearms.
"I've moved forward with this bill and other bills dealing with past felons because I believe it's important for us as a society that these people become successful in their lives post their criminal sentences," he said. "After they are released back into society, we need to do whatever we can to help them be successful."
About HB 2132:

• Key Provision: To automatically restore voting rights to felons by making requirements less stringent.

Splendour in the Grass 2016 Festival Review: The Top 20 Performances
Sigur Rós, The Cure, and Courtney Barnett kept the Australian festival's namesake alive
Lior Phillips
July 25, 2016 | 5:00pm ET
Honey, we're not in Kansas anymore. Looking around the grounds of Splendour in the Grass, there was no denying where you were. There was the Miss Saigon karaoke, the Moroccan bar, a tipi forest, a German sausage stand, a taco bar, and a Thai massage place, symbols of the influences and inspirations that have fed into the melange of Australian culture.
Granted, the country takes quite some time to get to from most of the world, but the indomitable spirit of the people brought all these various cultural touchstones under their umbrella. That extended to the lineup as Australian artists received the devoted reaction of returning heroes.
Rather than the massive waving flags from the various nations in attendance (the kind of thing you'd see at any European festival), there were scores of fit, healthy, and attractive Aussies. The beachside town of Byron Bay bred a particular hippie strain as well, complete with tanned surfers, drum circles, hula hoopers, and many a bare-naked body.
There was an undeniable glow to the entire weekend, evident from the surprisingly boiling winter weather during the afternoon all the way through to the beaming smiles of the fans. Even for a few days, it was nice to stomp down yellow dust roads and drench my curiosity in a hefty dose of Australian spirit.
20. Banoffee
There was plenty of buzz in the air for Melbourne's own Martha Brown, aka Banoffee, and sure enough, she felt all the local love, too. "I'm sure you've all come here with your best friend," she said, mid-nod. "My best friend is in the audience, so go say hi if you can." While I never made it to say hello to her BFF, Banoffee started to feel like a close friend by the set's end. Her indie R&B pop thrills were the perfect complement to a cool Saturday afternoon, Brown tweaking her electronics and wringing her mercurial stage presence through the entire emotional gamut.
19. Michael Kiwanuka
A little thing like not having any instruments couldn't keep British soul singer Michael Kiwanuka down. "Heathrow Airport is a mess at the moment," he shrugged, more bemused by the situation than frustrated. "All of our equipment didn't make it, so we had to borrow. Just bear with us." However, once he and his band broke into powerful songs like "Black Man in a White World" and others from July's Love & Hate, it was hard to consider any equipment being involved at all, the songs instead pouring straight out of his heart.
18. In Loving Memory of Szymon
Tragically, Australian singer-songwriter Szymon took his own life in 2012 at the young age of 23, after a few years struggling with depression. Only three years after his death did the beautiful Tigersapp find international release, bringing the world closer to the songs that leapt from his soul. A tribute band was formed to further celebrate his life and art, and while festival sets usually jump to the big and bombastic, their performance at Splendour in the Grass was one of the most heartfelt I've seen. Featuring guest appearances from members of Gang of Youths, Ball Park Music, Little May, and more, the crowd huddled together, swaying in harmony as if all minds, hearts, and bodies desired to be connected — both those in the crowd and on the stage. A moment unlike any I'd seen at a festival, and a touching tribute to a musician lost too soon.
17. The Strokes
The Strokes are one of the only headliners in this godforsaken world that crowds will allow for a late start. They're also the kind of rare animal that can get away with awkward banter and a lack of connection. ("So, festivals eh?" Julian Casablancas offered at one point.) But when you've got the catalog that the classic New York garage rockers have, the ability to run through "12:51", "Reptilia", and "Is This It" with barely a split second to take a breath, any extra-personable banter or timeliness comes as icing on a very soggy, possibly undercooked cake. The massive crowd heaved and screamed through every song, even keeping the energy up for "Drag Queen" and "Threat of Joy" off this year's new EP, Future Present Past. It all ended as it needed to, with a massive party along to "Last Nite", the crowd bursting before they had to suffer their way home in the long cold night.
16. Band of Horses
"Thanks so much y'all! Shit!" smiled Ben Bridwell, proving that you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy. The Band of Horses vocalist brought his South Carolina charm in equal dose with the doughty indie rock. Those two factors coalesced most sweetly on tunes like "Laredo" and "The Great Salt Lake", the band climbing massive heights with unbridled energy. Ever the celebratory type, Bridwell made sure to congratulate Splendour on its 16th birthday and continue to keep the party atmosphere going, even when the heartfelt songs demanded tears splashing all over the show.
15. Beach Slang
"Rock and roll deserves to be drunk messy and fucked up!" Beach Slang's James Alex explained. "And we want to be the torchbearers." After seeing their Splendour set, it's hard to imagine better representatives, the Philadelphia quartet bringing their heartland indie punk to the masses. As if to further ingratiate themselves with the locals, guitarist Ruben Gallego wore an Australian sports jersey. The crowd dug it, the dust from their moshing and the baking sun rising toward the sky. Alex (the self-professed love-child of Marc Bolan, Brian Jones, and Harry Potter) led the way, equal parts rocking sincerity and sincere rocking.
14. Fat White Family
Goddammit Lias Kaci Saoudi must not like his clothes, huh. By the end of his band's set, the Fat White Family frontman had fully disrobed, continuing to lead the way on the London sextet's gritty post-punk tunes with everything hanging out — his junk laying on the stage like roadkill. At least he checked his prostate health while he was at it, making the sandwiches thrown into the audience earlier in the set seeming pretty tame by comparison. Lest you believe that their set relied exclusively on antics, the Family also tore through songs from this year's Songs for Our Mothers with surprising cohesion considering their chaotic predilections. Fat White Family may not be for the faint of heart, but those who either miss GG Allin or love sharp-edged jams stuck around for their … err … stripped down antics.
13. King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard are the type of band that have played enough frenetic psych rock sets to go so wild that it seems they don't even know that anyone else exists. They're so locked into the energy that each musician seems to be in their own world, attuned to some mystic power. And then their songs shift on a dime, a feat of musical unity that shows just how interconnected Ambrose Kenny Smith and co. have become over years of incessant touring. Touring on the back of Nonagon Infinity, the Melbourne outfit's set looped and linked, collapsing in on itself in a psychedelic fit.
12. Little May
Little May's brand of indie rock and folk has built a steadily growing fanbase, particularly in their hometown of Sydney and Australia in general, but expanding throughout the world rapidly. Their stature somewhat the opposite of which their name suggests. They're doing that meticulously, too, making sure every element of their music works together. And, as if their well-drawn formula for nearly universal musical appeal weren't enough, they craft their sets with enough majesty and arc to fit into a Hollywood mega-smash. "We're quite nerdy when it comes to our setlist," they shrugged. And the soft sweetness with which it was said belies their quiet charm, but also the leaps and bounds that Little May can make once they gain more confidence and experience.
11. Gang of Youths
Throughout the years, I'd seen underpants thrown on stage in plenty of TV and film parodies of concerts, but I'd never seen it done in person — at least not until Gang of Youths' set at the Amphi stage. But then the Sydney indie rockers were in the mood for a little celebrating, David Le'aupepe putting the undergarments on his head and acting like an ersatz crooner, fitting their slinky rhythms and sensual energy. Their brand of indie rock fits into the poppy, palatable realm of Foals and Coldplay, but that doesn't mean they were there to play it calm and safe. (Guitarist Jung Kim's wobbly shout about being too drunk made that clear.) The combined raw energy and people-pleasing grooves made Gang of Youth's set another in a crowd of Australian favorites.

Lying in the one part of Uganda covered in extensive acacia woodland, Mburo has markedly different fauna to other parks and reserves. Zebra, buffalo, Uganda Kob, giraffe, impala, oribi, Defassa waterbuck, leopard, hippo, hyena, topi, reedbuck and plenty of other species abound in this beautiful park; this is the best place in the country to see the eland antelope. During the afternoon we take a boat trip, followed by evening game drive, time permitting. The five lakes within the park attract hippos, crocodiles and a variety of waterbirds, while fringing swamps house the sitatunga antelope and the papyrus gonelek. Mburo is the closest national park to Kampala and offers a refreshing stopover when travelling to or from the western parks and reserves.
This morning we have an early departure for Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. We drive south west where winding roads lead through tiered agricultural lands taking up high into the mountain gorillas' habitat. We spend the night on the misty mountains in anticipation of our tracking adventure.
Rise with the sun for breakfast, followed by a meeting with a ranger guide before setting off into the sanctuary and the peak experience of gorilla trekking Uganda. The rain forest offers a dramatic steeply forested landscape and is incredibly dense, criss-crossed by numerous animal trails. Your trek's time and terrain vary according to the movements of the marvelous mountain gorillas. Tracking these gentle giants is rated as one of Africa's best wildlife watching opportunities. Other mammals may include the rare golden monkey, buffalo, elephant, black-fronted duiker, bushbuck, leopard, and giant forest hog. By the time you return to camp your memories will be embedded in your mind forever.
This morning, proceed to Queen Elizabeth National Park's Ishasha sector to look for tree-climbing lions. In the afternoon, we take the boat launch for a 2 hour cruise on the Kazinga Channel where hippos, crocodiles, elephants and buffalo will be in great abundance either at the waters edge, or along side your boat! This trip passes through possibly the highest concentration of hippos and offers an excellent platform for photography, bird watching and game viewing. The prolific bird life is colourful and stupendous with well over 550 resident species.
After breakfast we head off for a guided trek through Kyambura Gorge in search of man's closest relative, the chimpanzee. The sounds of the chimps carry through the forest very clearly, so approaching and watching these creatures in their natural habitat is a fantastic wildlife viewing experience. The forest is also famous for other primate species that include black and white colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, L'hoest guenon, vervet monkeys, and baboon. Drive onwards to Kampala, through Fort Portal, arriving early evening.
This is a strenuous activity and one should be physically fit to enjoy this safari. Professional guides will accompany groups but no porters are available to carry personal belongings. Minimum age is fifteen years. Anyone with signs of communicable disease will not be allowed to trek.
While possession of a gorilla permit is a guarantee of trekking, it cannot be a guarantee of sighting. However, the chance of sighting is high, 95% or more. Maximum time allowed with the gorillas is one hour at a minimum distance of 7 meters.
No flash photography is allowed and fast film is therefore recommended (minimum 400-1600 ASA).
Personal DVD recorders are allowed. Bring film and batteries from Kampala. Special arrangements need to be made for professional film makers and filming permits are required for commercial photography and filming.
For Gorilla Tracking, we strongly recommend a breathable and lightweight rain jacket or poncho, a warm jacket or fleece for overcast days and evening, long-sleeved shirt and trousers, sturdy waterproof walking boots (seasoned or well worn footwear), leather gardening type gloves, sunscreen, cap or sun hat, sunglasses, insect repellent, comfortable day pack for carrying water and minimum amount of personal items.

One of the main worries over a slowing Chinese economy is the proliferation of its shadow banking industry, where non-bank lenders such as hedge funds and special investment vehicles grant loans to companies without regulatory oversight. It is feared that hidden debt levels and unrestrained risk taking may trigger a far-reaching crisis in a severe slowdown.
In Singapore, two forms of unregulated shadow industries are thriving as well, one also related to alternative lending and the other of a very different kind. And we saw these past two weeks how both government action and inaction could fuel their growth further.
In an attempt to rein in debt levels and prepare the country for a rising interest rates environment, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced last week a tightening of rules on credit card and unsecured debt lending. Borrowers will no longer be able to rely on new credit cards for additional financing as banks will have to assess their overall debt limit across lenders. Other rules include loans capped to salary levels and maximum due periods before restrictions on unsecured lending set in.
The MAS rules are well intentioned and serve as a timely reminder to individuals to keep a close watch on spending. For those already in difficulty, however, it won't make existing problems suddenly disappear. When borrowers can't get help from financial institutions, the next resort is to turn to moneylenders not under the purview of MAS. This recent phenomenon of moneylenders and pawnshops invading HDB heartlands has already been noted, and Reuters even reported on pawnshops hitting paydirt across Southeast Asia as living costs spiral out of control. They can expect a further boost in business once banks get their lending arms tied by MAS.
Recognising the potential problem with the 200 or so licensed moneylenders it currently oversees, the Ministry of Law is looking to align with MAS on such rules. All well and good then, except that this would only drive desperate individuals further toward our very own "shadow banking" industry that neither government body could control — loan sharks.
Try telling your not-so-friendly neighbourhood Ah Long that he really shouldn't be lending any more money to the fellow who has busted all his credit limits.
In a week where we celebrate Lee Kuan Yew's 90th birthday, we marvel at the safe and prosperous country he has built where serious crimes such as armed robberies, rioting, kidnapping and drug peddling have practically been wiped off the streets. Yet it must baffle every law-abiding citizen why our enforcement agencies just can't seem to get a handle on illegal loan shark activities. News reports on amateur runners caught terrorising households on behalf of faceless lenders continue to be as prevalent and ubiquitous as the signature "O$P$" marks they leave behind on HDB flat corridors and lift landings. Are penalties not strong enough as deterrence?
Bad as it is, at least it is a problem the government recognises.
The other shadow industry may not cripple households or the economy when hard times befall, but is just as worrying — if only because the government doesn't regard it a problem at all. Responding to a query in Parliament on the impact of the private tuition industry on social mobility, Senior Minister of State for Education Indranee Rajah insisted that Singapore's education system is "run on the basis that tuition is not necessary".
Such a statement comes across as plain denial in the face of a "shadow education" industry, as Nominated MP Janice Koh called it, that is estimated to be reaching the billion dollar mark. Are our schools are not doing a good enough job then to render tuition unnecessary, or is Ms Indranee out of touch with reality? Either way, it does not look good on the minister.
It is easy to suggest that parents have a choice in not sending kids to tuition, but much harder to have the conviction needed to believe that one's child can get by without such help. Parents can hardly be faulted if they think it's better to be safe than sorry. After all, the job landscape in Singapore is not known to be particularly forgiving to those who fall by the wayside. Making matters worse this week is the signal the government implicitly sent in how they view education; in explaining the compensation given to the family of a dead prisoner, the Ministry of Home Affairs implied that one's life is less valuable in monetary terms if one does not complete the O-Levels.
When the vast majority of students take private tuition, we can choose to blame it on all Singaporean parents being irrational and kiasu, or take a hard look at systemic problems in schools that have created such an environment. The former is no doubt true to a large extent, but it really does nobody any favour if the government refuses to acknowledge the latter. The first step to fixing any problem is to accept that there is one.
If not, the problem will continue to grow happily in the shadows, out of sight and out of mind. Just don't be too shocked should it burgeon out of control one day, and then tell us you didn't see it coming.
Interesting link you have drawn here between money lending and tuition. It's really time we put a stop to the money-grubbing bloodsuckers. And don't even get me started on the Ah Longs.
Interesting point – why has generally crime-free Singapore been unable to stamp out loan sharks? A head-scratcher if there's ever been one.
I'm not saying that tuition is anything like loan sharks. Hope it didn't come across so! Just occurred to me that these are both "shadow" industries that are growing.

Europe Markets
Europe trades mostly lower as crude climbs
Published: June 5, 2006 at 11:47 a.m. ET
Sarah Turner
Energy stocks, BAA offer indexes some support
LONDON (MarketWatch) -- European shares traded mostly lower on Monday as a jump in oil prices weighed on many sectors of the market.
The German DAX Xetra 30 index (1876534) fell 1.2% at 5,621, while the French CAC-40 (1804546) dropped 0.9% at 4,916.
However, the U.K. FTSE 100 index (UKX) ended up by less than a tenth of a percentage point, at 5,767, as higher oil prices lent some support to the British benchmark. See London Markets.
Shares of oil-exploration and production companies, such as Royal Dutch Shell RDS.A, +0.87% (RDSA) and BP BP, +0.02% (BP), traded higher after Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned the U.S. that it may halt oil shipments if the country -- the world's fourth-largest oil exporter -- is threatened over its nuclear program, according to media reports.
"If you make a wrong move regarding Iran, definitely the energy flow in this region will be seriously endangered," he said on state television.
Crude-oil futures rose as high as $73.84, though were off highs of the day as European stock markets closed.
U.S. stocks got off to a weak start, also pressured by the rising oil prices. See Market Snapshot.
Although European stock exchanges are open in most Continental and Scandinavian countries, Monday was a public holiday in many markets. Volumes were on the light side.
Automakers, whose sales tend to decline as energy prices climb, were hit by the rise in crude, with shares of Renault (013190) and DaimlerChrysler DCX, (710000) lower.
The euro also advanced, up 0.2% at $1.2951, putting pressure on exporters such as Siemens (723610) SI, -22.12%.
M&A in the news
Turning to the latest in mergers and acquisitions, British airport operator BAA (BAA) shares increased 1% at 914 pence, as bid speculation continued to build ahead of a midnight Monday deadline U.K. time for Spain's Grupo Ferrovial (016260101) to improve its 9.5 billion-pound bid.
BAA said in late trading that it's in talks with both Ferrovial and an unnamed bidder.
Also, Commonwealth Bank of Australia said on Monday said its asset-management business has joined the Goldman Sachs-led consortium that is currently reviewing a possible bid for BAA. See full story.
Meanwhile, Swedish telecom-equipment maker Ericsson ERICY (000010865) declined 1.7% after it said that it has agreed to buy software maker Netwise AB for SEK300 million ($41.7 million).
Ericsson said the offer is worth SEK60 a share and is at a 22% premium to Friday's closing price of SEK49 a share. Netwise (000055817) jumped 21% to SEK59.25 a share.
And stock exchanges were back in the news as French bank BNP Paribas (013110), an adviser to the Euronext (005777) on its proposed merger with the NYSE Group Inc. NYX, said it's not sure whether to back the deal or not. See full story.
Deutsche Boerse (581005) has said it's still interested in a Euronext deal, even after the agreed NYSE deal.
Euronext ended 0.8% higher in Paris.
Staying with cross-border M&A moves, utility groups Suez (012052), Enel (312836) and Gaz de France (GAZ) were all lower.
Italy's Enel EN, +3.30% is strengthening its efforts to persuade the European Commission to deny a Gaz de France-Suez tie-up on competition grounds, the daily Le Figaro reported.
The remarkable thing about President George W. Bush wasn't that he was a horrible chief executive; it's that he was horrible in so many ways.


A 28-piece animal matching game that teaching young children patterns, colours and shapes! Line up each pair or set each of these charming rubberwood dominoes on its side and watch them tumble down. Hours of fun! Comes with a bag for easy storage.
Really nice game. Had to look up basic dominos instructions online though as they are not included. My 4 year old had no trouble catching on to it and loves it. Nice that it is stored in a bag and not a box that will get crushed like a lot of other games.
Thank you for your product review, Amanda. We're happy to hear that your child had fun playing with the Animal Dominoes Game! Enjoy!

Q: Disabling a control with Pixate Freestyle I have a UIButton with the following css
button {
    size: 50 100;
    color: #FF0000;
}

But I want to disable the button based on a style like maybe:
button {
    size: 50 100;
    color: #FF0000;
    enabled: true;
}

Does anyone know how to accomplish or add an extension method to enable this?

A: I don't think there are enabled or disabled pseudo-classes available for UIButton. What you could potentially do instead is detect the button state and assign a styleClass dynamically like this:
#import <PixateFreestyle/PixateFreestyle.h>

UIButton *button = [UIButton new];

if(button.enabled){
  button.styleClass = @"myButton";
}else{
  button.styleClass = @"myButtonDisabled";
}

...and then your CSS would be:
.myButton {
    /* Default button styles */
}
.myButtonDisabled {
    /* Disabled button styles */
}

I hope that helps. Good luck.

Top 5 Best Irons for Amatuer Golfers
01 Callaway Golf Men's Strata Complete Set (Best Overall)
Why It Stands Out to Us
The Callaway Strata is one of the best beginner-friendly golf sets. With a variety of clubs, this set can assist you in enhancing your golf ball maneuvering techniques. The lofts on these irons are higher than that of an average golf set that makes them more forgiving and much easier to hit consistently.
The pocket-friendly Strata also comes with a simplistic design that suits players of all ages. No wonder it clinched the top spot on this list.
Our Experience With the Callaway Strata
Great lightweight design for beginner to intermediate players and we didn't have any denting, breaking, or other design flaws except for the driver. But some may find the set too light
Callaway uses both graphite and steel shafts for the different clubs of the set. Graphite has been used in only the fairway woods and the driver. This is understandable because the set is designed for beginner golfers who'd find steel shafts easier to swing.
With a generous 12° loft angle, the driver sends balls flying high and long. But it dented fast, which was very disappointing and we had to look for a new driver soon. Many other users also had the same complain and Callaway really needs to work on it
The hybrid is great with a 26° loft that makes it easy to hit balls off the tee. Our players misplaced their swings several times and hit the turf with it but it seemed sturdy enough to withstand miss-hits.
The well-designed 3 wood offers a 15.5° loft angle that makes it easy to hit more greens. It can be used to improve your off-tee shots and the overall technique.
The 6-9 irons are easy to use. With loft angles up to 42°, they are very forgiving. Also, the steel shaft makes them heavy enough for enhanced accuracy.
A pitching wedge is included in the set. This 35" long, 46° lofted club does its job well on the fairway.
The putter is also great in terms of quality with perfection written all over it
You get two headcovers and a bag in the package. With a sturdy strap, the bag's easy to carry even with all the equipment inside. We were happy with the number of pockets and the space was also well-organized.
No other color options available
The grips on the shafts tend to slip sometimes
The driver dented within a few weeks of purchase
What Could Be Improved
Graphite shafts could be used in all of the clubs
Grips could be more comfortable
A sand wedge could be included in the set
Consider wearing gloves since the grips of some of the clubs may slip sometimes.
Size: 12-piece set
Available for: Men
Shaft Material: Steel, graphite
Effective & efficient design
Durable clubs
Great for beginner to intermediate players
No sand wedges
Driver might dent sooner than expectation
02 STRATA Women's Golf Packaged Sets (Best for Female Golfers)
Callaway's Strata for Women comes in four different variants with 11-16 pieces of equipment in each set. This elegant-looking set has some fascinating game-improvement features. With lightweight shafts and a variety of loft angles, all the clubs offer great forgiveness that you need as an ameteur player. This really is a nice choice for any lady golfer who is eager to improve her game.
Our Experience With the Strata Women's Golf Set
Straight out of the box, we loved the aesthetics and the overall build quality of the set. We tested all four available variants of the set and they all performed well.
The lightweight graphite shafts provide a comfortable grip and are well designed for improved and faster swings.
The titanium driver impressed us with its sturdy feel. With a 10.5° loft, it has amazing forgiveness. Also, the big enough MOI sweet spot makes it a stunning game improvement driver that deserves your attention.
You will love the hybrid too. We hit about a hundred practice balls with it during our testing session and most of the time we were able to make perfect contact with the ball. It had a good amount of weight that felt good in the hand.
In fact, all the clubs of this set have a suitable amount of sweet spots. The variety of loft angles in the clubs make this a versatile set – perfect for beginner to intermediate female golfers.
The bag worked great in accommodating and transporting the whole set in an organized and convenient manner.
The set doesn't have a lot of color options that can be an issue for women who prefer low profile golf equipment.
The bag didn't have small pockets suitable for tees and other small items. We had to keep the tees with the balls that looked messy.
After a few weeks of use, we started noticing scuff marks on some of the clubheads.
Callaway could add stealthier variants of the set
The bag could have different slots for each club. This would have made the transportation even more organized.
The build quality of the shafts could be improved because many users broke their shafts after a while of use.
We missed the 5 iron so much
Available for: Ladies
Shaft Material: Graphite
Amazing game improvement features
Easy to transport
Lacks color options
5 iron not included
03 Wilson Sporting Goods Golf Men's Set (Best for Men)
Many of the world's top pro golfers prefer Wilson equipment for good reason. This set has a premium feel to it that's usually expected from the most expensive golf sets. Except for the clean and classy looks, they also come with a wide range of clubs with a variety of loft angles for all kinds of shots.
With big sweet spots and well-balanced weight, these clubs make it extremely easy to maneuver the ball. Also, the bag that comes with the set is premium quality and assures an easy and organized transportation of the whole set. If you're looking for a starter-level golf set for men, this is the one you should go for.
Our Experience With the Wilson Men's and Teen Complete Golf Set
The overall design and build quality looked premium. We used every available variant of these golf sets and each of them offered the same quality in terms of design and material.
Wilson used both graphite and steel shafts in these sets. No matter which material was used, all the shafts looked great in quality. They attached to the clubhead perfectly and felt sturdy during our time with the set.
The driver coupled with a graphite shaft offered great strength and accuracy. The weight was nicely balanced and accurately put to the spots where it was needed. With a 10.5° loft, this club makes it easy for any level of golfers to maneuver the ball with perfection.
With a big sweet spot, the fairway wood seemed very forgiving. After hitting hundreds of balls with the iron, we can assure you that this club is very efficient in sending the balls a long distance.
Along with the driver and the wood, the hybrid also uses a graphite shaft. Because of the generous loft angle, this can be the perfect hybrid club for newbie golfers.
The 6, 7, 8, and 9 irons were cavity-backed and nicely balanced. These are the clubs that the beginners usually struggle with. Wilson engineered these irons to have a good amount of sweet spots, making them easy to connect to the balls. Also, the steel shafts enhance accuracy and control big time.
The wedges and the putter were also great in quality. We used all the clubs and took thousands of swings at practice balls. We hit the green on multiple occasions and noticed that the clubs were sturdy enough to withstand miss-hits.
We loved the material and design of the bag. It offered organized transportation of all of the equipment. We were surprised with how light the bag felt even with the full set inside it
The three head covers worked perfectly. The quality material of these covers assures the safety of the clubheads from unintended damages and scratches.
This set didn't have a 5 iron. Though it's not a big issue, it still might be a red flag for some golfers.
Grips on some of the clubs weren't aligned. Also, the grips sometimes twist while using.
Wilson could have added some more pockets on the exterior of the bag for storing smaller items like the tees.
A 5 iron could be added to the set.
Size: Regular carry
Material: Blend
Forgiving clubs
Suitable shafts for each club
Not suitable for advanced golfers
04 Pinemeadow Golf Men's Excel EGI Hybrid Club Graphite Hand
Coming from a company that has been in the business for ages, the Pinemeadow Excel is an amazing hybrid club that's available in 8 variants. It offers a wide range of loft angles and suits almost all levels of golfers in every way.
Also, this gem presents a huge sweet spot and great forgiveness that makes miss-hits less likely. Despite coming with great features, it doesn't fall too heavy on the wallet. If you're looking for a good hybrid to enhance your skills, you can definitely go for this one.
Our Experience With the Pinemeadow Excel Hybrids
We loved the overall design of these clubs. The manufacturers kept it simple and they seemed perfect for players of all levels.
The graphite shafts were extremely lightweight and offered a fast swing. Coupled with the stainless steel head, these shafts seemed to have enhanced the overall performance of the clubs. Despite being lightweight, they felt very sturdy.
We used all 8 available clubheads of this hybrid. All of them presented a big sweet spot and were equally forgiving.
We tested their performance with and without tees. We can assure you that these hybrids can be amazing in enhancing your technique and accuracy.
The weight distribution on these clubs was spot on. Especially, the clubhead seemed extremely well balanced and the manufacturers put extra weight exactly in the spots where it was needed.
All the variants had different loft angles ranging from 19-45 degrees. The manufacturers made it easy to find the perfect match for anyone and any kind of distance.
We were glad that the manufacturers added a head cover at this price range. The covers weren't anything extraordinary but they seemed good for keeping the heads unharmed.
After a month of use, the paint started to come off.
The clubs with higher loft angles (7-9) seemed to take some time before getting used to them
We felt like we weren't achieving maximum distance with these hybrids. We'd say that distance is one of the few departments of these clubs that could be worked on.
The paint could have better quality.
Available for: Unisex
Large sweet spot
8 different lofts available
Durable and lightweight graphite shaft
Highly forgiving
Perfect weight distribution
Paint tends to come off
Too heavy for some players
05 PreciseGolf Co. Precise X7 Junior Complete Golf Club Set for Children Kids
Finding the perfect sports equipment for kids can be a huge drag; especially if the sport is golf. This set will surely help you to get your young ones into the game. For starters, it looks amazing. Except for the good looks, it also comes with four extremely lightweight clubs suitable for young golfers. The graphite shafts and well-balanced clubheads make the swing effortless and enhance the flex and maneuver of children. Also, it comes with a bag that ensures organized transportation for each piece of equipment. Despite having such qualities, this set is also economical. Go for this set and you won't regret it.
Our Experience With the Precise X7
The overall design of the set was on point. From the clubs to the bag- it seemed like the perfect set to get kids into the game.
The graphite construction of the shafts made them extremely lightweight. These shafts felt light enough even for kids under 5. We'd say that they'll most assuredly help improve the swing and flex of young golfers.
We noticed that the driver was extremely forgiving. With a big enough sweet spot and a 15-degree loft, it appeared to be the perfect starter club.
The driver offered solid contact with the 22-degree loft. Young golfers shouldn't face any problems swinging it because of the weight on the club as well as the shaft.
It also included a putter and a 6/7 iron, which seemed efficient as much as the other two clubs.
The material of the bag seemed premium to the touch and it carried all the equipment in their dedicated spots. The backpack-style straps also looked suitable for young ones. The bag stood nicely and the stand seemed sturdy enough to last for years to come.
For how affordable this set was, we were impressed with the fact that it came with a pair of club covers. They sat tightly over the heads and we'd say that they'll enhance the durability of the clubs.
The bag seemed a bit heavy on the top end while it was loaded with all the equipment.
The club coverage felt limited.
The covers seemed too tight for young children.
The weight distribution of the bag could be slightly better.
Put a few golf balls in the storage pocket of the bag. This will balance the weight of the bag.
Available Colors: 6
Available for: Kids
Perfect starter set

Best Irons for Amatuer Golfers – Buyer's Guide
1. Your Skill Level
The first step to getting the perfect golf iron for yourself- keep your feet on the ground. Chances are that you're either a beginner or an intermediate player of the sport if you're reading this. The point is; different levels of golfers need something different. That's why you have to be realistic with your expertise in the game.
There are 3 kinds of irons for different levels of users;
Players irons: These irons are made for advanced golfers who need distance from their club. Try these only if you're a pro golfer.
Game improvement irons: These are made for players who aren't new to the game but still need a little help. If you're an intermediate player, these are the ones to go for.
Super game improvement irons: They are oversized irons that make it easier to maneuver the ball. These irons are the perfect pick if you're starting as a golfer.
A set of irons can cost as much as $1500 if you're willing to splash that kind of money. On the other hand, some sets will cost you less than $200 and still work perfectly. So, the smart choice will be to determine your budget before you start looking for irons.
3. Loft
"Loft angle" or "loft" resembles the degree of angle between the clubface and the shaft. The loft of a club directly influences how far the ball will travel. An increase in the loft angle will make the ball travel a greater distance. In a set of irons, each club will have a different loft.
4. Shafts
You'll find three types of shafts on the market. They are:
Steel Shafts: These are commonly chosen for irons. Being heavier than the other kinds, they offer a more accurate and consistent maneuver. They're also cheaper than the other two, which makes them more popular among golfers.
Graphite Shafts: These shafts are more expensive and less durable than steel shafts. However, graphite is lighter than iron; meaning it'll increase your swing speed. Graphite shafts can also help you unlock a greater distance in the game.
Multi-Material Shafts: Being the least common among the three, these shafts are made of both graphite and steel. Most multi-material shafts are steel shafts with graphite tips. The idea is to combine the weight of steel and the speed of graphite into one shaft, making it both accurate and fast.
Determine which shaft you need depending on their characteristics before you go for an iron.
The weight on the iron makes all the difference in maneuvering the ball. Generally, heavier heads will send the ball to a greater distance compared to lighter heads. Similarly, the weight of the shaft affects the swing.
These days, manufacturers tend to use lighter shafts or shafts with less weight near the head. This increases the swing and clubhead speed, allowing the golfers to enhance their shots. However, different players prefer different volumes of weight on their equipment. So, go for the ones that suit your style of play.
Materials of the club head of an iron influences the game. Typically, most manufacturers use stainless steel or titanium in the heads. However, manufacturers nowadays are coming up with innovative ideas to improve the forgiveness of irons.
The use of multi-material irons is getting more popular by the day. In these heads, different metals are used in different areas to decrease the weight of ineffective areas and put weight to where it's needed. The choice of material is totally up to the players. No matter what option you pick, make sure it's comfortable for you.
7. Types of Irons
Before going for a particular set, have a look at the two types of irons you can find on the market.
a. Forged Irons
These irons are made in a process similar to how blacksmiths forge metal items. First, the metal is given a rough form. Then, it's beaten with a hammer to give it the approximate structure of a club head. Afterward, it's milled, ground, and polished to give it the preferred shape of the manufacturer. These one-piece clubs come with a smaller sweet spot than the others.
b. Cast Irons
These irons are made by pouring liquid metal (commonly steel or titanium) into customized frames. This technique lets the manufacturers use complex designs in their clubheads. It also makes it easy to make multi-material irons. Because of the simple process, these irons are more economical than the forged irons.
8. Designs of Golf Irons
a. Blade Irons
In these irons, the weight is equally distributed all over the clubhead. This makes the face, top line, and the sweet spot narrower than the other type of design. They are also known as 'muscle back' irons.
b. Cavity Back Irons
These clubs come with a cavity at the backside of the clubhead. This makes the edges of the iron heavier than the other areas of the head. This increases the forgiveness of the club, making the ball travel a longer distance than usual.
Iron Sole Width Does Matter!
Iron Soles can make all the difference in maneuvering a golf ball. Typically, wider souls don't dig into the turf. This increases the forgiveness of the clubs big time, making them suitable for beginners and intermediate users.
On the other hand, irons with narrower soles are more preferred by skilled golfers who have more control over the swing and are less likely to miss the sweet spots.
What Makes the Best Beginner Set of Irons?
Irons designed for beginners generally have some kind of game improvement attributes. Most iron sets come with at least 7-8 clubs. The number of irons included in the set can go up to 16.
However, sets manufactured for beginners don't necessarily need to have a high number of irons; rather they have to have the equipment suitable to help enhance their abilities.
Normally, a driver, a hybrid, a putter, and a few other irons between 4-9 should be enough for starters. A variety in the loft angles are also crucial for beginners. All in all, the aim should be to learn to make good contact with the ball with each of the clubs.
Q. 1: When Should I buy new irons?
Ans: You might have to get a new set of irons for multiple reasons. If your swing movement and techniques go through a significant change, consider going for something different. Similarly, if the manufacturing technology of clubs gets a significant breakthrough or if your equipment gets a tear or wear that's beyond repair, then it's time to change your iron.
Q. 2: How Many Irons are In a Set of Golf Clubs?
Ans: Typically, iron sets contain 7-8 clubs. The number can go as high as 14, depending on the manufacturer or the types of club heads and wedges.
Q. 3: Do I Need Head Covers for my Irons?
Ans: Head covers protect your clubheads from unintentional damages. Many players don't prefer to use them because they add an extra bit of chores every time you change your club. However, we think they're useful and they increase the durability of the irons. They're not an absolute necessity, but you can get them to be on the safer side.

Q: How to correctly display a TGA image in a framebuffer? I've been working on my own hobby OS. I would like to display icons.
For its simplicity, I chose the tga format. But it is impossible to have a correct image: it is completely distorted.
Here is my code:
struct tga_header {
      uint8_t magic1;             // must be zero
      uint8_t colormap;           // must be zero
      uint8_t encoding;           // must be 2
      uint16_t cmaporig, cmaplen; // must be zero
      uint8_t cmapent;            // must be zero
      uint16_t x;                 // must be zero
      uint16_t y;                 // image's height
      uint16_t h;                 // image's height
      uint16_t w;                 // image's width
      uint8_t bpp;                // must be 32
      uint8_t pixeltype;          // must be 40
} __attribute__((packed));

void display_tga(struct tga_header *base)
{
   if (base->magic1 != 0 || base->colormap != 0 || base->encoding != 2
       || base->cmaporig != 0 || base->cmapent != 0 || base->x != 0
       || base->bpp != 32 || base->pixeltype != 40)
       return;
   uint32_t *img = (u32*)(sizeof(struct tga_header)+(uint64_t)base);
   draw_icon(700, 50, base->w, base->h, img);
}

And the draw_icon function:
static void draw_icon(int x, int y, int w, int h, u32 *img) {
   int j, l, i;

   for (l = j = 0; l < h; l++) {
      for (i = 0; i < w; i++, j++) {
         putpixel(x + i, y + l, img[j]);
      }
   }
}

The image appears like this

A: As long as I searched, you should exchange h and w of tga_header ;)

Over a hundred new pages have been added to the new edition of the popular and esteemed best-selling Parkers' Astrology, first published in 1991.
The purpose of the book remains the same: to teach the reader to calculate, set up, interpret and progress an astrological chart. The Sun-sign pages and the pages on the planets remain the same, as does the method of teaching (though it has been completely re-designed and is now easier to use). Those familiar with the original edition will recognise the generous pages on the astronomical background, the Zodiac and Solar System, the Ascendant and Midheaven, the Houses, the section on Astrology in Action with its many examples – drawn from Julia Parker's case-books – of how astrology can be used in evaluating relationships, looking at marriage or permanent relationships, business, the family, career, change, leisure and health . . .
and the ephemeris or tables of planetary positions now stretches from 1921 to 2012 – there are over 60 pages of these tables, and you will need no extra books for your astrological work unless your subject was born outside these dates.
Chiron This small 'planet' is now being increasingly used by astrologers, world-wide. We include notes on its orbit, its relationship to other planets, and its influence in each of the twelve signs and houses.
Eclipses and Comets New pages explore the possible effect of eclipses and comets.
Fixed Stars We now have several pages on the fixed stars and their use, with notes on interpreting Algol, Sirius, Regulus and many others, together with notes of their positions.
Midpoints We explore at length the theory of midpoints, in use since the thirteenth century but fully developed in the 1930s, and deal with calculating them, exploring their effect and interpreting them – there are 23 pages of interpretations for birth charts and their influence on progressions and transits.
Harmonics The theory of harmonics is one of the few modern astrological conceptions to have become respectable. We explain it thoroughly, show how to calculate them, and give examples of the four leading harmonics – the fourth, fifth, seventh and ninth.
Horary astrology Horary astrology – the setting up of a chart for the moment of asking a particular question – has been much re-explored in recent years, and here we give golden rules for using it in a dozen pages which also include examples of how it is used.
Relocation astrology How would you react if you suddenly had to move half-way round the world? In relocation astrology the birth-chart and progressed chart are 'relocated' to the place to which you are moving – or to which perhaps you feel you would like to move; even, somewhere where you would like to holiday. We demonstrate the technique of Astro*Carto*Graphy8 and how it is used.
Parkers' Astrology is published by Dorling Kindersley at £19.95 in the UK and $40 in the US. It is also available in Australia and New Zealand. Your bookseller should stock it, but you can also buy it from Amazon.com – click on the ikon on our home page.


Some of them I'm happy about, some I'm sad about, some I'm not proud about, some I can live with, and the rest I'm still processing.
I think about mirrors, about how, I've been told, what you don't like in another person is usually what you don't like in yourself.
I think about radical authenticity, about how difficult it is, this business of going for truth and transparency and showing up as yourself in a body that is filled with fear in a world that may not be patient enough to understand.
I think about my relationships, about relating, about the people I've kept close, the people who chose to lose me, and the people I've been glad to lose.
I think about harsh words people have for each other, harsh words I've used against people and harsh words that have been used against me.
I think about how, beneath those harsh words, we really know nothing about each other, and that maybe, just maybe, if I saw that part of you that earned a term of endearment or if you saw that part of me that, I don't know, will never find it in herself to enjoy your misery, then we would think twice before saying anything hurtful.
Tonight I spoke to an old online friend who's been going through a tough time in the last five or six years. I hadn't spoken to him since 2011, and he suddenly just appeared on my Yahoo Messenger.
He updated me on his life story, and suddenly my life was all roses, and I found it in me to feel compassion for someone once again. Suddenly, I was grateful for every aspect of my life again.
"Be good," he told me.
"You've always been a good person," he said.
"You be good yourself," I said, "and I'm sorry about what's happened to you."
"I'm alive," he said, and I could imagine him smiling sadly. "That's it. I'm alive."
I think about the faces I need to prepare and hate preparing. I think about some truths I can't say.
I think about how I am surviving, and how it feels nothing like living.
Then, somewhere in my heart, in that space that had sought to love you and failed without any regret, I think about whether you're feeling the same way.

Woodlawn Seniors Shine in 49-13 Rout of Tara
Jerit Roser, www.datboot.com
Woodlawn was dominant from the onset Thursday en route to a sixth straight victory.
Xavier Lodge prepares for the snap versus Tara.
The Panthers' defense immediately set the tone, and the offense exploded for its highest point total in more than a year in the 49-13 rout of visiting Tara (3-4, 0-2).
"That's why we always defer," coach Daniel Luquet said. "We want to get our defense on the field, because they're the best part of our team right now. Not taking anything away from our offense. But when you've got the players we've got on our defense, you want to get them on the field and give an offense a sense of what they're gonna be up against the rest of the night.
"We've really stressed turnovers because that's the one thing this defense hasn't really had a lot of is turnovers. Now the last two weeks we've gotten a couple here and there. And I'm telling you, when you're playing that good of defense and you can turn the football over and give your offense a short field like we did tonight, we can be really good."
Senior linebacker Anthony Arinze intercepted the Trojans' second play from scrimmage and returned the ball 25 yards to the 6-yard line.
An offsides penalty brought Woodlawn to the 3-yard line, and senior running back Chris Middleton Jr. scored on first down.
"We knew it was gonna be pass all the way, so I dropped back in coverage and I don't think the quarterback saw me," Arinze smiled. "They had a lineman between me and the quarterback. All I saw was the ball come out, and I just went for it and tried to run around the corner and get an edge."
Brian Byrd fires a pass against Tara.
The Panthers (6-1, 2-0) forced a three-and-out on Tara's next possession, and senior quarterback Brian Byrd and the offense got quickly back to work again.
Woodlawn marched back down the field for a 12-yard touchdown from Byrd to senior Evin Puckett.
"Me and Brian's relationship is very good," Puckett said. "We've got good chemistry on and off the practice field. We just hook up and do good things and make big plays on the football field … We're doing good."
The defense continued to stifle Tara, other than occasional long runs by standout running back Chris Avery.
And Byrd and company used their opportunities to further extend the lead with second-quarter strikes to Puckett and junior Bryson Reaser.
"I feel good back there," Byrd said. "From Week 1, things were kind of shaky and we didn't have as much chemistry. But now, Week 7, I feel comfortable back there. We've got some playmakers on the outside. And my job is to just get them the ball."
The Panthers pinned Tara deep in its own territory in the final minutes of the half and sacked the punter at the 2-yard line to regain possession and set up an immediate touchdown run by Xavier Lodge for the 35-0 halftime margin.
"It feels good," said Lodge of his opportunities to help the team on both sides of the ball. "My mindset is to score. That's how I feel. It feels good when I play both sides."
Avery broke free for a long third-quarter touchdown to break the shutout.
But Woodlawn answered twice to further seal the contest.
A second short run by Lodge capped a 90-yard drive late in the third, and sophomore running back Ray Sierra burst 36 yards into the end zone to push the lead to 49-6.
And Jadarius Givens rushed for a late Tara score, but only after the contest was well out of reach.
"To me, the defense, we did excellent," said senior defensive back Jonathan Scott, who intercepted a pass in the end zone and broke up multiple other attempts. "We've got little stuff to pick up and patches to fill. But other than that, we're ready."
Chris Middleton sheds a Tara defender.
Byrd completed 12 of 22 attempts for 166 yards — led by 53 on two passes to Puckett and 48 on three to Reaser — and ran four times for 18 yards.
Lodge and Middleton led the rushing attack with 87 and 77 yards, respectively, and Joshua London and Sierra added 37 and 36.
Woodlawn finished with 280 rushing yards and 195 passing yards, and the 49 points marked the team's most since Sept. 16, 2016, at Lafayette.
The Panthers' six-game win streak marks the program's longest since claiming eight straight victories in 2010.
"We knew it was going to happen," Lodge said. "We just had to build. Last year we had a lot of young players, but most of them are seniors this year, so we're ready to rock and roll now."

A smaller environmental footprint by erasing all tracks
Plastic News Europe
UNTHA machines ensure secure destruction of magnetic media
Manchip3 Media (M3Media), a secure waste destruction specialist based in Kent (UK), specialises in the eco-friendly destruction or recycling of magnetic media – from old-fashioned tapes to computer hard disks. According to owner Toby Manchip, his company's over-arching mission is to help 'combat the estimated 8 million tonnes of plastic that end up in the world's oceans every year'.
To that end, M3Media takes in the media, which it then can recycle by first removing all labels, stickers and glue from the surfaces, and then performing degaussing, which effectively erases all data from the magnetic media. The next step is testing, to ensure no sound or pictures remain on the media. M3Media can provide a fast re-evaluation, re-certification service that both cuts costs and is more environmentally friendly than using new.
When destruction is the preferred choice, the company now has the disposal of a new shredding system, designed, as the Manchip said, "to make light work" of the old-format media that M3Media is processing on behalf of key customers, including Sky, the BBC and Channel 4. Capable of tackling thousands of tapes per day, the brand-new DIN66399 certified UNTHA RS30 shredder allows for the secure decommissioning of these products, ensuring that secure or protected footage will never end up in the public domain. At the same time, 'waste' materials are not permitted to go to waste: following destruction, even the media cases are granulated by M3Media for recycling into products such as Lego.
Manchip was looking for a robust solution with proven media and data destruction capabilities, and ultimately settled on the RS30. "This technology ticks all the boxes – operational simplicity, high throughputs, precision particle sizing, customer support services, justifiable capital outlay and minimal wear costs," he said.
Interestingly, the new RS30 is not the only UNTHA machine in operation at M3Media's HQ. Some time ago Toby procured a used S20 shredder which he recently discovered was the oldest working example of UNTHA kit in the country.
"If we wanted any proof that our new UNTHA shredder will stand the test of time, the continuing functionality of this classic asset gives us all the evidence we need," he declared. "We love the fact that we're now running both the oldest UNTHA machine in the UK, and one of the newest. Between them they're handling new and old media too, so there's something symbiotic about this story."
