REKHA BASU
Kent Sorenson and his perfect hypocrisy
rbasu@dmreg.com
As a state senator in 2012, Kent Sorenson voted to subject welfare recipients to random drug tests, at their own expense, even if they had no history of drug abuse.
Had that amendment to a health and human services budget bill passed — which, fortunately, it did not — mandatory drug-testing conducted without a reason for suspecting illegal drug use would have become a necessary condition for low-income people to get state benefits. Those who tested positive (but mercifully, not their dependent minors) would have been tossed off the welfare rolls. It's then anyone's guess where they would have gone, since the proposal didn't provide for addiction treatment. One can assume the costs would have revisited society in some form.
What is most offensive about such a proposal is the glib association of poverty with lawlessness or lack of personal responsibility, the assumption that merely being poor is enough evidence of illegal drug use to trigger random testing.
Or is it being on the public payroll that warrants that degree of investigation? If so, shouldn't lawmakers also have to prove they are not doing drugs while taking taxpayer money? And what might have happened if they had had to while Kent Sorenson was in the Legislature? We know what happened last week.
For the third time since Sept. 30, Sorenson tested positive for marijuana use.
He's subject to drug testing because he's awaiting sentencing for having accepted illegal payments in exchange for supporting and working for first Michele Bachmann's and later Ron Paul's presidential campaigns. And this isn't his first run-in with the law over drugs.
He was arrested for selling marijuana as a result of an undercover sting back in 1993. He pleaded guilty to drug delivery and was ordered to serve six months in the Warren County Jail. But he only had to serve five days. He paid a $300 fine and was on probation for two years. Even so, when the press got the story in 2010 while Sorenson was a state representative seeking election to the Senate, he denied having dealt drugs and blamed the person he was with. He also said, "At that point in my life, I was a different person." He went on to win the election.
Maybe he was a different person, and maybe he just got yanked back into using after his current legal troubles began. If he lived in Colorado, it might not even be an issue, and some would say it shouldn't be one here. But if Sorenson does believe in recreational marijuana use, he was in a unique position as a lawmaker to do something about changing Iowa law.
Instead he sought to villanize poor people over something he himself did. It's the hypocrisy that gets me.
If Sorenson has a bona fide problem with drugs, he deserves help and understanding, but that would require owning up to it and accepting responsibility. It would also be nice to see him drop the double-standard and extend to other people the same leeway he gives himself. Yet even when Democratic Sens. Joe Bolkcom and Jack Hatch were hoping to introduce a bill legalizing medical marijuana to ease the pain or symptoms of sick people, Sorenson chose to stick with the conservatives in his party. The bill got no Republican support and was never brought to a vote.
I called Hatch to see what he remembered of that. The former senator, who gave up his seat to run against Gov. Terry Branstad, didn't hold back. "He's a perfect hypocrite that uses his Christian beliefs as a vehicle to promote his conservative politics," Hatch said of Sorenson.
In both the House and the Senate, he said Sorenson "has always been against the illegal use of anything, fashioning himself as the conservative watchdog of enforcing the law. Yet he had been violating the law constantly."
At least as far as we know, Sorenson's recent drug use didn't put anyone else in danger. The same cannot be said for Gretchen Hamel, the former campaign spokeswoman for U.S. Sen.-elect Joni Ernst. Hamel was twice caught out drunk in her car, and resigned the day after her Oct. 29 arrest. The first time, an Urbandale police officer offered to let her go if she told the truth after Hamel lied and said she wasn't the driver.
He said he was protecting her from getting fired. But she obviously didn't learn her lesson, getting arrested in West Des Moines less than a month later. Nice as it would be to think he would have extended the same courtesy to, say, a young man of color working a low-wage job, I haven't ever heard of that happening in Iowa.
It's great when people in positions of power show compassion for others in trouble. But that ability to put themselves in the other's shoes shouldn't hinge on someone's income or social standing, as it too often seems to do. Society would probably be more just and equitable if politicians let their votes be guided more by their own life choices and reckonings, and less by doctrine.

Ten points to restore democracy in Cambodia and avoid European sanctions
HomeNewsTen points to restore democracy in Cambodia...
The political crisis in Cambodia has worsened since 2017. Until then, the authoritarian and repressive regime of Prime Minister Hun Sen was still able to present an image of stability behind a façade of democracy, which hid a handcuffed opposition, manipulated elections and an obedient justice system. But this misleading façade quickly collapsed with the arrest in September 2017 of the leader of the opposition Kem Sokha and the dissolution in November 2017 of the only parliamentary opposition party, the Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) which Kem Sokha had founded with Sam Rainsy in 2012.
Since 2013 the CNRP had the support of almost half of the electorate. Its dissolution was followed in July 2018 by highly controversial elections in which, thanks to the elimination of the CNRP, Hun Sen's party was able to take all of the seats in the national assembly. This return to a single-party system signalled a death of democracy that could no longer be hidden. It constitutes a violation of the Paris accords of 1991 which guarantee a system of "liberal and pluralist" democracy for Cambodia.
In the face of this lurch into totalitarianism, the international community, with the exception of China, reacted with condemnation. But the strongest reaction came from the European Union, which issued a kind of ultimatum to Cambodia in urging the country to re-establish democratic mechanisms before 12 December 2019, or face the suspension of the trading advantages which are vital for the Cambodian economy known as "Everything but Arms".
Cambodia now faces a moment of truth and a decisive choice which revolves around the ten following points:
1. Hun Sen will not easily accept to give up power of his own will. Accustomed to autocratic power since 1985 and having committed many reprehensible acts in the course of his long rule, he is seeking at any price to ensure the impunity that only power can guarantee. As he grows older, he aims to conserve this power within his family and is preparing one of his sons, Hun Manet, to succeed him. Increasingly guided by fear, he seems determined to implement his plan to hold and pass on power as he wishes, regardless of the views of the Cambodian people and the international community.
2. In the face of the rise of the united democratic opposition represented by the CNRP, symbolised by the partnership between Kem Sokha and Sam Rainsy and strongly supported by a youth impatient for change in a country classed among the most authoritarian, poor and corrupt in the world, Hun Sen has no other option but to intensify the repressive nature of his regime.
3. The most recent spectacular performances of the opposition, which won 44% of votes in the legislative elections of July 2013 and the local elections of June 2017, despite the many irregularities favouring the ruling party, forced Hun Sen's hand and led him to order the dissolution of the CNRP.
4. The developments of 2017 do not simply signify a change of the rules of the political game, but a change of the game, imposed by Hun Sen. The authoritarian leader has brutally rejected democracy and no longer bothers to keep up a façade for appearances.
5. A false accusation of "treason" made against Kem Sokha served as the pretext for his arrest and the dissolution of the CNRP. This dissolution entailed the banning of 118 CNRP leaders from all political activity and the confiscation of the elected posts which the CNRP had obtained through universal suffrage. These posts which the opposition had won, nationally and locally, were redistributed to supporters of the ruling party.
6. Faced with this negation of universal suffrage and this rejection of fundamental democratic principles and mechanisms, the European Union demands a reversal of course and the cancellation of all the repressive measures taken by the Hun Sen regime since 2017: the ending of the restrictions on the freedom of Kem Sokha, the dropping of all charges made against him and other CNRP leaders, the return of the elected positions that were wrongly confiscated and the restoring of fundamental democratic mechanisms, necessitating the presence and participation of a real opposition in the country's political life. In current circumstances, the CNRP is the only credible opposition party, because it is the only one to have clear, unquestionable popular legitimacy.
7. The demands of the European Union face resistance in the form of the ferocious will of Hun Sen to preserve his absolute power. Hun Sen correctly identifies the democratic opposition, united under the banner of the CNRP, as the principal threat to his regime. Therefore, he seeks to destroy the CNRP by any means. He is now putting pressure on Kem Sokha – who is today still in the position of a hostage – to try to make him break his alliance with Sam Rainsy, so leading to a fatal division of the democratic opposition.
8. Neither Kem Sokha nor Sam Rainsy are fooled by Hun Sen's manoeuvres. Both understand the overriding necessity of standing united so that the cause of democracy will prevail. This union can only continue in the context of a CNRP that has to be legally reinstated, leading to the fundamental and legitimate demand of Cambodian democrats for the rehabilitation and reactivation of the CNRP.
9. Since Kem Sokha has been wrongly accused of "treason" and "collusion" with the United States to overthrow the Phnom Penh regime by violent and illegal means – an accusation without foundation which served as a pretext for Hun Sen to dissolve the CNRP – the rehabilitation of the CNRP and all its leaders cannot, logically, pose a problem: it must automatically follow from the rehabilitation of Kem Sokha himself once his innocence is recognised. A virtuous cycle of rehabilitation must replace the vicious cycle of repression.
10. This will lead to the moment of truth. Hun Sen will finally have to demonstrate logic and good faith. The truth is that Hun Sen is trapped by his own hand, because cynicism has its limits. The accusation of "treason" against Kem Sokha, which is at the origin of the repressive measures taken by Hun Sen since 2017, is in the process of falling apart. Hun Sen must himself recognise that there is no serious evidence to support this accusation. A judge under the orders of the executive has just declared – after finding nothing conclusive in over two years – that the Kem Sokha investigation has ended. Hun Sen must therefore either absolve Kem Sokha and lift all restrictions on his rights and liberties, so fully rehabilitating him, or very quickly organise a judicial farce to condemn Kem Sokha for an imaginary crime, which would be unacceptable to the European Union. Even if a conviction of Kem Sokha were to be followed by a royal pardon, such a personal arrangement would not re-establish democracy or the rule of law. This will also be the moment of truth for the European Union, which will have to demonstrate whether or not it respects the norms of truth, justice and democracy, which form part of the set of values which it presents to the whole world.
Co-founder, former president and current interim president, CNRP
The management team of the CNRP, currently in exile abroad, is made up of the interim party president appointed after the arrest of leader Kem Sokha, two of the party's three vice presidents (Mu Sochua and Eng Chhai Eang), and fifteen of the twenty-five members of the party's permanent committee who have held their posts since before the arbitrary and illegal dissolution of the party by Hun Sen in 2017.

As anyone who has been to New York City knows, it can be overwhelming, but there is no shortage of good food and drink. In fact, there are often more choices than you get your head around for good restaurants, cafés, bars, brunch eateries, coffee shops, or street food. The same goes for tea. Anyone desiring a good tea experience will not be disappointed, and the fact that there are so many options makes for a refreshing change; us tea drinkers are used to having to seek tea spots out, sometimes going considerably out of our way. Additionally, there is huge variety in the type of tea experiences on offer in New York City—perfect for some like me who enjoys all different tea traditions, or for anyone who suffers from a split personali-tea.
The following two experiences, which occurred on consecutive days, are a good example of the variety on offer. On one of my first days in the city I discovered "Franchia", a vegan café that has been reviewed on this blog before. This was an East Asian tea experience through and through; although they do not explicitly market themselves as Korean (they just say "vegan café), they serve traditional Korean teas and food. They serve their loose leaf teas in a gaiwan or kyusu, and also offer traditionally prepared Korean herbal infusions such as Date Paste Tea and Korean Plum Tea. These are options you would rarely, if ever, encounter outside an establishment that serves Korean tea, and added uniqueness to this experience.
The following day saw a tea experience that was in stark contrast: I had tea English-style at "tbsp", a brunch café picked out by my dining companions. The tea itself was not what stuck with me (Mighty Leaf, so excellent for bagged tea and still tasty, but nothing special). Rather, what stuck with me were their tea wares. They had an eclectic collection of English-style teapots that looked like they had been found in various antique shops. They were all lined up on the counter as if on display on someone's mantle, or even in a museum. Each order of tea was served in one of these interesting teapots, which were so sizable that even I was impressed (the smallness of restaurant tea pots is one of my most common complaints). When I ordered a second tea, it came in a different tea pot, giving me a chance to use and admire another specimen from their collection. It was an element that made the event memorable as a tea experience, rather than just being another cup of tea along the way.
So, rather than be overwhelmed by what New York City has to offer, give thanks to the gods of metropolitan density for being able to find unusual and delicious tea places without the usual hassle. For those who can't commit to just one tea style, you can enjoy the profusion and variety of tea experiences to be had. If you are the kind of person who prefers only one type of tea experience, you can have fun trying out all the different tea establishments of that type! Something for everyone.
How Many Different Teas Can You Name?
Truly I love all the post that you have written.
Thanks, Nitsolem- hope you continue to enjoy them!

Q: How would I format Zend_Form_Element_Radio so the label comes after the input I have been trying to implement the solution in an earlier version of this question at:
How would I format Zend_Form_Element_Radio so the label follows the input?
By creating an extended helper MyLib_View_Helper_FormRadio but must be missing something obvious with this!
My question is how do I get Zend_Form_Element_Radio() to use this now instead of the version of the helper in Zend_View_Helper_FormRadio?
I thought initially that this was done by creating the element with
$radio = new MyLib_View_Helper_FormRadio();

but realised its not.
Changing the way the label and input are ordered in the Zend_View_Helper_FormRadio.php does the trick but I realise that the Zend files should not be altered.
If anyone can help me with t his I would be very grateful!

A: In your MyLib_View_Helper_FormRadio class, you have a method, like this (it's an example):
public function formRadioCustom($name, $value = null, $attribs = null,
    $options = null, $listsep = "<br />\n"){...}

So to call it instead of formRadio of Zend_View_Helper_FormRadio, if I'm not mistaken, you have to do:
 $element->addDecorators(array(array('ViewHelper',array('helper' => 'formRadioCustom'))));

And in your bootstrap add a method to add helper like this:
protected function _initViewHelpers() {
    $view = new Zend_View();
    $view->->addHelperPath('MyLib/View/Helper/', 'MyLib_View_Helper');
}

I'm building an Android app featuring Israeli news. It is largely based on feeds that automatically takes material written by news services and bloggers who are not shomer Shabbos (but no one is writing specifically for the app). The app does make a little money from ads, but I'm not selling anything per-se. The app has actually been live for quite a while - it's tough to tell, but at the moment most users are probably not Jewish.
Is it permissible to include such feeds as some material is inevitably written on Shabbos and inevitably some users will 'download' this material before shabbos ends? Note that the material will only reach the user's phone when the (not-necessarily-Jewish) user decides to load the app.
Additionally, are there any issues in providing such content with regards to any Lashon Hora contained within?
The topic of operating apps/sites on Shabbat is complex, an entire book (Commerce and Shabbos) was written on it by R Yosef Y Kushner.
In general it is permitted to write an app that will maybe be used by Jews on Shabbat (and there are thousands like this of course). R Shlomo Aviner writes that, regarding "Do not place a stumbling block", if one is uncertain that the person will transgress the Halachah, we are "tolim" (literally "hanging" on the assumption) that he will not violate it (Mishnah Gittin 5:9) (see bottom of here).
So there are likely to be poskim who will permit or prohibit based on the specifics of the case. But you really need to speak to a competent rav to review the specifics and get a personal ruling. The above might serve as a helpful review of some of the sources.
Regarding lashon hara on the Internet, there is a book for this as well :-> (but I don't have it), this review (bottom) mentions it explicitly addresses issues relevant to your question.
Since newspapers are definitely constrained by the laws of lashon hara (see e.g., bottom of here), it stands to reason you will need rabbinic guidance on your app as well.
Newspapers certainly contain much lashon hara, and as the Chofetz Chaim makes clear, the prohibition includes not writing negatively about other individuals, groups or communities. Az Nidberu (14:64) discusses the issue of liability – is it the journalist who has transgressed lashon hara or the publisher/vendor?
His conclusion is that the writer is certainly guilty, for even though at the time of writing he did not tell anyone his lashon hara, once his words are published he has transgressed retroactively. On the other hand, the publisher or vendor is by and large not liable since he has no intention to spread lashon hara – he merely earns his livelihood by selling newspapers, but does not specifically intend to damage others. Nevertheless, he recommends that one should stay as far away from such newspapers as possible.
Last, halachayomit writes in a way that would make it challenging to automatically republish articles from "non-kosher sources"
Rabbi Zalman Melamed - the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Beit El, Rabbi of Beit El, and one of the founders of Arutz-7 - is the rabbinic authority of Arutz-7. His guiding principle is, first of all, that something that is already known (public knowledge) can not always be publicized - as publicizing it further is at least avak lashon hara (a statement which is not lashon hara itself, but will cause lashon hara to be spoken).
Equally obviously, the above rules out all sorts of gossip columns, which have absolutely no place in a Torah publication. Similarly, crime stories usually should not have any names mentioned. Even political figures, who are often justifiably criticized based on the above principle of "benefit to the public," should not be mentioned by name in cases that can bring no such benefit - such as how many times he was divorced, or the like. There have been several cases when we have specifically left out names, even though in a "normal" newspaper they would have been mentioned totally matter-of factly".

Sometimes you want to tightly seal a lid to its container, such as when you're canning foods. The vacuum seal created inside the contain as the contents cool down after being heated in the water bath or pressure cooker prevents spoilage and allows for long-term storage. The same thing can happen when you cover a cooking pan with a tight-fitting lid, then turn down the heat. When the lid inadvertently seals to the pan, it creates a problem, but breaking this seal should be a simple matter.
When a heated pan cools down with the lid on, it sometimes creates a vacuum seal.
Put the sealed pan back on the burner.
Heat the pan slowly on low so that the air inside the pan warms and expands.
Wait for the seal to break. The lid should lift off without effort once the heated air inside expands.


Sunday School — Christian Church "The Kingdom of God"
Sunday School was created to bring children to Christ and prepare them for ministry. Therefore, its main goals are about directing children to Jesus and teaching them truths of the Word of God. The foundation of Sunday School is love. School program is very interesting. Besides Bible lessons it includes kinds of parties, fairies with prizes, festive, watching movies, sport competitions and games for Bible study.
Important part of the children's ministry is summer camps. Each year the camp program includes bible lessons, circles, funny contests, camp games, parties, show programs and fairy with gifts. Sunday school teachers and learners do evangelism in the city squares and surrounding countries. They prepare different performances, clowns, entertainments and games. At the same time, they share the Gospel with children. Many children joined the church due to the street evangelism. Sunday school lessons take place every Sunday during the church meetings.

BILL SUPPORTED BY SERINO WOULD IMPROVE RESPONSE TO PREVENT ELDER ABUSE
ALBANY, NY –Senator Sue Serino announced today that a bill she co-sponsors to more effectively prevent elder abuse and hold perpetrators accountable passed in the State Senate this week.
While elder abuse is chronically underreported and under prosecuted, it is estimated that nearly 300,000 New York seniors fall victim to some form of elder abuse each year. According to recent reports, elder financial exploitation is the most common form of abuse, costing American seniors billions of dollars annually. The bill co-sponsored by Senator Serino would codify the highly successful Enhanced Multi-Disciplinary Team (E-MDT) Program within the State Office for the Aging, a move that will further improve the effectiveness and efficiency of a program that works holistically to prevent abuse, return stolen funds and empower New York's seniors. To date, E-MDT, have secured almost $2 million in court-ordered restitution for financial abuse victims.
"Since taking office, protecting vulnerable seniors from elder abuse and financial exploitation has been one of my top priorities, and the Enhanced Multi-Disciplinary Teams play a critical role in that effort as they work tirelessly to investigate, intervene and prevent abuse," said Senator Serino. "The E-MDTs have proven to be incredibly successful, and with the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, their work has never been more important. I am proud to have done my part to help expand this highly successful program over the years, and I look forward to seeing all they are able to accomplish when this bill becomes law."
Recently, local organizations that work with the E-MDTs raised potential legal issues around the sharing of victim information during case discussions in which team members come from various industries, especially in light of the recent changes made to New York State's discovery laws. The changes created uncertainties that make it difficult for local E-MDT coordinators to recruit and train new members that represent organizations like county Adult Protective Services, District Attorney's offices, law enforcement, and more. The bill would address these concerns by giving the program the statutory authority it needs to seamlessly continue its important work.
The E-MDT Program is overseen upstate by Lifespan of Greater Rochester. To learn more about the program, please click here.
The bill was sponsored in the Senate by Senator Roxanne Persaud, Chair of the Senate's Committee on Social Services, and it must pass in the Assembly and be signed by the Governor before it can become law.
Senator Serino is the Ranking Member of the Senate's Committee on Aging.

Born in Ponca City, Oklahoma, to Egyptian immigrants, Salama has invented a genre of music by blending his family's roots with his country of birth. His songs incorporate the Arabic poetry of a medieval Muslim theologian with the iconic twang of American country music.
Country-eastern, some might call it.
"The messages I try to focus on -- and I think it's sort of the focus of country music generally -- is just values: family values, love, kindness, things like that," Salama said after a recent performance in Cairo, one of the first stops on the monthlong seven-country tour.
And while he may resemble his audience in appearance, his Southern-accent-infused Arabic -- admittedly rusty -- draws giggles from the crowd.
"Is that proper? Is that right?" he asked the audience after attempting an Arabic thank-you.
But with lyrics such as "I want to live in a land called paradise / I want to go the Valley of the Kings," Salama's cross-cultural approach is hitting home.
"He has really nice songs, written songs. His voice is amazing. His band is amazing," concertgoer Sheriin Ali gushed after Salama's Cairo performance.
According to the State Department, Salama's tour -- which will stop in Morocco, Kuwait, Bahrain, Syria, Jerusalem and Jordan -- "is designed to bring to audiences in the Middle East a rising American musical talent, representative of America's diversity of faith and heritage, who can serve as a bridge between Americans and the peoples of the Middle East."
While in the region, Salama and his band will perform at public and private events, do community outreach events and interact with youth.
And, thanks to his parents, Salama seems born to carry a message of diplomacy.
His name translates literally to Generous Peace.

Back to Birds of prey
Nakuru National Park
Juvenile / Nairobi National Park
The African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer), or to distinguish it from the true fish eagles (Ichthyophaga), the African sea eagle, is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur.
The African fish eagle feeds mainly on fish, which it swoops down upon from a perch in a tree, snatching the prey from the water with its large, clawed talons. The eagle then flies back to its perch to eat its catch. Like other sea eagles, the African fish eagle has structures on its toes called spiricules that allow it to grasp fish and other slippery prey. Should the African fish eagle catch prey over ten times their own body weight, it is too heavy to allow the eagle to get lift, so it instead drags the fish across the surface of the water until it reaches the shore. If it catches a fish too heavy to allow the eagle to sustain flight, it will drop into the water and paddle to the nearest shore with its wings.
The African fish eagle is known to steal the catch of other bird species (such as goliath herons) in a behaviour known as kleptoparasitism. It also feeds on birds especially waterbirds such as ducks, greater and lesser flamingos, small turtles and terrapins, baby crocodiles, lizards, frogs, and carrion. Occasionally, it may even carry off mammalian prey, such as hyraxes and monkeys. It has also been observed feeding on domestic fowl (chickens).

NC Sen. Hartsell, of Concord, indicted on campaign-related counts
Published 4:44 pm Tuesday, September 27, 2016
By Gary D. Robertson
RALEIGH (AP) — A longtime North Carolina state senator has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges stemming from allegations he spent more than $200,000 in campaign funds over several years for his personal benefit.
The 14-count fraud and money laundering indictment against Sen. Fletcher Hartsell of Concord was handed down Tuesday. A Wake County grand jury three months ago indicted the Republican on counts of filing false campaign reports.
Tuesday's indictment alleges he took money from his campaign account and funneled it to his law firm and a corporation he owned with his wife. The indictment says Hartsell justified to the State Board of Elections spending campaign money on trips, show tickets and haircuts.
Hartsell and his lawyer didn't immediately return calls. Hartsell's first court appearance is Thursday in Greensboro.


My family loves spicy chili and they sure love fries. Put those two together and you get the best comfort food. It looks freaking amazing, and I can't describe the taste. It's bombalishes! Seriously! It's explosion of flavors packed into one delicious bite.
Of course, you can get chili fries around the town, but you can make your own chili fries easily. With the Football season around the corner, this would be a perfect dish to serve on football nights. You know that we have Sunday night football, as well as Monday night and Thursday too so you can make a big pot of chili and eat this all week long. I know it's not the healthiest food, but it's so damn good. Plus if you serve it with salad there is balance right there… I got ya back!
Jokes on the side, if you love chili, fries, and cheese then you will love this easy and delicious recipe. You can definitely make chili that you prefer. We love this one with turkey or beef and Italian sausages. You can click here for the recipe if you would like to check mine.
Bake or fry Fries. I usually get the best quality frozen fries and bake them with a drizzle of olive oil until crunchy. It takes about 15-18 minutes until I reach a perfect fries. You can also deep fry them or use homemade french fries. Whatever you like using it would be okay.
Make Chili. I make my own chili from the scratch and I have been making it this way for years. You can make your favorite chili recipe or use mine.
Now when you have both fries and chili done, put it together. I like taking a bowl and making individual servings. My boys do not eat tomatoes so they actually build their own chili fries.
Add fries in the bowl, ladle HOT chili over it, sprinkle cheese. While the cheese is melting due to hotness, prep the rest of the toppings to add on top of the chili fries. Sometimes I would microwave chili fries with cheese just to get that bubbling cheese... you can also use the conventional oven but make sure to use oven-safe dish/bowl.
Add the rest of the desired toppings and serve.

Affordable housing apartment complex with grocery store and daycare one step further to becoming a reality in downtown Regina.
One project promises to make big changes in downtown Regina.
On Tuesday, the Namerind Housing Corp. unveiled artist renderings for the newly named Namerind Place to be located at 1800 Lorne Street.
He expects to break ground on the first phase project in the next couple of weeks.
The building located at 1840 Lorne St. is to be demolished to make way for a parking lot. Work on the mixed-use building is to begin in the next two years.
"We are working on the final drawings and the business plan and then from there it is about a 24- to 30-month build," said Byers.
The towers are to comprised of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.
For the past decade, the housing corporation has worked to reinvent itself after government subsidized programs dried up.
Byers said the grocery store will be allocated 4,500 square feet and the daycare will accommodate up to 70 children.
The focus is to become sustainable while still providing affordable housing to those in need.
Byers said Namerind continues to evolve and Namerind Place is just the start.
Byers believes that multi-unit building is the future of affordable housing because apartment buildings are more efficient and cost effective.
Mayor Michael Fougere commended Namerind on its efforts to create more affordable housing units especially in downtown Regina.
He said Namerind is helping those and helping revive downtown Regina.
"It is affordable housing for aboriginal people and it's below-market (rates) and that's very important to have that done and they have been doing that for a number of years," said Fougere.
Also on Tuesday, Namerind hosted the grand opening of its new head office located at 1130 Winnipeg St.

Q: Are there any tools can record the call tree of each memory allocation in Windows? My project's memory usage has increased after version iteration (it's a multi-thread project). I want to know which part in code is causing the increase.
I think if I can record the call tree for each memory allocation, then I can cluster based on the stack and further identify the code that is causing the memory increase.
The tools should identify caller's dll or lib and record how much memory has been allocated during the entire run of the project.

A: I've been using Tracy profiler to track allocations. It requires you to overload the operator new and operator delete though. It comes with a nice visual interface also.
From tracy documentation:
void* operator new(std :: size_t count)
{
  auto ptr = malloc(count);
  TracyAlloc (ptr , count);
  return ptr;
}
void operator delete(void* ptr) noexcept
{
  TracyFree (ptr);
  free(ptr);
}

A: For memory leak detection in C/C++ code on Windows please have a look at the UMDH tool which is part of the "Debugging tools for Windows". You'll find many blog posts about how to use it.


Enjoy Some Holiday Cheer & Bites!
You're done with all the surfing, shopping and wrapping. Now it is time to put your feet up with your family and relax with a capital "R". I can't think of a better way to chill than to pick up some great wines, prepare some easy appetizers and sit by the fire with Bing Crosby singing I'm dreaming of a White Christmas in the background. We asked some of our favorite chefs and wine connoisseurs to give us their best ideas for doing just that, and we think you'll love what they've shared. If you haven't finished your shopping, go ahead and chill anyway. It will be there waiting for you tomorrow!
Melt Butter in pan, toast the baguette slices in a pan on the stove over medium high heat until golden brown on both sides; set aside.
Take goat cheese out of the refrigerator and let stand at room temp for about one hour. Cut the corner off of the packaging so you can easily squeeze the goat cheese out.
Cut the roma tomatoes in half and drizzle with olive oil; salt and pepper and roast at 220 degrees for 6 to 8 hours until tomatoes lose about half their volume. Let cool.
To assemble, spread the fig jam on the Crostini, then squeeze goat cheese on top of that, and top with a quarter of the cooled tomato.
Preheat oven to 375. Then melt the butter in water in a large pot. Add the flour and salt until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the pot. Move the dough to a stand mixer, use paddle attachment and as dough cools, add eggs a little at a time.
Next mix the dough with shredded cheddar at a ratio of 1 to 1, so 1 cup of the dough to 1 cup of cheddar. Mix lightly with your fingers until just blended. Scoop into small balls and bake at 375 until brown and crispy – start checking at 15 minutes. These are delicious warm or at room temperature, and you can mix in finely chopped ham, seasoned ground beef or other savory meat for a heavier appetizer.
Two wild and crazy white Russians!
Pour all ingredients over ice, garnish with a peppermint stick. Yum-Yum.
Delicious South African blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, & Tannat – a delicious spicy peppery mix, perfect on a cold winter night.
Wonderful medium-bodied Carneros chardonnay with just the right amount of oak. Made by a native Nashvillian- so a little local flair!
Beautiful sparkling wine from Italy, this has fresh aromas of white peach & honeysuckle & a creamy finish. A Tiffany blue label makes it a very elegant gift.
For an added touch, add an ornament or a wine stopper to your package. We love the wine stoppers from Knobstoppers located in Midtown.

A housing unit at Nayarmakandu in Nallur, Jaffana has been petrol-bombed by an unidentified group of people last afternoon (11), the Jaffna Security Forces stated.
A group of persons who had covered their faces have carried out the bomb attack.
The security forces said a van parked in the house premises was completely destroyed and three motorbikes and windows of the house were also damaged.
The security personnel said the attack had been carried out from outside the wall when the gates were closed.
There were no casualties caused to the people in the incident and only property was impaired.
Security forces say that, during the recent past, many areas including Nallur, Kopay were subjected to similar incidents.
Jaffna police are conducting further investigations.

Electricity generation, transmission and distribution guides
Analysis of Power Distribution Systems (The impact of distributed generation)
Home / Download Center / Electrical Engineering Books and Technical Guides / Electricity generation, t&d guides / Analysis of Power Distribution Systems (The impact of distributed generation)
Distribution System Structure
The distribution substation is the interconnection element between the distribution system and the upstream power delivery system. At the substation the step-down (HV/MV) transformer reduces the subtransmission voltage level to an appropriate value for primary distribution lines.
Analysis of Power Distribution Systems
Different protection, switching, and measurement equipment is installed at the substation to ensure a safe operation. The primary distribution lines spread across the consumption area served by the substation, these primary distributions lines are also known as feeders.
One or more lateral lines (or laterals) branch from distribution feeders and extend until they reach the step-down (MV/LV) distribution transformers, which are responsible for performing the final voltage reduction in order to obtain a voltage level adequate for customer use (e.g. 400 and 230 V).
The secondary distribution lines operating at a low-voltage level transport the energy to the customer's interconnection point. These lines are usually one-phase but there can also exist three-phase circuits.
Overhead lines are primarily used in rural circuits, whereas in urban circuits distribution lines are mostly underground. In suburban areas there can be a mixture of overhead and underground circuits. Big industrial zones are usually served by dedicated circuits as they represent large loads that can affect the service of other loads.
Figure 1 presents the typical configuration of a power distribution system, including the substation and the layout of one distribution feeder.
Figure 1 – Typical distribution system configuration
Reliability Assessment of Distribution Systems
Reliability analysis is a fundamental piece of distribution system planning and design. Reliability models and studies can be useful, among other aspects, to identify design limitations, quantify equipment improvements or determine the impact of system expansion.
The importance of reliability assessment is increasing with the advent of the smart grid. The future distribution system offers a potential of improved reliability by implementing rapid fault location and isolation, and service restoration.
It is widely accepted that distributed generation (DG) can have a positive impact on the distribution system since it can support voltage, reduce losses, provide backup power, provide ancillary services, or defer distribution system upgrade.
However, the connection of generation to the distribution system can cause miscoordination of protection devices and, if not properly handled, reduce reliability and power quality. Although distributed generation is often presented as a solution for reliability improvement, the fact is that such assumption is not widely accepted.
Two main modes of DG connection can be distinguished:
Operating as a backup source within a microgrid;
Operating in parallel with the distribution system.
In the first case, the generation units are locally operated and can be allowed to inject power to the system. If they are correctly controlled, they can have a positive impact on distribution system reliability.
A generation unit operating in parallel to the system can be forced to be disconnected in case of system fault, and the benefit to the system reliability is not so obvious and can be negative.

Oaklins Netherlands advises VAF Instruments on sale to Aalberts Industries
01 August 2018 Consultancy.eu
Netherlands-based Aalberts Industries has acquired VAF Instruments, a manufacturer of high-tech sensors and measurement systems. Around 85 employees of VAF Instruments will join Aalberts Industries, strengthening the firm's fluid control activities.
With revenues of over €2.7 billion, Aalberts Industries is one of the globe's larger manufacturer of so-called 'mission-critical systems' for industrial groups – technologies and software that support key processes of companies in, among others, the energy, oil & gas, industry, real estate and automotive sectors.
The company's latest acquisition – earlier deals include that of Ventrex Automotive, Eloxal-Werk-Burg, the French division of Thomson Genlis and Conbraco Industries – of VAF Instruments adds approximately €20 million to its revenue base. Founded in 1983, in Dordrecht, VAF Instruments supplies products to the power plant, industrial and marine sectors. In particular in the latter industry the company boasts a strong track record – for its product range VAF is a leading supplier to the top-100 shipyards and the vast majority of ship owners worldwide.
"VAF brings knowledge of high-tech sensors, measurement systems and performance management software engineering to the Aalberts portfolio," said a spokesperson of Aalberts Industries, adding "the global customer base will strongly improve our position in the marine and power generation end markets." In addition, the acquirer expects to leverage VAF's technical expertise to bolster its footprint in other segments. "VAF's portfolio can be valuable in other applications."
The two parties were brought together by an external M&A consultancy. Following a strategic review last year, VAF's shareholders concluded that finding a strategic partner would benefit the firm's growth endeavours. The company hired experts from the Dutch arm of Oaklins, a market M&A advisor with around 700 professionals globally, to lead the process. "We believed that Oaklins would do the best job at positioning our company in the right way to the right group of international buyers," explained Leo Blankenstein, CEO of VAF Instruments.
Months down the line, Fokko Poldervaart, a partner at Oaklins, said he is proud to have advised the shareholders of VAF Instruments on the successful deal. He commented; "In a market characterised by increasing levels of (environmental) regulation, a strong drive for fuel cost efficiency and tight budgets, we have been able to clearly demonstrate the exceptional position and potential of VAF Instruments. With a positive long-term outlook for VAF Instruments, both in new build and in retrofit categories, we are convinced the joining of forces will prove a positive story to Aalberts Industries."
Blankenstein added; "Oaklins' team proved its value to us throughout the process. They helped identify and structure the right deal with finally the right strategic partner for us, ticking of all the boxes from our wish list."
As part of the integration, the management team of VAF will continue to manage the company, while teaming up with Aalberts to drive synergies in growth, operations and innovation. Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
Other recent deals closed in the Netherlands include that of MAK Aandrijvingen, acquired by Swedish industrial conglomerate Axel Johnson International; software solutions firm Goyello, acquired by Indian IT player Aspire Systems, and; telecom & IT service providers Tritel and Fieber, purchased by Benelux private equity firm Vortex Capital Partners.
According to an analysis by KPMG, the number of deals in the Netherlands currently stands at its highest point in a decade.

We draw from our research as a social scientist and an engineer and from our experience helping to lead the Urban Resilience to Extreme Weather Events Sustainability Research Network (funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation). Here are six rules for investing in infrastructure for the 21st century that recognize the need to rethink how we design and operate our infrastructure.
If we design with the technologies, needs and climate conditions of the 20th century, we will no longer serve society and the hazards we will encounter now and in the future.
In 2017, U.S. infrastructure was given a D+ by the American Society for Civil Engineering Infrastructure Report Card. The bill to repair all those deteriorating roads, bridges and dams would tally $210 billion by 2020, and $520 billion in 2040. For example, the US Army Corps of Engineers estimates there are 15,460 dams in the U.S. with "high" hazard ratings.
Yet, when our cities and states spend on infrastructure, it is too often on new infrastructure projects. And new infrastructure tend to emulate the models, designs and standards that we've used for decades — for instance, more highway capacity or new pipelines.
When analyzing breakdowns in infrastructure, it is tempting to blame the technical design. Yet design parameters are set by institutions and shaped by politics, financing and policy goals.
So failures in infrastructure are not just technical failures; they are institutional ones as well. They are failures in "knowledge systems," or the ability to generate, communicate and utilize knowledge within and across institutions.
For example, the levee failures during Hurricane Katrina are often interpreted as technical failures. They were, but we also knew the levees would fail in a storm as powerful as Katrina. And so the levee failures were also failures in institutional design — the information about the weakness of the levees was not utilized in part because the Hurricane Protection System was poorly funded and lacked the necessary institutional and political power to force action.
In the wake of Harvey, basic design and floodplain development parameters, like the 100-year flood, are being acknowledged as fundamentally flawed. Our ability to design more resilient infrastructure will depend on our ability to design more effective institutions to manage these complex problems, learn from failures and adapt.
When it comes to infrastructure's ability to handle more extreme events that are predicted to come with climate change, the primary problem is not bad engineering or faulty technical designs. Instead, it's that infrastructure are typically sized based on the intensity and frequency of historical events. Yet these historical conditions are now routinely exceeded: since 1979, Houston alone has experienced three 500-year storms.
Climate change will make preparing for future storms much harder. These events are not just associated with precipitation and inland flooding but include more extreme heat, cold, drought, wildfires, coastal flooding and wind. Buildings, roads, water networks and other infrastructure last decades and designing for historical events may result in more frequent failure as events become more frequent or intense with climate change. Infrastructure designers and managers must shift from risk-based to resilience-based thinking, so that our systems can better withstand and bounce back from these extreme events.
Infrastructure planning and design must consider the legacy of past decisions and how risks build up over time as ecological, technological and human systems interact in increasingly uncertain and complex ways.
Given that our infrastructures are centralized and satisfy demands that don't change rapidly (we use water and electricity much in the way we did over the past century), they tend to be inflexible. Yet we need our urban systems and the infrastructure that support them to be resilient. And flexibility is a necessary precondition for resilience.
Current designs favor robustness and redundancy. These infrastructure tend to be difficult to change and the managing institutions are often structured and constrained in ways that create barriers to flexibility. Consider the difference in flexibility of landline versus mobile phones, in terms of both use and changing the hardware. Similarly, new strategies are needed to incorporate flexibility into our infrastructure. In the case of hurricanes, roadways with smart signaling and controls that dynamically adjust stoplights and reverse lanes to allow vehicles to evacuate quickly would be of significant value.
Large disasters almost always highlight systemic social inequalities in our communities, as we saw in the 1995 Chicago heat wave, Hurricane Katrina and now Hurricane Harvey.
Yet as cities rebuild and other cities watch to glean lessons, we consistently sidestep the historical legacies, public policies and political-economic structures that continue to make low-income and minority populations, such as homeless people, more vulnerable to extreme weather events. For this to change, infrastructure must be designed with the most vulnerable in mind first.
Too often the services delivered by climate-resilient infrastructure are first built for the communities that have the economic and political power to demand them, resulting in what some have called ecological gentrification. Policymakers and planners must engage diverse communities and ensure that infrastructure services are designed for everyone — and communities need to demand it.

Q: How do I create an Enum from an interger value My application has the following Enum.
object UserTokenType extends Enumeration {
  type TokenType = Value
  val RegistrationConfirmation = Value("RegistrationConfirmation")
  val ResetPasswordConfirmation = Value("ResetPasswordConfirmation")
}

I store the value of the enum in the database by using the id of the Enum. When I read the value from the database, I want to recreate the Enum so that I can pass it around in my data model. At the moment, I have done it as follows
val userTokenType:UserTokenType.TokenType = if(row.getInt("is_sign_up") == UserTokenType.RegistrationConfirmation.id) {
      UserTokenType.RegistrationConfirmation
    }else{
      UserTokenType.ResetPasswordConfirmation
    }

Is above the right way of converting an Int into an Enum?

A: As @som-snytt mentioned in the comment, you can use [apply(x:Int)](https://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/Enumeration.html#apply(x:Int) :Enumeration.this.Value) to construct enum:
row.getInt("is_sign_up") match {
  case id if id >= 0 && id < UserTokenType.maxId => Some(UserTokenType(id))
  case _ => None
}

The Texas family law judge was secretly taped by his daughter beating her seven years ago – but he won't be charged with an offence.
THE FAMILY LAW judge whose daughter secretly filmed him beating her seven years ago will not face criminal charges.
Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams likely would have been charged with causing injury to a child or other assault-related offences for the 2004 beating of his then-16-year-old daughter, but the five-year statutes of limitations expired.
Police said they believe that there was a criminal offence involved and that there was substantial evidence to indicate that and under normal circumstances a charge could have been made.
Hillary Adams, now 23, posted the 8-minute clip on YouTube last week that shows her father viciously lashing her with a belt.
The clip had received more than 2.4 million hits as of yesterday, and police began investigating on Wednesday after hearing from concerned citizens.
William Adams, 51, issued a three-page statement saying his daughter posted the clip to get back at him for telling her he would be reducing the amount of financial support he gives her and taking away her Mercedes.
He told Corpus Christi television station KZTV on Wednesday that the video "looks worse than it is," that he had already apologised to his daughter and that he was just disciplining his child for stealing.
Hillary Adams says her parents were angry because she had downloaded pirated content online, and that she turned on the camera because she sensed something was going to happen.
William Adams, who presides over child abuse cases, is still being investigated by the state's judicial conduct commission and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, which requested that he be removed from its cases until the investigation concludes.
There are no allegations of alleged abuse by Adams against his younger daughter, who primarily resides with her mother, Hallie Adams.
If the judicial commission and police investigations don't lead to punishment or charges, Adams could be safe on the bench until he's up for re-election in three years.
Hillary Adams said she waited so long to expose her father because she was terrified at what might have happened had she done so while still living under his roof.

Ålesund is beautifully situated on several islands on the coast of Sunnmøre, and is the gateway to some of the world's most famous fjords and natural attractions. The town has a strong and vibrant history, dating back to the Viking era, even though it wasn't granted municipal status until 1848.
The town was devastated in an enormous fire on January 23rd 1904, and as 850 houses burnt down, more than 10.000 people were left homeless.
In the years to follow, Ålesund was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style that characterizes the town today with its many turrets, ornaments and colourful facades. A museum celebrating this architectural style saw the light of day the summer of 2003, when The Art Nouveau Centre (Jugendstilsenteret) opened its doors in the listed building The Swan Pharmacy.
The town mountain Aksla has got a spectacular panoramic view of the Sunnmøre Alps, the town centre, the ocean and the islands in the archipelago, so a walk up the mountain's 418 steps is worth the effort!
Today Ålesund is a modern and rapidly growing town, and with its 46 316 inhabitants it is the natural commercial and industrial capital of the Sunnmøre region. In Ålesund you can find a variety of exciting attractions, restaurants, shops and activities to dive into.
The town has got a strong tradition in the maritime industry, and is considered the fisheries capital of Norway. Ålesund is also one of the world's largest export harbours when it comes to "klippfisk", i.e dried and salted codfish. Enjoy a savoury meal made from this delicacy in one of Ålesund's many fine restaurants; it is a meal to remember!
Moa swimming pool complex, ÅlesundMoa swimming pool complex, has got pools in various sizes, and long waterslides for fun and enjoyment. You'll also find modern solariums here, and you can rent or buy different types of equipment and clothes for swimming.

This is written with magic-loop in mind, but proficient dpn user should be able to read it – you might find placing a stitch marker.
Once the heel is completed, slip the held stitches back into play and continue to work the striped illusion chart pattern in the round.
really a good blog.you had shared enough information in in and with it others will be benefited.i will try to make one of those at home.thanks for sharing.

János Fadrusz
The native form of this personal name is Fadrusz János. This article uses Western name order when mentioning individuals.
(1858-09-02)2 September 1858
Pressburg, Kingdom of Hungary, Austrian Empire
(now Bratislava, Slovakia)
Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary
(now Hungary)
János Fadrusz (2 September 1858, Pressburg - 26 October 1903, Budapest) was a Hungarian[1][2][3][4][5][6] sculptor. He was a celebrated artist of the age with many important public commissions.
2 Sculptural work
Born in Pressburg, Hungary (Hungarian: Pozsony) (today Bratislava, Slovakia), Fadrusz came from a peasant family and went to school in Pressburg where he did four years of primary school and two years of secondary school before an apprenticeship as a locksmith. On completing the apprenticeship he won a gold medal for a portal design and his carved works were instantly met with recognition. He enrolled at the school of wood-carving in Zayugróc.
Sculptural work[edit]
During military service in Prague between 1879 and 1883 he met Josef Václav Myslbek, a famous Czech sculptor and his influence played a role in his change of direction into china painting and sculpture. "Ahusversus' Head", a plaster cast, was met with praise and brought him patrons. As the winner of a scholarship, he worked under Viktor Tilgner, a neo-baroque sculptor, in Vienna from 1886 onwards, then became the pupil of Edmund Hellmer at the Vienna Academy. Fadrusz also fashioned a list of portraits (Cézar Scomparini in 1886, Károly Naszidler in 1889, and Mrs. Tivadar Ortvay in 1888).
His "Crucifix", which he sculpted in Vienna in 1892, made him famous throughout Hungary.
Late in 1892, Fadrusz received a commission to produce the equestrian statue of "Maria Theresa" in Pressburg, which he worked on between 1892 and 1896, but which was later completely destroyed in 1921 by slovak nationalists. In 1894 he was awarded the first prize for his plan of "King Matthias", another equestrian statue, which was unveiled in Kolozsvár (today Cluj-Napoca) in 1902. He completed two allegorical statues for the Hungarian Palace of Justice in 1893 (which are now in the possession of the Hungarian Ethnographic Museum).
His major works in the twentieth century modeled shortly before his death include the Equestrian Statue of Béla Wenckheim (Kisbér, 1901), Statue of Wesselényi (Zilah, 1901), Tuhutum Memorial (Zilah, 1902), and Statue of Lajos Tisza (Szeged, 1903).
Fadrusz also modeled two "Atlas Figures" in 1897 and two lions for the grand gates of Buda Castle between 1901 and 1902.
Fadrusz died in 1903.

Suprised ❤❤ I was very skeptical about buying this product as there were many reviews that said there would be a typo in the words, when it first arrived and took it out of the package wow I was amazed it's not glass but looks just like glass it's a little smaller then I thought but it looks to nice when you turn I'm on the light.
Great gift I bought this as a gift for my mom. She always tell my kids love you to the moon and back. And I saw it and thought it would be cute. I love how it lights up, and it bright blue too, very noticeable light. My mom absolutely loved it. She has it on her mantle in her living room.
Size does matter I expected this to be a little bigger, it is however a really nice light and a great gift for someone you love. i gave it to my girlfriend and she loved it, the price is great everything is great just the size I was expecting it to be a bit bigger.


The service from this company is second to none, nothing is too much trouble. As for the tile, they look amazing, we had it laid in herring bone design everyone who has seen it thought it was a wooden floor. We started off with just our dining and breakfast room being done and have since gone on to have our staircase, kitchen and hallway. The tiler worked wonders on the staircase (quite a challenge). Can't praise the tiler enough.
Kerry: 5 star. Anyone looking to transform their bathroom it kitchen needs to go and see Colin at the Salford - Manchester branch, so helpful, patient and understanding of what you are trying to achieve! A true asset to your company!
