Warushavithana Upul Tharanga (born 2 February 1985), commonly known as Upul Tharanga (Sinhala: උපුල් තරංග), is a professional Sri Lankan cricketer, and a former limited over captain who plays for all formats of the game. He is a left-handed opening batsman and occasional wicket-keeper.
Born on 2 February 1985 as the youngest of the family, Tharanga was born at Balapitiya General Hospital. His father Warushavithanage Bhadrasoma was a fish market dealer. His mother R.J Padma is a housewife and Tharanga has one elder brother Nuwan Tharanga and one elder sister Kumesha Manori. Though his brother used to enjoy swimming, Tharanga chose cricket at the younger age. He first attended Devananda College, Ambalangoda, and passed grade 5 scholarship in 1995. Since then, Tharanga had his secondary education at Dharmasoka College, Ambalangoda until ordinary level. However, with many cricket tours, he could not complete education towards advanced level. He started his cricket career as a teenager at his school.
In March 2018, he was named in Galle's squad for the 2017–18 Super Four Provincial Tournament. The following month, he was also named as the captain of Galle's squad for the 2018 Super Provincial One Day Tournament. He was the leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 396 runs in six matches.
In August 2018, he was named as Colombo's vice-captain for the 2018 SLC T20 League. In the opening match of the tournament, he scored 124 not out, with Colombo going on to beat Galle by 90 runs. He was the leading run-scorer for the tournament, finishing with 414 runs in six matches, including another unbeaten century in the final.
In March 2019, he was named in Colombo's squad for the 2019 Super Provincial One Day Tournament.
Tharanga lost his form in the 2007 World Cup scoring only one half century (against New Zealand) he then continued his poor run of form in the home series against England in 2007 where he failed to contribute and often fell before the 10th over often resulting in a middle-order collapse. Subsequently, he lost his ODI place to Malinda Warnapura and his test place to Michael Vandort but he remains within the squad.
On 2 July 2013, Upul Tharanga scored the second highest ODI score of 174* by a Sri Lankan only behind Sanath Jayasuriya who scored 189 against India. With that innings he became the 9th Sri Lankan player to pass 5000 runs margin. Despite of his low match participation, he has earned 13 centuries and 12 man of the match titles for his name throughout his international career.
Tharanga is the fastest Sri Lankan to reach 4000 ODI runs, reached by 119 innings.
On 16 October 2017, Tharanga became the first batsman for Sri Lanka, and the first captain overall, to carry his bat in an ODI.
Under Upul Tharanga captaincy, Sri Lanka suffered three 5-0 whitewashes in the year 2017. Apart from suffering whitewashes at the hands of South Africa, India and Pakistan in 2017, that threatened automatic qualification for the 2019 Cricket World Cup, Tharanga also got into trouble twice due to slow over rates and was suspended.
On 29 November 2017, Sri Lanka Cricket sacked Tharanga from captaincy and Thisara Perera was named as Sri Lanka's captain for the ODI and T20I matches against India. Under Tharanga's captaincy, Sri Lanka suffered three 5-0 ODI whitewashes in the year 2017 against South Africa, India and Pakistan. His win/loss ratio is 4/15.
In May 2018, he was one of 33 cricketers to be awarded a national contract by Sri Lanka Cricket ahead of the 2018–19 season.
In his third Test match he scored his first Test Century in Shaheed Chandu Stadium, Bogra. Tharanga made his ODI debut against West Indies in 2005. He scored his first ODI century back in 2005 against Bangladesh scoring 105 in R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. His highest ODI score came in 2013 against India where he scored 174 Not out at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. It's the second highest score by Sri Lankan in ODI after Sanath Jayasuriya's 189. As of 6 May 2017 Tharanga has scored three Test centuries and 15 ODI centuries.

On Jan. 31, 2018, manufacturers and retailers spanning the tobacco, vapor and alternative industries all gathered in Las Vegas for Tobacco Plus Expo 2018. This year's keynote address was delivered by Jonathan Drew, president and founder of Drew Estate, a premium cigar manufacturer that has been in business for two decades. In what turned into a revealing recount of Drew Estate's beginnings to where it is today, Drew allowed the audience into his life as an entrepreneur and brand owner, revealing what many would consider to be private and personal accounts of what it took–and still takes–to be a success in today's tobacco industry.
Drew kicked off his keynote by taking the audience back to his beginnings, showing a picture of himself taken back in 1996 while living in Brooklyn, NY.
After describing a less-than-stellar experience in law school, Drew realized that a career in cigars was another career worth pursuing since many of his friends came to him for cigars. In 1995, he opened up push kart within the World Trade Center where he sold cigars. It was the early days working as a retailer that gave him the foundation needed to become an independent representative selling cigars and later a wholesaler. Having experience from the consumer level all the way to the wholesaler level gave Drew the experience needed to be successful as a brand owner and manufacturer later in life.
Another pivotal moment which Drew focused on was moving to Nicaragua to create his own brand and company. He moved to Nicaragua with little money, unable to speak Spanish, and not a lot of resources to fall back on. At this time, Nicaragua was just emerging from a revolution and its cigar culture was in its infantile stage. Drew went on to describe how he and those at Drew Estate got the community around them involved in building not just the brand but the cigar culture that would make Nicaragua as competitive as Cuba and the Dominican Republic. While building the brand, the decision was made to keep the factory and what they were doing quiet and under the radar in the early days.
"Everything we were doing and the decisions we were making were very raw–they were really based on emotion, they were based in passion, and it was probably the most organic and holistic experiences that I had ever seen," Drew described.
While Drew said he had his doubts about how frequently people changed, he came to realize it was true. Creating a values system for Drew Estate was incredibly important to the company's success, enabling it to become a cult brand and disrupt the cigar industry at the same time. On the topic of disruption, Drew delved deeper into what it takes to be a disruptor, a phrase that is often tied to him and his cigar brand. To describe disruption, he examined the phrase 'category killer' and how it related to snus products, a tobacco category that found much success and popularity but was sidelined and has yet to cover from the introduction of e-cigarettes.
Perhaps the most engaging part of the keynote was Drew talking about business and lessons he's learned from failure. Where many entrepreneurs would shy away from discussing failures, Drew embraced his and made them the centerpiece of his keynote. From a list of brands and products that didn't work to manufacturing mishaps that threatened to to put an end to Drew Estate, the audience was treated to a personal inside look and lesson in business that failure is just as important and valuable as any success one can have.
After playing a snippet of Wu-Tang Clan's "Can It All Be So Simple?", Drew talked about how after taking a 45 day vacation he returned to find out that his factory had been producing tight cigars, meaning they would draw no smoke. This was what he described as a brand killer, a major disaster, something that could have financially ruined him and his company. He used this failure to reach out to La Gloria Cubana's Ernesto Perez-Carrillo who flew out to Nicaragua and helped the company redesign, re-engineer and rebuild how it rolled a premium cigar. This is one of the things Drew feels his company does better than anyone in the industry and has become one of the company's core competencies.
He also explored the importance of segment stacking. Segment stacking is creating a new segment rather than a new brand that will negatively impact the sales of your other brands.
Another important piece in Drew Estate's growth plan was the focus on experience. The company's Cigar Safari program, where it flies out several hundred people a year to its factory in Nicaragua, built the foundation it needed to go from its popular infused ACID cigar product to a more traditional premium one, Liga Privada. Drew Estate later expanded on its experience building with the introduction of the Drew Estate Barn Smoker events in the U.S., bringing followers and fans of Drew Estate together in Kentucky, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and using that opportunity to educate them on the product.
On the subject of Liga Privada, which is one of the most popular cigar products the company has to offer, Drew admitted that though the brand found early success, how the company rolled it out to retailers could have been handled better.
Drew noted that he found inspiration in Jeff and Tanya Borysiewicz and their Corona Cigar Co. with his latest entrepreneurial move–the spirits company John Drew Brands. Seeing how Borysiewicz created a retail space where sales were segmented between cigar sales and spirits, Drew saw opportunity in bringing that same model into his own business–continuing to sell premium cigars through Drew Estate but also expanding into the spirits category with his own liquor products that could stand on their own as strong brands.
"Are we going to be a branded house or house of brands," Drew asked as he continued to emphasize Drew Estate's focus on pull rather than push (pull, Drew said, was having people walk into a store and ask for a product where as push was forcing products onto customers). At the end of the day, the consumer pull is what Drew Estate has focused on since its early days and continues to feel is very important to its overall growth.

"DO YOU TAKE credit?" That's a question consumers used to ask a lot. But today most business owners know that not offering payment by plastic costs them in sales. Consumers prefer credit for a variety of reasons. Some people use their cards when they're making a large purchase. Others want to save cash in hand or gain loyalty points, such as airline miles. Some are making reim-bursable purchases for a company. Whatever the reason, cash-only merchants miss lots of sales opportunities.
"Without my Virtual Merchant account, I [would] lose between $1,000 and $3,000 in sales every weekend," says longtime Costco member Joe Beal of Bend, Oregon. Through his company, Bringing Friends Fun and Laughter, he sells high-grade stainless steel water bottles at Saturday markets and festivals.

Home Special Features Guest Commentary Eminent Domain Reform Is a Bipartisan Opportunity
Eminent Domain Reform Is a Bipartisan Opportunity
Reason Foundation
A. BARTON HINKLE – If you could use some good news—and these days, who couldn't?—pay attention to Virginia's debate on eminent domain. The progress toward a constitutional amendment limiting that power has something to gladden the heart of every political type.
Lawmakers approved the measure for the first time last year. They will have to pass it again a second time before it can go to the voters in a referendum. If the voters approve it, then the language will be added to the state Constitution.
Passage seems likely. The November elections increased the Republican count in both chambers of the General Assembly, which—in the wake of the Kelo ruling by the Supreme Court—approved a 2007 law to constrict eminent-domain authority. Essentially, the constitutional amendment would elevate the statutory protections to constitutional ones. The measure restores the rights that the Supreme Court eviscerated by ensuring that private property can be taken only for truly public uses—not to promote economic development, or to increase the tax base, or to enrich powerful special interests.
It would thereby preclude episodes such as Roanoke's condemnation of property owned by Jay and Stephanie Burkholder. The city's redevelopment authority seized their property to hand it over to Carilion Clinic, a regional health-care organization with eight hospitals and 600 doctors. No sooner had Roanoke won than Carilion announced it didn't want the property after all.
The Amendment also might discourage localities from using the threat of eminent domain as a negotiating ploy—something Alexandria has done in a long-running dispute with the Old Dominion Boat Club that will soon be heard by the Virginia Supreme Court.
Not surprisingly, local governments oppose the amendment. Among other things, they worry about a provision stipulating that property owners should be compensated for the loss of business resulting from government takings. Does this mean they would support the amendment absent that provision? Er, no. The Virginia Municipal League (VML) and the Virginia Association of Counties (VACO) fought 2007's statutory effort to protect property rights as well. The VML did not want to limit condemnation only "to pure public uses" and felt Kelo produced "the correct outcome."
Well. Kelo allowed New London, Conn., to bulldoze the blue-collar neighborhood of Fort Trumbull for an economic-development project. The project never happened, and the neighborhood was turned into a dump. Literally: Officials designated the area a dumping ground for debris from Tropical Storm Irene.
Keep that in mind when localities start warning about the Virginia amendment's "unintended consquences." In Kelo, the Supreme Court allowed local governments to confiscate property for no stronger reason than their own speculation that handing it over to somebody else might, at some point in the future, bring in more tax revenue. No proof was required, leaving it up to homeowners to prove why their property shouldn't be taken. Virginia's proposed constitutional amendment would shift the burden of proof back where it belongs: on the governments that want to seize property in the first place.
Critics of the amendment say existing state protections should suffice. Not really. Ask yourself: Would you feel comfortable knowing other basic rights—such as the right to speech or freedom of worship – were guaranteed only by statute? Rights should be written into constitutions, which are the rules by which we decide how all other rules get written.
This is an easy sell to conservatives, who tend to favor property rights. But liberals have good reasons for supporting the amendment as well. The first is the asymmetrical nature of government takings. Local governments are never going to seize property from rich developers and give it to poor homeowners. The process will always flow in the other direction, which makes eminent domain for economic development purposes repulsive from a social-justice perspective.
Second, as Justice Clarence Thomas pointed out, the courts would never cede their judgment to the other branches of government in a Fourth Amendment question about when authorities should be allowed to search a home. Yet in Kelo they are expected to cede their judgment in the Fifth Amendment question about when authorities can tear one down.
Third, property is "the guardian of every other right." You can do things in the privacy of your home that you cannot do on public property. Strong safeguards for private property help protect other rights as well.
One final point. Liberals are deeply worried that after November's elections social conservatives will swing a lot more weight—and will use it to impose restrictions on women's reproductive rights. And granted, progressives will find pro-life absolutists unresponsive to any argument they make. But they might be able to start a dialogue with less adamant conservatives by pointing out that questions of eminent domain and reproductive rights are not wholly unrelated. No property is more private than your body (if you don't own it, then who does?) – and no one can truly be said to value property rights if he thinks the government should tell you what to do with it.

City of Miami officials plan to ask state legislators next spring to permit tax breaks for condominium developers in an effort to lure residents to the central business district.
Miami commissioners next week will discuss tax abatements for commercial rental properties in neighborhoods along the Miami River and in the downtown area.
If passed, developers of rental projects could be eligible for exemptions of up to 100% of assessed value of any improvements or expansion to a business. The exemptions would only apply to the city portion of the developer's property taxes and be valid for up to 10 years.
A state statute prohibits applying such incentives to for-sale units, said Dena Bianchino, an assistant city manager.
Mayor Manny Diaz said he plans to go to Tallahassee to lobby in person for legislation that could allow such breaks on for-sale properties. He said his administration is committed to making it easier for developers to build condos where home ownership is almost inexistent.
There is now only one project planned for the district that will add condo units for middle-income households. The 90-unit Flagler First Condominium, 101 E Flagler St., will result from the conversion of an old office building into condos. Those renovations started a few months ago and could be complete by late next year.
Many developers shun investing in the business district because comparable properties don't exist to help them determine demand and how much buyers would be willing to pay to live there, said Jason McArthur, director of Wood Partners, which builds multi-family projects. His company's main office is in Atlanta but he is based in Boca Raton.
Mr. McArthur said his firm is interested in developing Miami's the central business district but right now "it is too risky."
He said Miami-Dade and city governments do provide grants to promote development, but the funds have so many strings attached that it often makes no economic sense to use them. He said granting tax breaks could make a difference.
"They should give incentives, including per-unit subsidies, to the first 1,000 units in the area," he said. "After that, they could cut back in incentives."
Rafael Kapustin, one of the developers of First Flagler and a downtown landowner, said the area needs three basic incentives: tax abatements on for-sale units, reimbursement of building-permit and impact fees, and fast-tracking of the application and review process.
"These," he said, "are the ingredients to build a vibrant downtown."


Pattern Description: Pullover shift dress (semi-fitted through bust) has back neck slit, hook/eye closing and narrow hem.

Fabric Used: 2 different Vlisco 100% Wax Cotton Fabric.
Did it look like the photo on the pattern envelope once you are done sewing with it? Yes but in prints.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, super easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love everything about this pattern. It's super easy and fast to make plus it allows for mixing of color and prints.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made? I increased the length by 3 inches.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and Yes!!!
Thank you so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Does the UK have the world's third most powerful military?
Published: 24th Apr 2019
Britain is the third largest military power in the world.
A think tank ranked the UK third in the world for "military might" based on judgements about countries' defence spending, nuclear power, infrastructure, personnel and readiness. But this isn't the only way to measure military strength and a number of others rank the UK slightly lower.
"Britain is the … third largest military power,"
Toby Young, 19 April 2019
Mr Young told us his figures came from a think tank, the Henry Jackson Society, which ranks the UK third when it comes to "military might", behind the US and Russia and just ahead of China and France. Its calculation incorporates a country's military manufacturing industry, defence spending, nuclear arsenal, overseas military facilities and the ability to deploy forces.
There are a number of different ways you can measure the size of a country's military power, and organisations other than the Henry Jackson Society produce rankings with different methods. One such measure produced by the bank Credit Suisse ranks the UK military ninth, while an organisation called Global Firepower puts the UK eighth.
None of these rankings is right or wrong, but they all make subjective decisions as to how to create their ranking. So it may also be useful to compare the UK's military might to other countries based on metrics that aren't so subjective.
For example, the UK has either the sixth or seventh biggest defence budget in the world, depending on how you measure it. It's the sixth largest at $56 billion in 2017 according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), or seventh most at $47 billion according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), a figure with is also more in-line with official UK data.
In terms of personnel, the UK active military was estimated to be the 43rd largest in 2016 according to IISS.
Finally, the UK has the fifth largest total nuclear arsenal according to a 2018 estimate by SIPRI.

Stanley A McChrystal Biography
(Retired Armed Force Officer)
Birthday: August 14, 1954 (Leo)
Born In: Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, United States
Stanley A McChrystal is a former 'United States Army' general, also known as the founder of the 'McChrystal Group.' He is also known for his role in the 'Joint Special Operations Command' (JSOC) in the 2000s. He was responsible for the death of 'Al-Qaeda' leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. He was also associated with the cover-up of the Pat Tillman friendly fire incident. His open nature and his habit of speaking his mind on topics that people usually avoid helped him in his career but also got him relieved of his command. He is considered an excellent military man and leader. After he made some inappropriate comments on a few administration officials, President Obama decided to accept his resignation as a commander in Afghanistan. A few days later, he announced he was retiring.

Stanley McChrystal was born on August 14, 1954, into a military family. He has five siblings, all of whom either ventured into military careers or married into military families.
He attended high school at 'St. John's College High School' in Washington, DC. Following this, he went to the 'United States Military Academy' at West Point, New York, and graduated in 1976. Soon after graduation, he was appointed as a second lieutenant in the 'US Army.'
Leo Entrepreneurs
His first assignment was as a weapons platoon leader with 'C Company.' He then served as a rifle platoon leader and an executive officer until November 1978. Following this, he took the 'Special Forces Officer Course' at the 'Special Forces School,' Fort Bragg, North Carolina. After completing the course, he was kept there as the commander of 'Operational Detachment – Alpha 714,' in 'A Company,' '1st Battalion,' '7th Special Forces Group' (Airborne). He continued his military education by attending the 'Infantry Officer Advanced Course' at Fort Benning, Georgia.
His career path took him to South Korea in 1981, where he worked as an intelligence and operations officer for the 'United Nations Command Support Group – Joint Security Area.' The following year, he came back to Georgia, this time at Fort Stewart, as a training officer in the 'Directorate of Plans and Training,' 'A Company,' 'Headquarters Command.'
McChrystal never stopped moving forward with his studies. In 1990, he got his master's degree in national security and strategic studies from the 'Naval War College' and was assigned to the 'JSOC.' It was a task force that integrated many special operation units, such as the 'Delta Force' and the 'Navy SEALs.' When the Persian Gulf War began in 1991, he was sent to Saudi Arabia to supervise the search for Iraqi mobile 'Scud' missile launchers. He did such a great job that he was promoted to the position of lieutenant colonel.
He spent the next few years in command of the '82nd Airborne Division' and the '75th Ranger Regiment' and became a full colonel in 1996. Around the same time, he went to 'Harvard' to study at the 'John F. Kennedy School of Government' and took on the 'warrior-scholar' ethics. Then, in 1999, he became a military fellow at the 'Council on Foreign Relations' and later went back to the '82nd Airborne' to be a brigadier general.
When the Iraq War began, he was a member of the 'Joint Staff' at the 'Pentagon' and was even selected to deliver the televised briefings, having the chance to announce to the public that the major conflicts were over after the fall of Baghdad.
He spent many years with the 'JSOC,' where he even earned the nickname "hidden general" and was given his second and third stars. It is believed he is also responsible for making the 'JSOC' and the 'Central Intelligence Agency' (CIA) work together.
In February 2008, he was nominated by George W Bush to become the director of the 'Joint Staff' after Lieutenant General Walter L Sharp. His confirmation by the senate took longer than expected because some members needed to further investigate the incident concerning the abuse on the detainees.
In June 2009, McChrystal was put in command of the joint 'NATO–US' mission in Afghanistan, probably as an attempt to improve their counterterrorism operation. Soon, he received his fourth star. His strategy included interactions with the Afghan people in order to reduce civilian casualties. However, he lost that position after he and some members of his staff made a few unpleasant comments about top officials in the Obama administration in an interview to a reporter from 'Rolling Stones' magazine.
At that point, he retired from military life. He later founded the 'McChrystal Group,' which offers business consulting services.

His career is outstanding but not free from controversies. The biggest scandal that hit him concerned the friendly-fire death of Pat Tillman. Tillman was a 'Ranger' and a former professional football player, who was killed on April 22, 2004, while on patrol in Afghanistan, by three bullets to the head, shot by American weapons. It was McChrystal's job to prepare the paperwork to award Tillman a 'Silver Star.' The problem was that the documents did not mention he had been killed by friendly fire. Additionally, there were false statements in the file. He notified the 'White House' not to include the 'Silver Star' recommendation in any of the President's speeches, because if the truth came out, there would be a scandal. Although there was an investigation conducted by the 'Pentagon' in that matter, no measures were taken against him.
Another controversy that plagued him was related to the interrogation methods used by his unit, especially at Camp Nama where, it is believed, the detainees were highly abused. This led to several members of the task force being disciplined.

Family & Personal Life
All of Stanley McChrystal's family was in the army. His father was Major General Herbert Joseph McChrystal, his grandfather was a 'US Army' colonel, and his older brother is a retired army chaplain.
Even his wife, Annie Corcoran, was from a military family. They got married in 1977 and have a son. Rumors claim that McChrystal follows a drastic regime designed to keep him fit. It is believed he only sleeps 4 hours a night, runs on a regular basis, and only has one meal a day.
He wrote his memoirs, 'My Share of the Task,' and co-authored 'Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World' and 'Leaders: Myth and Reality.'

Even though we haven't seen too much of the Polish city Szczecin till now, we wanted to give you a first impression of where we are!
After a day full of hitches, we finally just checked-in to the Novotel Centrum Szczecin. The room is very average – we are curious about what the Polish border town Szczecin has to offer!
Living close to a border means many opportunities to discover the other side of the border. Poland is our newest focus, so we decided to explore Wroclaw this weekend! Platinum Palace is a bit outside the city center. Our room is interesting as the bathroom is open!
Poznan is a beautiful city – I tell you that because I had no idea of that either when I got in a train to this city though. Here are our first impressions!
Time to improve our Polish and to discover cities in Poland! We started our tour this weekend with Poznan and just arrived at the City Park Hotel & Residences. Big, solid room with a plant and a kitchen in it. We like it!

by the Gairdner Foundation
Every year, the Gairdner Awards celebrate science and research excellence in the medical health areas. Since 1957, they have given out 395 awards – 95 of these recipients would go on to also win a Nobel Prize!
In collaboration with the Canadian Society of Molecular Biosciences and the Michael Smith Laboratories at UBC, these materials were produced to provide a series of articles, comics, videos and accompanying lesson ideas to celebrate the science of a selection of the 2020 Canada Gairdner Awardees. This builds on the Gairdner Foundation's partnership with CSMB and Michael Smith Laboratories at UBC, which began last year.
Comics and videos are generally good for middle school ages (Grade 7 to 9), whereas the articles are written mostly for Grade 10 to 12 readers. Classroom activities are generally designed for Grade 10 to 12, although some are adaptable for use with younger students. Note that not all activities are in line with COVID related measures.
The full package, which includes articles, comics and classroom activities can be downloaded as a free 42 page pdf here.
We invite you to view and share these documents widely, as they highlight the impact science has in our lives and our understanding of the world.

This past weekend I attended a baby shower for a very good friend. The host was her best friend. I had never met the BFF before, even though the shower honoree had been a very dear friend of mine for several years. I had heard about her but seeing the two of them together was too cute for words. I watched the host (aka BFF) tear up as she spoke about our dear friend and their almost lifelong friendship. She talked about how they met when they were five and how every important life event from Bat Mitzvah to weddings they had been at each other's side. I felt a tinge of envy because growing up I moved around so much that sadly, I would never have a story like that to tell.
The truth is I have always had a BFF but at different stages of my life. I had a few grade school BFF's, a middle school BFF, a high school BFF, a college BFF and now in my adult life I have a grown up BFF. Being a military kid meant moving every three years and starting over. I always kept in touch with my best friends but absence in platonic relationships doesn't always make the heart grow fonder. Luckily, I never had a problem connecting with another soul mate. That being said, even though I won't be able to go back to kindergarten with my lifelong BFF, I have been fortunate enough to have shared a special bond with several amazing women over the years.
We speak the same language-There is a hilarious episode of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix where a gay man pays another gay man to learn to communicate like a straight man. They are at a bar and the teacher starts to role play about how his wife is sick. The trainee first starts to tisk tisk and then nods his head. The teacher grabs his face and says "straight men make no acknowledgment at all that they heard what the other person is saying." "Just look straight ahead!" Obviously this is overgeneralization and stereotypical but the truth is men do communicate differently than women.
We know when to listen and when to give advice-Men ALWAYS want to fix things. Sometimes we just need a sounding board and not a solution. However, we want that sounding board to display active listening skills, you know… head nods, and an occasional umm hmm.
We can be our authentic selves-You and your significant other should have a relationship that is unique and beautiful in its own right but I believe in a little bit of mystery. He doesn't need to know every detail of your Brazilian wax disaster or how many foundations you have tried to get that no makeup look. Leave a little to the imagination and hash out the logistics with your BFF.
We know where all the bodies are buried-Again, I believe in disclosure but he also doesn't need to know about every detail of every failed relationship. Sharing past sexual histories and important medical information is imperative but that week you spent on your couch in your PJ's with Haagen Dazs and Kleenex thinking that you would never laugh or love again is BFF classified.
We inspire each other to be great through friendly competition-I hear all the time that women are competitive, well so are men, with each other, in a slightly different way. There is nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. It inspires us to be better than we were the day before. If your friends don't inspire you, you might need new friends!
And finally, since many of you reading this are single moms I can pull back the curtain without being a Negative Nancy.
Your friendships should last a lifetime even if your relationship doesn't.
So, if you are one of those ladies who disappears when a new man comes into your life pick up the phone and call your BFF today. You will be glad that you did!
There's an app for that! http://heyvina.com is like Tinder for girl friends!

The Somali Stock Exchange (SSE), also known as the Somalia Stock Exchange, is the national bourse of Somalia  founded by SEF.

Overview

The Somali Stock Exchange (SSE) was founded by the management of the Somali Economic Forum (SEF), whose principal aim is to encourage Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Somalia's growing economy. The company has already made history by becoming the first ever stock exchange to operate inside of Somalia, with the first shares sold on 1st September 2015 at the exchange's offices in Garowe, Mogadishu and Hargeisa.

Historically, shares in Somali businesses have been bought and sold informally through close networks. However, economists have noted that in recent years, the emergence of various stock exchanges in African states has played a pivotal role in fostering economic and private sector growth. The substantial demand for capital is increasing by the day for Somali businesses, consisting of both large firms and SME's. According to the latest figures, the capital inflow to Somalia is increasing and it is being driven by both the Somali diaspora and foreigners.

The SSE has created an new capital market, where buyers of financial securities can do business with sellers in a more organised, formal, secure and profitable way. The aim was to create a sustainable capital market in Somalia, where holders of financial securities such as stocks, bonds and buyers or investors can meet and share in long-term growth.

Euston Station First in UK to Make Announcements in British Sign Language
by railsistem - Haziran 3, 2021 0
Euston Station in London has become the first in the country to provide passenger information in British Sign Language (BSL).
From Wednesday, 2 June, passengers can use ten touchscreens situated around the station to get up-to-date travel information in BSL. This number will be doubled to 20 by the end of the year. There will also be a large screen next to the arrivals and departures boards on the main concourse.
British Sign Language screens launched at Euston Station
© Network Rail
Network Rail invested 1.1 million GBP (1.28 million euros | 1.55 million USD) into the development of the software and the installation of the screens.
This accessibility improvement has been developed together with BSL company Clarion UK. Its interpreters have created a library of standard messages. However, its staff will also provide passengers with signed information during disruption events, to help passengers with hearing impairments get up-to-date information as situations evolve.
Messages can be turned into British Sign Language and uploaded directly to the screens using 4G within one hour.

Waru
From eight female Maori directors come eight connected stories, each taking place at the same moment in time during the tangi (funeral) of a small boy, Waru, who has died at the hands of a caregiver. The eight stories are all subtly linked and follow different female characters as they come to terms with Waru's death and try to find a way forward in their community.
Official Selection at the New Zealand International Film Festival and at the Toronto International Film Festival.
"A fascinating glimpse into New Zealand's contemporary Maori community, Waru brings a sense of dramatic, urgent realism to a story that plays out like a suspenseful mystery." - Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter

Recovering Separate Property in a Texas Divorce
By LovelaceLawNovember 7, 2018
When you first get married, there is a clear understanding about what belongs to whom. It doesn't take long before the Yours, Mine, and Ours categories blur. In Texas, because it's a community property state, all the property a couple acquires together using community funds is considered community property and can be halved in a divorce.
This is when things get messy. What happens when your former spouse takes half of what you initially brought in to the marriage? (Side note: prenuptial agreements exist partially for this reason.) To recover the property that rightfully belongs to you, you will need legal representation.
Before we go into detail about why a lawyer is necessary, let's look at some of the more basic elements of separate property.
What qualifies as separate property?
At the most basic level, separate property is any property acquired before marriage or acquired via inheritance during marriage. Everything you brought into the marriage, from your car to your trust fund, is considered separate property.
"What about the inheritance I received when my great-uncle passed away? That's not community property, is it?" That's a valid question. If one spouse inherits or is gifted money by a relative, it can remain separate property if it meets certain conditions:
It is placed in a separate account, rather than the joint account
Anything purchased with that money is titled in the account holder's name only
Property purchased with that money can be traced back to the separate funds
Outside of those two well-defined scenarios, you'll need legal help recovering separate property.
How to recover separate property
If you used separate property toward community property (inheritance money as start-up funds for a new business, for instance), there are certain things you have to show in order to recover those funds:
You have to show where the money came from.
You have to know the specific amount.
You have to show that it went directly to an asset (home, car, business, etc.).
Without that paper trail, you stand to lose half of your separate property because it's viewed as a community asset. Boundary lines are unclear. That's where a family attorney comes in.
Why you need help recovering separate property
For starters, an individual should not file a separate property claim with the court on their own. It requires legal representation. Additionally, you want a professional who understands the nuances of family law standing at your side through the process. It's a good idea to have both a lawyer and an accountant in situations like this. Certain cases may result in a lawyer hiring a tracing accountant to confirm a specific dollar amount and testify as an expert in court. Separate property cases can be settled outside the courtroom, but a judge still has to sign the divorce order.
If you want to recover your separate property, you need a lawyer. If you need a lawyer, you want one familiar with Texas law and your rights. The family attorneys at Lovelace Law are here to help you resolve your property division issues. Give us a call to schedule a free consultation.

Q: Unable to set Image from Resource to Custom ImageView in Xamarin Android? I am able to set image in Non-Custom ImageView but unable to set Image in Custom ImageView, app loads successfully but unable to see the Image, below is the code.
public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity
{

    public ImageTestView imageView;

    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

        SetContentView(Resource.Layout.activity_main);
        imageView = FindViewById<ImageTestView>(Resource.Id.imageView1);
        imageView.SetImageResource(Resource.Mipmap.line_indent);

    }
}

<RelativeLayout
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent">
   <ImageViewTestProject.ImageTestView
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="match_parent"
         android:id="@+id/imageView1" />

</RelativeLayout>

public class ImageTestView : ImageView
{
    public ImageTestView(Context context,IAttributeSet attr) :
        base(context,attr)
    {

    }
}

A: Update
In the end, adding the image background through XML ended up solving the issue.
android:background="@mipmap/imagename"

Well I think the reason it's not working is that of the unavailable constructors and improper initialization
  public class ImageTestView : ImageView
  {
    Context mContext;
    public ImageTestView (Context context) : base(context)
    {
        init(context, null);
    }

    public ImageTestView (Context context, Android.Util.IAttributeSet attrs) : base(context, attrs)
    {
        init(context, attrs);
    }

    public ImageTestView (Context context, Android.Util.IAttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) : base(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)
    {
        init(context, attrs);
    }

    public ImageTestView (Context context, Android.Util.IAttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) : base(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes)
    {
        init(context, attrs);
    }

    private void init(Context ctx, Android.Util.IAttributeSet attrs)
    {
        mContext = ctx;
    }
  }

Then use this custom imageview in your app like:
<RelativeLayout
 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
 xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent">

 <ImageViewTestProject.ImageTestView
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:id="@+id/imageView1" />
 </RelativeLayout>

And then you can set the image resource to it like this:
    var imageView = FindViewById<ImageTestView>(Resource.Id.imageView1);
    imageView?.SetImageResource(Resource.Mipmap.line_indent);

Revert in case this does not work or in case of queries

A: 1.First thing you not doing anything in custom ImageTestView class.
2.And setting the image Resource is wrong.either you have to taking from Drawable  folder it should be.
imageView.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.line_indent);

I don't know in Xamarin Android.But if you know Android please refer this Example.it's bit similar to xamarin Android

If the listing is a company it will have a company_code e.g. BHP and if it is a company option it will have a option_name e.g. BHPXX but no company_code.  Both with link via company_id to the company "Broken Hill Billiton Pty Ltd."

  default_scope { order('exchange_id ASC', 'company_code ASC', 'option_name ASC') }

The default scope orders company listings as BHP, CBA ... BHPXX.
I am trying to get the sort so that it gives BHP, BHPXX, CBA. Any help gratefully received.

A: Try this:
default_scope { order('company_code ASC', 'option_name ASC', 'exchange_id ASC')
If that doesn't work because of the nulls, you may need to look at how it's done here:
ORDER BY ASC with Nulls at the Bottom
MySQL Orderby a number, Nulls last
default_scope { order('-company_code DESC', '-option_name DESC', 'exchange_id ASC')
EDIT: the above may not work here given that company_code and option_name are not numeric in nature, but the links provide plenty of other ways to do this.
