HOME VISITATION: The Queen Strategy to Grow Faithfulness
How do we grow faithfulness in the local church? This represents a concern for pastors and other church leaders. This article explores home visitation as an adequate strategy to lead people to faithfulness.
The One Who Visits
The God of the Bible is involved in personal encounters with His creatures. He is both Elohim and Yahweh. As Elohim, He stands as the Creator of the universe and as the Sovereign God. As Yahweh, He is the God of the covenant who entertains an intimate relationship with His creatures. In Deuteronomy 4:7, Moses declares that the closeness of God participates to the greatness of His people.
Our first parents had the privilege to be visited in their personal habitat: "They were visited by angels, and were granted communion with their Maker, with no obscuring veil between." After Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they did not receive a convocation but a visit. He came on a visit at the cool of the day (Gen. 3:8). This was God's opening strategy to reach out to unfaithful humanity. The culmination of the redemption plan was also actualized through the visitation of His very Son to planet earth. Visitation is engraved in the interaction of God with humanity.
God follows a distinctive pattern during visitation. In reference to the account of Genesis 3, God visits to give an opportunity for those visited to speak out (v. 9-10), to provide a word of instruction (v. 16-19), to attend to existing needs (v.21) and to share a word of hope (v.15). Is the practice of visitation limited to God, the Invisible Guest, or does it stand as a model for His co-workers?
Shepherding and Visitation
Pastors and spiritual leaders accomplish several tasks in the local Church. However, their basic calling is to serve as a Pastor-Shepherd (Act. 20:28; 2 Pe. 5:2). What does it imply to be a shepherd? Shepherds are called to "keep watch" and to "take care". Acts 20:20, reveals the two dimensions of the shepherding responsibility: public and house to house ministry.
Ellen White is explicit about the association between visitation and shepherding. She writes about an elder who was reticent to visit: "Elder H used to live here and preach to the people, but he was not a shepherd of the flock. He would tell the poor sheep that he would rather be horse-whipped than visit." The absence of home visitation disqualifies a lay spiritual leader to be a shepherd. Pastors have a similar obligation: "The pastor is a shepherd of the sheep, guarding them, feeding them, warning them, reproving them, or encouraging them, as the case may require. There is visiting to be done…" Home visitation has even an administrative implication: "The flock of God have a right to expect to be visited by their pastor, to be instructed, advised, counseled, in their own homes. And if a man fails to do this part of the work, he cannot be a minister after God's order." Shepherding is a ministry of proximity, which is adequately expressed through visitation. Visitation is not an optional component of the pastoral ministry.
Visitations and Grooming Faithfulness
Visitation creates the conviction that one is loved. Apostle Paul speaks about the power of love: "For Christ's love compels us…" (2 Co. 5:14). Love is the driving force that leads to commitment, dedication and faithfulness.
People experience the love of God directly and through human agents. In the time of the prophet Hosea, characterized by dire unfaithfulness, God endeavors to bring his children back to Him: "I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love." (Hos. 11:4). People came to realize God's love through expressions of "human kindness" and eventually returned to Him.
Stott elaborates on the benefit of visitation: "There is no quicker way of bridging the gulf between preacher and people than meeting them in their homes and in our home. The effective preacher is always a diligent pastor. Only if he makes time each week both for visiting people and for interviewing them, will he be en rapport with them as he preaches." Visitation stands as one of the foremost means to build relationship and express love.
The experience of Zacchaeus testifies about the power of visitation to change the course of a life. Zacchaeus, led by his lust for possession, lived an unfaithful life until the day he met Jesus. The turning point of his life was this proposal from Jesus: "Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house today." Luke 19: 5 His situation was so desperate that a talk by the Sycamore tree or an appointment at the synagogue next Sabbath would not have been sufficient. A home visitation was needed to soften the heart of Zacchaeus. Hence, the greediest man of Jericho was changed into the most generous man of the city. Visitation grows faithfulness. It is particularly effective in leading people to faithfulnes in the stewardship of resources.
The Practice of Home Visitations
Ellen White explains about the content of visitation purpose: "There is visiting to be done, not to have a pleasant chat, but to do the work required of a watchman. There should be earnest conversation and prayer with these souls. This is the kind of work that gains valuable experience in the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom." Visitation is more than a social call. It serve as a spiritual checkup (2 Co. 13:5) for the community of believers.
The visitation ministry involves primarily those who have a pastoral responsibility: Pastors, elders, deacons and deaconesses. Others can also be enlisted in this work. An effective visitation ministry will have the following characteristics: Recruitment of a team, training of the people involved in this ministry, organizing the visitation program, establishing a calendar of visitations and debriefing exercise at regular intervals.
There are three common type of visitations: Systematic visitation, emergency visitation, specific stewardship visitation. The systematic visitation targets every member of the Church. Everyone who is part of the visitation team is involved. The purpose is to nurture members spiritually, including stewardship. Emergency visitation is for members who are going through a punctual challenge or experience. The choice of the one doing the visitation depends on the nature of the challenge. The aim is to listen, to assess the situation, to give encouragement, to provide a service or to suggest a referral.
The specific stewardship visitation is a sensitive exercise. It is primarily a means of reaching out to church members who are struggling with the issue of returning tithe. Hence, this visitation can only be accomplished by those who are privy to information pertaining to members' fidelity in tithing. The finality is to lead members to recommit themselves to God and to their stewardship obligation. Referring to the principle of accountability enunciated in Ezekiel 3:16-20, the absence of visitation does not excuse the unfaithful, nevertheless the spiritual leader will have to answer for the negligence of the sacred responsibility. Churches who implement systematic visitations and are prompt to do emergency visitations have a reduced need of specific stewardship visitation.
We plead for the inclusion of home visitations as a privileged means to educate members in faithfulness. Local churches are encouraged to reestablish and revitalize this ministry. It is simple, affordable and not taxing on the church schedule. Blessed are those who do visitations in the name and in like manner as God. They will be known as Kingdom Builders.

The spectacular environment is a festival for the senses, where Southeast Asian snacks—like those sold by street vendors in Thailand or Vietnam—are served. Teak pagodas, subdued golden light, and artifacts from India and Burma, all crowned by luxurious, exotic fabrics, create the setting for star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's sophisticated version of Asian snack food. The elegant bar on the ground floor also serves exquisite dishes.

Added a Treadmill from Izumiki, thank you Izumiki!
Created subsection Tools, and added the "remove duplicate" tool from Chloe, thanks Chloe! I will only add tools that dont corrupt original 3DX Chat files, so there won't be any dll, only outside applications to help builders or users.
I made the mobile version more user friendly. Visitors should be able now to see all pictures properly and browse smoothly on the site.
I added some nice objects from LukeM today.
I just added my latest room, Colyseum. It is an heavy room, it was more for the challenge to build it. It has never been showcased before. I still hope you will be able to enjoy it!
Like the content only idea.
Please feel free to add anything of mine to it. All the links are under the titles.
I'm blown away by these rooms and objects you guys are sharing with us.
Thank you so much to the contributors. You're amazing.
If you'd like to share a room or object, please send a PM or go to the website and send it there.
How do you manage room/world/object-updates? Just upload the new file and you'll set everything up?
Will there be changelogs? Will older versions still be available?
Hello Llavia, indeed, I get the .world file via email/discord/forum/direct link, then I take screenshots and upload everything myself. I am not a developer so that's why I use a website editor.
The site will evolve, but older version wont be available. Nevertheless, all content will still be there, whatever will be the design.
Regarding subcategories, I know it will come, and faster than I expected. I have 2 options: create categories depending of the creations ( furniture, animal, and so on), or categories based on builders.
I will have to choose fast because I need to redesign before there is too much content.
If you have suggestions, please feel free to add them here!
Ok, I splitted objects in 7 subcategories. I have still some work to do on layout and mobile version. Some feedback would be appreciated!
Some feedback would be appreciated!
I eventually added all work from THX! Thank you!
Great: This site is exactly what I missed before!
This is indeed a good idea, and I would like to contribute all the stuff I have published.
What I'm missing in the contribution form is where to put the picture of the object, what is my mistake?
BTW: Is there an easier way to contribute several objects than one by one via the contribution form?
What a great site and like the Modz site, all your hard work and design donations by designers is very much appreciated.
The way you are organising it is great and user friendly.
You dont have to put picture of your object, I usually do it myself as I check also if the object is easy find when loaded. Nevertheless you can use the "selfie" to put a picture if you want.
- to download it somewhere in .zip .rar archive and send me the link on forum or via the contact us form.
I will check later if i can parameter a multiple submission form.
Hello everyone I decided to do a small website to share my work, and finally decided to open it to other friends and builders.
So far the objects section is quiet empty as I made the site yesterday, but I will load more files in the coming days.
Any builder wishing to share their work on the website, please contact me!
Last point: this is a showcasing/downloading website. There is no group attached, there wont be any event and parties related to it, just people willing to share their work for free.
Please feel free to contact me if you wish to contribute too!
I tried it immediately, and a lot of the Items I have sent are still missing, also my selfie, which I have sent 2 times.
After the first euphory about this site and its easy access to the stuff we share with others, I'm now a bit disappointed about how the things are handled.
Sad to say, that currently for me it is no substitute for the 3DXModz forum, only a complement for it and for the other threads here in this forum, so there should be an option to include a link to these sites to the complete presentaltion of the shared Items.
In future I will send only one item at a time and a picture I selected for it, so I hope to avoid any confusion; some additional work, but I think it's worth it.
Nicekati You can send your pack via mail, that works fine. You should try it, All my stuff got through so far on this way.
Hello NiceKati, I know I have still some work to do with your contributions and selfie but I only have 2 hands Also, I regrouped some objects, like your umbrellas or your pavillions in a single file, as I think it is easier. I can understand it might be confusing for you, but I just try to make it as easy as possible for users but also for me. I don't plan to add descriptions or galleries for objects as it would multiply the pages and therefore the time to create them.
I just would like to be clear that this website is absolutely not a substitution to any other website or forum, just another possibilities for people to find content. As you are mentionning Modz Forum, they are much more complete than my website. I only aim to offer a downloading platform and nothing more.
I just want to remind people that I am not a developer, neither a web designer but a simple player like most of you. I try to do this in my free time, as I found it useful. I do my best to follow users suggestions (subcategories, change log, update slider, multiple file download) but it will never be like a professional website. I lack ressources, mainly time and knowledge to do something more elaborated.
Last but not least, if you have any issue (content forgotten, wrong link or anything else), you can contact me in PM on forum and I will do my best to solve it.
I created this website with my vision of it, and I understand very well some might not like it.
I will keep trying to do my best, and upload new content as fast as possible when it is submitted!

Series REVIEW: Garo: Gold Storm -Sho-
As the Garo franchise has continue to grow and now expanded into both tokusatsu and animated formats, fans have been treated to multiple different timelines each with their own unique Golden Knight. While 2015 will begin and end with two different chapters of the Garo anime, the middle has been dominated by the return of the franchise's first divergence into a new continuity. Making their return from The One Who Shines in the Darkness are Ryuga Dougai and Makai Priest Rian in a new film and series project that go by the names of Gold Storm and Gold Storm -Sho- respectively. Garo creator Keita Amemiya is also involved in this newest project, marking it as his first series that doesn't involve one of the Saejima clan.
Return of the B team
Set sometime after the events of the Gold Storm movie, Ryuga and Rian are now continuing their duties under the watchdog Ryume. Amongst the usual Horror encounters that the Golden Knight faces, the pair become involved in a plot to awaken the ancient Horror Radan - inadvertently clashing with other Makai Priests on the same mission to seal Radan once and for all. As rivalries turn to allegiances, the group must face off against the two at the centre of this plot - Jinga and Amily, Horrors that were once Makai warriors themselves.
Following on from a movie that has currently only been available to Japanese cinema goers, there are a few things going into Gold Storm -Sho- (at the time of writing) that Western fans are going to be a bit in the dark about. While the new setting and characters are very easy to get to grips with, there's not really much in the way of introduction. Ryuga and Rian are the only returning characters from The One Who Shines in the Darkness, Ryume's been established as their current Watchdog and another pair of allies in the form of D Ringo and Yukihime (though neither character has any real bearing on the show). The returning faces of Ryuga and Rian are enough to ease viewers into the new extended cast, and while it is a little sad to lose Aguri and Takeru arguably the best of the bunch are the ones returning. The numbers are then bolstered with another Knight (Daigo) and another two priests (Gald and Haruna), each of whom are tied in the plot in their own different (yet ultimately connected) ways. It's a big group that predictably doesn't get equal sharing in terms of exposure, but adequately allows for multiple fights going on at once and a more nuanced storyline with multiple strands coming together.
New friends, and an abundance of Makai Priests
One of The One Who Shines in the Darkness' greatest strengths was its continuity - offering an almost completely ongoing storyline throughout its run while the other Garo shows played around with one-off episodes and a multi-part finale. Gold Storm -Sho- offers the same format as it's predecessors, with even the minor episodes at the very beginning offering plot strands that would eventually expand into a singular storyline. Horrors of the week are in very short supply here, with a fair chunk of the episodes dedicated to multiple rematches between Ryuga and Jinga. There's the odd CGI monstrosity dotted around here, but nothing has any greater than purpose than being a momentary distraction fight/sequence. The ongoing format might not be to everyone's tastes, but with Makai no Hana having a more experimental episodic format it's refreshing to see the two sides of the franchise taking a different approach to their set up.
Possibly due to Keita Amemiya taking up some of the directorial duties on this show, Gold Storm -Sho- also boasts more of the visuals one comes to expect from a Garo series. After The One Who Shines in the Darkness suffered heavily from an overuse of ropey CGI and a lack of practical suits, this series is quite the opposite. Practical suits are back in full force, together with slick choreography and wirework for the abundant out-of-suit fights. The armour has also received an overhaul in the form of a new "Garo Sho" variation - keeping the same iconic elements of the suit while adding some more unique features like a larger collar and shoulder section. The added bulk of this suit isn't always aesthetically pleasing when not in motion, but again offers a nice variation between the Kouga/Raiga Garo and the Ryuga chapters. And although the golden knight is back in his true colours, the "lost shine" hasn't been completely lost - returning later in the show in a particularly satisfying ways.
BatManWolf
One of the biggest weaknesses of the Garo franchise is it's rather weak "big bad" villains. Not so much the Horrors faced off against in the final episodes (usually the obligatory giant topless CGI woman, but not always), but the ones behind the scenes orchestrating the whole thing. Between the five seasons of Garo so far the success rate has varied somewhat, but it's fair to say that Jinga absolutely blows them all out of the water in both presence and memorableness. Masahiro Inoue (known to most as Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade) clearly had an absolute blast in the role, hamming it up to 11 as he trolls Ryuga and co. at every turn. By comparison Amily isn't quite as exciting, but she works well as a similar foil to Rian and as the Morticia Adams to Jinga's Gomez. Their backstory is played up in a rather interesting way - prompting sympathy from the audience before reminding you that they aren't the characters in the flashbacks anymore and that these guys are Horrors, and thus evil for the sake of evil. While in the long run it doesn't make them particularly well-developed characters, it does prompt some momentary emotional conflict (both to the viewer and the cast) to bring them out of one-dimensional territory.
But while Gold Storm -Sho- is definitely a step up from what came before, it still has a few rather apparent flaws. With such a dedicated focus on a singular struggle between Ryuga (and company) versus Jinga and Amily, the constant back and forths between them make the show's middle section something of a slump. As mentioned above Jinga always manages to keep things somewhat entertaining, but there's no big plot twists or experimental/abstract episodes to keep things interesting until the plot starts properly progressing again. Secondly the handling of the female cast gets a little questionable as things go on, with all of them getting their fair share of damsel in distress moments. While not completely unusual to see in a Garo series, after the strong handling of Makai Priests elsewhere it is a little frustrating to see Rian in particular fall victim to it multiple times. She still does her fair share of ass kicking, but far too many moments (particularly the ending) are either cliche or shock tactics with little substance behind them.
Because you can never go wrong with a giant axe
Gold Storm -Sho- still doesn't measure up to the incredibly high bar set by the first two Garo seasons, but it's definitely come the closest out of everything that followed. It brings back everything that felt fresh and exciting about The One Who Shines in the Darkness, together with that Keita Amemiya touch it's predecessor was so sorely lacking. With the Garo universe continually expanding with new timelines (or even universes, who can tell), characters and mediums, Ryuga and co are one set of characters that still have plenty of life in them and will hopefully be seen again in the near future.

Your training hasn't changed but you're no longer getting stronger, fitter or leaner. Don't worry, you've hit a plateau. We talk to experts on how to bust out of one.
Virtually everyone who trains will experience a plateau, but to most people its mechanics are surprisingly shrouded in mystery. You'll know you're in one when — after doing the same sets, maintaining the same intensity and sticking to the same diet — you're no longer improving.
If you're training on your own, you start to question yourself and your workout. If you have a personal trainer you start to question them and their programme.
There are many reasons why training plateaus can happen, which is why we've asked some top fitness experts, including Fitness First trainers who regularly help clients through them, to identify the main causes.
Many of the reasons for plateauing are inter-related, but each can also happen independently of the others.
The fix? If you want your training to have an impact, you must have a programme, you must stick to it and you must let your body adapt to it. Then you change the programme when your body has adapted.
Here's the thing: even when you have a great training programme that works wonders at first, your body adapts to the new load after a few weeks (accepted wisdom is three to six) and the improvements slow or stop.
A Fitness First personal trainer, Suzi Natal, sees many new clients who are experiencing this kind of adaptation and are puzzled.
"Often they will come to me explaining that their usual routine has simply stopped working. They have been training for some time and are no longer seeing any results.
What they don't realise is that the body is a complex and highly adaptive machine. The more you train it through specific exercises or movements, the more efficient it will become at completing these.
While you can alter your programme when you're plateauing, it pays to have it properly structured from the start. The magic word here is "periodisation." It's basically a plan that ensures progress is maintained via training cycles and phases and manipulation of exercise variables.
You might think you're training hard, but it may not be enough, say the experts. You could just be going through the motions, with your biggest achievement being getting to the gym.
People often drop their intensity because they get too comfortable, or even bored, says Fitness First PT Mark Glanville.
There is widespread agreement among fitness experts that a personal trainer is valuable because he or she will know how hard to push you.
"There's very good research to show that people training with personal trainers get better results compared to when they train by themselves, because PTs make them work at higher intensities," says an exercise physiologist.
Unrealistic goal setting, for Mike Battaglia, is the second biggest reason why people plateau.
Battaglia says you need to be brutally honest about how much work you can put in when setting your expectations.
Among those who train hard, burning more calories than they take in can be a real problem. "Their performance deteriorates. It doesn't even just plateau. It goes backwards," says exercise physiologist Tony Boutagy.
"That's because you're not only not supporting your metabolism but also the recuperation and adaptation that you need for a result.
Americans call this metabolic damage. The rest of the world just calls this 'no energy availability.' That simply means that you're bringing in too few calories for what you need to recover from and adapt to training.
A surprisingly common reason given for plateauing is not enough sleep.


The powerful Red and Blue nine from the University of Pennsylvania wreaked vengeance last Saturday at Philadelphia on the Crimson forces for their defeat of the week before, and shut them out, 3 to 0. Peterson, the giant right-hander of the Quaker team, limited the Harvard nine to four scattered blows.
Coach Davidson, who was in charge in the absence of Coach Mitchell, put W. H. MacHale '31 on the mound. The latter pitched good ball until the eighth, when four hits were bunched off him for two runs. Until this stanza, only one run was secured off his delivery, that in the opening inning when Carlsten, lead-off man for the Red and Blue, clouted a home run.
It was not until the penultimate frame that the auburn-topped sophomore got into any real difficulty, however. Peterson started the downfall with a single to left, and took second on Caristen's second hit of the day. Wilmer flied out, but Prager walked, filling the bases. Walker's hit scored Peterson, but on the same play Prager was caught off second. At this juncture, Howard Whitmore '29 was sent in to quell the Quaker bats. He was greeted by Becker's single to right, which was responsible for the last Pennsylvania run. Slaughter was out when his bunt on the third strike rolled foul, and the damage was done.

Incidence of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Among Pregnant Women in Ile-Ife, Nigeria
Adebayo, Oluwabanwo James (2015-03-18)
This study investigated the incidence of urinary tract infection among pregnant women. It determined the current microbial isolates that are responsible for infection as well as their susceptibility to antibiotics. The period or trimester when pregnant women are prone to urinary tract infection and the age range when infection is prevalent were also determined, this was with a view to providing information that will prevent complications in pregnancy arising from urinary tract infection. Urine samples were obtained from 300 randomly selected pregnant women attending the Antenatal Clinic of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital Complex Ile Ife. Each patient was given a sterile, wide-necked, leak proof container and requested to give 10-20ml sample of mid-stream urine with little or no contamination and provide information on the month or term of pregnancy. The samples were then labelled with the date, the name of the patient and time of collection. Thereafter the specimen was transferred to the laboratory. The freshly collected clean-catch midstream urine was mixed by gently rotating the container . Using a sterile calibrated wire loop that holds 1/1000 ml (0.001 m1), a loopful of urine was inoculated into cystine lactose electrolyte-deficient (CLED) agar, chocolate agar and MacConkey agar. The plates were then incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The organisms that were isolated from colonies on these media were subsequently identified and characterized using various biochemical tests, while their antibiotic sensitivity patterns were determined using the agar-disc diffusion method. This result showed that 34.3 % of pregnant women examined had significant bacteriuria suggestive of UTI. The most frequent isolate was Escherichia coli (41.7 %), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (26.2 %), Klebsiella spp. (8.7 %), Proteus mirabilis (6.8 %), Candida albicans (9.7 %), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2.9 %) and Streptococcus faecalis (3.9 %). Urinary tract infection was common in the last trimester of pregnancy among the younger age group of 17 to 26 years. Antibiotic sensitivity tests showed that the Gram negative isolates were sensitive to nitrofurantoin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid and ofloxacin, while the Gram-positive isolates were sensitive to gentamicin, erythromycin and cloxacilin. High antibiotic resistance was observed by the urinary bacterial isolates to most of the antibiotics used, these however cannot be referred to as multiple antibiotic resistance. Klebsiella spp, P. mirabilis, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus were resistant to the following antibiotics, amoxycillin, cotrimoxazole, augmentin and tetracycline. E. coli was resistant to amoxicillin and cotrimoxazole while S. faecalis showed strong resistance to tetracycline. The study concluded that the leading microbial strains responsible for urinary tract infection among pregnant women at Ile Ife were Escherichia toll, Klebsiella and Staphylococcus aureus and most of the isolates were sensitive to nitrofurantoin, gentamicin and nalidixic acid.

Q: Bind 9 debug logging requests from localhost If I do, for example
dig delfi.lv
from a PC on LAN, I get some log messages in /var/cache/bind/named.run like:
29-Oct-2020 12:01:51.905 client @0x7f2adc000cd0 192.168.1.2#37827 (delfi.lv): query: delfi.lv IN A +E(0) (192.168.1.1)
But if I do the same request from localhost (the server itself) I get the same answer, but no messages in the log file. How to fix it?

Car accident neck injury settlement amount
by Marion Olsson
How much should I settle for a neck injury?
For more minor neck and back injuries , settlements are generally smaller, such as $10,000 to $100,000. The only way to get an accurate portrayal of the value of your injury claim is through a consultation with an attorney.
How much do insurance companies pay for neck injuries?
Settlements are highly variable. In our experience, successful monetary recoveries for simple injury may range anywhere from $2500 to $50,000. On the other hand, if the neck injury or back injury requires a surgical procedure such as a neck fusion, then the monetary award could reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
What is average settlement payout for whiplash injury?
However, mild to moderate whiplash claims often result in a victim receiving anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000 worth of compensation. For more severe whiplash injury cases, including incidents that involve persistent pain or nerve damage, the average settlement may be closer to $30,000 or more.
What is the average settlement for a minor car accident?
Settlement amounts have varied widely throughout history due to the specific nature of damages. Some estimates put the average car accident settlement for a minor to moderate collision at $20,000 to $30,000. Severe cases could be worth much more depending on circumstances.
What is a good settlement?
Most cases settle out of court before proceeding to trial. Some say that the measure of a good settlement is when both parties walk away from the settlement unhappy. This means that the defendant paid more than he wanted to pay, and the plaintiff accepted less than he wanted to accept.

Your average car accident settlement might be approximately $21,000. It is likely to fall somewhere between $14,000 and $28,000. The settlement is generally higher for more severe or permanent injuries. You'll also get paid more if the other driver was found to be driving under the influence.
How much should I sue for pain and suffering?
How much should you ask for? There is no one right answer. When valuing a client's pain and suffering , a lawyer will typically sue for three to five times the amount of the out-of-pocket damages (medical bills and loss of work).
What is fair compensation for pain and suffering?
That said, from my personal experience, the typical payout for pain and suffering in most claims is under $15,000. This is because most claims involve small injuries. The severity of the injury is a huge factor that affects the value of pain and suffering damages . 3 дня назад
What kind of settlement should I expect from whiplash?
Settlement values or trial verdicts for whiplash vary greatly, but most cases or mild to moderate whiplash will be valued between $2,500 and $10,000. More serious cases involving treatment (typically physical therapy) over several months may cost the defendant upwards of $30,000.

Should I take first offer of a car accident settlement?
Consider not accepting a settlement offer until you fully recover from your injuries. It is important to remain patient and not accept a settlement too quickly. A standard settlement may not offer the necessary compensation because your injuries may be more severe than what the insurer is aware of.
How long does it take to get a settlement offer from a car accident?
Because many car accident settlement checks are issued by insurance companies' out-of-state banks, they can take time to clear. In most cases, the time period for clearing the bank is 7 business days but can be 10 days in some cases.
How do you respond to a low settlement offer?
Countering a Low Insurance Settlement Offer State that the offer you received is unacceptable. Refute any statements in the adjustor's letter that are inaccurate and damaging to your claim. Re-state an acceptable figure. Explain why your counteroffer is appropriate, including the reasons behind your general damages demands.
How can I prove my pain and suffering?
Some documents your lawyer may use to prove that your pain and suffering exist include: Medical bills. Medical records. Medical prognosis. Expert testimony. Pictures of your injuries. Psychiatric records.

The measurement-result-conditioned evolution of a system (e.g., an atom) with spontaneous emissions of photons is described by the quantum trajectory (QT) theory. In this work we generalize the associated QT theory from an infinitely wide bandwidth Markovian environment to the finite bandwidth non-Markovian environment. In particular, we generalize the treatment for an arbitrary spectrum, which is not restricted by the specific Lorentzian case. We rigorously prove the general existence of a perfect scaling behavior jointly defined by the bandwidth of the environment and the time interval between successive photon detections. For a couple of examples, we obtain analytic results to facilitate the QT simulations based on the Monte-Carlo algorithm. For the case where the analytical result is not available, a numerical scheme is proposed for practical simulations.

The Coronavirus Is Not "The Plague": It Is the U.S.
The outward fable of The Plague revolves around a malignant illness that breaks out in a town that's quarantined when the authorities field a notify of emergency. After first denying that they've an field, the participants progressively dismay and undoubtedly feel painfully isolated. Loss of life danger runs rampant, noteworthy love at the present time with the coronavirus. The authorities uncover martial law as they warn that the swear is dire, folks wishes to be careful of associating, especially in teams, they typically higher obey orders or very many will die. So town is cordoned off.
Earlier than this happens and the first indicators that something is amiss emerge, the residents of town of Oran, Algeria stay oblivious, for they "work annoying, but exclusively with the item of getting prosperous." Bored by their habits, closely drugging themselves with drink, and observing many motion photographs to distract themselves, they did not accumulate the significance of "the squelchy roundness of a soundless-warmth body" of the plague-bearing rats that emerge from their underworld to die of their streets. "It changed into as if the earth on which our homes stood had been being purged of their secret humors; thrusting as a lot as the surface the abscesses and pus-clots that had been forming in its entrails." To them the plague is "unthinkable," an abstraction, except all their denials are swept aside because the truth emerges from the sewers and their neighbors and families die from the illness.
"Stupidity has one blueprint of getting its blueprint;" the narrator, Dr. Rieux tells us, "as we are in a position to also soundless survey if we had been no longer in any respect times so wrapped up in ourselves …. plagues and wars buy folks equally all without lengthen."
The American folks are wrapped up in themselves. Nor create they acknowledge the correct rats. They're with out complications shocked; fooled might be a higher be aware.
Camus uses a physical plague to conceal his right field, which is the blueprint in which oldsters react after they're bodily trapped by human rats who ask they obey orders and preserve bodily and mentally compliant as their freedom is taken from them.
The Plague is an allegorical depiction of the German occupation of France within the direction of World Conflict II. Camus had lived via that absorb as a member of the French Resistance. He changed into a writer and editor of the underground Resistance newspaper Fight, and along with his artist's touch he later made The Plague a revelatory be taught for at the present time, especially for residents of the US, essentially the most attention-grabbing purveyor of the plague of violence within the field.
We're all infected with the soul-destroying depraved that our leaders absorb loosed upon the field, a deadly illness of killing that's now hidden within the relief of the coronavirus danger that's being veteran to institute tight authorities controls that many will with regards to rue within the months forward, proper as took dwelling after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Coronavirus is a most attention-grabbing quilt-fable for the occupation of the general public's mind by a propaganda equipment that has grown even extra devious over the past 19 years.
Inquire your self: The put is the pointers on U.S. defense force operations in Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia, etc.? There is none within the corporate mainstream media, and diminutive within the different media as effectively. Possess these operations ceased? Pointless to swear no longer. It's proper that the pointers on them, diminutive that it changed into, has disappeared.
Now it is all about us and the coronavirus dismay. It is miles about what number of participants might also die. It is miles about stocking relaxation room paper. For the prosperous, it is about attending to their second or third homes the put they'll isolate themselves in splendor. As I write, 150 or so People are acknowledged to absorb died of Covid-19, and by the level potentialities are you'll be taught this the quantity will absorb climbed, however the quantity will most most likely be minuscule when put next with the preference of oldsters within the U.S.A. and these numbers will most most likely be elephantine of contradictions that few comprehend except, in preference to reacting in danger, they did some entire review.
However arguments are pretty useless in a time of dismay when folks are consumed with danger and proper react.
For we're living in plague time, and the plague lives in us. However to most People, Covid-19 is the plague, since the authorities and media absorb acknowledged it is. Like the inhabitants of Oran, the US is "peopled with sleep walkers," pseudo-innocents, who're "basically attentive to what ruffled the frequent tenor of their lives or affected their interests." That their absorb authorities, it is no longer valuable what political social gathering is in energy (each and every working for "deep-notify," elite interests led by the organized criminals of the CIA), is the disseminator of an international-wide plague of virulent violence, wishes to be denied and divorced from consensus reality.
That these identical forces would exercise the phobia of illness to cow the population wishes to be no shock for these that absorb with regards to ticket the truth of the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the anthrax attacks that adopted, each and every of which had been veteran to elaborate the never-ending "wars on terror" that absorb killed so many all the blueprint in which via the field. It is miles a shock for thus many participants who can't countenance the conception that their absorb authorities might be in a position to be implicated within the loss of life of thousands of U.S. residents and the release of the deadly anthrax, which we know came from a U.S. lab and changed into applied by a community of interior authorities perpetrators.
In the case of the plague-afflicted deaths visited on thousands and thousands all the blueprint in which via the field for a protracted time by the American authorities, this wishes to be denied by diverting attention to partisan presidential politics, and now the coronavirus that engenders danger, loathing, and a diminutive one-love tendency to deem Spacious Brother. The proper plague, the bedrock of a nation in any respect times waging wars via totally different capability – i.e. bombs and financial and scientific sanctions, etc. – against the field, disappears from consciousness. As U.S. Secretary of Inform Madeleine Albright acknowledged to 60 Minutes Lesley Stahl in 1996 when Stahl asked her if the U.S. sanctions on Iraq that had resulted within the loss of life of 500,000 Iraqi youngsters had been price it: "We predict the price is price it."
For "decent folks wishes to be allowed to sleep at night," says the character Tarrou ironically; he's a man who has lost his capability to "sleep effectively" since he witnessed a man's execution the put the "bullets assemble a hole into which potentialities are you'll also thrust your fist." He awakens to the realization that he "had an indirect hand within the deaths of thousands of oldsters." He loses any peace he had and vows to withstand the plague in every blueprint he can. "For a diffusion of years I've been ashamed," he says, "mortally ashamed, of having been, even with the handiest intentions, even at many removes, a assassin in my turn."
The rats are death within the streets. They're our rats, diseased by us. They absorb got emerged from the underworld of a nation plagued by its denial. Unconscious depraved bubbles up. We're an infected folks. Dismay and irritation – "these are no longer feelings with which to confront plague." However we don't seem ashamed of our complicity in our authorities's crimes all the blueprint in which via the field. For a protracted time now we absorb elected leaders who absorb killed thousands and thousands, whereas industry went on as frequent. The killing didn't touch us. As Camus acknowledged, "We fornicated and be taught the papers." He knew higher. He warned us:
It's a wearying industry being plague-afflicted. However it undoubtedly's soundless extra wearying to refuse to be it. That's why all people within the field seems so tired; all people is roughly in uncomfortable health of plague. However that's why some of us, these that favor to rating the plague out of their programs, undoubtedly feel such determined weariness.
But the combat against the plague must always high-tail on. Tarrou puts it thus:
All I preserve is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's as a lot as us, as a long way seemingly, no longer to hitch forces with the pestilences. That might also sound straightforward to the level of childishness; I will't deem if it's straightforward, but I are aware about it's proper. You survey, I'd heard such quantities of arguments, which very with regards to turned my head, and turned other folks's heads ample to assemble them approve of murder; and I'd with regards to ticket that all our troubles spring from our failure to make exercise of undeniable, clear-gash again language. So I resolved in any respect times to talk – and to act – pretty clearly, as this changed into the handiest blueprint of atmosphere myself on the resplendent computer screen.
This gift day, I accumulate pondering of an incident that took place after I changed into a younger investigator of sexually transmitted diseases, working for the U.S. Division of Health, Training, and Welfare via the Public Health Carrier as an epidemiologist. My job changed into to trace down sexually transmitted diseases by finding links of sexual contacts. Sooner or later I went to interview and buy a blood sample from a uncomfortable lady who had been named as a sexual contact. I knocked on her door on the third or fourth ground of a walkup dwelling building. She regarded via the peek-hole and asked who it changed into and I told her my title and what authorities agency I represented. I will also uncover she changed into very cautious, but she opened the door. She stood there naked, a truly heavy lady of doubtless 300 pounds. She nonchalantly welcomed me in and I adopted her as she padded down the corridor the put she took a housecoat off a hook and put it on.
There is, as , an dilapidated account by Hans Christian Anderson known as "The Emperor's Contemporary Dresses." Even supposing the emperor parades around naked, the adults assemble-deem he's clothed. Simplest a diminutive one sees the apparent. I changed into 23-years-dilapidated naïve younger man at the time of this unforgettable incident, but it undoubtedly echoes in my mind as a reminder to myself that doubtless that lady changed into unconsciously instructing me a lesson in conceal. The 365 days changed into 1967, and after I went out to rating into my authorities automotive with federal license plates, a white man in a white shirt in a white automotive in a uncomfortable sunless neighborhood, a hail of bricks rained down toward me and the automotive from the roof opposite. I snappy jumped in and fled because the ghettos had been exploding. Soon the Nationwide Guard might be known as out to accumulate them.
Intuition tells me that despite the indisputable truth that the emperor has no clothes and an sizable PSYOPS occupation is now underway, too many are too grown-as a lot as stare it.
It's an dilapidated fable in any respect times updated. Like The Plague.

Q: VOMongoRepository fails to connect to MongoDB replicaset with user credentials (Pharo/Voyage) I am trying to save a root Object (MyDocument) into a mongoDB with authentication enabled and a ReplicaSet consisting of 3 Nodes (as inserted into mongoUrls)
With this call:
(VOMongoRepository
        mongoUrls: {'127.0.0.1:27017' . '127.0.0.1:27018' . '127.0.0.1:27019'}
        database: 'myDB'
        username: 'myUser'
        password: 'myPass') enableReplication
I receive a VOMongoConnectionError without any deeper information.
Trying the same with this:
VOMongoRepository
mongoUrls: {'myUser:myPass@127.0.0.1:27017/?replicaSet=myRepl' }
database: 'myDB'
I then receive a VOMongoError "not authorized for Query on myDB.MyDocument"
The credentials are double checked with mongo client and Compass, also the read/write permissions (actually the role is dbOwner).
Interestingly my testDocumentLifeCycle is able to create the object and to send a message to save, that returns without signaling an error, although it does not create the document in MongoDB. But the selectOne: is then returning the VOMongoError:
| doc |
    MyDocument new
        identity: 'me@there.com';
        save.
    user := MyDocument selectOne: [ :each | each identity = 'me@there.com'].
Just to mention: the above test for MyDocument class did work with a standalone mongod without authentication enabled. The only thing changed is the repository.
So what am I doing wrong?

A: Actually there is a bug in the replicaSet part of VoyageMongo. It is not using the credentials provided. It has been posted at https://github.com/pharo-nosql/voyage/issues/104

Scott Vernon (* 13. Dezember 1983 in Manchester) ist ein ehemaliger englischer Fußballspieler.

Karriere
Scott Vernon begann seine Karriere im Jahr 2002 beim damaligen Drittligisten Oldham Athletic aus der Heimatregion Greater Manchester. Für den Verein spielte der Stürmer drei Spielzeiten lang und konnte in 74 Ligaspielen 20 Tore erzielen, wovon ihm 12 Tore in der Saison 2003/04 gelangen.

Von September bis Oktober 2004 spielte Vernon Leihweise beim FC Blackpool und traf dort in vier Einsätzen dreimal. Im Sommer 2005 unterschrieb er einen langfristigen Vertrag bei den Seasiders aus Blackpool. Nachdem er in der ersten Halbserie, der Saison 2005/06 meist als Einwechselspieler zum Einsatz kam, wurde Vernon im März 2006 bis zum Saisonende an den Ligakonkurrenten Colchester United verliehen, mit dem er Vizemeister wurde. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Blackpool avancierte er unter Simon Grayson zum Stammspieler.

Bereits im ersten Jahr gelang der Aufstieg in die Championship, nachdem sich das Team im Wembley-Stadion gegen Yeovil Town in den Play-offs der Football League One 2006/07 durchgesetzt hatte. Im Januar 2008 wechselte Vernon für 100.000 £ zu Colchester United. Im Jahr 2009 und 2010 wurde er insgesamt dreimal verliehen, zunächst von März bis Mai 2006 zu Northampton Town sowie von Oktober bis November desselben Jahres zum FC Gillingham gefolgt von Southend United im Jahr 2010.

Im Juli 2010 wechselte Vernon zum schottischen Erstligisten FC Aberdeen. Gleich in seinem ersten Ligaspiel für den neuen Verein erzielte er gleichzeitig auch sein Debüttor in der Partie gegen Dundee United. Bis zum Ende der Spielzeit traf er insgesamt neunmal in der Scottish Premier League. In der Saison darauf sogar elfmal.

Mit den Schotten gewann Vernon in seiner letzten Spielzeit das Ligapokalfinale 2014 gegen Inverness Caledonian Thistle im Elfmeterschießen, in dem der englische Angreifer erfolgreich war. Wenige Monate später unterschrieb Vernon einen Vertrag bei Shrewsbury Town in der EFL League One. Dort blieb er zwei Spielzeiten und schloss sich dann Viertligist Grimsby Town an. Von 2018 bis zu seinem Karriereende 2022 war der mittlerweile 38-jährige noch für den Amateurverein Cleethorpes Town aktiv.

Hamilton "excited" by prospect of close Australia battle
Less than three tenths of a second. That's all that split the top three teams in FP2 in Australia, with pace-setter Lewis Hamilton saying he was excited by the prospect of such a close battle at the sharp end of the field.
Having topped the times in first practice by half a second, the reigning world champion ended up 0.127s clear of Red Bull's Max Verstappen in FP2, with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen 0.283s off the pace in fourth at Melbourne's Albert Park.
"The gap closed up a little bit between all the cars in second practice, but that's exciting anyway," he told F1.com. "It is more challenging for me to drive and eke out a little more from the car. We have to establish if I lost some performance or they all gained. But I enjoyed driving."
With rain expected on Saturday, Hamilton says the situation could get even more "interesting".
"When it gets cooler it gets better," he said. "It gets easier. Usually when it gets hotter it has often in the past suited other teams, but we are all in a similar position.
"Tomorrow it is going to rain, as far as I am aware, and the same on Sunday. I don't know if I have driven in the rain yet on these tyres, so it will be interesting."
All the teams struggled to get the tyres working during pre-season testing due to the cold temperatures seen in Barcelona, but Hamilton reported Mercedes had had more success doing so in the warm conditions in Melbourne.
"The tyres definitely didn't seem to have the issue that we had after Barcelona, where they were just blistering the whole time," he said. "So it felt a lot more normal. But obviously the car is quicker here than it was last year, so it feels better everywhere.
"Turns 11 and 12 are just crazy! We are not even braking into that corner, it is insane. But we are going to get quicker and quicker through the weekend. Well if it does not rain..."
Hamilton has been on pole in Australia six times, but only converted that position into victory twice. Will this be his weekend once again?

NYC Health + Hospitals announced today that seven of its hospitals have been recognized as a Best Hospital for 2017-18 in Heart Failure. Of those, three hospitals also earned Best Hospital for 2017-18 in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) care. The rankings were published today by U.S. News & World Report.
Each hospital was evaluated on seven measures, which produced ratings of high performing, average, or below average in a procedure or condition relative to other rated hospitals in treating patients 65 and older.
All of the public hospitals in Brooklyn were recognized as "high performing" for heart failure care, and one was also recognized as "high performing" for COPD care. Of the seven public hospitals recognized as "high performing" for heart failure care, six received an "excellent" evaluation for how often patients are discharged directly home instead of to another facility. All seven hospitals recognized as "high performing" for heart failure and/or COPD care received an evaluation of 95 percent or higher for the percentage of ICU patients whose care included appropriate steps to prevent blood clots.
The annualBest Hospitals rankings, now in their 28th year, are part of U.S. News & World Report's patient portal, designed to help patients make informed decisions about where to receive care for life-threatening conditions or for common elective procedures.
For the 2017-18 rankings,U.S. News & World Report evaluated more than 4,500 medical centers nationwide in 25 specialties, procedures, and conditions.
The publication's methodologies include risk-adjusted survival and readmission rates, volume, patient experience, patient safety, quality of nursing care, and other care-related indicators.
This latest acknowledgment follows awards received in June from the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association. Ten public hospitals in the health system were recognized for implementing specific quality improvement measures related to the treatment of patients suffering from heart failure, cardiac arrest, and stroke. The awards recognized the consistent application of best-practice, research-based standards of care, which reduced recovery time, disability, and mortality rates for stroke patients, and reduced hospital readmissions for heart failure patients.

But these values are more than a page in our employee handbook. They make up our strategy for growing and scaling without breaking the cocoon that is our culture.
If your employees are happy and get along, your customers will be happy, and that leads to revenue. Any time I sit down with one of my employees, or pass one of them in the hallway, I ask "Are you happy?" It's a simple thing to ask, but it shows I care. The truth is most CEOs won't ask their employees this question because they're scared of the answer.
At PeopleDoc, we have nothing to hide. Each week, we share the company's progress with employees, and each month we give a global report. We do this consistently, whether the numbers are good…or not. Our employees value the transparency over positivity, and the fact we're transparent builds trust. The same goes for our customers. We don't focus solely on the positive and deemphasize the negative. We're transparent with our customers, even when something is going wrong. Part of being true also means we never oversell our capabilities. Our customers appreciate that we're realistic about what we can and can't do—and I think that's why they truly like working with us.
The truth is, every SaaS company has its flaw. What sets us apart is our vow to be better every day. That sounds like a lot, but if each of us improves by 1% each day—or even a fraction of 1%—imagine how far we'll have come by the end of the year. We'll get farther, faster by improving a little each day than if we think of improvement as a quarterly or yearly goal.
It's easy to improve every day because each of us has something we can learn from one another, even myself. I ask advice from my employees all the time. That doesn't make me any less of a CEO. Employees learn from their managers, but it works the other way around, too.
This equation shows how improving by just a small amount can have an exponential effect over time.
To be better, we have to be bold. As a technology company, we have to reinvent ourselves all the time. But there's no standard process or way of thinking that ensures we can do this. What we can do is commit to being bold. That means encouraging everyone to bring all ideas to the table, no matter how silly. It means coming up with an out-of-the-box solution, or simply taking something that's already been done and making it better. Most importantly, being bold is about accepting to fail—as long as you get up and try again.
We can't be bold without being humble at the same time. We're still a small company and we're up against competitors much bigger than us who are doing amazing things, like ServiceNow (I know, that's bold to name them). To be humble, and remain humble, we commit to learning every day from our customers, our colleagues, our partners—and even our competitors.
I'm very proud of the team for the growth we've achieved, but with fast growth comes the risk of losing the culture and mindset that got us here. These values will keep us focused. They're the reason we've retained 100% of our customers and they'll be the reason PeopleDoc will continue to grow, without changing who we are.


I came to Astana about a year ago. Rixos hotel chain decided to open a Turkish restaurant in Astana Rixos. To successfully launch the project, I was chosen from all working chefs in Turkey and assigned the mission to open a good restaurant here.
When I first came here, I was worried about the weather, because I always lived in warm places and faced such cold for the first time. These worries lasted half an hour because the fear passed when we drove into the city. Because we drove into a surprisingly beautiful city where the cold was not a big obstacle.
Since I came here, I haven't had many days off, because I'm fully into my work. So I didn't have a chance to explore the city. I have only one day off a week, and most of the time I visit different restaurants, look and try each kitchen to improve the dishes and serving in my restaurant.
When I was offered a job in another country, I began to look for information about this place, watched different channels on YouTube and approximately imagined Astana. If we compare the city communications, I like how the rules of the road are arranged here, how drivers behave on the roads. Turkey has problems due to the lack of a good road system, drivers do not pay attention to pedestrians but here people are more attentive and constantly pass pedestrians.
I do not use public transport, because I live close to work, but I think the advantage is allocated bus lines. Also, good that here forbidden to drink alcohol on the streets.
I noticed that the percentage of female drivers in Astana much higher than ours. In Turkey, on the roads, drivers try to avoid women driving because of a possible accident but here women, despite the weather conditions and road inconveniences, confidently drive cars, I like it.
I like the hospitality of Kazakhs. My friends, who have been working here for eight months, also praise the local hospitality. I am impressed that the people with whom I work, heartily want to help and always friendly. In addition, the Kazakhs are Turkic-speaking, Muslim people, what also make us closer.
I have never been to Kazakhstan, but Rixos has branches in most of the world, so I got news and information about Rixos in Kazakhstan. When I learned we will go here, we, as chefs, immediately began to learn whether the Kazakhs like Turkish food, how the Kazakhs perceive our national cuisine and the results of the research have shown it is in demand, local people love it.
We put our heart and love into cooking, try to use and look for creative, non-standard approaches to serving dishes. Over 25 years of my career, I have always worked with love. I graduated from specialized universities in Turkey, but it means nothing if you work without soul and love. When I recruited people in Turkey, I personally asked and tested candidates, as it is important for me. We took those who had light in the eyes, who wanted to work and cook with us. I also based on the principle of the best: in case of baklava, I chose the best cook in cooking baklava from the region where it appeared, so that the chef had his father's heritage; if kebab, then I chose the best cook from the region where kebab was born.
So, I came with a team of four chefs, and here we have chosen five more people. Together we opened the restaurant Aksam, aimed at meat dishes. As in all projects at the initial stage we faced difficulties in the supply of equipment, the language barrier, but then everything figured out and we understood each other and started working.
The only fear of opening a Turkish restaurant is we could not find identical products in taste and colour for our products in Turkey. Fortunately, the person with whom we work here was able to find everything and even things that we could not find in Turkey. Kazakhstan is a country with high meat consumption, the quality of your lamb by taste criteria and in cooking is much higher than ours. For all years of professional experience, I have not cooked lamb meat better than here.
The dishes we cook in Astana, we do better than in Turkey. Over the 73 days since the opening of the restaurant, we had no bad reviews.
The food we serve here represents seven Turkish regions. In Turkey, many dishes have been transformed from the original recipes and in the restaurant Aksam, we prepare dishes only according to the original, unchanged recipes, as it was in ancient times. Therefore, the dishes are delicious.
When we have a guest, we firstly bring an assortment of snacks on the cart. If the menu is not clear enough, a guest can look at the dishes, try, the waiter will show and tell all the details and ingredients. We also have a bakery where we bake hotcakes served with butter.
When I cook baklava, lahmacun, kebabs or other snacks, I think who will be able to cook as well as we do. I am proud of my team and the fact that we cook the best Turkish dishes.

"My Weapon Is Data"
Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj recently established his third enterprise, BoomLive, to fight fake news.

During the current elections in India, 900 million people are allowed to vote. It is the biggest election in history in the world's biggest democracy. India is facing many challenges; fake news is one of them. Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj, founder of IndiaSpend and FactChecker, recently established his third enterprise, BoomLive, to fight fake news. Facebook is one of BOOMLive's clients.
You have been a journalist for many years. How did you also become an entrepreneur?
For more than 25 years, I have been doing financial journalism in magazine, newspaper, and television. I wanted to do a different kind of journalism and solve fundamental societal problems. Then I realized that one way to do so was to start something on my own because that is the only way you have the freedom to do what you want.
You founded IndiaSpend, FactChecker, and Boom. What gave you the idea to run three organizations at the same time?
IndiaSpend came first. The whole idea is that we use data to tell stories in the public interest. When you have data you can connect with the people and convince them of the argument whatever it is. There are lots of issues that we face in countries like India. But it really comes down to education, health care, environment, and genderequality. So how do you bring about change? One way is to write an opinion and say that something is right or wrong, that these are the solutions and so on. The other way is to use data. As you go deeper and deeper with using data, you start bringing out issues that really matter and make people aware that we have to focus on specific things and then demand change.
What are those things?
In India, health and education are the two key issues. Let's use primary education as an example. One question is: Why are children in grade 4 not able to do grade 1 math? Data allows me to focus on this issue rather than saying that education as a whole is the problem. The problem is primary education and outcomes. As I go deeper, it turns out that the teachers are not trained properly. How can I improve thequality of the outcomes so that children become better students? That is the issue to work on.

How do you gather and check your data?
We largely deal with public data and mostly work with government data or with responses of parliamentarians. We do ground reporting as well. For example, the government says they have built such and such a number of toilets. So, we go and check at least some places where the government said they have built toilets. We also check the data itself, for example when the government says that they have built so and so many toilets a year. We calculate the numbers and see if it is feasible or not. You get a better understanding of what is specifically wrong and what is wrong in general.
How does your team work?
Our team is a combination of journalists who come from regular newspapers and magazines, and also a bunch of researchers who come from a research and public policy background. The idea is that the journalists bring the reporting skills, and the researchers the numbers skills. Combining the numbers, the public policy aspect, and the journalism is what IndiaSpend tries to do through more in-depth stories.
IndiaSpend uses data to outline issues. What about FactChecker?
In 2014, we had parliamentary elections in India, just like we do now. During the elections that led to Barack Obama's re-election as President in the USA, some of the big televisions networks and media organizations were beginning to do fact checking. If Obama – or another politician – made a statement about something, they would fact-check it. The idea is that you fact-check statements made by people in public life in order to hold them accountable.Because just because they say something does not mean it is true. Or the context might be missing. And if it's not true, it should be questioned.
So it is like government monitoring?
It is more about checking statements made by people in public life. In general, I think there is a need or an opportunity for us as journalists to fact-check what people in publiclife are saying and put it into context. This is what FactChecker did ahead of the 2014 elections.
What does BoomLive, which also works with Facebook,do compared to FactChecker?
At the time of the U.S. elections, I don't think it was clear to most people that misinformation, or what later began to be called fake news, actually had an impact on people and their decisions. It was clear to me by 2016 that this was happening, also in other parts of the world. So we set up BOOMLive and realized that going after fake news was a completely distinct activity. FactChecker checks statements and questions them. In case of a wrong statement, one can contact the person. Fake news, however, goes under the radar; it is stuff that you find in your inbox, your WhatsApp, on Telegram or other social media platforms. WhatsApp, for example, has about 230 million subscribers in India. BOOMLive addresses a different constituency, as there is no one you can call when it comes to fake news.
How do you pick up fake news?
We are tracking social media platforms, mainly WhatsApp and Facebook. WhatsApp is about 95% of misinformation distribution in India. Facebook is also there but less than in 2017. It really shifted to WhatsApp.
What can you say about the ongoing elections?
Clearly we can see that there is a lot of misinformation about political candidates, the party itself, about bringing out some kind of history of someone against someone.
Who is responsible for fake news?
It is the people who create fake news and doctored images. But technology and the internet allow them to accelerate at a very, very high speed. Everything happened already in the past, but the speed of change, the speed of distribution, and the speed of outreach have increased dramatically, and I think that is something we have to worry about.
Why did fake news start in the U.S. and has now spread all over the world?
One reason is a mistrust in mainstream media. There was already some mistrust in the UnitedStates, as well as in India, and I think that people like US President Donald Trump have built that further. The same thing has happened in Brazil, Russia, China, and India, too. Politicians attack the media, and these attacks get amplified by social media. A lot of people feel that the mainstream media is just entertainment and not news.
You have been attacked because of your work. What is driving you personally?
My vision is to improve governance and accountability in this country. My belief is that ifpeople are more aware of issues and have better data, then they will also get engaged and demand better governance and accountability from their representatives. There are many tools and weapons to fight these battles, but my weapon is data because that is the one thing most difficult to argue with. I am not saying that data can't be wrong but usually you have data to have a strong argument on your side. We have a lot of problems to solve in this country, and I am just a journalist who wanted to bring change. I am now far more satisfied. We are doing something which is still unique and we are making a differencebecause what we do is consumed by a lot of people and affects a lot of people.
Who, for you, is a responsible leader?
I think a responsible leader is someone who works not only towards bettering his or her own life but also contributes meaningfully to society in a very specific way using his or her skills to create some definitive impact on society and bring about transformational change. Using your talents and skills for societal, transformational change is being a responsible leader.

Elections in India
The world's largest exercise in democracy is well underway with up to 900 million people vote to choose their next leader. Due to the massive size of the operation, polling will unfold over seven phases around the country ending on May 19. The results will be declared on May 23; key issues of India's marathon election include the economy, jobs and unemployment. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are seeking re-election after a landslide victory in 2014. The election is overshadowed by ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan over the disputed Kashmir region.

Senate Vote To Prevent Government Shutdown Fails
Filed Under:Donald Trump, House, Local TV, Senate
WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork) — A Republican-backed short-term spending bill to fund the government failed to pass the Senate on Friday night.
The Senate voted on the stop-gap measure to keep the government funded through Feb. 16. But the GOP failed to get the 60 votes needed to vote on a bill that would have funded the government for 30 days.
As CBS2's Andrea Grymes reported, President Donald Trump worked the phones in a bid to get the bill passed, but foreshadowed the outcome on Twitter at around 9:30.
Not looking good for our great Military or Safety & Security on the very dangerous Southern Border. Dems want a Shutdown in order to help diminish the great success of the Tax Cuts, and what they are doing for our booming economy.
Democrats were demanding concessions on immigration to protect the so-called Dreamers, the young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children. They rallied outside the Capitol, speaking out about the program which is set to expire in March.
Democrats want to ensure Dreamers are allowed to stay in the country and want the assurance to be part of the budget deal.
"They teach in our schools, they serve in our hospitals, they're our first responders," Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said.
Trump argued that a DACA fix must be paired with stricter immigration reforms including funding for a border wall.
Republicans say the legislation should be separate from the government funding bill.
Many in the GOP are blaming the situation on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York).
Schumer met with President Trump at the White House Friday afternoon following an invitation from the president, CBS News confirmed.
"Shutdown is ridiculous, and I'm old enough to remember four years ago, Schumer said you don't hold the government hostage to politics, it would be chaos if there was a shutdown, and here we are at a shutdown of his own making," Cory Gardner (R-CO) said.
After the meeting, Schumer said "some progress" was made but a "good number of disagreements" remain.
"We had a long and detailed meeting, we discussed all the major outstanding issues. We made some progress, but we still have a good number of disagreements. The discussions will continue," he said.
After the House passed the bill Thursday night, Speaker Paul Ryan said "the only people standing in the way of keeping the government open are Senate Democrats."
The failed vote means the government will shut down early Saturday, the first government shutdown since 2013, CBS News reported.
"I am trying to get us to come together in a bipartisan nature to get something done," said Schumer.
Speaking to reporters Friday, White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said he was putting the chances of a shutdown "between 50 and 60 percent" but said "we're planning for it as though it's 100 percent."
"We don't want this. We do not want a shutdown," Mulvaney said. "But if Mr. Schumer insists on it, he is in a position to force this on the American people."
Also speaking Friday, Rep. Nancy Pelosi said "we believe in meeting the needs of the American people."
"The Democrats are not about shutting down government," she said.
On Twitter earlier Friday morning, Trump said "Democrats are needed if it is to pass in the Senate – but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. Shutdown coming?"
Government Funding Bill past last night in the House of Representatives. Now Democrats are needed if it is to pass in the Senate – but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. Shutdown coming? We need more Republican victories in 2018!
Despite the shutdown, TSA agents and air traffic controllers will remain on the job and the interior department will keep national parks and monuments open. But many other government services would cease.
Hundreds of thousands of non-essential government workers will go on unpaid leave. Active duty military will go to work, but will not get paid, and the CDC will not have enough personnel to support its annual flu program.
The White House says the president will stay in Washington until a funding bill is passed. He was set to leave Friday afternoon for Florida.

You guys when I was invited to be a guest teacher on the year long course "Art Walk Alchemy" with the 2019 theme of "Totems and Talismans" how could I resist! I mean the thought of it made me swoon! We all want to create from our soul, things that are special to us, give meaning to our lives…make each moment special. To me that is what totems and talismans are all about They are symbols of the things we hold dear and the beliefs we uphold. For me the spirit world embodies all those things.

I hope to see you in class with all these amazing teachers!

Q: Local variable assignment with command substitution behaves unexpectedly I got some troubles when managing dialog output and exit codes. Essentially I'm trying to get a one-line script for getting dialog selection and terminate script function:
local _ui_envname=$(dialog --stdout --cancel-label "Back" --inputbox 'Enter the new environment name:' 0 0) || { echo "Failed"; exit 1; }

However the above command fails miserably (the { echo "Failed"; exit 1; } is not executed at all when dialog exit code is 1). The culprit seems to be the local keyword: removing the local variable specifier it starts working as expected.
What is going on? Am I doomed to use "global" variables?

A: Not only local, all declaration utilities mask the exit code of the substituted command, because the assignment does not fail.
The usual workaround is:
local _ui_envname
_ui_envname=$(dialog --stdout --cancel-label "Back" --inputbox 'Enter the new environment name:' 0 0) || { echo "Failed"; exit 1; }


TUCSON, Ariz. (April 1, 2019) — Miguel "El Alacran" Berchelt and Francisco "El Bandido" Vargas waged pugilistic war once before. The Mexican warriors, two-plus years removed from their breathtaking battle, are set to do it again.
Navarrete (26-1, 22 KOs) has won 21 consecutive bouts, bursting onto the world scene with his shocking upset of Dogboe. In their initial contest, he pressed the action and busted up Dogboe to notch the well-deserved decision. A two-fisted power puncher, the Dogboe victory ended his knockout streak at eight. Dogboe (20-1, 14 KOs), 24, emerged in 2018 as the latest in the long line of fan-friendly Ghanaian champions. A member of Royal Badu family of Anyako in the Volta Region of Ghana, Dogboe snatched the WBO junior featherweight title from Jessie Magdaleno in April 2018, coming off the deck in the opening round to stop Magdaleno in the 11th. He defended his title in August, steamrolling Hidenori Otake in one round. Then, he ran into the upset-minded Navarrete, who put a halt to Dogboe's magical run. Come May 11, Dogboe will have a chance to regain his status as one of the sport's elite young talents.
