Coronavirus: UK secures additional 2 million doses of Moderna vaccine
Britain has secured an additional two million doses of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine candidate, the government said in a statement on Sunday.
Following the latest deal, Britain has access to enough doses of Moderna's vaccine candidate for around 3.5 million people. Overall, it has access to 357 million doses of vaccines from 7 different developers, according to the statement.
"With a wide range of vaccine candidates in our portfolio, we stand ready to deploy a vaccine should they receive approval from our medicines regulator, starting with those who will benefit most," Britain's health minister, Matt Hancock, said in the statement.


The FAS-SLIDECH300BBUP Chain-driven Gate Operator operates by forcing a straight piece of chain through its chain box. This length of chain is extended between two chain brackets located at opposite ends of the gate. The FAS-SLIDECH300BBUP will handle a gate weighting up to 600 lbs and up to 20 ft.

UPDATE: Pilot crashes plane into clubhouse after dispute
Sunday 24 March 2019 - 6:53pm
File: A pilot has reportedly died after crashed the plane into a clubhouse in Botswana.
JOHANNESBURG - A pilot has died after crashed the plane into a clubhouse in Botswana.
According to media reports, the pilot 'deliberately' crashed the plane into a clubhouse and ATC tower at Matsieng Aerodrome in attempt to kill his wife after a domestic dispute.
On Sunday, the Matsieng Flying Club issued a statement on the pilot's death.
"Earlier in the afternoon the deceased pilot was an uninvited guest at a private function that was held at the Matsieng Flying Club facility at Matsieng Aerodrome. It is rumoured that the pilot was involved in a domestic dispute earlier in the afternoon," it said in a statement.

It is reported that people were evacuated after he allegedly made a number of low fly pasts from different directions.
"Matsieng Flying Club members sensed that the pilot might have had an ulterior motive at the time and ordered an immediate evacuation of the club premises by the approximately fifty attendees," read the statement.
The club said its facility and Matsieng ATC tower were destroyed on impact.
It said the post-impact fire destroyed 13 parked vehicles.
There was no serious injury to any person in the vicinity of the accident scene, the club added.

Q: Backup and restore CoreData I would like to offer my users the possibility to email a backup of their data:
let filemanager = FileManager()
let documentsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.libraryDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0]
let coreDataFilePath = documentsPath.appending("/Application Support/MyApp.sqlite")
let coreDataFile = filemanager.contents(atPath: coreDataFilePath)
print("\(coreDataFilePath)")

if MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail()
{
    let mail = MFMailComposeViewController()
    mail.mailComposeDelegate = self
    mail.setSubject("Backup")
    mail.setMessageBody("Use this email to backup your data", isHTML: true)
    mail.addAttachmentData(coreDataFile!, mimeType: "myapp/sqlite", fileName: "myapp.madb")

    present(mail, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
else
{
    print("Mail services are not available. Please open the mail application and setup an email account.")
    return
}

But I'd like to restore the data and don't know how I should go about this. Especially that iOS 10 CoreData has changed.
And I'd like to do all of this without having to have to user restart the app.
I have this post as reference:

Swiss Re Capital Markets structures and places USD 350 million catastrophe bond for Frontline Insurance
Swiss Re Capital Markets has successfully structured and placed the issuance of USD 350 million of insurance-linked securities by Frontline Re Ltd on behalf of Frontline Insurance ("Frontline"). The transaction is Frontline's debut catastrophe bond and covers named storms in Alabama, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Published on: 07 Sep 2018, New York
Swiss Re Capital Markets underwrote the transaction via two classes of principal at-risk variable rate notes issued by Frontline Re Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company licensed and registered as a special purpose insurer under the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978 and related regulations, each as amended.
The USD 350 million Frontline Re Ltd. transaction represents the largest cat bond of a Florida based (non-government entity) insurance company. The USD 250 million Class A notes and USD 100 million Class B notes have a four-year risk period starting July 1, 2018 and provide protection against named storms. The transaction features an event adjusted attachment level, which for the first time in the cat bond market is based on the event size rank of a named storm within an annual risk period.
Jean-Louis Monnier, Co-Head of ILS at Swiss Re Capital Markets, comments: "Swiss Re is pleased to provide support to Frontline on its debut catastrophe bond issuance. The transaction was well received by investors, and is the largest for a Florida insurer since 2014. The innovative cat bond combines structural mechanics of the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund ("FHCF") as well as features of Frontline's private reinsurance coverage and therefore seamlessly integrates with Frontline's reinsurance program."
Swiss Re Capital Markets acted as sole structuring agent and sole bookrunner for the transaction.
The Frontline Re Ltd. notes were sold pursuant to Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws; they may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject, to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Indu Sah Foundation
For Better Healthcare and Education
Your Kind Donation!
WHAT WE DO : GALLERY
ISF Volunteers
Indu Sah Foundation is an emerging non-profit organization established on December 24, 2018, registered under section 4 of act 2034 of The Government of Nepal, and affiliated with the Social Welfare Council. We are based in Loharpatti, Mahottari, Nepal which is 250 kilometers south of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, and 7 kilometers west of Janakpur Dham, the capital city of province 2, Nepal.
The organization is a nonprofit making, non-religious, non-political, and non-governmental organization. The organization works for health, education, livelihood, water, sanitation, and hygiene as well as construction, gender equality and social inclusion, human rights, and governance through operation, research, advocacy, and capacity enhancement.
The Core Mission of the Indu Sah Foundation is to help underprivileged children for better health and education.
Letter from Founders
My brother and I were discussing doing some charity work in the school where we were once students in high school. I had a thought about charity from the very beginning of my childhood. I used to feel happier throughout the day when I used to get many chances to do things for the disadvantaged community in my village Madhepura. We lost our mother in our childhood so I proposed the idea of Indu Sah (our late mother) Foundation (ISF).
We agreed on healthcare and education. Our foundation is teaming up with multiple helping hands, foundations, donors, human resources in Nepal and around the world to take on some tough challenges: better healthcare and education for all the resourceless people under the extreme poverty line in every region of Nepal. Our vision is to help people all around the world. We focus on only a few issues because we think that's the best way to have a great impact, and we focus on these issues in particular because we think they are the biggest barriers that prevent people from making the most of their lives.
The core strategy of our foundation will be promoting health, providing health education for a better future for the family, and the children in Nepal. We have started from southern Nepal, Mahottari, where we have been grown up. As we learn which bets pay off, we have to adjust our strategies and share the results so everyone can benefit.
We're both optimistic and believe deeply in philanthropy. We believe by doing these things—Promoting, educating for better health. We can help every person get the chance to live a healthy and productive life.

Why you should be wearing Mask.
S ince the beginning of the Covid crisis, it has been a controversy, whether to put on a mask or not, whether it could protect from the contraction of Covid- 19 or not. The reason behind the controversy is the initial statements produced by the World Health Organization and many scholarly scientists. The COVID-19 has been identified as a novel coronavirus, which has a very strong ability to get mutated. Whenever there is something new, even researchers wouldn't have enough knowledge about it, and once leading statements could turn into misleading. That's what has happened in different phases of the COVID-19 handling since it came among us. Now, the researchers have understood the virus in a better and much efficient way. The global public health scientists are urging us to wear masks while going out, or staying in a crowd, or socializing in emergencies. It could prevent people from getting infected with the virus. Other than hand washing and social distancing, wearing a mask should be
Indu Sah Foundation's Humanitarian Effort Continues...
Indu Sah Foundation is one of the leading humanitarian organizations in Nepal, which empathizes with the people living under the poverty line. ISF is always focused on its mission to uplift the lives of the underserved communities in Nepal. ISF is currently taking care of families in Mahottari. It has supported the isolated communities not once but multiple times. ISF team values the necessities of the underprivileged community in Mahottari, and always comes with ideas to support them with food and clothes when needed. Mahottari is suffering from a severe cold and the people who survive on daily wages needed support to get through the cold wave crisis. More than 120 families needed assistance to combat the severe cold. Therefore, the ISF team came up with an idea to give warm clothes to the marginalized. The NepalMed supported this noble cause and we gave away 517 warm clothes, that included jackets and trousers to children, Saris to women, and blankets to all the families. The total n

Your cousin came over last night to hang out so that his mommy and daddy could go play kick-ball in the blazing hot weather (crazy). We were more than happy to hang out with him in the air conditioning. Yes, you have some lazy parents.
When your cousin walked in the door, you both squealed and started running around the house. After you wore yourselves out a little, we had some dinner and settled in to watch a Thomas movie. The look on your cousin's face is because there was a scary train in this particular scene. Who knew that Thomas-the-Train could be considered a horror movie for toddlers?
Are 1980's toys considered vintage now that it is 2013? I can't really be old enough to have toys that are considered vintage…can I?
You love the Little People house I found in the attic over the weekend. Your trains go through the front door and your fire truck fits in the garage. I watched you give the baby a kiss on the head after you put him in the chair. You play with this house for quite a while on your own, which is really fun to see. I'd like to know what is going through that little brain of yours.
Playing in the yard is one of the the best parts about living at Gran's house. She has a great big place to play for you and the dogs. Outside is her favorite place. Too bad it is 1000 degrees outside in Oklahoma right now. Luckily, we had a few cool days last week so that we could get outside and enjoy the yard. I'm definitely ready for fall.
When you have several puzzles, it is often hard to choose just the right one. When I snapped this picture, you were looking for the hippo. Unfortunately, the hippo was left on top of my car on one of our trips to Gran's house during the move. He is on a great adventure somewhere.
I've mentioned your love of books before. Even though we have memorized many of the books around the house (seriously, we recited The Napping House by Audrey Wood the other night when you were having trouble going back to sleep), it makes me smile to see you grab a book and flip through the pages. You've got to appreciate the little things.

This is a game that's been on my radar since it was announced, I feel the same way about this one as I do crowfall. Love the thought, pvp, whatever else behind it but these cash shops put a giant red flag on it. You are paying for an advantage in a pvp game, its not going to go well in the long run.
Even better, you can only purchase your advantage pre launch, but not post which IMO isn't an improvement and may deprive the game of needed revenue.

It's fairly simple really.
They are allowing p2w pre launch because they want people that join at launch or post launch to enter a world that's already "alive" with established kingdoms, trades and a somewhat working if newish economy.
They are allowing pre launch p2w with the explanation or idea that otherwise if everyone started at zero at launch (no kings, barons, mayors, tradesmen, farmers or economy) or if there was a wipe then it would be like everyone would have to start from caveman era and it would take a long time to get shit rolling so to speak.
Let's dispense with the idea this plan is a good one, just a "necessary evil" in order to fund the game's development.
A far better idea would be to take CCPs approach in EVE seeding a portion of the world with a NPC kingdom with all the necessary resources to let new players to build up their skills and resources before venturing out to "claim their kingdom."
Would have been far more fair, interesting, and have an added bonus of a safe (or safer) kingdom for PVEers or even rogue elements who don't wish to join a kingdom to base from.
It even gives a defeated kingdom a place to regroup, lick their wounds, and prepare for their next campaign.
I understand why Caspian's approach is necessary, but quit with the BS spin he invented on how this is beneficial, its just a reach that isn't really valid .

Yup.. everyone knows the real game is all about fussing that the game needs to change to be how you want it to be or you won't buy it.
As opposed to you know.. just not buying the games you don't like.
Dleatherus Member UncommonPosts: 162
i agree that it's a necessary step to fund the game's development, and though as i have mentioned several times that i do not personally like cash shops, i support it due to the practical lack of other alternatives that wouldn't compromise the vision of the game
you make an interesting point regarding the NPC kingdoms
I had proposed having 8 kingdoms at launch - 6 player and 2 NPC
I believe that the addition of 2 NPC kingdoms would have enriched the 'story' on each server and by having them, would have offered a broader, richer, and fun range of possibilities
however they have already adjusted from the original plan of 3-5 kingdoms per server to 6, and might be that by going to 8 kingdoms it would have shrunk them down too much
Dleatherus said:
As they won't be changing core designs there is the opportunity for a kingdom to try and operate as a "neutral haven" (think the hotel in the John Wick movies) where everyone is free to gather to trade or what not and be protected from attack.
Not sure if game designs support such though, could be cool if they did.

Maybe you're confused on posters but I have been anything BUT a supporter of this game and think many of the ideas are flawed, I been pretty much with Slap on this game.
Maybe next time you quote someone quote the whole damned post especially that last bit where I show that I feel this is a flawed idea instead of getting bent out of shape and accusing someone of "spinning" shit for Caspian.
I made my feelings, about this game and Caspian himself, quite clear way way back when Caspian first posted in these forums.

Sigh, you literally presented "their" entire line of reasoning and closed with this
"You will be able to do everything others have paid pre launch to do, you will just have to start from the bottom rung of the ladder and work your way up in game whereas they allowed people prelaunch to pay to skip ahead, which is how they are funding the game, with what I wrote above as their reasoning.
It does make sense but I feel they are grossly underestimating how awful people can be and how much the pre launch people will troll and how difficult it will be for anyone joining post launch to "catch up" or be able to compete fairly with them."
Despite your final closing statement, saying that "it does make sense" is hardly the way to show your disagreement with the validity of their defense.
Your point after that about the potential non success is irrelevant.
If you are trying to prove your membership as a Harbinger you are doing it wrong.
Don't be daft.
I was answering someone else that was demanding why Caspian and his underlings though this was okay so I gave him their reasonings as they see it and finished with saying I thought they were underestimating people and how stupid or trolly they can be.
Your post help to show this last bit so thanks for that.
That said trying to show me as somekind of CoE fanboy seriously has blown up in your face as anyone with a memory better than a rabbits would know this to be blatantly stupid and incorrect.

Mendel Member EpicPosts: 3,513
I'm not entirely convinced that there will be a way to do things post-launch.
The theory is that if someone is selling an item you want to make and sell too (like the cute fox-thing), the way to do that is to kill the person with that item. However, there's not a clear response if I can take the item, or if Inheritance will cover this. I've asked this before. No answer from anyone official or otherwise.
If it's Inheritance, then I can take the fox-critter all I want, but I wouldn't be able to keep it. He'd spawn an heir and present a will that items were his father's and the items will be reinstated to him. If I can't take-by-force, all I can do is purchase it in-game. Given the idea of limited money in-game, that's not going to work for post-launch players. I'm guessing that the lack of money will essentially make all pre-launch purchases a monopoly, which post-launch players will not have access to. I understand that there's no plan for 'wild fox-critters' for me to capture and tame myself.
I can't see this being a loot-everything-anytime situation. The backers (those who are paying for these things) will be protected. Or there will be whining and complaining of the highest magnitude imaginable. I just can't envision a company allowing people to pay thousands of dollars for an in-game item and having that item be a free-for-all-grab-the-pixels. I do not accept that people are buying these items for 'the general good of other people in the game', they're buying for themselves. They own these items.
I'm betting that players will take the ownership to heart. So much so that a free-for-all loot scenario may even generate some real life lawsuits.
I still am unconvinced that it will be possible to take items purchased with real-world money from another player. I will definitely have to see that in action.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
Umm as I understand it, the Foxcelot is a wild animal in the game, they are simply buying a domesticated one. If you want to raise and breed them yourself, you could simply capture a Fox-things and befriend them, till you had enough to start breeding them on your own, and never once need to deal with the person who bought them ahead of them.
They simply had bypassed the capture and domesticate process.
The view of the mire from under the bridge is lovely this time of year..
Honestly I might be into this game if it wasnt for the convoluted soul system thing. I would rather just pay for my time per month or whatever and not have to think about anything else.
there basically isn't anything in this game that can't be taken
granted it will be easier to steal a sword from a solo player, than take a kingdom from an entire community, however it is to be expected:
AshyLarry24 Member UncommonPosts: 208
The soul system is one of my favorite parts of the game. Without it the whole concept sort of falls apart. Dying in the game isn't a big deal if you can just create a new character as long as you pay your monthly fee.
And the devs have made it pretty clear that after launch there is no protections for anyone after that. THat's the major reason I don't care about people buying stuff before launch. Unlike some other games the advantages you can buy in CoE can and will be taken away from you.
I'll be the first one to complain if people are being catered to, too much. But I honestly think a lot of the people with packages will be overthrown early, because they lack leadership and quite frankly basic social skills.

One big problem with selling cash shop items this early in the game's development is that it accumulates technical debt. They're now legally obligated to create these cash shop items when in some cases they might not even be sure how feasible they'll be to implement in the final product. A foxcelot pet is probably safe enough at least, though, unlike how they sold entire castles and basically entire countries before they've determined just how much their engine and net code can handle.
Selling map sections, or even whole zones is nothing new, games have been doing that since 2003, or maybe sooner, so that also is a safe bet. Not like making a map area and a castle is going to be hard in the grand scheme of making an MMO.
Might be cool for a single player game where you can reload your last game save to recover hours of work like Rimworld, but I imagine its gonna cause some keyboard rage in an mmo for a few folks because it will happen at the worst time most likely.
They are asking you not to get attatched to the work you put into your character. That's a big stretch. I just can't play like that. Maybe it's just me but I like that sense of acomplishment I get from building the perfect avatar for my play style in an mmo and being able to show off years of work with titles and gear.
Even in old games like EQ, swg you could kinda tell who the vets were. In a single player game it maters less if I lose progress and have to restart. If I want to start over in an mmo I can make an alt. This is why this game has been such a hard sell to investors, its a gamble for sure.
I'm curious, what game in 2003 sold individual players a map section or zone?
My bet is everyone of the early package kingdoms will be ousted in under a year unless the devs build in something to protect them.
In EVE even the greatest of organizations eventually lose, no matter how good they are, but the best regroup and take control of somewhere else....for a time.
I am aware of what has been said. Yet, they've also suggested an inheritance system with rules and heirs and laws and contracts to protect some things, pretty much contrary to the idea of winner-take-all. To me, they appear to be supporting both sides. That's sending mixed messages.
I'm also skeptical about the nobility and aristocracy making up only 2% of the population. That's a lot of other players they will need to attract (and retain). But that's fodder for another thread.
I saw somewhere that the fox-critter wasn't a wild creature. That was one of the selling points. Maybe they've changed their minds.
I'll see if I can dig up a reference.


For the animal commonly referred to as the "Cavy", see Guinea pig.
The cavy family (Caviidae) is a family of rodents native to South America, including the domestic guinea pig, wild cavies, and the capybara, among other animals. They are found across the continent, in open areas from moist savanna to thorn forests or scrub desert. This rodent family has fewer members than most other rodent families, with 18 species in six genera.
With the exception of the maras, which have a more rabbit-like appearance, caviids have short, heavy bodies and large heads. Most have no visible tails. They range in size from the smaller cavies at 22 cm in body length, and 300 grams in weight, up to the capybara, the largest of all rodents at 106 to 134 cm in length, and body weights of 35 to 66 kilograms. Even larger forms existed in the Pliocene, such as Phugatherium, which was about the size of a tapir.
They are herbivores, eating tough grasses or softer leaves, depending on species. The dental formula is similar to that of various other rodents: 1.0.1.31.0.1.3. Females give birth to two or three furred and active young after a gestation period of 50 to 90 days in most species, or 150 days in the capybara. In most species, they are sexually mature within a few months of birth, although in capybaras, maturity is not reached until around 18 months.
Social organisation varies widely among the group. Many cavies are promiscuous, forming no long-lasting social groups, although, in some species, males maintain harems of two or more females. In contrast, maras are monogamous, and form temporary colonial creches to care for the young of multiple mothers. Capybaras live in groups of around 10 individuals, and sometimes many more, each with a single dominant male, and a number of females, subordinate males, and juveniles.
Genus Cavia, this genus is especially called 'cavy'.

Here is a link to an article about a U.S. study that suggests that "glaciers are melting at variable rates and not at an increasing trend" and that "variability during such a short time underlines the problem in assuming glacial melting and sea level rise will necessarily occur at a steady upward trajectory."
Here is another article on experts in India questioning the theory on global warming again based on inconclusive data related to glacial melting.

Celtic music is enjoying a well-deserved revival. This revival may have been inspired by historical Hollywood epics, by popular dance acts such as "Riverdance", by Michael Flatley or purely by the emotional power of Celtic melodies. The songs all tell stories that have been passed down through successive generations, with more facets than any other kind of traditional music: some are melancholy dirges, some playful and lively dance tunes. This book brings together 20 of these traditional melodies in contemporary, modern arrangements for mixed chorus. In them you will find homophonic movements, sweeping melodic lines, vocal imitations of Celtic instruments and rousing rhythms. The irresistible charm of this music will leave no choral singer unmoved and is bound to find favour with audiences.
David Mooney's stunning arrangements of Irish traditional music were an instant success. As head of music department of the Conservatory of Music and Drama at Dublin Institute of Technology, Mooney is well known in Ireland and the UK where his arrangements have appeared on record, TV and radio. Those items which can be sung only in Irish Gaelic have an English text transliteration underlaid, and a complete IPA pronunciation guide as well as an English translation in the front matter. All items in these pieces are appropriate for multicultural concert occasions, and are of moderately easy to moderate difficulty.
England's King's Singers are known for their impeccable musicality. Coupled with the enthralling traditional melodies of Ireland, this intermediate to advanced level collection of ten arrangements will be challenging as well as rewarding and are some of King's Singers favorite and most requested concert selections. This songbook is not only an excellent value, but will become an invaluable addition to your choral library as well.
Jointly commissioned by the National Chamber Choir and the Cork International Choral Festival for the seminar from composition to performance, the seminar on choral music. This work was premièred at the Cork International Choral Festival on May 2, 2008 by the National Chamber Choir of Ireland conducted by Bo Holten.
Rollicking and upbeat, this playful setting of 'Tell My Man,' a traditional Irish children's song, is accented with hand-clapping and foot-stomping. Limited ranges and familiar harmonies enhance its accessibility and make it a winner! The King's Singers bring home a winner with their arrangement of 'Irish Lullaby.' Both fun and challenging, this soothing 6-part gem is sure to be enjoyed by all. Fred Prentice's compelling arrangement of 'O Danny Boy' has a beautiful tenor solo and rich 8 part harmony throughout. Another King's Singers classic, 'She Moved Through The Fair,' this beautiful Irish ballad is one of the their favorite and most-requested concert selections. With 'The Irish Blessing,' Joyce Eilers Bacak uses the traditional lyric, "May the road rise to meet you." Her a cappella creation makes a moving, easily-taught concert closer.

Also available: Orchestration and StudioTrax CD.
The rousing pentatonic tune of this Irish folksong comes to dramatic life in this stunning arrangement, where the text tells of the rigors of the daily lives of the hard-working miners. Perform this with piano and doumbek, or add some or all of the optional instruments for a full-fledged Irish reel.
This Don Moore arrangement of the traditional Irish blessing was originally published in a highly successful TTB edition. Now Moore has revoiced his original creation so that other choirs can perform this choral masterpiece. Easy to sing, and a real joy to program!
An alternate text (included in the publication) makes this stunning lullaby from Ireland appropriate for Christmas or at any time of year. Sustained a cappella phrases create expressive moments, and brief dissonances resolve beautifully every time. Easy on the voice and keen on the ear, this is one to sing every day as a warm-up selection, or as a "show off" piece at a moment's notice. Lovely.
Jack Noble White has an incredible gift for melody, and this new setting of the age-old Gaelic blessing is a perfect example of his talent. This work was premiered on a choir tour to the British Isles the year after Diana's death and was written in her memory. An optional handbell accompaniment may be used in addition to, or in place of, the keyboard. This beautiful benediction promises to become a staple in your choir's repertoire for many years to come.
The third number in the Songs of the World trilogy may be the most fun of all. The text is a familiar Irish one and so is the tune, but the arrangement is fresh and new. Includes opt. flute and drum.
An Irish folksong popularized by Loreena McKennitt, this arrangement offers a showcase alto solo supported by lush choral harmonies and an accessible piano accompaniment.
Artfully arranged by Philip Silvey, this beautiful, plaintiff Irish tune is named for the Northern town of Carrickfergus. The song begins with the text "I wish I was in Carrickfergus..." and proceeds to tell a rather typical, dark Irish tale. The melody is unforgettable, and audiences will leave humming.
Sweet and gentle from beginning to end, this charming lullaby captures the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. A captivating lilting Celtic melody and a text that is replete with vivid word painting combine to provide an excellent addition to your Christmas Eve service.

A veteran arranger like Vijay Singh knows when to let simplicity shine and when to bring in enhancements to a traditional melody like this one. He patiently waits until we are well-invested in the song before introducing us to harmonic variations. And even then they are subtle and artistically placed. Excellent for high school, college and community treble choirs.
SAB choirs will enjoy sharing their artistry and vocal technique in this lovely and accessible arrangement of the beloved Irish melody, with its gentle phrasing and warm harmonies.
Beautiful lyric lines and warm harmonies are the centerpiece of this stunning a cappella setting of the beloved Irish folk melody. This work is sure to leave your listeners spellbound!

Before co-founding BioLab Sciences I had a long and successful career in the telecommunications industry. At the age of 50, I decided to return to school to get my executive MBA to sharpen my skills and fill any knowledge gaps I had. It proved very impactful, as it allowed me to see other people at different stages in their careers, and what some of them were achieving or not achieving. It made me reflect internally on what I was doing and how I was using my skills.
On my last day of grad school, I had a life-altering moment — a rollover car accident from which I miraculously walked away without a scratch. The next day I was on a plane to Rochester, New York to start a new position and couldn't help but wonder, "Am I really doing anything to help improve lives or to help others?". And the answer — painfully — was no. I was helping businesses become more efficient, but I really wasn't changing lives.
I wanted to create value for other human beings. So, I made a career shift from software sales to regenerative medicine. Yes, it was a big transition, but we are so fortunate today to have a wealth of information at our fingertips. You truly can learn to do anything new you want.
It's been a great journey to where I am now. Regenerative medicine has come a long way in five years, and I think it's going to keep progressing tremendously as we learn more about how the body can help heal itself. This path is enabling me to help people who are suffering from hard-to-heal wounds. We're helping save people's limbs. We're absolutely changing lives and improving the quality of it for countless individuals. For me, this line of work definitely feels much better than saving a company money or helping a company achieve a better business plan.

Man appeals conviction in double murder, cites lawyer, judge errors (UPDATE)
LA CROSSE, Wis. (AP) — A former West Salem man serving two life sentences for the deaths of his parents has appealed the conviction, saying his lawyers failed him with faulty jury instruction and the judge excluded evidence that supported his innocence.
Eric Koula previously asked for a new trial, but was denied by Circuit Judge Scott Horne in September. The judge said the conviction resulted primarily for Koula's own lies designed to conceal his role in the murders.
The appeal, filed Tuesday, accuses Horne of allowing testimony plagued with hearsay evidence that was central to Koula's conviction. His new attorneys claimed in both the retrial motion and the appeal that the judge improperly disallowed that evidence and that jurors heard prejudicial jury instructions.
Koula's 2012 trial was the longest in La Crosse County history — 14 days of testimony from 57 witnesses and more than two days of jury deliberations, the La Crosse Tribune reported.
Prosecutors argued that Koula shot his parents, Dennis and Merna Koula, in their Barre home in 2010 so he could claim a substantial inheritance. They argued Eric Koula needed the money because he was deeply in debt, had a failing day-trading career and his parents had threatened to cut him off.
Dennis Koula's brother and co-worker testified that his brother said he was going to stop supporting his kids financially in the days leading up to his murder. But Eric Koula's new attorneys claim there's no evidence to support that he knew his parents planned to stop giving him money.
The appeal also is critical of the defense attorneys, saying they didn't explain their argument that the couple was the unintended target of a hit man who meant to kill one of their neighbors.
The District 4 Court of Appeals will decide whether Koula should get a new trial after the state Department of Justice responds to his appeal.

Michelangelo's First Training The First Drawings by Michelangelo Lorenzo the Magnificent's Garden The Battle of Centaurs by Michelangelo Bacchus Michelangelo from Florence to Rome Saint Peter's Pietà
back: Artists
Lorenzo the Magnificent's Garden
Art itineraries > Artists
In 1489 Michelangelo, not even 15 years old, started the school called Garden of Lorenzo the Magnificent and Pierfrancesco de' Medici, located in the Medici palace in front of the Monastery of San Marco. It was not really a School or Academy in the literal sense of the word, but a place that kept a rich collection of sculptures, drawings, books and antique objects, gathered by Lorenzo and before him, by Cosimo and Piero de' Medici.
Here, young artists learned the skills of the daily life, copying old models and working under the guidance of the old sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni.
By living in this environment, Michelangelo had the chance to meet important figures of the literary and humanistic scene of those times: Pico della Mirandola, the poet Angelo Poliziano, the philosopher Marsilio Ficino and Cristoforo Landino (Dante's annotator), all of them united by the love for Plato and Platonists and by the praise of the old as model of perfection. Inside this group of intellectuals that gravitated round the Magnificent, the Neo-Platonist philosophy was developed, which declared the supremacy of the spirit over matter, glorified the speculative life and taught faith in the beauty of the visible universe.
This doctrine became a fundamental piece of Michelangelo's artistic and poetic culture, even so that the scholar Erwin Panofsky said that "Michelangelo could define himself as the only genuine Platonist among all the artists that the Neo-Platonism influenced".
In the School of San Marco, the artist had the opportunity to copy statues, the heads and the old marbles displayed in the Garden as well as assimilate the fundamental lessons of the classic style and proportions. He became very skilful in counterfeiting models, going along with his master in a sort of "forger's game". This nonchalant speculation had however some famous "victims": in 1496, Cardinal Raffaele Riario called the twenty-one-years-old Michelangelo to Rome because he had bought a Cupid as antique, but had eventually found out that it was a work by the young artist. Riario wasn't naive, he was a great benefactor, an enthusiast of antiques who used to display his collection of antique pieces in the monumental Palazzo della Cancelleria (Palace of the Chancellery), built on the plan of Baccio Pontelli from 1488, definitely using classic lines. But for Michelangelo, the antique was never only a repertoire to imitate, but a world where he could get inspiration in an absolute personal way, an ideal source from where he could develop his ideas and imagination. During this period he carried out his earlier works as the Madonna of the Steps from 1490 to 1492 and the Battle of the Centaurs from around 1492.
Lorenzo the Magnificent died in 1492 and so Michelangelo left the Medici Gardens.

Jataka Tales: The Lion In Bad Company from Mocomi
Another great story from Jataka Tales. One day, a young lion was roaming around in the jungle alone when he spotted a wolf in the bushes. The wolf also saw the lion and feared that if he tried to run away, the lion would surely kill him. So, he himself walked up to the lion and said, "Dear Sir, you look very kind! If you take me to your den, and let me live with your family, I will help you in doing your household chores." He added, "I have never seen such a majestic young lion ever before in my life and it would be a pleasure to serve you and your family."
This young lion had been repeatedly told by his father and mother not to make friends with any wolf. But he was impressed by the oily talks of the wolf and decided to take him to his den.
The lion's parents did not want their son to be hanging out with the wolf but there was little that they could do as the young lion had grown very fond of the wolf. They feared that someday the lion would land in trouble because of the wolf. And they were absolutely right in thinking so!
One day the wolf had a strong craving to eat
horse-meat. He approached the young lion and said with folded hands, "Sir, there is nothing that we have not eaten except fresh horse-meat. I have heard that it tastes divine." The young lion was also tempted to eat horse-meat and asked the wolf to take him to the place where they could find some horses.
The wolf took the lion to a pond where some little ponies came to bathe. The young lion hid behind a bush and catching hold of a fine pony, he ran back to his den.
His father warned him, "My son, those ponies belong to the king! He has many skillful archers. If you steal another pony, you will endanger your life." But the young lion soon became addicted to the taste of horse-meat and started killing pony after pony. The wolf was also having a gala time savouring the juicy flesh of the young ponies with his friend.
Soon the king heard that a lion was killing the ponies when they went to bathe in the river. He got a tank built inside the city to keep his ponies safe from the lion, but the lion somehow sneaked in the city and killed the ponies as they bathed in the tank. Then
the king ordered his men to keep the ponies in the royal stables, thinking that the lion would not dare to enter the royal stables. But the lion went over the wall, and killed the ponies in their stables too.
At last the king called the most skillful archer and ordered him to shoot down the lion. The next day, when the lion sprang over the wall of the royal stables, in search of a pony, he was shot by the archer. He called out to the wolf in pain, "My friend, help me!"
The wolf was waiting for the lion to return with a pony, but when he heard his cry for help, he understood that the lion had been shot. Without wasting any time, he fled in the deep forest. The young lion breathed his last, repenting on not heeding to his parents' advice.

Another great story from Jataka Tales. One day, a young lion was roaming around in the jungle alone when he spotted a wolf in the bushes. The wolf also saw the lion and feared that if he tried to run away, the lion would surely kill him. So, he himself walked up to the lion and said, "Dear Sir, you look very kind! If you take me to your den, and let me live with your family, I will help you in doing your household chores." He added, "I have never seen such a majestic young lion ever before in my life and it would be a pleasure to serve you and your family."
One day the wolf had a strong craving to eat horse-meat. He approached the young lion and said with folded hands, "Sir, there is nothing that we have not eaten except fresh horse-meat. I have heard that it tastes divine." The young lion was also tempted to eat horse-meat and asked the wolf to take him to the place where they could find some horses.
His father warned him, "My son, those ponies belong to the king! He has many skillful archers. If you steal another pony, you will endanger your life." But the young lion soon became addicted to the taste of horse-meat and started killing pony after pony. The wolf was also having a gala time savouring the juicy flesh of the young ponies with his friend.

When it comes to size, bathrooms are typically the smallest rooms in a home and usually overlooked. There doesn't seem to be much you can do in terms of decor, but don't let space constraints stop you from achieving a stylish space nonetheless.
Achieve the "jungalow" look without having to commit to actual living plants with a tropical-themed wallpaper. To emulate a tropical landscape, the designer customised a floor-to-ceiling banana leaf-printed wallpaper for this bathroom, completing the look with brass accents and black cabinetry.
For this common bathroom, the homeowner sourced for blue square tiles on the walls, patterned tiles on the floor and a customised terrazzo basin from An Huat Trading. Simple black fittings like the tap, pendant lamp and round mirror frame accentuate the space.
Jazz up boring white walls by laying the tiles in a herringbone pattern. An all-white bathroom looks more spacious too. Worried about grout? Here are some simple cleaning tips to keep your tiles looking good as new.
To make a small bathroom look bigger, clear glass doors are a no-brainer. An accent wall adds charm, while minimalist shelving prevents the space from looking cluttered, especially if you have a more complicated shower system.
This bathroom features copper hardware, giant marble terrazzo, and handmade Moroccan tiles for a luxe look. The cherry on top? Matching oblong mirrors, styled differently for a characteristic look.
The original built-in wardrobes in the master bedroom were reconfigured into a walk-in wardrobe, made possible partly by reducing the size of the master bathroom and replacing the bathtub with a shower. A sturdy glass partition separates the shower area from the rest of the bathroom, keeping the space open and airy.
We love the sconces that frame the mirror of this master bathroom. Besides making the vanity zone look more chic, placing lights near a mirror reflects more light, thus enhancing the brightness of the space.
Light wood and stony grey are a match made in heaven, and add so much texture to the space without feeling overwhelming. The pop of green, geometric tiles under the counter is an interesting addition.
A darker bathroom interior can be super chic too, just make sure to leave the window uncovered to let natural light in. Also, a pipe-turned-scratcher for cats? Why didn't we think of this sooner?
Here's another gorgeous way to do a dark bathroom: Pair black quartz with Italian grey stone tiles for a both luxurious and minimal, masculine and chic look.
You'll never guess that both the mirror and vanity in this bathroom are over 60 years old. This just goes to show that old can be gold, so don't be afraid to restore or upcycle old pieces or antiques.
The legs of a Singer sewing machine support the vanity and sink in this quirky-style bathroom, while the light fixture above the vanity mirror adds a bit of retro flair too. Keeping the colour scheme black and white helps make these pieces stand out more, and keep the theme focused.

UNSMIL welcomed Abu Salim ceasefire in Tripoli

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has deplored the outbreak of violence in Abu-Selim, Tripoli that resulted in many casualties.
The Mission commended the Presidency Council and community leaders' efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and prevent further escalation. The terms of the agreement must be implemented immediately, and those responsible for acts of violence must be held accountable.
"My sincere sympathies to all those affected by the violence, especially the families of the victims and the injured" said Martin Kobler, Special Representative of the Secretary General and Head of UNSMIL. "This incident once again demonstrates the need for a swift political solution, including a united Libyan army, operating under civilian control, to provide security for all Libyans. I call for the speedy activation of police and security forces to protect Libyans from crime and lawlessness," he added.
Kobler has expressed his full support to the Presidency Council as the sole legitimate executive authority in Libya and calls for renewed efforts towards the implementation of the Libyan Political Agreement. This is in line with the Security Council resolutions on Libya.
The United Nations and the international community remain committed to assist the Libyan people to find solutions to their differences and to support all Libyan endeavors to ensure unity, stability and peace, UNSMIL added.
The men, women and children of Libya deserve a life of peace and prosperity, it concluded.

BULAWAYO - Veteran football administrator Ndumiso Gumede has ruled the Bulawayo giants Highlanders out of this year's championship race saying the newly assembled youthful side probably needs time to develop before they can fight for honours.
Bosso's last league title came just over a decade ago under the guidance of former player Methembe Ndlovu and since then, the Bulawayo giants have had to watch from a distance as smaller and now defunct clubs like Monomotapa, Gunners and Motor Action went on to win titles.
And as if not enough during that same period, their fierce rivals Dynamos have gone on to win a further five league champions while neighbours Chicken Inn went on to clinch their maiden championship in 2015.
Following a somewhat lukewarm season under Dutch coach Erol Akabay who quit the giants citing poor working conditions, Highlanders chose to bring back former player, Madinda Ndlovu, who decided to do away with older players in his bid to bring good old days to the club.
Ndlovu's youngsters fared well in the ZNA Charity Shield beating Chicken Inn 2-1 in the semifinals before humbled by a relatively youthful Dynamos side losing 2-1 in the final.
While their performances in those matches raise a lot of expectations amongst the team's followers, Gumede who is also the club's for chief executive thinks otherwise.
"If I were to be realistic I don't see him (Ndlovu) pulling out a winning league streak," Gumede told Daily News on Sunday.
"The important thing is that he just avoids relegation and keep the same players for next year. I am almost certain that their year is next year, not this year," he said.
While Gumede feels Bosso are on a rebuilding exercise, Ndlovu is on record saying he was not rebuilding but preparing a team that will contest for honours.
Gumede hailed Ndlovu for bringing back at Bosso the youth policy culture.
The former Mochudi Centre Chiefs coach chose to do away with old horses such as Simon Munawa, Eric Mudzingwa, Ralph Matema and Tendai Ngulube among others and opted to promote juniors from the club's division one side, Bosso 90 and their Under 18.
Apart from retaining some bright young prospects like Brian Banda, Charlton Siamalonga, Godfrey Makruse, Ray Lunga, Bosso have also acquired the services of former Hwange and Bulawayo city striker Newman Sianchali.
Also part of the young blood added into the fold is Nigel Makumbe, Munyaradzi Chitambwe and Ben Musaka.
"It is not a new phenomenon, many times I hear people say we are lost because we don't have junior policy. Highlanders has always had without failure under 14, 16 and 18, the fact that some coaches who come there decides to concentrate on the first team has been the biggest undoing of the club and the return of Madinda Ndlovu is a welcome one because he knows he grew up there, he is part and a product of the youth policy and I highly recommend that he sticks to that," said Gumede.
He added: "During his (Ndlovu) time boys were coming from the youth clubs, which unfortunately don't exist anymore but Highlanders as a club has always returned the semblance of respective youths."
Asked about the widely held belief among Bosso supporters that most coaches have failed due to constant interference from the executive where some players are made to play even when they are outside the coach's plan, Gumede chose to differ.
"The coach has absolute control of who plays, we may want as supporters to see the artistry of King Nadolo but if the coach thinks the player is not playing to his instructions, the coach will leave him out.
"It doesn't matter how much noise you make outside. We must respect the choices of the coach. After all if the team loses it's the coach who gets the flak, it's not us on the side-lines," Gumede said.
Bickering, back biting and power struggle has largely been attributed to the team's under performance, but the now retired football administrator has a word of advice to the Bosso executive.
"The team doesn't play well if there is no cohesion in the executive, I can't explain it too, I don't know what really happens. But if there is working together and cohesion, sharing the same views, somehow it transcends to the team. I would advise that they iron out whatever the differences they have so that we have a coherent executive with one vision and one focus."

Barbara Gilman, author of the award-winning Academic Advocacy for Gifted Children: A Parent's Complete Guide , will address how parents of gifted children in school and homeschooling can improve their knowledge of their child's learning requirements for more effective advocacy when the need arises. Funding shortages also raise important questions, such as: How can schools advocate for gifted students with cost-effective programs that do a better job of meeting gifted learning needs? In order to avoid undue stress on the classroom teacher, school personnel may find this a good time to rethink gifted programming with delivery systems that are more recession-proof.
