Indian consortium makes cash offer to revive rare Canadian asbestos mine
MONTREAL - An Indian consortium has made an offer to buy one of Canada's last remaining asbestos mines and extend its life.
The group made a bid last Thursday to purchase the cash-strapped Jeffrey Mine in the Quebec town of Asbestos.
Jeffrey president Bernard Coulombe confirmed Tuesday that he received a pitch, but would not say how much the consortium has put on the table.
"We're looking at (the offer) very seriously and we have one week to respond," Coulombe said in an interview.
"The offer is serious because it was officially presented with a guaranteed deposit."
The 131-year-old Jeffrey mine is one of only two sites in Canada that still extracts the controversial substance, blamed for causing serious health issues, including cancer.
The World Health Organization says asbestos-related diseases cause 90,000 deaths annually around the world.
The Canadian asbestos industry has been heavily criticized for exporting the mineral to developing countries where few, if any, safety measures to limit exposure are followed.
India is one of Canada's biggest asbestos customers.
But supporters of the industry, and its Quebec variety known as chrysotile, argue that it's safe to use as long as it's handled properly.
Coulombe said the deal would give Jeffrey the necessary funds to complete a new underground section of the mine, extending its life for another 25 years.
Breathing new life into the mine would also create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs in the area.
The news is promising for the local mine workers' union, which has also received a copy of the offer.
"I'm optimistic," said union president Normand St-Hilaire, who represents between 600 to 800 workers.
St-Hilaire said the union will meet this Sunday, when details of the proposal will be presented to its members.
But even if the offer is accepted, there are no guarantees it would revive Jeffrey, which is currently under bankruptcy protection.
The Quebec government has yet to decide whether to guarantee a critical $58-million bank loan the company says it needs to restart operations.
Still, the deal would meet one of several conditions the province wants Jeffrey to meet in exchange for its support to secure the financing.
Economic Development Minister Clement Gignac said the mine must find new partners to invest $15 million, which is the balance of the $73-million total needed to reopen the project.
The government also said the mine's customers must agree to adhere to Quebec standards on the safe handling of asbestos.
Gignac also wants an independent firm to ensure the company will be profitable before he backs the loan.
Coulombe's announcement Tuesday comes after he accused Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff of scaring off a would-be investor from China.
He said last summer that he had the investor lined up and willing to inject $40 million, but it backed off after Ignatieff commented on the industry.
Ignatieff has called for a ban on exports of the material. His office immediately expressed skepticism over Coulombe's claim that the Liberal leader's remarks might have torpedoed the deal.
The Conservative government has repeatedly voiced its support for the industry.
In recent months, Canada's asbestos sector has also become the target of a growing international campaign.
Health professionals and anti-asbestos activists from around the world have spoken out against Canadian exports.

Ban on Asbestos is a Must
A study in a peer-reviewed journal had earlier estimated that there could be more than 6,000 workers affected by asbestosis (an untreatable lung ailment) and another 600 suffering at the minimum from asbestosis-related lung cancer in India at present. Occupational cancer from asbestos, the disease caused by emissions at the work place, poses an increasingly serious health problem. But the subject has attracted relatively little attention from industry, labour, public health bodies or the medical profession. Asbestos is one of the single largest sources of occupational cancer. Indian polticians are acting as if they are bonded workers of asbestos industry.

World Trade Center, New York collapsed Thousands of tons of asbestos became airborne.
Back in 1981, there was research coming out that Asbestos was cancer causing and this ad was in rebuttal to that research touting the benefits of using Asbestos. The text over the Twin Towers states, "When the Fire Alarm Went Off, It Took Two Hours to Evacuate New York's World Trade Center." I do not need to remind anyone of the images of September 11th and this ad. The copy below the ad goes on to mention all of the places that Asbestos was used in the World Trade Center. I can not not think of all of the innocent victims in the area that were exposed to all of the dust, smoke and inherent asbestos that was in the air after the buildings collapsed. The cloud of smoke went across the entire city and potentially exposed hundreds of thousands of individuals to asbestos. Hopefully there can be a cure or treatment for Mesothelioma before all of these potential victims are diagnosed.

Apex Court allocates meagre compensation for asbetsos victims
In 1995, the Supreme Court of India fixed Rs 1 lakh compensation amount and identified National Institute of Occupational Health (NIOH) as the final authority to certify asbestosis cases. Compensations are given through the Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC). Two workers in Ahmedabad Electricity Company diagnosed as having asbestosis by NIOH have been compensated by Gujarat High Court. Twenty-five workers in asbestos jointing and packing industry at Mumbai were compensated by the Special medical board of ESIC. The court ruled that the industrial units must maintain a health record of every worker up to a minimum period of 40 years; insure workers under the Employees State Insurance Act or Workmen's Compensation Act and give health coverage to every worker.
Asbestos Victims
Every day estimated 30 deaths in India is under way due to the ongoing trade and use of white asbestos. 'Asbestos' in Greek means 'indestructible'. Greeks called asbestos the 'magic mineral'. Asbestos is a generic term, referring usually to six kinds of naturally occuring mineral fibres. Of these six, three are used more commonly. Chrysotile is the most common, accounts for almost 90 per cent of the asbestos used in the industry, but it is not unusual to encounter Amosite or Crocidolite as well. Though Crocidolite asbestos is banned in India, it can still be found in old insulation material, old ships that come from other countries for wrecking in India. All types of asbestos tend to break into very tiny fibre, almost microscopic. In fact, some of them may be up to 700 times smaller than human hair. Because of their small size, once released into the air, they may stay suspended in the air for hours or even days. Asbestos fibres are virtually indestructible. They are resistant to chemicals and heat, and are very stable in the environment. They do not evaporate into air or dissolve in water, and they do not break down over time. Because of its high durability and with tensile strength asbestos has been widely used inconstruction and insulation materials - it has been used in over 3,000 different products. Where do we use it? In India, asbestos is used in manufacture of pressure and non pressure pipes used for water supply, sewage, irrigation and drainage system in urban and rural areas, asbestos textiles, laminated products, tape, gland packing, packing ropes, brake lining and jointing used in core sector industries such as automobile, heavy equipment, petro-chemicals, nuclear power plants, fertilizers, thermal power plants, transportation, defence.
Dr Nikolai F. Izmerov, Head, Russian Occupational Health Institute, Russia
Vladimir Putin government set up a panel of experts to give an opinion on a possible Russian asbestos ban. The panel's report gave an impassioned defence of asbestos use. Dr Izmerov gave a presentation on "Chrysotile. Russian Experience in Occupational Health" at the International Conference on Chrysotile in Montreal during May 23 - 24, 2006. Russia exported 152, 820 MT of chrysotile asbestos to India in 2006.

Western religions generally counsel against pure anger. In scripture, God is lifted up as one who is "slow to anger." Indeed, being slow to anger is aspired to as a virtue for every living being. Yet there are times when anger serves us well – when it is harnessed to confront society's systemic ills and catalyze change.

setContentView(R.layout.activity_qrtest);

eclipse highlight the layout name "activity_qrtest" with red which means it's not available.
the cosole output:

any suggestions to solve such problem.

A: Check in the Console View if there are any errors in your activity_qrtest.xml file. Most probably your xml is incorrect. Also, try Project|Clean

A: Make sure you are importing YourApplication.R and not Android.R in your activity, they sometimes get mixed up.
Also, are you sure you are calling setContentView from the correct context/activity? Sometimes it helps calling it like this (I can't test this right now, but my memory tells me it works something like this):
((Activity)getApplicationContext()).setContentView(R.layout.mylayout);

Third, to bring together members of the faculty and student body of the institution, as well as other Omicron Delta Kappa members, on a basis of mutual interest, understanding and helpfulness.
In 1976 Austin Peay State University President Robert O. Riggs appointed a committee to found an honorary society recognizing leadership and contributions to campus life. Mildred Deason, director of student life, faculty member Malcolm Glass; and Bonita Wilson, an undergraduate student, began working to establish a local fraternity honoring campus leaders: this organization was called "The Governors Association". The membership of the committee was expanded to include faculty members Diana Brent and Billy Thompson, who volunteered their help. Using rigorous standards of selection, the committee chose seventeen juniors and seniors to be charter members, and be the spring of 1977 the Governors Leadership Society was well established.
From the beginning, the group was aware of the importance of establishing meaningful traditions and ceremonies and of upholding the highest standards. In October of 1978, the Society petitioned Omicron Delta Kappa, national leadership honor society, asking that the Austin Peay group be considered as a prospective circle. Early in 1979 ODK decided in favor of the petition and on May 4, 1979 the Austin Peay State University Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa was installed by national and regional officers and officials. Under the able guidance of the faculty/staff secretary and the leadership of many capable students, officers and members, the Circle has grown and flourished. Traditions and service have become increasingly important as the Circle has grown, and these traditions and the standards they represent have clearly established ODK as one of the most prestigious honorary societies at the university. Today, over 1,500 students, faculty, staff, and community members have been initiated through the Austin Peay State University Circle. Additionally, our Circle has been recognized numerous times with the "Circle of Distinction Award"; one of the highest honors bestowed upon a collegiate Circle by the National Administrative Office, and we have also been named a recipient of the Presidential Award of Excellence, presented to the top circles nationally within Omicron Delta Kappa.
Identify, honor and develop leaders in collegiate and community life.Encourage collaboration among students, faculty, staff and alumni to advance leadership. Promote and publicize our ideals.
Omicron Delta Kappa recognizes and encourages achievement in scholarship; athletics; campus or community service; social and religious activities; campus government; journalism; speech; mass media; and the creative and performing arts.
Applications for the Fall 2018 semester are currently open and will be due on October 17th.


Bhubaneswar: After BJD denying ticket to Kandhamal MP Pratyusha Rajeswari Singh by replacing Rajya Sabha MP Achyuta Samanta, Rajeswari has eyed Nayagarh Assembly segment, which is yet to be declared.
"I want to contest from Nayagarh Assembly constituency even if ticket is denied. I may contest independently or from any other party. But, it is only Nayagarh from where I will fight the poll." she said.
"She further added that a party is important for me. I want to serve the people of Nayagarh", she added.
Notably, former minister Arun Sahoo has been contesting from Nayagarh.


The 2020 Launch continues the legacy of a truly remarkable bike. This bike is still one of the best value priced models in the market, hands down, year after year. Available in Gloss Guinness Black, Matte Dusk Lilac, and Gloss Raw Holographic colorways, the Launch pairs its great color selection with even better components.
The Launch is equipped with both a sealed integrated headset and sealed Mid bottom bracket, which drastically improves performance and virtually eliminates maintenance of these components. Combined with a parts package that includes Kink Stryker forks, Kink Human CC 8.75" bars, and Mission Triumph 3pc tubular chromoly cranks, this bike is a rookies dream.


Filled with perfectly upholstered vintage couches, side boards, coffee tables, colourful prints, lamps, fans and cushions, this place makes you want to max your credit card to refurbish your home.
I recently bought s great lamp from here, I was worried the price tag was going to be ridicule considering how beautiful the store is but it only cost me $40 and it goes perfectly with the scented candle I also bought from there.
The store acts as a semi show room as the owners are furniture restores as well as sellers, they also make a mean coffee too - a lucrative idea which I am sure has paid off because it is impossible to resist walking out without a purchase while waiting for your cappuccino.

Sociology Major (B.A.)
Sociology Minor
https://cola.unh.edu/sociology/program/ba/sociology
Majoring in sociology provides a solid, multifaceted foundation in the liberal arts, including analytical thinking and writing, and skills in collecting and analyzing data. Students learn diverse theoretical approaches to the social world and acquire tools for conducting and understanding social science research. The wide range of substantive areas taught in the UNH Department of Sociology include courses concentrating on family and work; environmental sociology; social policy; inequalities of race, class and gender; criminology, social control and deviant behavior; medical sociology; and religion.
Undergraduate training in sociology is an excellent background for a variety of careers, including the business world, where majors might work in marketing and sales or human resources; government and nonprofit services, where majors might work in education, health services, social welfare or criminal justice; and research. An undergraduate degree in sociology is also excellent preparation for graduate work in law, social work, criminal justice, counseling, public administration, public health, business administration, urban planning or further studies in sociology.
To declare a major in sociology, students must have completed at least one introductory-level sociology course with a grade of C or better. New students who declare the major upon admission to UNH must enroll in SOC 400 Introductory Sociology during their first semester and earn a grade of C to maintain status in the program.
Conjoint minors (allowing double-counting of one or two courses) are available for justice studies; gerontology; American studies; race and ethnic studies; women's and gender studies; and other approved minors. Students also have the opportunity to pursue a second major, including justice studies. Students interested in social work or teaching can develop programs in conjunction with the appropriate departments. The departmental honors program is recommended for students with cumulative grade-point averages over 3.4, and especially for those anticipating graduate study.
Majors must complete a minimum of 40 semester credits in sociology courses with grades of C- or better in each course and a GPA of 2.0 or better in sociology courses.
SOC 400 Introductory Sociology 4
SOC 402 Statistics 4
SOC 599 Sociological Analysis 1 4
SOC 601 Methods of Social Research 2 4
Discovery Program Capstone Requirement:
SOC 611 Sociological Theory 3 4
Select five additional major courses, at least two must be at the 600 or 700 level (upper-level electives) 20
SOC 599 Sociological Analysis must be completed no later than the junior year and is a prerequisite for majors taking 600- and 700-level courses.
Both SOC 402 Statistics and SOC 599 Sociological Analysis are prerequisites for SOC 601 Methods of Social Research.
Complete SOC 611 Sociological Theory during senior year.
SOC 595 Independent Reading and Research can be used to fulfill one lower-level elective or SOC 799 Senior Thesis can be used to fulfill one upper-level elective. Sociology majors may use two major-required courses to satisfy two Discovery category requirements. In addition, SOC 599 Sociological Analysis can be used to satisfy both a major requirement and the Inquiry Discovery requirement. (Statistics courses taken in other disciplines are generally not acceptable as a substitute for SOC 402 Statistics.)
Candidates for a degree must satisfy all of the University Discovery Program requirements in addition to satisfying the requirements of each individual major program. B.A. candidates must also satisfy the foreign language proficiency requirement.
Students interested in majoring in sociology should consult with the chair of the undergraduate committee in the sociology department for guidance. It is the responsibility of all sociology majors to obtain the latest information from the department office.
Sociology Language Requirement
The bachelor of arts degree at the University of New Hampshire requires that students satisfy the foreign language proficiency requirement. The requirement may be met by demonstrating language proficiency equal to a one-year college-level course (401 and 402, 403 and 503, 501 [Latin only], or 503 and above in a spoken language). American Sign Language courses do not meet the foreign language proficiency requirement for sociology majors.
The Department of Sociology requires all students declaring the major after fall 2006 to choose from one of the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Russian and Spanish. Exceptions to this list must be petitioned and approved by the Department of Sociology's Undergraduate Committee and a student's adviser.
Outcome 1: Students will learn to articulate and evaluate how individual biographies are shaped by social structures, social institutions, cultural norms, and multiple of dimensions of social stratification and inequality. (Sociological imagination)
Outcome 2: Students will learn to analyze and evaluate multiple and competing arguments about high-profile social, political, and cultural current events; distinguish between evidence and opinions; and use reason and data to advance an argument. (Critical thinking)
Outcome 3: Students will learn to use, evaluate, and apply classical and contemporary theoretical perspectives to historical and contemporary events. (Sociological theory)
Outcome 4: Students will learn how to generate and interpret qualitative and quantitative data in a value-neutral way. (Data analysis)
Outcome 5: Students will learn how to interpret and evaluate several of the major social science research methodologies, as well as the relationship between research questions and appropriate methods. (Research methods)
Outcome 6: Students will learn to effectively communicate a sociological perspective both in writing and verbally. (Communication skills)
Outcome 7: Students will learn to understand how people of different cultural, racial, ethnic, sex, gender, religious, and political identities interpret the world around them. (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)
Outcome 8: Students will learn to work effectively and respectfully with people of different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. (Collaboration)


Could we get the PA/SF sorting to go low to high as was changed in the Pro game? Been meaning to mention this for awhile. More useful that way.
maybe also in the association team stats, "Advanced Stats", it would be nice if the defensive stats sorted low to high, the offensive are fine high to low.
sometimes i almost wish i played the pro game too so i would know what the hell you and PG are talking about!!!

Many of your coworkers and friends complain about all the x-rays, CT and MRI scans they've received … not to mention being zapped with x-rays at airport security! But here you are, most likely about to get zapped to find out why your sciatica has been bothering you for the past few days. Will an x-ray, MRI or CT scan be absolutely necessary at this point in your painful condition? Believe it or not, even if you have a herniated disc causing sciatica symptoms, you may not need any images at your initial physician's visit!
In the case of lumbar radiculopathy, or sciatica, the physician may have the patient go through a series of movement tests to determine if muscular strength or reflexes have been affected. Unless the pain is severe, or nerve damage is suspected, the physician will most likely hold off on diagnostic imaging and recommend over the counter pain medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, along with careful exercise for several weeks. If the symptoms don't improve or worsen, the physician will likely require x-rays or other diagnostic imaging to determine the next treatment course. Often with sciatica, a herniated disc is the culprit for low back pain and symptoms will improve on their own with time and activity.
The guideline report, published in the October issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology, indicates a purpose for the new guidelines is the improvement of patient care by decreasing the inappropriate use of imaging, prescription medication and unnecessary procedures that are medically invasive. Any development in the forefront of health care that improves the patient's well being and adheres to following conservative approaches to treatment when possible, is always a welcome bit of news.

British government plans to cut £4 billion (US$5.5bn) from aid budget sparks protests from philanthropists and politicians
Civil society activists who joined forces with opposition MPs and Conservative rebels to force a parliamentary vote on 13 July on the British government's plan to cut its international aid budget by £4bn may now be able to secure concessions.
In the latest move in the campaign, the big philanthropic organisations – such as George Soros's Open Society Foundation and the Gates Foundation – say the cuts could put tens of thousands of lives at risk and are pledging about £100m to replace the lost British government aid if needed.
Pressing Boris Johnson's government into holding a vote is one thing, but defeating it would require the biggest Conservative party rebellion since the December 2019 general election. Some government insiders are talking up the prospect of a compromise deal to defuse the rebellion.
Should enough Conservative rebels, led by former International Development secretary Andrew Mitchell, combine with opposition lawmakers to defeat Johnson's government, ministers say that aid spending will revert to 0.7% of gross national income next year.
The move to cut the aid budget to 0.5% of GNI, worth around £4 billion, was instigated last year by Chancellor Rishi Sunak to compensate for the budget deficit left by more than £300bn of new domestic spending in response to the Covid–19 pandemic (AC Vol 62 No 4, Far from obvious).
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government is proposing to link increases in aid spending to two conditions: a fall in public debt and UK public accounts being in surplus for a sustained period. It is also asking the independent Office for Budget Responsibility to advise on whether the aid budget should be increased.

Outsourcing IT is becoming an increasingly popular way for companies to scale their businesses without hiring full-time staff. According to Statista's Global Outsourcing Market Size report, outsourcing amounted to $85.6 billion USD worldwide in 2018.
Staff augmentation is a strategy used by companies to bridge the technology skills gaps in their workforce. Qualified external workers are brought in-house to work alongside existing full-time development staff.
Increased Control Over Projects. Companies with augmented staff generally have more control over their development project. IT Augmentation enables organizations to train external teams to work in line with existing processes. Having everyone under the same roof ensures complete visibility and lets companies monitor projects in real-time, enabling them to guide workflows effectively.
Reduced Staffing Costs. With staff augmentation, companies can reduce the costs and expenses associated with recruiting full-time staff. Hiring a temporary team is much more cost-effective than hiring full-time developers. There's no need to commit to full-time salaries, pension contributions, health care, holidays, sick leave and other expenses associated with permanent teams. With a freed-up budget, funds can be channeled into other core areas of the business.
Enhanced Flexibility. Augmentation allows companies to be flexible. For example, a business may need to ramp up its IT support in the summer months due to staff holidays but cut back over winter when resources are more freely available. If a large development project surfaces, companies have immediate access to the skills and expertise they require.
Internal Skills Gaps Remain. Occasionally, companies can become too reliant on IT staff augmentation. It can become too convenient to lean on skilled external staff as an alternative to training an in-house team. Permanent team members can often feel that their skills aren't progressing if management gets into the habit of commissioning contractors at every turn.
Projects Can be More Difficult to Manage. The bigger the in-house team, the more challenging a project can be to manage. Augmented staff often aren't aware of a company's underlying principles and may be used to different workflow processes. This can make it challenging to monitor quality assurance and individual responsibilities. A largely augmented team can also result in high-cost billable hours, which makes it difficult to determine who is adding value to the project.
What Are IT Delivery Team Services?
A delivery team service is when an outsourced provider takes responsibility for all, or part of a project and makes commitments that augmented providers typically don't.
Reduces Project Risk. IT outsourcing partners help reduce risks. A good outsourcing team will ensure that companies are compliant with all relevant regulations. They will identify any potential risks and implement a robust cybersecurity strategy. Microsoft Store's Small Business Insights Survey revealed that 70% of small businesses would prefer to pay for support in matters of cybersecurity than do it themselves.
More Defined Outcomes. An experienced IT delivery team will work towards defined outcomes. Every project needs to have a clear set of objectives and goals with a robust workflow in place to achieve them.
Project Commitment. Delivery teams are accountable for meeting the service commitment and sharing the risks associated with the project. As such, they're completely focused on delivering on the goals set by the client.
Deferred Control. Companies need to relinquish a degree of control over development projects when they choose to outsource to a delivery team provider. Having less control can make it more difficult for clients to retain oversight on progress, which can have a knock-on effect on the success of a project. According to SourceSeek's 2017 Global Software Services Report, 12% of development projects fail due to a lack of communication.
In saying this, an experienced delivery team will have project management tools and robust processes in place to ensure that the client is provided with regular updates on progress.
Potential Downtime. With delivery teams, downtime is sometimes to be expected. Unlike augmented teams, delivery model providers are less likely to be able to fix an issue or make changes straight away. If external development teams are on different time zones, for example, there can be a delay in making updates or fixing bugs. Periods of downtime are more common when the delivery team is based offshore, although some do offer 24-hour support.

Should King's Cross Have An Apostrophe?
By M@ Last edited 62 months ago
M@ Should King's Cross Have An Apostrophe?
King's Cross, or Kings Cross? Let's take a look at the evidence...
Wikipedia contradicts itself right from the start. Kings in the title, King's in the first line...and then a mixture throughout. Useless.
The Wikipedia discussion area appears to shed more light. "There is no apostrophe in Kings Cross," asserts the very first line. Unfortunately, the supporting reference doesn't load, and most of the subsequent commentary dates from 2002. Balls.
One fact we can rely upon: the mainline station and the underground station both adopt the apostrophe in all official signage (here, for example). But this has only been the case since 1951, before which the station was simply Kings Cross.
Meanwhile, the current A-Z resolutely applies an apostrophe to the area, King's Cross Road and the station, while our battered 1975 copy of the Nicholson Street Finder leaves the punctuation out. Google Maps hedges its bets by offering the two alternatives simultaneously.
Examples of both appellations are also readily found on Camden Council's website, with search results favouring without (2270 instances) to with (1250) – although we can't be sure how sensitive their search engine is to punctuation. The preference is echoed at City Hall, with 373 search results including an apostrophe, and 519 leaving it out.
Meanwhile, the King's Cross Central site – the web home for the major redevelopment of the King's Cross rail lands – emphatically sports a crimson apostrophe in contrast to its otherwise black lettering. Their new road, King's Boulevard, reaffirms this dedication to the mark. Party-pooping Kings Place demurs from the sidelines.
The simple truth is that there is no 'official' stance on the name. Or, if there is, no one pays any attention. While apostrophes are often crucial in written language, they are less important to place names. No one reads 'Kings Cross' and assumes that multiple monarchs must be crossing the street. It's a label and nothing more. If you need a rule, try using an apostrophe when talking about the stations and no apostrophe when describing the area. It makes no sense, but that's often the case with rules.
In fact, the only way we can definitively answer our titular question is to apply it to the popular patisserie chain Apostrophe, in which case, the answer is 'yes' – they do excellent sandwiches and deserve a shop closer to the station than the branch at the Brunswick Centre.
We could expand this piece to discuss the situation elsewhere in London – just taking Tube stations, we have Earl's Court, Queen's Park, Regent's Park, Shepherd's Bush, St John's Wood, St Paul's, and the slightly different case of St James's Park. All offer similar scope for scrutiny. Indeed, most have toyed with apostrophe-free periods, as this article details (PDF). But we'll leave it there for now, and open out discussion in the comments below.

Thandi Tshabalala (born 19 November 1984 in Welkom, Orange Free State) is a South African cricketer who plays first-class cricket for the Eagles as a specialist off spinner. He was first called up to the South African team in February 2006, as he made the squad for their Twenty20 International against Australia, but did not play. In July, he was again selected, this time in a 14-man squad to tour Sri Lanka, but was not picked for the final eleven in the first Test. UCBSA chief of selectors, Haroon Lorgat, said it was "very unlikely that he [would] play in the first Test." and that he was there to "gain exposure and experience."
Tshabalala has won two Man of the Match awards in his 52 official matches for Eagles and Free State, both in limited overs games. The first was in the opening match of the 2004–05 Pro20 series, where the Eagles beat the Dolphins by 70 runs and Tshabalala took two wickets, both bowled, and ran out Hashim Amla; the second was in the final Standard Bank Cup game of the 2005–06 season, where Tshabalala took four for 24 in nine overs as the Eagles defended 225. The Eagles made it through to the knock-outs, and won the tournament, with Tshabalala providing a similarly economical spell (9–0–24–2) in the final, where the Eagles beat the Titans after bowling them out for 142 in 42.3 overs.

Example: The outer dimensions of a closed wooden box are 6 cm by 4 cm by 3 cm. Thickness of the wood is 1 cm. Find the total cost of wood required to make box if 1 cm3 of wood cost Rs. 2.00.
Solution: The external dimension of the box are : Length = 6 cm, Breadth = 4 cm, Height = 3 cm.
Thickness of the wood = 1 cm.
Hence, total cost of wood required to make box = Rs. (64 x 2) = Rs. 128.

While you can always curl up with your favorite action or horror film, why not watch a documentary and learn more? Documentary films can pull at your heartstrings, leave you afraid to peek under your bed and teach you more about subjects you never learned about in school. Many of the best films are now available through streaming services like Netflix, but you'll also find copies at Redbox, in rental stores and even posted online. The next time to decide to stay inside, try popping in one of the best documentary films.
Kurt Kuenne started making the film Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father after his best friend Andrew Bagby learned he was about to become a father. Though he and the child's mother were no longer together at the time, Bagby looked forward to spending time with his son. The documentary takes on a sober feel after you learn that his ex-girlfriend murdered him and later stood trial for his murder. As the film unfolds, you'll find yourself crying, shouting at the justice system and praying for his family.
The Imposter often makes the list of the top documentary films because the movie is so strange and complex. Nicholas Barclay was a teenager who mysteriously went missing in Texas. Years later, law enforcement officials contacted his family with the news that they found the missing boy. They accepted him into their home and claimed he was their son until the truth eventually came out that the young man was a con artist by the name of Frederic Bourdin. Bourdin speaks to the camera about the odd family and his believe that they know what happened to their missing relative, and you just may find yourself believing him.
Released in 2012, The Queen of Versailles is a memorable and occasionally funny movie that looks at the recession from the eyes of a wealthy family. The Siegel family, who serve at the center of the documentary, made their money in the hotel and timeshare industry and had plans to build the largest private home in the world. When the recession hit, they learned that cutting back was necessary but have different ideas as to what this means.
After looking at IMDB pages and websites about HGTV shows and personalities like the Jason Hanold profile and profiles of Chip Gaines and Drew Scott, you might wonder what life is like for those just out of the spotlight. The documentary film, 20 Feet from Stardom, lets you see what life is like for some of the most famous backup singers in history. You'll hear behind the scenes stories directly from their mouths and see how close they came to fame of their own. With these amazing documentaries, you can spend an entire day crying, laughing and celebrating the lives of those on screen.


This weekend I read a report about a 12-year old child who had been rendered paraplegic by a Maryland police officer en route to a non-emergency. The driver was going twice the speed limit for the particular road, when the child ran across the street. The driver was convicted of speeding. The case settled for $400,000, the limit Maryland law imposes on such cases.
This is a good example of an arbitrary damage cap imposed by the state legislature (Virginia has the same concept) for wrongful conduct compensation. The District of Columbia has no such arbitrary limit. These limits are the result of lobbying from various factions, including insurance companies and medical societies, and the failure of the legislatures to examine the underlying facts.
The result of this sort of arbitrary cap is shifting the responsibility of life long care from the wrongdoer to the victim. This child is going to wind up supported by the taxpayers when his settlement money runs out. Similarly, we saw a March on Richmond, where a bunch of doctors in their white coats demonstrated for limits on damages in medical malpratice cases. The reason their malpractice insurance premiums have increased so much is due to the stock market, not out of control juries. Despite this, the legislators pander to their contributors and impose these limits. If you lose the lottery of life and are injured by a wrongdoer through no fault of your own, you may be denied the amount the jury, who heard all of the evidence, believes you deserve. It's sad but true.

Surface kelp canopies at the time of survey at San Nicolas Island were estimated to be below normal near shore off the western end of the island and about normal elsewhere. The northern range was not calculated because of limitations in survey resources required to survey areas north of the range from the previous year (2018); however, the southern range expanded slightly by 0.5 kilometer, where a negligible trend in sea otter counts (0.55 percent growth per year) corresponded to the lack of meaningful population range expansion at the southern periphery. The population decline likely began in the mid-1980s and declined at a rate of 17.5%/year in the 1990s.
