Middle school is the period in a student's life that takes place after primary school and before high school.
We are born with basic survival skills, reflexes and most of the 100 billion neurons that you'll have for the duration of your life.
The teaching-learning process is an inherently social act, and as instructors we need to be mindful of the quality of the social and emotional dynamics in our course, because they impact learning and performance.
What is important about IGCSE?
It would seem a strange statement to say that "Brain Based Learning" is an important strategy to employ when teaching children.

Home Opinion Entertainment Review: Nia DaCosta's 'Candyman' is everything a sequel should be
Review: Nia DaCosta's 'Candyman' is everything a sequel should be
Grace Miller
Nia DaCosta's "Candyman" does an incredible job of encompassing the essence of the original film and adding a fresh perspective to some of the issues brought up in Rose's "Candyman."
Content warning: This film is rated R and contains some disturbing content, including violence, blood, some language and sexual references. This review contains major spoilers for the plot.
From Star Wars to the Jaws franchise, avid filmgoers know that sequels are almost always less captivating or well-made than the originals.
That is, almost always.
Nia DaCosta's "Candyman," released on Aug. 27, challenges the stereotype of the horrendous sequel, cleverly expanding on the storyline of the Bernard Rose's 1992 film and updating it for current social dialogue while still capturing the essence of the original and conveying a moving and surprisingly empowering message for being a horror film.
DaCosta's "Candyman" follows Anthony (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), a visual artist from the Cabrini-Green neighborhood in Chicago. He draws inspiration from the urban legend of "Candyman," who offers candy to children and then murders them with his hooked hand. If someone chants his name five times in front of a mirror, Candyman appears and kills them. Anthony becomes infatuated with Candyman, creating increasingly disturbing art until he eventually embodies Candyman himself.
New characters are introduced in addition to returning actors from Rose's "Candyman," since the story takes place 27 years after the original film. In the sequel, Anthony is deeply connected to Cabrini-Green, as he discovers that he was born there; as a baby, he was a major plot point in the legend of Candyman that Rose explored.
Among the issues DaCosta's "Candyman" addresses are the gentrification of majority Black and low-income neighborhoods by the wealthy and the insidious effects of racial profiling, especially racially motivated violence against Black men by law enforcement. While these themes appear in Rose's "Candyman," as well as the Clive Barker story which inspired both films, "The Forbidden," DaCosta explores the complex and often exploitative relationship between the art world and Black artists.
Anthony's work is displayed at a gallery curated by his girlfriend, Brianna (Teyonah Parris). The gallery owner chastises Brianna for choosing her boyfriend's piece, despite the owner's approval of Anthony's previous work that explicitly discussed racism. The gallery director suggests that Anthony should pull inspiration from his experiences, implying that the art world only values him when he showcases Black suffering for the approval and profit of "woke" white people.
Candyman, being a Black man who was unjustly and brutally murdered, returns when summoned to protect and avenge Black lives. When a police officer threatens Brianna with jail if she doesn't say that an officer killed Anthony in self-defense, she summons Candyman in the police car's rear-view mirror, and he slays all the officers detaining her.
In this scene, one shot follows Candyman's reflection in the car windows as his physical appearance morphs from Anthony to Todd's character and the original Candyman, Daniel Robitaille. This scene evokes the many unjust killings of Black men by law enforcement that have traumatized American culture both in recent years and throughout history.
This parallel intensifies the urban legend aspects of Candyman, symbolizes the seemingly endless cycle of Black suffering in America and satisfies the need for justice. Candyman becomes immortalized through his own victimization, and the cycle continues in this installment as Anthony is murdered, only to transform into Candyman and protect Brianna.
The modern intersectionality between art, community, race, cycles of victimization and the collective consciousness are explored in DaCosta's "Candyman," while maintaining a spark of nostalgia for the original film and the eerie, disturbing atmosphere of the horror genre. Rather than jumpscares and chases, DaCosta utilizes slow-burn body horror, unsettling background noises, and mirror shots to build tension, emphasize the feeling of being watched and establish Anthony's descent into paranoia.
DaCosta's film is co-written with Win Rosenfeld and acclaimed director Jordan Peele, who also produced the film. "Candyman" reached No. 1 in the U.S. box office during its opening weekend, marking a notable achievement for DaCosta, who is the first Black female director to reach the No. 1 spot with a debut film.
DaCosta's "Candyman" does an incredible job of encompassing the essence of the original film and adding a fresh perspective to some of the issues brought up in Rose's "Candyman," while staying true to the horror genre and showcasing the brilliant acting of Abdul-Mateen II and Parris. I am excited to see more from DaCosta in the future, and more well-made sequels to modern classics.

there are things in life sometimes that are a mash up of a-little-bit-sad and a-little-bit-sweet but mostly-first-and-foremost very very important.
i've had quite a lot of these things in my life over the past few years. something that perhaps is natural and comes most often with this whole being a twenty-something.
but it's most interesting to me now to look back on the sad things and see the sweetness in them.
and vice versa with sweet things that have a little bit of sadness in them.
but realizing the correlation between both of these kinds of moments is their importance.
their importance in the lessons they taught me. in the becoming they allowed me. in the places they took me. in the people i met in them. they all, in their altogether mutual-sad-sweetness are important.
and they add to the make-up of me and who i am.
i suppose the word for it is bittersweet.

In this blog, originally posted by the American Counseling Association, professor Christine Yeh identifies and discusses six specific ways to focus and strategize in your fight against injustices.
Since the inauguration, I have spoken to many colleagues and students who feel overwhelmed by the number of troubling and complicated issues emerging with the new Presidential administration. From the confirmation of Betsy DeVos for Education Secretary to the reinstatement of the Dakota Access Pipeline, there are clearly many injustices that must be fought. I have spent some time thinking about how to prioritize, strategize and focus and wanted to share some thoughts that I have gathered from a variety of sources. My full list is much longer but I will begin with 6 ideas.
It is easy to be inundated with real and fake news stories these days and sorting through the onslaught of social media newsfeeds and headlines can be both daunting and time consuming. Try to select a few trusted sources, rather than read everything that comes your way. I subscribe to NPR, New York Times, Huffington Post, and Washington Post and focus primarily on these sources. But I also have several specialized newsfeeds related to immigration rights, public education, the arts, and psychology that I also turn to for more detailed accounts. I also try to limit my engagement with social media to 2-3 tweets and Facebook posts a day, which allows me to keep informed and still connected with friends, without getting too much information. If you see something on social media that seems especially inflammatory (hard to tell these days), do your fact checking and always verify the information from the original source.
Since we cannot fight all battles, I also believe in donating (in any amount) to several key organizations that have a demonstrated record of collectivizing supporters and using their resources to pursue key initiatives, policies, petitions, and lawsuits that are aligned with social justice efforts. For example, I supported the American Civil Liberties Union lawsuits and petitions which protested the confirmation of Sessions for Attorney General and the proposed Muslim travel ban. I also support the Southern Poverty Law Center's work for LGBTQ rights, advocacy, and training. Of course, there are many other local and national organizations that are doing important work and many of these are specific to a particular cause. Do your research and ask around to see which organizations may best support your cause. If you can't afford to donate right now, there are also many ways to donate time as a volunteer.
Many news reports have emerged that have highlighted which companies and businesses support or do not support different issues that directly and indirectly impact the proliferation of injustice. For example, Wells Fargo has been funding the Dakota Access Pipeline construction and the CEO of New Balance has been fund raising for Trump and the Trump family. I found a good list here that is continually updated. Of course many business connections are not so clear cut for some. For example, there are large department stores such as discount store, Ross, that sells the Ivanka Trump clothing line. Does the daughter's clothing line also get boycotted? For me Trump has already demonstrated that his family businesses are at the core his own branding and success and further his own interests. This is especially problematic given Trump's Top Advisor, Kellyanne Conway, publicly urged folks to "Go buy Ivanka's stuff!" so I believe it is important to let retailers know that how and who they profit does matter.
There are many ways to be activist and to make a contribution so spend some time thinking about your strengths and capacities. Some of the most important social movements in history (such as the civil rights movement) have emerged due to our right to share our voices and fight for equity. This can take many forms. For example, signing and sharing petitions can be very effective, especially if you get large organizations (such as unions, universities, cultural organizations, etc.,) to back them. Making phone calls is also a very powerful way to share your perspective with elected officials and only take a few minutes a day. You can also volunteer to be a first responder to immigration raids targeting businesses and homes. I also strongly believe in the power of large protests and marches. For example, the CEO of Uber backed down from the Trump advisory council after just one day of strong protests in San Francisco and a viral #deleteuber campaign. He instead decided to donate 3 million dollars to support drivers impacted by Trump's efforts to enforce a Muslim travel ban. I recently met a woman who felt very motivated to help but did not know how to use her skills as a busy doctor to further this work. She decided she could host meetings at her house, buy supplies (such as materials) to make signs for protests, support important organizations that are experiencing dramatic cuts federal funding (such as the arts, the environment, and public radio), and bring food to different events. She doesn't identify as an activist but has found ways to support causes she cares about locally.
I know that I don't have the emotional capacity to fight all the battles I care about but we can focus on the ones that we feel most passionately about while continuing to learn about targeted communities who are most impacted by the new administration. It is also important to consider how to use our unique skill sets as counselors and educators to address injustices as they continue to emerge. I've learned to focus on primarily being a scholar activist while also engaging in other forms of activism. Some areas to focus on may include (but are not limited to); conducting research to provide evidence to support your cause, scholarly writing (blog and op-ed pieces that spread the word about an issue), sharing petitions, providing and supporting others, doing trainings for allies, educational workshops, or community organizing. Find colleagues who share your passions and build on each other's unique skill sets to meaningfully collectivize around an important cause.
Through all of this, remember to take breaks to care for yourself and those around you. If you have children or work with young people, it is important to meaningfully engage them in this process as well. It is also critical to establish short and long term goals and to continually assess resources around you. As the past month has revealed, it is hard to predict what new issues will emerge each day. Try to stay grounded, balance your personal and professional priorities, and focus on what really matters. Spend some time realistically setting aside time for the work you hope to do and schedule when you will do it. It may sound ridiculous but I created a schedule for myself to insure I do something each day. For example, this may mean reading news reports and engaging in limited social media in the morning, midday and evening. Making 10 minutes of phone calls in the morning to elected officials, using meals or coffee to hold strategy sessions or conference calls with colleagues, and reviewing petitions and scheduled protests or meetings at night. Try to develop long term goals in partnership with targeted communities, organizations, and colleagues. This may include writing a policy brief, developing ideas for op-eds, offering free counseling and support groups, or planning events to support public (versus charter or private) schools.
In all of this work, I have been most inspired when I am working in solidarity with colleagues and friends with a shared vision for equity.


An ultra-simple side that's a great compliment to just about any protein dish!
The lake wild rice (Zizania palustris) grows naturally on the lakes and riverbeds in Minnesota on more acres than any other state in the country. In Northern Minnesota its hand-harvested from canoes by the Ojibwe people in reservation waters. As you might guess, the wild rice grown there has been an important social and cultural component for the Native American tribes and rural Minnesota communities.
I was first introduced to Minnesota lake-harvested wild rice early on in my marriage when my brother-in-law, who was then living in Minnesota, gifted me a small bag of the edible grown grain.
Considered a gift from the Creator, lake wild rice grain has been a center of the Ojibwe diet and culture for centuries. According to legend, the Ojibwe followed a prophecy to find the place where the food grows on the water, which was around Lake Superior, particularly in Minnesota.
Reaped from the northern aquatic grass that bears a resemblance to the grain, the lake rice was "tamed" during the 1960s when scientists and businessmen made it into an industry. As the story goes, these men began growing the rice in paddies and planting and harvesting it by machine. During the cultivation process of the paddy grown "wild rice," they changed the rice by making it uniform in size and almost black in appearance.
The two look and taste completely different!
After cooking with both types of wild rice my preference is for the nutty, earthy grain of the natural lake hand-harvested and smoke parched wild rice. It's an instant treat to include in your cooking. You'll notice that the grain of the lake wild rice looks irregular and is light-brown in color. The rice has a delicious natural nutty aroma even before it's cooked, and the taste delivers a deliciously rich, nutty flavor and enjoyable texture. It cooks up quickly, usually in just 15 to 20 minutes, making it an easy addition for just about any meal.
In comparison, you'll find that the mass-produced paddy rice is much darker than natural-grown lake wild rice. It takes considerably longer to cook, and I've found that the rice is not as fluffy after cooking. Many consumers describe the taste as rather bland. I would agree. Cooking times vary depending on the heat it is cooked at, the moisture content of the rice, how it was parched, and your personal preference in chewiness. Another difference is that in most industry operations herbicides are commonly used in spraying rice paddies. On a positive note, if you're on a tight budget, the paddy grown variety is a little easier on your pocketbook.
Most of my wild rice knowledge (about both grown types) was learned years after my first introduction to the grain, during a sales trip to northern Minnesota.
Being my first sales ride-along to the northern part of the state, I didn't realize the distance between the small towns and businesses on our list of stops for the day. Despite the miles, the morning went by quickly. Mostly small talk about how to use the garnishes (the products I sold) in drinks and how to up-sell the distributor's customers so we all could make money. Our day's agenda was pretty much by the book, C-stores in the morning, liquor stores, bar-cafés and restaurants in the afternoon.
It was a little past the lunch-hour when my distribution manager suggested that we stop to grab a bite. We barely made it through the front door of the log cabin style bar-café when I spied a bag of wild rice on the counter that looked just like the kind I had been introduced to years before by my brother-in-law. Of course, I had to buy it. Little did I suspect that my purchase would spark a whole afternoon of wild rice conversation.
Through lunch and between our afternoon stops, I became the student, learning a great deal about Minnesota lake wild rice versus the Minnesota-grown mass-cultivated variety. The story and history of both are fascinating. From the legend and spirituality of it for the Ojibwe to the labor-intensive hulling and sorting of the natural grain (called winnowing), and wood parching to dry the lake rice leaving it moist, fast cooking, and deliciously flavorful.
I learned about how "cultivated" is considered a swear word on the reservation. How, as in other types of farming and harvesting, inclement weather can affect the crops. We talked about the wild lake rice being a source of income for the people on the reservation, surrounding communities, and how the cheaper paddy rice has dropped the price.
After that trip, I came away with a much greater appreciation for the hand-harvested lake wild rice that had been introduced to me years before. And, in years since, my learnings about it has even given me a greater appreciation for other types of food as well. It taught me to continually question how foods I prepare for my family are grown, how they're harvested, and the production methods they go through before we eat them.
Among my favorite ingredients to pair with lake wild rice at our house is cranberries and kale.
Before I get to the recipe, let me just say that for years I overlooked kale as a vegetable to include in my family's diet. For some odd reason, I had always thought of it as a strong-flavored vegetable without a lot of possibilities. Boy was I wrong!
The trick to eating the most flavorful kale is in learning how to choose it.
This ultra-simple side is a great compliment to just about any protein dish. From fish, chicken, pork or beef, I've found it to be a healthy and delicious blend of ingredients that's popular at our table. The combination of the nutty wild rice with the sweetness of the cranberries and kale, dinner doesn't get much better!
¼ Cup Dried Cranberries Rehydrated with 3 Tablespoons Apple Juice.
Soften and rehydrate the cranberries in apple juice until ready to use.
Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and the onions and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until softened and the onions are beginning to turn translucent.
Add the cranberries and the kale; sauté for about 5 minutes more.
Add the cooked and rinsed wild rice. Stir into the cranberry, onion and kale mixture. Salt and pepper to taste; sauté 5 to 6 minutes more.
Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
This recipe can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving.
* 1 cup of uncooked wild rice will yield approximately 3 to 4 cups cooked rice. The recommended rice to water ratio is approximately 2 to 1 or I've found that instead of measuring I'll simply cover the rice by about 1-inch of water before beginning to simmer. To shorten the cooking time, you can cover the rice with a generous amount of water and soak overnight. After the rice has cooked to desired doneness, rinse and cool completely before adding to the recipe.

De-radicalization is really about a process moving toward disengagement. Academic research supports that changing what is in someone's head is difficult and may be impossible, as it isn't something we can "see, feel, taste" -- but their actions are. Disengagement means the bias present within the individual is something they have moved away from, and that should be our goal.
A symposium was held on radicalization of youth held Feb. 9 to 12, 2016, sponsored by the Canadian embassy in Australia and Griffith University, held at their campus in Brisbane.
In an effort to share experience, current and best practices, academic, operational and policy/political experience, the invitation list was extensive. Having expertise shared from Canada, Australia, United Kingdom as well as the Middle East saw agreement in a number of areas but as well saw extensive and healthy debate and disagreement throughout the dialogue(s).
It became clear during the dialogue that building resilience against terrorism is a clear goal of governments facing the home-grown threat. It was identified by government and non-governmental representatives at the conference that both Canada and Australia are directing their attention at the "at risk" targets in their countries.
Whether it is the Extreme Dialogue program funded by Public Safety Canada or Living Safer Together and Countering Violent Extremism initiatives by the Australian government, both countries recognize the threat and the need to be proactive.
The group assembled agreed that Chatham House rule would be the order of the day, so participants would be open to discussing the issues without attribution or retribution.The continuous attacks against the Islamic faith/religion was and is negatively impacting on the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims. Also apparent that there is a new level of importance placed on the need for calm dialogue as we manage the concern surrounding youth becoming engaged with radicalization.
The head of the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO), Duncan Lewis has identified concerns surrounding the rhetoric of some politicians and it resulted in his speaking to two MPs in an effort to "educate" them, as acknowledged by the Australian prime minister, which mirror concerns raised by many at the conference.
A Senate Committee meeting in Canada in February 2015 generated a discussion between Canadian legislators and Muslim leaders identifying similar concerns that the actions of a few, was impacting on the many. The head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) stated while appearing before a Senate Committee on March 7, 2016, that there are 300 plus or minus radicalized individuals in Canada, as well as 180 Canadians acting with ISIS overseas presently.
Not all are Muslim, and if they were, with a population of 1.3 million Muslims in Canada we can see that means .03 per cent are engaged in this activity. A remarkable number in reality, but clearly not representative of the Muslim population.
The mislaid attention at the feet of the Islamic faith as the foundation of the ISIS-driven hatred is destined to split countries such as Canada and Australia, if allowed. That will be a success for ISIS as they don't care what non-Muslims think about Muslims, they don't represent the Muslim interests at all, just hatred and the violence they can bring through their actions.
Peter Hartcher, international editor for the Sydney Morning Herald, spoke to this and identified that ISIS has a goal of driving fear and separating segments of society through that fear. It has been identified by many that ISIS has no connection or concern about the Islamic religion.
Didier Francois, a French journalist who was held for 10 months by ISIS, stated that discussion among captors was about politics, and never Islam or the Quran. Participants in the conference, particularly those who have been engaged with those who have been radicalized, also stated that in discussion those engaged focused on government policy and political decisions, not religion.
An area of discussion and interest was the difference between de-radicalization and dis-engagement. Particularly that we must assist in having those radicalized disengage, as most who are radicalized never engage in an illegal or terrorist activity.
Research conducted by John Horgan, published in Perspectives on Terrorism in 2008, identified that the need for disengagement must be the focus, as that is where success is found.
The article points to the fact criminologists have looked at this as well, and it is the only thing we can truly measure.
The Middle East Institute identified that de-radicalization is really about a process moving toward disengagement.
Those at the symposium, as well as academic research, support that changing what is in someone's head is difficult and may be impossible, as it isn't something we can "see, feel, taste" -- but their actions are. Disengagement means the bias present within the individual is something they have moved away from, and that should be our goal.
A problem raised during the symposium identified that we have focused our attention when there are arrest, charges and convictions. But is that what the public wants? Of course not, as that means there have been crimes committed and no one wants more crime.
The concern raised in Brisbane surrounded the laws being put in place, but as well the calls from some politicians for action. It is understandable that when you spend taxpayer dollars, in Australia and Canada, on something specific you expect to see results.
The challenge is that a successful intervention from Canada and Australia's police agencies, security agencies and their partners will lead to no arrests, no charges and no convictions, as the alternative is that we have more terrorist acts.
No one is naive in thinking that we will not have charges, but we shouldn't complain when those representing our country's security interests are successfully utilized and cause those radicalized to disengage.
Having been a police officer for 32 years, I have yet to meet a member of the public who wants more arrests; they want to live in a safer community, free from fear.
I believe that our collective success in fighting terror will see engagement with those communities targeted by radicalizers to collectively bring them to justice, and the assertion of every tool we have to bring youth who are being radicalized to a place of disengagement, thereby making all of us safer.

Online baby-care products retailer, Firstcry.com has announced that it plans to increase its number of offline franchise stores to 100 by setting up 30 new stores by end of 2014. The company claims it will set up 400 stores by December 2017. Firstcry founder and CEO Supam Maheshwari said that they plan to enter untapped markets where presence of physical baby products stores are low.
The company had mentioned plans to increase its offline presence in the country in January this year, when it secured $15 million funding from Temasek's investment arm Vertex Venture Holdings, and existing investors SAIF Partners and IDG Ventures.
The Pune-based company claims to have over 70,000 products from more than 400 Indian and international brands. In August 2013 the company launched a subscription service on its portal for products like diapers.
Mumbai-based baby products-focused flash sales site Hopscotch, which raised $2 million funding from the Singapore-based LionRock Capital and some angel investors in February 2014, acquired online school and educational supplies store SkoolShop in May 2014. Increasing customer base and getting access to a larger vendor base were the primary reasons for the acquisition.
In April 2013, BabyOye.com had acquired Bangalore-based Hoopos, and the merged entity raised $12 million in funding from Helion Venture Partners, Accel Partners and Tiger Global.
Firstcry isn't the first e-commerce company to open offline stores. In August 2013, online healthcare and fitness store HealthKart has launched its second offline store in Chandigarh. It's first store is in Delhi NCR. CEO of HealthKart Sameer Maheshwari told Medianama that return on investment from the offline stores would be higher since the average ticket size would be higher.
Online eyewear retailer Lenskart is trying out a different approach. Earlier this year the company announced plans sell its products on other e-commerce websites.


A large number of my readership and clients are Disabled Veterans who are becoming informed about the differences between Social Security Disability and Veterans Service-Connected Disability. I have started another blog especially for the Veteran population at http://veteranaid.blogspot.com, where I will begin to offer information about this related and very complex process. One major difference between VA Service Connected Disability and Social Security Disability is that unlike Social Security Disability which is an "all-or-none" undertaking, there are varying degrees of Veterans Disability. These levels are expressed by diagnoses as percentages, which are then combined to create a composite disability rating that is then used to determine compensation.
A common concern that I hear from my clients is about the math that is employed when creating a composite disability percentage rating. The reason for much of this confusion centers on disability percentages not being added together, but rather applied sequentially to the residual capacity that the Veteran retains. The law that governs the calculations of these numbers may be found in the Code of Federal Regulations at 38 CFR 4.25.
I have also created a tool that may of of use when calculating or simulating various disability percentages. Click the blue link to use my online Disability and Bilateral Percentage Calculators. This tool is still in development, and is not a substitute for legal advice, so I would appreciate any feedback or compatibility issues you may have.
This blog, and the information herein is for informational purposes only, and should not be relied upon as legal advice. For more information about your particular situation, please contact Disability Attorney Thomas C. O'Brien.
I am pretty familiar with SSD, but not familiar with VA. Is VA funded by the federal government as well?
The short answer is yes, but the nature of how it is funded is somewhat different. While Social Security a mandatory spending program funded by payroll taxes, the VA is a government run cabinet-level program headed by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. The VA has a much smaller budget than Social Security, but represents the second largest department of the U.S. Government after the Department of Defense.
Thanks. Hope these things will help several peoples.
Thanks for the share the brief info about VA. I think It helps many peoples.

Mumbai's five-star hotel receives hoax bomb threat; caller demands Rs 5 crore to diffuse explosives
This threat call was received just days after the city police had received a 26/11-like terrorist attack threat from a Pakistani number.
Mumbai: The Lalit hotel in Mumbai received a bomb threat call on Tuesday demanding a ransom of Rs 5 crore. Mumbai Police said that an unidentified person called the hotel and said that bombs have been kept at four places in the hotel and that the caller demanded Rs 5 crore to defuse them.
However, it turned out to be a hoax as no bomb was found anywhere in the hotel during security checks.
Sahar police have registered a case against the unidentified caller under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and further investigation is on.
This threat call was received just days after the city police had received a 26/11-like terrorist attack threat from a Pakistani number. Taking serious note, the Mumbai Police immediately got cracking, formed three teams of Crime Branch to investigate while other states and central agencies are also being involved in the operations, said city Commissioner of Police Vivek Phansalkar.
"We are not taking the threat lightly. Any call we receive, we treat it seriously. In the past several of them have turned out to be hoaxes," Mumbai police commissioner Vivek Phansalkar had said.
The threats, warning of 'explosions' in the country's commercial capital, exceeding the effect of 26/11 (2008), were received in a WhatsApp chat at the Mumbai Traffic Police Control Room around 11 p.m. on Friday, sending the city's security apparatus into a state of high-alert early on Saturday morning.
"Mumbaikars should not panic. We are probing the issue from all angles and the Crime Branch is investigating it. Nothing will happen, we shall keep the city safe," Phansalkar told the media.

Imagine you are struggling to get by on a low income. For some, it doesn't need much imagining.
Now imagine that as well as not having much money, you live in a community where there is very little affordable housing, no subsidized daycare, no safe bike lanes, and only sporadic public transit. There are no urban farms or community allotments where you can grow food, no farmers' markets, and no community kitchens—just the food bank to help when your monthly cheque runs out. Imagine, too, that it's a community without any attractive parks or green spaces, no pleasant urban gathering spaces, and very few community non-profits and initiatives where you can contribute and make a difference in the world, however small.
This is double-dose poverty—it's personal poverty sandwiched inside community poverty. As a result, as well as struggling financially, you are probably going to struggle with loneliness, isolation, and depression. On bad days, you may feel completely defeated by life.
Now imagine you are the same person on the same fixed low income, but this time you live in a community that has affordable housing co-operatives and subsidized daycare. There's good public transit and safe bike lanes, making it easy to get around. You can grow food for yourself in a community allotment, buy local organic food at the farmer's' market, and enjoy cooking with friends in a weekly community kitchen.
In addition, thanks to the efforts of local people over the past 20 years, the community has lovely parks and walking trails, and great urban gathering spaces where people meet and pass the time of day.
Now take things a step further, and imagine that your community has a well-developed sharing economy, with a neighbourhood tool library and a weekly gift economy circle where people share their needs and help each other in exchange. Imagine the credit union runs a debt management circle to help people climb out of debt, a business start-up program, and a micro-lending circle. Imagine that local businesses network and co-operate, and there's an active movement to build a new co-operative economy, including financial and legal support for starting consumer and worker co-ops.
To top things off, let's add three more things. First, everyone in the country receives an unconditional Citizen's Income, enabling people on welfare to earn extra money without it being deducted from their cheques. Second, every business and bank has adopted a social purpose to serve the common good as well as generate income for the owner. And thirdly, the whole community is committed to environmental stewardship and building a circular economy, with solar energy and zero waste.
And – I nearly forgot! – your community has a host of active community groups and non-profits, and great schools and public libraries. And post-secondary education is free, financed not by a loan but by a subsequent three per cent charge on your income.
Imagine living first in one community, then the other. The difference is not about personal wealth—it's about community wealth. In the second community you can live in affordable housing, have affordable daycare, travel more affordably, grow food affordably, earn extra income without it being deducted from your Citizens Income, and participate in a host of community activities, meeting people and building a network of friends and supports.
For many years, life has been about putting poverty behind us by working hard, hoping to buy a comfortable home and accumulate personal wealth. Our modern economy has been built on the belief that the pursuit of personal self-interest would lift all boats and create a better world for everyone, thanks to the mysterious ways of the market. Any costs suffered along the way, including the erosion and loss of nature, were dismissed as externalities, not important to the central operation of the economy.
But something is changing deep within our hearts. We observe the housing crisis, the climate crisis, the accumulation of plastic in the world's oceans, the loss of forests, and the massive inequality between the rich and the rest, fuelling anger and distrust in government. I don't have data for North America, but in Germany, 88 per cent of respondents to a survey expressed a desire for a new economic order. In Austria, the desire was 90 per cent, and I suspect it may be the same in Canada.
Somewhere deep within, we know nature is not inexhaustible, humans are not disposable, communities should not be left to wither and die, and consumerism is not something to be admired. We know we need something new.
All across the world this new economy is busy being born, with new approaches to business and banking, new approaches to nature, and new forms of co-operative ownership. And at the core of our future communities, as people work to make it happen, there will be community wealth, celebrated and enjoyed by everyone.
As the years go by we will notice that we are abandoning consumerism, and the accumulation of stuff. We will cease consuming and start restoring. We will discover that, compared to personal wealth, community wealth benefits all, and at the end of the day, it is more resilient. Our children will look back on all our stuff and they will say, "Grandpa, grandma, however did you accumulate so much of it?" And something deep will begin to heal.

Q: winload.efi corrupted after windows 10 installation I have Windows 7 on a regular SSD. I added a PCI-E SSD to my system, and I installed Windows 10 on it.
When I attempted to boot to Windows 7, I received an error that winload.efi was damaged, and now I cannot boot into Windows 7.

I attempted to Repair it by using my Windows 7 Ultimate disk, but that too received an error that my version of System Recovery Options is not compatible with the version of Windows you are trying to repair.

I booted Ubuntu on USB, used gparted to format the PCI-E to raw, but now I realize that Windows 7 cannot see the disk.
I am thinking my only option may be to get a new SSD/HDD, and install a new copy of Windows 7 on the separate disk to overwrite the garbage Windows 10 put on the boot partition.
I don't want to lose the Windows 7 files if possible.
How can I restore the boot for Windows 7?

Judicial Sentencing Error and the Constitution
Boston University Law Review, Vol. 96, No. 5, 2016
56 Pages Posted: 1 Nov 2016
See all articles by Reid K. Weisbord

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey - Rutgers Law School
Much recent scholarship has sharply criticized the pervasive phenomenon of wrongful convictions, but the literature has overlooked an important related injustice: inaccuracy in criminal sentencing. This Article provides the first comprehensive scholarly treatment of judicial sentencing error, which has become widespread in the modern era of both ad hoc revision to criminal codes and increasingly complex criminal sentencing systems that often lack internal coherence or sensible statutory organization. Although nearly always the product of human error, the problem of judicial sentencing error is more aptly characterized as systemic because sentencing judges often face ever-changing, overlapping statutory requirements contained in separate parts of the criminal code. We identify both the source and harmful consequences of judicial sentencing error, and then examine constitutional principles implicated by the untimely correction of an erroneous sentence. Focusing particularly on a defendant's interest in finality, we argue that the constitutional guarantees of substantive due process and protection against double jeopardy under the Fifth Amendment should be construed to limit the time to correct an erroneously lenient sentence, with the Double Jeopardy Clause supplying the more potent limiting principle and objective legal standard. We conclude that — by according respect for principles of finality in criminal sentencing — the law could create an effective institutional incentive for the State to ascertain the correctness of sentencing orders at or near the time of punishment, thereby preventing the harm and injustice that occur when the defendant's reasonable expectation of finality has been frustrated for the legitimate but not indomitable sake of accuracy.

Words can never express how thankful we are for a chance for you to learn about our family. Our hope is that through this you get a glimpse of our hearts and find peace in us. We pray for everyone involved in this journey and feel sure that God has a plan for both our family and yours.
Neil and I have been married for 13 years. We met while at junior college where he played baseball and I played on the softball team. We quickly became friends and in time started dating. We both went to school at Ole Miss where I studied pharmacy and Neil marketing and management. Neil also continued his baseball career as a pitcher for the Ole Miss Baseball team. We got married in 2005 and moved to a small community to start our careers. Today I work as an independent pharmacist and Neil owns an insurance agency. We both enjoy flexible work schedules. We have a 6 year old Labrador Retriever named Jake. At 90 pounds, he's a big baby that loves to play fetch, run and play, and just spend time by our sides. He loves to be "loved on" and is always eager to please. He's truly a man's best friend.
It has always been our dream to buy land and build a house and in 2016 that dream became a reality. We bought 10 acres right outside of town and built our home. We have a 2 story, 3 Bedroom, 3.5 bath home with 2 large bonus rooms upstairs. Our home has lots of natural light so that we can enjoy the outdoors all the time. We see wildlife constantly right from our living room windows. We feel as though everything happens in the kitchen and love to cook together so we built a large kitchen that opens into our family room.
Gardening is one of our favorite past times. We enjoy just watching all the fruits and vegetables grow, but there's also a great sense of pride to eat food that you took so much time to produce. We love to cook and have family and friends over for companionship.
Besides gardening, Neil and I enjoy most outdoor activities. One of our favorite things to do together is to go saltwater fishing in the Louisiana marsh. Our favorites to catch are red fish, trout, and red snapper. They're quite the thrill. We also enjoy the company of our families on these fishing trips. We look forward to time spent on the water; the views can be stunning.
Traveling is another one of our past times. We love to find a new adventure whether it is on a remote island in the British Virgin Islands or on the top of a ski mountain in Colorado.
Neil is also an avid hunter. He enjoys spending time in the woods, admiring the wildlife and marveling at God's creations.
Neil and I both come from large families. I have one older brother and an identical twin sister. People still mistaken us for each other almost every day. Neil has one brother and one sister. All of our siblings have children so we enjoy very lively get-togethers. We have 11 nieces and nephews that we absolutely adore and enjoy spending time with. Their ages range from 6 years to 18 years.
We enjoy gathering on both sides of the family for the holidays. Our favorite is Christmas. We have a tradition each year where we have a "Christmas candy making" party. It's a large gathering of family and friends and we enjoy everything about it. We plan all year for the party and anticipate the recipes that will be used.

Q: ELMAH IController factory not found - Right way to redirect to Error page - MVC Am trying to use ELMAH with MVC4 and configured using NUGET Package for MVC.
It handles all the exceptions happening in my code and am logging it to SQL Server.
Using the Ajax Error function am handling AJAX Exceptions(500) Error too. Everything works fine and redirected Error page overriding OnException in Filter Config
But if the user changes the URL and and if the controller doesnt exist am getting Error and not redirected to the Error page.
Ex:
sitename/test -- Correct URL

sitename/tst ---- Getting Server Error instead redirecting to Error page

What is the correct way to handle 404 using ELMAH and redirecting to friendly 404 page in MVC.
I tried changing the Custom Error with 404 in web.config but it didn't worked as expected.
By default all Errors other than 404 am re directing to Error page
Am trying to redirect to friendly 404 page rather than server error page.
Any useful links or code will be helpful .Thanks
============================================
Update web.config
<customErrors mode="On">
<error statusCode="500" redirect="/Views/Shared/Error.cshtml"/>
<error statusCode="404" redirect="/Views/Shared/ErrorNotFound.cshtml"/>
</customErrors>

A: In ASP.NET MVC, your URL does not represent the View you are displaying.  It is the Controller Action.  You cannot navigate to a View.
For example, the url ~/Home/Index, does not point to Views/Home/Index.cshtml.  It points to the Index method of Controllers/HomeController.  This method then renders the Index.cshtml view and returns the result.
So first, you need to create an ErrorController.  Then, you need to move your Error Views into a matching Error folder.  Now add action methods for Error and ErrorNotFound to your ErrorController, and have them return the correct View.
Finally, change your web.config redirect URL's to ~/Error/ErrorNotFound.
Using this method, you will probably want to change the names of the Controller Actions, and their respective Views to remove the duplicated work Error.


Reader Mary Ann Upchurch from Hominy, Oklahoma, inspired these sandwiches, named after her mother's home state. A favorite summer comfort food, the griddle cakes her mom made were sandwiched with sliced tomato and Vidalia onion.
Process mayonnaise, cilantro leaves, lime zest, fresh lime juice, and garlic clove in a blender until smooth. Spread mayonnaise mixture over warm Summer Griddle Cakes. Sprinkle tomato slices with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and sandwich tomato slices with salad greens and thinly sliced red onion between griddle cakes.
This recipe is fabulous and easy. When used with the Arkansas sandwich recipe, it is so fresh tasting! The ultimate taste of summer!

Expert group formed to investigate safely opening trans-Tasman travel
Posted by Australia New Zealand Leadership Forum 9sc on May 05, 2020
Plans for re-opening trans-Tasman travel are gathering momentum with the establishment of a new business-led expert group to investigate and develop recommended solutions for the safe reopening of borders between Australia and New Zealand.
Today the Australia New Zealand Leadership Forum (ANZLF) announced the formation of the 'Trans-Tasman Safe Border Group' - a joint working group made up of health experts and airline, airport and border agency representatives from each country who will develop a comprehensive proposal for reopening the air border, and share this with Ministers on both sides of the Tasman.
"Over many years Australia and New Zealand have developed a unique and close relationship and the prosperity of our nations is closely intertwined," said Ann Sherry AO, ANZLF Australian Co-Chair.
"Both countries have been successful in containing the spread of COVID-19 to date, and it makes sense for Australia and New Zealand to look to each other first to reopen our borders, when the time is right and it's safe for us to do so. We welcome the efforts of our respective governments to consider the next phase of the economic rebuild for our countries, and include trans-Tasman travel as part of their strategies," Ms Sherry said.
Australia and New Zealand are two of the most integrated economies in the world, with a Single Economic Market agenda in place to support a seamless trans-Tasman business environment. Each country is vital to the success of each other's small and medium-sized businesses, and contribute strongly to each other's tourism sectors, with estimated $3 billion in international visitor spend each way every year.
Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, New Zealand was the most popular outbound travel destination for Australians with 1.5 million visiting in 2019, accounting for 40% of all foreign visitors to New Zealand. Likewise, Australia was the most popular outbound travel destination for Kiwis. New Zealand is Australia's second largest source market for visitors (behind China), with 1.4 million visitors in 2019, accounting for 15% of total visitors to Australia.
Initiated by Auckland Airport, and supported by the Tourism and Transport Forum Australia (TTF), the ANZLF will
co-ordinate the Trans-Tasman Safe Border Group which will involve about 20 public and private sector experts working together to produce a package of recommendations for new safe border processing for inbound and outbound travelers.
Margy Osmond, Australian Co-chair of the ANZLF Tourism Sector Group said: "Our target outcome will be a set of safe travel processes to manage health risks while allowing trans-Tasman travel to recommence without the need for a 14-day compulsory quarantine or self-isolation period on arrival in the destination country. Our proposal will be shared with government Ministers on each side of the Tasman for consideration."
The group will focus on two core workstreams - airfield, crew, aircraft and other ground handling and operational components, and a second workstream focused on passengers, including inflight protocols, border processing, embarking and disembarking and robust health requirements, such as testing and contact tracing for visitors in country.
"While our countries continue to focus on the number one priority of getting the virus under control, we can start planning and testing for what might be possible in the future to help us connect again with family and friends and to safely support the restart of tourism and trade," said Auckland Airport Chief Executive Adrian Littlewood.
"It's going to take time and a collective effort to develop solutions, but drawing on the expertise of this group and the ANZLF our hope is that all parts of the system will be ready to go when the health evidence supports it," he said.
Sydney Airport Chief Executive Officer Geoff Culbert said the development of safe procedures that help to reopen our borders will be critical to support Australia – New Zealand business links, which are vital to both economies.
"Establishing Australia-New Zealand travel will support important links that are vital to both economies, particularly tourism, which needs all the help it can get," he said.
"There's real merit in using Australia-New Zealand travel as an international test case, establishing proof of concept that can be rolled out more broadly to other markets when the time is right."
The ANZLF has a strong track record of collaboration, successfully working alongside government to support the development and implementation of initiatives such as e-Gate technology as part of the Single Economic Market border workstream. Airlines, airports and border and health officials on both sides of the Tasman have already committed to supporting the Trans-Tasman Safe Border Group which is expected to commence its work within the next week.
The Trans-Tasman Safe Border Group will also recommend how the trans-Tasman border experience could be used to model and test processes that could be applied to other countries in the future to enable progressive lifting of border restrictions.
About the ANZLF
• Since 2004 the Australia New Zealand Leadership Forum (ANZLF) has brought business and government together to help Australia and New Zealand prosper.
• The ANZLF enables discussion between senior business and government leaders about ways to improve business and trade between Australia and New Zealand.
• The ANZLF is steered by the Australian and New Zealand Co-Chairs, Ann Sherry AO (Advisor Carnival Australia) and Greg Lowe (Group Chief Executive at Beca).

• With borders now closed, the co-chairs of the Tourism Sector group will lead a new and focused Trans-Tasman Safe Border Group tasked specifically with designing a proposal for how the trans-Tasman border could be safely reopened when the time is right. This new group will be able to draw on its strong working relationships with public and private sector and understanding of Trans-Tasman travel and border processes enabling fast progress.
• The Tourism Sector group is co-chaired by Margy Osmond, CEO Tourism and Transport Forum Australia and Scott Tasker, General Manager Aeronautical Commercial Auckland International Airport.
• ANZLF is supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and leading Australian and New Zealand businesses.

Part of usability - just like most production activities - is knowing the audience. Who are the users? What do they need?
In the world of tabletop gaming, users are creative folk with lots of unique ideas. Publishing a tool - such as a character creator - that doesn't allow for expression of unique ideas is not friendly to the tool's primary market segment.
When a roleplayer complains that they can't add a custom spell or a custom religion to their character creator program, then the program and the company have also failed.
One of the reasons I find that MapTool works so well, for instance, is because it doesn't impose a lot of restrictions. Sure, you can move through walls. Turns out you can do that on the tabletop, too, and it doesn't make it any more legal. What MapTool recognizes - either on purpose or by accident - is that every so often in an RPG, you need to be able to move through a wall. Therefore, you can't code restrictions with walls unless you also have options that let GMs & players get around that restriction.
In the world of character creators, I don't have much use for software that lets me pick a Religion, but doesn't let me enter my own Religion. I don't have much use for selecting spells if I can't enter the cool new spell my GM plopped out of his arse in the last session.
Spreadsheets, word documents, and interactive PDF files will remain superior - for me - until software development teams at tabletop companies can appreciate these fundamental requirements. Although to be honest, I truly prefer a pencil and a nice sheet of paper anyways. Part of me wonders if computers sometimes get in the way of the tabletop experience too much.
And if character creation is so complicated that noone can create a mathematically accurate toon without software, then something else is wrong entirely, that has nothing to do with software.
It's all about fundamental design.
People are individuals, so any hiring software needs to include that in the design. Likewise, characters are individuals - a character I make tomorrow will, in some way, be different than any other character ever made, and for software to be useful, it must take that into consideration.
I agree with of the points you made. I would only add that one advantage to character creation via computer software is ease of use. I do find it easier to create a character when only my option based on the selections I have already made are what appear before me. That allows me to weed out all the information I don't currently need.
Having said that, the lack of the ability to create new things, such as religions or spells as you pointed out, is a big restriction.
Generally agree with your post (i.e. bad software is bad, good software is good).
"Although to be honest, I truly prefer a pencil and a nice sheet of paper anyways. Part of me wonders if computers sometimes get in the way of the tabletop experience too much."
Personally, I'm more comfortable with a laptop than with a pen and paper. But then I could type before I could speak (or my father says). To each his own I guess.

Combles ist eine französische Gemeinde mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) im Département Somme in der Region Hauts-de-France. Sie gehört zum Arrondissement Péronne.

Geschichte
Die erste bisher entdeckte urkundliche Erwähnung findet sich in einer Lehensvergabe König Lothars II. von 858 an einen Getreuen.

Während des Deutsch-Französischen Kriegs (1870/71) war Combles von der Schlacht bei Bapaume betroffen.

Im Sommer 1916 tobte hier während des Ersten Weltkrieges die Schlacht an der Somme. Die Stellungskämpfe, die sich monatelang kaum verlagerten, sind sehr eindrucksvoll im Historial de la Grande Guerre im Museum von Peronne nachgestellt.

Ernst Jünger hat Kriegserlebnisse im 1916 schwer zerstörten Städtchen Combles in seinem ersten 1920 erschienenen Buch In Stahlgewittern literarisch verarbeitet.

Donecle and Roboplanet look into non-destructive testing for military aircraft

© Donecle
France's Defence Innovation Agency has awarded research and development contracts to Donecle and Roboplanet, as part of tender process for non-destructive testing. Launched in June in partnership with the French air force and the DMAé, it seeks to "improve non-destructive aircraft testing". The 400 000 Euro budget is intended to support the two projects for twelve months and produce a demonstrator at the end of 2020, to be tested on an aircraft "or a representative part".
In partnership with Dassault Aviation and 8Tree, Donecle is presenting a 3D inspection solution assisted by a "100% automated" drone for aircraft coatings. "It would enable the measurement of surface faults - on metal and composite surfaces - and allow us to track their position on the aircraft's digital model". The Toulouse-based company which was created four years again has made automated aircraft inspection by drone its speciality and has already begun to win over the civilian market, as shown by recent contracts signed with Austrian and AAR.
For its part, Roboplanet is proposing a "semi-autonomous robot with ultrasound sensors" for "automatic fault detection" at the core of a composite part and to generate inspection reports. The company which is based in Nantes also specialises in non-destructive testing solutions and includes the French navy among its customers, to which it has proposed a multi-element corrosion scanner "dedicated to ultrasound thickness measurement" on metal surfaces.
The objective of the call for projects is to produce innovative solutions to develop non-destructive testing techniques, in particular through their automation (partial or total), in order to reduce both lead times and also the number of personnel. These are operations which are related to airframe ageing or the search for cracks, whether in France or abroad.
