JORHAT, Nov 23 - The Vice-Chancellor of Assam Agricultural University (AAU) Dr KM Bujarbaruah on Monday inaugurated the North East Centre for Agricultural Biotechnology in the AAU Jorhat campus at Borbheta.
The inaugural function was held in presence of Dr TJ Higgins, an internationally-known expert in the field of genetic engineering from CSIRO, Canberra, Australia and also Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the Centre along with Mohammad Aslam, Advisor, Department of Biotechnology (DBT) of the Union Ministry of Science and Technology and Dr T Madhan Mohan, consultant advisor, NERBPMC.
In his address, Dr Bujarbaruah said that the DBT had sanctioned Rs 24 crore for a period of three years for the centre which would serve the north- eastern region with extended functioning.
Five satellite laboratories will also be constructed in five States of the North East apart from the one in Assam.
Bujarbaruah said that the centre would facilitate and strengthen biotechnology and human resource development in the North East region.
"The major focus would be on modification of rice for tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, use of gene technology for grain legume improvement, gene prospecting from soil microbes for acid tolerance and promotion of organic farming through provisioning of efficient and novel bio fertilizer and biopesticides," the Vice-Chancellor said.
Earlier, Dr BK Sarmah, director of the DBT centre welcomed the dignitaries and others.

First aid refers to medical attention administered immediately after an injury occurs and at the location where it occurred. It usually consists of a one-time, short-term treatment and requires little technology or training to administer.
OSHA requires employers to have emergency medical services and supplies available at all workplaces, either by ensuring that emergency treatment services are within reasonable proximity of the work site, or by providing for the availability of a trained first aid provider at the work site.
Before authorizing employees to administer First Aid, they must know how to assess and properly treat injuries. Effective first aid and OSHA safety training and safety meeting topics can greatly improve a victim's chance of survival and recovery.
While it is always best to be properly trained in first aid because using the wrong procedure or performing it incorrectly can do more harm than good, providing any assistance can mean the difference between life and death.
In addition, regulation 1910.266 identifies the requirements for First aid kits in the workplace.
While OSHA does not specify the types of first aid training required, or offer training, it does mandate that emergency medical care and/or First Aid services be available.
In order to meet these requirements, companies should have a written First Aid plan that identifies authorized First Aid providers, emergency contact information, and the locations of first aid supplies.
Creating a company policy and determining the types and levels of training required for the workplace can be a formidable undertaking requiring you to either create and maintain first aid training program internally, of contract with a costly third party training consultant.
Here at Safety Services we have developed a "Do-It-Yourself" training program and safety manual that is both simple to administer and meets your OSHA requirements. This innovative kit features an Interactive Training Program, Student's Handbook, Instructors Handbook, OSHA Regulations, Student Tests, Training Logs, Certificates, Wallet Cards and More.
Our First Aid training kit is a simple three-step solution that provides your employees with the essential information to enable them to provide fundamental aid to injured workers.
o A computer based training program that allows employees to navigate an electronic training program at their own pace, and then take an on-line test.
o Instructor presentations and printable student materials that your trainer can use to deliver group classroom training, or when computer isn't feasible.
2. Field training – The second step of training is in the field. During this part of the training, your appointed trainer demonstrates to the students how to apply the information they learned in the classroom session in the workplace.
3. Evaluation – The third step to the training session is evaluation. Through this step, the trainer either evaluates the trainees understanding of the information and procedures, and then signs off on certification, or retouches on topics that need more work.
Our kit starts by providing your designated trainer information on the reasons for training, what makes up an effective training program and guidelines for presenting the material. The training contains information on the following topics.
The information provided by our First Aid training program meets all OSHA requirements, and is structured to allow you to tailor the training based on the needs of your company.
By providing your company with all the necessary material, your designated trainer will be able to deliver the required training quickly, easily, and consistently.
Note: Although this First Aid safety training program covers important information on providing aid to injured workers, it is not a substitute for certifications by an accredited medical services agency such as the Red Cross or American Heart Association. These organizations offer hands-on training on specific first aid topics and equipment such as CPR and AEDs. You should review your job hazards analysis document to determine if this type of additional training might be required at your workplace.
If you have any questions about safety meeting topics, or are ready to order your First Aid safety training program, give us a call at 1-888-840-9276.

Over 60% of Women Working in Technology Feel They Aren't Taken Seriously
New Survey Identifies the Biggest Challenges Facing Women Working in Technology
BRACKNELL — 18 September 2018 —
A new global survey of women working in technology has found that the majority of women surveyed (63%) feel that negative perceptions associated with inherent gender bias adversely affect their working environment and professional opportunities.
Ivanti, the company that unifies IT to better manage and secure the digital workplace, conducted the Ivanti Women in Tech Survey 2018 from the 18th of April to the 8th of May, 2018, surveying over 500 women working in technology from around the globe (including the UK, Ireland and the US) about their experiences of the industry, both positive and challenging. The report identified that many women have to deal with gender disparity in the workplace, including having their suggestions dismissed, being constantly interrupted in meetings and being overlooked for promotion in favour of male counterparts. In addition, 43% said that a key struggle in the industry is a lack of female role models to look up to.
The gender pay gap is also a significant issue for women working in technology. 75% of respondents agreed that the best change that organisations and the wider technology industry could make to encourage more women into technology would be to pay women the same as their male counterparts. This is an issue not exclusive to technology, with the UK Government's Gender Pay Gap Survey shining light on the fact that women are paid less than men as a national average across all sectors.
Other key findings from the report include:
Encouragingly, over half of those surveyed have noticed that there are more women working in technology now than there were five years ago.
88% of women believe that 'a desire to learn' is the most important skill to have when working in technology.
67% feel that 'making a positive impact on their organisation and the wider industry' is the best thing about being a woman in technology.
One in five would advise females starting a career in technology that it is critical to 'know your worth'.
Sarah Lewis, Director of Field Marketing & UK Women in Tech Ambassador at Ivanti, said, "While it is incredible to see that there are so many more women working in the technology industry than ever before, the report highlights what we have been told anecdotally for years: more needs to be done in order to encourage gender diversity in technology. Women need to be taken seriously and be paid the same as their male counterparts in order to ensure the continued growth and diversity of the tech sector."
Speaking at Ivanti's EMEA customer event, Interchange Madrid, Sally Bogg, Head of End User Services at Leeds Beckett University, said, "One of the best aspects of working in technology as a woman is just how many opportunities it provides. It is such a varied and exciting career, you never know what's going to come next. But more than just the excitement that comes about from all the innovation is that it is an industry full of amazing people. I am privileged to work with so many inspiring women from all over the world, but there simply aren't enough of us for this industry to continue to grow, and this must change."
The Ivanti Women in Tech Survey 2018 is a part of Ivanti's Women in Technology initiative which launched in July 2017. The campaign was launched as an online and face-to-face support network for women in the industry who are limited on time but still want to share ideas and successes with like-minded peers. Through this network, Ivanti runs networking events, and publishes online resources such as blogs, podcasts and curated news. Ivanti also supports STEM more generally, giving employees two days per year to donate to STEM education initiatives. Many use these days to volunteer at STEM groups in schools to encourage young people of all genders to get into technology.

Making Sense combines the works of Targett and Symons' which investigate both atmospheric and political interests in the ecological conundrum.
-How has science changed the way we view nature, and how has this heightened ecological awareness changed our world view?
-How do contemporary artists through craft and design communicate ideas of such complex magnitude?
-How can craft materials be used in innovative ways to discuss ethereal constructs of nature such as the ozone and species decline?
The body of work presented unravels the earth's life support system, placing a lens over our questioning perception and collected historical data, simultaneously exploring micro and macrocosmic scale. The exhibition researches the atmosphere of rediscovery surrounding environmental aesthetics, discussing the impact of multifaceted aspects of scientific examination.
Through contemporary craft methods, Symons and Targett consciously use materials that reflect the concepts investigated in their works. Targett's work addresses awareness of the earth's atmosphere through contemporary and historical mapping. Utilising dichroic glass as an innovative medium, the work revaluates the material's original use for the visor of space suit helmets by drawing a parallel between the innate protective qualities of the material shielding the astronaut from the sun in the same manner the ozone protects the earth.
The historical, political and environmental predicament surrounding Antarctic and its waters is explored in Symons drawing and video works. By using a historical government archive, Symons maps the impermanence of the climate and landscape, charting the multifaceted effects within this region on the 60 migratory species that rely on the area.
Making Sense will be the fourth exhibition in which Symons and Targett have collaborated. They have worked closely with one another for some years, developing a substantial thread that tethers between their arts practice. The conceptual underpinnings of their work complement one another. This has made it possible for them to represent their ideas and philosophies collectively at key moments in the creative process.

Planning commission rejects Shadow Mountain homesite
Janet Urquhart
Aspen CO Colorado
ASPEN – A proposed house site on the lower slopes of Shadow Mountain, on property formerly owned by Hans Gramiger, was rejected Tuesday by the Pitkin County Planning and Zoning Commission.
The commission voted 5-0 to recommend denial of an application to divide a collection of mining claims into three lots, creating a new, 1.6-acre site for a single-family home perched above Hopkins Avenue on a bench of land on lower Shadow Mountain. The proposal also would carve out about 18 acres of open space on Shadow Mountain that would be turned over to the county. A third tract of almost 10 acres, primarily composed of the Homestead Lode mining claim, was sold by Gramiger to Westchester Investments in 2000 and contains the former Gramiger house on West Hopkins Avenue.
The Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendation will go to the Pitkin County commissioners, who will make a final decision at a hearing that has not yet been scheduled.
Seeking the subdivision and other approvals associated with creation of the homesite is The Pride LLC and Joan Alexander, Gramiger's companion and caregiver before his death in 2005. The colorful Gramiger tried for years to build a restaurant, which he intended to call On the Rocks, at the peak of Shadow Mountain, the rocky outcropping that flanks Aspen Mountain's west side and looms over town.
His former property includes fingers of land that extend from the top of Shadow Mountain down to Hopkins Avenue near Fourth Street and Seventh Street, and, on the opposite side, Castle Creek.
A bench of land above and slightly to the west of the intersection of Fourth Street and Hopkins Avenue contains the proposed new homesite. It is above the Midland Trail and west of the Little Cloud Trail. The parcel that extends down toward Seventh Street, purchased by a neighboring property owner, contains Gramiger's old house, while a strip of land atop Shadow Mountain and extending down to Castle Creek would become open space under the subdivision proposal.
The county's Community Development staff recommended the application be denied. A driveway to access the house site encroaches on slopes that exceed a 45 percent grade and the site is within a rockfall area, according to a memo to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Development there is prohibited by the county's land-use code for both of those reasons.
In addition, the county maintains that Gramiger's sale of the 10 acre-piece that included his house was an illegal subdivision of the land and that there is no development right associated with the remaining acreage, according to Suzanne Wolff, county planner.
The applicant is seeking the development rights for a residence of up to 7,500 square feet through the purchase of three transferable development rights, Wolff said. A 5,000-square-foot residence with the purchase of two transferable development rights was mentioned Tuesday as an alternative, she said.

But here's my beef in a nutshell: When Ries and Blank criticize the business plan, they are talking about a now-obsolete approach: the formal written business plan. They say it gets in the way of the more agile and flexible lean startup process. But what they criticize isn't what a business plan should be. In fact, it's what a business plan shouldn't be.
Ironically, the problem isn't really related to the core ideas of the lean startup movement, as taught by Eric Ries and Steve Blank and a lot of others. They all appreciate the planning process that involves setting steps and milestones and metrics and following up with management and regular revisions. Ask any of them whether they believe in focus, and allocating resources, and setting tasks and deadlines, and they'll all say yes.
So don't get confused. Whether you're looking for investment or not, whether you're applying for a bank loan or not, don't deprive yourself of business planning. And, even more important, if you don't need the whole big formal document, don't do the formal document. But use good business planning to manage uncertainty and steer your business.
It would be better to advocate a type of business planning that could be called lean business planning. That would mean starting small with a business plan that summarizes the current strategy, metrics, milestones, tasks and basic responsibilities. You don't print it, much less edit, polish and publish it. You just use it.
A real business plan should grow organically, just like a lean startup. The process starts with a concrete and specific plan for what's supposed to happen and continues forever with regular review and revision.
Do yourself a favor. Plan your business. Start with a first plan and then review and revise often. You'll be glad you did.

Q: Debugging JavaScript in Edge & VS Code causes DCOM 10016 Event / Access violation Environment: Windows 10
IDE: Visual Studio Code
Extensions: Live Server v5.7.5 by Ritwick Dey and Microsoft Edge Tools for VS Code v2.1.0
When I am debugging JavaScript files, if I put a break point in an exported class, I get the error shown in the image bellow.
I cleared the Windows System log, and right after I start debugging and get the error, a new entry is in the Windows system log.  This happens every time without fail.  The error in the Windows System log is:
    The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission
for the COM Server application with CLSID

    {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}

 and APPID

address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID
(Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services
administrative tool.

My question is how do I fix this issue?

Update 7/26/2022:
If I remove the breakpoint from the constructor of the class and put it elsewhere in the class, it works without any errors.  The error occurs if the breakpoint is in the constructor.

A: I found the answer and it is not anything above.
Well, I finally solved the problem.  I am updating this answer so that someone else will know the answer without going down all the wrong paths that I went down.  The problems was not any of the tools.  The problem was with the code.  While technically the code was correct, executing it with a breakpoint caused the error I talked about above.  I was able to fix this problem by moving all the class member variables to the top of the class before all member functions.  The error only occurs when you add a breakpoint before the member variables are defined.  Code analyzers say there is nothing wrong with the code.  The error message could be more informative!

Good guys don't just win awards for being good guys. When it comes to Colin Fraser, who once met soccer superstar David Beckham, good things, namely winning the Stanley Cup, happen to come in twos.
The 28-year-old, who won the Cup with Chicago in 2010 and Los Angeles in 2012, has a picture-perfect reminder and story to go with his latest championship, something he recently shared with NHLPA.com.
The 69th overall selection of the Philadelphia Flyers in 2003, Fraser, who hails from British Columbia, still takes time to sit down and relive his Cup-winning moments, a reminder of what everyone plays for.
A feeling that is twice as nice for Colin Fraser.

The Only Series that Matters is a series of essays, taken from posts on this site, in which I examine each book in A Series of Unfortunate Events upon rereading them a decade after I first fell in love with them as a kid. The essays highlight literary techniques, thematic explorations, and the ideas communicated in these books that have resonated with me from when I first read the series to today.
You can read all those essays here, or you can buy them in ebook form on Amazon or Smashwords. The book version, in addition to being slightly more polished, also contains "Chapter Fourteen," an essay discussing my relationship with the series through different parts of my life, and The Appalling Appendix—an index of selected notes, quotes, and observations from the file I kept while rereading the series.

The Healthy Reason Behind Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's Big, Happy Family
Karen KwanUpdated: Oct. 16, 2017
What's the secret to Chrissy Teigen and John Legend's healthy family? Sure, they are #couplegoals, but we're talking about their adopted family member.
It is a full house for Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
And then there were four – four fur babies, that is, in the Teigen/Legend household, and we can't take all the cuteness.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have just adopted a bulldog puppy , which they've named Pepper, reports people.com.
A big, happy, healthy famjam
The sweet pup joins fur siblings Penny and Pippa (both French bulldogs) and Puddy (an English bulldog), and of course, their 17-month-old daughter, Luna.
Captioning the Instagram post, "What happens at lip sync battle does not always stay at lip sync battle @caseypattersontv @llcoolj," Teigen made reference to an inside joke with her colleagues, while also sharing a video of the dog adorably walking towards her.
The star has shared a pic in the past of daughter Luna playing with Pepper, and this pet-friendly household always seems plenty happy, and research does show that pets can improve your health and wellness.
Why you should do as Chrissy and John do
In a recent study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, research suggests that exposing children to pets and other indoor allergens before the age of 3 may help prevent asthma from developing.
In a 2016 study, led by a researcher at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom, pets' impact on one's mental health was examined, and the authors found that pets can play a unique role when it comes to mental illness; consider the unconditional support a pet can offer.
Teigen and Legend most certainly believe that pets make your lives better and with little Pepper adopted into one of the most fun and loving households, we can't wait to see more of what Luna and her fur squad of four get up to.

How to Pivot Strategically
By Kerra Bolton on July 18, 2018 2 Comments
Editor's note: This is a guest post by Kerra Bolton.
Change was in the air and Natalie, my client, was scared.
The nonprofit where Natalie worked for 20 years recently called a meeting to announce organizational changes, including hiring freelancers for tasks that had been within her scope of work.
"I need a plan," she frantically told me. "I need to know what to do so that if I'm let go next week, next month, or in six months, I am okay."
Natalie feared a day of reckoning could be fast approaching. She could wait in fear of being let go, panic and apply for well-paying but uninspiring jobs, or she could pivot strategically.
Pivoting can result from a disruptive event or life change such as job loss, divorce, or death of a loved one. It can also come from a restless knowing that it's time to change. Or it can be an inspired and committed decision to move in a new direction. What makes a pivot "strategic" is whether the process generates opportunities for learning, growth, and innovation.
Here are suggestions to help you pivot with power, intention, and purpose so that the pivot is strategic and helps you move toward your dreams and goals.
Listen to the Voice of Divine Discontent
We know it's time to pivot before we consciously acknowledge it. We may feel dissatisfied with a field, task, or approach we have mastered. We may have a vague sense of reaching the end of something, but not know what comes next.
Physically, these thoughts and emotions manifest as a nagging in your gut, headaches, troubling dreams, or something "feeling off." We often dismiss these physical symptoms as burn-out, stress, or chronic illness. However, the sensations are the initial stirrings of "divine discontent."
Divine discontent signals the time has come for change. The path we have diligently followed for years has now come to a crossroads. Its "divinity" doesn't necessarily come from God or religion, though you may believe in such concepts. It is divine because life presents you with an opportunity to grow.
Natalie had experienced divine discontent in her job previously. For years, she knew she had outgrown her scope of duties and longed to open her own business. Instead of heeding the call to change, she swatted away the whisperings of divine discontent by taking on additional challenges at work.
But divine discontent has a way of making itself heard. You should listen whenever it whispers or roars. For Natalie, divine discontent appeared in a roar during two organizational shake-ups. She sought my coaching services in response to that loud voice. Together, we analyzed the organizational dynamics, brainstormed her options, and crafted short-term plans to empower and encourage her.
We did the work, but she failed to implement it. She remained stuck in an uninspiring job she should have left a decade ago. She may survive the latest round of organizational changes or she may be let go. Either way, it was time for her to listen to the voice of divine discontent.
Natalie hadn't acted on our previous plans for professional growth and change because she was afraid. Her "fear muffs" made listening to the voice of divine discontent impossible.
We needed to remove them so that she could gain clarity on what she wanted to do next, recognize the resources that were already present in her life to support her new direction, and make a realistic plan to pivot in the next 90 days.
"What would you do if you knew you could not fail?" I asked.
Her eyes lit up as she described a media training business. She would use her extensive television experience, contacts, and field training to help high-performing individuals and mid-size companies tell compelling success stories about who they are and the services they offer.
Then, she immediately became crestfallen as she listed a litany of challenges: the impact of social media on traditional media, lack of immediate income, not knowing who her market was and how to find it, and being pulled in multiple directions as a professional, mother, wife, and daughter to aging parents.
"Are any of these challenges insurmountable?" I asked.
"No," she said.
"Then what are you really afraid of?" I asked.
She thought for a moment, and I waited. Eventually, she shared she was afraid of her family, friends, and former colleagues' critical judgment of her leaving the organization she had worked for during most of her adult life to start her own media consulting company. She worried their external judgment would mirror her internal fears about not being good enough.
Land on Your Feet or Learn How to Fly
Pivoting, whether it occurs once a decade or once every few years, seems contrary to everything we think we know about success.
This is especially true if we belong to the Gen X and Baby Boomer generations. Like Natalie, we learned that success is choosing a single path early in life and grinding it until everyone sees your brilliance. But such a view is as outdated as an iPod shuffle.
Natalie could stay mired in her misconceptions about success and fears about what people might think of her starting her own business. Or she could make a different choice. She could pivot strategically by making small moves in the time she had left at the organization to propel her forward.
Natalie chose the second option. She decided to let go and trust she would either land on her feet or learn how to fly.
I suggested she begin the process by making an appointment with her financial planner to see how long the dual income she and her husband earned could support their current lifestyle. Using that information, she and her husband could determine what expenses to trim, how to save more aggressively, and how to communicate their choices to their three children.
Next, we developed a no-cost, high-yield experiment she could launch in a month to discern who her potential market was and what problems they wanted her to solve. She made a list of everyone in her personal and professional networks who would be an ideal client in her new business and invited them to a one-hour, online workshop to discuss the most common problems people face when presenting themselves on television or video.
Finally, we brainstormed how she could align her daily choices with her future goals. Natalie decided it would be best for her finances and family if she remained at her current job for as long as possible while working to build her business. We set a series of realistic benchmarks she could meet in the time she had available. We also discussed ways she could counter her tendency to compare herself to people who had more time and financial resources.
The Alchemy of Our Own Fate
The secret of strategic pivoting isn't lining up all the options and making the perfect decision about where and how to land. It's about developing confidence in yourself and faith in something larger than yourself so that you can navigate unexpected change.
Pivoting strategically allows us to let go of what is no longer working for us so that we can embrace the possibilities that are more aligned with our path and purpose. This can mean quitting our job and becoming an entrepreneur, changing the direction of our business, or deepening our craft. Strategic pivoting also permits us to release misguided notions of a fixed, straight-line view of success and seize opportunities as they arise.
When we pivot strategically, we get the larger lesson that life is full of pivots — paths taken and not, serendipitous adventures, and missed opportunities. We discover that all pivots are ultimately strategic because they are not part of the path, they are the path. And in understanding this, we become the alchemists of our own fate. (Tweet this.)

Our Municipal Bond strategies seek tax-free income from across the municipal bond market spanning the full yield curve and credit quality spectrum.
In a changing market environment, with increased interest rate volatility, investors may benefit from a flexible approach that seeks opportunities across the entire municipal bond market.
The strategy is designed to achieve attractive tax-free income, relative to both municipal bonds and comparable-term taxable bonds, which may benefit investors, especially those in higher tax brackets.
The team covers the full credit quality spectrum and municipal curve, as well as each state and sector within the municipal market. This allows us to seek and to potentially capitalize on total return opportunities across the broad municipal market.
We identify factors that serve as inflection points on the credit trajectory and also take into account the political environment, demographics and economic sustainability to actively manage interest rate and credit exposures.
Analysts merge state-specific responsibilities with a sector-specific focus, which may offer investors risk-adjusted valuation analysis. Our research analysts also provide portfolio managers with real-time relative trade ideas.
Our credit and portfolio management teams are in constant communication, debating and reviewing investment themes to build conviction-based portfolios and promote a culture of accountability and transparency.
We aim to ensure that active risk is employed intelligently, sized appropriately, diversified broadly and remain within the acceptable parameters of the portfolio. Our proprietary risk-monitoring model estimates risk at the aggregate portfolio level and at the individual security level.

Highlighting Member Impact
Congratulations to DCFR member Bart Alexander who received the 2019 Lifetime Achievement Award as a "Top Thought Leaders in Trust" by Trust Across America!
In 2018, Mr. Alexander was recognized for the fourth year in a row being nominated as one of America's "Top Thought Leaders in Trust" by Trust Across America for his work with senior leaders, teams, and organizations to integrate corporate responsibility and sustainability into their purpose, strategy, and culture.
Since 2011, DCFR member and DU Professor of International Security at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies, Professor Lewis Griffith, has allocated countless hours of his free time towards developing and administering the Crisis Engagement and Negotiation Exercise (CENEX). This annual, two day, professional crisis simulation provides students with the opportunity to engage in a real-time crisis that must be negotiated in a high stakes, rapidly changing environment. The 2018 scenario involved student teams from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Oman, Russia, and the United States as they wrestled with realistic crisises in security, economic issues, and humanitarian aide. The student body is eternally grateful for the work that Professor Griffith puts into their education, both inside and outside of the classroom.
DCFR Member Professor Ved Nanda has been awarded the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award in the Republic of India! Instituted on 2 January 1954, the award is given for "distinguished service of a high order...without distinction of race, occupation, position, or sex." The award criteria include "service in any field including service rended by Government servants," such as doctors and scientists who's work includes elements of public service. Professor Nanda's work with the World Jurist Association, American Society of International Law, United States Institute of Human Rights, United National Association-USA, American Bar Association Section of International Law, and the Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver are just a few of the organizations through which he was worked as a public servant. We are honored to have Professor Nanda as a DCFR member and congratulate him on his Padma Bhushan award!
DCFR Member and University of Denver Professor Edward Thomas Rowe contributes his time as the Director of the International Career Advancement Program (ICAP). The mission of ICAP is to bring greater quality and diversity to the staffing of senior management and policy-making positions in international affairs, government agencies, non-profit organization, and the private sector. It accomplishes this by assisting highly promising mid-career professionals from underrepresented groups in advancing to more senior positions in international affairs. Professor Rowe, the founder of ICAP, was honored on September 14, 2017 when Representatives Gregory Meeks and Eliot L. Engel introduced a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives commemorating the twentieth anniversary of ICAP (H.Res. 522).
"This resolution is truly a tribute to the over 500 talented individuals who have participated as well as to the many supporters and advocates of the program who have recognized the need and have made it possible for over two decades. It also underscores the importance of fostering diversity in senior ranks in international affairs so that the United States can fulfil its potential." - Tom Rowe

Rebuilding Alliance is thrilled to be hosting Najib Joe Hakim's beautiful installation, Home Away From Home: Little Palestine by the Bay, from February 12 - March 8.
Home Away from Home: Little Palestine by the Bay is a photography and oral storytelling project by Palestinian artist Najib Joe Hakim. Hakim took beautiful black and white portraits of 27 Palestinians living in the Bay Area, and recorded interviews with them about their relationship to the word "home."
Some participants are Palestinians born in Palestine who moved to the United States, and some were born here, but both describe the complexity of identity and attachment to their home in Palestine through their descriptions of family, community, and place.
The event includes the portraits as well as recorded interviews which are accessed with QR codes. Please bring your smart phone and a pair of headphones if you would like to listen to the interviews! Printed copies will be available.
Rebuilding Alliance has set the goal to send 3,888 backpacks with new school supplies by the end of May. By sharing news of this amazing event, you can help us reach our goal. Attendees are asked to make a $20 recommended donation to purchase a backpack for one child. Please tell your friends and family about this amazing opportunity at Rebuilding Alliance. Each backpack purchase will give attendees free admittance to the show and one raffle ticket for Najib's prints.
Rebuilding Alliance is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to rebuilding war-torn communities and making them safe. We focus on four areas to meet our mission: construction finance, advocacy, education, and aid. In addition to our projects in Area C of the West Bank, we worked in Gaza to build a home for the family that American activist Rachel Corrie stood to protect. After the bombings this summer, we responded by sending a container full of donated goods to Gazan families in need, which arrived on January 5th. On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we sent a second container to Syrian refugees in Lebanon. Now, we are looking to do more.

Jewels, gems, and stones...oh my!
Oddly enough we got a little hungry while we were there - but that could be due to all the candy imagery. Even the cafe lighting looks like treats. Yummmm!
We love gallery walls. The overall look appears as one whole piece, a large art statement. I collect black and white photos as travel souvenirs. Seeing all the places I have been and love always brings a smile to my face. Creating a gallery wall doesn't have to be a hard process. As you can see from the images above, they can include more than just photos and paintings. I love that a TV can be hidden in the mix instead of standing alone as a black hole on a blank wall.
1. Gather all the images and objects you want to include. Also grab old paper bags (craft paper will work), scissors, painter's tape and a pencil.
2. Trace the outline of the frames or objects onto the bags, then cut the outlines out. Mark on the paper outlines the location of the wire or teeth on the back of each frame.
3. Tape up the bag outlines and move them around until it looks right to you (this can take awhile~ I left it for a fews days standing back and tweaking a little here and there). When you are ready just put a nail through each piece of paper where you marked the hanging point(s) earlier.
I grew up near the ocean so colors that remind me of the beach or the sea are soothing; like going home. So here are some pieces I found that I love for a bathroom or a daring kitchen. The countertop material even has mother of pearl and fossils in it. It would be hard not to relax in a place like this, I can practically smell the salty breeze.
We are loving this acid green color, a glimpse of brightness spring brings. It should be used sparingly: a teapot, throw pillow, piece of art, or an accent wall connecting to the colors outside in the garden. A cheerful touch of this green will brighten any space. Let us know how you made it work in your space. Apple martini anyone?

8th NatWest Jersey Open Bands
Women's Band 2 winner Sanja Clements
Saturday's play at the 8th NatWest Jersey Grand Prix saw the banded events take place and there was no shortage of great play on show at the Geoff Reed Table Tennis Centre.
The Men's Band 1 round-robin was won by Kent's diminutive powerhouse Danny Lawrence with Wales' popular son Ryan Owen deservedly taking the runner-up slot.
Men's Band 2 turned out to be a very tight round-robin affair with it ending in a close count back situation. In the end it was Sussex's Rory Scott who emerged from the field as the winner. Jersey's chopping defender Chris Morshead took the runner-up slot with his losing head-to-head match with Scott proving crucial.
Men's Band 3 ended in an all Jersey final after Max Tupper had survived a five-game thriller against Paralympian David Wetherill whilst Chris Morshead had beaten Adam Feargrieve in a less stressing match 3-0.
Tupper took a 2-1 lead and held two match points before the obdurate chop and superb retrieval of Morshead took the match to a decider. Morshead reached the turn first at change of ends and then kept his nose in front forcing errors with his heavily chopped returns. At 10-9 down Tupper, totally uncharacteristically, served off to gift wrap the title for Morshead.
Men's Band 4 was another round-robin group but two players stood out from the pack at the end. Jersey's 14-year-old, Jordan Wykes, emerged undefeated having shown great mental strength despite being severely tested by his senior opponents. The runner-up place was claimed by London 2012 Paralympian David Wetherill from Cornwall.
Men's Band 5 big entry saw three Jersey players make the semi-finals after the group stages and preliminary knock-out matches. Top seed Jordan Wykes faced Glen Brown whilst Tyler Gosselin faced young Scot, Calum Morrison. Wykes negotiated what could have been a tricky match exceedingly winning 3-0. Gosselin though fought back from 2-0 down against Morrison only to lose agonisingly in the fifth 11-6. In the final Wykes turned up the heat on his Scottish opponent and never let him settle as he raced deservedly to the title 3-0.
Men's Band 6 had another large entry and any number of the players was capable of winning the money. Following the group stages and quarter-finals three Jersey players reached the semis. Luke Greenfield, Tom Marsay and Tyler Gosselin. However, waiting in the second seed slot after winning his group was the talented young Scot Calum Morrison.
Fourteen-year-old Morrison met Marsay in the final after defeating Gosselin in his semi. Once again Morrison played the percentage shots better and deservedly took the title with a 3-1 win.
Women's Band 1 was a high class affair with Guernsey's Alice Loveridge and Dorset's Sanja Clements being joined by Derbyshire's Emma Vickers and Jersey's Kelsey Le Maistre in the semis.
Loveridge was given a stern test by Le Maistre but in the end her greater experience held sway. In the other semi-final Emma Vickers had too much fire power for Sanja Clements securing her berth in the final with a 3-0 win.
In the final, Derbyshire's Vickers was in the ascendency getting to a 2-1 lead but Loveridge's never-say-die attitude was again to the fore as she levelled at 2-2 and then took the decider 11-8.
Women's Band 2 was loaded with experienced players which included the current England No.s 1 and 2 Ladies Veterans players, Sue Collier and Sanja Clements who were also seeded to meet in the final. However, with the injured Collier beaten by Guernsey's Dawn Morgan 12-10 in the fifth it meant that she then had to face Clements in the semi-final.
Morgan's excellent success was short lived though as she exited to Derbyshire's experienced Jane Vickers. The final was superb with Vickers trying to stem Clement's attacking flow but in the end the higher seed battled out the win 3-0.
Women's Band 3 produced a local winner in Sofia Uddnas who was unbeaten in the six-way round-robin with Guernsey's Beth Priest in second place.
Women's Band 4 was also a round-robin which was also won by Jersey player Sofia Uddnas to add to her Band 3 title with France's Carol Milnes the runner-up.

Welcome back to our summer menu for Term 1 2019.
As we follow the Healthy Food and drinks policy and have worked closely with the WA canteen association over the holidays, a few changes have occurred on our menu. Pies and sausage rolls are amber foods and are only available now twice a week.
Please make sure you update your child/children's class on the online School24 system when you log in to place your first order for the year.
We are in DESPERATE need for volunteers for Thursday and Fridays and special event days. There are no set times, whatever you can spare would be much appreciated. Even just serving at the busy recess time would be appreciated. The ongoing operation of the canteen relies heavily upon the assistance of volunteers to ensure it stays open. It would be great to see some new faces, so come in and enjoy a coffee and a chat and your children love to see you at the canteen. Please come past and have a chat with Anna.

Supreme Court Pays Closer Attention to Property Rights Cases
At Greenwire, Lawrence Hurley reports on a very interesting development at the U.S. Supreme Court.
At Greenwire, Lawrence Hurley reports on a very interesting development at the U.S. Supreme Court. He writes:
After several years of paying little attention to property rights -- a darling cause of conservative activists -- the Supreme Court has abruptly changed course.
The justices have agreed to hear two cases this term, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission v. United States and Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management District, that concern the "takings" clause of the Fifth Amendment, which requires the government to compensate property owners when it takes property.
Property rights advocates also had some interest in two cases decided last term that, while not raising takings questions, did focus on broader questions of property rights in relation to government interference. In both, Sackett v. EPA and PPL Montana v. Montana, the property owners won.
The flurry of activity is in stark contrast to previous years. The last time the court heard more than one case on property rights was in the 2004-2005 term.
Read the whole story here.
The Supreme Court heard Arkansas Game & Fish Commission v. U.S. in early October (Koontz isn't scheduled until January) and as I reported here at Reason after attending the oral argument, the federal government's case appeared to be in trouble. The coming months may bring at least one more important Supreme Court victory for property rights.

Spring has finally arrived, which means it's that time to get your household back into shipshape. AO have created some really useful hacks to help with the spring clean, using general products that can be found around the home.
A recent study of 1,000 UK families, conducted by online electricals retailer, AO.com, found that while this month is the most popular month for Brits wanting to do their spring clean, 1 in 10 will not find time in their busy lives to do it, as they opt for more frequent surface cleaning as opposed to a good old spring clean.
So what can we do to make your spring clean easier, speedier and more cost effective? Take a look at these 12 hacks to make this year's spring clean your best one yet.
Use cinnamon to make your home smell sweet – sprinkle 2-3 tbsp.
of cinnamon on a rug or an area of carpet and vacuum up to create a sweet scented home. Perfect for when you have guests coming over.
Lint roll your lampshade – Use a typical clothing lint roller on your delicate lampshades to remove the annoying and stubborn dust that they attract.
Deodorise mattress with baking soda – Sprinkle a baking soda all over your mattress and leave for 1 – 8 hours. Vacuum up excess baking soda to reveal a freshly deodorised mattress.
Clean stainless steel with olive oil – Use a small amount of olive oil on a cloth and wipe over your kitchen stainless steel, removing any stubborn smears and fingerprints and leaving a gleaming finish.
Remove pet hair with rubber gloves – Give your furniture a rub down with a pair of rubber gloves, pet hair will stick to them making it much easier to remove from surfaces.
Use vinegar to clean household taps – wipe dirty taps with cotton wool soaked in vinegar to help remove stains. It also works well at reducing lime scale too.
Oven cleaning with bicarbonate of soda – Simply add bicarbonate of soda to water in a spray bottle to create a cheap but effective cleaning solution, perfect for cleaning stubborn grime in ovens.
Clean plastic toys using a dishwasher – Place children's plastic toys (toys without batteries) in the dishwasher along with your usual detergent or tablet. This will sanitise them ready to be played with again.
Clean sponges in the microwave – Sanitise your household sponges in the microwave. Yes, really! Simply saturate with water and place in the microwave for at least 1 minute. This will help kill any bacteria contained in the sponge.
Clean external surfaces with laundry detergent – Laundry detergent (without bleach) can be used to clean outdoor surfaces such as wood and concrete paving.
Just add to a bucket of water or make a solution for your pressure washer.
Apply shaving foam to your mirror – Not just for your legs, use shaving foam on your mirror and wipe clean with a cloth to remove any smears.
Dishwasher tablets to maintain your washing machine – every so often, add a dishwasher tablet to an empty cycle at 60 degrees. This will help kill any bacteria living in the hidden parts of the drum and should prevent lime scale too.
Happy spring cleaning Housetohomies. Let us know how you get on!

I want to write more about The Economist cover for 2015, which I have previously discussed. Please click here and look at it for reference.
The Economist is among the English-speaking world's most influential current affairs and policy journals. It must be noted that the globally influential, Rothschild banking family is among its ownership group.
Therefore, when The Economist prints a cover as highly symbolic as it did just a few weeks ago, it is reasonable to assume that the globally influential banking powers, including the Rothschilds, intend to send a coded message to their elite readership and to the informed part of the world that is "in the know."
So what happened just after The Economist published this esoteric magazine cover?
Why, the so-called Islamist terror attacks in France, that's what. There was a horrific mass murder at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, and another killing at a Jewish market in eastern Paris.
Many commentators, including me, view these attacks as a classic false flag operation, in which the alleged assailants were very likely disposable, throw-away patsies, that were first viciously used and then violently discarded by their shadowy intelligence agency handlers. I say that because all of the alleged perpetrators were shot dead by the police within mere days. Since dead men tell no tales, the "official" police account of what happened rules the day.
But I think we can safely assume there was some sort of Rothschild involvement. After the attack at Charlie Hebdo's offices, there were reports in the European press that the next issue was printed at the offices of Libération, a Parisian newspaper which had been purchased just one month prior by -- wait for it -- a member of the Rothschild family, Édouard baron de Rothschild. Moreover, a newspaper that was previously printing 30,000 copies, in just one week, after its editorial staff was shot dead, somehow managed to put out a new issue, with a print run of 7 million copies!
That only happens if there are very powerful hands working behind the scenes, making things happen on a huge scale. In a word, the fix is in. Things were prepared in advance by those who knew what was going to occur.
None of this surprises me, because, you see, the satanic, Rothschild, global banking faction had already telegraphed their maneuver in advance, with the symbolism on The Economist's cover.
Look at French President, François Hollande, who is standing in the second row of world leaders. Just to his left is a woman with a strange, winged headdress, looking fixedly at him.
Bingo! That is the Rothschilds' calling card, their weird way of telling Hollande that they have plans for France and that he had better watch out.
Let me explain. Please click this link and look at the headdresses and masks from a Rothschild family sponsored soirée, or Illuminati party, as it were, that was held in 1972 at the Château de Ferrières just outside of Paris. I don't even want to know what some of the photos mean.
If you have seen the 1999 film, Eyes Wide Shut, by Stanley Kubrick, then you will understand that his film was very likely alluding to the sort of 1972 "party" at the Rothschilds' French mansion that you can see in the link above.
The woman with the winged headdress who is staring at President Hollande could have stepped right out of the 1972 Rothschild "party."
The occult, hidden, shadowy, stealthy movers and shakers and backstabbers and cut-throat billionaires and so-called "ruling elites" that are dragging the world down to ruin are the very people who frequent these Illuminati "parties."
It is with this subtext that French President Hollande remarked a few days afterward that the so-called "terror" attacks in Paris were carried out by the "Illuminés" (French for the Illuminati).
His security forces undoubtedly quickly pieced together an evidence trail that is similar to what I have laid out for you here and presented the case to him. President Hollande knows exactly what he is up against: an internationally entrenched, massively well funded, diabolical, Hydra-headed monster that will commit any atrocity, that will murder any one person, or even wage wars that kill millions of people, in order to maintain its stranglehold on power and force humanity deeper under its violent subjugation and control.
For my money you can probably look for agencies such as the CIA, Mossad, the French "Piscine" and maybe MI-6 to be the first, violent level behind the ugly events in Paris. But they are ultimately just the pawns of the Rothschilds and allied factions. The higher-ups in those espionage organizations receive their own instructions from shadowy players who pull their strings. Kill or be killed, that is how that world operates. It is vicious.
And I mean anything. Look again at The Economist cover. Look at the nuclear mushroom cloud billowing out of the top of the head of David Cameron, the current British Prime Minister. Just beside him is Winston Churchill, the WW-II-era British Prime Minister, giving his famous "V for Victory" salute; however his glove is torn open and it looks like only the middle finger is raised -- resulting in a not-so-veiled "middle finger salute," of the "f*** you" variety.
Churchill also has something roaring out of the top of his head -- a rocket that looks like it is carrying a spy satellite payload, or perhaps a clandestine nuclear warhead, disguised as a "spy" satellite? Does Churchill represent the Old Guard in the British power establishment, say MI-6 and MI-5, or maybe Buckingham Palace, and Cameron the New Guard? Does this mean there has been a meeting of the minds and of the political generations in the British power establishment and they plan to unleash nuclear hell, maybe one or more nuclear false flags? The nuclear mushroom cloud and "spy" satellite rocket are both roaring up out of the tops of two British Prime Ministers' heads. Is that code for: the coming events have been authorized at the highest level of the British political establishment? Number 10 Downing Street? Buckingham Palace? The Secret Intelligence Service, MI-6, also referred to as SIS?
You know, Rule, Britannia!, God save the Queen!- and all that City of London, No. 10 Downing Street, Scotland Yard, House of Windsor, Eton and Oxford, "I say old chap" horse sh*t.
And now that I have mentioned it, how can you and I help but notice that on the game board on the lower left hand side of the Economist cover are the words, PANIC at the very top, and Federal Reserve, as well as the beginning of a word that starts with "Chi..", which presumably refers to China, since it is partially obscured by the right arm of the muscular panda bear that is clearly a representation of growing Chinese power and influence. But what if the word is really "Chicago" and not China? We don't know. We cannot see. And at the bottom of the game board are the words, Green Light! and ...SIS.
Has the SIS (MI-6) been given the Green Light! to carry out a major operation? Has the Green Light! come from the very top of the British political establishment? Does it have something to do with a Federal Reserve PANIC? Might Chicago be involved? Might a nuclear mushroom cloud be involved? We'll find out.
There are lots of clues, lots of data points. Connecting them up is another matter.
Actually, here I am referring to the point of the two arrows that are impaled in the ground at Alice's feet, at the lower right of The Economist cover. Talk about telegraphing your message.
One arrow is boldly painted with 11.5 and the other with 11.3. That's easy enough. In European format, these are the dates March 11 and May 11.
"3/11 has some of the most violent astro I have ever seen. PLUS has a signature of something like a nuke accident. 5/11 has something similar but not quite as violent. I see things as scripted and is intended to give the fundies the Armageddon they so desire."
Being as the arrows are deeply impaled directly at Alice's feet (Alice being the Alice of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland fame) this can plausibly be interpreted to mean that the Rothschilds and the rest of the Illuminati/ZioNazi-Anglosphere/Central Bankster/Fortune 500/Wall Street/ City of London/EU/NATO/Mossad-CIA-MI-6-"Piscine"-BND Alphabet Soup Agency Fascists have firm plans to take us all straight down the rabbit hole.
I am surprised The Economist didn't put Alice's white rabbit there someplace, though they do have the Cheshire cat grinning at us, perched on a tree branch that is growing out from behind Barack Obama's leg.
Isn't that encouraging? You have to wonder what the Puppet-in-Chief of the USSA has up his sleeve, or perhaps down his pants leg.
The next thing you notice is that there is a man wearing virtual reality goggles standing just behind Barack Obama. He is looking at Barack Obama.
The goggles he is wearing are Oculus virtual reality goggles. Development Kit 2.
The meaning of this is obvious. Everything that you see coming will be a MIRAGE. It will be a second, FAKE reality. Let's call it "virtual" Reality Number 2. It is under development now.
Virtual reality is not real. It is FAKE, artificial, MADE UP.
So, when you see the "coming attractions" transpire on the global stage, remember that what you are seeing is all staged, it's made to happen, the events are rigged. People may die, maybe even in extremely large numbers, but the official story that we will be given for it will be FAKE. The reasons for it all will be false, contrived, deceptive, not true.
A macabre, grim, hyper-violent, virtual reality has been superimposed on "real" reality.
Real reality has been hijacked and we are in for a bumpy ride.
Barack Obama -- The Mother of All Virtual Reality Mind-F*ck(er)s. What you see is not what he really is.
And the Master of Ceremonies Is ..
Conspicuously front and center is a green tortoise crawling on the floor, looking right at us.
Isn't that special? An autographed painting. The malevolent entities behind this work of art signed their name!
An influential British establishment think tank, the Fabian Society, has as its symbol, a tortoise, that very closely resembles the tortoise on The Economist cover.
Notice the Fabian Society's motto: "WHEN I STRIKE, I STRIKE HARD." That's clear enough.
Among the Fabian Society's goals are a "commitment to British imperialism as a progressive and modernizing force."
Think: SIS (MI-6). ISIS. Men in black ski masks chopping off heads. There's your British imperial civilizing influence.
Think: nuclear mushroom cloud billowing out of the top of the head of David Cameron, the British Prime Minister.
So when you see the things happen that are now in the pipeline, when you see them STRIKE HARD, understand that you are seeing the reality of the Illuminati/ZioNazi-Anglosphere/Rothschild/Windsor/Central Bankster/Fortune 500/Wall Street/City of London/EU/NATO/Mossad-CIA-MI-6-"Piscine"-BND Alphabet Soup Agency Fascists. You are seeing the cringe inducing reality of the Windsors, of MI-6, of Whitehall, of Eton. And it's all "veddy prawpah" sh*t from the pits of hell.
I have a lot of readers in Britain. Dig it and grok it. Probably you already have. I hope so.
How can you possibly justify your part in this dark insanity that is taking the whole planet down, and the human race with it? How can you be so blind?
