Treasury consults on ASIC funding model
The federal government has released the draft legislation on the second phase of ASIC's fee-for-service funding model for public consultation.
The new fees-for-service model will see prices for "activities such as processing a licence application … revised to reflect ASIC's actual costs," said a statement from Minister for Revenue and Financial Services Kelly O'Dwyer.
Treasury consulted the public about ASIC's new industry funding model in November 2017 and since then developed draft legislation and explanatory materials that are now open to the public for consultation.
According to the exposure draft explanatory statement, ASIC's fees for granting market licences and dealing with potential conflict will jump by 251 per cent.
"The hourly rate will increase from $70 to $175.95, to closely reflect the costs ASIC incurs," the explanatory statement said.
Commenting on the release of the draft legislation for consultation, Ms O'Dwyer said an industry funding model was a "critical component" of reforms to strengthen ASIC.
"Industry funding ensures that the costs of regulation are borne by those that have created the need for it, rather than the Australian public," Ms O'Dwyer said.
"These proposed amendments allow ASIC to better align its fees, by enabling ASIC to charge a cost reflective fee for the services it provides for a specific entity."
The consultation period will end on 24 April for bills-related documents and 1 May for regulation-related documents.

Resources Perspectives Blog 2017-08 Swimming Away the Pain
Swimming Away the Pain
What would you look for when searching for the right senior living community? Riva Gruenberg had only one requirement on her list: a swimming pool. She was overjoyed to learn about the heated, saltwater pool at Folkestone, a PHS community located in Wayzata, MN. She moved in four months ago, and without hesitation, dove in to a new swimming regimen with the help of Folkestone's Wellness Team.
Her priority is understandable. Thirty years ago, Riva needed a way to help ease the pain from her arthritis. Being a lover of water, her doctor suggested swimming as a mechanism for easing her discomfort. As an opportunity to do an activity she enjoyed while relieving her arthritis side effects, Riva began swimming the backstroke. Arriving in the wee hours of the morning, Riva would spend every day swimming at her local health club. During her time in the pool, thanks to her son-in-law, Riva would listen to her favorite music. Equipped with waterproof headphones, she would swim laps listening to the tunes of John Williams, Big Band, and Classical.
Her passion for swimming, coupled with its therapeutic benefits, made her decision to move to Folkestone an easy one.
Riva's love for the water goes way back. A native born Minnesotan, she grew up in north Minneapolis wading in the waters of Lake Harriett and Lake Calhoun. As a student at Lincoln Jr. High, Riva vividly remembers the day her teacher pushed her, and her fellow peers, into the swimming pool, "you really learned how to swim fast" she said. After that, she sought out opportunities to swim in the pool, and remembers how rare indoor pools were at the time.
As an adult, Riva met and married her husband, Bud. The couple remained close to her childhood neighborhood in north Minneapolis and settled in St. Louis Park, MN. There they raised four children. During this time, her desire to swim never faded and when health issues arose, she used swimming to help ease the pain.
Now at Folkestone, Riva was introduced to Kathy Kmetz, Wellness Director, who has played an integral role in maintaining Riva's daily swim schedule. As long as she was feeling up to it, Kathy planned daily half hour private swim sessions. "I had the opportunity to work one-on-one with Riva in the pool, doing relaxation therapy, personal training to incorporate some Arthritis Aquatics, and offer companionship" Kathy shared. "Riva was really great to work with and really enjoyed being in the water," she said.
Recently, Riva's health issues have required her to cease her daily dips in the pool. Despite this change, she reflects fondly on her nearly 30 year swim career and the countless early mornings spent swimming backstroke up and down the pool lane. For Riva, choosing Folkestone as her home began with one requirement, so what is the one thing you want to find in a senior living community? Contact a PHS community and we will help you find it.

National Broadband Availability Map
Thu, June 04, 2020
Click here [4] for the latest information.
NTIA received funding from Congress in 2018 to update the National Broadband Availability Map (NBAM) in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Congress directed NTIA to acquire and utilize data from available third party datasets. NTIA built upon existing partnerships to identify data from federal, state, local and tribal governments, owners and operators of broadband networks, educational institutions, nonprofits, and cooperatives to create the map.
NBAM:
The NBAM is a GIS platform used to visualize and analyze federal, state, and commercial broadband data sets. This includes data from the FCC, U.S. Census Bureau, Universal Service Administrative Company, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Ookla, Measurement Lab, and the state governments. Users, including administrators from 22 participating states, access the NBAM mapping platform and use these data resources to better inform broadband projects and funding decisions in their states.
Updated Information on Participating States:
On July 23, 2020, NTIA announced the addition of two states to its National Broadband Availability Map (NBAM) program. Indiana and Georgia join 20 other states who are partnering on this critical broadband data platform. These states include California, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. With this addition, the NBAM is another step closer to creating a national platform that can help inform policymakers and expand Internet coverage across the United States.

1 And it came to pass many days after the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
3 and ye have seen all that the LORD your God has done with all these Gentiles in your presence; for the LORD your God has fought for you.
4 Behold, I have divided unto you as inheritance unto your tribes all these Gentiles, those that remain as well as those that are destroyed, from the Jordan unto the great sea towards the going down of the sun.
5 And the LORD your God, shall expel them from before you and drive them from out of your presence; and ye shall possess their lands, as the LORD your God has promised unto you.
9 For the LORD has driven out from before you great and strong Gentiles; and until now no one has been able to stand before your face.
10 One man of you has chased a thousand; for the LORD your God, he himself has fought for you, as he has promised you.
11 Therefore take heed for your souls that ye love the LORD your God.
13 know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no longer drive out any of these Gentiles from before you, but they shall be snares and traps unto you and scourges in your sides and thorns in your eyes until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
14 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spoke concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing has failed thereof.
16 when ye shall transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, going in and serving other gods and bowing yourselves to them. And the anger of the LORD shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given unto you.


The hum of the of the avocado IBM Selectric typewriter and the whir of its patented spinning metal typeball filled the paneled office. I had never been here before, I was a stranger in a strange land. I was nine, and the school system was about to exact its first, terrible vengeance on me.
My name had barely been audible through the intercom speaker. The request had to be repeated twice before the teacher understood, and once more to make sure they were asking for the right student. When the click sounded to end the transmission, a prolonged silence had gripped the classroom. They all wanted to know what I had done. I had felt the weight of their curiosity on my shoulders as I stood from my chair and left.
I had felt small. The hallway seemed longer, taller, wider. I felt the panic in my chest, the thump of my heart against my ribcage. Every step I had taken had increased my anxiety. The world had become vivid, every edge more defined and sharper. I remember passing the water fountain, where a younger student had soaked her shirt. I remember the annoyance on her face.
I remember passing the music room, and the jangle of tambourines ringing in unison. After an eternity, the door to the school office finally came into view, and I had barely contained my terror, barely managed to overcome my need to run. An electric thrill had run through my body as my fingers closed on the doorknob. My heart had stopped when I twisted it open.
The secretary directed me to an orange plastic chair with a smile full of fake sympathy. Her eyes betrayed her, said she'd seen them come, and seen them go and it made no difference to her. As I sat and waited, I strained to decipher the low murmurs from behind the closed door to the principal's office over the click-click of fingernails on typewriter keys.
A sudden peace came over me as I opened the door. No matter what I had done, no matter what happened to me, I would be me. Nobody could ever take that away. My mother and father were in the office. After a brief moment of panic, I noticed they were both smiling. Mr. Ford was also smiling as he invited me to take a seat and began to explain why I was there.
After a grade three year of perfect attendance and perfect marks, a year of being sent to my sister's grade seven classroom to read because the grade three books were too simple, I would proceed directly into grade five at the beginning of next school year.
I would be one of those rare children to never attend grade four.
I had to do both grades 2 and 3 in the same year. No skipping for me.


Hi everyone, Yvonne here with an easy to make dimensional spring card! With the dark days we have in January, I long for spring which inspired me to make this warm and colorful card. I used soft but happy colors and with a flower die cut background…yep…Spring is in the Air!
Dimensions are so easy to add to your artwork, simply by using 3D Foam Circles White Mix or 3D Foam Squares Small Size. Let me show you how, along with adding glitter at the same time. Let's get in the mood for Spring!
Making that Spring Card Colorful!
To make the background of the card and a card panel, start with coloring a sheet of white cardstock with ink pads and an ink blending tool. Use happy spring colors. Make sure that your white cardstock is large enough for a card panel and a sentiment banner. Trim your card panel to fit the card base, leaving about 1/4-inch border all around. Set aside with the extra inked cardstock piece.
First die-cut a Flower Background from white cardstock and turn it around with the back facing up. Add 3D Foam Circles White Mix to the center of the flowers but keep the liners on for now. Some of the centers might be larger so I used 3D Foam Squares Small Size.
Designer's Tip: use the leftover 3D Foam liner sheet to put under your work as a non-stick mat and to protect your work space. Yep…these back liners come in handy so do not throw them away!
Next, turn your die-cut around facing front to sprinkle gold glitter onto the flower centers. Rub the glitter onto the centers to secure and tap the excess glitter off. To help remove the excess, I suggest also using a brush.
Die-cut Spring out of gold mirror cardstock. Hand cut a banner shape with white cardstock, using the spring die cut as a guide. Then adhere the word onto the banner with the Dual Tip Glue Pen. Adhere the banner to the piece of inked cardstock from step 1 with the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. Lastly, trim it to a size slightly larger than the banner as shown in the image and adhere with the E-Z Runner® Grand.

India's Ashwin ready to 'bore' and succeed against Windies
MUMBAI - The slowness of the tracks in West Indies has convinced India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin that the only way to succeed in the four-test series is by being "as boring as possible". The 29-year-old will spearhead a relatively young Indian attack which also includes leg-spinner Amit Mishra and spinning all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. "From whatever I saw in the last game, the wickets are pretty slow," Ashwin told the Indian cricket board website. "I will have to be prepared for a long haul and try and be as boring as possible, in terms of trying to plug away all day long. "If the wickets are going to be tailormade for us and starts spinning, we'd come into our own. It's all about patience." India play a second tour match in St Kitts before moving to Antigua for the first test from next Thursday, while Jamaica, Gros Islet and Trinidad host the subsequent matches. Ashwin, who was part of the Indian team that won a tri-nation series in the Caribbean in 2013, does not expect much assistance from any of the surfaces. "The first couple of days, probably even three days of the test match, there's not going to be a lot in it for the spinners," said Ashwin, who has played 32 tests for India, taking 176 wickets. "There might be a little bit of bounce or little bit of slowness in the wicket that you can exploit, but it's got to be pretty boring lines and lengths and keep teasing with your flight. We're pretty much ready for it." Ashwin takes "a lot of pride" in being the leader of the pack and said he has learnt quite a lot since former spinner Anil Kumble took over as the new India coach last month. "He has brought in a lot of energy and meticulousness," Ashwin said of the former India captain who begins his year-long tenure with the West Indies tour. "He has already started bowling in the nets, which is something I pick out notes from. So far, he has provided me with a lot of confidence and a lot of responsibility. "It's been more of giving me the license to try and express myself, which is something I really relish." -Reuters

Saradomin/History
< Saradomin
This article relates to the history of Saradomin.
Before ascending, Saradomin was originally a justicar on Teragard.[1] He had a family, including a wife and at least one daughter.[2] While tracking a criminal one day, he happened upon a cave that he claimed had never been explored by humans before. There, he found the Crown Archival, although this did not immediately cause his ascension to godhood. He used its powers to find other Elder Artefacts and with them, he reshaped Teragard by reforming its governments.[3] Previously, Teragard was a world of many nations, with unending conflicts over territory. Saradomin ended this by choosing twelve magisters and teaching them his philosophy. Each was chosen to govern a different part of the world and through their governance, Saradomin claims that Teragard prospered in a golden age.[4] Eventually, he states that he no longer needed the artefacts as the power became innate, and at this point he took his place as the god of Teregard.[5]
Jagex had stated he is one of the earliest gods to ascend, and is the current oldest living god.[6]. Afterward, Saradomin looked to other worlds and started introducing humans to new realms, making them a rather common species to encounter in the Multiverse.[7][8] Saradomin does not have many known human followers that are known not to be native to Gielinor, though there is one known faction, that is known to come from Britain. It is unknown if Britain is part of the original human realm, or is part of one of the multiple realms humans live in.
Saradomin also highly favours the Icyene, a race of winged humanoids who are among his most faithful and devoted servants. They are also among his most powerful weapons of war. It is unknown when Saradomin first encountered the Icyene. However he has considerable influence on their homeworld, and it is often considered his bastion of power, and home outside of Gielinor.
Naragi God Wars
" The ruin I brought to the Naragi is my greatest shame. Civilisations have risen and fallen, and still the actions of my past haunt me. And so they should, for regret begets wisdom, and I have much to regret. "
— Saradomin on the Naragi.
The ruined remains of the Naragi world with a seemingly Saradominist symbol.
Sometime after Saradomin's ascent to godhood, he arrived to the Naragi realm via a portal in their city of Askroth. He was the first god to arrive on the realm, and was welcomed by Naragi diviners. Saradomin, thinking that his possession of the Crown Archival granted him the right to rule them, demanded that they worship him,[9] however, the Naragi refused. In a fit of rage, Saradomin grew to the size of a mountain and razed the city, being described as a "blue giant" by the terrified refugees[10]. After this, he built a gigantic white fortress on Askroth's ruins and assembled an army and began to march it across the countryside. Guthix, who was a mortal at that time, took care of some of the refugees, and he and the rest of his race became terrified of Saradomin. Some of the Naragi created armies of their own in an attempt to fight off Saradomin, but they were unsuccessful. [11]
Other gods soon followed Saradomin to the realm. Saradomin, now regretting his actions, stayed and fought the newly arrived gods in an attempt to protect the Naragi.[12] The first of these gods, a gigantic boar-like creature known as Tuska attacked Saradomin's fortress and the two gods dueled one another[13]. The victor of this battle is unknown, but eventually, Saradomin had failed and left the realm altogether while Tuska and other gods such as Skargaroth remained.[14] The Naragi God Wars would eventually leave the realm shattered and completely uninhabitable. The Naragi race would be driven to near extinction, with its sole survivor, Guthix, who had achieved godhood, leaving the realm and wandering the multiverse for centuries. Many thousands of years later, Guthix and Saradomin would cross paths again, under quite different circumstances.
Arrival on Gielinor
" Gielinor is a precious jewel in the looted treasury of the cosmos. "
— Saradomin
Saradomin arrived on Gielinor in the Second Age, arriving via a portal on the island of Entrana, a site the Law Altar was later built on, and like many other gods at the time, began to conquer the land. Saradomin likely came to Gielinor in search of the many Elder god artefacts that resided on the planet. However he would come to develop a personal connection with the pristine plane, as can be seen by the quote above, and started to desire it for himself. Saradomin's biggest known settlement at that time was the country of Hallowvale. Its capital was a mighty city inhabited by Icyene and humans, which still exists today under the name of Meiyerditch.
At some point, Saradomin was involved in a war with Zaros, a god who ruled the largest empire in the entire Second Age. Near the end of the age, Zaros' Mahjarrat general Zamorak started to make plans to overthrow his master. Many of his fellow Mahjarrat sided with him, and Saradomin sent spies to Zamorak's base of operations in order to keep an eye on him.
Bandos fights Saradomin during the God Wars.
When the Staff of Armadyl, an extremely powerful artefact owned by the god Armadyl, was taken by a Saradomin follower named Valdez, he wanted to take the artefact to Saradomin. However, through a series of unfortunate and accidental actions which some Saradominists played a role in, the staff fell into Zamorak's hands instead. With the power of the staff, Zamorak challenged Zaros in combat, which led to Zaros' banishment. Zamorak, who absorbed some of Zaros' power, was allegedly banished by Saradomin and the other gods for "killing one of their own".
Gielinorian God Wars
After Zaros' banishment, many of his followers sided with Zamorak, and Saradomin quickly took the opportunity to confiscate the Stone of Jas from the banished Zamorak, placing it in a cave beneath Forinthry. Soon, however, Zamorak returned, and in an attempt to reclaim the Stone, he declared war on those that had banished him. Saradomin was one of the most active gods of the god wars, fighting against the armies of Zamorak, who turned into his worst enemy. Many Icyene left their home plane in order to fight for their god. Many humans aligned to Saradomin as well a faction of dwarves, who did not hide underground.[15] In addition, Saradomin bought a goblin tribe from Bandos: the Saragorgak. Entrana remained in Saradomin's hands during the wars. Saradomin claimed most victories in the areas of modern-day Asgarnia and Misthalin.
Saradomin uses the Stone of Jas to revive Commander Zilyana.
The other gods, including Saradomin, wanted to conquer the lands Zaros once ruled. Many battles were held mainly in Forinthry; because of its many resources many gods wanted control over it. The remaining Zarosian settlements were destroyed or captured by Saradominists and Zamorakian forces, and they occasionally teamed up to get rid of Zarosians, such as during their imprisonment of Azzanadra, champion of Zaros, in Jaldraocht Pyramid. In the end, Senntisten and Ghorrock were the only settlements to survive the many attacks of Saradomin and Zamorak, making them the last Zarosian settlements of that time. Senntisten eventually fell after a joint effort between the Zamorakians and Saradominists to destroy it after Azzandra's imprisonment, despite attempts of Wahisietel to make the Saradominists and Zamorakians fight each other and save the city. He failed and the once-capital of the Zarosian empire was evacuated and destroyed.
However, as much as Saradomin fought against Zamorak, he couldn't prevent him from claiming Hallowvale, then ruled by Queen Efaritay and her husband Ascertes, which eventually fell to the vampyre lord Drakan, backed by an army granted by Zamorak in exchange for helping him overthrow Zaros. Many Icyene, which were Saradomin's strongest tools of war, were wiped out during the battles.
In an effort to destroy Zamorak, Saradomin called Armadyl and Bandos together to create the godsword, a very powerful artefact which was believed to be able to kill a god. Saradomin gathered a last battalion to fight Zamorak's forces, and the aviantese of Armadyl were charged with the task of delivering the godsword to this army. But they were ambushed by Zamorak's forces while Saradomin's army was attacked as well. The aviantese retreated into a Saradominist temple which is today the god wars dungeon, and Saradomin and Bandos sent their forces into the dungeon to aid the aviantese. It was during this time that one of the strongest champions of Zaros, Nex, was aroused from her enchanted sleep after Sliske manipulated some people to perform an awakening ritual. Laying waste to vast numbers of followers from all sides, Nex, while weakened from her slumber, was nearly unstoppable along with her army. Soon, all the gods united forces in a temporary alliance and trapped Nex behind a frozen door inside a prison.
Zamorak destroys the entire Forinthry, causing much death, destruction and bloodshed.
Guthix banishes Saradomin from Gielinor, along with the other gods.
At the climax of the God Wars, Zamorak seized the Stone of Jas. He used it to enhance his powers and destroyed the entire region of Forinthry, which is today called the Wilderness. After that, Guthix awoke from his slumber due to the booming and massive destruction above and immediately put an end to the God wars. He took a gigantic sword, smashed it in the middle of Forinthry as a demonstration of his immense power and created his Edicts, which banished all the major gods of Gielinor. They could still slightly affect Gielinor while not being on it however. After being banished, Saradomin retreated to Hallow, where he focused on building his relationship with the Icyene, all the while looking for other ways back onto Gielinor.[16]
The Death of Guthix
Following the events of The World Wakes, Saradomin is once again able to walk on Gielinor. He teleported to Gielinor immediately after Guthix' death, being the first major god to arrive since the Edicts of Guthix were broken, and took Commander Zilyana with him to make preparations for when the other gods will be entering Gielinor.
At that point, he significantly changed his appearance with new robes and new hair. Seeing that Elder Artefacts shape themselves to better suit their user, the Crown Archival also morphed into its current form.[17]
Battle of Lumbridge
Saradomin attacks Zamorak
" Zamorak. I cannot allow you to continue. "
Saradomin arriving to battle Zamorak
A few months after Guthix's death, a mysterious portal materialised in the forested area west of Lumbridge, drawing people from all across the world in their curiosity. Following several stages of development, the mystery of the portal was finally solved when, after millennia just outside of the world, Zamorak emerged - the second god to return to Gielinor - intent on harvesting the remnants of Guthix's power that had accumulated in the area. Saradomin, however, was able to sense his old foe's arrival, and quickly teleported to the site of all the commotion. Growing to enormous size, Saradomin vowed to stop his nemesis and harvest the remnants of Guthix's power for himself, prompting the two deities to clash for the first time in centuries.
The resulting battle obliterated the rest of the forest and caused some moderate damage to Lumbridge Castle, creating a massive crater in their place. But despite this devastation, it quickly became apparent to the two gods that they could not overcome one another. Determining that one would have to supplement their powers with the divine tears found in the newly-made crater for a victor to be found, Saradomin and Zamorak erected structures on their respective sides of the battlefield and summoned in human followers to battle each other for control of the tears, led by a general chosen by the gods themselves. As Zamorak teleported Moia, the Mahjarrat half-breed daughter of Lucien, Saradomin summoned an Icyenic commander known as Padomenes to aid his efforts. He also brought in many White Knights, having made a deal with their leader Sir Amik Varze to receive troops from him.[18] Zamorak, on the other hand, called forth a battalion of Kinshra soldiers. With the first charge of their forces, the Battle of Lumbridge began.
Saradomin became locked in a struggle with Zamorak whilst his followers sought to strengthen him with the divine tears, so that he could defeat his rival.
In the end, Saradomin's followers prevailed in collecting more tears than the Zamorakians, thus allowing Saradomin to overpower and wound Zamorak. However, before a final victory could be had over the god of chaos, Moia teleported away with Zamorak. With no further use of the battlefield, Saradomin, now harnessing the power of Guthixian energy, teleports away presumably in pursuit of Zamorak. Both their followers peacefully dispersed soon after.
Obtaining the Wand of Resurrection
The following takes place during The Death of Chivalry.
Saradomin introduces himself.
Saradomin arriving at the Monastery.
During Death of Chivalry, Saradomin himself appears at the Edgeville Monastery in front of the Adventurer and Sir Owen in order to send them on a mission to retrieve an artefact from the Black Knights' Fortress. Saradomin explains that his form in front of them is just a physical manifestation, and his true form is facing off against Zamorak outside Lumbridge.
Saradomin also goes on to explain that the events in the Naragi Homeworld is his greatest shame. He was young and had just been blessed with great power, as he describes it, and in his arrogance, didn't believe that people would refuse to follow him. When the Naragi diviners angered him, he destroyed their city but regretted doing so afterwards, and tried to make amends by defending the Naragi from Tuska and Skargaroth, but was defeated. He says that he feels sorrow and regret over what happened there, and that not doing so would be unwise, for there is wisdom to be had in knowing when one has done wrong.
After retrieving the Wand of Resurrection and slaying Dawn, Saradomin himself appears at the scene, and asks the Adventurer to give him the Wand. If the Adventurer refuses, or chooses to destroy the Wand, Saradomin gets frustrated and takes the Wand by force. Saradomin resurrects Sir Owen using the wand, but Sir Owen's body is partially corrupted as Saradomin was deemed as unworthy for wielding the Wand. Saradomin also keeps the Wand, promising Sir Owen that he will give him the Wand if he is not filled with corruption the next time they meet.
If the Adventurer chooses to give the Wand willingly, Sir Owen is resurrected but his body is filled with corruption. However, Saradomin decides to give the Wand to Sir Owen.
Sliske's Grand Ascendancy
The following takes place during Missing, Presumed Death.
Saradomin was one of the gods who were invited to "Sliske's Grand Ascendancy" at the Empyrean Citadel, where Sliske claimed he would ascend to godhood. This was merely a ruse, however, and his true purpose of bringing the gods together was to announce that he would be holding a contest for the Stone of Jas, which he claimed to have obtained. He claimed he would give the Stone of Jas to the entity to kill the most gods. Saradomin was horrified at this, and warned Sliske that the Stone is not a toy, and would cause another God War. He, along with Zamorak, Bandos, and Armadyl teleported when Sliske released the Dragonkin Strisath, whom he had captured.
Sliske's Endgame
On 17 December 2016, an eclipse happened. Saradomin was the second god to reappear after it, and could be found on his throne in the White Knights' Castle in Falador. It was revealed that he has a daughter named Adrasteia, being held hostage by Seren and Zaros to use as a bargaining chip if he were to win the Stone of Jas.

To bring an end to pointless conflicts over invisible territorial lines that serve no one. I created magisters...priests and teachers who were to act as my authority where I could not. They were learned individuals whom I would personally instruct on what lessons to teach others. I created twelve in total, each tasked with governing a different part of the world, and each given a mandate to improve humanity in line with my teachings. With the magisters in place, my people prospered, and entered a glorious age of enlightenment."

The NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety (NGC) is the most widely held health and safety qualification in the UK. It will provide you with a broad understanding of key health & safety issues and is the first step in building your career.
Learn how to assist in the planning, implementation and review of an organisations health & safety policy.


Internet resources provide us with amazing power for innovation. For example, we have the ability to simulate earthquakes with great precision and thus stimulate new building approaches for greater safety; quality (and sometimes just fun) video production is in the hands of the masses (e.g., YouTube), and there is the broad availability of Internet interfaces that engender "mashups" across major platforms such as GoogleMaps (here's one that shows the "walkability" of your neighborhood).
However, these technologies are also relatively abstract. They are available for our use – but will we think to use them? A computer is just a dark screened paperweight until it's turned on. Does that trigger your thinking for innovation the same way a physical object would? Would the Houston engineers of Apollo 13 "Houston, we've had a problem" fame been as likely to find a jury-rig solution to fit a square carbon dioxide filter in a hole for a round one if they'd had to imagine the objects the astronauts had rather than having access to physical duplicates?
People are generally lazy – or perhaps "efficient" -- even with just their thinking. Louis and Sutton called this "habits of mind". We have to trigger new understanding if we want to spur on innovation.
I'm getting to my question of the day. Think about the Amazon Kindle eBook, recently promo'd by Oprah and so apparently moving into the mainstream. Electronic presentation of written material has been around for a long time. Yet only recently are we seeing electronic textbooks in significant use. We don't see people reading books on more general use laptops. The University of Texas is running a pilot project where students get their textbooks via the Amazon Kindle eBook. Is it the physical nature of the eBook that will make the difference regarding people reading electronically versus on paper? The outcomes may extreme: smaller backpacks, smaller bookstores, no "used" textbook sales.
The physical existence of the eBook (and certainly the improved quality of the text in the high-end models) may be playing a triggering role. Sony seems to understand the role of physical objects in changing perspectives. Their Sony PRS-700 eBook is being introduced by 1000 specially trained sales people in 3000 physical stores. They say this is important as people changed their minds about being "uninterested" in reading eBooks after physically being exposed to the product.
Do we need physical objects to help along otherwise abstract innovations? What other examples do we have?

Q: How do I enumerate all of the html id's in a document with javascript? I would like to be able to use javascript to find every id (or name) for every object in an html document so that they can be printed at the bottom of the page.
To understand more fully what I'm trying to accomplish, let me explain. I build large forms from time to time for things such as property applications, rental listings, detailed medical website user registration forms and such. As I do it now, I build the form, assign the id's and names and decide which values are required and such. Then when I build the php form validation and database insert portion for the form, I've been manually going through the html and pulling out all of the id's to reference from the $_post array for the input validation and database insert. This has been very time consuming and a real pain, often laced with typing errors.
The form I'm working on currently is just too big, and I'd much rather write a javascript function that I can run on my local copy of the page to list all of the id's so that I don't have to copy and paste them one by one, or write them down. I could then also use the javascript loop to event print out the php code around the id names so that I'd only have to copy the list and lightly edit out the id's I dodn't need... I hope you guys get the idea.
Any suggestions on how I can drop all of the id's into an array, or if there is already an array I can access and loop through (I couldn't find anything on google). Also, any suggestions for how to speed up the process of producing large forms with a work flow that generates the php or makes it quicker than my current method would be greatly appreciated!

A: Get all tags with the wildcard:
var allElements = document.getElementsByTagName('*');
for(var i = 0; i < allElements.length; i++) {
    // ensure the element has an Id that is not empty and does exist
    // and string other than empty, '', will return true
    allElements[i].id && console.log(allElements[i].id);
}

A: The jQuery selector $('[id]') will get all the elements with an id attribute:
$('[id]').each(function () {
    do_something(this.id);
});

Working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/RichieHindle/yzMjJ/2/

A: On modern browsers you can do this via
document.querySelectorAll('*[id]')

should do the job.
If you need all descendants of myElement with IDs, then do
myElement.querySelectorAll('*[id]')

If you want to be really careful to exclude , then maybe
document.querySelectorAll('*[id]:not([id=""])')

If compatibility with older browsers is required
var allElements = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
var allIds = [];
for (var i = 0, n = allElements.length; i < n; ++i) {
  var el = allElements[i];
  if (el.id) { allIds.push(el.id); }
}

should leave you with all the IDs in allIds.
If you find you need to just enumerate the IDs under a particular form node, then you can replace document.getElementsByTagName with myFormNode.getElementsByTagName.
If you want to include both IDs and NAMEs, then put
else if (el.name) { allIds.push(el.name); }

below the if above.

A: well, since it is a form,
im sure that you want to iterate only over the form elements and not all the tags in the document ( like href , div's etc.. )
for (var i=0; i < form.elements.length; i++) {
   var elementId = form.elements[i].id;
}

A: with jQuery
$('*').map(function() {
   return this.id || null;
}).get().join(',');

this gets all the elements in the DOM, and runs a function on each to return the id (and if undefined, returning null won't return anything. This returns a jQuery object which is then converted to a JavaScript array with get() and this is then converted to a comma-separated string of ids.
Try it on this page and you get

A: If you're doing your development using a fairly modern browser, you can use querySelectorAll(), then use Array.prototype.forEach to iterate the collection.
var ids = document.querySelectorAll('[id]');

Array.prototype.forEach.call( ids, function( el, i ) {
    // "el" is your element
    console.log( el.id ); // log the ID
});

If you want an Array of IDs, then use Array.prototype.map:
var arr = Array.prototype.map.call( ids, function( el, i ) {
    return el.id;
});

A: A simple ES6 (es2015) solution based on answer of user113716
const elementsById = document.querySelectorAll('[id]');
const elementsByIdArr = Array.prototype.map.call(elementsById, el => el.id);

/**
* identify all element ID's on a page,
* construct array of all element ID's on a page,
*/

const elementsById = document.querySelectorAll('[id]');
const elementsByIdArr = Array.prototype.map.call(elementsById, el => el.id);

for (const el of elementsByIdArr) {
  document.getElementById(el).innerHTML = `My id is "#${el}"`;
}
.title {font-weight: bolder; font-size: 24px;}
.description {line-height: 1.8em;}

A: You can use this code

var el_up = document.getElementById("UP");
var el_down = document.getElementById("DOWN");
el_up.innerHTML = "Click on the button to get " +
  "all IDs in an array.";

function runJquery() {
  var IDStr = "// Special characters will be removed\n";
  $("*").each(function() {
    if (this.id) {
      let id = this.id;
      id = id.replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, "");
      id = id.toUpperCase();
      window[id] = document.getElementById(this.id);
      IDStr += `var ${id} = document.getElementById('${this.id}');\n`;
    }
  });
  el_down.innerHTML = IDStr;
}

function runNormalJS() {
  var IDStr = "// Special characters will be removed\n";
  [...document.querySelectorAll("*")].forEach(function(e) {
    if (e.id) {
      let id = e.id;
      id = id.replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, "");
      id = id.toUpperCase();
      window[id] = document.getElementById(e.id);
      IDStr += `var ${id} = document.getElementById('${e.id}');\n`;
    }
  });
  el_down.innerHTML = IDStr;
}
* {
  text-align: center;
}

#DOWN {
  color: blue;
}
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

  MrAni

<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary" onclick="runJquery()">
        Click Here To Run With Jquery
    </button>

<button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary" onclick="runNormalJS()">
        Click Here To Run With Normal JS
    </button>

This code is understandable and also works smoothly

A: First of all, I would highly recommend jQuery. It has simplified my JavaScript development soooo much.  (See RichieHindle's answer)
Second, I know that a lot of browsers keep a list of IDs for direct (fast) access, but I don't know of a way to access them. It would probably be browser-specific anyways, so that's probably not the best route.
Finally, the code:
var elementList = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
var idList = [];
for (var i in elementList) {
  if (elementList[i].id != "") {
    idList.push(elementList[i].id);
  }
}
// Do something with your array of ids

The threat of default has loomed large again for Argentina in recent months. It went right down to the wire on 30 July when it became clear that a deal wasn't going to be reached. For the eighth time in its history the country slipped grudgingly into default, making it one of the world's most recidivist sovereign defaulters.
First, some context: The payment problems this time stem from Argentina's mega-default in late 2001 when the country defaulted on $95bn in government bonds. Holders of around 92 per cent of those bonds accepted restructurings worth about $0.30 on the dollar, but the remaining bondholders – a group of US-based hedge funds led by billionaire Paul Singer's Elliott Management – refused to accept the restructuring, demanded payment in full for old bonds that weren't exchanged and sued for full payment.
A decade-long legal battle ensued and in July President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's government refused to abide by the decisions of the US courts and pay the holdouts, effectively locking Argentina out of the global capital markets altogether. Thus it was with good reason that tensions were high on 30 July as the culmination of the lengthy dispute saw US District Court Judge Thomas Griesa side with the hedge funds and duly freeze a $539m interest payment from Argentina, ordering the country not to make any payments on new bonds before it paid for its previous payments, plus interest.

Meet Latitudes at Midway Contemporary Art tonight
After leaving their temporary home of Minneapolis several years ago, curators Max Andrews and Mariana Cánepa Luna relocated to Barcelona where they've been running their "curatorial office" Latitudes ever since. This week, I'm glad they're coming back.
Latitudes' projects are often, but not always, ecological in theme, and they tend to be boundrary-blurring site-specific public artworks. In recent weeks, for example, they've been producing a weekly newspaper within the New Museum exhibition The Last Newspaper (issue 3, just out, includes a short bit I was invited to write about my employers at the nonprofit American Independent News Network, plus an essay by former Walker curator Doryun Chong on the artwork Vanilla Nightmares by Adrian Piper). Previous projects include Portscapes, a series of commissioned projects using and responding to the expansion of Rotterdam's seaport; No Soul For Sale: A Festival of Independents at Tate Modern this May; an upcoming exhibition in Arhus, Denmark, of energy-related work by Christina Hemauer and Roman Keller; and the 2006 book (edited by Andrews), Land, Art: A Cultural Ecology Handbook, which I'm proud to say includes my interviews with Winona LaDuke, Cameron Sinclair and Rirkrit Tiravanija; to name just a few.
Documentation of the Jan Dibbets' Portscapes project, 6 Hour Tide Object with Correction of Perspective
Tonight at 7 pm the pair will give a talk at Minneapolis' Midway Contemporary Art about their work and the project, Vic Cambrils Barcelona / Verges Cervera Barcelona / Viladamat Castelldefels Barcelona / Vilafranca Cornella Barcelona / Valls Collserola Barcelona... A Library Project:
In response to Midway Contemporary Art Library's holdings of museum catalogues and from publishing houses in Barcelona, Latitudes has assembled a counter-accession of approximately 50 self- and micro-published books and paper editions by artists. Each publication is the work of an artist, designer, curator, or publishing initiative based in Barcelona or Catalonia since 2005. Although some were produced in conjunction with exhibitions, the books – or in some cases CD editions, newspapers, etc. – tend not to be traditional accompanying catalogues per se, but rather editorial propositions in themselves.
The title of the initiative presents various playful corruptions of the title of Woody Allen's movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) by substituting place names from Catalonia, suggesting a local alternative to the hackneyed cultural construction of Barcelona, as well as the depiction of the star artist.

Q: Coded ui: Another control is blocking the control I am trying to automate desktop application using CodedUI I am getting below error while I am trying click on buttons. Please suggest to me a resolution.
{"Another control is blocking the control. Please make the blocked control visible and retry the action. Additional Details:
 TechnologyName:  'MSAA'
 ClassName:  'WindowsForms10.BUTTON'
 ControlType:  'Window'\r\n"}

Code:
WinWindow SearchButtonWindow = new WinWindow();
            SearchButtonWindow.SearchConfigurations.Add(SearchConfiguration.AlwaysSearch);
            SearchButtonWindow.SearchConfigurations.Add(SearchConfiguration.VisibleOnly);
            SearchButtonWindow.SearchProperties[WinWindow.PropertyNames.ControlType] = "Window";
            SearchButtonWindow.SearchProperties[WinWindow.PropertyNames.ControlName] = "cmdSearch";
            //SearchButtonWindow.WindowTitles.Contains("Ascend Retail Management Software");
            WinButton SearchButton = new WinButton();
            SearchButton.SearchConfigurations.Add(SearchConfiguration.AlwaysSearch);
            SearchButton.SearchConfigurations.Add(SearchConfiguration.VisibleOnly);

            SearchButton.SearchProperties[WinWindow.PropertyNames.ControlType] = "Button";
            SearchButton.SearchProperties[WinButton.PropertyNames.ControlName]= "cmdSearch";

            Mouse.Click(SearchButton);

A: From your code I see that, the SearchButtonWindow is not assigned as parent to the SearchButton. Most of the times hierarchy is also required for identifying a control uniquely.
WinButton SearchButton = new WinButton(SearchButtonWindow);
Also, check the child controls of the SearchButtonWindow through CodedUI Test Builder Tool (Once the Window is highlighted, use arrow keys on top right of the Builder window. Down arrow key takes to the immediate first child of the currently highlighted control, where as right arrow key moves to the siblings)

A: Try using Drawhighlight() method and find whether test is highlighting the correct control

A: I have run into this a few times in the past. Usually when there is a non-clickable transparent or other non-visible object on top of the object you want. You can get to the object by forcing the mouse to the objects location and then calling the click command.
Point? xyPoint = GetCenterPoint(SearchButton);

if (xyPoint != null)
{
   Mouse.Click((Point)xyPoint);
}

public Point? GetCenterPoint(UITestControl objTarget)
{
    Point? _Point = null;
    try
    {
        if (objTarget != null && objTarget.GetProperty(UITestControl.PropertyNames.BoundingRectangle) != null)
        {
            double _CenterX = objTarget.BoundingRectangle.X + (objTarget.BoundingRectangle.Width / 2);
            int _PointX = Convert.ToInt32(_CenterX);
            double _CenterY = objTarget.BoundingRectangle.Y + (objTarget.BoundingRectangle.Height / 2);
            int _PointY = Convert.ToInt32(_CenterY);
            _Point = new Point(_PointX, _PointY);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        //Exception Logging Here
    }
    return _Point;
}

A: There is a workaround where you can define the location of the object, then put your mouse over it and click.
var clickTargetPoint = new System.Drawing.Point(*OBJECTNAME*.Left + *OBJECTNAME*.Width / 2, *OBJECTNAME*.Top + *OBJECTNAME*.Height / 2);
            Mouse.Hover(clickTargetPoint);
            Mouse.Click();

This helped me.

The Heart of Ohio Council Day Camp was recently held at Ontario Lions Community Park for Cub Scouts in grades 1-5 from Crawford, Richland and Ashland counties.
"Take Flight," the theme for the three-day event, allows Scouts to meet with experts from the Ohio Bird Sanctuary and representatives of the Air Guard.
The scouts participated in bird flights, weather, archery, BB guns, field sports, pilot training, nature survival, crafts, model aircrafts, kites and finger rockets.
The Heart of Ohio Council Day Camp is hosted by the volunteers of the Johnny Appleseed Trail District.


I had some trouble finding these today. The trick is this - once you've gone right in the first canyon, past the crocodiles, hug the outside wall/path on the map . This will get you to the far bottom right corner of an atlas map where these can be found.
Does anyone know where the deviate dreadfangs are? These are the only ones I can't find.
So I found the entrance to WC in the Barrens, worked my way to a large area with a lot of water in the center with Deviate Stinglashes, but no Deviate Dreadfang. There is an entrance to the instance there, but once entering, I don't see another Windserpent. I worked my way to the end of the instance, all the way to the entrance again, out into the Barrens, then back to the very end of the instance, killing all the Druids of the Snake (or whatever they're called) until I hit the very very end.
I'm trying to tame this monster because of its unique dark blue skin, but haven't found it yet. I'll post back here if I ever figure it out. Please post if you know where it is.
Alright, after you go through WC for a while and after you enter the instance you'll find a large circular cavern with a river running through the center (and a bit below). I turned left and followed the river, that's why I couldn't find this monster. If you turn right and follow the water, you'll go past some waterfalls and fight these living plants. Keep going in that direction and you'll eventually come across these monsters.
I don't know anything about what pet is best, but I must say that the skin for this monster is very sharp looking.
As far as looks go, this solid blue windserpent probably looks the best of all. I think that the only color that could possibly look cooler would be solid black. But, I don't know of any black windserpents in the game so far - come on Blizz, hook me up!
I think this is the best pet for hunters 22-29 they have a great DPS and they have good strength and stamina.
These mobs are not rare, they are just far back in the instance, past Lord Pythas, near Skum. They are blue windserpents, and they are often grouped with Druids of the Fang, though there seems to be some solo pats.
As an above poster said, jump into the river and hang a right, follow this path until you find them. It will take a while to see them, but if you keep going this way, eventually you will.
this or a cat for pvp and pvp?
Windserpents are probably the most useless pet I've ever used. No armor, mediocre attack. Basically a tank pet without the armor.
That said, I love them. Dependsing on the lighting and monitor settings, this baby can appear anything from inky blue to a bluish brown or black. I'm keeping one as my DPS pet, gonna raise the sucker around level 60.
Yay for color schemes you can't get anywhere else!
Hehe this is my most favourite pet in the game so far, I'm lvl 28. Tamed Deviate Dreadfang when I was level 21, took ages to find. Named it ElectroCute! Hehe. I love the fact that it can change a variety of colours from the light around - in dark areas it is dark green, light areas its blue. Its so gorgeous and does a lot of damage, being BM specced it is the best pet for me! <3 IT!
What a beauty! I just tamed this little darlin at level 42, so I definitely have my work cut out for me. This picture really doesn't do it justice - I keep catching myself staring enthralled at my own pet! I've already gotten so many compliments on it. The colors look just like a dusky sunset, so I named mine Eventide.
I was searching for a blue pet. I had the yellow thunder one from Camp Taurajo. And once I saw it I fell in love.
I had been looking for a good blue pet and I couldn't have been happier.
reason for my blue pet obsession: my favourite colour is blue. even my character's name is a shade of blue.
Just tamed one of these at level 43 as my secondary pet. After about 20 minutes in Stranglethorn Vale, he's up to level 23 from 21. Haha...this'll be a fun next few days getting him up to speed :) My fault for waiting so long to get him, though.
Weeks back, I saw a person run through Ironforge with, what I thought, was the most awesome Wind Serpent I had ever seen. (Of course, it was this one, though I didn't know it at the time... :-/ ) Immediately, I sent a tell to them and asked where they got it.
Sure enough, I checked this site and immediately fell in love with it yet again as soon as I found the pic. I immediately set out for the Barrens, which was only a hop, skip, and a jump away, ignored every single enemy in the instance, and got myself lost several times, but I was determined to find one. And eventually, much to my satisfaction, as soon as I saw the name 'Deviate Dreadfang' on the mini-map, I lunged towards it, used a Freeze Trap, and tamed it easily.
Ya... there are no level 15s... There are only 20 and 21s, and those are inside the instance.
Anyways, to get to em go down into the water and then head east, then keep going up further and further, you start seeing em half way up.
Anyways, ya as a Night Elf, who took a good hour and a half to get there and find out there are only 20+s, I'm pretty damn pissed.
Why does this site retain outdated info like this... can cause people alot of unneccessary trouble.
I'm not sure where the entrance to WC is. I think it is around the xroads, but where exactly is the entrance. Or, would anyone have the coordinates?
I have Arikara right now, and other than the puff of smoke (ONLY when you summon her) she is not my fav in colors.
I saw this guy in person one day with another hunter and the color is really nice, even soothing.
I just might let arikara go back home and try for this guy.

Risk of Hospitalization for COVID-19 Among Healthcare Workers and their Households
Large cohort study quantifies risk for hospital admission for COVID-19 among healthcare workers and members of their households.
Healthcare workers with direct patient contact have a threefold increased risk of being hospitalized for COVID-19 and members of their household have twice the risk compared to the general population, according to a large cohort study conducted in Scotland.
"Estimating the risk in this population is important to guide public health measures to protect healthcare workers and their families, maintain a functioninghealthcare system, and control rates of secondary transmission within the community," state the investigators, Anoop Shah, MD, Non-Communicable Disease Epidemiology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK, and colleagues.
In an accompanying editorial, Ulf Karlsson, MD, PhD, and Carl-johan Fraenkel, MD, PhD, Department of Infectious Diseases and Infection Control, Skane University Hospital, Lund, Sweden, welcomed the new study for providing "the most comprehensive estimate to date of the risk of more serious disease, and it is the first to report risk to household members."
Shah and colleagues identified 155,445 healthcare workers in two nation-wide databanks in Scotland, the Scottish Workforce Information Standard System (SWISS) and the General Practitioner Contractor Database (GPCD), excluding dental staff and those working exclusively in pediatrics.The health care worker cohort was stratified for those with direct patient contact, "patient-facing" (57.3%), the 20.6% without direct patient contact, and 22.2% undetermined.
Patient contact was determined from the Community Health Index (CHI) database of all patients who register to receive care from the National Health Service of Scotland.Cross-checking addresses in the CHI also revealed the 229,905 household members of the healthcare workers.The study period was March 1 to June 6, 2020.
The healthcare workers and members of their household were then included in a nested case-control design to discern hospitalization for COVID-19 compared to the general population, which excluded the cohort, using data from an existing Scottish case-control study of COVID-19 cases, REACT-COVID-19.
Of the hospital admissions with COVID-19 among those of working age in the study period, the investigators found that healthcare workers and their household members accounted for 17.2% (360/2097) of admissions with COVID-19 while representing only 11.2% of that population.The hospital admissions among healthcare workers without direct patient contact was similar to that in the general population.
The risk of admission to hospital with COVID-19 was 0.20% (1818/90,773), 0.07% (23/32,615), and 0.11% (39/35,097) among healthcare workers with patient contact, non-contact, and undetermined, respectively.Hospitalization among household members of the healthcare workers with direct patient contact, no patient contact and undetermined was 0.07% (89/136,563), 0.04% (20/44,812), and 0.07% (32/48530), respectively.
Although the overall risk for healthcare workers with direct patient contact and their household members to require hospitalization for COVID-19 was low, less than 0.5%, they accounted for 1 in 6 of all admissions with COVID-19 in the working age population.
One measure to improve safety, Shaw and colleagues propose, "is to redeploy healthcare workers from patient-facing to non-patient facing roles if they or their households are more susceptible to severe disease."
Karlsson and Fraenkel point out that there have been improvements in safety procedures and the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) since the study period, and suggest "the greatest risk to healthcare workers may be their own colleagues or patients in the early stages of unsuspected infections when viral loads are high."


The time has come for us to leave the shade.
The time has come for us to face the betrayed.
The time has come for us to open our eyes and perceive.
The time has come for us to open our eyes and breathe.
I think it's about time for us to take a hard look at who we have become. For example, I was waiting for the bus the other day, and I noticed that every single person that walked by a nearby trashcan, threw something out. So, the wonder kid in me thought it would be a good idea to count how many people it took to fill up the can. I saw the garbage can fill up in 12 minutes. 21 people had walked by.
We all do it; we all produce garbage. I do it. You do it. The most environmentally-conscious people do it. It's something that's inevitable. Unavoidable. Completely Predictable. So what do we do then? There has to be something……….right?
It seems as though fast-growing populations and the rise of consumer culture has led to the massive amounts of trash we produce. In fact, in 2004, each Canadian produced 418kg of residential waste. 418kg multiplied by 34.26 million people results in about 1.4x10^10 kg of garbage! That's approximately equal to the mass of 1. 25 billion NFL players!
That's a lot of trash for a country that's supposed to be "low on the population end". Although this seems to be all bad news, there is a bronze lining: households sent out 3.6 million tonnes of recycling in 2004, an increase of 65 per cent compared to 2000. I guess that we should be commended for taking the time to unscrew water bottle caps and break down our pizza boxes.
Regardless of our unprecedented efforts to be good humanitarians, there are still copious amounts of garbage that needs to be addressed. So how about this for a proposition: how about for the upcoming coming week, we take our own coffee mugs to Tim Hortons? That will probably get rid of half our consumption total. Or if you're like me and don't participate in the activity of coffee-drinking, how about we take this week to reuse two things that throw in the recycling bin?

I-Team: Police interview shows Arthur Sewall learning his DNA was found on 1997 murder victim; rape kit gave detectives answers |
I-Team: Police interview shows Arthur Sewall learning his DNA was found on 1997 murder victim; rape kit gave detectives answers
Submitted by 8NewsNOWStaff
Friday, August 9th, 2019, 8:30pm
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Nevada's attorney general is keeping a running tally of the rape kit backlog. Out of the nearly 8,000 kits inventoried, more than 500 still need to be tested, according to the attorney general's website.
Out of the 800 DNA matches, 28 arrests have been made. The I-Team's Vanessa Murphy is taking a closer look at one of those cases. She's obtained never before seen crime scene photos and video of a police interview with the suspect, Arthur Sewall.
It was the push to end a backlog of DNA crime kits that led police to Sewall more than 20 years after a woman was killed.
Metro Police Detective: "But I think you should hear us out first because…"
Arthur Sewall: "I have no problem in hearing you out. I don't have anything to hide so."
Two Metro Police detectives interviewed Sewall in January of 2018 about the unsolved murder of 20-year-old Nadia Iverson. She was shot and killed in 1997.
That same year Sewall had been convicted for abusing his power as a Metro Police Officer after video showed him exchanging favors for sex acts. He resigned a few months before Iverson was murdered.
Metro Police Detective: "Do you know her?"
Sewall: "Can't say that I do."
Metro Police Detective: "Okay; tiny girl, she's not very big. Her name is Nadia. No?"
Sewall: "No, sir."
The detectives told Sewall they connected a gun he owned to the crime scene. They also told him that the investigation revealed that Iverson may have been sexually assaulted and his DNA was a match.
Metro Police Detective: "Then that hit to your DNA."
Sewall: "Really?"
Metro Police Detective: "Yeah, in several locations."
Police had answers because Iverson's rape kit was finally tested.
But for more than an hour, during his interview with police, Sewall denied any involvement.
Metro Police Detective #2: "There was this Art Sewall, and now there's this Art Sewall; no joke, but this |Art Sewall left his DNA there."
That's when Sewall confessed. He said he was going through tough times and had paid Iverson for sex.
According to Sewall, they went inside a home that was under construction.
"I never went out with the intention of shooting anyone," Sewall proclaimed. "I went out with the intention of sexual gratification and when my 357 went off, it freaked me out, and I bolted, and I panicked."
A couple of months later, Sewall was indicted for murder.
"Am I remorseful? Most definitely on many levels,"Sewall said.
Sewall was arrested. He pleaded not guilty to the charges, a jury trial is set for him for Nov. 4.

Apple to begin making iPhones in India by April-End
According to a Karnataka minister, Apple Inc. will begin assembling iPhones in India by the end of April.
New Delhi/ 4 January 2017. Apple Inc. will begin assembling iPhones in India by the end of April, according to a Karnataka minister. The focus is to heighten on the world's fastest-growing major smartphone market as growth slows elsewhere.
The US company has tapped Taiwan's Wistron Corp. to put together its phones in the tech capital of Bengaluru, said Priyank Kharge, the state's information technology minister. Apple executives met with him in January and confirmed the timeline, he said in an interview.
The start of iPhone assembly in India comes after months of speculation on Apple's plan for the market, which is led by rival Samsung Electronics Co. It signals a renewed focus on the country, where it just scrapes into the top 10, as growth begins to slow in China and other more mature markets. The Cupertino, California-based company is said to have put forward a long list of demands -- including a 15-year tax holiday to import components and equipment - in negotiations with the central government.
"Apple's iPhones will be made in Bangalore and all devices will be targeted at the domestic market," said Kharge, IT minister for Karnataka, of which Bangalore is the capital. Kharge said the state will help Apple if it decides to turn to other contract manufacturers in the region.
The devices will be assembled through a plant on Bangalore's outskirts operated by Wistron, a Taiwanese contract manufacturer.

Lord, today I turn to You for counsel. I open myself to holy listening, to receiving guidance about what I need to hear from You. What is it that I believe to be true about You, Lord? Why do I not just pray about that? Do I believe in miracles? Would I want a miracle to happen in my life? Would I want direct contact with You? I wonder, Lord, I wonder. Could I go back to living an ordinary life if You came to call through a miracle? Nothing in my life would be the same. I would know You are observing my every move, hearing my every prayer. I am as awestruck by that thought as I am terrified as I am electrified. That a prayer could result in a miracle is awe-inspiring because it truly does mean You are everywhere and we really do live under the watchful eye of heaven. How that can be the truth baffles me. I so often wonder why this person or that is not receiving help right now, this instant, from heaven. Or how a tragedy can happen to an innocent child. But I do not know the workings of karma, or Divine order. I do not know why I am not starving and others are. I could question that as well, but I hesitate to wonder about why heaven distributes in benevolence in my direction. Yet, the question is no different than asking about why others are denied. It is only that I fear the answer to pursuing matters of benevolence. What, then, Lord, do you want from me this day? What do you want me to know or to understand or to do? It is obvious that I can only understand this life in small particles. Today I will not be distracted from listening. I will not tell myself that I did not hear You. And I will not pursue cosmic-sized questions that cannot be answered. Today I am here, Lord. And I am listening. Amen.
The significant question of the day: What does my soul tell me are Divine truths and am I living in harmony with all that I know to be holy truths?
What do you actually believe to be true about the Divine? If ever there was a question that has parts to it, that's it. Most people answer that question by first telling me what they do not believe. But I am not asking you what you do not believe. And I am not asking about moral, political or social issues with the Catholic Church, for those of you who share that particular history.
This question is specifically about what you believe to be true about the nature of God – that which you believe in right now. What do you base your spiritual life on? What do you base your values on, your moral and ethical behavior? Do you have a sense of good and evil, right and wrong? If you believe in reincarnation, for example, then it goes without saying that you believe in retribution passed on from one lifetime to another. Another way to say that is that you acknowledge the existence of sin and just consequences for living a sinful life.
Acknowledging what you know to be a holy truth is part one. It doesn't matter what you know to be a holy truth, however; what matters is that you live that truth fully. In other words, you can admit you know it's wrong to steal but if you're stealing, it obviously doesn't matter that you know it's wrong.
Today is devoted to what it means to make a holy choice; that is, a choice that you know is the result of inner guidance.
You are guided about what to eat. Your health depends upon what you eat and therefore our intuitive system – think of that as the "organic divinity system – is always sending signal as to whether we should eat this or not.
You receive guidance about what to say or not say to people, whether what you are saying is of service to someone or harmful.
You receive guidance are pressing issues of personal betrayal and spiritual self-care. Your soul is relentless about alerting you to violations of your integrity.
Your soul is also relentless about pushing you to develop your gifts. You will experience deep spiritual depressions when you choose to sabotage the gifts of your soul.
Observe the way guidance comes to you. It enters your life physically, emotionally, inwardly. Holy guidance always moves you toward inner balance and it always contains a grain of truth. Holy guidance always directs toward small and great acts of personal transformation – from eating better for your health to releasing dark thoughts that torment you because they are toxic to pursuing your creativity. Be still and feel, listen, sense – open every passageway in your being. Ask yourself where you are not in a state of balance and why? Your answer could be, "Because I am always angry," or "Because I don't know what to do next" or "Because I am in financial stress." Then listen, feel, sense for direction – not an entire map of solution – but a direction. A choice – one choice. And make that choice. That choice could be as simple as, "Have hope" or "Be patient" or "Call X" or "Forgive and let go of X". Every one of those responses has more power than you can measure, as each one of those choices frees your psyche and soul to be receptive to guidance that otherwise cannot penetrate your energy field. It does not take much to get the wheels of change moving in another direction. But it often takes a great deal to be willing to move in that direction.
Holy choices can often require courage. You are never given a guarantee of an outcome. You are given the guidance to act. Not acting on sacred guidance is often the source of self-loathing, though people do not recognize that cause because they do not think in terms of soul reasons.
All choices are holy, Lord, for every choice changes my life. No choice is insignificant. I realize that now. There is no such thing as a small choice, Lord, and no such thing as a powerless word. No and yes – two of the most powerful words I can say. What am I saying no or yes to right now? Grant me the grace of Counsel, Lord. Even the power of these small words has brought me to silence.
Take me down deep, Lord, and meet me at my inner well. I am listening for You in the stillness of my being. I seek a path of wholeness in which the choices I make bring me greater clarity in life. I will no longer search for You but for ways to develop my gifts and serve others. I will no longer deny the many ways that You speak to me, Lord. Grant me the courage to act on Your guidance. I so often feel that I am alone, standing in the midst of choices I am afraid to make. I am unsure of outcomes. I need to remind myself again and again that not making a choice creates an outcome of uncertainty as well. Your guidance may change my life – it often does. But change will happen with or without my eyes wide open. I do know that Your guidance always contains a grain of truth – that is Your signature. And so, I ask for the courage to embrace the truth, however difficult that may be. Hover over me, Lord. The deeper I pursue my spiritual life, the more I realize that it liberates me from the burden of illusions and the more I need courage to let those illusions evaporate. Amen.

The Dawkins Letters outselling The God Delusion!

In a certain suburban neighborhood, there were two brothers, 8 and 10 years old, who were exceedingly mischievous. Whatever went wrong in the neighborhood, it turned out they had had a hand in it. Their parents were at their wits' end trying to control them. Hearing about a priest nearby who worked with delinquent boys, the mother suggested to the father that they ask the priest to talk with the boys. The father replied, "Sure, let's do that before I kill them!"
The mother went to the priest and made her request. He agreed, but said he wanted to see the younger boy first and alone. So the mother sent him to the priest.
The priest sat the boy down across a huge, impressive desk. For about five minutes they just sat and stared at each other. Finally, the priest pointed his forefinger at the boy and asked, "Where is God?"
Again the boy looked all around but said nothing. A third time, in a louder, firmer voice, the priest leaned far across the desk and put his forefinger almost to the boy's nose, and asked, "Where is God?"
The boy panicked and ran all the way home. Finding his older brother, he dragged him upstairs to their room and into the closet, where they usually plotted their mischief. He finally said, "We are in BIIIIG trouble."
The older boy asked, "What do you mean, BIIIIG trouble?"
His brother replied, "God is missing and they think we did it."
