Halifa Sallah warns national interest is 'supreme' as he lends his voice to passing or rejection of local government amendment bill
By Lamin Njie
Halifa Sallah warned on Monday the national interest is 'supreme' as he lent his voice to whether a bill that seeks to grant independence and freedom to elected local government officials should be approved.
"We all have interests but the national interest is supreme. We should not accuse each other as to who is really sincere in promoting the national interest. That's for the people to decide, they're listening," the Serrekunda NAM said, appearing to support the hugely controversial Alhagie Jawara bill.
The PDOIS lawmaker added: "We look at the constitution, it makes it very clear Honourable Speaker under section 60 that political parties… It is saying that the political parties under Section 60, no association shall be registered or remain registered as a political party if its internal organisation does not conform with democratic principles. So every political party must conform to democratic principle. That is the essence. So that is the party.
"So Honourable speaker, I will be brief here: what we are talking about is a conception of democracy that has been captured by Section 112 and we must make that to live. What it is showing is that, while you're in the party you're within the democratic principles of the party but when you're elected and you become a president or you become a national assembly member or a councillor, there should be a separation of party and state. Because now you're running a machinery that is not a partisan machinery, it's a national machinery. So therefore, the party should not have influence in the running of the state."

My recent encounters with the armpit hair fetishist have motivated me to share my personal favorite armpit hair story.
In the summer of 1995, I went to Boston for a week to visit my friend Wendy. It was the middle of an insane heat wave, and I was lucky to be out of Chicago, because that was the heat wave that ultimately killed more than 700 people in Chicago.
At any rate, I was in Boston, and it was hot. I had (still have, actually) this little spaghetti-strap dress that says "easy" on it, and I was wearing that. I was going somewhere on the T, and all of the seats were filled, so I was holding on to the overhead bar. At any rate, when we reached my stop, the man who was sitting directly below where I had been standing said, in the world's thickest Boston accent ever, "Hey -- nice aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahmpits!"
It still cracks me up just thinking about it.
Was that Adam's sister? or his then girlfriend.. or someone else entirely?
His sister. Though, yes, both his sister and his girlfriend were named Wendy. I kind of forgot about that. Funny.
She and I graduated the same year, and had the same major (Film -- same as Mark Swanholm too -- the three of us were thick as theives, as the saying goes). She's married now too, and working for the Post Office.
And, in a strange "small world" little twist of fate, she went to high school with my best friend from junior high, ratphooey.


For the buttermilk ranch dipping sauce: In a bowl, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, dill, celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
For the zucchini fries: Add the flour to a shallow baking dish. In a second baking dish, lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a third baking dish, combine the panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; gently crush all the ingredients together with your hands--this will ensure an even coating on the zucchini.
Lightly coat the zucchini sticks in the flour and then dip into egg mixture, coating evenly. Gently shake to remove excess egg and then generously coat the zucchini in the panko mixture. Transfer the breaded zucchini to a baking sheet.
Fill a high-sided skillet with about 1 inch of oil--make sure the oil does not rise more than halfway up the side of the skillet. Heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add the zucchini sticks to the pan. Cook until light golden brown, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately remove the zucchini to a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Keep warm in a 175-degree oven until ready to serve.
Serve the zucchini fries with the dipping sauce on side.


This is a classic 1973 Pearson 30 (P-30). She has been well maintained and is a beautiful boat. She does not show her age.
The boat is an excellent family cruiser or PHRF racer. She is responsive and fun to sail. A solid boat, no soft spots. Sleeps 6, V-berth forward with double & single berths and a quarter berth in the main salon. Stand up head, shower, holding tank, pressure water. Freshwater wash-down in cockpit. Tiller has been replaced with wheel. Atomic 4 engine with all the upgrades suggested by Moyer Marine, runs great. Engine was professionally rebuilt 5 years ago. Folding prop.
6:1 main sheet, adjustable, line controlled main and sheet travelers. Stainless steel rudder post and replaced bushings. There are many favorable reviews on the P-30, this is one of the best maintained of a wonderful boat. The boat has been cleaned and bottom painted with ablative bottom paint, so she is ready to be launched and sailed away. . Health forces the sale of this boat that I've owned since 1992.

Home Government Court Finds Trump Blocking Twitter Critics Illegal
Court Finds Trump Blocking Twitter Critics Illegal
PressTV - Iran
A federal appeals court in the United States has ruled that President Donald Trump has violated the US Constitution by blocking his critics on his Twitter account.
The Second US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the First Amendment bars Trump from using Twitter's "blocking" function to limit access to his account, which has 61.8 million followers.
"The First Amendment does not permit a public official who utilizes a social media account for all manner of official purposes to exclude persons from an otherwise-open online dialogue because they expressed views with which the official disagrees," wrote Circuit Judge Barrington Parker, citing several Supreme Court decisions.
"The irony in all of this is that we write at a time in the history of this nation when the conduct of our government and its officials is subject to wide-open, robust debate."
The debate generates a "level of passion and intensity the likes of which have rarely been seen," the court's decision read.
PressTV-'Trump tweets hurt US standing in the world'
US President Donald Trump's use of Twitter is hurting America's standing in the world, say the majority of voters in a new poll.
"This debate, as uncomfortable and as unpleasant as it frequently may be, is nonetheless a good thing," the second circuit added. "In resolving this appeal, we remind the litigants and the public that if the first amendment means anything, it means that the best response to disfavored speech on matters of public concern is more speech, not less."
The White House has yet to comment on the issue.
Disappointed with the court's decision, the US Department of Justice called the ruling "fundamentally misconceived," saying Trump used Twitter to express his views and not to offer a public forum for discussion.
Parker, however, said Trump's account bears "all the trappings of an official, state-run account" and is "one of the White House's main vehicles for conducting official business."
The court judge said Trump and his aides have characterized the president's tweets as official statements and that even the US National Archives considers them official records.
The American head of state opened his Twitter account in 2009.
Trump has used the account to attack his opponents and promote his agenda during his presidency.

In Support of a $15 Minimum Wage in Vermont, and Against a Youth Wage
by Yannet Lathrop
Areas of expertise: Living Wage and Minimum Wage Read Profile
Workers throughout Vermont need to earn at least $15 per hour today, just to afford the basics; by 2024, they will need much more.
According to analysis by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), an estimated 87,000 workers in Vermont (nearly 30 percent of the state's workforce) would benefit from the adoption of a $15 by 2024 minimum wage.[i] The average worker who works year-round would receive an extra $1,710 in annual earnings.[ii]
Facing some of the highest costs of living in the nation, these workers need to earn more than $15 per hour today just to afford the basics. By 2024, they will need even more. Analysis of EPI's Family Budget Calculator shows that even single workers in the least expensive counties of Vermont (Essex and Orleans) need more than $19 per hour today to make ends meet. By 2024, these workers will need to earn an hourly wage of $22 or more. In these counties, single and married workers caring for at least one child—as well as all workers in Burlington, regardless of marital or parental status—need to earn significantly more.
Housing expenses, alone, can quickly drain the budgets of low-income families. The benchmark for affordable housing is 30 percent of income.[iii] Yet, in Vermont, with housing costs continuously climbing while paychecks remain flat, an increasing number of low- and middle-income families are having to spend more than 30 percent of their total household budgets on housing.[iv]
Today, in rural Vermont, rent for a modest one-bedroom apartment averages $811 per month, or 43 percent of pre-tax earnings from full-time work at the current state minimum wage.[v] In the Burlington metropolitan area, a one-bedroom apartment averages $1,121, or 60 percent of gross minimum wage full-time earnings.[vi] Rent for apartments with two or more bedrooms, which parents raising children would need, cost more and account for even larger percentages of gross monthly earnings. (See Appendix 2 for additional estimates by county or region, and apartment size).

The Celebrity Edge: Using AR Technology to Enhance Customer Experience
Jon Jaehnig January 17, 2019
posted on Jan. 17, 2019 at 10:30 am
The cruise industry recognizes the potential of augmented reality.
Reports and projections often talk about AR technology in industries like tourism. They don't often talk about what that means or how it gets there.
So how does AR technology become part of a business's marketing layout?
The Businesses
Celebrity Cruises is a cruise line that offers trips all over the world. Like in any other industry, Celebrity Cruises faces competition from other businesses. Unlike companies in other industries, Celebrity Cruises has limited ways in which it can introduce potential customers to the service. They can't give free trials periods or free samples. They can't offer a free limited experience with more expensive packages available.
Trigger may not be a household name but it probably should. The company has worked to produce XR experiences with big names including Disney, Lego, Sony Pictures, Travelocity, and The Black Eyed Peas — and that's only in the past few months.
When Celebrity Cruises was getting ready to launch its newest ship, The Celebrity Edge, they wanted to bring the ship to the people. They did this by enlisting the help of the AR technology experts at Trigger. Together, they created an AR experience on its newest ship, The Celebrity Edge Access Tour app.
The tour uses binaural audio, soundscaping and 3-D AR technology to give guests behind-the-scenes access to the story of their new ship.
The Imaging
The part of an AR app that we tend to focus on the most is the imaging. In the case of games or other media, the imaging work takes place between designers and coders. Depending on the scale of the project, some elements may be repurposed from past projects or taken from open source libraries and edited.
AR technology that recreates real-life spaces like with the Celebrity Edge Access Tour App, things are a bit different. The physical space can be mapped using special hardware and software in a process called "rendering" or "image synthesis."
The initial steps of this process usually creates a rather lifeless model. Textures and colors can then be applied to areas of the render in order to make it more visually engaging. Smaller models of items, furniture, people, etc. can then be placed within the space. These can also be created, taken from a library, or taken from files used in the design of the actual items. These features can make the experience more interesting and fun but they also serve the practical purpose of helping to establish scale.
Creating these models and spaces is only one aspect of image creation. The quality of the images make a big difference, especially in immersive experiences. Image quality is measured in megapixels. Each megapixel is made up of one million pixels. The number of megapixels in the measure is how many megapixels make up a single point in an image. All of the AR experiences in the Celebrity Edge Access Tour App are 12 megapixel. That's the same image quality as the rear-facing camera on the most recent iPhone.
The Audio
Image is important in AR technology but the more immersive an experience should be, the more important sound becomes.
The quest for sound quality begins with recording and editing. The audio in the Celebrity Edge Access Tour App consists primarily of a tour-narration and "soundscapes". Recording narration is simple enough but creating a soundscape can be different.
See Also: Survey: AR Technology Brings Concrete Benefits to the Services Industry
Soundscapes are all of the sounds that you would hear in a physical space. Depending on what the developer needs, these can be recorded in a real environment, or can be created. As is the case for images, there are libraries full of individual sounds that can be amplified, edited, and compiled into a soundscape. Creating a soundscape for an AR app might require a standard or edited recording or a natural soundscape, creating a soundscape from a library, or including library sounds into a recorded soundscape to change the experience.
To create more immersive experiences, recording isn't enough. The sounds in the Celebrity Edge Access Tour App are binaural. Binaural recording uses two microphones to record the environment, in a sense, from different angles. The result is that when the audio is played it sounds as though it is coming from around the listener rather than just through their earphones. Most AR apps don't get that advanced, though similar technology is often used in VR settings.
The Controls
Controls are important in AR apps as well but are not usually a large obstacle. Things like navigating through and interacting with environments are more a problem for VR. Like VR, AR technology does require access to some form of hardware in order to use the camera and sensors that help to match movement in the real world with movement within the feature.
These tools are easily accessible enough to small-time coders through tools like ARCore and ARKit. For a big-time developer like Trigger these aspects pose little difficulty. Other interactions are mere lines of code.
The AR app is free and is available for both Apple and Android devices, though many of the features are only available if you are on the ship. Early reviews also say that it doesn't work with some mobile devices, though the company has updated the app since the initial launch.
The app is able to give a guided tour of various locations of the ship, including realistic audio both in terms of background sounds and a tour guide. The models of various parts of the ship help travelers to understand their surroundings before they encounter them. They can also can help them get used to the navigation of the ship so that they don't spend the whole tour getting lost. The app doesn't tour the whole ship but some of they key areas are included, as is a model of the outside of the ship.

Lafarge
Ajay Piramal
After pharma, this is Ajay Piramal's next big play
Backed by his belief in the long-term India growth story, Piramal looks poised to place a mega bet on cement.Arijit Barman | ET Bureau | March 03, 2016, 06:58 IST
MUMBAI: Among the long list of private equity buyout funds and cement companies jostling to grab Lafarge's Indian assets that have recently been put up for sale is a surprise candidate – billionaire businessman Ajay Piramal.
In an interesting diversification move that has raised eyebrows of most competitors, Piramal, chairman of the over $4 billion eponymous group, has thrown his hat in the ring as Lafarge last month initiated plans to sell its entire Indian operations of 11 million tonnes per annum for an estimated $1.5 to $2 billion, said multiple sources aware of the transaction.
Ever since he sold his flagship pharma business for a jaw dropping $3.8 billion six years ago, there has been endless speculation on what could be Ajay Piramal's next big play. A fair chunk of the money so far has already gone into financial services, real estate and infrastructure. Now betting on the long term India growth story, Piramal, a quintessential deal maker, looks poised to place a mega bet on cement.
When contacted spokespersons from Piramal Enterprises and Lafarge India declined to comment.
At the core of Piramal's investment thesis, say sources, is his belief that in the next 12-18 months, spending on infrastructure will pick up as India looks to bounce back on its 8% plus growth trajectory. The group already has legacy manufacturing expertise that can be exploited going forward. "From railways to highways and roads, we are looking at several high profile projects taking off in the next 1-2 years. Cement will be the building blocks and at the core of it," said an official in the know. "This is a long term business that is unlikely to get disrupted by change in technology," he added.
Piramal is not looking to use Piramal Enterprises, the listed group flagship housing his healthcare, financial services and information management business for the Lafarge acquisition. Instead, one of his private companies or a family investment arm will be the likely vehicle for the transaction. However, the talks are still in early stages, cautioned these officials. It is also not clear as yet if Piramal would go solo or opt for a financial partner subsequently if they indeed progress to the final rounds of negotiations.
With large assets available for consolidation along with savvy management teams, some believe this is also the best time to enter the space and build a cement platform by backing the right management teams and scale up. One of the sources cited above even said headhunting firms have also been approached to scout for senior management personnel for the new foray and feelers have already gone out to a handful of top talent in existing firms, but this could not be independently verified.
"Lafarge is be a marquee asset and arguably the best opportunity if one is looking at scaled operations. Along with assets even the incumbent management team will move to the new acquirer. So for a newer entrant who is looking at this space seriously, this is one of the best opportunities available to build on, " said an cement sector analyst privy to the ongoing discussions.
Buyouts are also a faster than the build option to save on time and costs. Currently, it takes over five years to set up a cement plant, largely on account of land acquisition delays.
While some see this as an opportunistic exercise by Piramal to branch into a sunrise sector, many see the development as a natural extension of his existing interest in real estate and infrastructure. "From clean tech to roads, from telecom to real estate, the conglomerate has used its structured finance group to lend to various core sector projects. But that is largely through debt financing. This will be unique as it is a big strategic move to actually run the cement business as an operator using the equity route," said an investment banker who works closely with the group.
Since 2011, Piramal's son Anand has also ventured into real estate development with Piramal Realty and is developing 10 million sq ft across 6 projects in Mumbai. Additionally, with over $3 billion parked through several of their sector focussed funds and lending arms, Piramals are today the second largest investor in realty after HDFC.
Interestingly, in the recent past Piramal's structured investment team has already spent considerable time studying the sector, evaluating mezzanine financing opportunities to private equity funds and cement players during recent cement M&As – like the divestment of Reliance Cement and two of Lafarge's eastern Indian assets. The in-house knowledge will help them as the race to acquire Lafarge will intensify in the coming months.
In February, LafargeHolcim had agreed to sell its entire India operations after regulatory hurdle over transfer of mines came in between its earlier plans to divest 2 of its assets to Birla Corp for Rs 5000 crore. Exiting the entire business was alternate remedy for the merger of LafargeHolcim's legacy Indian operations. LafargeHolcim's India presence comprises cement capacity held under three subsidiaries—Lafarge India Pvt. Ltd, ACC Ltd and Ambuja Cements Ltd. Post divestment of Lafarge's 11 million tonnes, the merged entity would have a total capacity of about 60 million tonnes.

Asphalt roofing is one of the most popular roofing materials for homeowners. And while there are many alternatives, it's still the choice of many homeowners due to its affordability and respectable durability.
At Tedrick's Roofing, we answer your frequently asked questions about asphalt roofing.
Q: How Does Asphalt Fare Against Premium Roofing Materials?
A: People believe that asphalt is the "weakest" roofing material. While it's true that it doesn't reach the same level of durability as metal and tile, it's far from the weakest. Asphalt has respectable physical strength and elemental resilience, and it can even resist winds up to 110 mph. With proper care and maintenance, it can last a really long time. It's not uncommon to find an asphalt roof over 30 years old!
Q: How Affordable Are Asphalt Shingles?
A: Three-Tab Shingles, which are the basic and least expensive asphalt shingle system, will roughly cost you around $25 to $30 a bundle to cover a hundred square feet of roof. Architectural style asphalt shingles cost more at around $75 to $100 for the same area. While it's pricier, it doesn't reach the same level of price as metal or slate. As your trusted local roofer, we recommend asphalt shingles if you want the best value for your money.
Q: How Often Does My Asphalt Roofing Need Maintenance?
A: As a general rule, you'll want to make sure your roof gets some much-needed cleaning and maintenance once a month, especially when you've recently experienced inclement weather. The only time you should break this rule is if you experience a storm, in which case you'll want to have a professional look at your roof as soon as the weather settles down.
Tedrick's Roofing offers professional roof repair services. Give us a call at (877) 212-9355 for more information on our services. We're your trusted local roofer serving homeowners throughout Federal Way, WA.

Postmaster general reorganizes USPS ahead of November election

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced a reorganization of the U.S. Postal Service's leadership on Friday, shifting top personnel and pushing structural changes, according to the Washington Post.
Why it matters: The restructure, which reassigns or displaces postal executives, including two officials who oversee day-to-day operations, comes amid increased scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers, who fear that DeJoy's changes could threaten the use of mail-in ballots for the November election.
Earlier this summer, DeJoy — a major donor to President Trump's campaign efforts — implemented a number of cost-cutting measures, including prohibiting overtime and altered delivery policies — changes that Democrats fear will hamstring deliveries.
What they're saying: DeJoy told USPS' Board of Governors on Friday that, "If public policy makers choose to utilize the mail as a part of their election system, we will do everything we can to deliver Election Mail in a timely manner consistent with our operational standards.
"We do ask election officials and voters to be mindful of the time that it takes for us to deliver ballots, whether it is a blank ballot going to a voter or a completed ballot going back to election officials."
He added that "standards have not changed, and despite any assertions to the contrary, we are not slowing down Election Mail or any other mail. Instead, we continue to employ a robust and proven process to ensure proper handling of all Election Mail."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote in a letter to DeJoy on Thursday that they "believe these changes, made during the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic, now threaten the timely delivery of mail — including medicines for seniors, paychecks for workers, and absentee ballots for voters."
"We believe these changes must be reversed."
The big picture: Trump meanwhile has relentlessly claimed that mail-in ballots will produce voter fraud and "rig" the election, but has not provided evidence for his fears.
The House Oversight Committee called on DeJoy to testify about these changes on Sept. 17.


After a pair of six to zip shutouts, the Marlins finished off the Pirates on Thursday night with their hot bats by a score of 9-5. Chris Volstad got the start going five and a third for the win. Scott Cousins, Mike Stanton, and Brett Hayes all hit their first dingers of the year. The Marlins moved to 11-6 on the season, tied with Philadelphia for first in the east.
Scott Cousins emerged last year in his first major league at bat, lacing a walk-off hit against the Braves at the end of the summer in the midst of hot streak for Florida. In his first at bat on Thursday night, he jacked a grand slam into the people, or lack thereof in Florida, for his first career home run. He was the tenth Marlin in history to have his first dinger be a grand slam, Mike Stanton accomplished that last year versus Tampa Bay.
Mike Stanton has crushed a multitude of baseballs this year in various games, including one about 430 feet in Houston to dead center. But his first home run came on a lofty line drive over the high advertisement wall in left off of Michael Crotta in the fifth. I predicted 42 for Stanton this year. If he gets one every 17 games, he's on pace for less than ten. But that's not going to happen, the 42 might not either, but Stanton will get hot and start producing for the Fish.
I was at a September game in 2009 at Nationals Park. The Marlins were leading the Nationals by a couple runs, and it was late in the game. Brett Hayes stepped to the plate and proceeded to hit his first career home run into the flowers in left field. At that point, I had no clue who he was beyond the catcher who started in that game. Ever since then, I have followed him a little bit, and I'm happy that he's been providing offense for the Marlins. He hit the second of three homers on the day for Florida, a three-run shot to left. Hayes has bounced back nicely after last year's shoulder injury. His playing time will be down this year due to the acquisition of John Buck.
So Florida completed its first sweep of the year, coming at home, outscoring the Pirates 21-5 for all three games. And the Marlins starters are going deep into games, another factor that may be a contribution to the bullpen's success. All three starters this series got wins, a nice positive moving forward for the Fish.

Most sectors rallied, led by diversified financials, materials and real estate, while only retailing, household and personal products lost ground. From a technical perspective, the S&P500 index continued to rebound and broke above the 1260 resistance. The index should challenge its resistance area 1290-1300 in sight before any further upsides.
The FTSE 100 gained 3.89% over the week. Technically, the index broke above its 5600 MT key resistance and 100D MA but bounced back from its 5750 resistance. The FTSE may trade between 5600 and 5750 and should test its upper boundary first. Looking at economic statistics, the UK GfK consumer confidence survey fell to -32 in October vs -30 a month earlier. In Europe, euro zone consumer confidence was -19.9 in October in final estimation, unchanged vs the prior one. In Germany, consumer prices were flat in October (+0.1%) expected vs +0.1% in September.

The bank was rated "hold" at Commerzbank and "neutral" at Barclays Capital while Citigroup revised its price estimate on the bank to SF28.50 from SF31.00 ("buy" rating affirmed). From a chartist point of view, the stock price is now challenging its horizontal resistance around SF27.50, and should post a consolidation in sight before further upsides towards SF30.
The same day, Pfizer, the US pharmaceutical firm, could report 3Q EPS of $0.56, up from $0.54 a year ago on sales of $16.5B, compared to $16.2B. The Co said last week it finalized the acquisition of Icagen, a biopharmaceutical company, for $6.00 per share in cash. Technically, the stock is accelerating on the upside after the break above its previous resistance at $19.10. Next up targets are set at $21 and $21.5, as long as $19.10 is not broken.
Thursday, Sanofi, the French drug maker may announce 3Q EPS of E1.76 vs E1.47 in the same prior year period and sales of nearly E9B, up from 7.82B.

Technically, the share remains bullish on both ST and MT views. The ascending 20-day moving average plays well as a support, and should push the price higher towards E25.5 in the coming days.
Friday, International Consolidated Airlines, the European airline carrier's 3Q EPS is seen at E0.15, up from E0.02 in 3Q10, on sales of E4.7B, compared to E3.9B.

Wait for it: Why Boeing 737 Max software fix is taking so long
In the days after a Boeing Co. 737 Max 8 jet plunged into Indonesia's Java Sea last October, company officials said they were moving quickly to update plane software suspected in the crash.
Six months and a second Max 8 disaster later, Boeing has yet to submit its fix to regulators. Last week, pilots and its airline customers left a Federal Aviation Administration meeting with no idea when the grounded model would fly again. "We've taken off our watches and put the calendars in the drawer," American Airlines pilot Dennis Tajer said after the meeting.
Ethiopia indicates Boeing investigation could go beyond a year
Software engineers need to ferret out ripple effects and unintended consequences, said Eric Feron, an aerospace software engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology. "You have to look at the way the human is going to operate the plane. You have to consider the interactions with hardware, and other software,'' he said. "We want to be sure, if we can be sure, that we have no negative interactions between software systems.''
MCAS proved vulnerable to those kinds of interactions. It relied on data from just one piece of hardware - a sensor that malfunctioned - before putting a plane into a dive that pilots didn't see coming.
Ethiopia crash victims' DNA samples to be sent for London tests
The 737 Max should have been grounded after the first crash, said Tom Demetrio, a Chicago lawyer who is suing Boeing on behalf of Lion Air families. "That was the time to tell airlines, do not fly this plane until you hear from us that we know the cause and the cause has been corrected," he said.
Boeing has said it began working on its software fix immediately, but that the work proved more complicated than initially thought, since the software hovers in the background of critical flight controls.
But some Boeing critics said the company might have moved faster if the first crash hadn't involved Lion Air, a young airline with a history of maintenance and other troubles. "There were just so many factors that contributed with Lion Air," said Hans Weber, an aerospace engineer with FAA experience.
Working for months
Then came the March 10 disaster, which involved widely respected Ethiopian Airlines. Two days later, Boeing's Muilenburg said the company had been working for months on "software enhancements'' designed to "make an already safe aircraft even safer.'' On March 13, the U.S. joined the rest of the world in grounding the Max 8.
Two weeks after that, Boeing unveiled its software fix to hundreds of pilots and airline executives in Seattle, saying the company would submit it to the FAA by month's end, a timeline the company walked back within days.
In his video message Wednesday night, Muilenberg said the company had completed 120 test flights, spending 203 hours in the air checking the reworked system.
The updated software will assess readings from two sensors, turn itself off if they don't agree and nudge the plane's nose down if they do. To test the new system and convince regulators, the company ran computer models subjecting the fix to multiple speeds, angles and potential human or machine failures in the lab, in simulators and in a jet outfitted with flight-test equipment.
To Weber and Teal Group's Aboulafia, the fix only highlights the original software's flaws.
"In retrospect,'' Aboulafia said, "there were some bad calls.''

ACCESS for Mental Health
Dr. Mehta is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology and Director of Psychology Training in the Institute for Juvenile Research at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The central theme of Dr. Mehta's work is to reduce the persistent disparities in access to mental health services for ethnic minority children and families. Dr. Mehta's work is based in an ecological public health model and she conducts community-based collaborative research focused on (1) developing culturally responsive, alternative models of mental health services for children and youth and (2) workforce development to enhance the capacity of community organizations to sustain accessible, effective services that enhance children's and youth's well-being and promote mental health. Dr. Mehta is part of a team that has developed new mental health service models that promote children's mental health and increase the accessibility, effectiveness, and sustainability of children's mental health services. Her specific interests include leveraging natural resources (teachers, staff) in settings critical to children's development and mental health (school, after-school), activating paraprofessionals to promote and enhance services, and enhancing organizational factors that are crucial to maintain and sustain effective practices. Dr. Mehta has collaborated with multiple partners in Chicago, including the Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Park District, community mental health centers, and non-profit organizations.
In addition to research, Dr. Mehta maintains a caseload in the Colbeth Clinic, is a core faculty member of the Community Engagement and Collaboration core in the UIC Center for Clinical and Translational Science, and is an Affiliate of the UIC Clinical Psychology Program.

Overview: Your secrets are safe with her, but some secrets are deadly.
Counsellor Francesca 'Frankie' Wilson, divorced mother of two, lands her dream job at ASF Technologies. Is she as lucky as she seems? From the very first day things start happening to her — bad things! Who is responsible and why? Could it be one of her clients?
Isabelle Toms, a profoundly deaf tester, who feels lonely and isolated, within an organization where no one else can use sign language.
The ease of reading was effortless and every scene transitioned nicely. It was full of excellent ideas, story-lines and plot.
Then the ending… It felt like one of those science fictions that keeps you going throughout the entire movie. You're hooked completely, and on the edge of your seat. Then… BAM! Right between the eyes, you're struck with the dumbest ending ever.
What happened? Did the author run out of gas? There are two murders (sorry spoilers) hanging out there in no man's land and nothing… The book is written in a way that there can't be a sequel, not that I would want any… but come on… really?
The ending needs to be rewritten. If it is to end with a hanging cliffhanger, then do so differently. Arrrrrrrrg!
Okay enough of that. This author can obviously write books and should continue. She has a clear understanding of plot outlines and flow. I love her voice in this story. She has a specific style that I would enjoy over and over again.
The main character is written well. I can truly believe her to be a real person. She is complex, complicated, educated and very human. Her struggles are precisely described and her fears are realistic.
Losing 1/2 point to a sucky ending… ARRRRRRRRRRG!

I am always looking for something different to cook for dinner. Don't get me wrong. Sometimes, I just want to fix spaghetti or order out a pizza, but I think we can all agree that we tend to get into a "dinner rut" from time to time.
Now, before you go "HUH???" again, trust me on this one. It was REALLY good!!! Normally, I would put something like this in front of my kids and they would look at it…… sniff it…. and walk around it like a curious animal before pushing it with their nose over to the side, then eating the stuff they really wanted. *Did I just refer to my kids as dogs?
But NO! They ate it up. Even the little one!
It has the most subtle sweetness to it and let's be honest. Cranberry Sauce goes just fine with Turkey at Thanksgiving, right?…….Cranberry haters, don't answer that!
I liked this recipe so much, that I think I may just switch out the traditional Cranberry Sauce next Thanksgiving for something like this instead.
I did notice that the longer the sauce had time to sit in the pan, the sweeter it became. To tell you the truth, I preferred it that way.
I used frozen wild blueberries in mine because I didn't have fresh on hand. I think either would work just fine. The recipe didn't state whether or not they needed to be fresh or frozen.

I lost my Save It / Pin It buttons that would appear on each photo on my blog, when you hover over them with your mouse.
I don't know what I did to delete that, and I'm having trouble getting it back.
Anyone able to help walk me through this?
I've got a handful of fall and Halloween cards to share with you today. I listed the primary supplies beneath each photo. My favorite in this line up is the very last card. I'm crushing on those soft, neutral tones for autumn, and honestly all year-round.

I just had a tooth extracted a couple of days ago. One of the roots was fractured about 2/3 of the way down, and an endodontist said it was not worth saving. Had a dentist and oral surgeon look at it too and ultimately the tooth just needed to come out. Believe me, I tried to keep it, even if it meant root canal and a crown. After this healing is finished, I will be glad to have that pain out of the way. It bothered me for 10 years!
Hope you all are doing well, and thank you for coming by. 😁 God bless you!

Look at how derelict Grimsby care home has been transformed into a set of luxurious apartments
Sixteen designer apartments have been created at the former Hazelmere care home in Grimsby
The former Hazelmere House Care Home site, which has stood derelict since it closed in 2012, has been given a new lease of life and transformed into a contemporary collection of designer apartments.
The Victorian, two and a half storey villa on Welholme Avenue dates back to the late 1880s and developers Enque Investment Ltd worked with Cleethorpes-based Hodson Architects in the Spring of 2016 to develop plans for the spacious site.
In all, 16 premium, two bedroom residences are the result of a careful renovation project, divided into 10 apartments in the main house, four mews houses within the extension and two separate bungalows on site.
Work officially commenced in December 2017 after the site was cleared of leftover fixtures and fittings from the previous premises and significant steps have been taken to preserve its heritage and the main building, which is a Locally Listed building.

"It needed quite a lot of restoration," explained Susan Morris, director of Enque Investment Ltd.
"We had to see what we could keep and what we could restore, for example the sash windows were saved in most cases; some of the guttering and original cast iron downpipes were saved where they could.
"We have been working closely with the planning department to maintain everything.
"Very few alterations have been made inside so you still get a nice feeling of contemporary space."
Top: the initials GSL but who or what do they represent? Bottom left, the corbelling along the eves and bottom right, the finial was also saved (Image: Rick Byrne)
So many of the historic, period features have been saved, evident on the exterior of the Victorian villa; from the wall vents to the finial on the roof and the corbelling along the eves, parapets and verges.
A decorative stone above one of the front main entrances depicts the initials 'GSL' but it has not been established who or what the initials stand for. Bay windows to the lower floor and a wooden one to the upper part of the building are also original.
This village home with a unique history avoids the trappings of modern living from gas lamps to a cast iron fireplace
The 19th Century red brick exterior and original doors contrast well with the stylish interior, from the Wilton carpet-clad original staircase, to the luxurious walnut paneled lift.
Furthermore the slate roof, typical of the Conservation areas has been fully restored, along with the established tree line.

"We are so close to the town centre but you feel like you are in the country," enthused Susan.
"It's set back from the road, it's quiet and secluded."
Stepping inside, you immediately get a feeling of space, lending itself to open plan style living, with its high ceilings and tall windows - which help to keep light flooding in naturally. Throughout the villa, there are original stained glass windows randomly located, which give character to living or bedroom spaces.
"All of the flats are slightly different, that's one of the joys," added Susan.
"It's very contemporary, a lot of people have looked at them and said to me it's just what they have been waiting for.
"All are finished to a very high quality, we've raised the bar of what's on offer."
One of the contemporary kitchens (Image: Rick Byrne)
Some of the apartments are on split levels, others have galley style kitchens, whilst the upper floor enjoys two, very spacious, loft style apartments to maximise open plan living. The four mews residences each enjoy their own external front door and private garden.
And the two bungalow apartments each benefit from their own external front door. A communal garden is located at the rear of the main house.

Each apartment and residence has been individually designed and fitted to the highest standards, from en-suite bathrooms, to wet room style showers and rolltop baths with claw feet - the fusion of period features and modern living sits well.

With a plethora of security features, prospective residents can be rest assured that they can feel safe at all times, with CCTV, lighting, keypad entry and electric gates.
An open day for viewing will be held on Saturday, April 28 from 10am to 5pm. For more information go to www.hazelmere-house.co.uk

Niklaus Weckmann, též Nyklas, Nikolaus, Niclaus byl německý řezbář činný v letech 1481 - 1526 v Ulmu. Je jedním z hlavních představitelů Ulmské školy.

Život
Spolupracoval s dílnou Jörga Syrlina mladšího, která dodávala skříňové oltáře a zaměstnávala také ulmské malíře. Je doložen před počátkem německé reformace roku 1528, kdy měl v Ulmu vlastní prosperující dílnu, z jejíž produkce se zachovalo kolem 600 děl. Od roku 1506 se jako opatrovník staral o dítě Michela Erharta. Po jeho smrti převzal dílnu jeho nevlastní syn Niklaus Weckmann mladší.

Přesné údaje o jeho životě nejsou známy, ale zachovaly se údaje o platbě daní i objednávky jednotlivých děl, podepsané "byldschnytzer, mayster Nyklas" a "niclaus weckman, bildhawer". O zmapování Weckmannova díla se zasloužil až ve 20. století historik umění Wolfgang Deutsch. Do té doby byla řada jeho děl přičítána Jörg Syrlinu mladšímu. Velký soubor děl Weckmannovy dílny byl vystaven na zemské výstavě ve Stuttgartu roku 1993.

Dílo

Vzhledem k velikosti Weckmannovy dílny je obtížné rozlišit díla samotného mistra a jeho dílny. Přesto lze rozpoznat osobitý Weckmannův styl. U řady soch se opakovaně objevují normalizované, typické prvky a motivy ve stále nových variantách a kompozicích (17 figur západního portálu katedrály v Ulmu)

Raná díla
 1490/1495 Sv. Šebestián, Klášter Roggenburg, nyní Museum Ulm
 1492 Oltář sv. Šebestiána, Ulmer Münster
 1496–1499 S. Petr a Pavel z Tarsu, kostel St. Blasius v Bellamontu
 1498/1519 Mariánský retábl, Reutti bei Neu-Ulm (spolu s Jörg Syrlinem mladším)
 před r. 1500 různé figury ze dřeva obarvené jako šedý kámen, západní portál katedrály v Ulmu
 před r. 1500 zbytek skupiny Ukřižování, Wengenkirche v Ulmu

Střední fáze
 kolem 1500 Mariánský oltář, Schwendi
 1500 Madona s dítětem, klášterní kostel sv. Martina, Erbach
 kolem 1510 Sv. Kateřina Alexandrijská, lipové dřevo, klášter Heggbach, nyní Museum Ulm
 1511 Hlavní oltář, klášter Adelberg bei Göppingen
 1513 Rothův oltář, farní kostel Sauldorf, pak kaple Rothů v Meßkirch, od roku 1909 Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen Mannheim
 kolem 1515 Narození Krista a Klanění tří králů, původně farní kostel Attenhofen (Weißenhorn), nyní Museum Ulm

Pozdní fáze
 1520 Smrt Panny Marie, roku 1818 zakoupeno Deutschordenskirche v Ulmu, nyní v soukromé kapli
 1520 Smrt Panny Marie, Ulm-Eggingen; Motiv ist hier die dahinsinkende Maria (ursprünglich holzsichtig, jetzt Fassung aus dem 19. Jahrhundert)[14]
 1521 Oltářík, katedrála v Ulmu
 po 1521 Oplakávání Krista, Merklingen
 1524 Korunování Panny Marie, klášter Wettenhausen

Ztracená díla
Nezachovaly se některé vysoké oltáře Niklause Weckmanna, jejichž existence je dokumentována. Jiné byly rozebrány a zachovaly se jako jednotlivé sochy.
 Hlavní oltář kostela v Biberachu, zničen v průběhu obrazoborectví 1531
 Hlavní oltář klášterního kostela v Ochsenhausenu
 Větší vyřezávaný oltář v kostele St. Michael zu den Wengen (Ulm)

Large Date variety. The 1842-C half eagles is known with a Large Date and Small Date variety. The former is more available and this adds date pressure as many collectors of high grade Charlotte fives do not want to spend $100k or more on an Uncirculated Small Date. The 1842-C Large Date is rare in Uncirculated with an estimated dozen or so known, including at least three or four coins in the MS64 to MS65 range. This semi-prooflike example has uncommonly good eye appeal for the grade with light yellow-gold centers framed by rich orange-gold at the borders. The strike is quite sharp for the variety and there are just a few marks seen on the obverse, noticeably clustered on the lower portion of the cheek. This coin has a freshness about it that you do not see on many high grade Charlotte half eagles any more and it would be a great coin for the collector who wants a single choice early date issue for a type set.

And The Birds Rained Down
Reviewed by: Amber Wilkinson
"Every time we are away from the older generation, they're sorely missed and the action drags without their presence." | Photo: Courtesy of San Sebastian Film Festival
Louise Archambault has a strong back catalogue of television work and it shows in her third film, an adaptation of Jocelyne Saucier's And The Birds Rained Down - as she takes on enough different plot strands to fill a six-episode series in her sprawling tale of old friendship and new love set against the backdrop of a remote area of woodland threatened by forest fires. While the film features plenty of poignant moments – not least concerning the idea that it's never too late to start afresh – the writer/director struggles to juggle the multiple stories, giving an uneven result.
The framework is provided by the tale of three elderly men who have turned their backs on society and retreated to the backwoods with their dogs, where they (mostly) enjoy one another's company. The seclusion of the curmudgeonly Charlie (Gilbert Sicotte), quiet Ted (Kenneth Welsh) and not-so-recovering alcoholic singer Tom (Rémy Girard) is largely unbroken except for the occasional visit from Steve (Éric Robidoux), the manager of a nearby virtually empty hotel, who swaps provisions for weed.
It is Steve who pierces their bubble, when he brings not one, but two, women into the old men's sphere. One is go-getting photographer Raf (Ève Landry), who is hunting Ted as part of a project to track down survivors of a wildfire that ripped through the area decades before and caused those birds of the title to suffocate and rain down. The other interloper is Gertrude (Andrée Lachapelle), a newly discovered aunt of Steve's who has spent her life unfairly institutionalised at a psychiatric hospital and, after a taste of freedom for his father's funeral, is desperate not to go back.
The men, with varying degrees of reluctance, accommodate both women and a tentative relationship develops between Charlie and Gertrude - who has taken on the fresh name of Marie-Desniege. This provides many of the film's best moments, with Sicotte and Lachapelle offering gentle chemistry as their romance blossoms into something with real heat, captured warmly by cinematographer Mathieu Laverdière who, while putting the beauty of the area to good use as a backdrop, never loses focus on the people at the heart of story as Marie offers a flipside view of what freedom means. Here the film is at its most interesting, offering up different perspectives on sequestration and the right to choose your own path (dogs, it seems, don't get a say).
Less successful is the burgeoning romance between Raf and Steve. Every time we are away from the older generation, they're sorely missed and the action drags without their presence. There's also an emphasis on darker themes in the final act that feels metaphorically laboured compared to what has gone before. Ultimately, it's the romance between Charlie and Marie that lingers, not the ruminations.

Student protest at HPU campus over long pending 'statute amendment' file
Shiml: The Himachal Pradesh University is again echoing with protesting voices. This time, the students are not led by any student organization or political ideology.
About 150 students of the MBA-Rural Development Department, M.Sc. Environmental Sciences, Master of Fine Arts and Department of Disaster Management are protesting over their demands regarding the notification of the new Faculty and Department, classrooms, computer labs and recruitment of teachers to start the classes smoothly.
Pending construction work
The students of the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies (DIS) have united under the Chhatra Sangharsh Morcha
The file related to the amendment in the University statute is pending with the Governor for the last two years. Neither the university nor the governor has bothered to clear it,
said a student.
The students started a chain hunger strike on Wednesday. The strike continued on the third day. The students also staged a 'Dharna' in front of the Vice-Chancellor office.
On the third day, Vivek Negi, M.Sc. Environmental Science, and Tenzin, MBA-Rural Development, continued the chain hunger strike.
Students marched from the Integrated Institute of Himalayan Studies department to the Vice-Chancellor's office. For about two hours, students protested outside the office.
Students tried to enter the office but were pushed back using police force. The students alleged the policemen not only manhandled the students on chain hunger strike, but the girl students were abused too by male policemen.
The growing aggression among protesting students forced the VC to come out of the office. The VC did not show much concern towards the aforesaid demands, alleged the students, said the Morcha.
The pace of work on the top floor of the Science Block-A is very slow. Only two laborers are given the entire responsibility of the construction, said the students.
The academic environment is adversely affected and the project work of the outgoing batch is hampered, said another student.
The VC himself is reluctant. Otherwise, if he has a little concern towards the distress of the students, their reasonable demands, and career, he has emergency power vested in his position provided through the ordinance. He can use this power in such times, said a student.
The students warned the protest will continue until all the demands are fulfilled. The students said they want a genuine and permanent solution, not just temporary arrangements.

Himachal Shuts Down All Educational Institutes A Week After Re-Opening
Shimla-A week after re-opening for regular classes, the Himachal Pradesh Government had to shut down all government and private schools, colleges, ITIs, polytechnics, engineering colleges and coaching institutes from 11th to 25th November 2020, for students, teaching and non-teaching staff amid alarming surge in COVID-19 cases and fatalities.
The decision was taken in a Cabinet meeting held on November 10, 2020. It's pertinent to mention that the state government had re-opened the school for the students of 9th to 12th from November 2. However, during the past few days, hundreds of teachers and several students tested positive in various schools, especially in Mandi district.
Meanwhile, the unpreparedness of the state government came to light as the largest medical facility – IGMC Shimla- ran out of space in isolation wards for COVID-19 patients. It's packed to full capacity. Reportedly, another dedicated COVID-19 hospital – DDU Shimla- was also running out of space. The government has also failed to establish make-shift hospitals, which it had been promising for the past couple of months. However, Chief Minister Jairam Thakur had been maintaining in media statements that the government was prepared for all eventualities.
Questions have also been raised over the quality of protective gear provided to health staff as several officials tested positive at a COVID-19 hospital in Mandi district.
