■ Vin Suprynowicz's Jan. 15 column reported in error that former District Court Judge Don Chairez was the only one of seven applicants for the position of retiring District Attorney David Roger who had challenged Roger at the polls, losing a close race in 2010. In fact, senior Nevada Deputy Attorney General Patrick Ferguson, another of the seven applicants, challenged Roger unsuccessfully in 2006. Both challengers were eliminated by the County Commission's screening committee when it narrowed the field to three finalists.

If you use this app, your private data might have been exposed in a big data breach
Reports have begun circulating that Zee5, an on-demand Internet streaming service based in India, that's available almost everywhere globally except the US, may have suffered another data breach — this time reportedly putting some 9 million users' private data at risk of being exploited by hackers.
Previous Zee5 data leaks were reported last year. What sparked this new episode, about which Zee5 has been quiet thus far, is a tweet a few days ago from an independent Internet security researcher, who wrote the following: "9 Million users data alleged leaked from #Zee5 again!! It seems latest data leak on 23rd Feb 2021. I sure no one is going to take responsibility for this too. Now we can say that there is no value of our personal and financial data. Risk is ours."
As noted by a TechRadar report, the streaming service apparently responded to the security researcher, Rajshekhar Rajaharia, via Twitter, but this tweet has now apparently been deleted: "Our viewers' privacy is our top priority and we'll surely look into it. Kindly avoid posting such details on a public platform. Please consider deleting the same & send us a direct message with all the details. We'll look into the issue."
9 Million users data alleged leaked from #Zee5 again!! It seems latest data leak on 23rd Feb 2021. I sure no one is going to take responsablity for this too. Now we can say that there is no value of our personal and financial data. Risk is ours.#InfoSec #dataprotection #GDPR pic.twitter.com/gzFTnTQ6W9
— Rajshekhar Rajaharia (@rajaharia) February 27, 2021
Zee5 claimed to have almost 66 million monthly active users as of December 2020, and a Sensor Tower report from last summer pegged the app as one of the top streaming apps worldwide (for the month of June). At the time, the user base was by and large concentrated in Pakistan, India, and the United Arab Emirates.
According to India media site Inc42, multiple Indian ventures have been hit by cyberattacks already this year, including payments processor Juspay — which had details associated with payment transactions leaked. And as we've been reporting, even though we're only barely into the third month of the year, there has already been a slew of data breaches and other assorted infosec attacks reported closer to home, such as the hack of a vendor that could have put information at risk for anyone who has dealt with California's DMV over the past year.
Likewise, a shockingly large pile of user credentials was published on the Internet in recent weeks, as part of a data set that has been formally called the Compilation of Many Breaches (or, COMB). It included some 3.2 billion email-and-password combinations that weren't stolen as a result of a new data breach — rather, these were published in the aggregate following multiple previous data breaches.
This is as good an opportunity as any to remind everyone that it's always a good idea to check out sites like Have I Been Pwned, a searchable database of stolen credentials from news outlet CyberNews, as well as Avast's "Hack Check" site, to see if any of your account data has been stolen (in these or other hacks).

Reduce the stress of managing your rental property when you depend on our team of licensed real estate experts for residential property management services in Clovis, CA. Backed by more than 20 years of experience, our professionals help you successfully manage multi-family homes, condos, and other residential properties. Whatever needs to be done, rest assured we can do it. Our property management company has received positive results for years because we are detail oriented and dedicated to providing the highest quality customer service. We know the maintenance each unit needs, how to keep tenants happy and paying up, and ways to bring in new tenants that are trustworthy.
Owning a rental property is a time-consuming task that requires the owner to wear a wide range of different hats. There is always work to be done, and responsibilities span anywhere from financial to construction and even marketing. While you may be able to handle some of the responsibilities, there never seems to be enough time to do them all. This is true especially for multi-family home property management. The more people living in a place, the more work there is for you—albeit more profit potential as well. With us helping out, you get to keep the latter and forgo the former.
From collecting rent to screening tenants and maintaining your property, you can count on us for every aspect of residential property management. Request a free, no-obligation consultation, and we will give you an honest assessment of the building. This is the first step toward making your unit the best it can be. We'll develop a solution that answers the unique needs of your rental property and maximizes your investment potential. No matter what the condition or size of your asset is, we're confident that we can work with it.
A duplex offers double the profit of a single-family home, but duplex property management also requires twice as much work. If one set of tenants isn't having a problem, it seems like the other one is, and when they're both having problems, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. You shouldn't have to be stressed and stretched thin just to make money. That's why we're here, to take on the hard tasks for you and see to it that every tenant is happy. We have the resources to tend to all of the tenant's needs and enforce the terms of each person's lease.
Managing a duplex is much like any other type of multi-family home property management. The manager has to be accountable to all of their tenants, so they need a staff they can depend on at all hours of the day. We're available to respond to emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether one of your tenants has a clogged pipe, a broken lock, or any other type of problem, we'll provide an expedient response.
This gives you peace of mind that your tenants are always taken care of. As a result, you can expect happier tenants who will want to stay with you longer and treat your property with the respect it deserves. Whether you have 20 tenants or 200, our residential property management services are designed to satisfy all of their needs and yours as well. After all of our years in business, there's nothing we don't know how to deal with.
Whether you need our residential property managers to handle some of these responsibilities or all of them, you can expect nothing less than excellence. Our team takes your financial goals and the health of your real estate seriously, and it shows in the amount of work we put in. Our free no-obligation assessments and quotes allow you to learn about what our services would entail before you make the commitment, so there's no reason to wait. We apply our extensive experience and vast resources to all aspects of multi-family home property management.
Contact us for your consultation and we'll be glad to get started. We work with units all over Fresno, Clovis, and Sanger, California, and the neighboring areas.

Q: "Initialization of immutable value never used" but is actually used I keep getting this error of value is never used. I understand this error pops up with Swift 2.2 often, and it is because the value that is initialized is not used. BUT, I do use this value, and this error pops up 3 other times on errors that I do use and I don't know why I still get it.
Below is the code. "Difficulty" is he variable that the compiler says is not used, but as you can see from my code, it is in fact used. Anyone know why this happens?
class SettingsController: UIViewController {

// MARK: Properties

// Preferences for difficulty level of questions
let preferences = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
let difficultyKey = "Difficulty"
let questionnumKey = "QuestionNum"
var difficulty: String = "EASY"

@IBOutlet weak var Easy: DLRadioButton!
@IBOutlet weak var Medium: DLRadioButton!
@IBOutlet weak var Hard: DLRadioButton!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    readUserDefaults()
    setDifficulty()

}

func readUserDefaults(){
    let difficulty = preferences.stringForKey(difficultyKey) // <--Error

}

func setDifficulty(){
    if difficulty == "HARD"{
        Hard.selected = true
    }
    else if difficulty == "MEDIUM"{
        Medium.selected = true
    }
    else{
        Easy.selected = true
    }

}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

A: In readUserDefaults() it should be
difficulty = preferences.stringForKey(difficultyKey)

You need to remove the let: you already have created the difficulty variable earlier.
You also need to use ??, the "nil coalescing operator": preferences.stringForKey(difficultyKey) ?? "EASY", for example, to give a value even if the method call returns nil.

Senior Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs announced that they would bring back the previous Tier 1 Post- Study Work Visa (PSW) for overseas students if they're elected in the 7 May General Election.
The announcements were made during a Higher Education debate earlier this month [March], jointly hosted by Times Higher Education, Universities UK, the Higher Education Policy Institute and the Open University.
Shadow Education Minister, Liam Byrne, and Liberal Democrat MP, Julian Huppert, reiterated the commitment of their respective parties to removing students from net migration statistics.
Liam Byrne, the man credited with the introduction of Tier 1 PSW under the last Labour Government, said that he wants to see a re-introduction of the visa in some form, but not necessarily with the same conditions and requirements as before.
The pledge by the Labour's Shadow Minister for Universities, Science and Skills to remove students from net migration numbers was met with rapturous applause by those present at the debate; this consisted mainly of people involved in the higher education sector.
Byrne's promise was echoed by Lib Dem MP, Huppert, who said that the inclusion of students in net migration figures – and therefore in the current government target cap on net migration – is ludicrous.
Since the PSW was scrapped in April 2012, students seeking to remain in the UK have had to apply via the Tier 2 Visa system, which is considered a tougher immigration route for the UK. In the past Tier 1 PSW holders would then go onto a Tier 2 Visa after their visa expired and eventually gain indefinite leave to remain.
Greg Clark, the Minister for Universities, Sciences and Cities said: "I want to see the UK become the world's leading destination for foreign students."
However, from past experience it seems unlikely that if they win the Conservatives would re-introduce the Post-Study Work Visa and remove foreign students from net immigration numbers.
Clark was quick to point out that foreign student numbers had increased over the last 12 months, but did not disclose a figure. He also said that he had been 'relentlessly' reassuring Indian and Pakistani students that they are welcome in Britain.
However, where Byrne had received applause for his promises, Clark's assurances were greeted with scepticism among those attending the debate. Byrne pointed to recent headlines in the Times of India, highlighting announcements made by Home Secretary, Theresa May, of the intention by the UK government to force overseas graduates to return home before being allowed to apply for a Tier 2 Work Visa.
Byrne said that news reports such as these reflect the current view that countries like India and Pakistan have of UK immigration policy. "There's a misconception under the current government, who believe that other countries view Britain as a welcoming nation, the reality is somewhat different," Byrne said.
"The UK's reputation as an accommodating destination for international students has suffered 'profound damage' in light of a series of immigration policy blunders," he added.
Do you have a professional level contract in the UK paying at least £250 per day? If so, we can help you find a sponsor who can apply for a UK Tier 2 (General) skilled worker visa. Contact the London office for further details.


Today, I'll take into my house, to show you my "memory wall." It showcases the pictures which used to be "dreams" of mine when I was in my 20's and 30's.
Your GREAT life, is a series of the MAGIC MOMENTS that you create.
It's important that you INTENTIONALLY create MAGIC MOMENTS in your life.
Today, we talk about how.
How do you make and capture magic moments? So you remember and cherish them forever?
Take on the responsibility to make magic moments happen.
Post online. Print them. Write and tell stories about them.
Publish your book and story, or create a picture montage and share it with people that you love.
This way, those moments last forever.
Hey guys. Welcome to another daily dose of greatness quest. Today is another video episode and make sure you check us out on YouTube and trevorcrane.com to see the most recent video that we've got for this.
Today, I'm standing in front of my bathroom, I'm going to take you into my bathroom, not the one of my master bedroom, but one in the loft of our house where we have our war room. And there's movie pictures in the background here.
But the subject for today is not bathroom. It is to make MAGIC MOMENTS. And I'm going to take you into my bathroom and show you some pictures. Some pictures that used to be dreams and visions when I was in my 20s and in my 30s, but they were an idea that I had. That I wanted to create magic moments of my life with my family and have fun and adventure. And I did it.
And I now showcase those on a wall of my house. It's a memory wall and I put it in the bathroom of my are upstairs because I needed to find a place in the house. My wife would then put them everywhere else.
So I've got 1000 pictures on this wall, or maybe not 1000 but about a lot. And I'm going to show you some of them. And we're going to talk about how to make magic moments.
Okay, so welcome back. I'm about to take you in here. I just gave you the pre frame in our intro here about what we're going to spend today's time on. And I'm going to take you to the bathroom and keep my pants on. So don't worry about it.
And if you're not what if you're listening to this on audio check us out on video because I'm gonna show you some pictures of myself and my family. Some of the fun things we've done.
And I want to give you a little formula about how you create magic moments. And I may have talked about this on a previous episode previous episode. But I'll give you three steps to it right now.
And the first thing is that you make the decision that it's important for you to create magic moments.
Now, what does a magic moment to me it's something that lasts forever. It's a memory that stands out, it makes something routine special. And what makes something special? It's first of all, that you've got to make the intention that you're going to make it happen.
When my grandfather passed away. He was 92. And I asked him I was I was corresponding with him by letter. And because I wanted to engage him and talk to him and his phone calls weren't that would weren't that convenient at the time for us was difficult for him to communicate.
And I was trying to get him to refresh some of his memories he had when he had such a rich life. And he probably he knew. And we knew that he wasn't going to get out of that bed that this was kind of his last hurrah. The weeks and months before his death. And I asked him some questions.
I asked him about this favorite memories that he had the magic moments that he remembered. And instead of feeling upset about whether he was in pain, or the things that he still wish that he had done in their regrets that he had, I asked him questions to focus on his magic moments.
And when I did that he helped me create, he ended up writing me, I asked for 10. And he gave me more like 20, 20 of his magic moments. And they came up with a pattern, the pattern that I recognize, and he didn't break it down to me, didn't say, Trevor, here's the pattern of how to live a great quality of life.
But he founded the idea of greatness quest for me, which is a journey to become your best. And he gave to me the four three part formula of what it was for him to create magic moments. And what I noticed was the pattern for him. He was always doing things you passionate about. He was always hanging out with amazing people. And he was always present in the moment.
Now what I'm talking to you today that those are the three things and that's what started my greatness quest podcast. In fact, if you look back and you look at the very first episode, the very first season and the very first video I made on this I had a slight a little bit more hair really bad cough. I was trying to grow my hair at the time because I knew is going to lose it.
And so I just look horrible. I got a couple cold sores on my face. But I just started I didn't make it perfect. I just started and I shared a message from my heart. And it was the message just gave you was the three things was purpose, choose me.
Do things you're passionate about with people that are cool and you love and then be present. Like don't don't wish you were someplace else will be present in the moment. You can go check that out if you like. But today I told you that step one of creating magic moments is that you make a decision that you're going to do it.
You know, when I travel with my daughter. And when I do things with my daughter on a regular day, like on a Saturday when I when I go to the grocery store. When we go to a restaurant when I'm with my wife and we're just having a Wednesday day. It's up to me to make something magic in that moment.
Now I try to be a little funny and not always funny. I tried to be a little creative. I'm not always that creative. I try to do something a little outrageous. I typically do something little out of the ordinary and outrageous. I'm trying to do something different. I'm trying to make a magic moment that will last forever.
And what I do step number two is I think you need to capture it. Like I choose to take a lot of photos and I post them up about my life and post them on Instagram and post them on Facebook. I I put them up we create a little yearly journal and a little bit behind on creating a yearly journals right now. But I'm going to correct that and put them on my wall.
And I typically have my friends and family and the things that we do. I try to capture them with pictures. And I'm sure you do too. I'm sure you capture them all on your phone, but friend them and put them on your wall and capture it and put them into a book and publish them.
So the first book I actually ever wrote was one I wrote for my daughter when we were a strange, not a strange, but she was too and I was separated from her mom. And I knew I was going to be away from her for a while.
So I put pictures of our time that we spent together on this little vacation we had into a book and I wrote a little story few pages, 20 pages or something like that about in search for the most beautiful girl in the world. And I put pictures in it. It was like a little book I got online for one of those photo site top sites where you put some some pictures and wrote a little story.
And she remembers the memories that we created. Still to this day, when she's two three years old. She She still has those memories because we refresh them because we told it into a story because we capture those moments in such a way that would last forever both by taking pictures which is step number two.
Step number three is to publish them. Put them into a book we do a young a yearly yearbook for our family have a picture montage of all the cool stuff we've done and then I post as much as I can online more for me than for you more for my family than for you more for my daughter than for you more so than the last forever then for you and I want to give it to you too. I'm doing these videos because I want to connect with you.
And I want to help more people and I want our quality of life for this living without limits. This trying to become the best at whatever we do to be an inspiration to some people that sometimes think they can't and I oftentimes am fearful and think that I can't let me take you into my office, my second office, my third office into the bathroom here and I'll check this out. I'm going to show you I just looked at this. Hold on.
Okay, lighting may not be perfect here. But what I've got up on the wall is a picture of my own that I have a montage of some of my watersports business. This is a picture of my third pair sailboat. At one stage in my life. It was a dream to become a boat captain and have a water sports business. But and then this was like the pinnacle. I was making some videos.
Excuse me. I was taking some pictures at the time because we had expanded our water sports business to be a multiple locations. And you can see there's this bright yellow Paris sailboat at the Ritz Carlton. That's a picture of the Ritz Carlton there and some of my friends and clients that came out to pose for brochures.
We did kayak trips and scuba trips and these little kayaking adventures that were around my business that was started off as a pair cell. But business became this venture and it lasts forever. Because in my house, it's in my bathroom.
And right above our kitchen sink. Here I've got pictures of my little infant son with these little I'm now needing to do pictures smaller and smaller because we've got so many memories to put up. And what do we have here.
When I go when I went to go visit my sister in Alaska, I took a picture with the whole family. This is pre Maverick proof priests five year old five month old baby but these are this is my daughter and my sister and her husband and my wife and my two nephews and we make funny faces my thing when we took pictures is oftentimes we will capture funny faces here's my brother in law and my daughter when she was like five and then here's my wife and I dress up for disco night.
So what we do is we try to be more outrageous and create a memory and of course you can post cool pictures of this is my brother in law's wedding. If you can see that a little bit of a player and and our family. But there's my yellow smiley face parachute.
So I am publishing I'm not just taking the picture, but I'm putting them up I went to on a trip to Alaska and this is my daughter a hole and I holding these crabs that we went ahead and we take the trip. But we also post the picture.
There's a helicopter trip that I took with my my family when we went shooting guns with my buddy Tyler and his wife. When we went to Mexico to this to this Zoo that they had like normal was the goodness like this. This a camel It was like we're 12 inches from this camel. Ah. With his mouth open.
There's a giraffe that took a carrot out of my mouth and licked my face. He kissed me. I think we touched tons. There's a picture of that my daughter being a crazy freak at my sister's wedding. dressing up like a cat because she loves cats. Here's my point the real okay. And hold on the first time my wife daughter and I swam with dolphins.
So here's my challenge to you. Make it a responsibility of yours to make magic moments. So then, and then help them last forever. Print the picture, post them up. Publish your book and story and your picture montage and share it with people that you love.
Share with the people that are the most special to you. So those moments last forever. And even if your wife doesn't want you to put up all the pictures in the house find a location that you can put them up make a dream memory wall.
Before any of these things happened, they were nothing but a dream. I was broke. I was didn't have the water sports business wasn't sure I was ever going to be able to pay back in debt that I have had.
I didn't know how to become a parasail boat captain, didn't know how to become a scuba instructor lived in Arizona and I was it was hot and there was a desert and I decided that I liked the water they wanted to learn how to swim I knew how to swim I want to learn how to become a scuba instructor.
I wanted to have a phenomenal frickin life I started to create the vision for some of the memories I've got on this wall when I was in my 20s before I had the right girl only share with you one more picture who still with me I'm going to give you a picture when I used to have some some frickin apps right there's a picture someone asked this question we recently they're like what's a Is there a time you climbed a mountain stands out to you.

Make today magnificent. Take on the challenge of making every moment matter. Make it magical. Make a memory.
I hope you got some value out of this. And I can't wait to see you tomorrow on another daily dose of greatness quest.


Born in Oakland, California, Craig Baldwin attended the University of California at Santa Barbara and San Francisco State University (MA, 1986). In the Department of Cinema there, he became increasingly drawn to the collage film form. His interest in the recontextualization of "found" imagery led him to the theories of the Situationist International and to various practices of mail art, 'zines, altered billboards and other creative initiatives beyond the fringe of the traditional fine-arts curriculum.
After several photo-essay, installation, video and Super 8 projects, he produced his first 16mm production, WILD GUNMAN (20m, 1978), a dense montage of cowboy iconography, advertising campaigns and geo-political conflicts that featured playful optical-printing of an interactive penny-arcade game. Baldwin's audio-visual argument against neo-colonialist ideology was further developed in ROCKETKITKONGOKIT (30m, 1986), which utilized several narrative voices in an accelerating cinematic broadside.
TRIBULATION 99 (48m, 1991) unspooled a satiric psycho-political rant on millenarianism, xenophobia and CIA covert-action in Latin America, with flying saucer simulations and the hypnotic music of Yma Sumac. A picture-book version of the work was published by Ediciones la Calavera. ?OH NO CORONADO! (40m, 1992) inter-cut live-action Conquistador vignettes with archival footage, video-to-film FX, and a time-warped musical mix in a black-comic critique of the Conquest. The SF Foundation recognized the effort with the 1992 Phelan Award in Film Art.
... I'm interested in black-comic social critique, and also in graphic montage, rhythm, and acceleration; but above it all, I'm interested in the mobilization and manipulation and manic play with old and new meanings, as "found" footage is recontextualized with newly-produced sound and imagery, documentary testimony and collateral text. This polymorphous collage-essay form represents an effort to create an audio-visual language that has the same metaphoric and punning qualities as spoken language; clusters of signifiers in provisional constructs cobbled together. The flotsam and jetsam of film culture can serve to stage a review of the carnival acts of history.


Paul has been arguing that Jews and Gentiles alike are not made right with God (justified) or even sanctified by the law. Christ came to free people from the law, so we can be justified by faith. The law is weak because human nature hates following rules. The law had no power to change us, only to make us feel rotten – imprisoned!
So by trusting Jesus, we are justified by faith through grace. Paul points out that this is a great equaliser – it doesn't matter whether you are male or female, Jewish or Gentile, slave or free. Faith brings us into sonship. We are all sons of God, adopted into the Father's family, and recipients of the blessings promised to Abraham's offspring. That means the nature of Israel has changed – it's no longer about the land. In Matthew 5:5, Jesus changed 'Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the land' from Psalm 37:11 to 'inherit the [whole] earth'. The temple is no longer the place of God's presence – believers are now the place of God's presence, whether they are from a Jewish background or Gentile, whether they are male or female, slave or free.
Jesus came to fulfil the promise to Abraham that every family would be blessed – by extending the family of God to include anyone who believes in Him!
We are adopted! We are chosen to be part of the Father's family – chosen to be sons, chosen to receive the Spirit who gives us the sense that we are adopted, so we can cry out in intimate friendship with Father God – Abba, Father! Abba is the Aramaic word for Daddy, the intimate word that could be used by a toddler or a pensioner!
Before Jesus came we were enslaved to our old natures and the weak and elementary principles of the world – perhaps feeling the need for special days and festivals to get close to God. No need! We are close all the time!
Paul closes off this section today with his disappointment that the Galatians are retreating from wonderful grace and adoption. He's perplexed that they would leave their freedom in Christ, their adoption by the Father, intimacy with God, to go back to the dry formality of the law.
Stay free! Enjoy bold and confident access! Be filled with the Spirit, who gives you power to know God as Abba and to be holy!

6 Dispensing equipment for "Voyager" supplied by Heineken Maltsters on the ball APPOINTMENTS Export manager military sales, R. Marijnen, works within the Duty Free Department of Heineken Export. His responsibilities include the sale of Heineken beer to (almost) all military bases of the U.S. Army.This excludes the bases in the United States itself. All in all, Heineken beer is offered for sale to some 600,000American military personnel and, in view of the sales volume, they certainly appreciate that Heineken taste. Selling Copper Kettle Heineken beer on military bases throughout the world During and particularly after World War II the Americans established a large number of military bases all over the world in a brief space of time. Most bases are located in Europe and the Far East. All these military personnel are sent beer from their "own" brewers back home. Heineken, which has been exporting beer to the United States with growing success since the mid-thirties, saw a big market opportunity in the military sector and soon found out that the American Army appreciated Heineken beer. In the meantime British and Canadian bases have also become Heineken customers.The bases in West Germany, where 250,000 troops are stationed, form the most important market. But the Pacific region, with countries such as Japan, the Philippines and Korea, is also an important sales area for Heineken. How is Heineken beer actually sold to the military? "We use the services of a business which specialises in sales to the American army. The business is called Milbrands and the Milbrands representatives tour military bases throughout the world offering an extremely wide-ranging package of products. From aspirins to baby's nappies and from nose drops to vacuum cleaners. Heineken beer forms part of that package", says Mr. Marijnen. "The Milbrands representatives know exactly how you have to sell in that market. On Heineken's behalf they not only maintain contacts with the buying departments at the bases, but they also visit the shops on the bases to make sure that Heineken beer is always in stock.They also develop promotions, together with the storekeeper, so as to maintain brand awareness. And, on occasion, they even make a speech praising the quality of Heineken beer during party evenings and provide surprise gifts likeT-shirts and sun visors printed with the Heineken logo.Those are very popular with the Americans." Heineken Nederland B. V. recently supplied beer dispensing equipment for the "Voyager"a bus filled with the very latest communications facilities for use in all sorts of events. VIP guests and the news media can make use of the almost unlimited services available in this bus. Apart from a dish aerial mounted on the roof (to transmit and receive satellite signals), the bus has fifteen telephone lines, two semi-professional TVcameras, a telecopier for transmitting documents such as press photos, plus audio and video systems and a computer which provides access to external databases. And, of course, the "Voyager" also has a well- stocked bar. Not only the dispensing equipment but also the beer cooling system and the glassware were provided by Heineken-Holland. B. Stewart and B. Mancini are two of those Milbrands representatives who do such great work for Heineken. Over the past year they've really excelled themselves. Which is why Heineken decided to turn the spotlight on them and thank them for their dedication by presenting them with the Copper Kettle Award. Apart from the miniature copper brewing kettle, they also received a scroll describing their exceptional achievements for Heineken. Bruce Stewart, who covers the bases in Southern Germany, made special efforts last year to promote sales of the 50-cl Heineken can, and with great success. Bob Mancini achieved further growth in the market in Italy. From left to right: R. Marijnen, export manager military sales, B. Mancini and B. Stewart of Milbrands, and Heineken's Export Director, Mr. J. van der Zee, during the presentation of the Copper Kettle Award. Mr. M.O. de Savornin Lohman was recently appointed Area Marketing Manager Africa. His former post was that of Marketing Manager for Ibecor in Brussels. Mr. De Savornin Lohman will be succeeded in Brussels by Mr. P. Hottois. Mr. B.D.J, van Rompu has been appointed Regional Co ordinating Manager for Canada and the Caribbean. Mr. Van Rompu was the Commercial Manager for the Caribbean. His successor will be Mr. W.B.J, van der Breggen, who will be based in Curasao The new Regional Export Manager for Africa and Duty Free is Mr. E.G. Morham. Until a short while ago he held the post of Marketing Manager with the Amstel Brewery in Canada. In October 1983, following the renovation of the Albert Malting Plant in Ruisbroek (Belgium), new staff had to be taken on. Since the malting plant has no social club for employees, some way had to be found to let the staff get to know each other outside of working hours. The answer was to set up a new soccer teamA name was soon found for the new team: F.C. Heineken.The eleven players are certainly doing the Heineken colours proud, as F.C. Heineken has already won twelve of its fifteen matches.The team plays against local firms, amateur clubs and also teams of policemen, firemen and local council employees. 'JfuJkiitcb, Steniirt

The Polynesian Maori reached New Zealand in about A.D. 800. In 1840, their chieftains entered into a compact with Britain, the Treaty of Waitangi, in which they ceded sovereignty to Queen Victoria while retaining territorial rights. That same year, the British began the first organized colonial settlement. A series of land wars between 1843 and 1872 ended with the defeat of the native peoples. The British colony of New Zealand became an independent dominion in 1907 and supported the UK militarily in both world wars. New Zealand's full participation in a number of defense alliances lapsed by the 1980s. In recent years, the government has sought to address longstanding Maori grievances.

This post is a little different, as in it's a lot lighter than my last few posts. I wanted to share some of the products that I'm in love with right now. I've been LOVING the following products: Philosophy Amazing Grace Ballet Rose, Shea Moisture 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara, Vanity Planet Forever Young Hot & Cold Rejuvenating Facial Wand and Lauren's All Purpose Salve.
This firm body emulsion is EVERYTHING!!! Ok it's mainly everything because it keeps me smelling like roses ALL DAY!!! Once I started wearing this lotion I kept getting compliments on how good I smelled. Most people don't know but I've wanted to be this woman for so long. The one who smells and looks like she just stepped out the house at all times. That just has never been me, by the end of the day my makeup is definitely no longer in place (still working on this) and I def smell like I've been walking around New York City all day. BUT NO MORE!!! On top of the amazing smell it nourishes my skin and in this New York winter that's a huge task. It's not greasy, where my skin is super shiny and gets all over my clothes. I honestly just love this lotion.
I use this coconut oil so many different ways. My favorite way is to use it to remove my make-up as a "Double Cleansing" method before I wash my face. It's helped to clear up and soften my skin. Most people think using oil on oily/acne prone skin is a no no. Oil cleansing actually helps your skin to balance its oil production. Your skin senses there's oil on the skin so it doesn't produce more. I've used it to cleanse my face by it self and I've followed it up with a face wash. Both ways work great!!!
I got this mascara at NYFW from a social media vending machine just for tweeting lol. Crazy right?! I haven't bought Maybelline in a while and I had just tried another drugstore mascara a few weeks prior and hated it. So I didn't have high hopes for this one, just saying. But I'm so glad that I was wrong. I don't even know what this mascara promises to do but above all else it lengthens my lashes. It's a great because it doesn't get super clumpy. I apply from root to tip but concentrate and few extra applications from the middle of my lashes to the ends.
This device right here has been so instrumental in shrinking my pores. I absolutely love it! The wand has 4 different settings Hot, vibrating hot, cold and vibrating cold. The hot setting can be used to open up your pores to help with serum and face mask absorption. I mainly use the cold setting after I've washed my face to help shrink the pores on my face. It's helped to significantly shrink my pores for tighter, smoother skin. It's compact so i take it with me when I'm traveling. The battery is rechargeable so you don't have to worry about having to buy batteries. I accidentally got sent two so i'll be giving one away, keep reading to find out how to enter.
I've literally only had this product for a few days but I already love it. It's rich, it's nourishing, it's thick and it's all natural. I try my best to keep all natural products in rotation as much as possible. This salve has the consistency of a body butter and leaves my skin feeling amazing. I've only used it on my hands and face, usually at night. It's the perfect consistency for a "night cream" and my face looks and feels amazing the next morning. I haven't tried as a day cream because it seems too thick to put under my makeup. The website lists so many uses for this one product, I think the possibilities are darn near endless.
I hope you get a chance to try one if not all of these amazing products. All these are in my daily rotation and I hope they can become your faves too.
GIVEAWAY: To enter you must be subscribed to my mailing list and follow me on Instagram. Once that is complete comment below on this post with your IG handle. Must be 18 y/o and live in the United States. Giveaway Ends 3/30, winner announced via Insta stories 4/1.


The National Audit Office has published a report today on HMRC's administration of Scottish income tax, including the final calculation of Scottish revenues for the 2016/17 tax year.
The Auditor General for Scotland, Caroline Gardner, provides additional assurance to the Scottish Parliament on the work of the NAO in this area.
In her accompanying report, she says the NAO's approach was reasonable and covered the key audit risks. She also draws attention to the main findings in the NAO report, and sets out what they mean for the Scottish budget.
Both reports will be presented to the Scottish Parliament's Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee.
Scottish income tax is a key part of the substantial package of new financial powers being delivered because of the 2012 and 2016 Scotland Acts. Scottish taxpayer data for the 2016/17 tax year will be a key input to future budget calculations, starting with the upcoming 2019/20 Scottish budget.
"Accurate identification of Scottish taxpayers is fundamental to the effective operation of the Fiscal Framework, and to ensure that the right amount of tax is collected from individuals.
"I am pleased that the NAO has been able to report that HMRC has implemented adequate processes and that the outturn of income tax for 2016/17 is fairly stated.
Ms Gardner has reported extensively on the implementation of the new financial powers. She will produce a further update on how the Scottish Government is managing the implementation of the new social security powers in spring 2019.
Audit Scotland recently published a briefing on the operation of the Fiscal Framework, including arrangements for Scottish income tax.
Any enquiries on the Auditor General's Scottish income tax assurance report should be directed to pmcfall@audit-scotland.gov.uk on 0131 625 1663 or media@audit-scotland.gov.uk.
Media enquiries concerning the NAO report should be directed to harriet.craig@nao.org.uk in the NAO press office.

Tesla Announces Initial $1.5M in K-12 Education Grants
CARSON CITY, Nev. – As part of its commitment to contribute $37.5 million over five years to K-12 education in Nevada, Tesla announced an initial $1.5 million in funding grants at today's Nevada Board of Education meeting. The goal of the investment is to encourage students of all backgrounds to consider a career in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) or sustainability, and to develop the next generation of engineers in Nevada.
"An integral part of our vision for the new Nevada economy is developing an educated workforce that meets the demands of the industries coming into our state," said Gov. Brian Sandoval. "With this initial investment, even more students in Nevada will be exposed to STEM education and we are grateful to Tesla for their commitment to education in Nevada."
Tesla announced the following education grants today:
$315,550 to FIRST Nevada and $127,100 to Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (VEX) as part of a multi-year investment for the establishment of a quality robotics program at every school in Nevada.
$263,924 to the Desert Research Institute for the initial development of a statewide teacher training infrastructure focusing on robotics and STEM, with future collaboration in partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
$262,700 to The Envirolution, Inc. for the Project ReCharge initiative, a STEM-based program which collaborates with community partners, school districts, teachers and students, to deliver hands-on education related to energy, sustainability, and project-based learning opportunities that empower students to make local schools and businesses more energy efficient.
$200,000 to Jobs for Nevada's Graduates (JAG Nevada) to deliver mentoring, employability skills development, career association, job development, and job placement services to students across the state. JAG Nevada will be developing a new Education to Employment pathway across Nevada industries, and expanding access to 20 percent more students with this first investment.
$154,083 to Sierra Nevada Journeys (SNJ) to foster students' STEM passion and achievement at an early age. SNJ will provide 250 scholarships for students in underserved communities to attend the Overnight Outdoor Learning program at Grizzly Creek Ranch, increase access to SNJ STEM programs to 900 additional students, and kickstart a new Girls in Engineering camp in partnership with Tesla team members.
$76,643 to Energetics Education, Inc. to pilot the Solar Rollers program in Washoe County. This initiative challenges high school teams to design, build, test and race sophisticated solar-powered radio-controlled cars while learning the fundamental concepts of a complete energy system.
$50,000 each to the Clark County and Washoe County School Districts as part of the establishment of multi-year special assignment roles in career technical education (CTE) offices to train and implement programming from within, while also supporting neighboring districts.
"The demand for STEM jobs in Nevada will continue to grow dramatically over the next few years," said JB Straubel, Tesla's Chief Technology Officer. "That is why we're investing in initiatives that inspire students to choose a career in STEM and sustainability, and give them a foundation for success."
Tesla selected these entities in collaboration with an advisory group comprised of Nevada education leaders, business leaders, non-profits and government officials.
"Tesla's commitment supports our vision of becoming the fastest improving state in the nation in education," said Steve Canavero, Ph.D., Superintendent of Public Instruction. "Lofty goals such as these don't materialize in a vacuum. In addition to the partners we have in our school districts and charter schools, we have also sought out partners in industry. Tesla has been incredibly collaborative and thoughtful in providing us data and evidence based material that will help inform our decisions and their investment in the new Nevada economy."
Tesla will be making continuing investments in existing initiatives, and regularly announcing new entities receiving funding on a quarterly basis, pending investment reviews. In addition to this K-12 investment, Tesla currently has a high school graduate apprenticeship, the Manufacturing Development Program, encouraging Nevadans to learn about manufacturing fundamentals in partnership with the Governor's Office of Economic Development, and regularly hosts students and teachers at Gigafactory 1 near Sparks, Nev. Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy. Tesla builds not only all-electric vehicles but also infinitely scalable clean energy generation and storage products. Entities interested in learning more about this investment and opportunities to partner with Tesla can reach out to educationprograms@tesla.com.

Learn the basics of Java programming language and how to develop programs with conditionals and loops, design and implement recursive algorithms, understand basic mechanisms of the Object Oriented Paradigm (OPP), use and interpret the API of some of the most common Java classes and real-world android application development using the Android software development kit (SDK). This course provides the basic skills to ensure a start with Android Studio Editor and use Virtual Device.
This course is part of the GalileoX Android Developer MicroMasters Program that is specifically designed to teach the critical skills needed to be successful in this exciting field and to prepare you to take the Google Associate Android Developer Certification Exam. To qualify for the MicroMasters Credential you will need to earn a Verified Certificate in each of the four courses and the Final Capstone Project.
Exercises are far to simple.
Some explanations are not in depth enough to show the real nuance of the subject.
Some instructors are hard to understand. (example victor orozco) In other courses I have been able to depend on the CC to help me adjust to accents. The CC for this course has wrong words and misspelled words. It has not been reviewed for content so sometimes it decreases my understanding of what's being said. I find this troubling as I'm known in the office as the person who deals the best with heavily accented English in clients.
I'm finding the course quite tough as my java experience is not great. I need to look things up elsewhere for additional examples etc. However, I am enjoying the course and it is pushing me ahead and covering a lot of new material.
