There Will Be No My Hero Academia Chapter this Week
By Nick Valdez - August 9, 2019 05:28 pm EDT
My Hero Academia's been embroiled in one of most intense arcs in the series to date as the manga has shifted the focus to Shigaraki and the League of Villains as they're suddenly challenged by another villainous group for dominance. Each new chapter has brought about new reveals and more information about this small group of villains than fans had ever expected to see, and the potential for a major status quo shake up is just on the horizon.
Which is why waiting for each new chapter of the series is a bit tougher than the last, and unfortunately fans will have to wait another week for Chapter 239 of the series. Due to a brief Weekly Shonen Jump break, Chapter 239 will not be available until August 18th.
Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump will be taking a week off on the August 11th release of the magazine, meaning new chapters of series like My Hero Academia, One Piece, and Dr. Stone will be on hold until the August 18th release. When My Hero Academia's next chapter does release, fans can actually check it out through Viz Media's weekly digital offerings at the link here.
My Hero Academia's manga has been exploring Shigaraki pretty heavily, and there has been a question of what the series will look like after his major power boost. Series creator Kohei Horikoshi recently teased with Volume 24's release in Japan that Izuku Midoriya and the rest of the hero world will be returning in the next volume, so that means this villain focused arc will be nearing its end.
With the villain arc nearing its end, and Midoriya's hero course shaken up after the joint exercise with Class 1-B, the manga is going to seem like a whole different series when the next full arc begins. But the next step isn't going to be released until August 18th.
My Hero Academia was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015. My Hero Academia is gearing up for an even bigger end of 2019 with both a fourth season of the anime and second big anime film.

New York State has one of the best run and best financed pension systems in the nation. Employer contributions to the system have risen in the past few years due to the damage done to the markets and our nation's economy in 2008-2009 by the very same Wall Street firms that seek to benefit from these changes to the pension system. Instead of cutting pensions for workers, we should focus on ensuring that corporations and the wealthiest New Yorkers are paying their fair share of taxes.
Governor Cuomo's Tier 6 pension proposal would cut retirement benefits by 40 percent by reducing the multiplier used in determining benefits from 2 percent to 1.67 percent; raising the minimum retirement age to 65, excluding all overtime from pension calculations and changing the Final Average Salary calculation period from three years to five years. It would also increase the time needed for vesting from 10 years to 12 years. In addition, it would require new employees to contribute from 4 percent to 6 percent of their salary based on how much they earn.
Lastly, the Tier 6 proposal would establish a competing Defined Contribution system that would pull employee contributions out of the Pension system, fail to provide retirement security for those who opt in and turn billions of dollars in administrative fees over to Wall Street in the form of commissions. This despite the abject failure of defined contribution plans to either operate more efficiently or create real retirement security for either public or private sector workers.
We strongly condemn the Tier 6 plan as it would cut pension benefits for new hires by 40 percent and pull billions of dollars out of the State and City Pension systems to turn over to Wall Street financial firms.
Tier 6 is simply unfair to public workers who have already made significant sacrifices.
The AFL-CIO stands with public sector workers in New York in fighting for retirement security and against Wall Street greed.

Careers in Heritage Day at the Royal Commission
On Thursday, 12 March, students of archaeology, history, geography and heritage in general came from all over Wales to the Royal Commission's Careers in Heritage Day held in collaboration with the Britain from Above project. Students had the opportunity to listen to talks by the Royal Commission's archivist, Gareth Edwards, and its aerial investigator, Dr Toby Driver ─ two very different occupations in the heritage sector! There were presentations on a broad range of heritage specialisms: the Britain from Above community project, technical survey, maritime archaeology, CBA community archaeology placements, People's Collection Wales, GIS mapping and heritage publications. Visitors were also able to explore the resources of the National Monuments Record and talked to our Reader Services staff. As you will see from the photographs and the feedback comments, the day generated much enthusiasm and interest!
"Very informative- thank you. Careers advice useful. Hopefully I will progress in this Heritage Sector".
"I haven't used the Royal Commission to its full advantage. I will recommend their facilities to other Aberystwyth students".
"Britain from Above website helped me with an assignment. Very good day, informative and useful."
"Very informative, particularly on the specifics of Lidar. Thank you".
"Very informative& engaging. Thank you for such a great opportunity. Talks v.good".
"Wedi dysgu llawer iawn heddiw ac cael dysgu mwy am y datblygiad o y lle dwi yn byw". (Learned a lot today and have learned more about the development of where I live.)
"Diwrnod diddorol, wedi gwneud i mi feddwl am yr swyddi i mi gael yn yr dyfodol". (Interesting day, made me think about the jobs available for me in the future.)

Working with Trimsaran village to create a 3D model map
During the recent half-term school holiday, Britain from Above was working in the village of Trimsaran between Kidwelly and Llanelli to create a 3D model map of the village to showcase at the National Eisteddfod being held in Llanelli this summer.
Residents of Trimsaran came to take part by either: bringing along photographs, maps and memorabilia to share with the project; telling stories about their experiences of the village over the years; or by showing off their craft skills designing, decorating and creating the village, homes, trees, roads and other landmarks to the add to map ready to exhibit at the Eisteddfod.
Hard at work creating their village!
We made a few special visits during the week, first to the Trimsaran Family Centre to make houses and trees, with the preschool children and their parents, to decorate the map. The children enjoyed creating their own houses and finding them in the modern pictures of the village, whilst the parents explored the Britain from Above website (between making roofs and colouring in bricks!
Finding their houses and then creating them on paper!
The Children of the Family Centre with their additions to the map!
We also visited the Lys-y-Godian complex to speak to some of the residents about their memories of the village. They shared some of their stories and photographs with us, in particular about the bridge out of the village towards Kidwelly, which at one point was the only road out the village in that direction. It is now too narrow for the modern width of buses, but when buses were first introduced they could just fit between the walls of the bridge although, when a bus was coming across the only option was to stand in the bridges indents to let it pass. They warned us too that you should never cross it under the light of the full moon, as you may see the ghosts of Spudders Bridge throw themselves into the dark waters below!
Residents of Lys-y-Godian looking at the 1st-4th edition maps of the village along with Aerofilms images of the nearby areas.
The week was a great start to the project, with plenty of information and buildings being added to the map, with room for more to be included before the start of the Eisteddfod.
The village as it stands so far, plenty of room for more additions!

Whitesands Bay Wreck revealed as the BOLINA of Bideford!
The remains of the Whitesands Bay Wreck in 2014
Peter Davies, St David's Historical Society, provides identity for the Whitesands Bay Wreck – the BOLINA of Bideford
Following our blog about the Whitesands Bay Wreck on 25 February 2014, Mr Davies has kindly sent information collated for an exhibition in 2003 by the St Davids and Dewisland Historical Society, which confirms the identity as the Bideford Brig BOLINA.
The BOLINA was carrying a cargo of iron bar, tin plates and pig iron from Newport to Liverpool and was driven into the bay by a northwesterly gale on 22 February 1833. Cargo to the value of £439 was salvaged from her by Messrs Starbuck of Milford. The shipping intelligence column of the Cambrian News, 16 February 1833, confirms that the BOLINA (under the command of her master Heay) had set sail from Newport with a cargo of iron and tin plate.
The loss is recorded in the diaries and notebooks of David Evans (1833-1920), which were printed in a private publication Who's Who from Tobias Codd, available from Haverfordwest Library. David Evans was an eyewitness to the wreck of the 'ALADDIN' or 'MLADEN' some 17 years later. The crew of this Austrian brig were initially taken to his farm at Tŷ Gwyn before being given shelter at the Commercial Inn. The MLADEN's cargo of wheat was recovered by local people and taken to be washed and kiln dried. Much was later used for animal feed.
A very special thank you to Mr Davies for getting in touch.

People's Collection Wales refresh supports Llangollen's Chain Bridge Project
On Friday 20 February, the Royal Commission was in Llangollen taking part in the Linking Memories training session held as part of the exciting new Chain Bridge Project. The project aims to restore and allow access to Llangollen's impressive early nineteenth-century chain-link bridge, which may be the earliest bridge of its type in the western world.
Llantysilio Chain Bridge as it is today (courtesy of the Chain Bridge Project).
This year the project will be working to collect local people's memories and memorabilia of the cast-iron bridge, especially photographs, documents and oral histories. These will be made available on the newly improved People's Collection Wales website, which is funded by Welsh Government and delivered by the Royal Commission, National Museum Wales and the National Library of Wales.
The Chain Bridge Project's Heritage Officer (and Royal Commission staff member), Samantha Jones, outlined the history of the bridge, which finally closed in the 1980s. The bridge was purchased by Llantysilio Community Council and Llangollen town council in 2011, and funding has since been obtained for its restoration and for the collection of people's memories relating to it. The Royal Commission's People's Collection Wales Officer, Helen Rowe, introduced the People's Collection Wales website, which has just undergone a refresh, making it more user-friendly than ever before. She explained how the website is perfect for the storage and dissemination of the memories gathered by the Chain Bridge Project. Helen outlined the history of the site, which was created as a platform for the people of Wales to share and access material relating to the history and heritage of Wales. She gave examples of some of the many and varied items already added by heritage institutions, museums, libraries and archives, as well as by groups and individuals. Helen explained how material on the site is shared under the terms of the non-commercial Creative Archive Licence and how important it is to follow the copyright guidelines when uploading material. She then explained how easy it is to upload digital material in a variety of formats, including audio and video.

David Crane from Llangollen Museum gave an informative talk on best practice for digital archiving and Lorna Jenner rounded off the day with an excellent workshop on oral history interviewing techniques.
The training session was both informative and inspiring, and we look forward to viewing the full and fascinating story of the Llantysilio Chain Bridge on the People's Collection Wales website in the near future! To learn more about the history of the bridge, check out the story of Exuperius Pickering and the Llantysilio Chain Bridge on the People's Collection Wales website at http://www.peoplescollectionwales.co.uk/content/exuperius-pickering-and-llantysilio-chain-bridge.

ONE FINE DAY FROM DÜSSELDORF WIN THE TROX FOCUS DESIGN AWARD UNDER DIRECTION OF PROF. HOLGER HOFFMANN.
Our expectations have been exceeded: 28 architecture offices in Germany and Austria took up the TROX GmbH challenge and created a front plate for an air terminal device, or diffuser. A high-calibre judging panel analysed and evaluated the unique submissions during a meeting in December 2014. While the overall concept, design, economical operation and look were important, the technical function was equally critical. In the end, however, it was the OP ART X suggestion by one fine day architects from Düsseldorf that completely convinced the judging panel and won the TROX FOCUS DESIGN AWARD.


U.S. equities are under pressure this morning with the Dow Jones Industrial Average off 300 points. Aside from today's performance, equities are off to a favorable start in 2019. The trade-war tensions seem to be easing and the market mostly ignored the government shutdown, which is now temporarily reopened. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S&P 500 have all risen more than 12% over the past five weeks.
With recent dovish commentary by the Fed, the futures market isn't pricing in a Fed Funds hike probability greater than 29% at any of the 8 meetings this year. This is certainly helping to stabilize the market, but will it last? After spending 6 months in 2018 in the 4% to 5% range, Atlanta Fed GDPNow has come crashing back down. Since the start of November, the index hasn't been able to push above 3% and it currently sits at 2.722%. The economic surprise index remains negative at -0.173 with four of the six sectors in negative territory.
The 10-yr Treasury is currently 2.740% and the long bond is 3.048%. Investors have been looking to put excess liquidity to work over the past couple weeks as the 10-yr Treasury yield is up 20 bps in January. There continue to be portfolio rebalancing opportunities for clients. Many of these involve increasing interest income to help fight margin compression from higher funding costs. Given we are only months away from being in the longest expansion in the history of the United States, we are also focusing on strategies that mitigate credit risk in case a recession is on the horizon.


Not all abs are created equal. Some girls need to work their abs to exhaustion before they can even flatten out their bellies, while other gals seem to get their abs to pop without doing a single situp.
Regardless of where you fit on the fitness spectrum, the following exercises will get your abs to show in little time. This workout is designed to target all three planes of your core – frontal, lateral and transverse; and with the circuit style routine, this workout's intensity will remain high and you'll burn tons of fat – everywhere.
How this workout routine works: Perform each exercise for 30 seconds one after the other with 10 seconds rest between moves. Start with 2 circuits and work yourself up to 5 circuits. For maximum results, perform this workout 3 times a week on non-consecutive days.
Load the bar with 10-pound plates and kneel on the floor behind it. Your shoulders should be over the bar.
Brace your abs and roll the bar forward, reaching in front of you until you feel your hips are about to sag.
Lie on your back with legs straight and extend your arms by your sides.
Lift your heels about 6 inches and rapidly kick your feet up and down in a quick, scissor-like motion.
Set a barbell on a power rack at about shoulder height (if you don't have a rack, clean it to your shoulders).
Grasp the bar with hands at shoulder width and raise your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
Take the bar out of the rack and let it rest on your fingertips—as long as your elbows stay up, you'll be able to balance the bar.
Step back and set your feet at shoulder width with toes turned out slightly. This is important – squat as low as you can without losing the arch in your lower back.
Lie on the floor and hold onto a bench or the legs of a heavy chair for support.
Keep your legs straight and raise them up until they're vertical.
Lower back down, but stop just short of the floor to keep tension on your abs before the next rep.
Sit on the floor in the top position of a situp and, holding a medicine ball with both hands, extend your arms in front of you.
Explosively twist your body to one side and then twist back. Alternate sides.
Hold the ball with both hands and get into pushup position on the floor.
Drive one knee up to your chest and then quickly drive it back while you raise the opposite knee.
Get into pushup position and bend your elbows to lower your forearms to the floor.
Hold the position with abs braced.
Lie on your left side resting your left forearm on the floor for support.
Raise your hips up so that your body forms a straight line and brace your abs—your weight should be on your left forearm and the edge of your left foot.
Get The Results You're After – FAST!
If you want to get a flatter, tighter and more toned stomach even quicker, without sacrificing a ton of time and effort, you should consider using the 4 Week Diet plan to shed belly and back fat. The 4 Week Diet plan has only a few smart, easy-to-follow guidelines as to what you should eat and when you should eat—that are most effective for losing fat all over your body, especially around the stomach and back areas—and the superior techniques are all backed by science. Many women who have used the 4 Week Diet plan have reported losing up to 30 pounds in just 28 days.
The 4 Week Diet plan has produced amazing results for thousands of women who had wanted to get rid of their flabby bellies—and it does it without millions of rules. Try it for yourself today—see the 4 Week Diet plan now.

Su Lum: Heart attacks
Columns Columns | Feb 4, 2004
Last Friday evening Robert Harth, the ex-CEO of the Aspen Music Festival who had moved up to head Carnegie Hall, died of a heart attack. He was 47.I didnt know him, but he was clearly a man of verve, charm, humor and chutzpah, a fireball of energy who blazed into Aspen with the permanent music tent and Harris Hall among his credits when he left to shake things up in New York City.My mother would be the first to recognize the irony of Harths sudden, premature death in the prime of his life while she, at 97, had a heart attack on Wednesday evening, the quick exit shes been counting on, and she survived it. This was her fourth heart attack in the past 7 or 8 years, so she knew at once what it was. The sweaty faint feeling, anxiety, sensations down her sides that couldnt really be defined as pain but an indication that something was very wrong.She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure over a decade ago and looked at it as her ace in the hole, but it was not to be last Wednesday.She had been under the weather for a couple of days, perhaps a portent of the heart attack to come. On Wednesday morning, she and Carol, her dear Jamaican caretaker, debated whether she was strong enough for her morning shower. Carol left the decision up to my mother who, after thinking it over, said I think Id rather die clean, and was wheeled to the shower.Carol called at 4:30 a.m., their time, to say theyd had a rough night but my mother was finally sleeping. At her standing direct orders, 911 was not involved in the event.I had a heart attack! she said cheerfully when I called her the next morning. She was a little bit swacked on drugs, but assured me not to worry about her, this was what she wanted.My mothers doctor visited her, confirmed the heart attack and, when pressed, said there would probably be more, one of which would carry her away. But there are no definite answers. When pressed 10 years ago, the same doctor estimated that she had two or three years remaining.When Hospice took her on a year ago, she saw it as confirmation that shed be dead in six months.After this last heart attack, my mother was almost euphoric. Something, at last, was actually Happening, this was it, dont mourn for me, Im ready.But my mother is also a realist. She has had dozens of rallies and, as her condition improves, is now renewing her efforts to get to an ophthalmologist for a glaucoma exam and a new prescription for glasses. In New Jersey, the logistics of getting a bedridden woman to an eye doctor are more complicated than getting an astronaut on Mars.She lost the battle not to outlive her teeth, but she is determined to outlive her eyes.My mother would have traded places with Robert Harth if she could, but we dont have those options in real life. Real life is arbitrary. And if one of those lives was too short and the other very long, both were well lived.[Su Lum is a longtime local who fears her genes.

Meghan Markle, Prince Harry announce first royal tour 'as family'
Author: Justin Sullivan ; Last update: 30 June , 2019 17:11:11
Washington D.C. [USA], June 29 (ANI): Meghan Markle and Prince Harry hired a third nanny in six weeks to take care for their son Archie after the previous two stopped working for the royal couple amid rumours that Duchess of Sussex is hard to work for.
Now, with her new role in the royal family, Express suggests that this could be part of preparing Kate for a bigger role when she becomes Queen. The Duke of Sussex will spend time in Malawi and Angola and he'll also carry out a short working visit to Botswana which the official announcement said would take place "on route to the other countries".
Weeks after welcoming their first child into their lives, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will soon embark on their first official royal tour as a family.
"Looking forward to seeing pics from this first trip with Archie", one said.
Meanwhile, the palace has officially confirmed that the Sussex royals will be going to their official tour of Africa with their baby Archie Harrison.
"That's great news for us", said Nigel Casey, the British High Commissioner to South Africa.
LeBron James Gifts No. 23 With Lakers To Anthony Davis
The Lakers opened another max contract slot on Thursday by expanding the Anthony Davis trade to include the Washington Wizards . It's clear that Los Angeles will attempt to add some shooting alongside LeBron and Davis with those targets.
Meghan, 37, was named in March as vice president of the Queen's Commonwealth Trust, an organization that supports and connects young leaders in the Commonwealth, which includes countries in Africa.
Africa is also close to both Harry and Meghan's hearts.
Although the 34-year-old royal is more familiar with the polo field - he recently headed to Rome, Italy, to play in a match supporting his Sentebale charity - this isn't Harry's first brush with America's pastime.
Also, there were laughs right after Prince Harry entered the Yankees clubhouse.
Earlier, New York manager Aaron Boone presented Meghan with a tiny version of the Yankees' famous pin-striped shirt emblazoned with Archie's name and the number 19, while Red Sox players gave her a baby-grow in the team's colours.

Introducing: Vacheron Constantin Overseas World Time 7700V, the luxury worldtimer sports watch – Specs and Price
calendar 10/05/2016 | ic_dehaze_black_24px By Frank Geelen | ic_query_builder_black_24px 6 minute read
This year, at the SIHH 2016, Vacheron Constantin came with a brand new Overseas collection, and they introduced no less than 5 models: the automatic 3-hand 4500V, the Chronograph 5500V, the Ultra-Slim 2000V, the Ultra-Slim Perpetual Calendar and a ladies' version (that we didn't cover.) That's already a complete collection, you could say. Especially for a newly introduced collection. However Vacheron Constantin decided to launch some more Overseas models, and what could make more sense than the sporty chic Overseas with the most befitting complication for this type of watch, a worldtimer. Here's the new Vacheron Constantin Overseas World Time 7700V. Oh and it comes with the Geneva Hallmark quality seal, and is available in three different colours.
I guess we could say that 2016 is a proper Overseas year for Vacheron Constantin. After a few modest years, in terms of novelties, the brand already made a strong impression with last year's Harmony collection that comprised a host of new movements. By the end of last year the Genevan brand impressed friend and foe by presenting the most complicated watch in the world. And a few months later, in January of this year Vacheron Constantin introduced a complete new Overseas collection, and again with new in-house developed and manufactured movements. They are on a roll! However Vacheron meant to add some more horological goodness to the already lovely Overseas family, by adding their well-known worldtimer complication. This is by the way, the only (mechanical) worldtimer that indicates the time in 37 time zones around our blue planet.
The Dial – Recently we reviewed thee beautiful worldtimers, all with a worldmap depicted on the dial. Two of these worldtimers – the VC Traditionnelle World Time was one of them – feature a rotatable worldmap in thhe centre of the dial and that makes it easier and faster to see the time in a specific place on earth, at a glance. The new Overseas World Time also features this worldmap on the dial, with nice juxtaposition between the sunburst satin-brushed finished continents and the oceans feature a velvet finish.
Around the worldmap – this way to depict the continents and oceans is called a Lambert projection map – is a translucent lacquered disc bearing the city names. Placed over that city-name ring and the worldmap, is a sapphire disk that provides day/night indications by means of subtly graded smoky tints, which is connected to the 24-hour disc. On the perimeter is a translucent lacquered velvet-finished outer ring that serves to indicate the hours and minutes in each time zone.
Alltogether there are three superimposed dials:
The worldmap, or actually this is a map of the northern hemisphere, with sunburst satin-finished continents & velvet-finished seas. On the same level is a translucent silver-toned/blue/brown lacquered disc with transferred city names
A sapphire disc with transferred day/night and 24-hour indications (period between 6.30pm and 6.30am highlighted with a black background)
Translucent silver-toned/blue/brown lacquered ring, opaline-finished, transferred minute-track
The central hour, minute and second hand are in 18K gold, an dthese are highlighted with white luminescent material for better legibility in dim light conditions. All functions can be set via the crown.
As you have seen in the photos and from the description, there are three interpretations: a blue, a silver-toned and a brown dial. From these images I find it difficult to judge how it looks 'in the metal', and it's even more difficult to pick a favourite, however we'll keep you posted once we have the change to go hands-on with the new Overseas World Time.
The Case – The stainless steel case measures 43.5 mm in diameter, and is 12.6 mm thick, which immediately makes it the biggest timepiece in the new Overseas collection – the new Overseas Chronograph 5500V is a millimetre smaller in diameter, however it's a millimetre thicker. Like its Overseas siblings it features a soft iron casing ring to ensure anti-magnetic protection, and the crown is a screwed-down crown. With a water resistance to depths of a 150 metres it is a very practical luxury sports/casual watch, that also looks great to go with a suit and tie. In fact, with its world time complication, it is intended as a traveler's watch, and I can perfectly imagine that it fulfils all the timing needs of a traveler.
The choice of straps that it comes with, only makes it easier to combined it with various outfits or situations. The steel bracelet can easily be exchanged for a rubber strap, or even an alligator leather strap. The easy-fit system is a very practical solution for exchanging these bracelets, and their folding clasp, without any tools, while guaranteeing the same firm hold as on any traditional fixed bracelet. The entire watch, comprising the beautifully finished in-house movement, the case, dial, and bracelets, has been tested and approved according to the stringent Geneva Hallmark quality seal requirements. The Geneva Hallmark has been stamped onto the movement that is visible through the sapphire pane in the case-back.
The Movement – The photo above show the easy-fit system to exchange bracelets, and you can also see the movement with a thin soft-iron ring surrounding it. The movement at hand is the Vacheron Constantin calibre 2460 WT – WT stands for World Time – and it's the almost the same movement as used in the previously discussed Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle World Time. I say almost, because the only real difference between the one in the Traditionnelle WT and this Overseas WT is the rotor: here it features the exact same wind rose rotor, crafted from 22k gold, that is also used for all other new Overseas models.
Vacheron Constantin calibre 2460WT is entire developed, manufactured, finished and assembled in-house and is holds a patent for its worldtimer mechanism. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and enjoys a 40-hour power reserve. Needless to say… the movement has been finished to the very highest Haute Horlogerie standards; otherwise it would not be adorned with the Geneva Hallmark!
Of all three luxury sports watches from the Holy Trinity (Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet) only Vacheron offers one with a worldtimer complication. For this segment – the luxury sports watch segment – it is probably the most useful complication one could imagine. Sure, an ultra thin luxury sports watch with a perpetual calendar looks absolutely great (breathtaking to be honest) and a chronograph adds some extra 'sportiness', however in the end a functional and useful worldtimer is a complication that will actually be used frequently by those who travel the world, and/or do business around the world.

Nicolas Sarkozy to appeal
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy will appeal against a court decision that found him guilty of corruption and influence-peddling and sentenced him to three years in prison, one of which is a real term.
This is reported by BFMTV.
Recall that the verdict was announced on March 1 in the so-called "wiretapping" case: Sarkozy was tried on charges of trying to bribe a judge in exchange for information about the investigation of the financing of his party.
"We will prepare an appeal against this decision… This decision is absolutely contrary to what happened at the meetings," said his lawyer Jacqueline Lafon, calling the sentence excessively harsh and completely unfounded.
She noted that the former president calmly accepted the verdict, but is determined to prove his innocence in this case.
Two other defendants, former Sarkozy lawyer Thierry Herzog and former judge Gilbert Azibert will also appeal. They received the same sentence — three years in prison, two of which were suspended.
Sarkozy, who led France from 2007 to 2012, became the first ex-president in the country's modern history to be sentenced to a real prison term.
Only one former president, Jacques Chirac, had been tried before-and convicted in 2011-for fictitious employment in Paris, but he never appeared before the judges for health reasons.
This is the fourth case against Sarkozy. On October 16, 2020, Sarkozy was charged with participating in a "criminal group", in the case of suspected financing of his election campaign from Libya in 2007.
In addition, between March 17 and April 15, 2021, a trial is scheduled for illegal financing of the 2012 election campaign, in which spending figures were allegedly underestimated.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Selects Holland & Knight to Participate in New Initiative Assisting Military Members
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (May 13, 2019) - Holland & Knight will devote significant pro bono resources to support the Governor's Initiative on Lawyers Assisting Warriors (GI LAW), a new program announced by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on April 18. The initiative aims to leverage the talent of Florida's leading law firms to provide legal services to military members.
"I'm proud to be able to lead this remarkable effort to provide our active duty service members free legal services from some of the best law firms in our state," said Governor Ron DeSantis. "This is a big win for our service members and our military here in Florida and I commend all those involved for their commitment to our military."
Holland & Knight Partner Bob Grammig will serve on the GI LAW steering committee, which is led by Chuck Faircloth, General Counsel of the Florida Department of Veterans' Affairs.
"We are privileged to be part of this program," said Mr. Grammig. "Holland & Knight has had strong involvement in pro bono military assistance programs over the years and we are confident that we can render services on a wide range of issues throughout the state of Florida. We share the governor's goal of making Florida the most military-friendly state in the nation and this program is a small, but important part of making that goal a reality."
Through GI LAW, Florida's active-duty men and women will receive free legal counsel in a variety of civil matters, including actions in local courts. Florida-based law firms Akerman, Greenberg Traurig, Gunster and Shutts & Bowen were also selected by the governor to participate.
Learn more about Holland & Knight's Veterans Group and the numerous pro bono and community service projects Holland & Knight undertakes to assist veterans, active duty military members, reservists and their families here.

Dave Hyde: Dolphins have given Tua Tagovailoa…
Dave Hyde: Dolphins have given Tua Tagovailoa everything he needs to succeed
New Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill holds his first news conference in Miami Gardens on Thursday. (Carl Juste, AP)
PUBLISHED: March 28, 2022 at 10:18 a.m. | UPDATED: March 28, 2022 at 10:18 a.m.
Not one position was missed, not one box went unchecked. Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa got the fastest receiver in the league in superstar Tyreek Hill and the best left tackle on the market in Terron Armstead.
He got two running backs, a fullback, another talented receiver and offensive lineman and two re-signed tight ends — all to fit into new coach Mike McDaniel's scheme.
Help? Tagovailoa got it.
Anointing? He got that from McDaniel, too.
Competition? Teddy Bridgewater even brought that final, feisty piece with his first words as a Dolphin. That was perfect. Bridgewater's presence should give another push to confirm the Dolphins' decision on Tua, assuming it's the right one.
Tagovailoa should come in with the mindset to blow away Bridgewater from the first minicamp. Outwork him. Outplay him. Show every player on the team he's a much better quarterback with all the additions to this offense.
This is the first time in five years it's fun to think about the Dolphins. General manager Chris Grier and McDaniel said they wanted to upgrade the talent around him this offseason — and they upgraded beyond what anyone expected with Hill's addition.
Does any team have a more dangerous receiving duo than Hill and Jaylen Waddle? Anyone improve more on the offensive line than the Dolphins with the signings of Armstead and former Dallas Cowboys guard Connor Williams? Did anyone rebuild a broken-down offense like this?
The Dolphins have proven they can't draft properly, so they went the Los Angeles Rams route. They bought players. They traded the value of a full draft for Hill. Did they overpay? Absolutely. It's always risky in the NFL when a team considers it's a player away — and that was the idea here.
Hill can be that good, though, that impactful. But here's risk here and it's not small risk considering the amount of money and draft picks the Dolphins threw at Kansas City. Hill averaged 14.7 yards a catch in 2020, in what was his lowest since his rookie season. He averaged 11.2 yards a catch last year.
Why the drop-off? The Dolphins had to come to some understanding on that. They also had to consider why smart football minds like Chiefs coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach opted not to keep Hill. Was it just money? Why not keep him for one more year and another run for a Super Bowl?
Here's the Dolphins thought: We have money. We have a two-year window before our young players will be needing bigger contracts. The biggest decision will be on Tua. We need to get great players around him to see who he really is.
Now it's on Tua. There are whispers he hasn't worked hard enough, whispers about why he didn't know the playbook his first year as he admits, whispers about why he and coach Brian Flores had harsh words at halftime of the Tennessee finale last season.
None of that matters now. What he does matters. His strength the first two seasons is not losing games. That's important for a quarterback. He's 13-8 as a starter. But more will be asked of him starting with drubbing Bridgewater in offseason workouts considering he threw the gauntlet of competition before Tua.
"Honestly, that's a conversation I'd rather keep in house," Bridgewater said this week when asked what his role would be. "It's a unique opportunity, and I'm happy to be part of it this season. To be the best version of Teddy I can be. Help the best way I can help. Be genuine. And giving all to this game."
Is he a backup or a competitor to Tua?
"That's something the coaches and I, we talked about," he said. "I'm confident in that conversation, and it's really something I'd rather not discuss."
So there's a potential public-relations firestorm and quarterback-room rift here. So what? They're running an NFL team, not a charity.
Does Tagovailoa want to earn this team's leadership in a manner he didn't last season?
Go put Bridgewater in his place this spring and summer. Show him who's boss — and, by extension, show your new teammates as well. That's how you go about leading a team, not simply by being handed the job.
Tua has been cast as some poor martyr the first couple of years. Some of that's warranted. The Dolphins publicly considered replacing him with Deshaun Watson last year. They surrounded him with suspect offensive talent last year.
But there are no excuses now.
Because if there's a debate come September, Tagovailoa or Bridgewater, it's a loser's debate. Neither are top-10 quarterbacks in the AFC right now.
No? Here's that top-10 list right now: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert, Deshaun Watson, Lamar Jackson, Ryan Tannehill, Derek Carr and Matt Ryan.
Tua needs to be there by the middle of next season. He has the new help. He has the new offensive coach. He even has a push from Bridgewater. Every box was checked this offseason, every good move made.

Dagon era inițial zeul fertilității la asiro-babilonieni care a devenit un important zeu semitic, zeul grânelor (ca simbol al fertilității) și al peștelui/pescuitului (ca simbol al multiplicării). El era venerat de primii amoriți și de către locuitorii din orașele Ebla (astăzi Tell Mardikh, Siria) și Ugarit (astăzi Ras Shamra, Siria) (care a fost un oraș antic în apropierea Mării Mediteranene și care conține o mare varietate de scrieri antice și de altare pre-iudeo-creștine). El a fost, de asemenea, un membru important sau poate chiar conducătorul panteonului filistenilor biblici.

Numele lui apare în ebraică ca דגון (în transcriere modernă - Dagon, tiberiană ebraică Dāḡôn), în limba ugaritică ca dgn (probabil vocalizat ca Dagnu) și în akkadiană ca Dagana, Daguna.

Even dan players must learn Go rules!
Do you know why Robert Jasiek (sum on KGS) likes New Zealand rules? I know the reason!
Most of his opponents play passes instead of filling dame points at the end of the game. You can see good example here.
White won this game by 1 point, because he got more dame points.
William Shubert, if you read this post, please think about adding a special message-reminder at the end of the game, so nobody will pass, if they use NZ or Chinese rules!
The AGA rules allow for the players to declare the game to be over by mutual agreement that only dame are left. However, if one player passes and the other player fills in the dame, the player who passed loses one point.
All things considered, it seems best to me for both players to just go ahead and fill in the dame. Assuming both players know where they are, this shouldn't take any time at all. If two players decide to end their game before all dame are filled, that kind-of implies that they know where all the dame are anyway. If one player passes while there are still dame, and the other player fills it, well, that's just part of the game. In all games, it pays to know the rules.
Sorry. I thought the "troll eliminator question" was a real question.
I like New Zealand Rules because they are simple and correct. I like AGA Rules less because they are less simple. I like KGS-AGA-Rules less also because it is not a proper implementation of AGA Rules. I like Chinese Rules less because they contain ambiguous ko rules. I like KGS-Chinese Rules less also because it is not a proper implementation of Chinese Rules.
I like area scoring rules because they are, or could easily be made, simple and correct.
As soon as the players have agreed to play under a specific ruleset or to abide by the tournament rules prescribing a particular ruleset of rules of play, it is each player's task to choose good tactics and strategy under the used rules and their scoring method. A player's mistake (such as not filling "two-sided dame") is his tactical / strategic mistake. The fact that it is his mistake also means that it is not the opponent's mistake. The opponent might make the same mistake during his plays. I prefer to play tactically / strategically correctly whereever possible; therefore, it is rare that I make such an easy mistake.
Peter Cook, everybody must know area scoring. It is well know that New Zealand Rules use area scoring. The very few players, for whom this fact is unfamiliar, either ask at the beginning of the game, refuse to play or don't care for their late endgame mistakes. This has nothing to do with the EGF Rules Commission, in particular because playing a game is not an activity of the commission. Instead of making the sarcastic remark "Very honourable.", you could ask yourself why you want to blame an opponent for a player's tactical / strategic mistakes.
It is not polite to pass if there is still damepoints left. So if someone looses points because of rules, she deserved it! There is also problems with tournaments, because in tournaments dames must be filled and thus people make ridiculous dame mistakes even in dan level, because some people are used to not fill dames. There are huge amounts of potential problems with dame fillings, so it is just better to fill them.
I also play always with NZ rules, because they allow suicide and more importantly there are not halfpoint komi available, but jigo is possible. It is always delight when difficult game ends up to be jigo.
In his case, though I don't know him very well, I think it will be because he believes these are better rules.
Personally I almost always double-check the rule set before passing during the endgame - a lesson from past experiences of this sort.
But if we're suggesting stuff to mr. Shubert, I'd like to ask for Fischer time system, I think it works great for Go.
Are you on some crusade against Robert?
First the video and then this.
Well personally I think, if you agree to a game, you should at least understand the fundamental features of the ruleset.

\section{Introduction}
A lot of work is being done in recent times to find a suitable system to physically implement qubits, which are the fundamental building blocks of quantum computation. Some of the leading candidates are superconducting qubits, trapped ion qubits, NV$^{-}$ center based qubits etc. One of the leading contenders among them is spin qubits based on planar quantum dot systems~\cite{loss1998quantum}. It is implemented using spins of electrons confined in the quantum dots. In a single qubit system, a static magnetic field is applied to a single confined electron. This causes a split in the degenerate spin energy level, thus giving rise to a two energy-level system. These two energy levels are used as two states of qubit. An ac magnetic field having a frequency equal to the transition frequency between the two energy levels is used to implement gate operations.
But like many other qubit systems, these spin qubits also suffer from noise due to decoherence. Interaction of the confined electrons with the environment is the major cause of decoherence in these systems and this in turn decreases the fidelity of the gate operations. The two major physical phenomena causing decoherence are hyperfine noise arising from nuclear spin fluctuations and phonon interaction mediated by spin-orbit interaction coupling ~\cite{taylor2006hyperfine,amasha2008electrical,khaetskii2001spin,san2006geometrical,marquardt2005spin,borhani2006spin}.

In this work, we investigate the effect of change of ac magnetic field value on the fidelity of single qubit $NOT$ gate operation in presence of decoherence. From this study, we show that the range of static magnetic field for which high-fidelity gate operation can be carried can be increased by manipulating the ac magnetic field. The paper is structured as follows: in section \MakeUppercase{\romannumeral 2}, we  discuss the model used to simulate the system dynamics including decoherence. In section \MakeUppercase{\romannumeral 3}, we discuss the results followed by conclusion.

\section{Simulation Methodology}

This section provides the methodology followed to simulate the effect of ac field value on fidelity of gate operations for a single quantum dot based spin qubit system in presence of decohrence. We use the Lindblad Master Equation to model the dynamics of our system, that is given as follows:
\begin{equation}\label{Master_Eqaution}
 \frac{d\rho(t)}{dt}= L_0 + L_D.
\end{equation}

\begin{equation}\label{Master_Equation_Cohrent_Part}
 L_0= -\frac{i[H(t), \rho(t)]}{\hbar}.
\end{equation}

The terms $L_0$ and $L_D$ capture the coherent and non-coherent parts of the dynamics of the quantum system, respectively. $L_0$, in general, is given by Eq.~\ref{Master_Equation_Cohrent_Part} where $\rho(t)$ denotes the state of the quantum system at an arbitrary time instant $t$ and $H(t)$ is the Hamiltonian for the closed system. The Hamiltonian $H(t)$ has the general form $H = -g \overrightarrow \mu . \overrightarrow B$. For our system, this expression is given by Eq.~\ref{Hamiltonian}
\begin{equation}\label{Hamiltonian}
 H(t) = -g\mu B_{static}\sigma_z - g\mu B_{ac}(cos(\omega t )\sigma_x - sin(\omega t )\sigma_y)
\end{equation}

where $g$ is the gyro-magnetic ratio, $\mu$ is the magnetic moment of electron and $\sigma_i$'s are the Pauli matrices where $i=\{x,y,z\}$. The non-coherent part of the Master Equation $L_D$ has the form given below
\begin{equation}\label{Non_cohrent_master}
 L_{D}=\sum_{n}\frac{1}{2}( 2C_{n}\rho(t)C_{n}^\dagger-\rho(t)C_{n}^\dagger C_{n}-C_{n}^\dagger C_{n}\rho(t))
\end{equation}

where the operator $C_n$ corresponds to the $n^{th}$ decoherence operator due to hyperfine noise and phonon interaction.

\section{Results}

Following the simulation methodology discussed in the earlier section we obtain our results. First, we initialize our system to $\ket{\downarrow}$ state and then apply a $\pi$ pulse. After that we measure the probability of finding the qubit in $\ket{\uparrow}$ state. We do this for different values of the static magnetic field keeping the ac magnetic field constant.
This whole sequence is repeated for different values of ac magnetic field.

(b) Static magnetic field value for which probability $P_\uparrow$ drops to $0.9$ as function of ac magnetic field value. In this regime of $B_{static}$, hyperfine noise is the dominant decoherence mechanism.}
\label{results_for_low_B}
\end{figure}

For the results obtained in Fig.~\ref{results_for_low_B}, we vary the static magnetic field $(B_{static})$ between $5$ mT to $15$ mT  keeping the ac field $(B_{ac})$ constant. This is repeated for various values of $(B_{ac})$ in the range of $0.05$ mT to $0.25$ mT. Decoherence due to hyperfine interaction is dominant for such low values of the static magnetic field~\cite{mehl2013noise}. It is observed that for a given value of the ac field, the lesser the value of $B_{static}$ more the decoherence as can be seen in Fig.~\ref{results_for_low_B}(a). The horizontal line $(T_{U})$ in Fig.~\ref{results_for_low_B}(a) denote the probability $P_\uparrow = 0.9$. The points represented by $B_F$ is the value of the static magnetic field for which the probability $(P_\uparrow)$ drops to $0.9$ for a certain value of $B_{ac}$. We can clearly see in Fig.~\ref{results_for_low_B}(a) that for higher values of $B_{ac}$, the values of $B_{F}$ is lower. In Fig.~\ref{results_for_low_B}(b), we plot the values of $B_F$ for different $B_{ac}$ values. It can be clearly seen from this figure that a higher value of $B_{ac}$, results in a lower the value of $(B_{F})$. This clearly shows that higher values of $B_{ac}$ can suppress the effect of decoherence due to hyperfine interaction to a certain extent.

\vspace{0em}
\label{results_for_high_B}
\end{figure}

For the results obtained in Fig.~\ref{results_for_high_B}, we vary the static magnetic field between $1$ T to $8$ T and the ac magnetic field is varied between $20$ mT and $50$ mT. Phonon interaction is dominant for such high values of the static magnetic field causing decoherence~\cite{mehl2013noise}. For a given value of the ac field, the higher the value of the static field $(B_{static})$, the more the decoherence as can be seen in Fig.~\ref{results_for_high_B}(a). The horizontal line and the points denoted as $B_F$ in Fig.~\ref{results_for_high_B}(a) denote the same quantities as earlier. We can see in Fig.~\ref{results_for_high_B}(a) that for higher values of ac field $(B_{ac})$ the values of $B_F$ is higher. In Fig.~\ref{results_for_high_B}(b), we plot the values of $B_F$ for varying $B_{ac}$ values. It can be clearly seen from this figure that for higher values of $B_{ac}$ we can work with higher values of $B_{static}$. So, it can be said that higher values of $B_{ac}$ can suppress the effect of decoherence due to phonon interaction to a certain extent.

In summary, we observe that a higher value of ac field mitigate decoherence at both high and low magnetic fields. We think this might be due to the fact that raising the value of the ac magnetic field decreases the $\pi$-pulse time (faster gate operation). Therefore, our system gets much lesser time to interact with its environment and this leads to lesser decoherence and a better performance of the system.

\section*{Conclusion}
 We have shown that we can obtain a high fidelity $NOT$ gate for much larger range of static magnetic field by increasing the ac magnetic field. This allows us to have a greater flexibility with both control parameters. Furthermore, we plan to undertake a similar study for multi-spin systems and other gates as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ChrisT from I love this I bought this for my dad's new laptop, and I think I might get one for my own laptop. I'd used the Akasa variant of this before, but it didn't have the caddy that allows you to make an external ODD. The caddy makes this one so much better. I mean, you never know when you'll need to use your ODD. For reading, the caddy will work fine with the power from one USB; however, it also comes with a USB power cable in case you need to burn a disc. Also, the HDD tray has a built in usage LED, which I think was a nice touch.

Extras Are The First To Be Abandoned

Thank you so much for the support, Curufin! (10/10)
Enjoy reading and hope this can make your day better!
I judged the situation calmly.
Jason Evanders was a man who was admired and respected by all the nobles, so it would have been a shock to the nobleman that Clyde could somehow beat him up.
He hadn't just attacked a man named Jason Evanders, but the face of nobles as well as being the idol among them.
Everyone was looking at me with eyes asking for Clyde to be punished severely.
Jason Evanders said in the midst of this situation.
"I think jealousy must be really scary."
"Don't you think so, duke?"
"Jason Evanders."
Jason turned his head and looked at me after he stared at Clyde with a look of contempt.
"I need to be treated because I'm hurting a lot. I would like to be moved somewhere for a bit accompanied by the Princess."
"And Duke Darrenhill."
Clyde got up from his position and bowed his head without even making eye contact with me.
"Wait for me in the drawing room. I'll decide on what to do about you at that time."
He nodded.
I added as he looked distressed and really helpless.
"This time… Promise me that you won't leave first."
When I said that, he raised his head to look at me. I smiled softly at his shaking gaze.
"I'll be waiting for you. Promise me."
"Let's end the ball here. Let everyone return home safely."
"Your Highness, please… akhem, I mean, you have to give proper punishment to Duke Darrenhill."
"I only asked you to take good care of Lord Evanders."
"I think he is hurting a lot…"
I nodded when the nobles looked hesitant and were about to voice their thoughts.
"Indeed. I'll take care of this on my own. Everyone, please do not worry and return home. Security guard."
"Then, anyone over here?"
"I'm here to accept your order."
The servant bent one arm slightly in front of me and bowed his head.
I told them.
"The guard will tell the rest of the soldiers that the ball ended earlier than scheduled and keep the guests safe while they are leaving. And the servants also have to inform all of the servants to escort guests with utmost courtesy and clean up the ballroom afterwards."
"I will take your order."
I nodded my head at their determined voices and turned to Jason Evanders who was waiting for me.
I took the lead. It was extremely a relief that the nobles disappeared and there was no need to flash a smile at home anymore now.
I had imposed the task on all of the servants and said I would have to talk with Jason alone before heading to a quiet room.
As soon as the door closed and I turned around, Jason locked me up between the wall and his body.
He spoke quietly while tilting his head and turned his back against the light.
"Your Highness… Would you like to take a look at my wounds?"
He lowered his head and leaned closer to me with his arms against the wall.
"I think he hit not just one or two places on my shoulder and body but I felt pain all over the place."
I stomped hard on the man's feet because I had enough listening to his rant.
Jason bit his lower lip, which had already beaten up once with a painful expression on his face.
I took the opportunity when the gap emerged between us to escape from his arms. And I looked at him while speaking up.
"What did you do to your Clyde?"
"You should've stayed quiet if you are doing a favor for me. And don't be mistaken. I'm not on your side right now, I'm simply angry at you."
"Clyde?"
He replied sulkily.
"I'm your man yet you are siding with Clyde? Even though I got hurt?"
He walked slowly and drew near to me.
"Didn't you just tell me you would treat me, Your Highness? Isn't this a little different from what you had promised in front of the nobles a moment ago? Was I just fooled by you?"
"Why did you do that?"
I looked up straight at him without avoiding him approaching me.
"I'm not as stupid as you thought, so let's just get to the point, okay?"
"Why did you mess with someone who was just standing still and quiet? Do you think I would assume Clyde Darrenhill had hit you first out of nowhere? Don't be ridiculous. Nobles believe in those foolish words, but I'm not. You were the one who did something first to him. You were the one to bother him first."
"How can you say that?"
He said as if he just realized something.
"Eh… Do you like that person more than me? Is that the reason?"
"I even got hurt."
"Have you gone crazy?"
"Stella, I was wrong."
He came closer and caressed my cheek.
The man moved his lips slightly as he licked his lips slightly. Just like when he was thirsty.
His drooping eyebrows and darkened gaze caught me. Was he going to use his beauty and pulled a badger game now? I shook his hands off while thinking about those ridiculous as well as funny ideas and said to him.
"You should have apologized to Clyde in front of those nobles earlier. That is the thing which has been bothering me since earlier."
When he tried to reach out to me again, I grabbed his wrist and said.
"Don't say my name so carelessly. Unless you want me to reveal blatantly that I'm not your princess. Do not dare to presume I would tolerate your action."
After saying those words, I shook his hand with all of my strength.
"Call me Stella one more time."
"What are you going to do, then?"
He didn't yield and retaliated against me.
I took one step closer and overwhelmed me with his frame.
His face while looking down at me was cold.
"What could you take from me? Not even a scratch on my face. You, how far could you go when you couldn't even reprimand me in front of the nobles earlier? You knew better than anyone else that they would trust me, not the dog-fighter duke, Stella."
At the end, his hand slipped through my hair and grabbed my chin. His thumb pressed against my lips firmly.
"What are you going to take away from me, properties? Even if they are gone, money would still come back to me. From the moment I breathe until this moment when we are fighting, my time is turning into money. But you…"
"What's wrong with you?"
"So, does the great Jason Evanders even like me, the ragged princess of the Imperial Family, who has already been ruined once and returned with many sorts of difficulties with the power of the duke?"
I held his hand which was wrapped around my cheek. His face remained cold.
I took a step closer to him after turning away his hand from my cheek. He flinched when the drops of blood ran down his dotted cravat.'
"No. It was just ridiculous. It must have been fun and cute to use and take advantage of the princess in your own way. You must've thought Clyde was also a mere toy for you. You must have wanted to ruin my debutante from the beginning. That's your real intention."
I poked his hard chest.
It's painful,
"…How dare you, don't ever call me by my name whenever you want. It makes me feel dirty every time I hear it."
"Don't touch my people. I can't stand it because I'm really upset by the fact that Clyde was hurted by a person such as you."
He was still looking at me with an expressionless face without opening up his mouth to speak. I took a step back and stared at him.
"You have a knack for making people feel miserable. Do you know that?"
"Don't ask Clyde and me to side with you after making us both feel miserable. Because I'm conscious of you who were surrounded and supported by those people? Don't get me wrong."
I grabbed his cravat and spoke while looking straight at him.
"Because you value the trust of the nobles in you too much. I was trying to get it and use it as a knife to aim at you when things go awry for you."
"I hate the Imperial Family, you, and those nobles in the same way."
I left the room after uttering those words for the last time.
Lady Fairfax, the maid, repeatedly told me when I headed to the drawing room after finishing my first business.
"He is also the one who brutally assaulted Sir Jason Evanders and ruined the ball. Please be careful."
"I will, Lady Fairfax."
"Your Highness, if you need an escort, I'll call in your mercenaries…"
"It's fine. I can go alone."
Leaving behind the maid and the servants who looked at me with concerned gazes, I opened the door of the drawing room with both hands.
After the door had been closed behind my back, Clyde and I were the only people in the drawing room just like the first time we met. Clyde was lowering his head while looking out at the window.
He spoke in a tormented voice when I tried walking closer to him.
"I will gladly obey you if you punish me."
"Therefore, please just stay right there. You don't have to come to me."
"Why can't I go there?"
I spoke calmly like the princess who needed to adjudicate on something before deciding for a ruling, however I couldn't help being unwavered at the end of my words. The man spoke with his head down.
"Because I'm a monster. I, the subject of an unwelcome illegitimate child, appeared in Your Highness' debutante and assaulted the nobleman."
He couldn't answer my question.
Then he answered after quite a while.
"Because he said something offensive to me."
"Yes. That's all."
He told me not to come to him earlier, but I took a step forward and headed toward him.
He didn't look at me and was still lowering his head.
"Raise your head and look at me, Duke."
When I said so, he carefully raised his head and looked at me standing next to him.
The miserable tears in his eyes made my heart throb. But he still smiled brightly at him without showing his feelings.
"Duke Darren Hill is a great knight for my beloved sister, Daisy and was sweet enough to build a mansion that his childhood friend dreamed of together with him when they were still young.
The piano, the ceiling that went well with the scenery of four seasons, and the spacious garden were so beautiful, enough for me to run around it.
"There were so many furniture in the hallway to make our hide-and-seek game fun."
"You promised to protect my secret place, and even when the emperor asked you to bring me back into the room again, you disobeyed your superior's order and took me out.
Is that all? I told him I don't belong to anyone. So Clyde Darrenhill, as the Princess of this Empire, I said you are not a monster."
The tears in his eyes formed into a drop and slowly passed down his cheeks.
"And as your childhood friend…"
I took a step closer to him.
"Are you alright?"
The man bit his lower lip and bowed his head when I said that. He couldn't raise his head for a while and I patted on his back.

Conditional formatting is a helpful way to quickly, easily and accurately pinpoint specific data in Excel by automatically coloring the cells containing data or data ranges you specify.
You can highlight cells containing data that is greater than, less than, between, equal to, cells that contain a specific word, phrase or number, cells that have a date occurring between a specific range and duplicate and unique data. You can also highlight top & bottom counts or percentages, above/below average and you can fully customize the fill & text colors and font.
Best of all, once you've used conditional formatting, you can also sort by cell color, so if you format by top and bottom 10 using different colors, you can sort and have those colors appear wherever you choose in the column.


New Delhi July 28: Latest progress in bilateral trade which mounted from $200 million four years ago to $ 1.5 billion this year between India and Pakistan has encouraged the officials from both sides to hold more talks to tender more co-operation to each-other.
In this wake the secretary level talks are scheduled to be held on July 31 to find out the solutions for the problems in enhancing their commercial ties between two countries.
A delegation from Pakistan led by commerce secretary, Syed Asif Ali Shah will participate in two day fourth round of talks with his Indian counter part, G K Pillai.
Issues likely to make place on the table in the secretarial talks are the opening of the bank branches in each other's country to avoid the transaction through either American or European banks which charge $220 for every transaction.
FIFO (Federation of Indian Export Organisations) also made similar suggestions that India and Pakistan should carry out mutual trade in their own currencies rather than in international ones by fixing the exchange rate.
This transaction in local currencies can be facilitated only when the branches of Indian banks are opened in Pakistan and vice versa.
Another issue to surface in the talks is related to transportation of goods and transit trade. Both the countries are willing to push the boundaries of the trade items of trade basket.
India would look at the prospect of the import of cement from Pakistan.
The issue came to the surface when Pakistan P M Shaukat Aziz discussed with Dr. Man Mohan Singh on the side lines of the SAARC meeting that Pakistan could export cement to India.
Pakistan has expressed its interest to export cement in view of the high growth in the sector in their country if India waives additional custom duty and countervailing duty.
India plans to include molasses too in the list of import items along with cement as Pakistan has got the surplus of molasses too.
The issue of opening more trade points and transit trade with central Asian countries is also likely to come up as Pakistan has refused earlier to increase the trading points.
Other trade issues joint registration of basmati rice, linking of capital markets and facilitation of business visas not addressed till yet are likely to surface.
India and Pakistan look forward for a joint geographic indicator on Basmati rice so that no other country could sell or patent any rice under basmati brand.
Indian high commission has opened in India a drop box visa application facility for businessmen to visit India and would seek the reciprocation of the step.
This is also to be known that India still seeks most favoured nation status from Pakistan who has been bestowed the same by India a long ago.
A joint study group would also meet after the secretary talks which would address the Pakistan's grievances about high tariffs.
This round of talks is a corollary of the previous ones in which officials had talks on Sir Creek issue, Tulbul navigation project and on terrorism and human trafficking etc.
Both the nations also look forward to holding trade exhibitions. The continuous rounds of talks and the increasing trade between both countries reflect that from competitive economies they are heading towards being the complementary ones despite various hurdles.

I will make adjustments in the future. I just needed these emails to stop for now. I hope this works.


My work is autobiographical. I have an interest in life experience and how it shapes perspective. In the context of a feminine lens, life intersects with my art. My social practice pieces, objects, and installations encompass memory, identity, and narrative. The concepts and processes I use transform everyday ideas and thoughts into discourse-producing artworks.
In my work, context is everything. Relationships are explored, changed, and reformed. In this Post-Feminist world, many themes of women's roles in society abound. My multi-media pieces and performances illustrate past, present, and future feminine experiences.
More recently, I have begun to explore community based artwork. Teaching classes and creating murals and coloring pages for people of all ages has added so much to my process. Watching the interaction and interpretation of my work by many, many people illustrates the infinite possibilities in art-making.


i love how much more a small touch of a neon liner can add to the look, i would definitely try it with pink!
7, 8 oh, gold! my favourite metallic these days, have seen a lot of these golden toned barettes (hair clips, as normal people call them, i just think in french it sounds so much more chic), already on my list!

Obamacare Enrollment In New York: Over 100,000 So Far
Filed Under:ACA, Affordable Care Act, Enrollment, Enrollment Numbers, health care law, Health Insurance, New York, New York State, Obamacare

NY State of Health, New York's health care exchange, had a few technical problems when it launched October 1, which officials blamed on higher than expected traffic. But as of the first week of December, 314,000 residents had completed applications and more than 100,000 are fully enrolled.
This level of enrollment is the second highest in the country, topped only by California enrollments. Additionally, New York chose to expand eligibility for Medicaid coverage as allowed under the Affordable Care Act. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reports that as of the end of November, nearly 53,000 New Yorkers have been assessed as eligible for this option.
In a December 9 press release, the executive director of NY State of Health Donna Frescatore said, "We are very pleased to see these results, which show that tens of thousands of individuals and across the state are turning to nystateofhealth.ny.gov to access low-cost health insurance."
The state worked aggressively setting up the NY State of Health insurance exchange, vetting prospective insurance providers, and promoting the exchange. In 2013, 57 health centers with 591 sites across New York launched outreach programs and enrollment assistance to help the nearly two and a quarter million uninsured New Yorkers navigate the new health care exchange.
HHS national enrollment numbers for October and November show that nearly 365,000 Americans have completed the enrollment process. An additional 1.9 million have completed applications, but have not yet selected a plan. More than 800,000 have been determined eligible for Medicaid coverage.
Nationwide, politics is playing a role in how the enrollment numbers fall. Numbers of new enrollees are disproportionally larger in states such as New York that have embraced the new health reform law, set up exchanges and actively promoted their health exchange websites.
States with Republican governors and legislatures, most of whom oppose "Obamacare," have left administration of their health exchanges to the federal government, and many have not been actively encouraging citizens to enroll. In September, Florida, headed by Republican Governor Rick Scott, went as far as banning navigators, individuals trained to assist people with enrollment, from county health departments. More than two dozen states, all with Republican governors or Republican-controlled legislatures, have opted out of the Medicare expansion, leaving and estimated five million adults across the country ineligible for the free health insurance but not qualified for federal health insurance subsidies.
Residents must enroll by December 23 for insurance to be effective at the beginning of 2014. Open enrollment continues through March 2014.

Continuing complaints from local residents this month prompted Richmond, B.C. City Council to ban such rentals, that after having vowed to regulate the practice only a week earlier.
The action comes as major cities, including Vancouver and Toronto, are looking into ways to deal with the affects short-term sublets are having on rental housing markets.
Disgruntled residents in Richmond argued that regulation of individual properties would not be enough to quell complaints. "This type of use is undesirable in any neighbourhood," one resident pointed out.
The most common complaints raised by the many residents who came forward to plead with City Council include an increase in rowdy, unsupervised parties that disturb quiet enjoyment, as well as an increase in trash and parking congestion.
Additionally, most speakers emphasized the fear of rising rents as homes become unavailable to long-term residents. One resident expressed concern that short-term rental units could be exploited for birth tourism.
In response, Richmond lawmakers acknowledged that more staff would be needed to resolve complaints. As a result, the council redirected its efforts from regulation to a prohibition on short-term rentals within the city.
Toronto and Vancouver have yet to announce regulatory schemes to deal with short-term rentals, which many believe only exacerbate the lack of affordability. Complaints in those cities are similar, and local news agencies have profiled a few catastrophic cases where police were called, tenants arrested, or the properties were seriously damaged by unsupervised short-term vacation renters.
Landlords stand to lose when it comes to short-term rentals, especially if tenants are advertising on sites like Airbnb without the landlord's knowledge. New York City recently passed legislation that forces landlords to crack down on tenants who rent out their entire apartment short-term. Other strategies include requiring the host to register the property, and paying a hotel tax.
As the situation in Richmond proves, neighbouring property owners and other tenants are not content to have strangers living next door or causing disruption. Landlords who choose to allow the practice may want to keep that in mind and look at ways of mitigating these risks, like a requirement that tenants be on hand to supervise guests.
Landlords who wish to prohibit short-term vacation rentals should consider having their tenancy agreements updated. While existing provisions, such as a restriction on non-residential use, may be sufficient to evict a tenant who is subletting short-term, that provision may do little to deter tenants from trying it out. Continued use of the property as a short-term rental is likely to lead to property damage, and income loss.
