Manila, July 5, 2003 By Des Ferriols (Star) Higher June inflation of 3.4% surprises experts.
Consumer prices rose unexpectedly to 3.4 percent in June, from 2.7 percent in May, as prices of vital consumer items like food, beverages, clothing and fuel went up considerably, the National Statistics Office (NSO) reported yesterday.
Economists were caught by surprise. They had forecast that the inflation rate in June would range from 2.6 percent to three percent, taking into account the weakness of the local currency, damage from storms and seasonal pressure.
The government statistics office said the latest figure brought the average inflation rate for the first half of the year to 2.9 percent.
Floods and damage caused by typhoons which hit the country in late May and July, raised the prices of vegetables, fruits and fish, the NSO said.
It also reported that clothing was costlier as parents got ready for the new school year in June. Fuel, light and water were more expensive after the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco), the biggest power distributor, raised rates.
"Higher prices of clothing, selected construction materials, medicines and selected school supplies along with tuition fee hikes posted in many regions also contributed to the upward trend," the NSO said.
The June inflation rate was a surprise to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the National Economic and Higher June.
Development Authority (NEDA) which both predicted that the rate would be somewhere between 2.6 percent and three percent despite the typhoons.
"It's quite a surprise but there is a logical explanation," BSP Governor Rafael Buenaventura said. "What was not factored in was the impact of the three typhoons that caused some disruption in the flow of supply to the urban centers," he added.
However, Buenaventura said the BSP considered the June inflation as a "one-time blip" that would have no bearing on the full year projection. "We're still looking at an inflation rate below three percent for the rest of the year," he said.
"This blip at this time won't affect our full-year expectations but if we continue to see many blips, then that's another thing," Buenaventura said.
Buenaventura added that the power rate hike also had a domino effect on domestic prices, a factor that would have been mitigated by the seasonal movements in the prices of other commodities had it not been for the disruption in supply caused by the typhoons.
Socio-Economic Planning Secretary Romulo Neri said that despite the rise in prices in June, "the government remains on track in meeting its 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent (average inflation rate) forecast for the year."
By area, consumer prices for the highly urbanized Metro Manila hit 4.5 percent in June from only 2.5 percent in May while the rate for the largely-rural areas outside the capital stood at three percent.
Some analysts said more intense economic activity in the second half – as manufacturing perks up to meet higher demand from recovering overseas markets – may fuel price pressures.
"It (inflation) is going to go up to four percent by year end, the reason being oil prices are slowly picking up," Jose Vistan, an economist from AB Capital Securities said. "Another reason is the improvement in business confidence."
The government has set an inflation rate target of 4.5 percent to 5.5 percent this year after the 3.1 percent rise in prices in 2002.
But the NEDA has said the rate may come in at a narrower three percent to 3.5 percent.


I wonder if anyone can suggest a php widget plugin that I can use on a travel affiliate site I'm working on. I would have used Samsarin PHP Widget but it's not been updated for about two years now and I'm not sure it would work with the current Wordpress and Wpmu themes.
I hope you are well today, maybe this http://wordpress.org/plugins/php-text-widget/ will achieve what you need it to?
Thanks, I will try it and hopefully should meet my requirement.
Hey @Smallbiz & jack thanks for the info! Cool plugin, I was looking for something like that.


The background for this page was a gelli plate image printed on an old dictionary page. To that, I added collaged images, black acrylic paint sponged through a stencil, washi tape, and pastels.
The word "LIVE" was cut form a magazine and blended into the page with purple, white, and black pastels.


Vegans and hummus go hand in hand. More frequently than not, it's our saviour. Well.. mine anyway. It's like a safe food. Non-vegans generally adore it and so will offer it as a snack at parties. Many restaurants will carry it, especially the Mediterranean ones and for sure.. a falalfa place is always nearby. In New york at least!
Hummu s goes well with breads, crackers, crisps as well as carrots, celery, peppers and other raw vegetables. I'm starting to see snack pack sizes of hummus in the grocery stores- that's a positive move for kids and people on the go.
On the flip side, it's actually really easy to make it yourself. I have blogged hummus many times; I even thought I specifically blogged "sprouted chick pea hummus" but I guess I didn't. I'm gearing up to go raw vegan (join me) for a little while, since the weather is finally breaking into consectutive days of sunshine and warmth here in New York.
I soak the chick peas overnight and then d rain and rinse them.
Let them sit until you see the sprouts coming out. Usually within one or two days (even three). It's good to rinse them and move them around to shake the water off.
Now I have a live food full of enzymes.
I put in my tahini and extra virgin olive oil; at least two big tablespoons of both. Taste test as you go!
Hot sauce; the title should really be Sprouted Chick Pea – Red Pepper Hummus; the Spicy Version!
I'm beginning to think I'm obsessed with lasagna but in reality it's something I only eat around the holidays. I did however make a few perfect lasagnas back to back and they truly need to be documented- first for my friends and second so I don't forget! If one were to go through my blog, they would find so many lasagnas. One day it's about raw lasagna, the next without pasta and then just trial & error. Today's blog is just simply… "perfect vegan lasagna". I nailed it! Yes, I can take joy in that – if you only knew the number of experiments. I'm a virgo perfectionist and a diehard Italian pastaholic – don't forget that.
First things first, they may revoke my Italian status here, but I used "oven ready" whole wheat lasagna noodles. I have never done this before. This time my focus was in the filling and hoping it wouldn't melt away into vegan watery vegetable land nor burn in it's attempt to make a sweet potato perfectly soft. Did I say sweet potato? Yes I did. Hey my Grandmother, may she rest in peace, was the best pasta/ best sauce maker and best baker that I know of. Sorry Mom and sorry to my brother Rob – they both fight for title every holiday and I'm not even allowed in because mine is "special". Anyway, my Grama.. she always tossed a pinch of sugar in there. Luckily, GMOs weren't around back then! The sweet potato is my way of adding in some sweetness, healthy fiber and a vegetable that won't disintegrate like a zucchini I once knew.
My Grama! This blog is for you- I bet anything you would have made me special vegan Italian food if I asked! RIP.. years ago due to diabetes related causes. And yes.. that's me!
I wanted to add my meat too. I know.. one day I hate the word and the next it's mine to empower. Whatever.. I wanted my vegan meat layer and I used soy crumbles and mushrooms to get it. My sauce of course is always on point; thanks Grama! Next up.. Daiya cheese. Again.. to cheese or not to cheese and then to call it cheese or not to call it cheese. I'm in a simplistic mood right now so vegan cheese it is and the best melted vegan cheese out there hands down and slammed shut. Mozzarella shredded style to be exact. Be careful not to use too much like me or you will be swimming in lasagna fondue. Spinach – talk about disintegrating. I don't use frozen; I use fresh and a lot of it due to shrinkage. A lot- get a few bags or bunches. I outed myself again by saying bags. This is a shortcut perfect lasagna. Ready to bake lasagna, bags of spinach and sweet potato puree to avoid having to bake the sweet potatoes first. For the record, I don't boil any vegetables unless making a broth or soup. This lasagna is really for a party- not so much something I would eat every week- at all!
Italian canned tomatoes, usually crushed but maybe one or two as puree. I like Tuttorossa and Sclafani. I use at least (4) 28oz cans. Always go more! (5) cans is good! I usually make 2 big trays.
Tomato paste – the small cans. I use 1 or 2.
Spices – salt, pepper, oregano, hot chili flakes if you can handle it etc.
I start with an olive oil, onion and garlic sauté; then I add one can of paste and simmer. After a few minutes I add the sauce cans and water. Give it time. Add spices in too as you are taste testing.
I used Boca soy crumbles. There are a few different brands so feel free to experiment. Boca makes PETA's favorite vegan substitutes list.
I used portabella mushrooms. Again.. experiment! Mushrooms are king in the health world.
I am a spice girl! Well, not the London kind although I love them. I like my spices so I use them intensely here – bay leaf, basil, oregano, chili flakes, pepper, salt etc.
I also began this sauté with olive oil, onions and garlic.
First I put a little oil in the baking dish and a little sauce to prevent sticking. Then I placed in the bottom layer of pasta. I think I used about 1 1/2 boxes per tray. Again, buy more so you don't have to run out later!
Then I layered on the vegan meat.
I added dollops of sweet potato puree. I'd say 1/2 to 3/4 can of organic sweet potato puree. I have made it with thin slices of baked sweet potato but the puree melts in more perfectly. Trust me.
A heavy full layer of spinach. Press down gently.
The top layer of pasta with sauce on top to cover it nicely and some Daiya cheese. Make sure you get sauce in all the corners too so it doesn't dry out.
Approximately 45 minutes baking time at 350 degrees. Be careful not to use too much salt with the vegan meat and sauce because the Boca and Daiya have salt too.
Bake, set, cut, eat! Approximately 45 minutes baking time at 350 degrees. Be careful not to use too much salt with the vegan meat and sauce because the Boca and Daiya have salt too.
I love making lasagna and have mastered it quite often and in all different ways- regular meat lasagna (yes before I went vegan), vegetarian lasagna, vegan lasagna, pasta-less lasagna and even raw lasagna! So I decided to have a mini vegan get together and I do not know what happened! I guess I got confused with all my lasagnas. I must have had my meat/ whole wheat lasagna hat on when I made my vegan pasta-less lasagna. Hence I cooked it too high and too long. I guess at this point you could call it lasagna soup. It was delicious none-the-less but not of too much substance nor of health for that matter.
So- I did what any determined blogger would do. I made it again and invited more people over. This time.. lol.. I wore my pasta-less/ vegetable lasagna hat.. and didn't cook it long enough. It was like reverse fear! Oh my God! Take me out of the world of pasta for three years and look what happens! This was easily rectified though. I cooked it longer and there is goes.. a beautiful (vegan) whole wheat vegetable lasagna with daiya cheese (vegan) and all! I of course, made a pasta-less vegan one on the side for me which finally came out good! The key was– longer times with the whole wheat pasta and shorter times for just vegetables. Also zucchini and squash create possibly too much liquid unless you cook them slightly before hand. When using other vegetables like eggplant or sweet potato – be sure to cut them thinly. Spinach and mushrooms also work great.
First things first- you have to make a slamming sauce. This I have mastered from my Grama for sure.. and then my Mom and believe it or not.. my brother too is a great cook! I have ventured away from the meat infused recipes so it's all about the olive oil, garlic, onions, spices, tomato sauces and letting it cook for a while!
Next up is the pasta cooking. I know they make those ones that just bake in- but where do I find them in whole wheat? Since I do not know, I went ahead with boiling the whole wheat lasagna noodles. While that was cooking, I sliced my vegetables thin. The first time I used eggplant, zucchini and squash- the second: eggplant, spinach and sweet potato. I have a mandolin but I don't like using it as I almost lost skin a few times. I admit- I must learn how to slice thiner!
Where can you buy daiya cheese and vegan ricotta? Well, daiya is becoming more popular every day – it may even be in your local supermarket. I used the shredded mozzarella version. Vegan ricotta– lol- I wasn't even sure it existed but it did! I found this at Whole Foods. I will admit though that it almost tasted like a vegan ice cream of some sort. In any case, melted daiya is heavenly and can carry the whole lasagna!
Layering is always fun. Just dive in with the pasta, the vegetables, the sauce and the vegan cheeses! Have fun and watch the lasagna for timing. It should obviously be not too soupy and not too tough!
The final lasagna picture is up top. This one here is the pasta-less vegetable one that could have been layered a little better but was still remarkably delicious!
Enjoy! For the record, here is the raw lasagna recipe from an earlier blog.
I love the memories of consistent home cooked meals with friends and family around. Growing up, this was more of a weekly event but later with my friends, I recall more of a monthly get together. What is especially on my mind is the times of hanging out with my Brazilian friends. One friend specifically, Janaina, did the cooking. Today she is a chef and it's of no surprise to me. Her food was always amazing! I must have asked for the Bobó de Camarão so many times that I had no choice but to learn how to make it. I guess you will have to ask her for the non-vegan secrets but for now, I will share the recipe as I veganized it! This was a dish that I made in December for a work holiday party.
Bobó de Camarão is a delicious Brazilian dish made with shrimp and a beautiful puree involving coconut milk. This dish is inspired from the region of Bahia, Brazil. There are probably a few different ways to make it and I'm confident that this way is up there among the best.
This is the recipe how I made it using an extra large pot!
Shrimp– I used fake shrimp that actually resemble the real ones quite well except for the texture which may take a little getting used too. It's vegan though!
Sazon con Azafran– 1-2 packets. I hear they have MSG free ones!
Begin with a sauté using the oil, garlic, onions and scallions.
Next I use the canned tomato sauce.
Later if I want it even thicker I may add a small can of paste. What's interesting is watching the color and flavors of this puree as it changes and builds momentum.
Once this has absorbed and cooked, I add in the coconut milk. I use between 1 and 2 cans depending on the flavor and how much I am making.
The yucca I cooked first in a separate pot. I blend it in a good food processor- this is where I had a problem. The yucca burnt out my Montel Health Master and yes I am mad about it. I had to resort to my regular and smaller food processors. This was not easy. Perhaps I needed more liquid or perhaps I just needed a new high end processor like the Vitamix that I got for Christmas. In any case, I added this yucca to the mix but was not able to achieve the floating masterpiece that she so eloquently and deliciously makes.
To recap the secrets: Work in steps, build the flavor, track down the Brazilian oil.. and then learn how to float the yucca on top like a dumpling! Have fun with it!
Thank you Janaina for inspiring me how to cook and thanks for the final tip- I needed to add more of the actual puree to my yucca mixture in the blender. I guess it's not Montel's fault after all. Just kidding, I always take responsibility for my cooking errors no matter how many!
This dish was such a hit with my family and friends that I promise right now- I WILL MAKE IT AGAIN for the holiday staff party lol.
I happen to use yams for this recipe. I believe sweet potatoes will be even sweeter if you like that.
Mirin – 2 tablespoons. If you haven't heard of this… it's time to go buy some!
I may have altered this recipe slightly due to my impatience to read all the way through. I cut the yams/ sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes. I cut the pear into similar shaped pieces. Tossed everything into a party size baking tray. I poured the oil, mirin, maple syrup and cinnamon right on top. I didn't really mix anything as I knew it would all melt around. I baked this for 30 minutes at 350. Then I mixed it gently to move the juice or sauce around. I added the pecans and raisins and baked another 30 minutes.
VEGANOMICON is an amazing vegan cookbook that I was delighted to receive as a birthday gift not too long ago! My friend said.. "page 164.. MOUSSAKA". First of all, I was impressed that a non-vegan friend of mine even opened the book! Then to say moussaka, ok.. you have my attention. I remember the last time I made moussaka and pastitsio and it was pretty intense. It's basically the Greek version of an Italian's lasagna. I have spoken of lasagna plenty of times- yes I consider myself a pro.. in a non-chef/ non-cook type of way. The Greek dishes were the same for me- planning, prep and execution! I love these types of dishes- perfect for parties and events. Now I had to veganize.
I remember the last time making these but by no means the exact ingredients and they were far from vegan. I read through this recipe a few times and I was ready to tackle it.
I am so happy that I started Veganomicon with this one and so proud that it came out delicious! This is really a wonderful dish to try and it was even more amazing that it was animal-free.
This is the order I went in: vegetables, tomato sauce and then the pine nut cream.
First thing was to cut, lightly oil and bake slices of potatoes, eggplant and zucchini. While these were cooking I started the tomato sauce and then prepared the pine nut cream sauce.
The tomato sauce was basic.
The pine nut cream flavor that I was trying to resemble was that of bechamel cream sauce. Interestingly enough, as I sit here and write, I find that the bechamel sauce is sometimes made with milk and flour. I knew it needed something creamier and now it makes sense. I wanted to add a nut milk but it was already on the thin side. I knew to add a little brown rice flour that I had on hand to compensate for the arrowroot powder that I was missing. In retrospect, I could have added some nut milk and more flour then to thicken it. Live and learn. The nut cream was prepared in a food processor- no pre-cooking.
After the vegetables were cooked for about 20 minutes, I began the layering.
I greased a baking dish with olive oil and then layered in the eggplant, potatoes, then tomato sauce, zucchini, pine nut cheese and then topped it all with some extra whole pine nuts.

Jan Steen, A Cock Fight, c1673, © The Bute Collection at Mount Stuart
This dual-venue show showcases art and artefacts from one of the foremost private collections in the world.
Simultaneously running at the Hunterian Art Gallery in Glasgow and Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute, the exhibition was conceived to celebrate the latter's tercentenary in 2017.
Mount Stuart – built in 1879 – was the unique neo-Gothic vision of the 3rd Marquess of Bute and his architect Robert Rowand Anderson. It was the first house in Scotland to boast electric lighting, central heating, telephones or a passenger lift, not to mention the world's first heated indoor pool.
The property is also home to the Bute Collection, which was largely formed by the 3rd earl of Bute, John Stuart, during the 1770s. Stuart was the first ever Scottish-born prime minister and a favourite of George III, best known for his scandalous political life, but also an important and influential patron of the arts.
His collection includes works by Dutch Golden Age masters Jan Steen and Jacob van Ruisdael, important portraits by Anthony van Dyck, Joshua Reynolds and Allan Ramsay and history subjects by Claude Lorrain and Veronese.
Highlights are shown across each of the two venues, while at Mount Stuart the paintings are joined by historical artefacts, including items of costume, jewellery, letters, botanical illustrations and satirical engravings.

#TheEVAccord: New Momentum Driving Clean Transportation Forward
The future of transportation is electric, and we are excited to be part of a nationwide movement to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles which generate low or no tailpipe emissions.
SDG&E has joined scores of environmental organizations, consumer advocates, labor groups, energy companies and automakers nationwide to be a signatory of #TheEVAccord, which was unveiled today at the EV Roadmap conference in Portland, Oregon.
The accord provides a roadmap for how transportation electrification can be advanced in a way that benefits everyone, while supporting the evolution of a cleaner grid and spurring innovation. Signatories of the Accord have pledged support for a set of principles outlined in the document, including a commitment to achieve an equitable transition to clean transportation.
The accord was developed by Advanced Energy Economy, Energy Foundation, Illinois Citizen Utility Board, Natural Resources Defense Council, Plug-in America and Sierra Club in collaboration with diverse stakeholder and business interests.
The Status of Transportation Electrification in San Diego
Currently, more than 29,000 electric vehicles are on the road in SDG&E's service territory, which encompasses San Diego County and southern Orange County.
To solve the problem of range anxiety, we are working aggressively to plan and build thousands of chargers to support the electrification of all classes of equipment and vehicles, ranging from passenger cars and school buses to trucks and forklifts. Places where we are currently installing chargers as part of our Power Your Drive program include apartments, condo complexes, and workplaces.

January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month. While glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness, many people don't realize they have the disease until it is too late because glaucoma doesn't show symptoms. Spreading awareness about the importance of regular vision will help more people receive treatment while the disease is still in its early stages.

With the New Year fast approaching, it's a great time to think about some positive changes you can make in your lifestyle to keep healthy as you age. Many seniors believe that aging means you won't feel as good as you used to, but adopting healthier habits will help you transition to new stages of life while remaining happy and healthy.

After a loved one moves to a senior living community, you may feel stumped about what to get them for the holidays. With many seniors having to downsize when they move to assisted living, you don't want to buy them unneeded items that will add clutter to their apartment. But you still want to buy them something meaningful that will bring joy to their life.

The holidays bring family members together who might only see each other once or twice a year. It's an occasion to catch up on the year's events and share stories of triumphs, setbacks, joys, and struggles. Holiday conversation is often focused on the recent past—the months since everyone last saw each other. But some family members have a much longer past to share, a past that often gets overshadowed by more recent events.

The Shooting For The Major Part Of 'Stranger Things 4' Will Be Done in New Mexico
Filming is underway for the fourth outing, and soon, the development will move to New Mexico.
The acclaimed Netflix hit would film "a significant portion" of the seasons in the Land of Enchantment in a new report from Deadline. The production will be based on ABQ Studios from Albuquerque, a physical studio that Netflix purchased in 2018. The growing scale of the show is a catalyst in the changing location of production, says Netflix production VP Momita Sen Gupta. The first three seasons of the series were recorded entirely in the studios in Atlanta.
"Season 4 is larger, more audacious and more dynamic than ever," said Sen Gupta at the recent interview in New Mexico. "That's the first time the show goes outside Atlanta."
It is reported that Netflix spent around $30 million two years ago to buy studios in New Mexico. A diverse report from the time says New Mexico contributed $10 million to the acquisition, supplying the streamer with additional jobs. An extra $4.5 million was spent in the city of Albuquerque itself.
David Harbor
As the super fast teaser released earlier this year reveals, David Harbor's character Jim Hopper is back in the season three final after apparently being vaporized. Before that teaser, Harbour was very vague when asked about the future of his character.
"I think Hopper — from the start I said this— he's very lovable in a way, but he's a kind of rough guy too," said Harbour last year at the convention at Dortmund's German Comic. A per him the had to die in a way. He had to make a compromise to compensate for the bitterness that he had for the past ten years. He had to die, then.
He said that, It would now be essential for him whether or not this second act happens, whether or not there is some sort of regeneration, whether or not they can see him go away in a certain way. He would love it. As per him Gandalf, the White battles the Balrog descends into the dark and fights him forever. And then it reappears with some new strength and power as Gandalf the White. To him, this would be a fascinating arc.

Virginia Tech Men's Basketball
Hokies Notch First ACC Win Over Pittsburgh, 81-67
Virginia Tech struggled to shoot the ball again, but Blackshear was dominant in the win.
By Jawhar Ali@soundslikejafar Jan 6, 2018, 2:26pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Hokies Notch First ACC Win Over Pittsburgh, 81-67
Michael Shroyer-USA TODAY Sports
Virginia Tech was off to a woeful start to conference play, dropping their first two games in an ugly fashion. They were able to get past those two performances today with a 81-67 win over Pittsburgh. The Panthers had undergone major roster turnover this offseason, and started 5 freshmen in the lineup. And for the majority of the game, those freshmen kept the struggling Hokies on their heels, staying within striking distance for much of the afternoon.
Forward Kerry Blackshear carried the Hokies' offense against Pittsburgh, ending the game with a career-high 31 points on 12-of-16 shooting. The Panthers had no match for him once he posted up on the low block or in the pick-and-roll. Blackshear did not get into foul trouble either, which is good news for Hokie fans.
The Hokies' shooting troubles have been extensively documented over the last few games, and there was no improvement in that area today. Virginia Tech only made 4-of-23 of their threes, and have only shot 24.5 percent from behind the arc over the last four games. For a team that has very good shooters, this slump needs to end soon.
It was not all bad on offense for Virginia Tech, however. They outscored Pittsburgh in the paint 50-18, had 16 fast break points, and registered 22 points off turnovers. The Hokies only turned it over 6 times, their lowest figure since playing Maryland Eastern-Shore. Justin Robinson was a big reason why, as he dropped 10 dimes compared to only 2 giveaways.
Pittsburgh shot the ball well from the outside, as perimeter defense continues to be a huge concern for this team. Conference opponents have shot 44 percent from three against the Hokies. Given the three point efficiency difference between Virginia Tech and their opponents, it will be tough to win ball games.
Pittsburgh was not a flashy opponent, but it was one the Hokies needed to beat. It was not pretty, but hopefully this sparks a little bit of confidence that the team can build off of.
The Hokies travel to Wake Forest on Wednesday, looking to even up their conference record at 2-2.

Chicken Soup for the Geek Soul: Two Brothers
By Brian Briggs
The two brothers lived in the same neighborhood, but they were separated by light years, a divide that kept them apart for years.
It saddened their mother to see them so distant with each other. She didn't understand the source of their conflict, but she knew it was serious, very serious.
One of the brothers, Gene, was a child of the late 60s. Flower power, Vietnam, Star Trek. It was the latter that caused the rift between them.
You see, the other brother, Luke, was a child of the 70s. Bell bottoms, disco, Star Wars. He couldn't understand Gene's fascination with Trek, and Gene couldn't understand Luke's fascination with Star Wars.
"It's a glorified space opera," said Gene of Star Wars.
"It's a hippie sci-fi," said Luke of Star Trek.
As teens, the two would argue for hours over which was better. One drunken night the two came to blows after an argument over whether the Enterprise could defeat a Star Destroyer in a one-on-one battle. After that the two stopped speaking to each other, and haven't for fifteen years.
Today, the two sit silent in the hospital waiting room. Gene's two sons, James and Jean-Luc, sit by his side as he pages through The Star Trek Encyclopedia. Luke sits with his wife Leia watching an episode of Clone Wars: The Animated Series on his iPod.
Their mother lies in bed in the ICU after suffering a heart attack earlier in the morning. The boys haven't exchanged a word.
A nurse comes into the waiting room. "Kirk-Walker family?" The boys rise from their seats.

"Your mother is resting, but two of you can visit the room."
"I'll watch the boys Gene. You and Luke go see your mother," says Leia.
The two grumble, but walk together down the hall to their mother's room. They each take a hand of the woman. They both know this is an important moment in their lives.
Finally, Gene breaks the silence, "May the Force be with you, mother."
"Live long and prosper," says Luke.
The years of ice melt away and tears flow down their cheeks as they join hands, as brothers, across the bed.

Virtualization, thin clients to mobilise healthcare at rural hospital in Victoria
South West Alliance of Rural Health will rollout Cisco virtualization infrastructure across its 13 organisations starting with the largest, Barwon Health
Chloe Herrick (Computerworld) 13 October, 2011 15:58
The South West Alliance of Rural Heath (SWARH) has done a deal with Cisco for the provision of its Virtualization Experience Infrastructure to improve the workflow and collaboration throughout its 13 organisations.
The SWARH, which encompasses a mix of public health agencies, non-government organisations and medical clinics, covers an area of 60,000 square kilometres across Victoria with 180 sites.
SWARH CIO, Garry Druitt, said the alliance, which has 4000 phones (to be increased to 8000 in coming months) and 4000-5000 desktops, had been an early adopter of the platform because it needed the solution.
"This is the solution we've been waiting for… the virtualization of the desktop solves a financial issue we have which is caused by a set of fat clients," Druitt said. "We've been waiting for a long time, because our fat clients have sort of scaled up to be rich media of video and telephony."
"We run Cisco's unified communications telephony across the region and also video with a fat client integration," he said.
Under the deal, the alliance will deploy Cisco's Virtualization Experience Client 2100 devices, released last November, which will attach to the back of the IP phones, and Cisco's unified computing system B-Series blade server with which SWARH will virtualize 70 per cent of its applications, as it acts as a converged data centre platform for network, computer and storage access.
"We haven't been able to move to a lower cost thin client solution until because the technology has not been available to give the same experience.
"With a vision of delivering ICT as a service to create more efficient and collaborative patient care environments, we expect the Cisco Virtual Experience Infrastructure to help us make a significant step forward in achieving this, whilst addressing the demand of an extremely mobile staff and the requirements relating to risk and regulatory compliance and business continuity for health and data information."
The key driver, Druitt said, was the lower cost of delivery for the platform while it maintains rich media at the end point.
"The other driver was complexity; we have virtualization in processing, the network, in storage from the user's point of view, but we didn't have virtualization of the end point and once we have that it can be packaged and delivered as an outsourced model with vendors who are specialists in the area eliminating a high risk or a developing risk profile."
According to Druitt, four specific agencies have critical services which always have to be on delivering direct patient services and needed the underpinning infrastructure to guarantee the service would be available.
"We've had difficulty with all the elements to guarantee that because each has their own complexity but this is a great opportunity for us to package risk and outsource it in an end-to-end solution.
"For us it's a highly resilient environment, ready to support clinical applications, no loss of service greater than five minutes and no loss of data for greater than five to 10 minutes."
For SWARH's largest member, and the first to rollout the Cisco platform, Barwon Health Hospital, this platform will help ease the issue of mixed infrastructure, said deputy chief executive, Paul Cohen, with the organisation battling with about 700 thin client devices and some 2300 fat devices.

How can I change my room into a more productive yet fun space?
Since the pandemic and quarantine began, people's rooms have blurred the work/life balance; what was intended as only a space to gather, socialize, play, and rest became a workspace overnight. Because of the contrast between the two activities, it's hard to draw a clear demarcation between the two headspaces. As a result, productivity and motivation were negatively impacted, inspiring me to seek a solution.
Redesign a room using Mixed Reality (MR)
By using MR technology, improve the moods of users by evolving the static experience of taking classes, working, resting, and socializing in a singular area into an immersive experience that utilizes space.
Informal Interview (2020)
& Survey (2021)
In October 2020, I initiated research to better understand how people feel about schooling or working from home by interviewing students and professionals.
In March 2021, I created a new survey to understand the changes in feelings about remote work as time passes. The same survey was conducted to also better understand the same situation in Korea, which has been working remotel for a longer period than in the United States. Both results showed an increase in satisfaction.
For those who worked from home before the pandemic, the change works well: allowing better concentration on work and time management due to a lack of interference from others.
On the other hand, those who liked to work in their studios and offices had their productivity and motivation decline significantly. Naturally, this also affected their mental health.
Almost half of the participants answered that they are open to continuing working remotely. 36% wanted to go back to the office or the studio, 12% don't know, 4% want to do both.
More than half of the participants were satisfied, happy, or very gratified with telework. Among them, the emotions elevated from satisfaction to happiness or very gratifying.
Psychology on Remote Working
Articles over the last two decades helped me understand the cultural mindset of remote working and how it has developed as our technology improved and integrated with our daily lives.
Pre-pandemic
"Results suggest a negative emotional impact of teleworking, particularly in terms of such emotions as loneliness, irritability, worry and guilt, and that teleworkers experience significantly more mental health symptoms of stress than office-workers..."
- Sandi Mann and Lynn Holdsworth, Oct 2003
During pandemic
"66% of people aged 25 and under suffer from one or more signs of mental illness including extremely high and low moods, social withdrawal, sadness, irritability, excessive fear, worry and anxiety, dramatic changes in eating and sleeping habits..."
- Question & Retain, Mar 2020
Post-pandemic
"Most Americans now teleworking from home want to keep doing so, with more than half saying they would work remotely after the pandemic..."
- Chicago Tribune, Dec 2020
What is MR and Why MR?
Mixed Reality blends the physical and digital worlds by incorporating elements of both the real and virtual spaces including environmental input, spatial sound, and location.
"Letting users spatially organize their tasks...can lead to a 40% improvement in productivity."
- Leap Motion, Nov 2015
Simulations and situational therapy
"VR can help people by creating safe simulated spaces for education and training."
Market Revenue of MR
"The market revenue of the Mixed Reality industry has steadily increased since 2018 with greater growth each year suggesting the use of MR in our daily lives is not too far away."
- Statistics by Segment, Jan 2021
Research Synthesis
Physical Aspect
People are equipped in their rooms.
Most people recently bought furniture or gadgets to better their working conditions. Equipped rooms allow us to continue remote working post-pandemic.
Static Experience
Constraints of a space change had a significant impact on people's physical and mental health.
Psychological Aspect
People's feelings on working from home have changed.
People hated working remotely at the beginning of the pandemic, but now, people are satisfied.
Loneliness is a health crisis.
Lack of communication leads to isolation, which causes serious mental health problems.
MR Technological Aspect
MR enhances productivity.
MR helps with multitasking and opens up a new type of work.
MR helps people feel better.
MR can be used to make simulated places for therapy or entertainment.
Problem Framing
Students and professionals working remotely
Design Principle &
Additional Questions
Creates a new multisensory experience for your room.
How can we interact with space?
How can we utilize our bodies and gestures?
Promotes a playful life with positive physical & mental health
How can the service assist users with physical and mental health, and allow them to form good habits aside from just enhancing productivity?
How can Dayz bring joy to people's lives?
Creates inclusive interfaces
What if users are missing a hand?
What if your user needs an accessible interface? How is that triggered if they can't easily touch or tap the glasses?
Concept Generation
Timeline Sketches
To build a storyboard, I choose three core values to represent a day: daily life, work, and communication from the research. While making the storyboard, I studied how to effectively and interestingly connect people to people as well as spaces and people in various situations that take place within the day from morning to evening. Some UI components are based on Google's Daydream components sticker sheet.
7 AM Morning Routine
9 AM Work & Communication
7 PM Rest & Socialization
After deciding how the story will flow through each scene in the process of storyboarding, I researched the overall visual look and feel of my service. To explore the visual system, I got inspired by science fiction movies and used the Morning Routine scene to test designs.
System Technology
As for the MR glasses, I imagined smart glasses by referencing existing pairs such as Google Glass, Microsoft's Hololens, and Facebook's Oculus. However, my smart glasses look closer to real glasses and can even be charged wirelessly through the case. I believe the eyeglasses we are using today, and even contact lenses will soon become MR devices.
Once users put on the smart glass, Dayz will not only help users access information conveniently, but also assists them in staying physically and mentally healthy.

9 am Working
While users are working, Dayz allows them to maintain productivity and communicate better, which improves their moods by increasing their feelings of self-fulfillment. Also, users can work in different places where they have not been before. As one of Self-Care Features, Dayz cares for users' break time.

7 pm Socializing & Resting
At the end of the day, users can engage in participatory experiences by sharing their day.
Reflection & Next Steps
Post-pandemic, I believe our daily routines will forever be changed rather than returning to what they were pre-pandemic. Though they may adapt from what they were mid-pandemic because of reduced or removed restrictions, our experiences have changed how we live our lives. What was new before has become normal. Our society has learned to adapt to this life with a growth in technology we can not revert. The boundaries between work and home are gradually disappearing, and the place where we work will become the office, whether it is on the street, on vacation, or at home. Conversely, we can bring different environments to our home and office whether they are to a friend's house far away, or to the Amazon. All you need to do is wear your glasses.
I hope Dayz helps people imagine their future in an advanced all-in-one home experience. As Mike Alger manifested that some people who web designers before will need to learn to be environment designers in his VR Interface Design Manifesto (2014), I also believe a lot of designers and engineers would shift their design careers to VR designers, and the area of the designer will be expanded the experiential design to create more comfortable and immersive experiences.
What started as being alone at home became how I was able to imagine what we can do together through future technology. In the process, I learned the possibilitie of MR. We no longer must solely consume content and design linearly within rectangular screens. They can be seen through three-dimensional, moving forms. And I am excited to see how much of our future will change.

Q: Filter Duplicate Like urls from elastic search Working on ES 6.4.2. How can I filter the below results.
Title: Some TITLE
Description:A Storm application is designed as a "topology" in the shape of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with spouts and bolts acting as the graph vertices. Edges on the graph are named streams and direct data from one node to another. Together, the topology acts as a data transformation pipeline. At a superficial level the general topology structure is similar to a MapReduce job, with the main difference being that data is processed in real time as opposed to in individual batches. Additionally, Storm topologies run indefinitely until killed, while a MapReduce job DAG must eventually end.

How can I get either one of the record. Title and content is same url and the only one is need to filter http and https. Any Solution.

A: There could be multiple solutions to this, the simplest i can think of is that you use a match phrase query to filter your results. The two query terms in your case would be

http: and https:

notice that I have deliberately used colon after the http so that the https phrase doesn't match.
here is your query
GET yourIndexName/_search
{
  "query": {
    "match_phrase": {
      "url": "http:"
    }
  }
}

GET yourIndexname/_search

Tesla Change Shakes Market To Its Core
By The Breadwinner January 14, 2021
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Email
No stock has more attention than Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Many fans of the company view it as the top innovator in the world. Naysayers claim its stratospheric rise will eventually become a huge bubble.
So far, the fans are winning. The stock had a massive increase in 2020 of almost 750%, taking its price higher than the $700 a share point.
But bulls are not convinced the good numbers are done. Analysts are hopeful about Tesla's long-term possibilities. The top price target now showing on Yahoo! Finance is $1,083 a share — more than 50% higher than where the stock ended 2020, and 25% higher than its current price tag.
I've been a skeptic of Tesla, but I'm going further than other analysts. I believe Tesla can reach $1,500 per share, pushing its market cap above the $1.4 trillion mark. That could even maybe happen before 2021 is over.
In order for investors to see those numbers, a few events need to happen first. These three things are listed below along with explanations of each.
1. A 1 million vehicle year
Investors love growth. For Tesla, the number of cars it sells is the ultimate signal. Very loyal customers have so far guaranteed there's high demand for Tesla vehicles right as the come off the assembly line. With the biggest problem being production capacity, which Tesla has tried to address by opening new manufacturing locations across the world to roll out vehicles closer to where they're bought.
'60 Minutes' Superstar Goes Public With Bombshell Investment
There's simply nothing bigger than this in the investment world...
Tesla shipped nearly 500,000 vehicles last year. That almost met CEO Elon Musk's anticipations for 2020. It also showed good growth of higher than 35%. But the pandemic affected both buying interest and production capacity. Most investors expect even greater gains this year.
Hitting the 1 million vehicles mark would be a huge win, hence the possible $1,500 stock price. Plus, Tesla's ability to build that amount of cars is almost there.
2. Tesla's expansion needs to be fast
Tesla understands that its cars are must-haves. The company needs to leverage its brand value by tapping into world markets as fast as possible.
The question is how should they do this. For example, India is a huge possible market, and Musk has mentioned plans to enter the market there. And just this week, shares of Indian auto maker Tata Motors (NYSE:TTM) increased on speculation that it may be a contract manufacturer for Tesla's vehicles for the country.
Taking advantage of a bigger market is inevitable for the company, but Tesla needs to be smart about how it continues. Giving up quality just to sell vehicles could be a disaster for the brand. But a slower expansion runs the risk of letting competitors move into promising markets ahead of Tesla.
3. Tesla investors must hold steady
Tesla shareholders seem to have learned a lesson from the crypto craze. Many investors in bitcoin have bought and held their tokens through all of the chaos of the past 10 years. A typo in a forum gave way to the meme of "HODL" which means to hold on for dear life.
Many shareholders have used this same strategy for Tesla. These investors think the company is not just a wealth producer, but also the best solution to sustainable energy.
I'm certain that this has played a role in Tesla's huge share-price increase to date. If those foundational shareholders continue holding onto shares regardless of what happens, then another 2x in 2021 is possible. If they choose to cash out, it will be impossible to claim that milestone.
It's a long struggle and anything is possible
It's fun to think about how high Tesla's shares could be in late 2021. But what matters most to long-term shareholders is whether Tesla can keep realizing its full potential from the underlying business of electric vehicles. Even if that doesn't mean a soaring price this year, it could still mean the price going to $1,500 at some time in the not-so-distant future.

Adjusted earnings (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the first quarter 2010 were ($24.2) million, or ($0.26) per diluted common share, compared with ($141.7) million, or ($1.47) per diluted common share for the fourth quarter 2009.
Net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the first quarter 2010 was ($25.4) million, or ($0.27) per diluted common share, compared with ($159.2) million, or ($1.65) per diluted common share for the fourth quarter 2009.
Company recorded $89.5 million of loan loss provisions during the quarter versus $216.4 million during the fourth quarter 2009.
NEW YORK, April 29, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --iStar Financial Inc. (NYSE: SFI), a publicly traded finance company focused on the commercial real estate industry, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
iStar reported adjusted earnings (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the first quarter of ($24.2) million or ($0.26) per diluted common share, compared with ($62.8) million or ($0.59) per diluted common share for the first quarter 2009. Adjusted earnings (loss) represents net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted primarily for preferred dividends, depreciation and amortization, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, and gain (loss) from discontinued operations.
Net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the first quarter was ($25.4) million, or ($0.27) per diluted common share, compared to ($93.9) million or ($0.89) per diluted common share for the first quarter 2009. Please see the financial tables that follow the text of this press release for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted earnings (loss) to GAAP net income (loss).
Revenues for the first quarter 2010 were $173.5 million versus $225.7 million for the first quarter 2009. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to a reduction of interest income resulting from an increase in non-performing loans (NPLs) and an overall smaller asset base.
Net investment income for the first quarter was $119.2 million compared to $237.9 million for the first quarter 2009. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to decreased gains on early extinguishment of debt in the quarter, as well as lower interest income as discussed above, offset by increased earnings from equity method investments and lower interest expense. Net investment income represents interest income, operating lease income, earnings (loss) from equity method investments and gain on early extinguishment of debt, less interest expense and operating costs for corporate tenant lease assets.
During the first quarter, the Company received $790.1 million in gross principal repayments. Additionally, the Company generated proceeds of $126.3 million from loan sales; $165.8 million of net proceeds from sales of other real estate owned (OREO) assets; and $17.2 million of net proceeds from the sale of two corporate tenant lease (CTL) assets. Of the gross principal repayments and asset sales, $221.8 million was utilized to pay the A-participation interest associated with the Fremont portfolio down to $251.5 million. Additionally during the quarter, the Company funded a total of $142.2 million under pre-existing commitments.
During the quarter, the Company announced that it is pursuing a sale or other transaction involving a portfolio of corporate tenant lease assets representing an aggregate $1.1 billion of book value. The portfolio is encumbered by secured, non-recourse term debt with an aggregate principal balance of $947.9 million that matures in April 2011. These assets are presented as assets held for sale as of March 31, 2010, and the related net income has been reclassified as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The Company's leverage, calculated as book debt net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, divided by the sum of book equity, accumulated depreciation and loan loss reserves, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, was 2.8x at March 31, 2010, down from 2.9x at the end of the prior quarter. The Company's net finance margin, calculated as the rate of return on assets less the cost of debt, was 2.23% for the quarter, versus 1.60% in the prior quarter.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had $640.9 million of unrestricted cash versus $224.6 million at the end of the prior quarter. The Company is currently in compliance with all of its bank and bond covenants.
During the quarter, the Company repurchased $222.6 million par value of its senior unsecured and secured notes, resulting in a net gain on early extinguishment of debt of $38.7 million.
At March 31, 2010, first mortgages, participations in first mortgages, senior loans and corporate tenant lease investments collectively comprised 82.3% of the Company's asset base, versus 84.0% in the prior quarter. The Company's loan portfolio consisted of 73.1% floating rate loans and 26.9% fixed rate loans, with a weighted average maturity of 2.0 years.
At the end of the quarter, the weighted average last dollar loan-to-value ratio for all structured finance assets was 85.1%. The Company's corporate tenant lease assets were 93.7% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.0 years. At March 31, 2010, the weighted average risk ratings of the Company's structured finance and corporate tenant lease assets were 3.93 and 2.57, versus 3.92 and 2.59, respectively, in the prior quarter.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had 12 loans on its watch list representing $673.9 million or 8.1% of total managed loans, compared to 14 loans representing $717.7 million or 7.7% of total managed loans in the prior quarter. Assets on the Company's watch list are all performing loans. Managed loan value represents iStar's carrying value of loans, gross of specific reserves and the A-participation interest outstanding on Fremont portfolio assets. The Company's total managed loan value at quarter end was $8.3 billion.
At the end of the first quarter, 72 of the Company's 212 total loans were on NPL status. These loans represent $3.5 billion or 42.3% of total managed loans, compared to 81 loans representing $4.2 billion or 45.3% of total managed loans in the prior quarter.
Additionally, during the quarter the Company took title to six properties that had an aggregate managed loan value of $397.9 million prior to foreclosure, resulting in $122.1 million of charge-offs against the Company's reserve for loan losses. During the quarter the Company recorded $4.9 million of additional impairments on its OREO portfolio.
At the end of the first quarter, the Company held 42 assets, representing a gross book value of $1.4 billion, which had previously served as collateral for certain of its loan assets. Of these assets, $829.9 million were classified as OREO and considered held for sale based on management's current intention to market and sell the assets in the near term. The remaining $542.7 million were classified as real estate held for investment (REHI) based on management's current strategy to hold, operate or develop these assets over a longer term.
During the first quarter, the Company recorded $89.5 million in loan loss provisions. At March 31, 2010, the Company had loan loss reserves of $1.3 billion or 15.8% of total managed loans. This compares to loan loss reserves of $1.4 billion or 15.3% of total managed loans at December 31, 2009.

A wood knife with single edge designed for practice. Made from ebony Makassar sp., it is heavier than most other hardwood. The blade section is 6" and is 1/2"+ thick near the handle with a blunt edge and point. An 8 sided handle is more flat on the sides and can accommodate almost all hand sizes. Handle is 6" long. This wooden knife is well balanced and stays on ones hand even without gripping the handle.
Select models have darker streaks of dark brown and black. The first photo shows a sample of the different variety. No two are alike. We ship what is available. Price is for a single piece.


This tab has been rated a 4.00 out of 5 for accuracy. (6 votes) Sorry, but you must be logged in to rate this tab.
trying to scare you though, it's still easy if you've got some experience.
Rhythm Guitar uses distortion and Lead Guitar uses bright sound.
if you find any mistakes or wonder about anything.
Phenomenon album! :) TFK ROCKS!!!
man youre tabbing this album quick!great job!
u dont have 2 rush with hand grenade ok!I probably wouldnt be able to play straight away so do it when youre ready!
I mean come on, it might not be entirely perfect, but it's not that bad. Why 0 in rating? Whoever you are, GIVE AN EXPLAINATION PLEASE!!! It's okay with me that you don't like my tab, but please tell me what I've done bad or try tabbing something better yourself. I want to improve all my tabs to make them have as little amount of mistakes as possible. I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH A 0 IF I GOT IT FOR A GOOD REASON. But seriously, I don't think it's THAT bad, is it?
I've spent a lot of time on this tab and on other tabs too, because I want to make good tabs who can help people play guitar better and let TFK fans learn how to play their favorite songs. It feels really discouraging to think that somebody considers my tab worthless. So PLEASE, tell me what mistakes I did, if I did any. If I didn't, just tell me what you don't like about the tab.
I wouldn't look to far into it. It was probably just some guy going through tabs and gave it a 0.00 for "fun". Some guy did that on a Bounce tab on here. When I run off the song, I'll rate it and give it the rating it deserves. So just don't worry about. Your an excellent tabber.
Yeah, I kinda thought it was just some jerk, because I know it's more worth than that. I just wanted to give a chance for an explaination, in case there actually was some etrange reason behind it all. Well, I'm not really discouraged, what I mean is it's just no fun at all having a 0 rating on one of my tabs, even if it's for no reason. If it's only someone doing it "for fun", then this means I'll always have a lower rating I then the tab deserves.
Okay, so I tryed it out and it was really good (espicially the inro). So it's obvious that it was some guy with too much time on his hands.
yeah i'll give u 5 cause it's good and so it will help repair the damage done by that other guy who thought 0 was nescessary.
actually, i made it up. I use it on every site that requires a nickname. No one else uses it, and it's fun trying to see people try to spell it!
Zero is cool, keep using it! (But not when you're rating lol) :) Thanks for raising my accuracy rating for me, some dude gave me a 0, so it's taken some votes to get it up to 4. I haven't voted any of my tabs myself, except for the old tab of Quicken which I gave a 3 and then made a corrected tab. So thanks for commenting my tabs zero!
this song definitely doesnt deserve a 0.00!
I so agree with zero91!
pay no attention to that 0.00 it was just someone jelous thathe cant tab this good!
you're really helping me to become a better guitarist!

So with spring in full effect here are three lighter, fresher, spring type selections to get you going.
I often find myself drawn back to the Proraso brand and here I am again with the Proraso Green aftershave splash. It is inexpensive, the menthol scent is invigorating and refreshing, and it feels great on your skin. Available from Fendrihan.
Clubmans Lilac is another aftershave that I would add to my list of Spring aftershaves. This scent seems to divide the masses either you love it or hate it, but I find it to have a refreshing feel to it and the scent is a nice departure from more traditional aftershaves. Available from Amazon.
What would you add to the list? Share your spring aftershave of choice below.

The project would install a soldier pile wall with concrete facing directly adjacent to Arastradero Road where high storm flows eroded the roadway embankment during the winter of 2016-2017. The wall would be located from 2-5 ft from the existing roadway shoulder and would be approx 100 ft long. The space between the road and soldier pile wall would be filled with clean, imported material. The pilings would be driven to a depth of approx 20 ft. Minor dewatering of the work area may be required. Clean gravel bags would be used to divert creek flows away from the work area. Construction staging would occur on the widened roadway shoulder approx 100 ft east of the work area.


Home Choice Register – changes ahead!
There are currently 18,500 households registered with Cornwall Homechoice and only a small number of vacancies each week.
Applicants who have assets valued at over £50,000, or those who have an income of £60,000 or more will not qualify to join Cornwall Homechoice.
Other than in exceptional circumstances, a household where anyone has demonstrated anti-social behaviour within the last 2 years will not be able to join the register.
To be allocated a council home or a home managed by one of our partner registered providers to which the Council has nomination rights, applicants must be able to demonstrate a 3 year local connection.
For homes owned and managed by the Council, preference will be given to an applicant whose household income is £30,000 or less.
Applicants can bid for one property per bidding cycle (usually a week).
Applicants who do not bid on any property for 12 months will be removed from the register.
Refusals – Applicants who turn down 2 suitable and reasonable properties that are offered to them are removed from the register and cannot reapply for a period of 12 months.
← Less population growth but not really worse off!

US Court Sentence R. Kelly To 30yrs In Prison For Sexual Assault
Singer R. Kelly sentenced to 30yrs imprisonment for racketeering, others.
Embattled American R&B star, Robert Sylvester, popularly known as R. Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for racketeering and other crimes.
The 55-year-old who has been in police detention since his arrest in 2019, was sentenced by a federal judge on Wednesday, June 29, in Brooklyn, New York.
Judge Ann Donnelly sentenced Mr. Kelly to 30 years imprisonment and an additional five years of supervised release and a $100,000 fine — during a hearing where seven of his victims spoke about suffering under his control.
He was found guilty in September of racketeering and $ex trafficking charges stemming from a decades-long practice of recruiting and grooming girls and young women for illegal $ex.
Donnelly condemned Kelly for the "serial r@pe and $exual abuse" he perpetrated on his victims.
"These crimes were calculated and carefully planned and regularly executed for almost 25 years. You taught them that love is enslavement and violence These victims were disposable to you, and you left in your wake a trail of broken lies," the judge said.

WHAT: The American Airlines Center is hosting "Paws in the Plaza" benefitting the SPCA of Texas on Tuesday, June 20th, from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This first time event is to help homeless pets find loving families, collect leash and collar donations for the SPCA of Texas' Community Pet Program, and raise funds for the SPCA of Texas.
The goal is to collect 35,000 leashes and collars for the SPCA of Texas' Community Pet Program which provides another layer of support to the people and their pets of Southern Dallas, helping keep pets in homes, off the streets and out of shelters. Chewy.com has kicked off this donation drive by generously contributing 400 leashes and collars.
Spend the afternoon with your furry friends enjoying pet-friendly activities, vendors, food trucks, $25 on-site pet adoptions, amazing raffles prizes and more! For each leash or collar donated, you will receive a complementary raffle ticket. Also, come by and meet Dustin Kross from The New Hot 93.3 who will be broadcasting live from the Victory Plaza studios.
The SPCA of Texas is celebrating 100 days of summer with $25 dog and cat adoptions through September 3rd. Dogs and cats six months and older and puppies and kittens under six months will be only $25 as compared to the regular adoption fees of $50 up to $250. The $25 adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, a heartworm test for dogs six months and older and an FIV/FeLV test for cats four months and older. Also included initial flea/tick preventative and heartworm preventative, a microchip, 30 days of free PetHealth Insurance provided by PetPlan, a free 14-day wellness exam with VCA Animal Hospitals, a free year-long subscription to Activ4Pets, a rabies tag and a free leash.

Perry Animal Care Center in McKinney are noon to 6 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday and noon to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
