  A router endpoint to allow resending of verification codes per [CTR-104](https://issues.gpii.net/browse/CTR-104).

  1. A GET handler that returns a form that can be used to request a reset.
  2. A POST handler that checks for the existing of a verification code for the given user and resends it if found.
    a. If the request headers indicate that JSON data is accepted, a JSON receipt is sent.

Congratulations to our the Domar Center/Boston IVF's Director of Nutrition, Hillary Wright, on the release of her new book, The Prediabetes Diet Plan!
A practical, empowering guide to managing and reversing prediabetes through diet and exercise, from a registered dietitian.
While diabetes cannot be cured, prediabetes can indeed be reversed, so it is critical to implement lifestyle changes at an early stage. In straightforward, jargon-free language,The Prediabetes Diet Plan explains prediabetes's underlying cause of insulin resistance and offers a comprehensive diet strategy based on Hillary Wright's two decades of experience counseling clients on diet and lifestyle change. With sections on meal planning, grocery shopping, dining out, and supplements, this book empowers readers to make healthier everyday choices that can effect real change on their insulin levels.
Increasingly diagnosed by doctors and affecting millions of Americans, prediabetes is a condition in which blood sugar levels are elevated. It often develops into full-blown diabetes, one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and it is a major risk factor for heart and blood vessel disease, kidney failure, and blindness.

Q: Server Side Paging with KendoUI's Listview control I am trying to do server side paging with KendoUI's ListView control. But the problem is that the pager control does not show the links for the pages. Here is my code:
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                serverPaging: true,
                pageSize: 2,

                schema: {
                    id: "Id",
                    data: "Results",
                    total: "total"
                    }
                },

                transport: {
                    read: function (options) {
                        oThis.GetDataFromServer(options);
                    }
                }
            });

$('#listcontent').kendoListView({
                template: kendo.template('

 \

#:data.Name#
 \

#:data.Description#	 \
                                         View Detail	 \

'),
                dataSource: dataSource,
                selectable: true
            });

            //render kendo listview pager
            $('#listpager').kendoPager({
                datasource: dataSource
            });

the total field contains correct number of records. This is working fine with Grid so not sure what is the issue with Listview.

A: I think you left out pageable: true
$('#listcontent').kendoListView({
            template: kendo.template('

 \

#:data.Name#
 \

#:data.Description#	 \
                                     View Detail	 \

'),
            dataSource: dataSource,
            selectable: true,
            pageable: true
        });

What Is a Statement of Work Template?
From a contractual perspective, the statement of work (SOW) is a critical project management document because it sets forth the contractual obligations. If you are a vendor or contract project manager, this document may be a part of the RFP you received from your client. Because it typically establishes your legal obligations for performance, it should be referenced throughout the project. Think of it as the holy grail of what must be accomplished. Changes to the statement of work should be reduced to writing and signed by both parties.
The statement of work describes the products or services to be delivered by the project. It captures and defines the work activities, the schedule requirements and the project deliverables.
The free statement of work template below captures introductory and background information regarding the project. Besides the scope of work, it also captures the period and place of performance, applicable standards for performance, requirements, specific vendor responsibilities, client responsibilities, project risks, assumptions and completion criteria. In addition, this template speaks to payment terms and the procedures for change control. Like all project management templates, it should be modified to fit the project needs.
Who Creates the Statement of Work?
For internal projects, the statement of work is created by the project initiator or sponsor. On occasion, the project manager creates it. For external projects, it's received from the client as part of their bid document. For example, it may accompany a request for quote or a request for proposal.
Inputs to the statement of work may include the business need, the business case, the project scope description and the strategic plan.
The statement of work is used to specify the products or services that must be delivered. It defines the boundaries of the project and typically becomes a part of the contract. In most instances, the statement of work is used to create contractual obligations. It becomes a binding contract.
If you need help with a project, please contact us. We're the professionals that businesses depend upon.

IPOB: Press Release: THE FALTERING AND LILLY-LIVERED ECOWAS COMMUNITY COURT OF JUSTICE LACKS JUDICIAL COURAGE
THE FALTERING AND LILLY-LIVERED ECOWAS COMMUNITY COURT OF JUSTICE LACKS JUDICIAL COURAGE
With utter disappointment and feelings of distraught, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have determined that the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice (ECCJ) lacks the courage to deliver justice dispassionately. According to information from its website, the ECCJ "has jurisdiction to determine cases of violation of human rights that occur in any Member State." Regarding applicable laws, the ECCJ noted on its website that it "applies Treaty, Conventions, Protocols, and Regulations adopted by ECOWAS as well as Article 38 of the Statute of International Court of Justice." The regional court further stated that "in the area of human rights protection, the ECCJ equally applies international instruments relating to human rights ratified by the State or States party to the case." Then why is the ECCJ afraid to give decisive judgment on the case of Nnamdi Kanu versus Federal Government of Nigeria? Why are the Judges postponing the ruling date in perpetuity, if they have nothing to hide?
Recall that on March 2nd, 2016, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu filed a lawsuit at the ECCJ against the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the issue of violations of his fundamental human rights and sought enforcement of same rights as well as compensations from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. At the October sitting of the ECCJ, the case was adjourned to November 8, 2016. When the case came up on November 8, the presiding Judge, Micha Wright, again adjourned it to February 9th, 2017 for Ruling. On the 17th of January 2017 and without waiting for the February 9th, 2017 date to come, the ECCJ again adjourned the date of the Ruling to March 7, 2017, with a caveat that even the March date is subject to further adjournments.
We ask the ECCJ the following questions; why will it take more than one year to hear and deliver judgment on a simple case of violation of fundamental human rights? Why the multiple adjournments at the stage of delivering judgment? How come the cases of Sambo Dasuki and Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky which bothered on the same fundamental human rights violation, were started and concluded within six months? Is it because Nnamdi Kanu is a Christian or is it because he is from Biafraland and not from the Northern part of Nigeria?
The ambivalence and the seemingly compromised attitude of the ECCJ is one of the factors propelling Biafrans to seek the restoration of the nation of Biafra. In Biafra, we will show the world that we do not settle for dismal and cowardly performance when it comes to the dispassionate and timely dispensation of justice. Unlike the shenanigans going on both at the ECCJ and in Nigerian courts, the Biafran judicial system will be comparable to what obtains in the Western world.
We assert that the behaviour of the ECCJ on this occasion is encouraging tyranny and abuse of human rights rather than holding the dictatorial and totalitarian government of Muhammadu Buhari to account. The ECCJ is a court of law and, therefore, required by convention and statute to interpret the law. Shying away from delivering a judgment in this case is not only repugnant but is an abdication of responsibility. Regional and national courts in other continents such as North America and Europe are known to be courageous, impartial, and impervious to ethnoreligious influences even when a case is between an individual/group and the State. In such landmark cases, judgments are pronounced without fear or favour. A typical example is the USA versus Schooner Amistad case of 1841 in which a landmark judgment was made in favour of the poor African slaves from Sierra Leone.
Recently, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia reminded Honourable Justice Jerome Traore and the entire ECCJ of their noble role in the "protection of the human rights of community citizens and promotion of justice" because according to her "injustice breeds, chaos, destruction, and even death." IPOB is appalled that despite these admonitions, the ECCJ has reneged on its roles and responsibilities. We assert that there is absolutely no reason for the ECCJ to dilly-dally in making a Ruling expeditiously in the case of violations of fundamental human rights instituted against Nigeria since March 2016.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to express their utter dismay and disappointment with the ECCJ. We believe that the ECCJ lacks the courage and impartial mindset needed to deliver justice promptly in the case instituted by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, hence the ECCJ resorted to adjournments after adjournments. To this extent, we conclude that the ECCJ has failed to live up to expectations and we do not expect justice from its court given numerous adjournments that have made a mockery of the regional judicial system.

Studying abroad during a pandemic
By Olivia Wales
We should have known something was wrong.
I was at Plaza de España with my study abroad roommate, Hallie Hoch. It was a beautiful, sunny day, yet the usually bustling plaza–one of the most popular tourist sites in Sevilla–was eerily vacant.
There was one flamenco dancer with an empty tip jar. We took some photos and then headed back to our host home for lunch.
3 p.m. Friday, March 13. Sevilla, Spain.
We were greeted by our host mom as we walked in the door. Worry creased the lines of her forehead. "España ha declarado un estado de alarma."
At that moment, COVID-19 ended my semester abroad in Sevilla.
The near future was spinning out of control as Spain declared a state of emergency. My host family had become family to me, but now I worried about getting home.
We gathered around the TV to await President Pedro Sanchez's announcement. In our panic, we moved as close as we could, as if being close would somehow make it more real. As we waited I dialed American Airlines.
The automated voice warned of a high volume of calls and suggested I call back later. Click.
My heart and imagination raced. Would the borders close immediately? Would the police be in the streets tonight? Would we be allowed to leave Spain? Would it still be an option to call back later?
Plaza de España in Sevilla, Spain, on March 13, 2020, the same day Spain declared a national emergency due to the coronavirus outbreak. Photo by Hallie Hoch.
Time to go
We already knew our time in Sevilla was ending early. We had booked flights home for Thursday, March 19 after President Donald Trump announced a travel ban on March 11.
But just the day before, life was normal. We attended our classes, walked by the river with friends and rode the metro. That time was gone.
The house fell silent when President Pedro Sanchez appeared on screen and began speaking. He announced a two-week, nation-wide quarantine, closed all non-essential businesses and only permitted citizens to leave their homes to go to the pharmacy or grocery store.
An app I had installed on my phone to help me document my time abroad sent a notification.
"You may delay, but time will not."
Benjamin Franklin.
I went online to look for flights. Sold out. Sold out. Canceled. After two hours of searching and calling, I finally booked a flight to London for the next morning.
When we went out that evening to say goodbye to our friends, once popular restaurants were already closed and the busiest streets were empty.
The Sevilla I came to know during my two months living there was full of life at all hours, bustling with people and energy. This was a Sevilla I didn't recognize.
Twenty-four hours earlier we thought of this as the flu, shaking our heads at the chaos and panic of others.
Now, we were fleeing the newest epicenter of the coronavirus without knowing what awaited us at the United States border.
Saturday, March 14.
I shoved a semester's worth of clothing into my two checked bags, said goodbye to my host-family and rushed to the airport before sunrise.

It took 12 hours to abandon the life I spent the past two months creating.
Study abroad students filled the Sevilla airport. They crowded the counters. Everyone had so much stuff–bags, suitcases, more bags–all piled on top of each other. We all looked tired and concerned.
People pushed to the front of the line to check-in. Everyone was trying to escape to London before the borders closed. We all feared they could close at any moment. Two flights to London had already been canceled.
My flight to London was completely full. The atmosphere was tense.

The airline bussed us across the tarmac, crowding us in, shoulder-to-shoulder, with no thought of social distancing. It was quiet as people filled the seats and stuffed luggage in the overhead compartments.
The flight attendants knew the situation was tense. Just before takeoff, they led the entire plane in doing the wave.

At take-off the adventure began.
The flight attendants tried to keep the two-hour trip light. They sold lottery tickets and skincare products. They told jokes over the intercom.
We had to go through customs when we arrived in the U.K., due to the Brexit decision, and the customs agent gave a grim remark when he looked at my passport.
The customs agent looked at my passport.
"Trying to make it home? Good luck." He handed it back with a smile.
Every flight from London to the United States was full Saturday, so Hallie and I spent the night in London before our flights the next afternoon.
When I finally stepped inside London's Heathrow Airport at 1 p.m. Sunday, it was strangely quiet, but every flight to the United States was full.
London-Heathrow International Airport at 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 14, 2020. Photo by Olivia Wales.
Nearly all the passengers on my flight were American citizens, and many were study abroad students. They were leaving Italy, Portugal and London.
We took off for Dallas/Fort Worth Airport not knowing what would greet us.
Everyone had to answer a questionnaire about our health and possible contact with the coronavirus.
Traveler Health Declaration for all travelers entering the United States. Photo by Olivia Wales.
When we landed, the flight attendants announced that we had to wait on the plane to receive an update from the CDC. They had no idea what awaited us. After 15 minutes, we walked into a silent DFW customs.
I had read the news and seen photos of lines at DFW Airport and other airports from the day before. I expected to be waiting for hours.
But there was no wait. I walked up to the Border Patrol agent and handed him my completed form and passport. He stamped my passport and waved me through.
No temperature check.
"It's all bueno!"
After seeing the reports about the long lines on the news, my mom drove from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to DFW to pick me up in case I missed my connecting flight.
I made it through customs before she made it to DFW. I waited outside Terminal D as I watched other study abroad students and their parents reunite.
My mom pulled up to the curb and jumped out of the car wearing a sweatshirt that said "It's all bueno!"
I smiled, hugged her and breathed in the Texas air for the first and last time this semester.
I sank into the front seat of the car, fatigued from days of travel, and closed my eyes.
I hoped it would all be bueno.
Fifty-seven hours after Spain declared a national emergency, I woke up on day one of my 14-day self-quarantine in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
"Are you sad you had to leave Spain?"
That's the big question. The truth is, it was time.
Spain, and the rest of the world, changed after the national emergency announcement. My favorite parts of Sevilla were vacant. I was isolated from my new friends and I was nervous about the future spread of the virus.
I'm thankful for the two months I was able to study abroad learning Spanish, traveling and opening myself to the world.
Adiós, for now.

An Appraisal of the Functioning and Effectiveness of the East African Court of Justice
Ally Possi
This contribution reflects on the functioning of the East African Court of
Justice (EACJ) and judges its effectiveness by assessing the Court's
role of ensuring adherence to, the application of and compliance with
the East African Community (EAC) Treaty. The EACJ became
operational on 30 November 2001, following its inauguration after the
swearing in of its judges and the Registrar. During this initial stage of
the Court's existence there were indications that the EACJ was failing
to stamp its authority on the activities of the Community. The main
reason for this failure is the existence of gaps in the EAC Treaty, which
prevent the EACJ from effectively discharging its functions. In addition,
as shown in this article, the EACJ has been delivering judgements on
the grounds of doubtful authority which has gradually diminished the
Court's legitimacy. Given its relevance to the EAC, this may therefore
be the time to audit the EACJ's functioning and reflect on whether it is
moving in the right direction. The hypothesis of this article is that the
EACJ has been struggling to establish its authority in the region,
mostly in the areas of human rights, the rule of law and good
governance. In tracing its history so far it is easy to discern its strategic
attempts at judicial law-making to arrogate to itself the role of the
protector of human rights. While it is acknowledged that the EACJ is
increasingly receiving cases of a divergent nature, most of these cases
have had little influence on the integration project or are outside the

When I was a little girl, we lived out in the country on a dead end lane lined with gnarled old locust trees and a sprawling corn field. No one ever came down our lane unless they lived there or were visiting, and we only used the side door in the cinderblock breezeway to go in and out of our house. So when the front doorbell rang, we always knew it was a stranger. We'd move plants and big ceramic animals out of the way to get to the seldom-used front door, and I was always excited to see who it could be.
One day when we opened that front door, a lady was there with a box of clown bells. She had them sitting in little cardboard cubicles on our front step and she cheerily prattled on to my father about how she was selling the bells for some charity or another. I stood behind my tall, imposing father and peered around him into the box of clown bells. My father said, "Sure, I'll buy one from you." He turned around and told me I could choose a bell. I stepped forward and looked into the box. It was full of ceramic clowns. I wasn't into clowns; I was into horses and dogs and cats. I looked very carefully, but there were no horse bells, dog bells or cat bells... just ugly clowns. I gingerly pulled one out of the box and held it up. I gave it a little jingle. My Dad smiled, paid the lady $5.00, and I was the not-so-proud owner of a really ugly clown bell.
I took the bell inside to my room and set it on the dresser with my ceramic dogs, cats, and horses. The poor ugly thing looked so out of place; the frowning, sad-looking clown with its oversized baggy green pants piled around its legs and feet like Shar-pei skin had his hand outstretched, palm up, as if he were asking for a dollar. He was kind of creepy. I hid him behind a Quarter horse and went to play.
Ten years later when I moved out, all of my ceramics went with me, including the bell. When I got married the ugly clown stood with my cats, dogs and horses along with plates and cups in a big china cabinet in the kitchen. The bell was carefully wrapped and packed along with my other things whenever we moved, back and forth across the United States, time after time. My ceramic dogs' legs broke off; my ceramic cats' ears chipped. But the clown bell travelled without harm over and over again. And every time, I'd unpack it and stick it on the shelf behind the horses until we moved again.
The other day I was going through boxes and found a towel bunched up in the corner of a box full of random stuff. I unrolled the towel and... you guessed it... the ugly clown bell appeared. And I thought, "I have never liked this clown bell, not from day one. It is so ugly. I always hide it behind other stuff. Why the heck have I been carrying it around for 35 years??" And I stuck it in the Goodwill box.
Today marks the first ugly-clown-bell-free day of my life since I was 7 or 8 years old. It's gone! It seems like such a silly little thing with a big story, but really, it's just symbolic of my finally being able to sort through what is important and what is not, and let go of the ridiculous stuff. I still have the one good thing about the whole bell experience, and that is the memory of my Dad letting me pick out a bell for a good cause. That's the only thing I want to have... not the bell I never even liked.
What's the ugly clown bell in YOUR life? It could be a thing you hang onto or a thought or belief you have carried for decades that does you absolutely no good. Is there something you need to be free of? Shackles can be broken one small chip at a time. You never know which little breakthrough will be the one that cracks through and sets you free. Keep chipping away.
I love this post too! I think that is great :) It is so freeing to go through all the junk from our past and get rid of it!
This post cracked me up! I can't believe you would continue to pack and unpack that bell you didn't even like! I am probably too far on the other end of the spectrum. I don't save anything. Unless it's important paperwork or something I am currently using on at least a monthly basis, it's GONE! And I'll tell you, I rarely regret getting rid of stuff. It keeps the house nice and clean.
I like that you were able to keep the sweet memory of your Dad buying it for you but to part with the actual clown bell. I am picturing that awful clown from the Stephen King movie "It" with a bell around it's neck.
HA! So many clown bells. Feels good to let them go, though, one by one.
Not a clown fan either! Shudder!!
Apparently I need to be more like Barbara here. I continue in my efforts, too Lyn.
I certainly have clown bells in my life too, & it's almost kind of funny when they're gone. Like, why oh why did I keep it so long?
So funny that you just dutifully kept wrapping, moving, unwrapping, displaying, DUSTING it, repeat! Haha.
We are seeing things with new eyes.

Q: How can I trigger the method on the component in Reactjs? I am just getting my head around components in reactjs. This is part of my component/container:

onAddToCart(id) {
                console.log('testing onaddtocart')
                this.props.dispatch({type: 'ADD_TO_CART', id: id});
            }

render() {

                var Packs = [];
                if (this.props.packsData != undefined && this.props.packsData.existingFoxtelPackage != undefined) {
                    if (this.props.packsData.existingFoxtelPackage.eligiblePacks.length > 0) {
                        Packs = this.props.packsData.existingFoxtelPackage.eligiblePacks;
                        console.log('testing=Packs', Packs);
                    }
                }

                return (

hello from Packscontainer!!!

                            {
                                Packs.map(pack =>
                                    <Pack id={pack.id} name={pack.name} addToCart={this.onAddToCart.bind(this, pack.id)}/>
                                )}

                )
}

The problem is that the onAddToCart method is not fired when clicking on the addToCart button, this is part of the Pack component:

 render() {
        const { addToCart } = this.props
        return (

hello from pack
                {this.props.id} - {this.props.name}

                <button onClick={addToCart}>Add to cart</button>

        )
    }

How can I trigger the onAddTocart method in the container?

A: It is working now there was another issue with the page

How To Get An Omani Citizenship & Passport If You're An Expat


Did you know that Jesus is eager for us to hear His voice?
I don't know about you, but so often when I am facing a difficult situation I forget that Jesus would love to speak directly to me at that moment to bring me His comfort, truth, and guidance.
I've also found that many people think we can't hear Jesus' voice, or that they don't really know how to engage with Him in this way.
This is why I believe Jesus wants us to address this topic today.
Because if we are going to expand our comfort zones and do courageous things, then we want to learn to hear Jesus' voice.
Learning to hear the voice of Jesus.
First, let's resolve a couple of common challenges for people when it comes to hearing from Jesus.
The most common issue people face is that they don't think they will be able to hear Jesus speak to them.
Jesus would not have said this if He did not intend for us to be able to hear His voice.
I want to assure you if you have acknowledged Jesus as the Lord of your life, then God has imparted His Holy Spirit into you. You are one of Jesus' sheep and God intends for you to be able to hear Jesus' voice.
We just need to learn what His voice sounds like.
Second, it's important to understand that Jesus' voice will NEVER contradict the written scriptures and His voice will always line up with his character as revealed in the fullness of scripture.
I'll find myself realizing that the thought I am thinking is not something I would have come up with by myself. It is often a very different perspective than I had been thinking.
So, why would Jesus want us to hear His voice anyway?
There are many reasons. But today I'd like to focus on three and use them to walk us through how we can learn to hear Jesus' voice.
First, Jesus wants us to learn to hear His voice so that He can comfort us.
So often we become anxious, overwhelmed, fearful or rattled by something in our days. When we do, we want to remember Jesus' promise that He is always with us, eagerly waiting to comfort us.
For me, whenever I feel anxious, overwhelmed, or fearful, I have learned to stop what I'm doing and take a few deep breaths.
Then I take a few moments to simply rest in His presence.
It is always such an encouragement to hear Him say this and I will feel my body begin to relax as I soak in the comfort of His reassuring words.
I find His voice to be very gentle and calming.
I allow my self to listen for whatever comes to mind and what I sense within my heart.
It's important to know the Jesus can "speak" in many ways.
As you relax in His presence a thought or image will cross your mind, or a word, a phrase, or you simply a sense peace in His presence.
Allow these things to become the "voice" of Jesus because He communicates with us in many ways.
Believe that you are experiencing the voice of Jesus when your inner spirit becomes settled by what you are hearing, thinking or sensing because Jesus' voice will always bring a sense of life and peace (Romans 8:6).
Savor the moment with Him. Breathe deeply and reflect on the words, images or senses that come to you. Then thank Jesus for the comfort he gave before you return to your day.
A second thing we often need to hear from Jesus is truth.
More often than I like to admit, I find myself thinking thoughts that are not actually true and that end up causing me to spin in circles, stall, feel overwhelmed or get discouraged and lose the energy I need to work.
This is when it's time to turn to Jesus for some truth!
The first step in this process is to recognize when we are feeling a strong negative emotion that is coming from a thought in our mind.
When I identify the thought, I bring it to Jesus for a truth check. This is reflective of 2 Corinthians 10:5 where the scripture teaches us to "take our thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ".
Honestly, when I am feeling overwhelmed, frightened or down and out and I ask Jesus if the thought I'm pondering is from Him, His typical answer is a loving, "Noooooo", and it often makes me chuckle.
If Jesus has indicated that my thoughts or beliefs are NOT in alignment with Him than the next thing I love to do is ask Jesus what His perspective is so I can receive the correction and move forward in the right direction with the mind of Christ.
This brings us to listening to Jesus for Guidance.
The Holy Spirit loves to guide our minds if we will let him. One of my favorite verses in scripture is Romans 8:6.
The reason I love it is because it is so real and yet so filled with hope.
I use this verse almost every day as a fulcrum upon which I pivot.
It says, "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed (led) by the Holy Spirit is Life and Peace".
This creates a simple formula that we can follow every time!
Whenever I find that my thoughts are bringing me to a darkened and lifeless place then I know that I am thinking with the mind of my flesh.
And this is never a good thing!!
We can use this scripture to remind us that we don't have to think the way we are, but we CAN have our mind led by the Holy Spirit instead.
Always a much better deal!
So, how do we do this? Simply ask Jesus for His position on what you are thinking.
Then I relax and let Him speak.
His words and the thoughts He brings are always enlightening, even if convicting. They are filled with truth and a power that sets me free, brings me peace, guides me into the light of His wisdom and puts me back on track.
What a great Savior we have in Jesus!
No matter what you come to Jesus for, He will speak words of comfort, truth, and guidance that will align with His written Word and bring you life and peace.
Hearing from the Creator of The Entire Universe is a tremendous privilege that God has given us.
It is meant to be an abundant blessing that we partake of throughout our days.
As we partake of this blessing, it's important to remember to say "thank you".
This isn't just good manners, it also expands our experience of the blessing and deepens our relationship with The Lord.
It is also of great value to reflect on the moments you spent with Jesus as you move through your day and into the evening. Your personal moments with Jesus will become the highlight of your days.
At night, perhaps you could begin a journal of the things you heard.
As we learn to hear the voice of Jesus, we will gain the fresh perspective, renewed energy and words of instruction we need to overcome the challenges that life and business so often present.
As we grow in our ability to be led by the Holy Spirit we will bring the goodness and glory of God into all we do.
What joy our lives can begin to experience when we truly learn that we are never alone, but that we can call upon Jesus in every moment to receive all we need to succeed in all we are called to do.
I hope you will enjoy learning to listen for the voice of Jesus in all your days.
He is eager to speak.

PUBLISHED: May 3, 2021 at 4:15 a.m. | UPDATED: June 22, 2021 at 9:35 a.m.
Fake accounts using the name of Warren Mayor James Fouts on Instagram and Facebook are being investigated by Warren city police.
Several residents who have recently commented on the mayor's Facebook page or spoken in support of him at recent City Council meetings were targeted. The fake account on Facebook used Messenger and asked people to click on a link to collect winnings from Lions Club International. One message asked the resident if she had been able to speak to an agent regarding her winnings yet.
Resident Pat Bernieri said she received a message from jimfouts76 on Instagram Thursday asking her to click on a link and she immediately recognized it as a scam of some sort.
"Of course I did not click on the link," said Bernieri. "If I want to speak to the mayor, I can call him. Plus, as far as I know, the mayor has never had an account on Instagram."
Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said his department is investigating, but that often internet scammers are located outside of the United States and are extremely difficult to apprehend. It is unclear how many people were targeted in the scam.
Fouts posted a message on his personal Facebook account warning his followers of the imposter and stating that he had contacted the Warren police regarding the matter.
Dwyer said the investigation is ongoing.

Land use land cover and subsequent changes (LULCC) play an important role in weather and climate systems. Observations and modeling studies suggest that LULCC impacts meso- regional, and potentially global-scale atmospheric circulations, temperature, precipitation, and fluxes. The Great Plains Irrigation Experiment (GRAINEX) plans to investigate the impacts of the rapid commencement irrigation and subsequent sustained irrigation on the evolution of planetary boundary layer atmosphere in a region of the Central Great Plains, specifically in Nebraska. We will determine the impacts of the rapid commencement of irrigation in the spring and resultant changes in the land-atmosphere (L-A) coupling at the mesoscale. In addition, this research will investigate the intra-seasonal changes in application in irrigation and their impacts on the boundary layer atmosphere and various processes and mechanisms involved in these changes. To fulfill the objective of this study we will collect field data in collaboration with the Lower Atmospheric Observation Facilities (LAOF) of the University Consortium for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and conduct model simulations to further understand the impacts of irrigation on the atmosphere. To further understand land-atmosphere interactions and coupling, this study will use the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model centered on southeastern Nebraska, a region containing strong soil moisture gradients due to widespread application of irrigation in certain areas.
EOL facilities were deployed at the locations in the Table below. In addition, CSWR deployed 3 mobile radars and other vehicles. Also, UAH deployed 74 weather stations across the domain.
This research will make a significant contribution to improve understanding of the impacts of rapid commencement of irrigation and intra-seasonally enhanced irrigation on the planetary boundary layer atmosphere. The results of this study will also help further understand the role of irrigation on weather events in the U.S. and other parts of the world.
work will be disseminated through participation at conferences, public websites, and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
The project will contribute to the education and training of two graduate students at WKU and UAH and thus contribute in training and expansion of STEM human resources. WKU is the home of the sole meteorology program in both Kentucky and Tennessee. Additionally, various aspects of this research project will be integrated in the classroom through various courses already being taught.

Fiji Aid Program Performance Report 2015-16
Total Australian aid to Fiji in 2015-16 was $78.7 million. This included $50.3 million in bilateral flows, $19 million of which was provided for TC Winston relief efforts and to support Fiji's longer term recovery. Regional and global programs managed by DFAT totalled $25.9 million and $2.5 million was managed by other government departments.
Australia's aid program to Fiji recorded good overall performance against the objective of supporting the private sector. Increasing human development was more challenging, as TC Winston had a devastating effect across Fiji. The program consolidated gains previously made in the health and education sectors and promoted gender equality and opportunities for people with disabilities. Australia's sizable response to TC Winston dominated the final five months of the year. Some program resources were diverted to the response and $19 million in emergency relief and support for Fiji's longer term recovery was provided.
The Aid Program Performance Report (APPR) provides an assessment of the Department's delivery of bilateral development assistance to Fiji from July 2015 to June 2016.

The installation of our technology has prevented pollution and increased the amount of clean drinking water. Our continued industry-leading performance and growth is a testament to this strategy. Obtaining such esteemed recognition is a great honour, which we greatly appreciate."
Water is at the core of sustainable development and it is critical for socio-economic improvement and healthy ecosystems. According to the United Nations (https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal6), in 2020, billions of people still lacked access to safe drinking water and safely managed sanitation. Two thirds of the world's nations are currently not on track to have sustainably managed water resources by 2030.
Richard Haddon added: "It is clear that the availability and management of water resources are critical for humans to prosper. However, rapid population growth and industrial development is putting extreme stress on the planet's water resources. Without further action, there is likely to be an escalation of various water-crises around the world. Our work in parts of the world that suffer acutely from these issues has never been more important."

How "Radical Acceptance" can help you to deal with difficult emotions.
How to change your attitude in order to prevent yourself from being overwhelmed by difficult emotions.
I was recently reminded of RA (Radical Acceptance), which is a change in attitude when you are dealing with difficult emotions.
The danger that so many of us expose ourselves to, when we deal with difficult emotions, is that we tend to push them away, suppress them, dismiss them, or become carried away by them. More than that, we tend to judge ourselves or criticise others for provoking these emotions in us, and for making us feel a certain way. If we consistently deal with our emotions in these ways, then we are at risk of becoming overwhelmed.
This doesn't mean that you are encouraging less favourable behaviour by yourself or others. It means that you are giving yourself a chance to deal with the situation without blame, anger, or accusations. By paying attention in that particular moment, you will be able to focus on your options and identify potential solutions without intensifying your pain.
For example, if you missed your train this morning on your way to work, and you were late for your meeting… Instead of blaming your children who didn't cooperate, Sydney Railroads, or your bosses for making you get to work so early, you can redirect your attention to what you can do about the situation immediately. You can talk to your manager, explain the situation, and reschedule the meeting. Once you have sorted everything out, go for a walk or make a cup of tea and try to destress.
It might be a good idea to come up with your own powerful statements to help yourself deal with difficult feelings and emotions as they arise.
It is in the past now.
I can't change the past—I can only change my behaviour in the present moment.
I won't cry over spilt milk.
I am not going to waste my energy on the past. I will use it wisely on today and my future.
This moment is the result of many decisions prior to this moment.
On the way to work, if you are stuck in traffic or on a full train or bus, don't judge, don't wish for things to be different, and don't get angry. Practice radical acceptance.
When you don't get what you want, don't judge, don't sulk, don't curse. Practice radical acceptance.
Next time you turn on the TV, watch it without any judgement—whether it is a news segment or reality TV show—simply watch without judgement.

Freddie Gibbs shows his acting chops and jet-ski skills in the "Giannis" video
Check out the latest Bandana visual.
By David Renshaw
In a world where Kid Cudi is an HBO darling and Andre 3000 makes movies with Claire Denis surely there's scope for Freddie Gibbs as a leading man.
Take the video for "Giannis" as evidence for the undecided. Gibbs picks up the plot from the "Crime Pays" video and shows Gibbs as he turns his back on a life of crime after having murdered his friend. The whole thing takes place in the middle of the ocean for reasons that seem to extend no further than jet-skis are cool. Which, fair point.

"Giannis" is, of course, taken from Gibbs & Madlib's Bandana and features Anderson .Paak on vocals. The album, Gibbs and Madlib's second as a duo, was released last month and also features Pusha T, Killer Mike, Yasiin Bey and Black Thought. Check out the "Giannis" video above.

Gwen Stefani Says She and Blake Shelton Had a Lot of 'Healing to Do' Before Deciding to Get Married
01/14/2021 Blake Shelton, Couples, Gwen Ste
Gwen Stefani says getting engaged didn't come without "a lot to consider."
While appearing virtually as a guest on the Today show on Thursday morning, the 51-year-old singer, who became engaged to her fiancé Blake Shelton in October, spoke candidly about her engagement and detailed the behind-the-scenes thought processes that she and her soon-to-be-husband had to go through before deciding to take that next step in their relationship.
Asked by Hoda Kotb if she was "gun shy" about getting engaged to Shelton, 44, after both stars had previously gone through their own respective divorces — Stefani from Gavin Rossdale and Shelton from Miranda Lambert — the "Let Me Reintroduce Myself" crooner told the Today co-host, "I think there was a lot to consider when you have so many people involved. Children, and their hearts, and everybody in my family [and] his family, we all went through a lot together."
"So I think in a romantic way, when you fall in love so hard and so unexpectedly — and so late in your life — you think 'I want to marry you!' That's the first romantic reaction, like, 'Let's get married,'" she continued. "So we always talked about it, of course, and I think that as the years were going by, it didn't need to happen. There was a lot of healing to do."
Then, detailing that their relationship and Shelton's proposal "was just natural," Stefani added: "It's funny because he basically had the ring and it was right around my birthday. I was getting a little bit anxious … cause I started having a little insecurity and so it was right on time."
Shelton proposed to Stefani at his ranch in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, where they spent the majority of the lockdown period together amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic with her kids. They announced their engagement on Instagram on Oct. 27.
A source previously told PEOPLE that the couple is "ready to get married" after falling in love on the set of The Voice in 2015. "This won't be a long engagement. There is a reason why Blake proposed now. They are both ready to get married," the source said. "They don't want a huge wedding. They want their family and close friends to attend and that's it."

After news of their engagement, another insider also told PEOPLE that Shelton asked Stefani's three sons — Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 6 — for permission before he proposed.
"Blake told her boys that he wanted to propose and asked their permission," the insider said. "Her family very much approves of him. He's an amazing partner and a great extra dad to the boys. Gwen is ecstatic. The proposal was a surprise."
During her chat on Today, Stefani also spoke about her love for Shelton further after co-host Carson Daly asked what she attributes their love to.
"What don't I love about Blake and what don't we all love about Blake?" she began. "He's just such a good guy, he's one of the most generous human beings and down to earth [people] — it all sounds generic — but it's just so true."
"He's so gifted and so unique and talented and he really is my best friend," she continued. "And I feel just so excited that I have someone in my life that now I have a chance at happiness for a long time to come and it's just a blessing, the whole thing, and it is a miracle."
Stefani added: "It's weird how things happen and you just don't see things that are right around the corner after such devastation."
The Today co-hosts also presented Stefani with a gift during the morning broadcast — a pair of wedding cowbells — which Kotb, 56, playfully told the musician she would find "cute."

How to provide stock availability?
Qualitative Inventory ensures constant product availability on the shelf in retail or in the warehouse of distributor and manufacturer. When answering the question "What is important for the buyer when buying?", the various factors can be distinguished: price, service level, quality, etc., but if the goods are not on the shelf, then all other factors are secondary.
In average practice, Inventory is performed according to the "push" system. All that was manufactured (purchased) should be pushed to the next element of the supply chain: manufacturer pushes goods to distributor, whereas distributor pushes them to the retail chain; the retail chain, sometimes with great efforts, pushes goods to the buyer. Usually, in such system of stock allocation, one type of goods is always in short supply, while the other is always in excess. Sales forecast serves as a basis for stock level estimation: after analyzing past, the consumption forecast for the future is made. And if we haven't guessed, we have to regret over the "pushed" in-demand SKU and losses of sales, as well as to suffer from the surplus and loss from the slow-selling ones. And a client, while expecting to find a specific SKU and after not finding it, becomes disappointed and sales fall off.
There is another approach – "pull".
In the "pull" system Inventory starts from the last element in supply chain – from the buyer himself. As soon as a product is purchased, i.e. it is out from the shelf, information passes to the next element – central warehouse of the chain, and the warehouse replenishes the stock of this product. In this system, warehouse plays the important role as it is the buffer for amortization of demand fluctuations, with help of which the sales "are protected". Based on the aggregate demand of all selling spots, the target stock levels of each SKU are estimated and formed in the warehouse, which are called the buffers. These levels consider delivery time and minimal production lot for each SKU. Thanks to such "protection", the response time to demand is increased and stock level is considerably decreased in the system.
Implementation of the "pull" system is a win-win for everybody: either for a client, who will always find the necessary product and vote with money or for the business that will increase sales, accrue profits and furthermore does not block the circulating money in the slow-selling goods!
We will tell more information about how to implement such system during our online-demonstratoin.

Cryptonews Exclusives FATF Makes Small Crypto Platforms Easy Prey For Big Players
FATF Makes Small Crypto Platforms Easy Prey For Big Players
Many smaller crypto firms will struggle to integrate the new guidelines. It could impact diversity and inclusivity. There is still room for strengthening the voice of developing countries in the standard-setting process.
Source: Adobe/Vasilev Evgenii
As the cryptoasset industry grows, it's only inevitable that it attracts more regulatory attention. The truth of this assumption was highlighted in March, when the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) published an update for its guidance relating to the money laundering risks posed by cryptocurrencies.
There's nothing particularly surprising about this update, which mostly expanded the definition of virtual assets (VAs) and virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to include more of the overall crypto ecosystem (e.g. stablecoins, peer-to-peer transactions). However, observers have noted that the FATF's guidelines could have a negative impact on the competitiveness and inclusivity of the international crypto industry, insofar as it may be easier for larger companies to comply with a growing number of strict guidelines than smaller startups.
This is also the view taken by a variety of industry players speaking with Cryptonews.com, who said that the costs of compliance are more affordable for already established firms. That said, principles of proportionality indicate that smaller companies in developing nations may not have to uphold the same standards as others.
FATF guidelines impose barriers to entry
As Blockchain Association of Kenya founder Michael Kimani noted recently, the FATF's (updated) guidelines are likely to provide established, larger firms with a competitive edge:
This kind of view is shared by players from across the industry, with Dr. Scott Grob of ACAMS (Association of Certified Anti Money Laundering Specialists) telling Cryptonews.com that the FATF guidance will target both small and large VASPs and crypto companies, irrespective of size.
"Unfortunately, many smaller VASP and crypto firms will struggle to integrate these anti-financial crime requirements into their systems and find the technical resources to maintain them," he said.
It's not only exchanges in developing nations and smaller markets who may struggle with the guidelines, but also customers.
"Adoption and enforcement of the FATF guidance can be expensive on the one hand and not appealing for the customers seeking privacy on the other hand. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe most of the exchanges, wallet providers, and custody platforms are not pleased to adopt the guidance," said Or Lokay, Vice President of crypto tax consultancy Bittax.
Given that the FATF's guidelines will be implemented differently according to the specific laws of each jurisdiction, companies in certain nations may have an easier time than others.
"VASPs operating in multiple jurisdictions will be under increased scrutiny and need more robust internal controls, systems for [know-your-customer (KYC)], detection, and better resources," said Scott Grob.
"Subsequently, larger VASPs with simpler operating models in accommodating regulatory jurisdictions, such as Singapore and Japan, will benefit the most."
Basically, increased costs will inevitably result in some smaller startups being priced out of the market. Hence, the worry that the guidelines could impact diversity and inclusivity.
"Since the guidance requires that VASPs collect specific additional information on customers and transactions (including but not limited to 'the travel rule'), compliance with the guidance is likely to result in additional costs for VASPs. In general, higher compliance costs can potentially result in barriers to entry," said Robin Newnham, the head of policy analysis at the Alliance for Financial Inclusion.
Or Lokay pointed out that, according to data from Thomson Reuters, established financial institutions "spend up to USD 500m annually on KYC and customer due diligence, and the average annual spending is USD 48m." This provides some indication of the scale of labor and resources needed to comply with regulations, and of the fact that the regulation tends to lead to at least some degree of consolidation.
Just guidelines, but...
The important point to note about the FATF's guidelines is that they're just that: guidelines. That is, while they set out best practices for identifying and mitigating anti-money laundering (AML), combating the financing of terrorism (CFT)-related risks, they aren't legally binding.
"Whilst such guidance is non-binding, it may be expected to significantly influence national authorities' legal, policy, and regulatory approaches, as well as how countries are assessed for the technical compliance and effectiveness of their AML-CFT regimes as part of their Mutual Evaluations," explained Newnham.
In other words, while each national jurisdiction is expected to implement the guidelines, each has some degree of flexibility in implementing them according to their current infrastructures, practices, and resources.
"The manner in which the guidance is adapted at the national level may vary considerably depending on jurisdictions' different capacity to develop appropriate policy approaches, and the extent to which jurisdictions regulate VASPs only from an AML-CFT perspective, or take more a holistic view to regulation & supervision of the VA/VASP sector," he said.
What's more, Newham added that the FATF guidelines, like most other financial regulations, are designed to be implemented in a way that's proportionate to the level of risk in each jurisdiction.
"If the principle of proportionality in regulation is appropriately applied, such financial regulations should not be to the detriment of smaller firms from developing countries," he told Cryptonews.com.
On the other hand, while there is a risk that the FATF's recommendations will result in some firms being priced out, most commenters recognize that some international regulation is inevitably needed to curb money laundering and criminal activity.
An effective channel
"In the longer-term, compliance with global AML-CFT standards, whilst imposing immediate additional costs for VASPs, could potentially also provide benefit by increasing the reputation of the sector and mainstream adoption," said Newham.
At the same time, the situation can be helped by giving developing economies a greater role in formulating regulations and guidelines.
"Whilst the system of FATF style regional bodies (FSRBs) provides an effective channel for disseminating the FATF standards and guidance to developing countries, as well as a mechanism for assessing their subsequent implementation of the standards, there is still room for strengthening the voice and participation of developing countries in the standard-setting process itself, including through representative Global South networks such as the Alliance for Financial Inclusion," added Newham.
Scott Grob also recommends a number of measures that, if implemented, would facilitate greater inclusion by making it easier for developing economies to introduce regulations.
These include promoting "digital documentation and identification that can be used for remote onboarding onto a financial institution or VASP," introducing "public service utilities and apps that promote interoperability and exchange," and reducing "the onboarding cost and regulations" inherent to KYC guidelines.
However, without such measures, we can still expect the arrival of regulations to help accelerate consolidation in the crypto industry. And as we all know, consolidation and centralization are kind of the opposite of what crypto is supposedly about.

"So an in my rookie year it was a big learning experience," Drake continued. "Because at the end of the day I just wasn't mentally prepared to handle the work load. As if I was out there being an every-day starter. Which I take personally. Because I'm supposed to put myself in the position to help this team win games. And I came up short my rookie year. And as the second year went on I got a lot more special teams opportunities and that gave me a lot more opportunities. Once I got the ball in my hand it was just natural again."
Drake was the league's leading rusher over the season's last five weeks, going for 444 yards and averaging 4.9 yards per pop.
But he sheepishly admitted Tuesday that this often-repeated stat is a bit misleading. Kareem Hunt and Todd Gurley, the league's top two gainers in 2017, had one combined carry in Week 17, as their respective teams were assured playoff spots and elected to protect their best players.
Still, Drake's work that final month speaks for itself — and helped validate the Dolphins' decision to trade Ajayi midway through yet another tumultuous season. Ajayi and Adam Gase were just a bad fit.
Expect none of that drama with Gore, who has one-tenth of Ajayi's ego despite building 10 times the resume.
Assuming he stays healthy, Gore should pass Curtis Martin for fourth on the league's all-time rushing list by Week 3. Gore, who turned 35 earlier this month, has 14,026 career rushing yards, just 75 fewer than Martin.
Drake on Thursday spoke in near-reverential terms about his new teammate, who broke into the league when Drake was just a grade-schooler.
"He works out like he's a first-year, second-year guy," Drake said. "Comes in with that same attitude. I feel like if I could have just half the success that he's had, that would be a win in my book. Because he's definitely the epitome of longevity in this league."
Gore is not here as a glorified coach, however. The Dolphins believe he can still play at a high level, and expect him to. But sure, they also hope he can be an example for Drake in a way that Ajyai and Arian Foster never were.
"I'm a fun-loving type of person," Drake said. "I love this game of football. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world, other than down here playing football. And I love to win. That's why I went to Alabama. Because I love to win. And I love to be a competitor. Gase brought me here because he knows I'm a competitor. And he knows at the end of the day I have ability to make big plays in big games. But once I leave this field. I love the game. But I'm a human being at the end of the [day]."

Zoloft and Shrooms. Combining Antidepressants With Magic Mushrooms
Zoloft and shrooms. What do these two things have in common? Believe it or not, they are both linked to altered states of consciousness. Zoloft is a medication that is used to treat depression, while magic mushrooms are a type of psychedelic drug. Read on!
1 What Is Zoloft?
1.1 Side Effects
2 Magic Mushrooms
2.1 Potent Psychedelics
2.2 Negative Effects of Shrooms
3 Zoloft and Shrooms
4 Psilocybin Mushrooms and Zoloft. Recap
What Is Zoloft?
Zoloft is a type of antidepressant known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. SSRIs work by blocking the reabsorption of serotonin in the brain, which leads to an increase in levels of the neurotransmitter. This action is thought to correct chemical imbalances that are linked to depression and mental disorders.
While Zoloft can be effective for some people, it can also cause side effects such as nausea, headache, insomnia, and sexual dysfunction. In rare cases, it may also lead to more serious problems like suicidal behaviors. But what about Zoloft and shrooms?
Magic shrooms are fungi that contain the psychoactive compound psilocybin. Psilocybin is a tryptamine alkaloid that acts as a serotonin receptor agonist. This means that it binds to and activates serotonin receptors in the brain.
Potent Psychedelics
When psilocybin is consumed, it's broken down into psilocin, which is the active compound that produces psychedelic effects. These effects can include alterations in perception, mood, and cognition. Magic mushrooms are considered to be one of the most potent psychedelics.
Negative Effects of Shrooms
While magic mushrooms aren't known to be addictive, they can cause some negative side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. In rare cases, they may also cause more serious problems like anxiety or psychosis.

Zoloft and Shrooms
Now that we know a bit about Zoloft and shrooms, let's explore how they can affect people when used together. When taken together, Zoloft and shrooms can cause some interesting effects. Some people report feeling more content, while others may feel more anxious or confused. The side effects of both substances can also be amplified.
It is important to start with a low dose if you are planning on taking both substances, and to be aware of your surroundings and mental state. If you start to feel uncomfortable, it's best to stop taking the drugs and seek medical help if necessary.
Psilocybin Mushrooms and Zoloft. Recap
Zoloft and shrooms are very different substances that can have profound effects on the human mind and body. If you're considering taking them together, it's important to do your research and be aware of the potential risks. With that said, some people may find that the combination is quite pleasant and beneficial!

Andrej Kiska was born on 2 February 1963 in Poprad, Czechoslovakia to teacher parents. After completing high school from a local school in Poprad, Kiska joined the Slovak Technical University in engineering field. He graduated in 1986.
Andrez Kiska with his wife.
Andrej Kiska is married to Martina Kiskova and the couple has four children: Natalia, Andrej, Viktor and Veronika. The family currently resides in Grassalkovich palace.
Graduating as an engineer from the Slovak Technical University, Kiska joined Naftoprojekt as a designer. Frustrated with low opportunities, he went to the United States. However, the American dream didn't provide him anything: despite having an engineering degree, Kiska had to work at a petrol station and a construction. Hence, returning to Slovakia seemed to be a better option for him.
Returning to the Slovak Republic, in pursuit of building a business, Kiska acquired a company which soon went bankrupt. However, this was just a speed bumper for Kiska's desire to progress in business. He moved on from numerous positions to positions and founded various companies, many of which became largely successful. His financial institutions, Triangle and Quatro, served 1 million plus people and acquired huge market value. Kiska sold his company shares in 2005 and turned towards philanthropism.
In collaboration with a friend, Kiska built up a non-profit organization and named it Good Angel. As a starter fund, Kiska donated personal €1 million to Good Angel. Now, the organization is aimed at helping financially crashed families and is often deemed as the most successful charity in Slovakia. In 2014, Kiska extended Good Angel's services to Czech Republican people as well. As of today, almost 200,000 people financially support the charity.
Having acquired enough fame because of philanthropism, Kiska announced his bid for 2014 presidential election. In the runoff election on 29 March 2014, he won the opposition with 60% votes in favor. Following the win, Kiska vowed to donate his presidential salary to Good Angel. Assuming the office on 15 June 2014, Kiska has been largely focused on foreign policies. He wants the Slovakian government to recognize Kosovo as an independent state and condemn Russian-induced conflict in Ukraine.
Romanian President Andrej Kiska and US President Donald Trump seem to have similar backgrounds. Both are businessmen who have been renowned because of numerous feats in their own fields. Apparently, both decided to run for president after being fed up with the tendency of politicians to forget about the voters.
"Dear Mr. President-elect. On behalf of the citizens of the Slovak Republic and on my behalf, let me congratulate you on your election as the 45th President of the United States of America.
The United States of America is a strategic ally and friend of both the Slovak Republic and the European Union. Sharing of common values of freedom and democracy is a solid basis of our mutual relations.
Slovakia considers preservation of the strong transatlantic bonds to be one of the most important pillars of its security and prosperity. It is highly important for solving challenges both in Europe and the world. Mutual trust and allied unity are the best answer for finding solutions. And in particular, I mean the security in the Euro-Atlantic area and stability beyond its borders. The Slovak Republic is aware of its commitments and will continue to fulfill them.
I am delighted to note that mutual relations between Slovakia and the United States of America are equally excellent in a practical way. I especially appreciate intensive development of the defense and economic cooperation. The Unites States of America serves as an inspiration and a good example in many areas – from support of enterpreneurship to the development of science, research, new technologies and innovations. Strong people-to-people contacts that we have managed to build are the cornerstone of the understanding between our countries and citizens.

Q: How to Design/Configure PCLs(Portable Class Libraries) with Dependencies? I have a Portable Class Library (Targets .Net462 and .Net Core).
It has a dependency on Newtonsoft.JSON.
When I use the PCL from my projects, at runtime do I get the following error:

System.IO.FileLoadException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=10.0.0.0... or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference.

I hoped the PCL would somehow contain everything it needed to run.
How do I design PCL to either require the specific Newtonsoft.JSON or otherwise smartly handle the dependency requirements?
Added with @Hans Passants Suggestion.
The following is my project.json
{
  "supports": {
    "net46.app": {},
    "netcore50.app": {}
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.NETCore": "5.0.0",
    "Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility": "1.0.0",
    "Newtonsoft.Json": "10.0.2"
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "dotnet": {
      "imports": "portable-net452"
    }
  }
