In the past, I haven't much been into oranges and bronzes but this season they are everywhere and I have to admit, I'm slowly changing my mind about it. This bronze sparkle is beyond stunning.
Probably one of my favorites from the Color Club 2014 Fall Collection, a lilac silver glitter with the perfect amount of sparkle.
Beyond stunning, this indigo glitter has larger matte purple glitter suspended throughout. This is the perfect polish to make a statement.
Every fall collection has to have a gold and this sparkly golden colored polish is it. A little too yellow for my liking, still a gorgeous polish. This is the only one of the seven in the collection that required 3 coats (as opposed to 2) for full opaque coverage.
Purple, purple, purple! This color is screaming for a night out. Glitter is more uniform in size in this polish but this dark aubergine purple is beyond stunning!
This is an interesting polish in the Color Club Fall Collection. It appears a little less matte then the others and the texture is a little different. It's a black/dark blue base with teal and green micro glitter. Another stunner!
An aubergine colored texture polish lined with bronze colored micro glitter. The perfect fall accent to almost any outfit.
What's your favourite in color in the Color Club Fall 2014 Collection?
They look so good! I can't help but trying to imagine how great they would be blinging after adding agenerous layer of good glossy top coat. Can you?


Mass Games expected. Mass Games is the biggest show on Earth - in 2007 they were recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest gymnastics display.
Mass Dance - thousands of Korean students gather in one of the main capital squares and dance to celebrate the National Day!
This is once in a year exclusive opportunity to visit 4 celebrated mountains of the DPRK. Mt.Paektu - the highest mountain on the Korean Peninsula (2750 m above sea level), with the most striking landscape in the DPRK, and the deepest in the world mountain lake on the summit. It is extremely hardly accessible mountain which we visit only one time the year - most of the year this mountain is covered with snow. Mt.Kumgang - most popular hiking destination, Mt.Chilbo - the only place in the DPRK where you can experience unique home stay in a Korean family, and Mt.Myohyang - to see world's biggest treasure-house exhibiting gifts received by Korean Leaders over the years.
9 September - is the main National holiday of the DPRK: 70th Anniversary of the Foundation of the Republic. On this occasion there will be amazing Mass Dance and Pyongyang will feature holiday festivities including expected Military Parade. See rarely visited by foreigners ancient relics of Pyongyang and try unique Tram ride around the city. It is also expected that there will be one of its kind Pyongyang Taedonggang Beer Festival - Korean version of German Oktoberfest. During this event you can try locally brewed beer and take part in various contests.
On this tour you will have an optional opportunity to take the PYONGYANG AIR CITY TOUR - a 40 minute trip in the skies aboard an Air Koryo Mi-17 helicopter. You will have an unrivalled bird's-eye view of Pyongyang from the sky and a lot of great photo opportunities. If you would like to add this option to your itinerary please inform us when you book your tour.
**ATTENTION: the National Day is very popular with foreign visitors, please book your tour early.

My experience and understanding of business will always underpin my support for the thousands of people in the seat of Flinders who own or work in small businesses.


When the court offers one the services of an attorney, this offer is a commercial draft. The court is the drawer- which is the debtor. The offeree- the "patriot", is the creditor or the drawee. He is the banker which can honor the court by acceptance. To fail to accept the offer is to go into dishonor. To go into dishonor is a contempt. This makes the "patriot" a debtor to the court, which empowers the court, by voluntary consent, to carry out the execution of a "charge", that is not supported by the rules of evidence, as if it were a common law conviction. The prison sentence is for contempt of court by dishonor. The length of the sentence is the sentence for the crime if the public and the government, under their disability of reorganization, would have the power of common law execution, which they do not except that you give it to them by your dishonor.
Because of the above process, many wise "patriots" whose strawmen are charged in the public courts now accept the offer of the public attorney or defender. This creates an honorable relationship between the people and the government, judges, and attorneys. It also makes the patriot the creditor in the situation, if the patriot knows how to act as a creditor.
One who has been offered an attorney must accept the offer by written contract. The contract is nothing more than a copy of the written order with an "acceptance for value and return for value" written across it with the "patriots" signature and the EIN- or the exemption identification number, written on it with the date. The original signed and merged agreement is placed back into the clerk's file of the proceeding as evidence. There is now an agreement IN FACT and it appears to the public side of the proceeding.
After the agreement, IN FACT, is established, the "patriot", being the creditor of the agreement, has the capacity to draft the appointed attorney to carry out whatever honorable functions the "patriot" has for the attorney to address the substance and the procedure of the "charges". This can be done by the use of a Letter Rogatory.

My son is now years old and nine months, but so far does not say simple sentences !!!
My son is now years old and nine months, but so far does not say simple sentences only speak a few words does not exceed 10 words but understand each and every thing his orders directed him.
You know if he is doing everything you ask and understands everything said. And you doctor is pretty satisfied with his milestones. It just may mean he hasn't found a reason to talk. I won't let my little girl just point to ask for what she wants. I ask her to use her words. Or I say the objects name and ask her to repeat. Some kids are naturally quiet. They may enjoy observing rather than reacting to things. I've heard of quiet children alot. But once they get a reason to talk, it's like the flood gates are open..

Q: RoR: ActiveRecord and disqualifying with associated models I am trying to figure out how to disqualify records in a query that are found in an associated table.
I have 3 tables, User, Job, and the associated table JobDenial.  JobDenial has a belongs_to relationship with User & Job.
I have an ongoing Job ActiveRecord that is qualifying on a number of different things, but I need to add the additional condition, so that it disregards jobs where the job_id and the current user_id are found on JobDenial.
I can do this currently as:
job_ids = current_user.job_denials.map(&:job_id)

jobs = Job.near(params[:zipcode], distance).where('active = true AND id NOT IN (?)', job_ids).select(:id).uniq

.... but I'm wondering if there is a more efficient way of doing this with out resulting to getting a map first of job_ids.

A: I might add a few scopes to Job similar to:
scope :active, ->{ where(active: true) }
scope :approved, -> { includes(:job_denials).where(job_denials: {id: nil}) }

Change the naming however seems best for your app, but this allows you to use simple, easy-to-read chains to pull your Job data
Job.active.approved
current_user.jobs.active.approved.near(...)

Hope that helps.

A: Your query would be:
jobs = Job.includes(:job_denials)
          .where(active: true)
          .where(job_denials: {job_id: nil})
          .near(params[:zipcode], distance)

If you just want to select id from job:
job_ids = Job.includes(:job_denials)
             .where(active: true)
             .where(job_denials: {job_id: nil})
             .near(params[:zipcode], distance)
             .pluck(:id)

Q: Increment or Decrement value using Sequelize upsert() In Sequelize I am using upsert() to insert a new row if it doesn't exist or increment one of its field values by some other value if it exists.
Inserting works fine but when the value gets updated it is not getting incremented but completely updated
let x = 5;

OrderDetails.upsert({
   menuItemId: 1234,
   orderId: 4321,
   quantity: sequelize.literal((`quantity + ${x}`)
})

This results in this query:
INSERT INTO `OrderDetails` (`menuItemId`,`orderId`,`quantity`,`createdAt`,`updatedAt`) VALUES (?,?,quantity + 5,?,?)
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE `menuItemId`=VALUES(`menuItemId`),`orderId`=VALUES(`orderId`),`quantity`=VALUES(`quantity`),`updatedAt`=VALUES(`updatedAt`);

So if for example the previous value was 10 then after the query the updated value will be 5 instead of 15.
My guess is that there is a kind of bug in Sequelize when using upsert() with sequelize.literal(). Apparently, it is only recognized in the insertion and not in the update.

A: Apparently, there is a bug in Sequelize so I opened an issue on Github about it (you can check it out here). This question was asked with Sequelize version 6.3.5 so maybe if you are reading this, the bug has already being solved.
What I ended up doing was getting the previous value of the field and then adding it up with the amount to be incremented:
let extra = 5;
let previousValue = /....LOGIC.../

OrderDetails.upsert({
   menuItemId: 1234,
   orderId: 4321,
   quantity: previousValue + extra
})

A: This previous answer helped to me, but you don't need to get the previous value again. It has an easier method. Enjoy your meal.
db.sequelize.query(

Someone playing tennis with his friends isn't the same thing as a Nadal or a Federer playing competitively. No matter how competitive you are at playing with friends in your backyard, or, for example, doing something as a hobby, there's a quantum leap that is necessary when you commit to do something professionally. The stakes are much higher if you're earning a living though what you do. Your independence, your monetary sustainability, your image and reputation, your career, all of this is laid on the line.
Someone who devotes professionally to an activity is far more focused, competitive, prepared, and went through the tials and ordeals of succeeding in an environment. Considerable investments of time, training, practice, and preparation, are involved, which often aren't visible or even conceivable for someone casually looking from the outside.
For this reason, someone who asks for monetary compensation for spiritual work is not the same thing as a person who does it for free. A person who offers free Reiki sessions is not the same thing as someone performing Reiki professionally. A person who uses their clairvoyance and intuition in their spare time is not the same thing as someone who relies on it for a living. Why? Placing your hands over someone, practicing your skills and gifts, is one thing; putting yourself out there, going all the way with your life, and dealing on an everyday basis with others within said context, is quite another. Making spirituality your living, rather than a peripheral or auxiliary element, is the great trial by fire.
To think true spirituality must be free, is to dismiss the specialist who has come in to perform specific, specialized work.
It is to believe that the work of the carpenter, of the lawyer, and of the businessman, are all deserving of monetary retribution, but the work of the spiritual facilitator isn't. It is to believe these occupations deserve to earn their sustenance, but the spiritual practitioner must have a 'job' on the side, or depend on donations and charity. The practitioner must "rely on God to earn his sustenance" – but not earn that sustenance by working on precisely what he came here to do.
Using the same analogy, what if God wanted you to come to Earth to provide your gifts and service? Wouldn't it be silly if you came down and once here you said 'sorry, no, I can't ask for money for doing that'.
Your personal inner connection with Spirit, without intermediaries, is free; the services and expertise of a professional aren't. There is need for monetary compensation for spiritual service, much like with any other form of service. Asking for monetary compensation is how the service is properly valued and honored by society and other individuals.
It's true money is often a catalyst for lack of integrity, deceit, corrupting the intention of individuals and the purpose that is intended to be achieved. It's easy to act outside of integrity or deceit to earn money at the expense of others. However, this doesn't imply truthful, well-meaning practitioners are to be subjected to clandestinity. Just because Prada handbags are replicated and fakes are produced all the time, doesn't mean Prada should stop their business. Prada is not accountable for those who fake their work, nor does it mean that all Prada in existence is fake. Both situations co-exist.
A practitioner who committed to living from his spiritual tools has taken responsibility not only for the service he provides to others but also for his own personal growth and staying in spiritual integrity at all times. It's the practitioner's responsibility to stay in integrity, and it's the responsibility of those being served to assess if the service is truthful, useful, and indeed offered in integrity. Spiritual skill and gifts are only the tools. It's always really about the person performing them, his or her level of consciousness, and responsibility.
You might observe that the systems by which our society is designed to work – such as the concept of money, and/or how money is created, shared, etc – might not function properly, ideally, or be in balance. You might observe that imposing on the human being he must work for its own basic sustenance and existence, or letting him suffer the consequences of lack of said sustenance, might often bring out the worst of mankind – cutthroat competition, lack of integrity, stealing, deceit for the sake of getting money, and so on. I have no objections against such considerations. Society in many ways is very far from balance.
However, from the moment society agrees in working with money – a concept representing one's personal worth, usefulness, and resources at any given time – and for as long as it does, you can't hold the perception truthful spiritual practitioners and teachers offering legitimate service are by principle obligated to offer their service for no compensation, and are instead meant to rely on charity, offerings, handouts, etc. Maybe they're supposed to, maybe that's part of their path; or maybe it isn't. If that's the model that best fits with the purpose an life contracts of the Soul, then it is. But not all Souls come in with that purpose.
Perhaps you're perfectly willing to pay for a smartphone, a loaf of bread, or a house – but not for spiritual guidance, healing, or to facilitate knowing who you really are. Perhaps you're willing to give your money in exchange for the normal and material, but not for what's deep down most important above all. This type of perspective essentially sees the spiritual as either so ethereal and pure that it shouldn't involve money, or so ephemeral and subtle that it has no practical worth in the real world. And when adopted by the spiritual practitioners themselves, such perspectives can be extremely dangerous, as they can obscure the ways they were meant to earn money through their service in an appropriate manner. Such beliefs might very well – and often do – lead those in spiritual service to spend entire lifetimes providing their sacred gifts to others without ever leaving a context of permanent financial struggle, poverty, physical exhaustion, disrespect for their service, serving beyond their own physical limits, etc.
It is perfectly possible to offer a service, any service, and do so in balance, without necessarily being "corrupted by money", in other words, engaging in any kind of behavior that's self-centered and lacking in integrity. It is like this with any service, and it is like this with spiritual service as well.
The idea of money being evil, inadequate, and at odds with the spiritual, often comes from past memories and experiences. Perhaps you were once corrupted by money, engaging in lack of integrity, or you were deceived by someone doing so. Perhaps you felt everytime money was involved the human lower beliefs, deceit, and sense of survival, competition, etc seemed to take over. So you blamed money. However, while understandable, blaming the thing causing the lesson is ultimately an illusion. The true, real issue is not money itself, but the integrity of the person performing the service in exchange for it.
As such, don't label the practitioner requesting money for their service as being intrinsically out of integrity. There's nothing spiritual or righteous about this perception. A practitioner might be in integrity, might not be, or lie somewhere in between – but whether they are in integrity or not, or to the extent they aren't, relates first and foremost to the choices and awareness of the person, and their own sense of spiritual responsibility.


The idea to create the AAPPS (Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies) Prize or Award was first discussed at the Third Council meeting held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in August 1992. It was noticed that it is important to encourage young physicists in the Asia/Pacific region and to introduce excellent activities in the region around.
outstanding young physicists in the country/region where the APPC is held.
the APPC (the host society).
c. The criteria for selection are decided by the host society.
e. The President of the AAPPS awards the AAPPS Award at the APPC.
The Seventh APPC was decided to be held in Beijing, China in August 1997. Then the Chinese Physical Society (the Executive Committee of the 7APPC chaired by Professor Zhao Zhong Xian) selected two candidates of awardees. Both candidates were approved by the Third Ordinary General Meeting of the AAPPS held on 18 August 1997.
The first AAPPS Award was given to two graduate students in China from the AAPPS President at the Closing Ceremony of the 7APPC.
The awardees and their subjects were Mr. Wu Jian (Department of Physics, Tsinghua University) by his contribution on ¡°the electron transport through mesoscopic systems¡± and Mr. Yang Haitao (Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) by his contribution on ¡°the development of 4.2K high vacuum scanning tunneling microscope and its applications to high temperature superconductors¡±.
Professor Chen Ning Yang was the Chairperson of the Ad Hoc Group for the Formation of the AAPPS from 1988 to August 1990 and the First President of the AAPPS from 11 August 1990 to 2 July 1994.
He worked as a Council member of the AAPPS in the Second term and retired from the Council at the end of 1997. The Council acknowledged his long-standing contribution for the AAPPS and conferred him the title of Honorary President. At the same time the AAPPS Award of Physics was renamed as the AAPPS Chen Ning Yang Award.
Ling Lu played an important role in the recognition of the newfield of ¡°topological photonics¡± – the term that he coined, including the first observation of Weyl points, the writing of the first review article, as well as the extension of topological physics into other bosonic and classical systems.
Marcus is internationally recognized as a principal contributor to the emergence of diamond-basedquantum technologies, including quantum microscopy, quantum computing and quantumcommunications. These technologies represent new paradigms of microscopy, computing andcommunications that have the potential to revolutionize many disciplines of science and technology.His research spans first-principles solid state theory to device design and demonstration. Marcus hasreceived several academic awards, including the Geoff Opat Award of the Australian Optical Society,the Dr Phillip Law AC Award of the Royal Society of Victoria, runner-up to the New Journal of PhysicsEarly Career Award and the University of Melbourne Chancellor's Prize for Excellence in the PhDthesis.
The 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the pioneering theoretical work on ¡°topology in 1D/2D materials¡± developed in 1980¡¯s. Dr. Sasagawa has been trying to develop both new compounds and novel electronic functionality within a new class of 3D bulk materials called "topological insulators and superconductors". His achievement was the discovery of several novel electronic materials including a ¡°magnetic¡± topological insulator, a ¡°polar¡± topological insulator, and a promising candidate topological ¡°superconductor¡±, which will be used to realize innovative topological electronics such as spin devices and quantum computers.


Like wines, olive oils have a myriad of flavors and aromas.
The more robust tasting the olive oil — with an intense bitterness and astringency on the nose and palate — the more antioxidants it has. It also will keep longer — even five years — than milder tasting olive oils, which should be consumed within a few months of pressing.
Use pungent extra virgin olive oils when you want them to be the focal point, such as in salads or as a finishing touch to dishes or just to dunk chunks of crusty bread in. Use mild olive oils in cooking when you don't want its flavor to dominate.
Those were among the olive oil lessons I learned on my recent trip to Australia with a small group of food journalists. We were guests of Boundary Bend Ltd., which makes Australia's premier extra virgin olive oils under its Cobram Estate label.
One of the highlights of the trip was getting to taste a variety of just-pressed oils. After choosing our favorite varietal, we were each given a precious little bottle to take home.
While most of my colleagues opted for the more potent tasting oils, I chose the Manzanillo, a more delicate, fruity, and almost creamy tasting oil with the intriguing scent of strawberry jam.
My hosts said it was ideal for baking. And they were correct, as it tasted lovely in the "Olive Oil and Sherry Pound Cake" that I made when I returned home.
The recipe is from "Pure Dessert" (Artisan) by Berkeley's renowned baker, Alice Medrich.
A whole cup of extra virgin olive oil, as well as a cup of sherry, goes into the batter. Olive oil cakes tend to bake up super moist, and this one was no exception. Do as I did, if you like, and dust the top of the cake with a shower of powdered sugar before serving.
This is a classic cake with a subtle complexity and richness from the olive oil, as well as a whisper of nuttiness from the sherry and a zing of citrus from grated orange zest.
It proved a most fitting finale for my coveted Australian souvenir.
Food Gal Contest: How would you like to win your own bottles of award-winning Cobram Estate extra virgin olive oils from Australia?
Four lucky Food Gal readers will be able to do just that. Each will win a box of five bottles — one each of Cobram Estate's "Light & Delicate," "Fresh & Fruity," "Rich & Robust," "Lemon Twist," and "Garlic Crush" extra virgin olive oil blends.
The contest is open only to those in the continental United States. Deadline to enter is the end of the day, July 17. The four winners will be announced July 19.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly in a large bowl and sift together. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (with the whisk attachment if you have one), beat the sugar, oil, and orange zest on high speed until well blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; continue to beat until the mixture is thick and pale, 3 to 5 minutes. Stop mixer and add one-third of the flour mixture. Beat on low speed just until blended. Stop the mixer and add one-third of the flour mixture. Beat on low speed just until blended. Stop the mixer and add half the sherry. Beat just until blended. Repeat with another third of the flour, followed by the remaining sherry, and then the remaining flour.
Scrape batter into pan(s). Bake until cake tester comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes for either the tube pan or the loaves. Cool cake in the pan(s) on a rack for about 15 minutes before unmolding.
If using a tube pan, slide a skewer around the tube. If the sides of the pan are straight, slide a thin knife or spatula around the sides to release the cake (unless lined with paper). If using a Bundt or other decorative pan, tap one side of the pan against the counter to release the cake, then tap the other side. Invert the cake onto a rack. Turn the preferred side up before cooling the cake completely. Wrapped airtight, the cake keeps well at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.


In the book "Representative Descendants of the Scotch-Irish Brothers Moses and Hugh White", p. 29, the statement is made that Col. Joseph White "married Lucy Lilly, daughter of William Lilly and his wife, Lucy Bybee of Bybee, Fluvanna County, VA..."This same information, in almost the same words, is engraved on impressive grave marker in the White Family Cemetery, and I know I have seen the same words in a couple of other places.
There is no doubt that Joseph White's wife was named Lucy, and there is little doubt that she was a Lilly.But what I want to know is how did anyone conclude that she was the daughter of William Lilly of Fluvanna County.I can find no marriage record for them in Fluvanna County, nor have I yet found any primary record that would support this conclusion (that Lucy was the daughter of William Lilly of Fluvanna).Obviously I must be missing something.Is there by any chance, a White family Bible record that substantiates the claim?Or what?
I would very much appreciate any information that would help to make me more confident that the claim is true.


A VETERAN says concrete bollards earmarked for Anzac Day marches are an exaggerated response to safety concerns. The bollards will be used for the first time at Bendigo and Eaglehawk marches this year under new Victoria Police and state government safety guidelines to protect pedestrians from cars. The use of bollards was "offensive" to servicemen and women planning to pay homage to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, Vietnam Veterans Association Bendigo president Paul Penno said. "We see the imposition of barriers to hide behind on Anzac Day as a disgrace and a moral victory to those who wish to oppress us," he said. "Democracy is all about freedom of speech and movement. "Being able to move freely about and gather in the public domain is what democracy is all about." Mr Penno feared concrete barriers could send an inadvertent message to people about their safety and unnecessarily encourage distrust, including towards Muslims. Related: Bendigo, Eaglehawk Anzac Day marches rerouted as security costs soar About 40 veterans learnt about plans for the bollards during a VVA Bendigo sub-branch meeting and were "unanimously opposed" on the grounds the security barriers were overly risk adverse, Mr Penno said. Bendigo police officer Craig Gaffee said the decision to use concrete barriers was not necessarily about preventing incidents like terrorist attacks. There was no known threat of those sorts to Victoria, he said, though they were always a risk. Police supported any strategy that kept pedestrians separate from cars at major events because it kept them from any injuries, Acting Inspector Gaffee said. "As boring as this sounds, it's really about increasing safety for everyone," he said. Mr Penno said road closure signs, which had been used at past Bendigo and Eaglehawk marches, were more appropriate for Anzac Day services. On Sunday, Bendigo RSL president Peter Swandale said he was not opposed to the barriers because safety needed to come first, but expressed concern about the additional costs they could place on groups organising community events. He met with City of Greater Bendigo staff on Wednesday to discuss how and who could pay for bollards at the Bendgo march. Mr Swandale said it was a positive meeting and was confident of an equitable outcome, though nothing had yet been locked in. Organisers had already agreed to pay for bollards at the Eaglehawk march. No concrete would be used at the Kangaroo Flat march, with the council instead preparing rolling road closures. If bollards were forced on marches long term, Mr Penno hoped governments would foot the bill. Have you signed up to the Bendigo Advertiser's daily newsletter and breaking news emails?

News Coronavirus NSW confirms case of community COVID transmission
1:18pm, May 5, 2021 Updated: 3:33pm, May 5
NSW confirms case of community COVID transmission
The man has reportedly visited Westfield Bondi several times in recent days.
NSW has a new local COVID case, a mystery infection in a man who has spent several days in the community before being diagnosed.
The man, who is in his 50s, is described as having been "very active" in Sydney's inner-east in recent days.
His positive diagnosis was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon and he is thought to have been infectious since last Friday.
NSW Health is using venue QR codes to trace the man's movements while he was infectious.
Among the venues of concern is the busy Event Cinema at Bondi Junction, along with a host of restaurants and retailers. Health authorities want anyone who was at the cinema from 6-8pm last Friday to get tested for COVID.
Tweet from @NSWHealth
"This person did everything right, but it goes to show that we can't take a single thing for granted," Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.
"It goes to show we have to maintain our social distancing, have to make sure we have good hand hygiene, we need to get tested with the mildest of symptoms, and very importantly and significantly, we need to use QR codes."
The man has not yet received a COVID-19 vaccine.
"We have to assume there's other cases and our response will be proportionate as it always has been in NSW," she said.
"Everybody in the state needs to be on high alert."
The infected man has not returned from overseas, and does not work in hotel quarantine. Health authorities say the source of his infection remains a mystery.
"Genomic testing will give us some indication as to the strain and, therefore, some potential links," Ms Berejiklian said.
Results of the genomic testing – which will include looking at strains of the virus circulating in NSW hotel quarantine and interstate – are expected on Thursday morning.
NSW chief health officer Kerry Chant said the man's close contacts were also being tested and were isolating.
Dr Chant said she did not believe the man was infectious at his workplace and her main focus was whether he had passed the virus onto his household contacts.
"Understating the source will be really important to understand how many cycles we have seen in the community that we haven't recognised yet," she said.
Authorities were keeping an open mind while working to find the source of the man's infection, she said.
They also expect more cases to emerge after the man's mystery diagnosis.
Ms Berejiklian said it was too soon to say if the latest case would spark a return to tougher rules in NSW, but "all options are on the table".
"We have to assume there's other cases, and our response will be proportionate as it always has in NSW," she said.
"No doubt this positive case will alert more people to come forward and get tested, and that's a good thing."
Ms Berejiklian also encouraged all eligible people to get vaccinated.
From Monday, people 50 and older have been able to get immunised at some Commonwealth-run respiratory clinics across Sydney.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt said on Wednesday: "We know the strength of the NSW system, the absolute global gold standard."

Earlier this week we reported that ORA is preparing to release their captive-bred Mandarins. Well, we had a chance to look at them this week at the Global Pet Expo in Orlando. The ORA captive-bred mandarins looked plump and happy, swimming around the ORA reef tanks. A few photos show off the ORA Pearlberry, ORA Hawkins Blue, and a few of the newer releases like the Green Wooly and the Purple Stylophora.
Again, we would like to emphasize that the advantages of buying a captive-bred Mandarin. Being that these species will be accustomed to eating frozen food, keeping a healthy well-fed fish will be much easier, and the rate of successful rearing should increase. We will report a few more details in a soon-to-come article.
They are so adorable! About how big would you say they are? About an inch?

IBM cuts annual energy use by 5.3%
In 2016, IBM made significant strides in reducing its energy use and carbon emissions through a series of energy conservation projects that delivered annual savings equal to 5.3% of its total energy use, according to its newly released 2016 sustainability report.
Overall, compared to its 2005 baseline, the technology company has slashed its carbon emissions by 38.1%. In 2016 alone, helped by the implementation of more than 2,000 energy conservation projects, IBM saw an estimated savings of $50.7 million, according to the report.
The company surpassed its 2016 energy saving goal of 3.5% in achieving that 5.3% reduction and implemented more than 2,000 energy conservation projects. The projects resulted in electricity savings of 190,000 MWh and carbon emissions savings of 83,000 metric tons, IBM says.
Out of all its 2016 energy conservation projects, 50% were related to its data centers, followed by 15% focused on HVAC systems. Two new data centers in Belgium were designed for a power usage effectiveness of 1.3, a 30% improvement over the data centers receiving replacements. According to the report, 50% of the power used for data centers comes from renewable sources.
In 2016, IBM implemented 344 projects related to cooling efficiency and reduced cooling energy use by nearly 25,800 MWh, saving more than $2.6 million.
The projects included the "installation of thousands of blanking panels, wall panels between racks, cable cutout plugs and cold aisle containment systems, reducing the mixing of hot and cold air and increasing cooling efficiency," the report states. "For the period 2011-2016, IBM increased the average raised floor temperature by more than 2.5 degrees Celsius by shutting down CRACs and rebalancing data center airflow."
In other energy efficiency projects, IBM's Real Estate Strategy and Operations performed almost 7,000 energy conservation projects over the past three years, saving $81 million and implemented analytics technologies to increase energy efficiency, according to the report
The analytic technologies include the "IBM TRIRIGA Real Estate Environmental Sustainability Manager" in 145 buildings, delivering $5 million in cost savings; and chilled water optimization software at its seven largest U.S. sites, which the company said is delivering $2 million per year in savings.
In 2016, IBM also reports that it reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 38.1% from 2005 baseline. The company achieved this reduction by designing and updating data centers to optimize their energy use, purchasing more energy from renewable sources, ensuring the reduction of emissions within its supply chain, managing business travel and increasing the efficiency of its logistics operations.
The tech company also increased the amount of renewable energy purchased to run its operations in 2016. Out of the 3.6 million MWh of total electricity consumed, 19.1% came from grid-supplied renewable energy and 21.5% came from 783,000 MWh of contracted renewables purchased, according to the report.

A Brief History of Our Network
Group Training was established in the early 1980s by industry leaders in the building, construction and automotive sectors with support from government agencies. The concept was developed largely in response to the needs of many small businesses. These smaller businesses found it difficult, given the unpredictable nature of building, construction and automotive work, to make the commitment to employ apprentices for the full duration of their apprenticeship. This led to a concern about future skill shortages for the industry and a concern about missed opportunities for the employment of young people – especially in regional areas. GTOs provided an industry-wide response to uncertain economic and employment conditions. The concept was to create organisations that would recruit and employ apprentices and place them with one or more host employers for the duration of their training, often over a four year period. GTOs were created and by taking on the employment burden, several objectives were met.
GTOs provide:
stable employment opportunities for young people;
a hassle free supply of apprentices and trainees for businesses;
rotation of apprentices to ensure continuing employment and a breadth of experience;
a method of meeting skill needs in areas where employment cycles or the size of employers make long term employment difficult;
a mechanism for placing out-of-trade apprentices; and
a mechanism for ensuring future skills and regional employment can be addressed.
Group training grew slowly at first. However, in 1981 the Group Apprenticeship Scheme was established, and the Commonwealth and State/Territory governments agreed jointly to fund the administrative costs of not-for-profit GTOs and to provide support and encouragement for their establishment. The availability of funding encouraged growth.
1985 the Group Training Association of Victoria was established
1986 traineeships were first introduced
By 1990 there were approximately 90 GTOs offering employment and training to around 10,000 apprentices and 1,000 trainees across Australia
In 1991 Group Training Australia was established as a national association for not-for-profit GTOs.
Apprenticeship & traineeship numbers continued to grow from approximately 17,000 in 1995 to over 38,000 in June 2000
There are 181 GTOs throughout Australia today, employing approximately 48,000 apprentices & trainees who are placed with more than 35,000 host employers.
Organisations operating solely as GTOs are in the minority. The group training activity of employing apprentices and trainees and managing them through the use of host employers is usually accompanied by other government funded and/fee for-service activities.
As the years have progressed, there has been a change in demographics in Group Training apprentices and trainees and government programs with incentives to support:
Increase of females (predominantly in Traineeships)
Increase in mature age
Increase in Indigenous (attributed to government initiatives)
Increase of those with a disability
Increase in non-English speaking background
More support provided to those with learning difficulties
The National Standards for Group Training Organisations were developed in 2002 by the Ministerial Council for Vocational and Technical Education (MCVTE) to provide a formal framework that promotes national consistency and quality for group training. The Standards aim to support the improvement of GTO practice and the credibility of their services to industry. They cover the following areas:
systems for group training services including management of hosting. This standard aims to ensure GTOs have systems in place to plan for and provide quality group training services to apprentices, trainees and host employers;
compliance with Commonwealth, State/Territory legislation and regulatory requirements. This standard requires GTOs to integrate legislative and regulatory rights and responsibilities into its policies and procedures;
effective financial management procedures. This standard aims to ensure that GTOs financial policy and procedures are maintained and reflect actual practice.
effective administrative and records management procedures. Through this standard the integrity, accuracy and currency of the GTOs records can be assured;
effective corporate governance. This standard aims to ensure that GTOs have appropriate structures and processes in place for decision making, accountability and control of the GTO;
access and equity. This standard requires GTOs to incorporate access and equity principles in their operations;
the skills of GTO staff. This standard aims to ensure that each member of GTO staff who is involved in the provision of group training services is skilled for the functions performed; and
ethical practice. This requires GTO boards, management and staff to behave ethically in the provision of group training services.
The National Standards are reviewed at regular intervals.
The role of GTOs has become more complex with the introduction of government programs, monitored compliance, increased accountability, policy and procedures.
In March 2016 GTAV launched a new trading name – Apprenticeship Employment Network.
We believe the new name will provide a stronger connection with the wider community, as apprenticeship employment is what our members are great at.
Over the past 30 Years our members have supported over 150,000 young people into an apprenticeship or traineeship across Victoria in a wide range of industry sectors.
In February 2016 the Victorian Government announced it is committed to providing $9.3million in funding over the next 3 years to support Victorian group training organisations employ apprentices and trainees.
Currently our not-for-profit network employs over 7500 apprentices and trainees each year in all industry sectors with a heavy focus on traditional trade areas. We work with local communities and employers to match young people with meaningful work.
Our members provide a safety net and flexibility for both the apprentice and host employer over the period of their training.


There's no feeling quite like hitting the road and getting out of town. Whatever flavor you may like when it comes to going off the beaten track with your rugged SUV. Let it be desert off-roading, a weekend ski getaway, heading deep into the forest to camp and stargaze around the fire and no matter whatever you choose to do, it helps you take a break from the mundane and you're in for a treat and provides memories that last a lifetime.
These journey can be extraordinary and it should be done in the right vehicle, but driving off-road without fully understanding how to approach different conditions can be intimidating – and even dangerous. So here are some tips to help you get the most out of your journey and take on the world which is full of difficulties the moment you leave the paved roads. Ford is kind enough to give you tips and tricks to maneuver the SUV in any given terrain since they developed the new and extremely potent Endeavor.
Feel the Sand Between Your, Tires!
When driving in deep sand it's important to maintain momentum and keep engine RPMs high. If you don't, you run the risk of sinking. Sand mode on the Endeavour's Terrain Management System helps avoid this in a few ways: For example, upshifting later and downshifting earlier so the engine RPMs remain high, reducing traction control intervention to allow your wheels to keep spinning; and dramatically increasing the sensitivity of the throttle so that small foot inputs make greater response. All this helps keep you moving smoothly through the dunes.
When heading through extreme terrain with deep mud, you want to avoid wheel slippage and keep momentum to avoid getting stuck. On slippery surfaces like mud and melting snow, it's vital to keep the vehicle under complete control to avoid breaking traction. Not only do the Endeavour's Snow, Mud, and Grass mode dull throttle inputs, upshift earlier and downshift later to help keep the engine from revving too high, but it can also be used in conjunction with the Electronic Locking Rear Differential, which can lock the rear axle when necessary. The Endeavour's Torque on Demand system ensures torque is sent to the wheels that still have traction, so you can be confident you will keep moving forward, even in the slipperiest of situations.
The Endeavour's Active Noise Cancelling comes into play and can make city driving quieter and more comfortable. However, once you're in the wild remember to put your windows down and enjoy the sounds of nature. Let it be a top cold wind of the mountains or the burbling of a roiling river. You can also do this while taking advantage of the Endeavour's best-in-class 800mm water wading – is entirely up to you.
It's wise to know your vehicle's dimensions, capabilities and most importantly, its ground clearance. and once you are sure of these three elements and then take the SUV or the Endeavour for instance, the brawny SUV has 225mm of ground clearance will give you the confidence you need to tackle the toughest off-road environments with ease.
Negotiating tough slopes can be a task. However, hold the Endeavour's steering wheel and experience the control of hill descent feature. HDC (The synonym usually used) uses the brake system to take you downhill at a safe & steady pace. The system essentially takes care of the optimum acceleration and braking required on slopes. So you can take the shorter, steeper route down the hill with your foot off the pedals and let the SUV take control while you manage just the steering.
There are few better ways to end a day of tough off-roading after escaping the city. The Endeavour's panoramic moon roof covers the first and second rows, and provides a window to the stars. Covering an area larger than a 46-inch widescreen television, it's the ultimate HD display.

Florida's Accident Report Privilege
whislerlawfirm2022-06-15T08:28:31+00:00March 15th, 2022|Personal Injury|
When you are involved in a car accident in the state of Florida, if the crash can be considered very minor and no one is hurt, you are not required to call the police. But if the crash is more severe and even minor injuries occur, by law, someone involved in the crash is required to call the police to the scene. The best rule of thumb to follow, however, is to always call the police after a car accident occurs, no matter how small it may seem.
Law enforcement can be helpful on an accident scene for many reasons: They can arrange for ambulances to help the injured, collect evidence, statements, and pictures, and can speak with the people directly involved in the crash. However, there's an interesting caveat in Florida law that then determines what is legally done with an officer's accident report, and it could affect how your subsequent claim or lawsuit against the responsible party plays out. It's called Accident Report Privilege.
What is the Florida Accident Report Privilege?
Florida statutes require that the driver of any vehicle involved in a crash give their name, address, and car registration number to a reporting officer. They must also show their driver's license to the officer if asked. During the process of sharing this information with a law enforcement member, it is also likely that the person involved in the crash will be asked what led to the accident occurring; to give a statement to the officer. While giving such a statement isn't legally required immediately following an accident, the state of Florida created the Accident Report Privilege in an effort to encourage people to be as truthful as possible to the police officer investigating the crash. It also helps to ensure that complying to do so does not infringe upon a person's constitutional Fifth Amendment protections.
The main purpose of the Fifth Amendment is to make it so that people are protected against self-incrimination. It's for this reason that defendants in trial cases aren't required to take the stand and answer questions about their alleged crime. To follow this suit, Accident Report Privilege makes it so that any crash report or statement gathered by a police officer at the scene cannot be used as evidence in any trial. This means that statements made during the crash investigation are not admissible in court proceedings.
In general, however, Accident Report Privilege does not prohibit an officer's testimony from including observations about the defendant's appearance, demeanor, behavior, or the speculation of use of alcohol and/or drugs. It also does not pertain to people who were witnesses to the accident but were not directly involved with the accident.
How Does Accident Report Privilege Affect Victims?
As the victim of a car accident in which you believe the person at-fault behaved negligently, what does Florida Accident Report Privilege mean for you and the case you're attempting to make? In essence, it means you need a great car accident lawyer to help you win your case.
With the existence of Accident Report Privilege, a trial lawyer must be able to help you prove how your car accident occurred without directly using the information in a police officer's accident report. A lawyer may be made aware of what's in the report, but they will not be able to present that report as evidence in court. Instead, they must obtain witness statements, photographic evidence, other physical evidence, and work with you and your statements directly in order to build a successful, presentable case.
Adversely, this also means that you have similar protections in court if the defendant's lawyers attempt to place any or all blame for the accident on your behavior. Legally, opposing counsel cannot use the police report detailing your statement to the officer as evidence to support their own case. The burden is on them to find a way to defend their client otherwise.
If you have the right car accident and personal injury attorney on your side, then the reality is, the Florida Accident Report Privilege really shouldn't be one of your first concerns. That's because the right attorney will have the experience and means to build your case the way the law requires of them: using sound knowledge of the law, good investigative skills, the right connections with experts, and of course, an understanding of what you went through and how your life has been affected. They shouldn't need a police report to tell them everything about your case—instead, they should have every confidence in their abilities to gather that information themselves.
Can Accident Report Privilege be Denied?
Under "normal" circumstances, any statements or admissions of guilt made by someone involved in a motor vehicle accident in Florida may not be used as evidence in subsequent hearings or trials. But there are cases in which circumstances stray from "normal," and this rule may change. It's important to be aware of such cases should they happen during an accident you're involved in.
If the vehicle and driver that caused the accident behave in an unlawful way immediately following the accident, a judge may rule that they lose some or all of their Accident Report Privilege. For example, if the driver flees the scene of the accident, and later gives a statement confessing doing so to an officer. There are some cases in which other direct statements made to the officer can also be admissible in court. For example, if the driver in question confesses to the officer that they fell asleep at the wheel, a judge may deem this necessary evidence to present in court, because it may not be provable otherwise. Exceptions to the privilege do exist, but they are determined on a case-by-case basis and decided upon by the judge presiding over the case. The right lawyer will know when to bring such possible circumstances up to the judge. They'll also know how to properly build your case even with Accident Report Privilege in place.

My name is Gabrielle Bautista and I'm a student at the University of North Florida. I am currently majoring in Mass Communications with a concentration in Public Relations and a minor in Sociology. With a background in art, filmmaking, and writing, my passion has always been in creative expression. In recent years, as I've become more aware of the troubled world we live in, the passion I had in me transformed into a desire to take action against injustice. I hope to be able to combine my skills and my desire to create change in order to inspire empowerment in others.
Why are you involved in LGBT activism?
My involvement in LGBT activism is rooted in the love I have for the community. Because of this, I cannot stand to see the people I care about mistreated for any reason that they cannot control. This especially goes for the LGBT children who are even more vulnerable to the harms of discrimination. I want to see my community reject intolerance and show to others that we welcome people of all identities and experiences.
Interning with Equality Florida as a new Media Intern was exactly the kind of work I was looking for in order to put my skills and desire for working in activism to use. I'm looking forward to learning more about working in the modern-day media field, making great connections, and contributing to LGBT equality in our community.
Finishing up my education and obtaining my Bachelor's is my main focus at the moment. When looking at the bigger picture, I hope to be working in non-profit for organizations that uplift the marginalized in our community. Personally, I want to utilize media to reach larger audiences because I believe accessibility plays an important role in the path to empowerment and social justice.

Lawmaker's new proposal would hit feds with charges
By Bob Unruh
The state of Montana, which came up with the idea that the guns made, sold and kept inside its borders simply are exempt from federal regulations and made that its law, now is considering a new weapon that could be used to cancel much of the authority of federal agents over its residents.
A new legislative proposal would declare that the state's local county sheriffs are the pre-eminent law enforcement authority in their jurisdictions, and federal agents such as those working for the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and others, would be required to get permission from them before they could take any action.
Get a copy of the nation's rulebook and find out what it really says: "The Constitution of the United States"
The proposal, Senate Bill 114, is called "An act regulating arrests, searches, and seizures by federal employees; providing that federal employees must obtain the county sheriff's permission to arrest, search, and seize; providing exceptions; providing for prosecution of federal employees violating this act; rejecting federal laws purporting to give federal employees the authority of a county sheriff in this state; and providing an immediate effective date."
Inside that mouthful of provisions is a requirement that federal agents work through and get permission from sheriffs before taking any action to arrest anyone, seize any object or search anywhere. And it includes a promise of consequences if that is not followed:
"An arrest, search, or seizure or attempted arrest, search, or seizure in violation of [section 2] is unlawful, and the persons involved must be prosecuted by the county attorney for kidnapping if an arrest or attempted arrest occurred, for trespass if a search or attempted search occurred, for theft if a seizure or attempted seizure occurred, and for any applicable homicide offense if loss of life occurred. The persons involved must also be charged with any other applicable criminal offense in Title 45," the bill explains.
It's been introduced by state Sen. Greg W. Hinkle, who is from Thompson Falls and represents the state's District 7.
It's been developed with the help of the same people who brought up the plan that Montana can, under the U.S. Constitution, exempt from federal regulation guns that are not in "interstate" commerce.
That plan caught on so well there already are seven other states that have adopted similar laws, and at least three more states, Kentucky, South Carolina and Texas, already have bills pending for this legislation session. Of course it's being challenged in federal court, with a review pending now before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. But supporters say they ultimately want a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court itself.
One of the proponents of the new regulation for federal agents is Gary Marbut, of the Montana Shooting Sports Association. He calls the idea the "sheriffs first" legislation.
At a website called Pro-gun leaders.org, which is run by Marbut, there's an explanation of the plan.
"This 'Sheriffs First' bill would make it a state crime for a federal officer to arrest, search, or seize in the state (Montana in this example) without first getting the advanced, written permission of the elected county sheriff of the county in which the event is to take place. Locally elected sheriffs are accountable to the people and are supposed to be the chief law enforcement officer of the county, bar none. This bill puts teeth into the expectation that federal agents must operate with the approval of the sheriff, or not at all. It also gives the local sheriff tools necessary to protect the people of his county, and their constitutional rights. There are exceptions in the legislation for 'hot pursuit,' U.S. customs and border patrol, corrupt sheriffs, and more."
RELATED: Voters to Congress: We're not buying it
Officials with the National Sheriffs Association told WND they were unfamiliar with the plan, nor was it being tracked by the National Conference of State Legislatures yet.
But that was the same way Montana's Firearms Freedom Act got started, and it now is law in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, Utah, Arizona, Alaska and Tennessee. Another 20 states considered their own plans last year but they were not adopted immediately. According to Marbut and the Tenth Amendment Center, South Carolina, Texas and Kentucky are the first states to have begun work on their plans for this session already.
There have been some interesting modifications as that concept has been studied by other states. When Wyoming adopted its Firearms Freedom Act, state lawmakers created a penalty of up to two years in prison and $2,000 in fines for any agent of the U.S. who "enforces or attempts to enforce" federal gun rules on a "personal firearm" in the state.
Marbut said Montana's new proposal about sheriffs simply takes that idea and expands it to protect the rights of the state's residents.
The law states its purposes are to ensure maximum cooperation between federal and local law enforcement, ensure that federal agents get the best local knowledge, and "to prevent misadventure affecting Montana citizens and their rights that results from lack of cooperation or communication between federal employees operating in Montana and local law enforcement."
"A federal employee who is not designated by Montana law as a Montana peace officer may not make an arrest, search, or seizure in this state without the written permission of the sheriff or designee of the sheriff of the county in which the arrest, search, or seizure will occur," the proposal states.
It provides exceptions for arrests that are on federal land or when a sheriff or associate is under investigation, requiring then that the federal agent obtain permission from the state attorney general.
The law also simply provides that, "pursuant to the 10th Amendment to the United States Constitution," any law "purporting to give federal employees the authority of a county sheriff in this state is not recognized by and is specifically rejected by this state and is declared to be invalid in this state."
Marbut explained the process would be simple. A federal agent, for example, asking to arrest someone dealing drugs should get this response from the local sheriff: "Good work. Here's my written permission."
But he said a federal agent wanting to raid someone for making Montana firearms could be met with the sheriff's warning that, "That's protected activity under state law."
Marbut said the law doesn't just cover firearms, but virtually every interaction between federal agents and the state's population.
It's just the latest wave of challenges to the authority of the federal government, which has expanded over the years to even, in the case of Obamacare, contend that not purchasing anything is a form of interstate commerce that can be regulated by Congress.
For example, in Virginia, lawmakers are considering a type of Firearms Freedom Act, only it would cover all products and services in the state, not just firearms.
Then there is Texas, where lawmakers are looking over a proposal that would specify a penalty of jail time for anyone caught trying to enforce the Obamacare provisions in that state.
The battle also continues over the Firearms Freedom Act concept, with the appeal process under way over the law that would "test the power of Congress to regulate everything without limits under the narrow power given to Congress in the Constitution to 'regulate commerce … among the states.'"
Supporters of Montana's law are turning up the heat on the federal government in their fight to push Congress back into the box set up by the "enumerated powers" the U.S. Constitution allocates to Washington.

Oolite is a space sim game, inspired by Elite, powered by Objective-C and OpenGL, and designed as a small game that is easy for users to pick up, modify and expand upon. Almost every aspect of the game can be changed by using simple, free graphics packages and text-editors.
The purpose of the game is to fly from planet to planet, buying and selling goods, shooting pirates or committing acts of piracy.
3 years ago 4 Great game, update please !!
3 years ago 5 Very good faithful remake of Elite, and with mods, even surpasses the original! Can get repetative after a while, but excellent for short bursts.
4 years ago 5 Absolutely marvellous because, for one thing, of endless user-written expansion packs and a very friendly bulletin board. If installed via web, download file needs to be have its last suffix removed and then, once the installer file is extracted from the archive, it needs to be run in a terminal/as a script.
6 years ago 5 The newest version can always be found at oolite.org. One of the best open-source games ever!
7 years ago 5 Classic. Loved Elite on my C64. Oolite continues on.
7 years ago 5 If you loved Elite, this is for you. Trade, bounty hunt, salvage or pirate your way to the rank of Elite in this open ended game in which the word "Harmless" is the greatest insult! But, please devs can we have the latest version in the repositories as it has come on a long long way?
8 years ago 5 I'm completely addicted. Highly playable and customizable, but 1.65 is out-of-date.
8 years ago 5 I am very glad to meet this beautiful game on linux!
8 years ago 5 Old. But classic, playable, open-ended and addictive. They don't make 'em like this anymore!

Started out in 1998 in Oxford UK, Trance Communications have been seen to release some of the most prolific and superb tracks in small quantities, including the huge Pulser - Cloudwalking, Insigma's "Open Your Eyes", and Rapid Eye's Alderaan.
Heavy support has been seen from Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, DJ Tiesto, and the Gatecrasher crew as ATCR tracks have appeared on almost all trance compilations of decent quality over the past 4 years.
As we near the midpoint of 2003, a number of releases are lined up, including the 2003 releases of some quality tracks such as ATCR's In Demand and Unreleased EPs, featuring some fine tracks which we have always wanted but never had a chance to get, and also some quality material from Insigma and others!

De Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk is de parochiekerk van de tot de West-Vlaamse gemeente Staden behorende plaats Oostnieuwkerke, gelegen aan het Dorpsplein.

Geschiedenis
De eerste melding van een kerkgebouw te Oostnieuwkerke is van 1093, toen de bisschop van Doornik de rechten van het altare de Rollers cum appendicia sua de Nieukerka aan de Augustijnenabdij Zonnebeke schonk. Omstreeks 1200 werd een romaans kerkje gebouwd, dat zich in de loop der eeuwen ontwikkelde tot een kleine kruiskerk met vieringtorentje en halfronde apsis. In 1221 werd Oostnieuwkerke vermeld als een zelfstandige parochie. Het patronaatsrecht bleef in handen van voornoemde abdij.

De kerk, vanouds aan Sint-Blasius gewijd, had te lijden van de godsdiensttwisten, en werd daarna hersteld. Mogelijk was 1687 een jaar waarin de herstelwerkzaamheden voltooid waren. Sindsdien werd de kerk aan Sint-Brigida gewijd, maar vanaf 1801 aan Onze-Lieve-Vrouw.

In 1897 werd de kerk vervangen door een bakstenen neogotische hallenkerk naar ontwerp van Jules Soete. De driebeukige hallenkerk kreeg een achtkante vieringtoren op vierkante basis, aansluitend bij de regionale bouwkundige traditie.

Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd de kerk door de Duitsers als veldhospitaal gebruikt. Tijdens het slotoffensief begin oktober 1918 met aansluitend de bevrijding op 3 oktober, werd het dak van de kerk en de torenspits zwaar beschadigd door Britse granaatbeschietingen.

In 1919 werd de kerk opnieuw in gebruik genomen en van 1920-1921 werden dak en torenspits definitief hersteld.

Gebouw
Het betreft een driebeukige hallenkerk met breder middenschip, een achthoekige vieringtoren met vierkante basis, een rond traptorentje in de oksel van het transept. Het geheel werd uitgevoerd in rode bakstenen.

Het kerkmeubilair is grotendeels 20e-eeuws. Enkele 18e-eeuwse grafstenen, ingemetseld in het transept, getuigen van de monniken die hier als pastoor werkzaam waren.

In de voormalige calvariekapel bevindt zich een monument dat de gebeurtenissen tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog gedenkt.
