Spot is one of the most popular types of fish to catch along the coast, namely because anglers can reel them in all year long. Though they are most common in the late summer and early fall, pier fishermen have been known to land spot throughout the fishing season. Named for the distinctive "spot" located above the base of the fin, these fish are typically between 6"-10", though in the fall, a larger version called the Yellow Belly, which weighs up to a pound, can be found.
Spots usually travel in schools, so if a fisherman catches one spot, (or, more often than not, multiple spots the same line), it won't be long before lots of spots are being reeled in from the same school. To catch one (or more), try using a two hook bottom rig, with hooks ranging from a size 6 to a size 2, due to the spots' small mouths. For bait, bloodworms tend to work best, and only a small portion is needed.
Sea Mullet
Sea mullet are common in Coastal North Carolina, and can be found in all sorts of saltwater environments, from the sound, to saltwater canals, to the Atlantic Ocean. Sea mullet swarm in shallow areas, and are very easy to catch while pier or surf fishing. You may also hear them called by their other names, kingfish or whiting. The weight of the fish can vary from .75 to 11.5 pounds. Sea mullets make an appearance in early spring, and stick around for the remainder of the fishing season. Because they feed of the material on the sandy bottom, good way to lure them is to sift through the muddy water, which separates and lifts up the food at the bottom.
Bloodworms work best as bait, although sea mullet can be caught off of shrimp and cut bait as well. Use a two hook bottom rig, with a medium weight rod and reel for your best chances of landing them.
Another fish that can be caught during the entire fishing season is the croaker, also called a hardhead. Like the Sea Mullet, the croacker is also a bottom feeder, typically utilizing the small shellfish that crawl along the bottom as their main source of sustenance. Weighing between .5 and 11.5 pounds, croakers start showing up in the spring when the water starts to slowly warm up.
You can use a variety of bait to catch a croaker, and because croakers swim in schools, it's easy to catch multiple croakers at one - sometimes with two or more on the same rig. You can also scoop them up in a fishing net off of a boat. It is recommended that you use #1 or #1/0 hooks attached to a two hook bottom rig, and medium weight tackle works well to catch them as it's the best type of tackle to use for any bottom feeding species of fish.
One of the tastiest catches, the flounder, makes its appearance in the cooler fall months of October and November. The flounder weighs between 1 and 3 pounds, and hides itself in the sandy bottom of the ocean floor, where it feeds on any attractive food that might float by. The best way to catch a flounder is to very slowly drag your bait across the ocean floor, in hopes that the flounder recognizes the bait as food. The flounder will then start to nibble and it's important to wait until tis eaten the bulk of the bait before setting your hook to ensure a catch.
A rig for catching flounder has a long shank hook that varies in size, and can range from #2 to 3/0. It's recommended to place a torpedo float ahead of the hook, with a light sinker on the rod to feel the initial bite of the flounder when it discovers the bait. As for the bait itself, you can use minnows, squid, mullet, shark, and even the white belly section of a flounder to catch one.
Gray Trout
Like a number of North Carolina's most popular species, gray trout are common throughout the fishing season. The best time to catch them, however, is in the late spring when the water temperatures begin to increase. Many fishermen refer to this species as a "weakfish" because of their delicate mouths - a hook can easily tear through the mouth of a gray trout, and as such, many fishermen find that a small net is the best way to catch them. Gray trout typically weigh just between 1 and 3 pounds, but trout as large as 10 pounds have been caught off the coast of North Carolina.
The best way to catch gray trout is with two hook bottom rigs, with squid or shrimp as bait attached. Many fishermen find that they have the best luck when they are boat fishing, as casting a lure out into the ocean can result in a lot of grey trout. Using a lantern to place near the water's surface is a handy trick as well, as the fish are drawn to light. In terms of lures, a pink and white Sting Ray stub seems to work well.
Most fishermen use two hook bottom rigs to catch the trout. Usually shrimp or squid are attached to these types of hooks.
Speckled Trout
The speckled trout, also commonly referred to as the spotted weakfish or spotted trout, is widely considered one of the best tasting and most attractive fish caught along the North Carolina Coast. The speckled trout can be best caught while fishing from a boat, during the fall months, especially October. The trout usually weighs just between 1 and 2 pounds. Many fishermen like to use leadhead lures with plastic tails, and try to catch them just as the tides are changing, and the ocean water is nice and clear. Early birds have the best luck, and fishermen who go out in the morning have the best chance at reeling one in.
The Florida Pompano shows up along North Carolina in the late summer, a welcome arrival as the pompano is considered a very tasty catch. Ranging between 1 and 2.5 pounds, they can best be caught by surf fishermen, or pier fishermen who stick to the waters close to the shore. The feed on small crustaceans called sand fleas, which are common in the wet sand along the beach, and fishermen usually collect and use sand fleas as bait on shiny golden hooks that are between #4 and 1/0, on a two-hook bottom rig.
A simple walk to the beach with a fishing rod may result in a successful pompano catch, since these fish like to stay close to the beach, and sand fleas can be caught in the summer and fall by digging into the sand at the ocean wash.
The Spanish Mackerel is a distinctive fish with golden and rusty spots that can be found along the coast from June until late October, and typically weighs in at about 2 pounds or so.
Clear ocean water presents the best conditions for landing mackerel, and these species usually travel in schools as they search for and munch on minnows and small silversides. They have excellent vision, and will pursue and attack these shiny fish with gusto. Because of this, a fisherman has the best luck with a small shiny lure to attract the mackerels' attention.
The bluefish is a popular species for fishermen, mainly because their extreme aggression makes them a challenging catch. Caution should be used when handling the bluefish, as their mouths are filled with tiny, but razor sharp teeth. There are actually three categories of this fish, which varies by size. Smaller bluefish, at a pound or less, are called Smaller blues. Bluefish that weigh in between 1 and 3 pounds are called Tailor blues, and the largest species, the Big Blues, can weigh anywhere from 8 to a whopping 20 pounds. These fish create a frenzy for bluefish anglers, and they usually show up for a brief period during April and / or May.
Fishermen can use a wide variety of bait for bluefish, depending on the size. For the smaller Snapper Blues and Tailor Blues, artificial bait can work nicely, and when the Big Blues arrive, freshly cut mullet tends to reel them in.
The Striped bass is making a comeback, and is appearing more and more frequently along coastal Carolina waters, thanks in part to Atlantic States Marine Fisheries regulations. The population has swelled, and anglers couldn't be happier.
The striped bass is a tasty fish that migrates along the North Carolina coast during the Spring and Fall, and can sometimes even be spotted in the wintertime. The big striped bass start to show up in large numbers when the temperatures start to drop, in late fall or early winter. The smaller varieties reach 18 inches long and can weigh in at 4 pounds, and the older ones can clock in at 15 pounds and 32 inches long.
For bait, live eels are a popular option to reel in these large and popular fish.
Red Drum are one of the most popular catches in North Carolina, and it's easy to see why. Reeling in a drum can be a thrilling experience for any angler, as while a puppy drum may clock in at around 10 pounds, the larger varieties can weigh between 30 and 60 pounds.
Big drum can also be reeled in from the shore, and are spotted along the beach during the early spring months of April or May. Many anglers love to visit the waters surrounding the Outer Banks, especially Hatteras Island, as many record catches have been recorded in these areas.
To find a good spot, Fishermen typically look for "sloughs," or holes in the sand. These are areas where drum look for fish and shellfish to feed on. The best time of day to fish for drum is during the early evening after the holes have been located in the daylight.
You will need to use heavy duty tackle when fishing for drum. A 9 to 11 foot rod is needed to cast several ounces of lead and bait. Anglers also should use large spinning reels to catch the fish. Fresh cut mullet steaks make excellent bait for red drum, as the drum is attracted by the smell of blood.
King Mackerel
King mackerel can usually be caught by offshore fishermen in the peak fall season of late September and October. They typically weigh between 15 and 20 pounds, but king mackerel as large as 40 pounds have been reported.
You will most likely need to rods to catch a king mackerel. One has a sinker that is needed to hold the bait rig in the fishing area, and the second rod has live bait, like fresh small spot, attached.
Dirng the summer months, anglers up and down the North Carolina coast can reel in Cobia. Weighing at an average of 30 pounds, lucky fishermen consider cobia a prize catch, as a cobia can reach as large as 40 or even 60 pounds.
To catch one, try using a rig with live bait attacheded, or throw a jogging lure to a cobia that has been spotted in the water. Large reels will be needed due to both the size, and the fact that cobia tend to fight as they are being pulled in.

The iTRIO Trio was founded on 1 October 2015 in Copenhagen.
Its members are Helga Kristbjörg Guðmundsdóttir, Jón Thorsteinn Reynisson, Jiona Ásgeir Ásgeirsson. They are all students of Professor Geir Draugsvoll at the Royal Danish Music Academy.
The trio has performed both classical concerts and other occasions, even in a metro station. They also did a Master held by accordion Professor Matti Rantanen.
Their repertoire ranges from classical to contemporary music, from rhythm to minimalist, from traditional to tango.
Their intent is to maintain a diverse repertoire of works from different periods and styles.
Their goals, then, are many. They want to open their country, Iceland, in the eyes of the public, thereby disclosing the potential of the accordion.
To achieve this goal, performing in numerous concerts with a new kind, not widespread in Iceland, the exhibition in Trio accordion and why you often work closely with local songwriters.

New Way of Thinking About Our Climate Crisis: The Rational-Comprehensive Approach
Author: Smith, Joseph Wayne, Sandro Positano, Nigel Stocks, and David Shearman
ISBN: 0-7734-4808-X
This work provides an examination of the scientific evidence of rapid climate change, offering suggestions on combating the crisis to policy makers. The authors show how our thinking must be transformed in order to avert catastrophe.
"[This work] will become the benchmark reference for the report card of the world's state of health and survival prospects. The authors have done an outstanding intellectual job in marshalling the evidence and arguments, as well as an enormous public service in challenging the climate change skeptics to rebut them. They have also thrown down the gauntlet to the universities, academics and public intellectuals to face up to the challenge of reorienting our civic and economic values towards a sustainable world – and there isn't much time for us to do it in." – Prof. Kevin White, Australian National University
". . .will open up a spirited and original argument . . . exemplifies the desirability among the intelligentsia to propose the unconventional and perhaps unwelcome." – Prof. Brian Moss, University of Liverpool
"A focus of the work is indeed a plea for the practical rather than the purely theoretical. Too often there is a narrow concentration on the presumed value of generating "solutions" rather than a description of how these solutions might be enacted." – Prof. Malcolm J. Bond, Flinders University

Powering development?
Powering development, stabilisation and conservation?
The impact of electricity roll-out by Virunga Alliance in Eastern Congo
We measure the impact of electricity provision on economic development, security and conservation. Our case study focuses on rural and urban communities nearby Virunga National Park, in North-Kivu, DR Congo. Impoverished by two decades of armed conflict, the communities complement their livelihoods with the park's resources to make ends meet. These resources are also illicitly exploited by at least eight armed groups that have their hideouts within the park's boundaries. The electricity rollout is implemented by Virunga Alliance, a public-private partnership that seeks to bring about security and conservation through development. According to Virunga's theory of change, electrification will spur development, which will in turn reduce people's reliance on the park's resources as well as their support for, and participation in, rebel groups. The theory of change finds support in the literature, but needs further testing.
This research is coordinated by Elie Lunanga, Nik Stoop and Marijke Verpoorten.
The intervention
Virunga Alliance is rolling out 100 megawatts (MW) electricityover a multi-year period. Early 2019, about 10% of the targeted 100 MW was being generated by two hydropower plants: Mutwanga I and Matebe, located in the territories of Beni and Rutshuru (see the map below). Three plants with a combined capacity of 40MWbecome operational in the course of 2019-2021. With the additional 40MW, Virunga Alliance aims to reach an estimated 250,000 rural inhabitants and 500,000 urban inhabitants. In the longer term, four additional hydropower plants with a combined capacity of about 50MWare scheduled to be constructed, bringing the total estimated number of inhabitants in the rural and urban catchment area to 500,000 and 1 million, respectively.
Notes: The map on the top left shows the outline of DR Congo, with the province of North-Kivu indicated in orange. The map on the bottom left zooms in on North-Kivu, with the Virunga national park indicated in green. The map on the right indicates the four study areas, and the approximate location of the existing and future power plants, as well as their capacity.
The impact evaluation
To learn about the causal effect of electrification, we designed an impact evaluation that exploits the gradual rollout of electricity, in combination with a difference-in-differences estimation. Concretely, the impact will be measured by comparing time trends in socio-economic development, conservation and security across treatment and control localities. The treatment localities will be connected inthe period between January 2019 and December 2021; the control localities only at a later stage. The time trends will be measured be means of a pre-treatment and post-treatment census and survey.
Research progress
The first wave of field work in Beni territory was conducted in the period February-May 2019, with the help of a team of 14 locally recruited enumerators. The census registered 6,756 households, 543 firms and 98 institutions (mainly schools, health centers and churches). We further conducted detailed surveys with a randomized subsample of 734 households and 182 businesses.
In Goma, the first wave took place in the period August-September 2019. The census counted 29,575 household 1,140 firms and 270 institutions. The below maps show the location of the included households (in green), businesses (in red) and institutions (in yellow). We further conducted surveys with a randomized subsample of 600 households and 200 businesses.
The baseline census and surveys for Lubero and Rutshuru are planned for the summer of 2020.

Israel's president reportedly says outpost law makes country look like 'apartheid state'
Israeli President Reuven Rivlin criticized the regularization law that retroactively legalizes settler homes build on private Palestinian land. (Bryan Pace-Pool/Getty Images)
JERUSALEM (JTA) – Israeli President Reuven Rivlin reportedly said that a new law that retroactively legalizes settler homes built on private Palestinian land could make Israel look like an "apartheid state."
Rivlin made the comments during a closed door meeting last week, two days after the "regulation law" was passed by the Knesset, the Israeli daily Haaretz reported Sunday.
"Israel has adopted international law. It does not allow a country acting according to it to apply and enforce its laws on territories that are not under its sovereignty. If it does so, it is a legal cacophony. It will cause Israel to be seen as an apartheid state, which it is not," Rivlin said, according to Haaretz.
"There is no question here. The government of Israel is simply not allowed to apply the laws of the Knesset on territories that are not under the state's sovereignty."
The regulation law, which the Knesset passed in a raucous late-night session on Feb. 6, allows the state to seize private Palestinian land on which settlements or outposts were built, as long as the settlers were not aware of the status of the land. In cases where the landowners are known, they are entitled to compensation.
The pro-settlement Jewish Home party first put forward the regulation law in an effort to save the West Bank outpost of Amona, built without government authorization on private Palestinian land, from a High Court-ordered demolition. But the clause that would have circumvented the court ruling was nixed following coalition infighting, and Amona was evacuated and demolished earlier this month.
Even without the Amona clause, Israel's attorney general, Avichai Mandelblit, has said he would not defend the law before the Supreme Court. It was the first time that an Israeli attorney general has made such a refusal, legal experts have told JTA.

MORE than nine hours since they scored a goal and now firmly in the bottom three means time is running out fast for Reading.
Nothing less than a resounding win at Derby next Sunday – and hope that other results go for them as well – will save their Premier League skins.
And if this match is anything to go by that looks a pretty tall order.
The truth of the matter is that they looked like a Championship side yesterday and if Spurs hadn't been in a merciful mood they would have been looking at a score more akin to the cricket season we are about to get into.
It was a bit like that old ad where they used to ask you if you could tell the difference between a certain brand of margarine and butter.
And Spurs – or Steed Malbranque and Robbie Keane to be precise – duly went like a knife through the margarine in little more than quarter of an hour.
Darren Bent, presumably preparing to don the crown the absent Dimitar Berbatov will leave behind in the summer, showed himself to be a more than adequate successor with a run that left Reading defenders in his wake, before slipping Keane through. The inspirational Irishman's finish was a delight.
To be honest, Spurs would have been out of sight with less than half an hour on the clock if Marcus Hahnemann hadn't saved superbly to deny Keane a second and referee Howard Webb hadn't dubiously ruled a Malbranque 'goal' offside.
The ease with which fluent Spurs cut through Reading did not augur well. No wonder Steve Coppell looked as if he'd lost a pound and found a penny – and so did his players. They were being given a footballing lesson.
A worried Coppell admitted: "It's s**t or bust now.
"We have lost the habit of winning football matches and there is now a confidence factor. But our mentality has to be to win at Derby next week.
Coppell, whose side could win at Derby next week but still go down, admitted that Spurs' quality and passing left his players "trying to plat spaghetti" at times.
As half-time approached, the natives started to get restless as man-of-the-match Malbranque and Keane threatened to put the knife in.
Hardly surprising, then, that half-time was greeted with a huge sigh of relief. It could – and should – have been a lot worse. Keane carried on where he left off after the interval as well and goodness only knows how Malbranque failed to find the net with a chance his skipper set up for him.
But as long as Spurs failed to stamp their superiority the threat of a Reading break remained. And but for a desperate lunge by Michael Dawson to deflect an Andre Bikey effort, Coppell and Co could have been celebrating the unlikeliest of equalisers.
Bent hit the post with Hahnemann beaten but to be fair, Reading did start to peg back an indolent Spurs whose liking for 1-1 draws – that's how their previous four matches finished – was beginning to look as if it was getting the better of them.
And only a superb one-handed save by Radek Cerny from Leroy Rosenior prevented Spurs leaving Berkshire with yolkon their faces as bright as the colour of their yellow shirts. A win is a win, but Juande Ramos can't take this for much longer. His Spurs should have won by a mile and he will want to know why they didn't.
Coppell blamed himself for his side's predicament and cited his decision not to buy big last summer and in January as a major factor.


We have been exploring the types of plants, trees and leaves in our school grounds. We used a leaf App to locate the names, sketched and made leaf rubbings and through collage we showed the growth of a plant.

In our last blog we looked at why websites fail. Really it's not that difficult is it! But you'd be surprised how many websites we come across that simply don't work for the business and deliver a return on investment.
Your website is more than 'just a pretty face'. And as we have said before, it's not that difficult to create a 'good looking' website on a very small budget. Getting your website to attract and convert your visitors is key and requires digital strategy – and that comes from expert knowledge!
As a small business owner, you don't just need to generate a product or deliver a service; you need to sell it. Does your website sell, really sell?
So in this week's blog we'll look at how you can work with your web designer to ensure your site delivers for you. How do you know they are going to deliver more than just a 'pretty looking' website for you – one that delivers more leads, more conversions and more revenue?
Here are the crucial questions your designer should be asking you.
An obvious starting point yes? After all, your web designer needs to know exactly what your business does before they start working on your site. Getting a really good working knowledge and understanding of what you do, who you are, how long you've been in business etc will often help support the design, research and decision you make throughout the entire client/designer relationship.
Your designer also needs to understand who you do business with, but more about that later. Ensure your designer asks the right questions that give them a thorough understanding of your business – what works, what doesn't.
Your designer should be demonstrating knowledge of running a small business and not just knowledge of producing wonderful images. If they ask the right questions of you, you'll be able to have a solid business discussion, business owner to business owner. This will give you the confidence that they are going to produce more than a 'pretty website' and one that will deliver on your business objectives.
2. What's your primary goal for your website?
Again, an obvious question, after all, but you'd be surprised how many designers just accept work from businesses that don't understand what they want from their sites. If you don't know the answer to this how can you measure results? If your designer doesn't ask the question, how are you going to measure the ROI on your investment and again prevent just another 'pretty looking' website.
Every website should accomplish something, and it doesn't need to be the old cliché of 'making more money', as one of my mentors exclaimed one day. Make sure your web designer explores in depth what you want the site to do and make sure you're ready for these questions.
Don't be afraid to test their knowledge here too. Get them to suggest a few things your site should be delivering for you as a business owner. You'll test their business knowledge and a web designer who has this, is someone you can work with and trust to have your business objectives in mind when they produce their designs.
3. What makes your company extraordinary?
This question will make sure you don't get complacent about your online presence. It also shows you that the designer is exploring ways to ensure you stand out from the crowd, particularly against your competitors.
This can mean the difference between success and failure. Understanding your biggest point of difference and what makes you extraordinary will assist the designer and ensure they communicate it in their design.
Now they understand your business, your point of difference and what you want your site to achieve your web designer should be demonstrating more in depth research skills at this point. Their main focus should be on your competition.
Ensure they ask you who your competitors are and if they are really good they will encourage you to think outside the box and unearth the less obvious competitors. Knowing who your competitors are and their unique points of difference will ensure the designer produces a site that competes in the loud and overcrowded online space, guaranteeing your site will stand out and convert.
5. Who precisely are your customers and what are their pains?
So we touched on this earlier. This is one of the key components of a good website that delivers for your business and again guarantees it being more than a 'pretty face'!
Make sure their questioning digs deeper than just demographics. Again, this area of a designers questioning demonstrates their business knowledge and how much they are really going to help you in achieving your goals. Together you both need to articulate your customers/audiences pains, problems and fears. Only then can you both work on engaging your customers immediately they hit your site.
A strong performing website demonstrates, in the design, imagery and content, an understanding of your ideal customer's pain and how you, your products and/or your services will resolve it. As my mentor once said, "Everyone in business solves a problem of some sort. It's the web designers job to communicate that".
6. What features do you want your website to have?
This question will save you money, amongst other things! It will also ensure the relationship you have with your designer can be managed and that any misunderstandings are reduced to a bare minimum. Ensure your web designer clarifies and clarifies again.
This avoids any scope creep in the project and any hidden increase in costs for both of you. Make sure they get you to explain in detail things you have seen on other sites that you like or want your site to do and that they ask you for examples. This enables an honest discussion as to what can be achieved and what can't and guarantees everything you want will be clearly detailed in the brief and proposal.
7. What does a successful website look like for you?
This is really them asking you about how you will measure the return on investment (ROI) of your website. It demonstrates to you that they are keen to deliver a return and again are business orientated, rather than a designer that will produce a 'good-looking' site.
There are a number of ways you can measure success and a good web designer will explore these and your business goals thoroughly. Remember it's not just about making money, although we all like that. Your website is a tool to helping you achieve your business goals. Therefore success may include the number of new leads your website delivers, the number of sign ups to your blog/newsletter, the number of downloads of your lead magnet, number of sales or event simply the amount of website traffic.
Good questioning is vital for not only your business success but theirs too. If they can demonstrate a thorough understanding of business orientated questions then you can trust them to deliver a website that really performs as a tool to enable your business.
Finally, don't be surprised if they ask a cheeky question or two about when they can start! A good web designer that tries to 'close a sale' understands business and will certainly produce a site that is more than just a 'pretty face'.

We understand that as a small business owner, you don't just need to generate a product or deliver a service; you need to sell it. Does your website sell, really sell?

Mont-Saint-Hilaire ist eine Stadt im Südwesten der kanadischen Provinz Québec. Sie liegt in der Verwaltungsregion Montérégie, etwa 30 Kilometer östlich von Montreal. Mont-Saint-Hilaire gehört zur regionalen Grafschaftsgemeinde (municipalité régionale du comté) La Vallée-du-Richelieu, hat eine Fläche von 44,19 km² und zählt 18.585 Einwohner (Stand: 2016).

Geographie
Mont-Saint-Hilaire liegt in der Region Rive-Sud, am rechten Ufer des Rivière Richelieu. Dieser Nebenfluss des Sankt-Lorenz-Stroms bildet zugleich die westliche Stadtgrenze. Herausragendes topographisches Merkmal ist der 414 Meter hohe Mont Saint-Hilaire, der zu den Montérégie-Hügeln gehört. Er ragt fast 400 Meter aus der umliegenden Ebene heraus, bildet eine weitherum sichtbare Landmarke und ist ein Biosphärenreservat der UNESCO. Der Berg weist mehrere Gipfel auf, die um einen zentralen See, den Lac Hertel, gruppiert sind. Mont-Saint-Hilaire ist mit Belœil, McMasterville und Otterburn Park zu einer Agglomeration mit über fünfzigtausend Einwohnern zusammengewachsen.

Nachbargemeinden sind Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu im Norden, Sainte-Marie-Madeleine im Nordosten, Saint-Jean-Baptiste im Südosten, Saint-Mathias-sur-Richelieu im Süden, Otterburn Park im Südwesten, Belœil im Westen und Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu im Nordwesten.

Geschichte
Der Offizier Joseph-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville erhielt 1694 die Seigneurie Rouville zugesprochen, der erste Landwirt ließ sich jedoch erst 1731 nieder. Um 1745 entstand an der Bergflanke ein kleines Dorf, wo der im höher gelegenen Lac Hertel entspringende Bach mehrere Mühlen antrieb. Die meisten Kolonisten bevorzugten jedoch Grundstücke in Flussnähe, so dass die ursprüngliche Siedlung gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts aufgegeben wurde. Die Pfarrei Saint-Hilaire, benannt nach dem Heiligen Hilarius von Poitiers, wurde 1795 gegründet. Im Dezember 1848 nahm die St. Lawrence and Atlantic Railroad (spätere Grand Trunk Railway) die Eisenbahnlinie von Montreal nach Saint-Hyacinthe in Betrieb, das erste Teilstück der Bahnstrecke Montreal–Island Pond. Ein Jahr nach der Auflösung der Seigneurie folgte 1855 die Gründung der Gemeinde Mont-Saint-Hilaire. Diese erhielt 1941 eine direkte Straßenverbindung nach Montreal und 1963 den Stadtstatus. Seit 2000 ist die Stadt Mitglied des Zweckverbandes Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal.

Bevölkerung
Gemäß der Volkszählung 2011 zählte Mont-Saint-Hilaire 18.200 Einwohner, was einer Bevölkerungsdichte von 410,9 Einw./km² entspricht. 94,0 % der Bevölkerung gaben Französisch als Hauptsprache an, der Anteil des Englischen betrug 3,1 %. Als zweisprachig (Französisch und Englisch) bezeichneten sich 0,7 %, auf andere Sprachen und Mehrfachantworten entfielen 2,2 %. Ausschließlich Französisch sprachen 45,7 %. Im Jahr 2001 waren 90,1 % der Bevölkerung römisch-katholisch, 3,3 % protestantisch und 5,3 % konfessionslos.

Verkehr
Durch Mont-Saint-Hilaire führt in West-Ost-Richtung die Route 116 von Montreal nach Lévis, eine der wichtigsten überregionalen Hauptstraßen der Provinz. Die Autoroute 40, die Autobahn zwischen diesen beiden Städten, verläuft rund fünf Kilometer weiter nördlich. Diese beiden Verkehrsachsen kreuzt die Route 133 zwischen Sorel-Tracy und Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Mont-Saint-Hilaire ist Endstation einer exo-Vorortseisenbahnlinie nach Montreal. Darüber hinaus verbinden mehrere exo-Buslinien die Stadt mit den umliegenden Gemeinden, Montreal, Longueuil und Saint-Hyacinthe.

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, honey and cinnamon. As soon as it comes to a boil, stir in the couscous. Turn off the heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the apricots, raisins and almonds.


The Notary Event Of The Year Just Days Away In Chicago!
Conference 2010 takes off in Chicago, Illinois in just a few days, and the excitement has mounted from coast to coast — and internationally — due to the Conference's innovative new format and training programs, coupled with valuable networking opportunities, special events and the world class fun that awaits in The Windy City.
Mix in the best traditions of Conference, including programs offered by some of the most successful Notary entrepreneurs in the nation, presentations by prestigious business leaders such as our Opening Keynote Speaker, Mortgage Bankers Association Chairman Robert E. Story, and a truly amazing lineup of excursions and fun-filled events, and you have a Conference that will be talked about by Notaries for years to come.
Several exciting programs, events and attractions await this year's attendees, including the first-ever workshop for employers and business owners on best practices for Notary-employees; the innovative Interactive Learning Center; refreshed and redesigned workshops; and General Sessions featured each day focusing on vital aspects of the Notary office, presented by top NNA officials, legal experts and leading Notaries in their fields.
For the first time this year, the NNA is offering a program specifically designed to help Notary employers mitigate risk and compliance issues — the June 17 General Session "What Every Employer Needs To Know." Presented by attorney and law professor emeritus Michael Closen, the nation's leading legal scholar on notarization, the General Session shows how courts expect companies to train and hold Notary-employees to sound ethical practices, and that such training is essential even when not spelled out specifically in state law.
Another first for Notaries is this year's new Interactive Learning Center, a unique experience where Notaries participate in live puzzles and training scenarios focused on the fundamentals of their duties. The Interactive Learning Center will let Notaries take their book and classroom learning and apply them to real world situations.
And to add a bit of Americana flavor, a selection of contributed items from states across the country will be made available during a silent auction that will take place during Wednesday's Gala Banquet—and all proceeds from the auction will benefit the National Notary Foundation. Auction items include travel packages, gift baskets, luggage and autographed posters.

Senior coalition figures are in talks to include plans for a consultation on creating a second hand annuity market in the final Budget before the general election, the FT reports.
Last month, Money Marketing revealed how the Treasury had called in senior industry figures to discuss the possibility of allowing people who have already bought an annuity to sell the contracts on for cash.
But pension experts branded the concept "crazy" and wrote it off as electioneering.
In December, pensions minister Steve Webb said millions of people with annuities should not be excluded from the pension freedoms coming into force this April.
Webb has been keen to stress that he is not considering unwinding annuity contracts, but selling them on to institutional investors such as defined benefit pension funds and insurers.
Partnership chief executive Steve Groves says his firm would be interested in buying annuities if the regulatory treatment was favourable.
I will concede that the idea has merits for a minority, but will be misunderstood by the majority. Either way if it is progress it needs significantly more consultation with interested parties and a longer run in period to iron out wrinkles in legislation, regulation and education than we have seen with pension freedoms and guidance.
Implement in haste, repent at leisure!
Can someone show me the price for an annuity sold on this second hand market that the vendor, Which?, Claims Management Companies, Relatives, the Financial Press etc etc wont believe was too low 10,15 or 20 years after the event?
I can see it now. Annuitant aged 75 gets £1,000 per year and sells it for £10,000. 11 years later he is still around and realises he is now out of pocket. Cue call to a CMC's that just so happened to text him suggesting he reconsider his annuity sale. Claim made to FOS, purchaser of annuity pilloried in the financial press as scamming vulnerable OAP's.
Any reason to suggest it wont end up like this?
@Nick Wardle – just what I was thinking. Since last year's Budget we've heard plenty about "rip-off annuities"; if this goes ahead, it will be "rip-off annuity repurchases". The public – and politicians – won't understand any sort of formula used to calculate the price, so will happily assume the worst.
Nobody asked for this and few think there is any merit or common sense in it. It is a persisting personal crusade by one person.
So annuities were priced based on gilt yields and mortality assumptions and a legal contract was formed. Do we now want to release some from that contract (most likely those who realise their life expectancy may be less than average)? So, for those who remain in annuities beyond average life expectancy and whose income relied on mortality cross-subsidy, can they expect their contract to be broken too and income reduced to reflect loss of that cross-subsidy? Yes, no? Or perhaps annuity providers should plant more money-trees?

Adding to the Charter of the primary potential uses of your activities in Sri Lanka is not practiced. Our lawyers recommend a proposed description of the main activities of the company. Briefly and clearly, for example: Tourism, International Trade, Construction of Hotels, etc. If it is required, in the consequence of the Articles of Association of your company you can add new paragraphs describing the activities of your company. The founders and directors are required to sign the Charter and all the attached documents for registration. Lawyers of Lankarus submit documents to the registration and tax authorities. Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of tax registration is usually issued after 3-5 business days.
Fully procedure for registration of enterprise / company / firm in Sri Lanka takes about 7-10 business days. The personal presence of the founders / directors is optional, and the signed documents can be sent with a courier to the address of lawyers' office and personally deliver it to our specialists. The second option is preferred. The lawyer / notary will help you avoid mistakes in filling out and signing the documents.
After receiving your package of documents on hand at the end of the registration process, you need to open a bank account of your company and make this account an amount that is required for the production of primary shares. At the expense there must also do the minimum amount of funds, usually 15 000 rupees. Plain practiced the starting amount of the issue of shares - 100 shares at a price of Rs. 10 per share. Note that for each capitalized amount it is necessary to pay a fee of 0.5% of the issue. The bank account can be opened in one working day. In some cases, personal presence at the bank can be avoided if you trust account opening to lawyers of Lankarus, filling out the necessary forms and bank statement. However, in practice, some banks following the instructions on the prevention of money laundering in Sri Lanka require data verification. In this case, some banks still need your signature, certification and identification of individuals. In such cases you will be notified and disturbed by our lawyers.
The first transfer funds into opened account of your company from your country (for example, if you live in Germany) can make proving the legality of income. Citizens of the European Union can take a certificate from the tax office. For citizens of Russia there can be useful reference from of the employer - 2NDFL, or a certificate from the tax office. Seeing the transparency and legality of your money, the bank will be able to carry out their transaction into your account in Sri Lanka.
The banks have system of several types of debit accounts. The best option is considered to be the opening of your personal investment account SIA (Securities Investment Account). The main purpose of that SIA account is guaranteed and unimpeded withdrawal of funds in the future. With this account you can withdraw cash or transfer money to the account of the company, you can make an additional share issue by capitalizing on these funds. From account of the company you can make the necessary investment payments.
You can sign your loan agreement with the Sri Lankan company, which has a legally enforceable right to the possibility of a foreign loan of up to $ 10 million a year in terms of the standard bank interest. This is necessary if you wish to select an alternative way to enter the capital to Sri Lanka. Correct input of capital and easy means of its withdrawal from Sri Lanka. These methods allow us to deduce from Sri Lanka and accumulated earnings without complications. We emphasize here that all obtained by your company income is taxed at the standard rate in the country of receipt. No double taxation exists.

Josh from JR. JR. Recommends Ip Man Movies For a Brain Break
And transcendental meditation for a refresh.
By JR. JR. | July 13, 2020
JR. JR.
Joshua Epstein and Daniel Zott have been making music as JR JR — formerly Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. — for a decade, playing electronic-tinge indie-pop that slots nicely next to bands like MGMT and Portugal The Man. The band's latest single is "The Gambler," a song inspired by a particularly horrendous trip to Las Vegas.

The Way We Get By
Most of us are sequestered in our homes, doing our part to slow the spread of COVID-19. That includes some of our favorite artists, so we're asking them to tell us about one thing — a book, a movie, a record, whatever — that's helping them get through this difficult time.
I'm here with my girlfriend Jena Friedeman, she's from Chicago. We're trying to navigate the negotiations of who gets to make noise when. I make music in the downstairs of our house and then she basically is working with a feature film that's kind of constantly rewriting, so she's been in writers' rooms on Zoom. So one of us has to have headphones on all the time, basically. It's not the worst. We don't have kids and aside from tour dates canceling, nothing is really that different for us. Pretty much we're working from home. People come to Los Angeles and kind of open up trying to work with different people. I do that from time to time, but that's really all that's different, not doing that.
I've been watching these kung fu movies, about this guy Ip Man. He was a practitioner of Wing Chun, that kind of kung fu. He had a really difficult life and then ended up teaching Bruce Lee and some other famous students. There's something beautiful about all the choreography, and watching people who are just so gifted and also have been so disciplined for their entire lives. Because it's such a different world from my everyday reality, it's kind of like going back in time through Chinese history and into Hong Kong. It feels like I can get lost in it, and it doesn't stress me out about what's happening currently.
I'm not sure how many of these movies there are. I think every streaming service has different ones. There are a series that are more big budget, really well done. But then there's all sorts of different versions of Ip Man stories on all different sites. It's interesting. The one who made Wing Chun kung fu famous, so he's like a Floyd Mayweather, except for people liked him more and he was more humble.
He's a real guy. He's not in these movies. It's people playing him at various stages in his life. In the last one of the big budget version, you kind of get introduced to his prized people — Bruce Lee, who then went on to make it world famous.
The movies are pretty recent, and they're subtitled. That may also be why they're not stressful to me, because I don't understand what they're saying, in the auditory sense. But it takes my mind off things in the pandemic.
Also, and this is actually super-serious: I think learning transcendental meditation was the best thing that I've done in life to prepare for this. I did it as a child, then I kind of forgot all about how to do it. My parents were into it, so I thought it was dorky. But I went and signed up again and learned it myself maybe four years ago. As someone who's had generalized anxiety disorder and all sorts of anxiety issues, it definitely controls your cortisol levels better than any drug really can. I don't know what they're going to do, because you have to learn in a three-day class. That'd be awesome if they offered that online.

How to offer Qasr at congregational prayer?
Salam, How do you pray qasr prayer while in a congregation and the imam is a non-traveller too.
God Has Officially Abandoned Me!
Do Shiites Believe In Finality Of Prophethood?
Not really my issue as in wether you agree or not. But what I said is the truth. Don't know how Authentic this Hadith is. Mate, Imam Sadiq (as) is the inheritor of Mohammad (S), why would he rule by the law of David? Imam Ali and Imam Hasan did rule as Caliph, did they rule as per law of David? not they didn't, they ruled by the principle and laws of Mohammad (s). Also, there is no situation that they can't handle, They are deeply rooted in knowledge, they possess the same knowledge as Prophet Mohammad (S) and yes, there is no doubt that Allah is their helper and He helps whom He wishes. May Allah send his Lann, an increasing Lann and an eternal lann on those who fabricate Hadiths to debase Mohammad and Ale Mohammad (S). The Prophet (S) didn't just place some laws with the permission from Allah. Haven't you read the Quran, The prophet Mohammad (s) does not do anything or say anything but with the command of Allah, the most High. Again, He did not leave anything incomplete. Haven't your read the Quran, where Allah revealed the ayat, that Today we have completed the your religion and chosen Islam as your religion. Our Imams don't bring about any new (not even a single one) legislative laws or does not make any changes to the sharia of Mohammad (s) but rather they are the ones to preserve it and look after it. For Allah's sake, Please stop making false accusations that becomes a cause of confusion.
Yes, we do believe in Finality of prophethood, ending with our beloved Prophet Mohammad (S), the seal of the prophets. Our Imams are divine Guides but they don't receive any revelations or they can't make changes to the law provided the Prophet (S). They are the one who puts the law into practise and implements that law. ^ You have not understood the concept of Imamate correctly, Imams don't bring about any new laws or revelations. They are the inheritors of the Prophet Mohammad (S), they implement the sharia that our Beloved Prophet left us with. They are the Interpreters and commentators of the Holy Quran, they are divine guides to guides us from any misconception in our religion and saves us from going astray from the path of Allah and his Messenger.

Alternative Titles: Tarshish, Tartessos
Tartessus, ancient region and town of the Guadalquivir River valley in southwestern Spain, probably identical with the Tarshish mentioned in the Bible. It prospered from trade with the Phoenicians and Carthaginians but was probably destroyed by the latter about 500 bc. The exact site of the town is not known, but archaeological evidence suggests it may have been near present-day Sevilla (Seville).
Spain: Ethnic groups

The Field of Forty Footsteps
The site of the bloody duel between two brothers over a girl.
Location: Torrington Square, Bloomsbury, London
Description: The area of land that existed here before the square was built upon it was named the Field of Forty Footsteps after a legendary duel that took place here.
Two brothers fought and killed each other here over for the love of a girl, who watched passively from the bank of a pond nearby. Their lengthy exertions back and forth over soft ground was visible for many years to come, probably due to a dry spell! Legend has it that each step they took during battle killed the grass, and it never grew back.
The only building here at the time was was Montague House (now part of the British Museum). This area was then known as Long Fields and then Southampton Fields.
According to T F Thiselton Dyer (Strange Pages from Family Papers), the footprints were located 'about three-quarters of a mile north of Montague House and five hundred yards east of Tottenham Court Road'. More recent researchers identify the area as that where Torrington Square is now.

After getting some much needed rain and a slight easing of the winds, we are bracing for another round of storminess Saturday into Sunday. The second wave of wind and rain will pass through the region late Saturday, kicking off another High Wind Watch, and bringing mainly mountain rain to the region (snow levels will likely be above 8,500'. Winds on Saturday will increase again in the afternoon to similar levels to what we saw Friday morning, gusting as high as 70 mph in the wind prone regions.
Rain showers will continue through Sunday into Monday morning. Temperatures will be mild, in the mid to lower 60s through Sunday, and then dropping to the 50s on Monday, as the remaining showers begin to clear out. The cooler air could drop snow levels Sunday night to below the mountain pass level, so care should be taken if you are travelling over the passes then.
Temperatures will rebound as we go through the rest of next week, back in the 60s on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then climbing back into the mid-70s by next Friday.

It is a small sized fish which grows up to 50 cm. Its body is oval in shape and compressed laterally. Clown triggerfish has large head and represents approximately one third of the body length. The mouth is small, terminal and has strong teeth.
The background coloration is black. Half of the body has big white spots which are more or less round. The area around the first dorsal fin is crossed by yellowish sinuosities which draw like a network reminding the leopard's patterns. There is a yellowish ring around the mouth, which is surrounded by another fin white ring. A white stripe ride the snout just under the eyes level. The second dorsal fin and the anal fin are white and underlined with a yellow line at their base. The caudal peduncle has a yellowish blotch on its top part and has three horizontal sets of spiny scales. The caudal fin is yellowish in its center and has black margin. Juveniles have a black background coloration spangled with small white spots, the extremity of the snout and the base of the first dorsal fin is yellowish.
The clown triggerfish is widely found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian Ocean until the western Pacific Ocean. It is most commonly found along external reef slopes with clear water until 75 m depth. Juveniles are usually staying below 20 m sheltered close to caves or overhangs.
Balistoides conspicillum has a varied diet based on different benthic organisms like molluscs, echinoderms and crustaceans.
