Hidetaka Miyazaki also says he doesn't care whether you only think of him in relation to Dark Souls.
Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has discussed how he feels about being tied to, and perhaps even defined, by the Souls series.
Kotaku asked Miyazaki if, 10 years from now, he was primarily remembered for the game design template that developer From Software has used for Demon's Souls, the Dark Souls series, and Bloodborne. Or if he'd like to create something new and different.
"To be honest, I'm really not interested on how I'm viewed as," he replied. "The only thing I'm interested in is to keep creating something special. Whether that something is synonymous to me or not is really none of my concern."
Continuing, Miyazaki said he "can't deny the fact that the Souls series is something special to" him and he is "happy to know that people have that sort of image" of him.
However, he also indicated that he's determined to create something that tops the Souls series.
"Even if that image stays with me, I have no intention of ending in a way where I couldn't create a game that surpasses the Souls series. That would be pretty sad, wouldn't it?"
In April, Miyazaki confirmed development on a new property has begun at From Software, and the studio has no intention of following Dark Souls 3 up with another sequel. In total, From Software is working on three new games.
In an interview with GameSpot, Miyazaki previous said, as president of From Software, he would aggressively pursue new ideas.
I just believe that [moving on from Dark Souls] is necessary in order for players to continue enjoying our games," he explained. "We have to keep creating quality games and be aggressive about doing new things."

It was so cool to be that close to such an amazing creature, while feeling safe and not having to worry about transportation because we booked the excursion thru Apple.

This doctor paid off $200,000 in student loans in 19 months. Here's how.
There are some milestones that need to be appropriately celebrated. For the 80% of physicians who graduated with student loan debt, paying those loans off certainly qualifies as such a moment. Everyone has a different way of tackling their student loans. Today, I want to outline how we paid off $200,000 in student loans in 19 months, and then discuss what our plans are to rid ourselves of the rest of our debt.
We refinanced our student loans with Common Bond from 6.8% interest during fellowship into a 7 year variable rate around 3.5 to 4%. During repayment we still gained interest. So, our total student loan debt repayment ended up totaling $200,000.
So, to pay off our car loans, we will need an additional $43,800 over the next 12 months to have them paid off. That will be a tough goal to meet, but if we live within our means and use additional bonus money, it is possible.

Nandita Godbole and her husband are both from India, but they grew up in different communities and different ideological backgrounds. They even spoke different languages.
Their parents didn't want them to get married. So they waited, anxiously and respectfully, until their parents agreed to it.
Godbole, an author, and her husband have now been married for more than 18 years. Even though they still deal with plenty of drama around their parents' opinions of their marriage, they make a point, every few years, to travel from the U.S. to India to visit their families.
Navigating their disapproval hasn't been easy, but Godbole and her husband have maintained strong relationships with their parents.
"They're not always right, they're not always wrong, but as the child, your job is to be respectful," Godbole said.
Godbole's parents were very clear about why they didn't want her marrying her husband. But you might not be so lucky.
Before you can address the issues your parents have with your partner, you need to figure out what the problem really is. Is it a religious thing? An economic thing? An upbringing thing? Or is it because your significant other seems to drink too much or doesn't treat you well?
If you feel that your parents are being disrespectful toward your partner, step in. Don't let them deal with it alone.
It's easy to get defensive and angry, but maybe your parents see something you don't.
Confront them about the issue and see if they're willing to share their reasons. If what they say is irrelevant or if it's something you've already come to terms with, don't let your parents influence your decision to be with that person.
"(Your) parents may not love your (significant other), but they can grow to love them in time," marriage and family therapist Katie Ziskind said.
If you see a path forward, the best way to bridge the gap between your significant other and your parents is to establish common interests.
If those don't exist yet, create them. Remember, if this is somebody you're choosing to spend your life with, you're going to have to get through a lot of family gatherings together.
In their 16th year of marriage, Godbole's husband offered to help her mother cook for the first time. In their culture, it is unusual for men to help in the kitchen. After the initial shock wore off, Godbole's mother admitted that she appreciated that her son-in-law took an interest in something she enjoyed.
"It switched things around," Godbole said.
It can be tempting to skip the holidays and create your own traditions, which might be necessary, if you're dealing with a toxic parent. But if you want your family and your significant other to eventually get along, they need to spend time together.
Godbole and her husband have set rules around interacting with their parents. They won't speak badly about one another in front of them. They don't guilt each other. And before visiting their parents, they talk openly about their fears and frustrations so the other can step in, if needed.
Just know your limits. If you feel that your parents are being disrespectful, step in. If your spouse is uncomfortable, try to change the subject.
"Be the shield for your spouse… don't make (them) into an enemy," Godbole said.
And understand that "due to religious or cultural beliefs, (your) parents may not understand some (of your) views," Ziskind said.
If that's the case, "set healthy boundaries with your parents" about what's up for discussion and what's not. And don't forget, "you and your spouse are a united team," she said.
At the end of the day, you're the one spending your life — day in and day out — with that person. Regardless of your parents' opinions, you need to be happy with that choice.

Q: jQuery - selector keeps changing This is how my selector looks like:
$("#testMyCard-123 > div.test1 > div.test3 > tr > h4");

Everything is working for some time, but then the number 123 changes to 456. And my selector stops working, as $("#test-123... becomes $("test-456...
What would be the correct way to include at once, like maybe $("#testMyCard-123...contains('testMyCard'...

A: You can use the attribute starts with pseudo selector using id as the attribute:
$("[id^=testMyCard] > div.test1 > div.test3 > tr > h4");

Dell Technologies World 2018 (DTW18) was held this May in Las Vegas, with 14,000 attendees from around the globe.
"Make it Real" was this year's central theme at DTW18. Michael Dell kicked things off by showcasing how customers are using their technology to change the world for the better. However, he also emphasized last year's message that the four pillars of transformation (digital, IT, workforce and security) continue to be crucial in modernizing infrastructures. Building on last year's momentum, Dell Technologies takes its transformation journey even further, all the way to the year 2030.
This year at DTW18, Dell EMC presented a study they commissioned, Realizing 2030, that projects 12 years into the future with a forecast of how emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), will change how we live and work. The study surveyed 3,800 business leaders from 17 countries and 11 different industries, including healthcare, technology, manufacturing and retail. The report includes information on future trends, transformation status, barriers to success, as well as the ideal organization and how leaders can prepare.
Read the full study to learn how each of these areas will be affected.
How Are Businesses Responding to the Demand for Transformation?
Findings from the Realizing 2030 study report that an overwhelming majority of businesses are embracing the changes ahead, and they've begun planning their digital transformation with a five-year strategy.
Of the participants surveyed, only 1 percent of those believed they don't require a digital transformation and have not done anything to develop a digital strategy. The remaining 99 percent of participants are actively working on their transformation, and they feel like they are currently struggling to keep up with the pace of industry disruption.
Of the surveyed participants, 93 percent noted that there are several barriers keeping them from being successful in their transformation and from being competitive in the market.
The Dell EMC experts that conducted Realizing 2030 concluded that we're merely at the beginning of a massive transformation journey and that we're moving at the slowest pace we'll ever see.
While not every business leader surveyed agreed on how certain technologies are shifting business operations, it's clear that the majority agreed transformation is required to keep up.
So, where should you start? Business leaders are facing endless advice on how to accelerate and achieve their digital transformation. With constantly advancing solutions and many expert IT partners to choose from, businesses are in a prime position to prepare for the future. The key is choosing the right technology investments for your organization's needs. With the right partner and technology, you can enable the business and achieve transformation goals.
An experienced partner can help evaluate your organization's current journey and provide the vision and strategy needed to achieve your digital transformation.

This weekend we're dog sitting Sadie. She's a medium sized dark mutt and an amazing sweetheart. And luckily for us, she's really no trouble at all.
Of course, my cat wasn't having any of that. She stayed away for the most part during the initial meeting (she was curious in the beginning and approached him, but nothing other than some scoping out happened). Once Sadie came to stay with us, he quickly showed her who's boss, when she approached him hoping that a friendship would form. Poor Sadie backed up into our legs in despair. Between hanging out with us and her runs and walks, she's been longingly staring and following the cat around ever since. The moral of this story is that my cat is a big bully that bosses around dogs 3-4 times his size.
nice pic on the right w/ cat walking away gazing and dog sorta longing.


Co-op (cooperative education) colleges believe that working while going to college is as central to the student's education as classroom learning. The way these schools see it, learning takes place throughout the college experience, both inside and outside of the classroom. In addition, one of the primary goals of going to college is to prepare students to enter the workforce, so co-op colleges introduce students to full-time employment while they are still in school.
Some well known co-op colleges are Northeastern University (Boston, MA), University of Cincinnati (Cincinnati, OH), and Drexel University (Philadelphia, PA).
So how does cooperative education work?
At co-op colleges, students alternate between full-time classroom learning and full-time learning on the job. Students might spend one semester on campus, followed by a semester off-campus working full-time in a field related to their academic or career interests. By the time a student graduates, they will have held between two and five different full-time jobs, explored several career interests, and gained the maturity and flexibility that comes from going through the job application process, earning money, and living independently.
Students typically take a pre co-op course to prepare for full-time employment. They are also provided with a co-op adviser or counselor who will help the student search for, and apply to, co-op positions. Co-op colleges have connections with employers throughout the United States, and around the world, to ensure that students can find engaging and exciting employment during co-op terms.
It is important to note that in some cases, the co-op schedule extends the college experience to five years instead of four. However, for some students, the value of earning money and gaining work experience outweighs the extra time it might take to graduate.

You're regarded by many as one of the top female poker players and known for making male players "weep". What prompted you to become a professional poker player?
I love poker and I am really competitive. Poker is the one activity that allows me to compete fairly against men and women, of all ages and sizes. I love to strategize, the game of poker is all about making the right decisions, knowing and playing by the rules, having fun and making money.
The sport of poker, especially tournaments, is all about endurance, position, money management and getting results. When I started playing poker professionally, the poker world was very different, it was filled with opportunity, challenges and there was a sense of community. Today, the poker world is so different, the players are different and the legal landscape in the US is extremely different.
Professional poker is still pretty much dominated by men. Do you think the gap is closing between male and female players? Are male players more aggressive than female players? If so, why would you say so?
Women are typically only 3% of the field, although the number of entrants in the Ladies events are growing each year. I don't know if I would say that male players are more aggressive, I've played against some very aggressive women players, but I will say that for myself, women are harder to read than male players at a poker table.
Poker is a game of skill. When playing in a tournament, do you follow a specific strategy? Has it stood you in good stead so far?
Tournaments are all about survival. Typically, when I play a tournament, I set goals for each level. I know that a tournament can't be won in the early levels of play. Like in life, it's the small steps that lead to the bigger picture and most time requires positive thinking, a defined goal and persistence. Knowing your competition, taking advantage of your position, along with some calculated risk taking are elements that have contributed to my success. So far, so good, I am a very goal orientated, so this strategy has worked well for me, at and away from the poker table.
What's the best hand you ever had and which famous poker player did you knock out with it? Being a female poker player does it hold a certain advantage?
Believe it or not, I rarely remember actual hands, but I know I've knocked out many famous poker players over the years. At a poker table, I play my game no matter who the opponent is. Being a female poker player can have its advantages, but can also have disadvantages. I usually take notice of my male opponents and typically categorize them into 3 categories.
There are the men who don't think I should be there, and they will play very aggressive and tend to bluff me more. Then there are the men who are just there to play poker, where by my gender doesn't matter and finally, there are the men who flirt and will do and play almost any hand just to get my attention. These men are great to play against and easy to read, although they play almost any 2 cards, so I tend to only play more cautiously against them.
Bad beats are part of the game, what's the worst bad beat you ever experienced?
Bad Beats are definitely part of the game, although what most people don't realize is that it is only a bad beat because you played your hand and opponent correctly and just got unlucky. Bad beats happen, its part of the game and like all poker players, I've experienced brutal bad beats, but never let it get me down. I just take it as they come and try to take away any lesson I can from them.
You've rubbed shoulders with the rich and famous. Which celebrity/ies who play poker made a lasting impression upon you?
I have played poker with some of the most famous athletes and celebrities, mostly at charity events to raise money for amazing organizations. I've played with Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time, a few times. He is a great guy and super competitive, which I just love. He always handles himself with confidence, respect for others and with the greatest display of sportsmanship.
In your expert opinion, what's the biggest mistake aspiring poker players normally make and what advice would you give to them?
It's funny, people think playing poker professionally is so glamorous and exciting. The best advice I can give any aspiring poker player, is that if you are contemplating going to college or playing poker professionally, I always recommend that they go to school. Poker will be there when they are done. I also always advise players to never stop learning, about yourself, the game and how to manage your bank roll. I believe this is the best investments you can make for the future.
I see that you're involved in several charities? One that comes to mind is the "Ante Up for Autism" with actor Joseph Reitman tell us more about it?
TACA or Talking About Autism, www.tacanow.org is one of my favorite non-profit organization because they provide real help, free services and hope for families who have just received the autism diagnosis. TACA speeds up the cycle time from the diagnosis to effective treatments, leading to a better quality of life for people affected by autism.
Today, 1 in every 68 children are being diagnosed with autism, that is more than 2 million people living with autism, just in the U.S. Every 20 minutes a parent is being told their child has autism. I've been involved with TACA for the last 8 years and a few years ago, I invited Joe Reitman to Ante Up for Autism, and he's been such a great supporter and friend to me and to TACA.
Internet gambling is huge in the United States. Have you ever played online poker? Would you say there's a difference between live poker and playing it online?
Unfortunately, poker in the US is not like it was before Black Friday. I love playing poker, whether it's online or live, although I do prefer live play, for the social, face to face interactions. Playing online is great, it's fun and a great way to sharpen your poker skills, but there is nothing greater than playing live and see who your opponent is. Playing live takes the game to another dimension, when playing online, you have no idea who you are playing against.
If I may ask, what's the vibe amongst female poker players? Do you look up to certain female players? If so, who and why?
I believe a player is a player, just like celebrities are people. I try to respect everyone as a person, regardless of social status, gender or age. I certainly believe that there are great players at every table, live and online, and I do observe them, their bet size, their actions, their position as well as their character and how they treat others. To me respect is given to those who deserve it, as opposed to those who demand or require it.
Poker players get up to all kinds of antics. What's the funniest thing that ever happened to you or that you experienced during a poker tournament? What's your favorite tournament and why?
There are so many great and funny moments that I have experienced, at and away from the poker table. Back in the day, we would travel from tournament to tournament and have fun dinners, play satellites and cash games and just hang out. I love playing the Master Classics in Amsterdam at the Holland Casino, EPT events are always well organized, WPT events are great, especially at Bellagio and I enjoy the Deep Stack events at the Venetian. Poker is a great game and has brought lots of laughter, life lessons and friendships into my life.


As might be expected, such an undertaking has been underway for some time, although it has picked up speed of late. In December last year two groups—down from a previous short list of six—were looking to acquire control of the financially strapped airline. The other bidder at the time was AP Holding, which controls Italy's largest privately held carrier, Air One. At that time, the Alitalia (AZ) board deferred a decision as to with which group it would negotiate. Although the board did prefer AF-KLM, the final decision for sale of its 49.9% stake in AZ rested with the Italian government.
At last, Tommaso Padoa-Schoppia, Italy's Minister of Finance, gave permission to the opening of exclusive talks between AF-KLM and AZ. Following an announced timetable, a proposal to combine the airlines and have the AF-KLM group gain control of the Italian airline received unanimous approval of the Alitalia board of directors. Those directors noted that the offer would preserve the airline's assets and provide stable restructuring and long range development.
There are hurdles yet to be overcome before everything is settled. One condition, endorsement by the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finance, has been met. European Union approval is expected by the end of June. Crucial to the success of the deal is a buy-in by AZ unions.
Reports are that part of the AF-KLM plan for AZ's restructuring and relaunch calls for severe cuts in medium- and long-range flights from the Milan Malpensa Airport, using a single major hub at Rome's Fiumicino Airport. KLM's major hub is at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport and AF's at Charles de Gaulle Airport at Paris. Such reductions and realignments, among other factors, will mean a reduction in the AZ workforce of 1,600 by 2010.
This may be the biggest monkey wrench in the works. AF-KLM has set a deadline of March 31 for certain conditions to be met. On March 18, AF-KLM chairman, Jean-Cyril Spinetta, met with the representatives of the major Italian trade unions at Alitalia's head office. "The aim of the Air France-KLM group is not to take over Alitalia, but to see whether it is possible to build a major global airline group together with the entire Alitalia workforce," he said.


Slim pickings: Banks are less keen on lending.
As the fallout from the subprime debacle continues, companies are finding they can no longer rely on their long-standing banking providers for credit. In fact, according to a report by analyst Greenwich Associates, credit is not only tight, but cutbacks on the part of the major banks may be part of a longer-term strategic shift that predates the credit crunch.
The credit crunch has only served to accelerate this trend, says Greenwich Associates, pointing to the fact that in 2005 the 30% of companies using the top 10 European or global banks described their banks as the "most reliable credit providers." By 2007 that percentage had fallen to 23%.
With credit scarce, some large European corporates, instead of giving money back to shareholders, are also stockpiling cash reserves, which they are placing in long-term investments as insurance against future crises.
While it may make sense for companies to start forming relationships with smaller regional banks, Greenwich maintains that large companies doing business globally should not ignore the large global banks altogether. "It is simply not an option for these companies to divert too much banking business away from the global banks with extensive international networks and cross-border capabilities," says Greenwich Associates consultant Markus Ohlig.

A famous cinematic scene would come to mind whenever Eileen Capritto and her husband biked to Mass at St. Pius X Church with their flock of children.
As the Capritto brood cycled along Lakeshore Drive from their house on Turquoise Street, the riders in the front would pass along alerts of road hazards – such as glass – in a sing-song chant that ultimately reached those bringing up the rear.
"It was kind of like 'The Sound of Music,' when they were in the drapery clothes," chuckled Capritto, now 74. "At that time, the older girls would wear shorts (for the bike ride) and carry their wrap-around skirts to wear at Mass. People used to wait to see when spring would come if I was pregnant or not, because we had all these little kids. They were like ducks in a row."
Such moments, lovingly branded as "Capritto Chaos," are all in a day's work for the matriarch, this year's recipient of the Archdiocese of New Orleans' Regina Matrum Award recognizing outstanding exemplars of Catholic motherhood.
Capritto, who was selected for the annual distinction by the Council of Catholic School Cooperative Clubs, will be recognized at a May 11 Mass at 7 p.m. at St. Pius X Church, 6666 Spanish Fort Blvd. Archbishop Gregory Aymond will be the main celebrant.
"I thought, 'Oh, no. This can't be!'" said Capritto of the moment news of her accolade broke at a surprise party she thought was being thrown for one of her seven daughters. "It's a very difficult thing for me because I feel like I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do – I'm not doing anything extraordinary or exceptional," she said. "I'm just me – nothing special."
Longed for a large family
Born Eileen Frisbee in New Orleans, Capritto grew up in Raceland, attending Mount Carmel Academy in Thibodaux and playing basketball on the levee in a tiny neighborhood of eight houses.
"At that time, you didn't have any kind of class distinctions – it was either the 'good kids' or 'bad kids,'" recalled Capritto, whose devoutly Catholic parents took her and her three brothers to Mass at St. Mary Nativity Church.
Faith bolstered the family when Capritto's father died when she was 12. Capritto said her mother, who had a deep devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, kept the family afloat by working as a bookkeeper.
"She was a rock and she never complained," Capritto said. "She was very religious in a quiet way. She didn't expound or preach. She was just a fantastic mother, always behind us, encouraging us. She was president of my fan club!"
Capritto married her husband A.J., an attorney, in 1964, meeting him a year into her career as an R.N. at her nursing school alma mater of Hotel Dieu. As luck would have it, A.J. Capritto had been sent to the hospital to retrieve his mother's eyeglasses, and Eileen was the charge nurse on lost-and-found duty. Their first date was at Antoine's.
"He knew I came from the country, so he wanted to impress me," said Capritto, noting that she and her husband had agreed from the outset that they wanted a large family. A.J., an only child, wanted 10, while Eileen wanted a baker's dozen – 13 – the same number of siblings as her roommate in nursing school.
Faith and hope amid grief
In the midst of raising their family, tragedy struck.
In 1974, the Caprittos' seventh child – 16-month-old Thomas – died after wandering into a swimming pool. Ever since, family members have asked Thomas to pray for them every time they say "grace" at the dinner table.
"We have canonized him ourselves. He's our 'St. Thomas,'" said Capritto, explaining that her son's passing reversed her and her husband's feeling at the time that they would limit their family to seven children.
"After Thomas died we said, 'Who are we to say seven's enough?'" Capritto said. "We decided we were just going to do what God wanted us to do, and that he would provide."
They went on to have three more children. Altogether, they range in age from 50 to 35: Ann Dowling, Jane Alvarez, Michael Capritto, Margaret McFarland, Elizabeth "Beth" Traina, Alice Cibilich, Judy Muscarello, David Capritto and Mary Smith. The Caprittos also have 25 grandchildren.
"They're a fun bunch. We love to be together. Our kids are amazing. They're so good to us; they're kind to us," said Capritto, who carried on her own mother's practice of sitting down as a family at dinnertime.
Capritto also channeled her mother's quiet strength when it came to managing her large and lively household. For example, she never thought twice about giving her master bedroom to her husband's aging parents for nearly 20 years or piling her children into a 15-seat van for cross-country road trips.
In the summer, each child's chores for the day were listed on a kitchen chart. The rotation of duties included being the "Good Samaritan of the Day" – the sibling charged with doing an act of kindness for another family member.
Capritto said one of her go-to meals as a young mother was chicken and mushroom stew served over noodles.
"That was our 'loaves and fishes dinner' because I could really stretch that," she said. "(The children) could only have candy on Sunday. A.J. would buy a Mars candy bar and cut it into 10 pieces!"
Daily encounters with Christ
After a four-year post-Katrina detour to Baton Rouge, the Caprittos settled in the Warehouse District. Now parishioners of St. Patrick Church on Camp Street, they have been daily communicants for 10 years, attending weekday Masses at sites including the Redemptorist chapel on Jackson Avenue, St. Francis Xavier, Chateau de Notre Dame and Immaculate Conception in the CBD.
"Sometimes I'll walk to the cathedral for the morning Mass," said Capritto of her daily search for the Eucharist.
"To me, (daily Mass) is an invitation from Christ to come to his table. If somebody invites you to breakfast, to dinner or to lunch, you go," Capritto said. "Christ invites us every day, and it's only in recent years that I have thought, 'Who am I to say, "God, I've got to do this other thing that's more important than coming to the table with you?"
As a busy young mother, Capritto, who had at least one child enrolled at St. Pius X from 1970 to 1993 and who earned her former parish's St. Louis Medallion in 2003, somehow found time to serve as an extraordinary minister of holy Communion, scout leader, school board member, Mother's Club president and CCSCC president.
Her longtime volunteer endeavors include serving St. Elizabeth's Guild, which assists St. John the Baptist Head Start, Padua House and Catholic Charities' Independent Living Skills program; as a Lady Grand Cross in the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, which supports Catholic ministries in the Holy Land; and in various capacities for the New Orleans Opera Association's Women's Guild.
But don't expect Capritto to accept praise for any of her good works. She still modestly insists she's a work in progress.
"My trust in God has been my foundation. My only talent was having children and that's finished," she said.
"I used to have my kids pray for patience when we said prayers at night," Capritto added. "They would say, 'God, give my mother patience,' and I attribute my patience to the fact that they prayed."

Core participant applications invited for next phase of Accountability & Reparations investigation
We are today publishing an update note and inviting applications for Core Participant status in the next phase of the Accountability & Reparations investigation.
Phase one of the investigation examined the experience of victims and survivors of sexual abuse at five institutiosn: Forde Park Approved School, Stanhope Castle Approved School, St Leonard's children's home, North Wales children's homes and St Aidan's and St Vincent's. We examined the extent to which current mechanisms for support and compensation help or hinder the satisfaction of the right to truth, accountability, compensation, and guarantees of non-recurrence.
The Panel is currently producing a report on the case studies, which will make a number of recommendations to the systems of civil justice, criminal compensation and support.
The next phase of the investigation will examine in more detail two important issues that emerged during the investigation of the five institutions (case studies):
Whether the law of limitation should be reformed to make it easier for victims and survivors to bring claims in respect of non-recent child sexual abuse.
The potential for a redress scheme to offer accountability and reparations to victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.
Individuals and organisations that wish to be designated as a core participant in relation to this phase of the Accountability & Reparations investigation are asked to submit their application by 4pm on 11 September 2019.
A preliminary hearing in this investigation will take place on 16 October 2019 at the Inquiry's hearing centre at 18 Pocock Street, London SE1 0BW. The Inquiry will hold a public three day hearing in this investigation, commencing on 26 November 2019. Further details will be published on our website.
A core participant has a formal role as defined by legislation. Core participants have special rights in the Inquiry process. These include receiving disclosure of documentation, being represented and making legal submissions, suggesting questions and receiving advance notice of the Inquiry's report. It is not necessary to be a core participant in order to provide evidence to the Inquiry.
Applicants should read the investigation update note, the guidance document for potential core participants and FAQs. In particular applicants should note that applications should be set out in writing on no more than 4 sides of A4 paper and as a minimum should include the information set out at paragraph 14 of the guidance.
It will not be necessary for victims and survivors who attend a Truth Project session to be designated as core participants, as the Inquiry will not make individual factual findings on the basis of what is said during the private Truth Project Sessions. They will however enable the Inquiry to piece together a broader picture of the scale and nature of institutional child sexual abuse in England and Wales.
When each of the remaining investigations are in a position to invite applications for core participant status and hold preliminary hearings, the Inquiry will make announcements here.
The Inquiry is encouraging all victims and survivors of child sexual abuse to share their experience.

Barlekha () is an upazila (sub-district) of Moulvibazar District, located in Bangladesh's Sylhet Division.

Etymology
Barlekha Upazila is named after Barlekha (formerly 'Barlikha') which means Great Likha. Likha was an area historically under the Panchakhanda pargana, and an ancient shloka by Mukundaram Siddhanta refers to the area by this name. Likha was later divided into Barlikha (Great Likha) and Chhotalikha (Little Likha); the latter of which still exists as a village within the upazila.

History
The Malegarh hillock at Lathu (came to be known later as Shahbajpur), the northern tip of Barlekha Upazila, was shaken up in November 1857 after Indian rebels revolted in Meerut. The soldiers of 34 Native Infantry in Chittagong revolted, looted the armoury and treasury and set army barracks on fire. These rebel soldiers, on their way to reach Manipur, pitched their tents at Malegarh. A force of 160 company soldiers under Major Byng, initially reached Protaphgarh (now in India) and then Malegarh on December 19, 1857. In that battle, Major Byng and four other company soldiers lost their lives. The mutineers retreated leaving behind twenty-six rebels including Major Sher Khan and Captain Shamsher Khan. For those who lived long enough to make it to Manipur, they were attacked not only by the company soldiers but also Kuki scouts. Ali Bakhsh of Chittagong, one of the rebels, was caught and charged of desertion, robbery and revolt. Gonjer Ali of Pratapgarh and Zamindar Gaus Ali Khan of nearby Prithimpasha were accused of helping the rebels.

At the Delhi Durbar on 12 December 1911, King George V announced the reunification of a Bengal Province and the creation of an Assam Province. During this time, the Sylhet region was split into four  (or subdivisions); Sylhet (including Moulvibazar), Habiganj, Sunamganj and Karimganj. In 1882, the Sylhet Mahakuma was split into two; Sylhet and South Sylhet. On 18 May 1940, one of the five thanas of the Karimganj Mahakuma, Jolodhup, was planned to also be split into two - Beanibazar and Barlekha. Beanibazar went to Sylhet Mahakuma while Barlekha went to South Sylhet (Moulvibazar) Mahakuma.

On 1 July 1983, Barlekha Thana was upgraded into an upazila.

Geography
Barlekha is located at . The area of the upazila is 315.58 km2.

Demography
At the 1991 Bangladesh census, Barlekha had a population of 200,674, of whom 50.09% were aged 18 or older (against the national average of 48.52%). Of the population, 49.86% were male (national average of 51.48%) and 50.14% female (national average of 48.52%). The average literacy rate (measured as having 7+ years of education) was 34.6%, against the national average of 32.4%. 70.59% of the population are Muslim, 28.31% Hindu, 0.92% Christian, 0.04% Buddhist, and 0.14% other beliefs. Ethnic nationals include Manipuri and Khasi, who have their own languages.

Manufacturing and minerals
There are 18 tea gardens in Barlekha spread over an area of 64.39 km2, most of which were established by the English tea planters during the time of British Raj. Each garden has its own tea-processing factory. Tea laborers who work in the gardens were brought in the 1800s from outside of Bengal under rather questionable working  conditions. Sujanagar of this upazila is known for producing incense and attar (essence of flowers and Agar tree). For over a century, these have found markets in Middle Eastern and Far Eastern countries. There are about 350-400 agar attar factories in Barlekha. Agar attar is considered as liquid gold of Bangladesh. About 2000 litres of agar attar is produced in Barlekha every year. Cottage industries include weaving, sheetalpati, bamboo and cane work, iron work, and potteries are other works of Barlekha.

At Kesrigul, there is an abandoned oil field of Burma Eastern Oil Company. It was a fully functional oil field but had to be sealed off in 1951 following a disastrous oil flood when crude oil burst out of the well and flooded the surrounding area.

Deposit of radioactive uranium has been discovered in Haragachha Hill at Juri, and an expert team has authenticated its reserve.

Economy and tourism
Barlekha is home to many points of interest. Madhabkunda waterfall is one of the most well-known tourist attractions in the country. It is Bangladesh's largest waterfall boasting a height of 200 ft (61m) and is set in a green Eco-park setting. Madhabkunda is surrounded by the hills full of tea plants. Every year thousands of tourists are drawn to Madhabkunda because of its natural environment, especially in winter. It is about 15 km from Barlekha railway station, and 350 km from the city of Dhaka. Geologically, this waterfall is in the Patharia Structure and is composed of the rocks of the Bhuban Formation. Local Hindus believe the circular pool where the water falls is a magical place, and many worshippers go there every year. Although the water in the pool is not very deep, several tourists have lost their lives in Madhabkunda by the force of the water.

Other sites include the mausoleums of Shah Dariya Pir in Chandpur, Syed Yaqub in Horipur and Syed Abu Bakr in Chotolekha. A 16th century mosque located in Loghati, Dasher Bazar is an archaeological heritage site that continues to attract visitors.

Over 40% of Hakaluki Haor, one of the largest marsh wetlands of Bangladesh as well as of Asia covering a total surface area of 181.15 km2 falls within Barlekha. A very large number of nature tourists come to visit the haor each year. Hakaluki Haor represents a complex wetland system with more than 80 interconnecting beels in a shallow basin formed between the Patharia and Madhab Hills to the east and the Bhatera Hills to the west. The major sources of water are the Juri, Sonai Bardhal and Kushiyara rivers, which traverse the wetland and drain through a single outlet, the Kushiyara River. While the haor itself is a seasonal water body formed during the monsoon, the beels are low-lying depressions of the haor system retaining water even during the dry months of the season. Thus, the haor system is a complex of both lacustrine wetlands (with open water) and palustrine wetlands (marshy – with vegetation), depending on the hydraulic behaviour in different seasons. In rainy season it takes the shape of a sea. Hakaluki Haor has a wide variety of waterfowl as well as wintering migratory birds. Every winter, tens of thousands of guest birds of about 150 species from Siberia and other cold regions flock to the haors. They include Bright and Rose King-duck, Pati-duck, Bali Hash, Lenja, Chity, Sorali, Boikal, Nilshir Piyan, Pantamukhi, Pankouri, Buti-duck, China, Rangamuri, Black-duck, Peributhi, Chokachoki, Giria, Khonjona, Patari, Dolpipi, Water-hen, North-Giria, Dahuk, Patibatan, Common-chill, Cotton-Chill, Gergini, Cottontail, Pintail, Toughed Duck.

Hakaluki Haor presents a unique type of ecosystem as well as a new set of management issues. Most of the local inhabitants are in some way dependent on the wetland for their livelihood. Hakaluki Haor supports one of the largest inland fisheries in Bangladesh. It is one of the so-called 'mother fishery areas', i.e. areas where brood, young and juvenile fish aggregate and take refuge during the dry season when the rest of the haor area becomes dry. While the area was once known as a "fishmine", its fish stocks are now increasingly threatened. Hakaluki Haor is on a global level a very important wetland for a wide variety of waterfowl, particularly Anatidae ducks.  In the 1960s, the wintering population of ducks was estimated at between 40,000 and 60,000.Every year a lot of birds making their nest in the house of Late Haji Monuhor Ali Master's house. This house became very well known as Masterer Pakir Bari which is a popular tourist attraction to the naturalist. Everyday a lot of local and international tourists visit Masterer Pakir Bari. In Hakaluki Haor threatened species such as Pallas' Fish Eagle also occurs at the wetland, which is furthermore an important area for reptiles such as freshwater turtles, and for amphibians.

Administration
Barlekha Upazila is divided into Barlekha Municipality and ten union parishads: Baralekha, Borni, Dakshin Dakshinbhag, Dakshin Shahbazpur, Dasherbazar, Nizbahadurpur, Sujanagar, Talimpur, Uttar Dakshinbhag, and Uttar Shahbazpur. The union parishads are subdivided into 139 mauzas and 269 villages.

Lady Blazers use final quarter to top Science Hill

Heading into the fourth quarter, the Lady Blazers and Lady Toppers were all even at 36. In the end, it was the point of being present that helped Daniel Boone claim a 57-52 victory and claim the District 1-AAA Tournament Championship.
"I think our kids just wanted it a little bit more," Daniel Boone coach Travis Mains said. "They executed offensively better, we started making layups and we knocked down a bunch of free throws and timely 3-point shots. The seniors stepped up."
The Lady Blazers had three players score in double figures with Bayleigh Carmichel leading the way with 16 points. The sophomore also took home tournament MVP honors. Macie Culbertson scored 15 points in the contest, while Sydney Pearce finished the night with 12 points.
Heading into the final period with the contest tied seemed to open the eyes of the Lady Blazers according to Culbertson.
"I think we just started realizing that we had it and that we were just eight minutes away," said Culbertson, who was also named the Big 7 Conference Player of the Year. "We just stepped on the gas and we finished."

The Lady Toppers were led by Samantha Fugate, who netted 11 points. Blair Henry finished with nine points, while Maddie Ratner and Alashia Smith each finished with eight.
"I thought our kids really grew up a lot from last night to tonight," Science Hill coach Scottie Whaley said. "They weren't overwhelmed by the moment. They came out and really got on us and we actually answered the bell."
Both teams will host opponents on Friday with Science Hill welcoming Jefferson County and Daniel Boone hosting Cherokee.
Besides bragging right, both teams knew that tonight didn't necessarily earn them anything.
"This is awesome for us, but it's just the beginning of what we want to do," Carmichel said.
Her coach agreed.
"We are supposed to be here, we are the seventh-ranked team in the state, so we have to do our part and that means we need to get down the road," Mains said.
For Science Hill, they will have the tougher road, having to cross paths with Jefferson County and Morristown West before a possible Region Championship contest, but Whaley said all of the goals his team wants to attain are still ahead of them.
"As important as this is, it matters a whole lot more come Friday night," Whaley said. "You know, Daniel Boone is one of the top five or six teams in the state and we are two or three possessions away from them.
"Like I told our kids, all of our goals are still in front of us."

My-Linh was born and raised in Northern Virginia. Her parents immigrated to the United States from Ca Mau, Viet Nam in hopes of providing their children a better life. It was their dream that all their kids go to college and they worked multiple jobs to ensure that dream came true. As a result of their sacrifice and hard work, My-Linh graduated from Virginia Tech with a B.S. in Computer Science and Math. She went on to get a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. She is very grateful to her parents and in an effort to give back to her native country and the many children who were not afforded the same opportunity she was, My-Linh has chosen to dedicate her time to VNSF. She is confident this organization is doing great things and is making a positive and important impact on the future of Viet Nam. She hopes to be an integral part in growing this organization and broadening its reach and success.

Volunteer firefighters face unique challenges when responding to emergency calls. To help overcome these challenges, we created emergency vehicle equipment specifically for volunteers.
For almost 40 years, Carson has been an innovator in the emergency vehicle siren industry. We have built a reputation of rugged, reliable, customer driven products. We understand the hard work and sacrifice that volunteers provide to our communities and country, and we are dedicated to providing the best products and service.
The second leading cause of volunteer firefighter deaths is motor vehicle accidents en route to a call.
We took this to heart when we developed our Volunteer series of sirens. Built to overcome the challenges volunteers face when responding to calls, these rugged, reliable sirens incorporate the traditional siren tones with the Carson Mechanical tone. This powerful, full coverage tone helps you safely clear traffic by delivering that instinctive reaction that makes drivers pull over. We want you to RUN SMALL, SOUND BIG, and ARRIVE SAFE!
