TWENTIETH DIVISION
[ CA- G.R. CV NO. 04241, November 27, 2014 ]
ELENITA SOCO TOMARONG, PETITIONER-APPELLEE, VS. MELVIN TOMARONG, RESPONDENT-APPELLEE,
REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES, OPPOSITOR-APPELLANT.
QUIJANO-PADILLA, J.:
This is an appeal on the Decision[1] dated April 18, 2011 and Order[2] dated July 6, 2011 of the Regional Trial Court of Lapu-Lapu City, Branch 54, in Civil Case No. R-LLP-08-03075-CV, which declared the marriage of Elenita Soco Tomarong to her husband Melvin Tomarong as null and void on the basis of the latter's psychological incapacity and which denied oppositor-appellant Republic's Motion for Reconsideration, respectively.
The relevant facts of the case follow.
Elenita Soco Tomarong and Melvin Tomarong were married on January 29, 1994 in Talisay, Cebu. The two were blessed with three children.
Elenita claims that at the time she contracted marriage with Melvin, she did not know that the latter was psychologically incapacitated to assume and comply with the essential marital obligations of marriage. She alleges that her husband's psychological incapacity manifested after their marriage as she found out that he is irresponsible as a husband and as a father to their children.[3]
Elenita, in her testimony,[4] narrated that she solely supports their children because Melvin never helps in their financial needs. He never gives money to her nor to his children. At one point, Elenita had to go to Melvin's parents to convince the latter to talk to their son and persuade him to give support to his family. His parents, however, was not able to help her as they told her that Melvin likewise never gave money to them.
Elenita likewise narrated that she was humiliated by her husband in public and that she was punched by him on the face during one altercation. She also recounted that her husband kicked her when she refused to have sex with him. She also claimed that her husband verbally abused her, that he berrated and blamed her for coming back to the country after she worked abroad.
Aside from physical and verbal abuse that she experienced with her husband, Elenita claimed that Melvin was a drunkard and a gambler. She said that these vices have caused their quarrels and would result in Melvin mauling her if he was drunk or had lost in his gambling activities. She remembered that he was first hit by her husband in 1995, when their first child was still one-year old. At that time, Melvin hit her because he was jealous with regard to the nature of her work which necessitated overtime work.
Not only that Melvin was irresponsible and abusive husband, but also, according to Elenita, he is a womanizer. In fact, in February 2006, Melvin left Elenita and their children to live with his paramour. She narrated that when she was still working abroad, she already heard stories about her husband being a womanizer, and when she came back to the country and confronted her husband about his alleged womanizing, the latter admitted the same.
Elenita also narrated that she was once hit by Melvin before they got married and that she already knew about his vices and his relationships with other women even before they were married. She said that before their marriage, Melvin changed, so she just tolerated his vices as she was very forgiving and patient. But, she could no longer bear the pain in her heart, so she decided to file a case for the declaration of nullity of their marriage.
Aside from Elenita's testimony, her friend, Astela Bayta, testified[5] before the trial court as regards her knowledge that Elenita's husband Melvin left his wife and children for another woman, that she saw Melvin and his paramour in a mall in Mactan, and that she often saw Melvin, when he was still staying with his wife, verbally and physically abusing his wife.
To prove that Melvin's acts would constitute as manifestations of his psychological incapacity, Dr. Andres Gerong, a clinical psychologist, testified as regards his psychologist report evaluating the personality of Melvin.
Dr. Gerong's psychologist report[6] and testimony[7] stated that Melvin is suffering from Antisocial Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Disorder. According to his report and testimony, Melvin's acts of abandoning his wife and children for another woman; failing to support his family as a result of his affair with another woman; physically and verbally abusing his wife; and his lack of care for his children, would manifest his antisocial personality disorder. He testified that Melvin's personality disorder is not treatable or curable and is very serious and grave. He further testified that Melvin's personality disorder was rooted in his own dysfunctional family as his father was a drunkard and was abusive, and that his material and emotional deprivation during childhood was the cause of his personality disorder.
While the proceedings before the trial court ensued, Melvin never appeared and participated in the proceedings despite due notice.
On April 18, 2011, the trial court rendered its assailed Decision[8] granting the petition of Elenita and declaring her marriage to Melvin null and void by reason of the latter's psychological incapacity. The decretal portion of the said Decision reads:
"WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Court hereby renders judgement declaring the marriage between Elenita Soco Tomarong and respondent Melvin Tomarong VOID AB INITIO, by reason of the psychological incapacity of respondent to comply with the essential marital obligations of marriage pursuant to Article 36 of the Family Code of the Philippines.
The Court shall forthwith issue the corresponding decree of absolute nullity upon the finality of the Decision subject to pertinent rules considering that the parties have no properties.
xxxx."[9]
The Republic, through the Office of the Solicitor General moved for a reconsideration[10] of the above Decision, but the same was denied in the assailed Order[11] of the trial court.
The Republic, as oppositor-appellant, raised this sole error on appeal:
"THE TRIAL COURT ERRED IN GRANTING THE NULLITY OF MARRIAGE CONSIDERING THAT PETITIONER FAILED TO PROVE THE REQUIREMENTS PROVIDED UNDER ARTICLE 36."[12]
For the Republic, Elenita failed to prove the gravity, incurability and juridical antecedence of her husband's supposed psychological incapacity as required by law and jurisprudence.
As such, We resolve this sole issue: is the evidence presented sufficient to establish the alleged psychological incapacity of Elenita's husband Melvin?
In granting the petition for declaration of nullity of marriage on the ground of psychological inacapacity, the trial court relied heavily on the psychological report and testimony of the expert witness, Dr. Gerong, which convinced the trial court that Melvin is suffering from antisocial personality disorder by reason of which he could not carry out the essential marital obligations of marriage. On the bases of Dr. Gerong's testimony and report, the trial court held that Melvin's antisocial personality disorder is attended by gravity, incurability, and juridical antecedence.[13]
In this appeal, the Republic argues that the basis on which the evidence and diagnosis of the alleged psychological incapacity of Melvin was not shown, and that it may have solely come from the self-serving testimony of Elenita without any further relevant, material and independent evidence or information.[14]
We find for the Republic.
We hold that the evidence presented by Elenita fell short to prove the alleged psychological incapacity of her husband which would render her marriage to him a nullity.
We quote with approval the observation of the OSG, thus:
"While the expertise of the psychologist is not being disputed, his prognosis as to the alleged psychological incapacity of respondent could not be considered as conclusive or reliable, given the source of his information. Considering the importance of his analysis of the psychological make-up of respondent[-appellee Melvin], the psychologist should have stated whether he has exerted effort in gathering relevant, material and reliable information in order to get an accurate psychological evaluation of the subject xxxx."[15]
Indeed, the case of Marcos v. Marcos[16] asserted that there is no requirement that the person to be declared psychologically incapacitated be personally examined by a physician, if the totality of evidence presented is enough to sustain a finding of psychological incapacity. However, it is equally controlling that the presentation of expert testimony is important to establish the precise cause of a party's psychological incapacity, and to show that it existed at the inception of the marriage.[17]
Clearly, before the courts declare a marriage null and void on the ground of psychological inacapacity, even with or without expert testimony of a psychologist, "the evidence must show a link, medical or the like, between the acts that manifest psychological incapacity and the psychological disorder itself."[18]
Hence, if an expert witness is presented, it is noted and emphasized by jurisprudence that the "presentation of expert proof presupposes a thorough and in-depth assessment of the parties by the psychologist or expert, for a conclusive diagnosis of a grave, severe and incurable presence of psychological incapacity."[19]
What it means to have an in-depth analysis, Associate Justice Eduardo Nachura, in the case of Te v. Te,[20] quotes the Psychological Extension Evaluation Research Services (PEERS) which enumerates the segments of the psychological evaluation report for psychological incapacity, to wit:
"Identifying Data: Personal Information
Referral Question: Data coming from informants and significant others (psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, parents, brothers, sisters, relatives, friends, etc.).
Test Administered (Dates): List by name
Current Life Situation: Presenting complaint (personal and marital conflict), history of problem, and consequences in client's life.
Life History Information: Childhood development, educational history, vocational history, medical history, sexual and marital history, personal goals.
Behavior Observations: Description of client, relationship with examiner, and test related behaviors.
Interpretation of Test Results:
Intellectual Functioning: Wechsler tests, Stanford-Binet, etc. Obtained IQ scores and specific strengths and deficits.
Cognitive Functioning: Rorschach, TAT, MMPI, etc. Perception of reality or perceptual efficiency, conceptual organization, psychological needs, conflicts, preoccupations, suspiciousness, hallucinations, or delusions.
Emotional Functioning (MMPI, Rorschach, etc.): Liability of emotions, impulse control, predominant concerns like aggression, anxiety, depression, guilt, dependency, and hostility.
Relationship Patterns (MMPI, Rorschach, TAT, etc.): Problem areas in work or school, friendships, intimate relationships, difficulties such as immaturity, irresponsibility, cooperativeness, sociability, introversion, impulsivity, aggression, dangerousness to self or others.
Defenses and compensations: Evidence of any strength, any coping mechanisms, or any useful compensation that might be helping the client maintain himself/herself.
Integration of Test Results with Life History: Presenting a clinical picture of the client as a total person against the background of his marital discords and life circumstances. Hypotheses posed through the referral question and generated and integrated via test results and other reliable information.
Summary, Conclusion, Diagnosis, Prognosis:
Summary: Emphasis should be on conciseness and accuracy so that the reader can quickly find the essential information and overall impression.
Conclusion: Integrating the material (data) into a more smoothly stated conceptualization of the client's personality and problem areas as regards root causes and characteristics as ground for nullity of marriage.
Diagnosis: Diagnostic impression is evolved form the data obtained, formed impression of personality disorders, and classified mental disorders based on the criteria and multi axial system of the DSM IV.
Prognosis: Predicting the behavior based on the data obtained that are relevant to the current functioning of the client, albeit under ideal conditions.
Recommendation: Providing a careful specific recommendation is based on the referral sources and obtained data in dealing with a particular client that may be ameliorative, remedial, or unique treatment/intervention approaches. As to psychological incapacity, specific recommendation on the nullity of marriage based on Article 36 of the Family Code and expertise and clinical judgment of the Clinical Psychologist should be given emphasis. (Ng, Apruebo & Lepiten, Legal and Clinical Bases of Psychological Incapacity, 2006 ed. pp. 179-181.)"
Taking cue from the pronouncement of Te, the Supreme Court in Suazo v. Suazo[21] evaluated the expert evidence therein whether the same would constitute an in-depth assessment of the parties by the psychologist or expert, in order to come up with a conclusive diagnosis of a psychological incapacity that is grave, severe and incurable.
In the case of Suazo, concluding that the psychologist's testimony and the psychological report did not conclusively show the root cause, gravity and incurability of respondent Angelito's alleged psychological condition, the Supreme Court ratiocinated, thus:
"We first note a critical factor in appreciating or evaluating the expert opinion evidence – the psychologist's testimony and the psychological evaluation report – that Jocelyn presented. Based on her declarations in open court, the psychologist evaluated Angelito's psychological condition only in an indirect manner – she derived all her conclusions from information coming from Jocelyn whose bias for her cause cannot of course be doubted. Given the source of the information upon which the psychologist heavily relied upon, the court must evaluate the evidentiary worth of the opinion with due care and with the application of the more rigid and stringent set of standards outlined above, i.e., that there must be a thorough and in-depth assessment of the parties by the psychologist or expert, for a conclusive diagnosis of a psychological incapacity that is grave, severe and incurable.
In saying this, we do not suggest that a personal examination of the party alleged to be psychologically incapacitated is mandatory; jurisprudence holds that this type of examination is not a mandatory requirement. While such examination is desirable, we recognize that it may not be practical in all instances given the oftentimes estranged relations between the parties. For a determination though of a party's complete personality profile, information coming from persons intimately related to him (such as the party's close relatives and friends) may be helpful. This is an approach in the application of Article 36 that allows flexibility, at the same time that it avoids, if not totally obliterate, the credibility gaps spawned by supposedly expert opinion based entirely on doubtful sources of information.
From these perspectives, we conclude that the psychologist, using meager information coming from a directly interested party, could not have secured a complete personality profile and could not have conclusively formed an objective opinion or diagnosis of Angelito's psychological condition. While the report or evaluation may be conclusive with respect to Jocelyn's psychological condition, this is not true for Angelito's. The methodology employed simply cannot satisfy the required depth and comprehensiveness of examination required to evaluate a party alleged to be suffering from a psychological disorder. In short, this is not the psychological report that the Court can rely on as basis for the conclusion that psychological incapacity exists.
Other than this credibility or reliability gap, both the psychologist's report and testimony simply provided a general description of Angelito's purported anti-social personality disorder, supported by the characterization of this disorder as chronic, grave and incurable. The psychologist was conspicuously silent, however, on the bases for her conclusion or the particulars that gave rise to the characterization she gave. These particulars are simply not in the Report, and neither can they be found in her testimony.
For instance, the psychologist testified that Angelito's personality disorder is chronic or incurable; Angelito has long been afflicted with the disorder prior to his marriage with Jocelyn or even during his early developmental stage, as basic trust was not developed. However, she did not support this declaration with any factual basis. In her Report, she based her conclusion on the presumption that Angelito apparently grew up in a dysfunctional family. Quite noticeable, though, is the psychologist's own equivocation on this point – she was not firm in her conclusion for she herself may have realized that it was simply conjectural. The veracity, too, of this finding is highly suspect, for it was based entirely on Jocelyn's assumed knowledge of Angelito's family background and upbringing.
Additionally, the psychologist merely generalized on the questions of why and to what extent was Angelito's personality disorder grave and incurable, and on the effects of the disorder on Angelito's awareness of and his capability to undertake the duties and responsibilities of marriage.
The psychologist therefore failed to provide the answers to the more important concerns or requisites of psychological incapacity, all of which are critical to the success of Jocelyn's cause."
Verily, if the expert evidence is the basis of the trial court in holding that a party is psychologically incapacitated to perform the essential obligations of marriage, then such evidence must overcome the credibility or reliability gaps spawned by supposedly expert opinion based entirely on doubtful sources of information and must avoid generalizations without specific and factual bases.
In the case at bar, We hold that the evaluation of Dr. Gerong is not enough basis which We can rely on to declare that Elenita's marriage to her husband Melvin is void due to the latter's psychological incapacity.
We observe that the evaluation of psychological make-up of Melvin is based solely on the information coming from Elenita. It would seem that Melvin's personality was created on how Elenita would like him to appear. Using the very words of the Supreme Court, We "do not suggest that a personal examination of the party alleged to be psychologically incapacitated is mandatory; jurisprudence holds that this type of examination is not a mandatory requirement. While such examination is desirable, we recognize that it may not be practical in all instances given the oftentimes estranged relations between the parties. For a determination though of a party's complete personality profile, information coming from persons intimately related to him (such as the party's close relatives and friends) may be helpful."[22]
Likewise, a perusal of the psychology report would reveal that the same contains mere generalizations. It would appear that the conclusion that Melvin is suffering from antisocial personality disorder was merely based on his acts of abandoning his wife and children, failing to financially support his wife and children, and his being a womanizer. It was not clearly shown that his acts are manifestations of antisocial personality disorder and that his acts are clearly linked to such personality disorder. Indeed, Dr. Gerong testified that Melvin's personality disorder is deeply rooted in his childhood considering that the latter came from a dysfunctional family with a father who was a drunkard and abusive. He also testified that Melvin's acts being a personality disorder is a result of his childhood being materially and emotionally deprived. However, this finding is questionable. His conclusion that Melvin came from a dsyfunctional family is not reliable because the very idea of this dysfunctional family came only from the general narrations of Elenita.
It is also clear that the evaluation of seriousness and incurability of the alleged antisocial personality disorder of Melvin is very general. There were no particulars in Dr. Gerong's report, and when asked if the same is curable, his oversweeping answer was "I always have this strong advocacy that personality disorder is always difficult to deal with in terms of therapy."[23]
Further, a perusal of the testimony of Dr. Gerong and his report would show more of the discussion of the concept of antisocial personality disorder. He described a person with such disorder, but there was no in-depth discussion on how and why he considered Melvin to have been suffering from such personality disorder except the general claim that because he is an irresponsible father, an abusive husband, a gambler and a womanizer, he suffers from anti-social personality disorder.
It is not only the testimony and report of Dr. Gerong which created gaps in the cause of Elenita, but also her own testimony.
It would appear that Elenita generally claimed that her husband is an irresponsible father, an abusive husband, a gambler and a womanizer. Sure she cited some instances why she considered her husband as what she described him to be, but a thorough analysis of her testimony would reveal a substantial gap in her life with her husband. It is apparent that she became so much concerned of her husband's alleged personality disorder when she was left by her husband in February 2006. Except her testimony about her husband beating her once before their marriage and her testimony that her husband was already a drunkard and a womanizer prior their marriage, without any particulars, nothing is stated about her husband's personality or attitude prior their marriage and recently thereafter. She actually admitted that her husband changed before their marriage, but she never testified how long this change in the personality of her husband lasted.
It is apparent in Elenita's testimony that what she narrated is only a general picture of her husband constantly abusing her physically and verbally. Whether Melvin's personality existed before the marriage and continued before he left Elenita is not very clear. This created a glaring gap which Elenita failed to present to complete the total picture of her married life and the personality of Melvin. This clear evidentiary gap materially affects Elenita's cause, as the law and its related jurisprudence require that the psychological incapacity must exist at the time of the celebration of the marriage.
Suazo holds that "habitual drunkenness, gambling and refusal to find a job, while indicative of psychological incapacity, do not, by themselves, show psychological incapacity. All these simply indicate difficulty, neglect or mere refusal to perform marital obligations that, as the cited jurisprudence holds, cannot be considered to be constitutive of psychological incapacity in the absence of proof that these are manifestations of an incapacity rooted in some debilitating psychological condition or illness."[24]
The same can be said in this case, Melvin's acts of abandoning his wife and children for another woman; failing to support his family as a result of his affair with another woman; physically and verbally abusing his wife; lacking care to his children, do not by themselves show psychological incapacity.
It bears stressing that psychological incapacity must be more than just a "difficulty," "refusal" or "neglect" in the performance of some marital obligations. Rather, it is essential that the concerned party was incapable of doing so, due to some psychological illness existing at the time of the celebration of the marriage.[25]
While We do not condone Melvin's acts, as We believe that he owes love, respect and fidelity to his wife Elenita, We cannot just severe their ties of marriage, which our Constitution seeks to protect, based solely on the evidence Elenita presented. Since evidence is Our only means to ascertain the truth respecting a matter of fact, then it is only on such evidence presented by the parties do We base Our judgments or decisions. Sadly, We find the totality of evidence presented by Elenita to be too inadequate to declare her husband psychologically unfit pursuant to Article 36 of the Family Code in order to give nullity to their marriage. Her prayer in her petition may not have been granted to her today, but, verily, We have laws which she can invoke to seek redress for the abuses her husband has done to her and her children.
To reiterate, the alleged psychological incapacity of Elenita's husband was not proven to be existing and that the same is attended with gravity, incurability, and juridical antecedence.
WHEREFORE, the instant appeal is GRANTED. The Decision dated April 18, 2011 and Order dated July 6, 2011 of the Regional Trial Court of Lapu-Lapu City, Branch 54, in Civil Case No. R-LLP-08-03075-CV are REVERSED and SET ASIDE.

I won't kid you, weddings can be challenging, costly and all consuming, and as your wedding day looms closer, you will get to a point where you just have to whittle that shortlist down to one and make some serious decisions.
Once those big decisions are all made, you are free to enjoy engaged life with your fiancé and get ridiculously excited about your wedding day, because it will absolutely be, one of the most amazing days you will ever have.
Here's some tips and tricks from the best in the biz to make a sometimes super stressful time, that little bit more manageable. In this post we cover two critical items to kick start the rest of the planning - the venue and the celebrant.


"Dear, there's something I'll like to tell you…" I said in the gloom after waking her up.
My heart was rattling my ribcage.
"It's 1:30am, and this can't wait," came my muted response. I was still waiting for her to regain full consciousness.
She nodded and stared fixedly at me.
"Well, there's something about me I haven't told you." After a beat, I continued, "I'm bisexual. I've had a sexual history with both guys and ladies in the past, but none since we started dating." I said this quickly as I'd rehearsed this speech over and over.
I hadn't been looking at her when I spoke. But when I finished, I turned my eyes to her face to observe her reaction. She looked stunned, and sat there for a moment, speechless and immobile. Then, without saying a word, she pulled the duvet we were sharing to her body, picked up a pillow, stood and proceeded out of the bedroom, headed to the sitting room to sleep. I watched her leave and made no move to stop her. My heart constricted and I wondered if I had lost this woman who had come to mean the world to me. I couldn't sleep anymore and every noise in the house had me looking at the door.
I always drove her to work whenever she spent the night at my place. I began feeling despondent as I listened to her shatter our routine. I turned off the gas cooker and turned to look at her. She quickly turned away and made for the door. I tried to stop her. I reached out and grasped her arm.
And with that, she was gone, with my travelling bag bearing all the clothes and personal items she'd kept over at my place moving in her wake.
"Sir Nuel!" the voice called behind me.
Only students from my previous workplace called me 'Sir'.
"Where are you heading to?" I asked.
"I'm on my way to work. I work at the hospital down the road. I'm on night duty." Her teeth sparkled in a smile as she responded.
And thus began the start of the most beautiful relationship I'd ever had until that early morning.
I kept on trying to reach her the whole day. I called her. No response. I sent SMS. No reply. I left her messages on every social media account we were both on. No wink back from her. On platforms like BBM and Facebook, it was obvious she was seeing the messages. I harboured some hope, seeing as I hadn't been blocked on any of them.
It wasn't until three days later that I got an SMS from her, asking me to meet her at the hotel close to the hospital where she worked by 4pm.
"Is what your fault?" I queried.
"Is it my fault that you're – you know…" She couldn't even say the word.
"That I'm bisexual," I supplied.
She nodded as if saying the word was contagious.
"You of all people should know by now my views on the bible and organised religion as a whole," I interrupted.
"Is it because of this that you have those views about the bible?" she asked.
"Partly because of it and partly because of other reasons," I answered.
"You have my word," I said, mentally crossing my heart.
"Oya, take the bag to the car," she ordered, gesturing to the tote bag she'd come into the bar with.
"Always at your service, my lady," I said, giving a mock salute.
Previous What Do You Think About A Country For Gay People, No Heteros Allowed?
All the same, I kinda still envy you…all the best!!!
The things people say are unbelievable sometimes. He is Bisexual. You know, the B in LGBT? That clearly is the reason he is here on KD. The entitlement of gay men sha.
And really, it seems more like a movie to you? Why? Because he was honest with his fiancée? Apparently, if he was secretive and dishonest with his woman, sneaking around on her, then that would be reality to you? Smh. Like I said, some people are simply unbelievable.
And you don't have to envy him. If you identify as gay, simply find a way to be content with your sexuality, and not measure your contentment according to how well some others are able to be in relationships with women.
Mandy me and you should have lunch sometime. My people will call your people ??
A brother can never win with you people. He keeps a lid on the truth, he is the scum of the earth. He lets the truth out and let is breathe, it becomes a film trick.
What is he doing on KD? I won't dignify ur trumpery with an answer.
For a set of people who defy and stretch the laws of this world and human imagination, we sure have some steep and conventional dictates and demands.
This has got to be one of the top 5 most senseless remarks that i have ever read on KD, aswear.??
It sure takes the cake,I tells ya.
Nice write up Nuel… So how has it been since then? Have you. Even able to keep your promise about not cheating on her with a guy?
As opposed to cheating on her with a girl?
So you were clearly not kidding when you said you'll be writing this series hand-in-hand with Chimamanda Adichie and Chinua Achebe… lol. Clearly a lover of African literature.
Awwwwn!!! Barring a certain lack of curiosity that follows our general outings to straight ppl, this was a very good story. Very clearly an open minded person ur wifey is. But we already know this.
Your cynical "generalising" is duly noted.?
Darn!!! You caught me. I serzly wonder why I had thought, of all KDians, u'd be last to latch on that fact?
I still don't fully understand what format this series would be following (story telling alone or woven with articles detailing ideas), but from today's entry, my bags are packed and I'm ready to be taken on a journey.
Story telling! Make what you want out of the stories.
Egbon, biko na u be Nuel spokes person abi kini?
I don agree to get patience and follow the matter as e unfold. Shey I no fit think out loud while at it?
Hian this thing called love,me i cannot wait to know what it is all about biko!and uncle Nuel one can only wish and pray for someone which such understanding and Heart like sister Nurse!enjoy….
Two years later….. they got married. Go Nuel!!!


The 8-mile-long Hardwood Creek Trail begins where the Sunrise Prairie Trail ends, so cyclists can pedal nearly 25 miles on one cycling excursion. Beginning just across the highway from the end of the Sunrise Prairie Trail in Forest Lake, the Hardwood Creek Trail ends in Hugo.
The trail ends in Hugo; there's a parking area on the west side of the trail that you can use as a trailhead, but there are no toilets or water.
The 16.2-mile long Sunrise Prairie Trail, bathed in sunshine and skirting prairie lands, travels through some of the wide open areas north of the Metro area that blend developed and undeveloped lands. Although the trail is nestled between I-35 and Hwys. 30/61, road noise isn't that much different than other paved trails.
The trailhead in North Branch is at the intersection of Hwys. 95 and 30 where there's plenty of parking, several picnic tables and a spacious public bathroom that's perfect for changing.

Stabilizing the quarterback situation a priority for new Gators coach Dan Mullen
Garry Smits
GAINESVILLE | University of Florida football coach Dan Mullen already had a solid reputation for developing and working with quarterbacks before he became the head coach at Mississippi State in 2010.
Two of the quarterbacks with whom he worked an an offensive coordinator under Urban Meyer, Alex Smith at Utah and Tim Tebow at the University of Florida, not only set numerous records and led those schools to championship, but were first-round NFL draft picks.
But Smith and Tebow were labeled as nearly can't-miss prospects coming out of high school. Most competent offensive coordinators would likely have found success at the college level with those two.
It's been at Mississippi State the last nine years that Mullen has enhanced his reputation as a master offensive mind and a quarterback guru. Never once did he have a prospect anywhere near the five-star level of Tebow.
"Dan understands how to coach and mentor quarterbacks and build championship-level expectations and deliver them on and off the field," Tebow said in a statement on Monday, when Mullen was introduced as the new Gators coach.
While Mullen has produced only one quarterback at Mississippi State who is currently in the NFL, Dak Prescott of Dallas, he's done his job as a college coach in finding prospects, honing their minds and physical skills, and producing potent offenses.
One of his keys has been stability at the position. Mullen had only six starting quarterbacks in nine years in Starkville, and one of them, Damian Williams, had one start. The other five — Prescott, Nick Fitzgerald, Tyler Russell, Chris Relf and Tyson Lee — averaged more than 25 starts each at MSU.
Over the same time frame, the University of Florida started 11 quarterbacks.
The quarterbacks that Mullen has coached for the Bulldogs hold the vast majority of the school's passing and total offense records. The top-five seasons in school history for total offense were set under Mullen. MSU lists 20 individual passing records in its media guide and Mullen-coached quarterbacks hold 18 of them.
"Mississippi State football history, which I'm well versed in having grown up in the state … there were not very many quarterbacks of note until Dan showed up," said UF athletic director Scott Stricklin, who worked with Mullen at MSU. "It was obvious how important that position was at having any chance of any success at this level. You've got to have a quarterback, and Dan obviously had a run of them there."
Mullen also developed quarterbacks who weren't exactly national prospects. The prime example is Fitzgerald, of Richmond Hill, Ga., who received only one other offer from a Football Bowl Subdivision school — Middle Tennessee.
Fitzgerald has started 25 games in two seasons and has thrown for 1,782 yards and 15 touchdowns and run for 984 yards and 14 TDs this year. He leads all SEC quarterbacks in rushing.
Of the other two MSU quarterbacks Mullen recruited, Prescott was a three-star prospect and Russell a four-star.
Stricklin said Mullen's way with quarterbacks was an important factor in his hiring.
"We came back to that a lot," he said. "People point to the issues we've had here at Florida recently on that. That has got to be something every coach has got to be able to answer, how they're going to manage that position and make sure they're as good as possible in that position. Dan's track record speaks for itself. It's pretty remarkable what he's done."
Mullen said there shouldn't be a natural assumption that Feleipe Franks, a pro-style quarterback who struggled for the Gators this season, or verbal commitment Matt Corral of California, also a pro-style quarterback recruited by former coach Jim McElwain, won't have a chance to play for him if he signs with the Gators.
Mullen said a spread offense isn't exclusive to dual-threat quarterbacks and pointed out that he and Meyer successfully converted Chris Leak to the spread during UF's first national championship under that staff.
"I think we can create an offense around some skill sets at quarterbacks because if you look at all the different quarterbacks that I've had throughout the years, there's not a prototype," Mullen said. "They are all different shapes and sizes with different skill sets and we've still been successful with them.
In grooming a college quarterback, Mullen said he looks for the head and the heart and goes on from there.
"It starts with mental and physical toughness, because that's the guy that is the leader of your program," Mullen said. "They have to able to handle what it takes to be here and to lead this team and set that standard and set that bar extremely high for our players. They have to have tremendous leadership."
Mullen said the next step is being able to process and make decisions quickly, which he said is the hardest thing for a coach to evaluate.
"It's one thing talking about football or drawing up plays on a board," he said. "But when you have about 1.2 seconds before a 300-pound guy is about to hit you right in the face, it's really important how you can process everything that's going on out there on that field."
Mullen also looks for intelligence.
"The smarter the quarterbacks are, the more we can do," he said.
The final pieces of the puzzle are the physical. Mullen wants quarterbacks to be able to throw first, and throw accurately. While some may find it odd for a spread coach to say this, Mullen said running ability is the last piece of the puzzle.
"If you can run, that's a bonus," he said.
One example of a quarterback at MSU who had a minimal impact as a runner was Russell, who threw for 5,558 career yards and 42 touchdowns for the Bulldogs and ran for only 117 yards and three TDs. But as a senior in 2012, the Bulldogs were 8-5 with Russell playing and reached the TaxSlayer Bowl.
The sum total should equal winner, in the ideal situation.
"Every quarterback that I've had, they are a winner," he said. "If you want to take Alex Smith out of the Kansas City Chiefs, he's probably running a corporation somewhere or he's a doctor or a lawyer. If you want to describe Tim Tebow in a word, a lot of people would pick winner. Chris Leak was a winner here for us. Dak Prescott's a winner. And it's not just at football. That's their personalities at life; that whatever they are going to do, they are going to be successful at."

$4.5 million for IMB-led discovery research
IMB researchers have been awarded $4.5 million by the Australian Research Council to lead a range of groundbreaking discovery research projects.
The ARC announced funding of more than $37 million today for UQ projects spanning fields as diverse as humanities, behavioural science, biomedicine and frontier technologies.
IMB projects will explore growing and regenerating damaged heart tissue, reveal the inner workings of our innate immune system, use big data to investigate the biological content in our soil and water, and establish Queensland's first Lattice Light Sheet Microscope facility.
IMB Director Professor Brandon Wainwright congratulated IMB's successful project teams.
"Despite the growing competition for research funding in Australia, IMB continued to perform above the national success rate," Professor Wainwright said.
"These important grants will not only support some of our most exciting research projects, but they will also allow us to invest in world-class research infrastructure and support the next generation of research leaders."
A full list of UQ's ARC-funded projects can be found here.
Discovery Project highlights
Dr Kelly Smith & Dr Nathan Palpant
Understanding the differentiation of the endocardium
The endocardium lines the inside of the heart and is the interface between circulating blood and beating heart muscle. Defects in this tissue are a major cause of death and disease and yet we have a poor understanding about the genetic cues that govern endocardial development, a limitation toward ongoing efforts in cardiac tissue engineering and regenerative stem cell therapies. This project aims to understand the genetic regulation of endocardial development and create new knowledge about how the heart is formed as a step toward growing and regenerating damaged heart tissue.
Associate Professor Lachlan Coin & Dr Minh Duc Cao
Sequencing and assembling meta-genomes of microbial community in real-time
The study of microbial communities in an environmental sample largely depends on the ability to assembly metagenomes, which is time-consuming and error-prone using existing short read sequencing approaches. This project will develop novel computational and statistical methodologies to assemble metagenomes from long-read nanopore sequence data in real-time, making metagenomics analysis portable, rapid and cost-effective. It will enable scientists to conveniently investigate the biological content in our soil and water to enhance our understanding of these resources. This will lead to better solutions to protect our precious resources.
Associate Professor Matt Sweet
Demystifying histone deacetylase functions in immune cells
One of the great challenges in the field of cell biology is to understand how diverse extracellular stimuli use a limited number of signalling pathways to generate so many distinct biological effects. There is an amazing complexity to how cells interpret and integrate diverse environmental cues. One of the most important cellular responses is that of innate immunity, an exquisitely sensitive system that must detect and react to a wide array of dangers. Innate immunity thus provides an ideal model to tackle fundamental questions about the triggers that lead to signal diversity.
Professor Richard Lewis & Dr Sebastien Dutertre
Evolution of defensive and predatory venom in cone snails
We discovered that cone snails can switch venoms in response to predatory or defensive stimuli, implying these are separately evolved and regulated mechanisms. We aim to determine the evolutionary and cellular origins of predatory and defensive venoms and mechanisms regulating their release. The outcomes of this program will include important new knowledge relating to novel molecular structures (conotoxins) and new pharmacological tools, which will contribute to early-stage identification of lead molecules for drug development in a wide range of health treatments.
Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities grant highlights
Professor Paul Alewood, Professor David Craik, Professor Richard Lewis, Professor Glenn King, and colleagues at University of the Sunshine Coast and Southern Cross University
Deep Protein Sequencing, Structure and Quantification Facility
The Deep Protein Sequencing, Structure and Quantification Facility will provide researchers with qualitative and quantitative insights into molecular structure and interactions, post-translational modifications, compound stability and availability within complex biological samples. The complementary infrastructure will deliver a unique facility for translational research in biodiscovery and a world-class training environment for postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers in biological mass spectrometry.
Future Fellowship highlights
Dr Guillermo Gomez
The mechanochemical basis of cell polarity
Understanding how polarity is defined and initiated in epithelial tissues is essential knowledge that will inform efforts to manipulate epithelia in a variety of disciplines from tissue engineering to regenerative biology and contribute to our appreciation of how epithelial architecture and physiology is generated. By investigating the mechanochemical basis of symmetry breaking in the cellular cortex, a thin layer of actomyosin filaments underneath the plasma membrane, and how this leads to the formation of signalling zones in it, this Fellowship will address a major question in biology that has remained resistant to conventional biochemical, cell biological and genetic approaches: how is polarization initiated in epithelial cells?
Dr Christina Schroeder
The potential of membranes – peptide engineering to modulate ion channels
Sodium channels are involved in almost all aspects of human physiology. The ability to truly selectively inhibit individual sodium channel subtypes and to understand what drives peptides' ability to interact with membranes and cross cells would be a great accomplishment, which would open the door for the development of neuroscience research tools and technologies. This program aims to develop a platform technology necessary for the identification of novel and selective sodium channel inhibitors based on ultra-stable venom peptides with the ability to interact with and cross cells. The development of this technology is of great scientific interest suitable for translation into new knowledge highly relevant to the biotechnology industry.

How to handle Queueable executions in order to track errors and launch again.
When using Queuable Interface to execute business logic or whatever you need, I found no way to know about a possible fail of the execution, except for the "Apex Exception Email" option, but it's not very useful, yes… there may be some stacktrace, but I miss some execution log, related record ids and any other business data which helps you to retake the process on the same point it failed.
In the same way aspects work in the Java world I will wrap the business Queuable execute method with some code making the magic.
This code will catch any Exception thrown by the business Queueable execute and will log it to a Custom Object, I named Queue Monitor, serializing the Queuable Job using JSON, this serialization will allow us to launch again the job with the same parameters it failed, also it will be easy to copy the failure's records to a Full Sandbox and reproduce it.
Hope you find this useful, enjoy with Force.com.

What is the ruling on non-Muslims having Temples, Churches and Synagogues in Muslim lands?
Are non Muslims allowed to build, repair or worship in places such as Churches, Temples and Synagogues in Muslim occupied lands, if they are living under Muslims as Dhimmis or have a peace treaty with them?!
fiqh non-muslim other-religions ahlul-kitab
UmH
JaffaJaffa
I think this is relevant to (if not a dupplicate of) islam.stackexchange.com/questions/28103/… – Medi1Saif♦ Aug 19 '16 at 5:18
The Ahl al-Dhimma are permitted to worship according to their religion, because peace has been made with them on the condition of paying Jizyah and not on the condition of abandoning their religion.
قاتلوا ... حتى يعطوا الجزية
Fight ... until they give the jizyah
— Quran 9:29
فإن هم أبوا فسلهم الجزية فإن هم أجابوك فاقبل منهم وكف عنهم
If they refuse, then ask them to pay Jizyah. If they respond, then accept it from them and refrain from (fighting) them.
— Muslim
Because of the same, they will be permitted to use and maintain any existing Churches or Synagogues. Also because the Quran has attached blame to their destruction and tasked the believers with their defense:
ولولا دفع الله الناس بعضهم ببعض لهدمت صوامع وبيع وصلوات ومساجد يذكر فيها اسم الله كثيرا
And were it not that Allah checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of Allah is much mentioned.
— Quran 22:40
تضمنت هذه الآية المنع من هدم كنائس أهل الذمة ، وبيعهم ، وبيوت نيرانهم
Included in this verse is the prohibition of demolishing the the churches of the ahl al-Dhimma, and their synagogues and temples
— Tafsir al-Qurtubi
في الآية دليل على أن هذه المواضع المذكورة لا يجوز أن تهدم على من كان له ذمة أو عهد من الكفار
This verse contains evidence that it is not permissible to demolish the mentioned places of worship, when they belong to the Dhimmis or those disbelievers with whom we have a treaty
— Tafsir al-Jassas
As for construction of new places of worship, the ruling depends on the place and how it came under Islamic rule.
In a Muslim settlement, or one which was founded by Muslims: They will not be permitted to build new places of worship, as we can not be abetting the propagation of Kufr.
It comes under the general prohibition of the verse:
ولا تعاونوا على الإثم والعدوان
Do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
— Quran 5:2
And is corroborated by the ahadith:
لا تبنى كنيسة في دار الإسلام، ولا يجدد ما خرب منها
A Church\Synagogue shall not be built in the Dar al-Islam, nor will a ruined one be restored
— Al-Jaami' al-Kabir
لا إخصاء في الإسلام، ولا بنيان كنيسة
There is no castration in Islam, nor building of a Church\Synagogue
— Sunan Kubra al-Bayhaqi
Furthermore, scholars have claimed consensus on this matter.
In a territory which was conquered by military force: The land again has become the property of the Muslims and so it is impermissible to give it for construction of places of worship.
In a territory that was obtained by a treaty whereby the inhabitants keep the land and pay Kharaj: They will be free to build new places of worship as they own the land.
In a territory that was obtained by a treaty whereby the Muslims will own the land and the inhabitants will pay Jizyah: In this case they will not be permitted to build new places of worship, unless they make it a condition in the treaty.

Sure it is permissible. When Islam accords acceptance to the practice of faith of its non-Muslim citizens then it is obviously rational to allow them to build their prayer houses and upkeep of them. Under Muslim rule, their protection would be the responsibility of the Muslim government. Prophet, in war situations, has categorically ordered not to destroy the worshipping places of non-Muslims, not to kill or harm their religious (non-Combatant) men.

Terrible Sanity
Terrible Sanity is wondrous sanity. Pickering's essays are acetaminophen for hippish days. "Life doesn't have a neat beginning and a tidy end," Roger, a character in V. S. Naipaul's Half a Life, says. "Life is always going on." In this collection, Pickering depicts the joy and sadness of life's going on. Great knowledge often brings small pleasure while the small knowledge that all people experience brings great pleasure. A dental hygienist tells him that every day patients greet her on the street and in stores. "Their faces are always unfamiliar, and I never recognize them," she says, "but if they opened their mouths wide, I'd know them immediately." For the record she also volunteers that in twenty years of tooth-scrubbing, she had only been bitten once.

Pickering is nomadic, and his essays explore place and thought. He quotes the old Afghan proverb that doing good to the wicked is doing evil to the good. He discusses how to teach and avoid becoming an inspiration. He describes "Smoking Allowed Churches" and suggests replacing the mealy phrase student athlete with the more accurate entertainer athlete. He notes that people of a certain age attend funerals not to mourn the deceased but to see how many of their mutual friends are still alive and almost kicking. A reviewer once called him "the last Southwestern humorist," and he is an exhilarating teller of tall tales, Mark Twain's stretchers. He is also an omnivorous reader reaping pleasure from both the famous and the lesser known, an example of the latter being the romance novel with the enticing title The Billionaire in Penthouse B.
He is also an amateur naturalist, and animal familiars wander through his days like characters from children's books, backyard rabbits, foxes, reclusive opossums, lonely deer, and ill-mannered skunks. He watches birds. Flowers illuminate his paragraphs and trees grow bosky on the margins of his pages. Down in the soiling dirt is where most gods live, rooting and flowering, dying, and being reborn, he writes. Consequently, he avoids arid heights where dogma flourishes.
No book or person is a "thing of beauty or joy forever," but some books sparkle and so entertain that they brighten the passing hours. Terrible Sanity is just such a book.
Sam Pickering was born and raised in Nashville, but he has spent the past fifty years of his life living and teaching in New England, most of these last years at the University of Connecticut. He resembles an old tree knobby with burls of books and worm holed by hundreds of articles and reviews but thriving, host to greening mosses, startling polypore funguses, and to paragraphs rich with observations and thoughts. "Writing," he once wrote, "has enriched, if not made my life—not quite as enriching as dressing a field with manure, but nevertheless enabling me to harvest almost endless nourishing days. I hope my pages will similarly perk up readers' curiosities if not their digestions. If they don't fancy corn or cornpone, maybe apples will do. 'Of all the delicacies which Britons try / To please the palate or delight the eye,' William King wrote at the end of the seventeenth century. 'Of all the sev'ral kinds of sumptuous fare, / There is none that can with Apple pie compare.'"
This is the second of Sam Pickering's books published through Madville Publishing. The first being The World Was My Garden, Too. He is also one of the judges for the upcoming essay anthology, Being Home.

If you're looking for a professional search marketing company to manage your Pay-Per-Click (PPC) activities, you're not alone. More and more dealerships are turning to search marketing companies to help develop and oversee their PPC campaigns, and the benefits of doing so are becoming increasingly clear.
Advanced lead tracking software allows search marketing companies to tell dealers exactly how much money they are spending and exactly how many website visits, phone leads, and e-mail leads they are getting as a result. Never before has this much information been available to dealers, and never before have they been able to make such educated decisions regarding where to spend their advertising funds.
They Can Prove How Your Budget is Being Spent - For whatever reason, some search marketing companies don't offer up a lot of details when it comes time to show you how your budget is being spent. Steer clear of agencies that want a monthly check but are unwilling to offer detailed reports showing you how, when, and where they're spending your money.
They Won't Overspend - Many dealerships pay too much per click due to poorly managed campaigns and amateurish strategies. While a few cents here and there doesn't seem like much, it definitely adds up over time, amounting to thousands of dollars per year. Properly managed PPC campaigns will reduce how much you are paying for each click and therefore can get you significantly more clicks for your money. Don't waste your dealership's advertising budget on an unproven search marketing agency. Make sure the company you choose has a fully staffed and experienced PPC team that can deliver genuine results.
They Offer Automotive Industry Integration - The more familiar a search marketing company is with the automotive industry, the better their platform will work for your dealership. A great PPC management company will provide you with metrics that are specifically tailored to a car dealership. For example, with their lead tracking system they should be able to tell you what you're paying per phone call and e-mail lead, what your lead conversion rate is, and sometimes they might even provide you with a call recording system so you can see how well your sales calls are being handled.
They Practice Deep-Linking - The subject of deep-linking could be an entire article in itself, but the important thing to know is that PPC ads that are optimized to the URL structure of the dealer's website and direct visitors to inventory pages instead of to the dealership's homepage increase Google Quality Scores. Higher Quality Scores lead to lower cost per click rates and in most cases result in superior ad placement and increased leads.
In summary, with a PPC campaign managed by a quality search marketing company, you'll be able to see for yourself that Pay-Per-Click advertising provides dealerships with a higher return on investment than any other type of advertising. Beware, however, that not all PPC agencies are equal. Keep the above seven characteristics in mind to ensure that the one you select is the best choice for your dealership.

The week's weather remained dry and rather cloudy under the influence of a high pressure system to the north-east, allowing an easterly airstream to become established throughout the period. While the east coast fared well for migrants, Northants failed to deliver any surprises, leaving observers somewhat vexed as they struggled to find anything outstanding. Even the extensive mud exposed at Hollowell Reservoir – arguably the county's best wader habitat at present – failed to pull.
Much of the same old stuff remained from last week, namely the two Barnacle Geese at Hollowell and the two Ruddy Shelducks at Pitsford Res – where the lingering flock of Red-crested Pochards swelled to thirteen on 15th – while an eclipse drake of the latter species was found at Stanford Res on 13th and the leucistic bird remained at Clifford Hill GP.
More dwelling ducks included up to two Garganeys at Summer Leys and one at Ravensthorpe Res all week and another visited Pitsford Res on 14th, while two Pintails were at Stanford Res on 13th-15th and up to two visited Pitsford Res between 14th and 17th.
The latter site continued to host last week's Great White Egret and another was photographed in flight over Thrapston GP on 18th, while the smart adult Red-necked Grebe continued to delight visitors to Daventry CP throughout the period.
'Cream-crown' Marsh Harriers visited Blueberry Farm, Maidwell on 15th and 18th and another was at Thrapston GP on 17th but the only Peregrine reported was the regularly visiting female at Blueberry Farm on four dates during the week. And so on to waders … This week's highlight was a nice, scaly juvenile Curlew Sandpiper, present for just one day – the 15th – on the muddy spit between the dam and Moulton Grange Bay at Pitsford Res.
The same small area attracted up to six Ruffs and a Dunlin. Further Dunlin included four at Clifford Hill GP on 19th and singles, all on 15th, at Ravensthorpe Res and Clifford Hill GP and two at Ditchford GP, while the same date saw single Ruffs at Ravensthorpe Res, Stanford Res and Clifford Hill GP and two at Hollowell Res; there were also three at Clifford Hill on 19th. Two juvenile Little Ringed Plovers were at Clifford Hill GP on 13th-19th and single Ringed Plovers visited Hollowell Res and Stanwick GP on 15th. Two Black-tailed Godwit dropped in at Clifford Hill GP on 13th where a Little Stint was found two days later. One or two Common Sandpipers were present at six localities with five at Daventry CP on 15th, while Green Sandpipers this week numbered no more than two at Pitsford Res, Ravensthorpe Res and Daventry CP. Just one Greenshank made it on to the week's list with Daventry CP being the favoured locality on 18th and only one Redshank was found, at Pitsford Res, on 15th, while up to four Common Snipe were at Daventry CP, Pitsford Res and Stanwick GP and three at Clifford Hill GP.
A first-winter Mediterranean Gull was at Daventry CP on 15th along with a juvenile Caspian Gull with more of the latter species including one on the same date at Stanwick GP, where there were five present on 18th. Apart from two adults at Pitsford Res and the regular adult at Hollowell Res, the only other Yellow-legged Gulls were represented by a sizeable count of approximately ninety at Stanwick GP on 18th.
Pretty much the same species of passerines topped the bill as last week including, remarkably – hot on the heels of Northamptonshire's third – another Northern Willow Warbler trapped and ringed at Stanford Res on 13th.
A Turtle Dove was at Harrington AF on 18th with the same site hosting a Common Redstart on 16th-18th, while up to two were in the Brampton Valley/Blueberry Farm area for most of the week and one visited Stanford Res on 15th. Up to six Whinchats were also in the vicinity of Blueberry Farm, as was a Stonechat, while the only other Whinchat was one at Stanwick GP on 15th. Northern Wheatears remained thin on the ground with one at Hollowell Res on 17th and two at Harrington AF on 17th-18th while a White Wagtail was identified at Clifford Hill GP on 15th and migrant Tree Pipits this week included singles on 18th at Harrington AF, Daventry CP and Blueberry Farm, Maidwell.

A farmer in China has invented a turbine powered car. After the car reaches 40 MPH, a turbine on the nose of the car kicks in and powers it, up to 70 MPH. He is said to have made the car for $1,600.00.
Interesting idea. I'd love to have one myself.

<1> A demonym is the name for a resident of a community which is usually derived from (or is related to) the name of that community. In other words, it's how the residents of Moncton refer to themselves. It's important to note that there aren't any rules for taking a city's name and turning it into a demonym. A demonym is informal and while the majority of Moncton may use one name, keep in mind that others may use something different.
<2> The Canadian Postal Code consists of 6 characters, where the first three characters are the 'Forward Sortation Area (FSA)', with the last three characters being the 'Local Delivery Unit (LDU)'. In the case of Moncton, we provide only the FSA and not the LDU. The Canadian Postal Codes were created as a way of grouping addresses to make delivery more efficient. So keep in mind that any given Postal Code is only 'loosely' associated with a community (such as Moncton). The boundaries of the Postal Code can be changed, re-assigned, eliminated or overlapped with other Postal Codes. When looking for a Postal Code, whether Moncton or elsewhere, it's always best to check the website of the Canada Post / Postes Canada.
<3> Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Moncton) to Point B.If you need the driving distance (or directions), we recommend that you use one of the Mapping Services listed on our Map Page for Moncton. Since we usually use Google Maps, we've provided the following link for your convenience: Google Map and Driving Directions starting from MonctonOur distance measurements begin at a specific point in Moncton. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 46.0971, Longitude: -64.7716
<4> If we have found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database.


The latest release of the Interactive Advertising Bureau's quarterly survey (carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers) continues to paint a picture of strong growth for online advertising in New Zealand, with online ad spend up 16% on the previous quarter.
While all categories of online spending recorded substantial growth (search and directories up 14.8%, display ad spending up 28.48%, and classifieds growing 6.87%), mobile ad expenditure's growth of 150% was one of the standout findings of the survey. The growth in mobile ad spend reflects what we are seeing in other related areas, with smartphone penetration rising in New Zealand and more New Zealand businesses subsequently adopting strategies aimed at making the most of our uptake of mobile technology.
According to Chris Perree (Partner at PwC) "Advertisers continue to follow consumers online and are experiencing the value of having an online presence in their respective channels to deliver messages to targeted audiences. Social media and mobile channels continue to attract online advertising and demonstrate the growth potential in mobile advertising."
Although a significant proportion of New Zealanders' mobile use is currently SMS and voice based, a quick check of Google Analytics data for our clients suggests that Internet browsing on mobile devices is also growing strongly. For the March 12 - June 12 quarter more than 10% of visits to our clients' websites were from mobile devices - a huge jump from the figure of 2.8% for same quarter in 2011 and a trend that business owners cannot ignore.

You are allowed ONE vehicle that does NOT need to be street legal, however you must pay $2,500 per day of use (for up to 6 hours) as the maintenance, setup, fuel, tires, and garaging are all done by the track/event and a dedicated technician it is kept by. It is YOUR car though, so make it worth the service charge.
Another vehicle needs to be something you keep at home and is dedicated to whatever type of track or specialised driving you choose. All upkeep is on you though.
The last vehicle needs to be able to be driven from your home to the course and back without any assisting vehicles and carrying all the equipment you would need for the day.
Im curious about what car you would be willing to spend at least $2,500 just to experience. But if there isnt a car then double up on one of the other two categories. Show us your dream toybox and as always, enjoy yo'selves!


Buying a horse is an intimidating thing to do, especially if it is your first horse. The main thing to do is to always take someone along with you who knows what they are looking for when you are buying a horse and never, ever part with money until a vet has examined your new friend.
There are many pitfalls to avoid as you would expect with such a major purchase. Most people within the horse riding fraternity can be trusted, but there are always going to be unscrupulous people to look out for.
Watch out for sellers who do not know the history of the horse they are selling. There may be a perfectly good reason for this but it is never a good idea to buy from them in case they are hiding details for a reason.
Sellers who don't want you to visit a second time should also be avoided. If the horse is already saddled when you get there you should see it when it is not. If they do not want you to then there is a reason for it – the horse may become unruly or reluctant to be saddled.
Auctions should be treated with care. If you are planning to buy at auction you should always research the horse beforehand. Sometimes, horses can appear dazed at the actual auction, because of travelling, and they could have been given a tranquiliser to calm them down so this will all need to be checked out.
Be careful about impulse buys. It is easy to fall in love with a horse – they are beautiful animals. But once you have bought the animal you may not bond because you are different in temperament and then you will have a problem and will probably have to sell.
As with any major purchase there is a checklist you should follow before you complete the deal. Always make sure you know the horse's age and check its suitability and disposition. Ask what it has been used for in the past and look at its general condition including alertness and its coat. When your vet examines it, they should be looking at the eyes, ears, organs, limbs and movement. They will also check for parasites, including worms and ticks.
The horse should be trialled thoroughly before you agree to any sale. But never get on the horse yourself straightaway. Ask the seller to ride it and see how it responds to being handled and ridden. When you have decided it is safe to do so, then mount the horse yourself and ride it to see how it feels to you. If you are still interested, then ask to take the horse home for a visit of a few days so the two of you have chance to interact in a more natural setting. You will be able to get a much better idea of what the horse is actually like than on a brief visit to the seller's stable.
The golden rule is to check and check again. Especially if you are buying from classifieds – as you have no comeback if something goes wrong. A second opinion is always good, particularly if you are not sure about what you are looking for yourself. Remember a horse is an animal. You may or may not suit each other and this should be your primary concern for a happy and long-lasting partnership.

Any Other Questions with... Lewis Capaldi
Lewis Capaldi tackles this month's daft queries.
Sign up or log in to follow artists
Published: 11:38 am, July 03, 2019Words: Martyn Young.
This month, Lewis Capaldi runs the gauntlet of our random, stupid queries.
What is your favourite smell?
Petrol.
What was the last thing your broke?
A pair of glasses, with my fat arse.
Tell us a secret about yourself?
I have a birthmark on my arse, and at the moment I have an anal fissure.
What's your favourite flavour of ice cream?
Vanilla. Just like my music.
What did you last dream about?
A girl in my high school who is alive but I dreamed she died. It was quite a sad one but I woke up, and she's still alive, so it's fine.
What's the best present you've ever been given?
My first guitar: the guitar that started me out on the path to self-discovery. I don't have it; I lost it. I threw it in the bin, unfortunately. I don't think you'll get millions for it though. Maybe a couple of hundred pounds if you're lucky.
If you could win a lifetime supply of anything, what would you choose?
Crisps. I quite like the sweet chilli Sensations. I also like Worcester sauce and prawn cocktail Walkers. Anything that stinks, I'm in.
How excited are you for one of your songs to soundtrack a particularly emotional dumping on Love Island?
I'm very excited. We did send them music last year, and they never played it, but I hope it happens. I can't wait to see someone SUFFER with my music in the background.
Have you ever had an imaginary friend?
No, I haven't because I live in the real world.
What have you got in your pockets right now?
A wallet and a receipt for petrol, which I also enjoy smelling.
What would you do if you were Prime Minister for a day?
I'd make it compulsory and make it law that you had to buy my single on that day, and I'd just be loaded.
When did you last feel guilty about something?
I had a Domino's pizza last night, and I felt guilty because I'm trying to be healthy. It was a cheese pizza with jalapenos and some herbs and onions.
When was the last time you said, "Do you know who I am?"?
Never. Unless I was visiting an elderly relative.
What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?
I was in secondary school, in second-year physics class sitting next to my good friend Connor who I'm still friends with to this day. I farted and shit my pants and had to go to the toilet to take them off. Only he knows about that until I've told you right now.
Also, when I was 16, I went out to a club where I'm from. My mum knew where I was but she said to be home by 1 and I said, "Fuck off mum, I'm not going to be home then". I'm joking; she would kill me. She text me at 1, saying, "Where the fuck are ye?" Then at 2, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and it was my mum inside the club. She barged in and pulled me out by the scruff of my neck in front of all my friends and shouted to the bouncer, "Don't ever let him in here again, he's 16 years old!"
Who's your most impressive showbiz friend?
I'm friends with Niall Horan. He's quite a cool guy.
Who's your favourite pop star?
I really like Ariana Grande. She's very good. She has one of the best voices ever. She dances really well, and she seems lovely.
Do you believe in aliens?
Yeah, in some description I guess. I don't know in what capacity. Aliens could be a fungus on another planet for me.
Have you ever had any spooky encounters?
Nah, I think the aliens have heard about my anal fissure and don't want to probe me.
How punk are you out of 10?
Zero. Wasn't it Avril Lavigne who said it's not punk to say you're punk? So I'm saying zero cos of Avril Lavigne. A real punk.
What TV show would you like to guest star in?
Springwatch. I'd like it to be a crossover episode with Crimewatch. CrimeSpringwatch. Crimes only committed in spring.
Is 'Mambo No. 5' a good song?
Yes. A little bit of Monica in my life, a little bit of Erica by my side, a little bit of Tina's what I need, a little bit of Sandra in the sun, a little bit of Mary all night long, a little bit of Jessica here I am, a little bit of you makes me your man! I'd kill that in a cover, Radio 1 live lounge next time.

As a maritime industry player on the African continent and the Indian Ocean Island region, a priority for the team at AMSOL is sharing their knowledge and experience with those new to the industry and calling on other experienced maritime experts to do the same.
On the 19th and 20th of November, AMSOL hosted a 'Marine Emergency Response & Salvage Seminar' in Cape Town, South Africa. With more than 60 delegates in attendance, the seminar was aimed at sharing information about the world of emergency response and salvage, types of casualties, contracting and roles and responsibilities during a salvage operation.
Guest presenters included IMOrg and SAMSA Representative Captain Ravi Naicker, P&I Associates' Michael Heads, Special Casualty Representative Pim Zandee, SMIT Salvage's Richard Robertson, Thembani Shipping's Thami Gcaba and SAMSA's Captain Saroor.


In the ever-lasting battle against the environment, lawmakers are currently trying to overhaul the Endangered Species Act of 1973. This act provides states with financial assistance and incentives to prevent the extinction of native and foreign animals. It has been critical in preventing the extinction of several American species such as the bald eagle (delisted in 2007) and the grizzly bear (delisted in 2017).
The Trump administration has proposed a plan that would consider the costs involved with adding a new species to the list before the government invests in saving it. This plan could pave the way for industries to use their own biased studies to either delist species or prevent species from being added to the list in areas where they do business. Supporters of the bill say it will help out businesses like oil, logging, and ranching.
