Two arrested in NZ's largest-ever cocaine seizure found hidden inside diamante-horse sculpture
News article photos, audio and videos (4 items)
Home > News > Two arrested in NZ's largest-ever cocaine seizure found hidden inside diamante-horse sculpture
A joint Customs and Police investigation has resulted in the largest-ever seizure of cocaine in New Zealand, worth an estimated street value of $14 million NZ dollars. (Pictures available and video expected to be available in a few hours)
In early May, Customs officers focussed on a 400 kg sculpture of a diamante-encrusted horse, which had been freighted into the country from Mexico. Their suspicions were confirmed when inside the horses head were 35 bricks of high-grade cocaine.
A subsequent joint investigation has today resulted in the arrest of three men with the smuggling attempt.
Officers from the Police Organised Crime team arrested two men last night at Auckland International Airport and a search warrant is being carried out this morning at a residential address in Te Atatu.
The men, a 44 year-old Mexican national and a 56 year-old US national have been charged with the following and will appear in the Manukau District Court this morning.
- Importing a Class A drug, namely cocaine.
- Possession for supply of a class A drug, namely cocaine.
Officers from Christchurch Police are also carrying search warrants at two residential address in Worcester St, Linwood, and two men and a woman are speaking with Police.
Importing the class A drug cocaine is punishable by life imprisonment.
"This is obviously an extremely large amount of cocaine, and in the past we've only found very small amounts of this drug. Prior to this, the average amount of cocaine seized by Police each year was around 250 grams. What this find tells us though is that there is obviously a demand for it. While it's possible that this statue may have been sent on to another country, but there's every possibility that the cocaine was destined for the New Zealand market and we would be naïve to think otherwise" says Detective Senior Sergeant Colin Parmenter, Officer in Charge, Organised Crime Auckland.
Customs Investigations Manager Maurice O'Brien says Customs has an intelligence-led and risk-based approach at the border, and the seizure is the result of good profiling systems and inspection capabilities. The joint operation with NZ Police and international engagement with other law enforcement agencies proved its worth in advancing the investigation.
"We maintain strong relationships with offshore border partners to share information about illicit trade as they move around the globe. It takes an international enforcement network to disrupt a transnational crime syndicate. This seizure shows our systems are working well regardless of the type of drug or commodity" says Mr O'Brien.
Police are not ruling out further arrests as the investigation continues.
Beth Bates/NZ Police
Media: Det Supt Virginia Le Bas will hold a press conference at 12.30pm at Harlech House, 482 Great South Road Otahuhu.
Plans are underway to get the diamante-horse to Harlech House so media can film it. Videos of the cocaine are also expected to be available by 12.30pm in a dropbox link.

It's been a while since we last chronicled the adventures of Kim Dotcom and the results of the MegaUpload takedown. We've been impressed, though, by the persistence and persuasiveness of Dotcom. Now, he's back with a new service that takes on Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud and other cloud-based file storage systems.
As reported by Ars Technica, the site is designed to be simple to use and offers 50GB of free storage. Paying users get 500GB of storage plus 2TB of transfers for $14/mo. All files are encrypted so the only way to share a file is to generate a public link to the file. Given that users are moving more data between devices, 50 GB seems like a lot but might soon become standard amongst rivals.
One tidbit bears watching: Users who share links to files with other Mega users see those files appear immediately in the users' account, similar to Google Drive.
At Bitmenu, we have experimented with for-pay distribution using cloud-based systems. In other words, users of Mega might one day put a price on the files they share (currently, Bitmenu sellers must upload their files to our servers). Would you want that?
Update: In some respects, the federal takedown of MegaUpload has enabled Kim.com to pivot and release a version 2.0. How is it different? As detailed in Forbes, only the individual user holds both the encryption and decryption keys to the files they load into the system. This means that Mega cannot ever know what is being stored on their service and thus cannot "turn over" that content to authorities if required to under warrant.


1:30am Saturday 22/04 (I was 39+6) I woke up really restless and going to the bathroom. Had my first contraction at around 1:45am, and then was consistently getting the pains every 20 minutes on the dot.
At around 6am I started feeling really sick and vomited & got quite weak and faint. Contractions completely stopped and I started thinking maybe I had food poisoning instead of being in labour. I slept for a little while and then they started back up again around 8am.
Just after lunch time (2:47pm to be exact) I called my mum to come around to watch my son, Thomas, as the contractions were getting so intense I needed Jason's, my husband, support through them. I'd been in the shower for over an hour, but needed to get out so I could sit down between contractions, as I was getting tired.
My Mum and Dad arrived about 3:30pm, and from there they just kept getting more intense. Jason decided at around 4:45pm that we needed to get to the hospital, but I wasn't convinced that I was having enough contractions close together enough to warrant going just yet (and I really didn't want to labour for hours at the hospital again), so I got him to call the midwife and she said come in and we can see where you're at at least.
I'd been on all fours on the couch till this point, I stood up and the contractions started coming with less than a minute in between! Getting to the car took ages, so my Dad walked me out, stopping with each contraction and swaying with me. This was such a special moment for us both, my Dad still gets emotional when he talks about how he helped me labour with his grandson. Meanwhile hubby raced around getting the last minute things. I said a tearful (on my end) goodbye to my son, and we arrived at the hospital at 5:30pm.
Hubby straight away laid out my birth plan, as my midwife wouldn't get to the hospital for a while yet. The midwife on call read it, and went about setting up the room for me. I had a mat, birthing ball, my LED candles, and my birthing prompts/affirmations and music playing. She asked if I would like to leave an internal exam until my midwife got there, which I did – but I so wanted to get into the bath, so I asked her to please run the bath.
She was a little reluctant, as she didn't know exactly how far along I was, but she agreed, telling me to hop out if the contractions started fizzing out.
He took a while to start breathing and his heart rate dropped a bit because he was born with the cord around his neck 3 times! But he picked up really quickly.
It was the best birth I could have ever wanted. It healed my heart after my first sons hard birth, and reaffirmed my belief in myself and body. But more importantly in my ability as a mother.
He's fitting in well to our family, and is loved by all!! Such a sweetheart ❤my heart is full and our family is complete.


Terry Mullett-Ressell of Sextant, Inc. presented her perspective on e-health through a case study of the Kaiser customer-oriented web site which she founded and helped develop along with a physician from Yale.
Originally called CareTouch, it involved a significant investment of time and resources by Kaiser and, ultimately, by IBM ($10 million). The corporation was set up as a for-profit entity to give it the freedom to operate somewhat independent of Kaiser (at least in theory). The concept was initially to exploit intellectual property within Kaiser (e.g. clinical guidelines and protocols) and provide a consumer-friendly web site to foster healthier lifestyles and improved disease management within and beyond Kaiser. With a relatively captive customer group that had exhibited some loyalty over the years, the thinking was that this was a solid investment for Kaiser in securing even greater loyalty among existing clients, achieve more efficient resource utilization, as well as potentially to attract new customers.
The pilot was offered in California to Kaiser customers. However, in the ensuing months, internal politics became difficult to manage. A subscription approach to revenue never fully materialized, and disputes developed between the Plan and the medical group over ownership, the value of the clinical guidelines, and other matters. These issues were ultimately worked out but dramatically extended the revenue growth time frame.
The site still exists today and, while it has achieved some of its initial goals, its future is not entirely clear. The experience certainly provides an excellent case study of the trials and tribulations of trying to integrate e-commerce into a well-established integrated delivery system. Another example of a similar site is MedUnite involving several other managed care plans, which should be going live shortly.

I finished Michelle Obama's recently released memoir Becoming yesterday. It was a great read and held my attention from beginning to end. If you are a fan of Mother Obama, I would highly recommend the read! I was consistently struck by her transparency and honesty. With a characteristically disarming approach, she discusses the pain of losing her father, the missteps of a young professional, her relationship with Barack Obama, and her continued dislike of politics. Obama approaches each difficulty and triumph with a her humanness on display, a steady and purposeful reminder that politicians (and those that love them) are indeed just people.
Mrs. Obama's prose was easier to pore over than her husband's early memoir (the subject of my first review 😅). The book did at times feel political, but that might be the cynic in me. After living in the public eye and under great scrutiny for more than 8 years while your husband was indeed THE politician, I imagine it would be difficult to omit politics or political opinions. In any case, she dispels any rumor or hope that she will EVER run for political office. And, she addresses big, bad Donald Trump's unscrupulous presidential candidacy and the 2016 election that many of us are still reeling from.
The Obama family felt a great responsibility towards perfection during their time in office…sacrificing personal and family freedoms as a result. This is not the suggest they are the first or the only political family to sacrifice and to suffer. Many in public life sacrifice a great deal. However, I was confronted by the great responsibility they felt as the first African-American family in America's highest office, in a country where race relations are still far from resolved. Michelle Obama never wanted this for her life or her family. She grappled with guilt, exhaustion, and confusion as a mother, while at the same time acknowledging the privileges such a life had provided. Reading her account illuminated that this was not the path of happiest or simplest life, but rather the path of the most meaning, the most impact.
I learned that being the president is lonely and difficult, and being the first family is a sacrificial act. I closed the book feeling immensely grateful for the devotion of all those in public service, from the secret service agents that swear to put another life before their own, to members of the military, and to the journalists seeking truth and accountability.
Michelle Obama's Becoming– 4.5/5 stars!
My next book is Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. It is a long book (and I am 1 book behind schedule) so I may have to get creative with how I tackle this goal and my free time. But, I want to read what I want to read. Page numbers be damned.


CHICAGO (AP) — Lin-Manuel Miranda and the producers of his hit Broadway musical "Hamilton" are bringing an exhibit to Chicago about the musical's Founding Father namesake.
"Hamilton: The Exhibition" will be an immersive, interactive exhibit about Alexander Hamilton and the founding of the United States, The Chicago Tribune reports . The exhibit will start Nov. 17 in a temporary structure the size of a football field on Northerly Island, a peninsula on Chicago's lakefront.
Miranda created and starred in the original "Hamilton" production. He'll provide a voice narration for the tour and be featured in video form.
The project will be directed creatively by David Korins, who designed the set for the musical. The exhibit will feature a series of rooms and scenes that will recreate important moments in Hamilton's life, starting with his childhood in the Caribbean Island of St. Croix to his death in New Jersey during a duel.
The exhibit will address questions that the musical doesn't have time to address, said Jeffrey Seller, a Broadway producer who's in charge of the project overall.
Chicago was chosen in part because of its support of the musical, Seller said. It's had a sold-out run since opening in Chicago in October 2016.
The exhibit will likely stay for about six months before moving to other cities, Seller said. Ticket prices have yet to be finalized, but would likely be about $25 for children and $35 for adults, he said.

Q: Displaying list horizontally I recently came across this geeksforgeeks program of Hashing with separate chaining:
But I am unable to understand it's code for displayHash() member function.
My questions are:

*

*Is there really a need for using auto type (as code works fine with int type too)?

*How is list being displayed horizontally using auto x:table[i](syntax not clear to me)?
Helpful links to documents are appreciated.

A: This all has to do with C++11 additions (which are not new at this point, it has been more than 7 years).
auto is not an actual type, it is deduced to one. So it is never necessary, albeit very useful. If for example you replace int index = hashFunction(key); with auto index = hashFunction(key);, you don't actually change anything semantically: auto is deduced to int because of the return type of hashFunction.
See cppreference.
The line for (int x : table[i]) is called a "range-based for loop" and is equivalent to the following (at least in this case):
{
    auto && __range = table[i];
    auto __begin = __range.begin();
    auto __end = __range.end();
    for ( ; __begin != __end; ++__begin) {
        int x = *__begin;
        // loop body
    }
}

See cppreference.

How Can I Thicken My Italian Dressing?

There are a number of thickeners easily available to the home cook, however many are not a wise choice for thickening Italian dressing. Roux and other flour based thickeners result in a dressing that seems a lot more like sour, oily gravy than dressing. Cornstarch, arrowroot and similar starch-based thickeners, though clear and with little flavor, must be heated to thicken liquids. Xanthan gum, however, is easy to use, does not require heating to release its thickening properties and has little to no flavor.
Combine 1/8 of a teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of prepared Italian dressing in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk the dressing thoroughly and vigorously until thickened -- this happens quickly.
Check the consistency once the dressing doesn't thicken any more through whisking.
Add 1/8 teaspoons more xanthan gum per cup of liquid if the dressing is still not thick enough, and repeat whisking until thickened to your desired consistency.

You can also use a blender, instead of a whisk, to incorporate xanthan gum into the dressing if you prefer.
Xanthan gum can be found online, in some supermarkets and in many specialty and health food stores.
Xanthan gum is a powerful thickener, so it is important to add it in small amounts to avoid creating a pastelike clump.

The Good Wheel Project was first commissioned by the City of Melbourne in 2014. It was devised as a single program that could divert unclaimed bicycles from landfill whilst providing new opportunities for training and educating vulnerable road users.
The program provided a reconditioned bicycle, locks and lights to different cohorts experiencing disadvantage, including recently arrived asylum seekers, young girls from CALD backgrounds and youth in alternative education.
We devised a training program that familiarised these groups with basic bicycle maintenance, educated them in local bicycle rules and conventions and trained them in on road riding skills. The program contained both classroom sessions, indoor and outdoor training and social rides.
The Good Wheel Program was initiated by the City of Melbourne, and was delivered by a partnership between The Squeaky Wheel Good Cycles. Referrals to the program were provided by AMES, lights and locks come courtesy of Knog, and helmets from Nutcase.
Over the years, a number of rounds of the project were funded by TAC Community Grants, City of Yarra, Victorian Women's Benevolent Trust, and supported by Victoria Police and The Huddle. Find out more below.
We are continually surprised and proud of the continued success of the Good Wheel program. We are now on our 16th round of the program, with hundreds of participants having graduated the course.This latest round of the program is funded by the City of Yarra, and takes place at Collingwood Alternative School over 4 sessions in April 2016.

Q: How to open-close a Sidebar with jQuery with advanced settings I created a open-close animation but it doesn't exactly do what i want.
I can't figure out how to fix the following:

*

*Sidebar shall open and close only when i click the magnifier icon, not when i click into the blue area of the sidebar (like when i want to type something into the search box or click any content that is displayed there.

*Apparantly when the side is loaded i need to click twice on the magnifier icon to open the sidebar. Really don't know why :/
See link to JS Fiddle below:

A: Here is my code for my own blog. Demo here.
As you can see, the 1st time you click on the icon, it open the sidebar. Just click on the icon again to close it. Here's the jQuery code (can be improved):
$('#icox').on('click', function() {
    $(this).children().toggleClass('active');
    $('#menux').toggleClass('active');
});

Then in CSS you just have to play with margin-left: -300px; or with css3 transform: translate.
Both methods should works fine but I think the CSS way is better (in my opinion) :)
Here is the jsfiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/6H8xr/

A: You need to make sure your sidebar has the "open" class when it loads.
html:

and your js:
$('#icox').on('click', function(){
  var $this = $("#peek");

I updated your fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/d69ne/4/

A: jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Grimbode/d69ne/2/

*solved here

You need click event on image and not your huge sidebar.
$('#peek_img').on('click', function () {
    var $this = $('#peek');
    if ($this.hasClass('open')) {
        $this.animate({
            left: '0px'
        }, 500).removeClass('open');
    } else {
        $this.animate({
            left: -200
        }, 500).addClass('open');
    }
});

A: Try the following:
$('#icox').on('click', function(){
  if ($('#peek').hasClass('open')) {
    $('#peek').animate({
      left : '0px'

Brazil Becomes The Latest Country To Confirm Plans to Launch A CBDC
Brazil's Economy Minister recently spoke during the celebration of the Caixa Economica Federal's 100 millionth digital savings account, and he used the opportunity to announce Brazil's own CBDC.
The Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) trend is larger than ever, with countries worldwide announcing their intention to create their own digital currency, one after another. The latest in this long line is Brazil, whose Economy Minister personally confirmed plans to launch digital real.
Brazil announces its upcoming CBDC — digital real.
Brazil's decision to launch its own digital currency does not come as a major surprise. After all, as soon as China announced digital yuan, many countries started developing their own CBDCs in China's fear of obtaining too much influence.
As soon as a few nations' central banks showed their willingness to start creating their own crypto, the rest were bound to follow. Brazil comes as the next one in line, as confirmed by its Economy Minister, Paulo Guedes.
Guedes made his statement yesterday, November 5th, during a special ceremony that celebrated the opening of the 100 millionth digital savings account in Caixa Economica Federal.
He said that the central bank is once again autonomous and that the digital dimension is booming. With that being the case, he revealed that Brazil would have its own digital currency and remain ahead of many other countries.
Brazil was prepared for work on CBDC, but it did not address it before
Interestingly, this was the first time that the country's Economy Minister addressed this subject. However, he still did not reveal any more details regarding the upcoming digital real.
Of course, Brazil has been keeping an eye on crypto in the past. Its central bank even announced setting up a study group for potential CBDC issuance back in August.
Its president, Roberto Campos Neto, also said that Brazil requires improvement in its currency. However, he expected that this would happen within the scope of a new federal digital payment system, Pix. He said,
"In our case, Pix is very important because from now on, we see the union of an instant, open and interoperable form of payment with an open data system. They will meet somewhere in the future with a currency that has yet to be perfected."
Brazil's CBDC to arrive in 2022
As mentioned, there are currently no available details on the digital real, as not even the central bank has released new information about it. However, Campos Neto did reveal that digital real will be in circulation in 2022.
Another interesting thing regarding this announcement is its timing. As some may know, Pix just recorded its first transaction this Monday, and it will be officially available as of November 15th.
According to the central bank's statement, it will only be used for foreign exchange transactions in and out of the country as for digital real.

Desire for Pacific bluefin puts fish on red list of threatened species
In Marine Science, Research News, Science & Nature / 9 January 2015

Eaten raw and thinly sliced, the dark-red belly meat of the Pacific bluefin tuna is highly prized—and priced—for its rich oily flavor by sashimi and sushi consumers in Japan. A single 400-pound bluefin sold for $37,500 during the New Year's opening of Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market. "And that's a bargain," says Bruce Collette, an ichthyologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., who points out that last year a 489-pound bluefin sold for $1.8 million in Tokyo.
In November, Collette, also of the National Marine Fisheries Service Systematics Laboratory, helped list Thunnus orientalis, the Pacific bluefin, on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species as "Vulnerable" to extinction. Its close relatives the Atlantic bluefin (IUCN status: "Endangered") and Southern bluefin (IUCN status "Critically Endangered") are also on the Red List.
Demand for Pacific bluefin in Japan and its growing popularity worldwide is having a devastating impact on their wild populations, Collette says. "From the most recent assessments it is plain that the bluefin's spawning stock biomass [the numbers of bluefin capable of reproducing] is really bad and headed lower."

"In the last 30 years we have eliminated 80 percent of the spawning stock biomass of the western Atlantic bluefin and similarly great reductions in the population of the Mediterranean bluefin," Collette says. "The Pacific bluefin and the southern bluefin have been cropped just as badly."
Many countries harvest Pacific bluefin. Japan catches the majority, followed by Mexico, the United States, Korea, and Chinese Taipei. Most are taken in purse seine nets, giant nets that surround an entire school of tuna, and the remainder with long-lines, gill nets and rod and reel.
According to Collette major threats to the Pacific bluefin include:
Adult Pacific bluefin tuna are being overfished; due to the demand, their overfishing shows no sign of abating. Large adult tuna are getting scarce and harder to find and catch. ("The overall commercial catch of Pacific bluefin needs to be reduced," Collette says.)
Since the early 1990s, commercial long-line and purse seine fishermen, while targeting the fewer large adult fish, have been catching and keeping greater numbers of juvenile Pacific bluefin, taking out many of the members of upcoming generations before they have a chance to spawn.
In the eastern Pacific, large numbers of juvenile bluefin, caught in purse seine nets, are now being transferred to ranching pens off the coast of Mexico where they are fattened up and later sold for sushi. This practice also removes many juvenile fish from future breeding and spawning populations.
While bluefin travel the Pacific in search of food, they congregate in the northern Pacific between Japan and the Philippines in April, May and June; off the Japanese island of Honshu in July and in the Sea of Japan in August to lay their eggs. There are few restrictions to fishing for tuna in these areas during these months. ("Pacific bluefin spawning areas need to be protected and closed to fishermen during spawning season," Collette says.)
Illegal fishing and trade in Pacific bluefin is rampant.

"As with any high price items like ivory or rhinoceros horn, there is an insatiable demand in the market for rarities," Collette says. "People spend thousands of dollars on big fancy meals of bluefin tuna. When a single fish is worth $37,000 there are a lot of games going on. Illegal fishing must be controlled."
For the future, Collette adds, "My hope is that gradually we will realize that these fish are an important renewable resource and we will respect catch and size limits and close areas where they are spawning. If we do all these things, there is hope that we can rebuild the population, not to what they were originally, but to a more sustainable level."

Nico Hülkenberg – "Canada is our next opportunity to get our season back on track"
By Findlay Grant
Renault F1 Team's Nico Hülkenberg has expressed confidence that the Canadian Grand Prix will provide the team with an "opportunity to get our season back on track" following a difficult weekend in Monaco last time out.
Both he and his Australian team-mate Daniel Ricciardo had a difficult time in Monaco, Ricciardo leaving with a mere two points. Hülkenberg suffered a collision early in the race, which resulted in his poor performance, although he remains positive.
"I love the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. The circuit is great, the city is really cool and the Canadian fans create a superb atmosphere. Montréal always embraces Formula 1 when it comes to town and there's a real buzz about the place," said Hülkenberg.
He said their car configuration for Montréal means that the car is not as stable exiting corners at low speed, adding that it can be tricky to get the braking points right consistently. The German added that the circuit layout makes overtaking difficult, although the last chicane can provide an opportunity.
"We have a low downforce configuration for Montréal so the car feels a little light coming out the slower speed corners. To be quick there, attacking the kerbs and being brave by getting close to the walls is very important. It's a difficult circuit for brakes and you have to be confident when going deep into the corners.
"It's a difficult place for overtaking, but the final chicane has seen many famous moves in the past and that's probably the best opportunity."
Hülkenberg is confident heading into Canada that the team will be able to push for a better result than Monaco.
"We left Monaco feeling disappointed as there was potential for a strong team result given our solid race pace in clean air. We need to get back scoring regular points. After Monaco, I felt very encouraged by improvements made to the car but our competitiveness level was not illustrated by the results.
"Canada is our next opportunity to get our season back on track and we'll be doing everything we can to return to the top ten." he said.

Today we wanted to journey to Peru, it's been on both of our bucket lists for such a while. There's interesting and beautiful scenery there, as well as a rich history of textiles and weaving.
When I think of Peru I think of bright colored textiles and patterns. Since I don't usually like patterns, I picked pieces, that were solid but contained patterns through their textures and weaves. It's all about chunkiness and layering!
For this trip, I'm drawing inspiration from Peruvian textile traditions (you might have picked up on the fact that we are kind of textile nerds by now I think.) I LOVE pattern and you can bet you would find some in my suitcase. To keep the looks clean though, I would pair pattern heavy pieces with modern shapes that have a bit of that lady-archaeologist flair.
What do you think of our choices? And what would you wear on this trip? Let us know in the comments!
This weekend I traveled up the coast a few hours to Big Sur for a weekend of camping, hiking- and let's be honest: s'mores eating. Our trip included four tents, three (adorably color coordinated black and white) dogs, two nights of laughter and starry skies, and one fabulously successful proposal!
Our time was rather limited so we had to make the most of it. Here are a few of my recommendations for a weekend adventure in Big Sur.
Visit: McWay Falls (pictured above.) It's an iconic view of the Big Sur coast- don't miss the beautiful blue water and jagged coast line- it's what your Instagram has been missing!
Explore: Jade Cove Beach. This stop on Highway One offers stunning mountain and sea views and a chance to hunt for jade on the rocky beaches. Apparently most of the green colored rocks are actually serpentine, not real jade, but a girl can dream right? Pictured in the second set of pictures below- P.S. my nail color here is Essie's Carry On and it has been my go to this Fall!
Here are a few of my camping essentials. After all, what is an adventure without the right outfit?

When Are The Latter Days Prophesied In The Bible?
The terms "latter days" and "last days" are sprinkled in both the Old and New Testaments. Many Christians believe we are now living in the last days foretold in Scripture. Are they right? Are we even now living in the end times of the world? Are "end times" prophecies being fulfilled now or did Scripture have something else in mind? When are these "last days?"
To begin our quest for the answer, we need to see the difference between the last day [singular] and the latter days - or last days - [plural]. John is the only writer to use the term "the last day." In his gospel, it is used to describe the final day of the earth when everybody will be resurrected.
"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day" [John 6:44, NKJV].
"He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him - the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day" [John 12:48, NKJV].
John definitely uses "the last day" to describe the end of time when Jesus will return to judge the earth. And it is in this sense many people think of "the latter days." But is there a difference between "the last day" and "the last days" as used in Scripture? Are they referring to the same period of time or to different periods of time?
The first time the term "the last days" is used is in Gen. 49:1. "And Jacob called his sons and said, 'Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days...'" [NKJV]. Jacob then proceed to prophesy about each of his 12 children. What did Jacob mean by "the last days?" He was not describing the end of the world, but what would happen to his children and their descendants. The prophecy about Judah even went so far as to come down to the time of Christ.
So what? The point is this, from the first mention of "the last days" we can clearly see it does not always refer to the end of the world. This means we should never take for granted that "the last days" or "the latter days" is talking about the latter days of the world as we know it. We will have to closely examine the context to determine to what "the last days" is referring.
Before we move into the New Testament, let's look at how some of the prophets used the phrase.
Is. 2:2 declares, "Now it shall come to pass in the last days, the mountain of the house of the Lord will be established as the chief of the mountains, and will be raised above the hills; and all the nations will stream into it" [NKJV]. Micah 4:1 is almost an exact quote of this verse.
The "mountain of the house of the Lord" is the kingdom of God which was brought into being in the death, resurrection, and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ. It has become the chief mountain and all the nations and peoples who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior become part of it. In this case, we see that the phrase "the last days" was referring to the days when the international kingdom of God was established, i.e. at the First Coming of Christ.
Another important passage is Dan. 2:28. "But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days..."
The context is dealing with the king's dream of the image which represented various world governments down to the time of Christ.
"You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay [the Roman Empire], and broke them in pieces...and the stone that stuck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth" [Dan. 2:34,35 NKJV].
The stone is the kingdom of God which will grow into a mountain [like in Is. 2:2] until it fills the whole earth. Since the kingdom of God was founded when Jesus died and rose, we see - again - the term "latter days" referring specifically to the first century when these things happened.
Study for yourself - nowhere in the Old Testament does the term "the last days" or "the latter days" refer to the physical end of the world. For the most part they were looking forward to the time of the New Testament. But what about the New Testament? How do its writers use these phrases?
Latter Days In The New Testament
The first time in the New Testament the term is used is in Acts 2:16-17.
"But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh...'" [NKJV].
On the Day of Pentecost Peter, quoting Joel, states that God promised to give the Holy Spirit in the latter days. This means that the last days began, according to Peter's usage, on the Day of Pentecost. He makes no mention of when they end.
The author of Hebrews confirms the first century Christians were living in the latter days. "God...has spoken in these last days to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things" [Heb. 1:1,2 NKJV]. The people who heard Jesus speaking were, according to the Bible's own definition, living in the last days.
What about Paul? What did he have to say on the subject?
"But knowing this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away" [2 Tim. 3:1-5 NKJV].
Wow! What a list! It sounds just like today, so it must be referring to the present time as the latter days, right? It might be, if not for that last sentence. Paul specifically told Timothy to turn away from these people. Timothy could not turn away from people who would not be born for almost 2,000 years. No, Paul was warning Timothy about deceivers who were spreading evil in his time era, not ours [although we need to take the warning as well]. So, once again, we see "the last days" were in effect in the first century.
Finally, lets consider James 5:3,4. "Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out..." [NKJV].
Some have taken these verses to refer to the end of the world. The context does not allow this. James is charging specific people with specific crimes. The whole context is of actions which were going on during the lifetime of James.
Although many people believe we are living in "the latter days" of planet earth, not once does Scripture use the term that way. Its use in the majority of times refers to the days of the apostles. The apostles were living in the latter days and they knew it. But that leads to question: the latter days of what?
There are two possible answers. The first answer recognizes that the history of the world is divided into two parts. The first part was the Old Covenant before Christ established the kingdom of God with His death, resurrection, and ascension. The second part is the New Covenant after the kingdom of God has been put into effect. We would then have the former days of the Old Covenant and the last or latter days of the New Covenant.
While this could be the meaning of "the last days," it covers a period of almost 2,000 years and growing. The very term "the last days" implies that something is going to end reasonably soon after the last days began. We know the latter days began in the time of the apostles. Was there something of supreme importance which also ended in their lifetime or close to it?
Last Days Of The Israel
The second possible answer is the Jewish nation. The apostles were living in the latter days of the Jewish nation and they knew it. They knew of the impending destruction of Jerusalem and they warned their followers about it. Even Jesus warned them in Luke 19:43-44 and other places.
Why was this important? Since the time of Moses, Israel had been a nation. They had been called and blessed by God. For thousands of years they were God's people on earth. The main way for outsiders to enter God's covenant blessings was to join the Israelites, as some of them did.
But Israel was more than just God's representative on earth. They had a mission, a very special mission. Through one of them the Messiah would be born. If for some reason the Messiah was not born then nothing else would matter. The whole world would be condemned to hell.
It was a vital mission of universal importance, and yet they forgot what their mission was. Unfortunately many became proud, thinking God had chosen them, because they were better than everyone else. They forgot their mission and when Jesus came anyway, they rejected Him, nailing Him to the cross.
For that, God judged them and allowed the Romans to destroy their nation. We fail to understand the importance of that event. For thousands of years every Jew was ingrained with the idea that they were the only people of God. They had forgotten what God had told Abraham, "...and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed" [Gen. 12:3 NKJV].
For a time in history, until Jesus came, God needed to work with one specific nation to prepare the way for the Messiah. When Jesus rose from the dead, it was time to fulfill the original vision of God - a world-wide family united in Jesus alone. It was time for the kingdom to be transferred from a physical nation to a world-wide spiritual nation - the church.
If the Jewish nation had recognized this and repented they would have received the blessing of God and been greatly used in bringing the world into right relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Many individual Jews did indeed do this, and received the benefits of it. Unfortunately, as a nation, the Jews continued to reject the message and the salvation offered through Jesus. So, after a period of time was allowed for repentance, the nation was destroyed. If the Jewish Christians had not been prepared for this, by Jesus and the apostles, their faith would have been shattered.
The apostles were living in this time of great change, enormous confusion, and deep deception. There were many Jews who were trying to deceive the new Jewish Christians back to their old Judaistic beliefs. To some the Law was perverted into a method of getting or keeping salvation. To others there was no Law, so why couldn't they live as they wished? Many other vital issues were raised as the conflict between the old and the new raged on. The latter days of the Jewish nation were traumatic ones in many ways. That is why the writers of the New Testament took the time to remind and warn the people of things they had been taught that would happen in the latter days of the Jewish nation.
Even today we often use the phrase "the last days" or a similar one without meaning the end of the world. "These are the last days of summer." "The last days of a political campaign are the most important." "You had better enjoy the last days of camp for the end is near." The examples could go on forever.
In the light of the Scriptures we have studied, it should be apparent that the term "the latter days" as used in the Bible cannot refer exclusively to our time era. It may include our time [although I think not] but if it does, then the last days have been going on for almost 2,000 years, and may continue to go on for a long time. Only God knows. Whether "the last days" includes our time or ended with the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, it is apparent that its main focus is on the 1st Century not the 21st Century.

A rare Martin 2-42 Parlour 'Natural' acoustic guitar, circa 1870
Estimate $50,000 – $100,000
American (New York) made, gloss nitrocellulose finish, solid Adirondack Spruce top, solid Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck with bound ebony fingerboard, 'Style 42' abalone purfling to soundboard, ivory bridge, slotted headstock with Brazilian Rosewood faceplate, hard case with red interior
Show Catalogue Notes
Since their introduction in 1870, Martin's 'Style 42' instruments have existed as the pinnacle of flattop guitar artistry. This stunning New York-era 2-42 is a perfect demonstration of the style.
This 'Size 2' instrument, while small by today's standards, was the third largest in Martin's line when this guitar was crafted, surpassed only by sizes 1 and 0. Often referred to as a 'parlour' guitar, this label is in reference to the small reception rooms or 'parlours' in which, historically, compact instruments such as the 2-42 were play.
'Style 42' instruments were distinguished by abalone pearl 'purfling,' which is found on all top borders, in the centre ring of the rosette, and most uniquely, surrounding the guitar's fretboard extension. This ornamental detail established a tradition that would become the hallmark of Martin's finest instruments in the coming century.
The parlour's distinctive pyramid bridge, nut, saddle, and bindings have been sculpted from dentine ivory. A back stripe of intricate 'zigzag' marquetry ties together two quarter-sawn wings of precious Brazilian Rosewood to the instruments rear, while to the soundboard we see old-growth Red Spruce, all treated with a fine French polish.
Contrasting the rich pearl ornamentation to the body of the instrument, the fingerboard is crafted of old-growth ebony, presenting without inlays, as was customary at the time. Equally noteworthy is the 'clock-key' neck set mechanism, which was a common detail on early Martins but uncommon by 1870.
This piece displays a dovetail-joined headstock and neck with a 'Diamond' volute. While then an aesthetically pleasing means of resolving a complex timber join on a neck constructed of multiple pieces of Mahogany (a construction method abandoned by the turn of the century favouring single piece necks), the 'Diamond' volute would continue its legacy on many of Martin's most prized Rosewood models as an aesthetic nod to the company's rich heritage.
While the historical significance of the 2-42 cannot be disputed, this example survives as one of a small handful of instruments of which continues to play beautifully. The architecture of the instrument, that is the scalloped X style bracing, is remarkably light. This allows the soundboard to resonate as freely a possible without compromising the guitars structural integrity.
To have on offer an example of such a preciously crafted antique instrument, so rich with heritage, so stunningly ornamented, which retains such a high level of playability, is truly a rare and exciting opportunity.

Macroeconomic Aggregates (March to May)
During the first week of March, the MEF prepares a medium term macro-economic policy framework and public financial policy consistent with that of the national development policy (i.e. National Strategic Development Plan Update 2009-2013). This is then submitted to the Royal Government for review and approval. Thereafter, in the first week of April, the minister issues an instructing circular on the preparation of Budget Strategic Plan (BSP) to all line ministries and agencies of the Royal Government at national and sub-national levels. This is based on the medium term macro-economic framework and public financial policy determined by the Royal Government. The circular updates Cambodia's status on: macroeconomic, public financial policies, aggregate budget revenue and expenditure plan, challenges for budget implementation in the next year; in addition to technical advice for the budget preparations for the following year.
All Ministers, heads of all institutions, heads of similar public entities, and governors of sub-national administration prepare their BSP based on the instructions contained within the circular on the preparation of BSP, vision, purpose, target of programme and priority action plans. The intent of each BSP is to serve sector policy priorities and national development policy. These plans are to be sent by each line ministry and agency of the Royal Government to the MEF no later than 15th of May, in each annual cycle.
Click on the links below to access further information on these circulars:
RGC Circular on Preparation of 2021 Budget Strategic Plan (in Khmer)
RGC Circular on Preparation of 2016 Budget Strategic Plan (in Khmer)
Between April and June of each year, these circulars, together with other legal and regulatory documents (Royal Decree, laws, sub-decrees, circular, government or ministerial decisions, Prakas etc) are made available on the Government Official Gazettes. The Government Official Gazettes can be bought at the General Department of Gazette and Computer Service of the Council of Ministers (located at Kampuchea Krom Boulevard and in front of Sydney Supermarket). It can also be found in the Volume I of the State Budget Management Documents (there are four Volumes) published by the MEF between January and February during each fiscal year. Copies of these four budget document volumes are available upon request at the Budget Department of the MEF. After the submission of the BSP, the MEF issues another instructing circular on the preparation of the Annual Draft Budget Law to all line ministries and agencies of the Royal Government.

Early Departures: A Canadian Co-op Experience in China
Part of the Series: Taylor's Picks

Submitted by OLC Editor on 14 July 2017
[F]ollow your passion and embrace uncertainty. I volunteered as a coach for 3 years because I loved it. Now, it has opened up an opportunity to work in a foreign country and learn a new language.
A few months ago, I would have never expected that I would spend my summer coaching hockey in China. But, how? You ask, does an economics and political science student come to be a hockey coach in China? And, how would this opportunity fit into the bigger picture of my career vision? In my case, a love of sport and lust for adventure turned my passion into a profession.
Finding myself in my 4th year of university, living with my parents, and having never left North America, I was hungry for adventure. I saw friends going to Hong Kong, France and Australia on exchange and others completing co-op in South Korea and the USA. All while travelling, having fun, and building their resumes. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) hit me hard.
I applied for numerous opportunities and was accepted to study in Australia through SFU Study Abroad in the Spring of 2018. I was excited for this opportunity, but plans changed. I received a scholarship through the Canada-China Scholars' Exchange Program sponsored by Global Affairs Canada (where I had previously completed a co-op term) and the Chinese Government. After a tedious multi-step application involving references, transcripts, letters of interest, and even a medical exam, I was accepted to learn Chinese at Fudan University in Shanghai for 10 months starting in September… Sorry Australia.
That left me four-months in the summer to do co-op before heading to China. I applied to at least 25 jobs through Simplicity and got Skype and telephone interviews for seven. Only one with the John Howard Society worked out and a follow-up in person interview was scheduled for when I returned to Vancouver from my co-op with Global Affairs Canada. However, during the four-day, 52-hour drive home (through terrifying conditions), I received a phone call that would completely change my summer plans.
One of the jobs I applied to but hadn't heard back from in a while got back to me – an opportunity to coach hockey in China that I had found through "International Co-op" in Simplicity. The sport runs through my veins. I've played hockey for fourteen years, refereed for nine, and volunteered as a coach for three. Potent Hockey, a hockey equipment manufacturer and talent company based in Nantong offered me a summer position as a hockey coach in China. The offer was fantastic, and would give me an opportunity to not only get an early understanding of the Chinese language and culture, but work directly with my passion – hockey. I accepted the position and cancelled my scheduled interview.
I naturally had worries about working in a foreign country, and so did my parents. In a country that is as misrepresented in the news as China, many questions lingered. We wondered: "Will language be a challenge? Is the food safe? How is the air?" I decided to take these worries and make it a goal to overcome barriers and build my survival skills.
Now one month into my adventure I can say that language is definitely a challenge. Our team meetings require a translator and Google Translate has become my sidekick. When coaching a team of 10+ kids, a few will speak both English and Chinese, so when I explain drills, they explain to their teammates. My vocabulary is very basic, limited to essentials like asking where things are, how much things cost, and the names of some foods, and of course "skate harder!" Most of my coaching is done through show and tell and non-verbal communication, these skills have since improved out of sheer necessity.
The food in China is incredible. Everything and anything you could imagine to be edible can be found. I've gone in with an open mind and found I love bullfrogs, cow neck, and durian (the stinky fruit). To be safe, I peel fruits and veggies and I am vigilant about avoiding sketchy restaurants and street vendors. However, I've eaten many things that I couldn't tell you what they were because nobody around me at the time spoke English. In my first week here, I tried more new things than I did the whole previous year. Street noodles and BBQ are now my go-to late night snacks.
The work is rewarding. There's no feeling like seeing a young hockey player stop for the first time, learn to backhand, toe drag, or improve any other hockey skill, and know that I helped them get there. Likewise, it is rewarding to see parents post videos and pictures on WeChat saying how proud they are of their kid's improvement.
This experience fits in to my future goals in two ways. First, learning the Chinese language and culture will be invaluable to my future. Learning a new language always opens new pathways, and being from Vancouver and studying at SFU I can see the growing presence and influence that China has around the world.
Second, I am pursuing a career in hockey. I am a linesman back home, playing in leagues such as the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). I aspire to one day make it to the WHL, IIHF or even the NHL, if things proceed that way. I see hockey through a broadened lens thanks to this experience and I now recognize opportunities beyond Canada. I've met contacts here at the international level (IIHF), as well as from Canada, who are interested in collaborating to grow the Chinese market. The skills and contacts I am building will be invaluable to my future hockey career.
If I could give advice to my fellow students it would be this: follow your passion and embrace uncertainty. I volunteered as a coach for 3 years because I loved it. Now, it has opened up an opportunity to work in a foreign country and learn a new language. It doesn't matter what you do, just love what you do. Volunteerism can turn into a career and shape your life in ways you would never perceive in the moment through the connections and skills you gain.
Embrace uncertainty and leave your comfort zone, especially when you're young and without commitments. I am thousands of kilometers and an ocean away from all my friends and family and it isn't easy. But, I've learned heaps about myself and grown to appreciate many things about Canada. I long for home, but I know when I return I will be a bigger person from the experiences and knowledge gained through this opportunity.

Q: Cassandra. describe keyspace. Syntax error I followed this Tutorial and managed to create 'ContactsList' keyspace at the server with cassandra-cli. However, when I am trying to describe the following keyspace, I am getting strange error:
[default@unknown] describe keyspace ContactList;
Syntax error at position 9: no viable alternative at input 'keyspace'

I am using Apache Cassandra 1.1 (Documentation of "describe keyspace" is here)
Thank you for the help.

A: Those docs are for CQL, which you can use on the command line with cqlsh.
If you want to use cassandra-cli, the syntax is describe <keyspacename>; i.e. without the 'keyspace'.


Anxiolytic effect of music depends on ovarian steroid in female mice.
Department of Integrative Physiology, Institute of Health Biosciences, The University of Tokushima Graduate School, Tokushima 770-8503, Japan.
Music is known to be able to elicit emotional changes, including anxiolytic effects. The gonadal steroid hormones estradiol and progesterone have also been reported to play important roles in the modulation of anxiety. In the present study, we examined whether the effect of music on anxiety is related to ovarian steroid in female mice. Behavioral paradigms measuring anxiety were tested in gonadally intact (SHAM) and ovariectomized (OVX) female mice chronically treated with either placebo (OVX/Placebo), 17beta-estradiol (OVX/E), or progesterone (OVX/P). In the elevated plus maze, light-dark transition, and marble burying tests, SHAM and OVX/P mice exposed to music showed less anxiety than those exposed to white noise or silence while OVX/placebo mice did not show these effects at all. OVX/E mice showed the anxiolytic effect of music only in the marble burying test. Furthermore, pretreatment with progesterone's metabolite inhibitor completely prevented the anxiolytic effect of music in behavioral tests, while pretreatment with a progesterone receptor blocker did not prevent the anxiolytic effect of music. These results suggest that exposure to music reduces anxiety levels, and ovarian steroids, mainly progesterone, may be involved in the anxiolytic effect of music observed in female mice.

Allison Rimm's practical words of advice provide clarity, insight, and inspiration at just the right moments. This book is the perfect gift for the person who has everything--yet feels a sense something is still missing, or that there's just not enough time for what really matters.
As someone who's led corporate workshops on planning and decision-making, I recognize THE JOY OF STRATEGY as an essential toolbox anyone can use to recreate their life from the top down, starting with what truly matters most.

We read this book for our professional book club and we all got something out of it. Very useful and highly recommended, but it does require introspection and a willingness to do the exercises if you want it to be applicable. Some of the examples seemed a little "buttoned up" but I definitely took away useful practical advice and vow to find joy in my work and life.
Allison's conversational writing style makes this an engaging and helpful guide to rediscovering the joy in your working life. A great read.
Struggled to finish this. Got redundant about halfway through and didn't lend itself to audio book while driving due to references to outside documents available on website that I couldn't access.

College coaches doing their May evaluations of prep talent have made La Mirada's early morning "CONVENTUS" a must-see.
Just Monday morning, coaches from Cal and Stanford were there to watch the workout.
The Latin word "conventus" has many meanings, but in terms of La Mirada's football team it means coming together. The players do this by putting themselves through several rigorous agility drills in the school's gym.
"It's literally an hour of hell," Matadores head coach Mike Moschetti said. "It's jut mental and physical toughness stuff. We start at 5:30 a.m. and go til 6:30 a.m. and there's no hiding.
Rather than interrupting the school day, Moschetti prefers to have college coaches see his players in the flesh during a workout. That way, most questions are answered in terms of the prospect's appearance and his toughness.
The workouts take place Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
When the Monrovia High School football team opens spring practice in two weeks, head coach Ryan Maddox will have an embarrassment of riches at the running back position.
Things were already looking up for the Wildcats' ground attack with the return of last year's second-leading rusher Darione Jones, who ran for 977 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Coaches were also expecting the emergence of sophomore-to-be Cameron Johnson, who was a dynamic runner for the Wildcats' freshman team last fall.
But then came the arrival of Kurt Scoby, one of the top running backs in the state, who landed at Monrovia after several other brief stops this offseason.
Local fans will remember Scoby for what he did as a sophomore at Charter Oak in 2011. He played part of last season at St. Paul midway through his junior season.
Scoby is academically eligible to play, according to Maddox and is taking classes to catch up on his course load. Maddox said the final hurdle will be to get Scoby cleared with CIF.
Monrovia appeared to be in store for a rebuilding year after graduating a dynamic senior class. It now looks like the Wildcats won't skip a beat given Scoby's arrival.
"We're excited about it," Maddox said. "It's just exciting to have two quality backs and athletes. I can imagine you'll see some pretty creative sets.
Although it's early, Maddox said he can envision both Jones and Scoby playing linebacker on defense.
Fans can get an early look at Monrovia on May 18 at the Charter Oak Passing Tournament.
What does everyone think of AJ Gass taking over at Servite?
AJ Gass, who was already dean of students, was named varsity football head coach on Thursday. He replaces Troy Thomas, who left Servite to become head coach at Crespi (again).
Aram's take: Pretty great video. We should start doing that over at the good ole SGVN. Just have a coach flow. As for the hire, I have no clue what to make of it. SO if you've got a take, feel free to fire away.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the committee was tasked with putting forth THREE proposals to be voted on at the re-leaguing meeting held on May 13. The proposals are due by Friday, Apr. 26 and the ad hoc had its final meeting Tuesday, Apr. 23 and here are the THREE proposals, in no particular order, that will be voted on. (The first proposal was reported here last week as merely an "idea" that has now been adopted as a official part of the proposal). The new leagues would be in place starting with the 2014-15 school year.
It's important to remember that the ad hoc committee is made up of a principal and an AD from each existing league, for a total of 12 people. The ad hoc can be viewed as a consensus of the league opinions and therefore holds weight. But given that the voting is now majority (50 pct. + 1) and not 2/3s vote, the ad hoc may have less pull. And also, individual schools can put forth their own proposals for vote, but again, it's hard to see an individual school winning a vote, especially over what the ad hoc suggests.
Ad hoc committee members: Jim Cronin (Alta Loma principal), Dave Masucci (Etiwanda AD), Suzanne Steinseifer-Ripley (Diamond Ranch principal), Ralph Harris (Rowland AD), Jackie White (Sierra Vista principal), Chuck Shore (Gladstone AD), Cary Willborn (Ontario principal), Chris Brown (Chaffey AD), Kathie Wiard (Charter Oak principal), Rick Dutton (Claremont AD), Claudia Karnoski (Covina principal), Bruce Alley (Nogales AD).
Aram's take: One of the proposals you see here will be enacted.


Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a disease primarily affecting the vascular layer of blood vessels in the choroid (pronounced CORE oid), resulting in damage to the overlying retina where the photoreceptor cells responsible for vision reside (see illustration).
Patients with PCV often experience blurred vision or a blind spot in (or near) the center of their vision in one or both eyes. These symptoms may appear suddenly and tend not to vary throughout the day. Your retina specialist may even diagnose PCV early before it has caused any symptoms.
PCV is characterized by abnormally shaped vessels in the choroid, but the precise causes of PCV remain a mystery.
Shares some clinical features with wet age-related macular degeneration The abnormal vessels in PCV cause vision loss when they leak fluid or blood into or under the retina (Figure 1). The abnormal vessels in PCV may also cause scarring or loss (sometimes called atrophy) of retinal tissue. Although PCV appears to affect only one eye in some patients, it often goes on to affect both eyes over time, so frequent monitoring is important.
The most important test used to diagnose PCV is a careful dilated eye examination by your retina specialist. In addition, fluorescein and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography may be useful (Figure 2). These 2 tests are able to create detailed images of the retinal and choroidal blood vessels, which can assist your retina specialist in identifying important abnormalities.
Both tests require a special dye to be injected into a vein (usually in the arm or hand) before retinal photographs are taken. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning of the retina is also routinely used to aid in diagnosis of PCV.
Unfortunately, some patients with PCV experience irreversible central vision loss in one or both eyes. Early diagnosis and treatment, however, may restore vision and prevent further vision loss in some patients. The most common treatments for PCV are intravitreal (in-the-eye) injections of an anti-VEGF medication and photodynamic therapy (PDT).
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a molecule generated by the body that causes the abnormal vessels in PCV to leak fluid and to bleed into and under the retina. Injections of anti-VEGF drugs into the eye block the activity of VEGF and often result in a decrease in the fluid or blood caused by the abnormal vessels.
Successful treatment of PVC often requires repeat dosing of anti-VEGF medication as frequently as every 4-6 weeks to prevent increased leakage or bleeding. In photodynamic therapy (PDT), an intravenous infusion of a special photosensitizing medication (verteporfin) is injected over 10 minutes; this makes the eye more sensitive to light. Then a cold laser is applied to the retina and choroid to damage or destroy the abnormal blood vessels found in PCV.


Located due south of Chengdu's historic center, the new town of Luxe Lakes occupies verdant land characterized by flat flooded fields interwoven amongst low, evenly spaced hills crowned with woods and terraced orchards. Consistent with Chengdu's reputation as a region focused on water with a relaxed lifestyle, the new city—a garden city—will be intimately intertwined with a new lake created within the lowlands of the site. The native land is honored through preservation of significant green belts and the extensive landscaping forming the context for the built environment. Work, play and live districts all share extensive lake frontage and will be interconnected through gracefully contoured roadways, elegant bridges, extensive pedestrian and bicycle trails, shuttle buses and water taxis. The master plan envisions the development of a collection of neighborhoods, each defined by the special nature of its relationship to the land's topography and the water of the lake. Access to the sun and views of the lake greatly influenced placement of the wide variety of housing types —from villas and townhouses to mid-rise and high-rise options—all set within a generous landscape of parks, community gardens, recreational areas, club houses, foot and bicycle paths and waterfront promenades. The harmony of the built environment and landscape represents the essence of the unique character of the project. This is manifested in an evocation of the most beautiful of the regional landscape characteristics including: the vertical movement of natural hills and mountains, the terraced forms of cultivated land, the interaction between water and land. Each of these characteristics provides inspiration for the principles and architectural organizations that underlie and unite all parts of the project. The master plan for Luxe Lakes is in stark contrast to the more typical approach to high-density residential projects in which there is often great repetition and therefore little real choice for the prospective tenant or owner. United by a shared material palette, the choreography of building forms and materials, a shared commitment to creating a sustainable environment and a rich and varied landscape, this new town will embody a set of distinct identities and characters that enable residents to identify with the unique place in which they live. Although this initial collection of neighborhood parcels appears to be a small selection of the new town's total area, it embodies a significant exploration of the character and program to be found throughout and provides a strong model for development in the years to come.

What do you mean by "Edge is non standard" ?
In typical Microsoft fashion they totally ignore all (well most) of the "standards" and do their own thing. It is getting better but in the early versions many standard features either were not present or did not work correctly.
Not sure what version I have but I will take a look later.
I use Microsoft Edge 41.16299.15.0.
Not sure where you got that version from but I have just done the latest update (taken several hours) and I have version 40.15063.674.0 - which does not seem to be a problem with this extension.
Because i cant modify original file cookiepolicy.php is more difficulty for me.
Sorry i forgot ask you how to?


But it's a very big question: is a human being worth anything, really? That's really a question. Is he worth anything, or are we 'just here'? Because otherwise it's just as much pleasure as possible and little pain as possible. That's about it. That's a life? What are we struggling for all the time, just to keep moving? Just to have a little bit less pain and a little bit more pleasure? For me the swing from the pleasure to the pain is not interesting anymore, not interesting.
You see, these questions about 'why' and 'value' have a particular urgency in the days we're living in. They're not new questions, these are what is called Existential Questions. They can be more or less conscious but they're always there. Everyone justifies their life in some way. The mechanical forces in the world now are so strong and so supported by governments, industry, high-tech, media. The demonic, selfish, self-serving, self-stimulating! What Gurdjieff used to call: 'the evil god self-calming.' It's such a dynamic devil - squeezing the humanity out of humanity. Humanity is now so dry.
