A Different Hajj amid the Virus
Hundreds of Muslim pilgrims circle the Kaaba as they keep social distance to protect themselves against the coronavirus ahead of the Hajj pilgrimage in the Muslim holy city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia, July 29, 2020. (AP Photo)
Muslim pilgrims, wearing face coverings and moving in small groups, began circling Islam's holiest site, the Kaaba, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
During the hajj, the white floors that surround it usually have hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from around the world. But this year is different. Only a small number of pilgrims — as few as 1,000 — could take part.
Ammar Khaled is a 29-year-old Indian pilgrim who was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. He said that although he is alone on the hajj, he is praying for those he loves.
"Words aren't enough to explain how blessed I feel and how amazing the arrangements have been," Khaled said.
Amr Al-Maddah is the chief planning officer at the Ministry of Hajj. He said, "We are taking every step possible to make sure that this hajj will end with zero cases of COVID-19 and also with zero deaths in our total hajj numbers."
Before pilgrims could even enter Mecca, they were tested for the virus, required to self-isolate in hotel rooms, and have their temperatures checked. Each pilgrim is in a group with about 20 others. A group leader will guide them throughout the hajj. This will help limit any crowding in places like the Grand Mosque, which houses the Kaaba.

While on Mount Arafat, where the Prophet Muhammad is said to have delivered his final sermon nearly 1,400 years ago, the pilgrims wear identity cards that connect to their phones.
The card stores the pilgrims' personal information, health data, and other hajj-related details. It permits the Saudi government to easily monitor the pilgrims. It also gives pilgrims a way to contact their group leader and make special meal requests.
Pilgrims were also given special clothes to wear during the hajj. The clothes contain silver that helps kill bacteria. They were also provided with prayer rugs, umbrellas, towels, soaps, sanitizers and other necessities.
This year marks the first time in many years that people from outside Saudi Arabia do not take part in the five-day hajj. Al-Maddah said permitting people to enter Saudi Arabia from abroad would have created possible health risks.
This year, two-thirds of pilgrims are foreigners already living in Saudi Arabia. These foreigners come from among the 160 different nationalities that would have normally been on the hajj. The other one-third are Saudi security and medical officials. All have to be between the ages of 20 and 50 and have no serious illnesses.
"For us, safety comes first," al-Maddah said. "We are employing technology to make sure that these services and these precautions are met and delivered in the highest standard."

Third Morinville woman up for Women's Day award
Feb 24, 2014 Local News, Morinville News, People 0
Morinville – For the past 18 years the St. Albert Bahá'í community has sponsored an annual celebration of United Nations International Women's Day by recognizing the contributions women make to society. Those contributions include generosity of spirit, courage, creativity, determination, steadfastness, leadership, enthusiasm, love, caring, and other attributes that enrich the communities in which they live. This year, three Morinville women will receive applause for their efforts towards those aims. Brandi Robertson, Rebecca Balanko and Kaileen Chisholm are among six women to be honoured in St. Albert at a special ceremony Mar. 8.
The recognition, in addition to covering women of all ages, also covers a wide variety of categories. This year the committee sought entrants in multiple categories: health, education, multicultural, Aboriginal initiatives, unsung heroine, science, the arts and youth empowerment. Nominators also had an opportunity to identify exceptional women who did not fall into one of the identified categories.
Kaileen Chisholm
Kaileen Chisholm is this year's recipient in the Youth category. Jessica Baily and Terra Bell nominated her for her dedication to making a difference in the world.
In their nomination, Baily and Bell said Chisholm is "trying to finish her studies through correspondence a year early so she can devote her time to helping others. She feels this urgency that children need her now and no time should be wasted." Chisholm is currently helping children with special needs through Infinite Resources, a local company that provides autistic and challenged children access to community groups for behaviour, educational and social practices. Chisholm became started working with special needs children at the age of 14 and currently leads three weekly groups: ages 3-6, 7-9 and 12-17.
In addition to working directly with special needs children, Chisholm is being praised for her efforts to provide respite for families that have children with unique needs. The Morinville woman offers parents a break by offering the piece of mind that the person looking after their children truly cares about them.
Chisholm's nomination was accompanied by the praising words of two mothers, one with a 10-year old non-verbal autistic son who struggles daily with different social situations and has many sensory issues as a result, and from the mother of a 7-year-old girl with autism. "Kaileen has been a blessing to my son and has allowed him to make friendships, and to participate in a social setting while still playing and having fun," wrote the first mother. It is a sentiment echoed by the second who said her daughter "has benefitted in participating by building her self-esteem and letting her creativity shine."
The student's nominators herald the young woman as "an incredible example to those around her of someone that truly cares and wants to make a difference in making this world a better place." Her future plans are to become a child psychologist or play therapist.
Chisholm said she was pleased and surprised to learn she'd won. "I was really proud of myself but I was also kind of shocked too because I've never done it for recognition," she said, adding the recognition only reinforces her future career path. "I think knowing that there really is an impact from doing the work makes me really want to do it more."
Other nominees
Other local winners included Brandi Robertson and Rebecca Balanko. Other International Women's Day award recipients include Eryl Jones of St. Albert, a woman who was nominated in both the Education and Senior categories, and Corissa Tymafichuk and Andrea Payne, two young women who were nominated in the Human Rights category for their work with the Paul Kane Social Justice League in raising awareness of human trafficking.
Opportunity to attend celebration
The celebration event will be held Mar. 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cornerstone Hall in St. Albert. Admission is by donation with a suggested donation of $10 at the door. Proceeds from the event will be donated to "Because I am a Girl", a global initiative of Plan Canada to end gender inequality, promote girls' rights and lift millions of girls – and everyone around them. To reserve a seat please call Mitra at 780-458-5214 or Elaine at 780-460-2151.

Note that this is the reason for the spacing issue and you have to override Bootstrap's CSS with your own by making your CSS more specific in order for it to take effect.

We'd love your help. Let us know what's wrong with this preview of The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys.
Madrid, 1957. Under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a dark secret. Meanwhile, tourists and foreign businessmen flood into Spain under the welcoming guise of sunshine and wine. Among them is eighteen-year-old Daniel Matheson, the son of a Texas oil tycoon, who arrives in Madrid with his parents hoping to connect with the country of his Madrid, 1957. Under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a dark secret. Meanwhile, tourists and foreign businessmen flood into Spain under the welcoming guise of sunshine and wine. Among them is eighteen-year-old Daniel Matheson, the son of a Texas oil tycoon, who arrives in Madrid with his parents hoping to connect with the country of his mother's birth through the lens of his camera. Photography--and fate--introduce him to Ana, whose family's interweaving obstacles reveal the lingering grasp of the Spanish Civil War--as well as chilling definitions of fortune and fear. Daniel's photographs leave him with uncomfortable questions amidst shadows of danger. He is backed into a corner of decisions to protect those he loves. Lives and hearts collide, revealing an incredibly dark side to the sunny Spanish city.

F I N A L L Y and ohhhhhhhhh look at that cover!!
Having had twelve hours to process the book after reading it in the span of twenty-four hours including a car ride (and I don't read in the car because well, motion-sickness, but there are just times where that needs to be overcome), I can now write a review that consists of more than hearts and exclamation points.
Picking stories that represent dark times in our global history is likely the easiest part, but deciding to tell it with the emotional strength and depth required can only be trusted Having had twelve hours to process the book after reading it in the span of twenty-four hours including a car ride (and I don't read in the car because well, motion-sickness, but there are just times where that needs to be overcome), I can now write a review that consists of more than hearts and exclamation points.
Picking stories that represent dark times in our global history is likely the easiest part, but deciding to tell it with the emotional strength and depth required can only be trusted to a few writers. Sepetys is one of those chosen few, and chosen because three books have already solidified her ability to write historical fiction and this one is equally captivating. Her appeal lies with adults and young adults who want to access the worlds she opens up. In this story, there are four characters who intersect in mesmerizing ways: Spanish brother and sister Ana and Rafa, their cousin Puri, and the American-- Daniel. Their connections unfold in a series of suspenseful, dark, sentimental, and deeply personal ways in and around the Castellana Hilton, a hotel that's a piece of the United States inside Madrid, Spain during the tumultuous and tenuous reign of Generalissimo Franco. The policies and practices that emerge lead to tragedy that Puri begins to uncover while Daniel as an outsider who pines for Ana also discovers additional stories when using the lens of his camera. Everyone has a story to tell.
There are characters you'll love to hate and characters you want to fall in love. One thing is for sure, you'll fall in love with Sepetys again. Storytelling is her passion and her purpose. And the power of the story is similar to Doerr's All The Light We Cannot See and Hannah's The Nightingale and the length and span of the story to Julie Berry's newest Lovely War. Whether readers are understanding the importance of dress for a bullfighter or poverty in Vallecas. I had no problem following the array of characters because they are all instrumental, even as the book moves forward in time and new secrets emerge, I would have gladly welcomed more.
It's the nuanced relationships and evocative time period that teach us about humanity. The setting creates is own set of problems and character so anyone who has visited will easily recognize it while those who haven't (me) can understand through Sepetys' choices what we didn't experience firsthand. She's a guide for epic stories of love and loss, politics and economics. The human toll of dictatorship. The secrets and the danger of secrecy. There was a constant pull to uncover and understand, so when Sepetys adds a confessional and power struggles, money and beauty, no one is ever quite certain who to trust but that in that, we can only imagine why even now there a vow of silence as Spain moves on.
I'm sorry, a historical novel about Spain under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco??? Why did no one tell me about this sooner????
Ruta Sepetys delivers in this incredible historical fiction novel set in Madrid, Spain in the late 1950s during Franco's dictatorship. I lived in Madrid for a semester in college with a Spanish woman who did not speak English. I was transported back in time to the bullfights, the food, the reverence for family, the dizzying heat and of course, the fountains.
The subversive use of photography by the main character Daniel captures the fear, the unseen and the forbidden in Franco's Spain.

In 1957, eighteen-year-old Daniel Matheson travels from Dallas, Texas to Madrid, Spain with his oil-wealthy parents to his mother's homeland. He's so focused on photography and winning the Magnum Photography Prize - to fund journalism school against his father's wishes - that he doesn't fully realize the contrast of his life from the average Spaniard. But soon he meets Ana and her siblings Rafa and Julia, who all battle fears and suppress the secrets of their family's dark past. The past haunts them, binding them to silence and poverty. Their cousin Puri cares for children in the orphanage where she uncovers a shocking discovery, but Sister Hortensia thwarts her questions, leaving Puri caught between her love of country and fear of truth.
Their lives converge at Castellana Hilton, the American hotel in Madrid that seems like a palace to the locals. When hotel maid Ana is assigned to work with Daniel's family, a budding yet forbidden romance arises that introduces each of them to the other's world.
Through Ana and her family, Daniel recognizes Spain's simple yet complex beauty and captures the poverty and the pride of Spain in his photographs. But their vows of silence create questions. Why does Rafa and his friend bury empty coffins? Why does the guardia civil threaten Daniel after he snaps a photo of a nun carrying a dead baby? Who stole Daniel's pictures?
Sepetys delivers a dramatic story of honor, loyalty, and beauty with a cloud of dread hovering just beyond reach. And love overcomes it all.
True Ruta. Beautifully written yet difficult-to-read parts of history. Thankful she once again exposed a piece of hidden history to me. I flew through the pages, desperate to know how Daniel, Ana, Rafa, Julia, and Puri's stories would end. Surprises, twists, sadness, relief, joy—this book has it all. Get your copy as soon as it is released October 2019!
Another piece of history I knew nothing about. This engrossing tale of life under Franco in Spain will send me to nonfiction to learn more about the Spanish Civil War and after.
I have loved all of her other books!! I was super excited to see this one on the horizon. I would love a copy to read!!!
Okay so... How did I not know about this sooner?
Please pick me to read the advance copy of this book. I absolutely love Ruta. I own all of her books and have purchased copies for friends and family.
I don't know how I feel about this book so I didn't give it a rating. It's not my kind of book; I knew that when I started. I didn't love it at all, but I can't really hate it, either. I felt it was slow at many points, but the research was interesting. The plot could have been fascinating, especially the wrap-up, but there was so much verbage it was hard to care. This book could have been half the length and been just fine. But... again, not my type.


The Drake women's soccer team kicks off conference play with a bang, avenging the Drake men's soccer team and beating Valparaiso at home on Saturday.
Saturday night was definitely sweatshirt weather, a welcome break from the buggy and humid atmosphere Des Moines has dealt with these past few weeks, reminding the audience what September weather is supposed to feel like. With only one matchup this week, the Bulldogs were rested and ready to go on Saturday with a clear objective in mind.
Rodgers led the offensive effort on Saturday by scoring the team's first three goals. Her first goal came in the 9th minute, Rodgers taking advantage of a deep ball from senior Ali Smith and calmly slamming the ball into the right upper corner of the goal. The first half ended with the Bulldogs on top 1-0.
In the second half, Drake and Valpo catered an animated performance to the home crowd. Rodgers scored her second goal of the match in the 53rd minute, but she was answered by Valparaiso's Kelsey Jahn not four minutes later. Rodgers, infiltrating the Valpo defense, put Drake up 3-1 in the 59th minute.
Senior forward Hannah Wilder recorded her first goal of the season in the 76th minute, putting her head on a beautiful ball that soared past Valpo's keeper to widen the Bulldogs' lead. Valpo attempted to keep things interesting by scoring again in the 78th minute, but Drake's effort on defense and midfield were incredibly effective in holding them to two scores, especially when it came to trapping and winning 50-50 balls.
The final score favored the Bulldogs 4-2 a result that sent the squad into a grateful huddle immediately following the final whistle.
The women's soccer team moves to 8-3-1 this season, with six games left until the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.
"We have to take each game one at a time from here on out," Rodgers stated.
The Bulldogs will have no shortage in MVC play these next few weeks, with conference games rounding out the rest of the regular season.
The Drake women's team will be right back at home on Oct. 6, going head-to-head with the Indiana State Sycamores, who are 0-2 in conference play and 5-6-1 overall. The match will be broadcasted on ESPN3's The Valley.

Q: rdlc report in vs2010, how do i repeat tables header on every page? Hi all I am making rdlc report.
In report I am using more than one dataset.
Also, I am using more than one tables.
Different tables having diff dataset.

How can I achieve this thing?

You can do the same for the row header if you have one


Is your predilection for short prose also a matter of the pleasure you take in beginnings? Each of your publications implies a new beginning, and the structure of your texts is marked by restarts.
Beginning is awful. Nobody has an easy time finding a beginning. There are no exceptions. Now, the author of short prose is damned to restart over and over. He knows how to do it. Or rather, he's used to the pain of it. The novelist, on the other hand, requires a single beginning and then he has to work with it for three years. That seems more comfortable to me.
Is the novelist less rushed?
In sports there are long-distance runners. Ten thousand meters. Marathons. It's marvelous. If I were a runner, I'd run marathons. But I would always come in last, because I would take too much pleasure in the journey. I'd be too slow. Now, you could say that the novelist is the long-distance runner and the writer of short prose is the sprinter. But that's not true. The writer of short prose is not a sprinter, he's a long-distance runner over a short distance. When Johann Peter Hebel starts one of his stories, you have the impression that it's going to take two hundred pages. You get comfortably settled in and then after twenty lines it's over. But it began like a great novel. Writing is managing time, it's a question of patience. Reading, too. Reading is lost on impatient people. . .

WorLdle Country — Answer #70 Today's: April 1st 2022
For geography fans, Worldle Country has become an everyday entertainment, but the right answer is not always obvious.
On our pages, we publish the correct options for the 'Worldle' Country every day, so take note NextGmames.us to be ahead of the whole planet!
Worldle is a game that tests your knowledge of the world map where you are given an image of an outline of a country and you have six guesses in which to try and solve it. Once you have made a guess, it will tell you how far the guessed country is from the answer and which direction it is in.
There are two other modes you can try if you want more of a challenge, which both can be found in the settings of the game and will take effect on the next puzzle. The first one is to remove the image of the country altogether, so you are just guessing at random. The guesses you make will still show you how far it is from the actual country and the direction you need to go.
The other option rotates the image of the country, so it could be upside down or on its side, but you will not know which way it is seen on the map. This will throw you a bit and make the game a bit harder for you to solve.

Check out our Crosswordle answer list, or our Nerdle answer list if you're having trouble solving these puzzles.
How Do I Play Worldle?
While its formula is very similar to the now-iconic Wordle, actually playing Worldle is a different kettle of fish. Rather than trying to guess a word, you're instead aiming to guess one of hundreds of countries, based on geographical data.
You start off by guessing a country, after which you see a range of green and orange tiles. Unlike Wordle, where they're used to denote how many letters are in place, here they're used to show how geographically close you are.
The more green tiles compared to orange, the closer you are, and so on. You'll also get other handy metrics, such as the distance between your guess andthe target country, and even the direction in which you need to head to find the today's Worldle country.
The rest of it plays a lot like Wordle: you get six guesses and build up a streak based on consecutive correct answers. Those with the best knowledge of the world will no doubt relish this challenge, as the lack of visual identifiers means you'll need to use all the geographical acumen you have.

The tabletop for a classic: Egon Eiermann would have loved it. We designed the tabletop TMU with the famous architect and furniture designers table base in mind. TMU is simply placed on the base designed by Egon Eiermann or any other matching base. The table top gets its support from a bearer which is a design used in architecture, giving excel- lent stability. The brace on the underside prevents the table top from sagging in the middle. Mr. Eier- mann would have loved that too. Not only beautiful but also well thought out.

Long-Term Birth Control More Effective than the Pill
By Cari Nierenberg
(Image credit: Birth control pills via Shutterstock)
Women who use long-acting methods of birth control are less likely to wind up pregnant than women who use shorter-term methods, which require daily or monthly remembering, a new analysis says.
The results showed that women using birth control pills, skin patches or vaginal rings were 20 times more likely to have an unplanned pregnancy than women who used intrauterine devices (IUDs) or implants placed under the skin of the upper arm.
"We were surprised at the magnitude of the difference between the contraceptive methods," said study author Dr. Jeffrey Peipert, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Washington University School of Medicine, in St. Louis.
The study, which appears Thursday (May 24) in the New England Journal of Medicine, is one of the largest ever done in the U.S. to compare birth control failure rates over a three-year period, Peipert said. It's also one of the few to include a large number of women using IUDs and implants. Previous studies were based on surveys and depended on women's recall of contraceptive failure, he noted.
Given the findings, Peipert said women and health professionals should consider this question: Would we use a medication that was 20 times less effective for cancer or heart disease?
Unplanned pregnancies
Half of the roughly 6 million pregnancies in the United States each year are unplanned. And of those 3 million, about half are attributed to the incorrect or inconsistent use of birth control.
The unintended-pregnancy rate in the U.S. is higher than in other developed countries, including France and the United Kingdom, where use of IUDs is much higher, the researchers said. The pill remains the most commonly used contraceptive method in the United States.
In the new study, researchers tracked almost 7,500 women ages 14 to 45 considered at risk for an unplanned pregnancy. All women were given the contraceptive of their choice free of charge, and they also received counseling about each method's risks, benefits and effectiveness.
The largest group, nearly 5,800, chose IUDs or implants. Slightly more than 1,500 women selected pills, patches or vaginal rings, and the smallest group, 176 women, chose an injectable form of birth control known as DMPA, short for depot medroxyprogesterone acetate.
During the study 334 unplanned pregnancies occurred. Of these, 156 were attributed to contraceptive failure (improper or inconsistent use), The remaining 178 pregnancies were due to other reasons, including the non-use of contraceptives.
The highest failure rate was seen in women using birth control pills, patches or rings. There were 133 pregnancies among women using these methods, which means the failure rate was 4.5 percent. There were 21 women who became pregnant while using IUDs and implants, and two women while using DMPA.
While a woman's method of birth control mattered, her age also made a difference.
Researchers found that women younger than 21 who relied on oral contraceptives, patches or rings had almost twice the rate of unintended pregnancies as older women who used the same contraceptives. That's because younger woman are more likely to forget to take their pills or to change a patch or ring, the researchers said.
Less mental effort is needed for IUDs, which can stay in the uterus for five to 10 years, depending on the type. Implants are effective for up to three years. It's estimated that 5.5 percent of U.S. women who use birth control currently use IUDs.
"This is an extremely well-done study, and I really applaud that the researchers did it," says Dr. Lynn Goltra, an OB/GYN who is director of family planning at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. "It shows that the failure rate is 20 times higher for labor-free birth control methods than labor-intensive ones."
In other words, the more effort a woman has to put into a birth control method, the more likely it is to fail.
Goltra, who was not involved in the research, said women under-utilize IUDs. "They're hassle-free, incredibly safe, and as effective as sterilization," she said.
Some women don't like the idea of placing something foreign inside their body or under their skin, Goltra said. There are also risks to using IUDs, she noted; for example, there's a very small risk of introducing an infection into the uterus that might affect fertility, and skin implants may cause unpredictable bleeding.
It also may be that women are less familiar with long-acting birth control methods, and they hear less information about them from their friends.
"If a woman's goal is to prevent pregnancy, she should be using the most effective method of birth control," Goltra said. "Long-acting reversible contraceptives are the most effective."
Pass it on:The use of long-term contraceptives, which require little daily thought, shows a significant higher success rate in preventing pregnancies.

Q: Capturing Data of a User Visiting my website How can I capture data of someone visiting my website via a shortened link? I want to be able to capture the OS, IP, divide ID etc. Would capturing the user agent string be the best option? What are some other ways? In my case I'm building a website with DJAGNO.

A: To get the IP, you can use the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR or REMOTE_ADDR headers from request.META
For instance:
 FORWARDED_HEADER = "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"
 REMOTE_HEADER = "REMOTE_ADDR"

 headers = request.META

 ip_header = FORWARDED_HEADER if FORWARDED_HEADER in headers else REMOTE_HEADER

 ip_address = headers.get(ip_header)

For the user agent you can use the HTTP_USER_AGENT header:
USER_AGENT_HEADER = "HTTP_USER_AGENT"
user_agent = request.META.get(USER_AGENT_HEADER)

Artist Julian Opie explains to Sara Manuelli how nothing inspires his work
By System Administrator February 6, 2003 7:45 am January 30, 2015 12:44 pm
Julian Opie is a busy man. Tomorrow sees the opening of two different site-specific installations, one at Sadler's Wells Theatre in London and another at Selfridges Exchange Square, Manchester. Meanwhile, London St Barts Hospital has also unveiled an oversized Opie canvas, as part of an arts project that will run parallel to the development of a new breast care centre.
Opie seems bemused by the timing, which probably owes more to projects' deadlines shifting than a well-planned strategy to take over the world, but he admits he might have acquired a reputation for someone who 'can deliver', even within unconventional spaces.
The Sadler's Wells exhibition, Underwater, will feature large-scale images of vinyl swimmers and fish applied directly to the glass facia and side windows of the theatre. 'I quite like the idea of the architecture being the structure that holds the image,' says Opie, who admits that he thinks of large-scale projects more like sculpture than painting. 'The canvas becomes part of the work, whereas normally you're asked to ignore that it's there,' he says.
For Sadler's Wells, Opie was given an open brief and a chance to continue themes – people swimming, fish, water and working on glass – that are currently informing his work. As he explains it, the water theme, which Opie has painted often, is 'using that idea that when you draw water, you are drawing a lot, but actually there is a sense you are drawing nothing. So it's actually very complicated, although there is a sense it's nothing, just like a road might be nothing. And I'm interested in nothing.' As for the structure of the theatre, 'the glass allows me to float images in space. Glass is something that is used a lot in modern architecture, but not so much in art, so it gives me enormous scope without getting into anyone's way,' he says.
The Selfridges project, a collaboration with Marks & Spencer, also makes use of a large glass facia on Exchange Square in Manchester. The artwork, entitled Walk, Walk, Walk, features two large-scale figures, a man and a woman, moving across the retail space and eventually meeting in a jumbled embrace. 'It's about reflecting the business of people walking in all directions,' says Opie.
A contrast to the frenetic pace of the Manchester installation is the St Barts 18m by 50m landscape, a variation of Opie's signature motorway paintings. Entitled I dreamt I was driving in my car (country road 2002), it may seem an odd choice for a women's breast cancer unit. Yet, as Opie points out, he avoided talking directly about illness or cancer since his work isn't about those themes. 'I'm offering people another place to be,' he says, and i
n this case, the place is the depiction of a B road off the M1 motorway, which he frequents on the way to Luton to pick up his Swiss wife and relatives.
'The motorway is a reflection of existence in a modern way,' Opie says. 'It has a similarity [in classic painting] to the notion of a vista. [John] Constable and [Thomas] Gainsborough used the road in their paintings, there is always a cart track or a path that leads you into the picture. It's a great trick,' he says. In this context, 'it's a mix between ideal, pastoral "boringness" and road imagery. Since cars are usually parked in front of the canvas they become part of the setting, and the claustrophobic courtyard opens out into an enormous vista of a very empty, bland English landscape.'

Why Prefer Ayurveda for Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment?
In this blog, we will talk about chronic kidney disease treatment in Ayurveda.
Chronic kidney sickness (CKD) is that health condition which influences the kidneys and after that the other organs of our body significantly. This is a dynamic health related disorder which is separated into 5 phases as indicated by the complexities which are associated with it.
Being a progressive issue, CKD is classified into five unique stages. The side-effects are observed to be dynamic at each phase of CKD. A patient's glomerular filtration rate (GFR) portrays the phase of chronic kidney disease.
GFR is that rate which demonstrates the filtration rate of blood inside the kidneys. A low GFR means that there is some kind of problem with a person's kidneys. To see more about it, we should know the connection between GFR and distinct phases of CKD.
Stage 1: GFR higher than or equivalent to 90 ml/min demonstrates that the kidneys are working properly.
Stage 2: GFR somewhere in the range of 60 and 89 ml/min indicates the starting stage of a disease.
By coming to the end phase of chronic kidney disease of stage 5, people pick the method for dialysis and kidney transplant which make the complications of CKD more grounded. To save kidney patients from such methodology, Karma Ayurveda is giving chronic kidney disease treatment in Ayurveda since 1937.
Karma Ayurveda is an Ayurvedic kidney care organization which had given regular treatment to kidney disease to more than of 35,000 kidney patients and is intended to serve more with the equivalent. Right now working under the supervision of Dr. Puneet Dhawan, Karma Ayurveda is giving chronic kidney disease treatment in Ayurveda and is bringing kidney patients out from the convention of artificial medicines.


In September 2017 I was approached by a couple who had recently purchased a property in Windemere Village. The property was habitable but extremely dated and they wanted help completely refurbishing it for use as a second home. We gutted the place and installed a new kitchen and bathrooms and re-decorated throughout. The project was completed in early 2018 and the interior has been completely transformed.

One of my favourite Wagamama dishes, super easy, super healthy and super tasty.
This isn't my own recipe, but it's just so good that I had to share with you guys. It's actually from the Wagamama cookbook if you do happen to have that. They also do a Jar version of this in some supermarkets, but the fresh version is definitely tastier. The chilli sauce is what makes this dish, and you could definitely play around with the stir fry ingredients too. It is described as "a think, sweet red sauce spiked with chilli and ginger", and if you make it ahead of time it will keep for a few days in the fridge. This is the first stage of the recipe, and the second is adding the sauce to the dish. It may seem like there are a lot of ingredients but I find that I usually have most of these already in, and it really is simple to make.
First we need to make the chilli sauce. Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan over a low heat until hot. Add the next eight ingredients (in the list above) and sauté for 7-8 minutes without colouring. Add the red pepper and continue cooking gently for 8-10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Blitz in a blender and use.
Ok so as long as you have a blender that part is pretty easy, basically just throwing everything in a pan and then blending it to create the sauce. For ease I use the same pan for the chilli sauce and to create the dish, so I just leave the sauce in the blender until needed.Now for the dish itself. Cook the noodles in a large pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes or just until tender. Drain thoroughly and refresh under cold water.
Heat a wok over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until completely hot and almost smoking and add the vegetable oil. Add the chicken, pepper, courgette, red onion and spring onion and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are lightly coloured. Add the chilli sauce and bring to the boil. Divide the noodles between 2 bowls and top with the stir fry.
I know that at a glance, when you have to make a sauce from scratch for a dish it feels like far too much effort, but trust me, this isn't bad at all. One pan and a blender is all you need (and obviously the ingredients for the dish).
I love recipes like this because you can experiment with the stir fry ingredients and get a different type of dish each time you try. Next time I will definitely be trying some seafood and a bunch of different stir fry veggies in there, but I would always keep the chilli sauce the same because that tastes far too good to mess with.
What's your favourite Wagamama dish? Or is there one you would like to see me make?


Submission is not a popular topic with many people in our world today. Most Americans resent anyone telling them what to do. It is often thought submission indicates inferiority in some way or another. God's word is filled with commands to submit and shows us what is involved in submission. God commands submission of many different classes of people. God's word teaches, "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord" (Ephesians 5:22; Colossians 3:18; 1 Peter 3:1, 5). God expects children to be in submission to their parents. Among the qualifications given for a bishop is he should be, "one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence" (1 Timothy 3:4). God expects members of a congregation to be submissive to the elders who watch over them. Hebrews 13:17 says, "Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you." God expects citizens to be submissive to the governing authorities. His word says, "Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake" (1 Peter 2:13). God says, "Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh" (1 Peter 2:18). All mankind needs to heed the admonition of Scripture, "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). God expects everyone to be in submission to someone. Ephesians 5:21 speaks of us, "submitting to one another in the fear of God." If we recognize our need to be in submission ultimately to God and also to those whom God has placed in positions of authority over us, we need to know what is involved in being in submission. Someone has said submission refers to ranking oneself under another. Submission is something we willingly offer as we are willing to place ourselves under the authority of another. Submission requires one to be obedient to those in positions of authority over us (Ephesians 5:24; Titus 2:5; Hebrews 13:17). Understanding these concepts is helpful but what are some practical illustrations of what is involved in submission. Submission does not mean one cannot appeal to one in a position of authority over them. Jesus has taken on a role of submission to the Father (1 Corinthians 11:3; Philippians 2:5-8). While Jesus is the perfect example of submission to His Father in heaven, Jesus made appeals to God. Jesus appealed to the Father in Gethsemane saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will" (Matthew 26:39, 42, 44). Jesus made known His request and petitioned the Father while being in submission to the Father. Prayer is a means by which we too can let our desires be known to the Father but prayer is not a lack of submission. Wives, citizens, children, etc. can make their desires and wishes known to those who are in positions of authority over them and still be submissive. Submission is demonstrated when we like Jesus are willing to place our desires under the will of the one in authority over us. Our submission is not an excuse to do something which is ungodly. Peter and the other apostles had been commanded not to teach in Jesus' name by the governing authorities. We have already seen where God expects people to be submissive to government. Why do Peter and the other apostles continue to teach in the name of Jesus? Acts 5:29 tells us they replied, "We must obey God rather than men." Our submission to God and His will must trump our loyalty and submission to any other human authority placed over us including parents, government, husband, etc. (Matthew 10:34-37; Luke 14:26). Ananias and Sapphira both agreed to sell a possession and deceptively keep back part of the price of the land for themselves (Acts 5:1-11). Sapphira could not justify her deceit by saying I was simply going along with my husband's plan. Submission also does not mean we cannot attempt to correct the folly of others by taking certain actions. Abigail in 1 Samuel 25 took actions to avert the consequences of her husband's folly. Submission does not mean we fail to correct those who are in sin. Timothy was taught to honor the elders (1 Timothy 5:17). Yet there may be a time when Timothy would have to rebuke an elder who was living in sin. Paul instructs him, "Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear" (1 Timothy 5:19-20). As a Christian, if I see a brother committing a sin, I have an obligation to warn them whether they are in a position of authority over me or not (Matthew 18:15-17). In correcting those who are in a position of authority over us, we would do well to heed the instruction given to Timothy, "Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity" (1 Timothy 5:1-2). We still need to show respect for the person and their position of authority over us when correcting them. Submission is a necessary attitude to adopt if we are going to be pleasing to God. Let's learn to understand what submission is and what is not involved in submission. Let us ultimately remember our responsibility to submit to God who has authority over us all.

Shifting Perspectives in Pensions
This paper uses economic principles to analyse concepts used in the area of pensions. It discusses the issue of an efficient pension system and tipical dychotomies: unfunded versus funded, private versus public and defined contribution versus defined benefit. The paper uses the concept of Notional Defined Contribution, as a vehicle of ananlysis of central issues of pension economics. The concept is discussed in parallel with the concept of Financial Defined Contribution. The authors conclude that a good pension system mixes a portfolio of NDC, which is equivalent to a government bond portfolio and FDC, with a portfolio of non-government issues.

Mark Zuckerberg says regulators and governments should play a more active role in controlling internet content.
In an op-ed published in the Washington Post, Facebook's chief says the responsibility for monitoring harmful content is too great for firms alone.
He calls for new laws in four areas: "Harmful content, election integrity, privacy and data portability."
It comes two weeks after a gunman used the site to livestream his attack on a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.
"Lawmakers often tell me we have too much power over speech, and frankly I agree," Mr Zuckerberg writes, adding that Facebook was "creating an independent body so people can appeal our decisions" about what is posted and what is taken down.
He also describes a new set of rules he would like to see enforced on tech companies.
These new regulations should be the same for all websites, he says, so that it's easier to stop "harmful content" from spreading quickly across platforms.
What does Mark Zuckerberg want?
The open letter, which will also be published in some European newspapers, comes as the social network faces questions over its role in the Cambridge Analytica scandal around data misuse during election campaigns.
The site has also been criticised for failing to stop the spread of footage of the Christchurch killings, in which 50 Muslims died as they prayed.
The video was livestreamed to the attacker's Facebook page on 15 March, before being copied 1.5 million times.
Mr Zuckerberg's letter did not specifically name these incidents.
However, the site earlier announced that it was considering introducing restrictions on live-streaming in the wake of the Christchurch attacks. On Thursday, it also said that it would ban white nationalism and separatism from the site.
On Friday it also started labelling political ads appearing on Facebook in EU countries, showing who the advertiser is, how much they paid and who they've targeted.
"I believe Facebook has a responsibility to help address these issues, and I'm looking forward to discussing them with lawmakers around the world," Mr Zuckerberg says.

A beloved community member passed away from this Earth yesterday, at the dark of the moon. Alan was a loving, magickal, fey, joyful, musical and fun person. He had also been through the depths of depression and emerged from that dark Underworld with much wisdom. He touched the lives of those of us who were blessed to know him, no matter how well or how fleetingly. His eyes literally sparkled with benevolent mischief and faerie dust. He facilitated creativity, healing, and community-building all around him. His twin teenage daughters carry the light of his energy and spirit. His family, friends and acquaintances will continue to work and play in his footsteps. Thank you, Alan. I know you're now in a place where you can freely dance and drum, create and delight, and continue learning. Enjoy your new adventures! Blessed Be.
so sorry to hear about Alan….

It's been loudly rumored since 2017 of intentional similarities between Twin Peaks' Sonny Jim Jones and PAW Patrol's Ryder, but even older rumors have been renewed after last Monday's PAW Patrol: Jungle Gems special event episode. As early as PAW Patrol's debut in 2013, there have been rumblings of Ryder–the boy in charge of the pups' rescue missions–being intended to be Dale Cooper as a boy.
In certain ways, of course the protagonists are similar. They are both the main hero of their shows. But it also seems more foundational than that. Both are lawmen but neither are police officers. Both are straight arrows with a strong moral compass. They prove themselves likable to everyone. Their intuition is top notch. They respect anyone they speak to and they are respected highly in return. And they have a full display of perfect courage.
We all know the Dale Cooper of Seasons 1 & 2 of Twin Peaks, but readers here may not have seen the 2017 PAW Patrol Halloween episode. Every single character in Adventure Bay was scared to death of unexplained events on Cap'n Turbot's pirate-themed costume party on his boat. Everyone, that is, except for Ryder. He was confident of an explainable situation whether he knew the answer or not, and he never belittled anyone for their fears. Total Cooper move.
Meanwhile in Adventure Bay we have Chase, the German Shepherd pup who drives the police vehicles. Chase so respects Ryder's leadership he almost lost his nerve when they lost radio contact during the Mighty Pups special event, but did his absolute best hoping the whole time Ryder would be proud of him.
PAW Patrol creator Keith Chapman has never hidden his Twin Peaks fandom, though it doesn't often surface in the shows that broadcast multiple times daily on Nickelodeon. For copyright purposes, I could see the similarities remaining extremely convenient yet unprovable.
But then there was Jungle Gems.
First of all, we have to talk about the monkeys. Their names are Candy, Mandy, Sandy and Dandy. Sure, they're not spelled the same as the pink ladies' Candie, Sandie and Mandie, but can it really be coincidence about the names of the four monkeys? But why four of them? I'll get back to Dandy later, believe me. Especially with how the episode ends.
It should have been a tip-off that Carlos and Tracker welcomed Ryder and the pups to Argentina, which they never do. I mean, they come from Adventure Bay. Never once has the show used real world geographic locations.
After meeting the monkeys, I definitely noticed the theme, but it became obvious when Mayor Humdinger of Foggy Bottom—major nemesis of the PAW Patrol—and his kitten catastrophe crew went deep into a nearby cave looking for precious gems.
The fact they find a scene mirroring this Twin Peaks Season 3 moment still floors me. So wild they attempted this in a kids' show.
In Jungle Gems this mystical box was massively important to the local tribe, and they were not interested in the kitten catastrophe crew taking it to the ever-interloping Humdinger.
In this show, the pups get it back, but it already turned its platform into an incredibly heavy silver metal and it took Rubble's digger to lift it when the pups were trying to return it to its sacred ground.
Humdinger possessed by a supernatural power.
A world of truck drivers.
And Dandy ending the episode talking gibberish in a close up.
I understand it's cute jabbering to kids, but Dandy sure reminded me of something else for a few seconds. And based on the rest of the episode, who could blame me?
I'm just glad the episode didn't get as existential as Part 18 of Season 3. It's nice seeing what could happen if the good guys won and balance is restored. I don't know exactly who authorized this at Nickelodeon but I applaud their audacity and guts. Looks like Ryder isn't the only one over there with Cooper-style tendencies.
I need to keep telling myself that it's April Fools Day, or this would make way too much sense.


As far as our general health and wellness is concerned, in order to ensure we remain as fit and healthy as we possibly can, it's important that we take care of ourselves on the inside, as well as on the outside.
With more and more people suffering from breathing disorders and difficulties every single day, it's important that we understand how some common, yet avoidable, breathing-related conditions work.
In today's article we're going to be looking at Bronchospasms and Asthma, placing more of an emphasis on Bronchospasms today.
Below you'll find a detailed breakdown on what Bronchospasms actually are, what causes the condition, symptoms, natural treatments, and how they differ from Asthma.
Bronchospasm Vs Asthma: What Is The Difference?
How To Treat Bronchospasm Naturally At Home?
A bronchospasm is described as being a tightening of the muscles which line the bronchi (the airways) in the lungs. As dramatic as this sounds, the good news is that the condition is very preventable and treatable.
You see, as your muscles become tense and tighten, this results in the airways becoming narrower, and breathing is therefore restricted. Subsequently this means that you will be unable to allow as much air inside, and outside, of your lungs.
Because of this, there is a limited supply of oxygen which can make its way into your bloodstream and be absorbed by the red blood cells. It also means that you cannot expel as much CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) from your blood.
Once a bronchospasm occurs, typically you will find that airflow is reduced by at least 15%, if not more. Statistically, it is individuals that suffer with allergies, or who already have asthma, who are at the highest risk of suffering from a bronchospasm.
Young children, and people aged 65 or over, also have a higher risk of developing the condition.
Now that we've looked at what Bronchospasms are, it's now time to take a look at some of the more common symptoms associated with the condition.
Difficulty breathing – The first symptom of a bronchospasm should come as no surprise to you. As mentioned, bronchospasms cause the airways to become constricted and to tighten, which in turn means we can breathe in less air.
This subsequently results in difficulty breathing and a shortness of breath. More often than not, breathing difficulty rates are mild, though in some cases they can be severe, which can then result in panic setting in, which only serves to exasperate the condition further.
Some individuals will also experience irritation to the airways, which can cause a tickly and persistent cough. As annoying as the cough can be, it can also increase pain and/or discomfort in the chest, which is obviously very detrimental.
Chest tightness or pain – Another very common symptom of a bronchospasm is chest tightness, or chest pain in general. Again, the exact amount of pain or tightness you experience will depend on the severity of the bronchospasm itself.
Some people experience mild tightness, while others experience so much pain and tightness that it can result in them worrying they may be suffering a heart attack. More often than not, the pain is intensified during the inhalation of air, as the lungs expand.
If you experience any chest pain or tightness, you should ALWAYS seek medical attention right away, to ensure that you aren't suffering a heart attack or experiencing cardiovascular issues.
Wheezing – When healthy individuals breathe in, as they inhale air, it flows freely into the lungs. If a person is suffering from bronchospasms however, the air will struggle to make its way into the lungs because there is less room for it to travel because the airways are so narrow.
If you imagine a busy 8-lane freeway, merging into a 2-lane freeway, with the vehicles representing the air you breathe, that's pretty much what happens when you suffer a bronchospasm.
Because the air is fighting so hard to squeeze its way through the narrowed airways, it can cause a raspy, wheezing sound. Normally this wheezing is fairly loud during the inhalation process, and can often be heard by other people in close proximity to the suffering individual.
Now it's time for us to take a look at causes of bronchospasms. As previously mentioned, people that happen to suffer with allergies are often more susceptible to bronchospasms, though asthma can also induce the condition.
What's more, studies have also found that swelling as well as irritation to the airways, can also bring on a bronchospasm. There are however, a number of causes to be wary of, many of which can thankfully be cut out to help with preventative measures.
Currently, experts are carrying out a series of tests and studies into common smoking alternatives such as E-cigarettes and vaping devices, to determine whether they too can bring on the condition.
You see, it has been established that nicotine does indeed stimulate nerves located in the lungs, which in turn results in the muscles tensing up and becoming tighter, resulting in bronchospasms.
As vaping devices and electronic-cigarettes are designed to help people quit smoking, the vapour breathed in does contain nicotine, so there is a chance that it could result in bronchospasms.
Research however, is still ongoing, so we cannot say for certain whether these devices do or do not, cause bronchospasms to occur.
So, we've established that bronchospasms are not the same as asthma, and that people with asthma are more likely to suffer with bronchospasms, but how do the two conditions differ?
Well, asthma is a condition which actually does not cause an individual any problems when breathing in, but rather when they happen to be breathing out.
It affects the airways of a person's lungs, and causes trouble breathing, and wheezing, though chest tightness, and sometimes coughing, are also common symptoms to watch out for.
Asthma typically results in inflammation of the lungs, or rather, of the airways of the lungs. It also results in the airways becoming extremely sensitive and swollen.
So, as you can see, although the two conditions are very similar, asthma is commonly associated with difficulty breathing out.
Bronchospasms however, cause the patient trouble when breathing in. Acute bronchospasms brought on by asthma however, can actually result in an asthma attack.
Before we wrap things up for the day, we'll finish off by looking at a few natural treatments and preventative measures for bronchospasms.
Practice breathing techniques – If you ever suffer from a bronchospasm, one of the best things you can do is try to focus, relax, and control your breathing. This is where it pays to practice certain breathing techniques.
When breathing in, we actually want to allow more CO2 to pass through the airways, as it has vasodilating effects.
Here you should practice taking in short, shallow breaths, coupled with nasal breathing to help prevent further symptoms and to shorten the bronchospasm episode.
Steam inhalation – If you are suffering from congestion and trouble breathing, steam is useful.
You can either make yourself a steam bowl by placing a bowl over your head, placing your head over a bowl of boiling water, and inhaling the steam. Adding a few drops of Eucalyptus oil, which has anti-congestion properties, is also useful.
Alternatively, you could visit a steam room and take a steam bath. Just remember that a steam room is not the same as a sauna, as the air in a sauna is very dry, and would likely make your bronchospasms worse.
Coffee – If you enjoy a cup of coffee in a morning then you're in luck. Coffee contains theophylline and theobromine, both of which help to open up the airways and allow more oxygen to be taken in.
Due to the stimulating effects of the caffeine in the coffee, blood flow and circulation will also be temporarily increased.
Stop smoking – If you are a smoker, amongst the many dangers associated with smoking, one of which is the fact that smoking can bring on bronchospasms.
Yet another reason to quite smoking, then, is to help treat and prevent bronchospasms from taking place in the near future.
Turmeric – Turmeric is the latest health supplement to take the world by storm, and for good reason. Turmeric contains an active compound known as curcumin.
Curcumin provides a number of health benefits for the human body, including anti-inflammatory properties.
As turmeric functions as a potent anti-inflammatory, it can help to fight and prevent inflammation in the lungs and airways, allowing more oxygen to pass in, and more CO2 to be expelled.
Can Bronchial Asthma Cause Neck, Back And Shoulder Pain?

Walnut Street Theatre brings Shrek to Philly
By Wendy Daughenbaugh
6abc Loves the Arts
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Everyone's favorite ogre is taking the stage this holiday season at the Walnut Street Theatre
Shrek The Musical, written by David Lindsay-Abaire, is based on the Oscar-winning movie.
"It's a really uplifting, fun, upbeat musical," says Siobhán Ruane, Director of Production at the Walnut Street Theatre. "It basically is a spin on your old-fashioned fairy tale."
The Walnut Street Theatre gives it a modern twist, and Shrek isn't your ordinary title character.
"He is basically an unhappy, disgruntled ogre who has been sent to live on his own in a swamp," Ruane says, "As his life goes on, he sees that he's pushed away; he's judged."
Princess Fiona, meanwhile, is waiting to be rescued by her Prince Charming.
"She kind of has a secret," says Julia Udine, the actress who portrays Princess Fiona. "She turns into an ogre every night at sundown."
She can't wait for the spell to be broken so she can take on love's true form.
"She's sassy. She's fun. She's flawed and imperfect," Udine says, "and it's so much fun to play."
Shrek sets out to rescue Princess Fiona and meets his sidekick, Donkey, along the way. Donkey gives the ogre a whole new perspective on life.
"At some point, we need to change," says Nichalas Parker, the actor who plays Shrek," We need to try to be better people."
"I think everybody in the show sort of has their own version of don't judge a book by its cover in their story," Udine adds, ticking off fairytale characters like Pinocchio and The Fairy Godmother as examples. "It's about tolerance and acceptance."
Songs like Build a Wall and I Know It's Today bring levity.
"The composer, Jeanine Tesori, she wrote some really fun music," Parker says.
"There's also a lot of sarcasm and humor that isn't necessarily for children but the parents get it," Ruane adds.
It all ends happily, as fairy tales do.
"Throughout the show, they come to find that they have more in common than they have differences," Udine says, "and they actually fall in love with each other."
"It really has a great message, that everybody has something to offer, something special about them," Ruane says.
And Parker points out, "There's nothing wrong with expressing who you are."

EBA Publishes Reports on Monitoring of CET1 and AT1 Instruments in EU
EBA published a new updated list of common equity tier 1 (CET1) instruments of EU institutions, along with the third updated report on the monitoring of additional tier 1 (AT1) instruments. The list of CET1 instruments is accompanied by an updated CET1 report, which includes information on the underlying objectives of the monitoring as well as on the consequences of including or excluding instruments in, or from, the CET1 list.
CET 1 list and report. Since the first publication of the list on May 20, 2014, EBA has included 13 new forms of instruments issued after the entry into force of the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and assessed their terms and conditions against the regulatory provisions with the aim of identifying any discrepancy with the eligibility criteria. In cooperation with competent authorities, EBA is also conducting a review of some pre-CRR instruments. In several cases, EBA requested amendments to the terms and conditions of the instruments, mainly relating to the eligibility criteria flexibility of payments and permanence. The CET1 report includes some background information on the monitoring work done to establish the CET1 list. Its aim is to provide external stakeholders with further guidance on the content and objectives of the CET1 list. The main results of the monitoring and assessment of CET1 instruments are summarized in a "lessons learnt" section. This section highlights areas where EBA believed it was necessary to amend the terms and conditions of the instruments or the national laws of a given jurisdiction or the by-laws/statutes of institutions to make a given form of instrument eligible as CET1 capital. The report will be updated regularly to reflect the findings from the assessment of different forms of CET1 instruments, either pre-CRR instruments or new instruments.
AT1 report. The updated AT1 monitoring Report is based on the review of 23 new AT1 issuances from EU institutions, which took place between May 2015 and December 2017, for a total amount of EUR 11.4 billion. Since the publication of the first report, EBA has reviewed 56 issuances for a total amount of EUR 44.7 billion. Compared with the previous update, this report assessed new provisions on calls, repurchases, redemptions, cancellation of distributions, tax events, and gross-up provisions. In the report, EBA noted that after more than three years of monitoring, the standardization of the terms and conditions of AT1 issuances is still increasing, with some issuers using the provisions proposed in the EBA standard templates, which were published in October 2016, for some definitions and others using them to a greater extent. EBA believes that this increased standardization is partly due to the guidance regularly published by EBA and regularly communicated by supervisors. As a result, a lower number of observations has been added compared to the previous versions. EBA expects that forthcoming issuances will retain an even more increased level of standardization. Finally, it is to be noted that the first issuances of AT1 instruments made after the entry into force of the CRR would be callable, with the prior permission of the competent authorities, in 2018. EBA will monitor AT1 calls and the rationale for calling/not calling instruments going forward.
