We don't know about you but here at It's Nice That, the month of September feels like an opportunity to start afresh, to set new goals for the rest of the year (or give those failed January resolutions another bash) and to make the most of the galvanising "back to school" feeling that we still can't shake all these years later. It's a month of renewed energy, optimism and productivity whilst the weather is still half-decent and before Christmas insanity begins to loom large in early October. Earth, Wind and Fire had it spot on when they classed September a month of "golden dreams", but it's also an incredibly busy one. From Fashion Weeks to London Design Festival to the end of the fiscal year in the US, even the Romans had their hands full marking it their Harvest month.

Translated into English, the Portuguese word 'margem' means 'margin' and that's a suitably chosen name for a studio determined to stretch its work beyond the limits of generic restriction. Founded in 2014, Estudio Margem is the brainchild of Alexandre Lindenberg and Nathalia Cury, who met while studying at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. It was there that they fell in love with concrete poetry, the Bauhaus movement and Russian Avant-Garde. "Since then, we have been seeking to find principles common to those languages and contemporary discussions about the clash between modernity and postmodernity", the studio explains.

"Think naturalism meets wabi sabi. It's about free-flowing asymmetry combined with clean, negative space, and a grid system.

From the Rector
On Strowan – Volume 14 // Issue 8 // 14 November 2019
More news for Rector
"...they represent hope for the future in their positive focus, thoughtful opinions, concern for others, connected relationships, and considered choices."
Christine Leighton, Rector
As the school year begins to draw to a close there is as always much to celebrate. Included in this On Strowan is a 'top successes' poster for St Andrew's College in 2019. It was a difficult task to reduce the vast array of team achievements plus many individual successes. As a College, we feel incredibly proud of the energy and effort so many students put in to achieve at this level.
As a school and a complex organisation, there are many things that happen externally which affect our business operations and decision making. I wish to draw attention to and comment on two of these.
The first is the PPTA Teacher contract settlement. The recent pay increase for teachers was widely applauded by Principals and Boards across the country in the knowledge that the demands on teachers have been increasing each year, and their pay relativity has been declining versus other comparable professions over the last two decades. It has been increasingly difficult to attract university graduates into teaching and in most schools, there has been an alarming decrease in the number of applicants for positions advertised.
The remuneration settlement for teachers was, in my mind, necessary and fully justified. Of course the reality for independent schools is this pay increase is not funded by the government, indeed the government subsidy for St Andrew's College for 2020 was reduced by 4.1% from 2019. This is a direct result of the $45.7m cap put on funding to independent schools in 2010.
ISNZ (Independent Schools of New Zealand) have been active in putting a strong case to the government for an increase in this funding for many years but to no avail.
Hence the full effect of the teacher pay increase needs to be shouldered by independent schools themselves. From June 2019 through to July 2021 most of our teachers' salaries (Pre-school, Preparatory, and Secondary) will have increased by 15.4%. With no change in staffing ratios, our teacher salaries will be $2.3m greater in 2022 than they are for 2019. This is a challenging reality for all independent schools, and we will continue to conduct a robust budgeting process to ensure that our resources are wisely used to benefit all students and target College priorities. The usual letter from the Board regarding fee increases for 2020 will be sent out to our community by the end of November.
The second area which may affect some schools in New Zealand is the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care in state and faith-based institutions between 1950 and 1999. A statement from Board Chair, Bryan Pearson, has been emailed to current parents and Old Collegians.
We were impressed by the positive group of 178 leavers who are graduating at the end of this year and believe that as a group they represent hope for the future in their positive focus, thoughtful opinions, concern for others, connected relationships, and considered choices. Our hope is that all our students will finish the year with the satisfaction of knowing they have given their best effort in all endeavours.
Ngā mihi nui.

2020 VISION FOR HARDWORKING RURAL DOCTORS – MORE RESOURCES AND BETTER HOSPITALS
The AMA today released its 2020 vision for Australia's hardworking rural doctors – and more funding for rural and remote hospitals is at the top of the list.
"It's been a tough year for Australia's rural communities, with droughts, fires, and floods dominating the headlines," AMA President, Dr Tony Bartone, said.
"Throughout it all, our rural doctors have been there for their communities, working long hours with limited resources, and finding it hard to take a break.
"In 2020, we want to see significantly more funding for rural hospitals, extra support to recruit and retain rural doctors, and support for the families of doctors working in country Australia.
"Almost one-third of Australians live outside cities. They have higher rates of major diseases like cancer and diabetes, they access Medicare at lower rates than their city cousins, and often have to travel long distances for extended periods to receive appropriate specialised care.
"It's no surprise, then, that they experience worse health outcomes generally than metropolitan Australians. They deserve better and should expect equity in access.
"Our rural doctors are working in environments and with equipment that are not keeping pace with modern and complex medicine, and the unique health and emergency demands of remote and isolated communities.
"The hospital infrastructure, the equipment, and overall resourcing are, in most areas, not adequate for the needs of local communities."
Earlier this year, the AMA surveyed its rural members, with three key findings:
The need for urgent and major extra funding to support improved staffing levels at rural hospitals;
The need for significant new funding to ensure that rural hospitals have modern facilities and equipment; and
The need for coordinated medical workforce planning.
"The good news is that our rural doctors love the work they are doing. Rural doctors enjoy treating generations of families, feeling involved in their communities, and tackling a wide range of health conditions," Dr Bartone said.
"Rural doctors just need more support to keep doing their work.
"The Commonwealth is taking steps to address rural workforce shortages, including the introduction of the National Rural Generalist Pathway, junior doctor training initiatives, and other workforce programs.
"However, much more is needed.
"The AMA will continue to advocate for better resourcing for our rural doctors and the communities they serve."
The AMA Rural Workforce Initiatives Plan outlines five key areas of priority for Governments and other stakeholders:
Encourage students from rural areas to enrol in medical school, and provide medical students with opportunities for positive and continuing exposure to regional/rural medical training.
Provide a dedicated and quality training pathway with the right skill mix to ensure doctors are adequately trained to work in rural areas.
Provide a rewarding and sustainable work environment with adequate facilities.
Provide family support that includes spousal opportunities/employment, educational opportunities for children, subsidies for housing/relocation, and/or tax relief.
Provide financial incentives to ensure competitive remuneration.

Now Council Tax is forecast to rocket: Homes may face 5% increases for the next three years
October 7, 2021 Dianne Reeves Online news
Council task could rise by up to five per cent each year for the next three years in order to pay for long awaited social care reforms.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), a think-tank, warned that under current Government spending plans, a rise of at least 3.6 per cent would be needed each year just for town halls to keep services running at pre-pandemic levels.
However, researchers said this would likely be a minimum requirement, with extra costs and demand potentially pushing bills to rise by up to five per cent each year until 2024/25.
IFS said that social care reforms announced by the Government last month are underfunded and would cost £5billion annually in the long term – almost three times the additional funding so far allocated over the next three years.
The stark warning comes in a pre-released chapter of the IFS green budget, the rest of which will be launched closer to the planned Budget and spending review later this year.
'The Government has stepped up with billions in additional funding for councils to support them through the last 18 months, it is likely to have to find billions more for councils over the next couple of years if they are to avoid cutting back on services, even if they increase council tax by four per cent a year or more,' Kate Ogden, a research economist at IFS and an author of the chapter, said.
The Local Government Association (LGA) said councils need an extra £8billion by 2024/25, largely due to an ageing population that means more will need social care [Stock image]
'The coming financial year is likely to be especially tough, with the likelihood of at least some ongoing Covid-19-related pressures, and a particularly tight overall spending envelope pencilled in.
'At the same time, Government needs urgently to deal with a local government funding system which is becoming hopelessly out of date, being based on population levels and characteristics in 2013.
'This results in manifest unfairnesses in the distribution of resources between councils.'
The IFS said that council tax rises alone would not be enough to deal with the pressure, with a £2.7 billion funding gap in 2022/23 even with a four per cent increase on bills in April 2022.
The £5.4billion allocated over three years for social care reform 'is unlikely to be sufficient to meet the Government's stated aims in full'.
David Phillips, an associate director at IFS and another author of the chapter, said: 'The funding announced by Government so far is unlikely to be enough to meet all of its objectives, in either the short or longer term.
'Without sufficient funding, councils may find themselves having to tighten the care needs assessments further in order to pay for the care cost cap and more generous means-testing arrangements.'
The Local Government Association (LGA) said ministers would not be able to rely on council tax rises alone.
'Councils continue to face severe funding and demand pressures that will stretch the local services our communities rely on to the limit,' James Jamieson, LGA chairman, said.
'Securing the long-term sustainability of local services must therefore be the top priority in the spending review.
'The significant financial pressures facing local services cannot be met by council tax income alone.
'Councils are particularly alarmed that the Government's solution for tackling social care's core existing pressures appears to be solely through the use of council tax and the social care precept.'
A Government spokesperson said: 'The Government has allocated more than £12 billion directly to councils since the start of the pandemic – with more than £6 billion available to spend as they see fit – recognising that councils are best placed to deal with local issues.
'We have also taken historic action to fix the social care crisis – the Health and Social Care Levy will raise £12 billion a year to fund the NHS and social care.
'The Spending Review will continue to focus on supporting jobs and delivering the public's key priorities.'
What are the higher costs coming down the track for Britons over the coming years?
National insurance rise – from April
The rates of national insurance are due to be pushed up by 1.25 percentage points from April, in a move that will cost households hundreds of pounds.
The move will raise £12billion a year, which will initially go on bailing out the NHS and clearing backlogs after the pandemic. However, in the longer term it is meant to be used for social care.
Boris Johnson has promised that no-one will pay more than £86,000 towards their care costs. However, that does not include accommodation and some other costs, with fears of a 'postcode lottery' as local authorities set different rules.
Initially the hike will look like a NI rise on pay slips, but later it will be billed a 'health and social care levy'.
Ministers insist it is fairer than other tax options because it falls on business as well as individuals.
To raise the equivalent amount in income tax would require an increase in individuals' tax of 2 percentage points.
A typical basic rate taxpayer earning £24,100 will contribute £180 in extra NI in 2022/23.
A higher rate taxpayer earning £67,100 will contribute £715. For the first time, the NI will be charged on people working over the state pension age of 66.
Universal credit – £20 uplift ends 6 October
The Government introduced a temporary £20 increase to universal credit payments in response to the pandemic in April last year, but the scheme is set to officially end on 6 October.
Close to six million people currently claim universal credit, almost double the three million before the pandemic, with almost 40 per cent of them classed as being in employment.
Thanks to the boost, a single person aged 25 or over has gone from earning £317.82 to £409.89 a month, a difference of £23 a week or £1,104.84 a year.
In that case, the £23 a week boost made up more than a fifth of the amount they were paid.
Citizens Advice has warned that a third of people on universal credit will end up in debt when the uplift is removed, with the average shortfall set to be of around £50 a month.
Research by another charity, Turn2us, has found that over half of people on universal credit will struggle to pay their bills when the cut comes into effect, with a further one in four unable to afford their rent or mortgage payments.
'Due to the way Universal Credit is tapered as earnings increase, it's not just a case of people picking up an extra couple of hours of work to help fill the gap, instead they will likely have to make tough decisions about what to pay for and what to cut from the household costs,' notes Laura Suter, head of personal finance at AJ Bell.
'Anyone who will be hit by the cut should check they're getting all the benefits they're entitled too – Citizens Advice is a good first port of call for help navigating the system.'
Thomas Lawson, chief executive at Turn2us, said: 'The £20 per week cut to Universal Credit was already going to leave many families struggling to keep up with the cost of living.
'This, now combined with a sudden surge in energy prices, could spell disaster and plunge thousands more people into financial insecurity or even poverty; especially those of us whose financial resilience has been worn away by the pandemic.'
Green revolution – coming years
Homeowners are set to be hit with a new environmental tax on gas as ministers try to force them to abandon the fuel in favour of green alternatives.
Climate change levies currently added to domestic electricity, which average £159 per year, are expected to be axed and new payments added to gas to entice people to replace their central heating boilers and cookers.
The move is intended to encourage the take up of heat pumps and other electric alternatives as they seek to make the UK net zero for carbon emissions by 2050.
Ministers insist the change will mean no overall increase to bills and could help increase the take-up of electric cars as it become cheaper to charge them at home.
However critics doubt that will be the case, and the change comes at a time when UK gas prices have hit a record high.
Mr Johnson has also pledged to make all the UK's electricity supplies 'green' by 2030, although again the government argues this will cut prices for households rather than increase them.
Stamp duty holiday – already over
The full stamp duty holiday came to an end in June, with the nil-rate band – the portion of a property purchase buyers don't need to pay stamp duty on – reduced from £500,000 to £250,000.
The tax break, which saved buyers up to £15,000 on their house purchases up until then, was cut back, with the maximum saving currently capped at £2,500.
But from the 1 October, that went too, as the nil-rate band will revert to the normal £125,000.
Stamp duty has been blamed for pushing house prices higher over the past year, with many experts anticipating a drop in demand, and hence prices, after its end.
And demand did indeed fall off a cliff between June and July, with the number of property transactions plummeting by 63 per cent, according to official figures from HMRC.
But many believe prices will hold up well in the coming months thanks to cheap mortgages and demand continuing to be driven by people looking to relocate to larger homes in the countryside in the wake of the pandemic.
'While there is likely to be a surge of property purchases pushed through before the deadline and a small drop in the month after, the early signs are that the property market isn't headed for a large crash – particularly while borrowing is still so extraordinarily cheap,' Suter said.
VAT reduction – already over
The reduced VAT rate on food and soft drinks for hospitality businesses was introduced during the pandemic to help out struggling pubs and restaurants, and has been extended a couple of times.
However, it will now come to a close at the end of the month – and could see businesses hike prices to customers.
On 30 September 2021 the current 5 per cent reduced rate will rise to 12.5 per cent, which will last until 31 March 2022, when it will rise back to the old standard rate of 20 per cent.
'Many hotels and restaurants decided to keep this reduction for themselves rather than pass it on to customers, to help shore up their finances post-pandemic,' said Suter.
'With food and energy costs rising it has provided a cushion for businesses and may have helped them put off increasing prices.
'But once the rate shoots back up it will be another squeeze on margins for businesses and means we'll probably see higher prices when going out to eat or booking a trip away.'
Energy price cap – from October 1
On top of seeing much of Government support scrapped, many families and businesses are also facing rising energy bills thanks to the energy price cap.
Some 11 million households on their suppliers' default energy tariffs will see an increase of £139 a year to £1,277, while bills will also increase by £153 to £1,309 a year for 4 million pre-payment meter customers.
The increased bills will start from 1 October and last for the following six months until the cap is reviewed again.
'Usually you'd be far better off getting off your provider's standard variable tariff and locking in a fixed-rate deal, but the energy market is so barmy at the moment that no one is offering a fixed deal for a cheaper price than the energy cap,' Suter says.
'This means everyone needs to face up to rising energy bills, just as we head into the colder months.
'If your deal has ended you need to weigh up whether you want to secure a fixed-rate deal now, at a higher cost than your current price, with the expectation that you'll be protected from rising energy prices.
'Or you can stick with the energy price cap rate and gamble that recent gas price rises end soon.'
Households struggling to pay their bills can also contact their supplier or ask for help from a debt advice charity.
Rising inflation and food costs
Inflation fears were fuelled again this month, when the headline CPI rate recorded its largest jump ever in August to 3.2 per cent – with the Bank of England predicting it could soar above 4 per cent by the end of the year.
Contributing to the rise was a jump in the price of food and drinks, partly as a result of the supply chain crisis gripping the country.
Food and non-alcoholic drink prices rose 1.1 per cent between July and August, and by 0.3 per cent over the year, according to the latest figures by the Office for National Statistics.
The average price of a pint in the pub across the country could soon pass £4, the ONS said.
Last year, the average household spent £277 a month on food expenses, but the latest inflation reading suggest this could increase to £285 a month this year, according to analysis by Royal London.
'Anyone who has been to the supermarket recently will have noticed that their weekly bill has been rising,' said Suter.
'A combination of shipping issues, driver shortages, supply chain issues and a leap in demand have all lead to a spike in prices – in July we saw the largest monthly rise in food costs.
'While you can't directly combat rising prices, you can reduce your food bill. There are lots of offers out there for using online grocery delivery services for the first time, which can get decent discounts on a shop.
'Or you can go back to the old fashioned methods of sticking to your list, meal planning and budgeting.'

A few years ago I blogged about SK 6363's durian buffet. That time, it was going for RM9/pax and only durian kampung was served. Now, they have upped the ante by offering eat-all-you-can D24 durian for RM16/pax.
Jalan Alor is filled to the brim with various restaurants and food stalls. Among all, Wong Ah Wah stands out for their famous BBQ chicken wings - a dish loved by both tourists and locals alike. The first time I was here was close to 10 years ago and I could vividly remember that Jalan Alor was not as happening as it is now today. Wong Ah Wah has since even added another barbecue stove to meet the increasing demands for their chicken wings.

we've just had 70m + of colorbond fencing put in by Southside Fencing and are really happy with the results and the service was great.
just thought i'd share as we only paid $60 per m (that includes GST) and they did the job in just a day and a half.
Good to know! We are looking for a fencing contractor to help us repair a fence that's falling over in my (rental) house (owned by my dad).
Thanks! It's always great to know about really good contractors!
Is that suppy and install, or just install?
there details are http://www.yellowpages.com.au/wa/maddin ... sting.html on here.. they also instal..
sorry for the delay in reply - yes, that's supply and install. They use genuine colorbond and don't charge extra per metre if it's on retaining walls - you just pay an extra $140 for the hire of the core drill. We saved heaps going throuh them - nice guys too!
Did they say why they can supply and install so much cheaper than others?
1) a lot of contractors are still charging premium prices likes it's still the building boom, whereas they are charging 'reasonable' prices.
I really can't see any problems with our fence at this stage. I know we were thinking hmmm - why are they so cheap and were half expecting a bunch of ******* yahoos but am pleased to say we are really happy with the result.
we have just recvd our fencing quote from southside fencing and they have come in the cheapest next in line was Champion Lakes fencing also.
they were $200 cheaper than champion, the service so far has been really good. great communication and easy to deal with.
Mark came out on monday and set all the posts then was completed by lunchtime the following day, we inspected it and all fine, and paid the final amount. still going stong and very happy with the result.

British Parliament votes to delay Brexit
Lawmakers voted 322-306 to withhold their approval on the Brexit deal
British Pound (GBPUSD)
By Steve Goldstein, MarketWatch , Associated Press
Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson delivers a statement to lawmakers inside the House of Commons to update details of his new Brexit deal with EU, in London Saturday Oct. 19, 2019. At a rare weekend sitting of Parliament, Johnson implored legislators to ratify the Brexit deal he struck this week with the other 27 EU leaders. (House of Commons via AP)
U.K. lawmakers voted Saturday to postpone a decision on whether to back the Brexit deal that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson negotiated with the European Union, throwing a wrench into government plans to leave the bloc at the end of this month.
At a special session of Parliament intended to ratify the Brexit deal, lawmakers voted 322-306 to withhold their approval on the Brexit deal until legislation to implement it has been passed.
The vote aims to ensure that the U.K. can't crash out of the EU without a divorce deal on the scheduled Oct. 31 departure date. But it means Johnson he has to ask the EU to delay Britain's departure, since Parliament previously passed a law compelling him to do that if a Brexit divorce deal had not been passed by Saturday.
The government still hopes it can pass the needed legislation by the end of the month so the U.K. can leave on time.
A defiant Johnson said after the vote that he was not "daunted or dismayed" by the result and would push ahead with plans to leave the EU. Johnson said he would not "negotiate" with the EU for a delay.
For its part, the European Union gave no indication it was in a hurry to grant an extension.
As lawmakers debated, tens of thousands of anti-Brexit demonstrators descended on London to march to Parliament Square, demanding a new referendum on whether Britain should leave the EU or remain. Protesters, many wearing blue berets emblazoned with yellow stars symbolizing the EU flag, poured out of subway trains and buses for the last-ditch protest effort. Read more on the protests
The amendment makes support for the deal conditional on the legislation to implement it being passed by Parliament, something that could take several days or weeks. It also gives lawmakers another chance to scrutinize — and possibly change— the Brexit departure terms while the legislation is passing through Parliament.
Johnson called any delay to Britain's Brexit departure date "pointless, expensive and deeply corrosive of public trust."
And he warned Saturday that the bloc's approval could not be guaranteed.
"There is very little appetite among our friends in the EU for this business to be protracted by one extra day," Johnson said. "They have had three and a half years of this debate."
French President Emmanuel Macron made the same point a day earlier in Brussels.
"I want us to finish this off and speak about the future," Macron said. "The Oct. 31 date must be respected. I don't believe new delays should be granted."
The EU's budget commissioner, Guenther Oettinger, told Germany's Welt am Sonntag newspaper that if British lawmakers reject Johnson's Brexit deal, the U.K. is likely to crash out of the bloc with no deal.
Britain could still leave the EU on Oct. 31, if Parliament approves the legislation — the Withdrawal Agreement Bill — in time. The government plans to introduce the bill early next week and could hold late-night sittings of Parliament in hope of getting it passed within days.
As lawmakers thundered on in their first Saturday sitting since the 1982 Falklands War, the streets of London turned into a sea of blue. Some demonstrators with bells strapped to their legs and wielding sticks performed a traditional morris dance and chanted: "Morris, not Boris!" to cheers from onlookers.
Johnson's hopes of getting the deal through Parliament were dealt a blow when his Northern Ireland ally, the Democratic Unionist Party, said it would not back him. The party says Johnson's Brexit package — which carves out special status for Northern Ireland to keep an open border with EU member Ireland — is bad for the region and weakens its bonds with the rest of the U.K.
The DUP on Saturday voted for the delay, and one of its MPs told the BBC it would vote against — rather than abstain — Johnson's withdrawal agreement.
To make up for the votes of 10 DUP lawmakers, Johnson has tried to persuade members of the left-of-center Labour Party to support the deal. Late Friday the government promised to bolster protections for the environment and workers' rights to allay Labour fears that the Conservative government plans to slash those protections after Brexit.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn dismissed those promises as inadequate.
"This deal is not good for jobs, damaging for industry and a threat to our environment and natural world," he said. "Supporting the government this afternoon would merely fire the starting pistol in a race to the bottom in regulations and standards."
The British pound /zigman2/quotes/210561263/realtime/sampled GBPUSD -0.0538% traded at $1.2975 on Friday night, an indication financial markets expect the U.K. won't leave the European Union without a deal.

What Josh McDaniels learned in his second Patriots stint
The long-time Patriots offensive coordinator will face his former team for the second time in his career this Sunday.
Mike Dussault
Patriots.com Writer
Photo by Eric J. Adler
Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels met with the Las Vegas media on Wednesday as he and his team prepare to face the Patriots, a team McDaniels spent over 20 years with, spanning two separate tenures with three-year hiatus in between.
Coming off a record-breaking 2007 season as offensive coordinator for the Patriots, then showing what he was capable of when Tom Brady was lost for the 2008 season and Matt Cassel spent the year at quarterback, McDaniels got his first head coach opportunity with the Broncos. He won his first six games in Denver, including an overtime victory over the Patriots, but then lost 17 of his next 22 games and was fired before the end of 2010.
After a year in St. Louis as the Rams offensive coordinator, McDaniels made his way back to New England, initially serving as a consultant for the 2011 playoff run to the Super Bowl then taking back over as the team's offensive coordinator as Bill O'Brien departed for the college ranks.
McDaniels opened up when asked about what he learned in that second 10-year stint that eventually led to him getting a second opportunity as a head coach.
"After I had my experience with Denver I think that was really an important period of time for me because I knew what I had done and what I had experienced and I got to kind of take some time and really try to soak it all in," said McDaniels. "I know I didn't do very well now I'm watching [Bill Belichick] the second time around and maybe the first time I didn't even know what to look for. Now I'm looking for different things... how he handles adversity, what he's doing here in the off-season, how he's handling the bye week, what he's doing an April, May, June, etc. that existed before I left. It gave me a good opportunity to look at it through a different lens and really try to take some time to process those things while I was watching somebody that's obviously the best that's ever done it and do it again.
"It's obvious I wouldn't be here or even in the National Football League if it wasn't for Bill, Robert [Kraft], Jonathan [Kraft], who gave me a great opportunity a long time ago. [Bill]'s been invaluable to me in a lot of ways. Hard to measure all of them. Obviously, football background, understanding how this league works. I got to see firsthand how to try to do it the right way. His philosophy on everything... off-season, training camp and season, postseason, evaluations, draft, free agency. He gave a lot of his time to me. I was able to hopefully pick up as much as I could. I still got a lot to learn. He was a great mentor for me not only in football but also in terms of when I got there I was 23, 24 years old. Basically grew up there. Indebted to them forever for that."
With one previous victory over Belichick and the Patriots under his belt, McDaniels will now try to repeat his success as his Raiders offense appears to be getting healthy just as their season's fate is likely already determined. Still, McDaniels is looking to lay a foundation for the future and knocking off a Patriots team that is trying to hold their current playoff spot would be an impressive feather in his cap, even if Las Vegas doesn't punch their ticket to the postseason this year.
"Obviously [the Patriots] played well Monday night, they're playing well," assessed McDaniels of his former team. "It's a team that you're going to have to do a good job in all three phases. They play really good complementary football. Nobody scores more off turnovers than they do. They force a lot of takeaways. They play really stingy defense. They don't really give up a lot of big plays. It's hard to drive the ball and make you covert three or four third downs on the drive, which is always challenging. They always have something new for you that you're going to have to adjust to."
Can Judon and the pass rush lead the Pats to the playoffs?
The strength of the 2022 Patriots has been their 50-sack defensive front and if they're to knock off the Dolphins and Bills, the pass rush will have to play a big role.

Newton is a black comedy about a government clerk called Newton Kumar. He finds himself in the midst of a conflict ridden work between two towns where he must fairly balance voting and voting and political process.
Reports of guerrilla attack by communist rebels he knows odds of democracy are stacked against him and voters fail to turn out.
Later the security forces have to make the electorate turnout to vote, soon Newton realizes they have no idea what the election is about and chaos continues.
Desire education security forces push forward and tell voters the vote machine is simply a toy and it must be used!
Trouble with security forces prevails and the situation degrades into Newton having to steal and count notes with a gun!
All this dark humour is poke of fun at the political climate in India and surrounding countries where security tightening has restricted and frustrated the world in events of recent terrorism and difficult political landscape.
The performances and dark humour in this film is excellent and the response from the viewers have reflected this with high scores and liking happy cinema pundits.
This film has even garnished awards and for this experienced and talents actors and production staff.
Kaabil is a slightly different Bollywood film about a crime drama, where a couple experiences a tragedy and have to fight for justice!
Rohan played by Hrithik Roshan is a blind voice actor, who through work meets Supriya (Yami Gautam), they get married and the future looks bright.
However events take a criminal turn, when after a date night on their way home two men presumed thugs, with connections to a local politician begin harassing them and suddenly they are separated.
After a heated exchange, they find each other and manage to leave. However the thugs follow them home and in the morning Supriya is attacked and raped!
This film is tense with well acted gripping scenes and with the poor couples situation turning from bad to nightmare!
I will not spoil but Rohan has to take justice for himself and this tense movie turns into a battle but who will win?
This film has be received very well and the box office figures demonstrate that. Reviews have not been so favourable, but they seem to be a little harsh for a film which is difficult to create effectively, well worth watching.
Toilet Ek Prem Katha is a Bollywood comedy and drama starring Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar.
Kashav's (Kumar) father is a priest and superstitious with the belief his son must marry a buffalo to gain fame and fortune!
Kashav meets Jaya and they fall in love. He wants to marry her but fathers superstitious tendances happen and he believes he can only marry a girl with two thumbs!
Jaya gets a false one to satisfy the father so they can marry. However Jaya is angry because Kashav's house does not have a toilet and orders him to make one!
This is a little silly and quite funny at times!
Kashav is embarrassed and runs away! The villagers try to help to build a village toilet, thugs then attempt to destroy with Kashav being woken up and having to stop this to the villagers and Jaya amazement!
In the further twist they become unhappy try to divorce and judge puts a stop to this because of the toilet being finished and the movie has a happy ending!
This movie is a ride of emotions with unexpected yet very funny plot lines. The actors are light hearted and good and the movies is very entertaining. A good movie which has done very well at the box office.
Another dark comedy about a layer and his wife who lie for business making the kill herself from the shame. The lie continues to create bad karma because the client who is promised the work has her husband killed in terrorist attack.
The interplay of the lawyer and client continues this money and power interplay throughout the movie with ironic effects!
The film is a moral story about the damage even a simple lie can do. The lie event effects trial and the justice beyond causing a surreal and out of world effect which is highly entertaining.
This film cause controversy being banned in one country and it seems to have done the ratings of the film good. The main actor has won an award for his work and the box office of this film is excellent.
Overall the film is ambitious and does well to rise to the challenge entertaining viewers along the way to its numbing end making viewers happy for their own lives.
The second film in the series, the sequel takes off from Baahubali, after exciting adventures from the first. Baahubali's son find out about his heritage and take on similar life to his father and similar events continue.
This is a sequel and continuation to an exciting and thriller fantasy movie. The son of Amarendra Bahubali, Mahendra Bahubali finds out that his mother had been caged and held by his Uncle Bhallala Deva for decades. Mahendra Bahubal later builds his own army with the help of Avantika and seeks revenge on Bhallala Deva. He does this through skill delegation and clever manipulation which somehow manages to win the kingdom in the name of goodness and prosperity.
The fire effects are amazing and this is obviously a high budget movie and entertaining to watch.
A roller coaster ride of a movie which is both exciting and funny, with good figures again at the box office.
Movie fans seem to like this excitement and have returned in numbers to enjoy the sequel.
These are all successful entertaining movies created by experience professionals, who all look like they are having fun and make movie making look easy. My favourite is the first movie because it raises some import issues in india and the east today and the other films seem to hint in a similar way.

I want to share with you a skincare product that has improved my life. Literally. Growing up, I've always had a lot of challenges with my skin and anyone who deals with any sort of skin troubles know that there are no easy fixes.
My skin struggled with eczema ever since I was young and I still struggle with it now and then as an adult. I don't want to get too in depth about what eczema is (there's Google for that) but my skin gets red, irritated, inflamed, itchy and super duper dry. So as you can imagine, I've tried a lot of different medicated and non-medicated creams and products in hopes to find different ways to soothe my skin. I know that there isn't going to be a product that will work miracles but even looking for a product that doesn't irritate or cause a reaction on my skin is difficult.
On a side note, I'm generally a pretty healthy person – I exercise and eat well but I'm going to kick it up a few notches and be a health nut. This will definitely help improve my overall health but most importantly, my skin. I bought a juicer and will start blogging about my journey to an even healthier lifestyle – stay tuned!
Now, back to MV Organics Skincare! One of my besties who also has hyper sensitive skin told me about this brand about a year ago. She raved about it as one of her favourite Youtubers, Estée Lalonde, highlighted this product in her 2015 Beauty Favorites! Best of the Best! video. Even though these products come with a STEEP price tag, I decided to give it a try! I made my way downtown to visit The Detox Market to check it out.
How I use this product: I mostly use this during dry winter months to give an extra boost to my skin. It's gentle and gives extra moisture to my super dry skin. I like mixing this with the below moisturizer or use it directly on my skin when needed. I only put one or two drops as it is quite expensive for such a tiny little thing.
Pros: Calms my skin from skin irritations and gives my skin extra hydration.

FAQ
===

#. I need to use version **foo** of package *blargh*, while the installer
   want to use version **baz**, how can I solve this?

   Use :ref:`dump_mode` to dump the requirements used by the installer, customize
   them and pass them again to the installer for the installation run

#. Packages are not correctly installed / missing in my environment

   If you're using Debina / Ubuntu, chances are that the version of pip in the
   virtualenv is outdated and cannot connect with PyPi.
   Usually upgrading pip in the virtualenv before running **djangocms-installer**
   fixes the issue::

        pip install -U pip

#. After installing the virtualenv, the installer exit with "*Pillow is not
   compiled with ... support*" / "*Pillow is not installed*" errors, what can
   I do?

   Pillow can be a bit tricky in some environments, so please check the
   ":ref:`libraries`" section for more detailed help.

#. I followed the advices above, but I keep having the same messages!

   Checking for correct Pillow installation can be a bit tricky: installer
   try to be smart but it may sometimes fail and report Pillow errors while
   errors lie somewhere else. In this case, please open an issue on github
   `project`_, or ask in the #django-cms IRC channel.

#. How can I configure the database to use?

   **djangocms-installer** uses `dj-database-url`_ to get database
   configuration parameters; refer to this package for more details.

#. The installer dies with an error like
   ``ImportError: Could not import settings 'foo.bar.settings' (Is it on sys.path?
   Is there an import error in the settings file?): No module named foo.bar.settings``,
   what's happening?

   Chances are you have ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE`` set in you environment,
   either by default or using postactivate virtualenv hooks or other tools;
   please check you environment right after the error happening (for example
   using the ``env`` command on \*nix systems) and remove any customisation: the
   installer requires that ``DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE`` is not set on the first
   run. You can customise it later.

Mounting pressure to plug gaps in income support
Business groups and MPs want the chancellor to announce further support for workers in his Budget Cubankite / Shutterstock.com
MPs and campaign groups have called on chancellor Rishi Sunak to fix the gaps in support schemes that mean around 3 million workers cannot be furloughed or make a claim for income grants.
The government has come under increasing pressure to plug the gaps in furlough and the self-employment income support scheme (SIESS) in the chancellor's Budget in March.
One group calling for more support for shut-out workers is the Gaps in Support all-party parliamentary group (APPG). It said those who have been excluded from coronavirus job and income support schemes – such as the newly self-employed, PAYE freelancers, directors of limited companies and the self-employed with 50/50 trading and non-trading income – should be offered one-off targeted grants ranging from £3,500 to £7,500.
Providing these one-off grants to the 2.9 million people excluded from support schemes would cost the Exchequer £10.5bn, the APPG estimated.
Liberal Democrat MP Jamie Stone, chair of the Gaps in Support APPG, said: "This scheme is affordable, simple to administer, resistant to fraudulent claims and will help protect people the country will need desperately in the months and years ahead.
"Crucially, failure to offer this support – support for people who have paid their fair share into our tax system – is likely to result in a far higher long-term cost to the Treasury, both in terms of business opportunities lost and in increased costs from unemployment."
Caroline Lucas, the Green Party co-chair of the APPG, told the Guardian that it was "completely unacceptable" that around 3 million workers had been left out of the support schemes.
"While it was understandable at the beginning of the pandemic, when the Treasury had to act fast, that some new support schemes didn't work as well as they should, it's a scandal that over 10 months later, so many are still falling through the gaps," she said.
Failure to offer this support – support for people who have paid their fair share into our tax system – is likely to result in a far higher long-term cost to the Treasury" – Jamie Stone MP
According to the Federation of Small Business, around a fifth of small firms have not received any financial support from the government.
FSB national chairman Mike Cherry said: "There are some extremely concerning gaps and misguided criteria. We need action to address these glaring omissions now. Budget announcements in March, with actual changes taking effect after that, will prove too late."
Earlier this week, unions and business groups joined the growing call for furlough to be extended past its current end date of 30 April, with the TUC having suggested it should continue for the rest of this year.
The Treasury has said funding is targeted at those who need it most, and those who are not eligible for government support schemes can apply for help via its strengthened welfare safety net.
Meanwhile, the new director general of the CBI has said the UK needs an economic strategy akin to the post-war recovery launched in 1945.
Tony Danker said the economy has experienced the "triple shocks" of Brexit, Covid-19 and climate change, and that the government, businesses and unions needed to work together on a long-term plan for recovery.
"I believe we must, and we will, come together to forge a better decade. More 1945 than 2008," he said in his first speech at the helm of the business group.
"Let's be clear. The scale of the shocks we're facing today – Brexit, Covid, and the climate imperative – demand a similarly dramatic moment of unity and foresight. So, what will we take from this crisis? Where, in our darkest times, have we made real shifts for the better? Most notably, of course, in the aftermath of the second world war, when post-war reconstruction gave birth to the NHS and creation of the welfare state."

Kirkuk Liberation Day in Iraqi Kurdistan Date in the current year: March 20, 2023
In the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, there are several observances dedicated to the 1991 uprisings in Iraq which resulted in the de facto autonomy of Iraqi Kurdistan. The anniversary of the rebellion is celebrated on March 5, and March 20 is observed as Kirkuk Liberation Day.
The 1991 uprisings in northern and southern Iraq began soon after Iraq's defeat in the Persian Gulf War. They were fueled by the perception that Saddam Hussein had become vulnerable to regime change due to the defeat.
In the north, the main driving force behind the rebellion was Kurdish nationalists who wanted Iraqi Kurdistan to have real autonomy. The rebellion erupted on March 5, 1991 in the town of Ranya. Within 10 days, Kurdish nationalists with the assistance of other rebels (Islamist and communist groups, army deserters and defected militiamen) took control of almost every city in northern Iraq except for Kirkuk and Mosul.
Kirkuk eventually fell to the rebels on March 20, and they gained control over the entire Iraqi Kurdistan. Although the rebellion was eventually crushed by regime loyalists, the Iraqi government fully withdrew from Kurdistan in October, allowing it to function de facto independently.

Q: How to copy a django project from one folder location to another? Am using eclipse+pydev to build my django apps. I created a new workspace, built a new pydev project then created an empty folder in the new pydev project. In that empty folder i imported my old django application. Eclipse copied all the files & folders from my old django location to the new workspace.
I made the necessary changes in the settings.py on my new location, pointed the templates & data location to my new location workspace folder.
But when i run manage.py runserver from the new location workspace folder, django seems to point to my old folder location. All the html templates seems to point to the old location.
How can i make django execute stuff in my new location?
What am i missing?
Edit:
When i run the server inside eclipse, everything seems to be OK! funny.
Gath

A: There is no reason why you could not move your django folder, except for the presence of some absolute file path that you added. You should never have an absolute path in your project.
You should use the following trick in the settings.py file, as explained in the django wiki:
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

# then for each subdirectory:
SOME_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'my_dir')

Then you can move your whole project without ever changing a single character inside.

A: I agree that something seems odd. Not hardcoding your paths is of course the first place to start. One other possible cause of the error could be that you have added your original project/app to the PYTHONPATH and that it gets imported from there instead of the new place.
If being on a *NIX-system you could symlink your old location to the Eclipse workspace.

Q: Is there a way to include ViewBag.CurrentFilter in my input? Making a searchbox, so im courious if i could implement the existing one into new style one.
I have a searchbox thats working and its commented in the code. Id like to include viewbag in my new searchbox but i can find a way how
@using (Html.BeginForm())
        {

                <input type="text" onfocus = "this.value=''" value="@(ViewBag.CurrentFilter)" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Recipient's username" aria-describedby="basic-addon2">

                    <button class="btn btn-outline-secondary"  type="submit">Button</button>

            @*
*@
                @*@Html.TextBox("Search", ViewBag.CurrentFilter as string, new { onfocus = "this.value=''", @class = "form-control", @id = "form-font", @placeholder = "Search", @style = "border-radius:0px", @autocomplete = "off" })*@
                @*<button type="submit"></button>*@

            @*
*@
        }

Button is working couse i tried it on the other searchbox, but when i type text in searchbox nothing happens when i click the search button

A: For Post, you should use from @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post)) and use type="submit" for input tag html.
@using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{

     @Html.TextBox("Search", ViewBag.CurrentFilter as string, new { onfocus
= "this.value=''", @class = "form-control", @id = "form-font", @placeholder =
 "Search", @style = "border-radius:0px", @autocomplete = "off" })
 <input type="submit" />

}

Starting a new category: Aliexpress Recomendation & Review

Along my techie profile and open source developer I’m a Aliexpress lover and I try a lot of items from this store. I guess everyone of you already know Aliexpress (do you image that I have to explain someone what Amazon is?) but it is a big store firstly focus on big demand of product of any kind but since 2014 started to sell items to individual customers.

They sell items from China of every kind, but my favourite are technology gadgets and items related to technology. They are very cheap but their quality is not great, so you don’t expect a premium item like a Logitech, Microsoft, Apple or so, but they do the work most of the time.

There is no site you can find a good review or recommendation about their products, like individual customers on non-oficial site to share their feelings and daily usage.

You can find things like the subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/BestAliExpressFinds/ but it is only links to the official web page.

So, in my humble opinion I want to fill that gap but this is not a "big review site" or I’m going to review every time available on Aliexpress but I’m going to do a review of any item I receive and I use with the price I paid and my experience. So, if you are a technology buyer addict, stay tuned for new postes about this topic!

Install iOS updates, even if they seem minor
Earlier this week, Apple released iOS 10.3.2 for iPhone and iPad. Any X.X.1, X.X.2, etc. update is typically considered a minor update which adds no new features and just addresses some bugs and/or security issues. Sure enough, the release notes for iOS 10.3.2 say that it "includes bug fixes and improves the security of your iPhone or iPad." You can get more details on the security improvements on the Apple website; where you will learn that iOS 10.3.2 fixes things like memory leaks that could allow an app to get kernel privileges, a flaw that could let an app execute arbitrary code, and a memory issue that could allow an app to cause a denial of service. But the concept of "security updates" may seem so unexciting that I'm sure that many folks conclude that they don't want to waste the time installing the update.
This week we learned, once again, that security patches are important. As noted in numerous news stories such as this one from the Washington Post, a few years ago the NSA developed something it called EternalBlue, a hacking tool that the NSA could use to access computers to help U.S. interests. But the tool was stolen by hackers, and after the NSA discovered that, the NSA revealed the tool to Microsoft so that Microsoft could patch the flaw in Windows that the tool exploited. Microsoft released that patch in March of 2017, but many computers had not yet been updated, and as a result ... well, I presume you heard about all of the computers around the world that were the victim of ransomware a few days ago, including a number of hospitals in London. As the Post article notes: "The malicious code at the heart of the WannaCry virus that hit computer systems globally late last week was apparently stolen from the NSA, repackaged by cybercriminals and unleashed on the world for a cyberattack that now ranks as among the most disruptive in history."
From a worldwide perspective, WannaCry may be one of the most disruptive cyberattacks. But for Rhode Island law firm Moses Afonso Ryan, the most disruptive cyberattack was last year when a hacker took control of its computers and the firm had to pay a $25,000 ransom to get access to its systems again after three months. Even worse, as reported this month by Debra Cassens Weiss in ABA Journal, the law firm lost $700,000 in billings due to the attack, and its business interruption insurer is denying coverage.
It is unfortunate, although perhaps unsurprising, for a law firm to be a victim of hackers. I'm more amazed that the NSA — which must be one of the most security-conscious organizations in the world — could even be the victim of hackers. If the NSA is vulnerable, anyone is vulnerable. And as a side note, this is the sort of thing I was thinking of when I noted in the past during the FBI vs. Apple litigation that it was foolhardy for the FBI to ask Apple to create a backdoor for the government to access iPhones. Even if a special key was created only for the government, and even if the government honestly tried to keep that key secret, the risk of it being accessed by bad guys is simply too great to ignore.
However, my goal today is not to reignite the FBI vs. Apple debate, but instead to point out that virtually all software and hardware can have bugs and flaws. Fortunately, when these problems are discovered, they can typically be patched. I don't think I've ever seen an iOS update that doesn't include at least some security patches. Hopefully, iOS 10.3.2 wasn't patching anything as dangerous as the Windows flaw used by EternalBlue and the WannaCry virus, but you never know. What I do know is that when Apple (or Microsoft or any trusted vendor) releases a security update, you should install the update. Maybe you don't want to install it immediately, just in case the update itself has a flaw. That happened in 2013 with iOS 6.1, in 2014 with iOS 8.0.1, in 2016 with iOS 10.0, and other times as well. But Apple typically discovers those bugs very quickly, and then pulls the update until the issue is fixed. Once an update has been out for a day or two, you can feel safe installing the update. Of course it is always best to backup your iPhone or iPad before installing any update. (I usually practice what I preach, but to be honest sometimes I just install the update and cross my fingers.)
If you haven't yet updated to iOS 10.3.2, it is time to do so now. Open the Settings app, tap General, and tap Software Update.


TV on Demand - Reduction in content?
Discussion in 'Cable TV & Virgin Media TV' started by rkenyon, Jan 25, 2008.
Has there been a sudden reduction in the number of programmes on TV on Demand?
Just going through last night, and there's hardly anything on there. About 3 pages a day, mostly from Virgin's own TV channels, with the odd BBC programme thrown in for good measure.
Yeah I've noticed that. Some shows I used to watch every week on it haven't been on there for ages now.
