Former opening batsman Virender Sehwag has become the first Indian cricketer to be included in any panel belonging to National Anti-Doping Agency. Apart from him, erstwhile Delhi batsman Vinay Lamba has also been appointed in the Anti-Doping Appeals Panel. Weight-lifter N Kunjarani Devi, who had bagged a silver medal in the 1999 World Championships, gained entry into the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel. The appointments were part of a major revamp approved by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
Minister of State for Sports Rajyavardhan Rathore had recently ordered NADA to conduct dope tests on cricketers featuring in both domestic as well as international competitions. Bracing for interference from BCCI, the Indian Ministry gave NADA complete authority on the issue.

Fighting a Graves Injustice: University of St. Thomas students featured on 48Hours
Apr 23, 2011 | 6:14 am
Professor Nicole Casarez and Anthony Graves in January
A still from the "Grave Injustice" preview, with the full-length episode to airSaturday at 9 p.m. on "48 Hours" (Channel 11)
Anthony Graves reacts during an October 2010 press conference announcing Graves'release after serving 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
When Gia Gustilo enrolled in the course "Innocence Investigations" at University of St. Thomas, she had no idea that her assignments would take her to death row, or that she would play a role in the landmark overturning of Anthony Graves' death sentence. Led by UST professor Nicole Casarez, the class's accomplishment will be featured on CBS' 48 Hours during a special episode Saturday night that explores Graves' case.
Casarez, Gustilo and her UST classmates uncovered critical information and conducted interviews that brought attention to Graves' 18 years of unjust incarceration for a murder rampage in Somerville. The 48 Hours segment features interviews with the university researchers.
"Being interviewed was interesting because we're newspaper people," Gustilo tells CultureMap. "TV is definitely a different animal."
The crew of 48 Hours had begun filming the Anthony Graves story in late summer of 2010, but had to re-shoot interviews after his unexpected release from prison in October.
"It was really amazing timing. They were planning on covering the retrial," Casarez says. "The crew of 48 Hours was actually waiting outside the Burleson County Jail when Anthony walked out the door. It wasn't what we were expecting, but of course we were all absolutely elated and delighted. Then a new angle arose: What happens next? Will he be compensated?"
When asked if the TV appearance was exhilarating, the 33-year-old Gustilo replies, "Nothing can top the excitement I felt after learning that Anthony had been released. The feeling when I got the call from my professor in October, and she said that the charges had been dropped, was incredible."
Will the students' work and 48 Hours segment result in a shift in Texas' draconian death penalty system?
"I sure hope it does," Casarez says. "He easily could have been executed were it not for a brave prosecutor who had the courage to do her job. Hopefully people will see that mistakes can be made."
The "Grave Injustice" episode of 48 Hours airs at 9 p.m., Saturday on Channel 11. Watch an episode preview below:
Anna Kendrick stretches her dramatic chops in Alice, Darling

Anna Kendrick in Alice, Darling
From the outside, it can be hard to understand how someone would choose to stay in a toxic relationship. When dealt with in movies, the situation is typically highly dramatized, often with a man getting his comeuppance in a thriller-type story. The new film Alice, Darling takes a different approach while still keeping the drama high.
Right from the first frame, Alice (Anna Kendrick) has a nervous energy about her, wrapping her hair tightly around her finger and constantly checking her text messages while out for drinks with her friends Sophie (Wunmi Mosaku) and Tess (Kaniehtiio Horn). The source of her tension is soon revealed to be her boyfriend Simon (Charlie Carrick), a gallery artist who seems to have a hold on her that's less like love and more like possession.
She agrees to go on a weeklong trip with her friends, but she's so afraid of Charlie's reaction that she lies to him, saying she's going on a work trip instead. But getting away from him seems to cause even more stress than being with him, with the idea of possibly displeasing Simon on her mind almost every minute of the day.
Directed by Mary Nighy, making her feature film debut, and written by Alanna Francis and story editor Mark Van de Ven, the film does an excellent job of imparting the pressure that Alice feels she is under. Although the scenes featuring Alice and Charlie together are limited, they sprinkle dialogue of Charlie manipulating Alice in subtle and overt ways throughout the film, showing the power he has over her.
Alice's frazzled state of mind also reveals itself in her treatment of her friends, who she's known virtually her entire life. She's standoffish in general with both, and especially testy with Tess, but she's even afraid to tell them exactly what's going on. Despite being on vacation at a lake, Alice never lets herself let loose, always worried about what Simon would think.
If there's a qualm to be had with the film, it's that it seems to be setting up a thriller-type story that never comes. Instead, the drama stays mostly interior as Alice struggles with her overbearing thoughts. Consequently, it's tough to get a full read on how deep the troubles with Simon actually go as the film only hints at the details of their relationship.
Kendrick has not had many great showcases in recent years, so this film gives her the chance to stretch her dramatic chops a bit. She does well, even if the role is a bit hard to read. Mosaku and Horn are not as well-known, but both put in effective performances, especially Mosaku. Carrick feels generic in a role that's only designed to show the character's bad traits.
Alice, Darling takes a different route toward exploring the abuser/victim dynamic, with that relationship taking a backseat to the one Alice has with her friends. It still contains plenty of dramatic moments; they just aren't the ones that might be expected from this type of film.
Alice, Darling opens in select AMC theaters on January 20.

Nonius Marcellus was a Roman grammarian of the 4th or 5th century AD.  His only surviving work is the De compendiosa doctrina, a dictionary or encyclopedia in 20 books that shows his interests in antiquarianism and Latin literature from Plautus to Apuleius. Nonius may have come from Africa.

Life

Little is known about Nonius.  The full title of his work, Noni Marcelli Peripatetici Tubursicensis de Conpendiosa Doctrina ad filium, indicates that he was a Peripatetic philosopher from Thubursicum in Numidia. An inscription at Thubursicum dedicated by a certain "Nonius Marcellus Herculius" in 323 AD indicates that his family was based in that area. Since Nonius does not mention Christianity and calls himself a peripatetic, he seems not to have converted.

Nonius quotes Aulus Gellius and other 2nd-century compilers, and is himself quoted and praised three times by Priscian in the 5th century, and so must have lived between these dates.  According to the Cambridge History of Classical Literature, he was probably active in the first half of the 4th century, although some scholars of the 19th and early 20th centuries thought he might have lived later in the 4th or even in the 5th century. More recently it has been argued that Nonius lived in the Severan period and can be dated to around A.D. 205–20.

Works
The De compendiosa doctrina is one of the major sources for lost works of the Roman Republic, including the tragedies of Accius and Pacuvius, the satires of Lucilius, and the history of Sisenna. It consists of words, a short definition, and then quotations of authors using the word.  It has been printed under a number of titles, including De proprietate latini sermonis and De varia significatione Verborum. It is one of three major Latin dictionaries preserved from antiquity, along with that of Festus, which was an epitome of Verrius Flaccus' work De verborum significatu, and the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville.

The first twelve of Nonius's twenty books are organized grammatically around words or forms of words, and the remaining eight by subject matter such as clothing, weapons, food, etc. Each entry of either type consists of a brief definition and quotations from Republican-era writers, taken from 2nd-century sources, including Aulus Gellius and Fronto, rather than the original texts. "His ignorance and inattention," notes the Cambridge History of Classical Literature, "diminish but cannot destroy the value of his compilation."

The research of W. M. Lindsay and later of Strzelecki has shown that Nonius obtained many of his lemmata (entries) and the first citation for each from earlier grammatical texts which are now lost. The remainder of the entries and the extra citations belong to 41 books which he either owned or borrowed from a local library. For each section (either a book or a letter entry within a book), Nonius worked through his 41 lists from 41 volumes in the same order, first to find the lead-citation, and then again in order for additional citations. Based on this methodology, it can be determined whether Nonius is quoting an author first-hand, or from a grammar which was full of errors.

The Doctrina preserves fragments from early dramatists, annalists, satirists, and antiquarian writers. In arranging quotations from authors, Nonius always follows the same order, beginning with Plautus and ending with Varro and Cato. The grammarians Priscian and Fulgentius borrowed largely from his book, and in the 5th century a certain Julius Tryphonianus Sabinus brought out a revised and annotated edition.

The Doctrina was edited with notes by J. Mercier in 1614 at Paris under the title De varia significatione Verborum. The page numbers of the Mercier edition are used as a reference in later editions (e.g. 121 M. means "page 121 of the Mercier edition").

Nonius also wrote a volume of letters On the neglect of study, which is lost but to which he refers in the Doctrina.

Sir, – Máiréad Enright, in her letter on conscientious objection to abortion (October 19th) states that the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018 says that if a doctor has a conscientious objection and will not carry out an abortion, he or she must "refer her to someone who can".
This is incorrect. The doctor must refer the patient to another doctor for treatment, but the first doctor cannot guarantee that the second doctor will follow any particular clinical course of action.
A patient might be subjected to an endless chain of referrals from one doctor to another, rendering the abortion service unattainable. Indeed a group of pro-life doctors could block abortions by only referring patients to each other, yet technically remain within ethical guidelines.
A chara, – Máiréad Enright states that "section 23 of the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Bill 2018 will allow doctors to refuse to provide abortion care". She adds that pharmacists and other healthcare professionals will not be "required to assist in performing an abortion".
First, the Bill only refers to medical practitioners – nurses and midwives. There is no mention of pharmacists or any other healthcare workers. Therefore, it is not surprising that, due to the lack of clarity in this Bill, so many people are deeply concerned about their jobs and their lives, in terms of potential legal or moral ramifications.
Second, she says that nobody will be forced to "sign a form" allowing a patient to access an abortion. Not so. A referral from a GP is an official document. According to the Medical Council, a referral involves sending a patient to another doctor to get treatment. Through this Bill, the State is telling all GPs that they will have to sign an official document which effectively implicates them in sending their patient to have an abortion – a procedure which they may deem to be medically unnecessary or that goes against their conscience.
Ms Enright believes that by forcing all GPs to refer, it will ensure that women can access abortion within the "strict 12-week time-limit".
This logic is flawed. Instead of having to visit two GPs, would it not be more expedient to go directly to one GP who has opted-in to providing abortion services?
If Ireland adopted New Zealand's approach to the provision of abortion services, there would be no conflicts for any person seeking an elective abortion, nor for any GP.
Ms Enright implies that a doctor cannot exercise their right to freedom of conscience when it puts a pregnant woman's life or health at serious risk, but she omits any reference to the health of the other life – which is most certainly "at risk" of being ended.
It is unconscionable to demand that any person should have to play any role in ending any life, anywhere.
This seems to be difficult for some people to grasp.

I think time will tell that he runs a great system and demands a lot from his players. Much more than the previous staff. Your 4-7 example by a young team with an extremely tough schedule combined with only 4 players knowing the playbook longer than 9 months is completely irrelevant. Let's have this conversation in a couple years. I've said that probably 10 times now in the past 2 months but that isn't gonna stop the same people from grabbing the pitchforks every time someone from Chicago signs with another school other than the Illini.
Giorgi is proving that this coach won't need a whole team of 5 star players to win.
Regardless of what the rest of the teams makeup is, how does a 4-7 record indicate anything other than this team not being ready for a P6 type schedule? I don't get how you translate Giorgi's game (which I mentioned was impressive considering his ranking) to BU's ability to win games? This is textbook "counting your chickens before they hatch" thinking. As it stands now, with or without Giorgi this team has proven literally the opposite of what you said, they've blown leads in most games, failed to comeback in a handful too. They have proven zero. I concede this team is young and unproven, but it also lacks talents.
I give props to BU (or whatever assistant you want to attribute) for finding Giorgi. I never even mentioned Chicago recruiting (and I even mentioned yesterday that I think in state recruiting is blown way out of proportion, though I don't expect you to have that knowledge) so I don't get that soapboxing.
Honestly, at the core of it, we are on the same page. This year was shot when we failed to be GT and ND (and come away without at least a win in Maui). Giorgi has played above any expect the most optimistic fans projections. Feliz, Kane, and Griffin have shown more than enough to warrant being on the roster. I'm exciting for what's next, but saying something as extreme as the fact Giorgi playing well means BU can win with more highly talented players is a ridiculous statement.
To add on to the analytics here, Kenpom has our adjusted defense (I believe some sort of opponent adjusted points per possession) at 92nd in the country. That may or may not sound terrible to people, but I'll note that the two Underwood seasons have been the lowest defensive ratings at Illinois since 2002, with the lone exception of 2016 (the catastrophe/injury year). Also, it ranks us 14th in the Big 10 currently. On top of all that, we only have 1 remaining game this year against a team who has not seen our defense already. One of the theoretical advantages of playing a defense that few others do is that it will be hard to prepare for, but that is less likely to be true against Missouri and the Big Ten than against others.
If this team played a similar schedule to last year. I think they would be 12-1 or maybe 11-2 heading into bragging rights game. Possibly a reach, but it was a WEAK non-conference schedule. Does this team benefit more with the confidence of having won heading into the conference schedule or will this year's tough non-conference and getting beat up a little physically and mentally position us to be more competitive in this year's deep Big 10?
If this team played a similar schedule to last year. I think they would be 12-1 or maybe 11-2 heading into bragging rights game. Possibly a reach, but it was a WEAK non-conference schedule.
Who knows what would have happened, but we likely would be underdogs in 4 of the 13 with UNLV as a pickem (based on how the other teams played last year). We would be quite fortunate to come out 11-2 IMO.
Well for the first time in over a decade we've only got single digits losses... That's a plus, right?!?
This board has not been too happy since Bragging Rights. Some reasons justified, others not so much. Although I will never tell anyone how to be a fan for their team, it's important to differentiate between the micro and macro moments/conclusions during a season. So I want to discuss out loud the micro and macro below. The micro will be this season, and macro will be the overall program.
- You. Yes you. Whether you are active and post on this board, or just casually read, or don't even know this website even exists. The fact that there is a passionate Illinois community that cares is the greatest net positive. If the passion and un-dying love for Illini Basketball remains, which it will, then the commitment to excellence put in place by our AD will continue. The sun will shine, all because of you.
I am sure I missed a couple of facts, positive or negative. But if anything, I just hope this helps you realize the differences between one game and one season/tenure. I hope you all had an amazing holiday season!
This board has not been too happy since Bragging Rights.

- Last trip to NCAA was when?
Like to think BU will succeed, but just looked at the schedule, and it is brutal. If we get to last year's skimpy win total it will be a miracle. Granted the schedule has been and continues to be one of the toughest in the nation. Perhaps we have the talent, it young and will be developed. I hope so, but not sure. I have a scary thought that our best game at the end of this season will be the 1st game.
Perhaps the scariest thing is that there is more optimism in the other revenue sport at this time.
We are on track to have the worst 2-yr period since 1973-75 when Harv Schmidt and Gene Bartow were the coaches, recruiting is not going well, we just got embarrassed by a pretty mediocre Missouri team and some posters see many macro and mega positives.
Macro Negative - The other conference teams are trending toward more macro positives and fewer macro negatives than Illinois.
Hypermacro Negative - we are relegated to lists that have macro/micro positives/negatives.


The United Nations is not going to be transformed by the election of a new secretary general, as Barbara Crossette writes, no matter the transparency of the process ["In 2016, the UN Will Be Transformed," Jan. 11/18]. It is the other election in the autumn of this new year—the election of the president of the United States—that has that possibility. Ban Ki-moon is a noble leader, a man of decency, ideals, and judgment, but he cannot force the Security Council after four years of slaughter and anguish to place the Syrian war on its priority agenda. His predecessor, Kofi Annan, was and is a man of "dignity, confidence, courage, and compassion." He could not stop the American invasion of Iraq despite mighty efforts.
Terrorism is an international enemy against which the strongest military force in history has only limited effect. It is an enemy that can only be defeated by the universal coalition that the UN represents.
The structure is in place to allow and cause the needed transformation of the UN, whose basic mission is defined in its charter as saving "succeeding generations from the scourge of war." The year 2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations. The General Assembly should act now to designate 2020 as UN/75, a year to confront "the scourge of war." The intervening years could then demonstrate the possibilities of bringing peace on earth by mobilizing the public and private sectors, by organizing the new energy of social media, by recognizing the extraordinary groups that have carried the struggle for peace against the seeming inevitability of violence, and by inviting "the peoples of the United Nations," in whose name the charter was adopted, to find their voice in supporting what has to be done. If the new president of the United States and the new secretary general of the United Nations welcome and encourage such a movement, the needed transformation of the UN will be well under way.
Barbara Crossette was the best UN reporter, but it is not helpful to leave Nation readers without a strong reminder of the accomplishments of the world's premier multilateral institution. Yes, the UN has many deficits. But a list of what it could accomplish in this new year would have been very much appreciated.
The UN's progress in 2016 will build on its record of feeding 100 million people in 73 countries, vaccinating children, assisting millions of refugees, organizing elections, working with countries to prepare their climate-action plans, serving as a universal presence in developing countries, promoting maternal health—the list goes on. We need to be reminded that 193 member states have representatives who sit down together in one room where no guns are permitted and agree on life- and planet-saving policies. This results in treaties and resolutions to protect children, secure women a place at all levels of decision-making, protect the environment, promote nuclear disarmament, put the force of law ahead of the law of force, and more. A big nod to the purpose of the UN—to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war—along with recognition of some of its achievements would have helped readers.
To say that the UN Development Program (UNDP) is invisible is to ignore the world press and social media. To single out one of the last remaining female heads of an agency who is careful not to "one-up" the secretary general in the media ignores her remarkable accomplishments. These include international advocacy for ambitious efforts and public engagement through countless speeches in support of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The UN is only as good as its 193 parts. Our world would be immeasurably worse without it.
It was good to see The Nation highlighting the United Nations. The challenges and opportunities the UN faces in 2016 are of enormous consequence, and Barbara Crossette has raised a number of issues I hope your readers and editors will continue to address. The appointment of the next UN secretary general is among the most important decisions that the international community will make this year.
As Crossette noted, the five "permanent members with veto," especially the United States, Russia, and China, all want a secretary general who will take their orders, allow their nationals to run the UN, and not make waves. The test in 2016 will be whether the other 188 member states will insist on a new, merit-based selection process that identifies a number of highly qualified candidates. If the Obama administration were not only to accept but also to support this reform—as well as relinquish the terrible misuse of the veto in this appointment process—that action alone could benefit the entire UN system for decades to come.
Even with major powers and government groupings constantly fighting each other, the UN has achieved major advances in its 70 years—not the least of which are its continued existence and the prevention of World War III. The assessed and voluntary budgets of the UN system—more than 30 agencies and programs—add up to less than one-third of the New York State budget! Could the UNDP, UNICEF, and the World Food Program do much, much more? Yes, but what they are achieving with small budgets is indispensable. The failures of the Security Council are the UN's most awful shortcomings, but again: How much worse would the effects of war and terrorism be without the 16 peace operations that operate for a tiny fraction of worldwide military budgets?
Thank you, Elias Muhanna, for introducing me to Shahab Ahmed and his work ["Contradiction and Diversity," Jan. 11/18]. As a Muslim Syrian American who has been studying Sufi scholars for many years, I thank you. It is the work that we have all been waiting for.
In the absence of certainty, Joseph LeDoux holds that the only responsible course of action is to proceed as though "the capacity to consciously experience emotions is unique to humans" ["Fear Itself?," Jan. 11/18]. Is pain a "consciously experienced emotion"? Is the claim here that we should assume that nonhuman animals cannot feel pain? If that is the claim, then I think this is a terrible assumption. If not, then I wish a distinction between pain and emotion had been made, so as not to confuse simple people such as myself.

Basic Functionality
Accessing Pages in PPO
This article covers:
Page names
History records
PPO has a basic structure that applies on all entities (projects, employees, risks, issues, tasks, scope changes, etc).
Every entity has a view page (for single records), list page, add page and edit page. Project related entities (entities related to a specific project, such as issues, tasks, risks, scope changes, documents, costs) will have a move page, a multiple delete page and a multiple edit page as well.
The name of the page will always appear in the top left hand corner of the page. In the example below the user is accessing the Issue >> List page.
In the next example the user is on the Project >> Add page:
The list pages for the projects and employees entities, will be shown when the respective menu items are selected.
To access the Project >> List page, click on the Projects menu item:
To access the Employee >> List page, click on the Employees menu item:
There are two options you can choose from, when accessing all project related entity list pages:
1. The first option is to select the project from the Project >> List page. The Project >> View Page shows links to each project related entity list page, as per the example below.
2. The second option is to use the Quick Page Locator. This icon is situated in the top right hand corner of each page. This icon opens a list of links to the list page of each project related entity.
The view page for any item can be opened from the list page, by clicking on the item from the list.
The action panel on the view page offers means of updating a single record, for example, edit the current record, delete the current record or add a new record. Links are also provided to the list page and the applicable project.
Documents can be linked to every entity in PPO. If a document is linked to an entity record, such as a issue, the document will appear in the Linked Documents section on the Issue >> View page.
For more information on documents, see the following knowledge base article.
Every change made in PPO is recorded in a history log. The history for each item can be seen on the View page. For example, to view the history of an issue, click on the issue and scroll down to the Issue History section.
A history record is only created when something has changed during an edit. In other words, if the user clicks on edit and again on submit without changing anything, PPO will not see it as an update and a history record will not be created.

Monsanto's Roundup may encourage blight - New Scientist (14/8/2003)
The evidence builds that the active ingredient in Roundup may be linked to a devastating fungal disease that has caused tens of millions of dollars of losses for wheat growers in the eastern Prairies in recent years. See also, 'Scientists eye glyphosate-fusarium link'.

Weedkiller may encourage blight
Andy Coghlan
New Scientist, 16th August 2003
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-08/ns-wme081303.php
http://www.newscientist.com
A WIDELY used herbicide encourages the growth of toxic fungi that devastate wheat fields, laboratory studies by scientists working for the Canadian government suggest.
If field studies confirm that the herbicide, glyphosate, increases the risk of fungal infections - which are already a huge problem - farmers might be advised to use it less. That could be a major blow for backers of genetically modified wheat in Canada, because the first GM variety up for approval in Canada is modified to be glyphosate-resistant. If it gets the go-ahead, there is likely to be an overall increase in glyphosate use.
The potential problem was spotted a few years ago by Myriam Fernandez of the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre run by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. She noticed that in some fields where glyphosate had been applied the previous year, wheat appeared to be worse affected by fusarium head blight - a devastating fungal disease that damages grain and turns it pink. In Europe alone, fusarium head blight destroys a fifth of wheat harvests. The fungi that cause the disease also produce toxins that can kill humans and animals.
In a follow-up study, Fernandez measured levels of the blight in wheat fields. "We found higher levels of blight within each tillage category when glyphosate had been used in the previous year," says her colleague Keith Hanson. And his lab study showed that Fusarium graminearum and F. avenaceum, the fungi that cause head blight, grow faster when glyphosate-based weedkillers are added to the nutrient medium.
But the investigators warn against jumping to conclusions. "We're deferring judgement until we have all the data," says Hanson. His team is now planning field and greenhouse trials.
Hanson stresses that the real issue is whether the fungi leave more spores in the soil. It is also possible that the effect is simply due to herbicides leaving more dead plant matter in the soil for fungi to grow on and is not directly caused by glyphosate. His field studies should provide answers next spring, he says.
Monsanto, the company based in St Louis, Missouri, that sells glyphosate as Roundup, as well as a number of "Roundup Ready" crops modified to be resistant to it, claims that glyphosate is already widely used without causing any apparent problems with fungi. Monsanto applied to the Canadian government last December for approval of its Roundup Ready GM wheat. It says it will be keeping a close watch on Hanson's research.
The team's initial findings are likely to be seized upon by anti-GM activists. But switching to other herbicides could be bad news for the environment: glyphosate is one of the least harmful herbicides, as it quickly breaks down in the soil.
Ironically, Syngenta, another biotech giant, based in Basle, Switzerland, has been developing and testing both genetically modified and conventional wheat strains that are resistant to the fusarium head fungi. "The results have been promising," says a Syngenta spokesman.

C. J. Sansom
Heartstone
Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction
National Book Awards Crime Book of the Year
2010 Commended
CWA Historical Dagger
Heartsone is C. J. Sansom's fifith spellbinding mystery in the Shardlake series.
Summer, 1545. England is at war. Henry VIII's invasion of France has gone badly wrong, and a massive French fleet is preparing to sail across the Channel. As the English fleet gathers at Portsmouth, the country raises the largest militia army it has ever seen. The King has debased the currency to pay for the war, and England is in the grip of soaring inflation and economic crisis.
Meanwhile Matthew Shardlake is given an intriguing legal case by an old servant of Queen Catherine Parr. Asked to investigate claims of "monstrous wrongs" committed against a young ward of the court, which have already involved one mysterious death, Shardlake and his assistant Barak journey to Portsmouth.
Once arrived, Shardlake and Barak find themselves in a city preparing to become a war zone; and Shardlake takes the opportunity to also investigate the mysterious past of Ellen Fettiplace, a young woman incarcerated in the Bedlam. The emerging mysteries around the young ward, and the events that destroyed Ellen's family nineteen years before, involve Shardlake in reunions both with an old friend and an old enemy close to the throne. Events will converge on board one of the King's great warships, primed for battle in Portsmouth harbour . . .
Continue the gripping historical series with Lamentation and Tombland.
A virtuoso twisting together of Tudor history and murder mystery that bristles with skulduggery, suspicious behaviour and sinister deaths.
Sunday Times Culture
Fans will need no introduction to Matthew Shardlake, the lawyer embroiled in dark secrets during the reign of Henry VIII. Newcomers can discover why Sansom's Tudor mysteries exert such a pull.
The best novel in this richly entertaining series . . . History never seemed so real.
In my review of the previous Shardlake novel, Revelation, in these pages I described it as the best yet. Well, Heartstone is better . . . Sansom is now so settled in his milieu and at home with his characters that the story canters along effortlessly, while Tudor England is recreated with such attention to detail the reader feels propelled back in time.

Estimates of child-rearing expenditures in single-parent families are not used by any state as the basis of their guidelines.
That's right. The so-called child support is an income redistribution scheme for parents, and has nothing to do with actual child-rearing expenses.
Why does the child support count over time? If I don't work over time, I can't support me. If I do work overtime, she takes me to court (every 8 mos.) and gets to see all my pay stubs. She claims she doesn't work. Even the judge knows she works. Yet the system allows her to take me to court over & over but does not demand she get a job. If I didn't pay DOR would be all over me! Only the non custodial parent is penalized for non support. WHERE IS HER RES-PONSIBLITY TO SUPPORT THE CHILDREN?

Gordon & MacPhail donates £80,000 to eco charity
November 27, 2021 admin 0 Comments eco charity, eco charity calendars, eco charity deduction, eco charity deductions, eco charity tax
Family-owned premium spirits company, Gordon & MacPhail, is donating £80,000 to Trees for Life, a charity with a mission to restore the Caledonian Forest.
The donation follows the sale of Decanter #1 of the world's oldest single malt Scotch whisky at auction.
The Gordon & MacPhail Generations 80-Years-Old from Glenlivet Distillery launched in September 2021, with the business making the decision to partner with Sotheby's to raise funds for Trees for Life.
In October 2021, a landmark lot went under the hammer at Sotheby's in Hong Kong, which included decanter #1, a tasting experience, the framed cask end and a one-of-one lithograph featuring the original concept drawings devised by creative partner, Sir David Adjaye.
After costs, auction proceeds of £80,000 have been donated to Trees for Life to help fund their tree nursey at Dundreggan near Glenmoriston in Inverness-shire.
The fifth release in Gordon & MacPhail's Generations series, the 80-Years-Old release from Glenlivet Distillery is presented in a stunningly complicate decanter and oak pavilion designed by internationally acclaimed architect and designer, Sir David Adjaye, aligned to a creative theme of 'Artistry in Oak'.
Ewen Mackintosh, managing director, Gordon & MacPhail (left) with Steve Micklewright, CEO, Trees for Life
Trees for Life, a conservation charity based in Findhorn, has planted nearly two million trees since its inception in 1993. It has a mission to revitalise the wild forest in the Scottish Highlands, providing space for wildlife to prosper and communities to thrive. To kick off the partnership earlier this year, six colleagues from Gordon & MacPhail visited the Trees for Life nursery and planted a number of oak trees.
Ewen Mackintosh, managing director, Gordon & MacPhail, said: 'We chose to partner with Trees for Life because we believe our organisations are closely aligned. We're both focused on creating future legacies.
'Much like a golden anniversary is symbolised with gold, an 80th is traditionally commemorated by oak, so the theme and partnership was a natural fit. Our whiskies are often decades, if not generations, in the making and Trees for Life are also planning for the long term so we are very proud to sustain their mission.'
Steve Micklewright, CEO, Trees for Life, additional: 'The partnership and generous contribution will have a meaningful, positive impact on our nursery at Dundreggan. Funding will help us to grow more than 80,000 scarce, native trees from seed each year, restoring and enhancing Scotland's natural ecosystem for all.'

Floristic Quality Assessment (FQA) is a tool used to assess an area's ecological integrity based on its plant species composition. Floristic Quality Assessment was originally developed in order to assess the likelihood that impacts to an area "would be irreversible or irretrievable...to make standard comparisons among various open land areas, to set  conservation priorities, and to monitor site management or restoration efforts." The concept was developed by Gerould Wilhelm in the 1970s in a report on the natural lands of Kane County, Illinois. In 1979 Wilhelm and Floyd Swink codified this "scoring system"
for the 22-county Chicago Region.

Coefficient of conservatism

Each plant species in a region is assigned a coefficient of conservatism, also known as a C-value, ranging between 0 and 10. A plant species with a higher score (e.g. 10) has a lower tolerance to environmental degradation such as overgrazing or development and therefore is naturally restricted to undisturbed, remnant habitats. Non-native plants are either assigned a C-value of 0 or are excluded from assessments. In the Chicago Region, 84% of the native plant species have a C-value of 4 or greater. Plants with a C-value of 4 or greater rarely naturally move from a remnant area to surrounding degraded land. For example, the federally endangered Dalea foliosa has a C-value of 10.

C-values are assigned within specific ecological and geographic regions by botanical experts familiar with the species' autecology within the respective regions. , there were more than 50 different FQA databases ranging from the Gulf Coastal Plain to western Washington, though most databases represented regions in the eastern and central United States and Canada.

The mean C-value () is calculated based on an inventory of plants. An area with a native mean C-value of 3.5  or higher likely has "sufficient floristic quality to be of at least marginal natural area quality." Remnant natural areas with mean C-values of 4.0 or greater are unmitigable.

Floristic Quality Index
The Floristic Quality Index (FQI, or Rating Index according to Swink and Wilhelm) is calculated by multiplying the mean C value by the square root of the total number of species:

For example, the FQI for Nelson Lake Marsh was 78 in 1994  and that for Russell R. Kirt Prairie was about 30 in 1999.

Danny O'Brien's winter carnival prospects look bright after talented stayer Ballack produced a sterling Brisbane Cup trial at Doomben on Saturday.
The much-travelled Ballack made a successful return to Brisbane when his rider Damien Oliver took full advantage of a rails run in the straight to win the Group 3 Chairman's Handicap (2020m).
Balllack raced in Brisbane last year when he recorded a controversial protest win in the Group 3 Tattersall's Cup (2200m) at Eagle Farm before pulling up lame when beaten in the Caloundra Cup (2400m).
He has since raced in Western Australia where he was placed in the Perth Cup on January 1 before O'Brien gave him a break to prepare for an another Brisbane campaign.
O'Brien has the Brisbane Cup at Eagle Farm on June 6 top of his priorities.
"He's here for the Brisbane Cup and we'll get through that before we look at anything else," O'Brien said.
Ballack recorded his first win since his Tattersall's Cup victory when Oliver drove him along the rails in the last 200m to beat the Gai Waterhouse-trained Rabbuka and a host of other Brisbane Cup candidates.
He surprised O'Brien by finding winning form at only his second start since resuming with a fifth at Flemington on Anzac Day, a positive sign for his future Brisbane races.
O'Brien liking for European soccer is behind the naming of the stayer as he is named after Chelsea German star Michael Ballack.

Will Seattle fans love these Seattle Seahawks…Harvin, Sherman, and all?
Home / Comedic Prose / Will Seattle fans love these Seattle Seahawks…Harvin, Sherman, and all?
The Seattle Seahawks have undergone a transformation. They have distanced themselves from the passive aggressive organization; that was happy to have a serviceable quarterback, a running back that accumulated empty stats, and a false profit1 (Mike Holmgren) making all the decisions. Now there a team straight of the Pete Carroll handbook, which states in section 1-13 do whatever you want, just win. That's the motto of these Seattle Seahawks. They have a bunch of talented players that pop pill, steal donuts, and grow dreadlocks. And oh! There are so many dreadlocks on this team. (The dreadlock to regular hair ratio can be an indicator of how much MEAT your team has. If you don't believe me, watch college football team in the SEC). Basically Pete Carroll has assembled the team that the NCAA wouldn't allow him to. This attitude will only get stronger with the addition of Percy Harvin. Harvin was a malcontent in Minnesota and at the University of Florida. However, he was the best player on a National Championship team, and has been an all-purpose yard monster in the NFL. He can be both your kick returner and number one wide receiver. Instantly he makes a team that struggled to score at times last year, one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL. If the Seahawks can find a way to manage his mood swings, this additon can propel them to the super bowl. The question is, what are the fans thinking? These Seahawks are challenging the way Seattle fans like to enjoy their sports. From the time Pete Carroll started making high risk front office moves, to the day Richard Sherman mouth showed up in the playoffs. The casual Seattle fan has been rooting cautiously…because they're winning. Seattle would prefer that you played your game, without being boisterous. If you can do that, marginal success will not only be accepted, but it will be idolized. Please see Jake Locker, Ichiro Suzuki, Felix Hernandez, and Shawn Alexander. As soon as this team starts losing, character criticism will come. If the Seahawks go 4 and 12, the casual Seattle Seahawk fan will admonish the behavior that they find disturbingly endearing now. The first person to be ridiculed will be Richard Sherman, who has the biggest mouth in the NFL (he should probably be admonished now, but dude is funny). Eventually he will be ran out of town, and followed by Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice, Marshawn Lynch, and all the other dreadlocks on the team. But now is not the time to think of the demise of a team that Seattle doesn't really like. Now is the time to enjoy crazy Carroll and all his wheeling and dealing. I challenge you to immerse yourself into this team full of crazy talent. And maybe, just maybe, you can get a super bowl out of this thing…or maybe they will just piss you off.

Bridge Street AWME Church
The oldest African-American congregation in Brooklyn
Institution, Highlights in Central Brooklyn, African/ American, Place of Worship
Established in 1818, the Bridge Street African Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal (AWME) Church is home to the oldest African-American congregation in Brooklyn. Long a refuge and a resource in its neighborhood, the church now also has a community development affiliate organization, the Bridge Street Development Corporation.
Originally known simply as the African Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal (AWME) Church, the Bridge Street AWME Church was founded in downtown Brooklyn and moved to Bridge Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant in 1854. In 1938, it moved for the final time to its current location in a gothic-style church on Stuyvesant Avenue.
The church's early history as a community resource includes the establishment in 1827 of an African Free School called Colored School No. 1, and its purported role as a stop on the Underground Railroad. It also served as a refuge for Blacks fleeing the 1863 draft riots in Manhattan.
In 1995, the church's then-pastor Rev. Fred...
In 1995, the church's then-pastor Rev. Fred A. Lewis led the drive to create the Bridge Street Development Corporation. This community development organization was designed to be the economic development arm of the church, similar in structure to the Abyssian Development Corporation in Harlem. As of 2004, both the church and the development corporation continue to serve the spiritual and practical needs of the Bedford-Stuyvesant community.

What is Load Balancing?
Load Balancing	WAF	Service Mesh	Intent-based Networking
An Introduction to Load Balancing
Load Balancing Definition: Load balancing is the process of distributing network traffic across multiple servers. This ensures no single server bears too much demand. By spreading the work evenly, load balancing improves application responsiveness. It also increases availability of applications and websites for users. Modern applications cannot run without load balancers. Over time, software load balancers have added additional capabilities including security and application.
About Load Balancers
As an organization meets demand for its applications, the load balancer decides which servers can handle that traffic. This maintains a good user experience.
Load balancers manage the flow of information between the server and an endpoint device (PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone). The server could be on-premises, in a data center or the public cloud. The server can also be physical or virtualized. The load balancer helps servers move data efficiently, optimizes the use of application delivery resources and prevents server overloads. Load balancers conduct continuous health checks on servers to ensure they can handle requests. If necessary, the load balancer removes unhealthy servers from the pool until they are restored. Some load balancers even trigger the creation of new virtualized application servers to cope with increased demand.
Traditionally, load balancers consist of a hardware appliance. Yet they are increasingly becoming software-defined. This is why load balancers are an essential part of an organization's digital strategy.
History of Load Balancing
Load balancing got its start in the 1990s as hardware appliances distributing traffic across a network. Organizations wanted to improve accessibility of applications running on servers. Eventually, load balancing took on more responsibilities with the advent of Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs). They provide security along with seamless access to applications at peak times.
ADCs fall into three categories: hardware appliances, virtual appliances (essentially the software extracted from legacy hardware) and software-native load balancers. As computing moves to the cloud, software ADCs perform similar tasks to hardware. They also come with added functionality and flexibility. They let an organization quickly and securely scale up its application services based on demand in the cloud. Modern ADCs allow organizations to consolidate network-based services. Those services include SSL/TLS offload, caching, compression, intrusion detection and web application firewalls. This creates even shorter delivery times and greater scalability.
Load Balancing and SSL
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. SSL traffic is often decrypted at the load balancer. When a load balancer decrypts traffic before passing the request on, it is called SSL termination. The load balancer saves the web servers from having to expend the extra CPU cycles required for decryption. This improves application performance.
However, SSL termination comes with a security concern. The traffic between the load balancers and the web servers is no longer encrypted. This can expose the application to possible attack. However, the risk is lessened when the load balancer is within the same data center as the web servers.
Another solution is the SSL pass-through. The load balancer merely passes an encrypted request to the web server. Then the web server does the decryption. This uses more CPU power on the web server. But organizations that require extra security may find the extra overhead worthwhile.
Load Balancing and Security
Load Balancing plays an important security role as computing moves evermore to the cloud. The off-loading function of a load balancer defends an organization against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. It does this by shifting attack traffic from the corporate server to a public cloud provider. DDoS attacks represent a large portion of cybercrime as their number and size continues to rise. Hardware defense, such as a perimeter firewall, can be costly and require significant maintenance. Software load balancers with cloud offload provide efficient and cost-effective protection.
Load Balancing Algorithms
There is a variety of load balancing methods, which use different algorithms best suited for a particular situation.
Least Connection Method — directs traffic to the server with the fewest active connections. Most useful when there are a large number of persistent connections in the traffic unevenly distributed between the servers.
Least Response Time Method — directs traffic to the server with the fewest active connections and the lowest average response time.
Round Robin Method — rotates servers by directing traffic to the first available server and then moves that server to the bottom of the queue. Most useful when servers are of equal specification and there are not many persistent connections.
IP Hash — the IP address of the client determines which server receives the request.
Load balancing has become a necessity as applications become more complex, user demand grows and traffic volume increases. Load balancers allow organizations to build flexible networks that can meet new challenges without compromising security, service or performance.
Load Balancing Benefits
Load balancing can do more than just act as a network traffic cop. Software load balancers provide benefits like predictive analytics that determine traffic bottlenecks before they happen. As a result, the software load balancer gives an organization actionable insights. These are key to automation and can help drive business decisions.
In the seven-layer Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, network firewalls are at levels one to three (L1-Physical Wiring, L2-Data Link and L3-Network). Meanwhile, load balancing happens between layers four to seven (L4-Transport, L5-Session, L6-Presentation and L7-Application).
Load balancers have different capabilities, which include:
L4 — directs traffic based on data from network and transport layer protocols, such as IP address and TCP port.
L7 — adds content switching to load balancing. This allows routing decisions based on attributes like HTTP header, uniform resource identifier, SSL session ID and HTML form data.
GSLB — Global Server Load Balancing extends L4 and L7 capabilities to servers in different geographic locations.
More enterprises are seeking to deploy cloud-native applications in data centers and public clouds. This is leading to significant changes in the capability of load balancers. In turn, this creates both challenges and opportunities for infrastructure and operations leaders.

Software Load Balancers vs. Hardware Load Balancers
Load balancers run as hardware appliances or are software-defined. Hardware appliances often run proprietary software optimized to run on custom processors. As traffic increases, the vendor simply adds more load balancing appliances to handle the volume. Software defined load balancers usually run on less-expensive, standard Intel x86 hardware. Installing the software in cloud environments like AWS EC2 eliminates the need for a physical appliance.
Software Pros
Flexibility to adjust for changing needs.
Ability to scale beyond initial capacity by adding more software instances.
Lower cost than purchasing and maintaining physical machines. Software can run on any standard device, which tends to be cheaper.
Allows for load balancing in the cloud, which provides a managed, off-site solution that can draw resources from an elastic network of servers. Cloud computing also allows for the flexibility of hybrid hosted and in-house solutions. The main load balancer could be in-house while the backup is a cloud load balancer.
Software Cons
When scaling beyond initial capacity, there can be some delay while configuring load balancer software.
Ongoing costs for upgrades.
Hardware Pros
Fast throughput due to software running on specialized processors.
Increased security since only the organization can access the servers physically.
Fixed cost once purchased.
Hardware Cons
Require more staff and expertise to configure and program the physical machines.
Inability to scale when the set limit on number of connections has been made. Connections are refused or service degraded until additional machines are purchased and installed.
Higher cost for purchase and maintenance of physical network load balancer. Owning a hardware load balancer may also require paying for consultants to manage it.
Types of Load Balancing
SDN — Load balancing using SDN (software-defined networking) separates the control plane from the data plane for application delivery. This allows the control of multiple load balancing. It also helps the network to function like the virtualized versions of compute and storage. With the centralized control, networking policies and parameters can be programmed directly for more responsive and efficient application services. This is how networks can become more agile.
UDP — A UDP load balancer utilizes User Datagram Protocol (UDP). UDP load balancing is often used for live broadcasts and online games when speed is important and there is little need for error correction. UDP has low latency because it does not provide time-consuming health checks.
TCP — A TCP load balancer uses transmission control protocol (TCP). TCP load balancing provides a reliable and error-checked stream of packets to IP addresses, which can otherwise easily be lost or corrupted.
SLB— Server Load Balancing (SLB) provides network services and content delivery using a series of load balancing algorithms. It prioritizes responses to the specific requests from clients over the network. Server load balancing distributes client traffic to servers to ensure consistent, high-performance application delivery.
Virtual — Virtual load balancing aims to mimic software-driven infrastructure through virtualization. It runs the software of a physical load balancing appliance on a virtual machine. Virtual load balancers, however, do not avoid the architectural challenges of traditional hardware appliances which include limited scalability and automation, and lack of central management.
Elastic — Elastic Load Balancing scales traffic to an application as demand changes over time. It uses system health checks to learn the status of application pool members (application servers) and routes traffic appropriately to available servers, manages fail-over to high availability targets, or automatically spins-up additional capacity.
Geographic — Geographic load balancing redistributes application traffic across data centers in different locations for maximum efficiency and security. While local load balancing happens within a single data center, geographic load balancing uses multiple data centers in many locations.
Multi-site — Multi-site load balancing, also known as global server load balancing (GSLB), distributes traffic across servers located in multiple sites or locations around the world. The servers can be on-premises or hosted in a public or private cloud. Multi-site load balancing is important for quick disaster recovery and business continuity after a disaster in one location renders a server inoperable.
Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS) — Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS) uses advances in load balancing technology to meet the agility and application traffic demands of organizations implementing private cloud infrastructure. Using an as-a-service model, LBaaS creates a simple model for application teams to spin up load balancers.

Q: How to access vmware's virtual machine from host windows I am using Ubuntu Server as virtual machine using VMWare inside Windows 7 as host. I can access Windows 7 folders from Ubuntu machine through sharing settings. I'm developing a website on localhost in Ubuntu which i access at http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (using Ubuntu's browser) but when i put the same address into Windows 7's browser, it doesn't loads the website.
How can i access (localhost ) websites which are being accessed inside Ubuntu machine's browser.
What settings to look for? Please Suggest.

A: On ubuntu server in terminal type ifconfigto see IP address of that server, you should get output like:
# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr ...
          inet addr:192.168.100.106  Bcast:192.168.100.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:5720413 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:6295478 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

In this example IP is 192.168.100.106.
So in browser type http://192.168.100.106:5000/

A: I had the same issue, and found an answer on Stack: Flask - configure dev server to be visible across the network.
You just need to override default host value, when running flask app:
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)

Check Quick Start guide.

Leaping into the United States
A Sherwood Park athletic clothing company, TerraFrog, has gone from nonexistent to international in a short two years
The Sherwood Park News, August 13, 2010
View this article on The Sherwood Park News' website
A Sherwood Park company is sticking to its guns, with the owners refusing to adjust their business model and give into larger companies.
TerraFrog Clothing Corp., run by sisters Cori and Bobbi Windsor, both of Sherwood Park, is expanding to Kinespirit Studios in New York.
TerraFrog, which designs high quality yoga and athletic wear, doesn't have a conventional manufacturing model though.
According to Cori Windsor, most companies accept orders placed by retailers around six months prior to a season, and then the company will decide on the number of garments produced based on the number of orders.
TerraFrog produces a limited amount of garments and then send out the order forms to retailers, with sales being based on a first come, first serve basis.
Windsor said that they aren't going to change their current business model in order to satisfy a growing demand for their product, no matter how exciting it might be.
"With the chain in New York, it's very exciting and it's great for us," Windsor said. "But we're not going to increase the amount we make, so it's still on a first come, first serve basis. So New York might not get everything they want."
This risk is actually something that Windsor said interested the New York client. He believed Americans would like the fact that they are wearing something different than others due to the limited supply.
But the sisters' decision on how to run the business and starting the business came hand in hand, as they felt the public needed something new and different from Canada.
"We were getting tired, everywhere you looked, everyone was wearing the same thing," Windsor said. "There are brands out there that started out, through brand awareness, marketing that they were made in Canada, and then a lot of people jumped on the brands and then they all the sudden switched and outsourced overseas."
"We felt there was a need to have something that was made in Canada, but made in limited quantities."
Windsor said that they wanted to avoid mass-manufactured wear so that not everybody would wear the same clothing, and to make sure it would stay stationed in Canada.
The sisters also place a high emphasis on conserving the environment, which is another reason for not outsourcing their production.
According to Windsor, using the services of, and obtaining supplies from, Canadian businesses reduces the environmental impact from importing.
The company also purchases wind energy, has stated environmental policies, and donates to environmental programs throughout the country.
Windsor also believes that the company being ran out of Canada provides a necessary support to the local economy.
While their business has boomed since starting only two years ago, when TerraFrog was first thought up, retail sales weren't even in the sisters' sights.
"Our plan was not to do retail sales at all for the first four years," Windsor said. "We were going to stick with an online model and feel our way around the industry and just get confident with our plan and our product."
Things don't always go as planned though, and this time, it was a good thing.
Within two weeks of clothing first coming off the factory line, retailers were approaching the Windsors, causing them to come up with a new business model.
Because she didn't expect to even be in retail stores at this point, Windsor was surprised to be approached by Kinespirit Studios.
"We didn't even think we'd have retailers two years in, let alone be all across Canada and then have New York calling us," Windsor said. "So this is really exciting, but a little bit scary at the same time."
Scary as it may be, it only foreshadows what Windsor hopes to be the future of TerraFrog.
"What we'd like to see is to definitely increase our number of retailers, and expand further into the U.S., and maybe into Europe," she said. "We've had calls from Europe."
Still, even if the company expands on an larger international scale, Windsor said that the number of pieces made wouldn't increase, sticking to the limited production amount. Instead, Windsor hopes that they will come out with new styles and sizes, and apply the same manufacturing model to their new inventory.
TerraFrog, which is distributed across the country, has been profiled on the Rachel Ray Show and Live with Regis and Kelly, and in publications such as Pilates Style and Natural Health.

Tomb Sweeping Festival is quite a catchy little name for a public holiday, don't you think? A whole lot more interesting than Easter Monday, which it happens to co-incide with this year. In Chinese it's called Qingming Jie 清明节. Qingming means 'clear and bright' , but how exactly this translates to 'tomb sweeping' is best left to someone who knows a bit more about the Chinese language than me.
Qingming is a chance for people to pay respects to their ancestors, and celebrate the arrival of spring. Like many Chinese festivals though, the original meaning has become entangled with two thousand years worth of stories and traditions. As a result, the list of things one does/should do/remembers doing as a child; is long and varied.

The blue-and-white tile mural that dominates the entrance to the Carlos Botelho Agricultural School shows a bucolic scene of a proud farmer tilling his land with a horse-drawn plow.
The peaceful picture stands in stark contrast to the reality of rural Brazil. Like the wheat, soy, and cattle-grazing lands that surround this community 100 miles west of Sao Paulo, farmlands across Brazil are the scene of thousands of land disputes. Violence often erupts as hundreds of thousands of rural Brazilians who see no alternative to farming demand their own plot of ground.

Fleetwood Town FC
Fleetwood Town defender Nathan Sheron reveals advice from ex-Blackpool striker uncle Mike
Fleetwood Town defender Nathan Sheron
Rosie Swarbrick
Fleetwood Town defender Nathan Sheron has been taking family advice as he seeks to establish himself at Highbury.
The 20-year-old has come through Town's youth system, and after becoming their academy's maiden first team player, he has become a regular in Joey Barton's match day squad.
He missed the Peterborough United clash in midweek due to suspension after being sent off at Portsmouth but is in contention to face Blackpool on Saturday.
The centre-half has featured at right-back and was also utilised as a defensive central midfielder during pre-season.
Sheron was propelled into the squad because of the introduction of an EFL rule that says a team has to have a homegrown player in their matchday squad.
He has listened to his uncle Mike, a striker whose clubs included Manchester City, Bury, Norwich City, Stoke City, QPR, Barnsley, Blackpool, Macclesfield Town, Shrewsbury Town and Warrington Town during a 15-year career.
Sheron said: "He's on the phone to my dad most days.
"He just says: 'Go in, believe in yourself, do extras and everything you can to make yourself better; just go out there with confidence and play to your best."
When Barton arrived at Fleetwood he spoke about giving youth a chance given his own rise through Manchester City's academy to a full-time professional footballer.
With that in mind, Sheron spoke of his gratitude for the opportunity he has been given by the manager
He said: "He's a man of his word, he stuck by his word, he trusted me and I can't be any more thankful for the opportunity.
"In training they show a lot of trust in you; they want you to improve, they stay out and do extra with you.
"There were a few injuries and I got thrown in, you have just got to prove yourself.
