Circular No. 353; Tunisia - Trade Mark Law No. 36 of 17 April 2001
This new Tunisian trade mark law came into force on 17 April 2001. It replaces the Tunisian Trade Marks & Trade Names Law dated 4 June 1889
The new law introduces several significant changes and the most important are detailed below:
Definition of a Trade Mark
The definition of a trade mark has been broadened to include words, designs, holograms, shapes of the product, colours, and phonic signs such as musical tunes and sentences.
Examination and Opposition Procedures
Previously Tunisia followed a simple deposit system. In terms of the new law, applications will be examined as to form and registrability and will then be advertised in the official bulletin. There is then a two (2) month term within which the application may be opposed by:
The owner of a prior registered trade mark
The owner of a previous well-known trade mark
The holder of an exclusive license (provided the contract does not stipulate otherwise).
Duration and Renewal
The duration of a registration is now ten (10) years from the filing date. Previously the term was fifteen (15) years from the filing date.
Registrations will now be renewed for a period of ten (10) years from the date of expiry of the registration. Previously the term was fifteen (15) years from the date of application for renewal.
Late Renewal Abolished
Registrations may be renewed at any time in the last six (6) months of the term of the registration. There are no provisions for late renewal or restoration of a registration. If a renewal fee is not paid by the due date then the only option is for the applicant to file a fresh application. Previously there were provisions for late renewal with six (6) months of the due date.
No Amendment of a Trade Mark
It is not possible to amend a trade mark or expand a specification of goods or services. This can only be achieved by filing a new application.
Use Requirements
A registration becomes vulnerable to attack if there has been no bona fide use of the mark for a period of five years from the filing date or for any other consecutive period of five (5) years. Subsequent use of the trade mark (before an attack by an interested party) should be sufficient to ensure the continued validity of the registration. The initial term for "old law" registrations is five years from the date of the new law (17 April 2001)
Well Known Marks
Well known or famous mark as provided by Article 6 bis of the Paris Convention are acknowledged by the new law.
Cancellation proceedings may be filed at the competent court on the grounds that the mark is not registrable (i.e. it does not conform to articles 2, 3 or 4 of the law) or because the mark conflicts with a prior right.
Assignments and Other Changes in Ownership
Assignments and other changes in ownership must be recorded if they are to have any legal effect.
We hope these brief comments are of some assistance but if you require any further information regarding the position in Tunisia, or elsewhere, then please contact Spoor & Fisher Jersey.

City Approves Water Advisory Team
By Jacob Fuller Tuesday, December 18, 2012 1:27 p.m. CST
By Trip Burns
Mayor Harvey Johnson received approval from the City Council Monday of his financial advisory team for a $90 million water system improvement project.
The Jackson City Council finally came to an agreement with the mayor to approve contracts with a financial advisory team for the city's water-system improvement project.
The contracts include $400,000 to hire bond counsel and financial advisers for the city's $90 million contract with Siemens Corp. Council members had refused to vote on the contract in its Economic Development Committee at two previous meetings. Monday, both the committee and the full council approved the contracts.
Councilmen Quentin Whitwell of Ward 1 and Frank Bluntson of Ward 4 said at previous meetings that they would not approve the financial advisory team until Mayor Harvey Johnson signed a contract with Siemens.
The Siemens-led project will include upgrades to the city's water-treatment plants, improvements to water pipes, installation of digital water meters, a new water usage tracking system and a new bill-payment system. Siemens has guaranteed the city that the project will pay for itself in long-term savings and increased revenue.
The city will need to sell bonds to finance the project in the short-term. Johnson said the city needs the financial advisory team to assure the bonds will be marketable before he signs off on the contract with Siemens.
Ward 2 Councilman Chokwe Lumumba said he was concerned that the city administration was trying to negotiate some of the subcontractors that Siemens hire. He agreed to approve the financial advisory team only with an amendment that all bonds come before the council for approval.
Bluntson, who was absent from both the Economic Development Committee meeting and the City Council special meeting Monday, had expressed concern about open-ended wording in the contract that allowed for financial advisers to charge the city for out-of-pocket expenses. Whitwell remedied that concern Monday by adding an amendment to cap those expenses at $5,000. Whitwell also included an amendment that will terminate all financial contracts if the city does not sign a contract with Siemens by Jan. 31.
The contract passed by a 3-1 vote with the amendments. Whitwell, Lumumba and Ward 7 Councilwoman Margaret Barrett-Simon voted for the contract. Ward 5 Councilman Charles Tillman was the lone vote against it.
LaRita Cooper-Stokes of Ward 3, Tony Yarber of Ward 6 and Bluntson were absent.
The city will pay $170,000 to Baker Donelson and Anthony Simon for bond counsel, $125,000 to Malachi Financial Products for financial advice and $100,000 to the Begley Law Firm and Betty Mallett for underwriting the bonds.
DOJ Approves Redistricting
The U.S. Department of Justice pre-cleared the city's redistricting plan.
The pre-approval allows the city to plan next year's elections under the new ward lines.
The biggest redistricting change came in Wards 1 and 7. The Lefleur East neighborhood, bordered by Meadowbrook Road and Lakeland Drive to the north and south, and Interstate 55 and Ridgewood Road to the west and east, will move from its previous designation in Ward 1 to Ward 7. Ward 1 includes most of the city east of Interstate 55. Ward 7 includes Fondren, Belhaven and parts of downtown and south Jackson.

Q: Split list into sublist based on part of value I have a list:
L= ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C', 'V2_A', 'V2_B', 'V2000_A']

and I want to split it into sublists so all values that contain V1 become one (sub?)list, all values that contain "V2", "V2000", etc.
The length and number of sublist can differ, but all are identified by the part before the underscore.

A: If you want to group your strings by the initial value, you have two options:

*

*Use itertools.groupby(); this makes grouping easy provided your data is already sorted on that first value:
from itertools import groupby

grouped = [list(g) for k, g in groupby(L, lambda s: s.partition('_')[0])]

The lambda here provides groupby() with the value to group on; it'll give you separate generators (assigned to g in the above code) that will yield values where the group key doesn't vary. As the lambda produces the first part of each string, that means the input is grouped on your v1, V2, V2000, etc. prefixes.

*Use a dictionary to group items by the common prefix. Use this if your input is not sorted:
grouped = {}
for elem in L:
    key = elem.partition('_')[0]
    grouped.setdefault(key, []).append(elem)
grouped = grouped.values()

If you use Python 3, that last line would be grouped = list(grouped.values())
Both produce a nested list for each prefix, grouping all values by that prefix. Both use str.partition() to split off just the part before the first _ underscore.
Demo:
>>> from itertools import groupby
>>> L= ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C', 'V2_A', 'V2_B', 'V2000_A']
>>> [list(g) for k, g in groupby(L, lambda s: s.partition('_')[0])]
[['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C'], ['V2_A', 'V2_B'], ['V2000_A']]
>>> grouped = {}
>>> for elem in L:
...     key = elem.partition('_')[0]
...     grouped.setdefault(key, []).append(elem)
...
>>> grouped.values()
[['V2_A', 'V2_B'], ['V2000_A'], ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C']]

A: L= ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C', 'V2_A', 'V2_B', 'V2000_A']
new_L = []
for i in L:
    new_item = i.split('_')
    new_L.append(new_item)
print new_L

Output: [['v1', 'A'], ['v1', 'B'], ['v1', 'C'], ['V2', 'A'], ['V2', 'B'], ['V2000', 'A']]

Hope this gives you the desired result.

A: dictionary is the best option when you want to split and group
L= ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C', 'V2_A', 'V2_B', 'V2000_A']
new_L = {}
for i in L:
    new_item = i.split('_')
    if new_item[0] in new_L:
        new_L[new_item[0]].append(i)
    else:
        new_L[new_item[0]] = []
        new_L[new_item[0]].append(i)
print new_L

the output is
{'v1': ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C'], 'V2': ['V2_A', 'V2_B'], 'V2000': ['V2000_A']}

anyway i agree with @sesha

A: I seem to be reaching for itertools.groupby() more and more these days.
from itertools import groupby

def keyfunc(item):
    return item.split('_')[0]

L= ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C', 'V2_A', 'V2_B', 'V2000_A']

grouped_list = [list(v) for k,v in groupby(sorted(L), keyfunc)]

>>> grouped_list
[['V2000_A'], ['V2_A', 'V2_B'], ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C']]

Another way is to use a collections.defaultdict. A defaultdict of lists provides a clean way to create lists in dictionaries :
from collections import defaultdict

L= ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C', 'V2_A', 'V2_B', 'V2000_A']
d = defaultdict(list)
for s in L:
    d[s.split('_')[0]].append(s)

grouped_list = d.values()

>>> grouped_list
[['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C'], ['V2_A', 'V2_B'], ['V2000_A']]

A: L= ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C', 'V2_A', 'V2_B', 'V2000_A']
print [s.split('_') for s in L]

Result:
[['v1', 'A'], ['v1', 'B'], ['v1', 'C'], ['V2', 'A'], ['V2', 'B'], ['V2000', 'A']]

Or if it's not what you are lookin for:
d = {}
for s in L:
    key, value = s.split('_')
    l = d.get(key, [])
    l.append(value)
    d[key] = l

Result:
>>> d
{'v1': ['A', 'B', 'C'], 'V2': ['A', 'B'], 'V2000': ['A']}
>>> d.values()
[['A', 'B', 'C'], ['A', 'B'], ['A']]

A: For extracting just one sublist:
L= ['v1_A', 'v1_B', 'v1_C', 'V2_A', 'V2_B', 'V2000_A']
sublist = []
for item in L:
    if item[:2] == 'v1': B.append(item)
print sublist

Pappy Kojo: Ghana's new Hiphip -Hiplife sensation
Jonilar November 9, 2015 Artistes Profile Leave a comment
Jason Gaisie, popularly known as "Pappy Kojo" was born on 13th February 1989 to parents Kofi Badu and Rosemond Gaisie. He was born and raised in Takoradi, in the Western Region. He attended Ridge International School up until 2004 then he left for Italy to be with his mother and siblings. Pappy Kojo showed his interest and love for music at an early age. He took part in locally organised rap shows were he would rap to Obrafour, Tic Tac, Reggie Rockstone, and Lord Kenya etc. His biggest musical influences however are Obrafour, The Shady Aftermath Camp and Michael Jackson.
After leaving Ghana for Italy in 2004, his love for rap music grew even greater. He began covering popular songs and posting them on his YouTube channel. Around the same time, he began recording his own material with some Italian music producers and Ghanaian based music producers. This created a little buzz for the young rapper. Things really kicked off for him in the latter part of 2014 when he collaborated on a smash hit record with Ghanaian superstar Joey B called 'Wave'. Pappy then followed with his first official single, 'Realer No', also featuring Joey B, which has been making waves ever since its release. He went on to perform at an eviction party at South Africa's Big Brother reality TV show. He was nominated thrice at the 2015 Video Ghana Music Awards. Where he won an award for the Hip-Hop Song of the year for the smash song 'Realer No'.
He has also been nominated for the Best Newcomer in Africa for the AFRIMMA Awards. Pappy kojo has released three singles since then. Ay3 Late, 2 Raw ft Edem and Deja Vu ft Jiggy. Things are looking bright for the young rapper as he has his eyes set on conquering the global music industry.

Should I have my veins fixed?
Will I have enough veins left after surgery?
Will I need my veins later in life?
The essential defect is a weakness in the valves or walls of the veins that allows blood to flow in the wrong direction. Veins are supposed to carry the blood from the limb back towards the heart, upwards against gravity. This feat is managed by the presence of valves within the veins themselves, which shut to prevent backwards flow of blood towards the feet. If the valves are defective, faulty or weak then there tends to be backwards flow through the valves in the wrong direction down the vein. This places extra strain on other valves in the vein, which may then also fail.
The common area of initial leakage is in the groin (saphenofemoral junction), where the large surface vein joins the vein inside the leg. The valve behind the knee is the second most common site of failure (saphenofemoral junction) followed by smaller veins in the thigh or calf called perforating veins. Failure of valves at these junctions results in excess strain on the vein below, which tends to blow out and also become leaky. This is the reason veins tend to become progressively worse with time.
Aggravation is also caused by pregnancy or obesity, which throws additional strain on the valves in the veins of the lower limbs. As the veins stretch under the additional pressure they tend to dilate, become longer and thus tortuous appearing like a bunch of worms.
The pressure inside the veins can become so great in the lower part of the limb that leakage of blood occurs into the tissues (Diapedesis) giving rise to brown staining of the skin and dermatitis. Damage to the circulation and the tissue under the skin occurs making the legs inflamed and hardened. Fluid leaking through the veins, because of the high pressure within, causes swelling around the ankles. Eventually damage to the limb tissues is so great as to result in ulcer formation. Very superficial blowouts can occur and these sometimes break and bleed.
All of these complications of varicose veins can be managed initially by the use of compression stockings or bandages, however stockings do not stop the progressive process of varicose vein growth.
An inherited predisposition to valve weakness or vein weakness is the most common cause of varicose veins in the lower limbs.
Pregnancy and/or obesity accelerates the formation of varicose veins.
Malformation in the blood vessels of the limb, usually the result of a birth defect in the blood vessels.
Previous deep vein thrombosis in the leg.
Initial management of the symptoms of varicose veins can be by intermittent elevation of the leg. This reduces pressure in the veins and allows reduction in swelling and discomfort. The normal horizontal position of the body in bed at night provides relief from the symptoms of varicose veins.
Elastic stockings can assist with the symptoms of varicose veins. These provide external support (compression) to the limb. Unfortunately the stockings are sometimes unpleasant to wear because of tightness and warmth. They are only useful for alleviation of symptoms, they do not prevent varicose veins. The use of elastic stockings may, in fact, make the leg feel more uncomfortable and therefore is of no benefit for the patient. The exception is when stockings are used to treat complications like ulcers when acceptance of discomfort is unavoidable.
Injection treatment is possible for minor superficial varicose veins and for discoloured areas. Injections under ultrasound guidance are also useful for larger varicose veins or recurrent varicose veins after previous surgery. Injection treatment with coil occlusion of veins is a new technology. It is under investigation and has good results over 10 years. Injection and coil treatment does not require hospitalization for more than a couple of hours. A few hours off work following treatment is all that is required.
Laser, Coiling, Ultrasound Guided Sclerosis or Surgery are still the major means of controlling large varicose veins. The aim of these treatments is to remove refluxing veins (veins flowing backwards) from the limb leaving normal veins untouched.
Various investigations into the use of laser, electro coagulation, coil occlusion and valve repair have all been undertaken. Treatment decisions are now made after anatomical mapping of veins with Duplex Ultrasound. Non-surgical methods of control of varicose veins now have a major role in venous disease. Laser and electro coagulation combined with injection treatment are effective and enable outpatient treatment but complications are similar to surgery. Patient comfort is now much better after treatment for varicose veins.
The operation for varicose veins is designed to ligate points of venous valve failure and extract the varicose veins from the leg by means of multiple small incisions. The technique is known as "ligation, puncture and extraction". Usually removal of the surface thigh vein or calf vein is required and this is performed by invaginating rather than "stripping" the vein. This technique allows for reduced trauma and a faster recovery. Preoperative ultrasound (duplex scan) is used to identify all the points of valve failure so as few as possible valve leaks are missed at surgery. At present this technique has resulted in a 95% rate of "cure" for high-pressure varicose veins over 5 years. Follow up ultrasound and/or injection therapy is sometimes required as vascular neogenesis occurs in most people in the form of new veins.
When you have venous surgery you can expect an incision, approximately 1 - 3 cm long, over the site of leaking valves. These are generally at each groin and less frequently behind the knee. Some of the incisions for extraction of the varicose veins themselves will be approximately ½ - 1 mm in length and will be closed by single suture or adhesive tape. Most extraction sites are small punctures (less than 1 mm) and will not require any suture or closure at all. Firm compression bandages are applied at completion of surgery. Only minimal blood loss occurs with this surgery so transfusion is not considered a possibility The leg(s) are firmly bandaged from toes to groin which can impede walking to a mild degree for 2 days. Driving a car may be challenging during the first 2 days post op. Re-bandaging of leg(s) takes place on the second day after surgery and usually involves transfer into stockings.
The hospital time for surgery is in the range of 1 - 2 days, depending on comfort.
Hospital time for Coiling or Laser treatment is 1-2 hours with a similar period of bandaging and impeded mobility. Lumpy veins however take longer to absorb and produce lines of brown staining from haemosiderin deposition.
(2) Bleeding from bubble-like varicose veins around the foot and ankle.
Thrombosis is rare and easy to detect because of pain and a firm lump in the thigh. This complication requires urgent surgery.
Bleeding can occur if a small vein gets injured, often toweling dry after a shower. This can open a small vein and lead to substantial blood loss. First aid is leg elevation and immediate compression with the thumb followed by a firm bandage.
Either of these complications can be lethal. You will be advised if either of these complications is likely at the time of your consultation.
No! The only reliable means of preventing varicose veins is to remove gravity from the equation. Crossing the legs whilst sitting does not cause varicose veins.
Not really. Large varicose veins are usually curable with surgery for a 10 year period. Injection treatment alone is not normally able to cure large varicose veins. With ultrasound mapping, surgery is now able to cure large varicose veins in 95% of patients for at least 5 years. Varicose veins tend to recur with pregnancy, obesity, other illnesses and with time. Recurrences are often manageable by sclerotherapy. New treatments yet to be proven in the long term are Coil Occlusion and Laser Ablation of varicose veins . These two new treatments allow for outpatient treatment but long-term results are yet to be finalized. Coil occlusion therapy with Sclerotherapy can manage most vein patients and appears effective at five years duration but long-term studies have yet to be done. Smaller "spider veins" (venules) and surface varices recur throughout life and are only manageable by repeated treatment with injections. One can liken this management to regular "haircuts" but less frequent as the injections are usually good at clearing veins for a couple of years at a time.
The indication for varicose vein surgery is patient request, except for dangerous circumstances like thigh thrombosis or bleeding. The main purpose of treatment is to manage the complications and symptoms mentioned on page one. It is essentially 100% safe to keep your varicose veins unless thigh thrombosis (very rare) or bleeding occurs. Varicose veins are associated with a minor increased risk of thrombosis of the deep veins (Deep Vein Thrombosis) under normal conditions. Air travel, long bus or car trips may predispose to deep vein thrombosis but this is not a reason to have your varicose veins treated surgically. Surface thrombosis in the varicose veins is not uncommon but is usually harmless although painful. It is never too late to request treatment as age is not a contraindication to treatment. Recurring ulceration, pain or bleeding often drives people to seek treatment but most treatment is elective.
The deep veins inside the leg are the main system for blood transport back to the heart. These are not involved in varicose vein surgery. However, these deep veins are put under additional strain by leaky surface varicose veins so removal of the abnormal surface veins actually lessens the load on the deep system. Therefore varicose vein surgery reduces the strain on other leg veins.
You may! The use of leg vein for bypass surgery remains the best way of saving legs from gangrene secondary to blocked arteries. People who can expect to have this problem are smokers and diabetics. The use of leg vein for heart bypass is no longer common as other vessels are now used for this type of surgery.
For diabetic patients valve repair may be a preferable therapy for varices. Cessation of smoking is always advised, not only to make surgery safer but also to reduce the likelihood of death or limb artery disease.
Your initial consultation with your Vascular Surgeon is the time to ask about the best option for treatment. For very large, complicated varicose veins surgery is still the quickest and most comfortable method of treatment. For modest, less complex problems, Sclerotherapy , Coil Occlusion or Laser ablation are more attractive options as they do not involve significant hospital time. All therapies are of equal safety (99.8%) but side effects vary. After surgery bruising lumps and bumps with discomfort have resolved by 6 weeks. After Sclerotherapy, Laser and Coil treatment lumps, bumps and tenderness may take 3-6 months to resolve and disclouration may last more than 12 months.

Hello my name is Annie! I was brought to the shelter with my sister Allie. Our owner recently passed away. We're still getting used to being here at the shelter. I am very sweet and outgoing and love to talk and get all the attention in our cage! We also came in with two other cats that are currently here at the shelter, they are Mama Kitty and Sammie. Come visit us today!
Hello! My name is Sammie! I am new to the shelter! My human momma died and I am very scared here, but I just know with time and love, I'll be the best kitty! I must go home with my mom Mamma Kitty! Please keep checking my profile for updates as the staff gets to know me better!
Hello! My name is Jonas. I have come a long way here in my time at the shelter. The staff have worked really hard to bring me out of my shell, and they're so proud of the progress I have made. Before, I would shy away and hide my face from you, but now, I'm ready to find a family to love all on my own. I like to be brushed and I have a few best friends at the shelter who I spend most of my days with. They are the best, but they know that the family I am meant to be with is out there somewhere. I would probably do best with older kids or teens, and a quieter home. I'm a sweet lovebug ready to get on living the rest of my life with my family. Please come meet me today!
Hello! My name is Carmen! I came into the shelter as a stray. People had been trying to catch me for months! When they finally caught me, I learned how to trust again. I was very scared when I first arrived, but the shelter staff has helped me come out of my shell a lot! Everyday I am getting more and more comfortable with the people here, but I am ready to finally have a family that will show me all the love in the world! I can be a little shy at first, but please don't let that discourage you. Once I learn to trust you, I'm as loving and playful as they come. Since I can be so shy when meeting new people, I would do best in an adults only home. I recently met some dog friends here at the shelter and we have gotten along great! I could potentially go home with other dogs but I'll need to meet them first. No cats, please! Please come and visit me today; I've been wanting a home of my own for so long now.
Hello! My name is Izzie! I have been at the shelter since February, can you believe it? I came in very, very scared and the staff has worked so hard to get me used to people. I made a friend in one of our staff members, so she has worked for months with me and even took me home to foster! Now I am ready to find my real furever home. I would do best in a quiet home with no kids and not a lot of activity. My adopter will need to be patient with me and allow me to grow and adjust to their home. Once I settle in, I love to play and I love having my back petted. If you hit the right spot, I will dissolve into a rolling, purring ball of kitty. I would do best as the only animal in the home so that I can let everything go at my own pace! I'm so beautiful, and at 10, I've been waiting too long for my very own forever... Come visit me today!
Hi! My name is Ox. What a peculiar name don't you think? If you know a thing or two about Oxen, you'll know that typically they have what is called an "ox-driver" who gives them commands and keeps them in check…well I, myself am looking for my very own ox-driver! I can be a handful, so I do need someone who is willing to put in some obedience training with me and teach me some manners. I need an ox-driver with a strong voice and a loving heart, someone who will teach me my commands, earn my loyalty, but also maybe let me on the couch sometimes? All ox-driver jokes aside, I really am looking for a family who will love me for the rest of my days. I can be a big goon and if you aren't careful, I'll knock you right over! My rough-housing is all out of love of course! I can be mouthy and very high energy, so I do need multiple meets to make sure you're comfortable with my quirks and energy level. I can play with other dogs, but when I'm…you guessed it - stubborn as an ox - I can bug the other dogs and they sometimes don't want to play with me anymore. I would do best in a home that did not have cats or small children, I'm just too much dog for either of them!
Ox is application only! If you would like more information please stop by or give us a call!
Hello! My name is Vianca! My name is unique because I am a one of a kind lady. I am a pitbull mix and as you know, pitbulls are one of the snuggliest, loveliest, and cuddliest breeds around. The staff here at the shelter adore me; they love to take me for walks, throw tennis balls for me, and feed me snacks. I love soaking up all the attention; I was born to be spoiled! Shelter life is unfortunately not the life that I should be living; being here makes me anxious and very stressed out. The staff try their best to help me through it, most of them have even learned a Relaxation Protocol to help me wind down. I am a very smart girl and enjoy learning new types of training and tricks. When I'm not hard at work and impressing the staff, I love to spend my day gobbling up snacks, sitting in people's laps, and listening to soft jazz music. I do not like cats and would really prefer to be the only dog in the home, after all I am quite used to being the center of attention. I've never been around kids, so I would need to meet them and find out. If my gorgeous good looks and dazzling personality have nearly won you over, please come meet me today so I can finish stealing your heart!
If my new home does not have a fenced yard (although this would be ideal), our walking route should be a quiet, low traffic area. While at the shelter, I am learning to walk by other dogs without a problem, but it would be an easier transition for me (and you) if I did not need to be in a high dog-traffic area right away. With time, the staff believes I will be ok.
My name is Lexi! I am the sweetest little lady looking for the most perfect home! I have a lot of love to give, but I've had a really diffficult time finding a family that will love me unconditionally. I sometimes have problems finding a dog that I like! To be honest, I really just want to take naps and get some affection, a dog who wants to play all the time just annoys me! Because a lot of dogs are too hyper for me, I can not go home with any other animals. I also can not go to a home with small children. Like I said before, I really just want to find a peaceful home! I am looking for a respectful family who can understand when I want just cuddle but will also be ready to play with me! I really enjoy playing with my toys and goofing around, I have a lot of energy! I could play all day as long as I have a friend to give me some attention. I'll be by your side forever if you let me! Considering how much I love belly rubs and pets, you can understand why I am upset to be here. Don't let my barking in the kennel or my serious face fool you! I am the sweetest gal. Please come and visit me today!
I have learned that I absolutely love Zeus! I can be picky about my playmates, but when I find somebody I really like- I could play for days! If a dog meets me slowly, I tend to be more comfortable around them! Don't count me out- you might just be the perfect match for me!
HI my name is Dot!, I am a little shy so I will need time to adjust in a new home, it would be nice to have a kitty friend to live with though. I would do best with older children in a home. I am so hoping today will be the day I find a loving home where I can be cared for always and loved. Won't you adopt me today!!
One of the biggest and most exciting times in anyone's life is adopting a new kitten! Cats can live well over 12 years, and will need a lifetime of love, care, commitment, and patience. Before plunging into kitten parenthood, make sure to research! There are many rewards to caring for a kitten, but there are also many requirements.

About the practitioner: I am a strong supporter of complementary therapies and see good health 'as not just a matter of not being ill but rather a state of radiant inner being'. This is the level at which natural therapies work and also the philosophy I embrace. The therapies I am fully qualified and insured to practise are all ancient healing modalities, dating back centuries.
My first encounter with natural healing was in 1990 when I was introduced to Usui Reiki. I later progressed to learning Sekhem, which I connected strongly with as a higher vibration energy, and trained to Master/Teacher level. I only started practising professionally after I moved to London in 2002. I have a great thirst for knowledge and so enjoy reading and learning about and updating myself on various therapies. I am also a qualified Massage In Schools Instructor - a programme that supports children between the ages of 4-12 in schools, playgroups, community centres, etc., through creative, nurturing child-to-child massage.
In addition to offering therapies at various wellness centres, I have also provided treatments in offices and participated in pampering events arranged by voluntary organisations and ethnic minority communities.
Sekhem Energy Healing is a non-invasive ancient Egyptian energy healing modality that is channelled through the hands, in a similar manner to Reiki, to help realign, release and shift the blocked / stagnant layers of energy around the body. It can support and help ease emotional and spiritual distress and mental anxieties - that are the root cause of most physical discomforts - and bring to the surface issues, one is often unaware of at a deeper level, that need to be dealt with. The energy works at a cellular level and so supports any changes a client seeks to make. In the 15+ years I have been practising Sekhem, I have seen it benefit clients in numerous ways, such as finding courage and strength to stand up to and face fears, ability to cope better with grief, gain more confidence, create self-awareness, experience positive shifts in their attitude and way of thinking and feeling. Generally after a session clients also feel lighter, calmer, clearer and more energised. Sekhem can work alongside any other traditional Western or Eastern treatment and is also a totally safe therapy for easing discomforts pre- and post-surgery and following chemotherapy and radiation - it is not, however, a substitute for any medical treatment necessary in such instances.
Reflexology is a relaxing holistic therapy that helps to restore and activate the body's natural healing potential and create homeostasis. The treatment involves applying pressure to specific reflex points (on the foot or hand) that correspond to the various organs, limbs, glands, muscles and systems of the body. This helps to de-stress the organs, calm the body, mind and emotions, trigger the release of toxins and assist the body to function more effectively. The treatment also helps boost blood circulation and the immune system, ease leg pain, backaches and anxieties, support PMS, delayed labour and better sleep, as well as assist in relieving the impact of past injuries and illnesses. Hot Stone Reflexology includes the use of hot stones, in between finger pressure, on specific reflex points on the feet to release tension at a deeper level. The heat of the stones, on the feet and lower legs, penetrate deeper into the layers of the muscles and assist in opening and activating the energy channels of the reflex points. Other benefits include: deeper relaxation and cleansing of the organs, better elimination of waste from the body, increased action of leukocytes which help fight infections, and the release of tension in connective tissues, lower legs and back. The effect of hot stone reflexology is also believed to last longer than a standard reflexology treatment.
Indian Head Massage is an invigorating upper body massage that is carried out over clothes, in a seated position, and does not involve the use of oils. It focuses on areas in the upper body where stress builds up, i.e. the scalp, neck, shoulders, upper back, upper arms and face. This massage also helps revive tired muscles, relieve tension and stiffness in the neck and shoulders, ease insomnia, headaches, eyestrain, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, boost oxygen flow to the brain, dissipate mental fatigue and improve concentration / focus. As this is a 30 minute treatment, the cost is £25. Particular area of interest: To promote wellness at all levels (emotional, mental and spiritual). We all have the ability to heal ourselves and how we feel and think has a direct influence on our overall state. My approach is to create more awareness on the effect of thoughts and emotions on our physical wellbeing. My aim is to help empower clients to take control of their health and move through life with more understanding, balance and harmony. I believe an integral part of my work is to create a safe, caring atmosphere, practice with respect and without judgement, to the highest good of the client.

Your thoughts and emotions have infinite power to brighten, discolor and uproot your world. They can both hinder and fuel the process of your addiction and recovery.
Experiential therapy diffuses harsh, negative emotions and equips you to take charge of your life and recovery outlook. This kind of therapy reaches beyond simple "talk" therapy; it encourages individuals to take an active role in their mental health. The term experiential encompasses a colorful range of therapies, such as recreation, expressive arts, music, wilderness, psychodrama and adventure.Here's an insight into Experiential Therapy.
Experiential therapy combines Gestalt therapy with family, group and play therapies. It is all about action and exploration. The first step is to build a trusting, expressive relationship with your therapist. Your emotions and feedback will guide the sessions. They will encourage you to seek and explore your triggers, pains and anxieties. That is why this therapy takes on many forms; the therapist and client will need to gently experiment until the root feelings reveal themselves. For example, painting the traumatic scene may not yield positive results, but play acting through the event with others may offer an uplifting epiphany. It all depends on your personality and needs.
The next step is to reinvent how those emotions and traumatic events affect you. This is all about developing healthy ways to confront and experience these feelings. You work through them beyond simple discussion. Your therapist is more than just a guide; you forge a healing alliance with them. Together, you will discover the actions and experiments that work best for you.
Developed by psychoanalysts in the 1940s and '50s, Gestalt therapy is built on two key principles. The first is that is is crucial to focus on the here and now. All healing lies in the present, and this time should be embraced with gratitude, creativity and personal responsibility. Secondly, it deeply values the interconnectedness of all people; a healthy client-therapist bond that grows over the course of counseling is essential.
You have power in the present. You cannot will the past to change and you cannot imagine the future. Gestalt therapy encourages you to focus on the emotions you experience as your current life unfolds with no past or future strings attached, and this equips you to truly understand reality rather than merely creating interpretations about it. This knowledge reveals exactly what behaviors must be changed. The therapist is right there alongside you to help you implement the changes.
Of course, any life changes require personal responsibility. Gestalt therapy reinforces that you must take control of your life and own the present moment. You affect everything and everybody around you; when this truth is embraced, it will be easier to decide a course of action and stay dedicated to it.
When starting Gestalt or experiential therapy, I urge recovering addicts to open up and build a bond with your therapist. Skepticism, anger, shame or anxiety may make this difficult, but I assure you that with time and patience, a wonderful and healing relationship will grow.
How can it help with recovery?
Addiction always has an underlying structure of pain and anxiety that fuels it. With experiential therapy, you'll confront these negative emotions, disarming them as relapse triggers. You'll learn to live in the now, releasing resentment and embracing change. Newfound confidence will empower you to make healthy progress in your life.
There are more steps to breaking free from an addiction beyond therapy, but I firmly believe that it is an essential facet of any recovery journey. I urge you try experiential therapy along with other types of addiction therapies. The most important thing is that you discover what works best for you.

An Ulverstone man has pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer and dangerous driving during an incident in Devonport. Mark David Howard was driving a Toyota HiLux on December 15, 2018 when he led the police on a car chase. Crown prosecutor Anna Norton told acting Justice David Porter the then 33-year-old bought a ute for $520 on December 14 despite having been disqualified from holding a driver's licence. At 4.30pm on December 15, Howard was driving the HiLux on Forbes Street, Devonport with two female passengers sitting on one seat and his then-three-year-old son sitting in the other seat. The three-year-old was not in a child restraint, but using a normal seat belt. The ute lost traction and swerved into the path of oncoming traffic. A marked police car started following the ute but the accused refused to stop. Howard turned the ute down Middle Road and went on to Stoney Rise Road where he entered the Tugrah Road roundabout the wrong way. Police used road spikes on Stoney Rise Road to successfully puncture the tyres. Howard drove at police officers, striking Constable Andrew Maingay. Police continued to follow the four-wheel-drive on Forth Road, when Howard mounted a traffic island and collided with a parked bus. Travelling on the rim of its wheels, the ute came to a stop near Braddons Lookout Road. Howard ran from the ute and was chased on foot through a paddock over two barbed wire fences. He was handcuffed taken to hospital where he tested positive to methylamphetamine and amphetamine. Appearing at the Burnie Supreme Court on Friday, Howard was remanded in custody and will be sentenced in June.

ZHUHAI, CHINA - NOVEMBER 01: The J-20 fighter aircraft, produced by Chengdu Aerospace Corporation, flies during the 11th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition at Zhuhai Airshow Center on November 1, 2016 in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province of China. More than 700 exhibitors and 135 aircraft from 42 countries and regions will make demonstrations at the 11th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (Airshow China 2016) from Nov 1 to 6 in Zhuhai.
This is the first of a three part series on China's Air Defence System. The other two parts which can be accessed here and here, will focus on Technology Trends and Air Defence Capability in Tibet.
The First Gulf War (GW-I) was a wake-up call for a number of emerging countries, including China. GW-I showcased the technological superiority of US-led coalition forces over an Iraq that had relied for years on Soviet/Russian weaponry and doctrines. The way in which US air power sliced though Iraqi air defences (AD), was of particular concern to a China that at the time actually had a more antiquated inventory of aircraft and AD systems than Iraq.
The reforms and modernization of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) subsequently undertaken by Beijing in the 1990's understandably took into consideration the lessons learnt from GW-I and in this, the upgradation of the PLA Air Force (PLAAF) and AD systems, was of special import. The transformation of PLA's AD capabilities was designed to change it from an antiquated 'numbers intensive' low-technology force to a smaller high-technology force. To achieve this aim, China has been investing in a combination of foreign purchased and domestically produced long-range surface to air missiles (SAMs), modern interceptor aircraft, and an efficient radar network including airborne platforms over the last two decades or so.
During the 1950s, China inducted a range of Soviet AD equipment of what was then state-of-the-art technology. Included in this were a handful of SA-2 SAMs. Khrushchev-era tensions however put an end to Soviet technological support and China was forced to reverse engineer Soviet weapons to continue equipping its expanding Army. The HQ-1 and HQ-2, systems, both based on SA-2, entered service in the 1960s with newer variants of the HQ-2 still in service with the PLA in significant numbers.
In the 1970s and 80s, China attempted to develop indigenous SAMs which were not so successful even after incorporating Western technologies and it was not until after the implosion of the Soviet Union that China could buy more contemporary AD technology from a Russia that was looking for a major market for its military wares. As such, new Russian weapons also helped China's flagging indigenous programs. Presently, China deploys a relatively wide range of advanced Russian and indigenous systems, backed up by significant quantities of legacy HQ-2 systems.
The Chinese Integrated Air Defence System (IADS) consists of three core components—early warning, SAM systems, and airborne interceptors.
Early Warning. Graduating from Russian radars of 1960's vintage, China today has an advanced radar network with improved early warning coverage through ground-based sensors and airborne early-warning (AEW) aircraft. It has also designed and deployed radar systems that are reportedly optimized to detect stealthy aircraft, including passive surveillance systems. The radars are integrated in an 'air intelligence radar network' covering the entire country. After being snubbed in its effort to acquire the highly capable Phalcon AEW system from Israel, it has developed three viable AEW platforms. These are the KJ-2000, the KJ-200 and the Y-8 AEW.
SAM Systems. The first long-range SAM was the relatively immobile HQ-2 (SA-2) system. It had a modest range of 35 km, was prone to electronic counter measures (ECM) and could be easily neutralized by modern suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD) operations.
China initiated its current wave of modernization efforts by importing modern SAM systems from Russia, and by the 2010's had an impressive array of modern long range SAM systems including the S-300 PMU (SA-10C) and the S-300 PMU-1 and -2 (SA-20A and B) . While developing the indigenous HQ-9 system, China successfully reversed-engineered Russian and Western technologies and incorporated elements from both the S-300 and Patriot family of SAM systems. China concurrently developed the 50-km-range HQ-12 SAM, followed by the HQ-16 SAM. The latest SAM inducted by China is the Russian S-400 which is the most advanced SAM in the world and a real game changer. All new generation Chinese SAM systems have high mobility and incorporate advanced electronic counter counter measures (ECCM) even as they are capable of engaging a wide range of air threats, including those with stealth features.
Air Interceptors. In 1996, PLAAF had a large inventory mostly comprised by second-generation J-5 (MiG-17) and J-6 (MiG-19) fighters. Today, all J-5s and J-6s have been retired . Although PLAAF's AD interceptor pool still includes third-generation aircraft such as the J-7 and J-8II, incorporating modern weapons and avionics , almost 60 percent of its inventory is now made up of fourth-generation types such as the Su-27, Su-30 MKK, the indigenous J-10 and the J-11 family based on the Su-27, including the J-11B 'pirate' variant which entered service around 2008. China has made progress in developing fifth-generation fighter prototypes and has carried out extensive flight tests of the J-20 (first tested in January 2011), while demonstrating the smaller J-31 in November 2014. The J-20 is expected to see limited deployment by 2020.
and larger campaigns requiring AD of many battle areas.
Learning from GW-I and the Kosovo conflict, PLAAF appreciated the threat posed by stealth, precision, and long-range strike and accordingly updated its AD doctrine, laying more emphasis on mobility and ambush. The new systems acquired were accordingly in line with this new doctrine.

The National Assembly Panels For 2020 Budget, Raise It By N710b
National Assembly may raise the N10.33 trillion 2020 budget presented to the lawmakers by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Indeed, the Senate Committee on Appropriation may have raised the capital component of the budget by N450 billion, The Guardian learnt yesterday. It was learnt that the panel had, in the first instance, increased the budget by N500 billion but later decided to reduce it by N50 billion shortly before submitting its report at yesterday's plenary session by the chairman, Barau Jibrin.
Thereafter, the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, promised the lawmakers that copies of the bill would be made available to them in preparation for its final passage. He said that the circulation would be done immediately the committee concluded the printing of the report.
The increase was meant to take care of exigencies that were not captured in the capital allocation of the various ministries, departments and agencies of government. It was further learnt that the relevant executive bodies lobbied the senators to make the necessary additions to the capital expenditure.
The Senate is expected to commence debate on the committee's report on the 2020 budget today.
Also yesterday, the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, Muktar Betara, presented the report on the 2020 Appropriation Bill during plenary presided over by Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila.
The report reflected the total sum of N10.6 trillion, indicating the addition of about N260 billion to the estimates of ?10.33 trillion earlier presented by President Buhari. It stated that out of the over ?10.6 trillion, ?560.47 billion is for statutory transfers, which also indicates an increase from the estimates of N556.7 billion initially presented.
The debt service reflected an increase from N2.45 trillion estimates to approximately ?2.725 trillion. The recurrent (non-debt) expenditure was put around ?4.843 trillion which showed a reduction from ?4.88 trillion initially presented.
Approximately ?2.465 trillion is for contribution to the development fund for capital expenditure for the year ending on December 31, 2020.
President Buhari had on October 8 presented the budget proposal of N10.33 trillion to a joint session of National Assembly and the lawmakers commenced work on it the next day.
The bill passed second reading on October 15. Since then the various ministries, departments and agencies had appeared before different committees of the National Assembly to defend their budget proposals.
The senate president has repeatedly said that the National Assembly will pass the budget before the Christmas holiday to return the budget cycle to January to December.
The N10.33trillion fiscal document presented by President Buhari was predicated on some parameters which include oil benchmark at $57, the exchange rate of N305 to the dollar, oil production of 2.18 mbpd, capital expenditure of N2.14trillion, recurrent expenditure of N4.88trillion and debt service of N2.45trillion.
Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Justice and Solicitor-General of the Federation, Mr. Dayo Apata (SAN), has said the ministry has zero allocation for a constituency or zonal intervention projects in the 2019 budget.
Apata said this in a statement issued by Dr. Umar Gwandu, the Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Office of the Minister, yesterday in Abuja .
In a letter dated December 3, 2019, and addressed to the chairman, Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC), Apata described media reports on the matter as erroneous, mischievous and misleading.
He said that the attention of the attorney-general and minister of justice was drawn to the publication in a national daily on December 2 where the ministry was alleged to have inserted N2.7 billion in its 2019 appropriation for community projects.
"The report prompted the reaction and rebuttal of the said misleading publication and to as well avail the authentic data at our disposal which is in harmony with the 2019 Appropriation by the National Assembly for the ministry".
The permanent secretary said for the avoidance of doubt, it was of paramount importance to state that the Federal Ministry of Justice had no constituency project in its budgets as a ministry.
He added that after a thorough investigation, the ministry realised that two agencies under its supervision; the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had provisions for constituency projects due to their statutory functions.
"While NAPTIP was allocated N110 million, NDLEA has N766.46 million which amount to N876.46 million as against the N2.7 billion published by the media".

This article estimates the premium in ETFs' trading prices and assesses the impact of the premium on returns. Results indicate that ETFs trade, on average, at a slight daily premium to their net asset value amounting to 0.015%. However, this premium is not persistent, which means that the premium on one day basically disappears the next day. Seasonal analysis on premium indicates that the average premium of iShares during December is higher relative to other months. Finally, it is revealed that the return is positively affected by the contemporaneous premium and negatively by the lagged premium, reflecting violence to the efficient-markets hypothesis.

Texas Law News
Freescale Semiconductor Executive is Featured Speaker at Judicial Luncheon for the University of St. Gallen's Executive Master of Business Law Program
Texas Law News Menu
As it has done every year since 2001, the University of Texas School of Law will host the Information Technology Law and Energy Law module for the University of St. Gallen's Executive Master of European and International Business Law M.B.L.-HSG program in Austin from October 31 to November 6, 2010.
A highlight of this year's program is the keynote address by Alex Pepe, senior vice president of global front-end operations and procurement for Freescale Semiconductor, at the program's judicial luncheon on Thursday, November 4, 2010, in the Law School's Sheffield Room. Freescale Semiconductor, a privately-held company based in Austin, is considered a global leader in the design and manufacture of embedded semiconductors for the automotive, consumer, industrial and networking markets.
The luncheon is hosted by the Law School, the M.B.L.-HSG Program, and Luniece Obst Schless and her husband, Austin attorney and M.B.L.-HSG faculty member Mike Schless.
This year, thirty students are enrolled in the program and will travel to nine locations around the world (including Austin) to study business and law over an eighteen month period. The students are legal practitioners, managers, and engineers from numerous countries and will study modules taught at St. Gallen University (Foundations of European and International Business Law); New York University (International Taxation); Fudan University at Shanghai (Law And Business In China); Waseda University at Tokyo (Intellectual Property and International Trade Law); in Brussels (Competition Law); in Frankfurt (Mergers and Acquisitions); in Vaduz, Liechtenstein (Finance); and in Luxembourg (Procedure).
UT Law Professor John Dzienkowski is the Austin director of this one-week program and will teach several classes in energy law at the Law School.
"We are honored to be a destination of this flying classroom and to educate European students about international IT law and energy law," Dzienkowski said.
A complete list of the program's agenda including speakers can be viewed on the 2010 M.B.L.-HSG Program Calendar.
The University of Texas at Austin and St. Gallen began this program with the efforts of then-Law School Dean Bill Powers (currently president of UT-Austin) and M.B.L.-HSG Executive Director Carl Baudenbacher. Law School Dean Larry Sager has continued the cooperation. Recently, Sager delivered the keynote speech at the third St. Gallen International Dispute Resolution Conference in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
Baudenbacher, currently the president of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) Court in Luxembourg, has been a regular visiting professor at UT Law for many years. He and Felipe Perez-Pose, deputy director a.i. of the St. Gallen program, are both participating in the one-week program in Austin.

Plow and Hearth has become one of my absolute favorite home stores! They offer incredible accents and furnishings for the home; including some amazing exclusive items that you can only find with them. After browsing through their site (and making the longest EVER mental wish list) I stumbled across the America Wreath (pictured above). I knew that it would be perfect for our front door (which is under our covered porch and has a screen door~as suggested in the care instructions). We live in a very old historic house (our home was actually the original home built on our block in the mid 1900's) and with the colonial blue shutter's, the wreath matches the outside decor perfectly.
Comprised of the most beautiful dried flower's, the Amerciana Wreath has added the perfect welcoming touch to the entry of our home. Plow and Hearth has an extensive offering of beautiful wreaths for every season, both indoors and out (some of Plow & Hearth's Wreath selection pictured below).

Visiting Cooperstown and the National Baseball Hall of Fame
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
If you are a fan of the game of baseball, then undoubtedly you have either been or have thought about a visit to this shrine to the great game of baseball. Located in the somewhat remote, but beautiful, upstate New York town of Cooperstown, the Baseball Hall of Fame is a must-do for any fan of the game. The beautiful and stately brick building that holds the history of the game within its walls sits appropriately on Main Street. Once you enter this monument to America's national pastime, you are transformed back in time to relive the most important and historical moments that the game has to offer.
The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is spread out over three spacious floors with more than 38,000 artifacts collected since it opened in 1939. The museum offers something for everyone, and we'll talk a little about some of the exhibits. The museum recommends that visitors start on the second floor and work up to the third floor before concluding their visit on the first floor that holds the Hall of Fame Gallery. This tribute to the greats of the game contains the 333 bronze plagues of all of the inductees.
Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
The Second Floor
The second floor of the museum contains some great exhibits. It all starts with a 13-minute multimedia presentation in the Grandstand theatre that preps visitors for the history they are about to experience. From here, visitors can leisurely stroll through Taking the Field, an exhibit that features the early days of the game in the 19th century. A timeline of the 20th century follows that explores the history of baseball by generation while detailing the players, teams, and historic moments. This area of the museum pays special tribute to some of the most important stories of baseball, including the Babe Ruth Room, the Women in Baseball exhibit, and the African-American Baseball experience. My favorite exhibit of the second floor is the Today's Game exhibit that features a locker with artifacts from all 30 major league teams in addition to some items from the most recent season. Items include uniforms, hats, gloves, photos, and much more. And with every team having a locker, no one leaves this room disappointed.
Red Sox locker
The Third Floor
The third floor of the museum starts visitors off with a look at the ball fields of the past and present. This leads visitors to the Hank Aaron-Chasing the Dream exhibit that pays tribute to Aaron, while detailing his life from childhood through his baseball career right up to his present-day activities. Next up, appropriately, is the Records Room that shows visitors the all-time leaders in virtually every statistical category. If you're a numbers person, then this is the room for you. While here, make note of the very small and unassuming display to Barry Bonds and his home run record. I particularly enjoyed the record-setting home run ball with the asterisk on it; make sure you look for it.
Also on the third floor is the Autumn Glory Room that highlights the great teams and moments of the postseason. Next up is the Baseball Card room that displays just a sampling of the museums 135,000 baseball cards. And just when you thought you were done, visitors are presented with a display showcasing every World Series ring. For you long-suffering Red Sox fans, this should be quite a treat.
A piece of history
The First Floor
The first floor of the museum contains a number of exhibits including an interesting art exhibit, a baseball at the movies room, and Inductee Row which celebrates the newest class of Hall of Famers. But the highlight of the day belongs to the Hall of Fame Gallery, where each inductee has his bronze plague displayed. Enjoy the experience of searching out the plagues of your favorite players. The walls of the Hall of Fame Gallery are a who's who of baseball and a fitting tribute to the athletes who have helped create our love affair with the game.
If you haven't been to Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum hopefully you are now inspired to make the journey. I am fortunate to live in New England and have made the 3 1/2 hour drive on two occasions. It's not easy to get to Cooperstown, but for those of you who have a visit to this Mecca of Baseball on your bucket list I can assure you that you will not be disappointed

Tips for Visiting
Visit in the offseason. This may not be possible for everyone, especially if visiting with kids. If you must go in the summer, shoot for a weekday. Our last visit was on a Saturday in early December, and we had the whole place to ourselves.
Follow the advice of the museum and save the Hall of Fame Gallery for the end of your visit. It's a fitting way to conclude your visit to the Hall of Fame.
If you are a member of AAA, flash that card and save 10% on the entry fee. If you're spending the day, take a break and have lunch at one of the area's cafes, everything is within walking distance in Cooperstown. Be sure to get your hand stamped if you leave so that you can return.
Bring that camera and make sure you have plenty of memory. My first visit to Cooperstown was in the pre-digital camera era, and upon returning home, I discovered that I had no film in the camera. Uggh. It's the only time I have ever done that! I didn't make that mistake this time, of course, it's much easier nowadays with digital cameras

Question: What is the dress code for visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Answer: There is no dress code that I am aware of. On our two visits, I wore shorts and a collared shirt and was fine. I recall seeing visitors in shorts and t-shirts, so I think any casual clothing will suffice.
Question: Will my dog be permitted inside the Baseball Hall of Fame?
Answer: Service dogs are allowed in the Baseball Hall of Fame. If your dog is not a service dog I do not think they will be allowed into the museum.

I went to Cooperstown a few years ago and it was an awesome experience! A whole day isn't enough to truly see everything, I can't wait to go back!

This is great, I've always wanted to go.
Bill De Giulio (author) from Massachusetts on March 03, 2012:
Wow, that's great. Never went up there for an induction. Maybe we'll give it a try?
MarkRFox on March 03, 2012:
I was there in 09' for the induction of Rickey Henderson and Jimmy Rice. Interesting place. All the players walking down the streets. I met Billy Buckner, who gave me his autograph for free, which as a Red Sox fan was priceless. We also got bats signed by Yogi Berra, Reggie Jackson, and my favorite all time hitter, Pete Rose, but we had to pay for those at signings. Good stuff though.

Baseball's Hall of Fame Scores in Effort to Explain—Not Erase—History
The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, won't erase the ugly parts of baseball's past to fit the view of revisionist history. Instead, the Hall of Fame is working to put history into context, while still remembering legends of the game who were not exactly perfectly politically correct.

Flying today I heard a very interesting radio conversation. Today in Reno it was about 100 degrees out. The altitude at KRNO is 4,400 ft. and density altitude becomes an issue in the summer heat. The winds were calm and there was not a single cloud in the sky. I had just returned from an IFR training flight after shooting several approaches. We were getting poor climb performance and had to keep the mixture on the richer side to keep the engine cool. The airport was very busy this weekend because of an event going on in Reno. The FBO was filled to the brim with jets and general aviation aircraft. The runways in use were 16L and 16R. When departing southbound there are higher mountains to clear then when departing northbound (pertains to story). Despite the heat there were many planes out enjoying the calm weather.
Unfortunately I couldn't spot the United, so I am not sure if it was a 737 or an A319. I could tell the controller was annoyed because they either had to re-route all the traffic to use the opposite runways or clear a large path for the departing United. The pilot was also annoyed because his operations wouldn't let him use the departing runway in use. This was going to cause a huge delay (I didn't stick around to see how long their delay was, but I would assume a long time). The point is that they were too heavy to depart over the mountains to the south. The density altitude had caused the airliner to need the opposite runway. This was an interesting conversation to be able to hear, and I feel bad for the pilots stuck in that situation.

Q: How to detect difference in objects? Here are a object:
const obj = {
  "man": [1,2,3,4,2,4],
  "woman": [1,2],
  "N"... N
}

I need to show message to user if there is diffence in object values.
In case above I should return:
Message: man (3,4)

Without message:
  const obj = {
      "man": [1,2],
      "woman": [1,2]
    }

Problem is I can get difference between arrays using set() but I can not return key for unique element
