Kristof Bilsen's Elephant's Dream has won DocPoint's and Yle's audience vote for the film to be screened on Yle Teema channel later this year.
Elephant's Dream is a story the public sector in Kongo's capital Kinshasa – the third biggest city in Africa – that is falling apart at the seams. In politicians' rhetorics about Kongo's modernization are left behind, as Bilsen points his lingering camera at the absurd everyday lives of the workers in the city's main post office, fire department and the secluded railway station. The warm-hearted documentary takes a look at the lives and dreams of the government workers. Read more about the film here.
The competition included a total of eight documentary films, which were screened at DocPoint festival this year. The audience voted online for the film they would like to see on Yle's tv-channel. Elephant's Dream gathered 281 votes which was 37% of all of the votes. The second came Jos de Putter's See No Evil with 240 votes, and the third was Sabine Lubbe Bakker's ja Niels van Koevorden's Ne me quitte pas with 53 votes.

By means of a result on the semi-global C1 solution, we establish the exact boundary controllability for the reducible quasilinear hyperbolic system if the C1 norm of initial data and final state is small enough.
Key words: reducible quasilinear hyperbolic system / semi-global C1 solution / exact boundary controllability.


Even though the solutions currently available aren't meeting expectations, marketers and brands are still spending.
Recent studies and reports are showing that while brands and companies aren't yet entirely impressed with the tools that mobile marketing vendors have to offer, they are still raising the size of their budgets for this channel.
The B2B budgets geared toward mobile advertising and promotions will rise 11 percent in the next 6 months.
Moreover, when it comes to the mobile marketing budgets for the next full year, it is expected that there will be an increase of 17.5 percent, according to a VentureBeat Insight Report. That said, while this represents an exceptionally healthy growth in terms of budget size and predicted spending, the reports are still showing that companies are not yet sold on the types of tools that they have available to them through vendors in this category.
This recent mobile marketing data shows that there are considerable problems holding this channel back.
The solutions that companies are actually seeking simply are not yet available. Among the largest struggles that are holding B2B mobile advertising back have to do with a lack of integration and support in the overall marketing technology tools that they are already using on a regular basis. The report showed that nearly 40 percent of the respondents said that the primary problem had to do specifically with the marketing software tool makers.
The second most important problem was identified as being the lack of complete understanding of marketing professionals of the mobile sphere and how to best take advantage of what it has to offer. This is not a new discovery, as the channel has been evolving exceptionally rapidly despite the fact that it is still in a very young phase of its life.
Other struggles that are faced by those attempting to use mobile marketing include a lack of budget to dedicate to this channel. Surprisingly, there remained a group representing 15 percent of businesses that still don't even believe that the channel is effective at all. This, despite the fact that the vast majority of brands are now either already using it or are planning to use it within the not too distant future.

What listeners say about Can I Get a Witness?
Good but a few issues
I really enjoyed the storyline and the building up to highlights (Alana (sp?) and the reasons she seeked to destroy Vanessa, etc.) The only issues that I had with this audiobook is the narration. The narrator seemed to breathe at the wrong times and break up sentences awkwardly. She also seemed to not really grasp the actual essesnce of a particular phrase or statement. I don't know if anyone was directing this at the time it was read, but it seems it could have used a director. Other than the narration, I truly enjoyed this book.
T & J
THIS BOOK WAS VERY FUN TO READ. I CAN'T BELIEVE I READ IT WHILE SOME OF THE SAME THINGS WERE GOING ON IN MY OWN LIFE. IT MADE ME TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MYSELF AND LAUGH OUT LOUD. EXCELLENT READ.
MonaBeeReads
I read the book and now listened, loved the message God has in this book. great one.
This was a good story and I also liked the way the narrator reads.
Amazing book!
The end left me wanting to know more about this family & how their lives would unfold!
N. Hall
A refreshing read
This was my kinda book. Not too churchy (if you know what I mean) with a hint of humor, interesting characters and plot twists. Plus it didn't have all the vulgar language that seems to ruin good books. I live in Houston so it was nice hearing familiar street names and landmarks. I felt right at home -- almost as if I could run into any one of the sisters around town. As a fellow Univ. of Texas alumnae, ReShonda makes us proud!
Arlena
By Arlena (Broken Arrow, OK, United States)
I found Can I Get a Witness? a very interesting audible to listen too. I believe Ms. Billingsley did a wonderful job in bringing out how many of us need a higher power in our daily life. For sure this was
true for Vanessa and Thomsas. The sisters and aunt were interesting people in this story too. This audible was a bit long but good and it kept me interested until the end. I was glad the way the story ended. Truly forgiveness was very important.
Rosalyn J. Reynolds
Great story - NOT SO GREAT narrator
First time I've felt compelled to write a review. This was a really good, well written storyline, but the narrator was EXTREMELY distracting. She placed pauses, comma's and periods where they didn't belong and DIDN'T use them when she should have! Every other sentence I had to replay in my head the way the characters SHOULD have said it, so that I could understand properly follow along. It reminded me if being in elementary school and having to sit through the awkward moments when a kid who couldn't read well, had to read a paragraph out loud. I can't believe her performance was approved for release. Ms. Billingsley produces fabulous work and doesn't deserve to have it performed so poorly.
I really love this author. She allows you to "relate" to the characters. Seeing life through the eyes of the three sisters really is enjoyable. So enjoyed their stories. And just when you think you know what happens, she surprises you. I love this author
Great narration.
well miss my favorite couple
Another Great Listen!
Again this novel kept me spellbound and storyline I didn't see coming and characters "act a fool"!

FBI takes lead in Texas high school shooting investigation
Sean Callebs
Published May 19, 2018 at 8:12 PM
The FBI is now leading the investigation into the mass shooting at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas that left 10 dead and more than a dozen others wounded. Santa Fe officials offered little new information into the investigation on Saturday. However, more details about the student suspect charged in the killing spree have been revealed.
CGTN's Sean Callebs has an update from Texas.
The chaos is still deeply etched in their minds and in their hearts.
"I was thinking I was terrified," said Abel San Miguel, a student at Santa Fe High School. "Because I didn't know if I was going to make it out, that's what was rushing through my head the whole time."
Authorities say 17-year-old student, Dimitrios Pagourtzis is the face of terror. Using his father's shotgun and .38-caliber pistol, police say Pagourtzis shot and killed 10-people and wounded 13 others at the very school he attended in southeast Texas.
Media reports quote students who say the suspect spared people he liked, yet took deadly aim at those he didn't. Witnesses say Pagourtzis was wearing a black trench coat and black boots as here stormed the school.
Some 1,400 students attend classes at Santa Fe High, which joins the long list of mass shootings in the United States.
"We started immediately barricading the door as soon as we got in the classroom," student Damon Rabon said. "And me and a couple of other fellow classmates were trying to calm the girls down. They were just bawling, you know, like it was real – like it was happening to our school."
People across the U.S. turned out for what was known as the March for Life in late March, to demand lawmakers take action on gun control -and to limit access to firearms. But Congressman Randy Weber, whose district includes Santa Fe, was not optimistic anything would change.
"Now is not the time," he said. "When you have a tragedy like this, as I said earlier, we're gonna come together for these families. They still have people to bury; they still have funerals to go through. We'll get back to DC. There will be a time for this, but right now is the time for grieving."
So, if not now, when is the time for lawmakers to start a healthy debate about gun control in an effort to keep weapons out of the hands of would-be killers?
"We've got some changes to make," said Weber. "I am not going over them here. We will discuss those, whether it is hardening targets, whether it is metal detectors, whether it is more school resource officers…whatever it is, these are things we have to come together and discuss."
The FBI is leading the investigation and isn't saying anything about the case. The community is demanding answers. Pagourtzis is charged with capital murder and aggravated assault of a peace officer- two others have been interviewed as "people of interest" – but at this point, no charges have been filed against them.
Santa Fe High seniors are scheduled to graduate this coming weekend. But for now, the campus remains ringed with crime scene tape. The school itself will remain closed through at least Tuesday.
Venezuela to hold controversial presidential election Sunday »


When Sadio Mané's second goal confirmed Liverpool's passage into the Champions League quarter-finals last week, a pocket of visiting supporters erupted in the Allianz Arena. No surprise there, except these fans were among the Bayern Munich contingent.
Segregation had broken down to an extent, but there were no issues. The travelling throng celebrated without fear of reprisals. Neither German police, nor the stewards who were present, felt the need to intervene. Supporters coexisted.
It had been the same a few hours earlier. German and English fans — not necessarily natural bedfellows — had arrived at the stadium together, catching the same train to Frottmaning and walking the half-mile to the ground in each other's company.


Entrepreneurship is to the company what speed is to the athlete. In the quest for sustainable competitive advantage, companies are finding that lower costs, higher quality and better customer service are not enough - they must be faster, more flexible, more aggressive and more innovative. Most managers acknowledge this, but few seem to understand how to make it happen. Thus, the focus of this course will be on creating work environments where entrepreneurship is not the controversy, and students will be challenged to develop and defend their opinions regarding these matters. Students will take their ideas, concepts, tools and frameworks to which they are exposed and apply them both in a series of real world cases to perform an entrepreneurial audit of the company they are working for, and also come up with proposals of how their company could become more entrepreneurial.


Speaking the truth no matter how difficult, rather than simply telling a loved one what they want to hear, is one of numerous life lessons at the very heart of A Monster Calls, an utterly heart-breaking return from J. A. Bayona, director of The Orphanage and The Impossible. Foremost in its intentions, perhaps, is learning how to be truthful to oneself. Over the tumultuous, fantastical and crushingly realist course of this tale of good, bad, and all that is both and in between, Conor (Lewis MacDougall) has to come to terms with the fact that his mother (Felicity Jones) is terminally ill with cancer.
A Monster Calls is playing at the 2016 BFI London Film Festival ahead of a release early in 2017 – don't wait until then to see it! The full CineVue review may be read here.

Damned if I don't…
Although World War II is long over and the Germans lost the war in Europe, I still harbor resentment, even though I know better. I shouldn't feel conflicted. Here's the situation.
Our pharmacy technician's maternal Grandpa, Helmuth Walter, was indirectly responsible for my Uncle Carl's death in World War II. I've been re-reading Joaquin Sanders' book "A Night Before Christmas," in which Mr. Sanders said:
"A reception [by the Germans] was being arranged across the Channel.
"U-486 was one of the new Type VII C German submarines. It carried a crew of 48 and was commanded by a young and previously undistinguished oberleutnant named Gerhard Meyer. It was equipped with the latest of the snorkel devices.
"For a U-boat U-486 had led a dull and uneventful life since its commissioning at the Kiel Shipyards nine months before. The bulk of its career had been spent in unadventurous little sorties from various Baltic ports and in cautious cruising of the relatively less dangerous Scandinavian waters. This period, of course, corresponded with one of the lowest points of German submarine activity during World War II. But winter of 1944 saw a change, a recrudescence of the U-boats, brought about partly by desperation, partly by the development of the snorkel [my emphasis] If the subs still did not have an even break against Allied convoys, with their radar and all-out attack tactics against U-boats, at least they now had a fighting chance."
So what? The late Helmuth Walter, who has his own website and Wikipedia article, was the German engineer responsible for designing the "latest of snorkel devices" at the German port city of Kiel in the mid 1940s.
Our technician is proud of her Grandpa. I, on the other hand, still weep when I think of my heroic Uncle Carl Bonde's death when a U-486 torpedo ended his life Christmas eve, 1944.
That's why I struggle.
Similar to my feelings yesterday, when a theater technician enthusiastically showed me a photograph of his "new toy." Interested, I looked at his phone.
Turned out to be a semi-automatic pistol. I said, "My goodness!" but my mind said, 'fuck no.' I heard him drone on about "concealed carry permit," but I didn't pay attention.
« Story is long over and covered with dust.

Hunter Biden stopped dead in his tracks after a top Republican said these four words
Hunter Biden's growing scandals are a problem that can't be ignored.
Hunter was just forced to confront one painful reality.
And Hunter Biden stopped dead in his tracks after a top Republican said these four words.
The Biden crime family is in the crosshairs of House Republicans in the new session of Congress.
For years, Hunter Biden has ducked accountability for his influence peddling operation that traded on his father's political power.
James Comer (R-KY), the Chair of the powerful House Oversight Committee, is leading one of the main investigations into the Biden family.
Ahead of a potential investigation into Hunter, the White House and the corporate-controlled media are battening down the hatches.
The Biden regime has prepared an army of spin doctors to deflect any bombshell discoveries made by the Committee.
While the Democrats are only focusing on Hunter Biden, Comer explained during an appearance on NBC News's Meet the Press that he is not the GOP's main focus.
"We're not investigating Hunter Biden," Comer explained. "We're investigating Joe Biden."
Host Chuck Todd, a left-wing hack, tried to confront Comer about the investigation by calling it partisan.
Of course, Todd was a cheerleader for the partisan witch hunts against former President Donald Trump.
"It looks more partisan than professional," Todd said.
"I think the only people that see this as a partisan investigation are the media and the hardcore Democrats," Comer replied.
Comer has pushed back on false claims of partisanship from Democrats by pointing out that Joe Biden has avoided cooperating on legally required oversight.
"Look, at the same moment that the Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee released Donald Trump's taxes, they then, moments later, turned around and said that Comer's investigation of the Biden family influence peddling is a revenge," Comer continued.
Democrats spent years politicizing Congressional oversight to use as a political weapon against Trump.
Comer pointed out that the majority of the public wants honest oversight of the bombshell revelations about the Bidens.
A recent poll from Harvard found that 65% of Americans believe that an investigation should be conducted into the contents of Hunter Biden's infamous "laptop from hell."
Comer explained that the focus of his investigation will be whether or not Joe Biden is compromised by the shady foreign business deal that the President's younger brother James carried out with his son Hunter.
"There are emails and text messages that show Hunter Biden complaining about having to spend so much money keeping his dad up," Comer said. "I mean, that's a concern because Hunter Biden's only source of income was from our adversaries in China and Russia for influence peddling."
A slow drip of information from Hunter's laptop and from whistleblowers indicates that the President was lying when he said he never discussed business with his son.
James Comer's investigation into the Biden crime family is going to be a major headache for the White House.

Healthcare companies have been facing leakages regarding personal patient information due to misuse of data. Patient information is not kept encrypted even though it may have sensitive and personal information.
Due to the lack of digital payment systems, there is a manual transfer for funds to be carried out which leads to funds being misplaced and misused.
There is a lack of real-time communication between patients and doctors to give constant updates regarding their condition and updates in case of emergencies.
We engineered a cross-currency algorithm to the payment system using Google API integration, to allow payments from across the world and convert them to the home currency of the doctor. Third-party integration enabled a dedicated and controlled payment platform, accepting all major cards across the globe.

Customers are up in arms over wait times for delivery of Dell's new Axim X5 handheld--the PC seller's competitively priced entry into the Pocket PC device market.
A number of customers who ordered Dell Computer's new Axim X5 handheld are complaining it is taking too long to get their hands on the devices.
Dell launched the competitively priced Axim X5 in November in a move that marked the direct PC seller's entry into the handheld computer market. But now message boards on Dell's Web sites are filled with complaints from buyers upset that they don't yet have the gadgets they ordered weeks ago.
Dell spokesman Cody Pinkston said the company is aware that the wait time for the Axim X5 is longer than normal. He said Dell is "working real hard to fill orders as expediently as possible."
The typical wait time for Dell gear is three to five days, though Axim orders are taking around two weeks to fill, Pinkston said. He added that waits could be even longer in some cases if customers order accessories, such as a wireless card or folding keyboard, at the same time.
"The popularity of Axim and...the availability of some new accessories...has resulted in longer-than-normal lead times," Pinkston said.
Some people who put in an order in December say they still have not received their device. Postings on the company's Web site included messages from past Dell customers who wondered why an entire PC system ships faster than a handheld, and complaints that the company keeps changing the expected ship date for their orders. There was also a posting by someone with the user name "keepingMyPalmVx" who wanted to cancel an order.
The direct PC seller broke new pricing ground when it introduced the Axim X5 in November, offering devices for as little as $199 after rebate, roughly $100 cheaper than the nearest competitor among color devices running Microsoft's Pocket PC operating system.
Dell won't say how many of the devices have sold, but Pinkston said that "it's a popular product."
Jared Heller, a civil engineering student at North Dakota State University, said he ordered his device Jan. 8 and is being told that it won't ship until Feb. 3.
"The fact of the story is that I ordered mine online, and there was nothing on (Dell's) Web site about back-ordering of the handhelds, so I figured I would get mine in a week or so, and that is not the case," Heller said in an e-mail interview.

Anne Marie Card, 58
By Obits
WILMINGTON — On January 19, 2023, Anne Marie Card, a beloved wife, mother, and sister, passed away peacefully in Wilmington, North Carolina, after a long battle with Parkinson's disease and cancer. She was 58 years old. Anne is survived by husband, Cliff of 41 years. Their children James and David (Ashley) and grandchildren Addison, Landon, Madelyn, Everett and Sawyer. As well as, her sisters Theresa Bissaillon of Titusville, Florida and Kathy Fresia of Dalton, Massachusetts.
Anne devoted her life to her children and children within her community. She spent twenty four years working in the North Carolina school system. Students and coworkers at Mary C. Williams Elementary School and Myrtle Grove Middle School were part of what helped her stay positive and motivated through the years. She was loved by students and her peers. Anne enjoyed the simple things in life and spending time with her family. To know her was to love her.
Anne was determined to beat her ailments. She did a tremendous amount of research for her Parkinson's and cancer. With doctors, her research and a strong faith, Anne fought until the very end. She showed her family what true resilience and perseverance looks like. Anne's family is grateful for the extra time they spent with her this past year.
Anne will be greatly missed by her loving family and always remembered in their hearts.
We are sincerely grateful to the many friends, coworkers and community who have given our family support and comfort during this time of loss. There will be a private funeral service.
We ask in lieu of flowers, donations are made in Anne's honor to the nonprofit Lower Cape Fear LifeCare who provided amazing care to Anne and helped counsel our family during this difficult time. Donations can be made at http://lcfh.org or by check payable to Lower Cape Fear LifeCare and mail to: Lower Cape Fear LifeCare, 1414 Physicians Drive, Wilmington, NC 28401
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared with the Card family here.

1) Preheat a non stick grill pan over medium high heat, drizzle both sides of the bread with a little oil and grill it for a few minutes on each side or until it develops grill marks and its nice and crusty.
2) As soon as it comes out of the oven, rub the garlic clove all over it and then cut the bread in one inch pieces, set aside.
3) In a large bowl, add all your chopped veggies, the grilled bread chunks, oregano, and basil, season everything with salt and pepper and drizzle over the oil and vinegar.
4) Toss everything together well to make sure the oil and vinegar is coating the veggies and the bread nicely.
5) You can serve it right away but let it sit in the fridge for about an hour before you serve it so that all the flavors can penetrate the bread.

Шаховска табла је квадратна плоча са системом мреже 8х8 (укупно 64) једнака квадратна поља наизменично светле ("беле боје") и тамне ("црне боје"). На њој се игра шаховска партија између два противника који наизменично померају своје фигуре. Поставља се између играча тако да доње угаоно поље на десној страни сваког играча буде беле боје.

Изглед и стандарди

Стандарди шаховске опреме на такмичењима ФИДЕ усвојени су 1975. године. Препоручује се да поља на табли буду површине 5х5 -{cm}- — 6,5х6,5 -{cm}-, односно, дупле величине у односу на површину основе пешака. На светским и континенталним првенствима користи се дрвена табла. За сва друга ФИДЕ такмичења, препоручено је да табла може бити од дрвета, пластике или картона. Ако судија нађе да је прихватљиво, табла може бити од камена или од мермера, с тим што би таква табла морала имати прихватљиву боју белих и црних поља. Као материјал за шаховску таблу најприхватљивије је природно дрво довољног контраста, као што су бреза, јавор, европски јасен, орах, тиковина, буква. У том случају, табла мора имати "туп" или неутралан финиш без сјаја. Дозвољене комбинације боја за ФИДЕ такмичења су црна, смеђа, зелена, или веома жутосмеђа за црна поља, а бела, крем, боја слоноваче, или боја бивоље коже (бледа мркожута) за бела поља.

Почетна позиција

На шаховску таблу постављају се фигуре. На почетку партије један играч има 16 светло обојених фигура ("беле" фигуре), а други има 16 тамно обојених фигура ("црне" фигуре). Те фигуре су следеће:

 један бели краљ, обично означен симболом ♔
 једна бела дама, обично означена симболом ♕
 два бела топа, обично означена симболом ♖
 два бела ловца, обично означена симболом ♗
 два бела скакача, обично означена симболом ♘
 осам белих пешака, обично означени симболом ♙
 један црни краљ, обично означен симболом ♚
 једна црна дама, обично означена симболом ♛
 два црна топа, обично означена симболом ♜
 два црна ловца, обично означена симболом ♝
 два црна скакача, обично означена симболом ♞
 осам црних пешака, обично означени симболом ♟.

Линије, редови и дијагонале

Осам вертикалних колона поља називају се "линије". Осам хоризонталних низова поља називају се "редови". Праве линија исте боје које се додирују угловима, називају се "дијагонале".

Форсајт-Едвардсова нотација (ФЕН)

Ингениозна и једноставна метода записивања позиције, коју је предложио Дејвид Форсајт. Започињући од последњег реда шаховске табле, пишу се почетна слова фигура слева удесно. Празна поља одређена су бројем који говори колико их има, а крај реда означен је косом цртом. Беле фигуре представљене су великим, а црне малим словима.

Фен нотација постала је популарна као систем за означавање позиције у једној линији текста, и то још пре појаве компујтера. У шаховским програмима, ФЕН се веома често користи за чување позиције јер људи лако могу да прочита позицију. ФЕН позиција се записује на енглеском језику.

Записано ФЕН нотацијом, овако изгледа почетна позиција:

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

Позиција после 1. е4:

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq e3 0 1

Позиција после 1. .. ц5:

rnbqkbnr/pp1ppppp/8/2p5/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq c6 0 2

Табла за играче са хендикепом вида

Директори турнира имају овлашћења прилагодити следећа правила према локалним околностима. У такмичарском шаху између играча који виде и играча хендикепираног вида (стварно слепих), и један и други играч могу затражити коришћење две шаховске табле, од којих нормалну таблу употребљава играч који види, а специјално направљену таблу играч хендикепираног вида. Специјално направљена табла мора задовољити следеће захтеве:

 да су јој најмање димензије 20х20 -{cm}-.
 да су црна поља незнатно издигнута.
 да има сигурносни отвор за причвршћивање на сваком пољу.
 да свака фигура има колчић који одговара сигурносном отвору за причвршћивање
 да су фигуре типа "Стаунтон", и да су црне фигуре посебно означене.

Whispers of torment and anger,
distrust and pain.
They beg to rest,
to sleep without horror.
They seek justice,
answers,
and accountability.
They gather in strength,
remembering their dignity,
their grace,
and their purpose.
Take heed,
for they are approaching,
a force of fury
in a river of blood.
Award winning and bestselling author, Mandy Jackson-Beverly was born in the bustling town of Pyramid Hill, Victoria, Australia … Population: 419. This remote childhood kick-started Mandy's imagination, as did the rugged coastline and rolling hills of Tasmania, where her family relocated when she was four years old.
In 1982, Mandy moved to London, where she discovered the importance of the creative collective: The 1980s fashion scene. A year later, in Los Angeles, she found her own creative freedom among the thriving, no-holds-barred visionaries of the music video world. As a costume designer and stylist Mandy worked for photographer Herb Ritts, and directors Joel and Ethan Coen, David Fincher, and Julien Temple, and music icons David Bowie, Madonna, and Tina Turner, to name a few.

Crossing the boundaries of genres, "A Secret Muse" is a richly textured novel of good and evil, light and dark... Jackson-Beverly is a born storyteller and has created this suspenseful and compulsively readable story that is truly a gift.
This contemporary thriller filled with mystical adventure, captivated me from the first paragraph and kept me turning the pages. The only reason I ever put the book down was to catch my breath.
Amazingly inventive story. I loved the layers of detail in the story. The descriptions of Italy and the art world were lovely. If you like a conspiracy this had plenty to intrigue you.
If this is a first book I want more. You have gifted us with a new land which should offer many tales.

That was the clear message from LIC Board Chair and Nelson dairy farmer Murray King at the farmer-owned co-operative's annual meeting in Hamilton.
"We are taking what we learnt from our transformation programme, the methods we have adopted and efficiencies we have gained to unlock new opportunities and deliver even more benefits for our shareholders. A sustainable and prolonged industry-leading focus on innovation and R&D is critical to that.
"Over the last year we have introduced SPACE, a pasture management system which utilises satellite technology to estimate a farm's pasture cover.
"This technology can deliver significant benefit to farmers and the uptake has been excellent.
King also outlined the co-op's "solid performance" for the financial year ended 31 May 2018 with record revenue achieved. A full year dividend of $2.44 million fully imputed was paid to shareholders on 17 August 2018, representing 80% of underlying earnings. This was the first dividend to be paid on LIC's ordinary shares after the share simplification in July 2018.
King concluded by reiterating the vital role of innovation in LIC's ongoing success.
"Our recently refreshed strategy put innovation at the heart of our co-operative.
"That's because if we are to continue to lead the global pastoral dairy system we need to have an unrelenting focus on innovation in genetics and farm management technology.
"I am confident that this focus will empower our farmers, benefit our communities and environment, and strengthen our bottom line," concluded King.
Reappoint Ms Candace Kinser Reed as an appointed director for a further three year term.

/ News / Drysdale stairwell opens for rappelling October 16
Drysdale stairwell opens for rappelling October 16
One day, University of Lynchburg grounds employee Tim Mason was headed to lunch at Drysdale Student Center. As a volunteer leader and participant with Lynchburg's Outdoor Leadership Program, he and program coordinator Peter Berry had been thinking about alternative locations for rappelling.
The program had been using Wake Field House, which could be crowded and noisy, with weightlifting and music playing. As Berry put it, "that's not really conducive for trying to educate someone on some very technical skills while hanging on a rope."
In Drysdale that day, Mason said he thought, "That stairwell would be awesome," referring to the three-story-tall stairwell that runs from a corner of the Veterans Lounge to the ground floor. So, Mason, Berry, and student Tim Slusser '21 mounted a heavy metal pipe across the top of the stairwell and created a new recreational space at Lynchburg.
While the pipe is permanently installed, rappelling ropes and equipment will only be brought out by authorized personnel. "We don't want anybody trying to use it like a jungle gym," Berry said.
There are advantages to rappelling in the stairwell, Berry said, other than the relative quiet. The stairs encircling the drop zone makes it easy to help someone who's having trouble or gets frightened. "Maintaining eye level" is easy, he said, and you can quickly pull someone over the railing if they "freeze up."
He also said the space will be good for some of the classes he teaches. "It's a great opportunity and location for both rappelling and ascending and rescue practices," he said. "It would certainly be skillsets covered with our rock climbing and vertical rope-work class in the health and physical education [major] and outdoor recreation minor."
As for safety, Berry described the system as "over engineered" and said, "You could lower a truck on it. I like overkill safety." Participants also wear safety harnesses and Hornet-red helmets, and there's a thick crash pad at the bottom.
Kendall Malsam '17 rappels at Drysdale.
Kendall Malsam '17, a grad student who works in the Office of Student Activities, was one of the first people to test out the new rappelling site. He'd rappelled before and had done zip-lining and tree-climbing when offered at Lynchburg.
On a recent afternoon, Malsam geared up, got some basic instruction from Berry, and rappelled down the stairwell. After safely landing on the crash pad below, he announced the experience "a blast." He added, "This'll be cool. A lot of people will like it."
A grand opening for the new rappelling site will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, October 16. The event is open to students, faculty, and staff who want to try rappelling. For the remainder of the fall semester, Berry said, there will be rappelling at least once a week. "We'll schedule it, beyond that, based on interest and what students are most interested in."

Curious how to get your tofu crispy every time?
I'll teach you in three steps how to cook perfect crispy tofu using my Sweet Pineapple Tofu marinade.
Tofu is an excellent food choice for vegans, vegetarians, and health conscious omnivores alike! It's one of the few, high protein plant foods available today and has incredible health benefits; mainly through disease prevention and aiding in weight loss.
Tofu originated in China over 2,000 years ago. It then quickly spread all over southeast Asia to countries like Japan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand.
Around that same time, during the Buddhist revolution, tofu became an essential food within the vegetarian diet. Because of that, healthy eating continued to take off and it was quickly introduced to the West during the 1960's.
It never really took off until recently. Thanks to the recent boom in the popularity of plant-based diets, tofu and other soy based foods have been brought back into the limelight.
Tofu comes from soy milk (pressed from soy beans) and then curdled into soft white blocks.
Those blocks typically come in many varieties: soft, medium, firm, extra-firm and silken. The first three varieties are most common in main courses, while silken tofu is best utilized in sauces, smoothies, and puddings.
As mentioned earlier, tofu is a superior plant protein source, but it also contains beneficial vitamins and minerals.
Manganese: 31% of the RDI.
All those vitamins and minerals account for its health benefits. In fact, research shows that women who ate soy products as a child and as an adult had a 24% lower risk of developing breast cancer, compared to those who ate soy during childhood alone.
Another study observed that higher intakes of tofu were linked to a 61% lower risk of stomach cancer in men.
Pretty powerful benefits from a bean!
Now that you know why you should eat it, learn how to make it!
First, squeeze the water from the tofu. Take the tofu out of the package, drain excess water, and wrap with paper towels or a clean dish towel.
Second, place the wrapped tofu in between two plates and top with something heavy (I used two cans). Allow to press for 15 minutes.
During this time, prepare your marinade. After you chop the garlic and ginger, pour all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.
After you tofu is finished pressing, unwrap it, place on a cutting board, and slice into squares, ½" thick .
Place tofu into a flat baking dish and pour in the marinade. Swish around lightly to coat. Alternatively, you can flip the pieces to marinate both sides.
Cover with a clean dish towel and marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes, the longer the better. (the longer you let it soak, the more the tofu will absorb the flavor of the marinade).
Five minutes before you plan to cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat (for numbered oven dials: between 6-7; for temperature dials: between medium and high).
Once hot (test by splashing some water on your pan. If it sizzles, you're ready), add two tbsp vegetable oil. This is an important step. Normally I use less oil in recipes, but the tofu needs it to crisp properly.
Fry tofu for 8-10 minutes on each side, coating with extra marinade a couple times. Don't flip until the first side is fully crisped.
After frying both sides, remove from heat and place tofu on cutting board. Serve as is or chop to desired size.
An alternative oil-free method: Bake tofu at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Then remove from oven, coat with half of the marinade, and place back in oven for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove once more, coat with the rest of the marinade, and finish it off in the oven for five more minutes (keep a close eye on the tofu toward the end so it doesn't burn).
While eating this alone would still be delicious, it's best be served with sides like some sliced pineapple and sautéed broccolini. Alternatively, you could eat this with my Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Fries, brown rice, or other vegetables.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container (I like these) for 2-3 days.
If you make this recipe, please share using the social media buttons in your browser! Also, don't forget to use hashtag #plantbasedscotty on Instagram!
Wrap tofu with either a clean dish towel or paper towels. Place the wrapped tofu in between two plates and top with something heavy to slowly press out the water. Let tofu sit for 15 minutes.
Prepare the marinade by adding all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine. After tofu is pressed, slice it into large squares (about 1/2" thick). Add tofu to marinade, cover, and allow to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes (the longer it sits, the more flavorful it becomes).
Five minutes before it's done marinating, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add vegetable oil, then add tofu and cook for 8-10 minutes each side (periodically top with extra marinade). Serve hot with your favorites sides!

23. Private Bills Practice
Print this section | Open/print full chapter
My understanding of the private bill procedure is that it was established to protect the public against the uncontrolled granting of special powers to private interests. I believe that there is no quarrel about this interpretation.
Speaker Lucien Lamoureux
( Debates , February 22, 1971, p. 3628)
he distinction between public and private legislation has been inherited from British practice. [1] Private bills differ from public bills by their intent, content and method of passage. By definition, the purpose or intent of a private bill is to confer special powers or benefits upon one or more persons or body of persons; or to exclude one or more persons or body of persons from the general application of the law. A public bill may be broadly described as a bill which deals with a matter of public policy for the benefit of the community at large and is introduced directly by a Member of the House. On the other hand, a private bill relates directly to the affairs of an individual or group of individuals, including a corporation, named in the bill; the bill seeks something which cannot be obtained by means of the general law and is founded on a petition from an individual or group of individuals. [2]
Private bills must not be confused with private Members' bills. Although private bills are sponsored by private Members, the term "private Member's bill" refers to public bills dealing with a matter of public policy introduced by Members who are not Ministers.
Private bills are subject to special rules in both Houses of Parliament. Since private bills ask Parliament to adjudicate upon the interests of private parties and to be watchful over the interests of the public, they are said to involve Parliament in both a judicial capacity and a legislative capacity. [3] Private bills can originate in either the House of Commons or the Senate, although most private bills originate in the Senate where the fees and charges imposed on the promoter are less. [4] Private bills must pass through the basic procedural stages common to all legislation; they must also meet certain parliamentary requirements which distinguish them procedurally from all other types of bills.
Private bill procedure is unique in its origins, forms and principles and has changed very little since 1867. While they are now relatively rare, private bills once constituted a large part of the legislative business of the House. In the early years of Confederation, the House dealt with a large volume of private legislation to establish companies to build and operate railways and to incorporate interprovincial companies since no other legal authority allowed such corporations to be formed. In addition, private bills requesting the dissolution of marriages occupied much of the House's time because Parliament had been granted the exclusive jurisdiction to legislate with respect to marriage and divorce.
Today, private legislation accounts for only a minuscule percentage of House business. [5] Most private bills now deal with the incorporation of, or amendments to the acts of incorporation of, religious, charitable and other organizations and of insurance, trust and loan companies. [6] In recent years, private legislation has been used for the amalgamation of insurance companies and the revival of small business corporations which have previously been dissolved. [7] Although the reasons for this decrease in the passage of private bills vary, it is to a large degree due to changes to the general law, such as the Dissolution and Annulment of Marriages Act in 1963, [8] and the Marriage (Prohibited Degrees) Act in 1990, [9] and administrative mechanisms found in present acts such as the Canada Business Corporations Act, [10] the Canada Corporations Act [11] and the Bank Act. [12]
This chapter explains in general terms the kinds of bills classed as private, describes the principles of private bill procedure and how they are applied, and gives an overview of the particularities of the legislative process for such bills in the House of Commons.

Chris Pratt Confirms Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Shoots in 2019
By Scott Russell | May 4, 2018 | 11:36am
Image via Marvel Studios Movies News Guardians of the Galaxy
Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, aka "Star Wars," aka nonfictional person Chris Pratt, will return to guarding the galaxy in 2019, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe star confirmed in an Instagram post on Thursday. Pratt took to IG to wish his Guardians and Avengers: Infinity War co-star Pom Klementieff (aka Mantis) a happy birthday, adding, "Can't wait to start shooting Guardians Vol. 3 with her next year!"
We've known for over a year that there would be a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3—Guardians writer-director James Gunn promised as much last March, later confirming his return to write and direct the second sequel, and he's since revealed that Vol. 3 should open in 2020. (We also know that Mark Hamill may show up in it, although that's far from a sure thing.) So it's nice to have a concrete timeline on the next (and perhaps last) Guardians adventure.
... Which brings us to the Infinity War of it all. If you haven't seen the film, you'll want to step away from this post.
As those of you who've seen Infinity War (or have blithely ignored our spoiler warning) are aware (or are about to be), Star-Lord is the film's second-biggest asshole, behind only Thanos. In a critical and gut-wrenching scene, the Avengers have the Mad Titan at their mercy, with a universe-saving coup at their literal fingertips, only for Star-Lord to bungle it all up. So Pratt's character is going to have some serious goodwill to make up in Vol. 3, assuming he's not able to do so in the Infinity War follow-up (because, you know, he turned into a dust cloud and died).
It's not only that: This reminder that the Guardians are on track to return to our movie screens in 2020 also reinforces the apparent emptiness of Infinity War's ending. It's awfully difficult to take Thanos' Avenger-slaying universe destruction seriously when we know that the Guardians—all but one of whom "died" during Infinity War's would-be-brutal denouement—are coming back for another batch of wacky antics in the near future.
But with all that said, Infinity War still managed to deliver a haymaker to the heart, even in light of the clear elasticity of its ending. And of course, we'll be overjoyed to have the Guardians back in 2020 … even Star-Lord.
See Pratt's Instagram post below and shake a fist in Star-Lord's general direction (which, we suppose, is the stars) for getting a lot of good Avengers killed.
Happy Birthday @pom.klementieff whom many of you know as Mantis!!! She's such a unique, talented and driven artist. Can't wait to start shooting Guardians Vol. 3 with her next year! Hope you're having a good day Pom!

Olympic Sports Rundown: Just Wrestling for a while
By Matt Gritzmacher and John McWhinnie Dec 6, 2015, 10:21pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Olympic Sports Rundown: Just Wrestling for a while
We're going to go to half-hour shows on Sunday nights for the month of December, since when it comes to Olympic Sports, we've pretty much only got Wrestling. The Bulls today lost to Eastern Michigan, 30-3, which isn't ideal.
In the next week, all we've got again is wrestling, but at least we've got it twice, thanks to a home match against Gardner-Webb and another road MAC match on Sunday against Kent State.
I'm not sure who will all be on, but we've got Monday night Bulls and Beers back up and running with our first basketball show of the year. Stay tuned after the Iowa State game for that.
