About MEAC
The Methods
Joanne Lewis-Margolius was only nineteen when she founded MEAC. To her great credit and as a testimony to all her hard work the company, which began as a local English theater troupe, developed into an International company. Following an AA degree at Barnet Art College, Joanne began a fashion degree at the Middlesex University. However, near to its completion, she embarked on a summer of voluntary work with a drama group called Action Space London Events. This was to change her life. The group introduced Joanne to the world of the disabled and theatrical expression. Inspired by this experience Joanne felt the need to create her own ideas about expression. She left college and trained with mime Adam Darius, ballet dancer Jacky Hands. and movement teacher Ronald Wilson. MEAC was born.
It began with a seven page proposal, a budget of $300 for equipment.
"Our presentation will consist of various instruments, costumes and props, but the key element we will use is our imagination. Our success will be measured by the energy put in by volunteers and artists alike. The. response of our participants, I hope, will be one of renewed motivation and expressed feelings of recognition as the individual is drawn out."
In response to the proposal, the Haringey Arts Council provided the first grant in support of establishing the organization. In March, 1986" The Royal Society for Mentally Handicapped Adults (MENCAP) took MEAC under its wing by providing insurance and administrative assistance which allowed the group to reach its. financial and professional 'goals. Local disability organizations gathered together groups of children and adults to participate in the twice weekly evening shows, and London based schools welcomed MEAC into their classrooms. The Borough of Haringey provided the troupe with a performance space and office - By July of 1986, the vision had become a reality.

Below is an essay on "History" from Anti Essays, your source for research papers, essays, and term paper examples.
The main reasons why the Germans hated the Treaty of Versailles was because they thought it was unfair. Germany had not taken part in the Conference. The terms were imposed upon Germany – when Germany disagreed, the Allies threatened to go to war again. The Germans were treated like a defeated country, but they did not think they had been defeated. They had signed an Armistice – a ceasefire – in 1918, and they had thought they were accepting Wilson's 14 Points. In the event, few of the 14 Points got into the Treaty. The Germans thought they had been tricked and betrayed, and they hated the Treaty.
The Germans were also furious about the various terms of the Treaty. They hated clause 231 – the 'War Guilt' clause – which stated that Germany had caused 'all the loss and damage' of the war. Firstly, the Germans did not think that they had caused the war (for the Germans, the war was a war of self-defence against Russia, which had mobilised 31 July 1914). During the 1920s, the Germans published all their secret documents from 1914, to prove they had tried to stop the war. Secondly, the Germans hated clause 231 because accepting it gave the Allies the moral right to punish Germany – it validated all the harsh terms of the Treaty.
Germany hated the military terms of the Treaty (army of 100,000, only 6 battleships, no submarines or aeroplanes). The Germans said it left them powerless against even the tiny new nation-states. The demilitarisation of the Rhineland was hated because the Weimar republic was weak, and there were many rebellions. But in April 1920, when the Germans sent troops into the Rhineland to stop rioting, the French invaded. The Germans said that not to be able to send troops even to places inside Germany was a national insult.


From 2011 to 2015, Virginia is commemorating the 150th anniversary, or the sesquicentennial, of the American Civil War (1861-1865). The Civil War was a dramatic time in our history, culminating in a divide between North and South not easily healed.
August 2-February 1, 2015: The William King Arts Museum will host "An American Turning Point: The Civil War in Virginia", an exhibit on loan from the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond. Please see the William King website for their hours and more information about programming during the exhibit.
From 1861 through 1865 Virginia stood at the center of a military and social revolution. How we define freedom, liberty, patriotism, and nation today is directly related to the diverse experiences of the individuals who participated in the war. This exhibition encourages visitors to consider how a single event, separated from us by 150 years, so fundamentally reshaped American society that its impact is still experienced today. What was gained by the Civil War, what was lost, and what is left for us to resolve?
An American Turning Point: The Civil War in Virginia consists of two 1,500 square-foot gallery traveling exhibitions—Waging War and Surviving War—that together feature over 200 objects and 17 state-of-the-art audiovisual programs.

Venalidade é uma característica do comportamento humano associado à suscetibilidade de se ser subornável ou de vender seus serviços ou de poder, especialmente quando em vez disso se deve agir com justiça. A venalidade é mais considerada como um vício e não uma virtude.

Na sua forma mais reconhecível, a de desonestidade, a venalidade leva as pessoas a mentir e a roubar em seu benefício pessoal, e está relacionada com a corrupção e nepotismo, entre outros vícios.

A venalidade, na sua forma mais suave, é um vício notável especialmente entre aqueles com carreiras administrativas, governativas ou militares. Nestes campos é suposto agir com justiça e honra, e não aceitar subornos. Isso garante que a organização não é suscetível a auto-interessados.

Venalidade é um termo frequentemente usado com referência à França pré-revolucionária, onde se descreve a prática generalizada da venda de cargos administrativos dentro do governo pelo maior lance, como se de um leilão se tratasse.

Em contraste, ninguém ficaria surpreso de encontrar um comerciante ou pessoa contratada para a tomada de decisões profissionais por razões venais. Na verdade, Adam Smith e outros economistas de uma linha mais libertária poderiam argumentar que a venalidade é uma virtude, porque ajuda a criar a "mão invisível" que controla as forças de mercado. No entanto, pode ser por isso que muitas sociedades militaristas frequentemente desprezam os comerciantes.

The U.S. Treasury said Thursday that the IRS will update the form in the coming weeks for use for the 2019 tax year. That version is expected to be fairly similar to the W-4 currently in use. A more significant change will come in 2020 with the aim of making the withholding systems more accurate and transparent to employees.

While lurking around many blogs today trying to uncover their mystery, I stumbled up The Best of 2009 Blog Challenge. The idea is to write 31 posts using 31 prompts (or as many or as few as you want) as a retrospective of 2009.
December 27 Social web moment.
Blog – I'd say my biggest blog moment in 2009 is that I started one! It wasn't my idea, but here I am trying to figure out what to write, when to write, how to write etc. I feel like a toddler learning to type or a dog trying to drive the car.
Yes, I can do it, but someone might need to take the wheel every once in a while or everyone might get car sick.
While we have just wrapped up our official training, most of us are still using our blogs to find our new place in the world. I feel like these blogs have let us see what is behind the curtain for the new teachers. It feels like a community.
Havi Brooks of the Fluent Self is a complete genius. She came to Sacramento to talk to me and all the other newbie yoga teachers about business stuff and to do some very cool dancing.
I'm so glad I got to meet her in person. She has so many interesting and thoughtful and wordy things to say in her blog, it was nice to hear them and now I'm so much better at understanding what she's talking about. I hope I get to meet her again!
I discovered Twitter because my favorite singer, @rhettmiller is on there. Embarrassing semi-stalker confessions, but totally true. He's the first person on my following list and he was my #97 when he decided to follow me (amazing because his band is called the Old97s).
Getting Rhett Miller to follow me took some lobbying from one of my other Twitter friends @sophieandlili who I did not know before the wonderful world of Twitter.
In addition to keeping apprised of all things Rhett, I've connected with a bunch of really interesting, smart women while I was there: @sophieandlili, @beckyandhollee, @ashmont to name just a couple.

'Silence is compliance': How you can speak out against systematic racism
Learn, sign, donate, email, share
Charissa Cheong & Natasha Leake
Last Monday (26th May), George Floyd, 46, was killed after a policeman knelt on his neck in Minneapolis. Several officers had responded to a call that claimed Floyd had used a forged $20 bill, and the officers claim that when they reached him, he "physically resisted" them. A video of one officer kneeling on Floyd's neck whilst he wheezes "I can't breath, I can't breathe" went viral. The Minneapolis Police department, in a press conference on Tuesday, said Floyd died of a 'medical incident' in hospital shortly after.
This is as shocking to write as it is to read. It is right to feel a burning sense of injustice at the ways in which our global society has failed its citizens, and it is right to want to act to change. What happened to George Floyd was terrible and sheds light on so many ongoing problems that need to be tackled in our society. As The Cambridge Tab, we are very lucky to have a platform where we can talk about these issues and generate conversation among Cambridge students. So we've decided to compile a list of resources on the ways in which you can get involved, break the silence and make a difference.
Yasmin Kira and Eliane Thoma-Stemmet, representatives from Untangling the Knot, an Instagram platform for BME students at Cambridge and other UK universities on racial identity, told The Cambridge Tab: "COVID-19 has brought the discussion of race into sharp focus – with unprecedented tragedies taking place nationally, and internationally. What we cannot do, however, is see these viral incidents in a vacuum: police brutality and racial injustice have done, and continue to, plague the lives of BME people every single day. We must use this as a time to think and reflect: how do we, as individuals, help to combat racism? Racism is the lived experience of people of colour – and we must all listen to these stories. We must all speak up and speak out. It should not be left to people of colour to fight racism alone".
If you're worried about "not knowing enough" or "not wanting to say the wrong thing", reading more about the fight against systematic racism, and about the concept of silence within discussions about race itself, is a good place to start. Before you think about signing a petition or donating, read about the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor – as well as those of the countless other victims of institutional racism. Read the statements made by their friends and family, and consider the calls to action that are being made.
In the ongoing discussion about racism in our institutions, communities, and daily lives, the black community is not left with the sole responsibility of seeking out justice. We can all equip and educate ourselves in this battle by learning from literature, reports, and articles that have been produced in the effort to break the silence on racial discrimination.

'Justice for George Floyd' at change.org
This petition was started by a 15-year-old teen in Oregon and has already become the most signed petition in the history of change.org. At the time of writing, 'Justice for George Floyd', has had over 9.4 million signatures. The petition demanded that the four police officers involved in Floyd's murder be fired and for charges to be filed. Since the petition was set up six days ago, all four officers have been fired, and one has been charged with third-degree murder. Signatories of this petition intend to reach the attention of Mayor Jacob Frey and DA Mike Freeman to pursue further legal action.
Black Lives Matter '#DefundThePolice'
This petition upholds the belief that law enforcement does not protect black lives, but threatens and takes them. For this reason, it calls for a national defunding of police. "We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive."
You can also donate to help fund Black Lives Matter Campaigns, here.
Enough is enough. We call for an END to the systemic racism that allows this culture of corruption to go unchecked and our lives to be taken. We call for radical, sustainable solutions that affirms the prosperity of Black lives throughout America. See the demands. Sign the petition. #linkinbio #DefundThePolice #blacklivesmatter 1.

Official George Floyd Memorial Fund
Four days ago, Philonise Floyd, brother to George Floyd, set up a gofundme page to cover funeral and burial costs, to allow relatives to seek grief counselling, and to pay for travel and living expenses for all court proceedings. The fundraiser had an initial target of $1.5 million and has since raised over $5.3 million for George's family. The page also includes a Tallahassee address where condolences or financial contributions can be sent.

National Bail Project
The Bail Project works to support incarcerated people, posting bail for those who can't afford it. On Saturday, they put together a Twitter thread of local bail funds supporting protestors who have been arrested whilst demanding justice for the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and all victims of police brutality and violence. Over the last six days, hundreds of protestors have been arrested in American cities, and others are still being fired upon with rubber bullets, pepper bullets, and tear gas by local authorities. A comprehensive list of local bail-out funds and fundraisers can also be found in this resource document.

Donate with no money
This video project was created to offer people a way to donate to #blacklivesmatter without having any actual money or going out to protest themselves. 100 per cent of the ad revenue the video makes through AdSense will be donated to the associations that offer protester bail funds, help pay for family funerals, and advocacy that are listed in the beginning of the video. The video can be found here.
Write to the Minneapolis police department and DA's office
A student from Durham University and a student from the University of Southampton have collaborated on this email template addressed to the Minneapolis police department and DA's office, demanding greater legal measures to be taken against the police officers involved in George Floyd's murder. The template suggests that whilst officer Derek Chauvin has been arrested and charged, other officers who were also participants should be held accountable for their inaction in avoiding his death. It concludes: "By addressing the heart of the disease instead of curing one symptom when it manifests, there is a chance that unnecessary deaths like Floyd's can be avoided in the future." Email addresses and a subject byline are also included in this document.
A Cambridge student who has used this template to email authorities spoke to The Cambridge Tab about why he believes lobbying via email is so important: "To be honest, up until recently, I was of the mindset that listening and reading alone was enough. I believed that it was enough just to be a bystander, silently condemning the actions of the police. I've now realised that this is not enough. This mindset came from a place of privilege. I was privileged enough to not have to speak about these issues and to keep silent. I didn't realise that my privilege was a form of compliance. Silence is compliance with systematic racism.
"This is why it is so important to use whatever platforms you have to start conversations about race, even if you feel uncomfortable, even if you feel like it is not your place. Using my voice to write, send and share this email template is a way to break the silence and actively combat systematic racism. The more people that email, the more pressure will be placed on the police department and the DA. It also works to mobilise people in a conversation that many think is otherwise inaccessible."

You can also email the University
This email template was created by Dom Borghino, a student at UCL, but can be used as a guide for all University students, to pressure academic bodies to take action in the recognition of the murder of George Floyd. It is designed to be sent to Heads of Departments, College Deans or any authority figure in the University, and demands: "During a time like this, it is therefore your responsibility to speak to your black students directly and ensure their pain and anger is recognised; to ensure their worries and concerns are listened to and addressed; to ensure their requests are met to the best of your ability. In order to truly stand in support of black students, you must also speak directly to fellow non-black students and staff to ensure they are aware of their own responsibilities to their black peers and colleagues."
You can also take local action
Demand justice for those who have suffered from systemic racism in the UK. Write to your local MP, demanding the reopening of the investigation, and justice, for Belly Mujinga. Issues such as these are especially local as well as national, demand that your MP takes notice. Isabella Yerassimou, a student at Girton, has provided us with a template for your local MP, which can be found here. You will need to change the details relevant to your MP/area, and include your address when you sign otherwise your MP can't reply. You can donate here.
#JusticeForBellyMujinga All of these steps are important. As for emailing Sadiq Khan, we all know how much that man wants to be re-elected next year so let's make him work for our vote. I was going to post the sample emails in the caption but instead, pls see the google doc link in my bio or DM me. #BlackLivesMatter #RIPBellyMujinga

Talk to your friends and family
For many of us, parents and older relatives who don't have the same access to social media might be more removed from this conversation than our generation is currently. Starting a conversation is crucial because it is their generation who are running our institutions, and whose silence is also complicit in allowing systematic racism to continue.
Without a doubt, opening up conversations about racism with family members will be easier for some than others. Anti-blackness in Asian communities is an issue that has been raised by several social awareness groups, and there are resources available to help people from Asian backgrounds navigate these conversations. For example, this document that specifically addresses anti-blackness in Vietnamese communities, this resource on tackling anti-blackness in South Asian communities, or this blog post, titled, 'How to tackle anti-blackness as a non-black PoC'.
Awkward and difficult conversations are worth the chance to open up another person's mindset. This view is shared by third-year English student, Jonathan Chan, who told The Cambridge Tab: "For many of us of Asian descent, whether British or from elsewhere, we are often the beneficiaries of white-adjacency, being held up as examples of obedient ethnic minorities to vilify those of Afro-Caribbean descent. These logics extend from Britain to many of its former colonies and inform the legacies of colourism that many of us in Asia live with today.
"It is, therefore, instructive to keep having conversations about the racial logics that govern the way we live our lives, especially when pernicious racial assumptions persist in our own families and systemic manifestations of racism continue to disadvantage our loved ones of different ethnic groups. The increasing African presence across Asia means that we often have black brothers and sisters in our own communities: resisting anti-blackness must make its way to our homes as well."
Mobilise your social media platforms
We all have different approaches to the way we use social media, and that's okay. But social media can be a key way to reach out to as many people as possible in the fight against racial discrimination, to stand in solidarity with POC, and to break your silence. Of course, the opposite of silence is not simply posting on your Instagram story. But if you have taken action by signing a petition, donating, or reading about systematic racism, then sharing that information through social media can help to encourage those around you to do the same.
Hello 🤍 I asked on my stories if anyone would be interested in some pointers on how people in the UK can respond to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and overwhelmingly the answer was yes. This is just a small collection of ways you can take action. I would like to make it clear that I'm not an authority on this issue and the people to turn to and follow are the people mentioned throughout the post. This is simply a way of summarising small steps you can take if you're feeling as useless as I am at the moment. We can always do more. These are some of the ways. EDIT: you can email the county office at [email protected] 🤍 EDIT 2: I have been alerted that Robin Diangelo is not a person to support. I apologise for including her in the list of recommended books and she will not be promoted on my page.
A post shared by Das 🦎 she/her (@das.penman) on May 28, 2020 at 7:04am PDT
The above Instagram post from @das.penman could be a good place to start when it comes to using your social media for social justice in this situation. It speaks specifically to us living in the UK who want to contribute to the conversation, listing some basic information about what you can read, where you can donate, and why speaking out is so important. Sharing posts that not only highlight injustices but point to effective action can be a useful way to use your voice.
Please remember – it's really not about what other people think. It's not about jumping on a trend (because Black Lives Matter is not a trend) and it's not about posting something just because you feel pressured to by your friends. You have the power and the privilege to say what it is you want to say in a way that means something to you. As the above Instagram post suggests, you may not always say the right thing, but that is not a reason to say nothing at all. The post also quotes American writer and journalist, Ijeoma Oluo, whose words can perhaps capture what it means to speak out against racism today, and continuously as we encounter it in our lives:
"The beauty of anti-racism is that you don't have to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you may find it, including in yourself. And that's the only way forward."
@amanda_abbington74 I searched for the words, you found them
A post shared by Lena Headey (@iamlenaheadey) on May 31, 2020 at 3:59am PDT
If all of this information seems overwhelming to you, that's okay. You can only hope to make a positive difference one step at a time, and these are some of the ways that you can do it. Whilst you might not be able to listen to every podcast, sign every petition or donate to every cause, you can only do your best with the resources you have, and we hope that you now use them in whatever capacity you can, to make a difference. We hope this article has given you a small insight into the ways that you can be acting from lockdown, helping to break the silence on racism and create a fairer, more equal society.

Tinga de Cerdo – Culinary Adventures, Inc.
Puebla is home to some of Mexico's most classic dishes, including mole poblano, chiles en nogada, and this simpler but singularly tasty tinga, with its complex layers of savory flavors. Ana Elena Martínez, a pastry chef and caterer, as well as my assistant in Mexico, uses it as a main course with arroz blanco or as a filling or topping for the countless antojitos that she makes for her clients. This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled and can be made up to 1 day in advance. Any leftovers can be reheated and used as a topping for tostadas or a filling for quesadillas. Serve with hot corn tortillas preferably freshly made, for making tacos, or spoon over Arroz Blanco.
FOR THE PORK: Pour 5 cups water into a saucepan, add the salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the pork, onion, and garlic and return the water to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. If the meat is not fully submerged, add more water as needed. Lower the heat to medium-low, add the bay leaf, and simmer, uncovered, until the pork istender, about 1 hour.
Remove from the heat, let cool slightly, then scoop the pork into a bowl and set aside. Strain the broth through a finemesh sieve and set aside. If cooking the pork in advance, pour 2 cups of the broth over the meat so that it does not dry out, then cover and refrigerate until needed.
until well browned, about 10 minutes. Spoon or drain off any excess fat, stir in the garlic, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another few minutes. Add the tomatoes, chiles chipotles and sauce, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. If the tomatoes are not very red and juicy, add the tomato paste and a little of the broth and stir well. Cover partially and cook, stirring frequently, for 30 minutes. Add some of the broth toward the end of cooking if needed to prevent the mixture from drying out.
While the sauce is simmering, shred the pork using your fingers or two forks. When the sauce is ready, stir in both sugars and the shredded pork and simmer for about 15 minutes so the meat will absorb the sweet and spicy flavor.
Scoop this stewlike pork into a warmed serving dish and garnish with the avocado slices.

Q: FireDAC - Show SQL after Macro Expantion I am trying to use Macros in FireDAC to Preprocess my SQL Queries.  I have a TADQuery object on a Data Module with the SQL set to something like:
Select * from MyTable
  join OtherTable on MyTable.Key = OtherTable.Key
&Where

Then in my code I do this:
WhereClause = 'stuff based on my form';
Query.MacroByName('Where').AsRaw := WhereClause;
Query.Open;

This has worked great for complicated queries because it lets me make sure my fields and join conditions are correct using the SQL Property editor.
My problem is when the SQL statements ends up invalid because of my where clause.  Is there any way to see the SQL after pre-processing that is going to be executed? Right now I am catching the FireDac errors and showing the SQL that is on EADDBEngineException object.  However that is still showing my original SQL with the macros.  If I can't get to it after the error happens is there anyway to force the Macro replacement to take place so I can look at the SQL in the debugger to help me see what is wrong.
If it matters I am connecting to a MS Access database with the goal of moving to SQL Server in the near future.

A: Apart from using Text property, to monitor what SQL is actually going to the database engine, consider using the "FDMonitor" FireDAC utility. According to the DokWiki pages (below):

*

*drop a TFDMoniRemoteClientLink component on your form,

*Set its Tracing property to True,

*Add the MonitorBy=Xxx connection definition parameter to your existing FDConnection component. You can do this in the IDE object inspector, by selecting your FDConnection component, expanding the Params property, and setting MonitorBy to mbRemote.

Note that the TFDMoniXxxxClientLink should come before TFDConnection in the data module or form creation order, so adjust this by right clicking on the form or data module, then Creation Order, and moving the TFDMoni.. component above the FDConnection.
Also, it's helpful in the options of the TFDMoniXxxxClientLink, to disable most of the events being recorded, otherwise all the data returned is also shown in the FireDAC monitor. Expand the EventKinds property, and turn all the event kinds off, except for perhaps ekConnConnect, ekConnPrepare, and ekCmdExecute.
Then open the FireDAC Monitor from the IDE, (Tools > FireDAC Monitor). Start your app only once the monitor is running. Double click on a trace event (in the Trace Output tab), and you will see the actual SQL sent to the database in the bottom pane.
It also seems likely that adding the EventType of ekConnPrepare as mentioned above, would show you when the query's Prepare is called, but I haven't played enough with it say for sure.
Please see the following pages on the DocWiki for more information:

A: (Just to remove this question from list of unanswered questions)
From comments:

Well, I've roughly checked what's happening there and I'm still not
  sure if calling Prepare (which is useless for you as I get) is the
  minimal requirement to trigger that preprocessing. Though, the
  preprocessed SQL, the one which is sent to the DBMS you can access
  through the Text property (quite uncommon name for such property). – TLama Feb

Mitchell Bell of the Prince Charles Secondary School Comets defends against Nakusp on Feb. 1.
PCSS senior boys place second in Creston basketball tourney
Feb. 7, 2014 1:00 p.m.
Two wins in three games gave the Prince Charles Secondary School Comets a runner-up finish in their home senior boys' basketball tournament on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.
Selkirk of Kimberley topped the four-team round-robin with a perfect 3-0 record, with PCSS winding up 2-1 on the strength of victories against Stanley Humphries of Castlegar and Nakusp.
Missing a pair of Grade 12 starters — Kieran Poznikoff due to injury and Riley Hills due to illness — forced coach Doug Dortman to give his bench more playing time, which should only benefit the team's depth during its stretch run to the playoffs.
"It was a positive outcome for the second-stringers," Dortman said. "We got to run our plays and assess where they played the best. It was good practice for them.
"Everybody on the floor scored in the last game, not just the starters."
A pair of Grade 11s promoted to replace Poznikoff and Hills among the starting five — Donovan Osterreicher and Mitchell Bell — were named players-of-the-game in Creston's first two matchups, including an opening one-point defeat to Kimberley in front of the student body Jan. 31.
PCSS couldn't hold a 14-point, third-quarter lead in that one, though it was clinging to a one-point edge with 20 seconds left on the clock and possession of the ball.
Dortman called a timeout to clarify the plan: inbound the ball and maintain possession until fouled or time expired, whichever came first. Instead, a shot was attempted not once but twice. Selkirk rebounded the second try with 15 seconds left and stormed down the court to sink the winning basket in a 63-62 upset.
"You can't write what I said. I couldn't believe it," Dortman said of the decisive turnover. "Hang onto the ball, pass it around a couple times and run the clock out. It's frustrating."
The Comets still had 3.5 seconds to work with but a potential buzzer-beater fell off the rim.
Osterreicher netted 12 points for PCSS.
The defeat snapped a six-game winning streak but the Comets promptly started a new one Feb. 1. Bell was player-of-the-game in an 83-22 blowout of Nakusp.
"He played basically the whole game. He rebounded well, blocked out well and had 10 points," said Dortman, who seized the chance to get more playing time for a couple of projected starters in the 2014-15 season, with most of this year's lineup due to graduate.
"(I'm) trying to get him and Donovan rounded up for next year too."
Jared Kuny netted 17 points in the first quarter alone on his way to a 28-point outing, including a handful of trademark three-pointers.
Nonetheless, the outcome could have been even more lopsided.
"We missed 42 shots in that game," Dortman said. "I bet 20 of them were in the paint."
Osterreicher added 15 points and hit double digits in steals.
Sunny Oler earned player-of-the-game honours in an 86-56 romp over Stanley Humphries, contributing numerous rebounds and adding a few baskets of his own.
The Comets expect to play a home-and-home series with Stanley Humphries plus a couple of games at Mt. Sentinel in South Slocan prior to their next tournament, Feb. 14 and 15 in Fernie, leading up to the East Kootenay AA championships in Golden the following weekend.
Golden, Kimberley, David Thompson of Invermere and Stanley Humphries (crossing over from the West Kootenay, which doesn't have any other AA teams this year) will be vying for a berth in the provincials.
The PCSS Blue Stars, meanwhile, hosted a senior girls' tournament on the weekend, dropping three games, including a narrow 43-41 decision to Nakusp. The Blue Stars also lost 67-33 to Selkirk and 66-28 to Bonners Ferry.
Courtney Valer and Emily Simpson were high scorers for PCSS.

School Selector
Real parent review: "Tanglin Trust School had everything we could have dreamed of and more"
by Esther Chung | May 13, 2022
Parent Hannah Richardson shares her top reasons for choosing to enrol her daughter at Tanglin Trust School.
Hannah Richardson recalls feeling really excited for her daughter, Ella, to join Tanglin Trust School after going on the school tour. "A school is more than its facilities, and meeting and seeing the teachers in action and how they were engaging with the children was truly inspiring," she shared with us. We speak to Hannah to find out what else makes Tanglin a great school for Ella…
Hello Hannah! Can you share with us the most important factors for you in choosing a school for Ella?
Firstly, having a sense of community and belonging for Ella is very important to us. Singapore is such a transient place, and after living here for over ten years, we know how friends come and go. We wanted a school that Ella would really feel part of and where she would feel a true sense of belonging and kinship. Tanglin achieved this through their Nursery classes being given names of insects: from Snails to Caterpillars to Bees and more. The children instantly have a sense of identity, belonging and community. This was later reinforced through the allocation of the House system, which will stay with the children throughout their entire school life in Tanglin: from Infant School to Senior School. The school will also ensure Ella's little sister will have the same House allocation, so our family will forever be Team Cameron! We love how this connects the children of all ages, and on House Fridays, she can see her fellow House members walking around the school, whether they be in Nursery or older years. She is part of something important and can find fellowship with other students throughout the school.
Community and family are important to Tanglin. Here we see Hannah's in-laws and Ella's little sister, who will be part of Team Cameron when she starts school at Tanglin.
We also like that Tanglin follows a British curriculum and provides diverse co-curricular activities in a nurturing environment. We wanted Ella to be exposed to things that can challenge her, help her grow, and discover what her interests are in a supportive, engaging environment that encourages her to explore her curiosity. Tanglin achieves all of these and more. Even though Ella is only in Nursery, she already has the opportunity to attend multiple co-curricular activities to feed her eager mind. This term alone, there are VIVO kids multi-sport on Mondays and Thursdays, Languages (including French and Mandarin) and Music on Thursdays, and Creative Drama and Musical Theatre on Fridays.
Last but not least, we also love the access to extraordinary facilities that Tanglin provides. The superb facilities that Ella will have access to include:
A Design and Technology Suite that has a CAD area for modelling ideas in 2D and 3D; and a CAM 'maker space' with a range of 3D printers, lasers, vinyl cutters, and thermoforming equipment.
A Media Suite that comes with film production hardware and software across two studio classrooms, plus a colour grading room, a sound design room, a photography studio, and a 40-seat cinema. It also has an open area that contains Apple workstations and a film theory library.
A huge range of musical instruments (they even have a harp!) which Ella and her fellow schoolmates can learn – starting as early as Junior School, where each student learns a string, wind or brass instrument as part of their music programme. Beyond the standard curriculum, individual instrumental lessons delivered by specialist tutors are available to children during the school day.
And what was the ultimate deciding factor that led you to choose Tanglin?
After visiting Tanglin for a school tour pre-COVID, it was a no brainer for us. We saw it had everything we could have dreamed of and more. We love that their class areas are open-plan with naturally calming decor. The open-ended play truly allows our little ones to use their imaginations and take themselves on learning experiences in a natural and exciting way. Straight from the start, they are taught that their learning experiences will not be fenced in, simply by not having closed doors on classrooms and instead having open, connected areas so they can see their friends in other classes. As a Mum, I really value the fact that Ella begins her school life knowing that she can experience so many things and can one day become anything she wants to be. It was somewhere we could see that she would blossom. The calibre of teachers is also exceptional, and we knew we would be giving our daughter the best education available in Singapore.
You mentioned having the British curriculum as an important factor in choosing a school for Ella. Can you tell us why the one at Tanglin appeals most to you?
Tanglin follows an enhanced version of the British Curriculum. Being English, this was really important to us so that, should we move back to England, moving our daughter's education would be easier. However, what really adds value is that they are the only school in Singapore to offer both A Level and the IB Diploma in the Sixth Form. We don't know what our future holds or what will be the right choice to make yet, so having that flexibility and the option to choose later reassured us that we would be able to choose the right path for Ella when the time comes. Another appeal is that, despite following a British Curriculum, Tanglin still embraces global aspects throughout the school, creating a truly international and cosmopolitan community and education.
Sounds like you found the perfect school for Ella! What does she like most about Tanglin?
In Ella's words, what she loves most in Nursery are the Water Tray, the Sand Pit, the Mud Kitchen, the Forest School Programme and Pedal Power. Pedal Power is enabling Ella to learn how to ride a balance bike in addition to her normal PE classes. The Forest School Programme, where Tanglin Trust have taken learning outside, immerses children in the outdoor world, learning about plants, insects and connecting with nature.
Ella had never been one who enjoys dirt or mess, and yet at Tanglin, through open play, she has developed such a love and appreciation for hands-on, messy, immersive play. It's wonderful to see her blossom and enjoy more aspects of play.
We also value the calibre of teachers and how much they add to Ella's learning experience. Ella utterly adores her teacher, Mr Pyatt, and her teaching assistants, Ms Farhana and Mrs Lee Lee.
How did the school make her feel welcome?
Each day, Ella is welcomed onto the school bus by our wonderful bus Aunty and a cheerful good morning from the bus driver. Mr Pyatt then greets her when she arrives in school, collects her from the bus, and brings her to class, so she feels welcomed already before it's even 9am.
What about the parents – what does Tanglin do in terms of building a community for parents?
Tanglin has a fantastic class rep system in place to help build a community amongst parents. This encourages parents to connect with one another and build on that wider Tanglin family from the get-go. The class reps organise a WhatsApp group for their class, parent socials, class parties, photo memory books, charitable activities, and arrange class gifts. Ella's Snails class has already organised and donated over 500 books to the charity, Books Beyond Borders, which helps to further educate our little ones about supporting the wider community and giving back.
We Snails parents (the Nursery 8 parents) regularly meet for coffee mornings and have drinks on alternate months, so we get to bond as parents. In addition, Tanglin arranges "Friends of Tanglin" meetups for new families joining Tanglin, regardless of year, where existing Tanglin families welcome new families to the Tanglin community. It has been great making friends with other parents, welcoming new families to Singapore, and getting to know one another.
One last question – what advice would you give other parents trying to choose a school for their kids?
Choose a school where the environment will spark curiosity, where the teachers will nurture inquisitive minds; a school where you see the smiles on the children's faces as they go about their day, where the staff are welcoming, and which has a community you, and not just your child, want to be part of.
Thank you, Hannah!

Counterfeit Paris & Other Fake Cities Built in the Name of Espionage
by Chris White November 21, 2014
Plaque marking a London zeppelin raid from 1915 (photograph by Christoph Braun/Wikimedia)
Whether it was the terrifying drone of a German heavy bomber or the near-silent hum of a zeppelin, since the beginning of WWI when bombs fell on civilian targets far from the Front, the threat of death from the skies has been very real during times of war. But the art of war is not just in the power of destruction, it is also in methods of confusion and subterfuge.
From January of 1915 until the end of the First World War, German dirigibles made around 51 bombing runs against Great Britain – which led to more than 500 deaths. Although these bombings are often focused on by historians, the Belgian cities of Leige and Antwerp were both bombed in 1914, as was Paris (although Paris received more than the standard incendiary bombs, they were also bombed with leaflets, demanding the French surrender). Originally the German Kaiser, Willhelm II, forbade bombing strikes against London, as the King and Queen of England were his close relatives (he was the eldest grandson of Queen Victoria), although on seeing the immense psychological damage these raids had on the British, the Kaiser complied with the advice of his generals, and London became a target.
"It is far better to face the bullets than to be killed at home by a bomb. Join the army at once and help to stop an air raid. God save the King" (1915 poster) (via Library of Congress)
At first there was little that could be done against the silent menace of dirigibles, as the ground-based anti-aircraft weapons of the time did not have the range required to hit them, and those weapons that could be mounted on interceptor-aircraft had little effect on the flying behemoths.
Alternate methods of defense were required.
Engineers in Britain and France were redirected from the efforts of the land-war, which in itself was a victory for the German High Command, as the damage caused by the dirigible raids was, in fact, negligible. Devices such as the acoustic mirror and incendiary bullets were invented, but it was perhaps the French who came up with the most elaborate solution: an artificial Paris, designed to be built on the city's northern outskirts.
The town of Maisons-Laffitte north of Paris, was the focal point of the French military's efforts to protect Paris from German bombing runs, although three more sites were planned, surrounding the capital. It sat on a stretch of the Seine that closely resembles the river as it passes through Paris, some 15 miles to the south. Built mostly of wood and canvas, a team of artists was hired to paint the city, and the electrical engineer Fernand Jacopozzi (famous for first lighting the Eiffel Tower), was brought in to make Faux Paris more appealing to the German bombers.
A map of Faux Paris (via JF Ptak Science Books, which has more images of the "Second Paris" on their site)
Although only a small fraction of the fake city was ever completed, it had running trains, as well as replicas of the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées. It had working lights (just dim enough to convince the Germans that the French had closed their curtains to disguise the city), and industrial sectors, with a translucent paint applied to the roofs to mimic dirty glass ceilings. The partly-built city was never attacked, and quickly disassembled at the end of the war. The Germans were, apparently, developing similar plans for their industrial bases, but the war ended before those plans could be put into action.
In the Second World War, German bombing raids on England intensified. Almost nightly, the Luftwaffe's bombers droned above London, and although the anti-aircraft weapons were much more powerful than during the First World War, so too were the aircraft. The Battle of Britain raged in the skies, with more than 90,000 civilian casualties. The British authorities needed to not only protect their military assets, but also to protect the people from German bombings. They borrowed the plans of the French, whether deliberately or through convergent evolution.
Around the United Kingdom, various potential targets were identified, focused primarily on military hardware, with false tanks, aircraft, and factories constructed to fool German bombing raids. After the bombing of Coventry, however, they expanded this project with the construction of Q-sites.
Q-sites were built within four miles of potential target cities, and were laid out to simulate blacked-out towns, with fires being lit in the Q-sites after the first wave of bombs were dropped on the target towns. It is estimated that more than 900 tons of munitions were wasted on these sites. The concept of blacking-out towns across Britain saved countless lives, as in the days before reliable aircraft navigation aids and techniques, pilots and their crew needed to see their targets or local landmarks. In fact, some of the most lethal German pilots were those who had studied or holidayed in Britain before the war, as they knew both the locations of culturally important sites, and the potential psychological damage that could be inflicted through longterm bombing these places.
It wasn't only the British who got caught up in the building of fake towns After the raid on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, industrial sites along the West Coast were disguised as non-military sites. Boeing's B17 Bomber factory in Seattle, for instance, was covered with 26 acres of suburban streets, such as the charmingly named Synthetic Street. Actors were hired to walk on the rooftop, hanging laundry, and engaging in other wholesome 1930s behaviors. (Photographs can be found here.)

During the Second World War, the Allies deployed the so-called Ghost Army to France in the wake of the D-Day invasion. The Ghost Army (or, officially, the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops) was an Allied unit that moved through France sowing misinformation and generally confusing the enemy. Made up primarily of actors, artists, engineers, and advertisers, they operated near to enemy lines, and deployed inflatable tanks, dummy airfields, troop emplacements, and artillery formations. Alongside these visual props were recordings of troops and vehicles rumbling, and the Ghost Army filled the airwaves with false radio chatter, as well as imitating other Allied units' insignia and ranks to further deceive the Germans.
Even earlier in the war, particularly in North Africa, British forces employed deception as a tactic against the famous General Rommel, building fake railway stations and supply columns — these efforts led directly to Operations Bodyguard, Titanic, and Glimmer, which in turn convinced the German military that the Normandy landings were the deception, and diverted a significant portion of German manpower away from the landing sites at Normandy for a staggering seven weeks.

During the Vietnam War, fought from the early 1960s until the fall of Saigon in 1973, the Viet Cong were also known to make use of artificial villages to protect their tunnel complexes, and false tunnels, to distract American and Australian soldiers and consume valuable operations time. These tunnel complexes could be, well, incredibly complex, with some of the larger ones not only featuring bunkers and weapons depots, but also political re-education schools, command centers, hospitals, and even theaters (for the production of politically educational plays, no doubt.) The most elaborate of these tunnel systems ran for miles, and often needed to be flushed out by the so-called "tunnel rats," men who were often the physically smallest soldiers in their units, who crawled through the underground passages armed with only pistols and flashlights.
Although WWI saw the first mass production of artificial cities to confuse the enemy, there are also the (alleged) historical example of Grigory Potemkin, who built artificial villages in the 18th century to fool his Empress. After the Russian conquest of Crimea in the 1780s, Tsarina Catherine the Great appointed Potemkin as the region's governor, tasked with rebuilding the shattered countryside. Although the story may be apocryphal, it is said that Potemkin's men assembled villages along the river where Catherine's barge drifted, and acted out the roles of peasants until the Tsarina passed along. The village would be quickly disassembled, and rebuilt further downstream to continue the deception.
North Korea's Kijong-dong, aka "Propaganda Village" (photograph by Don Sutherland, U.S. Air Force)
Possibly the most famous "Potemkin village" in the world is that of Kijong-dong, in North Korea, which, according to the North Korean government, is home to a collective-farm, worked by 200 families, as well as the world's third largest flagpole(!). The rest of the world disagrees, and observation through telescopic lenses reveals that the city is uninhabited, and that none of the buildings are anything more than concrete shells, with automated lighting systems and cultivated fields around the site striving to add to the illusion.
In 2010, it was reported that the Russian government had purchased a large number of inflatable planes and tanks, in order to disguise the deployment of its military hardware. Even though we live now in a world where it seems that everything is observed and under question, at least two countries think we can still be fooled through such simple deceptions.

Q: Angular project production build has problem importing google fonts I have an angular project built on latest version 8.2.9. Google fonts works perfectly while on the test environment using ng serve. However when I publish the project on the production server the fonts are not loaded.
style.scss
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:200,600');
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons');

Due to the above mentioned problem the material icons doesn't loads as shown in the image.
However, when I move the above fonts loading statement from global style style.scss to app.component.scss. It works fine! Any reason why it is not working on the global style? I found something similar to this issue here ng build/serve --prod ignores scss url imports

A: Simply include google fonts into index.html in <head> tag instead of any scss or css file.
It will also work for production build.

pull me back up. A happy Ennis and Jack always does.
But most of all, you're my best friend.
You'll still be everything I need.
I do hope you are feeling better, you sure made me feel good, just like you always do with your art.
Beautiful drawing of them holding hands!!!
Hi Caroline, Thank you I do feel better, glad you like the drawings. Hope you doing well.
Ahh, its the boys babe and a lovely voice, with out them it would be back to stick figures and doodling. Glad you like them, feel free to use what you like.
Sketching Jack and Ennis always helps me lift my spirits having friends enjoy it too makes all the difference in the world.
The dozy embrace could fit so many stories about these two men, I could see it with "Looking Back" Ennis perhaps recalling just such an embrace. In canon, it was after all Jack looking back at the embrace the last time they saw each other. It broke my heart and still does each time I see the young Jack and then the older Jack so devastatingly sad watching Ennis leave.
Thank you Jane, and I hope all is going well with you too.
tut mir leid, zu lesen, dass es dir nicht gut ging und ich hoffe, dass es nun wieder bergauf geht! Danke für die obigen schönen, Bilder besonders das von den beiden Händen, die sich halten, denn so ein Bild habe ich schon regelrecht vermisst.
Es ist schon besser. Danke. Mein man und ich sind am strand spazierwn gegangen um die Sonne zu fotografieren wenn sie runter ging es war ein schoener Abend. Zwei Menner sassen da auf einem grossem Stein und ihre Hande alle 4 lagen aufeinander, nicht wie ich es gezeichnet hab aber so fiel liebe war in die hande und in deren Gesichter. Ich dachte auf Ennis und Jack und auf Paare die noch immer in Angst leben und nicht zeigen koennen was die wirklichkeit ist, und wird immer so sein. Es hat mich zu traenen gebracht. Fuer die beiden war ich froh, fuer die andern so wie Ennis und Jack bin ich sehr traurich.
Thank you Loreen, I missed you, hope you are doing alright.
Hearing the dreamy voice and beautiful lyrics and my imagination takes over, I'm so pleased you like it.

Choosing the best toner for acne prone skin, though often overlooked, is just as much essential as any product can get for acne prone skin.
Toners are often used as an oil-control product, but there is much more to its features than just reducing the excess oil from the skin.
Toners act to remove any dirt or residue from makeup, clogging the pores and most importantly works to balance the pH of skin, controlling the primary cause of breakouts.
Acne prone skin, unlike normal skin, is very sensitive to fragrances, certain chemicals, and dyes and tends to be oilier than normal skin.
So, it is important to be cautious with the products and their ingredients used for such skin types.
The best toner for acne should, therefore, have the best ingredients that would exfoliate the skin, reduce inflammation, and help balance the skin's natural oil. Formulas that are free from strong chemicals and alcohol would work the best.
A list of chemical exfoliants and extracts and essential oils that can nourish the skin can be looked for on the labels.
It is important to read the labels and go through the list of ingredients and based on that choose the toner that would work the best for you.
Read on to see the most common chemicals and extracts to look for in a toner that would work the best for acne prone skin.
This combination works best to help the skin get rid of the dirt clogging the pores by penetrating deep into the skin pores and removing makeup or any residue.
These acids are mild to the skin in the formulations and act as detoxifying agents, reducing the chances of inflammation, and thus preventing further breakouts.
If you wish to use products that are more natural, look for this ingredient in the toner. It is 100% organic and is potent enough to fight acne.
Other natural ingredients with similar action include cedar wood oil which has antiseptic properties, anti-inflammatory lavender and most importantly, tea tree oil, which has long been used in naturally based skin products and is a strong acne-fighting oil.
A toner with a combination of these ingredients will prove to be very useful for severe acne problems.
These extracts are natural and are sure to even your skin, nourishing it with Vitamin E and preventing acne breakouts.
This is an active ingredient which is the best suited for sensitive skin as it can clear the skin pores off dirt and removes dead skin cells. It acts to promote skin-cell turnover, fading the old acne scars, and rejuvenates the skin.
Ginseng and its antioxidant properties are widely known, and it has been in use in Chinese traditional medicine for thousands of years.
It has proved to be effective against acne as it acts as an antioxidant to reduce inflammatory chemicals found to be associated with causing acne.
Another important ingredient is Chamomile, which too has proven antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-irritant properties. Ginseng and Chamomile in combination with Rose extracts are another formulae that not only is capable of reducing acne but at the same time keeps the skin moisturized and counters the drying effect of other acne products.
Keeping all this under consideration, choose the best toner against acne and the one that works the best for you.

The Artistry Of...
Lionel Loueke speaks the languages of music and soul
By John Devenish
Lionel Loueke
Jean-Baptiste Millot
The Artistry of… Lionel Loueke
He speaks with his guitar. His is a dual language: the language of music and the language of the soul. They are so intertwined that the delivery comes as if a singular artistic share.
The imprint of his music-making is a sensitively presented signature. He is a "thinking in every moment" kind of player. There's a consciousness that leaves little to chance but, at the same time, lets the sensibilities of creativity free to sound with liberty and sonic adventure.
There is always beauty in Loueke's music. Musical decisions in a line or harmonic progression are made with the ears and ideas in the moment of the connections from one note to another. It is about how to best communicate and how to allow the communication to be received by the ear — wrapped sometimes with a bit of a surprise, a bit of whimsy, some unexpected turn of phrase and phrasing and with a cajoling familiarity.
Loueke's language is a blended one; it is the language of music and soul. Blended, it is simply Loueke beautiful.
About The Artistry of…
The Artistry of… is a weekly series that reflects on the passion and essence of an artist. It airs Wednesday evenings on Dinner Jazz with John Devenish, made possible with the support of Yamaha Canada.

Glamping | Turning my world upside down!
You may have heard the term Glamping, camping in a glamourous camper, often an older vehicle that's been restored to what the owner thinks vintage glamour should look like. We have our own vintage campervan, aka Roadie, which is in need of a spruce up.
Roadie needs braces to fix its crooked smile.
Do bodywork and repaint the exterior to the original white. We hope to add some sort of exterior decoration later but haven't found anything we like so far.
Replace the curtains with a more attractive fabric, something that will minimize the old rose colour of the upholstery.
Change to the vinyl flooring to a wood look vinyl plank.
Paint the wood cabinets to a lighter colour to lighten up the interior.
Improve the storage in the closet/water closet area so my clothes stops falling out.
Make sure the heater works for next winter's trip south through the higher elevations (see my post of visiting the Grand Canyon where it was -6C that night).
Here's an inside view showing the rose curtains & upholstery. Nice stay at a winery in Indiana with a huge storm raging outside. It was Canada Day, we had our own fireworks courtesy of Mother Nature.
I've been looking for just the right fabric to use on the curtains and thought I found a great floral that reminded me of drapes in the 50s. The colours work well with the existing grey and rose upholstery and the plum carpet. I thought I could just buy 2 panels of drapery and add the fabric to the existing curtains. That way I don't have to change out the hardware and the extra layer would act as additional darkening panels for late morning sleep-ins.
Since I was changing out the curtains, I also bought a nice set of sheets to make a new duvet cover for our bed. The only thing left to do was to pick out a wall colour once we found the flooring we wanted. Of course a trip to the local Home Depot and Rona did not yield any flooring we liked. The stuff I liked was all sold out. And Leon doesn't do colours.
Today I finally got a chance to start measuring and cutting the drape fabric. I was hoping to have the job done by the end of the day so I can put the panels back up in preparation for a short trip we have coming up next week. Alas, I didn't measure or estimate very well. The panels require much wider fabric that I bought. And I don't have nearly enough of it! You know the old saying, measure twice, cut once. I'm changing that to measure twice, buy once.
I guess a trip to the fabric store is in order. I'll update you as I make more progress on this "little" project.
Thanks! Some of the rigs we saw last winter were sooooooo long! I can't imagine moving any of them.

Bangladesh's government will distribute financial compensation and mementos on Sunday to relatives of hostages killed in an attack at a Dhaka café in July 2016, the worst terrorist act in the nation's history, home ministry officials said.
They said the families of 19 of the 20 hostages who were slain at the Holey Artisan Bakery were to receive 15,000 euros (1.5 million taka or U.S. $18,400) as compensation. The government contacted the families of all civilian victims of the overnight siege.
"The Honorable Home Minister will hand over the bank checks and crests [mementos] at the ceremony at the Rajarbagh police line auditorium," Shamsur Rahman, an additional secretary of the home ministry, told BenarNews.
"The family members of one Japanese victim declined to take the financial honorarium," Rahman said, adding that family members of three Bangladeshi victims and one Indian national would attend the ceremony.
The Bangladeshi and Indian survivors plan to donate the money to a foundation created in memory of the victims of the attack, which took place on July 1-2, 2016, according to the home ministry.
"Hopefully I will attend. This is good news that the government has not forgotten the Holey Artisan café attack. We do not want to see any terrorist attacks. No parent should lose their children in this way," a relative of a Bangladeshi victim told BenarNews on condition of anonymity.
Rahman said the government decided this was the proper way to honor the victims.
"You cannot compensate a death, so we call it a financial honorarium. The purpose of the ceremony is to give the message to the world that Bangladesh has not forgotten the Holey Artisan attack," he said.
In an interview with BenarNews on the eve of the first anniversary of the café attack, Bangladeshi Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal described it as unprecedented.
"A massacre of this magnitude never happened in our country," he said.
On the evening of July 1, 2016 – a Friday – five militants armed with AK-22 rifles, grenade and machetes, stormed the upscale café in Dhaka's diplomatic zone, took diners hostages and killed 20 people – nine Italians, seven Japanese, one Indian and three Bangladeshis. In all, 29 people died including two police officers, two café workers and the militants.
The gunmen were linked to Neo-JMB, an offshoot of the militant group Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB).
Unlike JMB, Neo-JMB is known to subscribe to Islamic State's (IS) hardline ideology. Before commandos brought an end to the attack, IS media released photos of the attackers calling them IS "soldiers" and disclosing that they had killed 20 people inside the café.
Minister Khan and other government officials have since denied that IS has a presence in Bangladesh and attributed the attack to home-grown militants.
Meanwhile, police have not finished their investigation into the attack, lead officer Humayun Kabir told BenarNews.
Previously, Monirul Islam, chief of counter terrorism and transnational unit of police, told journalists that the report could be submitted to the court by the end of 2018.
Investigators have detected 22 suspects linked to the attack. Of those, 13 have been killed in encounters with the law enforcement agencies, six are in jail and three are fugitives.
One man, North South University professor Hasnat Karim, a Bangladesh-born British citizen, was identified as a suspect. He was the first to be taken into custody in connection with the terrorist siege. Officers alleged he was linked to the attack because he was able to leave.
Karim, who has proclaimed his innocence and said he was at the café with his wife and two daughters to celebrate a birthday on the night of the attack, has been in police custody since shortly after the siege was broken.

Quick Takes: Trump Gives White Supremacists a Pass
* Yesterday I noted that the Trump administration plans to refocus the program, "Countering Violent Extremism" and rename it "Countering Radical Islamic Extremism," excluding attempts to target other groups like white supremacists. The president validated that focus by tweeting this after a man wielding a knife at police officers was shot outside the Louve in Paris:
A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2017
As Chris Hayes points out, his silence speaks more loudly than his words.
Not *one word* about the Muslims slaughtered in their house of worship by a white supremacist Trump fan. Not one. https://t.co/IO3Bp3N71l

* Presidential approval ratings after two weeks. Sad!
* Not only did the Trump administration botch the raid in Yemen last weekend. They botched an attempt to justify it.
The video clips that the U.S. military said were evidence of the success of last week's raid on an Al Qaeda compound in Yemen have one major problem, the Pentagon acknowledged Friday: They have been on the internet for a decade.
The U.S. Central Command, which posted the video clips, pulled them from the Pentagon's video website after it was discovered they had been posted in 2007 and were still online on the SITE Intelligence Group website.
The videos and the accompanying CENTCOM statement — which stated the clips were "a small sample of the sort of intelligence information that was obtained in the site exploitation mission" — were the latest effort from the Trump administration to defend the raid on Al Qaeda's Yemen offshoot in which one Navy SEAL was killed and civilian casualties were reported.
* Remember the yuuuuge scandal about voter fraud that was used to prop up Trump's damaged ego because he lost the popular vote? Yeah…nevermind.
A full week has passed since President Donald Trump said he would sign an executive order opening a Justice Department investigation into his unsubstantiated claim that millions of people voted illegally in November.
The Oval Office signing was abruptly canceled last Thursday and never rescheduled. The White House hasn't talked about it since. The President has moved on to other subjects.
* Steve Waldman explains how Trump's promise to repeal the Johnson Amendment would corrupt the pulpit.
…this would likely create a huge new loophole in the campaign finance system. The donations we make to political candidates are not now tax-deductible. But if this provision is repealed, you could make a tax-deductible contribution to a church (or other charity) that is campaigning for a political candidate.
Houses of worship and other charities could become unregulated vessels for campaign contributions, which taxpayers would then have to partly underwrite because they were deductible. It would be a disaster for our political system, already reeking of corruption.
* On a brighter note, it looks like Silicon Valley is joining the resistance.
A collection of Silicon Valley executives, engineers and activists are quietly plotting a progressive counterattack against President Donald Trump, a sign of the industry's growing anger at his election victory and actions on immigration.
Through a new organization tentatively called Win the Future, or WTF, the likes of LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Zynga founder Mark Pincus are teaming up with former Sierra Club President Adam Werbach to connect political organizers and shore up progressive candidates and causes ahead of the 2018 midterm and 2020 presidential elections, according to three sources familiar with the plan.
* Finally, I don't know about you, but I need some music to take me into the weekend.

In Psychic Biker Meets Extreme Ghost Hunter, Paul Green and Stephen Lambert have undertaken the unenviable task of spending many days and nights searching for something, which, for the most of us, is not part of everyday life experience. In this book they take a candid look at the world of ghost hunting and the paranormal. They also reveal their thoughts on ghosts and hauntings, as they willingly seek to experience the things most people would run from in terror. All the locations are extreme and often previously un-examined. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail but their findings are told exactly as it is...No frills! No airs! and no lies. You have been warned! Paul Green - The Psychic Biker, is unique in the psychic world, a gifted medium and psychic, who was once an ardent sceptic. A hard-core, no-nonsense biker, who would look more at home on the door of a nightclub than offering his services as an empathetic, psychic medium. Make no mistake, Paul is opinionated and brutally honest, yet he is respected by all who know him, or as he would describe himself: "Attitude with Empathy". Stephen Lambert - Extreme Ghost Hunter, has vast experience investigating the paranormal.
Stephen has spent countless dark hours at haunted locations working alone on paranormal vigils and he has led teams of other paranormal investigators all over the British Isles. He is a firm believer in taking ghost hunting back to the basics, with a hard-line outlook on seeking out the truth within the previously unexplained. Stephen is also a talented historian which allows him to combine the results of his investigations with valuable academic research.
