Discovery Channel wanted to celebrate and create engagement around its 30th anniversary of Shark Week. To bring this to life, we not only wanted to raise awareness about Shark Week but also the importance of protecting shark habitats around the world, so we designed and created shark art installations out of the very materials that typically harm these creatures—upcycled scrap wood, plastic bottles, aluminum cans and cardboard waste. Alongside the Shark Park, the Discovery Channel and the Santa Monica community came out to help keep shark habitats safe with a cleanup effort at the local beaches removing thousands of pounds of trash in a single day. Plus over the weekend, more than 15,000 fans visited the experience, generating thousands of posts on social media helping to make Shark Week the number three trending topic on Twitter prior to air.

Government reshuffle in Armenia
October 21st, 2016, The CACI Analyst
Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan has reshuffled the government only months before the general elections, after which the presidential system will be replaced with a parliamentary one. The new appointments seemingly aim to ensure the continued rule of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) after next year's elections. The current foreign policy course based on loyalty to Russia and its Eurasian project will likely remain unchanged, despite its dire economic consequences.
BACKGROUND: Speculations about the possible resignation of Armenia's Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan began several months ago. However, President Sargsyan likely took the principal decision after the armed attack in July on a police compound in Yerevan, which a group of 31 armed men captured and kept under control for two weeks before surrendering on July 31. On August 1, Sargsyan stated that he would form a government of "national unity." Abrahamyan formally notified the president about his resignation on September 8. He remains deputy chair of the RPA.
On September 13 the National Assembly, upon the president's request, voted in favor of Karen Karapetyan as the new prime minister. Karapetyan briefly served as mayor of Yerevan in 2010-2011. Before his 10-month term, he had worked as chief executive of the Armenian subsidiary of Russian natural gas producer, Gazprom. Karapetyan has continued his career with Gazprom since 2011. Karapetyan's background has led some analysts to suggest that his new appointment was particularly approved by Moscow as an additional guarantee against a possible change of foreign policy.
Instead of the majority of ministers in the previous cabinet, who have served in several cabinets while entertaining strong connections with oligarchic structures, Karapetyan appointed a number of newcomers unknown to the public, many of whom cannot even be located via online search engines.
Journalistic investigations show that most of new cabinet members have had connections with Russian commercial structures. In addition, Karapetyan's successor at the post of chief executive of Gazprom Armenia, Vardan Harutyunyan, was appointed the director of the State Revenues Service on October 11.
President Sargsyan practically gave Karapetyan a free hand concerning appointments to posts in the new cabinet. Consequentially, Karapetyan has been able to change almost the entire cabinet with the exception of appointments that remain the president's prerogative. Thus, the head of the police and the ministers of national security and foreign affairs remained on their posts; President Sargsyan also appointed the head of the presidential staff, Vigen Sargsyan, as the new minister of defense.
IMPLICATIONS: Forming a new government about half a year before the parliamentary elections could be an attempt to placate the public, as disappointment with the previous government was a major reason for the radicalization of protests. Following the July attack on the police compound, a number of people gathered nearby, despite several attempts by the police to disperse them. These have included two police attacks on a nearby neighborhood, leaving over a hundred wounded, and daily arrests of hundreds of protesters. Forming a new cabinet with members who were not previously state servants and therefore less likely to have been involved in corrupt practices and misappropriation of public funds, could be useful. Some observers suggest that unless Karapetyan's cabinet demonstrates at least some achievements, a new mass protest campaign is inevitable.
However, just before Karapetyan's appointment, the tax code was amended with potentially unfavorable outcomes for small and medium businesses. Also, remittances from Armenians working in Russia – the country's main source of hard currency – are expected to decline further. Thus, the prospects for economic improvement are bleak. Karapetyan is also hardly in a position to change the structure of governance dominated by oligarchs, whose possessions are safe as long as they remain loyal to the president, similarly to the Russian model. Any attempt to change the oligarchic, monopolistic economic structure, or to tax the oligarchs' businesses could seriously destabilize the whole structure.
Karapetyan's and some of his appointees' connections with Gazprom remain an issue of public concern. Just days before Abrahamyan's resignation, it was announced that the Yerevan thermoelectric plant had accumulated a debt amounting to US$ 52 million for natural gas supplied by Gazprom Armenia – the monopolist gas supplier in which Gazprom owns 100 percent of the shares. It may be expected that another "property for debt" deal is in the making. The largest, and most scandalous, previous deals of this kind took place in 2013, when Gazprom acquired the remaining 20 percent of the shares in Armenia's gas distribution network that had until then been state property. The government then explained that the handover was necessitated by a debt of over US$ 300 million that had been accumulated since 2011. During the parliamentary debates, it turned out that cabinet members had not been aware of this debt, as minister-chancellor Vacheh Gabrielyan, who until April 2013 had been the minister of finance, admitted in a Radio Liberty interview. Gabrielyan, who was later promoted to deputy prime minister, is of the few officials who remained on his post in Karapetyan's newly appointed cabinet.
The appointment of Vigen Sargsyan, the president's loyal aide, as the new minister of defense, was unexpected. Sargsyan's appointment, as well as the reconfirmation of Eduard Nalbandyan as the minister of foreign affairs, occurred on October 5 – much later than the other cabinet appointments. In his first public statement Sargsyan, educated in the U.S., demanded a greater role for the army in social and economic life, claiming that the army should turn "from being a very heavy burden on the state and economy into a leader and locomotive," and that "the entire population should have many scientific, economic, industrial or other projects related to the army." It remains to be seen whether Sargsyan's statement was only lip service to the "nation-army" concept that some politicians have long promoted, but particularly after the heaviest exchange of fire along the entire line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh on April 2-5, or signals a possible redistribution of assets. A "patriotic" agenda could be a convenient pretext for redistribution, as it would be less fervently opposed. In any case, the fundamental structure of the oligarchy can hardly be touched.
CONCLUSIONS: Last year's constitutional amendments will probably secure the RPA's hold on power after the general elections in 2017, when the presidential system will be replaced with a parliamentary one (see the 12/29/15 Issue of the CACI Analyst). Against this backdrop, and given President Sargsyan's previous political course, he would be unlikely to change the cabinet shortly before the elections if the newly appointed prime minister could potentially become a strong contender within the party.
From this point of view, Karapetyan's appointment seems quite logical, as he has no political base of his own and no serious political ambitions in Armenia, and will hardly run for election. He has no previous political status to defend and it would therefore be safe to blame him for economic hardship and failure to reform. He could easily return to Russia once again, like he did in 2011 after resigning as mayor of Yerevan overnight and immediately taking a job with Gazprom in Moscow.
Therefore, the suggestions that Karapetyan's appointment will give Moscow additional leverage are probably incorrect. In this regard, keeping Nalbandyan, whose dismissal was long awaited by the expert community and would be welcomed by the political opposition, as the minister of foreign affairs is a more important signal of Armenia's consistency in foreign policy and continuing allegiance to Russia.

Murder or suicide? – Pakistani worker's death due to non-payment of wages
How is it possible for an employer who is not a slave master to get away without paying his worker for so many months?
Rani Rasiah
Get Views
A young man ended his life. He didn't die because of natural causes; he didn't die in an accident, and he wasn't killed by Covid.
He died because he was not paid his wages. He made this very clear in his video in which he showed very clearly who his employer was. The video showed the contrast and class contradiction of the two worlds, the worker's and his bosses'.
We are told that the employer has now paid up the backdated wages and sent the body back with some so-called 'goodwill money', no doubt to keep them silent and maintain the peace. Should the story end here?
Can we keep silent? Non-payment of wages is a violation of the right to livelihood – under Article 5 of the Federal Constitution. In this case, a life has been lost due to criminal violation. Serious action must be taken by the authorities.
Pakistani worker Shahzad Ahmad hanged himself because his employer hadn't paid his wages for five months. Earlier, the worker had released a surreal video of himself making known his decision to end his life as a way out of his desperate financial situation.
There are many questions that demand answers from the government.
Migrant workers are here to earn a living to support their families back home and pay up debts incurred, much of it due to greedy middlemen along their journey here. With low incomes, there are no savings to fall back on even for a month.

Imagine the stress on a worker who has to go without pay for five months at a stretch. No amount of counseling persuading him to live on, nothing could have helped this worker: only his wages would have saved him.

How is it possible for an employer who is not a slave master to get away without paying his worker for so many months? Non-payment of wages is a rampant occurrence even when the government is the paymaster, as in the case of school contract workers.
But despite it being frequently highlighted, such non-payment hasn't got the serious attention it needs. At most employers get away with a slap on the wrist, resulting in them getting away and then repeating the offence. Now that a life has been lost due to poor enforcement by human resources agencies, will the Ministry of Human Resources take it more seriously?
A common reaction to this incident will be why the worker had to resort to such an extreme measure instead of filing a complaint at the Labour Office. Do workers have the right to take their complaints to the Labour Office? Sadly, this right exists only on paper; in reality, those who complain face victimisation and dismissal.This young Pakistani worker is a victim of this unprotected avenue to justice.
The government in its bid to maintain its pro-business stand cannot allow workers to be trampled on in a situation where enforcement is lax, and workers cannot air their grievances.
This tragic incident marks a new low in the way our migrant workers are managed in Malaysia. This will not get better unless the government adopts the recommendations proposed in reports such as that of the independent committee on the management of foreign workers, and the MWR2R report "Towards a Comprehensive National Policy on Labour Migration in Malaysia".

It is not acceptable that the government continues to leave this sector unregulated and up to the whims and discretion of employers. Despite the strident demands for migrant workers to prevent their employers' businesses from collapsing, due respect for the rights of the migrant workforce is sorely lacking among employers.
The Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) demands that the government takes serious and immediate action to stop the non-payment of wages, without giving the excuse of a shortage of labour inspectors. The PSM also demands that investigation papers be opened on the employer for contributing to and abetting the suicide by the Pakistani worker.

Legal Aid still burdened by rush of asylum seekers
By: Katie May | Posted: 7:00 PM CST Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2019
Two winters ago, undeterred by frigid temperatures, the threat of frostbite or uncertainty for their future, waves of asylum seekers walked across the U.S. border into Manitoba. They crossed the border in unprecedented numbers, many of them members of Minnesota's Somali community who headed north after U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a so-called ban on migrants from Muslim countries.
This article was published 19/2/2019 (1066 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Two years later, Manitoba's legal community is still feeling the ripple effects of those refugee claims -- and some of those refugee claimants could still be in limbo.
The influx of asylum seekers disproportionately affected Manitoba -- this province saw a 493 per cent increase in asylum claims processed by the Canada Border Services Agency in 2017 over the previous year, compared to a 119 per cent increase in Quebec -- and it has since slowed to a trickle. Only one asylum seeker was intercepted by RCMP in Manitoba so far this year.
Legal Aid Manitoba has described the influx in asylum seekers and their resulting refugee claims as one of its most "significant pressures." In its most recent annual report, published in November 2018, Legal Aid cited a 305 per cent increase in the number of immigration and refugee applications it received in 2016-2017. That number is now on the decline, but lawyers have traced that spike in requests for legal help back to the "Trump effect."
"I don't see any other cause for this precipitous movement other than the Trump effect," said senior Winnipeg immigration lawyer David Matas, former chair of the Canadian Bar Association's immigration law section. Even after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted a welcoming message to prospective refugees in late January 2017, it wasn't Trudeau's comments Matas's clients asked about -- it was Trump's.
As a result, the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada was swamped with refugee claimants. The board pushed back its own deadlines because of the unprecedented influx of claims, no longer able to hold hearings within 60 days or decide appeals within 90 days. But, Matas said, the board enforced existing timelines for refugee claimants and their lawyers. In the midst of a spike in claims that put a strain on the handful of lawyers in Manitoba who specialize in refugee hearings, Matas said the board would refuse to grant time extensions and would dismiss claims because of missed timelines.
"Many of these people who've been rushed through the system unfairly are still around and still trying to deal with their cases," he said. "In my view, we need to unravel all of the rush that occurred, at least for the people that still are here, do things in a proper, orderly fashion."
JOHN WOODS / THE CANADIAN PRESS FILES
Migrants from Somalia cross into Canada illegally from the United States near Emerson, Man. in February, 2017.
Some of those people, many of whom are of Somali origin, have remained in Canada without status even though their claims were denied, Matas said, and some are awaiting appeals from the Federal Court.
Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada spokesperson Melissa Anderson said Tuesday she hadn't heard any such concerns. The board couldn't provide Manitoba-specific statistics on the number of claims that have been resolved, nor any data on the number dismissed due to time constraints. There's currently a 24-month wait for new hearings, and Anderson said it's up to individual adjudicators to decide whether to grant time extensions.
"I'm certainly aware that everybody involved in the system is under a lot of pressure right now due to the volume of claims. That includes the IRB, and there are many initiatives in place to get more claims resolved," Anderson said, adding the IRB no longer requires hearings for certain refugee claims that are not complex. The board hasn't made a decision on a Legal Aid Manitoba proposal that suggested allowing non-lawyers to be paid to prepare the refugee claim forms.
Legal Aid Manitoba chairman Tim Valgardson said the government-funded organization is "making it work" with a limited budget as immigration and refugee cases start to decrease. Legal Aid handled 624 of those cases as of Feb. 15, down from its peak of 939 cases the previous fiscal year.
"Of course we're still feeling the effects of it," he said of the influx. "So it's still a significant amount of pressure on Legal Aid and Legal Aid's budget."
The Canada Border Services Agency, which has been active in handling claims at the Emerson, Man., border crossing, declined an interview request. In a statement, CBSA said officers at the Emerson port are well-trained and experienced in handling asylum seekers.
In the meantime, Matas said Manitoba has been "overwhelmed and then overlooked" by the institutions that process refugee claims for the government -- including the IRB, which doesn't have a Manitoba office.
"The system has reacted unevenly. There's certainly been delays in processing, but the delays have been basically to convenience the administrators and not to address the problems that the claimants themselves face because of the influx," he said.
"We haven't given the welcome we really are capable of and should because of these tight deadlines and the inflexibility of dealing with them and the unwillingness to face the reality of the situation in dealing with the numbers that we have."

"What Happened at Vatican II" by John W. O'Malley
If you were catechized before the 1960's, the term "ecumenical council" probably did not come up in your texts or your classroom discussions. The last one prior to 1962's Vatican II was, appropriately enough, Vatican I [1868-1870]. Vatican I was the first council conducted in St. Peter's, and fittingly so, as the fathers in attendance voted for the promulgation of the doctrine of infallibility of the pope when he solemnly teachers on matters of faith and morals. Prior to Vatican I, some ecumenical councils were conducted in St. John of the Lateran Hill Cathedral in Rome, Christianity's mother church for a millennium until the sixteenth century construction of St. Peter's and the strengthening of the papacy. But most councils have been held around the known Christian world in Europe as far east as modern-day Istanbul, Turkey. The declaration of pope as final arbiter of matters of faith and morals in 1870 seemed to eliminate the need for future councils of bishops.
An "ecumenical" council is a meeting that includes every bishop of the Church, including the two-dozen Eastern Rite Churches, such as the Melkite and Syriac rites, in communion with Rome. In Catholic practice, the term "ecumenical" [from the Greek oikoumenē, "the inhabited world"] is used somewhat more narrowly than in other Christian Churches. At Vatican II, no Orthodox patriarch or representative of a Protestant Church served as a voting member, though a small contingent of outside observers were permitted to attend. Synods, or regional/national meetings of bishops, were permitted before and after the infallibility decree of Vatican I; the famous 1884 Plenary Council of Baltimore's decision that every Catholic parish was to have a Catholic school is a prime example. But with the doctrine of papal infallibility now declared, and the central governance of the Church resting with the Roman Curia, most Catholics—and probably most bishops—assumed that ecumenical councils were now unnecessary, a piece of Church tradition that no longer served its consultative purpose.
It is hard for us to appreciate both the odds of another Council ever being called in the twentieth century, and the radical renewal that this Council, Vatican II, attempted to bring forth both into the Church and into society at large. An excellent analysis of Vatican II—how it came to be and what transpired during its four years of meeting—is John W. O'Malley's What Happened at Vatican II [2008]. This is not an easy book—some exposure to Church/European history is probably desirable, though Chapter 2, "The Long Nineteenth Century," provides as lucid an analysis of the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church as one is likely to find. During our "unexpected sabbatical" this is just the right book with which to orient one's self to the life of the Church in 2020.
What strikes me about O'Malley in his narration and conclusions is his ability to make sound judgments without lapsing into judgmental excesses. Many commentators have found this balance hard to achieve in their own writings on the Council through the present day. The negative assessment of Vatican II—no doubt enhanced by opponents of the radical reforms of Pope Francis--as progressive European theologians stealing the agenda from the Roman Curia still lingers, particularly on traditional Catholic blog sites. There are Catholics who identify as sedevacanists [from the Latin, "empty seat"] who hold that there has not been an authentic pope since Pius XII died in 1958, such is their distrust and rejection of Pope John XXIII, who announced a council in 1959 and "started all the trouble." O'Malley does not run away from "prelates behaving badly," but he provides an insightful overview of how those passions developed.
Chapter 2, "The Long Nineteenth Century," is an intriguing and balanced account of Church and society in the formation of Vatican II; the author dates this century as extending from the French Revolution (1789) to the eve of Vatican II (1962). The "nineteenth century" was the coming to full bloom of secular modernity; for the Church, there was no hope of turning back the clock to a time before nationalism, democracy, science, and separation of Church and State, the end, as O'Malley phrases it, of the "old marriage of throne and altar." (p. 54) Given that the modern era posed physical as well as philosophical threats to the Church of Rome--Risorgimento and the end of the papal states, for example--an embattled central church used the tools at its command: a fierce adherence to its past and a resistance to the present. The defensive posture of the Roman Church maintained itself through the election of Pope John XXIII.
Vatican II sprung from the mind of Cardinal Angelo Roncalli, elected to the papacy in 1958 at the age of 78, probably as an interim pope to serve until the Curia could arrive at a long-term consensus. No one was more stunned at the 1959 announcement of a council than the papal curia, which reportedly sat in "icy silence" when John announced his decision to them. O'Malley captures the scope of the Council in terms of size and cost with some wonderment that such an event as Vatican II could have taken place at all. The author does not idolize Pope John; he recognizes that the pope—a keen observer of twentieth century horrors—came to the Throne of Peter with a conviction that the times called for a new conversation between the Church and the world. Pope John could model what he hoped for in his messages and encyclicals, taking the unheard-of measure of addressing his encyclicals to the whole world, not simply the Roman Catholic Church. but O'Malley critiques the unwieldly machinery collected for the drafting of goals, documents, and floor management. Visionary as he was, John XXIII fielded an old guard administration for the Council that admittedly used its many bureaucratic tools to befuddle the proceedings and maintain an administrative control that angered many of the bishops in attendance.
The Curia hoped to engineer a brief council in the mode and format of Vatican I, a tightening of nuts and bolts and additions of new feasts and titles for the Virgin Mary. And yet, O'Malley explains the Curial mind without malice at numerous points in the narrative. If I may jump ahead to a telling episode on the debate over Revelation, Dei Verbum, in October 1965, the floor debate virtually ground to a halt over the language on the relationship of Scripture and Church Tradition as twin sources of Revelation. While a strong majority of the Council fathers endorsed a greater role for the Bible in Church life, the Curia lobbied Pope Paul VI to maintain a definition of Tradition as equal to Scripture. For Cardinal Siri, among others, any hint of diminution of Tradition as an equal revelation source would undermine doctrines of the Virgin Mary, notably the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption, neither of which enjoyed a strong Biblical foundation. (p. 278)
O'Malley's narrative incorporates three impulses driving most Council fathers and their theological advisors: Aggiornamento, Ressourcement, and Development of Doctrine. "Aggiornamento" is a term often applied to Pope John's "throwing open the windows." In his addresses, John used the term favorably as a need to openness and change in the face of new challenges throughout the world. Implied, of course, was the critique that the modus operandi of the Church had grown stodgy and academically stale. Aggiornamento was a mood; Ressourcement, on the other hand, was a technical theological term for a contemporary review of the primitive or early practices of the Church. A good example of the Ressourcement method is seen in the Council's decree on the renewal of religious orders, Perfectae Caritatis. The Council challenged the orders to return to the principles of their founders, the original inspirations of a St. Benedict or a St. Francis of Assisi. "Development" was a theological principle of exploration of existing teachings to consider new applications. A notable example is the American John Courtney Murray's contribution to the Council's "Declaration on Religious Liberty," a defense of freedom of conscience that distanced itself from the older Catholic principle that "error has no rights."
O'Malley manages to produce a consistent chronology of the floor proceedings despite considerable odds. Among them was uncertainty over just how long the Council would last. That Vatican II extended over four years [generally from September to December] came as a gradual surprise and point of concern for bishops—and certainly to the Curia, which had hoped for a one-session conclave of several weeks. Once the original Curial plan for a pocket council was scuttled, its proceedings were managed by Vatican moderators in a fashion of haphazardness, an unevenness of clock management, and a maddeningly disjointed daily agenda of serious debate interrupted frequently by calls to vote on schemas or portions of schemas on entirely different subjects. Hardly a Roberts Rules convocation. All public sessions were conducted in Latin.
As a result, many bishops from the "third world" and the Eastern rite churches received precious little attention to their pressing concerns by Council's end. Moreover, some documents were written hastily (on "Social Communications," for example) so that precious time could be allotted to major doctrinal and pastoral concerns. The author speaks positively of the bishops themselves—their openness to Pope John's vision, their own theological acumen or their selection of competent advisors, and their willingness to tackle controversial questions from the start: Sacrosanctum Concilium or the "Sacred Constitution on the Liturgy" was the first document promulgated. In total, sixteen documents of varying degrees and importance were promulgated by December 1965. O'Malley summarizes the major documents and the pros and cons of the floor discussions in such a way that the reader can reflect upon the wisdom of conciliar determinations and whether their goals have been satisfactorily achieved in the past half-century.
In his final chapter, "Conclusion," O'Malley does offer a telling assessment of perhaps the biggest error of the bishops, particular Western bishops: "They assumed an easier transition from ideas of the scholars' study to the social reality of the church than proved to be the case." (p. 292) Hence the turmoil when the bishops returned home. Put another way, the cutting edge thinking of the theologians and many bishops did not easily compute to an attainable catechesis. The strong reaction to the recent encyclicals of Pope Francis and charges that he is a socialist reflect that much more study of Vatican II remains to be done.
I dislike using the pedestrian term "useful" to describe fine literature, but John W. O'Malley's 300-page overview of the Council is the kind of work one buys in hardcover if possible, because it will enjoy a long shelf life. It is the quintessential one-volume history of the Council for catechetics, adult education, the college classroom, and the general adult Catholic readership. It is also worthy of study and review in our present downtime; our Catholic experience will be the richer for it.

USGBC Launches LEED Rating System for Neighborhood Development
GreenerBuilding...
Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 1:35am
After almost three years of pilot testing, the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system for Neighborhood Development launches today as a national benchmark for sustainable community design.
The USGBC with the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Congress for the New Urbanism, which helped develop the standard and the pilot, are ushering in the council's newest rating system by conducting presentations in Chicago and Washington, D.C., today.
When the pilot began in summer 2007, USGBC President, CEO and Founding Chair Rick Fedrizzi called LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) the vision for "the next generation of green building thinking."
"By applying what we've learned about individual green buildings to entire neighborhoods, we're linking urban planning and environmentally friendly design and construction in a whole new, beneficial and healthy way," Fedrizzi said at the time.
Two-hundred-thirty-nine projects in six countries -- the U.S., Canada, China, Mexico, South Korea and the Bahamas -- registered for the pilot and so far 68 have been certified at the basic, silver, gold and platinum levels.
Projects in the pilot that have attained certification include:
The Dockside Green Synergy development, which earned a recording-setting 63 LEED points and attained LEED-Platinum certification in July 2008. It also was named one of the Top 10 greening building projects by the American Institute of Architects and its Committee on the Environment last year.
Beijing's Olympic Village, which landed LEED-Gold certification in August 2008.
Currie Barracks, part of sweeping plan to redevelop a decommissioned Canadian Forces Base, which received LEED-Gold certification in September 2008.
The Navy Yard at Noisette, a portion of the vast Noisette project in North Charleston, S.C., recently became certified.
More information about LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) is available from on the USGBC website.

Home » Celebrities » Who Is The Bachelor's Anna Redman? – The List
08/01/2021 Celebrities
Who is The Bachelor's Anna Redman? When it comes to the reality television juggernaut, few things are more exciting than the beginning of a new season. That's especially the case for season 25 of The Bachelor, which for the first time ever (finally!) is featuring a Black Bachelor, real estate broker and community organizer Matt James. According to Us Weekly, Matt is good friends with former The Bachelorette star Tyler Cameron, which brought him into the Bachelor Nation fold.
While Matt is obviously the center of season 25 of The Bachelor, fans also love getting to know the flock of eager ladies who are hoping to steal the former football player's heart. That includes Redman, a 24-year-old copywriter who lives in Chicago, Illinois, as noted by her ABC profile.
For as much as Redman loves the city she resides in, she's actually from a small town named Owatonna in nearby Minnesota. And for as much as Redman misses the life she lived in rural Minnesota, with its Friday night football and Applebee's dinners, she's always known that she wanted to get out and explore the world. Curious to know more? Keep scrolling, as this is what we know about the new contestant on The Bachelor.
Redman has worked for some pretty impressive companies
According to her LinkedIn profile, Anna Redman has been steadily building her professional life since she graduated from high school in 2014. In 2018, she graduated from Loyola University in Chicago, where she studied creative advertising and communications. After that, Redman entered the workforce full time. "I've done it all, from working highway construction in Minnesota to writing ads in Chicago, and every odd job in between," she wrote.
Eventually, Redman settled into her job at a company named Havas, where she truly honed her marketing skills. "I've been working in advertising for almost three years," she wrote on her website. "I've managed to stretch my creative muscles on accounts such as Coca-Cola, Moen, Smart Water, Carl's Jr., and Travelocity." That's pretty impressive, especially for someone so young!
While Redman already has quite the budding advertising career, her professional dream is to write screenplays for movies on the Hallmark Channel, as noted by her ABC bio. Good luck with the dream, Anna!
Family is important to Redman
Perhaps not surprising for a girl from small-town Minnesota, Anna Redman is very much a family-oriented person. For one, she's shared snaps of herself with her parents and siblings on social media, like this family Christmas card on her Instagram page — talk about wholesome. Now we can really picture what those Applebee's family dinners looked like.
While Redman is very much fond of her parents and siblings, she also wants to start a family of her own. According to her ABC bio, Redman "wants a man who wants to have a family just as much as she does," as well as someone who can be open and honest when discussing it. That may bode well for her on The Bachelor, as Matt has said that he wants a "minivan" load's worth of children (via People). Perhaps that's why she got the second-to-last rose on the season premier.
Believe it or not, but Redman might even have a famous cousin: there's a good chance she and science guru Bill Nye are actually third cousins, as noted on her website. Apparently, he sends her $10 on birthdays and holidays, which is such a fun fact. If it's true, of course.
Redman calls herself an "experience junkie"
According to Anna Redman's ABC bio, she has some fun quirks, such as a deep and profound love of cheese, and a serious fear of fish — how Midwestern. And though learning how to change a tire is on Redman's bucket list, what's even more interesting about her is her desire to live a rich life; Redman calls herself an "experience junkie." Apparently, she once persuaded a pilot to let her fly a plane over Minnesota for an entire 15 minutes — yikes!
When Redman isn't charming pilots to relinquish their controls, she does actually enjoy some pretty exciting experiences, which you can readily see on her Instagram page. For one, Redman is clearly a big fan of boats, as she's on them as often as possible, and who can blame her? Redman also enjoys going to concerts when she can, as she did at Lollapalooza in 2018. And of course, Redman loves traveling, whether it's to New York, Las Vegas, London, Paris, or the sunny beaches of the Gulf Coast in Florida. Talk about living the dream!

A day of violent winds which restricted observations to the sea where even here it was very difficult - at one stage the large boat we were sheltering behind began to slide over the shingle. The seawatch itself was notable for 153 Fulmars and 218 Kittiwakes moving west during the morning but these were about the only birds moving.
The regular Caspian and Glaucous Gulls were joined by a first-winter Yellow-legged Gull.
With such persistent strong westerly winds it was probably only a matter of time before Goose Barnacles started to wash up on the beach and a couple of large clusters have now been found attached to polystyrene floats.
Also on the beach this afternoon was this fish which I think is a Shad sp., probably a Twaite Shad, - now a rare fish in British waters and classified as Vulnerable.


By Christmas 1940 almost all of Britain's major cities had been hit by extensive bombing raids, amongst them the devastating London Blitz of September and the destruction of Coventry in November. 24,000 British civilians had died, and families were displaced as children were evacuated from cities and parents went to serve in the war.
Amongst such devastation, Christmas was an important religious and social occasion, as families and friends endeavoured to continue to come together to celebrate as they had done before the war. Today Christmas denotes consumption. Most of us spend copious amounts of time buying, wrapping, and unwrapping gifts, and preparing and eating the Christmas Day feast, traditionally defined by a gravy-laden turkey and a Christmas cake or pudding. Yet, in 1940s Britain, consumption was, of course, limited by war-time scarcity.
Food rationing began in January 1940 with butter and bacon. The weekly allowance of bacon was four ounces, butter was six ounces, whilst tea was limited to two ounces per week and sugar to eight. These limits only increased in the following years, with cheese, jam (or preserves), eggs and milk being added to the list in 1941.
Recognising the importance of the festive season for morale on the Home Front, the government made certain foodstuffs, such as tea and sugar, more available in time for Christmas. Certain foods, like potatoes, vegetables, and fish were never rationed (although the latter could be very hard to come by), and the "Dig for Victory" campaign encouraged home-grown produce, so that both meat and vegetables were cultivated in allotments, parks, and gardens. What's more, families often saved up food coupons months prior, in preparation for the Christmas meal.
Other food substitutes were employed, such as 'mock turkey' made from lamb. For the Christmas cake soya flour was used in the place of almond paste, and some recipes were published for Christmas cakes without using eggs, which had been rationed to around one per week per person from 1941. Icing sugar was not available and banned from 1942, but the cake could be iced with a mixture of boiled sugar and egg white (dry milk powder if there were no eggs), or simply from melted marshmallows.
Festivities, too, didn't necessarily have to end during the war. Katherine Knight remembers a neighbourhood party in Cornwall that took place on Christmas Eve, which included games for the children (musical bumps, blind man's bluff), and a local man dressed as Father Christmas. Bunting for the event was made out of scraps of wallpaper. Those spending Christmas in air-raid shelters in towns used similar makeshift decorations and could purchase small Christmas trees that would fit inside.
Citizens were encouraged by government bodies like the National Savings Committee to give money to the war effort rather than to buy presents, and copious magazines were published in the weeks before Christmas suggesting home-maid gift ideas. In December 1944 Woman magazine, for instance, advised the reader to make and distribute 'half-pound of home-made sweets'. Toys could be made out of old stockings, curtains or other pieces of fabrics. All of the presents would not have been wrapped, however, since wrapping paper was banned in 1941 to conserve paper.
Above all, these stories of war-time Christmas consumption evidence the necessary resilience and creativity of those on the Home Front, and their ability to "Keep Calm and Carry On" in the face of hardship.

Start-up CEO, business advisor and Vodafone's ex-Global Head of Connected Car, David Levine is joining Enterprise City to share knowledge and provide support for the tech start-up community.
The experienced tech entrepreneur will be the 'Entrepreneur In Residence' for the Exchange start-up support scheme. As part of this new role, he will be on hand to offer a fresh perspective to the ambitious start-ups selected for the scheme and will prepare them in becoming investment-ready.
David is the founder and ex-CEO of DigitalBridge; a guided design platform for bathroom and kitchen retailers. He is also an experienced non-executive director and advisor to a number of exciting tech startups in the North West. He was formerly the Global Head of Connected Car at Vodafone and spent seven years working at the office of the CTO at Hewlett-Packard.
"Never before has it been easier to start a business and make global impact": New tech entrepreneur in residence appointed to support Exchange start-up scheme
David Levine, start and scale-up CEO and expert, will offer expert mentoring for the ambitious early-stage firms selected for the scheme
David said: "Despite my experiences, I have made countless mistakes during my time as an entrepreneur, which I still use now to inform decisions. I will be sharing this advice with the start-ups so they can understand how to avoid those rabbit hole decisions, often made in the early stages, that can come back to bite you."
Exchange offers its tech business cohort access to the resources and infrastructure they need to succeed, including full use of the facilities at Department Bonded Warehouse, a network of like-minded entrepreneurs, mentoring from business experts and funding opportunities.
The 30 incoming member businesses are all promising early-stage tech start-ups, operating across EdTech, FinTech, e-commerce and more. They make up the second group on the scheme, following the success of last year's cohort, which secured millions of pounds in funding between them.
As Entrepreneur in Residence, David wants to encourage the start-ups to learn from the ambition of their US counterparts, arguing that British firms tend to be more conservative and not give voice to real passions and global scale ambitions.
He said: "Never before has it been easier to start a business and have global impact. The pandemic means geographical issues are becoming a thing of the past, thanks to proven remote working capabilities, so it is exciting to see what is in store for Manchester's next generation of tech innovators.
"The community in Department Bonded Warehouse, where Exchange is based, is incredible. You can feel the energy of ideas and the willingness of people to share and cheer each other on in the atmosphere. Having that strong support network is so important in the early days of business and I am looking forward to joining that. Being based there and having access to the great mix of creative, collaborative and quiet spaces will be invaluable to the Exchange entrepreneurs, as will the strong tech and business background and history of Manchester."
Exchange member businesses include proptech firm, PropFolio, and analytics software, Gleensite, which have secured a partnership with Allied London, the developer that spearheads Exchange, as well as Kids Allowed founder's new endeavour, My First Five Years.

Dr. Childers publishes essay on paintings of the Patna opium factory
Professor Hope Childers of the Art History Division recently published an essay on Indian representations of the 19th-century opium trade:
"Spectacles of Labor: Artists and Workers in the Patna Opium Factory in the 1850s."
She considers depictions of labor at the factory, particularly in a set of nineteen paintings by Indian artist Shiva Lal, a so-called Company Painter in the Patna School, producing artworks for British patrons. She contrasts this set against a well-known series of prints by Walter Sherwill that also show factory scenes, but which cast the labor in a very different light.
Widely published as mere illustrations of opium history, but overlooked by art historians, the set by Shiva Lal narrates a story of early advancements being made by Indian artists and laborers in this period, while also exposing imperial anxieties about the China trade.


So why secure loans for those with bad credit are critical?
You' d rather know that's might? When so, getting as much information as possible about secured credit for bad credit will give you the opportunity to get long-term funding while you also work on the repair of your credit. This is what Secured Loan Expert is all about to help you make the most of the capital in your home to make sure you get the money you need.
This page will explain the basics of secured credits and how they work. LTV and APR are the two most important concepts for secured credits. The LTV is an abbreviation that means "loan to value". Anything left over would go to the banks that gave you the secured loan.
Of this one bad credit facet of house owner loan dictates that there is some degree of credit associated with it. Make sure you can easily make your money on a regular basis before you apply for a loan. Secured lending is a great tool for the provision of long-term finance and can at the same place be the start of the repair of bad credit.
Bathroom Get /oor Credit Secured Homeowners Loans Cheap and Fast!
Have you got one less than impeccable credit rating? Looking for a Homeowners Loan? Creditors are becoming more and more selective about who they grant credit to, and in recent years the requirements for writing have become much more stringent. Credit Action says Citizens Advice Bureaux are dealing daily with 9,000 new sovereign issues in England and Wales.
Those numbers show that there are many out there who have had the same credit issues as you. But help is at hand form creditors who realize that many borrower have incomplete credit scores. One bad credit secured homeowner loan could be the response to your credit taking headache.
The United Kingdom has many individuals with debts. Credit Action says a UK home is taken back every 14 mins and someone is pronounced illiquid or broke every 3.78 mins. And with 1,666 persons who report that they were released daily in the three month period to the end of June 2010, the picture will worsen.
However, with the toughening of creditors their lending requirements, even small credit matters you can stop getting the financing you need. Delayed credit card payment, small county court judgments (CCJs) and default are enough for a conventional creditor to reject your request. An bad credit secured homeowner loan allows you to lend a total amount of cash that is secured against the capital in your home.
Your home is at stake if you do not maintain the loan repayment terms, and the creditor will pay a statutory "fee" for your home. This also depends on your job situation, your incomes and expenses and the scale of your credit difficulties. An bad credit secured homeowner loan can be used for most purpose.
I' ll let you lend yourself some money: Part of the benefits of a bad credit secured homeowner loan is that it can help you restore your creditworthiness. As soon as you have taken out a secured loan, if you regularly and on time make the full payment on a per month loan schedule, your credit history will show that you have managed this loan well.
It will show that prospective lenders that you are able to get your finance done in a way that is accountable to them, making it much more likely that you will be eligible for lending in the long run. So whether you have a CCJ or standard, mortgages arrears or an IVA, why not figure out how a bad credit secured homeowner loan can get you the money you need?

This scam went off without a hitch, reaching #15 in 1976 and hitting the charts with Kid Charlemagne and The Fez . The Dan are at their wry, sardonic best here, with gems like Green Earrings and Haitian Divorce -and this reissue has complete lyrics and original artwork for the first time since the album's original release! Ever the primary conceit of mainstays Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, 1976's The Royal Scam marks the first time the Steely Dan duo actually owned up to the fact. Musically, it's their edgiest, most guitar-driven record (thanks to Becker and a murderer's row of session greats that includes Larry Carlton, Elliot Randall, Dean Parks, and Denny Dias). Lyrically, the songs cut an ever-sardonic, presciently discomforting slice of modern life that was a couple decades ahead of the game (who else was extolling the virtues of condom-couture, à la "The Fez," mid-Me Decade?). Though it didn't garner the radio attention of Aja, its more jazz-suffused, multiplatinum follow-up, Scam boasts a diverse, occasionally muscular musical rhetoric and some of the Dan's most telling portraits (the deranged, yet all-too-familiar killer of "Don't Take Me Alive," "Kid Charlemagne"'s drug-culture celebrity, the tropical convenience of a "Haitian Divorce"). Small wonder many Dan fans consider it their best. --Jerry McCulley

The aim of this study is to examine the efficiency of Islamic banks during and after the financial crisis, specifically in Asian countries from 2007 to 2011. This is evaluated using a non-parametric approach, in the form of a data envelopment analysis. The data was extracted from the BankScope database for the five-year period (2007-2011). The aim of this study is twofold firstly, it attempts to investigate sources of (in)efficiency in Asian Islamic banks during the recent financial crisis and the recovery period. Secondly, by using a Tobit regression analysis, it assesses the determinants of efficiency in the countries examined. An assessment of the efficiency levels of Islamic banks during the financial crisis and the recovery period, as well as within an international context, has policy ramifications for central banks in terms of enhancing the levels of efficiency and competitiveness of Islamic banks in the region. Accordingly, this will also help Islamic banks to weather future financial crises better and, in turn, improve their efficiency levels.

Tesla surge at risk of reversal
Ken Odeluga July 3, 2019 3:08 PM
The stock could open on Friday with as big a move to the downside as Wednesday's jump to the upside
The stock could reopen on Friday with as big a move to the downside as Wednesday's jump to the upside
Tesla finishes the short Wall Street session ahead of Thursday's 4th July holiday with a 4.6% advance. That's below Wednesday's 7.5% surge to a two-month high at $241.57. In fact the move largely matched the size of the stock's 17th June advance. That one, like the one around a fortnight later was also in reaction to delivery headlines. This time, rather than industry speculation, Tesla itself confirmed a record 95,200 deliveries in the three months ending in June. The news provides some reassurance to investors that the Model 3 maker can avoid a worst-case delivery shortfall scenario. Ultimately, that occurrence could place fresh obstacles on its long road to sustainable profitability.
Whilst welcome, the deliveries, which beat a consensus estimate compiled by Bloomberg News, are more like a step in the right direction in dealing with Tesla's most pressing challenges. That partly explains why much of the initial price move faded into Wednesday's early close. There's a fair possibility of reversal when trading resumes on Friday too. The stock had fallen as much as 46% between the start of the year and early June amid concerns about the $41.84bn group's ability to continue to fund itself as its rate of cash consumption accelerated.
Cash concerns are inextricably linked to demand worries:
Tesla might be handing over Model 3s at a record pace, but demand for its higher-margin Model S and Model X continues to decline
Combined S/X deliveries fell 20% year-on-year to 17,650 in the quarter n Deliveries of the lower-margin Model 3 rose from about 50,000 to just short of 80,000
Another worry is that Model 3 growth is 'cannibalising' S/X demand
Tesla's statement makes no mention of its full-year total delivery forecast of 360,000-400,000
There are questions over how sustainable the Q2 delivery surge is, with a $3,750 Federal tax credit that incentivised buying cut in half on 1st July
The need to switch some focus overseas will test Tesla's ability to control shipping and logistics operations and their cost
The group reported that orders exceeded deliveries during the quarter, suggesting that in theory, Q2's figures could be repeated, particularly as Tesla also expects top raise production in the current quarter. After missing self-imposed targets habitually over the years, much of Wall Street is likely to remain sceptical. The group has guided towards a loss when it reports results late this month. Bloomberg's consensus adjusted net income forecast points to a $44m loss. At the very least, great delivery news may ensure that the figure isn't much worse.
Chart thoughts
The good news is that Tesla shares may be on the verge of a definitive break out from their falling trend in place since early December. The slide was codified by a declining channel since January which shares have also now escaped from. Furthermore, the stock has enjoyed support from its 21-day moving average (red-dotted line) since early last month, a sure sign that buyers are beginning to take back control. They have finally blasted TSLA above $232, former solid resistance. Key challenges now are the 38.2% Fibonacci of TSLA's December-June slide, marking $254, and $258, site of a reversal after a promising struggle in May. The region is in confluence with longer-term resistance largely corroborated as the bottom of the stock's former trading range.

The Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct are the rules governing the professional conduct of all attorneys in the State of Idaho. You can view them by clicking: Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct
What is attorney misconduct?
Attorney misconduct is any violation of the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct which may include, but is not limited to: improper use of trust account money, conflict of interest, breach of confidentiality, neglect, lack of communication, etc.
How do I file a grievance against an attorney?
A grievance against an attorney must be submitted in writing, unless prior approval is received in special circumstances. The Grievance Form Packet is available in PDF format. If you are unable to open and print the PDF version, contact Bar Counsel's Office to request a copy by mail. Complete and return the form with a written, detailed explanation of the reasons you are filing the grievance against the attorney. Include as much factual data as possible (dates, names, phone numbers, amounts of money involved, etc.). If possible, organize the information in chronological order. The grievance must be signed by you. Attach copies of any documents which will help explain the grievance; do NOT send any original documents. If more information is needed for our investigation, we will contact you.
Is my grievance confidential?
We may send a copy of your grievance to the attorney as part of our investigation. By Rule, Bar Counsel's Office keeps the grievance confidential as between the attorney and grievant unless the grievance is serious enough to merit formal charges.
What will the Idaho State Bar do with my grievance?
Bar Counsel's Office reviews all grievances to determine if there has been any violation of the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct. After an initial investigation of your grievance, you will receive a letter from Bar Counsel's Office informing you that: (1) there was not clear and convincing evidence of unprofessional conduct; (2) more information is needed; or (3) additional investigation is being conducted as to possible violations. If the investigation establishes that there have been no violations of the Rules or if there is insufficient evidence to prove that a violation has occurred, the grievance will be dismissed and you will be informed of the reasons for dismissal by letter. If it is determined that a violation has occurred, the attorney may receive private discipline or, in some cases, formal charges may be filed. If the attorney receives private discipline, you will be informed of the sanction in writing — information concerning private discipline is not released to the public by Bar Counsel's Office. Grievances resulting in formal charges can involve sanctions ranging from public reprimand to disbarment.

How long does it take to resolve a grievance filed against an attorney?
Each case varies according to its complexity; a typical case takes approximately three to four months before a decision is reached.

Can I appeal the decision?
Yes. If you feel the decision was incorrect, you may file a written request to have the decision reviewed. Likewise, the attorney can request a review of Bar Counsel's decision. A 3-member panel, consisting of two lawyers and one non-lawyer, will then review the grievance and decision.

No. The Idaho State Bar only has jurisdiction over violations of the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct. We do not handle allegations of legal malpractice.

A Client Assistance Fund has been created to compensate clients for all or part of any losses caused by the "dishonest conduct" of a lawyer admitted to practice law in Idaho. Please note that legal malpractice and violations of the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct do not necessarily constitute "dishonest conduct" for purposes of the Client Assistance Fund.

Additionally, you may file a grievance against the attorney alleging misconduct.

Tennis: Ripe to climb ranks
David Felgate believes Tim Henman has the inner strength to continue his re-discovered form - even without the aid of a full-time coach.
The British number one climbed back into the game's top 20 with the biggest title of his career, worth #315,000, when he won the ATP Masters Series event in Paris with a straight-sets victory in the final over Romanian Andrei Pavel.
The 29-year-old had been struggling to recapture his form after a long battle with a shoulder problem. But Henman produced the goods in the French capital this week - beating world number one Andy Roddick, Wimbledon champion Roger Federer and three-time French Open champion Gustavo Kuerten en route to yesterday's final.
There was also the added satisfaction of gaining "revenge" over his conqueror at the All England Club, Sebastien Grosjean, in the second round in front of the Frenchman's home crowd.
Felgate is now the Lawn Tennis Association's performance director but was Henman's coach for nine years until their split back in April 2001.
He believes despite Henman now not using the services of a coach since parting company with American Larry Stefanki in September, the Briton is in great shape for next season.
"He is fit and healthy, very relaxed - and it all came together. It is a fantastic effort," reflected Felgate.
"He is 29; he knows where his game is at and, I hope, he can continue up the ranks.
"But let's not forget what Tim has done in the past. Everybody is looking to talk him down, and he is just going back to where he was before.
"He knows where his game is at; he takes advice; he knows what he has done over the years.
"He has worked very hard with Larry over the last couple of years and is very comfortable with his game."
Felgate believes Henman's triumph in Paris was testament to all the hard work he put in to get his game back in shape.
"His injury problems are well behind him now, and I think they have been for a long while," Felgate added.
"But it is one thing getting over the injury and getting fit again and another taking that form back on the court.
"He has got his reward for sticking in there, working hard and will have a nice off-season now."

Bheri–Babai diversion project
Officials hopefull compensation distribution will start soon
Published On: June 19, 2019 08:05 AM NPT By: Nagendra Upadhyaya

SURKHET, June 19: The Bheri Babai Diversion Multipurpose Project (BBDMP) has completed preparations to distribute compensation to residents for the land it acquired. The project aims to irrigate 510000 hectors of agricultural land in Banke and Bardiya district and generate 46 megawatt of electricity upon completion. Project officials said that it is a great progress for the project, which is expected to complete by 2022.
"The compensation distribution process will start within this fiscal year. We have made all the necessary preparations and are actively coordinating with the District Administration Office (DAO)," said Shreeprasad Shah, a civil engineer with the project. "Since we have made all the preparations, we expect to make the distribution process fast and hassle free. We expect to hand over the compensation to them within weeks of starting the process," he added.
According to Shah, the final survey of the locations has been completed and the report will be handed over to the CDO in a week. As per the survey, 13 hectors of registered land and eight hector of public land is likely to get inundated due to the project. A total of 11 houses of locals could be affected.
A survey done five years ago had shown that only eight hectors land could be affected. "The final survey has come up with utmost accuracy," said Shah.
One of the major components of the project, tunnel construction was completed in April this year. A special boring machine was used for the drilling the 12,210 meter tunnel which begun in October 2016.
"The most challenging part of the project, the tunnel has been completed. Now we are focusing on completing the remaining components of the project including the construction of the barrage, among others," said Shah.
The issue of compensation has been a headache for the government in almost all of its big development projects. Inability to settle compensation rates with the locals has often resulted in delays and in some cases have been suspended. For instance, the mega industrial park project in Jhapa is facing compensation issues as locals have warned of protests.
"Compensation part is always very sensitive, as we aim to complete the project on time, it is very important to settle the issue with locals timely," noted Shah. "Now the compensation process has started after two months of the completion of the construction of tunnel," he added.
The project has allocated Rs 100 million for the compensation this fiscal year only. Next fiscal year, which starts in month, other budget will be managed, according to Shah.
Dam at Chiple is going to affect 21 hectors of land and 11 houses. Project officials stated that locals of those areas will get compensation in the first phase. "Those areas will be fully inundated, people will be homeless. They are going to get compensation without delay," Shah said.
He stated that the rate would be fixed reasonably. Government rate of the land, current rate of transaction, quality of infrastructure and so on would be considered to fix it. "Only after the rate of the land fixed, construction of the dam will begin. It is very important to keep in mind that locals be least affected," Shah said.
For the dam construction, tender process has begun. The department of irrigation called for tender recently. "Locals are positive. We are going to distribute compensation before finalizing the tender," Shah stated.
Gehendra Pandey of Lekbeshi Municipality – 1 is one of the victims who will lose house and one bigha of land to the project. He stated that he is hopeful of the government doing justice to him and everyone like him. "We have been told that we would be given due amount for our house and land. We are hopeful, let's see," he said.
Locals like him whose land and houses are going to be covered by the project are bit assured following the new survey. Earlier, they had reservations. "In the earlier survey, they had missed out many places, now this new survey is good we heard," he said. He however added that the locals will definitely protest if in case the government fails to fix price as per current transaction rate.
The project will directly affect the locals of Bheriganga, Lekbeshi and Gurvakot municipalities.

Since Pew Research released its latest News IQ Quiz on Sept. 5, more than 250,000 people have taken our 13-question challenge. Now equipped with about two weeks of data, we decided to analyze how our online quiz-takers performed versus the general public who participated in the same survey.
The results are in: In our national survey of 1,052 randomly selected adults, Americans answered an average of 6.3 out of 13 questions correctly, including 1% who got them all correct. By contrast, those who have taken the quiz online so far have averaged 9.7 correct answers, with 9% getting perfect scores.
The volunteer quiz-takers did better than the general public on each of the 13 questions. There are notably wide gaps on certain questions, including two related to technology: About eight-in-ten online quiz-takers (79%) knew that Google Glass is a computer you can wear and nearly seven-in-ten (68%) identified Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer from a photo. Less than half of the general public (42% and 34%, respectively) answered those two correctly. In addition, 81% of online quiz-takers correctly identified Egypt as the country highlighted on a map of the Middle East, compared to about half of the public (49%).
The two most difficult questions for the general public also proved toughest for our visitors. Just about half of visitors (53%) correctly selected the picture of Justice Anthony Kennedy as the Supreme Court's swing vote in recent years; a minority of 44% correctly selected a chart showing the Dow Jones' trend since 2008 as a steep drop followed by a steady recovery.
To be sure, the differences in the results partly reflect who volunteered to take a quiz about their knowledge of public affairs, unlike the random national sample interviewed. For instance, while 29% of the general public that Pew Research interviewed were college graduates, 69% of visitors had college degrees. (Both survey respondents and online quiz-takers were asked information about themselves.) Just 9% of online test-takers had only a high school diploma or less, compared to 42% of the nationwide survey. Meanwhile, men (61%) were more likely than women (38%) to take our website's survey. However, those who took the quiz on our website were fairly similar to the national sample in terms of age.
But the fact that these website visitors have greater levels of education than the general public doesn't explain all of the differences in the scores. For instance, college graduates who took the quiz on our website answered two more questions correctly on average than did college graduates in the general public survey (10.1 vs. 8.1).
Even with the self-selected online sample, the general pattern of correct answers (and the two easiest questions) remained the same. Vast majorities correctly identified Edward Snowden's photo (94%) and know that the Federal Reserve is in charge of monetary policy (92%).
Many people found the quiz via a link on Facebook, which was the largest direct referrer—29% of online test-takers. The scores of those quiz-takers (9.7 correct on average and 9% perfect scores) were identical to rest of the quarter-million people who have completed the quiz.
Notably, this IQ quiz was harder than many past ones for both the nationwide sample and web visitors. In our February quiz, about one-third (32%) of online quiz-takers and 8% of the general public aced the test.

Q: "awk" is not processing shell variables as expected I am working on filtering Specific text from a log file. Problem here is that awk is not processing on shell variable. But working fine on filename.
I am storing a new log entry that comes in log file in a shell variable using "new_log=tail -n5 alerts.log" in a loop whenever a new log comes, then ,
Level_no=`awk '{FS="Rule: "}{print $2}' "$new_log" | sed '/^$/d' | awk '{FS=" "}{print $3}' | sed 's/)//g'

Output:
awk: fatal: cannot open file `** Alert 1564460779.1380: mail  - ossec,syscheck
* New Log starts from ** Alert 1564460779.1380: mail  - ossec,syscheck *`

Above mentioned command works well when I run it in terminal using filename instead of shell variable as follows:
awk '{FS="Rule: "}{print $2}' logs_mining | sed '/^$/d' | awk '{FS=" "}{print $3}' | sed 's/)//g'

But its performance issue if I store new log entry in another file and process from there.
So I researched more and more and came to know about awk variables...here is my shell script..
Level_no=`awk -v var="$new_log" '{FS="Rule: "}{print $2}' var | sed '/^$/d' | awk '{FS=" "}{print $3}' | sed 's/)//g'

Then output says
awk: fatal: cannot open file `var' for reading (No such file or directory)

Actual Result should be Successful execution of awk script.

A: If new_log contains the data you want to process, not a filename, you need to pipe it to awk. You can do this with a here-string.
Level_no=`awk '{FS="Rule: "}{print $2}' <<<"$new_log" | sed '/^$/d' | awk '{FS=" "}{print $3}' | sed 's/)//g'`

It's also not necessary to pipe the output to sed and another awk, you can do it all in the first script.
Level_no=$(awk -F'Rule: ' '$2 != "" {split($2, a, " "); gsub(/)/, "", a[3]); print a[3]}' <<<"$new_log")

You probably don't need the variable, though, just pipe the output of the command to awk:
Level_no=$(tail -n5 alerts.log | awk -F'Rule: ' '$2 != "" {split($2, a, " "); gsub(/)/, "", a[3]); print a[3]}')

Plastics are generally produced from petroleum, but they can come from other sources as well! All that is really required is the ability to join molecules containing carbon and hydrogen together, which you do whenever you curdle milk. This takes about 30 minutes.
Pour 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream in a saucepan and heat to simmering over low to medium heat.
Stir in a few spoonfuls of vinegar or lemon juice. Continue adding vinegar or lemon juice until mixture starts to gel.
Adult supervision please - hot stove!
The plastic is formed as a result of a chemical reaction between the casein in the dairy product and the acid (acetic in the vinegar, citric and ascorbic in the lemon juice).

Jackson EMC to build new office building in Madison County
Nick Widener
The Jackson Electrical Membership Corporation is preparing to begin construction on a new facility for its Neese District offices in Madison County.
Construction of the facility on Spratlin Mill Road in Hull is planned to begin sometime in August after the JEMC Board of Directors approves a contractor at their July meeting.
"At that time we'll have a firm estimate of the cost," said JEMC Communications Director Bonnie G. Jones. "Until that selection is made, we don't have a cost estimate."
The project was conceived in 2005 when JEMC bought 56 acres on Spratlin Mill Road. But until now, Jones said the project's timing was not right.
"We had been looking at the need for this, the need had already been identified, but with the recession and growth falling down, the cooperation thought it was not the time to pursue this." Jones said. "But at this point, things are turning around and we feel like we can turn our attention around to that building again."
The Neese District's current offices, built in 1958, are outdated and no longer capable of catering to customer and employee needs, said district President and CEO Randall Pugh.
"The existing facilities are old and worn out," Pugh said. "They're not efficient, and they don't allow us to operate the way we'd like."
Jones said the new office location off Highway 29 in Hull will provide a more central location.
"When you look at the service area the Neese District handles, they needed to be over more in Madison County," Jones said. "(Highway 29) gets them down to the northern part of Clarke that they serve and all through Madison County."
The new facility, designed by Millard Architects, will nearly quadruple the current facility's available space.
"The biggest draw for the employees will be the additional space for everyday use and for employee meetings and training," said District Manager Jean Mullis.
Other additions to the facility include an auditorium, a covered drive-thru with three drive-thru lanes, an 18,000-square-foot warehouse and fleet parking.
The auditorium is capable of seating 160 people and will be available for non-profit and civic organizations to use.
Pugh said he thinks JEMC's customers will be pleased when the Neese District's new location opens.
"It's going to improve customer service," Pugh said. "It's going to be more accessible to members and the public."
Next month, JEMC will celebrate its 75th anniversary as a company.
