Q: Two relative divs overlap each other I have the following code:

body {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}
.container {
  width: 30%;
  margin: 0 35%;
  background: yellow;
  position: relative;
  height: 900px;
}
.p1_1 {
  position: relative;
  width: 50%;
  height: 70%;
  top: 10%;
  left: 0;
  background-color: green;
}
.p1_2 {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 20%;
  border: 1px solid blue;
  top: 0;
}

    top box

    hello box

My question is why is the top:10% of .p1_1 affecting the position of .p1_2? I would have thought this was a really simple relative placing of the div following the second - unless I'm missing something blindingly obvious?
Ok - so the following code is nearer what I was expecting but how there is 15% of space not 10% (i.e. set margin-top:15% works fine) so I'm confused how 70 + 10 + 20 can't equal 100??
html,body {
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
    height:100%;
    position:relative;
}

.container {
    width:30%;
    margin:0 35%;
    background:yellow;
    position:absolute;
    height:100%;
    top:0;
}

.p1_1 {
    position:relative;
    width:50%;
    height:70%;
    margin-top:10%;
    background-color:green;
}

.p1_2 {
    position:relative;
    width:100%;
    height:20%;
    background-color:blue;
}

I've also found http://www.barelyfitz.com/screencast/html-training/css/positioning/ on tab 2 explains how

"Notice the space where div-1 normally would have been if we had not
  moved it: now it is an empty space. The next element (div-after) did
  not move when we moved div-1. That's because div-1 still occupies that
  original space in the document, even though we have moved it."

A: Here is one way how to push 2 div's down by 10%, based on their parent's height, keeping them 70% and 20% of parent.

body {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}
.container {
  width: 30%;
  margin: 0 35%;
  background: yellow;
  position: relative;
  height: 900px;
}
.p1_1 {
  position: relative;
  width: 50%;
  height: 70%;
  left: 0;
  top: 10%;
  background-color: green;
}
.p1_2 {
  position: relative;
  width: 100%;
  height: 20%;
  border: 1px solid blue;
  top: 10%;
}

Zach Parise scored a goal and added an assist as the Minnesota Wild snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory against the host New York Rangers on Thursday night.
Jared Spurgeon, Mikael Granlund and Jordan Greenway also scored for the Wild, and Eric Staal and Ryan Donato each had two assists. The Wild had been shut out in their previous two games and won for just the second time (2-7-3) in 11 games since the All-Star break. Goaltender Devan Dubnyk made 33 saves.
With the score 2-1, Parise scored a controversial goal at 11:03 of the third period. The Rangers' Brady Skjei appeared to be tripped by Minnesota's Staal as he tried to skate the puck out of the defensive zone. The puck slid straight to Parise, who was alone at the top of the slot. Parise deked to his backhand and beat Lundqvist up high.
The Wild snapped a 171-minute scoreless streak as Spurgeon opened the scoring on the power play at 15:04 of the first period.
Lundqvist made a stunning sprawling save to stop a shot by Staal, who was alone at the right post, but as the goalie tried to flop onto his back to cover the puck, it squirted under his right arm and Spurgeon was able to beat two Rangers defenders to the puck to tap it into the net. Donato, making his debut with the Wild after being acquired Wednesday in a trade with Boston for Charlie Coyle, got the second assist.
The Rangers tied the score at 1-1 with a power-play goal of their own at 5:06 of the second period, with Buchnevich sneaking a slap shot from the right faceoff dot between Dubnyk's pads. Ryan Strome and Tony DeAngelo got assists.
The Wild regained the lead at 8:41 of the second. Greg Pateryn's shot from the point was stopped by Lundqvist, but the rebound went to the top of the slot, where Granlund was able to lift it over the goalie's shoulder while falling to the ice. Parise also got an assist on the goal.
Greenway got an empty-net goal at 17:23 of the third, off assists from Staal and Donato, to cap the scoring.

Authorities want public's help in investigation of fatal shooting of Pasadena 13-year-old

As detectives worked on leads in the weekend fatal shooting of a 13-year-old Pasadena boy, city and school officials pleaded for the public's help Monday in finding the suspect or suspects.
Iran Moreno-Balvaneda, who was an 8th grader at Blair School, was playing video games in his home in the 900 block of North Raymond Avenue on Saturday night when shots were fired nearby. Moreno-Balvaneda was hit and later died at a hospital.
Citing the ongoing investigation, police haven't released many details about the shooting or a possible motive. However, investigators don't believe the boy was the intended target.

There's "no reason for us to believe he was a target," Pasadena Police Chief John Perez said Monday. He described Moreno-Balvaneda as a straight-A student and a great kid.
Brian McDonald, superintendent of the Pasadena Unified School District, said he was shocked when he found out about the shooting.
"You never want to hear about a young child being killed, especially in that manner. It's hard to wrap your head around it," McDonald said.
He offered his condolences to the family of the victim and pleaded for the public for help.
"I would ask anybody with information on who pulled the trigger, please call the police, " McDonald said. "We really need this to be solved and for those who committed this to be brought to justice."

City councilman John Kennedy said the community lost an innocent life.
"His family is beyond grief, and we are not far behind them in the anguish that fills our hearts. Our community and its people are in sorrow," Kennedy said in a statement.

Kennedy urged the shooter or shooters to turn themselves in. He also addressed anyone who was with the shooter or anyone who knows the shooter to turn the suspect in.
"It does not matter if this man is Black, brown or white. It does not matter if he is in a gang or a lone wolf. It does not matter if he is young or old. Turn him in," Kennedy said.
"As diverse peoples and diverse communities, we must stand up and stand together. Justice must be done; it is up to us to speak out and not remain silent. If you know something, say something. Turn him in and end this madness," he said.
Students in the Pasadena district are on Thanksgiving holiday this week.
Counseling services were available Monday and Tuesday for any Blair student or employee who feels they need support, said Hilda Ramirez Horvath, spokeswoman for Pasadena Unified.
"All are welcome at any time," she said.

There were 66 documented shootings this year in Pasadena, said Lt. William Grisafe, spokesman for Pasadena police. Three people, including Iran, died and 16 people were injured in those shootings, he added. He said some of the shootings were gang-related, but he didn't have the exact figure.
The first fatal shooting happened March 13 in the 2500 block of East Foothill Boulevard. A man walked up to a parked car and opened fire.
Bernardo Cortez Velasco, 23, of Azusa died the next day at a hospital from gunshot wounds to the head, neck and chest, according to the coroner's office. The second person sitting in the car, a 19-year-old Duarte woman, was treated at the scene for minor injuries. Police later arrested two men.
On Oct. 25, two men were critically wounded in a shooting in the 1000 block of Summit Avenue. Callers reported hearing gunfire around 9:50 p.m.
A third victim, who was not injured, took the two wounded men to a local hospital, police said.
One of the victims, 24-year-old Jamal Patterson, died on Oct. 28.

Saturday's shooting is not the first time residents were hit by stray bullets.
A woman was shot in the leg while in her living room with her two children on July 8. Police said she was not the intended target. The suspect had shot at a man standing in front of a nearby home in the 1800 block of Navarro Avenue.
And a 10-year-old boy playing in his front yard in the 300 block of Parke Street was shot several times on Feb. 14.
His mother, Gabriela Joya, said seconds before the shooting, her son stepped out of the home to hang out and play in the front yard where his older brother, father and uncle were. She heard a lot of gunshots and ran outside.
"My son had been hit and here we were trying everything we could to make sure my son could hold on until paramedics could arrive," she said.
Police arrested two suspects in May for that shooting.

The Emirate Hybrid-Warfare and Regime Change against Somalia. By Dr. Bischara A. EGAL. Re-edited , july 7th, 2020
"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."— George Santayana
The term "hybrid warfare" describes a strategy that employs conventional military force supported by irregular and cyber warfare tactics. … This change now requires the U.S. and its allies to adopt a new legal, psychological, and strategic understanding of warfare and use of force, particularly by state actors. The term "hybrid warfare" describes a strategy that employs conventional military means as well as irregular and cyber warfare tactics. Describes a strategy.1,2)
The Horn of Africa region has recently been the stage for a number of international actors that aim to expand their foreign policy reach. This can be seen from Turkey's increasing relations with Somalia, China and Russia's (Zylac-northern united Somalia) decision to establish military bases and the United Arab Emirates' economic, political and military activities taking place particularly in Somalia.
And Since The United Arab Emirates lost its political and geostrategic position in Somalia in 2018, it has used all kinds of propaganda campaigns, financial enticement and hybrid -warfare against the FG in Mogadishu through its moneyed local proxies and with full -spectrum of political crisis, fake democracy public demonstrations and disruptions which are intended for to smear the good name of current government under leadership of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmojo's Nabad & Nolool party(NNP). Employing its vast cyber warfare network and resources it has more social media accounts than other GCC country, spreading misinformation and disinformation propaganda against its opponents i.e., Qatar, Houtis and Somalia
More seriously, the UAE has injected itself in current Somali socio-political, security, and governance issues since early 2019 and culminating this year, bringing vast amount of political slush funds in order to destabilize, create social unrest the Federal Government and FM states and funding to local proxy politicians for outright regime changes in Somalia.
UAE has spent enourmouse amount of funds, diplomatic efforts to derail initial Turkish and latter Ethiopian re-conciliation efforts between Somalia- Somaliland from its progressive course, and to arrest FG's increasingly positive and optimistic influence on Federal Member States FMS , public opinion , and of the world community . They invent and support/finance all imaginable and unimaginable adversaries of Somalia locally and internationally.
UAE debacle in Somalia
"Since late 2019 when the Somali federal govt., and the breakaway region of 'Somaliland' which was mediated by Ethiopian PM Abiyi Ahmed, initially in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and subsequently to Djibouti city, Djibouti republic where President Omar Ismael Ghelle hosted and chaired the final stage of the conference. The Talks between Somali and the breakaway Somaliland region was hailed as historic, as kick-starting a political dialogue between the two to resolve their longstanding differences".4)
Somalia President Mohamed Abdullahi Formajo and Somaliland leader Moussa Bihi Abdi met on June 14th, in Djibouti, their neighbor in the Horn of Africa, in the presence of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, the Nobel laureate who in 2020 brought the two sides together in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital.3)
UAE using its fast networks of local proxies and available financial resources at its disposal it has created dangerous political, social and security discourse among the central govt. and the FM states as well. UAE and its allies local proxies are doing all they can, to smear to derail somali FG 's progressive course, and to arrest its increasingly positive and optimistic influence in uniting all somali factions in peace and unity .
There is unconfirmed report that the UAE has taken steps in bringing lots of slush money over 700 million in order to use its Geo-strategically and political goals in Somali, Aiming to use its local collaborators as proxies. the Abu Dhabi administration wants to cover up its failed FPolicy in Somalia with the illusion of creating dissolution of federal Somali parliament and resignation of current Govt., of President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo by creating a constitutional crisis and thus a coup d'état where speakers of both (upper +lower) Hses will claim personal insecurities and threats to their safety and seek political asylum overseas in western countries . The United Arab Emirates govt. ratchet it up its hybrid war on both Djibouti and Somalia with a war chest of $700 million dollars since mid-may, 2020, taking advantage of internal discourses and social up heavls in both nations. 4)
B) Local Oppostion trying to capitalize diplomatic row
"Somali opposition groups are seizing on the soured relations between Abdullahi Mohamed's government and Abu Dhabi by accusing the government of actively moving towards the Turkish-Qatari alliance and thus endangering their vital relationship with other Gulf States. Ahmed Madobe, President of the Jubaland region in Somalia, expressed his support for the UAE back in May, while criticizing the diplomatic strategy of Mogadishu. Abdullahi Mohamed's rivals will likely continue to exploit this fractured relationship as they push for increased support from Gulf States in their efforts to expand influence within Somalia. If the UAE develops more relationship with local leaders, like it has done with Puntland, then it risks calling into question the legitimacy of Abdullahi Mohamed's government and thus provides more incentive for conflict and power grabbing".5)
The UAE needs to be aware that it is playing with fire if it exploits these divisions. Disrupting the fragile state of stability that Somalia is slowly working towards does nothing for the UAE's ambition to be seen as a key peace broker in the region. The same can be said over the UAE's refusal to take responsibility for its role in militant funding in the country. 6,7).
The United Arab Emirates shouldn't use Somalia as a pawn in its inter-GCC war since Somalia has nothing to gain from siding with either of UAE or Qatar.
Conculussions:
Somalia is not going bk to post-2018 Geostrategic and diplomatic relations with UAE, because of what Mogadishu perceives as an Agenda of Somali colonization if not outright balkanizati0on- A ruthless and undemocratic Hegemonic power of latent imperialism by a fellow Arab.
"It is clear that there are deepening tensions between the UAE and two strategic players in the Horn of Africa, namely Somalia and Djbouti. It can be said that there are three major reasons for that. First of all, the UAE does not respect the national sovereignty of these countries and prioritizes its interests even if they contradict with these countries' national sovereignty. The second reason is related to the nature of the UAE activities in the region. The Somalia and Djibouti governments are not comfortable with the UAE-sponsored ports and military bases, mainly because of their long-term negative impacts on these countries. The final reason is that there are a number of emerging international actors such as Turkey, Russia and China, which have developed good relations with Somalia and Djibouti. This has caused them to reconsider their relations with aggressive actors in the region such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia". 8, 9, 10)

N.B: Part2 – UAE involvement in Djibouti Crisis


Applications are open for Newry, Mourne and Down District Council's Irish Language Burary Scheme.
The scheme is to assist individuals who have not been awarded a scholarship / bursary from public funds to improve Irish Language skills through providing scholarships or bursaries for Irish Language courses, including Gaeltacht colleges, intensive courses and third level courses starting and finishing within the current financial year under consideration (1 April – 31 March).
The bursary will cover course fees only and applicants are eligible to apply for 50% of total fees for the course up to a maximum of £300 in total.
Cuidiú le daoine nach bhfuil scoláireacht/sparánacht na gcistí poiblí acu cheana, a scileanna Gaeilge a fheabhsú trí scoláireachtaí nó sparánachtaí a chur ar fáil do chúrsaí Gaeilge, coláistí Gaeltachta, dianchúrsaí agus cúrsaí tríú leibhéal san áireamh a bheas ag toiseacht agus ag críochniú sa bhliain reatha faoi chomaoin (1 Aibreán – 31 Márta).
Clúdaíonn an sparánacht seo táillí cúrsa amháin.
Tá iarratasóirí i dteideal cur isteach do 50% de tháillí iomlán an chúrsa suas go huasmhéid £300 ar fad.
Responding to the Bursary and other funding streams, Councillor Barra Ó Muirí has urged children in South Armagh to avail of the Gaeltacht Scholarship schemes currently available to them.
The Slieve Gullion Councillor said, "As joint chair of the Irish Language Strategy Cross Party Working Group, I am delighted to announce that our Council Bursary Scheme is now open to applicants. The Scheme offers applicants the chance to apply for 50% funding of course costs, up to £300. Last year, £30,000 was spent on scholarships to send out young people to the Gaeltacht, to develop their love and understanding of the language, as well as preparing them for Examinations".
The Councillor also praised the GAA with a scheme launched recently by the Armagh County Board.
'The Armagh County Board have also launched their Scholarship Scheme, where children and their parents fill out a form, have it signed by the club secretary and send it back to me, as County Cultural Officer. Last year, the County Board gave out over £12,000 in scholarships to young GAA members attending Gaeltacht courses, with all applicants receiving roughly £100.


The twists and turns of Thailand's diplomacy toward its neighbouring countries have recently undergone a metamorphosis. The military's seizure of power from the elected government in May 2014 allowed civilian decision-makers and security officers to reboot ties with the bordering countries. But not all such attempts have been successful.
For instance, Thailand no longer perceives its northeastern neighbour, Laos, as its closest and best friend. When the latest Lao government came to power in April 2016, Thailand had high expectations of a new era in Thai-Lao cooperation.
In the past, Lao Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith, when he was deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs, would fly to Bangkok each April to commemorate the traditional New Year at the Lao Embassy.
Since the end of 2009, Thai-Lao ties were further strengthened by the Abhisit government's repatriation of Hmong refugees to Laos, at Vientiane's request.
Bangkok decided to do so for the sake of good neighbourly relations even though the US and the European Union (EU) severely criticised the Thai decision, fearing that the returnees would be prosecuted. However, the Thai government trusted Vientiane and went ahead with the plan, which ended 35 years of mistrust that had hindered bilateral ties.
However, since the May 2014 coup, a series of incidents involving Thai political activists living in exile in Laos has damaged ties. Both sides have been extremely careful in managing this dilemma to prevent it from being spilled over into broader bilateral ties.
In the past months, Thai and Lao senior defence officials have held two high-level consultations to discuss this vexing issue. But there has been no substantive outcome regarding the halt of exiled dissidents' activities, which Bangkok views as political violence instigators.
Vientiane's perceived inertia and indecisiveness indicated that the Thai leaders do not have the necessary rapport with their Laotian counterparts across the border to ensure stable relations. This represents a low point in Thai-Lao relations.
Thailand and Laos share a common border of 1,810km. The two countries went to war briefly over border disputes in 1987-88. Since then, both sides have diligently mended fences and nurtured good relations, citing similarities of language and culture as a foundation.
Economic reforms in Laos under the "Chintanakarnmay" campaign in mid-1980 has enabled both sides to work more closely. Bangkok has played an important role in assisting modernisation in Laos, providing human resources training, capacity building and other knowhow.
Thailand's continued pledges to purchase hydropower from Laos have been a key commitment to Lao energy and economic planning and policies. Thailand also helped Laos to integrate with Asean after it joined in 1997.
In contrast, Thailand's relations with Cambodia and Myanmar have gone from strength to strength. The success of a recent joint cabinet meeting between Thailand and Cambodia in Phnom Penh is frequently cited as a prime example of the positive outcome when leaders are in sync and trust each other.
The widely publicised Sept 7 photo of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen hugging Thai Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha showed the comfort level of their relationship. Hun Sen responded positively to Thailand's request related to exiled Thai politicians living in Cambodia.
The two leaders agreed to further enhance their partnership to promote peace and prosperity, particularly in connectivity infrastructure.
By the first quarter of 2020, Thai-Cambodian connectivity — in which tourists will be able to travel from Bangkok to Phnom Penh by train — will rival that of Thailand and Malaysia. Bangkok has already completed its portion of the rail line, while Cambodia will finish its construction of the other 386km section inside its territory.
Additional international border posts with so-called "common control areas" are planned. The recent opening of Nong Ian in Thailand's Sa Kaeo province to Stung Bot in Cambodia's Panteay Meanchey will facilitate the movement of people and goods.
Most importantly, both Thai and Cambodian national leaders also strongly backed their special economic zones in the border areas of Trat and Koh Kong, and Sa Kaeo and Banteay Meancheay.
It is important to note that this connectivity is part of more extensive economic plans that will open up the so-called Southern Economic Corridor. These emerging trading and production hubs will connect Dawei in Myanmar to Bangkok to Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City under the Greater Mekong Sub-region. Already, Japan has agreed to provide financial and technical knowhow.
A project of building parallel high-speed train has been discussed among the decision-makers from Japan and lower Mekong countries. Another corridor, the Northern Economic Corridor, of which Laos is a major transit point, is equally important and its progress is pending the level of Thai-Lao economic integration and overall connectivity.
At this juncture, Laos is the only country with migrant workers in Thailand that has been reluctant to sign a memorandum of understanding on labour cooperation.Myanmar and Cambodia have already established government-to-government frameworks with Thailand to manage the movement of their workers across the border. Thailand wants to cut down migrant labour brokers and exploitation of existing systems.
Vietnam will be next to do so, depending on future talks to expand the number of professions covered by the deal. Of late, more illegal movement of women workers has been detected across the Thai-Lao border, which could be problematic, given cultural sensitivities between the two countries.
In the past three years, Thailand has been able to consolidate ties with Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam in security as well as economic areas. For the first time since the end of World War II, Thailand can credibly claim that it has established genuine close and functional ties with these neighbours.

You are probably looking for a new lamp and thinking by yourself " What's the best one? Which one will look matchless and original? " If you are thinking the same stained glass lamps are the answer to your prayers! A stained glass lamp will be definitely a good choice for people like you. These lamps are very well designed and the bases match to their glass shades in most situations. The bases can be made of any material including; wooden, brass and metal. Most of them have an antique look with different carved designs. The combination of the parts is also essential. Some glass lamps are also combined with a simple lampshade. You can gather people's attention to base with more plain lamp shades but these stained glass lamps are not for that! In my opinion, the glass shade should be absolutely elegant and eye-catching!
Most of the stained glasses are shaped like animals including; owls, peacocks, birds, swans, lions and other exotic animals. Bases are generally carved and reflect an antique look most of the time. Finding a modern one is definitely hard in this kind of lamps design. You can also find stained glass lamps which are decorated with perfect flowers, lanterns, Christmas trees and other figures. The second part of the figures are better for me, I really like seeing flowers in my shade, they will instantly increase the mood of your room!
This stained glass design firstly made by a company called Tiffany and they also known as Tiffany style lamps. That company used all the figures above for a better look. However, there are some Moroccan lamps which used the same design as Tiffany lamps. It all comes to your personal preference which one you are going to choose. You can always obtain a mosaic effect with these beautiful lamps. There are many choices regarding colours, most of them are vibrant and shiny! But the most important part is getting a matching lamp and shade. Also, fitting the lamp in your room is another problem.
The bases have different shapes and sizes as well as colours. You might get two of the same item and they might look different. Because most of the stained glass lamps are made by hand and there is probably going to be some colour differences between them! This is the good side of these lamps I think, you won't probably get the same lamp twice! Everything is unique and designed in their own way! Whether you are buying a traditional or an antique stained glass lamp they are all going to look different and these differences will be great because they will have different attractive additions to every room in your house!
I can definitely suggest these perfect stained glass lamps to their fanatics! I also like them so much! They are matchless and unique when it comes to design! There are thousands of designs in the market and you can pick the best one for your decoration needs. There is also one tip, I would like to share with you. The stained glass part can be made of plastic! So if you want an original looking unique stained glass lamp to make sure the lampshade is made of glass! This is all I have to say about these gorgeous stained glass lamps! Now you can read the review part and learn about the best products on the market!
How to Pick Best Stained Glass Lamp?
Picking the right lamp is good for everyone! No one would like to spend money on a bad item and replace it after using it for 3-4 months. This would be a disaster for any person out there. However, I can save you from this burden and share you some of my tips. There are some factors which you should inspect really close! Those factors are generally missed by most of the customers and cause some problems in the end.
Size is one of the most important factors in the game! If you are going to use this lamp on a table, you should pick lamps suitable to your table size. If your table or desk is too small, you are definitely going to have a problem with bigger sized lamps! You should always check the dimensions of a product, especially the base part if you want to avoid any further problems! If you are looking to buy a stained glass floor lamp then your job is mostly easy. They are generally at the same size with little differences. The shade is more important in this kind of situations and now I'm going to give you tips about that.
There is a trick that companies do, as I mentioned before. They can use plastic instead of stained glass and they look really cheap. Sometimes you won't even understand the difference between them so, you should inspect the lamp really close! Another thing is, lampshades will always look different because most of the time they are handmade and colours will definitely vary. This is a good thing for most of the people but if you want to avoid any problems, you might want to ask the seller the pictures of the lamp you are getting. This simple tip can solve any problems which may occur in the first place! Lampshade affects the quality as well. It will make a stained glass lamp cheaper.
The base is another important factor. Size is of the base is really important if you want stability. Since these stained glass lamps are made of glass they can break down into thousands of pieces in a single knockdown. I highly suggest you get a stable table lamp if you are living with children and pets! The base affects the price as you can understand.

[talk-ph] Node position for towns

Previous message: [talk-ph] Node position for towns
Next message: [talk-ph] u-turn slots
BTW, what do we do to he gns_*=* tags when moving them?
Also I think that the source=gns tag MUST be deleted (or modified) when you
move them since the position of the node is no longer sourced from GNS when
you move it.

Follow my journey of designing, creating, and building a business. Welcome!
So now its showtime! I am extremely nervous because we barely had time to rehearse or see the flow of the show. I watch from the backstage screen as Kevin, the show's coordinator, starts the introduction. The show commences with an amazing dance performance which gets everyone, including the designers and models, pumped! We were all just having fun and the previous stress and anxiety melted away. When it was time for my set, I was just happy at that point. Fortunately, every model was dressed in time for my line-up and I was able to relax and get photos and video of the girls. That moment right before runway time is always the greatest, Its a time when I reflect on what it took to get to that point and see how my hard wok has payed off. I can't wait to share the final photos from the show!
So, I was blessed with the opportunity to showcase my designs at the annual Diamante fashion show and I wanted to share my bts experience! The day started when me and another Howard designer arrived at Georgetown University at 11am. Along with us, we had our big suitcases filled with our garments and sewing machines – lets also note that Georgetown University campus is like a MAZE! When we were finally able to find the Auditorium, we were extremely excited! We unpacked our things, socialized with the other designers, and fitted our clothing on the models, and even sewed a few extra pieces during the 5 hour gap until the show!
So after all of the panic and desperation, my new fabric arrived! Tonight I will be getting started on creating new pieces for the show this weekend. I know I would like to create a few jackets and maybe some special joggers. I am still working out how I want to style the pieces for a complete look and mix up. I am excited to see how everything turns out!
So….I have another fashion show this weekend! I already have every piece in my collection made but (with my crazy creative brain and need for pushing myself) I want to create new designs. I feel that I want to spruce up my collection with some additional pieces and showcase those for this Georgetown show. I want my pieces to be more accessorized and styled for this show. BUT it is not up to me – it is up to the USPS delivery workers in delivering my fabric in time. I am hoping everything is delivered by Friday so I can get started working on the pieces, even I have to do it all in one day! Earlier this week someone asked me why I so I always wait to the last minute to order fabric? Well…the answer is that I am so indecisive! Please pray for me and my obsession with perfection!!
The HUHC Fashion Show was amazing! At first I was worried about my models not being able to walk in the order I selected or the clothing not being properly fitted before they walked out. Backstage was so hectic but I made sure I kept calm. It was astounding seeing my designs going down the runway and hearing roars from the crowd at each look. I also was able to successfully debut my website that night. After all the nerves, anxiety, and angst…everything went exactly how I dreamed!
The day of Howard University's Homecoming Fashion Show was hectic! The morning started off with me finishing up sewing a few pieces and then attending class. I also had to be a part of a event that counted towards my final grade for one of my classes. The event was a success but, unfortunately, I was late to the HUHC fittings. The staff was texting and emailing me and there was nothing I could do! After the event was over, I headed to the auditorium with my suitcase of designs and we spent hours setting up and figuring out which models would wear what. I did interviews for online magazines and socialized with the other designers which calmed my nerves. Although I was overcome with anxiety about how the show would turn out, I was extremely excited to showcase my work!
UM WHERE IS MY FABRIC?? 3 days ago, I ordered my fabric for my designs for the HU Homecoming Fashion Show; it's 3 days later…AND MY ORDER HAS NOT SHIPPED YET! I had ordered from my usual site because they are normally really fast in processing orders, I usually get my fabric within a week. I called this morning and they said that they were out of stock of one of my fabrics and had to ship it from their other warehouse. Unfortunately, this had delayed the process and I would probably not get my fabric until THE WEEK OF THE SHOW. Of course, I feel like there is a cloud of worry hanging above my head but I decided to relax. I am not letting things that are out of my control worry me anymore. I am speaking positive affirmations that everything will come out smoothly. Luckily, I still have fabric left over if all else fails. Stay tuned.

Niche and Famous - Exotic Car Rental Company Blossoms in L.A.
May 2, 2012 • by Tariq Kamal
Black and White's fleet of luxury and exotic rentals makes a statement on the lot. Sam Zaman says 90% of his fleet is either black or white, his favorite colors for vehicles.
Several years ago, Dan Darvish hit a professional roadblock. He was working at an independent Los Angeles rental agency that catered to hotels and movie studios. There was steady demand for sedans, camera trucks and 15-passenger vans, but Darvish wasn't satisfied. Believing there was bigger business in better cars, he began reaching out to more upscale hotels and petitioning his boss to add luxury and exotic units to satisfy their wealthy guests.
"He was adamant against it," Darvish says. "He was a very conservative businessman, and a niche market was out of his comfort zone." And so Darvish went looking for a source for luxury rentals. "Everybody said, 'You gotta call Sam.'"
Sam Zaman, that is, owner of Black and White Car Rental in Beverly Hills, Calif. Zaman and his father, Jay, opened the business in 1994, when Sam was still in high school. They started with a small insurance-replacement fleet and quickly cornered the local body-shop market. "We showed the body shops they had an option (to the national chains)," Zaman says, which meant offering a better class of replacement vehicle, establishing direct billing with insurance companies and "bending the rules" of the corporate RAC standards such as qualifying underage drivers.
After his father retired in 1999, Zaman took over the business and rewarded himself with a brand-new Porsche Carrera. Parked on Black and White's corner lot, the Carrera began to get attention from would-be renters. Swayed by popular demand, Zaman began renting out his Carrera and looking for additional upscale units.
"'Are you crazy, renting out your car?' That was the first reaction I would get," he says. "There was a lot of risk. It's like giving one guy eight Corollas."
Sam Zaman, owner, Black and White Car Rental
Standard and Exotic
By the time he met Darvish, Zaman had already begun to expand his luxury fleet. He started with Mercedes-Benz sedans, scaling up from C-Class to E-Class and then S-Class, which has become their most popular luxury unit. He then partnered with BMW of Beverly Hills and added a fleet of 3, 5 and 7 Series.
"Seventy percent of Sam's cars were on rent to other companies," Darvish says. "And he had no sales, no marketing; he was wearing 15 different hats." The two decided to join forces. Darvish came on board as general manager and went to work drumming up more hotel and studio business.
Nonetheless, standard rentals still account for more than three-quarters of Black and White's 420-vehicle fleet. How to market both remains the question. "We're fighting it out as we speak," Darvish says. "Should we have two separate websites or one site where people can choose from regular cars or super exotics?"
Fleet financing was "a big hurdle to jump over." Black and White has worked with 1st Source Bank from the beginning — a relationship that grew slowly. "They've been wonderful, like family," Zaman says. "Now it's like buying a Corolla. But they don't and will not fund exotic cars for just anybody."
Zaman buys from local dealerships. "We never leased; you cannot lease exotics," he says. He then gives those dealerships a special rate for their customers who may want to test drive a vehicle before purchasing.
The dealers also have the right of first refusal on buying back the units. Super exotics depreciate "on a very different schedule," Zaman says, and their resale value tends to nosedive after 10,000 miles. [PAGEBREAK]

Protecting the Investment
With such high-priced assets, the vehicle walk-around is a vital part of the rental process. Demonstrating vehicle controls to customers and showing them how to park, negotiate driveways and even open the door are essential.
Many exotic models have their own idiosyncrasies, and expensive ones at that, such as the Lamborghini's low (and easy-to-scrape) front bumpers or the Dodge Viper's $20,000 replacement hood. Luckily, for drivability's sake, super exotics have become more accessible since OEMs began to phase out stick shifts in favor of paddle shifters, Darvish notes.
Customers need their own insurance coverage, and Zaman personally calls a customer's credit card company or insurance provider to confirm their policy details. Foreign renters are a challenge, as their insurance does not cover overseas car rentals, and Black and White creates a form of collision damage waiver for them.
The mileage cap is 50 per day on most of the super exotics; the agency's newest acquisition, a $500,000 Lamborghini Aventador, is only allowed 35. GPS tracking devices are "a must" — and Mexico is off-limits entirely.
Most states allow agencies to report a vehicle stolen after a seven-day waiting period; in California, they have to wait four weeks. Zaman says because of his established relationship with the Beverly Hills police force, they have been more accommodating, investigating thefts sooner and keeping an eye on the rental lot.
Movie studio business is good business. "Studios have nice, big budgets," Zaman says, which translates to flatbed transport, minimal miles and great insurance. "You just feel comfortable and confident that if anything happens to the car, they've got a $10 million binder to cover it."
Black and White vehicles have been in their fair share of music videos, movies and commercial shoots. "Production coordinators tend to be hush-hush about what it will be used for," Zaman says, adding that he's opened the DuPont Registry to find his Ferrari 458 in a tire advertisement.
Zaman counts many of Hollywood's elite as his best customers. Realizing that they might not want the public to know their flashy new ride is a rental, he doesn't use company-branded license-plate frames or key chains.
Darvish says most of Black and White's famous clients prefer to be discreet, but several, including Lionel Richie and Justin Bieber, have taken it upon themselves to promote the rental agency on Facebook or Twitter. "It's amazing," Darvish says. "One Tweet from a Jonas Brother was enough to crash our website."
Sometimes, though, catering to a high-profile client ends with unwanted attention.
In January, Lindsay Lohan was sued by a woman who claimed she was struck by a Maserati GranTurismo driven by the actress in September 2010. To Zaman and Darvish's surprise, Black and White Car Rental was named as a co-defendant. Knowing they had never even owned a GranTurismo, Darvish called the plaintiff's lawyer.
The attorney assumed that because the Maserati's license-plate frame was from Ferrari's Beverly Hills dealership — one of Zaman's regular suppliers — the vehicle was rented from Black and White. Black and White has since been removed from the case.
Beverly Hills Rides, a new subdivision of Black and White, offers limousine service with licensed and bonded drivers.
Expanding the Brand
During the recession, rentals slowed, though lack of cars in the market drove prices up. "The used-car market was really strong at that time," Zaman remembers. "That saved us."
Now, they've begun to expand. Last year, Zaman opened a second location near Los Angeles International Airport. The company had also considered opening offices in Las Vegas, San Francisco and San Diego, but has not yet pulled the trigger.
"Sam preaches slow growth," Darvish says. "We are growing, but we're going to be conservative. We want to make sure our market share here is strong."
Zaman and Darvish are working overtime to launch a limousine subsidiary staffed by licensed and bonded drivers. A new franchise agreement with Hawthorne, Calif.-based EagleRider will allow them to begin renting Harley-Davidson motorcycles this year.

Raising children has never been easy, and this is especially true in the Foreign Service, where both unique challenges and exceptional rewards come with the territory. The Department of State's Bureau of Medical Services (MED) knows that our parents, like all parents, worry that the decisions they make about their children may have long-term impact. Yet the Foreign Service lifestyle just seems to increase the stakes.
Would my child be better off in the United States? Isn't exposure to other cultures and languages good for children? What do I do if a teacher raises concerns about my child's learning style or social skills? Who do I talk to? What are the options? Caring for Foreign Service employees and their dependents overseas takes many forms for MED, including making sure children with behavioral health conditions and educational disabilities have access to important services they require.
MED's Mental Health Services division has a primary role in the many clinical and administrative processes involved in support of this goal, a responsibility that dates back many years. However, the State Department's emphasis on hiring over the previous decade and deliberate efforts to support significantly increased numbers of employees and dependents overseas have resulted in new challenges and opportunities for MHS.
Clinical and administrative support to MED personnel overseas.
CFP is made up of a multidisciplinary team of child psychologists, social workers and child psychiatrists with experience in both clinical and educational systems to closely replicate the functions performed by members of a Child Study Team in a U.S. public school.
Prior to the creation of CFP, the programmatic functions of educational clearance recommendations and special needs funding and case management were performed by MED/MHS Employee Consultation Services clinical social workers; and mental health clearance consultations and medevac support were performed by MED/MHS clearance psychologists and psychiatrists.
In 2013, a combination of factors contributed to the impetus for reimagining MHS structure for supporting children and families. These included resource concerns due to an increased emphasis on traditional Employee Assistance Program work provided by ECS; a desire to streamline the clearance process for families; and a need to ensure consistent application of the SNEA-related Department of State Standard Regulations. Both MED and MHS leadership recognized the need to move toward a more uniform code of practice in supporting children and families.
As with any new program, there have been growing pains. After a reasonable start-up period, an internal assessment was undertaken to gauge the progress of the office in standardizing SNEA case management and servicing the special needs client population. In that vein, a number of endeavors by CFP stakeholders—including MED, the Office of Allowances, the Office of Overseas Schools, the Family Liaison Office and others—have been underway over the past year that are aimed at improving oversight, consistency and accountability of the educational allowance.
The Office of Allowances has been particularly instrumental in efforts to draft an updated informational SNEA ALDAC cable, to clarify Department of State Standardized Regulations and shepherd a number of other SNEA initiatives to assist all involved.
Both MED and MHS leadership recognized the need to move toward a more uniform code of practice in supporting children and families.
MED Clearances. The current MED clearance process for children and youth encompasses three domains: general medical, behavioral health and education. MED/MHS/CFP is responsible for providing clearance recommendations to the Office of MED Clearances for behavioral health and educational needs. When an employee submits a medical clearance update request for a child to the Office of MED Clearances, the office reviews the documentation for any behavioral health or educational needs and, where present, sends a request for a clearance consultation to MHS/CFP.
MHS/CFP staff then perform a case review as part of the medical clearance process and make a recommendation on what level of need a child has and to what extent the need or needs can be met overseas. Factors that are considered include the condition or disability, level and length of stability, the required treatment or intervention and whether adequate services can reasonably be accessed overseas, among other things.
"Post Approvals" are considered when a child has been categorized as needing a "post-specific" clearance and the employee's Human Resources career development officer (CDO) submits potential postings to MED for review. Factors that may speed up the clearance process include submission of up-to-date medical and educational documentation, full disclosure of behavioral health and educational needs, and thorough research by parents into the adequacy of resources at posts of interest.
Educational clearances for children may be performed by the CFP with tentative school acceptances received by parents in order to assist an employee in the bidding process. However, an official school acceptance is required for children with special needs before they may travel to post. If official school acceptance is not received, it is the employee's responsibility to notify their CDO and MED Clearances immediately.
Special Needs Education Allowance. Children. Education. Health care. Money. Individually, these topics often spark rich debate and emotion-laden discussion; in aggregate, the reaction can be incendiary. The Special Needs Education Allowance process pulls all of these together and has traditionally been the most confusing of the CFP responsibilities for parents, providers and post management.
Notwithstanding these challenges, the State Department is committed to assisting employees in meeting the necessary expenses incurred when deployed overseas in providing adequate education for their school-age children.
The education allowances are designed to assist in defraying those costs necessary to obtain educational services that are ordinarily provided free of charge by public schools in the United States. The goal is to replicate, as closely as possible for those posted overseas, the support that would be available to parents of children in a U.S. public school district using the best Washington, D.C., metropolitan school districts (e.g., Arlington, Falls Church, Fairfax and Montgomery counties) for guidance.
Under the DSSR, a child receiving SNEA must have written evidence that they meet the definition of a child with a disability under the Individuals with Disability Education Improvement Act, and there must be a formal Individualized Education Program (an "IEP") or its equivalent, prepared by a professional medical or educational expert, that delineates which educational services are required to provide for the child's special needs. All documentation should be provided to MED by the employee and is reviewed by CFP.
Finally, appreciating how the MED clearance process interfaces with SNEA is crucial to understanding the benefits and limitations of this educational allowance. The MED clearance process is the first step toward meeting a child's needs overseas. A child is medically cleared for a post if the required services are available at that post, and the SNEA may then be used to offset extra costs for the required services which are not provided free by the school or covered by the employee's medical insurance.
If, on medical clearance review, an employee or spouse has needs which cannot be met at certain overseas posts, MED will inform HR/CDA that the relevant clearance status is "post not approved." Likewise, if a child's medical, psychiatric or educational needs cannot be met at certain posts under consideration, the child will not be medically cleared for the post.
All CFP processes work best when there is a true partnership between parents, Foreign Service medical officers overseas and the various administrative components in the department positioned domestically and abroad.
Employees from the Office of Allowances, the Office of Overseas Schools and the Family Liaison Office work closely with MHS leadership and CFP personnel to assist families in understanding how educational opportunities, educational allowances (including SNEA) and local resources enable children with special needs to be posted successfully overseas.
Given the individualized requirements of IEPs and the IDIEA, CFP strongly encourages parents to contact its staff members and discuss germane elements of the processes for their child.
I encourage readers to visit http://med.m.state.sbu/mhs/cfp or www.state.gov/m/med/family/index.htm, where you will find a set of frequently asked questions with CFP's responses.

Before I start seriously tackling my financial situation and writing about it earnestly, I need to take two steps in the right direction.
Step 1: I need to be completely transparent with myself and my potential readers.
I am in the process of paying down $38,000 of debt. That includes $9,000 in credit card debt, a $15,000 car payment, and over $14,000 owed to my mother for previous loans and graduate school. Those numbers are nice and neat for the purpose of this post, but I assure you that I have created spreadsheets breaking down money in and out down to the penny.
Why do I need to take this step? I'm really good at two things: compartmentalizing stress and shrugging my shoulders. When I look at money owed individually, it doesn't feel quite that serious enough for me to make drastic changes to better my financial life. Compartmentalization is quite dangerous for me. I'm also really good at the "no big deal" mentality. Everyone has debt, right? It's not a big deal. I don't need to worry about it… Again, if I don't find a way to take this seriously, I will never be able to change.
Step 2: I need to relieve myself of any guilt associated with my finances.
This does not mean that I am denying responsibility or accountability when addressing the hole I've dug. Relieving myself of guilt means that I will put a stop to the maladaptive thoughts that turn into a constant mental chatter: I can't believe you let yourself do this… Do you know how much money you would have if you didn't buy all that crap? Were those purchases really worth it? How could you borrow so much money from family?
I take ownership of the choices I've made without self-deprecating thoughts. I have a new outlook, new plan, and new goals. This is a learning experience—one that I will not take for granted.
I know that sounds a little silly, and there is actually some controversy over whether or not self-affirmations have sufficient evidence to back up their use by psychologists since the 1920s. I do know that self-affirmations have helped me in the past, so I'll keep this one here for now.

Over 1,000 jobs lost as Rio Tinto shuts plant in New Zealand
At least more than than 1,000 jobs will be lost in New Zealand after mining giant Rio Tinto said it would close an aluminium plant.
Rio Tinto said in a statement that it will close it's smelter at the bottom of the South Island.
The company said that the New Zealand Aluminium Smelters (NZAS), at Tiwai Point will close in August 2021 after a strategic review found the business was not viable.
The smelter uses alumina from refineries in Queensland and Western Australia, and exports 90% of its product. It is also New Zealand's biggest consumer of electricity, using roughly 10% of the country's power, and one of the country's biggest single-site employers.
The smelter was given an exemption to continue operating through the Covid-19 lockdown, but the deteriorating outlook for aluminium use sealed its fate. A $NZ46m ($A43m) loss last year prompted a review of its operations, the company said.
Rio Tinto Aluminium's chief executive, Alf Barrios, said: "It is very unfortunate we could not find a solution with our partners to secure a power price reduction aimed at making NZAS a financially viable business," he said in a statement on Thursday.
New Zealand threatens to sue Rio Tinto after floods threatened toxic waste
Finance minister Grant Robertson said given the challenging economic situation caused by Covid-19 it was "disappointing" that Rio Tinto had decided to close the smelter, " especially given the support New Zealand has shown the company and how profitable they are globally".
"There is a degree of inevitability to the decision," Robertson said in a statement. "Since the smelter opened taxpayers have been subsidising Rio Tinto to keep it open, either directly or indirectly through cheaper power, and Emissions Trading Scheme allocations of over $48m per year. The company has made the decision not to keep operating without further subsidies."
Energy minister Megan Woods said the closure would eventually mean cheaper power for New Zealanders.
"Eventually, it will free up around 13% of total power generated in New Zealand which will relieve some pressure to build new generation. The increased supply will also have a positive impact on prices," Woods said. "It is disappointing that Rio Tinto is deciding to close one of the world's lowest-carbon aluminium smelters, in favour of keeping open coal plants."
NZAS said it contributed $NZ406m ($A381m) to the rural community of Southland's economy each year.
The job losses are devastating to Southland, and particularly the nearby city of Invercargill, where large industries and employment opportunities can be scarce.
The government said it expected the company would meet its obligations to clean up the site – at an estimated cost of NZ$256m – and "do the right thing" in handling the dross waste product.
Greenpeace executive director Dr Russel Norman said the closure would release a huge amount of low-carbon and affordable power back onto the grid, and blew any case for new coal, gas or oil development "completely out of the water".
"The argument for more fossil fuel exploration, extraction and generation is over," Norman said. "These companies haven't been looking out for the team of five million."
