Photographer Gillian Bowie in her studio at her "dream job" she secured at Premier Housewares following support from Momentum Skills' Work Choice programme.
A Paisley woman, who had been out of work for 15 months and found it difficult to get a job due to her hearing impairment, is back in the workplace thanks to the support provided by Momentum Skills' Work Choice programme.
Gillian Bowie, age 33, has secured her dream job as a photographer with a home furnishings business – despite facing barriers to employment due to communication problems and the need to use lip reading techniques.
Despite her self confidence being initially dented, Gillian is enjoying her new lease of life – work wise, socially and financially - thanks to the programme's coaching which has helped her get a full time role with Premier Housewares in Glasgow.
Gillian is a qualified photographer who had her own business focusing on the weddings market, but found that her communication difficulties meant it was difficult to win work. As a result she subsidised her business working in a bar. When she was made redundant from the bar, her confidence dropped and she found it difficult to get another job.
Gillian's employment support officer encouraged and supported her to take the first steps into the work environment again – and to focus on fulfilling her aspirations by utilising her skills to get a full time role behind the camera.
Work Choice is a Government supported employment programme designed to assist people with disabilities find and maintain employment. Work Choice also aims to support employers in employing more disabled people.
Gillian was assisted in a variety of ways including help to tailor her CV, contacting employers to negotiate on her behalf, brushing up her interview technique and her support worker attended her job interviews.
Gillian said: "Momentum Skills' Work Choice programme has been great for me. I had been looking for a full time job for 15 months but as soon as people read on my CV that I was deaf, they presume there will be insurmountable communication problems. This was a major setback to me, even in getting interviews for jobs.
Her new role involves photographing the wide product range at her employer – everything from toothbrushes to dining tables – which are then used in customer catalogues and websites. As this role was previously outsourced, Gillian had to quickly create her own studio from an empty room, and is now helping to develop the company's imaging department.
"I love what I am doing and it is very interesting photographing all the different products," said Gillian.
Momentum Skills delivers the Work Choice programme in the Paisley and Glasgow areas in partnership with the Scottish Association for Mental Health. It offers employers a tailored package of support, enabling them to offer work experience placements and job opportunities to disabled people participating in the programme.

Indonesia's local elections and the pandemic
By Dr Mada Sukmajati

election Election southeast-asia; indonesia Southeast Asia; Indonesia
Early this year, Indonesia was planning elections for regional heads in nine provinces, 224 districts and 37 municipalities on 23 September. Then Covid-19 happened.
Early this year, Indonesia was planning elections for regional heads in nine provinces, 224 districts and 37 municipalities on 23 September. Then Covid-19 happened. The elections have now been postponed to 9 December, but not without controversy.
What was the basis for the government's decision to delay the elections until December? Will election organisers be sufficiently prepared to prevent the elections from contributing to another spike in Covid-19 cases? How can the key democratic principles of electoral participation and contestation be maintained in the middle of a pandemic?
Between politics and the economy
Two months ago, when it was clear that Indonesia had not got a handle on Covid-19, many suggested the regional elections would be better off delayed until 2021, because of the high risk of worsening the spread of Covid-19. Indonesia's electoral bodies were divided. The General Elections Commission (KPU) wanted the elections to go ahead this year, while the Elections Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) said they should be delayed until 2021.
But the administration of Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and the national legislature (DPR) persisted with the plan to hold the elections on 9 December. The Ministry of Home Affairs said that the elections were a "national strategic program" and therefore had to be implemented as planned.
Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian also said that in addition to their political role, the elections would boost regional economic growth. This is consistent with Jokowi's position since the beginning of the pandemic, which has always emphasised economic recovery at the expense of strict disease control measures.
There is nothing inherently wrong with hoping for an economic boost from regional elections. However, focusing solely on the economic benefits of the election could lead to a lack of attention to the key values, principles and practices of democracy. It could lead to policymakers excusing the massive financial cost of holding the 2020 regional elections, or the large outlays made by individual candidates, and the widespread practices of "money politics" at the grassroots level. And it could make many more people sick.
Regulatory protections
There are several phases to the 2020 regional elections, beginning with the appointment of elections organisers at each level of administration and concluding with reporting and evaluation. At least two phases involve significant risks of increased transmission of Covid-19.
The first is the campaign period. In Indonesia, it is still common for campaigns to be held face-to-face, with a unidirectional flow of information from a candidate (or group of candidates) to the public. Campaign events are often held on a stage, sometimes accompanied by a dangdut show. The candidate's supporters might then be invited to ride in a convoy of motorcycles and cars along a main street. This enables a candidate to gather a mass of supporters and make a 'show of strength' to gather more support or intimidate rivals.
The second major risk event is, of course, voting day. While the KPU originally planned for each polling station (TPS) to serve up to 800 voters, it has revised its plans, proposing a new limit of 500 voters. But this is still a large number of people and will still result in crowding of electors as they wait to vote. There have been discussions about introducing electronic voting but the KPU has decided to continue with manual voting, stating that its systems are not yet ready for e-voting.
Regulations on managing Covid-19 are evolving quickly, and often differ between the central and regional governments. The KPU has published a regulation (No. 6 of 2020) to respond to the risk of worsening the Covid-19 outbreak during the elections. A number of provisions relate to the campaign period. These include a requirement for all campaign participants to keep a distance of one metre apart, requirements for personal protective equipment (such as masks, single use gloves, and face shields), and a rule that public meetings can only be held in areas the government has declared free from Covid-19. The KPU has also suggested that candidates conduct their campaigns online.
Similar protocols will be adopted for voting, such as providing single-use gloves and masks for voters who lack them, and regular disinfecting of equipment at the TPS. As a result of these new measures, the KPU has said that the 2020 regional elections will require an additional Rp 4.7 trillion (AU$453 million) to run.
Regulations are one thing – implementing them in the field is another. Even if election bodies issue strong health protocols to control the spread of Covid-19 will they be observed in the field? The public has not shown much discipline in adhering to existing government protocols for the control of Covid-19.
Given this situation, the Minister of Home Affairs Tito has called on KPU and Bawaslu to issue firm sanctions against violators, including disqualifying candidates who do not observe protocols. KPU regulations do stipulate sanctions for people who violate protocols, but it plans to just issue a warning to violators, and coordinate with Bawaslu to issue sanctions. Unfortunately, Bawaslu is yet to release its regulations on supervision of the 2020 regional elections. It remains to be seen whether it will support clear and firm sanctions. If Bawaslu elects to leave this up to other existing regulations, then the process is likely to be ineffective.
Contestation and participation
In March, Bawaslu released its Election Vulnerability Index (IKP). In this report it identified several issues of potential concern: low voter turnout, partisanship of civil servants, lack of integrity and professionalism of election organisers, violations of electoral rules by candidates, and money politics.
These are the typical problems faced in every previous election – and government and elections organisers have never been able to find meaningful solutions to them. But there are several new concerns directly related to Covid-19.
One of these is the potential for social assistance (bantuan social, or bansos) to be misused for campaign activities, particularly by incumbents. Bansos is aid in the form of money or goods from the local government to local citizens. Bawaslu has identified several examples of social aid being politicised, for example, social aid being delivered with a photo of the regional leader or political party symbols. Without serious efforts to stop this, it will only get worse as voting day approaches.
In fact, there is enormous potential for an explosion in vote buying given that many Indonesian citizens have seen their personal finances suffer as a result of the pandemic. This will have significant impact for the quality of participation in the 2020 regional head elections.
There is much to be done to guarantee that local elections can be run successfully despite Covid-19 – efficiently, cleanly, safely, and with the active participation of all citizens. Efforts to strengthen the integrity and competency of election organisers are always essential, but even more so in the face of a global pandemic. Voters should not be left out of these efforts either. Political education and awareness is crucial at a time when candidates will try to take advantage of the pandemic to secure votes.
The government has not performed well so far in its response to Covid-19. Let's hope that has changed by 9 December, and people can choose their new leaders without risking their lives.

How do you show someone that you love them? You are willing to give up everything that you have got to make their life better. You would "walk over hot coals". You would take on their pain rather than watch them suffer. You would give up your comfort for theirs. You would give your all.
14And the Son of Man must be lifted up, just as that metal snake was lifted up by Moses in the desert. 15Then everyone who has faith in the Son of Man will have eternal life. 16God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die. 17God did not send his Son into the world to condemn its people. He sent him to save them! 18No one who has faith in God's Son will be condemned. But everyone who doesn't have faith in him has already been condemned for not having faith in God's only Son.
19The light has come into the world, and people who do evil things are judged guilty because they love the dark more than the light. 20People who do evil hate the light and won't come to the light, because it clearly shows what they have done. 21But everyone who lives by the truth will come to the light, because they want others to know that God is really the one doing what they do.
God loved the people of this world so much – enough to give his only special son (Tom Wright p 84). And anyone who believes in what he is doing can share in the new thing God is doing. God doesn't want to write us off, he would so much rather save us. God doesn't send his son, so that people are condemned, or feel bad about themselves when measured up to him. Rather he has come to rescue us from ourselves, and give us the opportunity to be part of God's new work. There is wrath in God, but that isn't how he wants to deal with us, he wants to love us, and makes it possible through giving his son. Everyone who believes in him can receive that.
Whoever you are, whatever you have or haven't done – God loves you – yes you!
Today, let that sink in. God loves you enough to give up everything for you, even his very self, his special son. Take some time with him, let yourself be wrapped in that love and feel it, let it soak through you, touch you where you need it free you and give his peace.

How scammers run rings round eBay
Buyers fleeced, eBay practically powerless
By Ken Young 16 Nov 2004 at 16:15
Everyone knows that buying and selling on eBay is precarious. Even eBay admits this and gives basic advice on its site that it believes helps eliminate most fraud.
But there appears to be a basic weakness in eBay's system that fraudsters and petty thieves are exploiting. It occurs when buyers pay sellers direct into the sellers' bank account by cheque or cash. The following is a real example that occurred in September this year (names withheld for legal reasons). Let's call the buyer Tom and the seller Harry.
Tom won the bid for a mobile phone and agreed to pay Harry (who lives 80 miles away from Tom) £185 plus £6 insurance using cash at a branch of Harry's bank. A few days later a box arrived. It contained a battery charger and an earplug, but no phone. Tom informed Harry who said that he believed someone at the post office must have stolen the phone and that he would look into it.
Days passed and Tom then asked Harry to claim on the insurance. Harry said he had lost the insurance slip and would instead refund 50 per cent of the £185. A week passed and Tom called Harry to say no payment had been received and that he was losing his patience and would report the matter to eBay.
Harry made more excuses and stopped answering his mobile phone. Over the next few weeks they spoke occasionally but Harry refused to send any money and blamed Tom for his removal from eBay (subsequent to Tom informing eBay of his loss). Tom contacted Harry's bank but the bank refused to provide Harry's address. Tom only knows Harry's mobile phone number and Hotmail email address.
In summary, Tom spent £196 on a phone that never arrived and he is not alone. As a result of basic research for this story we have been contacted by five people who have experienced similar scams (their stories, in emails, are copied below). The fact is it appears far too easy for this scam to be perpetrated.
Pattern of fraud
The pattern is all too predictable. Buyers and sellers agree not to go through the more secure PayPal system because it costs more to do so. So buyers take the risk of sending the money to the seller who either doesn't send the goods or sends shoddy or fake goods. The sellers protect themselves against prosecution by claiming loss, or disputing the buyer's version of events. The amounts involved - though not insignificant to the buyer - are too small for eBay to want to take the matter further.
There is one other common factor in all these stories. Though the buyers report the matter to eBay they are invariably frustrated at standard email responses and being steered towards a mediation system which costs the buyer £15 and even then may or may not lead to resolution. Alternatively, sellers can claim compensation through eBay and may get a maximum of £105 - if they claim between 30 and 90 days after the event and meet the criteria for payment. In our example above Tom made a claim last month and is still waiting.
A common refrain is: "Should I report this to the police? eBay are not replying to my emails about this and I don't know if the police are aware or not. What should I do?"
eBay declined an interview in relation to this story but instead issued a statement:
"eBay takes the issue of fraud very seriously and investigates every case of fraud reported to it. eBay currently has over 1,000 people worldwide with backgrounds in law enforcement, customer support, advanced computer engineering and analysis dedicated to making eBay one of the safest places to trade online and, in the UK, employs an ex-Scotland Yard officer as liaison point for law enforcement agencies.
"The majority of transactions on the eBay site are completely secure and without incident. Approximately 0.01 per cent of transactions end in a confirmed case of fraud."
This means that for every million transactions, 100 are 'confirmed' fraudulent, though the criteria for this confirmation are not available. Any security consultant will say that is an acceptable level of risk and way below fraud levels on credit cards. Not surprisingly, eBay therefore does not advise people specifically not to pay by cheque or cash payment into a seller's bank account.
On the eBay website its 'top tips' state that sellers should ideally use secure payment systems like PayPal (which offers greater levels of protection, though still limited if the seller has little or no track record) and should NOT use money transfer services "like Western Union".
But aside from telling buyers to be wary it does not tell buyers NOT to send cheques or pay directly into sellers' bank accounts (either by money transfer or using cash at a bank branch). Clearly it believes that most such transactions are safe and therefore if the buyer assesses the risk as low, then why not?
Many eBay users may agree - it's 'caveat emptor' applied to the world of online car boot sales. But when Steve Gold, a security consultant, celebrity ex-hacker (he co-hacked the Duke of Edinburgh's Prestel mailbox), and former accountant also gets hit by such a scam you begin to wonder how the mass of eBay's users are avoiding getting stung and whether the 0.01 per cent figure is an accurate reflection of the amount fraud occurring.
Gold, an experienced eBay user, reports that he bought a hard drive for £63 from a man who never sent the item. After weeks of the usual hassle he used 192.com to track the man down to confront him. The seller - somewhat shocked to see his 'victim' - pleaded poverty and illness and apologized profusely. Gold admitted defeat safe in the knowledge that at least he had confronted his fraudster and learnt a useful - if painful - lesson.
He now says he uses a mixture of web tools to check out sellers. He pays 192.com £25 per 100 enquiries to get addresses from phone numbers; he uses maporama.com to check out locations of sellers; and he admits he is more cautious than ever.
"eBay is caught with its pants down," he says. "They are neglecting their customers; they should make a shed load of information available to help people to avoid this." Like others Gold says he hit a brick wall when he tried to get other bodies involved: "I went to trading standards - they weren't interested. I even compiled a dossier on the seller and sent it to his local police force. Subsequently they told me they were aware of eBay fraud but don't deal with it." Gold believes the level of fraud on eBay is higher than the 0.01 per cent figure given: "But how can we tell? eBay won't reveal the real figures so we have no way of knowing."
He has a point. Credit card fraud has been reduced over the years by greater public awareness over the levels and types of fraud occurring. eBay is relying on sellers to be 'careful' but the question for the regulatory authorities remains: Is eBay doing enough to protect its users? Those who lose out as a result of this type of scam certainly think not.
Clearly eBay cannot be held responsible for dishonesty among sellers but perhaps it could do a lot more to warn people how easy it is for petty criminals to exploit our desire for a bargain. Maybe it is time for an independent body to track complaints against the system so that buyers can get a better picture of the types and frequency of frauds occurring. ®
Below are a selection of emails from others defrauded via eBay. Names have been omitted for legal reasons:
I was cheated out of £200 when I tried to buy an ipod. I corresponded with the seller, who seemed friendly until I sent my money and he clammed up. I got emails from another apparent victim, who also was a bit shy of giving out his contact details. I suspect the second person was the first in disguise. Top cap it all, the seller gave a bank account for me to deposit the money, which I did, but it turned out that his identity was totally fake - in fact it was someone else's ID. So he had used a real ID (not his own), to open not one but three accounts at Nationwide to use for fake eBay transactions. I contacted the police but the trail went cold. I did manage to get Nationwide to close the accounts down They said he had been taking money out as soon as it hit the account. I tried to contact eBay with the details, saying the guy wasn't returning my emails, they responded with an email saying "why don't you try our arbitration service." I emailed them asking how I could do that if the guy won't respond to me. They replied saying they were sorry about that but maybe I should try their arbitration service. I then asked how I could claim on their insurance policy to reimburse defrauded customers, and they simply replied advising me to try their arbitration service.
I bought a couple of Tiffany items - from different sellers - for my niece last Christmas. One item was fine - the other was a fake. The girl who sold it handled it perfectly. She was very chatty (by email) and was 'touched' when I told her the thing was intended as a gift for my niece etc..... Anyway, when my niece received the item, it was obviously a fake. We did consult Tiffany, who confirmed that they hadn't ever manufactured a piece in that style. I got back on to her and her response was something not so far short of f off - but without the swear words. I was furious. I contemplated forms of retribution. I did, however, go thru the Safe Harbour system but with no success. I later made a claim from eBay but it was such a long-winded process that i kind of forgot to finish it off. So I just lost the money. From my experience I'd suggest eBay needs to sort out its claims policy. It's such a hassle that it really is off-putting. I still use eBay but without the same enthusiasm.
I have a reseller friend who was a victim of an eBay scam, and to add insult to injury not only did they steal his card details on a non-existent transaction, they sent him a brick through the post to rub salt into that wound.

What Job Will Your CS Degree Actually Get You?
Jobs Software Development Talent Generation
What is a computer scientist? If you're like most people, you probably assume they're all computer geeks with coke-bottle glasses who stare at endless lines of code all day. In reality, however, most jobs available to CS majors involve no programming at all.
This article presents five non-programming jobs that your CS degree will get you.
CYBER SECURITY SPECIALIST
Cybersecurity specialists are IT professionals trained to protect computers and networks from unauthorized access. "They analyze where these risks are and develop strategies to prevent breaches. Cybersecurity specialists fight against cybercriminals, people who use the internet and various hacking methods to steal sensitive or private information from computers," notes Neuvoo.
From ethical hackers to Chief Information Officers, cybersecurity professionals fill a wide variety of roles. In fact, Cybersecurity Ventures recently published a list of fifty unique positions within the security field. What's more, the company predicts by 2021 there will be 3.5 million job openings for cybersecurity professionals. Needless to say, this creates abound opportunity for anyone interested in this line of work.
While computer science grads are favored, high demand means individuals with professional certifications in security also make strong applicants. The average salary hovers around $110,000, however, Forbes says top-tier professionals make as much as $380,000.
DATABASE ADMIN
Experts estimate that we create roughly 2.5 quintillion bytes of new data every day. For perspective, that's enough information to fill 10 million Blu-ray discs. Unsurprisingly, this already staggering figure is forecast to balloon as the number of internet devices skyrocket.
Database administrators are the IT professionals responsible for maintaining and protecting the complex computer systems that organizations use to store the data they collect. Traditionally, DB admins - or DBAs - have used relational database software from MySQL, Microsoft, and Oracle for their systems. However, in recent years NoSQL systems like MongoDB, CouchDB, and Redis have surged in popularity.
Entry-level positions typically require professional certification in addition to a Bachelors in information systems or computer science. Depending on the specific specialty, a DBA's salary can range from $50,000 - $138,000, with the median around $90,000. What's more, stats published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics predict "faster than average" job growth for the foreseeable future.
In an age when even a few minutes of downtime can cost millions, network administrators help businesses, institutions, and governments stay connected to each other. Network professionals are responsible for ensuring computer networks stay updated and function as designed. A network admin oversees everything from installing network applications to configuring servers, routers, and switches.
While it's not uncommon for smaller organizations to employee administrators to oversee networks and traditional systems, larger organizations tend to separate the two roles. Reporting suggests hiring managers prefer network admins with a degree in computer science, information systems, or a similar high tech field. However, due to demand, it's not uncommon to find admins with professional certifications but no college degree. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the median salary for network admins is $82,050.
SYSTEM, NETWORK, SOFTWARE, OR SECURITY ARCHITECT
Typically, administrators are tasked with maintaining their respective systems while architects are responsible for the initial design and deployment. These professionals use their expansive IT expertise to recommend the equipment and design methodologies require for a specific outcome. In addition to networks and databases, IT architects can specialize in domains such as hardware, software, or security.
No matter their particular specialty, in the end, architects are responsible for designing robust and reliable solutions that organizations can count on. Senior-level architects are responsible for large scale projects that help entire companies meet long-term goals and objectives. Entry-level architects tend to oversee shorter-lived, departmental projects. According to PayScale, the median yearly salary for an IT architect is $108,000.
COMPUTER SCIENCE TEACHER
The number of K-12 schools that provide access to computer science classes in growing every year. And with that expansion comes an increased demand for qualified teachers. "Computer science teachers educate students on how computers work, from the basic science and mathematics behind their operation to the actual hardware and the software built on those foundations... They teach students to write computer programs, algorithms, and even programming languages; computer systems design is also covered," per Study.com.
American school teachers usually have a degree in education or the specific subject they're interested in teaching. The average salary of a high-school level CS teacher is around $57,200.

and when I add a semicolon ;, and continue typing, I would like something along the lines of the following:
hello world;how are you?
I've tried something along the lines of:
var newRun = new Run();
paragraph.Inlines.InsertAfter(paragraph.Inlines.LastInline, newRun);
CaretPosition = newRun.ElementEnd;

but the newly created run seems to not be the one I'm typing into (I don't know if it just doesn't exist, or I'm just not typing into it).
Does anybody know a good way around this problem?
Update: Works with a run with default text.
I've noticed that if I create a run:
var newRun = new Run(" ")

then it will work, but there are cases in which I would prefer to not add a space.  Any insight?

A: Try changing the line :
CaretPosition = newRun.ElementEnd;

To:
CaretPosition = newRun.ContentEnd;

Born in Canada in 1959, Ron Kingswood's love of both nature and painting traces back to frequent hunting trips he took throughout northern Ontario with his father. At the age of nine, Kingswood began painting with watercolors, depicting the animals he observed on these trips in the detailed, illustrative style that characterized traditional wildlife painting in North America. This style saw him through high school, his formal art education at the H.B. Beal Secondary School in Ontario, and his earliest commercial successes. However, Kingswood's works underwent a radical change in the mid-1980s. Kingswood moved from acrylic to oil paint, adopting a new concern with large format canvases, and, most significantly, switched from representational realism to a distinctly impressionistic approach.
Kingswood defines this approach – which he calls "susceptivism" – as an expression of a deeply emotional reaction to color, something the artist finds more challenging and personally satisfying than his earlier style. Though the natural world is still at the heart of the works, Kingswood's paintings now reflect a greater emphasis on color and design than on subject matter. Negative space and gestural markings suggest light and atmosphere; off-center focal points give the wildlife a sense of being just glimpsed; and the large canvases draw viewers into works that are experienced as much as they are viewed. The resulting expressions of movement, energy, and emotion offer a unique view of nature itself.
Nature has always been the only teacher, not other individuals. There is a single universal content that we use which is shrouded in form. I tend to perceive nature as form and structure.
Kingswood's works are in such collections as the London Regional Art Museum, Ontario, Canada; London Regional Historical Museum, London, England; Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, Wisconsin; the World Wildlife Fund, Zurich, Switzerland; and the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson Hole, Wyoming. His paintings have also been featured in the magazines Wildlife Art and Southwest Art. Kingswood is a contributor to the Woodson Art Museum's Birds in Art exhibit, and his works have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout Canada and the United States. Kingswood currently lives and works in Sparta, Ontario.

Charity rice dumpling sale spreads care to the community
The kick-off ceremony of a charity rice dumpling sale was held today (May 28) to call on people to help those in need while they are enjoying their delicious rice dumplings.
The charity sale is jointly organised by the Correctional Services Department (CSD) and Ocean Empire Food Shop to raise fund for the Prisoners' Education Trust Fund. The event also aims at calling on the community to care for offenders and support their studies as they have to prepare themselves for re-integration into society.
Ocean Empire Food Shop has donated 2,000 rice dumplings and donors who bought these dumplings will pass them to inmates, rehabilitated offenders and Oi Kwan Volunteer Group composed of CSD staff and their family members, for their distribution to homes for the aged and single elderly as well as special schools. Eventually, a total of 2,000 people from various sectors will be benefited from the care given by the community.
Speaking at the kick-off ceremony, the Commissioner of Correctional Services, Mr Sin Yat-kin pointed out: "Public acceptance and support are important elements for rehabilitated offenders to re-integrate into society. The Correctional Services Department therefore always appeals for public acceptance of rehabilitated offenders through public education, publicity and organising promotional activities. The donation of all income raised by Ocean Empire Food Shop from the sale of these rice dumplings to the Prisoners' Education Trust Fund is one of the examples responding to our calls. The Trust Fund is mainly used on providing offenders educational resources and financial assistance in their studies. "
"The department is celebrating the 90th anniversary and 'Give Rehabilitated Offenders A Chance' is our main publicity theme this year. Offenders also want to contribute to the community and show their determination to rehabilitate. I hope the public can give them a chance to show their talent and contribute in building a harmonious community together with you. "
Managing Director of Ocean Empire Food Shop, Mr Caecage Siu, said most of the rehabilitated offenders he met were willing to learn and hard-working. He had also seen many examples of rehabilitated offenders successfully reintegrated into society. Mr Siu called on the public to believe in the determination of the offenders to change and give them a chance to turn a new leaf.
Apart from the presentation of souvenirs to those who had donated more than $5,000 in the charity sale, the kick-off ceremony included rice dumplings-making competition among artistes, performances by Hong Kong Scout Orchestra and various singers, appeal made by Rehabilitation Ambassador, Mr Chan King-yin, sharing talks of beneficiaries; djembe performance by Cape Collinson Correctional Institution and magic show.
Officiating guests at the ceremony were the Chairman of Advisory Board of Yan Chai Hospital, Mrs Tang Yew Zoe-chi and the wife of Secretary for Security, Mrs Susan Lee.

Home Columns Students Graduate From Pole Fitness Discovery
Students Graduate From Pole Fitness Discovery
By Cara Van Dijk
Five women, ranging in age from 16-50 years, came out of the reclusive pandemic world and entered a new and safe space to learn more about themselves and how they can thrive. By name alone, "pole fitness" may not seem like a practice of self-discovery, however, that's exactly what these women – once all strangers – found by the time they graduated from the eight-week course at Hot Yoga Plus Palm Springs.
"We were all feeling a little lost and not connected with ourselves," said Kylie Sedillos, a 25-year-old, who is pursuing a career in health and wellness. "But, we bonded with each other. The class really showed me my potential strength and that I can pretty much do anything."
Pole fitness combines aerobic and strength training with self-awareness to burn calories quickly, improve flexibility, develop kinesthetic awareness and reduce stress. Although pole fitness is not a new way to exercise, it is fresh to the Coachella Valley, as Pole Fitness Discovery is the only offering like it in the area. Annmarie Lynn, owner Hot Yoga Plus Palm Springs, happened upon adding pole fitness to her studio's varied schedule, when she was offered a dance pole that was removed from the former Zelda's Nightclub as it was being transformed into the new Desert Rose Playhouse.
"At first, when they offered me the pole, I just thought it sounded kind of novel," said Annmarie. "But I had done some pole fitness, so I researched it further and saw the potential of this full discovery experience that isn't offered anywhere else in the area."
Annmarie partnered with Leslie Gerber and Chelsea Carter, additional pole fitness instructors, to create this special eight-week course, which introduced students to pole fitness as well as body expression, chakra awareness, meditation, dance, trapeze yoga and more. Students enrolled in the workshop are able to participate in all other classes offered at the studio, which allows them to learn more about their fitness interests and keep them moving and motivated during the two months.
"Once students embrace pole fitness, the physical strength transcends into an amazing inner strength and self confidence that supports people in all areas of their lives," said Annmarie. "The past eight weeks have been amazing to watch these women find themselves. We have all learned something during this journey."
Each student joined the class for different reasons and goals. Most women who joined the first session were looking for a fun way to get active again, after being more sedentary during the pandemic. After the eight weeks, all students admit that Pole Fitness Discovery health benefits go beyond strength training.
"There was a good energy in the class," said Abby Galindo, a 16-year-old student who drove from the east valley to participate. "I enjoyed every session and every class I took, like meditation and yoga as well. It was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about myself."
"It's a very mind, body and soul experience," said Sedillos, who enjoyed the classes so much that she purchased a pole to install in her own home. "It's one of my passions, I found."
Recently wrapping up the first eight-week workshop, Pole Fitness Discovery held its first graduation ceremony on July 11. Family members and friends were invited for a final performance by each of the participants and an official graduation ceremony to mark the women's achievements. Rajashree Choudhury, world-renowned yogi, who taught several meditation sessions during the course, presented the graduation certificates with Annmarie.
As one session wraps, a new Pole Fitness Discovery session will begin on July 25. The workshop is limited to only 10 people, who will meet on Sundays from 2-5 p.m. Applications are now available at https://hotyogapluspalmsprings.com/pole-fitness. After the application is submitted, Annmarie speaks to each potential student to discuss whether the Pole Fitness Discovery is a good fit.
Private pole fitness classes are also available by contacting the student. Hot Yoga Plus is also offering private burlesque classes, taught by Caitlin Litzinger. These classes as well as other offerings at Hot Yoga Plus have become popular themes for bachelorette parties, birthday parties and other special occasions. Hot Yoga Plus offers various party packages, all hosted at the Palm Springs location.
Two poles are installed in a beautiful studio space that looks out to Mount San Jacinto through a full wall of glass. At night, the room can change dramatically with colored, disco-style lights and high energy music on stereo surround sound. The exercise space is equip with a unique padded, sweat-proof floor that is easily sanitized. A state-of-the-art steam room, well-appointed locker rooms, a shopping boutique, plus private yoga and massage options are just a few elements of the spa-like studio.
Hot Yoga Plus Palm Springs is located at 611 S. Palm Canyon Drive (in the same shopping center as the Revivals resale store). For more information about Pole Fitness Discovery or Hot Yoga Plus Palm Springs, visit https://hotyogapluspalmsprings.com or call 760-832-8655.

Q: Validation attributed is cached I have following code in custom validation attribute called DateRange:
    private DateTime _minDate = DateTime.Today.AddYears(-100);
    private DateTime _maxDate = DateTime.MaxValue;

    // String representation of the Min Date (yyyy/MM/dd)
    public string Min
    {
        get { return FormatDate(_minDate, DateTime.Today.AddYears(-100)); }
        set { _minDate = value == "Today" ? DateTime.Today : ParseDate(value, DateTime.Today.AddYears(-100)); }
    }
    // String representation of the Max Date (yyyy/MM/dd)
    public string Max
    {
        get { return FormatDate(_maxDate, DateTime.MaxValue); }
        set { _maxDate = value == "Today" ? DateTime.Today : ParseDate(value, DateTime.MaxValue); }
    }

Then I write this attribute in metadata on some property of entity model like this:
[DateRange(Max = "Today")]
public string SomeDateProperty { get; set; };

I set breakpoint on Max property's getter. First time I open view, breakpoint is activated and DateTime.Today is got. Consequent refresh of the view does not activate breakpoint and old value is got. I think it's caching validation attribute. My question is: Is this because of caching? If it is, then how to disable it? Thanks in advance

A: The constructor for the custom attributes only get hit once, no idea how to turn off any sort of caching. The way I got round this for my scenario, was to only deal with the date calculation in the "IsValid" Method.
I created a date in the past attribute, that needed the date to be in the past, but you could set how long in the past was valid.
public class DateInPastAttribute : ValidationAttribute
{
    private const string DefaultErrorMessage = "'{0}' must be in the past.";

    public int DaysInPastAllowed { get; set; }

    public DateInPastAttribute(int daysInPastAllowed)
        : base(DefaultErrorMessage)
    {
        this.DaysInPastAllowed = daysInPastAllowed;
    }

    public override bool IsValid(object value)
    {
        if (!(value is DateTime))
        {
            return true;
        }

        DateTime maxDate = DateTime.Now;
        DateTime minDate = maxDate.AddDays(this.DaysInPastAllowed * -1);

        DateTime dateValue = (DateTime)value;
        return
            minDate <= dateValue &&
            dateValue <= maxDate;
    }

    public override string FormatErrorMessage(string name)
    {
        return string.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, this.ErrorMessageString, name);
    }
}

You can then use it in your view model like this:
[DateInPast(365)]
public DateTime DateReceived { get; set; }

Which would allow a date to be entered within the last year. You could amend this for the scenario that you require.

The Jeu de paume, Paris, will present a new exhibition entitled Fields by Michal Rovner from October 3, 2005 through January 8, 2005. Fields, Rovner's first museum exhibition in France, will open at the same time the 2005 Festival d'Automne, the annual citywide arts celebration, features Fields of Fire, a new collaboration between Michal Rovner and German composer Heiner Goebbels. Fields of Fire was commissioned specifically for the festival.
Fields consists of 18 works created over the past fifteen years, beginning with Rovner's earliest uses of the moving images will be projected in the museum's auditorium. Among these will be the 1993 film, Border, "a fictional documentary", as she refers to it, shot along the Israeli-Lebanese border.
The exhibition will also include Rovner's well-known video installation, Time Left, first seen in Michal Rovner: The Space Between, a 2002 mid-career retrospective held at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Data Zone, a series of works which combined sculpture and video and were featured in Against Order? Against Disorder?, the acclaimed solo exhibition in the Israeli Pavilion at the 50th International Art Exhibition of the 2003 Venice Biennale, have been brought together again for the first time since that exhibit. More recent large scale installations, such as Tablets and The Well have also been loaned to the exhibition.
In addition to these works, Rovner has collaborated with Heiner Goebbels, the acclaimed composer, to create a major new installation: Fields of Fire. In association with the Festival d'Automne à Paris, the Jeu de paume has commissioned this work which stems from the artists 2004 journey across Central Asia. At her final stop on that journey, a remote oil drilling camp in Kazakhstan, she found and filmed the elements from which she generated this work.
Occupying its own room on the 1st floor of the museum, Fields of Fire represents a new direction for Rovner. Over the past decade, the artist has developed a kind of vocabulary using images of human form and motion. Using these elements she composes her work, much the way an author uses words and phrases to compose prose or verse. These assemblies coalesce to reveal the most fundamental human themes, giving them tangible form even as the subjects themselves dissolve toward the edge of abstraction.
Fields of Fire demonstrates the same facility with a subject which itself hovers between various states of animation and abstraction; fire. In the work, Rovner harnesses the ethereal, yet voracious nature of her subject to create a new kind of landscape. As the image changes, alternatively recalling the fluid ink brush of Soong and T'ang dynasty landscapes and the hyperkinetic pen of the seismograph, the notion of landscape is transformed from the symbol of constancy to an engine of metamorphosis.
Michal Rovner (b. 1957, Israel) studied cinema, television, and philosophy at Tel-Aviv University and received a B.F.A. in photography and art at the Bezalel Academy. In 1978 she co-founded Tel Aviv's Camera Obscura Art School for studies in photography, video, cinema, and computer art. Ten years later, she moved to New York City.
Some of many Rovner's video installations include Overhang (2000), a site-specific installation at the Chase Manhattan Bank on Park Avenue in New York City; Overhanging (1999) at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Mutual Interest (1997) at the Tate Gallery, London, the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and P.S.1, New York (1999). Her films have been screened internationally at several museums. Notes (2001), a collaboration with composer Philip Glass, was screened at the Lincoln Center Festival 2001, New York and the Barbican Theater, London. Rovner's film Border (1997) premiered at the Museum of Modern Art, New York and received over a dozen subsequent screenings at major international venues including the Tate Gallery, London; The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
Michal Rovner's work is in several permanent collections worldwide including: The Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Musée de l'Élysée, Lausanne; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among others.
In contributing to the production of the "Fields" exhibition, LVMH / Moët Hennessy . Louis Vuitton is marking its commitment to encouraging contemporary creations and helping the wider public in Paris to discover Michal Rovner and her works.
Michal Rovner is an artist whose private path and works are at the crossroads between several different cultures. With this spirit of reciprocity and exchange in mind, in 2004, LVMH commissioned Michal Rovner and several other artists from the contemporary international scene, to produce a special video creation for the lobby of its head office in Paris, 22 avenue Montaigne.
In 2005, this example of its patronage comes against the backdrop of a year particularly rich in cultural matters. Last June, LVMH made possible the creation of Casino, a work created by Annette Messager for the French Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, which won a Golden Lion award, while this Autumn it is lending its support to the "Klimt, Schiele, Moser, Kokoschka, Vienne 1900" exhibition at the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, the "Robert Malaval, kamikaze" exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo and the events surrounding the reopening of the French Cinemathèque in Bercy. For almost fifteen years, the patronage of LVMH has contributed to the presentation of eighteen major national exhibitions in Paris, helped numerous artistic creations in both the musical and arts fields to get off the ground and spread their influence across France and the world, and even contributed to the "The Impressionist Treasures of the French National Collections" exhibition in Peking, Shanghai and Hong Kong, as part of the France - China Years in 2004 - 2005.
LVMH's patronage approach towards culture, artistic heritage and contemporary creation is aimed at promoting and sharing the values of excellence and creativity that are behind the economic success of its Houses all over the world.

Church confirms same-sex marriages
The bishops of The Norwegian Church (Den Norske Kirke) announced on Friday that they had given their blessing to the creation of a new liturgy for use in marriage ceremonies between people of the same sex. Advocates of chuch-recognized homosexual marriage called it "an historic breakthrough."
The move was expected, after church elections in September resulted in a majority favouring same-sex marriage that will be present at next year's annual church meeting, when the issue will be taken up. The bishops' approval of a new liturgy, however, is an important step in the process.
Archbishop Helga Haugland Byfuglien said that homosexuals will thus be allowed to marry in their local church. That means all churches in Norway must offer homosexual marriage ceremonies. Pastors and other church employees who object, however, should be able to reserve themselves against taking part in such marriage ceremonies, according to the bishops.
"We are very happy about this, it's an historic breakthrough," said Sturla Stålsett, a pastor and leader of the organization Åpen folkekirke (Open People's Church), which has supported homosexual marriage in the church. Homosexuals have been married in civil ceremonies in Norway for many years.

...some of those actors (like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gene Hackman) were also HUGE cigar aficionados.
...and Rocky wound up developing a love for cigar smoking by spending time with the actors between takes and started to try to learn everything he could about the industry.
Guess what he did next?
He sold his legal practice and spent five years in Honduras working and learning the cigar trade...including field and barn work!!!
The Rocky Patel Decade achieved a classic 95 rating from Cigar Aficionado! At the time, they called it a "masterpiece" and to be honest, I couldn't agree more.
The Decade is one of my all time favorites and I just smoked one this morning!

So, yes, it's the day after Christmas, and yes, I have tons of new toys to review. However, I am away from my usual photo shooting set-up, so the Christmas stuff won't actually be reviewed until the 31st. Bear with me. In the mean time, here's our regularly scheduled programming!
One line that I am surprised I haven't talked about more on this site is Micronauts. Before I was firmly on the Minimates train, there were few lines that filled me with as much joy as Micronauts. For those of you that don't know, Micronauts began its life as a Japanese toyline called Henshin Cyborg, which were actually the Japanese equivalent of the original GI Joes. Toymaker Takara decided to make a line of smaller scale figures, called Microman. In 1976, US toymaker Mego decided to import the line under the title Micronauts. The figures are some of the earliest 3 ¾ inch figures, and they ended up having quite a few lasting contributions to toys in general, even if the Micronauts themselves may not be as widely remembered. Today, I'll be taking a look at one of the line's heroic characters, the Space Glider!
The Space Glider was released in the first series of Mego's Micronauts line. He was available in three different colors: Blue, Green, and Yellow. In case you couldn't tell from the pictures, the one being reviewed is blue. The Space Glider is about 3 ¾ inches tall and he has 16 points of articulation. It's also worth noting that, aside from the head and hands, the whole figure is made from die cast metal. It means the figure is pretty darn sturdy, and he has quite a bit of heft to him. Space Glider was an import of the Super Steel Microman M21X, from the Microman line. His sculpt is essentially the same. While the sculpt does show its age a bit, it's certainly well done for the time. The torso and arms have lots of hard angles, which look really good. His head is a great, generic "70s space hero" look, although the vac-metalizing has made some of the details a little soft. This figure has some definite style to it, which really makes it stand out. The paint work on the Space Glider is fairly basic, but well done. All of the blue areas are done with a very nice metallic sheen, and the color is nice and evenly applied. Everything else is pretty much just molded in the proper color, but it looks good. The Space Glider included a helmet and a wingpack, both of which are sadly missing from mine.
I got the Space Glider from the Antique Depot, an antique store not far from where I live. I saw him while walking through during Ellicott City's annual Midnight Madness event. The Space Glider has long been my favorite of Micronauts figure, but I had never had one of the originals. With some light prodding from my friends Tim and Jill, I purchased the figure. The Space Glider really holds up. He's a really strong figure, and he's just a lot of fun!

Q: How to authenticate our .NET console application against SharePoint online if we have `DisableCustomAppAuthentication` set to true We have the following:-

*

*SharePoint online tenant recently created

*Windows server 2019

*.NET console application which have some code that integrates with SharePoint online

*The .NET console application runs on schedule basis using windows task scheduler.

now previously on old tenants i authenticate my code using this method by passing the ClientID and Client Secret:-
      static void Main(string[] args)
              {

                  string siteUrl = "https://***.sharepoint.com/sites/CustomerServiceKB/";
                  string clientId = "******";
                  string clientSecret = "*****";
                  using (ClientContext context = new OfficeDevPnP.Core.AuthenticationManager().GetAppOnlyAuthenticatedContext(siteUrl, clientId, clientSecret))

                  {

but on our newly created tenant we can not authenticate our code using the above method, because we have the DisableCustomAppAuthentication set to true.. now we do not want to modify this property.
So our question is; if we have the DisableCustomAppAuthentication set to true (ans we do not want to set it to false), then how we can authenticate our console application? which is hosted inside our windows server and which runs on schedule basis using tasks scheduler ?

A: So the DisableCustomAppAuthentication property was brought in (and was set to true by default) to support the deprecation of the Azure Access Control Service (ACS). The modern way to authenticate custom apps in Sharepoint tenants is to register them in the Azure AD.
Before moving on, consider the pros and cons of switching to the new authentication scheme. Mainly, the ACS enables users to granularly control site-level permissions for the application authentication, but Azure AD app registration makes the set of running applications transparent to the administrators. If you want to stay with ACS, just set the DisableCustomAppAuthentication to false.
Now, if you decided to move on with registering the application in the Azure ID, here are the steps to follow:

*

*Log in to the Azure portal and navigate to the Azure Active Directory.

*Register the application in the Azure AD portal. Here's a guide on how to do it. Obtain the application (client) ID on the application overview page.

*Set all the necessary permissions, confirm them as a global administrator (or ask the administrator for confirmation).

*Configure the authentication. Choose the authentication option: whether you want the application to authenticate itself in the Microsoft IAM via a cryptographic certificate or a client secret.

*Obtain your Azure Active Directory tenant ID (not to be confused with the Sharepoint Online tenant ID). Here's how to do in in the Azure AD; there's also a hacky way.

*Now use the client ID (from step 2), the authentication option (step 4), and the AAD tenant ID (step 5) to authenticate and run your application:
  using Microsoft.Identity.Client;

  [..]

  private static async Task<string> GetToken()
  {
      string applicationId = "client-id";
      string tenantId = "aad-tenant-id";
      bool isUsingClientSecret = <true or false>;

      IConfidentialClientApplication app;

      if (isUsingClientSecret)
      {
          string secret = "secret";
          app = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(applicationId)
              .WithClientSecret(secret)
              .WithAuthority($"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId}")
              .Build();
      }

      else
      {
          string certificateLocation = "certificate-file";
          X509Certificate2 certificate = ReadCertificate(certificateLocation);
          app = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(applicationId)
              .WithCertificate(certificate)
              .WithAuthority($"https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenantId}")
              .Build();
      }

      var scopes = new[] { "https://***.sharepoint.com/.default" };
      var authenticationResult = await app.AcquireTokenForClient(scopes).ExecuteAsync();
      return authenticationResult.AccessToken;
  }

      string site = "https://***.sharepoint.com/sites/CustomerServiceKB";

          context.ExecutingWebRequest += (s, e) =>
          {
              e.WebRequestExecutor.RequestHeaders["Authorization"] = "Bearer " + token;
          };
          Web web = context.Web;
          context.Load(web);

Guns can serve military, civilian, or recreational purposes. You can explore the recoil strength and stopping power of the different bullet calibers at Peak Firearms.
A bullet cartridge comprises a bullet, propellant (usually powder), casing, and primer. The bullet itself only refers to the metal projectile located at the end of the cartridge. Cartridges are covered by metal jackets. For bullets coated with a full metal jacket, the lead core is covered by a hard metal like steel or nickel. They have high stopping power and are usually used for military purposes. On the other hand, the lead core of semi-jacketed bullets is exposed at the tip.
Caliber refers to the internal diameter of the barrel that a bullet is to be fired from. It is slightly smaller than a bullet's diameter. This is why bullets squeeze down on the barrel and the barrel becomes much hotter during firing.
The primer is distributed at the base of the cartridge in two different ways. Ammunition with a rimfire cartridge has a primer built into the rim at the cartridge's base. Rimfires are relatively cheap and are often restricted to smaller calibers. On the other hand, a centerfire cartridge has a primer built well into the center of the caliber.
A "grain" is a unit of weight for bullets. Bullets at high grain levels are considered to have high stopping power. This refers to how many bullets it will take for a target to drop. Of course, this will also depend on where one gets hit and aiming often goes to the largest target spot like the center of the mass or chest. Different calibers apply to different weapons and have varying ranges of recoil strength and stopping power.
The 9mm caliber is similar to the .380 and is commonly used for pocket pistols and concealed carry. Ammunition with this caliber tends to have lower recoil and is the standard type of round for most police forces around the world. Magazines for 9mm guns often contain about 15-17 rounds and has a range of 115-147 of variable stopping power.
The .308 caliber is a good and popularly used hunting round because it has high stopping power, moderate recoil, and bullets that range from 150-208 grains. The most popular shotgun round is the 12 gauge. The gauge refers to the number of lead balls that can fit into a barrel. These metal balls vary in terms of size and amount. Recoil can be moderate or high depending on the round. The stopping power of a shotgun round is great at short range.
The .50 caliber is the most powerful of all handheld firearms and this round is not commonly meant for civilian use. It is huge in comparison to other types of ammunition, has powerful recoil, and an incredible range. Confirmed kills have been found with ranges over 2km. It also contains about 660 grains of pure stopping power.
There are many different caliber sizes for bullets depending on the particular weapon and its use. Gun operators need to choose a gun caliber based on whether the gun will be used for military, civilian, or hunting purposes.

Flex Meaning - What Does Flex Mean?
A slang term for an action a person does to show off; derives from body builders "flexing" their muscles to show off in a competition; now used to describe a person who does or says something, often stupid, to impress others.
"I found my lady, I'm gonna go flex my game, watch this.
Flex is a fantasy football (FFB) term for a position that can be filled by a RB, WR, or TE. It is a popular lineup position used in many FFL formats.
Most FFLs feature starting lineups with 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs (or 2 WRs and the flex position), 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 team defense and special teams. The flex position is helpful because it doesn't limit FFB owners to only one position option when it comes to replacing injured players or players on bye weeks.
"I put my TE in at flex and he somehow won it for me by two points on Monday night."
This page explains what the slang term "Flex" means. The various definitions, examples, and related terms listed above have been written and compiled by the Slangit team.


Fiction writing, while not always associated with affecting one's real-life relationships, can indeed have that power, too—and in a positive way. Novelists often revisit certain types of relationships or characters in their work again and again, as a form of therapy, to work through personal challenges.
What I find interesting is that, over time, as I began to deepen the character on the page, to find more nuance and humanity in my fictional mother, my perception of my actual mother began to shift too. The shift wasn't seismic. I didn't suddenly start sitting on her lap while she knitted me mittens and caps, but I did notice moments in our interactions in which the writer part of my consciousness helped me to filter challenging moments in real life.

Bendigo Au Go Go #26
It's time to dust off your checked shirt and pull on your best cowboy boots because Gold Roses, Bendigo's first alt-country music festival, is coming to town next month.
The inaugural edition of the boutique festival – at Handle Bar on Saturday, February 1 – will feature a stellar line-up of some of the finest Victorian artists working in the alt-country sub-genres of Americana, roots, folk, honky-tonk, and western swing.
Bendigo's own roots rockers Four Lions will be joining two-stepping, honky-tonkin' country collective James Ellis and the Jealous Guys, along with fellow Melbourne alt-country chanteuses Katie Bates, Kate Alexander and Hana Brenecki, and Geelong troubadour Nathan Seeckts. These acts have featured at top country music festivals around the nation and beyond, playing everywhere from Tamworth to Nashville across big stages and grungy dive bars. They've garnered airplay on radio stations Double J, RRR, PBS, ABC Country, and Geelong's 94.7 The Pulse. Now Bendigo music fans can see these performers right here in their own backyard – and for free.
Four Lions frontman Shann Lions is the brainchild behind the alt-country extravaganza, which he plans to further develop next year. "It's all about a diverse range of music being available to people in Bendigo," Lions says. "I love alt-country, and other forms of country, and I am sure other people do, too. But they don't get a lot of it in Bendigo, and I wanted to change that. So why not put on a boutique festival?"
Lions said he was also keen to ensure there was a solid representation of female artists on the bill.
"I think there's not enough females on festivals, so I wanted to make sure we addressed that," he says.
From 3pm; free entry.
Also happening in and around Bendigo this fortnight:
Local duo Jade Byrd bring their old-school jazzy blues to Rocks Underground (Rocks on Rosalind) on Friday, January 31. From 7pm; free entry; dining packages available from www.opentable.com.au

Q: How to put two elements in the same sequence? I want to force the flexible job shop example model in CP Optimizer that if a specific mode/element is put in a sequence the successor has to be put also in the same sequence which means in this case that both have to be done on the same machine. How can I create such an subject to condition??
Thank you in advance for your help!!
dvar sequence mchs[m in Mchs] in all(md in Modes: md.mch == m) modes[md]

minimize max(j in Jobs, o in Ops: o.pos==jlast[j]) endOf(ops[o]);
subject to {....}

A: If op_1 and op_2 denote the two operations that must be allocated to the same machine and if mode_1_i and mode_2_i denote the optional interval variables representing the allocation of op_1 (resp. op_2) on machine i, then all you need to do is posting a constraint: presenceOf(mode_1_i)==presenceOf(mode_2_i).

Life's a Beach and then It's FALL!
We've had a really great run this summer. I'm positive that we hit our beach time record this year! We started early and to be honest, it's not over! After The Wards beach session in July, I did a lovely overcast evening with beauty queens Vicky & Paige. I can only post this one photo for the time being so stay tuned!
Our Wednesday evening was a great prep day for Thursday's Beach Session with the Oldhams! Since we had not been to the beach for quite a few weeks, I needed to get reacquainted with the sunset at it's new bedtime.
How lucky we have been to have a few extra days of these dreamy Late Summer evenings before Fall takes over full-time.
But, that's not all, no that is not all. We've got our schedule on flex-mode to squeeze in two more "summer" beach sessions with The Gutersons and The Antonenkos! We can hope for a little sun, but truth be told, as seen in Vicky & Paige's photo, overcast skies really do offer beautiful colouring for a more cozy feel.
THAT SAID, we are open for FALL SESSIONS! Layer up with your favourite scarf and that new sweater you just bought, bring your sweetheart, bring your friends, bring your family, and update your home, office and desktop with some new beautiful photos of you with the people you love the most!

"Adopt globalisation for development, Hu tells Left," Newindpress.com, November 22 2006.
PTI NEW DELHI: Chinese President Hu Jintao on Wednesday had a word of advice for India's communist leaders -- adopt a "more pragmatic" approach as this is the era of globalisation that provides immense scope for economic prosperity.
A day after New Delhi and Beijing decided to boost their ties in commercial, political and strategic areas, Hu told a delegation of Left leaders which called on him here that both countries should enhance "mutual trust" to surge ahead in a globalised world.
Globalisation provides scope for economic prosperity, and a "more pragmatic and positive approach" must be adopted by the Left to develop infrastructure and the economy, he told the leaders.
The Left parties have often drawn flak from the Congress and other parties for their strident posture on issues like privatisation, and some sections of the government have even termed their actions as roadblocks in the path of development.
Observing that Sino-India ties are strengthening, Hu also favoured an increase in "political interaction" between the neighbours in tandem with cooperation in other fields to boost all-round relations.
The ties between the two sides at the diplomatic level and in commerce and industry are improving. There should be more exchanges between the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) and India's Left parties to boost bilateral ties, he said.
Hu asked the Left leaders to play a more active role in states where they are in power and invited them to China to gain a first-hand experience of progress made by the communist nation.
The Left leaders, on their part, urged the Chinese President to set up study groups in agriculture to understand the rapid progress made by China in the field.
The leaders who met Hu are CPI-M general secretary Prakash Karat, polit bureau member Sitaram Yechury, CPI's A B Bardhan and S Sudhakar Reddy and Forward Bloc's Debabrata Biswas and G Devarajan.
The Left parties had ON Tuesday welcomed the outcome of talks between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Hu, saying the bilateral ties were moving in a "positive" direction.
The parties, which provide key outside support to the Singh's government, said the decision by New Delhi and Beijing to embark on a new course for an "irreversible friendship" was a "good development" that augurs well for the future.
