When Ania Jeffries joined Platinum Property Partners (PPP) in 2012 with her husband Simon, it was very much about building a property portfolio that would create wealth and financial security for the future.
Already owners of a modest buy-to-let property portfolio in the UK and abroad, the couple from Tunbridge Wells found that the PPP model offered new strategy in property, but also offered them a chance to build a legacy for their children.
They now have a portfolio of four highly profitable shared houses for young professionals, which they are continuing to grow. But, what Ania hadn't expected was how being part of the franchise would inspire her to follow another passion and set up a second business and income stream.
"One of the main things that attracted me to PPP was the company's core values and commitment to continued learning and development outside of the property world," said Ania. "Since joining, I feel I have been completely challenged on so many fronts and started to believe that I could achieve anything."
It was at one of the PPP National Workshops where Ania realised that she wanted to set up her own life coaching and mentoring business, after listening to a presentation from motivational speaker, Jack Black.
Encouraged by the support and motivation of the PPP team and other Partners within the franchise, Next Step Mentor was born. Offering three, six and twelve month programmes which involve one-to-one sessions, power conversations, email support and events, Ania specialises in helping people to build self-confidence and self-belief.
"It's about helping people to succeed in whatever area of their life they want to focus on," added Ania. "PPP has this philosophy to be more, do more, have more and give more and this business is not only about being more, but also giving back."
It was because of the income generated by her property portfolio that allowed Ania to take time out to pursue her passion, as she explains: "What PPP offers first and foremost is a proven property investment model that offers cashflow. However, the personal development that is provided as part of the initial and on-going training is something that I have found invaluable and the real catalyst for me to follow my other passion - to help people change their lives through coaching and mentoring."
Since being launched in 2007, PPP has successfully recruited more than 200 Partners who provide high quality shared housing to more than 4,000 professional tenants across the UK. It is this network and the training that PPP provides that Ania credits her success.
Ania concluded: "PPP has given me huge confidence on so many levels. From a property point of view, Simon and I are looking to do a commercial project, which we would never have even considered before joining PPP.
"But on a personal level, our other businesses are purely down to the support and guidance of PPP. The people I am surrounded by within PPP are extremely passionate, supportive and encouraging, which is a huge driver in terms of your own success. And it's not just me who finds this beneficial, as so many other Partners are now also building second businesses.
"I would never have even contemplated doing half of what I have done and am planning to do if it hadn't been for PPP. We all have moments when we doubt ourselves but it is support that keeps you going."

Hawks British Championships
HETHERSETT HAWKS/ MYHILL DECORATORS had four riders competing in British Individual Championships in the North of England over the Bank Holiday weekend. One came close to getting on the podium but the others found points difficult to accumulate despite being up to speed in most of their races. For them it will be valuable experience and help them set targets for the future.
Shaun Kell slipped when leading a race in the Little League Under-10 Championship. That cost him two points that might have kept him in contention but as it was he finished a creditable fourth with 15 points.at Astley near Manchester. Sister Josie contested the Under-12 Girls Championship but lack of practice for four weeks contributed to her tally of just four points.
Owen Wells had a busy Sunday. Competing in the Junior Championship in wet conditions at Sheffield where he finished 13th with 8 points, he also took up a late spot in the Open Semi-Finals and scored 12 points over two rounds. Paul Delaiche had his first taste of the British Finals day at Hull on Monday. Racing in front of a big crowd he scored six points (15th) in the Under-16s but was pleased he had the pace to keep up with the best in Britain.
Some of these riders will be back on the national scene this Saturday for the final round of the British Youth & Junior League at Horspath (Oxford). Sunday sees the launch of a new regional Cup competition with Hethersett hosting the first leg of their group against Gt.Blakenham and Norwich, starting at 1 p.m.

Q: If I have merged a Git branch to master, can I delete the branch itself? If I have a feature branch that has been merged into the master branch and will never be needed as a separate branch again, can I delete the feature branch from the local repo and the origin repo?

A: Delete a local git branch:
git branch -D <branch_name>

Delete remote git branch:
git push origin --delete <branch_name>

If the question is whether it would be a problem: No, if all commits are merged.

A: Yes. You can delete the single feature branch:
# Delete a single branch that has already been completed locally and then remotely

$ git branch -D my-feature-branch
$ git push origin :my-feature-branch

Alternatively, you can delete all feature branches that have been merged into an integration branch:
# The following command deletes all LOCAL branches that have been merged into the current commit, where the branch name starts with 'feature', except for branch 'integration'.
# You will need to remove the 'echo' to actually run it.

$ git branch --merged | grep -i feature | grep -v integration | xargs -i echo git branch -D {}

# The following command deletes all REMOTE branches that have been merged into the current commit, where the branch name starts with 'feature', except for branch 'integration'.
# You will need to remove the 'echo' to actually run it.

$ git branch -r --merged | grep -i feature | grep -v integration | cut -d '/' -f 2 | xargs -n 1 echo git push --delete origin

# The following command deletes all REMOTE branches that have been merged into master
# You will need to remove the 'echo' to actually run it.

$ git checkout master
$ git merge origin/master --ff-only
$ git branch -r --merged | grep -v master | cut -d '/' -f 2 | xargs -n 1 echo git push --delete origin

A: If you think you've merged the branch, then it's perfectly safe to delete using git branch -d <branchName> or git branch --delete <branchName>, as they won't delete a branch that hasn't been merged. The lowercase d will cause git to warn you if the branch hasn't merged the branch, but if you want to delete a branch without keeping the most recent commits, then git branch -D will force a delete.
To delete a remote branch, use git push origin :<branchName>, or git push origin --delete <branchName>.

Kangana Ranaut Says Drug Abuse Causes Depression, Delhi Mental Health Institute Proves Her Wrong

No, Kangana Ranaut, drug abuse is not always the sole reason behind depression.
Last Updated: September 25, 2020, 8:50 PM IST
Days after Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut drew ire with her "depression is a consequence of drug abuse remark, Delhi's well-known mental health institute, VIMHANS, called her out on her misleading tweet.
A few days ago, Kangana took a sly jibe at actor Deepika Padukone, who has always been vocal about her own battles with depression, and said that mental health disorders are usually caused due to drug abuse. "Repeat after me, depression is a consequence of drug abuse. So-called high society rich star children who claim to be classy and have a good upbringing ask their manager, MAAL HAI KYA?" she wrote on Twitter.
No, Kangana, drug abuse is not the sole reason behind depression.
Depression is a health disorder, pretty much like other ailments that may be afflicting you, like fever or even stomach ache. It is not, and we cannot reiterate this enough, just sadness. In fact, that is one of the many symptoms of the condition.
The World Health Organisation defines depression as a common mental health disorder which is very different from mood fluctuations or short term responses to what is happening around you. Depression affects different people differently — in some, it may raise its ugly head in a mild form and for a short duration, while it may be more prolonged and intense in others. In some cases, it can lead to a acute condition requiring hospitalisation and rehabilitation services.
In 2018, a study by the World Health Organisation and NCMH (National Care Of Medical Health) suggested that at least 6.5% of Indians suffer from serious mental disorders. That makes India the most depressed country in the world. Every sixth person in India requires therapy. Yet, ironically, mental health and mental disorders continue to remain taboo in the country.
WHO states that a number of biological, psychological and social factors could lead to depression. Usually, depression has two types – recurrent depressive episodes and bipolar affective disorder. In both cases, depression can affect one's relationships, their levels of productivity and their overall approach to life.
In fact, tips like "Talk to someone" or "Just get a job" don't work and may come across as insensitive. Thus, for Kangana to tweet that depression is a consequence of drug abuse" on a public platform is misleading, problematic and even triggering for some.

To Kangana's tweet, Delhi's VIMHANS, Vidyasagar Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences had the most appropriate response – "Do NOT."
VIMHANS' tweet has been retweeted and shared multiple times, with people thanking a premier mental health institution for speaking up and debunking such myths and stigma around mental health.
This is one of the premier institutions in the country working on understanding and providing medical and therapeutic solutions to mental health issues. But who cares, right? @kalamwaliwhy thanks for speaking up, VIMHANS 👏 https://t.co/VVWlhita13

Do you need to find a logistics company for a business based in Portland? Want to send items elsewhere in the country or the world? Or perhaps you are looking to receive imports from overseas? TSL Australia provides effective and efficient freight forwarding services, serving companies in Victoria and further afield. We can process any sort of consignment, including produce and goods that are perishable, delicate, valuable, heavy, oversize, time-sensitive or urgent. We are now one of the freight & logistics companies Portland businesses can depend on to deliver a fast and trustworthy logistics service.
Need some goods sent to another part of Australia or a different part of the world? Perhaps you are looking to move items on a weekly or monthly basis and would like to find a reliable logistics provider who can help you regularly. We'd love to do business with you! TSL prides itself on being able to offer a reliable and great-value service thanks to highly competent staff members and tested systems.
As well as transportation, we can provide packing, storage and distribution services. In short, we can provide the full freight forwarding service from start to finish.
TSL Australia works with specially selected air carriers, transporting your goods to their destination using the world's major routes. Consignments will typically leave Australia through Melbourne airport following road travel from Portland. TSL can offer a variety of delivery speeds depending on the needs of your business. Please check the details on our website and get in touch using our Free Freight Review form, or by phone or email if you prefer, for further information.
If your business has a smaller freight budget and time is not an issue, shipping can be an excellent method of transportation. Many international businesses regularly ship their freight via the ocean using a logistics firm like TSL. Australia's ports are especially well equipped to deal with cargo because of the country's long history with sea freight, a result of the geographical distance between Australia and most other parts of the world.
You may be surprised to learn that when importing goods into Australia from overseas, items can take up to a fortnight to be cleared through customs. This is because of Australia's strict customs laws, which are enforced by the Australian Port Authorities. Customs clearance is a potentially delicate operation that needs to be carried out with precision. TSL Australia has the experience to process cargo with care and accuracy, meaning any delays at the port or airport are minimal.
Looking for freight & logistics companies Portland and beyond? Enquire about our services using the Free Freight Review form on our website, or give us a ring or an email if you would prefer to talk to us directly.

Pros / It's a good-looking phone and answering machine system.
Cons / The base's button labels are difficult to see.
Verdict / The AT&T EL52113 is a fine, basic phone and answering machine system.
There's nothing wrong with the AT&T EL52113, but this cordless phone didn't stand out from the crowd. That's not to say it's bad – it's perfectly fine and a good budget option if you need a basic home phone with an answering machine.
Like other phones we tested, the EL52113 has basic features like a quiet mode, caller ID, speed dial, intercom and handset locator. It stores the last 10 calls for redial, 50 phone book entries and your caller ID history. The answering machine can store up to 14 minutes of digital recordings.
The AT&T EL52113 is generally stylish, but the wall mount bracket that comes with it is too big and sticks out around the mounted phone base, which doesn't look great. Also, the base's buttons are difficult to read, a problem compounded by the delete and play buttons being too close together. Between these two design flaws, you may accidentally delete messages instead of playing them on occasion. However, you can access your messages from the handset to avoid this.
This model's handset is very similar to the one that comes with the AT&T EL51103, featuring a white backlit digital display and orange backlit buttons. It's small and lightweight, and the buttons are intuitively laid out.
You can expand the system up to five total handsets. The handsets do not have headset jacks. However, they support simulated full-duplex speakerphone, so you and the person on the other end can speak and be heard at the same time.
In our tests, it took the EL52113 over seven hours to charge to full. The handset lasted 26 and a half hours in standby, which is a middle-of-the-road performance.
You can change things up a little with the phone's 10 ring styles and seven volume levels (including off). However, you can't assign ring tones to individual phone numbers.
The AT&T EL52113 is reliable, inexpensive cordless phone and answering machine system. It has a few design flaws, but there are ways to work around them that don't affect the system's overall performance.


Alaina Hepburn strolled across the walkway, smack-dab in the middle of Halo's well-trimmed verdant garden park, lavish with diverse foliage and a flowing water fountain glistening under a brilliant summer sun. Several bronzed statues adorned the area attracting a glanced from pedestrians as they passed while an occasional car flew overhead. However, it was Alaina's eye-catching outfit and radiant youthful vitality that captured the most attention of those around her, not merely because she was attractive—though her blond hair, blue eyes, and well-tanned skin accented her appealing figure—and not because her behavior was so unusual so as to stir excitement. Everyone who passed offered her a warm greeting—for she was well-known to the people of Elysium. No, what attracted the curiosity of those nearby was her bearing—with shoulders back and head held high, she led one to wonder what adventure she was just returning from—or, better yet, was just about to embark upon.
When Gallant entered the park on his way to a meeting at the town hall, the impact of seeing Alaina again struck him like a shock wave. His reaction was unlike what might be expected from the methodical logical captain who so recently fought a battle from the bridge of the Warrior.
Now he was simply a man rediscovering his lover—filled with the joy of her presence, the relief of her safety, and the sensuality of her being—the emotional tizzy seething beneath the surface was enough to cause the fringes of his vision to grow hazy, excluding all others from sight. He felt a sense of well-being flood over him, creating the desire to seize and hold her. Despite his wish to run—he walked toward her along the intersecting walkway.
When she noticed him, she came to an abrupt stop and turned to face him. The surprise on her face couldn't have been more pronounced. He could only guess that her emotional state was as heighten as his own.
Any passerby might have assumed that they were two old acquaintances meeting casually to exchange friendly greetings, but his heart was pounding and his palms were moist. A gust of wind blew a tangled lock of his hair across his forehead causing him to swipe it away mindlessly.
"Henry!" she said, biting her lower lip.
For one thing, guys carry the most cash with them anywhere. Didn't anyone ever tell them cash was dead?
I nestled myself in one of the side branches of Citadel Mall. I picked my way through a Claire's but the lights were too bright reflecting off the sparkling plastic and crystals of the teeny bopper jewelry and handbags. I ducked into a shoe store where the lighting was dimmer and the window wasn't as obstructed. Waiting was the hardest part.
My favorite place to find dumb guys with lots of cash was the mall. Always fairly crowded on a weekend; I could count on at least a couple of twenties for every wallet I temporarily borrowed.
I never kept all of it. Forty to sixty dollars at the most. Not enough to bother reporting to the cops. I didn't mess with credit cards, or bother with selling ID cards. That's the kind of crazy stuff that gets you sent to prison. I always left the wallets and the rest of the leftovers tucked away in the food court and on benches where management would see it and find the owner. That way, the people wouldn't have to get new ID, which is a huge hassle.
And they never suspected a thing. All they saw when I accidentally bumped into them was batting eyelashes and as much cleavage as I could muster the absurdity to expose without dry heaving.

All of them so similar, with minor variations in hair color and skin color, but the same impressive height and muscular build. As if they came from a race of warriors. Terrifying and dangerous, in their rough beauty. The lethal grace of a predator within the body of a man.
One of them sat at a table, his head down. Even from across the room, it was possible to see the wide restraints on his wrists. He watched them intently. The eyes did not lie. No mere man had eyes so watchful, so full of darkness. Every word, every twitch, collected and catalogued inside the perfectly unending memory of a Dem. She shivered.
Suddenly, the Dem at the table rose in one fluid movement. Going from sitting to standing between one heartbeat and the next. The tension rose in the room, but the Dem did not make any move toward them.
He turned his head away, a dismissal of their presence. She watched him roll his shoulders, stretching his neck and back in a feline arch, as a thin man walked up behind the Dem. He stopped a couple yards behind the much larger male and spoke.
From her place by the door, it was impossible to make out his words. The Dem jerked his head around to look at the man, his spine straightening. In one quick movement, he whirled Page 1 of 2Page 2 of 2around and stalked toward the man. Sarah held her breath, tense even when she was not in immediate danger.
Aggression rolled off the Dem, seeming to fill every fiber of his being. He towered over the human handler.

YouTube Shorts invade the biggest screen in your home
(Image credit: YouTube)
YouTube Shorts, the vertical, short-form, and very TikTok-like YouTube video format is now making its way to TV screens.
The sixty-second clips have been wildly successful for YouTube. Sunder Pichai, CEO of YouTube's parent company Alphabet, revealed earlier this year that Shorts get over a billion views daily (opens in new tab). Quick to capitalize on it, the developers have been pumping out new features for Shorts (opens in new tab) to expand its capabilities. So, a leap to the TV screens is a logical next step but, according to the official announcement (opens in new tab), the move wasn't so simple.
The main issue was figuring out how to bring vertical videos meant for smartphones to horizontal television screens.
The solution to this problem was to create a custom option that makes "the most of [a] wide screen's additional space." Shorts will be displayed with an outline around them alluding to a smartphone screen. Behind the videos will be a "color-sampled blurred background" reflecting the content. YouTube saw that it fit better than a simple pitch-black background. Basic functionalities like the Like and Dislike buttons are off to the video's side.
Shorts on TV can be found by scrolling down to its section on the YouTube smart TV app. Once you select a Short, the videos will play in an endless loop until you exit. You can use the middle button on your remote control to start or stop a Short or use the play and pause buttons, instead, according to an official video (opens in new tab). Pressing the right button on the remote brings up information about the video like the video title, who created it, and the sound they used.
You can navigate between shorts using your remote's up and down buttons. Work on the feature isn't over yet as there are plans to include more community features like the ability to subscribe to a creator while viewing a Short.
YouTube Shorts on TV launches today and will roll out to streaming devices and TV models made after 2018 over the coming weeks. The company states it may not work on older TVs which means there may be a lucky few where it does.
The feature is also coming to "newer game consoles." Presumably, this means the PS5 and other current-gen consoles. We asked Google for more clarification and what kind of community features are in the pipeline. This story will be updated if we hear back.
Given the popularity of Shorts, YouTube has seen fit to make the video style easier to create and more economically viable, especially when it comes to competing with its rival TikTok. YouTube has the advantage of being present on many smart TVs but still needs that edge to draw in people.
Back in June, YouTube began implementing the first round of ads to its Shorts content after it received positive responses from various advertisers. Now content creators have an opportunity to make money off their short-form content. The company also revamped YouTube's editing suite allowing channels to make shorts from their old content. Some of the tools include a timeline editor, filters, and a text tool just to name a few.
If you're interested in flexing those creative muscles and uploading YouTube Shorts, be sure to check out TechRadar's own easy-to-follow guide. The initial process can be a little confusing for newcomers.

Washington, June 18 (ANI): Scientists claim that no matter how much we like to argue, we love it when people agree with us.
Researchers Chris Frith and colleagues at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL (University College London) in collaboration with Aarhus University in Denmark have found that the 'reward' area of the brain is activated when people agree with our opinions.
The team, in a study of 28 volunteers in the UK, found that agreeing with a person's opinions affects ventral striatum, the area of the brain associated with receiving rewards. All volunteers were asked about their favourite songs and then made to sit with 'experts' who decided whether they liked them too. The subjects were then placed in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner, which records brain activity by measuring related changes in blood flow.
The team also found that after the experiment, a majority of the subjects changed their opinions according to the reviewers' and seven people changed their opinions opposite to the reviewers.


I was recently asked what my favourite city was, and why it was… and although I have always known, I had difficulty accepting the truth. I love Vancouver with all of my heart, this is where my family is, and the city is beautiful. But why do I love New York?
What is it about New York that captures your soul, and the curiosity and interest of those from all around the world? Why do we love New York so much?
For me, I believe it's iconic of possibility and motivation. It is the gauge frequently used to measure one's own success, accreditation to Frank Sinatra…"If You Can Make it There…" New York is after all 'The American Dream' for many. (Present political stance aside) this little island called Manhattan has taken a world stage for many years and will continue to do so for many more.
There is an abundance of other beautiful cities all over the world, in every continent, and just about every country, but why does New York stand out so much? Is it due to celebrity populace? No, I don't believe so because that is what Hollywood represents. Is it due to famous inventors, artists, writers and the like? No… I don't believe that either because the Italian Renaissance era, Paris and Vienna are all greatly recognized in that department! Don't get me wrong though, NY has provided substantially gifted artists, writers and performers as well! Hmm… could it be Broadway?
I honestly am so perplexed on this, perhaps New York was one of the fastest growing cities in the world, and therefore became symbolic for pop culture, movies, television programs and fashion. As we all know, New York has provided the backdrop for an abundance of film productions, and yes fashion combined, and perhaps this caught on very quickly throughout the rest of the world, and slowly more and more people wanted a taste of the 'Big Apple'.
Either way, I ended up choosing New York as my favourite city for the strength, the endurance and spirit of the city. I chose New York for the character of the buildings and the passion of the people which I find incredibly motivating. In fact, New York will be providing me with inspiration, stamina and hopefully artistic ability on a writer's retreat that I will soon be taking. I thank-you in advance New York!
So tell me, do you love New York? Please tell me why! I would love to know…. Or maybe you don't like NYC at all; maybe another city is the apple of your eye?
I think I've figured out why NY is in my heart, but what city is in yours? And why??
I can't wait to be done with college , there's a lot of countries and cities , I would love to visit and I especially want to see what's so magical about New York that people talk about it so much . My favourite city in India is UB city in Bangalore . It's extremely beautiful.
Lovely post! I am from New York City. I can see why everyone loves it so much. Such a great city. I'd love to visit Vancouver!

The Ministry of Education will soon conduct two nationwide surveys on thousands of school aged kids to obtain an accurate picture of the state of children's health and to gauge the prevalence of tobacco use among youngsters in the country.
On Friday, Education Minister Jerome Fitzgerald announced that his ministry had teamed up with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to carry out a Global School Health Survey (GSHS) and a Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS).
The surveys will be administered simultaneously.
Minister Fitzgerald said it is imperative to obtain an accurate picture of the state of children's health so that the data can be used to make informed policy decisions and to implement strategies that will positively impact their development.
"It is important that we focus on our students' health because it can be a critical factor in success in education," he said. "Health issues can be a major deterrent to learning; therefore we must take steps to ensure that our children's education is not disadvantaged due to preventable illnesses and conditions."
"Each survey has specific objectives to achieve. We all can admit that the health of our student population is a good indicator of the health of our nation, since students usually adopt their lifestyle habits and trends from their parents."
The Global Youth Tobacco Survey is a global standard to systematically monitor the use of tobacco among the youth population of a country.
It is a nationally representative school-based study of students between the ages of 13 and 15 using a consistent and standard protocol across countries.
Meantime, the Global Health School Survey is designed to develop a current database on health matters which are of utmost importance to the Ministry of Education like non-communicable diseases, sexually communicable disease and obesity.
"These surveys will be conducted at 25 selected private and public schools in New Providence, Grand Bahama and the Family Islands," Mr. Fitzgerald added. "Parental consent has been obtained for students to participate in the survey."
"We will use the information gathered to develop a health education campaign to sensitise the general public, and in particular students, on healthy eating habits and raise awareness on issues that can foster healthy children."
The education minister said he is very confident that information gathered will guide all of the relevant parties at this table in making decisions for the health of the children in The Bahamas.
He said the information will be shared with parents to assist them in rearing healthy children who eventually become healthy adults.

Grand Canyon On The Cheap Judging from this summer's big crowds, Grand Canyon National Park is clearly a destination of choice for vacationers in tough economic times. Some visitors might be Americans trying to save a buck, but others are coming from far away.
Summer Getaways: National Park Service
From Yellowstone and Yosemite, there are more than 84 million acres in the National Park system.
Grand Canyon On The Cheap
< Grand Canyon On The Cheap
July 3, 20081:00 PM ET
ALEX COHEN, Host:
Maybe the wildfires have quashed your plans for a summer vacation in California. You might want to consider the Grand Canyon in Arizona instead. Teddy Roosevelt once called it the one great sight which every American should see. Every year, four and a half million people travel to the Grand Canyon, and many of them aren't from the U.S. As part of our weeklong visit to national parks, NPR's Ted Robbins brings us this story.
TED ROBBINS: This year, park officials are not sure whether fewer Americans will come to the Grand Canyon because of high gas prices. Sarah Maily(ph), Barb Dolstrom(ph) and her husband drove from Wisconsin to do the southwest circuit - Bryce, Zion, Southern California - and paid a bundle.
M: Twelve hundred dollars.
(SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER)
ROBBINS: On gas?
M: Roundtrip it will be 1200 dollars, we estimate.
ROBBINS: But then a drop in U.S. visitors could be offset by foreign visitors who get a lot more for their money against the weak dollar.
M: My name is Margaret Mathews(ph), and I'm from Hamilton, in Scotland, U.K. I'm here with my husband, Jim. And I'm really glad he's brought me here because it's just completely awesome.
M: Just the colors, I mean it's mostly red obviously, but it's still it's just the variety of colors in the whole place.
ROBBINS: The Mathews are at the south rim, where most visitors come to view the vast landscape, sometimes far bigger than they imagined.
M: You see I had no idea. I thought it may be like seven or eight miles, or something like that.
ROBBINS: It's actually more than 200 miles long. Ted Roberts(ph), his wife and two daughters came from Ohio. He wants to go down to the Colorado River at the bottom.
M: How long does it take to get down there?
U: About four hours down and maybe five, six hours back.
M: That's - maybe that will be the next trip then. That can be the next trip.
ROBBINS: A lot of people underestimate the time and effort it takes to hike the Grand Canyon. In summertime, rangers advise not trying to go down and up in one day. Even just going one way they advise starting near dawn to avoid the heat. Still, in midday, on the steepest part of the trail below the rim, Peter Worrell(ph), from Manchester, England, is hauling buckets of rocks.
M: I've been here 10 weeks just volunteering in national parks. Helping to dig the trails and maintain fences and things.
ROBBINS: Worrell is part of a program called the American Conservation Experience, which places young people in summer volunteer jobs.
M: Thought I'd come over and give a bit back.
ROBBINS: Are you glad you came or you're sorry?
M: No, I'm glad. It's a great view, nice friendly people, nice weather. You get to keep fit, so.
ROBBINS: Ninety percent of Grand Canyon visitors stay up top. A complex of gift shops and hotels like El Tavor and the Bright Angel Lodge provide lodging and refreshment, including an ice-cream parlor with a line out the door. In most places along the Grand Canyon rim there is no railing, but here in the developed part there are a few low stone walls and benches. Couples sit and watch the sun go down. Barb Dalstrom's husband went back to their room so she and Sarah Maily are enjoying what they've got.
M: We're sitting here and there's this couple next door, and my god, this is so romantic, and here we are, together, but, anyway.
ROBBINS: Little does she know. That couple near them? Ina and Dida Rodenz (ph) from Chicago. Not impressed. Doesn't even compare, he says, with sunset from Heron Island, Australia, or over Lake Pontchartrain, in Louisiana.
M: It's nice, I mean it's not ugly, but the book says you've got to do this so we're going to do this.
ROBBINS: Then there are folks like Carl Darchansky(ph). He's resting on the Bright Angel trail about a mile below the rim before the final ascent. How many times have you been on this trail?
M: Thirty times.
ROBBINS: In the last how many years?
M: Over the last 50 years. Yeah. Seventy-two years young. Hope to be able to do it for a few more years.
ROBBINS: What - what keeps you coming back?
M: Oh, the beauty of it.
ROBBINS: For everyone who's disappointed, there seems to be 10 who are thrilled. And for everyone ignorant when they arrive at the Grand Canyon, nearly all go away educated, if not inspired. Ted Robbins, NPR News.

MeiraGTx and Janssen Pharmaceuticals Report Promising Interim Results from its Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial for XLRP Gene Therapy
A Phase 3 trial for the treatment is planned
Get updates on Eye On the Cure Research News
MeiraGTx and Janssen Pharmaceuticals report stable or improved retinal sensitivity for five of seven participants — those in the low and intermediate dose groups — in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for its X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) gene therapy. The therapy is for XLRP caused by mutations in the gene RPGR.
The Phase 1/2 trial is underway at five sites in the US and the UK. Males as young as five are being enrolled. Thanks to the encouraging interim results, the company is planning a Phase 3 trial for the treatment.
MeiraGTx's gene therapy is administered by multiple subretinal injections in the central retina. For example, one patient received four subretinal injections. The hope is that multiple injections will get the treatment to a larger area of the retina than a single injection, thereby stabilizing or improving more vision. The gene therapy is designed to be effective for several years, perhaps the lifetime of the patient.
XLRP is a common and aggressive form of retinal disease. There is a great unmet need and these results provide hope for those affected.
Brian Mansfield, PhD, executive vice president of research and interim chief scientific officer, Foundation Fighting Blindness
The subretinal injections deliver copies of a healthy RPGR gene into the patient's retina to augment the mutated RPGR copies. Human-engineered viral containers — derived from an adeno-associated virus or AAV — deliver the RPGR copies into the photoreceptors, the vision-enabling cells affected by XLRP.
Retinal sensitivity of the patients in the Phase 1/2 trial was evaluated by microperimetry which measured levels of retinal sensitivity at 185 different points in the patients' central retinas.
Inflammatory responses were observed in two of the three patients in the clinical trial's high dose cohort, which were effectively treated with extension of the steroid cover.
"We are encouraged by the early and meaningful clinical trial results for MeiraGTx's XLRP gene therapy," says Brian Mansfield, PhD, executive vice president of research and interim chief scientific officer at the Foundation Fighting Blindness. "XLRP is a common and aggressive form of retinal disease. There is a great unmet need and these results provide hope for those affected."
As an X-linked condition, XLRP primarily affects males, although some females may be affected, sometimes significantly.

Many people lump nature spirits in with fairies and that is both true and untrue. Fairies are a broad category of beings and they can and do include both beings of this world and beings from the Otherworld that choose to come here. In the next chapter we will take an in-depth look at the Otherworld but I want to discuss here the importance of showing proper respect to the locations in our own world that are associated with or claimed by the fairies, whether that means true nature spirits or not.
A land spirit or the spirit of a natural feature like a tree or plant is strongly connected to the place it calls home. This is only logical really, as that physical place or object is for them like our body is for our soul – it acts like an anchor for the spirit in this world. If you think of it this way then it's easier to understand why we should be careful and respectful of places that belong to these spirits. This doesn't necessarily mean that all natural spaces should be inviolate, life after all is a cycle of growth and death and it can involve destruction, but just like we should show respect to the animals and plants we use for food, we owe respect to the natural places and the spirits that inhabit them. It's also always good to keep in mind that nature spirits have the ability to influence the mood and atmosphere of a place, so happy nature spirits are always better than angry ones. Generally angry land spirits will express their feelings by making the area they influence unpleasant, causing the atmosphere of the area to be uneasy or unhappy, or cause bad dreams in people living nearby.
Respecting nature spirits is a straightforward proposition: don't be needlessly destructive, don't take down trees, move larger rocks, or make any big changes to an area without giving the land spirits a bit of notice (I recommend a couple days), and don't muck up natural places in your yard or local woods with human junk or refuse. If there is a particular nature spirit, like that of a tree, that you want to connect to you can make offerings to it and talk to it. Offerings are also a good idea if you do have to do major landscaping or tree removal; honey works well, as does planting new growth or working to clean up any human messes.
Besides land spirits which exist as an intrinsic part of the world around us there are also places that belong to the fairies which are spirits of the Otherworld. These are not land spirits and are not tied to the land in these places but they have laid claim to them and feel a strong sense of ownership about them. Folklore and modern anecdotes show that interfering with or damaging places that belong to the fairies is a profoundly bad idea, and that they tend to respond in a fairly direct fashion. In Iceland both road construction and drilling that upsets the Hidden Folk tends to result in machinery breaking, ill luck, and strange happenings until the construction stops or the damage – usually to a boulder which is associated with them – is repaired. In Ireland folklore says that to interfere with a fairy tree or fairy hill can result in bad luck, illness, or even death. They are also not averse to destroying the offending human construction that is on their territory; one recent event in 2007 that made the news in Ireland was a series of telephone poles too close to a fairy hill which kept mysteriously falling down.
Traditionally places that belong to the fairies are best left alone; it is unwise to interfere with them or build on them. There are many stories, not only in Ireland but also in Iceland, of people who damaged or dug into fairy places only to suffer great ill luck, illness, or even death. In some cases even going into a place that belonged to the fairies posed a risk; in one story from Ireland a young man interfered with a well that was known to belong to the Fair Folk and in response they cursed it; when the man next went to drink from it he fell in and drowned (Ballard, 1991). If you choose to visit them it is best to do so during the day and to be careful not to leave behind a mess. It's also advised not to relieve yourself on the ground in the area, as that is known to offend them as well. Add to that a general suggestion not to say anything in those areas especially that belittle or question their power or influence because they do respond to verbal insults. As long as you are careful not to break things, not to leave behind trash, and not to verbally provoke them you should be alright.

Biggest ever EU application to use banned chemical that kills hundreds
Jack Hunter· February 13, 2019
Thousands of firms want EU permission to use the banned cancer-causing chemical that made Erin Brockovich famous and inspired the Hollywood film starring Julia Roberts.
A consortium of companies has submitted the biggest ever application to use a banned substance of any kind, in terms of volume of companies, factories and affected workers. NGOs described it as 'too big to fail' and tantamount to industrial blackmail.
The little-known REACH committee will vote on the application for authorisation on Friday. EU law allows banned substances to be used only in exceptional circumstances. Yet the committee has never rejected a single application in all 172 cases. The European Commission is recommending approval. The European Chemical Agency points to a number of weaknesses, writing that:
"…risk management measures and operational conditions as described in the application are not appropriate and effective in limiting the risks to workers."
Chromium trioxide, containing Chromium VI, is used for electroplating of packaging, household furniture, electricals and fittings, jewellery, car and aerospace parts, among other items. A powerful oxidiser, corrosive, carcinogenic, mutagenic, persistent, bioaccumulative and highly toxic, it has no safe exposure level and was banned by the EU in September 2017. Still widely used, it is mostly a problem for factory workers suffering lung cancer, but is also a sino-nasal cancer, chrome ulcers and allergy (dermatitis and asthma) risk to workers. It can also leak into the environment. It is estimated to cause over 300 European worker deaths annually and impact a million more. Erin Brockovich battled the substance and was made famous in a Julie Roberts film.
The application has been submitted by a consortium of firms led by the chemical company Lanxess, representing several thousand downstream companies. It will see 11,000 tonnes of Chromium VI used in Europe annually, exposing 117,956 workers in at least 4,057 factories from across Europe. Firms want permission to continue using the chemical for between 4 and 12 years.
European Environmental Bureau policy officer Dolores Romano said:
"This monster application is unfeasibly big and straining the EU process. In fact, it's so big that governments are afraid to reject it."
Romano described the application as "too big to fail" and "tantamount to industrial blackmail" but she said that that EU law was clear:
"The health of people and environment trump the wishes of firms that have known for many years they need to stop using this banned substance. Allowing continued use could open legal challenge from the European Parliament and others."
28 NGOs signed a letter, stating that less toxic alternatives are widely available the application should therefore be rejected as a basic matter of law.
Eighty five percent of occupational cancer cases come from exposure to only ten chemical agents. Occupational cancers are the leading cause of workplace death in the EU.

St Petersburg, FL – US-19 & 38th Ave Site of Collision with Injuries
Last updated Thursday, December 29th, 2022
St Petersburg, FL (January 6, 2022) – According to local officials, at least one person was injured in a major traffic accident in St. Petersburg on Thursday morning, January 6. At 8:03 a.m. the accident occurred near the intersection of US-19 and 38th Avenue N.
To assist the injured, emergency responders were dispatched to the scene. Many lanes were temporarily closed as a result of the collision. At least one person was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital. The extent of the injuries is unknown at this time.
At this time, no new information about the crash has been released. Local authorities are investigating the cause of the accident.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Speeding-Related Crashes in Florida
Speeding drivers are more likely to lose control of their vehicles, which can lead to serious accidents. In 2018, 9,378 people were killed in high-speed collisions in the United States. Speeding is one of the most common causes of fatal car accidents, with nearly 25 people killed every day as a result of speeding drivers. According to statistics, high-speed collisions are more likely to result in catastrophic injuries. Speeding has been blamed for one-third of all road deaths in the United States over the last two decades.
In the United States, car accidents are the leading cause of death and serious injury, with more fatal collisions occurring each year. In a collision, your chances of suffering serious injuries are higher than you might think. Even if a person survives a car accident, they may sustain serious injuries that leave them with a mountain of medical bills and no way to pay them. This difficult financial and emotional situation may quickly overwhelm innocent victims. After a serious car accident, it's critical to get the compensation you deserve, which is why victims should consult with a St. Petersburg car accident lawyer to increase their chances of a successful personal injury claim.
St. Petersburg Personal Injury Lawyers
If injured victims believe a negligent driver is to blame for their injuries, they should contact a St. Petersburg personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Only an experienced attorney can guide you through the personal injury claim process and ensure that your case is fairly handled, which is nearly impossible to achieve on your own. Large insurance companies will do everything in their power to reduce your fair compensation, but we don't want you to feel rushed. Rebein Law has assisted numerous car accident victims in obtaining just compensation, and we can help you as well.
If you have been wrongfully injured in a serious vehicle collision, call Attorney Paul Rebein today at 813-305-7285 to see how we can help.

all of these codes are part of another app that i made before...it works there but not here...because in the other app it work with map and users location marker and have some atrributes like slide right or slide left that i didnt used here .
what is my codes problem?
it works in MAINACTIVITY but not in FRAGMENT

A: finally i found out where  my problem is.in ITEM's LAYOUT under RelativeLayout is a Linear Layout that i set background : android:background="@drawable/mapview" and when i clean it it work perfectly.this drawable is a rounded corners view.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
       xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:shape="rectangle">
  <corners
    android:radius="20dp"/>
  <gradient
    android:startColor="#ffffffff"
    android:centerColor="#ffffffff"
    android:endColor="#ffffffff"
    />
</shape>

that its name is (drawable-v24) and i think my problem was related to (V24)


1) Alabama will beat Georgia to win the SEC. Unclear on their conference memberships, the WAC and Big East will also name Alabama their conference champion. The WAC and Big East will then merge to form the Big Athletic Conference. This will only compound the conference membership problem. By the end of the decade, Conference USA will be the only truly regional conference in America.
2) Teams in the Sun Belt and MAC will play games against each other. Their mothers will be able to verify this. Ohio will win a lot of games. We will pretend to care so we can present ourselves as truly erudite college football fans.
"Coach, it's not me, it's you. You're terrible"
3) Washington St will be better than Texas Tech (and Maryland). West Virginia (and Michigan) will be better than Arizona (and Oklahoma St), and I will find out why we aren't all making fun of Coach Holgorsen's hair. Ohio St will be better than Florida. USC will be better than the Seattle Seahawks. Alabama will be better than LSU (and Michigan, but not better than the Falcons). Texas A&M this season will be much better than in 2011, but not better than the Dolphins. Wisconsin will win 12 games with a quarterback discarded by a 2-10 team. Connecticut and Maryland will both be terrible (much worse than, say, Vanderbilt). And someone at the worldwide leader will wonder aloud why some struggling program hasn't snatched up Rick Neuheisel yet. This means something. This is important.
"Mack, did you try to negotiate an extension?"
5) Wisconsin will win their conference championship. Three Badgers will rush for over 1,000 yards and Danny O'Brien will set himself up as a Heisman contender in 2013. I am still boycotting the divisions established by that particular conference and, therefore, refuse to comment on who Wisconsin will beat in the championship game. But I will say that it will not be Penn St. In the confusion of conference realignment we will mistake Indiana, Purdue and Northwestern for B1G teams, but after watching them play at home we will remember they belong in the MAC.
6) Kenjon Barner will rush for 1,500 yards, but Matt Barkley will throw for 15,000 and win the Heisman. USC will beat Washington (and be better than Tennessee . . . that doesn't mean anything) to win the Pac-5,6,8,10,12. We will find out that Stanford was more than Andrew Luck; it was Jim Harbaugh and the fading remnants of his pixie dust. And even Harbaugh in the flesh wasn't enough to beat Oregon.
"I will love you, Coach Edsall"
7) Florida St will NOT win the ACC. I don't know who will win the ACC, and I don't really care, but it WON'T be Florida St. Florida St will be 9-4. Next season we will all be amazed at the talent they have along the defensive line and we will put them in the top 10. In 2013, Florida St will not win the ACC. Nor will Maryland. Instead of firing Edsall, Maryland will punish Edsall by dropping its football program and reassigning Edsall to coach the new mens synchronized swimming team. Maryland fans will want to know if this will help them beat Duke in basketball. It will not.
8) Boise St will remind us that, even after losing 7 players to the draft, the better program beats Georgia by 14, not in triple overtime. Like Alabama, Boise St will claim 3 conference championships, but will do it by playing in three different conferences over the course of the season. The other teams in its conferences will also play games, and some of those games will be very entertaining, I'm sure.
9) It will slowly dawn on the football community that we ignored one of the best pre-bowl seasons in college football history, a head-to-head match-up and conference standings so we could crown a champion based on one game played a month after the season had ended, and that we responded to this by changing the rules to put more emphasis on these pseudo, post-season games. We will recognize that we have been duped by the major sports media into believing that this is what we want . We will then pay for their insider access and log on to their forums so we can read about and discuss the sad state of college football.
10) Alabama will beat USC by 7 in the national championship game, and somehow we will twist this into meaning that the 7 terrible teams in the SEC are not terrible, that games ending 3-2 mean that your conference is good at football, and that a non-SEC team that tried to play a season in the SEC and had to play many of these 7 terrible teams would be murdered in the process because an SEC schedule is so brutal. We would think this even though last year the SEC East champ got a beatdown by the second best team in the MWC, and all statistical evidence shows that the SEC is only marginally better than the other elite conferences, and that the other elite conferences are, in fact, deeper. And I will rejoice in this now that my team is in the SEC.

Welcome to Notary Public 101
Here, you can learn how to become a notary, how to renew your notary commission, and where to find educational opportunities for notaries public.
Become a Notary in Rhode Island
Find a Notary Class in Rhode Island
Begin Notary Public 101
In most states, becoming a notary public involves meeting a number of requirements. Generally, you must be 18 years of age, not have a serious criminal history, and successfully complete an application process. In some states, the notary application process will require notary education (ranging from a simple online course to a notary class and competency exam) and a background check, as well as the purchase of a surety bond. A more thorough explanation for your state is described below.
Become a Rhode Island notary public with Notary Rotary, Inc.
To become a Rhode Island notary public an individual must meet one or more of the following criteria:
Be a resident and registered voter in the State of Rhode Island, or
Be an attorney who is a member of the Rhode Island bar association, or
Be a Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
Term of Appointment:
A Rhode Island notary public commission is valid for a period of four (4) years, unless resigned or revoked sooner.
Step 1: Download and complete the Rhode Island notary public application
Rhode Island Notary Public Application
Complete the application according to the provided instructions. If you are not a member of the Rhode Island bar you will need to have your application signed by a member or staff of the board of canvassers to certify that you are in fact a registered voter. The certificate of engagement on commission must be completed and signed by a commissioned notary public or justice of the peace.
The Find a Notary feature from Notary Rotary, Inc., may be helpful in locating a notary in your area to help process your application. Simply enter your ZIP code and search for a notary in your area.
When you have completed the application, mail it and an $80 filing fee to the Office of the Secretary of State. Checks must be made payable to the Secretary of State. Return the application and filing fee to the following address:
Office of the Secretary of State
Notary Public Section
148 W. River Street
Providence, Rhode Island 02904-2615
If the notary public section approves your application you will receive your Notary Commission in the mail in approximately three (3) weeks. Your term will expire four (4) years from the date of commission. A renewal form will be mailed to you at the address listed, so please contact the office if you change your address.
Step 2: Order any supplies you may need from Notary Rotary, Inc.
Although Rhode Island does not require notaries to put seals on documents, it is generally prudent for a notary public to do so. Some other states require notaries to use a seal as do certain corporations or government agencies. Since a notary public will not always know how or where an instrument he or she is notarizing is to be used, it is safest to always use a seal or Rhode Island notary stamp. The same applies to a journal or record book of notarial acts. There is no state requirement, but it is highly recommended. A journal or record book is a good way to provide proof if one of your official acts is ever called into question. The Modern Journal of Notarial Events by Notary Rotary, Inc., is an excellent journal designed specifically for notaries public.
To view all products offered to Rhode Island notaries public, use the following link: Rhode Island Notary Supplies. Enter the store to purchase your Rhode Island notary stamp, Modern Journal of Notarial Events, and any other supplies you may need. To order, enter the required information, scroll down through the page to locate and select the desired products, and follow the instructions through checkout. Your order will be processed as quickly as possible, usually shipping in 2-3 days.


The course was reconstructed, and is named the 1905 Course in memory of its original heyday within the oak parkland close to a further 3 courses: the Royal Whittlewood, the Grand Prix and the Wedgewood.
Royal Whittlewood Course Plays around the remaining copses of the ancient Royal Whittlewood Forest, home to an abundance of flora and fauna, which made the forest a favourite hunting ground of Medieval Kings.
Grand Prix Course plays over the gently undulating grassland adjacent to the world famous Silverstone Motor Racing Circuit, with interesting lake features and wildlife sanctuaries providing many testing holes.
1905 Course is built on the Whittlebury estate in 1905, where golfers will enjoy playing between the magnificent old oak trees and lakes in the parkland.
Wedgewood Course has both testing par 3's and par 4's of a high standard of design and construction, maintained to the same level of excellence as the other three courses on the estate. This makes it ideal for bringing on and improving the "shot making skills" of the novice, yet offering an interesting challenge to experienced players.

Q: How do I tell Windows to use 802.11 in preference to 3G? I have a Samsung NC-10 netbook which I take to work every day. Most of the time I use it just on the train/bus, but I also use it at work and home.
It has a built-in 3G card which I want to use when travelling, but I'd prefer to use wifi when I'm at work or home, for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, if the 3G connection is up, Windows appears to use that in preference to wifi.
Starting up and shutting down the 3G modem is a bit of a pain - it's not hard as such, just a bit inconvenient. Ideally I'd like it to always be up, and even have the connection itself up all the time, but without routing traffic through it if there's a wifi connection up. This is what my Android phone does, for example.
Is there somewhere in Windows which lets me express an ordering for network interfaces? I suspect the routing table may be relevant, but it's a bit of a pain to mess around with. I'd really expect there to be a simple GUI way of setting this up - after all, it would equally be useful when dealing with wired vs wifi connections.
I'm currently using Windows XP Home, but Windows 7 answers would also be useful as I'll be migrating soon.

A: In Windows Vista:

*

*Open Network and Sharing Center

*Manage network connections

*Alt-N S (Advanced -> Advanced Settings)

You can change the provider order in here, however I am not sure if it affects routing to be honest. The other option would be to bridge the two connections, but then you don't have control of which connection is being used.
I did this on my Acer when I didn't have ADSL and only 3G and it worked, but there is no fine grained control I am aware of.

A: How to change the binding order of network adapters in Windows XP and in Windows 2000 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894564)
It's useful also when you want to decide weather your VPN connection should be the first or not.

A: You need to change the metric of the routes for the adapter. If you do 'route print' at a command prompt you should see the metrics for the various routes for your adapters. The route with the lowest metric will get used first when sending out traffic.
If you go into the networking control panel and into the TCP/IP settings for your wifi adapter and then to advanced their should be an option called 'Automatic Metric' you need turn this off and asign a metric yourself. Just set it lower than your 3G adapters metric

A: In Windows Vista/7, run "ncpa.cpl"
In Windows XP, just goto Control Panel and open Network Connections.
The Network Connections window has an Advanced menu, select the Advanced Settings entry.
The Advanced Settings dialog box's Adapters and Bindings tab will show the order for preference in the Connections list box. move the wireless connection above the 3G or [Remote Access connections] entry.

A: First of all, to view your order of interfaces by the os, run "route print' on the command prompt.
The metric value displayed determines which interface comes first in ascending order.
For your LAN connection to be chosen over a 3G connection on an XP machine, just go to your LAN interface properties, in the connection tab, choose "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and click "Properties", instead of changing your IP address, click the "Advanced" button and at the bottom, uncheck "Automatic metric" then make the interface metric value "1".
You can leave the rest of the interfaces stay with auto metric.
Apply changes to your LAN interface and that will resolve your issue.
Be careful as applying the changes refreshes your LAN connection.
