We have considerable expertise in strategy consulting, energy systems and modeling. We develop and maintain our product, the Energy Transition Model, but we also help organizations navigate the complexities of the energy transition.
In order to realistically model the entire energy system of a country, province or city, you need to know how it all works. We at Quintel have extensive expertise on the intricacies of (inter)national and regional energy systems.
The energy transition means an overhaul of a globe-spanning system of energy use, supply and pricing. Such changes come with a lot of uncertainty. Quintel can help organizations navigate these changes by gaining a strategic understanding of the energy transition and the the energy system as a whole.
See our list of publications for examples of the kind of work we do.
Our modeling team has extensive experience in reducing the inherent complexity and interdependencies of national energy systems to their essence. With a solid background in exact sciences, our modelers distill real-life technologies and processes into functional building blocks for the Energy Transition Model.
Whenever our partners request improvements or extensions of the Energy Transition Model, we collect the required data from scientific literature, our partners, experts and statistical agencies. As such, Quintel and its partners use the Energy Transition Model to pool their energy know-how in an accessible way.
Our open source model is ideally suited for collective development. We have worked with several firms and institutes, such as Alliander, Berenschot, CIEP, RUG and others.
Quintel does all its product development in-house. Our team of developers has written the calculation engine for the Energy Transition Model entirely in the Ruby programming language. This language is a dynamic, reflective, object-oriented language with an active open source community. For the ETM it offers a readable way to create, maintain and expand our modules.
Quintel has also developed a range of educational material for the Dutch education system. Students from primary school to PhD level use these educational materials to interactively learn to understand the energy system better. More information can be found on Quintel's education page. (in Dutch).

Effectively combating Fraud and Financial Crime continues to be an important agenda item for the boards of many organizations across the Middle East. It is of particular relevance to Insurance and Financial Services as it dominates the board room discussions are one of the most pervasive threats today, burdening and impeding growth and profitability. Remaining competitive in this environment requires a reassessment in the way in which shareholder assets, financial products, medical or auto claims and enterprise data are analyzed and risk assessed for such threats.
We are oganizing this Summit on 20th February 2019 at Royal Mirage - The One and Only to provide an opportunity for attendees to understand how cutting-edge analytics can help address the challenges associated with combatting Fraud across the Financial Services and Insurance landscape. We have invited a panel of global subject-matter experts to not only explain how SAS is working with such institutions but also speakers who will discuss the evolving landscape of fraud in our region. Join us, as we explain how disruptive organizations are using advanced analytics to turn such threats into opportunities.

There a few words truer that those of Lucia d'Adda. Read (and try it) to believe.
In her blog, Lucia writes about her "life has a housewife, struggling with scheduled times, tidiness, hundreds of unfinished projects but always looking for the bright side… and the good side." Enter and discover her world, her recipes and her taste for life.
1. Do not underestimate: them, your children. True, they are full of energy. But they are discovering one thing after the other. Learning is so easy for them, something we have long forgotten. They are looking at us even when we don't realize. We educate them with the way we act because, like sponges, they absorb everything around them.
2. Do not overestimate: other people's judgment. The people who love you know that, after quietly and politely expressing their opinion on a subject (be it the children's education, how to feed them, choosing a pediatrician, the best kind of shoes), they must step aside and let you get on with it. You – with your children's father – play the starring role. Together you can go on this great adventure.
3. If you need help: don't hold back. Real "wonder women" are the ones who understand they can't make it alone. We know perfectly well how to ask for help: your mother can iron the shirts, your mother-in-law can cook some sauce and bring it round, a friend can pick up your child from nursery, your husband can come back from work and pick up the screaming baby, giving you the chance to take a shower or cook the dinner in peace. We are lucky to be surrounded by people who are just waiting for us to ask them to help us.
4. You won't manage without: affection. A gentle touch from your mother, reassuring you that you are a good mother even when the baby is screaming so much you feel your heart will break. A romantic dinner with your partner in which you can finally talk. The look of your baby when your feed him or your child waving when you pick her up from school, as if there were nothing better in the world. Your friends' smiles, the friends you know you can always count upon. These moments are the fuel that keeps us going because we feel loved.
5. My motto for when you are desperate: think of what you have and never of what you are missing. This is more of an exercise than a motto. It is a way of finding something good in everything and every situation, even the less (apparently) attractive ones. You can always start again from there – from the positive present.

Canadian guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was drafted No. 11 overall by the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday. He wasn't a Hornet long, as moments later Gilgeous-Alexander was headed to the Los Angeles Clippers in a trade.
Charlotte Hornets made the pick and then dealt Hamilton-native to L.A.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander followed a path to the NBA paved by the Canadian players that went before him.
And he made a fashion statement while doing it.
The 19-year-old, whose draft night attire had social media buzzing, is headed to the Los Angeles Clippers, originally selected No. 11 by Charlotte in Thursday night's NBA draft before he was traded to the Clippers. He became the eighth Canadian lottery pick in history.
"I feel like we're on the rise," Gilgeous-Alexander said of Canadian basketball. "I guess over the past couple years we've gotten a lot more resources and more exposure to basketball over here. The world is starting to realize how good we are at basketball. I don't think it'll stop soon. There is a lot of good kids over there that have a good potential. I think we'll be really good. I think this is just the beginning."
He was traded to the Clippers for the draft rights to Miles Bridges and a couple of second-round picks.
Justin Jackson of Toronto was the second Canadian drafted on the night, is headed to the Orlando Magic. Originally drafted 43rd overall by Denver, he was traded moments later to the Magic.
The Toronto Raptors had no pick in the draft, and attempts to trade into it were unsuccessful.
Gilgeous-Alexander, who was born in Toronto but grew up in Hamilton, showed rapid improvement in his one season at Kentucky. He came off the bench before working his way into the starting lineup, and scored 16.4 points per night the rest of the way. He averaged over 19 points, almost seven assists, and shot over 50 per cent from three-point range in his final 10 games with the Wildcats.
Considered the best point guard in the draft, Gilgeous-Alexander has impressive length — he's six foot six, with a six-foot-11 wingspan.
"I'm a playmaking guard, pass-first point guard," he said. "Like to get teammates involved. Good leader. Likable guy. I'm really just willing to do whatever the team needs me to do to win."
Long before his name was called at Barclays Center, Gilgeous-Alexander was all over the internet for his champagne-coloured floral suit. It was made by Jhoanna Alba, whose company ALBA is known for dressing over 1,000 pro athletes and entertainers.
"When I was getting fitted for my suit, I had no intentions of getting something like this. I wanted to look nice, but nothing this crazy," he said. "I noticed there was this square of fabric on the table next to me while I was getting fitted. It had this pattern and this colour [champagne]. I tried it on the trim of my jacket at first. I liked that a little bit and then I tried the whole jacket and figured out I really liked it. Then I put the whole suit together and fell in love."
The fashion was a highlight on an otherwise ho-hum draft night.
Trae Young, who's headed to Atlanta, wore suit-shorts, similar to LeBron James' Bermuda shorts style during the playoffs.
"I wanted to be different," Young said. "No one has ever rocked the shorts before at the draft."
Wendell Carter Jr. wore a Gucci scarf inspired by "Black Panther." Even his parents wore Gucci outfits bearing tigers inspired by the Marvel Comics movie.
Gilgeous-Alexander follows a string of Canadian lottery picks. Anthony Bennett became the first Canadian to be picked No. 1 overall, to Cleveland in 2013. Andrew Wiggins followed him a year later, also selected by the Cavaliers with the first overall pick.
Tristan Thompson was the highest Canadian draft pick before Bennett when he went fourth to Cleveland in 2011.
The 21-year-old Jackson declared for the draft last year but withdrew his name to return to Maryland for another season. But a shoulder injury prematurely ended his college career in late December. He'll join fellow Canadian Khem Birch in Orlando.
The Raptors, meanwhile, hoped to trade into the draft. How close were they?
"You probably have to ask the other teams to be honest," said GM Bobby Webster. "I think we had a few things early, a few things in the middle and a few things late. I think we thought they were close, but you don't really know."
Webster noted the lack of movement on the night. Not one player under contract was dealt.
"I don't know if something's going on around the league and people are a little hesitant with personnel and just wanted to do draft picks tonight, and we didn't have a draft pick so we got shut out," Webster said.
"We were thinking this has to be the first time in history that one actual player under contract hasn't gotten traded. Maybe some uncertainty with salaries, where things are headed. I couldn't really tell you right now."
The Raptors will now turn their attention to free agency which begins July 1, and evaluating their current roster. Toronto's free agents are Fred VanVleet and Lucas Nogueira.


Gravity is the ultimate worker, never taking a day off or calling in sick. Only that guy who was in the International Space Station for one year got a break from the pull of gravity for any length of time. And while gravity may indeed be helpful for keeping us from being pulled into space, it's rough on your skin and muscles.
The unrelenting pull of gravity shows all over your body, but it can be especially egregious on your forehead. There gravity and aging team up to produce sagging skin, deep lines, drooping brows, and the ongoing impression that you're either very tired or angry.
And with the Facebook News Feed, isn't there already enough misinformation out there?
Why not correct the misperceptions by having Dr. Amirlak perform a brow lift. It will tighten up the skin and underlying muscles and take years off your face.
Since brow lifts target the upper third of the face, the procedure can be combined with other surgeries such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and facelifts (which target the middle and lower face) to rejuvenate the entire face.
If you have sagging brows, it can be due to aging and gravity, or you can thank your parents. Yes, some people, unfortunately, are genetically prone to more sagging on their forehead. Dr. Amirlak brow lift patients are between the ages of 40 and 60 and feature lined or inelastic skin on their foreheads.
Want to know if a brow lift could help you? Here's a simple test. Stand in front of the mirror and place the palms of your hands to the sides of your eyes above the eyebrows. Now pull the skin back from the eyes. That tightened skin and raising of the forehead is basically what a brow lift with Dr. Amirlak will accomplish. And you won't have to keep your hands up there pulling your skin to get the results!
Dr. Amirlak performs brow lifts with two techniques: the traditional (also called coronal) brow lift or the endoscopic brow lift. Sometimes an endoscopic lift cannot reposition enough skin and muscle to adequately address your problems. During your consultation, Dr. Amirlak will explain both options, along with which method he feels is best for your unique situation.
Traditional brow lift — This was formerly the only method for performing brow lifts. A coronal incision is made that stretches from just above the ear across the top of the forehead and down to the other ear. The incision is typically made within the hairline but may be placed further back to minimize visibility in patients with thinning hair. Next, the forehead skin is lifted, tissue removed, muscles adjusted, and the eyebrows may be lifted. The last step is to trim any excess skin. The incision is then closed with stitches or clips.
Endoscopic brow lifts — In this method, which has become the preferred method for most patients, Dr. Amirlak makes from three to five short incisions, each less than one inch, behind the hairline. He then inserts an endoscope into one of the incisions. The endoscope enables him to see beneath the skin without making the long incision of the traditional method. Through the other incisions, he then lifts the skin, removes tissue, and adjusts muscles as needed. The limited incisions of an endoscopic brow lift can limit just how much tissue can be repositioned.
No one should look tired when they're not! If people have been asking you if you're tired more and more often, maybe it's time to address sagging on your forehead and brows with a brow lift from Dr. Amirlak. Call us at (214) 974-4948 to schedule a consultation.

Slimmed-down Travis Hafner could end up being key addition for Yankees as injuries have decimated lineup
By Mark Feinsand

DUNEDIN, Fla. — Travis Hafner is hoping less is more for him this season.
The Yankees' designated hitter has dropped 10 pounds this spring in an effort to take some stress off his massive frame, hoping the weight loss will help him to regain his status as one of the league's most productive hitters. "I feel better overall," Hafner said. "My body feels really good; I don't get that sore anymore or anything. I feel like there's potential there to have a really good season."
Hafner, 35, was limited to only 66 games last year as a result of knee and back injuries, the latest in a streak of five consecutive injury-filled seasons. Having played his entire career at 255 pounds, Hafner is already down to 245, hoping to start the season somewhere between 240-245. "I'm a lot quicker," Hafner said dryly before cracking a smile. "Maybe I'll steal five bases this year."
The absence of Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira for the first five-plus weeks of the season due to injuries, combined with Alex Rodriguez's hip surgery and the departures of Nick Swisher, Russell Martin, Eric Chavez, Raul Ibanez and Andruw Jones, have many people wondering where the Yankees will get their power early in the season.
That's where Hafner comes in. All indications are that the DH could find himself hitting fifth when the season begins, leaving him in position to be one of the Bombers' most important players in April.
"I've hit in the middle of the order most of my career and I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing," Hafner said. "It's a great opportunity for me until those guys get back to hopefully step up and help the team out."
"We really need him," hitting coach Kevin Long added. "We need him in the middle of the lineup, especially with some of our guys that are usually there not being there to start the season. We're counting on him to have a big year."
It wasn't all that long ago that big years were the norm for Hafner. From 2004-07, he hit .296/.410/.567 with an average of 32 home runs and 108 RBI over 140 games per season. Hafner posted a pair of monster seasons in 2005-06, earning fifth- and eighth-place finishes in the AL MVP voting.
Since 2008, Hafner's numbers have plummeted as the injuries mounted; his slash line fell to .259/.353/.436, and he averaged 12 homers, 43 RBI and 86 games per season as he battled shoulder, back, knee, foot and oblique injuries.
"I really believe some injuries got my mechanics out of whack," Hafner said. "If I can get those ironed out better, I can definitely play a higher level than I have been the past few years."
Long has worked extensively with Hafner this spring to get those mechanics straightened out. Hafner's results don't show it — he's 3-for-20 (.150) so far this spring — but he's beginning to feel more comfortable with the changes he and his hitting coach have made.
"My swing feels really good," Hafner said. "Right now in games, I'm thinking a lot about mechanics and all of a sudden, there's the ball. The important thing is that I'm ready to go and not having to think about it when the season starts."
Long has been impressed by the simplicity of Pronk's swing. Those mechanics are what make Long think his new protégé can have a big bounce-back season.
"Some of the things he changed with his swing had to do with his shoulder," Long said. "He was doing things to get by, which turned him into a strictly pull hitter. He'll still pull a lot of balls, but if he can use the middle of the field a little and use left-center just a little, his average will go way up and his production will go way up."
Of course, being a lefty pull hitter at Yankee Stadium can have its advantages. Hafner doesn't think there's anything wrong with pulling the ball as long as he keeps his swing short, enabling him to wait for his pitch and not chase balls outside the zone.
"I think it's going to be a great park for me to hit in and a great atmosphere," Hafner said. "I'm really looking forward to it."

I'm moving Inspiration Fridays to Inspiration Sundays, simply because it works better for me to have a think on the weekends when things are a bit more relaxed than during the week.
That being said, I recently came across an amazing channel on youtube called Art Documentaries, and it has a playlist of a BBC series titled What Do Artists Do All Day? I honestly have a hard time with watching just one episode, and I am not a marathon-series-watching individual. Either they don't hold my interest long enough, or I feel too antsy because I feel like I need to be getting something done, or I'm not being productive. It's easier with documentaries because I feel like I'm learning something. Otherwise, TV is not my preferred way of relaxing. That being said, I did watch the series on my computer at my desk while I worked on other projects, one of which I'll share in a moment.
But first, Vettriano. What I find so completely inspirational about this artist is that he is a (now) recognized, self-sufficient, successful, current artist. But he never went to art school. In fact his application to art school was rejected. He doesn't have a big, fancy studio - instead, he paints out of his home. And he has been quite popular, despite not being popular with the "high class artists," but he's been insanely popular with the general public. In fact, if you google him, I'm SURE you've come across at least one of his paintings before. He makes art that is easily relatable, even by people who have a more difficult time connecting with art, the "I don't get art" types. And I really don't get why (I mean I do, but I don't) his "credibility" as an artist was so heavily questioned - because he paints from photograph references. He sets the poses up. He's still in charge of choosing his subject matter. And he's doing it. No matter what anyone else thinks of him, no matter some people's negative opinions of his work, he's still putting himself out there. "At least I try." And try he does, all without a college degree and the student loan debt.
The reason it's inspirational to me, personally, is because I was strongly discouraged from going to art school. As in "we won't pay for you to go to school for a hobby" discouraged. Yeah, I could've been stubborn and taken out my own loans. I definitely had plenty of outside encouragement for it, having been accepted through a regional portfolio review for an intensive AP art class, or one of the administration at the Memphis College of Art telling me I would be instantly accepted if I applied, or having won several awards in juried shows. But it was scary doing it by myself. Tuition is scary. It's even more frightening now. I did go to college for architecture but dropped out in the middle of my third year (it was a six year program). And honestly, even though I know there are PLENTY of people who are bucking the system nowadays, finding jobs based on portfolios or a combination of work experience or a business taking a chance on them (I even married one such individual), this was 15 years ago. In the back of my head, I've always felt like a bit of a fraud because I don't have a select group of individuals signing off saying yep, I'm an artist. I felt more like a fraud going to school for something I really no longer felt in my heart, even though at first I did. It wasn't my first choice, and in school I realized it wasn't what I wanted to do. Dropping out was less scary than student loans. So here's Vettriano, proving that if you have the drive, the desire, that bit of you telling you that you need to do this, and you are willing to put in the effort to read the books, watch the videos, possibly find a mentor or mentors, educate yourself in most of the things that you'd do if you went to school, you can still have a successful art career. You just have to grow a thick skin to deal with the "purists."
And I think as a homeschooling parent, whose own children will be "bucking the system" so to speak, I feel even more driven to fulfill myself as a human being. Maybe so I don't feel like a fraud to them when I tell them to follow their dreams, whatever they may be.
I think they're adorable! I plan on making more, maybe other variations of the same ones, especially other color lithops, but I am currently out of tiny pots. So I'll attempt making some tiny pots out of polymer this time - these were ones I found as fairy garden accessories at Joann's.
What are your opinions on higher education for certain "trades"? While I would agree to maybe avoid having surgery done by someone who was purely self-taught, do you think there are certain degrees which aren't really a necessity (keeping in mind that there have been a number of successful individuals, such as Steve Jobs, who never got a college degree)? I'm not saying don't go to art school - if you can afford it and that's what you really want to do, go for it! But is it REALLY necessary? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Home News Nick Booth: Precious lefties waste anti-terror cops' time
Nick Booth: Precious lefties waste anti-terror cops' time
By Nick Booth
Have you ever wondered what the police have been up to while all these homicidal maniacs have been plotting our deaths?
Here's a clue. School teachers reported a pupil to an extremism watchdog, because he made a joke about a celebrity who'd had a sex change, and he campaigns for Ukip. Similarly, on Nick Ferrari's LBC phone-in show in recent weeks, a teacher said she spends of a lot her time monitoring 'right-wing extremism' – a phrase that tends to mean anything you want it to these days.
As recent events have shown, the anti-terror squad has very limited resources and time is their rarest, most precious commodity. To distract them from their duties, to referee whatever pathetic cyber playground squabble Owen Jones is involved in this week, should be a criminal offence. Why pull the anti-terror squad off a case, just because Katie Hopkins said a rude word? There's no evidence that anyone's ever been radicalised by a shock jock, so why is it a priority to be polite about the homicidal maniacs who want to kill us? That seems to override even our duty to protect ourselves. Or to report things accurately.
People are dying of ignorance, but it still seems to be more important that we don't get the classification of the homicidal maniacs wrong.
At least if there was an elephant in the room, we could identify it as an elephant. The culture of these homicidal maniacs must remain a mystery. Being scared of these homicidal maniacs, whose motivations cannot be discussed or even named, must remain, by definition, a 'fear of the unknown'. What's the word for that? Xenophobia! So in other words, we've now got institutionalised xenophobia, because the clampdown on free speech says we can't even discuss our fear of getting killed by these mysterious homicidal maniacs.
I don't know what's worse, the xenophobia or the fear of the xenophobia.
What we do know is that, in all probability, some of us will die horribly, quite soon, and no amount of tea lights and hashtags and clamping down on free speech will protect us from that. Meanwhile, anyone who does try to rationalise their fears could find themselves subject to a secretive online witch-hunt, led by cyber cowards desperately seeking a lightning rod to discharge their own insecurity.
If you shout at a kid that's wandering too close to a busy road, the parents won't tell you off for adopting the wrong tone or getting their name wrong. Everything about the homicidal maniacs is wrapped in mystery and we are never allowed to question it. So we're deliberately kept in the dark.
For example, we're now being told that some Muslims say they previously reported dodgy members of their own community. We will never know if that's true, since we can't trust the BBC to ever question anything that doesn't fit their narrative. Assuming it is true, maybe the police had other stuff that took priority. Such as newspaper columnists leaning on them and exerting their power to get their own way.
We already know that police resources are being diverted to investigating Katie Hopkins and following up anyone who might be deemed a right-wing tweeter. Or even schoolboys who aren't deferential enough towards celebrities. The immaturity and selfish of the people who abuse these services is even more staggering when you consider they are teachers and influencers – people who should have a sense of duty and responsibility.
I wonder how much police time has been taken up by interviewing members of the public who were insufficiently deferential to left-wing sensitivities.
While the police could have been watching terrorists, they were diverted to following up the "Owen Jones leads".

CoE Bishop's Statement on Who should Be Having Sex
The Archbishops of the Church of England issued a "pastoral" statement, ostensibly about the church's view of opposite-sex civil partnerships which reiterated the CoE's current policies and stances but that came across as tone-deaf pearl clutching,.

CombatCritic's "TravelValue": Montevergine, Italy: Shroud Of Turin's Former Home, Now Houses Famous Byzantine "Madonna"
Montevergine, Italy: Shroud Of Turin's Former Home, Now Houses Famous Byzantine "Madonna"
Mercogliano, a hillside town about 30 miles (50 kliks) east of and a world away from Naples, Italy, sits below the famous mountain-top abbey: Santuario di Montevergine. The abbey of Montevergine has been the site of religious orders dating back to the 12th Century and sits almost 5,000 above the base of Mount Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples. It was reportedly the hiding place of the Shroud of Turin during World War II (behind the massive altar) and is home to the massive and celebrated Byzantine painting on wood of the "Madonna" (Blessed Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus).
Entry to the abbey is free and the highlight is the Byzantine Madonna which consumes one wall of the chapel in which it is housed at the back of the main church. The church itself is unremarkable, but the exterior of the abbey is picturesque and the view of Avellino and the valley below is breathtaking.

UK Press: IRA Bomber Is A Journalist
UK and other European media are reporting the Irish national arrested on Sunday on suspicion of being a bomb-maker is actually a member of the press, covering events in Palestinian Authority areas.
Israel Questions Member of Irish Guerrilla Group Sonja Pace (VOA Jerusalem) & Ha'aretz
Israeli security officials are questioning a suspected member of an Irish guerrilla group for possible links to Palestinian militants. At the same time, two major Palestinian militant groups are warning that their self-imposed freeze on attacks against Israel could end. The latest news comes as Israel's Prime Minister held talks in London about Middle East peace prospects.
Israeli security sources said they arrested a foreigner, in the West Bank city of Ramallah, whom they believe is a member of the Real Irish Republican Army, a group that rejects any peace deal for Northern Ireland. Officials said the man entered Israel on a tourist visa and then slipped into the West Bank. They believe he may have been sent to train Palestinian militants in making bombs and explosives.
British intelligence is rechecking the truth of information recently sent to Israel about a Northern Irish bomb expert allegedly helping Palestinian terror cells. The John Morgan arrested near Ramallah turned out to be a journalist and pro-Palestinian peace activist, not a member of the Real IRA.
Irish sources told Ha'aretz the British security services had no up-to-date picture of the suspected terrorist, so they identified him only by name, and John Morgan is a common name. The Morgan believed to be a bomb specialist - not the one held in Israel - is in his 40s, lived in south Armagh, and is known to British and Irish security services. An Irish police source said this Morgan "disappeared three years ago as if the earth swallowed him and we began to suspect he was up to something."
But the Morgan arrested near Ramallah, also in his 40s, is a known journalist and teacher who lives in Belfast and works in promoting Gaelic language and culture. He also uses his Gaelic name, Sean O'Muireagain, not the approximate English translation John Morgan.
He is also a member of a pro-Palestinian organization known as the Irish-Palestinian Solidarity Movement, a Belfast branch of the International Solidarity Movement, which sends non-violence volunteers to the occupied territories to help human rights groups and Palestinians to deal with the Israeli military occupation authorities.
"It's preposterous, we believe this is mistaken identity, they've picked up an Irishman, he's from Belfast, and maybe they've put two and two together and got 16," Kathleen Connell, secretary of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign in Belfast, told Reuters.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon held talks in London Monday with his British counterpart Tony Blair. He wants to press Blair and other European leaders to cut any links with Palestinian President Yasir Arafat, whom Israel accuses of supporting terrorism and sabotaging peace efforts.
But in Ramallah Sunday, Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas and visiting Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov appealed to Israel to allow Arafat freedom of movement. Arafat has been under virtual house arrest in his compound in Ramallah for the last year and a half. Israeli troops have demolished most of the buildings in the compound. Israel has said that Arafat is free to leave, but it will not guarantee that he would be allowed to return.
In the past few days Palestinian security forces have begun confiscating illegal weapons in Gaza and have arrested several people for having unlicensed guns. Two major Palestinian militant groups - Islamic Jihad and Hamas have warned their unilateral ceasefire for attacks against Israel could unravel if the Palestinian Authority insists on disarming their fighters.
Survey: Many Palestinians Not Anxious to Return to Israel
By Irris Makler (VOA-Ramallah)
A survey finds the majority of Palestinian refugees would not wish to return to Israel after a peace deal is negotiated. It says most would prefer to remain where they are now or move to live under Palestinian control in the West Bank or Gaza strip. But the Palestinian organization, which conducted the survey, could not release its findings because hundreds of Palestinians trashed its offices.
Its one of the most emotive issues in the Mideast conflict - the right of Palestinians to return to land occupied by their families before the state of Israel was established in 1948.
Palestinians insist on this right in recognition of their losses of land and homes. But Israelis fear the return of refugees and their descendants, more than 4 million people scattered throughout the Middle East, arguing that absorbing this number would alter the nature of the Jewish state.
Just how emotive an issue this is was evident Sunday when the publication of survey data by a Palestinian think tank was prevented by an angry Palestinian mob. The press conference at the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research - an independent academic institute in Ramallah - was stormed by hundreds of people bused in from surrounding refugee camps. The crowd ran up the stairs, throwing eggs and coffee, breaking windows and trashing the offices, preventing publication of the findings.
"We are here to protest against this organization of spies, and its discredited survey which has been funded by Americans and Zionists, against the refugees and the right of return", said one protester. "My family has struggled so hard for us to return over more than 50 years and now this spy comes and tells lies, saying that we don't want to go home", said a second man.
The protesters handed out leaflets in English published by the PLO, calling the results of the survey fabricated. "We certainly didn't expect this, no indication that any of this would happen," said Dr. Khalil Shiqaqi, the director of the Policy Research Center.
He denied the results were fabricated, and that the survey, the first of its kind - was the result of three years of research. Shiqaqi said the protesters were misled about the information in the survey. "We believe that most of the people had no idea whatsoever what the results are, the statement they published was full of outright lies about the results," he says. "They said that 95 percent give up right of return whereas in fact 95 percent insist on right of return - and survey is trying to find what happens next."
The findings are that in opposition to Jewish fears, most refugees do not want to return to land their families lost in Israel. All want recognition of their right to return, but 55 percent want to move to the Palestinian controlled West Bank or Gaza and 20 percent want to stay where they are, or immigrate overseas to countries such as Germany.
Most Palestinians surveyed say that they would accept financial compensation to give up the right of return although some families expect hundreds of thousands of dollars. Israeli authorities have not yet had a chance to see and respond to this data.

I like to think that I am not addicted to social media, but there is no doubt that checking updates, posting comments and engaging in discussions take up time and mental space.
My son's comment to me a few months ago that "you're a nicer person without your iPhone" was mainly due to being distracted by social media. It was painful to hear but important to listen to.
Going without such online distractions for six weeks gave my life more breathing space. It helped me pray and reflect. So I have decided to do the same thing for this Advent.
It's not to condemn social media. I like Facebook and will continue to use it after Christmas. But I do believe it is good for us to have seasons where we intentionally do something different.
"Fasting" from something we usually do can provide a positive opportunity to deepen and re-order our lives in a healthier way. So what kind of a difference could a fast from using social media make?
1. It could help us engage more deeply in the real world around us.
Be more intentional about engaging with the real people around you. Focusing less on your Facebook friends could be an opportunity to be more intentional about spending more quality time with the friends and family around you.
2. It could help us reject the toxic materialism of Christmas.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby spoke out recently about the materialism that spoils Christmas by putting pressure on families.
Yet against these comments, the John Lewis Retail 2013 Christmas advert has had more than 8.5 million hits on YouTube.
We have to realize that Facebook is not our friend. It bombards us with tailored adverts designed to create discontent and increase our spending. Withdrawing from social media lessens our exposure to the toxic propaganda of consumerism.
3. It could help us be renewed by something deeper.
If we lead busy lives, the weeks before Christmas are often twice as busy. How do we resist what Andy Flannagan describes as "drowning in the shallow" of our superficial culture?
The best way is by rooting ourselves more intentionally and deeply in divine love: the love of a down-to-earth God who comes to us as a vulnerable baby, a seed of hope which has transformed the world forever.
Advent is a time to be intentional about spirituality rather than it being last on our list of priorities. If you pray, pray more. If you don't, start. Spend time in silence.
To help do this, you might find this Advent Challenge useful. It gives 24 days of reflections for each day of Advent that combines silence, readings and prayer and will help you focus on the person at the center of the whole celebration.

A serious single-vehicle roll-over was caused early morning on December 4 by a deep slick of some kind of waste matter spilled on Highway 148 near Parker Road in Luskville. Pools of what appeared to be septic waste or liquid animal manure were at least two or three meters in length and possibly 4 cm in depth, according to witnesses.
The houses on the Quyon Pastoral Charge Christmas House Tour warmly received 150 visitors this year. Five family homes in Quyon and Luskville were decorated to perfection to the appreciation of all. Above, the Draper homestead in Luskville.
SHAWVILLE — The leader of the Conservative Party of Canada spent the first day of December visiting the federal riding of Pontiac with stops in Campbell's Bay, Fort Coulonge and Shawville to speak to farmers, small business owners and voters about the CPC's position on the Liberal government's tax policy and to show the Conservative's strong support of supply management.
The jolly jingle of Christmas bells mingled with the merry cling-clang on forks on plates at the annual Parents of the Municipality of Pontiac (PMP) Breakfast with Santa event on Saturday December 2nd.
LUSKVILLE — Pontiac's twelfth Council conducted its first public meeting Tuesday with many new faces following the municipal election on November 5th.
Slippery driving and chilly weather did not deter participants from attending the annual craft bazaar and breakfast event at the Luskville Community Centre on Sunday, November 19th.
With the foundation poured and water pipes being installed, construction on the new community centre in Quyon is progressing quickly.

Ensure that your child has the correct uniform including PE kit and footwear, a book bag and a PE bag, all of which should be marked with your child's name. (Sweatshirts, P.E. shirts, Book bags and PE bags can be bought from www.differentclassschoolwear.co.uk user name: bourne password: primary). You should also provide a bottle of water and if your child is bringing a packed lunch from home, a suitable bag/container; please note that unfortunately we do not have facilities to refrigerate lunch so an insulated bag/container is preferable – again these should be named. The water bottle and lunch container should be taken home for cleaning on a daily basis; your child should keep their PE kit in a bag at school and taken home for washing at the end of each half term. Remember that your child goes outside for breaks and for learning activities so in cold/wet weather ensure that your child has a suitable coat/jacket and shoes. You do NOT need to provide any pencils, pens, erasers, rulers, sharpeners or books!!
8.40 for Nursery and 8.50 for reception. The gate is closed at 9.00am. Pupils arriving after this time are late and must sign in at the office.
Unfortunately there is very limited space in our car park and there is no space for parents to park. Unfortunately there is no parking available on the streets immediately surrounding school as they are for residents only. The nearest parking is at the GAA club, which is on the other side of the park.
For a number of reasons, including the safety of your child, we would ask that you do NOT come into school with your child; it is a very busy time and we need to get the children settled in class as soon as possible – if your child needs help one of our staff will help. If you need to speak to the teacher and it will keep until the end of the day this is more convenient and less disruptive for your child and his/her classmates. If you need to get a message to the teacher urgently please give the teacher a note or ask our office staff to pass on a message.
The playground doors have to be shut as soon as the last children have entered the building. If you are later than 9.00 a.m. please bring your child into school via the main entrance and ensure that the office staff note his/her name and class – this is necessary in case your child has missed morning registration. If you are very late please tell the office staff the reason why as this needs to be recorded. It is important to try your best to be punctual but no matter how late you are please do bring your child to school except if s/he is unwell.
When does my child have breaks?
You are entitled to take your child home for lunch but we do not encourage this as it means that s/he misses out on the social aspect of lunch break and depending how far you live from school it can be quite a rush in order to get back ON TIME for the afternoon session.
A. If you have applied and your child is entitled to Free School Meals please let the office staff know that you would like your child to have a hot lunch; vegetarian and special dietary requirement lunches are available. If you need to make an application this is done online. The Eligibility Checker is available on the following link free school meals eligibility checker and you will need your National Insurance Number and Date of Birth to apply.
B. If you are not entitled to Free School Meals then you can purchase hot lunches from school for your child; these cost £2.25 per day and must be booked and paid for in advance via Schoolmoney. Menus are emailed to parents and the meals must be booked by the previous Wednesday. Please contact the school office if you need any assistance.
C. If you prefer to provide your child with a packed lunch from home please ensure that it is healthy – no glass bottles, fizzy drinks or sweets!
If you have an emergency whereby you are unable to collect your child at the end of the day you must contact the office staff immediately. If a child is not collected at 3.00 p.m. we will check for any information about changes to the normal collection routines. If no information is available, we will attempt to contact parents/carers at home/work/mobile phones. After 3.15pm your child will be sent to the After-School club and you will be charged for this. If by 4p.m your child remains uncollected and there has been no contact made by parents or carers, it will be necessary to contact Social Services.
If your child is unable to attend school for any reason please phone the school office on 01895462359 to let us know. Please give your child's name, class and the reason for his/her absence. If you do not contact us, we will phone you to enquire about your child's absence. If you know in advance that your child is going to be absent (e.g. hospital appointment) please let us know.
We would ask that you try to avoid taking your child out of school whenever possible; most appointments can be arranged outside school hours. Proof of appointments may be requested.
The law requires you to send your child to school every day that it is open. It is school policy not to authorise requests for leave of absence. Please remember that the more time your children miss from school, the more difficult it is for them to catch up missed learning. If you have an exceptional circumstance and need to take your child out of school during term time you must make your application in writing in advance and you may need to attend a meeting with the Deputy Head teacher.
It is probably most appropriate to speak to your child's teacher in the first instance, even if the problem is with him/her. S/he may refer the matter to another member of staff such as the Phase Leaders, Designated Safeguarding Lead, Deputy Headteacher or Head teacher.
What shall I do if I have a concern or comment?
Again, it is probably most appropriate to speak to your child's teacher in the first instance. They will be available in the school playground at the end of each day. Our leaflet What to do if you Have a Concern gives you full information on how to direct your concern or comment.
In the Autumn and Spring term you will have the opportunity to meet with your child's class teacher at our Parents Evenings. Your child is continually assessed and we will report to you termly. In addition, every Tuesday morning is set aside for Parent consultation where you can make an appointment with the class teacher to discuss your child's ongoing progress.

MPI Announces 2011 RISE Award Winners
MPI Announces 2011 RISE Awards Recipients
Recipients influence the present, inspire the future
Meeting Professionals International (MPI) recently announced five recipients for the 2011 Recognizing Industry Success and Excellence (RISE) Awards. The outstanding achievements of these individuals, communities and organizations will be acknowledged at the RISE Awards presentation and lunch on July 24, 2011 during MPI's World Education Congress (WEC) in Orlando, Florida.
The RISE Awards include annual awards in three categories: individual achievement, community achievement and organizational achievement. Recipients are recognized for innovation, influence, global transferability and impact. This is the second year that the awards will be given for all three categories within the program.
"Courageous thought and effort are usually behind results that inspire. The recipients remind us what one person and one organization can do" said Brian Palmer, CMM, Chairman of the RISE Awards Judging Panel.
The RISE Award for Young Professional Achievement will be presented to recent Central Michigan University (CMU) graduate, Courtney Stanley for creating networking and hands-on opportunities for CMU Event Management students. She has partnered with the Country Music Association (CMA) and the Boston Marathon to create learning opportunities for students. She has just finished a publication that outlines a program entitled, "Beyond Hands On", which works to create partnerships with event industry organizations in return for comprehensively trained student professionals.
The RISE Award for Meeting Industry Leadership will be presented to Maarten Vanneste, CMM, the author and publisher of "Meeting Architecture, A Manifesto." Maarten's work is changing the way professionals approach the planning of meetings. The tools and logic he has created enable meeting professionals to design meetings that achieve results based on objectives. His work will leave a lasting legacy on how we evolve the practice of meeting design and further emphasize the importance of meetings and events as an essential tool in creating business value.
The RISE Award for Member of the Year will be presented to MaryAnne Bobrow, CAE, CMP, CMM, CHE for her volunteerism in the MPI community. MaryAnne has consistently served in countless volunteer service roles for her MPI chapter and internationally. As a lifelong learner, teacher, contributor, and mentor she strives to give back to those who have contributed to her success.
The RISE Award for Community Achievement in Knowledge and Ideas will be presented to the MPI Minnesota Chapter for its development and execution of the Emerging Leaders Program (EL). Created to provide targeted programming to members new to the industry, the EL provides networking opportunities and education geared towards these individuals.
The RISE Award for Organizational Achievement will be presented to the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), in Cape Town, South Africa for its exceptional use of meetings and events to enhance economic spinoff and improve and influence its local community. In addition to providing income and jobs to Cape Town and the Western Cape, the centre has developed a model and format that has seen it become an industry leader in sustainability, which other South African businesses can and do follow to provide profitable and societal impact. The initiatives by the CTICC have enabled it to meet its goal of becoming a leading convention centre in the African continent while elevating the image of its community.

Q: Refresh jQuery dataTable which is using pipeline function I am having trouble refreshing data on datatables. I'm using the datatable pipeline example from datatable, due to large amounts of data. But I can't  find a way to force a refresh after data modification (using a form, from a bootstrap dialogue).
how can I force a refresh of pipeline?
Without pipeline, oTable.api().ajax.reload() works perfectly. But I don't understand how I can do the same using the function here:
// Pipelining function for DataTables. To be used to the 'ajax' option of DataTables

$.fn.dataTable.pipeline = function ( opts ) {
    // Configuration options
    var conf = $.extend( {
        pages: 5,     // number of pages to cache
        url: '',      // script url
        data: null,   // function or object with parameters to send to the server
                      // matching how `ajax.data` works in DataTables
        method: 'GET' // Ajax HTTP method
    }, opts );

    // Private variables for storing the cache
    var cacheLower = -1;
    var cacheUpper = null;
    var cacheLastRequest = null;
    var cacheLastJson = null;

    return function ( request, drawCallback, settings ) {
        var ajax          = false;
        var requestStart  = request.start;
        var drawStart     = request.start;
        var requestLength = request.length;
        var requestEnd    = requestStart + requestLength;

        if ( settings.clearCache ) {
            // API requested that the cache be cleared
            ajax = true;
            settings.clearCache = false;
        }
        else if ( cacheLower < 0 || requestStart < cacheLower || requestEnd > cacheUpper ) {
            // outside cached data - need to make a request
            ajax = true;
        }
        else if ( JSON.stringify( request.order )   !== JSON.stringify( cacheLastRequest.order ) ||
                  JSON.stringify( request.columns ) !== JSON.stringify( cacheLastRequest.columns ) ||
                  JSON.stringify( request.search )  !== JSON.stringify( cacheLastRequest.search )
        ) {
            // properties changed (ordering, columns, searching)
            ajax = true;

            pages: 5 // number of pages to cache
        } )
    } );
} );

A: Allan (datatables's author) answer this question on his forum :

The pipeline example code actually registers a plug-in API method
  which provides the ability to clear the pipeline - you could use it
  thus:
table.clearPipeline().draw();

i.e. clear and then reload.

in my case I used this syntax to make it work :
$('table.dataTable').DataTable().clearPipeline().draw();

As many as 25% of those with a tattoo say they regret getting it. If you're in that 25%, there is good news. Laser tattoo removal techniques can get rid of your unwanted tattoo with minimal side effects. How It Works. Lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment colors with a high-intensity light beam.
Anyone who tells you the exact number of treatments to remove your tattoo is trying to sell you something based on false promises. The average time to remove a professionally applied tattoo ranges from 9 months to 18 months. Some tattoos take longer, some come off faster.
Typically, 3-10 tattoo laser removal treatments are required to remove a tattoo. The amount of treatments you need depends on the size of the tattoo, the color, the location, what type of ink was used, your skin color and your skin's ability to heal.

Jimbob's Feel Good Blog: "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow."
Well, after Plugging into Popular Culture, and Letting My Monkey Mind Float Away, I got a little down in the dumps. Turns out that popular culture hasn't got a lot of good vibes going for it. I watched a lot of sports and random YouTube clips, and while this did give me a break from my own neurosis and obsessive thoughts, the vibration of the content either kept me at the same lowish state that I was before, or helped drag me down further. It's actually very rare that something on TV can take you higher in terms of inspiration. There are a few movies like "Cool Hand Luke" or maybe "Me, Myself and Irene" that can help to lift my spirits, but most of it, honestly, seems to be junk food for the soul.
Thoughts are just like food. There is a lot of fast-food advertising thrown at us daily, and you have to really go and search for good quality organic fruits and veg that will put life back into you. For me, popular culture is just the same. I really have to search hard for good vibrational content. When I read back over my last post about Plugging Into Popular Culture, I couldn't help but sense the sarcasm of which I was mostly unaware of when writing it. Meditating on the moment definitely serves a purpose (quieting the mind), but it doesn't take the soul's feeling anywhere unless the subject has a feel good vibe to it.
I'm pretty damn sure that I have ADD. To me, a lot of ADD types seem to be quite sensitive people. Defo the case for me. Most of my immediate reality filled me with a horrendous feeling when I was young. Less so now, but it's still there. The ADD person really HAS to tune out of their surroundings and daydream, or else their soul gets tugged and swayed too much. There's nothing wrong with being ADD. Infact it's a gift of "feeling" too much. So we just gotto tune out sometimes. It's often said that you will do better in this world if you are "thick skinned". It's true in a way. But it come at the expense of being numb to the feeling of your soul. They're just two sides of the same coin really.
Anyway, the only thing that pulls me out of a pit of despair like this Imagining. The Ego is like wearing a pair of tinted spectacles. A lot of people generally have angry, anxious or fearful obsessive thoughts. So you start seeing the scary side of life in everything. What I do is make sure that I have obsessive thoughts about the best feeling things I can think of. The world just seems to change colour. This is when the inspiration kicks in. I just gotto remember sometimes, to get back to Imagining to keep the inspiration tank full.
An example of an imagination session goes something like this: Imagine that I had no fear in me. Imagine that the feeling of pain in my heart bleeding out gradually stopped, and a joyous feeling took over. Imagine that a momentum took over, and I got a rumbling sort of sensation in my chest that felt like courage and inspiration taking off. A drum beat thundering and crashing that would drive me on regardless of the pain in the world. Imagine that Jesus was standing beside me, whispering encouragement into my ear. Imagine Jesus was standing by everyone in the world and we all felt good. Imagine that this "reality" was the illusion, and that my illusions of heaven were reality. Imagine that I could wake up easily from this little story that I happen to be caught up in, and realize that it was just an experience of not being One.
Ok, ok, ok Jimbob, enough with the crazy jibber jabber. But honest to God, whether there is a heaven, or whether this immediate reality is all there is, this imagination thing makes me feel better, and takes me out of misery. So just try it if you're the kind that has a knack for tripping over and accidently falling into pits of despair. Some may call you crazy, and say that you are living in a fantasy land. Fine, but at least it makes you feel good.

Illinois hits new fiscal setback over public school funding
By Brittany De LeaFOXBusiness
Despite reaching a budget deal to end a record spending impasse last month, Illinois' fiscal troubles are not over as the state's Republican governor on Tuesday vetoed a measure that could mean public schools will be forced to go without funding.
Gov. Bruce Rauner received an education funding strategy bill on Monday from the Democratic-controlled legislature, which requested additional funds for Chicago Public Schools and their pensions. Rauner issued an amendatory veto on the measure and sent it back to the state legislature. Rauner said his changes would provide for "a fairer funding system", adding that state-wide pension reform should be addressed in separate legislation.
In order for the bill to move forward, the state House and Senate will need to either override Rauner's veto or approve his changes. For that to happen, both chambers will need three-fifths majorities in either direction, something that could prove challenging in a state that has been plagued by partisan gridlock. Without agreement, the bill will die, which means state public schools will not receive funding before classes begin.
As part of a budget deal reached last month, the state government needs to administer a new prescription for public school funding or schools won't receive anything.
Rauner and the Democratic-controlled state legislature have butted heads for years over spending in Illinois, which has resulted in paralyzing policy gridlock. From 2015 through 2017, the two sides were unable to agree on a budget deal, leaving the state with a $15 billion backlog in unpaid bills, and $250 billion in unfunded pension liabilities. It narrowly avoided being downgraded by the major credit ratings agencies to non-investment grade, or junk, earlier this year – though Illinois still boasts the lowest rating out of every U.S. state.
Earlier this year, Illinois barely broke a record spending impasse at the last minute before it entered a third straight fiscal year without a budget deal.

Okay I got that wrong, I should have said 60th street where Central Park begins.
Anyway, when I went there it felt vast, and I've never met anyone who thought NY was small. On what basis do they think it's small?
New York is broken up. You have bridges/tunnels connecting the boroughs to Manhattan, and Central Park does break up the continuity and that is probably a good thing for most visitors.
As other posters mentioned you have like 2 downtown areas in New York. The city has far more changes in density and diverse building patterns than people are aware of or like to admit. Everyone remembers the grid pattern in Manhattan and the subways but once you go outside of that beaten path, into areas primarily served by the bus, with mid-rises instead of high-rises, New York is a much different place.
You don't have to go far either; Staten Island is the most obvious example but you also have Queens and the Bronx, for some variety in relation to the sea of towers you have in Manhattan.
New York isn't small, but it is big enough for most people. There will always be a select few looking for something bigger/better, even if it is not realistic for the environment, or for local economies, to sustain such development/infrastructure.
Tokyo and a handful of other Asian cities can make New York seem quaint in density and scale. I've never heard of anyone thinking NYC or Manhattan is small though and the vast majority of the city is not on a unified grid. Perhaps NYC's true boundaries are smaller than many cities, but the urban area is gigantic.
Also, technically everything south of 59th street is in a business district. Though Midtown South is heavily residential, there is more office space there than almost any other U.S city.
Hardly...NYC is still up there in density and scale.
Bigger? I'm fairly sure NYC has the biggest central business district in the world, or at least second or on par with Tokyo.
Are you referring to midtown?
It's true that Manhattan's density kills the Yamamote Loop (60 sq miles, population 2.2 million), but Tokyo's amazingly consistent 35-45k ppsm density in the outer wards give it the overall size edge. That amazing considering the size and scale of BK, Queens, and The Bronx.
At the metro level, Tokyo fits 16 million more people in a smaller footprint than New York. Just staggering numbers.
Last edited by Yac; 03-18-2014 at 08:13 AM..
I would assume yes. Midtown Manhattan is usually thought of as the largest business district in the world, and is certainly larger than any contiguous business district in Tokyo.
But Tokyo has a ton of smaller business districts that are more separated from one another. Manhattan's business core tends to be more unitary and contiguous. I would guess that overall, Tokyo and NYC have the largest total amount of office space of any cities on earth.
Midtown, Downtown and everything in between.

What Rose Forgot by Nevada Barr
I started reading Nevada Barr's National Parks / Anna Pigeon mystery novels last year and quickly fell in love with Barr's complex characters and beautiful descriptive writing. WHAT ROSE FORGOT is the first stand-alone novel by Barr that I've read, though she's written several (they're all on my TBR!).
All of the great aspects of Barr's writing that I appreciate in her mystery series are in this latest book, along with some unique elements that really made it stand out for me.
Rose Dennis wakes up disoriented, with no memory, standing in a hospital gown in an unrecognizable neighborhood. Turns out, she's run away from a nursing home, but she has no memory of being committed to one in the first place. When her whereabouts are discovered, she fights the orderlies tooth and nail, dead set on not being returned to a place she doesn't remember and is sure she doesn't belong in.
She feels betrayed by both her family and her body as she struggles against the restraints and the sedation she's subjected to once back under the care of the nursing home. Is she going crazy? Does she really have Alzheimer's like her family and the nurses say she does? What is going on?
Just as she starts to resign herself to her fate, Rose hears one of the hospital administrators say she won't make it through the week, which convinces Rose something sinister is afoot. She starts hiding her meds and planning her escape. But once she's out, how can she convince her family she's not demented? After all, isn't paranoia and multiple escape attempts pretty on brand for someone who's off their rocker?
Rose elicits the help of her computer-hacking hermit sister, Marion, and 13-year-old granddaughter, Mel, to help solve the mystery of what happened and why, but their search will lead them into even more danger as they accidentally uncover something bigger and scarier than they could have ever imagined.
WHAT ROSE FORGOT is told in present tense, with a single point of view (Rose's), which makes for a unique experience. Because of Rose's confused state at the start of the book, she makes for a pretty untrustworthy narrator. I spent the majority of the book unsure of whether I could believe her take on things, especially because the responses of people around her seemed pretty sensible considering Rose's antics. As the reader, this created a lot of tension that I personally found fun to try to riddle my way through.
My only minor issue while reading is that there were quite a few characters and I had a hard time keeping track of them all, especially as most of the minor characters are pretty one dimensional due to only having the single POV. Whenever a name got thrown out, I found myself struggling to remember who this was and why they mattered and what I knew about them already, if anything. That was a bit frustrating, but other than that, this was a really fun read.
Rose makes for a fantastic character — feisty, funny, and someone you're rooting for the whole time, even when you're not sure if you should be. I also loved the pair-up of 60-something Rose and her 13-year-old granddaughter. What a fun duo! I'd love to see a whole mystery series around these two, with wise-cracking, code-cracking sister Marion making random appearances.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves mysteries, character-driven stories, and hilarious, sometimes over-the-top hijinks. This was a joy to read and unravel, and I won't be forgetting Rose, Mel, or Marion anytime soon.

MsDewey
(Live search)
Since Sep 2006 until Jan 2009 in English , Text recognition, Commercial
Ms. Dewey was a viral marketing campaign started by Microsoft in October 2006. It also refers to the character of the same name, who is the campaign's main subject. The Ms. Dewey website was an Adobe Flash-based experimental interface for Live Search. The interface features a modern-looking cityscape as a backdrop with the character on the left side, while the search results appear on the right. The cityscape backdrop changed depending on the time of day.
Developed by advertising agency, McCann-Erickson, San Francisco and digital content marketing firm, "EVB San Francisco", Ms. Dewey appeared to be an interactive search assistant who audibly commented on searched keywords in her own style and made random actions when idle, including taking props from behind her desk. The responses actually consisted of about 600 video clips recorded over a period of three days.
Microsoft did not overtly market the website, and appeared to be relying on media coverage to draw users in. Janina Gavankar played the role of the Ms. Dewey character.
At January 2009 the website became inactive.

Recently, the Mumbai bench of the I-T Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) upheld the 'tax exempt' status of ASB for the year 1997-98.The I-T Act provides exemption to entities engaged in imparting education.
MUMBAI: The American School of Bombay (ASB), a prominent international school in Mumbai catering largely to needs of children from the expat community, especially Americans working in Mumbai, has in a long-drawn tax litigation won its right to claim Income-Tax (I-T) exemption. In 1981, the school was set up in a single room in the American Consulate with just 12 students. It has grown since, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) program was introduced by it in 1998. In this regard, it had obtained permission from India's Ministry of External Affairs.
Recently, the Mumbai bench of the I-T Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) upheld the 'tax exempt' status of ASB for the year 1997-98. The I-T Act provides exemption to entities engaged in imparting education. For this particular year, the I-T officer had sought to tax an income of Rs17.50 crore, as the department viewed that the school was "engaged in imparting education but was also carrying out business activity for the purpose of earning profit." This sum, which was sought to be taxed, comprised of income such as tuition fees, donations, interest income and disallowance of expenses incurred in running the school operations, which were added back to the school's 'taxable' income.
As the Commissioner of I-T Appeals (CIT-A) had passed an order in favour of the school, the I-T department filed an appeal with ITAT. In its petition, it raised various points of contention, such as whether CIT-A was justified in directing tax exemption under section 10(22) as the school was set up as a beneficiary trust whose beneficiaries were foreigners. It also questioned grant of tax exemption despite that fact that ASB was receiving part fees from students in India and part of the fees were collected in foreign exchange abroad, by an arrangement with an organisation SAIESF (South Asia International Education Services Foundation), based in New Jersey. This organisation was out of the purview of audit in India, the I-T department pointed out. Adding to the complexities, owing to the floods in July 2005, the school, situated in a low-lying area in Bandra-Kurla Complex, lost many of its records which during assessment would have substantiated the expenditure incurred by it.
The ITAT held the requirement under section 10(22)for claiming exemption is that the institute must exist solely for educational purposes in India. Whether it is part of a university outside India is not relevant. This section was applicable to the year under dispute and omitted in the subsequent year. ITAT added the section does not contain any requirement for audit of accounts etc contained in the existing section 10 (23C) (vi) of the I-T Act. In its order of November 28, ITAT also said that from the heads of expenses in the 'income and expenditure statement,' it is evident these expenses are all required for running a school.


To debug SharePoint Framework extensions you need a set of specific query string parameters. Here is the easiest way to get them.
Recently Microsoft released the developer preview of SharePoint Framework extensions - a new set of customization capabilities for extending SharePoint modern UI. SharePoint Framework extensions provide an answer to highly requested scenarios such as consistent script embedding or controlling field rendering. The developer preview gives you a glimpse into what's coming along with the opportunity to provide Microsoft feedback with what could be improved.
In the developer preview of the SharePoint Framework extensions, the only way to debug extensions is by attaching them to an Office 365 developer tenant. SharePoint Workbench currently doesn't offer support for testing extensions, but Microsoft is considering it for the future releases of the SharePoint Framework.
While the query string parameters are similar, they are not quite the same and for them to work as intended, you have to write them just right.
The documentation for SharePoint Framework extensions provides you the exact snippets, that you could use and adapt to work with your extensions, but there is an easier way to get the correct query string parameters for your extensions.
To simplify debugging of SharePoint Framework extensions, I created a custom gulp task, that on each build outputs the complete set of debug query string parameters for all extensions in the current project.
After running the serve-info task, the local server hosting the extensions is active, and all you need to do, is to navigate to your Office 365 developer tenant and add the query string parameters for the extension that you want to test to the URL.
To start using the serve-info task in your project, navigate to the SharePoint PnP GitHub repo and follow the setup instructions. Please, don't hesitate to reach out, if there is anything you think could be improved.
