Govt must be transparent with economic data -Isaac Adongo
By: Emmanuel Bruce
Isaac Adongo
The Member of Parliament of Bolgatanga Central, Mr Isaac Adongo, has called on the government to be transparent and ethical in the presentation of the state of the economy to Ghanaians and the international community in general.
In an article that commented on the raging debate on data credibility, the MP said evidence abound that the government had been inconsistent in the presentation of the economy to Ghanaians and the IMF.
He said this does not put the country in good light in the international community and the government must, therefore, come clean on it.
He mentioned the fiscal deficit, the gross and net international reserves, the debt stock and the debt-to-GDP ratio as some of the economic indices that had two different figures; the ones presented to Ghanaians and those presented to or released by the IMF,
On the fiscal deficit, he explained that while the fund insisted that the energy sector and the financial sector costs should be added in the calculation of the deficit, the government thought otherwise, hence the reasons for the differences in deficit figures for the 2017/18/19 fiscal years.
He said the government had also been inflating the country's gross and net international reserves by adding the petroleum funds, which are encumbered, and that is contrary to the internationally-accepted methodology.
"It is obviously clear that Ghana cannot have its own set of reporting standards on international reserves different from the IMF balance of payment manual five (BPM 5), which all countries are enjoined to comply with. A dispute should, therefore, never arise with methodology with IMF because once that happens, foreign investors will not trust that data," he noted.
He said the disparities in the data presented to Ghanaians and those presented to or released by the IMF were not limited to only fiscal deficits and international reserves, but extended to gross public debt and debt-to-GDP ratio.
"The document released by the IMF in April 2020 contained disparity in public debt too. The IMF report quoted Ghana's nominal GDP at GH¢347 billion and a debt-to-GDP ratio of 61.1 per cent. This gives a public debt of GH¢212 billion. In the government's communications locally, however, the debt stock is quoted at GH¢203 billion, representing a whopping GH¢9 billion difference," he stated.
Two sets of data on one economy
Mr Adongo, said this was an indication that the government currently had two different sets of data which it choses from depending on the situation and purpose.
He said the government since its assumption of power in 2017, had never compiled and presented full year data on the management of the economy to Parliament as required by law.
"Since 2017, the Finance Minister has been presenting interim data to Parliament. Thus, how our government used three months after the end of 2019 to get full year data for the performance of the economy in that fiscal year for the IMF but never had end of year data for 2018 for Ghanaians – 11 months after 2018 in the 2020 budget – and have still not reported 2017 final year figures to Parliament – after two full years of budget implementation – baffles me.
"It is obvious that but for the need to apply for the Rapid Credit Facility (RCF), Ghanaians would never have known the economic mess we are in," he stated.
IMF doesn't produce data
Mr Adongo also noted that globally, the IMF works with countries to obtain data on the status of their economies, therefore, the Fund cannot have data on Ghana's economy that does not originate from the government.
"However, since the government sort to suppress its overall balance by excluding the costs of energy sector and financial sector payments and payments to contractors it made through Fidelity Bank, which are contrary to internationally-accepted way of calculating deficits, and reported same to Ghanaians, it could not do same when reporting to the IMF.
"At this moment, it is obvious that the international community will evaluate Ghana not by the data cooked for Ghanaians but by the data that was agreed with and presented to and/or generated by the IMF," he stated.

A Quarry is Monitored from the Air
Following are four sets of aerial images of the Lehigh (aka Permanente) Quarry behind Cupertino.
The first three sets each contain a series of pictures taken on single flight. These three flights spanned approximately a decade. Lastly there is a series of five images scrounged from Google Earth, and a Project Map showing some details associated with a reclamation plan.
Google Earth series covering 1948, 1953, 1991, 2007, 2019 + Reclamation Map
This first set of pictures dates from October 2003.
Looking South, towards the western end of the spoils dump which is being spread out over the ridge top and is visible as a scar on the green of the hillside from many points in Silicon Valley. This "view" was once protected by a ridgeline view easement marked on the hillside by four monuments. Part of the ridgeline however collapsed during an earthquake because mining and dirt removal had come too close to the back of it - and the markers can no longer be found. How terribly convenient.
Looking West along the ridge, the San Antonio Open Space Preserve and Los Altos are off the upper right corner. Clearly visible here is the site of one of the landslides where the edge of the "hole" has collapsed and slid down into the hole.
This "overburden" from multiple slides triggered by multiple quakes is now in the way of getting to "the good stuff" and has to be removed and dumped somewhere...
A closer look at the site of one of the landslides with a view of Los Altos Hills over the ridge.
A view of the extreme western end of where dumping is occurring during the period when this flight took place, the water run-off from this area will eventualy find its way into Permanente Creek.
Looking almost vertically down over the North slope of the dump area facing the San Antonio Open Space Preserve (visible at top) with Silicon Valley and The Bay behind it - where water run-off from this area will end up.
This second set of pictures dates from January 2007
General view of the "main pit" - note how thin the remaining wall of the ridge is looking towards Los Altos (top of picture)
The scar of one landslide is still plainly visible at the upper left side of the hole, but there have in fact been multiple landslides not as readily apparent as this one. One went down the far side of the ridge and ended up on land owned by the Mid-Peninsula Regional Open Space District.
Multiple colors clearly show up in the dumping area - showing that piles are trucked in from various different sections of the quarry
Looking down over the western edge of the dump area - view towards San Antonio Open Space Preserve and Los Altos to the left. Rain water falling on these porous piles of rock might actually leach out some interesting chemical compounds and then collect and carry them off via a convenient creek to the Bay via Los Altos and Mountain View. What a surprise...
The ugly scar over what was supposed to be a view-protected ridgeline will be hydro-seeded to establish some cover vegetation.
Five years later, it would appear that hydro-seeding rock quarry-spoils doen't seem to work - the world is full of surprises. So much for "Restoration Plans"...
A view of the back side of the quarry - just as impressive...
A lateral view over the western end with San Antonio Open Space Preseve to the North behind.it.
Looking down vertically over the western end - the water run-off channel at the toe of the slope can be clearly seen. It flows generaly north (top of picture) and will end up flowing into Hale Creek or Permanente Creek.
This third and last set of pictures was taken in February 2013
View of the main factory complex
A closer look at of the main factory complex
The western end of the dumping area - it is still pretty much as denuded of vegetation as it was a decade earlier. So much for assurances of returning the terrain to a natural look...
Pretty colors on the terraced slopes of a ridgeline that has been ravaged.
A view over another dump area
Over the western end again looking towards Los Altos and Mountain View. The forested slope in the foreground gives some idea of what this area used to look like.
Over the western end again looking in the direction of the ocean
After over a decade, a few scraggly bushes have managed to establish themselves on an almost-bald slope. Does this pass for "restoration"?
A view inside the main pit.
Once upon a time, this was a natural hilltop covered in forest - where Native Americans, Bears and Mountain Lions lived together over the centuries...

Although bitcoin is widely-regarded as a lucrative investment vehicle, and it is easy to forget the original function of the pioneer cryptocurrency; that of being a decentralized store of value. While bitcoin's potential may not be fully realized by first world speculators, citizens of countries with weak economic systems have much to fear when their authorities decide to ban the peer-to-peer payment protocol.
The citizens of Zimbabwe were in for a grave shock on May 11, 2018, as the country's central bank placed a blanket ban on the possession, trading, and transfer of bitcoin. While the move would hardly make an impact on the cryptocurrency trading markets regarding price action, a much deeper wound is inflicted on unfortunate Zimbabweans, whose highly-inflated currency can make buying bread a trillion (Zimbabwean) dollar affair.
According to a report by NewsDay, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has also placed a mandatory shutdown in services meted by financial institutions to bitcoin businesses, stating that the institutions "must exit" any such relations in the next 60 days.
The circular further stated that the move was taken in "public interest," in order to protect and safeguard the integrity of the country's sound financial system.
To eradicate any allegations, Mataruka said that the 60-day period would be used by banks to clear any collateral arrangements, remittances, registrations, trading, and loans sought against digital currencies.
Mataruka further stated that cryptocurrencies operate on the same platform as traditional banking models, having "strong linkages and interconnectedness" to serve their trading and payment platforms, relying on the financial systems that serve the economy.
The RBZ's move also follows a recent warning against cryptocurrencies from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), which issued a circular last month on the risks associated with crypto trading, such as fraud, hacking, and loss of data.
Against the backdrop of a global financial crisis in 2009, far away from the bustling streets of Harare, an anonymous creator/s mysteriously introduced the world to a digital, cryptographic form of money; Bitcoin, a peer-to-peer payments network that operated without the need of a central authority.
Adding to the protocol's decentralized ethos was its deflationary nature, that aimed to precede over the inflationary characteristics of fiat money.
After countries like Zimbabwe, South Sudan, and Venezuela quickly adopted the use of bitcoin, whose payment method proved to be highly beneficial and surprisingly less volatile than the native fiat, corrupt regulators and authorities viewed the digital money with suspicion, presumably due to realizing that bitcoin may restore monetary power to the average person.
Zimbabwe's bitcoin ban comes across as humorous for anyone remotely following global news, as the country's citizens are victim to an extreme instance of hyperinflation since the year 2000.
Reportedly, walking around with billion dollar wads of cash in the local currency means little to locals, as the purchase of basic supplies can run into several trillions of Zimbabwean dollars. Hence, RBZ's claim of a "sound and secure" financial system is completely unsubstantiated.
In great economic irony, bitcoin's popularity in the country shot up as citizens found new avenues to store their money and savings, as the volatile fiat currency in bank accounts was no longer a significant store-of-value.
As a result of this, bitcoin traded at a massive premium in Zimbabwe, compared to the rest of the world, as the demand of the digital asset surged to unimaginable heights. The Zimbabwean premium even superseded the famous "kimchi premium" by a longshot, with the price of bitcoin reaching $30,000 on the country's crypto exchanges while the world rejoiced on the $20,000 mark.
The digital currency proved to remain out of the clutches of the local government until the ban of May 2018 and provided the citizens a respite from the economic and political turmoil. While the cryptocurrency market is still viewed with cynicism from global authorities and banks, the digital money sector for Zimbabweans is a far safer bet than most of their other options.

The UN Asks Cuba to 'Punish Those Responsible for Child Abuse' on July 11 (11J)'
The Committee urges accountability against those who used force in the detention of minors on June 11. (EFE)
14ymedio, Madrid, June 10, 2022 — The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child urges the Cuban State to review the penalties imposed on minors "declared guilty of exercising their right to freedom of peaceful assembly in the context of the July 2021 protests." This is one of the conclusions of the periodic report carried out by this body, based in Geneva, which was issued this Thursday.
In the 14-page document, the UN expresses its concern about several issues since the 11J demonstrations, which are mentioned again in the section on rights violations and torture. Although the committee considers that, in general terms, Cuba doesn't have problems of this type, "it is very concerned about the complaints received about abuse and ill-treatment during the arrests of children and adolescents that occurred as a result of the protests of 2021." For this reason, the report urges not only to investigate them, but also to "identify, prosecute and punish those responsible (…) and offer reparation" to the victims.
Freedom of association and peaceful assembly are also of concern to the UN, which considers that the rights of minor political activists and their children are severely restricted. In addition, focusing again on 11j, it highlights that some, "just 13 years old, were violently detained, stolen from their homes during the night without their families being informed of their whereabouts, held incommunicado and transferred to different facilities for lengthy interrogations after participating in the protests. Some of them, it emphasizes, continue to be deprived of their liberty, and the committee is concerned about the "criminal prosecution" of these children under the age of 18, several of whom are sentenced to between five and 15 years in prison for exercising their rights peacefully.
For all these reasons, the Government is urged to put an end to arbitrary restrictions and the criminalization of the right of assembly, in addition to taking measures to prevent the excessive use of force and allow minors to freely associate.
The Committee considers it positive that the age of criminal responsibility is 16 years and not less, as is the case in some countries, but this doesn't prevent it from recommending an end to the preventive detention of minors, reducing their sentences and establishing a better system of access to justice, which must comply with the norm. They also call for the acceleration of the juvenile penal system, so that appeals, "in particular those for surveillance and detention" linked to 11J are rapidly reviewed and completed.
Beyond the repression of protests, which are new in this period's report, the document focuses on some other issues. One of them is linked to forced separations from the family due to "international missions."
The text calls for the amendment of article 135 of the Criminal Code, in order to eliminate obstacles to family reunification, which provides for penalties of between three and eight years in prison for "the public official or employee in charge of carrying out a mission in another country who abandons it or, having completed it and required at any time to return, refuses."
In addition, and it's symptomatic, the UN is concerned about the "negative effects" on children whose mothers have been deprived of liberty and urges the Government to look for alternatives for internment of pregnant women and mothers of children.
On another matter, the Committee's concern about the nutrition problems of Cuban minors is noted. In the midst of a terrible shortage of food products of all kinds, ranging from animal proteins to dairy fats, fruits and meats, and beginning to affect even beans, traditionally used to assuage hunger, the UN warns that despite positive state policies concerning children's health, the high and growing rate of iron deficiency, as well as childhood obesity, attributed to poor nutrition and excess sugar, is beginning to be very worrying.
In the same section, maternal and child health (PAMI) programs are praised, but strengthening the prevention of prenatal deaths and "promptly addressing the shortage of medical supplies and personnel to care for children" is recommended.
In the last two years, Cuba has worsened in these indicators, which have been partially influenced by the pandemic, but also by the abandonment of programs due to lack of funding and the flight of doctors, which affects the country. Thus, and although the island maintains good rates in relation to the continent, some provinces have higher infant mortality data than other globally worse countries, such as Mexico or El Salvador. Ciego de Ávila, in particular, is the worst, with a rate of 13.8 babies deceased per thousand births in 2021, almost double the island's average, with 7.6 per thousand.

A new record catch
(Photo: James Ibrahim/Salt and Glass)
By Elizabeth Ah-Hi • 17 April 2018, 12:00AM
The Samoa International Game Fishing tournament launched off yesterday morning with anglers setting off to find the biggest catch.
But it would have been hard to beat the catch of a lifetime by Angler, Craig Townsend, who had set the tone for the tournament with his catch of a Blue marlin weighing at 279.1kgs on Sunday afternoon.
Speaking to the Samoa Observer, Mr. Townsend said that they were not expecting to catch a record-breaking fish before the official start time.
They were in the middle of a practice run on Sunday when the massive marlin was hooked.
"We were basically out in the sea on a practice run just making sure that everything was working in preparation for Monday," he said.
"Around 1.30pm we hooked up and spent about three hours fighting the fish."
In a 'man versus fish' clash, Angler Townsend won in the end to the excitement of his team and Captain Roy Lee onboard the Yellow Fin vessel.
The Angler was first introduced to the S.I.G.F.A tournament when he was the Westpac Pacific Regional Manager.
And although Westpac is no longer in Samoa, the Australian still continues to return annually for tournament.
"This was a great surprise and I'm hoping that this is a sign of a great start to the tournament here in Samoa."

When you think about round mailing shipping tubes, you might think about them used for things like shipping out posters and other similar items. You may have never thought about using them to ship out documents from your place of business, but this can actually be a good idea. Whether you work in a legal office, a medical office or anywhere else that might ship out a lot of documents, you could find that this is your best option for packaging and shipping things out to your clients. These are a few reasons why.
There is a reason why shipping tubes are such a popular choice for those who are shipping out posters and other similar items: you don't have to worry about permanently damaging such items when shipping them out. If you are shipping out documents that you would like to arrive to your clients in perfect condition, you could find that shipping tubes are a good option. Then, you can roll your documents before putting them in the tube rather than folding and creasing them before putting them in an envelope. Depending on what you are shipping out, this can be a good thing, since it can help you ensure that documents end up with their intended recipients without actually being damaged.
Another good thing about using shipping tubes is the fact that they can help you save money on shipping charges. Mailing out documents can be quite expensive, and even the heavy-duty envelopes or folders that have to be used can often be costly as well. If you compare the pricing, you could find that your company can save money by shipping things out with affordable mailing tubes instead.
Depending on the industry that you work in and what you are going to be sending out to your clients, you might want to make sure that your mailings really stand out. Mailings that come in standard envelopes might not stand out when compared to the many other mailed items that individuals might receive in their mailbox each day. Mailing tubes, however, are sure to stand out. By sending out your documents and other items in shipping tubes, you can help ensure that they get opened up without being ignored. After all, you don't have to worry as much about the items that you have mailed out being mixed in with other items that might come in the mail.
Reach out to a business like Chicago Mailing Tube Co. for more details.

HomeT20 LeaguesIndian Premier League (IPL)IPL 2022: Yuzvendra Chahal buy of the auction in terms of value, says RR CEO
IPL 2022: Yuzvendra Chahal buy of the auction in terms of value, says RR CEO
IPL 2022: Rajasthan Royals CEO Jake Lush McCrum has said that Yuzvendra Chahal was the best buy of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction in terms of value.
The Rajasthan Royals have continuously been one of India's greatest cricket franchises. The team has had an ethos of giving young Indian cricketers a platform to shine and improve as players since winning the title in the league's inaugural season in 2008. In practically every season, they've depended on a core of Indian and foreign veterans flanked by young talent. The auction for the 2022 season has concluded, and Rajasthan Royals now have a new-look team that will excite all of their fans.
"I think we are trying to change how we are perceived as a team because we've had three poor years now. Yes, they were impacted by availability and injuries, but we've had three poor years as a franchise. We want the fans to look at us and be able to say we are competing for the top-2. We are competing for the championship. And that's the mentality that has to resonate from within the franchise and around the franchise," said McCrum during a chat with Red Bull.
"We think we have done that with building this squad. We've got quality Indian players; we have four players who are consistently in the Indian national team. Our overseas players are also available throughout the season and very talented individuals. There's a good balance to the side. We want to be competing near the top of the table, and we want to win as many games as possible for our fans, and hopefully, we will be lifting the trophy at the end of the season," he added.
Talking about Rajasthan's picks in the auction, McCrum said:
"I think we secured a lot of our top priorities. We went in not with fixed individuals – we were quite flexible within the structures of what we wanted to secure. It was mostly about trying to achieve our 'what it takes to win' criteria. But we are delighted to have people like Ravi (Ravichandran) Ashwin, Yuzi (Yuzvendra) Chahal, (Devdutt) Padikkal, Riyan (Parag), Rassie (van der Dussen), Trent Boult; the list could go on and on. All of them were on our target list. And we are delighted to have secured all of them."
"I would probably say Yuzi is the buy of the auction in terms of value. So we are delighted to have his leg-spin wicket-taking capability in our side. Overall, we got almost everyone we wanted to. Yes, there were players on our list who we missed. But we had to prioritize and be flexible to get the players at a good value. So we could have the best possible squad. We are very happy with what we have achieved," he added.
Rajasthan Royals squad: Sanju Samson (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Riyan Parag, KC Cariappa, Navdeep Saini, Obed McCoy, Anunay Singh, Kuldeep Sen, Karun Nair, Dhruv Jurel, Tejas Baroka, Kuldip Yadav, Shubham Garhwal, James Neesham, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Rassie van der Dussen, Daryl Mitchell.

Baiting consumers requires a delicate approach. Farmers Insurance is implementing the latest method of teasing their consumers, using short commercials or "episodic ads" on Hulu to entice consumers and conduct a story-like campaign.
Farmers Insurance's latest ads are short, less than 30-second clips, meant to work together to produce cliffhangers and build stories in addition to grabbing consumer attention and radiating brand awareness.
Instead of repeating the same ad during commercial breaks on Hulu's streaming service, each 30-second Farmers Insurance clip tells part of a story that the next clip continues.
Farmers has two episodic stories running, "Parking Splat," featured above, and "Fly-By Ballooning," each of which includes three less than 30-second segments.
Many brands are working with over-the-top (OTT) TV platforms, like Hulu and Netflix, as U.S. consumers shy away from primetime television for streaming services. The majority of American households were expected to be reachable through these streaming platforms in 2018, and ad spending on OTT TV was projected to increase by 40% to $2 billion last year.
But despite primetime TV viewership dropping, TV ad prices are still high. As consumers shift away from network television, marketers do, too, going where the return on investment is higher and the price is lower.
When advertisers purchase all the ad space within a TV show's episode, consumers are often faced with the same advertisement in every commercial break, resulting in ad fatigue. Episodic ads offer a solution to this growing ad fatigue by interesting consumers with a storyline.
Hulu is incorporating new ad formats, like their "pause ad," which launched this year, to attract marketers like Farmers Insurance. The streaming service is aiming for advertisements that aren't repetitive, don't push consumers away and allow for a natural break that leverages storytelling.
Hulu expects more than half of ad revenue to come from these "non-disruptive" advertisements over the course of the next three years.
OTT TV advertisements help brands to reach American consumers as they hand in their cable boxes and opt for subscription streaming services.

County and municipal governments are working with the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP) to transition from a 6-year to a 10-year comprehensive planning and zoning cycle. HB 409 and SB 671 of 2013 moved to a 10-year cycle, and, to the extent practicable, makes the cycle coincide with the release of data from the United States decennial census. The legislation also required a "check-up" at the 5-year point of a comprehensive plan's adoption and was amended to clarify that a local government that adopted a growth tier under the Sustainable Growth and Agricultural Preservation Act of 2012 must integrate the tiers into its comprehensive plan when the plan would be next reviewed under the jurisdiction's current 6-year cycle. As the bills were part of MACo's 2013 Legislative Initiative package, MACo supported the bills.
This legislation affects every jurisdiction. We request your review and comment on the draft Comprehensive Plan 10-Year Review Cycle Checklist prior to October 15, 2015. Once our report is finalized, it will be posted on the MDP 10-Year Review Cycle website, on or before December 1, 2015 ….
If your jurisdiction has any questions, comments, or concerns, please have your staff contact David Dahlstrom, Regional Planner, at 410-819-4084 or david.dahlstrom@maryland.gov.
County and municipal planners are holding a joint meeting on October 9 at the Maryland Municipal League to discuss and hopefully finalize transition details with MDP officials. MDP will also be discussing the transition at its Fall 2015 Maryland Planning Directors Roundtable on September 22.

At a mighty 32 acres, Barcelona's zoo is a real mammoth – or African elephant if we're being specific. Just as well, because it houses a veritable Noah's Ark of creatures, with around 2,000 animals from over 300 species.
From giraffes to gorillas to goldfish, it's got every 'g' animal you could dream of... and more! You can see the world's largest lizards in the Komodo dragon enclosure, admire flocks of parrots and tropical birds in the aviary, or see pigs, ponies, and even a rare Catalan donkey in the child-friendly farmyard.
Of course, you'll also learn all about the animal behavior and habitats, and see the zoo's ongoing conservation efforts and breeding programs in action. It's a fantastically fun day out for kids and adults, and the perfect escape from the bustle of Barcelona.

It was good overall The zoo is so big, that we had to give up on some parts of it because we got really tired, and our son got tired of walking there as well.
I would recommend adding some kind of vehicles to navigate inside the park, or some kind of cart for kids of different ages that parents can use to make it easier for them to walk easily with their kids.

The girls think he's the absolute end-- that fink's got all my chicks tuned into his frequency! Who am I talking about? A great comic book character, forgotten by everyone except the bloggers. The concept is so great, that I would pay to write a revamp. How does this tie in to yesterday's entry? You'll just have to read to the end, gang. It's totally smasho-wacko!
Swing with Scooter was a title that started off brilliant and ended as just another Archie clone. Bear with me, and I will take you through this epic and sordid journey.
Developed by Barbara Friedlander, Jack Miller, and the esteemed Joe Orlando, Scooter started off as a mod amalgam of Paul McCartney and Archie Andrews, as DC tried to succeed once again in the realm of "teen humor" magazines. British bands like, y'know, the Beatles were hugely popular at the time, so they went with the idea of a famous British rock star, Scooter, named after his means of conveyance, quitting his band and settling down in some American town populated by other kooky teenagers.
The biggest standout of Scooter's supporting cast was Malibu, who always wore a white trenchcoat and exhibited quite a few characteristics of vampirism, including ever-more-pointy ears and fangs. In fact, the early issues of Scooter contained many supernatural elements, including haunted houses, ghosts, monsters, mad scientists, polka-dotted Martians, and even the green, hulking Zekefreak!
Over time, however, Scooter became more "Archified" in every way. The logo got rounder, the art became cartoonier and more like the Archie house style, and the stories became... more plain. Oh, sure, a haunted house would pop up now and then... weirdly enough, it's like their town was the haunted house capital of the world. Hmm.
This is where our friend from yesterday, Super-Hip, comes in. Where else would Benedict Arnold High, the school with the Universal monsters for faculty be, but in the haunted house capital of the world, where there's a kid who's basically a daywalking vampire? And hey, Scooter and Super-Hip would get along great! I say, what the hell-- combine their universes. After all, Scooter and Bob Hope did meet in a house ad once.
Scooter hasn't been seen since his title ended with #36. I think it's ripe time for a comeback. Basically, it's Archie meets the Beatles meets Scooby Doo meets Buffy meets Scott Pilgrim. Who wouldn't want to buy that? It'd be zany, weird, and fun as hell. Not like the Archie-riffic stuff. Archie has its place, yeah, but not in the Scooterverse!
Now for the dedication part of this column. I have to thank Robby Reed at Dial B for Blog for igniting my Scooter appreciation and inspiring my pitching intentions. He wrote a tremendously awesome eight-part exploration of the Scooter mythos, which starts here. Everything bizarre I've referenced can be found there, and there are loads of pages from an array of issues. If you're looking for the simpler, cleaner version, though, there's always Toonopedia.
Everyone's life is better with a little more Scooter. You groove, baby?

SAFETY upgrades on the Western Highway has continually delayed traffic over the past 18 months, but works are almost complete. Regional Roads Victoria has spent more than $28 million on improving highway, between Stawell and the South Australian-border since July 2017. Currently, surface works are either planned or in progress for eight sections of the highway. Site locations include Dadswells Bridge, Deep Lead, Gerang Gerung, Green Lake, Lillimur, Nhill, St Helens Plains and Salisbury. Regional Roads Victoria expects all works to be completed by June. Regional Roads Victoria regional director Mal Kersting said the Western Highway was one of the state's busiest freight and travel routes. "It's important that we ensure the Western Highway provides a safe, smooth journey for the thousands of people who travel it each and every day," he said. Mr Kersting said the authority had also spent $20 million on safety upgrades between Stawell and the border. "Upgrades included as part of the jointly funded $20-million package include the reconfiguration of Horsham's busy O'Callaghans Parade intersection," he said. "We installed more visible traffic signals and road upgrades at various locations through to the South Australian border to cater for the high volume of freight traffic. "There has also been a series of road rehabilitation projects." Mr Kersting said overall the safety improvements on the highway had cost $28.3 million. Other major roads in the region will also see improved surfaces before June. Work is planned or in progress for the Wimmera Highway at Apsley, Dooen, Edenhope, Gre Gre, Jung, Logan, Murtoa, St Arnaud, Rupanyup, Marnoo, Burrum, and Vectis. For the Henty Highway, surface works will fix sections of the highway at Brim, Dooen, Lah and McKenzie Creek. Surface works are also planned or in progress on the Stawell-Warracknabeal Road at Rupanyup, Mellis, Glenorchy and Deep Lead; and on the Northern Grampians Road at Green Lake. Regional Roads Victoria does not have any further upgrades scheduled for the Western Highway after June 2019.

Western Highway roadworks to upgrade surface

_The new trend for today's the younger generation and teenagers is scene makeup. Possibly the most noticeable options that come with scene makeup include the eyes. The goal of developing a great scene look is to make your eyes stay ahead of the rest of your appearance. Adding makeup in the areas such as heavy glittery lipsticks or bright lipstick will take away from the appearance of one's eyes making it seem that you dipped your face inside your makeup drawer. Concentrate as much time as possible while using eyes in order to get the best scene makeup. Strive for bright or dark colors, depending on your skin complexion, and spend almost no time on the rest of your appearance in order to get the proper scene look.
Eyeliner: It really is recommend that you use black, but that is up to you. Try to avoid using any other type of eyeliner besides liquid as it applies better generally. If you're afraid to test the liquid eyeliner, then you might be more comfortable having a pencil until you get better at it. Remember this will be the first step in applying scene makeup, attempt to get it done as perfect as you possibly can before preceding.
Eye Shadow: This is where the scene makeup look really relates to life. Add either cream or liquid eyeshadow that is brightly colored. Don't be afraid to try different colors or to mix colors. Your imagination will be your limitation on this one. Inside my personal experience, I suggest you obtain a bunch of colors, try every one, and then see what matches your needs.
Volumizing: Most people prefer black, however, you can use any color mascara you need. But, whatever you use, make absolutely certain it makes your eyelashes POP! If you fail to get your eyelashes to face out, then pay for fake eyelashes. Eyelashes is likely to make anyone stand out whether it is for the scene makeup trend or the Wall Street trend.
Inner Eyeliner: That is completely optional, however, if you want the ""cat eye" look then apply eyeliner from the inside your eyelid from inner corner to out corner. Most teenagers choose that little "wing", but once again, it depends on the taste and the look you will need to for.
EXTREME: If you're looking for that extreme scene makeup makeover this will let you style that live with others for years to come, then double high on the lashes and provide them babies two coats of mascara!
Clothes change on a daily basis and scene makeup isn't different. It is not supposed to last forever, yet it'll change more and more in the past as the fashion community advances.

Q: MongoDB get remaining seats of restaurant I've problem to find remaining seats of particular restaurant in a particular Date range
Let me define my problem. Suppose I've a collection it called booking
In this have a following fields:

*

*Booking ID

*User ID

*Restaurant ID

*Booking Start Date (date saved in Timestamp)

*Booking End Date (date saved in Timestamp)

*Booked Seat

If there are 50 seats in restaurant. And I want to check available seats of a particular date range for example the date range is 6-12(This range in timestamp)"(Start Date) - (End Date)"
How to calculate the total remaining seats of restaurant.
If anyone have any idea please let me know.
Thanks in advance
Code is here
const where = {};
where.restaurant_id = 126;
where.user_id = 1;
where.start_date = { $gte: 6 };
where.end_date = { $gte: 12 };
const remainingSeats = getSeatsAvailability(where);

function getSeatsAvailability(where) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    bookingModel.find(where, (err, details) => {
      if (err) { reject(err); } else { resolve(details); }
    });
  });
}

A: So, What I have Visualized is the below diagram, so there are basically four cases to be covered:
            x            y
a-----------|---------b  |
          a-|------------|---b
            |  a-------b |
            |      a-----|--------b

So the formulae are:
1. a<x, a<y | b>x, b<y
2. a<x, a<y | b>x, b>y
3. a>x, a<y | b>x, b>y
4. a>x, a<y | b<y, b>x

I am pasting an ROUGH example, take it as a hint to solve the problem at hand:
db.collection.aggregate([
  {
    $match: {
      $or: [
        {
          a: {
            $lte: 3,
            $lte: 9
          },
          $or: [
            {
              b: {
                $gte: 3,
                $lte: 9
              }
            },
            {
              b: {
                $gte: 3,
                $gte: 9
              }
            }
          ]
        },
        {
          a: {
            $gte: 3,
            $lte: 9
          },
          $or: [
            {
              b: {
                $gte: 3,
                $gte: 9
              }
            },
            {
              b: {
                $gte: 3,
                $lte: 9
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      r: 1
    }
  },
  {
    $group: {
      _id: null,
      sum_booked: {
        $sum: "$c"
      }
    }
  },
  {
    $project: {
      seats_left: {
        $subtract: [
          50,
          "$sum_booked"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
])

The example dataset that I have tested on:
[
  {
    a: 1,
    b: 10,
    c: 10,
    r: 1,

  },
  {
    a: 2,
    b: 5,
    c: 15,
    r: 1
  },
  {
    a: 5,
    b: 10,
    c: 10,
    r: 1
  },
  {
    a: 7,
    b: 15,
    c: 15,
    r: 12 <<<<========/////DIFF REST ID
  }
]

Output:
[
  {
    "_id": null,
    "seats_left": 15
  }
]

A: db.booking.aggregate([{
        $match: {
            BookingStartDate: { $lte: date_range_end },
            BookingEndDate: { $gte: date_range_start },

    },
    {
        $group: {
            _id: '$RestaurantID',
            TotalBookedSeat: { $sum: '$BookedSeat' }
        }
    },
    {
        $project: {
            LeftSeat: { $subtract: [50, '$TotalBookedSeat'] },
            _id: 0
        }
    }
])

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d8479f6902a52448029a6d0"), "bid" : 1, "uid" : 1, "rid" : 126, "bsd" : 1, "bed" : 10, "bs" : 10 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d847a11902a52448029a6d1"), "bid" : 2, "uid" : 1, "rid" : 126, "bsd" : 2, "bed" : 5, "bs" : 15 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d847a24902a52448029a6d2"), "bid" : 3, "uid" : 1, "rid" : 126, "bsd" : 5, "bed" : 10, "bs" : 10 }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5d847a34902a52448029a6d3"), "bid" : 4, "uid" : 1, "rid" : 126, "bsd" : 7, "bed" : 15, "bs" : 15 }

db.booking.aggregate([{ $match: { bsd: { $lte: 12 }, bed: { $gte: 6 }, rid: 126 } }, { $group: { _id: '$rid', total_seat_sold: { $sum: '$bs' } } }])

The result of the above is 35, then 15 seats left.

This time it will works I think.

Snapshot – Do you intend to buy a new car in India, in the next three months? We have news for you. The next 12 weeks are likely to see no less than 8 cars getting launched in India's mass market segments. We've put together a list that will give you a brief idea on what to expect from each of these cars. So jump right in to know what's coming up.
On the 19th of May, Tata Motor will launch the Nano GenX in India. Essentially, the day of launch will be when the prices of the car will be revealed. The Nano GenX is a facelifted version of the world's least priced car. From revamped exteriors and interiors, Tata Motors has also added features. The most prominent among the additional features on the car are the automated manual transmission and the openable hatch lid. Our sources indicate that the Nano AMT would be priced at about 3.28 lakh rupees, ex-showroom Mumbai, making for a 3.5-3.6 lakh rupee on-road price tag. All set to be the least priced automatic car in the country, the Nano GenX AMT represents stonking value.
A speculative render of the Renault Kayou budget hatchback.
On the 20th of May, the big man at Renault-Nissan, Carlos Ghosn, will fly into India to unveil the Renault Kayou hatchback. The car will feature a tall-boy design with rumours even suggesting a crossover-like design, replete with high ground clearance and a high seating position. Based on the CMF-A platform, the car will be the French automaker's lowest priced offering, and will use an 800cc, triple cylinder petrol motor for propulsion. An AMT option is also likely to a part of the variant mix on the Kayou, which will be launched later this year. The event on the 20th May is more of a global preview of the car, which will also be sold internationally. The official launch with price announcement will happen in the second half of 2015.
The Safari Storme Facelift has already reached Tata Motors' showrooms around India, and bookings for the 7 seat SUV are already on. In terms of design on the outside, things remain largely similar. A honeycomb grille and a revised bumper are the only significant exterior changes. On the inside, the stereo now gets integrated into the center console, which sees a redesign. The steering wheel is new, and gains audio controls. The clutch is another item that Tata motors has worked on. Under the hood, the 2.2 liter Varicor turbo diesel motor gets a mild power bump up to 148 Bhp, while torque remains unchanged at 320 Nm. A 5 speed manual transmission with an optional four wheel drive system will continue to be offered on the Storme.
The facelifted Mahindra XUV500 crossover will soon follow the refreshed Storme. Mahindra's flagship crossover will get more than just a mild makeover. Up front, the headlamps, grille and bumper are new affairs. On the inside, the dashboard has been revised with new features added. In terms of mechanical changes, few improvements are likely. The 2.2 liter mHawk turbo diesel motor with 140 Bhp and 330 Nm on tap is expected to continue unchanged, along with the 6 speed manual transmission. In the coming months, an automatic variant of the XUV500 is likely to be launched. The diesel hybrid variant of the XUV500, which was shown at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo, is another variant India could do well with.
The country's most fuel efficient turbo diesel car is weeks away from making its official debut. The Maruti Suzuki Celerio Diesel represents many firsts. It is the smallest diesel motor that has been produced by the automaker, and is also the most fuel efficient. It is the country's first twin cylinder diesel motor to power a passenger car. On the whole, the Celerio Diesel promises to add a new dimension to the Indian car market, by offering stunning fuel efficiency at a price that is likely to peg the car as the least priced diesel hatchback in the country. The Celerio Diesel will feature a 792cc turbo diesel motor, said to be good for about 48 Bhp and 125 Nm.
In July, Honda will bring back the Jazz hatchback to India. The car, in its third generation globally, will make its India comeback with a diesel motor in tow. The diesel motor will be the all-aluminium 1.5 liter unit that makes 98.6 Bhp and 200 Nm. This engine, along with a high amount of localization is expected to see the B+ segmnt premium hatchback being competitively priced. The Jazz will also be sold with a 1.2 liter i-VTEC petrol mill (87 Bhp-109 Nm), which will get 5 speed manual and CVT automatic transmission options. The diesel motor will have to make do with a 5 speed manual gearbox.
Media drives of the Hyundai iX25 are expected to happen by the end of June. The compact SUV is expected to make its debut a month later, in July. A hotly anticipated offering from Hyundai, the iX25 will be sold with multiple engine options. A diesel-automatic variant could also be in the mix, making the iX25 a unique offering in its segment. Premium interiors and features are likely on the compact SUV as Hyundai is known for packing its cars with plenty of equipment. The SUV will use a monocoque design and will seat five adults. A front wheel drive layout will be standard fare, and it remains to be seen if a four wheel drive system would be served up as an option. The iX25 is longer than 4 meters and will take on the likes of the Renault Duster and the Nissan Terrano.
The Ford Classic sedan will soon be replaced by a sub-4 meter car, the Figo Aspire. The first Ford sub-4 meter compact sedan in the world, the Figo Aspire is currently being produced at the American automaker's spanking new Sanand maufacturing facility in Gujarat. The Figo Aspire compact sedan will precede its hatchback sibling. The car will be offered with 1.2 liter Ti-VCT petrol and 1.5 liter turbo diesel motors. It remains to be seen whether the larger 1.5 liter Ti-VCT petrol motor would be offered on the top-end variant. In terms of equipment, the Figo Aspire promises to be class leading, with top-end variant to feature a twin clutch automatic transmission and 6 airbags.

Dreamscene (animated/video wallpapers) patch for Windows Vista Home Premium and Business edition!
Download NonUltimateDreamScene.zip and unpack the archive content to a folder.
Right click on InstallDreamScene.bat and select "Run as Administrator" to install Windows DreamScene on your non-Ultimate version of Vista. Answer "Y" to continue. You can also open elevated command prompt with administrator rights and type InstallDreamScene.bat to execute the batch script. Restart your computer.
If you don't know how to get permission of systrem files in Vista, then using TakeControl can make the process easy. Read the Steps.
You can take help from this Video Tutorial on DreamScene Patch.
After installing this patch, Click Here for some HD videos for DreamScene.
If you are still having problem in installing the patch then please read the comments for the help.
Update: Razorblade has released the final DreamScene version for non-Ultimate, English language, and working for both 32 and 64 bits. It better works having SP1 installed (because its themecpl.dll supports DreamScene). It's the same installation method (a batch file), but please read the Readme.txt file first.
Update 2: Razorblade has posted a separate thread for DreamScene 'patch' for non-Ultimate editions. [CLICK HERE] You can download the patch and post your queries there.
O sweet, thanks for the link.
Oh My God....It really works on My Vista Business....Rocking!!!
Lol what'd I tell you?
It really works on My Vista Business....Rocking!!!
Thanks for the confirmation. I'll give it a try.
Here are the steps to take the ownership of files...but take backup of these files for safety purposes...or just rename the files again, by removing "original" from the end of the name in case of any issues, although it should not happen.
1. At the command prompt, input takeown /f filepath (takeown /f c:\windows\system32\themecpl.dll).
4. Now input icacls filepath /grant yourusername:f (icacls c:\windows\system32\themecpl.dll /grant user:f).
You will now be able to modify or replace the file. Repeat the steps for all the files. When you are done, simply remove the permissions to keep the file secure.
still can't seen to get this working even after taking ownership.
Well...it worked for me quite easily...what problem are you facing?
Wow, this goes straight to the front page.
Could it be...? I can't believe it! YES!
Well seriously, everyone knew it was going to happen sooner or later.
Should the .dream files work with this patch?
Make sure the Aero theme is enabled, coz Dreamscene requires Aero to be enabled.
Sadly, but no, since DeskScapes requires Windows Vista to install.
Unless you have vista ultimate, the installer wont run.
Well then where can I find some really great videos?
Wow, this works great, except that it messes up taskmanager - it always shows 100% CPU, but my computer is running normally. It will also say explorer.exe is using about 55,000-90,000Kb memory, I'd say just ignore it.

The Controversial Marijuana Essay
Medical Marijuana:
America's Plant
The use of marijuana, for both medical and recreational purposes, has long been a topic of much controversy. Using marijuana is seen as morally wrong by many, however to others it is seen as a plant with major health benefits. Upon first introduction to the subject it seems unclear as to why so much controversy is caused by this plant. The answer is rooted deep in America's history and to this day effects several parts of everyday American life. Marijuana policy affects Americans economically and health-wise. However the American government must also deal with other areas influenced by marijuana such as legislation and regulation costs. Marijuana legislation is a topic the pro-marijuana side and the anti-marijuana side are constantly debating. Throughout the years thanks to propaganda and yellow journalism this debate has been further complicated by false facts and accusations. To truly understand the marijuana debate one must understand each side's reasoning as well as take a look back into history to understand how the country got to this point in the marijuana feud.
Finding exactly where marijuana became the controversial issue that it is today is not an easy task. The reason for this is that marijuana has been there since the very beginning. Marijuana plants were being cultivated in America before the Mayflower arrived. Marijuana was brought to the "New World" by settlers of one of America's first permanent settlements, Jamestown. "The Jamestown settlers brought the marijuana plant, commonly known as hemp, to North America in 1611, and throughout the colonial period, hemp fiber was an important export. Indeed, in 1762, 'Virginia awarded bounties for hemp culture and manufacture, and imposed penalties on those who did not produce it." The history of American marijuana started during the same time that American history started. The quote also discusses the first American policy for marijuana which was extremely lenient and actually encouraged the production and distribution of marijuana. This is quite different to today's policies, almost the exact opposite. During colonial times penalties for those who did not produce marijuana could be enforced. Today, in most states, those who would like to cultivate marijuana are often the ones facing fines and heavy government regulation. One is left wondering how the policy for medical marijuana could switch so dramatically that it goes from being a vital part of American agriculture to the cultivation of it being for the most part outlawed throughout the country.
Marijuana an important part of the American economy and an established medicine quickly became America's most wanted illicit drug and banning it became popular among states. Massachusetts became the first of these states to place a ban on marijuana, "Bolstered by Progressive Era faith in big government, the 1910s marked a high tide of prohibitionist sentiment in America. In 1914 and 1916,...
