Mystery Circle
The school-turned-condo building we're working in has 3 floors; we're currently working on the 2nd. Today I noticed something strange in one of the former classrooms on the 2nd floor.
In the center of what was once a classroom, there are a series of holes cut into the floor, and the holes form a perfect circle, maybe 10'-12' in diameter. The holes have since been filled in with wood plugs, and nobody seems to know what the purpose of the giant circle and holes in the floor were.
Until somebody can figure this out...not knowing what those things were for is going to bother me a little bit.
Loft Construction
The delivery of the kitchen island/cart got bumped back a few days, so updates on it - and some video - will have to wait. In the meantime, I was fortunate enough this week to get to jump in with a carpentry crew working on the conversion of an old, vacant school building in south city to loft condos...36 of them. The original school building was designed by William B. Ittner, who designed a **few** things in the St. Louis area, was constructed in 1907, and covered over 60,000+ square feet at the time of its closing in 2004.
The work we're doing is relatively straightforward stuff - kitchen cabinet installation, 3-piece baseboard installation, hanging all the doors (which isn't easy, because a fair number of doors are going into the original wood jambs, and those things haven't been square, level or plumb in quite some time), repairing some of the original wood windows, and doing a laundry list of odds and ends. One of the really cool aspects of the work is getting to see the reuse of some of the original building details, and in some cases handle the installation; a number of wooden built-in cabinets are being reused and incorporated into the units as closet/shelf space, some of the original blackboards still hang on the walls in the units, the old-school cast iron and wood coat racks were cut into small sections and installed inside the front door of each unit, and most of the original hardwood floor - maple, I believe - is being refinished.
There's still a lot of work left to do, but man...what a fun project.

Kitchen Island/Cart
It's been a chaotic week, but I'm getting close to finishing the kitchen island/cart I started for a client a few days ago. The top is butcher block style, and made of maple that I got from U-Pick Hardwood, easily my favorite hardwood lumber supplier. The steel, which makes up the frame and shelves, came from Shapiro Metal Supply. I got casters from Consolidated Truck & Caster, which was the only material supplier of the three I just mentioned that's anywhere close to being convenient for me to get to (and partially why this build has taken a few minutes).
At this point the steel is 95% welded and the butcher block top is glued up in 2 separate pieces. Tomorrow's work will include finishing the welding, putting the top together, and fabricating some way to attach the casters. And getting everything cleaned up. And painted. And assembled. And delivered. It's been a fun build - welding anything always is - but man...what I wouldn't give for a chop saw. Cutting steel with a grinder, exclusively, is for the birds.
Reclaimed Wood Trestle Dining Table Build Video, Part 4
Well, it's a little anticlimactic, but it's done. I stopped filming anything during the last hour or two of the project build because I flat out didn't have time - literally zero minutes to spare - to deal with that stuff, and I was pretty flustered as it was due to the dulling of every chisel, plane and saw I used throughout the project. Work with enough reclaimed lumber and the dirt, nails, etc. take their toll. I needed my tools sharp, and they weren't...and I needed sleep, but there was no time...and working on the last piece of the puzzle - the stretcher - was NOT fun due to the things I just mentioned.
But the video of the build, all 4 parts, is finally done. There's a project taking place right now - a maple & steel rolling kitchen island/cart that is pretty much the polar opposite of the table build in terms of design and materials - that I'm filming as I build, so maybe the next video or two will show some improvement. Hopefully, anyhow.
If you've been checking out the videos, thanks for watching. Having put together a few at this point, I have a whole new respect for the people who make a living as YouTube content generators. You wouldn't think it - I didn't, at least - putting together a 6 or 7 minute video every couple days would be all that arduous of a process...but it definitely can be, especially for a rookie like me. But they're kinda fun to do, so that makes up for the time required to assemble these things.
Anyways...thanks again for watching, and keep your eyes peeled for the next one!
Reclaimed Wood Trestle Table
Steel Yard
For all the sawdust I've made in my life, I still get pretty mesmerized by the big tools at the steel yard that make big sparks. An upcoming project requires some steel angle and steel plate, so I ventured up to Shapiro Metal Supply today to pick up the materials...and watch the sparks fly.
Reclaimed Wood Trestle Table Build Video, Part 3
Part 3 of 4 is wrapped up. Figured I'd stop with all the editing and reediting and reediting; the narration on this stuff has been the hardest part for me, but this video was kind of a 1-take job, on purpose, mistakes and all. Its kind of like a throwing a baseball...if ya aim the thing, and get real hung up on thinking about what you're doing, odds are good that the end result is going to be bad. But if ya just rear back and throw it, and simply trust that your mechanics are sound, more times than not you'll be OK. I HATED the narration - it sounded forced, and rehearsed and not at all "real" - on the first few videos, so on this one...I just chucked that baseball as hard as I could and hoped for the best.
Enough about video narration. Here's the 3rd video covering the trestle table build, and the 1st one - of 2 - where I get after the table top. The table top was simple, but involved a LOT of steps - edge jointing, glue up, split repair, trestle frame pockets, breadboard ends, flattening - and in hindsight, required way more time to build than I thought it would.
Reclaimed Wood Trestle Table Build Video, Part 2
Man...these things take a silly amount of time to put together. And I'm still struggling with knowing when the call things "good" and get the video uploaded to YouTube, and when to keep editing. Not having a decent microphone sucks even worse - I think - than not having a real camera, so maybe that'll be the first upgrade to the setup when the time comes.
Until then...I'll keep plugging away. It's really tough to chop 20+ hours of work down to a 10-minute video, and it's a bit of a challenge to put the videos together for an audience that did NOT build whatever the video features (because I DID build the thing), but as long as each one is a littler better than the one before...and I'm not sure I pulled that off between videos 2 and 1...than I'm in good shape.
Anyhow...here's the second video in the series, the fabrication of the trestle frames. I'll try to get the next one put together a little quicker...
After a silly amount of editing and editing again and editing again...I'm sorta happy with what I came up with for the first installment of the trestle table build video series. There's not a lot of actual build footage included in this first video, but I do spend the first couple minutes introducing myself and the project, and that only took about 43 takes to get something that wasn't entirely horrible. As it turns out...staring at a camera and talking to it, without taking any big pauses or tripping over some words or saying something obnoxious or just feeling a little weird in general...it's not as easy as I thought it would be.
Anyways...here's the video. The next part, where I actually start building stuff, should be up sometime soon.

Court victory for Liverpool in sponsorship deal dispute
The football club was taken to court over its alleged refusal to honour the terms of a reported £40m-a-year deal with US sportswear giant New Balance.
Liverpool FC have won a High Court battle in a sponsorship row with US firm New Balance (Peter Byrne/PA)
By Sam Tobin, PA
Liverpool FC have won a High Court battle over a multimillion-pound sponsorship deal with American sportswear giant New Balance.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/court-victory-for-liverpool-in-sponsorship-deal-dispute-38630307.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/bb72f/38630306.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/bpanews_c8847144-a237-4cb9-9916-ed56e039a9e3_1
The club was taken to court over its alleged refusal to honour the terms of its reported £40 million-a-year deal with the company, which expires in May 2020.
Under the terms of the deal, New Balance is entitled to renew its sponsorship if it matches the terms of any competitor's offer to sponsor Liverpool kit.
But the current European champions, who have been offered a £30 million-a-year five-year deal by Nike, argued that New Balance cannot match Nike's offer in relation to the marketing and distribution of Liverpool products.
The New Balance offer on marketing was less favourable to Liverpool FC than the Nike offer ... It must follow that Liverpool FC is not obliged to enter into a new agreement with New Balance Mr Justice Teare
Giving his ruling in London on Friday, Mr Justice Teare ruled in Liverpool's favour, finding that "the New Balance offer on marketing was less favourable to Liverpool FC than the Nike offer".
The judge said Nike's offer to use "global superstar athletes", such as tennis player Serena Williams and basketball star Lebron James, to promote Liverpool products could not be matched by New Balance.
"It must follow that Liverpool FC is not obliged to enter into a new agreement with New Balance," Mr Justice Teare said.
New Balance immediately applied for permission to appeal against the judge's ruling.
Opening New Balance's case last week, Daniel Oudkerk QC said the key issue was whether New Balance had matched "the material, measurable and matchable terms of a third-party offer".
Liverpool argued that New Balance has not matched Nike's offer, which includes a commitment to sell licensed products in "not less than 6,000 stores worldwide, 500 of which shall be Nike-owned".
But Mr Oudkerk said New Balance has "approximately 40,000-odd retail doors globally".
In his written case, Mr Oudkerk argued that Liverpool dismissed New Balance's offer to match terms as the club was "wedded to Nike", and that "it appears that the club had resolved to reject the New Balance match come what may".
Guy Morpuss QC, representing the club, argued that the claim was "really an attempt by New Balance to use a matching clause for a purpose for which it was never intended".
He said New Balance's contention that it could distribute Liverpool kit to 40,000 stores was "a myth", adding that the company had "grossly overstated" the number of stores it could distribute to.
"The idea that New Balance would even get football kit into anything close to those 40,000 stores is utterly fanciful," Mr Morpuss added.

COVID-19 Has Raised the Alarm Bells
By ReedPosted on August 12, 2020 August 12, 2020
It's no secret that the American politic has failed younger generations especially when it comes to educating them of the importance of health and wellness. Health and wellness are surely broad categories, according to Helen Lee Schifter. But that is not an excuse for the absolute and utter neglect that has been demonstrated toward the subjects and their respective importance in recent years.
Little has been done on the public policy front or even from a media relations standpoint to raise awareness of the importance of these issues, among younger people. Frankly, little has been done to raise awareness and enlighten the broader and general public of the importance of these issues. Young people aside, there needs to be a reawakening. And it's incumbent upon figures in the media to act. Media professionals like Ken Kurson recognize that there needs to be a voice on these important matters.
But who would that voice be? There have been those that have indeed encouraged for there to be an influencer campaign of sorts that would seek to reach those consuming digital and social media about these important issues. There's little doubt that a properly coordinated and strategic media campaign of that sort, would be effective. Health experts like Helen Lee Schifter have therefore taken a liking to the idea, and even written about it in various sources.
But there needs to be a substantial investment made into any such prospective campaign in order to ensure that those that are a part of it have the resources they need to see it from start to finish. There should be no equivocation and no lingering doubts about the ways in which influencers conduct such a campaign in order to maximize the opportunity and reach the broadest and most sizable audience possible. Only then will such a prospective campaign have the desired impact. The more influencers, the merrier. But they should also be culled in a strategic manner, according to their popularity and also the demographics that they will be reaching.
Shalom Lamm has said repeatedly that there is a need for such a campaign and a need for a movement of goodness that seeks to spread generosity of spirit and kindness. Especially during these difficult and challenging times surrounding the Coronavirus health pandemic, this need is evident and on everyone's minds. And of course, it's on people's minds for good reason.
Let's act accordingly. To do so is in the interest of the American people – from the youngest of generations to the oldest. To not do so, is neglecting the health of our fellow citizens. Some might even say it amounts to a gross dereliction of duty.

}

here I've updated root (to point to root not to file) and updated fastcgi_pass (to point to absolute dir /var not to relative one).

A: 1) The root should be root /var/lib/customdir/customfiles (without file index.php).
2) Check cgi.fix_pathinfo value in /etc/php7.0/fpm/php.ini (or /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini)?  It needs to be set to 0.
3) Modify your location ~ \.php$ directive as:
location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock; #you have a missing / before var
    fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; #add this line
}

Test the configuration with:
sudo nginx -t

to see if there is any error before you reload the nginx configuration.

Home Creativity Have You Made a Huge Mess Lately?
Have You Made a Huge Mess Lately?
At middle school tonight, Pastor Michael, our middle school pastor made a HUGE MESS at church!
In case you are wondering… those are feathers!
Hundreds… no. Make that, thousands of feathers!
HOW did these feathers get everywhere, you ask?
As you heard in the video, the lesson was on Gossip, and Pastor Michael told an old story about a student of a rabbi who was confronted about gossiping about the teacher and he broke open a pillow and asked the student to collect all the feathers. When the student said the request was impossible, the teacher replied that is what gossip is like. You can apologize and be forgiven, but the consequences still blow around and can't be recovered.
That "spreading of the gossip" was certainly true with the feathers as they spread all over the church building!
The kids tracked the mess all the way out to the lobby! LOL Oh, the stories I could add of lessons I've done that made huge messes, but I'll save those for another time.
What a GREAT WAY to make lesson's memorable for kids! These students will long remember that when you gossip, you make a mess of things, and you can't easily get back the words you carelessly tossed about!
Even if it IS a BIG JOB to clean up after the lesson.
How Are YOU Appreciating Your Pastor?
Wow! What a great illustration. Very fun lesson!
This past Wednesday we had Pastor Popcorn Night in Awana, where our senor pastor teaches each council time and the kids eat popcorn. This is a fun night where our pastor can connect with kids, but there is a fair bit of clean up afterwards.
Wow, what a great object lesson! Thanks for the great pictures too, looks like it was quite an effective illustration!

Sutton & Sons' Pop-up Fish & Chip Shop at Boxpark
To celebrate National Chip Week, Sutton & Sons of Stoke Newington is opening at Boxpark in Shoreditch for 6 months or so. Expect great fish with their special batter, and chunky cut chips, served on-Sat until 10pm and Sunday until 9pm.
"Sutton & Sons, the finest fish and chip offering from Stoke Newington, has cast its line east to Shoreditch and reeled in a new plaice at Box Park, opening Monday 16th February.
After waiting with baited breath for the fish fryer to be installed, the second site is ready to serve traditional top-notch deep-fried fish, coated with their own special batter and hand-cut chunky chips - opening just in time for National Chip Week (16-22nd February).
Shoreditch workers and residents alike will now have the oppor-tuna-ty for just a few squid to catch a great fish and chip lunch or dinner. Signature serves include the classic fish & chips, scampi, fish cakes and sausages.

Previously we have been based in the heart of Stoke Newington so we are excited to start spreading our food offering to a new audience in the capital."

This weekend the Vestry will be having a retreat. The purpose of this time together is to prayerfully discern where we would like Church of the Advent to be in 5 years with all of our ministries and finances. We will also be discerning how we want to accomplish these goals.
This is a wonderful opportunity! We are so fortunate that Advent is now in a place where we can make solid plans for our future as a Parish. The most important part of this process, however, is that we will be in prayerful discernment.
What is prayerful discernment? The official definition of discernment according to the Merriam Webster online dictionary is "the ability to see and understand people, things, or situations clearly and intelligently". Prayerful discernment, however means that we must figure out what God is calling us to do- in this case for the betterment of His Church.
This is a much more difficult process, since there are so many factors that compete for our attention each day. Which ones are we supposed to tend to? We as a Vestry must take this time to sort out what God calls us as a Vestry, and each of us as individuals, to do. We must talk, analyze, and sort through all of the 'stuff' that makes up the daily life of the Church. We must have our Clergy there to lead us in prayer and guide us spiritually. However, at the end of the day, the most important part of this process of prayerful discernment is not going to be the 5 year goals we communicate to you. It is going to be the relationships we forge through working together in this process. It is only through these relationships and the willingness to put work into them that the goals for our Church will be realized.
We are a community, a Parish Family, and we all need each other. We thank you for the opportunity, through your voting for each of us, to make Advent what God wants it to be.

Q: Oracle SQL view data from temporary table I have a temporary table in Oracle 10g with "ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS ;"
How can I view data from this table?

A: If you specify ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS ,
the data will stay until the end of your session. If the table was created with "on commit preserve rows" then data will remain until the end of the current session. If it was created with "on commit delete rows" then it will remain until the next commit or rollback.


Starring Antonio Banderas, Vladimir Kulich, Dennis Storhøi, Daniel Southern, Neil Maffin and John DeSantis, "The 13th Warrior" (also known as "Eaters of the Dead", "13. Krieger, Der", "Thirteenth Warrior, The") is an Action/Adventure/Fantasy film directed by Michael Crichton & John McTiernan, and written by William Wisher Jr. (screenplay), released on August 27 of 1999 in the USA.

Home Live TV Bengali Live TV Channels Cricket World Cup 2019 Live Streaming
The 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup is the 12th edition of the Cricket World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by England and Wales,[1][2] from 30 May to 14 July 2019.[3]
The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England and Wales withdrew from the bidding to host the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, which was held in Australia and New Zealand. The first match will be played at The Oval while the final will be played at Lord's. It is the fifth time that the Cricket World Cup will be held in England and Wales, following the 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World Cups.
The format for the tournament will be a single group of 10 teams, with each team playing the other nine once, and the top four at the end of the group phase progressing to the semi-finals. The 10-team tournament has gained criticism due to the lack of Associate teams in the tournament. Given the increase of the Test-playing nations from 10 to 12, with the admission of Ireland and Afghanistan in June 2017, it will be the first World Cup to be contested without all of the Test playing nations being present,[4] and after the elimination of all the Associate teams at the qualifying tournament, this will also be the first World Cup to feature no Associate members.
Following the 2019 Pulwama attack, several former Indian players and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) called for the boycott of the group match fixture between India and Pakistan, wanting to ban the Pakistan team from playing in the tournament.[5][6][7] However, after conducting a press meet in Dubai, the International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected the BCCI's statement regarding banning Pakistan from the World Cup and assured that the scheduled match will go ahead as planned despite the ongoing standoff between the two nations.

Blog: Earthquakes and Exports: My Trade Mission to Saudi Arabia & Iran - Hoofdinhoud
Met dank overgenomen van Ph. (Phil) Hogan, gepubliceerd op vrijdag 17 november 2017.
I was honoured to be the first European Agriculture Commissioner to visit either Saudi Arabia or Iran, and it was a fascinating trip, taking place at a very interesting time in the region.
Being in Iran in the middle of an earthquake was a harrowing experience. The tragic loss of life and general destruction was shocking. However, I was very impressed with the calm and professional attitude of our Irani counterparts. I expressed the sympathy of the EU to the people of Iran on the loss of life, which was greatly appreciated by the authorities.
Meanwhile, during our meetings in Saudi Arabia, a different type of earthquake was taking place - this time a political one, as the Crown Prince took steps to consolidate his power. So this was an eventful trade mission to say the very least!
From a political and business point of view, however, these missions were excellent. These are two countries with rapidly growing populations of young, middle-class consumers.
Our delegation, of over 40 European agri-food companies, met with high-level political and business contacts in both countries. There was a clear desire to increase trade and investment opportunities. The type of EU products which should prove very attractive to these markets include poultry and beef meat, dairy, fresh & frozen fruits and vegetables, olive oil, bakery, confectionery and chocolate products, cereals for human use, as well as fodder and cereals for animal use.
Food security is a critical issue in Saudi Arabia, a country in which 80 per cent of the food consumed has to be imported. EU agri-food exports to Saudi Arabia increased from €1.5 to €4.6 billion between 2009 and 2016 - a very positive trend which I am confident we can build on.
In Iran, I also had a number of high-level political meetings which led to significant progress in a number of areas, including the very welcome decision by Iranian authorities to make it easier to export EU beef and sheep meat, by adopting a single health certification system for exports from all EU Member States. I expect that these arrangements will be in place during the first half of 2018, reducing red tape and costs for European exporters.
The success of this mission proves yet again that by assuming the role of global leader in international trade, the EU can generate jobs and growth at home while building strong relationships abroad. It is to be hoped that this message will resonate in those areas of the developed world where the benefits of free and fair rules-based trade appear to have been forgotten.

You are the most perfect doll baby!
I had such a wonderful time getting to meet this sweet baby girl and her family this week. I loved their story and the adventures they have coming up in the near future, but the story I loved the most was the story of this baby girl's precious name. Her name is definitely not one you hear every day, and it certainly isn't associated with any of the UK's recent royal affairs. Royal was a family name, one passed through multiple generations and though generally used for the male figures in her family history, Royal Joy was blessed with the honor of rocking her grandfather's name.
I couldn't help but share so many of their precious session. I loved every minute of our time together and I digging her sweet and simple newborn session.
Enjoy these sneak peeks from our session this week!

Fake dentist charged
STAMFORD -- A Stamford man has been charged for the third time with practicing dentistry without a license after using a pair of pliers to extract a woman's tooth.
Lucio Andrade, 37, pleaded innocent in Stamford Superior Court. He is free on $100,000 bond.
Andrade was arrested Thursday at his home, where police say he practiced dentistry in the basement.
He is on probation for a previous offense.
A police detective staked out Andrade's house on April 8 and saw a woman and her son enter the home and leave about an hour later, court papers said.
The detective stopped the woman and she told the officer that she had gone to see Andrade because she had a toothache, the warrant said.
The 45-year-old woman said she was met at the door by a casually dressed Andrade, whom she referred to as "Dr. Andrade," police said. The woman's son watched television in the living room of the home while Andrade led her to the basement, according to court papers.
In the middle of the basement was a dental chair equipped with a light and a spit sink. Andrade examined the woman's tooth and told her it was infected.
Andrade injected her gums with an anesthetic, police said. The woman told police the medication took about an hour to numb her mouth.
Once her mouth was numb, Andrade used a pair of pliers to pull out the tooth, police said.
His bill was $60 in cash.
The woman told police that Andrade also replaced her two missing front teeth in 1995. She said she heard Andrade charged very little for dental work, according to the arrest affidavit.
Authorities have said Andrade at one time had as many as 1,700 patients. Most were Hispanic immigrants who could not afford the services of a dentist, police have said.
Andrade, a native of Ecuador, has studied dentistry but has never obtained a license to practice, police said.
He was charged with practicing dentistry without a license, dispensing a controlled substance and fraudulently using the title of doctor.
His lawyer, Daniel Weiner of Stamford, said yesterday that he plans to fight the charges in court.
Andrade is due back in court July 2.


The carpal tunnel is a passage in the wrist through which tendons and nerves pass from the forearm to the hand. The median nerve, which provides feeling to the thumb, index, and middle fingers, runs through the carpal tunnel.
Any inflammation or narrowing of the tunnel may cause nerve irritation, as the carpal tunnel is normally quite narrow to begin with.
There are many causes of carpal tunnel syndrome but the most common is overuse irritation to the nerve and tendons. Other factors such as arthritis and fractures near the wrist, diabetes, and pregnancy may also cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
In addition to X-rays, nerve tests may be performed to assist in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Surgery may be necessary in patients who do not improve with non-surgical care. Carpal tunnel surgery involves cutting a ligament in the wrist to relieve pressure on the nerve within the carpal tunnel. Your physician can provide you with more details concerning your recovery after surgery.

Q: Retrieve images from resource folder I have an SQL database, from the DB I will be getting name string using that I need to show the icon in List.
To do this I followed two methods, one is:
int id= context.getResources().getIdentifier(path + i.getIcon(),null, null);

I found this method is not much efficient, so I followed some other technique i.e
try {
            Class res = R.drawable.class;
            Field field = res.getField(i.getIcon());
            drawableId = field.getInt(null);
            holder.ContactImage.setImageResource(drawableId);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e("MyTag", "Failure to get drawable id.", e);
            holder.ContactImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_all_contacts_green);
        }

Here the problem is, some time the icon name what I get from DB will not be present in Drawable folder, in that time I feel my UI is sluggish if I try to scroll, I tried using both technique mentioned above but I found no use.
How to overcome this problem, when icon is missing first method throws NULL and the second one shows exception, but why does it take too much time in doing that?
how to prevent the sluggishness in my UI, any efficient techniques?

A:
To do this i followed two methods, one is

I would recommend:
context.getResources().getIdentifier(i.getIcon(), "drawable", context.getPackageName())

when icon is missing first method throws NULL and the second one shows exception

Do not ask for an icon that does not exist. Since you know, at compile time, exactly what icons do and do not exist, you are perfectly capable of not asking for icons that do not exist.

how to prevent the sluggishness in my UI

Use Traceview to find out exactly where your performance issue resides. Some will be in reflection -- whether you do it explicitly or (better) use getIdentifier(), there is still reflection going on. Ideally, you would cache the results of the getIdentifier() calls. But beyond that, Traceview will help pinpoint your difficulties.

Studies show that the Lega Dembi mine is adversely affecting residents in the region
Residents of the Shakiso region where the Lega Dembi Mines are located
Residents in the southern state of Oromia in Ethiopia have suffered from an inexplicably high frequency of debilitating diseases and illnesses. Additionally, their newborns continually suffer from a high rate of birth defects. Locals claim the cause of their plight is water and soil contamination originating from the nearby Lega Dembi gold mine.
In 2018, protests over the Lega Dembi's environmental impact erupted, leaving multiple dead. As a result, the government shut down the mine in order to conduct an investigation into the claims. However, a committee tasked with formulating a plan to reopen the mine has been created. This news has once again stimulated turmoil in the local population living near the mine.
Women in the region have experienced a startlingly high rate of miscarriages, and these afflictions have even affected the cattle. One 25-year-old, Jibo Buno of Oromia, for example, has endured five miscarriages and one stillbirth in a five-year period. Dube Udisa, a 38-year-old who used to wash in the ponds near the mine and now cannot walk as a result, said, "I didn't know it was dangerous." He also claims that there was no sign warning people of the water during that time.
According to an unreleased report of the government-authorized study, residents living near the mine have the highest rate of birth defects documented in the nation. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the dissension in the Guji region of Oromia has forced 80,000 people from their homes. It has also diminished the amount of aid reaching those in need and has severely impacted their access to nourishment. Around 40 million Ethiopians continue to endure the struggle of not having access to safe drinking water.
After suspending MIDROC Gold's license to operate the mine, the government authorized many reports as well as a study that investigated the health issues afflicting residents near the mine. It also analyzed the "socio-economic impact" of the Lega Dembi mine. Similarly, MIDROC gold had also authorized a study of its own that examined the mine's environmental problems before their mining license renewal in 2018.
The government's study accounted for roughly 3,000 households in 2018 and revealed 384 people who suffered from disabilities and chronic illnesses. Additionally, health issues plagued around 10% of the surveyed households, but the number doesn't represent miscarriages or stillbirths. Central among findings was that the area surrounding Shakiso accounts for "the highest rate of birth defects in Ethiopia."
The study also gives an account of the number of birth defects in the area and indicates that the ages of the youth affected by birth defects line up with the years that MIDROC Gold was running the Lega Dembi mine. Lastly, the investigation shows that nearly all of the participants claim that they were never alerted of the hazard in utilizing the tailings ponds near the mine. The ponds act as a repository for waste, such as cyanide and mercury, leftover from mining. The second part of the government's investigation hasn't begun, but it will involve the testing of samples from residents.
Addis Ababa University Business Enterprise PLC (AAUBE) conducted MIDROC Gold's 2018 environmental assessment. AAUBE determined that the mine poses grave environmental issues. According to AAUBE, "cyanide is present in the considerable amount[s]both in water and soil samples outside of the tailings dam in the license area." Also, the report finds that two tailings ponds were commonly used for drinking water. MIDROC Gold was unsuccessful in keeping the public from accessing the three tailings ponds. Despite the recent warning sign posted near these tailings ponds, people continually collect water from contaminated sources.
Local leaders, mining experts, and environmental scientists all agree on how to proceed in the matter. They say it is crucial to identify the origin and extent of pollution in the environment. Furthermore, communicating with the community living near the mine is essential before deciding on the reopening of the mining operation.

A pit bull puppy was stabbed more than 20 times before being tossed into the woods to die.
Police in Chesterfield County, Virginia, were called to the scene on Sunday to investigate the stabbing of a white pit bull puppy. According to WTVR, the police found the puppy in the tree line of a nearby apartment complex.
WRIC reports that a warrant for Paris L. Hill, 27, was issued for animal cruelty on September 18 in relation to the puppy stabbing. CBS 6 notes that the suspect in the case was actually on the scene when police arrived and began interviewing witnesses, but he subsequently left. Police are still looking for Hill, who resides in Petersburg.
Sadly, this isn't the first case of extreme cruelty towards a pit bull this week. Another pit bull was branded with the "F-Word" which caused serious chemical burns. The dog had to undergo plastic surgery to remove the brand.
What do you think should happen to the person responsible for stabbing the pit bull puppy over 20 times and leaving him to die in the woods?


The Book of Causes, highly influential in the medieval university, was commonly but incorrectly understood to be the completion of Aristotle's metaphysics. It was Thomas Aquinas who first judged it to have been abstracted from Proclus's Elements of Theology, presumably by an unknown Arabic author, who added to it ideas of his own.The Book of Causes is of particular interest because themes that appear in it are echoed in the metaphysics of Aquinas: its treatment of being (esse) as proceeding from the First Creating Cause; the triadic scheme of being, living, and knowing; and the general scheme of participation in which "all is in all." Thus, the Book of Causes provides a historical backdrop for understanding and appreciating Aquinas's development of these themes in his metaphysics.Thomas's Commentary on the Book of Causes, composed during the first half of 1272, is a distinct philosophical work in its own right. It provides an extended view of his approach to Neoplatonic thought and functions as a guide to his metaphysics. Though long neglected and, until now, never translated into English, it deserves an equal place alongside his commentaries on Aristotle and Boethius.In addition to the extensive annotation, bibliography, and thorough introduction, this translation is accompanied by two valuable appendices. The first provides a translation of another version of proposition 29 of the Book of Causes, which was not known to St. Thomas. The second lists citations of the Book of Causes found in the works of St. Thomas and cross-references these to a list showing the works, and the exact location within them, where the citations can be found.The late Vincent A. Guagliardo, O. P., was professor of philosophy at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley, California. Charles R. Hess, O. P., is an adjunct lecturer in ecclesiastical Latin at the Dominican School. Richard C. Taylor is associate professor of philosophy at Marquette University. His area of specialty is ancient and medieval philosophy.

5 More Guys Sanjay Manjrekar Must Criticise So That They Can Come Back In Form & Prove Him Wrong
Aditya Pandey Updated: Dec 3, 2020, 11:28 IST
After the second ODI in Sydney, Sanjay Manjrekar, in an interview with The Hindu talked about why he would never have players like Ravindra Jadeja in his team if he was the selector.
He would also throw in Hardik Pandya's name in the mix as he didn't like their "kind of cricketers" in white-ball cricket.
Essentially, Manjrekar expressed a problem with having all-rounders in the roster, especially in limited overs cricket and preferred having specialists (thoroughbred batsmen and bowlers) over them.
"My selection and thoughts are based on a principle that I have learnt over the years: if you have specialists who can walk in based on one discipline, you fill your team with those players. I do not have a problem with Jadeja; I have a problem with his kind of cricketers in white-ball cricket. Even Hardik Pandya will not be in my team. They add illusionary value to the team. Of course, I have always rated Jadeja highly in the Test format," he said in the interview with The Hindu.
Looks like both Pandya and Jadeja heard Manjrekar's comments and decided to act upon it with the middle-order duo building a 150-run partnership.
While Jadeja scored a blazing 66 in just 50 deliveries, Pandya smashed 92 in 76 to win the Man of the Match award and save their side from facing a humiliating white-wash series defeat.
So, if the final match between India and Australia proved anything, it was that former Indian cricketer and cricket analyst Sanjay Manjrekar has the unique ability to bring back players to form by criticising them.
Here are five more players we'd like Manjrekar to do the same to please:
1. Jasprit Bumrah
Even though Bumrah showed glimpses of his dominating self during the third match, he has not been as imposing as he was during India's 2019 World Cup campaign. The long break in his career due to a stress fracture in the back definitely took a toll on him.
We'd request Mr.Manjrekar to kindly say a few not-so-kind words about the pacer and give him the opportunity to prove him wrong.
2. Rishabh Pant
If today were December 03, 2018 the fans of the Indian cricket team would have been cheering for Rishabh Pant as if he was our next Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He played heroic innings, grabbed some difficult catches behind the wicket, trolled and sledged his opponents and even played a huge role in India's very first Test series win Down Under. However 2019 was not kind to the young athlete and the public quickly turned against him based on some heavy bad form and bad DRS calls.
It'd be great if Mr. Manjrekar could also attach a catchy negative phrase to Pant's name like 'bits and pieces' that might anger the Roorkee-born and motivate him to get back in form.
3. Prithvi Shaw
A good debut, a long stint away from the team due to injuries and the unluckiest 'drug-abuse' ban, and one horrible IPL season… that's pretty much Prithvi Shaw's career till now.
For someone once referred to as the childhood version of Sachin Tendulkar, that career trajectory doesn't seem promising and might be in desperate need of some non-constructive criticism by one Sanjay Manjrekar. It may very well be Shaw's last hope.
4. Yuzvendra Chahal
Although Chahal has been a great asset for any team he's played for in the recent past, be it the Men in Blue or Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore, the kind of beating he took in the ODI series against the Aussies can scar a bowler for a long time.
Let's just throw in some negativity from Manjrekar's side towards Chahal just as a safety net. We wouldn't want our best spinner to get into bad form or anything, right?
5. Virat Kohli
While Virat Kohli, the batsman did play a couple of decent innings during the ODIs, Virat Kohli, the captain has come under fire for mismanaging his bowlers, screwing up the batting order, and looking helpless in the middle when players like Steve Smith, David Warner and Aaron Finch were ripping apart his bowling attack one by one.
And even though some of the leading critics like Gautam Gambhir have already done their bit, the space feels empty without a zinger by Manjrekar. The others by other experts may fall on deaf ears but Manjrekar's criticism clearly seems to irk other players, maybe it will leave a mark on the skipper as well.

What do you need to know about the craft of woodworking? There isn't much to is other than cutting some wood and then affixing pieces together, right? Actually, there is a great deal that you can learn about woodworking. If you learn more, you'll find that it's actually a really enjoyable activity.
Make sanding blocks that are reusable. Cut 6 blocks from scrap wood in the size of the sandpaper you use. Be certain the pieces are about two and a half inches by four and three quarter inches. You can secure the sandpaper better with an adhesive. Stick a block on your cork, then make certain you cut the cork flush with a utility knife. Then, spray your sandpaper with adhesive and apply it to the cork. Lastly, put the sandpaper flush to the cork, labeling all blocks.
Know the different characteristics of the woods that you're using in your projects Each type of wood has different traits. Different types of wood will react differently to various stains. Different cuts will splinter differently. You will also encounter a lot of different grains. All of these characteristics will become features in your project.
A golf tee provides a quick and easy fix for loose interior door hinges. Take the door off and remove the hinges, then lightly tap the golf tee into the screw holes. Then, cut the golf tee's excess off and reinstall the door. This technique fills in the missing wood and helps hold the screw tight.
Increase the strength of your grip. You may sometimes want to use spring clamps, but this can restrict the freedom of your hands. This isn't a simple task! However, you can make things easier on yourself. Before you start gluing things together you should get all the clamps placed you need on just random scraps of wood while you're using your free hands. This makes them near the maximum capacity so they're easier to use with one hand.

Beer is enjoyable on a hot weekend. However, drinking and woodworking is a bad combination. Don't work on a woodworking project while you're drunk. This is also true for illegal and prescription drugs.
Do not forget to stay connected to others. Where you work is your own space and not likely to have internet. Still you may get stumped from time to time on various projects. Look for other woodworkers and ask them questions. You will probably never have a problem somebody else hasn't already had.
Do you now appreciate all there is to woodworking? If you do, it is time to let it start benefiting you life. From a great pastime to a way to make real money, there is no limit in terms of the tremendous potential of woodworking.

Miniland revealed at new Dutch LEGOLAND Discovery Centre
12/12/2020 13/12/2020 Adam Basch 0 Comments LEGO, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre, Miniland, Netherlands, The Hague
The Netherlands' first LEGOLAND Discovery Centre has unveiled its stunning new Miniland recreation of the Hague.
Minilands are a highlight of every LEGOLAND theme park and Discovery Centre, and this latest addition looks set to be no exception. The Hague cityscape is recreated in astonishing detail with over 1.5 million LEGO bricks.
The 30 models cover local landmarks such as the Peace Palace, Hague Tower and the Huis ten Bosch, home of King Willem-Alexander and the Royal Family. Local schoolchildren and the city's mayor were invited along for an exclusive sneak peek at the new attraction.
Mayor Jan van Zanen was given the special honour of placing a minifigure version of himself on the balcony of the Miniland's Town Hall. Whilst being interviewed by The Hague FM the mayor expressed his amazement at the model's details and confirmed himself to be a fan of the brick, recalling his happy childhood spent playing with LEGO with his brother.
As indoor attractions, LEGOLAND Discovery Centres' Minilands typically feature far greater illumination than their theme park counterparts. The Hague definitely looks like it will be best viewed after dark. A local reporter has shared footage on Twitter of the spectacular light show built into the city's pier district.
