A vibrant dance display and fashion show were staged at a Diwali festival on Sunday.
Maidenhead MP Theresa May was among the 150 guests at the Hindu Society of Maidenhead's annual event at St Piran's School in Gringer Hill.
People of all faiths were invited to the free event which also included, prayers, music and a vegetarian meal.
Children acted out the story of Lord Rama and Sita which is at the heart of the Festival of Lights.
Trustee Surinder Arora, said: "There were lots of children this year and the play was well-received.
"I think the children's programme was the strongest part of this year's event."
He added: "We welcome everyone as a way of knocking down barriers between different faith groups and were very happy that Theresa May took part."
Diwali officially falls on Tuesday.


Never let school interfere with your education. ~ Mark Twain.
Most of my students experience frustration over my methods of providing them with cases and materials, and then playing around with hypotheticals – and the factual modification of hypotheticals – to explore the ramification of case holdings and rules of law. "I came to law school to get answers, one student raged, and all you're giving me is more questions!" "How do you propose to deal with legal questions once you are in practice?", I asked him. "And if you think I am such a fount of understanding, how do you think I got that way; and do you think you might be able to develop such a skill?" It is encouraging to find some students who grasp, at the outset, that their success in the classroom and as lawyers depends upon this process of learning how to think. I often receive favorable responses from students years later. I had one student tell me "when I was a student of yours, I hated your guts. Now that I've been out in practice for ten years, I think I learned more from you than from anyone else." Just a few months ago, a former student wrote me – thirteen years after graduation – to thank me for what she learned from my classes.

Jens Nymand Christensen, director general deputy of Education and Culture of the European Commission and Antoni Vives, deputy mayor of Barcelona and President of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, have granted the winners the prizes of 60,000 € (primary prize) and 20,000 € (emerging architect prize). The winners also have received a sculpture by the Catalan artist Xavier Corberó, and the finalists and the clients have received a medal that merits their work and implication in the construction of the highest quality of the European territory.
The awarded have been chosen from a list of 420 works from 36 European nations, and five finalists have been selected: Ravensburg Art Museum by Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei; Danish Maritime Museum in HelsingØr by BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group; Antinori Winery in Bargino-San Casciano Val di Pesa, Florence, by Archea Associati; Szczecin Philharmonic Hall by Barozzi/Veiga and the Saw Swee Hock Student Centre – London School of Economics, in London, by O'Donnell + Tuomey.
Designed by Barozzi/Veiga (Alberto Veiga and Fabrizio Barozzi) with the collaboration of Studio A4, the Szczecin Philharmonic Hall houses a symphony hall for 1000 spectators, a chamber music hall for 200 spectators, a multifunctional space for exhibitions and conferences, and a wide foyer. In its materiality, the building is perceived as a light element: the glass facade, illuminated from within, presents different perceptions. The exterior austerity and the simple composition of the interior circulation spaces contrast with the expressiveness of the main hall and the gold leaf covered concert hall.

Five questions with caddie and jerky man Jeff King
Derek Evers
jeff-king.jpg
Q: How did you get started?
A few years ago I bought a dehydrator. There was really no reason other than I wanted to try and make homemade beef jerky. It was the ultimate impulse purchase.
Q: When did you start making it for tour pros?
Two years ago at a Nationwide event I gave some to [player] Scott Brown, and he said I should sell it. He said, "If I can get three or four guys to buy it, will you make it?" From there it just took off. I've never actually ever had to ask anyone to buy it. They just do.
Q: How did you get it in the hands of Tiger Woods?
Lance Bennett caddies for Matt Kuchar, and they play a lot of practice rounds with Tiger and shared it with him. I actually just dropped off a batch to him at East Lake this week, which was the first time I hand-delivered it to him.
Q: So how much do you make selling it?
I sell it for $40 a pound, but I don't make all that much. I figured out once I was making about $3.70 an hour making jerky. But the looks on the guys' faces makes it worthwhile. The guys who like the Buffalo-style jerky say it's addicting and often buy four to six pounds at a time. That's pretty gratifying that they like it that much.
__Q: Now that your jerky is available for anyone to buy at www.kingmadejerky.com, could you ever see hanging up your caddie bib? __
I really can't. I caddie for the competition. I love it. Luke [List] and I have a goal to play in the Ryder Cup, and when I set a goal, I normally don't stop short of it. I'm not leaving until we reach it.

The Vertical Forest (Bosco Verticale) Towers in Milan are examples of towers that arouse wonder, not because of their height or grandeur, but because they are the first in the world to restore the glory of the hanging gardens of Babylon. These are "living towers," in which tenants grow trees in the air, real trees.
There is a reason why the Vertical Forest Towers in Milan were chosen as the international top skyscrapers of 2014. The towers, designed by the Italian architect Stefano Boeri, were cited as a striking example of the integration and symbiosis between architecture and nature. For the towers that are over 100 meters high, there are over one thousand plant species. Gray water systems have been installed in them, which enable irrigation with shower water and are equipped with solar panels for electricity generation and water heating using solar energy. Thus, they created a microclimate environment that saves energy, contributes to the environment, rehabilitates the environment and enables the existence of a harmonious life of man and vegetation side by side.
Another environmental advantage in these towers is the acoustic coverage and reduction of noise pollution blocked by the trees and vegetation on the balconies of the apartments in this vertical forest. They also help reduce air and dust pollution in apartments, block the direct sunlight entering the apartments during the hot seasons, and reduce wind disturbance to the occupants' lives.

View my last HGC post here.
View all of my previous blog posts here.
It's now been several weeks since the third ban took the Nexus by storm. While the first three weeks of Phase 2 didn't have third ban, the professional scene did have a third ban for the two weeks that followed, as well as both Clashes. As such, now is probably a great time to look at the impact of the third ban on the overall meta of the HGC.
I've split the data I've gathered for Phase 2 into two parts. The first data collection contains North American, European, and Korean games from Weeks 1-3 (189 games total), which should give us an idea of how the pros handled two bans. The second set of data contains all of the North American, European, and Korean games from Weeks 4-5, as well as both Clashes (200 games total), so it is roughly the same sample size and should help give a diverse view of how much impact the third ban wave had.
Hopefully, this article will cover absolutely everything that you could want to know about the third ban's impact on professional play!
Hero Popularity
Let's start out by looking at how the third ban impacted general hero popularity. Did it yield greater levels of diversity, as we had hoped? Well, sort of. Here's a table showing the number of unique hero selections made during the first three weeks.
And here's that same table, looking at the hero pools during Weeks 4-5, plus the data gathered from both Clashes.
As you can see from the tables, the overall number of heroes in the pool has increased....however, this isn't necessarily a very meaningful statistic on its own. When we look at the context of the stats in question, we can quickly find out why these numbers have changed. The third-ban patch released alongside the changes to Azmodan and Raynor, who had not seen play prior to this point. They account for 2 of the new heroes on this list. Additionally, Arthas and Auriel are only counted on that overall list due to being picked/banned by China during the Eastern Clash. Lastly, two new additions to the list of picked heroes are Gazlowe and Kael'thas. The latter received a slight buff in the 35.2 patch, which may account for his sudden appearance in Clash play, and the former....might not have been the most serious of picks to begin with.
When you account for these individual pieces of data together, they make up the entire difference between the first and second tables in terms of overall popularity figures (at least, at first glance....but more on that in a moment). The number of unique picks in NA, EU, and KR decreased slightly, while the overall popularity remained relatively constant. The ban count, however, did increase slightly in all three regions, suggesting that at least the additional ban is having a direct impact in the area you'd expect it to: there are slightly more unique hero bans than there used to be. This shift can also be seen a bit more easily when looking at how much the draft slots have changed via the table below.
There were a total of 23 unique hero bans during the first pair of bans in Weeks 1-3, but with the addition of a second pair of bans, that number has ballooned to 35 unique hero bans. The impact on the draft of such a massive increase in bans is fairly obvious when you look at the rest of the numbers. A third ban in the early part of the draft typically means more generalist heroes banned out, and more room to try and choke a specific player or role early in the draft. As such, many teams resort to scooping up the handful of generalists that remain in the pool (and still cover these choked-out roles) much earlier, leading to a smaller, more condensed pool of hero picks in the first half of the draft. This then leads to marginal improvements in the diversity of the back-half of the draft in response to those earlier chokes. While the margin is fairly slim, it is nonetheless there and has made at least a minor impact in overall diversity.
Hero Ban Rates
Of course, just looking at broad-spectrum data will only tell us so much. It doesn't show us the details of how each hero has changed. So let's look at that next. This table separates each hero out into categories depending on their ban rates. Let's see how it looked like during Weeks 1-3.
And here's that same table, looking at the data from Week 4 and beyond.
Now that we are looking at the data in a different light, we can see a lot more individual points of change, and the impact of the third ban becomes a lot clearer than before. The largest impact of the third ban is towards the center of the chart, with heroes that were originally somewhat popular in the meta to begin with, but the lack of an additional ban made them a bit of a lesser priority. Generalist assassin heroes such as Fenix and Hanzo were always fairly common picks, but the decline of Tracer and the addition of third ban allows them to be somewhat more meaningful in the draft. You can also see this in the tank role, where Diablo has increased in ban priority in part due to the presence of a third ban in draft.
You can also see some of the third ban's influence on meta shifts. For example, when Maiev quickly rose back up to prominence during the Clashes, her ban rate skyrocketed far more than her pick rate did. The presence of a third ban gave teams a chance to ban her out freely and still have an additional "spare" ban for more specific draft concerns. We can also see that specialized picks like Sgt Hammer and Medivh, who have been shining more on the international tournament stage, have both seen upticks in their ban rate as a result of having an extra ban available.
Individual Hero Assessments
Now that we've looked at some relatively generalized data on the subject of picks and bans, I'd like to look at individual performances and see which heroes have seen statistically significant shifts in their ban rate. This will make it easier to tell what sort of impact the third ban might be having. In order to make as much of this information available to my readers, I created a separate spreadsheet to hold this data, which you are welcome to view here. I will not be going over every single detail in that spreadsheet, as that would expand this article's length far more than I care to, so feel free to review my work for yourself!
Of course, when looking at this sort of data, it's important to remove changes that might not be meaningful. So I've done a simple 95% confidence interval calculation to help remove ban rate changes that are less likely to be meaningful, and compiled my findings in a pair of tables that show every single statistically significant change in ban rate between Weeks 1-3 and Weeks 4+. And here they are:
Now it is worth reminding you that just because a change is statistically significant, it does not mean that the change was directly caused by the third ban. Many of these changes are the result of more mundane elements, such as buffs/nerfs, overall meta shifts, and plain old experimentation. We can remove a number of names from this list based on those things. Raynor's sudden appearance on the list is the result of reworks that made him into a meta pick. Garrosh went up as Johanna's priority went down, indicating an obvious meta shift. Similarly, Malfurion received a nerf that removed his Ice Block, pushing Deckard Cain further up the ladder in pick rate. Tracer lost some of her damage, decreasing her emphasis in pro play and likely increasing the stock of other assassins. And so on.
However, as you may have noticed, the number of statistically significant increases in ban rate is a much, much longer list than the number of decreases. This helps to really showcase just how much things have changed with the presence of the third ban. Ordinarily, a single hero's increase will lead to another's decrease, such as the relationship between Garrosh and Johanna. But there are far more increases than decreases because of the fact that two more heroes are getting banned each game. This is relatively obvious, of course, but what's less obvious (at least, when you don't have the data in front of you) are the benefactors.
Generalists like Yrel, Diablo, or Fenix were already fairly meta, but didn't usually draw an early ban. Now these heroes are drawing many more bans than they did before. We can see a similar effect on "tournament heroes" like Maiev, Sgt Hammer, and Medivh, who were also pretty ordinary meta, albeit mostly for the international stage. But beyond that, some heroes that almost never got banned, such as Alexstrasza, Zeratul, and Thrall, saw spikes in their ban rates due to the handiness of having an additional ban to deal with more specific brands of heroes that work well with a specific comp or map.
The third ban has not created a massive upheaval in terms of how many heroes are picked or banned. However, its effects on the meta have been significant. A significant number of highly "meta" generalist heroes are now more frequently banned than usual, allowing some of the less popular "off-meta" picks a chance to shine. There are two distinct "styles" that the third ban has been used for:
1) to eliminate additional highly-desirable meta heroes
2) to further restrict a team's choices via a traditional "role choke" or "player choke"
While it is impossible to determine exactly how much of these ban rate increases are due to one or the other, it has enabled a greater degree of strategy that much of the pro scene seems to be in favor of. In any case, it is good to see both the professional and casual scenes responding favorably to this additional ban, and I think its overall impact has been significantly positive. Let's just hope that we don't need to wait 3 more years for a fourth ban!
Looking for more of my work? I previously did a piece much like this one, showcasing Raynor's use in the HGC. That article is located here. Feel free to let me know your thoughts to this article in the comments section below, or on Twitter at my handle @CriticKitten. I look forward to your replies!
Hope to see you again next time!

Thanks for putting this together. It's about what I expected, high impact on draft strategy, low impact on what heroes we actually see played.

I've been working very, very hard recently. Weeks and weeks of 6 thirteen hour days in a row then one day off.
As a freelancer it's incredibly tempting to accept every bit of work offered to you because there's always a little voice in your head saying, 'Take it whilst it's there. Next month may be quiet'. It's gotten to the point, however where I feel I'm close to burn out so I decided that I had to have some time off. So I turned down work over Easter (eek!) and now I've got seven blissful days off.
I've been looking forward to it so much that I was surprised to find myself, pacing round the living room this morning going, 'What now? What should I do now?' Yup, I've forgotten how to relax! I'm so used to meeting deadlines, having to be somewhere, working like the clappers to deliver a show on time that I've actually forgotten how to take it easy.
So I intend, this week, to rediscover the slow life.
Sit and read a book with Radio 3 on in the background.
Go to a film on my own. Probably the Yves Saint Laurent film.
Catch up with friends. I have an old friend from high school who I haven't seen since we came over to London together more years ago than I care to remember. We've been trying to arrange a meet-up for about six months now and I'm ashamed to say that it's always me who blows out because of work.
Bake. I love baking but it's time consuming so I haven't baked for ages. I want to try and make a good & gooey chocolate cake.
Work my way through the box set of Breaking Bad.
Good decision to relax! Happy Easter by the way :) I relax by catching up on fiction I've been meaning to read but haven't coz I'm also busy at work. Decided to stay home and not meet up with anyone, not drink and have a hangover for days. Been watching films on BT Vision. Finally got to see Philomena and off to see Gravity later. £3.50 per rent. A lot cheaper than in the cinema. Finally visited a restaurant I've been wanting to visit for a year. I'm going back! I sometimes love not having a schedule and not much to do. PS. been having popcorn and diet coke. Isn't that great? Hahaha. Enjoy relaxing!

Using a Bio-Ethanol Fire to Restore a Historical Fireplace
Historical property restoration has become a huge craze, with many going to great lengths to return structures centuries old to their former glory in a modern setting. But many still also resort to destroying and rebuilding instead of facing the time and effort of restoration. (Check out his article on How to Choose a Fireplace and Identifying Historical Design Styles)
Luxury heating company Smart Fire UK says it needn't be such a labour of love and have heating solutions available to make the process a little easier. Smart Fire UK's innovative and stylish designs have made them popular within the luxury sector, but the company has also been behind fireplace restorations in some of the finest historical houses. EcoSmart Fire products work by burning bioethanol, which produces no smoke, gases or odour, and do not require a chimney, flue or extraction system. This makes them the perfect choice for restoration projects if fireplaces have been blocked off and chimneys deemed unusable. The clever design of the heaters and the bespoke facades mean they look at home in grates dating back centuries.
Trinity House, the working home of the General Lighthouse Authority in London, faced a tricky restoration project when it's 18th Century grates were deemed unusable due to lack of chimneys. They wanted to bring the impressive fireplaces back to life, and realised that to do it they would need to seek alternative answers. That's when they decided to investigate the use of clean-burning fires, and came across Smart Fire UK. The fireplaces, which dated back to 1796, presented a new problem as they were not straight-edged, and instead had a unique curved shape.
Smart Fire UK fitted the fireplaces with bespoke drop in plates. The EcoSmart Fire XL500 Burner was incorporated into the fireplace in the Court Room and a VB2 burner into the smaller Luncheon Room of the House. Smart Fire UK also manufactured bespoke glass fireguards and modern safety features without distracting from their beautiful appearance. Events manager for Trinity House Edgar King said: "The fires have created a cosy ambiance for both daytime and evening events and the fact that this heating source is environmentally friendly is an added bonus.
"Before the renovation the fireplaces were technically in fine condition but we felt it was a waste of a potential source of heat and added ambience that they were inoperable."
Smart Fire UK has worked on a number of different restoration projects, and are keen to stress the value of restoration. Paul Holt from Smart Fire UK said: "It's been a great honour to be a part of restoration projects in places like Trinity House, it's a rewarding feeling to bring a historical feature back. "Properties built hundreds of years ago are constructed in a completely different way to those built today, but it's a great shame not to make the most of their quirks and period design.
"Smart fires are a great solution for anyone looking to breath life into historical fireplaces which have been rendered un-usable in a modern setting.
"Many people also don't want to use traditional fires with chimneys because of the soot and maintenance. "The EcoSmart Fire XL500 is a great model for restoration, as it can be easily installed in existing grates.
"That's not to say it doesn't always go without a hitch, but with some innovation and perseverance people can certainly preserve a piece of history in their own homes or property, it just requires some homework."

Seoul creates $4.4bn company to aid maritime turnaround
August 25th, 2017 Sam Chambers Asia, Finance and Insurance, Regulatory 0 comments
In the ongoing resuscitation of the nation's ailing shipping and shipbuilding sectors, South Korea's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is forming a KRW 5trn ($4.4bn) company to support a maritime turnaround in fortunes.
News of the company, to launch in June next year, comes a week ahead of the first anniversary of the collapse of Hanjin Shipping, South Korea's erstwhile flag carrier.
The new company will provide refund guarantees for around 30 small and medium sized yards, as well as monitoring turnarounds at struggling shipping and shipbuilding companies.
"The plan is to support small and medium-sized shipbuilders facing difficulties getting a refund guarantee despite landing orders," Kim Dong-yeon, the finance minister, said.
"Until the industry recovers, financial policy will work as a supplementary tool for the market," Kim added.
Is it inevitable that soon all ship emissions data will be made available to the public?


Jonathan Jones (16 June) makes the surprising claim that for Jan van Eyck to show Adam and Eve naked in 1432 was "unprecedented". What about the Genesis sculptures on the facade of Orvieto cathedral, dated 1325-30, the early 1400s painting of the Fall by Jean Limbourg, and the famous Masaccio Expulsion from the Garden of Eden in the Brancacci chapel 1426-27? You might argue that Jan van Eyck would not have seen any of these but that's not the same as saying they didn't exist.
• Re the sad news of Puan's demise (Oldest Sumatran orangutan dies at Perth zoo aged 62, 20 June), I was struck by the last part of your report. It seems she was put down because "age-related complications" were affecting her "quality of life". Why should such useful facilities not be available to her human cousins?
• Another Morris Traveller fault (Letters, 16 June) were the rear doors which fell open to questing child fingers. It was virtually a rite of passage for us to fall out the back when we were small children (the smallest child being stuck in the luggage area to shoot down following cars). Oh well, baby boomers were plentiful! Luckily, it always occurred at low speed and other cars were rare.
• On a poster board outside a church in Liverpool in the 1960s (Letters, 15 June) was the question "What would you do if God came to Liverpool?" and underneath was scrawled "Move St John to inside left".
• Man City May have Jesus up front (Letters, 20 June), but Burnley have Pope saving us.


It is recorded in the pages of Scripture that "a good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children (Proverbs 13:22). A good man sees into the future and plans out his heritage. A good man has a vision for the present and a vision for the future. A good man does not think about himself or herself alone, they think about their children. They think about the position that they want to leave them in before their life is over. A good man leaves an inheritance.
A selfish person, an ignorant person, an evil man leaves nothing. The plans of the diligent bring plenty, as surely as haste leads to poverty (Proverbs 21:5). The slacker craves, yet gets nothing, but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied (Proverbs 13:4). It is extremely important for the Christian to consider their choices in light of the present and in light of their own demise. Your vision should not end, when you do. Look at Elisha, whose last miracle was accomplished after he perished.
Your vision, your heritage, should outlive you. You should be accomplishing things after you have already died.

I think this speaks to leaving a legacy of godliness. So many times we in the West think if inheritance in terms of finances. Legacy goes far beyond that.

Japan may cancel F-35 accord
March 01 2012 00:01:00
TOKYO - Reuters
Flags of several countries that take part in Lockheed Martin's F-35 program are seen on a fighter jet are seen in this file photo. Japan says it may withdraw from adding its flag to the group of buyers. Hürriyet photo
Japan may cancel orders for Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jets in the case of a price rise or delivery delay, Defense Minister Naoki Tanaka said yesterday, putting Tokyo's choice of next-generation combat aircraft in doubt.
Tokyo has warned Washington against increasing the price, but this was the first time Tanaka had raised the possibility of cancelling the order in public.
The Pentagon this month confirmed plans to put off orders for 179 F-35s over the next five years to save $15.1 billion, a move that a Lockheed executive said would increase the price of the radar-evading warplane.
Japan is due to pay 9.9 billion yen ($122.96 million) per fighter for an initial batch of four that are scheduled for delivery by March 2017. Japan plans to buy 42 in total.
Tokyo eased a decades-old self-imposed ban on arms exports by the end of last year, paving the way for Japanese firms to participate in multinational weapons projects.
"As for the first four planes, I expect an official contract to be concluded by this summer. If it turns out they cannot meet what they have proposed by that time, that would raise concerns about our defense capability," Tanaka told parliament.
"I believe we would need to consider as a potential option matters like cancelling our orders and starting a new selection process if that is the case."
Japan, which is concerned about China's rapid military buildup and constant threats from impoverished North Korea, in December chose the F-35 over combat-proven but less stealthy rivals.
The F-35 competed against Boeing's F/A-18 and the Eurofighter Typhoon, made by a consortium of European companies including BAE Systems.
Lockheed Martin has said it is committed to providing F-35s that meet the cost, schedule and industrial requirements of the Japanese government, but added that F-35 pricing is determined by talks between the Japanese and U.S. governments.
Japan's defense budget has been under pressure with the country saddled by a public debt twice the size of its economy.
International partners to the F-35 project are reconsidering their orders. Canada has called a March 2 meeting of officials from the partner nations, which include Turkey, Britain, Australia, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands and Norway in Washington.
However, Turkey is sticking to plans to buy 100 F-35 fighter jets for $16 billion, with an initial order of two planes for delivery in 2015, Defence Minister İsmet Yılmaz said earlier last week, amid concerns about the project's delays and rising costs.
"Abandoning the planes' purchase is not being considered currently," Turkish Defence Minister Ismet Yilmaz said in a written answer to a question from an opposition lawmaker, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters.
"In the first stage, orders will be given for two F-35 planes. Turkey plans in total to buy 100 F-35 warplanes," the minister said.
"As of today the total amount which will be paid under the project is envisaged to be around $16 billion," he added.

Kelvin scale
a thermodynamic temperature scale based upon the efficiencies of ideal heat engines. The zero of the scale is absolute zero. Originally the degree was equal to that on the Celsius scale but it is now defined so that the triple point of water is exactly 273.16 kelvins. The International Practical Temperature Scale (1968, revised 1990) realizes the Kelvin scale over a wide range of temperaturesCompare Rankine scale

Science definitions for kelvin scale (1 of 2)
A scale of temperature beginning at absolute zero (-273.15°C or -459.67°F). Each degree, or kelvin, represents the same temperature increment as one degree on the Celsius scale. On the Kelvin scale water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K.
The SI unit used to measure temperature, the basic unit of the Kelvin scale. A difference of one degree Kelvin corresponds to the same temperature difference as a difference of one degree Celsius. See Table at measurement. See also absolute zero.

Culture definitions for kelvin scale
The standard temperature scale in scientific work, proposed by Lord Kelvin. A degree on the Kelvin scale is the same size as a degree on the Celsius scale, but the Kelvin scale starts at absolute zero instead of at the freezing point of water. Thus, on the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is zero degrees, ice melts at about 273 degrees, and water boils at about 373 degrees.

Donor Privacy and Confidentiality Policy
Your trust and confidence are important to us. The Wilhelm & Karl Maybach Foundation (Maybach Foundation) in the United States, and its affiliated Wilhelm & Karl Maybach Stiftung in Germany, strongly supports protecting the privacy of its donors and the confidentiality of information concerning them. The purpose of this policy is to state the position of the Maybach Foundation on donor confidentiality and donor anonymity and will guide the actions of the Board of Directors, the advancement staff and volunteers who may serve the Maybach Foundation, regarding the rights of donors and potential donors to confidentiality regarding their transactions with the organization.
The Maybach Foundation recognizes that the operation of the Maybach Foundation requires the maintenance and management of extensive donor and prospect records. Donor records often contain sensitive information that has been shared with or maintained by the development staff on a confidential basis. "Records" means all files, including electronic data, containing information on donors or prospective donors to the Maybach Foundation.
Policies — Confidentiality of Records
The US Operations Manager (or the CEO's designee) shall be responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of donor and prospect records and will ensure that all staff and appropriate volunteers have clear direction regarding the confidentiality of records through the establishment of appropriate operating procedures and education. The US Operations Manager may, at his/her discretion, make all or part of any hard copy or electronic record available within the Maybach Foundation's normal course of work with staff or volunteers if essential to them in executing their responsibilities. Disclosure decisions will honor the wishes of donors, where noted in writing, related to disclosure to any public listing(s.)
Hard copy of donor records is never removed from the Maybach Foundation office(s) and is maintained in a locked filing area after normal business hours.
To carry out its responsibilities, outside financial auditors may need to review donor/prospect records. Maybach Foundation auditors are authorized to review donor and prospect records as required for the purposes for which they are engaged. Pledge agreements are considered "strictly confidential information" and are not public documents. Particulars of a pledge document will not be shared with the general public nor with any of the donor's financial advisors, legal advisors, family or selected individuals, unless the donor has granted permission to do so in writing or unless these details are essential to be shared in a legal proceeding.
We do not sell or rent our donor names. On occasion, the Maybach Foundation may determine that it is useful to offer our donors and prospective donors opportunities related to other Maybach enterprises or its sponsors/partners. In that instance, names will only be made available to a mail house (with their own confidentiality agreement to manage the list process) and never directly to another business entity.
The donor or donors who sign any donation agreement are the "Representative(s.)" Only the Representative(s) is authorized to receive donor summaries of information concerning his/her donation activity, unless directed otherwise in writing by the donor(s) or as mandated through legal proceedings.
Publication of Donor Names
The names of all donors will be listed in the Maybach Foundation's annual report, periodic newsletters, on the website and, as appropriate in any public lobby listings, unless the donor specifically requests public anonymity. Exceptions will be made for any donor who specifically requests anonymity. Anonymity is always offered in all solicitation reply devises and through website giving options.
The Maybach Foundation will never disclose the specific amount of any donor's gift without the permission of the donor, although the Foundation lists donor gifts in gift ranges. Donors making gifts to the Maybach Foundation in memory, or in tribute, will not have the amount of their gift disclosed to the memorial/tribute family/friend representative ; only the donors name and address and that donated in that manner will be shared.
Anonymous Gifts
Maybach Foundation staff and other appropriate volunteer donor solicitors are authorized to accept anonymous gifts to the Maybach Foundation. In the event the US Operations Manager is uncertain about the desirability of accepting an anonymous gift, he/she shall consult with the Executive Director or President/CEO, as applicable.
Kinds of Information
The Maybach Foundation may collect personal information such as individual names, company names, titles, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, e‑mail addresses, biographical information and payment information (such as credit card numbers) from donors.

Natasja van der Meer (1969), born in Amsterdam and currently living and working in The Netherlands, studied sculptural art at the Nieuwe Akademie in Utrecht.
In her work, which consists mainly of sculptures, Van der Meer regularly incorporates existing objects to create iconic images with a sense of humour. In order to express her ideas, the artist works with scale: Van der Meer's sculptures are often a scaled version of existing, smaller objects. The adjustment of the size of these objects often evokes a sense of alienation and confusion. The artist started to use beads as three dimensional pixels to create hanging sculptures. With admirable precision she puts all elements together to create a clear recognisable image. Keywords are simplicity and clarity, and no unnecessary details are added to the artwork. This simplicity and unambiguous expression make the works of Van der Meer not only accessible, but contribute to the experience of aesthetic enjoyment of her art.
Her work has been shown at multiple exhibitions, for example at Gemeentemuseum The Hague and Singer Museum in Laren, and is included in several collections such as the Heineken Collection Foundation and Collection De Heus.

5 Players Arsenal Should Loan Out – Do You Agree?
Arsenal have added quality to their team this summer and could yet sign more players. This is all well and good but it does mean the squad becomes crowded and some youngsters can be neglected. Here's 5 players I feel would benefit from some time out on loan.
Having had a disappointing season with Freiburg the French U21 international utility player will once again be on the loan agenda for Arsene Wenger. Having only made 24 appearances for Freiburg in all competitions, Coquelin's development stagnated and the newspaper Bild ranked Coquelin as the 3rd worst player in the Bundesliga during the early parts of last season. A string of impressive performances in both the 2011-12 and the 2012-2013 season for Arsenal have highlighted both the quality and versatility of Coquelin. Given a loan chance in the top flight of English football would no doubt benefit the Frenchman and help to develop what could be a valuable asset for Arsenal plans in the future. Use the page numbers below to see the other 4 players who could leave on loan.

A ghost is wandering around between Europe and the States. It is the ghost of the other, the illegal, the different, the ghost of immigration without integration. Cinema too is feeling the blow. And this would suffice as news, at a time when only Avatars, virtual mercenaries landing on the planet Pandora, seem to arouse any emotion in the public. Something is changing, when a film like Amreeka – the Arabic for America – directed by Cherien Dabis, a Jordanian-Palestinian making his film début, is defined by the Los Angeles Times as 'the quintessence of American history.' Something has already changed if in France a small film like Welcome, which tells the story of the friendship between a Kurdish boy and a swimming instructor, takes the fine sum of 10 million euros and spreads around the rest of Europe, preceded by the fame of being a blockbuster. These are just two examples of a considerably longer list that has won awards from the international critics and is applauded by the public of the most prestigious European award-giving organisations.
There is nothing new about the theme, which the politically correct cinema has been using for years now. It is the approach that is different. There is no more talk of multi-culturalism, for example, also because nobody really knows what it is. The justicialist demagogues disappear and the social exposure that only too frequently took on the moralistic forms of the sermon on the evil West is decreasing. A fresh start is made from stories. And everything becomes simpler, more exciting and true. Amreeka did not win the Independent Spirit Awards because it is about immigration from the Palestine, but because Muna, the actress Nisreen Faour appearing in her first film, is an extraordinary character, an explosive mix of vitality and warmth. It is thanks to this that, fleeing from a nasty husband and the hell of Gaza, with a ticket won in the lottery for a stay in the United States, she finds the promised land in Chicago for herself and her teenage son, who will learn a few things about life from a Jewish teacher.
The variations of the story with a happy ending of the meeting of two wounded hearts are practically infinite. The wild Pierre comes to mind, the little orphan with an angel's voice that in the French film by Barratier, Les Choristes, is led by the affection of Clément the choirmaster to a future as an orchestra conductor. Or the twelve-year old Chuck, with his mother on her fourth marriage and his memory of a crazy father, who dreams of going to West Point and is encouraged by his teacher McLeod, an unprecedented Mel Gibson who in The Man Without a Face, backwards and forwards in front of the camera, hides his disfigured profile and frozen heart in an isolated house in Maine. And we could conclude with the young Jew Mosè who, in 60s Paris, discovers the scent of life and the flowers of the Koran in the sunny shop of the Islamic grocer, Monsieur Ibrahim. It is a delicate story about education by the director François Dupeyron, in which the banality of the teachings inspired by the mystic Sufi is redeemed by Omar Sharif's sunny liveliness.
It is not sufficient to take the desire of others seriously, it is necessary to accompany it and support it at one's own expense. It is a point on which western culture has lost its way, in the illusion that anti-conformism and creative freedom were sufficient to themselves. Two films are about misunderstandings, well represented in the figure of the 'bad teacher.' The first is a Hitchcock masterpiece, Rope. In this 1948 film, two boys kill their classmate for fun, to demonstrate the superiority of the intellectual over the rest of the world. And it will be the task of the school master James Stewart to discover, besides their crime, his own truly unforgivable guilt, committed out of vanity and scepticism: that is, of having introduced his boys to a nihilist attitude and then leaving them to translate it into realty. The second title, Dead Poets Society by the Australian Peter Weir, is somewhat more ambiguous. Robin Williams is the mythical Mr. Keating who, just before the 60s, arrives in the austere Welton Academy, a boarding school where the passwords all have a capital letter: Honour, Discipline, Tradition. He teaches his pupils to fight hypocrisy and to go along with their dreams and pushes them to fly alone, putting them against parents and teachers. A glorious ending for the teacher, dismissed by the school but sent off by the pupils standing on their desks to the motto "O Captain! My Captain!" A foregone suicide for the fragile Todd, (Ethan Hawke), left alone in the clash with his authoritarian father.
There is a last fundamental element in stories of education and extremely rare to find in cinema, since it requires depth and above all the certainty that words coincide with things, and objects with their meaning: the school teacher always introduces us to the knowledge of reality. As in the case of Hitchcock, here too we must think back to a master of cinema, Arthur Penn, and an undeservedly forgotten film of his of 1963, The Miracle Worker. Anne Bancroft is the rock of a junior school teacher who takes on the thankless job of introducing Helen, a blind girl, to the relationship between words and objects, to the meaning of the world. In order to do this, she has to overcome a seemingly insurmountable barrier: the affection of the parents who, through love, want to spare their daughter the effort of knowledge. A film like this would be unthinkable today: a beautiful Hollywood actress acting with dark glasses all the time, violent language and screaming, the physical clashes between the young woman and the girl, the fight against destiny that denies life value, tying it down to false pity. Just to add a final comment, the film ends with the little girl exhausted who, holding her hand under a fountain, laboriously spells out the word w-a-t-e-r. It is true, Helen is not a refugee, an illegal immigrant, different: but is there a difference?

Karateka Steam CD Key
Karateka is a 1984 beat'em up video game by Jordan Mechner, and was his first game created while attending Yale University. It was originally programmed for the Apple II, and was later ported to several other home computers and early gaming consoles. The game was published in North America by Brøderbund, and in Europe by Ariolasoft. The player controls an unnamed protagonist who is attempting to rescue his love interest, the Princess Mariko, from Akuma's castle fortress. The game exhibits a combination of a side-scrolling platform and fighting game elements. The player uses punches and kicks to defeat Akuma and his guards and make his way deeper into the fortress. The game, as with most at the time of development, lacked checkpoints or the ability to save the game, making it a challenge to complete in a single sitting. Karateka has been well-received, particularly for its realistic animations used for the game's characters. The game was considered a breakthrough success for Mechner, and would eventually result in his development of the Prince of Persia franchise. A high-definition remake, spearheaded by Mechner, was released as a downloadable title for the Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, with planned ports for the iOS and Wii U systems.

A DUI for caffeine? Prosecutor makes decision in strange case
(Photo courtesy: Fox 23)
(CNN) — A California DA has dropped charges against a man who was slapped with a DUI even though a drug test at the time only came back positive for caffeine.
Yes, a DUI for being caffeinated. There is definitely more to this story.
Pulled over for erratic driving, then charged
Joseph Schwab was pulled over in August 2015 in Fairfield, California. According to a statement from the Solano County District Attorney's office, the officer at the scene was suspicious because of Schwab's "erratic and reckless driving" and his "demeanor" and "performance on a number of field sobriety tests."
The officer charged Schwab with a DUI, and the charge stood even when his blood sample tested negative for drugs such as cocaine, THC and opiates.
How can you hang a DUI on caffeine?
The reason, according to the District Attorney's office, was because drug tests don't catch all drugs, and based on the officer's account it seemed like Schwab was definitely on something.
This reasoning didn't fly with Schwab's attorney, who told CNN affiliate KCRA she couldn't believe the charge.
"I actually consulted with the other attorneys in my office to make sure that I wasn't missing something."
Charges dismissed
On Wednesday, the DA's office announced they were filing a motion to dismiss the charges. That doesn't, however, mean they don't think drugs were in play.
The DA's office said forensic lab experts claim it was "highly likely the defendant was under the influence of a drug," but since they have no way to prove it beyond reasonable doubt, Schwab's off the hook.

Her eyes were bright and amber and missed nothing. Which was very good, for Minister Hanji was the spy-mistress of the Monarchy of Korat, charged with the security and protection of the Seat of Korat against espionage, while actively deploying her own agents to garner intelligence of use to the Seat. As such, she was accustomed to the ins and outs of paranoid and altogether curious sorts: spies, agents provocateur, long-term moles, and all the rest of them.
As such she was fairly sure the visit of Diplomat Illiad Bombay von Korat was something she was prepared to handle, despite his reputation. Even among his own people, Illiad was accorded a…curiosity. Relentlessly polite and altogether too inquisitive for his own good, the foremost diplomat of the Monarchies to the dogs of Pugmire was – not to put too fine a point on it – a spy.
Which meant his mission largely fell under Minister Hanji's bailiwick. Though she was relatively younger than the notorious diplomat, she occupied a position of authority over him, mostly because he wasn't in the Monarchies to play the political games needed to secure the position. Indeed, they'd never had the chance to actually meet face-to-face since she'd come to occupy that ranking, though they did know one another casually from before (all the spyfolk did seem to know one another, at the end of the day). So she was here to get things off on the right foot, and to perhaps even ensure a little regard was attached to her name for taking the sometimes headstrong and…independently creative diplomat-spy firmly in hand.
Thus, here she stood, next to some lout in an ugly indigo wrap. In and among the others who were waiting for the caravan gate to be opened in the great wall surrounding Korat proper. The caravan outside was mostly merchants, but also included a small group of travelers returning to the Monarchies from faraway places, including Pugmire. According to his last letter, Diplomat Illiad said he would be among them, and Minister Hanji wanted to make sure she was here to greet him.
The great gates finally clanked and groaned as they were opened, and then stopped. Dead.

 High-Speed Data Technology: cdma2000 1xRTT, EVDO
 GPS Localization
 Bluetooth 1.1: HSP, HFP, DUN, OPP, OBEX (Alltel) and FTP profiles
 USB to PC Sync

Other technical data include:
 Form Factor: Clamshell
 Stub/Extendable Antenna
 Battery Life: Talk: 4.67 hours, Standby: 280 hours (11.7 days)
 2.5 mm jack

The E815 also supports picture and ringer ID's, up to 6 numbers per contact, using MP3's and MIDI files as ringtones, Openwave WAP 2.0, EMS/MMS/SMS picture messaging, voice memos, alarms, calculator and calendars.

Programming
The phone can be programmed over the air with one step by calling Verizon's programming service at *228, and then by calling any number. Same Code Also works when activating an Alltel branded E815 to activate to Alltel's Network.

Criticism
Unlike the V710, which inherently had no Bluetooth OBEX profile, the E815 includes OBEX compatibility. However, this feature was disabled by Verizon, as were (like the v710) the options to copy and move files between the TransFlash memory card and the phone's internal memory. However, several enthusiast groups dedicated to hacking Motorola phones exist, and despite Verizon's attempts to limit the phone's native features, several tutorials have surfaced providing detailed instructions on how to re-enable crippled features.

One of the most criticised restrictions imposed on the Verizon version of the E815 is the obscurity and deliberate lack of any documented explanation of how to upload one's own custom ringtones to the handset. Verizon Wireless has stated the reason for the restriction on uploads is a precaution against a subscriber uploading malware to their phone. A more cynical view might be that Verizon wishes subscribers to purchase ringtones from their "Get It Now" service. Owners of the E815 have found that it is possible to upload ringtones using Verizon's VZWPIX website. For those who do not have an unlimited picture messaging plan, there is a small fee for the upload, but it's considerably less than purchasing a ringtone. Phone owners have also found a way to put ringtones on the phone using a transflash card.

Another restriction applied to this phone (by all carriers) is the inability to use QNC data, which was still (and may still be) the only data service available in some areas of the country and this is usually not brought up when people purchase this handset. Bell Mobility (Canada) has also been known to disable EV-DO functionality of the phone on their network, and there is currently no way to circumvent this block. EV-DO data does work if the phone is activated on another carrier such as Verizon or Alltel.

The E815 as well as the E816 variant used on the ill-fated Amp'd Mobile network both suffered from flawed internal battery charger software causing difficulties in charging the phone's battery. As a result, users had to resort to external battery chargers in order to continue to use the phone due to the internal charger's growing inability to function over time.

Skidmore replaces Ekman on BC Fed executive
by admin|Published November 30, 2018
Prince George will continue to have a voice at the highest levels of the B.C. Federation of Labour.
Delegates acclaimed Red Seal Electrician Laird Cronk as president of the 500,000 member organization and social justice and human rights activist Sussanne Skidmore as the new secretary-treasurer. Skidmore hails from Prince George and carried the New Democrat banner in Nechako Lakes in the last provincial election. She replaces Aaron Ekman, also from Prince George, in the secretary-treasurer's role. Ekman was elected to the position in 2014.
"We are stronger and better as a labour movement when we work together," Cronk says. "Let's get this job done," he told delegates. "Let's get out there together. Let's build. We have much work to do. We must lift up all workers—those in unions and those not yet in unions. We must build bridges for success and 'reconcili-action' in our house."
He says strengthening the labour movement and increasing its membership base ensures that the economy works for everyone.
Skidmore, an executive vice-president with the BC Government and Service Employees' Union says she is honoured to be the new secretary-treasurer.
"Together with Laird, I am committed to building a movement that is united, progressive and strong," she said.
A 33-year member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 230 on Vancouver Island, Cronk has been an executive officer of the BCFED for six years. A strong proponent of expanded apprenticeship and skills training programs, he is also a board member of the provincial government's Industry Training Authority.
