City of Joburg's VayaMoja app ready to roll out second phase to enhance reliability and usability of public bus services
August 29, 2016 /in Customer Stories, News /by Shaun Dicker
Developed as part of the City of Johannesburg's move toward a public transport system that is seamless and integrated, the first phase of the VayaMoja mobile app was released in July 2016 and the launch of its second phase is imminent. This is the result of a joint effort between Intervate, a T-Systems company, and the City of Johannesburg to provide citizen engagement technologies in the sphere of public transport. The VayaMoja app allows commuters to access information on all Rea Vaya and Metrobus routes, bus frequencies and stops, as well as fare information.
29th August 2016 – Press Release, Craig Heckrath, Head of Mobility
"We are now ready to roll out the second phase of the VayaMoja app service," says Craig Heckrath, who heads up the Smart Citizen product team at Intervate. "We've partnered with a vehicle tracking company to have tracking units installed in all buses across Johannesburg. Now that we know where every bus is and what direction and speed it's moving at, we will be able to create a reliable, predictable public transport experience for commuters. Currently users can see bus routes and stops, but they don't have a sense for when the next bus is coming. Once this phase of the project is live, users will be able to make better decisions when navigating the complex Johannesburg transport system, as they'll be able to track bus movements and get timing estimates directly on the app," Heckrath explains.
Intended to empower commuters to plan a journey based on their current location and where they want to be, users will now be able to search destinations, select routes and see bus arrival times. The Johannesburg public bus service currently has a spider web of routes across the city, with a multitude of stops which even regular users might not be aware of. "This phase of the VayaMoja app development will get us closer to enabling the commuter to navigate this web of complexity and we are excited about this phase. We're doing our best to speed things up and by the beginning of 2017, we should have reached full functionality which will enable commuters to engage in end-to-end navigation through the VayaMoja app," Heckrath concludes. The VayaMoja app is available free of charge from the app stores for both Android and iOS.

木の国サイト情報館 / Kino-Kuni Site Sight Information Pavilion | 北川原温建築都市研究所 | Atsushi Kitagawara Architects Inc.
The Kino-Kuni Site・Sight Information Pavilion is located within the Yamanashi Central Supply Center of Prefecutural Wood. Exhibiting, training, and cultural interexchange concerning wood are the main activities of this core facility. Inspired by the regional geography of the Kofu Basin, Yamanashi, analyzed as an enclosed openness, the spatial potential of the site was planned to be extracted by enclosing its existing open character, by the creation of an "Open Gallery". This corridor formed space was planned to be a prototype of new wooden architecture constructed of regional thinning wood. The Open Gallery is composed of a continuous roof that bends up and down continuously, under which lattice-frame seismic walls and wainscot walls are placed rhythmically. The Open Gallery forms a multipurpose court of lawn, with one side open to the bank of the Kamanashi River and its greenery. Here various events take place, such as promotions of timber and greenery, and also regional festivals and open-air markets; it is a space for regional interchange centralized around wood.


The Harris Museum and Art Gallery is housed in a beautiful Grade I listed building in the centre of Preston. The Harris Museum has large collections of paintings, sculpture, textiles, costume, glass and ceramics. The gallery space has a number of exhibitions and a national reputation for contemporary art shows.

Features Business & Policy
FCC: Ontario farmland values gained steam in 2017
By Farm Credit Canada
Ontario's average farmland values gained steam in 2017, while the Canadian average increase held relatively steady, a sign of a strong and stable agriculture economy, according to J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist for Farm Credit Canada (FCC).
The average value of Canadian farmland increased 8.4 per cent in 2017, following a gain of 7.9 per cent in 2016. Although average farmland values have increased every year since 1993, recent increases are less pronounced than the 2011-2015 period that recorded significant average farmland value increases in many different regions.
"With the steady climb of farmland values, now is a good time for producers to review and adjust their business plan to reflect variable commodity prices and slightly higher interest rates, assess their overall financial position and focus on increasing productivity," Gervais said. "It's also a good idea to have a risk management plan in place to protect your business against unforeseen circumstances and events."
In Ontario, average farmland values increased by 9.4 per cent in 2017, following gains of 4.4 per cent in 2016 and 6.6 per cent in 2015.
While Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia reported the largest average increases, four provinces – British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island saw a smaller increase from the previous year.
Quebec and New Brunswick both showed increases that were fairly close to the national average, while Newfoundland and Labrador didn't have enough transactions to fully assess farmland values in that province.
Some of last year's average farmland value increase may also be a result of timing as most provinces recorded a faster pace of increase in the first six months of the year while interest rate increases didn't occur until the latter half of 2017. Recent increases in borrowing costs and expectations of further increases could cool the farmland market in 2018, according to Gervais.
FCC's Farmland Values Report highlights average changes in farmland values – regionally, provincially and nationally. This year's report describes changes from January 1 to December 31, 2017 and, for the first time, provides a value range in terms of price per acre.
"It's important to remember that farmland prices can vary widely within regions due to many local factors that can influence how much value a buyer and seller attach to a parcel of land," Gervais said.
He also stressed that every farm operation is unique and there may be a strong business case for buying more land, but not without carefully weighing the risks and rewards.
"Farm operations need to be cautious in regions where the growth rate of farmland values has exceeded that of farm incomes in recent years," Gervais said.
"The good news is Canadian farms are generally in a strong financial position when it comes to net cash income and their balance sheets," he said.

Alliance Benefit Group 2017 Plan Sponsor of the Year Award Presented to Origin Bancorp, in Partnership with Argent and 401K Plus
Contact: Brooks Campany
Argent Financial Group, Inc.
bcampany@argenttrust.com
RUSTON, Louisiana, April 18, 2018 – Origin Bancorp, Inc., in partnership with Argent Trust Company, Argent Advisors and 401k Plus, was presented with the national Alliance Benefit Group (ABG) 2017 Plan Sponsor of the Year award yesterday at Origin's main branch and corporate headquarters, located in Ruston, Louisiana. The largest financial institution headquartered in northern Louisiana, Origin Bank also recently filed paperwork to become a public company traded on Nasdaq.
Pictured left to right are Ashlea Price, Origin Bank; Jeanne Van Benthuysen, Argent Advisors; Barry Guinn, Argent Advisors; John Cole, 401K Plus; Lance Hall, Origin Bank; Kelly Duran, 401K Plus; Beverly Myers, Argent Trust; and Gary Moore, Argent Trust.
The award was created to raise awareness of the importance of employers focusing on employee retirement readiness and how they can help make a real difference in participant outcomes. Origin Bancorp, Inc.'s employee retirement plan, administered by Argent Trust Company as trustee, with 401k Plus as record keeper and contract administrator, was chosen as the winner from a pool of 13 finalists from across the U.S. More than 80 percent of Origin's approximately 700 employees participate in the company's retirement plan.
"We are honored to be recognized, along with our exceptional employee retirement benefits team," said Linda Tuten, executive VP and chief people & diversity officer for Origin Bancorp, Inc. "Through our partnership with Argent, our employees receive the personal attention and a top-notch financial program that produces the results they deserve."
Argent Trust Company has been plan trustee for more than 14 years, and 401K Plus has been record keeper for seven years.
Origin's employees enjoy a robust plan that has 401k provisions within a ESOP. The structure is complex, but is the optimal plan design to meet Origin's goals. "We enjoy the challenge of administering such a specialized plan," said Gary Moore, president of Argent Trust in Louisiana. "Being acknowledged by ABG for doing what is in the best interest of plan participants is quite rewarding. The focus and effort, along with our commitment to frequent advisor meetings with employees has created a successful long-term partnership."
Criteria used by ABG to determine the winner included annual improvement in results in participant retirement readiness, employer involvement in promoting their plan through employee education, advisor participation in improving outcomes and driving results, and implementation of advanced plan design strategies.
"Origin had some very strong competition for this award, which further highlights the excellent way this plan has been managed and communicated and what the team has done to benefit their employees," said Barry Guinn, senior vice president and investment advisor representative for Argent Advisors. "Participation increases each year, because it is ingrained in the company culture to provide in-depth benefits education. Employees recognize this personalized attention and are more inclined to take advantage of this benefit."
"We're proud to be recognized as part of the team. Origin's commitment to financial wellness and the partnership with Argent is key to their achieving maximum results for their employee retirement plans." said John Cole, vice president for 401k Plus, Inc. "We take on the plan administration work and keep the plan in compliance. But the heavy lifting has already been done."

OPEC Must Continue Working with its Non-OPEC Allies to Overcome Downturn
by September 19, 2020 November 21, 2021
Amid oil price volatility, expanded producers' agreements and questions about the long-term outlook for oil, OPEC is celebrating its 60th birthday this week. OPEC's ability to emerge from adverse situations and perform its fundamental task of balancing the global oil market and securing favorable price levels for its members has kept the entity both relevant and efficient six decades on, says MEED, part of GlobalData.
OPEC's 60-year journey has been filled with crises and episodes that have repeatedly struck at its very existence. Since its formation, the oil producers' group has endured at least seven major oil price cycles, including the current coronavirus-related downturn.
Indrajit Sen, Oil & Gas Editor at MEED, part of GlobalData, says: "The Saudi Arabia-led organization's greatest achievement to date has arguably been its success in keeping a Russia-led group of 11 non-OPEC oil producers engaged since November 2016, in a mechanism to achieve global crude demand-supply balance through production cuts.
"The OPEC+ alliance, as the cooperation framework between the Riyadh- and Moscow-led sides has come to be known, has proved highly effective in helping the oil market recover from the late 2014 to early 2017 downturn."
The unprecedented crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic is expected to result in a year-on-year loss of 9.5 million barrels a day (b/d) of crude demand in 2020, according to OPEC's own estimate. In response to the precipitous demand decline, OPEC+ sealed a landmark deal in April to reduce oil production by 9.7 million b/d in May and June, and gradually ease output cuts until April 2022.
Sen adds: "The ongoing production cuts have played a key role in boosting oil prices from the historic lows touched during the second quarter of 2020, particularly in April. OPEC knows it is battling probably the biggest oil demand erosion challenge it has ever faced, and must continue working with its non-OPEC allies in the future to overcome the downturn."

It's tempting to think of software as just creating the digital counterparts of real-world items such as email versus letters or an Excel spreadsheet versus a ledger. And at a basic level, this is true. After all, the oil and gas industry spends $5 billion each year on paper records which can be managed more inexpensively by digital document software.


As I sit here in the early morning writing this article I am approaching two milestones, one personally and one professionally: Today is my 30th wedding anniversary and my 300th article for OTA. While different, both are an opportunity to reflect back and be grateful for the experiences. The one thing they do have in common is that the time goes by a lot faster than I'm often prepared for.
I'm very fortunate to work for a fabulous organization such as OTA. The whole culture is about student success and being the best we can be. Our mission statement is something that each member of the organization embodies: Transforming lives worldwide through exceptional trading and investing education.
So, there are a lot of topics I could explore but I think the most inclusive is Market Indicators for Real Estate. No matter how you invest in real estate, through the public or private sector, you need to understand where the market has been, where it is currently and where it is going.
Leading – Indicates expectations for future events.
Lagging – Indicates things that have already occurred.
Concurrent – Indicates occurrences that happen at approximately the same time.
How long the active inventory of properties for sale are on the market before they are sold.
Compare Average Days-on-Market with Median Days-on-Market. This will tell you if the new listings are selling faster than the existing inventory.
The number of homes that started construction within a designated period of time. Housing starts are used as a leading indicator.
10 year notes. The Federal Reserve watches the 10 year Treasury Rate before making its decision to change the Fed funds. That's because the 10-year Treasury note (like all other Treasuries) is sold at an auction. The rate indicates the confidence investors have in economic growth.
Currently – Interest rates moved sharply higher at the start of May, however most buyers who are currently under contract were looking at rates in April when they were lower. Still, the average interest rate on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage is hovering at right around 4.0 percent, which is still exceptionally low.
Measures current contracts in place on existing single family homes, condo's, townhomes and co-ops.
Currently, we are seeing U.S. home buyers signing more contracts. The National Association of Realtors measures this and saw it that it rose 3.4 percent from March to the highest level in nine years. Pending Sales are now up 14 percent from a year ago. "Realtors are saying foot traffic remains elevated this spring, despite limited-and, in some cases, severe-inventory shortages in many metro areas," Said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors.
Well I look forward to writing many more articles for you and helping to make our mission statement come to fruition in your lives.

Palin's Gay Friends?
Jamie Kirchick searches high and low:
Several news outlets have reported Palin's assertion, made during the gubernatorial campaign, that she "has gay friends." Finding these individuals has been difficult. "We don't know anything about that friend," says Marsha Buck, president of the Anchorage-based gay rights group Alaskans Together for Equality. "If that friend or those friends are Alaskans, we don't know anything about them. We're wondering maybe if it's a friend who lives in the lower 48."
Or maybe she's just making things up as she goes along.

Pintard Wants Solution for 'Stateless Youth'
Posted on 20 June 2017. by Jones Bahamas
Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Michael Pintard made an impassioned plea in the House of Assembly yesterday and urged his parliamentary colleagues to recognize the importance of reaching out to marginalized and disenfranchised young persons in the country.
Mr. Pintard's comments came during his contribution to the 2017/2018 Budget Communication debate in the House of Assembly.
"If young people are to be empowered then we must reach out and include their peers who feel marginalized and disenfranchised.
"For if there is a segment of our society that is locked out from the mainstream, then all of our lives are diminished in some way and for those whose status has not been addressed due to the nationality of their parents we must solve this problem.
"It is important that we engage the country on this frank and candid discussion. If young people must be empowered, they must have access to resources because notwithstanding the best information they may have in their head, often times their dreams and aspirations will not be realized," Mr. Pintard said.
Haiti in March joined Jamaica to become the second country in CARICOM to become a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
The convention sets rules for the conferral and non-withdrawal of citizenship, in an effort to combat statelessness.
The rules include granting nationality to people born in territories who would otherwise be stateless.
Haiti's decision does not affect The Bahamas, which is not a signatory to the convention.
The Bahamian government has maintained that based on Haitian law, no matter where they are born, children of Haitian descent are Haitian at birth.
According to existing policy, such people would require a Haitian passport and a residence permit to be in The Bahamas.
Nonetheless, activists and scholars have said for years that there are thousands of "de facto" stateless people born to Haitian parents living in The Bahamas, people with no ties to Haiti.
Advocates for constitutional reform of citizenship provisions have argued that the Bahamas' citizenship laws contravene various international conventions that relate to statelessness.
The minister's comments came at a time when The Bahamas wrestles with a more than 20 per cent unemployment rate among Bahamian youth.

We made this sausage as an alternative to our pork and beef sausage. Our TURKEY sausage is made with lean turkey meat and stuffed in a pork casing. Lightly seasoned with garlic and always slow smoked with NATURAL PECAN WOOD LOGS.
All of our Natural Pecan Wood Smoked Sausage is slow smoked to perfection BUT NOT FULLY COOKED. When preparing our smoked sausage, always remember to cook the sausage until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees fahrenheit. When preparing our smoked sausage on the grill or smoker, we recommend using indirect heat at a low temperature of 225-250 degrees fahrenheit, taking extra care not to over cook the sausage so the casing does not split. Don't have enough time to fire up the grill or smoker? A traditional way to prepare our smoked sausage is to simply boil it in a pan of water until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees fahrenheit.
Turkey, Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic, Mustard Seed, Sodium Nitrite. STUFFED IN A PORK CASING.
Monday - Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.


Texas Medicare Part D Drug Plans help Medicare recipients control their retail prescription drug costs. We are very lucky to have this coverage. Prior to 2006, Medicare beneficiaries did not have outpatient drug coverage under Medicare.
You can either enroll in a stand-alone Part D drug plan, or you can enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan that has a Part D drug plan included. No matter how you get a Part D plan, every plan has four stages. To learn more about Texas Medicare Part D's four stages, check out Part D Basics.
For 2018, there are over 20 Texas Medicare Part D drug plans to choose from. It is important that all people with Part D review their coverage every year. The plan's benefits, formulary, pharmacy network, premium and/or copayments and coinsurance may change on January 1st of each year.
Your insurance company will send you an annual notice of change around September of each year. Review it carefully to see the upcoming year's changes.
Medicare Part D covers most types of prescription drugs in the United States, with just a few exceptions. All drug plans include certain medications such as anti-cancer and anti-seizure medications.
All plans must also include at least two medications from each therapeutic class. This means that if you develop new health conditions that require medications mid-year, your doctor should be able to find drugs on the formulary to help you.
However, there are certain classes of drugs that Medicare doesn't require Part D drug plans to cover. For example, Medicare drug plans aren't required to include barbiturates and benzodiazepines in their formularies.
Part D is an option part of Medicare. With that said, if you choose to forgo enrolling in a Part D plan, you can be penalized for each month you go without creditable coverage. Which means, if you ever do choose to enroll in a Part D plan, you will have to pay the penalty in addition to your plan's premium.
Every month you go without Medicare Part D, 1% of the national average Part D premium is added to your plan's premium. Not only do you have to pay this penalty on top of your premium, but this penalty is lifelong.
In order to avoid being penalized for not having Medicare Part D, you must have creditable coverage. The two most popular forms of creditable drug coverage in Texas are group health plans and VA benefits.
If you continue active work past 65 and have insurance with a drug plan through your employer, that coverage could be considered creditable drug coverage. Same goes if you have VA benefits. VA benefits act as creditable coverage for Part D. However, they are not considered creditable coverage for Part A and Part B.

June 25, 2003: Power Ban Imposed On Enron
Greg Mazurkiewicz
WASHINGTON — The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has announced that it has banned Enron from selling electric power and natural gas in the United States.
FERC noted that this was the first imposition of its "death penalty" ruling on a power marketer. The penalty came because of the agency's determination that Enron was involved in artificially inflating power prices in the West during that region's energy crisis in 2000-01.
FERC also noted that Enron would be allowed to return to the power market after it comes out of bankruptcy.

Don't Know Much About the Civil War: Everything You Need to Know About America's Greatest Conflict but Never Learned (Unabridged)
Kenneth C. Davis
"Distinct, clear, and balanced. . . . Davis has a gift for deftly rendering the essentials."—New York Times Book Review
"Lively and relevant." —USA Today
Millions of Americans, bored by dull textbooks, are in the dark about the most significant event in our history. Now New York Times bestselling author Kenneth C. Davis comes to the rescue, deftly sorting out the players, the politics, and the key events—Emancipation and Reconstruction, Shiloh and Gettysburg, Generals Grant and Lee, Harriet Beecher Stowe—and much more.
Drawing on moving eyewitness accounts, Davis includes a wealth of "hidden history" about the roles played by women and African Americans before and during the war, along with lesser-known facts that will enthrall even learned Civil War buffs. Vivid, informative, and hugely entertaining, Don't Know Much About the Civil War is the only audiobook you'll ever need on "the war that never ended."

Bankruptcy proceeding Code , the only way to release education loan financial obligation inside the personal bankruptcy are of the showing "excessive difficulty." Because of the stating excessive adversity, you're generally stating that you are incapable of pay off the fund, and also in trying do so, you might sustain significant pecuniary hardship, which may create very hard to generally meet your very first need.
There is no hard and fast rule to proving undue hardship, but the courts now use the Brunner/Gerhardt test, which was first instituted by the Second Circuit in Brunner v. New york County Advanced schooling Provider Corp., 831 F.d2 395 (second Cir 1987). This test was used again in In re also Thomas , in which a debtor with diabetic neuropathy filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and a complaint in bankruptcy court against the Department of Education in an attempt to discharge $3,500 in educational loans. The debtor claimed that her medical condition prevented her from working a standing job, and that she could not find a sit-down job either. Therefore, she could not repay her loans and other living expenses.
In order for the debtor's claims to be successful, she had to meet the following criteria of the Brunner test:
The newest borrower usually do not keep up with the "minimal" standard of living to possess herself or the lady dependents for her newest income if the compelled to pay back the borrowed funds.
Even more affairs are present that will be attending persist for some of the fresh new fees time of the mortgage, impacting cost subsequently.
The borrower have to have produced "good-faith" efforts to repay the borrowed funds.
While the debtor in In the re Gerhardt was able to satisfy the first requirement, she could not prove her inability to find a sit-down job in the future, and therefore couldn't satisfy the second requirement. The debtor later appealed the .

Many parties have criticized the Brunner test and its criteria for proving undue hardship. Some courts see the requirements as unnecessarily difficult to meet and struggle with the fact that sympathetic and unsympathetic debtors are held to the same standard.
But not all hope is lost for those seeking to discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy. Courts have strayed from the Brunner test and granted relief to those who had no disability to outstanding circumstances.
In From inside the re Bronsdon , a 64-year-old woman claimed that she was unable to find employment and could not repay her student loans (totaling over $82,000) from law school. While this didn't prove that the debtor's future ability to find a job was completely hopeless (i.e., the second requirement of the Brunner test), the bankruptcy court nevertheless granted the discharge. Upon appeal from the ECMC, who claimed that the debtor did not exhaust other options, such as a consolidation program known as the Ford program, the First Circuit upheld the decision and allowed for the discharge. The court stated:

Who flunked the commander-in-chief test? CNN.com
Who flunked the commander-in-chief test?
By Peter Bergen, CNN National Security Analyst
Updated 2:07 PM ET, Mon October 10, 2016
Peter Bergen: Trump fell back on a familiar mélange of empty slogans and false claims to describe what he'd do
Bergen: Clinton, by contrast, had some sensible policy proposals, including a no-fly zone over northern Syria
Peter Bergen is CNN's national security analyst, a vice president at New America and a professor of practice at Arizona State University. He is the author of "United States of Jihad: Investigating America's Homegrown Terrorists." The opinions expressed in this commentary are his.
(CNN) Since the U.S. president as commander in chief controls the world's most powerful military, it was sobering to watch Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton debate national security issues on Sunday night.
Trump fell back on a familiar mélange of empty slogans and false claims (a.k.a. lies) to describe what he would do as the nation's next leader. He demonstrated he is completely unqualified for the supremely difficult job of commander in chief.
Trump said "I will knock the hell out of ISIS," seemingly unaware that 45,000 ISIS fighters have been killed in the past couple of years by the US-led coalition, according to US Army Lt. General Sean McFarland, who was in charge of that coalition until two months ago.
As a result, there are only an estimated 19,000 to 25,000 ISIS fighters left, while ISIS' recruitment of "foreign fighters" has plunged from an estimated 2,000 a month to a trickle of only 50 a month.
Trump's experience as a reality TV star finally came in handy
ISIS now has a serious math problem because the attrition rate from US air strikes is vastly more than the group's capacity to attract new fighters. This may be why ISIS propaganda is increasingly featuring child soldiers; the group is simply running out of men.
Attacking Mosul
When it came to a discussion of the impending coalition attack on Mosul, the ISIS-held city that is the second largest in Iraq, Trump said at Sunday's debate, "We have announcements coming out of Washington and coming out of Iraq, we will be attacking Mosul in three weeks or four weeks. Well, all of these bad leaders from ISIS are leaving Mosul. Why can't they do it quietly? Why can't they do the attack, make it a sneak attack?"
Debate co-moderator Martha Raddatz of ABC News, who has spent considerable time in the Iraqi war zone, gently suggested that the U.S. military might have an actual strategy in making these announcements, proffering that they could be "psychological warfare."
Trump, who has previously said he knows more about ISIS than the generals, said he couldn't think of any military reason for these announcements saying, "I can't think of any. And I'm pretty good at it." This is a bizarre claim from someone who repeatedly avoided service in Vietnam and has no record of visiting any of America's post-9/11 war zones.
Who won the town hall debate?
Raddatz proffered another reason for why the US military was signaling an impending attack on Mosul, saying, "It might be to help get civilians out." More than a million refugees may pour out of Mosul as the battle there intensifies. But Trump seems to have not considered that the US military may have a plan with these announcements about the Mosul campaign.
Raddatz followed up by asking Trump what his strategy in Iraq is. Trump had no answer, instead falling back on the claim that "200 admirals and generals" backed him. In fact, 88 retired generals and admirals endorsed Trump last month. Clinton has the backing of 110 retired generals and admirals.
Muslims and refugees
At Sunday's debate Trump also said Muslims should "come in and report when they see something going on. When they see hatred going on, they have to report it."
Muslims are, in fact, already doing precisely that. According to research by New America, of the more than 360 jihadist terrorism cases since 9/11 in the US, more than a quarter were precipitated by tips from the Muslim community or from family members.
Trump repeated a thoroughly debunked claim about the San Bernardino terror attack in December, saying "many people saw the bombs all over the apartment of the two people that killed 14 and wounded many, many people." There is no evidence for this assertion.
When asked about one of his signature plans, a ban on Muslim immigration, Trump said that the plan had "morphed into a extreme vetting from certain areas of the world." Trump claimed that there are "hundreds of thousands of people coming in from Syria when we know nothing about them. We know nothing about their values and we know nothing about their love for our country."
Clinton, Trump: Time for clarity on your Syria policy
This is another false claim. The United States has only taken a paltry 10,000 Syrian refugees, despite the fact that Syria is now in the grip of one of the worst humanitarian disasters since World War II. Almost five million refugees have fled the country and another six million have fled their homes but remain inside Syria.
And refugees are not a big source of terrorism in the United States. According to New America's research, of the 360 cases of jihadist terrorism in the US, refugees committed only 12.
Contrast that with the fact that every lethal jihadist terrorist crime in the US since September 11, 2001, was committed by an American citizen or legal permanent resident. And 81% of the 360 jihadist terrorism cases since 9/11 have involved American citizens or legal residents.
Trump also continued his strange campaign to defend Putin's Russia, saying we don't know that the hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails was the work of Russians. This came only two days after the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, released an official statement saying that the DNC hacks "are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process" and "that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized these activities."
Does Trump have some special intel about the perpetrators of the hacks that the US intelligence community is unaware of? Of course not.
Clinton's proposals
Hillary Clinton, by contrast, had some sensible policy proposals during the debate, including one she has proposed in the past: A no-fly zone over northern Syria that would help to prevent the wholesale slaughter of Syrians by the Assad regime's warplanes in Aleppo, which is now being compared to Dresden, Germany during World War II.
In recent months Clinton has been silent on the no-fly zone issue, but the collapse of the recent peace initiative with the Russians seems to have emboldened her to push this plan again. Clinton also endorsed the effort to investigate war crimes "committed by the Syrians and the Russians."
She also claimed she "would not use American ground forces in Syria," which is something of a distinction without a difference since US Special forces are fighting in Syria already.
The Trump tape doesn't matter
Clinton said she would "go after Baghdadi," the leader of ISIS. This is surely what the Obama administration is already doing, given the fact that US airstrikes have killed more than 135 ISIS leaders and officials.
To summarize, Trump has no serious plan for the key foreign policy problem facing the US today -- the implosion of Syria. Clinton would continue the Obama strategy, which has certainly not brought peace to Syria, but has imposed significant costs on ISIS. She would also impose a no-fly zone, which would tamp down the slaughter of civilians and reduce the refugee flow out of Syria.
In the Clinton-Trump debate, there was no discussion at all of America's longest war in Afghanistan, where the Taliban now controls a third of the country. What should the next commander in chief do there?

There was also no discussion of what happens when Mosul falls. How do the US and its allies plan to govern the city and encourage a political accommodation in Iraq that can reduce the sectarian tensions that produced ISIS in the first place?
And as the campaign against ISIS reaches a climax, what of the thousands of Western foreign fighters in Iraq who are not captured or killed on the battlefield? Where will they go?
Hopefully we will get some answers to these questions in the final debate.


I've come across a very annoying problem that occurs when I try to move a bezier handle on any spline point. When I try to move the bezier handle both handles stretch out and jump.
I'm not sure what is going on. I have all snapping off.
Has anyone else come across this? Any suggestions? It's hard to imagine if this was a bug more people would have complained about it by now.
I'm using R20.057 latest version.
Yes I have noticed this on occasion - for me it happens only quite rarely (most splines don't give me the problem) and only in perspective view - don't think I have ever seen it happen in an orthographic view, so I tend to just move my beziers there instead when it occurs. As for why it occurs on some splines and not on others I have no idea !! :/ Have you reported this to MAXON ?
No.. I haven't reported it but I will. Is there an official way to report bugs or just contact support? This is happening in all views, both orthographic and perspective, there is nothing I have found to get it to stop. It's a real bummer for what I'm trying to do right now. I'll try it on my other MSA installation when I get a chance to see if it is happening there too.
Is there an official way to report bugs or just contact support?
You can do it via MAXON's website, which I see has changed to reroute you to their new support center where you can open a ticket.
Quantising also has its moments, I somehow turn mine on by mistake and suddenly can't move anything within a certain range. V annoying.

European Card Acquiring Forum. Authorization: The financial institution that issued the card or "issuer", provides an authorization code verifying the credit card is valid and credit is available for the sale amount. A temp hold on funds or "soft charge" will automatically fall off the cardholder's card after 4-5 business days if the merchant does not capture or settle the authorized transaction. The gateway then passes on credit card information to the acquiring bank, when a customer makes a purchase. The acquiring bank approves the transaction and credits the company's merchant account. Some small merchants are unable to find an acquiring bank that is willing to set up a merchant account for them. This is often the case if the merchant doesn't have a long trading history. In such cases, merchants may use a third-party biller instead of an account with an acquiring bank. This cuts down on red tape and allows a merchant to process payments immediately. A credit card processor offers merchants online services for accepting payment online including credit card, debit card, direct debit, bank transfer and real-time bank transfers.


Oh, Once Upon A Time you will continue to ruin my life.
SPOILER KLAXON SPOILER KLAXON SPOILER KLAXON.
To quickly recap, after giving Hades and Zelena a shot at true love, Emma takes Hades word that everyone can leave the underworld and return to Storybrooke. YAY! EVERYTHING IS FINE RIGHT?! Of course there's a catch, as Hook is dead he can't return to Storybrooke as easily as everyone else. Emma tries splitting her heart with Hook and it fails unlike it did with Robin and Regina which made us all face the harsh reality that hook was up there in Storybrooke rotting... which is a nice image for us all. Hades then happens to state a way that could bring Hook back to life, by getting hold of some ambrosia and proving that what Hook and Emma have is true love... and it failed because the tree had been cut as Hades is a you know, Lord of the underworld so WHY did anyone trust him?! After all they've done (a whole 9 episodes worth) to bring Hook back, the realisation that even their love can't save them is all too present. Hook proceeds to let Emma go, even though he loves her and this is where every viewer's heart hurt a bit.
Hook and Emma's relationship has been a fan favourite and it's clear why. First off, their attraction is undeniable and THE TENSION. When they first meet, in a cliché way Emma doesn't trust him and knows he's bad news so naturally ties him to a tree. Then comes the beanstalk where Emma injures her hand and Hook treats it with his mouth as he only has one hand. Clue's in the name really. It was all a bit steamy... pirates eh? The chemistry between the two builds over time and they tend to trip and fall onto each-other a lot and casually have a sword fight. FLIRT CENTRAL. They have a kiss and we all collectively screamed FINALLY, whilst Emma insisted it would never happen again.
In season three we saw them grow closer, Hook spends more time with Henry and Emma learns he gave up his ship for her, I repeat HE GAVE UP HIS SHIP. They do some more kissing and we all fall in love with them more as we go into season four and they become an actual couple.
Whilst Hook was running around being the dark one seeking revenge on Rumple, Emma in an attempt to save Hook from not only Rumple, but himself sacrifices herself by channelling all of the Dark Ones into herself. Hook then sacrifices himself by convincing Emma to stab him with Excalibur so he can consume all the darkness and she will be free of it. Whilst sobbing (along with the rest of us), she transforms back into her trademark red leather jacket and becomes the saviour once again and gathers everyone to go to the underworld to save Hook.
After running around the underworld, Hook is found and Emma free's him from his imprisonment by Hades bringing us to where we are now, emotionally bruised with Hook letting Emma return to Storybrooke without him. He knows his fate and wants her to move on. However Emma begs him to allow her to be his unfinished business to prevent him to move on from the underworld leaving a glimmer of hope for them.
What I begrudgingly love about this scene is that it questions whether some relationships, no matter how much you love and fight for someone, it sometimes just doesn't work. In a show based off of happy endings and fairy tales, it brings some reality and to face facts. Hook is dead and has been for a while. Emma fought her hardest and tried everything she could and it still wasn't good enough to save him. Personally after this whole storyline, I expected it to work because you want them to work that's why it worked so well as a shocker and cliff hanger. The reason why I'm so mad at the writers for this though is you want Emma to have the happy ending. You want it to exist. You're really rooting for these two because they are so right for each-other and THEY LOVE ONE ANOTHER IT'S JUST NOT OKAY.
I have some hope that they will find a way to reunite Captain Swan before the end of this season but I feel that could be false hope but please OUAT gods, make it happen. Either way, I'm still mad over it.
SO MANY FEELS :( i'm a huge Once fan too, and I have to say I was disappointed that Emma has to let Hook die. But who knows? Writers have a way of tricking audiences and may give us hope again - crossing my fingers for a huge twist involving Hook to come back alive!
I can finally read this but I realised I could have all along haha! This season was WAY too emotional but I'm so glad about the turnout of this season for the most part! Some of those GIFs made me sob internally! I'm kind of annoyed they are bringing back the evil queen again?! What do you think??


Ah, the famous doily lamp.
This project is viral on Pinterest and was of the first things I ever pinned to my CraftyTime board. I liked the idea so much that I inadvertently pinned it twice. It seemed easy enough -- wallpaper adhesive + doilies + a round balloon = a lamp.
While I'm not the best crafter, I wouldn't call myself an amateur. I tend to know what I'm doing (most of the time) and rarely fail at a project. I REFUSE to fail! I keep working on things until I fix them, but this doily lamp proved a different story.
1. Supplies may vary. One of the inherent blessings of Pinterest is that you can connect with people from all over the world, but this also turns out to be a curse because supplies vary from country to country.
2. Doilies are not that easy to find. I was under the impression that doilies could be found in abundance at any thrift store. Wrong. When you actually want a doily they're suddenly nowhere to be found. I went to three stores before I finally found a bag for $5. Lucky me, it was labeled with just the right color to be 50 percent off! What I didn't like is that they were all exactly the same. I really wanted a bunch of different patterns and textures, because I think that's what really gives the lamp its character, but I was desperate at this point. And who can say no to $2.50?
3. You need a lot of Doilies. To create the lamp you paint glue onto a round balloon, place the doily on it, then paint more glue onto the doily. The doilies should overlap until the entire thing is covered. Guess what? I only had enough to make a lampshade. Luckily I had already seen this pin, so I was ok with a lampshade. I had to be...Where would I find more matching doilies??
4. Wear an apron: Everything seemed to go just fine. It only takes about 10 minutes to get the balloon covered. I hung the balloon outside and left it to dry. A few minutes later I heard a pop. The doilies landed in wet dirt. Four letter words were used.
What I really wanted to do was throw the whole thing in the trash, but instead I washed the doilies just enough to get the dirt out, without washing out all of the glue. I covered another balloon, feeling almost grateful for the pop since I was doing a better job of spacing the doilies evenly. I left it to dry overnight.
The really exciting part comes when you get to pop the balloon yourself. I was nervous. "Is it gonna work?" I carefully peeled back pieces of it to see. It seemed fine, so I cut the end of it off and then watched in horror as the entire thing shriveled up into a fat doily wad.
While I was able to "unwad" the doilies and see what could have been, the thing just isn't durable. It collapses and has a yucky tinge to it. The doilies are peeling apart. It's a piece of crap.
But it's not over yet. Just today I purchased some fabric stiffener from Michaels - $6.99. I'm planning to soak these doilies in an attempt to salvage them and if that doesn't work, I will scour the entire Valley until I find enough doilies to attempt this again.
If you've seen a project on Pinterest you want me try before you invest your energy and wages into it, please let me know.

SANDOR: Should York9, Forge worry over slow start to spring sprint?
Author Canadian Premier League - Feed
EDMONTON – Ontario's two Canadian Premier League outfits may not buried yet, but the first heaps of dirt have been shovelled on the spring seasons of both York9 and Forge FC. In the CPL's 10-game opening stanza, you can't afford to have a slow start. Just as you lose a 100-metre dash in the first 20, you can throw away the spring season by not being able to get points in the first couple of games. You might not be able to win the spring season over the first few weeks of the schedule, but you can sure lose it. Both York and Forge suffered setbacks on the road Saturday, as an injury-decimated Nine Stripes featuring a rebuilt midfield couldn't cope with Cavalry FC's constant pressure on the ball and were weak on set pieces. They surrendered two goals on corners in a 2-1 loss. Meanwhile, a wayward clearance attempt from Forge defender Bertrand Owundi put the ball on a platter for Wanderers' striker Luis Alberto Perea, who converted the chance and the consigned the Hamilton side to a 2-1 loss in Halifax. The two '905 Derby' rivals — who kicked off the 2019 season with a draw — each have just a single point after two games. In a 30-game season, or even a 20-game season, it wouldn't be time to panic. But, in a 10-game spring campaign, these teams have put themselves in a lot of trouble. Why? We can come up with a target number for the CPL spring season by looking at the history of the North American Soccer League. In both 2015 and 2016, the NASL's spring season, like the CPL, saw each team in the league play just 10 games. In 2015, the New York Cosmos earned 20 points to win the spring title, and Indy Eleven won it in 2016 with 18. Both of those were closely contested seasons — so each of the champions needed each and every single one of the points they earned. So it's fair to say that, based on a 10-game schedule, 18-20 points is the target for a potential CPL spring champion. The would mean each of York and Forge have to get 17-19 points out of eight remaining games. That's an average of more than two per game. In fact, for Forge, it's absolutely fair to call Wednesday's game against Pacific FC a must-win. If Forge doesn't get three points out that game, the team might not have enough time left in the spring season to get out of its hole. Meanwhile, FC Edmonton and Cavalry are the only teams boasting 100 per cent records. Sure, they've only played a game each, but both are at home for their next games, and both Cavs coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. and FCE boss Jeff Paulus will be hopeful that their teams can hit the six-point mark by game two. Paulus was the Eddies' assistant coach for those 10-game spring seasons in NASL. And he said if the Eddies can win next week, while some teams are falling back, it's difficult for those at the bottom of the standings to catch the leaders. "What makes it so tough is that we've seen that there's such parity in this league," Paulus said. "If we get to six points after two games, and there's other teams at one, that's basically two games they have to make up. And in a league that's so close, with such small margins separating the teams, it's hard to close that gap. "We saw it in the NASL, if you start off six points down after two games, it was almost impossible to make up. You think 'it's only six points,' but if it's two or three teams ahead of you, that's tough. For us, it's massive to start the season off with a win." The mood is bullish in the mountain time zone. It's one week in, but in this opening sprint, it's Alberta who has gotten off the block quickest – the question is, can the Ontario-based sides catch up?

We are building a new home and would like to have the basement waterproofed. Does your company do that type of work?
We install a waterproofing membrane that is intended for use where significant water is anticipated in the area (often for structures at the bottom of a slope or other locations where water is directed towards the foundation). Most foundation contractors will install a damp "proofing" product that helps reduce water vapor from coming through the wall but not intended as a waterproof barrier. We don't do any damp proofing.
From the plans provided, it looks like the basement has 8 ft ceilings and approximately 170 linear feet of basement wall. One of the benefits of the product we propose to use is that we can extend the membrane above grade. The material will need to be installed after the overnight temperatures are above freezing (that may be in May in your neck of the woods). We will cover the entire wall from at least 6″ out on the footing and to the top of the wall. The system includes installation of a protective "scratch coat" for the part of the wall above grade and a little below. We will need to wait to do the work at least 10 days after the concrete is placed (and a minimum of 3 days after the forms have been removed.
The cost for the membrane installation as described is based primarily on the area to be coated. The bottom portion of the wall will need to be either covered with scratch coat, drain board, or if the soil is very clean and no rocks or gravel, we can carefully back-filled within 48 hours of the placement of the membrane (the material is UV sensitive). The membrane is installed instead of damp-proofing (and they are not compatible products).
I know a waterproofing membrane may be overkill for a typical basement wall but it is a great product. The membrane system comes with a 20 yr warranty.

Understanding the mechanisms of senile osteoporosis: new facts for a major geriatric syndrome.
Aging Bone Research Program, Nepean Clinical School, University of Sydney, Penrith, New South Wales, Australia.
J Am Geriatr Soc. 2008 Jul;56(7):1378.
Knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of osteoporosis in older adults has significantly advanced in recent years. There is an acute loss of bone mineral density in the peri-menopausal period, followed by a more gradual and progressive decline, which is also seen in men. Markedly increased bone resorption leads to the initial fall in bone mineral density. With increasing age, there is also a significant reduction in bone formation. This is mostly due to a shift from osteoblastogenesis to predominant adipogenesis in the bone marrow. This study reviews new evidence on the pathophysiology of senile osteoporosis, with emphasis upon the mechanism of action of current osteoporosis treatments. New potential treatments are also considered, including therapeutic approaches to osteoporosis in elderly people that focus on the pathophysiology and potential reversal of the adipogenic shift in bone.
