Scientific challenge
At a global scale peatlands store about the same amount of carbon that is present in the atmosphere and the ability of peatlands to act as a long-term carbon sink has played a major role in moderating changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration.
Since the end of the last ice age northern peatlands have acted as a major sink for atmospheric CO2; peat bogs now cover more than 420 million ha of the earth's surface and contain 500,000m tonnes of carbon, making them the single most important terrestrial carbon store. In the UK peatlands cover ~15% of the land area and store >1400 Mt of carbon.
Given the importance of peatlands in the global carbon budget, there are surprisingly few sites at which enough measurements exist to determine whether they are currently acting as carbon sinks or sources.
The CEH Carbon Catchments are a network of four UK peatland sites which aim to quantify the carbon balance of individual peatlands (sometimes termed the "net ecosystem carbon balance") by measuring and combining various flux terms.
This involves linking long-term measurements of land-atmosphere carbon flux (measured using eddy covariance and chamber methods) to downstream fluxes of particulate, dissolved and gaseous forms of carbon in rivers. The carbon balances of individual peatlands are based on high quality, reliable flux data, leading to an empirical understanding of the factors controlling these fluxes.
Each site is unique in its land use and history. The whole network provides a long-term basis for estimating the sink strength of peatlands under different climate and management scenarios.
The CEH Carbon Catchments also provide a framework for other related research, including PhD studentships. The Moor House site was the focus of a collaborative study with the University of Leeds on the role of peatland "pipes" in the transport of various forms of carbon to the stream system.
The aim of the research undertaken in the CEH Carbon Catchments is to quantify the sink-source relationships of peatlands and answer several key questions:
Are UK peatlands still a sink for carbon?
Is the sink strength changing, and why?
Are we measuring all the important flux terms?
What processes are controlling these important flux terms?
Long-term measurements of CO2 (and CH4) exchange over peatlands by scientists in the UK, Canada, Sweden and Finland show considerable year-on-year variation in the amount of CO2 draw-down from the atmosphere. This depends on seasonal changes in climate and in particular the timing of the switch that takes place at the end of the spring when photosynthesis replaces respiration as the dominant process. The switch reverses in the autumn when respiration takes over again from photosynthesis.
Carbon flux measurements (net ecosystem exchange or NEE) made by flux towers are now being linked to both CH4 emissions and losses in the aquatic system to "close" the peatland carbon budget. Streams draining peatlands export considerable amounts of carbon in various forms (solutes, particles and gases). Drainage systems associated with peat bogs are also supersaturated with CO2 and CH4 which is lost to the atmosphere by out-gassing ("evasion"). These "hotspots" of gas loss combined with losses associated with the leakage of organic C into streams are important terms in the annual carbon balance. The Carbon Catchments project brings together these individual measurements to produce site-specific annual carbon budgets.

LA County Board of Supervisors Gives Final Approval to Overnight Camping in Santa Monica Mountains
The amendment would allow cold camping and parking in some of the mountains' most environmentally sensitive and fire-prone wild areas; it now heads to the coastal commission.
By Jimy Tallal / Special to The Malibu Times
The LA County Board of Supervisors voted on Tuesday, Dec. 10 to approve the final version of Supervisor Sheila Kuehl's amendment to the Local Coastal Program (LCP) of the Santa Monica Mountains, which will allow overnight "cold camping" (without fires) and parking in some of the mountains' most environmentally sensitive and fire prone places. The amendment now goes to the California Coastal Commission for approval.
Local resident Barry Haldeman, an attorney by trade, has been the unofficial organizer of Malibu opposition to the LCP amendment.
"At least we have time to marshal our resources before the item is placed on the agenda of a Coastal Commission meeting," he said in a recent interview.
"Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas (ESHA) have always been the Holy Grail of the California Coastal Commission," Haldeman continued. "And now, all of a sudden, this new amendment allows for overnight camping in ESHA. It still means people invading ESHA even though it's 'cold camping.'"
The amendment specifies "cold camping" with no fires and revises the definitions for carry-in and carry-out camping and low-impact campgrounds. The revisions were based on the outcome of the Ramirez Canyon Preservation Fund v. California Coastal Commission trial court decision, recorded in September 2017, in which campgrounds located in an ESHA were determined to violate the Coastal Act.
According to arguments made during the supervisors' first vote on Sept. 24, the California Coastal Commission seems to be betting its new definition of "carry-in, carry-out camping" will not have an impact on ESHA, and therefore will not violate the Coastal Act. The term "carry-in, carry-out" refers to camping where campers "arrive at a campground by foot or other non-motor vehicle transportation from associated parking areas, ADA compliant drop-off areas, trails or bikeways, rely only on equipment and supplies that can be carried to the site, and leaving nothing behind at the campground upon departure," according to a staff report.
The Sept. 24 vote came after a weeks-long public outcry from Malibu that included a letter-writing campaign urging supervisors to reconsider making the change and nearly two dozen residents, including three city council members, who made the trek to downtown LA in order to give public comments. Those public comments did have some effect, which resulted in the wording being revised to include daily inspections of campground sites, including red flag days.
"We all know that means nothing, since there will be only one walk-through a day, even on high-fire red flag days, to enforce this rule," Haldeman said. "They only require that someone from 'campground management' inspect the areas once a day to see that no one lit a fire. 'Campground management' could be an intern, and the amendment doesn't specify when inspections will occur—they could happen at noon when no one would normally have a campfire rather than after dark. If you let people camp overnight, somebody is going to light a fire no matter what the rules are.
"Coastal is all about access and we must make it clear that no one is fighting a hike through ESHA," Haldeman continued, "But we think it's very dangerous to have any kind of overnight camping, cold or otherwise, with little to no supervision. As a matter of fact, we shouldn't be talking about camping in the mountains at all given the multiple fires we've had since Woolsey."
Editor's note: A previous reference to Malibu's Local Coastal Program has been updated with correct wording.

High in the mountains of Wrestle Land lays a mysterious band of fighters. Every week they make the dangerous journey up Mt. Fate to a single wrestling ring where Fate determines who is worthy of being called Champion.
Superstars are numbered and Tag teams are numbered. Matches are made by drawing numbers. Each show will have four Men's matches, four Women's matches, and two Tag Team matches.
Once matches are made, dice will be rolled for each competitor. High number wins the match. In case of a tie roll again.
If the current Champion is wrestling, roll three rounds. The Champion must lose two out of three rounds to lose the title.
Once a Superstar or Tag Team has lost three matches they are removed from the roster. Another Superstar or Tag Team will replace them.
Note: We'll see how this goes. I'm expecting tweaks will need to be made. I'm also open to suggestions. I know this isn't a typical text fed, but I figured this was the best place to post it. My intention is for this to be a fantastical fed. Stories, determined by Fate won't necessarily be grounded in real life.
After you post a few shows I'll add you as active, and you can register your fed as well.

How will Brexit affect the UK property sector?
A recent panel discussion held by Octopus Property and a number of key industry figures spelled out the uncertainty facing the UK property market. Mario Berti considers some of the key points raised.
With five months to go until Britain is expected to leave the European Union (EU), jitters are spreading across the UK property market. Just a few weeks ago, the Bank of England Governor Mark Carney warned that house prices could crash by 35% should Britain leave the EU without securing a Brexit deal next March.
One leading residential developer told me that in the weekend after that announcement, property sales were the worst he'd seen in a decade. "Why would anyone buy property now, when they think their new home could collapse in value next spring?" he told me. "Why not wait until April or May to buy a bargain after we crash out of the EU?" It was hard to fault the logic.
Commercial concerns are growing
In the commercial property arena, consumer confidence is starting to undermine the performance of retailers, dragging down shop property values as a result. Central London office leasing decisions are being delayed and even the shining stars of the logistics world are fretting about how to cope with future restrictions on trade.
Having committed more than £3 billion of lending to the UK property sector over almost a decade, the team at Octopus Property wanted to give our customers the opportunity to explore the implications of Brexit.
So, we invited a number of participants to join us in thrashing out a 'London vs. the Regions in the Brexit era' debate.
Mario Berti addresses the audience at the London vs Regions panel discussion.
A lively panel of contributors
The panel included experts such as Mat Oakley, the Head of Commercial Research at Savills, and developers Nick Sellman of Birmingham-based Urban Village, Duncan Crook of Newbury-based Ressance and finance broker Rob Jupp from Brightstar, amongst many others, giving their views.
Several key themes emerged. First, there was a weary resignation that Brexit will happen, that a 'People's Vote' is unlikely and that the development and investment world now needs to roll up its sleeves and make the best of whatever deal the government manages to negotiate.
Most of the panel agreed that it was time to start looking ahead to life after Brexit.
Labour concerns
Next, the panel shared widespread concerns that property developers will be hampered by restrictions on labour after Britain leaves the EU. One attendee recalled that the day after the 2016 Referendum, many of his Eastern European workers did not turn up for work on one of his sites. They thought that they had already become excluded from working in the UK.
And third, there was a view that transactional activity will slow in the next five months as much of the property market adopts a 'wait-and-see' approach.
Bigger than Brexit?
But what also emerged was a view that Brexit is arguably a sideshow to some bigger issues affecting the property market right now.
The biggest takeaway of all was that property is now increasingly seen as 'late cycle', although there was still support for investment in urban logistics development, regional office refurbishment and retail property once values begin to fall steeply.
Our view at Octopus Property is that there continues to be a huge opportunity in the UK real estate sector, and that while the next six months will see borrowers becoming more discerning, the second half of 2019 could see a Brexit relief bounce.
Britain still open for business
Whatever the details of the Brexit deal, Britain will remain a great place to do business and will continue to be attractive to foreign investors. Chancellor Philip Hammond calls this a 'Deal Dividend', and there is some credence to the view that if Britain secures a 'Soft Brexit' the property sector's appetite for finance for development and investment will increase sharply once again.
What is also clear is that in the post-Brexit era, those capable of satisfying an increased appetite for property finance will not be the traditional lending institutions.
Beset by problems with their legacy branch networks, stifled by bureaucracy imposed in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis, suffering from tarnished brands and struggling to attract new talent, these behemoths struggle more and more to satisfy customers who value certainty of funding and service above all else.
Everyone who joined us for the debate is preparing for a big revolution in the property lending world in the Post-Brexit era. The next decade will belong to the disruptors.

As a chaplain to sea on a cruise liner, it is tradition also to supply the crew with Eucharistic services during the festive season. As most members of the crew are Filipinos I was asked to the service in English. After the first responses it became clear that the new English translation did not make it to the Philippines yet – nor was their English good enough to follow the complicated structure of the new English prayers. Latinised English did not do the trick and one could read on the faces of those attending that for them, all the prayers were spoken in a language not only not familiar, but not understandable. I am not sure the guys who did the translation did really consider those attending the Mass. Being closer to Latin means nothing to those wanting to understand their prayers, confusion does not mean more holiness during the service and this kind of translation is the second worse after the old Latin mass in the extra-ordinary form.
Reflecting over this at night I realized how often our church is speaking in a language not understandable to those meant to be addressed by the words. Jesus used simple words and examples to make his message understandable to those listening to him. Academic word constructions does not help the cause nor has it any long-lasting meaning – it obstructs the truth of the good message of God and hinders people to understand the unconditional love of God.
Traveling through some European countries again I sometimes reflect on the distances between people's understanding and imagination. Townships and life conditions of most South Africans are known to many in Germany only via TV, a view protected by glass and the possibility to switch it off when it comes to close. How does one bring the real colors, the smell, the atmosphere from one continent to the other?
Also the question of realities and how I name them is different and having the same vocabulary does not mean to understand each other. This is true when talking about people from different life environments, but even within my own circles I often experience that words can have so many different meanings and create so many different associations. What very often irritates me is that words are connected with judgement, with "good or bad" feelings, with "white or black" . The older I get the more I get irritated when descriptions are perceived as judgements and how often people take things much more personal than they are meant to be.
I guess, this all is important to reflect when traveling the world to bring people together and let them join hands, who are far away and maybe even never meet, but hear about each other. But this also important to reflect when working in international teams where people from different cultures and languages are working together. Also HOPE Cape Town has this kind of challenges, bringing together different South African cultures and adding the European spice. Quite a mixture, but I believe in diversity and I am sure that this challenge is also an asset because it forces us again and again to listen to each other and to learn from each other. A lifelong and never-ending learning curve – and at the same time a motor for development into the future.

In the United States, 6.9 million Americans are struggling to care for a loved one who lives in another city. Long-distance caregiving presents a unique set of challenges, many of which cause incredible amounts of stress and unexpected feelings of despair for the caregiver. Although every family is different, research shows the following to be the five main challenges long-distance family caregivers face.
• Is my parent's health at stake?
• Can the issue be resolved with a phone call?
• Will traveling to your parent's home provide a long-term solution or just temporary comfort?
Whatever the circumstances keeping you apart from your loved one, you likely feel resentment and guilt. While these emotions are natural, they are unproductive and self-destructive. Keeping in touch with your loved one on a regular basis is a vital way to combat these feelings. Having a trustworthy caregiver is also imperative. Using a homecare agency that offers ClearCare home care software is the best way to monitor your loved one's care and stay completely involved.
Long-distance caregivers often have trouble finding appropriate resources for their loved one. This is not only frustrating, but it can take up time you really don't have to spare. Knowing who and where you can turn to for help is essential. A local geriatric care manager can help you with decisions, but it's also critical that you keep close in touch with the supervisors from the homecare agency you've chosen. They will answer your questions regarding ClearCare's software and help you get the most out of their innovative services.
You may be a long-distance caregiver, but you are likely also a spouse, parent, and employee. You have numerous responsibilities – in addition to those related to caregiving. Feeling overwhelmed is natural – you've got a lot on your plate. But finding the right balance is essential. You won't be of any use to your aging parent, your family, or yourself if you burn out.
Reaching out for help is the only way you can maintain the proper balance between your personal life and your caregiving responsibilities. ClearCare's caregiver software allows you to check on your loved one's care at any time –and you also have the reassurance of knowing you'll be alerted if there is a problem. This confidence will lessen your anxiety and let you focus on your own life and family.
A chief complaint among long-distance caregivers is feeling they are not really a part of their loved one's care. You may wonder if your parent is being properly cared for, and if decisions regarding his care are the ones you would make. ClearCare's web-based technologies allow you to bridge the distance between you and your loved one, putting your doubts to rest.
When circumstances prevent you from personally overseeing the care of your loved one, it can be very comforting to know that there are homecare solutions available to monitor your relative's care. Even if you can't physically be there every day, ClearCare's homecare software makes it possible for you to feel as if you are.

Erwin Kremers (* 24. März 1949 in Mönchengladbach) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Fußballspieler.

Karriere
Kremers spielte als Stürmer von 1967 bis 1979 261-mal in der Fußball-Bundesliga für Borussia Mönchengladbach, Kickers Offenbach und FC Schalke 04 und erzielte insgesamt 61 Tore. Sein größter Erfolg war der Gewinn des DFB-Pokals 1970 mit Kickers Offenbach und 1972 mit Schalke 04. Ständiger Weggefährte war sein Zwillingsbruder Helmut, der ihn auf allen seinen Stationen als Fußballspieler begleitete. Sie waren die ersten Zwillinge in der Bundesliga.

Im Jahre 1972 wurde er mit der deutschen Fußballnationalmannschaft in Belgien Fußball-Europameister. Insgesamt bestritt Kremers zwischen 1972 und 1974 15 Länderspiele und erzielte dabei drei Treffer. Zusammen spielten die Zwillingsbrüder dreimal für die Nationalelf: 1973 in Hannover gegen Österreich (4:0) und in Gelsenkirchen gegen Frankreich (2:1) sowie 1974 gegen Ungarn beim 5:0-Sieg in Dortmund.

Nach der Karriere
Nach dem Karriereende zog sich Kremers vom Fußball zurück und wurde Geschäftsführer einer Kinderbekleidungsfirma in Gelsenkirchen. Inzwischen ist er Privatier und leitet den Schalker Golfkreis für soziale Zwecke. Für sein Engagement erhielt er im Dezember 2019 die Verdienstmedaille des Verdienstordens der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Im Juni 2009 strebte er einen Posten im Aufsichtsrat von Schalke 04 an, erhielt aber zu wenig Stimmen.

Kremers lebt in Haan.

Trivia
Seine Teilnahme an der Fußballweltmeisterschaft 1974, bei der Deutschland Weltmeister wurde, scheiterte an einem Platzverweis im letzten Ligaspiel vor der WM wegen einer spontanen Schiedsrichterbeleidigung. Kremers bezeichnete den Schiedsrichter in der 85. Spielminute nach einem klaren, aber nicht gegebenen Foulspiel als "blöde Sau", was der Schiedsrichter Max Klauser zweimal absichtlich "überhörte". Erst als Kremers "Noch einmal für Doofe: Sie sind eine blöde Sau!" sagte, blieb dem Schiedsrichter keine andere Wahl, als ihn des Platzes zu verweisen. Auch dem DFB blieb damals keine Wahl, als ihn nicht zur WM zu nominieren.

1973 erhielt Kremers in einer Leserwahl den Bronzenen Bravo Otto der Jugendzeitschrift BRAVO. Gemeinsam mit seinem Zwillingsbruder Helmut erreichte er 1974 als Die Kremers mit dem Titel Das Mädchen meiner Träume Platz 44 der deutschen Charts.

Kremers war mit seinem Tor zum 0:1 am 2. April 1976 der erste Torschütze in einem Spiel der 1. Bundesliga im Dortmunder Westfalenstadion, allerdings gegen den VfL Bochum, der wegen des Neubaus des Ruhrstadions dieses Spiel in Dortmund austrug.

Los Cinco pilares del Islam
The Final Sermon Of Last Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)
The False Prophet Of Qadyan
The founder of Qadianism was Mirza Gulam Ahmed Qadyani. He was born in 1839 in British India's province Punjab(Gurdas-Pur). His father's name was Gulam Murtaza, who was Samerqandi Mughal(Barlas) by cast and by profession he was publisher as well a farmer. He was also involved in Anti-Islamic movements which were led by British imperialism to demoralize Muslims from their mission(Jihad). He was loyal with British
imperialist for his official benefits and for financial favors. In 1857 he sent 50 militants with horses(cavalry) to help British imperialists when Islamic Freedom Fighter attacked for their freedom. After the death of Gulam Murtaza, his elder son Gulam Qadir was busy in Anti-islamic movement. His whole family were involved in Anti-islamic Movements and were loyal with British imperialism for their own selfish benefits. His family was responsible for blood shed of Muslim freedom fighters. At the time, independence movement started with force and Muslims were ahead in freedom movements to sacrifice themselves with the great passion. British rulers got curious by the passion and they were seeking for Islamic perfidious from their surroundings who were loyal with them and they found Mirza Ghulam who belonged to perfidious family. Mirza Ghulam openly declared his allegiance to the British imperialism. In 1901 when he claimed false prophethood, he also declared to his followers that" Obedience of British imperialism is Half of your Faith"
Academic Qualification
Mirza gulam qadyani was not academically qualified.
He wrote "I learnt the Quran and Persian books from my teacher Fazal Elahi and I learnt accidence and syntax from Ustad Fazal Ahmad."
(Kitab-ul-Barriah, P. 135)
After doing job in deputy commissioner's office as a peon for 4 years, he started helping his father. He got close with British Rulers and tried to help them. He also worked as a spy for good PR.
What was the faith of Mirza gulam qadyani before false claim of prophethood:
Mirza Gulam and his family were muslims by faith and were following islam before mirza's false claim of prophethood. Mirza was good reader of islamic books and also took part in Islamic debates frequently. He gained popularity with passage of time.

In 1879 he published the news that he was determined to write a book " Brahin-e-Ahmediya" in which he wished to write about facts and purity of Islam and contradictions of other religion. The series was supposed to be based on 50 volumes. At that time many muslim foundations offered him big amount of money and he took an advantage from muslims and islam. He took the money from them, but during 1880 to 1884 he wrote only four volumes and announced him as a revivalist "Mujadid". He proclaimed that God asked him to announce yourself as revivalist. He was always looking for fame and he had always flatterers around him. Muslims were in demoralize state in year 1857 after the defeat of freedom fight and were seeking for miraculous help from Allah. The European religious revolution was ready to arrive in India and there were doubts that maybe religious revolution try to damage Islam in India. He then claimed himself as Imam Mehdi.
The Beginning of false claimed of prophethood
Mirza's friend Hakeem-Noor-Uddin suggested to portray himself like spirit of Jesus and extend his followings because he knew that Muslims were in state of depression and hopelessness at that time and were praying for arrival of Imam Mehdi and Jesus(PBUH). Illiterate Muslims accepted Mirza as a holy soul of Jesus and started following him. Shortly after he felt that Muslims around him have believed him but now its time to take more advantage and he took one step toward to Befall of Jesus(pbuh) and claimed himself that he was Jesus. Actually Mirza had support from British Army to do these kind of blasphemy, British Army was threatened by freedom fighter and Mirza wanted to make a new religion and he wanted followers to follow him. Both British army and Mirza used each other. Question is, why didn't British army arrest him when he claimed himself Jesus because he did what they wanted.
All Muslims know that Jesus(pbuh) was born to Mary(RA) in a miraculous way. Mirza, on the other hand, Mirza was born to an Indian couple of Mongol descent. How could he have reconciled such differences?
Having tested the gullibility of his followers, Mirza and his associates came up with a story that Mirza had been converted to Mary and given birth to Jesus (himself)!
"God named me Mary in the third volume of Baraheen-e-Ahmadia (the book of "revelations" written by Mirza). I was nurtured for two years as Mary and was raised in a womanly seclusion. Then, the spirit of Jesus was breath into me just as was done with Mary. Hence, I was considered to be pregnant in a metaphorical manner. After a period of several months, not exceeding ten, I was made Jesus out of Mary by the revelation embodied in the last part of the fourth volume of Baraheen-e-Ahmadia; and thus, I became Jesus, son of Mary. But, God did not inform me of this secret at that time."
(Kashti-i-Nuh, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 19, P. 50; Kashti-i-Nuh, P. 46-47)
"I am nominated as Messiah, the son of Mary."
(Anjam Autham, P. 75; Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, P. 294, 339, 72)
Mirza Gulam Qadyani maintained his claim only for ten years after he took one more step ahead in his blasphemous adventure and claim himself as a Prophet. This time he abused Jesus(pbuh) and Mary and portrayed himself superior then Jesus(pbuh) .
He wrote,
"God sent His promised Messiah (Mirza), who is better than the first Messiah (Jesus) in all regards. I swear by God in whose hands my soul rests that if the Messiah, son of Mary, were my contemporary, he could not have done the works that I can do. Nor would he be able to match the signs (miracles) which I am bringing."
(Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 22, P. 152; Haqiqat-ul-Wahi, P. 148)
"Give up all mention of the son of Mary, because Ghulam Ahmad is superior to him."
After all he claimed himself as a Last Prophet
On 10th August 1901, during jummah prayers his friend Molawi Abdul Kareem gave a sermon in a mosque and pointed towards Mirza as a prophet. After prayers people started to condemn these words but in next jummah prayers Molawi repeated same words. People quarreled with Molawi but this time he took them to mirza gulam and asked him "if i am wrong then please correct me", Mirza Ghulam said to molawi that "you are at right path"
After this he started facing an open and strong opposition by Muslim Scholars and religious leaders for this blasphemous declaration and other teachings which belittled Jesus Christ (pbuh) and contradicted the Quranic revelations, he also announced that he was the second and improved coming of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) with authority to reinterpret the Holy Quran at his pleasure!
False prophesies of False Prophet
Mirza Ghulam Qadyani wrote:
"To Judge my truthfulness or lies, there is no better test than my prophecies."
(Roohany Khazaen, Vol. 19, P. 288)
Rains and earthquakes
Ghulam Ahmad wrote, "God revealed to me that frequent rains will come down. Due to their frequency villages will be destroyed. After them will follow severe earthquakes". He did not specify where and when. If it was to be in India, there are some regions which receive a lot of rain and there are other areas which feel earthquakes. This is not a prophecy.
Abdullah Atham's death
A Christian, Abdullah Atham entered into a debate with Mirza Ghulam Qadyani in 1893; neither of them succeeded in winning over the other. It was embarrassing to Mirza Ghulam Qadyani and he felt insulted, on June 5, 1883 he announced that he had been informed by God that Abdullah Atham would die within fifteen months, that is, September 5, 1894. Ghulam Ahmad supplicated to God for the death of Abdullah Atham by his announced date of death and he asked his followers to join him in praying for the curse to come true. The deadline came and went but Abdullah Atham lived and for a long time. Ghulam's invocations and supplications were of no use and Allah proved that he was not His prophet.
Multiple marriages
On February 20, 1886 Mirza Ghulam Qadyani declared that indeed Allah revealed to him that he shall marry blessed women and he shall have numerous children from these new wives. He was then 46 years old. The fact remains that he could not marry anyone after his declared revelation from Allah despite several efforts and a crush on Muhammadi Begum.
Marriage to Muhammadi Begum
Mirza Ghulam Qadyani at age 46 had a crush on a young lady by the name of Muhammadi Begum daughter of Ahmad Baig,. Mirza asked her father for his daughter's hand in marriage which he refused. Mirza Ghulam Qadyani announced a prophecy that she will be married to him because Allah had married her to him and no one had power to turn away from that becoming true. He offered bribes of estate and wealth to Ahmad Baig. When it did not work he begged for his pity, brought family pressure and finally made threats. The first prophecy of marriage to Muhammadi Begum failed.
Ahmad Baig did not budge from his position and married his daughter to an ordinary soldier. Mirza Ghulam Qadyani prophesied that the husband of Muhammadi Begum would die soon and she would be married to him since their marriage had taken place in the heavens. He fixed a three year period for the death of the soldier husband of his beloved lady. Twenty two years later Mirza Ghulam Qadyani died but the soldier lived for another forty years and she lived even longer. The second prophecy of marriage to Muhammadi Begum failed.
A spark of the light of God
A son was born to Mirza Ghulam Qadyani on June 14, 1899 when he was 59 years old. He gave him the name, Mubarak Ahmad and declared, "this lad is indeed a spark of the light of God, the promised reformer, the owner of greatness and authority, possessor of healing breath like the Messiah, curer of diseases, a word of God and lucky. He will become famous in the four corners of the world, he will set prisoners free and through him all nations will be blessed."
Allah had His plan to prove once again that Mirza Ghulam Qadyani was neither a prophet nor "the Promised Messiah" by showing that He did not reveal anything to him nor inspired him with anything nor chose him a prophet nor divinely guided him (Mehdi). Mubarak Ahmad died of natural causes at age 8 in 1907, less than a year before the death of the false prophet and the false messiah.
The birth of another son
When Mirza Gulam Qadyani's wife became pregnant, he announced on January 1, 1903, "Praise be to Allah Who bestowed upon me in spite of old age four sons and has given me good news of a fifth". On January 28, 1903 his wife delivered a daughter who died in infancy. This was first failed prophecy of a son.
His wife became pregnant again and he prophesied that she will deliver a son about whom he said, "the son of nobility will be born – a lad goodly-shaped and handsome." She delivered a baby girl on June 24, 1904. This was the second failed prophecy of a son.
Again a son
After two disappointments and proving himself to be a false prophet, he announced again that Allah had given him the news, "Verily, We give you tidings of a meek boy." He announced the date of the birth of the boy to be September 16, 1907 which was never fulfilled. This was the third false prophecy of a son.
In October 1907 he pronounced yet another revelation from Allah, "I shall soon bestow upon you a righteous boy" and his name was announced to be Yahya. Alas, the prophesied son never came and the false prophet Mirza Gulam Qadyani himself died on May 26, 1908. This was the fourth false prophecy of a son.
A son to one of his followers
Manzoor Muhammad, one of his followers, informed him that his wife was pregnant. Mirza Gulam Qadyani prophesied cautiously in stages that Manzoor's wife will deliver a boy from this pregnancy or from a later pregnancy and child's name will be "Bashir-ud-Dawla". After such safeguards in his prophecy he emphasized, "Manzoor Muhammad's wife shall not die unless she gives birth to this noble son and until his prophecy is fulfilled."
Manzoor Muhammad's wife delivered a baby girl and afterwards she never conceived and died without giving a boy. Doesn't it look like Mirza Gulam Qadyani was working against Allah's Will?
The plague
Mirza Gulam Qadyani feared plague very much and declared it to be one of his signs. He prophesied that the epidemic then ravaging in the Indian Province of Punjab will not enter his town of Qadiyan because it was the dwelling place of "God's prophet." God proved him a liar again. Plague spread in Qadiyan and in Mirza Gulam Qadyani's own house; his maid and a few of his followers died of plague.
Mirza Gulam Qadyani made unlimited count of false prophesies which is written in their and other books.
Death Of Mirza Gulam Qadyani
Gulam Qadayani was in Lahore at the home of Dr. Syed Muhammad Hussain (who was also his physician), when, on 26 May 1908, suffered from diarrhea and cholera.
For years he claimed himself as ,Mujaddid,Imam Mehdi,Soul of Jesus,Jesus,and Finally Prophet. He claimed himself more than 10 personalities and most powerful being in this world.
what he claimed in his Book?
"He is the truthful God who has sent His Apostle to Qadian. He shall protect and defend Qadian against plague even though it will be on the rampage for seventy years, for Qadian is the dwelling place of His Apostle and in this are signs for nations."
(Dafi-ul-Bala, P. 10-11)
He wrote his one of the last letter…
"Plague has not spared even our own house. The elderly Ghausan (an elderly woman) was afflicted by it. We expelled her from the house. Ustad Muhammad Din was also struck with plague. We turned him out too. Today, another woman who was visiting us and had come from Delhi was also struck with plague. I also fell seriously ill and I felt that between me and death were only a few seconds."
(Maktubat-i-Ahmadiyya, Vol 5, P. 115)
He suffered from diarrhea and Plague (cholera) and he didn't even had enough strength to go to toilet because of weakness. For his convenience his followers made disposable lavatory beside his bed. Once he stood up for lavatory and when he approached it suddenly fell down to his own feces and passed way. He was buried in Qadyan(India).

As Cloud IPOs Soar, Qualtrics Hopes to Be Next
by scceu December 30, 2020 09
Qualtrics filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission Monday, indicating its intention to go public at nearly twice the price
paid for the company just two years ago.
The decision to go public comes amid a frothy year for initial public offerings. IPOs for household names such as
(ticker: DASH) and
(ABNB) notched huge first-day gains, and, despite the Covid-19 pandemic, 2020 is set to be the biggest year for IPOs since 2014.
In going public, Qualtrics is hoping to benefit from some of the excitement. The IPO market has been particularly hot for cloud-based companies like Qualtrics, which makes customer survey software.
Shares of
(SNOW), a provider of cloud-based data warehousing software, have soared 153% since their September IPO.
Qualtrics' IPO plans aren't a surprise. The company first filed to go public two years ago, shortly before it was acquired by SAP (SAP) for $8 billion. This July, SAP said it planned to spin out the unit.
Qualtrics now seeks a valuation of roughly $12 billion to $14 billion, or $20 to $24 a share. It plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker XM. The company will still be controlled by SAP, according to the prospectus. SAP will hold all of the company's Class B stock.
Similar to the richly valued Snowflake, Qualtrics has logged substantial losses. Qualtrics recorded a net loss of $1 billion in 2019, though that appears to be on track to narrow in 2020—the company reported a net loss of $258 million for the first nine months of the year.
Sales rose to $550 million in the first nine months of the year, from $418.4 million in the same period in 2019.
The Provo, Utah-based company has 12,000 customers, including
(MSFT) and
General Electric (GE),
and more than 3,300 employees across the world. The business started in 2002 and recently hired Zig Serafin, a former Microsoft executive, to take the CEO job. Previously, the company was run by founder Ryan Smith, who serves as chairman.
In the IPO prospectus, Qualtrics said that Silver Lake would buy $550 million worth of stock as part of the offering. Silver Lake, a tech investing firm based in Silicon Valley, will buy about 15 million shares at $21.64. It will acquire the remaining shares at the IPO price, once it's established.

Morning Commute
I was halfway across the Ft. Pitt bridge today when all the lights for the tunnel lanes suddenly turned red. Luckily, the driver stopped his truck before smashing into the tunnel entrance, but he was only a few yards away and was going to have to wait for the police to block traffic in the right lane so he could back up and take the off-ramp for the West End Circle. Until then, right lane was stopped. Luckily, I was in the left lane. I tried to wait to let the first car behind the truck change lanes, but I don't think she understood yet what was going on.
For those of you not familiar with this bit of roadway ingenuity, the outbound (lower) deck of the Fort Pitt Bridge is four lanes wide. There are three on-ramps at the downtown (North) end, two from I376 (which ends here, currently), one from downtown, and one from I279. The South end has a two-lane off-ramp and an entrance to a two-lane tunnel. Ever been in the middle of bridge which is also a three-way merge and a two-way split? It's always entertaining.

Forensic Architecture. Courtesy of MUAC
In recent years the little-known research group Forensic Architecture began using novel research methods to undertake a series of investigations into human rights abuses. While providing crucial evidence for international courts and working with a wide range of activist groups, NGOs, Amnesty International and the UN, Forensic Architecture has not only shed new light on human rights violations and state crimes across the globe, it has also given rise to a new form of investigative practice, to which it has given its name.
The group uses architecture as a methodological device with which to investigate armed conflicts and environmental destruction, and to cross-reference multiple other evidence sources such as new media, remote sensing, material investigation and witness testimony.
This exhibition introduces the practice, outlining its origins, history, assumptions, potential and double binds. With these investigations and the critical texts that accompany them, Forensic Architecture examines how public truth is produced, technologically, architecturally and aesthetically; how it can be used to confront state propaganda and secrets; and how to expose newer forms of state violence.

An update on the Amey contract with Sheffield Council says around 70 per cent of the network has been upgraded but "there is still plenty to do".
An in-depth 3,500 word report into the PFI contract looks at how Amey is funded, the work which has been completed and what still needs doing.
The economic, environment and wellbeing scrutiny committee requested the update on the 25-year Streets Ahead contract and will discuss the report at a meeting on Wednesday.
Streets Ahead was created to address the declining condition of the city's roads and pavements.
Philip Beecroft, head of highway maintenance, says in the report: "Like many other councils, Sheffield had battled against a long period of budget cuts and the highway network had suffered as a result.
"To address this problem, the opportunity was taken to apply to central government for PFI credits.
Tree felling by Amey provoked huge protests but trees are not mentioned in this report in great depth.
"The issues related to the tree replacement works are well documented elsewhere but as a major issue in relation to Streets Ahead it is good to report that following extensive talks with campaign groups since October 2018, site work commenced in January 2019 on a compromise approach to retain more street trees.
The report details some of the improvements and says over 96,000 requests for street cleaning have been dealt with.
Old sodium street lighting has been replaced throughout the city with a modern LED system which has a longer life. Carbon emissions are now around 76 per cent lower than at the start of the contract.
More than 1,000 bridges and highway structures have been checked and improved; more than 3,300 drainage gullies have been replaced and 70 watercourse culverts have been improved to reduce flooding.
The report says around 70 per cent of the network has been upgraded but "there is still plenty to do".
"This equates to around 755 miles of roads and 1,490 miles of paths. The result is safer, smoother roads and a dramatic reduction in dangerous potholes by around 60 per cent since 2015.
"Plans for 2019 include surfacing 100 miles of road and 50 miles of footways. The lifespan of surfacing works means that some work carried out in the early years of the programme will need to be replaced again before the contract ends in 2037.

Geeks Gonna Geek
We are all things Marvel, Star Wars, DC and Gaming.
Who is Echo in Hawkeye?
Ian Goodwillie
The MCU has pretty much trained its fans to always expect the unexpected. That's certainly been the case with their Disney+ series so far. WandaVision swerved fans over and over again. And it was epic. This has already been the case with Hawkeye. This new series has already introduced some new MCU players. In addition to Kate Bishop, Echo has also made her debut.
Also known as Maya Lopez, Echo is a hero and Avenger. Bringing her into the MCU is a good call as she's deeply connected to a variety of existing characters. At the same time, her arrival heralds more than a few other potential changes. That includes the long-rumored return of a major villain who became a fan favorite a few years ago on the Marvel Netflix series Daredevil.
Echo in the comics
Born deaf, Maya Lopez has Indigenous heritage. She debuted in the pages of Daredevil in 1999 as part of a villainous plot against the Man Without Fear. She's better known for her resurgence in 2005 when she took the name and identity of Ronin. It was at this point that she became a full-fledged hero and an Avenger. Technically, Lopez carried the Ronin identity before Hawkeye did.
The name Echo was earned honestly. Lopez possesses photographic reflexes. This allows her to immediately mimic and utilize any physical action she sees. It means if she watches Daredevil fight, she can then fight exactly like Daredevil. If that seems familiar, that's because the Marvel villain known as Taskmaster has the same ability. He's just more annoying about it.
All of that being said, she cannot replicate anything that requires a superhuman ability. Echo can mimic Daredevil's fighting skills. She cannot mimic his enhanced senses or radar sense. Another of her favorite people to watch is Bullseye. His incredible skills as a marksman came from years of training and study, and are not superhuman in nature. Thanks to watching him, Echo is one of the few people in Marvel Comics who equals him in target practice.
Arriving in Hawkeye
Hawkeye (Marvel Studios)
The TV version of the character is mostly the same. Echo remains deaf and Indigenous. This actually makes her the second major deaf character in the MCU. Makkari from the recent MCU film Eternals was first, though only by a few weeks. While fans are only getting their earliest look at the new character in the most recent episode, there is another way she's similar to the comics.
When she made her comic book debut, Echo was a villain. She was more of a pawn of a much more dangerous villain but she was a villain nonetheless. In Hawkeye, Echo has started off her time in the MCU as a villain. But her transition to becoming a hero is already being foreshadowed. At the same time, something much, much worse for everyone else in the MCU may also be on the way.
Echo's uncle is coming
Kingpin in Netflix's Daredevil
Part of Echo's comic book debut was the death of her father, William Lopez. He was murdered by a notorious criminal, someone Maya regarded as an uncle. This man subsequently manipulated her into helping him in his war against Daredevil. He even went so far as to frame Daredevil for her father's murder. That man's name was Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin of Crime.
Vincent D'Onofrio absolutely blew minds as the Kingpin in the Marvel Netflix series Daredevil. It was a spot-on piece of casting that fans want to see continue in the MCU proper. Much like the speculated appearance of Mephisto, fans have been looking for hints of D'Onofrio returning as the Kingpin at every possible turn. In Hawkeye, there's a very real chance it's finally happening.
In Episode 3, Echo's uncle was mentioned along with a very imposing figure standing behind her. That is by no means a confirmation of the Kingpin's arrival in the MCU or that Vincent D'Onofrio will be playing the character. If they're not bringing the Kingpin in, the series producers are doing everything in their power to make people think that's what is happening. And if he is coming, Hawkeye and Hawkeye are going to need Echo's help on this one.

It is generally believed that some people are born with certain talents, for instance for sports or music, and others are not. However, it is sometimes claimed that any child can be taught to be a good sports person or a musician.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Some people, such as musicians, artists and sports persons, are born with talents; and others are not. Can hard work be a substitute for talent? Can any child be taught to be the greatest at something through hard work?
On the one hand, some people think that there is no substitute for talent, and hard work is nothing without talent. Indeed, one would rather have a great deal of talent and a little work than have a great deal of work and a little talent. With a certain talent at something specific, one can do easily what is difficult for others. In contrast, without talent, one has to work very hard against odds to do well. One who is talented touches it once in a while and can do much better than many others. That said, one's talent must be fully used, otherwise an unused talent has no advantage over someone who has no talent at all. If one has a talent and cannot use it, one has failed. Or, if one has a talent, and can use only half of it, one has partly failed. Only if one has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, one has gloriously succeeded and won a triumph that few others know.
On the other hand, it is argued by other people that hard work beats talent if talent does not work. Nothing is more inspiring than one with a little talent and a strong desire eventually becomes a champion by way of hard work. One must have an extraordinary desire to succeed, even if one has an ordinary talent. There is no such thing as a great talent without a strong desire in the first place because talent is never static but is always growing or dying. An unused talent is dying without a strong desire to succeed, and that is where hard work can beat talent. It is true that one who is talented and motivated is like one who has "wings"; nevertheless, it is also true that "practice makes perfect," which implies that good training is as important as talent.
To conclude, some individuals with great talents are more likely to achieve greatness than others who are not born with the same levels of talents. However, in many cases, hard work plus a strong desire could be a substitute for talents to a certain extent. Not all musicians, artists and sports persons are born with talents.

Q: Wrap C++ template class with boost python I am try to wrap a C++ template class with booth python. I get errors with the current wrapper. The program is basically for creating customized vector's and use it in python.
#include <boost/python.hpp>

template <class T> class allocator{
  public:
  T* allocate(size_t);
  void deallocate(T* , size_t);
  void construct(T*,T);
  void destroy(T*);
};

template <class T> class vec{

  typedef T* iterator;
  typedef const T* const_iterator;
  typedef size_t size_type;
  typedef T value_type;

  vec(){ create();  }
  explicit vec(size_type n, const T& t =T()){ create (n,t);}
  vec(const vec& v){ create(v.begin(),v.end());}
  vec& operator= (const vec&);

  ~vec(){uncreate;}

  T& operator[](size_type i){return data[i];}
  const T& operator[]( size_type i) const { return data[i];}

  void push_back(const T& t){
    if (avail==limit)
      grow();
    unchecked_append(t);
  }
  size_type size() const{return avail-data;}

  iterator begin () {return data;}
  const_iterator begin () const {return data;}

  iterator end () {return avail;}
  const_iterator end () const {return avail;}

  iterator data;
  iterator limit;
  iterator avail;

  void uninitialized_fill(T*, T*, const T&);
  T* uninitialized_copy(T*,T*,T*);

  void create();
  void create(size_type,const T&);
  void create (const_iterator, const_iterator);

};

// create
template <class T> void vec<T>:: create(){
  data = avail = limit = 0;
}

template <class T> void vec<T>::create(size_type n, const T& val){
  data =alloc.allocate(n);
  limit = avail = data + n;
  uninitialized_fill(data, limit, val);
}

template <class T>
void vec<T>::create(const_iterator i, const_iterator j){
  data =  alloc.allocate(j - i);
  limit = avail = uninitialized_copy(i,j, data);
}

//uncreate
template < class T> void vec<T>::uncreate(){
  if (data){
    iterator it = avail;
    while (it != data)
      alloc.destroy(--it);

    alloc.deallocate(data, limit - data);
  }
  data = limit =avail = 0;
}

  avail = new_avail;
  limit = data + new_size;
}

template <class T> void vec<T>::unchecked_append(const T& val){
  alloc.construct(avail++,val);
}

the Boost python wrap is as follows:
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(vbox_shmem_box_vec_ext)
{
  using namespace boost::python;
  class_<vec>("vec");
    .def("size",&std_item<vec>::size,
      return_value_policy<copy_non_const_reference>());
    .def("begin",&std_item<vec>::begin,
      return_value_policy<copy_non_const_reference>());
    .def("end",&std_item<vec>::end,
      return_value_policy<copy_non_const_reference>());
}

Here are the errors
vec_ext.cpp:113:13: error: type/value mismatch at argument 1 in template parameter list for 'template<class T, class X1, class X2, class X3> class boost::python::class_'

A: The easiest way for your task is to inherit from STL vector interface and use Boost Python vector_indexing_suite, otherwise you had to manually implement slice operations for Python interface that is not so fast and trivial.
But as for the original question Wrap C++ template class then I faced with the next problem when wrapped templates:
template<typename LinksT>
class Base {
public:
  virtual ~Base()  {}
  virtual Base* x() = 0;
};

template<typename LinksT>
class BaseWrap : public Base<LinksT>, public wrapper<Base<LinksT>> {
public:
  virtual Base<LinksT>* x() { return this->get_override("x")(); }
};

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(xxx)
{
    class_<BaseWrap<LinksT>, noncopyable>("Base", no_init)
      .def("x", pure_virtual(&Base<LinksT>::x), return_internal_reference<>())
      ;
}

fails to compile on GCC 4.8 under Linux, thought for direct classes it works fine:
class Base {
public:
  virtual ~Base()  {}
  virtual Base* x() = 0;
};

class BaseWrap : public Base, public wrapper<Base> {
public:
  virtual Base* x() { return this->get_override("x")(); }
};

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(xxx)
{
    class_<BaseWrap, noncopyable>("Base", no_init)
      .def("x", pure_virtual(&Base::x), return_internal_reference<>())
      ;
}

There were 2 issues:

*

*I had to specify -ftemplate-backtrace-limit=64 (default it's 10) compiler flag to allow instantiate more inner templates

*I had to instantiate template before the BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(xxx) declaration:

template class BaseWrap<SimpleLinks>;
BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(xxx)
{ ...

then it works fine.

A: You can also add another template for your class so that you don't have to write/instantiate for each int/float type.
template<typename LinksT>
class Base {
public:
  virtual ~Base()  {}
  virtual Base* x() = 0;
};

#include <boost/python.hpp>
using namespace boost::python;

template<typename LinksT>
class BaseWrap : public Base<LinksT>, public wrapper<Base<LinksT> > {
public:
  virtual Base<LinksT>* x() { return this->get_override("x")(); }
};

template<typename LinksT>
void export_virtualfunction()
{
    class_<BaseWrap<LinksT>, boost::noncopyable>("Base", no_init)
        .def("x", pure_virtual(&Base<LinksT>::x), return_internal_reference<>())
        ;
}

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(test_template_python)
{
    export_virtualfunction<int>();
}

Pay attention to different type of the exported class. Give different names to it. Refer to link

BALTIMORE � Jeremy Guthrie ran off the mound, then stepped down into the Orioles' dugout. On a cold, windy Wednesday night in downtown Baltimore his outing was over just 90 minutes after it began.
New York Yankees and his team trailing, 6-0.
"I am embarrassed by the way the game started and the way the game ended," said a downcast Guthrie, standing by his locker after the 8-3 loss to the Yankees. "I was behind on the count on almost every batter. I am frustrated by it."
Guthrie (0-3), who had pitched well in his first four starts, apologized to Oriole fans for his performance and to his teammates for forcing manager Dave Trembley to use his bullpen in the fifth inning. The O's fell to 4-17 overall.
After Guthrie left the game Hendrickson allowed an RBI single as the Yankees took a 7-1 lead. For the night Guthrie allowed seven runs (six earned) and six hits with four strikeouts and one walk. He threw 97 pitches, 54 for strikes in a game that began with the temperature at 55 degrees before 17,248 chilly fans.
Orioles manager Dave Trembley, whose job could be in jeopardy with the poor start, said of Guthrie: "I thought the first couple innings he was showing a different style, a different delivery for him. Probably the best that he pitched was in the third and the fourth, but in those first two innings I thought right out of the chute he was throwing from a lower arm slot and it didn't seem like that was comfortable for him."
Guthrie said after the game he was not aware that he threw with a different arm slot in the game and was not trying to change his approach. "I talked to (catcher Matt) Wieters in between innings and he thought he was just overthrowing, really trying to throw the ball as hard as he could," Trembley said. "I think after the second that's when he went back to throwing the way he had earlier in the year with much better mechanics, much better arm slot and obviously much better results."
and starting pitcher CC Sabathia (3-1), who got the win this time as he pitched into the eighth inning against the Birds.
"He made big pitches when he had to," Trembley said of Sabathia. "He made quality pitches."

down the first-base line past Garrett Atkins for a double.
Nick Johnson then hit a line drive single that got past left fielder Lou Montanez and allowed Jeter to score. Johnson barely beat the throw to second base.
Johnson advanced to third on a groundout by Yankee slugger Mark Teixeira for the first out. Alex Rodriguez then hit a sacrifice fly to left that made the score 2-0.
Guthrie got the third out as Cano lined out to center field.
sixth homer of the year, a solo shot with two outs off Guthrie.
"He is a great hitter. He is swinging the bat well for them," Guthrie said of Cano.
Guthrie, with a fastball clocked at 94 mph in the second, avoided more damage by fanning Johnson to end the second.
Guthrie, who turned 31 on April 8, entered Wednesday's game with a lifetime mark of 3-6 with an ERA of 4.92 in 11 career starts against the Yankees. The right-hander was 0-2, with a 3.46 ERA in his four previous starts this season and had gone at least six innings and allowed eight hits or fewer in each game.
But against the Yankees he had his first poor outing of 2010. Last season Guthrie was 10-17 with an ERA of 5.04 for the Orioles in 33 starts as he threw a career-high 200 innings.
the three-game series with New York on Thursday. But Wednesday was a throwback to last season, not his last start.
Said Trembley: "Well, you wouldn't want to draw it up getting behind 5-0 against Sabathia. That's a tough hill to climb."

"How are you?" Nadine Lustre asks even before that same question came out of my mouth.
I wasn't sure what to tell Nadine, a multifaceted artist practically everyone I know (my best friend, my friend, my friend's friend, my high school batchmate and my cousin) stan full-time—I knew my place in the Zoom interview was a make or break.
Wait, how was I? Ten seconds before she said those words, I was preoccupied with a couple of things: her PR team's reminders, my internet connection on the brink of death and the fact that I'm talking to Nadine. All of that, plus my interview questions, tried to scramble inside my head.
Meanwhile, Nadine is busy. "I'm good, sorry for the delay. We're still at a shoot," she tells me after I finally ask how life has been treating her. Clad in a black blazer, glossy makeup and soft curls, she apologizes once again like I was the one she caught up with mid-shoot.
Nadine could've said that life has treated her like a favorite. With a well-received filmography, multiple acting awards, active advocacy work and 24/7 endorsements in her catalog, she has now finally launched her highly anticipated debut album "Wildest Dreams."
Call it a huge leap from her previous pop-R&B motifs but her new sound's experimental layers now take the front seat. Instead of direct jabs and instant head-turning beats, this debut output hypnotizes us with slow burns and introspection that creeps into our subconscious eerily—surprising us with its own brand of thunder and lightning to boot.
This debut output hypnotizes us with slow burns and introspection that creeps into our subconscious eerily—surprising us with its own brand of thunder and lightning to boot.
"Your album marks some kind of metamorphosis—" she cuts me off out of excitement, two fists up in sync, "yes, yes!"
"I guess, as with growing pains with music, writing and producing, it's just the journey of the music and working on the music. Mas 'yun kaysa personal stuff," she says, explaining whether there was anything she found difficult to let go of while manifesting Nadine 2.0. The lockdown definitely gave her a chance to get up and work on her stuff, and plenty of room to weave new musical narratives.
Nadine could've said that life hasn't stopped for her. Or it's been nothing short of amazing. But instead, she ends with, "thank you, thank you so much."
It's easy to be intimidated by Nadine but that quick introduction alone already broke the ice. Throughout the conversation, I slowly saw her beyond what everyone—including me—initially perceive: a daunting force to reckon with and to root for.
The idea for "Wildest Dreams" started back in 2019. "But last year, it was really just me and my producer working on some stuff, so 'nung time na 'yun, hindi pa siya masyadong seryoso, it was just something that I wanted to try out," she says.
The "I'm falling / 'Cause I'm all in" lyric in her title track reflects the album's process—both technically and personally. "Ever since, I've always been insecure of my writing. I tried it before but I wasn't really successful, so I decided to put that aside and not touch it anymore kasi nga natakot talaga ako… na-disappoint talaga 'ko sa sarili 'ko that I couldn't write," she confesses. "Since then, I've just been intimidated—like when there's words or when it's about writing. I get scared."
"Ever since, I've always been insecure of my writing."
Fortunately, "Wildest Dreams" took off again in the last quarter of 2019. "I remember even messaging Mito/Curtismith and I told him 'yo, I have a concept in my head for the album but I'm not really sure if it's good or okay or what.'"
You could say that the finished album trumps the insecurities of the process, as it boasts a strong, confident declaration of transformation and underpins the self-realization needed to come full circle. If it were a person, it'd be adventurous—someone who "loves exploring and [who's] just in love with life," Nadine says.
This rings just as true for her wildest dream right now. "Travel the world, see the whole world, explore every corner, if possible." She wants the same experience as broadcaster David Attenborough, to be exact, as he's already seen everything. Compared with her other answers, this was the quickest one she gave. Clearly, she knows exactly what she wants right now and wants us to experience it, too through her music.
In Nadine's previous singles, it was obvious that she knew, too, what she wanted and it continues with the worthy "Wildest Dreams"—only this time, she's already carved her own niche in the industry.
If ["Wildest Dreams"] were a person, it'd be adventurous—someone who "loves exploring and [who's] just in love with life," Nadine says.
"That's true na I was given full creative freedom with this one, mainly because it's my album. So I was very lucky I have Bret, Haissam and James to help me out [with] this kasi nga, like what I said, hindi pa ako gano'n karunong when it comes to music and producing. They were there to kind of hold my hand," she says, never missing the chance to mention and credit Careless Manila's guidance.
Being locked in the studio for two weeks gave them the right headspace. With Careless producer Isagani Palabyab helping orchestrate the process, Nadine laid all her cards on the table and confidently influenced the collaboration. Ideas, lyrics and melodies were thrown around, a testament to Careless' highly collaborative nature. At times when Nadine wasn't in the room, the team made sure they consulted her immediately after. "They would ask me first like, 'Can you relate to this? Are you feeling the vibe?'"
I initially thought that her pauses were subtle signs of our limited time slot. But I didn't feel Nadine rushing her answers—in fact, she even brought up topics herself (she saw and laughed at Scout's meme) and was even generous enough to add backstories. For example, the origins of her song with James Reid, "Complicated Love," is a love letter to a "Breaking Bad" episode.
As her debut album takes off—setting itself as an eventual benchmark for artists like her—Nadine's name gets hammered into a sphere that's completely her own. Her vision casts off the constraints of the one-dimensional artista expectation. No wonder my best friend, my friend, my friend's friend, my high school batchmate and my cousin used Instagram Countdown stickers to anticipate Nadine's "Wildest Dreams" release. Honestly, I stayed up for that drop too. Maybe this is the future.
[Nadine's] vision casts off the constraints of the one-dimensional artista expectation.
Was this her wildest dream when she was younger? "I wanted to live in Japan and be a manga artist," Nadine reveals. "But my parents would tell me, 'pag may mga bisita kasi sa bahay, I would always put a cassette tape on and then play a song; perform in front of our guests. So I guess it's something that I've always loved doing: performing, singing and dancing." Now so sure of herself, we'll continue to witness Nadine's metamorphosis, whether we're ready or not.
In this conversation, Nadine broke the wrong spells—and I willingly fell under her own.

Court Acquitted The Former MP Musallam Al-Barrak
Category: Crime News
The Court of Appeals yesterday acquitted the former MP Musallam Al-Barrak of charges of insulting and offending the former Head of the Judiciary Committee Judge Faisal Al-Murshid. Previously, the Public Prosecution had charged Al-Barrak of offending Judge Al-Murshid, even though the defendant denied the charges, claiming irregularities in them. According to the case files, the Misdemeanor Court had fined Al-Barrak KD 150 for the charges leveled against him, which involved insults and defamation. However, the defense insisted that the prosecution did not submit any substantial evidence to back the claims.

More construction firms give for Christmas
CM Staff
Vinvi project manager Matt Legg and Judy Vickers outside the welfare buildings at New Victoria
Construction firms have continued to give generously at the end of what has been another challenging year for many people, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity and providing services like hot meals and toys for children.
Toys, food, and dressing up as elves: Construction gets charitable for Christmas
After Construction Manager, with the help of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), reported about the festive charitable efforts of several firms, more have come forward to reveal their own acts of giving:
Barratt Homes
Housebuilder Barratt Homes has raised a total of £200,000 for charities across Hampshire, Dorset, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight. In addition to its Community Fund scheme, which donates £1,000 to a different charity each month, Barratt raised more than £134,500 for the Saints Foundation in Southampton.
It also donated £15,000 to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), and £1,000 to Chichester homeless charity Stone Pillow. It also donated £11,000 to Mountbatten Hampshire hospice and £1,000 to sustainable charity the Final Straw Foundation.
BECT Building Contractors
Cardiff-based BECT Building Contractors has donated a collection of toys to the St David's Toy Appeal, which gives gifts to children in Wales. The toy appeal is running a donation stand in St David's Shopping Centre until 22 December.
Vinci Construction UK
Vinci Construction UK, developer Muse Developments and client Pension Insurance Corporation have offered Manchester homelessness charity Lifeshare a location for its Christmas Project at its New Victoria site, as well as funding for food and volunteers.
Lifeshare's Christmas Project has run for 34 years and offers homeless people and those in a crisis a place to find hot meals, companionship, medical and personal care, shower facilities, veterinary care and other amenities and aims to reduce isolation. The service was heavily cut down in 2020 and Lifeshare had been struggling to find a suitable location this year, from 23 to 29 December.
Matt Legg, Vinci's project manager for the New Victoria scheme, said: "We'd been chatting with Lifeshare since Vinci started on the New Victoria scheme – wondering how we could help a local-based service.
