SARS-COV-2 (CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019) OUTBREAK IN ITALY
Since its first outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly spread globally and was declared on March 11, 2020, as a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
In Italy, the outbreak is particularly worrisome, with 17,660 confirmed cases and 1268 deaths as of March 14, 2020, representing 12.4% of all cases and 23.5% of all fatalities related to the disease worldwide and accounting for 52.3% of cases and 85.2% of deaths in Europe.1 Lombardy is the more seriously affected region, accounting for 65.7% of cases and 70.3% of deaths in Italy.1,2 Lombardy is regarded to have one of the most advanced health systems nationally, being considered a model to follow for its efficiency and quality of care. Indeed, COVID-19 is seriously challenging authorities' ability to respond to the current crisis. The rapid evolution of the present situation calls for prompt awareness of the international community, and, in this sense, Italy can serve as an example to plan for adequate measures to be taken.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 BEYOND THE VIRAL INFECTION
The actual impact of COVID-19 goes far beyond the viral infection itself and the associated complications; rather, it profoundly affects the entire health system and patients, including those who are not infected. This is much more relevant for patients needing timely treatment, including patients with cancer. Liang et al3 were the first to assess the impact of COVID-19 on patients with cancer in China. They found that 1.00% of those infected had a personal history of cancer, higher than that of Chinese population (0.29%), lung cancer being the most frequently found; moreover, patients with a history of cancer seemed to have a higher risk of severe events. Such information should indeed raise concerns, but it only represents one side of the coin for this group of patients. Wang and Zhang4 did not attribute the increased risk to cancer itself, and they pointed out that other aspects are probably even more relevant in patients with cancer, namely the inability to receive the necessary medical and especially surgical care.
Under this light, the burden of the infection starts to show its actual magnitude. The authors of this Viewpoint have expertise in colorectal cancer surgery. In this emergency setting, people are being asked to stay home for longer periods. This carries the potential risk that postponing specialty outpatient visits, screening, oncologic follow-up, and advanced diagnostics like endoscopy could result in several months of diagnostic delay. Furthermore, hospitals of affected areas have had to reallocate resources for the epidemic, and appointments for patients with colorectal cancer are being postponed because of the overwhelming number of patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care units.
HOW COVID-19 IS IMPACTING PATIENTS WITH COLORECTAL CANCER AND QUALITY OF CARE
In patients with colorectal cancer, 3- to 10-year survival is lower if treatment is started >90 days from diagnosis,5 and similar data are reported for other cancers. The ideal time of resection of colon cancer specifically has been estimated to be between 3 and 6 weeks from diagnosis,6 which is unlikely to be achieved during COVID-19 outbreak. The effects of this can only be guessed, but the huge impact on quality of care might result in a deterioration of midterm and long-term results of cancer treatment. Clinical trials are gasping, and the results of ongoing studies are likely to be jeopardized. With mobility restrictions, blood units are lacking, making treatment even more challenging. Of note, a recent analysis from Northern America suggested that increased waiting times to treatment were associated with increased costs of care.7 Although this might not be perceived as a priority in the current emergency situation, it should indeed be considered, because resource reallocation might be necessary after the crisis has been controlled.
Under such circumstances, priorities and indicators of quality standards need to be reset and adapted. Strict social measures were taken in Lombardy and in Italy to face the current situation.8,9 Regarding cancer care, possible measures to be discussed include alternative treatment to radical surgery in very early stage cancer or in very advanced disease, as well as centralization of patients likely to need postoperative stays in intensive care units in few tertiary care hospitals.
WHAT THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES CAN EXPECT BASED ON THE ITALIAN EXPERIENCE
Italy got hit as first among Western countries, and the Italian experience may represent an opportunity for the United States and other countries to put in place timely measures to decrease the potentially devastating effect of the healthcare crisis on other groups of patients with time-dependent disease, such as cancer.
However, even if numbers from the United States may not seem to be worrisome at first, it is likely that the same logarithmic increase in people affected will occur. According to a recent analysis of the Johns Hopkins Institute published in the Financial Times, all countries affected so far may fall above a curve of a 33% increase in cases after the 100th case is registered.10 The change of the increase trend is visually apparent, comparing the progression of the infection between the first and the 100th case registered (Fig. 1A) versus from the 100th case onward (Fig. 1B).
FIGURE 1.:
A. Number of cases detected according to the day of diagnosis of the first case, until the 100th case was diagnosed. B. Number of cases detected over the days following the diagnosis of the 100th case. All countries included fell above the 33% daily increase10 (data from World Health Organisation).1
More alarmingly, the actual incidence is difficult to accurate estimate, because the policy of testing varies greatly among international countries.11,12 Therefore, the 1678 cases and 41 deaths in the United States1 identified at the time when the present piece is being written might have underestimated the actual incidence of the infection in that particular area, despite the status of national emergency that has been declared by the US government.12
But how many patients with colorectal cancer would this affect in United States? According to the American Cancer Society, in 2020 there will be an estimated 147,950 new colorectal cancers in the United States, with ≈40% with localized disease.13 It would mean that ≈24,650 patients could be affected in 2 months of epidemic in the United States alone, of whom ≈9860 have localized disease. These figures warrant a prompt and joint global effort to reduce the potentially catastrophic impact of a COVID-19 pandemic even on patients with cancer, for which the Italian experience could be considered.

"Accordingly, Pakistan's unanimous national response reflected the same sentiments", ISPR quoted the army chief as having told US Centcom Commander General Joseph Votel and a US senator who called Gen Bajwa over the week to discuss Pak-US security cooperation following President Donald Trump's tweet. It added that Bajwa told Votel Pakistan was fully aware of the USA concerns regarding activities of Afghan nationals in Pakistan and is already undertaking several operations against militants.
Trump, in a New Year tweet, said that the United States had foolishly given Pakistan $33 billion in aid over 15 years and was rewarded with "nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools".
Aizaz said the message by the U.S. leadership has not gone well with Pakistan and its people and President Trump's tweet was rather a surprise for all. The ISPR statement is therefore considered to be aimed at quelling the speculations.
Possibility of a unilateral action by the USA was key concern in Islamabad, especially after a Pentagon report on Afghanistan last month mentioned "unilateral steps in areas of divergence".
For his part Bajwa told Votel that the "entire Pakistani nation felt betrayed" over the USA statements, but insisted Pakistan would continue to support peace efforts in the region despite being made a "scapegoat".
Dr Faisal said Islamabad has also apprised Washington to help resolve the matter of Afghan refugees. COAS said that Pakistan shall continue its honest counter terrorism efforts even without United States financial support in accordance with our national interest and shall remain committed to bring it to its logical conclusion along with other stake holders.
"We value mutual understanding of interests and concerns that we need to consider that might lead to a positive path forward", Thomas said.
During the call, Votel told Bajwa that Washington is concerned about Afghans using Pakistan as a staging ground for attacks against the U.S. inside Afghanistan.
In Washington, a senior State Department official expressed hope that the two countries would come to terms and that Pakistan would meet US requests for the handover of captured terrorism suspects.
He also said the U.S. is not planning any action inside Pakistan but is seeking cooperation to recover terrorists who, according to the USA view, are using Pakistan's soil against Kabul.
Gen Bajwa also communicated Pakistan's expectations from the USA, which included making Afghanistan agree to border control management and recognition of Pakistan's sacrifices in the fight against terrorism.
Pakistan, General Bajwa maintained, is also strengthening border controls unilaterally but if Afghanistan genuinely feels affected from Pakistan, bilateral border management must be Kabul's top priority as well.
KPD said if Wilson isn't apprehended by Friday morning, they're considering putting out what is known as a Blue Alert . He was added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's top 10 most wanted fugitives list shortly before 10am.
Jubilee party leaders Vice-Chairman David Murathe and Secretary-General Raphael Tuju accompanied President Kenyatta at the dinner. Former ANC President Jacob Zuma has been booed by party members at the ANC's 106th birthday celebration in The Eastern Cape.
Is Walmart Laying Off 100000 Employees and Closing 250 Sam's Club Stores?
Some customer demanded to be refunded for their memberships to the club, which cost from $45 to $100 per year. But right now, she has just three. "Saving time is as important as saving money".
At the beginning of the National Football League season, the Kansas City Chiefs were ranked with this season's most elite teams. The offensive line has to have its most productive game and the receivers have to hold on to the football.
It is glorifying terrorism, you are playing with fire... "He should talk to separatists and militants in Kashmir too", he said.
Most large technology shares also rose, with Apple, Amazon, Google-parent Alphabet and Microsoft all winning one percent or more. USA stock indexes on Friday closed out what has been a stellar start to a calendar year for equity trading.
Virgin Islands for disaster assistance following the devastation to the region from hurricanes Irma and Maria in September. He says historically, they give 1,500 IV bags a day, and that's not including basic replacement fluid for patients.
And it's a lot like when Facebook published a set of " core values " that year to emphasise that "friends and family come first". Many of these businesses will be affected by the new measure. "But those are the people who want to see ads".
Fire officials in California say the Thomas Fire , the largest wildfire in California's history, is now 100 percent contained. The Thomas Fire put a cap on what was the costliest year for wildfires in USA history, with $10 billion in damage.

Connecting global events into

The Tower of Freedom
By Andrej Mrevlje | June 9, 2017 2:01 pm
Photo: Andrej Mrevlje
Above is a photograph of Manhattan taken from the 64th floor, the sky lobby, of the new One World Trade Center. The tower replaces the twin towers that crumbled on 9/11/2001. Ground zero of the attack took 15 years and a lot of money to rebuild. The entire area surrounding the new tower, encompassing the National September 11th Memorial and Museum and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, hasn't been popularly named yet. In hope that space might replace horrifying memories of the tragedy with a revived purpose, the area just kept the old name, that is The World Trade Center.
But nothing is old in that completely rebuilt area of downtown Manhattan, the only part of a bursting city that showed futuristic modernity intertwined with wealth, security, and technology. Since the area needed to be rebuilt from scratch, literally, humanity had a chance to be creative while proposing the model for future urban life. And the future, at least to me, looks fascinating yet cold at the same time. It also looks to me like a remote deja-vu of the images stolen from The Truman Show, science fiction movie. But New York has always been a movie scene, and ground zero will not be any different.
The main building, One World Trade Center –which during the construction had a more popular and inspiring name, the Freedom Tower– has 104 floors and dominates the Manhattan skyline. Sleek and glossy from afar, it is not much different from the vertiginous towers in any of the modern cities in Asia, the building instilling respect as you approach it. The atmosphere changes as you get closer to the area; one feels he has stepped through some sort of invisible security door, entered into the space where only selected and scanned people are allowed to go. Indeed, the nearby Transportation Hub building rarely feels crowded and smelly, the signature of New York relics like the Times Square subway station. It's rather a huge cathedral that is built to make people feel small, and though there is nothing wrong with this historic symbolism, the emptiness, continuing with your every step, makes you feel acutely the contrast between this and the outside world. It dictates its own awesome impression.
Every entrance to each building within this area seems to separate the city by some invisible demarcation line, packed with security, leaving you feeling more scanned than served in every bar or restaurant you enter. An absurd, dystopian sensation. Is it because the area is still unfinished and underpopulated, with many offices still empty? Or was it the intention? The only idling crowd you can see within the area are the people lined up outside the Freedom Tower. They paid almost $60 climb to the One World Trade Observatory and enjoy the view of Manhattan. Everybody else scurries along, past each other, in indistinguishable blurs.
It was noon when I entered the building and the lobby and, as you can see, it was empty. Another scene from the movie. I was immediately asked not to take photos. The only way to enter the building and see it from the inside is to set an appointment with a person who works in the building, who will have to come down to collect you. But even the movements of the people who work in the building are limited by their ID's, programmed only for specific elevators, floors and spaces. I could not see the possibility of somebody hacking their way to the 64th floor of this fortress.
Once in the sky lobby, the city remotely stirring below you, an endless fascination sets in. "There is so much freedom from this place, it flows like water," a friend tells me as we walk all around the floor watching the city stretch before us in 360 degrees. It is endless, and it is beautiful; it is silent and privileged in a way that compels you to leave your earthly worries somewhere outside, somewhere below. There are very few people on the viewing floor and the peonies (my favorite) at the reception are fresh every day, both creating a sense of religion in the space, a solemn grandness that makes one feel he is a part of something important. I felt that my mind, after being there a bit more than an hour, switched to a distant, unknown me. And I wondered how Donald Trump must have felt, when he was living high up in his golden tower, for many long years.

Meade sent me their new LED Headlamp. This Headlamp has a bright white LED and two red LEDs. It has an adjustable elastic strap and comes with 3 AAA batteries and instructions.
If you do not wear a cap at night then access the buttons on the Headlamp will be easy. Wearing a billed cap (like I do on warmer nights) can prevent easy access to the buttons unless you wear the cap backwards (which I do when looking through an eyepiece) or tilt the cap back. Wearing a knit cap (as I do on winter nights) provides easy access to the buttons.
The Meade Headlamp is useful when you need to use both hands to do something, such as mounting a camera on a tripod, connecting wires, looking up something on a chart, and writing notes. I have frequently done these things with a red flashlight held in my mouth. The Headlamp avoids the need to do that.
I used the Headlamp with the red LED frequently in my observatory and found it very handy. The buttons at the top of the Headlamp are large and easily used. Multiple presses cycle through on, dim (white only), flash, off. Both lights can be illuminated at the same time. Remembering that "Right is Red" helps to remind you to not press the wrong button at night. Using a large diameter eyepiece or placing your eye to a camera viewfinder will likely require the Headlamp to be high on your forehead. The only times I switched to using a handheld red flashlight was when a shadow from the Headlamp made something difficult to see.
The red LED provides adequate illumination for walking at a dark site. The white LED (bright or dim) can be used when you (and people near you) do not need to maintain eye dark adaptation and is useful when details need to seen when working on something. One night when I was at the observatory I was harassed by some Javelinas (wild pig, a protected species in Arizona). Using the bright white LED I could see them when they were quite a distance away from me. I did not use the light when they were close to me as I didn't want to spook them.
I have frequently seen other amateur astronomers at star parties using headlamps. I had never realized just how nice they can be until I experienced it using the Meade Headlamp. I do wish the red LED had a dim mode instead of the flashing mode (which seems odd for an astronomer's light). At my dark sky site the red LEDs are not too bright (so no need to place red lens tape over the LEDs), but having a dimmer red light at times would be nice.
The Headlamp can also be used as a reading light, work light, or safety light during electrical power outages. Don't think of this light for use just at the telescope.
The Meade Headlamp is definitely priced right at $13 and mine will get a lot of use.

Windows Phone 7 Rumors: Zune HD Inspired Interface, No Multitasking
Kyle VanHemert
PPCGeeks is offering up a whole bevy of rumors regarding Windows Mobile 7 and what will be revealed at MWC next week. What they're referring to as Windows Phone 7 has a Zune-like interface and Xbox integration but no multitasking.
PPCGeeks and Mobile Tech World claim that Windows Mobile 7 will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress, though it will be announced under the new name Windows Phone 7 and the presentation will focus on the user interface without offering too much detail on specific functionality. Here's a breakdown of what PPCGeeks and Mobile Tech World have heard:
The UI goes by the codename Metro and is heavily influenced by that of the Zune HD. The interface has been described as "clean," "soulful," and "alive," and offers a fully reimagined Start page. Third party UIs like HTC's Sense will no longer be supported. Windows Phone 7 will ditch Windows Mobile Device Center in favor of Zune's syncing software, and will offer integration with social media networks, Zune devices, and Xboxes, including friends, gamer tags, achievements and the like.
Apps will only be able to be installed via the Marketplace, which supports an API as well as a try before you buy system. Flash will not be supported initially. Windows Phone 7 also won't offer multitasking, though apps will be able to receive push notifications while paused in the background. WP7 will also reportedly lack NETCF backwards compatibility.
MobileTechWorld's report includes the tidbit that the browsing experience is faster than that of the iPhone 3G, and that Microsoft believes that Windows Phone 7 devices will roll out by September though they themselves won't manufacture any of them.
With all the rumors surrounding Windows Mobile 7, there's no telling if this particular batch will hold water. But with MWC just around the corner, it's definitely possible that this could contain some nuggets of truth. Hopefully it's just not the no-multitasking nugget.

Chamoson – Chippis: Federal Administrative Court has rejected the appeal
16 December 2016 | News
The Federal Administrative Court (FAC) has rejected the appeal against the decision to approve construction plans, passed on 19 January 2015 by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy. In its judgement of December, 14, 2016, the Swiss Federal Administrative Court backed the measures aimed at optimising noise pollution and electrical losses, which had been approved by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) as part of its approval of plans for construction of the new Chamoson – Chippis 380 kV overhead line.
In 2010, the SFOE had already approved the plans to construct the new Chamoson – Chippis 380 kV line, but appeals were subsequently submitted to the FAC, which backed the line as an overhead line, but demanded an additional study into reducing noise emissions and energy losses. The Federal Supreme Court then backed the FAC's decision. On the basis of this additional study, on 19 January 2015 the SFOE approved the plans for construction of the new Chamoson – Chippis 380 kV line with a three-conductor system, which enables a significant reduction in noise pollution and electrical losses.
The new 380 kV Chamoson – Chippis line is part of the strategic planning for Swissgrid's grid (2025 Strategic Grid) addressing the future requirements of the transport network as projected by the Government's 2050 energy strategy, which includes a total nuclear phaseout. Other projects to reinforce and expand the electrical grid have been planned in this context in Valais, including adapting the Chippis – Bickigen line from 220 kV to 380 kV. These two projects are necessary to transport and to make use of the energy produced by the canton's major hydroelectric installations.

Full details of Quarter Finals, Semi-Finals, and, of course, the Finals, will be entered on this page as soon after they are played as possible.
This match had an unusual nature to it, inasmuch as the Higham Ferrers ladies could win only 2 of the first 11 ends, at which point they were 3-17 shots adrift with just 10 ends left, and this was not helped by the Abington quartet picking up a 6 on the 6th end. The Higham ladies, however, did not give up, and they showed terrific resilience in winning the next 8 ends, and scoring 15 shots into the bargain to take a 1 shot lead at 18-17. Unfortunately for them it was not sustained and Abington won the last 2 ends to take the victory.
In this match the Burton Latimer ladies, from being 2 shots each after 4 ends, scored 12 shots without reply over the next 6 ends for a 14-2 lead. After dropping a count of 2, Tina and her rink collected 3 more to lead 17-4, and although Sue and her ladies won the next 2 ends and reduced the arrears to 10, when Tina won ends 16 & 17 and had a 20-7 lead, the St Crispin ladies shook hands and conceded.
There is not much one can say about this match, other than Desborough BC ladies were just overwhelmingly strong and the Abbey Park ladies could not live with it. Rebecca and her team were relentless after dropping 1 shot on the first end, and in the next 8 ends they posted 24 shots, including 2 counts of 5, for a massive lead, and with the score 29-2 with 12 ends of the scheduled 21 played, Abbey Park conceded.
In this match one could not foresee what was to happen at 4 ends played for the score was 2 shots to each quartet, and after 7 ends the lead for Wellingborough was only 5-3, but the next 4 ends saw Jan and her team collect 9 shots without reply, and after dropping 1 shot, they went on to pick up another 9 shots on the next 2 ends, including a massive count of 7 shots. The lead at 14 ends was 23-4 and after an exchange of single shots, the Roade rink conceded after 16 ends played.
This was a closely fought match with firstly Wellingborough taking a lead at 6 ends of 8-2, and then Abington immediately fighting back with 8 shots, including a count of 5, to take the lead at 10-8 after 9 ends. Jan's rink then retook the lead 12-10 after 12 ends, until once more Debbie's ladies went into the lead 15-12 after 14 ends. It was no surprise that the scores were level on 15 each with 5 ends to go, and then with 2 ends left to play Wellingborough got ahead yet again at 18-17. The 20th end saw Wellingborough collect 1 shot for a 2 shots lead playing the last end. As that last end was being played, it looked as though an extra end might be required with Abington holding shot and Debbie needing another for 2, but she narrowly missed and had to settle for the single shot defeat.
The Burton Latimer rink started the better in this match and after 8 ends of play had managed a decent lead at 12-2 shots, and 3 ends later it was still 10 shots to the good at 15-5. The next 6 ends, however, showed that Rebecca and team were still dangerous for they picked up 9 shots to 3 conceded, to get to within 4 shots of Tina's rink, at 14-18. An exchange of singles saw that 4 shot difference remain with 2 ends left to play, and with some excellent draw bowling by all, but especially the Burton Latimer ladies, Burton won those ends for a very good victory.
Well done to the winners for this not only puts them into the County Final to be held later in the season, but it also qualifies them for the National Championships at Royal Leamington Spa in August, 2018.
QUARTER FINALS – played at Kingsthorpe BC on the morning of Sunday, 10th June, 2018.
A match in which the Finedon trio were on the back foot entirely for the first half as the Roade ladies posted 14 shots without loss, and after picking up 3 shots themselves on the next 2 ends, by the 14th end they were 3-17 down with 4 ends of the scheduled 18 to play. After collecting a single, the Joan and her ladies picked up 4 more shots for a 21-4 lead, but Finedon carried on and scored a 2 on the last end.
The Burton Latimer ladies started the better, and after 5 ends of play had a 9-1 shots lead, but the Kingsthorpe ladies were not yet ready to accept defeat for they outscored their opponents over the next 8 ends to get within 1 shot at 11-12 down. A 3 and a 1 on the next 2 ends gave Tina and her ladies a 5 shots lead with 3 ends left, and with those 3 ends going 3-1 in their favour the victory was theirs.
In this match the Desborough ladies, who have seen much success in recent years, started very well in posting a 5-2 shots lead after 4 ends, and a 12-3 advantage after 3 more ends. This lead extended to 20-9 after 13 ends, and when Rebecca and her ladies scored successive 4's and a 2 to reach 30 shots, Debbie and her team conceded after 16 ends of play.
A match in which the Kettering Lodge ladies started very well, collecting 9 shots on the first 3 ends of play, and an exchange of 3's put Sian and ladies on 12 shots to 3 after 5 ends. At the halfway stage the Lodge ladies held a decent lead at 14-6, but they were then kept on that 14 for 5 ends, during which Karon and her team scored 6 shots to reduce their deficit to just 2 shots, and after 16 ends of play they were still just 3 shots adrift. Disaster then struck the Geddington trio for the Lodge almost scored a 'Hot Shots' maximum of 9 shots, but happily settled for an 8 count, which clearly cemented their victory.
SEMI-FINALS –played at Kingsthorpe on the afternoon of Sunday, 10th June, 2018.
The ladies from Desborough were in stunning form against the unfortunate ladies from Roade, and after 4 ends they had a 9-0 lead, and after the single by Roade on the 5th end, Rebecca and her ladies really went on the rampage in scoring 19 shots on the next 6 ends, including a massive count of 8 shots on the 10th end, just 1 short of a 'Hot Shots' score, to lead 28-1 with 7 ends to play. Joan and her team collected their second shot on the 12th end, but in dropping 4 more shots they called it a day with 4 ends left.
Congratulations to the winners, who will now play in the County Finals, but more importantly who will represent the County at the National Championships at Royal Leamington Spa in August, 2018.

Paarl Historic Walk
Date: August 21, 2019 | Posted in Galleries & Museums | Sightseeing | Tourism | Tourist Attractions
Paarl is the third oldest town in South Africa and its rich history is reflected in the buildings, many of them National Monuments, found along a stretch of the Main Road just under 2km long.
Many of these old buildings have in recent years been renovated and converted into businesses, but just as many are still homes. Any conversions to old building have to be cleared by the Paarl Aesthetic Society and this serves to protect the unique character of Paarl's historic Main Road.
The Paarl Main Road houses many restaurants, coffee shops and pubs and these are perfect places to stop and experience the hospitality that Paarl is known for.
Remember to look left and right into all the side streets. You will be pleasantly surprised!
Walking North down the Main Road, starting from Brug Street, you're first met with a line of Georgian style buildings on the left.
Just past this row on the left is the historic Het Gesticht church, built in 1812 as place of worship for slaves in the area.
Carrying on along the Main Road one comes to the Oude Paarl Boutique Hotel, housed in two national monument buildings dating back to the 18th century.
Across the road is Klein Vredenburg Guest House, a Cape Dutch inspired Georgian building dating back to 1812.
Walking further along the Main Road, you'll come to the Strooidakkerk (Thatch Roof Curch), built in 1804 and still the oldest church in use in South Africa. It was after the establishment of this church that the town of Paarl began to grow in earnest. In the adjacent churchyard, one can find the biggest collection of gabled burial vaults in the Western Cape.
Across the road is the Pastorie, and whereas it may look old, it was only built in 1965, albeit with a replica of the original facade.
Further up the road is Zederberg Plein, which housed a small park and a row of Victorian Style houses, many of which were converted from Cape Dutch Style to suit the fashion of the time.
Carrying on up the Main Road about 150 metres and you will come to the Press Building on the right hand side of the road. Described as Dutch Renaissance Revival, it is one of the more unique buildings in Paarl, with its distinctive paint work and turrets.
Just past the Press Building is Cafe Juno, housed in an old Cape Dutch Style building with a thatched roof. This is a great place to have something to eat, have a glass of wine or one of their German beers.
Next door to Cafe Juno is the Zomerlust Guest House, the building itself having strong ties to the Paarl Brandy industry. At the rear of the building is a garden in which the Kontreihuis Restaurant is situated.
Die Kraan Lady's Bar is inside the Zomerlust building and the name alludes to a legend that in earlier years, a tap ran from the Brandy Distillery across the road into the bar.
No doubt a favourite of the guests.
Across the road is Huis Vergenoegd, built in 1899, it is today an old age home.
On the other side of the street is the beautiful Victorian Cross Building which houses Kikka, a very popular restaurant where people can enjoy their meals while sitting on the pavement.
Neigbouring the Cross Building is Huis Wenhold, which was previously known as the Zuidmeer building. This building was in its time home to wagon makers, various tailors, a dental surgery and a kindergarten. Today it houses a deli, accountants, a ceramics studio and two flats.
On the opposite side of Patriot Street is the Patriot Building which played an important role in the development of Afrikaans.
Next to the Patriot Building a new Post Office, with prison cells, was built in the early 20th century.
About 100m down the road, on the left is Paarl's Anglican Church.
Just on the other side of Market Street, on the left is Paarl's Town hall. It was built in 1928 from granite mined from local quarries. It was painted white to contrast with the dark mountain behind it.
Further down the Main Road on the right one comes to probably the most well known Art Deco building in Paarl, the Protea. It was built in 1939 and served as Paarl's only cinema for many years. Today it is a church.
Passing the hardware store and dentists offices on the right, one comes to one of Paarl's more interesting buildings, Dwars-in-die-Weg, which straddles Main Street and Pastorie Avenue. It was built in 1946 and has recently been converted and renovated to have a more contemporary look.
Places to have a light refreshment at Dwars-in-die-Weg include Die Eethuis restaurant or Bean in Love coffeeshop, which is housed in what was once a cane furniture factory, dating back to the 1800s.
If one follows the road about 150m further, one comes to the Gimnasium Primary School (Kleingim), established in 1858. The building itself is one of the more interesting buildings in town with its Egyptian theme and reliefs of Egyptian mythology on the tower.
Across the road is the Toringkerk which was built in 1875. This impressive building is one of the most recognizable in Paarl with its tower, measuring 57 metres, one of the tallest in the country.
In a town with as rich a history as Paarl you shouldn't be surprised to know that these are by no means the only historic buildings in the area. Just off the Main Street there are many other interesting houses. An example is the Afrikaanse Taalmuseum which is housed in Malherbe House which is where Afrikaans had its origin.
Many more interesting houses are to be found on the surrounding Wine farms and other areas of the town.
Most of the well known schools such as La Rochelle and Boys High are worth a visit.
A nostalgic walk down the Main street of Paarl is good for the mind, good for the soul and good for your legs!
Take your time and stop for a drink or just amble along taking in the beautiful sights.

1st 'Significant Winter Storm' May Blanket Hudson Valley, New York
Bobby Welber
Bobby Welber Published: January 3, 2022
Some weather models suggest "a nor'easter with considerable impact on the Hudson Valley" is coming.
Hudson Valley Weather is tracking "the possibility for the first significant winter storm of the 21-22 season."
Snow could fall Thursday night into Friday morning. However, it's too soon to tell if the Hudson Valley will be blanketed with snow, officials say.
Joanna Glab
"For now, it's roughly equal chances of a hit or miss, because of how much time exists until the event. This is certainly something we'll be watching closely," Hudson Valley Weather stated.
Hudson Valley Weather's current five-day forecast has snow for Thursday night and Friday morning.
As of this writing, Hudson Valley Weather believes there is a 30 percent chance of the Hudson Valley seeing more than six inches of snow. There's also a 30 percent chance of 6 inches or less of snow and a 40 percent chance of the storm missing the region.
Irina Igumnova
"In this timeframe, the confidence remains low, due to the lack of detailed data. The majority of the computer model data suggests that we will see some variety of impact on Friday. The European model and Canadian models both suggest a nor'easter with considerable impact on the Hudson Valley... while the GFS model has the storm develop too late, and too far south, to impact our area," Hudson Valley Weather wrote Monday morning on Facebook.
Hudson Valley Weather says it's normal for different models to have conflicting data this far out.
nameinfame
"It's rare to see unanimous agreement in this timeframe, so we certainly have questions to answer. The big take away at this point, is if you have plans on Friday... you want to watch the forecast closely. It's too early to cancel/change plans... but as we get closer, and the data begins to lock in on a single idea, we'll have a better idea of how Friday will unfold," Hudson Valley Weather added.
As of Monday morning, The Weather Channel predicts 3 to 5 of snow for Dutchess, Orange Putnam, Ulster, and Rockland counties.

Bukittinggi ("haute colline" en malais) est la deuxième ville de la province indonésienne de Sumatra occidental. Sa population est de  et sa superficie de .

La ville est située dans les hautes terres du pays Minangkabau, à  au nord-est de Padang, la capitale provinciale, au pied des volcans Singgalang (inactif) et Merapi (toujours actif). À  d'altitude, la ville a un climat relativement frais, avec une température entre 16,1° et .

Administrativement, Bukittinggi a le statut de kota. La ville est divisée en 3 kecamatan (districts) sur lesquels sont répartis 5 nagari (villages traditionnels) d'origine.

Histoire
En 1825, en pleine guerre des Padri, les Hollandais fondent Fort de Kock en haut d'une colline, lui donnant le nom du gouverneur-général des Indes néerlandaises de l'époque, Hendrik Merkus de Kock.

Une route reliant le fort à la côte ouest de Sumatra est construite de 1833 à 1841, passant par la gorge d'Anai, pour faciliter les mouvements de troupes. En 1856, les Hollandais y créent une école normale d'instituteurs (kweekschool), la première à Sumatra, dans le cadre d'une politique d'éducation de la population locale. Une voie ferrée est construite de 1891 à 1894, reliant Bukittinggi à Padang.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, la ville était le quartier général de la  Armée japonaise, qui occupait Sumatra.

Durant la révolution indonésienne, Bukittinggi abrite un "gouvernement d'urgence de la République d'Indonésie (Pemerintah Darurat Republik Indonesia ou PDRI) de décembre 1948 à juillet 1949. Les troupes hollandaises occupent la ville lors de leur seconde "action de police" en décembre 1948, après un bombardement de préparation. Les Hollandais rendent la ville à la république dans le cadre du transfert formel de souveraineté en décembre 1949.

The story (of what little there is) revolves around the band recording their new album in a haunted house and as Dave becomes more possessed the proceedings become more and more gruesome.

Review of Non-Market Entrepreneurship: Interdisciplinary Approaches, by Gordon E. Shockley, Peter M. Frank, and Roger Stough, eds.
Much of what is contained within this book has more to do with developing a typology of various non-market institutions than explicitly developing theories of their more complex workings. In this sense, this volume serves as a useful bibliographic source for information on this emerging field of research, and the multi-disciplinary scope of the essays ensures that anyone with even a passing interest in these matters will find something of note among the twelve chapters.

But Pari team tried it seen Kudos to Anusha Sharma for this effort to make something different. That is so unaware of you Vikram Bhatt is still the king of Hindi Horror who makes Brilliant Horror films on the concept of Good over Evil. Those who say Vikram Bhatt films are clumsy to be grade filled with sensuality only are the ones who never watch. But ready to criticize. I appreciate this film as well but I get too scared by Vikram Bhatt films. I didn't get much scared by this film.

WCSD 5th Graders Attend NFSO Concert Courtesy of Kiwanis of Freeport-South Walton
For over 30 years, the NFSO has provided free annual concerts for Walton and Okaloosa County students with specialized youth-oriented programming and teacher curriculum. This year, the symphony performed the famous Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev, but with a twist! Peter VS. The Wolf was a fun filled show that engaged the audience of students from across the district.
Here is the synopsis from Justin Locke, composer of Peter VS. The Wolf: "At last, the Wolf gets his day in court. The show begins with alarms, bells, and sounds of a police chase, as the Wolf has just escaped from the zoo. He runs into the concert hall, eluding the police chase, and pleads his case with the audience. He claims he never got a fair trial and proceeds to the audience to tell his side of the story. The original Prokofiev music and "the narrator's affidavit" are presented as evidence of 'duckicide in the first degree, with one gulp,' but the Wolf proves to be an able defense attorney. He calls each instrument to the stand and cross-examines them, teaching us a lot about music along the way."
The Freeport-South Walton Kiwanis Club has graciously sponsored the students in this annual event for a number of years. Because of their gracious contribution, over 500 WCSD students were able to attend the concert just this morning, February 19, on the campus of Northwest Florida State College. Joined by members of the organization, Bill Whitney, South Walton Kiwanis President made a special presentation of $1,000 to help cover transportation expenses for this concert.
Walton County School District is exceedingly appreciative and grateful to Kiwanis for their support in this event, and for all the activities they sponsor in support of the students in this county!

The Office for Metropolitan Architecture, a firm helmed by Rem Koolhaas and commonly referred to as OMA, did exactly this for his or her sequence of Prada epicenter shops practically 20 years in the past. In the Prada SoHo epicenter , OMA inserted plasma screens seamlessly into fitting-room mirrors in order that prospects trying on garments had been recorded from all angles for a visual playback. The glass containers of the fitting rooms have been made out of Priva-Lite , an electronically activated material that can be managed by the customer to look clear or opaque, challenging notions of private and non-private house. OMA additionally programmed the shop for numerous non-retail activities, just like the hidden DJ sales space in a large sloping ramp or stadium seating that captured the acquainted feeling of the Spanish Steps in Rome. The entire affair was meant to connect the in-retailer retail expertise to a world market in actual and virtual time and area.
Most individuals enjoy the convenience of shopping on-line immensely. You do not have to dress up and get out of the house, and you are able to do it at any time. Plus, you may reap the benefits of sales, bargains, and reductions from your favourite brick-and-mortar shops as well as stores that exist solely on the Internet. With so many sorts of shopping portals accessible, you are certain to seek out a number of you get pleasure from. Here's a have a look at the six hottest shopping websites on the web to contemplate.
The fusion of commerce and exhibition should come as no surprise, given the history of the artwork museum and the department store as sites of public display. In the mid-18th century, the non-public collections of art patrons populated public exhibitions of classical artwork and antiquities in newly minted civic buildings. Early department stores emerged quickly after, and retail and exhibition displays blended together. Each teams saw buyers and museumgoers as our bodies to be regulated by protocols of decorum when occupying these spaces. The division store and the museum gallery flattened social hierarchies, as those present in every respective space participated in one singular exercise: consumption. Despite the modern distaste for it, a sure democracy transpired within the act of commerce that obscured the social pecking order in favor of shared cultural and aesthetic values.
Years later, I found myself working as a retailer designer for Abercrombie and Fitch. I as soon as helped facilitate the municipal approval of upgrades to the cameras on the Huntington Seaside pier for Hollister's stay-feed system, which now streamed California to suburbs all across the nation. I knew then what I hadn't as an adolescent in Ohio: Retail stores have become a bunch for experiences first, and shopping for things second—if at all.


The Doctor of Education degree offers five areas of concentration and is designed for those who aspire to be outstanding leaders in all levels of public and private education, business and industry, and government. All classes meet in Knoxville, Tennessee, and, to accommodate professionals' busy lives, are scheduled for Friday nights and Saturdays during the fall and spring terms and in three-day blocks during the summer.
Three of the five concentrations: Executive Leadership, Human Resource Development, and Higher Education, are delivered through the Institute of Collaborative Leadership currently housed at LMU's Duncan School of Law in downtown Knoxville. The other two, Instructional Leadership and Curriculum and Instruction, are offered at the Carter and Moyers School of Education's Cedar Bluff Campus in west Knoxville.
Length of Program. The 48-credit hour program coursework can be completed in five (5) terms while the 63-credit hour program coursework requires seven and one-half terms (7.5). Candidate research and dissertation production time varies dependent on the nature of the study; the amount of discretionary time available to the candidate and the type of data to be collected.
Effective Fall 2016, LMU EdS graduates who qualify for admissions to the LMU EdD program can now apply all 30 EdS credit hours toward the doctoral program of study! This means your total number of hours of coursework remaining after the EdS would be 33 credit hours. New cohort begins each fall.

Trump planning 'dramatic' policy statement on Mexico border
AFP | 31 May 2019 9:02 AM GMT
There were no hints on the specifics of the new announcement surrounding the US immigration policy.
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said he is planning to make a major statement on US immigration policy on Thursday or Friday, amid continuing frustration over thousands of migrants pouring over the border with Mexico.
"I'm going to be making a statement, probably tomorrow but maybe today," Trump told reporters.
"This is a big-league statement. We are going to do sDonald Trump, Immigration, Mexicoomething very dramatic on the border," he said.
He said he was not planning to close the frontier with Mexico, but wants to address the issue of tens of thousands of mostly Central Americans crossing the border each month and asking for asylum, which prevents US authorities from forcibly repatriating them.
"It will be a statement having to do with the border and having to do with people illegally coming over the border," Trump said, calling it a "national emergency".
Trump accused Democrats in Congress of not supporting legislation to end what he called "ridiculous" US policy on asylum seekers.
The Democrats "want to have open borders, they want to have crime, they want to have drugs pouring into the country, they want to have human trafficking," he said.
There were no hints on the specifics of the new announcement.
Tapping his executive powers against a resistant Congress, Trump has taken billions of dollars from the military budget to construct sections of wall along the lengthy frontier.
But he needs much more funding, and courts have weighed in to stall some of the work.
According to recent press reports, the White House has also considered invoking the rarely used US Insurrection Act to deploy more US troops to the border, circumventing other restrictions on the use of the military for domestic problems.

Q: parsing json localhost android I am developing an android application in which i have to connect my android application with local host.I have done r and d,and implemented lots of codes.But didnot get success.Here is my  code for establishing connection.Its showing in ddms  connection to localhost refused
http://pastebin.com/wVmzdQvA
when i run the url on browser its opening.Dont know where actually the problem is
If anyone can guide me
Regards
Tushar

A: Your problem is simple when you think about it.
localhost on your laptop, and localhost on your android phone are not the same.
You are telling your phone to connect to phpmyadmin running on the phone... not on your laptop.
You need to have an external ip address for your laptop, and connect to this.
Try http://www.whatismyip.com or ifconfig to find out an ip address your phone can use to connect.
Lets say that within your local network you have the ip 192.168.1.14, then you should be able to connect by replacing 127.0.0.1 with 192.168.1.14.

A Level results 2020 survey: Tell us if you think students were treated fairly
A Levels and GCSEs were graded differently due to coronavirus
Lauren BallingerContent Editor
Students at Newham Collegiate Sixth Form react as they receive their A-Level grades in east London on August 13, 2020. - English authorities reassured school pupils they would be graded fairly for exams missed because of the coronavirus, after the Scottish government was forced into a major U-turn on the issue.

Thousands of pupils' results have been downgraded after this year's summer exams were cancelled because of Covid-19 despite record-high results.
The proportion of A-level entries awarded an A grade or higher has risen to an all-time high, with 27.9% securing the top grades this year, figures for England, Wales and Northern Ireland show.
But exam boards downgraded nearly two in five (39.1%) pupils' grades in England, according to data from Ofqual – which amounts to around 280,000 entries being adjusted down after moderation.
Teachers were told to submit the grades they thought each student would have received if they had sat the papers, alongside a rank order of students, after exams were cancelled amid the pandemic.
Exam boards moderated these grades to ensure this year's results were not significantly higher than previously and the value of students' grades were not undermined.
In England, a total of 35.6% of grades were adjusted down by one grade, 3.3% were brought down by two grades and 0.2% came down by three grades, figures from Ofqual show.
But overall, the proportion of entries in England, Wales and Northern Ireland awarded the top A* grade this year has surged to 9% – the highest proportion since the top grade was first introduced in 2010.
In total, 27.9% of entries were awarded an A or A* grade this summer, which is up by 2.4 percentage points on last year when 25.5% achieved the top grades.
The figures, published by the Joint Council for Qualifications, cover A-level entries from students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland where around 300,000 students are receiving their results.
