Three Weeks is a 1924 American drama film directed by Alan Crosland. The movie is based on the 1907 novel of the same name by Elinor Glyn, and the title refers to the length of an affair by the Queen of Sardalia. [2] Formerly a lost film, the FIAF database indicates a print is preserved by Russia's Gosfilmofond. [3] [4]
Preservation status
The novel had previously been made into the American film in 1914 [ it ], directed by Perry N. Vekroff and starring Madlaine Traverse and George C. Pearce, [5] and in a 1917 Hungarian film titled Három hét that was directed by Márton Garas. [6] The 1924 production was the first to be authorized and supervised by Glyn, which was noted in advertising for the film.
As described in a film magazine review, [7] the Queen of Sardalia, in a bad marriage with the brutal King Constantine II, leaves her dissipated husband for a trip to Switzerland. There she meets Paul Verdayne, a young Englishman, who becomes her lover. The King sends men to kill Paul, but he escapes them. After three weeks the Queen bids him farewell without revealing her identity. Three years later she sends for him. The lovers meet again, but she is slain by the King, who in turn dies at the hand of a servant. As time passes Paul becomes a great British statesman. Visiting Sardalia, he sees his son reigning as monarch of that country.

For a well known scene from the novel involving the Queen and a tiger skin, Glyn's script states that, rather than describing it, she would enact it for director Crosland on the set. [6] In the film, the Queen is lying on a tiger skin provided by Paul when he comes into the room. She tells him to sit in a chair and then, shown from Paul's point of view, the Queen spreads herself on the tiger skin, runs her hands through the fur, arches her back, and closes her eyes, [6] signifying her agreement to their affair.
According to contemporary records, the film made a profit of $162,825.23. Glyn was entitled to 40% of the profits and earned $65,130. [1]
Three Weeks survives with a copy in the Gosfilmofond archive in Moscow. [4]

When compared to fixed networks the wireless environment presents different challenges, not least of which is the need for methods of developing and testing applications in these novel environments. This paper presents a tool that forms a basis for addressing that need through scenario- driven network emulation. Our emulator is an extension of an earlier one that only supported fixed networks. The new emulator allows for mixes of both wireless and wired networks, and includes provision for ad hoc networks. In addition, the use of scenarios of participant interaction patterns has necessarily been supplemented to include mobility patterns.

La diócesis de Neiva () es una circunscripción eclesiástica de la Iglesia católica en Colombia, con sede en el municipio del mismo nombre, y hace parte de la provincia eclesiástica de Ibagué.

La diócesis fue establecida el 24 de julio de 1972 por el papa Pablo VI, está conformada por 15 municipios del departamento del Huila, que albergan 63 parroquias. Actualmente, funge como obispo diocesano mons. Froilán Tiberio Casas Ortíz.

Historia

El 30 de agosto de 1894, fue erigida la diócesis de Tolima por el papa León XIII con territorio desmembrado de la diócesis de Popayán y de la arquidiócesis de Santa Fe en Nueva Granada, de la cual quedó sufragánea. La sede del obispado quedó en Neiva, y como templo catedralicio se designó la iglesia de la época colonial de la Inmaculada Concepción de la Virgen María. La Diócesis del Tolima abarcaba la región conocida como Tolima Grande que comprende los actuales departamentos de Tolima y Huila.

Dada la gran extensión del territorio y la dificultad de satisfacer adecuadamente las necesidades espirituales de los fieles, la diócesis fue suprimida el 20 de mayo de 1900 por el papa León XIII y en su lugar erige las diócesis de Garzón e Ibagué (ahora arquidiócesis). Neiva dejó de ser capital eclesiástica y quedó dentro de la jurisdicción de Garzón.

La región del Tolima Grande se dividió en 1905 en los actuales departamentos de Tolima y Huila, con los mismos límites de la diócesis de Garzón e Ibagué.

El 25 de febrero de 1964 el papa Pablo VI decretó que "el templo dedicado a Dios en Honor de la Bienaventurada Virgen María Inmaculada, existente en la ciudad de Neiva, sea tenido como Iglesia Concatedral, con los derechos, honores, privilegios y obligaciones que corresponden a tales sagrados edificios". Por consiguiente, la ciudad de Neiva volvió hacer sede episcopal junto con la ciudad de Garzón y la diócesis quedó llamándose Diócesis de Garzón–Neiva.

El 24 de julio de 1972, el papa Pablo VI erige la diócesis de Neiva por medio de la bula Ad aptius tutiusque. Por consiguiente la diócesis de Neiva-Garzón quedó llamándose solo diócesis de Garzón. Originalmente la nueva jurisdicción eclesiástica fue sufragánea de la Arquidiócesis de Popayán.

El 14 de diciembre de 1974 se convirtió en parte de la provincia eclesiástica de la arquidiócesis de Ibagué.

Las elecciones presidenciales de Ecuador de 1984 constó de dos vueltas electorales, realizadas el domingo 29 de enero de 1984 y domingo 6 de mayo de ese mismo año. El vencedor de la primera vuelta fue Rodrigo Borja de Izquierda Democrática con el 28.7% de los votos, pasando a la segunda vuelta con el candidato del Partido Social Cristiano León Febres-Cordero, quién obtuvo 27.2%. En la segunda vuelta resultó elegido presidente constitucional León Febres Cordero con el 51,54% de los votos sucediendo así a Osvaldo Hurtado.

Antecedentes
Luego de la inesperada muerte de Jaime Roldós, el vicepresidente Osvaldo Hurtado asumió el gobierno, manejándolo de una forma tecnocrática siguiendo los lineamientos del Fondo Monetario Internacional favoreciendo a los sectores comerciales y empresariales del país, los cuales se encontraban en crisis, por lo que el gobierno efectuó un salvataje denominado "sucretización" que transformaba las deudas de las empresas de dólares a sucres. Esta medida fue muy impopular, provocando fuertes protestas y mucha oposición al gobierno de Hurtado. Mientras la política nacional se iba recomponiendo, forjándose nuevos liderazgos, desplazando en su mayoría a los veteranos actores políticos de la época del velasquismo.

En el 29 de enero de 1984, se realizaron las elecciones presidenciales, se candidatearon 9 binomios presidenciales. En la segunda vuelta, el 6 de mayo de 1984, Febres Cordero gana las elecciones con el 51,54% de los votos, por tres puntos de diferencia, obteniendo 1,381,709 votos, Rodrigo Borja obtuvo 1,299,084 votos, el 48,46%

Campaña Electoral
La campaña durante las elecciones de 1984 se centró en proponer soluciones a la crisis económica que vivía el país, la falta de empleo, viviendo, la creciente pobreza en los sectores populares. Los candidatos a la presidencia fueron:

León Febres-Cordero - Frente de Reconstrucción Nacional
León Febres Cordero, ingeniero guayaquileño, que se desempeñó como diputado durante la presidencia de Roldós, cargo mediante el cual obtuvo popularidad y amplia cobertura mediática por sus interpelaciones durante el juicio político al Ministro de Gobierno del régimen de Roldós, Carlos Feraud, acusado de peculado en el caso conocido como "Las Muñecas de Trapo", por haber comprado en sobreprecio las muñecas para las familias de la policía nacional y con el juicio político al Gobernador del Guayas del régimen de Hurtado, Juan Pablo Moncagatta, acusado de peculado por el sobreprecio en la compra de la Isla Santay y expropiaciones en esta; durante la presidencia de Hurtado (1981-1984) presentó juicios políticos por el caso conocido como "Arroz con Gorgojo": aproximadamente 20.000 toneladas importadas de Tailandia por las que se pagaron 300 millones de sucres, de igual manera presentó otro juicio contra el Ministro de Energía y Minas del régimen de Hurtado, Eduardo Ortega Gómez, acusado de peculado por el sobreprecio de las tarifas de la luz y la estrepitosa caída de los precios del petróleo por barril, además de la sucretización, las medidas económicas desatadas fluctuadas drásticamente en el gobierno de Hurtado, la devaluación del Sucre nuestra moneda, las deudas externas, las deudas privadas externas, las deudas públicas externas, los bonos de los dólares, el pago en dólares ante los acreedores internacionales, la deuda en dólares, entre otros.

El PSC, partido de mayor influencia en la capital y la región sierra en ese momento, decidió candidatear al guayaquileño Febres Cordero, conformando una amplia coalición con casi todos los partidos de derecha incluido el de liberalismo radical de centro político, el de conservadurismo de derecha, el de republicanismo de derecha, el de populismo de derecha y los de nacionalismo y populismo ambos de centro político, llamada Frente de Reconstrucción Nacional.

Su campaña se enfocó en prometer una mejor condición de vida de la ciudadanía a través de la recuperación económica por medio de una mayor inversión extranjera y mayor participación y confianza del gobierno en el sector privado. Sus lemas de campaña fueron "Pan, Techo y Empleo", "León: Decisión Nacional", "León Sí Se Puede", "Con León Sí Se Puede", "Pan, Techo y Empleo Vamos todos con León!", "Con León Sí Se Puede! Todos con León", "El ECUADOR es mi partido!", "Pan, Techo y Empleo León Sí se puede!", "La esperanza está de pie!", "Pan, Techo y Empleo! Con León... Sí Se Puede…", "Pan, Techo y Empleo: Sí Se Puede…", "Cuatro años más, no los aguanta nadie", "Sí Se Puede…", entre otros. En esta campaña se presentó su cuña musical más recordada basada en su lema "Unidos en un abrazo con León sí se puede", utilizando cuñas televisivas para representar esto.

En la segunda vuelta, Febres Cordero se enfocó en debatir y desprestigiar los proyectos de marco ideológico socialista de Borja, quién había ganado la primera vuelta, advirtiendo de los riesgos totalitarios de ese sistema de gobierno. Febres Cordero despuntó y garantizó su victoria en el debate televisivo, donde enfrentó fuertemente a Borja.

Rodrigo Borja - Izquierda Democrática - Pueblo, Cambio y Democracia
Rodrigo Borja en su segundo intento de llegar a la presidencia por la Izquierda Democrática en alianza con el partido populista Pueblo, Cambio y Democracia, apoyado por el APRE. Luego del gobierno pro empresarial de Hurtado, el electorado empezó a tener mayor simpatía por las propuestas de reformas de corte social demócratas de Borja, empezando a tener mayor influencia la ID en la política nacional, partido joven todavía, lo cual le permitió ganar la primera vuelta. Su candidatura sufrió ante los incesantes ataques de Febres Cordero a su persona y su marco ideológico, no pudiendo combatir contra la imponente imagen del socialcristiano, perdiendo por pocos votos, dejando a la ID como la primera fuerza de oposición. Su eslogan de campaña fue "El Triunfo es de Todos".

Amazing opportunity to purchase the best deal in the city. This home is in excellent condition and shows pride of ownership. Lowest priced home in the area and has great square footage, 5 bed with 4 full baths, tropical pool with oversized pavered patio, master bathroom fit for a queen with center roman tub, custom closets, kitchen with maple cabinets and stone countertops, walking distance to top schools and more.


Other times, the designs were blatantly stolen and reproduced. One such case is the Jovon-Lilli Ann wars over suit designs that Jovon pretty blatantly copied. (You can read about them on the No Accounting For Taste blog here!) Lilli Ann sued Jovon for this kind of design theft.
So enters the controversial question of the day: What do you think of copying and recreating vintage pieces? Do you consider this design theft or a legit way to preserve vintage style?
Here I'll attempt to present the case of both sides, then I'd love to hear from you guys!
So one side says, no way, copying vintage--especially name brand designs--is still plagiarism. The design house receives no money or recognition from the copy, so it isn't fair. Copying a vintage piece is just as wrong today as it was when Jovon did it back in the 50s. Not to mention, it dilutes the exclusiveness and rarity of vintage pieces. Designer labels are meant to be more exclusive, and copying them left and right takes away from the uniqueness of owning a true vintage couture piece.
Another side says that copying vintage pieces, even labeled ones, is perfectly fine. For many vintage designs, like Lilli Ann, the house or designer that created them no longer exists. There is no one to ask for a license to copy or a place to buy the pattern or finished garment. Even for design houses that do still exist, like Chanel, they are no longer producing that garment for us modern people to buy. (If they were.... I'm sure we would!) Copying actually preserves vintage style by making it available to more people, especially as supply continues to dwindle over the years.
So what are your thoughts? Is it okay to "copy the greats" or not? What sort of impact do you see copying having on the vintage community?
As usual, please keep your comments respectful and avoid accusatory or rude language. Thank you!
Personally I often copy vintage designer pieces for myself as I'm sure house wifes have been doing for a long time. I would not sell someone else's designs though, creating something new is part of the fun.
It is worth remembering that everything has already been done in terms of design so technically we are reusing the same ideas over and over in different combinations.
Ooo, I didn't know that! I'm going to have to check out that article! Thanks, Porcelina!
I am definitely for copying vintage, i.e. the second argument you put forward. I think if you are copying a garment for yourself, as opposed to sell to others, it is all well and good. I might have slightly different thoughts if I was making a garment to sell. I typically like original garment ideas, based on vintage designs, rather than an exact copy of a vintage garment, for selling to the public.
I think copying vintage for your own personal use is just fine. House wives and designers alike have been copying designs from by gone years for ever. I often see vintage articles that explain to the average Jane how to look and dress like movie stars but on a budget. Recreating big name designers like Schiaparelli or Dior, or being heavily influenced by them, for your own wardrobe I think is just fine. It's when you start copying to sell or in trying to pass a creation off as something it's not that you run into a bit of trouble.
That's very true. It can be very tricky, can't it? I think you're right on claiming things as you're own; that's definitely gotta be bad news bears!
I would have to say that I don't see anything wrong with an inspired piece. If you're copying a specific item stitch for stitch and using the same fabric, buttons, everything, then it's plagiarism. But really, isn't all fashion plagiarizing someone else? The fashion world goes in circles constantly reinventing old ideas.
Engaging, wonderful topic to bring up, dear gal. I veer towards giving copying my vote. I think that after a certain amount of time, especially is a designer or design house is no longer operational, there is something of a Creative Commons element to fashion and that that it's usually fine to embrace a strong degree of inspiration from fashions of the past and celebrate them again today though emulations like.
I once took an English class where the instructor said that everything that will be written has been written, we just rewrite it in new packages. Take the movie Avatar, very similar to Pocahontas, they even both have magic trees. While I still believe there must be some original thought out there, I understand that there are only so many ways to tell a story. Fashion is no different, there are only so many ways to fashion a pair of pants, until it's not a pair of pants. Also, imitation is the biggest form of flattery, so why not copy from great fashion icons.
I'm a dressmaker, I love fashion from 30's to 50's and sometimes I sew reproductions of vintage clothing. Sewing is an "savoir faire" that begins to disappear. I think it is important to keep this knowledge. Sewing retro clothing takes a lot of time, there is full of hand stitching. The fabric is expensive and hard to find... It is work that is done for love and not for money. (I am not rich it is actualy the opposite.) The vintage community is a passionate community. And I work for my passion.
You are very right, whether people agree with copying or not, that doesn't make reproducing a design EASY. I'm sure you do awesome work!
I think it's okay to copy designs if you're only sewing for yourself or a close relative or friend but not if you're making clothes to make money. I have never copied anything exactly myself. I prefer to be inspired by a design and add my own personal touches.
Oooh I'm so full of thoughts and so glad you posted about this!
Firstly, I think that if it is not for sale then there is no issue. If it is for sale, then I think there is a lot of grey area on a few issues.
How old is the item? I'm definitely ok with copying a museum piece from the 16th century, and not ok with copying a designer piece from last year, but I don't know where exactly to draw that line. With time, designs sort of become a part of our design heritage and, in my opinion, pass into acceptable territory.
How unique is it? Would you find a bunch of similar items with similar features, or is it a distinctive creation that obviously comes from a particular designer?
How close a copy is it? I consider it ok to take inspiration from the work of others, and combine elements from other designs in a new mix in your own work. Actually I find that even if I am trying to reproduce a design exactly (even my own), they always end up at least a little bit different. I tend to just try to copy a particular shape or trim or something but not the whole thing. Having said that, I would like to do some accurate copies, particularly from old movie costumes.
I have no idea on the legal part (any lawyers out there?!), but I think you bring up some good points. Where is the line where it shifts from being wrong to copy to being perfectly acceptable? I'm not sure.
I am speaking from an "art" point of view because to certain degree fashion is a form of art. Sadly, patterns is a slippery slope and copying is still hard to sue people for even in modern fashion designs. Truthfully I am super supportive or trying to make copyright laws more relaxed. Most of them are so strict because of Disney who lobby to get new copyright laws to be passed. I think there is something to be said about a classic piece to be reworked and reimagined by an artist. This about the BBC show Sherlock, if it wasn't for the fact that it was so old that it became public domain, we might not have have that show. Or think about all the new releases of Alice in Wonderland with great new illustrations. People would make the argument that you are trying to get the attention of a new audience who might of ignored these stories.
My general stance is copying is okay if it isn't for profit. I am a vegan which means I avoid wearing wool, leather, and sometimes silk. So fashion wise it can cut me away from designs that I like. (vintage I am much more relaxed about) So if I find a cute purse, I have no problem mentally buying a vegan knock off or recreating it because hey, it's their loss for their choice of material. BUT it isn't like I am always going out of my way to buy knockoffs. I generally think it is bad to try and steal a modern in production product and try and make a fast buck off of it. It is quite another for me to make my own purse because I didn't want to support a leather industry.
But as Tanith has mentioned, even pros have a hard time replicating something 100%. Even if I ripped apart a dress and traced the pattern, the end result wouldn't be 100% perfect. And I think I could tell the difference between a $1,000 dress and a $100 knockoff. It is one of those you get what you pay for. And if you can't tell the difference, then maybe the original company should be re-evaluating their product production and cost.
I'm a bit late chiming in on this, but I think this really is an interesting question. I'm kind of glad to see that a lot of other people seem to agree with my stance - particularly after some time has passed, it's not really an issue anymore. As other people have said, if you're not selling the items (or even if you are, so long as your clear that it's a reproduction and not an authentic original), I don't see the harm. Of course, if you are trying to pass it off as the real thing, that's a whole other can of worms, especially if it's a rare or expensive item.
While I absolutely respect the rights of designers to make money, I also think that fashion is all about judiciously copying other peoples' designs. Maybe not down to the last stitch or anything, but what's how trends work, isn't it? Someone comes up with something ground breaking and original, someone else likes it enough to make something similar, and all of a sudden it's everywhere.
I read every comment, so I'm glad you still posted! I wonder about copying really iconic designs. I agree with you, but I wish I could hear from a design house like Chanel or Dior to hear their thoughts on it!

Intimate photos of the Romanovs, shortly before their execution, 1915-1916
Tsar Nicholas II with daughters (left to right) Maria, Anastasia, Olga and Tatiana Romanov.
Most of these rare and relatively intimate pictures of the Imperial Romanov family were taken by the head of the family and Russia's last tsar himself, Nicholas II. An insatiable photographer, the tsar took great care of his pictures, filing them carefully in numerous albums. He passed down his love for photography to Maria, his third daughter, who was responsible for coloring most of the pictures. Within a year of the last pictures, the Russian Revolution took place. The Tsar was forced to abdicate and the family was exiled.
Following the February Revolution, the Romanov family and their loyal servants were imprisoned in the Alexander Palace before being moved to Tobolsk and then Yekaterinburg, where they were killed, allegedly at the express command of Vladimir Lenin. Despite being informed that "the entire family suffered the same fate as its head", the Bolsheviks only announced Nicholas's death, with the official press release that "Nicholas Romanov's wife and son have been sent to a secure place."
For over eight years, the Soviet leadership maintained a systematic web of disinformation as to the fate of the family, from claiming in September 1919 that they were murdered by left-wing revolutionaries to denying outright in April 1922 that they were dead. They acknowledged the murders in 1926 following the publication of an investigation by a White émigré, but maintained that the bodies were destroyed and that Lenin's Cabinet was not responsible. The Soviet cover-up of the murders fuelled rumours of survivors, leading to the emergence of Romanov impostors that drew media attention away from Soviet Russia.
The burial site was discovered in 1979 by an amateur sleuth,] but the existence of the remains was not made public until 1989, during the glasnost period. The identity of the remains was confirmed by forensic and DNA investigation. They were reburied in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg in 1998, 80 years after they were killed.

Not permitted by the Bolsheviks to follow the tsar's family into exile, she was first jailed in St. Petersburg and eventually escaped to Finland, were she lived in a convent until her death in the 1960s.

Thank you very much for this interesting article and photos. Great time at it! My father's family possesses a golden medal handed by Tzar Nicholas II. In the family, the story goes that it was given to my great-grand-father for having one of Nicholas's daughters at his house as a guest while she was visiting the Iguazu Falls in Argentina. Doing some math this story falls into pieces unless some of the escape rumors cited in this article were true. Who knows! Good reading.
Ella October 8, 2020
Hi, the 'unidentified' woman sat next to Olga on the sand is family friend Margarita 'Ritka' Khitrovo. She worked alongside Olga, Tatiana and Alexandra in the Tsarskoe Selo hospital.

I think I would make a great fashion designer and a celebrity stylist.
If you get to choose being stuck in an elevator with someone, who would you want it to be?
That I can't share [laughs].
If you would want to change an aspect of your appearance, what would you change?
I wouldn't change anything. I am very happy with my appearance.

When someone doesn't care about me or my feelings.
A beauty regime you swear by for your hair and skin?
There are many. But never underestimate the power of drinking lots of water.
How would you define your style sense?
My style depends on my mood and the place where I am heading.
How do you unwind and relax after a tiring day?
I count on a body massage or a hot oil head massage. Works every time.
What is the most important think you've learnt in life?
My work, and in a way I am addicted to myself.
One thing a woman should never do?
A woman should never ever compromise on her respect.
A turn on for you?

Bad mannerisms and a negative personality.
I feel I am incredibly good at making myself happy.

A habit of yours that you like the most?
Again, I am big on thinking positive. Positive thinking is my forte.
A habit of yours that you dislike the most?
I am short-tempered and can get really impatient.

Liberals in England are pushing for sex education classes to be taught starting at the age of seven. The proposed sex ed curriculum would be made "age appropriate" for the children The Guardian reports.
Education minister David Laws said, "We have long made the case, both inside and outside government, for updated sex and relationship education to be taught in all schools, including academies and free schools, but it is not something the Conservatives are open to. We believe that by educating children about sex and relationships in an appropriate way, we can help them to make informed choices in their personal lives."
Domestic abuse activists hope that the new curriculum would have an effect on students' relationships later in life.
Seema Malhotra, Labour's shadow minister for preventing violence against women and girls, said, "Violence in young relationships is a huge issue, as is preventing violence in future relationships. Only through ideas like compulsory sex and relationship education can we tackle the root causes of domestic abuse and give young people the tools and support they need to make informed decisions about their own lives."
English Conservative have spoken out against the young sex ed classes.


A change in one's belief system is perhaps one of the most metamorphic phases that a human can go in life. In this time of information inundating our brains all the time, it's difficult to sift through all that and pick up a belief that resonates with who we are. But here's the tricky part: contrary to popular belief, we do change with time! And there goes the belief system too- straight out of the small, grill-window.
I think some change like that is happening within me too. And it happened after my 31st birthday. You know how it is, right? At 23, we thought we had figured it all out. I thought the same on my 31st. And then I also had a strands of grey hair to support my preposterous claim that 'I have got it!'. I think, why I gave that I idea to myself was also because I found myself planning for my 40s. I also shared my reasoning with my very wise mum who obviously still thinks I have some more growing up to do. So, I was planning to 'invest' more in muscle mass, books, knowledge, skills, people with humour, positive attitude, optimism etc. Yes, the list that no one understands without grey strands.
A lot of my beliefs about myself and the world are just gone. Banished. I feel strange about it with anticipation about what others would think about my new set of beliefs. Because, since I have been given a free! free! free! talent of also being articulate with words, I am going to be equally confident about these new beliefs as with the earlier ones…which incidentally are polar opposites of each other!
But then again I had heard someone very wise say this: Beliefs must change. Otherwise how else will we make space for new knowledge that is coming our way? I think I will believe that for a while now.
What IS that blessed thing?!

2.7% hike in average £800k lifetime tax bill
An average household will pay £826,030 in direct and indirect taxes over a lifetime, with the total increasing by 2.7% in 2014-2015 compared to the previous year, according to figures compiled by the TaxPayers' Alliance (TPA)
The pressure group says in 2014-15, an average UK household had a gross income of £41,027. At this level of income it would take more than 20 years to pay their lifetime tax bill. This includes £169,371 of VAT, £107,045 of employee's National Insurance Contributions and £65,068 of council tax.
TPA's calculations indicate that over a lifetime, an average household in the top 20% by income will pay £1.68m in direct and indirect taxes, a 4.3% increase on the lifetime tax calculation for this group last year. An average household within this group had a gross income of £86,768, and at this level of income would take more than 19 years to clear the bill.
John O'Connell, chief executive of the TPA, said: 'Tax bills for households in every income group have gone up over the last year and that has obvious implications on hard-pressed families, already struggling with ever-rising bills.
'If we are to start living within our means as a country the government simply must tighten its belt and take the task of finding savings seriously. With a new administration in place, now is the time to introduce radical reforms to our tax system and spending priorities to ease the pressure on ordinary taxpayers and boost economic growth.'

Award for Peterhead Therapet Mannie
Mannie and his owner Fiona Redford have been visiting Allandale House Care Home for many years
Published: 10:02 Updated: 10:07 Tuesday 14 January 2020
A very special visitor to a Peterhead care home has received an award for his "outstanding" work with its service users.
Labrador dog Mannie has been named the joint runner-up for the Therapet of the Year Award 2019 by Canine Concern Scotland Trust.
Mannie and his owner Fiona Redford have been visiting Allandale House Care Home for people with mental health problems for many years now and is very much part of thefamily there.
Allandale House manager Sarah Wright said: "He has brought smiles and emotions to many people, our service users look forward to a Thursday morning to see our friend.
"We have one service user who has had a stroke and is an amputee, he is so gentle with her and gives her a wee lick and a paw which just makes her day. She always has a biscuit ready for him.
"He knows where he is at in Allandale House, heads straight to the kitchen for his treat then goes to see everyone.
He has just started "taking us for a walk" over to the beach. The service users get to take a lead and Mrs Redford had the other lead. This gave the service users a real sense of purpose being able to take Mannie for a walk."
Sarah added: "Some of our service users previously had dogs before coming into the home so Mannie coming in allows them to continue to have a love for a dog.
"We are all very fond of Mannie and he has given service users a huge amount of pleasure and company over the years."
Appraisal to breathe new life into Peterhead Town House


The main reason preppers learn survival skills is so they won't be helpless if they lose all their supplies. For example, if you don't have a fire starter, you'll need to know how to start a fire without one.
But there's another good reason to learn survival skills: barter.
In a post SHTF world where money has become worthless, many people will resort to bartering with one another. And although it's a good idea to have plenty of barter items, it's even better if you have skills you can barter.
Then you can get what you need without giving up any of your own supplies. The following article lists 15 survival skills that will be in high demand after the SHTF. Follow the link below to check it out.
Completely agree with you. Skills need to be obtained. However hunting is a skill which is often under estimated. Same can be said for trapping. Making a trap out of wood in a survival situation is difficult if you've mastered it, let alone a noob. That's Why I made the quick trap. It's so easy to set up. The best feature i think is its 3 in 1 traps. Fish, baited or non baited. It also includes free 5.50 cord and water container.
Very interested in this type of material, Have many family members who disagree with me!

Josh Duggar to Federal Agents: Why Are You Investigating Me For Child Pornography?
Wednesday marked the first full day of testimony in the Josh Duggar child pornography trial.
And prosecutors called two law enforcement witnesses who offered damning testimony about the investigation into Josh's alleged receipt and possession of illegal materials.
First came Detective Amber Kalmer with the Little Rock Police Department, who traced the material in question to an IP address linked to a device being used at the Springdale, Arkansas car dealership owned by Josh.
According to People magazine, Detective Kalmer explained to the jury the ins and outs of the investigation, as well as the methods that were used for locating the illicit photos and videos and linking them to a specific device.
After Kalmer's testimony prosecutors called Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Gerald Faulkner, whose name might already be familiar to those who have been following Josh's case from the very beginning.
It was Faulkner who described the materials found on Josh's devices as "the worst of the worst" after the former reality star was arrested back in April.
Faulkner took the stand to explain to the jury the process by which he and his partner, Special Agents Howard Aycock, used surveillance to ensure that the devices belong to Josh before they moved in for the arrest.
Josh's attorney, Justin Gelfand, says the agents moved too slowly and allowed the real perpetrators to get away.
Faulkner says the agency merely wanted to be thorough, so as to avoid arresting the wrong man.
During Faulkner's testimony, prosecutors played audio that was taken the day that the dealership was raided by federal agents back in 2019.
Duggar waived his right to remain silent and spoke to the agents about the raid, even going so far as to "guess" that the investigation had to do with child pornography.
"I've watched my friends answer things and they get 'em," he said in the recording.
"Statutes are broad," he added, explaining his intention to speak without incriminating himself.
Faulkner informed the court that Duggar appeared "calm" and showed "no visible reaction" as his business was raided.
"Mr. Duggar turned in his chair, facing me and Mr. Aycock, and asked, 'Is this about someone downloading child pornography?'" Faulkner recalled.
At that point, Gelfand expressed doubt, as that particular comment was not caught on tape.
Agent Faulkner explained that Josh made the remark before he was able to hit record.
"That's the second before?" Gelfand asked.
Faulkner responded to this question in the affirmative.
From there, Josh cooperated with investigators by explaining how he "daisy-chained" the routers in order to provide better wi-fi coverage throughout the car lot.
Asked about his use of the "Dark Web" and sophisticated torrent prorams, Duggar told the agents he was using it for his business, to upload photos.
"I would not think the 'Dark Web' would be the best place to do that," Faulkner remarked on the recording.
Josh pled ignorance and claimed that a friend recommended that he download the Tor program.
"I guess I better not say if I don't understand … I don't see any difference," Duggar said.
At that point, Josh began to ask for specifics regarding the investigation.
"So is that what you're saying is going on?" Duggar said.
"What is the scope? Is something going on on my devices?" he asked investigators.
"In the scope of your investigation, I guess you'll narrow it down … [and] know if it's any of the devices here."
The investigators answered Josh's questions with questions.
They asked if there been any "red flags" before today, any reason to worry that he might have accidentally downloaded illicit materials.
"Not at all," Josh replied.
It was then that the agents revealed that the IP address from Josh's device had been linked to the exchange of child pornography.
"At this point it's probably best if you just listen," Agent Faulkner remarked.
"I'm not saying that I'm guilty or not," Josh said later on the recording.
Gelffand argued that Josh's office was a tiny "fishbowl" with windows on three sides and thus, little privacy.
He claimed that the only computer on site was shared by all employees.
The remarks seem to confirm that Gelfand will attempt to blame one of Josh's co-workers for the illicit materials.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Dustin Roberts anticipated this argument in his opening statement, telling the jury that the computer and everything on it belongs to Josh and Josh alone.
"Throughout the trial, you're going to see images of minors, not actors, not actresses — children, some as young as seven years of age," Roberts said.
"These children are being abused," he added, urging the jury:
"Hold him accountable."
Josh's trial is expected to last five to six days.
We'll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Bollywood Shares Responsibility for Racism: Adil Hussain
'A section of films only try to sell fear'
By ABDUL GANI
|24 April 2020 10:58 AM GMT
GUWAHATI: Reacting to the racism perpetrated against people from northeast India, internationally acclaimed actor Adil Hussain who hails from Assam held Bollywood and the mainstream media responsible to some extent for this continuing discrimination.
"It's extremely disappointing to say to the least. It's sad, heart wrenching to see when people from different parts of the country… Quite a lot of people and incidents of discrimination against people from Northeast."
"Northeast hasn't been really portrayed in the mainstream media, in films and television much. I would hold Bollywood responsible and also myself responsible. People who make films and series should be held responsible at the national level… for not representing those faces from Northeast," the Life of Pi actor told the public.
He added that Bollywood and a section of films only try to sell fear, instead of focusing on the other side of life.
People from the northeastern region have always been at the receiving end of racism in most parts of the country. Even in the wake of the COVID19 outbreak students from northeast states had to face discrimination because of their appearance, in New Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad among other cities.
Talking further about his roles, the Goalpara born actor said that among all the characters he has played, Mukti Bhawan in Hotel Salvation is the role he relates with the most.
"All the characters have certain elements of Adil… I quite often draw from my personal experiences. But the most, I would say Mukti Bhaban in a way.
"I feel very deeply intrigued by death, also I had a relationship with my dad that wasn't very easy, though it wasn't difficult… He and I always had a problem… you know this male male thing… Anyway, I won't go there now, it's a long conversation," said Hussain in a live online interaction with fans.
Hotel Salvation directed by Shubhashish Bhutiani is one of the most talked about films in the last several years. It bagged a National Award as well as a number of prestigious awards across the globe, including the UNESCO Gandhi Medal and Best Film at the Busan International Film Festival.
The film depicts a relationship between father and son. The son is forced to set his job aside to accompany his elderly father to the holy city of Varanasi in his last days.
Hussain, known for playing some of the most acclaimed characters in recent times, also shared the names of the series he has been watching during the lockdown.
"I have a hard drive with films from 1936 which were curated by one of my teachers. The condition was that he would watch the films at least two to three times. And if he loved it the third time which has after-taste remains, he would put it in the hard drive. I'm watching these. There are 200 such films.
"Among web series, I have finished watching Loudest Voice, Succession, Fauda… which is very disturbing. I was waiting for Messiah, I really enjoyed it," he added.
In 2018 Hussain won a Norwegian Amanda Award for best actor, for his role in the Norwegian film What Will People Say, a first for an Indian actor.
Asked who he would like to act beside, Hussain named Anthony Hopkins and Ben Kingsley… "among others".

Licensing Authority statistics: April 2014 to March 2019
The Gambling Commission has published a report in respect of the period between April 2014 and March 2019 that provides statistics by licensing authorities (LAs) in respect of their duties under the Gambling Act 2005 for the regulation of gambling in Great Britain.
The following headline findings indicate areas of interest resulting from data provided by all 380 licensing authorities for the year ending 31 March 2019:
51,541: Permits/Notifications for gambling activity currently active. (-1.4% from March 2018)
2,838: Permits/Notifications for gambling activity issued this year. (-37% from March 2018)
5,098: Inspections/visits of premises where gambling activity takes place conducted by licensing authorities. (+1% from March 2018)
13: Average number of inspections/visits of premises where gambling activity took place per licensing authority. (No change from March 2018)
105: Total number of licensing authorities which did not conduct any inspections/visits of premises. (-13% from March 2018)
140: Total test purchasing visits conducted by all licensing authorities. (+77% from March 2018)
The Executive Summary to the report (that can be downloaded in full below) states as follows:
As of March 2019, there are 51,541 permits and notifications in force for gambling-related activity in alcohol-licensed premises, clubs and unlicensed family entertainment centres across Great Britain. This represents a 1% decrease on last year, and a 7% decline over the last 5 years.
LAs reported that a total of 2,838 permits were issued or notifications received. Over a 5-year period, this figure has fallen by 1,729 (38%). The average quantity of permits issued/notifications received per LA was 7.
In addition, LAs have received 465 Occasional Use Notices (OUNs), allowing betting operators licensed by the Gambling Commission (the Commission) to take bets on tracks. A total of 9 Temporary Use Notices (TUNs) were submitted to LAs, permitting the holder of a non- remote casino operating licence (licensed by the Commission) to offer gambling activities at a temporary venue for a limited period of time.
The report also presents the quantity of LA conducted pre-planned inspections, follow-up inspections, inspections following a complaint, and test purchasing visits for age verification. During this reporting period (as part of their regulatory responsibility for gambling) LAs inspected or visited 5,098 premises, of which 3,290 were at locations where the operator is licensed by the Commission (for example, arcades, bookmakers, bingo halls, casinos and race tracks). Overall, this is an increase of 1% compared to last year. However, this is due entirely to visits to premises where the operator is not licensed by the Commission (Other). There have been decreases in all remaining areas. Over a 5-year period there is an overall decrease of 20% in the total quantity of inspections and visits conducted by LAs.
There is a decrease in inspections following a complaint and follow-up inspections, and an increase in pre- planned inspections and test purchasing visits. Compared to the previous reporting period, test purchasing visits rose by 77% and pre-planned inspections increased by 1%. Inspections following complaints fell by 12% while follow up inspections reduced by 21%.
There is a wide variation in the performance of LAs with respect to conducting inspections and visits. Of the 380 LA's, 6 (2%) conducted more than 100 inspections or visits in the year ending 31 March 2019. A majority of 253 (67%) conducted fewer than 10 inspections or visits during the year (including 105 LAs which conducted none). The average quantity of premises inspected or visited by each LA during this period was 13.
To make the system of shared regulation as effective and efficient as possible, the Commission notifies LAs of complaints and intelligence received regarding non- compliance and illegality in their geographical area which is primarily of a localised nature. These are referred to as Local Authority Compliance Events (LACE) referrals. During this reporting period, 85 referrals were made in the year ending March 2019, compared with 74 in the previous year (a 15% increase).

Minnesota Twins land four on Baseball America's top 100 prospects list
By Chris Schad
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 15: Alex Kirilloff #19 of the Minnesota Twins and the U.S. Team bats in the second inning against the World Team during the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game at Nationals Park on July 15, 2018 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images) /
The Minnesota Twins saw a prospect drop off of the midseason update, but still have four prospects on Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list.
As trade season begins to heat up at the major league level, there is still plenty of talk about what is happening in the Minnesota Twins' minor league system. As general managers drool over potential trade chips (and who they can use to acquire talent), the Twins have plenty to be happy about as four of their prospects made Baseball America's midseason update of the Top 100 Prospects List (subscription required).
The prospects that made the cut for the Twins were Royce Lewis, Alex Kirilloff, Brusdar Graterol and Jordan Balazovic. 2018 first-round pick Trevor Larnach, who was recently promoted to Double-A, also came close to making the cut but was one of 15 prospects who fell off the list.
In what may be a minor surprise for some, Kirilloff leads the way for the Twins as the 17th ranked prospect on the list. The outfielder entered the season ranked 11th, but has dealt with a pair of injuries throughout his 2019 campaign. Despite the setbacks, Kiriloff has still gotten the job done at Double-A Pensacola. The list dubbed the 21-year old the best hitter in the Twins season as evidenced by his .284/.354/.409 line with 4 HR and 21 RBI for the Blue Wahoos this season.
Next on the list is Lewis, who fell 10 spots from the preseason list to be ranked 21st in the midseason update. Lewis' season started off with an oblique injury and then a slow start at the plate. He has begun to heat up in the month of July, hitting .316/.403/.474 with two home runs and seven RBI with High-A Fort Myers. Lewis' potential remains high, but the list also questions whether his swing will allow him to hit high-level pitching.
From there, the Twins have a pair of pitchers make the list in Brusdar Graterol and Jordan Balazovic. Graterol was having a tremendous season with a 5-0 record and 1.89 ERA at Double-A Pensacola, but is currently shut down due to a shoulder injury. His status factors into his current ranking, which has him slotted at 35th, up one spot from the preseason rankings.
Balazovic has also popped onto the prospect radar this season while pitching between Low-A Cedar Rapids and High-A Fort Myers. The right-hander has gone 7-4 this season between the two levels with a 2.78 ERA and has struck out 12.2 batters per nine innings. Balazovic checks into the list at 98th, 10 spots down from where he stood in the preseason list.
Next. Ranking the Twins' potential trade targets. dark
Most of the time, these lists are made for fan discussion, but it's interesting to see what some think of the Twins prospects heading into the trade deadline. While GMs have their own opinions, a list like this could give an idea of who they may be asking for and what the Twins will have to give up to help boost their pitching staff in the coming days.


Stephanie Brothers will be leading us in a project for the program part of the meeting on September 13th.
This chapter meeting we will be making needle minders from covered buttons. The buttons and magnets and some instructions will be supplied but members should bring the following.
Special materials to bring: fabric of a cotton broadcloth weight to fit your hoop (not flimsy but not heavy as it has to fit into the button mold), small fabric scissors to cut the fabric, an erasable marking pen or pencil to draw a pattern on the fabric, ideas for small motifs to embroider.
To prepare ahead: if you want to prepare ahead bring ideas for a simple 1″ embroidery, a completed embroidery in a 1″ circle on a fabric at least 2″ square or the beginnings of an embroidery.Maybe something from a doodle cloth?
The embroidering is what takes the most time so planning and starting ahead is helpful. If you don't complete your embroidery by the time you leave I will bring the materials to complete covering the buttons to the small church meeting and the next guild meeting.
Inspiration: go to my pinterest site at https://www.pinterest.ca/skyemom/embroidered-buttons/. Many of these buttons are too complicated for what we are doing as they are designed on larger buttons but they give you an idea of what you can do and how beautiful these can be.

Wells Fargo Names Mary Mack Head of Consumer Lending
BYReuters
December 19, 2017, 9:28 AM UTC
Wells Fargo & Co (WFCNP) has expanded the role of Mary Mack, head of its community banking operations, to include overseeing its consumer lending business.
Mack, a 33-year veteran of Wells Fargo, will continue to serve on the lender's operating committee and report to Chief Executive Tim Sloan, the bank said on Monday.

Mack has led community banking since July 2016. The consumer lending operation includes the bank's home lending, dealer services, student lending and personal lines of credit businesses, Wells Fargo said.
Mack took over as head of community banking from Carrie Tolstedt, a central figure in the sales scandal that has tarnished the bank's reputation. Under Tolstedt's watch, thousands of retail bank employees created as many as 3.5 million phony accounts in customers' names to hit aggressive sales targets.

Q: Updating DOM before blocking code by setTimeout or promise I know that when there is a CPU intensive code any immediate previous DOM update won't happen. Such as

function blockFor(dur){
  var now = new Date().getTime();
  while (new Date().getTime() < now + dur);
  result.textContent = "I am done..!";
}

result.textContent = "Please remain..."; // we will never see this
blockFor(2000);

However if I shift the CPU intensive code to the asynchronous timeline by setTimeout it's all fine as in the following snippet.

function blockFor(dur){
  var now = new Date().getTime();
  while (new Date().getTime() < now + dur);
  result.textContent = "I am done..!";
}

result.textContent = "Please remain..."; // now you see me
setTimeout(_ => blockFor(2000),15);      // 15ms to be on the safe side

However since i know that promises also take you to a "sort of" asycnronous timeline i was expecting to achieve the same effect without using the setTimeout hack. Such as;

function blockFor(dur){
  var now = new Date().getTime();
  while (new Date().getTime() < now + dur);
  result.textContent = "I am done..!";
}

result.textContent = "Please remain..."; // not in Chrome not in FF
Promise.resolve(2000)
       .then(blockFor)

I would at least expect this to run as expected in FF because of this perfect article (https://jakearchibald.com/2015/tasks-microtasks-queues-and-schedules/) alas no way.
Is there any way to accomplish this job with promises?

A: Promise.prototype.then has microtask semantics. This means it has to wait for synchronous code to run but not for asynchronous code to run - browsers probably choose to wait for all JS to run before doing DOM updates.
Generally microtask means it has to wait for other JS to run, and then it can run before yielding control to non JS code.
setTimeout has macrotask semantics. It runs as a part of the DOM API and when the callback runs the non-js code has already gotten a chance to run. Browsers already run their own code when this runs so they also process events and DOM updates.
Generally macrotask means that it has to wait for all other JS to run and also for the "event loop to tick" - that is: events to fire.
This is also the difference between setImmediate and nextTick in NodeJS.
To answer your question directly: no. There is no way to force the browser to run DOM updates in a microtick update - while it is technically not forbidden for it to do so - it would be "bad mannered".
For long running CPU bound operations - may I suggest Web Workers instead?

A: The problem is that the promise, even if it runs asynchronously, runs too early. So browsers don't have time to update the DOM. This problem is not specific to promises, I see the same result when using a setTimeout with a 0ms delay:

function blockFor(dur){
  var now = new Date().getTime();
  while (new Date().getTime() < now + dur);
  result.textContent = "I am done..!";
}
result.textContent = "Please remain..."; // we will never see this
setTimeout(_ => blockFor(2000), 0);      // 0ms is not enough

In fact, it seems what you want is requestAnimationFrame:

function blockFor(dur){
  var now = new Date().getTime();
  while (new Date().getTime() < now + dur);
  result.textContent = "I am done..!";
}
result.textContent = "Please remain..."; // now you see me
new Promise(function(resolve) {
  requestAnimationFrame(_ => resolve(2000));
}).then(blockFor);

But at this point you could use requestAnimationFrame alone, without promises.

function blockFor(dur){
  var now = new Date().getTime();
  while (new Date().getTime() < now + dur);
  result.textContent = "I am done..!";
}
result.textContent = "Please remain..."; // now you see me
requestAnimationFrame(_ => blockFor(2000));

A: Best way to do it is to delegate the heavy process to a web worker...
// main thread

document.getElementById("result").addEventListener('click', handleClick);
const worker = new Worker('worker.js');

function handleClick(){
  worker.onmessage = e => {
   console.log('main', e.data.response)
   this.textContent = e.data.response;
  }
  this.textContent = "Please remain...";
  worker.postMessage({data: 2000});
}

// worker

self.addEventListener('message', e => {
    const { data } = e.data;
    console.log('worker', data);

    function blockFor(dur){
     var now = new Date().getTime();
     while (new Date().getTime() < now + dur);
     }

    blockFor(data)
    self.postMessage({ response: "I am done..!" });
});

  // NOTE: perform this test on your app for browser compatibility
  if (window.Worker) {
  ...

}
