For me, adventure is what I live for. I remember once staying in a hotel in Puno on Lake Titicaca and an entry caught my eye in the guest book. It was a quotation from St Augustine - "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." That summarises my whole approach to life. When I was in the throes of setting up my financial consultancy many years ago, I sat down with my wife to ensure she was supportive of the idea. What were we going to gain through me running my own business? Oddly enough, the objective we agreed was never financial. If I was going to set up my own business, I wanted to achieve something I couldn't possibly attain by working for somebody else. I wanted to be in a position where we could take twelve weeks holiday a year in the not too distant future. That would provide ample opportunities for us to explore this exciting world we live in. Within two years we had achieved our goal. All we then had to do is decide how to fill the time.
The great thing about adventure is it consumes you. The day to day trivia that fills our lives becomes insignificant; worries disappear; it is the ultimate emotional detox. And that's why our family holidays have always been built around adventure. Whether it's rock climbing in the Italian Dolomites, wending our way in dugout canoes through rapids to see Angel Falls drop one full kilometre into the Venezuelan jungle, or climbing a live volcano in Indonesia to watch the sun rise over the Indian Ocean, these are all adventures that have created memories that will stay with my wife and children forever.
Unfortunately, most adventures have a price tag attached to them; and that's where finance comes in. If you want to have adventures, in most cases you're going to need money to pay for them. Indeed, going out to work is the first stage of your adventure.
Don't begrudge the weekly grind; commuting and working. These are the days that can make adventures happen. My view - every day is part of a bigger adventure!
Savings accounts can damage your financial health!
I've never made that connection before - but you're right. I wonder if I could create a challenge around money and adventure. I wonder if we could do whole dossier on how to use money to make you feel rich on every level?
Sounds like an interesting (and potentially rewarding) challenge. If you'd like to progress this further, do let me know.

Special Tribunal for Lebanon Hands Down Historic Verdict on Hariri Assassination Charges
By Arthur Traldi
Thursday, August 20, 2020, 12:09 PM
Flowers at a memorial for former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. (https://tinyurl.com/yxjtl5jj; CC BY 2.0)
After 13 years of work, the Trial Chamber of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) on Aug. 19 issued a long-awaited judgment on the case it was primarily established to hear: the prosecution of several alleged Hezbollah members for a bombing in Beirut on Valentine's Day 2005 that killed the former prime minister of Lebanon, Rafik Hariri, and 21 others and wounded more than 200 people.
The judgment was initially scheduled to be delivered in May but was delayed twice—first due to the coronavirus pandemic and second as a gesture of solidarity for the victims of the massive explosion in Beirut on Aug. 5, which devastated the city.
The Trial Chamber summarized its findings about the crime that gave rise to this case at the beginning of the public pronouncement of its judgment:
1. Just before 13:00 on Monday 14 February 2005, the former prime minister of Lebanon, Mr Rafik Hariri, was travelling in his convoy in Beirut between the Lebanese Parliament and his home, Quraitem Palace.
2. As it approached the St Georges Hotel, near the coast, a massive explosion was detonated. Mr Hariri was killed in the blast. Twenty-one others, including eight members of Mr Hariri's convoy, and innocent bystanders, also died. Three of the victims died after the explosion, two on the following day, and the third, the Lebanese MP, Mr Bassel Fuleihan, succumbed after lying in a coma for two months.
3. At least another 226 people were injured, some very seriously. People passing in the street and working in nearby buildings sustained terrible injuries. Many buildings were badly damaged.
4. The explosion was triggered by a suicide bomber in a Mitsubishi Canter—a light tarpaulin covered truck, loaded with more than two tonnes of RDX high-grade explosives—that detonated as Mr Hariri's heavily protected six vehicle convoy passed the St Georges Hotel. The explosives had the equivalent of 2,500 to 3,000 kilograms of TNT. The explosion left a crater in the road over ten metres wide and almost two metres deep.
The reaction to the bombing catalyzed a cascade of social movements and political shake-ups in Lebanon. More than a quarter of Lebanon's population attended demonstrations, now called the Cedar Revolution, to demand Syrian withdrawal and an independent, international investigation into Hariri's assassination. Two weeks after the blast, the pro-Syrian Lebanese prime minister resigned; less than three months later, all official Syrian forces withdrew from the country. On Aug. 17, Beth Van Schaak detailed the process that took us from the immediate aftermath of the crime to a hybrid tribunal. As she notes, the U.N. Security Council immediately formed an independent investigative commission to probe the bombing. After a request by the Lebanese government to establish a tribunal "of an international character" and despite Lebanon's failure to ratify an agreement with the Security Council establishing the tribunal, the Security Council passed a resolution establishing the STL pursuant to its authority under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter. The tribunal's statute endowed it with jurisdiction over the assassination of Prime Minister Hariri, the harm to other victims of the attack, and "other attacks that occurred in Lebanon between 1 October 2004 and 12 December 2005, or any later date decided by the Parties and with the consent of the Security Council, [that] are connected in accordance with the principles of criminal justice and are of a nature and gravity similar to the attack of 14 February 2005."
There are a few factors that make the STL stand out: its establishment by Chapter VII after an incomplete agreement between the Security Council and the Lebanese government; its use of trials in absentia, consistent with Lebanese law; its particular definition of the crime of terrorism under international law; its detailed use of electronic evidence from cell phones, including geolocation evidence; and its reliance on the historic analytical work of a Lebanese intelligence officer, Wissam Eid (who died in a car bombing himself shortly after sharing his work with the United Nations), which laid the foundation for the use of that evidence and the eventual case.
The first indictments in the Hariri case were filed in January 2011. In-court trial proceedings began in January 2014, and the parties presented closing arguments in September 2018. During the trial, the judges heard the evidence of almost 300 witnesses and admitted more than 3,000 exhibits into evidence. The judges noted in the summary of the Trial Chamber's judgment that the case against the defendants was almost entirely circumstantial: Only one element of the case against one of four accused was based on direct evidence, and the judges found that evidence unreliable. Essentially, this left the prosecutors and judges to assemble a jigsaw puzzle with 3,000 pieces and then prove that there was no other reasonable way that the puzzle could be assembled.
What Did the Judges Find?
In an extensive and detailed judgment (the summary alone is almost 150 pages long, with 673 footnotes), the Trial Chamber unanimously convicted Salim Ayyash of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act, committing a terrorist act, intentional homicide and attempted intentional homicide for participating in a conspiracy to assassinate Hariri. The chamber unanimously acquitted three other defendants.
Perhaps aware of the likely controversy any verdict would provoke in Lebanon and the region, the judges took pains to explain their findings and reasoning. The public pronouncement of the judgment took more than four hours of court time to deliver—more than the combined time spent reading the two public judgment summaries for which I was in court at the nearby International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The chamber explained its weighing of evidence in detail, at times noting that it was finding a fact was more likely than not to be true, but could not find that the fact was true beyond a reasonable doubt and so could not use it as a basis to convict.
Much public attention during the lengthy reading of the judgment summary centered around what the judges found about individuals who were not charged in the case. For example, a Reuters headline reported, "Lebanon trial judge: no evidence of involvement by Hezbollah leadership in Hariri's killing." Others noted the attention the judgment paid to findings about the role of Mustafaa Badreddine—a relative of Ayyash's who had initially been charged but died during the trial, after which the Appeals Chamber terminated the proceedings against him. The Trial Chamber explicitly found it was "not satisfied" that he masterminded the attack, as the prosecution had initially charged.
But at least regarding the conspiracy issue, the judgment appears somewhat more nuanced than the headlines suggest. The Trial Chamber held that "[t]here is no evidence that the Hezbollah leadership had any involvement in Mr Hariri's murder and there is no direct evidence of Syrian involvement in it." Yet it nonetheless found a conspiracy to assassinate Hariri; found that conspiracy most likely involved members of a single organization; found Ayyash was part of the conspiracy; found Ayyash was a Hezbollah supporter; found Syria and Hezbollah had motives to remove Hariri from the Lebanese political scene; and found that the decision to commit the crime was made in the two weeks preceding the bombing, noting in that regard statements by Hariri and a group of opposition leaders who met at the Bristol Hotel, opposing Syrian involvement in Lebanon. In essence, the judges communicated that they think there are good reasons to think Syria and/or Hezbollah were responsible. There just wasn't evidence available in this trial to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
There will likely be appeals of both the conviction and the acquittals, and one connected case is about to commence proceedings at the tribunal. Voices in Lebanon and elsewhere expressed frustration with the cost of the process and its limited results. In the United States, the State Department—while welcoming Ayyash's conviction—noted that "Hezbollah operatives do not freelance," suggesting the tribunal should have been able to attribute responsibility further up the chain of command. Some international criminal law experts agreed, and Marlise Simons and Ben Hubbard of the New York Times remarked that the tribunal "failed to answer even the most basic question: Who ordered the killing?" Others suggested that the ruling showed that international criminal law might be ill suited for terrorism cases.
The legacy of the tribunal will depend on how the 2,600-page judgment withstands appellate and historical scrutiny. But observers can draw some initial lessons.
First, the case depended heavily on high-tech evidence derived from cell phones, and the judgment reserves well over 1,000 pages to setting out principles for the evaluation of such evidence, analyzing attempts to show particular persons had control over particular cell phones, and establishing the functioning of the networks of cell phone users alleged by the prosecution. Technological evidence of this sort is a treasure trove for investigators and prosecutors: In recent years, observers have seen emphasis on cell phone or other electronic records by the United Nations Investigative Team to Promote Accountability for Crimes Committed by Da'esh (UNITAD), U.S. Supreme Court litigation holding that cell location evidence is protected by the Fourth Amendment, an International Criminal Court arrest warrant based heavily on social media evidence, litigation in American court to require Facebook to turn over records to facilitate investigations into allegations of atrocities by authorities in Myanmar against Rohingya Muslims, as well as the use of similar evidence in courts around the world.
The court's detailed treatment of this evidence—and eventual conviction of Ayyash—illustrates its upside. But technological evidence isn't a magic bullet. This is exemplified by the acquittals of the other defendants, and the lack of clear findings on who controlled any of the other cell phones in the various networks that the court found coordinated the surveillance and eventual assassination of Hariri. In many instances, this type of evidence is incredibly valuable circumstantial evidence and can significantly accelerate investigations, but prosecutors will often need to find and adduce additional contextual or direct evidence before a fact-finder is willing to find that the inculpatory inferences raised by technological evidence are the only reasonable ones. Based on the perpetrator groups under suspicion, the prosecution in this case likely faced massive challenges collecting evidence that could build on the cell records and assist the Trial Chamber in drawing the necessary inferences.
Second, the case highlights that international criminal trials are not cheap or brief—even when the defendants are charged with carrying out only one crime. Simple charges and uncontroversial processes rarely give rise to the need for an international court. While the Hariri case may have been an extreme example, there are generally no shortcuts to justice in complex cases.
Third, the discussion of whether any more senior figures than Ayyash could or should have been identified in the judgment illustrates a constant question about how far such high-profile cases should go beyond adjudicating the responsibility of specific defendants. Regardless, in this instance, it should not come as a great surprise that any particular individuals against whom the prosecution chose not to bring charges were not proved responsible.
Finally, the timing of the judgment is a reminder that transitional justice processes must work for the societies they aim to serve. The judgment comes at another challenging moment for Lebanon, in the aftermath of an explosion that killed well over 100 people and devastated Beirut. So far, despite public frustrations, reactions to the verdict in Lebanon have been peaceful. The international community must support peaceful reactions to the verdict and help maintain stability even as it helps Lebanon rebuild from its most recent tragedy.

What is fashion contemporary history subject without another exhibition of one of the most influential fashion brand , Yves Saint Laurent.
The place was designed conservatively in a hall that provides photos and some short stories describing itself. I didn't really get to cover all of the story, but thankfully I had my mentor who was explaining the journey because she's been here more than twice.
the exhibition told the overall of YSL journey, since the black and white era until now. When fashion show was just simple with the audiences possessing their seats and the ability to touch the models.
It was worth the time, knowing I had another class miles away after the exhibition.

Q: How to rank up in perfect dark In the combat simulator in Perfect Dark N64, how do you rank up from rank 21 to rank 1?

A: I've investigated more about this question. It seems you start at rank 21 and go down to 1.  Seems backwards in today's video game industry.
Since you asked how to get to level 1 (Perfection rank), here are the requirements I found on another website:

*

*Kills:    18,000

*Damage Dealt: 180,000

*Ammo Used:    450,000

*Distance: 9000 km

*Time: 12:12:00 (12 days, 12 hours, 0 minutes)

*Games Won: 900

*Accuracy Medals:  900

*Head Shot Medals: 900

*Killmaster Medals:    900

*Survivor Medals: 900
Goodluck! Seems like it will take a while.

Tirana is a relatively young city. But despite this, it is surrounded by castles and ruins. Even in its very centre, visitors can see the walls of Tirana castle. And as you leave the city, in each direction there is at least one castle. The most preserved are those of Petrela and Preza, with the others in ruins. Each is a guide to the history of the Albanians. In addition to their historical and cultural values, these castles, not surprisingly as most are situated on top of beautiful hills, offer great panoramas across the capital and beyond.

No question: Jack Johnson / Jim Jeffries, Reno, Nevada, 1910!

1996 Jaguar XK8 Coupé Geneva Motor Show Car
This vehicle is on display in the Jaguar Gallery at Coventry Transport Museum
This blue coupé is a pre-production car, and was exhibited by Jaguar at the 1996 Geneva Motor Show which saw the launch of the XK8. It was dramatically revealed from a crate (seen above the car in the picture) as part of the press conference, reminiscent of the E-type reveal that also took place in Geneva some 35 years earlier! The XK8 stayed in production until 2005 when it was replaced by the new XK. Over the period of ten years, more than 90,000 of the XK8 and XKR models were manufactured.
The XK8 sports car (sometimes referred to by its product code of X100) was the replacement for the XJS which had been in production for twenty-one years. The new XK8 was a typical Jaguar, combining tradition with innovation. The inspiration for the elegant design clearly came from the style of classic Jaguar sports cars of the past, notably the E-type of the 1960s, but interpreted in a modern manner. The car was styled by Fergus Pollock, working under the late Geoff Lawson. The Project Director was the engineer Bob Dover, who went on to become Jaguar's Chairman.
Under the bonnet lay the first Jaguar V8 engine. Although the Daimler sister marque had made some excellent V8s in the 1960s, and a Jaguar V8 design had been under consideration at the same time, this was the first Jaguar car to be fitted with this type of engine. As used in the XK8, capacity was originally 4 litres, which was later increased to 4.2 litres. The AJ8 engine was of all-aluminium construction, with two overhead camshafts per bank and 32 valves producing 290bhp.
In 1998 a supercharger was fitted on the XKR version, even more powerful at 370bhp, although the top speed of both models was identical, limited to 155 mph (250 km/h). Both the XK8 and XKR were available in coupé and convertible form. They made a significant impact in the world market for luxury sports cars, with most of the production being exported, especially to the USA.

Thought I'd share some of my 'behind the scenes' secrets to the bicycle photos.
Anyone can take photos like this, using the trick of 'forced perspective'.
You just have to get down on the ground and shoot at the doll's eye level.
Well done in getting right down! And neat trick about the blanket......I use a small foam sit mat to take photos like this.Your way sounds tons better than mine.


Coughing – Frequent coughing fits combined with wheezing can be an indicator of heart failure. You may also experience bloody phlegm when you cough.
Restrictive Feelings – The feeling of being suffocated or having your upper torso squeeze tightly is a common symptom of a heart attack.
Jaw Pain – Pain in the lower jaw is a common symptom of a heart attack. Try moving your jaw around. If the pain worsens due to movement than it's probably due to joint pain, not heart related. However if you move it around and there is no change to the pain and it's also accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating and discomfort in your body then seek help.
Dizziness – Heart attacks often start with dizziness and the feeling of being lightheaded. You may not associate these feelings with heart attack because you're expecting more dramatic symptoms.
Shortness of Breath – This is a sign that your heart is in distress. It may not be a heart attack, but no matter what if you're suddenly short of breath, you should seek help.
Racing Heart – If your heart is struggling and needs to work overtime it will begin to race, which is a good indication that something may be wrong.
Indigestion – This isn't a common symptom and most people don't know that it can be connected to a heart attack. Indigestion alone obviously doesn't lead to heart attack, but if it's accompanied by pain, nausea and shortness of breath, you should seek medical attention.
Fatigue – We're not talking about generally feeling tired. But rather fatigue that comes on suddenly and for no apparent reason. It may come right away or a few days prior to your heart attack. If may also arrive with chest or jaw pain. If you experience unexplained exhaustion contact your doctor.
Profuse Sweating – If you start sweating profusely and you're not hot and didn't just finish a workout and it starts soaking through your clothes, your heart might be in distress and you could need help – especially if you begin looking pale.
Chest Pain/Pressure – This is the most obvious. Any pain or pressure in the chest that goes on for longer than a minute is cause for concern, especially if sitting down or resting doesn't make it go away. Don't delay in getting help.


This is a simple plugin that will allow an admin to select exactly which Post types eShop should handle – adding custom types and/or removing default ones (page, and post).

How do I make [eshop_list_cat_tags] find my products that are under a Custom Taxonomy?
Long Answer: Let's say you have a store and that you don't want to mix up your products and product categories with your Posts/Pages/Categories. You decide to create your own custom post type and also a custom taxonomy called "Product Categories" (with the slug "product-categories"), and then create a new product category called "My Cool Category" (with the slug my-cool-category).
Out of the box, eShop will not find your products if you try to use [eshop_list_cat_tags type="category_name" find="my-cool-category-name"]. The fix is to install this plugin, select your Custom Taxonomy, and save the settings.
You will then be able to call [eshop_list_cat_tags type="product-categories" find="my-cool-category"].

Die Erlöserkirche ist ein evangelisches Kirchengebäude in Wałbrzych (dt. Waldenburg/Niederschlesien).

Geschichte und Bauwerk

Die evangelische Erlöserkirche in Waldenburg wurde in den Jahren 1785 bis 1788 nach dem Entwurf von Carl Gotthard Langhans errichtet. Die Kirche gehört der Evangelisch-Augsburgischen Kirche in Polen, der Breslauer Diözese. Die Bauarbeiten wurden am 8. August 1785 begonnen und am 24. November 1788 beendet. Das alte kleine Kirchengebäude aus der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde vorher abgebrochen, nur die Orgel aus dem Jahr 1746 von Johann Georg Neßling wurde in die neue Kirche eingebaut.

Das Kirchengebäude steht auf einem rechteckigen Grundriss (39 × 22 m); der quadratische Glockenturm an der Westfassade steht auf einem 8 × 14 m großen Sockel mit einer mächtigen, auf zwei Säulen ruhenden Bogenarkade. Der Turm ist mit vier Ecktürmchen gekrönt, die achteckige Gloriole trägt eine hohe Turmspitze. Die drei Emporen bilden einen ovalen Innenraum. Die ebenfalls ovale Kuppel ruht auf Säulen mit ionischen Kapitellen.

Die Kirche wurde 1862–1865 renoviert, der Glockenturm umgebaut.

Die Kirche wurde am 25. Januar 1964 in das Verzeichnis der Baudenkmäler unter der Nr. A/4622/1052 eingetragen.

Orgel
Die Orgel wurde im Jahre 1913 von der Orgelbaufirma Schlag & Söhne in einem vorhandenen Orgelgehäuse von Johann Georg Neßling aus der alten Kirche (1746) eingebaut. 1996 wurde die Orgel durch die Breslauer Firma Szydłowski renoviert. Das Kegelladen-Instrument hat 47 Register auf drei Manualwerken und Pedal. Die Trakturen sind pneumatisch.

 Koppeln: II/I, III/I, III/II, I/P, II/P, III/P; III/I und III/III als Sub- und Superoktavkoppeln

Named Insured vs. Additional Insured
July 30, 2014 /in News /by Carol LaCombe
Presented by Mike Regan
In insurance parlance, a Named Insured is the person, or organization in whose name an insurance policy is written. Typically, it is the person or organization that has paid for the policy.
Additional Insureds are other organizations that have been automatically added by the terms & conditions of the policy or by specific endorsement of the policy. An example of an automatic Additional Insured would be a Named Insureds real estate manager. These automatic Additional Insureds can be found in the "Who Is An Insured" section of the policy. Anyone other than these would need to be specifically added as an Additional Insured.
Additional Insureds have coverage as a result of the actions of and business relationship with the Named Insured. Additional Insureds that are not automatically added have to be listed on a separate Additional Insured endorsement to the policy. The endorsement may include a premium charge.
The most typical situation we see for an Additional Insured status is when a Subcontractor needs to add a General Contractor to his policy or when a General Contractor has to add a job Owner to his policy. In addition, not all Additional Insured endorsements are the same. Carriers frequently have their own proprietary forms. Some restrict coverage by time or for premises/operations only and do not include completed operations. As such, it is important that you and your broker review these forms for accuracy and compliance.

ACA Breaking News
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit has dealt a serious blow to the Obama Administration today with a decision that calls into question the structural integrity of the "pay-or-play" mandates under the Affordable Care Act ("ACA").
The plain language of the Affordable Care Act states individuals purchasing coverage from a state exchange are eligible for the federal subsidy. The ACA, on its face, does not provide for a subsidy on the federal exchanges. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) addressed this in May 2012 through a regulation, providing that an individual could obtain a subsidy if he or she "is enrolled in one or more qualified health plans through an Exchange." In the same regulation, the IRS defined an exchange to include both state and federal exchanges. In other words, the IRS sought, by regulation rather than by amending the law, to clarify that the ACA provides the subsidy on both state and federal exchanges.
What Does This Mean To Employers:
This is significant to employers because one of the triggers for assessment of a penalty against an employer under the ACA is that a full-time employee has obtained subsidized coverage on an exchange. Any employer based in a state with federally-run exchanges could be free from the employer mandate ($2,000 and $3,000 penalties effective in 2015). This applies to a majority of the states across the country and could have an even greater impact on the enforceability of the ACA.
What Does This Mean for Your Planning Under the ACA:
This is far from the final word on this issue and just 2 hours later, a Richmond, VA appeals court reached the opposite decision and upheld the IRS rule stating the law covers both state and federally run exchange subsidies. The decision could be reviewed by the full DC Circuit Appellate Court, which has a majority (seven) of its active judges appointed by Democratic presidents and four appointed by Republicans. It may eventually be decided by the US Supreme Court, but that may be a long way off. There is also a chance that this could result in overdue bi-partisan discussions in Congress to address this and other ACA issues. At this point, however, it is clear that at least one high-level federal court has suggested that the entire pay–or-play approach may be in jeopardy in a majority of states.
Unfortunately for employers, it is likely that your renewal planning and implementing the benefits program in time for the start of your 2015 plan year might have to continue without clear direction if the employer mandate will be enforced if you are in a state with a federally run Exchange. The Obama administration stated it will appeal the decision and said people would continue to receive the subsidies during the appeal, which is the only way an employer would receive a penalty.
Background on the Court Decision:
In Halbig v. Burwell, the Appeals Court for the District of Columbia Circuit, sitting in Washington, DC, sided with the plaintiffs and against the Obama Administration today when it held that the ACA, by its terms, does not allow for subsidies for individual coverage in exchanges established by the federal government. This means that, at least according to this court, individuals purchasing insurance coverage on the federally-run exchanges will not be eligible for federal subsidies when they purchase insurance.
In Halbig, the plaintiffs challenged the IRS's ability as a regulator to, in the plaintiffs' perspective, rewrite the statute. The district court agreed with the Obama Administration, finding that the context of the ACA supported the IRS's clarification. The appellate court disagreed, however. In a 2-1 decision, the appeals court found that there was no basis to support the contextual reading and effectively found that the IRS had exceeded its regulatory authority.

Service Contract Act (SCA) Prevailing Wage Increase
Effective July 22, 2014 the new Health and Welfare Fringe Benefit Rates increased to $4.02 per hour. Please click here to read the All Agency Memorandum.
The new rate of $4.02 per hour (up from last year's $3.81 per hour) is required in all government contract bids or other service contracts awarded on or after July 22, 2014. A special rate of $1.66 per hour is set for Hawaii (up from last year's $1.55 per hour).
Solicitations/Contracts Affected
All invitations for bids opened or other service contracts awarded on or after July 22, 2014, must include the new fringe benefit via an updated Wage Determination (WD).
For contracts beginning on or after July 22, 2014, contracting agencies are directed to make pen-and-ink changes to the current WD received for the contract for which the updated fringe benefit rate was not included.
For all other contracts (not those awarded or starting after July 22, 2014), revised WDs reflecting the new fringe benefit rate will be available at the Wage Determination OnLine website (www.wdol.gov). The new rate will go into effect on the anniversary date (annually, or every two years for non-appropriated funds contracts) or option renewal/modification date of these contracts — whichever date for a particular contract triggers incorporation of a new WD by the contracting agency.
The obligation to pay employees prevailing wages and benefits in compliance with the SCA requirements falls to contractors and subcontractors, who are jointly and severally liable for any violations. However, it is the contracting agency's legal obligation to provide correct and updated WDs to the prime contractor, and the prime's responsibility to flow-down updated WDs to their subcontractors.
Government contractors should check routinely to determine if new WDs have been provided to them by contracting agencies (or, in the case of subcontractors, by their prime contractor) by incorporation into their contracts. If the agency has not provided an updated WD as required, contractors should request that the agency do so and be sure to document their compliance efforts.
At Cleary, we know how important a comprehensive benefits package can be to your continued success. Give us a call today at 617-723-0700 and we will work with you to create a plan that meets your fringe-benefit obligations and provides your employees with valuable benefits.

The Employee vs. The Independent Contractor
Business owners may not understand when to classify an individual as an employee versus an independent contractor. Proper classification of a worker as an independent contractor may save a company money and benefits, such as group health insurance. However misclassification can result in significant liability.
Employers are often tempted to classify workers as Independent Contractors because they don't have to pay the employer share of taxes or provide benefits to those workers. The Affordable Care Act's (ACA) upcoming employer mandate makes this type of arrangement even more tempting. Under the employer mandate, which will go into effect in 2015, employers with 50 or more full-time or full-time equivalent employees will have to provide healthcare insurance to at least 95% of their full-time workforce or face fines. Even if they provide coverage, they could be fined if that coverage does not meet the ACA's standards.
Who is counted as an "employee"
Under the common-law standard, an individual is an employee if a legal employer and employee relationship exists. Generally, that relationship exists when the company "has the right to control and direct the individual" regarding "the details and means by which" the individual's work is performed for the company. There are several factors that are considered under the common-law standard, including the right to discharge, the furnishing of workspace or tools, the source of the individual's employment wages, etc. The determination depends on the particular facts and circumstances of the relationship.
Ultimately, the determination of whether an individual is an employee or independent contractor is based on a holistic analysis of the relationship between the business professional and the company. It should be noted that just because a company classifies and pays a business professional as an independent contractor, it does not always mean that the business professional is truly an independent contractor under the law. Courts typically focus on the substance of the relationship over its form.
The rules tell us little more than that an employer's ACA obligations extend to every person who is its "common law employee." For health care reform, "employee" is defined using the common-law standard found in 26 CFR § 31-3401(C)-1(b). The IRS uses a 20-factor "right to control" test to determine whether a common law employment relationship exists. No one factor determines the result, but if an employer can tell a worker what to do, when to do it and how to do it, then, generally speaking, the worker is that employer's common law employee.
What is an independent contractor?
An independent contractor, also known as a 1099 contractor, refers to a worker who contracts their services out to a business or businesses. An independent contractor is considered to be self-employed, not an employee of the business or businesses with which they work. "1099" refers to the IRS form that an independent contractor must receive to state their income from any given business in a given tax year.
Misclassification of an individual as an independent contractor may have a number of costly legal consequences.
If your independent contractor is discovered to meet the legal definition of an employee, you may be required to:
Reimburse them for wages you should've paid them under the Fair Labor Standards Act, including overtime and minimum wage
Pay back taxes and penalties for federal and state income taxes, Social Security, Medicare and unemployment.
Pay any misclassified injured employees workers' compensation benefits
Provide employee benefits, including health insurance, retirement, etc.
Pay ACA penalties if the misclassification results in increasing the number of employees to 50 or more.
Penalty and Claim Examples
The California Legislature enacted Senate Bill 459, which imposes hefty fines for each "willful misclassification" of a worker. The penalties are not less than $5,000, nor more than $15,000 for each violation of the statute. Employers may also face penalties ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 for each violation if the employer engaged in a "pattern or practice" of such misclassification.
In May 2014, Lowe's agreed to pay $6.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit that accused the company of misclassifying over 4,000 installers, and hundreds of businesses, as independent contractors.
Defining Employee for Health Care Reform
If an IRS audit reveals that an employer misclassified workers and reclassifying those workers as W-2 employees puts the employer over the 50-employee threshold, they could be subject to the fine for failing to offer healthcare coverage. That fine is $2,000 per full-time employee if even one employee obtains insurance through The Marketplace with government subsidies. If they do offer coverage, but that coverage doesn't meet the ACA's standards for minimum coverage and affordability, the employer could pay $3,000 for each employee who goes to The Marketplace for coverage and obtains a government subsidy.
The info graphic, embedded below, created by payroll software company ZenPayroll, provides a flowchart to walk you through determining whether you need to be classifying a worker as an employee or a contractor.
Assumptions to Avoid in Classifying Workers
A hiring firm should not assume it is safe to classify a worker as an independent contractor simply because:
The worker wanted, or asked, to be treated as an independent contractor
The worker signed a contract
The worker does assignments sporadically, inconsistently, or is on call.
The worker is paid commission only
The worker does assignments for more than one company.
IRS Form SS-8 can be used to request a determination of the status of a particular individual. The IRS will use the information provided on the form, as well as any other information that can be obtained from the parties involved to determine whether an individual is covered under the payroll tax laws. The IRS determination does not necessarily indicate worker classification under other employment-related laws.
It is important for businesses to understand difference between and employee vs. independent contractor, especially in today's ACA climate. Correctly classifying workers before they perform services can save a business confusion, difficulties, and possible fines down the road.
At Cleary, we know how important a comprehensive benefits package can be to your continued success. Give us a call today at 617-723-0700 and we will work with you to create a plan that meets your business objectives, takes into account state and federal laws, and capitalizes on incentives and innovative solutions now being offered.

Toast is a Weird and Wild Ride at Catastrophic Theatre
Natalie de la Garza
Houston Press
NATALIE DE LA GARZA | APRIL 14, 2019 | 11:50AM
Leave it to the Catastrophic Theatre to throw a critic into an existential crisis.
Catastrophic is no stranger to risk-taking, or staging WTF moments, and Toast, a world premiere straight from the minds of director Brian Jucha and the ensemble over at Catastrophic, offers both in abundance.
Toast marks Jucha's triumphant return to Houston and completes the trilogy started with Last Rites (premiered in 1997) and We Have Some Planes(premiered in 2002), both created with Catastrophic predecessor Infernal Bridegroom Productions. Jucha collaborated with members of the Catastrophic Theatre to create Toast, and to be a fly on that wall.
Unconcerned with narrative, Toast begins with a man lamenting love never received and from there, as they say, life happens. In the program, Jucha says Toast is structured as a descent through Dante's nine circles of hell, and at the very least the production itself does feel like a 90-minute trip into limbo, a place where anything and everything seemingly exists simultaneously as you wait for whatever comes next. It includes reminiscences of relationships, meaningful moments, and countless pop culture references pulled from all throughout a person's life cycle.
Though the show promises text ripped straight from the headlines, it's more so ripped straight from various transcriptions. Large swathes of dialogue come straight from R. Kelly's now infamous interview with Gayle King, the Brett Kavanaugh hearing, Michael Cohen's congressional testimony, Leaving Neverland and the classic sci-fi horror film Alien. It, Clarence Thomas, and childhood game Operation also make appearances, among other things. The political, social, and (pop)cultural references come fast and furious, and if it sounds like music isn't well-represented, you're wrong.
Together, Tim Thomson (sound design) and Miriam Daly (music arrangement) have crafted quite the aural landscape, which does include its share of recognizable tunes employed in interesting and curious ways. Instrumentals that range from menacing to rousing reside alongside songs like "It's a Hard Knock Life" or "Bad Romance." And don't be mistaken, the cast also sing and dance. In one memorable moment, Kyle Sturdivant sings a mesmerizingly melancholy rendition of "I'm A Lonely Little Petunia (In an Onion Patch)" while surrounded by about three dozen pink, plastic flamingos.
Jucha leads a cast of eight centered around Sturdivant, who plays a character (also named Kyle) that is in turns vulnerable and defiant. Much is asked of each cast member and it's safe to say they all deliver in all the roles they embody. Notably, Xzavien Hollins and Jeanne Harris stand out in a haunting recount of their abduction by aliens as Barney and Betty Hill, as do Noel Bowers as an antagonistic judge, and Karina Pal Montaño-Bowers and Troy Schulze as ill-fated space travelers. Sturdivant, Hollins, and Amy Bruce (who also spit some serious if nonsensical Latin fire as a lawyer) are also achingly earnest during their solo monologues. But in maybe its crowning achievement on first watch, Toast offers something you never knew you needed: Tamarie Cooper as R. Kelly, bringing to life today's most topical meltdown – with a Southern accent.
One aspect of the production that must be singled out is the lighting design. A quick peek up at the ceiling before show time revealed the dense network of lights designer Roma Flowers would be utilizing for the production. Using seemingly every color of the rainbow to great effect, Flowers's complex design of static and roving spotlights, shadowy and stark landscapes, and bright pops of color certainly steals the show in its own way. It's also perfect to illuminate the multitude of prop designer Lauren Davis's seemingly random assortment of items – including but not limited to lemons, a troll doll, a plastic mouth opener, an umbrella, hourglasses of various sizes and, of course, a toaster.
If it sounds weird, well, it is. But Toast is more than just weird. (Though I will say that when it comes to works borrowing from Dante's nine circles of hell, the comic series L'Inferno di Topolino – staring the one and only Mickey Mouse – sets a high bar for weird that Jucha and co. safely clear.) To say Toast defies explanation is a clichéd understatement. Watching Toast is like trying to traverse unstable ground – just when you think you're safe to shuffle a few feet forward a David Bowie number comes along to knock you back down. It's "Boys Keep Swinging" if you're curious.
The majority of theater produced each season leaves little room for interpretation. Sure, you may leave with food for thought, or you may leave ready to debate your friends about whether or not you agreed with a show's point of view. But so rarely is a production so full of meaning and yet so very ambiguous. The thing is, art by its very nature is subjective, but only in trying to analyze a work like Toast, does that fact hit you in the face. There is something undeniably enjoyable and compelling about Toast, like there's something undeniably enjoyable and compelling about watching the entire cast line up to sing "The Court of King Caractacus" for a couple of minutes, even if you can't really glean why. (Yes, that happens, too.)
The program playfully warns not to ask about the flamingos. But the truth is, with all the questions Toast raises, that's the one that's going to keep me up tonight. What the heck was going on with all those flamingos?
Performances continue at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2:30 p.m. Sundays at The MATCH, 3400 Main. For more information, please call 713-521-4533 or visit catastrophictheatre.com. Pay-what-you-can; suggested price $40.


More than 144 persons suffered Legionnaires' Disease as a result of their exposure to Legionella while attending the Melbourne Aquarium between 8 and 27 April 2000. This disease is serious and caused the death of several people and severe injuries to many others.
On 4 May 2000 Maurice Blackburn issued a class action in the Supreme Court of Victoria which made allegations of negligence against the Melbourne Aquarium, the construction company, mechanical engineers, an air conditioning company and the water treatment company in relation to the maintenance, cleaning, testing, and/or repair of the cooling towers and/or the pumps serving the cooling towers at the Melbourne Aquarium.
The class action was issued on behalf of the Lead Plaintiff, Phyllis Patterson, and other affected persons who suffered loss and damage as a result of their attendance at the Melbourne Aquarium. Following the death of Mrs Patterson in September 2001, the action continued with Hilda Hilton as the Lead Plaintiff.
The trial of the class action was set to commence on 2 February 2004.
The Plaintiff and the Defendants agreed to settle the Class Action on 2 February 2004. On 11 February 2004, the Supreme Court made orders approving the Settlement Agreement.
The Settlement Agreement provides for an assessment of damages for each claimant, subject only to the issue of causation and whether the Claimant is a Group Member. The Defendants admitted that where a Group Member suffered Legionnaires Disease or Legionellosis, the source of the disease was from the cooling towers at the Aquarium.
Most group members received their compensation in June and July 2004.


Thu 7th Feb 2008 Interesting to see Bigpond now has permission to turn on around 900 regional exchanges without having to wholesale the service like they do with normal ADSL.
Thu 7th Feb 2008 And with this, a large percentage of them will not have any added benefits as they will cap the speeds at 8mb.
Just another attempt to make money from the vulnerable.

Dunno, people would be closer to the exchange regionally, so many could get faster than 8mbit through bigpond. Of course it would be better value for them to get an 8mbit plan from any other ISP.
Hopefully those that do join up to Bigpond ADSL2+ don't get a plan with excess charges. The 600MB plan could be very expensive for some people.
Thu 7th Feb 2008 my local exchange has had adsl2+ equipment in it for a while (tel$tra of course). Optus has been trying to gain access to provision there hardware bit tel$tra wont let them in.
So my exchange may very well now be active for Bigpond ADSL2+... Unfortunately, its not an option for me. I'll wait till a WA based ISP is active here. I'd rather keep money in an ISP still located here than tel$tra.

Not yet, I tried contacting Telstra regarding a list and left a message. Hopefully hear back soon.
Wed 13th Feb 2008 About the only way to find out is enter your phone number on bigpond's website. They have ADSL2+ on my exchange but it won't tempt me.
Mon 25th Feb 2008 I reckon that they are going to stall it for as long as they can. Because for each day adsl2 is enable at more exchanges they are losing money because of there highly unreasonable prices.

I don't think so. The prices are reasonable for some regional area's. Telstra wouldn't be losing money with ADSL2+ providers. SSS lines means you still pay line rental, and they would still make money from ULL.
Sat 8th Mar 2008 Telstra has not even enabled ADSL2 at Bald Hills exchange in Brisbane, so its all a bit academic to me.
Right now I can get a better deal and higher speeds on wireless.

Doesn't work too well, or I'm reading it wrong.
If you use this tool, it states if your exchange is ADSL enabled or not, but doesn't indicate if it is ADSL2+ enabled.
The only thing I can think of is to try it again with a known ph number for an ADSL2+ enabled exchange and see what it reports.
OK 10 mins later I checked a Sydney ph number in Carlton and it did report ADSL2+ availability.
So if it reports ADSL then that's all you've got. If it reports ADSL2+ then whoopie!
Looks like I'm on a waiting list and will be forever before ADSL2+ is enabled in our town.
was wondering if we could start adding these to the exchanges or make a list for the different states etc listing the upgraded ones??
Sat 29th Mar 2008 Starting a list is probably a good idea. Maybe create a new thread and people can add exchanges that are enabled.
Wed 23rd Apr 2008 Harry Buttle writes..
Generally ADSL2+ reaches around 2.5KM so if you are more than around 2.5KM from the exchange, you will get faster speeds on uncapped ADSL1 than you will on ADSL2+.
Mon 5th May 2008 I have been trying to get awnsers from telsuck on when adsl2 will hit jimboomba, concidering im 1k from xchange im getting 6.5 meg sec want more.
Thu 12th Jun 2008 Tel$tra are trying to tempt me with an $89 pm offer, Line Rental, ADSL2+, Unlimited Locals, 75c STD.
Not sure what the maximum speed is. One part of the BP Website says yes to ADSL2+, another part just says ADSL.

Government develops 21 health projects
Fredrick KusuDecember 22, 2022 6:21 am
The national Government has developed a total of 21 projects under five programs throughout the country.
Prime Minister, Hon. Manasseh Sogavare revealed in Parliament.
In the primary health care sector, two Area Health Centre projects have been completed, Afio in Malaita and Manuopo in Temotu. Three Staff house Projects for Tingoa, Olevuga and Namuga Area Health Centres are due for completion by the end of this year.
Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare
"Projects for 2022 are three Area Health Centres, namely Tukutaunga clinic (Tikopia), Wagina clinic (Choiseul) and Konide clinic (Isabel)."
The Prime Minister elaborated, contracts to build these clinics have been awarded and payment to mobilise the contractors is in progress and still with the Ministry of Finance and Treasury for payment.
The other New Projects are 4 New Rural Health Clinics (RHC) which are Gounataea (East Fataleka, Malaita), Leona (North Vella), Dedeu (Isabel) and Sulufoloa (Baegu/Asifola, Malaita).
Contract for these 4 Projects have been awarded and signed with mobilisation payment in progress awaiting payment by the Ministry of Finance and Treasury, Prime Minister Sogavare stated.
On Secondary Health Care Services, Prime Minister Sogavare is confident the government will complete the Gizo Hospital, Kilu'ufi Hospital, Taro Hospital and Tulagi redevelopment projects in 2023.
Under the Tertiary Health Care System, the Prime Minister said the CT Scan project had been completed and officially opened.
"Work on the NRH Operating Theatre is still ongoing and should be completed next year. Work on the NRH Comprehensive Medical Centre is ongoing. Eastern end of NRH has been cleared and UXO is currently underway in preparation for ground work on the site."
He further explained, Preliminary expected construction work for the comprehensive medical Centre is to begin second to third quarter 2023.
"…all these projects will provide the necessary Health Services that will serve the mass of our rural population in the country. As you can note, it has been fairly spread guided by the role delineation plan," Prime Minister Sogavare said.
He mentioned while introducing the Sine Die motion in Parliament, this is the first time that the country has meaningfully invested in the tertiary Health Care services.

Q: Excel Data Too large to parse. Execution Time Out I am using laravel and using https://csv.thephpleague.com/ to parse csv.
My function is something like
$path = $request->file('import_file')->getRealPath();
$csv = Reader::createFromPath($path, 'r');
$csv->setHeaderOffset(0);
$csv_header = $csv->getHeader();
$sample_data = $csv->fetchOne();
$sample_data = array_values($sample_data);

$records = $reader->getRecords();
 $csv_file_id = Csv_data::create([
        'csv_filename' => $request->file('import_file')->getClientOriginalName(),
        'csv_header' => json_encode($csv_header),
        'csv_data' => json_encode($records)
    ]);

How can i parse large data sets, by dealing against execution time limit.
Well, am pretty new to these things, so I request just not commenting like use this and that. Up to now time is just passing by trying this and that package. So, solution with code snippets could be better.
Also I tried with,
$stmt = (new Statement())
->offset($offset)
->limit($limit)
;

But with no success. !st reason even limiting offset and running in loop by increasing offset, it shows same error of execution time. 2nd reason, its little difficult for me to end the loop with good logic.
Looking for some help. I will be available for instant reply.

A: Are you using a console command for this?
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/artisan
If you run into memory limits when doing through console, you can first try to increase php memory limit.
If that is still not enough, last option is to cut up .csv into parts.
But this should not be necessary unless you are dealing with a very vert large .csv (unlikely).

A: By default, PHP is usually set to execute a HTTP request for 30 seconds before timing out -- to prevent a runaway script or infinite loop from processing forever.   It sounds like this is what you're running into.
The quick and dirty method is to add ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); at the top of your script.  This will tell php to run for 300 seconds (5 minutes) before timing out.
You can adjust that time as needed, but if it regularly takes longer than that, you may want to look at other options -- such as creating a console command (https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/artisan) or running it on a schedule.

Afghanistan: German Troops Arrive In Northern Afghan City
By Antoine Blua
Despite concentration on the situation in Iraq, the effort to rebuild and stabilize Afghanistan continues in the Middle East. German troops, soon to be in cooperation with NATO are replacing U.S. coalition forces in the northern Afghan town of Konduz.
Prague, 27 October 2003 (RFE/RL) -- An advance team of 27 German troops arrived on 25 October in the northern Afghan town of Konduz to launch the expansion of a NATO-led peacekeeping force beyond the capital Kabul.
German Colonel Kurt Schiebold said the unit will work with local Afghan forces to aid security and reconstruction efforts -- everything from protecting aid workers to rebuilding schools, hospitals, and roads.
"Our main task and our aim is, of course, to cooperate with the Afghan security forces to ensure that there is a safe environment for Afghans, United Nations staff, and members of other international organizations to do reconstruction work and provide humanitarian aid," Schiebold said. "And once we have completed our part of this task we want to return safely."
The troops are replacing a team of U.S. coalition forces working as part of a Provisional Reconstruction Team (PRT), which was created to give coalition troops the ability to operate outside of Kabul without a UN mandate.
The troops are currently under direct German command, but by 1 January they are due to come under the command of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
The UN Security Council earlier this month approved expanding ISAF beyond the capital Kabul, where some 5,000 multinational troops are currently based.
The arrival of the advance German team comes just a day after the German parliament voted to approve their deployment and to extend its troops' ISAF mandate by one year.
Up to 450 German soldiers are expected to be serving outside Kabul by next spring, with Germany contributing a total of 1,800 troops to ISAF.
The deployment has been welcomed by Afghan residents of Konduz. The city, with an ethnically mixed population of Pashtuns, Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Hazaras, is largely free of the factional fighting plaguing other regions of Afghanistan. But as one Konduz resident said, the arrival of the German troops will make the city even more secure.
"The security situation is absolutely fine here, but we want even better security in our city. So it is important that they are coming here," the resident said.
But some aid workers are wondering why peacekeeping troops have been sent first to one of Afghanistan's safest provinces when they are urgently needed in other parts of the country.
"We are concerned with these kinds of initiatives. Putting large numbers of troops in fairly safe areas -- the international community may perceive that as an adequate commitment to Afghanistan's security needs, but actually it's not really adequate. What we need to see is appropriately sized and mandated forces being put in the areas of the county where there are serious security concerns still," said Paul O'Brien, the Afghanistan coordinator for CARE International.
The German deployment comes as Afghan Transitional Administration Chairman Hamid Karzai officially inaugurated the disarmament process in Konduz, where hundreds of armed men handed over their weapons.
Although Konduz has been largely peaceful since the Taliban regime was forced from power in late 2001, the area remains one of the prime drug-producing regions in Afghanistan, the world's largest opium producer.
Fighting the drugs trade is not part of the Germans' mandate. But General Mohammad Daud, the local Afghan military commander, said the German troops will be asked to help fight local opium poppy farming.
Daud told the Agence France Presse news agency, "We don't need them for security, we need them because of opium."

Hi there, I have just bought the theme but my blog posts page is in 2 columns, not 3 as shown in your example site. I've tried customising the post card size which works in that it makes the posts smaller, but still they only include two per row.
Choosing "Masonry" or "3-column grid" will give you 3 columned-layouts. Don't forget to save the settings.
If you like the theme (or the support), I would be really grateful if you could rate it on ThemeForest. This literally takes a moment and helps a lot. Thanks.
Thank you so much! I actually didn't have Theme Options so thought I was going mad but managed to get it on there and change it. One more question, actually two… Contact Form, you have it going across the width of the contact section, I can only get mine to go half way – any tips? And photos, in your blog posts you have really nice image collages… I can't get this to work. When I insert an image they either go one above the other or side by side but left aligned. Is this a collage plug in or something?
Of course I will rate the theme. Thanks for your help!

Rebecca Sjöwall is an American opera singer and recording artist.

Biography
Born in Wisconsin, Sjöwall has a B.A. in Political Science from Luther College and a Master's Degree in Vocal Performance from UCLA She is a two-time District Winner in the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions and was a Studio Artist with Arizona Opera from 2010-2012.

Career
In 2007, Sjöwall won the American Jenny Lind competition sponsored by the Barnum Festival and in cooperation with the Royal Swedish Academy of Music, which led to a concert tour of Sweden. In 2008, she made her professional debut as Micaëla in a West Bay Opera staging of Carmen. She has since appeared with Arizona Opera, Nashville Opera, Opera Idaho, San Francisco Lyric Opera, Festival Opera of Walnut Creek, Pacific Opera Project, and the Sacramento Philharmonic and Opera.

She has performed a variety of roles, including Violetta in La traviata, Contessa Almaviva in The Marriage of Figaro, Pamina in The Magic Flute, Gilda in Rigoletto, Liù in Turandot, the Governess in The Turn of the Screw, Mrs. P in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, and Older Alyce in Glory Denied. She also created the role of Anna Roosevelt Boettiger in the world premiere performances of The First Lady, an opera depicting the days following Franklin D. Roosevelt's death and most recently created the role of Professor Elyn Saks in the world premiere of The Center Cannot Hold, based on the book of the same title.

Naxos released a studio recording of Michael Nyman's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, featuring Sjöwall, Matthew Treviño, and Ryan MacPherson with Dean Williamson conducting the Nashville Opera Orchestra on September 9, 2016. The album was recorded at Ocean Way Nashville, located in the heart of Nashville's Music Row.

In 2019, Sjöwall performed the world premiere of a new musical work for soprano, narrator, and piano entitled Mother's Word. Through monologue and song, Mother's Word focuses on the untold stories of mothers from the Bible, including Eve, Hagar, Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, Naomi, Ruth, Bathsheba, Elizabeth, and Mary, with text written by Marian Partee and music by Christina Whitten Thomas. The premiere took place at La Cañada Presbyterian Church and featured Sjöwall with pianist Aiko Fukushima and director/narrator Tina Tong.

Sjöwall is also an active recording artist and member of The Recording Academy. She is the singer of the "Rapture Anthem" on the popular video game BioShock and has collaborated on several projects with Sparks.

In 2009, Sjöwall was part of the singing cast for the radio musical The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman by Sparks, which premiered on Sveriges Radio and was later released on vinyl and CD. Andy Gill in The Independent gave The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman a maximum rating of 5 stars and included the record among his 20 albums of the year. The world premiere of the live musical took place on June 25, 2011, at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Hollywood. It was hosted by the Los Angeles Film Festival and starred Sparks, Guy Maddin, Peter Franzén as Bergman, Tammy Glover recreating her role as the Hollywood Welcoming Committee, Sjöwall reprising her role as the Hollywood starlet, and Ann Magnuson as Greta Garbo.

Sjöwall appears on the final track of Sparks' album Hippopotamus, which was released by BMG Records on September 8, 2017, and entered the U.K. Album Charts at No. 7.

In the 2021 film Annette, featuring story and music by Sparks, Sjöwall portrays the voice of Connie O'Connor. The film was directed by Leos Carax and stars Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard, and Simon Helberg. Sjöwall is also credited with additional voices in the film and on the Cannes Edition (Selections from the Motion Picture) Soundtrack.

Also in 2021, Sjöwall is the featured score vocalist in Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, a film starring Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo, and Jamie Dornan. The score was written by Christopher Lennertz and Dara Taylor.

Reception
Of Sjöwall's appearance as Micaëla (Carmen), the San Francisco Classical Voice wrote, "she lit up the proceedings with glowing, sweet tone and a radiant persona, which rightfully reaped some of the longest applause of the evening." Her 2009 performance as Gilda in Rigoletto was judged to show "real promise" with an "impressive high E-flat". In addition, her performance in Turandot was lauded as a "lovely and limpid Liù" that was "deeply affecting."

After her role debut with Nashville Opera as Mrs. P in Michael Nyman's The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, ArtsNash declared, "Her climactic singing scream of 'Philistine!' at Dr. S is one of the most electrifying moments I've experienced in more than 40 years of attending live opera and theater performances."

As Older Alyce in Tom Cipullo's Glory Denied with Nashville Opera, "We are lucky to have a singer with so clear a vocal affinity to new music as Rebecca Sjöwall. Her voice just takes to it so easily, I forget she's singing. That's not just because of her several patter passages in Glory Denied, but the natural ease in her vocal precision and her voice' richness give a relatable life to the character. She made me feel for Alyce in a way that the set-up of the narrative discourages." - Tracy Monaghan, Schmopera

In my opinion Todd Cruse is no better than Senator Ford. I've been trying to tell my readers for months that FORBA, Todd Cruse, Michael DeRose, Doral Dental and the whole bunch associated with FORBA are crooks!
I'm looking forward to other senators to get nailed from doing dirty business with FORBA in the near future.
How many children did Small Smiles/FORBA and Doral Dental, who manages the management of FORBA, abuse to give Senator Ford his 1.7 million dollar cut. Let's see, at $220 per baby root canal that's close to 8,000 teeth just for one senator's payoff.
As you can clearly see, FORBA/Small Smiles just can't seem to keep their asses out of the spot light now can they?
Former state Sen. John Ford and his business partners were paid roughly $1.7 million in consulting fees from a TennCare contractor, according to a key government witness who testified in federal court on Monday.
Ford, 66, is accused of receiving consulting fees from two TennCare contractors, Memphis-based OmniCare and Wisconsin-based Doral Dental, from 2002 to 2005 while he served as a state senator on the general welfare committee and the TennCare oversight committee.
Ronald Dobbins, a Pennsylvania businessman who was one of Ford's partners in the consulting firm Managed Care Services Group, testified that the Memphis Democrat received 40 percent of the consulting fees from Doral Dental and the other partners got 30 percent.
Dobbins initially worked for United American Health Care, the parent company of OmniCare.
He testified that after leaving the company he created the consulting firm, Managed Care Services Group, in 2001. He said the initial consulting partnership was between Ford and him.
Then he found out that Ford had invited Osbie Howard, the chief executive officer of OmniCare, to join them. Howard handled the money, Dobbins told the jury.
Dobbins testified that he collected around $300,000 from Doral Dental over three years for doing little to no work.
Dobbins testified he had no knowledge of what Ford was doing on Doral's behalf.
Todd Cruse, a lobbyist for Forba, which operates dental centers for low-income children, was trying to get work through TennCare in Tennessee through Doral. Cruse sought out legislators in the districts where the dental centers were being opened, he testified. He sought out members of the black caucus, including Ford.
Cruse testified that after a dinner at a PF Chang's in Memphis, he approached Ford about Forba having a shot to work in the state.
"He chuckled," Cruse said. "And he said, 'They call me Mr. 15 percent.' When a legislator says he's known as Mr. 15 percent, it sorta sticks with you."
In cross-examination, federal public defender Isaiah Gant attacked Cruse for not reporting the 15 percent comment to anyone.
Gant also noted that Dobbins was initially the subject of the investigation into wire fraud. Dobbins received immunity in exchange for his testimony and cooperation with the government.
Ford is charged with two counts of wire fraud and four counts of making false statements on official documents. The wire fraud charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years. The maximum sentence for each of the four other charges is five years.
Dr. Kenneth Knott: Owner or Front Man?


A render of the vessel.
HMS Tamar, part of an order for five ships, was formally named in Glasgow today.
"From patrolling our coastlines and protecting UK waters, to anti-smuggling and counter terrorism operations, these ships are a key part of our Royal Navy fleet.
Alongside the Type 26 anti-submarine frigate programme, the Royal Navy work has filled the Glasgow shipyards' order books until the early 2030s, with the next batch of frigates to be ordered soon.
I would love to see a merlin land on these OPVs, ?. An anti submarine equipped wildcat operating from these would be great, I wonder how long they can land on ship for.
I'd hate to be that pilot anyway!
I doubt we will ever see one 'operate' from one of these, what we may see is using them as a bounce pad as it were to refuel helos for SAR, ASW etc. And for that they don't even need to land.
well in all fairness the lynx is very old at this point, the wildcat however is just an updated lynx, of which there are only a tiny fraction of wildcats compared to lynx. A hell of a lot more Wildcats, Merlins, Apaches etc is required. You can never have enough helicopters!
It does boggle the mind how they didn't have a small hangar, but I suppose then bean counters would look at them and think 'hey, you have the T31 already, no need to spend more'.
Perhaps on side rails for easy assembly over the "choppa". Better than nothing.
A bit of a silly question here but these are 90 metres and the Aircraft carries hangers are 155 metres so could one of these fit?
Yet you'd need a pad that size to make best use of the ability to carry and therefore land troops (by junglie in this instance). Along with speed, hull classification, etc., they've at least got potential.
If you wanted a fixed hangar the ship would need to be another 15 – 20m longer to accommodate that and the flight deck. The OPVs are for policing work and seem fine the way they are. Save any money for making the 26 and 31 more capable.
A hangar is possible within 90m.
But my guess is that the design trade off would be the crane, the container storage and the large helo landing deck; and possibly accomodation for embarked forces. I'm pretty sure the RN values these higher than a hangar. The River 2s could refuel and rearm a Wilcat or Merlin. I'm thinking maintenance will be done onshore, on a frigate or RFA.

Sex Abuse Victim Claims NY…
Sex Abuse Victim Claims NY Archdiocese Tricked Him into Accepting a Small Settlement
Emmett Caldwell, 62, alleged that a clergy member at St. Thomas the Apostle in Manhattan sexually abused him while he was in elementary school. After filing a claim with an independent compensation fund instituted by the Archdiocese of New York in 2016, he was told that $75,000 was the most that he could recover. Victims' advocates have criticized the fund as a way to make cases settle quickly before the New York legislature acted on proposals to raise the statutes of limitation on abuse claims.
A proposed class action lawsuit, filed on behalf of Caldwell, claims that the Archdiocese of New York used this fund to deceive victims of sexual abuse into taking smaller sums than they would be entitled to under the new law. The suit was filed on February 14, 2019 in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan on the very same day that Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the Child Victims Act.
The Act, starting on August 14, 2019, expands the statute of limitations for both civil and criminal claims. Under the new law, victims have until the age of 55 to bring civil claims and the age of 28 to bring criminal claims. The Act also opens a one-year window for victims of sexual abuse to file claims regardless of their age. Previously, victims of childhood abuse could only bring criminal and civil claims up until the age of 23.
