The Sri Lankan worker "Siderana" spent an entire year administratively detained in the Jwadeh Correctional and Rehabilitation Center, in the capital Amman, due to her inability to pay for her bail or for the price of a plane ticket back to her country. The police arrested her following the expiration of her work and residency permits. It was subsequently found that she was a victim of human trafficking and that she had been forced to overstay her permits by at least two years.
Siderana, age 44, mother of two, came to Jordan in 2004 through a recruitment office, with a signed contract guaranteeing her a salary of $200. However, she was shocked to find that the office agreed to employ her three separate times with a salary not exceeding $100. According to her talk with us, she did not receive any payment from them even after the close of her contractual period in 2006.
At the end of Siderana's contractual period, she turned to her country's embassy for help. The embassy in turn followed up with her employers, asking them for her salary or for the cost of a return plane ticket, to which they refused. This forced Siderana into staying at the embassy for a period of seven months before they asked her to leave and look for work in order to afford the cost of a return ticket. This order served to force her into working in illegal conditions, with salaries that did not exceed $100, for seven years, until she was arrested in 2013 and administratively detained in the Jwaideh correctional Centre.
Siderana is considered a victim of human trafficking, which includes forced labor under its definition. It is possible that we would not know her story if not for having met her inside the Jwaideh women's prison, with a team from the Enable Center (مركز تمكين) for Legal Aid and Human Rights, at the end of 2013. Her case is similar to dozens of cases in which those who were administratively detained were proven afterwards to be victims of human trafficking.
The Enable Center, in their last visit to Jwaideh on March 25th, found Filipino, Sri Lankan, and Bangladeshi nationals. The center does not rule out the possibility that 18 of the women may be victims of human trafficking.
The deputy executive director for the Enable Center, Diala Omari, who participated in the visit, said that the Jwaideh center claimed to be ignorant of the information that the inmates told her and her team.The center asserted that no questions were asked about the working conditions of the detainees during the initial stages of investigation or after they were administratively detained. These working conditions included non-payment of wages, physical and psychological assault, and sexual assault in some cases.
Another case which is no different from Siderana's is that of the Filipino domestic worker "Maria," who came under administrative detention this year after the expiration of her residency permit. Maria, a pseudonym given to her to protect her identity, confirmed that they did not ask her about her working conditions during the initial stages of the investigation at the security center or even after she was transferred to the Jwaideh detention center.
Maria said that she left the family that she had been working for following ill-treatment where she was forced to work from six in the morning until midnight. Her passport had been confiscated in order to force her into working these hours.
According to Maria, a lawyer was not appointed to defend her during the initial stages of the investigation and she was not asked whether she wanted legal representation or an interpreter. It was confirmed that she signed onto her testimony without being able to understand what had been written because she was unable to read the Arabic script.
Inmates said that the field team did not provide for any of their feminine hygiene needs, and they were forced to buy these supplies as well from the "cafeteria." Those who did not have the money had to tear their clothing and use that instead.
Inmates also face difficulty in accessing health care. Communicating about health issues to those in charge of the center has proved especially difficult. One injured inmate held at the detention center was found to be in the final stages of cancer. Her disease was detected entirely by accident.
The "Dignity" team from the National Center for Human Rights was allowed to carry out unannounced visits to correctional and rehabilitation centers in order to monitor the real state of conditions inside. The Public Security Directorate confirmed that it has been systematically working to reform the prison environment for nearly 7 years.
The administrative governor has the power to arrest and detain migrant workers whose residency or work permits are set to expire until they meet certain requirements or return to their countries. This is in accordance with the controversial Crime Prevention Law, applicable in Jordan since 1952, which grants the administrative governor and the power to arrest without restrictions.
The number of administrative detainees during the past year reached 20,216, including the 2,304 female detainees who make up about 11% of the total, according to statistics issued by the Correction and Rehabilitation Centers Directorate.
The precise number of non-Jordanian administrative detainees is not known. The Geneva-based Global Detention Project recently criticized Jordan for the absence of these statistics and called on Jordan to provide them.
But even so long as the National Center for Human Rights, an independent quasi-governmental institution, demands in its annual reports for either the abolition or modification of the Crime Prevention Law, the law continues to contribute to the suspension of freedoms for individuals who are detained for long periods of time without being brought to trial. As documented by the center, some inmates were detained for up to a decade.
The center asserts in its report for the year 2013 that foreign administrative detainees are the group that is most vulnerable to long detention in accordance with the Crime Prevention Law. This is the result of their inability to afford bail, delays in deportation proceedings or the severance of detention orders. As described by the report, they are also a group that contributes to the overcrowding and increased unrest in reform and rehabilitation centers.
The former director of the Correction and Rehabilitation Centers Directorate, Hussein Al Troanh, said that the Crime Prevention Law gives a detainee the right to know his or her charge before the seizure of the detainee's freedom. He underlined that the law gives the detainee the right to be fully investigated and granted full knowledge of both his charge and the financial value of his bail before being incarcerated.
Al Troanh, who was also previously director of the Legal Affairs Department in the Public Security Directorate, after being asked about the reasons for failing to identify potential victims of human trafficking before, or even after, they are administratively detained, confirmed that some administrative behaviors may violate the Crime Prevention Act.
According to their latest report, the National Center for Human Rights indicates that some administrative governors violate the right to due process and do not allow the presence of lawyers in the initial investigative stage, prior to the administrative detention of suspects.
Former government spokesperson and director of International Institute for Women's Solidarity, Asma Khadr emphasized the right of foreign domestic workers who are detained to defend themselves, through the provision of both a lawyer and an interpreter, especially in the early stages of the investigation.
"Investigations must cover all aspects and must ask questions about working conditions when investigating the category of immigrant labor, which may reveal that they are victims of human trafficking," said Khadr. She called, also, for the need to review the legislation governing the labor market in Jordan in order to protect this exploited category of workers.
The anti-trafficking unit for the Public Security Directorate asserts that it previously received information from civic institutions or from prison authorities about administratively detained workers and pursued a court ruling on whether they were potential victims of human trafficking.
With that in mind, the unit director Ahmad Al Zabi, indicates that not all detentions are permissible. If an employer delayed in delivering a worker's salary, then this may be an indicator, in his opinion, that the worker was a victim of human trafficking. However, he stressed the need for a range of indicators to consider potential victims and he pointed out that the final judgement in these cases goes back to the courts.
Administrative detainees who are suspected of being victims of human trafficking are held in specially qualified facilities, according to Al Zabi.
A major barrier to making complaints is the high cost of access to justice. Sometimes, this is what causes workers to remain in administrative detention. However, some civic institutions may provide legal services for those who fall into this category. One recently helped Egyptian workers obtain compensation, an action that was considered a judicial precedent.
Some emigrant workers complain about negligence on the part of their embassies in following up on their cases, as was recorded in the report by the National Center for Human Rights on the special status of correctional and rehabilitation centers. However, other embassies provided services that were described as good. For example, the Embassy of the Philippines introduced an office specialist to follow up on its nationals working in the country and set up a center for domestic workers.
To avoid the complexities of legal battles and the lengthy detentions that victims are forced to endure, it is essential that full information regarding whether detainees are victims of human trafficking be obtained in the initial phases of these investigations. It is not logical that a victim who has committed a minor infraction should be behind bars while one who has committed the crime of human trafficking should be a free man.


KOREAN manufacturer Hyundai realised that there was a bit of a pricing gap between its two models, namely the i20 and i30. As is becoming somewhat of a tradition in the motoring industry, the manufacturer introduces a model to fill specific gaps that either do or do not exist. In this case it was an existing gap in which the five-door Accent hatch fits perfectly in terms of size and pricing.
Revisions have been made to the manual gearbox, as well as the addition of a hydraulically controlled clutch while the sixth gear is there to provide fuel efficiency on the open road. The four-speed automatic transmission has a flat-type torque converter with a variable line pressure control disc-type return spring. As I did not try the gearbox, I will reserve judgement, but a four-speed gearbox doesn't seem awfully modern in an era of eight- and nine-speed single and dual-clutch transmissions.
The Accent hatch has received a five-star rating in the Australian New Car Assessment Programme (ANCAP). Some active safety features include ABS and EBD as well as driver and passenger airbags, side and curtain airbags and seatbelt pretensioners for the driver and front passenger's safety belts.


Purchases have to be made with a signature, which is also necessary to earn a regular 1% cash back. Purchases with using PIN and cash withdrawals are not counted as a qualified purchase for this offer.
I exclusively use PayPal Business Debit MasterCard for reloading American Express Serve and Chime prepaid card. For AmEx Serve, the limit is $1000 per month. I have already loaded Serve this month. So, I will be able to load $1000 each in Oct and Nov, totaling $2000. For Chime prepaid card, I can load $100 per day until Oct 8th and $200 after Oct 8th. However, after Oct 8th, Chime will start charging a fee for loading the card with some debit cards. PayPal Business Debit MasterCard is probably one of the debit cards that Chime will charge a fee. If so, I'm not going to use PayPal debit card for loading Chime card. I have already loaded today. So, I can load Chime card with PayPal debit card for 15 times (days), totaling $1500. By the date the offer ends, the total of purchases made with my regular spending would be $3500. It qualifies for $30 credit!
Should I do extra work for $50 credit?
You can take either one of $30 or $50 credit, not both of them. And they are both 1% cash back. There is no bonus even if you spend more ($5000). So, it is not necessary to do extra spend to get $50 credit. However, I will have spent $3500 until the offer ends for sure, and it is only $1500 short for $50 credit. So I will probably use PayPal debit card somewhere else to get $50 credit. I should be careful with using the card as Credit, not Debit when I use at stores.

Segun Akinola announced as the new composer for Series 11
By TGT | 27th June 2018
Series 11 is bringing lots of change with it, including the departure of the show's composer since 2005. But while we bid a sad farewell to Murray Gold, we are also excited to welcome the new composer. But who is it?
The BBC have announced that Series 11 will be composed by Segun Akinola.
A rising star among British composers, Akinola's has worked on a number of documentaries and short films, including BBC Two's Black and British: A Forgotten History and Shola Amoo's debut feature film A Moving Image.
Showrunner Chris Chibnall said:
"Welcome to the Doctor Who family, Segun Akinola! We're over the moon Segun's agreed to join us, to provide the score for the next phase of the Doctor Who adventure. From our very first conversations, it was obvious Segun was a passionate, collaborative and delightful human being as well as a fantastic and bold composer. We're looking forward to introducing the world to his exciting and emotional soundtracks for the Thirteenth Doctor."
As part of his duties, Akinola will create a 'fresh take' on the iconic theme tune, which will no doubt have a very different feel with a new composer bringing his style to the arrangement.
Segun Akinola said about joining the show:
"Doctor Who is woven into the fabric of British culture and recognised globally. I am absolutely thrilled to be given the privilege of working on such a beloved series and to bring my musical voice to it."
You can learn more about Akinola in the video below.
We are excited to welcome Segun Akinola to the Whoniverse and can't wait to hear his scores when the show returns for Series 11.

DOVER — John "Jack" E. Richter served as a mayor of Dover, but when it came to the impact he left on his hometown his reach went much further than just holding a seat in City Hall.
Mr. Richter was always determined to preserve the history that surrounds downtown Dover and was deeply involved in the arts in and around Delaware's capital city.
Mr. Richter, who served as Dover's mayor from 1988 to 1992, died at the age of 83 on Sept. 25 due to complications of cancer.
He left his mark on not only the city, but also on the people he came across.
A celebration of Mr. Richter's life will be held on Monday, Oct. 22, at the Lutheran Church of Our Savior, at 20276 Bay Vista Road in Rehoboth Beach, at 11 a.m.
Dover Mayor Robin R. Christiansen said Mr. Richter was always vigilant in his efforts to both preserve and promote Dover's history.
"As an elected mayor and long-time councilman, Jack served his fellow citizens tirelessly," Mayor Christiansen said. "As a resident and private-citizen he worked on many projects to benefit his community.
Mr. Bonar said Mr. Richter could always be counted on for his honest and reasonable ways when it came to his time spent in City Hall.
"I had the honor of knowing Jack in a variety of capacities," he said. "Jack served on Dover City Council and later Mayor of the city of Dover with distinction.
Mr. Richter served in a number of official capacities for the city of Dover, including city council (1980-88), vice mayor (1987-88) and mayor (1988-92).
Perhaps his greatest passion was preserving Dover's history, as he volunteered his time as president and longtime member of the Friends of Old Dover, whose board of directors got together on Sept. 28 to raise a toast in Mr. Richter's honor.
Mr. Richter was the spark behind the Constitution Place project, planned in conjunction with Delaware's Bicentennial Celebration in 1987.
The small historical park, in a nock at the intersection of South State Street and North Street, features a 12-foot bronze quill on a 4-foot cube inscribed with the United States Constitution. Each of the 13 colonies are inscribed on a half-wall that surrounds the ornament.
He was also a member and president of The Friends of the John Dickinson Mansion a board member of the Delaware Agricultural Museum.
In addition, Mr. Richter was a major supporter of the arts, advocating for the renovation of the Schwartz Center for the Arts and supporting the Biggs Museum, Dover Symphony, Delaware Choral Society and Rehoboth Art League.
Mary Terry Mason, a president of the Friends of Old Dover, said that while Mr. Richter loved his hometown, he loved his family – and journeying to a variety of destinations even more.
Mr. Richter, a second-generation Dover native, met his wife of 58 years, Mary Jane (Wiley) Richter — now deceased — while attending the University of Delaware. He graduated in 1956 as a civil engineer.
The Richters lived in Elmira, New York, for a couple of years after college before they settled in Dover, where they raised their two daughters, Jackie Richter-Menge, of Hanover, New Hampshire, and Andi Pedigo, of Rehoboth Beach. Mrs. Richter served as the director of The Little School in Dover.
Mr. Richter worked for the state of Delaware for more than 30 years, retiring in the position of Director for the Delaware Transportation Authority.
Never one to sit still, he then went on to join Tetra Tech, took classes to earn an MBA from Wilmington University, and partnered in establishing a branch of Becker Morgan in Dover.
When not working on preserving the history of Dover, Mr. Richter enjoyed hunting and fishing and especially relished spending time with his six grandchildren.
Mr. Richter also maintained a long relationship with his Dutch relatives, most recently making a trip to The Netherlands in May, and a group of 'Dover Boys,' who graduated together from Dover High School in 1952.
"I know that Jack will be missed very much by his family, especially the grandchildren," Linda and Bob Duncan wrote on a tribute page for Mr. Richter. "He will also be missed by his many good friends.

25 New Faces of Film 2016
Locking Gaze: Kirsten Johnson on the Images of Her Thrilling Documentary, Cameraperson
Both memoir and essay film, Kirsten Johnson's Cameraperson is an astonishing work of cinematic analysis and alchemy. Comprised of material shot by Johnson for 24 different documentaries over a span of 25 years, it's a movie made up of fragments, globetrotting scenes that tumble one after the other, announced by title cards listing the location and year of the footage but not the director. Included, too, in the footage is personal material, some for film projects of Johnson's that have yet to be realized and some home movies shot of her mother in the months before she died of Alzheimer's.

In Dark Trees: David Lowery on Pete's Dragon
David Lowery has directed love stories about siblings, spouses, parents and children, so it follows logically that his next film would be a love story between an orphan and his dragon. Pete's Dragon, Lowery's nominal remake of the 1977 Disney film, lives in a tender, magical world that exists outside of time, in the wilderness of childhood imagination. The wonder, lack of cynicism and strong imagery of the natural world evoke cinema of the late '70s and early '80s; The Black Stallion and E.T. come to mind. Lowery seems fascinated by the stories we tell ourselves, the tall tales, the […]

Landlord Blues: Ira Sachs on Little Men
There are little men, and then there are big forces — economic tides, societal shifts, structural change. The beautiful strength of Ira Sachs's recent work — his mid-career surge after the five-year gap that followed his larger-budget, mini-major film, Married Life — is that Sachs's characters are such complicated, soulful men and women clearly impacted (but not defined) by the larger issues swirling around them. In his lightly autobiographical 2012 film Keep the Lights On, Sachs essayed the romantic life of a documentary filmmaker in a relationship with a drug-addicted lawyer, set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-millennium New York gay […]

The Fine Print: How To Understand and Negotiate a Film Distribution Contract
There are many new distribution options for the independent producer. The old media includes theatrical, broadcast/cable, home video; new media's alphabet soup includes TVOD, SVOD, AVOD, EST, PPV, streaming and nontraditional theatrical. As new distribution channels develop, new distribution companies emerge. But not all distributors are effective in all mediums and markets. Just as you would not expect Netflix or Vimeo to release your work theatrically (Netflix's recent self-originated productions to the contrary), you would not expect Gathr and Tugg to broadcast or cablecast your work. As a consequence of all these new distribution channels and the splitting up of […]

Or maybe you're simply an emerging writer working toward that first sale or produced credit.

It's Not Always About the Money
There's been a great deal of talk recently in our film community about the concept of sustainability. There hasn't, however, been a great deal of precision. Take the word itself — "sustainable." It's most often defined by its absence. But by the time we ask, "What is a sustainable career?" the answer comes back, and it's usually simply: "Not this." We've adopted the idea of sustainability from the environmental movement, where it describes the quest to make an ecosystem stable and long-lasting. Sustainability's myriad definitions range from the utopian ("all systems in dynamic balance") to the terse, harsh pragmatism of its Latin root, […]

A How-To Menu Guide for all the Laowai!
Ben Ross in China has compiled three years of culinary exploration into a very handy guide to ordering Chinese dishes in China, complete with pictures, phoenetics, and descriptions at howtoorderchinesefood.com. It's also useful for people who want to order "off the menu" or more authentically at an American Chinese restaurants. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing site (but the Internet has never been impressed with flashy design, think Craigslist, Google), but it covers an impressive range of topics and cuisines. For example, it has a shorthand list for all the one-character shorthands for various provinces (sort of how like CA means California, and MO means Missouri, but only less inuitive). And it even has Northeastern dishes, which rarely find their way to America.

Lab Team Spins Ginger into Nanoparticles to Heal Inflammatory Bowel Disease
By Veterans Affairs Research Communications | August 18, 2016
Dr. Didier Merlin (front row, center) and colleagues with the Atlanta VA Medical Center and the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State University are exploring the use of edible ginger-derived nanoparticles to treat inflammatory bowel disease. (Credit: Lisa Pessin)
A recent study by researchers at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center took them to a not-so-likely destination: local farmers markets. They went in search of fresh ginger root.
Back at the lab, the scientists turned the ginger into what they are calling GDNPs, or ginger-derived nanoparticles. The process started simply enough, with your basic kitchen blender. But then it involved super-high-speed centrifuging and ultrasonic dispersion of the ginger juice, to break it up into single pellets. (Don't try this at home!)
The research team, led by Dr. Didier Merlin with VA and the Institute for Biomedical Sciences at Georgia State University, believes the particles may be good medicine for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The particles may also help fight cancer linked to colitis, the scientists believe.
They report their findings, based on experiments with cells and mice, in the September 2016 issue of Biomaterials.
Each ginger-based nanoparticle was about 230 nanometers in diameter. More than 300 of them could fit across the width of a human hair.
Fed to lab mice, the particles appeared to be nontoxic and had significant therapeutic effects:
Importantly, they efficiently targeted the colon. They were absorbed mainly by cells in the lining of the intestines, where IBD inflammation occurs.
The particles reduced acute colitis and prevented chronic colitis and colitis-associated cancer.
They enhanced intestinal repair. Specifically, they boosted the survival and proliferation of the cells that make up the lining of the colon. They also lowered the production of proteins that promote inflammation, and raised the levels of proteins that fight inflammation.
Part of the therapeutic effect, say the researchers, comes from the high levels of lipids—fatty molecules—in the particles, a result of the natural lipids in the ginger plant. One of the lipids is phosphatidic acid, an important building block of cell membranes.
The particles also retained key active constituents found naturally in ginger, such as 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol. Past lab studies have shown the compounds to be active against oxidation, inflammation, and cancer. They are what make standard ginger an effective remedy for nausea and other digestion problems. Traditional cultures have used ginger medicinally for centuries, and health food stores carry ginger-based supplements—such as chews, or the herb mixed with honey in a syrup—as digestive aids.
Delivering these compounds in a nanoparticle, says Merlin's team, may be a more effective way to target colon tissue than simply providing the herb as a food or supplement.
Ginger could be cost-effective medicine source
The idea of fighting IBD with nanoparticles is not new. In recent years, Merlin's lab and others have explored how to deliver conventional drugs via nanotechnology. Some of this research is promising. The approach may allow low doses of drugs to be delivered only where they are needed—inflamed tissue in the colon—and thus avoid unwanted systemic effects.
The advantage of ginger, say the researchers, is that it's nontoxic, and could represent a very cost-effective source of medicine.
The group is looking at ginger, and other plants, as potential "nanofactories for the fabrication of medical nanoparticles."
Merlin and his VA and Georgia State University coauthors elaborated on the idea in a report earlier this year titled "Plant-derived edible nanoparticles as a new therapeutic approach against diseases." They wrote that plants are a "bio-renewable, sustainable, diversified platform for the production of therapeutic nanoparticles."

"Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them."
By Estelle Tang
Justin Bieber has canceled the remaining dates on his Purpose World Tour. According to a statement on Bieber's website, the tour, which was scheduled to end on September 6, will not continue:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Justin Bieber will cancel the remainder of the Purpose World Tour concerts. Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them. He thanks his fans for the incredible experience of the Purpose World Tour over last 18 months. He is grateful and honored to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across 6 continents during this run. However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
The Purpose tour began on March 9, 2016 in Seattle, meaning that the Canadian star has been touring for 16 months. According to TMZ, there were 14 shows left to go. At the time of writing, Ticketmaster listed North American dates for the Purpose Tour ending on August 24 in New Jersey, with two Canadian dates in September. Last October, the singer walked off stage in Manchester after the crowd screamed and booed while he tried to talk.

Hewlett-Packard has settled patent infringement complaints that it filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission against inkjet cartridge vendors, HP said Thursday.
HP filed a complaint with the ITC in September 2009, alleging that companies including InkPlusToner.com and CompTree Ink were importing and selling inkjet supplies in the U.S. that infringed HP's patents. HP reached settlement agreements with those two companies, which will pay damages and stop selling cartridges.
HP said the companies, including seven others, violated patents related to cartridge design, ink level and delivery methods, according to a complaint on the ITC's Web site. The patents in question are 6,959,985, 7,104,630, 6,089,687 and 6,264,301.
The original complaint with the ITC also included complaints filed against other companies that HP accused of violating patents, but those disputes haven't been fully resolved yet. The ITC has passed a default judgment against those companies and HP hopes for a "satisfactory remedy" to resolve the disputes. The companies include BCInk, EZ Label and CDR DVDR Media in California; Mipo International of Hong Kong; and Mextec Group of Florida. Also listed are Shanghai Angel Printer Supplies, Shenzhen Print Media, Zhuhai National Resources, Jingjie Imaging Products, Tatrix International and Ourway Image, which are all in China.
Mipo Science & Technology, Mextec Group, Sinotime Technologies and PTC Holdings for infringing on patents.

Planning a child's birthday party can be fun, but if you are not well prepared it can also get hectic and stressful. To plan the best party for your child you need to sit down as a family and choose a theme for the party. Once this is done, it will be easier to choose the wholesale party decorations, the invites, the menu, and most importantly, the party bags. After all, once the birthday cake has been eaten, the games played and won, it is the party bag that the guests look forward to.
Before you sit down to order the party favors you will need to know the exact number of guests invited to the party. This will ensure that you do not run short of fillers. Do keep in mind that wholesalers usually sell party favors by the dozen. Shopping for wholesale party bag fillers will not only bring down the cost of your shopping but will also allow you to put in more things that you may have anticipated.
There are many online wholesalers who offer fillers for party bags. Most of these stores offer products by category. So you can choose fillers based on the gender of the child, their age and interests. You will be happy to find that they cover most themes including dinosaurs, superheroes, fairies, and princess parties. And accordingly offer numerous products for you to peruse.
For younger children you may like to consider coloring books, foam masks, bouncy balls and rubber duckies. For older kids you could opt for keychains, stamp pads, fun straws, notebooks and tattoo sheets. You could also buy novelty stationery products, bubble swords and water balloons. At the end of the day the fillers should be chosen based on your child's party theme and their interests. Do not forget to add candy bars, because a party bag without candy is like a birthday party without a cake!
When you shop at a wholesale store you are likely to enjoy higher discounts based on the number of packs you buy. You may also want to keep an eye out for promotional offers and discounts. It is a good idea to order for your party bag fillers in advance so that they can be delivered well in advance.
Do remember to buy bags that are appropriately sized for the fillers that you will place inside. It would be a good idea to keep the party bags filled and put away so that it is one less detail that you will have to take care on the day of the party. Finally, do not forget to keep a party bag safely tucked away for your child.

Wills, Trusts & Estates: Plain and Simple – Estates of the Rich and Famous
Mishaps of celebrities in their estate planning can offer insight into what can happen when you neglect your estate planning. While interest in a band or song rights may not be a part of your family's portfolio, business ownership, private equity investments, and other financial and non-financial assets can leave a complicated trail for loved ones to navigate. Let's explore how celebrities have missed significant opportunities to effectively guide their estate planning process.
Jim Morrison (lead singer for the Doors) died leaving a two-page Will. While he had modest financial assets, he owned a 25% interest in the Doors. His two-page Will left everything to his girlfriend, Pamela, or if she predeceased him, to his siblings. Pamela inherited his entire estate.
Pamela died three years later without a Will, and everything passed to her parents (who intensely disliked Morrison) under state law. Morrison's estranged parents (who would have received Morrison's entire estate, if he had no will and was unmarried), sued to declare the Will invalid. The court found that Pamela was Morrison's common-law wife, so would get Morrison's entire estate anyway. Pamela's parents and Morrison's parents finally agreed to divide the estate's earnings equally; but Morrison had wanted his siblings to benefit after Pamela, not their parents. Had Morrison provided for trusts in his Will, he could have left everything in trust for Pamela and, upon her death, provided for his siblings.

The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has introduced an online reporting system known as the Safety Watch System (SWS) to enable health workers to report on safety issues related to drugs, vaccines and other regulated products to the authority.
The system is to ensure pharmacovigilance and also to improve timely reporting of suspicious food and drugs safety breaches to the FDA, to protect the public from unnecessary harm and ensure public confidence in drugs administered.
Speaking at a training workshop for pharmacists, administrators and disease control officers in Tamale last Wednesday, the Head of Safety Monitoring Department of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Mr George Sabblah, said the SWS was an easier, faster and friendlier way of reporting drug reaction and advised its patronage by all health officers.
He advised health workers and patients to take advantage of the system to report issues of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) with dispatch to the authority for immediate action, which, he said, included safe disposal of the said drug to stop other patients from taking the drug to ensure public safety.
Mr Sabblah said that community pharmacists would be trained under the SWS system to serve as patient safety contact points in the Northern Region and across the country so that patients could go to them to report adverse drug reaction.
He urged patients to take advantage of both the SWS and the community pharmacists when they experienced any adverse drug reaction, adding that patients could also make reports my texting to the shortcode '4015'.
Mr Sabblah also said the FDA would introduce pharmacovigilance to the curricula of health schools to facilitate the effective use of the SWS.
He added that institutions such as the University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and Central University College had added it to their curricula.


This Truchet tiling consists of a grid constructed from only two tiles, shown below.
To speed up rendering, I've pre-rendered the tiles onto two offscreen graphics objects. The tiles are then rendered in a loop.
The render function for each cell looks at the cell's current state, and uses that to select the correct tile. I'm using the conditional operator (?:) to select the tile (tile1 or tile2) based on the value of the boolean variable state.
When you move the mouse, I figure out which tile falls under the mouse pointer, and flip its state. To make the effect more obvious, I've hidden the mouse pointer using noCursor().

Army aviation strives to own weather

REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. (Aug. 15, 2013) -- Flying a helicopter through rain, fog or cloudy conditions is challenging and dangerous, so a team of U.S. Army engineers have taken on the challenge to research ways to make flying in degraded visual environments easier and safer for rotorcraft pilots.
In July 2012, the Army initiated the Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center's Rotorcraft Degraded Visual Environment Mitigation Program in order to execute a synchronized, collaborative effort across the AMRDEC science and technology community to assess and address the problem of degraded visual environment.
Degraded visual environment, or DVE, is defined as reduced visibility of potentially varying degree, wherein situational awareness and aircraft control cannot be maintained as comprehensively as in normal visual meteorological conditions and can potentially be lost.
According to Todd Dellert, an experimental test pilot and lead of the Rotorcraft DVE Mitigation Program, over the past 10 years DVE contributed to 87 rotorcraft accidents, 108 fatalities and more than $880 million in material losses. Many of the losses were due to operations in "brownout" conditions, which are helicopter-induced dust clouds resulting from downwash of the rotor system.
But DVE is more than just "brownout." Other factors are smoke, rain, smog, sand and dust, clouds, darkness, fog, snow and flat light.
Dellert said the team's mantra is "Own the Weather," which means the pursuit of material solutions to not only allow safe and efficient rotorcraft operation but also to expand the capability of commanders to deploy their rotorcraft aviation assets when the weather is well below visual meteorological conditions minimums.
Army officials view potential DVE mitigation system solutions as comprised of three pillars: improved flight controls, sensors, and cueing.
Improving the existing flight controls systems and/or laws and handling characteristics will assist the pilot in managing workload when vision or situational awareness is challenged or obscured. Sensor technologies will allow "see-through" capability when DVE conditions are encountered. And symbology, aural or tactile cueing will provide information to the pilot reference aircraft state and potentially guidance for executing a mission task such as landing and take-off.
The Rotorcraft DVE Mitigation Program includes the AMRDEC Aviation Applied Technology Directorate, AMRDEC Aeroflightdynamics Directorate, AMRDEC System Simulation and Development Directorate, and the Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate from the Communications-Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center. AMRDEC and CERDEC are part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command.
Through analysis, simulation, ground and flight test, Dellert said the stakeholders on the team are exploring the trade-space involved to assist PEO Aviation in making informed decisions on future material upgrades and potential programs of record. The capstone of the program will be demonstration flights at Yuma Proving Ground in fiscal 2016.
"The AMRDEC Degraded Visual Environment Mitigation Program is oriented toward examining the combinations of technologies required that will give Army rotorcraft pilots the advantage on the battlefield," Dellert said. "In total, this integrated three pronged approach to a Degraded Visual Environment system solution is aimed at increasing air-crew safety and survivability while also helping to provide them every conceivable tactical and operational advantage."
AMRDEC is part of the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, which has the mission to develop technology and engineering solutions for America's Soldiers.
RDECOM is a major subordinate command of the U.S. Army Materiel Command. AMC is the Army's premier provider of materiel readiness -- technology, acquisition support, materiel development, logistics power projection, and sustainment -- to the total force, across the spectrum of joint military operations. If a Soldier shoots it, drives it, flies it, wears it, eats it or communicates with it, AMC provides it.

USDA GAIN: Thailand Grain and Feed Update November 2012
MY2012/13 main-crop rice production is revised down due to deficient rainfall in the northeastern region. Participation in the MY2012/13 Main-Crop Paddy Pledging Program started strong and the government is likely to speed up the sale of its rice stocks due to public debt concerns
Commodities:
Rice, Milled
Author Defined:
1. MY2012/13 Main-crop Rice Production Down Due To Drought
MY2012/13 main-crop rice production is revised down due to deficient rainfall in the northeastern region, which is the major growing area for fragrant and glutinous rice (Table 1 and 2). This region accounts for approximately 80 percent of total fragrant and glutinous rice production. According to the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD), precipitation during January – September 2012 was nearly 7 percent below average in the northeastern region, particularly in the central and lower parts of the region. Precipitation in this area is also likely to be far below the normal average in October 2012 (Figure 1 and 2) due to the lack of storms this year. Tropical storm Gaemi in early October marginally prevented severe drought damage to the fragrant rice crop as it caused more rain in the western than in the northeastern region.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperative estimated the drought damage in the region between May 1- October 19, 2012 to be around 0.6 million rai (0.1 million hectares), of which 0.5 million rai (0.08 million hectares) are rice crops. Meanwhile, flood damage to the MY2012/13 main crop rice paddy is minimal at around 5,500 rai (880 hectares). However, Post estimates drought damage area is likely increase to 1-2 million rai (0.2 million hectares) as another tropical storm Prapiroon is expected to move away from Thailand. In addition, current tropical storm Sontinh, in the South China Sea, is expected to cause heavy rain in northeastern Thailand by the end of October, but it will likely be too late to improve the average yield of the fragrant rice crops, which account for around 60 percent of total main-crop rice production in the northeastern region.
The average yield for fragrant rice is likely to decline to 370 kg/rai (2.31 tons/hectare), down approximately 10 percent from the previous year, due to insufficient rainfall during September and October (milk and dough stage). Total MY2012/13 main-crop rice production is revised down to 21.5 million metric tons of paddy (14.2 million metric tons milled equivalent) (Table 2), which is still slightly above last year as main-crop rice production in the northern and the central plain regions are better than average due to sufficient rainfall and adequate water reservoir levels.
MY2012/13 off-season rice production forecast remains unchanged from the previous forecast as water reservoir levels are likely to be able to provide enough water for the off-season rice crop, particularly in the lower northern and central plain regions. These regions account for around 80 percent of the total off-season rice crop production. Presently, reservoir levels are around 75 percent of capacity nationwide, which will likely be enough to irrigate the off-season crop. However, there is a possibility that the off-season crop production could be lower than expected if the reservoirs unexpectedly dropped. The major dams in the northern region are presently at 60-70 percent of capacity (Figure 3).
In addition, the TMD expects warmer and drier conditions between November 2012 and January 2013.
2. Better Prospect For Rice Exports In 2012 - 2013 Due To Stock Releases
MY2011/12 rice exports remain unchanged from the previous forecast of 6.5 million metric tons, down 39 percent from the previous year as Thai rice prices remain much higher than competitors' prices like Vietnam and India as a result of its Paddy Pledging Program. Presently, prices for Thai 5% grade white rice remain $100/MT above Vietnamese rice despite a reduction from an average price difference of $140/MT during January through September 2012. Prices for 100% grade parboiled rice are $175/MT above Indian rice prices.
In the first nine months of this year, Thai rice exports totaled around 5.0 million metric tons, down 44 percent from last year. White and parboiled rice exports have been adversely affected by the high intervention prices set by the paddy pledging program. White and parboiled rice exports are down approximately 50 percent from last year to around 2.1 million metric tons and 1.5 million metric tons, respectively. In addition, fragrant rice exports dropped 24 percent from last year to 1.4 million metric tons.
Prices for Thai white rice have been falling since July 2012 due to the sale of government rice stocks. (Figure 4). Monthly rice exports during October – December 2012 will likely reach 0.5 million tons as the government sells its rice stocks to help finance the new MY2012/13 Main-Crop Paddy Pledging Program. The government is likely sell its new-crop fragrant rice stocks of around 0.3 – 0.5 million metric tons during November 2012 – January 2013, mostly destined for the export market. In addition, government rice stocks are expected to fall even more as Nigeria continues to purchase Thai parboiled rice before its new import tariffs double the cost of imported rice.
MY2012/13 rice exports are expected to increase to 8.0 million metric tons, unchanged from the previous forecast, in anticipation of government stock releases. The government will likely speed up the sale of old-crop rice stocks in 2013 to exporters through open or closed tenders, which will enable them to compete with Vietnamese rice crops. Meanwhile, the Thai Government's memorandum of understanding (MOU) to sell 7.3 million metric tons of rice in 2012-2013 (valued at approximately 114 billion baht ($3.8 billion) to China, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Cote d'Ivoire is likely to take years to finalize. The MOU is being challenged in court by a group of Thai senators who claim that the government has not been transparent in developing the agreements, and consequently should not be allowed to finalize the sale.
MY2011/12 and MY2012/13 rice imports are revised up to 0.4 million due to an increase in broken rice imports and rice paddy smuggling along the border. During January – August 2012, rice imports doubled from the previous year, particularly from Myanmar and Cambodia. The increase reflected tight supplies of domestic broken rice caused by the changes instituted by the MY2011/12 Paddy Pledging Program, which requires millers to deliver both head rice and broken rice to the program. The attractive intervention prices of the pledging program are encouraging more rice smuggling from neighboring countries along the border, particularly along the Thai-Cambodia border. Cambodian paddy is normally traded along the border between December and May. Around 70 percent of Cambodian paddy traded on the border is fragrant rice and the balance is low-quality white rice. Cambodian fragrant rice paddy prices are approximately 50 percent below Thai fragrant rice prices, but the quality is just as good, if not better than Thai fragrant rice.
3. Controversial Paddy Pledging Program
The MY2011/12 Paddy Pledging Program has received pledges of about 21.5 million metric tons (MMT) of paddy, of which approximately 70 percent are off-season-crop rice paddy (Table 3). White rice paddy accounts for around 80 percent of the program. As of October 3, 2012, millers participating in the program delivered around 11.0 MMT of milled rice to government warehouses, of which 4.1 MMT are main-crop rice and 6.9 MMT are off-season-crop rice (Table 4). There are pending deliveries of off-season-crop milled rice and paddies of around 1.2 million metric tons each. The state-run Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperative (BAAC) has provided loans worth 304 billion baht ($10 billion) to farmers, of which 214 billion baht ($7 billion) have been covered by loans from government banks other than BAAC. Farmers are unlikely to redeem the full value of their rice under the pledging program as current market prices are presently 20-30 percent below the intervention prices.
Overall the pledging scheme props up farm-gate prices. Under the program, prices for fragrant rice paddy are 18 percent higher, main-crop rice paddy is 15 percent higher and off-season crop paddy is 10 percent higher (Figure 5 and 6). Sources report that the program is reportedly biased against large farmers as they receive 80-90 percent of the benefit from the pledging program due to their large farm land holdings. The Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI) estimated that smaller farmers received 20 percent of the benefit from the main-crop rice paddy program and only 8 percent for the off-season-crop rice paddy program. Around half of Thailand's main-crop rice farmers and one-third of the off-season-crop rice farmers come from low-income households.
Furthermore, the pledging program is likely to incur losses of at least 113 billion baht ($3.8 billion). Around 60 percent of the losses are attributed to the sales of rice stocks below its acquisition price and the remainder from rising administrative costs.
In October 2012, the Thai Cabinet approved a budget of 240 billion baht ($8 billion) to fund the MY2012/13 Main-Crop Paddy Pledging Program. The program will be funded by a 150 billion baht ($5 billion) loan from government banks and 90 billion baht ($3 billion) from government stock sales. Financing for the new program is structured differently from past programs due to the concern over public debt levels which are expected to increase to around 48 percent of GDP in 2013. The new main-crop rice paddy program began on October 1, 2012 and runs until February 28, 2013 with the pledging target ranging around 15.0 million metric tons of paddy (roughly 10 million tons milled equivalent). The intervention price remain unchanged for white rice paddy (13,800 - 15,000 baht/tons ($444 – $482/MT), which is around 40 percent above current market prices. The price for fragrant rice paddy will range between 18,000 – 20,000 baht/ton ($579 – $643/MT), which is 20 percent above current market prices. No limit restrictions were imposed on the amount of paddies that could be sold to the government. The Thai Cabinet is expected to consider funding for the MY2012/13 off-season rice crop next year.
The Thai Government is currently holding an estimated 12.0 million metric tons of rice stocks, down from prior estimate of 14-15 million metric tons. The government has sold approximately 2-3 million metric tons of rice stocks, consisting primarily of old rice stocks. Around 60 percent of the rice stock sales were through closed tenders for exports, particularly to Indonesia and African countries under government-to-government contracts. Open tenders accounted for approximately 10 percent of the government's rice sales. The final bids for the August – September tenders were approximately 10-20 percent below market prices.

Q: Start AutoCAD without NETLOAD command I'm currently doing a small university project on C#, so in one part of my program I need to start AutoCAD commands without using "NETLOAD" key word and without selection of appropriate the dll-file for it. Is there any possible implemetion?
Thanks in advance.

A: You need to use an AutoLoader.  Here's an example to get you started:

Q: how to use docker-compose and maven snaphot dependencies from external repos I have several java components (WARs), all of them expose webservices, and they happen to use the samemessaging objects (DTOs).
This components all share a common maven dependency for the DTOs, let's call it "messaging-dtos.jar". This common dependency has a version number, for example messaging-dtos-1.2.3.jar, where 1.2.3 is the maven version for that artifact, which is published in a nexus repository and the like.
In the maven world, docker aside, it can get tedious to work with closed version dependencies. The solution for that is maven SNAPSHOTS. When you use for example Eclipse IDE, and you set a dependency to a SNAPSHOT version, this will cause the IDE to take the version from your current workspace instead of nexus, saving time by not having to close a version each time you make a small change.
Now, I don't know how to make this development cycle to work with docker and docker-compose. I have "Component A" which lives in its own git repo, and messaging-dtos.jar, which lives in another git repo, and it's published in nexus.
My Dockerfile simpy does a RUN mvn clean install at some point, bringing the closed version for this dependency (we are using Dockerfiles for the actual deployments, but for local environments we use docker-compose). This works for closed versions, but not for SNAPSHOTS (at least not for local SNAPSHOTs, I could publish the SNAPSHOT in nexus, but that creates another set of problems, with different content overwriting the same SNAPSHOT and such, been there and I would like to not come back).
I've been thinking about using docker-compose volumes at some point, maybe to mount whatever is in my local .m2 so ComponentA can find the snapshot dependency when it builds, but this doesn't feel "clean" enough, the build would depend partially on whatever is specified in the Dockerfile and partially on things build locally. I'm not sure that'd be the correct way.
Any ideas? Thanks!

A: I propose maintain two approaches: one for your local development environment (i.e. your machine) and another for building in your current CI tool.

*

*For your local dev environment:

*

*A Dockerfile that provides the system needs for your War application (i.e. Tomcat)

*docker-compose to mount a volume with the built war app, from Eclipse or whatever IDE.

*For CI (not your dev environment):

*

*A very similar Dockerfile but one that can build your application (with maven installed)

A practical example
I use the docker feature: multi stage build.
A single Dockerfile for both Dev and CI envs that might be splited but I prefer to maintain only one:
FROM maven as build
ARG LOCAL_ENV=false
COPY ./src /app/
RUN mkdir /app/target/
RUN touch /app/target/app.war
WORKDIR /app
# Run the following only if we are not in Dev Environment:
RUN test $LOCAL_ENV = "false" && mvn clean install

FROM tomcat
COPY --from=build /app/target/app.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps

The multi-stage build saves a lot of disk space discarding everything from the build, except what is being COPY --from='ed.
Then, docker-compose.yml used in Dev env:
version: "3"
services:
  app:
    build:
      context: .
      args:
        LOCAL_ENV: true
    volumes:
      - ./target/app.war:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/app.war

Build in CI (not your local machine):
# Will run `mvn clean install`, fetching whatever it needs from Nexus and so on.
docker build .

Run in local env (your local machine):
# Will inject the war that should be available after a build from your IDE
docker-compose up

Sintra: Lofty palaces of unrestrained beauty
The impressive castle of Sintra
Recently I had the privilege of taking an amazing vacation to Europe. It is something I'd been saving for and looking forward to for a long time. Of all my journeys I have many places which I'd like to share and write about, but I figured I'd start by examining a place which may lie off the beaten path for most. While most people wouldn't find themselves headed to Portugal with the town of Sintra in mind, I can assure you it's a marvelous daytrip from Lisbon and a great experience of the countryside and culture of Portugal. This town is easily reached by any number of buses or trains as well as a series of good highways if you happen to be using a car. The town always has visitors but the weekends are especially magical with various festivals and events. More than anything, the local attraction is the stunning beauty of the sculpted mountains and polished estates in this city. The landscape itself is majestic and inspiring, so much so that the Portuguese felt like crowning these natural formations with their Romantic expressions.
The beauties of the national park surround the town
The area within which the town is set is known as Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. This region is mountainous compared to the hilly aspects of Lisbon. Gorgeous cliff faces of sheet white are crowned with layers of verdant forests and wild flowers bloom in the abundant shade. This region was prized from hundreds of years ago for its natural beauty by poets and cartographers and eventually caught the eye of kings and nobles. Al Bacr, Luis de Camoes and Lord Byron were some of the many writers who were inspired by this landscape. Kings of both Portuguese and Moorish decent have been building here since the 9th century. The oldest building then is the Castelo dos Mouros which was built in the 9th century and renovated in the 19th century. This is a fantastic castle whose walls run the length of the front cliff which overlooks much of the forests and plains below. As you begin your climb towards the city in whatever form of transportation, these walls will be the first signs of Sintra to greet you. The restoration has been very exact by reconstructing much of what fell into disrepair but making sure everything remained in its exact locations and dimensions. It is a delight of medieval architecture and it possesses many of the castle essentials such as a cemetery, wells and storerooms for a siege and walls that defend against heavy warfare.
The castle is an acute summary of many Portuguese art forms
Another fabulous wonder with compelling views of the mountainside and region is the Sintra National Palace. This is a building whose foundations go back to the 10th century and Moorish rulers as well. Nothing remains of the original palace but the 15th century rebuilding King John of Portugal undertook displays a veritable synthesis of Moorish, Gothic and Manueline motifs. The building features its royal chapel as its earliest room and then branches out into a series of rooms built over many centuries often named for common birds. What is different about this palace from the Castelo dos Mouros is that this was often used as a royal summer residence and remains opulently decorated and furnished. Of all the palatial estates this one is closest to the small plateau which forms the town square and common district. Thus it is a great place from which to wander into town and explore many Portuguese culinary delights. Since you are only about 15 kilometers from the beach at this point be on the lookout for some great seafood as well as hearty country fare from the mountains.
The lofty reaches of the Pena Palace
Probably one of the most ornate palaces I've ever seen and definitely the crown jewel in this collection of Sintra is the famous Pena Palace which sits on the highest peak above the town and offers views from the sea on one side and all the way to Lisbon on the other. The walk even with a bus or car is not for the faint of heart, but the arrival at the palace from the moss-covered forest is simply stunning. There are a series of shuttles which take those unable or unwilling to walk right to the front gates, but if you can walk it, I highly recommend doing so. My first impressions of the Pena Palace from without are that of a delightful, colorful citadel that dominates the skyline. It is like a Romance era skyscraper which dazzles the eyes. As in the Sintra National Palace it is lavishly furnished and served as a summer residence with all the royal needs being met and accounted for. The foundations originally served as a chapel and then a monastery in the middle ages and eventually the palace was constructed after the monastery was destroyed by various earthquakes and storms. Ferdinand II in the 19th century took the abandoned property and decided to build a new summer residence for the royals. The result is today's palace which is a proper icon of the Romantic school of architecture. Besides the sumptuous interiors the external façade is a collection of fascinating ornaments from many different periods and movements. One set of yellow towers are adorned with vaulted arches while the courtyard has an Islamic style and the central passageway is set in a Mauve coloring with a fascinating carving of a newt coming out of the wall. Neo-Renaissance, Manueline and Gothic elements also abound on this truly eclectic structure.
many segments are decorated in the Manueline style
There are many places and things to see wherever you go exploring. Sometimes however I'm always attracted by what could be nearby to where I'm going. It's not that I don't appreciate the place where I am, it's just a premonition that great things are to be found all around. It's not always easy to get outside of an urban district especially when you are traveling, but Sintra is by far one of the easiest and best daytrips I've found outside a major city. If you value an encounter with beauty and nature and are looking for a step beyond the ordinary be sure and get to Sintra and find the jewels of the Portuguese landscape.
