Traders at the Tema Central Business District (CBD) have started breathing fresh air, after the Metropolitan Assembly's Waste Department evacuated heaps of refuse deposited in the area.
Additionally, silted drains were clearedn and for the first time, after months, water freely flowed, making the place more hygienic for traders, customers, residents and motorists.
Felix Mensah Anang-La, Metropolitan Chief Executive, said the exercise would be sustained at the CBD to keep the area clean.
He said the Assembly had conducted several Town Hall meetings at the various electoral areas and business centres to sensitise the public on the need to keep their surroundings clean.
The TMA has activated its Sanitation Court, and so, Mr Anang-La said, the Assembly would soon launch a full-scale enforcement of the Assembly's bye-laws on sanitation to punish offenders. He said personnel at the Public Health Department would be deployed to visit homes, communities, and business centres to inspect and ensure strict compliance with the Assembly's bye-laws on sanitation.
Again, the Assembly would ensure that every business operator in Tema, especially businesses within the CBD area, has a receptacle for refuse, and to ensure that it is properly managed and disposed of at the refuse transit station.
Indeed, business operators in the CBD do not have refuse bins in their shops, and so they improperly manage their waste.
Drawing the curtain down, Felix Mensah Anang-La warned that the Assembly was prepared to enforce its sanitation by-laws to the letter, therefore, residents and visitors to the area should be warned.


I'm a self-taught programmer with expertise for over 3 years. I have worked on many projects, websites and applications.
Another approach is to put ads on your website (even though it's not done yet) and add a donation option to your website.
If you have time, I suggest that you learn coding yourself. That saves you money but takes a great amount of time to do.
And if your interested, I'm a coder myself. You can give me a call and we'll discuss the details of your idea.
The schools are dispatching school buses to pick up students in AM and drop off in PM. Some students will be absent in AM, in PM parents not home?
My answer will be short: Definitely an app.
I'll be more than happy to discuss details further.


A little bit of Mediterranean magic, all the way from the beautiful Martigues in the South of France, where Olga and Fabien, a couple from very different parts of the world, came together in a Cuban-inspired celebration.
"All the best things come unexpectedly" Fabien likes to say. And he knows what he is talking about. It has been almost three years since he and Olga met in the city of Berlin. He, coming from France just for two months and she, coming from Russia and studying in Berlin. Both had a rough time before and neither really believed in love at all. Nevertheless, after a student barbecue party they met and... totally didn't like each other. But after some time we realised that it may be the destiny and a "power of love" was stronger than our will.
"Cuba was the central theme of our wedding. This country has a unique mixture of latin culture (like France and Spain) and communist history, like Russia." The perfect fusion, just like Fabien and Olga's relationship.
So following the idea of Cuba, Olga and Fabien really wanted to celebrate by the sea, and adopted a soft turquoise and white colour scheme. It also gave the boys lots of scope to adopt a Man from Delmonte dress code, very mediterranean/colonial cool.
From the very beginning our main criteria for the location was the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. We spent a lot of time trying to find the right location in the internet, until the parents of Fabien found something by chance. When we visited the location, we both immediately realised that it was The Place."
What a lovely thing to do. Simple, but beautiful.
Right, who's taking the horse to France?

Gran Canaria is without a doubt Europe's number one gay winter holiday destination. Situated off the coast of Morocco, Gran Canaria is one of the Canary Islands and, along with Tenerife, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are very popular holiday destinations for British holidaymakers. Like all the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria was formed by volcanic activity. As it's name suggests Gran Canaria is the largest of the canary islands and the most popular island for gay men. The island is Spanish territory with English and German widely spoken.
Located just 4 hours from most UK airports, it's a year round destination with temperatures rarely falling below 70F, even during our winter months. During our summer months, the average temperature is about 85F!
The Island is spilt into two very different parts - the northern sub-tropical areas that include the city of Las Palmas, the capital of Gran Canaria, and the arid parts of the South that include the major resorts of Playa del Ingles and Maspolomas.
Playa del Ingles and Maspolomas are where you'll find most of the gay-related and tourist places of interest - the area caters towards the gay traveller by offering exclusively gay accommodation, bars, clubs, discos, restaurants and excellent gay beaches!
Is it Gay?
To be accurate the main gay holiday resorts on Gran Canaria are Playa Des Ingles and Maspaplomas. Playa Des Ingles (English Beach) is Spain's largest tourist resort but, don't let that put you off. The majority of the gay bars/clubs are situated in and around the Yumbo Center (Playa) which it where the majority of the evening's entertainment takes place. The main reason for going to the Canaries is that it enables you to escape the miserable British winter and get some warm winter sun, at a reasonable price, in a gay friendly environment. This guide will concentrate on the two resorts of Playa Des Ingles, Maspalomas and the Yumbo Centre itself.
Being such a popular holiday destination there are many cheap flights/packages to The Canaries. Flight time from the UK is around 4 hours and the clocks are the same as UK time so no jet lag problems. Most holiday companies offer packages to Gran Canaria and the other Canary Islands. Flight only start from as little as a £100 and a one week self catering package from around £300. There are cheaper packages available but you'll probably end up in some tower block. Ps If you're offered the Korona Rocha hotel I wouldn't bother, it seems to be the one place that always seems to have vacancies and you can probably guess why.
For the complete package of flights and accommodation your best bet is to check out some of the offers available from Sensations Holidays who specialise in gay holiday packages to Gran Canaria and other popular European gay holiday destinations.
Euros €. around €1.5 to a £1;. There are cash machines on the island which take Visa, Mastercard, Cirrus (allowing you to withdraw money from your current account).
The island is well served by buses serving the beaches, however the most common method of transport are taxis. These are cheap and plentiful. It costs around £3 from Maspalomas to the Yumbo Centre in Playa. When you go out in the evenings just ask the reception desk at the hotel or apartment where you are staying to call you one.
Gay Bars / Nightlife
We all got the impression that there were less people around than in previous years although the bars filled up as the week progressed. As I mentioned before The Yumbo, a vaste shopping centre during the day transforms itself into a heaving mass of gay bars in the evening. We've been coming here for 5 years on and off and that perhaps the problem. Familiarity breeds discontent. The place is trashy and yet quite fun. Gay bars of every description are there to tempt the punters. The transformation from a family shopping centre into a gay mecca is quite astonishing. In fact with their shutters down it is often easy miss the bars during the day. However in the evening as the families go home and the queens come out to play. Most people head for the Yumbo centre around 10pm and work their way around the various bars. Humbel Humbel is very popular and serves very reasonably prized drinks. Enough to keep a "girl" happy anyway.
As the evening progresses the crowd tends to congregate on the top level of the Yumbo centre where you will find a younger trendier crowd. The main bars on on the top level are Tybos, The Mykonos Bar, And Why Not, and finally Metropolis which is a large bar with a dance floor. Both Metropolis and Mykonos bar have popular dark rooms where unmentionables go on. Don't forget moderation at all times and certainly safer sex all round. Some of those Spanish boyz do tend to get carried away.
"Robbing dogs." Be careful when you go out in the evenings to just take the money to need and try to leave credit card at home especially is you go in the dark rooms. You may think you're in for a treat when someone starts fumbling with your zip but half the time the only thing you'll be relieved of is your wallet/credit cards. And that would definately bugger up your holiday.
Around 3am the crowd moves onto the other side of the Yumbo centre where you will find the XL Club and Kings. Although Kings was traditionally the most popular of the two clubs, over the last couple of year XL seems to have stolen the lead in popularity with its mix of popular dance tracks blasting out over the dance floor. The is also a large seating area outside both bars where people sit, chat, cruise or generally loiter before they decide enough is enough andventure back to their "virgin couches".
There is a huge variety of accommodation available. Playa is more built up with a large number of large hotels from 5* down to your average 2/3 star self catering hotel block. Playa is often refered to as Maspalomas has more "chalet-type" apartments, some of which operate on a time share basis. Maspalomas seems to get slighty better weather as its not so close to the mountains as Playa. If your going to spend your evenings in the Yumbo Center you might try and request hotel accommodation close to that. However taxis are cheap and plentiful and its only around 5 euros or £3.5 from one resort to the next.

You must be joking. If you want a day out sightseeing the north of the island tends to be more lucious. The are also plently of shops in the capital Las Palmas including a Marks and Spencers in case you may have lost any underwear on your travels.
There are many restaurants in the Yumbo centre catering for a variety of tastes from steak and chips to traditional spanish tourist fare such as Paella. For those of you self catering there is a very reasonably prices supermarket in the middle of the Yumbo centre. Its situated on the middle level right in the centre of the complex. It sells cheap spirits and food for those queens that don't live solely on booze and cigarettes.
The Other Islands
Click here for our gay guide to Tenerife
The are a number of cyber-cafes situated in Playa des Ingles and a number of the bars have Net machines which cost around 500 ptas for five minutes use, enough to check your email or send a quick message home.
Mobile Phones.
As long as you have a dual band mobile phone and informed your service provider before you leave home you shouldn't have any problem. Certainly phones using TMobile and Vodafone networks switched across to the local with any problems as all. We actually found having a mobile essential if there are a large group of you travelling and not everyone is staying in the same apartments. Remember though when someone calls you on your mobile overseas you also pay for the incoming call (around 80p/minute) so don't get carried away.
The gay beach is situated about a mile along Maspalomas beach on the southern tip of the island. There are plenty of buses or cheap taxis which will take you down to the lighthouse at one end. Walk through the shops and then trek along the beach for about a mile until you see the queens congregated en masse. In the evening people often walk back across the sand dunes towards Playa. Here the phrase "feeling like Mary's donkey" comes into its own. Its a fair ole trek across soft sand. For those people wishing to toast their "buns", nude sunbathing is also allowed on the beaches.
Carnival Week and Gay Pride
Although Gran Canaria makes a fine holiday destination throughout the winter months we have traditionally tried to plan our holiday to coincide with the carnival week that takes places in the first week of March. The carnival itself runs over two weeks although the second week is the highlight with a huge Drag queen competition. The are also spanish groups entertaining the crowds. The local population turns out in force as well to celebrate carnival. The week finishes with a parade through the town on the Saturday afternoon, an all night open air party and then a firework display on the Sunday night when they set fire to a large sardine which will apparently bring the island good luck during the year ahead. The whole thing is very camp with lots of dressing up, attractive spanish boys in costumes mixing with outrageous drag queens. The beauty is the spanish don't even bat an eyelid as everyone is basically there for a huge piss up. Try and make it that week. It certainly adds something to the holiday.
Gay Pride Weekend is 5th - 11th May 2010. The Maspalomas Gay Pride weekend is increasing in popularity and is to be recommended if you're looking to fit in a spring weekend break.
In 2010 Maspalomas Carnival week takes place from 24th February - 3rd March
The annual carnival in the resort town of Maspalomas, on Gran Canaria, features a drag queen competition, a parade and a show, as well as many other events. There are fiestas everywhere in town, although the main venue is the Yumbo Shopping Centre in Playa del Inglés.
Shopping / Duty Free
The other advantage of coming to the Canaries is the cheap shopping. Like the other island, Gran Canaria is so called tax free meaning prices of luxury goods such as electrical, perfums and alcohol are sufficently cheaper than in the UK. Shopping for booze is easy. Just head into one of the large supermarkets and take your pick. With perfum and electricals bargains are to be had but don't accept the price on the shelf or the first price you are quoted. Everything is up for negotiation which you may hate or see as a challenge. Be prepared to walk away if you're not happy with a price. The salesperson will normally come back with a better offer. Although part of Spain, the Canary Islands are classed as being outside Europe. You are therefore allowed to buy duty free cigarettes and booze at the airport before you leave but given the islands are tax free themselves you probably find it cheaper to buy stuff when you get there.
Your best bet is a wander in the sand dunes (behind the gay beach) in the late afternoon. Don't forget the sun block. Swimming trunks optional. If you're desperate the dark rooms are alway there although there are so many gay men out at night if should be too hard to flash those lashes and attract company.
To sum up Playa des Ingles is basically trash and tower blocks and is commonly refered as Brimingham is the sun.
Yes there is a large gay scene but one that harks back to London in the early 90's. Trashy bars that quite happily take you money without with fair expensive drinks although some bars downstairs in the Yumbo are more reasonable.
We went carnival week in Maspalomas which runs in the first week of March each year. The main events concentrated around the Yumbo, that vaste unsightly shopping centre which houses the majority of the gay bars.
In its favour Gran Canaria like the rest of the Canaries offers a sunny break away from the cold british winter nights and if you go with a group of friends it can be a lot of fun. If you're visiting Gran Canaria this year let us know how you get on.

The FAA adopted a zero-tolerance policy for unruly passengers earlier this year.
The agency has proposed more than $1 million in fines against unruly airline passengers this year.

Above: vitello tonnato at Osteria More e Macine in La Morra (Piedmont) earlier this year. My bromance Giovanni always ribs me about how little I eat when he and I are on the road together. But his grin is always as wide as a mile when he sees me devour my vitello tonnato with gusto, religiously washing it down with some young Nebbiolo.
Although the dish is commonly made with mayonnaise today, most Italian gastronomic pundits maintain that true vitello tonnato should be mayonnaise-free. And they often point to Artusi's mayonnaiseless recipe, first published toward the end of the nineteenth century, as the original recipe (La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiare bene [The Science of Cooking and the Art of Eating Well], 1891). This attribution is owed in no small part to the fact that Artusi's cookery book became wildly popular toward by the end of his lifetime. And today, it's rare not to find a dog-eared copy on the shelves in the homes of the typical Italian family who often uses it for everyday and festive cooking (I can attest to this from my own experience in Italian homes).
It's important to note that Artusi also included a recipe for mayonnaise in his game-changing tome.
So it's clear that he was aware of the mayonnaise but did not include it in his recipe for vitello tonnato. This fact would seem to indicate, definitively, that the use of mayonnaise was introduced much later.


GEIGER-JONES COMPANY, NO 438. HARRY T. HALL, Superintendent of Banks and Banking of the State of Ohio, Appt., v. DON C. COULTRAP. NO 439. HARRY T. HALL, Superintendent of Banks and Banking of the State of Ohio, Appt., v. WILLIAM R. ROSE and the RiChard Auto Manufacturing Company. NO 440.
Nos. 438, 439, and 440.
Argued October 16 and 17, 1916.
The Geiger-Jones Company is an Ohio corporation, licensed to do the business of buying and selling investment securities, and of buying and selling the stocks and bonds of industrial corporations. It has a regularly established clientage, it alleges, of about 11,000 persons residing in the state of Ohio and other states, and has sold and there are now outstanding in the hands of persons to whom it has sold, securities of about twenty to twenty-five million dollars, par value, and has stockholders in Ohio and other states. That the securities above referred to consist of securities of over twenty corporations of Ohio and other states and foreign countries. That it is still selling such securities and is and has been engaged in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce.
The complaint of Rose and the Auto Company is that Hall, superintendent of banks and banking, is actively engaged in the prosecution of the proceedings against Rose, and has, together with the prosecuting attorney, interfered with, interrupted, and completely prevented Rose from carrying on his business in the state of Ohio, and especially in attempting upon his part to dispose of and sell the stock of the Auto Company, and that the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff of Cuyahoga county, unless restrained, will assist and actively cooperate with Hall, to the great and irreparable injury of both Rose and the Auto Company.
Messrs. Robert R. Reed, George W. Wickersham, and Charles K. Allen as amicl curiae.
The assertion of such conflict and limitation is an ever-recurring one; and yet it is approached as if it were a new thing under the sun. The primary postulate of the state is that the law under review is an exercise of the police power of the state, and that power, we have said, is the least limitable of the exercises of government. Sligh v. Kirkwood, 237 U. S. 52, 59 L. ed. 835, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 501. We get no accurate idea of its limitations by opposing to it the declarations of the 14th Amendment that no person shall be deprived of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law, or denied the equal protection of the laws. Noble State Bank v. Haskell, 219 U. S. 104, 110, 55 L. ed. 112, 116, 32 L.R.A.(N.S.) 1062, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 186, Ann. Cas. 1912A, 487. A stricter inquiry is necessary, and we must consider what it is of life, liberty, and property that the Constitution protects.
What life is and what may or may not affect it, we have quite accurate tests; and what liverty is in its outside sense, and, in like sense, what property is. We know that it is of the essence of liberty—indeed, we may say, of life—that there shall be freedom of conduct, and yet there may be limitations upon such freedom. We know that, in the concept of property, there are the rights of its acquisition, disposition, and enjoyment,—in a word, dominion over it. Yet all of these rights may be regulated. Such are the declarations of the cases, become platitudes by frequent repetition and many instances of application.
It will be observed, therefore, that the law is a regulation of business, constrains conduct only to that end, the purpose being to protect the public against the imposition of unsubstantial schemes and the securities based upon them. Whatever prohibition there is, is a means to the same purpose, made necessary, it may be supposed, by the persistence of evil and its insidious forms and the experience of the inadequacy of penalties or other repressive measures. The name that is given to the law indicates the evil at which it is aimed; that is, to use the language of a cited case, 'speculative schemes which have no more basis than so many feet of 'blue sky;" or, as stated by counsel in another case, 'to stop the sale of stock in fly-by-night concerns, visionary oil wells, distant gold mines, and other like fraudulent exploitations.' Even if the descriptions be regarded as rhetorical, the existence of evil is indicated, and a belief of its detriment; and we shall not pause to do more than state that the prevention of deception is within the competency of government, and that the appreciation of the consequences of it is not open for our review. Trading Stamp Cases, Rast v. Van Deman & L. Co. 240 U. S. 342, 60 L. ed. 679, L.R.A.1917A, 421, 36 Sup. Ct. Rep. 370; Tanner v. Little, 240 U. S. 369, 60 L. ed. 691, 36 Sup. Ct. Rep. 379; Pitney v. Washington, 240 U. S. 387, 391, 60 L. ed. 703, 706, 36 Sup. Ct. Rep. 385. Therefore, the purpose being legal, the question only remains whether the manner in which it is accomplished is illegal. This is contended, and the provisions which render the law void are found, it is stated, in: (1) Power conferred upon the commissioner to grant or refuse licenses; (2) the authority given the commissioner to place forbidden restrictions and burdens on the conduct of the business of one who has obtained a license.
We have very lately decided a case upon the principle of the power of the state to prevent frauds and impositions. Hutchinson Ice Cream Co. v. Iowa, 242 U. S. 153, 61 L. ed. 217, 37 Sup. Ct. Rep. 28. The principle applies as well to securities as to material products, the provisions of the law necessarily varying with the objects. As to material products the purpose may be accomplished by a requirement of inherent purity. The intangibility of securities, they being representatives or purporting to be representatives of something else, of property, it may be, in distant states and countries, schemes of plausible pretensions, requires a difference of provision, and the integrity of the securities can only be assured by the probity of the dealers in them and the information which may be given of them. This assurance the state has deemed necessary for its welfare to require; and the requirement is not unreasonable or inappropriate. It extends to the general market something of the safeguards that are given to trading upon the exchanges and stock boards of the country,—safeguards that experience has adopted as advantageous. Inconvenience may be caused and supervision and surveillance, but this must yield to the public welfare; and against counsel's alarm of consequences, we set the judgment of the state.
We turn back, therefore, to consider the more specific objections to the law. The basis of them is, as we have seen, the power conferred upon the commissioner, which is asserted to be arbitrary. The objection is somewhat difficult to handle. It centers in the provision that requires the commissioner, as a condition of a license, 'to be satisfied of the good repute in business of such applicant and named agents,' and in the power given him to revoke the license or refuse to renew it upon ascertaining that the licensee 'is of bad business repute, has violated any provision of the act, or has engaged or is about to engage, under favor of such license, in illegitimate business or fraudulent transactions.' It is especially objected that, as to these requirements, no standard is given to guide or determine the decision of the commissioner. Therefore, it is contended that the discretion thus vested in the commissioner leaves "room for the play and action of purely personal and arbitrary power."
We are a little surprised that it should be implied that there is anything recondite in a business reputation or its existence as a fact which should require much investigation. If in special cases there may be controversy, those cases the statute takes care of; an adverse judgment by the commissioner is reviewable by the courts. § 6373-8. So also as to the other judgments.
Besides, it is certainly apparent that, if the conditions are within the power of the state to impose, they can only be ascertained by an executive officer. Reputation and character are quite tangible attributes, but there can be no legislative definition of them that can automatically attach to or identify individuals possessing them, and necessarily the aid of some executive agency must be invoked. The contention of appellees would take from government one of its most essential instrumentalities, of which the various national and state commissions are instances. But the contention may be answered by authority. In Gundling v. Chicago, 177 U. S. 183, 44 L. ed. 725, 20 Sup. Ct. Rep. 633, an ordinance of the city of Chicago was passed on which required a license of dealers in cigarettes, and, as a condition of the license, that the applicant, if a single individual, all of the members of the firm, if a copartnership, and any person or persons in charge of the business, if a corporation, should be of good character and reputation, and the duty was delegated to the mayor of the city to determine the existence of the conditions. The ordinance was sustained. To this case may be added Red 'C' Oil Mfg. Co. v. Board of Agriculture, 222 U. S. 380, 394, 56 L. ed. 240, 245, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 152, and cases cited; Mutual Film Corp. v. Industrial Commission, 236 U. S. 230, 59 L. ed. 552, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 387, Ann Cas. 1916C, 296; Brazee v. Michigan, 241 U. S. 340, 341, 60 L. ed. 1034, 1035, 36 Sup. Ct. Rep. 561. See also Reetz v. Michigan, 188 U. S. 505, 47 L. ed. 563, 23 Sup. Ct. Rep. 390; New York ex rel. Lieberman v. Van De Carr, 199 U. S. 552, 50 L. ed. 305, 26 Sup. Ct. Rep. 144.
The discretion of the commissioner is qualified by his duty, and besides, as we have seen, the statute gives judicial review of his action. Pending such review, we must accord to the commissioner a proper sense of duty and the presumption that the functions intrusted to him will be executed in the public interest, not wantonly or arbitrarily to deny a license to or take one away from a reputable dealer. (Plymouth Coal Co. v. Pennsylvania, 232 U. S. 531, 545, 58 L. ed. 713, 719, 34 Sup. Ct. Rep. 359); and, as we have said, in cases where there can be a dispute of fact, the statute provides for judicial review, and we see no legal objection to the designation of a particular court for such review.
We are not disposed to give serious attention to the contention that while the statute in form prohibits sales, 'it at the same time necessarily prevents purchases, and thereby shields contemplated purchasers from loss of property by the exercise of their own 'defective judgment,' and puts them as well as the sellers under guardianship. If we may suppose that such purchasers would assert a liberty to form a 'defective judgment,' and resent means of information as a limitation of their freedom, we must wait until they themselves appear to do so. Besides, there are examples in legislation of unsolicited protection, and there is much in the business we are considering which urges to an imitation of the examples. It is not wise to put out of view the tendencies of the business, and that it tempts to and facilitates speculative judgments, if the purpose be trading, improvident judgments, if the purpose be investment. Whatever detriment may come from such judgments the law may be powerless to prevent; but against counterfeits of value the law can give protection, and such is the purpose of the statute under review. It must be judged of upon that consideration, not upon the assertion of an absolute liberty of conduct which does not exist.
We cannot give separate attention to the asserted discriminations. It is enough to say that they are within the power of classification which a state has. A state 'may direct its law against what it deems the evil as it actually exists without covering the whole field of possible abuses, and it may do so none the less that the forbidden act does not differ in kind from those that are allowed. . . . If a class is deemed to present a conspicuous example of what the legislature seeks to prevent, the 14th Amendment allows it to be dealt with although otherwise and merely logically not distinguishable from others not embraced in the law.' Central Lumber Co. v. South Dakota, 226 U. S. 157, 160, 57 L. ed. 164, 169, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 66. The cases were cited from which those propositions were deduced. To the same effect is Armour & Co. v. North Dakota, 240 U. S. 517, 60 L. ed. 776, 36 Sup. Ct. Rep. 440, Ann. Cas. 1916D, 548.
The provisions of the law, it will be observed, apply to dispositions of securities within the state, and while information of those issued in other states and foreign countries is required to be filed (§ 6373-9), they are only affected by the requirement of a license of one who deals in them within the state. Upon their transportation into the state there is no impediment,—no regulation of them or interference with them after they get there. There is the exaction only that he who disposes of them there shall be licensed to do so, and this only that they may not appear in false character and impose an appearance of a value which they may possess,—and this certainly is only an indirect burden upon them as objects of interstate commerce, if they may be regarded as such. It is a police regulation strictly, not affecting them until there is an attempt to make disposition of them within the state. To give them more immunity than this is to give them more immunity than more tangible articles are given, they having no exemption from regulations the purpose of which is to prevent fraud or deception. Such regulations affect interstate commerce in them only incidentally. New York ex rel. Hatch v. Reardon, 204 U. S. 152, 51 L. ed. 415, 27 Sup. Ct. Rep. 188, 9 Ann. Cas. 736; Ware & Leland v. Mobile County, 209 U. S. 405, 52 L. ed. 855, 28 Sup. Ct. Rep. 526, 14 Ann. Cas. 1031; Engel v. O'Malley, 219 U. S. 128, 55 L. ed. 128, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 190; Brodnax v. Missouri, 219 U. S. 285, 55 L. ed. 219, 31 Sup. Ct. Rep. 238; Banker Bros. Co. v. Pennsylvania, 222 U. S. 210, 56 L. ed. 168, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 38; Savage v. Jones, 225 U. S. 501, 56 L. ed. 1182, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 715; Standard Stock Food Co. v. Wright, 225 U. S. 540, 56 L. ed. 1197, 32 Sup. Ct. Rep. 784; Trading Stamp Cases, supra. With these cases International Textbook Co. v. Pigg, 217 U. S. 91, 54 L. ed. 678, 27 L.R.A.(N.S.) 493, 30 Sup. Ct. Rep. 481, 18 Ann. Cas. 1103; Buck Stove & Range Co. v. Vickers, 226 U. S. 205, 57 L. ed. 189, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 41, and the Lottery Case (Champion v. Ames) 188 U. S. 321, 47 L. ed. 492, 23 Sup. Ct. Rep. 321, 13 Am. Crim. Rep. 561, are not in discordance.
We might, indeed, ask, When do the designated securities cease migration in interstate commerce and settle to the jurisdiction of the state? Material things, choses in possession, pass out of interstate commerce when they emerge from the original package. Do choses in action have a longer immunity? It is to be remembered that though they may differ in manner of transfer, they are in the same form in the hands of the purchaser as they are in the hands of the seller, and in the hands of both as they are brought into the state. We ask again, Do they never pass out of interstate commerce? Have they always the freedom of the state? Is there no point of time at which the state can expose the evil that they may mask? Is anything more necessary for the supremacy of the national power than that they be kept free when in actual transportation, subjected to the jurisdiction of the state only when they are attempted to be sold to the individual purchaser? The questions are pertinent, the answer to them one way or the other, of consequence; but we may pass them, for, regarding the securities as still in interstate commerce after their transportation to the state is ended and they have reached the hands of dealers in them, their interstate character is only incidentally affected by the statute.

Wade's World Foundation
Link: www.wadesworldfoundation.org
The Wade's World Foundation provides support to community-based organizations that promote education, health and social skills for children in at-risk situations. Dwyane was inspired to start the foundation because he wanted to give back to underserved communities and support issues of purpose. "I can't just let basketball define who I am and what I am supposed to become," said Wade. "Like my mother always tells me, '[My life] is bigger than basketball.'" Since 2003, Dwyane and his family have been dedicated to giving back to their core communities in the Chicago and South Florida areas through a variety of community outreach programs. As the WWF continues to develop and expand, the mission is to touch young lives around the globe. Dwyane has hosted a free basketball camp for nearly 600 youth from the Robbins, Ill. area for the last three years and for the first time in August 2007, he hosted "A Week of Wade's World in South Florida" – a weeklong series of events and appearances that touched hundreds of South Florida kids. With the goal of building a youth center in the area where he grew up, Dwyane will continue to support a variety of programs that inspire, uplift and motivate.

Makar Sankranti 2021: 6 Traditional Foods To Celebrate Makar Sankranti
Gear up yourself for the festive season as Markar Sankranti is around the corner. This festival is considered to be a special festival celebrated mainly by North Indians. Traditional foods are the heart and soul of this festival. The different States prefer varieties of foods during the time of Makar Sankranti . For example In Uttar Pradesh people do DaanPinds which include ( Matar, Potatoes, Gud, Kali Til, Rice, Turmeric, Salt, Coins).
There are mainly six varieties of traditional foods like Chikkis, Lai Pattis, Gud, Sewa ka Ladoo, Ramdana,Til ka Ladoo. Til is considered to be the most used item in the making of these traditional foods of Uttar Pradesh. Makar Sankranti is also referred to as Khichdi In Uttar Pradesh because this festival is a harvest festival and Khichdi is one of the important dishes of Makar Sankranti.
Why Makar Sankranti is Also Referred to as Khichdi in many states of India: The only reason is that Khichdi is considered to be one of the basic dishes cooked and loved by many households in India. The aromatic mixture of rice and spices is the most preferred festive cuisines cooked and loved by households. 'Khichdi' word originated from Uttar Pradesh itself. This aromatic recipe is considered to be the favourite food of the Hindus and God Gorakshnath whose idol is worshipped by Hindus. The Khichdi is then served as Prasaad to all the devotees who visit there.
Since this dish is prepared in a single pot it also established the symbol of unity and oneness.
Til and Gur( jaggery) delicacies are considered to be the second most favourite ingredients loved by Hindus. Makar Sankranti is actually incomplete without these two special ingredients. Like Maharashtrians made Til Ka Ladoo and Gajak from these special ingredients which have a strong cultural and traditional importance.
Bengalis love to prepare Ladoos made up of puffed rice and jaggery. These special Ladoos are also referred to as Moa in Bengal.
Other than this Bengal is also famous for its Nolen GurerPayesh. This sweet and tasty recipe can also be referred to as Kheer . It is mainly made up of rice and a special variety of date palms and jaggery.
In Bihar people love to munch on Lai Pattis and Peanut Chakkis mainly made up of Lais and peanuts. These special pattis and Chakkis are made from puffed rice, peanuts and jaggery.
Gajak is again one of the special recipes loved by Hindus during the time of Makar Sankranti. This recipe is made of peanuts, sesame seeds and jaggery.
People believed that Makar Sankranti is incomplete without the use of these ingredients especially Til and Jaggery. As these ingredients have both cultural and social importance. For example, the dish or the Makar Sankranti recipe is incomplete without the use of Jaggery. Jaggery brings taste and sweetness among the relation and filled them with zeal and enthusiasm.
These traditional foods of Makar Sankranti have their own significance and importance. Each ingredient has its own importance and cultural and traditional values. This year as well, this festival will be celebrated on 14th January as per the Hindu Calendar.


Dating back to the offseason and throughout training camp, Fred Hoiberg has declared his lineup an open competition.
On Wednesday, the Bulls coach put Jabari Parker's money where Hoiberg's mouth is.
Parker's $20 million payday landed in a reserve role for the Bulls' 104-89 victory over the Pacers at the United Center, during which Zach LaVine continued his strong preseason with 22 points.
Hoiberg downplayed the lineup change, which also featured rookie Wendell Carter Jr. starting over veteran Robin Lopez, as "just an experiment." But sources said Hoiberg has held internal discussions with his staff about shelving the plan to start Parker at small forward.
That would mean Parker, who has started 150 of his 183 career games, would move into a reserve role behind Portis and, eventually, Lauri Markkanen when Markkanen returns from his six- to eight-week absence for an elbow injury.
The move, at least for one night worked. The Bulls led by as many as 18 in a first quarter that Parker ended with a step-back jumper that beat the buzzer.
The better defensive effort led to transition opportunities and 18 fast-break points. The better shot selection and spacing — Justin Holiday sank four 3-pointers en route to 22 points — aided defensive transition.
Portis continued his strong preseason, finishing with 20 points on 8-for-11 shooting along with six rebounds. Parker scored all 11 of his points in the first half.
After the game, Parker declined comment to reporters.
But Hoiberg had praise for the different starting lineup and for Parker coming off the bench.
"I loved our energy coming out of the gate. I liked the way the lineup looked on this first night," Hoiberg said. "I thought Jabari as a facilitator in the first half did some really nice things. He was aggressive, looking to score and (he) did some really unselfish kickouts as well."
Parker, who first checked in for Portis at the 4 minute, 38 second mark of the first quarter, had shot 24.3 percent in his first three preseason games. Worse, there were multiple examples of Parker displaying effort issues in defensive transition.
And while Hoiberg said Parker took the news well, multiple sources said Parker quickly exited when the morning shootaround concluded and he was informed of the news.
"I've talked to Jabari about what I'm thinking about what his role will be with the second group," Hoiberg said. "Obviously, Bobby has been awesome. He has played extremely well and given great energy. He has played within himself and is putting up good numbers.
Carter flashed strong defense early before drawing two fouls and leaving for Lopez at the 6:49 mark of the first quarter. He finished with two points and five rebounds in 17 minutes.
Lopez, who also was benched last season for the Bulls to help improve their draft lottery positioning, took the high road again.
"You have to roll with what happens in this league, so I'm doing to do what I can with the second unit," he said.
LaVine posted his third 20-point outing of the preseason, and it featured 10 trips to the free-throw line.

A Cartman anális beültetése (Cartman gets an Anal Probe) a South Park című rajzfilmsorozat 1. része (az 1. évad 1. epizódja). Elsőként 1997. augusztus 13-án sugározták az Egyesült Államokban. Az epizód megismerteti velünk a főbb szereplőket, vagyis Ericet, Kyle-t, Stant, Wendy-t, és Kenny-t, akik meg akarják menteni Ike-ot az idegenektől. Az epizód írása alatt a sorozat készítőinek még nem volt szerződésük a Comedy Centrallal, később Parker azt mondta, hogy nagy volt a "nyomás" az internetes rövidfilmek miatt. A pénz hiánya miatt a készítők még csak sima papírkivágásokat alkalmaztak és stop motion technikát. Ezért ez az egyetlen South Park epizód, amely számítógépes animáció nélkül készült el.

Cselekmény
A történet a buszmegállóban kezdődik. Miközben a buszt várják, Cartman elmeséli a többieknek, hogy álmában elrabolták az idegenek és anális beültetést végeztek el rajta. Stanék próbálják meggyőzni, hogy az eset valójában nem álom volt, de Cartman nem hisz nekik. Közben felbukkan Séf bácsi és megkérdezi, látták-e az idegen űrhajót, ezzel akaratlanul is alátámasztva Stan állítását. Miután a gyerekek beszállnak a buszba, Kyle észreveszi, hogy az idegenek elfogták az öccsét, Ike-ot, de a buszsofőr, Vackor néni nem hajlandó megállítani a buszt.

Eközben a közeli farmon több marhát is kifordítottak az idegenek, de Barbrady rendőr szerint semmi szokatlan nincs a dologban. A tehenek észreveszik az idegeneket és ijedtükben a vasútállomásra menekülnek, Barbrady pedig követi őket.

Wendy az étkezdében randira hívja Stan-t, aki zavarában elhányja magát (ez visszatérő motívum  lett a sorozat korai epizódjaiban). Amikor Séf bácsi megtudja, hogy Kyle öccsét elrabolták, felszólítja a gyerekeket, hogy keressék meg. Séf meghúzza a tűzjelzőt, hogy Kyle-ék kijuthassanak az iskolából.

Hogy odacsalják az idegeneket, Stan, Wendy és Kyle kikötözi Cartmant egy fához, akinek hátsójából hirtelen előtör egy hatalmas antenna. Hamarosan az idegenek is felbukkannak és magukkal hozzák Ike-ot, akit Kyle rávesz, hogy ugorjon le az űrhajóról. Az idegenek eközben bocsánatot kérnek a tehenektől, majd Cartmant magukkal viszik az űrhajóval, de másnap reggelre visszahozzák.Mérgesen veszi tudomásul hogy ami történt nem álom volt.

Kenny halála
 Kennyt az idegenek egy sugárnyalábbal kilökik az úttestre, ezután eltapossák a tehenek, majd elüti egy autó. Végül a tetemét egerek hordják el (ez szintén visszatérő geg lett a későbbiekben).

Érdekességek
 Szintén ez az egyetlen olyan epizód, melyet Trey Parker és Matt Stone teljesen egyedül készített el. Ez az epizód 3 hónap alatt készült el.
 Ebben a részben Kalap úrnak még nincsenek szemei, a későbbiekben viszont már vannak.
 A rész előtt készült egy "Sugározatlan Pilot". Szerepelt benne Cartman apja és nővére, az ötödikesek (azaz a hatodikosok) Pip és Gólem nővér. Az alapmű ugyanaz, de néhány részletet kihagytak, illetve hozzáadtak a sugárzott, hivatalos 1x1 részhez.

Bakik
 Amikor a gyerekek először mennek oda Séf bácsihoz, a "CHEF" felirat a kötényén kisbetűvel szerepel, majd később felváltva lesz kis- és nagybetűs.
 Amikor a gyerekek a buszon ültek, folyton változott a létszámuk. Először csak 4-en voltak, aztán többen lettek.

SAMAD AEROSPACE UNVEILS LUXURY Q-STARLING PERSONAL AIR VEHICLE
SAMAD aerospace, the British hybrid electric VTOL aviation company, is pleased to launch its concept for Q-Starling, a high-end Personal Air Vehicle (PAV). With an innovative modern design taking elements from both fast jets and VTOL aircraft, the Q-Starling represents a new pinnacle in future sustainable aircraft design. Image � SAMAD.
Combining the benefits of traditional flight with VTOL capabilities, the Q-Starling will seat two passengers and can be flown by pilots with an anticipated appropriate class rating.
Taking inspiration from classic aircraft such as the Victor, Hawk, Mustang and modern high-end sport cars, the Q-Starling interior also has an exclusive stylish design. The cockpit has been designed to the highest automotive standards of comfort and will include additional transparencies and synthetic vision to enhance situational awareness.
Representing a step forward in VTOL design, the Q-Starling will be a 'must have' for those who wish to have the latest and greatest in Personal Air Vehicles.
Q-Starling will be powered by a hybrid-electric turbo-generator which will provide power for a large diameter hover fan and a fly-by-wire controlled 'Reaction Control System' (RCS). The turbo-generator will then provide forward thrust once the aircraft has transitioned from vertical flight.
Controlled by a comprehensive electronic flight system, the Q-Starling will have numerous and extensive safety systems in-built to prevent the aircraft from departing the flight envelope. In keeping with other ultra-light aircraft, it will feature as a ballistic recovery system. The traditional rudder pedals have been absorbed into the flight system and present the pilot with a simplified side-stick control. The Q-Starling will maintain full authoritative control but having the benefit of a simplified control interface. The aircraft is expected to have a low entry barrier to private flight with an expected conversion requirement of around 10 hours for the average PPL.
All materials used in the aircraft are made of ultra-light carbon fibre giving a higher performance capability and enabling semi-aerobatic manoeuvres due to the increased strength of the composite material and design.
RV BITS - RV LIGHT MODULE - A WORLD FIRST
The above is a CAD render, another render of the two modules, installed left and installed right. We have done extensive testing and the first small production run is in process.
A world first, well I could not find any other products like this. Backtrack a bit. We here in SA went to Level 5 lock down late in March. I could not see myself doing nothing during that period and have decided to start with an idea that I have been rolling around for the last two years or so.
I can post the whole thought process and how it has evolved, but decided to just present you with the final product.
-: A modular design with a Nav Light, Strobe Light and Landing Light all in one.
-: A Modular design where the end user can swop out each light module as well as each power supply
-: Adjustable with one screw
-: Three canned power supplies in order to eliminate RF Noise
-: Easy installation or retrofit without even removing the wingtip
-: 400 Lumens Nav Light
-: 2750 Lumens Strobe Light
-: 1500 Lumens at 11 degrees Landing Light
-: 5A total consumption

CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS AND THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought on many questions and concerns within the aviation insurance industry. On the 7th October 2020 the DJA Aviation team hosted a webinar with the help of AERO South Africa, to look at the impact of this global pandemic on the general aviation industry and specifically aviation insurance.
The economic instability brought on by Covid has affected aviation, aircraft owners and operators in the sector, which caused a big drop-in activity not only in flying but also in purchases of insurance.
"The insurance market had been struggling prior to the pandemic. We are entering a third year of insurance adjusting and what is very clear is that the global aviation insurance market as a whole is facing unprecedented losses and an urgent requirement for insurers to balance their books in order to respond to claims has to be made, says Jackie Nieuwoudt, New Business Development at DJA Aviation.

THE USAF AIR FORCE'S E-4B 'DOOMSDAY PLANE' REPLACEMENT PROGRAM POSTPONED.
The US Air Force has postponed its plans to replace the E-4B "Doomsday Plane." Nicknamed the "Doomsday plane" due to its ability to withstand a nuclear blast, the iconic blue and white E-4B serves two purposes: to provide a secure and survivable command centre in the event of a nuclear war and to transport defence secretaries around the world.Photo � USAF
The service originally intended to issue a request for proposals for the Survivable Airborne Operations Centre program in December, which would formally kick off a search for a replacement for the four aging E-4B Nightwatch airborne command posts currently based at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebreska.
The E-4B was derived from the Boeing 747-200 and introduced by the Air Force in 1974. But after almost 50 years in service, the aircraft is nearing the end of its service life and it getting more difficult for maintainers to keep up with the repairs necessary to keep the small fleet up and running - especially given the requirement that at least one plane be kept on alert status at all times.
Under the SAOC program, the Air Force had planned to buy new commercial-derivative planes, harden them enough to survive a nuclear blast and add modern communications and command and control systems.
VERTIS AVIATION CELEBRATES FIRST DECADE OF BUSINESS

VOLOCOPTER, THE PIONEER OF URBAN AIR MOBILITY, WILL BE THE FIRST INDUSTRIAL PLAYER TO TEST THEIR FULL-SCALE ELECTRICAL AIR TAXI, THE VOLOCITY, IN THE PARIS REGION.
In the current context of environmental transition in air transport, economic recovery, and urban densification, Paris region, Groupe ADP and RATP Group aim to develop an urban air mobility industry branch, with a focus on the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL). Photo � Volocopter.
The partners have therefore decided to bring together all the conditions to make the emergence of this new mode of transport possible to complement the existing modes, whether for the public or for goods. Furthermore, the prospect of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games provides an exceptional opportunity to involve an entire industry and to make Paris Region a leader in the global market of Urban Air Mobility. Volocopter, the German electric air taxi company and pioneer of Urban Air Mobility, reinforces the project's feasibility by bringing its 9 years of aviation experience to the initiative.
"The structuring and development of an Air Mobility branch on the airfield of Pontoise - Cormeilles-en-Vexin is both consistent with the Recovery Plan initiated by Paris Region, and in line with the key takeaways of Paris Region recent COP 2020 conference. It also falls within the scope and priorities of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic games. As a result, this event represents an invaluable opportunity to involve the entire aviation industry and demonstrate the unique qualities of Paris Region as an area of reference within the global Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market." for Val�rie P�cresse, President of Paris Region.
Facing the challenges raised by this new form of mobility in terms of use, acceptability, regulations, technologies, and industrialization, the chosen approach is to offer a unique test area at the Pontoise airfield, profiting from a real and secure aeronautical environment in a suburban location, 35 km northwest of Paris. In the first half of 2021, necessary arrangements will be made, first on the airside, then on the boarding areas inside the buildings (suitable parking areas, electrical recharging systems, and ground markings). In cooperation with DGAC (Civil Aviation Authority), parking, take-off and landing operations, as well as operations around the vehicle, whether maintenance or electrical recharging, will be tested in a real aeronautical environment in June 2021.
Additionally, in order to construct an ecosystem of large groups, SMEs, start-ups, laboratories, and universities in the Paris Region over the long term, a worldwide call for expressions of interest has been launched with the support of the Choose Paris Region agency. Applications will be open on 1 October until 13 November 2020 on the website: www.reinventairmobility.com. The selected projects will be announced on 18 December 2020.

A Tunisian Air Force Northrop F-5E Tiger II fighter jet, belonging to 15 Sqn, crashed under unknown circumstances in the Remada, Tatooine region. The pilot died in the crash and the aircraft was destroyed. (Photo � Wikipedia. Not the accident aircraft)
South Sudan, Mundri Airstrip: A Cessna 208B Grand Caravan operated by Duk Air suffered an accident on take-off from Mundri Airstrip, South Sudan. The nose and right-hand main landing gear legs collapsed and the aircraft suffered extensive damage to both wing tips and propeller blades.
USA: A National Transportation Safety Board Report confirms that the blood-alcohol level of an Alaska airplane pilot involved in a fatal crash was 5 times over the legal limit. The final NTSB crash report said pilot Charles Weimer was flying under the influence when he failed to maintain a safe distance from Goat Mountain in August 2019. Weimer and three others died in the crash near Girdwood when the Piper PA-22-150 crashed into steep terrain on the mountain 15 minutes after take-off.
USA, Mesa, Arizona: An argument over face masks turned physical on an Allegiant Airlines flight. A passenger on the flight was wearing a face shield and a flight attendant asked him to wear a face mask as well, KSL TV reported. Allegiant's policy is that face shields must be worn in addition to a face covering, not as an alternative. When the flight attendant and passenger were arguing about the policy, another passenger heckled the man, KSL reported. As the flight attendant was attempting to escort the passenger who refused to wear a face mask off the plane, a fight broke out with the heckling passenger. The fight was broken up after 30 seconds and the passenger who refused to wear a mask was escorted off the plane in Mesa, Ariz. The other passenger was allowed to stay for the flight.
Germany, Munich: A Star Air Freight Boeing 767-200 was descending towards Munich when the crew reported a wheel well fire indication. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on runway 08R, slowed and vacated the runway stopping on an adjacent taxiway for an inspection by emergency services. The aircraft subsequently taxied to the apron. The aircraft remained on the ground for almost 4 days.
Russia, Yakutsk Airport: A Sukhoi Superjet 100-95B operated by Yakutia Airlines with 92 on board suffered a collapse of the main landing gear in a landing accident at Yakutsk Airport, Russia. The aircraft failed to stop on the remaining runway and overran onto the area that was under reconstruction, stopping after 250 meters. This caused damage to the forward fuselage, separation of both main landing gear bogies and a fuel tank leak. There were no fatalities. The aircraft suffered substantial damage and will probably be written off.
France, Loches: A Robin DR.400/140 Major and an Alpi Pioneer 300 following a mid-air collision crashed near Loches, France. The Robin had departed Poitiers-Biard Airport while the Pioneer departed Chatellerault/Targe Airfield for an overflight of several castles in the Loire area. After the collision, the Pioneer crashed into a stone fence and burst into flames. The DR.400 impacted vegetation. All five occupants died in the accident.
USA, Island Lake, Fredenberg Township, MN: A Robinson R44 Raven II operated by Lake Superior Helicopters with only the pilot on board following a loss of engine power ditched to the waters of Island Lake Reservoir in St Louis County, Minnesota. The helicopter submerged, sustaining unknown damage and the sole pilot onboard was not injured.
USA, near Waterloo, Lauderdale County, AL: A Czech Aircraft Works SportCruiser with only the pilot on board impacted wooded terrain under unknown circumstances in Waterloo, Lauderdale County, Alabama. The airplane came to the rest inverted, sustaining substantial damage and the sole pilot onboard was fatally injured.
The Rolls-Royce Merlin engine is started for the first time. Photo � Wikipedia.
The Rolls-Royce Merlin is a British liquid-cooled V-12 piston aero engine of 27-litres (1,650 cu in) capacity. Rolls-Royce designed the engine and first ran it in 1933 as a private venture. Initially known as the PV-12, it was later called Merlin following the company convention of naming its piston aero engines after birds of prey.
After several modifications, the first production variants of the PV-12 were completed in 1936. The first operational aircraft to enter service using the Merlin were the Fairey Battle, Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire.
The Merlin remains most closely associated with the Spitfire and Hurricane, although the majority of the production run was for the four-engined Avro Lancaster heavy bomber. A series of rapidly-applied developments, brought about by wartime needs, markedly improved the engine's performance and durability. Starting at 1,000 hp for the first production models, most late war versions produced just under 1,800 hp and the very latest version as used in the de Havilland Hornet over 2,000 hp.
One of the most successful aircraft engines of the World War II era, some 50 versions of the Merlin were built by Rolls-Royce in Derby, Crewe and Glasgow, as well as by Ford of Britain at their Trafford Park factory, near Manchester.

Entitlement: On the harassment of critics
Jonny Neeves / January 20, 2015
It may not be the most recent of news in terms of how quickly these issues tend to pass through the public consciousness, but the news of several critics being threatened by a tirade of angry fans struck a nerve as far as I'm concerned. First and foremost, I would state unequivocally that I am a film fan primarily; ambitions of becoming a professional film critic are the result of a love of film. Therefore, as this film lover it dismays me to hear this news. Film is one of many quintessential tools for bringing us together; we can have many a discussion based around how we were affected and what our personal opinions were. It always belittles a medium when obsessed so-called fans act out in selfish, unintelligent, childish behaviour in response to someone criticising something they hold so dear. People claim occasionally that critics deserve, or at the very least should expect this behaviour, because they are involved in a business of criticising a way of life for certain individuals. My straightforward repost to this is that if you indeed involve yourself so much in a film, or series of films, then you should be able to respond to criticism in a manner that shows how much you care. From where I'm standing, not only does threatening and offensive harassment point out the insecurities of an individual, but it goes even further, for you are now risking the reputation of the film you're so vehemently attempting to defend.
Nevertheless, there is content from certain individuals that shows intangible, offensive drivel. I suppose the real question is why some people feel entitled to spout off such nonsense. Just because someone loves something to the point of worship, this doesn't give them any form of entitlement to defend it through aggressive, disparaging and occasionally threatening means. Christopher Nolan hinted at the idea that these film critics, such as Christy Lemire, should have been prepared for such a verbal barrage of nonsensical, one syllable word attacks because the very nature of their profession is sometimes professing to disliking a film that others idolise.
Naturally, these internet "trolls" had no basis for entitlement with a film such as The Dark Knight Rises due, in no small part to the quite amusing fact that the film hadn't been released to the public yet. I could talk all day about the redundancy of complaining about something you haven't seen, but it's somewhat obvious to anyone other than these certain individuals. Instead, let's assume that we have all seen the film and the response is the same. Does that permit similar behaviour, when we've seen and created our own opinions? Are we still entitled to write essentially unprovoked threatening messages in response to a negative review? Well, of course not. It's an easy equation really. Your 1 and someone else's 1 don't necessarily add up to 2. There will always be differing views where film criticism is concerned because the evolution of the criticism and the critics themselves mean that there are varying importances that define the film for that particular person.
Act like a human being if you would. You have no sense of entitlement where threatening behaviour is concerned, because you're not yourself entitled to force someone to become besotted with an idea.
To truly attempt to harass a professional for doing their job is dipped in desperation. More than that, it is a mockery of humanity to stoop so low. Perhaps instead of feeling entitled and trolling those well-written, deeply thought provoking reviews, deciding to write a concise, to the point response labelling all your reposts is more worthwhile.
Well, I tried.

Mothers battle system and self
PRODUCED BY LORETTA VAN DER HORST
Difficult Custody Battles For The Mentally Il
For the the full article on this author's personal blog Click Here
Family Court Lawyer Phil Segal
NEW YORK – Erica Orr, 25, lives in the Bronx with her husband Michael and her two children Emma, 3, and Michel, 1. Though they seem like an ordinary family, behind the smiles and the laughter in Orr's household lies a constant fear that some day soon her family will be no more.
Orr was diagnosed with bipolar disorder while she was in foster care after being neglected by her mother. While trying to do everything right for her own children, Orr has been in a constant battle with the Administration for Children's Services to keep her two girls with her.
Mental illness is an issue prevalent throughout the foster care system, with children often coming from families where mental health problems were the cause of abuse and neglect. A study by Mental Health America concluded that 16 percent of the New York families involved in the foster care system and 21 percent of those receiving family preservation services from the ACS include a parent with a mental illness.
When suspicions of neglect are expressed to the ACS, parents are at a high risk of losing their children. A chart of how this process works can be found here: ACS Child Safety Investigation Process
"The general sequeli is to repeat the behavior that was done to you," says Dr. Susan Philliber, an independent researcher on youth development. Children coming from dysfunctional households like Orr's are often diagnosed with a mental illness of their own. The abuse and neglect she endured at home possibly contributed to her mental health difficulties.
Forensic Assessment
But the legal and mental health system show several flaws when it comes to both diagnosis as well as forensic procedures in custody cases. Phil Segal, a former family court judge (1991- 2001) and now a family court lawyer says the Family Court Mental Health Clinic "too readily recommends the children be placed in foster care," meaning many fit parents ended up losing their kids.
To avoid a similar fate, Orr takes mood stabilizers daily while balancing her health care studies with anger management classes, parenting classes and therapy as well as taking her kids go to school and to their doctor's appointments. Her youngest daughter Michel is content when she's with her mom. Orr, sitting on a rocking chair in her living room gently rocks her daughter to sleep while she lies peacefully on her breast.
Good Parenting by the Mentally Ill
According to Harvard Psychiatrist Laura Miller, having mental health problem doesn't necessarily mean being a bad parent. In a CWW report she says that a mother who is aware of her own mental illness is more likely to be an adequate parent than one who denies she has problems. Orr, now living with a constant fear of losing her children, agrees. "I don't believe my mental illness affects my parenting skills. I do everything necessary to keep my kids safe," she says.
Erica Orr and Her Daughter Michel
Family court lawyers also report problems with the system of dealing with custody battles, says a 2009 report by the Child Welfare Watch (CWW). Almost everyone who is evaluated is given a diagnosis, they say, and evaluations are requested far more often than necessary, even in cases in which there is no mental health allegation.
The Future of Mental Health Assessment: A Money Issue
To avoid stigmatizing mothers with diagnoses of mental illness too easily to justify a child's placement in foster care Dr. Miller told the CWW that the child welfare system should consistently use criteria such as self-awareness to determine who is a fit parent. These evaluations should be carried out by a team including a psychiatrist, a psychologist and a social worker, rather than by one clinician as is now typically the case.
But the changes necessary to reform the forensic procedures to assess a parent's mental health aren't easy to implement, especially in rough economic times. "Family Court is a poor person's court, and is completely underfunded," says Philip Segal. "There are not nearly as many judges as they need, not nearly as many lawyers as they need, not enough caseworkers, not enough investigators, not enough money, not enough anything." And Segal claims that therefore "the court is asked to do the impossible."
In spite of the hard battle Orr has been fighting, along with many others, she is on the path to getting full and independent custody of her children as the amount of time she is being monitored is being reduced gradually. "It is very stressful, but it is worth the fight," she says."I know that they [my children] are safe with me."

Corn Mill In Philippines Can you give me specs and quotation for a solar panel (with installation) for a 1.5 HP Inverter airconditioner. I would appreciate your prompt response on this matter.
Oct 30, 2015· In March, we built a machine-operated corn mill in their community in Negros Oriental, in central Philippines, and it has already benefited them and improved the quality of milling.
Corn Mill In Philippines Established in 1990, Henan Kingman Mechanical & Electrical Complete Plant Co., Ltd. (KMEC) deals principally in designing, manufacturing and exporting complete oil mill plants, solvent extraction plants and related oil processing equipment.
Maize (/ m e z / MAYZ; Zea mays subsp. mays, from Spanish: maíz after Taino: mahiz), also known as corn, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. The leafy stalk of the plant produces pollen inflorescences and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears that yield kernels or seeds, which are fruits.
Corn Mill In Philippines Q What is a pellet mill?. Pellet mill, also called pellet machine, pellet press or pelletizer, it's function is to form pellets from different material, such as biomass waste and other organic waste, for example, saw dust, wood shaving, wood chips, corn straw, peanut shell, etc.
Grain and Flour Market in Philippines Having an important place in world's rice and corn production, Philippines is a consumer country for wheat. Philippines, who cannot realize grain-based agricultural product export, is among the world's leading wheat importers.
Corn Mill In Philippines Corn is the second most important crop in the Philippines. 600,000 farm s are employed in different businesses in the corn value chain. As of 2012, around 2.594 Million ha of land is under corn cultivation and the total production is 7.408 million metric ton(MMT).
Lamsan Inc. LAMSAN INCORPORATED Is the foremost corn wet milling company in the Philippines. Its products include cornstarch, corn gluten feed, corn gluten meal and corn germ. It has been in the business since 1971 and has steadily grown to become the industry leader today.
