Home/News/Announcements/Children play the road safety card
When Ahmed crosses the street in Amman, he instinctively looks both ways before he takes his first step. But he may not be the only child taking safety precautions in Jordan this year. And that is exactly the goal of this popular board game created by Sesame Workshop and several partners such as Jordan Pioneers, a multimedia production company.
Because young people make up a significant portion of the 1.3 million killed annually in road crashes, the Middle East and North Africa Road Safety Partnership is going to be working with Sesame Workshop in 2011. The goal is to build on initiatives such as the board game Sesme Workshop created, and encourage road safety for the next generation.
From 2010 to 2011, a total of 1,200 Sesame Street game sets – or as it's known in Jordan, Hikayat Simsim – will be distributed to schools in Jordan, and over a hundred parent and teacher workshops will take place nation-wide. The Middle East and North Africa Road Safety Partnership will help with distribution in 2011.
"It is especially valuable because many countries in this region have problems with kids playing in the streets," explains Nellie Ghusayni, Regional Advisor for Middle East and North Africa Road Safety Partnership. "Sesame Workshop brings an educational component to road safety that did not exist before in Jordan, and it's catching on quickly."

At The Gates Release Video For To Drink From The Night Itself
Check out the first new music from their forthcoming album.
Video not playing? View on YouTube
The official video for To Drink From The Night Itself, the title track of the new album from Swedish death metal legends At The Gates, is below.
Frontman Tomas Lindberg told Blabbermouth: "So, for the first song to present to the public, we chose the title track of the album, which is also the opening track of the record. To us, this gives a presentation of the attitude of the album: raw, hungry and desperate. It also gives an introduction to the whole concept of the record.
"We live through our art, and the whole album deals with the concept of art. Art as a tool either for revolution, or suppression. To drink from the night itself is just that, a metaphor for living and breathing through art. Of course, the concept goes deeper than that, but this song is the heart of the concept, the fierce call to arms so to say. We are still at war, but this time we are fighting the abyss, the abyss of apathy and oppression. It is an aggressive song, but also contains a lot of the other elements of the band's sound on this record. Melancholia, desperation and struggle.
"For the first video, we chose to use Patric Ullaeus again, as he is good at capturing the raw energy of the band playing live. In the video you can also see glimpses of the art used for the cover, so it binds it all together nicely."

The United Party is a political party in Papua New Guinea. As of May 2019, it has one seat in the National Parliament and is led by Minister for Foreign Affairs, Rimbink Pato.

History
There were attempts from 1964 to 1968 to form political parties. A meeting was held in Port Moresby and a Territory Country Party, organised along the lines of the Australian Country Party, was formed in 1967.

The connection between Australian Country Party and political parties in PNG was through the Compass Party (later United Party). Despite talks and media release, the Compass Party was formed in Minj in 1967 by certain expatriate and indigenous Members of the House of Assembly who were aligned with the farmers and planters association, the Highlands Farmers & Settlers Association Incorporated (HFSA). Members of HFSA in Parliament were Ian Downs, Highlands Special (President of HFSA), John Watts (WH Regional), Mike Casey (Kainantu), Sinake Giregire (Goroka) (first indigenous member of HFSA). The prominent national being Giregire and Members from Simbu and EH.

After its formation, Tei Abal (Wabag) was appointed its Leader with Giregire as Deputy. The United went into 1968 Elections and returned as a force against the pro independence, Pangu Party. As the Party was conservative, most of its Members were appointed Ministers and Vice Ministers. The Party went again to the polls in 1972 and returned and with the self-government in 1973, Tei Abal and Sinake Giregire and Paul Langro were on the Constitutional Planning Committee.

The third Party was the Peoples Progress Party (1970) under Julius Chan (Namatanai). At this time, the Australian Country Party sent an officer to PNG to assist the United Party in establishing its working structure. This ACP officer was in Eastern Highlands (Goroka) and so Giregire took on the advantage of the Australian canvassing and organisational assistance to form a PNG version of the Australian Country Party. Using the Constitutional Planning Committee (a faction calling itself the Nationlaist Pressure Group - Giregire, Fr. John Momis and John Kaputin) Giregire canvassed support to bring a fourth force with Members from United Party and Pangu Pati to form Country Party which was formally recognized on the floor of Parliament in March 1974. The Country Party had 14 Members under the leadership of Sir Sinake Giregire (MP for Goroka and later Daulo) and Michael Pondros (Manus).

The role of Country Party featured prominently in the Constituent Assembly when it was more or was taking the lead in the Nationalist Pressure Group (Momis, Kaputin and Giregire) who wanted to present the CPC Report as it is to become the Constitution and on one hand Somare and Pangu who wanted amendments such as dropping the Provincial Government system.

This followed on with Melanesian Alliance Party under Fr. John Momis and the Mataungan Association taking a political party status with John Kaputin and Oscar Tammur on floor of Parliament.

Despite the breakup, United Party contested the 1977 Elections and came with a majority of Members but Pangu formed a COalition with PPP, National Party, Melanesian Alliance and Mataungan against United/Country Party with Somare as Prime Minister.

Country Party, United Party and National Party were seen as a Highlands dominated Party. To break that stronghold Somare appointed Paias Wingti as his Deputy Leader in 1982. Wingti then broke ranks with Pangu and with other Members including from United Party formed Peoples Democratic Movement in 1985.

With the loss of Sir Tei Abal, Leader of United Party in 1987, leadership tussle came into play with Roy Evara, Anton Parao, Paul Torato and others.

Gradually, the fortunes of United Party waned in 1992 and 1997 Elections. In 1997 Elections it had only one MP in Gabia Gagarimambu. In 2002, it had three MP's in Bire Kimisopa (Goroka), Bob Dadae (Kabwum) and Ben Kiagi (Daulo). The party went to the 2007 National Elections under leadership of Hon. Kimisopa but returned with two out of 109 seats in the 2007 General Elections.

At the 2002 elections, the party won 3 seats in the 109-seat national parliament.  The party leader for the 2002-2007 term was Bire Kimisopa, member for Goroka Open, in Eastern Highlands province.

In the 2007 elections, the party won 2 seats in parliament.
Kimisopa was replaced as party leader on 22 August 2007, having lost his seat.  He was replaced as leader by Bob Dadae, member for Kabwum Open in Morobe Province. Dadae crossed to the People's National Congress in May 2012, stating that his people wanted him to be aligned with a major party.

The party won one seat at the 2012 election, with Rimbink Pato winning Wapenamanda Open and assuming the United Party leadership.

First known case of omicron variant arrives in Indiana, here's what we know so far
The first known case of the omicron variant is now in Indiana.
Health officials are sounding the alarm on how contagious this new variant is ahead of holiday gatherings this week.
Experts say the timing of the omicron variant arriving in Indiana couldn't be worse — with many planning to travel and gather this week for holiday gatherings.
That's why they're encouraging Hoosiers to take the necessary steps to protect yourself and others this holiday season amid the latest strain of covid-19
With the first known case of the omicron variant now detected in indiana — health officials aren't taking any chances.
"It's really infectious and it's spreading quickly, especially among the unvaccinated," said Thomas Duszynski, a professor of epidemiology at Fairbanks School of Public Health.
Indiana's first case was in an unvaccinated Hoosier and now the variant has been reported in all but five states.
"We've been presuming once it arrived in the U.S., it was already here and was taking some time to be detected," said Duszynski.
Early studies show the omicron variant is 30 percent more infectious than other strains of coronavirus and share many of the same symptoms as previous variants.
"There were some reports this might be a milder version of COVID but in other countries, they thought the rate of hospitalization was just as high," said Kristen Kelley, Nursing Director of Infection Prevention at IU Health.
Kelley pointed out some initial reports have found current vaccines do not treat the omicron variant. "There are some initial reports it can really evade immunity, which means some of the vaccines aren't as effective," Kelley said.
Still, experts are recommending Hoosiers get vaccinated or a booster shot as your best form of protection.
"Vaccines are the best way to prevent that vaccine from causing anymore destruction in our communities" Kelley said.
With many set to travel and gather this week for holiday gatherings, health officials are encouraging Hoosiers to social distance, wash your hands often and wear a mask regardless of vaccination status.
"Those things are great weapons against not only the coronavirus, but the omicron variant," said Duszynski.
CDC scientists have already begun gathering data and virus samples that can be studied to answer important questions about the omicron variant. They'll provide updates as soon as possible.

While the Aussie athletes continue to be the stars of the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, the Gold Coast light rail network has proven to be the star of the Games transport plan.
More than one million trips have been taken to and from Games venues since the opening ceremony last week.
Of that mammoth number the G:link service has done the heavy lifting, carrying nearly 100,000 passengers a day since Thursday, more than three times the daily average since the opening of Gold Coast light rail stage 2.
Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey said the uptake in passenger numbers showed just how important light rail was to the Gold Coast's integrated transport system.
"It's great to see so many people using the light rail network and other public transport modes to travel to events during the Commonwealth Games", he said.
"The Palaszczuk Government has delivered almost $1 billion in transport infrastructure leading up to the Games, including $420 million towards building Gold Coast light rail stage 2.
"This was a major milestone and will be a lasting Commonwealth Games legacy for years to come.
"Let's not forget the G:link wouldn't have been built without the Palaszczuk Government and the Games wouldn't have been as successful as they have already been without the G:link.
"We built stage two within 18 months and made sure that it was ready to go before the Games.
"Light rail services have been operating 24 hours a day during the Games, with services running every six minutes during peak event periods."
GoldlinQ chairman John Witheriff said the increase of patronage numbers demonstrated how well equipped light rail was to cater for increasing demand in years to come.
"Public transport is a critical part of the Gold Coast's future success," he said.
Prior to the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, the highest number of daily passengers on the light rail network was 80,000, which occurred on the grand opening day of the light rail system in July 2014.
Stage 2 began service in December 2017 and included a 7.3 kilometre extension between Gold Coast University Hospital and Helensvale station.
Mr Bailey said the light rail network had provided a world class integrated public transport system on the Gold Coast.
"It is clear south-east Queensland commuters have responded well to taking all forms of public transport during the Games," he said.
"We've seen a massive uptake of heavy rail commuters from both Brisbane and Varsity Lakes with more than 180,000 passengers making the journey on Queensland Rail services.


"The Inn we most hated to leave"
The MAIN INN building has three guest-rooms on the second floor, each with a private bath. They all have access to the amazing 7-person hot tub on top of the water tower with views of the ocean and hills. Also, there is a modest second floor sun deck. The first floor living room, dining area, library, kitchen, wrap-around porch, and bbq terrace are all open to guests, as is the Newport Room, which can seat 50 people for meals. At one end of this room is an intimate seating area in front of a 20 foot stone walk-in fireplace, which you can actually sit in! All these first floor communal rooms offer a variety of spaces to curl up with a book or have a quiet conversation. Also, there's a recreation room in the basement, and all rooms have wireless internet.


I have version 2.06 of Limesurvey, and we can not upgrade to a newer version at the moment.
We install OfflineSurveys and we like it a lot except it does not validate fields. For example: minimum value for numerical input, or validation of the question itself or sub-question. It always shows the error warning, but lets you move forward and complete the survey.
We are ready to acquire the license, but I can not go on without the wonderful validations that Limesurvey allows.

Warren A. Thompson (May 10, 1802 – July 14, 1891) was a noted explorer and original settler of Butler County, Alabama.

Explorations
Thompson went with Captain John H. Watts and Thomas Hill on their many explorations throughout Butler County, and had the particular honor of naming the many creeks found in the area.  He was in Fort Bibb in 1818, and was personally acquainted with Captain William Butler, seeing them off on the morning that they started on their way to Fort Dale.

Personal life
Born in Clarke County, Georgia, Thompson began life under the unusual circumstance of having all of his brothers and sisters taken in by different members of the community in 1807, when his father's unexpected death left the family with no means of support.  Thomas Hill took in Warren and adopted him.  When Thomas Hill came to Alabama Territory in 1816, he brought the adopted child with him.  Warren spent the earlier days of his life driving cattle for his adoptive father until his death in 1821, and remained with his adoptive mother until her death in 1822.  He was then grown, though only weighing 98 pounds, but was very strong and tough for his size, able to even throw down Betsy Donaldson, who was quite a noted character for strength at that time.  He was employed by Dave Elder as overseer, and remained with him for six years.

He was married on December 19, 1829, to Mary Danvis, whose father Thomas Hayes was so opposed to the marriage that Warren had to steal his bride from the paternal roof at night.  The marriage produced nine children, Albert, Mary, James, Arvilla, Franklin, David, Calvin, John, and Pinkney.  Supporting such a large family proved tough, and after Warren gave up farming in order to have his family live in a more healthful location, he spent his time as captain of a company in the county, and joined the Primitive Baptists in 1840.

I bought this about 2 months ago, and I love the dishwasher. It's quiet and effective. Our only issue was that we stuffed it with so many plates and had to put in more soap to ensure they were cleaned. But, that wasn't really an issue. It alerts you to when it needs more drying agent, and is quite energy efficient.

Spider-Man: Far From Home: Movie Review
Photo Credit: "Columbia Pictures"
"Spider-man: Far From Home" once again tackles the struggles of being a "superheroic teenager" - themes that have time and time again been shown in various iterations specifically for this character. While the film doesn't really shake any molds, this is probably the most relatable of the bunch. There's no denying that "Spider-man: Far From Home" still finds a way to be enjoyable, entertaining, and a step forward onto the next phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
After the events of "Endgame", Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is feeling the burden and burnout of a world without the usual heroes to help him out. Struggling to strike a balance between his superhero duties and having a normal teenage life, the school field trip to Europe is the perfect breather Peter has been looking forward to. Right before his trip though, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) has been trying to talk to him constantly - not a good omen to Peter's expected getaway. Soon he finds himself facing enemies that once again threaten the very existence of our world.
Like "Spider-Man: Homecoming", we find ourselves tackling a Peter Parker with a lot of insecurities. The loss of a mentor, a father figure of sorts, and going missing for 5 years finds our hero in a very tough bind. He literally is tired of being Spider-man and just wants to have a normal life. What caught us off guard is how relatable Peter Parker turned out to be this time around. We will admit that some of Peter's decisions in the film were frustrating even illogical in the face of ultimate danger but in the context of being an immature 16 year old, these decisions actually feel real and ones that would have given us trouble if we were still in the same age group. Unfortunately, the film struggled to find its footing in the beginning specifically the awkward chemistry between Tom Holland and Zendaya. It could be the acting or it could be the setup the film required from both but ultimately, their relationship felt rushed and lacking that essential emotional core. On the side of its villain, we can't reveal much but let's just say that the action sequences here were amazing. While the visuals were a mixed bag and a step down to previous MCU films, we can't deny that each one still feels epic in its scale. And this is probably one film that's quite literally a doozy. The biggest asset for "Spider-Man: Far From Home" is still its humor. We found ourselves entertained all throughout its two hour or so run time with its unique and juvenile style. In the end, "Spider-Man: Far From Home" is clearly a setup to even greater things in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There's really no ground-breaking revelations here but it presents "a passing of torch" narrative to a world moving on from the events of "Endgame" that is both interesting and highly-entertaining.
- this is the most immature yet relatable Spider-man rendition yet
- finds its footing to be as enjoyable and as bombastic as any other MCU films from past releases
- it lacks that emotional gut punch
- the chemistry between Peter Parker and MJ was missing

JOLIET – A schematic design of the new Will County Judicial Complex is on track to be completed by the end of this week.
Jason Dwyer, project manager with Darien-based firm Wight & Co., updated the Will County Board's Capital Improvements Committee on the latest design advancements on Tuesday. He said the firm is planning to review the design at the end of the month with the committee, and then make an in-depth presentation to the committee Sept. 20.
With a budget of $195 million, the firm is designing a building with 10 floors, two of which will be made to accommodate future growth. A new development is that the design team appears to have found a way to comfortably fit five courtrooms, rather than four, on a couple of the floors. The plan was to have four courtrooms on most floors, totaling close to 40 on final buildout.
"We're doing everything we can to maximize potential within the budget," Dwyer said.
Much of the discussion, however, centered on secure parking for the county's judges. Shallow bedrock at the future site of the complex, directly west of the existing courthouse on Jefferson Street in downtown Joliet, eliminated the possibility of an underground parking area for judges.
It appears the next best option is to configure some sort of parking area for judges on the Washington Street lot south of the future courthouse, Dwyer said. It could range from a fenced-in area with manned security, cameras and lighting, to an above-ground parking structure that would cost significantly more.
One potential issue is that a garage on the site is the only current storage area for plow and salt trucks that clear the courthouse parking lot during winter. The firm will present some cost estimates at a future meeting.
Leigh McMillen of Leopardo Companies informed the committee that 36 bids were received for work in bid package one of the Will County Public Safety Complex, which was released a few weeks ago. It is the first of three bid packages. Bid package two will be released Wednesday.
"We've gotten off to a great start with the bidding process," McMillen said.
Six of the eight low bidders are based in Will County, with another based in nearby Coal City. A couple of sections of bid package one will now be rolled into bid package two because bidders did not meet certain requirements. McMillen said the bidding companies were informed of what was lacking and plan to rebid.
McMillen said the target date to start work still is Sept. 15, with a groundbreaking ceremony tentatively scheduled for Oct. 7. The safety complex, to be built on the existing sheriff's office site near the intersection of Laraway Road and Route 52 in Joliet, is estimated to cost the county about $30 million.


Each year, usually on the 1st or 2nd Saturday of December, the Club hosts a Holiday Party for members and their guests. The party is always a huge success. For a nominal fee, entrance to the party includes a sit-down dinner with choices of prime rib, chicken, or fish, an open bar for the beer and wine connoisseurs (and sodas of course), dessert, entertainment, and dancing with a DJ. A significant feature of our Holiday Party is an auction and raffle, the resulting funds of which provide financial support to the Club's many activities throughout the year. This event often draws 130 or more members and guests. To get a taste of the past entertainment from Holiday parties, go to the Photo Gallery and click Holiday Party Videos.

Smiley face detected: Turks' emoji habits
by Damla Kayayerli
ISTANBUL Feature
May 21, 2018 12:00 am GMT+3
Emojis help people express their emotions but they can have different meanings in different cultures.
Emojis are a part of our daily conversations on social media and texting. Turkish people definitely love using them
We use smiling face, weeping human and angry face emojis to support our feelings while texting or sending a message on a chat application. We try to support the meaning and importance of special days with various emojis, as well. Quickly, emojis have become indispensable in our lives, such that there are some people who are offended and get irritated when the wrong emoji is sent.
Emoji usage by gender
When people do not send an emoji, they can fight and fall victim to the Turkish language. Dr. Ali Murat Kırık, who is an academic from Marmara University's Communication Faculty, drew a map showing the use of emojis by country, gender and age. We start out on a journey to the emoji world with him.
Kırık said that emojis first appeared after mass communication went through a radical change. He said the need for emojis showed up when computer technology, internet and chat applications got more involved in our lives.
"Japan technologist Shigetaka Kurita, who worked on mobile communication in the 1990s to express feelings in writing, created emojis. He developed the smiling emoji with the colon and a bracket and the sad emoji with the colon and reverse bracket. The symbols were initially used in mobile phones. The first phone in which they were used in 1998 was a device of the company, NTT Docomo. They were the first emojis. Emojis changed and turned into the ones we know today with smartphones, tablets and instant message applications," he said.
Through the ends of the 1990s, chat applications were commonly used with the internet's gaining popularity. Kırık talked about the journey of emojis in Turkey, implying that emojis completely entered our lives with the smartphone.
Use of wrong emojis
Semiotics is an important matter in emojis because you try to express something with these symbols. However, emojis can have different meanings in different cultures. Kırık said that some problems can be experienced as the meaning of an emoji is not known. He explained, "Some misunderstanding examples can also be witnessed in Turkey. For example, an emoji which has lateral lips means whistling. Some people understand it as a kiss, and then confusion appears. For example, one of my friends sent me an eye emoji. I asked why he sent it. He answered that the emoji means looking astutely. However, its meaning in the world is listening as if believing. The meaning of emojis can change in every culture. That creates communication confusion."
Lack of Islamic emojis
The signs and symbols of Muslims were not used in emojis. Recently, four emojis have been added by mobile application operating systems.
"There are emojis of the Kaaba, a woman wearing a headscarf, a mosque and a tasbeeh. They were added thanks to pressure from Muslims but it was only for show. Islamophobia should be precluded and Muslim symbols should be increased," Kırık said.
Why are emojis yellow?
"The faces of emojis are yellow. The skin color in 'The Simpsons' is yellow again. Yellow is a color close to white which raises racism issues. Racism is a rising value. The skin color discrimination should be destroyed. After reactions, black and dark-skinned emojis were added," he added.
Turks love funeral posts
When someone dies, many people announce it on social media and inform relatives and friends. People can like the posts about funerals. This situation can mostly be seen on Facebook and Twitter. When people are asked why they like funeral posts, they say that it is a way of expressing condolences. Kırık noted that there is no similar situation in the world. That is, only Turkish people like funeral posts.
"The meaning of emojis is taught to children when they were at primary school in the U.S. I want to write a dictionary that will teach the meanings of emojis in Turkey and the world," he added.
Commonly-used emojis
Kırık determined the five most commonly-used emojis in Turkey with a search. The first emoji among these five, which do not differ in terms of age and sex, is the laughing emoji with tears of joy. The second one is the relaxed smiling face. The heart emoji comes third. The fourth one is the kissing heart emoji. The thumb emoji, which means okay, I liked or I got it, is the fifth.
"Men commonly sent the heart emoji to women. The kissing heart emoji was used for lovers but now it is also sent to friends," he said.
Who uses emojis the most, women or men? According to the result of the search, the answer to this question is women. Kırık noted that women use emojis more than men and they reflect their emotions a lot more.

No seams or lines under anything you wear.
A properly stocked closet for a female actor on a TV show always includes the following: a pair of seamless Commando underwear, a pair of Uggs for wearing between long takes in high heels, and an assortment of these brilliant Nordstrom lingerie tank tops.
I know — I wish I could report that the very best tank tops were something more exciting or indie, but these super-soft nylon and spandex tanks from the Seattle department store are the single most useful item a woman can have in her wardrobe. They are an incredible layering piece that manages to smooth out every bulge, creating a totally sleek line under clothes. The straps are also wide enough to completely hide your bra straps (while also keeping them from sliding down your shoulders). If you've ever picked up one of those see-through tops currently ruling the racks of department stores and thought, "What the hell am I supposed to wear underneath a transparent shirt like this," this tank top is your answer.
As a Hollywood costume designer, I put them on every single actress I dress. Since this tank top has absolutely no seams, it doesn't create extra lumps under thin garments, like a cashmere-blend sweater. It's also a godsend for clothes with strange cutouts or open-weave sweaters that would otherwise expose your bra to the whole world. The shirt is a perfect length: not so long so that it hangs out beneath shirts, but not so short that your guts are left exposed (it comes in plus sizes, too). They are totally tagless — and one side is slightly lower than the other, so you can flip it around based on the neckline of whatever garment you are wearing it with. It comes in a rainbow of fun colors (not just your basic boring black and white), and smooths perfectly without the riding up, digging in, and general discomfort that comes with a shapewear tank top.
Nordstrom's sizing chart says they run small (and to order one size up), but I very much disagree. These tanks aren't meant to be loose and flowing — the whole point of them is to create a comfortable "second skin" that your clothes can lie nicely upon. I buy them in doubles (and sometimes even in triples), since my actors constantly steal them. When women with Oscars on their shelves snag things from the costume department, you know they're good.
