Mr Redwood's contribution to the debate on the Financial Transaction Tax and Economic and Monetary Union, 18 June
By johnredwood | Published: June 19, 2013
Mr John Redwood (Wokingham) (Con): Monetary union is like having a bank account with the neighbours, and now the neighbours who have put the money in are panicking about the other neighbours who are taking the money out. We see in these documents that EMU is going to progress with much tighter fiscal and banking controls. Is the Minister going to want to keep all British banks out of the extra controls, as we would then no longer be in charge of them, or does he think that the euro activities of our banks must be part of this new centralised scheme from Brussels?
The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Greg Clark): We have been very clear, and the single supervisory mechanism is a good example, as I have said. We have our arrangements for the supervision of our banks, which are centred around the Bank of England, and it is absolutely right that they should continue in that way, but as each of these proposals is made, we will need to look to our national interest and make sure that our rights are protected.
Mr Redwood: Do the Opposition think that a bank headquartered in London, with its group corporate structure in London and with international operations, should be regulated by the Bank of England to our standards or fully integrated into euro area regulation?
The Shadow Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Chris Leslie): I think that any financial institution that could have a systemic impact on our economy and UK financial services needs to be regulated from within the Bank of England and by our regulatory structures. I hope that there will be a match between our arrangements and the European arrangements. That has been part of my anxiety about the Government's design of the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority in the context of the Bank of England and how they fit together with the supervisory structures in Europe. We have had that debate and I think it will continue to be played out over the longer term.
Mr Redwood: I thank my hon. Friend for highlighting this crucial issue and bringing it to the attention of the House. Will he accept that those of us who will not have time to speak today are fully behind him in wanting to re-establish and re-assert the primacy of this House in all matters that are important to the British people, and we have a long way to go to do that?
Mr William Cash (Stone) (Con): We have a long way to go, and in fact the journey is becoming longer. I am extremely glad that we are having a proposal for a referendum Bill, which will enable us to decide these questions, if it comes off. I also believe that there is an understanding among possibly 240 Government Members that there is a serious problem in relation to the EU. There are some who take a different view, but it is a tangential question for them. For us it is fundamental. The biggest demonstration of the problem is this fundamental relationship, which turns on primacy. That is what the Scrutiny Committee focused on, and that is what I will speak about, somewhat briefly.

I shan't mention that I think the referendum bill is another attempt to con everyone into voting Conservative ….
You and your colleagues are obviously aware that the EU would love to move the financial centre of Europe in London to Berlin or Paris? The EU are determined to take it away from us and will do everything in their power to carry out their plan, so beware, once that is gone, the UK will be finished.


Spokane Massage offers a variety of therapeutic massage modalities including deep tissue massage, swedish, hot stone, craniosacral, myofascial release, and trigger point. Conditions we treat through massage therapy include auto accident injuries, sports injuries, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and work-related injuries including repetetive motion injuries.
At Spokane Massage we provide an integrated approach to bodywork that incorporates the best of both traditional and holistic massage modalities. The goal of the massage therapy we provide is to address the root causes of pain and tension in the body rather than providing just short term relief and relaxation. Typically our massage sessions incorporate multiple massage techniques to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual. Below is a list of the massage modalities we offer.
Spokane Massage accepts most medical insurance plans, L&I (Labor and Industries) for work related injuries, and auto insurance (PIP) for injuries as a result of motor vehicle accidents.
Deep tissue massage utilizes deep pressure and friction to release adhesions, knots, and tension in the deep layers of muscles and fascia. Deep tissue techniques often incorporate long, deep, slow strokes with hands, forearms, and elbows. Instead of following a "no pain, no gain" approach, the deep tissue massage we offer effectively releases tension in the muscles without causing excessive pain or soreness.
Swedish is a traditional form of massage that can create a deep sense of relaxation and healing through the use of long, smooth, gliding strokes across the superficial layers of muscle. Tapotement (tapping) and petrissage (kneading) techniques can also be incorporated. Swedish massage typically uses lighter pressure, and is both relaxing and energizing.
Hot stone massage utilizes smooth, heated river stones to warm, relax, and massage the muscles of the body. The stones may also be placed on specific areas, energy points, or meridians for re-balancing and energizing the body. The stones can also be used to apply deep tissue and trigger point techniques.
Craniosacral is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Craniosacral gently releases restrictions in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the head and spine.
Myofascial release is a manual therapy that targets and releases tension and restrictions in your body's fascial system. Fascia is a continuous, uninterrupted network of connective tissue that runs through the whole body. It connects muscles to skin and surrounds muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and organs. Due to injury, poor posture, and many other factors, restrictions in your fascia can result in pain and dysfunction in muscles, joints, and other soft tissue structures. Myofascial release takes a whole body approach to understanding and releasing tension and dysfunction in the body's muscles and connective tissue.
Appointments cancelled without 24 hours notice will be charged 50% of service price. Full price of service will be charged for no shows without a cancellation notice.


The Cleveland Indians today announced the club has signed free agent RHP LISALVERTO BONILLA to a Minor League contract with a non-roster invitation to Major League spring training camp.
Bonilla, 27, split the 2017 season between Triple-A Louisville and the Cincinnati Reds, posting a mark of 3-4 with a 3.59 ERA in 18 games/8 starts with the Bats (25ER/62.2IP). He appeared in 10 games with the Reds, making four starts across five stints and one trip to the disabled list in August (right elbow). The Samana, Dominican Republic native recorded his first career complete game on May 13 at San Francisco. He began his career in the Phillies organization in 2008, debuted with the Texas Rangers in 2014 and missed the 2015 campaign recovering from right elbow reconstruction. First name is pronounced \leez-al-VEHR-toe.


I received an invitation to try the newly opened Korean restaurant Arirang which is located in Kuwait City inside Swiss Bel-Hotel. You can also get to the restaurant through Almuthana Complex.
The decoration was totally Korean, not that I'm an expert or smth but Mrs. Katrina was kind enough to explain everything to me. Seating was comfy, they also have traditional Korean seatings which is on the floor if you want to try it (in my case it wasn't even thinkable 😛 ).
If you're into Asian food & want to try smth new, then this is the right place for ya.
P.S. Some dishes will appeal to you & some won't. I believe it depends on your taste & whether you're into Asian food or not.
Complimentary starters from the restaurant … all were good only for one dish!
Verdict: It had a weird taste, a new taste actually but it was goood & we both loved it. It's a spicy dish but not that much.
Ingredients: Crab, Celery, Pepper, Lemon juice, & Mayo.
Verdict: Just like any other crab salad, it had the same taste but this one I think was with a different twist a bit. Delicious.
Verdict: The taste was also like any dumplings out there. Very delicious, specially the sauce.
Verdict: Well, never tried eel before & wasn't going to if it wasn't for my husband who encouraged me & said that eel tastes good coz he had it before 😛 LOVED IT ❤ very yummy when dipped in soya sauce.
Ingredients: Vegetables, Beef & Old Kimchi.
Verdict: Okay, this dish was fine to me, it was the one that gave me heartburn, verrrryyy spicy, didn't see that coming. Probably you'll like it if you're into spicy food.
Ingredients: Rice wrapped in greens with special sauce.
Ingredients: Rice cooked in a stone pot with vegetables & greens, mixed with spicy & pepper sauce.
Verdict: Oh yeah, this was one of the dishes that we liked the most. Very very delicious. We mixed everything & added a lil bit from the soup on the mix which came on the side minus the green stuff inside it. Couldn't stop eating from it. Good thing the spicy sauce was on the side which we didn't include in the mix.
Verdict: Can't blame foreigners for liking this dish & being the best. It's also one of the best dishes on my list. Very juicy & yummy, it had a bit of sweetness which I liked.
alllaaah ashkra brou7 lehom for my cheat meal !!
interesting food! very curious to give it a try 9ara7a! will pass by soon!

Der Distrikt Ballia (Hindi:  , ) ist ein Distrikt des indischen Bundesstaats Uttar Pradesh. Verwaltungszentrum ist die namensgebende Stadt Ballia.

Geografie
Ballia ist der östlichste Distrikt von Uttar Pradesh und liegt in der Division Azamgarh an der Grenze zum Nachbarbundesstaat Bihar. Der Distrikt ragt keilförmig in das Gebiet Bihars hinein. Das Distriktgebiet hat eine Fläche von 2981 km² und gehört zur flachen und intensiv landwirtschaftlich genutzten Gangesebene. Seine Grenzen bilden der Ganges im Süden und dessen Nebenfluss Ghaghara im Norden, deren Zusammenfluss den östlichsten Punkt des Distriktgebiets markiert. Außer diesen beiden großen Strömen fließt noch der Chhoti Sarju, ein kleinerer Zufluss des Ganges, durch den Distrikt. Nördlich von Ballia liegt der See Suraha Tal, der durch das Flüsschen Kaithar Nadi mit dem Ganges verbunden ist. Während der Regenzeit fließt das Wasser des Ganges in den See, in der Trockenzeit kehrt sich die Fließrichtung um.

Nachbardistrikte sind Ghazipur im Südwesten, Mau im Westen, Deoria im Norden (alle Uttar Pradesh) sowie in Bihar Siwan und Saran im Nordosten, Bhojpur im Südosten und Buxar im Süden.

Verwaltungsgliederung
Der Distrikt Ballia ist in die sechs Tehsils Rasra, Bansdih, Ballia, Bairia, Sikanderpur und Belthra Road unterteilt.

Geschichte
Ballia wurde 1879 während der britischen Kolonialzeit als Distrikt der United Provinces eingerichtet. Zuvor war das Gebiet Teil des Distrikts Ghazipur gewesen. Nach der indischen Unabhängigkeit 1947 ging aus den United Provinces der Bundesstaat Uttar Pradesh hervor.

Bevölkerung
Nach der indischen Volkszählung 2011 hatte der Distrikt Ballia 3.239.774 Einwohner. Zwischen 2001 und 2011 wuchs die Einwohnerzahl um 17 Prozent und damit etwas langsamer als im Mittel Uttar Pradeshs (20 Prozent). Die Bevölkerungsdichte lag mit 1088 Einwohnern pro km² über dem ohnehin schon hohen Durchschnitt des Bundesstaates (829 Einwohner pro km²). Dabei ist der Distrikt stark ländlich geprägt: Nur neun Prozent der Einwohner lebten 2011 in Städten. Die Alphabetisierungsrate lag mit 71 Prozent über dem Mittelwert Uttar Pradeshs (68 Prozent), aber etwas unter dem gesamtindischen Durchschnitt (73 Prozent).

Unter den Einwohnern des Distriktes stellten nach der Volkszählung 2001 Hindus mit 93 Prozent die große Mehrheit. Daneben gibt es eine muslimische Minderheit von knapp sieben Prozent.

It is a common sight in most homes- the morning rush hours for school and office, making it a perfect gateway, for packaged cereal, snack bars and juices as breakfast staple. Instant microwave breakfasts too are a regular feature on our tables. Children come back from school and immediately grab on to a bag of crisps or some form of packaged snacks.
A moderate indulgence in packaged food is not really harmful. But if it does become a regular affair in your home, you may need to introduce some checks and balances.
Considering how hectic our lives are today, not every meal can be made from scratch. A number of families depend on pre-packaged food either for basic ingredients for a meal or for a ready-to-eat one. You may be concerned about your children eating the right kind of food. Here are some tips you may keep in mind when picking up packaged food.
Read labels the right way: Important information related to the packaged food item you are picking up is on the label. Being able to get the right information out of it to help make a choice is what you need to do.
Servings: Let's take bread for example. A single serving is often considered a slice of bread. But at times, it may be two according to the brand you are looking at. Since fibre is what you are looking for, more grams of fibre per slice is a better choice.
Calorie counting: It takes some homework on your part to create a good diet for kids. Make a rough estimate as to how many calories per meal you would like your children to consume. Once you know that, look into how many of those calories will come from the particular package you have in hand.
Breaking down the calories: Protein, fat and carbohydrates are what constitute your calorie-intake. If the package in your hand is an entire meal in itself, it should have at least 25 to 30 grams of protein per individual serving. 15 grams of fat per meal is sufficient for youngsters. For carbs, add together the total fibre and protein in the meal and take away the amount of carbs mentioned on the packet. If the figure lies between 5 and 10, then you have made a good choice.
Opt for minimum ingredients: There seem to be plenty of ingredients going into a packaged food item today. Understanding each one of these ingredients may take a lifetime of standing in a shopping aisle. If you are looking for a pizza sauce base, then opt for the bottle which has the minimal number of ingredients making it up. It may have a shorter shelf life, but will help in ensuring you cook up some healthy recipes with them.
Choose real fruits and vegetables: Juices, cereal and other packaged food may be made up of real fruit or vegetable purees or processed powders and flavourings. Look at the label to understand which ones have real ingredients and opt for those.
Natural colouring and flavouring agents: Artificial colouring agents have been known to increase hyperactivity in some children. There are also several side effects related to long term consumption of these. Encourage healthy eating with foods that have natural flavouring and colouring agents made from fruit or vegetable concentrates.
These are just a few healthy tips you may keep in mind when choosing packaged foods for your children. Once you incorporate these thoughts into your regular shopping routine, they become second nature.

This was definitely unexpected. Well at least to me..
It has been confirmed that the role of little miss innocent Snow White will be our 'skort'-wearing-Baby J aka VietNam's representative for Miss Earth 07–Truong Truc Diem. And since girl's a model, I guess they felt obliged to match her up with a fellow friend, who in this case would be Vinh Thuy— a very familiar face in the world of print media.
If you have ever seen "Nu Hon Than Chet/Hot Kiss 1", you might recognize him as Thanh Hang's ex-boyfriend. But his minor acting career was initially bolstered by his modeling career. Vinh Thuy, who is also part Chinese and French, began modeling at the age of 18 and had already well established his fame within 6 months time. As if he wasn't already a hot topic enough, his name became even more talked about after so-called intimate pictures of him and Thuy Lam, Miss VietNam 2008, at some "wild" party for models, surfaced the internet.
Um, I didn't mean "doin-da-durty" intimate. Get your head out of the gutter :).
But the real scandal was what came after the incident. Both surprised everyone with a public announcement claiming that they are not a couple and are actually only best friends… and in other sources–cousins. o.O. Currently, Vinh Thuy is taking part in the VietNamese supermodel contest.
Baby J on the other hand, is a Miss Fashion 07 turned pint-sized pop act and apparently now turned Snow White. People have been wondering if the reason for her catwalking to the silver screen is due to her unsuccessful debut as a singer. In defense, J said that she does not consider herself to have officialy debuted yet and that her little Britney Spears "peep show" was only for the event's entertainment. Oh it was entertaining alright. J also reveals that after "Nhat Ky Bach Tuyet/Snow White's Diary" wraps up next year, she will officially debut as a singer and come out with an album. But really now "Baby J," how about we focus on your acting first and then you can continue counting your chickens before they hatch some other time.
well shes very pretty so i dont mind. the prince is a hottie too.
at least she is better than the other girls.
hehehe, Vinh Thuy and Thuy Lam just god friend, I think they know each other , when they was very young and sometime they has fun. But, becarefull! People have many ideas to talking about!

It was an incredible night. The kind that doesn't translate into words.
You had to be there. In one of the 500 seats at the Chinese Theater. When the lights when down. And then, still, when the lights came back up.
Nothing else to be said except that I am so full and proud and happy.
And I want to do it again and again.
Tonight we share this with the world.


Summer mastitis is usually a disease of non- lactating cows and heifers during the summer months. It also occurs occasionally in the rudimentary udders of young heifers, bulls and steers. In beef cows, summer mastitis is often seen when barren spring calving cows are kept for later breeding (e.g. transferred from the spring herd to the autumn-calving herd on the farm). It is important to note that some beef cows may stop lactating before the calf has been removed from its dam. There is a wide regional variation in its incidence in the UK.
Sick cow caused by summer mastitis. Note the swollen right fore teat and gland.
Sick cow caused by summer mastitis.
Bacterial causes include Arcanobacterium pyogenes, Peptostreptococcus indolicus, Streptococcus dysgalactiae which act synergistically to cause summer mastitis. Transmission of infection is thought to be by the head fly (Hydrotea irritans). These flies live in bushes and trees, and can only fly during mild, damp humid conditions and low wind speeds thus cases tend to be associated with "problem fields" next to woods and high hedges.
Note the huge number of flies surrounding the teat orifice.
Supervision of maiden and in-calf heifers and dry cows at pasture during the summer months is often sporadic due to other commitments on the farm and therefore mastitis may be well advanced before clinical signs are noted. During the early stages of the disease, a diligent stockman will notice gradual enlargement, both in length and diameter of the teat(s) of the affected gland(s), for up to one week before the heifer/cow becomes sick. Often large numbers of flies cluster around the affected teat orifice causing considerable irritation with frequent kicking. Obvious swelling of the affected quarter is associated with development of more generalised signs of illness including isolation from the group, stiffness and reluctance to walk, lack of grazing giving a gaunt appearance, joint distension of the fetlock and hock joints and rapid loss of body condition. Veterinary treatment is essential for these sick cattle.
The affected quarter is swollen, hard, painful and hot, with a grossly enlarged teat.
The affected quarter is swollen, hard, painful and hot, with a grossly enlarged teat. The udder secretion is thick and clotted (like grains of rice) with foul-smelling green/yellow pus. Affected animals may abort and may die if prompt treatment is not administered. Even after prompt treatment, the affected quarter is permanently damaged. Illness leads to the birth of weakly calves which have a high mortality rate. Colostrum from another cow is strongly recommended for these calves.
Colostrum from another cow is strongly recommended for weakly calves born to cows with severe summer mastitis.
Diagnosis is based upon finding of a swollen and oedematous quarter(s) with a characteristic foul discharge; bacteriology is rarely undertaken.
Your veterinary surgeon will consider various drugs including parenteral antibiotic injections such as procaine penicillin, potentiated sulphonamides or tylosin, and intramammary antibiotics (penicillin or intramammary erythromycin tubes). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID injections) for three consecutive days reduce pyrexia, swelling and pain; corticosteroids reduce joint effusions much more effectively but will induce abortion and therefore should not be used in pregnant cattle.
Stripping of the udder should be undertaken as often as is practical but is resented by the animal due to the painful and oedematous teat/gland and kicking is common. Amputation of the affected teat is often requested by farmers to facilitate drainage but there is the risk of considerable haemorrhage and the teat amputation site rapidly seals over.
Stripping of the udder should be undertaken as often as is practical.
Reduce exposure by grazing cows away from susceptible fields. Higher, more exposed pastures are to be preferred away from clumps of trees or high hedges. Fly control measures (usually synthetic pyrethroids) include methods such as impregnated fly tags, pour-on preparations and sprays.
Fly control measures (usually synthetic pyrethroids) include methods such as impregnated fly tags, pour-on preparations and sprays. (Note the trauma caused to the teat by the cow repeatedly licking the teat due to irritation from flies).
Dry cow therapy remains the most effective means of preventing summer mastitis both in cows at drying-off, and in susceptible pregnant heifers during the summer months. As a general rule, the longer duration dry cow antibiotic preparations should be used but only after consultation with your veterinary surgeon. In herds with a severe summer mastitis challenge re-tubing cows, or more commonly at-risk heifers, at three week intervals has proven successful but is considered cost-prohibitive in beef cattle. Care must be exercised when infusing intramammary antibiotic preparations in heifers whereby the nozzle of the tube is held at the teat orifice, but not forced into the teat canal lest damage occurs. The teats must be swabbed with surgical spirit before tubing and a teat dip used afterwards. Cattle should not be tubed in wet weather or in unhygienic conditions because of increased risks from introducing infection into the udder. If in any doubt, consult your veterinary surgeon regarding this important aspect of dry cow management.
Cattle should not be tubed in wet weather or in unhygienic conditions because of increased risks from introducing infection into the udder. Gloves should be worn where possible.
Sealing the teat canal, using physical barriers such micropore/adhesive tape and external teat sealants, has been used to good effect. Remove affected cow from other cows as the affected cow is a potential source of infection. Housing the infected cow will reduce fly worry.
Loss of an affected quarter reduces future milk production by around 10 per cent and affected cows command poor sale prices. Convalescence is extended and cattle may lose 50-100 kg liveweight.

Johannes Hilverdink (Groningen, 28 januari 1813 - Amsterdam, 1 oktober 1902) was een Nederlands kunstschilder. Hij was ridder in de Orde van de Eikenkroon en stemhebbend lid van Arti et Amicitiae.

Biografische schets
Johannes werd in Groningen geboren als zoon van de acteurs (toneelspelers) Jacobus Johannes Marianus Hilverdink (1783-1828) en Anna Maria Corver. Zijn moeder was een kleindochter van de indertijd beroemde acteur en theatervernieuwer Marten Corver. Zijn tante Geertruida Jacoba Hilverdink was eveneens een bekend toneelspeelster. Het gezin verhuisde naar Amsterdam, toen Johannes nog jong was. Daar bezocht hij de tekenacademie. Hilverdink schilderde romantische landschappen en zeegezichten, meest aquarellen, pasteltekeningen en litho's.

Johannes Hilverdink was getrouwd met Martha Catharina Peduzzi en is is de vader van Eduard Alexander Hilverdink, aan wie hij ook les gaf. Zijn andere zoon Johannes Jacobus Antonius Hilverdink (1937-1814) was ook kunstschilder.

More than 80 travel testing providers given warning over misleading pricing
todayAugust 23, 2021
Companies will be removed from the Government website list if they fail to take action within three days of strike one as part of the new two-strike policy.
Sajid Javid has promised to crack down on "cowboy" behaviour by companies who take advantage of holidaymakers with misleading prices for coronavirus testing kits.
The Health Secretary highlighted 82 private travel testing firms, who make up around 18% of those on the Government website, who are to be issued with a two-strike warning and could be struck off the official gov.uk list.
A recent Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) review discovered they were displaying lower prices on the gov.uk site, which lists a variety of providers who are available, than people would have to pay in reality once they get to the checkout.
Companies will be removed from the website list if they fail to take action within three days of strike one as part of the new two-strike policy.
Mr Javid said: "It is absolutely unacceptable for any private testing company to be taking advantage of holidaymakers and today's action clamps down on this cowboy behaviour.
"Fifty seven firms will be removed from the gov.uk list and a further 82 will be given a two-strike warning – if they advertise misleading prices ever again, they're off.
"We are also introducing regular spot checks this week to make sure all private providers follow the rules and meet our high standards of transparency."
The difference between the advertised headline price and the real cost at checkout has been put down to companies being dishonest and misleading in an effort to lure customers or via additional fees such as delivery charges.
The consumer rights group Which? condemned the Government for taking nearly half a year to "properly audit" its own list of private test providers to remove firms that do not exist and those who advertise misleading prices.
Such a state of affairs is "inexcusable", according to Which? travel editor Rory Boland.
He said: "The number of firms being taken off or facing a warning shows the huge difficulty travellers face in choosing a trustworthy, reliable test provider. Many will have faced delays and missing tests because they used cowboy firms listed by the Government.
"While it is frustrating that it has taken so long for the Government to clamp down on rogue providers, with many summer holidays already ruined, it is vital that it now takes immediate action to remove any companies not following the rules."
The DHSC said the gov.uk site will be updated to reflect the true cost of the tests, and companies will be warned this week they will be removed if they advertise misleading prices again.
A total of 57 companies will be removed from the list on Monday as they no longer exist or do not provide the tests that are to be taken by those who have returned to England on days two and eight of their arrival from abroad.
Regular spot checks are to be introduced from this week to make sure companies are complying with the rules, that prices are accurately displayed and that the providers are legitimate and have not changed their name to get back on the list.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is carrying out a review of the market amid concerns about the high cost of PCR tests for travel abroad.
The DHSC said it will share its findings from its review with the CMA competition watchdog.
It added that tests booked for travel with companies who are not on the list can still be used for travel, providing those firms meet legal requirements.
Earlier this month, the DHSC said the cost of NHS Test and Trace tests for international arrivals would be reduced – going down from £88 to £68 for travellers coming from green list countries, or those arriving from amber list countries who are fully vaccinated.
The cost for people arriving from amber list countries who are not double jabbed was reduced from £170 to £136 for two tests.

Super Fi Emporium Opening Second East Harlem Supermarket

Super Fi Emporium is opening its second full-service supermarket in East Harlem, Commercial Observer has learned, after spending $10 million on a commercial unit yesterday.
SEE ALSO: East Harlem Affordable Development Gets a Grocery Store
The new market will span the entire 12,750 square feet of ground-floor retail space at HAP Investment's new 2211 Third Avenue at the corner of East 121st Street. The market is participating in the city's Food Retail Expansion to Support Health, or FRESH, program that provides savings to owners and increases the availability of affordable, healthful food options in areas of high need.
"We are thrilled to be the retail tenant at 2211 Third Avenue," Anthony Reynoso, one of the owners of SuperFi Emporium, said in a statement. "2211 Third Avenue is a great addition to the area, and we look forward to being the go-to supermarket for the tenant community as well as the rest of the East Harlem neighborhood."
Super Fi has a location 1635 Lexington Avenue between East 103rd and East 104th Streets, which it reopened in June 2013, also via the FRESH program.
Douglas Elliman, Faith Hope Consolo and Arthur Maglio represented both sides in the deal, and they are working on another deal for Super Fi Emporium in Harlem. "They believe in Harlem," Consolo said. "For East Harlem, this is a nice push. Harlem needs the same options in food that is all over the city." The new market will open in spring 2018.
HAP hosted a ribbon cutting and opening ceremony for the completion of the 108-unit building, known as Hap Ten, on Nov. 7. It was designed by Fischer + Makooi Architects.
"With the addition of SuperFi Emporium, we are certain the building will be the most sought after rental destination in East Harlem," Eran Polack, the chief executive officer of HAP Investments, said in a prepared statement.
Monthly residential rents at 2211 Third Avenue range from $2,100 for a studio to $3,750 for a two-bedroom, according to information provided by HAP. The building features doormen, an elevator, a fitness center, a roof deck, terraces, private storage, a bike room, onsite parking and in-unit washers and dryers.
"This is a win-win for Harlem and it's a win-win for [Super Fi]," Consolo said. "And it's a wonderful amenity for the building."
HAP Investments acquired 2211 Third Avenue, 214 East 121st Street and 216 East 121st Street from Tahl-Propp Equities in May 2014 for $13 million, according to property records.
Keywords: 1635 Lexington Avenue, 214 East 121st Street, 216 East 121st Street, 2211 Third Avenue, Anthony Reynoso, Arthur Maglio, Douglas Elliman, Eran Polack, Faith Hope Consolo, Fischer + Makooi Architects, HAP Investment, Hap Ten, New York City Economic Development, Super Fi Emporium, Tahl-Propp Equities

Why I'm (reluctantly) ditching my Pixel 6 Pro
An uneven handset that's still difficult to beat.
Robert Triggs / Android Authority
I'm going to miss the Google Pixel 6 Pro, I really am. On its good days during the nine months it has served as my daily driver, it's been one of my favorite handsets of all time. But the constant issues have finally worn me down, with the final straw coming in the form of several hair-pulling issues during a recent vacation.
It's time for something new, something more reliable.
Have you ditched your Pixel 6 or 6 Pro?
I had a Pixel 6, I ditched it.
I still have my Pixel 6.
I had a Pixel 6 Pro, I ditched it.
I still have my Pixel 6 Pro.
I'm thinking about ditching my Pixel 6 or 6 Pro.
I never bought a Pixel 6 or 6 Pro.
You can live with the little things until a big thing comes along
Throughout my recent trip, I regularly encountered the dreaded connectivity issue my colleague Rita detailed the other week. The Pixel 6 Pro languished with a pitiful bar of HSPA+ while my wife's Galaxy S20, on the same network, sat quite happily with two bars of 4G. Not great while you're shouldering the responsibility of road trip DJ or trying to find nearby places to grab a bite.
Read more: The Pixel 6 Pro has the worst connectivity and reception of any phone I've used
Like many of you, I haven't traveled a lot in the past year, so I didn't notice this issue until now — I'm mostly at home, where the connection is slow but stable. Although to be honest, I don't remember having connectivity issues in the first few months when I spent a bit of time roaming in and out of 5G areas without issue. It wouldn't surprise me if Google broke something during an update in the past six months.
Connectivity and overheating problems leave me yearning for a more reliable handset.
That was far from my only issue, though. While driving, I often used Google Maps' "stops" feature to plot a more scenic drive or dodge local traffic hotspots. An hour into the journey, my Pixel 6 Pro was already running hot and slowed to a crawl switching between Maps, Signal, and Spotify (don't worry, I was the passenger). Just as Maps changed to the next waypoint, the app hung indefinitely. I had to force close, losing my waypoints in the process. That's annoying enough in the middle of nowhere, but a problem compounded by a phone that already struggles to hold a signal.
If these issues occurred in isolation, I would have chalked them up to bad luck or a one-time thing. But I've continually glossed over stalled Wi-Fi connections, the sluggish fingerprint scanner, a not particularly scratch-resistant display, high temperatures during video calls, finicky wireless charging speeds, and screen auto-dimming issues in the last nine months. I've lost count of how many times I told myself these were prices worth paying to stay in first class on the Google Express. But I've finally shaken the illusion — the experience doesn't match the brochure.
I was telling myself this was the price to stick with a first-class Google experience, but I've finally shaken that illusion.
Perhaps more frustrating is that Google has been improving the Pixel 6 experience since launch but still hasn't fixed many of the lingering, fundamental issues. We've seen quality of life improvements like VoLTE roaming support and tweaked camera performance as well as entirely new features like Pocket Operator and digital vaccination cards. But the fact that so many customers are still suffering from issues reported months ago suggests these either can't be fixed or that Google simply isn't prioritizing them.
Our full verdicts: Google Pixel 6 review | Google Pixel 6 Pro review
What are the alternatives?
Truth be told, I (we) knew the phone wasn't perfect while writing our second opinion Pixel 6 Pro review back in November. My primary motivation for putting up with these bugbears has been the Pixel 6 Pro's flexible camera array. It's still a setup that's tough to beat, even though I've grown weary of the phone's heavy-handed processing and so-so ultrawide capabilities. The camera's selfie portraits and extra Google Photos editing tools are really great and an experience I'll struggle to replicate elsewhere. I'm also a sucker for the offbeat design and the 120Hz display is equally great, but that's no longer enough for me to keep living with the phone's other flaws.
Google's Pixel 6 Pro is still hard to beat for the price but there are alternatives out there.
The problem is, what else is out there? A great flagship camera is a must-have for me, but the Google Pixel 6 Pro remains in a league of its own in its price bracket. For a comparative photography experience, you have to turn to far more expensive alternatives like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Sony Xperia 1 IV, or Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max. That's not a hugely attractive prospect for my wallet, given their price tags all start north of $1,100.
I'm fortunate enough to have a Galaxy S22 Ultra sitting on my desk that will shortly be taking over (perks of the job), but I've had my eye on the more Pixel-priced Galaxy S22 or S22 Plus to buy as a long-term solution. Both of them are pretty great all-rounders, have solid cameras, and would, most importantly, bail me out of all these aforementioned issues. There's a small part of me that still wants to slug it out with the wonderful yet flawed Pixel 6 Pro and hope that Google eventually fixes the problems, but I need to tune that out.
A lesson for Google: An excellent phone can't have issues being, well, a phone.
The lesson for the upcoming Google Pixel 7 is that an excellent long-term purchase can't have issues being, well, a phone. Great cameras, live translations, and long-term upgrades tick all the right boxes, but losing signal on a trip out or apps crashing when you need them most quickly turns liveable niggles into buyer's remorse.

NEET & Self Rule
8:38 am May 10, 2016
Every time Kashmir is trying to stabilize a bit, there is some tension erupting at some level. By and large, governance structure is main contributor of these frequent issues. After the new government took over, it was first NIT and soon the Handwara forced a new crisis. As both the issues are managed to a great extent, the CET issue is the main focus of the concern.
Entry into the professional courses has evolved over the decades. At one point of time, it was just a nomination process that the rulers would do and favour the favourites. Then the process became formal and took its own time and eventually stopped with the setting up of board of professional entrance examinations. Not fool proof, though, the board has gradually started making processes better.
Now, the central government is being directed to take over the entire process and make it an all India process, strictly as is happening in the civil services. The all India test, National Entrance and Eligibility Test (NEET) is not a new process. It has actually started many years back but J&K, many other states, and various privately run colleges and minority institutions were outside its ambit. Candidates from J&K were not debarred from being part of the examination but would not get admissions even after they pass it at the national level. Now Supreme Court has left no exclusions.
While it is clear that even though the test will help create a merit list for the state, the professional trainings institutions appearing in the state will not have any non-local candidate. But that is just not the only tension that J&K, especially Kashmir has.
J&K has most of its activities linked to the constitutional status that it enjoys. Once it is directed to be part of the NEET, it will have to roll back its infrastructure and wind up BOPEE. Once that happens, the NEET will become a public issue and source to another series of tensions.
Apparently, it does not seem that NEET will eventually lead J&K to relive the REC-to-NIT experience, but the subsequent follow up at the national level can create that situation too.
But the bigger problem that could be around is for the student. The candidates appearing for CET within J&K have their own ranking set-up and are apparently happy with that. This is despite the fact that half of the seats in all the professional colleges are going to the reserved categories leaving barely half for the merit. While nothing much can change in the overall numbers, the ranking set up can disturb the younger lot a bit.
On the flip side of it, state will make its own saving as NEET will take over the exercise. It will never be a local scandal if the question papers leak as has happened in the past in J&K.
Even if the situation remains unchanged, J&K joining NEET will make a major political issue in the state, especially Kashmir. It will belittle the political set up that would be accused of failing in protecting the autonomy of the state.

A reduction in Western Australia's annual harvest quota of wild sandalwood is set to improve conservation and management outcomes for the sought-after native tree.
Environment Minister Albert Jacob said the wild sandalwood quota would fall from 3,000 tonnes to 2,500 tonnes per year from July 1, 2016.
"This follows a recommendation from the Legislative Council Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs and a review by an expert panel that the quota be reduced," Mr Jacob said.
"The new harvest level requires that a maximum of 50 per cent, or 1,250 tonnes each year, be green or living sandalwood and includes all parts of the tree except leaves, bark and very small branches to maximise what is used.
"Sandalwood is highly valued for its wood and aromatic oils so it is essential that we manage this wild resource in a sustainable way as the industry transitions to sandalwood that is mostly grown in plantations."
The Minister said the amendment to the sandalwood harvest quota - the first since 1996 - was one of a number of State Government reforms to wild sandalwood management.
"There will be much higher penalties for illegally harvesting wild sandalwood under the new Biodiversity Conservation Bill, which is before State Parliament," he said.
"The new legislation will replace the outdated Sandalwood Act 1929 and raise the $200 penalty to $200,000 for individuals and $1 million for corporations."
The new wild sandalwood harvest quota applies for 10 years until December 31, 2026.

LAX: Four Gators earn end of season accolades; Coaching staff robbed of honors
By Brian D. Fox, Jr. on May 1, 2019 • ( Leave a comment )

The American Athletic Conference announced their end of season honors one day before the conference tournament begins.
Florida was heavily represented as four players earned honors and seven were named First Team All-Conference.
However, the American didn't select Florida's staff, led by Amanda O'Leary as the Coaching Staff of the Year, despite dominating the competition throughout league play.
Florida honors-
Attacker of the Year: Lindsey Ronbeck
Midfielder of the Year: Shannon Kavanagh
Defender of the Year: Cara Trombetta
Goalkeeper of the Year: Haley Hicklen
First team All-Conference-
Attacker Grace Haus
Attacker Lindsey Ronbeck
Midfielder Shannon Kavanagh
Midfielder Sydney Pirreca
Defender Sabrina Cristodero
Defender Cara Trombetta
Goalkeeper Haley Hicklen
Cincinnati's coaching staff was named the American Athletic Conference's Coaching Staff of the Year, led by head coach Gina Thompson.
The issue with this is that Florida trounced the Bearcats for the American title in the final regular season contest. The Gators defeated Cincinnati 25-6 last Saturday.
Even if you wanted to look at the entire season rather than just league play, both teams finished with an equal record at 11-6, but Florida played through a gauntlet of Top-20 teams.
The Gators are ranked no. 10 in the RPI ranking while (with the same record) Cincinnati is all the way back at no. 53. The Bearcats ranking is even behind 7-12 California (no. 49) and 6-11 Elon (no. 50, Florida defeated 15-5 in early March), proving their record was inflated by poor competition.
I understand the conference wanting to help promote the sport in other markets, but to put Amanda O'Leary's staff in the same breath as Cincinnati's this season is unfair and irresponsible by those who voted.
Florida will face Vanderbilt in the AAC Tournament semifinals on Thursday with a possible rematch with Cincinnati on Saturday.

Q: What is the total number of nested loop execution? Q1 - At the following double-nested loop what will be the final value in m if loop does for n.
Of course it is not desired to do loop and see what the m is! Since n can be very large!

m = 0
for i = 1 to n-2
   for j = i+1,n-1
       for k = j+1,n
           m += 1

Q2 - How did you find the answer? I mean what was the algorithm/technique that you used to solve the problem?
Q3 - What are your recommendation to solve similar problems?

Here is the answer that I was looking for:
Answer:

def ntn(n,k):
    """returns the number of iterations for k nested dependent loops(n)"""
    return long(np.prod(n-np.arange(k,dtype=float)) /
                np.prod(np.arange(k,dtype=float)+1))

example:

>>> ntn(1000,4)
41417124750L

>>> ntn(1e20,3)
166666666666666650797607483335462097315368077619447843520512L

A: Q3: Find a pattern to the question.
Q2: Assuming n:=10
Notice that i will loop from 1 to 8
Therefore, j will loop from
2 to 9
3 to 9
...
9 to 9

Therefore, k will loop from
             loops                                        value             index
3 to 10, 4 to 10, 5 to 10, ..., 10 to 10          8 + 7 + 6 + ... + 1         8
         4 to 10, 5 to 10, ..., 10 to 10              7 + 6 + ... + 1         7
                  5 to 10, ..., 10 to 10                  6 + ... + 1         6
                           ...      ...                           ...       ...
                                10 to 10                            1         1

Notice the pattern here: if we start the index from the bottom number (1), to get the mth number in the sequence, you simply sum 1 through m.
Q1: You figure this one out on your own. Hint: it's a summation of summations...

A: Answer:
Combination formula is as follows:

can be used for this purpose.
In Python there is comb() function within scipy package which can be used too.
However the following solution is much more flexible and faster and the resulting digits are much longer.

import numpy as np

def ntn(n,k):
    """returns the number of iterations for k nested dependent loops(n)"""
    return long(np.prod(n-np.arange(k,dtype=float)) /
                np.prod(np.arange(k,dtype=float)+1))

Examples:

>>> ntn(1000,4)
41417124750L

>>> ntn(1e20,3)
166666666666666650797607483335462097315368077619447843520512L

Freedom Singer: Modeling Performative Witnessing in Documentary Theatre
Lisa Aikman
Volume 28, Number 1, March 2018
10.1353/tt.2018.0004
Lisa Aikman (bio)
This essay will illustrate how Freedom Singer, the latest documentary theatre offering from Toronto-based company Project: Humanity, combines personal narrative with a unique repurposing of headphone verbatim; this combination complicates and interrupts easy identification with the autobiographical subject to highlight the responsibility and culpability of the individual in the perpetuation of national narratives. The play wrestles with Canada's history of slavery, its national narrative regarding the Underground Railroad, and the question of whose stories have been included or erased from that narrative—all through the lens of the researcher/performer, who is both a musician and descendant of a "freedom runner" (a term for those who fled slavery in the 1800s). Freedom Singer pairs the autobiographical frame that Project: Humanity has employed in director Andrew Kushnir's previous plays, The Middle Place and Small Axe, with the new (to this company) performance mode of headphone verbatim and with original music created by the researcher/performer. The interruption that the headphones facilitate then helps address autobiography's problematic potential to foster a sense that, once one has felt sympathy for the performer, one's job is done. Rather than eliciting sympathy, Freedom Singer, as this essay will demonstrate, asks its audience to engage in performative witnessing and thus provides a useful example of how documentary theatre can model ethical encounters with others.
Sympathy has long been dismissed as a tactic for motivating significant action, as the evocation of sympathy all too often leaves the sympathizer feeling that their emotional response means that they cannot possibly be "accomplices" to the suffering—or as Susan Sontag states, "our sympathy proclaims our innocence as well as our impotence" (91). Derek Paget similarly admonishes work that allows the spectator to sympathize with, and by turn identify with, the hero of a "true story" who stands up to systemic oppression, cautioning that identification fosters the feeling that the spectator also has "fought back, simply by watching" and thus stultifies actual political action (27). In the case of Freedom Singer, for a white settler Canadian like myself, a performance about the Underground Railroad and Canada's fraught history of racial violence that succeeded only in soliciting a sympathetic or even empathetic response could allow me to comfortably occupy the role of "white savior" and declare myself separate from, and thus without responsibility to intervene in, my country's history of white supremacy.
A performance's potential to foster this sense of sympathy (or even empathy) as accomplishment can be exacerbated by an autobiographical frame, because the label of autobiography runs the risk of serving as an overarching "authenticating symbol" underwriting "an appeal to an unproblematised truth" (Heddon 26). By introducing more voices to the narrative and keeping the spectators at a demonstrable distance from these new voices, headphone verbatim complicates the autobiographical subject's and by extension the spectator's presumed access to an objective truth. Moreover, this [End Page 15] performance tactic both engages in and encourages a key step of what Jenn Stephenson calls "performative witnessing" (45), a form of ethical witnessing that requires the witness to cede any control over the narrative, and to recognize and act on their own culpability within that narrative. This narrative about the Underground Railroad, which effectively solicits performative witnessing, goes beyond asking white spectators like myself to recognize the ways in which we benefit from living in a white supremacist society, in order to ask all spectators to examine how we perpetuate or resist white supremacist ideology in the narratives we choose to reproduce.1 By coupling personal narrative with headphone verbatim, Freedom Singer effectively solicits this witnessing to engage in a complex look at Canada's accepted national narrative regarding the Underground Railroad, interrogating who has been left out of the narrative and modeling ethical encounters with those underrepresented voices, and with the narratives that those voices challenge.
Freedom Singer in Brief
Freedom Singer is a documentary play chronicling performer Khari Wendell McClelland's travels across Canada and the United States in search of information about his great-great-grandmother Kizzy—information including but not limited to what kinds of songs she would...

Professional Racing Driver
Naoki Yokomizo
KAWASAKI WAY
Professional race car driver. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture in 1980. Won his first championship in his debut race in 1993. Has raced in the Formula Toyota race series, the All Japan Formula 3 Championship, and the Super GT series. Won the final race of the season to claim the championship in the GT300 Class in 2012.
In 2012, I won the GT300 Class auto racing championship and I can say that it's a championship that Mr. Kawasaki and I won together.
When I first met Mr. Kawasaki, I wasn't on a team and had spent a year without a car. For a race car driver, not racing for a year is synonymous with retirement. It's difficult to come back from there and even if you do, it's even more difficult to achieve a better performance than before you were reduced to being without a spot. But Mr. Kawasaki told me that"If we are going work together, let's aim to drive in the world's best races. Let's win the GT300 Class championship,"and with the goal set that high, he started to give me treatments.
I suppose that the effects of the treatments can differ depending on the individual, but in my case I have seen two big changes and they were the driving force behind my triumph in the series championship.
One is increased concentration. In summer, the temperature inside a race car can reach 70 to 80 degrees Celsius and on top of that we wear a helmet and an inflammable racing suit. After a race we're exhausted and it's possible to lose as much as 5kg. Under such extremely harsh conditions, even a tiny lapse in concentration can lead to a crash and at the very least it doesn't help your performance. Now that I receive treatments from Mr. Kawasaki, my concentration lasts throughout a race lasting an hour and a half and I'm able to tap my potential to the maximum.
The other big change is an improved field of vision. Clear vision is a requirement for a racer and Mr. Kawasaki's treatments have sharpened my vision and widened my field of vision. I was most astonished when I recorded the same lap times at night as during the day. Normally, lap times are worse in night races because of poorer vision.
Lastly, although this may be hard to believe, it's really true that when Mr. Kawasaki treats my head, it becomes smaller.
Race car drivers wear helmets every time they go out on the track and after I get treated by Mr. Kawasaki, my head is smaller and it swims in my usual helmet. I have to put extra foam pads in my helmet to get it fit to my smaller head.
Frankly, I don't have any negative feelings about myself at the moment. Thanks to Mr. Kawasaki, my motivation is very high and I'm a very positive thinker. I feel like nothing is impossible for me. I want to continue to work with Mr. Kawasaki with the aim of becoming the world champion.
KAWASAKI WAY


I'm not about being selfish, unless we're talking about (a) pizza or (b) sharing [insert hot celebrity here] in which case the answer will always be no.
That being said, I'm interested in hearing from YOU! Consider this my official request to…uh…well, know if YOU have any requests.
Now I won't be so bold as to make any promises that I can always deliver. What I can promise is to always read whatever comments you post here. I also make no promises as to my reactions of your said postings. Not that it will really matter as none of you will ever see these reactions first hand. And if you ever do see them, my lawyer will be in touch with you shortly.
But if I think I can write about it, then write I shall.
I want you to write something that represents an eternal struggle between, I dunno, anything – the mind and the heart or whatever. But I feel (and I don't know why) if you wrote a poem about struggling then it'd be the best think I ever read.
This will definitely be kept in my mind for future consideration and writings :D thank you!


On Tuesday, July 2, Dallas-based romance author Francis Ray passed away. I was shocked when I heard the news and saddened. Even now (several days later) as I'm typing this I still can't believe she's gone. Yet even in the midst of my disbelief and gloom, I am still able to smile because of the beautiful memories that are exploding in my head. I was blessed to hang out with Francis for many years and it's the times and experiences that we shared that reside front and center now.
Francis and I met in the early 1990s. She was already a member of North Texas Romance Writers of America when I stumbled upon and joined the group. From our first meeting, we clicked. Maybe because we were the only two black members at the time. Maybe because we both loved writing and reading. Or maybe because we shared a strong commitment to write about black people in love. Regardless, we clicked and I was privileged to watch (from the front row) her writing career coast, accelerate, then skyrocket.
I remember her writing career started with short stories for women's and confessional magazines. Her stories featured white characters. Then, she moved into full-length novels with black characters. I remember her disappointment when a white editor told her she would buy her novel if she changed the characters to white. Francis said no and a few years later sold that same book, and yes, the characters remained black. I remember her excitement when she learned one of her novels would be turned into a movie. I attended the movie screening and if I was walking on cloud nine that night then she was floating in heaven. I also recall her being so emotionally impacted by a story she wrote on domestic violence that she started a fund to financially support women (and men) who desired an escape from abuse.
By the time God called her home, Francis had churned out an amazing 54 "sweet" romance novels. Sweet romances are defined as those that feature heroines with high moral values and limited life/sexual experiences. Sweet romances are usually light on sub plots but heavy on the main plot, that of boy and girl meet, fall in love, and live happily ever after. Francis was the queen of sweet romances and readers couldn't get enough of them. Thousands of fans worldwide devoured her books, planting her solidly on both the New York Times and USA Today best seller lists. Not bad for a school nurse from the small town of Richland/Corsicana (Texas).
In recent years, I didn't get to see or talk to Francis much. Our paths diverged but the memories haven't and for that I am grateful. Thank you, dear Francis for the sweet memories. May you rest in sweet love.


"in general, manure application on any crops is not advised." With the T-sum value hovering near 200 in several areas across the Fraser Valley, it is important to remember the other factors to consider before a forage field is suitable for spreading manure.
Refer to Manure Spreading Advisory #3 of 2017 (Nov 1, 2017) for the current Advisory: "in general, manure application on any crops is not advised." The following Update does not change the Advisory. The T-Sum is one factor used to determine appropriate timing for the first manure application on grass fields. More importantly, however, decisions about the first manure application should consider the overall risks of runoff from the field, not just the state of the grasses. On some but not all fields, conditions will be suitable for manure application before T-Sum reaches 200. On other fields, conditions will not be suitable even after T-Sum reaches 200 (e.g. if fields are still saturated from rains). T-Sum values, a sum of daily mean temperatures above 0°C, for the region are listed below and compared with values for the same time last year and the historical average.

Q: Play again option in C++ not working for number guessing game When the user inputs 'Y' to try again, the game runs but only gives the user 1 try instead of 3 tries.

Firstly, If you wonder why the game behaves unexpected way after the first one, You did not set back the Tries to 0 after playing the game.
And, int startgame() should return only one variable. You are trying to return guessnum and Tries at the same time. The only reason the first game is running as expected is that you are using global variables, which is also considered as a bad practice(Some company may fire you if you use it without any good reason).
Furthermore, you are getting two int function arguments from main call, which is not valid. (main function signature should be int main(void) or int main(int argc, char* argv[])). I am surprised that the compiler did not catch this error.
And the variables (int a, int b) are actually not used. When you find unused variables, it is usually a good practice to remove them for maintainability.

A: So int Tries = 0; is a global variable. It's set before main().
You basically have
int Tries = 0;

main()
{
  while (true) {

    do
    {
       Tries++;
    } while(Tries < 3);

  }
}

Do you see that for each iteration in while, the value of Tries from the previous iteration is used? You would need to reset it before iterating again.
But there is no reason to have "Tries" as a global variable since you only need to know about it in the while(true)-loop. This is generally the case for a variable - put it to the closest scope possible:
main()
{
  while (true) {
    int Tries = 0;
    do
    {
       Tries++;
    } while(Tries < 3);

  }
}

Now it's correctly reset between loops, and it is clear it is only needed for the loop logic.
Try to do the same for you other variables.

A: Try:
if (ans == 'N')
{
    cout << "Thanks for playing!";
    break;
}
else
{
    Tries = 0;
}

Central Alberta Theatre launches season with Wild Dust
Central Alberta Theatre has gone 'all western' with their first theatrical outing of the season, currently onstage at the Quality Inn North Hill. Performances for Wild Dust, penned by Flip Kobler and directed by Craig Scott, continue Oct. 23rd-25th, 30th-31st and Nov. 1st, 5th-6th. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 6 p.m. and curtain at 7:30 p.m.
A dust storm is about to hit town back in the old west of the 1880s. The men have gone to take care of the cattle leaving their women to take shelter in the solidly built saloon/brothel. But things tense up when essentially two worlds collide – a couple of 'society ladies' have taken shelter in the midst of the working girls. Add to that the arrival of Cooper (Daniel Huss) who stumbles in seeking shelter, and the plot thickens that much more.
Rounding out the cast are Laura Grinde as Marion, Muriah Willis as Belle, Carla Falk as Sally, Alex Taylor as Denise, Cynthia Edwards as Louise, Myra Ouellette as Gertie, Kathryn Huedepohl as 'Hard' Cora and Roxzane Armstrong as Rebecca.
Wild Dust is really a mix of humour and drama – there's a few tense bits to be sure plus a dash of romance — all elements that make for a pretty solid story line. The set is well put together and most importantly, the cast gelled well as an ensemble. Kudos to Craig for providing solid direction for this group – a larger cast then what would normally be seen on a CAT stage.
Also, he's done a good job of building a sense of 'naturalism' and ease amongst the cast – it's challenging to have such a large group in a constricted space who are consistently onstage at the same time. Actors have to keep in mind that they have to always be 'on', even when they aren't speaking. Most of the time, this is carried out with a realistic feel.
Standouts among the cast are many – Falk has been perfectly cast as the sarcastic Sally. Falk has a way of delivering lines that pretty well nails the tone of a scene every time.
Willis is also terrific as the rather simple but charming Belle and Grinde, in a way, is kind of the central, balancing force amidst the goings-on around her. She does this really well (plus she wields a wonderful singing voice).
My main criticism of this play is more of an over-arching one – I felt that, on many levels, there needed to be a heightening of both pacing, emotion and expression.
Also, more tension. More animosity. More back and forth fired-up bickering. After all, these women are trapped in a really desperate situation, which could turn deadly.
I don't for a minute question the talents of those involved with this play, but I would say toss out the inhibitions and let the crackling dialogue be fueled by a fresh sense of energy. In no time, Wild Dust could be a whole lot more 'wild'.
