De roodkeelvliegenvanger (Ficedula rufigula) is een zangvogel uit de familie van vliegenvangers (Muscicapidae). Het is een voor uitsterven gevoelige, endemische vogelsoort op het Indonesische eiland Sulawesi.

Kenmerken
De vogel is 11 tot 12 cm lang. Het is een vliegenvanger die qua postuur en formaat lijkt op de kleine vliegenvanger. Van boven is de vogel donker blauwgrijs, de slagpennen zijn nog donkerder, bijna zwart. De kin en de keel zijn licht roodbruin, vager van kleur op de borst en flanken. De poten zijn lichtgrijs en de snavel is zwart. Het vrouwtje is wat doffer gekleurd.

Verspreiding en leefgebied
Deze soort is endemisch op het eiland Celebes, maar ontbreekt op het zuidoostelijk gelegen schiereiland. Het is een bosvogel die leeft in de ondergroei van tropisch regenwoud, maar ook in secundair bos en dicht rotanpalmbos in laagland en heuvelland tot 600 m en soms 1000 m boven zeeniveau.

Status
De roodkeelvliegenvanger heeft een beperkt verspreidingsgebied en daardoor is de kans op uitsterven aanwezig. De grootte van de populatie is niet gekwantificeerd, maar de populatie-aantallen nemen af door ontbossing waarbij natuurlijk bos wordt omgezet in gebied voor agrarisch gebruik en menselijke bewoning. Om deze redenen staat deze soort als gevoelig op de Rode Lijst van de IUCN.

Las Vegas attorney Scott Cook recently completed a transaction for a new media company that involved the acquisition of two newspapers for the client from one of the nation's largest multi-state media holding companies. The transaction included a transfer of real estate, intellectual property rights, and the physical assets of the newspapers. A number of ancillary agreements such as a noncompetition agreement, printing agreement, and transition agreement were negotiated as part of the transaction. San Francisco attorney Mark Davis provided an opinion letter for various aspects of the transaction. Gordon & Rees will provide ongoing general counsel services to the client.


We've all seen it on some old show or another, the big roast pig comes out to the feast on a platter that takes four people to carry, with a juicy red apple in its mouth. Yum! I think I've seen it roasted in Hawaiian movies, medieval movies…talk about a culture gap! So why the apple? What makes pairing fruit with the pig so popular? I did a little look into the fruits that are often cooked with meats. Mostly in the European style, though Asians do it famously, too.
A lot of times I feel that we don't really think twice about sweet meat, unless we have something against it. I can't stand sweet pork in my Mexican food, yet I'll dip my pork chops in applesauce. We even roast our chickens and shrimps in honey. Some of my family throws sugar or honey in with their ground beef when making spaghetti or lasagna. I'm not a fan, but they like it. Dip my pork chops in applesauce, though, and people look at me like I'm the crazy one. Apple sauce isn't nearly as sweet as honey or straight sugar in your meat. I like the combination of flavors when mixing sweet and savory. Fruit brings a more subtle sweetness that doesn't overwhelm the flavor of the meat. Really, Thanksgiving is famous for serving turkey with cranberry sauce. And fish always seems to be served with lemon. There's more than I realized!
Chicken goes well with most fruits. Apparently duck goes really well with berries and cherries. I'll have to try some of that sometime. Citrus fruits are usually a safe bet with most meats, because it's not only sweet, but it adds a tang. The Asian food we love from our restaurants often serves orange or lemon chicken/pork/beef. I've even had a strawberry chicken once that was amazing, but it wasn't as good as the tangerine beef I had at the same restaurant. Pineapple and peppers are common in a lot of sweet n sour recipes. Beef in itself is a little harder to pair with fruit though. I've had beef with Yorkshire pudding, but it's not your typical pudding, there's nothing sweet about it. Doing some research, I've found that spiced or curried fruits go well, or dried fruits like apricots and pears. In the case of beef, tomatoes might just be the fruit to pick.
I have all of this information about pairing fruits with meats, but I never got down to why we put an apple in a pigs mouth. In case you're curious, I'll tell you what I've found. It used to be a tradition to put the apple in the pigs' mouth to allow any gasses to escape from it as it roasted. As it turns out, that's not really necessary. Now days people will roast the pig with a ball of foil in the mouth and before serving it, switch out the foil for the apple, mostly for aesthetic purposes. A pig snout isn't the prettiest thing to look at, especially if the pig is laying on the platter with a closed mouth apparently. So cook it with the mouth open, put in your apple, and don't touch the snout. Another theory is that the apple in the pigs' mouth is symbolic. During fall harvest, apples would be used to fatten the pigs up before eating them. When the pig is killed and served, it is served with the very food that gave it life (and fat). It's a whole circle-of-life deal.
Have I missed anything? Anybody know why cranberries are served with turkey? Lastly, if you like a certain fruit with your beef, please tell me!

Q: Sell which duplicate weapon I have 2 Vectis. One of them has a catalyst. How do I tell which one, so I can sell the other one?
I can only identify them by equiping each and then going to the upgrade menu.  I don't see a way to sell/mark/rename or otherwise distinguish them, so that when I go to the inventory screen I know which one to sell.

A: Well this is a crutch method, but - you can install a Forma in the one you want to leave for yourself. That will drop its level to 0 (and also show up in the right top corner of the icon), and you will clearly see which is which.
Other than that, I would advise writing a suggestion to developers to introduce displaying installed upgrades in the inventory, as it seems to be an obvious oversight.

What the science says about the black mold and mold rash that plagued a New York City neighborhood
published on September 15, 2021byAuthor admin Comments Off on What the science says about the black mold and mold rash that plagued a New York City neighborhood
By Polygon Staff A black mold outbreak has led to a rash of cases of mold in the neighborhood of Astoria.
The black mold has been present in the area since at least February, when it was discovered in a vacant lot near an apartment building, according to a public health alert issued Thursday by New York's Department of Health.
The Department of Public Health says the mold was detected in an area of Astorian, which is a section of Astor Place in Queens, and the city has begun a quarantine of residents.
The outbreak, which has affected several neighborhoods, has led some residents to contact their doctors for testing.
Athoria resident Eric Nallor told ABC 7 that when he arrived at his home Thursday morning he noticed a lot of mold, and when he went to his neighbor's place, he noticed mold on the floor.
Nallon said the mold outbreak affected several families, and he is asking anyone who has symptoms to contact the Department of Environmental Health.
Nallor said he doesn't know if the mold is related to a mold outbreak, but he believes it is related.
He said he believes the mold may have arrived through the garbage, but is not sure how.NALLOR said he did not notice any other mold at his house.
A New York State Department of Conservation and Recreation spokesperson said that while it's unclear why the black molds are in the Astorian neighborhood, it could be a case of environmental contamination.
"This mold has not been detected in the city prior to the outbreak and we believe it may have come from a trash dumpster or other sources," the spokesperson said in a statement.
"While we are working to confirm this, we strongly urge anyone experiencing symptoms to get tested for mold.
Anyone who has been in contact with mold should wash it off."
The CDC has opened an investigation into the outbreak, and has asked residents to report any new cases to their local health department.
The department has also posted an advisory about mold and is working to identify people who have been affected by the outbreak.
"I'm a little shaken right now," said Astorian resident Jai-Nan Huang, who has experienced symptoms of the mold.
"I'm kind of on edge about it.
But I can tell you this is something we should really worry about.
We're in a place where we're supposed to be safe and it's kind of scary right now."
Huang told ABC News she and her husband are working through the mold and have begun to remove the mold from the apartment.
"It's not something we can control.
But it's something we're working on," Huang said.
"We have to be careful not to put out anything else."
The Department of Ecology, which regulates the state's landfills, has been notified about the outbreak of mold.
A spokesperson for the department told ABC that it's working with the state to identify areas in which mold may be present and to identify any residents who may have experienced symptoms.
The Department said it will also be providing assistance to residents and families who may need to relocate due to the mold outbreaks.

Boy-Band Bust
By Geoffrey Gray
Lou Pearlman was bragging about taking his boy-band empire public only one month ago, one of his New York investors says. But that's not happening. Pearlman—or Papa Lou, as the scandal-prone Queens-born manager was known to members of his teen-pop sensations 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys—had his Orlando headquarters seized by a court-appointed receiver this month. The authorities say that over 1,400 investor accounts (many from retirees) have been lost via Pearlman's massive Ponzi scheme, which used falsified FDIC documents to lure investors. Missing so far: $317 million and counting. "A lot of it is New York money," says receiver Gerard McHale, "especially the significant investments."
A first cousin to Art Garfunkel, Pearlman claimed to run an air-charter company, blimp-rental service, and the NYPD Pizza franchise, among other ventures. He's been sued by many of his artists ("I was being monetarily raped by a Svengali," Justin Timberlake once crooned) and recently claimed he was cooperating with authorities. Then, he disappeared. In a February 4 letter to the Orlando Sentinel, Pearlman claimed to be on tour in Germany with his latest teen-pop group, US5, but declined to address the claims of fraud. "I'm an optimist," he wrote. "I've spent my life discovering people with underdeveloped talent and turning them into international superstars. Rebuilding and making things better is what I do, and rest assured, better days lie ahead."
Tell that to Harry Robinson, who owns a heating-and-air-conditioning outfit in New Jersey. Last year, as the authorities were quietly investigating, Robinson says he invested $400,000 with Pearlman's companies. Now he has to sell his car, and maybe his house too. All he has left from Pearlman is an autographed copy of his book, Bands, Brands and Billions: My Top Ten Rules for Success in Any Business. "I'm finished," he says.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING INSIGHTS DEFENSE CONTRACTING
Pentagon Updating Cybersecurity Guidance
By Ryan Burnette, Susan Cassidy and Samantha L. Clark
Photo: iStock
In December, the Defense Department released a new draft of its Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, or CMMC, an important guide for contractors.
Given the expected release of Version 1.0 of the CMMC framework in late January 2020, it is likely that the requirements in this draft will closely resemble those that will serve as the basis for the first contractor audits.
The two most significant updates are the addition of "practices" for obtaining Level 4 and 5 certifications, and an expansion of the "clarifications" section, which now covers the requirements of Levels 2 and 3 of the model, in addition to Level 1.
It retains the matrix format that we have seen in prior versions, composed of "domains," "capabilities," "practices" and "processes."
Each domain consists of multiple capabilities, and each capability consists of multiple practices. Capabilities are general achievements to ensure cybersecurity objectives are met within each domain. Practices more specifically outline the technical requirements necessary to achieve compliance with a given capability, while processes measure how well practices have been implemented across a contractor's business.
Version 0.7 now contains what we expect to be a near-final set of practices necessary for obtaining Level 4 and 5 certifications, and relegates all processes to a much-simplified table that is intended to apply across all domains.
The requirements in Levels 4 and 5 are greatly consolidated. However, they still represent a significant set of compliance obligations that contractors must follow in order to perform work on contracts designated at either of these two certification levels.
Level 4 now incorporates 13 controls set forth in the draft NIST SP 800-171B, and Level 5 certification includes requirements for an additional five controls from draft NIST SP 800-171B.
Levels 4 and 5 continue the practice of including multiple controls for certain practices, thereby increasing the possibility of conflicting guidance. Moreover, standards that are pulled from NIST SP 800-171B in some cases appear to have been incorporated into the CMMC on a modified or a partial basis. For this reason, even those contractors that have implemented sophisticated cybersecurity controls in line with the standards set forth in NIST publications should closely review how these requirements and others have been described in the CMMC to ensure that they will be compliant with all applicable practices at the time that they undergo an audit.
Perhaps the most helpful update for contractors is the inclusion of new clarification sections for Level 2 and 3 practices, in addition to new clarifications of processes. These sections include brief discussions of the requirements, clarifications to further explain Defense Department expectations, and in some cases, examples that describe scenarios where compliance is appropriately demonstrated within an organization.
The inclusion of clarifications for Level 3 in this draft is an unexpected but welcome addition.
We expect that these clarifications will be vital to understanding and interpreting the very brief and limited descriptions of practices and processes that are set forth in the matrix itself. Indeed, one of the new process clarifications applicable to process maturity Level 2 describes minimum elements that policy statements from a contractor's senior management should contain to appropriately document security requirements that are applicable to the network. Contractors should be mindful to read the CMMC as a whole to ensure they do not encounter unexpected issues during their third-party audits.
Thus far, the Defense Department has adopted a regular cadence for updating and revising the CMMC. Although we would expect to see more additions to the model in the future — potentially including an expansion of the clarification section to cover the newly added Level 4 and 5 requirements — the model is nearing a ready-to-release format.
As of press time, it appears likely that the department will meet its January 2020 release date target for Version 1.0.
Contractors should continue to take steps to implement all requirements, as implementation may represent a significant effort, requiring input not just from an organization's information technology and legal departments, but from an organization's senior management.
The Pentagon has expressed a desire to revise the model on a continuous basis to rapidly address new and evolving threats. Thus, any contractors that are left playing catch up at the time that the department begins including certification requirements in its request for proposals in fall 2020 will have a difficult time staying ahead of the curve as the model continues to evolve.
A number of questions persist, including: how the Defense Department and its auditors will handle the immediate influx of contractors requiring certifications; the specific criteria for determining the certification level necessary to perform a contract; how the department and its accreditation body will ensure consistency of third-party audits; and how it will address the impact on commercial item and small business contractors, which ordinarily do not obtain significant cost recovery under reimbursable contracts with the government. Industry should stay well-informed of further developments in this area.

It will be a homecoming of sorts for Adam Bighill.
The veteran linebacker makes his first regular-season appearance at B.C. Place Stadium on Saturday since 2016 when he was with the Lions. But the five-foot-10, 230-pound Bighill is now a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, signing with them in May shortly after being released by the NFL's New Orleans Saints.
Bighill has already made a major impact against his former team. He had six tackles and two interceptions — returning one 55 yards for a touchdown — in Winnipeg's 41-19 home win over B.C. last weekend, earning one of the CFL's top performer nods Tuesday.
"I wouldn't say I spend a lot of time thinking about (return to B.C.) but I've definitely had it in my mind," Bighill said. "At the end of the day it's not a big deal but it's a lot easier (after facing Lions last week).
Bighill, 29, enjoyed a productive tenure in B.C. (2011-16). The CFL's top defensive player in 2015, Bighill registered 489 defensive tackles, 69 special-teams tackles, 33 sacks, eight interceptions, eight forced fumbles and a defensive touchdown with the Lions.
Bighill has picked up with Winnipeg where he left off in 2016 with 27 tackles, second only to Montreal's Chris Ackie (30).
"It's been like riding a bike," Bighill said of his CFL return. "The toughest part was coming in and getting the terminology down.
But Bighill expects to face a determined B.C. squad Saturday night. And that could also include a different quarterback in the form of veteran Travis Lulay, who led the Lions to the 2011 Grey Cup title after being named the CFL's outstanding player.
While Bighill anchored a solid defensive performance last weekend — B.C. had just 280 net offensive yards — the Bombers were also buoyed by the return of starter Matt Nichols. The 31-year-old was 16-of-29 passing for 162 yards and a TD after missing Winnipeg's first three games due to a knee injury suffered in training camp.
Rookie Chris Streveler posted a 62.6 completion average for 615 yards with six TDs and two interceptions in Nichols' absence. Streveler's quick development gives Winnipeg a solid 1-2 quarterback punch, a crucial element for success in the CFL.
"Chris Streveler did some great things but Matt is a proven veteran in this league who's shown he knows how to win," Bighill said. "You could see what the offence did in terms of moving the ball and yardage and all that stuff.
Although he signed a one-year deal with Winnipeg, Bighill doesn't have aspirations to return to the NFL.
"I think it is something I'm kind of done with," he said. "I went down there and did some really great things and proved to myself at least that I can play in that league.
But Bighill said being with the Saints gave him something to add to his CFL repertoire.
Bighill has enjoyed a seamless transition in Winnipeg, which he credits to the club's front office, coaching staff and his new teammates. Last year, the Bombers were second in the West Division with a 12-6 record and Bighill said consistency is key for the club in 2018.
"It's all about being consistent and doing your job every play," he said. "We're never going to be perfect … but we (Bombers defence) have played some good games, we've challenged offences very well.

The Midnight Train To Georgia Has Left The Station
Posted by Warm Southern Breeze on Saturday, February 6, 2021
The Number 1 smash hit popularized by Atlanta, Georgia-based family band of Gladys Knight and the Pips in October 1973 was the work of a native Mississippian from Pontotoc named Jim Weatherly.
His family reported that Jim died recently at his residence in Brentwood, Tennessee, a tony suburb of Nashville, of natural causes, aged 77.
Weatherly wrote two additional tunes that became hits for Gladys Knight and the Pips: "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)" and "Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me" – which was originally recorded by country singer Ray Price.
A star quarterback for the University of Mississippi, aka "Ole Miss," in the 1960s, after graduation, Weatherly, who had already formed a band with some classmates, moved to Nashville where he hoped to find his fortune. Nashville, however, long known as a very cliquish town musically, rejected him. So he and his band moved to the Los Angeles area where he became a songwriter in that area's then-hot music scene. It was a "training ground" for many musicians who later became immensely popular, super-star caliber artists, including Glen Campbell, Jackson Browne, Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Brian Wilson, Beck, and many others who populated the Laurel Canyon area – a mountainous canyon region in LA's Hollywood Hills West district, in the Santa Monica Mountains.
Although Laurel Canyon is a rocky, arid, and largely agriculturally inhospitable area, it was fertile ground for artists like Joni Mitchell, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, The Byrds, Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison, Buffalo Springfield, Love, Michelle and John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas, Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, J. D. Souther, Judee Sill, Carole King, the Eagles, Richie Furay (of Buffalo Springfield and Poco) and many, many more, almost too numerous to mention.
But, lesser known is the backstory of Jim Weatherly's first hit song for Gladys Knight and the Pips.
After his college football days ended, Weatherly worked in Los Angeles as a songwriter.
During his off-time in LA he often played flag football with other creative types who had athletic backgrounds – among them, Lee Majors, who himself was a former college football player and was then starring in The Big Valley as Heath Barkley, alongside the lead and central character Victoria Barkley, played by renown actress Barbara Stanwyck. The Big Valley was a unique western television serial whose central character was a woman (Stanwyck), who had taken Heath as her own, though he was the illegitimate son of her character's late husband Thomas Barkley, following his death.
Jim Weatherly was inducted to the Songwriters Hall of Fame at their 45th Annual Induction and Awards ceremony at the Marriott Marquis Theater on June 12, 2014 in New York City.
The Big Valley was a loose adaptation of a true story of the Barkleys, one of the wealthiest families in the Stockton, California area from 1855 until around 1931. While many western-themed shows of the day featured men as the central character – such as Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Bonanza, and The Lone Ranger –The Big Valley was one that went against the grain and proved that women could be the lead character for that genre. The series had a steady fan base, and enjoyed a very strong run on ABC from 1965 until 1969.
Majors later went on to enjoy renown in "The Six Million Dollar Man," as a "bionic" man – an astronaut/pilot for an American spy agency whose legs and arm were missing or mangled following a disastrous explosion, and were "rebuilt" using a then-new technology, which gave him superhuman strength, and enabled him to run at speeds up to 60mph.
At the time, Majors had a love interest named Farrah Fawcett, who later become his wife, and one of the original "super models," who for a period of time, enjoyed additional renown as an actress on Charlie's Angels, a television serial which ran from 1976-1981 starring Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, and David Doyle, which story circulated around a trio of female private investigators who worked for a wealthy, mostly-anonymous agency owner named "Charlie."
One day, Jim had called Lee's house, and Farrah answered the phone. Jim asked about Lee's whereabouts, and in the ensuing conversation, Farrah told Jim that she was going to take a so-called "red eye flight," which she called a "midnight plane to Houston," to visit some of her family there.
Jim then wrote the song, and first recorded it entitled as "Midnight Plane to Houston," for rockabilly-singer-turned-record-producer Jimmy Bowen and his company Amos Records, and a version of the song later appeared on Weatherly's self-titled 1972 debut for RCA Victor.
Jim Weatherly and Dorothy Moore of Jackson, Mississippi perform in 1979 at a benefit for North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. Weatherly, a former Ole Miss quarterback on two SEC championship teams, is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
In the mean time, Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, first recorded the song and at the request of Sonny Limbo, her Atlanta-based producer, made a few minor changes to the lyrics, most notably as changing plane to train, and Houston to Georgia, and recorded the song as "Midnight Train to Georgia."
In 2013, Cissy Houston told the Wall Street Journal that, "When Sonny played me Jim's song, I loved it right away. It was a country ballad that told a good story–about two people in love. But I wanted to change the title. My people are originally from Georgia and they didn't take planes to Houston or anywhere else. They took trains. We recorded the single in Memphis in 1972 with a country-gospel thing going, and I arranged the background singers. But Janus, my label, didn't do much to promote it and we moved on."
About a year later, Gladys Knight and the Pips chose to perform another one of Weatherly's tunes – "Neither One of Us (Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)" – which became a soul chart-topper for them in 1972.
Gladys also spoke with the Wall Street Journal and shared some detail on how she and her Pips came to sing "Midnight Train to Georgia," saying that, "I listened to Cissy's version and loved it – but I knew I wanted to do something different. I wanted an Al Green thing, you know, something moody with a little ride to it. I've always liked my tracks full – horns, keyboards and other instruments – to create texture and spark something in me. I also wanted to change a few of Jim's original lyrics – add a word or two and take out a few. So I'd call him every day. I'd say, 'Hey Jim, what do you think of 'So he's leaving a life he's come to know?' instead of 'we've come to know?' Jim was cool with everything. He allowed us that freedom."
The song's lyrics about living in two worlds were especially poignant for Gladys on a personal level, and she also shared that story of why, and how, her experiences through that song, helped catapult her and the group to fame.
"While recording that single, I was thinking about my own situation. My husband at the time was a beautiful saxophonist and so gifted. But he was unhappy that we didn't have a more traditional marriage because I was often on the road or recording. Ultimately it all proved too much for him, like the song said, and we divorced later, in '73. I was going through the exact same thing that I was singing about when recording – which is probably why it sounds so personal."
It was the second single she and the group cut after leaving Motown Records for Buddah Records, and it topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart, won a Grammy award for Best R&B Vocal Performance By A Duo, Group, Or Chorus in 1974, and earned her a spot in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Hundreds of artists have covered Jim's songs, among the most notable are:
Dionne Warwick, Vince Gill, Tanya Tucker, Mac Davis, Marie Osmond, B.J. Thomas, Andy Williams, Eddy Arnold, Lynn Anderson, Joan Osborne, Neil Diamond, The Temptations, Trisha Yearwood, The Oak Ridge Boys, Hall & Oates, The Spinners, Reba McEntire, Dean Martin, Ray Charles, Johnny Lee, Peter Cetera, Lee Greenwood, Brenda Lee, Aretha Franklin, Steve Wariner, Kenny Chesney, Julie Andrews, Dottie West, Bobby Goldsboro, Garth Brooks, The Indigo Girls, Johnny Mathis, Dan Seals, the Rev. James Cleveland, Peggy Lee and Widespread Panic.
Some of Jim's songs which were covered by other artists include "Where Shadows Never Fall" by Glen Campbell, "Where Do I Put Her Memory" by Charley Pride, "Until Forever's Gone" by Kenny Rogers, "If I Didn't Have You In My World" by Vince Gill, and many more.
Jim's biggest solo hit was "I'll Still Love You" in 1974, the same year he was named ASCAP's Songwriter of the Year.
Over his career, he recorded at least a dozen albums, and eventually moved to Nashville in the 1980's, where he was later inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006, and the national Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2014.
In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine named "Midnight Train to Georgia" as one of the top 500 songs of all time.
And it was that solitary tune which solidified Gladys Knight's place in popular music history, which was later covered by artists such as Aretha Franklin, the Indigo Girls, Neil Diamond, Garth Brooks, and many more.
Jim Weatherly's list of songs which became Number 1 hits is impressive, and it all started with a Midnight Train from Georgia.

Philippine capital braces for traffic nightmare 17 февраля 2014, 15:32
Residents of the Philippine capital got the first taste Monday of a traffic nightmare that will likely worsen and drag on for four years.

Residents of the Philippine capital got the first taste Monday of a traffic nightmare that will likely worsen and drag on for four years, AFP reports according to the city officials. Several lanes of Metropolitan Manila's main highways will be closed starting Monday night as part of a series of road construction and upgrading projects for the city of about 12 million, the officials said. "We are informing the general public to brace for the traffic situation which we will be encountering for the next four years," said Francisco Manalo, executive director of the capital's traffic office, as angry commuters took to social media to vent their frustrations. Manalo warned that once construction began, vehicles on the city's main roads would literally be reduced to crawling speed of one to nine kilometres (0.6 to 5.6 miles) an hour, compared to the already slow normal 20 kilometres per hour. Motorists and commuters fearful of getting stuck on the roads left home earlier than usual Monday. But with so many vehicles on the road as the day began, traffic in and around Manila was snarled for hours Monday morning. "Traffic armageddon begins in Manila!!," tweeted San Crisselle Tiu, while Chay1007 said she had to bring "extra (supply) of patience". Once actual construction begins, it could take a vehicle at least two hours to travel the 19-kilometre stretch down the city's main thoroughfare, warned Vicente Lizada, spokesman for the Metro Manila Development Authority traffic monitoring office. The authority has asked contractors to provide staff to help direct traffic. Manalo said they are also looking at alternatives such as using the Pasig River for commuter traffic even though the last river ferry closed down in 2011 due to low income.

Q: StreamWriter не записывает данные в файл Есть следующий код:
catch (FbException e)
{
    using (var writer = new StreamWriter(new FileStream(
           Path.Combine(HttpRuntime.BinDirectory,"log.txt"), FileMode.Create)))
    {
         writer.WriteLine(e.Message);
         writer.Flush();
    }
}

Почему-то это код только создает файл, но ничего не записывает туда. Бывали случаи, когда код отрабатывал нормально.

A: Может вам надо использовать File.AppendText? Не забудьте обернуть вызов в lock, если код многопоточный.
public sealed class MyClass {
    private static readonly object _writeSync = new object();

    public void LogToFile (Exception ex) {
        let logName = GetLogName();

        lock (_writeSync) {
            File.AppendText(logName, ex);
        }
    }
}

Так же рекомендовал бы не изобретать велосипед и воспользоваться стандартным решением для логирования - NLog, к примеру.


Yahoo! announced today that consumers can go to Yahoo! Maps and click the "Send to Phone" link on the driving directions page to send the full, step-by-step directions directly to their phone.
After sending the driving directions to their phone, consumers receive a message with a link taking them directly to the full turn-by-turn driving directions. This new functionally builds on the successful implementation of the "Send to Phone" feature in Yahoo! Local for contact information and addresses for local businesses, as well as the launch of Yahoo! Search for Mobile across several major U.S. carriers late last year.
This new service is available across most major wireless carriers - Cingular/AT&T Wireless, Sprint/Nextel and T-Mobile, at no charge for consumers. However, carriers may charge fees based on consumers' data plans. More info on how the service works is here.
It will be interesting to se if they ever are able to get this working on Verizon.
Naw, VZW is more likely to strike up an exclusive deal with Yahoo to get it onto their phones at a staggeringly expensive "VDirections" or some such nonsense. VZW are getting greedier by the day, especially in regards to anything data-related on their network. I mean, have you SEEN the VCAST prices? *GAG*!
Must have a couple of bugs in the works yet.
Without WAP service, this is useless. Even with WAP service, I can't "click" the URL to open a web browser on my phone. I don't understand how hard it is to send the directions as a text message (or a series of messages).
New method to send directions via sms.

Town Council helping Alnmouth to a Clean Sweep
Alnwick Town Council have had their first request to loan some of their Town Clean-Up equipment from Alnmouth Parish Council for their town tidy-up on Friday 28th June.
The equipment was purchased using the £4,500 High Street Community Clean-Up Fund given to the Town Council by Northumberland County Council. The Town Council have purchased a range of equipment: Litter Picking equipment including children's litter picking kits; brooms, wheelbarrows & shovels and gardening tools including hoes, shears and racks.
Deputy Mayor, Councillor Geoff Watson handing over clean-up equipment to Donald Blythe on behalf of Alnmouth Parish Council.
Deputy Mayor Geoff Watson said "we are very grateful to Northumberland County Council for the funding which has enabled us to purchase the equipment. It's pleasing to see that other people are as interested in keeping their town clean and we are happy to loan the equipment to Alnmouth Parish Council".
He continued "Alnwick Town Council itself will be holding its next town clean-up day on Sunday July 14th so the equipment will get plenty of use".
The Town Council has agreed to loan the equipment to other local Parish Councils and organisations to help them with any clean-up events they hold and anyone interested in borrowing equipment should contact the Town Council on 01665 602574 or alnwicktownclerk@btconnect.com

Alnwick Forum Update Event
Alnwick Flyer Update Event
Council Round Up – February 2019
Update from NEED Ltd
Charlotte Wilson, Finance Director from North East Equality & Diversity Ltd (NEED) updated the Council on their activities. She reminded councillors that the charity had started in 2002 becoming NEED in 2010 with the aim of offering accessible cost effective transport.
At present they had 27 minibuses around Northumberland including Alnwick which operated a number of contracts including a home to school contract for Northumberland County Council, a dialysis and patient transport for North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) and secure transport for the NHS. They also operate 3 dial a ride schemes, two in Alnwick and one in Morpeth.
In addition, they offer a 'need a car scheme' where pool cars are used to take people to medical appointments and social events. The scheme had proved very popular with 650 people using it in 2018 and 72 in January 2019.
Charlotte reported that NEED are buying the old fire station on South Road with some of the building being used by NEED and some accommodating some 8 small business start-up units. There will also be a meeting room on site with white board and wi-fi which people can make use of.
Charlotte then told councillors about the training that NEED offer. They offer Minibus Drivers (MiDAS) courses; Emergency First Aid; Drivers Certificate in Professional Competence (CPC); Managing Violence and Aggression and Basic Risk Assessment. In addition NEED are working in a consortium with CP Training from Carlisle to offer the additional training in Alnwick that all minibus drivers now need.
Bill Grimsey's Presentation
Tim Kirton the Project & Funding Officer gave feedback on the Bill Grimsey's recent presentation to the Business Forum. He outlined that the event was well received and attended, with over 70 people present. Mr Kirton summarised the presentation and highlighted that amongst many likely changes ahead, Mr Grimsey warned that the smart-phone will, over the next few years, replace the car in shaping town centres and that all stakeholders need to collaborate to diversify their town centres away from traditional retail. Mr Grimsey also suggested town centres needed to become community hubs offering a unique experience to visitors and residents alike. The Town Council agreed will finalise its response to Mr Grimsey's presentation over the next few weeks.
Narrowgate Pedestrianisation
The Town Council agreed, subject to further consultation with individual businesses, to support the County Council proposals for a trial pedestrianisation scheme in Narrowgate. The trial could be in place for the summer and follows public consultation in November when the overwhelming choice of residents was for a pedestrianisation scheme.
Lindisfarne Sports Centre
Town Clerk Bill Batey updated councillors on the recent public meeting about the Lindisfarne Sports Centre which was organized by the Alnwick Forum, and on the current information available on the building. The Council agreed to organise and chair a working group of users to look at future use, including possible new activities.
The Council approved the draft accounts for the Mechanics Institute for 2018/19. The Accounts showed a surplus of just over £6,000 for the year. It was agreed that this surplus will be reinvested back into the building over the next 12 months, with planned works including kitchen improvements and external repairs.

Council Round Up – January 2019
2019/20 Budget Approved
Councillors approved a budget and Town Council precept of £306,585 for 2019/20. For a Band D dwelling this will equates to an annual increase of £4.62 (8.9p per week) and will be a 4.4% increase. The new Alnwick Band D town council precept is likely to be £109.91 per annum. The 2019/20 budget will include an increased budget to assist town events (increased by £4,145) and an additional £5,000 for grants to local organisations. £3,500 is also budgeted for the painting of Town Centre lighting columns and funding is provided for an additional part-time operative.
Bill Grimsey to visit Alnwick
The Town Council's Projects and Funding Officer, Tim Kirton, informed Councillors that there would be a special meeting of the Business Forum on the afternoon of Wednesday 13th February which would be attended by the nationally renowned retail analyst Bill Grimsey, author of The Grimsey Reports of 2013 and 2018. Mr. Grimsey would tour the town and then present to the Forum on his vision for what town centres and High Streets must do to increase their viability and ensure their survival in the future.
Update from Alnwick Police
Sergeant Sharon Wilmore-Greaves from Northumbria Police gave the Town Council an update on police matters. She reported that there had been a slight increase in the number of overall offences across Northumbria from 2017/18 to 2018/19 but that in the Alnwick area overall crimes had dropped by 2%.
Sergeant Wilmore-Greaves confirmed that in Alnwick the number of burglaries and drunk and disorderly offences had increased before Christmas but anti-social behaviour offences were down. She advised that several police operations had been put in place in the run up to Christmas, one of which was a focus on theft from small businesses and shops.
When asked about the town CCTV system, which has installed by the Town Council, Sergeant Wilmore-Greaves commented "the CCTV system has been helpful providing evidence in a number of convictions including assaults". She went on the say "the local police worked with the Town Council to ensure that the cameras were placed at the most useful locations around the town. We have been working together to adjust the locations and angles of the cameras since they were installed, to ensure that they give the best coverage". The Town Council will shortly be adding two number plate recognition cameras to the town system, this will further help the police in their investigations.
Sergeant Wilmore-Greaves reported that, in the run up to Christmas, there had also been an evening operation run in conjunction with Trading Standards which had targeted underage drinking. She informed councillors that underage drinking had only been found in one out of the ten locations visited.
Alnwick Bike Track
Councillors received an update report on the Alnwick Bike Track and also heard from Ian McCrae from Gallery Youth about their outreach work at the facility. Councillors agreed to place £10,000 into a fund for future repairs and maintenance and then committed the Council to undertake the necessary works for the next 3 years, and then reviewing the situation. It was a requirement of the grant funding received from Sport England that a fund be established for future repairs and maintenance. The Council were granted a 20 year lease for the site by Northumberland Estates, in 2016.
Ritchie Waddell
Councillors held a minutes silence and paid their respects to former Town Councillor Ritchie Waddell who died recently. Ritchie was a former town Mayor who retired as a councillor in 2013 and had served Alnwick Councils for 51 years.
Council Round Up – December 2018
Civic Carol Service Success
Town Mayor, Alan Symmonds thanked everyone who attended the Civic Carol service on 12th December at St Michaels Church and in particular he highlighted the contributions by the Bailiffgate Singers, St Paul's School Choir and the readers from North Northumberland Hospice Care. Councillor Symmonds was delighted that the collection had raised £423.42 for Hospice Care.
Vacant Town Centre Businesses Update
Councillors received a report from the Tim Kirton, Projects and Funding Officer and heard that there has been a net slight rise in town centre business premises vacancies – but that further occupancies might nullify this early in the new year.
Since the first survey of vacant town centre business properties undertaken in July, 9 premises had been vacated but 6 of those 9 had been quickly re-let whilst another building vacated two years ago is currently being converted for re-use. The net reduction in occupancy is 2 business units. However, property landlords have advised that a further two or even three units are expected to be occupied early in 2019.
Mr Kirton reported: "The turnover of town centre premises appears to be quite fluid and landlords have reported much interest in vacant units so there is a good degree of buoyancy there. The Town Council is working closely with agents to help them find occupants of vacant units as quickly as possible.
Council aim to be Carbon Neutral
A motion on the Council's response to Climate Change was debated and it was resolved that 'Alnwick Town Council aims to become carbon neutral by 2031′.
All the Councillors who spoke in the debate acknowledged the seriousness of the current situation and that Alnwick Town Council should play its part in decarbonising both its own activities and take a leadership role within the town to encourage and enable our community to seek ways to do likewise. The detail of how this process is to be conducted is to be worked out by Councillors in the coming months. For the Council this will most likely involve a carbon audit and the setting of interim targets for emissions for the coming years.
Councillor Martin Swinbank speaking after the meeting stated "Climate Change will affect everyone across the world and the people of Alnwick are no exception. I am pleased that the Council has adopted this ambitious statement of intent, to show the way in reducing carbon emissions down to net zero."
"Climate Change is a huge challenge but at the same time a huge opportunity. I believe that the town council will find the way to reduce its carbon emissions to net zero in line with the timeframe of the Neighbourhood Plan. Crucially though, by raising its own ambition it can serve as a catalyst for the community to do likewise and this will improve the lives of everyone in our town. The benefits for our health, through greater physical activity by providing safer spaces to walk and cycle, less air pollution from transport and power generation and warmer homes and workplaces are obvious. More locally sourced, nutritious fresh food can help combat obesity and other medical conditions and good, local employment reduces the distance needed to travel for work giving us more family and leisure time. This also enables our young people to stay living in their home community. Planting more trees, soaks up carbon and enhances our local environment for people and wildlife alike. Local renewable power generation and food production will retain money in our local economy. The list goes on."
Objection against charging for events
Town Councillors were unanimous in their objection to proposed new charges by the County Council for the management of events.
Councillor George Mavin commented "Northumberland has just won the title of Best UK Holiday County of the Year for the first time and the County Council's proposed new charges would mean that they are not supporting local events which is the reason many visitors come to Northumberland".

Hello and good day! It's Mike again bringing you the choicest of base kitchen cabinet plans free of cost. Today, we will be discussing how to build a juicy face frame base kitchen cabinet carcass.
As usual with my plans, I start with discussing the must-have hardware list to avoid any confusion as you proceed with this plan.
For any given project, tools have an important role to play. These little helpful kits not only are helpful in easing the task, but they allow us to complete the projects in less time.
This is one of the major reasons I stress upon the practice of reading the entire plan, in my every article, more than once before you begin.
Please follow all the safety precautions in this article as well as the product manuals that you get when you purchase the items.
Keep your work area clean of debris or any foreign items that are not required for the project.
Always ensure you adhere to working on a clean surface and ensure you use straight boards.
Practice the habit of pre-drilling holes before doing any type of woodwork.
Keep finish nails and glues out of children's reach.
The beauty of this cabinet is it can literally be customized to any desired width. Thus you have the added advantage of working out your space requirements and adjusting it accordingly.
The max stand height acceptable for the project is 34 ½".
01. Have the plywood ripped with wide strips measuring 22 ½". You might end up with some scrap after completing this step.
This can be used as a support board as you gradually progress with the project.
If you wish to attach face frames, you can drill Pocket Holes with a ¾" measurement.
02. Have the shelves neatly cut into wide strips measuring 22 ½". This is to ensure you have sufficient plank requirements when you get to work on the bottom shelf piece.
One can also have additional shelves as well. You just need to cut the plywood boards as highlighted in step 2 with the same measurements. For fixed shelves, drill Pocket Holes measuring ¾" on the long side of the boards. You can use Pocket Hole Screws measuring 1 ¼" to have the sides attached.
If you find yourself getting confused with carcass width, it should be noted that the carcass can be ½" less in comparison to the overall width of the total cabinet dimensions.
03. Remember the leftover scrap strips that you had in step 1? You can comfortably use these scrap strips in this step to neatly square up your cabinet.
Further, you can place Pocket Holes measuring ¾" and use Pocket Hole Screws measuring 1 ¼" through them. Do not worry about these being visible, for you can have them covered in later steps.
04. You can further reuse the leftover scrap here in this step for attaching the remains to have a firm top support. Use these boards to have the base cabinet attached to the wall.
05. After completing the steps discussed above, you can proceed to build the footer measuring 1X4. It should be noted that the toe kick will be completely installed over top of the cabinet as we progress towards the end of the project.
06. Continue the project with building face frames with Pocket Hole measurements discussed above. Although one can use screws to have the grip firmly attached, you can also use a glue-nails combo to have much stronger grip, should you desire.
It should be noted that face frames are usually approximately ½" wider than the width of the carcass. This also gives you enough room when you begin to install the cabinet and to have the face frames neatly lined up to attain perfect levels.
07. Follow the steps mentioned in the following diagram to have face frames correctly placed.
08. After finishing step 7, you can proceed to have the finished gap measuring ½" as shown in the following diagram.
You need to have a gap of ½" between everything, for instance; drawers, overlay doors etc.
Post completion of the project, you can use wood fillers to cover any gaping holes that you find on the external surface. Nevertheless, one might also apply additional coats of wood fillers should one deem necessary.
Use a sand grit paper to sand the surface clean and wipe the project using a damp cloth. Check for the evenness of the surface and use wood conditioners or primers on an as-needed basis.

Turkish security forces fire on migrants, killing a child and wounding 12
Thursday 7 July 2022, by siawi3

Turkish Gendarmerie forces opened fire on a vehicle carrying migrants in the eastern city of Van on the Iranian border, killing a child and wounding 12 other immigrants. The entire political and media establishment has been relentlessly waging an anti-refugee campaign and bears political responsibility for this incident. It occurred shortly after the massacre of at least 37 migrants by security forces on the Spanish-Moroccan border.

On July 3, gendarmerie teams carrying out a road check in Van's Saray district on the Iranian border opened fire at a van that allegedly disobeyed a "stop" warning. The driver of the van fled the scene, but Gazete Duvar reported that four of the 12 wounded are in serious condition and one of the deceased was a child, aged four. According to the Van Governorate's statement, all of the wounded were lightly wounded.
In its statement, the Van Governorate said: "In order to stop the vehicle whose driver did not obey the 'stop' warning and drove towards the Gendarmerie personnel, shots were fired at the tires of the vehicle." However, photographs taken after the incident show numerous bullet marks on the rear of the vehicle.
The governorate also claimed that the death and injuries were caused by "ricocheting" bullets, alleging: "It was determined that the vehicle was used in migrant smuggling and there were 40 irregular migrants inside. Unfortunately, one migrant unfortunately lost his/her life and 12 irregular migrants were slightly injured due to ricocheting bullets."
Before that, on July 1, 35 refugees escaped from a refugee camp in the Cevdetiye district of Osmaniye, a southern city. A fascistic mob rapidly formed alongside the deployment of large numbers of gendarmerie personnel to catch them. This underscores that the anti-refugee propaganda which has long been carried out by bourgeois politicians and the media establishment has reached an extremely dangerous level.
Many recent similar incidents make clear that refugee camps in Turkey are no different from prisons. Recently, in a camp for 30,000 refugees in the southern city of Adana's Sarıçam district, a group of refugees marched to protest poor food. On June 15, hundreds of refugees protested in a refugee camp in the Kapuçam district of Kahramanmaraş. The demonstrators were dispersed by police.
These events were almost completely ignored by the bourgeois political establishment and media. For decades, the Turkish ruling class and its media have supported US-led imperialist wars and regime-change operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and beyond. Entire societies have been devastated by these criminal wars, with tens of millions of people displaced.
While millions of people from Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa try to reach Europe in the hope of finding refuge, the European Union's (EU) "Fortress Europe" policy has turned the Mediterranean into a refugee graveyard. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's government, together with Greece, has taken on the task of protecting Europe's borders from refugees.
Ankara's dirty deal with the EU to keep refugees out of Europe has turned Turkey into a massive refugee prison. According to President Erdoğan's statement in December 2021, there were around 5 million refugees in Turkey. According to a report by the Refugees Association, as of June 23, the number of Syrians in Turkey is 3,684,488.
The Erdoğan government and the entire ruling class face a deepening economic, social and political crisis amid the COVID-19 pandemic and NATO's war against Russia in Ukraine. While official annual inflation in Turkey has reached 78 percent, according to the independent Inflation Research Group (ENAG), real annual inflation has reached 175 percent. With 90 percent of the population estimated to be living below the poverty line, social inequality is wider than ever as the government pursues policies in favour of the bourgeoisie in the pandemic.
This year, as a wave of wildcat strikes by workers spreads across many industries, the political and media establishment are responding to growing social anger and working class militancy with a chauvinist anti-refugee campaign. This campaign, which aims to divide and confuse workers, turns defenceless refugees into scapegoats, while all the establishment parties commit to preventing asylum seekers from coming to Turkey and to returning refugees to their countries of origin.
Boasting that they had repatriated half a million Syrians since 2016, Erdoğan announced in May that they would send 1 million more Syrian refugees back. He said, "We are preparing a new project that will ensure the voluntary return of 1 million Syrian brothers and sisters we host in our country. We will implement this project with the support of our country and international non-governmental organizations."
The bourgeois opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and its allies, including the far-right Good Party, backed by the pseudo-left parties, have criticized the government's actions from the right. They attack the government's efforts to block the refugees as "insufficient." CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu said of Erdoğan's plan to send back one million Syrian refugees: "Come off it! There are still flows of fugitives coming from the border. We will send the rest back in two years, and we are all fed up with your fake projects."
The most prominent party in the anti-refugee campaign, however, has been the Victory Party (Zafer Partisi). Founded by Ümit Özdağ, a former Good Party member, this middle class party brands refugees as Turkey's main problem and hysterically campaigns for their deportation.
On June 27, Özdağ announced that he would visit Reyhanlı, a town in Hatay bordering Syria, to plant a land mine on the border, and pledged to plant more mines after coming to power. While Özdağ was prevented from entering the city by the Hatay Governorate, no one thought to ask where and how this fascistic politician had found a land mine.
As a result of this reactionary campaign by the entire political and media establishment, fascistic attacks against refugees in Turkey are on the rise. Three Syrian refugees were burned to death in Izmir last November, and a far-right mob raided a Syrian neighbourhood in Ankara in August. After a quarrel between Syrian refugees and Turkish citizens broke out in Adana last May, attacks were reportedly carried out on Syrians' homes; four people were injured.
These and many other attacks are a serious warning to the working class as a whole. The fascistic mobs that today, with the encouragement of the ruling class, target defenceless refugees will in the coming period target workers who go on strike or organize protests for decent wages, better social conditions, and democratic rights.
The way forward against the growing far-right and anti-refugee campaign is through the struggle for the international socialist unity of the working class, rejecting all forms of chauvinism and nationalism, and fighting against imperialist war.

"Gratefulness is the inner gesture of giving meaning to our life by receiving life as gift. The deepest meaning of any given moment lies in the fact that it is given. Gratefulness recognizes, acknowledges, and celebrates this meaning."
This quotation is by Br. David Steind-Rast, OSB, one of the most articulate evangelists for gratitude, gratefulness, thanksgiving, and all those words that convey a reaching out into the world with arms wide open.
The spontaneous joy of engaging life's nature as pure gift reminds me of the young two-year-old son of some very good friends of mine, who - years ago now - unselfconsciously brimmed over with life and mischief, climbing onto furniture and ledges with way-too-risky abandon, a smile on his face and giggles as companions, hugging people and things with the kind of joy that only children seem to be able to display with unvarnished transparency. Every moment was precious, was now, was embraced with love and palpable, infectious joy. Jesus' words, "Let the children come to me . . ." suddenly made lots of sense. Children live with raw gratitude even while being significant recipients of the generosity of others. Both are very much alive.
Gratitude seems to me to be the flip side of generosity. With generosity, we express actions and intentions of unconditional love; with gratitude we receive actions and intentions of unconditional love. The best kinds of generosity are given unasked, unexpected, and previously unknown. The best kinds of gratefulness are received unasked, unexpected, and previously unknown. The most generous people tend to be the most grateful, and vice versa. Generosity and gratefulness appear to be two vectors of love's living dynamic.
These same vectors are found in education and teachers. St. John Baptist de La Salle tells his teachers: "Thank God for the grace he has given you . . . and calling you to such a holy work of instructing children and leading them to piety." And "Thank God, who has had the goodness to employ you to procure such an important advantage for children." But this invitation to teachers to be grateful is a notion that is actually quite challenging. Our internal perspective may at timesamong other people, of course; not ourselvesrun more along the lines of "These kids should be grateful that they have me as a teacher . . . they don't appreciate all the work that I do for them, how much time I put into the classes, and what I've given up to do this job well . . . they really don't have a clue." Such thoughts are based on a transactional approach to teaching; I do this for them, and they should do that for me. The vectors finally point inward.
Of course, most veteran teachers, although unfortunately not all, sluffed off that old cloak years ago and listen to such sentiments with a wry grin on their faces. They walk into most classes with genuine and daily gratitude, because by virtue of their years of experience they have been drawn into the deep generosity of teaching with all of its concomitant joys and blessings. They know that they plant seeds and that the growth comes from elsewhere. (Cf. 1 Cor. 3:6) Most students are never seen again, and so they will never know if those seeds had ever taken root. And if my experience is any indication of the experience of others, the things that did take root may not even have been the most obvious seeds. (I still wash and dry my hands like my 3rd grade teacher did in the corner of the classroom every morning.) Diving into the kind of arms-wide-open generosity that genuine teaching calls for cannot but coat one's life with the cumulative gratitude that only steady or great love can bring, whether received or given.
Finally, teachers must step out of the way, trusting the generosity of God's movement in the lives of their students. And that is something deserving our gratitude as well. It's not all up to us. "Teaching is cooperative art similar to the nurturing that defines farming; involving watering, pruning where necessary, etc. It consists in developing a respect for mystery, a capacity for trust, and a skill in serious reflection. Through revelations and challenges, experiences and analyses, insights and application, others are led to develop habits of perception; to grind their lenses, as it were, so that the reality of God might be seen in focus and encountered in the full light of truth. Once a path for God is cleared and opened, the teacher steps aside and lets the mystery commence."4 Stepping aside is a most generous thing, and gratitude for that particular thing may be the last seed dropped into students' lives.
For a gratitude kick start, watch the Louis Schwartzberg video "Gratitude Revealed" and listen to Br. David Steindl-Rast's narration. There is no better invitation to the joy of gratefulness.

InternetNZ wants to fire two of its three (!) CEOs
Kevin Murphy, June 12, 2017, 17:11:10 (UTC), Domain Registries
InternetNZ, the .nz ccTLD operator, is proposing a radical simplification of the organization in order to stay relevant in the age of new gTLDs.
A proposal put forward late last week would see the non-profit organization fold its two subsidiaries back into the parent and consolidate management under a single CEO.
Currently, InternetNZ owns Domain Name Commission Limited (DNCL), the .nz policy oversight body, and NZRS Limited, which actually runs the registry. Each of the three entities has its own CEO.
The new proposal describes the situation like this:
Our governance and management structures are cumbersome and a lack of single point of accountability makes it difficult to progress work across the group. The size of governance groups and management resource is out of proportion to the size of the organisation and the size of the issues it is dealing with. There are 20 governors, three chief executives and around 10 senior executives for the 35 FTE [Full Time Employees] across the three organisations.
The New Zealand organization needs to streamline, according to the working group that came up with the paper, in order to more effectively compete with the influx of new TLDs, which has seen ccTLDs see slowing growth.
.nz is one of the few ccTLDs that has a direct new gTLD competitor — .kiwi.
It also wants to diversify its revenue streams outside of domain registration fees, according to the paper, with a target of NZD 1 million ($720,000) from alternate sources by 2020.
As a member-based organization, InternetNZ has put the proposal out for public comment until June 30. It will make a decision in August.

In Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients, Antibody Response Linked With Rejection
Posted on March 5, 2013 by Editor - Transplant Families
Article Date: 03 Mar 2013 – 0:00 PST
A transplanted kidney has a finite life expectancy because it often becomes the target of the recipient's immune system, which may mount antibodies that attack the organ. Because there is a critical need to extend the life of transplanted organs – especially in children, who can face two to three kidney transplants in their lifetime – researchers recently examined the role of this antibody-mediated injury in rejection and the effectiveness of medications to prevent it. Their findings are reported in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
Minnie Sarwal, MD, FRCP, PhD (California Pacific Medical Center) and her colleagues mapped the antibody immune response in 130 children who received kidney transplants through 12 different US transplant programs participating in a trial comparing complete steroid avoidance after transplantation and standard steroid therapy after transplantation. (Some patients received long-term steroids after transplantation as a treatment to potentially protect the new organ from antibody-mediated injury, while others received no steroids.) Patients were monitored for two years after transplantation.
"The development of antibodies were confirmed to injure the transplant, though the incidence of this antibody-mediated injury to the transplant was quite low at only about 6%," said Dr. Sarwal. Patients with these antibodies were more likely to experience organ injury and rejection than patients without these antibodies.
Also, steroids did not seem to provide a benefit. "There was no difference in the immune response in children who did not receive steroids, though there was a huge benefit in their growth, in lower blood pressures, and lower cholesterol levels, supporting the importance of avoiding steroids in children after transplantation wherever possible," she added.
The researchers recommend monitoring recipients for the presence of antibodies directed against transplanted organs at various stages and customizing immunosuppressive treatments to prevent rejection.

Promising signs for India's cement makers
World Cement, Thursday, 07 July 2016 10:15
India is the second largest cement producer in the world. The increase in demand for cement from housing and infrastructure could provide a boost to its production in India.
For example, NCL Industries and Heidelberg Cement plan to increase their cement production to earn more profits.
The housing sector in India is the biggest demand driver of cement. This accounts up to 67% of the total cement consumption in India. The demand for cement is expected to reach 550 – 600 million tpy by 2025.
NCL Industries has plans to boost its cement production up to 2.7 million t due to increase in demand from the construction and infrastructure sector.
Limestone reservoirs: Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have numerous limestone reserves. This drives the focus of NCL Industries towards increasing its production capacity for the southern market. It also plans to extend its production activity to other areas like Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Increase in cement plants: NCL Industries is planning to expand its cement capacity from 2 million tonnes to 2.7 million t by the end of 2016. It also plans to expand the redimix concrete business by setting up plants in Hyderabad, Vizag and Amravati. At present, the company is also working on its Wood Cement Particle Board Plant.
Government spending: Budget 2016-17 allocated Rs 7296 crore towards Urban Rejuvenation Mission – The Smart Cities project. It also allocated Rs 19 000 crore for the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) for FY17. Such large scale projects would need large tonnes of cement. Higher demand will help cement companies increase their profit. This could also be a motivating factor for cement companies to increase their production capacity.
Road ahead: One cannot ignore the fact that there is no other substitute to cement. 'In the next 10 years, India could become the main exporter of clinker and gray cement to the Middle East, Africa, and other developing nations of the world', according to BRICS India 2016 report. The report also states that cement plants in Gujarat and Visakhapatnam will have an added advantage for exports. This could result in a tough competition with other cement plants in other parts of India.

Penzion U Novaku was established by Mr. Jaroslav Novak in 1903. Its history is very rich: it served as a peaceful oasis for many people, such as T. G. Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, who played an important role in the country`s founding. But it also served average people who only wanted to spend a nice vacation in the Orlik recreational area.
Penzion U Novaku is an attractive place not only for a family vacation but also for business meetings, wedding celebrations and sport training camps.
