Squarespace is one of the most popular site builders available, it has definitely become one of the best tools to create attractive websites with a professional look.
Many business owners or even bloggers will need to add an interactive map of the United States of America to their website to showcase locations across the country or information that varies from state to state. The Interactive Maps Generator script that I developed a while back, allows you to generate a US map divided by states using the Google Geochart API.
You can embed the map on your squarespace website easily once you've built it. The script costs $16 and you can create as many maps as you want for your website. It includes not only the map for the US, but also for all other countries in the world.
Once you have the script (get it here), unzip the file and open the index.html file on your browser. Make sure you unzip the file and not open it directly from inside the zipped file, the script won't work this way. Once you have the generator working follow the onscreen instructions to create your map. The first step will be to select 'United States of America – States' in the 'Region to display' option. You should then see the US map below in the preview. Follow the onscreen instructions to build your map. To colour states, use the ISO-3166-2:US codes.
You'll be able to colour states or add markers to specific locations. If you use markers we advise you to add a Google Maps API Key in the generator. There will be options on how to get one.
Once you save these changes, you should see the map on your page. You now have a US map on your squarespace website! You can get the map generator script on Envato Market. It will work on most modern browsers, no need to install any new software.
Is there a way to just show Orange County, California and not the entire state?
It's only possible to show the entire state, sorry.
I just need the state of Oklahoma, but I need to be able to add Pin Marker points throughout the state that can show a photo and some text info (Like a hover over small pop-up) with the ability for someone to click on the pin/small pop-up and open up a new page. Is that possible?
Hi! Yes, you can display only the shape of the state of Oklahoma. You can use the display mode 'markers (coordinates)' and place markers based on coordinates. You can display a tooltip on hover that can contain HTML, so you can add images (you will need to add the html code for those images). The marker can link to a different page on the website, yes.
Hi! It should work once you publish or preview the page.

Dwarf planet fights for consideration
Sometimes reading a headline you didn't ever expect to see just brightens your entire day. You can take a breath, smile and realize everything you knew as a child is coming back, and all is right with the world.
I'm talking, of course, about the news that Pluto is no longer a dwarf planet.
To be considered a planet, three rules have to be taken into consideration: It must orbit around the sun, be spherical and be the biggest body in its orbit. Pluto met the first two, but the dwarf planet Eris cuts right through Pluto's orbit and is bigger by just 27 percent.
Upon the discovery, the International Space Union took Eris into consideration and declared Pluto a dwarf planet in 2006, when the three rules to what defines a planet were made. Now, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has decided to revisit what makes a planet.
They invited specialists Owen Gingerich, chair of the International Astronomical Union planet definition committee; Gareth Williams, associate director of the Minor Planet Center; and Dimitar Sasselov, director of the Harvard Origins of Life Initiative to explain what makes a planet.
Gingerich said, "A planet is a culturally defined word that changes over time."
Williams defended the IAU's definition of a planet, rejecting Pluto as a planet.
With a 2-1 majority in favor of Pluto, the audience was asked to vote for Pluto's planetary status by choosing which definition of a planet they thought worked best. Sasselov's definition won over the other two, and Pluto has regained the title of planet.
Of course, a "spherical lump" is not the new definition of planet, but we can welcome Pluto back with open arms.
This vote doesn't really hold much weight in the scientific community, so Pluto has not been officially renamed as a planet yet. But all of its supporters are waiting hopefully, for the first time in eight years, that it might be.
However, the debate isn't over. Principal investigator Alan Stern said the public is better suited to decide what makes a planet over astronomers.
The IAU had no ground to lay out the rules for what makes a planet and shouldn't have pretended to have the expertise to enter this debate. It's a matter for planetary scientists, not astronomers.
Growing up with Pluto as a planet and then being told as a young adult it wasn't a planet anymore didn't have too much effect on me. Of course it was a planet, who are you kidding? Every kid in this generation knows that.
Essentially, I refused to believe it, but eight years of non-planetary status can wear one down, and eventually it was accepted as fact. The hope Pluto would join us again never died, though. As of Sept. 18, Pluto once again has a fighting chance.

The house on the beach was everything we had hoped for; everyone had their own bedroom and there was a lovely meal, expertly cooked by Garnet. We were enthusiastically greeted by him and Monty. Sebastian was especially over-whelmed at seeing his dad again and having some male company at last. They spent a fair bit of that evening reallyappreciating Star Wars Lego in the way reserved mainly for those with a Y chromosome.
We were literally only a stagger from a secluded sandy beach with more shelter from the wind than we had been used to from our previous beach forays. The four of us (me, Garnet, Seb and Monty) spent time on the beach, chucking footballs and tennis balls, burying each other in sand and generally getting reacquainted.
The Grannies, who had always got on with each other before the trip, got especially close in that week – most nights they ended up sharing a bed. They spent the days at the beach chilling out and getting used to living and sleeping in their own separate spaces again.
Saturday saw Scotty Granny, myself, Seb and Garnet at the aquarium in Virginia Beach, while Funny Granny took to the boardwalk. We met up with her after we had come out of the immersion that the wonders of underwater life creates. Each aquarium has it's unique highlight and in this case it was the trail through the marsh and the otters that the trail led to. The boardwalk on Virginia Beach itself was almost as absorbing. There were pony rides, crazy 4-person cycle contraptions, lesbian wedding parties frolicking in the surf, seaside sculptures and a hoard of humanity enjoying the sunshine on miles of sandy beach in their own individual ways. We took it all in, the spectacle of beach life being satisfyingly observed with the help of huge ice-creams with tons of toppings.
The next day Garnet left us to make his way home. This time he left us with some male company in the shape of Monty. After waving goodbye the five of us set off for Colonial Williamsburg.
It was on the way to Williamsburg that we had a near miss that still makes me cringe remembering it. We were entering a tunnel that had two queues and the car in the lane next to us, plus the car behind him, didn't stop fast enough. I can still hear the huge hang and see the passenger raising her hands in the air yelling expletives at the driver. Thank goodness the driver turned their car away from us – it could have easily been the end of our trip!
Driving across the islands and inlets that make up the Virginia Beach and the Hamptons area was a visit to another world – yet another world in this country of contrasts. There are so many pretty little nooks and crannies formed by the river meeting the sea and most are enhanced by million dollar yachts and boats moored by the even-more-million-dollar houses. I can see the attraction of lazing on a yacht in the middle of the sea after all that tacking, gybing, hauling in the mainsail and hoisting the spinnaker etc – language etched indelibly in my consciousness from the days and nights on the Solent.
On arrival at Colonial Williamsburg one has to go through the visitor center. If you manage to escape through to the other side without having being persuaded to buy a bus ticket you can walk over the bridge that transports you back in time to the night before the civil war. Your walk back in time is accompanied by comments such as 'From this time on, if you are a woman you cannot vote', 'From this time on, it would take you 5 days to get to New York City', and frighteningly for the kids 'From this time on there is no TV'. You can even rent period costumes for the kids, but unfortunately Seb was not up for a smock.
This is all good and well and very organised. Unfortunately I had the dog, Seb and two Grannies. Dogs are not allowed in the visitor center, so Seb and I decided to walk round and meet the Grannies on the other side, thinking they would just appear out of the back door. Unfortunately not. On entering the building, one decided to go to the book store, and the other one the restroom. That is how they lost each other.
Seb and I waited a while before deciding to tie Monty in the shade and look for the Grannies. We searched the centre several times for signs of the grannies, but with no luck. So I approached the help desk and asked if they had seen… well what do you say? Two Grannies? Two ladies? I described them as best as I could, but the lady at the desk knew less than I did. I wanted to avoid paging them – after a week in car of 'humpfs' and 'don't call us 'The Grannies'' I was loath to ask for an announcement along the lines of 'Will the Grannies please come to the customer service desk'. So we went outside to plan our next steps. After extracting Monty from his usual crowd of admirers we were just wondering what the next step was when we heard very welcome English and Scottish accents amongst the babble of American accents. We followed the voices to find them on the phone to a worried Garnet. His reaction was: 'See what happens when I leave you'?
Colonial Williamsburg was as intriguing and as charming as ever – one of these times I will buy a pass to the houses and explore it minutely. Maybe having passes would make the guides a tad less grumpy when answering queries?
We wandered around happily taking in the sights of this beautifully restored town. CW is one of those happy places that has a huge potential to be over commercialized, but isn't. It reminds me of Norfolk villages. A big grassy section splits up the main road and the buildings either side transport you back in time – it must have been such a labor of love to restore it. Actors play the roles of the locals, decked out in the heat in layers of period costumes.
We did manage to get separated from the Grannies again, with poor Garnet back in Delaware frantically trying to connect us again. Happily we managed to follow the ooohs and 'what a lovely puppy' noises to track them and Monty down.

Herein, we demonstrate that ZnO nanowire arrays could be rationally connected with each other by thin Au nanowires to construct a novel cross-linked hetero-structure by a simple photo-directed growth strategy. Moreover, a possible formation mechanism of this Au/ZnO hierarchical nanostructure has been proposed. In the case of light irradiation, the rapid electron enrichment on the top (002) facets of ZnO nanowires will result in a high concentration of holes on the side facets, which could generate a positive electric field. As a result of the electronegativity, [Au(OH)xCl4−x]− (where x = 0–4) anions could be pulled in by this electric field and reduced on the side facets of ZnO nanowires, and the Au nanowires could be gradually formed through an exact opposite point growth route. Furthermore, the photoelectrochemical performance studies clearly reveal that these novel cross-linked hetero-arrays exhibit much higher visible light photocurrent density than both pure ZnO nanowire arrays and traditional Au nanoparticle/ZnO nanowire heterostructures, which may be primarily ascribed to the efficient electron transfer from Au nanostructures to ZnO nanowires.

The WPS Qatar is a comprehensive electronic system implemented by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and QCB to ensure that workers are paid according to their employment agreement in a timely and systematic manner. The system provides an online cloud wherein employers are required to upload their as well as their employee information or CSV files. The information provided is accessible anywhere by the employee, the employer and the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.
Does it affect me, and how?
If you operate a private company and have workers, particularly economic immigrants, you need to register your company with Wages Protection System Qatar. Such rules and regulations are put in place to curb corruption, discourage malicious intentions, and stop worker exploitation. Failure to comply with the WPS rules and regulation, employer attracts severe punishment as defined under the labor law.
WPS was first implemented by the UAE and later adopted by the rest of the Gulf countries. Qatar government, to comply with several UN human rights laws related to fair wages to the workers especially economic immigrants, introduced new wage protection system on 18 August 2015.
Firstly, register your company and the correct number of workers/employees working with you. You need to register the employee and give details of the employee on the online cloud that has been established by the Govt. All the details must be in the standards that are specified by the government. In case the employee leaves in the middle of a work agreement, the Ministry of Labour must be informed well in advance. Otherwise you have to go through the WPS cycle with no equivocations. However, you may claim your money back later on. Secondly, make sure your employees have valid working visas and bank accounts. You need to deposit the agreed upon wages and initiate transfer of money from your bank to the central bank on specified time, typically seven days before the employee pay date.
What if my company does not comply?
Non-compliance attracts penalties. Violation of the new law may lead to a jail sentence of not more than one month in prison and a fine between QR2 000 and QR 6000. Companies must ensure all workers are paid in Qatari Riyals on exactly their pay dates. The wages are to be paid monthly or annually according to the agreement.
Besides employer, there are three other parties involved which are The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, the employee and the central bank. The Ministry acts as a moderator, and the bank acts as a facilitator of workers' wages by transferring from the employer's bank to employees bank account.

Ranking 9 rumoured candidates for the job of Montreal Canadiens GM
by Dave MacIntyre
Patrick Roy, Emilie Castonguay and Mathieu Darche are among the potential replacements for Marc Bergevin who are being interviewed in Round 1.
TSN's Pierre LeBrun is reporting that the Montreal Canadiens's search for a new General Manager has begun in earnest, with the organization, now led by VP of Hockey Operations Jeff Gorton, currently interviewing "around 10 candidates."
Believe that the Habs are still in Round 1 of their GM interviews. Have interviewed most of their candidates but not quite done yet. Again, told that they're interviewing around 10 candidates in Round 1.
— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) January 11, 2022
On Nov. 28, the Canadiens fired Bergevin after nearly a decade in charge of the franchise, with Gorton joining the fold that same day. In mid-December, The Athletic reported that the Canadiens had already drawn up a list of candidates, including three women. Last Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports confirmed that at least eight candidates were being considered for interviews. Alongside Gorton, the committee looking to find the new GM — who must be bilingual and have skills that can complement Gorton's — will be owner Geoff Molson, Hamilton Bulldogs owner Michael Andlauer and former Habs captain/GM/Hall-of-Famer Bob Gainey.
While we await this group's decision on who gets handed the task of course-correcting this abysmal Habs team, here's our ranking of all nine candidates we know of so far.
1. Mathieu Darche
Habs fans likely remember Mathieu Darche as a bottom-six forward for the team in the early 2010s, and/or for his punditry on L'antichambre. But as an executive, the Saint-Laurent native has accomplished quite a lot in a short period of time. As Director of Hockey Operations with the Tampa Bay Lightning since 2019, Darche has two Stanley Cups under his belt. He's learned directly under GM Julien BriseBois, who would've been the candidate to beat for the Habs job had he been available.
While he's assisted BriseBois with various facets of GM life, Darche has more specifically been responsible for helping BriseBois manage the team's salary cap, where they expertly — if annoyingly — found ways to exploit cap loopholes (*cough* Kucherov *cough*) before the start of last year's playoffs, where the Lightning beat the Habs in the final. Regarding his potential as a GM, he's already gotten a co-sign from current Lightning head coach Jon Cooper. Given all of this, plus his pre-existing relationship with the Habs organization, Darche looks to be a strong candidate for the job.
2. Emilie Castonguay
The first of two player agents being considered for the job, Castonguay is also one of at least two women the Canadiens are interviewing. The NHLPA's first female agent, Castonguay boasts clients like Alexis Lafrenière, brothers Pierre-Olivier and Mathieu Joseph and current Hab Cédric Paquette. Castonguay also interned for the Habs while Pierre Gauthier was GM, and has degrees in both law and finance.
Clearly, she knows a thing or two about negotiating player contracts and working around the salary cap, as well as how NHL GMs operate. Should Castonguay get the gig, it will mark the first time in history that a woman has held the position of General Manager for an NHL franchise. As of now, the only female GM in North American pro sports is Kim Ng, currently with the Miami Marlins in Major League Baseball.
3. Roberto Luongo
Roberto Luongo (Ranking 9 rumoured candidates for the job of Montreal Canadiens GM)
One of the greatest goalies of the aughts and 2010s, Roberto Luongo fits the bill as a French-speaking Montrealer. He also just so happens to be pursuing a career in management. As a special assistant to Florida Panthers GM Bill Zito, Bobby Lou has helped oversee the Panthers' rise from irrelevant lottery team to a genuine playoff contender. Luongo was also supposed to be an assistant GM for Canada's men's hockey team before the NHL pulled out of this year's Olympics in Beijing, after being Canada's GM for the 2021 IIHF World Hockey Championships.
Even if he lacks management experience at the NHL level, he's being groomed for a bigger role while learning on the job in a winning environment — one where he became an elite goaltender himself. The trilingual Saint-Leonard native could very well be tempted to come home and bring what he's learned to a culture that has been steeped in mediocrity for much of three decades.
4. Danièle Sauvageau
Danièle Sauvageau (Ranking 9 rumoured candidates for the job of Montreal Canadiens GM)
Another candidate the Habs are reportedly interested in is one fans of the women's game will know very, very well. Having won a historic gold medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City as the Canadian women's head coach, Danièle Sauvageau has worn many hats since. In hockey, she's been hailed for her work as GM of the Université de Montréal's women's hockey program during the 2010s, with whom she twice won a national championship.
Sauvageau also became an assistant coach in the QMJHL in the 1999-00 season, the first and only woman to do so. In other words, she's an excellent hockey mind, and a smart cookie in general. Even if it seems like the organization might be simply trying to tick boxes when they announce a plan for greater "diversity," they could do far, far worse than Sauvageau in that department.
5. Patrick Roy
Of every candidate listed, this would be the most "high risk, high reward" hire of the bunch. He's also made his desire for the job public. Roy's reputation as a Habs goalie needs no introduction, though neither does his acrimonious split with the team that set the franchise back lightyears. He won a Jack Adams award as a rookie NHL coach with the Colorado Avalanche (where he also served as VP of Hockey Operations), only to resign two years later — and six weeks before the start of the season — for lack of input on player personnel decisions. It remains to be seen how comfortable he'd be as Gorton's subordinate, should he get the job.
So then, what—to answer Roy's own question — have the Habs got to lose? As head coach and GM of the QMJHL's Quebec Remparts, he has overseen the development of future NHLers like Nikita Kucherov, Jonathan Marchessault, Anthony Duclair, Marc-Édouard Vlasic and former Hab Alexander Radulov. However, much like Bergevin before him (and surely much to Gorton's chagrin), he's not a fan of analytics. His competitiveness, swagger and emotional nature helped make him a legendary goaltender, but these traits don't always translate well to management.
6. Daniel Brière

A former Hab as a player in the 2013–14 season that saw the team go to the Eastern Conference Final (after snubbing the team years earlier in free agency to sign with the Philadelphia Flyers for less money), Daniel Brière's name is a familiar one to fans. Having spent two years as a special assistant to the GM for the Flyers, Brière has been working for the ECHL's Maine Mariners as the team's President, GM and VP of Hockey Operations.
Though he' s been cutting his teeth for several years at the management level, Brière has yet to have a hands-on role in building a team outside of North American hockey's third tier. Even if he'd be reporting to Gorton, it stands to reason that upgrading from the ECHL to GM of the Montreal Canadiens may be a step too big, too soon for him.
7. Kent Hughes
Hughes is not only an experienced player agent, but he's someone Jeff Gorton knows very well. Representing Patrice Bergeron, Darnell Nurse and Kris Letang, among others, the Beaconsfield native has been living in the Boston area for many years, where Gorton — who drafted Hughes' son Riley while with the Rangers in 2018 — is from.
Although he has reportedly thrown cold water over his possible candidacy, his name was dropped as a possibility by Elliotte Friedman in early December. With his reputation and unique perspective as an agent, Hughes would come to the organization with a knowledge of the salary cap and pre-existing rapports with other GMs. His younger son Jack (no, not that one) is also a prospect for the upcoming 2022 Entry Draft, and one the Habs will surely target if Hughes joins the organization.
8. Marc Denis
We know what you're probably thinking. "Really?! Marc Denis from RDS?" While Denis lacks front office experience at the NHL level, his knowledge of the game is stellar based on what we've seen on TV as a colour analyst alongside RDS legend Pierre Houde. He's also worked as a goaltender coach and VP of Hockey Operations for the QMJHL's Chicoutimi Saguenéens. Clearly, he knows the game and, as a local boy, understands how much the Habs mean to the community and to Quebec as a whole. Unfortunately, all of that is still unlikely to be enough to propel him all the way to the GM's office.
9. Stéphane Quintal
Stephane Quintal
A former Habs defenceman during the '90s and early 2000s, Stephane Quintal knows the franchise well and understands the culture better than many candidates on this list. He's also spent his post-playing career climbing up the ladder in the National Hockey League itself, working as the NHL's Senior VP of Head of Player Safety from 2014 to 2016. The Boucherville native is considered a great hockey mind, and still works in the league's Player Safety department. However, Quintal's lack of managerial experience with a club will likely be a strike against him for this particular position.

Lori Harvey knows how to get the attention of her followers on social media, as the model shared two stunning photos to her Instagram recently that went viral. The stepdaughter of Steve Harvey was out shopping for Christmas gifts as she stated so in the caption of one of the pictures. I got Lori Harvey on my wishlist. I got Lori Harvey on my wish list!! It seems the year-old model was also excited about the upcoming festive days because she was dressed in all white for the occasion. In the pictures, Harvey looked extra glamorous in an elegant strapless white dress that reached her ankles. She combined her gown with a small round clutch from Chanel in the same color. For accessories, the model chose to wear a sparkly diamond necklace with two bracelets and rings, all covered in precious stones. Going Christmas shopping.. Harvey made the news recently with her turbulent love life.
Cassie has spoken. Before that post, she took to the photo-sharing platform to share two pictures of herself dressed in a revealing top. She also unfollowed all accounts but one on Instagram, being thewretch —a private account with 63 followers. Cassie, born Cassie Ventura, and her former beau P Diddy, also known as Sean "Diddy" Combs, were in an off-and-on-again relationship for more than a decade.
P. Diddy – Victory (Letra e música para ouvir) – [ / Yo the sun don't shine forever / But as long as it's here then we might aswell shine together.
Singer Cassie, fresh off split from ex Diddy, confirms she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Alex Fine Cassie ventura. Cassie and soon to be father Alex Fine have showed their excitement for their baby girl all over social media recently. Alex said, "I will be the first man in your life and will show you the greatest love and affection now and forever.

One of hip-hop's favorite couples, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Cassie Ventura, have reportedly parted ways months ago, according to People. The stars' reps haven't publicly responded to the news, but a source told the site that their breakup "was amicable and they remain friends. Diddy and Cassie reportedly first met in the early s, after she signed to his label, Bad Boy Records, People reports.

After a very rough few months for Combs, it became even more difficult for the music mogul to cope with the fact that Cassie found herself a new beau. In October , it had been revealed that Diddy and his on-and-off girlfriend of 11 years, Cassie, had reportedly called it quits for good. The couple has kept their relationship pretty under wraps over the years and reps close to the two revealed they were no longer together.
We thank you all for your prayers and support. You have no idea how much it means to us. We thank GOD for all of you. Even though Cassie and Diddy were no longer a thing, the singer still made sure she was there for her ex and his family as they tried to cope with this unexpected tragedy. An amazing mother to her beautiful family, lit up every room she entered and now the most beautiful angel.
Sending so much love and my condolences to the Porter and Combs family. The photo included a heart-emoji and Diddy even tagged Cassie to show he still loves her Cassie no longer follows Diddy on Instagram. However, Cassie posted a few photos of her getting nice and cozy with a new man to Instagram a day later. I love you Mommy.
Reports have surfaced claiming that the two are going to take some time apart to figure out what they want to do next. Is Diddy taking the situation well, though? That is hard to tell right now, as the rapper recently shared a cryptic message on his Instagram, in which he talked about happiness, and claimed that he was going to try to keep his spirits up for the sake of his health.
Beyonce was was one of the first artists he signed to Hitco and Ciara was signed after he took on duties at LaFace. Puff ran into Kim on the island. Somehow he.
Did you miss JoeBiden on breakfastclubam this morning??? Well here you go!!! Ohhh noooo! So sorry to hear this news. Diddy shut down Lizzo's twerking and fans weren't happy. Diddy is allegedly dating Lori Harvey, who is half his age, and the ex-girlfriend of his own son.
A new relationship, pregnancy, engagement and new music to top it off? Seriously, the blessings just keep rolling in. The mother-to-be recently got an epic birthday present in the form of a proposal from her boyfriend, celebrity trainer Alex Fine. As many know, Cassie was in a decade-long relationship with music mogul Diddy. The pair announced their split in October
After a very rough few months for Diddy, it became even more difficult for the the years and reps close to the two revealed they were no longer together. "Puff you are already the best father, I know you will be amazing.
If memory serves me correctly, Cassie was 20 when she first officially made her way onto the music scene as a newly-signed Bad Boy artist. I remember watching the video and being like, "She's cute. She's grown grown. But you know what? These past several months, Cassie has captured my attention in a way like never before. First, she got mad respect from me for how graciously she supported Diddy during the loss of Kim Porter— a true love of his life and the mother of three of his children although he also claims Al B.
Sure's son Quincy as one of his own too. Something else that I really esteem about Cassie after this year is the fact that, although Black Twitter has been incessantly lightin' Diddy up for missing out on a good thing being Cassie , she hasn't said much, if anything, about their relationship. Instead, she's been focused on her new life and new normal—her relationship with her man and now fiance' Alex Fine, and preparing for the entrance of their baby girl.
There is something about how Cassie's been letting her Instagram account do the talking that has come off us mature, dignified and totally self-aware. Not only that but she seems to be at peace, living in the moment and very much in love. You can see all of this resonate via the post that she shared of her engagement. Even though she turned 33 yesterday—Happy Belated Birthday, sis! If you make the time to check the video out and also scroll on her page to check out some shots of her baby bump , it's very apparent why that is the case.
Lori Harvey knows how to get the attention of her followers on social networks, since the model recently shared two stunning photos on her Instagram that went viral. Steve Harvey's stepdaughter was buying Christmas presents, as she said in the caption of one of the photos. She wrote: "Go Christmas shopping … what's on your wish list?

A property investor should always look to the future as he or she plans the next course of action, which also requires an individual to consider the aspect of death.
When mortality is tied with the legal implication of housing loan, most people would be confused on the nitty gritty.
Messrs Eunice Tan & Partners founder Eunice Tan Mui Lee answers some burning questions that shine a light to this issue.
1/ If the borrower dies, how will the bank derive money to repay the housing loan? Does it become a bad debt?
No. It will not become bad debts automatically. If the Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA) covers the housing loan, the bank will enforce the terms of MRTA and make full repayment of the remaining balance.
If this is not applicable, the next of kin or the administrator of the estate may continue to make payment. The administrator of the deceased estate or the executor of the deceased may redeem or continue to make repayment of the housing loan from the deceased estate.
It would become a bad debt when there is no repayment towards the housing loan from the estate of the deceased (also the borrower). If it becomes a bad debt, the bank will foreclose the property.
2/ If a will was not created by the deceased, what are the possible implications? What can the next of kin do to guard against any unfavourable events?
There is no major implication if a will is not created by the deceased. If there is no will, the next of kin may apply Grant of Letter of Administration in Court to protect and to administer the property.
3/ What are the legal steps that will happen if this event transpired?
If no will is created, the next of kin or the beneficiary of the deceased estate may file Originating Summons in court for an order to appoint the said person as the administrator of the deceased estate.
The court will determine whether there is any objection from the beneficiaries to appoint the applicant as administrator. If there is no objection, the court will grant the order appointing the applicant as administrator of the property.
Once the order is made, the administrator shall forward a copy of the court order to the bank for their record and continue to make repayment of the loan or otherwise to redeem the property from the Bank.
Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance or MRTA is a life insurance plan with decreasing sum assured over time, and it is used just to cover your home loan owed to the bank. This plan is usually offered by the bank you are getting the mortgage from, as it is used as protection for the bank in case of misfortunes that stop you from servicing the loan.

by Neil Franklin • News, Working lives
A new survey claims that only 15 percent of UK adults know what impostor syndrome is, although more than three-quarters (77 percent) claim to have suffered from it at some point in their lives. The survey of more than 500 UK adults was carried out by media agency UM. It suggests that office workers and those in professional services were the most likely among all those in full-time employment to suffer from impostor syndrome – behind only school and university students.

Fear of failure holds people back at work

The importance of patience in the workplace
by Antonio Argandoña • Comment, Wellbeing, Working lives
Empirical studies on patience have demonstrated the positive effects it can have on creativity, product quality, collaboration and productivity as well as the long-term sustainability of companies. Being patient means listening, observing, waiting for information to come, consulting other people and seeking relationships that provide new resources to make good decisions. Patience is good for ourselves and others. More →
Older workers will drive long term success of firms
by Neil Franklin • Business, News, Wellbeing, Working lives
Organisations that actively leverage the abilities and experience of their older workers will be best positioned for the future of work, according to Mercer's report Next Stage: Are You Age-Ready? (registration). The importance of being "age-ready" is underscored for both businesses and economies by the impact of the twin forces of a rapidly ageing labour force coupled with an uncertain global economic growth rate, the report argues.

Flexible working in the age of longevity
by Richard Morris • Comment, Property, Wellbeing, Working lives
Global life expectancy is growing at its fastest rate since the 1960s. Today, a 20-year-old has a 50 per cent chance of living to 100. Even if you are 60, you have an evens chance of reaching 90. A long life can be a gift, but of course it also has implications for how we live our lives and in particular how we plan to work and fund those extra years. Clearly there is a role for employers in creating work environments and flexible working cultures that recognise and maximise the potential of the 100-year life. More →
Governments should respond to needs of older workers
by Mark Eltringham • News, Working lives, Workplace design
While firms are already being asked to do more to support their older workers by organisations like The Centre for Ageing Better, a new OECD report is arguing that it is an issue that Governments are not addressing as well as they might. It claims that the rapidly ageing population of countries around the world means that governments should promote more and better job opportunities for older workers to protect living standards and the sustainability of public finances.
A grey tsunami, three goldfish, the red pill of coworking and some other colourful stuff

A right leaning think tank's suggestion that the UK should set a new retirement age of 75 and introduce a range of measures to extend people's working lives to boost the economy and improve people's wellbeing sparked an inevitable paroxysm of rage.

Firms need to place more value on older workers
by Claire Turner • Comment, HR, Wellbeing, Working lives
As we live longer lives, it's inevitable that more of us want to work for longer. It makes good business sense too: with fewer younger people starting work to replace those set to retire in future years, coupled with uncertainty over Brexit and labour shortages, employers can't afford to lose older workers.
Voices from the age of uncertain work
by David L Blustein • Features, Working culture, Working lives
On the surface, the wellbeing of the American worker seems rosy. Unemployment in the U.S. hovers near a 50-year low, and employers describe growing shortages of workers in a wide array of fields. But looking beyond the numbers tells a different story. My new book, "The Importance of Work in an Age of Uncertainty," reveals that some Americans are experiencing an erosion in the world of increasingly uncertain work that is hurting their wellbeing, relationships and hopes for the future.

Work is no more insecure than it was twenty years ago, claims report
by Neil Franklin • News, Wellbeing, Working culture, Working lives
Employment insecurity affects many people but, overall, work in the UK is as secure as it was 20 years ago, with limited evidence of growing casualisation, new research from the CIPD claims. The report Megatrends: Is work really becoming more insecure? finds that at 20 percent, the share of non-permanent employment in the UK – which includes the self-employed and temporary workers (including temporary zero hours contract workers) – has not increased since 1998.
Why loneliness is a workplace issue
by Nigel Oseland • Comment, Wellbeing, Working lives, Workplace design
Loneliness is increasingly recognised as a serious issue in modern society. In the UK, the Office of National Statistics reported that 5 percent of adults feel lonely 'often' or 'always', with further 16 percent of adults reporting feeling lonely 'sometimes', equivalent to approximately 9 million adults suffering from loneliness to some degree. As a consequence, the UK Government has set up the Jo Cox Commission for Loneliness, appointed Tracey Crouch as Minister for Loneliness and invested £20M for charities and community groups to help isolated people and those suffering in other ways.

Stuffed lemons with tomatoes, anchovies, basil & mozzarella is a delicious antipasto and perfect example of balancing flavors. We first tried this mouthwatering two-bite bit of heaven on the Amalfi Coast and have been recreating it ever since. Even though it is not a traditional dish of Le Marche, Jason likes to use it in his cooking classes to teach how to balance flavors in the kitchen: fat, acid, sweet, salty & aromatic. The creamy mozzarella subdues the tartness of the lemon; sweet cherry tomatoes go perfectly with the aromatic basil; and salty anchovies round out the dish. All five of these ingredients work together harmoniously so that none of them are overpowering creating a balanced flavor.This dish is also fantastic because you can make it your own very simply. Don't like anchovies? Try some capers or olives instead, better yet go meaty and throw in a little prosciutto to get that salty component that is needed. In Autumn, when the basil is gone and the frost have taken the tomatoes use the ingredients of that season to substitute (Gorgonzola, pear and walnuts sound good to me). Be creative! Keep this philosophy in mind and you can adapt any recipe to fit the season.
2. Remove the ends of the lemons & discard them (don't cut in to deep - you want to keep a closed bottom). Then cut the lemons in half crossways, giving you little lemon bowls.
4. Cut a piece of mozzarella to fit inside, then lay a basil leaf, half an anchovy fillet and half a cherry tomato on top with a pinch of salt & pepper and a little drizzle of good olive oil. Put another slice of mozzarella on top - the lemon should now be filled up. Do the same to the rest of the lemon bowls.
5. Place on a baking sheet & cook in a preheated oven for 10 - 15 minutes, until golden & bubbling.
6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. To eat: scoop the mozzarella out and eat with the bread to soak up any juices!


If you're serious about improving your well-being, you really should be keeping a health and fitness diary.
The big health news this week is that finally a study has proved what many in the fitness industry have been saying for years: there's no one-size-fits all diet (and funnily enough, no one-size fits all exercise plan either).
The Personalised Nutrition Project by Professor Eran Segal and Dr Eran Elinav of Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science looked at 1,000 volunteers who had their blood sugars checked every five minutes for a week while they ate their normal diet.
They also had their gut flora checked and answered questions about what they ate, their exercise and their sleep patterns.
"The first super surprise was how differently the response was to the same food," said Elinnav… and the big headlines from the study were along the like of Is this the future of food?, Obesity may be misunderstood and There really is no one size fits all diet plan.
But to myself, fellow PTs and nutrition therapists, that's no surprise at all.
We are all individuals so it makes sense that our bodies react in different ways to different stimuli, whether that be diet, exercise or our environment.
Even the job you do can have health ramifications – a hairdresser in a busy salon breathing in hair spray and dye chemicals all day will be affected in a different way to a gardener who spends all day in the open air.
And it's why keeping some kind of a fitness/diet record is so important.
We've all been there before: doing what we are supposed to do with a fitness regime or a diet and found it's had little or no effect – and it's largely because while we are generally genetically the same, all of our bodies react differently.
Short of doing a barrage of (expensive) tests, the only way that can work for you is by trial and error. And that doesn't mean flitting from one exercise/diet program to another, but by accurately recording what you are doing … and if it's not working, tweaking things slightly to see if it has an effect.
Employing a fitness professional should help you reach your goals quicker – a good PT or a nutrition therapist would recognise some of the imbalances and be able to target better the things to change… but this is not a sale pitch, everyone can benefit from keeping a health and fitness diary.
Set yourself a goal, pick a program or diet and record everything you do accurately… and if things don't improve and they do or you reach a plateau, change one thing at a time and give it a week or two to see what effect it has. By keeping accurate records, you'll be able to quickly see what's working and what's not.
Technology can help too, there are dozens of apps and websites out there now so as MyFitnessPal that can help, making the process easy, accurate and, above all, second nature.

When I re-activated my blog at WordPress in October 2009, I have indicated my intention that I wanted to bring the Chinese and Spanish speaking peoples to blog in one place. Of course it included the English speakers too as I am one of them. It was impossible at the time as WordPress was blocked in China. So it seemed no way for me to reach out to my Chinese friends. Thanks to the introduction by a Chinese friend at LiveMocha, I came to know of the blog site 163.com. Although the latter was designed primarily for Chinese language users, I find it very English friendly. As a matter of fact, I find it, to a certain extent, better than WordPress as it has a lot of the gadgets pre-installed. Besides, it got a lot of my friends' beautiful pictures in the first page, which make it more interesting. The problem is, at I said earlier, that it is all in Chinese. I have a Spanish friend who wanted to join my blog, but to no avail, because, although he is learning Chinese, he could not understand all the Chinese instructions to be able to register.
During the course of my making friends at Italki and Livemocha for the past few months I see that increasingly more Chinese are learning Spanish and more Spanish speakers are learning Chinese. I have a lot of Chinese friends at 163.com and I have a lot of Spanish speakers friends at WordPress. However, it seems almost impossible to bring the peoples of the two languages together. However, as the title of this post suggested, if there is a will there is a way. It is clear my will is there, now I have to find a way. Now I have a way, which is that I am going to start a new blog at another blog site and the name of the blog is bzin2.weebly.com, which is accessible in China. My friends please visit my blog there and feel free to blog. But please…….no politics, otherwise, it will end up like my WordPress blog.


Computer Scientist, Co- Creator and CEO of Google. Everyone who uses Google should understand Larry Page, the creator of largest search engine on the planet. He might be the man because of whom you were able to get this place! Now the person is the Chief Executive Officer of Google, the internet giant. In the year 2004 Larry and Sergey were given with the Marconi Prize. Carl Page, his dad earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science and he was a leader in this area and Gloria was a computer Science pro also. Larrys parents were computer science professors who educated in Michigan State University.
Produced to computer experts, it was clear that Larry was inclined to select computer science as his subject. Larry says he's spent his youth in a house full of computers and magazines on computer science all around him. The person also said that from youth he needed to devise new things which is the reason he was so pulled towards learning new technology. At age six he began using computers and he had a want to begin his own business. Six met his Google associate, Sergey Brin at Stanford University. Brian was already in the plan for two years and he was delegated the job to show the campus to the new pupils. This is the beginning of the camaraderie between both large computer heads. Sergey and Larry developed a PageRank algorithm as a way to convert the back line information into a useful measure for certain page. The backline data was chosen by the BackRubs Web Crawler. When they developed the algorithm they realised this algorithm also can be utilized to develop a top-notch search engine that doesn't yet exists. They developed an internet search engine as a research project which exhibited results based on the most used pages. They made an first version of the search engine in the year 1996 and later in the year 1998 they developed the most widely used and innovative search engine Google.
Larry Page is the co founder of the hottest search engine as well as in the year 2004 when his web site first became public his net worth increased to 12 billion US dollars. His present net worth is 31.2 billion US dollar. Larry possesses a house in California and this property has historical values. The person has assembled a posh house with this property on a acreage of 6,000 feet. Larry is a environment friendly man and so he's built an extremely environmental friendly house. This modernized house has three floors and the roof garden additionally have solar panels. In the year 2011, Larry added another high-priced commodity to his list by purchasing a high-priced yacht that he gave around 45 million US dollars. The yacht is a luxury piece which consists of 10 munificent and classy suits, helipad, multi level sun decks and a fitness center. Larry along with his associate Sergey additionally possesses a private jet that will be called the Google Jet which they got in 15 million US dollars. As an environment friendly man it's not surprising that Larry possesses a Toyota Prius that's a gas- electric hybrid car. Google additionally gave 1.65 billion US dollars to buy the most famous video streaming website, YouTube. Page and Lucinda are proud parents of two kids. Larry has an exclusive fascination with renewable energy technology particularly in renewable energy vehicles. He and his associate have made investment in Tesla Motors. Tesla Motors is a known business which makes vehicles that run on sustainable sources of energy. You can see Larry riding on Zero X Electric dirt bike and driving around in a electric sports car in the business he's made investment in, Tesla Motors.

Sturminster Newton's bell will toll today exactly 20 years after the cattle market closed
On this day in 1997 at 3pm, the bell was rung to mark the closure of the cattle market
Fiona Dart
The final days of Sturminster Newton's cattle market 1997
Today Friday 30th June at 3pm, Evie Watts, a pupil from William Barnes School, will symbolically ring the market bell in The Exchange in Sturminster Newton.
At exactly the same time, on 30th June 1997, the bell was rung to mark the sad occasion of the closing of the cattle market ending a 700-year tradition of livestock trading in the town.
The bell which had been kept intact by a local farmer for a decade, was installed in The Exchange in 2007 as a link to the towns past and is rung regularly to signify the starting of shows. It was also rung, by 10 year old Joshua Twigden, on 30th June 2007 to mark the 10th anniversary of the market closure.
All are welcome to mark the occasion.
The history of Sturminster market dates back at least to 1219, when a charter permitting the holding of a fair was granted by Henry III.
There are records of several other fairs or markets between then and 1332, when Edward III permitted Sturminster to hold four fairs a year with livestock markets on the previous day.
But it was 1496 before the town had its first weekly livestock market.
Sheep would have been the livestock most commonly traded until the 19th century, when the emphasis of Blackmore Vale farming shifted to dairy cattle.
The market was on a Thursday until 1895, when it switched to Mondays and became fortnightly, probably to avoid competing with Sherborne and Blandford, which had Thursday markets.
The arrival of the Somerset and Dorset railway in 1863 provided a major boost and by 1906 the livestock market had grown enough to justify a move to a one-acre site off Station Road.
The site was added to several times during the 20th century and by the time of its closure in 1997 it covered seven acres.
In 1939, with the outbreak of war threatening major shortages, the market became weekly again to boost the turnover of local produce.
By the later decades of the 20th century Sturminster was the biggest calf market in the country.
The Saturday market also used the Sturminster Newton cattle market site
Cheese was another profitable spin-off of the dairying boom and Sturminster became famous for the quality of its cheeses until the factory closed in 2000.
In 1988 BSE became a notifiable disease requiring the slaughter of sick animals.
The subsequent link with a new variant human form of CJD led to a worldwide ban in British beef and a dramatic fall in the cattle trade. By this time the market site had changed hands twice in 15 years and was now owned by an offshore company who were eagerly eyeing its potential for redevelopment.
Despite a vigorous campaign to save the market and some hold-ups in the planning process during the early to mid-1990s, its days were numbered.
The livestock market closed in 1997 and its site has since been redeveloped with a range of facilities, including a thriving community centre, named the Exchange after the old Corn Exchange, which was at the heart of commercial activity for so long.

Neither Androgyny nor Stereotypes: Sex Differences and the Difference They Make
Texas Review of Law & Politics, Vol. 24, No. 1
52 Pages Posted: 19 Mar 2020
See all articles by Ryan T. Anderson

The Ethics and Public Policy Center; University of Dallas
Date Written: March 6, 2020
Recent debates about gender identity and the various waves of feminism and new feminisms have clouded many people's understanding of sex and of gender. Whether it be proposals from feminists that equate equality with sameness, and thus argue, for example, that it should be illegal to be a "stay-at-home mom," or claims by transgender activists that a boy could be trapped in the body of a girl, many people today lack a clear understanding of the concept of biological sex, how it develops and is determined, and the difference that sex differences make.
This article argues that sex is a biological reality, conceptualized and identified based on an organism's organization with respect to sexual reproduction. In human beings, this organization begins to form as a result of the chromosomes we inherit from our parents, as well as the reproductive organs, systems, genitalia, and hormones that develop as a consequence. As there are two reproductive systems, there are two sexes. This primary sexual differentiation in turn gives rise to secondary bodily differences—in terms of height, weight, organ development, musculature, and even psychology. These are not essential differences, but differences in distributional patterns. And as a result, it should not be surprising if on average and for the most part boys and girls, men and women, display different interests, inclinations, and preferences.
But these on-average differences, while they should be recognized and accounted for, should not be taken as normative. Differences between men and women should not be denied (androgyny) but nor should mere differences alone be imposed as if prescriptive (stereotypes). Instead, cultures need to cultivate the differences that make a difference in the ways that people—men and women—pursue certain goods and thus in the formation of certain social practices. And so, this article argues that gender is how cultures give expression to sexual differences.
Feminism originally sought to liberate women from a restrictive understanding of gender and free them to be themselves, but elements of it turned into a movement that went beyond giving women the same equality of opportunity and liberty as men, instead seeking to erase the differences between the sexes. Our culture has gone from the error of exaggerated and rigid sex stereotypes to the opposite error of denying that there are any important differences between the sexes. From that error comes a culture of androgyny and gender confusion. The radical feminist aim of erasing all differences between men and women might seem contrary to the transgender insistence that the inner sense of a distinctly male or female gender identity cannot be altered by therapy, though beneath it all is a delinking of gender from our biological nature.
Between stereotypes on the one hand and androgyny on the other, the virtuous mean is a view of gender that reveals meaningful sex differences and communicates the difference they make—a view that takes sex differences seriously while upholding the fundamental equality of the sexes as complements to one another. It acknowledges what sex differences mean for marriage and family, friendship and education. Our sexual embodiment is precisely what makes marriage possible, and a host of social practices, including how we nurture boys and girls, are shaped with the good of marriage in view. On average, boys and girls, and men and women have different needs and inclinations, so our law and culture should not take the male way of being human as the norm. This means that women should not be forced to live, work, and compete as if they were men. Society should accept that men and women may, on the whole, have different preferences and freely make different choices.
We need to recover a sound understanding of gender and of why it's important for our society to respect the fundamental differences between male and female. We need to cultivate a mature and nuanced view of gender so that children understand that there are various ways to be real boys and real girls—that we don't all have to conform to a stereotype. But this does not require adopting the view that gender norms are entirely artificial, mere "social constructs."
Sex is a bodily, biological reality, and gender is how we give social expression to that reality. Gender properly understood is a social manifestation of human nature, springing forth from biological realities, though shaped by rational and moral choice. Human beings are creatures of nature and of culture, but a healthy culture does not attempt to erase our nature as male- or female-embodied beings. Instead, it promotes the integrity of persons, in part by cultivating manifestations of sex differences that correspond to biological facts. It supports gender expressions that reveal and communicate our sexual nature.
Gender is socially shaped, but it is not a mere social construct. It originates in biology, but in turn it directs our bodily nature to higher human goods. A sound understanding of gender clarifies the important differences between the sexes and guides our distinctly male or female qualities toward our well-being. A concept of gender that denies or distorts these differences, on the other hand, hinders human flourishing.
And so, this article proceeds by exploring the concept of biological sex, its biological formation in a primary and secondary sense, and disorders of sexual development and how to understand them. It then turns to gender theory and feminism, mistaken understandings of gender that either deny (androgyny) or distort (stereotypes) the differences that make a difference, and how our sexual embodiment should influence our communal pursuit of human goods.

This city built several tiny homes to address growing homelessness problem
June 30, 2021 January 3, 2021 by FarahR
Homelessness is one of the most pressing issues that Southern California is facing today. But thanks to the brainchild of Washington-based company Pallet and city officials' efforts, a probable solution to this dilemma seems to have been found.
The population of homeless people in Redondo Beach is estimated to be under 200 people – a small number compared to other California cities.
However, city officials wanted to take a proactive approach by experimenting with innovative ways to address this growing problem.
Image via ABC7
Instead of just waiting to see what happens, Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand wanted to provide a solution.
And that solution came in the form of tiny houses made from pallet shelters erected on Kingsdale Avenue.
These 8-foot-by-8-foot cabins were originally designed as temporary shelters for disaster relief after Hurricane Katrina to provide a solution that allowed victims to preserve their privacy and dignity as they are recovering from trauma.
And over a decade later, the idea of using them as homeless shelters was introduced by the employees of Pallet, a "social purpose company" that employs individuals who struggled with addiction, have been incarcerated, or experienced homelessness themselves.
"Our employees were the ones who said, 'This is amazing. This is exactly what's needed – this sort of temporary, stabilizing place where we can have shelter and keep our things and that's what was missing in our story,'" said Pallet CEO Amy King.
Each unit can be set up and be ready for use in a matter of hours. They are made of aluminum, which is rust-proof, and each panel is made from non-organic, fiber-glass like material. They're made to be stored flat and should last about 10 years.
Pallet units are equipped with two beds, mattresses, shelves, a heater, an air conditioner, and electrical panels. They can also be easily sanitized between users.
"They were so grateful to have a door and a lock because it felt like they could leave their things and go get services and not worry about their stuff," King said. "They could feel safe sleeping at night. It's a game changer."
Aside from giving them a place to stay, the city brought in portable toilets and mobile shower services for the homeless.
These shelters are designed for people who need temporary help. The vision is that this community will serve as a stepping stone to getting permanent housing.
Riverside County has installed 30 Pallet units in March. Los Angeles already has several sites planned for early next year.
The Pallet shelters in Redondo Beach will remain there for six months, and then the city council will reevaluate. But if it needs to be moved, these homes can easily go with it since they can be quickly disassembled and put back together.
About 30 of these units can fit in a semi-truck, making deployment and storage easy.
Although Redondo Beach has a small homeless population, it's great to see city officials and companies like Pallet being proactive about it instead of looking the other way.

WHY DONT OTHER COUNTRIES DO THE SAME .IT IS A GREAT IDEA FAIR PLAY TO THE PERSON THAT PLANNED IT .IT IS GREAT TO HOW IT HAS HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE
ShiraDest
I've been wondering about the status of the zoning problems that Tiny Homes faced in San Diego and up in LA, where the LATCH collective was lobbying Sacramento to allow Tiny Home placement, depending on what classification the particular home fell into, vis. mobile or fixed.
Thank you, Farah, for showing us that some progress is being made to allow Tiny Houses to help the most vulnerable.
Stay safe,
-Shira
What a wonderful idea nice to see someone is thinking about the homeless. Thank you
