There will be no Lib Dem U-turn on boundary changes
The offer of state funding (or anything else) will not induce Clegg to change his stance.
By George Eaton
Without the introduction of the proposed boundary changes, there's almost no chance of the Conservatives winning a majority at the next election – the party would need a lead of around seven points on a uniform swing. With the changes, however, it would need one of just four. So it's no surprise that some Tories are still hopeful that they can persuade the Lib Dems to renege on their opposition to the reforms.
Today's FT reports that the Conservatives are planning a "cash-for-seats" offer under which the Liberal Democrats would approve the new boundaries in return for the introduction of state funding for political parties. So woeful is the Lib Dems' financial situation that the Tories believe Nick Clegg will have no choice but to withdraw his veto. "They are basically out of money," one minister tells the paper, while another adds: "There is a plot". That the Lib Dems' finances are increasingly strained is beyond doubt. As Rafael noted in August, the party's entry into government has seen it deprived of the "short money" made available by the state to opposition parties (something that will cost it £9m over the course of the parliament), while the loss of a quarter of its membership in 2011 helped result in a deficit of £299,964 last year.
But even with this in mind, it's hard to see the offer of state funding (or anything else) inducing Clegg to change his stance. In August, after the abandonment of House of Lords reform, he said:
Coalition works on mutual respect; it is a reciprocal arrangement, a two-way street. So I have told the Prime Minister that when, in due course, parliament votes on boundary changes for the 2015 election I will be instructing my party to oppose them.
In September, when rumours of a deal first surfaced, he declared: "Nothing will change my mind on that." His stance was overwhelmingly endorsed in a motion at the party's conference last month. For these reasons, Lib Dem Scottish Secretary Michael Moore was almost certainly right when he told the Today programme this morning that there is "no prospect of any kind of deal like that." A "cash-for-seats" agreement would only confirm Clegg's reputation as a turncoat, while making his party look irredeemably grubby.
Last month, whilst apologising for breaking his pledge not to support an increase in tuition fees, Clegg declared: "I will never again make a pledge unless as a party we are absolutely clear about how we can keep it." And the pledge to vote against the boundary changes is one that will be kept.

HONG KONG, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government will start work immediately on building a platform for dialogue among all walks of life, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said Tuesday.
While meeting the press, Lam said she hopes all sides can show mutual understanding and respect toward each other, and openly and directly conduct dialogues with people of all ranks and classes with different political stances and backgrounds in a bid to find a way out for Hong Kong.
Lam said she and the heads of the government bureaus are willing to go directly to communities and talk with people.

Memoirs of people who have done interesting things with their life are not simply an account of their struggles and achievements. Their true value lies not just as a record of some significant events but, rather, in their role as a potential means to inspire others to learn from the example of such individuals and emulate them. They provide important lessons about life, including about how to deal with challenges and how to make the best use of the gifts that each of us is blessed with.
Reading about the lives of inspiring people is a wonderful way to get ideas about what to do with one's own life. In this regard, this book is a real gem. It is the story of the life of a woman who has become an inspiration for many. Naturally, not every reader will agree with everything that the book says and every claim that it makes. But still, it definitely makes for great reading!
Having studied in a Catholic girls' school and the presence of strong women in her family had a major role in shaping Khan for some of the many roles that she was to go on to play later in life. So, too, was her parents' decision to send her at a relatively young age to the United States to attend high school, where she stayed with relatives in a largely Jewish area.
Khan writes poignantly about the culture shock she experienced when she got to America. But talented and determined as she was, she made her way about and quickly climbed the corporate ladder after college as an architectural designer in New York.
That wasn't to be her major vocation in life, however. Even as she loved the freedom she enjoyed as a career woman, she felt something missing in her life. One day, someone suggested she visit a Sufi mosque, and there she discovered a warm home. Khan provides interesting glimpses of her journey in her faith, and explains how she ended up marrying the mosque's imam, the internationally-known the Egyptian American Sufi Islamic scholar, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, noted, among other things, for his advocacy of women's rights, interfaith harmony and peace-building.
But in this new phase of her life Khan wasn't to become a domesticated housewife. As the spouse of a socially-progressive imam, Khan now took up new roles, guiding women who turned to her for advice. In the process, she emerged as a firm advocate of gender justice, using arguments rooted in Islamic discourses to defend Muslim women's rights within the family, to combat patriarchal interpretations of Islam and to oppose child marriage and female genital mutilation. Khan provides us interesting details of some of her practical efforts in this regard, including her role in founding the Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE), a global organisation that works for Muslim women's rights.
Khan also describes how over the years she became deeply engaged in efforts to address some of the other key issues in ongoing debates centred on Islam and Muslims. One of these was promoting harmony and dialogue between Muslims and people of other faiths. Khan was well suited for this immensely important task. Her being able 'to embrace all cultures and religions', as she puts it, probably made her ideal for this. Another area where she made major practical contributions, and which she recounts in considerable detail, are peace-building and working with Muslims to oppose terrorism in the name of their faith.
This is a fascinating account of a very eventful life, one rooted in faith and remarkably open to various traditions and cultures. It is a story of a life led with meaning and purpose, seeking to creatively and sensitively respond to some of the most pressing concerns the world is beset with today.


I wanted to ask if it's possible to make clean versions of everyone? No dirt on their faces and/or skin and clothes. Like keep both Claire and Leon clean in their campaigns as well as keep Ada and Sherry clean?
Even with Sherry in her classic costume, can anyone make that clean, too? Especially when towards the end, when she is wearing Classic Claire's vest, keep her face clean if that's possible.
+1, especially I want to see clean tanktop Claire.
Likewise, I already requested a Clean Tank Top Claire a few days ago, but being able to have everyone clean would be nice as well.

Enforcing Foreign Judgments in UAE- Part II
Author(s):Abd El Ghany
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS GOVERNING THE ENFORCEMENT OF FOREIGN JUDGMENTS IN THE UAE
To continue with our previous article, the second part deals with the various agreements in place between the United Arab Emirates and various countries and how they are enforced. We have looked at multilateral and bilateral agreements separately for ease of reference.
Multilateral Agreements
1) Agreement on the Enforcement of Sanctions between the UAE and other Arab League countries (1952) such as Kingdom of Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, KSA, and Egypt (the 'Agreement').
Federal Decree No 93 of 1972, summarizes the most important provisions on final judgments for civil or commercial cases; provision of compensation for criminal courts or relates to civil status issued by a judicial authority in one of the Arab League countries, shall be enforceable in all member states in accordance with the provisions of such Agreement.
A competent UAE court where the foreign judgment is required to be enforced shall reject the enforcement of the foreign judgment in the following cases:
a. if the foreign court, which rendered the judgment was lacking absolute competence or due to the international rules of jurisdiction, it was not competent to consider the matter.
if the parties to the proceedings were not duly informed.
if the foreign judgment was contrary to the public order or public morality in the state, where the judgment is required to be applied; or it was contrary to international public laws.
if the foreign judgment was rendered between the same parties to the proceedings, on the same civil or criminal matter from one of the competent courts in the state; or if such courts have another lawsuit being considered for the same adversaries concerning the same subject which was filed before submitting the lawsuit to the court that issued the judgment required to be enforced.
With regard to foreign arbitration decisions, the Agreement states that the competent authority who shall enforce the foreign arbitration decision, issued in one of the Arab League States, shall not have the power to re-examine the subject of the lawsuit, for which the judgment of arbitrators was issued, but can reject the request for enforcing such a judgment in the following cases:
if the law of the state requiring the enforcement of the arbitration decision does not permit the subject of the lawsuit to be settled by arbitration.
if the judgment of arbitrators was not rendered in accordance with the arbitration rules and regulations of that state.
if the arbitrator was not competent under the arbitration rules or pursuant to the law upon which the judgment of the arbitrator was rendered.
if the parties to the proceedings were not duly informed for attendance to the relevant tribunal.
if the judgment rendered by the arbitrator violates moral codes or public laws of the state, requesting enforcement of the arbitration decision. The UAE competent authority has to determine the existence of such violation and shall not enforce the part which is contrary to public orders or public morals.
if the arbitration decision was not final in the state where the judgment was rendered.
The Agreement will not apply on any foreign judgments rendered against the government of that state who requested to enforce the judgment; as well as on the foreign judgments that are incompatible with international treaties and Agreements that are in full force in the foreign country requested to enforce such a judgment.
Article 5 of this Agreement deals with the enforcement procedure. It stipulates a list of documents that shall be attached to the request of enforcement:
• An original copy of the judgment, written in an executive format, approved by the competent authority of the foreign state.
• An original copy of the judgment or official certificate indicating that the judgment was duly rendered.
• A Certificate issued by a competent authority, indicating that the judgment is irrevocable and enforceable.
• A Certificate indicating that the litigants were duly summoned to appear before the competent court or jury.
2) The 1995 Protocol on the Enforcement of Judgments, Letters Rogatory, and Judicial Notices issued by the Courts of the Member States of the Arab Gulf Co-operation Council ('GCC Protocol') has provided similar conditions as per the above Agreement.
The GCC Protocol states that foreign judgments shall not be wholly or partially enforced in the following cases:
a) If the foreign judgment to be enforced conflicts with the provisions of the Islamic Sharia, constitution or regulations applicable in the UAE.
b) If the judgment was issued in the absence of the defendant to the proceeding and he/she was not duly notified of the lawsuit or judgment.
c) If a dispute has risen for which the judgment has been issued is the subject matter of previous judgment issued in dispute between the same litigants with the same right in terms of place and reason having the powers of judged matters with the court where the judgment is to be enforced or any other member country in this agreement.
d) If the dispute for which the foreign judgment has been rendered is the subject matter of the proceeding considered already before any court of the country where the judgment is to be enforced. Having the same right in terms of place and reason and such lawsuit was filed before offering the dispute to the court of the country where the judgment has been issued.
e) If the enforcement of the foreign judgment conflicts with the International treaties and Agreements applicable in the country, where it is to be enforced.
It is imperative to note that the provisions of any Bilateral Agreements will not enforce foreign judgments that conflict with the provisions of Islamic Sharia or the general system of laws in the UAE.
II. Courts' decisions regarding the execution of foreign judgments
The Dubai Court of Cassation has concluded to separate between executing a foreign judgment rendered by a country involved in a bilateral or multilateral Agreement with the UAE, and a foreign judgment rendered by a country that is not involved in the same. This is to make sure that the conditions provided for in Article 235 of the Civil Procedures Law are met and that the law of the foreign country, where the judgment has been rendered, is considered by the Court of Merit.
Hence, where there is a cooperation agreement in place between the UAE and a foreign state, the provisions of Article 238 of the Civil Procedures Law shall stipulate as per the resolution of such court that the provisions of treaties concluded by and between the UAE and the other foreign states or International treaties approved by the UAE shall be applied regarding the enforcement of foreign judgments, even if the conditions contained in chapter four of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure No. 11, as discussed above.
In addition, the Abu Dhabi Court of Cassation has issued several principles regarding the enforcement of foreign judgments. Among the principles is the principle that the subject matter of foreign judgments issued in foreign states shall not be considered according to the Civil Procedures Law, instead they should be considered in form and the parties to the proceedings should duly appear before the relevant Court.
In addition, the Abu Dhabi Court has confirmed in its decision that a foreign judgment shall not be enforced if such a judgment conflicts with the previous UAE Court judgments or Islamic Sharia or general laws of the UAE.
For example, a plaintiff has filed a lawsuit before the Abu Dhabi Court of First Instance in relation to her divorce, requesting the Court to enforce the judgment rendered by the London Court, which provided for a monthly support payment of GBP 1, 712 (equivalent to about AED10, 500) to her from the date of rendering the said judgment, until she gets married or the issuance of another judgment by the same Court.
The Court of First Instance has rejected the case and supported the appealed judgment which led the plaintiff to challenge the rendered judgment by the London Court before the Court of Cassation (which rejected the submitted case as the appellant was divorced from the defendant by virtue of a previous judgment issued by the Abu Dhabi Sharia Court of Appeal, and which led to the divorcing of the plaintiff from the defendant for damages, taken into consideration that it was not proven that the defendant has returned to the plaintiff which means that the judgment for the divorce was still valid.) Although the plaintiff has obtained a foreign judgment after her divorce, enforcing that foreign judgment (support for life) was incompatible with the provisions of Islamic Sharia and the UAE law on divorce (that binds the husband to spend on his woman during the period of her waiting period (Iddah)). Thus, the Court of Appeal refused to enforce the London judgment so that it complies with both the Sharia and the UAE applicable laws.
Based on the above, it becomes clear that the enforcement of foreign judgments inside the country does not prejudice the principle of state sovereignty. A foreign judgment shall be enforced only when it has been duly rendered as per the applicable procedures provided and duly notifying the parties of the proceedings. In addition, such a judgment shall not be in conflict with the Islamic Sharia or general system of the UAE laws; and shall be irrevocable. Recognizing and enforcing foreign judgments in this way by the UAE courts shows a sign of respect to litigation procedures in general, the doctrine of judicial supremacy and thus establishing justice internationally and achieving international judicial cooperation.

Rebonding and straightening are two treatments that are used to straighten hair. Rebonding involves chemically altering the structure of the hair whereas straightening involves temporary changes in the texture or shape of hair using different equipment and solutions. The main difference between rebonding and straightening is the longevity of the straight hair; rebonding is a permanent hair treatment since it alters the structure of the hair whereas straightening is a temporary hair treatment.
3. What is the difference between Rebonding and Straightening?
Rebonding is a hair treatment that involves chemically relaxing the hair. Rebonding will make your hair look smooth, sleek and straight.
This method uses strong chemicals to break the naturals bonds of the hair and to rearrange these bonds to get straight hair. The chemical that is used to break the bonds of the hair is called a softener or a relaxer and the re-bonding of this bonds is done by a neutralizer. Rebonding is a time-consuming process that has to be done carefully so that the hair is not excessively damaged. Therefore, many people prefer to go to trained hair stylists to rebond their hair.
Rebonding is a comparatively permanent solution and lasts as long as a year – depends on the time your hair takes to regrow. Rebonding can be done for all types of hair. But it is usually preferred by people with curly, voluminous and untamable hair. However, rebonded hair needs a lot of care than normal hair due to all the chemical treatments it has undergone.
However, using various heating techniques such as hair irons and hot combs can also damage your hair. Overuse of heat can permanently damage the structure of your hair; this is known as heat damage. The only way to repair this damage is to cut off the damaged hair and regrow it. Therefore, it is advisable to always use protective lotions or sprays before using thermal treatments.
Rebonding: Rebonding is a chemical treatment.
Straightening: Straightening involves thermal treatment or chemical treatment.
Rebonding: Rebonding is a permanent treatment that lasts for at least a year.
Straightening: Straightening is a temporary treatment.
Rebonding: Rebonding alters the structure of the hair.
Straightening: Straightening doesn't alter the structure of the hair.
Rebonding: Rebonding may be more damaging to hair since it involves chemicals.
Straightening: Straightening may be less damaging.
Rebonding: Rebonded hair may not be affected by environmental factors such as humidity and rain.
Straightening: Straightened hair may be affected by factors like humidity and rain and become fizzy.
Rebonding: Many people prefer to do rebonding at a salon.
Straightening: Straightening can be done at home.

At an early age I declared I wanted to be a chef, I think it was while I "helped" my Mom with dinner. When what I was actually doing was stirring a sauce that didn't need stirring while she put together an entire meal and let me take all the credit.
I do remember attempting to make a cake look like a smoked boar's head when I was in the 6th grade. I got it into my somewhat smoked brain that it would be amazing to make for our class's renaissance fair. After weeks of learning about the renaissance period I was obsessed with it, I day dreamed of what it would be like sitting at a giant table with knights and lady's in fancy dresses that had huge sleeves (that I would have used as some sort of snack transportation device). And attending jousting events while eating a giant turkey leg that I smuggled in with my giant sleeve, and of course speaking in a bad British accent… But back to the 90's, I don't know what possessed me to put my Mom through this special hell but I do remember coming home and demanding boxed cake and canned frosting and telling her my idea. With a reluctant, slightly scared look in her eye she agreed to let me bake the cake and shape it into a boar's head.
It started out simple enough; box cake was more forte back then. I baked the cake in one of my Mom's lasagna pans. Once it was cooled I started hacking into it with a butter knife, cutting it in half and laying both half's on top of each other than cutting a little off the side and a little off the front. I was really getting into it, cutting away bits of cake imagining the master piece I was going to end up with. Somewhere between the cake becoming smaller and smaller and my mom peeking her head into the kitchen to offer her assistance I had started frosting it. I frosted the whole cake in chocolate frosting, and stood back to admire my "masterpiece". It was then that I realized it looked like a mangled square with a small rectangle attached to it and I began to lose it.
I could feel the tears welling in my eyes as my family came and looked at with confusion over what exactly it was. Fortunately Mom was to the rescue, grabbing some of the scraps of cake and frosting them with white canned frosting. She cut them into make shift tusks and attached them with toothpicks. Then on the slightly smaller brown rectangular heap of cake she dug out two little nostrils and instructed me to grab the jar of cherries from the fridge. She attached the "eyes" with some more tooth picks and alas there it was a cake molded into a magnificent boars head! To the untrained eye, it was a mess; to me it was shaky version of a piece of art that a Queen would be proud to have adorned her table while serving a feast.
And so I brought it to school and to be honest I have no idea what anyone's reaction to it was… It was 1996 or 1997 depending on what time of the school year it was and I can't remember that either. I do remember trying to play down how excited I was about it when it was all frosted and done. My Mom told me how proud of me she was and again let me take all the credit for creating the boars head shaped cake. Although in hind sight she probably just didn't want people to know she had anything to do with the giant hunk of mess that I kept calling Sir. Oinker.

Q: MegaRAID SAS Phy is bad on enclosure, no SAS address I've inherited a MegaRAID SAS 24 bay RAID, that is also attached to two additional enclosures ( one 24 bay, and one 12 bay).
I attempted to load 6 new drives into 6 consecutive empty drive bays on the 12 bay enclosure (bays 6 - 11) and all 6 showed a solid red error light, and the admin mailing list got 6 messages...

Looking up the event ID in the documentation gives me:

Logged when the status indicates a device presence, but there is no corresponding SAS address is associated with the device.

*I put the 6 new drives in one of the other enclosures, and they worked fine (so not bad drives).

*There are 6 drives operating fine in bays 0-5.

It seems odd that all 6 sequential drive bays 6-11 should be bad, but apparently NOT the entire backplane is bad.
Is it possible for only half of the enclosure's backplane to have gone bad? Or is this a firmware (or some other configuration) problem?

This was a very close battle with Gaishinetc squatting an impressive 749. Olech as expected, took the squat with a nearly not to be 815 WR. It was originally turned down 2 to 1 but after his coaches appealed to the jury it was overturned! After the squats were done Gaishinetc blasted a 485 bench to Olech's 462 then beat Olech again in the deadlift with 710 to 683. However, it just wasnt enough. Olech's huge 66 lb lead in the squat carried him to victory with 1,962 to Gaishinetc's 1,945. Had his 815 not been overturned it could have been Gaishnetc with 1,945 to Olech 1,940!! You can see the 815 lift in the following video at about 38 min in.

Major mutation pattern in cancer occurs in bursts
Researchers have created a huge resource for investigating the biological mechanisms that cause cancer. The scientists from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their collaborators identified which patterns of DNA damage — mutational fingerprints that represent the origins of cancer — were present in over a thousand human cancer cell lines. They also revealed that a major mutation pattern found in human cancer, previously linked to a virus-fighting immune response, occurred in bursts in cancer cell lines with long periods of silence in between, but the cause of these mutational bursts remains mysterious.
Published today (7th March) in Cell, the resource will enable scientists to study what causes mutations that lead to the development of cancer, directly in human cancer cells. Further understanding into these mutational processes could help researchers find novel avenues for research towards cancer prevention and treatment.
All cancers are caused by DNA mutations, and these mutations form molecular fingerprints in the DNA called mutational signatures. More than 50 different signatures have been found, many of which are caused by external factors, for example ultraviolet light exposure or tobacco smoking. Others are due to factors inside the cell such as the failure of DNA repair mechanisms. However, the causes of many mutational signatures are unknown and they are extremely challenging to study experimentally.
The researchers studied the genome sequences of 1,001 human cancer cell lines and 577 grafts of human cancers*, including the most widely used models in cancer research and therapeutics testing. They used all the known mutational signatures and catalogued which signature is present in each cancer model. This resource then allowed the scientists to choose specific cell lines and study how each mutational pattern changed over time in cancer cells.
They found that mutational signatures from known external factors like smoking or UV light stopped being created in cell lines, whereas most signatures associated with factors inside the cell continued to be generated, and at a steady rate. Surprisingly however, they discovered that two common mutational signatures associated with a DNA editing protein known as APOBEC, actually switched on and off over time in cell lines, a phenomenon they called "episodic mutagenesis."
APOBEC DNA editing enzymes are part of the innate immune system, protecting us from infections by causing mutations in viruses such as HIV, leaving APOBEC mutational signatures in the viral genomes. APOBEC-like signatures are a major mutation pattern in cancers, found in more than 70 per cent of cancer types. A theory for this is that viruses or inflammation could activate the enzymes to mutate the human genome instead of the virus. However, cell lines are not subject to inflammation and no viruses were found, suggesting other factors are involved. Importantly, cell lines found to generate these and other signatures over time can now be used by researchers to investigate the underlying causes of mutations in cancer.
Dr Mia Petljak, the first author on the paper from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, said: "Mutational signatures in human DNA represent traces of the mutational processes that happened in the past. In the first systematic study of mutational signatures in cell lines over time, we found that the signatures previously associated with APOBEC enzymes were the only mutations that came in bursts of activity. Cell lines that continue to generate APOBEC-associated, and other, signatures over time now provide us and other groups with a set of powerful tools to study root causes of human cancer — the origins of mutations."
Dr Peter Campbell, an author from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, said: "By annotating over a thousand publically available cancer cell lines with information on mutational signatures, we have provided the largest ever resource for experimentally investigating the biological mechanisms underlying these signatures. Now, researchers will be able to choose the right cell line to work with and systematically knock-out individual genes to study how this affects the generation of any mutational signature over time."
Dr David Scott, Cancer Research UK's director of discovery research, said: "This international team has created a giant library of the genetic codes that underpin cancer. Scientists anywhere at any time can 'check out' cancer cells from the library with this genetic information, to study the specific causes of these diseases, and the mechanisms we can exploit to prevent or treat them in future. Cancer is a global problem and requires a global solution."
"This research, which supports Cancer Research UK's Grand Challenge initiative, shows the value of drawing on the expertise of researchers from around the world to understand the root causes of cancer."
Prof Sir Mike Stratton, lead author from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, said: "Human cancer cell lines carry the signatures of the mutational processes that led to the cancer. Our work investigating what causes these signatures will lead to a better understanding of the origins of cancers. If we can determine exactly what triggers these mutational processes, it could be possible to avoid or limit that exposure, and thus help towards prevention of that cancer."

Aritz Aduriz Zubeldia (* 11. Februar 1981 in Donostia-San Sebastián) ist ein ehemaliger spanischer Fußballspieler.

Spielerkarriere

Verein
Aduriz stieß mit 19 Jahren zum Team der zweiten Mannschaft von Athletic Bilbao, nachdem der in Donostia-San Sebastián geborene Stürmer zuvor bei einigen kleineren Klubs in der Jugend gespielt hatte, darunter auch bei Antiguoko, dem Farmteam von Real Sociedad. Nach drei Jahren als Stammspieler wurde er an den Segunda-División-B-Konkurrent FC Burgos verliehen. Mit 16 Saisontoren machte er auf sich aufmerksam. Zur Saison 2004/05 zeigte daraufhin Real Valladolid, das gerade nach 13 Jahren Erstligazugehörigkeit wieder in die Segunda División abgestiegen war, Interesse an einem Leihgeschäft. Dies sollte sich schnell auszahlen: In den folgenden 18 Monaten schoss Aduriz für Valladolid in 46 Spielen 20 Tore.

Dies nahm sein Stammverein Athletic zur Kenntnis und so holte man ihn Anfang 2006 zurück. Daraufhin war er aus der Startelf nicht mehr wegzudenken und der erfolgreichste Torjäger der Basken in dieser Zeit. Am 19. Mai 2007 schoss er bei einer 3:4-Niederlage gegen Real Saragossa alle drei Tore seines Teams.

Im Sommer 2008 wechselte Aduriz zum Ligarivalen RCD Mallorca.

Zur Saison 2010/11 wechselte er für eine Ablösesumme in Höhe von vier Millionen Euro zum FC Valencia. Er unterschrieb einen Dreijahresvertrag. In seinem ersten Jahr schoss Aduriz in 29 Spielen zehn Tore. Nach der Verpflichtung von Jonas im Januar 2011 und auf Grund der Tatsache, dass Trainer Unai Emery meist nur mit einer echten Spitze spielen ließ und diese Position Roberto Soldado anvertraute, fand sich Aduriz in der Folge immer häufiger auf der Ersatzbank wieder.

Zur Saison 2012/13 kehrte Aduriz zu Athletic Bilbao zurück.

Am 3. November 2016, erzielte er in einem Heimspiel in der Gruppenphase der UEFA Europa League  alle Tore seiner Mannschaft (einschließlich dreier Elfmeter) beim 5:3-Sieg gegen den gegen KRC Genk. Er ist der erste Spieler mit 5 Treffern in einem Europa-League-Spiel.

Am 20. Mai 2020 verkündete Aduriz aufgrund einer schwerwiegenden Hüftverletzung sein Karriereende.

Nationalmannschaft
Sein Debüt im Team der Nationalmannschaft Spaniens gab Aritz Aduriz am 8. Oktober 2010 gegen Litauen. Sein erstes Länderspieltor erzielte er in einem Freundschaftsspiel gegen Italien zum 1:1 Endstand am 24. März 2016.

Für die Europameisterschaft 2016 in Frankreich wurde er von Vicente del Bosque in das Aufgebot Spaniens aufgenommen. Dreimal kam er im Turnier als Einwechselspieler zum Einsatz. Im Achtelfinale gegen Italien kam er bereits zur Halbzeit in die Partie, musste dann aber in der Schlussphase verletzt wieder ausgewechselt werden. Das Spiel wurde verloren und Spanien schied aus.

Am 8. Oktober 2006 gab er für die Baskische Fußballauswahl sein Debüt beim 2:2 gegen die Katalanische Fußballauswahl. Für die Auswahl aus dem Baskenland hat er 12 Tore in Freundschaftsspielen geschossen. Damit ist er der Rekordtorschütze der Mannschaft.

Erfolge
 Copa del Rey: Finalist 2014/15
 Supercopa de España: 2015
 Zarra-Trophäe: 2014/15, 2015/16
 Torschützenkönig der UEFA Europa League: 2015/16,   2017/18

Music notes: Harry Styles, Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson, Bad Bunny and Kate Bush
Harry Styles didn't skip a beat when a fan rushed the stage during his show in Brazil. NME reports a fan ran onto the stage while Harry was singing "What Makes You Beautiful," but security quickly tackled the intruder. "Well, that was different," Harry quipped while thanking security before joking, "I'm shooketh! I'm shooketh!"
Speaking of Harry, the singer is dealing with fans of The Strokes saying he stole the indie band's sound to make "As It Was." Ex Olivia Wilde has seemingly weighed in on the matter: Daily Mail snapped photos of her wearing a Strokes T-shirt to the gym. She and Harry went their separate ways last month after two years of dating.
Selena Gomez is rocking some colorful new hair and shared a TikTok of her using a public restroom's hand dryer to air out her rainbow-colored locks. "You gotta do what you gotta do," she captioned the clip.
Kelly Clarkson is seemingly the only singer who can convince Catherine Zeta-Jones to record a Christmas album. The actress appeared on Kelly's talk show and declared, "With you, I would [make one]. I'll come and sing with you any day."
Bad Bunny announced he is sitting out 2023 to focus on his health. "I'm taking a break. 2023 is for me, for my physical health, my emotional health to breathe, enjoy my achievements," he told Billboard. He added, "I have a couple of sporadic commitments, and I'll go to the studio, but there's no pressure."
Stranger Things star Sadie Sink said on Live with Kelly and Ryan that she had "no clue" Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" would blow up the way it did. She saw the song as "my little secret" after it topped her year-end playlists. Then the song became a viral hit: "I was not expecting that at all."


I have been great in leadership positions. And I have been, well, not so great. I have worked with team members who did well in their positions. I have worked with some that, well, were not so great. All of these significantly impacted the team and organization. You know what I mean.
Most of the time when team members and I were not winning together, it involved putting self first, fighting for credit, having a team member in the wrong role (or should not be on the team at all), communicating poorly, lacking self-awareness and self-management, and feeling the unspoken pressure to have it all together.
We grow the most when we are asking questions.
I think we grow the most when we are asking questions. I have the great opportunity to work alongside Andy Stanley, who is one of those leaders that expects us to answer the same question he asks himself, "What would a great leader do?" In fact, I find myself hearing him ask more questions than offering up solutions. That is something I admire. He is a lifelong learner, which makes what he says that much wiser.
If you are interested in being a great leader with a great team, try asking questions. You might discover it leads to more relational and organizational wins.
2. Do I evaluate everything?
3. Do I listen well to others?
4. Do I celebrate each person?
1. Am I receptive to feedback?
2. Am I bringing all my skills to the team?
3. Am I trusting my team members?
4. Am I constantly learning?
1. What does being great look like?
2. Where are we getting helpful feedback?
3. When do we say yes to an idea?
4. Why does being great matter?
What happens after asking these questions? Action. If you don't put action behind the answers, then you will not get an ideal result. In fact, you might find yourself even more frustrated.
If you don't put action behind the answers, then you will not get an ideal result.
Look at Clemson University's football team. The head coach, Dabo Swinney, has an "All In" slogan that players must embrace. When a player is "All In," no motivation is needed because they will put in the necessary work and be self-motivated to win.
Comedian Steve Martin said, "Be so good they can't ignore you." Your team needs to be so good that, when playing well together, nobody can ignore any of you.
Don't think of this arrogantly but in a way that people take notice of who you are and what you do. This gives you momentum and that is something hard to describe but known when felt. Imagine discovering new ways to win coming from asking helpful questions.

Former Justice Minister Jim Wallace, has apologised to the four fingerprint officers at the heart of the Shirley McKie case.
In evidence to a parliamentary inquiry, Mr Wallace said he regretted what the forensic scientists had gone through.
In 2000, he said the same thing about Ms McKie after he told MSPs her print had been misidentified.
Before the Justice 1 Committee, he said he regretted that four experts involved continue to live under a cloud.
Labour MSP Ken McIntosh pointed out that the four had never been charged with criminal activity nor found guilty under disciplinary proceedings and had never been allowed to return to normal duties.
He said they continued to be vilified by McKie supporters.
The probe was set up after political pressure over the case of former police detective Ms McKie, who was cleared of leaving her print at a murder scene in 1997.
MSPs on the committee were also told quality assurance was not good enough in Scotland's fingerprint service in the aftermath of the McKie case.
Former Chief Inspector of Constabulary in Scotland William Taylor had found the Scottish Criminal Records Office's (SCRO) fingerprint bureau was not fully effective and efficient after an inspection he carried out in 2000.
He told MSPs there was much good work at the SCRO but said there was an introverted culture where experts thought that their way was the "best way".
"Processes within the organisation were not as good as they should've been," he said.
"The way in which you were made an expert was not as good as it should have been, the quality assurance processes were not as good as they should have been."
It was Mr Taylor who, in the course of his inspection, commissioned European experts to re-examine the disputed print.
They concluded that it was not Ms McKie's.
This prompted the Scottish Executive to admit that it had been a misidentification.
Ms McKie was awarded £750,000 in compensation from the executive earlier this year.
Mr Taylor said that absence levels were high at the SCRO when he was asked about morale in the organisation during his inspection.

Neither District Administration nor Police have any powers to seize immovable property for violation of lockdown orders
The present writ petition has been filed for quashing the order as contained in memo no.705/GO dated 26th April, 2020 passed by the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Dhalbhum, Jamshedpur- respondent no.2 with a further direction to the respondents to remove the seal from "The Alcor Hotel", situated at Holding No.4, Ramdas Bhatta, opposite Indian Oil Petrol Pump, Bistupur, Jamshedpur, District East Singhbhum (hereinafter to be referred as 'the said premises')[Para No.2]
The factual background of the case as stated in the writ petition is that the petitioner owns the Hotel Alcor, which provides facilities such as restaurants, bar, spa etc. On 25th April, 2020, a first information report being Bistupur P.S. Case no.87 of 2020 was registered under Sections 188, 269 & 270 of the Indian Penal Code; Section 54 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005; and Section 3 of the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897, alleging that during the lockdown period, a raid was conducted on 25th April, 2020 in the Hotel Alcor wherein it was found that the spa was opened and few people including two girls were present in the conference hall, adjoining the spa. Seeing the raiding party, some persons fled away, however, three persons were apprehended on spot. Thereafter, the said premises was sealed on 26th April, 2020 by the Special Officer, Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee and the Executive Magistrate-cum-Incident Commander, East Singhbhum, Jamshedpur in terms with the office order as contained in memo no.705/GO dated 26th April, 2020 passed by the respondent no.2. Another first information report, being Bistupur P.S. Case no.88 of 2020 was registered under Sections 3, 4, 5 & 6 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 against one of the Directors of the petitioner- Company, namely, Rajiv Singh Dugal and other accused persons on 27th April, 2020, alleging therein that one Sharad Poddar had kept a lady, namely, XXXXXXXXXX in the said hotel for last one month and had been establishing physical relationship with her since then. The petitioner vide letter dated 7th May, 2020 requested the Deputy Commissioner, East Singhbhum, Jamshedpur- respondent no.1 to unseal the hotel premises, so that day to day business of the petitioner-Company and firms having their registered offices located at Alcor Hotel Premises could function in a regular manner. The copies of the said letters were also sent to other authorities, however, no action in this regard was taken. The petitioner also served a reminder vide letter dated 15th May, 2020 to the respondent no.1, however, the same was also not responded. Hence the present writ petition.[Para No.3]
To appreciate the rival submissions of learned counsel for the parties, it would be relevant to refer the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court rendered in the case of Nevada Properties Private Limited through its Directors vs. state of Maharashtra & Anr., reported in 2019 SCC Online SC 1247. The relevant paragraphs of the said judgment are quoted as under:-
"20. Section 102 postulates seizure of the property. Immovable property cannot, in its strict sense, be seized, though documents of title, etc. relating to immovable property can be seized, taken into custody and produced. Immovable property can be attached and also locked/sealed. It could be argued that the word 'seize' would include such action of attachment and sealing. Seizure of immovable property in this sense and manner would in law require dispossession of the person in occupation/possession of the immovable property, unless there are no claimants, which would be rare. Language of Section 102 of the Code does not support the interpretation that the police officer has the power to dispossess a person in occupation and take possession of an immovable property in order to seize it. In the absence of the Legislature conferring this express or implied power under Section 102 of the Code to the police officer, we would hesitate and not hold that this power should be inferred and is implicit in the power to effect seizure. Equally important, for the purpose of interpretation is the scope and object of Section 102 of the Code, which is to help and assist investigation and to enable the police officer to collect and collate evidence to be produced to prove the charge complained of and set up in the charge sheet. The Section is a part of the provisions concerning investigation undertaken by the police officer. After the charge sheet is filed, the prosecution leads and produces evidence to secure conviction. Section 102 is not, per se, an enabling provision by which the police officer acts to seize the property to do justice and to hand over the property to a person whom the police officer feels is the rightful and true owner. This is clear from the objective behind Section 102, use of the words in the Section and the scope and ambit of the power conferred on the Criminal Court vide Sections 451 to 459 of the Code. The expression 'circumstances which create suspicion of the commission of any offence' in Section 102 does not refer to a firm opinion or an adjudication/finding by a police officer to ascertain whether or not 'any property' is required to be seized. The word 'suspicion' is a weaker and a broader expression than 'reasonable belief' or 'satisfaction'. The police officer is an investigator and not an adjudicator or a decision maker.This is the reason why the Ordinance was enacted to deal with attachment of money and immovable properties in cases of scheduled offences. In case and if we allow the police officer to 'seize' immovable property on a mere 'suspicion of the commission of any offence', it would mean and imply giving a drastic and extreme power to dispossess etc. to the police officer on a mere conjecture and surmise, that is, on suspicion, which has hitherto not been exercised. We have hardly come across any case where immovable property was seized vide an attachment order that was treated as a seizure order by police officer under Section 102 of the Code. The reason is obvious. Disputes relating to title, possession, etc., of immovable property are civil disputes which have to be decided and adjudicated in Civil Courts. We must discourage and stall any attempt to convert civil disputes into criminal cases to put pressure on the other side (See Binod Kumar v. State of Bihar (2014)10SCC663). Thus, it will not be proper to hold that Section 102 of the Code empowers a police officer to seize immovable property, land, plots, residential houses, streets or similar properties. Given the nature of criminal litigation, such seizure of an immovable property by the police officer in the form of an attachment and dispossession would not facilitate investigation to collect evidence/material to be produced during inquiry and trial. As far as possession of the immovable property is concerned, specific provisions in the form of Sections 145 and 146 of the Code can be invoked as per and in accordance with law. Section 102 of the Code is not a general provision which enables and authorises the police officer to seize immovable property for being able to be produced in the Criminal Court during trial. This, however, would not bar or prohibit the police officer from seizing documents/papers of title relating to immovable property, as it is distinct and different from seizure of immovable property. Disputes and matters relating to the physical and legal possession and title of the property must be adjudicated upon by a Civil Court.
21. In view of the aforesaid discussion, the Reference is answered by holding that the power of a police officer under Section 102 of the Code to seize any property, which may be found under circumstances that create suspicion of the commission of any offence, would not include the power to attach, seize and seal an immovable property."[Para No.12]
The Hon'ble Supreme court in the aforesaid judgment has held that Section 102 Cr.P.C. postulates seizure of the property. However, an immovable property cannot, in its direct sense, be seized, though documents of title etc. relating to immovable properties can be seized, taken into custody and produced. Language of Section 102 Cr.P.C. does not support the interpretation that the police officer has the power to dispossess a person who is in occupation, to take possession of an immovable property in order to seize it.[Para No.13]
It is, thus, well settled that the power of sealing of property carries civil consequences. A person can be deprived of the property only by following due procedure in accordance with law. No person shall be deprived of the right of property, except by the procedure prescribed under law.[Para No.16]

Legal words: criminal, high court, lockdown, seizure
Accused is entitled for benefit of doubt when there is unexplained delay in forwarding seized article to the court
The alleged occurrence was on 15.11.2011. Ext.P8 property list shows that the seized substances were produced in the court only on 19.11.2011. The prosecution has not explained the reason for the delay in producing the seized substances, including the samples, before the court. It is not explained what prevented the detecting officer or the investigating officer to produce the seized articles in the court immediately after the seizure. In view of the unexplained delay in producing the seized articles before the court, tampering with such articles at the police station cannot be ruled out.[Para No.39]
There is also no reliable evidence as to who was having the custody of the seized articles till they were produced in the court and in what condition they were kept in the police station. PW3 has given evidence that the properties might have been kept in the police station during the period between 16.11.2011 to 18.11.2011 and they would have been in the custody of the Station Writer. But, the evidence of PW6 Circle Inspector, who conducted the investigation of the case on the date of occurrence, is that the properties were in the custody of PW3 Sub Inspector till they were produced in the court. He has stated that he had received the properties but he entrusted them with the Sub Inspector himself for producing them before the court.[Para No.40]
To put it in a nutshell, the unexplained delay in producing the seized substances before the court and absence of evidence as to how and in what condition the seized substances, including the samples, were kept in the police station till the date of their production in the court alongwith the circumstance that there is absence of evidence regarding the nature of the seal used by the detecting officer for sealing the sample packets, create doubt as to whether seizure of the substances was effected from the accused in the manner alleged by the prosecution. The benefit of that doubt shall be given to the accused.[Para No.45]
Legal words: benefit of doubt, criminal, delay, high court, seizure

Felinheli medical centre officially opened
State of the art building
Daniel BissettDigital Producer
Cllr Sian Gwenllian opens the new Felinheli surgery
A NEW £2m medical centre celebrated its official opening last week.
The surgery in Felinheli was completed by Warrington Assura Group in partnership with Pwllheli firm Amcen Cyfyngedig.
The 8,395 sq ft development provides a state of the art premises for Dr McCann and Partners to work out of, along with workers from the Betsi Cadwaladr Local Health Board who are also taking up space in the building.
Politicians, councillors and dignitaries got their first glimpse of the completed facility, which has been built on land off the village's Beach Road, last Thursday.
Felinheli councillor Sian Gwenllian, who cut the ribbon declaring the surgery officially open, said: "I have been closely involved with this project and it was an honour to be asked to officially open the splendid state-of-the-art facilities at Felinheli.
"The new building provides a high quality environment for staff and patients alike."
The building is situated on a greenfield site overlooking the Menai Strait and includes service rooms, a reception, consultation rooms, and space for health visitors and nurses as well as parking for 14 members of staff, 21 visitors, three disabled parking bays, and three emergency services parking spaces.
The surgery, which provides space for around 40 employees, has incorporated several eco-friendly features into its design such as rainwater harvesting system and ground source heating.
Amanda Roddy, development manager at Assura Group, said: "Operating from out of date stock is still an issue for many GP practices across the country, but the Felinheli health centre is a fantastic example of how premises can be both well-designed, efficient and fit for purpose."
Dr Peter Jones, of Dr Jones and Partners said: "We're delighted to see the completion of our new health centre.
"As we expand our practice within Felinheli the delivery of the highest quality healthcare experience is essential, and the new building will help us to achieve that."
Mark Roberts, of Amcen Cyfyngedig, said: "The whole project has gone very smoothly, and it's rewarding to see the scheme completed".

Fort Schlosser was a fortification built in Western New York in the United States around 1760 by British Colonial forces, in order to guard the upper entrance to the portage around Niagara Falls, north of Porter-Barton Dock or Schlosser's Landing along the shoreline with the Niagara River.

The fort was named for its first commander, Captain Joseph Schlosser of the Royal American Regiment of Foot, a practice that was common in the British Army.

Facilities
The fort consisted of a wood stockade with several structures within:
 2 storehouses
 Living Quarters for Officers and Soldiers

Four cannons provided protection for the fort.

Replacement
The fort replaced Fort Petite Niagara or Fort du Portage, a small fortification built by the French (Daniel-Marie Chabert de Joncaire) which was burned by the retreating French prior to the Siege of Fort Niagara in 1759. The Old Stone Chimney from Fort Little Niagara was incorporated into Fort Schlosser. Fort Grey guarded the end of the portage in Lewiston, NY. Fort Niagara guards the mouth of the Niagara where it flows into Lake Ontario.

Fort Schlosser was occupied by American troops at the start of the War of 1812, but was captured in 1813 and burned.  The fort was located in present-day Niagara Falls, New York in what is now Niagara County, New York, near the current water intakes for the New York Power Authority off of the Robert Moses Parkway.  Today, all that remains is the Old Stone Chimney, which was moved to near the intersection of Buffalo Avenue and the Robert Moses Parkway traffic circle.

How Leaders Make Failure Their Friend
By John Maxwell | August 13, 2019 | 11
What's your definition of the word "failure"? For some people, failure is a mistake of any kind. For others, failure is missing a set goal. For still others, failure is a constant state of being, a way of thinking about themselves and the world. For leaders, failure is different. J. Wallace Hamilton wrote, "The increase…

Think You're Ready for Success? Prepare To Be Disappointing
Leaders who transform their neighborhoods, businesses, and communities have an unshakable sense of purpose.

Conor McGregor Has Bulked Up to 86kg, and He Looks Absolutely Jacked
It's been five months since Conor McGregor suffered a leg break in his trilogy fight with Dustin "The Diamond" Poirier, and if the Irishman's Instagram is anything to go by, he's determined to avenge the defeat and regain a fight-night-ready physique as quickly as possible.
Having been left in a cast for months afterwards following the gruesome break of his fibula and tibia, the former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion has been ramping up his workout regimen as of late in a bid to get back to top physical shape.
Ever since the leg break in July, "The Notorious" has been posting frequent training updates during the rehabilitation process. Right now, the focal point of McGregor's sessions are centred on adding mass – we've seen him ripping through weighted pull-ups, preacher curls, and dumbbell bench presses on the grid. (continued below)
His hard work is clearly paying off. In a recent Tweet, the 33-year-old claimed to be "190lbs of granite" – that's 86kg, surely by far the heaviest McGregor has been – and there's no denying he's looking absolutely jacked. When you consider he clocked in at 156lbs (70kg) for the trilogy fight with Poirier, it's pretty remarkable.
At this rate, McGregor is going to be in peak condition by the time he returns to the Octagon – slated for the first half of 2022, potentially as soon as April. Prospective opponents include a fourth bout with Poirier and a face-off against welterweight king Kamaru Usman – but only time will tell whether he'll seek to pursue a championship win in a third weight class.
"He's doing a lot of strength training at the moment," said McGregor's coach, John Kavanagh. "The guy is jacked. I think he's coming back as a middleweight! But he'll be back on the mats with me now shortly and we'll start off with combat sports training again."

Credit Suisse boss Horta-Osorio quits over Covid breaches
Banker breached quarantine rules to attend Wimbledon tennis tournament
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -European Union countries broadly agree they need to change EU laws to allow slower debt reduction, move away from complex calculated indicators and come up with an EU fiscal framework that is actually respected, senior euro zone officials said. The EU's fiscal rules, called the Stability and Growth Pact, are to stop governments borrowing too much to safeguard the value of the euro. The rules are now under review because the COVID-19 pandemic boosted EU public debt so much that existing laws can no longer apply, while fighting climate change requires enormous investment over decades that many argue should be reflected in EU laws.
Unilever faces £14bn hurdle to sweeten Glaxo bid

Unilever's offer for GSK's consumer health raises doubts, questions over strategy
Unilever faces a dilemma after its 50 billion pound ($68 billion) offer for GlaxoSmithKline's consumer healthcare assets was rejected -- should it raise the bid and risk overpaying or seek another route to expand in healthcare? The bid for GSK's assets, including Sensodyne toothpaste and Advil painkillers, comes as Unilever is dealing with steep inflation and sluggish growth in emerging markets, where it derives 60% of its revenues. Analysts said digesting GSK's consumer health assets at a price of over 50 billion pounds in cash and stock, would nearly triple Unilever's leverage towards 5.6 times in the first year from 2 times net debt to EBITDA currently.


The cosmos is fantastic. Such beauty lie in such basic features as the craters of our own gray moon, constantly hanging in the sky and freaking me out.
This picture may not look so different from many other fantastic Moon photos out there, not to mention the Chinese moon map I wrote about last month, but click it for a higher resolution (3886 x 4576) and you'll see a fantastic view, a view to truly silence the heavens. The picture is a mosaic of 107 different pictures taken by André van der Hoeven. Support him, go buy the picture as a poster.
And yeah, I got the tip from Phil Plait's blog. Follow it for more fantastic pictures, news and thoughts on astronomy.


For the most part, I'd have to say that the Irregular Miniatures fantasy line has a certain degree of crudeness about them. They are on the large side of 15mm, and have the proportions, if not the height of 20mm figures.
Poses for the Amazons are fairly static. These random singles were purchased from Eureka Miniatures. They include Amazon with Spear (FWM2), Amazon with Sword (FWM1), and Amazon with Bow (FWM4). I'm not sure if Eureka gets these miniatures from Irregular, or if they have a license to produce them on their own, but the metal has the flat white(ish) appearance of other Eureka figures.
The remaining figures came in sets purchased from Silver Eagle Wargame Supplies. The packs come with 10 to 12 figures, and are made with a more shiny type of metal. The three poses of the Amazon Foot Command (FWM8) include the Standard Bearer, Officer, and Musician in a number of different variations. Unfortunately, one of the Standard Bearers was cast without a hand and the lower half of her banner pole.
Variant figures differ by the addition of capes, shields, and spikes on their helmets; or with changes in weapons, or headgear as exemplified by the Armoured Amazon with Halberd (FWM5). The figure to the far right is similar to the Amazon with Axe (FWM3), which is not shown because I got mixed up about which poses I had of the Amazons, so I never ordered it. I found the sculpt for the face of this particular variant to be quite nice, which is what made me decide to buy the Amazons in the first place.
Finally there is the Dark Elf Witch with Sword (FDE5). This scuplt is not as nice as that of the Amazons. The anatomy of the chestal region looks particularly suspect. Again, variants differ by the addition of capes, shields, etc. I'm not sure if the packs contain examples of every single variant, but it seems that Irregular could create a near infinite number of variants of poses using this technique.
