Afghanistan Earthquake: Scores Feared Dead In Baghlan Province After Landslides
By Rahim Faiez and Heidi Vogt
As many as 100 people are feared dead in an earthquake and landslide that buried more than 20 houses in northern Afghanistan on Monday, officials said.
Rescuers have so far pulled two women's bodies from the rubble of the landslide in Baghlan province, said provincial Gov. Abdul Majid. The U.N. confirmed one other death and said houses were destroyed across five districts.
A massive landslide of mud and rocks buried houses so deep in the remote mountain village of Sayi Hazara that rescuers gave up trying to use shovels to dig through the buried buildings, said Jawed Basharat, a spokesman for the provincial police chief who was part of a team that examined the village after the slide. There were no visible signs of the buildings underneath.
"We need bulldozers or other machinery to remove all this earth and get the bodies out, or the survivors if there are any," Basharat said.
They knew how many houses were buried only from information provided by area residents, who said between 25 and 30 houses disappeared in the landslide.
An earthquake measuring a magnitude 5.4 struck the Hindu Kush region Monday morning, followed by a 5.7 quake, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Both were felt as far away as the Afghan capital, Kabul, where buildings shook.
Baghlan province's Burka district, the site of the landslide, is a remote collection of mountain villages. It takes more than two hours to drive the approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the provincial capital of Pul-e-Khumri to the area.
The police led a team of rescue workers and medics from Pul-e-Khumri, but discovered on arrival that they could be of little use. The handful of people who survived the landslide had already been driven to clinics.
"The ambulances were there, but there was no one to put in the ambulances," Basharat said.
The U.N. said in a statement that it was working with local authorities to try to help in the rescue effort but did not provide details. Basharat said the police team was the only group to arrive on Monday, and they returned to Pul-e-Khumri when they realized there was nothing they could do.

In the hospital sports facilities, our physical education teachers design a programme of activities based on the functional diversity of the people who participate in them.
With a comprehensive therapeutic purpose, both physical activity and the practice of sport allow our patients improve their physical fitness and healthy habits, while obtaining multiple psychological and social benefits.
Fitness is used as an activity for improving fitness by performing cardiovascular work with static and elliptical trainers, as well as toning and muscle strengthening using fitness machines, weighted bars, dumbbells or elastic bands.
In these sessions, taking advantage of the physical characteristics of the water, all basic aspects of physical education, such as strength, endurance, flexibility and muscle tone, are worked on. In addition, breathing, propulsion and flotation are improved through activities including games, movements accompanied by music or circuits.
Through play and other stimulating activities, we can improve the core competencies of our paediatric patients, with a different approach from usual and using fun as a driver of significant overall learning.
Physical education seeks, above all, to propose activities that prepare children with disabilities to function in their immediate context, so that carrying out these sessions facilitates their inclusion in school. The nature of the game favours proximity to the teaching content and students instantly perceive the benefits of participation in activities.
Hospital physical education is part of therapeutic treatment to improve both conditional and coordination capacities such as psychological and relational abilities. By giving patients a greater degree of functional independence and bringing them closer to the sport, they achieve healthy habits that can be maintained once the rehabilitation period has ended.

One of quite possibly the most common electrical wiring thoughts is on how to wire a change. Whilst working with switches in your own home is very effortless, wiring 1 may well not be that easy for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will discover different types of switches, but for this example, let us say that you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an extremely common swap (and also the most basic).
You will discover 3 shades of wires inside a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and connect them about the terminal screws - just one on best as well as other within the base screw on the swap. The white wire serves as being a supply of uninterrupted electric power and it is commonly connected into a gentle colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the inexperienced wire to your ground screw within your swap.
These techniques would commonly be enough to produce a typical switch perform without a difficulty. However, in the event you are not confident that you choose to can complete the undertaking adequately and properly you superior permit the pros get it done in its place. Just after all, you will find a reason why this job has become the most typical electrical wiring queries asked by plenty of people.
For many reason, how you can wire a ceiling fan can also be amongst probably the most common electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this undertaking, you need to use only one switch for your single ceiling fan. To wire the lover, it's merely a make any difference of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan to the black wire in the switch. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire must be connected to your black wire on the change too.
There are actually motives why they're the most normally requested electrical wiring questions. A single, quite a few assume it is really uncomplicated to perform, and two, these are generally the popular electrical duties in the home. But then you definitely shouldn't place your security at risk in the purpose to save cash. The stakes could even be a lot bigger if you make an effort to get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring career devoid of enough information or practical experience.

The Unbearable lightheartedness of Apologetic Lunacy
Their logic goes like this: in response to the filmed clip in which a Lt. Col of the IDF is seen hitting a foreign anarchist with the magazine of his M-16, the officer is immediately suspended from duty, coupled with across the board condemnation by the Chief of Staff and other senior officers in the Central Command, so as to prevent a public relations crisis. They will claim that it's better to stop and do the right thing in terms of PR so as to minimize the fallout and damage that could have resulted from this kind of isolated event. They will claim that an apology is in order so as not to stain all of Israel. All this because of a five-second-long video segment
The current duo at the head of Israel's Defense establishment, I.D.F. Chief of Staff Benny Gantz, and the current Minister of Defense Ehud Barak, had both held similar senior positions and where responsible for adopting a position of appeasement and abandoning soldiers under fire in the past, then the ending was much more tragic. In the year 2000, during the 2nd War of Terror ( "Intifada El Aksa") I as a medical staff officer and under the command of General Gantz, then the Commander of IDF forces in Judea and Samaria, having a first hand glimpse as to how senior military commander place political considerations above all other considerations. Gantz and Barak refrained from giving the order to rescue a squad of soldiers besieged in the Tomb of Joseph compound that had been destroyed and surrounded by hundreds of armed Palestinian terrorists and PA irregular soldiers. In response to their inaction, one of the soldiers, a Druze, CorporalMadhat Yusuf, bled to death, in addition to six other soldiers killed by the armed mob over a period of almost 24 hours. All this despite two columns of IDF tanks on standby within spitting distance of the Tomb of Joseph and being able to reach and rescue the trapped soldiers within 30 minutes.
The main issue at hand is not the actual event, the fact that the Palestinian Arab and European anarchists accompanying them were in violation of entering a closed military area, or the fact that the Lt. Col. was recorded and filmed being hit by the anarchist himself who had attacked the I.D.F. officer just prior to the filmed incident by the demonstrators and threatened with a knife, resulting in him being physically injured requiring medical attention, are all irrelevant to the main issue. The rationale behind the fallacious and demeaning logic that argues that the only important measure of a successful response to those that openly seek to destroy Israel as the homeland of the Jewish nation is by ignoring provocations and winning the PR war is a sure recipe for inviting the next Goldstone Report. By not responding we are reinforcing the belief among those committed to destroying Israel that they can continue provoking I.D.F. officers. They can continue and initiate provocations similar to the Marmora flotilla with full immunity knowing that Israel is afraid of losing the PR war and will blame itself at worst, and vindicate the provocateurs at best.
Is this inclination to exploit the natural tolerance of the people of Israel by placating the anti-Israel coalition throughout the world really based on a well thought out policy for the nation or is it simply a convenient response on the part of aspiring military and political leaders who for personal gain want to maintain their "politically correct " relationships with leaders and philanthropists of American Jewry who maintain a political agenda that espouses the belief that as far as Israel and Israeli Jews are concerned we have become an ethnic group unworthy of ever being right or justified in how we react to Palestinian Arab terror. Israelis simply do not fit in to this group's understanding of how Jews should be portrayed.
The American-Jewish liberal mindset likes its Jews portrayed as Holocaust victims or as soul-searching soldiers in movies such as "Beaufort" or "Waltzing with Bashir," but never ever as determined and tenacious citizens and soldiers of a potent military power that does what is necessary to maintain its deterrence against Arab rejection of Israel as the home of the Jewish Nation. The problem with strong, courageous, forceful, and resilient Israeli Jews and I.D.F. officers in particular is that they are not identifiable as Jews at all to them. They want their Jews palatable and morally superior so as to make their own lives as supporters of Israel a non-conflictual relationship.
The main issue has to do with whether or not our military and political leaders should show restraint in the face of provocation. This attitude of patient endurance rather than infliction of injury on our enemies so as not to invite world media condemnation has become a strategic liability. This readiness to refrain from action, empowering those that are part of the red-green alliance between Islamists and the radical Left, openly supporting terror against Israel must end now. Israel must stop from being the only country in the world that grants freedom of action to those who openly seek to destroy it.Today as Israel notes Holocaust Remembrance day, the notion of Jews responding weakly to provocations should stir among our military leaders a natural inclination to remain steadfast and unrelenting. Unfortunately, this is not the case as we have all witnessed in the passed week.
Albert Einstein has been quoted stating that "Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results." It seems that it times we the Jewish people keep making the same mistakes over and over giving our enemies the impetus to continue and elevating apologetic lunacy to policy.
The following also a quote attributed to Einstein, I think it reflects much of what has transpired in recent days: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

The room had nothing to do with the pictures. It was a room for 3 while we ordered a room for 4. Because we complained, we ended up with a very small room (bunk double bed). The floor was so dirty that we had to wear slippers all the time. Really not worth the price.
The only thing we liked is the rooftop terrasse.
Bathroom smelled a bit, but no worries.
The facilities are poor. Strong smell in the bathroom and very little water pressure in the shower. Rather chilly in the room, too! Not ideal in -10 degrees.
Noisy. Bit of a walk. Very basic. Not great facilities but cheap and cheerful. A better familiarisation of the area etc would have been helpful. Inorrectly directed to the not so convenient metro only to find a closer better connected one the next day.
Some things not entirely working, but nothing extraordinarly necessary either.
Comfortable and nice room, very cosy place.
To get to the shared toilet and shower you need to go outside. An issue at night and when it is raining. The doors to the toilet and shower are glass. Not clear glass, I think it was sand blasted. But at night with lights in the shower, it is very embarrasing watching the silhouette of the person in the shower from the meeting room about a metre away. Even more embarassing taking a shower.
Fairly expensive for not having a bathroom. My room was a bit odd since it was written as a single room but had a bunk bed and lockers when I got there. I was alone though.
.bed sheets were not changed and not very clean. Not a calm hostel.
Very helpful stuff. Provided help when needed and trying their best to communicate. Very nice location about 8 min walk to subway station. The neighborhood is very cute and the Hostel has a very unique architecture.
The staff was helpful. but the great wall tour package offer by them was expensive then other.
This property was nothing like what the pictures show. Do not stay here.
Position not bad, but it does require a decent walk or taxi. Room not the cleanist I have seen.
Seemed a quiet location. Staff were helpful. Was good to have the option of my own room.
Bed bugs. Room dirty and not well maintained.
Friendly staff, supermarket close by.


One of the solitary crucial concepts in company is the sales funnel. Sales funnels can increase your earnings online by automating your service. They provide a path of the very least resistance to expanding as well as scaling your company on auto-pilot. But after hanging around with a few of the globe's finest online marketers, I can tell you with near assurance, not just how sales funnels will certainly enable you to make even more money online, but which certain funnels you should execute.
Currently, if you're anything like me, you may be averse to specific funnels. For example, I'm never an e-commerce man, but I do recognize that free-plus-shipping funnels are definitely squashing it. As a matter of fact, just this past week, while attending the Closing Table Mastermind with Perry Belcher and also Roland Frasier, I got extra insight into the alluring "tripwire" funnel, allegedly coined by Perry Belcher.
Nevertheless, Belcher didn't develop the principle. He attracted that from an old Columbia House ad that offered 13 CDs or tapes for the big price of $1.00. Remember it? However we all recognize that this tempting deal (aka tripwire) had means a lot more to it than simply the $1.00 price tag. In the background, there was a continuity program at the workplace. In Columbia House's' design, this was called unfavorable alternative invoicing. That implies, you instantly obtain regular month-to-month deliveries (along with a costs) unless you expressly specify or else.
So why is this so powerful and also what does it relate to sales funnels? In fact, what you'll notice is that Columbia House's sales funnel was fairly simple. You simply picked the CDs or tapes you wanted for a dollar, then got a routine month-to-month shipment every single month at a pre-defined price. They would continuously bill you for those CDs or tapes every month. There were variations of this offer too where you might get 11 CDs or tapes for one cent after that obtain the 12th free.
In either case you consider it, these were all alluring offers. This was also excellent to miss. But what Columbia House and various other business understood was that, although they would certainly lose cash out of the gate, they would certainly, usually, with time, make money hand over initially. And that is the power of the sales funnel. Before automation, this is how sales funnels functioned. As well as, if you called, you would certainly obtain a live individual properly walking you via the funnel.
The Columbia House instance provides deep understanding into the psychology of a deal that's alluring. By very first identifying the life time worth of a consumer and their retention rate, Columbia House identified that it might spend a certain quantity of loan obtaining customers and also still be very successful. That's basically what's finished with sales funnels today. And also what really makes those sales funnels so powerful are tripwires.
Today, it's the tripwire that produces the alluring offer. Although Columbia House really did not quite have significant up-sells or down-sells in their funnels, they produced an easy two step funnel that worked. It functioned due to the fact that the tripwire was so appealing. It appealed deeply to the customer. After all, how can you withstand a deal like that for 12 or 13 CDs or tapes for $1 or 1 cent when they were retailing at around $10 each at the time.
An additional effective instance of this was via Sports Illustrated. As a matter of fact, Sports Illustrated was successfully on the decline at the time it introduced its advanced tripwire. There's something concerning substantial products that individuals simply get in touch with. Also when you're offering an electronic information product on the back end, by sweetening the deal with a tangible great, you can rather actually send your conversions through the roof.
In the example of Sports Illustrated, take yourself back to 1990 when publication subscription prices were beginning to leave. In that period, Sports Illustrated suffered a 7% decrease in their circulation in the initial fifty percent of the year. Now, regardless of what they did, they were not able to obtain the subscription prices up. Even by offering deep discount rates on memberships, customers weren't getting it. Plus, if they marked down also outstanding, it would certainly impact their capability to obtain advertisers paying costs prices without revealing that customers were paying near to the full cover price of the publication.
Sports Illustrated, owned by Time, Inc., wasn't the only publication that was suffering under the company's umbrella. Individuals magazine had also experienced a serious decrease of 5%. Time, Inc., recognized that it required to do something fast. So it started to use a tripwire that consisted of sports mistakes on VHS. Nevertheless, the cost was outrageous as well as there were only so many mistakes it can provide. So, they turned to the football phone as the brand-new tripwire.
Why the football phone? Initially, it appealed to the target audience. As well as, it was unique and also interesting. Much more amazing than a boring publication subscription. The football-shaped phone principle was conceived by Sports Illustrated's supervisor of flow at the time, Michael Loeb. Back then, advertising and marketing on cord was also very cost-effective. Plus, the phone, which was sourced from China, just cost a couple of dollars "landed". So everything made good sense.
Loeb dealt with the logistics of this offer for lots of months. Nonetheless, that wasn't the only offer. They additionally devised a deal that contained a tennis shoe phone. If you'll think back to 1990-1991, it was both supplies that were running virtually concurrently. Talk about an early-on split-test, right?
So, what were the outcomes of all this? Over 1 million new clients. That's right. And those deals only ran for a limited time. But it properly saved the firm. That's the power of a tripwire offer. It's a tangible product that gets people thrilled concerning whatever else the core offer is. Actually, some people will just purchase what you're selling solely for the novelty of the tangible tripwire deal.
Sales funnels are just one of the single most powerful principles in business today for a really certain factor. It's not simply the example of the tripwire that's powerful. It's the whole kittycat caboodle, in a manner of speaking. There are numerous components as well as elements to what make a sales funnel work so well that I wanted to break it down and also provide some even more instances to provide a deeper understanding to just how you can utilize them to boost your income online.
Currently, if you're not using a sales funnel right now, or if you're just uncovering what a sales funnel is, after that there are a few methods you can rapidly utilize this effective idea in your business to develop eruptive outcomes. Firstly, if you don't have a ClickFunnels account, go below and also sign up for the 14-day totally free test. As soon as you've arrangement your account, get a customized domain name and also begin developing your funnel. If you need aid, see several of the on-boarding videos included with ClickFunnels.
It does not matter if you have an existing service or you're working to setup a brand-new business, funnels are the secret to growing and also scaling regardless of where you're starting from. Nevertheless, there are 5 certain methods you can use sales funnels to raise your revenue right now. It matters not what company you're in or what you're selling, you can take advantage of these today, right now, to develop explosive outcomes.
At the Inner Circle mastermind this week, Russell Brunson studied the hook-story-offer technique that comes before building the funnel. Can you construct a sales funnel prior to you have a hook and a story? Yes. Yet you might have difficulty gaining traction, specifically if you're competing in a red sea. Red seas are entrepreneur-infested waters completing for the very same pool of consumers, whereas blue oceans are a location where couple of entrepreneurs are swimming in.
What does that inform you? Invest the moment responsible as well as the story. Yes, the offer is likewise crucial. However it's the hook as well as the story that's mosting likely to reel prospects in. As an example, Brunson made use of the story of fit-to-fat-to-fat owner, Drew Manning. Manning, that was in terrific shape, headed out there and gained a lot of weight over a 6 month duration to much better recognize what it feels like to be fat. But then he headed out there as well as shed all the weight.
That right there is an extraordinary hook and also tale. It's distinct. And also, because of that, Manning has experienced a meteoric rise, even though his offer isn't that good. Yet when the hook as well as the story is so excellent, the offer is almost unimportant. Successfully, you can sell just about anything when the hook and the tale simply crush it. One more example is the tale of Robert Allen that would certainly always claim he can be dropped in any kind of city in the nation and purchase a residence no loan down within 60 days. Which's specifically what he did. His brand name has corrected a billion bucks in sales due to it.
Those are all fantastic hooks as well as stories. Without that, your offer will struggle. If you can generate an unique method to produce your hook as well as story, the remainder will certainly fall into place. Because there is so much red ocean available, this is possibly one of the most important points to make before you release any kind of sales funnel.
Tripwires are excellent low-barrier-of-entry items that make potential customers whip out their bank card. Often, these are too-good-to-pass-up products that are supplied at an amazing rate. Just think of the tripwire used by Columbia House or Sports Illustrated, for example. Tripwires aid make it simpler to acquire brand-new customers, and then to rise them up your value ladder.
Anything that makes customer purchase harder, such as a costly services or product out of the gate, is going to make growing and also scaling your organisation harder. The reality is that it costs 5 times as a lot to draw in a brand-new client as it does to maintain an existing one. That's why tripwires are so powerful. They lower the barrier-of-entry into your company. And anything that can reduce the obstacle of entry is always excellent.
One more wonderful method to launch a sales funnel and easily raise your earnings regardless of what service you're in is through a lead magnet. The lead magnet requires to add real value. However it can be in different styles such as a PDF ebook, checklist, rip off sheet and so forth. After the download, you can supply an one-time offer. This means a three-step funnel. You can additionally develop an up-sell if they take the one-time deal or perhaps a payment-plan down-sell if they deny it.
Why do a lead magnet with lots of value? First, you're establishing on your own up as an expert. If that web content is really workable, and also it includes an enormous amount of worth to the possibility's life, after that they're mosting likely to regard you as the authority. Yet it does something even more than that. It's a matter of micro-commitments. The concept? Get somebody to agree to do three tiny things for you and the fourth one is instantly a yes.
Among the most powerful sales funnels you can construct is based around the webinar. In fact, it was the webinar that saved Brunson's business from personal bankruptcy a couple of times. It was a mix as well as conclusion of expertise that result in the excellent webinar script, which produces the basis for the best sales funnel. Several of it came from Jason Fladlien, while other items came from in other places in Brunson's trip.
Nevertheless, all that info combined into the format of an ideal webinar as well as funnel, has essentially transformed the businesses of many business owners who have actually taken their expertise and also monetized it with the exponential pressure of webinars. Developing a webinar is one of the surest paths to success with a sales funnel. As a matter of fact, the webinar funnel is rather perhaps one of the most transformative funnel you might release for any type of business, new or old.
Another way to enhance your income with a sales funnel is to construct a high-ticket training funnel that goes from application to call to shut.
The application enables you to remove those who aren't serious. And also, on the call, you can seal the deal. Now, this type of sales funnel works if you've already had results with customers. Otherwise, benefit cost-free till you get outcomes for people. After that, collect reviews as well as utilize those as part of the pitch for the coaching.
Most likely one of the most significant and most preferred sales funnels nowadays is the free-plus-shipping deal funnel. It makes a great entrance point into any funnel by developing an one-time offer or up-sell after the offer, comparable to a tripwire funnel. Nevertheless, the distinction below is the power of the word complimentary. Yes, tripwires, which are extremely low-priced products or services, function well. But there is genuine power in the word complimentary.
In fact, individuals will jump up and down for a totally free offer, even if they have to cover the delivery and also handling, as opposed to taking a deal that they also need to pay a little amount of money for.

4% of HS Students in Florida admit to using steroids!
Students across the country continue to report high usage levels of anabolic steroids. And our nation continues to do almost NOTHING about the problem. Newspapers in Florida are reporting on this troubling trend. They report that about 4% of students admit to having used steroids. That's almost one child in every high school classroom in Florida! The only thing administrators appear to be considering is testing. We've found that testing alone is NOT the answer. We're reaching out to Florida leadership to see if we can offer our experience to help them address this problem. Don
Special Report: No funds to test for steroids
Story by John Evenson / CBS 12 News PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — Is enough being done to fight rise of steroid use in Palm Beach County High Schools? The use of steroids is on the rise in Palm Beach County compared to National trends and the rest of Florida according the the Centers for Disease and Prevention. While 3.9 percent of high schoolers in Palm Beach County had taken steroid pills or shots without a doctor's prescription in 2007 according to their high school youth risk behavior survey, that percentage rose to 4.7 percent in 2011, compared to 3.7 percent for the rest of Florida overall. "I know many kids who have been on steroids and different kinds of things," said one high school football player to CBS12 at practice this week," it's definitely in high school sports for sure." "Obviously it's an issue," says Palm Beach Central Head Football Coach Rod Harris, "it's a concern for every coach every parent for every school." The Palm Beach County School District used to test students for drugs, but have since stopped because of lack of funding. It's a program they'd like to get back. "We want to ensure our students are healthy and safe," says Palm Beach County School Board assistant superintendant Keith Oswald, "so if we can help identify those students and get them support and have a healthier life and a better outlook to their futures, absolutely that's where we want to go." The Florida High School Athletics Association recently launched a top to bottom review of existing policies to try and stop the apparent rising use of PED's. In the meantime, private schools like Jupiter Christian have taken it upon themselves to to their own drug testing, and so far the football program has been clean. "I really think it's more prevalent even today than it was just a couple years ago," says Jupiter Christian Head Football Coach, "so when you see easy results …That doesn't mean that those kids don't work hard in the weight room but again they're getting results that the normal kids aren't getting ..I can see why it would be an issue." That's the bad part about Alex Rodriguez and anybody else in the limelight is the kids look up to those guys," says Seminole Ridge Head Football Coach Scott Barnwell, "and they see the and they're like wow that's what it takes to get to that level, and you just have to tell them for every Rodriguez there are still hundreds and hundreds of guys who have done it the right way."

The latest iteration of the Rules of Golf, which went into effect Jan. 1, have received a mostly positive reception in rollout, save for one new guideline—Rule 10.2b(4): Restriction on Caddie Standing Behind Player. As was originally constructed, the rule specified that from the time a player "begins to take a stance for the stroke" until the stroke is made, a caddie "must not deliberately stand on or close to an extension of the line of play behind the ball for any reason." This item has drawn ridicule in consecutive weeks on the European and PGA Tours.
Haotong Li was the first high-profile victim at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. A European Tour rules official deemed Li's caddie in violation of the rule on the final hole of the tournament, and the two-stroke penalty cost Li close to $100,000. Video replay, however, put this penalty into question, as Li did not appear to be into his stance when the penalty was assessed. It led European Tour CEO Keith Pelley to call out the R&A for the rule, remarking it was "grossly unfair." For its part, the R&A stood by the new rule, asserting there is "no discretionary element to the rule precisely so that it is easier to understand and can be applied consistently."
"The purpose of Rule 10.2 is to reinforce the fundamental challenge of making a stroke and to limit the advice and other help a player may receive during a round," the entities said in a statement. "Rule 10.2b(4) ensures that aiming at the intended target is a challenge that the player must overcome alone."

Shereen and her mentee have been together for about 2 and a half years. Academically, her mentee struggles with math, so Shereen took it upon her to find tutoring services and other after school help. Together, they work through the tough problems, sometimes getting frustrated, but never giving up.
Her mentee was referred not only for her academic struggles, but also for behavioral issues, social skills, peer relations, and self-esteem. With all this in mind, Shereen could have felt overwhelmed from the beginning, and could have given up when she saw little progress in the first 6 months. But she didn't. She continued to prove to this little girl that she mattered in this world and that she could accomplish anything she set her mind to. Her mentee finally came to understand that Shereen in fact, was there to support and encourage her. Her home life had not always taught her that, as her parents were often occupied with other difficulties.
Shereen also extends her learning by attending on-going mentor trainings and program activities. She has also volunteered to help further by joining a fundraising committee as a part of the "Taking Kids Off the Fence" campaign.
Thank you, Shereen, for all that you do! We greatly appreciate you!

Q: Use AutoMapper for adding, updating and removing items in List Does AutoMapper not have a native approach to updating of nested lists where the instances need to be removed, added or updated?
I am using AutoMapper in my ASP.Net Core application with EF Core to map my API resources to my models.  This has been working fine for most of my application, but I am not pleased with my solution for updating mapped nested lists where the listed instances need to persist.  I don't want to overwrite the existing list, I want to delete instances that are no longer in my incoming resource, add new instances, and update existing instances.
The models:
public class MainObject
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public List<SubItem> SubItems { get; set; }

}

public class SubItem
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public int MainObjectId { get; set; }
    public MainObject MainObject { get; set; }
    public double Value { get; set; }
}

The resources:
public class MainObjectResource
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public ICollection<SubItemResource> SubItems { get; set; }

}

public class SubItemResource
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public double Value { get; set; }
}

The controller:
public class MainController : Controller
{
    private readonly IMapper mapper;
    private readonly IMainRepository mainRepository;
    private readonly IUnitOfWork unitOfWork;

    public MainController(IMapper mapper, IMainRepository mainRepository, IUnitOfWork unitOfWork)
    {
        this.mapper = mapper;
        this.mainRepository = mainRepository;
        this.unitOfWork = unitOfWork;
    }

    [HttpPut("{id}")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> UpdateMain(int id, [FromBody] MainObjectResource mainObjectResource)
    {
        MainObject mainObject = await mainRepository.GetMain(id);
        mapper.Map<MainObjectResource, MainObject>(mainObjectResource, mainObjectResource);
        await unitOfWork.CompleteAsync();

        return Ok();
    }
}

The mapping profile:
public class MappingProfile : Profile
{
    public MappingProfile()
    {
        CreateMap<MainObject, MainObjectResource>();
        CreateMap<SubItem, SubItemResource>();

        CreateMap<MainObject, MainObjectResource>().ReverseMap()
        .ForMember(m => m.Id, opt => opt.Ignore())
        .ForMember(m => m.SubItems, opt => opt.Ignore())
        .AfterMap((mr, m) => {
                //To remove
                List<MainObject> removedSubItems = m.SubItems.Where(si => !mr.SubItems.Any(sir => si.Id == sir.Id)).ToList();
                foreach (SubItem si in removedSubItems)
                    m.SubItems.Remove(si);
                //To add
                List<SubItemResource> addedSubItems = mr.SubItems.Where(sir => !m.SubItems.Any(si => si.Id == sir.Id)).ToList();
                foreach (SubItemResource sir in addedSubItems)
                    m.SubItems.Add( new SubItem {
                        Value = sir.Value,
                    });
                // To update
                List<SubItemResource> updatedSubItems = mr.SubItems.Where(sir => m.SubItems.Any(si => si.Id == sir.Id)).ToList();
                SubItem subItem = new SubItem();
                foreach (SubItemResource sir in updatedSubItems)
                {
                    subItem = m.SubItems.SingleOrDefault(si => si.Id == sir.Id);
                    subItem.Value = sir.Value;
                }
            });
    }
}

What I am doing here is a custom mapping, but I feel this is such a generic case that I expect AutoMapper to be able to handle this by some extension.  I have seen some examples where the mapping profile uses a custom mapping (.AfterMap), but then the actual mapping is done by a static instance of AutoMapper.  I am not sure if that is appropriate for my use of AutoMapper through dependency injection: I am not an experienced programmer but it doesn't seem sound to me.

A: Thanks to Ivan Stoev I started looking at AutoMapper.Collection, which is really the extension I had hoped to find.  After implementing my lists get updated as I had wanted to.  The configuration is straightforward in my usage as I only have to specify the Id of my objects.
My startup configuration is changed to:
using AutoMapper;
using AutoMapper.EquivalencyExpression;
[....]
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddAutoMapper(cfg => {
                cfg.AddCollectionMappers();
                });
        }
[....]

And my mapping profile:
    CreateMap<SubItem, SubItemResource>().ReverseMap()
        .EqualityComparison((sir, si) => sir.Id == si.Id);

A: This is a problem more difficult to solve than it would seem on the surface. It's easy enough for you to do custom mapping of your lists, because you know your application; AutoMapper does not. For example, what makes a source item equal to a destination item, such that AutoMapper would be able to discern that it should map over the existing rather than add? The PK? Which property is the PK? Is that property the same on both the source and destination? These are questions you can easily answer in your AfterMap, not so much for AutoMapper.
As a result, AutoMapper always maps collections over as new items. If that's not the behavior you want, that's where things like AfterMap come in. Also bear in mind that AutoMapper isn't designed specifically to work with EF, which is really the issue here, not AutoMapper. EF's change tracking is what causes AutoMapper's default collection mapping behavior to be problematic. In other situations and scenarios, it's not an issue.

A: I believe I have achieved a configuration where my InputModels and EntityClasses can contain an Id, and I simply have to create a mapping profile and call: Mapper.Map(inputModelClassInstance, entityClassInstance);
Hence AutoMapper and EF CORE will use Id's of my instances to see if they are equal and Add, Delete or Update as intended.
Here's what I did:
I used: https://github.com/AutoMapper/Automapper.Collection.EFCore
(Modified code from the link):
var services = new ServiceCollection();
services
    .AddEntityFrameworkSqlServer() //Use your EF CORE provider here
    .AddDbContext<MyContext>(); //Use your context here

services.AddAutoMapper((serviceProvider, automapper) =>
{
    automapper.AddCollectionMappers();
    automapper.UseEntityFrameworkCoreModel<MyContext>(serviceProvider);
}, typeof(DB).Assembly);

var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

Then my CreateMap<>()'s looks like this:
CreateMap<InputModelClass, EntityClass>(MemberList.Source);
CreateMap<ChildInputModelClass, ChildClass>(MemberList.Source);

And I simply perform an update by:
//Fetch entityClassInstance from db:
var entityClassInstance = Context.EntityClasses
.Where(ec => ex.id == id)
.Include(ec => ec.children)
.FirstOrDefault();

//Perform update:
Mapper.Map(inputModelClassInstance, entityClassInstance);

I can add and remove from the parent's child collection, and EF CORE + AutoMapper will add, delete and update as intended.
I believe .UseEntityFrameworkCoreModel<MyContext>(serviceProvider) adds the configuration that AutoMapper will use Ids to compare what are to be added, deleted and updated.
Important: It's very important that you include child entities, else they wont be updated by AutoMapper.

Following the long-awaited release of Dainese's D-air Racing suit earlier this year, the Italian brand is now ready to release the road-going version of the system, D-air Street, which is set to go on sale in the Spring of 2012.
D-air Street is specifically designed for use on public roads; the system is composed of the Motorcycle Kit (MKit) and either an outer waistcoat or jacket, which host the airbags. The MKit is fitted to the users motorcycle and is the brain of the system, which features a pair of accelerometers - one under the seat, and the other on the front forks. There is also a fall sensor that is physically connected to a display unit on the dash, to show the rider system information. Inside the clothing garment is the airbag device, which features two airbags both with a volume of 12 litres. They also include two cold automotive-type gas generators run by battery powered electronics, with an average life of 30 hours, and a five-hour charging time.
The system has been designed to protect the spine in conjunction with a back protector, limit movement of the neck whilst rolling, and to protect the upper abdomen and chest. The unit automatically switches on when the ignition is started, and communicates with the airbags via a two-way radio link. Once activated, the MKit detects the airbags and the connection is signalled to the rider on the display, together with battery life information. The system is set to identify head on collisions with a 45-degree angle impact or a slide, once trigged the airbags are deployed within 45millieseconds protecting the wearer. A pillion passenger can also be protected by the system if also wearing a D-air Street garment, this will link into the MKit and the rider will be able to see the status of the pillions system on screen.
D-air Street is available in three garment styles, an outer waistcoat, gore-tex jacket and a textile jacket, which has removable sleeves for all-round use. As well as the airbag system each garment also includes a fitted back protector, with removable shoulder and elbow protection, excluding the waistcoat. Standard features also include removable thermal liners, outside pockets and adjustable waistbands.
D-air Street is currently undergoing the highly regarded TÃœV SÃœD certification process and Dainese is positive it will reach the levels required. The D-air Racing system is already certified by TÃœV SÃœD.
D-air Street Waistcoat is available in sizes 40/60 and priced at £639.99.
* The MKit unit is sold separately and is required in order for the whole system to work.


The City of Richmond's annual Christmas Parade will be held Friday, December 6, 2019. THEME: "TBD" FLOAT CATEGORIES: Business, Civic, Church REGISTRATION: All entries must be properly registered with the Richmond Parks and Recreation Office by the deadline of November 15th.

Jayne Innes
A New Kind of MP for Coventry North West
About Jayne
Jayne pledges to support WASPI fight for pension justice
After last week's disappointing High Court ruling, Jayne Innes has pledged to continue to fight alongside local WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) campaigners to ensure pension justice.
The campaign concerns almost four million women born in the 1950s, who saw the retirement age at which they could draw the state pension increased from 60 to 65 to bring it in line with the male retirement age. The retirement age for both is now gradually increasing to 68. Many hundreds of thousands of affected women were simply not informed until shortly before they were due to retire, and a few days difference in birth date has led to delays of years in entitlement to the state pension. The financial effects have been devastating for many campaigners, with as much as £40,000 of pension entitlement lost.
The High Court had been asked to find that the mishandling of the pension changes by the DWP amounted to discrimination on the grounds of age and gender. Reacting to the ruling, Jayne said "I am dismayed at this ruling, as the shocking way that WASPI women has been treated does seem to me to be a clear case of discrimination on grounds of age and gender. We now need to see how the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman handles the test cases which were brought before the High Court action. If I am successful in becoming Coventry North West's next MP I will fight tirelessly to achieve justice for WASPI women, and I welcome Labour's renewed commitments to support those affected".
Labour's statement on WASPI is available here: https://labour.org.uk/press/1950s-women-let-government-pension-changes-jack-dromey-responds/

Elon Musk: 'Thank you for buying my perfume, so I can buy Twitter'
A few days ago, Elon Musk launched a new perfume that he decided to name "Burnt Hair" or "burnt hair". A product that has met with real success since 10,000 bottles of this product have been sold in a few hours. At 100 dollars a bottle, the billionaire sees his fortune grow a little more. "With a name like mine (musk is a common ingredient in perfumes, editor's note), entering the perfume industry was inevitable"he said on Twitter.
Today, the top executive of Tesla has added a layer and has once again taken over his Twitter account to encourage consumers to buy his perfume. In fact, Elon Musk must reach an agreement to buy the social network for 44 billion dollars by the end of the month, failing which a trial must take place in November. After Twitter's complaint, the billionaire had finally assured that the transaction would take place.
On Twitter, Elon Musk's profile has been modified and the mention "perfume seller" has been added. This is not the first time that Elon Musk has marketed a product that is absurd to say the least in reference to his various setbacks or his lively humor!

Shelby backs Boehner on insignificance of crash
SHELBY BACKS BOEHNER ON INSIGNIFICANCE OF CRASH…. House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) argued yesterday that sweeping Wall Street reform efforts are simply unnecessary. Sure, an unregulated financial industry nearly destroyed the global economy, but as far as Boehner is concerned, Democratic policymakers are "killing an ant with a nuclear weapon."
How ridiculous was the argument? Let's put it this way: usually, Boehner's press flacks can come up with a semi-coherent spin to make his more outlandish remarks seem somewhat reasonable. Today, Boehner left his poor spokesperson sounding like a fool.
What's worse, some of Boehner's Republican colleagues seem to think he's right. ThinkProgress caught up with Senate Banking Committee ranking member and financial conference member Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) outside a D.C. fundraiser today.
TP: This morning, it was reported that Minority Leader John Boehner said that financial reform is too broad, it's basically like using a nuclear weapon on an ant. Do you agree with that kind of sentiment?
SHELBY: Well, I basically agree with that. I voted against it. We could have had a meaningful, substantive bill. There a few good things in it, but it's a broad reach of power, and you got to ask a question, the real question, "are we going to be better off because of this legislation?" And that's problematic.
Let's pause to note that, in the event of a Republican majority next year, Richard Shelby would be the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.
It's really fascinating to see GOP leaders pursue this. The trick for Republicans has long been to work with Wall Street lobbyists to kill reform efforts while pretending to care deeply about accountability.
But now they're not even bothering to do that, dismissing a systemic crisis as being comparable to a small insect, and criticizing Democrats for trying to bring some oversight to the industry.
How bizarre.

Rob Aylward is one of the best British luthiers working today – he has made guitars for Robin Nolan, Hank Marvin and Tim Robinson, and he remains the luthier of choice for Gary Potter, Kevin Nolan and Jonny Hepbir. He is also highly rated by Jacques Mazzoleni. Most of Rob's guitars are solids, he has only recently started to make laminates.
Made in the Scottish Highlands, this guitar has both elegance and wild beauty. The guitar is expertly finished with a stunning, nicely-figured Bocote back and sides. Surprisingly heavy for a laminate but still quite light, the guitar has a rich tone with strong, firm high notes and a solid bass. It punches chords out well, but really comes into its own as a lead guitar with a tone that cuts like forked-lightning.
Rob's workshop was damaged by snow so this was made in his kitchen. I collected the guitar in person and got to chat to Rob quite a bit – I really liked making that one-to-one connection with the luthier. Rob takes his time with guitars so be prepared for a wait if you order one from him, but it will be worth it. He also lives about a quarter of a mile from the famous Abelour Distillery, so I bought a bottle of A'bunadh as well (Batch 47).

So now that the business is up and running, I thought I'd spend some time sharing a bit more about the other side of life. That is, life as a stay at home mum.
Anyone with (young) kids would know that life gets very busy. Nappy changes, food preparation, craft activities, book reading, games of imaginary proportions, etc. And then there's the constant teaching of how to do life in general, how to/not to treat others, how to have self-control, how to behave in certain situations, how to deal with your emotions, how to love. Being a parent is hard work!!! Sometimes it can feel like all the long hours have gone to waste but then suddenly a corner is turned and you see a distinct change, a better choice made voluntarily, an act of love between two sisters....and it's all worth it.
I find myself learning every day, about myself, about my kids, about how to do life as a stay at home mum as efficiently and effectively as I can. Let's face it, no one has EVERYTHING together. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, but the key is to remain humble and teachable. And by God's grace we will get through it just fine.
I am also a stay at home mum taking everything a step at a time. Being humble and being appreciative (thankful to God) in everything is also another key to face life.


For some months, I had not done manicure or pedicure. Reason: same same excuse of no time!! The feet were neglected, nails were looking dull and had no shape!
When I got beauty invite from Bejeweled, I felt that this is the great way to "break the monotony of no-time-excuse" and pamper my feet and hands.
Bejeweled has 2 well-equipped salons – One at Tanjong Pagar and another at Tai Seng, BreadTalk HQ. Bejeweled offers a variety of quality treatments like – Facials, Hair Removal, Nail Spa, Eyelash extension and Eyelash perming services. The website has detailed information about the treatments, menu with rate card. It is very simple for anyone to book Bejeweled services!
I visited their BreadTalk HQ salon after opting for Classic Pedicure and Gel Manicure.
The first thing that I loved about Bejeweled is – it is very very clean and brightly lit in golden light. I dread going to salons that are even slightly unhygienic with no clean tools. Bejeweled has neat appearance and hundreds of nail colors and other equipment arranged properly in cupboards.
Secondly, the chairs are comfortable to sit and enjoy your treatment. Minimalist interior with good ambiance!
Third and most importantly, the nail artists know their craft. Professional and smiling – they gave me information about the treatments. Also, they are swift. One girl did my manicure and another did pedicure. Fast, well-coordinated service. Smooth!
And the finished product – my hands, feet and nails looking clean, happy, sparkling!
1. Nails need due attention and care. It is a must to maintain proper hygiene for entire body and that includes nails. Nails can harbor bad bacteria under them that could be dangerous for our health. We all use hands and feet so much every day and hence, they scream for our attention. We have to keep them well-hydrated and nourished. Manicure and Pedicure is my way to give them that much-needed nourishment.
2. Done-up nails add oodles of self-confidence. I have observed that my hand (and feet) nails do get noticed whenever I do nail art – even simple nail color. Also, whenever I have to take off my shoes, I need to be absolutely sure that they don't look dirty and disgusting. It is not necessary to have perfect shaped feet by default. Pedicure does make feet look presentable. When I did my pedicure @ Bejeweled, feet started looking better and smarter! My reason to do pedicure is to maintain the feet and reduce dryness, to remove stubborn dirt and dead skin.
4. Nail treatments or for that matter any beauty treatments give me an opportunity to relax and get some exclusive me-time away from all the routine, mundane errands. I feel truly refreshed after every such pampering treat.
5. Though you can do DIY manicure and pedicure, it is not easy to get that refined effect. I prefer to leave it to professionals like Bejeweled to render proper manicure and pedicure treatments. The nail art is long-lasting and overall hands and feet look great for at least 3 weeks to 1 month.
Note: I was sponsored for the classic pedicure and gel manicure by Bejeweled in exchange of this review. No monetary compensation or benefit is involved. Would like to collaborate with RainbowDiaries? Drop a line – RainbowDiariesWorld@gmail.com OR fill up this contact form.

hi shubha, nice glitter that….
Looks great, thanks for all the product recommendations!
I love the glitter. It does sound like a fun way to spend the day.
I make sure to visit a nail spa twice a month. I need some hand pampering to relieve stress. Encoding almost all day is tiring. I also choose the expert in hand caring because my skin in nail is so thin.
So sparklyyyy! They look so neat as well!
the colour so nice!!! I love this colour!!
the colours look very nice with your complexion! lovely choice!
The pedicure is nice and suits you well. I want to give it a try too.
Your nails looked beautiful and sparkly!
Sorry. This is not really my type of nail care for women. I prefer them to have simply clean nails with simple nail color at the most. The shiny does not appeal to me.
First thing, the name itself sounds interesting. Love those sparkly nails!
Sometimes i m quite tempted to color my nail but my nails are very brittle and break easily.
This looks very relaxing and I love the way your nails came out!
Ah, manicure and pedicure. I haven't done mine for a month now and I missed my gel nails.
They have a lot of color and design choices at Bejeweled. It also looks so comfortable.
Good choice of glittering nail arts! It looks really pretty.
They did an amazing job and I can certainly see why you would recommend them. Since they're too far away for me to visit, I'll just have to stick with what I have here, although mine never looks as good.
I only get my nails done when there are special occasions. lol. We aren't allowed to have nail polish on our fingernails with my course because it might contaminate the food when cooking.
Who doesn't love getting their nails done, especially in a place as relaxing as this! I love that they look so clean I don't like nail salons that doesn't care about hygiene as well.
Love love love manicure and pedicure sessions! Always great to give ourselves some pampering and of course look good too!
nice and shinning nail art! I haven't try it before.
A good manicure and pedicure always gives me extra confidence to face a new week! 🙂 We deserve to be pampered too!
It has been a while since I did my monthly manicures and pedicures. I love pedicures the most because it is so relaxing!! Love love love those leg massages the best!
I agree with you. Sometimes we tend to ignore our nails but this year I just started going to the salon for pedicure because I can't reach my feet anymore (pregnancy problems). I'm glad they're taking good care of my nails, I love it and would keep doing it.
Your mani and pedi looks good! I've never really been into paying for manicure and pedicure because I'm too restless and get bored hand-holding with a stranger for almost an hour while they groom my nails. I'm also much too rough for the nail polish to last more than 3 days.
Love your manicure and pedicure.. It is so beautiful… Well, the reasons are good.. But really no need any reason to be pretty.. Hhahahaha!
In my case, since in my younger years I am fond of having my nails done, so now as advice need to have my manicure and pedicure once a month to avoid the darkening of nails.
Oh so pretty!! Been so long since I had my nails done. Le sigh.
The chairs look so welcoming! Yes, I agree with you, a brightly lit place and neat arrangement means so much to us! Love the Hello Kitty holder too!
Looks fantastic! I should ask them if they'd like more blogger reviews, hee.

Although the Boston Celtics could certainly use the aid of their star point guard Kyrie Irving to close out the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, they're doing pretty well without him thus far. His importance, though, can't be understated. Irving is still critical to the team's success whether on the floor or not. During his off-court moments, Irving has been entrenched in both his upcoming Uncle Drew film and his fourth signature Nike shoe.
He recently unveiled a special edition "Wheaties" package in which his Nike Kyrie 4 was enclosed. The box features both Irving and his Uncle Drew character on opposite sides with a pair of Red/White-Blue Kyrie 4s. It's reported only 100 pairs were produced.
Take a look at the Nike Kyrie 4 "Wheaties". Expect Uncle Drew in theaters on June 29.

Grateful for Traslacion suspension
January 3, 2022 January 3, 2022 5 min read
The 2020 Traslacion, a scene of a sure-fire Covid super-spreader (PNA photo courtesy).
We have grounds to feel buoyant after Catholic Church authorities said the annual Traslacion of the Black Nazarene in Manila's Luneta to Quiapo district – by tradition scheduled every January 9 – remains suspended for January 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Black Nazarene, carved by an unknown Mexican artist from dark wood in the 16th century, was brought to the Philippines in 1606 and depicts Jesus en route to his crucifixion.
The Feast of the Black Nazarene commemorates the anniversary of the transfer or movement of the ebony image from its original location at a church in modern-day Luneta Park fronting Manila Bay to Quiapo, often referred to as the heart of the country's capital.
The image was brought to the Church of San Juan Bautista in Bagumbayan (now Luneta) until May 31, 1606 by Augustinian Recollect priests.
In 1608, the icon was enshrined at the Recollect church of San Nicolás de Tolentino in the city's old walled Intramuros and was moved to the Saint John the Baptist Church, now commonly referred to as the Quiapo Church on January 9, 1787.
Church officials say the "solemn transfer" eventually became the date of the Feast of the Black Nazarene.
But given the coronavirus pandemic, it is very reasonable that the transfer, which yearly attracts millions – some project as many as three million, or roughly one-fifth of Metro Manila's daytime population before the health emergency – be suspended.
There are opposing views on whether to consider the Feast of the Black Nazarene as a proper fiesta due to the fact that the January 9 observance celebrates the transfer of the image and not the liturgical "feast day" of the image.
Some theologians say the proper liturgical commemoration of the Black Nazarene is on Good Friday.
But in 2021, the Basilica's parochial vicar Fr. Douglas Badong explained that the Feast of the Black Nazarene was a proper term for the religious event, and could be called a fiesta as the event is similar to the typical Filipino festival.
The event is also colloquially referred to as "Nazareno" after the image itself, or the Traslación after the January 9 procession.
Every January 9, the Traslación of the Black Nazarene (commemorating the "solemn transfer" of the image's copy from San Nicolás de Tolentino in Intramuros to Quiapo) makes its way along the streets of Quiapo, with attendees reaching up to 220 thousand devotees.
In recent years a persistent misconception has the Traslación being repeatedly referred to (by the media as well as exploitative politicians) as mostly the "Feast of the Black Nazarene" (Pistá ng Itím na Nazareno), and sometimes the "Feast of Quiapo" (Pistá ng Quiapo), which, many religionists say, despite the chaotic yet festive atmosphere, are far from correct.
The Black Nazarene's liturgical commemoration is on Good Friday, the second date of the year on which the image is processed, with the basilica's parochial feast day scheduled on June 24, which coincides with Manila Day, the birthday of its titular head John the Baptist.
In recent years, the processional route was altered due to a rise in accidents, to afford other neighborhoods off the traditional route a chance to participate, and because of structural deficiencies in nearby bridges.
It is normally only a school holiday for the schools near the processional route, but for the first time in the city's history, Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada in 2014 declared the day a special non-working holiday due to the impassability of some thoroughfares and projected congestion in others.
As per custom, the Black Nazarene leaves the Minor Basilica a day or two before the annual procession, either in a public fashion or secretly.
Since 2016, the procession begins at around 5.30 a.m. after a solemn Midnight Mass at the Quirino Grandstand – usually presided by the Rector of the Minor Basilica but with the Archbishop of Manila preaching the sermon, followed hours later by Morning Prayer of the Liturgy of the Hours.
It ends in Quiapo in the late night of the same day or early the following morning, depending on how long the image has traveled.
Some participants choose to wait for the image inside the Minor Basilica to greet it, while most devotees walk throughout the whole processional route, with devotees donning maroon and yellow like the image.
And they walk barefoot as a form of penance and imitating Christ's walk to Golgotha, the skull-shaped hill in ancient Jerusalem, the site of Jesus' crucifixion.
The hill of execution was outside the city walls of Jerusalem, apparently near a road and not far from the sepulcher where Jesus was buried.
This year, there will be none of this lengthy walk – but it is good to avoid a possible surge of infections and possible death, with the coronavirus still unchecked.
Our thoughts.

Parent coaching makes us stop and think rather than flying off the handle. We're all on the same page now with less yelling or blaming. We've changed the way we act and think and now have a positive focus (and action steps) for helping the kids grow into what we truly want them to become…happy.
Parent coaching has brought very positive changes in our family's energy. More happiness, less frustration, less anger and less extreme ups and downs. Before working with Brightening Connections things that were normal everyday events such as getting dressed and leaving the house would frequently turn into out-of-control events full of negative emotional energy which would impact the rest of the day. With our new parenting tools we have been able to diffuse and move on from situations that were once uncontrollable, overwhelming and all-consuming. With the 5 Polka Dots framework to guide us we are now able to have more fun together, enjoy daily life and be the family we want to be.
When our twins were born we were shot out the parental cannon and launched into reality. Life went from zero to sixty in nine short months. Three years later my youngest daughter was born with multiple medical issues, and our "cannon" again blew us into the stratosphere–a level for which I felt completely ill-prepared. I went into autopilot–literally survival mode—as we traded medical fragility for challenging behavior (our youngest is as strong-willed as they come). On the advice of a friend we sought the help of Samantha who helped us discover the key to unlocking our daughter's brain. We didn't need to fix HER anymore. We needed to fix our broken parenting, which Samantha helped us through easily by spoon-feeding us specific measures to change the family dynamics ASAP.
The 5 Polka Dot Potion is amazing! It's great to have a way to stop chaotic behavior without spanking and screaming. Instead I can let my kids know how their actions make me feel and why. I love the connection I'm getting with my kids and when we have playdates at our home, the parents and kids know our house rules. This has helped maintain a shred of peace when 12 kids of various ages are running amok.

Anfield icon Luis Suarez says he would only join Liverpool if he returned to the Premier League.
The Uruguayan forward, who netted 82 goals for Liverpool, left Merseyside for Barcelona in July 2014 for a staggering £75m.He immediately helped his club land an unprecedented five trophies in one season by netting 25 times in 43 appearances – including one in the Champions League final.
Though a key component of Luis Enrique's prolific Barca squad, Suarez refused to completely rule out a return to Liverpool.
Suarez told ESPN: "You never know what will happen in the future.
"If I was to return to England, it would be to play for Liverpool – not for any other team."I've missed the fans. The atmosphere is incredible.
"Everyone that has played for Liverpool knows how important the supporters are. They know that they're in my heart."Suarez, 29, is La Liga's top scorer on 18, seven ahead of team-mate Lionel Messi.
