Former South African chief justice Arthur Chaskalson defended former judge Richard Goldstone on Wednesday from criticism in Israel's largest newspaper that as a judge in the 1980s, he willingly enforced the racial laws of the apartheid regime.
In a report published on Wednesday in Yediot Aharonot, which announced a larger feature that would be published in the paper's Friday edition, journalists Techiya Barak and Tzadok Yehezkeli presented judicial rulings made by Goldstone that, they said, showed a willing and uncritical support for the race-based legislation of apartheid.
Furthermore, they wrote, Goldstone either ordered or sanctioned as an appellate judge at least 28 death penalty executions, and wrote in support of the practice in his judicial rulings.
During the 1980s, at the height of apartheid's most violent and brutal period, "there was a whole discourse about judges staying on the bench," Chaskalson explained. Some anti-apartheid voices supported the move, some opposed.
Specifically, the reporters cited a ruling from 1981 in which Goldstone, then a judge on the Transvaal Supreme Court, acquitted four policemen who had conducted an illegal night raid on the home of a white woman because she was suspected of having had sexual relations with a non-white person – a crime under the apartheid statutes of the time.
"He acquitted the four officers for technical reasons, despite ruling that they had illegally entered the home. Yet in doing so, he did not refer to the law itself as racist or problematic. In fact, he simply enforced a racial law," said Yehezkeli.
Goldstone could not be reached for comment for this article because he was traveling. However, he had given a response to Barak and Yehezkeli in which he said that the officers' appeal had been upheld not because he supported the racist laws, but because there had been legal mistakes made in the case.
"It is clear, however, from the portion of the judgment [cited by the reporters], that [the other presiding judge] and I found that the entry of the police officers had been unjustified and unlawful. Their appeal was upheld on the technical grounds that the legal provision under which they were charged did not create a criminal offense," Goldstone wrote.
Goldstone was such a judge, he said.
Yehezkeli points to his March 1993 ruling in the case of Purpose Bongani Khumalo, in which Goldstone seemingly justified the death penalty as a deterrent.
"Here he expressed outright support for the death sentence, and even brought public opinion as a factor in imposing it," Yehezkeli said.
Chaskalson added that he disagreed vehemently with the image created by the reporters, insisting that Goldstone had used his judicial powers to mitigate the abuses of the apartheid regime.
As an example, he cited the 1986 Govendor case, which challenged the Group Areas Act, a piece of legislation that attempted to enforce separate living areas for whites and non-whites.
The case came before Goldstone in the midst of the period of emergency laws imposed to enforce apartheid against growing protests.
While he could not overturn the legislation, Goldstone ruled that ejecting non-whites deemed to be living in the areas proscribed to them by law was not compulsory, but at the discretion of the court. He added that exercising this discretion should take place only after the court had considered the personal harm that would come to the evicted party and the existence of alternative living arrangements. He placed the burden of proof for these considerations on the state.
Chaskalson rejected the Yediot report as "scandalous" for its failure to capture the context of the times.
"It's one thing to disagree with [Goldstone's Gaza] report, but quite another to go after him personally like this," he said.
Yehezkeli believes the record speaks for itself.

Home/News/Rep. James Clyburn pushing for Biden to name black Agriculture Secretary
Rep. James Clyburn pushing for Biden to name black Agriculture Secretary
South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn — one of Joe Biden's most important political backers — is pushing the president-elect to name an African-American to head the Department of Agriculture.
"I'm sick and tired of people saying that rural America is only Nebraska and Iowa," Clyburn told The Post on Thanksgiving, referring to two farm states overwhelmingly populated by white residents.
"We — our forebears — were brought here to develop rural America, the plantations," said Clyburn, the highest ranking black person in the House leadership.
The Democrat is advocating for Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge to be nominated as agricultural secretary
Clyburn noted it was rural blacks in the south — not just in urban areas — that delivered the gusher of votes that propelled Biden to win the Democratic nomination over Bernie Sanders.
Clyburn's endorsement of Biden before the South Carolina primary is credited with turning around Biden's struggling campaign. Biden, who served eight years as Barack Obama's vice president, easily carried South Carolina and subsequently other southern states with significant numbers of black primary voters.
"Rural America is South Carolina, it's Mississippi, it's Alabama. It's Georgia," Clyburn said of southern states with a huge number of rural black residents.
"It was black rural voters who helped Biden carry Georgia in the general election," the congressman added.
Clyburn, who formerly was executive director of the South Carolina Commission for Farm Workers, cares deeply about agricultural issues. He said there are broad array of issues that need to be addressed in poor, rural areas including nutrition, and conditions of housing, schools and sewage infrastructure.
Biden's transition is eying two white midwesterners for the farm post, the New York Times reported: former North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and Tom Vilsack, the former Iowa governor who served as agricultural sector for the Obama White House.
Activists on the left — including Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) and Vermont Bernie Sanders — have also made noise about Biden, a moderate, making appointments that include like-minded progressives as well as embracing policies they favor like the Green New Deal.
But it's Clyburn who speaks for the segment of black America most responsible for making Biden president.

Dale Dougherty
DALE DOUGHERTY is the leading advocate of the Maker Movement. He founded Make: Magazine 2005, which first used the term "makers" to describe people who enjoyed "hands-on" work and play. He started Maker Faire in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2006, and this event has spread to nearly 200 locations in 40 countries, with over 1.5M attendees annually. He is President of Make:Community, which produces Make: and Maker Faire.
In 2011 Dougherty was honored at the White House as a "Champion of Change" through an initiative that honors Americans who are "doing extraordinary things in their communities to out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world." At the 2014 White House Maker Faire he was introduced by President Obama as an American innovator making significant contributions to the fields of education and business. He believes that the Maker Movement has the potential to transform the educational experience of students and introduce them to the practice of innovation through play and tinkering.

Pat Konkle, a retired machinist from Colorado, created a set of mechanical displays that demonstrate a variety of working gears. It's an amazing piece of work. Mike Neden of Pittsburg State's Kansas Technology Center came upon these displays on a trip and with help from Pitsco Education turned them into freestanding exhibits. Mike said that Konkle created these displays in his machine shop as his wife's health was failing. He brought a comfortable chair into the machine shop for her and she sat there while he worked away on creating these marvels of mechanical motion.
The video above shows four different displays, and ends with my favorite which has a wonderful sound. Mike Neden describes some of the action.
I'd love to have these displays at a Maker Faire someday.


Have you noticed that things have been a bit quiet around this blog? There's been a lot going on behind the scenes, though.
Convenience | Just like you, I take courses. I love taking courses, but you can only give up so many weekends for courses before you burn out. I've started taking advantage of online learning opportunities to build my own practice, and I love being able to fit my learning in when it's convenient for me. I can squeeze a bit in when a patient cancels, or after my kid goes to bed. And then I can relax on the weekend. Sign me up!
Access | I started OneBrain because I think everyone should have access to the best in concussion education. That's why my courses are available to all health care professionals, no matter your professional designation. But Canada is a big country, and I just can't get to every corner of it, and not everyone is able to travel to take courses. By taking OneBrain training online, I can provide the same education experience to everyone, no matter where you live. You can start whenever you want - no waiting for me to get there, no risk that the course won't fill and get cancelled.
I partnered with Embodia Academy because I think they're awesome. They have lots of excellent courses offered by clinicians I really respect. They have a really robust, user-friendly learning platform, but most importantly, they allowed me to set up an online forum specific to my course. That means you can ask questions and I can provide answers, just like if we were in a classroom.
To kick off this partnership, I'm offering a discount code to everyone currently subscribed to my newsletter, and to anyone new who signs up before DECEMBER 15, 2017.
If you've already taken Part 1 in person, pass along the discount code to a friend who might be interested. And stay tuned to Embodia Academy, because OneBrain's Part 2 course will be appearing online in 2018.
The goal of OneBrain, now and always, is to help you become an even more awesome clinician. How can we help you do that? Send an email, leave a comment, join the Embodia forum, and keep us in the loop. Let's grow your clinical expertise together.

Raeleen (Dunne) Baggs – Athlete
By sgodin@m5.ca	January 1, 2019 November 15th, 2019 hall of fame
Inducted 2013
Mount Pearl athlete Raeleen (Dunne) Baggs through her soccer career has exemplified the characteristics of greatness. From her early beginnings as an age group player and throughout her senior years, Raeleen has demonstrated that to excel in sport, you must be physically fit and play with grit, determination and toughness. In addition to this, you must also be a leader who plays with intelligence and an understanding that garnishes the respect of both players and coaches alike. When reviewing her career, one only has to look at her accomplishments to realize that the characteristics that made her unique are what arguably made her one of the top, if not the top female soccer player in the history of Newfoundland and Labrador. In 1991 and 1993 she was a member of Provincial Canada Games Teams representing the province in both soccer and squash. Raeleen was invited to National Team training camps on two separate occasions in 1991 and 1999. 1996 and 1999 marked two outstanding years for Raeleen as she competed in two CIAU National Championships, she was named Female Soccer Player of the year for Canadian Universities in both years, she was named CIAU All-Star in both years, CIAU Academic All-star in both years and she was named Athlete of the Year at Acadia University in 1996 and Queen's University Press Athlete of the year in 1999. Raeleen was named Atlantic University All-Star in 1996 and received a Petro Canada Olympic Torch Scholarship in 1999. Raeleen has represented the province at the National Senior Women's Jubilee Trophy Soccer Competition in 2002 and 2005 as a result of Provincial Jubilee Trophy Championships in both years. In 2007 the NLSA named the Jubilee Trophy regular season MVP the "Raeleen Dunne Baggs Award." In 2009 Raeleen was inducted into the Mt. Pearl Sport Alliance Hall of Fame and in 2011 she was inducted into both the Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association Hall of Fame and the Mount Pearl Soccer Hall of fame. She was named Mount Pearl Sport Alliance Athlete of the Year for 1997, 1999 and 2000. To recognize her strength and playing brilliance, the Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association named Raeleen, Female Player of the Decade for the 1990's. She was also named Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association Senior Player of the year in 1997 and 1999. With technical ability and a mind to see beyond, Raeleen Dunne Baggs has stepped beyond the ordinary and into the world of greatness.

Q: Passing information between windows ASP.net Here is the problem: I have a HTML page called test.html and an ASPX page called getitem.aspx.
Now what I want to do is, upon clicking a button on test.html, I want the getitem.aspx page to open in a new dialog and allow entry on a text box. After clicking the OK button on getitem.aspx, this dialog should close and the entry should be passed back to the html page.
The issue is that the getitem.aspx has several buttons that trigger postback - but I only want the item from the text box to be sent back to test.html upon clicking of the OK button and not any other buttons.
How could I implement this?

A: You should use javascript to do that
first you need to use window.open() method to open the popup
after you have closed the page you should use window.opener for accessing to the closed windows and use javascript method like (getElementById) to find the element on that window and read it's value and then use !!
Hope it helps

Review: Country star Kane Brown dares to show his vulnerability in concert in Minneapolis
EDMONTON, Alberta – Marat Khusnutdinov scored a power-play goal with 5.6 seconds left in overtime, and Russia beat Sweden 4-3 in the world junior hockey championship on Wednesday.
Khusnutdinov was a second-round draft pick by the Wild in this year's NHL draft.
Russia ended Sweden's 54-game winning streak in the preliminary round. The Swedes last lost in the group stage to the United States 3-2 on Dec. 31, 2006 — also in overtime.
Earlier, Samuel Helenius scored twice and Finland beat Slovakia 6-0 on Wednesday to improve to 3-0 in group play. Finland set up a showdown with defending champion Canada, also 3-0, on Thursday for first place in Group A. Germany beat Switzerland 5-4 to advance to the playoff round for the first time.

Natrona County schools move forward with integrated learning approach
Written by Saige Albert
Natrona County School District (NCSD) in Casper launched an effort to employ project-based learning in high school education to more actively engage students and improve graduation rates. While also constructing a new building – called the Pathways Innovation Center (PIC), NCSD created four academies to facilitate the new programs.
"The hardest part of learning is unlearning," said Karen Colling, Natrona County High School science teacher, during a presentation with stakeholders at the beginning of February. "We are learning a whole new system."
The academies system strives to provide education to students using project-based learning while also capturing their interests. As a result, students have the opportunity to choose an academy to pursue their education within.
The four academies within PIC are Business Agriculture and Natural Resources (BANR), Architecture, Construction, Manufacturing and Engineering (ACME), Health Science and Human Services (HSHS) and Creative Arts, Communication and Design (CACD).
Each academy covers the same standards and achieves the same goals, but does so in a way that educators and community members alike hope will be more engaging.
Inside BANR
For ag students, the Business, Agriculture and Natural Resources (BANR) academy will be home. Teachers within the academy have worked together to create a curriculum that will provide ag students the opportunity to explore their field within the context of a greater world view.
"In BANR, we will be focusing on farm-to-table production," said Wendy Pollock, agriculture education instructor at CY Middle School. "We can look at a number of different things under that umbrella."
Colling and Pollock worked with Josh Thompson, a history educator, Calvin Colling, a culinary arts educator, Debra Park, English Language Arts teacher, and Jessie Schell, agriculture education instructor, to develop the curriculum under the BANR academy umbrella.
Focusing on farm-to-table production, three paths will be offered for students to follow – culinary arts, horticulture and vet science. Students will choose one of the three paths to focus on that best fits their interests and work through a series of common, focal and foundations projects.
"The common projects are the ones that all studies in the BANR academy will participate in," Pollock explains. "They will require larger group collaboration."
For 2016, students in BANR academy will be pursuing a farm-to-table project, global sustainability project, business plan and service learning and social issues projects, as well as an individual student project.
Focal projects break students down into smaller groups and allow student-interest-driven exploration of topics.
Finally, foundations projects delve into the academic core subject areas and provide the opportunity for students to learn English Language Arts, Social Studies and Science skills.
"These projects will help students develop the foundational skills needed in all paths," she adds.
Value of academies
"Academies are valuable because students no longer ask, 'Why do I need to know this? How will I ever use it?' and instead inherently understand how the content we teach is applicable to their specific career paths," Thompson comments. "Also, students will begin to see how history informs literature, how literature informs history, how science informs both and how English-language arts and communication skills are relevant to any career. Further, they see how each of these content areas are important to their specific careers. The biggest and best benefit is that students struggle less with motivation."
Thompson adds that the system also provides the opportunity to explore potential future careers at a time in their lives that is less costly and safer to do so.
"Perhaps most importantly, there is no reason students cannot be prepared to do the work that industry and business needs them to do in high school without the need for further technical or vocational education," he says. "Why shouldn't a student graduate with their certifications to go right to work after high school? Our economy has changed, and our schools ought to change in response."
Folding in core subjects
Academies strive to engage students by connecting topics they are interested in with core subjects.
Thompson explains that, on the BANR curriculum team, they began by looking at the available staff and then looking at which core credits could be integrated.
"We needed to be mindful about students who may change academies after a semester, yet being confident that most would love what we're doing so much they would not, or yet decide the academy/project-based learning style was not for them," he says. "We kept this in mind as we began to develop projects and driving questions for projects so that students could change academies at semesters or return to home schools without returning credit-deficient."
Early in the semester, students within BANR academy will be responsible for setting up the greenhouse and a student-run coffee and snack shop at the school. They will explore global sustainability issues that allow students in all three paths to engage.
Students will also work on problems related to food production, ranging from controversial issues like genetically modified foods to production issues like labor and farm subsidies.
A wide range of projects leave students with a few loose ends educationally to tie up.
"We were left with all that pesky Shakespeare in the English-Language Arts standards, and right now, we envision capturing those components through a Shakespearean dinner theater where students will write a business plan, handle the marketing and prepare dinner based on the crops and animals they'd spent the entire fall growing," he says. "And, yes, that does mean butchering the animals, as well as preparing them."
Thompson says he is both excited and optimistic about the future of education at the high school level in Casper, though the transition won't be easy.
"Change is difficult and so requires slow, gradual and incremental change because as risk decreases, participation increases," he says. "Unfortunately, sometimes passionate leaders of change can be zealous and unwittingly or inadvertently alienate others whose work is vital, valuable and important. We need to take baby steps in this transformation for it to be successful and let everyone know we're all on the same team working towards the same ends: improving education for all of our students and doing what's best for them."
Thompson comments, "I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to help students understand the intersection of economics with politics and culture and to see the power we all have as citizens in a democracy to shape our common future."

Securitize now an SEC-registered transfer agent for digital securities
Securitize is the first blockchain-focused transfer agent with a working protocol, live issuers, and integrations with multiple regulated digital security marketplaces in the United States
Securitize, a platform and protocol for issuing and managing compliant digital securities on the blockchain, announced today it is now an SEC-registered transfer agent.
This registration enables Securitize to act as a transfer agent for digital securities registered with the SEC, as well as for issuers of Reg A+ and Reg CF digital securities who wish to exempt their digital securities from the mandatory registration requirements of Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Securitize is the first and only SEC-registered transfer agent with a working blockchain protocol, active issuers, and integrations that allow digital securities powered by Securitize's DS protocol to be traded on SEC-registered alternative trading systems (ATS), including Open Finance Network, tZERO, and Sharespost.
As a transfer agent, Securitize is able to keep a real-time cap table of investors and facilitate corporate actions for issuers, including, among other things, the payment of dividends and interest, conducting shareholder votes and redemptions/share buybacks.
Securitize has also created a tool, the transfer verification tool (TVT), that allows investors to pre-check the transfer of any digital security token powered by the DS protocol.
Using blockchain technology and tokens representing ownership allows for an immutable, auditable, and traceable source of record of the lifecycle of a security and automates compliance, which allows for instant trades across multiple regulated marketplaces, materially reducing the time it takes to determine a trade for a security and ensuring the compliance of the trade.
"Securitize has consistently led the market through our execution and commitment to delivering on the promise of compliant digital securities on the blockchain. Becoming a registered transfer agent is the natural next step for Securitize as we continue to work toward making all securities digital; it opens up opportunities for issuers of registered securities to tap into the digital securities market in an efficient and trusted way, and also allows issuers of Reg A+ and Reg CF digital securities to use a blockchain-based transfer agent if they wish to exempt their digital securities from the mandatory registration requirements of Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act."
– Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize
The news comes after Securitize announced the 10th issued and outstanding digital security running on the Securitize platform and DS Protocol, five of which are actively trading on regulated ATS, with a total value of all issued and outstanding digital securities using its technology approaching $200 million.

Deur water purifier uses the latest and safest methods to ensure you get safe and clean drinking water every time you feel thirsty. To keep you healthy and disease free, we use the advanced technology of Reverse Osmosis (RO). Reverse osmosis helps in removing dissolved salts as well as organics from the water.
To understand reverse osmosis better, let us tell you a little about the process of osmosis.
Osmosis is a natural and fundamental process in which a liquid is flown through a semi permeable membrane, which blocks the transfusion of salts/solutes through this membrane.
Reverse osmosis, as its name suggests is almost the opposite or reverse of osmosis. In this process, when the two volumes of any solvent or water are separated with a special grade semi permeable membrane, the normal process of osmosis starts. This means, the liquid with low solute concentration flows to the high solute concentration. Now this process is stopped or even reversed by applying pressure externally, known as osmotic pressure. In such a case, the liquid flows from the high concentrate solute to the low concentrate solute. This phenomenon is called as reverse osmosis.
During this process, a small percentage of the feed water permeates the membrane, the other portion of water (unfiltered water) moves alongside the membrane without being filtered and moves out of the system.
The stream which permeates through the membrane is called the 'permeate'. The second stream of water is called the 'concentrate' because it carries the concentrated salts and other contaminants which are not able to permeate through or rejected by the membrane. Since the two streams of liquid flow side by side, this process is also called cross flow filtration. This process of water filtration ensures that the output will reject 99.9% of pyrogens, virus and bacteria.
Easy to find, install, and use.

Soul balm from earth and living…
Children who have escaped from difficult situations find refuge in the agricultural schools of the "Ark of the World"
For the children in difficulty, the ones removed from their families with a prosecutor's order, who have found shelter in the agricultural schools of the "Ark of the World", there is no longer insecurity in their lives and future but a clear path on solid ground. It is offered to them by the founder of the Ark, Father Antonios Papanikolaou, who breaks the vicious circle of delinquency through their healing contact with nature. That is why the youngest of the agricultural schools of the Ark, in Dimini of Volos, recently received the GENE Global Education Award 2020/2021 of the European Union. It has been operating since 2017 and is an agricultural paradise with an impressive view of the city of Volos and the Pagasitikos gulf, with a farm, orchard, olive grove, vineyards, greenhouse, garden with aromatic plants and herbs, seed bank, but also 17 well-equipped laboratories, including an olive mill, a cheese factory, a winery, a pasta making workshop, a traditional products making workshop, a feed making workshop, a stone mill. The agricultural school in Pogoniani, Ioannina, has been operating since 2015, in a beautiful landscape 800 meters from the Greek-Albanian border, while there are also branches in Chios and Kalamata.

It is my privilege to submit this brief report received from World Family Forum Regional Office at Allahabad on my five day visit to Uttar Pradesh.
The visit was an eye opener for me. I had never experienced such pain inside me on seeing the poverty and exploitation of our fellow humans. I witnessed some of the most pathetic conditions and saw nakedness, hunger and hopelessness. I saw homeless skeletons… I met desperate people who believed they had no future at all. Each one of them are human beings. They belong to our race and we feel ashamed when we see our image in those skeletons. It is a fact that we belong to them, we are the same. I most intensely urge you to hold hands so that World Family Forum could begin changing their lives and help them to bring back the dignity they deserve as human beings. That is our dignity and we would certainly like to retain it. I thank friends and co-workers for organizing the visit, leading to free, frank and open discussion on some of the burning issues.

SWISS campaign reportaz
Look down under your feet as you stand or walk on the stone paved streets. Do you know where these beautiful stones came from or who crafted them to perfection? If these stones came from India, I must confess that these are most probably laced with tears and blood of underpaid workers, operating in most inhumane conditions. I highly commend SLA / SAH for the Campaign for Public Procurement of Clean Stones in Switzerland and plead Municipalities, Cantons/Customers and the Government to patronize only clean and Fair Trade stones. If they resolve to do so, things will change on the ground in India.
A better world is possible, let us work together! Thank You!"
Report on poverty eradication
Today we are living in a global village. World is shrinking rapidly and drastically. Barriers of boundaries and question of sovereignty has been eclipsed by the emergence of concepts like globalization, economic liberalization and open market world economy. So is the change in the interpretation of ethics, principles,morals and values. Society is on the brink of collapse. Materialism and mechanism has over powered emotions and the feeling of community living. Challenges are ahead in all over the world.
Transformation of the system is proving to be a nightmare. Ethnic conflicts, apartheid, terrorism, illiteracy, population explosion, power alignments, war etc… have become reasons for genocides. The gap between developed and developing nations gettingwidened.Developing countries have become the dumping land for the developed nations. Inner instincts and infatuation and fascination for world international philosophy, spiritualism, reclusion, intellectualism and informative aesthetic intelligence are no longer the hot beds for international peace and co-existence. The concept of 'wholeworld is a family' is still like a dream to come true and a goal still far off from attainment.
The formation of 'World Family Forum' was necessary if a bird eye view is to be put on the present, modern and global scenario. 'World Family Forum' is committed to lighting candle, removing darkness and ensuring profound all round growth, development and welfare. We believe in clubbing the approach of traditionalismwith the fundamentals of modernism.
Gala Tree Plantation manage tree coverage on a sustainable basis. Trees are positively of great importance for the creation of favorable climate, enhance fertility of the soil, remove erosion and salinity and maintain ecological balance. The involvement of people, particularly at the grassroots level and agencies outside the Government is crucial for achieving these targets. The Government of Uttar Pradesh decided to increase the green cover in the state from the paltry 9.3% at present by planting 10 million saplings on 30 July 2007 in the state.

Sol Bamba issues apology after his Portman Road meltdown
Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock hangs onto Sol Bamba as he argues with fourth official Charles Breakspear after he had been sent off in the Ipswich Town v Cardiff City match at Portman Road. Picture: Steve Waller www.stephenwaller.com - Credit: Picture: Steve Waller
Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba has issued a public apology for his fit of rage and resultant red card during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
The 31-year-old Ivorian international, who has been handed a two-match ban but could face further FA action, was dismissed in the 70th minute after reacting wildly to being on the receiving end of a Jonathan Douglas foul.
Bamba pushed over his own physio, had to be restrained when trying to get to Douglas, then angrily confronted the fourth official. After being dismissed, he ended up grappling with his own boss, Neil Warnock.
"I want to apologise to the Cardiff City supporters, my team-mates and manager for my conduct during Saturday's game at Ipswich," Bamba wrote in a statement issued by the Welsh club.
"Whilst I was extremely angry with the challenge on me at the time, it did not condone my reaction and I accept that the referee had no choice but to show me a red card. I've spoken to my manager and team-mates and apologised to them in person.
"I've had a fantastic time at Cardiff City since joining in October and I look forward to returning. My intention will then be to make further amends with my performances on the pitch."
Meanwhile, Town manager Mick McCarthy has revealed that Cardiff manager Warnock failed to mention the Douglas tackle which triggered Bamba's outburst when the pair spoke on the phone on Sunday.
In his post-match press conference Warnock had pointed the finger at the Town midfielder, saying "Douglas was clever. Douglas was smirking when he came off and I'm sure when you see it in slow motion you'll see he leaves his studs in."
"I spoke to Warney yesterday morning and there was not a mention of that," said McCarthy. "He's a great one at deflecting. All he said was you can't condone what he (Bamba) did and said nothing about Dougie."

LAGATAW: Cheryl Bihag on 'Is Mountaineering Sexist?"
...I am always amazed by how beautiful the world is! It is natural beauty untouched by the creative minds of people!
I met Cheryl at the Second Annual Hungduan Climbathon in Mt Napulauan (Ifugao) April this year. We ran the 17K mountain trail from Hapao to Hungduan accumulating an elevation gain of more than 5000ft. She finished 3rd in the women's category. I saw her again at the TNF Thrill of the Trail in CamSur. She finished 7th in the women's 100K event! Then when I looked through her 'mountaineering resume', I was utterly humbled by the accomplishments she's made so far. If I were to mention all her feats over the last few years, I would have to make a totally different post about them. To name a few, she summited Mt Kilimanjaro (the highest mountain in Africa) in 2008; she has done two winter climbs in Snow Mountain in Taiwan, a winter trek down the Grand Canyon and a climb up Mt Kinabalu.
She is also a big fan of The North Face Thrill of the Trail participating in its races in Singapore and The Philippines. She has also participated in a lot of other runs in Southeast Asia including the KL Standard Chartered Marathon (42K) and SG Standard Chartered Marathon (21K). And you can also see her in wall climbing competitions in the country! What else do you want to know to prove that Cheryl's the real deal?!
When was the first time you climbed and where?
The very first mountain I climbed is Mt. Talipanan/Malasimbo in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro (July 2000). That was the first training climb of the BMC that I was taking at that time. Up to now, before summiting Mt.Kilimanjaro, I can say that was my most difficult climb ever. At the saddle after the muddy part, I thought to myself "Why am I doing this, this is not for me". I was just so tired and wasted then; I couldn't even appreciate the beautiful view around me. Carrying a very heavy pack, sleeping in a tent, getting up so early despite my aching and tired body were some of the reasons I had to think a hundred times if I was really going to finish the course. Until I said "Ok I will give it a try to TC2 (second training climb)". I gained friends along the way, I learned more techniques on how to make my life easier on the mountain, until I finished the four-month course, and not just that, I became really obsessed with climbing that after my BMC I climbed most of my weekends.
Who/What inspired you to climb?
Climbing was never in my mind at all until I got a job that gives me a chance to travel to different places in the country. It was then that my interest in the outdoors was awakened, I grew up in the province so I was really close to nature. In one of our travels, my co-worker and friend Joy Fallarme saw my interest in the mountain and she pushed me to take part in a BMC. It took me 3 years before I was able to join one. Mike Walde, another workmate accompanied me in my training days up to the several training climbs that I had. The two of them serve as my mentor in mountaineering, they were the two people who believed that I can do it in the outdoors.
Because I love the beauty of nature, I love being one with it. No matter how tiring and difficult my climb may be, I am always energized by the beauty of the place that surrounds me. I am always amazed by how beautiful the world is! It is natural beauty untouched by the creative minds of people!
What are the things that you've done that you think many men can't do?
What has been the riskiest thing you've done?
Climbing Snow Mountain in Taiwan (our first winter climb in year 2008)! On our summit assault, the weather was so bad and there was less than 1-meter visibility. To make matters worse, we were climbing without safety devices like ice ax, rope and proper crampons. In other words, we were not properly equipped for an alpine climb.
Do you sometimes wish you were a man because being a woman impedes you from doing what male backpackers can do?
What can women do in mountaineering that men can't?
I can't think of any. For me, men and women can equally do the same thing in the mountain.
In your opinion, are there gender-related risks in travelling/backpacking/trekking? One could be unsafe if traveling in remote places alone or in an all-women expedition. To minimize the risk, I always make arrangements ahead of time when traveling alone. Or I join groups whom I know I can trust with my life.
What has been your greatest accomplishment as a backpacker/adventurer/trekker?
What is your ultimate mountaineering dream?
Quite a few male mountaineers have told me, they wouldn't wanna marry a mountaineer (for varied reasons). Are you aware of any stereotypes on female mountaineers?
None that I can remember. I always admire mountaineer couples and wish I can find a partner of the same interest too.
What should men know about women who climb?
That no matter how passionate we are about climbing or any extreme outdoor activity, there is still the soft side in us, the female side in us.
Do you think Mountaineering is Sexist?
No, I don't see it that way. For me, mountaineering and other outdoor activities offer equal opportunity to both men and women. What men can do, can also be done by women!
What is your message (if any) to women who aspire to climb?
Just go for it, keep the dream, and pursue it. Just enjoy being with nature and be with others who share the same passion. Start with the minor climbs, until you hit big expeditions!
Hi, im planning to trek snow mountain in Taiwan. how can i contact Ms. Cheryl? big thanks for the great feature.


What Defines a Good President?
Nothing happened in 1992 that did not happen in 1791. The Twenty Seventh Amendment was proposed on June of 1789 and ratified in 1992.
The clause has been paired with the Commerce Clause to provide the constitutional basis for a wide variety of federal laws. For instance, various reforms involved in the New Deal were found to be necessary and proper enactments of the objective of regulating interstate commerce.
Indeed, the influence of the Necessary and Proper Clause and its broader interpretation under McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) in American jurisprudence can be seen in cases generally thought to simply involve the Commerce Clause.
In Wickard v. Filburn (1942), the Supreme Court upheld a federal statute making it a crime for a farmer to produce more wheat than was allowed under price controls and production controls, even if the excess production was for the farmer's own personal consumption. The Necessary and Proper Clause was used to justify the regulation of production and consumption.
Also, in addition to this combination of clauses being used to uphold federal laws affecting economic activity, they also were used to justify federal criminal laws. For example, Congress in the Federal Kidnapping Act (1932) made it a federal crime to transport a kidnapped person across state lines, because the transportation would be an act of interstate activity over which the Congress has power. It has also provided justification for a wide range of criminal laws relating to interference with the federal government's rightful operation, including federal laws against assaulting or murdering federal employees.
In National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius (2012), the Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandate of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act cannot be upheld under the Necessary and Proper Clause. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in his ruling that the mandate cannot "be sustained under the Necessary and Proper Clause as an integral part of the Affordable Care Act's other reforms. Each of this Court's prior cases upholding laws under that Clause involved exercises of authority derivative of, and in service to, a granted power. [...] The individual mandate, by contrast, vests Congress with the extraordinary ability to create the necessary predicate to the exercise of an enumerated power and draw within its regulatory scope those who would otherwise be outside of it. Even if the individual mandate is "necessary" to the Affordable Care Act's other reforms, such an expansion of federal power is not a "proper" means for making those reforms effective."
According to its proponents, this ruling in NFIB v. Sebelius returns the Necessary and Proper clause to its original interpretation outlined by John Marshall in McCulloch v. Maryland. According to David Kopel, the clause "simply restates the background principle that Congress can exercise powers which are merely 'incidental' to Congress's enumerated powers."
James Wilson wrote the necessary and proper clause. Not only was it not elastic, it was limited to carrying out the limited and enumerated powers according to Wilson.
If you want to use a Supreme Court case, you will need to defend the constitutional basis of the case.
The commerce clause is limited to interstate commerce, not intrastate commerce. The clause is limited to the making the flow of goods between the states flow uninterrupted.
If anyone can produce and iota of historical evidence to the contrary, that would be great.

The NFA Hillier Senior Cup is a football knockout tournament involving teams from Northamptonshire, England and the surrounding area. It is a County Cup competition of the Northamptonshire Football Association and involves senior non-league teams. It has been contested annually (but for a few sporadic gaps) since 1883. Kettering Town have won the cup the most times, lifting the trophy on 31 occasions. The current champions are Peterborough Sports, who beat Rushden & Diamonds in the final in April 2022.

History
Initially named the NFA Senior Cup, the tournament was renamed in 1981. It was first held in 1883, and was won by Newport Pagnell. The trophy has since been lifted by 24 different sides (not including reserve teams). While Football League clubs Peterborough United and Northampton Town have contested in the past, the majority of entrants are from the lower-leagues of English football. The winner of the competition now contests the Maunsell Cup against one of Peterborough or Northampton.

As the wind whips its way around the solid stone keepers' cottage, I start to think about the mainland. Does Edinburgh experience gale force storms in the same way? In all my years of living there, I have to say no. Apparently it is only 60mph gusts, feels like more.
Why did I come to Shetland for a month? Why did I choose October to visit? The short answer would be "I was granted artist in residence" and "I wanted to see how the late autumn light would affect my work." This is the kind of application worthy spiel that started this journey but certainly not what drove it. I had lost my energy. In working hard and loving the purpose and passion behind my day to day job, I was empty. I had no energy or creativity left for me at the end of the week. This has never happened before, if anything creating art usually tops up the reserves.
I would be lying if I said that was it. Truth is that I have been in need of an adventure, a pilgrimage if you will. I don't think I am alone in this. Taking a block of time out to go find something, not being altogether sure what. There is no way this was a bad idea, right? As it happens, I was not keen on what I found in week one. Complete block. And not just block but complete and utter crisis of confidence. Who did I think I was? Sailing off to Shetland to play at being "artist" for a month. This kind of thing was for "proper" artists.
Talent is Overrated. An answer to prayer. For those who wonder about God having a sense of humour, I can confirm that he does. In fact it gets even better when you see who the quote of recommendation is from on the front cover. Bloody Trump!!
Anyway, after many hours of cliff side adventures, I headed home. I began to draw. I then drew some more and some more. I churned out 3 drawings in a oner. A couple of things I should mention. 1) I rarely draw. I prefer paint, it covers a multitude of sins and I am more confident at manipulating it. 2) I knew when each one was finished, no dithering. I just knew. 3) I did not imagine them beforehand, I just let them happen in the moment.
After this, I felt better. After this, I stopped caring about what kind of artist I could be classed as. After this I was knackered and needed to sleep.
The remainder of my time on Shetland was spent being greedy to see and experience as much as possible. Grabbing pockets of safe weather and maps, I covered a lot of ground. I sketched as I went. Sketchbooks have never been my thing. I would buy many sketchbooks and do one picture per page. I have cupboards filled with half completed sketchbooks. From this one month, I have one completed sketchbook and another half filled.
Once I stopped worrying about not being productive on this trip, I became productive. I have produced several canvases and multiple large scale pastel drawings (I should also mention that pastel is my least favourite medium) as well as a completed sketchbook and additional studies. Even at art school, I struggled to produce this amount of work, always apprehensive of the "theme" or "story" that would tenuously link it altogether. This body of work has grown out of a lived experience over a short period of time. I have created it without caring about giving it a purpose. In my head, its purpose to exist. To have been created. That's good enough for me.
Some of the attendees at the small exhibition I held in the lighthouse inquired about its purpose. Where will you exhibit this body of work next? Will you make a book of it? Is it for sale, can I buy one today? Do you have prints of them? While all of these suggestions and questions are valid and something I may explore down the line, I am happy just to say "I spent a month in Shetland and I made art." That is enough for me. For now.
Great blogs, especially this one. The outcomes of you residency at Sumburgh Head lighthouse are fabulous.
If you're not a proper artist I don't know who is. See you soon!

Amanda has helped me emotionally by encouraging me to challenge some habitual thinking. This has resulted in a 'shift' of ideas and perspective on life. That 'shift' has had a positive knock-on-effect in other areas.
She has enabled me to express emotions that I might not do with others.
She has helped me to realise the root cause of some ailments that started a long time ago. She has enabled me to change habits regarding diet. I have been able to give up certain foods that were not helpful to my general state of health.
I booked six reflexology sessions and honestly didn't really know what to expect although I had a tiny bit of 'layman's' knowledge of reflexology. The very first session was within an hour of receiving my letter of redundancy which reduced me to tears, and I felt quite despondent. I have to say that I left my session feeling almost 100% better. Amanda's calm approach and manner immediately helped me relax and I found the session very soothing. Her words of wisdom afterwards enabled me to see that this new period in my life was an opportunity to embrace change.
Amanda exudes a gentle expert confidence in what she does and without fail, I have been able to 'enter the zone' and relax totally in each session,after which I have felt more positive and energised mentally.
I will definitely be having more reflexology with Amanda/Spectrum and would recommend her to everyone.
I truly enjoy my massage sessions with Amanda. They allow me to relax and are my designated me time. She brings an atmosphere of calm and positive-thinking. This is exactly what I need to de-stress and unwind having a fast paced job.
Spectrum Living is described as "purveyors of extraordinarily good massage" and they are not wrong. The 'No Hands' combination massage is, quite literally, phenomenal. On a recent trip abroad, I had the misfortune to be sleeping in a very uncomfortable bed which made my back feel very sore. I dreamt about having one of these massages – if I had been a rich celebrity, I would have had Amanda flown out for an hour!
There is only one downside. Once you've had massage with Amanda @ Spectrum Living, no other therapist or massage will ever compare.
Amanda's back massages are amazing. Within a few minutes I felt inches taller. By the end I felt so relaxed. Amanda is a unique practitioner. She was also able to quickly identify some of my postural challenges which can be very painful, and recommend stretches which helped greatly.
Hi Miracle Worker… I have felt completely different since my treatment yesterday. No more fluttering and a very positive outlook. Many many thanks!
Several of our residents at Pentlands Nursing Home receive visits for Reflexology & Massage treatments from Amanda on a regular basis. They look forward to their sessions and benefit greatly.
Thank you so much for your friendly approach, intuition, skill and hard work. My client has severe learning difficulties, Charge syndrome and is registered deaf/blind. He also has a range of health problems, but your patience, time and skill base has helped us to better understand a person who would otherwise be unable to communicate the physical needs and conditions you have been able to locate.
You have made such a difference to his day to day life and helped us to approach medical and activity based issues with further sensitivity, better understanding and ingenuity.
Your calm and professional approach is instantly likeable and it's wonderful to see your interaction with our client and how much he enjoys your visits. To see him genuinely relax and give himself to you so freely is a delight. Your depth of experience and knowledge is invaluable and so refreshingly holistic.
We all feel very fortunate that you were the Reflexologist who was commissioned to work at this house, and regularly tell others of the benefits and how fantastic the overall experience has been for our client and staff. Long may the good work continue, and THANKS again!
We are a small residential service, supporting adults with learning and physical disabilities.
Amanda has been providing Reflexology for 3 of my clients and has done for up to 12 years.
The Clients that Amanda supports have conditions and symptoms which include Bulbar Palsy, Epilepsy, Landau Kleffner Syndrome, Tuberous Sclerosis, Prolapsed Mitral heart valve and a variety of social and anxiety problems.
Through Amanda's Reflexology, my team and I are able to grasp a far better understanding of our Clients' inner needs. Often the results of her therapy can be seen immediately, it's quite amazing!
Amanda has always been flexible to the needs of the individual as well as to the needs of our service. She always brings a sense of cheer and positivity to our home.
I cannot recommend Amanda enough. What she does is incredible.
I would be very happy to make a personal testimonial should anyone want more information about the wonderful work that Amanda does.
Amanda visits us at Findon House, which is a supported living house for adults with Acquired Brain Injuries. The gentleman that has reflexology seems to benefit greatly from her visits and is always cheerful and relaxed afterwards.
I have always found Amanda to be very reliable, professional and generally a very cheerful and positive lady. She is very knowledgeable within her field and often passes on very good recommendations to both clients and staff.
Amanda provided massage for one of my service users for a year, and developed an extremely good understanding of the individual.
The client is wheelchair bound, and non-verbal, and through spending time with Amanda, became more flexible than she had been for some years.
Amanda was intuitive enough to recognise when the individual had decided that she no longer wanted to continue with the activity.
Abi House is a residential service for young adults with learning difficulties and autism.
We sourced Amanda's services for 2 of our female customers, both of which are very different. One customer is non-verbal and has developed a bond with Amanda where she can engage in a positive 1;1 session and make the customer feel relaxed enough to enjoy and partake in reflexology.
The second customer looks forward to Amanda's visit and enjoys their 1;1 sessions thoroughly. Amanda is able to promote relaxation and give the customer the confidence to talk openly with her.
Amanda's visits are greatly received by both customers and staff, and Amanda has a good understanding of the customer's needs, and is aware that situations may arise where sessions need to be moved or cancelled at short notice. Amanda is very flexible and can move her diary to suit our customer's needs.
Amanda receives a wonderful welcome from the clients she visits. They look forward to her coming and once at the home she gives 100% devotion to their needs. Amanda delivers an individual package to each of them to ensure maximum benefit. Amanda is compassionate, warm and has a sunny disposition. I believe the clients value her visits. She promotes relaxation and well being that stays with them once she has gone.
Amanda always writes a detailed report before leaving and feedback is given to the staff on duty. These have proved to be very beneficial.
I have never once had reason to doubt her professional attitude to her work and have every confidence in her capabilities, I would be more than happy to recommend Amanda.
Amanda first carried out a one off corporate pampering day at my office for 11 members of staff, each of whom had half hour slots. When I sent the original invitation out to the staff in the office, I was fully booked in less than two days. We featured back massage, reflexology, Indian head massage and so on.
The days go well and some staff email me telling me what a great treat it was, how much they enjoyed the opportunity to de-stress and ask when it's happening again.
Personally, I find the experience like an oasis of calm in an otherwise busy day. It was terrific to have a treatment on site and I feel energised when I get back to my desk.
We now enjoy Spectrum Living's visits once a month as our Health and Safety remit at work (under stress management).

The goal of the cooperative project Mon²Sea is to develop and validate processes and infrastructures that can support production and logistics processes in the industrial manufacturing and installation of offshore wind energy farms from an (IT) technological point of view.
The project goals can be separated into three main components.
The first component consists of a conceptual development of an IT-based research platform for the material supply. This platform shall enable the control and the real-time monitoring of components and parts as well as loading equipment that is used for the handling of large parts. Within this component, the whole supply chain shall be mapped and represented. The supply chain begins with the 1st tier supplier and leads via the manufacturer of the plant parts to the offshore installation and the return of loading equipment to the manufacturer. Due to the innovational character of the supported processes in the offshore wind energy installation, this conceptual solution serves as a main element for the weather-dependent planning and controlling of logistic processes.
Furthermore, through this platform, a transparent access mean to status and flow data for all process involved individuals shall be established. By this, forward-looking and non-proven processes aspects like a company comprehensive process optimization shall be made possible.
Another component consists of the stochastic planning model for a weather dependent installation and assembling planning for the offshore construction of wind energy farms. This planning tool is based on the information that is generated by the real time monitoring and extends it with a module for planning. With the real time data, the model can provide support for several process aspects in the supply chain. These aspects could be the planning of construction vessel capacity, stock optimization and the calculation of emergency plans caused by weather changes or time constraints.
The third component is made up by an infrastructure consisting of innovative information and communication technology. By the use of Tracking & Tracing strategies as well as adjusted identification and localization automatisms, meaningful information about the material flow can be generated.
Basing on the interaction of these three components, the complex system can be developed. Therefore, configuration and tests of the respective hardware as well as solutions from the wearable IT field are conducted as a main element of the research project.
Further Information can be taken from the from the brief project description.

Q: Laravel Polymorphic OneToMany Let's say I have model House and House is built of different Elements like bricks, windows, doors, etc.
Now I imagine having a method on my House model elmentable() and when I call $house->elementable()->toArray() I get an array of different elements like bricks, windows.. with their respective properties or keys in the case of an array.
Unfortunately I'm not sure how to achieve this and if it is or if it is possible.
Any help on how to implement the mentioned use case would be great.

A: You essentially need a polymorphic relationship that has subclassed models. Say Brick and Window models which inherit from a Supply model.
class House extends Model
{

    protected $table = 'houses'

    public function supplies()
    {
        return $this->morphMany(Supply::class, 'house', 'supply_type', 'supply_id');
    }

    public function bricks()
    {
        return $this->supplies()->where('type', 'brick');
    }

    public function windows()
    {
        return $this->supplies()->where('type', 'window');
    }

    public function doors()
    {
        return $this->supplies()->where('type', 'door');
    }

}

class Supply extends Model {
    protected $table = 'supplies';

    public function house()
    {
        return $this->morphTo('house');
    }
}

class Brick extends Supply {}
class Window extends Supply {}
class Door extends Supply {}

This approach would give you the collective list of supplies as well as the benefit of separating the supply types nicely.
Not a typical polymorphic relationship but I think should work.


Apart from one part I found on Amazon, most parts (and more if you want to built it for instance inside a case) can be obtained from [WayBack] DC : Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits, see the pictures and links below.
I think [WayBack] power supply options for multiple PIs – Raspberry Pi Forums got inspired by this or vice versa.
