House, Senate May Leave Town a Week Early
By Steven T. Dennis and Jessica Brady
Posted September 10, 2010 at 11:20am
Updated: 2:17 p.m.
House and Senate Democratic leaders are seriously considering adjourning a week earlier than planned — at the end of the month — to allow their vulnerable Members more time to campaign, several aides told Roll Call.
Congress is set to come back to work next week; it had been scheduled to adjourn Oct. 8. But with their majorities at stake and little on the calendar for the next work period, Democrats now believe their time may be better spent at home.
Senate Democratic aides acknowledged Friday that talk of cutting the planned four-week work period short is growing, and senior House aides said they don't see any reason to keep Members in town if the Senate cannot get much accomplished beyond a small-business bill and a continuing resolution keeping the government operating past the Oct. 1 start of the new fiscal year.
That CR must be passed by the end of September, and once it's done, Democrats said, there's nothing that cannot wait until a post-election, lame-duck session.
The Senate has identified three issues it must tackle during the next work period: tax cuts, the small-business bill and the CR.
"It sort of depends on are we really going to be able to get anything done?" one Senate aide said. "If the assumption is no, then why should we be here so long?"
The aide said that leadership has started discussing the idea but needs to confer with Senators once they return next week. There's also the possibility that some Members may not come back unless they are really needed for a particular vote, the aide said.
One senior House aide said there's always a desire to rush to the exits in election years.
"No matter the side, no matter the climate, Members this time of year want to be home fighting their campaign. It's called good politics."
Another senior Democratic aide said House Democrats were prepared to go home early and blame Senate Republicans for blocking legislation.
But another House Democratic leadership aide dismissed the notion that Democrats would head out before Oct. 8, the target adjournment date. And Regan Lachapelle, spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), said, "We still have a lot to accomplish and the Senate is still planning on being in session through the beginning of October."
Several lobbyists said that while no decision has been made, they've been told by Democratic and Republican staffers that they expect Congress to adjourn at the end of the month.
"I think leadership is in knots deciding what they want to do," a Democratic lobbyist said.
"It's a phantom supermajority right now," another Democratic lobbyist said. "You don't have an overwhelming majority in the caucus that's in agreement in the direction we ought to be going. Members are going to stay true to their survival instinct at this point. It doesn't lend itself to party unity going forward."

On which channel and at what time to watch Bruges-PSG?
09/15/2021 05:53 am | UPDATED ON 09/15/2021 AT 5:55 AM
Marquinhos and Mbappé
Marquinhos takes the lead with the stars of PSG.
On the eve of PSG's entry into the Champions League, there is no lack of food for thought for Mauricio Pochettino.
The first concerns the goalkeeper position where Keylor Navas is now in the balance.
As a result of the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma during the summer, the Italian goalkeeper had his first start on Saturday against Clermont.
Right side, Achraf Hakimi is indisputable.
And it is the same in central defense of Marquinhos.
Despite a small alert in the ankle, Presnel Kimpembe should officiate at his side.
Uncertainty hangs in the left lane where Nuno Mendes hopes to settle quickly.
But Abdou Diallo has given guarantees in recent months and should start.
In the middle of the field, where Idrissa Gueye will be suspended, Ander Herrera should start the meeting.
Consequence of the blow to the knee received by Marco Verratti with Italy.
Danilo Pereira could be the surprise guest of the Parisian eleven.
The Portuguese is in balance with Leandro Paredes.
As is Georginio Wijnaldum.
At the forefront, Lionel Messi should experience his first tenure.
And therefore find Neymar.
And to be associated with Kylian Mbappé, for the first steps of the MMN.
PSG starts its European campaign on the lawn of the Belgian champion.
A year after falling from the start against Manchester United, PSG are entitled to a smooth start this season. To launch its European adventure, the club from the capital is indeed moving to Bruges. A visit that brings back good memories to Parisians in general and to Kylian Mbappé in particular, the Rouge et Bleu having won 5-0 on the lawn of the Jan Breydel Stadium two years ago with a hat-trick from the former Monegasque.
Read also: Messi, the problems continue
PSG will again count on the tricolor world champion but also on Neymar and Lionel Messi, this trip to Belgium to constitute the baptism of the MMN.
The poster is not the most spectacular but therefore generates a lot of expectations. And all the more so because it is the first time that the six-fold Golden Ball has played in Belgium.
The Bruges-PSG match will kick off at 8:45 p.m. and the match, refereed by Switzerland's Sandro Schare, will be broadcast on Canal +.

The main reason for the thickness of a concrete sandwich element is the requirement for the protective concrete cover for the steel reinforcement. By changing the steel reinforcement to non-corrosive textile fibre net this requirement could be strongly reduced. Use of textile reinforced concrete (TRC) makes it possible to produce much thinner and slimmer concrete facades in the future without changing their mechanical properties. This article presents selected results from Tekocrete project (Formas-BIC) concerning pilot production, modelling and full-scale testing of new light weight sandwich elements reinforced with AR glass and carbon fibre nets.

Finally my Dvorak TypeMatrix arrived! I'm typing really slow but after half an hour I don't have to look at the keyboard anymore, so I think learning it won't take very much time.
I don't think I'll get confused, | already use Mac and Linux layouts in combination with 4 different languages without problems.
Impressive. Even the minor differences between German and English keyboard layouts slowed me down when I still had a German keyboard in my old laptop.
Will you use one at work as well?

Q: Translate SQL Server update statement to MySQL I have a development environment with MySQL and a production environment with SQL Server.
This update statement works with SQL Server:
UPDATE THIS
SET <list_of_column_assignments>
FROM <table_name> THIS
JOIN ( VALUES (<csv1>, <csv2>,...) ) VALS ( <column_names> )
ON <list_of_primary_keys_comparison>

How do I translate this to a MySQL statement?
I'd like to have the same code for both environments (if possible).
Example that works on SQL Server:
UPDATE THIS
SET THIS.DSEndGeoSys = VALS.DSEndGeoSys,
    THIS.DSPrecisaoGeoSys = VALS.DSPrecisaoGeoSys,
    THIS.NRLatGeoSys = VALS.NRLatGeoSys,
    THIS.NRLngGeoSys = VALS.NRLngGeoSys
FROM TBEstabelecimento THIS
JOIN
(
    VALUES
        (
            'Icém - SP, 15460-000, República Federativa do Brasil',
            'APROXIMADA', '06291846001771', -20.4053212, -49.1625989, '1'
        )
) VALS ( DSEndGeoSys, DSPrecisaoGeoSys, NRCGCCEICPF, NRLatGeoSys, NRLngGeoSys, TPInscricao )
ON
(
    THIS.TPInscricao = VALS.TPInscricao
    AND THIS.NRCGCCEICPF = VALS.NRCGCCEICPF
)

A: MySQL requires a distinct approach: An INSERT with ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
Example above works like this:
INSERT INTO TBEstabelecimento (
    DSEndGeoSys, DSPrecisaoGeoSys, NRCGCCEICPF, NRLatGeoSys, NRLngGeoSys, TPInscricao
)
VALUES  (   'Icém - SP, 15460-000, República Federativa do Brasil',
            'APROXIMADA', '06291846001771', -20.4053212, -49.1625989, '1'
) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
DSEndGeoSys = VALUES(DSEndGeoSys),
DSPrecisaoGeoSys = VALUES(DSPrecisaoGeoSys),
NRCGCCEICPF = VALUES(NRCGCCEICPF),
NRLatGeoSys = VALUES(NRLatGeoSys),
NRLngGeoSys = VALUES(NRLngGeoSys),
TPInscricao = VALUES(TPInscricao)

Of course, the big benefit of such approach is when you have several VALUES like (csv1), (csv2), ... so you can do the whole update with only one command

Latest stats show that the average person uses around 143 litres of water every day. With our population growing by 100,000 people every year, we'll soon get to a point where there won't be enough water to go around.
This summer we're challenging everyone to save 10L of water a day. Think you can do it?
If you're lacking inspiration, steal some from our list below. Shh..we won't tell anyone!
About to empty your paddling pool? Grab a watering can and water the garden. Grab some buckets and wash the windows or even the car!
Carry a reusable water bottle to keep yourself hydrated on the move. Many local cafes and businesses will top up for free, so it's a no brainer!
3, 2, 1, water fight!
Got friends over this summer? Challenge them to a four minute shower, with the promise that even the last person will get a nice hot shower. Prizes optional.
New water butts are almost unrecognisable from the old green plastic bins. From oak barrels to terracotta pots, there's something for everyone. And it'll save you money off your water bill.
Summer salads, BBQs, and ice creams often mean less washing up. Save water, electricity, and dishwasher tablets by only starting the dishwasher once it's fully loaded.
Challenge someone to an outside shower, it'll be much quicker and will save a load of water! The question is..are you tough enough?
Make sure your plants keep cool and get enough water by keeping them in the shade on hot days and watering them with a watering can in the evening.


with the opening of the Shanghai World Expo, national innovative and creative products is becoming palpable, gradually opened the World Expo pavilions and buildings breathtaking creative veil.
Expo exhibitors include States, international organizations, businesses and cities. Many exhibitors of the exhibition design, exhibition design and event planning are very creative, and even some countries and cities is to show creative industries development topics.
it is reported that this Expo was one of the major initiatives is the establishment of the urban best practices area, industry was also known as "Small World Expo". Go near City best practice district, you will see Madrid of "bamboo housing" and "air tree" this two seat special of buildings after "adaptability design modified", became "simulation blocks" of organic part, show Madrid in social residential, and sustainable development and renewable energy using aspects of experience; you also will see a green low carbon of "home"--Olympic village, it all of building materials all from Beijing village, Olympic game Hou venues transformation produced of building waste, This can also be the Expo's only built it with construction waste section.
as the Chief planner of urban best practice area, National Committee member Tang zilai, told reporters: "the urban best practice area is the historical creation of the 2010 World Expo the city as exhibitors in the Expo for the first time, is also unique highlight of the Expo pavilions. "Tang Zi explained that the planning team's core ideas are: urban best practice area was not only from all over the world's urban best practices area, which itself should also block its urban best practices. For this reason, urban best practices area exhibition planning and planning and design of creative practice and exploration of the area.
not only that, but also at the Expo will see many strange and creative products. Tang zilai said: "creative Park design, logo design, exhibition design and exhibition design was perfectly the theme of the Expo, for the development of creative industries to provide a global platform for exchanging and sharing. "
media commentary, as a grand gathering of creative people in the world, the Shanghai Expo will lead the trend of world of creative industry development.
Tang zilai said Expo for creative industries to provide a rare opportunity for development, particularly in the design and planning, including urban design, architectural design, environmental design, exhibition design, product design (such as World Expo souvenirs) and a variety of activities (such as ceremonies, forums and performances) to plan, its demand for other events it is difficult to compare. He said: "the World Expo not only for the creative industry puts enormous demands, and also for the development of creative industries to provide a display, communicate and share the international stage. On one hand, makes people feel ' creative charms, to make life better, and encouraging people to engage in the creative industry and respected creative talent on the other, enabling local governments also recognize the unlimited development of creative industries. To promote creative industry entered a new development period in China. "
it is understood that, in recent years, the creative industries have a great development in China, especially Beijing, Shanghai, and creative cultural industry is rising at an unprecedented rate. However, the lack of creative talent, has become a major bottleneck hindering the development of our creative industries, it is noted that in New York, the cultural and creative industries talent 12% per cent of the working population; London is 14%; Tokyo 15%. Beijing, Shanghai and other places in China's cultural and creative industries account for less than 1 per thousand total employment of, so it is imperative to accelerate training of creative talents have been.
Central University of finance and Executive Dean of the Institute of cultural and creative analysis of Wei Pengju, along with economic development, compete more and more upstream--from competition in manufacturing, and gradually shift to upstream research and design competition. With the gradual transformation of China's economic growth mode, the cultural and creative industries will be a major focus of economic growth.
, Member of the National Committee of the Chinese National Academy of Arts tutor Chen Zui says: "China creative industry cannot be said to have no talent, if you look at traditional artistic creation, the Chinese idea is very strong and expressive. Innovation and technology development has a lot to do with China's creative industries other than technology is not developed enough, and collectively as an industry has not developed at the same time, creative industries also need commercial operation. "
it is reported that in 2006, Beijing officially launched the Beijing municipality on promoting the development of cultural and creative industries policy, the policy States that, "supporting colleges, career colleges and cultural creative enterprises combined with the construction of training base for cultural and creative industries, cultural and creative research and development training, training design, management and marketing agency talents. "In one hour, related to the creative industry in various tertiary institutions and professional have sprung up have been set up.
Wei Pengju interpretation of creative talent, said: "the creative talent is a broad concept, including creative arts, science and technology creativity and creative management talent, such as the Beijing Film Academy, media University, aims at fostering the traditional arts such as Dance Academy of creative talent, engineering colleges and major is the cultivation of creative talents of science and technology, and most lack needed creative management talent currently on the market. "
Wei Pengju believes that creative industries have become a new cultural phenomenon in the market economy. Creative without industry, inseparable from the market. Creative management talent, needs not only the combination of art and creative spirit, more need of art and can be combined, and market awareness of both the originality and creative talents.
accompanied by the opening of the Shanghai World Expo, the creative industries as a nascent industrial power, is blending with various industries, it has been said that my creative time has come for all. So how do you train more creative talents?
Wei Pengju, told reporters: "attaches great importance to creativity education in developed countries and a creative education, one is innovative thinking. Creative education is by far the most important part of basic education, in addition so that everyone has the right to close to the creative, let you feel the creative economy, creative product value and charm. As the Olympics allow more people to experience the glamour of sports, get the Expo, fresh ideas and creativity of the human spirit has more feeling. "
Tang zilai said: "creative industries social environment appropriate to the development needs and institutional building. The Government and various sectors of the community should be fully aware of the creative industries in the future economic and social development in the lead role, form a social atmosphere of respecting creative talent, creative talents to provide a more social environment of tolerance and integration. Meanwhile, the Government should establish and improve the system of protection of intellectual property rights, provides a healthy market environment for the creative industries. "
Tang zilai believes that creative people tend to have complex knowledge and skills characteristics blend should provide discipline for cultivating creative talents education, enable students to acquire knowledge and skills in the process of with diversity and choice.
Expo only a short 6 months, I believe, it left behind more than just gorgeous and creative places, will also leave creative seed in everyone's heart.

Blunt car seller tells man he's asking too many questions when he asks for details
August 6, 2021 - by sig-gluenet
If you're looking to buy a vehicle, it's fairly standard to quiz the owner about its history, but one seller wasn't interested and fobbed off an interested buyer
One man was left in stitches at a blunt seller's response to his questions when he asked about his car.
While it can be irritating if you're looking for a quick sale, if you want someone to buy your vehicle, you're going to have to provide some information.
It's standard practice if someone is spending thousands of pounds, as obviously, they don't want to buy something that will break a mile down the road.
But it seems one seller just wasn't in the mood – and told the potential buyer he couldn't purchase the car after all.
Sharing the exchange online, the buyer added: "The f*** does that even mean?"
They had written: "Hello, I saw your Craigslist ad and I'm interested in your vehicle. I just have a few questions."
The seller enthusiastically responded: "Questions about my car? Fire away."
But after the buyer asked about its history, and how many miles were on it – the conversation was immediately shut down.
The seller just replied: "I don't know, probably a lot. This car is most likely not for you if you have those kind of questions."
One person commented: "This is a red flag, don't even bother."
"That's code for 'this car is a piece of junk and I'm trying to oversell it to some poor soul for a POS car that might not be legal'", suggested another.
A third joked: "This is a red flag but it has holes in it and also it's on fire. What????"
Meanwhile, a woman spotted crying in a car park shared the sweet note she received from a dad and daughter.
Sharing it, the woman explained: "I was crying pulling into a parking spot to treat myself to fro-yo because I was having a day.
"I caught a glimpse of a teenage girl and dad in the car next to me while I was crying. When I came back after eating the fro-yo, their car was gone but this was in my door handle."
She added: "There's a LOT going on right now, and I've been feeling very bitter and defensive. This gesture melted my heart a bit and helped me feel less bitter.

An Imperial Stormtrooper's helmet which was made for George Lucas to help pitch Star Wars to movie executives is one of a number of movie memorabilia items going under the hammer today.
The auction also features the moon buggy from Bond film Diamonds are Forever, and the moustache worn by Charlie Chaplin in The Great Dictator.
The helmet, bought for just £40 by its current owner at a London car boot sale 12 years ago, is expected to fetch up to £7,000 at Christie's in London.
It was one of six helmets created as a visual aid for the director to make his final pitch to film company executives to fund Star Wars.
The helmet was subsequently used in the 1977 film and in The Empire Strikes Back.
The moon buggy featured in Diamonds are Forever - when Scottish actor Connery made his last appearance as 007, is expected to fetch £30,000.
The iconic machine fell into disrepair after it was used as the centrepiece of a worldwide publicity tour but was restored to its original condition over a number of years by its current owner.
Chaplin artefacts in the Film and Entertainment Sale, include the comic's truncheon from the 1917 hit, Easy Street; the whistle from 1931 classic, City Lights, and the cane from 1936 film, Modern Times.
The sale, at Christie's auction house in South Kensington, also features a collection of seven original Goon Show scripts from 1956 to 1957.
One of the scripts is from The Mighty Wurlitzer, one of Spike Milligan's favourite shows.
The script contains amendments, caricatures and doodles in the hands of Milligan, Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe, lending an insight into their visual interpretation of Goon characters and surreal scenarios.
The auction, on December 14, also features a rhinestone-studded gold vinyl tracksuit and custom made "gold" metal knuckle duster "Indahouse" ring worn by TV character Ali G.

The familiar opening chords of "Rebel Heart" opened NXT, but instead of Johnny Gargano making his heroic return, the NXT Universe was greeted by a grinning and gloating Tommaso Ciampa. Noting that he is often reminded of his loss to Johnny Wrestling at TakeOver: New Orleans, "Tommy Sports-Entertainment" told the NXT Universe that while Gargano may have won that battle, Ciampa will always win the war against his former best friend, pointing to Gargano's current injured state as supporting evidence.
Fed up with Ciampa's taunts, Candice LeRae interrupted the Superstar who has tormented her and her husband. She declared that Gargano's career might be in question following Ciampa's latest heinous attack but added that Ciampa knows that Gargano is the better man. LeRae also said she is done trying to reconcile how The Blackheart turned into such a monster. Ciampa showed no remorse, instead accusing Gargano of hiding behind his wife and saying Johnny Wrestling isn't half the man that he is. Before The Blackheart could finish his tirade, LeRae finally snapped and slapped him in the face.
Ciampa backed off, and although the sting of her slap left a red mark on his face, he looked satisfied as he waved goodbye to Candice, perhaps realizing that his diabolical plan to torment the Garganos has played out to perfection.
Lacey Evans def. Brandi Lauren facebooktwitter Tumblr Pinterest Email WWE NXT photos: May 16, 2018 After sucker-punching Kairi Sane two weeks ago, Lacey Evans was full of confidence as she headed into battle against Brandi Lauren. The Lady of NXT dominated Lauren and showboated while doing so, saluting the NXT Universe before nailing Lauren with a picture-perfect second-rope moonsault. Instead of pinning the outgunned Lauren, Evans lifted her to her feet only to drop her again with the punch that Evans calls The Woman's Right. The result was academic.
As a celebratory Evans exited up the ramp, she was cut off by The Pirate Princess. Looking for retaliation for Evans' unladylike behavior last week, Sane forced Evans into the ring, but before she could set sail with the InSane Elbow, Evans skirted out of harm's way and searched for high ground.
Even though she didn't land her dagger of an elbow drop, safe to say this round belonged to The Pirate Princess.
Ricochet and Velveteen Dream consider themselves worthy top contenders to NXT Champion Aleister Black, but they're not alone. Enter Lars Sullivan.
The Freak made his presence felt and his title ambitions crystal clear in the middle of a dazzling showdown between Ricochet and Dream. Before Sullivan's cruel intrusion, The One and Only and the ever-polarizing Velveteen Dream were gearing up for a classic in the making. Trying to outdo each other at every turn, Ricochet and Dream traded one jaw-dropping reversal after another. Both men feinted dives to the floor, only to put on the brakes when the other got out of the way.
After several athletic exchanges, Dream and Ricochet collided heads, paving the way for The Freak to storm down to the ring. As the referee called for the bell, Sullivan dismantled both Superstars with slams, avalanches and the Freak Accident, and then barked that the NXT Championship is his.
With a 24-karat gold necklace dangling from his neck, Kona Reeves continued to flaunt his finest fashion as he readied for battle against show-stealing luchador Raul Mendoza. Yet, as soon as the bell rang, Reeves' opulence gave way to aggression. Giving Mendoza little daylight, Reeves pounced on the Mexican Superstar and rubbed his face into the mat. Mendoza mustered a brief comeback, rattling Reeves with a flurry of offense, but it was too little, too late, and NXT's Finest eventually grounded the high-flyer with his signature move, the Hawaiian Drop.
Concerns about WWE U.K. Champion Pete Dunne being unable to keep the peace with unlikely teammates Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch turned out to be exaggerated, as the trio stood united — and triumphant — against their common enemies, Undisputed ERA.
The thrilling Six-Man Tag Team Match was all action from bell to bell. Though Roderick Strong anxiously avoided tangling with Dunne at the start, he was eventually forced to deal with the teammate he wronged at TakeOver: New Orleans. The BruiserWeight made him pay, ripping his knuckles apart with his tried-and-true joint manipulation (which Lorcan & Burch executed in triplicate with Dunne, targeting Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly).
Cole & O'Reilly later distracted the hard-hitting U.K. Champion, allowing The Messiah of the Backbreaker to take over and Undisputed ERA to cut off the ring. Dunne eventually broke free, and Lorcan roared into the fight, unleashing on all three members of Undisputed ERA. The battle raged on from there, and after The Panama City Playboy and The BruiserWeight both fell to the floor, Lorcan & Burch and the NXT Tag Team Champions were left to duke it out.
O'Reilly miscalculated his axe-and-smash combo on Burch at a pivotal juncture: The axe kick connected, but Burch dodged the forearm smash just as Strong leapt toward him, causing the champions to collide. Lorcan dropped O'Reilly & Strong with a double Blockbuster and then teamed with Lorcan to drill O'Reilly with a wheelbarrow DDT, snaring the victory for their team and notching a massive win over the reigning NXT Tag Team Champions.
Lacey Evans defeated Brandi Lauren (1:21)

Have you ever walked into a business only to discover everyone in there is cranky? It's like they all decided to put on their grouchy pants and wear them at the same time. Perhaps you've gone into a restaurant expecting to have a quiet lovely meal, and the waiter was less than satisfactory. There are times when our spouse is a bit on the 'short tempered' side. And, I just imagine you've been in 'crabbyville' yourself a time or two. Situations out of sorts, such as a surprise bill, unexpected family tragedy, unhappy family relationships, triggers worry, which causes moodiness. Sickness, hunger or exhaustion all bring on irritability. Thus we have a world of crabby people. It's difficult facing sudden changes in life and adjusting our attitudes quickly. We all have a tendency to bear it all to the world. People say, "If I feel bad, I want you to know it and feel bad too"!
But as a Christian, aren't we suppose to be different? Shouldn't we be the ones that bring a little sunshine into the lives of others? I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, well, that's impossible, because we all have bad days. But Jesus said, (Mat.5:13-16) "You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father."
He said you and I are the salt and the light of the world. We are distinct, adding the seasoning of God's nature, delaying the decay and dispelling darkness. If we become like the world, we can not affect the world. That's why it's important that we be different. A renowned pastor once said, "You are either being corrupted by the world or you are salting it".
Col. 4:6 says, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." Not only our actions but our conversation is able to add flavor to the world. However, a lot of people have a tendency to add 'spice' by speaking their own opinion or criticism. The scripture says, 'let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt...' Taking the time to be watchful over our conversations and our actions will most definitely help to preserve from corruption.
I close with the story read from Matthew commentary: A specific Pastor, tells an encouraging story about the "after taste" left by "salty" missionaries relating that "Pastor Paul Ndungu from Kenya, told us of a missionary couple that served for fifteen years among a particular people group in Kenya without seeing any outward response. He said they labored faithfully, serving the people, teaching the gospel, and doing all they could to set Christ before these people. But none responded until a couple of days after their departure. The missionary family's maid, two gardeners, and milkman converged upon the empty house, related how they now missed these Christians. All wept about this sense of loss, and reflected upon what they saw in them and what they had taught them. One by one they called upon the Lord, coming to faith in Christ. The church among that people group was born without a missionary but not without the salt and light influence of that Christian family that lived among these people for fifteen years, faithfully living unto the Lord. What they did not accomplish with their missiological approach they accomplished by being Christians in a decaying world."
Look around, do you see a lot of 'cranky' in your work place, at your school, among your friends or family? We then have to ask our self, are we being the salt or the light? Let's be the difference in the world. Shed a little salt and light!


Bobby Crozier, Horseback Emergency Response Team Manager with Border Patrol Agent.
AUSTIN - The Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) was honored with an Excellence in Emergency Management Award for the Horse Back Emergency Response Team at the 2014 Emergency Management Association of Texas Symposium, a few month back.
The purpose of the EMAT Annual Awards Program is to recognize the achievement and hard work of the individuals, organizations and jurisdictions that have made exceptional efforts to further the field of emergency management and to ensure a whole community approach to preventing, preparing for, mitigating against, responding to and recovering from disasters.
"There has been some research done on this. People's activities and movement are influenced by their animals, whether they are small companion animals or large animals, and they often end up putting themselves in danger. We recognized that we needed a way to help deal with such animal issues during an emergency, which would not only make animals a lot safer but ultimately their owners as well," said Dr. Dee Ellis, Texas State Veterinarian and Executive Director of the Texas Animal Health Commission.
The Horseback Emergency Response Team is comprised of approximately 25 Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) livestock inspectors and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) mounted patrol inspectors. The team was created in 2012 with a primary duty to locate, contain, identify, and move abandoned, stray, or injured livestock in the aftermath of a disaster. Texans can be proud, it's the only team of its kind in Texas and in the United States.
"The development of a mounted response team is a testimony to the dedication of TAHC personnel. These employees are volunteering to put themselves and their horses in harm's way to help with emergency response operations," said Dr. Ellis. "In the future, with proper training, these responders could assist not only with animal disaster issues, but also participate in other response roles as requested, including providing horseback security services, or participating in search and rescue operations."

Hey guys, today we are going to talk about Gen X Kodi Addon. Maverick TV Repository has been generating excellent addons from years and one more is added to the list. Gen X is quite different than Maverick's previous addons, it has some extra thing which you may not expect from an addon. This one includes all from Movies, TV Shows to Live TV, One Click section.
As we experience with other Best Kodi Addons, you will see best from the addon with Real Debrid, However, Gen X is worth useful without Real Debrid as well. Layout is simple and catchy while Navigation is pretty amazing with tons of choices. There is an option called Gen X Toolbox on the main screen from where you can directly pair any third party source such as Openload, Trakt TV, Vshare and etc. All other section are also sorted very well with their content types such as 4K UHD Movies, New Movie Releases, Music TV, The Comedians 18+, Openload Movies, Youtube and many more.
Gen X is now installed and ready to use.

Chris (CA)
Paul, what's the most important day of the weekend?
Paul Azinger
(2:32 PM)
I think from the Americans perspective, it's the first day. The home crowd and wanting to keep them in it and because of the past failures, I don't think they can afford to start in a hole.
Will (Denver)
I'm curious to find out what your thoughts were about the captain's job when you were a player on the team and how they compared to when you became the captain yourself?
I enjoyed all of my captains and I thought they did a terrific job and were very thorough. I asked two of my former captains to be my assistants. My Ryder Cup was different, because we had lost so many Ryder Cups that I revamped how the team was picked. I came up with the philosophy of picking the 12 and making 3 four-man teams.
Noah (San Pedro)
What was the greatest Rider Cup match ever, 1991 War on the Shore or Brookline 1999?
The War on the Shore was the beginning of the event no longer being perceived as just an exhibition and really a competition. That really put the Ryder Cup on the map in the States. That's when people became aware of it.
Doug (DC)
The U.S. seems to been having more and more rookies on the team the last few tournaments. Is that good or bad?
It's probably good for the team. There were 6 rookies on my 2008 team. I think fresh blood is good.
Especially since the U.S. has only won 4 times in 29 years.
Ajax (Amsterdam)
Do you think a low key approach to being Captain (ex. Fred Couples) works better than intense hard charging (Tom Lehman 2006)?
That's hard to know really. My personal challenge was to set my personality aside and communicate with the players according to their personality type. Who the players were was more important than who I was.
Tim (FL)
What day do you think the U.S. will struggle the most?
The U.S. has traditionally struggled with 4 ball. The U.S. does better with alternate shot format.
Jim (NYC)
Do you foresee Davis sitting Phil during any of the pairings ?
I think he could sit Phil and he could sit Tiger. My goal as captain was to not have a single player play all 5 matches, because historically they either lose or tie their singles match 75-80 percent of the time.
Ryan (Dallas, TX)
Paul,Howdy from Dallas! What are the chances Davis tags the vets for the initial matches?
I think what Davis will do is recognize that all 12 should play the first day. Four players will have to sit in the morning and four that play in the morning would have to sit in the afternoon. My advice to him is to get all 12 out in that first day.
Justin (Torrance CA)
Whose the best ESPN golfer right now...you, Andy North, or Curtis Strange?
I would say right now Andy North would beat Curtis and I like a drum.
Kevin (Louisiana)
I watched the War by the Shore documentary last night... fantastic stuff. I want commend you for your grit, then and now (I follow you on twitter). I really wished you would've punched Colin Montgomerie in the face on general principle BUT i know I'm asking too much....Now, to the question, Do you think this Ryder cup will be more jovial amongst the players and is there at least some bad blood between any of them? I would find it hard to like Poulter
First of all, did you like my mullet in 1991? I don't think there is quite the animosity we had for each other in 1991, simply because the European players live here and play here on a regular basis.
Peter (Los Angeles)
Do you think it helps or hurts to have Michael Jorden around the team?
I don't think that it hurts to have great athletes like the players. I talked with Jordan the other night and his role is minimal. He's there to help Davis, they've been friends since college. Michael told me that he's not there in a significant role.
Do you think Davis Love III use your pod theory when matching up USA players?
I did talk to him about it. His pairings today in practice were different than his pairings yesterday, which leads me to believe he's doing something different. He's very thorough and the players will like him. I think he's doing a great job so far.
What happened to two of the stars from your 2008 team, Anthony Kim and Boo Weekley?
I know that Anthony Kim has had a couple of nagging injuries. Boo Weekley has had a little trouble off the course, he and his wife have divorced and there are some emotional issues off the course.
Tina (Williamsburg)
What course here in America would you like the see host the Ryder Cup that hasn't in the past?
I would like to see Augusta National host the Ryder Cup and I want to be the captain.
James (Chitown)
How much control/input did you actually have in setting up Valhalla?
Well, I was given 100% control to my surprise, I was the first player to actually ask for control in setting up the course. Europe had been setting up the course over there for years. I worked with Mark to set it up and he was egoless. I consider him an intrigal part to our success.
JD (CT)
Paul, which step is more difficult for a player: from solid player to consistent winner or consistent winner to major tournament winner?
Probably going the second one, from a consistent winner to a major winner. There's just a hurdle there.
Devin (FL)
how hard is it getting guys to buy into a team sport of golf?
American captains have four days to get the players invested in each other, where one feels he can help the others get better. European players have had that since they were born. We are more bonded by our universities.
Ashley (San Francisco)
If it came down to making one 10 foot putt to win the Ryder Cup this year, who of this USA team do you want taking the putt?
Tiger.
Thank you very much. Great questions. Can't wait for this to start. I think Europe should be a slight favorite, but it's anybody's ballgame.

A commission is considering a law making daylight saving time last all year long.
BOSTON — Lacking authority to change the laws of physics to allow more sunlight on the darkest days of winter, a special commission is instead considering whether Massachusetts should change the laws of man and observe daylight saving time year-round.
If adopted, Massachusetts residents wouldn't have to set their clocks back in November and forward in March, as most of the U.S. does.
Benefits of having daylight saving time throughout the year could include energy savings and less seasonal depression, proponents suggest.
Skeptics argue it would be impractical for Massachusetts to make such a change on its own if the rest of New England does not.
And if the sun sets later in the day it also would rise later in the morning, posing dangers for children walking to school in the dark.
"Are we just going to be trading one problem for another problem?" asked Republican state Rep. Paul Frost, a member of the 11-member commission that met for the first time Wednesday and hopes to make recommendations by March 31.
Massachusetts isn't alone in weighing the pros and cons of doing away with the seasonal time shifts. California, Alaska and nearly a dozen other states have debated similar measures.
Some of Massachusetts' neighbors also have broached the subject.
"When I moved up here in 2011 I was horrified when the sun set at 4:11 p.m. and I thought to myself there has to be a better way," said Tom Emswiler, a Quincy resident who penned a widely read newspaper op-ed piece and then asked his state senator to file a bill creating the commission, to which Emswiler was later named.
The New England region juts out further into the Atlantic than other eastern states, making winter days seem even shorter, Emswhile said.
Public health data suggest more heart attacks and car crashes occur when clocks spring ahead in March and sleep patterns are altered, he said.
While potential energy savings are disputed, panelist Peter Shattuck said after Congress in 2005 extended daylight saving time by several weeks, energy consumption during that additional period decreased by 0.5 percent.
"If people don't have to turn on the lights as early, they use less electricity," said Shattuck, Massachusetts director for the Acadia Center, an energy and environmental advocacy group.
Commission members pledged to keep open minds.

EcoVadis Index 5th Edition (2016-2020): Mandatory EU Due Diligence a Challenge For Supply Chain Sustainability
October 6, 2021 EcoVadis
Business leaders are increasingly aware of the performance benefits to be derived from adopting sustainable practices. However, the data uncovered in the latest Business Sustainability Risk & Performance Index makes clear that it's not enough for business leaders to focus on the sustainability of internal operations. Adverse social and environmental impacts are embedded overwhelmingly in the upstream value chain and, as the European Union (EU) prepares to implement mandatory due diligence regulations, business leaders must act to integrate sustainability into the procurement function at every tier of the supply chain.
The EcoVadis Index examines the sustainability ratings of companies that have been assessed by EcoVadis. This comprises an overall, total score, as well as ratings derived from research organized across four themes: 1) Environment, 2) Labor and Human Rights 3) Ethics; and 4) Sustainable Procurement. You can read more about the EcoVadis ratings methodology and how scoring works in our comprehensive guide.
Europe: A Global Leader in Sustainability
At an average, overall score of 52.1 in 2020, companies based in Europe improved their sustainability performance by over a point on their 2019 total (51.0) and maintained a lead in excess of 5 score points over the next-best performing region, North America (46.5). This result correlates with findings published in other leading sustainability rankings, which have found that Europe is home to almost half of the world's most sustainable publicly-listed companies with a revenue in excess of $1 billion.
Nevertheless, it is essential that European business leaders do not grow complacent. For when one digs into the data underpinning overall average scoring, particularly that collated under the Sustainable Procurement theme, it is clear that significant sustainability risks continue to lurk in the supply chains of many European businesses.

The Importance of the Supply Chain in Sustainability Management
The most challenging of the four performance themes assessed under the EcoVadis ratings methodology, Sustainable Procurement is fundamental to scaling sustainable impact, building organizational resilience and effectively mitigating risk.
While many companies work effectively with direct suppliers to integrate sustainability considerations into the procurement function in the upper tiers of the value chain, the key to scaling the impact of a sustainable procurement program is to provide supports and incentives sufficient to cascade such measures beyond Tier 1 suppliers in order to ensure that social and environmental due diligence practices are implemented in procurement processes throughout the entirety of the upstream value chain. For no matter how many tiers separate an end product or service from an upstream supplier found to contribute to adverse social or environmental impacts, research demonstrates that the purchasing company is invariably exposed to considerable legal and reputational risk.
This is particularly the case for companies based in Europe as more and more national legislatures, as well as the EU, take steps to enhance ESG reporting requirements and mandate supply chain due diligence. The German Supply Chain Due Diligence Law, adopted in June 2021, for instance, mandates that all companies subject to its provisions undertake due diligence across all tiers of the supply chain. Similarly, proposed EU mandatory human rights due diligence legislation states explicitly that "companies' due diligence not only covers first-tier contract partners, but that obligations extend to a company's potential influence over additional tiers of the supply chain ('n-tier' suppliers)."
Sustainable Procurement a Major Challenge as EU Regulation Tightens
In light of this evolving regulatory landscape, it is concerning that global average scoring in Sustainable Procurement declined for a fifth consecutive year in 2020 to 37.6. While European businesses remain the global leader in Sustainable Procurement performance (42.0), and have maintained a consistent level of performance under the theme over the past five years, the data reveals a high-degree of variation in scoring across the continent and most businesses are unprepared to meet upcoming regulatory requirements at a national and EU-level.
Indeed, over 65% of companies rated by EcoVadis in 2020 have no sustainable procurement policies in place whatsoever, and it is striking that, on average, both European and EU businesses fall short of the 45 point threshold required to achieve a "Good" EcoVadis performance assessment under the Sustainable Procurement theme. They are, consequently, considered "medium-risk" in terms of supply chain management.
Sustainable Procurement performance held steady, and in some cases improved, among companies based in the EU's four largest economies (Germany, France, Italy and Spain), while those located in the bloc's most northerly Member States – namely; Sweden, Finland and Denmark – maintained their remarkably strong and consistent level of scoring under the theme. Striking, too, in the context of the ongoing regulatory and political fallout arising from Brexit, is the fact that UK companies' Sustainable Procurement scoring has declined in each of the last three years, contrasting starkly with the relative stability of the EU's performance as a whole.
Nevertheless, Sustainable Procurement continues to fall behind all other sustainability themes in Europe, as it does across regions. Indeed, even in the context of the EU, there can be observed significant discrepancies in Sustainable Procurement performance between Member States. This is particularly the case among companies located in some more southerly economies, such as Portugal, Cyprus and Malta, all of which averaged below 40.0 in 2020.
Similarly, there is a significant improvement potential for many central and eastern European states who acceded to the EU in 2004 and after. While companies located in Poland, for instance, achieved a modest improvement in Sustainable Procurement performance last year, they remain some way off matching the Union's more northerly leaders in the theme. Much the same could be observed of businesses located in neighbouring states such as Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The data is clear, therefore, that some European states will face a greater challenge than others in adjusting to a more stringent regulatory landscape going forward, and it is essential that companies begin readying their management systems early to meet new legislative requirements.
Time to Invest in Supply Chain Reporting and Supplier Collaboration
In assessing how companies can grow sustainability performance, it is difficult to overstate the importance of the procurement function. As recent McKinsey research demonstrates, 80-90% of the average company's greenhouse gas emissions are "Scope 3": indirect emissions that occur across the company's value chain, such as embedded emissions in purchased goods and services, employee travel and commuting, and the use and end-of-life treatment of sold products. And of these emissions, two-thirds can usually be traced to Tier-n suppliers in the upstream value chain.
As regulators at both a national and EU-level increasing legislate to compel European businesses to account for and address adverse social and environmental impacts in their supply chains, it is essential that leaders begin investing the time and resources required to cultivate requisite evaluation and reporting capacity. In practice, this means identifying choke points and mapping risk exposure ahead of time, and working closely with suppliers to formalize processes for identifying procedural violations and remedying adverse impacts.

98-F-141 - Settlement Clause restricting right to practice
BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE
FORMAL ETHICS OPINION 98-F-141
Inquiry is made about the ethical propriety of certain types of clauses included in releases signed to document settlement of personal injury cases.
The inquiring attorney has encountered certain clauses included in releases prepared for settlement of medical malpractice and other personal injury actions.
The four types of clauses mentioned by the inquiring attorney include confidentiality clauses, clauses requiring plaintiff's counsel to become a party to a release, clauses releasing the defense attorney in addition to the defendant, and clauses restricting the plaintiff or plaintiff's counsel from using case information to assist other litigants or claimants.
Confidentiality Clauses
Confidentiality clauses are provisions in a release which provide that the terms and conditions of the settlement are confidential and that the plaintiff and plaintiff's counsel will not reveal the terms and conditions of the settlement. The inquiring attorney states that confidentiality clauses are usually not negotiated and that they are forced upon the plaintiff after a settlement has been reached. Releases are contracts. Our understanding of contract law is that an acceptance which does not mirror the offer is a counter offer. A prohibition against negotiation of a release containing a confidentiality clause is inappropriate. No disciplinary rule prohibits such clauses.
The inquiring attorney makes a public policy argument supporting a total ban on confidentiality agreements. Those arguments are more properly addressed to the Supreme Court. The function of an ethics opinion is not to make public policy.
Clauses requiring plaintiff's counsel to become a party to a release
The attorney's signature on a release should vouch only for the fact that the client releases the defendant. A requirement that a plaintiff's attorney become a party to a release might create conflict of interest between plaintiff's attorney and the plaintiff in violation of DR 5-101(A). Therefore, these clauses are prohibited except in cases where the plaintiff's attorney releases a claim for attorney fees.
Clauses releasing the defense lawyer in addition to the defendant
Just as in the case of a plaintiff's attorney, defense counsel is not a proper party to a release except as the representative of the client. It is our opinion that plaintiff's counsel would be justified in refusing to negotiate such a term in most circumstances.
Clauses restricting plaintiff or plaintiff's counsel from using case information to assist other litigants or claimants
DR 1-208(B) provides that:
"In connection with a settlement of a controversy or suit, a lawyer shall not enter into an agreement that restricts the right to practice law."
As to existing clients, inclusion of such a clause in a release could be construed as the settlement of one client's case to the detriment of another client's case. Such a clause would constitute representation of differing interests in violation of DR 5-105.
As to future clients, ABA Formal Ethics Opinion 93-371 provides that it is ethically inappropriate to propose as part of a settlement agreement a restriction of a plaintiff's attorney from representing future claimants against the same defendant. Such clauses are ethically inappropriate.
ETHICS COMMITTEE:
Herman Morris, Jr, Chair
Frankie E. Wade
James M. Glasgow, Jr.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED BY THE BOARD
This 4th day of February, 1998.
To assist the Court in protecting the public from harm from unethical lawyers by administering the disciplinary process; to assist the public by providing information about the judicial system and the disciplinary system for lawyers; and, to assist lawyers by interpreting and applying the Court's disciplinary rules.

Sonia Nicolson - Layoutlines
Adele Conn: "Born and raised in Scotland's historical city, I grew up surrounded by beautiful architecture. Old stone buildings with character and charm. Walking around the city you will discover some true gems, and looking up is where the best surprises can often be found."
Sonia Nicolson: "I live in the world of food. My partner is a chef and owner of two restaurants, so I eat and sleep food. I love eating out, I love tasting new things, trying new experiences, making food and talking about it."
Sightseeing in Edinburgh
"Historically, Edinburgh has always been a hugely important city within the United Kingdom and the sheer variety of age and design in the buildings reflects this. To help understand this better we asked Sonia to show us her hometown.
"A walk along Princes Street will give you wonderful views of the Castle and the rear of the Royal Mile but it will also allow you to look above the shop fronts and take in the stone carvings and language of each building's facade. At each end of George Street you can enjoy the Georgian architecture of UNESCO protected Charlotte Square against the contracting modern renovations of St Andrews Square. Walking south of the city centre will take you to the Royal Mile and St Giles Cathedral, the small but delightful Thistle Chapel is not to be missed. Heading up towards the Castle, the Hub is a wonderfully bold interior where many have ceilidh'd long into the night.
Victoria Street is one of my favourites, sweeping you elegantly down to the Grass Market and up towards the National Museum of Scotland where old truly meets new in a wonderful architectural celebration. Take a walk toward McEwan Hall where students graduate in a grand circular hall surrounded by buildings of historical academia. Wander through the Quatermile, a luxury residential complex in Edinburgh's former hospital and look over at Heriots. End your tour at the Edinburgh College of Art's Sculpture Court, with its high ceilings and replica carvings from the Acropolis in Greece."
Water of Leith Walkway
"To add a touch of greenery to your visit, you'll be hard pressed to find something more impressive than the Water of Leith Walkway- a sight for urban wildlife to flourish in areas where it might otherwise not be found, including as many as 80 different species of bird).
The area is home to a number of rare wildlife species including deer, kingfishers and on occasion otters. The waterway is decorated with old buildings, forestry and things to do, whether you are making use of the cycle path or visiting one of the art galleries along the route."
Food festivals in Edinburgh
"Edinburgh is a cultural haven, with notable influences from all over the world helping to create one large melting pot of amazing food, music and creativity, so its food festivals are not to be missed as they combine all of these!. Adele is the authority when it comes to finding good food in Edinburgh, so is the perfect person to recommend her personal favourite food festivals.
"Take a 10 minute stroll from Princes Street towards the grand Union Canal in the heart of the city and discover one of Edinburgh's best weekly food markets - Street Food Fridays at Fountainbridge. Open all year round, every Friday from 11am-7pm, a bunch of passionate independent traders set up their mobile stalls alongside this revitalised waterway to dish up tasty global delights such as Columbian Cornbread Arapas, Malaysian Rendang Curry, Swiss Alpine Dumplings, Irish Pakoras and Greek Souvlaki. The line-up of street traders changes from week to week so you'll be sure to find something new to eat every time you visit.
A recent addition and now a strong contender on the Edinburgh Foodie scene is the Edinburgh Food Festival held in the height of Summer in the glorious gardens of George Square. This five day festival showcases the best of Scottish produce, producers, makers, street food and; talks & debates featuring some of the industry's most talented chefs, food champions and cutting edge food entrepreneurs. It's a fun filled packed week in a very relaxed setting. A local foodie haven and a highlight on the Scottish Food Calendar"
Visit Cramond Island
Cramond Island is found around a mile out to sea, just outside of Edinburgh. When low tide comes around you can easily walk across to the island, which has played a part in Scottish history as far back as Roman times yet as recently as the Second World War.
Evidence of the island's former roles can still be found around Carmond, as a few old buildings still remain there, including coastal defence structures from the Second World War, which can still be freely explored.
Highlights of the National Museum include the Millennium Clock, an early example of a guillotine and Dolly the sheep- famous for becoming the first successful clone of a mammal. There are more than 800 items on display to see, with something new to discover with each visit and plenty to keep visitors of all ages entertained.
To make the most of your stay in the city you'll need to spend more than just a day there, and there are plenty of great hotels in Edinburgh to choose from, whether you want to use a hotel in Edinburgh city centre as a base for your explorations or if you'd rather find cheap hotels for overnight accommodation, you'll find something to suit your every need.
