<input type="text" name="smsText" value="text sms to send to all">
<input type="text" name="recipients[]" value="3471234567">
<input type="text" name="recipients[]" value="3359876543">

And I need to send to a php page with an ajax call.
I've this function that i use in many scripts
$("#sendSms").click(function(){
    var text = $("input[name=smsText]").val();
    var recipients = $("input[name=recipients]").val();
     var datastr ='text=' + text +'&recipients=' + recipients;
    $(over).appendTo('#box');
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "send-result.php",
        data: datastr,
        cache: false,
        success: function(data){
            $('#box').html(data);
        }
    });
    return false;
});

Please, i need help to modify my function to send both "smsText" and array recipients[] to other php page via Ajax...
Thank you very much!

A: Have a look at jQuerys functions .serializeArray() and .serialize()

A: Replace your following code:
var recipients = $("input[name=recipients]").val();
var datastr ='text=' + text +'&recipients=' + recipients;

for this one:
var datastr = '';
$("input[name='recipients[]']").each(function() {
    datastr += '&recipients[]=' + $(this).val();
});
datastr ='text=' + text + datastr;

that should do what you want and cause PHP to create the array variable $_POST['recipients'] with all your values in it.

A: Try:
var datastr = '&recipients[]=';
var arr = [];
$("input[name='recipients[]']").each(function() {
  arr[] = $(this).val();
});

datastr ='text=' + text + datastr + arr;

A: If the fields are contained within a form, you can use jQuery's serialize() method to convert the fields into a string to send via Ajax
<form id="sms-form">
    <input type="text" name="smsText" value="text sms to send to all">
    <input type="text" name="recipients[]" value="3471234567">
    <input type="text" name="recipients[]" value="3359876543">
    <input type="text" name="recipients[]" value="3201472583">
</form>

$("#sendSms").click(function(){
    var datastr = $("form#sms-form").serialize();
    $(over).appendTo('#box');
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "send-result.php",
        data: datastr,
        cache: false,
        success: function(data){
            $('#box').html(data);
        }
    });
    return false;
});

A: Try
html
 <form name='ohForm' action="#">

     <input type="text" name="smsText" value="text sms to send to all">
     <input type="text" name="recipients[]" value="3471234567">
     <input type="text" name="recipients[]" value="3359876543">
     <input type="text" name="recipients[]" value="3201472583">
     // and others components

 </form>

javascript
          $("#sendSms").click(function(){
                var form = $("form[name='ohForm']");
                var datastr = form.serialize();
                $(over).appendTo('#box');
                $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "send-result.php",
                    data: datastr,
                    cache: false,
                    success: function(data){
                     $('#box').html(data);
                    }
               });
        return false;
    });

php
         print_r($_POST['data']);

The Face & Body Art International Convention is a wonderful experience for artists around the world to come together to learn, create, network, and have FUN! Our 16th annual FABAIC will be held in Orlando, Florida at the Doubletree Hotel at the entrance to Seaworld. From May 22nd to May 26th, 2019 we will have classes from the best instructors around the world, nightly jams, networking activities, competitions, and so much more. Attendees will walk away with the tools they need to transform their business, a whole new set of creative skills, and unforgettable memories.
We believe that the best investment you can make is in yourself, and every dollar of your registration is dedicated to creating a convention experience like no other. For registration details and pricing, visit FABAIC.com. We have payment plans available that will help dispurse the cost of registration across the months leading up to the convention to make payments more manageable. For more about our payment plan, click here.
The average attendee spends about $1,000USD over the course of the convention between food and shopping in our marketplace- where top vendors from around the world bring their latest and greatest products. Dinner is included with our Sunday Night Gala event, but eating accomodations for the rest of the week will be on your own. There are several low- cost dining options surrounding the hotel, and each standard hotel room comes with a refrigerator for those who want to stock up on groceries and save some time and money!
For those who are ready to start saving money before the big event, here are a few pain-free ways to start stashing your cash and hit your FABAIC fund goal by next May.
Qapital: connect to your debit account, and set up automatic saving rules to reach your FABAIC fund goal- you can even apply multiple rules to the same goal. The "Round-up" rule will round to the nearest dollar for every purchase that you make- meaning if you spend $10.27 on lunch, it will be rounded up to $11.00, putting $0.73 automatically into your savings. The "Freelancer" rule determines how much of each paycheck deposited you want to save towards your goal. Other fun rules to automatically save include everytime you post an instagram, hit the gym, or even save when the sun is shinning! Qapital is completely free to use, and withdrawing your money typically takes 2-3 business days.
Track your flights: use apps like Hopper and Skyscanner to monitor the cost of your flight to Orlando for the convention. Easily set up alerts to be notified when prices drop, and their recommendation on the best time to book.
Ibotta: for those who love to shop- this one is for you! Browse deals from brands, products, stores, restaurants, movies, and more- and add them to your "shopping list". Buy the products you selected at one of their 500,000 participating stores, and make sure to save your receipt. Using the app, take a picture of your receipt and Ibotta will match the items you bought to the offers you selected and give you the cash back directly to your debit account within 48 hours. Use it with the Qapital app above to automatically put every Ibotta deposit into your savings account, both are completely free to use.
The 52 week challenge: Save $1,378 over the course of a year by gradually increasing your savings by $1 each week. Use the chart below to monitor your weekly savings, the most you will have to put away in one week is $52- just make sure to keep it in a safe place, don't spend it until the FABAIC, and keep checking off each week you put away money to keep yourself accountable.
Tip Jars: turn your tip jar into your savings account! Set a goal for yourself to save every extra dollar you make on the job towards your FABAIC fund. Get creative and decorate your jar to remind yourself and others what this money is going towards.
Vision boards: One of the most powerful tools to manifesting what you want is to put those goals in front of you every single day. Vision boards are an amazing visual representation of what you want to achieve, and can help you keep your eyes on the prize! Create a FABAIC vision board with how much you want to save, who you can't wait to meet, designs you would love to learn and more. Hang it up in a place you will be able to see it every single day. The power of seeing your goals in front of you daily is undeniable.
We hope to see you in 2019! For those attending or thinking of attending, make sure to join our Official FABAC 2019 Facebook Group to connect with attendees, ask questions, find roommates/ models, and more!

DelWine Top Ten Indian Women of Wine (WOW) 2021 Award announced
admin August 17, 2022 10 min read
Posted: Wednesday, 17 August 2022 19:32
Aug 17: The 5th edition of the much awaited Top Ten Indian Women of Wine (WOW) has undergone several changes, partly due to Covid and also the widening scope, with 4 new faces- Ipsita Das, Puja Sekhri, Priyanka Save and Vaniitha Jain finding place and Reva Singh and Sonal Holland MW being inducted to the delWine Top Ten WOW Hall of Fame, writes Subhash Arora who invites the readers to come and meet a majority of them at a Masterclass
The delWine Top Ten Award for Indian Women of Wine (WOW) was conceptualized by Cavaliere Subhash Arora in 2013 to encourage more women to enter the wine world, then considered a man's domain, and to recognize those who excel. The biennial Awards is limited to women working actively for at least 5 years substantially promoting wine through their areas of specialty such as production, winemaking, sommelier, marketing, imports, retail and education and ascent in the corporate world of wine.
Aeisha Sahni
Ipsita Das
Kadambari Kapoor
Madhulika Bhattacharya Dhall
Priyanka Save
Puja Sekhri
Reva Singh
Rupali Bhatnagar
Sonal Holland MW
Vaniitha Jain
According to delWine' s policy, we had decided to induct those ladies who find a place for 5 years in the Top Ten List, into the Top Ten WOW Hall of Fame. Reva Singh and Sonal Holland MW have been present in all the 5 editions and as such are accorded this special Honour. They will be excluded from this list in future.
The 2019 Awards were announced at the delWine Excellence Awards which were kept in abeyance during the Covid-19 pandemic and cannot be organised this year. The List is in alphabetic order of their first names as compared with the previous one that was by their family names.
Aeisha Sahni is the Head of Wine Business at John Distilleries Ltd. Making Big Banyan brand of wines. She started her career with wine in 2011 after graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in hotel management. Her passion for wine was triggered during her internship at a hotel in Provence in the South of France in 2007. The hotel was attached to a Domaine and a vineyard where she often volunteered during the harvest season. Thus began her love for the beverage and the winemaking process. She has been with John Distilleries for about 11 years. Her involvement has been with sales, marketing, brand building, the new winery in Bangalore, wine tourism and the day to day operations, growth and profitability of the business, working closely with the wine making team. She maintains a fine balance between raising her two young children and the job.
Ipsita Das makes it to India's Top Ten WOW List because of her management acumen and capabilities in the corporate world, especially in the Luxury segment. She is the Managing Director of Moet Hennessy with over 13 years of experience in Sales and Operations and Management. She began her career after post-graduation degree in Strategy and Marketing from the Indian School of Business. After corporate jobs in companies like Uber and Maersk, she joined LVMH as the Commercial Director in September 2019, and became the Managing Director of Moet Hennessy India in January 2021. She is the Vice- President of the- Indo-French Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IFCCI), and an active Board Member of the International Spirits and Wines Association of India (ISWAI).
'These are exciting times for the Indian market, not just for the award- winning Indian Chandon that we produce in our winery in Nashik, but also for our larger imported portfolio for which India is an emerging market. Besides the established hospitality and retail business, our focus is also on weddings and the corporate market, as we grow our presence in the subcontinent', she says.
Kadambari (Kay) Kapoor returned to India after 10 years in the US and exited her corporate career to focus on the nascent wine industry in Kolkata but shifted base to the more vibrant Mumbai. She concentrated on sourcing, marketing and education, leaving the back-end logistics to experts. Resentment from the trade, excise and custom authorities made her even more determined. She decided to learn the liquor business ground up and set up own temperature-controlled bonded warehouses in 2009. Over the last dozen years, her importing company Gusto Imports has stayed true to its mission of bringing quality wines to India. With a compact portfolio she chooses one producer from each iconic terroir for building brands and markets by focusing on service, storage, and consumer satisfaction. Her wines range from entry level to Grand Crus but share the common attributes of authenticity, balance and value (ABV).
Madhulika Bhattacharyya Dhall is a multi-talented powerhouse, a PR professional and a Radio Jockey who spearheaded the capital's premier wine and liquor store La Cave in Delhi in 2015 which quickly became Delhi's most discerning wine and alcohol store. She also established a 5,000 square feet retail store in Bangalore, stocking 350 labels of fine wines, spirits and beer from all across the world. She believes Consumer-led events are a key to expanding the customer base and the market. Her wine dinners have become legendary. Wine has always been her passion and she loves the ethos behind it. "I want to make wine more accessible to consumers who are intimidated by it. La Cave was never just a store but about connecting with consumers and shedding the pretentiousness," she says. She has been expanding significantly in Bangalore with 2 stores at the airport. She also handles the Retail stores of Nature's Basket wherever wine is sold, through a 'store-within-a store' concept. Madhulika says people must stop viewing alcohol purchasing as disreputable, especially women who need space where they can purchase wine and liquor without patronisation.
Priyanka Save and her husband Nagesh Pai set up Hill Zill Winery in 2017 to produce Chikoo wine in a small town called Bordi in the tribal belt of Maharashtra. She took 5 years to obtain the production license after applying in 2011 but the excise duty was still payable since only (grape) wine had been exempted by the Maharashtra Excise Policy of 2001, in force till 2021. This technical error was rectified, thanks to her regular follow ups. She has now expanded into a wide range of fruit wines including Mead (honey wine) labelled as Arka. She is constantly upgrading the production facilities and expanding her market across India. She has worked even with North-eastern producers and is always happy to lend a helping hand to the fruit wine producers across India. She has recently set up another joint venture project in Solan (H.P.). Her education in the US made her open enough to educate people about fruit wines even if they could become potential competitors. She organised a fruit wine conference at the winery resort before Covid, where potential producers participated from different parts of India.
Puja Sekhri, Director of the family-owned Fratelli Wines has been a part of Fratelli since 2011, primarily involved in marketing activities alongside Mr. Kapil Sekhri in the beginning. She got more actively involved in the company operations in 2020 and now heads the marketing, branding and designing operations. She spearheaded the entire label re-designing and rebranding of Fratelli's range of varietal wines in the year 2021. She plays an important role in developing and keeping alive the organisation's culture. Puja also oversees the Personnel functions in the Company. She also heads the day to day management and marketing operations of Fratelli's new segments- Hospitality & Cheese.
Reva Singh*
A former English professor and magazine publisher, Reva K. Singh is the owner and editor-in-chief of Sommelier India (SI).

A founding member of The Wine Society of India, serving on its Board of Wine Advisors, Reva has travelled and tasted wines from around the world and judged at international wine competitions.

A post graduate from Delhi University and a graduate of the Radcliffe Publishing Course at Harvard, Reva did the WSET Intermediate and Chêne Bleu Extreme Wine Course with distinction. We are happy to induct her into the delWine Top Ten WOW Hall of Fame.
Rupali Bhatnagar is Associate Vice-President and Chief Winemaker- White and Sparkling wines at Sula Vineyards. She has been in charge of winemaking for sparkling wines since 2008. Through experimentation she created an unusual blend of Chenin Blanc, Shiraz, Viognier, Riesling, Thomson and Zinfandel to make a white sparkling base. She successfully created India's first Sparkling Red wine using Shiraz, in 2018. She handles all the processes during winemaking. Her idea behind creating the wine is to maintain balance in terms of palate, flavour profile and texture. Her winemaking philosophy is all about making delicious wines that everyone can enjoy drinking again and again. She believes in Sustainable Agriculture more than the techniques and believes that protecting the environment is more than just good for the planet; it is good for her wines. She is very pleased that she reached the current position without having any formal education in winemaking or any harvests overseas. She joined Sula Vineyards in 2006 as a lab technician and progressed within the organisation by changing roles over the years.
Sonal Holland MW*
Sonal Holland has been on the WOW list since the beginning, not least because she is India's only Master of Wine but has also been blazing the trail with her wine initiatives. She firmly believes that India's importance as an emerging market for wine is higher than ever before now.
Sonal's vast cultural knowledge makes her a sought-after strategic consultant for international wine companies. Through the SoHo Wine Consultants, Sonal advises on import strategies and is actively working with international trade associations and individual companies on how to enter and succeed in India. She is the Program Ambassador for South Australian wines, and works with the California Wine Institute, wines of Chile and Argentina, among other countries, to help establish their presence in India through a series of marketing activations.
In 2018, she collaborated with UK-based Wine Intelligence to release India's first comprehensive survey on the Indian wine consumer and recently released the India Wine Insider 2022. The report throws light on the trade and importer landscape, Indian wine consumer behaviour and simplifies understanding of the regulatory framework and labeling laws across different states.
Sonal Holland Wine Academy is India's foremost WSET-approved course and recently launched its proprietory online courses – Certified Wine Pro and Advanced Wine Pro, enabling world-class wine education across cities in India at affordable price-points. She founded the annual India Wine awards in 2017. Vine2Wine is her retail venture, with 3 wine-specialist stores across Mumbai and Bengaluru. She believes in keeping wine real and relatable among the growing community of wine-lovers in the country who are eager to embrace the wine lifestyle.
We are happy to induct Sonal Holland MW into the delWine Top Ten WOW Hall of Fame.
The Mumbai-based Vaniitha Jain is founder of The Perfect Pour-a wine, spirits, and lifestyle consulting firm. Combining formal training with varied experience, she has worked in the industry including Suntory Whiskey group in Japan, the Four Seasons Hotel, and the Taj Chambers. She has collaborated with brands by mixing exciting flavours; for instance- whiskey with coconut water, and green tea to familiarise Indians with signature flavours from around the world. As a consultant she advises her clients on building import strategy including portfolio and brand management, designing food and beverage programmes, and the curation of drink menus for a variety of events. She is also an international wine judge. Recently, she has designed her own style of chic wine glasses called 'The Connoisseur Collection' in collaboration with Dartington Crystal of UK.
Indian Wine Academy, delWine and delWine Excellence Awards congratulate the Top Ten Indian Women of Wine (WOW) and hope these role models continue to motivate and mentor younger women to rise and shine in the wine world where women have made a place for themselves and are constantly chiselling away and making a place for themselves on merit.

Men in police uniforms 'massacre' unarmed civilians in Haiti
By Zamira Rahim, the Independent, Jan. 16, 2019
At least 21 people have been murdered in Haiti, after a group of men in uniform opened fire on unarmed residents in an impoverished neighbourhood.
The men arrived in Port-au-Prince, the country's capital, in a police truck, carrying machetes and guns.
They were accompanied by local gang members and went house to house, gathering up unarmed civilians who they then shot dead or killed with machete blows in alleyways.
"When I saw them I thought they were providing security but then I realized they were shooting at the population," said Marie-Lourdes Corestan, a local resident. "They were shooting, and I was running to save my life."
She said that neighbours told her that the men had killed her unarmed 24-year-old son.
Survivors have many theories about the masked killers behind the massacre. Some claimed the group were gang members working with corrupt police officers.
Others speculated that Haitian government officials had orchestrated the killings to prevent anti-corruption protests that often start in the neighborhood, which is an opposition stronghold.
United Nation (UN) peacekeepers left Haiti in October 2017, at the end of 13 years, because conditions in the country had supposedly improved.
But Port-au-Prince residents told reporters that a number of neighbourhoods in the city were controlled by armed gangs.
"These lawless zones are multiplying," said Marie-Yolene Gilles, head of a local rights group, Fondasyon Je Klere, which put the death toll as high as 25.
"The authorities have said nothing," she added. "They haven't even condemned this massacre."
"There were worrying episodes of violence in some of the most notorious neighborhoods of Port-au-Prince, areas where state authority is limited," Helen Meagher La Lime, head of the UN Mission for Justice Support in Haiti, said.
"Investigations by both the authorities and human-rights organizations are ongoing, and our human-rights service is also working to determine what happened."

The fruit is heart-shaped with a rough green skin and soft fleshy spines. The fresh meaty flesh is juicy and slightly acid producing a rich creamy thirst quenching juice. Superb when fruit is pureed with 1/3 of vanilla ice-cream. Also known as Graviola or Guanaban. Not suitable for temperate climates.
This was our first tree - had one fruit the first year - but what a beauty! Second year had a couple but they went 'black' and were no good. Third year we had 17 - beautiful. My wife makes Soursop Scones and Soursop Ice Cream - to die for.
It is a tree, though still small, that my father grew from a seed for me. I like the flavour and you can do a lot with the fruit like make ice-cream etc. Looking forward to it growing and fruiting.
This fruit tastes great, like lemon sherbet. I have two trees and both a doing well despite a fair amount of neglect. One is in the ground in full shade, the other in a pot with moderate sun.
Comments: - These were our second lot of Soursop Trees  - we have now bought another plant today - we have heard they are a great cancer cure - they are known as Graviola and come from the Amazon area - refer to internet for more details.
Winter 2011: 2 seedlings just coming up from collected seeds! Yay! They have taken longer than most of the other seeds but they are here now so I am happy!
We think it has died - but we're waiting to see if there is any life still in it.
Comments: - Seems to grow really well in Perth, have already been using many of its leaves in tea (they also have a nice fragrance).
Bought from Daley Nursery, I bought all my fruit trees here, because they all arrive healthy and in good condition. I haven't lost a single plant yet (touch wood). My Soursop has been in the ground for 6 months and has a long way to go. It's growing in the coastal area of southeast Qld. It is slow growing at this stage. This could be a number of things, it loves the tropical weather (currently in subtropics) and that it hasn't been in the ground long. It will die if too cold and the new leaf will burn in hot winds (hates winds in general, hot winds even more). I have it surrounded by other plants as a sheild. I normally don't baby plant's just put them in and let them toughen up or die. I am however monitoring this plant more because I want to know the Soursop requirements and problems in less than the ideal environment. Will keep you updated. 11/02/2017 Just notice darkness on the stems near a few leaves which seem to be drooping, hoping it's not fungus. I made up some nitrosol solution and gave it a feed. It has been very hot today 37 and tomorrow will be 40 so will see how it handles the heat. Also will see if the feed helped.... Yes the feed helped leaves got greener. Loved the heat 40. I always let the ground dry completely before watering again. This plant does not like it too wet. I will upload another picture in another six months.
Comments: - Great fruit , healthy too . Like a zesty custard Apple . Great juice . This one came from the markets , a selected sweet variety , will suit a pot .
Soursop is an amazing fruit which i love but is ridicously expensive to buy from the asain supermarkets! very hard to find in coles or woolworths here in Adelaide - hence i am attempting to grow my own!. I will see how this one goes - if it survives an Adelaide Winter in my micro climate set up then i will purchase a Daleys grafted Soursop.
Plant is going strong in my enclosed pergola area it's shaded from the hot winds during the hot days and cold winds at night, producing alot of new growth - leaves are an attractive glossy light green color. Plant seems to love the filtered light from the perspec's of the pergola and the shade cloth semi enclose's all my tropical plants - keeping in the heat and moisture ( humidity) i am guessing is around 60% to 70% in summer, after a water in the evening.
Have potted it in a 430mm pot with plenty of organics and mulch - the pot provides excellent drainage after i have turned it into an air prunning pot.
Pest Control: Ants will try to farm all sorts of other bugs onto the Soursop plant so check once in awhile.


Starting on Monday-8- April the Bogota Middle School Baseball Bucs opened the 2019 season. Their first two game were play at home in Olsen Park. They first played Harrison in which they record a win. They next hosted Midland Park and suffered a loss. They next play at Hawthorne Christian Academy on Wednesday-17-April. The first pitch is scheduled for 4:00p.

1. Why Flunking Exams Is Actually a Good Thing
"Testing might be the key to studying, rather than the other way around. As it turns out, a test is not only a measurement tool. It's a way of enriching and altering memory."
2. OkCupid's Unblushing Analyst of Attraction
"The data was sitting right there on our servers. It was an irresistible social opportunity."
3. The Motherhood Penalty vs. the Fatherhood Bonus
"One of the worst career moves a woman can make is to have children. Mothers are less likely to be hired for jobs, to be perceived as competent at work or to be paid as much as their male colleagues with the same qualifications. For men, meanwhile, having a child is good for their careers. They are more likely to be hired than childless men, and tend to be paid more after they have children."
4. Words of a Slain Journalist
"Everyone has two lives. The second one begins when you realize you have only one."
5. Demanding More From College
"We live in a country of sharpening divisions, pronounced tribalism, corrosive polarization. And I wish we would nudge kids — no, I wish we would push them — to use college as an exception and a retort to that, as a pre-emptive strike against it, as a staging ground for behaving and living in a different, broader, healthier way."
6. Why Don't More Men Go Into Teaching?
"Teaching is an overwhelmingly female profession, and in fact has become more so over time. More than three-quarters of all teachers in kindergarten through high school are women."
7. Can't Place That Smell? You Must Be American
"In recent years anthropologists have begun to point out that sensory perception is culturally specific."
8. Giving Up My Small-Town Fantasy
"It was so easy to want to live in Hudson, so hard to actually live in Hudson."
9. Why Don't Americans Take Vacation?
"According to a new report, four in 10 American workers allow some of their paid vacation days to go unused. Why aren't we taking time off? Is it because we're a culture of workaholics or are companies not doing enough to accommodate paid vacation?"
10. When Whites Just Don't Get It, Part 2
"Mass incarceration means that the United States imprisons a higher proportion of its black population than apartheid South Africa did."
11. Liking Work Really Matters
"Interest matters more than we ever knew. It is crucial to keeping us motivated and effective without emptying our mental gas tank, and it can turn the mundane into something exciting."
12. Rape and Rotherham
"The crucial issue in both scandals isn't some problem that's exclusive to traditionalism or progressivism. Rather, it's the protean nature of power and exploitation, and the way that very different forms of willful blindness can combine to frustrate justice."
13. Future Footprints
"Ackerman's optimism can feel eerily unearned in the absence of a measured acknowledgment of the losses, the traumas, the scars that afflict human and nonhuman communities in this volatile new age."
14. The Big Sweep
"Ellroy was compared a lot to Chandler in those days. He compared himself to Tolstoy. But his true forebear was Conrad. They shared similar obsessions with the savagery at the heart of man, a kindred prose style — sentences that were concrete in their center but occasionally lush around the edges — and both swung for the fences when it came to pronouncements on the human condition."
15. SS-Obersturmbannführer (Retired)
"The enduring image of Eichmann as faceless and order-obeying, Stangneth argues, is the result of his uncanny ability to tailor his narrative to the desires and fantasies of his listeners. Arendt was not the only one to be taken in."
16. Art of Murder
"Reacher is always up for a good fight, most entertainingly when he goes mano a mano with a seven-foot, 300-pound monster of a mobster named Little Joey. But it's Reacher the Teacher who wows here, instructing Casey Nice and us in the assets of the AK-47 and the properties of bulletproof glass, while passing on neat tricks like how to stroll through airport security, buy a gun when you're out of town and smash a guy's nose with your elbow."
17. Should Literature Be Considered Useful?
"Literature is the record we have of the conversation between those of us now alive on earth and everyone who's come before and will come after, the cumulative repository of humanity's knowledge, wonder, curiosity, passion, rage, grief and delight. It's as useless as a spun-sugar snowflake and as practical as a Swiss Army knife (or, in Kafka's stunning description of what a book should be, 'an ice-axe to break the sea frozen inside us')."
18. Put the Physical in Education
"Recent research suggests that even small amounts of exercise enable children to improve their focus and academic performance."
19. So Bill Gates Has This Idea for a History Class …
"I remember the chain of thought. I had to do prehistory, so I have to do some archaeology. But to do it seriously, I'm going to talk about how humans evolved, so, yikes, I'm in biology now. I thought: To do it seriously, I have to talk about how mammals evolved, how primates evolved. I have to go back to multicelled organisms, I have to go back to primeval slime. And then I thought: I have to talk about how life was created, how life appeared on earth! I have to talk geology, the history of the planet. And so you can see, this is pushing me back and back and back, until I realized there's a stopping point — which is the Big Bang."

Iran sticking to nuclear deal, says UN, contradicting Trump
Nuclear watchdog's report comes as US president threatens to withdraw from agreement
Fri, Sep 1, 2017, 10:01

The UN's nuclear watchdog has reported that Iran is staying within the main limits set down in a 2015 multilateral agreement that Donald Trump has insisted Tehran is violating.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium is 88.4 kg, less than a third of the maximum allowed under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the official name of the 2015 agreement. Under the agreement, Iran accepted limits on its nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief. The current stockpile is just over 1 per cent of the pre-agreement level.
The stockpile of heavy water is also below the agreed limits, the IAEA said, according to journalists shown the agency's latest quarterly report on Iran's nuclear activities.
The report comes at a critical time, as Mr Trump has threatened to withhold his certification of Iranian compliance when he is next required to report to Congress in mid-October. He has said he expected Iran to be found non-compliant by then and "if it was up to me" would have found them non-compliant months earlier.
Former officials say the Trump White House is putting pressure on intelligence officers and other officials to look for Iranian infractions that could justify the withdrawal of US adherence to the agreement, which is also signed by the UK, France, China, Germany and Russia.
The other signatories have said they will stick to the agreements.
"I cannot speak for the government of the United States of America. The British government, however, is fully committed to the JCPOA and to its successful implementation," the UK ambassador to Tehran, Nicholas Hopton, said in an interview published on Thursday.
More aggressive
The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, travelled to the IAEA headquarters last week to press the agency to be more aggressive in its inspections regime, and to focus on Iran's military sites.
However, Ms Haley is not reported to have presented any new evidence about suspicious activity at any Iranian site, nor named any military base she believes should be investigated.
Tehran has been adamant in its insistence it will not allow military inspections. The government spokesman Mohammad Bagher Nobakht this week dismissed the campaign for military inspections as "a dream".
Ms Haley responded in a statement by saying: if "inspections of Iranian military sites are 'merely a dream', then Iranian compliance . . . is also a dream."
The IAEA director, Yukiya Amano, told the Associated Press that the agency has access to all locations "without making distinctions between military and civilian locations". There is a mechanism in the JCPOA for the IAEA to request access to sensitive sites and even to compel such access with the approval of five of the eight signatories to the agreement, who are represented on a joint commission.
IAEA officials have said they will inspect Iranian military sites if there is credible information that there is suspicious activity under way there, but they are reluctant to conduct a "fishing expedition" without clear intelligence.
"If they want to bring down the deal, they will," an IAEA official told Reuters, referring to the Trump administration. "We just don't want to give them an excuse to."
The issue of inspections is likely to emerge as a key battleground in the struggle over the fate of the nuclear deal. The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security issued a report on Thursday addressing Section T of the JCPOA, which bans any development activity on nuclear weapons technology and restricts dual-use items that could be used to research warhead design.
The report argues that Section T requires routine verification of sites where suspect activities or equipment might be located. It calls for a verification regimen "that includes access to military sites and the sharing of relevant information".
Daryl Kimball, the head of the Arms Control Association, argued that the IAEA was already policing Section T.
"It's up to the IAEA to determine what they need to inspect, and where and when, to acquire the information they need to monitor and verify compliance with Section T, and I believe they have already developed an approach for doing so," Mr Kimball said. "
At the same time, the United States is pressing the IAEA to demand inspections at sensitive military sites in the hope of provoking a refusal that would justify a finding of noncompliance."

Home › News › EDGE OF PARADISE - "Universe"
Up-and-coming metal act EDGE OF PARADISE have announced a
Nov. 8th release for their new album, "Universe" on Frontiers
Music Srl & released a music video for the title track.
Pre-order "Universe" and stream the title track HERE: https://radi.al/Universe
Formed by singer/pianist Margarita Monet and guitarist Dave Bates in 2011, Los Angeles based Edge Of Paradise has made a name for themselves in the metal scene with the release of well-received independent albums and heavy touring both nationally and internationally. Their new album, and first for Frontiers, "Universe" was produced by Mike Plotnikoff (Halestorm, Three Days Grace) and mixed by Jacob Hansen (Amaranthe, Volbeat, Pretty Maids). "Universe" brings together a symphonic and classic metal approach with more contemporary sounds like industrial and electronic influences.
"With this album, we set out to create something that would transport you to another world, music that transcends time and space and takes you on an epic ride through our 'Universe'! The songs are about shattering your fears, testing your limits, and going after your passions at the speed of light, holding on to our humanity and supporting one another as we enter our insane digital future together. Musically, the songs hit you with a cosmic wall of sound, supersonic energy with massive industrial and symphonic textures. We were very lucky to have the best production team for this album as Mike Plotnikoff and Jacob Hansen helped capture our vision perfectly," says vocalist Margarita Monet.
Coinciding with the release of "Universe", Edge Of Paradise is already confirmed to appear as direct support to Sonata Arctica in November - December 2019 on their upcoming European headline run. The band will tour extensively through 2020 in support of the album as well, with more touring announcements imminent.
"We are beyond excited to bring our show to European audiences! The sheer power and energy of these songs are electrifying live and we can't wait to share our 'Universe' with everyone, so come to the show and let's forget the outside world for a moment and get lost in another dimension together," says Monet.
After the band's debut album "Mask", which was released independently in 2012, the band released their sophomore album "Immortal Waltz" in 2015, produced by the legendary Michael Wagener (Dokken, Accept, Skid Row).
On March 10, 2017 Edge Of Paradise released a 5 song EP "Alive". Produced by Chuck Johnson (Korn, Slipknot) and mixed by Jay Ruston, Mike Plotnikoff and Michael Wagener, "Alive" landed on the Billboard Top 100 New Artist Albums and Current Rock Album charts, while also reaching #1 on Amazon's rock charts, and breaking the top 40 of iTunes hard rock/metal albums charts. The EP received rave reviews and California's biggest rock station KLOS supported the song "Shade Of Crazy".
Loudwire premiered the band's music video "Mystery" and it stayed in the Top 5 videos on Loudwire's Battle Royal for 10 weeks in a row. In this time, the band also made their international debut at Femme Festival in Holland and headed to Japan for the first time.

This discovery at the KY State Archives is the Indentures of Apprenticeships-Negro Minors - 1866-1892. The White owner of a business or farm was to teach the formerly enslaved young people a trade until they are 21 years old. At the end of the indenture, they were to give the young person a suit of clothes and $100 unless they were taught to read/write, then they were to get nothing. The wording of this document would indicate this practice was merely an extension of slavery. Many times the Bond Holder was the former enslaver. These records were indexed by AAGGKY member, Mary E.

Faure Gnassingbe re-elected Togo president
Reports coming in from Togo indicate that the incumbent President Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe has won more than 58.75 percent of the votes in the country's presidential election.
The vote is enough for him to secure another five years in office.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI), announced that the ruling Union for the Republic party candidate Faure, won 58.75 percent of the votes, while opposition Combat for Political Alternative in 2015 (CAP2015) alliance candidate Jean-Pierre Fabre, won 34.95 percent.
"The national electoral commission states that Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe has been elected based on provisional results which are subject to confirmation by the Constitutional Court," Taffa Tabiou, head of CENI said.
The INEC will soon transmit the provisional results to the Constitutional Court, which is responsible for examining appeals and electoral disputes before proclaiming the final results.
Gnassingbe came to power in April 2005, following special election after the death of his father General Gnassingbe Eyadema, who ran Togo from 1967 till his decease. He was reelected in 2010 with 60.89 percent of the votes.

Caffè Nero's business development director Paul Ettinger, Compass Group's marketing director Louise Pilkington and Starbucks's senior innovation manager for EMEA Rachel Chatterton (pictured), are the latest additions to lunch!'s keynote line-up, it has been revealed.
Taking place at London ExCeL next month, on 21-22 September, the UK's biggest food-to-go trade show will feature over 20 free business seminars in two dedicated keynote theatres.
Previously confirmed sessions include exclusive interviews with Roger Whiteside, CEO of Greggs, Andrew Walker, chief executive of EAT, and celebrity chef Theo Randall.
Compass' Louise Pilkington will be making her lunch! speaking debut with a session focusing on how to use consumer insights to drive innovation and maintain competitive advantage.
Prior to joining Compass in 2015, she held a long term consulting role as global innovation projects director at Costa, where she was responsible for food, beverage and store format innovation; and senior brand development and marketing roles at Moet Hennessy, Diageo and P&G.
According to the latest Project Café2017 UK report from Allegra World Coffee Portal, British consumers now drink an estimated 2.3 billion cups of coffee per year in stores. The coffee shop market – already one of the most competitive in the UK, with an estimated 22,845 outlets, is set for further growth and could exceed 32,000 outlets by 2025.
Senior representatives from two of the UK's biggest coffee shop chains – Starbucks and Caffè Nero – will be hosting Keynotes at lunch! discussing the challenges of this dynamic market and their strategies for success.
Rachel Chatterton, Starbucks's senior innovation manager for EMEA, will be talking about the importance of leading in food and drink innovation to 'continue to surprise' customers and respond to changing consumer trends, while Paul Ettinger, Caffè Nero's business development director, and one of the company's co-founders, will be sharing his thoughts on the coffee sector, and where it could be 10 years from now.
The Keynote line-up will also include senior representatives from Pret A Manger, Tim Hortons, and Harris & Hoole. Plus, as in previous years, there will be food-to-go market updates from MCA, The NPD Group, CGA Peach, Lucid Perspectives and IGD.

Malta's captain, Michael Mifsud, is hopeful that Malta will put up a collective effort in tomorrow's EURO 2012 qualifier against Greece (kick off 8.30pm at the National Stadium Ta' Qali). Mifsud was speaking during a meeting with the local press at the Excelsior Hotel, the base of the Malta National team in home games.
The Qormi player remarked "We are well prepared and ready for the Greeks, we all reckon the fact that they are hot favorites to win this game but we will give them a hard time".
John Buttigieg, the Malta coach, said that his 19 players are all in good condition. He said that Greece have great experience and are very physically strong. "I expect yet another difficult game tomorrow but I am confident that with our tactical plan we can produce yet another positive performance".
When asked by Media.link sports editor Chris Muscat if he will opt for a similar game plan approach like the Switzerland game, the Malta coach replied that tactically he will not change a lot and he intends to field similar tactics. Buttigieg added that he might change a couple of players from the starting line up of the last game, but still intends to be in line with what was produced collectively against the Swiss where we managed a prestigious 0-0 draw.
Henry Brincat from The Malta Independent asked Buttigieg if the latest controversy regarding the training session remuneration issue affected the preparation of the team. Buttigieg replied "I am very happy that the players have put this issue behind them and have trained hard despite the current issue, I think that the players showed great professionalism in this regard, added the ex-Sta. Lucia FC and Birkirkara FC coach. This was also confirmed by Malta's captain Mifsud who added that this was done in good faith ahead of this important game against Greece.
When replying to The Times' sports editor Kevin Azzopardi about the physical condition of Roderick Briffa, Buttigieg said that he chose a 19 man squad and he decided to include the Valletta utility player in the squad. For Buttigieg, the player is 100% fit and can be utilized in the game, although it is yet to be decided if the right back position will be awarded to him or Edward Herrera of Hibs.
Buttigieg admitted that the opponents might be a bit slow in their defensive department due to the fact that they usually field tall players and this could be advantageous for our strikers.
Present also for this Press Conference, which was led by Mark Muscat Head of the National Team's communications officer, were Robert Gatt and Bjorn Vassallo the Technical Director and CEO of the MFA respectively.
A direct request by this site addressed to Vassallo was for his official comments on Darmanin Demajo's failure to impress in this week's UEFA EXCO election. This request was elegantly dribbled by the CEO who asked for this question to be asked after the Press Conference on an individual basis. Eventually Vassallo kept his promise and gave his reactions in a recorded voice interview which will be on line this evening on this site. Bjorn Vassallo did not exclude that the former MFA President Dr. Joe Mifsud lobbied against the prospective candidature of Norman Darmanin Demajo. In this interview Vasallo also explains the reason why Darmanin Demajo registered only one vote.
Log on this site at 16:00hrs to listen to this interesting interview and leave your comments.
Mr. Buttigieg, nisperaw li din l-istorja ta' Roderick Briffa mhux ha tkun l-istess bhal ta' Jamie Pace fejn minkejja li ma kienx qieghed jilghab mall-klubb tieghu minhabba injury, Jamie Pace xorta gie mghajjat man-Nazzjonal kontra Svizzera biex imbaghad fil-loghba ta' wara hareg wara kwarta injured.

Johnson: Perilous to ignore threat of global warming
Laura A. Johnson/Guest columnist
The climate of Massachusetts has warmed more than 1 degree in the past 100 years and is projected by scientists to increase 6 to 10 degrees over the next century. It has been 3,000,000 years since the earth was this warm.
There is now little doubt that a primary cause of this rapid temperature increase is the unprecedented release into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases produced by burning fossil fuels. Rapid climate warming is a global phenomenon as is evident from the accelerated melting of the Greenland and west Antarctic ice sheets and the associated sea level rise.
The solution to rapid climate warming requires rapidly and dramatically reducing our production of carbon dioxide, the principle greenhouse gas, by 50 percent or more over current levels. Promoting increases in energy conservation and efficiency will have the most immediate and cost-effective impact on carbon dioxide production. We also need to dramatically increase production of energy from renewable sources through appropriate public and private investments and a comprehensive renewable energy plan that starts at the state level.
Many actions needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will be controversial and will require compromises from all sides, but the threat of climate change to the Massachusetts landscape and our economy cannot be minimized.
To start, the Commonwealth should join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a bipartisan effort in the northeast to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel power plants by 10 percent by 2018. Far greater reductions are necessary, and we urge leadership in programs that increase energy efficiency, support development with energy efficient transportation systems, expand renewable energy production, curb deforestation, and encourage the planting of trees and plants and associate soils that most effectively sequester carbon.
If we fail to act now, the Massachusetts landscape will change with rising temperatures. Such impacts are already visible. The sea level has risen 0.5 feet in the past 100 years, eroding our beaches and shore front. Wildlife is also reacting; southern bird species, such as Carolina wren and red-bellied woodpecker, once uncommon sightings, are now seen throughout Massachusetts.
Nationwide, scientific studies of more than 1,000 species document a northward migration of approximately four miles per decade.
The rate of migration is not fast enough, however, to keep pace with increasing average temperatures, estimated to be moving northward at a rate of about 35 miles per decade. Massachusetts will lose many species as a result. A recent study concluded that we would lose more than 30 bird species currently nesting here if warming trends continue.
We expect many other changes in our cherished New England landscape as our climate warms. Populations of paper birch and other trees emblematic of our New England forests will dwindle and disappear to the north. Maple sugaring a familiar ritual of early spring will vanish. The warming climate will enable a host of pest organisms formerly held in check by cold winters to survive and thrive.
Rising sea levels will be the most noticeable impact further increasing erosion along our heavily populated coast, inundating barrier beaches, and diminishing rich, productive, salt marshes. Before European settlement, coastal habitats shifted in response to dynamic natural changes including those wrought by sea level fluctuations. Now boxed in by our coastal cities and towns, the marshes, important as nursery areas for many coastal fish species, and beaches, our most popular playground, will have nowhere to go.
As the sea level rises, coastal residents will be forced to abandon their homes or spend substantial sums in futile attempts to armor the coastline. Many scientists predict that rising global temperatures will increase the intensity of storms, and, coupled with rising sea levels, will add to the threat to our coastal environment. Private insurance companies get this message, and it is now reflected in dramatic increases in property insurance premiums for coastal landowners such insurance is already difficult to obtain on Cape Cod and in coastal Florida.
Preventing gloomy scenarios requires immediate action as a recent study of the Union of Concerned Scientists indicates the extent of warming and the quality of our grandchildren's future will depend on what we do now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Massachusetts can and should be a leader in combating global climate change, perhaps the most serious environmental problem humans have ever faced. The effects of rapid climate warming are real and not just someone else's problem, and Massachusetts must be part of the solution.

For Autumn | Winter 2016 we researched into the origins of outerwear in our homeland, the Bavarian Alps. What we found in early mountaineering documentations are natural performance fabrics like Loden-Wool and densely weaved cotton. The early pioneers of the Alps wore several layers of garments to fight the cold, wind, snow and rain. Drawn from this inspiration we created a set of contemporary coats and jackets for our everyday needs in the city life.
Now with w'lfg'ng, we are always on the hunt for premium fabrics from weavers with a long standing tradition and look out for the experts in their fields. That's why we employ fabrics like Swiss EtaProof® cotton and collaborated with Loden-Steiner known for their traditional Austrian wool. We added an additional water repellent finish to the wool to make it even more convenient any big city adventure.
As always every jacket can be worn by itself, while all of them are freely compatible with each other. The light down liner jackets attach to a hidden zip system on the inside of the rainproof jackets, so that neither shell nor liner has any visible connective hardware when worn on their own.

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin may claim he wants everyone who left the city to return. But barriers have been thrown up for working class and poor people who want to return.
Their jobs either disappeared or were handed over to companies like Haliburton, which have hired hundreds of immigrant workers, paying them low wages, giving them no protection against serious on-the-job hazards and no benefits. Then these workers are thrown out of the country when the companies are done with them.
There is no housing for workers either. Almost two-thirds of the city's 145,000 homes were designated for destruction by city officials, with no provision for other housing. Rents for remaining houses have soared to levels unaffordable for ordinary people. Yet no rent controls have been set up.
As for the famous FEMA trailers – where are they? If the promised trailer camps existed in the city, workers could come back.
Insurance companies make it nearly impossible for all but the richest homeowners to rebuild. Workers who had insurance won't come anywhere near to covering the cost of rebuilding. And FEMA's maximum grant to owners of damaged homes is only $26,200 minus any insurance payments.
Furthermore, most applications to FEMA for aid in rebuilding have been turned down. By a slight of hand, the applications were sent to the Small Business Administration. Out of nearly two million applications for government loans to rebuild houses in the entire Gulf Coast region, only about 17,000 have been approved, while 77,000 were rejected. The rest of the applications still haven't been processed. The vast majority of the few approved loans went to wealthy people.
Permits to rebuild in areas where most working class people lived are being held up by inaction of local officials. Electric service hasn't been restored to many poor neighborhoods. Half of existing homes have no natural gas service.
Only 10% of pre-Katrina bus service is running. Even if workers' children could get to school, there are no affordable schools for them to attend: Only one public elementary school is now open; a public high school is supposed to open January 9. These are the only public schools scheduled to operate this school year ... out of 116 before Katrina!
While government officials are welcoming the rich back to New Orleans, the people who once created the vibrant culture of New Orleans have been thrown to the winds, scattered in cities all over the country.

SC Man Shoots, Kills Robbery Suspect: "Richland County deputies are investigating a fatal shooting at an apartment complex. The incident took place at 12:01 a.m. Friday at the Colonial Villa Apartments on Garners Ferry Road. According to deputies, a man was sitting in his car doing paperwork at the time of the confrontation. Deputies say he provides security detail for the apartments. Deputies say a male suspect approached the car demanding the victim's handgun; however, deputies say the victim pulled out that weapon and shot the suspect. The suspect was taken to the hospital where he later died.
Colorado: Bear shot to death after breaking into home: "A man shot a bear to death after it broke into his home in Colorado Springs. The bear broke in through the back door of a home on Columbia court around 8 p.m. Friday night. Colorado Springs police say the homeowner loaded his gun, after a roommate yelled that the bear had broken in. The bear roared at the homeowner several times, and went to a part of the house where it couldn't get out. The man shot the bear 4 times, and it died. Division of Wildlife investigated, and say the homeowner was justified in the shooting."
Wisconsin Gun bill sparks controversy: "Senator Russ Decker of Weston has introduced a bill that would change the way hunters can haul their weapons. He wants them to be able to carry uncased guns, bows and crossbows in their vehicles. But not everyone supports the bill. Portage County sheriff John Charewicz, who is also a hunting safety instructor says, "The part that's concerning to me is that people like the little gang bangers, the gangsters that want to have guns in their cars are now going to be within the law to a certain extent." But Senator Decker says his bill is geared towards hunters, "The gang bangers are law breakers, I'm more concerned about the law abiding citizens." But Charewicz thinks the bill is bad news, "It's just another example of a poorly written piece of legislation and I don't know what they're trying to accomplish, I mean I have no idea." Decker says not having to deal with a gun case is a matter of convenience, "It's just unnecessary for us to do it as long as it's unloaded. A lot of times you're hunting and go to your vehicle or someone else's vehicle and there's not a case in the vehicle that may have been left with somebody else."
NY: Controversy surrounds plan to register ammo: "Demonstrators called the event a civil rights rally Tuesday night. "We don't want our privacy violated to be in this database. We don't want local government or law enforcement knowing what we're buying, how much we're buying," said rally organizer Brian Belz. They are against a proposed law in Albany County that would require people to show their gun license when buying ammunition for handguns, and a driver's license or other ID for ammunition for rifles. The rally took place just before a public hearing in front of the Legislature. "You have to stop looking at the average gun owner as a criminal. That's what laws like this do. It makes common, everyday citizens criminals, pre-crime," said one resident speaking at the hearing. But a sponsor of the proposal, legislator Phil Steck, said this is to make sure that only licensed gun owners can buy ammunition, which is already in state law. "I think what's going on here in large part is that a lot of people don't realize that this is the law that's on the books, it isn't being enforced, and a lot of folks are ideologically opposed to gun control of any kind," Steck said".

Snap lockdown a result of Labor Government's failures
Snap lockdown a result of…
Latest NewsPress Releases
The State Opposition has said the Labor Government's failure to address systemic gaps in WA's hotel quarantine system has directly contributed to the snap-lockdown and the spread of COVID-19.
Opposition Leader Mia Davies said the Mercure Hotel had been identified as needing improvements in early April.
"The Government knew in early April that the Mercure Hotel needed work to continue to be used for quarantine. They ignored this report, continued to use an unsafe facility, and that decision has led to community transmission and a snap-lockdown for millions of West Australians," Ms Davies said.
"The Premier was elected on a promise to 'Keep WA Safe' yet his Government has let the people of Western Australia down and now we are all paying the price for the Labor Government's complacency."
Ms Davies said urgent action from the Government was needed to deliver a quarantine system that was fit-for-purpose.
"The Premier is trying to deflect blame to the Federal Government while ignoring the fact his Government has dragged its heels on responding to the report recommendations, failing to make sure front line hotel quarantine workers have been vaccinated and slow to introduce regular testing," she said.
Shadow Health Minister Libby Mettam expressed her disappointment at the State Government's snap-lockdown which was completely avoidable, and a result of a failed quarantine program.
"The McGowan Labor Government has continued to ignore the holes in the hotel quarantine system and the
warnings of WA's Chief Health Officer," Ms Mettam said.
"The Government must act urgently to ensure that returning West Australians have a COVID safe
quarantine facility and that the community is safe.
"This was completely avoidable; the incompetence of the McGowan Labor Government has put lives at risk
and has put West Australians' long weekend into turmoil because of the Government's mistakes," Ms Mettam said.
The Opposition also expressed concern for small business and tourism operators around the State who would be impacted by the new restrictions on what was to be a busy long weekend.
"We will be seeking to ensure support is provided for impacted businesses," Ms Davies said.

One of things Microsoft has added to Office 2010 products is Shapes, which gives users the ability to add custom shapes to their presentation and documents. Shapes can be used to add decorative elements to slides - putting a box around a portion of the text to highlight it, for instance.
Shapes is available on the Insert tab in PowerPoint 2010 and Word 2010 grouped under Illustrations along with SmartArt and Charts. If you open the Shapes menu, you can see a vast number of pre-built shapes – rectangles, circles, triangles, arrows, and fancy shapes like half moon, star, heart, and lightening strikes. There is also a curve tool that lets you create smooth curves of any shape.
Although not immediately apparent, the Shapes tool is infinitely flexible. You can use a pre-built shape as the starting ground and build complex shapes upon it. This what I'm going to show you in this tutorial - how to use Shapes to create beautiful geometric shapes for your slides.
Open a new PowerPoint presentation and turn on Gridlines from the View tab in the ribbon. Gridlines will give us precise control over the shape.
From the Shape menu, select the rectangle shape. Click the mouse button, hold and drag to create a rectangular shape 1 box in height and 6 box in length as shown below.
Right click on the shape and select 'Edit points'. Now comes the interesting part. By changing the position of the points you can bend and twist this rectangle and make it assume any shape you want.
Click on the lower edge of the rectangle, two boxes from the left and drag your mouse vertically up so that the end of blue axis touch the opposite edge of the rectangle. Release the mouse button.
If you did this right, you should get a smooth curve.
Click on the right corner of the rectangle to display two short axis. Grab the end of the horizontal axis, which should be two boxes from the right and drag your mouse vertically down 1 box in height. Release the mouse button.
Copy the shape, invert it, drag it to the bottom of the slide, and recolor it. Resize if necessary. You get a simple but eye catching design.
Another trick is to add new points along the edge of the shape and maneuver the points to attain new shapes. Anybody who has used the Pen tool in Photoshop will immediately find themselves at home, because this is exactly like the Pen tool. Unfortunately, the Pen tool is one of the most difficult tool to use in Photoshop and so is Shapes. The shapes seem to have a mind of it's own. It will take some time before you can master them.
Once you are able to move them in the direction you desire, you can completely do away with photo editing software and create new designs for your slides right in PowerPoint. Of course, these tools are also available in Word 2010.


The function of a meniscus is to act as a shock absorber within the knee. We have two menisci. We have a medial meniscus on the inner side of our knee, and a lateral meniscus on the outer side of our knee.
Our knees witness an enormous amount of stress during daily activities. Each step you take can place a force of 4 times your body weight across the knee. If you are exercising or running, that stress can increase beyond that. With a normally functioning meniscus the force of each step is spread evenly across the end of the thigh bone, or femur to your shin bone, or tibia.
As you step down, a normally functioning meniscus absorbs the stress and distends or pushes outwards. That dissipates a lot of the force put across the knee. If there are any defects or tears in the meniscus then the function of the mensicus can be severely compromised. If the meniscus is not functioning well, then the force across your knee is more concentrated in a smaller area. That can lead to loss of the articular cartilage and herald the start of an arthritic process. The most common site of a mensicus tear is the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.
Even small tears of the meniscus can lead to an increase in the risk of arthritis. There are many different types of meniscus tears. Some are small and stable and some are large, unstable and produce a lot of pain. A loss of a significant amount of the meniscus, either from a tear, or following surgery can result the development of osteoarthritis due to the increase in stress now present within the knee.
In the picture above you see a normal meniscus sitting between the end of the femur on top and the tibia on the bottom.
Because of the important function of the meniscus and the anticipated degeneration or arthritis which might occur after a tear we now try to repair or stitch as many tears as possible. Many tears that we once thought would not respond to a repair have been found to heal after a repair.However, the are many times that we need to remove a torn piece because it was too degenerative or beaten up to repair. Some meniscus tears, although rare can heal on their own.
Remember … not all mensicus tears need surgery. But if you are unfortunate enough to have a tear that requires surgery because your quality of life is poor, then at least you know that we now have the tools, and knowledge to repair many tears once considered irreparable.
← Why Does My Knee Swell ?
first I would like to thank you for your generous effort and kind help you provide, I've read a lot of your articles.
– evidence of Intra substance meniscal degeneration at posterior horn of medial meniscus.
treatment didn't work, then will go for arthroscopy surgeory.
comfortable in my knee when walking and few pain when walking for half kilometer or so, and still experience knee giving away few times a day.
article, at the same time I'm not sure if i will be oky not having the surgeory.
sorry for my weak english, i apreciate you taking time reading my message and thanks alot for your kind help.
The MRI did not show anything wrong…. there is a small amount of fluid. And most people have some degeneration in their meniscus cartilage. Your MRI did not show the source of your swelling and pain.
I am a competitive distance runner (56 years old) at a national level in my age group. Last September I started having pain and soreness on the inside of my knee (no obvious incident that precipitated this). I stopped running for a few weeks and started physical therapy to improve quad/hamstring strength etc. The pain persisted and I had an MRI which showed a "focal horizontal longitudinal" tear of the medial meniscus. I was originally going to get a partial meniscectomy on Dec. 11, however after reading a multitude of articles and the Finnish study from 2013 I felt I should put it off. Since December along with aggressive physical therapy I have built back up to running over 50 + miles per week with some hard running and racing, but the pain has persisted. It's not debilitating, but there is a lot of soreness along the joint line which never seems to go away. It gets worse after harder or longer runs and somewhat better with rest.
I am at the point of pulling the trigger on the surgery after having gone back to see the orthopedic surgeon last week. He claims that the tear will get worse over time. However, is this necessarily true for a degenerative horizontal tear? My current situation is a chronic but so far stable discomfort. My surgeon is confident that the surgery will have a positive outcome. Running is a big part of my life. On the one hand if the surgery has a high probability of allowing pain free running it might be worth it, on the other hand if not I would rather run with the discomfort I have assuming I'm not doing further damage.
Also I have very mild degeneration in the joint (still good joint spacing), and am slightly bowlegged putting some additional pressure on the inside of the knee compared to a normal knee.
Will this type of tear necessarily get worse over time (and am I doing damage to my meniscus by continuing to run on it)?
If I am not doing damage, is it possible with more time, and strengthening that I can resolve the symptoms or after 9 months of this is that unrealistic?
Considering this type of tear what is the statistical likelihood of a positive outcome after partial meniscectomy as far as being able to run competitively?
Thanks very much for any insights you could offer.
Removing a portion of the meniscus puts you at risk of developing worsening OA. Repairs are now possible with horizontal tears … but many surgeons do not perform repairs (suture the tear). Your bowed-leg or varus deformity puts you at risk for medial compartment OA and further degenerative tearing of the medial meniscus. Some tri-athletes and very active runners have chosen high tibial osteotomies to stay active to reduce load on the medial side and preserve the knee from excess medial stress.
As you can see, the decision making is not easy. But having the meniscus removed and having the knee remain bowed, or in varus, sets you up for further problems down the road.
Consider a few different opinions and try to see an academic surgeon who can help you think through all the ongoing issues.


We first created a website for IT and Telecoms Recruitment Consultants IDPP around 10 years ago, so we were obviously pleased to be asked to pitch to develop their brand and then design and build them a new modern, CMS site in 2015.
On confirmation of their detailed, concise brief we set to work on producing concepts for their new logo for consideration, before honing down their preferred option into final artwork. The chosen design portrays their key brand values and identity, their international approach and is designed to work with their strap line.
The next stage of the project was to specify the requirements for a fully Content Managed website. The new online presence needed to allow the team at IDPP to manage all content easily, as well as allow contractors to upload their CV's and apply directly for vacancies. Current Vacancies would feed directly into the site admin from IDPP's own database for display within the site Vacancy search function.
On approval of our design of a modern, clean site, that clearly indicated the full range of client services that IDPP offer and that utilised the newly developed brand and imagery, we built a new site ready for the client to populate using custom developed CMS features.
The finished site is an excellent example of the level of functionality and design we can produce for our clients.

Newlyweds David Walliams and Lara Stone still smitten at star-packed charity gala
June 07, 2010 - 17:30 BST hellomagazine.com The Little Britain comedian and his Dutch model wife joined Hugh Grant, Joely Richardson and other A-listers at an event commemorating Mikhail Gorbachev's wife, Raisa
Looking dapper in white tie and tails, David Walliams couldn't keep his eyes off new wife Lara Stone at the charity event

Fresh from their Paris honeymoon, David Walliams and Lara Stone only had eyes for each other as they partied with superstar guests to help raise £1.7 million for cancer care at the weekend.
Surrounded by big names from the worlds of film, music, fashion and art, the newlyweds seemed joined at the hip at the fifth annual Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Midsummer gala at Hampton Court in south-west London.
And the Little Britain star made his own cheeky contribution to the event, auctioning off the chance for one bidder to enjoy a jelly-wrestling match with his Dutch model wife, with him acting as referee.
The event is held in memory of Raisa Gorbachev, wife of former Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev, who died of leukemia in 1999.
Seventy-nine-year-old Mikhail was guest of honour at the gala, alongside daughter Irina Virganskaya, her husband and their two children, Anastasia and Ksenia Virganskaya.
It was a family affair for the Redgrave clan as well. After losing siblings Lynn and Corin earlier this year, actress Vanessa Redgrave was showing her support for the cause alongside daughter Joely Richardson and 18-year-old grandchild Daisy Bevan.
Among other film A-listers at the party in Stud House, in the grounds of the famous palace, were Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Anjelica Huston, Dougray Scott and Neve Campbell.
Names from the world of music included Simon Le Bon, who was accompanied by his wife Yasmin, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and singer Bryan Ferry, who performed at the event.
After dinner came the auction, where other lots included lunch with Kevin Spacey, artworks by Francis Bacon and Jeff Koons, and a meal cooked by Sophie Dahl with musical accompaniment from her husband Jamie Cullum.
The money raised was split between the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation and the UK's Marie Curie Cancer Care charity.
Foundation chairman Evgeny Lebedev said: "Mikhail Gorbachev and I were so moved by the generosity of our guests who helped us to raise this astounding figure of £1.7m.
"This will go a long way to help lessen the suffering of so many children and their families – as was Raisa Gorbachev's aim."

Does Your Children's Magic Show Include Live Animals?
properly but it's just a lot of demand on the little creatures.
Once it hits 95 they don't even use the animals anymore anyway because it's too much of a risk for them, so I do not use live animals. However I do use a puppet named rocky the raccoon. He is a spring animal that looks very real and at the end of the show after sees him, I can almost guarantee that about 80% of the kids will think that I used a live animal in the show anyway even though it was just a puppet because we have so much fun with the little guy.
