Fida Shurrab – The Lost Nation

A wonderland was a very spellbinding village. The village was considered the relief and the cure of all life's illness; it was the certain destination for all sick people. Its air and atmosphere were like a spiritual medicine to clear one's mind and soul. Trees were like trees of heaven, and roses' smell was filling the place with beauty. The secret behind this charming beauty was the dwellers of this village. They were a symbol of one united family. Their aim in life was to save their village from any storm whether it was a natural storm or a storm brought by tourists. They stood together through sorrow and joy.
The villagers used to sacrifice their souls to keep their holy land safe and free. They fought bravely against any attempt to invade their land and steal their priceless heritage. They worked hard to build a very remarkable civilization within a very small area. Great mosques were well built, great schools were constructed and even small libraries but rich with valuable books were established. Besides their many cultural contributions to the field of art, literature, music and cuisine, they were famous for many industries and trade. People around the world sought this village to learn about their magnificent culture. A very fascinating nation, that what was always said about this village.
Though their culture was great, they did not have a great army or powerful weapons. They defended their country by a very simple and traditional means. Many nations had avarices to take over the village's wealth. They tried to control it by force but they could not. One day they had come to a very malicious idea to put their hands on the village and its people. They had decided to invade the villagers' minds first, and then the village would be under their control.
One early morning, a tourist came to visit the village but he was not an ordinary tourist. He came with a destructive storm kept in his bags and a demon accompanying his shadow. He stayed at the village's hotel. The hotel used to host many sessions to educate the villagers. This was a good chance for the demon to brainwash the villagers' minds. The new demon went up to his room and unpacked his bags. He waited in his room until it was dinnertime. The villagers used to gather everyday in the hotel. He went to hotel's small restaurant and sat there; he contemplated the villagers' faces very carefully. It was a normal thing for a stranger to make friendship with the dwellers of the village. After a while, he tried to mingle by admiring their beautiful village. At the same time, the villagers liked to hear about other cultures, so they began to ask him about his country, his life and his culture. The stranger was so kind that he succeeded in winning the people's hearts. This was a successful move. He paid so much attention to them in order to understand their mentality. People in the village longed for the new technologies of other cultures, and hearing him talking about how great they were, they became more interested in it. He became the advisor for all the people in the village; he gave advice of how to develop their schools, industry, and agriculture system. He was so helpful, and the villagers considered him as a member of the family.
The demon was very satisfied that his plan was going in the right direction. Now that he gained the people's trust, he began to sprinkle evil thoughts in the villagers' minds. He took advantage of the idea that people would like to have those new technologies in the village. He convinced them that this could not happen without having foreign companies established in the village. Once again, the villagers believed him. They agreed to host those companies in their land. It was the first step of controlling the village. Companies were established by buying great land survey. They lost a part of their land, but they still have their unity, they thought. The demon played another trick to scatter the family. He told them that they would be more organized if they had a more organized leadership system. The villagers kept thinking about the new leader and whom to choose. Everyone thought that he would be the best one to rule the village. When they gathered again to discuss this issue, they had a very serious debate for the first time. The stranger interfered and suggested a very deadly solution. He said that he could lead this village. Silence broke the room. Everyone thought that this was a good idea since no one was willing to let the other rule the village. Hatred began to be planted in the people's heart. The demon was appointed as the leader of the village. The villagers lost their land, their unity and their control over the village.
No sooner, the villagers were only slaves in their own land serving the outsiders. Their culture was defaced, and their identity was stolen. The nature lost its beauty, because no one cared about it anymore. It was too late when they woke up from their coma. They regretted their sin but they were powerless to gain their land again. No one could remember the village's name, because a new name was given to it. However, the new generation of this village is trying hard to gain back their land and to expiate their ancestry's sin. To have a free country all of us must have a free mind and soul. May God bring back what once was lost and stolen.

GM eyes the mpg crown for revamped Suburban, Tahoe
The redesigned 2021 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, which will go on sale in summer, are longer and heavier, but Chevrolet hopes for an official 25-30 mpg highway rating for the diesel engine option.
(Chevrolet)
For the first time since the 1990s, the big SUVs will be available with a thrifty diesel engine — a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder
By Richard Truett
Jan. 5, 2020 5 AM PT
One goal of the redesigned Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe coming this summer is to lock down General Motors' fuel-economy leadership in the full-size SUV segment. For the first time since the 1990s, the Suburban and Tahoe will be available with a thrifty diesel engine — a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder.
That engine launched this year as an option in the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, along with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It makes the big Chevy pickup the most fuel-efficient in its class, with an EPA rating of 23 mpg city, 33 highway and 27 mpg combined.
The same powertrain is now headed to the new Suburban and Tahoe and will be the only diesel offered in the segment. Chevrolet executives say the turbodiesel will give the SUVs some of the highest fuel-economy ratings in the segment. To get there, the GM vehicles will have to beat the ratings of the current leader, the Ford Expedition: 17 mpg city, 24 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined.
The 277-hp, 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder diesel engine has 460 foot-pounds of torque.
Most other competitors in the segment, such as the Toyota Sequoia, have fuel-economy ratings in the mid to high teens. On the current Suburban, the most fuel-efficient version is EPA-rated at 14 mpg city, 23 highway and 17 mpg combined. To hit GM's target, the redesigned vehicles likely will reach 25-30 mpg highway.
The new Suburban and Tahoe arrive at dealers next summer. They've grown in size and weight over the outgoing models, making it tougher to hit the coveted 30 mpg on the highway.
The current Suburban checks in at between 5,600 and 5,800 pounds — considerably heavier than the Silverado, which weighs 4,500 to 5,400 pounds.
Chevrolet says the Suburban has 19 percent more cargo space behind the first row, which it says is best-in-class.
GM released some specs on the coming Suburban and Tahoe, but not curb weight or fuel tank size. The current Suburban has a 31-gallon fuel tank. If the 2021 model has that same size tank and gets 25 mpg highway, it will be a real long-distance cruiser, able to go nearly 800 miles between fill-ups. The 3.0-liter engine is rated at 277 hp and 460 foot-pounds of torque.
Alternate engine choices for both SUVs are a 355-horsepower, 5.3-liter V-8 or 420-hp, 6.2-liter V-8. Both feature Dynamic Fuel Management technology, with more than 12 modes of cylinder deactivation to optimize engine efficiency and fuel economy. The engines also feature automatic stop-start at idle, direct injection and variable valve timing.
Both SUVs have longer wheelbases, new independent rear suspensions and significantly lower cargo floors. The added length provides a more natural seating position, Chevrolet says, with 10.1 inches more third-row legroom in the Tahoe and 2.2 inches more legroom in the Suburban, now at 36.7 inches.
For the first time, the second-row seat can slide about 5.5 inches forward or rearward and the second- and third-row seats fold more easily.

CLA News / Stay ahead of 2021 trends with Unmatched Legal Intelligence
According to a host of industry pundits and legal technology experts globally, the year 2021 looks set to push the trends accelerated in 2020 even further, with Artificial Intelligence (AI), analytics and intelligent legal research among the big issues to watch.
In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic, associated lockdowns worldwide and the sudden transition to remote working, totally reshaped the legal landscape and propelled law into the digital age. Legal professionals – if they hadn't done so already – had to quickly pivot towards digital technologies for online research, collaboration, document sharing and automation, video conferencing, virtual law services and more.
"While many within the sector noted a slowdown in legal work in 2020, those that were successfully able to embrace technology and digital platforms have found themselves poised for greater success ahead of the economic recovery expected to begin in 2021," says CEO and Chairperson of the board of LexisNexis South Africa, Videsha Proothveerajh.
"Last year also placed greater importance on transforming all the mundane processes that can typically get in the way of productive work and emphasised the need for a more human way of delivering legal services – from both the profession's and client's perspectives," says Proothveerajh.
"In 2021 we expect to see continued focus on maximising time, together with sustained high demand for legal technology and innovation to help legal practitioners manage increasing volumes of rapidly changing information brought on by Covid-19 and its various regulations," she adds.
As a one-stop legal solutions provider, LexisNexis, provides legal professionals with on-demand resources at their fingertips, increasing their agility while reducing operational costs. The company harnesses the latest, world-class technology and expert commentary to deliver trusted data driven insights.
Proothveerajh outlines five ways this legal tech giant helps to ensure legal pros stay at the top of their game despite the uncertainties brought on by 2020.
1. Cutting edge technology merged with law
"We want our lawyers doing what they always dreamed of doing. We want them freed up to serve at their best and not to be bogged down. That's why we deploy cutting edge technology for them to work smarter, which is seen as a key catalyst for growth by the overwhelming majority of legal professionals, especially post-Covid-19," says Proothveerajh.
LexisNexis has tapped into the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) to merge technology and automation with the law. Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to better tackle repetitive tasks, algorithms and emerging technology features help to free up legal professionals so that they can spend time on the tasks where they can add the most value.
"Human legal professionals are at their most valuable when they bring their empathy, understanding, tolerance, creativity, fairness, sound judgment and flair to their legal work. These aren't things that AI and technology can ever replace, certainly not in the foreseeable future, so we want to ensure that the human element is always enhanced and complemented by superb technology," says Proothveerajh.
2. A comprehensive legal research tool
"Even many years ago, when we were just a publisher, we pioneered the electronic accessibility of legal and journalistic documents all the way back to the 1970s. And from as early as 2006, we've had the world's largest electronic database for legal and public-records related information," says Proothveerajh.
Later, understanding the need for legal professionals to delve deeper into the legal texts yet work harder and faster to keep pace with industry demands and clients' budgetary restrictions, LexisNexis introduced Lexis® Library. It has become the most comprehensive online legal content platform in South Africa. Lexis® Library improves the ease of access to legal resources such as legal texts and precedents for legal professionals, no matter where they are in their career journey.
3. Data-fuelled search power
Designed with precision and intentionality as key parameters, the enhanced user interface of Lexis® Library provides a broader depth and breadth of content, offering users enhanced ease of navigation to find unprecedented insight and invaluable expert commentary.
Delivered via one simplified search experience, Lexis Library includes ground-breaking features, such as Legal Citator, Point in Time, Advanced Search, Citator Search and Predictive Type Ahead Search, to save legal research time and get only the most relevant and accurate search results, fast.
It also provides users with the most current legal content, practical guidance, templates, alerts and workflow solutions, supported by commentary, to help guide them in their application and advancement.
Keen to experience Lexis® Library for yourself? Visit https://www.lexisnexis.co.za/lexislibrary
4. Time saving tools
Not being able to access the right information at the right time wastes time and impedes productivity. When research takes up too much time, attorneys cannot always bill for it. Digital and online solutions can help filter information intelligently, saving legal professionals time, which is increasingly important in a tough environment where companies need to cut down on costs, yet still be more productive in their research efforts.
A trusted online legal source such as Lexis Library enables practitioners to expedite their legal research with the assurance of reliability.
Free, customised training options are also available to ensure users get the most out of their solutions and subscriptions.
5. Trusted and reliable content
Failure to conduct proper research for a case can have devastating consequences – both for the client and the legal practitioner. This need for diligent research has traditionally cost legal practitioners many non-billable hours searching through legal journals for case law and precedents.
The development of technology has also resulted in information overload in vastly increased volumes of data, much of which is not from reliable sources. While free online resources such as Internet search engines are used widely among attorneys to gain context as a starting point ahead of deeper legal research, caution should be practiced as these sources are not always vetted through expert input.
LexisNexis is first-to-market with new content that is updated faster and in greater depth across a broader range of research areas within Lexis Library. Access to 40 research areas ensures that subscribers stay abreast of new developments in the law.
LexisNexis® Legal & Professional
LexisNexis Legal & Professional is a leading global provider of legal, regulatory and business information and analytics that help customers increase productivity, improve decision-making and outcomes, and advance the rule of law around the world. As a digital pioneer, the company was the first to bring legal and business information online with its Lexis® and Nexis® services.

We study how media coverage impacts pricing of initial public offerings (IPOs) around the world. Higher media coverage in the pre-IPO period leads to lower IPO initial returns. The effect is mitigated in countries with better financial reporting quality, greater shareholder rights protection, and more stringent media censorship, and for IPOs "certified" by reputable intermediaries, while it is amplified in countries with higher levels of media penetration and media trust. Further, IPOs with higher pre-IPO media coverage have lower ex post price revision volatility. Our findings suggest that higher pre-IPO media coverage reduces information asymmetry among investors, leading to less underpriced IPOs.

Gian and Saki were sitting near the Windows when it was dark outside. Saki spotted the full moon and instantly was reminded of the old tale. She asked her "uncle Gian" if there really are rabbits in the moon making mchele cakes. It's difficult to answer a child's innocent questions. He/she will not be satisfied no matter how much we explain. The only way is to onyesha it to them somehow au postpone it skillfully. Our Gian was in such a situation.
It all happened in a pleasant day. At school, Gian dubiously noticed the alisema Suneo Honekawa taking his favourite banana, ndizi out of his bag. Then he didn't eat it. He spared it for someone. In in evening after school, Gian follows him and even climbs a ukuta of his house to spy on him. Gian saw his friend Suneo Lost in thought.This made Gian go out of his wits. Suneo has a girlfriend? Then the other siku at school, Gian kept a watch on him.
He saw a pink ribbon falling from his text book as he took it out of his bag. In the evening, Doraemon and Nobita helped mom to find a friend of her's using a gadget, a robot dog that finds things if it's image is drawn correctly and inserted into the dog. They succeeded in finding the friend. Gian goes to them and informs about Suneo. Nobita and Doraemon were surprised to hear this and they decided to find Suneo with the help of the gadget they had used.
I upendo Doraemon other than any other anime. The main reason behind it is that this colorful anime is closely related to real life. We know it's impossible to make all the gadgets that our Doraemon takes out of his pocket but when I hear Nobita's problems au the problems faced kwa every other character in this anime, they are problems faced kwa me too. And Doraemon has a solution for everything. Thus Doraemon is made in such a way that if ever he would really exist then things would happen as it is in the show.
Since Doraemon had several manufacturing defect, he could not survive in the ordinary Robot School and was sent to a training class for special robots. Here, he met Noramyako again, who regularly saved him from the wicked Jaibee and Kenta. Over time, Doraemon befriended Jaibee and Kenta as well as the robots in the school. On the graduation day, all the robots had to give their presentations. Unfortunately, Doraemon's presentation was not successful. Luckily, at the last second, he was chosen kwa Sewashi.
An earless blue robotic cat, one pocket bulging with gadgets from the future and a lifelong fear of mice: Who is he? Japan roars the answer — but English readers may be stumped. Because, even though he's a government-appointed "cultural ambassador" and a familiar face in zaidi than 30 countries, with his antics translated into dozens of languages, there has never been an official English version of the manga in which he stars. Until now.
Fujiko Fujio (藤子不二雄 Fujiko Fujio) was a nom de plume of a manga uandishi duo formed kwa two Japanese manga artists. Their real names are Hiroshi Fujimoto (藤本 弘 Fujimoto Hiroshi?, 1933–1996) and Motoo Abiko (安孫子 素雄 Abiko Motoo?, 1934–). They formed their partnership in 1951, and used the Fujiko Fujio name from 1954 until dissolution of the partnership in 1987.
From the outset they adopted a collaborative style where both worked simultaneously on the story and artwork, but as they diverged creatively they started releasing individual works under different names, Abiko as Fujiko Fujio A (藤子不二雄Ⓐ Fujiko Fujio Ē?), and Fujimoto as Fujiko F. Fujio (藤子・F・不二雄 Fujiko Efu Fuji?). Throughout their career they won many individual and collaborative awards, and are best known for creating the maarufu and long-running series Doraemon, the main character of which is officially recognized as a cultural ikoni of modern Japan. Some influences of most of their projects are the works of acclaimed manga artist Osamu Tezuka and many American cartoons and comic books.
the onyesha is about a blue cat robot sent from the 22nd century to help a lazy and weak boy called nobi nobita. nobita is always put in trouble kwa gian and sunio. doraemon gives him some devics that can help him.nobita has a little crush with a girl called shizuka . he wants to marry her in the future .so nobita asks help from doraemon to impress shizuka.nobita is very jealous of a boy called degisugi who always tops the class and also does well in sports.shizuka always is impressed kwa degisugi.nobita always fails in exams and is very weak in sports.but nobita.but nobita and doraemon are good Marafiki forever.
The Record of Nobita: Spaceblazer (のび太の宇宙開拓史 Nobita no Uchū Kaitakushi?) is a 1981 animated film based on the maarufu manga and anime series, Doraemon. It was released in 1981. The movie was released in Japan 14 March 1981. In 2009 the film was remade as Doraemon: The New Record of Nobita: Spaceblazer.
Nobita has been having a weird dream about a boy named Roppel and his strange companion Chami traveling in space. kwa a twist of fate, he met them in person where it turns out that they are real and that they were being pursued in space, causing their space vehicle to malfunction, connecting the space vehicle itself with Nobita's room. They journeyed to Roppel's planet and amidst their enjoyment, Nobita and Doraemon pledged to help Roppel's planet free from their oppressors.
Nobita's Dinosaur is the 1st installment of the Doraemon featured films based on the maarufu manga and anime series, Doraemon. It was released in 1980, one mwaka after the premiere of the TV series (making it the first feature-length Doraemon movie. The movie was released in Japan 1 March 1980. In 2006 the movie was remade.
Nobita protected a dinosaur from hunters from the future who wanted to kill it and sent it to the past. Because of an error, Nobita and his Marafiki came back to the past kwa the time machine and moved the dinosaur from North America to Japan. They the met the hunters and ran away. However, the dinosaur with Nobita and his Marafiki was caught. The Tyrannosaurus and universe-police helped them and gave the dinosaur freedom and let it roam in nature. Nobita and his Marafiki come back to the 20th century.
She loves Suneo very much and spoils him rotten. She sports curly hair and is often seen inaonyesha off her jewellery au branded handbags. Even though she's much kinder than her own son, sometimes Mrs. Tamako feels jealous for her inaonyesha off.
A successful businessman. He has lots of relationships with business elites, which are part of Suneo's inaonyesha off. He appears less frequently than his wife, mostly when going tours with family au inviting Suneo's Marafiki to his party.
Tamako (born on 16 February), is Nobita's stay-at-home mother and the series main antagonist. She can be very strict, is usually seen scolding Nobita, grounding him, au sending him out of the house (a typical Japanese household punishment used kwa parents). She is disappointed kwa his lazy attitude and academic failures. Several episodes involve Nobita trying to avoid his mother's scolding kwa using Doraemon's gadgets. Her maiden name is revealed to be 'Kataoka'. She has a tendency of stopping Nobita from going out to play and force him to study. However, on cold weather days, she almost always urges Nobita to go out and play. In a couple of episodes, Nobita sees her in the past. She is proved to be braver than Nobita.
Doraemon, the titular character, is the main protagonist of the series. He is a cat-like robot created kwa the Matsushiba robot company, and is sent back in time kwa Sewashi to aid Nobita. He possesses a fourth-dimensional pocket from which he can acquire various kinds of futuristic tools, gadgets, and playthings from a future department store. He also has the tendency to panic during emergencies, characterized kwa him frantically trying to pull out a very much-needed tool from his pocket, only to produce a huge assortment of unrelated household items. Still, Doraemon is very friendly and intelligent, not to mention long-suffering because of Nobita's antics.


Competition and scarcity involving natural resources—food, water, minerals, and energy—are growing security threats. Many countries important to the United States are vulnerable to natural resource shocks that degrade economic development, frustrate attempts to democratize, raise the risk of regime-threatening instability, and aggravate regional tensions. Extreme weather events (floods, droughts, heat waves) will increasingly disrupt food and energy markets, exacerbating state weakness, forcing human migrations, and triggering riots, civil disobedience, and vandalism.
Food security has been aggravated partly because the world's land masses are being affected by weather conditions outside of historical norms, including more frequent and extreme floods, droughts, wildfires, tornadoes, coastal high water, and heat waves. Rising temperature, for example, although enhanced in the Arctic, is not solely a high-latitude phenomenon. Recent scientific work shows that temperature anomalies during growing seasons and persistent droughts have hampered agricultural productivity and extended wildfire seasons. Persistent droughts during the past decade have also diminished flows in the Nile, Tigris-Euphrates, Niger, Amazon, and Mekong river basins.
While one might assume this was presented by an environmental scientist, it wasn't.
This analysis was presented on March 12, 2013 before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence by James R. Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, as part of the annual Worldwide Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community.
The fact that the US intelligence community considers Climate Change mitigation a National Security priority clearly shows that the scientific evidence of human produced Climate Change events is not considered "false science" by the people we have trusted to protect the country.
2) Renewable fuels do not require imported expensive minerals to function as battery electric systems do.
Rare earth elements (REE) are essential to civilian and military technologies and to the 21st century global economy, including development of green technologies and advanced defense systems. China holds a commanding monopoly over world REE supplies, controlling about 95 percent of mined production and refining.
China's dominance and policies on pricing and exports are leading other countries to pursue mitigation strategies, but those strategies probably will have only limited impact within the next five years and will almost certainly not end Chinese REE dominance. REE prices spiked after China enacted a 40-percent export quota cut in July 2010, peaking at record highs in mid-2011. As of December 2012, REE prices had receded but still remained at least 80 percent, and as much as 600 percent (depending on the type of REE), above pre-July 2010 levels.
In light of this analysis, Advanced Biofuels USA strongly urges all Americans to tell their elected officials that advanced, non-food renewable fuels are good for National Security and good for fighting Climate Change.
Adopt EPA Tier 3 "high octane/high ethanol" regular fuel so new high-efficiency cars and trucks can meet the 54.5 mpg 2022 fuel economy standard.
Start a decade-long Apollo type science and engineering program to produce over 60% of our transportation fuel from non-food biomass.
Fund the Apollo-type and related renewable energy R&D with a dedicated, self-reducing non-renewable carbon user fee. At $20 ton/carbon, or .05$/gallon for petroleum fuel, approximately $3.8 billion/year would be generated. As the proportion of renewable fuel increased, the user fee would drop in concert with the R&D project reaching a successful completion.
Advanced Biofuels USA agrees that Climate Change is a National Security priority.

Stewardship of land and animals has been a cornerstone of the Hostetler family dairy business for centuries. Today's focus on regenerative farming at Shtayburne Farm and Shtayburne Farm Creamery means conserving and replenishing the environment for future generations to enjoy.
"We've been dairy farming since the early 1700's, first in Switzerland and then after our ancestors emigrated to southeastern Pennsylvania," said Lorin Hostetler, who co-owns and co-manages the "old fashioned working dairy farm" and cheesemaking business with his dad Mark and brother Lance. "My parents both were raised on dairy farms as were my five siblings and me, moving to this farm in 2004… I've never completely left. I've always had a role. I felt cheesemaking was a great way to stay on the farm with my family and raise my own here, too."
Located in one of the most picturesque spots in the Finger Lakes, the farm sits high on a hill offering breathtaking views of the eastern shore of Seneca Lake. When considering a name for the farm, Lorin turned to his family's roots of Pennsylvania Dutch arriving at a translation of the town's name in which they live – Rock Stream – hence Shtayburne.
270 acres are used for farming, while 100 acres of dedicated woodland are being improved. "I strive to keep everything in balance by implementing practices that help minimize chemical and fertilizer use, reduce erosion, and control invasive vines and shrubs. We have 75 to 80 dairy cows and use most of the milk to make our cheese, and we grow corn, hay, soybeans, wheat and sorghum; some of which goes to market," said Lorin.
In 2010, after several months of learning the art of cheesemaking Lorin was pleased with the variety of handcrafted farmstead cheeses he'd produced, though feels "you're always perfecting your craft". The creamery and Cheese Shop opened that November. "Our focus was to have a retail location on the farm – to make the cheese and have folks come to visit. Seeing the farm and where the cheese is made is fun and educational," noted Lorin. "The company has grown to include fresh ice cream, waffle cones, milkshakes and we offer cheese or ice cream flights. We really encourage folks to come to spend time with us, relax and enjoy the view."
Offering 24 different flavors of curds, creamy Jacks and sharp Cheddar cheeses there's much to consider sampling if you opt for a cheese flight. Each style of cheese is available in plain, herbed or savory flavors (too numerous to list consider Tomato Basil or Buffalo Wing for your fresh curd enjoyment). The creamy mild nature of Jack lends itself deliciously to the addition of blueberries or cranberries (I love them both for spring and summer cheese plates). Last, do not overlook the horseradish, smoked or three-year-aged cheddars. My new favorite is their well-aged cheddar for its milky aroma, sweet creaminess, and hints of crystalline crunch.
Shatyburne Farm Creamery cheeses can be found in markets from Buffalo to Rochester to Syracuse, and in northern Pennsylvania. 2909 Chase Rd., Rock Stream, NY, 14876. Shop hours: Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For general information, to place an order, or schedule a tour (available by appointment only) call 315-270-2249.

Board index » General » Licensing and legal
Post subject: what happens now?
some members of the trade requested a tariff change a while ago. This went before the committee and was recommended for acceptance after consultation. The consultation ended at the end of April. There were a couple of objections received and they were due to be discussed at the committee meeting last night. After considering the objections the committee decided to defer the decision to a later date.
Now the situation is this. The 1976 act states If objection is duly made as aforesaid and is not withdrawn, the district council shall set a further date, not later than two months after the first specified date, on
which the table of fares shall come into force with or without modifications as
decided by them after consideration of the objections.
Now the 2 months runs out at the end of this month and the fares were due to increase on July 1st having previously been May 1st.
What happens if they don't get the deferred decision sorted by the 1st july?
Post subject: Re: what happens now?
Do you mean July 1st,if so the fare should be implemented from 1st July.

The new chair has not been told of any deadline and as far as he is aware the committee have the option to revke the earlier decision and start the process again.
grandad wrote:
I cannot see where they are allowed to stop the process and start again,it is clear in the Act that they have to implement the Tariff increase in one form or another.
I think the main problem is with the advice they get from the licensing team. The previous committee are all but gone. the chair and vice chairs did not get re-elected and the rest didn't want to go on the committee again. the new lot were given a report about the objections but say they have no background to the original proposal and the licensing team told them that there wasn't any. This was incorrect information because the original proposal along with supporting evidence has been before the previous committee 3 times.
I think someone is trying to scupper the review. It has been going on since October last year.
I have suggested to the chair that he stops listening to what he is being told and reads the act for himself.
Back to square one.

what does this part of section 65 mean then?
4) If objection is duly made as aforesaid and is not withdrawn, the district council shall set a further date, not later than two months after the first specified date, on which the table of fares shall come into force with or without modifications as decided by them after consideration of the objections.
I have just had a phone call from one of the previous licensing committee members who sat on the meeting as a substitute. She could not believe the incompetence of the report. The author of the report had provided some tables for the members to understand the figures.
The first part was comparing the starting rates,
currently £2.50 for 1/3 of a mile to be changed to £3.00 for 1/2 a mile.
So to give a percentage difference he has stated that if you have 3 starting rates at the current rate this will give a fare of £7.50 and if you have 2 starting rates at the proposed new rate which will give a fare of £6.00 so this is going to be a fare reduction. He can't get his head around that you can't have 3 starting rates on one journey. The former member stated that this was pointed out to him months ago and was removed from the papers pack and replaced with a proper version before the meeting that approved the fares in March and she can't understand why it has re-appeared. The officer could not explain why and would not remove it from the pack.
The first date is the date that objections (via the advertisement) had to be in by.
So basically the council had two months to implement an amended tariff once the objection date past, or start afresh i.e. new advert etc.
Still do not think the Council can get out of implementing the fares on July 1st.
Please point me to anywhere that says that they start afresh? All I can see is that the table of fares SHALL come into force with or without modification.
1. Council, following a period of consultations with the trade, agree a new tariff charge change.
2. The Council then advertises those changes, inviting objections within 14 days. The advertisement should state that the changes will come into effect on a certain date, usually at the end of those 14 days.
3. If objections are received, and not withdrawn, the council must meet and agree to keep the changes, reject the changes, or amend the changes. Any decision must be decided within two months of the first date.
4. If no decision is made within those two months then councils have no powers to raise fares. This isn't a case of where does it say that directly, it doesn't need to. The powers to set fares have a two month (from first date) timeline. Any increase outside of those parameters would be outside of the law.
Maybe those that wrote the legislation had councils that couldn't be arsed to make a decision in mind, and these provisions ensured they should be arsed.
The situation we have is that the council are not likely to make a decision within the 2 months timeframe so wouldn't that make the council in breach of the law for non determination? From what you seem to be saying the council can just sit on any request and do nothing.
Council once wanted to implement fare increase outside the 2 month period and found out to their cost that they were in breach of the Act and had to implement the new tariff immediately.

Q: Macro to FindReplace by List only replaces first element in List My macro to FindReplace only replaces the first element in the Array
I cant figure out what is wrong
Thanks
Sub sReplace()
 'Column header for Search
 'List of words to look for
 'Word to Change elements is list to

fReplace "location", Array("Saint Paul", "SAINT PAUL", "St Paul", "St. Paul, St. Paul"), "Minneapolis-St. Paul"

End Sub

.
Sub fReplace(colHeader As String, LookFor As Variant, ReplaceWith As String)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim aCell

Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Helper")

For Each aCell In LookFor
Set aCell = ws.Rows("1:1").Find(What:=colHeader, LookIn:=xlValues, _
        LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _

         .Replace What:=LookFor, Replacement:=ReplaceWith, _
            LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, _
            SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False
    End With
End If
Next aCell
End Sub

A: Try code below:
Sub sReplace()
    'Column header for Search
    'List of words to look for
    'Word to Change elements is list to

    fReplace "location", Array("Saint Paul", "SAINT PAUL", "St Paul", "St. Paul, St. Paul"), "Minneapolis-St. Paul"
End Sub

In array above you can remove any of "Saint Paul", "SAINT PAUL" because you're using MatchCase:=False.
And updated fReplace sub:
Sub fReplace(colHeader As String, LookFor As Variant, ReplaceWith As String)
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim aCell As Range
    Dim lookForVal

    Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Helper")

    Set aCell = ws.Rows("1:1").Find(What:=colHeader, LookIn:=xlValues, _
                                    LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                                    SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, _
                                    SearchFormat:=False)

    If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
        For Each lookForVal In LookFor
            aCell.EntireColumn.Replace What:=lookForVal, Replacement:=ReplaceWith, _
                                        LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                                        MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
                                        ReplaceFormat:=False
        Next lookForVal
    End If
End Sub

However be careful, since you're using LookAt:=xlPart in Replace method in word "Minneapolis-St. Paul" part "St. Paul" could be replaced with "Minneapolis-St. Paul" and you'd get "Minneapolis-Minneapolis-St. Paul" (because "St. Paul" is in LookFor array).

A: Alternate (with same word of caution simoco provided)
Sub fReplace(sColHeader As String, varFind As Variant, sReplace As String)

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim rngFound As Range
    Dim sFind As Variant
    Dim sFirst As String

    Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Helper")
    Set rngFound = ws.Rows(1).Find(sColHeader, ws.Cells(1, ws.Columns.Count), xlValues, xlWhole)
    If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then

In the mid 1980s, I did many studies investigating which differences in human movement determined injury potential and athletic performance. In another kind of study, I wanted to know what made the difference between the punch of a black belt martial artist, and the same punch by an athletic person without training.
In present day, a computer directly picks up the locations of the person's joints at each point in time, generating a three dimensional computer image of the person as they move in real time. Software automatically calculates, draws, and records the image.
Back when I did these studies, we didn't have any of that. I did it all manually. I filmed two subjects using 16mm high speed filming. An athletic man who had never done martial arts was subject #1. My husband Paul, who had earned his black belt a few years before that, volunteered as subject #2.
Paul is left handed so I had to reverse the images to make exact comparisons.
Below are some center of gravity calculations and comparisons.
As you can see, there was a lot of hand-calculation and charting back then.
Then I could use an advanced machine called a typewriter so that I didn't have to hand write the entire study paper.
Not long after, with improvements in automating this process, action video games were first flourishing. I was invited to a computer-generated imagery (CGI) development studio to be their "movement representation figure." They put the dots on my joint centers and filmed me using high-speed 3D computer graphics modeling as I did martial arts and tumbling moves. Not just one punch, painstakingly done, but jumping, spinning, flying all over the studio, and up and down walls.
The software automatically generated a mathematical, "wireframe" 2-D representation of my three-dimensional form. From it they animated a wild female warrior action figure for their fighting/mission genre arcade and video gameplay. They also used skeletal animation for when I would morph (on-screen) into various animal forms. I never got royalties but it was fun.
This is a big fun topic. I can post more about motion capture analysis of various sports if anyone is interested.
