For individuals' privacy I am not able to provide these numbers by directorates as requested. In some directorates the numbers of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and staff with Disability are small and as such, providing a directorate breakdown may identify individual staff.
(1) What is the plan to keep the Rivett shops free from bird waste.
(2) In relation to the birds and the health concerns around their presence at Rivett shops, what is the plan to (a) manage and (b) remove or deter, the birds.
(1) Public Health Officers have attended the Rivett shops to assess the situation. I am advised that this is not a public health issue and as such is not covered by the Public Health Act 1997. However, Public Health Officers have been working with the manager of Rivett shops to devise a plan to manage the birds.
(2) Recommendations have been made to the manager of Rivett shops to install spikes on awning beams and above shop entries. The spikes are intended to prevent the birds from landing or roosting.
(1) What is the rationale behind the duplication of only the section of Horse Park Drive between Francis Ford Boulevard and Gundaroo Drive.
(2) What are the plans to duplicate the remainder of Horse Park Drive.
(3) What is the time frame to duplicate Horse Park Drive.
(1) The Territory and Municipal Services Directorate (TAMS) is currently designing the upgrade of the intersection where Horse Park Drive meets Katherine Avenue. As part of this design process, TAMS has considered the future duplication of Horse Park Drive in the vicinity of this intersection. The design for the upgrade has been funded and completed. A bid for construction funding will be prepared by TAMS for consideration in the 2014/15 budget.

Played with VBoxManage and tested everything out. Sometimes it was annoying when referring to .vdi files that referring to files failed, because the .vdi UUID is already active. It doesn't matter, then you can use the UUID to refer to the file, but ... It would be nice if that wouldn't require manual extra step.
Once again had several hours long workshop about system backup & restore. How to make sure that data integrity is preserved, how to backup different databases without bringing down the database service, still maintaining data integrity, etc. How to make sure that even in case where hacker could access some of the key systems, they still can't access / delete the data.
What's the point of using MFA and when to use "application passwords" without 2FA. When the static application passwords are much weaker than the primary password I'm using even if I've got the 2FA enabled. Hmm. Strange approach. Many services seem to provide somewhat insecure static passwords.
Wondered one project manager. He was astonished about the fact, that there were new requirements popping up during the software development project. Scope creep is hardly anything new. I think it's usually more norm than exception. That's why it's so important to make agreements right and keep project in-line and to manage customer expectations.
Nice article about web bloat. Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Most of websites are absolutely full of s...t. Like a news site, with a short 1 KB article, might require you to load 10 Megabytes of junk before you can see that 1 KB article. That's well, bit inefficient, slightly said.
Using simple SPF include rule is very simple and easy configuration to understand. There's also benefit that, if you change the SPF info. It'll get auto-updated for all users. Otherwise you might end up having lot of angry people. This is also why outlook is doing exactly same. Yet, I think it's stupid that they're chaining the rules, and not forking directly. Aka, it would be better to have one spf rule which refers to others. Than having SPF rule which refers to SPF rule which refers to SPF rule, as outlook is doing right now. Some verification sites claim that the depth of the lookups is too great, and not all email services are going to check all the SPF rules due to excess nesting.

GameStop, the one-stop-shop for video games and related merch, released its sales results for the holiday shopping season.
The company reported overall sales of $2.63 billion, a decline of 5 percent when compared to the 2017 holiday season.
GameStop attributes the decrease to two factors: a shift in the company's 2017 fiscal calendar and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 being released last October, outside the holiday shopping period, instead of in November.
Looking at specific categories, new hardware sales, new video game software sales, and pre-owned sales all declined. Video game accessories, collectibles, and digital receipts all performed well, though—accessories saw the strongest growth, 28.7 percent, thanks to controller and headset sales.

2006 - The year in local books
By DAN BARNETT
It was an eclectic year in local publishing. This column recognized some 40 books by local authors or those with local roots, and the subject matter ranged from nefarious doings at the zoo to computer animation. You'll find reviews of these books all archived here at Musable.
Poetry, novels and children's books
The Biblio File celebrated five volumes of poetry, including "Crossings" by Audrey Small; "Try to Write a Poem Without the Word Blood In It" by Sally Allen McNall; "Skyways," edited by Patricia Wellingham-Jones; "Tom Thomson In Purgatory" by Troy Jollimore; and "Poems From My Soul" by Alma Garrett.
I reviewed five novels, including two from Redding writer Steve Brewer, "Whipsaw" and "Monkey Man" (that's the one with the zoo doings). Charlie Price and "Dead Connection" were also from Redding. Then there were "Promised Land" by Helga Ruge and "Brother Eagle, Sister Moon" by Phil Dynan out of Corning.
Incidentally, I have some big novels on my shelf still unreviewed. I'm a slow reader and thus exceedingly selective about novels (which require lots of emotional investment and just plain time). But write the history of Chico radio stations and you're in!
The third five is children's books. I love their exuberant colors and creative expression. We had "Here Is the African Jungle" from Phyl Manning; "Perry the Pack Rat Finds a Friend" by Mardell E. Alberico; Debbie Cobb's "Gracie's Big Adventure With Augustine the Beaver"; and two from T. E. Watson: "The Man Who Spoke With Cats" and "Glen Robbie."
History/memoir
The largest category this year. Two about the military: "A Patch of Ground: Khe Sanh Remembered" by Michael Archer; and "Special Agent, Vietnam: A Naval Intelligence Memoir" by Douglass H. Hubbard Jr. Then there were three in Arcadia's "Images of America" series: "Chico" (Edward V. Booth, John Nopel, Keith Johnson, Darcy Davis); "Oroville" (James Lenhoff); and "Paradise" (Robert Colby). Colby also produced "Old Days in Butte" and Teresa Ward and the Richvale Writing Group checked in with "Richvale: A Legacy of Courage, Dedication, and Perseverance."
Olivia Claire High gave us "An Angel Among Us: A Mother's Heartfelt Story"; Lucia Barbini Falcone wrote "Over Bridges, Across Tables: Growing Up On the Island of Murano"; we had "Essays From the Ten" by Daniel Thomas; "Exploring Chico's Past, And Other Essays" by Michele Shover; "Six Boys and a Bag of Dirt" by Dick Cory; "Under the Influence: Working-Class Drinking, Temper-ance, and Cultural Revo-lution in Russia, 1895-1932" by Kate Transchel; and "Bicycling Beyond City Limits: A Journal of Endurance, Friendship and Discovery" by Michael F. Foley (Chico to South Carolina in 55 days).
We were also graced with "Storytelling Through Animation" by Mike Wellins; "Body Intelligence: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, and Feel Great About Your Body Without Dieting!" by Ed Abramson; "Take Back Your Life: Recovering from Cults and Abusive Relationships" by Janja Lalich and Madeleine Tobias; "Legacy By Design: Succession Planning for Agribusiness Owners" by Kevin Spafford; "Geology of the Sierra Nevada, Revised Edition" from Mary Hill; "The Chico User's Guide" by Eric Norlie; and "Who ARE You People? A Personal Journey Into the Heart of Fanatical Passion in America" by Shari Caudron.
Photography/Art
Finally, two coffee-table delights: "Mobile Mansions: Taking 'Home Sweet Home' on the Road" by Doug Keister; and "The Murals of John Pugh: Beyond trompe l'oeil" by Kevin Bruce.
A tip of the hat to you all!

An area writer's Christmas grace
Her debut as a teenager was not auspicious. "I squandered every bit of my teen ... and early adult years. I was pregnant at 13. I had an abortion. At 14, I was with child again, and at 15 I gave birth to a baby girl in June of '72. Around this same time I started experimenting with different types of drugs and alcohol to find something to make me feel at ease with life, because I was pretty bound by feelings of inferiority, inadequacy and anxiety. Six months after the birth of my little girl, her father died of an overdose of alcohol and heroin (he was only 16)."
Though her life spirals yet further downward, local author Alma Garrett, who looks back on those years in "Poems From My Soul" ($12 in paperback from Red Lead Press, www.redleadbooks.com), finds another, infinitely greater nativity, and the power of God come to earth. "Wonder of All Wonders," reads the title of one poem: "Love pure and Holy, undefiled, / Wrapped in a manger / In the form of a child." "You rain down treasures / From heaven above;" she writes in "Reign, Rein, Rain," "Your grace, Your mercy / Your peace, Your love."
The book is a deeply personal testimony about that love. In the first part, searing narrative is interspersed with poetic commentary. In the latter part, as if a great song has broken forth, Garrett writes again and again of "The Call": "There's a call, can't you hear it? / To be one with the Father, son and Holy Spirit."
"Seventeen years ago," she says in one of the last narrative passages, "I surrendered the use of drugs, alcohol and my life to Jesus. ... It has been an uphill climb as well as a challenge, and I've got a long way to go. ... I don't mean to say that I am perfect. I haven't learned all I should even yet, but I keep working toward that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be."
Her earlier life featured a succession of boyfriends. They were pretty but deceptive packages, addicts of various kinds. One of her poems is entitled "Don't Be Taken In."
"In 1983," Garrett writes, "I moved out of the Bay Area to a small town in Northern California. I moved to get away from everything I knew and everything I became. I was getting tired of drugs and the mess they made of my life, I was tired of the people in my life, I was tired of men using me, and all I knew was that I needed a change. I didn't understand that if nothing changed on the inside (my heart), then no matter where I went my environment would be the same. ... I would take my jealousy, my fears, my anger, my memories, my pain. I would take everything."
As for drugs, she did take everything. The last piece in the book, "Tripping (Revised)" juxtaposes a kind of cool, swaggering rhythm with an abrupt warning of the spiritual dangers: "Shoot it, toot it, drink it, chew it, / Pop it, drop it ... YOU BETTER STOP IT."
But that's not the end of Garrett's story, a testimony of Christmas grace. "Work in me Thy Father's will," she writes in another poem, "To do of Thy good pleasure; / Birth in me the likeness / Of heaven's most precious treasure."
Ridge historian's story of Paradise is richly illustrated and a grand gift
Robert Colby, former editor of Tales of the Paradise Ridge, has just published "Paradise" ($19.99 in paperback from Arcadia Publishing), part of the publisher's "Images of America" series of pictorial treatments of towns and cities across the country.
"Paradise" is available at area bookstores or through Arcadia's Web site (www.arcadiapublishing.com). The book completes the story of Paradise and the upper ridge begun last year in "Magalia to Stirling City," also published by Arcadia, written by Colby and the late Lois McDonald, to whom "Paradise" is dedicated.
Colby's introduction recounts the origin of the town (for awhile it was called "Orloff"), the development of agriculture on the ridge and the formation of the Paradise Irrigation District (PID) in 1916. Then, in more than 200 beautifully reproduced black-and-white historical photographs, seven chapters take the reader from a consideration of the area's Maidu inhabitants on through the late-19th and early-20th centuries, to Paradise as it was in the 1940s, '50s and '60s.
Each photograph carries a long explanatory caption. Several chapters focus on some of the important names associated with Paradise. In 1884, for example, Francis "Fannie" Breese, just 17, helped raise $21.50 toward the $41 needed to purchase three acres of land from her uncle for what was to become Paradise Cemetery.
More recently, Erle Stanley Gardner, who wrote 82 Perry Mason novels, "bought 20 acres at the end of Crestview Drive" in the early 1950s to escape all the folderol his fame had brought him. Colby writes that Gardner "was no stranger to Butte County, having spent his teenage years in Oroville in the early 1900s, where he was suspended from Oroville Union High School for pulling pranks on the principal."
In "The Case of the Runaway Corpse," published in 1954, Gardner had one of his characters actually give the directions to the Paradise hideaway, in reality known to "only a few of his closest associates. ... Here he could relax, write, and ride his dirt bike. The term 'dirt bike' was years in the future, but J.W. Black, a longtime Paradise resident and master mechanic, constructed ones for Gardner and himself to ride in the surrounding mountains."
"Paradise" is full of such tidbits. There are also pictures of harvest fairs (the one on the cover shows the "Woodman's Dance Platform at Olive Street and College Avenue in 1912-13") and the famous pipes of PID. "From the beginning," Colby writes, "leaks in the PID water system were a problem. Because of steel shortages in World War I, pipes made of redwood staves bound with steel wire were used. ... Even today, much of PID's budget goes to replacing the inferior World War II steel pipe."
A train engineer and brakeman were killed on June 25, 1909, "when a 27-car lumber train left Stirling City for Chico. Leaving the Magalia Depot, the train 'ran away' on the down slope, passing the Paradise Depot at 70 miles per hour, and three quarters of a mile below the depot at Neal Road, it derailed." An extraordinary photograph of the wreck shows only a mass of twisted metal.
"Paradise" is a must-have for those interested in local history. Oh, and let Santa know, too, for old times' sake.
Kids' books by local authors emphasize relationships
Local authors have been busy writing children's books and it seems just the right opportunity to let readers know what's available this holiday season.
KHSL-TV weekend anchor Debbie Cobb has published "Gracie's Big Adventure With Augustine the Beaver" ($10.95 in paperback from Laurob Press). The book is available in Chico at local bookstores as well as Bird in Hand and Creative Apple.
Paradise illustrator Steve Ferchaud uses muted earth tones to tell the story. A recent E-R article by Laura Urseny revealed that there is a hidden "G" (presumably for Gracie) in each of Ferchaud's paintings. I went back and looked and found several obvious ones, but a few pages have me stumped. Put it this way. Finding Waldo was easy!
The story begins with young Gracie as she plays in her backyard. In a nearby pond young Augustine the beaver, curious soul, decides to explore the world beyond. The cars and noise and a big dog in the neighborhood give him quite a fright until he sees the swimming pool at Gracie's house and dives right in.
And so Gracie meets Augustine. But what to do with him? At first she tries to hide him "without being noticed by her very nosey brother, Joey." But Joey finds out and now there are two to keep the secret. Mom and Dad seem unaware until, that night, Augustine leaves Gracie's closet to do some more exploring. And that means the pool. This time Gracie's parents hear the big splash.
"Gracie had some explaining to do. She told her parents the truth. ... After a good night's rest, a family meeting was held." What to do with Augustine? "After a big feast prepared just for Augustine, Gracie and Joey carefully loaded him into the red wagon and pulled him all the way back to the pond." Along the way the little wagon and its inhabitant cause quite a stir. Augustine learns a lesson about wandering from home, and Gracie and Joey sleep securely knowing they've done the right thing.
Relationships are also at the heart of a very different kind of book, "Perry the Pack Rat Finds a Friend" ($15.95 in hardcover from Words of Whimsy Publishing out of Orland), written and illustrated by Mardell E. Alberico. Using funny drawings and bright, primary colors, Alberico tells the tale, so to speak: "Perry the pack rat lived in a nest / which was filled with beautiful things. / He had baubles and bangles, bracelets that jangle / and a lovely assortment of rings."
Perry has lots of stuff, all right: "He had silver and keys, thimbles and cheese / and marbles enough to lend. / He had dice, which were nice, a clock that could talk, / but Perry did not have a friend."
That, of course, is a problem, and Perry hatches a plot to find a friend and offer him lots of loot. But then Perry, on one of his many pack rat trips, finds a mole who (because he is unable to see) has lost the way to his hole in the ground.
Perry helps Sir Mole find the hole and tries to impress him with his baubles -- but the mole doesn't need rings and is not impressed. The two become friends, and Perry learns sometime important. "So now Perry knew, he could see it was true, / friendship is gained through kind deeds."
It's a gentle reminder that's not just kid stuff.

Richvale history, family memories told in sumptuous book and companion photo CD
"Richvale," writes Dennis Lindberg, "is often referred to as the birthplace of the California rice industry. Formerly known as Selby Switch, a railroad siding, the new town was named in 1909 by the Richvale Land Company developers, who were implying that the land was rich and would grow anything."
That turned out not to be the case. The soil was good only for growing rice, but the process was not exactly easy. Lindberg, the chair of the Richvale Writing Group, notes that "this difficult, backbreaking venture required dedication and perseverance from those who came, primarily from Midwestern states, and stayed to overcome the obstacles they found at every turn in the road." The Writing Group, with more than 40 members over the last half decade, was determined to preserve the memories of Richvale in its early years. Facilitated by Butte College writing instructor Teresa Ward, the group has produced a fitting tribute to their families and has given the wider reading public an extraordinary compendium of life as it was.
"Richvale: A Legacy of Courage, Dedication, and Perseverance" ($65 in hardcover) is available at the Butte County Rice Growers Association in Richvale; in Gridley at Ace Hardware and the Gridley Museum; the Bookworm and the Butte County Historical Society in Oroville; as well as Made in Chico.
Lyon Books in Chico is presenting a special program featuring the book, and some of its contributors, at 3 p.m. Sunday. The public is invited, as a news release says, to meet "some very lively octogenarians; readers will include Norman Lofgren, Dennis Lindberg, Mervin Parsons, Vivian Potter and the youngster of the group Susan Rystrom Stone."
There is also a companion photo CD ($10), which features 364 pictures from the book along with 617 additional images, from family photos to pictures of harvesting equipment.
The first half of the book includes almost 100 articles telling stories of the California Rice Industry, telephone party lines and the history of Richvale's not-so-hidden vices (think snuff, ballroom dancing and cigarette smoking). The last half presents the stories of some 90 Richvale families, including the founders of the Lundberg Family Farms.
Vivian Fagerstone Potter writes of the first two-car accident in Richvale, in 1930 "at the intersection of Eucalyptus and Lofgren." Potter was 8 and she should know. She was the driver, "seated behind the huge, wooden steering wheel of our spiffy, black, Model T Ford. ... My father, Oscar, was sitting on the passenger seat beside me. ... As we were slowly headed south on Eucalyptus Road, nearing the intersection, I saw the other vehicle, an open-style Model T, approaching from the left, headed west. I stared very wide-eyed and could clearly see my friend Magnus ('Maggi') Nataas Jr., age 11, seated behind the driver's wheel, with a terrified wide-eyed look on his face as the two cars, ever so slowly, slowly, rolled toward the intersection." The two cars met and, writes Potter "went 'crunch, crunch?' There was almost a question mark in the slight noise, as if the T's didn't know what an accident was."
The book is dedicated to Luella Lofgren (1916-2005), the daughter of a Richvale farm family, who added her contributions to the book and encouraged the other writers as well.
For those with ties to Rich-vale this book is a must. For those who treasure the lively memories of an earlier era, "Richvale" is a work of heart.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA & G4DDK on Friday the 12th of April.
This has been a difficult time for HF. The solar wind has remained active and the Bz component exhibited several periods of prolonged southward deflection, meaning it more easily coupled with the Earth's magnetic field. Solar wind speed ranged mostly from 425-475km per second and this was enough to keep the Kp index elevated, often to four. The net result was that conditions were pretty rotten, with even 14MHz struggling to open at times. However, the solar flux did increase to 78 thanks to the return of sunspot number 2738. This is large, but appears to be only producing very minor B-Class flares. An isolated C-Flare may also be possible.
Next week should be more settled, geomagnetically, with a maximum Kp index of two and solar flux of 74. If the solar wind drops we may expect fair HF conditions next week.
This current solar cycle had a peak average of 82 sunspots. The Solar Cycle 25 Prediction Panel experts have just said the next may have a slow start, but is anticipated to peak with solar maximum occurring between 2023 and 2026, and a sunspot range of 95 to 130. This is well below the average number of sunspots, which typically ranges from 140 to 220 sunspots per solar cycle.
It seems that high pressure remains firmly in control to the north of Britain and over Scandinavia for much of the coming week. This would normally mean that Tropo should get a mention, certainly for eastern areas, but the air mass is fairly dry and therefore not ideal for producing the required change in refractive index needed for Tropo.
In the south and west there will be some spells of rain and a possibility of some rain scatter, but it will also be rather windy at times. There should be a trend later next week for a more moist and warmer flow to cross the North Sea and this could introduce extensive misty low cloud along the east coast. This is exactly what's needed for better Tropo prospects in eastern areas.
We are rapidly approaching the Sporadic-E season and should start to see some paths on 10m and possibly 6m opening up within Europe. It is worth checking the clusters and beacons for band activity. Digital modes like FT8 will benefit first, but it is possible that SSB and CW will start to show in the second half of the month. The typical early paths are often out to the eastern Mediterranean and over the Pyrenees, usually just out of reach from the UK, but a good sign should they occur.
Although the Lyrids meteor shower does not peak until next week, the first indications of the shower will begin to be noticed around the 16th of April, probably with a gradual increase in the number of meteors encountered growing during the forthcoming week. Don't expect great things this week, but do keep an eye on the ON4KST chat for reports of meteor bursts. Better still, keep listening on one of the more distant 6m, 4m or 2m beacons for the occasional ping.
As the moon declination decreases during the week, 144MHz moon background sky noise gradually increases. However, path degradation is low due to the moon's closest approach, or perigee, on the 17th. Libration is also low on the 17th and this will help 1296MHz EME, as CW characters will be less 'chopped'. The 17th would be good day to try EME.


For undergraduates beginning their college career and for all novice learners, some of the most vital skills are the ability to look closely and connect clear, specific observations to perceptive analysis and deep understanding of meaning. But this kind of observation and close looking requires a level of focused engagement and investment of time that is often difficult to achieve.
At Macaulay Honors College at the City University of New York, we have developed a a pair of large-scale events, Macaulay Night at the Brooklyn Museum and the Media Arts Workshops, which introduce all our first-year students to these skills and promote this level of engagement. Inspired by and the conversational techniques pioneered by Drs. Beth Harris and Steven Zucker of Smarthistory at Khan Academy, and in partnership with them, we use a museum experience, digital tools and basic new media approaches to offer all our incoming students a hands-on encounter (often their first) with visual art and their own analytical abilities.
This workshop will demonstrate for participants how an event like this can be staged at any scale, for large or small groups of students or even independent learners. Participants will have the opportunity to experiment with the techniques themselves (including conversational interactions and basic video editing), to map out implementations in their own contexts and to plan procedures for collecting data and assessment. The workshop is suitable for museum educators, college faculty or high school teachers, administrators and instructional technologists.


Cosmetic Dentist* Dr Ron Drachenberg is definitely a family man . . .
Married to Susan (Whidden) for more than 25 years, you can often hear him say, "Susan is the best thing that ever happened to me." For people who know them well, it is quite obvious that he absolutely adores her.
And the boys . . . well they aren't boys anymore. Dr & Susan have two sons---both of whom "grew up" with The SmileStudio. Dr. Drachenberg lights up with pride every time he mentions those boys. They are grown up now, but you can be sure the "Father-Son" bonds are as strong as ever.

With the big rain storm hitting California, I had to watch the waves crash against the jetty at Morro Rock in Morro Bay, CA. I had an appointment with eye doctor in Morro Bay, then made a quick stop to see the waves before heading off to work.
I took these photos because they remind me that some of us are wired to push the line between safety and danger. We don't want a false line. So, we move it inch by inch. We test its safety and sense of danger. We want to see where we can stand and know it is the true edge.
With all the pushing, nudging, and testing the line, it is important to know that the line must change. A person returning to a once familiar position of the safety's edge may find the earth has fallen away or the waves and storms are bigger. Just like these waves are a force to consider so are the waves of life. Keep your eyes open and never turn your back.
Now, before you call this unknown couple crazy, they were not in danger of a crashing wave. The focal length of the lens compressed the distance between them and the surf. It was safe. They were on another grouping of rocks. The biggest danger was slipping on a wet rock.

General Mills to purchase Pasta Master in Australia
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA — General Mills, Inc. has agreed to acquire Bendigo, Victoria-based Pasta Master, a producer of chilled Italian meals, pasta and sauces. The sale, which includes the business and a production facility in Bendigo, is expected to be completed in March 2011.
General Mills said approximately 75 people working at the facility will become part of General Mills when the sale is completed next year.
"The acquisition of Pasta Master strategically broadens our ready-to-cook pasta offerings to consumers," said Markus Muehleisen, managing director of General Mills Australia. "Its long history of innovation and quality in Italian meals fit well with our Latina portfolio, which is Australia's No. 1 brand of fresh pasta and sauces."
In addition to Latina, General Mills also markets Old El Paso Mexican food, Betty Crocker cake mixes and Nature Valley muesli bars, which were introduced last April.

Sudan: South Kordofan Lawlessness - Two Farmers Killed in Nuba Mountains
Riding on a motorcycle in Darfur (Social media)
Abu Jubeiha / Abu Kershola / Dalami — The Sudanese Human Rights and Development Organisation (HUDO) recently reported the killing of two farmers in two separate incidents in Abu Jubeiha in South Kordofan in end December. On January 1, the passengers of two lorries were robbed of their belongings in the area of Abu Kershola. In Dalami, a water pump was stolen.
Mohamed Mousa (30) and Idris Ali Mousa (42) were working on their farm seven kilometres east of Abu Jubeiha on December 26,, when five armed men approached them and shot at their heads.
Mousa was killed instantly. Ali Mousa was seriously wounded, and had to be transferred to the hospital of Abu Jubeiha, HUDO said in a statement on January 10.
The family members of the victims filed a complaint at the police of Abu Jubeiha, but no investigations were done.
The police of Abu Jubeiha also did not do anything after the killing of farmer Ahmed Matouk (45) was reported two days later.
Kenana tribesman Matouk was found dead by relatives at his farm near Deleibat village not far from Abu Jubeiha town on December 28. He was shot in the head.
On January 1, nine armed and masked men riding in two motor carts and on a motorcycle obstructed two passenger lorries on the road between El Jebeilat and Abu Kershola, and robbed the passengers of their belongings.
The two robbery cases were reported to the police of Abu Kershola and of El Fayed Um Abdallah, to no avail.
Fuel needed
On Tuesday, a bull was stolen from El Sereif village, south of Kedber in Dalami locality, by masked gunmen riding on motorcycles.
Abdelrahim Kunda told Radio Dabanga that the owner, Haisam Loti, and other villagers tried to track down the thieves, but army forces stationed in Kedber prevented them from doing so.
The soldiers asked the villagers to provide fuel to search for the bull together, but the villagers were unable to provide it.
That evening, a water pump was stolen from the village. Tracks of a motorcycle and a tuktuk showed the thieves came from Um Barambita, which is a few kilometres east of El Sereif.

At their core, an insurance policy is essentially a binding legal contract. You are offering an insurance company your money for their promise to take care of you if and when you are injured or your property is destroyed. In business litigation terms, this is known as a compromise, and failing to complete your end of it may be considered a serious violation. On the other side, though, if your insurance provider does not settle your claim in a reasonable amount of time, or uses dishonesty while handling your claim, you may be blindsided by bad faith insurance.
Afraid you are being mistreated or misguided by an insurance company? Call (888) 490-7933 and speak to an Oklahoma City personal injury lawyer from Clemens Blair. We have more than 30 years of legal experience we can put to use when dealing with insincere insurance companies.
Insurance companies are, as the name states, companies, and no business can continue unless it creates revenue or turns a profit. To save a bottom dollar or boost their quarterly numbers, some insurance providers are notorious for using bad faith tactics that put their customers in unfair positions. What might be worse than anything else, by attempting to cheat you out of thousands of dollars, they are usually only saving themselves the tiniest fraction of one percent of their total finances.
If you are experiencing significant difficulty in settling a claim with your insurer, it could be a red flag that indicates they are handling your claim in bad faith. Do not let them get away with abusing your trust or lack of familiarity with insurance law. Seek legal recourse with our team as soon as possible.
You Have Rights – Exercise Them with Our Help!
There are two sides to every insurance claim. You have just as many rights as a large insurance company, if not more. If you were injured in a car accident, accident on the job, or even due to medical malpractice, you may be in for a bout with your insurance provider or the provider for the accountable parties. Let our personal injury lawyers in Oklahoma City handle your case and prepare to fight for what is right in the face of bad faith insurance.
You can start pursuing justice stress-free by filling out a no-cost, no-obligation case evaluation form today.


Developing a good garden plan before the growing season can make your garden much more successful, but it can be a daunting process. Both beginning and experienced gardens are welcome at this workshop. The first half will be going over general tips, tricks, and principles of garden planning. In the second half participants can get individualized help designing their own garden plans. Participants should bring along a list of foods they like to eat/grow and a rough map or description of their garden including area, exposure, and any adjacent trees or buildings.


Harwood was founded in 1874 when the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway built through the area. The town was named for Thomas Moore Harwood, who came to Texas in 1850 and started a law practice in Gonzales in 1853. The Gonzales branch was built in 1882. The branch line was sold to the Texas, Gonzales and Northern Railway in 1992.

An Open Letter on the EU Budget
LFMI // 14 July 2020
The negotiations on the European Union's multi-annual financial perspective for 2021-2027 are underway. The European Commission's recently updated budget proposal with suggested measures regarding the COVID-19 health and economic crisis and the recovery of the EU economy proposes only minor changes to the earlier version despite the extraordinary circumstances related to the pandemic and the increased need to use scarce taxpayers' money in the most effective way possible.
The proposed massive borrowing of an additional € 750 billion at the expense of future financial obligations of EU taxpayers without a proper budget reform is likely to deepen the existing deficiencies in the EU budget and to undermine the EU's ability to rise to the challenges facing EU27. Failure to reform the EU budget could further strengthen redistributive conflicts inside the EU and increase the risk of disintegration of the single market.
After the UK's exit the EC's proposal to increase the contributions of EU27 in order to maintain the same budget size as in 2014-2020 is ill-founded, especially as its significant share would continue to be redistributed to farmers, causing inefficiencies and raising questions of fairness.
The financial effects of Brexit and the needs related to the joint response to the COVID-19 crisis should be handled by reducing funding for CAP and cohesion policy.
A number of changes to the EU budget structure proposed by the European Commission are in the right direction, proposing to increase funding for those areas where it may add value. However, the proposed reductions for CAP and cohesion policy are negligible, and the total funding proposed for these areas remain far too large, amounting to around two thirds of the proposed EU budget.
At the same time the funding proposed for those areas which could bring value-added and contribute to the common goals of the EU27 are modest. A large number of new programmes and their catchy titles cannot disguise the remaining huge disproportions between their funding and the amounts earmarked for CAP and cohesion policy. The elimination of such redistributive programmes should be an essential precondition for the EU budget if it is to meet the basic principles of effectiveness, fairness and subsidiarity.
The size of the EU budget should be an outcome of the decisions to fund those areas and projects which comply with the principles of subsidiarity and European added value and which contribute to the common goals of the EU27 set out in the EU Treaty. Reductions of ill-founded redistributive funding should be redirected to the areas which contribute to the consolidation of the common market and more generally create positive spill-overs from EU funding to its member states, maximizing benefits from interdependencies and minimizing risks from it. Examples of such targeted spending include cross-border infrastructure and facilitation of cross-border trade, investment and travel, external border protection, and structural reforms.
The revenue structure of the EU budget should be made more transparent and easier to administer by moving towards GNI-based contributions of its member states, while other sources of revenues and corrections of payments (rebates) should be phased out.
The proposals to introduce new revenue sources, such as a tax on the access to the common market, a common consolidated corporate tax base and national contributions from non-recycled plastic packaging waste, contradict the principles of a more transparent and easily administered budget. Some of the newly proposed taxes would be counter-productive to the EU efforts to re-shore production and increase investments in the EU common market.
A GNI-based budget would be in line with the principles of fairness and democratic representation – as long as there is no EU wide polity there should be no EU-wide taxes.
We, the eleven undersigned think tanks from ten Member States, call on the EU leadership to rise up to today's challenges and embrace the declared principles of effectiveness, fairness, subsidiarity, transparency and democratic accountability so that the new EU budget maximizes the added value of the taxpayers' money in the pursuit of the common goals of the EU and its Member States.

Doctor Miracle part 2: The Congolese surgeon helping women recover from rape
By Joao Vitor Da Silva Marques & NBC's Richard Engel •et; last updated: 18/04/2019
Dr Denis Mukwege has operated thousands of women who have been rape victims -
Dr Denis Mukwege, also known as Dr Miracle, has operated on thousands of women who have been brutally raped and he knows the physical wounds are only 'half the battle'.
At Panzi hospital in Bukavu - which he founded 30 years ago in the Democratic Republic of Congo - Doctor Miracle keeps his fight alive against sexual violence.
In an interview with NBC News' Richard Engel, Mukwege said "All of these women who are coming here, they have a very deep trauma and you can't help them physically without taking care of their psychological state. We need really to help them to be able to reintegrate their community and restart their life even if they went through terrible things".
Mukwege thinks that rape victims are the strongest women out of them all. He recounts seeing 'the skinniest women who maybe eat like twice a week, but can carry like 200 pounds' and reckons their pain after being raped could transform their lives.
He talks about being frightened to leave his hospital compound after an attack by an armed gang. "People with guns we're waiting for me at my house. And when I just entering in my home they start to shoot and I'm so sorry that one of my staff were killed at this moment and this was a terrible thing that happened in my life".

Stephen Keshi Applies For Burkina Faso Coaching Job
Nigerians Abroad: A Brilliant Start To The Year For Super Eagles Stars
by Jimoh Lawal
Like we all know Stephen Keshi has been out of contract as Super Eagles coach. Because of this contract "wahala" Stephen Keshi has signified is interest to coach the National team of Burkina Faso among with a group of well-known coaches also. According to the country FA president Colonel Sita Sangare.
Keshi, alongside Claude Le Roy, Alan Giresse, Gernort Rohr and Jacques Satini are all in the frame to replace Paul Put who was fired five days ago, after a poor cup of Nations outing in Equatorial Guinea, where they failed woefully compared to 2013 were they where runners up.
The 2013 AFCON runners-up only managed a single point in Group A, losing 0-2 to Gabon, before securing a goalless draw against Equatorial Guinea, and suffering another 1-2 defeat to Congo.
FA president Sita Sangare confirmed that a three man shortlist will be announced on Monday, 16th of February 2015, amidst reports former coach Paul Duarte is most likely to land the job.
However Keshi, who rejected claims by the Nigeria Football Federation that he has been offered a new deal to continue in his role as Super Eagles coach, has twice failed to secure coaching roles on the African continent, with South Africa and later Equatorial Guinea snubbing him.

Way out in the remote Pacific on a tiny slash of land stands an astonishing array of monumental, multi-ton statues gazing out over a barren landscape. Why are they there and who were the people who were sufficiently sophisticated to have created them? What do the monoliths tell us, and how did they get from the inland quarry where they were carved to the coastal perches where they loom over the vacant horizon? Was the sparsely populated land the Europeans first encountered in 1722 a textbook case of eco-suicide, the self-inflicted collapse of a culture brought on by the unsustainable magnitude of its demands on the environment? .
Hunt and Lipo began their archaeological studies on the island in 2001. The Statues That Walked discusses the archaeological discoveries they made and incorporates the findings of others to reach compelling new conclusions about the history of the island and its inhabitants and the world-famous figures. Moreover, we learn how the Easter Islanders met the environmental challenges they faced, increased their agricultural productivity, and managed to achieve a sustainable environmental balance of. Are there lessons for the contemporary world to glean?
Our first meeting of the fall season, on September 14, was extremely pleasurable as well as instructive. The book generated a great deal of discussion, and we shared some maps and copies of photographs from Smithsonian Magazine and other print media. The rebuilding of the libraries and mosques in Timbuktu is still continuing apace– apparently the reconstruction program is a somewhat of a priority with UNESCO and numerous European foundations. Alas, kidnappings by radical Islamic groups in northern Mali still take place, too, with deaths incurred. So this story is ongoing.
The book for November 16 will be The Mummy Congress: Science, Obsession, and the Everlasting Dead by Heather Pringle. Those who finish reading The Statues That Walked early may want to get started on The Mummy Congress in order to free the book up for others subsequently. There are only 8 copies of The Mummy Congress in the Westchester Public Library. If all copies are in circulation in November and you email me, I can get additional copies elsewhere.


This was one of my last photo shoot before Will was born which already seems like a lifetime ago, Its like he has been around for ever. Luckily enough for me Brooke and I have known each other for ages so we had a lot of Laughs waddling around together getting these photos. However Brooke may of been a little more uncomfortable than me considering she was filled with two beautiful babies. Being Pregnant can be hard work but i thing brook did a pretty good job of making it look Gorgeous….. even if she didn't feel it at the time!

The story I most want to tell right now is about Andrew, my son. He lives in Washington now, he's a surgeon, but I miss him, and I'm getting too old to travel. I don't know what that means for us. I came here from Iran in the 80's and I married Bill when I was so young, and Andrew is my oldest, so I think it is natural to miss him so much. He has a wife and children now, so in that sense I know that he has made it, that he made the American dream I came here for, but I still feel sad so much. Four of our bedrooms are empty, and I feel like I fill them with worry. I do have Bill, and your grandma, and the women's club, and church, but sometimes all of that feels empty.
The other day Andrew flew down to visit me, and he left his family up in Seattle, and when he got here all he did was complain. About how I haven't changed his room at all, about how the house looks the same, about how the house should be safer for Bill and I. And I couldn't believe that he would fly down just to spend the whole time complaining, and I thought he was being so ungrateful. He comes down once every couple of years, but it's mostly Bill and I flying up to go see him. I thought it was because that was most convenient for him, but maybe he's ashamed of me? He grew up here, so I don't know what to do. What do you do when the child you raised is ashamed of you? It's all I've been thinking about for the last couple of days. He left early, he took and early flight back last week, and he hasn't called since. It's all I've been thinking about for the past couple of days.
Bill and I had a life before him, and we still have a life now, but it is so different. He's so different. And I love him to pieces and he's an excellent surgeon, but I can't help but be a little disappointed. I don't know where the time went.

Q: Display time passed since most recent database DateTime and increment every second passed I have a database that stores the DateTime at which time a new book was entered into the system. In Xamarin.Forms, I wish to display the time difference in HH:MM:SS since the most recent DateTime in the database.
Currently, a label displays the time difference (HH:MM:SS:MS) but does not increment. The time difference displayed should increase by one second for each second that there is no new book entered.
I was thinking of using a loop to call the CalculateTimeDifference() function every second, but I was wondering if there might be a more efficient solution.
MainPage.xaml:
<StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalOptions="Center">
       <Label x:Name="labelTimeSince" Text="00:00:00" VerticalOptions="Center"/>
       <Button Text="Add New" x:Name="BtnAdd" Clicked="BtnAdd_Clicked"></Button>
</StackLayout>

MainPage.cs:
protected override void OnAppearing()
{
     base.OnAppearing();
     CalculateTimeDifference();
}

void BtnAdd_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      Book book = new Book
      {
          BookSaveTime = DateTime.Now
      };
      App.Database.SaveBook(book);

      CalculateTimeDifference();
}

void CalculateTimeDifference()
{
       var latestBook = App.Database.GetRecentBookDate().FirstOrDefault();
       var timeDifference = DateTime.Now - latestBook.BookSaveTime;
       this.labelTimeSince.Text = timeDifference.ToString();
}

Database.cs:
public int SaveBook(Book book)
{
      return database.Insert(book);
}

public List<Book> GetRecentBookDate()
{
      return database.Query<Book>("SELECT * FROM Book ORDER BY BookSaveTime DESC LIMIT 1;");
}

Book.cs:
public class Book: INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    [PrimaryKey, AutoIncrement]
    public int ID { get; set; }
    private DateTime bookSaveTime;
    public DateTime BookSaveTime
    {
        get
        {
            return bookSaveTime;
        }
        set
        {
            if (bookSaveTime != value)
            {
                bookSaveTime= value;
                OnPropertyChanged("BookSaveTime");
            }
        }
    }
}

How can I do the following:

*

*Format how the time difference in displayed (HH:MM:SS - with no milliseconds).

*Continually increment the time difference by one second every second while no new Book is stored

A: You could use Device.StartTimer:
MainPage.cs:
private Book latestBook;

protected override void OnAppearing()
{
     base.OnAppearing();
     latestBook = App.Database.GetRecentBookDate().FirstOrDefault();
     Device.StartTimer(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), () =>
     {
         // BeginInvokeOnMainThread is needed because CalculateTimeDifference deals
         // with user interface, which is allowed from main thread only
         Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() => CalculateTimeDifference());
         return true; // let the timer continue work
     });
}

void BtnAdd_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      Book book = new Book
      {
          BookSaveTime = DateTime.Now
      };
      App.Database.SaveBook(book);
      latestBook = book; // because the app is single-user, we don't need to ask
      // the database every time, just to store the book we added will be enough
}

void CalculateTimeDifference()
{
       if (latestBook == null) // no books were stored before
       {
          this.labelTimeSince.Text = "-";
       }
       else
       {
          var timeDifference = DateTime.Now - latestBook.BookSaveTime;
          this.labelTimeSince.Text = timeDifference.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
       }
}

London Man Gives His Grandmother An Emotional Surprise On Her 86th Birthday
Well done, sonny. Well done, indeed.
Eighty-six-year-old grandmother Iris Howard got the most fantastic surprise from her 22-year-old grandson David Goodings last month when he took the octogenarian on a very special drive.
Shortly after Howard gets into her grandson's car, Goodings begins to fiddle with the radio. As they drive off, a fake DJ — recorded earlier by Goodings — suddenly interrupts the "broadcast" and asks the audience to "please listen very, very carefully."
"Iris Howard is celebrating her birthday," the DJ says. "Commonly known for winning the Best Nan Competition after 10 years in a row, the 86-year-old is often described as an incredible person and loved by all her family."
At first, Howard is surprised, but Goodings was far from done.
After the DJ's announcement, recorded birthday wishes from Howard's friends and family begin pouring in with loving thoughts and sentiments.
After they get to the last one, Goodings smiles and regretfully tells the teary-eyed Howard, "I know you're close to your brother and he's in Australia ... and I tried to get him, we spent weeks trying to get hold of him ... but we couldn't do it."
Howard, who has regained her composure, seems perfectly content with her grandson's explanation.
Goodings suggests they try another radio station ... and, of course, suddenly Iris Howard hears her brother's voice saying, "Happy birthday, Liz."

Q: ndepend; get method's arguments How can I, using CQLINQ, get collection of input arguments for current method? There is any collection like "Arguments" or "Parameters" only "NbParamenter" which is not suitable for my purposes.

A: Indeed, CQLinq doesn't have this feature yet. However, in many cases you can compensate thanks to the fact that the properties ICodeElement.Name and IMember.FullName, for a IMethod, contain the coma separated list of names of the parameters types. For example here is the FullName of a method:
System.Windows.Forms.Control.BeginInvoke(Delegate,Object[])

and here is its Name:
BeginInvoke(Delegate,Object[])

Here is for example a CQLinq rule that harnesses parameters types names, to match event handlers methods:
// <Name>Event handler methods should be declared private</Name>
warnif count > 0
from m in Application.Methods where
  !m.IsPrivate &&

   // A method is considered as event handler if...
   m.NbParameters == 2 &&            // ...it has two parameters..
   m.Name.Contains("Object") &&    // ...of types Object...
   m.Name.Contains("EventArgs") && // ...and EventArgs

   // Discard special cases
  !m.ParentType.IsDelegate &&
  !m.IsGeneratedByCompiler

select new { m,m.Visibility }
// This rule implementation relies on the facts that:
// -> A method name contains the type of its parameters.
// -> All EventArgs derived types have the suffix "EventArgs".

An Artist A-Lister Bonaventure Gathering
Posted on February 18, 2020 by Shannon Scott
On average, almost 1000 cars a day drive into Bonaventure Cemetery. And largely the 1993 phenomenon of the novel, Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil made it so. Love it or hate it, there's no changing that. But even for those who disparate the fact, and at times with good reason, know that what got them in the door might be the book, but after that, Bonaventure does all of the rest on its own and gets the greater credit. It didn't hurt the place too badly either in the 19th century when naturalist John Muir slept for a week in Bonaventure in 1857, writing Camping Among The Tombs, later inspiring Oscar Wilde to do similarly for two nights, praising the place, "Incomparable."
Bonaventure Cemetery, Monument to Orsini Family by Antonio Aliffi
Flood family "Rock of Ages" statue in Savannah's Catholic Cemetery by Antonio Aliffi. The sculptor's daughter Grace was the model. This is the ONLY known signed monument by Aliffi in Savannah.
Even so, I wonder how many carriages, barges or train depot clients made a journey into Bonaventure in the sculptural heyday when the place was made famed as an international outdoor art museum by two sculptors who were great individually and then for around a 12 year period, as partners of sorts, John Walz and Antonio Aliffi. While it was a romantic place from the landscape observations of poets and writers before them, it would be the hours after Walz landed here in 1889 with "Little Gracie," and then Antonio Aliffi in 1910, that set the stage for the likes of "The Book" as Savannahians call it. Together they'd add over 200 monuments to Bonaventure alone never mind all of the other cemeteries nearby. Walz had previously unveiled The Silenced Drums of Gettysburg on the battlefield for The Pennsylvania 106th Infantry before coming to Savannah. Antonio Aliffi came from distinguished sculptors on The Isle of Siracusa and came here in search of The American Dream for himself. He worked on Mount Rushmore, Stone Mountain, The Lucas Theater and many other homes, public buildings and monuments. They both did really. Walz works extending even to Bulgaria. I will publish more about these gentlemen in the months to come as they're much to say, but know this, there'd be NO Bonaventure in the way that we think of it now, nor would I have a daily tour gig without the names WALZ & ALIFFI. Its that simple. They were the only academy trained sculptors that ever lived and breathed in Savannah and produced at levels that they did.

So you can imagine what an honor it was for me when arriving for a Private Tour, and discovering that artist and art teacher, Carmela Aliffi was aboard along with family and fellow creatives like iconic Savannah painter, Betsy Cain, author-journalist, Jane Fishman and then tour organizer, David Kaminsky long time owner of Savannah Color. Tagging along were some extended family from Miami & David's doggo Jasper.
The pressure was on! But in some sense Carmella, David, Betsy and Jane were old acquaintances and that made me somewhat at ease as I really hoped to show Carmela how we honored her grandfather as well as father, the son of the sculptor, Antonio W. Aliffi on our Bonaventure Cemetery Journeys' Tours and naturally learn something from her same time. We toured the old Greenwich Cemetery grounds first finally making our way around to the grave of Sebastiano Orsini and family. He and 6 brothers worked in the grocery business and ran The Savannah Macaroni Company. Generally monuments of important civic people were a matter of discussion between family, church leaders and sculptor. I shared my interpretation of The Broken Column half draped by The Curtain of Life, the meaning of the scrolls and possible lion carving as symbolizing symbolic of God's protection. Carmela who knew some of the people now buried there, including a grandson who'd just passed at 100 years of age, noted that Orsini may have been a member of The Order of The Sons of Italy In America as The Lion was part of the main emblem. She noted with some humor that the wife, Salvatrice Orsini was the 2nd wife and the sister of his first wife. And that when he proposed to her, she reluctantly agreed but needed him to know that she would wear black for the rest of her life — and she did! Incidentally, Carmela owns a gold painted plaster cast of a larger version of this lion carved by her grandfather.

Later we took the group photo at the plot of Carmela's parents, Antonio & Virginia. Her mother, is still living at 94 and according to Carmela is a "true redhead." Now and again I've met her mother sitting on the winged lion bench in the plot where Carmella is sitting for the photograph. Her father, one of the sculptor's nine sons, passed away in 2002. He was a passionate singer, charity volunteer and in the appliance business for 25 years. When I looked at the photo later I admit I gushed with some happiness and got a bit teary eyed for how special of a day it had been and that I'd been privy to it. I even flattered myself a bit to think one day long after my own life's end, the photo will be admired with special appreciation for all of the meaning of such a gathering of thinkers, artists and creative people and with a sculptor's spirit watching over.

As seen on HispanicBusiness.com, redistributed from the Washington Times.
U.S. President George Bush is urging the nation's Hispanics to make themselves heard in the debate on immigration.
Bush said senators who have been bombarded with calls from opponents also need to hear from those who support his immigration plan, the Washington Times reported.
"There's a lot of emotion on this issue, and it makes sense to have people from around the country come and sit down with members of Congress to talk rationally about the issue," Bush said Friday at the Hispanic Prayer Breakfast in Washington.
Bush spoke a day after the beleaguered bill was revived in the Senate.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., put the bill back on the Senate's schedule for next week, while Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., threatened to block any attempt to send the bill to an eventual House-Senate conference.
