Students postpone schooling for military duty
By Josh Dahlke
At first glance UW-River Falls may appear to be a quiet college community, seemingly detached from many of the global issues reported in the news, such as the war in Iraq.
In actuality UWRF is no stranger to the war, and some students are getting ready to fulfill their duties as members of the U.S. armed forces, while others have already stared war in the face.
Off to war
Chris Aeschliman, a 19-year-old freshman and member of the National Guard, is one student preparing to make his first appearance at an unknown destination overseas.
Aeschliman said that currently there are only rumors circulating about where his unit will end up, but he expects it will be somewhere in Iraq.
"It's never set in stone until we actually get where we're going," he said. "That's the way the military is."
Aeschliman enlisted in the National Guard on Nov. 5, 2004. He is part of Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry out of Menomonie, Wis.
Aeschliman will attend basic training in June at Camp Shelby in Mississippi, and in August he is expected to have boots on ground, meaning he will be deployed and on the ground by then.
His mother and father both serve in the National Guard. He said his father has already been to Iraq and has a good understanding of what it is like there.
Aeschliman said he thought it would be a good idea to enlist in the National Guard because of his parents' involvement and the economic benefits that will help him pay for college.
Students in the U.S. armed forces receive a variety of benefits to help pay for school, including the Montgomery GI Bill, the Armed Forces Tuition Assistance Program and the Student Loan Repayment Program.
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the GI Bill is designed to provide eligible veterans with up to 36 months of benefits for college, job training, entrepreneurship training and other forms of education. For veterans to be eligible, they must meet certain requirements as outlined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
According to military.com, the tuition assistance program is "a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. Congress has given each service the ability to pay up to 100 percent for the tuition expenses of its members." As with the GI Bill, the tuition assistance program has certain eligibility requirements and an application process.
The loan repayment program is similar to the tuition assistance program, but the army will pay up to $65,000 of a soldier's qualifying student loans.
Aeschliman said he expected and was hoping to go to war when he signed up. The 105th Calvary of Wausau, Wis., didn't have enough men so he volunteered in an effort to be deployed sooner.
"I just want to see the Middle East," he said.
Aeschliman said he is aware of the dangers he will face if he ends up in Iraq.
"You're going into a combat zone," he said. "Even though it's different fighting than 50 years ago, it's still a combat zone. You're going to be shot at and you're going to have to return fire."
Aeschliman said he has a life insurance plan which would provide his family with $400,000 if the worst were to occur.
He said he knows his family, especially his mother, is concerned. Statistics warrant their concerns, as the possibility of injury or death is evident in any war.
According to the Iraq Coalition Casualties Web site, 23,417 U.S. military personnel have been wounded as of Feb. 3, and 3,149 have died as of Feb. 21.
Fortunately for two UWRF students, they are not included in those statistics.
David Till, 30, and Greg Anderson, 23, both veterans of the war in Iraq, carry with them a myriad of experiences that have changed their lives.
Till, a UWRF student and employee of Veterans Services, has been in the National Guard for 13 years. He is a staff sergeant in Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 128th Mounted Infantry out of River Falls.
Till enlisted on Aug. 12, 1994. He said at the time he didn't think he would go to war but he wanted a challenge. Like Aeschliman, Till said he knew the education benefits were plentiful.
He said the mission of the National Guard is to be the state quick reaction force for any emergency that would merit their involvement, and to train for wartime.
His training was about to pay off when, in November 2004, he was deployed to Samarra, Iraq, a town between Tikrit and Baghdad.
Just as Aeschliman will soon experience, Till was deployed with a company of which he is not a member: Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry out of Arcadia, Wis.
Till returned to the United States in November 2005, but for 12 months he said he called Samarra his home. Samarra is a place where on Feb. 22, there was a major bombing of a Shiite mosque, kicking off a war between the Sunnis and the Shiites.
Till said that particular mosque was where poor Muslims went if they couldn't afford to go to Mecca.
While in Samarra, Till said he worked with the people of Iraq.
"We got to see the difference of who you're fighting against and who you're fighting for," he said.
Till said he has no doubt that the United States went to war to help the Iraqi people, but others are skeptical.
"I don't understand why we're there in the first place," freshman Nick Kantola said. "They couldn't find chemical or biological weapons."
Till disagrees.
"Everyone gets caught up in the whole [weapons of mass destruction] thing, but the truth of the matter is we got Saddam Hussein out of power," Till said. "He's a bad, bad man."
Kantola said he does support the troops, regardless.
"If they want to be there, I'll support them being there," he said.
Till said he had many duties in Iraq. When he got to Samarra, there were only 20 Iraqi police officers, untrained. By the time he left the town, there were 800 trained officers.
He said he also did small things that made a big difference to the Iraqi citizens. He helped a family of eight get an air conditioner. He helped schools get simple things such as chairs and pencils. He gave children candy. He gave them things that he said many people take for granted.
"If you've never left the United States, you can't make a justification of what [Iraq] is," Till said. "These people don't even have a bank in Iraq."
Till is also well aware of the darker side of war, and he said he believes everyone is affected differently by the experience.
Some people go to war and never hear a gunshot, while others are forced to feel the shadow of violence war can cast.
"When you peel dead human out of your boot, or when you see maimed bodies all over the place, that's a horrible thing to see," Till said.
Anderson, a longtime resident of River Falls and a junior in broad business marketing at UWRF, enlisted in the National Guard in March 2003. He became part of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry out of New Richmond, Wis.
"I felt obligated to do some sort of service for the country," Anderson said.
He also said he was bored with the normal college routine, and was curious about going to war.
Memories of war
In June 2003 he attended basic training for 16 weeks at Fort Benning, Ga. It was there he found out that his curiosity was to become a reality.
He said the captain of his training company called him into his office and told him to 'get ready because you're going to the sandbox.'
At that moment, Anderson said he felt "giddy and shocked," and he wondered how he was going to tell his mother and family.
Bravo Company had already been training to go to Iraq at Camp Shelby, Miss. Anderson said he had to complete basic training at Fort Benning before he could join them. After finishing basic training he joined his company at Camp Shelby, where he completed additional training, focused more on actual wartime situations.
On Nov. 21, 2004, Anderson flew out of Mississippi headed for Kuwait, where he and his company would prepare to enter Iraq.
"[Going to Iraq] was always in the back of my mind," Anderson said.
Anderson, along with the rest of Bravo Company got acclimated to the weather in Kuwait for a short time, and soon began their journey into Iraq. Some flew and some drove across the desert in a line of armored military vehicles known as a convoy. Anderson was part of the convoy, which took four hours. The company's destination was Forward Operating Base (FOB) Cobra, 80 miles east of Baghdad.
The mission of Anderson's company had several components.
They conducted routine foot patrols. They had observation points where they would sit in a "hot area" to make sure nobody was placing roadside bombs. They worked with city officials to build structure. They trained the Iraqi Army, and like Till, the police force. They participated in raids where they would burst into homes with guns at the ready, usually unannounced and at night, to look for any person or material that may have posed a threat.
"I was thinking a hundred different things in my head," Anderson said.
He said they found rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47s, bombs and bomb materials.
Anderson said he feels that when a person is faced with life-threatening situations, mental preparedness is key.
Raids and patrols required a lot of driving outside of FOB Cobra, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are common along roads in Iraq.
According to Globalsecurity.org, "An IED can be almost anything with any type of material and initiator. It is a 'homemade' device that is designed to cause death or injury by using explosives alone or in combination with toxic chemicals, biological toxins or radiological material."
Anderson's position was the gunner for a humvee, an armored all-terrain vehicle with a hole in the top known as a gunner hatch and a mounted machine gun.
Anderson said he would sit in what he called a "swing seat," fully exposed to potential dangers such as gunfire or IEDs. The driver would often yell at him to stay out of the hatch. Anderson said he knew the dangers of exposure.
"If we get hit by a roadside bomb, I don't want to feel it," he said.
Brush with death
One day while going out on a routine mission to check on a village, Anderson's fate was tested.
His convoy approached a bend no more than a mile from FOB Cobra. Someone aboard the first vehicle in the line saw a big potato sack, which Anderson said they thought was trash. Anderson's vehicle was no more than five meters from the potato sack when it exploded at a capacity that could be seen, heard and felt from FOB Cobra. The IED shattered the windshield and blew out a tire of his humvee. He said he quickly manned his gun, but could find no target.
"People were running everywhere," he said.
It was then he said he realized the shrapnel from the bomb had shredded the entire area around the gunner hatch, where he had been standing only seconds before.
"It really opened my eyes at, wow, I almost got murdered by someone," Anderson said.
On Oct. 25, 2005, after 11 months in Iraq, Anderson returned to River Falls, where he continues his education at UWRF.
Aeschliman prepares to depart, while Till and Anderson look back on their experiences in Iraq with an admitted sense of accomplishment and appreciation for life.
During his deployment in Iraq, Anderson took leave in Ireland for a short time with images of the desert and the war fresh in his mind. He said when he arrived, the aroma of green grass made him truly happy. He ripped a clump out of the ground and smelled it, feeling refreshed.

Le  (SRR) est une unité des forces spéciales des forces armées britanniques. Il a été fondé le  et fait partie des  (UKSF), sous le commandement du  (directeur des forces spéciales), aux côtés du  (SAS), du  (SBS) et du  (SFSG).

Le SRR a été constitué pour répondre à la demande d'une capacité de reconnaissance spéciale dégagée dans le nouveau chapitre de la Strategic Defense Review (SDR), l'équivalent du Livre blanc sur la Défense français. Le régiment effectue une large gamme d'activités classifiées relatives à la surveillance clandestine et à la reconnaissance.

Les personnels du SRR proviennent des unités existantes, et peuvent être recrutés parmi des volontaires servant dans toutes les unités des forces armées britanniques.

Création
Le ministère de la Défense britannique n'a pas pour habitude de commenter les informations sur ses forces spéciales, c'est pourquoi peu d'informations vérifiables existent dans le domaine public.
Le Special Reconnaissance Regiment conduit principalement des opérations de surveillance, qui ne se limitent pas au contre-terrorisme. Il a été constitué pour soulager de ces tâches le Special Air Service et le Special Boat Service, et comprendrait entre 100 et 300 personnels.

Selon les médias, le SRR est basé à Hereford, où réside également le Special Air Service. Le régiment a été créé pour répondre au besoin d'agents aptes à assurer des opérations clandestines de reconnaissance et de surveillance, en soutien d'opérations militaires dans le monde entier. C'est la seconde plus jeune unité des forces spéciales britanniques, sa création a été annoncée par le ministre de la défense Geoff Hoon en 2004.

L'unité a été formée autour d'un noyau d'agents de la 14 Intelligence Company, qui accomplissait des opérations similaires en Irlande du Nord contre les républicains irlandais et les loyalistes d'Ulster.

Opérations

La mort de Jean Charles de Menezes
Le , le lendemain des attentats du 21 juillet 2005 à Londres, Jean Charles de Menezes a été abattu par des officiers de police du métro londonien. Trois articles de journaux ont rapporté des déclarations de sources officielles anonymes, selon lesquelles des membres du SRR étaient impliqués dans l'opération de recueil de renseignement qui avait mené à la fusillade, et étaient présents à ce moment dans le métro. Le Sunday Times a publié une réponse partielle apportée par le ministère de la Défense.

Irak
Le , deux Britanniques ont été arrêtés par la police irakienne à Bassorah, et ont été libérés de force par des militaires britanniques. Les communiqués des médias rapportent des déclarations non attribuées, à propos d'une fusillade impliquant des personnels britanniques portant des habits civils locaux, indiqués comme étant deux membres du SRR.
Un des premiers communiqués de la BBC faisait état de la présence d'explosifs dans la voiture des deux hommes. En , le Sunday Mirror indiquait que le ministre de la Défense John Reid avait annoncé le lancement d'une enquête sur les rôles des forces spéciales au cours de cet incident, mais il n'avait pas autorité pour lancer une enquête.

Irlande du Nord
En , le Chief Constable (directeur du Service de police d'Irlande du Nord) Sir Hugh Orde informa le Policing Board (une sorte d'autorité administrative pour la police en Irlande du Nord) que le Special Reconnaissance Regiment avait été déployé en Irlande du Nord pour aider au recueil de renseignement sur les dissidents républicains de la RIRA.

Activists on social media said that the Bahraini Interior Ministry's security forces continued to take down on Tuesday (October 13, 2015) banners and flags for the Ashura season which the country's Shiite majority commemorates each year.
Some information stated that the security forces took down the Ashura banners in the villages of Shahrkan, Al-Malkiya, Sehla, Bu Quwah and Isa Town.
The Shiite majority in the island kingdom complains of discrimination practiced against them and marginalization, while human rights organizations say that the authorities since the eruption of widespread protests in 2011 led by the Shiite majority worked on restricting Shiite religious freedom.
The Bahraini authorities also demolished 38 Shiite mosques in 2011, according to a report by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI) appointed by the king, which documented as well as the systematic targeting of the Shiite sect on government media outlets and by security forces.

While many organizations are rushing to develop field service apps, many initially fail because they do not include critical features necessary to make field workers productive on a mobile device. This mobile inspection app showcases important mobile app features and an outstanding user experience now required in modern field service apps. Developers can modify or reference this app for their own mobile app projects.
Inspection Solutions is a mobile business app designed for field workers who need to inspect construction vehicles in the field. The app showcases critical features now required in many modern field services apps, such as offline capability, bar code scanning, voice annotation and digital ink. It is a native-quality hybrid app created using the Alpha Anywhere rapid mobile application development and deployment platform.
While targeted for use on an inexpensive tablet—in this case an 8" Android tablet from Acer—it works just as well on higher end Android models. In addition, while optimized for tablets, the Inspections Solutions app is responsive and can also work on smartphones.
After opening the app, users scan QR codes (using their device's camera) to look up properties about the vehicles they are scanning. A sheet of six QR codes for different types of vehicles is supplied with the app so users can walk through the user experience for different types of vehicles. Data about the vehicles are stored in a client-side data cache that comes with the application.
Users then see an intuitive interface optimized for a remote worker who must capture detailed inspection data using one-hand or finer. When the inspector finishes inspecting the construction vehicle, s/he signs the signature capture control and submits the record to be synchronized with the data source of the user's choice.
Please note: No backend data structure is provided. You can connect it to the data source of your choice, or it can be used as a learning tool to see how the interface was built.
All of the source code for the Inspection Solutions sample application is available on the Alpha Software GitHub account.
Instructions for getting and installing an Alpha Anwyere project from GitHub can be found here.
Want Help Customizing Your App?
Inspection Solutions was created using out-of-the-box Alpha Anywhere functionality and is easy to modify. If you like this app, but need assistance modifying it for your specific needs, the Alpha Software Consulting Services Group can help.

The 'Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian' host is spotted picking up a pair of brand new Yeezy sneakers at Kanye West's office in Calabasas.
AceShowbiz - Khloe Kardashian has been spotted for the first time since returning to Los Angeles with Tristan Thompson and their daughter True Thompson. The Good American Jeans founder was pictured leaving Kanye West's office in Calabasas on Monday afternoon, June 18.
In some photos obtained by Daily Mail, Khloe was seen walking into the office before coming out a few minutes later with a pair of brand new Yeezy sneakers in hand. Opting for a casual look, she wore a long-sleeved Good American shirt, tight black leggings and a pair of black-and-white slide-on slippers. She hid her waistline with a black windbreaker tied around her hips.
The "Revenge Body with Khloe Kardashian" host was smiling ear to ear after leaving the office, probably because of the sneakers. She walked to her car while sipping on her coffee, sporting sunglasses to cover her eyes from the sunlight. Her long, wavy locks were let down that day.
Khloe returned to Los Angeles on Father's Day after staying in Cleveland for months. She was greeted upon arrival with pink and white balloons, gifted by Kylie Jenner and her daughter Stormi. The blonde beauty also received a sweet treat of cookies that featured images of True's face along with a note that read, "Welcome home, we missed you!"
It's unclear whether Khloe will keep staying in Los Angeles or go back to Cleveland, but a source previously revealed that the mother-of-one planned to go back and forth between the two cities. "The plan for Khloe was always to travel with the baby back and forth between Cleveland and L.A.," the source told PEOPLE. "This is why she decorated two nurseries."
"She will spend a lot of time in L.A. this summer," the source added. "She is very excited. She misses her family and the every day activities they usually do together. She wants to be around her cousins as well."

I recently came across this wonderful post on The Thought Catalog site. Every word in this writing resonated with my own personal and professional beliefs. I feel it's worth sharing it here too. The post is written by someone else, and I fully credit that writer, but, as a mental health professional, I embrace fully what this writer is trying to say.
We see leaving something behind as a loss and a failure (a perceived one), but we forget that walking away is also a beginning of something new. Just because certain things are hard, it doesn't mean they are not right and not good for us. Embracing the duality of both a loss and a beginning helps to incorporate the whole experience while also moving forward.
The expectations we place on ourselves and obstacles are only insurmountable if we choose to see them in that way. There are always other choices we have in life that can lead to a better future. It's just a matter of what we want the most – being the best Self you always wanted to be or molding into your perceived boundaries and expectations.

Also be sure to have any relevant information that the employer may want from you to hand, including your telephone number, email address or details about your experience and availability.
They may wish to contact you at a later date so it might be useful to keep a notebook with details of the different roles you are applying for to avoid confusion.
You may also want to find out more about the job to ascertain that the position is suitable, for example finding out the number of hours or days a week you'd be expected to work. Be careful not to ask questions that have already been answered in the original job advertisement as this may call your attention to detail into question.
Rehearse your questions beforehand to ensure you come across clear, confident and concise as this is the first opportunity for the employer to assess your communication and language skills.
If you have been successful in your application you will be invited for an interview so again you must be prepared!

Q: Bound Silverlight Combobox not showing default value with EnumBinder My models use enums for fixed multiple selections. I'm using Dean Chalk's EnumBinder, found  at http://deanchalk.me.uk/post/Enumeration-Binding-In-Silverlight.aspx , to bind to a combo box. Everything seems to work great except the default value isn't shown. The selected index is -1, and it doesn't matter if I bind to SelectedItem or SelectedValue. The combobox works fine otherwise. I have no problems with default values with any other bound comboboxes.

Where Preferences.SortOrder is of type PeopleSortOptionsEnum, the converter is in my app.xaml as a converter for all enum types.
Anyone have any idea why it won't set the index to the currently selected value? I'm about to just throw some code in the codebehind to set the selectedindex to the currently selected value on load, but I feel so dirty just thinking about it.
Besides this issue, it works wonderfully, so thanks Dean!
Edit Adding the Preferences.SortOrder code:
public PeopleSortOptionsEnum SortOrder
{
  get { return sortOrder; }
  set
  {
    if (sortOrder != value)
    {
      sortOrder = value;
      PropertyHasChanged("SortOrder");
    }
  }
}

A: The issue is the Convert method on your enum converter class:
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter,
                        CultureInfo culture) {
    return (int)value;
}

When the combobox SelectedItem is gets the value from SortOrder it is return in Enum value which this converter is converting to an int. However, the combobox items is a collection of EnumContainer objects, not ints. So it fails to set the selected item.
To resolve the issue you have to do two things. First change your combobox bindings and set the SelectedValuePath:
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=AvailableSortOptions}"
          SelectedValue="{Binding Path=SortOrder, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource EnumConverter}}"
          SelectedValuePath="EnumOriginalValue"/>

Second you have to slightly modify the Convert method on your converter:
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
{
  return value;
}

Once I made those two changes it started working as expected.

Tuned to notes from the popular song.
This cheerful chime is tuned to the instantly recognizable notes from "Happy Birthday," the song most frequently sung in the English language. Written by sisters and elementary school educators Patty and Mildred Hill in 1893, the original words were "Good Morning to All." The tune was adapted to "Happy Birthday to You," and that is the version that is so popular today.
Makes a great gift for him or her, adults and children alike.

On the same day, an Ordinance for amending the Act was passed by the Cabinet and sent to the Governor of Uttar Pradesh for assent. However, the same did not receive the assent of the Governor.
(d) On 18.03.2012, another Ordinance on the same subject matter was sent for the assent of the Governor and after receiving the assent of the Governor, the same was published which came into effect from 22.03.2012. Under the said Ordinance, section 5(1) of the Act was amended and the term of the Lokayukta was extended to eight years with effect from 15.03.2012. ..."
"....However, we direct the State to take all endeavors for selecting the new incumbent for the office of Lokayukta and Up-Lokayuktas as per the provisions of the Act preferably within a period of six months from today. ..."
"...The Contempt petition is disposed of on the hope and expectation that the constitutional functionaries entrusted with the duty of making appointment of Lokayukta will finalize the matter and take their decision within a period of thirty days from today..."
4. The issues arising in the writ petitions were considered by this Court in an earlier round of exhaustive hearings. By order dated 23.04.2014, this Court, on consideration of the respective stands of the parties and by relying on the principles laid down in the decisions specifically referred to in the aforesaid order dated 23.04.2014, inter alia, held that there is no dispute that "primary cause of government advertisement is to use public funds to inform the public of their rights, obligations, and entitlements as well as to explain Government policies, programmes, services and initiatives." It was further held that only such government advertisements which do not fulfil the above requisites will fall foul of the area of permissible advertisements. This Court acknowledged the fact that the dividing line between permissible advertisements that are a part of government messaging and advertisements that are "politically motivated" may at times gets blurred. As the materials laid before the Court by the parties were found to be inadequate for the purpose of evolving what would be the best practices keeping in view the prevailing scenario in other jurisdictions across the globe, this Court felt the necessity of constituting a Committee consisting of (1) Prof. (Dr.) N.R. Madhava Menon, former Director, National Judicial Academy, Bhopal (2) Mr. T.K. Viswanathan, former Secretary General, Lok Sabha and (3) Mr. Ranjit Kumar, Senior Advocate to go into the matter and submit a report to the Court.
lfefr dh vuq'ka'kk vkSj ml ij dsUnz ds tokc dk fo'ys"k.k djrs gq, dksVZ us dgk ^^19. Insofar as Canada(Ontario) is concerned, it appears that the object of issuing a government advertisement is : (i) to inform the public of current or proposed government policies, programs or services available to them; (ii) to inform the public of their rights and responsibilities under the law and (iii) to encourage or discourage specific social behaviour in public interest. Such advertisements are not to include the name, voice or image of any functionary of the State and the primary objective of an advertisement ought not to be to foster a positive impression of the ruling government or a negative impression of any person, group or party critical of the government.
20. In some of the foreign jurisdictions there is a mechanism for review of advertisements on fixed parameters even before they are published and publication/ issuance thereof only upon passing of the required test. In Australia and United Kingdom, there is an added emphasis on the cost effectiveness of advertising campaigns.In Australia, advertising campaigns of more than a particular pecuniary value i.e. 1million Australian dollars require to undergo a cost benefit analysis wherein the best options to achieve the intended objective of the campaign has to be determined before launching the same.
21. The good practices adopted in other jurisdictions as noticed above do find adequate reflection in the recommendations of the Committee which further fortify our conviction to adopt the same.
22. This will require the Court to consider the different aspects of a government advertisement campaign highlighted earlier on which we have reserved our comments. The first is with regard to publication of photographs of functionaries of the State and political leaders alonwith the advertisement issued. There can be no manner of doubt that one government advertisement or the other coinciding with some event or occasion is published practically every day. Publication of the photograph of an individual be a State or party functionary not only has the tendency of associating that particular individual with either the achievement(s) sought to be highlighted or being the architect of the benefits in respect of which information is sought to be percolated. Alternatively, programmes/targets for the future as advertised carry the impression of being associated with the particular individual(s).Photographs, therefore, have the potential of developing the personality cult and the image of a one or a few individuals which is a direct antithesis of democratic functioning.
23. The legitimate and permissible object of an advertisement, as earlier discussed, can always be achieved without publication of the photograph of any particular functionary either in the State of a political party. We are, therefore, of the view that in departure to the views of the Committee which recommended permissibility of publication of the photographs of the President and Prime Minister of the country and Governor or Chief Minister of the State alongwith the advertisements, there should be an exception only in the case of the President, Prime Minister and Chief Justice of the country who may themselves decide the question. Advertisements issued to commemorate the anniversaries of acknowledged personalities like the father of the nation would of course carry the photograph of the departed leader.
24. Insofar as the recommendation with regard to the appointment of Ombudsman is concerned, we are of the view that for ironing out the creases that are bound to show from time to time in the implementation of the present directions and to oversee such implementation the government should constitute a three member body consisting of persons with unimpeachable neutrality and impartiality and who have excelled in their respective fields. We could have but we refrain from naming the specific persons and leave the said exercise to be performed by the Union Government.
25. Insofar as performance/special audit is concerned, we do not feel the necessity of any such special audit inasmuch as the machinery available is adequate to ensure due online casino's performance as well as accountability and proper utilization of public money.
26. If Government advertisements adhere to the objects and parameters mentioned above we do not feel the necessity of imposing a special curb on government advertisements on the eve of the elections, as suggested by the Committee.
27. In an earlier part of the present order we had indicated the power of the purse that Government advertisements invariably involve. Needless to say the concepts of fairness and even dispensation to all media/ publishing houses will have to be maintained by the Government be it at the Centre or the States.
28. We close the matters on the aforesaid note by approving and adopting the recommendations of the Committee except what has been specifically indicated above with regard to (1) publication of photographs of the Government functionaries and political leaders alongwith the advertisement(s). (2) appointment of an Ombudsman (3) the recommendation with regard to performance audit by each Ministry. (4) embargo on advertisements on the eve of the elections.
29. We also make it clear that the present directions issued under Article 142 of the Constitution cannot be comprehensive and there are several aspects of the matter which may have escaped our attention at this stage. In this regard, we would like to clarify that it is not the intention of the Court to attempt to lay down infallible and all comprehensive directions to cover the issue at hand. The gaps, if any, we are confident would be filled up by the executive arm of the government itself inasmuch as the attainment of constitutional goals and values enshrined in Part IV of the Constitution is the conjoint responsibility of the three organs of the State i.e. legislative, executive and the judiciary, as earlier discussed.
Considering present strength of 64 Judges against sanctioned strength of 160 the matter of appointment of Judges in the Hon'ble High Court has become a subject of serious concern for the members of Oudh Bar Association. The Executive committee of Oudh Bar Association deliberated on this issue in its meeting. In the interest of our judicial system it is felt imperative to make a demand for appointment of good number of Judges in the High Court against existing vacancies.

The deculturization of Afghanistan, best known in our time from the Taliban's devastation to the Buddhas of Bamiyan, has continued uninterrupted since 2001 through a sophisticated network of illegal excavations, the lucrative traffic in antiquities, urban development, and general neglect of the nation's heritage. Since 2002 there has also been an intense and steady effort by various donor nations and NGOs to preserve and document Afghanistan's built and intangible heritage. Since 2002 the United States contributed more than $25 million towards cultural preservation activities in Afghanistan. Projects cover a broad range of Afghanistan's rich and diverse heritage, including the restoration of historic sites and monuments across the country and the preservation, through documentation of intangible heritage traditions in poetry, music and artistic traditions in calligraphy and woodworking. A large part of this support has been directed towards the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul, the nation's primary repository of archaeological and ethnographic patrimony, which was severely damaged during the civil war in the 1990s with 70% of its collection looted, its catalogue burned, and many pieces destroyed under the Taliban's mandate of iconoclasm.

The Obama team eyes another nuclear gamble – The administration wants to revive a test ban treaty. (Politico)
Weeks after forging President Barack Obama's Iran deal, Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz are eager to move on to a daunting new challenge: persuading the Senate to reconsider the nuclear test ban treaty that it rejected in 1999.
Reviving the treaty — the first to fail in the Senate since the Treaty of Versailles after World War I — would be a huge step toward preventing the emergence of new nuclear weapons states and controlling nuclear outlaws, the two Cabinet members believe.
But the odds against the international pact may be even greater than what the Iran deal faced. The Republican-controlled Senate has few, if any, arms control advocates left. And it seems far more interested in depriving the president of another key victory than digesting new evidence that the U.S. doesn't even need to conduct test explosions of its nuclear arsenal — something it hasn't done since 1992.
Nonetheless, an unscripted moment Wednesday in a hallway at the Naval Heritage Center in the shadow of the Capitol demonstrated how much the nuclear pact is on Kerry's and Moniz's minds — and remains a goal of Obama, who made nuclear disarmament a key objective at the start of his presidency.
"Let's do it," Kerry told Moniz after they'd both delivered remarks to a gathering of nuclear weapons scientists and arms control gurus about the need for the United States to revisit the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.

Beth's Little Bake Shop Is Evanston's Cutest New Bakery
Its owner and namesake spent time in the pastry kitchens of Everest and the Four Seasons before turning to cupcakes.
By Penny Pollack and Graham Meyer
Chocolate crunch cupcakes at Beth's Little Bake Shop Photo: Julie Nash
Beth's Little Bake Shop (1814 Central St., Evanston, 224-999-7595) opened June 24 near the Central Street Metra stop, a long tee shot from Northwestern's Ryan Field.
Beth is Beth Welch, a pastry vet of Everest, the Four Seasons Chicago, and Owen & Engine. And little means little—two pastry cases, only 1,000 square feet. "Everything is baked in-house, fresh every morning," says Kate Noble, the manager and also Welch's sister. "Everything is sold out every day. Nothing is ever frozen." Welch makes breads, baguettes, bars, brownies, and, among things that don't start with B, two types of scones, four of croissants, and six each of macarons and cupcakes. On a recent day, the three cookies were chocolate chunk with Maldon sea salt, oatmeal–coconut–chocolate chip, and peanut butter cup.
Noble says she and Welch, fourth-generation Evanstonians, run the shop as a tribute to their grandmother Jackie, whose china, mixing bowls, sculptures, and original copies of The Joy of Cooking and Mastering the Art of French Cooking adorn the shop. Jackie taught Beth how to bake. In our experience reporting on food, grandmothers seem to have a huge influence on bakeries, just with 30 or 40 years' gestation.

[Appointments+] Do something with sub fields from submitted data.
When a user submits an appointment I wan't 2 functions do something with the data that the user submitted.
However I could NOT find any documentation on how to get user data for an appointment. Here is the code I wrote so far that executes after the appointment has been added to the database.
// Do something with data, like send it to SMS text provider!
How would i go about putting the user submitted data into variables?
What exact data you want to store and where (what I mean is: what tables/if there should be any relation to any other data, what would that be)?
I don't wan't to store any data! I wanna be able to use the data already stored when someone creates a booking.
Whenever wpmudev_appointments_insert_appointment is called I wan't an action to run that GETS the booking information such as name, date of booking, phone and e-mail and pass it to a method that does something with the data.
However i'm unsure how you get that data from only a booking idea WHICH i can read online is the only thing that wpmudev_appointments_insert_appointment returns.
// HOW DO I FILL THESE VARS WITH DATA FROM THE BOOKING ($app_id).
// IS get_post_meta THE RIGHT THING TO USE?
Thank you for additional explanation.
I misunderstood you at first but it's clear now.
With "wpmudev_appointments_insert_appointment" you get appointment ID only in return so you need to fetch the data "on your own" inside the callback function.
The plugin is using an "appointments_get_appointment($app_id)" function (which you'll find inside /includes/class--app-appointment.php file). Looking closer at this function shows that it basically is just fetching entire row from the database for the given ID.
Assuming that you db prefix is standard "wp_", you would wan to fetch a row of ID = $app_id from "wp_app_appointments" table. Take a look into database for the structure.
Then you can also get additional data from "wp_app_appointmentmeta" table but so far that mostly stores GDPR consent value, from what I can see. Most of the important data (such as e.g. username/ID, e-mail, service ID, worker - which is service provider - ID, start and end dates) you will fetch from that first table.
You can actually use standard WP routines to fetch data from the table, because all you need for that is the table name and an appointment ID - which is returned by "wpmudev_appointments_insert_appointment" and which is equal to the value of ID column in that table.

Gord and I had tickets to see John Prine this evening. Our friends, Malcolm and Mary, also had tickets. We met for supper beforehand at The Hot House Restaurant & Bar (Church Street/Front Street). It was a busy spot!
I ordered what I had when I was there last month ... Lasagna Al Forno. It was good ... even better than last time. Mary also had it and enjoyed too.
Gord ordered the Asian Stirfry with chicken. He said it was good but it was a big meal and he couldn't finish it.
Malcolm had the lunch size Wild Boar Bolognese (a slowly simmered rich bolognese of wild boar, fresh herbs, Roma tomatoes and Cabernet Sauvignon tossed with tagliatelle). He said it was good (he's had it before) ... Gord had pasta envy and said he'd get it next time.


glow kit – bare with me.
At the moment, these four products are my favorite illuminators. I'm always on the lookout for highlighters that will flatter my complexion because not all of them are suitable for all skin tones. Nars and Maybelline are my day ones. The other two are recent purchases that I've added to my collection. All of these products would work for women with darker skin tones.
When I first swatched ColourPop's Avalon on my forearm, I thought it was beautiful. It's a copper, cream-powder hybrid highlighter with warm orange to red undertones. It feels very satiny on the fingertips and has a pearlized finish, so when it catches the light it shifts from gold to pink. It also blends well. When I finally got around to wearing it on my face, I had mixed emotions. I was not expecting it to be so legit lol! The color payoff, texture and longevity for $8 are too boss and I was stunned, intimidated, impressed and confused. You see, it has a pearlized finish which means it's frosty/shiny which means a little goes a very long way. In my opinion, that's key for natural-looking makeup. So, be careful with pearlized illuminators because they have the shiniest finish. Eventually, I figured out how to work with Avalon so that it doesn't look intense and I'm not out in these streets looking cray. It works for me because when I tan in the summer, my skin undertone goes from warm/golden to red. Anyway, I use my fingers or a flat foundation brush to apply this highlighter. A brush helps produce a more sheer finish whereas your fingers provide the most coverage. So, if you're new to highlighters and want to try the ColourPop, a flat foundation brush or duo fibre brush will suffice to start. ColourPop also promotes the use of these tools on its site.
As far as the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Topaz, I use my fingers, foundation brush, powder brush or fan brush. Really, it just depends on my mood or what's within reach or how much coverage I want. I like the Becca highlighter, but I wasn't always fond of it. Becca's highlighter in Topaz has to be one of the most hyped highlighters ever, and once I tried it – my only reaction was "oh, okay" and not "slayyyyy." But, whatever. I'm not going to be fake. I use mine faithfully lol. I sometimes suffer from FOMO, so I had to buy it. I would describe this product as a golden, creamy-yet-light powder highlighter. It has the right amount of gold shimmer, but doesn't look like glitter. It's cute, long-wearing and feels like silk.
Maybelline Master Hi-Light Blush is my favorite drugstore product. It's actually an illuminating blush. So, you can skip the blush when using this because it's a two-in-one masterpiece! It offers a soft, luminous glow in any type of light. However, it's not as moist and silky like the ColourPop or Becca. The formula is actually a bit dry, which is not a deal breaker for me because the color payoff is exceptional for $9.99! Master Hi-Light is a sort of marble/mosaic of four shades of blush that gives you a warm flush of light when applied to your face with a brush. It doesn't have as much shimmer as the others and that's what I really like about it. There's a great balance due to the two matte blush shades it includes. I recommend using a brush for this particular product. It actually comes with a mini brush underneath the pan. I've never used it, though. By the end of the day, the color wears off, but I can still see a bit of a glow in the applicable areas. I have a tip for how to make it last longer. Keep reading.
Nars Illuminator in Laguna is a bronze illuminator. This will be your go-to if you're looking to achieve a true, natural glow. I repeat, if you want to go bare with just mascara and lip, this is a must-have item. It's truly the quintessence of Bare With Me. If I could have a mascot for this site, it would be the Nars Illuminator. It has a brown, creamy base with gold shimmer that provides a soft-and-sheer finish. This will not leave any kind of annoying cast including white or pearly ones. I like to mix it with my foundation/tinted moisturizer in the winter. It give me a very warm glow. Tip: Sometimes, I use it as a base highlighter teamed with Maybelline. I find that it helps the Maybelline Master Hi-Light last longer since it has something to adhere to.
A honorable mention is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit.
I only use Golden Bronze. Everything else looks like shimmering ash on me. Not cute. ABH describes it as a "sultry, warm bronze with a gold-flecked finish." I would describe it the same way. The palette will last a very long time as they are highly pigmented. Golden Bronze is intense, but also long-wearing and feels like velvet on my fingertips. I recommend swiping this on once with a brush and a light hand, if you want a more natural glow. I tend to use this for nightlife while I'm on vacation since it's so luminous. It's also very good for photo shoots.
That's me in the featured image wearing both Colour Pop and Becca (heyyyy!). You can watch a tutorial of how I use Colour Pop and Becca to achieve a natural-looking highlight here.
What are some of your favorite illuminators? Please share.


"A friend's uncle was showing us around his property and opened a barn door to reveal a '50 Ford 2-door sedan. It had 1963 plates, and he said it hadn't moved since then. The tires were all flat, but it was still off the ground so the body wasn't rotten. My friend's uncle said it belonged to his father and that he'd never even consider selling it."
Behind the first car was a 1949 Ford 2-Door in nearly the same excellent condition as the first!

Maradona 'did Newcastle a massive favour'
CHRIS HUGHTON has thanked the hand of God for helping to deliver Newcastle United a vital – and well-deserved – point against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Evening Chronicle
For Joe Kinnear's right-hand man insists that when Diego Maradona did not pick Fabricio Coloccini in his first Argentina side last week, he did United a huge favour.
Hughton travelled to Hampden Park last Wednesday night to give Coloccini and Jonas Gutierrez moral support as Argentina beat Scotland 1-0.
Gutierrez made the winning goal before joining Coloccini on the Argentinian bench.
And Hughton told me today: "In normal circumstances you are happy to see your players picked for their country, but on this occasion we were happy to see Fabricio on the bench.
"And we were just as happy when Jonas came off after about 70 minutes, so Diego Maradona did us a favour.
"In fact, by not playing Fabricio it meant he was fresh for us at Chelsea.
"I have to say I thought he was tremendous on Saturday, but so too were the rest of our players.
"Gutierrez probably created our best chance all game with that run and cross from the right in the first half."
Kinnear and Hughton put a lot of thought into Saturday's selection and tactics against the Premier League leaders, on a ground where United had not won for 22 years.
The United assistant boss added: "We went to Stamford Bridge with a plan, and the longer the game went without Chelsea scoring the more self- belief we got.
"We knew that if Chelsea had scored we would have had to come out more, and this would have played into their hands because it's what they are so good at.
"We stayed strong and disciplined and I thought we used the ball very well.
"The only regret is that we did not create many chances, but what opposing team does at Stamford Bridge?"
