But it is time to come back, refreshed and happy to be baking and cooking and giving some awesome AF recipes. And this ribollita is the perfect thing to come back for…it is f'ing amazing. Since winter is technically over – though we had a snow dusting over the weekend – and I may be wearing a tank top this weekend (it is supposed to be 70 on Sunday), keep this in your mind for those few straggling cold days left hanging around.
I first had ribollita – god, like 15 years ago, how can that be that long – in Florence Italy…and I had four bowls of it. It is kind of like a a baby soups made from pasta e fagioli and minestrone. A meatless (hellllooooo perfect Lenten Friday dinner) soup, and full of toasted stale bread making it thick and like a vegetable stew. This is a carb heavy dish, but who f'ing cares!! The bread is the best part! Sometimes you need a damn carb – period.
In your biggest dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot heat the olive oil. Add celery, green beans, red peppers garlic, carrot, and onion. Salt them a bit and cook for about 15 minutes sweating the vegetables, but try not to brown them. Add the tomato paste and cook for about four more minutes. Stir in the crushed and diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes, and simmer for another 10 minutes or so, long enough for the tomatoes to thicken up a bit. Stir in the kale and the chard (or whatever greens you use), the beans, the six cups of stock and two cups of water. Add additional salt to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the greens are wilted and softened, about 25 minutes.
Stir both the cannellini beans and the toasted bread into the soup. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the bread breaks down and the soup thickens, about a half hour. Stir in the salt, taste and add more if it needs it - a little at a time. Takes time and tasting but def worth it, once you overdo it, you just have soup everyone will describe as salty. Stir in the lemon zest.
Serve this warm, drizzled with olive oil.
This will hold in the fridge for a few days, also, just gently rewarm on the stove - not the microwave.
hearty goodness! I had some crusty gluten free bread I used, hit the spot!
Such simple ingredients but they make a colorful, hearty soup. This looks perfect!
Such a delicious and comforting soup! I love how you packed with it veggies and nutrients.
This is so lovely with the fresh produce flavors and creamy beans! My family will really love this!
What a great one bowl soup. I think I'd be full and oh so satisfies with just one bowl!
Delicious. LOVE all these veggies and the wholesome soup base. Plus the beans and red pepper, yum!!
I love an easy and healthy soup! This hits the mark!
That is one delicious bowl of soup full of healthy ingredients!
I love healthy, nourishing soups like this. Made this over the weekend and have frozen some to keep for later – great to keep on hand for busy weeknights!
I'm saving this recipe to make this weekend. It looks so good!

Tim Baker at the Commodore Ballroom
Published On: June 4, 2019 - 8:31 pm
Review – Tim Baker at the Commodore Ballroom, Vancouver, Jun 1 2019
– review by Julie Rankin
Whether with an artful turn of phrase, a well-placed drumbeat or the uplifting swell of a chorus, artist Tim Baker knows how to write a song that will speak to you one way or another. The St. John's musician performed a selection of these heartfelt tunes for an adoring crowd at the Commodore Ballroom as part of his North American tour.
The former lead singer of Hey Rosetta performed songs from his new album, Forever Overhead, as well as a few renditions of some Hey Rosetta favourites. Though the crowds greatest reactions were to classics like the 2011 single, "Welcome", they surprised Baker by singing along energetically to his new song, "Two Mirrors". The reception to this new song, that has yet to be released as a single, was enough to make Baker forget the words, twice.
Baker was joined on stage by bandmates Sam Gleason on guitar, Liam O'Neill on drums and Zach Bines on bass, with Nico Paulo providing support on vocals and percussion. Near to the end of his set, Baker invited a few additional friends to join him on stage.
Fans of the Vancouver music scene were treated to a surprise sing-along featuring members of Said the Whale and Yukon Blonde as well as Dan Mangan. The group joined together for "All Hands", the latest single from Baker's new album. An expression for 'everyone' in St. John's, "All Hands" was a fitting track for the supportive group. On stage with at least a few of his friends Baker sang, "All my hands are with me, yeah, and it's like a dream / Lovers and Kin, they all come back to me".
What would have been a fitting end to the evening, wasn't. Baker and his band performed another song to end their regular set before returning to the cheering crowd for an encore. Full of feeling after a sincere night of music and camaraderie, an ecstatic audience cheered for Baker long after his second exit.
Titus Calderbank opened the show with an enjoyable acoustic set. The local Vancouver musician performed a selection of folk-rock songs including his 2018 single "Mistakes". Charlotte Cornfield was up next. In her dry vocal style, she sang a selection of offbeat songs from her discography. The singer-songwriter played the electric guitar with some additional support from two of Baker's bandmates.

Q: Call Web Services from Windows Service I created a Web Service where I take data from a database and insert
them into a list of string type. This web service is called from a
Windows Service that receives the list and retrieving the data. To do
this I added the reference to the Windows Service, but I do not know
if I get the list from the Web Service correctly. This is the code of
the windows service:
    RicDati ricdati = new RicDati();
    var listas = ricdati.PrelevaDati().Count();
    List<string> lista = new List<string>();
    lista.AddRange(ricdati.PrelevaDati());

RicDati is the class of the Web Service, PrelevaDati is the name of the method

A: Before running it in a Service, run/debug the parts which are not service related in a console application.

*

*Create a library project of your business processes which the service will use, but also the console application. This will contain the call to the webservices.

*Test the process in the console without having the unknowns of a service.

*Once the processes are working then run it in the service.

A: I think is more a matter of debugging your windows service, sometimes this could be very difficult but ic an suggest a workarround.
Practically you need to create a console application or windows that practically is going to create and call a windows service instance without even intall it on your computar, this practically feels like you're debugging a normal windows application.
this is a project that uses a winform to debug win services I'm more into a consolo (because I feel it's easier), but the concept is the same so you can take a look.
enter link description here
the main code practically is the following:
using System.ServiceProcess;
using ServiceProcess.Helpers;
namespace DemoService
{
    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        static void Main()
        {
            ServiceBase[] ServicesToRun;

            ServicesToRun = new ServiceBase[]
            {
                new Service1()
            };

            //ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun);
            ServicesToRun.LoadServices();
        }
    }
}

Dire Wolves Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band at the Milwaukee Psych Festival on April 13, 2019 (evening show)
The only thing more amazing than Dire Wolves' music is the fact that their lineup is ever-shifting. While not quite the same thing as when Mark E Smith infamously made the point that he and only he was the sine qua non of the Fall ("If it's me and your granny playing bongos, then it's the Fall"), it's close.
Generally there is always Jeffrey Alexander on guitar and usually Brian Lucas on bass. For the last few years or so Sheila Bosco (drums) plus Taralie Peterson of Spires That in the Sunset Rise (vocals, sax and percussion) and Arjun Mendiratta (violin) have been mainstays of touring versions of the band while vocalists Lau Nau and Georgia Carbone have appeared on studio recordings. There have been plenty of memorable one-offs such as last February's performance at NYC's Union Pool with members of Elkhorn, Bardo Pond, and the Sunwatchers -- billed as Dire Wolves (Inspiration Family Band).
What makes each performance of Dire Wolves so special is a level of free-form improvisation which goes far beyond the category of "psychedelia" or "jam band" and dives right into "free jazz" territory (that's my favorite territory, in case anyone is keeping track at home).
However, I have yet to hear a piece by the Wolves which is not psychedelic or that wouldn't go over very well at a "jam band concert" as an opener for The Dead and Co. or Phish. Sometimes a piece will appear to just be completely improvised, but there is usually a certain sensibility which allows sections of increasingly interesting improvisation to exist within the structure of a pre-existing song.
For this show, my understanding is that the choice of a Pharaoh Sanders song ("Elevation" from Sanders 1974 live album of the same name for Impulse!/ABC records) was a last minute decision. If so it was both an inspired choice and a wakeup call for the partiers in the audience up front to stop talking to their friends and pay attention.
Alas, some people are beyond the point of being able to be woken up. Any show in Milwaukee where alcohol has been sold to people primarily interested in meeting people and talking about the Brewers' chances to win the pennant this year will stand as evidence as to why most bands' tours hop from Detroit to Chicago to Madison and Minneapolis. Most of the time the MPF crowd is better behaved, but at this point of the evening there were more than enough socialites around -- enough that Alexander felt the need to shame them for talking during a Pharaoh Sanders song.
At the time, when the band started, I thought they were going to begin playing John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" because the Brian's bass line was reminiscent of the beginning of that jazz masterpiece. After a few moments it was off into Dire Wolves space and I eventually recognized it as a Pharaoh Sanders song, even if I couldn't identify the exact song (as it happens, "Elevate" is one of the few Sanders albums I don't own).
This set was recorded with the feed from the Soundboard (thanks to Max) fed into my Sound Devices MixPre6 recorder. For some as-yet unidentified reason, probably entirely my fault, the feed from my pair of beyerdynamic MC 930 microphones set up 10 feet in the air on a lightstand next to the mixing board did not record despite there being four channels of signal being displayed on the recorder's screen during the show.
I wound up using an audience source recorded by "Atticus Binch" on what looked to me like a Nakamichi 550 cassette recorder. My taper friend Joel tells me he thinks this might be the owner of a record store in Bloomington, IL. This has not been independently confirmed. The audience source sounded like it was recorded in the front row amidst the talkers and was also rather saturated at certain points. I mixed it at a ratio (SBD:AUD) of 60:40 and used Audacity for compression and EQ. xAct was used to prepare ALAC and mp3 versions.
While not the transcendent audiophile masterpiece I always hope for (and rarely achieve), the final result is much better than I had dared to hope for the day after the festival when I discovered two channels of my recording missing.
Please see below for the SoundCloud stream:
Please support these fine artists and decent people by going to their shows, buying multiple copies of their merchandise (your friends need the music), and talking to them like they are real human beings after shows. If they don't mind.

We have agreed to a major partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts as part of our work on criminal justice reform. Good Ventures will provide $3 million to support and expand the work of Pew's public safety performance project (PSPP), which aims "to advance data-driven, fiscally sound policies and practices in the criminal and juvenile justice systems that protect public safety, hold offenders accountable, and control corrections costs" through technical assistance to states, research and public education, and promotion of nontraditional alliances and collaboration around smart criminal justice policies.
We came into contact with Pew through our investigation on criminal justice reform. Our impression is that PSPP has been intensively involved in the criminal justice reform packages that have passed in over two dozen states since 2007. PSPP now seeks more funding to work in additional states, help states to cement existing reforms, explore the potential for reform at the federal level, and continue pursuing research and public education and engaging with nontraditional allies of reform.
In discussions with Pew, we have been impressed with the knowledge and thoughtfulness both of the PSPP team and of The Pew Charitable Trusts as a whole. It appears to us that Pew has worked in a substantial number of policy areas, often with concrete goals and concrete stated results over several-year time frames, and that Pew has a good deal of general capacity for assessing the opportunities in a policy space and developing a relatively systematic strategy for working within it. (This does not mean that we see eye to eye with Pew on all matters. We believe it sets policy priorities using a different value system from ours; for example, we have stronger interest in foreign aid and other issues related to developing-world poverty reduction.) More information on Pew as a whole will be forthcoming, including notes from a day-long visit in November and a potential historical case study on its work in an another area. Our current writeup includes an assessment of the track record of PSPP specifically.
We are also interested in developing a relationship with Pew as a whole; we believe this relationship will be a valuable resource as we continue to explore policy-oriented philanthropy. Based on conversations with Pew representatives, we see supporting PSPP as one of the best ways to support Pew as a whole.
Finally, the process of establishing this partnership has itself been a valuable learning opportunity. With PSPP's help, we have conducted a brief review of PSPP's track record, which was our first attempt to assess the track record of a U.S.-policy-focused organization and taught us a fair amount about the criminal justice reform space. We have also dealt with new challenges around how to balance our goal of transparency with the goal of having maximal impact; when working on policy, there can be particular tension between these, and we have established an agreement regarding public discussion of PSPP that may serve as a guide to future grant agreements. Note that we have agreed to a review process for public updates that is likely to be time-consuming for both us and Pew, and accordingly we have agreed to limit the frequency with which we publish updates on the project.
Our full writeup has further discussion of PSPP, its track record, our cost-effectiveness estimate, and the case for (and details of) this collaboration.
Writeup on our partnership with PSPPNote that we believe PSPP has room to productively use more than the $3 million Good Ventures will be providing. Donors interested in contributing to PSPP should contact us.


The National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit institution honoring exceptional U.S. athletes of Italian descent. In 1977 George Randazzo created the Italian American Boxing Hall of Fame. This was as a means for raising money for local Catholic youth programs. After a successful year and dinner honoring 23 former Italian American boxing champions, Randazzo created the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame. The original location was in Elmwood Park, Illinois. The first induction ceremony honored Lou Ambers, Eddie Arcaro, Charley Trippi, Gino Marchetti, Dom DiMaggio, Joe DiMaggio, and Vince Lombardi. Since its founding in 1978, more than 230 Italian Americans have been inducted into this hall of fame.
A 44,000-square-foot (4,000 m²) building for the Hall of Fame and museum is on Taylor Street in the heart of Chicago's "Little Italy".
In the years that followed, celebrities from all walks of life have come to the annual induction ceremonies to pay tribute to outstanding Italian American sports champions and heroes. An uninvited guest took part in the 1980 induction ceremony: President Jimmy Carter offered his congratulations and addressed the crowd. In 1988 the Hall of Fame moved its headquarters from Elmwood Park to Arlington Heights.
The NIASHF enjoyed a new beginning in 1998 with the help of Phoenix Suns Chairman/CEO Jerry Colangelo. A 1994 Inductee and Chicago Heights native, Colangelo was asked by Randazzo to serve as Chairman of an ambitious new Hall of Fame building project in the heart of Chicago's Little Italy. Colangelo accepted, and has succeeded in bringing together civic-minded men and women from across the country in support of the project. In 2000 the new facility was dedicated as "The Jerry Colangelo Center," a tribute to his efforts and leadership. There are over 230 Inductees enshrined in the NIASHF.
The Grand Piazza is located on the third floor of the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame. This banquet and dining area features an adjacent outdoor terrace and banquet space with a commercial kitchen, an event space used corporate luncheons, dinner meetings, weddings, or any sit-down reception of up to 300 guests. The Rooftop Terrace is located on the fourth floor of the Hall of Fame, and overlooks the city of Chicago.

Bancroft Lane is the gateway to our community! Unfortunately, like so many, our eight Ash trees have been affected by the emerald ash borer.
Arborists on several occasions have told us the damage is irreparable. After initial infestation, ash trees are expected to die within 10 years without control measures. While our ash trees have been treated, they have been severely damaged and all will be lost. It is only a matter of time.
The cost of treatment is expensive and if done improperly, ineffective.
At its March 2018 meeting, the Bancroft City Commission approved the addition of flowering cherry trees and at least five trees that will become the future canopy (20 trees planted). The Ash trees are mostly clustered around the subdivision side of Bancroft Lane. In addition, city commissioners approved a maintenance plan for the remaining 59 trees.
The city is working with an arborist to develop a long-range plan to not only replace the ash trees but to enhance the natural beauty of Bancroft Lane. The plan is NOT to just replace the ash trees or to limp along and allow the trees to become a hazard. The city commission is hoping to increase the variety trees and build on the beauty of remaining 58 trees that call Bancroft Lane home.
Adding some flowering trees will give us a nice splash of color in the Spring. Replacing the ash trees with those that will become the future canopy is a priority. The plan is to add 10-20 trees in the first round of planting and 10 more trees in subsequent phases until we have proper spacing, variety, and coverage. Then we will stop and go into maintenance mode.
For years, Bancroft Lane has been well cared for and a priority of our community. Those now entrusted with the responsibility wish to see it preserved, maintained in fiscally responsible manner, and to maintain its unique charm.

Amitabh Bachchan Reveals That He Often Buys Gajra for Jaya Bachchan; Says 'She Even Ties It To Her Saree'
In the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 14, Amitabh Bachchan invited Megha Bathwal, a Media Planner from Chennai, to the hot seat after she won the Fastest Finger First round. Mr Bachchan, the host of the show compliments Megha's hair and mentions the traditional Gajra she was wearing. The participant promptly asks Big B whether he buys gajra for his wife Jaya Bachchan and granddaughter Aaradhya.
"Yes, quite often, Jaya also used to tie the gajra to her saree for the fragrance," the veteran actor responded. He adds that he frequently buys them in bulk from local vendors to ensure that they are compensated fairly for their hard work.
Amitabh Bachchan began the show by discussing some fascinating monuments in India. He asserts that temples in India are more rooted and leaner deeper than the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He gave the example of the Ratneshwar Temple of Lord Shiva in Varanasi.
Meanwhile, the contestant went on to finish the game with Rs 3,20,000 prize money after getting the 11th answer wrong.
Amitabh Bachchan-hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati season 14 airs on Sony TV. Big B has hosted the game show since its inception in 2000, with the exception of the third season, which was presented by Shah Rukh Khan.
Talking about Amitabh Bachchan's films, he was recently seen in director Sooraj Barjatya's Uunchaai. The plot of the film revolved around a group of friends, in their 60s, who decide to go on an Mt Everest trek to fulfil the last wish of one of their friends. Apart from Big B, the film features Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta, Parineeti Chopra and others in key roles.
News18's review of the film gave Uunchai a 3.5 out of four stars. The film breaks the shackles of how elderly people are usually portrayed in Bollywood films and emerges as a winner with its innocence and simplicity in the storytelling.

Donations for Little Leopards will be held until Feb 15.
The Work-Based Learning program is sponsoring a toy drive to benefit Little Leopards, the daycare program for children of district employees. Donations are accepted at any district campus or the administration building until Feb. 15.
The high school donation box is located in the commons near the nurse's office. The daycare asks for play food, outside toys, musical toys, books, Legos, K'nex, Kinetic Sand, sports balls, dolls, dollhouses and Shopkins–donated toys can be new or gently-used.
"I think it will be a great way to help give [the Little Leopards] some new and gently-used toys," Principal Chris Mayfield said.
The Work-Based Learning program is a collection of classes meant to prepare students for entering the workforce. In Occupation Prep 2, students perform jobs such as delivering mail in the teacher mailroom, packing condiment bags for Chick-fil-A and sanitizing toys for Little Leopards.
"I think the toy drive will benefit Little Leopards because some kids will feel more comfortable with toys around in a strange place," freshman Daniela Angarita said.
In the district there are Little Leopards locations at both Puster and Hart Elementaries. Little Leopards Puster is a pre-Kindergarten program, while Little Leopards Hart is exclusively for the children of district employees. Little Leopards is limited to children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old.

Luxury giant Hermes made record profit in 2012
BY AFP22 March 2013 11:50 PM GMT
AFP22 March 2013 11:50 PM GMT
Luxury fashion group Hermes, known for silk scarves and handbags, reported on Thursday a record profit for 2012, confirming a stellar performance for France's luxury industry as a whole last year.
Net profit last year soared 24.5 per cent to 740 million euros ($954 million), well above an analyst expectation of between 710 to 720 million euros.
Operating profit during the 12-month period rose by 26.4 per cent to 1.12 billion euros when analysts had been expecting 1.09 million.
The company's operating margin ended the year at 32.1 per cent and was the highest since Hermes, founded in 1837, went public in 1993.
In February Hermes, whick makes the signature Kelly and Birkin bags, reported a 22.6-per cent rise in sales last year to 3.48 billion euros ($4.66 billion). The sales figure exceeded expectations by analysts who had foreseen a figure of about 3.42 billion euros.
Sales were boosted by activity in Asia where the company does most of its business and where it opened two new outlets, one in Taiwan and one in China. Hermes also enlarged six other outlets.Sales in Asia rose by 28.6 per cent and, excluding Japan, they rose by 36.2 per cent, notably owing to demand in China.In America, where the sales network was increased, sales rose by 22.5 per cent.The company said that it was optimistic about the outlook for 2013 but did not make any forecasts.Sales at the company have doubled since 2008.
Last month, French luxury rivals LVMH and PPR also posted bumper profits for 2012.Hermes and LVMH are locked in a bitter legal battle.
Since 2010, LVMH has slowly built up its stake in Hermes, despite bitter protests by the still family-dominated company.By the end of May 2012, the LVMH share of Hermes stood at 22 per cent.
Resisting what it calls a hostile takeover by LVMH, Hermes has filed a legal complaint over the LVMH share-buying spree.LVMH owns a stable of luxury companies including Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Moet and Chandon champagne.
FRENCH ECONOMY NUDGES RECESSION
French business activity contracted at its sharpest rate since 2009 amid a deep confidence crisis for companies in an economy skirting close to recession, according to data released by survey firm Markit on Thursday. Private sector activity from purchasing managers, an important leading indicator of economic momentum, came in at 42.1, down from 43.1 in February and lower than a previous estimate of 42.3.
The result brought France even further from the 50 point mark that separates an economy from expansionary and recessionary trends. 'It is difficult to find any crumbs of comfort among the data, with new orders and backlogs both declining at sharper rates and employment cuts continuing,' said Markit Senior Economist Jack Kennedy.


Court hears Co Tyrone man involved in road rage incident told his victim "he would drink his blood"
A CO Tyrone man who is appealing his sentence over a road rage incident told his victim "he would drink his blood", a court heard yesterday.
Charles Ward (24) of Gortview Park, Coalisland, had denied charges of careless driving, assault and criminal damage but failed to turn up for a contested hearing at Dungannon Magistrates Court.
After a Bench Warrant was issued for his arrest and he appeared before a judge who imposed a term of six month jail sentence along with a two year driving ban.
He was granted bail to appeal both conviction and sentence but an application to drive in the meantime was refused.
The case came before Dungannon County Court yesterday where it transpired Ward now accepted the convictions and sought only to appeal the sentence, but made a further attempt to have the disqualification suspended in the interim.
A prosecuting lawyer told Judge Stephen Fowler QC, that the victim and his wife were travelling toward Coalisland on 29 July last year when they became aware of a white van travelling at speed in the inside lane which forced them to swerve.
They stopped at traffic lights behind the van being driven by Ward and the victim used his phone to photograph the registration.
Returning to his car, the victim described Ward punching and kicking his door and window several times before driving off.
Judge Fowler noted Ward is currently partway through a period of deferred sentence at Downpatrick Crown Court for other matters, and felt it would be inconsistent to proceed prior to this concluding in around three months time.
The defence accepted the driving was an aggravating factor, but pointed out Ward's partner is due to give birth just before Christmas.
Judge Fowler replied: "Given his atrocious behaviour, the real issue is whether prison will be immediate or suspended. As far as I'm concerned, the disqualification is toward the lower end of what I would impose in a road-rage incident.
Remanding Ward on existing bail the judge said he would remain banned from driving. The appeal against sentence will be decided in February.


Dr. Pickart offers treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome to the residents of Ventura, Camarillo, and the surrounding areas of California.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a compression of the median nerve at the wrist. The pinching of the nerve can lead to numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand.
The carpal tunnel is a space in the wrist. The floor and sides of the tunnel are formed by eight wrist bones, known as the carpal bones. The roof of the tunnel is the transverse carpal ligament.
Through the tunnel run nine tendons and the median nerve. The nerve provides signals to the muscles at the base of the thumb and provides sensation to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger.
Carpal tunnel syndrome results from tendonitis in the nine tendons within the carpal tunnel. Inflamed tendons become swollen, which then compress the median nerve.
A variety of disorders can cause that tendonitis.
Interestingly, most research studies have demonstrated that keyboarding is not a cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. Unless you use a lot of heavy, vibrating tools, your activities are probably not the root cause of your nerve compression.
Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are not immediately obvious but usually start gradually. In most sufferers, symptoms are more pronounced along the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and ring finger. Symptoms can be aggravated when the patient drives or uses the phone. Carpal tunnel syndrome, as it progresses, can make it difficult for you to do simple tasks such as buttoning a shirt.
Non-surgical options, such as splints, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), and corticosteroid injections, are sometimes helpful. Surgery is indicated when non-operative measures have failed.
A carpal tunnel release is an outpatient procedure. Depending upon your comfort level, you may not even require an IV.
The palm is always locally anesthetized. Then, a small incision is made, so that the transverse carpal ligament can be separated. By cutting the roof of the tunnel, there is more room for the nerve. The compression is thus relieved. Dissolvable sutures are placed, and the hand is wrapped in a soft dressing.
Patients who undergo wrist surgery on the carpal tunnel usually are advised to elevate the affected hand and to move the fingers, in order to lessen any swelling or stiffness. The surgeon will evaluate you one or two weeks after surgery to confirm that you are healing appropriately.
Then, you can begin to use your hand in your normal, everyday routine. However, you will still need to take care to prevent any kind of discomfort. Soreness in the palm is typical for up to six months after the procedure.
How Much Does Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Cost in Ventura?
Usually, the surgical and non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome are covered by your insurance company. Pickart Plastic Surgery currently works with most insurance carriers to ensure that patients can receive high quality treatment. Dr. Pickart also offers CareCredit® to provide financing option for patients.

Former Lee Kuan Yew School dean Kishore Mahbubani is working on a new research project at Harvard University while on sabbatical.
He has joined the Harvard Kennedy School Ash Centre for Democratic Governance and Innovation as a senior visiting scholar, and will look at relations between the United States and China, the centre said in a statement yesterday.
Professor Mahbubani's five-week appointment at the US university began last month. The 69-year-old stepped down as dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) on Dec 31 last year.
He is on a nine-month sabbatical and remains a senior adviser and professor at the National University of Singapore. His sabbatical schedule includes time at several universities. He has already spent six weeks at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, and will be at Fudan University in Shanghai for two months, to glean "the China perspective on US-China relations", he told The Straits Times.
He will be in Singapore to launch his latest book, Has The West Lost It?: A Provocation, on May 14.
Speaking on the telephone from London where he is launching the book this week, he said his main goal during the sabbatical is to do research for his planned book on US-China relations.
"This is going to be the most important geopolitical relationship for the next few decades," he said.
Before becoming the founding dean of the LKYSPP in 2004, Prof Mahbubani was with the Singapore Foreign Service for more than three decades. His postings included Cambodia, Malaysia and Washington DC, and he also served two stints as Singapore's permanent representative to the United Nations.
"Kishore brings a wealth of experience to the Kennedy School as a foreign policy professional and senior academic administrator," said Ash Centre director and Daewoo Professor of International Affairs Anthony Saich.
For Prof Mahbubani, the appointment is a homecoming of sorts - he was a fellow at Harvard's Centre for International Affairs from 1991 to 1992. He has discovered a new restaurant - Les Sablons - and returned to some old favourites such as Legal Sea Foods. "I'm going back to some of my old haunts," he said, adding that it was good to be back.

Glasgow holiday charity still going strong at 60
By Ann Fotheringham @FotheringhamHT Senior features writer
THE hair is freshly brushed, the white jumper neat and smart, and the smile just a wee bit nervous.
Elsie Mackie was six years old when this photo was taken in 1971, as an 'introduction' photo for host families on Glasgow Children's Holiday Scheme.
"I remember Norah Trundle from the scheme coming out to do the picture, so I could go on holiday," recalls Elsie with a smile. "And I got to go to Islay, where I saw wide open spaces, the sheep and the sea, and to the Isle of Man, where I built a sandcastle…"
For more than 60 years, GCHS has organised holidays for thousands of disadvantaged children. To commemorate its 60th anniversary, the "wee charity with a big heart" has published Making Memories, a colourful, cheerful book about families and friendship, adventure and hope.
GCHS began in the mid-1950s, when community worker Lilias Graham moved in to the Gorbals.
English-born and well-to-do, Lilias was appointed to her role by the Scottish Episcopal Church, who resisted her strong desire to live among the people she would support. The area was notorious, full of decaying tenements, extreme poverty and a community suffering the horrible effects of unemployment, crime and alcohol abuse.
Lilias got her way, however, and moved in to a flat on Abbotsford Place, which quickly became a drop-in centre complete with playroom, nursery and space for local women to meet and chat.
One day, Lilias mentioned she was going on holiday for a couple of weeks, prompting one of the young boys in the room to ask: "What's a holiday, Miss?"
"The innocent question proved to be a turning point in Lilias's life," explains GCHS chairman John McDougall.
"It opened her eyes to a form of deprivation that had been overlooked – the need for children to have a break from their surroundings."
Lilias had grown up on the family farm in Suffolk, and she knew that a local charity often paid for children from the London slums to have a break in the countryside. She contacted churches in rural locations, asking if they would find host families who could take a Gorbals child for a week or two during the summer holidays. The GCHS was born.
Over the years, the scheme has grown to offer static caravan breaks as well as volunteer host families, and activity breaks for youth groups. In 2018, still relying entirely on grant funding and donations, it gave 566 children a holiday.
But it is a sad and sobering fact, points out John McDougall, that the charity is needed just as much today as it was six decades ago.
"On May 2 last year, the Evening Times published an interview with a Glasgow headteacher who was shocked when a pupil asked her: "What is the sea, Miss?"" says John.
"It didn't shock us. We continually hear of children who have never seen the sea, never been on a boat or a train, never been on holiday.
"With almost a third of children in Glasgow living in poverty, families face difficult choices every day when it comes to how they will spend their money. It's hardly surprising a holiday is not a priority."
For Elsie Mackie, growing up in the Gorbals, her first holidays with the scheme – to Stirlingshire with her mum, to give her "a wee break", and to Islay and the Isle of Man - were magical, but it was her trips to Fortrose on the Black Isle which still have a special place in her heart.
"I stayed with Bunty Cameron and her family, at Tigh-na-rudha, Gaelic for 'house on the point," says Elsie. "I rode my bike, played rounders in the fields, swam in the sea. I loved spending my birthdays there, as Bunty would hold special tea parties for me and my friends.
"But those holidays also did so much for my self-confidence. I met new people, became more responsible. And Bunty became like a second mother to me."
Elsie, who is now a store manager and treasurer of the Southern Necropolis Action Group in the Gorbals, smiles: "I continued to visit her long after my connection with the holiday scheme had ended. She died in 2013, but she'll always be in my heart, and so will those happy holidays..."
Don't miss day two of our GCHS celebration tomorrow.

Differences Between Passive Income and Active Income
To live a comfortable financial life, you must understand the differences between passive income and active income. The reason for this is because, a good understanding of the two types of income will help you to know where to invest your time and energy. In this article, we will be taking a comprehensive look at the meaning and difference between active and passive income. But before we move to the crux of this work, I would like to define what income is.
meaning and Differences Between active and passive income
RECOMMENDED: Salary of lawyers in the United States
Income refers to the funds or money one earns either by working for it, or by capitalizing on work done by others. Earning income is a regular and important aspect of daily life. It seems to be a vital means of pushing the market and economy forward, because it is only when one earns that he can spend. Giving something of value, usually money, in exchange for commodities is what the market is composed of.
Since income is such an important financial term, it is pertinent that we examine the various ways it can be earned. The major types of income include passive, active and portfolio income.
While only active and passive types of income will be the focus of this article, it is worthy to note that portfolio income refers to money earned from dividends, shares, interests, investments and any such related terms. Some experts are of the opinion that portfolio income is same as passive income, and can be classified under its umbrella. The reason for this position will be understood later in this article.

2 What is passive income?
3 Passive vs Active Income
4 Differences Between Active and Passive Income
5 Ways to Earn Passive Income
What is active income?
Active income is income earned for a service rendered. Sources of active income include monies earned from salaries, commissions, tips and hourly wages, freelance and consulting services etc. It is payment that directly materializes from work done. With this type of income, time is the valuable that is traded or exchanged for money. Put simply, "the more time you spend doing work, the more you earn."
For most of the working population, active income is the only source of income. While it is regarded as risky to have an active income source as a sole income source, it is the bedrock of personal financial growth. Most people begin earning by actively working for it, then gradually saving and earning before their finances build up enough to yield money passively.
Active income is quite important because it is the fastest and most concrete way to gain consistent earnings. With active income, it is assured that for this amount of work, you will earn this amount of money.

It is agreeable that at some point, income earned actively becomes insufficient to cover cost of living and other expenses. It becomes difficult to survive on money that every single cent was worked for. When needs, wants, bills and responsibilities increase, it becomes important to source other income streams that would enable you earn money without having to work actively for it. This is where the essence of active income comes in – savings and investments made from bits kept aside from your earnings would gradually morph into passive income streams.
Passive income refers to monies earned from investments, assets and work done previously that continues to yield more funds with little or no effort added.
It goes without saying that passive income is more satisfying and profitable than active income. However, it is from earning actively that one creates the foundation for passive income.
Also see: Differences between standard of living and cost of living
Passive vs Active Income
There is no doubt that passive income is more profitable than active income. It can obviously cover more expenses than active income, with some reserve left. But passive income takes some time to build, and is often a product of active income. Active income provides an assurance of steady flow of funds and a quick and defined way to make money. In addition, it is often the means through which one can make money enough to set aside from or investment. These monies set aside and invested in stocks or rental property, shares, form the basis for one's passive income source as time goes on.
Even as active income is important and basic, it is dangerous and unadvisable to make it one's sole source of income. A better financial decision would be to have multiple streams of income source so as remain steady in case any of the other streams fail to come through at the moment it is needed.
If the best way to avoid a financial crisis is to have multiple streams of income, then why not have several active income sources?
The problem with this suggestion is that active income involves expending time, resources and skill in rendering the service or services that would be exchanged for money. There is only so much time a person can spend working, and only so much stress and Stein he can tolerate on the job. Meeting with the demand for several jobs can be quite draining, both physically and mentally.
This is why a passive income source is important. When one has successfully set up a passive income source and money is streaming in, it becomes easier to take care of living expenses incurred without putting in the equivalent required. A transition from earning actively to earning both actively and passively is a like a transition from 'working hard' to 'working smart'.
It is also important to note that investing money actively earned isn't the only way to establish a passive source of income. It may also be meticulously done work which has accumulated overtime, and which has begun to yield more profit than the effort put in. In some cases, when the venture starts to yield profit, it requires little to no effort more from the earner.
In a nutshell, both active and passive income aurces are very vital. Both are equally important and an individual who wishes to become and remain financially stable ought to work towards making them both.

Here are the Differences Between active and passive income
Differences Between Active and Passive Income
We've already established that active income is money earned fom direct physical and intellectual effort in offering up services. We also know that passive income on the other hand, is money earned with a lot less effort than the latter. You do not need to actively work on such income source.
For many, passive income seems more appealing because it doesn't seem like much work. While this is good, the downside which would make one think twice is therisk involved. This is also a major difference between active and passive income.
While earning actively, say on a day job or a salary, the income source is defined and has a semblance of stability to it. It is assured that ocne you do your job, you'll get the pay for it. But the same cannot be said for passive income. One could invest a lot in it and turn up with losses at the end of it all. Also, particular profits aren't stable. One can't say for sure how the stocks are going to look today, or if the company where shares were bought would make a massive or low profit at this time.
Another difference lies in profit immediacy. Active income is not only reliable, it is earned within an agreed and known period or as soon as you complete services ordered for. You are sure to get your pay immediately, but with passive income, the case is different. One has to put in months or even years of effort even before earning the slightest of profits. Gaining from it is not as immediate as it is with active income.
Comparison between active and passive income. Which is better? Answered
Ways to Earn Passive Income
Much mention has been made of investing as a common way of earning passive income in this article. There are many ways one can make valuable and profitable investments. One of such ways is through buying company shares.
When a company makes profit, individuals who invested in it usually earn a fraction of this profit which is called dividend. One can invest in several companies by buying shares with them and reaping dividends afterwards. There is also the option of investing in the stock market.
Another very profitable venture is real property investment. People often buy or build houses, estates and other landed property in less developed areas in hopes that as the years go by, industrialisation will take over the area and the price of the property will appreciate. At this point, the owner can decide to sell the property and earn considerable profit.
Another aspect of gaining from real property is rental income. This offers more immediate cash than the aforementioned and is often more lucrative. Tenants or hirers of the rented property pay rent on an agreed and regular basis to the property owner. This is a perfect example of earning passive income.

Justia Patents Timothy Kay Inventions, Patents and Patent Applications
Patents by Inventor Timothy Kay
Timothy Kay has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Multi-prefix query optimization
Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for retrieving information via a flexible and consistent targeted search model that employs interactive dynamic menu information retrieval techniques that provide context-specific functionality tailored to particular information channels, as well as to records within or across such channels, and other known state information. Users are presented with a consistent search interface among multiple tiers across and within a large domain of information sources, and need not learn different or special search syntax. A thin-client server-controlled architecture enables users of resource-constrained mobile communications devices to locate targeted information more quickly by entering fewer keystrokes and performing fewer query iterations and web page refreshes, which in turn reduces required network bandwidth.
Assignee: TROPARE, INC.
Inventors: G. Gregory Carpenter, Timothy Kay
Event based feature computation
Abstract: Techniques for performing feature computation are described. A system may gather and analyze event data to generate a timeline of the event data and corresponding feature data (e.g., statistical values representing the event data). The system can create a customized timeline that allows information to be sorted and aggregated in different timescales to improve speech processing and other functionality. For example, a feature computation system may calculate statistics and other information based on interactions with a speech processing system. These statistics provide information about previous interactions that may be leveraged to interpret future voice commands.
Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Inventors: Timothy Kay Cheng, Scott G. LeBaron, Carl Joshua Dell, Marcio Furlani Carmona, Nitin Tak, Anand Vishwanath Suvarnkar
Publication number: 20200142901
Type: Application
MULTI-PREFIX INTERACTIVE MOBILE SEARCH
Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for multi-prefix, interactive search capability on a mobile communications device. A keystroke is input into a search query field of a landing page and a multi-prefix search is performed. The landing page is refreshed to display the results. The landing page displays a first tier of search results, which can include channels or links to web pages associated with the user input. If the search result that is selected is a channel, the channel is displayed. If the search result that is selected is a web page, the web page is displayed. The landing page corresponding to the selected channel, or to the web page, may then be searched or explored. If the desired channel is not displayed within the first tier of search results, another keystroke may be input. The landing page refreshes accordingly and additional keystrokes may be entered.
Applicant: BOOPSIE, INC.
Methods and apparatus for use in computer-to-human escalation
Abstract: A system and method are provided for escalating a user or customer to a live agent from a conversational agent when predetermined criteria are met. The conversational agent textually converses in so-called natural language interaction and can run on a computer, such as a server. Upon receiving a first query, the conversational agent creates a new case, and interacts with the customer, in an attempt to resolve the case and satisfy the user. The predetermined criteria for escalation may include a determination that the conversational agent is unable to satisfy a computer-to-computer information request. Alternatively, the predetermined criteria may include patterns and/or words associated with frustration, for example, and/or unrecognized query subject matter, high priority queries, for example to increase sales, etc.
Assignee: Microsoft Corporation
Inventors: Francois Huet, Damien Saint Macary, Gray Salmon Norton, Stephen D. Klein, Timothy Kay
Assignee: Boopsie, Inc.
Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATION
Abstract: A conversational agent receives a textual user message and escalates the user to a live agent if predetermined criteria are met.
Applicant: Boopsie, In.
Method and system for using screen names to customize interactive agents
Abstract: A method for using the screen names of users are used to appropriately tailor a service for the users. If the service is a restricted service, then the screen name is used as the basis for deciding whether access should be granted to ensure that access is granted to a limited set of users. Alternatively, if the service is comprised of several component sub-services, and some of those sub-services are restricted, then the screen name is used as the basis for deciding whether access should be granted to the relevant sub-service.

Mysuru police guns down gangster from Punjab
Inspector Kumar later stated that he acted in self-defence and that Sukhwinder had held a constable tightly and threatened to shoot him.
A gangster from Punjab was gunned down at the Outer Ring Road in west Mysuru on Thursday morning.
Vijayanagar inspector BG Kumar opened fire at Sukhwinder Singh, from Faridkot. He was injured in the chest and was declared brought dead when he was rushed to KR Hospital nearby.
Inspector Kumar later stated that he acted in self-defence and that Sukhwinder had held a constable tightly and threatened to shoot him. Two persons who were accompanying Sukhwinder fled in a hired car that had a Mysuru RTO registration. The car was later seized by the police. However, they are yet to apprehend the two persons who were in it.
The Times of India reported Mysuru Commissioner KT Balakrishna saying that the gang was in the city to exchange demonetised notes.
The incident occurred between 9:15 am and 9:45 am on Thursday morning after police officials led by Kumar reached the spot near RV Residency Apartment on Outer Ring Road based on a tip-off they received.
According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, constable Veerabhadraswamy caught one of the persons - Sukhwinder. However, Sukhwinder held the constable tightly, refused to let him go and tried to fire at him with a revolver. The inspector fired at Sukhwinder in an attempt to save the constable.
Mysuru police took five hours to confirm Sukhwinder's identity and are further investigating the case to find out why a gang from Punjab was in Mysuru to exchange demonetised notes.

Supreme Court Undermines Protection for Older Workers
Simon Lazaruz
For older American workers, the ramifications of the court's rewrite of the law are severe and immediate. Previously, age discrimination victims could prevail in court by proving that unlawful bias was "a motivating factor" for their adverse treatment.
New America Media – Editor's Note: As tough as the job market is for older workers today, the US Supreme Court made their job prospects even worse by weakening their ability to sue employers for age discrimination. As congressional liberals try reversing the decision, its effects are spreading, especially for older ethnic workers. Attorneys Simon Lazarus and Sergio Eduardo Munoz of the National Senior Citizens Law Center explain the court's decision and its implications.
Older workers know that this economy is an especially grim environment for them, but few are aware that last summer, the US Supreme Court made their job prospects significantly worse.
At the end of the court's last term, a bare 5-4 majority reinterpreted the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) in a way that makes this half-century old guarantee of equal opportunity a virtual dead letter. Inevitably, many employers, pressured by the recession to slash payroll outlays even at the cost of losing valuable experienced workers, will see the decision as a green light to fire higher-paid veterans. In Congress, key leaders know this and are fast-tracking legislation to overturn it.
The court's decision tossed out a jury verdict in favor of Jack Gross, 61, an Iowa Farm Bureau insurance risk manager. He had, after a consistently well-reviewed career, suddenly faced a no-win company offer to buy out everyone over 50 and demote those who refused. He sued – and won.
The jury saw the company's self-styled "reorganization" as cover for blatantly unlawful age discrimination, but the Iowa Farm Bureau appealed and was victory in the Supreme Court last June.
After the high court bounced him back to square one, Gross, a life-long Republican, recently testified before Congress that the conservative justices had hijacked his case to make an ideological point. His view cannot be dismissed as sour grapes. The dissenting four justices characterized the majority's handiwork in unusually sharp language as "unabashed judicial law-making", "irresponsible", and in "utter disregard" of the Supreme Court's own precedents and "Congressional intent".
For older American workers, the ramifications of the court's rewrite of the law are severe and immediate. Previously, age discrimination victims could prevail in court by proving that unlawful bias was "a motivating factor" for their adverse treatment. But the Supreme Court has now changed that rule to require proof that unlawful bias was the only cause of adverse treatment. This guts the ADEA.
After all, employers rarely leave "smoking gun" proof of discrimination lying around. More often, they create paper trails justifying adverse actions on seemingly legitimate business-related grounds. In such circumstances, proving that age was the exclusive, rather than simply a "motivating" factor will not realistically be possible. Lawyers will counsel their business clients that they have nothing to fear if they pay lip service to the ADEA but ignore it in practice.
The damage from this decision doesn't stop with older workers. The Supreme Court's hotly contested interpretation of the ADEA is threatening to undermine myriad other federal anti-discrimination laws.
Already, courts are interpreting the ruling to require that any prohibited form of discrimination be the sole reason for an adverse action in cases ranging from jury service to free speech, even if age is not a factor.
Perversely, such creeping expansion of Gross has led many victims to a Hobson's Choice. If employees finds themselves discriminated against on more than one actionable ground, they may be forced to choose only one reason for litigation – or not litigate at all.
Bills to overturn the court's Gross decision were recently introduced in the Senate by Senators Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. The key sponsor in the House is Rep. George Miller, D-Calif.
Swift enactment could not be more urgent. As older workers attempt to retain, or obtain, employment in a climate of spiraling job losses, protection against employment discrimination is critical.
Moreover, the importance of fixing Gross is heightened for those doubly at risk of adverse employment action because of age and ethnicity. For ethnic elders, that tough Hobson's Choice isn't a hypothetical. An Alabama court has already told a victim of alleged race and age employment discrimination to choose only one factor or the other to litigate because of Gross.
Ultimately, this order may very well comport with the conservative Supreme Court majority's perspective on how discrimination against ethnic elders should be litigated. Too bad it doesn't fit – and can't cure – discrimination as it actually occurs in real world workplaces.

Cameroon athletes disappear from Olympic Village
Scott Hixson August 7, 2012, 21:45 November 13, 2017
The seven athletes include a soccer player, a swimmer and five boxers
Cameroon has witnessed the disappearance of seven of its Olympic athletes from the Olympic Village. Five boxers, a swimmer and a soccer player are suspected of having fled the Olympic Games in order to seek asylum in England or Europe for economic reasons.
Cameroon officials have acknowledged the disappearance of the seven Olympic athletes. A statement from David Ojong, the mission head, sent to the Cameroonian sports ministry reads, "What began as a rumor has finally turned out to be true. Seven Cameroonian athletes who participated at the 2012 London Olympic Games have disappeared from the Olympic Village."
According to Reuters, Drusille Ngako Tchimi, 25, reserve goalkeeper for the women's soccer team, was the first to disappear. According to the report, Ngako disappeared while her teammates left for Coventry for their match against New Zealand.
Ngako's disappearance was then followed by that of 50-meter freestyle swimmer Paul Edingue Ekane, 21, and five boxers: light flyweight Thomas Essomba, 24; light heavyweight Christian Donfack Adjoufack, 28; lightweight Yhyacinthe Mewoli Abdon, 26; super heavyweight Blaise Yepmou Mendouo, 27; and light welterweight Serge Ambomo, 26, who were all eliminated from the Games, according to the BBC.
According to the Reuters report, officials with the International Olympics Committee said Tuesday that they had heard nothing of the missing athletes. "We are unaware of it," said IOC spokesman Mark Adams when asked of the athletes' disappearances.
The Press Association, citing Cameroon media, has said that all seven missing athletes hold visas allowing them to remain in Britain legally until at least November.
According to Le Messager, a private newspaper in Cameroon, the athletes were supposed to fly back to Cameroon on Sunday but had vanished. The paper said the athletes took their personal effects, a nearly $5,000 bonus and sports equipment with them, according to an unnamed national Olympic official.
A sports reporter in Cameroon has said that some of the athletes hinted that they might try to stay in London before the Games began.
"They said they were very demotivated and named insufficient government attention to their complaints, inadequate financing, poor preparation and substandard infrastructure," David Sandjo with Sweet FM radio told The Associated Press. "Some even said they would not hesitate to change their nationality if ever they had the chance."
Britain's Home Office, which handles the nation's immigration, has declined to comment on whether any of the seven missing athletes have yet applied for asylum.

Council relationship strengthened
Te Wānanga o Aotearoa has signed a Relationship Agreement with Auckland Council as it continues to develop close work-ties with the territorial authority.
The signing took place during the opening week of Matariki Festival, of which Te Wānanga o Aotearoa is a principal sponsorship partner for a third consecutive year.
It signals the continuation of an already established alliance between the two organisations, which originally started with ATEED's Tāmaki Herenga Waka Festival and the Maori business network Te Whariki in 2016.
Other areas of shared interest include sponsorship of local community events such as Movies in the Parks, the Auckland International Cultural festival, Pasfika, Stand Up Stand Out and others.
While these events were facilitated by the council's strategic partnership team, there will also be other collaborative opportunities, such as working with the Māori responsiveness unit Te Waka Angamua as well as the council's community facilities department to use their sports and recreation centres.
Te Wānanga o Aotearoa former CEO Dr Jim Mather said he was pleased to be working in partnership with Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Mākaurau and sees Matariki as an opportune time for both organisations to renew their outlook and aspirations.
"As a national tertiary education provider passionate about transforming whānau through education we are proud to be working alongside Auckland Council to serve and support the communities of Tāmaki Makaurau.
Auckland Council chief executive Stephen Town was acknowledged for taking on the task of delivering projects to embed Māori responsiveness as a core element of its culture, operations and service delivery.
He says he looks forward to working with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, and developing a positive and effective relationship that brings tangible benefits, including the provision of Māori learning and development opportunities for council staff.
"I am very pleased to confirm Auckland Council's desire to develop a closer, more collaborative relationship with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa with the overarching goal of celebrating and promoting Auckland's Māori identity and Māori economic development."


OCP Asia, the Hong Kong-based credit fund manager, has garnered $500 million so far for its latest closed-end fund vehicle, Dan Simmons, a partner at the firm, has confirmed to Private Debt Investor.
The capital raised for Orchard Landmark III is double that of its predecessor vehicle, Orchard Landmark II, which closed on $200 million in March last year, according to PDI data.
Orchard Landmark III, which has a five-year investment period, was launched in the first quarter this year with an initial target of $500 million, as per PDI reporting. The firm is aiming for a final close by year-end. The hard-cap size is unclear.
Orchard Landmark III's investor base includes the US pension fund Montana Board of Investments, which revealed its $75 million allocation in a public disclosure in March. It previously committed $30 million to Orchard Landmark II.
Capital from the fund is being invested in corporate direct lending investments across Asia-Pacific. PDI understands OCP Asia's typical borrowers are small and medium-sized corporates with EBITDA of $25 million-$125 million. The firm also seeks companies backed by sponsor groups or families.
In terms of geographic focus, Australia has received the largest allocation across all funds in the Landmark series, with more than 50 percent of the overall investment portfolio deployed in the country. Within South-East Asia, Indonesia is a key investment market for the funds, Simmons said.
"At present, we see more attractive opportunities in both Australia and South-East Asia, with only a modest exposure to China. However, we continue to monitor the Chinese market, particularly as a number of Chinese conglomerates unwind offshore acquisitions," he added.
Simmons declined to disclose the investment return target for Orchard Landmark III. The firm had set a target return rate of 20-22 percent per annum for its predecessor.
Since 2016, there have been growing instances of managers pursuing a direct lending strategy in Asia-Pacific. According to PDI data, SSG Capital Management, a Hong Kong-headquartered investment firm, manages $1.14 billion across two direct lending funds; SSG Secured Lending Opportunities I and II. Avenue Capital Group, a direct lender based in New York, also reached a final closing for its Avenue Asia Special Situations Fund V at $450 million in July.
OCP Asia had $2.25 billion in assets under management as of end-September.

Amazon plans to invest a total of US$1 billion in Indonesia over the span of the next 10 years. This was conveyed to Indonesian President Joko Widodo last week by Amazon vice president Werner Vogels, according to local media reports (link in Bahasa Indonesia), though questions regarding AWS' regulatory compliance and tax payment in Indonesia still need to be sorted out.
The current proposal is about the firm's cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS). The funds would, therefore, most likely be used to build the necessary infrastructure for that, such as data centres.
– Amazon follows Alibaba's footsteps to build cloud computing data centres in Indonesia. The Chinese firm opened its first Alibaba Cloud data centre earlier this year.
– Indonesia is tightening controls on regulations which require sensitive user data to be stored in data centres within the country. This will spur the demand for cloud computing options that use local infrastructure.
– There's no indication that Amazon will bring its ecommerce services to Indoensia just yet, although it has launched a number of services in Singapore. In India, Amazon has been available since 2013 and is now battling Flipkart, which was taken over by Walmart, for ecommerce dominance.
