NYCHA tenant leaders asks: Where's the money?

As Gov. Andrew Cuomo makes major announcements that he is proposing $550 million in funding for the New York City Housing Authority in the state budget, tenants continue to suffer.
Hearing from folks who are battling with issues in NYCHA, the AmNews sat down this week with a group of tenant leaders from across the city. The leaders gave an inside view of the day-to-day problems public housing residents are facing as politicians continue to promise funding and fixes.
Carmen Quinones, Tenants Association president of Frederick Douglass Houses in Manhattan; Ronald Topping, Tenants Association president of John Adams Houses in the Bronx; and Lilithe Lozano, executive treasurer of the City Council of Presidents and Bronx North District chair, presented myriad issues in NYCHA that remain unresolved.
While headlines continue to cover mold, broken heaters and the lead paint crisis, the three leaders expressed frustration over a lack of funding by NYCHA and the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development that lawfully belongs to public housing residents.
NYCHA'S HOPE: AMNEWS TALKS TO SHOLA OLATOYE
Over the weekend, Cuomo announced he's tacking on an additional $250 million in proposed investment for inclusion in the state budget to support public housing. This amount is on top of the $300 million he's proposing after last week's visit to a public housing development in the Bronx, where he saw unfavorable conditions.
"At one time, NYCHA was the model of public housing, and now conditions are at the worst they've ever been. Tenants living in these intolerable, inhumane conditions need help now—not in four years, and this administration is taking action to ensure a brighter future for New Yorkers," Cuomo said during a speech at Taft Houses Saturday in East Harlem.
Tenant leaders were far from impressed with the governor's promise, which they say barely scratches the surface.
"It's very appreciated, but it's a drop in the bucket," Quinones said. "We go back to the city again and again and the city has to do much better. The problems in NYCHA are bad. The first thing we need to get is administration changed from the top down."
Quinones' frustration stems from what she alleges is mismanagement of funds by NYCHA. In 2014 when she became president of Douglass Houses, she received a budget letter which had $229,000. Quinones says the money was never touched, but when when she received the 2017 budget, only $89,000 was left. She alleges money was taken out and wants to know what happened.
Although she went to all avenues to find an answer as to where the money went, city officials and NYCHA haven't given her an answer.
"They still haven't told me where the money is," she said. "They want us to sign an agreement, and I refuse to sign it when I don't know where the money is."
Tenant leaders also highlighted reduced money for the Tenant Participation Activity Fund provided by NYCHA through HUD for programming. Each development is supposed to receive $25 per resident as stipulated in NYCHA's TPA guidebook per Part 964; however, leaders reported only getting $8 to $10 per resident.

The Jamie of the Ridge … a reflection on Outlander 5.01 "The Fiery Cross"
First, let me say that 5.01 "The Fiery Cross" was a masterful mix of old and new. It was recognizably based on the book but told with enough new and yet plausible surprises to keep me glued to my screen. It totally could have happened that way. And, although I love Diana Gabaldon, and her gathering, I'm relieved they didn't feel the need to replicate it in this episode. Instead, they gave us the wedding of Roger and Bree. It was a wonderful and joyous reunion filled with the people I have missed during this long drought. As each face was shown on the screen, I found myself smiling somewhat tearfully. I really do love this story and these characters.
As usual, when I sit down to write after an episode, a blow by blow recap of what happened isn't on my mind. There are lots of talented bloggers out there who do a great job looking at EVERTHING! I admire their ability to do so, but that just isn't how my brain works. I find myself thinking about one or two things that stood out for me or an overall mood or theme for each episode. This week I couldn't stop thinking about Jamie. The Jamie I saw on my screen this week was the charming, complicated, yet simple man I have been longing to see. As he stood before Claire wearing his plaid and his father's coat, it felt like he had finally come into his own; laird, proud Scot, husband, father, grandfather. He is a man and "that is no small thing". His tear-filled eyes throughout this episode revealed his soul and I found myself proud to "know" such a man.
Jamie and Bree
Matt Roberts writes with such love for this story and its characters. He holds all the previous episodes in mind when he creates and tends to the small and endearing details. In this episode, he called us back to the three conditions Jamie made when he agrees to marry Claire; a dress, a priest, and a ring. We are treated to Jamie trying his best to make sure his daughter's wedding day is the best he can make it, just like he tried for her mother. I was charmed by Jamie making sure Bree had her "modern" wedding tradition of something old, something new (fairly raw whiskey, ouch), something borrowed and something blue and even a sixpence for her shoe. His obvious fatherly concern is compounded by the fact that their relationship is still so new. He just got her back and now he has to give her away.
As he turns the corner and sees Bree in her wedding dress, you can chase the emotions across his face; awe, pride, gratefulness, and finally a need to hold it all in check for this beloved and found daughter. He could never have dreamed of placing his mother's pearls on his daughter's neck. He is able to pass on a family heirloom to his own flesh and blood. She is his blessing. She is the embodiment of the fact that his sacrifices were not in vain. He is moved to tears by her confession that she needs him and will always be his wee girl and the gift of her knowing and repeating the Fraser clan motto, "Je Suis Prest".
Jamie and Claire
Throughout the episode, we are reminded of Jamie and Claire's deep, passionate, and abiding love for one another. The looks that pass between each, the unspoken language of couples who are so close they know what the other thinks and feels, added so much to this episode. Once again, the writers or actors took care to be consistent in how this couple interacts with each other like the "let's do this" nod when Jamie goes off to do something dangerous. But, Lord the looks between Jamie and Claire at the wedding. He looks around at all he has wrought, the family he is surrounded by, and then back to Claire. Who knows. He is overwhelmed by all he has that he thought he had lost forever. He is a laird, a father, a…husband. I am constantly reminded of all they had been denied and wonder if Jamie feels like Job who was blessed in his latter days and given twice as much as had been taken from him.
Jamie and the Governor
I teach literature. When I help students analyze Shakespeare, we talk about foils. Governor Tyron was perfectly menacing and a perfect foil for Jamie. You couldn't help but compare the two. Their motivations, their values, couldn't be more opposite. The Governor has the care of a land and its people. Jamie has the care of a land and its people. The Governor is motivated by power and his own importance. Murtaugh has made him look a fool and must be punished publicly to restore Tyron's pride and preserve the perception of his power. Jamie is motivated by love, honor, and duty. The knowledge of the future lays heavy on him. He knows who wins the war, but first, you must survive the battle. Instinctively he knows the best way to protect his men and their families is to assure their loyalty to him. He creates a clan from the remnants of their memories and Scottish pride. When he called Roger "the son of my house" and Fergus "the son of his heart", he gave them a public affirmation of his acceptance and his love. Pledging their loyalty to him on bended knee with holy iron was one of the most moving callbacks of the whole series. I loved Roger's initial confusion then Jamie's surprise as the scholar moved from academic to real with alacrity.
Jamie and Murtagh
We began and ended the episode with these two. Murtagh pledges an oath to Jamie, a promise he gave his mother to always follow him and have his back. He gently reaches out and takes wee Jamie's hand in reassurance. Men in this time are definitely defined by their word and once given it is a serious and binding commitment. Murtagh pledged his life to Jamie. We have seen him keep that oath. We saw Jamie's joy at being reunited with his godfather last season. However, the real depth of feeling Jamie has for Murtagh could only be guessed at… until this moment. How much that oath meant to Jamie and his love for his godfather was revealed in this final scene. To save him, Jamie must release Murtagh from his oath and send him away. In true Jamie and Murtagh fashion, no gushy words are spoken in their final goodbye. Jamie is tearful when he tells him to go and attempts to smile as he tells him to make himself scarce. Murtagh's response is to gently reach out and touch Jamie reassuringly, thinking first of Jamie's feelings and needs always. He leaves and Jamie then collapses in grief emitting gut-wrenching sobs. I think having loved and lost is painful, but to gain that love back and have to let it go again is unbearable. Jamie is feeling fear as he never has before and that is saying a lot. He has a lot to lose and will fight to the death to preserve all that he loves.
This episode and Jamie's tears caused me to reflect on my own life. I thought of how much more easily my husband and I are moved to tears. I believe, like Jamie, our age is a factor. We have a lifetime of painful memories and struggles, things that we have overcome to get where we are now. And, I often find I am now moved to tears by the simplest of things like watching our youngest granddaughters ride a pony or their obvious pride in catching a fish all by themselves, or watching the teens in all of their various sports and activities.or their inexplicable joy in a pair of gifted footed pajamas! Sometimes watching the looks of pride on our own children's faces as they look upon their children moves me to tears and I will look at my husband and find that he too is tearful. Like Jamie and Claire, understanding, gratitude, and love will wordlessly pass between us and end in a brief kiss and a tremulous smile.

Jamie and Sam the literary connection
I love my readers! So many of you take the time to engage in what are truly interesting conversations about the books and show. I especially like it when someone from the film industry adds their unique prospective. Recently, I got a response to my article on Hollywood and women. http://wp.me/p4mtBT-1af Jacki Lippman, one of those rare women who Is actually getting to make a film, shared her thoughts on the issue and went on to say that although she loves Claire she believed that Jamie was one of the best fictional male characters out there. In fact, she's been studying him and the reaction book readers and now series watchers have to him. The following is an article she wrote about when the fans helped Sam Heughan (Jamie) win The Radio Times "TV Champion". I loved her thoughts about how this character and Sam's portrayal of him has resulted in such fan devotion. I agree. One great literary character + One great actor + One great performance = a pretty amazing fan base. The clan is busy voting again and who knows what they'll accomplish this time. Thank you to Jacki for letting me share her great words. Congrats to Diana, Sam and the whole Outlander team! You've truly created something that inspires!
Just a theory about the literary component to Sam actor fan following.
Scotland Now, reporting on Sam Heughan's Radio Times "TV Champion" victory, predict big things for Mr. Heughan, but they don't recognize that he is unique. The literary component to the fan following phenomenon of Sam Heughan is the key, and it has never happened before. Not like this. There is no more passionate fanbase than this one. (Even William Shatner is impressed, and he knows about fanbases.)
In August, Radio Times conducted a twitter-based bracketed competition for a month to select their "TV Champion."
512 television personalities were selected from American and British shows available in the UK. Fans voted as often as they wanted for their "champions" by clicking a VOTE button on their twitter feeds.
In the Final Round, internationally famous comedian and movie star, Ricky Gervais, with 9.2 million twitter followers lost to Sam Heughan, a relatively unknown Scottish actor with only 180k twitter followers.
Heughan won the People's Choice Award last year for best actor in a sci drama after only eight episodes of "Outlander" had appeared on U.S. TV. He had only been on U.S. TV EIGHT TIMES. * a wee mistake here. The show won, but hey we wish it was true!
Mr. Heughan plays Jamie Fraser on the Starz' drama, "Outlander," based on Diana Gabaldon's best selling book of the same name. The show finished its freshman season this past July and has only recently become available to UK audiences via Amazon Prime Video. It is now Amazon's most downloaded program of 2015. Season 2 is being filmed now.
It's success is due in large part to Sam Heughan, but not just because he is handsome and talented. Those are standard requirements for a leading man. This actor's appeal is exponentially magnified by the unprecedented appeal of the character he portrays, as he exists on the pages of Ms. Gabaldon's book.
The book itself is not unique in its eloquence. The hero is. Unique with a capital Holy Wow. (The show's writers have labeled Jamie Fraser, "The King of Men." He absolutely is.)
Fraser, a fictional 18th century Scottish warrior and wrongfully accused outlaw, is unique or at least unusual enough to pass for it. He is big and strong and noble and handsome – the standard package that all literary heroes leave the factory floor with, and he has the usual endearing flaws that make him accessible to us ordinary mortals.
But Jamie is also young, sexually naive, and the victim of horrible physical and emotional abuse that should have left him much more sarcastic, glib and cynical about life. We have met that romantic hero – Han Solo, James Bond, even a well known Time Lord. That hero has been damaged by life and only the love of a good woman can turn him around and make him care again. Nothing special there.
Instead, Jamie Fraser is a well educated, affable, generous, kind, vulnerable, wise and occasionally silly man. He's the most appealing male character ever written.
In a word, he is irresistible.
A major part of the character's incomparable appeal is that the heroine, 1940's army combat nurse and happily married woman, Claire Beauchamp, could fall for him. She is a modern woman, even by the standards of the 1940's. She would not be out of place in society today. She is very much the lens through which 21st century women who meet the written Jamie Fraser, form their opinion of him. Fraser steals Claire's heart from her husband in a few short months. For us, it happens as quickly as we can turn the pages.
When unknown actor, Sam Heughan was cast, enormous success was his to lose. Millions of faithful female readers were going to transfer their love of Jamie Fraser to him as long as he was an even halfway decent three dimensional incarnation of this extraordinary fictional man. If he could act at all, he was likely assured at least a couple of seasons on a very good cable tv show.
However, Sam Heughan turned out to be far more than just a talented actor, and both the show runner, Ronald D. Moore, and Diana Galbadon have stated that they knew they had something special the moment they saw him as Jamie. Castmate, Graham McTavish notably stated, "Sam IS Jamie. "
Because in addition to being Jamie physically, Heughan appears to share Jamie's modest, brave, affable, caring, and emotionally intelligent personality. His fans don't want to date Heughan, they want him to be happy, preferably with "Claire" portrayer, the extremely talented Caitriona Balfe. Mr. Heughan does appear to be very fond of Ms. Balfe. His fans are thrilled.
In Jamie-like fashion, Mr. Heughan loves whisky, can withstand extreme physical challenges and is proud of his Scottish roots. He puts in the time for his worthy charity, and gets high marks from his fans for being silly and gracious with them. He has no romantic past on record. He has no DUI's, no embarrassing interviews, no awkward or damaging photos on the internet that would serve to differentiate him from his fictional counterpart. Sam Heughan couldn't do a better job of BEING Jamie Fraser had he a birth certificate showing his DOB as sometime in the early 1720's.
Sam Heughan's fans spent the month of August ensuring he would win the "TV Champion" campaign, voting for him around the clock 'til their fingers ached because, having subconsciously conflated Mr. Heughan with Jamie Fraser, his fans have created a living, breathing King of Men. He won with more than 16 million votes. 180,000 followers. Do the math and you'll see the alchemy.
Had this singular role not come along, this UK-based "jobbing" actor might easily have continued in relative anonymity. His prior performances were all very good, but he was not on course for super stardom. All bets are off now. Jamie Fraser is unstoppable. Sam Heughan is uniquely positioned to become the same
Jacki Lippman has worked on projects for Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Muhammad Yunus for more than twenty-five years, focusing on public awareness and introducing him to Hugh Jackman, Brad Pitt, Jon Stewart, Bill Maher and Oprah Winfrey.
Jacki has spent the past 4 years developing a feature film about Dr. Yunus and his global success empowering women to lift themselves and their families out of poverty through access to credit.

An F/A-18C from VMFA-251 launches off the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) last May in the Persian Gulf. The USS Normandy (CG-60) is in the background. The Navy is prioritizing long-range surface warfare weapons. The long-range antisurface missile is being integrated on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the B-18 Lancer.
The surface Navy is 'outgunned and sensor-deficient'—among other problems. Here's how to boost our warfighting strength.
The surface Navy has a proud tradition of warfighting excellence—from destroyer action in the Pacific during World War II, supporting the Inchon landing in Korea, to the gun line in the Tonkin Gulf, the Tanker Wars in the Persian Gulf, and the more recent Tomahawk strikes in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. During the past two years, Destroyer Squadron Two and Carrier Air Wing One have been the beneficiaries of some of the Navy's best training. They were well manned and equipped, and spent almost nine months on a deployment around the world, including six months in the Persian Gulf. Now, looking back on the training and deployment, we can identify the most critical shortcomings of our integrated warfighting team and how we could best improve our combat capability.

Q: Using JavaScript in mobile web application I need to use JavaScript in a form for mobile web application.
I need some information about it, related to browser compatibility as well as way to use JavaScript in mobile web applications (syntax).

A: It's a nightmare. It's like working with web-browsers in the 90's but with the manager expectations of tomorrow.
I strongly recommend you determine your target platforms in terms of regions, software, and actual hardware since the market is much more fragmented than the web and a large number of mobile devices have issues with CSS, JS and even XHTML ranging from painful to not-on-this-platform.
The good news is that android and iphone are pushing the field rapidly. The bad news is that makes a lot of the sources you'll google badly out-of-date.
Some references:

*

*http://www.w3.org/TR/mobileOK-basic10-tests/#test_objects_or_script

*http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/getting-started-with-mobile-ajax

*http://mobiforge.com/
Especially that last one :)

A: The reality have changed since this question was asked. Modern smartphones support browsers, that are compatibile with their desktop big brothers, with same JavaScript support. However, still there are differences how application is displayed and how it is operated, you can't rely on drag-and-drop, there are some rendering differences, f.g. in GWT-Ext Showcase on Opera Mobile tab close buttons are not rendered. So you should not rely on modern JavaScript 'magic framework' such as Ext.

A: Agree with the "it's a nightmare" comment.
Some tips:

*

*For simple scripts, go right back to JavaScript basics - no JS frameworks - think document.getElementById();

*Always make sure your JavaScript is valid. If you have an object, make sure you have commas and semi-colons in the right place. An easy way to check this is in Internet Explorer - check in the bottom left for the valid or invalid JavaScript icon.

*Make sure your Javascript is XML valid - Blackberry's won't like it if it's not.

*For something more complex, check out jquery mobile: http://jquerymobile.com/ - some nice stuff in there.

A: Totally agree with annakata,
It is a minefield trying to work with JavaScript on a mobile phone in fact we(I work for a  mobile agency) tend to recommend to clients that you don't use JavaScript in your mobile pages.
If you have to use JavaScript then look into

*

*WURLF - http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/

*MobiForge - http://mobiforge.com/

*MobileElements -    http://www.mobileelements.com/
And I would recommend creating an iPhone only site that has all the cool functionality and then a plain site for everyone else so that it works well for them.
Also remember you can use device anywhere for testing on multiple phones as well

A: I would recommend you to use new framework for mobile web applications Sencha http://www.sencha.com/
This framework supports wide range of mobile platforms like Adroid, iPhone and others...
Good luck,
Yevgeniy V.
Softjourn Inc.
Software developer.

A: Another good solution to target multiple devices (IPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Bada ...) and take advantage of innovative components is to use the JavaScript Toolkit Wink.

A: Khushi,
I have just founded a framework called PhoneGap, you build your whole app using javascript, html5 and css. You even can play with device native features.
Take a look at for more information http://www.phonegap.com/about .

A: You may know Patrick H. Lauke, who wrotes the quirksmode blog. He started to work with mobile phones in the not so recent past.
He is publishing his work on the same website in the same wonderful quality of his.
Browsers in the new mobile phones are getting better, that's true, but unfortunately even crazier bugs are popping up.
Not all are javascript related, but you could check his mobile pages at:

Firefighters battling sauna fire at historic Spitalfields building
Else Kvist
Published: 11:27 AM November 24, 2011 Updated: 8:34 AM October 14, 2020
Firefighters are currently tackling a fire at a sauna inside the London Fruit and Wool Exchange by Spitalfields Market.
Around 30 firefighters with six fire engines have this morning been battling the fire believed to be inside a sauna on the second floor of the five storey building on Brushfield Street.
A man suffering smoke inhalation escaped the building before the fire brigade arrived and was treated by ambulance staff at the scene, according to a London Fire Brigade spokesman.
The fire at the 1929 building is now under control and unlikely to spread, the spokesman said.
The Brigade was called at 8.20am and firefighters from Whitechapel, Old Kent Road, Bethnal Green and Shoreditch are on the scene. It's not clear at this stage how the blaze started, according to the London fire Brigade.
Plans are currently underway to transform the The London Fruit and Wool Exchange into a mixed-use 28,000m� office and retail scheme.

Phoenix and Mac DeMarco rock Freeborn Hall
Phoenix filled Freeborn Hall last night.
Then they crammed in an extra 30 people.
Canadian rock band Mac DeMarco opened the night, entertaining the crowd with their laid-back Canadian antics. Their sound ranged from slow and soothing with "Ode to Viceroy," to their rocking song about meth, "Cooking Up Something Good."
The lights cut out and Phoenix came out loud with their new song, "Entertainment." The fog poured out from the stage and the energy only increased with their eight minute banger, "Love Like a Sunset," with the song culminating into a wall of sound and light. The band played a set picked from third and fourth albums with songs like "Long Distance Call," "Rome," "Consolation Prizes" and "Lasso." The French rock stars played four more songs from their new album: "Chloroform," "Drakkar Noir," "Oblique City" and a bonus song on Bankrupt!, "Trying To Be Cool."
Bringing the night to a close, the band came back out for an encore, playing a slowed-down version of "Girlfriend." Finally, lead singer Thomas Mars surfed into the crowd as they finished their set with "1901," a crowd favorite.

PUBG Devs Looks To Launch Wildly Popular Shooter On Every Major Platform
Bluehole struck gold with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the massively popular survival shooter that recently made gaming history by notching more than 3 million concurrent players on Steam. The game has been such a raging success that the developers were spun off into their own company, PUBG Corp, led by CEO Chang-han Kim. While it be tempting to just ride out PUBG's success by focusing on its current course, Kim has bigger plans—he wants to see PUBG launched on every platform.
That most notably includes the PlayStation 4, where PUBG has not yet manifested. It could also include the Nintendo Switch, though one thing at a time. In a recent interview with Inven Global, Kim specifically pointed to the popularity of Sony's console, especially in China where console gaming is much bigger than it is in the United States.
"I had a chat with Japanese reporters, and they said that it's such an incredible feat considering the title is PC based. However, as you know, the console market in Japan is 10 times bigger, and most of them are PlayStation gamers. I'm not certain if it's because PUBG is being released exclusively on Xbox One, but I was told that the PC and Xbox One markets in Japan are growing significantly. They are also running out of Xbox One Xs, I heard," Kim said.
PUBG started off as a PC title on Steam's Early Access program. It recently launched out of Early Access, and has also been ported to the Xbox One. Building a version for the PS4 seems the next logical step as Kim and company look to capitalize on the game's popularity. At the same time, Microsoft has an exclusivity agreement in place that will keep PUBG away from the PS4 for a bit, though it's not clear for how long.
"As it's going to be an exclusive title on Xbox One for some time, we'd like to focus on completing the Xbox One PUBG for now. If we have the opportunity, the final goal would be to launch the title on every platform," Kim said.
One of the challenges with porting PUBG over to PS4 is cleaning up the gaming experience. For all of PUBG's success, there have been numerous bugs, including ones that affect performance. PUBG Corp has been working hard to smooth things out, but as Kim admits, Sony is "very strict" on its quality requirements.
So, PS4 gamers will have to wait. In the meantime, PUBG continues its record-setting ascent.

Q: How to set prop check in checkbox when second one changes jQuery I have two fields, where there are two items to choose from, two checkboxes. And I'd like when I click the option Yes, it automatically selects Yes in the other checkbox.
For example: when I click Yes here : Guarantee or other security given by custom Single automatically selects Yes here : Guarantee or other security given by customer :
This is my jQuery code, HTML markup and source code :

        Guarantee or other security given by custome Single

              <input type="radio" id="DeliveryYesSingle" name="deliveryCredit" value="yes"/>
              Yes

            <input type="radio" id="DeliveryNoSingle" name="deliveryCredit" value="no"/>
            No

        Guarantee or other security given by customer

            <input type="radio" id="deliveryYesSingleBoard" name="deliverySingle" value="yes"/>
            Yes

            <input type="radio" id="DeliveryNoSingleBoard" name="deliverySingle" value="no"/>
            No

jQuery
$('[id="DeliveryYesSingle"]').on('change', () => {
    $('[id="deliveryYesSingleBoard"]').prop('checked', true);
});

$('[id="DeliveryNoSingle"]').on('change', () => {
        $('[id="DeliveryNoSingleBoard"]').prop('checked', true);
});

JSfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/Palucci92/pouw6q3t/1/

A: Make sure you imported jQuery. I have just added jQuery tag in your Jsfiddle it's just working fine

also i have just added some script to the process vice-versa
I have just attaching edited JSfiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/p5thmwab/

A: It is working.
Possible problem is that you didn't include the Jquery library in your fiddle.
Try out the snippet I made.

         $('[id="DeliveryYesSingle"]').on('change', () => {
           $('[id="deliveryYesSingleBoard"]').prop('checked', true);
         });

         $('[id="DeliveryNoSingle"]').on('change', () => {
            $('[id="DeliveryNoSingleBoard"]').prop('checked', true);
         });

Guarantee or other security given by custome Single

     <input type="radio" id="DeliveryYesSingle" name="deliveryCredit" value="yes"/>Yes

     <input type="radio" id="DeliveryNoSingle" name="deliveryCredit" value="no"/>No

Guarantee or other security given by customer

        <input type="radio" id="deliveryYesSingleBoard" name="deliverySingle" value="yes"/>
    Yes

    <input type="radio" id="DeliveryNoSingleBoard" name="deliverySingle" value="no"/>
    No

Elections 2021: Campaign on the Home Stretch
By Imanuel Marcus On Sep 20, 2021
Photo: Pro Sieben/Sat1/Kabel1
In Germany, Super Sunday is just around the corner. While the three candidates for Chancellor faced each other on TV again, the big question is: How reliable are the polls?
Sofia/Bulgaria, September 20th, 2021 (The Berlin Spectator) — In "Tachles Arena", a video broadcast just produced by the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Armin Laschet was being asked what had gone wrong in his campaign. Considering his conservative CDU could end up with its worst result ever, if the latest polls turn out to be accurate, the question was justified. First Minister Laschet, the conservative candidate, had this to say: "I would recommend we wait and see."
Issue in District 196
Laschet did have a point when he said things had changed several times during the election campaign. First, the Green contender, Annalena Baerbock, had been sold as the next Chancellor. Now that she was behind, it was the Social-Democratic candidate Olaf Scholz. "No. I believe this is an open race. This is a special situation, since a long-time Chancellor is not running again and three new candidates are coming."
In the Council's interview, he was being asked about his plans in regard to the fight against antisemitism as well, just like the other two candidates before him. During the interview, one of his problems became evident again. The issue Armin Laschet has to address all the time has a name: Hans Georg Maassen (German spelling Maaßen). This former President of Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, who was fired in 2019, is considered a far-right politician. There are quite a few of those in the Federal Republic, but Maassen is a member of Laschet's CDU. And not only that, but he is also running for the Bundestag in electoral district 196, located in the federal state of Thuringia.
Elections 2021: The Last Debate
Elections 2021: Prominent Figures Hit Campaign Trail Ahead…
Elections 2021: Candidates for Chancellor Face Each Other on…
Polls Are Only Polls
Laschet stated the constant discussions about Maassen's controversial statements would valorize them. His party members in Thuringia had picked Maassen in a democratic process. As party chairman, he had to acknowledge this fact. Maassen is already doing damage. In case he ends up in the Bundestag, the CDU and its Bavarian sister party CSU will be in trouble.
What the race is concerned, Laschet is right. It is open, but the Social Democrats seem to be defending their lead in the polls by increasing their advantage. In the past four days, as many as seven polls were conducted by just as many institutes, namely Kantar, Forsa, Forschungsgruppe Wahlen, GMS, Infratest/Dimap, INSA and Yougov. The center-left SPD nobody believed in anymore until they overtook the conservatives a few weeks ago, is ahead between 2 (GMS) and 6 points (Kantar). At the same time, everybody, including the candidates for Chancellor, agree that polls are only polls. At the end of the day, the election result is what counts.
'More of the Same'
In the latest and last TV truel before the elections, Armin Laschet, Olaf Scholz and Annalena Baerbock faced each other on Sunday. The Social-Democratic and Green candidates said they would work on getting a statutory minimum wage of 12 Euro (14 U.S. Dollars or 10.25 Pounds Sterling) per hour, while Laschet argued this question should be left to the social partners who negotiated salary agreements. Laschet said qualified nurses already had a minimum wage of 15 Euro (17.57 Dollars or 12.82 Pounds).
On one of the most important subjects of them all, the climate policy, Annalena Baerbock, the 40-year old Green candidate who was not even born when her party was founded in 1980, slammed both Laschet and Scholz: "As we can see, there are only two alternatives." There was either more of the same, "by these two gentlemen of the grand coalition" or a persistent fight against global warming in a government headed by the Greens.
Triple Victory Possible
The elections on Super Sunday, September 26th, 2021, will be suspenseful. All three candidates for Chancellor have issues which could cost them the victories they are longing for. Laschet lacks support, even in his own party, Mrs. Baerbock made mistakes at the beginning of the campain, and Scholz' success in the polls is partially connected to the weaknesses of the other contenders. On Super Sunday, there will not only be elections for the Bundestag, but also state elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Hither Pomerania. In all three cases, the SPD could win, according to the polls.

Some wonderful evangelists and missionaries have viewed their ministry as saving individuals from the sinking ship of the world. The boat is dropping and our task is to conserve as many as we could from going down with it. The globe is passing away, yet whoever does the will of God follows for life.
The issue with this photo is not specifically what some critics believe it is.
Some point out that the boat is not going down. They state, the suggestion that Christian ministry is a rescue procedure is ill-conceived. Life on the boat, and also the boat itself, are going to be absolutely refurbished at some point.

There is reality in both these pictures of ministry. It holds true that the ship of the globe will certainly never sink as well as become unliveable. The brand-new planet is this old earth revived. Every individual on this ship dies. And when they die they are thrown overboard.
Currently, if they have a faith-in-Jesus life vest when they pass away and go overboard, Jesus comes along and also chooses them up in his eternal-life redemption boat.
If they don't have the faith-in-Jesus life jacket, then they sink and die. The necessity is not that the boat is sinking, yet that all the guests are passing away.
It is additionally true that the ship itself is a vexing mix of stunning craftsmanship from the Ship-Builder, spectacular knowledge in the most gifted staff, motivating stories of heroic accomplishments of benefits, and also terrible human suffering. A few points on the watercraft work perfectly. Most things break. Just when you assume a condition is about to be conquered, a trouble kills numerous thousands listed below deck. One day you feel happy. The following day you fear for your life.
It is additionally true that the Lord Jesus that made the ship, as well as keeps it afloat will certainly one day board the ship in person as the rightful Captain. When he does, all the nonbelievers and also mutineers go over the top.

Jennifer Lawrence Makes Instagram Debut on Chris Pratt's Feed
Does she even know it, though?
By Ella Cerón
LONDON, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 01: Chris Pratt (L) and Jennifer Lawrence pose at a photocall for "Passengers" at Claridge's Hotel on December 1, 2016 in London, England. (Photo by David M. Benett/Dave Benett/WireImage)Dave Benett/WireImage
Jennifer Lawrence's aversion to social media is pretty legendary at this point. She's said that she'll never join Twitter, and her Facebook is the only form of verified social media that belongs to her. But while she's dodged appearing in BFF Amy Schumer's Instagrams, she hasn't been so quick to avoid Chris Pratt.
The two are busy promoting their new sci-fi romance film, Passengers, in Europe, and between their press junkets and interviews, they still have time to post a 'gram or two along the way. Chris is a prolific Instagrammer — and a bit of a jokester, too — and has been teasing his followers by posting selfies with Jennifer... well, not quite. You see, there's always something slightly off with his cropping, or focus. Hey, not even he's perfect but we'll take these glimpses of Jen where we can get them. I
t's also hard to tell, but given that Chris has been keeping this stunt up for a few days, the actress likely knows that he's doing this — at least, we hope she does.
The clearest image of Jen on his feed also happens to be the most impressive. Chris showed off his ability to spin three glasses of water in the air — upside down even! — without spilling anything. The sound is turned off and the video has been slowed way down, but you can clearly see Jennifer freaking out at the trick in the background. Same.

Die 10. Etappe der Vuelta a España 2022 fand am 30. August 2022 statt und wurde im Rahmen des einzigen Einzelzeitfahrens der 77. Austragung des spanischen Etappenrennens ausgetragen. Die 30,9 Kilometer lange Strecke verbindet die beiden Städte Elche und Alicante, wobei kaum Höhenmeter absolviert wurden. Nach der Zielankunft hatten die Fahrer insgesamt 1459,1 Kilometer absolviert, was 44,4 % der Gesamtdistanz der Rundfahrt entsprach.

Streckenführung
Gestartet wurde das Einzelzeitfahren in Elche vor dem Palau dels Altamira nahe der Basílica de Santa Maria. Über die N340 ging es in Richtung Osten aus der Stadt heraus, ehe die Fahrer kurz nach dem Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero auf die schmälere Avinguda de l'Altet wechselten. Hier wurde nach 10,4 Kilometern die erste Zwischenzeit genommen. Nachdem die Fahrer L'Altet erreicht hatten, fuhren sie weiter bis an die Küste, wo sie links abbogen. Nun ging es entlang der Küste vorbei an Urbanova und dem Playa de los Saladares. Kurz darauf führte die Strecke auf die N332, die zum Zielort Alicante führt. Hier wurde die zweite Zwischenzeit nach 21 Kilometern genommen. In Alicante ging es zunächst vorbei am Hafen, ehe die Fahrer nach dem Castillo de Santa Bárbara die N332 verließen und links auf die Avenida de Jaime abbogen. Die Ziellinie befand sich nach weiterer Fahrt gerade aus auf der Avenida de la Estación kurz nach dem Placa de los Luceros.

Rennverlauf und Ergebnisse
Chronologischer Ablauf

Nach dem zweiten Ruhetag wurden mit Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers), José Herrada (Cofidis), Harry Sweeny, Jarrad Drizners (beide Lotto Soudal), Edoardo Affini (Jumbo-Visma), Sam Bennett (Bora-hansgrohe), Mathias Norsgaard (Movistar) und Floris De Tier (Alpecin-Deceuninck) acht Fahrer positiv auf COVID-19 getestet. Mit Ethan Hayter und Edoardo Affini gingen somit gleich zwei ausgewiesene Zeitfahr-Spezialisten nicht an den Start. Eröffnet wurde das Einzelzeitfahren von Boy van Poppel (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux), der in der Gesamtwertung auf dem letzten Platz liegend bereits einen Rückstand von über zweieinhalb Stunden aufwies. Eine erste Richtzeit setzte der Franzose Rémi Cavagna (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), der die 30,9 Kilometer in 34 Minuten und 18 Sekunden zurücklegte. Der zweifache Zeitfahrweltmeister Rohan Dennis (Jumbo-Visma) konnte die Bestzeit nicht gefährden und erreichte das Ziel mit einem Rückstand von fast eineinhalb Minuten.

Mit Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers) nahmen schlussendlich die Top 10 der Gesamtwertung die Strecke in Angriff. Der Franzose überzeugte mit einer Zeit von 34:45 min und schob sich damit auf den vorläufig zweiten Platz. Während Jai Hindley (Bora-hansgrohe) und insbesondere João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) hinter den Erwartungen zurückblieben und über eine Minute auf Rémi Cavagna verloren, fuhren Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco) und Miguel Ángel López (Astana Qazaqstan) mit 35:00 bzw. 35:05 min solide Zeiten und belegten vorläufig die Plätze vier und sechs. Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) konnte seine gute Form aus den vorangegangenen Etappen nicht abrufen und verlor eine Minute und 17 Sekunden auf den weiterhin führenden Franzosen. Im Gegensatz zu seinem Landsmann überraschte der gesamtvierte Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) und schob sich mit 34:40 min noch vor seinen Teamkollegen Pavel Sivakov auf den vorläufig zweiten Rang. Nachdem Rémi Cavagna das Rennen über eine lange Zeit angeführt hatte, wurde seine Zeit von dem Olympiasieger Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) unterboten. Der Slowene legte die Distanz in 34 Minuten und sechs Sekunden zurück und unterbot die Zeit des Franzosen um zwölf Sekunden. Enric Mas (Movistar) fuhr mit 35:09 min die vorläufig neunt schnellste Zeit und reihte sich damit knapp hinter Simon Yates, Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) und Miguel Ángel López ein. Auf Primož Roglič verlor der Spanier jedoch über eine Minute. Als letzter Fahrer rollte Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) von der Startrampe. Der Belgier setzte bei beiden Zwischenzeiten eine neue klare Bestzeit und erreichte das Ziel nach 33 Minuten und 18 Sekunden. Neben seinem ersten Grand Tour-Etappensieg nahm der Gesamtführende dem Zweitplatzierten Primož Roglič 48 Sekunden ab und baute somit seinen Vorsprung in der Gesamtwertung weiter aus.

Platzierungen der Gesamtklassement-Fahrer

Hinter dem Etappensieger Remco Evenepoel blieb nur Primož Roglič innerhalb der ein Minuten Marke. Auf Platz drei folgte Rémi Cavagna gefolgt von den beiden Ineos Grenadiers Carlos Rodríguez und Pavel Sivakov. Mit einem Rückstand von über eineinhalb Minuten folgten Lawson Craddock (BikeExchange-Jayco) sowie sein Teamkollege Simon Yates, Tao Geoghegan Hart und Miguel Ángel López. Den zehnten Platz belegte Enric Mas, der eine Minute und 51 Sekunden auf Remco Evenepoel verlor. Der Australier Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën) blieb als zwölfter innerhalb der zwei Minuten Marke, während Joao Almeida und Juan Ayuso als 15. und 17. zwei Minuten und 13bzw. 17 Sekunden verloren. Noch weiter zurück lagen Thymen Arensman (DSM) und Jai Hindley, die zwei Minuten und 59 Sekunden bzw. drei Minuten und 48 Sekunden auf Remco Evenepoel einbüßten.

In der Gesamtwertung baute Remco Evenepoel seinen Vorsprung auf zwei Minuten und 41 Sekunden aus. Primož Roglič schob an Enric Mas vorbei und war nun der neue Gesamtzweite. Die beiden trennten jedoch lediglich 22 Sekunden. Aufgrund seiner guten Zeitfahrleistung behielt Carlos Rodríguez seinen vierten Gesamtrang und lag mit einem Rückstand von drei Minuten und 55 Sekunden nur noch 52 Sekunden hinter dem Podest. Simon Yates überholte Juan Ayuso, der auf den sechsten Platz abrutschte. Während Jai Hindely aus den Top 10 fiel reihte sich Tao Geoghegan Hart wieder als zehnter ein, wobei sein Rückstand auf Remco Evenepoel bereits mehr als siebeneinhalb Minuten betrug. In den Sonderwertungen kam es zu keinen nennenswerten Veränderungen und alle 156 Fahrer die das Zeitfahren gestartet waren, hatten auch das Ziel erreicht.

Apex Legends Season 6: How To Get Caustic's New Heirloom
That's one scary sledgehammer.
It's less than a week until the Apex Legends 'Aftermarket' releases.
The limited-time event will bring a range of new cosmetics to the game.
On top of this, a new heirloom will be released for Caustic.
It's fair to say his heirloom matches his character as he'll be receiving a huge sledgehammer.
Let's check out how you get your hands on the new heirloom.
How To Get Caustic's New Heirloom
Caustic's sledgehammer is not an easy item to acquire.
Just like the other in-game heirlooms, it's intended to be a rare item for dedicated or lucky players.
Courtesy of Respawn Entertainment
There are two ways to get your hands on the new heirloom.
The first way is to collect all of the exclusive cosmetics available at the release of 'Aftermarket'.
There are 24 in total and collecting them all will reward you with Caustic's sledgehammer.
Another way of obtaining the sledgehammer is waiting until the 'Aftermarket' ends.
Caustic's heirloom will then be added into the regular pool of heirlooms.
This will mean the sledgehammer will become unlockable through heirloom shards.
Of course, with any in-game heirloom, there's a lot of luck involved.
However, that;'s part of the fun and why they're sort after.

I am sure everyone will have their opinions of Tonex after listening to this, I just ask that you listen to the full interview, befor you make your mind up. Obviously, I still urge you to keep him, his family, those who stand beside him in ministry as well as his family in prayer.
My bad ya'll. I gotta reload the show. It'll be up within the hour. Sorry.

Laced in the fabric of the universe is the Lord's creative genius. Paul in Colossians 1:16 says that "for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible...all things were created by Him and for Him."
In 1992, Tonéx received the vision for this new movement. I have been following the Nureaun Ink movement for years, and I was blessed with the opportunity to become a part of it in 2003.
The first night I arrived in San Diego was May of 2003. Working on lyrics can make a man hungry, so Tonéx and I went to Taco Fiesta and ordered chicken-rolled tacos. As soon as we arrived back at his home, we greeted the Queen (Ms. Tonéx) then Tonéx gave me a tour of the house. Then we sat in front of the flat screen and watched a throw-back tape of Tonéx directing the choir in 1992. I heard some futuristic choir music that churches are still not brave enough to do now in 2007. This goes to show that even though it's 2007, and people are just now experiencing the Nureau movement, God has been working through Tonéx and the Inkians for years.
Five years after the call, in 1997, Tonéx released the original version of Pronounced Toe-Nay. People finally caught a glimpse of the INK in that album. The album could not be placed in a specific music genre because it was hip-hop, retro, soul, jazz, and the futuristic all in one.
Several years later, in 2001, the album MSS Dynasty: Hostile Takeover (see album review) was released [on Tommy Boy Gospel]. The project provided encouragement: nuggets that gave society a taste of the Ink's creative technique.
Aside from music, Nureau is a lifestyle. James 1:22 says to "be doers of the word, and not hearers only". The Nureau culture is all about applying the principles revealed in the Bible to our lives. Along with the concepts from the Word, we have our own look, style, walk and even a glossary. Try going to the store and picking up some "teenage yogurt!"
The magnitude of innovation we all bring to the table is what makes the Nureau movement unique. Our different talents also define us as Nureaupeans. A Nureaupean is a citizen of Nureaumerica. We focus on the Lord and allow HIS creativity and power to flow through us.
Many people try to be carbon copies of what is current in pop or hip hop culture. Claiming to "strive for excellence" while imitating the very thing others do is not what we are about. We strive to step up the quality of our life and work so that our character, music, language, outlook, and ink spillage reflect Christ. We do this so we walk in total quality. We make trends and people follow us. With the mindset of expanding our inventive approach, we are pushed to rectify the dark clouds of deception shadowing over the world.
Nureau is NOT just music, NOT just language, NOT just a Japanese look Tonéx wears to the Stellar Awards, and NOT just a cereal-like name. Nureau is a culture. Nureau is a lifestyle focused on Christ, while at the same time, being creative in whatever form we are perfecting, in order to be lamps with oil that burn in a world that so desperately needs answers.
Does this Nureau post belong here?
Anyway, I downloaded the show and I'm listening to it right now.
All I gotta say is... I hear the brotha's heart, and honestly? Honestly? My view hasn't changed on him at all. Despite the cussing and language, I saw through it (before) and see where he is coming from more clearly now. Needless to say, I'm glad to know that Tonex isn't what half of yall was saying he was.
Dude needs prayer and encouragment... like we all do.
Furthermore, just an observation... those who've had to "deal with issues" (while being saved) will have a VERY DIFFERENT attitude toward brothas like Tonex vs. those who have not.
"THEY MAD AT ME BECAUSE I CUSSED, BUT THEY CUSS ME OUT WITH SCRIPTURES, NOT EVEN USING THE BIBLE TO RESTORE, BUT TO KILL"
That's real right there. Sums up my view on some of yall on this board.
Anyway, I'm praying for the brotha... not because I think he ain't saved. I'm praying for the brotha cuz I know what it's like to be born-again and to feel like you are lost still.
Yo, Wade-O, thanks for doing this and posting it!!!
I am loading it back up now guys. Should be ready in a few minutes. Again sorry for this.
Moody, thanks for the kinds words bro. I'd appreciate if you dont share that version of teh show with anyone. There were some audio issues involved with it.
We all strive for holiness. We all should strive to be truthful also.
He said you came to him correct with it. I agree.
Imma keep it at that for peace's sake.
Truest talk ever on this board...especially the bold part. We must remember to NOT used scripts as arrows and stones. Worry about your lust, greed, anger, etc like dremarshall alluded to in his locked "...booty..." thread.
ok...i put the link up in the initial post. Sorry for the roller coaster ride ya'll.
You know, when I saw the locked "booty" thread, I knew EXACTLY what he was getting at, and I had to laugh a little about some of the responses. I'm like "okay, I just must be one of the few born-again Christians that has to deal with these types of things"
Interestingly enough, Tonex touched on the same mindset. I'll categorize it as "being born-again yet still finding out that you are a dawg without Christ".
Its time that we become more transparent so that those outside the church (and inside) will see that 1) people struggle (for whatever the reason - sometimes bad circumstances, other times because of our disobedience) but 2) people can have victory in Christ because of the grace of God. And again... those who have gone through the process (and truly understands God's grace) will have a VERY DIFFERENT ATTITUDE towards cats like Tonex than those who have not.
So whatever you repond with (regarding Tonex's interview), ask yourself first this... what if you were in Tonex's shoes? What would you have done in his situation? Would you have "lashed" out as he did? Would you have responded differently? When you've come to your conclusion, then ask yourself... "What has God saved me from?"
If you answer "He has not only saved me from Sin, but from MYSELF"... you understand, and you will have a response tempered with a lot more love and understanding (because you've been there) vs. "this brotha ain't saved, blah, blah, blah."
Lastly, please don't mis-interpret what I'm saying as giving folks a license to act a fool (or having an un-repentive heart). That is not what I'm talking about. But what I am talking about is people who have acted a fool... while born-again, yet God saved them from their foolishness and by the time He was done with them, they are like "Yes, Jesus! I can see now! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Those who have been forgiven a lot love a lot. The longer I walk this earth as a Christian, the more this phrase becomes real to me. I thank God that He has saved me from my folly, and I thank Him that no matter where Tonex goes, He has him in His hand, and the brotha will come out of this transformed even more into the image of Christ... because He is a good Father.
With this said, this will be the last post from me (for awhile) on the board. Got some new projects to work on and I need to be spending more time in the Word. If you want to holla for whateve reason, feel free to hit me up on the PM.
Much blessings to all of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus!
Bro what is your aim/yahoo/myspace?
...well, one thing I'll admit....I do have a few 4 letter words rolling around in my mouth right now.....you said it right Wade-O....surreal.
i just got done listening to the show, and i'm literally speechless. And I'm not an emotional dude, but i had tears in my eyes near the end of that joint.
yo that interview was just hard hitting. All i can say is pray for Wade-O and Tonex, cuz God is gonna use those cats in a powerful way.
and I find it good that he is not looking for cats to agree with him so much that they miss his cry for help....he is looking for people to see his heart and see his pain and he is looking to the church to help restore a brother of the faith.

BREXIT – Necessary Measures for EU Nationals
BREXIT – Necessary Measures for EU Nationals MBS Solicitors 2017-10-17T03:10:55+00:00
Brexit is singularly the most important issue in the UK right now. Following the EU referendum and the decision of the UK Supreme Court in R (Miller & Dos Santos) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, the UK Government are more determined than ever before to expedite the process of the UK leaving the EU.
Effects on EU Nationals
Although, there are no immediate effects, the future for EU Nationals and their family members is uncertain at present. The UK Government have not provided any definitive alternative to the current immigration system in place. As a result, this has led to misunderstandings, misinterpretations and a failure to appreciate the legal consequences of Brexit on the immigration status of EU Nationals and their family members.
The difficulty this poses for EU Nationals and family members is that when the UK Government formally exit the European Union, there will require to be a process by which EU Nationals and their family members will be issued with permission to stay in terms of the UK law.
Therefore, our advice is that EU Nationals take the necessary measures to apply for confirmation of a right of residence immediately and without delay to assist them in the future.
We can advise on applications for Registration Certificates and Documents Certifying Permanent Residence.
To qualify for a Registration Certificate, EU Nationals will require to show that they are currently exercising Treaty Rights. This can be demonstrated through either of the following:
Part-time or full time employment
Looking for work in the UK (jobseeker)
Studying in the UK and holding comprehensive sickness insurance
Being self-sufficient and holding comprehensive sickness insurance
To qualify for a Document Certifying Permanent Residence, EU Nationals will require to show they have exercised Treaty Rights for a continuous period of 5 years. This can be through one or a combination of the criteria above.
We have significant experience in dealing with all types of EU applications.
Brexit Consultation
The rules and regulations surrounding such EU applications can be complex. We offer an initial consultation in our office or via telephone for only £180 including VAT. The consultation will allow us an opportunity to assess your circumstances and advise you on your full range of options. If you wish for a written summary of our advice following the initial consultation, the total fee is £300 including VAT. We are also able to prepare and submit such applications on your behalf for a competitive fixed fee.
The Home Office fee for such applications is currently £65 but may be subject to review from time to time. The current processing time for such applications varies between 3 – 6 months. Usually, such applications require a valid ID Card or Passport to be submitted with the application. However, EU Nationals can arrange for an official copy of their passport to be taken by specified local authorities rather than submitting their physical Passports.

"The analogous texts on American modernism are two anthologies. One maps the impact of technology across the spectrum of the arts, from George Antheil's Ballet Mecanique to Busby Berkeley's musicals (Ludington 2000); the other explores race, class, and gender responses to the quicksilver shifts in markets and production, equating modernism with the embrace of mobile identities (Scandura and Thurston 2001). Both works focus on individual negotiations of the massive social changes in the half-century between 1890 and 1940: the demands of the industrial workplace; immigration and urbanization; ethnic consciousness and labor rebellion; adaptations of the body to machines; the emergence of a national media culture. Such experiential modernism registers "the simultaneous disenchantment and reenchantment of the world … both anaesthesia and shock, boredom and exhilaration" (Stewart 2001: 22).
"To be modern was to reject the wisdom of the ancients for self-authorization through experience. For such mid-nineteenth century figures as Whitman, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, and Dostoevski, an objective, transcendent ideal of beauty gave way to a relativist notion of the sublime (Calinescu 1988). Exposing one's self to the world — unaccompanied, unprotected — became the objective of the artistic (or intellectual) life; experiences became the equivalent of deeds. The self-conscious modern artist came into being as a seeker after new truths — a rebel, a pathbreaker, the avant-garde of an army-not-yet-born.
Certainly the novelists of Stein's Lost Generation — Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Dos Passos, among others — conceived of themselves in these terms. Their canonical works narrated the search of self-conscious bohemians for a floating community of cosmopolitan free-thinkers; their drunken adventures validated a free-spirited lifestyle achieved through engaging the dark side of life spurned by bourgeois Victorian society (sexuality, transience, criminality, substance abuse, poverty).

Home is the latest animated movie to be released by Dreamworks. Here's what we thought of it – The New Dreamworks Home Movie… Reviewed:
The Movie's Plot
When Oh, a loveable misfit from another planet, lands on Earth and finds himself on the run from his own people, he forms an unlikely friendship with an adventurous girl named Tip who is on a quest of her own.
Through a series of comic adventures with Tip, Oh comes to understand that being different and making mistakes is all part of being human, and together they discover the true meaning of the word HOME.
It is the first 3D animated feature to star a black character and the cast includes: Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin, and Jennifer Lopez.
What Our Reviewer Thought
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Sometimes you go along to these animated films thinking they are going to be formulaic, however this one was a bit different for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the main character was black, which makes a change, and secondly, the jokes were good. I particularly liked Oh's mixed up English e.g. "I is being your companion on this ship".
It's also good because there's no stupid noisy chase scene which always seems to finish these children's movies, instead it's about friendship and belonging, themes which everyone can appreciate, parent or child.

Victory at sea, cup-style. San Diego-based Stars & Stripes sweeps to 4-0 victory but site of 1990 races unsettled
By Stewart McBride Special to The Christian Science Monitor
February 5, 1987 | Fremantle, Australia
AMERICA'S CUP ``down under'' is coming back up, and with it the right to stage a 1990 Olympic-style regatta expected to draw competitors from a dozen nations and billions of dollars in jobs, tourism, investment, and tax revenue. Dennis Conner, the robust San Diego drapery retailer, and his boat, Stars & Stripes, ``Yanked'' back yachting's oldest and most celebrated trophy Wednesday by defeating Australian defender Kookaburra III in choppy Indian Ocean waters. The victory gave Conner's boat a clean 4-0 sweep in the best-of-seven finals, thus regaining the cup that Australia had snatched from him in Newport, R.I., 3 years ago.
No sooner had Conner's 65-foot gun-smoke-blue yacht barreled past the finishing line in the fourth and decisive 24-mile race than President Reagan reportedly ordered a chartered jet to Western Australia to carry the Stars & Stripes crew to the White House for a victory ceremony Monday. The crew will ride through Manhattan Tuesday in a ticker-tape parade, arriving back in San Diego Wednesday.
Perhaps not since the American hockey team defeated the Soviets in 1980 has an American sports victory aroused such intense national pride. The coveted ``Auld Mug,'' after all, had resided in the United States for 132 years until the Australians took it away in 1983, and Conner's triumph climaxed an all-out effort by various groups aimed at getting it back.
The Stars & Stripes triumph also marked the end of an arduous five-month regatta involving more than 350 one-on-one races among 16 teams from seven nations that collectively spent a staggering $200 million in hopes of winning the garish, 132-ounce Victorian ewer.
Conner's victorious entrance to Fremantle's Fisherman Harbor following his boat's final victory was greeted by 70,000 jubilant spectators. As Conner waved and smiled through lips thickly caked with his trademark white zinc sunblock, the skipper must have felt certain vindication for having ignominiously spent three long years labeled as ``the man who broke the longest winning streak in sports history.''
Until the defeat of Conner's yacht Liberty in Newport, Sept. 26, 1983, by Australia II, Perth millionaire Alan Bond's ``Wonder From Down Under'' boat, the United States entry had successfully defended the America's Cup since 1851, when the competition began. Yesterday's celebration was a fitting swan song for Conner, a 13-year veteran of six America's Cup campaigns. The former Army policeman, who refers to 12-meter yacht racing as ``war,'' and who wrote a book called ``No Excuse to Lose,'' is widely expected to retire from the helm this year.
Conner, son of a poor fisherman, grew up in San Diego hanging around the yacht club, as someone once put it, ``the way other kids hung out at pool halls.'' In the wake of Conner's recent victory in Fremantle, the big question still looms: Will Dennis bring the cup back to his hometown, making San Diego the fortunate host city of the 1990 America's Cup races?
Conner has estimated it will cost $30 million to stage the cup races in 1990. Speculation has arisen within the Stars & Stripes camp that Conner will auction off the right to host the America's Cup to the highest-bidding port city. Among the leading candidates are Long Beach and Santa Cruz in California; Newport (traditional home of America's Cup); Honolulu (where Conner trained last summer in preparation for the choppy seas and fierce Fremantle winds); or, of course, San Diego.
Selection of the host city, however, is not strictly up to Conner. It involves an America's Cup ``defense'' committee and a complex selection process stipulated in the contract Conner's Sail America foundation signed with the San Diego Yacht Club, whose flag Stars & Stripes flies. According to the agreement, within 30 days Sail America and the SDYC must select a committee of seven to 11 people, at least 51 percent of which must belong to the SDYC, which then has 30 days to decide the venue.
Dr. Fred Frye, commodore of the SDYC, told the Monitor that the yacht club's board of directors had unanimously voted to keep the cup in San Diego, that Conner had concurred, and that, given recent support from the port and US naval authorities, it was ``90 percent sure'' to be the site.
The biggest problem, he said, would be docking space. This year's challengers came from the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Italy, and New Zealand - and already Japan, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and Spain have announced their intention to compete in 1990.
Newport, ``could not possibly hold the cup,'' said Frye, because most of the boat slip space used during the 1983 America's Cup had been sold off since 1983 to condominium developers. Conner himself has a certain cool regard for Newport: ``I've been in three cups there, and I still haven't met the mayor.''

Our Lenten journey has several important markers, several special liturgical days. One of these remarkable landmarks is the "standing of St. Mary"—the day [in the fifth week of Great Lent] when at the evening service the entire Canon of repentance of St. Andrew of Crete is read, and along with it, the faithful listen to the amazing life of a woman acetic who lived in the late fifth-early sixth century—St. Mary of Egypt.
I remember when I was fifteen years old, I went for the first time to the Standing of St. Mary Service, and heard the Life of the saint. It made an indelible impression on me. Even now I remember this service in minutest in detail: the unforgettable feeling of the triumph of life over sin, which this Saint's Life impressed upon me. This feeling remains with me even now, two decades later; the life of St. Mary continues to amaze and inspire me.
I would like to note a number of remarkable moments in that life. First there is the figure of the ascetic monk Zosima, "of glorious life and gifted in speech, raised from childhood in monastic laborers and virtues." The image of the Elder who had lived his entire life far from the vanity of the world and its temptations, from his earliest years practicing asceticism, made worthy of spiritual vision—is this not the ideal Christian ascetic? The confirmation of this can be heard in elder Zosimas's question: "Is there a monk on earth who can be of use to me and show me a kind of asceticism that I have not accomplished? Could another wisdom loving desert dweller be found who has surpassed me in life or contemplation?" This question opens the amazing life of the ascetic woman, the history of a life so different from that of the Zosima, that you could even call it the direct opposite of the elder's life, like black-and-white, if it weren't for the second half of the story, which provides such an astounding contrast with the first half.
From the Saint's words we get a picture of the incompatibility of a sinner's inner impurity with the true life going on outside of it; not with the life of "this world" but with the sacred Cross, thanks to which the world still stands. It is certainly no accident that Mary cannot get in to the church during the service to precisely the Cross of the Lord—this most important holy shrine of Christians and the first symbol of Christianity. From apostolic times, the Cross of Christ was understood to be the new tree of life—the symbol of God's uniting with fallen man, the symbol of the path to the heavenly fatherland. A little later Christian apologists would treat the cross as a symbol of the whole of the world's creation, or more precisely what strengthens it, upholds it, fills it with meaning, and prevents it from dissolving into chaos. Mary wants to see the life-Giving tree of the Cross but she cannot, for she had dedicated her entire existence to what opposes the cross—sin, mad passions, deeds of death.
And now the time has come for her to see. Horrified at the inexorable reality—her alienation from the sacred, from true life, Mary for the first time turns her mental gaze within: "The word of salvation touched the eyes of my heart, showing me that the impurity of my deeds barred my entrance." Mary's entire being is shaken with a deep, heartfelt repentance; in tears she turns to the mother of God, begging her to open the way for her to the church, that she might worship the life-creating cross. Mary makes a vow to the Heavenly Queen to abandon her sinful life, renounce the world, and go wherever she might lead her.
Having turned into the path of salvation, Mary did not immediately become a saint. She had to pass through many trials, and overcome great temptations. The saint tells of her temptations in the Trans-Jordan desert, where she had been commanded from on high to go, far from the world, and again the details are just as realistic as they were in the narration of the sinful period of her life. The acetic tells how over the period of seventeen years since she departed into the desert, she lived "amidst thousands of dangers": She was drawn to her former way of life, to entertainments and pleasures. Lustful thoughts and the fire of passion scorched her heart. She warred with her passions as with wild beasts. It is beyond human strength to withstand such mighty violence from the devil, but God, as the Life shows us, strengthened her in her struggle. The story of St. Mary's temptations shows us the true cooperation between man and God in spiritual struggle. Here we also see the ascetic's colossal effort of will to reject temptations and sinful passions; we see also the presence of God's grace, illuminating the exhausted hermitess, and giving her blessed respite from temptation. Even more: we see here the link between human and divine will—the icon of the mother of God in the ascetic's consciousness. Mary the desert dweller counters all the evil one's calumnies with the Virgin Mary—the image towards which she strives with all her strength; her leader, to whom should promised to live a new life, and to fulfill the task that had been entrusted to her. The presence of the image of the Mother of God in St. Mary's soul is also the presence of God in her life, strengthening and transforming her. It is also the ultimate expression of all her yearning—to correspond to the image of the true human being, the true Mary.
The figure of elder Zosima continues to be quite noticeable throughout the entire Life of St. Mary. As we said before, the life of St. Mary of Egypt begins with the question posed by this monk made wise through the reading of sacred books, ascecis, and years: "Is there any monk on earth who can show me and give me something new, Some Is there a monk on earth who can be of use to me and show me a kind of asceticism that I have not accomplished?" From the Life of St. Mary we receive not only an unambiguous answer that, yes, there are ascetics who are greater, but we also notice a certain sinfulness in Zosima's question. First of all, we are given to know the relative nature of human measuring in the spiritual realm. No outward criteria can make a man righteous before God. The (formally) ideal monk Zosima pales in comparison with the former harlot, the unlearned desert dweller, the one who found within herself the boldness to call out to God from the abyss of her sin and to confirm herself in the word of God through the help of God himself. St. Mary ascends to sanctity entirely in God, without the support of a single step on the "ecclesiastical ladder" (traditions and cannons) in her spiritual ascent.
After the period of temptations and trials, Mary acquires blessed repose in God, but in this angelic state she presents herself as an earthly human: she forbids Zosima to tell anyone about her life until she has left this temporary life; she resist the elder's reverence for her, wishes to receive the holy gifts from the hand of a priest, asks that he pray for her, and shows concern for the churches, the kings, and the people. Despite the fact that the Saint renounced the world, she does not separate herself from the earthly Church, or from sinful mankind. Even at the recollection of the miracles the saint performed, the reader does not get the impression of a saint completely estranged from the earthly life— she continues to be a person on earth, while at the same time, a dweller of Heaven.
Nevertheless, the mystery of her sanctity, her transformed, grace-filled state, came to be only between herself and the one to whom she dedicated her life. Through Christ is St. Mary given the whole world; she needs nothing in particular, possesses everything in her communion with God—"I eat and clothe myself with the word of God, the Master of all things." Having acquired "the mind of Christ", the acetic possesses perfect knowledge of everything—"I never studied from books. Neither have I heard anyone singing or reading from them. But the word of God, living and effective, itself teaches men knowledge." Without a doubt, these words not only testify to the grace-filled, spirit-filled state to which she came after seventeen years of spiritual struggle in the desert. It is also an instruction to elder Zosima, who dared to consider himself perfect based on his scrupulous following of a traditionally correct life vocation, at which he had been placed from his early childhood. Mary, on the other hand, never sought the ideal way of life, but sought God Himself in Whom she attained perfection. The essence of this instruction helps us understand the remarkable theologian, ascetic, and monk—St. Maximos the Confessor. He distinguishes different kinds of knowledge of Christ—knowledge of Christ according to the flesh—this is the knowledge of God received indirectly through the letter, text, rites, history, or tradition. The knowledge of Christ according to the flesh isn't perfect, because "fleshly" measuring is imperfect in and of itself. Here the word of God is present, but not directly—it is diffracted through the thickness of linguistic, cultural, and other human layers. The person who knows Christ only through the flesh is imperfect in his knowledge of the divine—though he may know all the church dogmas, cannons, and texts of Holy Scripture. You see, human language (no matter which one) cannot express the word of God flawlessly, to the full. In full measure and perfectly, the Word of God Itself is expressed from Himself, in the Spirit; and to be a possessor of the Spirit is the portion of him who strives towards the Living God through the multitude of reflections and images of the Divine Word in the in the "human" sphere; who strives to behold the word of God directly, to make his mind touch the divine Word, pulling away the veil that envelopes Him. According to St. Maximos's thought, the apostle Paul witnesses precisely to this: Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more (2 Cor. 5:16). (Chapter on theology, 2:61). St. Mary called such knowledge of the Word of God the knowledge of Christ Resurrected. This knowledge can be obtained only through personal experience, as opposed to knowledge of Christ after the flesh, which is accessible to all.
St. Mary's ascetic labor surpasses Zosima's ascesis precisely by its all-conquering aspiration towards the Risen Christ. This is not even the ascetic labor comprised of some series of self-denying acts, but the state of the ultimate openness to God, to His action, which makes any ascetic labor, any action in the name of the Creator possible.
I am sincerely convinced that at the remarkable service of the Great Canon and "Standing of St. Mary" we can feel, comprehend, and understand the essence of Christian ascetic labor, co-standing with St. Mary in her fiery, bold striving toward the Savior, Who seeks out the soul of a sinner.
We need pictures to help us think, to help us digest and understand the truths given to us. What St. Andrew of Crete does in the Great Canon written by him, is to being to remembrance many characters of the Old Testament and a few from the New Testament.
