Omigron | Corona virus: Countries that closed their borders with the new variant of Govt-19 | South Africa | The world
Arzu November 30, 2021 6 min read
New variant Corona virus, Named Omigron The possibility of further spread, even after its center in South Africa was reported, continues to spread around the world with a new, increasingly widespread border closure, a confusing situation, but this was confronted by US President Joe Biden. He asked not to panic.

Biden asks that the borders be closed and that we not enter into "panic"
After Israel became the first country in the world to impose a strict border closure to protect itself from Omigron, there are already two confirmed cases in the country, with many countries joining in the decision to use the criteria for accessing controls. , Especially for travelers from South Africa.
President of the United States, Joe Biden today considers the Omigron variant to be "a cause for concern, but not for panic.", He assured that experts do not consider the need for "extra measures" in the country for this.
In a White House intervention with the U.S. government's chief epidemiologist, Anthony Fossie, Biden noted that the United States was "in a much better position" than it was at Christmas last year, and urged citizens to get a fortified dose of available vaccines. In the country, though he acknowledges that it is "almost inevitable" that the new variant will reach the United States "at some point".
As of today, the United States has imposed restrictions on travelers from South Africa and seven South African countries.

Montenegrin President Milo Djukanovic has criticized Kosovo and Albanian officials for supporting the ethnic Albanian coalition that won local elections held in the recently reconstituted municipality of Tuzi.
Montenegro's authorities said they will join Serbia and Kosovo in supporting the establishment of the RECOM fact-finding commission on the 1990s wars in the Balkans.
[…] Election authorities said on April 16 that with 97 percent of votes counted, Djukanovic won 54.1 percent, extending his almost three-decade-long dominance over Montenegro's politics.
After boycotting parliament for more than a year over allegations of election fraud, some opposition legislators have made clear that they intend to return to their seats next week.
Montenegro has formally joined NATO, with U.S. and Montenegrin officials sending subtle messages to Russia and the alliance's chief trying to allay concerns about the U.S. commitment to the alliance.
Eleven years after it gained independence, Montenegrin MPs voted to join the Western military alliance - much to the outrage of the large Serbian community in the country may of whose members demonstrated outside the assembly.

Garmin Overlander GPS review
Land Rover 110 2.5 NA diesel, A reg Hard Top
Land Rover/ Range Rover
Land Rover Series 3 300di 1975
See you at Malvern on 27 Feb!
Just some of the Defender line-up over the years : credit: © JLR
Production of the original Defender ended in January 2016, but that wasn't the end of the story by a long chalk, as Greg King explains…
Over the last three parts of this story I have taken you from the very beginning of Ninety and One Ten production, through to the introduction of the Defender name in 1990, and on to the last day of Defender production on January 29, 2016. I cannot think of another vehicle having been produced in one location continually for such a long period of time. Land Rover production ran from 1948 to 2016 – almost 68 years – at Solihull. Even the VW Beetle cannot come close to that!
The management team at Jaguar Land Rover made it clear on the last day of production that Defender would continue at a later date in a new form. At that stage in 2016, although not confirmed, it was intended that new Defender production would be launched in beginning of 2019. In fact, it was ultimately launched six months later than the original plan at the 2019 Frankfurt show.
It was clear that Land Rover needed to keep the Defender nameplate in the public eye and demonstrate the commitment the brand had towards Defender – the original Land Rover. Jaguar Heritage had been set up in 2013 to support the classic Jaguar market, offering workshop services, spares, and in 2014 the first of the Jaguar continuation models – the lightweight E-type. It had been intended for some time that this type of support would be offered to Land Rover models too.
The first Reborn Land Rover, which recently fetched almost $250,000 at a US auction
Ironically, on the final day of Defender production, with hundreds of journalists and VIPs witnessing the final 90 soft-top coming off the line, just 200 yards to their right, behind closed doors, the first Land Rover Reborn – Car Zero was in build in the engineering workshop at Solihull. With the help of Roger Crathorne and his protégé and historic Land Rover expert, Michael Bishop, Car Zero was just at the rolling chassis stage, having been fully stripped and documented a few weeks before. Almost directly after Defender production ended, some of the most experienced staff from Defender production, who had the skills and interest in historic Land Rovers, were selected, with the support of Series I experts, to join the newly-formed Land Rover Classic wing of the business.
So, it was in April 2016, at one of the largest classic car shows – Technoclassica in Essen, Germany – Land Rover Reborn was launched, where it was announced that 25 vehicles between 1948-1958 would be restored, initially at Solihull, in part of the building used for Defender assembly.
Meanwhile, within the core Jaguar Land Rover business, the engineering teams were getting their teeth into Project L663 – new Defender. Reflecting on this time, Rob Atkin, chief engineer, and a former colleague of mine at JLR, told me: "The wrong thing to do would have be in homage to the old car by just giving it a light brush over bringing it up to date – it wouldn't really address the needs of a modern vehicle. We probably needed to take a ten-year leap in one step – Porsche 911 is a great example of a product that started as one thing and has had several iterations through the years. If you look at 911 today versus the original car – imagine that in one jump – the development team had to put our brain in the same place."
The team were engaged to create an all-new vehicle – not a reworking of the original.
Works V8 build at Land Rover Classic sold out within days of launch
Back over in Land Rover Classic, with the Reborn project settled restoring vehicles, it was clear that some celebratory edition was required for the forthcoming 70th anniversary of Land Rover in 2018. For a number of years and during the initial stages of Defender final edition discussions, the want for a halo Defender product had been clear from the special vehicles team, and indeed, the Defender enthusiasts on the board of directors.
Back in 2014, two V8 90s prototypes using the 5.0-litre V8 AJ133 engine and six-speed automatic from a Discovery 4 US-spec vehicle had been produced for assessment, and everyone that drove the vehicles was blown away by their ability and performance. But the funds required to put into production meant that it wasn't economically viable as a project.
With Land Rover Classic now set up, and Defender out of production, there was the ability for bespoke rebuilds to be done on nearly-new Defenders, using the 5.0-litre V8 and the latest automatic transmission, the eight-speed ZF unit. The engineering work that had been started back in 2014 was dusted off and concluded over 2017.
New Defender prototype undergoing test work
One story that I do like is that a 90 and a 110 test vehicle were both driven all the way from the Midlands down to Morocco with three tonne trailers in tow. At the fringes of the Sahara, the trailers were unhooked, test work performed in the desert and the trailers hooked back up for the long drive home!
At the start of 2018, just ahead of the 70th Anniversary, the Defender Works V8 was unveiled, with 150 examples to be built as both 90 and 110 station wagons. I recall that the sales team at Classic were literally swamped with inquires – far more than anyone envisaged!
By this stage L663 was significantly through its development. Rob was telling me that obviously the team were protecting toughness and durability in the engineering of the vehicle (that was a given), but additionally they wanted a chassis that was 'usefully informative', so that it was fun to drive both on and off-road – "something that people really warm to in ownership".
It's also interesting that the technical capability – something that original Defender didn't have – was something that was included. Rob said: "If you did a Defender focus group, there wouldn't be very many people telling you that that's what they wanted. But when you give it to them, they suddenly realise that in the modern world they want to charge devices wirelessly and carry their families over long distances. It's now a 600-mile-a-day-car, or more, really comfortable and with room for all your kit."
The placement of the electronic control units for harsh environments was also considered. Apparently, almost all the ECUs within the vehicle cabin are high up to protect them from water and dust. As far as software goes, they have test vehicles they call 'vehicle in the loop', driven on rollers by robots so that they pick up the data in driving over 250,000 scenarios, 24 hours a day.
Journalists got a chance to properly test the launch vehicle themselves in Namibia
So, new Defender was launched at Frankfurt in 2019, initially as 110 only. It featured two 4-cylinder diesels, one 4-cylinder petrol and one 6-cylinder petrol with mild electric hybrid. One of the main launch activities was in Namibia where journalists had the opportunity to drive the vehicles in some fairly serious off-road scenarios. The feedback from the main automotive press was very impressive indeed, and reinforced that the vehicle had not gone soft. In JLR's eyes, it was purely a modern interpretation of what Defender should be.
It was interesting to ask Rob what makes the D7X platform unique for Defender over the D7U platform (that underpins Discovery 5 and Range Rover). "If you get the lower arms of the Defender and hold them next to a Range Rover's, you'll see one of them is slightly bigger, the ball joints are bigger, the bearings are bigger and the bushes are bigger, because they've been designed to take more load. If you actually look at the detail, you'll notice the load paths from the front of the car right the way through the structure are significantly bigger. We applied that thought to the whole vehicle."
Defender as it stands today –the range of 90 and 110 models
And so we move on to where we are today: 2021 Model Year Defender was recently launched, which includes the launch of Defender 90 models, and all engines moving over to mild hybrid battery technology, with diesels moving over to 6-cylinders, common with Discovery 5 at the same time.
It's clear to everyone that new Defender is very different to the old, and not a reworking of the original. Remember my comment in previous parts of this story, about the resistance from some enthusiasts about the move to coil springs in 1983, or the induction to electronics on Td5 in 1998? Is this so different? Unfortunately, legislation is something that even Land Rover can't get around. So, in all practical terms, Defender, for all the love we have for it, could not continue in its previous form.
New Defender, L663, is really intended to be a modern day version, protecting Defender's values. I guess only time will tell how relevant and well received it is as a true 21st century original Land Rover. And it will continue to evolve, because it has to. With the government's requirements of all vehicles to be electric by the 2030s, it'll be interesting to see how new Defender progresses, just as the original did.
In any case, original Defender continues to be reinvented. As I write, Defender Trophy V8 has just been revealed, another evolution to the original Defender under the Land Rover Classic wing of Jaguar Land Rover. With the enthusiasm and love we'll have for the brand, I'm sure the original Defender will live on for many years to come.
Greg King is Mr Defender. He started at Solihull in 1993 as a 16-year-old Land Rover-mad apprentice and went on to work on the 50th anniversary 90, Storm Defender, Tempest (Discovery 2), second-gen Range Rover Sport, the Paul Smith Defender, 2 millionth Defender and Defender Autobiography. He then moved to start with JLR Classic on Land Rover Reborn and Defender Works V8.

Deconstructing Miss Emma Woodhouse
Posted in Jane Austen Adaptations, Movie & TV Reviews, Period Drama, Regency Era	by Laurel Ann Nattress
The second episode of the new adaptation Emma (2009) aired last night on Masterpiece Classic. You can read my review of Emma and watch previous episodes until March 9th, 2010 at the Masterpiece website. As we move further into the story of Highbury's misapplying matchmaker, I thought it would be interesting to delve into her character in the novel a bit deeper and explore the different Emma's portrayed in the film and television adaptations.
Since it's publication in 1815, Jane Austen's Emma has had its share of advocates and adversaries. What impressed early readers was not that it lacked energy and style, but that its story was dull and uneventful. Even Austen's famous publisher John Murray thought it lacked 'incident and romance' and Maria Edgeworth, a contemporary author so greatly admired by Austen that she sent her one of the twelve presentation copies allotted by her publisher, could not read past the first volume and thought "there was no story in it." Ironically, what these two prominent and well-read individuals attributed as a weakness, is actually Emma's greatest strength.
If one looks beyond the surface, Emma is an intricate story focused on the astute characterization and social reproof which Austen is famous for. Its heroine, the privileged, self-conceited and spoiled Emma Woodhouse may not be as appealing as Austen's sparkling and clever heroine Elizabeth Bennet of Pride and Prejudice, but her character offers the reader a harder wrought and more rewarding dénouement. Like Miss Woodhouse who believes that she knows better than anyone else what is best for them, we must trust Jane Austen's instincts for what she believes is the best subject and narrative style. Since many scholars, critics, and readers attribute Emma as a masterpiece of world literature, I think Jane Austen has the final laugh on her early critics. Emma may be about nothing and lack romance, but what a pleasure it is to be so resplendently deficient.
Emma Woodhouse is a complex character that on first acquaintance is rather a pill. In the famous opening line she appears rather appealing, 'Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her,' but Austen quickly dispels the readers good opinion with an equally opposite retort, 'The real evils indeed of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages which threatened alloy to her many enjoyments. The danger, however, was at present so unperceived, that they did not by any means rank as misfortunes with her.' In those two sentences, we learn so much: she has every advantage in life that a young lady could wish for but is untempered and totally clueless.
Austen gave herself a great challenge in creating "a heroine whom no one but myself will like." In contrast with her other heroines, Miss Woodhouse does not have any social or financial concerns and thus no compelling need to marry. Therein lies the rub. We have no sympathy for her whatsoever. She's rich, she's spoiled and she's stuck up. Who indeed could possibly like such a "troublesome creature"? During the course of the novel, we witness her exerting her superior notions of who is suitable for whom as she matches makes for her friends with disastrous results. It is no wonder that Maria Edgeworth gave up reading Emma after the first volume. At that point, we have met most of the characters in Emma's world and are coming to fully understand her ignorance and misguided perceptions in relation to them. She is truly exasperating. Austen tests our endurance fully as the novel progresses and her heroine continues to make mistakes. It is a testament to her skill as a writer and deft comedian that she holds our fascination with the "busy nothings" of every-day country life in Highbury, a small village filled with endearingly flawed characters. The transformation of the heroine from spoiled and insufferable into a contrite, mature and likable young lady that you want to root for, is nothing less than remarkable. It is truly a shame that Edgeworth could not recognize the genius of Austen's sly sashay of characterization into a world that could be your own neighborhood. We can only account that, "One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other."
Miss Emma Woodhouse on screen
Doran Godwin (1972), with her regal repose and swan-like neck, gave us an elegant Miss Woodhouse that was more a toffee-nosed London snob than the country girl from the first family of consequence in a small Surrey village. Though I enjoyed her performance, I could never warm to her Emma and rejoice in Mr. Knightley choosing her as his Mistress of Donwell Abbey. After Mr. Woodhouse's demise, I envisioned them packing it up and moving to Town. This Emma was meant for superior refinement.
Alicia Silverstone (1995) as Cher Horowitz in Clueless, she gave us a contemporary version of Emma set in Beverly Hills infused with Valley-speak and designer fashion that was so totally fresh and outrageous hilarious that even after fifteen years it may be what she is best remembered for. Her Cher may have been a superficial cell phone wielding Emma who soul searches while shopping, but we were not only charmed by her innocence, but by her high-tech closet. Totally, fur sure!
Kate Beckinsale (1996) at 23 was the youngest actress to portray 21-year-old Emma Woodhouse, bringing a youthful vitality and naughty school-girl persona to the part. Her immature busybody was at times both annoying and redeemable. I was highly suspect that she would mature enough to be a good match to Mark Strong' assertive and angry Mr. Knightley. Their future life together was bound to be wrought with boisterous rows and passionate reconciliations.
Gwyneth Paltrow (1996) was another elegant and long-necked Emma Woodhouse but played the part more as a mischievous altruist, than the spoiled, conceited and misguided matchmaker that Austen intended. The fact that her comedic skills and suave polish suited the screenplay was a benefit too. Oh, and she actually got to say some of Austen's great lines. Screenwriter Douglas McGrath actually trusted Austen enough to leave more than a few of those in.
Romola Garai (2009) is the newest and most energetic Miss Woodhouse to grace the screen yet. Physically she fits the part perfectly and has the experience and maturity to play a complicated heroine closest to Austen's intentions. Early in the production she had an odd habit of exaggerated facial expression and popping eyes, but as Emma matures through the story we saw less of this and more refinement. Unfortunately, she did not get to say much of Emma Woodhouse's great dialogue, but the spirit remained, and I grew to appreciate her performance. How she will be ranked among the Emma's on the screen, we will have to wait a few years for a better perspective.

Pingback: Opinions of Jane Austen's Emma, from the period | .: StrangeBlog :.
I don't know which of the Emmas is my favorite. I think Beckinsale was my least favorite, as was the Knightley in that one. I like the Paltrow version, but I agree that her snobbery and loneliness didn't come into play enough in that version. I am enjoying this current version with Garai. I find her facial expressions a bit jarring, but I think she is true to form and I think Miller as Knightley across her is great, too. They have a definite chemistr, and I think Miller is more accurate in portraying Knightley as a very upright (somewhat rigid) man.
But I loved Jeremy Northam :-)
Laurel Ann, I'm so impressed by this essay!
JaneGS
Lovely post on the most intriguing of Austen's heroines–the older I get, the more I enjoy the company of Emma, though I'm afraid she might lump me in the same category as Miss Bates!
I'm currently diving into George Eliot and reading about her dedication to realism, and it strikes me that Austen, and especially Emma, paved the way for Eliot and realism. The character studies and portrayal of everyday life in Highbury is simply wonderful.
>It is truly a shame that Edgeworth could not recognize the genius of Austen's sly sashay of characterization into a world that could be your own neighborhood.
I think it's easy to forget that Austen forged a new style of literature, we take her and her legacy for granted.
Can't wait to watch pt 2 tonight, assuming I can commandeer the TV/DVR :)

I've watched Doran's version and Kate's version more times than I remember and I lurve them both for different reasons. But if I had to choose, it would be Kate's… she just seemed to suit the character I always had in my mind.
Emme Hox
Thank you for this wonderful assessment of Jane Austen's Emma.
I love both Kate and Gwyneth, however I voted for Kate because in my mind Emma needed to be a little more spoiled, a little more snobby and a little more full of herself. She played the sweet and innocent a little further than I imagined Emma to be.
Thank again for a beautiful analysis of all the past Emma's.
RegencyRomantic
What a thought provoking essay, Laurel Ann! It did give me pause…
As I have yet to watch the 1972 version, I'm just considering that last 4. I do love Kate Beckinsale and Gwyneth Paltrow in a lot of their films, but my vote will have to go for Romola Garai. Not just because of her acting, but because of her nuanced interpretation of Sandy Welch's script. I think Garai played the introspective scenes of Emma especially well (which I never really saw or noticed in other adaptations), and it has added another layer to my re-reads of Emma.
As to Clueless, I have never really 'associated' it to Austen in my mind's eye. I'll probably get a lot of "WHAT-EVER!" by admitting that, but it doesn't diminish the fact that I enjoyed this film tremendously!
Kathy Lovin
Of course, I love Jane Austen's Emma the best of all. Since I just finished re-reading it again last week in preparation for the PBS version, I agree that Romola Garai has the spirit of the real Emma. I had more trouble seeing the other actresses inhabit the role than I am currently having with Garai, so she gets my vote! I'm thoroughly enjoying the new Emma on PBS and am looking forward to next week's conclusion.
** I love reading all your posts, but I picked up a spelling mistake and I thought I would tell you, hope that's ok?!?
** In the 3rd paragraph you write, "shelf-conceited' :)

Oh thanks Melaine – not so great at catching errors! I will fix that now.
dailywordsandacts
This is an excellent post! I like the newest Emma best–despite the lack of original Emma lines and the rearranging of the plot, I felt like that actress was most like the person I imagined in my head while reading the book. (I even imagined Emma being a sort of "actress" in her own world, thus the funny facial expressions.)
My second favorite is Cher, though, definitely.

My BFF called right at the beginning of the 3rd episode and didn't take the hint that I was watching Emma. But people are more important than television shows, right? I'm so thankful for iTunes. They have Emma featured as a dramatic TV show and season pass was only around $7. Cheaper than going to the movies.

I recently blogged about Emma over on Random Jottings if anybody would like to take a look
love this site!

Thanks for a very well-written, in-depth and insightful analysis of the character of Emma. I'd like to think that JA likes her because of her honesty and readiness to admit faults, to own up to her errant way. I've enjoyed this new BBC production. I think Romola Garai is the best Emma I've seen, so far. Her animated facial expressions, which some find overly-exerted, are just right for a comedy like this. But I know, sometimes she just opens her eyes a bit too much like they're almost popping out, making it one comedic effect which could well be unintended.
Hi Arti, nice to see you. Thanks for your complements. *blush* Emma does redeam herself in the end by admitting her blunders. I also like that honesty that Austen gave her. I like Romola too. Just wished she had contained herself a bit more. My strongest objection to this new adaptation was the script. Very little of Austen's great language. A great loss IMHO.
Pingback: Emma (2009) concludes tomorrow night on Masterpiece Classic « Austenprose
I have loved the story of Emma for a long time and appreciate all of the versions I have seen (haven't seen the 1970's yet) for the different takes on the story they bring. Up until this point, I think I preferred the Kate B. version because it seemed the most "accurate" in feel although Mr. Knightley seemed a bit too angry at times and Emma a bit bratty. Gwyneth was just too perfect, like a character, not flesh and blood. I find it amusing that the very thing that Romola Garai is being most criticized for – exaggerated facial expressions and ungainly movements – is the very thing that I love about her performance. I think that perhaps since the very language of Jane Austen is more formal than we use today, many people think that all people acted in formal ways all of the time in her day and were not "real people". The very point of Emma is the growing up of the main character. At the beginning of the book, she is a young girl with a too high opinion of herself fed by (almost) all around her and Romola played her as a young girl. She is the big and favorite fish in a very small pond. It is the reappearance of Jane and the arrival of Mrs. Elton and Frank that bring new ideas into Highbury and make Emma check her own behavior and reassess her own opinions of herself. She grows up as the book goes on and Romola showed that in the way she "calmed" the actions of her portrayal down. I loved that. Of course, who can't help fall in love with Mr. Knightley and he is just played to perfection by Jonny Lee Miller with the right blend of criticism and kindness. My only complaint – the scenes deleted by Masterpiece Theatre. Can't wait until my dvd arrrives!!

Actually, I can't really see Gwenyth Paltrow's Emma as a "mischievous altruist". For me, her Emma comes very close to how she is described in Austen's novel. She seemed too much of the busybody – especially in regard to Harriet Smith's life.
I agree. I much prefer Paltrow's Emma over the 2009 version. The newer version is out of style in my opinion, much more like a soap opera than a regency style piece. In that last version Emma is sensual, emotional, cries often, which is the opposite of Emma Woodhouse. I think the 1996's Emma is much more faithful to the book. Paltrow's Emma is fundamentally elegant -something that is missing in most other versions-, restrained and with a sense of morality that coincides with how Austen described her. Emma Woodhouse is not intentionally mean or vain, but conscious of her position in a highly stratified society, which is not the same. I would like to see a version that is still more faithful to the book, with status differences as marked as Austen describe them, which is what I find interesting when reading Austen.

ACLU Files Legal Claim Against ICE On Behalf Of U.S. Citizens Arrested In Unwarranted Immigration Roundup
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 15, 2010
CONTACT: Mark Silverstein, ACLU Legal Director, 303-777-5482 ext 114
Hans Meyer, ACLU Cooperating Attorney, 720-838-9619
In a formal administrative complaint filed with United States Immigrations and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") today, ACLU lawyers blasted the agency for an unwarranted immigration roundup of dozens of Denver-area residents last April that included the illegal arrest and illegal search of United States citizens and legal immigrants who had done absolutely nothing wrong.
"This is a case of racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping at its very worst," said Mark Silverstein, ACLU Legal Director. "An ICE agent targeted our clients for speaking Spanish in an Omaha fast-food restaurant. Speaking Spanish is not a crime, nor does it provide any basis for immigration officers to start demanding papers or otherwise launch any investigation."
The ACLU's complaint was filed on behalf of Arquimides Bautista and Rosalba Artimas, both United States citizens, who live in the Denver area and are active vendors of Amway products. On the evening of April 1, along with several dozen other Spanish-speaking distributors, they boarded a chartered bus to travel to an Amway convention in Omaha, Nebraska. Arriving early the next morning, the bus stopped at a fast food restaurant so the passengers could eat breakfast. An ICE officer happened to be getting breakfast at the same time.
According to an ICE report, the Spanish-speaking ICE officer overheard the bus passengers speaking in Spanish and concluded that they had been traveling "for a while." The ICE officer suspected that the chartered bus was carrying what she called "a smuggling load." She called her superiors, who quickly sent reinforcements.
After the passengers returned to the bus, ICE officers swooped in. As ICE vehicles blocked the bus on either side, ICE officers, ordered the uniformed driver out of the bus and questioned him. The driver explained that Amway had hired his company, Global Transportation, Inc., to take the passengers from Denver to the Omaha Hilton for a convention. He also explained that he makes a similar trip to Amway gatherings every three months.
Ignoring the bus driver's explanation, three ICE officers boarded the bus and barked commands to the passengers. They announced they were from "immigration" and began aggressively demanding identification and questioning passengers about their immigration status They ordered the bus driver as well as the passengers to turn off their cell phones or else they would be confiscated. After checking a handful of the passengers' IDs, including the IDs of the ACLU's two citizen clients, the ICE agents abruptly decided to commandeer the bus and take all of the passengers into custody. Without providing any explanation to the passengers, the ICE agents directed the bus driver to an ICE facility, where the passengers were ordered to get off in groups of five.
ICE agents forced all passengers to empty their pockets, put their hands up against a wall, and submit to thorough body searches. The passengers were then confined in cells to await further questioning and processing.
After ICE agents were satisfied that Mr. Bautista and Ms. Artimas were citizens, they were released, but not until Mr. Bautista was fingerprinted and forced to pose for a mug shot.
"The Fourth Amendment applies to ICE officers just as it applies to any other law enforcement agency," Silverstein said. "ICE officers cannot forcibly detain persons and demand their papers unless there is a reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation. Speaking Spanish and traveling a long way does not amount to reasonable suspicion."
"The ICE officers had no legal basis for boarding the bus and demanding papers," said Hans Mayer, an ACLU Cooperating Attorney who also represents Bautista and Artimas. "This is especially clear after they spoke with the bus driver and learned that their suspicion of a so-called 'smuggling load' was nothing but a lurid fantasy. ICE officers clearly had no legal grounds for detaining, questioning, or arresting our clients, let alone searching them or keeping them in holding cells."
The ACLU's complaint was filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act, under which the United States Government can be sued for certain actions of its employees. In this case, the claims are false arrest, false imprisonment, and battery. If the administrative claim is not resolved within six months, the ACLU's clients can sue in federal court, where they can also pursue claims for violations of their Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.

Linus Torvalds Lambasts Open Source Programmers over Insecure Code
Written by Christopher Tozzi
Linus Torvalds's latest rant underscores the high expectations the Linux developer places on open source programmers—as well the importance of security for Linux kernel code.
Torvalds is the unofficial "benevolent dictator" of the Linux kernel project. That means he gets to decide which code contributions go into the kernel, and which ones land in the reject pile.
On Oct. 28, open source coders whose work did not meet Torvalds's expectations faced an angry rant. "Christ people," Torvalds wrote about the code. "This is just sh*t."
He went on to call the coders "just incompetent and out to lunch."
What made Torvalds so angry? He believed the code could have been written more efficiently. It could have been easier for other programmers to understand and would run better through a compiler, the program that translates human-readable code into the binaries that computers understand.
Torvalds posted his own substitution for the code in question and suggested that the programmers should have written it his way.
Torvalds has a history of lashing out against people with whom he disagrees. It stretches back to 1991, when he famously flamed Andrew Tanenbaum—whose Minix operating system he later described as a series of "brain-damages." No doubt this latest criticism of fellow open source coders will go down as another example of Torvalds's confrontational personality.
But Torvalds may also have been acting strategically during this latest rant. "I want to make it clear to *everybody* that code like this is completely unacceptable," he wrote, suggesting that his goal was to send a message to all Linux programmers, not just vent his anger at particular ones.
Torvalds also used the incident as an opportunity to highlight the security concerns that arise from poorly written code. Those are issues dear to open source programmers' hearts in an age when enterprises are finally taking software security seriously, and demanding top-notch performance from their code in this regard. Lambasting open source programmers who write insecure code thus helps Linux's image.

Egypt Dahabiya Nile River Cruise – Limited Edition
Immerse yourself in life on the Nile at the ideal pace, enriching your experience of these ancient cultures and histories through the expert guidance of a trained Egyptologist. Sailing by dahabiya is a more intimate experience, with visits to sites and islands others don't see – such as El Kab, the ancient city of Nekheb. Stay in Luxor's opulent Winter Place, an outstanding hotel built in 1886 by British explorers to host royal families from Europe and the East. Our Feature Stay Hotel. Explore the great open-air museum of Luxor, visiting sites such as Karnak Temple and the famous Valley of the Kings
Immerse yourself in the spirit of 1920s exploration on this seven-day River Nile journey. Egypt has long fascinated the worldly traveller, and if there were a golden age of travel, it could be traced to the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922, and further still to the publication of the first Egypt guidebook in 1835. Step back to those times and stay in a plush riverside winter retreat of the Egyptian royal family, enjoy full-board hospitality sailing the Nile on an elegant dahabiya (the Nile houseboat of yore), visit colourful Nubian villages still alive with ancient cultures, and explore must-see ancient sites such as the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Karnak. Retracing the footsteps of the great explorers, this limited edition Upper Egypt adventure shines a light on Nile life like no other.
Welcome to Egypt. Arrive at Luxor International Airport and transfer to your hotel. This is simply an arrival day, so you may arrive at any time (note that hotel rooms are generally only available from after midday). An important welcome meeting will be held at 6 pm. Other than that, the day is yours to spend as you please. Perhaps visit Ancient Thebes, the nearby Luxor Museum or the Luxor Temple, all of which are within walking distance. Your accommodation tonight is the superb Sofitel Old Winter Palace Hotel. Built in 1886, it is located on the Nile Corniche, directly across from the river.
Rise early and head into the Valley of the Kings. Buried under the arid hills here are more than 60 tombs of pharaohs, many richly decorated with reliefs and paintings. Explore this sprawling and spectacular place where discoveries are still being made. Tutankhamun's final resting place is also found here. After a visit to the three royal tombs and the tomb of Tutankhamen, continue to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, which is set in a spectacular natural amphitheater. See also the Colossi of Memnon – giant statues once part of an impressive colonnade. In the afternoon, visit Karnak, one of the world's most celebrated temple complexes; built over a period of some 200 years, it has elements dating back to 2055 BC. Your guided tour of the temple reveals its finest sections. In the evening, dine in one of the many restaurants of the Old Winter Palace, relax in the beautiful hotel gardens, or perhaps go for a stroll along the Corniche.
Nile River Sailing
In the morning, travel by road to Esna (approximately 50 km) and board your dahabiya sailing boat. These colonial-style, two-mast vessels are just 40 metres long and beautifully appointed. Take some time to unpack in your cabin before a visit to Esna temple and a short walk through the local markets. Set sail to El Kab, the ancient town of Nekheb, and explore the remains of its temples and tombs. Back on board, sail to your mooring place for the evening. Enjoy a dinner on the boat and watch the sunset from the tranquil banks of the Nile.
Sit down to a leisurely breakfast on deck, watching life on the Nile unfold as you sail for Edfu. Make a visit to the temple of Horus, the best-preserved of all the great temples of Egypt. Re-boarding the dahabiya, continue your exploration of the river Nile. If the wind is forgiving, there will be a stop at some of the small villages to explore and meet the local Nubian people before mooring for the evening on a small island. Dinner is once again served on board.
Sail to Gebel el Silsila, a vast necropolis dating back some 3500 years. Explore the fascinating ancient sandstone quarries and rock-cut chapels of Horemheb, Seti I, Ramesses II and Merenptah. Continuing upriver, the dahabiya moves toward the temple at Kom Ombo. Referred to as the double temple, this unique structure is in fact dedicated to Sobek, the crocodile god, and Horus, the falcon-headed god. The layout combines two temples in one, each side with its own gateways and chapels. Tonight is spent on the island of Maniha.
Sail to Daraw, which was once the last stop on the famous 40-day desert road between Sudan and Egypt. Explore the Souq al-gimaal (camel market) and take a walk through the village. Then, back on board, continue to the to Nubian village of El Koubania, near Aswan. Settle in for a final night on the dahabiya, celebrating with a farewell dinner on deck.
Bid farewell to your fellow travellers as the journey comes to an end. Disembark the dahabiya in Aswan after breakfast. Your tour leader and crew are able to arrange any onward transfers or Aswan excursions.

End: Aswan


When you want to set up a limited company, you will need to go through the Company Formations process. One of the requirements you will have to meet during the process is to supply Companies House with the address of your registered office.
When we register as a company, can we give our home address as the company's registered office?
Depending on the size of the company you intend to set up, as well as the number of people involved in your business, you can choose to give your registered office address as the physical address of your place of business, the address of the office where you run your business from, or if you are a sole trader setting up from home, you can use your residential address as your registered office address.
Can I register an LLP at my home address?
If you are looking to set up a Limited Liability Partnership, then you can choose to give your registered office address as your home address. This can work well for married couples or life partners that are looking to go into a business partnership together.
For partnerships that involve two or more people, you can choose to use one of the partner's home address as your registered office if all partners are in agreement and happy for this to happen. However, the willing partner must understand that their home address will be put on display on the Public register of companies that is held at Companies House, and any member of the public can access their home address through the register via the internet.
Do you need an office set-up?
Does a registered office address of a company need an office set-up?
Companies House require registered companies to supply them with a legitimate postal address for their registered office. This address has to exist in the real world, so this is why using PO Boxes are not allowed to be used as an official office address, because they are not a physical bricks-and-mortar address. However, this doesn't mean that you need to have a physical office space to be able to register your company.
You can use your residential address as your registered office, or you can choose to use the services of a Registered Office Address Provider, such as Your Company Formations, to help provide you with all the official company addresses that you need.
Can a company be registered with address of a shared office space?
The answer to this question is both yes and no. There are many shared office space and hot-desk set ups springing up across the country. These places provide great flexibility for freelancers, solo entrepreneurs and micro-businesses to work in a business environment without the need to rent dedicated office space.
Shared office spaces can help to keep the costs down for new enterprises and entrepreneurs that wish to operate a lean business structure while they establish and grow their business up to a decent size where they can sustain the costs of renting their own dedicated office space.
Shared office space owners should have a set of user rules and agreements in place that will dictate whether or not you would be allowed to use their address for your company. You should never assume that you can use the address of the shared office space as your registered office address without first checking with the building and operation owners.
In most cases, it would be wise to use an address that you can use for the long term while you concentrate on growing your businesses. It is understandable that you would want to keep your home address off the public register, so your best bet here is to use a registered office address provider such as us for your Company Registered Office Address.
Your Company Formations offer a range of company address solutions that means you can have the flexibility of working wherever you like in the country, but use our Central London EC1 address for your company without needing to rent any dedicated office space of your own.
Our registered office address services are growing in popularity because we offer a very cost-effective and convenient solution for many entrepreneurs, partnerships and small business owners that are looking to set up a limited company.
Can I use a virtual office address as my office address during my company registration?
Yes you can! With our range of Company Address solutions, you can register your new company with Companies House via our Company Formations Service, and use our Central-London office address as your official Registered Office Address for your company.
Can my registered office address be changed?
Yes. If you have already gone through the company formations process and have officially registered your limited company with Companies House, then you can change your registered office address quite simply by completing Companies House form AD01.
You can sign up for our registered office address service and change your address with Companies House and HMRC to our prestigious city address in the heart of London's business district. Companies House and HMRC will use your new registered address for your official company correspondence. Our professional mail management and forwarding service will handle your official mail. This will ensure that none of your important legal documents can go astray or become lost or mixed up in other mail.
What are the benefits of using your Registered Office Address Service?
Instead of displaying your home address on all of your company stationery and website, you can display our prestigious Central-London EC1 address instead. This will give your company a more professional image and impression that will impress potential new clients and customers.
Your home address will not be targeted by junk mail companies that will want to inundate your home address with flyers, leaflets and other marketing materials that you may not be interested in, and are also a pain to sort through and recycle.
Being a registered limited company with a prestigious London City business address can work wonders for your company image and credibility. This can be especially important when trying to win over and impress potential business partnerships and joint-ventures, or should you wish to seek extra financing from Business Angel groups or credit companies.
Your Company Formations provide quick and easy company formations services for those wishing to set up a Limited Company, as well as comprehensive business address services that limited companies need to comply with for all Companies House requirements.
Why not contact our friendly team today to discuss your registered office address needs. We are here to help!

Commercial broker Konsileo launches with own platform

Commercial broker Konsileo launches with own platform | Insurance Business
A new commercial broking start-up launched into the UK market on Friday, bringing a fresh perspective on technology and working culture.
London-based Konsileo is the brainchild of co-founders John Warburton, who is CEO of the new firm and former director of global marketing and digital strategy at Allianz, and chief technology officer Peter Henderson, who was most recently technical director of mental health start-up Big White Wall.
The pair are launching the brokerage with a proprietary technology platform which they say supports brokers and their clients from risk capture, to binding quotes, to servicing throughout the year.
Speaking at the firm's offices, Warburton told Insurance Business that Konsileo was developed as a response to a problem – which is that the broking industry "doesn't really seem to have innovated in terms of what it does at the core."
Many mid-sized brokers have been left unable to take advantage of emerging technologies as they are limited by the software houses they outsource to, Warburton said.

Konsileo's platform, which was developed by a team of 10 over the course of 18 months, aims to be an antidote to outdated software that will help brokers reduce burdensome levels of admin.
The system will avoid the need for re-keying client information, send requests for quotes to insurers in one click, and register quotes against the client's information when they are returned from the insurer.
"Highly skilled brokers with decades of experience are wasting their talents and skills copying and pasting information on clunky systems stuck in the 1990s," Henderson said.
"Our system will free brokers from 60% of the time they spend on admin."
Alongside technology, Konsileo is also driving a more flexible ethos in the workplace, giving brokers who join the company the choice to work remotely, or be based in a co-working hub.
Rather than having a boss, brokers will choose a mentor to support their professional development, which the founders say is a modern alternative to the more hierarchical management styles commonly found in the industry.
"Konsileo brokers will be free from reporting lines and free from the constraints of old policy systems," Warburton said. "They will have more time to spend with their clients and provide better quality data to underwriters. And they'll be happier at work while they're doing it."

You must get this achievement while playing with at least one other person, as your personal score in solo does not count as a team score. Nonetheless the map you choose is up to personal preference or the game, but I'd highly recommend having a decent team just so your chances of getting this achievement are better than with a bunch of randoms. There are waves of zombies that appear, just with no round indicator. It is important to know that the zombies you fight are gradually becoming stronger over time.
Purchases are free in Rush! You can purchase weapons, perks, and pack-a-punch (although double-packing is disabled) all without spending your points. Prioritize weapons and perks for close-to-medium ranges as that is where almost all of your zones confined to. Watch your down limit as you only have so many possible downs, but you can earn more by gathering enough points.
The achievement will pop in game as soon as your team collectively earns the 500,000 points. You also have the chance of earning the achievement for getting your personal score of 250,000, but it is possible to earn that solo if you prefer to work by yourself!


The 3rd Infantry Division monument was approved by President George Bush on September 29, 1988 in Public Law 100-456. It was dedicated on August 15, 1990. The memorial is located on the right (north) side of the curved part of Memorial Drive near the Canadian Cross and the Challenger memorial. The nine-ton gray obelisk is several feet behind its roadside marker. The bronze and stone marker lists battles fought by the 3rd Infantry. Famed World War II Medal of Honor recipient Major Audie Murphy, of the 3rd Infantry, is buried along the flagstone walkway in section 46 on the left (south) side of Memorial Drive.
The 3rd Division was organized at Camp Greene, North Carolina, on November 23, 1917. All units of the Division were in France by March 1918. The Division entered combat in May. On July 15, 1918, it distinguished itself in defense of the Marne River at Chateau-Thierry, forty-five miles northeast of Paris. This action earned the Division the proud motto, 'Rock of the Marne'.
The 3rd Infantry Division fought with distinction in World War II, participating in four amphibious landings in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and France. The Division played a crucial role in the defense of South Korea. It returned to Germany in 1957 as part of the NATO Defense Force and was there when the 3rd Division Memorial was dedicated on August 15, 1990.


Richard B. Dickinson applies engineering principles to study the behavior of living cells. He and his colleagues use a combination of mathematical modeling and quantitative experimentation, together with the tools of molecular cell biology, to better understand the relationship between cell function and the physical and molecular properties of cells and their surroundings.
This understanding is relevant to several biotechnological, biomedical, biomaterial and pharmaceutical applications. This field is often called cellular bioengineering or cellular engineering.
One major area of focus is cell adhesion, which is relevant to applications such as the design of biomaterials for biomedical implants, cell carriers for bioreactors in the bioprocessing industry, and filters to remove microorganisms in water purification.
"Our goal is to develop models that can predict the probability and strength of adhesion as a function of measurable molecular and physical properties of the cell and substratum," Dickinson says.
Another major focus is cell migration, which is relevant to a number of physiological processes, such as wound healing and inflammation, as well as to pathological processes such as tumor cell metastasis. Cell migration is also involved in the proper function of bioartificial devices in tissue engineering applications.
Dickinson also studies the intracellular mechanisms of actin-based motility using a combination of biophysical modeling, force-measurement techniques and molecular cell biology.

When I am angry I tend to shout swear and jump up and down, and then promptly forget all about it in about ten or fifteen minutes. But when I am reeeaally fuming I sit stone still and silent. I'm in one of those funks right now.
One of the reasons I started blogging was because I returned to work from maternity leave to find that I had lost my hard-earned grade, most of my staff and a lot of my work areas. I could do nothing about it. I fumed and fumed and sat there with literally no work to do. Then I thought about the other things in my life, the things that I enjoyed and was good at and that sustained me. I began to write.
Around the same time I came across the Muslim blogosphere and found pretty much a continuous stream of arguing, whinging and complaining about just about everything. I thought this is NOT what all Muslims are like. Our faith is beautiful, many of us are fortunate enough to have positive family lives and face a lot of the same issues that non-Muslims do, like being a working parent. We have creative lives and we have inner lives which can be so joyful. We also have a sense of humour, which was certainly not coming across. So I began to blog.
Anyway, back to the fuming. I have another big batch of typing on my desk. I DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH IT. It is not worth the sore fingers and aching wrists. I have a month till I leave this section and piles of other work to do. I should be grateful I have work, especially in the current work climate. I should just get on with it and get it over and done with – my notebook has a sticker I stuck on it that says "be led by what you are trying to avoid". I can't see any benefit of doing that right now. Aside from that, the particular person who has sent me the work is now calling me and chasing me to get it done (I got the batch ten minutes ago).
The last time I felt like this, it ended in a creative explosion for me: writing, blogging, learning to take pictures, engaging more with my crafts and intense introspection. I wonder where it will lead to this time?
As Salaam Alaikum, just hang in there and be patient. Just think good happy thoughts...think about your children smiling and laughing :) InshaAllah you will be feeling better soon.
Thank you for your kind words, I let my manager know exactly how I felt yesterday, I think that will be my new thing with people and the change I will be making - assertiveness.
Awww i am sorry , letting off steam is one way good for you.

Stacia Y. Davis
Stacia Yvette Davis sparked an interest in playing the drums at the early age of 6 years old. It was then that she would watch The Jeffersons and play the beat of the theme music with forks as drum sticks and encyclopedias as tom toms. Growing up in church, like other musicians', Stacia was often times mesmerized by drummers. It wasn't until the church had hired a new minister of music, Eric Johnson, that Stacia was afforded the opportunity to play for the mass choir in Sunday morning services. He would often time say to her, "don't play like a girl".
In high school, Stacia tried out for the high school band but was rejected because she didn't know how to read music. When the band director saw her playing during a church service, it was then that he expressed interest in Stacia playing for the high school band. Stacia respectfully declined and self-taught herself the basics in reading music.
Not only is Stacia faithful to her local church but she has also played for other ministries and gospel music artist such as: Bishop Charles Lyles and the New John Howard Gospel Caravans and Second Baptist Church Women's Department Celebration. She is inspired by John W. Howard, Jr., Jeff Davis and Calvin Rodgers.


When development companies design community associations with lakes and stormwater ponds, they envision them as beautiful aquatic resources to attract homeowners, connect with nature and enhance the surrounding property. Without proper management, however, these waterbodies can quickly become eye-sores that produce harmful algae and bad odors, lead to damaged and eroded shorelines, and result in displeased community members.
Most aquatic management professionals will tell you that when a property manager calls about an issue at their waterbody, it's often past the point of a quick fix. This is regularly the case when we arrive onsite to look at an erosion issue on a lake or pond embankment. Rather than finding a few problematic patches of rock or soil, we discover steep, unstable banks, deep washouts and extensive bottom muck caused by years of sedimentation.
Erosion is a natural process caused by wind, rainfall, poor design, cultural impacts like mowing and recreation, or simply an aging aquatic ecosystem. These erosion issues are all exacerbated by human disturbance. Unfortunately, erosion can also negatively affect your lake, stormwater pond, canal or coastline by causing loss of habitat and property value, nutrient loading, reduced storage volume and waterbody depth, and excess runoff. When topsoil is displaced, stormwater pipes and structures can be exposed and damaged. Overtime, erosion can lead to the formation of trenches and gullies that pose a serious danger to the public.
There are many ways to correct erosion with rip-rap, bulkheads, and other hard armoring systems; in certain situations, they may be the preferred option. In my experience, however, reestablishing the embankment utilizing vegetation, whether turf grass for recreation or native vegetation for habitat, has always been an excellent way to halt erosion and enhance community waterbodies.
There are several best management practices that can help stop erosion and establish vegetation, but a lot of them have a shorter life-span or planting restrictions. Fortunately, there is a new solution available for both the immediate and long-term stabilization of shorelines and hillsides.
Bioengineered living shorelines are the latest technology in erosion control. These patented woven systems offer an innovative, environmentally-friendly solution to immediately stop shoreline and embankment erosion and create a natural foundation for vegetation. The most effective systems available are designed using a combination of ecofriendly, biodegradable burlap sock-like fabric and heavy-duty knitted mesh. The socks can be filled with local pond muck and sediment, which is why many property managers choose to pair this solution with proactive hydro-raking projects. After the woven mesh systems are filled, they are then secured to the embankment and can be immediately sodded, planted with native beneficial buffer plants, or seeded through the mesh and fabric layers.
As an Environmental Scientist, I've utilized several different shoreline restoration techniques over the years, but this innovative system is certainly creating some excitement! It provides immediate stabilization while effectively filtering and buffering run-off water, removing harmful contaminants and benefiting waterways and water quality, all the while providing a seamless planting platform and long-lasting erosion control. Restored banks and hillsides can be walked on within just a few days, making bioengineered shorelines a fast, aesthetically-pleasing and long-lasting solution for most properties.


With the start of the Atlantic hurricane season just a few days away, Guy Carpenter has summarized the various forecasters' predictions for the 2011 season. AccuWeather, the Colorado State University (CSU), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Weather Services International (WSI) have released forecasts for the forthcoming season and there seems to be a general consensus that 2011 will see above-average activity with an increased risk of hurricane landfalls in the United States. The most recent forecasts are outlined in the table below.
Although an above-average 2011 season is forecast, hurricane activity is expected to be down compared to last year. The 2010 season was the third most active on record, with the formation of 19 named storms, 12 hurricanes and five major hurricanes. Despite this activity, there was little impact on the United States coastline. For the 2011 season, meteorologists said the main factors affecting the forecasts are the positioning of the Azores/Bermuda high (which influences the path of hurricanes), sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the Atlantic and the El Niño/La Niña-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
El Niño, a phenomenon marked by the warming of SSTs in the equatorial Pacific, tends to suppress the development of hurricanes (as demonstrated in 2009). Conversely, La Niña cools SSTs in the Pacific and typically enhances Atlantic basin activity (as seen in 2010). When announcing its 2011 forecast, NOAA said the current La Niña weather system is likely to dissipate in May or June but its lingering impact could reduce wind shear through the 2011 season and drive above-average activity. NOAA also stated SSTs across the Atlantic are up to two degrees Fahrenheit warmer than average.
Although NOAA did not make any landfall predictions for the coming season, other forecasters warn that the United States coastline faces a significant threat. The CSU said that the chances of at least one major hurricane making landfall in the United States in 2011 is 72 percent, notably higher than the long-term average of 52 percent. For the U.S. East Coast, including the Florida Peninsula, the probability of a major hurricane making landfall is 48 percent, again up on the average of 31 percent. For the Gulf Coast, from the Florida Panhandle west to Brownsville, the probability is 47 percent, compared with a long-term average of 30 percent.
AccuWeather has also stated there is likely to be an increased risk of landfalling hurricanes along the U.S. mainland in 2011. Specifically, AccuWeather sees an early season landfall threat in the western Gulf of Mexico and the southern Caribbean, with the Texas and Louisiana coastline particularly vulnerable. The threat shifts into the U.S. Southeast during the middle and late parts of the season, with a high probability of landfall along the Florida Peninsula and the Carolinas, AccuWeather said. AccuWeather also predicted that northern New England and the Canadian Maritime provinces were likely to be threatened towards the end of the season.
WSI added to the consensus when it warned that changing weather conditions could result in multiple landfalling hurricanes along the U.S. coastline this year. WSI said its hurricane landfall prediction model suggests two or three landfalling hurricanes this season, with western Gulf states particularly vulnerable.
Guy Carpenter offers solutions to help (re)insurers manage the risks associated with hurricane exposures. Assessing the impact and potential loss damage of hurricane activity on a risk portfolio can now be accomplished with more detailed information than ever before.
i-aXs®, Guy Carpenter's web-based data management platform, allows users to instantly translate vast amounts of data for specific portfolios or locations. The RealCat(superscript iX) module (patent number 7,949,548) helps users stay on top of their risks by leveraging worldwide real-time event information and satellite imagery to keep updated on potentially impacted policy locations. Users will be able to anticipate where losses will occur to facilitate swift and targeted responses to hurricanes, for example.
The Accumulation module of i-aXs can quickly identify exposure concentrations to help manage a book of business more efficiently while the Portfolio Management tool can reveal potential trouble spots in a portfolio and illuminate new opportunities for growth.
Guy Carpenter's CAT-i service provides clients with real-time bulletins on natural catastrophes (hurricanes, windstorms, earthquakes, major floods) that have the potential to incur significant losses to the (re)insurance industry. The service provides concise reports summarizing damage details and includes information on the type of event, location, event parameters and the likely magnitude of the economic/insured loss. The reports are updated as soon as new information becomes available. CAT-i subscribers receive the reports in real-time as they are published. CAT-i updates are also freely available on GC CapitalIdeas.com, Guy Carpenter's (re)insurance industry blog, along with additional Guy Carpenter industry-leading intellectual capital.

Q: Data Binding with parameter Angular 5 I would like to separate some data. The situation is the next. A GET a JSON from my database and it has some different columns. For example: id, name, message, type. I would like to bind the data into different divs depending on the type content.

So I want to bind just those data's which contains the required
  strings ( like = 'connection error')

In my html file:
<div *ngFor="let data of data.data ">{{data.type}}</div>

I want to show all the data from the JSON but on separated way. There are any way to give a requirement for the binding content ? Like this {{ data.type=''}} The requirement will be the type columns content.
I try it like this:
<div *ngFor="let data of data.data; let type = connection error">
      {{data.message}} {{data.id}}
</div>

<div *ngFor="let data of data.data; let type = request error">
      {{data.message}} {{data.id}}
</div>

My TS is:
import { Component, OnInit, NgModule, Input} from '@angular/core';
import { ErrorsService } from './errors.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-errors',
  templateUrl: './errors.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./errors.component.css'],
})
export class ErrorsComponent implements OnInit {

    data: any = [];

    constructor(private errorsService: ErrorsService) {   }

    ngOnInit() {
        this.errorsService.getAllErrors().subscribe(data => {
            this.data = data
        });
    }
  }

A: I'm not 100% sure what exactly it is you want but if you just want to do a simple check for the type you can do that with *ngIf or *ngSwitch.
<div *ngFor="let data of data.data;>
  <div *ngIf="data.type === 'connection-error'">
    There was a connection error
  </div>
  <div *ngIf="data.type === 'request-error'">
    There was a request error
  </div>
</div>

A: There are two approaches. If you want to solve it in the template you can create a custom pipe that filters entries with a certain type. Result would look something like this:
<div *ngFor="let data of data.data | type : 'connection error">
    {{data.message}} {{data.id}}
</div>

Here are the docs on how to setup a custom pipe: https://angular.io/guide/pipes
The second approach is TS-based. You can split them up in your TypeScript into 4 separate variables. This can be easily achieved with a Map.reduce() (or Map.forEach/filter&map as well)
