Rostec Corp.
Russia to Replace French Engine in KA-226T Helicopters with Locally-made Powerplant
09:30 AM, December 30, 2020
Ka-226T helicopter
Russia's Rostec has commenced developing a new engine, VK-650V, to replace the Turbomeca (Safran) Arrius 2G1 in its KA-226T multi-purpose helicopter.
Rostec, the holding company of Russian Helicopters announced today, "VK-650V engine, which will replace imported power plants for Ka-226T helicopters, has been assembled and installed on a test bench at the UEC-Klimov. Its preparation for engineering tests is nearing completion."
U.S. and European Union defence and dual-use products export to Russia have been barred under sanctions. This move blocks previously agreed deals for use of Western parts and equipment in Russian defense products.
The new engine has a take-off power of 650 hp. It can also power Ansat-U, VRT-500 and foreign helicopters of the same payload class. Based on the results of the upcoming tests, the engine design will be fine-tuned. In future, the power plant will also be adapted for use in drones and light aircraft.
VK-650V engine
It is planned to be certified in 2023; and by 2024, serial production of the engine will begin.
The test bench includes a new power frame and a hydraulic brake, a fuel-oil system specially designed for the size of the VK-650V engine, and a modern control room.
"The test bench was created in a very short time, a large cooperation of the UEC and Rostec enterprises is involved in the project. The task is to make a simple and reliable unit in operation, having an optimal combination of power characteristics, weight and dimensions, fuel consumption and price. We plan to manufacture prototypes in 2021–2022, and in 2023 to receive a certificate for this engine, and then start mass production," said Yury Shmotin, Deputy General Director - General Designer of UEC.
Arrius 2G1 engine
The VK-650V is being developed by V.V. Chernysheva, UEC-UMPO, Salyut Production Complex and KEMZ, which are part of Rostec State Corporation.
Russia inked a deal with Turbomeca for Arrius 2G1 engines for Ka-226T twin-engine helicopter with double counter-rotating rotor way back in 2009. This new variant is actually a derivative engine from Arrius 2, which was qualified over 20 years ago.
Certified in November 2011, the Arrius 2G1 is capable of a take-off power of 720 shp and a cruise power of 610 shp. Maximum power available via the emergency One Engine Inoperative (OEI) rating is 792 shp. The Arrius 2G1 is equipped with a Full Authority Digital Engine Control system (FADEC) and an overspeed protection system. Time Between Overhaul (TBO) is 3,000 hours.
Ka-226T Helicopters for India to Fly in 2021

I wrote to you a few weeks ago ('Long Journey Indeed') and I'd like to thank you for your prompt reply to it.
In your answer you stated: 'you are on the path to [heal yourself] because you understand now how healing works'.
Shortly after that, there was a session with my therapist, in which I felt I was able to connect to my pain, to speak OUT OF that pain, instead of talking ABOUT it.
In the days that followed, something happened which seemed like a miracle to me: all tension in me 'just' flowed away, I felt completely at ease, at ease in myself and with myself. In a way it was like I saw things for the very first time, as if all the world was new, as if I were reborn.
These may seem pompous words but it really was like that. I felt such immense relief! This burden under which I have lived most of my life, was simply lifted, gone. For the first time in my life I felt love for myself.
I can see that the whole experience had absolutely nothing to do with conscious, rational thinking, volition, analysing etc. Something 'down deep' in me had let go, had released itself. I could feel it in my whole body, which un-cramped completely, I slept like a baby and woke up rested (contrary to my usual fatigue).
To have experienced this, to know that this is possible, has given me a lot of trust.
she thinks he is so beautiful and so do I; she says: o, he looks so much like you!
AM: Thank you so much for your wonderful dream and your letter. So I wasn't far away from the truth and had the right intuition when I wrote you that you know how healing works. You will have times like you describe here, but also dark times when old memories will dare to come up, but you will no loger forget or abandon yourself. The dream shows it very clearly. Congratulations.

1,001 Ways to Be Creative: A Little Book of Everyday Inspiration By: Barbara Ann Kipfer | Book Review
April 11, 2018 April 9, 2018 2 Comments
1,001 Ways To Be Creative
By: Barbara Ann Kipfer
Genre: Self-help, Nonfiction, Creativity
Publisher: National Geographic
National Geographic | Amazon
Best-selling author Dr. Barbara Ann Kipfer is back with a new, beautifully illustrated book that will help you break free from to-do lists and find time to think and live more creatively. The third entry in Kipfer's successful 1,001 Ways series, this interactive list book will inspire anyone looking to unleash their creative genius.
In today's overscheduled world, there is often little room for creativity in our daily lives. 1,001 Ways to Be Creative shows you how to set your brain free, and will help you find the time and energy to play, dream, imagine, breathe, and explore. This inspirational book of lists offers a treasure trove of ways to bring a little creativity into your life, including ideas for innovative things to do, practical tips, and thought-provoking quotes. Interactive prompts inspire art projects, storytelling, innovative thinking, seeing like an artist, and more. With this energizing book by your side, your next Big Idea could be just around the corner!
Just grazing though this book sparked it's own independent burst of inspiration. I intended to only pick out 20 creative spurs that caught my eye right away. However, I quickly became so immersed with the passages and ideas that I lost track of how many I marked down to try.
There really isn't any one way of approaching these ideas based on a person's creative venture and like the author states in the introduction, you really can just skip around in this book until you find the best ideas that speak to you. For now, here are some of my favorites (with quotes):
#523: The first step to controlling you destiny is to imagine it.
#600: Can you play any song on an instrument? Try to expand your repertoire. — Considering it's been a while since I picked up my guitar and viola or even touched my keyboard, this one put a few things into perspective. I need to play more.
#596: Use popular culture to inspire your work. —This one jumped out at me because doing this takes me outside of my comfort zone when it comes to how I approached my creative projects, so this would definitely be an interesting one for me.
#557: Choose a creative project with the express purpose of learning something about yourself.
Quote: "They're only crayons. You didn't fear them in Kindergarten, why fear them now?" Huge MacLeod
#492: How would you like to contribute creatively to the world during your lifetime?
That's What She Said: Wise Words From Influential Women By: Kimothy Joy|Book Review
That's What She Said: Wise Words From Influential Women
By: Kimothy Joy
Genre: Non-fiction, Politics, Equality, Quotes
Publisher: Harper Wave/Harper Collins
Goodreads| HarperCollins | Amazon | Barnes & Noble
An artist and activist committed to the empowerment of women and girls has created a gorgeous illustrated volume, blending watercolor and short biography to showcase the contributions of more than fifty influential female leaders whose words and actions are a passionate call to arms.
Distraught by the results of the 2016 election and the realization that the nation was not ready for its first female president, Kimothy Joy found herself poring over the biographies of brave women throughout history—those who persisted in the face of daunting circumstances—to learn from their experiences.
Turning to art, Joy channeled her feelings to the canvas, bringing these strong women to life in bold watercolor portraits surrounded by inspirational hand-lettered quotes. With each creation, Joy found catharsis and hope. She shared her watercolors with her online community and encouraged everyone to raise their own voices and recharge for the battles ahead.
Now, in this beautiful gift book, Joy has gathered her stunning illustrations and quotes and paired them with surprising, illuminating biographies of her subjects to inspire women of all ages, races, and backgrounds. That's What She Said honors a powerful and diverse group of over fifty women—from Maya Angelou, Gloria Steinem, and Virginia Woolf to Sojourner Truth, Malala Yousafzai, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—role models whose words and insights remind us that we must never give up the fight for a more just and equitable society.
Reclaiming the derogatory cultural barb "that's what she said," this stunning book celebrates strong female leadership throughout history and empowers current and future generations to find their voices and inspire change in their communities.
Along with the ingenues idea of reclaiming a phrase that has been overtly sexualized, That's What She Said was such a breath of fresh air. It was hard to put it down and I found myself smiling with each turn of every page. I was happy to see that there were quiet a few women I recognized in this book and even more thrilled that there were others I didn't know much about at all.
The snapshots of their biographies and the selected quotes were all inspiring and comforting. It made me feel like I was getting to know these wonderful women personally on a level.
I'll Be Your Blue Sky By: Marisa De Los Santos | Book Review
I'll Be Your Blue Sky
By: Marisa De Los Santos
Genre: Contemporary, General Fiction
Publisher: William Marrow/Harper Collins
Released: March 6, 2018
Synopsis: On the weekend of her wedding, Clare Hobbes meets an elderly woman named Edith Herron. During the course of a single conversation, Edith gives Clare the courage to do what she should have done months earlier: break off her engagement to her charming, yet overly possessive, fiancé.
Three weeks later, Clare learns that Edith has died—and has given her another gift. Nestled in crepe myrtle and hydrangea and perched at the marshy edge of a bay in a small seaside town in Delaware, Blue Sky House now belongs to Clare. Though the former guest house has been empty for years, Clare feels a deep connection to Edith inside its walls, which are decorated with old photographs taken by Edith and her beloved husband, Joseph.
Exploring the house, Clare finds two mysterious ledgers hidden beneath the kitchen sink. Edith, it seems, was no ordinary woman—and Blue Sky House no ordinary place. With the help of her mother, Viviana, her surrogate mother, Cornelia Brown, and her former boyfriend and best friend, Dev Tremain, Clare begins to piece together the story of Blue Sky House—a decades-old mystery more complex and tangled than she could have imagined.
As she peels back the layers of Edith's life, Clare discovers a story of dark secrets, passionate love, heartbreaking sacrifice, and incredible courage. She also makes startling discoveries about herself: where she's come from, where she's going, and what—and who—she loves.Shifting between the 1950s and the present and told in the alternating voices of Edith and Clare, I'll Be Your Blue Sky is vintage Marisa de los Santos—an emotionally evocative novel that probes the deepest recesses of the human heart and illuminates the tender connections that bind our lives.
Without giving away too much, I'll Be Your Blue Sky, in my opinion, was not overly dramatic or heart pounding with suspense or anything. Nonetheless, the whole story felt lighthearted, kind of whimsical and slightly reminded me of a Hallmark version of Sleepless in Seattle with a stronger family backdrop (but only for the first chapter or so.)
Although this story centered on Clare and Edith's lives, while I was reading it the narrative felt universal to me. Clare's quest to really find herself, parallel to Edith's character who is so self-aware of who she is and the type of person she wasn't, really resonated with me as I was reading this book.

In this heartwarming collection of stories, readers meet 38 incredible dogs who have gone above and beyond the job description of best friend.
Each uplifting story provides an inspiring look at the animals who change our lives. Meet rescue dogs who learn to serve others, working dogs who go beyond the call of duty, and underdogs who surmount extraordinary challenges on the road to finding their forever home. This treasury of man's best friend features photographs and personal anecdotes from those who have been touched by the selfless love of a beloved pet.
As a new-ish canine parent (two years this June) and a lifetime pet owner, I loved this book. Some of the stories in this book about the the dogs and their new families were sad and really hard to read because I personally feel it is impossible to not adore animals.
Moreover, ignore the unique personalities that they all have. I also loved this book for the insight Walsh gives on dogs who are given second chances. As well as for the peoples' lives that are affected and enriched when they bond with them.
I understood how profoundly and deeply the lives of all the individuals who shared their stories in Love Unleashed felt because of the dogs (and cats too) that are in or have been in my life and how much caring for them and them carrying for me and my family has impacted our lives.
All of the stories in this book are wholeheartedly worth mentioning, but there were a few that really stood out for me.
Hooch, a French mastiff mix, who suffered severe abuse as a puppy which left him unable to eat or drink. Since his rescue, Hooch now works as a therapy dog for children.

Release: February 13, 2018
Publisher: Balzer & Bay
From Dan Wells, author of the New York Times bestselling Partials Sequence and the John Cleaver series, comes the third and final book in the dark, pulse-pounding, sci-fi neo-noir series that began with the acclaimed novel Bluescreen.
For all the mysteries teen hacker Marisa Carneseca has solved, there has been one that has always eluded her: the truth behind the car accident in which she lost her arm and a mob boss' wife, Zenaida de Maldonado, lost her life. Even in a world where technology exists to connect everyone's mind to one another, it would seem that some secrets can still remain hidden.
Those secrets rise violently to the surface, however, when Zenaida de Maldonado's freshly severed hand shows up at the scene of a gangland shooting. If Zenaida is—or was—still alive, it means there's even more about Marisa's past that she doesn't know. And when she and her friends start digging, they uncover a conspiracy that runs from the slums of Los Angeles to the very top of the world's most powerful genetic engineering firm. If Mari wants the truth, she's going to have to go through genetically enhanced agents, irritatingly attractive mob scions, and some bad relationships to get it.
Dan Wells's widely acclaimed series continues with his most shocking, pulse-pounding, and visionary story yet

Hanukkah Harvie vs. Santa Claus: The Chrismukkah Kerfuffle
By: David Michael Slater & Michelle Simpson (Illustrator)
Genre: Holiday, Religion, Interfaith, Family, Children's Fiction
Published Date: November 1st, 2017
Everything was going smoothly, a typical first night of Hanukkah. Or so Harvie thought! There was someone else in the house, and he had presents, too – Santa Claus! Hanukkah Harvie vs. Santa Claus is the hilarious and heartfelt story of how two holiday heroes wind up with the greatest gift of all: friendship.
A few months back, I was paired up with the author David Michael Slater for his book Hanukkah Harvie vs. Santa Claus. This lovely children's book center's its message on the existence of interfaith families and children. As the reader watches as Hanukkah Harvie and Santa Claus attempt to out present and upstage each other when Christmas Eve and a night of Hanukkah coincide with each other.
I was so thrilled to receive this book because one of my little cousins is Jewish on his mom's side and my half of the family follows a modern Christian path. I have found a few books that put interfaith children and families into primary narrative, but this was my favorite by far. And my cousin loved it too! Although he is learning equal parts of both religions/lifestyles it is something that just is for him.
There isn't a competition or boughts of upstaging one over the other and even while reading the book my cousin understood that and was commenting on how silly they were being. This brought a ton of laughs and enjoyment to my house and family, as well a very clear and inclusive message for children that I know other families will enjoy as well.
Not Your Villain (Sidekick Squad #2) By: C.B. Lee | Review (+Giveaway)
Amazing cover!!!
Not Your Villain (Sidekick Squad #2)
By: C.B. Lee
Genre: LGBTQ+, YA, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-fi
Release Date: October 5 2017

Bells Broussard thought he had it made when his superpowers manifested early. Being a shapeshifter is awesome. He can change his hair whenever he wants, and if putting on a binder for the day is too much, he's got it covered. But that was before he became the country's most-wanted villain.
After discovering a massive cover-up by the Heroes' League of Heroes, Bells and his friends Jess, Emma, and Abby set off on a secret mission to find the Resistance. Meanwhile, power-hungry former hero Captain Orion is on the loose with a dangerous serum that renders meta-humans powerless, and a new militarized robotic threat emerges. Everyone is in danger. Between college applications and crushing on his best friend, will Bells have time to take down a corrupt government?
Sometimes, to do a hero's job, you need to be a villain.
I loved this book so much that I had trouble putting it down. I feel like I talked about how C.B. Lee gives the reader a conventional and non-conventional narrative atmosphere last time, but just in case I didn't, I think readers of this book will love, as I did, the way theme of love and friendship are blended into the story with this amazing amount of ease that you almost forget you are reading a story.
The main characters are just so relatable. I can usually tell when I'm reading a story even if I am really into a book, but not when it comes to the Sidekick Squad series. From start to finish, the narrative incorporates a consistent and present bubble of humor, honesty, progressive relatability, acceptance, love AND excitement!
Reading this book you get so swept up in the funny, cute and friendship "aww" moments that when the action starts you're just as shook as the rest of the characters!
At least that is how I felt. I love when books keep surprising you because it gives you the opportunity to never be bored with surprises and adventures in every single chapter.
Unforgivable Love By: Sophfronia Scott | Review
Unforgivable Love: A Retelling of Dangerous Liaisons
By: Sophfronia Scott
Genre: Historical Fiction, Retellings, Romance,
Publisher: William Morrow/ HarperCollins
HarperCollins | Amazon | Barnes & Noble| Book Depository
"A dazzlingly dark and engaging tale full of heartbreak, treachery, and surprise." – Kirkus
In this vivid reimagining of the French classic Les Liaisons Dangereuses, it's the summer when Jackie Robinson breaks Major League Baseball's color barrier and a sweltering stretch has Harlem's elite fleeing the city for Westchester County's breezier climes, two predators stalk amidst the manicured gardens and fine old homes.
Heiress Mae Malveaux rules society with an angel's smile and a heart of stone. She made up her mind long ago that nobody would decide her fate. To have the pleasure she craves, control is paramount, especially control of the men Mae attracts like moths to a flame.
Valiant Jackson always gets what he wants—and he's wanted Mae for years. The door finally opens for him when Mae strikes a bargain: seduce her virginal young cousin, Cecily, who is engaged to Frank Washington. Frank values her innocence above all else. If successful, Val's reward will be a night with Mae.
But Val secretly seeks another prize. Elizabeth Townsend is fiercely loyal to her church and her civil rights attorney husband. Certain there is something redeemable in Mr. Jackson. Little does she know that her worst mistake will be Val's greatest triumph.
Unforgivable Love is a retelling of the classic Les Liaisons Dangerous, but I'm not familiar with the original story. What I do know is that this book is filled with this laid-back, passionate and vibrant imagery elegance from start to finish. The love and details of music associated with Harlem and the rippling complexity of each of the characters draw a number of favorable points for this book.
Besides being set in one of my favorite eras, I found that the cockiness of the main characters was something that really kept me hooked almost right away because their confidence and self-assurance was not only entertaining but intriguing; almost daringly pulling the reader into their games with them. Likewise, the characters brought an infectious intensity, twists and at times bits of humor in the narrative. Like others will, I'm sure, I really loved the well laid out social intrigue between Mae and her inner circle.
Underneath Mae's calculating motives and cool demeanor, there's a girl so hungry for love that I couldn't help but empathize with. It is clear that the loss of her closest and dearest friend, and first true love has turned Mae against the world and the core motivations behind her plan regarding her cousin comes from a place of pride, ego, rejection and old wounds that haven't healed around her heart.

There was a funeral service in Cambridge today.
One I was unable to attend.
A woman who nurtured my love for reading, and my love for books.
A woman who always told me how smart I was, how pretty I was, and made me believe I could do anything - achieve any goal. She would always, always smile and throw open her arms when she saw me coming. She was magic and kindness. And gentleness.
She was the last of my Wilkinson aunts and uncles. A loving, hugging, laughing, fun loving family. They left me with memories I'll hold dear in my heart forever.
Oh...Miss Kaye, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Aunt was a beautiful lady.
I'm so sorry, Kaye! She sounds like a truly amazing and inspiring lady.
Kaye, I am so very very sorry. What a loss for you.
So sorry to hear of your loss. The photo of her is lovely. She sounds like an amazing woman who past on many of her fine qualities to you. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
One begins to feel so alone as the older generation passes.
My thoughts are with you, Kaye.
So sorry Kaye. Those "last of the generation" loses are very hard to take.
I am glad that she gave you the love of reading and the confidence to do whatever you want in life. It has stood you in good stead.
I can see a resemblance, Kaye. I think it's that beautiful smile. I'm so sorry. It's always hard to lose loved ones, but particularly when they were such an important part of making us the people we are. Hugs, Kaye.
I'm sorry, Kaye. Your description of Aunt Belle is inspiring.
I'd like to be the person people look back and say "always threw open her arms for a hug." I'd especially love my kids to think that. Perfect way to capture her and remember the many ways she was so special.
Y'all are dear. Thank you.
Yesterday was a tough day - you know how they go.
I wanted badly to be in Cambridge for the service and be with my cousins.
Instead, one of the things I did was drive a little over an hour one way down the mountain in the fog and rain to go to the Social Security office. Then back up the mountain in the fog and the rain. Then I had a sandwich, a glass of milk, a little bitty pitty party and a 2 hour naps. LOL! I do love a nap.
Y'all. If you don't have a local Social Security Office, and if you don't have anything other than the normal retirement process to file - do yourselves a favor. do it on-line, or over the phone.
Feeling MUCH better today, in part because of all of you.
AND in the process of planning a Wilkinson family reunion in June with my cousins.
Vicki - you summed it up perfectly.
How wonderful that you had such a woman in your life to nurture and inspire you. Like other commenters, I'm sorry for your loss.
She was clearly well loved, and isn't that one of the most marvelous things about living?

Survey shows a quarter of primary school students are bullied twice a month
A recent survey has revealed that a quarter of primary school students are bullied at least twice a month.
The survey looked at over 1,600 students across eight primary schools in counties Louth and Monaghan, reported the Irish Times.
And bullying wasn't just limited to the classroom and schoolyard.
Of those bullied, six percent of students (between fourth and sixth class) were victims of cyberbullying at least twice a month.
The issue has been on the rise among youths, and schools have been struggling to cope with it, said professor James O'Higgins Norman.
As director of the national anti-bullying research and resource centre at Dublin City University, he gave a speech at the launch of KiVa - a new anti-bullying program.
The internationally-endorsed program will be integrated into the policies of eight primary schools and will ensure that teachers are trained on how to prevent and address various types of bullying among students.
The survey also found that nine percent of primary school students said they bullied others at least three times a month, showing just how needed this new program is.
The director said: "We know the long-term effects of those victimised are negative and can result in people leaving school early, having low self-esteem and finding it harder to integrate and trust groups of people later in life.
"Some research even suggests it is along the lines of post-traumatic stress because witnessing bullying and trying to manage yourself in such a way that you are not bullied, can have a very negative effect long-term on children."
The same children will be surveyed at the end of the academic year to see how effective the new program has been.
Hopefully, if it has a positive impact, these policies can be implemented nationwide and help decrease the amount of bullying in schools.

Family Law – Who owns the lottery winnings in a property settlement?
The Full Court of the Family Court recently handed down an interesting decision in Elford v Elford [2016] Fam CAFC relating to the division of lottery winnings in a property settlement.
The Court dismissed a wife's appeal that she was entitled to a greater share in the property pool which consisted mainly of lottery winnings. The Court upheld the trial judge's decision that the winnings were not a joint endeavour but rather that the husband had made the sole contribution to the winnings.
The decision has come as a surprise to some who expected that the lottery winnings would be treated in line with the concept of 'community property' in matrimonial property proceedings and be divided equally between the spouses. Instead the take home message from the decision is that the Court may exercise its discretion to see that lottery winnings are not divided where one spouse makes the sole contribution to the winnings.
In 2003, Mr and Mrs Elford began co-habitation and then married 2007. They separated in 2012. The husband, aged 68 was 21 years older than the wife who was 47 years of age. The wife had three dependent child from a previous relationship who lived with the parties during their time together. Significantly, the husband and wife's finances were largely separated for the 9 years they were together. During the time of their cohabitation but before they were married, the husband won $622,842 in lottery winnings from a tattslotto ticket. In 2011, the husband suffered a stroke which left him blind and unable to read. The couple separated 12 months following this.
The property pool consisted largely of the lottery winnings. Other significant assets included the investments from the lottery winnings and the husband's bank balance. The total value of the property pool was $1.4 million.
At trial, Mrs Elford was awarded 10% ($51,000) of the property pool. Mrs Elford appealed this decision seeking a 32% share in the property pool.
Grounds of appeal
Whether the trial judge erred in treating the lottery winnings as a 'special contribution' by the husband instead of assessing the contributions 'holistically';
Whether the trial judge failed to give sufficient weight to the wife's contribution as homemaker and parent;
Whether the trial judge gave adequate reasoning for the assessment of the wife's contribution
That the trial judge's decision was 'plainly wrong and manifestly unjust' (at [8])
Decision on appeal
The Full Court confirmed the trial judge's assessment of the wife's contribution as 10%, finding that the husband had made the sole contribution to the lottery winnings.
The critical question the Court had to consider was how each party's contribution to the lottery winnings should be viewed. When the wife was asked under cross examination why she thought the winnings could be treated as a joint contribution, she responded 'because we were in a relationship'.
The Court explained that a lottery winning will be treated as the fruits of joint partnership, in a marriage where both parties are:
'…in receipt of income and where their marriage is predicated upon the basis of each contributing their income towards the joint partnership constituted by their marriage, the purchase of the ticket would be regarded as a purchase from joint funds in the same way as any other purchase within that context and would be treated accordingly' (at [17]).
However the Court cautioned that lottery winnings will not be treated as fruits of a joint partnership where the parties conduct their affairs in a way where this conclusion would not be appropriate. The Court held that this was the situation in this case. The husband and wife led financially separate lives each having their own separate bank accounts. Therefore the Court held that it was not appropriate for the winnings to be divided as the fruits of a joint partnership. The Court pointed to their critical facts:
The wife had not contributed financially to the ticket;
She did not pick the winning numbers;
The husband had been purchasing weekly tickets with the exact numbers since 1995;
At the time the ticket was purchased, the wife and husband had been together for less than a year;
The ticket was in the husband's name;
The funds were deposited into the husband's bank account (at [42]).
As to the other grounds of appeal, the Court confirmed that the trial judge had exercised his discretion appropriately, having regard to the totality of the circumstances, and how these should be expressed in monetary terms.
The Court's decision here is an important one. It explains that lottery winnings will be dealt with in property settlements according to contributions dynamic that prevailed within the relationship. Where parties deal with their finances together, winnings will be treated and divided as the fruits of a joint endeavour. However where spouses live financially separate lives and one party makes the sole contribution to the ticket, then they will be entitled to the winnings to the exclusion of the other party. In this case, it was easy to ascertain that the parties led separate financial lives and thus the Court found it appropriate to regard the husband as the sole contributor.

Bundana begins...: Rainbow Quilt... Part IV... Complete!
It's finished and I am proud to show you the last stage of the making of my Rainbow Quilt!
First off, after finishing the formation of the quilt, I used my organic cotton batting and some REALLY fluffy (not organic) wadding. I created a batting-wadding-batting sandwich and then placed my front and back onto the sarnie. At this point I would just like to confirm that buying organic is really worth the extra cash, its luxurious and chemical free. I just couldn't source any organic wadding that would arrive in time, so I used some standard wadding from my local (and only) fabric shop I have available to me here in the West of Ireland.
When I had pinned everything together... I made, by hand, my own bias tape. I wanted to make 60mm bias tape, no bias tape maker goes up to that size, so I sat and made my own. Firstly I cut 12 cm strips, ironed them in half and then, like folding a letter... I pinned the bias together. Ironing as I went. It took some time and was a pain to do, but this is exactly the size I wanted- so worth it, ultimately.
Then, with a deep intake of breath, I sewed it all together, ensuring that underneath of the bias tape was being caught as I went, which it was... yay.
I struggled with the tension of my Toyota; it seems to decide to change the tension randomly as I went along. I stopped, unpicked and re-sewed, however it did it again. In the end, I went with the flow of the tension changes and promised myself that when I get a new machine, I will go back and sort this out. It's actually not that bad at all; I just can't get it perfect which I always strive for.
So here we are... this is my finished quilt! I am so happy with the finished size, colours and how the Klona Tan bias tape (and I also used this for the backing) has complimented the white and every shade of the spectrum of this quilt.
.... my book recommendations are always on the left of this blog on a slideshow, for your convenience!
Beautiful! Really love all triangles and the colours! Well done!
Lola, you must give it a go... it's fab!
How beautiful! The little lady is going to love the quilt - well done!
So pretty!! I love all the colors. I'd love to make a chevron style quilt.
Hats off! It was really worth all the trouble!
Very pretty, love the different patterns!
Oh my goodness, this is such a beautiful quilt - I've always wanted to try making one, and yours is super inspiring!
Awesome job - quilts are treasures that you're sure to keep for years and years to come!
This is so lovely! Am sure it will be a big hit with the little miss. Very inspiring too - I have some fat quarters to be made into a quilt but as I've never made one before I'm not sure where to start. Think I just need to get on with it.
Wow! This is really pretty. I love how you kept the colors the same in each row, but switched up the prints. Very cool!
Oh I do love the white background! The colors pop!
Gorgeous! Love the colour scheme!

Q: How to prevent react router 5 to render DashboardLayout component below specific route? I am trying to create a route that works as follows:
 <Route path='/home' exact component={Home}/>
{loggedin &&
<DashboardLayout>
<Route path='/settings' exact component={Settings} />
<Route path='/edit' exact component={AdMaker} />
</DashboardLayout>
}

If I am logged in, the DashboardLayout is rendering which I dont want if the route is /home. What should i do? [Please recommend methods other than switch]

A: There are many different way to do it, one of them is checking the pathname
let location = useLocation();

let checkIsHome = () => {
    return location.pathname?.includes('home')
}

<Route path='/home' exact component={Home}/>
{loggedin && !checkIsHome() &&
  <DashboardLayout>
    <Route path='/settings' exact component={Settings} />
    <Route path='/edit' exact component={AdMaker} />
  </DashboardLayout>
}

A: Use the useRouteMatch in the parent component to determine if the current route is the "/home" path and render the DashboardLayout wrapper component or a React Fragment wrapper.
Example:
const isHome = useRouteMatch("/home");

const LayoutWrapper = loggedIn && !isHome
  ? DashboardLayout
  : React.Fragment;

return (
  ...
  <LayoutWrapper>
    <Route path='/home' exact component={Home}/>
    <Route path='/settings' exact component={Settings} />
    <Route path='/edit' exact component={AdMaker} />
  </LayoutWrapper>
  ...
);

An alternative is to render a non-"/home" route that renders the LayoutWrapper. For this you can provide an array of paths you want to render with the DashboardLayout.
Example:
const LayoutWrapper = loggedIn ? DashboardLayout : React.Fragment;

return (
  ...
  <Route path="/home" exact component={Home} />
  <Route path={["/settings", "/edit"]}>
    <LayoutWrapper>
      <Route path="/settings" exact component={Settings} />
      <Route path="/edit" exact component={AdMaker} />
    </LayoutWrapper>
  </Route>
  ...
);

OFC, using the Switch component would simplify this all a bit. It's a bit unclear why you wouldn't want to use it. The reason the Switch component is useful and helps is that it exclusively matches and renders routes and you won't need to pepper the exact prop over each and every one of the routes.
Example:
const LayoutWrapper = loggedIn ? DashboardLayout : React.Fragment;

return (
  ...
  <Switch>
    <Route path="/home" component={Home} />
    <Route>
      <LayoutWrapper>
        <Switch>
          <Route path="/settings" component={Settings} />
          <Route path="/edit" component={AdMaker} />
        </Switch>
      </LayoutWrapper>
    </Route>
  </Switch>
  ...
);

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the town hall meeting attended by the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, respectively, through the spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Coumcil, Festus Kayamo (SAN), listing 6 lies allegedly told by them during the meeting.
The town hall meeting which held in Abuja on Wednesday, January 30, was moderated by Kadaria Ahmed and aired live on Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).
Peter Obi claimed that out-of-school children grew to 13.5 million under this administration.
That Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as a Customs officer, said there was nothing wrong at that time with setting up a company that had dealings in the Ports that were under customs supervision.
Truth: The Code of Conduct for Public Officers was first enshrined in the 1979 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Atiku Abubakar co-founded the company, as a serving customs officer, three years after the 1979 constitution came into operation.
According to Section 1 of the 5th Schedule to the 1979 Constitution, a public officer shall not put himself in a position where his personal interest conflicts with his duties and responsibilities. By establishing a company involved in Port-related business at a time when he was an officer in the Nigeria Customs Service charge with managing the Ports, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar definitely put himself in a position where his personal (business) interest conflicted with his duties as a public officer.
