Please leave this tag connected to your child's bookbag for the entire year, as it will assist in the dismissal process each day.
ALL students will be required to wear their IDs starting on day 1 of school, September, 8th.

Fescue Turf – Brown Patch Fungus: This fungus creates brown patches in the lawn, eventually causing grass to die, leaving bare spots.
Zoysia Turf – Large Patch and Dollar Spot Fungi: Large Patch is the most damaging. As its common name implies, this fungus creates large dead patches in the lawn. Dollar spot gets its name from appearing as large Silver Dollar size spots throughout the lawn. This fungus weakens the thickness of the grass in these spots and looks unsightly.
Bermuda Turf – Bermuda is fairly tolerant to most fungus damage but can have an issue with Dollar Spot.
Fungus is a microbe that already exists in our soils. Whether it becomes an issue in a lawn depends on several variables which include: 1) ability of the turf type to "fight" the fungus or as stated by growers "tolerate" the fungus, 2) the soil temperature that "wakes up" the fungus, 3) the moisture level of the soil surface and grass blades that are sufficient enough to support fungal growth.
Since fungus microbes are present in our soils, fungus can at best be only "controlled" but not "eradicated." This means that lawns which exhibit fungus activity will usually have an issue with fungus every year. The best control is avoid over-watering from irrigation systems, and to apply an appropriate preventative or suppressing fungicide product just before and during the season of fungus activity.
Solterra Maintenance Clients have the option to be placed on a program that will include their property in the schedule for fungicide applications as the timing is appropriate. This program is outside of the standard lawn treatment programs which are setup to control weeds and fertilize lawns. Therefore, there is an additional charge for the fungicide program and is normally invoiced after each treatment has been applied. The number of treatments needed each year will depend upon the fungus type being treated and the weather conditions for that year. For Large Patch Fungus and Dollar Spot, the number of treatments needed is typically three (3). For Fescue brown patch, the number is typically five (5).
Contact Solterra's Office or your Account Manager to have your property added for fungicide treatment.

Martin Madidi Fayulu (* 21. listopadu 1956 Kinshasa) je opoziční politik, poslanec a podnikatel z Konžské demokratické republiky. Je vůdcem strany Závazek pro občanství a rozvoj.

Dne 11. listopadu 2018 byl sedmi opozičními vůdci vybrán za společného kandidáta opozice na prezidentský úřad v prezidentských a všeobecných volbách. Jedním z důvodů byla i skutečnost, že nejznámější kandidáti opozice měli své kandidatury různými cestami zablokovány. Volby proběhly dne 30. prosince 2018. Ve volbách skončil podle předběžných výsledků na druhém místě. To vše v zemi, ve které nikdy v historii nedošlo ke klidnému předání moci.

Životopis

Vzdělání
Studoval ekonomii na francouzské Univerzitě Paříž XII, dále Institut supérieur de gestion de Paris a také European University of America v San Francisku, kde získal titul MBA.

Kariéra
Je bývalým výkonným ředitelem firmy ExxonMobil z let 1984–2003, naposledy v Etiopii a v zemi byl doposud znám především jako podnikatel.

Politika

Jeho zapojení do politiky započalo v roce 1991, kdy se zúčastnil Svrchované národní konference, která sdružila delegáty z různých regionů a organizací, aby bojovaly za pluralitní demokracii. Mobutu Sese Seko, autoritářský prezident Zairu (jak byla Demokratická republika Kongo kdysi nazývána), tehdy po kritice umožnil, aby konference proběhla. Poté však ignoroval její výsledky.

Fayulu se do politiky zapojil na plný úvazek až od roku 2006. V parlamentních volbách v roce 2006 a 2011 byl zvolen poslancem Národního shromáždění. V roce 2009 založil stranu Závazek pro občanství a rozvoj, která i s ním má tři poslance.

Lots of plastering progress in a very short space of time - the interior walls are being finished very quickly.
Before all the internal walls have been built, we thought it would be good to hide a time capsule.
We've finally made the plunge and ordered bathroom sanitary items.


Hey guys, today is going to be a busy Monday, so I probably won't be able to upload a Manicure Monday. I might not even have time for one this week, since I'm taking the SAT on Wednesday, and I have an AP Stats test on Friday.
Since I most likely won't be able to have a MM this week, I decided to do a short post on the nail polish I got yesterday.
I got one from Target and 4 from HEB.
The L'Oreal one is from Target, and the rest are from HEB.
With flash so you can see the colors a little better.
This was $4.99 at Target, but they're slightly cheaper at HEB. I think they were $4.17.
The same kind in 145 Lav-Endure.
Because these polishes are new, they are $4.94 at all stores, but you can find buy 2, get $3 off coupons in magazines. I got mine in the new Allure, but I know they also have them in People's.
I got this one for $1.17! It was originally priced at $3.67, but at HEB, they had a $2.50 off coupon for items over (I think) $3.50.
They only drugstore that I know of that sells Orly is HEB. Not only do they have a a decent selection of colors, they also always have the older ones on sale. This color was $1.99. Because of the "pixie" theme, there was even a little fairy charm that came with it. HEB also had other colors on sale, mainly pinks and reds.
So that's the quick nail update for this week! Hopefully, I'll be able to post again in a couple of days, but if not, I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the week!

West Berkshire War Memorials
Newbury Remembers
Geoffrey Trevor-Roper
Private 57835 Geoffrey Trevor-Roper, 32nd (Service) Battalion, The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment)
Geoffrey Trevor-Roper.
(de Ruvigny)
Geoffrey was born on 27 December 1885 in Mold, Flintshire. He was the second and youngest son of George Edward Trevor-Roper and his wife Harriette née Trevor-Roper of Rhual Isa, Mold. Despite being the second son he was actually his parents eleventh and youngest child having no fewer than nine elder sisters: Alice Marion (born 1868), Mabel (1871), Helen (1873), NoraH (1874), Winifred (1876), Violet (1878), Eveleen (1880), Florence (1881) and Gwendoline (1882). His elder brother was Charles Cadwaladr (1884).
His father, George, was a solicitor with a practice in Mold, close to his father's estate of Plas Teg. George's eldest brother Charles James Trevor-Roper inherited the estate and its Jacobean mansion. It was Plas Teg that led to the family's adoption of their double-barrelled surname when Charles' great-grandfather, Cadwaladr Blany Roper inherited it from his cousin the Dowager Lady Dacre he added her family name, Trevor, to his own.
In 1895 George died and Harriette moved the family from Wales to 17, The Crescent, Bedford, from where Charles and Geoffery attended Bedford Modern School. In 1901 their uncle, Charles James Trevor-Roper, died without children and Charles inherited the Plas Teg estate and the family moved back to Wales for a while; Geoffrey moved school to Dinglewood in Colwyn Bay, where he represented the school at cricket.
Information regarding Geoffrey's career choices after school is not forthcoming, though he is to be found in 1913 living in a house his mother was renting in a house called Pevensey in Bycullah Road, Enfield. At this time he is recorded on the local electoral roll as renting a room in his mother's house. This may sound like a more formal approach to living at home, but was probably an artifice to satisfy the qualification requirements for entitlement to vote. His mother, of course, was not qualified as women had yet to get the vote in parliamentary elections.
To date no entry has been found for Geoffrey in the 1911 census, perhaps he was out of the country? His brother Charles was touring Australia that year with a touring theatre company, it is even possible that Geoffrey accompanied him on this adventure.
After war was declared Geoffrey soon enlisted, joining the Royal Fusiliers on 4 September 1914. He crossed to France in November 1915. Eight battalions onf the Fusiliers landed in France that month, the 17th to 24th (Service) Battalions, it is likely that Geoffrey was serving with one of these battalions at that stage; later he must have transferred to the 32nd (Service) Battalion, which was one of the four infantry battalions in the 124th Brigade, 41st Division. It is not known when Geoffrey joined this battalion. His change of battalion may indicate a period spent in hospital. Men were often sent to a new battalion when returning to the front after recovering from illness or wounds. What is clear is that he was with the 32nd in September 1917.
The battalion war diary includes a six page report (below) on the battalions activities from 17 - 23 September as they marched up to the front near Mount Sorrel and attacked German positions. The report is an interesting view of yet another disappointing attack among many in this series of battles, overall known as the Third Battle of Ypres or Passchendaele. The action that the 41st Division was involved with from 20-25 September was the Battle of the Menin Road.
The failure of such attacks to go to plan is clearly demonstrated in this extract from the war diay: The Battalion had captured the first two objectives (which had been assigned to the attacking Battalion in front of it) and was unfitted for any further effort beyond holding the ground gained. The majority of their officers (14 out of 18) were casualties and the 10th Queen's (the 'battalion in front') had 'ceased to be a fighting unit'. In the end of three days of action they wer
Geoffrey died in the first stage of the battle as the battalion moved forward and into the German lines, as reported in the local paper:
Newbury Weekly News, 18 October 1917 - Local War Notes
Pte Geoffrey Trevor-Roper, of the Royal Fusiliers, who was killed in action on September 20th, was the younger son of the late Mr G E Trevor-Roper, of Nold, and of Mrs G E Trevor-Roper, of Donnington-square, Newbury, his elder brother, Captain (temp Major) C C Trevor-Roper (Hants Regiment) of Glar-Teg, Flintshire, having died on August 3rd, of wounds received in action. The officer commanding Pte Trevor-Roper's Company, writes:- "His death was that of a soldier, having been sniped in the head whilst attacking an enemy dug-out. He showed the greatest gallantry and daring, and reached almost the furthest point reached in the action of the early morning of September 20th. His death was instantaneous."
There are several errors in the above report - notably the misspellings of Mold (Nold) and Plas Teg (Glar-Teg).
Geoffrey's name on Newbury War Memorial below that of his brother, Charles.
(centre column)
Locally Geoffrey is remembered on the Newbury Town War Memorial and the Speenhamland Shrine. He is also remembered on memorials at Bedford Modern School, Bedford and Mold War Memoral, Flintshire. They may well be more personal family memorials in the churches on the family's Welsh estate.
Geoffrey's brother Charles served in the Hampshire Regiment and also died in the 3rd Battle of Ypres a few weeks before Geoffrey – his promotion to Major was announced in the London Gazette a few weeks after his death.
The family left Newbury soon after the end of the war, Geoffrey's mother Harriette died in 1920.
The Trevor-Roper surname appears to be unique to this family, all six servicemen of this name, three from each world war, who are recorded in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's Debt of Honour database are related.
Appendix: Report from War Diary WO 95/2544
OPERATIONS, 20th to 23rd September, 1917.
32nd (S) Bn The ROYAL FUSILIERS
1 Concentration
The Batttalion marched from TATINGHEM (St Omer area) to MURRUMBRIDGE CAMP, LA CLYTTE, in three consecutive days.
17th Moved to RIDGE WOOD
Night 18th/19th moved to MOUNT SORREL area, digging in about 500 yards W of CANADA STREET TUNNELS (Bde Hdqrs) – Battalion Hdqrs in TUNNELS.
At dusk on 18th evening enemy put creeping barrage, mostly 4.2 and 5.9 HE, across the area causing 20 casualties, including the Battn Signalling Officer (Wounded)
2 Assembly
Night 19th/20th Battalion moved into Assemble Position in file along CLEMSONS LANCE to SHREWSBURY FOREST, its front resting on the road running North from just West of LOWER STAR POST, its right being immediately behind LOWER STAR POST and its left on the road 250 yards North of that point. Assembly completed 1 hour before zero with two casualties.
In support on the Right of the Brigade Sector, 50 yds in rear of the 10th "Queens" (the attacking Battalion of the Right Sector) whose waves were closed up so as to occupy 75 yds depth from front to rear of the Battalion.
The 17th KRRC, 39th Division, on the right, the 26th Royal Fusiliers, supporting the 21st KRRC, on the left.
Battalion dispose as follows:-
"A" Coy (right) and "B" Coy (left in front line with "D" Coy (right) and "C" Coy (left) in support.
All Coys with 2 plattons in front wave and 1 platoon on 2nd wave, each wave being a line of sections in file.
The whole Battalion closed up to a depth of 75 yards.
4 The Advance
At Zero hour, 5.40am (Summer time), the Battalion advanced in close formation immediately behind the 10th "Queens", thus escaping the enemy barrage which dropped a few minutes later well behind the Battalion – the assembly having been carried out without being observed by the enemy's forward posts.
There was no obstacle to the advance in the first 200yds, but at about that point very heavy machine gun fire was opened from JAVA DRIVE on the left front from shell holes and from the trench opposite the centre, causing very heavy casualties amongst the 10th "Queens" and also amongst the Battalion.
The attack was definitely held up in the centre and the majority of the officers of the Battalion became casualties, including the Acting Adjutant and two of the Company Commanders, a third being hit but remaining at duty.
The 10th "Queens" ceased to be a fighting unit but "A" Company, under 2nd Lt CHRISTIE, pushed on to the right, and "B" Company, under the CSM, got forward on the left, moving out of the Battalion Sector.
This relieved the pressure on the centre and the whole line was enabled to progress, though the check had lost the Brigade the benefit of the barrage.
In spite of this there was no serious opposition encountered between the RED and the BLUE LINES, though the enemy Machine Gun Fire and sniping from the opposing ridge was heavy and accurate.
My 9am the BLUE LINE was captured but the units were extremely disorganised, and owing to the heavy casualties, which amounted to about 50% of the Battalion, it was found impossible, in face of the MG fire to organise a further advance.
The Battalion had captured the first two Objectives (which had been assigned to the attacking Battalion in front of it) and was unfitted for any further effort beyond holding the ground gained.
At about this period the 17th KRRC on the right were reinforced by a battalion of the Cheshire Regt and a portion of the latter, seeing how thin our line was, took up their position on the left of our right party.
A portion of the Left Company of the Battalion had moved so far across to that flank that they finally dug themselves in on the opposing slope about 200 yards beyond the BASSEVILLE BEEK, on the extreme left of the Bde Sector, together with a party of the 26th Fusiliers, while parties of the 21st KRRC and 18th KRRC were behind them West of the BASSEVILLE BEEK.
Thereafter the Machine Gun fire of the enemy, partly from the opposing slope and especially from the rather low ground opposite the Division on the right, became and remained, very serious, making movement, even by individuals very hazardous, and effectively preventing any movement by bodies of men.
The sniping too was very accurate.
At about 4pm and 6pm the enemy were reported to be massing opposite our front for a counter-attack, but our SOS Barrage was prompt and prevented any developments.
The Brigade was reinforced by the 123rd Brigade and orders were given for the 23rd Middlesex to assemble on the left of the BLUE LINE and attacked the GREEN LINE at 9.30am on the 21st in a SSE direction.
Great difficulty was experienced in assembling on the somewhat vague line then being held in the face of continual Machine Gun fire and increased shell fire. The advance was begun, several dugouts were captured and cleared, but after about 300 yards the advance was definitely held up by Machine Gun fire from undamaged concrete dugouts and from trenches.
During the morning very effective Machine Gun fire was brought to bear on the opposing ridge from 8 Machine Guns posted just behind our RED LINE and also from rifles in the BLUE LINE, but by noon the attempt was abandoned and the BLUE LINE became again the ultimate line of the ground captured in these operations, and was held by mixed elements of the two Brigades.
The Battalion was relieved on the nights 22nd/23rd and 23rd/24th.
5 Artillery
(a) Our Barrage At Zero hour the barrage gave the impression of being some 350 yards away instead of 150 yards, and in fact the attacking troops being held up near the start, never got really under it. The distance of the smoke and dust cloud was undoubtedly due in part to the fact that nor HE was observable in the "A" Barrage, and this employment of a shrapnel "A" Barrage appeared to be ineffectual in keeping down the fire of the forward enemy Machine Guns.
(b) SOS Barrage This was exceedingly prompt and effectual.
(c) Enemy Barrage Started well behind our assembled troops and was only spasmodic during the whole of the 20th.
On the 20th night and during the whole of the following two days and nights it was very heavy on the area from the original Front Line back to the 18 pounder line, with occasional heavy bursts on the forward area.
6 Trench Mortar Battery
Did not come into action, They might be very useful if brought up well after the advance when there would be a better chance of the teams with their ammunition, arriving more or less intact. They could be most usefully employed in barraging Strong Points against which it would be impossible to employ a fresh artillery barrage without a good many hours delay.
7 Machine Guns
(a) Ours: The Machine Gun Barrage fire was, of course, unobservable during the advance, but during the consolidation of the BLUE LINE it appears to have been a valuable addition to the Artillery Protective Barrage.
The Machine Gun allotted to Battalions reached a splendid position immediately behind the RED LINE and were extremely useful in harassing the enemy on the opposing ridge at a range of 950 yards. During the 21st they found many targets on that ridge and were of great assistance.
(b) Enemy: His Machine Guns in the forward line, both in dugouts and in trenches, were unaffected by the shrapnel barrage and the morale of the teams was up to a high standard – they fought their guns until flanking parties had got well round their positions.
During the whole action enemy Machine Guns were very active from the opposing slopem and one gun firing from opposite the next sector on the right was able to sweep the whole of the Battalion position, including the low ground around the BASSEVILLE BEEK and the high ground about the RED LINE and behind, this gun was never put out of action.
8 Sniping and Rifle Fire
(a) Ours: Sniping poor, great lack of individual effort. Rifle fire was used by groups very largely, particularly after reaching the BLUE LINE. So much so that, while waiting for further supplies of SAA, the main party on the right was using enemy rifles and ammunition of which they had captured large quantities, and fires some thousands of rounds in assisting to cover the advances of the 123rd Brigade.
(b) Enemy: Sniping good, continuous and very harassing. The individual courage and determination of the enemy when in a fairly good protected position, was very well exemplified by this.
Rifle fire of other description apparently nil.
(a) Telephonic: The Brigade Forward Station at RP1 was never out of touch with the Bde Hdqrs for more than a few minutes.
The wires were cut by shell-fire a good many times, but the work done by the linesmen was prompt and courageous and deserves a special mention.
(b) A Power Buzzer was in action soon after the post was established and was a valuable auxiliary.
(c) Visual was used only on the extreme left of the Brigade Sector, where one of the main parties of the Battalion was. No signallers reached the right of the BLUE LINE.
(d) Runners. Most valuable and efficient. Continuous communication was maintained with all parties after the attainment of the 2nd Objective, and the work done by this branch of the Battalion was of outstanding merit.
(e) Wireless was not used.
10 Supplies
SAA, rations and water were sent up by the Brigade, and most of them reached Battn Hdqrs and were distributed to parties in front. But the shelling of back areas was particularly heavy on the 21st and 22nd and the conducting of carrying parties presented very great difficulties.
The forward Battalion dumps were not used, partly owing the shortage of men available for sending back, and partly because as this Battalion had not been in the line before the 20th there were none who could be depended on to guide a party to the right spot. Shortage of men was a hampering factor on every occasion of any sort throughout the operations.
11 Medical
The work of the RAMC bearers appeared to be very good in spite of the large number of cases to be dealt with. The evacuation of the wounded was made comparatively easy by the fact that about 70 per cent of the casualties must have occurred before reaching the RED LINE.
In the forward area great use was made of enemy prisoners as bearers, who, generally speaking, behaved very well in this respect.
I would suggest, however, that a practice be made, both by Battalions and the RAMC of carrying and erecting a number of small sign-posts to indicate the direction to and position of RAPs and Bearer Party Posts.
12 Casualties
O Ranks
Died of Wounds
Of the total sent up 77% officers became casualties and 60% other ranks.
*Of the 4 Officers "Missing" 1 was subsequently killed and the other 3 died of wounds. Of the 29 other ranks "Missing", 6 have since been reported Killed in Action, and 1 Wounded, 2 of the Wounded have died.
(b) At least 70% of the total casualties occurred in the attack on the RED LINE and were caused by bullet wounds.
13 Points suggested by the Operations.
(a) Barrage. 18 Pounder Shrapnel is ineffectual in dealing with MG Emplacements and has little moral effect.
It also produces very little "line" for the leading wave to follow. The impression produced on me personally at Zero hous was that, although I was ahead of my Battalion and within 70 yards of the leading waves of the front Battalion, the barrage was over 300 yards in front of me.
Suggested that the "A" Barrage should be entirely HE, and a good deal of shrapnel being used in the "B" Barrage to catch enemy retiring from forward posts across the open.
(b) Rifle Fire. Was good when carried out by parties under an officer or senior NCO, but individual effort is lacking men being too apt to lie in shell holes with their heads well down, not realizing that every British sniper will assist in Neutralizing enemy sniping.
(c) Grenades. Men have not learnt the value of this weapon against MG Emplacements and Strong Points; the want of realism in training is partly responsible.
(d) Leadership and Initiative. This is the pivot of the whole question of success in such operations. The importance of it has not been overlooked in training but it is clear that too much attention cannot be paid to it. The difficulty of the advance was enhanced enormously from the time when 14 out of 18 officers became casualties by the want of confidence of the NCOs in themselves and of the men in their NCOs.
(e) Minor Tactics. A great deal of training has been devoted to the principle of flank attacks on emplacements and strong points, and this was carried out in practice on several occasions with complete and immediate success; but time and lives are still being lost through it not being universally applied.
(f) The formation was too dense. It would appear impracticable to attempt, once the advance has begun and if any opposition is encountered, to open out two Battalions from a total depth of 150 yards or so to their proper depth and at the same time retain efficient organization and control.

Next post List of Unusual Crafting Hobbies That You Can Try


MISS LAILA, ARMED AND DANGEROUS by Manu Joseph is out on May 17 with Myriad in paperback and ebook as their lead novel for 2018. As Zoë Heller has said: 'Manu Joseph's new novel is a daring, page-turning thriller, filled with anger and wit and some of the loveliest sentences you will read this year.' For a tantalising taster, you can hear Manu read from the novel and talk about it (from Bangalore) with Mariella Frostrup on BBC Open Book here.
On the day that Hindu nationalists and their controversial leader have won a spectacular election victory, a large apartment building collapses in Mumbai. The rescue operation finds a single survivor trapped under a beam. The only person able to reach him is Akhila Iyer, a medical student who is also a notorious social media prankster. Small enough to crawl along to administer medicine as rescuers try to dig him out, she finds him mumbling in delirium that two people are on their way to carry out a terror attack. Elsewhere, a young intelligence agent, Mukundan, is assigned to shadow the two terror suspects, one of whom is the teenage Laila, the sweetheart of her street. Time is running out.
MISS LAILA, ARMED AND DANGEROUS is a gripping chase novel that poses searching questions about the workings of power and its effects on the ordinary people — the watchers and the followers, and those who are trapped when buildings fall. Mariella Frostrup speaks of the novel's 'searing prose' and Ben East in the Observer called it 'caustic, comic and determinedly controversial', talking of 'the thriller lurking beneath it'.

Home Arctic Economy A clash over deep spending cuts in Alaska faces another round
A clash over deep spending cuts in Alaska faces another round
One attempt by lawmakers to override deep budget cuts has failed.
Yereth Rosen, Reuters
Protestors in Anchorage, Alaska on Tuesday, July 9, call for state lawmakers to override the governor's deep budget cuts. (Kelsey Schober)
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska's governor won a showdown on Wednesday with lawmakers trying to reverse his bid to slash spending on higher education by 40 percent, but opponents vowed to keep fighting the unprecedented cut, which university officials have warned would wreak havoc.
The cuts would hit Arctic research, an area in which the Universities of Alaska at Fairbanks and Anchorage are global leaders, especially hard.
Republican Mike Dunleavy, in his first year as governor, wants deep cuts in education and other programs to help pay for his chief campaign promise — a sharp increase in the annual oil revenue dividend Alaska pays to each resident.
A group of nearly 40 Democrats, Republicans and independents that forms a controlling coalition in the Republican-majority legislature sought to block the cuts, which Dunleavy pushed through last month, using dozens of line-item vetoes.
But the coalition fell eight votes shy of the 45 needed to override him — a figure representing a three-quarters majority of the 60 members of the Senate and House of Representatives combined.
Twenty-two Republicans backing Dunleavy stayed away from the joint legislative session in the capital, Juneau, going instead to his hometown of Wasilla, where he had sought unsuccessfully to hold the special session in a school cafeteria.
The final tally in Juneau was 37-1 for an override.
Legislative leaders said they would try to bring the matter back for a second vote on Thursday, hoping to persuade some holdouts to join their cause before Friday's deadline to act.
"We're not done fighting," House Speaker Bryce Edgmon, a political independent, told a news conference late on Wednesday.
"There should be further opportunities to … consider to a fuller extent the impact of the vetoes, and what we might do to roll some of those, if not a good many, back."
Dunleavy says his cuts are needed to rein in spending and cope with a long-term decline in Alaska's oil industry receipts that is undermining its economy, even as he proposed nearly doubling the oil revenue dividend to a record $3,000 a year.
Critics say the cuts, totaling about $440 million, are so harsh they will worsen the state's economic slump.
"I cannot fathom why the governor is purposely throwing Alaska into a severe economic recession," Republican state Senator Natasha von Imhof said before Wednesday's vote.
Edgmon suggested the governor and his staff failed to fully grasp the impact of the cuts.
Especially hard-hit would be the University of Alaska system, accounting for $130 million of the vetoes, or the equivalent of the budget for one of its three main campuses at Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau.
University regents will meet on Monday to consider a declaration of "financial exigency," allowing swift shutdowns of programs, dismissal of tenured faculty and other major cutbacks, President Jim Johnsen said.
Dunleavy, a former teacher and outspoken supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, has said he believed the university was resilient and would emerge healthier.
His cuts also target the state's Medicaid program, social services, law enforcement and services for the poor and elderly, among others.

Q: What is the object scope and lifetime in the different ASP.NET MVC components? The ASP.NET MVC has many components. Controllers, actions, static classes, ApiControllers, Filters, RouteTables, BundleTables, Factories, et cetera along with access modifiers to controller scope.
If we instantiate an object or access a static property within any of these, how do we determine the object's, class's, or member's scope and lifetime. Take this example for instance:
public static class MyHelper
{
    public static object MyProperty { get; set; }
    public static Func<object> MyPropertyFactory { get; set; }

    static MyHelper()
    {
        MyProperty = new object();
        MyPropertyFactory = () => new object();
    }
}
public class MyController : ApiController
{
    public object MyAppProperty { get; set; }
    public object MyRequestProperty { get; set; }

    public MyController()
    {
        MyAppProperty = MyHelper.MyProperty;
        MyRequestProperty = MyHelper.MyPropertyFactory;
    }

    public object MyAction()
    {
        var MyActionObject = new object();
        return MyActionObject;
    }
}

I find the lifetime and scope of the different objects and static class properties difficult to parse. This gets my into threading and other problems.
Other than analysis and experience, is there a generally process for determining this? Another more answerable question is: "What is the lifetime and scope of each of the following and why?

*

*MyHelper

*MyHelper.MyProperty

*MyHelper.MyPropertyFactory

*MyController

*MyController.MyAppProperty

*MyController.MyRequestProperty

*MyController.MyAction.MyActionObject

A: All static properties have AppDomain lifetime (from first usage to shutdown/restart).
Others (Controllers, models and views) - request lifetime (created during request, eligible for GC after end of that request).

A: May I suggest to use Dependency Injection container. Your problem with lifetime-scoping will go away, because the container will manage all of these for you.
Instead of static initiations and messing about with functions-factories you'll do:
private readonly IService service;
private readonly IOtherService otherService;

public MyController(IService service, IOtherService)
{
    this.service = service;
    this.otherService = otherService;
}

Live coronavirus updates and omicron variant news
At a press conference on Friday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau renewed his calls for protesters to leave the country's vaccination mandate, called the protests 'illegal' and said the consequences would be 'more serious' , in reference to Ontario's declaration of a state of emergency. .
"The consequences are more and more serious. You don't want to end up losing your license, ending up with a criminal record, which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally, including to the United States," said he declared.
The protests, in their second week, have caused mass blockades in the Canadian capital of Ottawa and at several border crossings. Businesses on both sides of the Canada-US border said they were affected by the protests.
Earlier Friday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency for the province and said people who break the law and continue blockades could face penalties of up to 78 $000 and a year in prison. Ford said it would consider revoking the personal and business licenses of anyone who fails to comply with those orders.
Trudeau said he spoke with President Biden on Friday morning about the border blockade and the presence of Americans in the protests. He said he also discussed the flooding of 911 lines in Ottawa with bogus calls on Wednesday, which Canadian police said came mostly from U.S. addresses, and the effect of foreign money to fund the protests.
"President Biden and I agree that for the safety of the people and the economy, these blockades cannot continue," Trudeau said.
The prime minister also reiterated his resistance to using the military to lift the blockades. "The use of military force against civilian populations in Canada or any other democracy is something that should not be done at all costs. This is why the current solution focuses on the police force," he said.

Saying goodbye to a very remarkable year in the fashion industry and approaching a new aspiring one, Socialista Events blends the sparkling trendy fashion vibes with the most wonderful time of the year at la fête de Noel, the fashion exhibition held from Dec 18th – 20th at Park St. in Sheikh Zayed in partnership with the Arab African International Bank.
Bringing our beloved designers and celebrities from Egypt and Lebanon to celebrate and define the latest fashion trends of 2021, highlighting the means to master winter season, in the presence of Ayman Fathy, Katia, Diala Makki, Dina Ragheb, Hanady Mehana, Marzouk, Illyas, and Aisha El shabrawy.
The event showcased over 30 prominent Egyptian and Arab exhibitors for ready-to-wear, jewelry and accessories, in addition to home accessories to provide all what you are looking for in the holiday season under one roof. On top of the exhibitors are; the diva Dalida Ayach, le Petit Chato, Dina Shaker, Koukla, Dalia Sabet, El Kasr Jewelry, Noha Abassi, El Baz Jewelry. Besides, Posh Shades, which brings the latest in the world of sunglasses and eyeglasses.
During the event, the Algerian-London based designer, Ilyes Quali held one-of-a-kind Trunk Show that presents contrasting sharp, structured tailoring with dramatic frills & pleats, mastering the art of creating pieces that imbibe the street style essence.
The serial entrepreneur, founder & CEO of Socialista Events, Yasmine Sarwat, highlighted how fashion is a core in the human well-being, how it impacts our mental health and encourages positivity and productivity. She stated, "The way we dress radiates outward to the surroundings, it also moves inward to speak what we feel and even affect our moods". She explained that there is science behind fashion and stressed on the link between psychology and fashion, which puts great responsibility on the industry's players especially during the times of different occasions of the year.
Sarwat added, "We are delighted to be hosting and celebrating the new year with our distinguishable partners of success and we always work to share the joy with our clients and present what they aspire for".
For an unforgettable closing, the mega star Ruby was the main guest at La fête de Noel, who filled the night with her equisetic voice and wished happy beginnings for all the Arabs in the new year.
THE GOLDEN PARADE
In a spectacular display of cultural revitalization and preservation, Egypt stunned the world with her Golden Parade. The royal procession rivaled those of centuries past in extravagance and the awe it left in its wake. The official transference of 22 mummies, 18 pharaohs and four queens from The Egyptian museum in heart of Cairo to the next nucleus of Egyptian history and culture, The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. This momentous event came to being after a year long preparation in which the efforts of key individuals led to an unparalleled display which captivated millions across the globe. The colossal effort behind the scenes owe its thanks to several companies and individuals.
The phenomenal production by Kokoro Agency heads Production Designer and Art Director Mohamed Attia and partner Shady Ezz, oversaw the process to ensure the visually distinct nature of the Golden Parade. Following the event Mohamed Attia "The happiness and pride of the people come from how we as Egyptians are capable. That we're capable of meeting the international standard, with it being accomplished yesterday before the eyes of every Egyptian and the world." This substantial work stands as an example of Egyptian creativity and attention to detail which Shady Ezz remarked "after a year and a half worth of preparation, I'm delighted with the domestic and international reception". Having successfully captured the grandiosity and awe inspiring spectacle of the Ancient Egyptians Kokoro and everyone involved in the production of the Parade have forged work that has earned the pride of Egyptians everywhere.
The visual journey that was embarked upon by every viewer who witnessed the parade was one guided by the hand of DOP and Director Mazen El Motagawel. Responsible for the vision of the event, his efforts ensured a spectacle that offered viewers a unique glimpse into the past, which he says "will never be repeated in a lifetime". Through intricate rehearsals and preparation, he ensured that every second that was viewed on air deserved to be cemented in the minds and hearts of Egyptians. The parade necessitated a delicate touch and a carefully orchestrated sequence of events, which presented substantial challenges which required an unmatched creativity to ensure such a vision comes to fruition. He stated that "the lighting design was extremely technically demanding regarding how to manage lighting on such a grand scale, especially the coordination between the parade and the visual elements". Mazen El Motagawel's work was complemented by Ahmed El Morsi's remarkable directing and filming the retelling of ancient Egyptian history by prominent Egyptian actors as well as the official anthem by the acclaimed artist Mohamed Mounir. All theses elements came together to mark a new chapter in modern Egyptian history in which it solidifies its identity. One that embraces the legacy of its past and its optimistic path towards achieving its potential.

Q: Server ftp inside Jboss 10 I know the question does not make much sense, but I'd like to know if it's possible to embed an FTP (or SFTP/FTPS) server inside Jboss 10 application server.
Bear me for how much this question can seem stupid.
thanks

A: I'd take a look at Apache FtpServer specifically the embedding guide.  You could start this up with a @Singleton or @Startup or inside of a servlet context listener.


Innovation serves society as the very thing that propels it forward. In other words, innovation happens when a solution is created to a problem in a way that people's lives are changed for the better.
In the business world, the combination of entrepreneurship and innovation is the stuff dreams are made of because, without entrepreneurship, innovative ideas cannot benefit people on the scale and, therefore, are unable to change the status quo, a.k.a., life as we know it.
Innovative companies know their customer really well and take their needs, habits and desires very seriously. They keep their costumer is at the centre of every decision in every step of the way. Uber – for instance – innovated in the way they charged for taxi fares based on a pain point people that took taxis had: when you get into a taxi, you never know how much the trip is going to cost you. There is no estimate, no indication. Prior to Uber and it's estimated price model, all people in taxis had was eyes fixed to the taximeter and a constant sense of anxiety.
We say it all the time: innovation is a team sport. Multidisciplinarity is always a great way to create unusual solutions to problems; the more distinct people you have in a room working together, the more points of view and ideas you will have. Not to mention, companies that are innovative in the way they dictate their office culture, tend to be more innovative with their clients, also. By constantly creating new processes and by encouraging people to solve problems in unusual ways, companies encourage internal innovation and set their employees minds to do the same when designing products or services to the end customer.
Business Design – a derivate of Design Thinking – is a tool that companies can use to break paradigms and foster innovation. Using creativity and strategic thinking whilst keeping the consumer at the end of the equation, business models can get an innovative makeover, or brand new models that cater to the customer's needs can be created.

Ah the "Cidada Maravilhosa" – the marvellous city – certainly lives up to it's name. Back in the UK, we celebrate "pancake day" where you serve up pancakes for at least one meal of the day, filling our cold British hearts with joy, which is about as good as it gets in February in England.
In Rio however, it's 35 degrees, and their start to lent is a 5 day party which literally involves everyone in the city being involved in the small (100 people) to huge (100,000 people) "blocos". The roads are closed so everyone can dance and drink in the street – it's a huge party. Of course you can't forget the carnival parade, where £Million floats and 5,000 troupe-samba schools create a fantastic show in the purpose built sambadrome.
We grew up in the wrong country.
Firstly it has to be said, there is so much more to Rio than craft beer and we personally think you are better off chilling on Copacabana beach with a Brahma or a Caipirinha (or stocking up at craft beer spot Bier en Cultuur) than spending the warm days hunting out the best craft beer spots. But just in case you are tempted, here's our run down of the best spots for craft beer in this wonderful city.
Our first craft beer stop in Rio was Botto Bar, out of the usual tourist scene and straight into non-English speaking territory. Botto Bar had an excellent 20 taps on offer including a delicious saison and APA that we both enjoyed, a good start to the scene.
Their biggest downfall, and one that was a recurring theme for craft beer in Brazil, was that you didn't actually feel like you were in Brazil. Perhaps that's what the locals are looking for but, maybe not so good for a tourist.
A short walk from Botto Bar (well more like across the road) over in Maracanã, lies the very trendy HopLab. Easy & helpful service (and bonus in English as well), they give you a card & you simply tab up your drinks & pay at the end – a common theme in Rio.
A little bit closer to the tourist trail of Copacabana and Ipanema, Birreria Escondido serves up some of Rio's best pizza and a whole selection of beer for you to enjoy. This place was absolutely buzzing with "beer & boldness" and would be a great place for a group of friends to enjoy a few jars and definitely a few slices of pizza. If you don't fancy wandering too far from the beach, or are more of a burger than pizza person, you can visit their sister branch, Pub Escondido, which is just a block away from Copacabana and serves a huge range of cocktails as well as their 24 strong tap list.
Another short walk, and you can get from Bierra to Hocus Pocus DNA. Don't be fooled by the name, it's not a film starring Sarah Jessica Parker but an awesome brew pub in Botafogo. Despite their website nearly prompting an epileptic fit, we had an awesome time here and were in the company of the guys from Barco Brewers, a fab local brewery, which is always a good sign. This place was so busy with people enjoying Hocus Pocus' craft that the crowd was spilling out on to the street and staff were busy running back and forth taking beer orders. This place is definitely worth a visit and is not too far from the main tourist drag either.
So there we go, a short but sweet review of some of the places we headed to. We really fell in love with Rio, which is probably why we wanted the craft beer experience to feel a little more Brazilian than it did, but enjoyed the mix of some great local beers as well as caipirinhas on the beach.
From Rio, we made a non-craft beer related stop at Iguazu falls and then onto Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires.

Dallas Law Firm Making a Difference in Public Education
The attorneys at Dallas' Bickel & Brewer are getting some well-deserved attention and praise for an after-school program the firm initiated in 2001 to help bridge the gap between the city's public school students and their private school peers. The Future Leaders Program is free initiative intended to help improve students' SAT scores and increase their chances of earning college acceptance letters.
A recent article in The Dallas Morning News explains how the program sends public school students to after-school classes in science, technology, humanities and leadership at four of the city's top private schools. The program has quietly grown to include more than 200 students for the 2013 school year. Many former Future Leaders participants have gone on to enjoy successful college and professional careers.
Bickel & Brewer is a longtime leader in community efforts and pro bono services in Dallas, including the establishment of an office in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods and requiring firm attorneys to perform 200 hours of pro bono work annually.
Lawyers generally get a lot of grief for the amount of money they make practicing law, but firms such as Bickel & Brewer deserve praise for recognizing the obvious discrepancies in educational opportunities available to certain students, and for committing the resources to do something about it in a meaningful way.
And kudos to The Dallas Morning News for ensuring the public knows about it.

It was always our intention to write to you after your company fitter out our wardrobe room earlier this year, such as our pleasure as the finished article. We delayed our response after we decided that we would ask you to revisit the works and undergo a series of alterations from us. We would have understood if these alterations might be viewed by yourselves as being almost not worth your attention.
We soon realised that this is not the Holmfields way, your professionalism throughout continued with the same intensity yet balance of local family run business meant our entire experience of Holmfields has been nothing but pleasurable.
We could not write without give a very special thank you for your fitter, Lewis. When he came and fitted the orignial works we were literally "blown" away with this workmanship, attitude and overall disposition. We were absolutely thrilled to see him once again call at our house to understand the amendments, we were not disappointed, absolutely excellent work. You have a pure diamond in Lewis and he is a credit to you all.
The builders in our home have all mentioned the quality of Lewis's work, praise from his peers is praise needed.
Our intent however is to offer our most sincere thanks for allowing us to experience first hand something that is virtually unique in today's dynamic and busy business environment, true customer service. A service experienced every step of the way and exercised by every member of the team we met – yes Dave, even you!
Thank you all so very much, we are delighted with the finished works. We are always reluctant to recommend organisations just in case experiences don't match up, not even close with Holmfields. Your overall delivery demands that you are recommended and that is certainly what we shall be doing.
