Former President John Dramani Mahama has asked executives of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to take note of all hardworking and loyal party members so that they can be rewarded if the party recaptures power in the 2020 polls.
He encouraged supporters of the party to work hard to bring the NDC back to power, as the party will also reward them when it forms the next government.
Speaking to delegates of the NDC at the Afadjato South Constituency of the Volta Region on Monday, 28 January 2019, Mr Mahama said the leadership of the NDC had learnt lessons from the party's defeat in the 2016 elections.
He expressed confidence that with unity, the NDC can recapture power from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr Mahama told the delegates that: "We must all kill ourselves a little so that the party can come back into government and when the party comes back to government, I assure you the party will also kill itself a little for you.
"Our foot soldiers and our grassroots are also entitled to the fair share of the national cake. In the past, when we were cadres of the revolution, we sacrificed our lives so that our nation will be better. But we've moved into another era, the era of democracy, and, so, you have party foot soldiers, grassroots who work for the party hoping that when the party wins and comes into power their lives will also get better.
"And, so, if a party chairman or a party's branch women's organiser or branch chairman also has a child who qualifies as a Ghanaian to be able to get a scholarship, why not? We should give him a scholarship. If he has a son who is qualified to enter the army or police, as long as he's qualified, why not? He should also have the opportunity.
"But the only way we can do that is for our executives to be able to recognise the hardworking grassroots foot soldiers. The president or the leader is not in Afadjato South, I cannot see those who are working here in Afadjato South. It is the MP, the constituency chairman, the women's organiser and others who will know it is Mama Rejoice who is working hard so when the party wins and if there's an opportunity, let us suggest Mama Rejoice to also go and benefit.
"But if that doesn't happen and we all work hard and the party comes back and now they say they want to choose a District Chief Executive, then the MP goes and brings his nephew, the chairman goes and brings his cousin, this one goes and brings his this, that is where the problem comes.
"Then you go and bring a DCE and they say: 'Here are MASLOC loans for your district then you know that these are the people who work hard.' The president cannot come and choose those people and say they should benefit. It is the DCE who is supposed to do that. And then you go and take people who are completely different and they had nothing to do with the victory of the party and bring it and distribute it to them, then the party foot soldiers get angry and say: 'What is the use of the work we did?' So let us with pen and paper start taking notes of those who are working hard from today for the victory of the party in 2020".

Michigan Family Independence Program (FIP)
The Family Independence Program (FIP) provides cash assistance to low-income families with minor children as well as pregnant women.
In addition to cash assistance, Michigan's DHS also offers child care, food as well as state emergency relief assistance.
As a condition of eligibility, you are required to complete the Family Automated Screening Tool (FAST) and develop a Family Self-Sufficiency Plan (FSSP).
This plan will list the work activities that you must do up to 40 hours per week to receive cash assistance.
How do I qualify for welfare in Michigan?
To find out if you're eligible, go to MI Bridges, where you can apply for cash assistance, check your eligibility status and manage your account online.
An eligibility determination will be made usually within 45 days after completing the application process.
How much does welfare pay in Michigan?
How much money you get from welfare in Michigan largely depends upon your family's income and size. For example, a single mother of two with no income may receive up to a maximum of $492 per month.
How long can you be on welfare in Michigan?
Under current Michigan law, you cannot receive FIP for more than 48 months in your lifetime, with some exceptions.
When eligible for cash assistance, deposits will be made to your EBT account, known as Michigan Bridge Card, twice per month. You may use the card to withdraw cash at any ATM with the Quest sign.1
There is no transaction fee for the first four withdrawals in a month. You will have to pay a transaction fee for each ATM withdrawal after the fourth one in a month.

Only one fishing boat had moored to the dock below the castle of Porto Ercole when we arrived. The fishermen were busy putting the catch in white styrofoam boxes filled with ice, sorting it according to species and quality. Next, they put the boxes in rows and columns along the pier. In the meantime, a driver reversed a van close to the the pier and opened the doors at the back.
When all the catch had been placed on the pier, the fishermen formed a line and passed the boxes to each other until the last one who put them in the van, while the driver put them in rows and columns inside the van. When they were finished, the driver went to the hall where the auction would take place.
Next, waiting for some time, another fishing boat arrived. A fisherman was standing at the bow, holding a rope with a piece of lead at the end. When the fishing boat was near enough the pier, he threw the rope against the pier where a worker was ready to take it. After some tries, he succeeded in taking it and attaching it to a bollard. Next, the boat reversed, turned around 180 degrees such that the stern was nearest the pier. Finally, it was reversed and when it was near the pier, two fishermen threw ropes with loops at the end towards the pier where two workers attached them to bollards.
Next, the fishermen started sorting the catch in white styrefoam boxes before bringing them to the stern of the ship. There, the same procedure was repeated as was done on the other fishing boat.
Then, we went to the hall, located a few hundred metres from the fishing boats, where the auction should take place. Upon arrival, some workers had sorted the catch on various pallets. When the second catch arrived, they sorted it such that the same type of species was laid next to each other in descending order of quality: first, second and third.
The fishermen go to sea at about 2 in the morning and return at about 7 to 8 in the evening. As we saw at the harbour, after having moored at the pier, they immediately sort the catch and bring it to a van as quickly as possible. This time, they had been fishing near the island of Gianutra and they had been fishing at depths ranging from about 70 m to 200 m.
In the meantime, buyers from Genova, Rome, Naples, etc. were standing around the boxes, studying them attentively, probably thinking about what they wanted to buy and how much they wanted to pay. Being outsiders, we just had to listen to an exchange of jokes, offers and counteroffers between the auctioneer and the buyers. An encounter between offers pronounced between the teeth and short syncopated phrases bouncing between the buyers and the auctioneer at such at quick pace that the fish boxes disappeared and were purchased even before the last ones had been arranged next to each other. Perhaps if the time available was sufficient, we could understand the meaning of this mysterious and important negotiation. However, seafood deteriorates very fast and it's of utmost importance to reduce the amount of time between fishing and consumption.
An auction of fish is an extreme synthesis of purchase agreement that must be done through gestures, words and decisions with almost lightning speed, a sort of magical ritual that has taken place in the same way for hundreds of years. Anyway, in spite of the speed of the auction, all the data of the seafood is recorded by computer in some central register.
I have been to another seafood auction, which is described here.

Der "Autorenkreis der Bundesrepublik – Forum für Literatur und Politik" ist ein literarischer Verein in Deutschland.

Geschichte
Der Autorenkreis wurde 1992 von Schriftstellern aus dem gesamten Bundesgebiet gegründet, um das literarische Schreiben zu fördern, aber auch Debatten zur Zeitgeschichte zu unterstützen. Inhaltliche Schwerpunkte der politischen Arbeit sind Aspekte der modernen Demokratie in Deutschland, aber auch historischer Bereiche wie der Aufarbeitung des DDR-Unrechts. Seit 1996 existiert der Autorenkreis als eingetragener gemeinnütziger Verein. Der Gründungsvorstand des Vereins bestand aus Burkhart Veigel (Vorsitzender), Ekkehart Rudolph (Stellvertreter), Helga Schwabe (Schatzmeisterin) und Christoph Kuhn (Protokoll). Aktuell (Stand Juli 2020) fungiert Jörg Sader als Vorsitzender, Uwe Lehmann-Brauns als Stellvertreter und Heinz-Uwe Haus als weiteres Vorstandsmitglied.

Aktivität
Die Vereinsaktivität besteht aus halbjährlichen Tagungen, die in der Regel in Berlin stattfinden, sowie aus Lesungsangeboten, u. a. für Schulen. Lesungen, auch mit internationalen Gastreferenten, finden aber auch in Buchhandlungen, Bibliotheken, Literaturhäusern und Hochschulen statt. Von 1995 bis 2003 verlieh der Verein den zunächst mit 20.000, später mit 10.000 € dotierten Hans-Sahl-Preis für ein literarisches Gesamtwerk parteipolitisch unabhängiger Schriftsteller, das "für die Freiheit des Wortes eintritt und sich von Ideologie absetzt".

In den ersten Jahren des Bestehens bemühte sich der Verein um die Aufklärung der Verstrickung von DDR-Schriftstellern in Aktivitäten des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit. Diese Recherchen führten zu heftigen Diskussionen und umfassender Rezeption. Der Autorenkreis positionierte sich auch deutlich gegen die politische Tätigkeit der Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus und deren Ambitionen auf Regierungsbeteiligung.

Ziel des Vereins war auch, ein "Archiv in der DDR verbotener Literatur zu erstellen". Dies sollte gemeinsam mit dem Hannah-Arendt-Institut für Totalitarismusforschung geschaffen werden. Als "Archiv unterdrückter Literatur" besteht es seit 2005, nicht veröffentlichte Texte von DDR-Autoren wurden in der Publikationsreihe "Verschwiegene Bibliothek" herausgegeben.

2002 kritisierte der Autorenkreis die Verleihung der Louise-Schroeder-Medaille an Daniela Dahn.

Zu weiteren politischen Aktionen zählte ein offener Brief des Autorenkreis, der sich gegen die vermeintlich China-freundliche, prokommunistische Berichterstattung der Deutschen Welle richtete. Dieser Brief und seine Nachwirkungen wurde umfassend medial rezipiert. Zu den Forderungen des Autorenkreis gehörte, sämtliche Redaktionen der Deutschen Welle zu überprüfen, die über totalitäre Länder (einschließlich Russland) berichten, und alle Mitarbeiter erneut auf eine frühere Stasi-Tätigkeit hin zu untersuchen. Dieser wurde u. a. von einer Gegenerklärung der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung scharf zurückgewiesen.

Der Autorenkreis erfährt Förderung durch die Bundesstiftung zur Aufarbeitung des SED–Unrechts, die Allianz Kulturstiftung, die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien (BKM), die Senatsverwaltung für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kultur Berlin, die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, die Kulturstiftung der Deutschen Bank, den Berliner Landesbeauftragten für die Unterlagen des Staatssicherheitsdienstes der ehemaligen DDR, die Stiftung Preußische Seehandlung und die Walter de Gruyter Stiftung.

Mitglieder
Der Verein zählt etwa 30 lebende Mitglieder, darunter zahlreiche Träger hochdotierter Literaturpreise. Auch unter den ehemaligen (inzwischen verstorbenen Mitgliedern) finden sich renommierte Künstler. (Liste Stand Juli 2020, Quelle Autorenkreis-Website)

1996 trat Chaim Noll unter großer Außenwahrnehmung aus dem Autorenkreis aus. Weitere frühere, mit Kritik an der Vereinsführung ausgetretene Mitglieder waren Peter Schneider, Hans Christoph Buch, Herta Müller, Richard Wagner, Sigmar Schollak und Hans Joachim Schädlich. Klaus Poche trat nach der CDU-Spendenaffäre aus. Ebenfalls nicht mehr Mitglied sind Christoph Kuhn, Utz Rachowski, Udo Scheer, Lutz Rathenow, Uwe Kolbe und Sarah Kirsch.

Rezeption
Der Autorenkreis und seine Aktivität sind seit Bestehen immer wieder Gegenstand der überregionalen Berichterstattung. Hier trägt einerseits die Bekanntheit der Mitglieder, gerade im Zusammenhang mit Preisverleihungen, bei. Zum anderen brachte sich der Verein selbst durch politische Diskussionen und Aktionen ins öffentliche Gespräch. Die inhaltliche Fokussierung auf die Aufklärung von DDR-Unrecht in Schriftstellerkreisen führte zu zahlreichen Vereinsaustritten, in deren Folge Bernd Wagner zur Vorstandswahl mit dem Ziel kandidierte, den Verein aufzulösen. Wagner kritisierte auch die zu große Nähe zur CDU bzw. zur CDU-nahen Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. Chaim Noll, ehemaliges Mitglied des Autorenkreises, begründete seinen Austritt mit – seiner Wahrnehmung nach – deutschnationalen Tendenzen in der Gruppierung.

Samsung OneUI was unveiled at the fifth annual Developer Conference held in San Francisco in the first week of November 2018. It provides a new and fresh experience to its users. This new overhaul includes some of the very cool Samsung OneUI Features.
The new User Interface provides a fresh look. It makes the smartphone really easy to interact with using only one hand. Furthermore, the new UI brings a large viewing area at the top together with an interaction area on the bottom half. The cool part is that the viewing area disappears once you scroll down the app.
The new UI brings gesture style navigation. It allows the users to use the gesture navigation instead of the Android buttons. You will be able to navigate your phone just using gestures, once you enable the gesture navigation option.
One UI also brings a new feature called Adoptable Storage. It allows you to use a microSD card as extended phone memory. Isn't it amazing? This allows all the Android users to install apps and games on the SD card without any problem.
One UI also brings new icons which are way flatter and normal. These icons still possess a squircle shape and look a bit cartoonish. However, the new icons are way better than the previous Experience UI icons.
One UI also brings dark mode together with a dark notification panel, dark Settings app, dark app drawer etc. This feature makes up for really comfortable viewing, especially at night.
Recycle Bin is one of the new features that basically saves all your deleted photos for 15 days before permanently deleting them. So, if you happen to delete a picture by mistake, you can easily reclaim it.
"Lift to Wake" feature which is commonly known as raise to wake on other devices automatically wakes up your screen when you lift to look at it. This feature is even more helpful if you use Samsung's iris scanner as it allows the system to start scanning even before the screen was turned on, making things super duper fast.
Samsung also brings a new "Optimize Settings" option in One UI 's battery settings. It will automatically reset the brightness, screen timeout, and media volume at midnight to save battery.

Q: ubuntu 18.04.1 with Windows 10 dual boot - 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' error hell? I have Windows 10 and I am trying to install ubuntu 18.04.1 with no success. Here is my system info:

*

*HP Envy x360 Laptop with SSD (with GPT)

*I have 100 MB EFI System parition (installed with Windows 10) Here is my Disk Partition table

*Windows 10 is installed in UEFI mode

*Windows 10 Fast Reboot is disabled

*From BIOS Secure Boot is disabled

*ubuntu 18.04.1 ISO copied to USB using Rufus 3.1 in GPT mode

*On restart ubuntu USB loads fine as I clicked on 'Try ubuntu'

*Once ubuntu is running then I click on Install ubuntu

*And then I get this error:

The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into / target/.
   Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.
I have tried many times by selecting/deselecting options like 'install 3rd party drivers', 'install updates during installation' but I always get the same error.
I have searched on web and many users are facing the same error and I have tried to apply some fixes / workarounds (like disabling Fast Reboot , disabling Secure Boot etc) but none worked in my case. I have even tried increasing the EFI partition size to 500 mb but I still got the same error.
Could someone please suggest a solution for this problem. I thought ubuntu is a friendly Linux distro and its installation will be as easy as installing Windows... but its giving me some pains....
I would really appreciate some help here.
EDIT:
Here is my Parted -l result

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt

East Lansing teacher on leave after second controversial assignment surfaces
Krystal Nurse
EAST LANSING — MacDonald Middle School social studies teacher Matt Christians was placed on paid administrative leave while East Lansing Public Schools investigates a second assignment handed out in his class, Superintendent Dori Leyko confirmed.
"The teacher has been put on paid administrative leave that is non-disciplinary at this time. In light of new information, we are renewing our investigation," Leyko said in an email. "That is all the information I'm able to provide at this time."
A request for comment is pending with the East Lansing teachers' union.
Christians, an eighth-grade history teacher, came under fire earlier this month for assigning a worksheet that asked students to imagine themselves as enslaved people. A Black parent, Chelsea Wade, whose daughter completed the assignment, raised concerns over the curriculum. ELPS apologized and took responsibility for that assignment.
More:'We messed up': ELPS criticized for racially insensitive homework assignment
Christians' leave comes after new information circulated about a different assignment, from February 2012, in which he asked students to write about the "positive aspects of slavery."
In a 2012 email provided to the Lansing State Journal by Wade, Christians told a parent their child had protested completing the assignment, stating "there were no positive aspects of slavery."
"I also support (the student's) decision to not comply with the assignment but reminded (the student) that there are consequences for (the student's) decision ... A zero for the assignment, it is worth ten points, missing the chance to expand (the student's) knowledge, and improve reasoning skills," he wrote.
The former student sent a copy of the email to Wade after reading about her daughter's experience in Christians' class, Wade said. Wade also shared the email with the Lansing NAACP and several ELPS employees, including Leyko and the board. Requests for comment from Christians, the former student and the parent were pending.
In the email, Christians wrote that he originally "considered allowing the students to choose which side to argue: negative or positive aspects of slavery," but "decided to have students support the positive aspects in order to increase awareness that some individuals were able to preserve dignity and culture despite the cruelty of slavery." He made the decision to meet goals established by ELPS to address a district-wide achievement gap by "incorporating Black culture into the classroom," he wrote.
Christians believed the assignment had enough value to students to not change his stance, he wrote.
"As we stated in class, the purpose of this writing activity was not to say slavery was good," he wrote to the parent. "We definitely established that slavery was indeed evil, cruel, and inhumane with other lessons from various chapters."
NAACP Lansing chapter president Dale Copedge said the organization is aware of the 2012 assignment. Wade filed a complaint with the civil rights organization about her own daughter's assignment from Christians earlier this year.
"These are educators and they should know better," Wade said earlier this month. "How does it go through the superintendent, principal, curriculum director and two social studies teachers to pass this assignment on to my daughter? No one stepped in to say, 'hey, this is a problem.'"
Regarding the more recent assignment, both Leyko and ELPS curriculum director Glenn Mitcham apologized and said the district has a collective responsibility for the worksheet being handed out.
The district's social studies curriculum is being reprioritized for review, Mitcham said.
"Teach about the building of pyramids, kings and queens, the rich history of scientists, mathematicians and inventors," Wade said at an April 12 school board meeting. "Instead, this assignment asked my daughter to get in the mindset of her ancestors as a slave. How dare the school inflict pain and trauma on my daughter, my family and all of the other families that are hurt by this school's failure?"

U.S. diplomat killed in Madagascar
By AT editor - 25 September 2018 at 6:59 am
The United States Department of State has confirmed the weekend death of one of its diplomats in Madagascar, where a man was detained after he was caught scaling the fence of the diplomat's home in Antananarivo.
"We are deeply saddened to confirm that a U.S. Foreign Service Officer was found dead in their residence in the overnight hours of Friday, September 21," said department spokeswoman Heather Nauert. "Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and the U.S. Embassy Antananarivo community."
Nauert said U.S. investigators have opened an investigation along with Malagasy authorities. She did not identify the victim out of respect for the family and because of the ongoing investigation.
Local media in Madagascar also provided limited information about the attack, which they say happened about 1 a.m. Saturday in Ambohibao, north of the capital where a U.S. embassy office is located. Police headed to the male victim's home as soon as they received an alarm alert, but the victim was already dead.
Local authorities said they're also not releasing information that would hinder an investigation.
Madagascar recently has seen increased instability and some violent protests. The U.S. embassy elevated the level of caution for travelers on August 1 because of civil unrest and crime, and previously asked U.S. citizens to use increased caution in Antananarivo and other areas because of the ongoing political crisis. At least two protesters died in April when security forces opened fire.
Madagascar's election backdrop
The April 21 rally was one of a series of political developments this year in Madagascar, which has endured years of instability and stunted economic development. While there's no reason to assume that the U.S. diplomat's death was politically motivated – police obviously remain tight-lipped so far about what happened – it draws attention to the Indian Island nation and its 26 million people.
The current president is Rivo Rakotovao, who has served in an interim role since September 7 when President Hery Rajaonarimampianina stepped aside: The latter's decision is required under Malagasy law for the incumbent because Rajaonarimampianina is running for president again as the HVM candidate.
Rakotovao, the former president of Madagascar's Senate, has vowed to remain impartial in the upcoming elections and distance himself from HVM. Yet there's much speculation about his influence in a country that has seen many of the same political candidates since a 2009 coup, when previous president Marc Ravalomanana was replaced after seven years.
Ravalomanana, leading the TIM party, has returned as a presidential candidate in 2018. Andry Rajoelina, the now-MAPAR leader who replaced him until 2014, also is standing for election. All told, there are 36 candidates, with 16 of them – all in alignment with Didier Ratsiraka, whose own stints as former military ruler or president spanned more than 20 years – asking that the November 7 election date be postponed.
Yet that's a tricky decision too, because Madagascar's constitution requires elections to be held in months outside of the rainy season. If there are delays, a second round might be pushed into 2019.
Madagascar's social and economic instability
Whenever Madagascar holds its elections, it will be against the tense social and economic backdrop that prompted U.S. diplomats to issue warnings long before violence claimed one of their own. The country's constitutional court overturned a Rajaonarimampianina decree earlier this year that some say would have prevented Ravalomanana and Rajoelina from running, because of restrictions on media access, campaign finance, and a prior conviction in absentia for Ravalomanana.
This controversy was the cause of the fatal April protest marches, which Rajaonarimampianina interpreted as another coup attempt.
The African Union, European Union, Southern Africa Development Community and United Nations all attempted mediation, while ultimately the court decision paved the way for a new unity government. It included both Rajoelina and Ravalomanana, as well as new Prime Minister and independent politician Christian Ntsay – all adding to the palace intrigue, and the layers and nuance in their relationships.
It's not clear that any of this has added to the confidence of Malagasy voters, who continue to live under harsh economic realities. A World Bank report released on July 31 finds that 75 percent of the country lives in poverty using the USD$1.90 benchmark; that will only decrease by 2 percent in 2020, assuming growth projections currently at 5.4 percent for 2019.
The country's agricultural sector provides some optimism, but it's not taking off as hoped. The 80 percent of Madagascar's population that relies on farming in some way still has limited access to technology, transportation and markets.

We have just inflated another bubble and the air is already going back out. And the Federal Reserve knows this bubble is too big to pop because the financial crisis that would follow would make 2008 look like a Sunday school picnic.
So they are getting ready to blow as much air into this bubble as they can and so they will launch a new round of QE that will make the Europeans and the Japanese blush.

Illinois men's basketball faces first real test at NIT Season Tipoff
Elisabeth Neely
Te'Jon Lucas (3) dribbles the ball towards McKendree's basket in the game against McKendree on Tuesday. The Illini won 112-65.
By Lucas Wright , Staff writer
On the heels of the team's most dominating performance of the young season, the Illinois men's basketball team opens the NIT Season Tip-off on Friday with a matchup against Detroit.
The Illini (3-0) are coming off a 47-point win over Division-II McKendree and are preparing to play on one of the biggest basketball stages in the world: New York City at the Barclays Center. The invitational also features No. 19 West Virginia, Temple and Florida State.
Before the Illini can head to New York to get to the much-anticipated matchup with the Mountaineers, the team must get through two preliminary games in Champaign.
Detroit comes into the Friday game with a 1-1 record, recently suffering a 29-point loss to Eastern Tennessee State. After Detroit, Illinois will host Winthrop on Nov. 21 in a final tune up for West Virginia on Nov. 24.
In the win against McKendree, six players scored in double figures, and the team showed it was capable of producing without star guard Malcolm Hill dominating the offense. Hill was held to three points but got some much-needed rest with Illinois dominating the game.
Another bright spot for Illinois was the solid play of point guard Te'Jon Lucas off the bench. Filling in for Tracy Abrams, who was in foul trouble for most of the game, Lucas was 4-for-4 from the field, tallying nine points and six assists in 22 minutes.
"I was just ready when my number was called," Lucas said. "I thought our ball movement was great today; we had a lot of assists. I think we had 20 assists and a couple turnovers, so that's just great."
Illinois will need to see sharp play from all of its guards against West Virginia and Bob's Huggins' stout full-court press. The Mountaineers were one of the top defensive teams in the country last season, and Huggins' teams have a knack for forcing turnovers and creating havoc on the court.
West Virginia is forcing 23.5 turnovers per game this season and averaging 97 points. While the Illini have seemed to be at their best when they can run the floor, the matchup with West Virginia might be better set for slowing down the pace and trying to limit the Mountaineer attack.
The matchup between the Mountaineers and Illini will be the Illinois' first time playing on an ESPN affiliate since their blowout win over Minnesota in last year's Big Ten Tournament. Illinois is 17-23 all-time playing on ESPN under Groce.

On a trip to the fish market in Puerto de la Cruz Huanacaxtle, "Tiernito," one of the local fish mongers gave me his recipe for pescado sarandeado with two different sauces.
9 pound red snapper butterflied, washed and patted dry.
Melt the butter. Mix the rest of the ingredients into the melted butter.
Using a comal, roast the Guajillo chiles on both sides. Make sure not to burn them because they will make the sauce bitter. Place the roasted Guajillos in a bowl with enough hot water to cover. Leave in the water for 10 to 15 minutes. Toast the Guajillo seeds until aromatic and place in a blender. Add the softened Guajillo chiles, onion, garlic cloves, black pepper corns, marjoram, and salt. Blend until liquefied. Place the sauce through a strainer. Heat the canola oil and butter in a cazuela or heavy pot. When really hot, add strained Guajillo sauce. Cook the sauce for about 30 to 40 minutes or until you can see the bottom of the pot while stirring. Allow to cool.
Heat the grill to medium to medium high. Prepare a grill rack for fish with canola oil. On the flesh side of one half of the fish cover with the Salsa Huevona and on the other half cover the flesh with the Guajillo sauce. Place the fish inside the grill rack and put it flesh side down. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until sauce is nice and golden. Turn it over and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes or until fish cooked throughout. Take of the grill and serve with rice and beans or salad.


One of the first things you learn in driver's education class and a point that will be reminded again when you take a defensive driving course is that signaling your intentions is essential to safe driving. A large number of accidents that occur are a result of drivers failing to notify surrounding vehicles of their lane changes.
We've all experienced an incident at one time or another when a someone suddenly cut in front of us from another lane without using their turning signal. Even the most alert drivers are often forced to hit their brakes when this occurs and that, of course, can set off a chain of events during particularly congested traffic. Some drivers feel they're properly signaling by doing so a split second before they make the lane change but that simply isn't sufficient in most cases.
The best way to inform other drivers of your plans to change lanes is by doing so with as much notice as possible. This allows your fellow drivers to make any adjustments to their speed that might be necessary to safely accommodate your maneuver. It's always better to turn your signal on when you're trying to make a change of lane in tight traffic because it often leads to another driver letting you in. This is something you should be sure to repay the next time you see a driver in need of a little help in this area. It should also be noted that early signaling is important when making a turn or exiting to on an off ramp as well as lane changes.

As a teenager, Donna was a fashion model. She lived a full life, moving from California to the Indian Ocean (as a Navy enlistee) to Las Vegas, where she became a dancer. And then her life took an unexpected turn with a diagnosis of Huntington's disease, a hidden gene lurking in her family tree. To us, Donna is still very much the model, her unique beauty alive in her eyes and winning personality. At Good Sam, "everyone is someone," and Donna is a very special someone to us.


So what do you need to think about for a entrance gate at your home, here are some really helpful questions to ask.
1) Why do you want a gate?
Start by thinking about what you want the gate to do, as this will narrow down your choices of gate styles that work for your requirements.
2) What kind of gate do you want?
The quickest way to answer this is ask for advice from an experienced gate dealer. They know the right questions to ask you and will help with recommendations, based on their vast experience.
Ultimately help from a gate expert could save you from a costly mistake of a poorly done gate, which is not fit for its intended purpose. Done well, a gate is not only a practical solution but an attractive addition to your home.
3) How much will it cost?
That depends on what kind of gate you choose and whether additional options, such as automation will be included. It is best to ask the experts for a proper quote, as they will price a gate for you once they have worked out exactly what you want.
Keep in mind the importance of good quality gates when you make your final choice. A high quality gate is designed for ease of use and longevity, which is particularly important in a harsh NZ climate. A 5 year warranty on HomePlus gates and installation goes a long way to reassuring you about our quality.
4) Haven't you got an off the shelf option?
Despite the increasing availability of standardised, off the shelf building products, including gates, we don't recommend these. Apart from the problem of these generally being a lower quality product, how many homes have a "standard size" opening that fits a "standard size" gate straight off. Choosing standard means compromise and we don't think you should have to; our gates are custom made to make sure the gate fits the opening perfectly.
As with any building product, design choices need to be balanced with practical considerations and vice versa. Our experienced dealers can work with you to come up with a gate solution, which is not only right for your unique situation but is built to last.

DOI link for Woodrow Wilson
Woodrow Wilson book
ByJohn A. Thompson
eBook Published 14 December 2015
SubjectsHumanities
Thompson, J. (2002). Woodrow Wilson. London: Routledge, https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315843247
Most famous in Europe for his efforts to establish the League of Nations under US leadership at the end of the First World War, Woodrow Wilson stands as one of America's most influential and visionary presidents. A Democrat who pursued progressive domestic policies during his first term in office, he despised European colonialism and believed that the recipe for world peace was the self-determination of all peoples, particularly those under the yoke of the vast Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires. His efforts to resist heavy reparations on Germany fell on deaf ears, while the refusal of France, Russia and Britain to accept a League of Nations led by America, together with the US Senate's refusal to ratify the League, led to its ultimate failure.
Woodrow Wilson has traditionally been seen by both admirers and critics as an idealist and a heroic martyr to the cause of internationalism. But John Thompson takes a different view, arguing that Wilson was a pragmatist, whose foreign policy was flexible and responsive to pressures and events. His conclusion, that Wilson was in fact an exceptionally skilful politician, who succeeded in maintaining national unity whilst leading America onto the world stage for the first time in its history, offers a challenging interpretation for anyone interested in the man and his era.

DIY guillotine suicide
A man in Detroit built a guillotine and used it to commit suicide in the woods:
Allen Park Deputy Police Chief Dale Covert said the roughly six-foot tall guillotine was bolted to a tree and included a swing arm. Covert said police also found several store receipts detailing the materials used to assemble the device.
"I can't even tell you how long it must have taken him to construct," he said. "This man obviously was very determined to end his life."
This is not the first such incident; some three years ago, a man in Sheffield killed himself in a similar fashion, after telling relatives he was building a toy car as a surprise.
