SOFT GUITAR MUSIC PLAYS
Georgie: Close your eyes and take it way back. Try to remember a quintessential childhood moment, something that encapsulates the best parts of being a kid. Getting lost in your own backyard. Long summer days. Cartoons in your jammies. Playing make-believe. Can you remember the feeling of possibility and wonder?
Anna: That is Georgina Hahn, one of our producers on the show. And she's telling us about something that's very close to her heart - letting our inner child out so our most authentic selves can shine. And she even has a name for it.
Georgie: I call it Lamby. Lamby is writing in my room, surrounded by the soft and tender, exploring my thoughts and feelings. It's waking up to my roommates cooking breakfast, and cuddling my stuffed Lamby in my matching adult-sized pajama set.
But it's about so much more than that, too. Lamby is kind of a way of life for me, reaching out to my inner child, taking care of her, looking out for her, helps me create a life of curiosity and openness. To go easy and not be so concerned with what other people think. It's about giving ourselves permission to be, well, unapologetically Lamby.
MOOD RING THEME
Anna: I'm Anna Borges, and this is Mood Ring, a practical guide to feelings—especially the feelings so specific, you make up words for them.
As you might have guessed, I tapped Georgie to kick us off because—well, I'm not very lamby. Or at least, I didn't think I was when Georgie first introduced me to the idea. It sounded cute and optimistic and happy, and when Georgie explained it to me with like the earnestness of a baby lamb, I had to admit to her that I had never related to anything less in my life.
So, naturally, we had to do an episode on it. That is the challenge we set for ourselves, right? To occasionally give something a try, even when you're convinced it is not for you.
Which is exactly why I wanted Georgie to steer us today, so we could learn direct from the source: what can channeling our inner child look like when we don't associate childhood with tenderness and softness? Or, what might be getting in our way? First, I talked to Georgie about all things Lamby.
Anna: For our listeners, but also still for me, I feel like I go back and forth whether or not I understand Lamby, so, what is Lamby, when and how did you come up with it?
Georgie: Okay. Lamby is being unapologetically connected to your inner child and those desires and being tender and being soft and also really leading with that, putting that on your sleeve and putting the sort of gentle vibe forward. And it came about from a stuffed animal that my grandma sent me on Easter when I was 20 or 21, living with my best friend. And we got this like cute little lamb and we would like, just bring her everywhere and do photo shoots with her. And like, just like she was a character in our house. When I moved to New Mexico, I had a radio show called the Lamby Hour on a community radio station. I made a ton of friends through the radio show who were all Lamby? And so I was like, just really beautiful that I feel like the, the energy I was putting out there was really coming back to me and who I was getting to know.
Anna: What I love is before this interview, I was like, please use Lamy in a sentence. Is it a verb? Is it an adjective? And it, it's like a state of mind, it could be an adjective. Like you're so Lamby. But it's also kind of stands out as like a value, like a value system for how you make decisions in your life. You know, like, is this Lamby, is this not Lamby? This place is not Lamby. This place is Lamby. It's, I'm, I'm really into it.
Georgina: A hundred percent. And I think also it helps me sort of make decisions about like what environments I put myself into. Cuz it just feels like so important that I like try and keep that constant in, in terms of like the people that I spend time with, the activities, the, the food, the clothes, like literally down to just like how I feel in my body.
Anna: So, if people who are listening are also kind of doing the same thing, like, what is that for me? Do you have a recommendation of where they start?
Georgie: I think it's just noticing when do I feel cozy? Kind of like when, when do I feel like safe? Is it just that moment when I make myself a cup of coffee and like feel the warmth to my body? Like who are the people and what are resources around me that are going to kind of evoke that feeling? I think also like putting aside some time each week to be like, I'm just, I'm going to have an afternoon to myself and just do what I'm gonna enjoy doing. [Anna: Mhmm] Also, yeah, like when you wake up, like, okay, is there any room for some Lambiness today? Is there any like, anything on my agenda that I can approach with softness instead of, um, my usual hardness?
Anna: Have you, have you felt pressure to not be Lamby and like had to reclaim your lambiness?
Georgie: I think it was hard in high school and college to be in a very like, like NYU was so cool. You know, like everyone was trying to be so edgy and cool that I think it took a long time to stop trying to be cool and just embracing kind of the nerd. It's not even nerdy but…
Anna: Ooh, this thing that Georgie completely made up is speaking to me. But as people may or may not know, if they follow me on twitter I recently fell back into like being like into fandom and fanfic too. And like, I've like kind of like been unabashed about talking about it with like people I work with and some of them are like, I don't know how to respond to this. Like isn't' that a weird thing? And I've like, felt like, so for lack of a better word, annoying, but it's because I'm not like worrying about sounding cool. And the kind of like unselfconscious, I don't know enthusiasm.
Georgie: Yeah. And I think to be honest, you will weed some people out, like some people will be like, that's weird. But then on the other side you'll then become like a magnet for people who are your same kind of vibe. And that's really cool to see happen.
Anna: Okay, so I did find a way to connect with this idea after all. But I still wondered… what do you do if this lamby stuff doesn't come so easily? After the break, we talk with someone who helps us understand our inner child. Stay with us.
MIDROLL
Anna: Hey, welcome back to Mood Ring. Before the break, our producer Georgina Hahn and I were chatting through some ways we can channel our inner child. But even though I was starting to get on board with the concept, I still had some questions. Like, what happens if my inner child wasn't very joyful or tender or free? What if I'm not sure who I'm connecting with?
To help, I talked with Bernice Angoh, a writer, mystic, poet and author of Dear Me: Love letters to my inner child. She gave us some more perspective on how connecting with our inner child often needs to start from a place of healing and discovery.
Anna: If you could kick us off by telling us a little bit more about inner child work and what that even means, I'd so appreciate it.
Bernice: Oh, okay. No problem. First of all, how do we define the inner child? I define the inner child as the original you. The you before all the conditioning from culture, from religion, from society, from politics. So, who were you when you still had that sensitivity? That joie de vivre, you know, like you just had this wonder, this great imagination and that's the part of you, that's your inner child. When there were no limits to anything.
Anna: Oh man. In my head I'm like, oh, who is that? I don't even know anymore. I feel like there's a lot of, a lot of bull crap piled on top of, of, of her.
Bernice: A lot, a lot. Because we are born into our families and we spend so many years of our lives trying to retrace our steps, to go back to being that free unapologetic, authentic self.
Anna: Absolutely. And so inner child work is the work of, reconnecting with that authentic you.
Bernice: Yes. But in order to reconnect, you, you do have to, to retrace your steps because you have to take a, a deep look into your family history, into your family dynamics, into so much of what has made you, you and into your society also. Cause a lot of the times we end up becoming what our family and society has prescribed for us. And we basically, I always say we put our inner child in a perpetual timeout. It's like, hush, I don't want to hear anything you have to say, who are you anyway? You know? And so being able to re-parent or to nurture our inner child, that's where the healing, you know, begins to be able to know where the shame comes from, where the guilt comes from, where the blame comes from, and all that hurt and hiding comes from.
Anna: Man, so how do we like begin spending like time with this inner child?
Bernice: So, the first thing that I usually tell people to do is to get- look for a picture of yourself when you are a child. I have this picture of me when I was five years old, and I used to put it in my wallet. I used to put it on, you know, on my phone, on my screen. And when I start to have that negative self talk, I would look at that little girl and imagine that that's the person I'm talking to. And I'd be disgusted, like how dare you? You know, this child didn't know any better. They were young. They didn't, you know, they didn't deserve this to happen to them. So, you start to speak to yourself with a, with a little more tenderness and compassion and forgiveness. This child needs your guidance. This child doesn't have a clue about navigating this life. So you are the parent now to yourself, you're your own mother and father. How would you treat that you? And then you bring it back to yourself now as an adult, right? Because that's the same person.
MUSIC — lyrics: "All my clothes are slightly dirty … all my thoughts are clean …"
Anna: Obviously, the first thing I wanted to do after talking with Bernice was find a picture of young me. And in the spirit of Lamby, I asked Georgie if she'd find one, too.
Anna: Describe to the class what we're seeing.
Georgie: Okay. So this is a photo of me and my great-grandmother in Hungary, outside of her house. So I'm wearing, like a polo dress shirt and I'm wearing papucs, which are Hungarian little slippers. They're red with embroidery. And, I found a turtle that was on its back. And my great-grandmother used that broom to flip it over onto its belly. [Anna: oh my god] And the feeling is kind of just like, like just sort of excitement and like-
Anna: It looks like you're yelling. Your arms are thrown behind you [laughs].
Georgie: I always loved being like, let's go do this. Kinda like, the catalyst.
Anna: So the you in this picture, how, how do you think she would hope you were spending your time right now?
Georgie: Having fun, spending time with other people and doing things that are Lamby. Is that a cop out? No, like, I don't know. I just feel like young me would want the vibrant excitement and compassionate feelings to like lead my life.
Anna: It sounds like the young you in the picture would be very happy with how you're living right now.
Georgie: I think so.
Anna: Aww, so sweet. Does this mean I have to share mine now?
Georgie: Yes. Your turn!
Anna: So this is me. Uh, God. Oh, there's so many different things I'm now noticing about this picture now that I'm gonna walk through it. This is what I consider our old house, you know, when I like dream of the old house, and it's me outside in one of those little, god, it must be even smaller than it looks because I am a small child, but like a little plastic pool and I am laying down in it. My like legs are floating, but like I'm reclining against the side of the pool. And my like arms are crossed over my stomach, like comfortable. And I'm smiling for the camera, which, you know, stops when you hit a certain year in my photo albums. And like, I'm like winking because the sun was in my eye as I was like having this picture taken. There's someone there adding more water to the pool. There's like a football in the background. It's just like, it's very, I don't know, summer vibes. Just peaceful summer vibes. And the reason I picked it is because like very specifically, one thing that I know about myself is I really, really like being in the water. I think the most Lamby, I feel like the most expansive my world feels. So when I saw this picture, I was like, hmm, young me, in this picture would not be happy with how I was spending my summer. But I think I'm getting there. Like, I think like with the creativity that I'm bringing into my summer already, she's happy with that. She's also a very imaginative young girl. She loves making believe. Oh my God, the amount of make believe we played. Ugh. Oh, I love her! But yeah, I think, I think what I've been realizing lately is she would not be the most happy with how I'm spending my time.
Georgie: How would they hope you're spending your time?
Anna: I think she would want me to have more outlets for creativity and imagination. And water. Before we end, what is the lambiest thing you're gonna do today? Once we're done?
Georgie: Well, I was gonna go to the pool, so yeah, I also have great childhood pool water memories.
Anna: Thank you so much for sharing Lammy with us. I'm really excited for finding my version of it.
MUSIC - lyrics: I have a way for us … I have a plan for me … I know who I want to be …
Anna: When I sat down to write the conclusion to this episode, I read back through that last bit conversation to get my bearings and you guess what? Like, I do want to spend more time playing and less time working, so I decided to call it a wrap there and go play video games. Which means this episode is almost over. Young Me is pretty pleased with that decision. And I hope you ask your inner child what they want for you today, too.

Don't Ask Tig


In April 2001, the Omani Ministry of Defense ("MOD") issued a circular to overseas defense manufacturers, stating that the Ministry would not allow such entities to have an Omani agent, except in exceptional circumstances approved by the Ministry.
However, in 2003, both Oman's Appeal and Supreme Courts ruled that the MOD letter had no legal effect, as it was not a promulgated Omani statute. These Courts stated that Oman's Law of Commercial Agencies still applied.
Then, in 2005, the Law of Commercial Agencies was amended by Royal Decree. The wording of the amendment stated that contracts for the purchase of weapons or ammunition or all types of military equipment could be entered into directly between the MOD and the overseas defense manufacturer.
However, the amendment to the law did not prohibit an overseas defense manufacturer from having an Omani agent. The true construction of the relevant sentence shows that the law is simply saying that an agent is no longer mandatory for defense contracts.
Nonetheless, regardless of the law, the practical truth is that, unless the MOD agrees in advance, it prefers agents not be involved in such transactions.
There is often a lot of confusion about the effects of Oman Court judgments and Oman arbitral awards rendered in Oman. This post should provide some clarity.
First, there is a distinction between court judgments and arbitral awards.
A final, non-appealable Oman Court judgment should be automatically enforced in any of the other GCC states, by virtue of the 1996 Treaty for the Enforcement of Judgments, Judicial Delegation, and Courts Summons between the Arab Gulf Countries Cooperative Council (AGCC).
Outside the GCC, it is unlikely that a final Omani court judgment would be automatically enforceable. Almost certainly, the case would have to be heard again by the courts of that country.
Second, there are two relevant types of arbitral awards in Oman. The first type is an arbitral award rendered in Oman. This award should be automatically enforced in any country which, like Oman, has signed the 1958 New York Convention on the Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the "NY Convention"). Under the requirements of the NY Convention, any country that is a member of the convention is required to give effect to private agreements to arbitrate disputes. In addition, member countries are required to recognize and enforce arbitration awards made in another contracting country. Oman signed the NY Convention in 1999 and currently there are 144 member countries worldwide.
A second type of arbitral award involves those awards rendered in a fellow member state of the NY Convention. If the respondent to the claim fails to pay the award, the claimant may seek to enforce the award in an Omani court.
This particular scenario has not yet been tested in Omani courts, but the terms of the NY Convention would require the Omani court to enforce the arbitral award, just as the courts of all signatories to the NY Convention.
Globally, businesses are preparing plans for dealing with outbreaks of H1N1 at work. Businesses in Oman should also consider implementing readiness plans for dealing with an outbreak and for complying with the Omani Labour Law.
A plan for how essential business operations will continue if there is an increase in employee absence.
Companies in Oman seeking to own land are subject to a number of restrictions under Omani law. The land or real property owned by a company in Oman must be used only for the limited purpose of furthering the objects of the company such as for building the administrative office, warehouse, staff residences, etc. An exception has been made in relation to wholly owned Omani companies whose business objects include owning, developing, and disposing of real property. Additionally, certain wholly owned GCC companies with real estate development objects have also been exempted from this legal stipulation for restricted use of land.
The owner may not dispose of the land before the completion of the legally stipulated number of years from the time of acquiring title to it.
One option available to non-GCC companies in Oman that are interested in real estate development is to obtain usufruct rights over the land. Usufruct is a right in land acquired from the owner of the land to exploit and benefit from the land. Usufruct can be obtained for a maximum initial term of fifty years extendable for further terms. The owner of the land must obtain the mandatory governmental approvals before granting usufruct rights. A company can obtain rights to beneficial use of the land by entering into a usufruct agreement with the owner which is subject to government approvals for the usufruct and for the development plans.
An important consideration for companies seeking to undertake construction or engineering projects in Oman is potential liability for that work. The Law on Engineering Consultancy Offices (Royal Decree 120 of 1994) states that engineering consultancies in Oman shall be jointly responsible with the contractor who executes the work for flaws in the project for ten years from the handover date.
The law does include a limitation on this joint responsibility, stating that if the engineering consultant performs design work only, without supervision or execution, the design office will be responsible only for the design defects.
Oman's Standard Documents for Building and Civil Engineering Works are also useful in clarifying the scope of liability for engineering designers and contractors. The standard construction contracts which are used in government projects, state in Article 62(4), that the entity executing the construction will be liable for 10 years as regards "unsound construction, other than design defects". In other words, the normal standard contract would appear to exclude any liability falling upon the construction entity for design flaws.
For companies planning to complete projects by dividing engineering design and construction work, one option for limiting the liability of the constructing entity to construction flaws only is to procure a back to back indemnity from the designer on the project. The indemnity would state that the designer will indemnify the construction company for any design defects.
The law does not define what constitutes engineering work. The law suggests that the design and construction of buildings and structures constitute engineering work, but this should not be narrowly construed as there are many aspects to engineering services in Oman, from feasibility studies through to architectural services and civil works which may be captured by this law.
It makes little sense when the reports produced will be superseded by subsequent developments.
In such instances, it ultimately depends on the commercial arrangements between the parties.
Another insurance issue is the type of insurance policy which needs to be obtained. The Insurance Law (Royal Decree 12 of 1979) stipulates that except for life insurance, contracts of insurance shall not be effected with foreign insurance companies which operate outside Oman. Companies taking out insurance policies for their engineering work need to ensure that the insurance company they contract with has a corporate presence in Oman which can receive and respond to any claims.
The Commercial Registration Certificate of an Omani company (such as a limited liability company and a joint stock company) is available from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry for a small fee. It sets out certain information on the company including the names of the authorised managers and signatories of the company.
The Commercial Registration Certificate specifies the type of authorisation for the authorised managers and signatories - the options are full, financial, technical and/or administrative. The authorisation can be for one person to act individually or jointly with another person. It can also include an authorisation limit for financial matters which can be a set monetary amount or unlimited.
Under Article 153 (Binding effects of manager's acts) of the Commercial Companies Law, a limited liability company shall be bound by all acts performed by its managers acting in the company's name and within the scope of their authority. Any bona fide third party shall be entitled to assume that any act done by the managers of the company in the course of its business comes within the scope of the manager's authority, and the company shall be bound thereby unless the limitation of the manager's authority is registered in the Commercial Registration Certificate. Article 104 (Binding effect of acts of the company) of the Commercial Companies Law sets out a similar requirement for joint stock companies for the board of directors, chairman, and managing directors of the company.
Therefore when doing business with an Omani company, the most prudent course of action is to ensure that all documents signed by that company are signed by an authorised signatory or signatories with the relevant authority as set out in the Commercial Registration Certificate. This will avoid the situation where the authority of the signatory or signatories signing on behalf of the company may be challenged at a later date.
After years of remarkable expansion followed by a precipitous decline in the wake of the global financial crisis, the credit market for international water and power projects (IWPPs) in Oman and the GCC appears poised for a recovery.
While 2008 saw a project volume in the Middle East of about US$50 billion, nearly six months passed before the GCC saw its first IWPP financing of 2009. Bahrain's Addur IWPP closed on 29 June, raising US$2.1 billion and bringing the overall project volume for the region to US$6.7 billion for the year.
The financial crisis forced project lenders to write down the value of project debt, driving up the cost of borrowing. Further, it wiped out the secondary market for project loans as banks shunned the formerly popular practice of packaging debt in off-balance sheet vehicles.
The capital that commercial banks were willing to lend came at a higher cost and decreased tenor. Whereas tenors running from 15 to 20 years at 100 bps over Libor were once common, the Addur project received debt at a tenor of eight years at 350 bps over Libor. Today, the cost of capital averages at 250 bps over Libor.
The revival of IWPPs in the region has been driven by loosening credit conditions linked to new trends in IWPP finance. Specifically, banks are making increasing use of hard or soft mini-perm structures. In a hard mini-perm, debt is offered at a short tenor, in the range of seven years, requiring early refinancing. In a soft mini-perm, a longer tenor is used, but incentives are used to encourage the lender to refinance well before maturity.
Another key trend has been the rising profile of export credit agencies and international development banks. Export credit bodies provide access to large amounts of relatively inexpensive capital and offer added confidence to commercial banks. Development banks have also played a key role by providing an additional source of capital and a backstop for project debt.
Finally, banks have been favoring government supported projects. For instance, an IWPP with a concession or off-take agreement is a stronger candidate for financing given its relatively secure future cash flows. Additionally, governments may guarantee the obligations of state-owned parties entering into such agreements.
Increasing electricity and water demand has led the government of Saudi Arabia to tender projects in form of engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) contracts, rather than build, own, operate (BOO) or build, own, transfer (BOT) contracts.
Oman aims to avoid such a measure. Continuing on its program of privatization, Oman expects to see the close of a club financing of an IWPP in Salalah this year. RFPs have been released for projects at Barka, Sohar, Duqum, and Ghubrah, with another for an IWPP in Mirbat on the way. Additional projects are being studied, including a solar plant in the south of the country.
In past projects, the Oman Power & Water Procurement Company (OPWP) has entered into off-take agreements. In the case of the Barka and Sohar IPPs, the OPWC will purchase the output under a 15-year agreement.
Labor and Employment – Fulfilling the Omanisation requirements during the life of the project.
As the credit market revives -- and as the oil prices rebound -- Oman grows increasingly likely to meet its goal of increasing output through an ambitious program of privatization.

Thieves pinched the credit card data for hundreds of attendees of two conferences held in Boston, a city in the US state of Massachusetts, this past autumn.
The Boston Globe said on Wednesday that victims have reported fraudulent purchases made on their accounts around the US and overseas.
It's unclear how the thieves got the card numbers, although many victims said they used their credit cards in Boston restaurants and businesses – particularly in the Seaport District, where the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center that they were attending is located.
Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, told the Boston Globe that this is the first time his group has experienced such a thing.
The group hosted 13,000 convention-goers in early November, out of which, so far, 100 have reported that fraud was carried out on their accounts.
In one case, a crook tried to make a $100,000 purchase on one of the accounts.
Another 200 people reported unauthorized charges after attending the annual conference of the American Society of Human Genetics, which hosted 8,000 attendees at the convention center in October.
The Boston businesses that could prove to be the weak spot have claimed that they're not the source of the breach.
For its part, the public authority that runs the convention center – Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) – said that the data breach didn't happen inside the convention hall.
After running internal checks and working with our customers, we found that no alleged theft occurred in any MCCA facility and appeared to occur at bars and restaurants across the city.
James E. Rooney, Executive Director of the MCCA, said in a statement that seven of its own employees were also victimized in the breach.
The general manager of a hotel connected to the convention center that hosted many attendees, the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, also told the Boston Globe that the breaches hadn't originated in its systems.
A spokeswoman for the Briar Group, which owns M.J. O'Connor's Restaurant as well as City Bar inside the Westin, told the Boston Globe that its security consultants hadn't detected any system problems and that the company complies with security standards as outlined by the payment card industry.
So, at the moment, it's unclear where the source of the data breach is.
Let's hope it turns up soon so no one else falls victim.
In cases like this, either they're missing something, or they can match up charges from the individuals from the breach to see what they have in common other than the conventions, then see if other non-convention goers with charges from the same places also have had problems. It could very well be that during conventions, some waiter at a nearby restaurant is skimming corporate card numbers when they're used as payment.
This was skimming case so it may leave zero trace and MCCA could be telling lies. There are too many complaints for it to be coincidence.
Given the number of cards numbers that were compromised, you'd think the card companies could zero in on the leak source pretty quickly.
Yeah, I'd be looking at surrounding businesses. I'm sure the inflow of card skimmers and convention-goers is directly related.
I work in the area and also had my credit card info stolen at the same time. I belong to a gym at a local hotel and have used my card in the area..have never been to the convention center or Westin. Maybe a coincidence, but I am suspicious.

Pittsburgh Pop Royalty Visit
Rick Sebak of the Pittsburgh Magazine, has written the following article about the time 'Music Royalty' Michael Jackson performed at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in 1988, during the second USA leg of his successful 'BAD' world tour.
Already world-famous for his energetic singing and dancing, Michael Jackson was 12 years old when he first came to Pittsburgh with his four older brothers to perform at the Civic Arena on July 30, 1971. They returned to the arena in July 1972 and July 1973; when they came in 1974, they performed at Three Rivers Stadium. In October 1979 and August 1981 — now as The Jacksons, rather than The Jackson 5 — they were back at the arena.
Despite all those earlier shows, Michael's solo appearance here in 1988 seems to be his best-remembered trip to Pittsburgh. Having just conquered Europe and the United Kingdom, he kicked off the second American leg of his phenomenally successful 'BAD' tour with three shows at the Civic Arena on Sept. 26, 27 and 28.
People who worked at the arena at the time recall the preparation as extraordinary. It was helpful that Michael's manager, the late Frank DiLeo, was a native of Point Breeze who wanted his family and friends to see the show. A trio of arena employees travelled to the tour's first domestic dates at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo., seven months in advance, to check out the innovative presentation.
Ida D'Errico, then the Civic Arena Corporation's director of marketing and public relations, remembers that show:
"Everyone in the audience — which included many well-dressed families — was riveted to the stage, mesmerized and awestruck. With everyone standing on their chairs, you couldn't take your eyes off Michael for fear of missing something."
By that time, Michael was already notoriously eccentric and fearful of bacteria, and he had lots of special requirements in his contract. He insisted on a leather couch in the dressing room — black, navy or gray — which D'Errico borrowed from Kaufmann's.
Michael stayed in the penthouse suite at the Vista (now the Westin Convention Center Pittsburgh). D'Errico remembers that a "professional wooden dance floor" had to be installed there so Michael could practice — and "cool down" after his shows.
The three nights sold out quickly. Michael pleased everyone with a set list that included a Jackson 5 medley as well as huge production numbers for 'Thriller' and 'Smooth Criminal,' ending the main set with an unmatched trio of hits: 'Beat It,' 'Billie Jean' and 'BAD.'
Local music reviewers liked the shows. Peter B. King of The Pittsburgh Press wrote, "It ain't natural how Jackson moves, like liquid that somehow holds to a human form." Scott Mervis of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was impressed, too: "The show was fresh and even 'bad' (in the street sense of the word)."
D'Errico remembers that the gray couch was returned to Kaufmann's, but it had been scarred with lots of cuts and scratches. Jackson's costume was decorated with many metal buckles that tore into the leather over the three days that he sat on it. When D'Errico explained to the department store what caused the damage, she wasn't held responsible. As she pointed out, the couch was now a priceless collector's item.

There are 19 autonomous regions in Spain, each with its own capital. Andalucia is the largest of these regions and its capital is Sevilla. Each region has a number of provinces. In Andalucia, there are eight provinces and Marbella is in the Málaga province. Many of the cities and towns in Spain hold fiestas each year and there is usually a local public holiday to celebrate the event. In Marbella, June 11 is a public holiday. San Pedro, which is an area of Marbella, has its own holiday on October 19th.

I started a part-time practice in classical homeopathy. My background in Education made me a candidate to serve as a commissioner on the Accreditation Commission for Homeopathic Education in North America (ACHENA). Just as Southwestern College has grown over the years through the process of accreditation, so now I am working to assist the organization that accredits schools of homeopathy. I find that interesting!

Aggaro, one of the 10 cities of Jimma Zone, was founded from the five Gibe dynasties which were Limmu, Gumma, Gomma, Gerra and Jimma by the Gomma King Abaaboka in 18th century. According to historians, at that time residents in the area were settlers of Oromo ethnic known as Mecha found from mecha Oromo which are called Awaleni, Jida, bedi, bed and Enerata ,Endocho, Jarso Balto Legade and seyo ethnics.
Found at the west of Jimma 45 km far, Agaro is known for being a hub for coffee and it is a place for over 1000 coffee seed genes, untouched resources and natural endowments such as forests and rivers as well as ancient mosques which are favorable for investment and tourists attractions.
Agaro is named after a plant seed called Agaro and is surrounded by rivers called Temsa, Dogja, Kore, Chesech.
Agaro was also a market hub in ancient Ethiopia chained in trade with surrounding cities bartering various goods. Aggaro officially demarcated as a small town in 1928 and started its developmental journey though a road constructed from Jimma to Aggaro in 1958 which has opened a door for more growth and development in infrastructure, trade and investment.
Since that time, the town commenced a wide range of development from time to time. Primary and secondary schools established, telephone and communication technologies expanded. Currently the city has hotels, business centers, coffee processing and research centers, and parks and youth centers.
According to Jimma Zone City Development and Housing Bureau Head Elias Sherefo Aggaro has five sub cities with a total population of 91,400 composed of 46,470 male and 46,630 female which make their living mainly through agriculture, trade, wood works and other related fields.
The City has been chosen as a model city at a forum '1st Round City Forum' held recently in Jimma for its encouraging developmental progress.
"Aggaro has met the criteria to be a model City due to the progress it has showed in infrastructural and overall developments. Ranging from ensuring its residents socio-economic benefit from the city's development by solving housing and unemployment problems to involving its younger generation through job opportunities, the City has witnessed remarkable achievements."
According to him in the 1st GTP, the City Administration budgeting 200 million birr, it has undertaken various huge projects. It has built health and educational institutions, youth and market centers, and embarked on massive road infrastructural activities.
Similarly, 10.5 km asphalt road is underway in the city which costs 430 million and is expected to give service in three years. Also, Jimma University Agaro Campus is underway with a cost of 200 million birr which would further accelerate the city's developmental activity as well as widen the education scope of the area he furthered.
Agaro City Vice Mayor, Abay Bedada on his part said that as the State was a place where many developmental questions had been arisen. In response, the City Administration is working diligently giving priority to develop the City and make to residents part of the development.
"On the current budget year, through implementing city development policies and strategies to eradicate poverty and benefit the youth, the City Administration has registered 1,449 job seekers and has organized them in associations.
He further marked that the administration is working further to solve residents' development questions, reduce unemployment in the city and ensure peace and security in the area as well as keep Aggaro green and clean.
However, shortage of water and electricity is still a problem in the City which needs the attention of pertinent bodies, according to some of Aggaro residents.


As Rita MacNeil's CD, Now the Bells Ring, was playing in the background, I happily crossed off the last of my Christmas to do list today. The sun was attempting to make an appearance and my little world felt serene.
Soon my nest will be full, family will be together and company enjoyed. That's the best part of the Christmas season, being with those we love and enjoying the traditions we bring forward.
In between now and then, there should be some time to sneak away with a book and plan the next hooking project. Contented!!
May your Christmas be what you need it to be. Merry Christmas to you!
Maritime Mary: Christmas is Coming!
Growing older does have its perks. As we are firmly into the festive month of December, I've noticed that among our friends and others our age, we do less shopping, more visiting and gathering, more Christmas.
We are more acutely aware of the needs of others, those without. We notice the Salvation Army kettles more, stop more often, appreciating those who give of their time to sit with it. We read of the Christmas for Kids Angel Tree campaign, the planning of the community Christmas dinner for the 25th, and the Christmas Cheer Box Drive which sees all the local churches working together. These and other projects are in full swing all round this town, this province, this country.
I am grateful to live in a community, where all around the spirit of Christmas is alive and vibrant. To give is to receive.
The stockings are hung and the 'Holly and Ivy' dishes are out. The halls are decked and ready. We need not dream of a 'White Christmas as we have an abundance of snow.
Tonight my family will attend a Christmas Eve mass complete with pageant and then we will welcome friends for a small gathering. Simple traditions are the most treasured.
I am very thankful. Peace to you all. Merry Christmas!

Q: when to override hashcode and equals method in java Couple of questions and explanation is required for hashcode and equals method in hashcode. Below are the questions :

*

*when does the hashcode and equals gets called during put or get ?

*When we are storing custom object, then i found in every tutorials that we need to override hashcode. But if I donot override either, then it produces the same result. Except when I use new operator . Below is sample program :

I am storing employee objects into the hashmap and then i didnot override hashcode and equals method, then the code works as expected.
 Employee e1= new Employee("ram", 1000);
        Employee e2= new Employee("sai", 1001);
        Employee e3= new Employee("krishna", 1002);

        System.out.println("e1.hashCode() : "+e1.hashCode());
        System.out.println("e2.hashCode() : "+e2.hashCode());
        System.out.println("e3.hashCode() : "+e3.hashCode());

        Map<Employee, String> map= new HashMap<Employee, String>();

        map.put(e1, "employee1");
        map.put(e2, "employee2");
        map.put(e3, "employee3");

        for (Entry<Employee, String> entry : map.entrySet())
        {
            System.out.println(entry.getKey().getName() +"-"+entry.getKey().getid() + "-" + entry.getValue());
        }

        System.out.println(map.get(e3));
        System.out.println(map.get(new Employee("krishna", 1002)));

*When you override equals, what things need to be taken care.

*When you override hashcode , what things need to be taken care.

*When you override only equals, then the how the default hashcode will behave.

*When you override only hashcode, then how the default equals will behave.*

A: Read this Article for a detail explanation.
In short even when you don't implement hashCode and equals in your classes there is a default implementation being inherited from Object class. That is why you don't see any issues.
But you will definitely have issues when using Collections.

A: Hashcode and equals are needed to minimize collision. Your target will be to implement hashcode in such a way so that there is only one entry in a bucket. Equals will help you to distinguish between two entry where hashcodes are same. Hashcode and equals together decides if two keys are same. So if these are not taken care, two different custom object might be treated as same key and second one will replace the first one in map.
