The Borders Railway opens up Scotland's south-east corner, helping you discover its rich history and serene landscapes.
Rolling hills, open moorland and gentle valleys signal that you've reached Sir Walter Scott country, as you travel on the longest stretch of new passenger rail track to be built in the UK in over 100 years. Your destination is Tweedbank, a large village between Galashields and Melrose, and the most southerly stop on the Borders Railway.
But taking a trip into the Scottish Borders isn't just about the scenery. There are plenty of stops you can make along the 30-mile route, with things to do and see for children and grown-ups. You can take in the 19th century Baronial grandeur of Abbotsford house, home to Sir Walter Scott. If you prefer something a little more energetic, why not test your mettle on the 4 Abbeys cycle route, which takes in 55 miles of glorious Borders countryside.
Round off the trip by sampling some of the region's outstanding local produce, washed down with a distinctive ale or craft beer from a Borders brewery.
Your Borders adventure begins at Edinburgh's Waverley station with trains departing every 30 minutes during peak times.
Make your first stop at Eskbank where you can catch the bus to Roslin for the Rosslyn Chapel. It's a must visit for fans of The Da Vinci Code. Even if you're not, you won't fail to be impressed by the chapel's unique architecture and rich history.
Or get off at Newtongrange for the bus to Edinburgh Butterfly World. Younger children will love the daily events – if they're brave enough to hold a tarantula, snake or giant millipede.
Take the railway to its most southerly stop at Tweedbank and you'll find yourself in the heart of Borders country. Nearby Melrose is the home of rugby sevens, and the town takes on a carnival atmosphere in spring each year when the Melrose Sevens takes place.
A short bus ride south on the A7 will take you to historic Selkirk, where William Wallace was proclaimed Overlord of Scotland and Sir Walter Scott once served as Sheriff. The Selkirk Common Riding involves over 400 riders and is one of the oldest Border festivals, dating back to the Battle of Flodden in 1513.
You could get off the train one stop before Tweedbank at Galashiels, a boom town during the 19th century when the textile industry took off in the area. It's a joining point for National Cycle Network Route 1 – west to Innerleithen and Peebles, or east to Melrose, Newton St Boswells or Kelso. Alternatively, join the 4 Abbeys cycle route and visit the Scottish Borders' four famous abbeys: Melrose, Dryburgh, Kelso and Jedburgh.
Take the train to Eskbank station then hop on the bus for the short trip to Dalkeith Country Park. Give them some time to explore the magical turreted treehouses, suspension bridges, slides, climbing walls and secret tunnels before you all enjoy the seasonal, locally-sourced menu of the Restoration Café.
Start from Tweedbank and follow the 4 Abbeys cycle route to visit Melrose, Dryburgh, Kelso and Jedburgh Abbeys. All four were established in the 12th century and are steeped in the history of the area.
Abbotsford is less than two miles from Tweedbank station – you can catch the Borders Weaver bus at the station. Discover the house and extensive formal gardens and explore the 120-acre estate. Pop in to the award-winning visitor centre learn about the life and times of Sir Walter Scott and round off your visit with a spot of lunch or a picnic in the grounds.

Inside BJ's Big New Little Store
Photographs by WGB Staff
In a newly opened box that's modest by club-store standards and enormous as area food shopping options go, the membership warehouse club BJ's Wholesale Club hopes to make an outsized splash at its newest store, which opened in Long Island City, N.Y. Jan. 29.
The store, just a tad over 80,000 square feet, is relatively tight by the standards of BJ's, the Westborough, Mass.-based membership club whose largest units in suburban settings are more than double the size. But the new store's location in the dense and heavily trafficked crossroads of the Sunnyside, Long Island City and Astoria neighborhoods in Western Queens gives it access to about a half-million residents within two miles and more than 1 million within three, according to Heidenberg Properties Group, landlord of the Plaza 48 shopping center where the new store is located alongside a recently opened Burlington clothing store.

"We're excited to expand our footprint here in New York with the opening of our newest club in Long Island City," Antonio Ramos, general manager of the unit, said in a press statement. "Our team members have worked tirelessly to prepare for the club opening and we're so excited to bring a safe and convenient shopping experience to the local community."
BJ's said it helps its paid members save money and time by offering "unbeatable value" on a mix of everyday groceries, household essentials and big-ticket items like electronics, office supplies, clothing, toys and small appliances in one-stop shop. It says its grocery prices are about 25% cheaper than competitors, based on a basket of 100 national brand household staples, on an unpromoted unit-price basis, when compared to leading grocery chains in its existing trade areas.
Grocery selections offer value on family-size items from a tight mix of about 7,200 skus overall. BJ's officials say they have been working to refine the selection to pare down in some categories while growing selections of natural and organic goods, many under its Berkeley & Jensen private label.

A fresh meat department offers big packs of fresh cut items, large coffin-cases on the store floors and butchers who can custom cut at the window.
A look at the adjoining produce department. Bouyed by strong performance in the pandemic, BJ's officials have made no secret they would like to build faster. The Long Island City store in the second to open this year; BJ's opened in Newburgh, N.Y. last week. Plans call for at least six openings in the current fiscal year; the East Coast-focused company is also new markets for growth including Pittsburgh.
Workers—whose temperatures are checked as they report to work as a precaution against the coronavirus, BJ's said—sported TEAM LIC gear and masks with messages supporting the opening.
Signage throughout the unit promoted convenience features BJ's is now rolling out to its existing fleet including curbside pickup, pick up in-club, same-day grocery delivery, and delivery from BJs.com.
Nine Products Trader Joe's Customers Can't Live Without
Located at 34-60 48th Street, BJ's is directly across the street from an existing Stop & Shop, and just east of a high-volume Food Bazaar, all accessible by busy Northern Blvd. Its opening may take some heat off other BJ's units in the area including stores in nearby Queens neighborhoods of Ridgewood and Flushing. Long Island City is also home to a Costco.

Male or Female Guppy?
Guppytails
Just got a quick question. I'm separating the males and females into their own tanks. Usually its really easy to tell male from female because of the gonopodium or triangular fin/gravid spot.
This one doesn't have a gravid spot but the fin looks like a mix between the females triangular fin and a gonopodium so I'm not 100%.
Guppytails said:
Sorry about the pictures but it's difficult to get clear ones while its darting around.
Managed to get a clear picture
kallililly1973
Looks female to me.
coralbandit
Going to be a male IMO.
Kinda looks like a male to me and kinda like a female. Female guppies have colours only on their tail and males have colours on their bodies.
Could you provide us another picture?
Does this guppie has always open mouth?
emeraldking
It's definitely a male. The question will be: Is this a late male or a male that won't develop a full gonopodium? For it does happen that a male won't develop a fully developed gonopodium. If that will be the case, he won't be able to fertilize. A lot of late males will be larger than an average male of the same kind.
Guppytails I would say a male because I have one in my tank exactly the same and mines a male.
Thank you for the responses so far. It is larger in size and shape than the other males who were born around the same time. All of their gonopodiums were clear as day and they have a lot more colour to them than this guppy.
Its just I can't see a gravid spot on it, there are females considerably smaller than it who already have theirs, it's got a fair bit more colour on it compared to them though.
I just don't want to put it in the male tank and it get stressed out and die or have fry in there and try to fish them out in future if it is female.
If its male I don't want to leave it in a tank with about 40 females or I'll be in trouble.
There's a picture of the other males for comparison.
If its male I don't want to leave it in a tank with about 40 females or I'll be in trouble
It's definitely a male.
I sort my swordtails by sex and they do this way more often then gups .
Place that one with the males ..The only fish that will be stressed is the other males !
Thanks for the help everyone, I'll pop him in there now.
It's quite normal with late males which are larger than their male siblings to show less coloration on the body.

Award-winning book opens young eyes to difficult realities
Thursday, November 24th, 2016 5:07pm
Missing Nimâmâ: a powerful and emotional story which follows an Indigenous child raised by her grandmother after her mother disappears.
By Shari Narine
Windspeaker Contributor
"It's a love story between three generations of women," said Melanie Florence of her picture book Missing Nimâmâ, which recently won the 2016 TD Canadian Children's Literature Award.
But it's dark: that middle generation is a mother who has gone missing. She represents the hundreds of Indigenous mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts who have been murdered or are missing.
"I really felt that these women, and families that were left behind, didn't have a voice. They weren't being given a voice. Nobody was listening and I kind of felt that I could do that for them," said Florence.
Missing Nimâmâ is described as "a powerful and emotional story (which) follows an orphaned Indigenous child as she experiences important milestones in life after her mother's disappearance. From her first day of school to her first date and her wedding to first child, the spirit of her mother watches over her. Told in alternating voices of a mother and her child, the book is a free-verse story of love, loss and acceptance."
Valerie Picher, associate vice-president for community relations with TD Bank Group, said an independent panel consisting of education and literary representatives, judged the books on quality of text and illustration, and their overall contribution to Canadian children's literature.
"When you look at Missing Nimâmâ there's a huge education component around the realities of all of these large issues that are being shared today," said Picher.
She reflected on words spoken by Senator Murray Sinclair, previously chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, who emphasized the importance of education and talking about topics like this openly.
"So if we're going to make any progress around reconciliation we have to start with education," said Picher. "It's a very difficult topic and the author, and the illustrator as well, did an amazing job at providing that education in a way that is relatable."
It was a story that Florence felt needed to be told.
"I had been reading quite a bit about it. I have some friends on social media who have lost family members, who have gone missing or they haven't seen justice. And it really struck me that I wasn't seeing it covered in the news very much," she said.
On a visit to her editor's office, Florence saw the book The Stamp Collector. Published in 2012 and illustrated by François Thisdale, who eventually illustrated Missing Nimâmâ, The Stamp Collector is geared towards a young audience and has a darker tone. That spurred Florence into action.
Missing Nimâmâ is also geared towards a younger audience. While Florence sees it more readily reaching those 10 years and older, she says in the bookstores it's included with listings for a younger audience. She says she is aware of the book being discussed in middle grades and high schools and says it's a valuable tool in informing kids – who don't regularly read or watch the news – about what is happening in their world.
"It opens the dialogue about something these kids are not being taught, that they're not really seeing," she said.
Florence is publishing another novel, The Missing. This one is a young adult fiction that also talks about the subject, but from the perspective of a young Indigenous girl in Winnipeg, whose best friend goes missing, after the body of another young girl is found in the Red River.
Florence began her writing career working for magazines. Her work now includes both non-fiction and fiction which, she said, she sometimes has difficulty jumping between.
"I have, over the course of my career so far, written about issues that affect Indigenous people and Aboriginal characters," she said. "I really felt drawn to telling more of these stories where I didn't feel they were represented, especially for younger readers."
Her first book was Righting Canada's Wrongs: Residential Schools. She pursued the subject after listening to her grandfather's account of his time in a residential school.
"He was very deeply ashamed of who he was," she said. He only spoke about being Indigenous and his residential school experience when he was intoxicated.
Florence realized she was part Cree when she was in her late teens. Up until that point, growing up in a small Ontario town, predominantly all-white, she only knew of her Scottish heritage.
Once Florence found out about her Indigenous background she became drawn to it, she said, and embraced it.
The award earned Florence and Thisdale $30,000, which they will split. Florence will use her money to finish a studio on the grounds of her home in north Toronto.
She has about four or five books that will be published next year. One of those novels is about a "kid on reserve who is dealing with a suicide epidemic. Which is timely of course, because we're seeing a lot of that."

Glenn Hardie lets us know that another long-time member of the BC Humanist community has died.
It is with regret that I report the death of Kirsten Stromgren. She and her husband Borge were active members of BCHA for several years in the early 1990s. Kirsten was in her early nineties at the time of her passing.
Borge served on the Board as Treasurer for about 3 years, retiring to pursue other interests; he died several years ago. The Stromgrens hosted several memorable Danish-style garden lunch parties at their home during their involvement with BCHA.

June 2020 Grapevine
Posted bychurchhousepro June 6, 2020 Posted inBands We Love, Internet Music, Music Review, Recent Listening, Referred Music, VideoTags:Disconnect, Fire In The Radio, grapevine, June 2020 Grapevine, Six Organs Of Admittance, Smoke Fairies, The 101, The Have Nots, Tulare, x
June has arrived. We're in to the middle of the year 2020. And everything is still weird. I guess we're all just trying to make the best of what is turning out to be one of the strangest years I can remember. Part of me just wants it to be over. Fast forward to January 2021. But there's no way to tell if things will be any better by then. And I'm too old to be willing to give up six months of my time. So thank goodness we still have access to music and art. I miss the energy of seeing bands live, but I still have the ability to search out and find new (and sometimes old) music that can lift the spirits or make you think. With that in mind, let's take a look at what's cooking this month.
First Up: Six Organs Of Admittance – 'The 101'
One of the main thoughts constantly going through my head right now is "I wish I was……..". I wish I was hiking the edge of a cliff, going to view a glacier. I wish I was on a deep forest trail. This song is 'I wish I were on a two lane road, cruising up the California coast'. Route 101 runs up the west coast from Los Angeles, California to northern Washington. The song captures that windows down, cruising feel. Nice mix of acoustic and electric sounds. The acoustic repeating riffs create that trance like repetition with bursts of electric jam noise rolling in and out of the mix. The vocals are buried in the mix and maintain the trance inducing effect, like singing words to a song when you don't really know the lyrics (yup – do that all the time). I also like the video. The idea of hauling my guitar rig in to deserted woods and jamming away (yeah, I know, no electricity – remember, this is 'I wish'). Great shots of the strange and beautiful sights you see on that road. Roll down your windows and smoke 'em if ya got 'em.
Next Up: Fire In The Radio – 'Tulare'
Tulare is a great example of classic indie rock. The mix is exactly what I would want in a song. Instruments and vocals all hold their own clearly audible place in the mix. The guitars have a nice buzz but are crisp and sharp. Perfect snap on the snare drum, high enough in the mix to drive everything forward without over powering it. Changes in dynamics pull you in to the song. The band said they were trying to create a feel of nostalgia with the song and video and I think they absolutely achieved their goal. The video mix of band performance and old video scenes are a perfect background for the song, enhancing the feel of nostalgia the song is trying to deliver. There are many ways to enjoy a song. The movement and sound of each instrument, the sonic kick of a well placed chord or a change in dynamics. But one of the best is the emotion a song can make you feel. 'Tulare' certainly delivers that emotion.
Finally: Smoke Fairies – 'Disconnect'
We'll finish up with Smoke Fairies 'Disconnect' from their album 'Darkness Brings The Wonders Home'. It seems that I've put in three songs this month that all carry some emotional weight. In this song the emotion really comes to the front in the vocals and lyrics. They are put out in front of the musical elements of the song. The main vocal has a sad minor key feel and is presented in a lower register. The harmonies drift behind the main vocal. The music is carried by a guitar riff in the verses that turns to a more distorted chord pattern in the chorus. The drum sound in the back is pretty dry without a lot of reverb that would usually make the snare sound bigger. The main vocals are also relatively dry, which puts them more 'in your face'. It was a good choice for this song. Little mixing choices like that are really important in making a song 'feel' a certain way. I think they made all the right choices in 'Disconnect'.
Retro: X – 'The Have Nots'
X has to be one the most underappreciated bands to come out of the punk era. They put out a string of consistently amazing albums beginning with their debut album 'Los Angeles' (note – X just released a new album with the original line up). They mixed punk with rockabilly, indie rock, Americana and variety of other genres to create an amazing sound. On top was the always strange and interesting vocal mix of Exene and John Doe, with lyrics that ran more towards beat poetry than punk screaming. I've always felt that Billy Zoom's guitar playing was far above what you would hear in most rock bands, especially for bands that were put in to the 'punk' category. If you've ever worked at a job that was just a 'job' and remember surviving the day so you could meet your friends at the local dive, this song was written for you. Truth in lyrics = "Dawn comes soon enough for the working class. It keeps getting sooner or later. This is the game that moves as you play".

Q: Making refresh token api call every 60 minutes I currently have a refresh token api call in the function 'refreshToken()', which isn't shown in the below code but can be added if needed. In the root component's componentDidMount function I call refreshToken() with the purpose it will execute every 60 minutes. Not sure whether to use setInterval or setTimeout in this instance as I also store the tokens in localStorage. I'm also using the Spotify API and their OAuth that passes me the refresh and access tokens. I also realize I would need the token expiration time in localstorage so the timer doesn't reset on page reload, so how should I go about that as well? Below is the code I currently have.
App.js (root component)
componentDidMount(){
    var now = new Date();
    var delay = 60 * 60 * 1000; // 1 hour in msec
    var start = delay - (now.getMinutes() * 60 + now.getSeconds()) * 1000 + now.getMilliseconds();

    setTimeout(function() {
      setTimeout(refreshToken(), delay);
    }, start);

    if (window.localStorage.getItem('spotifyAccessToken')){
      this.getSpotifyData();
    }
}

A: componentDidMount() is only executed once (mdn) when the component mounts.
You have to use setInterval() to schedule it periodically.
And don't forget to cancel the timer in componentWillUnmount():
componentDidMount(){
   var delay = 60 * 60 * 1000; // 1 hour in msec

   this.timer = setInterval(
     () => refreshToken(),
           delay,
   );
}
componentWillUnmount() {
    clearInterval(this.timer);
}

Have you ever wanted to visit India?
The AOG is dedicated to improving the quality of life for less fortunate people around the globe.
All projects focus on sustainability and aim to enable local communities to become self-reliant.
In 2011, AOG members flew out to Chitrakoot, one of the most deprived areas of India. A treatment centre was set-up and the volunteer practitioners worked from a mobile unit to provide primary dental care to hundreds of the local people.
In 2013, the AOG returned to Chitrakoot for two new projects – one was researching the state of oral health in local communities and the other was involving training local advocates about the risks of smoking / betel quid.
* If you require any accommodation in Delhi or if you want to extend the holiday from 8th April 13, arrangements can be made at extra supplements.
The AOG is a charitable organisation that provides dental professionals a chance to 'give something back' to the community. It all started back in the 1970s's with dental students at the London Hospital in Whitechapel, who formed a friendship and study group called themselves the AOG – originally an acronym for 'Asians on Guinness'!
Since then the group has grown and developed in ways those students could not have foreseen, becoming a fantastic source of social networking, peer review and bespoke courses. The AOG today is a magnet for like-minded dentists of all ages, backgrounds, and past experience, offering an opportunity for anyone to belong to something bigger than just themselves.
Various AOG activities are also arranged throughout the year, designed to raise awareness and donations to improve the quality of life of those in less fortunate situations. These include Summer BBQs, Annual Balls and sporting days, providing fun and games for all the family to enjoy. All funds raised are sent directly into the various projects supported by the AOG, enabling the continuation of sustainable projects in developing communities around the globe.
In the past, AOG members have contributed to the building of schools in Sri Lanka, supported a treatment centre in Chritrakoot India, and founded a dental and educational unit at the Lake Victoria Disability Centre in Musoma, Tanzania. Improving the quality of life of thousands, the AOG is dedicated to its work Towards The Greater Good. Members have also been able to attend various international conferences and events, gaining valuable experiences while helping the local professionals advance their dental skills.
In April 2013, the AOG is offering a trip to Dehli in the North of India, to attend the Clinical Innovations Conference (CIC). Available for anyone, you would arrive in Dehli on 5th April, and the basic three-day trip would include all hotel transfers to and from the conference, with optional tours of Dehli available for any spouses or family members who wish to accompany you. The Conference is designed to help local dental professionals develop their education and learn new skills, which could potentially help them save lives. In developing countries such as India, every piece of knowledge and equipment is crucial for local communities to survive, with the estimated ratio of dentists:patients as low as 1:10,000!
Not only will you have the opportunity to attend the Conference and be a part of the international dental industry, but you will also be able to see a part of the world that you may not otherwise get the chance to visit.
As everyone interested in such a trip may be looking for different experiences from it, there will be two extension packages available in addition to the basic three-day Tour. The first of which includes visits to Khajuraho, Chritrakoot and Varanasi. On the last day of the CIC, those taking this extension will fly to Khajurado, where you will visit the impressive Western Group of Temples, before travelling South West to Chritrakoot for an afternoon. The journey will then continue on to Varanasi to experience the earthen lamps of the Aarti (prayer) Ceremony at the Ganges. A boat cruise will then take you to The Golden Temple in the morning, followed by an excursion to Sarnath – where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermons about the principles of Buddhism –bringing the trip to an end on 13th April.
The second extension option sees you fly to Kochi after the CIC, to visit points of interest such as the Dutch Palace, the Jewish Synagogue, St Francis Church and the Santa Cruz Bastilica. A drive down the stunning Kerala coastline past the traditional 'Chinese Fishing Nets', will take the group to Fort Kochi to discover the Dutch and Portuguese influence in Southern India. You will then have the opportunity to learn about India's history of tea plantations in Munnar, before moving on to the beautiful Periyar. Home to unending hills, spice-centred plantations, free-roaming elephants and baisons and a fascinating wildlife sanctuary, this enchanting place will provide the perfect way to wind down and become one with nature. From Periyar, you will spend the night on one of Kumarakom's famous houseboats, before cruising through an intricate maze of truly memorising backwaters. Once disembarked, you will have time to explore the majestic canals, streams and lakes of Kumarakom. This magical Tour will finish on 13th April, when you will flown back to London and reality!
Whether you would like to just attend the International CIC, or would like to include an exploration of India at its very best, the AOG is offering something for you. You have the opportunity to experience the local Indian life and traditions and lay eyes on some of the most breath-taking scenery in the world, while supporting and contributing to such an influential event as the CIC. Help the AOG helps others, and contact the AOG for more details.

Competition for talent is forcing organizations to compromise on new hire choices, and tops the list of talent-related challenges according to the new Beamery Talent Trap Report.
Austin, TX -- November 9, 2021 -- As the Great Resignation of the global workforce rages on, intense competition for talent is forcing organizations to compromise on their new hire choices. It tops the list of talent-related challenges according to 89% of U.S. business leaders whose insights comprise the new Beamery Talent Trap Report published today. Candidate quality issues, compounded by retention woes, with 83% of respondents fearing talent loss, are stalling business growth.
"Most organizations are feeling the frenzy to lock candidates in, but poor hiring decisions have the potential to seriously hold the business back in the long run," said Abakar Saidov, Co-Founder and CEO at Beamery. "Today's competitive climate demands that businesses are more deliberate and strategic in their approach to talent management. The expectations of top talent have changed on everything from flexible work to speed of decision making. Businesses need to become more agile and make changes using decisions informed by real-time talent data and insights."
Talent and Business Strategies Disconnected; HR Feels the Burden
More than 500 senior level executives from mid-to-large enterprises in the U.S. and UK participated in the study and the vast majority (81%) of respondents named talent, not technology, as the number one priority for business transformation. But more than three quarters (77%) of U.S. respondents say today talent planning is disconnected from business objectives - it's one of the biggest "talent traps" tripping them up.
Business Leaders Say It Will Take Years to Make Change, Become Talent-First
Business leaders say they plan to act slowly - even amid today's workforce mass-movement - when it comes to becoming a "talent-first" organization. A third of respondents report their transition will happen 1-2 years from now and another 29% say they have 2-3 years to go despite also acknowledging that an inability to handle talent challenges carries implications, including increased talent loss (48%), competitive vulnerability (39%), damage to brand reputation (38%) and failure to achieve growth plans (37%).
Meanwhile, HR feels the brunt of this disconnect as 91% of business leaders want HR to do more to support the business strategically. In fact, half of respondents are looking to HR to focus more on building a future-fit workforce and find more effective ways to identify and fill skills gaps. That same 91%, with their overreliance on HR, is very confident in their organization's ability to adapt to changing working models and workforce requirements.
"All too often talent planning is disconnected from business objectives," said Saidov. "Success requires letting go of false confidence in the ability to adapt to continually evolving workforce demands, and instead, taking meaningful action. Create cohesion between talent initiatives and the business, and drop the siloes because talent is a shared leadership responsibility - not HR's alone."

Skills Gaps Impede Growth, Yet Retention Strategies Get Overlooked
Skills gaps and compromises around recruitment can have dramatic business consequences. A third of U.S. respondents feel that 25-49% of their current employee base is holding their organization back due a lack of skills or appropriate mindset. Although this issue exists, there's a disproportionately heavy focus on recruitment versus retention and development, say 81% of those in the U.S. surveyed - despite recent data reinforcing why retention strategies are crucial in light of the fact that half of employees are currently job hunting with high confidence in their ability to make a successful jump. When it comes to fear of talent loss, more than half (57%) are most concerned with the potential for middle management to leave.
The research was conducted by Insight Avenue, in line with the Market Research Code of Conduct. 506 interviews with Business Leaders, of which 49% were C-Suite level, were conducted in the UK (x 253) and the U.S. (x 253) across organisations with a minimum of 1000+ employees across all sectors. The interviews were conducted during September 2021.

From this moment the noise of the machines and the smell of vulcanized rubber will be part of your day to day almost until the end of your life.
First apparatuses La Tórtola. Year 1947.
At that time only one model was manufactured in two colors (blue and black), sold by the dozens and valued in cents. His first representative, Antonio García and he began visiting the shops of the province of Alicante and Murcia by bicycle. And in this way began the growth of "La Perdiz y Tórtola" and the sale of hundreds of dozens. In 1960 the volume of work that was achieved forced the factory to move to the Plaza Polo. With this change the evolution continued: more representatives, more clients ... But a decade later, in 1970, again the facilities are small and outdated and Tórtola decides to go to the Matola highway, where he makes a large investment to modernize the factory, create new offices and a direct wholesale warehouse. The production, which began a few years before with a few pairs, is currently at 12,000 pairs a day.

In 1973 they open aparado workshop, manufacture of PVC and direct injection to the court in Benijofar, the Elche ships become the logistics center and open 11 wholesale stores throughout Spain. The production at the end of the eighties stands at 25,000 pairs per day, a figure that continued until the end of the 20th century.
70 years later, we continued with the family business, modernizing production and designs, selling online instead of by bicycle, but with the same enthusiasm as Francisco Pérez Ibarra when he made the first pair of Tórtola shoes.
Francisco Pérez Ibarra. Year 1987.
In these lines we can not miss our thanks and respect to all our customers and above all to each and every one of the workers that form and were part of our organization, without which they would never have had such magnificent results.
In the 21st century we will use the values that made Tórtola a leading shoe from the moment of its creation in 1947. At that time the market needed to fit most of a country facing reconstruction, Francisco Pérez Ibarra, founder of the brand of sneakers, decided that it was time to sell significant quantities of espadrilles very economic and prioritized, above all, the quality and reliability in the service, bringing their manufactured to the consumer regardless of the type of customer. He spoke of his clients equally, "everyone respects us and pays, have their trade where they have it, do not forget that without exception they are Gentlemen Clients". The loyalty of our customers and our respect for them and consumers, made our shoes conquer the Spanish market.
Celebración del 50 aniversario de Tórtola en el Hotel Ritz de Madrid en compañía de nuestros clientes.
Those were the times where the "marketing" was the durability of the product and Tórtola managed to make a quality product with a reasonable price for the consumer of the time. In the years 60/70 already several models of sneakers were manufactured, not only the two initial ones. The demand of the market grew, new materials began to emerge and sports were born. Yes, quality was still the general trend of our products, do not forget that for years, The Tortoises were not only shoes for the general public but they were also the sports of the army, in particular the models 10 and 11 (sneaker and boot). In the 80s there were more changes, Tórtola is still alive with its models 10 and 11, but other brands are born within our organization.
Fashion soon makes its way and our expansion begins, favored by a service capacity of 24 to 48 hours. This circumstance and those previously mentioned confirm our company, as a leader, in the national market and with these wicks began the international conquest. The twentieth century ends with a manufacturing of 25,000 pairs a day. In the 21st century, Tórtola is still alive recomposing its style 70 years later with the same blood and spirit of the founder, we adapt Tórtola, our brand, while we have to live today and tomorrow.
We are clear that we will not lose our roots, and the characteristics that have made us great such as quality, reliability, good service and respect for our customers, as well as the "Made in Spain".
Currently Tortola flies again. Let yourself be carried by our wings. We are at your feet.

Title: Fisheries byelaws : Anglian region
Author: Environment Agency Anglian Region
This booklet contains the byelaws which apply in the Environment Agency Anglian Region for fisheries purposes. They comprise The Lead Weight Byelaws of 1987; the Regional Fisheries Byelaws of 1988 (as amended); and the National Fisheries Byelaws. If you wish to fish in the Environment Agency Anglian Region then you must comply with all of these byelaws. The Environment Act 1995 established the Environment Agency, which took over the fisheries functions of the National Rivers Authority, that had been previously vested in the Anglian Water Authority. In accordance with the provisions relating to the transfer of those functions, any references in these byelaws to the Anglian Water Authority, or to the National Rivers Authority, will have effect as if they were references to the Environment Agency. In 1995 national provisions relating to the close season were introduced. Following confirmation of a number of consistent and standard national byelaws, the provisions relating to the close season for freshwater fish are now contained in the National Fisheries Byelaws.

Radiance Capital Receivables Eighteen, LLC vs. Concannon (8th Cir. 2019) – Guarantor's Financial Advisor Had Implied Actual Authority to Deliver Guarantee to Lender, Even Though Lender Failed to Inquire About Scope of Advisor's Authority
The following is a case update prepared by Dan Schechter, Professor Emeritus, Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, analyzing a recent decision of interest:
The Eighth Circuit has held that a guarantor's financial advisor had the implied actual authority to deliver the guarantee to a lender, even though the lender failed to make inquiry concerning the scope of the advisor's authority to act on behalf of the guarantor. [Radiance Capital Receivables Eighteen, LLC vs. Concannon, 920 F.3d 552 (8th Cir. 2019).]
Facts: A surgeon's financial advisor persuaded the surgeon to invest in the financial advisor's commercial real estate development company. The surgeon signed a general guarantee for all of the company's debts. Unbeknownst to the guarantor, the company was already hugely in debt and was in default on its obligations. The financial advisor soon delivered the guarantee to one of the company's major lenders.
Soon thereafter, the company defaulted on its obligations; as it turns out, the entire corporate structure was a sham. The company's lender failed, and the FDIC took over its assets. The guarantee was assigned by the FDIC to a newly-created joint venture. The joint venture obtained a judgment against the defunct company.
Two years later, the joint venture transferred the judgment to another entity, which pursued the guarantor in federal court. A judgment of approximately $22 million was entered against the guarantor, and he appealed.
Reasoning: On appeal, the guarantor first argued that the FDIC was without authority to create a joint venture to collect the debt. The court held that the enabling legislation was sufficiently broad to authorize the FDIC's creation of the joint venture.
The guarantor next argued that the financial advisor acted without authority when he delivered the guarantee to the lending institution and that the lender should have made inquiry to see whether the financial advisor had the authority to deliver the guaranty. The court held that in light of the complex relationship between the guarantor and the financial advisor, the advisor had implied actual authority to deliver the guaranty, even if there were no express authority to do so.
Finally, the guarantor argued that he had been defrauded by his financial advisor, who did not tell him that the borrowing entity had already obtained millions of dollars in loans, and that he was therefore entitled to assert the defense of "fraud in the factum." But the court held that because the guarantor knew he was executing a guaranty, that defense was unavailable. The court cited authority distinguishing between "fraud in the inducement," under which the signatory knows what he is signing but is defrauded into doing so, and "fraud in the factum," in which the signatory is defrauded into believing that the instrument is of an entirely different character.
Author's Comment: This is a tragic fact pattern: the surgeon trusted his financial advisor to act in the surgeon's best interests, without independently auditing the true state of the borrowing entity's financial affairs. Usually, equity holders who execute personal guarantees for corporate debts are true insiders, with full knowledge of the facts. By contrast, the surgeon really had no access to those facts and was victimized by his faithless advisor. (It is amazing how frequently doctors are defrauded; perhaps the medical school curriculum should include a unit on personal finance.)
Although the result in this case is correct, it could easily have come out the other way. It is customary for lenders to obtain corporate resolutions confirming the scope of the authority of the borrower's agents, and it is also common for lenders to require a notarized power of attorney when one individual purports to act on behalf of another. It appears that the originating lender failed to take either of those precautions, leaving the door open to the guarantor's claim of fraud.
Fortunately for the creditor, there was plenty of circumstantial evidence to show that the advisor indeed had implied authority to act on the surgeon's behalf. But a proper documentary showing of express authority would have been much less messy and uncertain than a trial on the issue of implied authority.

France Counts 1,193 Cars Torched on New Year's Eve
PARIS — A New Year's Eve tradition for some in France of torching empty, parked cars has continued.
Interior Minister Manuel Valls said Tuesday that 1,193 vehicles were burned overnight around the country, where the stunt began in the 1990s.
There was no way to compare this figure to recent ones because the conservative government of former President Nicolas Sarkozy stopped making the numbers public while he was in office.
But the rate of burned cars was apparently steady. On Dec. 31, 2009, 1,147 vehicles were burned.
For some, the decision of France's current Socialist government to resume making public figures of New Year's Eve's torched cars is unwise.
Bruno Beschizza, a security chief for Sarkozy's UMP party, said on iTele TV that publishing the numbers motivates youths to commit such crimes.

Woman bitten by ferret in bizarre wake up call at Gosford Hospital
Kamilia Palu
A patient at Gosford Hospital on the Central Coast had a rude wake up call when a ferret snuck into her room and bit her hand – only letting go when security guards pried the animal off.
The 41-year-old Wyong woman was supposed to be discharged on the day of the ferret's visit but, after suffering a bleeding hand, she was made to stay an extra 24 hours.

Central Coast Local Health District confirmed that the ferret did indeed sneak into the patient's room around 5:30am on November 13 last year.
A spokesperson told the Daily Mail the woman received a tetanus injection as a precaution.
The ferret, similar to the once pictured here, was relocated to safer grounds by security guards. Photo: Reuters
Security guards took several minutes to remove the wild animal and relocated the furry critter elsewhere on the hospital grounds.
The patient's room was located on the ground floor of the hospital, which is surrounded by bush land.

Back-to-school season is here, and you know what that means: You're looking for new supplies, clothes, and even hairdos to start the year off right. Coming up with new hairstyles is usually the hardest part, because you need to find looks that are quick and easy to reproduce when you're running late, and that won't require much attention throughout the day. But don't stress — we've got you covered with six ideas for easy back-to-school hair.
This look adds a unique twist to the traditional side ponytail by including a double French braid in the back. We love how the hair wraps around the ponytail holder for a put-together yet painless look.
The messy bun is a go-to when you need to do something with your disheveled hair quickly before running out the door. If pieces fall out throughout the day, don't worry — it's not supposed to look perfect!
Keep your hair out of your face all day by fishtail braiding it into a half-down, half-up style. If you need to transition to a more active hairdo after school, you can easily put the rest of your hair up without disturbing the braids.
If you haven't already, buy a hair doughnut to make creating the sock bun even easier, because it's sure to be a staple throughout your school year. Make it messy for a relaxed look or tighter for a really classy style.
Loosely knot your hair into this half updo for an intricate look that's really effortless.
A loose fishtail braid makes a cute and trendy look out of a typical high ponytail. This hairdo works best with long hair that can really show off the braid.
If you're looking for a more drastic change for this back-to-school season, check out these five ways to revamp your hair. And don't forget to book an appointment with us before school starts!

Q: iOS 3+ programming a uiprogressview w/o a nib (I have theos) I have implemented FlowCover programmatically.  On the click of an image in the cover flow, I would like a uiprogressview bar to appear below the image in the cover flow.
Here is my current code snippet for the area of concern:
 - (void) flowCover:(FlowCoverView *)view didSelect:(int)deb {
     NSLog(@"Downloading Track %d ...", deb);
    switch (deb % 6) {
                case 0:
                default:
    system("wget -O /some/Local/File/Name.blah http://urlBeingDownloadedFrom.com/aFile.blah");
                case 1:.....
    NSLog(@"Track %d Downloaded!", deb);
        }
    }

I would also like the UIProgressView to disappear when complete and alert the user when it is fully downloaded, and if the file size is less than expected, alert the user of that.  I know how to make alerts, so no need to tell me how a UIAlertView is shown (just show "// Alert goes here."). I am using theos for iOS; I am not using Xcode. I am using the iOS 3 SDK, as I want to support a lot of users.  This is for Cydia, not the App Store.
EDIT: OK, I can make a uiprogressview work with NSURLConnection and I also have 4 other download stats.  Now what I am wondering is how to change the uilabel with the song name to match the album cover currently shown.  I know I can do:
    label.text = @"SongNameHere";
But I want to change it per change of cover.

Q: Calling Mips from C I'd like to call assembly (specifically MIPS) code from my C program and call the C back from the assembly.
I've decided on the GNU GCC as my compiler, (I am also guessing I need an emulator?)
I'm on a x86 Win 7 machine.
There are some things that are very unclear to me how this can/should work out.

*

*If MIPS will be using a load-store archi with 32 regs and the C will continue to use a register memory archi because I'm on x86?

*Now that I want to call mips assembly instead of x86 assembly, can/do I still use asm() ?

*If MIPS uses more registers than C, will I be able to access those registers from my C code?

Can anyone help me out with this, perhaps by pointing out where I could learn this bit of sorcery?
Thanks
Disclaimer: I am working on a verification of self modifying code project for credit in school, and this code is going to be used as an example, but I am not getting any credit for this code.

A: The most common MIPS calling convention is described here.  The easiest way to write a C-callable assembly routine is to write a skeleton for the routine in C, and then copy the assembly code output from the compiler into your assembly source (use gcc's -S option).  Say you want to call an assembler function defined in C as int foo(int a, int b). You would write a simple version of that function in C. For example, put the following into foo.c:
int foo(int a, int b) {
    return a+b;  // some simple code to access all arguments and the return value
}

Then you would compile that function using a MIPS cross compiler (see below) using the -S and the -O0 option to gcc which will produce a text output file foo.S giving you MIPS assembler source code to access the arguments for function foo and showing you where to put the return value.  Simply copy that source file into your own assembler source, and add the assembler calculations you need to compute foo.
Calling C from assembly is straightforward once you have calling in the other direction figured out.
You can download a free MIPS gcc cross compiler tool chain from Mentor Graphics (formerly Codesourcery).
You can download a free, fully functional (it boots and runs Linux) MIPS simulator from here. Don't use SPIM or MARS, since they do not completely model the MIPS architecture.

Looking for a well-paid job with exceptional career prospects?
Date: Thu, Jun 20, 2019
Look no further than supply chain management, says UCD Smurfit's Enrico Secchi – though you'll need the expert training to stand out from the crowd.
How can you be sure that the food you eat is safe or responsibly sourced? What about the medicines you buy over the counter? Or even the clothes that you and your family wear
Safeguarding supply chains and guaranteeing the provenance of the goods and services that we consume as a society falls to a group of men and women – supply chain and logistics specialists whose job it is to ensure that standards are maintained and that quality remains uncompromised. And it's not easy
As trade becomes ever more global and flow of goods between countries increases, supply chain professionals have to negotiate a raft of challenges – from political changes like Brexit, though to armed conflict and natural disasters; all of this against the permanent backdrop of measures to reduce environmental impact and climate change
Yet there has never been a more exciting or potentially rewarding time to launch a career in this fast-developing sector, says UCD Smurfit assistant professor, Enrico Secchi
"As consumer demand increases, the number of supply chain jobs is on the rise – significantly more than many other sectors. Supply chain opportunities are expanding from both ends, from global sourcing of goods to distribution, sales and fulfilment."
And that's not all
Supply chain management pays well, says Enrico. And there are plenty of opportunities for professional growth.
"Average salaries in Ireland range from €40,000 up to €80,000 and beyond depending on the roles and years of experience. And good graduates can expect to advance up the scale to directorships of things like operations, logistics, procurement or planning, where salaries tip that scale at €100,000 and above."
The key, he says, is getting an industry-recognised qualification that will position you with top recruiters.
Enrico is programme director for the MSc in Supply Chain Management, an intensive learning experience that equips participants with the real-world understanding, the industry exposure and the rounded, practical skills to stand out in the job market – and secure positions with leading employers.
"Demand for people with these kinds of certified skills is growing. And our graduates go on to find jobs and placements with some of the biggest players in supply chain management, such as Microsoft, GS1, DHL and others," he says.
Available in both full and part-time formats to optimise flexibility and impact, the programme delivers both the theoretical foundations and the practical knowledge to "contribute to organisational performance from day one," says Enrico. And it has garnered acclaim from employers and the academic community alike, ranking in the top 30 programmes world-wide according to global ranking body, Eduniversal.
Real-world skills for real-world opportunities
The MSc in Supply Management is built around a core curriculum that builds rock-solid understanding of supply chain fundamentals like procurement and operations, as well as latest developments such as analytics and environmental sustainability.
The entire learning experience fuses theory with practice and leadership development, says Enrico, so that you can deliver impact from day one.
"From class time with your international and diverse cohort, through to project work to specific training opportunities in things like computer and communication skills, the programme is expertly designed to build the kinds of competencies recruiters demand – in multi-cultural leadership, teamwork, negotiation, project management and more."
To prepare you for the workplace, the programme integrates real-world industry exposure through site visits, interaction with expert speakers and a hands-on consulting project that sees you address a real business challenge posed by a UCD Smurfit industry partner.
"The project work not only gives you a chance to put these developing competencies into practice," says Enrico. "It is a chance to showcase your complex problem-solving capabilities and your capacity to think creatively to a potential employer."
Tanvi Deshpande from India is currently completing the programme. The hands-on learning involved in the project work is a particular bonus, she says.
"I love the experiential learning environment, not only within the MSc but across the school in its entirety. Everything is anchored to the real job market and industry, with real-life case studies and the challenge of solving actual industry problems. It's this hands-on, practical dimension that makes the Smurfit graduate a standout in the market, I think."
Yi Zing Tzeng from China agrees: "The different case studies and simulation exercises made me understand the theoretical SCM concepts and increased my inferential ability to tackle future supply chain issues at the workplace. But I'm most looking forward to my summer consulting project with a company which will give me hands-on experience to solve real-world supply chain issues and simultaneously expand my professional and international network."
Getting you job-ready
On completing the MSc in Supply Chain Management, Smurfit graduates have access to a broad diversity of career services to help them secure a top job, says Enrico.
From determining what kind of role best maps to your aptitudes and aspirations, to writing your CV and nailing the job interview, the Smurfit team are dedicated to smoothing the transition from study to employment. And with more than 78% of graduates in jobs within six months of leaving the programme, the odds are well stacked in your favour, Enrico says.
The career office also provides an excellent platform to connect with 80,000+ business alumni spread across the world in various industries – a world-class mentor-mentee programme that helps you forge ties with former and current UCD students and expand your network.
"We draw on Smurfit's extensive ecosystem of industry leaders, partner organisations and alumni to organise numerous recruitment events and activities including dedicated supply chain careers fairs where top employers come to UCD Smurfit specifically to hire our graduates and students."
Michael Sixl from Germany walked into a job with Deloitte on graduating from the programme and is now a senior consultant in strategy and operations. Recent graduate, Dhanashree Kadulkar, currently works for DHL in Ireland. Both attribute their professional success to the programme: "Smurfit provides a professional environment for the candidate, challenging you to continuously apply or relate concepts you learn in school to real-life projects in business."
Next-generation, global problem solvers
The Smurfit MSc in Supply Chain Management in an opportunity to develop into a well-rounded professional, with the skills and the confidence necessary for tackling the complex problems faced by modern global organisations, says Enrico.
Rather than just learning a limited set of concepts and techniques, he says, you will be encouraged and pushed to become a lifelong learner and to independently face the rapid pace of changes that characterise modern supply chains.
"If you are passionate about the many issues faced by modern, globalised economies and are looking for a rewarding and challenging experience, do not hesitate to inquire about our programme and to consider a career in supply chain management," says Enrico.
"We have had successful graduates coming from a wide variety of backgrounds, from humanities to engineering, as well as varying degrees of work experience. The world needs responsible and courageous leaders who will reshape global supply chains to face the many challenges in front of us."
If you are thinking about a springboard to start your career or a jump-start to the next level, contact the UCD Smurfit School to discuss the opportunities the MSc in Supply Chain Management could open to you.
The UCD Smurfit School is ranked 23rd in the Financial Times' ranking of leading European Business Schools and is the only business school in Ireland, and one of an elite group of schools worldwide, to hold the "triple crown" of accreditation from three centres of business and academic excellence: EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA. UCD Smurfit School's alumni communities include more than 84,000 professionals around the globe in 35 international chapters.
Applications are now open for the master in supply chain management programme which begins in September. Learn more about the programme here.

Andrew Grove, Hungarian-born American electronic executive, Died at 79
Andrew Stephen "Andy" Grove was born on September 2, 1936, and died on March 21, 2016.
He was a Hungarian-born American businessman, engineer, author and a science pioneer in the semiconductor industry.
Grove had escaped from Communist-controlled Hungary at the age of 20 and moved to the United States where he finished his education.
Andrew was among one of the founders and the CEO of Intel Corporation, who were helping transform the company into the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductors.
The conclusion of his work at Intel, along with his books and professional articles, Grove had a considerable influence on the management of modern electronics manufacturing industries worldwide.
Grove has been called the "guy who drove the growth phase" of Silicon Valley.
At Steve Jobs, when he was considering returning to be Apple's CEO, called Grove, who was someone he "idolized," for his personal advice.
The Time magazine chose him as "Man of the Year", in 1997 for being "the person most responsible for the amazing growth in the power and the innovative potential of microchips.".
Critics noted that by his accomplishments at Intel alone, he "merits a place alongside the great business leaders of the 20th century."
During 2000, Grove was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and was a contributor to several foundations that sponsor research towards a cure.
Andrew Grove passed away at 79 yrs old.

Leicestershire Police has today said the identity of the fifth person who died in the tragedy at the King Power Stadium has been confirmed.
Kaveporn Punpare is the final victim to be formally identified by the coroner.
The 33-year-old was on board the helicopter when it crashed, and was a member of Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddanaprabha's staff.
A force statement said: "The fifth person who died in a helicopter crash at the King Power Stadium has now been formally identified.
"Following the completion of detailed police and forensic enquiries, and after police presented evidence to the Senior Coroner Mrs Mason in a formal identification commission, the coroner can confirm that the fifth person who died is 33-year-old Kaveporn Punpare.
"He died alongside Leicester City Football Club chairman, 60-year-old Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, 32-year-old Nusara Suknamai, 46-year-old Izabela Roza Lechowicz and 53-year-old Eric Swaffer when the helicopter came down in a car park near the stadium at about 8.30pm on Saturday."
Earlier this week, the coroner confirmed the formal identification of Leicester City Football Club chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, 60 and Nusara Suknamai, 32, who was a member of Khun Vichai's staff, and pilots Eric Swaffer and Izabela Lechowicz.

«Воротар» () — російський радянський чорно-білий художній фільм 1936 року. Сценарій написав письменник Лев Кассіль, а на його основі 1937 року — роман «Воротар республіки» (один з перших творів у радянській літературі на спортивну тематику). Повторно вийшов у кінопрокат 1970 року з деякою цензурою.

Сюжет
У 30-ті роки футбол був вельми популярним видом спорту. Зірки футболу ставали загальнонаціональними улюбленцями. Історія розповідає про талановитого воротаря Антона Кандідова, який користується загальною любов'ю, бо неодноразово рятував свою команду від поразок.

Зйомки
Зйомки проходили влітку 1936 року в Києві і на них були запрошені футболісти місцевого «Динамо», яким пообіцяли добрий заробіток. У цей час стартував перший розіграш кубка СРСР і гравці мали їхали до Єгоровська Московської області. Вони вирішили залишитися вдома і надіслали телеграму до Всесоюзної ради з фізичної культури, що команда захворіла. Антон Іздковський був персональним тренером Григорія Плужника, виконавця головної ролі. У фільмі Антон Іздковський і Іван Кузьменко виступали за «Чорних буйволів», всі інші «динамівці» — були партнерами Антона Кандідова. Капітаном, як і в реальному житті, був Костянтин Щегоцький. В одному з епізодів Щегоцький зіграв рукою у власному штрафному майданчику, за що кінокоманда отримала покарання (пенальті). Про зйомки Щегоцький згадує у своїй книзі «У грі і поза грою». У Москві негативно сприйняли відмову від участі в офіційному матчі і змусили зіграти в Єгоровську товариську гру. 31 серпня 1936 року «динамівці» в гостях здобули перемогу з рахунком 12:0

When life gives you lemons ... what do you do? Whether you believe we choose our own circumstances, that there is a master plan, or that sometimes stuff happens, you still have reactions, feelings, and decisions to make about "what next?" I trust and respect your ability to make good choices and decisions, when you are able to pay attention to your inner voice, your sense of who you are at the core. I will help you discover, re-discover, or create your true self, so that problems in your life become opportunities for growth. I sometimes conduct sessions that are not framed by the clock, working with individuals or couples until a natural stopping point. This flexible scheduling allows for resolution and re-direction in a more time-friendly manner. I help couples learn to value and appreciate the differences that have been driving them apart, and to regain the loving feelings that brought them together. I help those with a medical condition deal with the anger, depression, frustration, and other feelings that are associated with illness, and I also provide a safe place for their family members or significant others to deal with their own feelings and concerns. I am no longer on any insurance panels. If you wish, I provide statements for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement of a percentage of fees.
I hold a doctoral degree in Counseling Psychology / Existential Psychotherapy from USC, and have also trained with some of the best in the fields of relationships, emotional intelligence, neurobiology, trauma, humanistic psychology, mind/body psychotherapy, Buddhist/mindfulness meditation, and other leading edge areas. I hold several teaching credentials and have many years of experience with learners of all ages, from infants to adults, and am expert in designing interventions that meet your personal learning styles. As Mental Health Editor of Helpguide, the award-winning, commercial-free website, I have written and/or edited more than 60 mental health articles on a variety of topics. I am co-author of The Language of Emotional Intelligence (McGraw-Hill, 2008). Working through my own painful losses and life experiences (including developing a chronic medical condition) combined with 30 years experience helping others, I am uniquely qualified to assist you with your life issues.
I have developed a specific expertise in helping people deal with medical issues (their own, or those in a family member or friend). I am one of very few therapists currently addressing Tinnitus and Misophonia, as well as other chronic conditions. I came about this, as therapists often do, because of my own life experience. After 20 years of being a therapist, I developed a rare condition that took almost a year to correctly diagnose. On the way, I saw several different kinds of doctors (traditional and alternative) and received a long list of treatments, none of which addressed the problem. As a result of this personal situation, I realized that I could be helpful to others with similar experiences with their own conditions and the emotional roller coaster that we all ride: fear, anger, frustration, despair, guilt, etc.

"Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: The bodies you have thrown there are the meat and this city is the pot, but I will drive you out of it.
Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of the city are the flesh and this city is the pot; but I will bring you out of it.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have put within it are the meat, and the city is the pot, but I will remove you from it.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says, "The corpses that you've laid out in your midst are the meat, and this city is the cooking pot. But you'll be taken out from the middle of it.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst thereof, they are the flesh, and this is the caldron: and I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and it is the cauldron; but you will I bring forth out of the midst of it.

1Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the LORD's house, which looks eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people. 2Then said he to me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city: 3Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh. 4Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man. 5And the Spirit of the LORD fell on me, and said to me, Speak; Thus said the LORD; Thus have you said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them. 6You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled the streets thereof with the slain. 7Therefore thus said the Lord GOD; Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the middle of it. 8You have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword on you, said the Lord GOD. 9And I will bring you out of the middle thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you. 10You shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and you shall know that I am the LORD. 11This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the flesh in the middle thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel: 12And you shall know that I am the LORD: for you have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, What see you? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.
Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
And I will bring you out of the middle thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall you be the flesh in the middle thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus said the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Therefore thus said the Lord GOD; Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the middle of it.

Cant clone the lightning design theme?
Have tried several times but Skuid seems to hang whenever I try to clone the Lightning Design theme? Is it me?
What version of Skuid are you on? If you've updated to Brooklyn I'd suggest updating to Brooklyn Iteration 1.1 (available from Skuid's Releases Page) since it solves an issue present in Brooklyn GA and Brooklyn Iteration 1 where you can't open Lightning themes. As a reminder, Salesforce does not allow reverting back to prior versions of managed packages. Skuid always recommends installing new versions in a non-business critical sandbox environment to test all mission critical functionality before installing into a production environment. We also recommend that you update out of date themes when you upgrade. Sorry for any inconvenience this caused you!
Just installed the Dec 20th fix and it worked!

This is the strangest review I have ever read. I had to stop half way through. It didnt make sense. Did someone not do any proper editing?
I think Amahn's point is more the stram of consciousness format of the review as opposed to the Yiddish words.
There is also a paragraph on the taboo of Perchik and Tevye dancing that indicates nothing about this particular production.
It seems to be more of an examination of the show "Fiddler on the Roof" far more than it is a review of Castaway's production. Each character review basically says "this person was good" and then gives an extensive examination of the character as opposed to the actor.
The final paragraph finally says what the reviewer really thinks of the show, but you have to wade through a whole lot in order to get to it.
We ask that you disclose any affiliation you have with the production when you comment. For example, if you have a family member in the production or if you were involved backstage in some role, mention that in your note. And as always, if you believe you could do better writing theater reviews, contact me and I'll get you set up reviewing future productions.
I have been behind the scene in most of Castaways productions for the past 3 years. During that time I have not seen what I consider a positive review from this source – unless one of the reviewers (or someone in their immediate circle) is a part of the production.
I look at these as one person's opinion – nothing more – certainly not an authority on the subject. I prefer to let our audiences opinion be my judge and so far they seem to love it even with all the so called flaws mentioned above.
To me, that is all that matters. People came and had an enjoyable experience and seem to understand when all is said and done, this is a group of VOLUNTEERS who came together with one common purpose and they give it their all and hopefully had a little fun in the process.
I commend everyone who gives of their time and their selves in such a positive expression. I say take what you can from this review (if anything) and let the rest go.
P.S. I do appreciate the reviewer spelling my name correctly.
I don't have anyone in the show and I have not seen it, but I'm a regular reader of your column and I have to admit, this was a really weird review. Having done this show twice, I know it pretty well, but I almost couldn't follow along with what was going on. A reader shouldn't have to consult a Yiddish dictionary to read a review…..unless your are reviewing a production done in Yiddish for an entirely Yiddish speaking audience. It's kitchy, I get it, but not at all practical and extremely self-indulgent and verbose.
OK all, calm down. Genie wrote this review in a different style. I totally support that. I think it was informative and a fun read.
I'm sorry I misunderstood Ahman's original note. I thought he was getting tripped up on the Yiddish, not on the overall tone and style of the article.
I have to disagree with K's initial thoughts that a positive review only happens when there is a bias between reviewer and the cast/crew of a show. Looking back at the reviews that we have been published of CRT's shows, they seem fairly balanced, as does this one. As far as I can tell, the only time we've published a review with a potential conflict was my review of CRT's The Miracle Worker when Laura was the assistant stage manager. None of our writers could make that show, and since I was going to see it anyways, I posted a review. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. We do take reviewer neutrality as a big deal in the articles we publish.


1. Why is an independent banking commission inquiry into banking misconduct required? Discuss three pros and three cons of having such inquiry into the finance industry.
3. What course of action/s would you recommended MRCB take to restore customers' trust in the bank?
The Monash Retail Commercial Bank (MRCB) was created in 1923 to meet the financial needs of the returned soldiers that had served in World War I. From that small historic base, MRCB had developed into a strong, ASX listed, retail and commercial bank dedicated to serving the financial needs of the people and businesses in Victoria. It later added a retail stockbroking firm to provide financial services and investment advice to its clients and then a life insurance company (as life policies once afforded important tax advantages) as subsidiaries. Others, like the Monash Investment Bank, the Monash Funds Management Company and Monash Financial Planning, were subsequently established. With technology, MRCB was an early mover in on-line banking to remain competitive.
Today, the Monash Retail Commercial Bank remains a hypothetical medium size, mainly Victorian based financial organisation with a strong market presence particularly among older Australians as well as in provincial towns and rural areas. Its representation is similar to that of the Bendigo Bank within Victoria (some 200 branches) but MRCB utilises specialised bank staffed sub-branches whereas Bendigo uses community bank branches. While MRCB's $1.5 billion market capitalisation is much smaller than Bendigo and Adelaide, its financial ratios, asset mix and funding base are nevertheless very similar.

MHS runs past Legacy — literally
Panthers approach 500 rushing yards in rout; Summit showdown at home next
MANSFIELD — At this stage, the only thing the Midlothian Panthers can do is control what they can control and see where the cards fall at the end of the regular season.
The Panthers got what they needed last Friday night to keep their playoff hopes afloat in a 41-14 victory over Mansfield Legacy at R.L. Anderson Stadium in District 4-5A (I) play.
The Panthers were on the prowl from the get-go, rambling to the tune of 492 total yards, all but 12 on the ground. Ethan Hill rushed nine times for 109 yards, and sophomore De'ago Benson carried six times for 92 yards and two touchdowns.
"The challenge all week was to compete against ourselves, and to all be better individually, than we have in games past," MHS head coach Doug Wendel said. "The team rose to the occasion, accepted and passed the challenge. We played their most complete game vs. Legacy."
But the next steps are a doozy, as the Panthers (4-3, 2-3) must defeat Mansfield Summit on Friday night at MISD Multipurpose Stadium and then must win at Richland in the Dec. 4 district finale.
Complicating the picture is that Summit (3-3, 2-1) has had two district games declared no-contests because of COVID-19. Those two games were against district leaders Burleson Centennial and Colleyville Heritage.
Quarterback Nick de los Santos called his own number on a 4-yard run, drawing first blood at the 4:30 mark of the first quarter as Hill's 65-yard run set up the score.
A 28-yard pass from Legacy's Beau Kilgore to Isaiah Williams knotted things up late in the first, but moments later, Benson broke a 49-yarder to put the Panthers on top for good. Junior Dillon Lampkins made it 21-7 before halftime on a 23-yard scamper; and MHS junior defensive back Mikail Denton intercepted a Kilgore pass in the end zone to end the first half.
In the second half, senior Laine Martin added to the lead on a 1-yard plunge and Benson tacked on his second TD of the night on a 12-yard run. With 2:49 to go and reserves in place, Jordan McKenzie closed out MHS' scoring on a 5-yard run.
Legacy added the final TD of the game with 9 seconds left.


rmdir() deletes a directory, which must be empty.
Write access to the directory containing pathname was not allowed, or one of the directories in the path prefix of pathname did not allow search permission. (See also path_resolution(7).
pathname is currently in use by the system or some process that prevents its removal. On Linux, this means pathname is currently used as a mount point or is the root directory of the calling process.
pathname has . as last component.
pathname, or a component used as a directory in pathname, is not, in fact, a directory.
pathname contains entries other than . and .. ; or, pathname has .. as its final component. POSIX.1 also allows EEXIST for this condition.
The directory containing pathname has the sticky bit (S_ISVTX) set and the process's effective user ID is neither the user ID of the file to be deleted nor that of the directory containing it, and the process is not privileged (Linux: does not have the CAP_FOWNER capability).
The filesystem containing pathname does not support the removal of directories.
pathname refers to a directory on a read-only filesystem.
Infelicities in the protocol underlying NFS can cause the unexpected disappearance of directories which are still being used.
