ePal told to come clean on EFTPOS fees
Supermarket challenger Aldi has this morning been awarded a win in the Federal Court of New South Wales against EFTPOS Payments Australia Limited (ePal), which has been ordered by the court to clarify to consumers that they may be hit with extra fees for using the organisation's electronic payments service.

Aldi originally took action against ePal two weeks ago in the Federal Court of NSW, seeking clarification over a new interchange fee scheme. Set to take effect on 1 October 2011, the scheme would see a new fee structure introduced where merchants would be charged an extra $0.05 per transaction for all point-of-sale purchases over $15, payable to the acquirer (the party collecting the money, ie, a bank), with an additional $0.01 payable to ePal itself.
ePal added that fees for transactions under $15 would be exempt, in a bid to eliminate minimum EFTPOS spend limits in stores. Transactions carried out by charities and via Medicare EasyClaim would also be exempt, as would supermarket chains Coles and Woolworths, thanks to a parent relationship with ePal.
ePal managing director Bruce Mansfield issued three press releases about the new scheme. The first outlined the scheme, followed by the second — a clarification that consumers wouldn't be charged extra for spending their own money via EFTPOS under the changes. However, Mansfield's third release back-pedalled on statements made in the second release, saying that he couldn't promise customers wouldn't be charged extra, as fees may be passed onto merchants by banks.
Justice Michael Jacobson handed down his judgement to the court this morning, saying that by releasing the three contravening statements, Mansfield and ePal had breached Australian Consumer Law. Justice Jacobson said that the statements were misleading, and called on ePal to publish "corrective advertising" to clear up what would be charged to whom under the new interchange fees.
Justice Jacobson recommended the following be published by ePal in one major national newspaper and one paper in each of the state's and territories:
There has been a range of comments in the media about EFTPOS's interchange fees. ePal, the company that manages the EFTPOS debit payment system, wishes to clarify aspects of planned changes to EFTPOS interchange fees and to correct statements made in a media release dated 12 August 2011, a column in the Herald Sun on 12 August 2011 and a media release dated 8 September 2011.
ePal is aware that some acquirers are intending to pass part or all of these fee changes on to some retailers. It remains to be seen what such retailers may do in relation to their consumers as a result of these changes. ePal is also aware that other acquirers do not intend to pass on any of these fee changes to retailers.
It is therefore premature to state with certainty what impact the planned changes will have at a retail level.
Aldi told ZDNet Australia it was pleased with the judgement and is in the process of preparing an in-depth statement on the victory.
Mansfield had been present in court for the majority of the hearings, but was absent this morning at the reading of the judgement.
Representatives for ePal told ZDNet Australia this morning that the organisation had no immediate comment on the matter.
ePal has been ordered to pay Aldi's legal costs in the matter, a clause that legal representatives for ePal continue to fight over in court this morning.

Monica Niculescu, née le  à Slatina, est une joueuse de tennis roumaine qui a disputé son premier match sur le circuit professionnel en 2002.

Carrière junior
Monica Niculescu a disputé la finale du double filles à Roland-Garros en 2004 (associée à Mădălina Gojnea) et atteint deux fois celle du tournoi de Wimbledon en 2004 et 2005 (avec Marina Erakovic).

Style de jeu
Essentiellement joueuse de fond de court, elle se distingue par un coup droit slicé ainsi que son service. Une autre originalité est que, selon les circonstances, elle joue son coup droit à une ou deux mains, de même pour le revers. Ces dernières années, elle semble toutefois s'orienter vers un jeu plus classique, optant le plus souvent pour le coup droit à une main (toujours slicé) et le revers à deux mains.

Sai in a hurry
Posted by Eddie Lewis
The weekend saw a turn in the weather but this did prevent the Merrion teams on show putting in some excellent performances.
On Saturday, the 1st XI were the only team directly impacted by the weather – though in the end they were probably glad enough for the intervention. Batting first the game was set up nicely at mid-point with Merrion all out for 194 in the 50th over. With half centuries for openers Jack Carty [59] and Stephen Doheny [60], his first for Merrion, a larger total might have been expected. But it was not to be.
After a delayed re-start, Jack Tector fell early to Max Neville, a welcome return to Merrion colours after injury and a spell in Trinity, but YMCA consolidated and with reduced overs were in a strong position when the match was called off for bad light. Shared points probably not a bad outcome on the day.
All the other teams won. The 2nd XI were badly beaten by Clontarf the previous week and it was important that they got their league season up and running. They did not disappoint and had a comprehensive [full point] win over Railway Union. It was a solid team performance. 50s from Sean Stanton [51] and Niranjan Shankar [52] laid the foundation and with some late runs being provided by the Forkin brothers, Merrion were able to post a very good score of 240/7. Railway stuck in for a while but once the dam broke wickets fell steadily. The 2nd XI spin attack accounted for nine of the wickets to fall – leading the way JJ Walsh with 3/35 with two each for Sean Stanton [2/23], Daniel Forkin [2/21] and Peter Forkin [2/17]. In the end Railway were bowled out for 134 – a win of 106 runs.
The 3rd XI had an excellent Bank Holiday Monday game against YMCA 3rds in Wesley College. The home team batted first and made 212/9 in their 50 overs. A big enough total on the school ground and with second innings wickets falling regularly the game was evenly poised going into the last 20 overs. A seventh wicket stand between Sai Reddy [62*] and Vicky Delwani [22*] brought the game home for Merrion. Even at this point it could have been a close finish until Sai decided that he wanted to go home and hit five consecutive 6s [four in one over] to finish the match. Of course it actually probably took longer to finish the game given the time spent to find / replace the balls hit out of the park.
The 4th XI had a close enough win over Clondalkin. Merrion posted a total of 161, thanks mainly to Raghav Khurana [53] who proved that he is not just capable with the ball. In the end Clondalkin were bowled out for 138, with three wickets for Sid Kalra and two for Sidharth Muthu.
The 5th XI had an excellent result in Wexford on Saturday on a sporting pitch, winning by 130 runs. Mark Sandys and Sid Kalra [60] made runs but the highlight of the day must be the 5/11 off eight overs from Seb Dykstra. Wexford were bowled out for 53.
And finally, the Womens 1st XI had a comfortable win against Malahide. Details are scant but Merrion won by 89 runs. There were half centuries from Leah Paul [85], Cecelia Joyce [75] and Rachel Delaney [65] and Niamh MacNulty took 4/20.
A final note. On Friday night the Minor Boys lost their cup final against Rush by 20 runs. A disappointment certainly but the young team had done really well to get to the final, overcoming some very strong clubs on the way.

Iron Hill Brewery Plants Its Flag on Market Street in Philly • thefullpint.com
Iron Hill Brewery Plants Its Flag on Market Street in Philly
Jonny Fullpint Beer News, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant 0
Wilmington, DE (September 13, 2018) – Delaware-based Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant is thrilled to announce the opening of their first Center City Philadelphia location today in the exciting new East Market development. Doors opened to the public this evening, September 13 at 5:00 p.m., Iron Hill Center City, which is located at 1150 Market Street and marks the 15th brewery and restaurant for the group. This is the third opening for Iron Hill in 2018 with a fourth slated for November in Hershey, PA, as part of an aggressive growth strategy.
Photo Caption: "Ben Franklin", Philabundance Executive Director Glenn Bergman, Iron Hill Brewery Co-Founder Kevin Davies, Iron Hill Brewery Co-Founder Mark Edelson, Iron Hill Brewery Center City General Manager Chris LoAlbo, Philadelphia City Councilman Mark Squilla, Philadelphia City Councilman Bill Greenlee, Iron Hill Brewery CEO Kim Boerema, National Real Estate Development Managing Director Daniel Killinger, and Iron Hill Brewery Co-Founder Kevin Finn.
The approximately 8,500 sq. ft. Iron Hill Center City seats approximately 275, plus al fresco dining and includes an on-site brewery with capacity to produce 900 barrels of their award-winning craft beer annually. The brewery and restaurant operates Monday through Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Thursday and Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The on-site brewery enables Iron Hill Center City to deliver craft beer freshness, brewed, poured and enjoyed all under one roof. Seasonal and Philadelphia-centric craft beer like the new Hungry Dog IPA and Philly Special will be on tap for thirsty football fans. Craft beer enthusiasts can expect the award-winning signature Vienna Red™ Lager, Iron Hill Light Lager and White Iron® Wit, as well as deliciously wholesome fare including the Drunk Monk Burger ($14.50), Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls ($12.00), Voodoo Chicken Flatbread ($12.00), Grilled Salmon Salad ($17.50) and Char-Grilled N.Y. Strip Steak ($25.00). Along with signature menu items and craft beer, there will be a seasonal beer and food menu to reflect the local flavors of Philadelphia including a daily feature sheet, showcasing chef-created dishes using the freshest seasonal ingredients.
Designed by Washington, DC-based Streetsense, the interior reflects recent incarnations of the Iron Hill concept featuring iconic pop art images with a nod to Philadelphia's rich history, while floor-to-ceiling windows usher in natural light and transmit the vibrancy of the neighborhood. Design elements highlight the open kitchen and glass walled-brewery prominently positioned behind the bar, walls are swathed in warm yellow, gold and rust hues contrasted by sleek industrial vaulted ceilings covered in copper-toned corrugated metal offset by large black circular chandeliers.
In addition to their brand-wide donation to CureSearch for Children's Cancer, and as part of Iron Hill's philanthropy and commitment to the communities they serve, the brewery and restaurant will be collaborating with Philabundance to donate $0.75 from each Triple Chocolate Hill dessert sold in order to help fund the organization's mission to drive hunger from our communities today and to end hunger forever.
"When we opened our first Iron Hill 22 years ago, we never dreamed that one day we would be opening our 15th location in Center City Philadelphia," explains Co-Founder Kevin Finn. "We couldn't be more excited to be part of the growth, energy and potential of the East Market neighborhood to offer a new place to enjoy delicious beer and food with good friends."
About Iron Hill
Named after the historic Revolutionary War landmark in Delaware, where General George Washington battled the British, Iron Hill is among the most enduringly successful craft brewers in the United States. Its 21-year consecutive medal-winning streak at national and international competitions is the longest by any independent craft brewery.
Founded by home brewers Kevin Finn, Mark Edelson and restaurateur Kevin Davies in Newark, DE in 1996, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant has blossomed from one restaurant and brewery to 15 locations up and down the East Coast, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and South Carolina. Each brewery/restaurant has their own scratch kitchen and craft brewery, allowing individual chefs and brewers the creativity to pair the freshest ingredients with the highest quality grains and hops. For 21 years, Iron Hill has incorporated beer in everything they do. As a result, Finn, Edelson and Davies are viewed as innovative business leaders in their home state of Delaware and in the Mid-Atlantic region. They started Iron Hill at a time when small breweries were just beginning to gain mass appeal around the country and their entrepreneurial, forward thinking helped build them into what they are to date. Each individual location has its own head brewer. Each location dedicates itself to the freshest ingredients and friendly atmosphere for all age groups – helping change overall perceptions about brewpubs one meal, one pint, one community at a time.

Lexus premiere at exclusive Salon Privé motor show
This year's Salon Privé proved to be the largest, most spectacular and most popular to date. Once again, the world's most exclusive cars convened on the lawns of London's Hurlingham Club for a motoring event unlike any other in the UK. But what made this year so special? The manufacturers out on show read like a 'Who's Who' of the automotive elite. Rolls-Royce, Ferarri, Maserati, Aston Martin, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Bentley… All present and correct. But, for the first time, Lexus added its name to the guest list.
As everyone knows, first impressions count. So how do you stand out amongst most desirable cars on the planet? LFA.
The handcrafted Lexus supercar took pride of place at the event, although Lexus had even more to offer. The flagship LS 600h saloon put Lexus full-hybrid technology at the heart of the show, while the 5.0-litre V8-engined IS F proved ultra high-performance luxury doesn't have to be confined to the privileged few.
It certainly worked. With record attendance, the 2010 Salon Privé raised over £150,000 for charitable causes, including the Rainbow Trust Children's Charity, Prostate Cancer Research and The Prince's Trust.
The show also included the hard-fought Salon Privé Concours d'Elégance, where the world's rarest and most valuable classic and vintage cars competed for honours across seven categories. The overall Best of Show award went to Hugh Taylor's exceptional 1932 Alfa Romeo Monza. It will be quite some time until Lexus appears in vintage competitions, but we hope one of the 500 LFAs to go into production will be competing for top honours come 2088…

'China Coup' – Exposed Myth or Hidden Reality?
Nov 30, 2022 Anti CCP, China Coup, China Protests, Zero COVID
The rumors of an attempted coup in China rocked the world in September after Xi Jinping returned from Samarkand. The news was soon found to be untrue but a lot remained hidden as there is no smoke without a fire. For the first time, it was observed that CCP adopted a different approach to manage the damage control done by the 'China Coup' story in the world news. This report includes carefully analyzed details of the timeline of events to understand the Modus Operandi of CCP to hide its illegal practices and shed light on the social media management of the Communist party to keep the World's media in a confused state.
World Introduced To Emperor's Master Plan
Xi Jinping introduced ZERO COVID policy to set example to the world on his ways of dealing with the virus. In 2022, after 60 days of lock down between March- May 22 in the spring season, Shanghai reopened on June 1, with a mere 29 cases reported down from a peak of more than 26,000 per day in April. China's leadership showed this transition as a proof that Zero-Covid has succeeded, again. The policy was well praised by Chinese state media so as to give confidence to several small nations whom China has made dependent on its supplies and support. However, CCP managed its COVID figures to a large extent to prevent any damage to Xi's image which led to a rift between he ruling group and several honest CCP members.
Samarkand Visit: The Turning Point
In September, Xi left mainland and visited abroad for the first time after 893 days for SCO meet at Samarkand. On 15th September, Xi met Putin at Samarkand to discuss Russia- China relations. After returning from Samarkand, he remained away from any media coverage and no news about him was published anywhere in mainland also. On 23 September, an attempted Military Coup in China started making headlines around the world.
"A set of Western influencers working as silent members of the overseas Wumao army were used to suppress the smoke to re-establish a pro-Chinese narrative"
Instead of countering the news by its state sponsored media, China unleashed its non- state actors to counter China coup narrative to bring out a 'Happy Nation' picture of China. Any attempt to create a counter through state media could have caused more damage so CCP used a hidden resources which it has raised over a few years now. A set of Western influencers working as silent members of overseas Wumao army, were used to suppress the smoke to re-establish a pro- Chinese narrative. Some fact finders even reach Beijing on CCP sponsored tours to establish that everything is fine and smooth in Beijing and Xi as a strong leader. One German gentleman covered Beijing from CCP glasses to create a counter narrative of China Coup story otherwise why would a country allow a foreign national to freely roam in Beijing and bring out facts while it monitors it own citizens 24*7 through Artificial Intelligence based surveillance system. What Deutsche did not cover was the plight of millions of residents locked in their homes without sufficient food, water and medicine due to ZERO Covid policy. The pictures shared on his twitter account clearly showed empty streets with handful of people on streets due to lock down while he was roaming free without mask while everyone else in the picture was wearing one.
Crackdown on Dissent Group After Coup Rumour
Former Deputy Minister of Public Security Sun Lijun
In the meanwhile, CCP identified the dissent group in the leadership and started firing them on vague reasons like corruption. Pictures of Hu Jintao being removed from congress session went viral too.
On 04 Nov 22, CCP ordered the arrest of the former Deputy Minister of Public Security Sun Lijun on charges of corruption. He was expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) in September and the authorities failed to answer what exactly Sun had done to draw such strong allegations from the authorities. Sun, 53, was handed a suspended death sentence that will be commuted to life imprisonment after two years, with no possibility of parole.
Former Justice Minister Fu Zhenghua
The same week, CCP also arrested former Justice Minister Fu Zhenghua who was also deputy director of the social and legal affairs committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). He was placed under investigation on suspicion of "Serious Disciplinary Violations." The arrest of the tallest secret keeper of Xi- Fu Zhenghua was a strong message to all party members that nobody is safe from Jinping. Before taking up his post at the CPPCC, Fu served as justice minister and deputy police chief for the Beijing municipal police department where he led an intense crackdown on the city's sex industry, which was said to have influential political connections. Being Jinping's confidant, Fu is a man who knew too much and became a threat to Xi.
The next in line was Gong Daoan, former vice-mayor of the Shanghai government and former director of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for taking bribes. Gong spent most of his career in Hubei province and became Shanghai's police chief in 2017. Deng Huilin, former vice-mayor of the Chongqing municipal government and former head of the Chongqing Public Security Bureau, was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Deng served his positions including as the Deputy Director of the Hubei provincial economic commission, the vice-mayor and police chief of Yichang in Hubei, the director of the general office of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the CPC Central Committee, and the head of Chongqing Public
Arrested Police Chiefs Gong Daoan, Deng Huilin and Lu Xinyun
Security Bureau. The third one Liu Xinyun, former vice-governor and police chief of Shanxi province, was sentenced to 14 years in prison on corruption related convictions.
Taking it further, just before the beginning of the 20th congress on 16th October 22, CCP arrested 1.4 million people alleged as criminals, as a part of the Ministry of Public Security's "100-day operation".
"The reasons of protests in these specific locations is not clear but before arrests Mr. Sun Lijun and Mr. Gong Daoan served in Shanghai, Mr. Fu Zhenghua (Xi's Secret Keeper) served in Beijing and Xinjiang, Mr. Deng Huilin served in Chongqing and Mr. Liu Xinyun served in Shanxi"
Does Chinese Uprising Has a Leadership Within CCP?
It is dubious that a revolution can ever take place in the absence of a leadership. The protests started in September after a bus carrying Twenty Seven people crashed while taking them to a Covid-19 quarantine facility in southwest China's Guizhou province killing all of them. The triggering point which gathered World's attention was on 13 October 22, when a man apparently acting alone
Protestor arrested in Beijing on 13 Oct 22
draped two white banners daubed with large red characters over the parapet of the Sitong road bridge in Beijing. His banner urged to 'Take down Dictator Xi Jinping'. The incident proved that the anger and frustration of a common man has surpassed the fear of CCP and the situation is already explosive. The Tibetan community also took an aggressive stand and a rare protest was witnessed in Lhasa on 25 October 2022.
In November, the Foxconn protests in Zhengzhou followed by Haizhu district in Guangzhou created strong grounds for violent mobilization of protests. Urumqui fire on 24 November which claimed 10 lives further aggravated clashes between people and security forces in Shanghai, Chengdu, Shanxi, Nanjing, Bejing and Wuhan.
The reasons of protests in specifically these locations is not clear but before their arrests, Former Deputy Minister of Public Security Sun Lijun and Former vice-mayor Mr. Gong Daoan served in Shanghai, Former Justice Minister Fu Zhenghua (Xi's Secret Keeper) served in Beijing and Xinjiang, Former vice mayor Mr. Deng Huilin served in Chongqing and Former vice-governor Mr. Liu Xinyun served in Shanxi.
"If SINOVAC is not effective, then these nations may soon face another COVID wave like China. If SINOVAC is effective, there is no reason why China is experiencing a strong COVID wave"
Suppressing a Revolution Under ZERO COVID Policy?
Chinese state media has made big claims about Jinping's policies to control pandemic and its on ground effective results. Several research reports and news articles which praised China's SINOVAC Covid vaccine now appear to be paid content since the vaccine does not seem to work in mainland itself. In September 21, Reuters quoted a Malaysian report stating that Sincovac is highly effective against serious illness. Another article by New York Times quoted a Hong Kong based Chinese funded Research report stated "Sinovac Boosters Provide Key Protection to Older People". The article further stated that two doses of China's Sinovac vaccine offered older people only a moderately high level of protection against severe disease and death from Covid-19, but a third dose significantly bolstered their defenses. These claims on SINOVAC gives two possible outcomes that either it is effective or all these reports and articles have clearly deceived millions of people in Asia and Africa who took the Chinese vaccine. WHO shipped more than 100 million doses of SINOVAC to sixty countries of Africa Asia in September 2022 to test its after effects on local population. Clearly, the Chinese debt ridden African and Asian nations were treated as guinea pigs to vaccine testing. If SINOVAC is not effective, then these nations may soon face another COVID wave like China since they have been deceived by prominent news agencies and paid research labs.
If SINOVAC is effective, there is no reason why China is experiencing a strong COVID wave and all the lock downs can merely be an eyewash to suppress an Anti- CCP and Anti- Jinping movement which ignited in September 22 and smoke came out as a Coup news.
PLA Armoured vehicles deployed to control protestors
As on date, there are protests going on in at least 15 big cities which include Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Chonquing, Guangzhou, Lhasa, Hotan, Korla, Urumqi, Chengdu. Several cities have also deployed People's Liberation Army to crack down on protests. The most popular and loved leader of China is not able to convince people to maintain peace and calm. Several comments obtained from Chat groups show the anger of people against their own army which has now been deployed to tackle common civilians. A user commented that: When the People's soldiers point their guns at the people, the people must unite to overthrow it. Others even called PLA as EXECUTIONERS!
Chinese citizens mobilizing and raising voice against PLA on We Chat
Moreover, in June 22, a notice attributed to Cai Qi, the Beijing secretary of the Chinese Communist party sparked tensions after it announced the extension of ZERO COVID policy till another 5 years. The notice was first posted by Beijing Daily and republished by other state media outlets. It spread widely across social media, but soon the reference to "five years" was removed from most online publications, and a related hashtag on Weibo was deleted.
Coup or No Coup, China is surely undergoing a revolutionary wave where CCP is no more considered as an ideal which will eventually end up in creating room for Chinese democracy in near future.

Q: Kmail2 really slow Ever since migrating to Kubuntu 11.10 and the forced migration to kmail2 with the akonadi backend I am having serious performance problems. Is there some sort of maintenance or cleanup task that I can run to optimize it.
I have large maildir based emails dating back to 2000 and would really like to keep having all around but worst case I might have to back it up and start fresh. Any tips to avoid this?

A: "While overall, Kmail2 is actually quite good imo, the migration process is not."

Figurative, or representational, art is an old genre. But a new exhibition staged by the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts aims to help modernize it.
The Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts is staging an exhibition to promote a new, experimental future for figurative art in China.
"Beyond the Image — the 2nd Exhibition of the Experimental Figurative Painting Studio," to be held from July 12 to 19 at the Liu Haisu Art Museum, will feature the works of nearly 20 artists — from veterans like Jiang Jianzhong to emerging talent.
Figurative, or representational, art is based on real objects rather than abstract representations.
It has long influenced Chinese art — from the academic to the public. Experts said the art form peaked during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76) when political posters were all the rage.
But with new ideas, especially with the impact of social media, it is no longer as popular.
In addition to artists from the academy, the exhibition has also invited painters from other cities and regions.
"The visual images of figurative art, especially in the present era, should not be limited to the traditions, memories or reference to the past," said artist Jiang.
Instead, the exhibition tries to reflect a more personal perspective of the artists. For example, under the brushstrokes of Shi Zhiying, a piece of simple stone is fused with playful tones.
The highlight goes to Zhou Yingchen, whose work features a kind of "freezing moment" on the canvas. The light and shade cast on an ordinary street scene is mysteriously soothing.
Curator Xu said a larger-scale exhibition is under planning for next year in Beijing.

Sinn Fein TD Ó Caoláin to support motion of censure on O'Flaherty appointment
Sinn Fein TD Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin will support the Dáil Private Members' Motion censuring the Government's nomination of Judge Hugh O'Flaherty as vice-president of the European Investment Bank.
Deputy Ó Caoláin said:
``This appointment is entirely inappropriate given the failure of Judge O'Flaherty to account for his role in the Sheedy affair before the Oireachtas.
``I opposed the legislation in the Dáil last year which awarded a very large pension to Judge O'Flaherty.
I share the public anger at the prospect of a judge, whose conduct in the Sheedy affair was criticised in the Chief Justice's report, now being placed by this Government in a highly lucrative post, apparently as compensation from Finance Minister McCreevy for embarrassment suffered last year. This is not about the personality of a judge but about the credibility of a government.''

When I first started leading Public Law Project's (PLP's) Brexit work, some people were surprised that we had chosen this as a focus area. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, that is no longer the case.
PLP takes no position on the UK's decision to leave the EU. Our objectives are: to strengthen our democratic settlement by ensuring that parliament is appropriately sovereign, that the executive is held to account, and that the interests of disadvantaged groups are properly and effectively represented; and to ensure procedural fairness for those most likely to be affected by the Brexit process. We aim to achieve these goals through strategic use of research, policy, training, casework and litigation.
We have been active members of the Brexit Civil Society Alliance, which aims to bring together civil society organisations from all parts of the UK to ensure our voices (and those of our beneficiaries) are heard in the Brexit process. This has enabled PLP to participate in advocacy around the scope of delegated powers in the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EU(W)A) and subsequent Brexit-related legislation, and to build strong connections with other civil society organisations that share our concerns. Through the work of the alliance, we have used our public law expertise to support scrutiny and advocacy.
Whole new systems are effectively established by way of secondary legislation. This almost completely restricts meaningful parliamentary scrutiny and allows virtually no opportunity for civil society stakeholders to contribute to the process.
To address widely articulated concerns about the breadth of the delegated powers conferred by the EU(W)A, we established the SIFT Project, described in my colleague Alexandra Sinclair's column earlier this year (see June 2019 Legal Action 9). One of the consequences of copying and pasting EU law into domestic law, and then giving ministers powers to 'prevent, remedy or mitigate' 'deficiencies' (EU(W)A s8), is that whole new systems are effectively established by way of secondary legislation. This almost completely restricts meaningful parliamentary scrutiny and allows virtually no opportunity for civil society stakeholders to contribute to the process. By systematically monitoring the statutory instruments produced through this process, PLP has identified and highlighted significant policy changes made in this way, and worked collaboratively with civil society partners to raise concerns with civil servants, parliamentarians and government.
We are also seeking, as always, to raise awareness of judicial review as a mechanism for challenging executive overreach through delegated legislation. That mechanism is particularly important in the context of the massive law-making project that is Brexit, with necessarily reduced opportunities for effective pre-legislative scrutiny.
Another significant focus of PLP's Brexit work is the EU Settlement Scheme. We have recently published an administrative justice analysis of the scheme, the result of phase 1 of a major research project based on an end-to-end analysis of the scheme. Quick and uneasy justice (16 July 2019) is essential reading for anyone concerned about the fairness of this scheme, which will decide the future immigration status of the nearly four million EU nationals and their family members living in the UK.
Its key finding is that the scheme represents 'an acceleration of an existing trend towards quick justice at the expense of important safeguards' (page 5). The likely result of this shift, in the longer term, is that there will be greater divergence in individual experiences of administrative justice within the context of immigration. The scheme is also a forerunner and testing ground for the type of automated decision-making that may be rolled out across our justice system as part of HM Courts and Tribunals Service's court reform programme.
PLP has also established a specialist support hub to provide public law expertise to front-line organisations working on the EU Settlement Scheme. We will provide training and consultancy to front-line advice organisations, to increase their ability to identify public law challenges to individual decisions as well as systemic problems, particularly where these affect those whose access to justice is impeded by poverty or other barriers. We will monitor the roll-out of the scheme, including through further research, and identify public law issues that can be tackled through policy advocacy, casework and litigation.
There is no doubt that Brexit is the most significant constitutional challenge facing this country, and that there is an important role for public law, and for social welfare lawyers, in holding the executive to account and ensuring fair treatment and access to justice for those most affected.
Our aim – as always – is to work collaboratively with colleagues with immigration and public law expertise, as well as those on the front line. Anyone interested in finding out more about this project should contact Ollie Persey at o.persey@publiclawproject.org.uk.

Специјална болница за реуматске болести Нови Сад или Јодна Бања здравстевена је установа у Новом Саду, у Футошкој улици бр. 68.. То је савремена реуматолошка болница и једина специјализована установа ове врсте у Војводини. Комплекс бање представља непокретно културно добро као просторна културно-историјска целина од великог значаја.

Делатност
Бави се дијагностиком, лечењем и рехабилитацијом свих облика реуматизма. Захваљујући савременој дијагностичкој опреми (ДЕXА – остеодензитометар, дигитални Ртг апарат, дијагностички ултразвучни апарат,...) и повећаном броју реуматолога, у могућности је да задовољи захтеве савремене реуматологије: рано откривање, спречавање и благовремено лечење. Постала је референтна установа за употребу биолошких лекова као најсавременијег облика медикаментног лечења у реуматологији, што јој уз постојећу опрему за физикални третман, искусне терапеуте и сестре омогућује комплекснији приступ лечењу реуматизма.

Историјски развој
На месту где је данас Специјална болница за реуматске болести Нови Сад, некада је било јодно градско купатило. Године 1908. доктор Виљем Вита иницирао је да добије званичан статус лековите бање и испословао царско одобрење. Главне објекте Јодне бање пројектовао је архитекта Имре Франчек из Будимпеште. Бања је 1931. године проширена, и у то доба постала позната и популарна. То је трајало све до 60-их година 20. века. У то време бања је поседовала велике каде, базене, и опрему за физикалну терапију. Бања је била позната по купкама, сланим и сумпорним.

Бања је нагло запуштена, 1977. године када престаје да ради највећи, централни базен.

Након 2000. године, Јодна бања поново добија свој стари сјај. Обнавља пружање терапијских услуге лековитом водом. У рад су пуштене и две терапијске каде са бисерном купком и две за подводну масажу. Данас је ово савремена реуматолошка болница и једина установа ове врсте у Војводини. Бави се дијагностиком, лечењем и рехабилитацијом свих облика реуматизма. Новосадска Јодна бања настала је крајем 19. века (1897. године) код Футошке шуме, приликом бушења артешког бунара за потребе снабдевања града пијаћом водом

Тада је избила топла, минерална, јодна вода, температуре 24,6 °C, чија је лековитост касније анализирана и потврђена. Почетак рада Варошког јодног купатила, као организоване здравствене установе, када је добила одобрење за почетак рада и статус лековите бање, сматра се 1910. Градња је почета 1908. Сецесијска зграда Јодне бање у то време спада у групу најмаркантнијих објеката на западној страни града, чиме је доприносила амбијенталном квалитету краја у коме се нашла. Здравствена служба Бање била је на веома завидном нивоу. Имала је стално запосленог лекара, уз то специјалисту балнеолога, који је био први управник Бање — др Вилхелм Њилт.

У то време, у функцији је био велики број када, тушева и три базена са топлом и хладном водом. У одељењу за физикалну терапију спроводе се разне терапијске процедуре: електро, фото, крио, хелио, фанго терапија, као и масажа. У терапијске сврхе примењивале су се и различите купке: слане, сумпорне, угљено-киселе, у пени, суво-ваздушне. У Бањи су се лечили болесници са боловима реуматског порекла, неуралгијама, ишијасом, боловима и отоцима у зглобовима реуматског и трауматског порекла, акутним и хроничним катаром желуца и црева, последицама запаљења бубрега, гојазности итд.

Године 1957. у Бањи се формира Центар за медицинску рехабилитацију, који претходи каснијем развоју медицинске рехабилитације у Војводини. Почиње развој кинези и радне терапије, повећава се број апарата за физикалну терапију и мења се кадровска структура запослених. Од 1966. године започиње наизменични период интеграције и осамостаљења. У 1991. години урађена је делимична спољашња и унутрашња адаптација зграде, уведена је рачунарска опрема у битним процесима рада. Године 1977. престаје рад базена који је био смештен у делу зграде који је подигнут још 1910. године. Због дотрајалости зграде и инсталација и немогућности ревитализације овог дела установе 1994. године престаје сваки облик хидротерапије. Крајем 2002. године, на чело Завода за реуматизам Нови Сад дошла је др Милијанка Лазаревић, специјалиста за физикалну медицину и рехабилитацију.

Медицинске индикације
Вода из Јодне Бање је повољна нарочито за лечење следећих обољења:
 болови реумтаског порекла
 неуралгије
 ишијас
 болови и отоци у зглобовима реумтаског и траумтаског порекла

Физикална терапија је један од најважнијих делова медицинске рехабилитације. У Јодној бањи болесници, у завиности од стања и проблема са којим се суочавају, могу добити термотерапију, електротерапију, ултразвучну терапију, терапију ласером, магнетну терапију и фототерапију.

Комплекс Јодне бање
Комплекс Специјалне болнице за реуматске болести чине: централна зграда, стари хотел "Парк", турско купатило, котларница са димњаком и неколико помоћних објеката. Зграда турског купатила није у функцији и пропада, док стари хотел "Парк" и котларница имају другачију намену од првобитне. Некадашњи хотел функционише као болнички стационар, северни део котларнице је преуређен у стамбени простор, док је јужни ван употребе. Једино је централна зграда задржала првобитну функцију. Комплекс Јодне бање захвата површину од 0,94 ha. Објекат је у одличном стању после скорашњег реновирања, а у њему су смештене ординације, сале за терапију и канцеларије лекара и управе.

Спортски центар "Сајмиште"
Други важан комплекс, који доприноси спортско-рекреативној функцији Бање, јесте Спортски центар "Сајмиште". Комплекс се налази на 48.000 m2 и састоји се од комплекса базена (олимпијски, дечји и базен за бебе), клизалишта, аутоматске куглане са четири терена, спортске дворане од 5.000 m², спортске амбуланте и пословног простора. Пратећи простори су трибине са угоститељским простором, гардеробама и јавном телефонском говорницом. СЦ "Сајмиште" у свом саставу поседује и низ отворених спортских терена. Реч је о травнатом фудбалском терену, два асфалтна терена за рукомет и одбојку, кошаркашком терену, девет тениских терена и трим стази. Посебну вредност овог спортско-рекреативног центра представља комплекс отворених базена, који, у пуном смислу те речи, употпуњују рекреативне садржаје целокупног бањског комплекса.

Будућност Јодне бање
Поред обнове постојећих објеката у склопу Специјалне болнице и изградње нових на месту оних који немају културно-историјску вредност, важно је, уз болничке и лечилишне, увести и рекреативне садржаје, доступне грађанству и туристима. То би, пре свега, значило обнову праксе употребе термо-минералне воде и пелоида, што у савременом бањском туризму представља суштину спа концепта. Иста опаска односи се и на СЦ "Сајмиште", који би коришћењем термо-минаралне воде из постојећих бушотина, осим рекреативног, представљао и центар здравствене превенције, па тако од локалног, добио шири друштвени значај. Уређење Футошког парка, према важећем планском документу, од круцијалне је важности за његово атрактивирање и активирање, што подразумева обнову постојећег урбаног мобилијара и комуналних објеката и постављање нових, где се посебан акценат ставља на обнову бунара термо-минералне воде и њихово претварање у активне и уређене изворе, наткривене атрактивним сводовима, као и на обнову стаза за шетање.

My budgie laid her first egg on Oct 25 ~ Oct 26. Its Oct 27th now but she doesn't lay her second egg what should i do!
I made a nest box ready for her, when i was cleaning the budgie's favourite coconut husk i saw 1 egg. so should i get rid of the nest box? Should i put pine shavings in the coconut husk it is like a coconuts husk but it is actually the shell without the husk so it is quite hard.
If the bird is not sitting on the egg, toss it. You don't want to encourage egg laying, by providing a nest.
If your bird is not eating a high quality pellet diet, like Harrison's, then your bird could become egg bound. If your bird appears to be straining for a long period of time, trying to lay an egg, then get your bird to an avian vet ASAP.

Q: jquery not(:contains) not working I am using the following code to filter the rows that does not contains the specific text.
var x = "cotton";

$('#divQualCodeFuncPMType > table tbody tr:gt(0) td:eq(2) span:not(:contains(' + x + '))').closest("tr");

It results in no row but if I use following code to filter rows with specific text then it works fine, so seems like there is something wrong with my implementation of not.
$('#divQualCodeFuncPMType > table tbody tr:gt(0) td:eq(2) span:contains(' + x + ')').closest("tr");

Can someone please correct what is wrong here. Any help will be appreciated.
Update: HTML markup

                    Map Id

                    Type Id

                    Material Type

                    10

                    60

                    100% cotton

                    20

                    70

                    100% cotton

A: The problem is the td:eq(2), as that only matches the third td of all the matching rows (not just the third one in each row)!
e.g. problem shown here http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/a9mck46m/2/
Use nth-child(3) instead:
$('#divQualCodeFuncPMType > table tbody tr:gt(0) td:nth-child(3) span:contains("' + x + '")').closest("tr");

JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/a9mck46m/1/
td:nth-child(3) will match each td that is the 3rd child. Note nth-child starts at 1 (to be compatible with the CSS equivalent).
Update: "filter is your friend":
Once you start to get complex queries, is is much easier to switch to using a filter with a function that returns true or false to include/exclude items.
e.g.
var $el = $('#divQualCodeFuncPMType > table tbody tr:gt(0)').filter(function(){
    return $('td:nth-child(3) span:contains("' + x + '")', this);
});

JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TrueBlueAussie/a9mck46m/4/
Your additional question, below, asked about combining searches:
The following simply returned a true value if both items are found:
var x = "cotton";
var y = "Fish";
var $el = $('#divQualCodeFuncPMType > table tbody tr:gt(0)').filter(function(){
    return $(this).find('td:nth-child(3) span:contains("' + x + '")').length && $(this).find('td:nth-child(5) span:contains("' + y + '")').length;
});

Women in Manufacturing: Looking Beyond Profits
More and more women are foraying into the manufacturing industry, and they have their own unique sets of ideas and methods to help their businesses succeed. Three Georgia women are women whose manufacturing companies are committed to more than just profits.
More and more women are foraying into the manufacturing industry, and they have their own unique sets of ideas and methods to help their businesses succeed. Three Georgia women — Robin Schick, President of CalyRoad Creamery, Heidi Nel, President of Heidi's Heavenly Cookies and Molly Hubbard, President of Shape Innovation — are women whose manufacturing companies are committed to more than just profits.
Inspired by great foods from around the world, Robin Schick wanted to create a business involving natural or agricultural products. Initially, she thought she would raise goats and make cheese. However, she quickly learned she was best at making fresh, reliable, handmade artisan cheeses from goat milk, something consumers may not be able to buy at their favorite grocery store chains. Today the company has diversified its products, adding aged and fresh cows' milk cheeses.
Since opening her business, Robin has been committed to producing a better tasting, all-natural cheese with no preservatives or stabilizers, as well as supporting local suppliers. Seventy percent of her business comes from retail sales at farmer's markets or people who come to her store, and 30 percent comes from high-end restaurants who appreciate her natural product.
CalyRoad Creamery is a profitable business, and Robin values her employee, supplier and customer relationships above everything else. She sees her role, not only as president of her company, but also as an important job creator for others. She is proud to have created an environment where all employees can learn and feel good about themselves, their company and the products they manufacture together.
Heidi Nel's customers report that Heidi's Heavenly Cookies are different from all other gourmet cookies on the market. From the look and appeal of the product and the gift packaging to the enhanced homemade taste without any preservatives, Heidi's Heavenly Cookies are a full sensory experience.
Heidi say she has incorporated Maya Angelou's philosophy into her company's mission because it represents the essence of her business and its products: "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Heidi is so committed to having her cookies arrive in the same condition as they leave her manufacturing facility that her logistics are now used by UPS as a resource for shipping perishables. As a tribute to her company's efforts, Heidi's Heavenly Cookies had no returns during the busy 2012 holiday season.
While Heidi wants her employees to have a strong work ethic and willingness to learn, she strongly encourages her employees to experiment, be creative and contribute new ideas. Their contributions truly make the company and its products better than anyone ever dreamed possible. Heidi also believes that family comes first. "By allowing people to attend to family needs, it comes back in spades." She also fosters a workplace environment where people can make mistakes and are not punished.
As a result of her leadership, values and beliefs, every year since the founding of her business in 2002, the company has performed financially better than the year before, all without any traditional advertising.
Molly Hubbard's company, Shape Innovation, was originally established more than 25 years ago by her father. At that time, the company focused on architectural form shapes. When Molly bought the business a few years ago, she became one of the few women to own an EPS foam fabricating business.
One of the most popular products produced by Shape Innovation are foam "cake dummies," which Molly supplies to independent bakers, cake decorating supply companies, bakery departments in major grocery store chains, TV baking shows and as movie props. Because Shape Innovation is primarily a custom shop, the company is able to create just about any imaginable food or food-related product. Examples include gigantic props such as hot dogs, bananas, cupcakes and spaghetti sauce jars. These can be found on the top of cars, trucks and buildings as well as at trade shows.
Today there are not many foam fabricators left in the United States, especially ones that customize products and sell direct. By offering both custom and stock products less expensively, Molly is able to achieve a significant price advantage over her competitors.
Molly feels women manufacturers take a more personal approach in their businesses because they typically have both a professional and personal interest in food. Being involved in a highly creative and artistic company, Molly is able to change her business with the times and change products as needed. She says her management style is more progressive and flexible, and she is open to new ideas and suggestions. Since Molly is projecting significant growth in 2013 due to increased Internet sales and by offering additional stock pieces, she plans to hire 50 percent more people this year.
While these three women business owners do focus on the bottom line, they have also found a way to incorporate their own unique values of what is important to them, their employees, suppliers and customers into their businesses.

Gregg Grimsley, president of Peanut Proud, Inc. reports that Peanut Proud, the humanitarian outreach program of the peanut industry, has been extremely busy this year because of two gigantic hurricanes in the heart of Peanut Country. The all-volunteer committee reports delivering 60,480 jars of peanut butter to food banks and distribution centers around Hurricane Florence in North and South Carolina.
After Hurricane Michael destroyed parts of Florida and Georgia, peanut butter delivery totals were 151,200 jars to food banks, FEMA, churches and other locations feeding linemen. Grimsley reported that in 2018, total peanut butter jar deliveries totaled 339,920, a record for the volunteers.
Grimsley noted that the job is not over; 16.2 million children, or one in five, are food insecure nationwide.
To make a gift, send a check to Peanut Proud, P. O. Box 650, Blakely, GA 39823, or give on the website. Only $770 buys l/2 pallet of peanut butter.
Come celebrate all things peanut in Blakely, Georgia, at the annual Peanut Proud Festival held on the town square March 23.
The day-long celebration begins with a 5K and Fun Run and ends with a street dance. In between are a parade, more than 100 vendors, a kids' peanut butter obstacle course, free entertainment, and much more. Come sample specialty products such as fried peanuts and grilled PB&J sandwiches and visit our Peanut Proud store.

The American Peanut Council and the APC Export Board are now united under one umbrella for America's peanut industry. The council has just completed comprehensive strategy plan that should make the council more effective in domestic issues and the lead organization for peanut export promotions. The APC is a voice at the table when peanuts issues are discussed.
For the APC Board, officers are Sid Levy, SGL International, Chairman; Monty Rast, South Carolina Peanut Farmers, Vice-Chairman; and John Witiak, Hormel Foods, Secretary/Treasurer. Charles Birdsong will remain on the board for one more year as Past Chairman, and as part of a by-laws change, Nic Melhuish will remain on a larger 7-person Executive Committee as post past Chair.
For APC Export Division board, officers are Bob Sutter, North Carolina Peanut Producers, Chairman; Ravi Prabhakar, Olam, Vice-Chairman; and Mark Kaiser, Alabama Peanut Producers, Secretary/Treasurer. Brent Cuddy of Golden Peanut will remain an officer as past Chair for the year. Six National Peanut Board representatives serve on the Export Division Board and will be named soon.
The new executive committee will include the Chairman of the Export Board, the Chairman of the Foundation, and the Past Chairman of the APC Board for continuity. On the APC board, Clint Piper of Golden Peanut and Tree Nut will replace Greg Mills.
That's the message from Jen Nolander, Marketing Director for Skippy Peanut Butter, a product of Hormel Foods. Speaking at the American Peanut Council Winter Conference, Jen says Hormel is a global branded food company with 54 percent retail, 28 percent food service and 9 percent deli. The company has the #1 or #2 brand in over 35 categories. Delivering on brand is developed with taste, product consistency, safe product and a fair value. She noted concern about market information that showed snacks nuts down .2 percent and nut spreads down 1.1 percent.
She emphasized that consumers have lots of choices, 40,000 items in a super market or 60,000 products in a Walmart. Another concern was market stagnation as 2 million households failed to buy peanut butter during back to school. She emphasized that creating brand trust is the responsibility of everyone in the peanut industry. She noted that we must work together with consumers as a team to promote brands of peanuts and peanut products.
Georgia Farm Bureau presented the Georgia Food Bank Association a check for $25,600 during the 81st Annual Georgia Farm Bureau Convention, held in December at Jekyll Island. Funds for the donation were raised through Farm Bureau's "Harvest for All" campaign, which collected donations from county Farm Bureaus and the organization's state office, as well as the GFB Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee's "Calf's Weight in Change" drive held earlier this year.
George Lovatt, president of Lovett & Rushing Brokerage talked "Peanuts By The Numbers" during the special commodity session of the Georgia Farm Bureau.
Three positions on the Georgia Peanut Commission (GPC) Board of Directors were recently filled to represent districts 2, 4 and 5. The terms expired Dec. 31, 2018.
Armond Morris, Rodney Dawson and Donald Chase, incumbents, were the only nominees in District 2, 4 and 5, respectively.
When only one person qualifies for the position, no election is required and the nominated person automatically becomes a member of the Georgia Peanut Commission. Members serve three-year terms.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue recently announced the appointment of Casey Cox, Camilla, Georgia, to fill a vacant seat as an alternate on the National Peanut Board. The three-year term began Jan. 1, 2019.
The board is made up of 12 producer members and their alternates. Eleven members and alternates are from the primary peanut producing states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. An at-large member and alternate represent other peanut producing states.


What comes to mind when you think of Africa? During the World Cup, perhaps thousands of vuvuzelas sounding like a swarm of very angry bees as fans cheer their team.
Surely huge herds of animals walking across vast, open plains. I arrived in South Africa, in 1996, to work with Rudi van Aarde at the University of Pretoria. I knew from books that Africa had deserts, rain forests, and snow-covered mountains. The image of treeless savannas was so deeply embedded that I found myself unreasonably surprised when Rudi took me into the field for the first time –in Kruger National Park. It was a landscape of thick bush.
I must have spent too much time watching the National Geographic Channel. Watch the brief trailer below to get a sampling of what I mean.
These instantly recognizable images belong to a very small part of Africa–the Serengeti ecosystem of northern Tanzania and southern Kenya. It's so spectacular that it burns our consciousness out of all proportion to its size of about 30,000 km2 (12,00 square miles). It defines Africa in a unique way, perhaps, as some scientists argue, because it's the landscape where we became human.
If a planned road cuts it in half, it may be a landscape our children will watch only as history.
The surprising thing about Arusha, a city of a million-plus people in northern Tanzania is that you can get there from here–there are direct flights from Europe, as well as other African countries.
All those on my flight were heading west–to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Olduvai Gorge and other places that so excite the mind. These are World Heritage sites, a recognition afforded only the most special places on Earth.
It's slow going. The journey, all the way to Lake Victoria, may only be 400 km (250 miles), as the tawny eagle flies, but it's a slow, punishing journey on dirt roads.
All that could change with a hard surfaced road that would connect Arusha to Musoma and other towns on the lake and open up sparsely populated grazing lands south of the Kenyan border. Construction is planned to start in 2012.
This road threatens the migration of nearly two million animals. Wildebeest, for example, spend the wet season to the south then move northward and across the border into Kenya for the dry season. The proposed road would block both northward and southward migrations.
In the environmental understatement of the decade, Arusha Regional Commissioner Isidori Shirima concluded that the controversy surrounding the project had been resolved.
Those who know this area sharply disagreed. I talked to Anne Kent Taylor, a recent National Geographic grantee through the Big Cats Initiative, who has lived in Kenya since she was a child. Anne works on lions–and how to prevent them taking the pastoralists' livestock–in the Mara, the grasslands on the Kenyan side of the border. She's a community activist, working to help build schools, provide books and sports equipment to help Masai who want their children to be educated.
"The road would completely destroy the migrations," she told me. "The animals will be slaughtered by the trucks. And if there's a fence along the road, it will stop the migration.
"There's a second threat. Poaching is going to increase exponentially. It's already a problem. But in remote areas, the animals are harder to reach and then their parts have to be schlepped long distances. With a road, the meat, rhino horn, and ivory will be able to reach their illegal markets much more easily.
Is this what lies ahead for the Serengeti? This road scene on an East African highway was made by my colleague Rudi van Aarde.
"The opposition mainly came from pressure groups and green activists who were concerned about the possible negative environment impact that the road might cause, but the latest feasibility studies have taken into consideration such matters.
According to Mr Shirima, it took the President, Mr Jakaya Kikwete, to intervene, ordering that the project was of high economic importance to the nation and specifically the four districts of Monduli, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Musoma Rural, through which the highway is to traverse.
I found this hard to believe. I've traveled enough roads in East Africa to know how brutal the traffic can be on them. The one from Nairobi to Mombasa is enjoyed only by those who feel immortal. It splits–very effectively–the two sides of Tsavo National Park. And I'm far too chicken to drive in elephant country at night; those who have, tell of harrowing tales of elephants that appear out of nowhere.
One name stands out when it comes to the ecology of the Serengeti: Tony Sinclair. He's worked there for his long and distinguished career and written the definitive books about the ecosystem's ecology.
There was an obvious question, though: How essential was this road to develop towns like Musoma?
"That's a poorly developed town, because it's so isolated," Tony told me."But here's the irony. There's a much better route for the road–south of the Serengeti. It would avoid the ecologically sensitive areas, but importantly, serve a lot more people. Including the town of Mwanza," which is also on Lake Victoria.
Along with Tony, colleagues at the Frankfurt Zoological Society had produced a detailed account of why the northern road should not be built and why the southern one would bring greater national benefits.
So who's paying for the road? No one with whom I talked knew for certain. In the late 1800s, it was European powers who divided up Africa–without actually asking any Africans. They helped Africa build its infrastructure–to very different extents.
Chinese construction of new road between Kasane and Maun in northern Botswana.
But the changing face of African development is obvious. Drive into the city from Nairobi airport and there's a large display of China and Kenya shaking hands.
Chinese investment seems to be everywhere. The UK magazine, The Economist, reports an investment of U.S.$10 billion in low-interest loans over the next three years. In a debate, Calestous Juma of Harvard University and George Ayittey of American University have sharply different views on whether this will improve Africa.
What China wants in return for development aid may be mutually beneficial, of course. For countries such as Tanzania and Kenya with spectacular wildlife–and a valuable tourism industry that depends on it–the trade-offs may be particularly challenging to get right.

Stephania. You must have a conversation with your family. I don't know the details but if you open your heart to them and talk, maybe they will open theirs to you and explain to you why they are acting the way they are. Open the communication. It's the only way.
Best regards and good wishes.
It's so true Annette, busy, busy,busy. One of the best treatments for everyone and helps many things and maintains you in a positive perspective of expectation as you move on . Totally proud and happy for these new experience. Indeed we all have some experiences in life at different stages. I looked at your experience at this moment at least in or try a positive way. As you said, you had the privilege of having Rafi for some time during these activities and at the end both would enjoy the night. You were blessed to have your husband and had done the same as your friend of that night on another moment. You were blessed to have someone who loved you and taked care of you. Life is unpredictable, I know there are some experienced we never dreamed would happen to us. But Annette we have to go in life as it comes and move forward to what is presented to you or anyone at any moment. Who more than you to know about life surprises.
You have been an inspiration for many, including me on survival and having the power and will to move forward. I am sure you maybe never imagined you would have accomplished all you have done in the last months. You are a warrior and that is very important for survival. Who knows maybe you will be playing a violin, jajaja. I would love to see that! God is with you, that night maybe a bit nostalgic ,but you smiled just remembering those special moments. Know it's time for other special moments, and the universe is conspiring on honoring you to have other experiences and meet and leave a positive impulse or memory so other women can see that it is possible to Stand up and Survive.
Proud of you. Good Bless and every time Rafi comes to your mind just say thank you to him for giving you all that love and thank God for the opportunity. Keep on, Annette, besides helping yourself ,you are touching many lives at this moment.
Una realidad diferente no necesariamente será peor. Seguramente tomara mucho tiempo en acostumbrarse a esa nueva realidad, peor sin duda saldrá exitosa. Gracias por ayer compatir su fuerza y sus ideas con las damas que nos acercamos a usted. Hablar esos minutos fue como hablar una hora. Muy agradecida.
Gracias Rita. Para mi fue muy enriquecedor hablar contigo también. Un abrazo.
I loved your post. Yes, sometimes we feel silly doing that thing we do. I went through a severe ordeal some years ago that left me grieving for 2 years and recovering for 2 more. Mine was more of a trauma. It was hell. Panic attacks, bodily pain, hair falling out and thats just the tip of the iceberg. No one could tell because I hid it well. So you reinvent and reinvent, seek God and keep growing. You heal….you keep going, you fall, you get up and keep going. I took up martial arts, fiddling with Korean language, Italian language, reading, self-development, jewelry making, and recently I'm drawing, journaling, writing and painting again. I healed physically, mentally, emotionally and best of all spiritually. Even finished my masters degree. In the end, while reinventing thyself and feeling silly…..you win! Write-on…..(a distant cousin).
Wow! C. Vaillant. I understand you perfectly. People sometimes don't understand that mental ailments are very human and as real and many times harder to deal than bodily ailments. You are a fighter indeed. Are we related?
Possible relation through your uncle Omar Vaillant. I was told years ago he is my grandfather Cesar's distant cousin. Not sure how close or removed but I saw him on TV once and was shocked at how much they looked alike. You and I met doing genealogical research online with cubagenweb many years ago. We are friends on fb too. ☺ lovely blog and refreshing to read something different. It's like a day in the life. Thank you.


This one simple statement from Jesus brought so much revelation to us. The Religious Leaders thought Jesus was literally threatening to destroy the Holy Temple, but they didn't realize Jesus was the temple and he was raised after three days to live forevermore.
The body is the temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19) through the New Covenant of Jesus, we no longer need to visit the Holy Temple in Jerusalem to talk to God. The Holy Spirit dwells in us and we can be with God everywhere, even in the darkest valleys. Jesus literally prophesied about his death and resurrection, but nobody at the time understood him.
But another great revelation that was taught here most people miss, Jesus said that he will raise himself up again.
As we know God raised Christ from the dead, Jesus is revealing his deity and unity with God the Father in the Trinity. If it wasn't , Jesus would have said that God would raise it up again, but he revealed his deity as Lord of Lords. Through Christ we can be raised again and have the Holy Spirit dwell in us in Jesus Name Amen!

Food Evolution is a new documentary film about the science of, and controversies around, genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The film is narrated by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and follows scientists and opponents of GMOs as they confront policy issues and each other. Farmers explain their experiences with the technology, and with lack of technology.
With only 37% of U.S. adults believing GMOs are safe compared to 88% of scientists, there is clearly a misinformation problem. But who is misinformed and why? [Pew Survey]. Food Evolution seeks to explore this topic by challenging popular beliefs about GMOs, and asking viewers to think about how they evaluate the information and the sources they rely on.
This is the first Boston-area theater viewing opportunity. A post-film discussion panel, moderated by Christopher Lydon of WBUR's Open Source program, will allow attendees to further discuss the issues of science, the role of filmmaking and media in shaping beliefs, and more, with local scientists and food activists.
Tickets: $14 general / $10 Coolidge members.
This Food Evolution screening and discussion panel is co-sponsored by MIT Technology Review, Boston Skeptics, The Long Now Boston group, and the Coolidge Corner Theater.
SitP: Heina Dadabhoy from Islam to Atheism.
Boston Skeptics welcomes our January guest speaker, atheist feminist secular humanist (and many other positive adjectives) blogger Heina Dadabhoy.
Heina will be speaking about her path from Islam to atheism. She is currently writing a book called A Skeptic's Guide to Islam, which will be published in March and is available for preorder on Amazon.
Location: We will be meeting at 7PM on Monday, January 25, 2016 on the third floor of The Hong Kong Restaurant, 1238 Mass Ave in Harvard Square, Cambridge. Please come a little early if possible to order dinner, a snack or drinks and chat with your fellow Skeptics.
Update! Thanks to Andrea and Francois, we now have a video of David Ropeik's talk available on our Vimeo channel.

Risk perception is a topic close to many skeptics, as we see our friends, neighbors, families and, despite our best intentions, ourselves, make poor self-destructive choices about vaccinations, health care, the environment, diet, consumer purchases, politics and many other avenues of life. David Ropeik has written and talked extensively on how to communicate an accurate assessment of risk to people, helping them better understand why their instincts and fears and doubts might be doing them more harm than good.
Why we worry too much about some things, not enough about others, the danger that poses, and what we can do about it.
As scientifically as many risks have been studied, so have the cognitive processes of risk perception. Research has revealed that risk perception is a fascinating, complex, and ultimately subjective system influenced more by instinct and feeling than intellect and fact. As a result it produces perceptions that sometimes fly in the face of the evidence and lead to judgments and behaviors that may feel right, but actually create risks all by themselves.
This presentation will summarize how subjective risk perception works and why the Risk Perception Gap occurs, which is the first step toward minimizing the risks our risk MISperceptions can cause.
