Marijuana in the post!
Make Text Bigger
I have 3 flats, one with a bad Tenant awaiting eviction, S8 issued. I have intercepted a quantity of marijuana in the post, no name on the package, but I know it's for this Tenant.
Am I under an obligation to report this to the Police?
Neil Patterson
We have lots of readers stories about Marijuana, but it is usually growing it at the property.
I am guessing as you have now taken possession you should report it so you don't get embroiled in an illegal activity, but as the package had no name on it I am not sure if it proves anything.

Dont bother, the police arent interested unless there is photographic evidence of the selling of a class drugs
I agree the police do not have the time or resources to investigate drug abuse, they are too busy pursuing technical traffic infringements.
andy adewale
I would just return it to sender if there is one written on the envelope. Otherwise, simply pour it down the drain or something to destroy it. You'll save yourself a lot of aggro that way.
As Jamie Moodie rightly said, there is no proof the your tenant is responsible for this. Without solid incriminating evidence, the police won't do much about it. And even if there is evidence linking him to it, the police are unlikely to do much unless it is of sufficient quantity to suggest "dealing and with intent to supply".
Steven Burman
Peter, you should report this to the Police and hand over what you have found. Taken in isolation there may well be insufficient evidence but the police may well have existing evidence or knowledge of what is going on. Unlike others on this forum I would not expect the police to be in a position to take action without evidence. How will they obtain this evidence if you do not provide them with it! At the very least you have a moral duty to report the matter.
PeterandJane Swinburne
Hi all and thanks for all the advice. I have flushed it down the toilet but advised the Tenant that I will hand it over as evidence if she doesn't get out and leave the property by the end of the month. She is on a Section 8 notice and I want to keep up the pressure. Bad Tenants really are depressing!!
how did you intercept it?
Could you be doing something illegal by interfering with mail?
Rob Crawford
Hi Peter, at present "you" are in possession of illegal drugs. If I were you I would dispose of it asap. Your former tenant may at this time be stitching you up by reporting you to the Police! Even if you took it to the Police, with all innocence, they could still charge you for possession, at the very least you will undergo vigorous cross examination.
don't tell the Police anything as if they are imprisoned for what else they have in their flat (what you've seen is only the tip of the iceburg) then you will have hells own chance of evicting them
It's only illegal if you open mail 'without reasonable excuse' or if you 'intend to act to another's detriment'
so the drugs would get her into trouble and you could also be prosecuted
also if you say anything to her would she not have a good counterclaim
it makes you an accessory

In many countries around the world, human rights are severely lacking. While we Kiwis can do better in some areas, we should be proud of the freedoms and protections we have as a liberal democracy. The types of systematic discrimination that exist in some parts of the world, where being gay is punished by death or where women are legally allowed to be beaten, for example, are considered abhorrent by society and are proscribed by our laws. Similarly, we cannot discriminate based on where someone was born (even if it was right here in Aotearoa), the colour of their skin, their religious beliefs, or any other of 12 categories.
No nation has a perfect human rights record but some are further from ideal than others. Our shortcomings are put into sharp perspective when we consider some countries still have a thriving slave market, others don't allow dissent and there are still countries that have discriminatory laws based on gender, religion, or sexual orientation. This sort of perspective is lost on many modern activist groups and even some of our political parties. The Green Party, for example, told us we "cannot support Australia on UN Human Rights Council" yet said nothing of the elections of Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Burundi, or others to the esteemed Council.
The inability to distinguish between degrees of inequality or injustice is brought sharply into focus when it comes to Israel. Just like the United Nations, there are a plethora of activist NGOs that have lost perspective and any semblance of balance through unfairly criticising and attacking the only Jewish state. Often the allegations and criticism is couched in the language of "human rights" doublespeak. However, one group is being exposed. Democratic governments are publicly acknowledging that the BDS movement, in particular, is incongruent with our liberal notion of human rights.
Proponents of BDS seek to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel. They often compare it to the boycotts against South Africa that helped bring about an end to Apartheid. There would be far less controversy if Israel was an Apartheid State; but it's not. Nevertheless, BDS-ers state their demands threefold: an end to the occupation, "right of return" for Palestinians, and equality for Arabs in Israel.
These causes make for good placards but actually undermine peace. Much has been written on the "occupation", the "right of return", and how Arabs are, in fact, currently equal citizens in Israel – Arabs are represented in parliament, and participate in all aspects of Israeli life. This is not to dismiss the socio-economic gap between the 20% Arab population and the Jewish population of Israel (just like there are socio-economic gaps between Māori/Pacific Islanders and European Kiwis). It would seem preposterous to suggest a boycott of New Zealand because we have inequality in society. Similarly, it is nonsensical to suggest the same for Israel, especially when policies are in place to address the issue, including a recent ₪15b (NZD$5.8b) investment to narrow the gap.
A much stronger case of institutional injustice could be brought against those countries that actively discriminate against Palestinians and refuse them citizenship. BDS-ers are not interested in these countries. Neither are the "social justice warriors" too concerned with the Turkish occupation of Cyprus, the Chinese occupation of Tibet, or India's occupation of Kashmir, for example, or those countries that lack even basic human rights. Most turn blind eyes to crimes committed by countries other than Israel and call foul when this is pointed out, saying "we must start somewhere" and "that doesn't absolve Israel".
We do, indeed, need start somewhere and Israel, like any other country, does have work to do. However, boycotting a country, divesting funds from companies, and sanctioning a nation are extreme measures that should surely be reserved for the most extreme transgressions. Without any gradation of human rights we might as well equate the records of North Korea with North America. We have measures for freedom and democracy and Israel ranks higher than most so why should it be first and only on the list of targets? Furthermore, the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians cannot be simply reduced to "oppressed, good Palestinians" and "oppressive, bad Israelis". That leads to dehumanising both Palestinians and Israelis. Yet a blind eye is also turned by BDS-ers to the responsibility of the Palestinian leadership in any peace process. It is as if their seeing-eye is sharply focussed on Israel. Once more, the Jews are blamed for everything.
The singular focus on the only Jewish state and the disproportionate and extreme measures taken against Israel, an oasis of freedom in the Middle East, can only be explained by some form of anti-Semitism. Perhaps some of those advocating for BDS are not bigots but have simply been duped by the more extreme BDS-ers' use of the human rights or social justice parlance. Indeed, the senior proponents of BDS are committed to denying the Jewish people self-determination while arguing vociferously for Palestinian self-determination. Regardless of how they try to dress it up, that is anti-Semitism.
National Socialist Movement flyer from 1962.
Sadly, though, boycotting Jews is not new. One week after taking power, Hitler ordered a boycott of any business owned by a Jew; laws were soon implemented that discriminated against Jews. The Arab League similarly established a formal boycott of Israeli goods and services upon the establishment of Israel in 1948, and it is still in force today though it is largely symbolic.
The modern BDS campaign is also largely symbolic. However, symbolism is important; symbolically singling out Israel for disproportionate measures that are born from a desire to see an end to Jewish self-determination does little to foster peace in the region. Symbolism in action can also hurt those it claims to help; when Israeli businesses are providing decent employment for Palestinians, boycotting them does little for the Palestinian people. The discriminatory and harmful nature of BDS has not escaped the judiciary or parliaments of other democratic countries.
Canadian ministers passed a motion condemning BDS by a margin of 229-51; conservatives and liberals alike expressing support for such a denouncement. Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion said "The world will win nothing for boycotting Israel … the BDS movement is harmful and ineffective". The motion says the BDS movement "promotes the demonization and delegitimization of the State of Israel" – two defined aspects of the new anti-Semitism.
The United Kingdom has decided to prevent public institutions from boycotting Israel on threat of "severe penalties". Senior government sources said they were cracking down on town-hall boycotts because they "undermined good community relations, poisoned and polarised debate and fuelled anti-Semitism". Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party has opposed the decision despite BDS undermining Labour's long-established foreign policy positions.
Here in New Zealand there are a handful of extremists who protest outside the Warehouse because it stocks SodaStream, gather for more general anti-Israel protests, and attempt to raise misleading billboards. Activists have also physically targeted the NZ SuperFund offices and duped at least one of our leaders into signing pledges. Those MPs who signed the pledge knowing what it stood for were predominantly from the Green Party and Internet-Mana. Internet-Mana ran a campaign in which their only foreign policy platform was to support BDS. However, the Green Party has a more sophisticated "Global Affairs Policy" that purports to centre around human rights, peace, justice, and tolerance. However, it seems they largely tolerate countries with the worst records and only seek "justice" against Jews.
If only there was more perspective and less anti-Semitism (at least in effect, if not intent) from some of our leaders. If only our other elected representatives or Human Rights champions could identify BDS for the damaging and discriminating faction it is and speak out like their counterparts in other progressive countries. Hopefully there will be those strong enough to condemn the hateful and racist BDS movement while it is still relatively small and not let it fester in New Zealand to spoil our human rights record.

INVESTIGATING THE ANTIMICROBIAL AND COAGULATION PROPERTIES OF Chrysophyllum albidum SEEDS
by Ubong Idiok, Nkeiruka Enyinnaya Nwaiwu.
Abstract: In the present study, plant based coagulant namely the seed of the Chrysophyllum albidum was investigated for its coagulation and antimicrobial efficacy. The coagulation study was conducted on a turbid surface water sample obtained at the Ezu River in Anambra state, Nigeria. The highest coag-flocculation activity was recorded at dosage of 0.4g/400mL, pH of 3, coagulation rate constant K = 7.4733x10-4m3/kg.s, and coagulation period ? = 2.29 secs. The observed turbidity removal efficiency of over 75% proved that the natural coagulant improved the quality of the water sample. On disinfection, the results indicated that the C. albidum seed extracts showed varying degrees of growth inhibitions on both Gram positive and Gram negative organisms. The antimicrobial activity observed ranged from 0 to 10 mm at different concentrations. The study shows that the C. albidum seed extracts is therefore a potential bio-coagulant and disinfectant that requires further studies and development.
Keywords: Coagulation; Antimicrobial activity; C albidum,.
Synthesis and Application of Coagulant Derived from Durio Zibethinus (DSS) for Emerging Contaminants (EC) Removal from Landfill Leachate
by Mohamad Anuar Kamaruddin, Mohd Suffian Yusoff, Emmanuel Madu Ijanu, Mohd Hafiidz Jaafar, Rasyidah Alrozi, Khairunnisa Fakhriah Mohd Omar
Abstract: In the modern era of advanced treatment of wastewater, the application of coagulant based aluminum (AI) like poly-aluminum chloride (PACl) in treatment often results in potentially toxic Al residuals being discharged into the aquatic environment. However, it is still prominently used because of easy to obtain and favorable to the treatment process. As alternatives, starch-based coagulants have been synthesized from various precursors that contain high starch yield. In this work, Durio Zibethinus starch (DSS) was synthesized from discarded fruits. And studied for its potential as a natural coagulant and coagulant aid in the presence of PACl to remove chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity, color, iron, manganese, and zinc by using coagulation and flocculation process. Leachate sample was sampled from Larut Matang dumping site, Perak, Malaysia. Optimum pH for DSS was determined by studying its surface charge through Zeta Potential. The highest zeta potential (-33.2mV) at pH 9 was chosen. Results showed that at the optimum condition, 7.2 g/L PACl at pH 6 removed 27% COD, 55% turbidity and 86% color. For removal of iron, manganese and zinc, the optimum condition of PACl was accounted at 7.2 g/L at pH7.5 with the removal of 99 %, 3 l% and 28 % respectively. For DSS as a coagulant, the optimum dosage was 360 g/L at pH 9. The highest removal of COD, turbidity, color, iron, manganese and zinc using DSS was 9 %, 22 %, 59 %, 70 %, 60 % and 32 % respectively. The addition of DSS as a coagulant aid improved the removal rate of color, turbidity and zinc. lt gives l3% COD, 93 % turbidity, 96 % color, 86 % iron and 96 % zinc removal. However, the addition of DSS as a coagulant aid increased the concentration of manganese by 15 %. lt was assumed that PACl was more superior than DSS for the removal of turbidity, color, COD and iron removal. In conclusion, DSS has the potential to be a coagulant aid in coagulation and flocculation based on their removal efficiency values.

Characteristics and risk analysis of debris flow movement in strong earthquake area-taking Sichuan earthquake stricken area as an example
by Xinming Cao, Xindong Ding
Abstract: It is very likely that debris flow will break out in the strong earthquake area under the stimulation of the large-scale rainfall, and its risk needs to be analysed. This study analysed the debris flow in a single gully in Wenchuan, introduced the natural environment, geological conditions, and travel conditions and movement characteristics of debris flow in Wenchuan, and then analysed the risk of debris flow using two methods. It was found from the results of risk calculation based on evaluation factors that the risk of the study area was 0.76, which was high. It was found from the results of risk calculation based on intensity that the debris flow in the study area had XL level risk, which needed long-term control and monitoring. The research results verify the high risk of debris flow in strong earthquake area and provide some theoretical bases for debris flow control in that area.

ASSESSMENT OF THE WATER QUALITY OF RAINFALL COLLECTED FROM STATE UNIVERSITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO IN THE MARACAN
by Gabrielle Silva, Isabella Santos, Rayssa Jacob, Roberta Souza, Lívia Ganem, Daniele Bila, Sergio Corrêa, Alfredo Ohnuma Jr.
Abstract: The composition of rainwater is influenced by natural and anthropogenic sources. Here we evaluate the water after passage through a rainwater capture system (SAP) installed in the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), Rio de Janeiro. In the period from November 2016 to April 2017, at points defined as first-flush 1, first -flush 2 and dead water. The fundamental parameters were pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids and turbidity by turbidimeter and multiparameter probe. It is verified that the quality of the rainwater is changed after passing through the catchment system, the results of the physical-chemical analysis indicated nonconformity with the Municipal Law of Niter
Keywords: Water quality; rainwater harvesting; first flush.
Removal of Inorganic Contaminant Phosphate from Aqueous Solutions by Bimetallic Ficus-ZVFe/Cu Nanoparticles
by Hossam Mohammed Abdel-Aziz, Rabie Saad Farag, Soha Ali Abdel-Gawad
Abstract: Green chemistry approach has become eco-friendliest and an effective technique using Ficus Benjamina for preparing bimetallic nano-scale zero valent Fe/Cu particles and removal phosphates from the aqueous solutions. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) used for characterization. The removal adequacy of phosphates (5 mg L-1) reached to 73 % under the condition of 0.3 g L-1, 30 min, and pH 4. The adsorption results are more appropriate by the Langmuir model [R2 = 0.998], with qmax = 17.42 mg g -1. Results of adsorption kinetics indicate that, phosphates uptake on Ficus-nZVFeCu is following the pseudo-second order model. Overall, Benjamina nZVFe/Cu is a committed green substance to remove phosphates. Operating parameters effect was investigated using SPSS-Linear regression analysis, and found that, more than 97 % of the variables have an effect on the removal process.

Performance Evaluation of Natural Coagulant for Removal of Turbidity and Optimization of Coagulation Process
by MADHUKAR JADHAV
Abstract: The experiments were performed using batch coagulation-flocculation tests in order to determine the effect of varying pH, settling time and coagulant dose of Eugenia Jambolana (Jambhul) seed powder on initial turbidity of 30 NTU and 95 NTU respectively. In the batch test, the optimum turbidity removal was observed at a dose of 8 mg/L and 20 mg/L for 30 NTU and 95 NTU turbidity respectively. In the case of varying pH, optimum turbidity removal was observed at pH 8.5 for both turbidity ranges. It is also observed that, as the settling time increases, the residual turbidity decreases for both the turbidity ranges for Eugenia Jambolana (Jambhul) seed powder. The optimization study was significant. The ANOVA analysis performed assures the reliability of models indicating the significance of results and actual turbidity removal was nearly the same as predicted turbidity removal.

Sustainability Development in Geotechnical Conceptual Design
by N.U.R. IRFAH MOHD PAUZI, Zakaria Che Muda, Mohd Shahril Mat Radhi
Abstract: The sustainability development in geotechnical conceptual design is to be developed for future generation. A tool box which consist of materials selection for construction, cost factor, life cycle cost analysis, construction method, technical, time, safety and public health, societal, culture, legal, environmental control are developed for sustainability in geotechnical area. This concept is critical when planning for the sustainability in the geotechnical conceptual design. The geotechnical work is the first stage in construction that will determine the success of the project in preserving the environment. Geotechnical for the earthwork design will decide the appropriate platform levels and profiles for the construction site which to reduce the environmental impact. In conclusion, the sustainability of the geotechnical engineering must take into account the eco-centric, techno-centric and socio-centric aspect of its development. The development in construction usually consider the technology but impacting the environmental and societal requirement. For the future generation benefit, the present resources should be preserved from depleting to maintain the sustainability needs of the later generations.
Keywords: Sustainability development; environmental control; societal impact; geotechnical conceptual design.

Nidia Slater
Nidia Sardis
Sylvania, OH, USA, Earth (Core Reality); Late 21st century
Nidia Sardis is a Veil hunter, which means she is specially equipped to hunt ghost orphans. She is a master swordswoman, and is trained in a number of fighting techniques. Her primary weapon is a special type of sword called a living-blade.
When Nidia was a child, she would tell people her bedroom was haunted. It wasn't actually, but she wished it had been. The "ghosts" she spoke to were simply a group of imaginary friends that aided her in her missions to hunt down the "real enemy" – a group of ghastly entities known as ghost orphans. Ghost orphans were lost spirits who had roamed the Earth for hundreds of years, and would hide inside of human bodies in order to avoid being hunted down and captured by the respective members of two groups of spiritual assassins.
Nidia's family belonged to one of these assasin groups. It was called The Veil, and from a young age she had been trained to hunt down ghost orphans using a powerful sword called a living-blade. This blade had the power to send the otherwise immortal lost souls into a heavenly afterlife. Nidia was barely in the first grade before her parents discovered she was a naturally gifted swordswoman, who had a peculiarly strong affection for her weapon. While other kids (even Veil kids) were playing outside or participating in sports and activities, Nidia was further honing her innate combat skills.
Despite being very charismatic and outgoing, she was mostly a loner – but that was due to her preference for having her living-blade in hand at all times. Afte rall, most parents (even Veil parents) weren't exactly into the idea of setting up play dates with a little girl who was obsessed with practicing advanced sword techniques.
And so she would create her own play dates with her imaginary ghost friends, who would continually show their fondness for her by relaying "insider information" about their "evil cousins", the ghost orphans. By the time she was 12 years old, however, she was no longer dealing with imaginary adversaries; she was battling the actual, paraphysical entities. Of course, the Veil would never permit a child her age to go out on hunts. She would sneak out at night, and spy on people she suspected of being ghost orphans; then use her living-blade to slay anyone she confirmed to be possessed.
It wasn't until she was 18 that her activities were discovered by the expert Veil hunter Valerie Philadelphia – and that's only because Nidia happily told her about it. She looked up to Valerie, and had hoped to impress her with full detailed accounts of her exploits. And while at first the experienced hunter was indeed angry and upset that the girl had put herself in danger, she could not help but be blown away by the sheer number of ghost orphans Nidia had caught – more than three dozen!
Nidia was chastised by her elders, but ultimately praised for her skill and tenacity. Then, like all Veil children, she was enrolled into Platinum City University, where she would receive a general education – and continue her training as a hunter. As an incoming freshman, she had already racked up more ghost orphan kills than all of her classmates, and even some of her young instructors. Her reputation as a proficient hunter preceded her, but so did her reputation for "talking to herself," which was something she would continue to do for the rest of her life.
But even with her quirks and superior skill, she was no longer an outcast. Both her Veil classmates and the ordinary PCU students found her fascinating and fun to be around. Additionally, she was finally able to practice blade techniques with her peers, and thus, her skills began to grow even more. And of course, she continued to sneak out in the middle of the night to track down and slay ghost orphans on her own time.
It was during an event that would come to be known as the Seven Week Walk when Nidia encountered her first sonic wraith. At the time, it had been four weeks since thousands of ghost-orphan-possessed people had gathered at Platinum City University and began marching around the Central Administration Complex. For decades, the Veil had secretly operated a training facility and base out of the secluded Deep Wing of PCU, while several Veil elders – most notably legendary hunter Disa Philadelphia – had taken faculty positions with the school. Then, in the first week of a fall semester, a young student named Derek Loman had walked into a classroom, and prophesied that after seven weeks of ghost orphans marching around the college, the walls of PCU would fall, and the members of the Veil would fall with them.
It had been 4 weeks since the marching started, and Nidia, along with the other Veil students, had been instructed not to confront any of the marchers, as the elder hunters mostly disagreed with how exactly to deal with the situation. Nidia fell into the camp of those who wanted to attack the marchers and slay as many ghost orphans as possible, however, she complied with the mandates and stayed away from the marchers.
Instead, she focused more on her night excursions. But even that was beginning to become a source of frustration, as many of her would-be targets were participating in the march. She had made up her mind to go hunting in The Gap – an underground Platinum City settlement, where ghost orphans mostly lived without interference from the hunters – however, as she was on her way one night, she found herself in a back alley, face to face with a giant purple tank. And to her surprise – and delight – a ghost orphan just happened to be driving it.
But not just any ghost orphan – it was Troy Brothers, who just happened to be possessed by a special breed of ghost orphan: a sonic wraith. Nidia smiled with delirious joy, excitedly told her imaginary friends to get ready for some fun, brandished her living-blade, and attacked!
Troy's enhanced ability to use astral projection made him more dangerous than your average ghost orphan – quicker, stronger and much more difficult to pin down. Their battle atop the tank was intense, but after a few moments, Nidia gained the upper hand. Troy was forced to go on the defensive, and after a few more close calls, he got free, jumped down into the tank and attempted to drive away. But Nidia was right back on him. She sliced a hole in the side of the tank, and attempted to slay him right then and there, but the orphan was able to unleash a sonic-blast of ghostly energy, sending her flying off the tank and against the wall of a building. He then trained the tank's cannon on the young huntress and fired. She dodged the blast, then weaved in toward the vehicle, and used her living blade to slice its tracks, disabling its mobility.
Troy was forced to abandon the tank. But he still had a machine gun. The two of them battled ferociously for the next several minutes, until finally, Troy was out of ammo. He used his sonic ghost energy to keep Nidia at bay for a while longer, but eventually, the young huntress had him cornered and dead to rights. Before she could land the final blow, however, two more ghost orphans showed up: Troy's cousin, Bernadette Brothers, and the most dangerous ghost orphan of them all, Virginia Ice. They immediately went after Nidia, who was forced to retreat, and barely got out of the alley with her life.
She finally made it back to her dorm room sometime around 4 in the morning. She was exhausted, tired, dirty and bloody. But she was also exhilarated by the experience! She texted back and forth with her idol, Valerie, for the next few minutes, telling her all about what had happened, then finally slid into her bed and fell asleep.

first-time registrants in the US only.
" I was looking for a very lightweight but high quality fabric in cropped leggings that were not too long, in a nice shade of brown. These are exactly what I wanted! Sure, you can find leggings for less but this is pima cotton, as soft as the jammies you've washed a hundred times. The waistband is very comfortable, neither too narrow or wide, no bunching or rolling. I'm only sorry that I didn't get some navy ones as well before they sold out. PLEASE bring these back next year! "
" I have many pairs of long and cropped versions of tights/leggings and will get more today. light on hot days and great for protecting legs in cold air-conditioned buildings. love them with long tunics or dresses. so glad a reviewer says to hand wash. mine have been washed hundreds of times and still maintain shape. also agree more colors!! I am 5'4, 98 pounds and the x-smalls are perfect. About the only item I don't need to tailor smaller. Most of my clothes do get altered, but I always start with P.C. "
Love them. Best lightweight leggings ever!
" Light as a feather but great all year round because they are the perfect leggings under long dresses. I am a large but got XL and not disappointed because the larger size, while roomy, adjusts to your body and does not look larger, does not hang or droop. Perfect in every way and will continue to buy these in coming years. Hope they never get discontinued. (Be aware: they are delicate. I hand-wash them to make sure they stay in shape and don't fray.) "
" Love these leggings! Lightweight for spring and summer in the northwest. Hard to find Capri length that are not exercise/sport leggings which feel heavy and tight in warmer weather under dresses and tunics. I'm 5'6" 130 Lbs., wear XS (fit me a little better than small), and they hit me longer than midcalf. If I want them a little shorter I can adjust the "stretch". Out of several pairs, I did have one that popped a hole in the seat which disappointed me because of the price. But, the others have been fine and I've worn them a lot. So happy to see navy this spring because I needed that for a short dress I bought from Peruvian Connection last year. I'm wearing the outfit now, and the navy works so much better than the black I had to use last year. I'm ordering a couple more pairs. Wish there were even more colors. "
" It is almost impossible to find leggings in a nice rich brown like this. So I was so disappointed when I found that they barely reached over my knees! They are VERY short. I am only 5'9. In the photo in the catalog, they go to the model's mid calf, so she must be only 5' tall. UNFAIR!!!! We should be warned that the models are all petite. "
" These leggings are comfortable and fit well but they are really like tights with the feet cut off. I wore them once and noticed there is a hole in the fabric. Will return them and not purchase the leggings again. I know great leggings and these are not them. Disappointed. "
" I have 8 pair of these - 5 from past seasons. They are well made, wonderful lightweight and soft. Waistband comfortable, cropped length fantastic for doing all kinds of things. I live in Maine where it's almost always on the cool side so I wear these year-round under all my dresses/skirts. I have regularly received comments about "where did you get those/that color?" The prior olive and beige/melange are sophisticated colors that go with a lot and do not exist anywhere else - sure wish those would come back along with some others maybe - navy or blue shade, and grey. The standby black and mahogany are fine, but more common. For the petites out there - I am 5'1", 117lb w/athletic build - the small fits perfectly. The shorter length makes it work for all. Thank you PC - keep them coming! "

Nokia Phone Division to be Renamed \'Microsoft Mobile\' Upon Completion of Microsoft Acquisition
By Akash KJ
April 21, 2014 09:58 BST
Nokia Oyj will be soon renamed as Microsoft Mobile Oy, according to a leaked letter, which was send to the company's supplier base in Finland. The news comes as Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia Devices and Services is expected to close during the end of April.
In the letter, Nokia informed its sellers in Finland that the deal with Microsoft was going to close soon, according to WMPowerUser. Previously, both Microsoft and Nokia had confirmed in March that the deal would close by the end of April 2014.
"Please note that upon the close of the transaction between Microsoft and Nokia, the name of Nokia Corporation/Nokia Oyj will change to Microsoft Mobile Oy. Microsoft Mobile Oy is the legal entity name that should be used for VAT IDs and for the issuance of invoices," the company reportedly said in the leaked letter.
For the uninitiated, Oyj is a Finnish abbreviation for a "public stock company" while the Oy is a term for a "corporation".
Back in September 2013, when Microsoft announced its plans to acquire Nokia's handset division and license some patents, the company said it expected the $7.2 billion deal to be complete by the first quarter of this year.
However, owing to anti trust reviews of the deal in Asia, Microsoft announced last month that the delay would see the deal's closure pushed to April.
While very few things about Nokia will change after the renaming, it is worth noting that the brand has a strong reputation and goodwill in developing countries like India and regions like Latin America. By being re-branded as Microsoft Mobile, there's a chance that Microsoft could loose out on these critical, intangible assets.

Q: How can I do indexing XML files stored on other server in solr4 I have all my XML files stored on to the other server and I have installed and configure the SOLR on different server. How can I index those XML files into the SOLR. I have checked nutch but it's main purpose is to crawl the html pages and index them. I don't need to crawl. I have All those files on specific path on other server. I just need to do indexing those XML files in SOLR. I have installed and configure SOLR4.
If anyone have did some thing like this please let me know how to do that.
Thank you

A: Why not mount the drive from your Solr server, and do something like:
java -jar post.jar "Z:\home\data\delivery\textarticles.xml"
post.jar is in the exampledocs folder. You might also use it as an example application and build your own application to post those xml files from the other server

A: Take a look at the DataImportHandler. I think you should be able to access a network file if it has the proper permissions set up.

A: Based on your comment to Shane Alexander's answer, you will need to use the URLDataSource option of the DataImportHandler to retrive the file via a Url. Additionally, you will need to incorporate the patch from SOLR-1490 to allow for authentication support.
