18th Constitutional Amendment has twelve objectives
TC – by Basil Rajapaksa
(Following is an edited text of the speech made by Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa, during the debate in Parliament on September 8, on the 18th Amendment to the Constitution)
The 18th Constitutional Amendment has 12 objectives, the first of which is the removal of fetters against the people's sovereignty.
The legislative power of the people is exercised by the Parliament which is made up of elected representatives. In a referendum, the people exercise their supreme sovereignty by casting their vote. The executive power vested with the people including defence of the country is exercised through a President elected by the voters themselves.
The Judicial power of the people is exercised through the judiciary, tribunals or other institutes created and recognized by the Constitution or created by law. Therefore, it is our responsibility as people's representatives to remove any such fetters against the people's executive power or sovereignty. Removal of Sections 31 (2) and 92
(1) which pose restrictions on the sovereignty, helps consolidate sovereignty. The two-term ceiling on the executive Presidency is an affront to the people and their sovereignty.
Secondly, we are giving effect to the pledge made in the Mahinda Chintana – Vision for the future, that the President's accountability to Parliament would be further strengthened. The President is generally accountable to Parliament and the 18th Amendment makes his attendance in Parliament compulsory.
The other objective is to solve the riddle of the 17th Amendment. It was deeply flawed. The DEW Gunasekera Committee appointed to go into it found most of its provisions not practicable. The Constitutional Council could not be appointed.
The UNP too had its fair share of difficulties in implementing the 17th Amendment. At least, the Elections Commission could not get off the ground.
The Constitutional Council has now been transformed into a Parliamentary Council conferring authority on Parliament. The present Amendment provides for the appointment of five members by the President as nominated by the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition.
Our fifth objective aims at putting an end to fetters against people's sovereignty. Unlike its predecessor, the 18th Amendment under Section 41 (6) requires observations to be forwarded within a week failing which the President would act.
The sixth objective empowers all members of Parliament to make nominations which is a novel feature which democratises the process of nomination.
The seventh objective envisages a more efficient public service meant to accelerate national development and provide a better service to the public as provided for in the Mahinda Chintana – vision for the future.
There is an allegation that under Section 55 of the 18th Amendment we have dispersed with the freedom the public service enjoyed itself in regard to various matters.
Section 55 (1) in the Amendment however, stipulates, "the Cabinet of Ministers should provide for all policy matters relating to appointments, promotions, transfers, disciplinary control and dismissal of all public officers."
The 18th Amendment has conferred on the Cabinet of Ministers all powers relating to appointment, promotion, transfer or disciplinary control of all Heads of Departments. The 17th Amendment stated, "The Cabinet of Ministers shall give effect to such powers only after calling for the observations of the Commission."
In this new amendment we have not interfered with powers devolved upon the Provincial Councils. We have only maintained the status quo. Section 5 clearly states: In regard to the exercise of its powers the Commissions shall be accountable and answerable to Parliament and shall submit to Parliament a report of its performance during each calendar year. Consequently the Parliament has been further empowered.
The functions of the Commission have been explained in terms of Section 55 (3) of the 18th Amendment which states, "subject to the provisions of the Constitution, appointments, promotions, transfers and disciplinary control of public officers shall be berthed with the Public Service Commission.
Despite the Constitutional requirement in 57 (1), the Commission failed to appoint sub-committees. The Commission was adequately empowered to delegate its power to Heads of Departments or any other officers. This never did materialize. Having observed all these lapses and shortfalls we have incorporated into the new Amendment the special provision, "A specially stated by the Cabinet of Ministers…" so that the Commission has no alternative but to strictly comply with the Cabinet directives.
We have made the police, a true service to the people, having shed its military outlook. We made the police much closer to the people – a peoplized police.
The tenth objective deals with media freedom. This Commission had its control only over Rupavahini and SLBC. The ITN did not come under its purview. The Independent Election Commission has been given adequate powers to treat all media institutions equally since we firmly subscribe to the principle of equality before law.
We have made one more amendment! These Commissions including the Public Service Commission did not come under the financial control of Parliament.
Recruitments were made contrary to the accepted rules and regulations and procedures. The staff of all these Commissions is now deemed to be public officers – subject to Government regulations.
The President needs the strength and support of all to 'deliver the goods' during his second term as pledged. A stable Government is indispensable.

INDYCAR releases 2017 testing regulations
By dizbizroundupSep 8, 2016, 4:40 PM EDT
Photo: IndyCar
One of the big talking points in the paddock during the 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series season has been how much in-season testing there's been. In 2017, there will be less.
Here's an outline from INDYCAR of what the 2017 testing regulations will look like:
INDYCAR announced today testing regulations for the 2017 Verizon IndyCar Series season highlighted by four open tests during the season and an overall reduction in the amount of in-season testing.
INDYCAR will conduct the following open tests next year: Feb. 10-11 at Phoenix International Raceway; March 21 at Barber Motorsports Park; May 2 at Gateway Motorsports Park and Sept. 14 at Sonoma Raceway – the same week as the season finale in 2017.
"We collaborated with all of our teams on the 2017 testing regulations with the goal of minimizing the amount of in-season testing," said Jay Frye, INDYCAR president of competition and operations. "The majority of testing will take place at a series of open tests, which have been strategically routed to coincide with our race schedule. As we finalized our regulations, the focus was on making our test schedule more efficient and minimizing the overall demands on the crews during the year. We're confident that this is a positive step forward for the Verizon IndyCar Series."
The in-season testing window runs from April 11-Sept. 17, 2017, with teams permitted one test day – in addition to open tests – within that time frame. The off-season testing window for the 2017 Verizon IndyCar Series season begins Oct. 3, 2016, with teams permitted three test days from the start of the testing window until April 6, 2017 – which allows teams to utilize the break between the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg (March 12) and the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach (April 9).
Teams may earn additional test days by running a rookie driver (up to four days) for the season, a current Indy Lights presented by Cooper Tires driver (one day) or operating an Indy Lights team under the same ownership as the Verizon IndyCar Series team (one day). New teams entering the Verizon IndyCar Series would be allowed up to four additional test days.
Tire testing comes at the request of Firestone, the official tire supplier to the Verizon IndyCar Series. Any tire test is limited to two days, either in-season or off-season, with no more than two teams participating. All teams are permitted to have one car conduct team testing during an in-season tire test. Engine testing for Chevrolet and Honda is limited to two days for each manufacturer in the off-season window.

India vs South Africa 4th T20I Match Prediction
Sanjay Sanapoori
Modified Jun 19, 2022 1:14 AM IST
Get to Know Who will win the 4th T20 Match between IND vs SA Prediction and toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, and Dream11 Prediction.
Ind vs SA Prediction: A win at Vizag helps India stay alive in the series. They finally showed up with both bat and ball and outplayed South Africa in both aspects to find their first win in this series. Harshal Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal found their rhythm with the ball, and that should help make India's bowling attack look a little better, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar already doing well.
For South Africa, fielding was a major issue in the first game. They did well to pull India back after India's powerplay onslaught. Towards the end though, South Africa failed to hold on to their catches, allowing India to crawl back into the game. With the bat too, South Africa struggled to tackle the likes of Chahal, which affected their chase.
Match: India vs South Africa
Time: 7:00 PM IST
Venue: Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Rajkot
There has been raining surrounding the match, but the forecast for the game is clear. There is very little chance of rain and the India vs South Africa game should be played without any interruptions.
The Rajkot surface is likely to be fresh and flat, leading to some easy runs. With big boundaries though, spinners may have some chances of being involved in the game. Batting second will be a better option.
India vs South Africa Predicted Playing XI
India Playing XI
Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Deepak Hooda/Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (capt, wk), Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal
See Also: New Zealand Missing Neil Wagner's Aggressiveness, Toughness (cricketwinner.com)
South Africa Playing XI
Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma (capt), Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Dwaine Pretorius, Wayne Parnell, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi/Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi
Both sides are expected to remain unchanged, unless De Kock is fit to play.
Chahal struggled to find his touch in the first two games but finally made an impact in the third. With large boundaries in Rajkot, Chahal's flight will be a huge weapon. If he manages to tempt batters, he will be a huge threat and a contender for the most wickets in the match.
South Africa will be desperate for some more contributions from their captain. Opening the batting, Temba Bavuma hasn't done too much this series. He is still not the most confident T20I batter and will have to do a lot to prove that he belongs in the shorter format.
IND vs SA Prediction
Although India won the previous game, consistency remains a question. South Africa has been the more consistent side, and their balance should give them the edge.
Match Prediction: South Africa will win the match.

Consumers | Not another dinosaur.
In communications, great 'insights' are coveted. To be in touch with our consumers and find out how they spend their time, what they hope, what they fear, what they are motivated by, how they choose, how they live. These 'insights' help us develop communications that will engage people and trigger some sort of response or connection.
A lot has been written about insights – how to get them and how to crystalise them. But I think nothing has been written on capturing insights in an economy and landscape and lifestyle that has remarkably changed. So, although the pace of the world and the pace of change today is spinning faster than previously, I think the way we capture our insights hasn't adapted.
We still spend time searching for the 'golden egg' when this concept is outdated in todays economy.
Today there are many inspired people with 'hack / prototype' mentality and ways of doing things. People who have a belief and vision to change the world. They don't wait for an 'insight' – they work on a belief. So it follows, that our strategic insights should come from this starting point. I put forward that insights should be real, instinctive, based on a belief on where the world is headed, and based on a reservoir of built-up research – i.e not research commissioned specifically to capture an insight.
This is 'radical' coming from a 'planner' because insights have been the area planning has been built around (Bernbach, Pollitt et al) but advertising as we know it is history. So whilst we're reinventing the advertising wheel, we should start by reinventing how we define and crystalise insights as well.

Your central heating system will run more efficiently if it is at the correct pressure. If the pressure is too low, you can top up the system by carefully follow the instructions in the manual. There will usually be a filling link or loop to do this. If the boiler pressure is too high, it may help if you bleed the radiators.
Your central heating system won't work at all if the pipes freeze. Therefore your priority must be to prevent this from happening. Frozen water in the pipes will prevent circulation, and you may even get a leak, which will cause water damage and will not do your boiler any good.
You can prevent frozen pipes by insulating them with an appropriate material and getting your heating engineer to add ant-freeze to your system.

There are several different ways to explore Punta Arenas and its dramatic seascape. One option is by kayak through one of the guided trips offered in a two-man tandem kayak. The other is to ride 4,500 feet up the local ski area on a chair lift and then to walk down with a professional guide. Since not much English is spoken, it's best to hire a guide for a three hour walking tour if you really want to explore Punta Arenas.
Cruise ships dock at Arturo Prat, less than a mile from downtown Punta Arenas.
The cruise port terminal is a 10-15 minute walk or a short taxi ride to the plaza in downtown Punta Arenas.
Early March is when the penguins typically start migrating so penguin viewing will not be at it's peak during your visit to Punta Arenas. There are several great museums in Punta Arenas including the Centro Cultural Braun-Menendez, which is an old mansion that offers a feel for how a wealthy trading family lived. The main attractions are the Mayorino Borgatello Salesian Museum, started by Italian missionaries and the Centro Cultural Braun-Menendez which is located in one of the city's most prosperous family mansions. Sara Braun was a Russian who married a wool baron from Porugal and her story has become quite s tourist draw in Punta Arenas.
Just nine blocks north of the Plaza, The Cemeterio Muncipal is the resting place for a good mix of cultures. This cemetery is practically an outdoor museum with extensively sculpted cypresses, ornate mausoleums, and crypts planted with pains and marigolds.
p>After leaving Punto Arenas, the ship will cruise through the Strait of Magellan which is often compared to the Inside Passage of Alaska. Between two stunning snow-capped mountains in Tiera del Fuego, Chile is the waterway called Canal Sarmiento . The color of the water seems to change color with the change in natural light. Once through the Canal, the ship will head towards the Amalia Glacier, which is 20-30 feet above the water's edge and continues to the bottom of the fjord. The Southern Patagonian Ice Field is the largest adjoining icefield, outside of Antarctica, in the southern hemisphere. The area covers 73 miles and descends from the Andes.
As the ship must travel slower to avoid hitting floating icebers, take the change to enjoy watching the playful dolphins as they leap out of the water. Perhaps more spectacular than the scenery through the Inside Passage in Alaska, the Chilean fjords have such narrow channels that one can practically touch the glaciers.


Hilary's post was a good one, very interesting. I don't think much about scents while reading a book, but since you mention it, some are probably more scent friendly than others! Will have to pay closer attention.
I write contemporary stories, so the scents are a little easier. I never thought about that aspect for historicals. Fascinating!
Hi Diane - Did you know that scent affects your ability to taste food? Just think about when you have a cold (like I do now). Everything tastes different.
Hi Karen - One historical had the heroine putting a hankie to her nose to block out unpleasant odors.
Hi Susan .. many thanks for linking across - I enjoyed the brief notes I made - but perhaps the fragrance of the scene is something that's not often set ... if it's a kitchen, then that's quite easy to do.
but back to the film .. I could smell the smoking tallow, the earthy hay, and the odours of the Inquisition personages .. I felt as though I was there back in the 1400s ..
Thanks for stopping by, Hilary, and for your informative posts.
I hadn't thought much about scents in literature until I dug deep into Dickens' works for a project I was working on. When he painted word pictures, especially about London cities, he often added scent as another layer to help readers imagine the setting.
I haven't read Dickens in ages. This post made me more aware of scent in literature.


"Well, you are 30 meters away, wearing a helmet. My eyes aren't what they used to be." He patted his hands together, causing excess dust to flutter about.
With a snarl, the warrior tore her helmet off and threw it to the ground with a clank. "Tonnie Russel!" She shouted across the arena to the applause of the crowd–they loved the drama.
"Russel… Russel… Did your dad come through here a few years ago?" Sly was genuinely curious, his sharp eyes taking in every detail.
"Of course he did! That's why I'm here… I've trained very hard and now it's payback time McCormick. Now you get yours!" Her gauntleted hand jabbed a finger toward him.
Sly bobbled his head back and forth, finishing her sentence, "…with a blunted wooden blade across his… armor-plated back. Just like you are wearing." His mimic of her voice caused the judge to laugh. Sly threw him a look that brought silence.
The blood drained from Tonnie's face and Sly knew she was ready. To prove his point, she drew her blade. Sly noticed her press a button on the handle, causing several small spines to poke out of the weapon's blade.
Tonnie gritted her teeth and loosed a wild scream before sprinting forward with her blade high in the air. With an inward nod, Sly walked forward to finish the fight.
The brash young woman brought her blade down with a powerful chop that Sly deflected to the side with ease, knocking off a couple of the spines. Her return slash was deflected upward with equal ease, knocking off the rest.
"Save it!" She lunged forward with a menacing jab. Sly took a quick step to his left and pirouetted, bumping her blade safely to the side and allowing her to continue forward carelessly. When she gathered herself and turned to face him, her cheek bumped into a stationary blade that was halted just before contact.
Her eyes widened in shock.
With a sigh, the bearded man waved her in with his free hand, his extended blade never moved.
Tonnie circled around him, his eyes followed, but his blade didn't. Completing the circle, she attacked from behind. Her sword cleaved the air where his head was, but swung freely with no impact.
A moment later she lay prone on the ground. Sly had tucked low under the attack, spinning and hooking her legs with his blade.
Leaving her sword on the ground, the young girl sprung forward, attempting to pounce on Sly. He spun, giving his blade a wide berth so that it could catch her hard in the ribs, toppling her to the ground.
Tonnie rose again, this time holding her ribs as she tried to fill her lungs.
Tonnie snatched at Sly's blade only to have the back of her hand smacked roughly with it. 'She doesn't learn fast, that's for sure.' The crowd chuckled in the background, amidst cries to 'finish 'er off!'.
"Two minutes!" Shouted the time-keeper.
"Shut up!" Her eyes reflected Sly's face with tears of frustration.
"You're a fool!" She lunged at him again. A partial step to the side sent Tonnie tripping over his extended foot. To the dirt she tumbled again, her armor sounding loudly as she rolled. Sly's sword slapped against her backside, to the delight of the onlookers.
"I don't need armor because I don't get hit. Also, it would mess up my fabulous hair," he said, striking a modeling pose. The crowd laughed on as the clownish antics continued.
He stood over her with an extended hand. She refused. He continued, "You also didn't notice that in your initial attacks, I broke the spines from your blade with two slices along the edge. Even if you had hit me, you wouldn't have poisoned me." The crowd took a turn at the allegation, dark murmurs breaking out.
He stood and extended his hand again.


As a family portrait photographer located in Leek, Staffordshire, I love to capture people's expressions naturally.
I'm a Staffordshire family photographer, near Stoke-on-trent, the West Midlands, my photography style is fun and relaxed. All family photography sessions are shot outdoors on location, unless a studio environment is requested.
Why outdoors? That's where I feel people are their most relaxed and the best studio background is nature! Of course, if you're looking for a white background then that is no problem too, as I have a mobile studio.
On one of my favourite family portrait sessions we walked through a woodland. The scene was saturated in amazing autumn colours, the children were happily throwing leaves, sometimes at the parents – they ran ducking for cover, it was great fun!!
This is how I enjoy working, producing portraits that show personality as well as real, honest expressions that define a person's character. With families there is a dynamic involving trust, support and love which form a very strong bond. There's nothing quite like it – it's this that I love to witness and capture in my family and portrait photography.
If my portrait photography style is appealing and you want to head outdoors then I'd love to hear from you. We can arrange a great location, choose any season you like and have some fun.
To book me for a portrait session I charge £30, plus mileage. Images from the session are uploaded to a secure online gallery, where you can view and make a purchase. There is a minimum purchase order of £65 excluding the booking fee and mileage expenses. Please contact me directly for up-to-date print and wall display product prices.
Yes, individual files are £30, 10 images cost £250 and all images in the gallery are £350. A purchase of 10 or more images will be supplied on a bespoke boxed USB.
How long are the portrait sessions?
When I'm booked for a regular portrait session I allow two hours' coverage. This is normally plenty of time to get a great set of images.

180g vinyl with download code. Cult Scottish miserabilists The Just Joans are delighted to be releasing their first new album in more than a decade, following the band's signing to Fika Recordings. Formed in Glasgow in 2005, The Just Joans have evolved from a shambling two-piece to an accomplished sextet that embraces rivalry and relationship in the vocals of siblings, David and Katie Pope. Once described as he missing link between The Magnetic Fields and The Proclaimers', the band have used self-awareness and self-deprecation to continuously explore themes of angst, heartbreak and detachment in their songs. From their 2006 debut album Last Tango in Motherwell through a series of successful EPs, to 2012's compilation Buckfast Bottles In The Rain, the acerbic wit in David Pope's observational lyrics have helped make the band a firm favourite of the indie-pop scene. Their rise has seen them play a plethora of international festivals, such as Wales Goes Pop, Indiefjords, NYC Popfest, and of course the Indietracks festival, of which they have been long-standing cult favourites since their first appearance in 2008. The band are excited to release You Might Be Smiling Now., a self-recorded and produced collection of new songs. The release offers more of the same cynicism, but from an older if not necessarily wiser perspective as evidenced on lead single No Longer Young Enough and You Make Me Physically Sick (Let's Start Having Children) is a jaundiced slice of toybox pop that crosses The Human League and Harold Steptoe. Complementing this shift in tone comes a more polished electronic sound on tracks A Matter of Time and Someone Else That You Like More Than Me while O' Caledonia sails along at a blistering pace like no Just Joans lament before it. Despite the band's obvious maturity, You Might Be Smiling Now... still manages to maintain all the emotional charm and whimsical melodies that led The List to view The Just Joans as lovable blend of sleepy acoustic guitars, Brian Wilson-esque harmonies and West Coast sarcasm.' Discussing the new album, singer-songwriter David Pope: "You Might Be Smiling Now... could be considered a loose concept album. The songs detail the confusion in my teenage years, the horror of my twenties and the terror of my encroaching middle age. The Just Joans are David Pope (vocals and guitar), Katie Pope (vocals), Chris Elkin (lead guitar), Fraser Ford (bass guitar), Doog Cameron (keyboards) and Jason Sweeney (drums).

President's FY 2016 Budget Request for NIST Seeks a Safer, More Secure and Smart Tech Future
The U.S. Department of Commerce today released details of the President's budget request for fiscal year 2016 for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The total discretionary request for NIST is $1.1 billion, $255.8 million above the FY 2015 enacted level. The funding request highlights NIST's expertise in areas of economic importance such as advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, disaster resilience and "smart cities."
"This budget request will support U.S. manufacturers both large and small, aid our communities in recovering from disasters, and improve the ways we connect to the world around us—from banking online to using technology to efficiently manage city resources," said Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and Acting NIST Director Willie May. "These funds will help NIST foster innovation that creates jobs and strengthens the U.S. economy."
The request includes $150 million in funding to support a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation that will accelerate development and adoption of cutting-edge manufacturing technologies for making new, globally competitive products. Six of these regional hubs have already been created to help strengthen the global competitiveness of existing U.S. manufacturers, spur new ventures and boost local and state economies.
The total FY 2016 budget request includes the following:
Scientific and Technical Research and Services (STRS), $755 million
The STRS request includes $79 million above FY 2015 enacted levels that will support NIST's laboratory programs and spur innovation in new technology areas with significant and growing importance to the economy. Programs with increased funding requests include:
Advanced Communications (+$9 million; $22 million program total)
Advanced Manufacturing (+$26.5 million**; $161 million program total)
Cybersecurity (+$7 million)
Disaster Resilience (+$10 million; $20 million program total)
Smart Cities/Cyber-physical Systems (+$5 million***; $12 million program total)
Quantum Information Science (+$5 million; $27 million program total)
Ensuring a World-Class Neutron Research Facility (+$11 million; $58 million program total)
Lab-to-Market/Technology Transfer (+$4 million; $10 million program total)
Industrial Technology Services (ITS), $306 million
The ITS request includes an increase of $168 million above FY 2015 enacted levels. These funds will strengthen the nation's manufacturing infrastructure by enabling the creation of NIST-funded manufacturing institutes and increasing the ability of the MEP network to serve U.S. manufacturers. The requested increase includes:
National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) (+$150 million program total)
Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) (+$9.7 million; $141 million program total)
Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech) (+$6.8 million; $15 million program total)
Construction of Research Facilities (CRF), $59 million
The CRF request includes an increase of $7.9 million to restore funding that was reduced in the FY 2015 appropriation and fund the next phase of planned multiyear critical renovations, including:
Building 3 of the NIST Boulder, Colo., laboratories. A request of $3 million will provide for construction support for a major renovation of the building, to be awarded in FY 2015, to support existing and expanding Boulder research functions.
Building 1 of the NIST Boulder, Colo., laboratories. A request of $12 million will support the Wing 5 project, including concept development, design documentation and initial relocation efforts.
As part of the National Wireless Initiative included in the American Jobs Act, NIST will receive $300 million through the Wireless Innovation (WIN) Fund to help develop cutting-edge wireless technologies for public safety users. The funds come from the FY 2015 sale of the use of certain frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum for communications. NIST will use the funding to help industry and public safety organizations conduct research and develop new standards, technologies and applications to advance public safety communications in support of the initiative's efforts to build an interoperable nationwide broadband network for first responders.
View the U.S. Commerce Department's full FY 2016 budget request and Budget in Brief (PDF) on the DOC website.
As a non-regulatory agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NIST promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life.

*Updated Feb. 4, 2015, to include all STRS initiatives.
**This figure was updated Feb. 9, 2015, to reflect $2.5 million in funding for Smart Cities/CPS that is manufacturing-oriented.
***This $5 million includes $2.5 million also counted in the $26.5 million increase for Advanced Manufacturing.

If you don't have a mobile website yet, it's time to create one…and fast! There's a long list of reasons why, including Google's latest update and the fact that people use their mobile devices like they're an oxygen supply.
In 2016, more than 50% half of all online bookings for U.S. travelers will be completed on a mobile device. So if your website isn't mobile optimized, responsive or adaptive, you'll miss out on a large share of bookings. If that's not compelling enough to motivate you to move to mobile, the fact that Google penalizes websites that aren't mobile optimized might light a fire.
Without a mobile hotel website, travel shoppers won't be able to access your content during key moments of the travel experience, which now include while they are on site in the hotel. This becomes another opportunity to connect with your guest, provide additional services and continue to engage while they are on property.
It becomes less a question of can travel shoppers access your website on their mobile devices, and more a question of what devices they are using most, how that impacts their experience, their path to booking, and now their in-destination experience. Consider your customer when you are building your hotel website and ensure that the mobile version of the website delivers the right experience.
We check our smartphones an average of 150 times a day and spend a total of 177 minutes a day browsing. If we stop and do a little mental math here, that means we are spending just over a minute per mobile session. These micro-moments represent an important opportunity for hospitality marketers.
69% of leisure travelers with a smartphone search for travel ideas during spare moments in the day. Hotels that put in the effort to provide mobile shoppers with the information they need when they need it are reaping the benefits. Think of these little searches as opportunities to stand out from the crowd and tell an interesting story. Those little searches are the travel shopper's screening process.
"With everyone glued to mobile devices, you realize how important it is to have some mobile muscle," says Bernard Augustin, Assistant General Manager at J House Greenwich, a boutique luxury hotel in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Bernard and his team created a mobile website to highlight the property's rooms and unique features, and make it easy for travel shoppers to make a booking on the go. In just six short weeks, their mobile bookings increased by 42%.
"It's staggering how many reservations are coded as mobile in our booking system since launching our mobile site. That's a huge increase in such a short time. We're also seeing higher ADRs from mobile bookings and we've even had guests in the parking lot making a booking on their mobile device," he says. So start showing your mobile muscle and make mobile a priority, it will pay off!

The classic paper airplane using a handful straight folds on a standard 8.5- by 11-inch sheet of paper is the one that most of us learn how to fold as children. It is called a dart airplane, due both to its shape and flight pattern. The reason for its broad popularity is that the dart plant is a very easy model to fold, even if you have no prior knowledge of origami. In fact, many children who make play with dart paper planes have no idea that it falls under the category of origami.
Paper airplanes are more than just simple, inexpensive children's toys. They have a surprisingly interesting history. For example, paper airplanes were used by the Wright brothers for development research before their first successful airplane flight on December 17, 1903. And during the 1930s, Jack Northrop is said to have used paper airplane models to test the aerodynamics of the larger aircraft he was building for the Lockheed Corporation.
The classic dart paper plane is made with a single sheet of letter-sized copy paper—the familiar 8.5 by 11-inch paper we all use. Plain white printer paper is fine, although children often like to decorate their planes with different colored designs.
Fold a sheet of paper in half vertically, along the long axis. Unfold and lay the sheet flat.
Fold the left and right corners down to meet at the center crease. Firmly flatten the folded edges so there are sharp diagonal creases.
Fold the top diagonal edges down to meet in the center, aligned with the center crease. Again, firmly press the fold to create a sharp crease.
Fold the paper back against the center valley crease, and lay the folded paper on one side.
To complete the first wing, fold the diagonal side down so that it aligns with the center fold. Press firmly to make a crisp crease.
Flip the plane over and repeat to form the opposite wing. Make sure the wings are shaped symmetrically to ensure straight, level flight.
Test-fly your plane. If you wish, you can add paper clips or tape to the wing of the plane to add extra weight, which may improve its aerodynamics and make it fly better.
A paper airplane made from square paper is folded much the same way as a dart plane, but this design is designed more for slow, hanging flight rather than quick, dart-like flight.
Fold the paper in half vertically, along the long axis. Unfold and lay the sheet flat, with the folds corners facing up.
Fold the paper back against the center valley crease and lay the folded paper on one side.
Bend one wing over to make a crease that is parallel to the center crease and about 1 inch from it.
Open up the wings, then flip the airplane over.
Bend the opposite wing over to match the crease in the first wing.
Straighten up the wings so they are parallel to the body, and test-fly your airplane. Here, too, you can use tape or a paper clip to experiment with adding weight at different points to see how it affects the aerodynamics of the plane.
Any number of folding variations are possible with square paper, such as Logan's simple paper airplane, a slightly modified dart plane. Or, you can experiment with turning up the outer edges of the airplane wings to improve its stability.
To make a money paper airplane, simply fold a dollar bill in half before completing the standard steps for making a classic dart paper airplane. You will need to have a crisp, new bill for this model to be able to fly, however. A wrinkled bill will come apart when you try to fold it.
A paper airplane made from a currency bill makes for a fun tip for your restaurant server or a special cash gift for a friend or family member.
After learning how to make a basic dart paper airplane, you can move on to folding more complicated designs. Many designs for intermediate or advanced origami enthusiasts build on the basic dart plane design.
Paper Airplanes Headquarters has instructions for making five versions of the dart plane.
If sci-fi is more your thing, several of the planes in the Star Wars Folded Flyers book are inspired by the classic dart paper airplane.


When hurricane Maria hit the island of Puerto Rico, the devastation left locals without the most basic services. As the government failed to intervene and provide aid, grassroots collectives emerged and began to help each other. Jorge Diaz tells us more about the context in which this took place and how these autonomous collectives materialized while the state focused on criminalizing the survivors.

Q: Expandable List View Operator == cannot be applied So today I created Expandable List View, everything went well without any error, excepts this in Adapter.java
I'm getting error: Operator '==' cannot be applied to 'android:view.View', 'int' in the if loop just below String title line.
Adapter.java
@Override
public View getGroupView(int groupPosition, boolean isExpanded, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    String title = (String)this.getGroup(groupPosition);
    if(convertView == 0){
        LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)this.ctx.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.parent_531_layout, null);
    }
    TextView textView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.heading_item);
    textView.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
    textView.setText(title);

    return convertView;
}

@Override
public View getChildView(int groupPosition, int childPosition, boolean isLastChild, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    String title = (String)this.getChild(groupPosition, childPosition);
    if (convertView == 0){
        LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)this.ctx.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        convertView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.child_531_layout, null);
    }

    TextView textView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.child_item);
    textView.setText(title);

    return convertView;
}

So if anyone can correct my errors and tell me what I did wrong, I would appreciate it!

A: View is an object and there is not logical(possible to compare this againt an int)
try checking if is a null reference or not.
 if (convertView == null){
...
    }

A: View here is the expandable list view item, you cann't directly compare it to any integer like you have done.
If you want to check whether view is empty than check like this :
if (convertView == null){
//your code here
    }

Hope it helps !

The Edina-based ice cream and restaurant chain is parting ways with New York-based Grey Advertising after working together for 15 years, the Advertising Age reports. A Dairy Queen marketing executive tells the trade journal that the company hopes to have a new creative agency in place by early next year.

A Dairy Queen marketing executive tells the trade journal that the company hopes to have a new creative agency in place by early next year.
Click here, to check out Dairy Queen's YouTube channel.
Edina-based Dairy Queen confirms all of its 4,000 locations will serve Orange Julius beverages by November. "This is a perfect addition to our menu for customers who want a healthier quick snack or a treat at any time of the day," Barry Westrum, executive vice president of Marketing for American Dairy Queen Corporation, said in a statement. There are already more than 800 DQ Orange Julius stores in the U.S. and Canada.
John Gainor, chief executive officer of International Dairy Queen, told Bloomberg TV the Edina-based chain plans to open several stores in New York, including Staten Island Ferry Station and Manhattan by the end of this year.
Southdale shoppers will have more than a dozen new options at the Edina shopping mall once the $19 million renovation project is complete this fall. The Edina Patch writes the mall recently announced it will soon be home to Journeys, Wet Seal and Maurices, in addition to several new restaurants.
Sandra Calkins pleaded guilty last spring to defrauding investors out of about $9 million. The 67-year-old was the owner of the Edina-based Princess Soft Toys. MPR reports the company closed in 2010 and the brand was bought by a Connecticut-based toymaker.
The Minneapolis-based retail chain remains mum on the controversial marriage amendment in Minnesota, but a fairly new online ad for Target's wedding registry sends a strong message. It shows two grooms embracing with the slogan, "Be Yourself, Together."
The struggling Edina-based hair care giant has chosen Royal Caribbean Cruises executive Daniel Hanrahan as its new chief executive officer. Hanrahan will join Regis Corporation on August 6. Most recently, he was president and CEO of the Celebrity Cruise brand. Interim COO Eric Bakken was tapped to serve as interim CEO of Regis earlier this month.

Like many professional industries, pharmaceutical work requires a unique set of licenses. Whether you are a manager of a pharmacy practice, an employee within a pharmacy, or a recent graduate starting your career, you will face certification and licensing requirements at every level of your career.
Adhering to professional licensing requirements is key to maintaining your legal authority to practice pharmacy. Beyond that, full compliance demonstrates that you have the medical skills and judgement to ensure the health and safety of those who rely on your services as a pharmacist. Failing to observe pharmaceutical industry requirements can result in state imposed penalties and even denial, revocation, or suspension of your license.
The good news? An experienced, dedicated compliance partner can help you take a proactive approach to maintaining pharmacy licensure and certification. Contact Harbor Compliance today to help you simplify the professional licensing process.
The following guide contains an overview of pharmaceutical licensing and specific board requirements in each state.
Pharmacy licenses generally fall into 3 categories: Pharmacy facility, Wholesaler/Distributor, and Other. Pharmacy state licensing boards vary in how they label license types, so it is important to review the information from the specific state board of pharmacy that you are applying through. The following is a breakdown of licenses that typically appear in these three categories.
A business entity offering pharmaceutical services to the public must register with the State Board of Pharmacy and receive the relevant pharmacy license. A pharmacy license is necessary to practice in all states and companies practicing without one can be liable for steep penalty fees and even criminal charges.
Licensure for pharmacies usually follows incorporation or foreign qualification of the business entity with the secretary of state. Common legal structures for companies are corporations or professional corporations (PC), and limited liability companies (LLC) or professional LLCs. Incorporation refers to formation of the business entity, whereas foreign qualification refers to applying for a Certificate of Authority to transact business in another state.
After registration with the secretary of state, companies must apply for a license through the relevant licensing board. Pharmacy industry licenses are generally divided by the types of pharmaceutical services that a pharmacy might provide. For example, New Mexico has 14 different companies licenses ranging from Animal Control and Hospital pharmacy licenses to Wholesale Drug Distributor and Narcotic Treatment Program Facility licenses. Applications and forms vary by state and states don't always classify pharmacies in the same way. Despite the variation across state licensing boards, there are some requirements that are nearly universal.
Applications almost always require the companies to incorporate or foreign qualify before applying for a pharmacy license. Other common application requirements include: Controlled Substance registration, facility information, and self-inspection forms.
State boards also require companies to have at least one licensed pharmacist employed before applying for a license. This individual is known as the pharmacist in charge. The pharmacist in charge must usually submit proof of licensure and needs to be individually licensed in any additional states that the pharmacy expands to. One notable exception to this rule is Arizona, where out of state pharmacies do not need to have an Arizona licensed pharmacist on staff.
There can also be federal registration requirements for pharmacies. Pharmacies that issue controlled substances should register with the DEA following state level licensure.
Entities that provide pharmaceutical service to more than one state are required to register in all states that they serve. Out-of-state applications typically have more requirements than in-state applications, and pharmacies must meet these requirements prior to providing service in another state. Proof of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) registration, resident state pharmacy licenses, and inspection reports are common requirements on out-of-state license applications.
Many states require nonresident pharmacies, including mail order, internet, and out-of-state pharmacies, to report to the state prescription monitoring program (PMP).
Pharmacies that have a brick-and-mortar location in at least one state but ship pharmaceuticals to other states are considered mail-order pharmacies. They require specific licenses in most states.
Pharmacies that do not have any brick-and-mortar stores but operate entirely online are considered internet pharmacies. In some states, requirements for internet pharmacies overlap with mail order pharmacies. All internet pharmacy applications require a Verified Internet Pharmacy Practices Site program, among many other requirements.
Because pharmacy license requirements are particularly complex, especially for pharmacies operating in multiple states or shipping across states lines, it is best to talk to a compliance specialist to determine which requirements apply to your business.
Fees for initial licensure range from $75 to $900. Wisconsin's pharmacy license is only $75, while the District of Columbia's pharmacy license amounts to $900. The average license fee is around $300.
Pharmacy license renewal varies by state. About half of all states call for licenses to be renewed every two years with the remaining states renewing annually.
Like initial application fees, renewal fees also vary by state. Fees range from just $100 for some West Virginia licenses to $900 in the District of Columbia. Companies can expect to pay closer to the national average of $265 when applying for a license, however, the most commonly applied fee is $200.

Health workers account for 14% global COVID-19 infections -WHO
By Angela Onwuzoo

The World Health Organisation says though health workers account for an estimated three percent of the world's population, they, however, account for 14 per cent of all infections with COVID-19.
WHO Director-General, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, disclosed this during his opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 on Monday.
He said, "The pandemic has reminded all of us of the heroic work that health workers do every single day.
"Health workers account for an estimated three per cent of the world's population, but account for 14 per cent of all infections with COVID-19."
Continuing, the WHO chief noted, "One of WHO's primary concerns has been to ensure that health workers have access to personal protective equipment.
"We also advise that health workers should clean their hands regularly with an alcohol-based hand rub, or wash with soap and water.
"And yet new data from WHO and UNICEF show that one in four health facilities globally lack basic water services."
According to him, in the world's 47 least-developed countries, half of all health facilities have no clean water on site.
"This puts health workers and patients at risk from infections of all kinds, makes childbirth much less safe, and drives antimicrobial resistance.
"Addressing this gap is an urgent priority for WHO and UNICEF, and must be for the rest of the world.
"Preliminary estimates show that making sure all healthcare facilities in the 47 least-developed countries have basic water, sanitation, hygiene, waste management and cleaning services will cost an additional 3.6 billion US dollars between 2021 and 2030.
"And we know that for every dollar invested in hand hygiene alone, there is a return of US$15.
"In other words, investing in water, sanitation and hygiene is not just the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do," he said.
According to worldometers.info, over 72m cases of COVID-19 have been recorded globally with over 1.6m deaths since the outbreak of the viral infection; while over 51m people have recovered from the infection.

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - A new diet idea showing big promise in the Cleveland area. It's called the Daniel Plan and puts the theory of eating whole foods, foods from the earth not from a factory line, in a whole different perspective. It comes from the Cleveland Clinic and used in churches throughout northeast Ohio.
Pastor Vickie Sorrells of Lee Heights Community Church is excited about incorporating it with her congregation wanting to help everyone get healthier.
"We knew we had to make it spiritual we knew we had to connect faith to it," Pastor Sorrells said.
The plan is based on the bible's Book of Daniel.
"He said I'm going to show you by eating from what God has produced from God's earth it's about really taking care of oneself," explained Pastor Sorrells.
The plan highlights faith, food, fitness focus and friends. It was developed at the Cleveland Clinic's Center for Functional Medicine.
"It really makes people more accountable and not just to themselves and the scale," said nutritionist Brigid Titgemeier who's excited about helping implement the 40-day plan in churches throughout the city starting next month. "Usually people do much better when they have support from others, it's one of the biggest components when you are talking long-term sustainable behavior change."
So, what better support group than a congregation?
Pastor Sorrell's church was one of a few where the plan was tried out over the summer, and where they went all out.
"On Sunday it was my responsibility to have something from the pulpit to our bodies are our own temples of God and that it's on loan and we got to take care of it," Pastor Sorrell added.
Between that and the accompanying "how to" tools and resources, not only was there significant weight loss, like the pastor d ropping eight pounds herself we're told, but, there was also general health improvement all around.
The average weight loss is said to be more than five pounds, and the average cholesterol d rop is 14 points. Some who took part the first time around were actually able to get off some medication.
For more information on getting your church involved there is a seminar scheduled for Saturday Nov. 5 at the Cleveland Clinic Lyndhurst Campus from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for more information danielplan@ccf.org.

Barter, Paul (2020) 'Singapore' in Dorina Pojani, Jonathan Corcoran, Neil Sipe and Iderlina Mateo-Babiano (eds.) Parking: An International Perspective, 1st Edition. Elsevier.
Singapore's urban transport policies have long been unusual in vigorously slowing the growth of growth of car ownership. Its parking policies and practices do also have some unusual feature but are also conventional in several important respects. Most Singapore neighbourhoods are park-once-and-walk areas, served by relatively well-managed public parking. Yet parking supply policy still relies heavily on trying to seeks to meet parking demand on-site with each building, using minimum parking requirements. Nevertheless, there are some signs that parking policy may be made more consistent with Singapore's wider transport and urban development priorities.

Barter, Paul (2018) 'Parking Policies in Asian Cities: Conventional but Instructive', in Shoup, D. (ed.). Parking and the City. New York: Routledge.
To document how parking requirements have spread through Asia, and how they vary among cities, this chapter analyzes the parking policies in 14 large metropolitan areas: Ahmedabad, Bangkok, Beijing, Dhaka, Guangzhou, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila, Singapore, Seoul, Taipei, and Tokyo.
Two main surprises emerge. First, all the cities have minimum parking requirements and most apply them in rather rigid ways. This is surprising because rigidly-applied parking minimums are usually associated with car dependent cities and seem ill-suited to Asia's dense and mixed-use urban fabrics where car use is relatively low. Second, although Tokyo's parking policies include minimum parking requirements, a closer look reveals a uniquely Japanese market-responsive set of parking policies.
The comparisons in this chapter make use of a new typology of parking policy approaches which is presented in the next section. Then the following section illustrates the typology as it applies to common approaches in the western world. This sets the scene for three sections that examine how Asian cities compare by looking at their policies towards: a) off-street on-site parking, b) on-street parking, and c) public parking. The chapter ends by taking stock of the significance of the findings.

Prepared by Paul Barter. The document provides an overview of the different approaches to on-street parking management and provides advice to policy makers dealing with problems arising from unmanaged on-street parking. It addresses common problems that occur from illegal parking and circulating traffic searching for parking and points out approaches to overcome them. This includes information on the appropriate physical design of on-street parking as well as on the institutional basics and adequate tools for fee collection and pricing.

Barter, P.A. (2011) Parking Policy in Asian Cities. Asian Development Bank (ADB), Manila. 98 pages.
The final book form of my study of "Parking Policy in Asian Cities". Most Asian cities are facing an acute parking crisis as a result of rapid urbanization and motorization, and high urban densities. Parking policy is an important component of a holistic approach to sustainable urban transport across the region. The report provides an international comparative perspective on parking policy in Asian cities, while highlighting the nature of the policy choices available. It is a step in building a knowledge base to address the knowledge gap on parking and the lack of adequate guidance for parking policy in Asia. Available in hard copy or on-line via the ADB page.

Barter, P. A. (2015) A parking policy typology for clearer thinking on parking reform, International Journal of Urban Sciences, 19:2, 136-156.
This paper contends that the absence of a widely understood typology of parking policy approaches is causing confusion in an important urban policy arena. This is apparent across the parking policy literature, both academic and practical, and across several regions. Previous typologies are reviewed and found to be either incomplete, overly simplistic, inaccurate, or failing to offer insight beyond merely describing the diversity. None enables much insight into the thinking behind each approach and reform thrust. To remedy this gap, a new approach to classifying parking policies is proposed. It is based on making explicit the contrasting mindsets behind different parking reform directions. A review of geographical diversity (both international and within metropolitan areas) is presented. This allows the value of the taxonomy to be evaluated, as well as enabling some refinements. Three main mindsets are posited, with each being defined by answers to two key questions. Each mindset has contrasting assumptions about the nature of parking as an economic good. Further detail in the typology is enabled through a third dimension based on one further question. New clarity provided by the new classification approach should reduce the tendency for parking debates to be confounded by the conflation of distinct reforms, by false dichotomies and by 'straw man' portrayals of key alternatives.

Barter, P.A. (2010) Off-Street Parking Policy without Parking Requirements: a Need for Market Fostering and Regulation? Transport Reviews, 30 (5), 571-588.
This paper addresses and extends upon the recent upsurge of interest in market-oriented reform of parking policy, which has been reinvigorated by the work of Donald Shoup. His market-oriented approach to parking policy is shown to be the more ambitious of two distinct challenges to the conventional supply-focused approach. The other is 'parking management'. However, off-street parking markets and their post-reform dynamics have been neglected so far in proposals to deregulate the quantity of off-street parking. The paper highlights additional barriers to the emergence of off-street parking markets and several likely problems within them. Rather than suggesting the rejection of market-oriented parking policy, these findings are taken to imply a need for a more vigorous policy effort than has so far been called for. Achieving well-functioning off-street parking markets would require efforts both to actively foster such markets and to regulate to ensure their health. Deregulation would not be enough.
Barter, P.A. (2012) Off-Street Parking Policy Surprises in Asian Cities, J. Cities, 29 (1), 23-31.
This paper analyses findings on policy towards non-residential, off-street parking supply from a study of large metropolitan areas in East, Southeast and South Asia. The study provides the first international comparative perspective on the issue for a region where parking challenges are widespread and acute. It utilises (and helped to refine) a new typology, which groups parking policy approaches into 'conventional', 'parking management' and 'market-oriented' categories. Several distinct parking policy orientations are identified among the cities studied. Given their characteristics (most have relatively low car-ownership, high-density development and with high usage of public transport) most of these Asian cities might be expected to have off-street parking policies akin to those found in older areas of western cities that have comparable characteristics. Yet, parking policies that are surprisingly conventional and promoting of automobile-dependence prevail in most of the Southeast and South Asian cities studied. It is less surprising that a number of Asian cities (mostly in East Asia) do not have such an auto-centric conventional approach. However, it is a surprise that their parking policy approaches still involve minimum parking requirements and have generally not adopted the most common western alternative to the conventional approach (parking management).

The doctoral program in advertising at The University of Texas is interdisciplinary in nature. It is designed to provide a rigorous educational experience that challenges graduates to attain their highest potential of intellectual achievement. The Ph.D. program is designed to meet the needs of exceptional graduate students who wish to prepare for teaching and research positions in universities or for research careers in industry or business. The University of Texas at Austin is the leading producer of research doctorates in the U.S., according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Although one of the largest in the country, it remains highly selective. Completion of the doctoral program assumes a willingness and capacity on the part of students to further development of the discipline. Students should also be receptive to a well-rounded education in advertising, appreciating its foundations in communication, human behavior, marketing and culture. The doctoral program is deliberately designed to be broad and flexible, and students are encouraged to draw upon the full range and interests of the faculty, both within the department and across other departments in the university. More is expected of graduate students than undergraduates; doctoral studies presume a level of involvement that greatly exceeds that of a master's program.
The time needed to complete a Ph.D. is varied. Some or most of the coursework taken during the master's program may be counted toward the Ph.D., depending upon how applicable a course is to the student's area of study. On average, most students take about 4 years to complete their Ph.D. program.
Assistantships, Fellowships and Financial Aid
The department offers support to our incoming students with teaching assistantships, graduate assistantships and university fellowships as well as funds for conference presentations. See a list of our current Ph.D. students.
