This Morning Viewers In Hysterics After Spin To Win Contestant Calls Prize 'Bag Of S**t'
Claire Reid
Published 14:28, 08 November 2021 GMT
| Last updated 14:30, 08 November 2021 GMT
A contestant on This Morning left Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield in stitches after she swore twice on live TV. You can see the cringe-worthy moment here:
The woman named Linda took part in the show's famous game, Spin to Win, this morning (8 November) and ended up bagging herself a whopping £3,000 - but in the excitement, she ended up swearing twice while speaking on live TV.
After scooping the prize, a delighted Linda asked Holly and Phil: "What is it?" to which they told her she'd won three grand.
Kind-hearted Linda then urged the hosts to take some of the cash out to donate to the emergency services, telling Holly and Phil: "Please take one hundred pounds out - will you do that?"
But things quickly went wrong after as the famed Spin to Win 'Bag of Shizzle' began to lower from the ceiling, while Holly said: "You know what's coming down!'
Linda didn't hold back, replying: "It's the bag of s**t!" to which Phil corrected her: "No, shizzle!"
She then repeated: "It is a bag of s**t!" while poor Phil attempted to convince her that it was, in fact, 'shizzle'.
Meanwhile, Holly had completely lost her composure and was laughing away in the background while begging: "No, stop!"
Credit: ITV
As you can imagine, sweary Linda was a big hit with viewers who thought the whole thing was hilarious.
Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "OMG!!!!! Absolutely crying at This Morning love Linda. That was the BEST spin to win EVER!!"
Another said: "Absolute gold from Linda on #thismorning @thismorning ... Not once but twice..!"
While someone else commented: "Oh my god I love this woman. Not only is she funny but she is giving 100 pound to the NHS. You are amazing Linda #ThisMorning @thismorning."
However, Linda's over-excited reaction to her win was a million miles away from the reaction a fellow ITV competition winner had today.
The woman from Essex had entered ITV's The Million Pound Decision, which is promoted across Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women.
Today the channel's presenter, Andi Peters, was tasked with announcing the winner of what has been called 'the biggest TV comp ever seen' with the lucky woman winning a million quid.
In the clip, which aired on GMB earlier today, Andi asks the anonymous: "Did you enter one of our competitions?"
The lady replied: "I did," adding: "I think it was the million pound one but I'm sure you can't be calling me about that."
Andi confirmed that she had in fact won the competition and she said, in a perfectly composed voice: "Really? I can't believe it. My heart is like beating crazily."
When Andi asks how she would like to receive her dosh, she laughed: "I was just going to go for the million in one go."

Liking something is just a question of how much peace it yields in you. Everyone finds his own peace in his own ways yet many times we don't know where to find one. I was restless for almost a weak or more now; many reasons, my work, missing home, missing her, whatever the reasons were but my day was not ending as I wanted it to be. Vivek called one evening and said, "Hey! Guess what! Anoushka Shankar is coming in town for a live concert. What's say??" I asked, "Where is it? How much for the tickets?" Coincidentally it was just near my home, we both booked the tickets. Before that, I listened to some of her songs and I felt a need from within to go here her. Something was disparate in those vibrations, they moved me. I decided at that moment only, I want to; rather I have to go to this concert.

Home Relationships How did David illustrate love and forgiveness in dealing with Saul?
How did David illustrate love and forgiveness in dealing with Saul?
Some think there is such a contrast between the eye-for-an-eye thinking of certain OT passages and the love shown in the NT. But the life of David in dealing with King Saul which was moved by the Holy Spirit of God, centuries before NT times, illustrated the same principles taught by Christ in His beatitudes "love your enemies" (Matthew 5:43-48).
The first opportunity for revenge
In one incident, Saul who was chasing after David to kill him. And it was told that David was hiding in the Wilderness of En Gedi (1 Samuel 24: 1). So, Saul took three thousand men and went to seek after David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats (v. 2). Then, Saul came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a cave; and he went in to attend to his needs not knowing that David and his men were hiding in the same cave.
At this point, David's men said to him, "This is the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you" (v. 4). But David went and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's robe. And David's conscious troubled him for doing that. So, he said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD" (v. 6).
David chose to forgive
David apologized for even the slight liberty that he had taken in spoiling the king's garment. David's soldiers were willing to love their friends, but they still had hatred for their enemies. In contrast, David manifested his love and respect for his worst enemy (Matthew 5:43–48). And he restrained his men from hurting King Saul (1 Samuel 24: 6,7). Thus, David's actions illustrated the spirit of Christ (Matthew 5:11).
When Saul left the cave, David followed him and bowed down and said to him, "My lord the king! … Why do you listen to the words of men who say, 'Indeed David seeks your harm'?" (v. 8,9). Instead of blaming Saul for all his evil actions, David excused the king's action as done under the influence of false friends, who moved by malice of self-interest. And they encouraged the king to pursue after David to kill him.
And David added, "Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, 'I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed" (v. 10). David would not take revenge of King Saul that wanted to kill him but would wait for God to do that at His own timing. For the Lord said, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19).
Then, king Saul moved with remorse, wept and admitted that David was more righteous than he was; for David had rewarded him with good whereas he had treated David with evil (1 Samuel 24:17).
The second chance to revenge
The Bible records that David saved King Saul's life a second time (1 Samuel 26). At this time David and Abishai his commander came to a place where Saul was sleeping in the camp with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. Then, Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!" (v. 6)
But David said to Abishai, "Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?" (v. 9). However David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul's head (v. 10). Then, David called the camp saying, Here is the king's spear… for the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not stretch out my hand against the LORD's anointed (v. 22-24). Again Saul admitted that he sinned (v. 21). But there was no sincere repentance in his heart.
In these stories, David's love and respect for Saul as the Lord's anointed is clearly contrasted with Saul's selfishness, his jealous hatred that turned him into a demon, and his thirst for the blood that hardened his heart. Had King Saul sought the Lord for cleansing, he would have been granted a soft loving heart like David's (Ezekiel 36:26).

Past Bruins reflect on Marley's time
Brandon Shields
Chester County head football coach Michael Hodum remembers the first time he met his mentor and former high school coach Mickey Marley.
"We were standing outside the summer before my junior year, and we were getting a new coach to help Coach [Walter] Kilzer," Hodum said. "And our new coach who's going to be our defensive coordinator pulls up in a Chevelle with everything he owned in his car with him.
"I guess he drove straight down from UT Martin to his first practice with us."
Hodum was a part of the last football team at Old Hickory Academy in the fall of 1987 as a junior and the first football team at University School of Jackson in 1988. Marley was an assistant coach to Kilzer, who'd already made his name famous by coaching the football program at Trenton Peabody for a couple of decades.
Marley went on to become the head coach at USJ in 1989 and won 245 games with the Bruins before being fired from his coaching position last Friday.
Hodum recalled playing for Marley before he became the leader of the Bruins' program and the type of coach he was back then.
"Coach Marley was a fiery guy with a lot of drive to lead his players to success," Hodum said. "There's a picture I used to have, and I'm not even sure it exists anymore.
"But it's a picture of Coach Marley almost leaning over the football field from the sidelines yelling either instructions or motivations to his players. And you can just see the determination and will to win in his eyes in that photo."
Steve Treadway was the quarterback for those teams, and he remembers how Marley was back then as well.
"Coach Marley brought a lot to the team and the program," Treadway said. "He was one that could motivate us to do more than we thought we could, which is kind of a trademark of a good coach.
"A lot of times you see these great teams that do so well, and most of the time it's because they have a coach who's good at bringing more out of players than they thought they had in them. Coach Marley is one of those guys."
Treadway has followed USJ in the years since he graduated and watched how Marley has coached.
"His teams have almost always been some of the best teams in this area, and a lot of the time they're playing against teams that are bigger or faster than them," Treadway said. "But Coach Marley has almost always been able to match those teams with his coaching."
Hodum has followed Marley's coaching a little more closely. He coached against him for 10 years when Hodum was the head coach at Trinity Christian Academy from 2001-10. After he moved to Chester County in 2011, the Eagles and Bruins had a home-and-home series in 2013-14. In all those meetings, Hodum has won twice.
"Those two victories are two victories that are among those that I'm most proud of," Hodum said. "[Former Chester County/TCA defensive coordinator] Derek Pritchard and I would laugh whenever we coached against USJ about how he and his coaching staff – whether it was with [Jim] Hardegree or whomever – would always be able to find a way to beat you, some way to take advantage of a weakness you left open. You almost could never slip anything by him.
"If I were to be put in a game to coach and both teams had equal talent, the coach I'd least want to coach against in that game would be Coach Marley because of his ability to find a way to win no matter the circumstances. Because if the physical ability and talent are equal, Marley always has a chance."
Treadway and Hodum both said they expect Marley to be picked up by a team soon, and Treadway said he still can't understand why Marley was let go by his alma mater.
"It was disappointing to hear the news, I will say that," Treadway said. "And I guess it would be understandable if they hadn't been winning and had took a dive as a program like some programs do.
"But when I heard it, the first thing I thought of was Mark Richt. He'd always been a winner at Georgia, and he was fired. USJ just made the state semifinals, but the administration or whoever decided this was what needed to be done. They could bring another great coach in and start winning championships next year, but right now this decision is disappointing."

Pro-Golfer Tiger Woods's Net Worth Estimated at $740 Million
Michael Harrington December 25, 2016
Miami, Florida – It looks like Forbes has researched into the assets of the famous, offering up its initial list of America's Wealthiest Celebrities.
Professional Golfer Tiger Woods made the list and is the highest-ranking golfer on the list.
Woods comes in at No. 7 among America's Wealthiest Celebrities with an estimated net worth of $740 million.
Michael Jordan, the billionaire at athlete and basket greatest
That puts him in company with Sean "Diddy" Combs ($750 million) and Dr. Dre ($710 million). Woods is also the second-highest athlete on the list, only trailing basketball great Michael Jordan's $1.2 billion valuation.
Woods who did net roughly $100 million annually (combining on-course winnings and sponsorship dollars) in his heyday, has slowed down significantly since his 2009 scandal.
With his pal, Michael Jordan, ahead of him, Woods at some point could become the king of athletes (in net worth). He certainly is that in golf and will remain that way for quite some time, as Phil Mickelson, the only other golfer on this 20-person list, is valued at $375 million – just over half of Woods's total – by Forbes.
Woods, 40, is also the youngest member on the Forbes' recent list. The top earner on Forbes' rundown is 72-year-old George Lucas at $4.6 billion.

Sharjah (/ˈʃɑːrdʒə/; Arabic: ٱلشَّارقَة aš-Šāriqah; Gulf Arabic: aš-šārja[1]) is the third largest and third most populous city in the United Arab Emirates, forming part of the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area. The emirate of Sharjah borders with Dubai to the south, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain to the north and Ras Al Khaimah to the east. It is the only emirate that overlooks the coastline on the Persian Gulf to the west and the Gulf of Oman (Indian Ocean) to the East, with the eastern Sharjah coastal towns of Kalba and Khor Fakkan.
Sharjah is the capital of the emirate of the same name. Sharjah shares legal, political, military and economic functions with the other emirates of the UAE within a federal framework, although each emirate has jurisdiction over some functions such as civil law enforcement and provision and upkeep of local facilities. Sharjah has been ruled by the Al Qasimi dynasty since the 18th century.
The city is a centre for culture and industry, and alone contributes 7.4% of the GDP of the United Arab Emirates.[2] The city covers an approximate area of 235 km² and has a population of over 800,000 (2008). The sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in the emirate of Sharjah without possession of an alcohol licence and alcohol is not served in Sharjah hotels, restaurants or other outlets due to the Muslim majority in the area. This has helped Sharjah increase the number of Islamic tourists who visit the country.[3] Sharjah has been officially named as a WHO healthy city.[4] The 2016 edition of QS Best Student Cities ranked Sharjah as the 68th best city in the world to be a university student.[5] Sharjah is regarded as the cultural capital of the UAE,[6] and was the Islamic culture capital in 2014.[7] Sharjah was named World Book Capital for 2019 by UNESCO.[8]

Sultan Al Omaimi, a UAE poet and researcher in folk literature, says that some historians speculate that Sharjah was the name of an idol worshipped in the ancient era which was known as Abed Al Shareq.[citation needed]
Other researchers link the word Sharjah to the fact that the city is located to the east ('sharq' means 'east' in Arabic), of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
An old door in Sharjah, displaying the historical architecture of the city.
Sharjah was historically one of the wealthiest towns in this region with a settlement in existence for over 5000 years.[9] In the early 18th century, the Qawasim clan (Huwayla tribe) established itself in Sharjah, c.1727 declaring Sharjah independent. On 8 January 1820, Sheikh Sultan I signed the General Maritime Treaty with Britain, accepting a protectorate to keep the Ottoman Turks out. Like four of its neighbours, Ajman, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, and Umm Al Quwain, its position on the route to India made it important enough to be recognised as a salute state (be it of the lowest class: 3 guns).
In 1829, English author and traveler James Silk Buckingham described Sharjah as such:
"In the course of the night, we had passed the port of Sharjee, on the Arabian coast, which is not an island, as laid down in Niebuhr's chart, the only one in which it is inserted; but a small town, on a sandy beach, containing from five to six hundred inhabitants. It is situated in lat. 25° 34' north, and lies eleven leagues south-west of a small island, close to the shore, called Jeziret-el-Hamra; and three leagues south-west of Sharjee is Aboo Hayle."[10]
By the turn of the 20th century, Sharjah extended inland to the area now known as Wasit Suburb, the area between the city and Dhaid being under the control of the tribes of the interior. With some 15,000 inhabitants, Sharjah had some 4 or 5 shops in Layyah and a bazaar of some 200 shops in Sharjah proper.[11]
At the height of World War II, Nazi propaganda infiltrated the town. Loud transmissions of pro-Hitler speeches could be heard emanating from the Sheikh of Sharjah's palace during a period in 1940, and messages sharing a similar sentiment had been graffitied on walls in the town centre according to British intelligence reports at the time. Because the message being propagated by the Germans was one of anti-Imperialism, it found a sympathetic audience among the emirate's populace, particularly Abdullah bin Faris, a secretary of the Sheikh who was responsible for the broadcasts. After the Sheikh was confronted by the British, he wrote a letter reiterating his support for the British war efforts and disputed the charges laid out against bin Faris. Attached to the letter was a petition signed by 48 prominent individuals testifying to bin Faris' character, which, according to the British, had been misrepresented to the signees. The incident resolved after the Sheikh and bin Faris ceased from transmitting propaganda and doubled down on their support of the British.[12]
On 2 December 1971, Sharjah, together with Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Umm Al Qawain and Fujairah joined in the Act of Union to form the United Arab Emirates. The seventh emirate, Ras Al Khaimah, joined the UAE on 10 February 1972, following giant non-Arab neighbour Iran's annexation of the RAK-owned Tunbs islands.[citation needed]
Like the other former Trucial States, Sharjah's name is known by many stamp collectors because of the large numbers of stamps that were issued by the Sharjah Post Office shortly before the formation of the United Arab Emirates, which became part of the class of virtually worthless stamps known to collectors as Dunes.[13] Many of these items feature subjects unrelated to the emirates whose names they bear, and therefore many catalogues do not list them.[14]

Sharjah is the third largest city in the United Arab Emirates after Dubai and Abu Dhabi.[16] The palace of the ruler of the Emirate of Sharjah, His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of the city.
The city of Sharjah overlooks the Persian Gulf and has a population of over 800,000 (2008). It contains the main administrative and commercial centres together with an array of cultural and traditional projects, including several museums covering areas such as archaeology, natural history, science, arts, heritage, Islamic art and culture. Distinctive landmarks include two major covered souks, reflecting Islamic design, and a number of recreational areas and public parks such as Al Montazah Fun Park and Al Buheirah Corniche. The city is also notable for its numerous elegant mosques[17].
Rolla Square
Named after the large rolla (banyan tree) that once stood in the square[18] and that inspired the sculpture currently at the centre of the park, Rolla Square is a common location for workers to stroll during the weekends.[citation needed]
Al Hisn Sharjah
Main article: Sharjah Fort
Sharjah Fort was demolished in the 1970s but rebuilt and is today a museum.[citation needed]
'Smile You're In Sharjah' Roundabout
Located between the Blue Souq and Fish Market, near the Union Bank Tower, the floral call to cheer up etched on the roundabout has lent its name to the roundabout itself.[19] Currently the roundabout is being upgraded and is under construction.
Gold Souq
The Souq Al Markazi, or Gold Souq, is a tourist destination and comprises a gold souq, clothing souq and, on its first floors, antiques and jewellery shops.[citation needed]
Mahattah Fort
The fort was built to house travellers on the Imperial Airways Eastern Empire route and was the site of Sharjah Airport until 1977. It is now an aviation museum.[citation needed]
Heritage District
Sharjah Heritage District
The Heart of Sharjah houses several galleries, and museums including the charming heritage museum which gives a great insight into the cultural traditions of the past. The area is also home to the traditional Souk Al Arsa, a covered souk with an array of items to sell including antiques and the office of the Sharjah Centre for Cultural Communication where you can get info on Sharjah attractions.[citation needed]
Al Qasba Canal
Al-Qasba Canal is a 1 km-long canal that runs through the centre of Sharjah. Located along its waterfront are several apartments, shops and tourist attractions of the Al Qasba community.[20]
Sharjah Heritage Museum
The Sharjah Heritage Museum is situated near to the Bait Al Naboodah is just opposite Soouq Al Arsah. This is an architecturally designed two-storey family house. It is built around a shaded courtyard and is dedicated to a family life reconstruction many years ago. There are many rooms which has displays of traditional furniture along with household items too. Moreover, there are also provision of children's costumes, games and jewellery.
Sharjah National Park
Main article: Sharjah National Park
Sharjah National Park covers an area of nearly 630,000 sq ft (59,000 m2) of area.[21]
Sharjah Aquarium
Located in Al Layyeh, Sharjah aquarium has over 250 species to see right from the delicate seahorses to smallest clown fish, reef sharks, rays and moray eels. Visitors can submerge themselves to the colorful, diverse and rich undersea world which is home to a variety of marine life which is native to the sea.

The Arabian Wildlife Center opened in 1999 and was home to more than 100 species of animals. Situated at a convenient location, this center was quite close to the Sharjah International Airport. Despite the hot and dry conditions in most of Arabia, there were a number of mammal species who had adapted to these conditions.[citation needed] The Breeding Centre for Endangered Wildlife, a sister facility,[23] was a member of the EAZA, like Al Ain Zoo in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi,[22] but is now closed to the public.[24] The fauna, including the Arabian leopard, which had been recorded in the mountains in the eastern part of the country,[23] there were shifted to Al Hefaiyah Conservation Centre in the eastern area of Kalba.[25] The center's activities had included assisting the Yemeni zoos of Sana'a and Ta'izz with taking care of their fauna in 2001.[23]
Al Majaz Waterfront
Al Majaz Waterfront is an expansion and beautification of the existing park in order to enhance it into a family-friendly leisure area, a waterfront landmark of Sharjah Featuring an audio-video dancing fountain, miniature golf and a number of restaurants.
Main article: Rain Room
In 2018, the experimential art installation Rain Room was given a permanent home in Sharjah. Sharjah Art Foundation constructed a purpose-built visitor centre located in the city's residential area of Al Majarrah to house the permanent installation of Rain Room, with up to six visitors at a time taking fifteen minutes to explore the experience. People can experience rain all around them without getting wet. There are sensors which help detect your movement and prevent rain from falling on you directly but fall all around you.
Sharjah's largest mosque, named the "Sharjah Mosque"[26][27] was inaugurated in May 2019. Located in the area of Tay, at the junction of the Emirates Road and the road to Mleiha, it can accommodate up to 25,000 worshipers, with an inside capacity of over 5,000 people.[28] Two coins, one gold and one silver, each inscribed with a verse from the Quran, were issued by the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, and designed by the Sharjah Islamic Bank, to commemorate the occasion.[29] Previously, the King Faisal Mosque, named after King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, had been the largest in the Emirate[30] and country, with an area of 10,000–12,000 m2 (110,000–130,000 sq ft).[31][32]

The city has reasonably well developed transport infrastructure. Like many major cities, Sharjah has a problem with vehicular traffic congestion during rush hours especially the roads leading to and from the Emirate of Dubai.
The role of the Sharjah Public Transport Corporation (SPTC) is to reinforce public transportation, setting its policies and find strategic solutions for smooth traffic, providing modern and professional transport services to the passengers, driving Sharjah Emirate or on the InterCity routes, between all emirates in UAE.
Development of transportation services in Sharjah is critical and long term task. Planning by SPTC since 2008 Sharjah Metro[34][35] will be third in UAE (after Dubai and Abu Dhabi metros) and planning since 2015 Sharjah Tram[36] will be second (after Dubai Tram).
The Sharjah International Airport is the aviation hub of the city. Sharjah Airport is the third largest Middle East airfreight hub in cargo tonnage, according to official 2015 statistics from Airports Council International. Sharjah International Airport is home base of the low-cost carrier Air Arabia. It has daily flights connecting Lebanon, Jordan, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Ukraine, India, Egypt, Syria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.
There are two major series of highways in Sharjah, which are "E" and "S". E represents roads connecting other emirates and S for roads within the emirates.
The major roads in the emirate of Sharjah includes
E 88 - Al Dhaid Road connecting the Emirate of Fujairah.
E 102 - Sharjah - Kalbah Road - Connecting Fujairha and Kalba.
E 303 - Dubai - Sharjah
E 311 - Sheik Mohammad Bin Zayed Road - connecting Dubai, Ajman and RAK.
E 11 - Al Ithihad Road - Connecting Dubai.
E 611 - Emirates Road - connecting Dubai, Ajman and RAK
E 700 - Dubai - Sharjah - Fujairah
S 12 - Maliha Road.
Taxis in Sharjah are clean, well maintained and reasonable.[citation needed] Sharjah Public Transportation Corporation is organizing and supervising the operations of taxis in Sharjah Emirate. Sharjah taxi service is provided through franchise companies. They cover all parts of the Emirate and cities, including shopping centres, residential areas and airport. Following are the major taxi operators in the emirates.

The UAE culture mainly revolves around the religion of Islam and traditional Arab culture. The influence of Islamic and Arab culture on its architecture, music, attire, cuisine and lifestyle are very prominent as well. Five times every day, Muslims are called to prayer from the minarets of mosques which are scattered around the country. Since 2006, the weekend has been Friday-Saturday, as a compromise between Friday's holiness to Muslims and the Western weekend of Saturday-Sunday.[37]
The Ruler of Sharjah ordered the establishment of several cultural institutions. The projects covered conservation of cultural heritage, active interaction with other cultures, construction of museums and the other cultural, scientific and artistic centres in the Emirate and the setting up of a television satellite channel that reflects and projects the value of culture.[citation needed]
In 1998, Sharjah was awarded the "Cultural Capital of the Arab World" title by UNESCO representing the United Arab Emirates. Sharjah has kept the spirit of its history alive by indicatively incorporating tradition into every aspect of contemporary development.[38]
A cultural heritage project, Heart of Sharjah, has been undertaken to preserve and restore the old town of Sharjah and return it to its 1950s state. A five-phase project intended for completion in 2025, the project is being undertaken by the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority, Shurooq, together with Sharjah Institute for Heritage, the Sharjah Museums Department, and the Sharjah Art Foundation.[39].
Sharjah International Book Fair is a cultural event held every year in Sharjah. It started in the year 1982 and now it attracts publishers, readers and speakers from all over the world.[citation needed]

Sharjah is the headquarters of Air Arabia, the first low-cost airline in the Middle East, which operates to the Middle East, Asia and Europe. The headquarters is in the Sharjah Freight Center,[40] on the property of Sharjah International Airport.[41]
Sharjah Airport International Free Zone, popularly known as SAIF Zone, is one of the prominent free-trade zones in UAE. More than 6000 companies operates from SAIF Zone. The cost of setting up business in Sharjah is less than in any other emirates of UAE, and the focus of industrialisation has in recent years turned Sharjah into a commercial centre. Thanks to the facility of 100% foreign ownership, repatriation of capital and profits and exemption from income and corporate taxes, SAIF Zone has attracted investors from more than 90 countries.
Hamriyah Free Zone: Established in 1995, it offers competitive and unique opportunities to establish business in a tax-free environment, full company ownership, exemption from all commercial levies and repatriation of capital and profits. The Free Zone provides access to a 14 meter deep water port and a 7 meter deep inner harbor.
According to 2015 census conducted by department of statistics and community development in Sharjah, the total population of the emirate is 1.40 Million. Expatriates constitute 87% of the total population. As per the census the total number of Emirati population is only 175,432. The population density of the Emirates is 341 person per km2.
Like the rest of UAE, Arabic is the official and national language of the emirate. English is used as a second language; Tagalog and South Asian languages such as Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam are spoken widely by the residents of emirates. Islam is the predominant religion in the Emirate of Sharjah.

Reprinted from: Hortus Plant Propagation from Cuttings, a guide to using plant rooting hormones by foliar and basal methods.
By: Joel Kroin, President, Hortus USA Corp.
Plant researchers had long known that plants produce chemicals that cause to divide and become roots. In 1934 Thimann and Went identified IAA (Indole-3-acetic acid), a rooting hormone, now called auxin. IAA is produced in the leaves of plants and is found in other plant parts. It is unstable and degrades rapidly in the presence of light and heat. More stable than IAA, the bio-simulators IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) and (Naphthalene acetic acid) are the commercially used rooting compounds. IBA and NAA are stable and remain active for use by plants over a long time. IBA and NAA are known to induce plant cells to form adventitious roots. Of the three, IBA is the most useful auxin to propagate plants from cuttings.
cell to cell in various parts of the plant, vascular cambium, pro-cambial strands and perhaps the epidermal cells.
• tropic responses (bending) that is sometimes noticed on tender leaves when using foliar applied auxins.
• In some cases, the effect of excess auxin is to inhibit growth (1).
To induce root formation, early investigators and growers until today have applied the auxins to the basal end of the cuttings.
Dry compounds: Dry powder auxin compounds and solutions containing auxin were found to be useful. The auxins are blended with a carrier, usually talcum powder. Early users also mixed the auxins with powdered charcoal.
Liquid compounds: Common forms of the auxins are soluble in active solvents like alcohol. The solutions made with the auxins were first used in low concentration basal soaks.
Using rooting solutions at low concentrations, early literature describes the basal long soak method. The basal end of the cuttings are immersed in the solution, at a few ppm auxin, for a few hours to several days. The method is successful on many kinds of plants. It has been used on soft herbaceous to woody ornamental plants. Later, the basal quick dip method was developed. The basal end of the cuttings are immersed in the auxin solution for a few seconds. The method uses auxin rates much higher than the basal long soak method. Alcohol as the solvent is need to make solutions of the auxins.
Early users found alcohol to cause phytoxicity to plant cells and case mortality to the cuttings. The water soluble salts of the auxins was not as well adopted. Therefore, the auxin solutions were used at low rates to allow use of low concentrations of the alcohol.
leaf contribution to root formation. In 1946, van Overbeek observed that the action of the natural plant rooting hormone in the leaves of plants is essential for plant cuttings to form roots at the basal ends. The rooting hormones are transported from the leaves to the basal end. The basal end is a wound sink point of cuttings.
Both IBA and NAA have been found useful as single component applied auxins Of the three auxins, IBA has been most the most used for foliar application. Eigenraam at Rhizopon found that the combination of IAA and NAA, and IBA and NAA are effective on pot rose propagation.
As the natural fluid in the plant structure, water was selected by Rhizopon as the carrier for the plant rooting hormones for foliar applications of rooting hormone solutions. While alcohol is another solvent for rooting hormone compounds it was not selected. Alcohol can be phyto-toxic to plant tissues since it will dehydrate plant cells and cause the mortality; this phenomenon is commonly called 'alcohol burns'.
Two physiologically distinct, and spatially separated pathways, function to transport auxins over long distances through plants.
• the secondary body through the phellogen, and the cambium.
Auxin solutions enter the stomata rapidly and are captured in the leaves and stems of the plants. The solutions are able to freely move down the leaves and stems toward the rooting site sink point. The speed of travel of the solution is influenced by plant variety, hydration and irradiance. Once the induced solution is in the plant system there is no critical amount of time for the auxin to translocate to the rooting site. After auxins in the plant system operations, such as misting of leaves, can resume.
Water based rooting solutions, with auxin compounds such as IBA, can be applied to the leaves of plant cuttings. The solution enters the vascular system of the plant through open stomata. Auxins translocate polarly through the stems to the basal end of the cutting. IBA can be converted by the plant to IAA, by slow bio-transformation, and utilized by the cutting to make new roots at the basal end.

'Returnships' Could Help Government Tech Recruiting Efforts
Moms in the technical field who take time off from work might think their chances of re-entering the workforce are slim. However, private companies are offering "returnships" for parents who've left work to raise children, and the public sector could use these programs as well.
Companies such as GoDaddy, Instacart, IBM, General Motors, Paypal, and Demandbase have incorporated or are starting return-to-work internships geared toward adults who've had to leave work to become the primary caregiver of a child. By leveraging the resources of career re-entry companies such as Path Forward and iRelaunch, government agencies have the opportunity to use this idea to fill the gap in their information technology workforce.
Companies and agencies can also use returnships to recruit more female employees to the technology sector even though return-to-work programs are open to both male and female participants.
"By default you are dealing with a population that is mostly female," said Carol Fishman Cohen, CEO of iRelaunch.
Cohen said that government agencies could start a return-to-work program the same way that large companies like IBM and General Motors do, which is to start with a small group of hires in the same geographical location.
IBM hired six data scientists in April through returnships and hired all of them to continue working for the company. This month, IBM will continue the program in more locations with more people, according to Cohen.
"We think that the government could pilot the program in a similar way," Cohen said.
The government should also begin return-to-work programs with managers that are good mentors, can spot unique talent, and have more imagination, according to Tami Forman, executive director of Path Forward.
"Start with managers that have an open-mindedness to the idea," Forman said.
That way these managers will work to get to know the employees participating in the program and have a better chance of hiring them to work longer for the agency.
Agencies should take existing open positions or programs and earmark them for returnships, according to Steven Aldrich, chief product officer and sponsor of the Path Forward program at GoDaddy.
In one case, the Navy ran a two-year rotational program in the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, which was geared toward typical college-aged interns. However, a few years ago, a person looking to re-enter the workforce applied and was accepted, according to Cohen.
"A way the government could tiptoe into return-to-work programs is to open up their existing internships to nontraditional applicants," Cohen said.
The technology field is the perfect venue for returnships because of the constantly evolving nature of the work.
"The pace of tech is really hard to stay on top of," Aldrich said.
Aldrich said this discourages some employees from re-entering the workforce, but a concerted internship program can get people up to speed that still have the talent and the people skills to work in the technology sector.
"At a fundamental level, things don't change as fast as we think they do," Forman said. "Government does not seem to change as quickly, so programs like these are great."
Forman said the private sector tends to innovate even quicker than the public sector, so Federal agencies wouldn't have to catch up new hires as much. Also, companies retrain every new employee on the specific systems and programs that they use, so a teaching period is to be expected of everyone.
"We believe that a caregiver's gap in employment should not hinder their job search," said Udi Nir, vice president of engineering at Instacart. "Potential returnees should be as qualified as any other candidate, but we should keep in mind that thorough onboarding to today's technology and processes is imperative to their success."
Return-to-work programs are competitive; therefore the people who find the most success are those who've taken courses on their own to get themselves back up to speed in their fields. Women who are likely to get hired are already credentialed, have some work experience, and have re-engaged with skills or newly acquired skills that they'll need at the job they're aiming for, according to Cohen.
Aldrich said the government should show support for employees at all points in their careers by offering a broad set of programs for them to stay engaged. Returnships could be one of these programs.
"The government could say, 'not only are we interested in you, but we're creating a formal way back in,' " Cohen said.

Q: How to unit test an event in MVP using MOQ and the repository pattern? I've had a look around and can't find anywhere to help me.
So the event on my view which I would like to unit test is my OnFormLoadEvent. It looks like this:
public partial class SystemVariablesForm : Form, ISystemVariablesView {

        private SystemVariablesPresenter presenter;
        private readonly ISystemVariablesManager manager;

        public SystemVariablesForm(ISystemVariablesManager _manager) {
            manager = _manager;
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public float BindingLip {
            get {
                return (float)nudBindingLip.Value;
            }
            set => nudBindingLip.Value = (decimal)value;
        }
        public float HeadTrim {
            get {
                return (float)nudHeadTrim.Value;
            }
            set => nudHeadTrim.Value = (decimal)value;
        }
        public float FootTrim {
            get {
                return (float)nudFootTrim.Value;
            }
            set => nudFootTrim.Value = (decimal)value;
        }

        public string ErrorMessage {
            get {
                return lblErrors.Text;
            }
            set => lblErrors.Text = value;
        }
        public event EventHandler<EventArgs> SetSystemVariables;

        public event EventHandler<EventArgs> OnFormLoad;
        public event EventHandler<ErrorEventArgs> LogErrorToView;
        public event EventHandler<EventArgs> SetImpositionFormAsActive;

        private void SetSystemVariables_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            //Have to do this to avoid a dependency injection loop as the view relies on the presenter and the presenter relies on the view
            presenter = new SystemVariablesPresenter(this, manager);
            try {
                OnFormLoad(this, e);
            }
            catch (Exception ex) {
                LogErrorToView(this, new ErrorEventArgs(ex.Message));
            }
        }
    }

This then gets picked up in my presenter in this method:
private void DisplaySystemVariables(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    try {
        SystemVariables variables = _systemVariablesManager.ReturnSystemVariables();
        _view.BindingLip = variables.BindingLip;
        _view.HeadTrim = variables.HeadTrim;
        _view.FootTrim = variables.FootTrim;
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
        LogErrorToView(this, new ErrorEventArgs(ex.Message));
    }
}

This calls my manager:
  public class SystemVariablesManager : ISystemVariablesManager {
        private ISystemVariablesRepository _systemVariablesRepo;
        public SystemVariablesManager(ISystemVariablesRepository systemVariablesRepo) {
            _systemVariablesRepo = systemVariablesRepo;
        }
        public Models.SystemVariables ReturnSystemVariables() {
            return _systemVariablesRepo.ReturnSystemVariables();
        }

        public void SetSystemVariables(Models.SystemVariables systemVariables) {
            _systemVariablesRepo.SetSystemVariables(systemVariables);
        }
    }

Which in turn calls my repository:
   public Models.SystemVariables ReturnSystemVariables() {
            if (File.Exists(expectedFilePath)) {
                var json = JObject.Parse(File.ReadAllText(expectedFilePath))["SystemVariables"];
                return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Models.SystemVariables>(json.ToString());
            }
            else {
                throw new Exception("Setup file not located. Please run the Inital Set up application. Please ask Andrew for more information.");
            }
        }

Now I need to test this event using unit tests, I have chosen MOQ but I'm unsure how I can use it to test this.
My unit test looks like this so far:
  [TestClass]
    public class SystemVariablesPresenterTests {

        [TestMethod]
        private void OnFomLoad() {
            var mockView = new Mock<ISystemVariablesView>();

            mockView.Raise(r => r.OnFormLoad += null, new EventArgs());

            Assert.IsNotNull(mockView.Object.HeadTrim);

        }
    }

How do I modify my unit test to call the repository/manager like the above steps?
Sorry, very new to this.

A: The mocked view is only your mock. You will also need to create the test target, which should be the presenter. I suppose there is a way to connect the mock view to the real presenter. You will also need to decide the boundary of your unit which is usually only the presenter. Then you will need to mock the external dependencies. Since the boundary is only the presenter, the manager is an external dependency which needs to be mocked. Basically you are only testing, when your mocked view fires an event, what your test target(the real presenter) is doing to the mocked manager. The repository is not involved in this process.
You can also take an pragmatic approach, and decide that the unit is the presenter and the manager combined together. Then the repository becomes an external dependency and needs to be mocked. Then you will be testing when the mocked view fires and event, what the test target(the real presenter + manager) is doing to the mocked repository.

1. Received an Offer in Compromise, or an OIC was submitted.
8. The EIN# was closed for business with 941 tax balance, to maximize chances that the owner is NOT assessed.
9. We determined that no current action was necessary on a tax case -- we hoped that the tax would expire, e.g..
These are nine of many different forms of tax resolution that my customers receive.
On the other hand, 45 of the 403 cases I've had in the last two years were CLOSED.
1. Death, sickness, addiction, etc.
4. Laziness -- the IRS was NOT aggressive, so they decided to put off resolution with us.
Of the remaining 130 cases? We are still working on them!!!


Phase 2 of Microsoft's 'Project Natick' has been initiated at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney with the deployment of an underwater data centre powered by renewables. Naval Group led the installation of the 450kW subsea data centre at EMEC's Billia Croo wave energy test site, on the west coast of the Orkney mainland, with local marine contractor Green Marine.
Project Natick is a Microsoft research project investigating the numerous potential benefits that a standard, manufacturable, deployable undersea data centre could provide. The project is part of Microsoft's ongoing quest for cloud data centre solutions that are less resource intensive and offer rapid provisioning, lower costs, and high agility to meet the needs of cloud users around the world.
Deepwater deployment offers ready access to cooling, a controlled environment, and has the potential to be powered by co-located renewable power sources, such as the pioneering wave and tidal energy technologies testing nearby at EMEC's test sites.
The data centre, which is as powerful as several thousand high end consumer PCs and has enough storage for about five million movies, is anticipated to remain on site for around one year with the potential to remain at EMEC for up to five years.
