The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of the cost of peace, militancy and unrest or peace accounting on the productivity of firms in Nigeria. To achieve this purpose, Niger-Delta region was used as the case study, hypothesis was raised and a review of extant literature and theoretical framework was made. In order to generate the necessary data for this study, the secondary method of data collection was employed and a longitudinal survey designed for a period of ten (10) years i.e. 2003-2012 was adopted. The data for the study were generated from the Central Bank of Nigeria's Statistical Bulletin of 2009. The result of the researchers' analysis showed that cost of peacekeeping in the Niger-Delta region of Nigeria has a significant negative impact on the productivity of firms in Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that to eliminate cost of peace-enthronement in the Niger-Delta region and consequently improve the economic development of Nigeria, the federal government and her parastatals as well as the multinational oil companies should pay special attention to the Niger-Delta question by making provision for higher level of infrastructures (electricity, good roads, efficient communication systems, portable water, employment opportunities, scholarship awards, etc) to the people.

Overview | Special Libraries Cataloguing, Inc.
For over three decades Special Libraries Cataloguing has been serving libraries internationally, receiving mailed, couriered, or digital copies of the front and back of title pages with collation (number of pages or volumes) noted. For nonbook materials, copies of the items' container, labels, inserts, or any available accompanying material are used. Remote electronic resources are catalogued on the basis of supplied URLs, or PDF files. More detailed instructions for preparing photocopies will be provided on request.
All non Roman scripts are romanized, as opposed to being in original script.
MARC records can be provided in French (French descriptive notes, RVM French subject headings above English ones), or in Spanish (Spanish descriptive notes, Bilindex/Oakland Spanish subject headings above English ones).
SLC provides cataloguing in publication data for publications which fall outside the scope of either the Library of Congress or Library and Archives Canada CIP programs.
Publishers and aggregators of electronic resources (monographs, serials, and websites), find that libraries expect them to provide MARC records. The preparation of records for electronic resources is an increasing part of SLC's work. MARC21 records can be prepared for $11.00 per record; UKMARC records can also be supplied at $6.00. to find out how to send spreadsheets with needed information.
Products include RDA/MARC21 (machine readable cataloguing) records via FTP, HTTP or Email. Much less common now are labels (for circulation card, pocket, and spine), and "temps" (temporary 3 x 5 inch cards). We have ceased producting catalogue cards, microfich catalogues, and print catalogues, since our clients adopted OPACs.
Cataloguing follows the provisions of RDA with enhancements, e.g., names of firm members who speak at symposia as added entries, and jurisdictional qualification of all cities of publication. SLC attempt to avoid RDA "not identified" phrases.
Classifications available include LCC (Library of Congress Classification), DDC (Dewey Decimal Classification), NLM (National Library of Medicine Classification) in conjunction with LC or alone, UDC (Universal Decimal Classification), Moys (A Classification Scheme for Law Books), and KF Mod (KF Classification Modified for Use in Canadian Law Libraries), as well as Canadian FC and PS8000.
Subject headings available are LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings) and MeSH (NLM's Medical Subject Headings). Local subject headings may be requested.
We have loaded records, where no matching OCLC record exists, into libraries' OCLC accounts, allowing the library to receive the credit for an original record. We would of course need the library's account number and password. There is a $1.00 per record charge for this service (which is less that the credit received).
SLC provides conversion and MARC enhancement services, including conversion to and from XML, XLS, CVS, ONIX and other native formats employed by various integrated library systems. Contact us for more information.
SLC offers catalogue hosting, for those who would like to avoid the cost of software purchase or license, and local maintenance. The SLC hosted catalogue offers the advantages of a default ISBD display (free of inaccurate labels, e.g., calling criminal defendants, performers, editors, translators, etc., "Authors"); and of a full MARC display. There are simple and detailed searches. for more information.
To begin using our services, the library would need a letter code representing the library system, or one for each location in the system. This code normally prints under the call number in products. For example, the code IAEA is used by the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria; codes beginning MB are used for the various collections of McMillan Binch, a law firm in Toronto.
for more information on using the cataloguing services of our twenty expert distance cataloguers.
The following prices are averaged to include derived and original cataloguing, and are adjusted for the varying percentage of original records, and complexity of records, in different types of libraries. Prices include MARC records provided on digital media, via HTTP or FTP.

Q: What does cloning a GitHub repository mean? I am trying to integrate Facebook with my app. I read this on developers.facebook.com:

*

*Install XCode

*Install Git

*Clone the GitHub repository with this command:
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git

I have installed XCode and Git.
What does it mean to clone a GitHub repository and how can I do that?

A: Cloning a git repository means that you create a local copy of the code provided by developer. You can simply do it with a command line:
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git .

and you'll have the code in the facebook-ios-sdk directory.

A: Cloning a git repository is basically downloading a code base to your own machine, so you can use, edit... this code base.
For doing it is as easy as creating a folder where you want to store this code, and then from the terminal execute from this folder:
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git .

A: Cloning a repository means that you're downloading a copy of the source code from source control.  To use the iOS SDK you have to download the code from GitHub (ie- clone the iOS SDK repository).
Type
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git [path to where you want to save sdk]

from a shell / command prompt.

A: To clone a repository means to duplicate and download everything in the repository.
You are on a Mac, so launch Terminal, create a folder and type this command:
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git

It will duplicate and download the entire repository.

A: Cloning basically means you want to get a local copy of the code present in the repository.
After cloning you can then do whatever changes you like in the code and then you can pull the changes back to the repository

A: clone the repo
Cloning  = means copying
Repo  = is short form of Repository which is the complete files of the project
Create a folder, Open terminal and take the path into that folder where you want to save the repo, and then run this command
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git

This command will download all the files to that folder
Welcome in Advance

Britain's leading international female showjumper, Laura Renwick from Maldon in Essex, scooped both the Leading Rider and Leading Lady Rider Awards at the CSI3* in Bethune, France after a stylish win in yesterday's Grand Prix.
With her own and John Renwick's 9 year-old bay gelding Bintang II, Laura lived up to her Queen of Speed title after the combination produced a blistering jump off round in the CSI3* Bethune 1.50m Grand Prix to secure the top spot with a double clear in 42.26 seconds.
Laura and Bintang II fought off the challenge from fifty-nine other combinations to take home the lion's share of the €45,000 prize pot and in a seven horse jump off, they took the win with a second and a half to spare.
Spectators were given much to celebrate after home riders finished up in second, third and fourth place. Nicolas Delmotte and Darmani van't Heik were Laura and Bintang's nearest rivals following a double clear performance in 43.82 seconds. Alexandra Francart with Quelstar Du Vic Bi and Alexandra Paillot with Polias De Blondel took third and fourth, also with double clears, in 45.62 seconds and 45.93 seconds respectively.
Ben Maher delivered the last of the double clears with Jane Clark's 9 year-old bay mare Sarena II to finish in fifth on 47.92 seconds.
A 'Superstar' performance at the Redwings Show!
From novice horses and riders to veterans, heavy horses to Shetlands, the 2015 Redwings Show proved a great day enjoyed by all.
On Sunday 17th May, Redwings Horse Sanctuary welcomed over 125 competitors to their annual show at Topthorn Equestrian Centre in Suffolk. Participants competed in more than 50 classes including TARRA, DBS affiliated and the highly anticipated heavy horse classes – a first for the Redwings Show, now in its sixth year.
The 2015 Supreme Championship went to Amelia Short and her impressive nine-year-old hunter Cairnside Houdini (pictured below). "He's a superstar!" commented Amelia. "Today is only the fourth time we've jumped together, I'm so happy" – and amazingly the pair have only been partnered since February this year. As well as being Working Hunter Champions, they also took the Open Working Hunter over 15hh class under judge Fiona Hirst.
Hallie Booty with her Highland Macallumdene were Reserve Champions overall; they took the Mountain and Moorland Large Breeds class and were Ring One champions as judged by Adam Pike. Ring One reserve champions Anna Chaplin and Primitive Poirot also had a great show this year having placed first in all four of their classes – Riding Horses and Coloured/Palomino/Spots in Ring One, and Coloured Working Hunter Horse/Pony and Working Show Horse in Ring Five.
Classes aimed at novice riders in Ring Two and judged by Aaron Foster proved hugely popular this year with the championship taken by Victoria Hawkes and Monarchill Cercean, and reserve Chantelle Foulger with Dora. Another stand-out pairing in Ring Two was Wootton Heath Breeze and rider Joanne Cann who won the Novice Rider Walk and Trot class and the Novice Handler class.
Ring Three was host to our ever-popular fun classes and were judged by Redwings' Head of Veterinary and Care Nicky Jarvis, who enjoyed the event as much as the competitors. Among notable winners Prettiest Mare Trefelwind Kiss Me Kate, Longest Mane and Tail Teddy Bear (who also had a suitably impressive moustache to boot) and My Best Friend Parlington Uhlan, was the glorious Hartscrest Buccaneer (otherwise known as Basil) who with Ruth Everard won Best Condition Ridden.
Ring Four saw the introduction of one of the two new heavy horse classes for 2015 with Clydesdale Mac taking Heavy Horse In-Hand and reserve Ring Four Championship. The Ring Four Championship went to Melin Papur Heaven Sent and Aaron Calver as judged by Janet Smithers.
The donkey classes, judged by Jane Etheridge, were as popular as ever this year with the championship going to Wendy Sawyer's two-year-old stallion Justa Cuzican who was the winner of the Youngstock class, while reserve was the winning mare East Lodge Daisy with handler Diana Dunstan.


Sebi has ordered attachment of bank and demat accounts as well as mutual fund holdings of Micro Leasing and Funding Ltd and its four directors to recover dues worth over Rs 580 million.
The four directors are Upendra Nath Mishra, Durga Prasad Mishra, Kali Prasad Mishra and Banaja Pattnaik.
The recovery proceedings were initiated by the markets regulator after the entities failed to pay the amount to the investors collected through unregistered collective investment scheme (CIS).
Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in an order directed the banks to attach all accounts, including lockers held by the entities.
Also, the watchdog has directed National Securities Depository and Central Depository Services (India) and all the mutual funds to attach their demat accounts and folios.
In 2016, Sebi had directed Micro Leasing and its directors to refund the money after it found that the company mobilised Rs 580 million from more than 50,000 investors through issuance of redeemable preference shares in contravention of public issue norms under Companies Act.
In separate rulings, Sebi has ordered attachment of bank and demat accounts and mutual fund folios of four companies to recover amount of around Rs 800,000.
The four firms are Violet Media Pvt Ltd, Livingroom Furnitures LLP, Apogee Business Solutions and Gaparik Trade and Finance Resources.


There are more than a few Skin Care Clinics in Jodhpur that claim to alleviate Skin troubles like Acne, Hair Loss, Dry Skin, Psoriasis, Dark Circles, Pigmentation, and more. However, are such Jodhpur skin care clinics capable of doing what they say? Are the cures extended by them worthy of your time for anything? Could there be a superior option for you than spending countless hours wishing for a solution?
Jodhpur is recognised in the state of Rajasthan for its' Dry climate. As a result of such a climate, Skin issues have an impact on the majority of Jodhpuris in some form or the other. Skin troubles are commonly considered as topics not deemed worth discussion, and because of that, many people go for home remedies or self-prescribed medications (over the counter creams, gels and tablets) that make skin problems worse.
One more roadblock that many Jodhpuris face is finding a Skin Care Clinic that can help them with their particular Skin problem. You look things up online, read reviews, fix an appointment with the dermatologist, actually attend the appointment and yet you may not get relief from your ailment.
Skin problems might look minor on the outside, and this is specifically why most people simply go ahead and disregard them. However, treating Skin problems can only be done with proficiency and updated dermatological methods. Most Skin problems cannot be cured with outdated methods, and these are the methods that almost all Skin Care Clinics in Jodhpur utilise. It's hardly a surprise that such places are never able to treat most Skin problems.
For such major causes and others, we have launched the Cure Skin App. A revolutionary mobile application that guides you with getting any of the many Skin issues cured without making you visit pharmacy, a Skin Care clinic, or the hospital. It's easy and only requires a few taps of your phone!
First things first, you download the app on your phone. The app will then proceed to a screen where the advanced AI-backed engine will ask for answers to some questions pertinent to your skin condition, after you answer these questions and send over an image of your Skin condition, the Artificial Intelligence algorithm examines the data thoroughly and settles on the specific nature of your problem.
Right after the condition is recognised, the platform provides you with a tailor-made Skin Care regimen for 8-12 weeks which has been clinically recommended to solve your problem.
But then, there's more. A Skin Care Clinic (even an AI-powered one) is rather incomplete in lieu of the Skin Care Experts, right? And that is the reason why Cure Skin has built a team of effective and efficient Skin Care professionals who will oversee your treatment and will ensure that not only are your Skin issues fixed, but that they don't return to haunt you in the future.
So what's the wait for? Immaculate Skin health is close and it's well within your grasp. Get on board with the Cure Skin App and change your skin troubles into a figment of the past. Download now!


Shadow Warrior is a single-player FPS game developed by Flying Wild Hog. It's a modern take on what's it like to be a ninja mercenary today, only with demons being real and deadly.
The in-game character that you control is an assassin named Lo Wang. Your character is sent to retrieve an ancient katana and by acquiring it, you find out that the weapon can slay the immortals. Along the way, you also make a pact with a demon named Hoji and find out that there's in fact three pieces to your katana. You set out to find and combine them, slaying all kinds of unearthly creatures in your path!
Shadow Warrior offers a vast variety of firearms ranging from pistols to submachine guns and even rocket launchers. You can also use magical abilities and of course use your signature assassination tool — katana to slice and dice the monstrosities coming from the depths of the demon world!


How are you, Geekified readers? With January behind us, we're way into 2018, so we thought we'd do a 2017 summary. Here's the first part, where we talk about our music favourites.
This year saw a new release of Evanescence album which I was looking forward too. It is a departure from their signature "Gothic rock" sound. Nevertheless, it is surely interesting. On this album, we can hear old songs that are reimagined with a new blend of orchestra and electronic music. The band also introduces new songs, like the must-hear "Imperfection". We also did an article about the album, which can be found here.
The Birthday Massacre, for me, was the biggest discovery in 2017. They've been in the music scene for over a decade and I'm really surprised I never got into them before. I just knew some of the remixes they did for Mindless Self Indulgence, which, by the way, were awesome! Their newest album "Under Your Spell" took me by surprise. This group has a haunting melancholic sound by blending a lot of musical genres, including but not limited to electronic, synthpop, punk, rock, emo and 80s pop. You can also notice recurring visual themes, especially the use of violet colour that represents their sound. And also bunnies, for some reason.
Fall Out Boy once again release a new album and this one is a blend of music styles. These boys no longer play emo music, but rather a variety of music genres. Some songs sound like pop, while others resemble a more contemporary pop-rock sound. My favourite song off the album is the maniac "Young And Menace" that has an awesome blend of rock, electronic and even some dubstep. The song starts in very calm fashion and then flips over with crazy sounds. Gotta drop that bass and go MENACE.
While in today's pop music world Taylor Swift sings about her reputation, Lorde sings about subjects to which we can all relate: expectations, hopelessness, anxiety, happiness, disappointment, dreams and a bit of a heartbreak. Just like the real life, this album is full of emotions: happy, sad and everything in between. All of this music is wonderfully wrapped in an album called "Melodrama". If you're seeking for a really good modern day pop music that has a deep meaning within lyrics, search no further and give this album a shot! All songs are written by Miss Lorde herself.
Also, everyone can relate to Lorde. She is and feels different from all the generic pop stars, and doesn't let the fame get to her. She is truly a wonderful and unique person.
After a long break, GusGus released another new song, called "Featherlight". As usual, this song is a masterpiece in their own music genre with beautiful hypnotic sounds and lyrics.
This band from Iceland was an unexpected discovery for me in 2016. I instantly fell in love with their unique melancholic electronic sound and those beautiful haunting vocals by lead vocalist Margrét Rán Magnúsdóttir. This year they released their first full-length album. I love to see how they evolve. This album is a perfect listen if you want to chill out and dive deep into their rich sounds. And, if you ever have a chance to hear them live – do it. Their live performance is like drugs in an audiovisual form. It kind of put your mind into the dream state and keeps you hypnotised and relaxed. The best song off this album is definitely "Show Me", which will appeal to wider audiences. It will send you to complete tranquillity and ease your mind.
Nothing But Thieves – Another big personal music band discovery of 2017. While on the radio we have generic repetitive rock bands like Coldplay or Imagine Dragons, Nothing But Thieves brings that raw and fresh energy into today's rock scene. Just check this song from their new album – Amsterdam! The beats are infectious and the lyrics are felt from the bottom of the heart!
The keyboardist from Devo composed the music. I think I'm lost in 80's synth.
I planned to make a review on the album but I never got around it when it came out. It's like an Opera but in musical form. The story is SciFi. It takes place before Earth where people give control to an artificial intelligence. The heavy metal and straightforward storyline made this album like a dream come true. Prog and metal fans rejoice!
When we were unsure if we would see another album from Kesha, this surprised me in 2017 because I hadn't been keeping up with her. I'm happy she put music out there again after the troubles with Sony. Happy to have her back. Enjoyed the album, too.
One of Giacchino's best work to date. Emotional, powerful and exceptionally beautiful, it made me teary in an instant.
Gregson-Williams achieved something really amazing: not only did he manage to incorporate Zimmer's instantly iconic theme so that it would not overshadow his own work, but also composed a score that would not leave my mind – I catch myself on humming his tunes almost every day. Last time it happened to me was with the amazing score to "Cloud Atlas" by Tom Tykwer and Johnny Klimek.
You might say Williams gets repetitive on his latest Star Wars soundtrack and you may be right – there are just three new themes here. But the thing with music based on leitmotifs is to use the previously composed material in a new way and that's just what Williams does. Combining familiar tunes in unexpected ways and thus highlighting crucial elements of the film. The effect, if you try to listen carefully, is tremendous.
Zimmer and Walfisch's music to the sequel of "Blade Runner" is, on one hand, a homage paid to Vangelis (the composer who wrote the music for the original film) and, on the other, an expansion upon it. Very interesting, modern and brave soundtrack.
It's not a music you would like to listen on repeat, but what matters here is the concept. The ticking of the clock, the disturbing, intensifying sounds make you feel the dangerous atmosphere of Dunkirk and gives birth to a whole range of emotions.

In 1975, Lowell had come through decades when its prospects were not good. But change was stirring. A university was emerging from the city's two colleges. A national park was looking less like a hope than a possibility.
The high tech sector of the regional economy was gaining. Into this environment came a self-help idea for Lowell's own economy. Bring the banks together and pool capital to spur investment with moderate risk. The initial capitalization resulted in $350,000 being made available over a two-year period to create a revolving loan program. With the passage in 1975 of Chapter 844, of the Acts of the General Court of Massachusetts, the LDFC was on its way.
It worked. Block by block the downtown began to see renewed business activity. Discarded buildings were brought back online as productive addresses. Confidence was catchy. Better bottom lines lifted the collective spirit. Ambition replaced resignation. "Can do" knocked out "Won't work." The city's whole mood shifted. It took a lot of minds and hands and dollars to achieve the turnaround, but there is no denying the pivotal role played by the LDFC.

How to Pick a Small Business 401(k) in 6 Simple Steps
This article was written by Kevin Busque, cofounder and CEO of Guideline. Square Payroll has partnered with Guideline to offer affordable, integrated retirement benefits to small businesses.
By Square
In America, the likelihood of a comfortable retirement is not assured. Research by the Economic Policy Institute indicates that only about half of workers have any retirement savings, and the average savings for families approaching retirement is just $17,000. Half of small business employees in the private sector don't even have access to a retirement plan. So if you're a small business owner who currently doesn't offer a 401(k), there's no better time than the present.
Offering a 401(k) sends a clear message to your employees that you care about — and are willing to invest in — their future. But getting started isn't always easy. There are loads of options and very few of them are easy to understand. Many 401(k) offerings are laden with complicated fees that prohibit participants from understanding where their money is going and who's really benefiting from their investment.
As you can imagine, building Guideline 401(k) put me through a 401(k) information boot camp. In this post, I hope to provide Square sellers with the information they need to get started by outlining the first six steps you need to take.
What you need to do to establish a 401(k).
For businesses that are ready to take the plunge, the IRS website covers the actions you need to take to get everything set up. In the event you don't speak tax code, here's a more approachable look at what goes into setting up a 401(k) retirement plan.
Get Started with Square Payroll
Access benefits made for small businesses.
Step 1: Choose the plan type that's best for your business and its employees.
When choosing a plan type, one of the biggest considerations is how you want to prepare for annual nondiscrimination testing that's designed to make sure plans are just as accessible to entry-level employees — or those with lower compensation levels — as they are to executives.
Plans that require employers to make contributions to employees' 401(k) accounts tend to have an easier time passing the tests, and may even be exempt from testing if they're designed properly. Plans that don't require employer contributions cost your company less, but may be at risk of plan failure.
Here are three popular plan types, along with some pros and cons:
Traditional 401(k): Employers can choose between not contributing, making outright contributions, or matching a portion of the wages employees defer. An employer can also set up contributions that are subject to a vesting period. While all this flexibility is useful, a traditional plan must pass nondiscrimination testing each year.
Safe Harbor 401(k): This plan type is similar to a traditional plan and companies of any size can offer it, but it requires employers to make contributions above and beyond what their participants choose to defer. The contributions you offer must be of a certain amount (at least 3% of an employee's taxable wages) and vest immediately. By committing to making these contributions, a plan is exempt from nondiscrimination testing.
SIMPLE: SIMPLE, or Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees, is for businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Like Safe Harbor plans, SIMPLE plans require employers to make contributions to their participants' 401(k) accounts that vest immediately and are exempt from nondiscrimination testing.
There are very specific rules about how contributions are structured in these plans. It's all spelled out in our Safe Harbor 401(k) guide if you want to learn more.
Step 2: Adopt a written plan.
Once you've selected a plan type, you need to adopt a written document that — according to the IRS — "serves as the foundation for day-to-day plan operations." That language may sound a little intimidating, but your 401(k) plan administrator usually handles this paperwork for you.
Step 3: Arrange a trust fund for the plan's assets.
A plan's assets must be held in trust to ensure that they're used solely to benefit plan participants and their beneficiaries. In other words, all those employee and employer contributions need to be kept in a safe place and monitored by a designated trustee. This trustee is responsible for collecting the contributions, investing them, and issuing distributions.
Step 4: Develop a recordkeeping system.
It's important to maintain a reliable accounting of plan activity. This step helps you keep track of contributions, earnings and losses, plan investments, expenses, and benefit distributions from participants' accounts. If you have a plan administrator, they typically help you take care of recordkeeping. Doing a good job makes the preparation of the plan's annual reports and business tax returns easy.
Step 5: Provide plan information to participants.
As a plan sponsor, you are required to notify all eligible employees and beneficiaries about the 401(k) plan, in addition to any updates to it. Most often, this is accomplished via a summary plan description that's circulated on a recurring basis, detailing information about your plan and its benefits, along with other documents related to fees.
Step 6: Make 401(k) contributions easy with payroll integration.
Once the above steps are done, it's time for you and your employees to start saving. And there's some good news on that front: Modern technologies have made complicated, laborious 401(k) contributions a thing of the past. One way to make participating in a 401(k) plan simple for your employees is to choose a payroll provider that integrates directly with a 401(k) plan, like Square Payroll does with Guideline.
For Square sellers, the integration transfers information from Square Payroll to Guideline, making contributions automatic and eliminating the need to manage employee enrollment and send payroll contribution reports every pay period. The integration relieves you of many administrative burdens of the plan, allowing you to spend time focusing on what's most important: your business and its employees. To integrate Square Payroll with Guideline, follow these simple steps.
Feeling overwhelmed? We can help.
Feels like a lot to think about, doesn't it? Believe it or not, there's more to consider beyond these six steps. Once you determine the right plan for your business, you still need to navigate fiduciary responsibilities, compliance, and investment selection. But modern 401(k) plan administrators like Guideline can affordably automate nearly all of this on your business's behalf.
At Guideline, we encourage all Square sellers to speak with one of our retirement specialists to learn how we can help you and your employees save for a better retirement. You can schedule a free call with a specialist today here.

This set includes three universal joints (1/4", 3/8", 1/2") supplied in a vinyl storage roll.
All are well finished forgings with robust chrome plating.


Let's face it: we've always loved reading other people's letters.
Perhaps it's a bit of voyeurism, this glimpse into someone else's life; but more often than not, reading the correspondence of others—particularly of people we hold in esteem—leaves us with a humble understanding of how they lived in a day-to-day manner, how they expressed themselves to each other, and finally how they came to be the people we admire and strive to emulate.
And when the correspondence comprises love letters—well, so much the better! So we read the letters of Héloise to Abelard, John Adams to Abigail Adams, Joséphine to Napoléon, and we understand from them so much that's not available in history books or biographies.
The love letters exchanged between Saint Gianna Beretta and her husband, Pietro Molla, are no exception. Better than a theological treatise, these letters are a convincing proof that the way of holiness does not necessarily pass through religious life or the priestly ministry, but can unfold in the midst of the world, living one's own vocation as a Christian called to holiness with Christ in married life.
As we celebrate Valentine's Day with chocolates, flowers, and even diamonds, it's fitting to stop and think about what is behind all these declarations of love: the fact that we can love precisely because of God's love for us. The union of Christ and his Church is the most basic model of married life, a model of selflessness and courage.
"Thank you for giving me Gianna as the sweet companion of my life. Make our love grow ever greater, sweeter, and purer. Make me worthy of her, and may our family receive heaven's blessings; may we and our children be holy": this was my prayer to Jesus as soon as he had come into my heart, while at the same time I was moved by your devout recollection while you were talking to Jesus.
Their marriage was not easy. Gianna was a medical doctor; Pietro held a responsible position within a manufacturing company that required constant travel. None of their three children was robust in terms of health, and the parents were constantly worrying about them. Gianna was pregnant with their fourth child when she had to be operated on for a tumor of the uterus, and labor proved too much: she died soon after the baby was born.
It's about 10:30 pm and our beautiful little ones are sleeping tranquilly after enjoying the sunshine almost all day long. I say "almost" because it rained for a little while this afternoon. It's calm and clear now, though, and I can see the beautiful starry heavens. Adelaide, Cecco, and Zita left half an hour ago, happy after spending a lovely day with their beloved nephew and niece. I'm thinking of you traveling right now, your heart here with us.
Dear Pietro, it would be so wonderful to be able to be together, united, all of the time. Luckily, your vacation begins in only ten days: what joy!
Pierluigi misses you very much. How often he calls for you! How affectionate he is! When you're not here, he won't leave me for a moment: "Mamma . . . Mamma . . ." Maybe he's afraid I'll leave him like I did on Friday. How beautiful they are! Mrs. Valle was here for a while the other day and compared her three-year-old girl, who is much smaller and thinner than Pierluigi, to them. We must always be so grateful to the Lord for giving us two great treasures who are beautiful, healthy, and robust. Mariolina is even doing better now—thanks be to God! I go to church every morning to thank God for all the graces he is continually giving us, and to ask him to help me be a good mother and to make you happy every moment.
Take care of yourself, my Pietro. I wish you buon viaggio in Spain: enjoy your trip and don't feel sad about being far away from us.
Both Gianna and Pietro were involved with the Catholic Action movement, which emphasized prayer, action, and sacrifice. It seems clear that both of them took these directives to heart. Through their professional lives, their volunteer work, their marriage and their lives as parents and spouses, they showed the world the possibility of a life that mirrors the mystical union between God and humanity. Their letters serve to remind us that we, too, are called to sanctity, no matter what path in life we have chosen.
The Journey of Our Love is a collection of the letters exchanged between Gianna and Pietro, letters that reflect the holiness of everyday lives and the concern that they had for each other, their children, their extended families, and the world. It is an inspiring look at the holiness of life lived to the fullest and a testament to love within the partnership of marriage.
Why not let the love of Gianna and Pietro revive the love in your own life! Touching, inspiring, and refreshingly human, their exchanges during this brief time reflect the everyday experiences and the abounding love of a modern day couple. Offering glimpses into their courtship, engagement, and marriage, they fill a significant chapter in the book of Christian spirituality. They reveal that the way of holiness can unfold in the midst of this world.


THE hilarious yet poignant play The Dresser is coming to Bolton next week.
The story follows the lives of two men, both dedicated to the theatre and both inextricably linked to each other.
One a great Shakespearean actor, now at the end of his career, and the other his faithful assistant and the 'dresser' of the title —the theatrical equivalent of a valet.
Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, the actor 'Sir' — his real name is never discovered — is touring Britain raising morale with his theatrical company and their production of King Lear with him in the lead role and his wife as 'Cordelia' while the might of the German Luftwaffe rages overhead.
His loyal dresser of thirty years 'Norman' must guide his master through the vicissitudes of an actor's life, particularly now in the twilight if his career as he himself struggles to realise how important 'Sir' has become to him.
Ronald Harwood based his play on his own experiences as the dresser to the actor / manager Sir Donald Wolfit in the 1950s.
And Jolyon should know - not only has he been a professional actor himself, he actually worked with Harwood himself during his career.
Peter Scofield, who plays 'Sir', recalls seeing the debut performance of The Dresser at the Royal Exchange in 1980.
He said:"I never thought then that I'd get the chance to play the monstrous but somehow magnificent role of 'Sir' in this play.
"But it's certainly a privilege to play the part and with a terrific company, and not least to be directed by Jolyon."
Gary Carrol plays 'Norman', the eponymous 'Dresser' of the title.
The Dresser runs from April 8 to 13t at Bolton Little Theatre, Hanover Street, Bolton, BL1 4TG. Tickets available from the Bolton Little Theatre website or via phone (or in person) from the theatre. Phone 01204 524469.

Shikhar Dhawan - the batsman with swag
You bat like a king, get out like a king, says Dhawan after striking his second ton this Test series
By Anand Subramaniam in Articles 12 August 2017
Shikhar Dhawan is on a roll. The ball is hitting the sweet spot more often than not and he is making full use of it. If his 190 in the first Test at Galle was not enough, Dhawan backed it up with another whirlwind innings scoring 119 on day one of the third Test in Kandy. There is swag in his batting. Those deft touches and nudges with nonchalance are often overshadowed with the sheer pace in which he scores his runs. Toss the ball up and he would come down the track and hit you out of the park, pitch it slightly outside off and he would cut the ball to the fence with absolute ease. Some of these facets of his game were seen on a bright Saturday morning at the Pallekele stadium in Kandy as he paved his way to a 6th Test ton.
Along with KL Rahul, he put up a 188-run opening stand taking India to a position of advantage early on in the innings. Rahul unfortunately got out for 85, while Dhawan looked like getting a big score before he was out caught at square leg trying to go for a big shot. When asked if he regretted playing that shot or if Rahul was disappointed to get out in that fashion, Dhawan said, "I was saying jokingly that if you bat like a king, you should also get out like a king, you should not be dismissed like a soldier. If you have made runs aggressively, then you will get out that way too. That's how it is. I know I am an aggressive batsman, so I would rather get out that way than getting out in the slips and being defensive because that is not my natural game. My game, my planning is to keep scoring, it works for me. My strength is to score quickly and I like to play to my strengths."
Dhawan was impressive against the spinners as well. He used his feet well and also dealt with severity on occasions. Lakshan Sandakan, the Chinaman looked impressive but Dhawan was reading him well off the hand after trying to gauge him for a few overs. "Sandakan was bowling well. He was turning the ball and one odd ball was turning a lot. It was hard for me to pick his googly once or twice because I had not played him. It was my first time. But after I was set and once I saw him, then I knew what he was doing. I could pick his googly. His googly comes a bit slower than his normal delivery, so when you spend time, you realise things and you work according to that. He was turning the ball and that's why I was playing him more cautiously rather than being over-aggressive."
Dhawan acknowledged the fact that the pitch was not responsible for their (openers) mode of dismissals, in fact it was their intentions to go for the shots – to which there were no qualms. "The pitch is a bit on the slower side and does not have much of bounce in it. Rahul and myself played very nicely. We were playing our shots and got out, it was not as if we were getting out because of the pitch. The Sri Lankan bowlers bowled well and pulled the match a little bit on their side but we have got a decent score and good batsmen to go and score more runs tomorrow."
From 188 for no loss, India went on to end the day with 329/6. Dhawan was not too bothered about the team's loss of wickets in a hurry. "That happens. It's not that it has happened for the first time. We got a good start and still feel at the end of the day, 329 is a good score. It is a wicket where it is not spinning but it doesn't have bounce, so it's not easy to score runs out there. When Sri Lanka come out to bat, we are going to make sure that we squeeze them hard and not give away easy runs."

Our Team - Michael C. Genest
Michael Genest opened Genest Consulting in January of 2010 to provide advice, analysis and advocacy on fiscal and policy issues affecting state and local government. In January 2011, Genest added two partners, Brad Williams and Peter Schaafsma, and founded Capitol Matrix Consulting.
Prior to going into private practice, Mr. Genest served for four years as Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's chief financial policy advisor in his role as Director of the California Department of Finance. Since Governor Reagan's administration, only one person has served longer in that position.
Mr. Genest served on Governor Schwarzenegger's transition team and was sworn in as Chief Deputy Director for Budget in the Department of Finance on the first day of the Administration, in November 2003. He also served for six months as Undersecretary of the Health and Human Services Agency and as chief of administration at the inception of California's Corrections and Rehabilitation Agency.
Before joining Governor Schwarzenegger's Administration, Mr. Genest was the Director of the California Senate Republican Fiscal Office, reporting directly to Senator James L Brulte. Previously, he was the administrator of the state's public health programs, within the Department of Health Services and the Deputy Director for Welfare Programs in the Department of Social Services. Mr. Genest began his career in California state government with a ten-year stint in the non-partisan and highly regarded Legislative Analyst's Office, where he quickly rose to a management role. Before the Legislative Analyst's Office, Mr. Genest worked on transportation finance issues within Governor "Big Jim" Thompson's Bureau of the Budget in Illinois.
Mr. Genest received his master's degree from the University of California at Berkeley, Graduate School of Public Policy in 1980 and his Baccalaureate in Political Science from San Jose State University in 1978. Before that Mr. Genest was a journeyman carpenter in the Napa chapter of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.
He is married to Katherine Stafford Genest and has two sons, Thomas Genest and Dennis.

However much you earn it never seems to be enough. Even if your salary goes up it is soon taken up with higher mortgage repayments, the loan on that new car or that gym membership you signed up to in the new year. However, with a little bit of thought and commitment you can make your salary stretch further and enjoy every penny of your hard earned cash.
A large percentage of our salary is taken away before it ever reaches our bank accounts. Unfortunately you can't avoid paying tax but you can make sure that you are paying the right amount. There are many reasons why the taxman may be taking more than necessary such as the wrong tax code, a misunderstanding or your circumstances not being communicated properly. Give them a call and get it sorted.
There are a whole variety of credit cards that offer cashback on your purchases. Although it is only a small percentage, over a year it all adds up and is essentially free money. In the same way, make the most of any stores that offer points on purchases. You will be surprised how quickly they add up and some can be multiplied if you apply to the specific special offers.
Going to the supermarket is always expensive but by dropping a brand you can save up to a third on your grocery bill. For example, if you always buy named brands, buy the supermarket's own. You may be loathe to do this as you feel you are compromising quality but often you won't be able to tell the difference. Try it out and if you don't like something, swap back but it is likely to generally won't.
If you've ever heard the saying – 'look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves' then this is a good time to put it into practice. Every day put your lose change in a pot and it will soon add up. Then you can either take it to one of those coin change machines and get a nice little cash bonus, or dip into it every time you are just popping to the shops.
Be honest, how many things have you signed up to the last month that you really don't need? How about that gym membership you never use, for example. We often think that if we pay for something it will make us use it but it's just not true. The same goes for phone contracts. Do you really need 1000 minutes a month? Take a look at how much you actually use the things you are paying for and see if there would be more efficient way to do it.
So there are lots of ways to stretch your salary, they just take a bit of understanding and thought. Cutting back on small things and saving your pennies will soon add up to a big difference, While getting rid of any financial commitments that you don't make the most of will free up money to spend on something that you can make the most of.

A skeleton watch is a mechanical watch in which all of the moving parts are visible through either the front of the watch, the back of the watch or a small cut outlining the dial.

True 'skeletonization' also includes the trimming away of any non-essential metal on the bridge, plate, wheel train or any other mechanical part of the watch, leaving only a minimalist 'bare' skeleton of the movement required for functionality. Often, the remaining thinned movement is decorated with engraving. This can be with or without a dial face that allows the user to see through to the movement.

Designs also providing a glimpse of the movement but requiring less modification to the movement itself are the "semi-skeleton" design, with a partial cutaway of the watch face to view the workings of the movement underneath, and the "open heart" design, with a (usually circular) window to view the oscillation of the balance wheel, the "beating heart" of the watch. The "open heart" design is especially common on watches with a tourbillon complication, the better to show off what is regarded as an example of watchmaking virtuosity.

Some makers of mechanical skeleton watches and models include:
 Akribos
 Armitron
 Breguet
 Chopard
 Corum
 Invicta watch
 Festina
 Fossil
 Kenneth Cole
 Oris
 Orient Watch / Orient Star Watch
 Patek Philippe & Co.
 Rougois
 Sea-Gull
 Seiko
 Stührling Original
 Swatch
 Tao International
 Tissot Le Locle

Q: How to save cancellable in database Currently I try to save a cancellable from an Akka scheduler in my database.
I have an object that has two fields of the type Cancellable. (akka.actor.Cancellable)
private Cancellable warningTimer;

private Cancellable cancelTimer;

The problem now is that I can't save them into my database.
One solution would be to save the cancellable after serialization in Java and convert it back if I need it.
Another is to use Hibernate but for both ways I have to write my own cancellable class, right? (Sorry, I never made something like this before)
public class WarningTimer extends Cancellable {...}

Now the question is: Is there an easier, more performant way to set / get my cancellable in / from the database and if not which of the both options above is the preferable one?

Mah Joins Renewed Effort to Combat Wage Discrimination
Jan 29, 2019 | Mah
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – State Rep. Theresa Mah, D-Chicago, is fighting to crack down on corporations that pay women less than men doing the same job by sponsoring legislation that would prohibit employers from using an unfair practice that locks women and minorities into a lifetime of lower pay.
"It is unacceptable and unfair for an employer to compensate male and female employees differently when they are performing the same work, and yet it continues. Now is time to stop the practices that allow corporations to discriminate against women and people of color," said Mah. "Women in Illinois, on average, earn 79 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts, and the wage gap is even greater for minority women. It's beyond time we put an end to discriminatory pay practices that contribute to this disparity."
Mah is sponsoring House Bill 834, which amends Illinois' Equal Pay Act to bar employers from requiring jobs applicants to submit a salary history. Given historic pay inequality, Mah believes the measure will prevent low salaries from following women and minorities from job to job. Former Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed identical legislation last summer, and Mah is hopeful that it can now become law.
"It is my hope that with a new administration, we can finally work together to end wage inequality in Illinois," said Mah. "Illinois women need equal pay to provide for their families and save for the future, and we need to be doing everything we can to address ongoing wage disparities."
Mah is serving her second term representing the 2nd District, which includes the Chicago neighborhoods of McKinley Park, Pilsen, Chinatown, Bridgeport, Brighton Park and Back of the Yards. For more information, please contact Rep. Mah's district office at 872-281-5775.

Isn't it frustrating that many female scientists don't have Wikipedia pages? Anne Fausto-Sterling, a Brown University professor of biology and gender studies, and Maia Weinstock, a former student of Brown, are committed to beefing up Wikipedia's entries on female scientists.
On Ada Lovelace Day, an annual celebration of women and technology, the two awesome activists held an edit-a-thon with dozens of other students and faculty members. Fausto-Sterling and Weinstock kicked off the edit-a-thon by training attendees on adding and editing Wikipedia pages, then provided a list of female scientists they thought deserved Wikipedia pages. Armed with links to source materials, volunteers started editing away.
If you want to check out (or edit) some of the new Wikipedia pages, start with Anny Cazenave, a French space geodesist, or Ingeborg Hochmair, who developed one of the first cochlear implants.
Wikipedia is notorious for under-representing successful women, perhaps because fewer than 20% of the site's editors are female.

Top 10 Places to Visit
1 Old Québec
Stroll North America's oldest streets
Walk along the fortified walls surrounding this UNESCO World Heritage Site and admire the view from every angle. For all its 400 years of incredible history, it's still very much alive: magical in the winter and popping in the summer. Full of charming little streets and local shops, Old Québec is best visited on foot.
Don't miss:
Québec City's most famous landmark is also the most photographed hotel in the world. Whether you're just stopping by for a visit or staying for the night, it's well worth a visit!
Dufferin Terrace
Take a stroll along Dufferin Terrace for a magnificent view of the St. Lawrence River and Château Frontenac, as well as live entertainment in the summer and a toboggan run in the winter. Named in honour of Lord Dufferin, a governor general of Canada who loved Québec City, the terrace is so eternally popular that it has been expanded twice since it was first built. While you're there, hit up another historic site: the remains of the Saint‑Louis Forts and Châteaux, which lie beneath this iconic promenade.
The fortifications and gates
Did you know that Québec is the only walled city north of Mexico? The fortifications and four gates that surround the Old City will make you feel like you've travelled back in time.
Petit-Champlain
With its many local shops and enchanting ambiance, this charming pedestrian street is sure to win you over. Known for its concentration of art galleries and fine bistros, Petit‑Champlain is a bona fide memory maker.
This historical gem is where Québec City was officially founded. The unique period architecture testifies to the combined French and British influences so characteristic of the city's built environment.
The Plains of Abraham
On September 13, 1759, this giant urban park was the site of the famous Battle of Québec, the confrontation that decided Canada's fate when the French lost the city to the British.
The Citadelle
At the top of the famous Cap Diamant lies the biggest British fortress in North America. Built by the British between 1820 and 1850 to defend the city, the Citadelle is a remarkable military heritage site and home to the Musée Royal 22e Regiment, where you can learn all about the history of the regiment and the fortress.
Basilica Cathedral Notre-Dame de Québec
Located in the heart of Old Québec, this basilica cathedral was home to the first Catholic parish north of the Spanish colonies. Its important place in the city's history is reflected in its exceptional architecture.
2 Montmorency Falls
See a waterfall that's 30 metres higher than Niagara Falls
Whether you're riding the gondola, climbing the scenic stairway or crossing the suspension bridge, the views of the Montmorency Falls are simply breathtaking. Experience the power of nature, only 15 minutes from downtown.
The suspension bridge: From Manoir Montmorency, a path runs along the cliff's edge to the suspension bridge at the very top of the falls. Once on the bridge, you'll experience the overwhelming power of the falls as it rushes and roars beneath your feet.
The cable car: Take the gondola for more great views of the falls and a superb panorama of Île d'Orléans and Québec City.
The zipline: If you're a thrill-seeker, the double zipline will get you extremely close to the falls. Experience the adrenaline rush on your own or with a friend. You'll be talking about it for months!
The via ferrata: Explore the falls from a different angle along the via ferrata. It's safe, easy (no need to handle a carabiner), and gives you the chance to get up close to the falls along 3 different routes.
Montmorency Falls in winter: The Montmorency Falls turn into a playground for ice climbers in the winter (this activity does not take place in the Winter 2019-2020). As soon as the cold hits, the mist from the falls freezes into the famous "pain de sucre," or sugar loaf, an impressive natural ice formation.

Kayaking & canoeing: Explore the river valley aboard a canoe or kayak, just like the First Peoples who have navigated its waters for centuries. Floating on a river that's quiet and roaring by turns, you'll be blown away by the sheer size of the valley walls and the forest with its endless shades of green.
Jacques‑Cartier National Park in winter: When the park is covered in snow, it's time to pull out the snowshoes and fatbikes, enjoy the great outdoors, and do some backcountry skiing.

Time Pieces and Cabbages (Season 2, Episode 13)
With Heather deep in rehearsals for Footloose she was sadly unavailable this week. Fortunately, guest host Emily has graciously agreed to return to the campfire!
Ken has selected a story by Edgar Allan Poe, because it's October and Poe is good for spooky season. The story, maintaining the satanic theme of last week, is called "The Devil in the Belfry". It is, however, much less traumatizing than the last Poe story we read. If you would like to listen back to that episode (and really upset yourself) you can check it out at Edgar Allan Poe-nus Episode.
This is a surprisingly light story for a Poe crafted tale, so Ken and Emily are free to pontificate the usual absurdities.
Ken plans his Halloween costume.
Emily discovers she has a disappointingly good Dutch accent.
And both ponder the value of a pet Cabbage.
This week's episode sponsored by Kim Wilpon Crafts. Go check her out, say thank you, and tell her you want Ken to be a guest crafter on her YouTube Channel!
Also, here is that Pas de Zephyr video.
Now sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.

Winthrop's School Building Assistance Committee (SBAC) has created several subcommittees to oversee the creation of a new High/Middle School in the town, the first of which met Tuesday night at the Harvey Meeting Room.
The first meeting of the construction subcommittee discussed what their role will be as the school building moves forward.
SBAC co-chair Dave Dockendorf said the first meeting of this newly created subcommittee began laying the groundwork of the subcommittee's function.
Dockendorf said bids through a state Request for Proposal (RFP) process will be sent out hopefully in January and bids will be due soon after.
Once a contractor is selected the construction subcommittee will report to the general SBAC as well as its finance subcommittee on construction payments, overseeing schedules and construction benchmarks.
The group also elected David Girard to chair the construction subcommittee.
The cost of the project would be 82,950,000. The projected cost and cap set by Winthrop would be 42,975,000. The rest will be funded by the state.
