Zimbabweans; all they wish and hope for this Christmas is unfailing expectations///CRIMSON TAZVINZWA
Rain, rain and more rain.
An unselfish government, corrupt free government.
A government that is honest, has integrity and a conscience.
A government that is clean, efficient and honorable.
Zimbabwe's ruling party ZANU PF slaughered 150 cows during the annual conference held in Goromonzi, Mashonaland East Province District last week. President Mnangagwa's regime spent over $5 million to feed at least 7 000 delegates.
Commotion at Zanu PF congress: Varaidzo Mupunga Youth League Secretary for Adminstration being dragged away by Zanu PF "Green Bomber" militia youths.
"After all the pledges, we have started collecting 150 cattle that we are assured of getting. Starting from today (yesterday), the truck is already moving around collecting the cattle to be kept at a paddock near the conference venue."
Zanu PF Mashonaland East provincial secretary for administration Kudzai Majuru told reporters.
No more indirect genocide.
No more police beating peaceful protestors.
No more soldiers shooting unarmed citizens.
An outbreak of compassion for the people from the political elite.
And the one wish that the author of Letters From Zimbabwe – Catherine Buckle heard so many times, and which she empathise with;
"This Christmas with a government that simply does not and will not see the desperate anguish of the people, the best thing any of us can do is to not be overwhelmed but just try and help one person at a time."
This week many Zimbabweans are doing exactly that; and it is humbling.

Andy Hodges and Blessing Munatsi as they host a panel from politics and civil society, to discuss Zimbabwe's political dialogue. Will there be a final solution to Zimbabwe's problems?
Victoria Mujati–I am sick of hearing all these so called church leaders who are preaching about dialogue, I would suggest that before that dialogue Mnangagwa must step down then we as a country can move forward. You can hold so many of these so called platforms and lie to the nation.You can not insist on having a union between Zanu Pf and MDC that is not the solution the country needs.All I can say if you are a church leader and taking money from zanu pf you are part of the problem, if you are in the police and the army, you are part of the problem, why you killed people first and threaten their lives if the exercise their constitutional right. For the past 39 years zanu pf has been looting all the resources for themselves. Zanu pf needs to be taken to the ICC for defrauding the people of zimbabwe. Mnagwagwa did not win and he ignored the recommendations made by the EU as well as his own fake commission he appointed.He was handed the presidency by his judges in the constitutional court disregarding the constitution.

Cathy buckle letters from Zimbabwe///AIWA! NO!
Down the yellow sandy road, over the hump, round the dusty corner and I was face to face with the luscious eyelashes of a giraffe. Luscious eyelashes hiding hungry eyes in our parched land where we are all reduced to being watchers, waiting for something to happen. For the past fourteen months, since election 2018, we've been paralyzed, helplessly witnessing the government converting our US dollars into useless Zim dollars, watching the loss of our savings, erosion of our incomes, soaring inflation and a new frenzy of looting and corruption.
Hunger is knocking on Zimbabwe's door this October 2019. Some of it we can blame on last season's drought but we also have to apportion responsibility to the latest 'missing billions' story from Zimbabwe. We don't do corruption in thousands or hundreds of thousands in Zimbabwe anymore, now it's always in the millions and billions of disappeared US dollars. Parliament are still waiting for answers as to what happened to US$3 billion allocated for agriculture which can't be accounted for since the government's Command Agriculture scheme started in 2016. The missing billions didn't translate into grain in our silos so where did it go? Mansions? Luxury cars? Foreign bank accounts? And before we even get the answers to all that missing money, or Mr Mugabe's self confessed missing US$15 billion or ZINARA's missing $25 billion, President Mnangagwa just announced an additional injection of ZW$1.8 billion and US$51 million into this year's Command Agriculture programme. More seed and fertilizer or more mansions and cars?
Last week the US Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Brian Nichols, exposed the one simple fact about our agricultural capability which we all know; a fact which should be cause for national shame twenty years after Zanu PF's seized all commercial farm land in Zimbabwe. Ambassador Nichols said: "In the 1990s, there was a deep drought in the region and all Southern African nations were fed by Zimbabwe, but now this country requires food aid to feed half of its rural population."
With just a couple of weeks to go until our main planting season, the stacks of seed maize are piled high in the supermarkets but no one can afford to buy it. This morning in my home town seed maize is selling for ZW$389 for 10 kgs and Compound D fertilizer is ZW$500 for 50 kgs. ZW$900 to plant one acre of maize is more than a lecturer earns in a month, more than a domestic or garden worker earns in five months. Desperate to try and survive the ravages of inflation which international economist Steve Hanke puts at over 800% a year, people are left with no choice but to plant maize pips left from last year's harvest and just hope for the best. Even more alarming are the current huge empty gaps on supermarket shelves where the staple maize meal usually is; the price sticker is there: ZW$59.89 for 10 kgs but there has been nothing to buy for the past fortnight or more.
With such a massive food disaster in the making and at a time when almost half the population need international food aid, the Zimbabwe government have been diverting our attention with a rash of new financial regulations and Statutory Instruments, just as they did at the height of the last economic crash in 2008. It is now illegal to display, quote, charge, sell, pay for or receipt goods and services in US dollars or any currency other than ZWL dollars. Large fines have been tagged on to the latest rash of financial constraints which look very much like sending us headlong back to the days of empty shelves as the government takes control of every single US dollar out there and businesses are left with nothing to use to import the goods they require..
A fortnight ago the Reserve Bank announced that Bureau de Change could not pay out more than 7% of the bank stipulated rate when buying currency. Two days ago they dropped the rate again to between 3 and 5%. At the beginning of this week the Reserve Bank banned all cash in, cash out and cash back transactions offered by the country's mobile phone money operator, Ecocash saying they were trying to protect consumers from abuse and profiteering. In a country where banks don't have any money and 90% of the population don't have bank accounts, Ecocash has become the life blood of Zimbabwe. An uproar ensued and within three days the Reserve Bank backtracked on the ban.
Frankly it's a nightmare trying to understand and keep up with all these rules, regulations and iron fist policies and these words from ZCTU President Peter Mutasa offer the best summary of the current situation: "What the RBZ is doing is not new; the same institution blamed everyone but itself in 2007-2008. It went on the same spree and churned out Statutory Instruments weekly… but failed to reverse hyperinflation. … It is wasting time and burying the head in the sand…. These arbitrary policies are going to destroy the few remaining companies and jobs." Mutasa concluded with the chilling words: "Citizens must prepare for the 2008 financial and economic Armageddon."
Until next time, thanks for reading this Letter From Zimbabwe, now in its 19th year, and for supporting my eye witness books about life in Zimbabwe.
Love Cathy

Zimbabwe STARTS regional power exports, mainly to neighbour Namibia

Source: Zimbabwe begins regional power exports (local news)
ZIMBABWE has started exporting electricity to regional countries especially Namibia, buoyed by increased production at the Kariba Power Station which came into life in March last year/Dumisani Nsingo, Senior Business Reporter
President Mnangagwa commissioned Unit 7 and 8, which were constructed at a cost of $531 million by China's Sinohydro, resulting in an additional 300MW into the national grid. The Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) has confirmed that the new project has resulted in the country generating above target and exporting the excess power to NamPower, Namibia's power utility company.
In a statement, ZPC said it surpassed generating targets for the fourth quarter of 2018 by 32, 67 percent and Kariba Power Station contributed half of the power. Of the power from Kariba, five percent was imported to NamPower. According to the latest production updates, that translates to between 25 and 30 MW per day.
"A total of 2,694.92GWh of energy was achieved in the fourth quarter of 2018, against a target of 2,031.35GWh. The target for the period was therefore surpassed by 32.67 percent. Hwange also surpassed its quarterly target by nine percent due to deferment of Unit 3 major overhaul to 2019. From the energy supply balance, we observed that Kariba Power Station contributed the most energy with a 50 percent contribution to the total energy production, and five percent of it was exported to NamPower," said ZPC in a power update.
Energy and Power Development Minister Dr Jorum Gumbo confirmed the exports and added that the country was positioning itself to become a major power exporter in the region and fill the gap of power shortages faced by neighbouring countries.
"Throughout the year last year it has not been bad, even now. We were exporting to NamPower and we were even managing without importing from Eskom (South Africa), which means it's good. The electricity outages that were experienced in various parts of the country at times weren't because of shortages, they were caused by faults mainly to do with vandalism of infrastructure and storms," he said.
Dr Gumbo said the infrastructural development taking place in the energy sector, which entails expansion of the power stations as well as the various projects being undertaken by Independent Power Producers (IPPs) was likely to see the country exporting more power by 2030.
"The aim is that we want to reach a point that by 2030 we are aiming to be exporting power thus as a ministry we are working on getting solar energy on the national grid and putting in place a number of small hydro power stations such as the one we have earmarked at Tugwi-Mukosi to add power to the national grid," he said.
Dr Gumbo said through power exports the country could rake the much needed foreign currency through exporting power in the region where the demand is high.
"The whole of Southern Africa can depend on us, if we complete our various projects. There's a shortage of power, we are seeing South Africa doing a lot of electricity load-shedding. That means the market is there. For instance if projects like Batoka commence, we will be self sufficient as a country. The future is bright to enable us to export into the region as a country," he said.
The proposed Batoka Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station is a 1 600 megawatts (MW) hydroelectric power station, planned to be on the Zambezi River across the international border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Dr Gumbo however, said the water levels in the Zambezi River have gone down and the situation was likely to impact negatively in the generation of power at Kariba hydro-power station.
"I think you are aware that water levels at the Zambezi are very low to the level that we want to ensure that it won't disrupt our power generation, thus we will be managing our consumption. We are not getting enough inflows up the river in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the water level is becoming low and low," he said.

Unpaid doctors and teachers are striking. Businesses are folding like useless banknotes. Elections are due by August. The ruling party is itching to splurge cash on pre-ballot handouts and, perhaps, voter intimidation.

CRIMSON TAZVINZWA, AIWA! NO!|UNTIL recently Priscilla Magaya was an administrator in a printing firm in Harare, Zimbabwe's sunny capital. Today she spends her days on the side of a street, clutching a thick bundle of different banknotes. A few weeks ago, after two years of not paying her wages, her employer went bust. Ms Magaya turned to money trading, swapping real American dollars for Zimbabwe's confusing profusion of local paper. For $100 in actual greenbacks, buyers get $120 in bright green "bond notes"—a Zimbabwean currency introduced in 2016 that is meant to be pegged to the dollar—or $140 in mobile money, which is also meant to be on a par with real dollars. Her earnings are "not something that I can survive on", she says, but she has no other option.
Two years ago money in Zimbabwe was simple: everyone used the American dollar, introduced in 2009 after hyperinflation destroyed the Zimbabwean version. Since then, however, banks have run out of real dollars because the cash-strapped and unscrupulous government grabs them in exchange for all-but-worthless IOUs. Zimbabwe is becoming the world's first cashless economy, but not in a good way. ATMs are empty. Banks allow customers to withdraw just $20 a day, not in real dollars but in local bond notes. Long queues form each morning. Most people rely on electronic bank transfers or mobile money to pay their bills, usually at a hefty premium.
All this loopiness was originally the fault of Zimbabwe's former president, Robert Mugabe, who was ousted in a coup last year after 37 years in power. Can his successor, Emmerson Mnangagwa, restore sanity? It will not be easy. The fiscal deficit was a daunting 11% of GDP in 2017. Unpaid doctors and teachers are striking. Businesses are folding like useless banknotes. Elections are due by August. The ruling party is itching to splurge cash on pre-ballot handouts and, perhaps, voter intimidation.

Mr Mnangagwa has spent the past few months jetting around the world, usually wearing a Zimbabwean-flag scarf over his suit (which makes him look ridiculous), trying to raise money. So often does he say "Zimbabwe is open for business" that it has become a meme. Though he claims to have secured some $11bn of promises of foreign direct investment, many doubt that it will amount to much. Since the coup "things have actually got worse," says Tendai Biti, an opposition activist and former finance minister who served in the government of national unity after disputed elections in 2009. Prices have gone up as real dollars have become even more scarce.
Zimbabwe used to rely on farming (especially tobacco) for foreign exchange.©news.sky.com
Mr Mugabe wrecked the country's largest export industry by grabbing land from white farmers and handing it to cronies who often knew little about farming. As agricultural output collapsed and jobs disappeared, the economy nosedived. Monthly inflation hit 80,000,000,000%, by one estimate. Worthless $100trn notes from that time are now used as bookmarks.
Since 2009 the economy has recovered somewhat. Farming has grown again, partly thanks to the leasing of farms back to their previous owners, and partly thanks to the replacement of the old currency by the dollar. But Zimbabwe still cannot feed itself. Despite bumper rains, more than 1m people may not have had enough to eat earlier this year, according to USAID, America's aid agency. And the cash crunch hits rural areas particularly hard. "I am getting nothing out of farming," says a 43-year-old tobacco farmer who gives his name as Cloud. He must travel almost 50km from his home to buy anything with the electronic money in which he is paid.
Mr Mnangagwa's best hope is that after he wins the elections he can persuade international lenders, such as the IMF, to renew Zimbabwe's lines of credit, which were cut under Mr Mugabe. Foreign investors could also bring in more hard currency: Zimbabwe has plenty of gold and platinum, much of which isn't being exploited.
But much more will have to change before Zimbabwe can really be called open for business. Under Mr Mugabe, legions of ruling-party loyalists were hired as civil servants and endless irksome rules were written so they could demand bribes not to enforce them. As formal businesses have shut or gone underground, tax collection has plummeted. Zimbabweans have moved from offices and factories into informal jobs such as hustling. Roads have crumbled and many of the best-educated workers have emigrated. Ms Magaya tentatively predicts that things will get better. But she worries that "it will take as long to fix the country as it took to destroy it." In the meantime, she is hoping perhaps to move to South Africa.

Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. viewer's guide: What you need to know

By Michael Rosenthal | November 26, 2020 8:00 am
(Editor's note: This post originally published at Boxing Junkie, part of the USA TODAY Network.)
The former "Baddest Man on the Planet" Mike Tyson is set to make his return to the ring at 54 when he takes on 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. in a pay-per-view bout this weekend.
Below is everything you need to know.

WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH
You should fork over the $50 pay-per-view fee if you think you'll enjoy a trip down memory lane and want to support the charity or charities that will benefit from the exhibition. You shouldn't watch if you want to see a real fight. That's not what this is. This is a glorified sparring session between two old men (by boxing standards) who are shells of what they once were. The exhibition will be contested over eight two-minute rounds and with 12-ounce gloves, which is meant to soften whatever blows they land. And don't look for a knockout. California officials have asked the participants to refrain from throwing bombs. The last thing anyone wants to see is either of them get seriously hurt.
FIVE KEY QUESTIONS
Has Tyson really recaptured his old form? C'mon. Don't be fooled by the workout videos he has posted. He was shot when he was stopped by Kevin McBride in his last fight. And that was 15 years ago.
How much does Jones have left? Not much. He's a little younger than Tyson and has fought more recently – in 2018 (last year if you count an exhibition) – but the once-dazzling speed and reflexes are gone.
Is it appropriate for two 50-somethings to exchange blows? Depends. If the fighters abide by the strict guidelines established by California officials – no crazy stuff – they should be fine.
Who was better at their peaks? Jones. Tyson was good, but he never beat an elite opponent when that opponent was in his prime. Jones was the best pound-for-pound fighter of the 1990s.
WHY TYSON WILL WIN
First, there will be no official scoring, which means there will be no official winner. The WBC has hired three former fighters to score the fight for fun. Tyson doesn't have the speed and reflexes he once had but neither does Jones. And "Iron Mike" remains strong and powerful, which is his advantage over his naturally smaller opponent. If Tyson can impose his physical superiority over Jones, he could control the "fight." And he might be able to KO Jones if he wants to. Let's hope he doesn't want to.
WHY JONES WILL WIN
Jones isn't what he used to be but he probably has a little more left in the than tank than Tyson does. Tyson hasn't fought for 15 years, which is an eternity in boxing. Jones has been out for less than three years. Thus, he could have better muscle memory than Tyson does. And Jones is about as slick as a 51-year-old can get. He might be able to dance and stick and move to an extent that would frustrate his plodding opponent and allow him to dominate the fight and avoid trouble.
Boxing Junkie's prediction is that Tyson and Jones are going to have a little fun for the benefit of the fans and charity. They'll move around the ring as best they can, throw a few light punches here and there and then smile and give one another a great big hug afterward. That's what California officials have in mind. We can only hope that the fighters are on the same page. Again, we are concerned about their health. And if they lose control in the ring, who is going to allow them to take part in an exhibition again?

BUSU 2019 Elections set new voter turnout record
Goodman HRMA prepares to host annual case competition
Spaxman, Brack lead Badgers to first round sweep
February 15, 2019 Satbir Singh Hockey, Sports No comments
Photo Credit: Mackenzie Gerry
For the second year in a row Brock men's hockey picked up an opening round sweep in the OUA playoffs. Coming in as the number two seed the Badgers expectations have been set at an all-time high, and they didn't disappoint by winning game one and two of the best-of-three series against the York Lions.
Badgers fell behind to the Lions early in game two but were able to bounce back and get a 3-2 win in a second overtime period.
Brock took game one by a score of 2-1 on February 13.
In game two on Friday night, the Lions jumped out in front 2-0 after the first period. Two goals late in the period by Sal Filice and Stefano Pezzetta, the first being a power play goal, gave the Lions a lot of momentum.
However, that all changed in the second period as the Badgers outshot the Lions 23-12. It wasn't until 6:38 into the second period when the Badgers would finally get on the board. Ethan Spaxman was the goal scorer from teammates Ayden MacDonald and Frank Pucci.
Spaxman would be the one to tie it up in the third period, tallying his second of the game, this one being unassisted. The defenceman had three goals for the entire regular season.
The two teams would need two overtime periods, but it was 15 seconds into the second overtime when the Badgers put the Lions into scramble mode. Connor Walters got a shot on net before Ethan Price got a chance and Justin Brack found the back of the net to conclude the game and the series.
Logan Thompson was fantastic once again for the Badgers, stopping 35 of 37 shots. Brock outshot York 49-37 for the game.
With the sweep the Badgers avoid a third game versus the Lions and will now play the third seed Western Mustangs in the second round beginning February 20. The Mustangs swept the Laurier Golden Hawks in the first round, winning both games by a score of 3-2.
The Badgers lost both their season games versus the Mustangs, 5-1 and 2-1, both coming back in November.
Brock will host Western for game one at the Seymour-Hannah Centre with the start time yet to be announced.

We have sped to the end of half term and I think that the children, and staff, are all ready for a short break to re-charge the batteries before the last busy six weeks of the academic year.
Our chess players all enjoyed a successful weekend at Camber Sands last weekend. They came a very impressive 4th thanks to some great play from the team. My thanks to Mr Sonley for his coaching of the team and for entering us for this event. Hopefully the lure of a weekend in Camber Sands will encourage more players to join the chess club.
When visitors come in it is particularly lovely to be able to have the whole school together and over the last few days we have had two guests to our assemblies. Last Friday a representative from the MS society came in to present a trophy to the school. We had the largest number of runners from any school taking part in the Prestwood Fun Run on Sunday 15 May. Thanks to all the parents who also ran at this event. We have already been asked to add next year's date to our calendar!
Our chosen school charity for this school year has been the Aylesbury Homeless Action Group. We did not feel that the pupils were sufficiently aware of the work of this charity so a whole school assembly was a good way to demonstrate how useful our fundraising efforts will be to the people they help.
The Year 6 pupils are all excited about their trip to France. They will leave very early on Monday 6 June. This week will be a great opportunity for the Year 5 pupils to enjoy being the eldest in the school. I am sure they will rise to this important role.
Please ensure you read the information we have sent out about our school celebration for the Queen's 90th Birthday on Monday 13 June. The creative Gateway staff have planned some lovely activities for the children and we are taking the opportunity to put the pupils into vertical age groupings for the afternoon. It will be a non-uniform day for all the children.
Enjoy the half term, and hopefully some time in the sunshine with your children.

A city in northeastern Japan is stepping up road snow removal efforts to help the visually impaired
by Rocio J. Ruff | Posted on January 11, 2022 January 12, 2022
MORIOKA — This municipal government in northeast Japan has taken steps this winter to step up snow removal efforts so that visually impaired people can walk the streets safely as the dangerous snowy road season has fully begun.
"When there is snow on the braille blocks, it becomes difficult to feel them with the soles of the feet," said Hiroshi Takahashi, left, a teacher at the Iwate Morioka Prefecture School for the Blind in Morioka , December 22, 2021. (Mainichi/Ikuko Andō)
The general rule of Iwate Prefectural City in Morioka is to remove snow when more than 10 centimeters of snow has accumulated on the streets, but it has been tightened to 5 centimeters on a trial basis on the roads. of town around Morioka Prefectural School for the Blind.
When three visually impaired teachers gave a reporter from Mainichi Shimbun a tour of the school, the difficulty of walking in the snow became apparent.
"When the snow hides the Braille blocks, I can't walk straight. I don't know which direction I'm facing, and it's like I'm lost," says teacher Takahisa Sonobe, 44, described his journey this season. .
Sonobe walks around feeling the braille pave with the soles of his feet, and on his way to work he uses his white cane to hit fences and other targets he has set himself. When all those things he relies on are covered in snow, the condition of the road to school he used to walk changes drastically.
Another teacher, Hiroshi Takahashi, 52, said: "Some of the roads on my commute route don't have Braille blocks, so I walk around holding my breath and gritting my teeth because I'm so nervous. "
Takahashi said if you see a disabled person having problems, such as moving from side to side while holding a white cane, please call them. "Even if the road is icy, we can't avoid it. We feel relieved when people talk to us," he continued.
The municipal government of Morioka contracts the snow removal of roads and vehicular sidewalks to contractors, and when the snowfall exceeds the limit, they are dispatched. However, even if the snow accumulation is less than 10 centimeters, it is still dangerous for people with visual impairments, so locals and school staff shovel snow and spread snowmelt agents on the way. of the school from the dormitory where the students live.
A city official said, "If there's not a lot of snow, the snowblower may not be able to remove it. This season we will see if it is possible to remove even 5 centimeters of snow and then we will consider whether to extend the practice to the whole city.
Another teacher, Ghimire Kshitij, 49, was grateful for the stricter measures, but said: "Some students commute from train stations and bus stops away from school. I hope the city government will expand the areas where the rules are stricter.

It makes it clear that as far as possible the courts in this country should interpret the law in a way that is compatible with Convention rights.
It places an obligation on public authorities to act compatibly with Convention rights.
The HRA also gives people the right to take court proceedings if they think that their Convention rights have been breached or are going to be.
Parliament makes laws but it is the courts that have to interpret them. The HRA makes it clear that when they are interpreting legislation the courts must do so in a way which does not lead to people's Convention rights being breached. Moreover, the courts are now under a duty to develop the common law – the law which has been developed through decisions of the courts themselves – in a way that is compatible with Convention rights.
What happens if the courts cannot read the law compatibly?
If the law is an Act of Parliament, the courts have no choice but to apply the law as it is, even though it breaches Convention rights. However, the higher courts (the High Court, the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords) have the power to make what is called a 'declaration of incompatibility'. This is a statement that the courts consider that a particular law breaches Convention rights. It is meant to encourage Parliament to amend the law, but the courts cannot force the Government or Parliament to amend the law if they do not want to.
However, a declaration of incompatibility does not affect the validity of the incompatible legislation, and if your rights are being breached by this law, the courts are no power to act to stop that breach, or to give you compensation for any damage that the breach has caused you.
A lot of law is not set out in Acts of Parliament but rather in secondary legislation. Secondary legislation is law made under the authority of an Act of Parliament. Rather than set out detailed provisions in an Act of Parliament, Parliament will frequently give the power to make detailed laws to a government minister. The Act of Parliament will give the minister the power to make law but the law itself will be set out in regulations or orders. For example, most social security law is set out in regulations rather than in Acts of Parliament.
Where the courts find that an item of secondary legislation is incompatible with Convention rights, they have the power to strike the law down or not to apply it. This applies to all courts, not just the higher ones. The only circumstance where this is not possible is where the secondary legislation merely repeats a requirement of an Act of Parliament.
The HRA requires public authorities to act in a way that does not breach Convention rights. The HRA does not define the term public authority, but it is clear that bodies like the police, local councils and government departments and agencies are all public authorities. Courts and tribunals are expressly referred to in the HRA as public authorities.
Private individuals and bodies will not be public authorities for the purposes of the HRA unless they are performing a public function. So, for example, a private security company that has a contract with the Government to transport prisoners to and from court will be a public authority for the purposes of the HRA (and therefore under a duty to respect Convention rights) when it is transporting prisoners but will not be when it is guarding private property under a contract with a private organisation.
The issue of whether a person or body is a public authority for the purposes of the HRA can be very difficult to determine. As there is no definition of a public authority in the HRA this is something that the courts have to decide on. The development of case law in this area has for example meant that the rights of an elderly person are unlikely to be protected by the HRA when the local council pays for care to be provided in a private care home. By contrast, the same individual's rights would be protected if the care were provided by the local council in a care home it runs itself (YL v Birmingham City Council and Others 2007).
I simply want to tell you that I am new to blogging and honestly liked this web blog. Likely I'm planning to bookmark your site . You actually come with perfect posts. Thanks a bunch for sharing with us your webpage.
I was curious about if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site? It is well written; I enjoy what you have got to state. But maybe you can include a little more in the way of written content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two graphics. Maybe you can space it out better?
totality, I value the viewpoint.


QR codes are interactive graphics. They are embedded with data that can be read using QR scan apps available on today's smart phones.
Once a user scans the QR code with their smart phone, they are automatically directed online.
1. As with all internet marketing tools, the easier you make it for consumers to get in touch with you, the better the odds they will. QR codes offer consumers an easy & instant way to take action on an offline ad. There are no phone numbers or website addresses to remember.
2. QR codes are also one of the most recent developments in internet marketing. By adopting this technology you can reach a whole new audience of tech savvy consumer.
3. Through the use of Google Analytics, you can track the response and ROI of your offline marketing. Analytics helps measure internet marketing campaigns by reporting on your website traffic sources and the behavior of your website visitors.
What are some strategies for implementing QR codes?
Say for example you have an ad with a QR code running in the newspaper. By creating a specific landing page for people who act on that ad, you receive two benefits.
A specialized page can more personally address the consumer based on where they've come from. Even stating "Thank you for clicking on our ad in the Calgary Herald" enhances the user experience.
In addition, if you make this page hidden from all other users in your website, you can confidently state that all the traffic to this page is as a result of the newspaper ad.
Not only does it look really cool, but adding a QR code to your business card increases the chances of your contact information becoming added to your prospect's smart phone.
A way to do this is to have your QR code send the user to an online Vcard, which can be downloaded to automatically add you to their contacts.
Not only have you made a lasting first impression, but in contrast to having your stylish business card thrown in the garbage or recycled, you've now earned a spot in their smartphone. Now when they need your product or service, you're right there in their phone.
Placing a QR code on a flyer or poster in-store and link your QR to your mailing list sign up or Facebook page.
Capturing prospect's data; whether it be their email address, or having them as a fan on your Facebook page is invaluable. Data capture is the most basic and critical of internet marketing strategies. It allows you to grow and nurture a list of prospects, and the bigger your list, the better your odds of converting prospects into customers through ongoing internet marketing activities.
QR codes are an inexpensive and cutting edge addition to your marketing or internet marketing efforts.
QR Codes offer enhanced tracking abilities and a compelling call to action for tech savvy users. QR codes transform prospects from passively reading an ad to actively participating in your internet marketing campaign.

buy to let property on the high-street.
yieldit has the perfect investment (or buyer) for you!
Great to meet you! I'm Ryan, Head of Sales at yieldit. I have 14 years' experience in the property sector, starting at the age of 15. My career has spanned everything from working in student property, to residential and construction. Whether it's refurbishing student accommodation or managing private portfolios worth millions, I've done it!
yieldit's bespoke service is completely tailored for investment, and my varied experience in everything from property valuations to business development puts me in a great position to take the company forward in providing a different approach to sales which has the investor in mind every step of the way.
.When I'm not busy in the office I like to relax playing sport – mainly football, tennis and golf. I'm also a Manchester United season ticket holder, so it's quite handy that our office is opposite Old Trafford on midweek games!
I have lots of experience in buy to let property sales, having previously worked as an Aftersales Consultant for one of the UK's leading property investment firms. With a wealth of knowledge and experience behind me I know what it takes to keep a sale on the right track, pushing it through to exchange of contracts so you can start earing your income or planning your next investment.
When I'm not on the phone to clients or solicitors I love to unwind in my hometown of Chester with a G&T in hand (more often than not at the racecourse cheering on the winning horses!), or on a ski break with my family and friends.
Hello, I'm Kevin, part of yieldit's After Sales team which is here to take care of everything once a sale has been agreed. It's my job to try and push through a sale to completion as quickly and efficiently as possible, with as little work for you as possible.
I have over 15 years of experience in property sales, having previously worked as a Senior Sales Negotiator and Sales Progressor for Liverpool's largest Independent estate agents. I bought my first property when I was nineteen and have bought and sold seven properties since then, so I have lots of personal experience of the whole purchase and sales process which I implement when working with clients.
I have recently moved from Liverpool to Manchester and bought my first property here in the city centre. I am looking forward to getting to know the market better in Manchester and am excited to now have the opportunity to deal with properties in many different areas. I enjoy keeping fit at the gym, swimming and love to go on as many holidays and weekend breaks as possible.
Hello, my name is Becky. I've worked in property for most of my working life and never realised that I would have such a passion for it. I have worked in both the resale and off-plan market, as well as having experience in aftersales, which means I can help you through the entire process from start to finish.
Whether you want to start building a new property portfolio, or add to your existing one, I'm more than happy to talk you through the options so that we can find the perfect property for you. We have a large list of pre-qualified investors here at yieldit, plus we advertise your property on the major UK portals, so we can ensure that your property is seen by thousands of investors.
On a personal note, I'm an avid festival goer and like to book at least a couple in each year to soak up the atmosphere. You can also find me poring over a Lonely Planet guide at a weekend, trying to decide on which new destination I'm going to visit next.
Hi, I'm James! I am part of yieldit's property consultancy team which means that it's my job to find you your perfect investment.
After graduating from the University of Lancaster in 2012 with a degree in Biological Sciences I found myself working in the property sector. Although the two don't seem very similar, my degree has actually helped when it comes to advising on investments as it taught me to think very analytically, providing the skills to become an effective problem solver and investment consultant.
.When I'm not working I am the lead guitarist of Manchester-based band The Provocateurs.
I'm Adam, one of yieldit's resident property consultants. I've been working in the property industry for the whole of my working life and have experience working for both local and national estate agents which puts me in an excellent position to give advice on all aspects of property sales.
I love working for yieldit as I get to provide a tailored service for investors, offering clients the best service and guidance available, for example which areas to invest for the best returns.
Beyond work I am a keen sportsman and play rugby union for North Manchester as well as lots of country sports like fishing and shooting as I come from a farming background.
If you would like advice about how best to optimise your property portfolio then give me a call and I'd be happy to help!
I'm Nicola, one of yieldit's specialist team of investment consultants. In a nutshell my job is matching people to properties! I'm here to help advise clients about the best way to invest their money into property, whether it be a first time investor, somebody expanding their portfolio or pension investing.
I'm experienced in the world of buy to let, coming from a family of landlords. In addition to this I have worked as an Estate Agent since 2013 in Manchester city centre which means I'm particularly knowledgeable about northern city centre markets.
I really enjoy working alongside the helpful and highly skilled yieldit team and I hope to build a client base of happy repeat buyers here who know they can always come to me for advice.
When I'm not immersed in all thing BTL I love going on holiday and always manage to fit in a festival or two throughout the year.
Hi I'm Jon, the resident Valuer here at yieldit, working alongside the Professor! It's our job to make sure that the yieldit formula is as accurate as it can be, ensuring we get you the right price for your property.
Luckily I'm the right man for the job, with over 10 years' experience in property, an industry I began in fresh from the school gates.
My career has seen me travel the length and breadth of the country, working across sales, valuing, new build, residential and student property. This experience puts me in an excellent position to value your buy to let, having worked on all kinds of properties in lots of different markets across the UK.
When I'm not crunching numbers with the Professor I like to try and catch a mid-week game at Old Trafford which is just over the road (handy!).
Hi, my name's Danny and I'm a valuer at yieldit here to help you get the best possible price for your property and make the sale process as easy as possible.
I have been working in the industry for three years, starting as a consultant and spending the last three years as a valuer, and have worked across the residential and buy to let sectors – meeting plenty of characters along the way!
My favourite thing about working at yieldit is that nothing is too much trouble; no matter what needs doing there is always someone able to help you out at any stage.
Outside of work I love football and support Blackburn Rovers (for my sins) as well as being the self-proclaimed biggest Arctic Monkeys fan in the country having seen them about 20 times!
Good day! You might well be wondering who I am? I'm the Professor, yieldit's resident expert in all things buy to let.
My unique formula for buying and selling buy to let property ensures that by working with my expert team you will get the most out of your sale or purchase, ultimately maximising profits along the way.

Why not take a look at our latest video here which outlines yieldit's top tips for building a successful property portfolio in the UK?
yieldit, make the smart choice!
What makes yieldit different to other agents?
You wouldn't ask a plumber to do your electrics, or your postman to deliver a baby - so why would you instruct a traditional high-street agent to deal with your buy to let? With over a decade of experience in the market and a team of investment specialists behind us, we are perfectly placed to help you trade buy to let property in the UK.
My property is listed with another agent, can I use yieldit?

What happens if my property doesn't sell?

The best part? Our 'no sale, no fee' approach means you won't pay us a penny until the sale actually completes.
What is an EPC, and do I need one?
An Energy Performance Certificate, or EPC, is a document which outlines the energy efficiency of a property. EPCs are valid for 10 years from issue and are required for any new build, sold or rented property. Before we help you sell your property you must be able to provide a valid EPC certificate. Don't have one? Don't worry! For an additional charge we can order one for you. Find out more here.


Summary: The FCC has posted their new rules for net neutrality Monday, opening the window for US Telecom to sue to have those same rules blocked, which they immediately did.
Regarding net neutrality legislation, Monday has marked a significant date: not only did the Federal Communications Commission publish their net neutrality rules, which triggered an effective date of June 22 when they will go into place, but a telecommunications industry trade group has also filed suit to prevent the rules from becoming law.
"As Chairman [Tom] Wheeler has said, we are confident the FCC's new open Internet rules will be upheld by the courts, ensuring enforceable protections for consumers and innovators online" said FCC spokeswoman Kim Hart Monday.
The 400-page order posted by the FCC marked the point when their 3-2 vote approved rules and regulations, as of Feb. 26, would be published with the Federal Register, and also when the rules could be legally challenged.
US Telecom, who are suing to stop the rules, are a trade group including AT&T and Verizon Communications. They filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Their president, Walter McCormick, claims they do not oppose the goal of a free flowing legal content online, without internet providers having the ability to boost speeds for higher bidders, or block other sites. Instead, he opposes the FCC's changing of the legal classification of wired and wireless broadband as a highly regulated telecommunications service.
The suit therefore calls the rules "arbitrary and capricious," and in violation of federal law.

Welton Becket & Ruth Shellhorn: The Commercial & Retail Projects
Landscape architect Kelly Comras, FASLA, explores the collaboration of architect Welton Becket and landscape architect Ruth Shellhorn on fifteen projects that helped put post-war Los Angeles on the map. $12 (1 hr)
Select a Time 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Architect Welton Becket and landscape architect Ruth Shellhorn completed fifteen projects together during the middle of the 20th century, including Bullock's Pasadena, the Prudential Home Office on Wilshire, and the futuristic Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. This heavily illustrated lecture looks at their work as a means to examining development of the design principles that influenced the indoor-outdoor living ethos of the midcentury era in Southern California.
These principles were expressed in the clean lines of contemporary architecture or the spare adaptations of Mediterranean-style structures, and included experimentation with modern building materials and methods of construction. Landscape design became free flowing, relaxed, and casual. It explored and rearticulated features of an already well-established tradition of California indoor-outdoor-living, such as transparent boundaries between indoors and out; comfort, livability, and convenience in open, adaptable garden spaces; modulation of natural light; and enframement and screening of views.
Becket and Shellhorn's work stood out for its quality, accolades from the public and design community, and the number of awards they received. All of their projects synchronized Becket's cool architectural style with the southern California look of Shellhorn's landscape designs. Summing up the forward-looking attitude and impact of their work, architect Lou Naidorf declared, "Together, Welton Becket and Ruth Shellhorn put post-war Los Angeles on the map."
Kelly Comras, FASLA, is a licensed landscape architect and member of the State Bar of California. Her practice focuses on community-based open space design that relates to the study or use of land. Her book, Ruth Shellhorn, was published by University of Georgia Press in 2016, along with a companion documentary that can be seen without charge at lalh.org.
A book signing of Kelly Comras's Ruth Shellhorn (University of Georgia Press, 2016, in collaboration with Library of American Landscape History) will follow her presentation.
This event is for all ages.
This event is wheelchair accessible.

Bournemouth have reportedly slapped a £34million asking price on the head of defender Nathan Ake amid links with Chelsea and Napoli.
The Blues were recently linked with a move to re-sign Ake in a report from De Telegraaf, and it seems they could be cleared to do so for fairly cheap.
Napoli have also been linked with the Dutchman by La Gazzetta dello Sport, as translated by Calciomercato, as the Serie A side potentially face losing Kalidou Koulibaly to Manchester United.
Were they to miss out on Ake, however, one imagines that could make it harder for Man Utd to land the Senegal international, who the report explains has also been linked with Real Madrid.
This surely gives Chelsea all the more motivation to bring Ake back to Stamford Bridge, as the 24-year-old would not only be a fine signing to strengthen their defence, but he could play a part in hurting United's transfer plans in a big way.
The Red Devils and the Blues are competing over a top four spot this season and are likely to be rivals again next year, so CFC will no doubt be eager to do anything to prevent them strengthening with a world class player like Koulibaly.


After that, the Actions button works fine. I got the same four OK boxes if I choose Tools®Forms®Choose Form. Again, after that happens, Choose Form worked normally. Either method of triggering the four OK boxes ended the problem for that session. Afterward, the error didn't return unless Outlook was closed and reopened.
I Googled the problem, and found out the manifest is an XML file of some kind. But, a careful search of my system found no XML files containing anything like those. I asked for help in a forum where Outlook experts hang out… but, nobody had ever seen the problem before.
I tried renaming lots of XML files, just in case, but none fixed the problem. Starting Outlook in safe mode brought relief, but ultimately provided no help, as I disabled every add-in I have, as well as renamed my OutlookVBA.otm file. No joy.
When I renamed …FormRegions as …FormRegions.x, the problem magically stopped. It turns out that the cryptic error message was right on target. The only problem was that it failed to tell me what the @#? the "form region manifest" actually was. In truth, I'm still not sure, only that removing the reference from the registry made the problem go away.
My only guess as to how this happened is that I must have installed and removed a long-forgotten add-in (i.e., "an add-in that is not installed") at one point, and the removal program failed to clean up after itself when it departed. I just love mysteries with happy endings.
Thanks! This fixed my problem. I was having the EXACT SAME issue.
I did a bit of digging in the registry and found that there is a sibling key just above FormRegions called "AddIns". Inside it there is a sub-key called "OcOffice.OcForms" that seems to be what the other is looking for from FormRegions EXCEPT it has a prefix "=".
From what I can gather these keys were added by Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 for its add-in.
I have long since removed that product from my system, but it did not clean up itself entirely.
I think it was after trying (and then removing) Office Communicator that I noticed the problem as well. But, there was enough of a gap in time that I didn't connect it. I'm glad that my solution proved useful to you. Cheers, Herb.
I have the same problem but only when I automatically open an additional mailbox's Inbox in a separate window when Communicator is running, but not logged on (icon in system tray.) When I changed the Communicator option to not start Communicator at startup the problem never appeared.
This problem appeared for me as well. It only happened after removing Office Communicator 2007. And as JohnM121 stated, it does not clean itself up after removal. I had these same keys in the registry and once I renamed the main key with .x on th end, my problems did go away. Good job on finding this.
Took a chance. deleted the reg entries. Problem went away. Thanks for the info.
I have seen a very similiar problem with a message stating that "A form region cannot be opened" when a cliuent tries to view archived Office Communicator conversations in the Outlook Conversation history folder. Problem only happens if the preview pane is used to try to view the messages.
Still digging on this one…..


I was looking for a less costly but about equal alternative to Federal HST (because of the non-availability of 50 rd boxes at a decent price).
The Golden Sabers are advertised at several places for $16.99, but they all are out of stock.
Ordered last night. Shipping 200 rds was $12.78.
HST for $22.99 a box, $5 shipping, or free shipping over $100 purchase (usually).

Trump says U.S. authorities will begin removing millions of illegal immigrants
Ismael Spencer | Wednesday, June 19, 2019
New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger has said President Donald Trump's attacks on the press are"dangerous
But in a public appearance on Tuesday, President Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, said the U.S. was now taking a broader view of potential digital targets as part of an effort "to say to Russian Federation, or anybody else that's engaged in cyberoperations against us, 'You will pay a price.'" Power grids have been a low-intensity battleground for years.
Mr Trump claimed the report cleared him of wrongdoing.
President Trump weighed-in on the current national emergency taking place along the US-Mexico border Monday night; saying ICE agents will begin removing "millions of illegal aliens" starting next week. Mr Trump said in one of the tweets. ICE arrests in the USA interior have been declining in recent months because so many agents are busy managing the record surge of migrant families across the southern border with Mexico.
Congress has authorized ICE to detain 40,000 migrants, and many others are sent to other overcrowded facilities across the nation.
Trump has threatened a series of increasingly drastic actions as he has tried to stem the flow of Central American migrants crossing the southern border, which has risen dramatically on his watch.
Trump has previously revealed classified intelligence to two top Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting.
"Guatemala is not a safe country for refugees", the organization said in a statement. "There are over 1 million here with final deportation orders, and we hardly even pursue them".
Earlier this month, Trump announced that the us reached a deal with Mexico that includes plans to return migrants seeking asylum to Mexico, where they will remain until they can be processed.
Executing a large-scale operation of the type under discussion requires hundreds - and perhaps thousands - of US agents and supporting law enforcement personnel, as well as weeks of intelligence gathering and planning to verify addresses and locations of individuals targeted for arrest. Funding for his plan to build a border wall has been blocked by Democrats.
"Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people", Trump added, before claiming that Guatemala was getting ready to sign a so-called "Safe-Third Agreement". "Our families' futures are on the line", said Olga Armas, leader of Make the Road New Jersey.
"And there were a number of success stories, only some of which we could really ever share, where the social media companies, based on tips that we provided, were able to take action much more effectively, much more quickly to block and prevent some of the information warfare that the Russians were engaged in", he stated.
Traditionally, ICE has prioritized criminals for deportation. The Trump administration has sought to change that, detaining thousands of immigrant parents and their children before courts stepped in and ordered the families be reunified.

Your Guide To An Ultimate RCC 2020 Weekend

Adelaide is currently in the midst of RCC 2020, one of the biggest and most boundary-pushing cultural events to hit the city. Each year, it brings a wide and awe-inspiring array of music, shows art and chow for punters to sink their eyes, ears and teeth into.
While the event has officially hit halfway, it is so expansive that the last two weeks still offer punters so much to explore. It's hard to believe, frankly, how much you can do and see with just a few nights at RCC. To prove it, Music Feeds is giving you an idea of how just two nights at RCC can give you experiences that'll stay with you forever.
Friday, 6th March
5pm – Luminarium: Daedalum
Okay, so before things get too sweaty in the depths of a moshpit, it might be worth taking it easy and immersing yourself in some of the art installations. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't kick things off with a bang – head to the Barr Smith Lawns to experience the technicolour and electrifying wonder of Luminarium: Daedalum. It's like if Willy Wonka threw up a maze and chucked it into outer space, and is perfect for your Instagram.
6:30pm – Frankenstein: How To Make A Monster
Now you've had your world brightened up, it's time to get deep and dark as you witness one of the most talked-about productions worldwide of the year – Frankenstein: How To Make A Monster. Described as "thrilling theatre" with "tongue-twisting vocal gymnastics", this sees the classic novel reimagined through a capella and beatboxing that will leave you wanting more. Think if Pitch Perfect and Step up had an edgy love child, this would be it.
8pm – Chow down at Chow Town
No doubt all that lightwork and beatboxing has worked up an appetite, so head to the Cloisters area 'Chow Town' – an open-air food hall with a stacked variety of vendors. Get your burger fix with plant-based heroes Happy Burger, or your daily dose of pizza with Antica. Fuck it, you're at RCC – finish it off with a Portuguese Custard Tarts from Saudade, really treat thyself.
9pm – SAFIA
At this point, SAFIA needs no introduction, with two ARIA charting albums and 8 entries across four consecutive Hottest 100 countdowns. Their unique brand of pop and dance music has bewitched audiences across the world, and now they're bringing it to the Dusk Till Dawn stage in UTOPIA. Fitting perfectly into your evening, this is a chance to see one of Australia's brightest.
10:30pm – FJAAK (live)
There's nothing like a sweaty, Euro-inspired rave to end your night of ~culture~ and electronic trio FJAAK are here to give that to you, and then some. Hailing from Berlin, this trio is genre-bending and deliver completely fresh takes on techno and house – offering for a perfect sendoff of your first night at RCC.
Saturday, 7th March
5:30pm – Early dinner at Roberta's Italian Disco Diner
Saturday is always going to be a big night, so why not feast up on carbs before tackling it head-on? At RCC, there's no better place to do that then Roberta's Italian Disco Diner. Back after a very successful first year at RCC 2019, Roberta's is sure to be a highlight for you. We're talking aperitifs with river views, traditional Italian dishes, peppered in with some disco tunes – this is the closest thing to an arched piazza party this side of Bologna. You must see it.
7pm: Passengers
Described as "dark comedy about the epic battles and alliances within the psyche and the power of the mind to protect itself from pain", Passengers will give you one of the most thought-provoking Saturday nights you've ever had. Equal parts comedy and tragedy, head down to the Union Cinema for a powerful hour of theatre.
8:15pm: The Wild Side
After the rollercoaster that is Passengers, it might be best for you to let loose a little bit – and there's no better place to do that than at the Australian premiere of Jonny Woo's The Wild Side. It's a love letter to the late legend Lou Reed, and revives everything that made the glory days of the NYC underground what it was. It's a whirlwind of cheeky cabaret and live music, with appearances from Andy Warhol and Valerie Solanas to boot.
9pm: Sampa The Great
Back into UTOPIA we go… You'd be hard-pressed to find a musician that was as crucial to the contemporary Aussie hip-hop scene than Sampa The Great. She's internationally acclaimed, consistently progressive and devoted to her exemplary lyricism and ever-changing sound. Fresh off the release of her widely acclaimed 2019 debut album The Return, this is your chance to see Sampa do what she does best before she inevitably becomes one of the hottest acts in the world.
10:30pm: SPFDJ
Strap yourself in for a DJ set like you've never experienced before. Taking the best parts of your night so far – the power of Passengers, the attitude of The Wild Side and the prowess of Sampa The Great – SPFDJ will give you a set that's anarchical and heart-pounding, burning off all those carbs you induced earlier in the evening. It's gonna be sweaty and it's gonna be surreal, but it's gonna be the ultimate way to cap off your RCC weekend and make sure it's one you're not forgetting anytime soon.
RCC continues until Sunday 15 March. Head here for more information.

I'm scared. I had an uneasy sleep last night, worrying about a lot of things. In particular, I worried about time, about myself getting old. At age 46, it seems absurd that I'm feeling old. Yet, that's how I'm feeling these days, and it is not going away.
I have long realized that ten years is a long time, a long time that many many things will happen. Actually it is such a long time that it changes a person, almost completely ← looking back myself ten years ago, the life I had, the state I was in, the look, the body, the spirit, the activities, the people around me, the person I cared for... everything, has changed. How alarming! I remember telling Siqi of this theory while sitting on a stair in Shenzhen after a day's walking around — I felt such a wise person to say that, as if I figured out a secret of life. To her, this must sound like wisdom, cause her whole life hasn't been counted much in ten-year marks. But at the time I said it without realizing how brutal this also means, and how sad it is since nothing can be done to stop time, and nothing can be done to turn back — ten years, is such a long time, such a long time.
But then, last night I started to count how I came to be ← if counting my life in this step, it only takes two ten-years from mid-20s to where I am today, not much at all really, no wonder I still remember clearly the days of twenty years ago, still struggle with the same type of things i struggled twenty years ago, still feel I was like twenty years ago, though in reality, everything has changed, everyone has gone.
Life starts at 0, but the first ten doesn't leave much since you don't remember. Then the next ten, where Noah is in right now, he understands some, not much at all, still childish or child-like, immature, unthoughtful, lost touch of yourself like this morning that he wakes up early, sitting across the table to me at Panera doing his homework, but without know why he feels down (beats me! he is just a moody kid, sometimes I wonder), and how he should/could handle it, such a clueless, rough age.
Then, we are counting the third ten-year already(!), the prime of life — wonderful time, young, healthy, full of energy, full of possibility, full of dream, hope, fantasy, full of adventure, full of bad decisions, trials and errors, full of excitements, full of false feeling of independence, surrounded by supports, from family, friends, foes, people who want to please you, who want to take advantage of you, who want to be close to you, who want to fool you, who genuinely like or love you, who, in most cases, are also in this same period of life, thus feeling you are all alike, and you are in sync with everybody, and you are not alone, and you strive to be the same, and even to stand out. You yearn for being alone, as if the crowd around you is suffocating. But dear, it's only because you haven't tasted the truth of loneliness — you can hardly be alone at this age, that's why you feel being alone is different, cooler, and wiser. Wait till the loneliness comes to you, surrounds you, and drowns you. It's not fun.
Then, the fourth ten-year, 30-40 now. Not bad, family, kid, marriage, more adult like now, feels life could be like this, forever, busy, perhaps, career driven, most likely, as if in reach to grab the next fortune, to become the next world-changing person. But anxiety, really unimportant trivia like family, wife, husband, kids, all the wonderful things really, that start to turn color and become a source of frustration.
Then, without knowing much, 40s, the fifth ten-year now in life. Boy, don't I feel old now! I can hardly imagine when I'm in 50s, a common definition that I'll then be an old guy! My Goad, how scary — too quickly, too soon. Before you can be ready (and how can anyone be ready for this!?), it's here. No more the same body, same look, same health, same possibility, same hopefulness. Everything seems to be becoming to its end, slowing down, ramping down, turning off, losing ground. You look back, quite some miles you have covered; looking forward, quite some miles ahead. But the fun part of the journey is over, and why should I continue on then?
So this is life, counting in ten-years, such a short short short time. Ten years, so long that everything is changed; so short, that you only could to the fifth to be old. Is life long, or short then!? It's short, I would say, short for it doesn't give you a second chance, doesn't give you back what you have lost, doesn't make you stronger, better, just older, older so that you reason, to yourself, you don't need that strength anymore.
But the truth is, it's not too long, nor too short. Its only fault is that there were moments in it that you wish to stay, but can not. Like the moment we sit at the stair talking about this ten-year marks; like the trip to this unknown temple that even locals don't visit; like the recording booth in the middle of this busy, loud, arcade; like the crazily chilly weekend the cold front hit the city; like watching over the city night from top of this little hill, feeling the breeze of an early spring; like riding on the back seat of bus after saying farewell to the poor little thing who passed in our caring... if only could be kept, could be replayed, could be relived.

Sean Bean among 15 public figures to settle hacking claims against News of the World publisher
How Reach quadrupled its social media video views in a year
Does Meghan case signal judge-made privacy law or did Mail on Sunday just go too far?
By Charlotte Tobitt Twitter
The latest court victory over the Mail on Sunday from Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has prompted an outcry from free press advocates who feel the law is shifting to "favour privacy over freedom of expression".
The ruling is said to have attracted Government attention, with a Cabinet minister suggesting that a human rights law overhaul is needed.
But academics spoken to by Press Gazette suggest this is an overreaction, saying the case is a "red herring" and there has been no "drift" towards privacy.
Court of Appeal judges ruled last week that the Mail on Sunday was wrong to publish half the contents of a letter from Meghan to her father, Thomas, on both privacy and copyright grounds. They found also that a previous judge was right not to let the case go to a full trial.
However, the judges said it may have been proportionate if smaller amounts were quoted to support the newspaper's claim that it was rebutting allegations made about Mr Markle by Meghan's friends in People magazine.
The case has prompted a groundswell of concern from political and media circles about its potential privacy implications.
The concerns echo the view from PA's former legal editor Mike Dodd last year that the growing risk from privacy laws to freedom of expression will "go even further" before the public realises things have gone too far. Similarly Press Gazette editor-in-chief Dominic Ponsford wrote earlier this year that privacy is now a much bigger threat to publishers than libel.
[Read more: Five lessons for the media over Meghan's Mail on Sunday privacy victory]
Matthew Dando, a partner at media, technology and IP law firm Wiggin LLP in the defamation and litigation practice, felt the Meghan ruling has "very concerning consequences for freedom of expression".
He criticised "judge-made law" and "a trend that now in my view is moving much more towards being pro-privacy than pro-freedom of expression".
Dando told Press Gazette: "I think that is concerning, and there needs to be some way back to redress the balance.
"Because in reality, there's now a sort of prima facie or presumptive privacy right in quite a few situations which is the starting point and then the burden will be on the publisher to displace that – which creates an issue in terms of law because I don't think privacy should be presumptively more important."
Dando pointed out that, unlike libel, publishers cannot use the truth to defend a privacy case: "Privacy is effectively a blanket on reporting things which are true, which makes it particularly dangerous, I think."
There have been three cases in recent years creating a precedent of privacy, although unlike the Meghan case they all relate to those suspected of criminal activity: Cliff Richard's landmark win against the BBC, an anonymous businessman's win against Bloomberg which has continued to the Supreme Court, and a man arrested but never charged in connection with the Manchester Arena terror attack who won against Mail Online.
They followed the landmark Max Mosley privacy action versus the News of the World in 2008 which spelled the end for much kiss-and-tell journalism.
Dando said the Meghan case "does take it one step further" because the judges found that even if her letter was prepared with her communications team with the view that it may be made public, this still did not displace her privacy rights.
He also raised concerns that powerful and public figures are now permitted through privacy law to "control agendas and curate personas and curate their own image".
The uncertainty created by new rulings like this can also lead to self-censorship and editorial conservatism within newsrooms, he added, as editors fear a negative judgment.
Asked what he wants to see happen next, Dando said: "I think there definitely needs to be a reversal of the current very clear trend, which is to favour privacy over freedom of expression. I think freedom of expression needs to be bolstered and privacy subordinated from where we are now."
He added that this would ideally happen through Court of Appeal decisions but that it seemed some sort of legislative intervention would be needed.
The Daily Mail reported that senior figures in Government felt a law change may be needed to redress the balance between privacy and free speech as the case took things "too far" and there was a "concern about where this leaves free speech and the freedom of the press", according to one Whitehall source.
It reported that an unnamed Cabinet minister said the case went beyond what was intended by Parliament for the right to privacy in the Human Rights Act, which came into force in 2000, with too little weight given to freedom of expression.
They told the Mail: "MPs never agreed a privacy law because they knew it would be used by the rich and famous to cover up their misdeeds.
"The balance between privacy and free speech is clearly wrong. If this is what the law says then it needs to change. It feels like we have had judge-invented law. It draws on laws passed by Parliament but it is not what Parliament ever intended and we should correct that."
The Daily Mail article also editorialised on the theme, adding: "Any change in the law would not affect the progress or outcome of the case. But it could prevent it being used by the wealthy and powerful to block press scrutiny of their activities."
Similarly, a Telegraph leader column said the two human rights are "supposed to have equal weight, and yet courts have increasingly favoured privacy over free expression".
It added: "…what would be better is for the Government to put a free speech Bill before Parliament that would clarify the law and make double standards harder to uphold."
On Sunday, Justice Secretary Dominic Raab, who has previously vowed to overhaul the Human Rights Act, told Times Radio: "I think the drift towards continental-style privacy laws, innovated in the courtroom, not by elected lawmakers in the House of Commons, is something that we can and should correct."
However, two academics spoken to by Press Gazette disagreed there had been any such "drift" in the law.
Paul Lashmar, an investigative journalist and former head of the journalism department at City University, told Press Gazette the Markle case had "just got caught up" in the Government's attempt to portray the Human Rights Act as a "faulty piece of EU legislation".
He said he did not think the "interests of journalism as a whole is going to be helped by any of this" and that politicians are using a "particular journalistic instance, a topical and controversial case, to help undermine an Act that most people I know that think about these things think is best left in place".
Lashmar said that he asked his ethics students at City last year whether or not they would have published Meghan's letter and to justify it either way. He said that of dozens of answers he read, not one attempted to justify publication.
He said he personally did not think the case was the right one to argue about freedom of expression on because he had "serious doubts about whether it's justifiable in a public interest argument".
"As an investigative journalist I have relied very heavily on being able to make coherent public interest arguments," he added. "The goings on between Meghan and her father do not in my mind constitute a major public interest issue, and certainly one I wouldn't want to fight."
Lashmar added: "I think using the Human Rights Act and freedom of expression to justify what I don't think was in the public interest in the first place seems to be a complete diversion or red herring. It's there to distract us."
[Read more: Privacy is biggest threat to press freedom in the UK warned legal editor Mike Dodd as he left PA]
Dr Hayleigh Bosher, a senior lecturer in copyright and intellectual property law at Brunel University who has been following the Markle case, shared the same view.
She told Press Gazette Meghan had a "clear case" on both the privacy and copyright issues of her case, and that the use of the letter on either point could not be argued as being proportionate because so much of it was used.
The original Mail on Sunday story was headlined: "World exclusive: Meghan's shattering letter to her father". Dr Bosher said the freedom of expression argument failed in part because the article did not appear to be genuinely intended to further Mr Markle's freedom of speech in the wake of the People article, but instead was "about all the drama about Meghan".
Both academics pointed out that the UK was at the forefront of enshrining human rights, including privacy, in law before it was adopted by the EU.
Dr Bosher said: Raab's comments about a European version of freedom of speech were "very provocative… but that's not what happened here".
"Even if [Meghan] lost on the privacy argument, she would have 100% always won on the copyright argument anyway," she added. "So it wouldn't make a difference. So he's very much using that momentum, the criticism of this thing – well, that's what my view is – to try to support his campaign for a homegrown human rights law…
"It's not that there isn't any freedom of expression, it's that they infringed on her privacy in a disproportionate manner."
Even a representative from Article 19, a campaign group that fights for freedom of expression, felt Raab's words were overblown.
David Banisar, the group's head of transparency, told Press Gazette similar conversations have gone on about privacy overreach for decades and that he had not seen a material change in the amount of cases or their impact on journalism in that time. Asked if there is a general "drift" towards privacy, he said: "No more than there ever has been."
"Rich people are probably abusing it like they abuse the libel law and every other law we have in this country for their own good but no, I don't think we're freight-training towards disaster," he said.
Instead Banisar pointed to a number of other laws he felt are threatening free speech more than privacy: the libel laws that enable the rich and powerful to bring so-called strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) cases, the proposed Official Secrets Act reform that it is feared could see journalists treated like spies, proposed restrictions on protests, and the Academic Freedom Bill that Article 19 said could have a chilling effect on universities.
Banisar said of Raab: "It's nice that he suddenly cares about free speech, but maybe he can care about it in a more useful way."
