Why Zanzibar Can Become Africa's Dubai
By Editorial_Staff
AFRICANGLOBE – Lying off the East African coast in the Indian Ocean, this semi-autonomous part of Tanzania, is interesting for a number of reasons. It is an Archipelago that has a number of small islands attached, the most notable being Unguja, which houses the capital city, and Pemba. Zanzibar may just be one of the oldest regions in Africa with respect to human habitation as empirical evidence suggests humans have lived there for some 20,000 years beginning from the time of the later Stone Age.
The island has had a unique cultural heritage from as far back as the year 1503 when it was totally owned and controlled by the Portugese, around which time slave trade had flourished greatly, till the 19th century when the British took over. Eventually, the islands gained independence from the United Kingdom as the year 1963 was drawing to a close and merged with mainland Tanganyika to form what is today known as Tanzania (a portmanteau of both merging entities). Zanzibar remains, till date, a semi-autonomous part of Tanzania and is run by the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar made up of the Revolutionary Council and House of Representatives.
Like Dubai, Like Zanzibar
Zanzibar and Dubai share some resemblances so striking that Zanzibar could become Africa's equivalent of Dubai. Geographically, both lie on coastal areas surrounded by giant masses of water, this makes both regions excellent hubs for shipping exports and imports. Also, both areas have significant tourism potential still because of their geographical setting which supports all sorts of marine activities including fishing and recreation. They are both limited in land size and are interlinked in their oceanic role as trade hubs.
Furthermore, both nations share histories dating back to the early years of human civilization. Dubai was first inhabited by nomadic cattle herders and came under the control of other regions, mostly caliphates, from which it acquired the Islam religion. Sometime in 1833, Dubai gained some form of independence and started exploring various means to thrive economically. This middle eastern region once thrived on exporting pearls, but after the collapse of the international pearl market due to the innovation of artificial pearls, alternative income streams were, once again, sought. Oil was discovered in 1966 but the nation has successfully diversified its economy from being totally dependent on oil by developing its tourism and services sector. Today, less than 5 percent of its revenues come from oil.
Tourism Growing Fast
Zanzibar, which recently marked 51 years of independence, may be following this same trajectory. Tourism has been the fastest growing sector in the country and now accounts for somewhere between 25 to 27 percent of the island's GDP as well as 70 to 85 percent of foreign earnings. Most businesses in the country, including fishing, entrepreneurship, banking, and entertainment, rely almost solely on tourists.
Developing this sector has created ripple effects that echo in virtually every other sector. The Ministry of Labour and Public Service estimates that 40,000 people may be indirectly employed by the tourism sector while half that number are directly employed. When these figures are analyzed vis-a-vis the total population of the island, which is just a little above one million, this sector alone accounts employs about 5 percent of the total population.
In a bid to attract more tourists, the government continue to invest in roads, airports, hotels, medical services and other similar services, this also impacts on the quality of life of the inhabitants. According to Mr Saleh Ferouz, Executive Secretary of the Zanzibar Tourism Commission, a total of about 114 tour operators have been registered to serve the increasing number of tourists. Also, there now exists 7,313 rooms in more than 7,995 hotels including guest houses. These include 26 five-star hotels, nine four-star, 43 three-star, 6 two-star and other hotels.
"Tourism is good for us. The number of tourists who visited us in 2007 was 143,282 up from only 29,211 in 1986 when efforts to promote tourism started with a lot of obstacles including little knowledge about tourists and wrong perception on the industry at that time. We just need to advertise, and improve services including security," he said.
Beyond boosting tourism, however, the government continues to make other strategic moves, including the introduction of free education at all levels, the abolition of classes in the school system, free medical care and water supply to all. The government has also ensured better housing options for the people by constructing massive blocks of flats in various parts of Unguja and Pemba while also encouraging the citizenry to build their own modern houses.
The last 51 years could be said to be years of economic reconstruction, which will serve as a sure foundation for greater things to come. Authorities have reportedly started exploring ways of transforming the archipelago into a regional hub where business people from across East, Central and Southern Africa can do their wholesale shopping; this is very much the Dubai strategy. With plans to build a bigger and ultramodern terminal at the Zanzibar International Airport, this can happen in the next few years.
With these fundamentals in place, the nation must now focus on scaling up, leveraging its enterprising people and infrastructure to turn all its proposed plans into physical reality.

Any Canadian regardless of age or income, who has a medical condition or disability that has lasted, or is expected to last 12 months or longer may be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit.
So why do 500,000+ Canadians never question whether they qualify for Disability Tax Credit eligibility? The term "disability" is one of the most widely misunderstood terms.
That. combined with the lack of clarity around Disability Tax Credit is unfortunately astonishing.
Why is the term "Disability" so misleading?
The term "Disability" is extremely misleading, and often leads people to believe they do not qualify as they are not "disabled" enough. There are approx. 500,000 Canadians that could be eligible to claim the Disability Tax Credit, yet have never applied. The end result is that there is unfortunately millions of dollars that go unclaimed every year. There are in fact countless conditions that may qualify for this program. Canadians that may qualify for the Disability Tax Credit could receive a refund of up to $40,000 from the Canada Revenue Agency, depending on how long you have been affected from your condition, income level, age, and a number of other factors.
What are the categories that can qualify?
Is your ability to walk affected? Do you have aches and pains or have to stop and take breaks when walking due to pain or shortness of breath? If you were to walk the distance of 100m or 1 city block, would it take you longer than the average person? If so, you may qualify for the Disability Tax Credit under Walking. Some common conditions that may qualify are Arthritis, Knee/Hip Replacement, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia.
Has your ability to feed yourself / eat during meal times been affected? Feeding oneself and challenges surrounding this can come from a variety of different reasons. Physiological challenges and psychological/behavioral challenges are a few examples of why someones ability to feed themselves may be impacted.
Has your ability to dress yourself been affected? If you suffer from limited mobility, pain or stiffness, and take longer than the average person to dress, or require assistance from another person to dress, you may qualify for the Disability Tax Credit under Dressing.
Stuttering, Lisps, Speech Disorders, and Voice Disorders are a few examples of conditions that may qualify for the Disability Tax Credit under "Speaking". Typically these conditions are diagnosed at an early age, however in some cases they are not present until later in life. Many speech disorders can be treated with therapy, however depending on how you are affected on a daily basis, you may qualify for the Disability Tax Credit.
Do you have difficulty hearing? Do you find yourself having to lip read? If you suffer from hearing loss (depending on the severity) you may qualify for the Disability Tax Credit. Hearing enables us to interpret and reciprocate a spoken language. Treatment for hearing loss predominantly comes in the form of hearing aids or ear implants. Sign language is another option for people with deafness to express themselves and communicate with others.
Do you go to the bathroom more often than the average person? Do you often experience pain and cramping causing you to spend additional time in the bathroom? If so, you may qualify for the Disability Tax Credit under Elimination. IBS, Crohn's, and Colitis are examples of conditions that may qualify under Elimination.
ADD / ADHD, Anxiety and Depression are all examples of conditions that may qualify under Mental Functions Necessary for Everyday Life. This Disability Tax Credit is dependent upon how you are affected on a daily basis from your condition, rather than the condition itself.
If you are administering insulin you may qualify for the Disability Tax Credit. You can be either a Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetic to claim this. Some doctors will say "you must be on a pump to claim this" where others will say "a pump makes things easier this is only for people injecting". The reality is BOTH can qualify as there is no restriction on how the insulin is administered.
If you are on Dialysis you may also qualify under Life Sustaining Therapy.


Two sets of lateral inhibitory nets are analysed for their ability to support long-range competition between distant cortical sites of activity. Both are found to be effective. One of these, the nucleus reticularis of the thalamus, is found to support global wave activity promoting a single or highly correlated cortical focus for posterior attention. The other is seen as giving rise to active memory in frontal cortical areas, as well as supporting anterior attention. It also allows for growth and rotation of population vectors.

Born in the north side of Mexico ( Chihuahua, Chih), I was always surrounded by music, all styles... ranchero, pop, disco, bolero, classic rock, cumbia, tango, balada, heavy metal...you name it.
It wasn't until I turned 18 that I decided to do something with my voice... and began to take private voice lessons. To my surprise I turn out to have a great vocal range that I wasn't aware of!!
I was in Forth Worth, Texas when I experimented with different bands, unfortunately, they ended up in nothing... we had too many ideas or worse, no ideas at all.
With pride I present my very first CD "POSSESSION", in this CD I collect some of my own personal experiences and some lived by others.

"Tata Motors History
Tata entered the commercial vehicle sector in 1945 after forming a joint venture with Daimler-Benz of Germany. After years of dominating the commercial vehicle market in India, Tata Motors entered the passenger vehicle market in 1991 by launching the Tata Sierra, a multi utility vehicle. Tata subsequently launched the Tata Estate (1992; a station wagon design based on the earlier 'TataMobile' (1989), a light commercial vehicle), the Tata Sumo (1994; LCV) and the Tata Safari (1998; India's first sports utility vehicle).
Tata launched the Indica in 1998, the first fully indigenous Indian passenger car. Although initially criticized by auto-analysts, its excellent fuel economy, powerful engine and an aggressive marketing strategy made it one of the best selling cars in the history of the Indian automobile industry. A newer version of the car, named Indica V2, was a major improvement over the previous version and quickly became a mass-favourite. Tata Motors also successfully exported large quantities of the car to South Africa. The success of Indica played a key role in the growth of Tata Motors.
In 2004 Tata Motors acquired Daewoo's South Korea-based truck manufacturing unit, Daewoo Commercial Vehicles Company, later renamed Tata Daewoo.
On 27 September 2004, Tata Motors rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to mark the listing of Tata Motors.
In 2005, Tata Motors acquired a 21% controlling stake in the Spanish bus and coach manufacturer Hispano Carrocera. Tata Motors continued its market area expansion through the introduction of new products such as buses (Starbus & Globus, jointly developed with subsidiary Hispano Carrocera) and trucks (Novus, jointly developed with subsidiary Tata Daewoo).
In 2006, Tata formed a joint venture with the Brazil-based Marcopolo, Tata Marcopolo Bus, to manufacture fully built buses and coaches.
In 2008, Tata Motors acquired the British car maker Jaguar Land Rover, manufacturer of the Jaguar, Land Rover and Daimler luxury car brands, from Ford Motor Company.
In May 2009 Tata unveiled the Tata World Truck range jointly developed with Tata Daewoo; the range went in sale in South Korea, South Africa, the SAARC countries and the Middle-East at the end of 2009.
Tata acquired full ownership of Hispano Carrocera in 2009.
In 2009, its Lucknow plant was awarded the "Best of all" Rajiv Gandhi National Quality Award.
In 2010, Tata Motors acquired an 80% stake in the Italian design and engineering company Trilix for €1.85 million. The acquisition formed part of the company's plan to enhance its styling and design capabilities.
In 2012, Tata Motors announced it would invest around 6 billion in the development of Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicles in collaboration with DRDO.
In 2013, Tata Motors announced it will sell in India, the first vehicle in the world to run on compressed air (engines designed by the French company MDI) and dubbed "Mini CAT".
On 26 January 2014, the Managing Director Karl Slym was found dead. He fell from the 22nd floor to the 4th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel in Bangkok where he was to attend a meeting of Tata Motors Thailand."

Following the controversy and people bickering about the handle this week, the @Bitcoin account detailed that it believed it was already being unfairly restricted. "Any journalists want to write about how Jack Dorsey (CEO of Twitter) is restricting accounts that are critical of one of his portfolio companies?" asked the Bitcoin handle on March 23. Twitter has also been accused of censorship and deplatforming for quite some time by many different critics .
"That said, the over-reliance on the Lightning Network for scaling and extreme focus on decentralization with the risk of high fees at any moment is a major limiting factor," Lingham continued .
Another example that describes the situation perfectly was when independent cryptocurrency researcher Hasu Fly explained the set of circumstances that led to Bitcoin forks in December 2018. Within his memorable essay " Unpacking Bitcoin's Social Contract, " Hasu noted that usually Bitcoin's social contract cannot fork and typically only one contract remains after a split. However, the cryptocurrency researcher explained that the BCH fork was a rare and different story.

Turkish training camps for the Free Syrian Army
Free Syrian Army forces have been subjected to intensive military training by the Turkish armed forces since the announcement of the end of the Euphrates Shield operation in March, Anadolu agency quoted Turkish military sources confirmed.
According to those military sources, the Turkish army has set up training camps in northern Syria, near the border with Turkey, to train servicemen of the Free Syrian Army, the training includes the use of various types of weapons, physical education, and attend courses both new and former individuals.
"A new free Syrian army is being born there, and its new capabilities will emerge after the exercises, in potential operations (in Syria)," Turkish military officials said in the training area.
The Operation Euphrates Shield was launched on 24 August 2016 in cooperation between the Turkish forces and the Free Syrian Army aimed of purifying the Syrian border with Turkey from IS Organization and the militia of the People's Protection Units (YPG). On 29 March, Ankara announced the successful completion of the operation.

Newcastle Knights emerge as shock contender to sign Canterbury Bulldogs veteran Kieran Foran: report
Canterbury Bulldogs veteran Kieran Foran might not be so keen to stay at the club, and instead make a massive move to join the Newcastle Knights.
According to a News Corp report, Newcastle and the Wests Tigers are possible destinations for Foran after he didn't agree to a reduced contract offer from the Bulldogs, estimated to be less than $400,000 for one year.
Foran was tipped to remain in blue and white for another NRL season however the report claims he is now in contract negotiations with Canterbury after his manager requested "the club revise their first offer".
"The first conversations are always a little more challenging," Bulldogs CEO Andrew Hill said.
"And no doubt we are aware that some clubs will be looking at Kieran after those first conversations. We will continue to talk to Kieran and his agent in the coming weeks."

Foran and Knights star Mitchell Pearce are close friends having grown up playing together and the pair would make a formidable halves comination, however Knights recruitment manager Alex McKinnon denied the club was in talks with the Bulldogs about Foran.
"At the moment we don't have the money for that," McKinnon said.
"Obviously we would love it, but I don't think we have the room to see someone like Foran in a Knights jersey."
It is not yet known if the Bulldogs will make a more attractive offer to Foran and said they "are waiting to see what Kieran wants to do".

Stuck in a Trance: Hypnotist Chris Jones Performs Hypnosis on Students in Show

S.Alshaiba/The Phillipian
As a final act to conclude his show, hypnotist Chris Jones hypnotized students into believing that he was Drake and proceeded to perform a medley of famous Drake songs, as pictured above.
Staring blankly into space, a row of hypnotized students slowly raised their arms in front of their bodies to mimic zombies, mindlessly following the commands of hypnotist Chris Jones. The students then began to wander offstage towards the crowd, placing their hands on the shoulders of a random audience member and opening their mouths to pretend to eat their "victims," prompting roaring laughter from the audience.
Sophie Smith '17, one of the hypnotized students, said, "I've seen videos of [the performance]. I don't really remember. It was definitely really bizarre to see videos of myself and have no recollection of what I was doing, but I could still recognize that it was myself. I felt completely normal after [waking up], just a little bit confused because memories weren't really adding up, and I thought that I wasn't hypnotized, but I also couldn't remember what the people around me were saying. Just things didn't add up."
Throughout the performance, which took place last Friday evening in Kemper Auditorium, Jones "took control" of the students' minds, commanding them to perform various humorous acts, such as a riding a broken rollercoaster, acting casual at a party in front of the police, and attending a prom dance with a random audience member.
"I think what was unique was that [Jones] wasn't really trying to embarrass people as much as just make people laugh, and I thought that that was a really good approach to the hypnosis… Everyone was really involved, whether or not you were hypnotized," said Sarah Stack '19, an audience member.
Students who were initially conscious and sitting in the audience also became hypnotized as the show progressed. According to Georgia Ezell '19, who was hypnotized from her seat, she began to gradually go into a trance while enjoying Jones's show.
"Even though I was finding things funny, I couldn't laugh, and I couldn't move my face. Just progressively I lost the ability to even express myself. Even when my friends asked me if I was okay, I began to cry because I couldn't let them know that I was fine and safe. I was sort of in denial that anything was happening. I cried even though I was happy and fine. I just couldn't control my body. My heart beat really really fast, and it was just a surreal experience because I've never been the kind of person that is susceptible to things like that," said Ezell.
Jones, who originally studied magic in graduate school, was inspired to explore hypnosis instead after witnessing its validity and benefits first-hand.
"I was shy and magic was my way to make friends… I was a magician first, but I wasn't very good at magic because I kept telling the secrets. And, in [graduate] school, I saw a doctor help a woman give birth without pain, without shots and pills, through hypnosis, and I was like, 'Maybe it's real.' And then I saw a show in college and said, 'I'd like to try that.' And in grad school I wrote my thesis on hypnosis. After that, I did it professionally," said Jones.
Jones is best known for his appearance on the tenth season of the reality television series "America's Got Talent." On the show, Jones hypnotized television host and "America's Got Talent" judge Howie Mandel to temporarily overcome his mysophobia, or his fear of germs and contamination.
"[Being on the show] was fun. It was [also] stressful because I didn't know if it was going to work or not, but when it did, that was a really incredible feeling. I don't want to sound cliché, but I feel like that might have been what being born felt like. Like I walked off stage, and I was a whole new person," said Jones.
Currently, rather than focusing on clinical work, Jones travels around the country performing hypnotist shows in high schools and universities all over the United States in order to raise awareness of hypnosis. According to Jones, his favorite aspects of performing are meeting new people, seeing different places, and eating good food.
"I like meeting new people. I'm still an introvert, so I like being the center of attention for a little while, and then going offstage and no one knowing who I am, like being left alone. And it's fun, after the show I'm going to eat whatever I want to eat, and then I fly back to Chicago, [my hometown, and I] get to see family. But traveling is cool, especially if I travel with a person. Like I just came back from Montreal and that was fun. So seeing new places is the fun part as well as eating," said Jones.
After seeing the performance, many students in the audience who were originally skeptical of hypnosis were convinced of its validity.
"I was kind of wary about it [before the performance]. I wasn't really sure if it'd be real or not because I've seen hypnotists before, but I never really believed it because I didn't know the people's personalities who were on stage, so I didn't know if they could keep a straight face for a long time or if they could actually act it out. But, here, seeing people that I knew and went to classes with and see around, I know what they usually act like, so I feel like after this show I believe in [hypnotism] 100 percent," said Anya Zhong '19, an audience member.


This series specification describes three chemist classifications used to perform a broad range of staff and supervisory chemistry work concerning agricultural, environmental, natural resources, or consumer protection, and environmental or public health.

Q: Cannot evaluate conditional breakpoint in Visual Studio 2017 I have a really really frustrating error in Visual Studio 2017
I am running code via NUnit tests and get the error below

The condition for a breakpoint failed to execute.
  The condition was 'value == 22'.
  The error returned was 'Evaluation of method System.Decimal.op_Equality() calls into native method System.AppDomain.GetId().
  Evaluation of native methods in this context is not supported.'.
  Click OK to stop at this breakpoint

Can anyone help please? I have tried with managed compatibility on and off neither work.
If I have managed compatibility off, I can't debug anything at all.
public decimal MyValue
{
    get => _value;
    set
    {
        if (_value == value)
        {
            return;
        }

    _value = value;
    HasChanged = true;
}

Paul

A: There are multiple reports similar to this issue in developer community of visual studio. In one of them it is stated as;

We have fixed the problem in the upcoming preview of Visual Studio 2019. Thank you for your feedback!

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/314822/the-condition-for-a-breakpoint-failed-to-execute-e.html
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/377921/evaluation-of-native-methods-in-this-context-is-no.html
It looks like this bug in the debugger exists for more than a year

A: if you use a single equals sign in the conditional expression, it works.  If you use two equal signs (like in C#), it won't.
iFcn == 2 // generates error message
iFcn = 2 //works great
(using VS 2019)
Hope this helps.

How 'bout a cup of tea?
You know that moment when you're meeting someone for tea (or coffee, whatever the preference) and you step into the cafe, place your order, sit down, and they ask you simply how you're doing? And suddenly you are pouring out your life story as if all of these words, feelings, and stories have been bottled up inside you for so long you can't even organize or get everything straight. And suddenly, every thought you've kept squared away in your cluttered mind is out there–and it's perhaps the most vulnerable, freeing feeling you've ever known.
For as long as I can remember, I've been writing. From my very first 2nd grade fuzzy blue diary, to the embarrassing fanfics and notebook series I scribbled in religiously from 6th grade to senior year of high school, and all of the emotional Xanga/Livejournal/Tumblr posts and journals I kept in between… I've been writing to record my thoughts and whereabouts for so long. And that's where this blog started. Over the years, with all that has happened in and around my life, I've been sure to keep everything private. Where it's safe.
Here's to taking a leap and finally, truly, putting my authentic self (including my adventures, ideas, likes, dislikes, hobbies, opinions, and my faith) out there on this blog. There are things I know to be true, and there are still things I'm still trying to figure out–my theories.
Come sit, and have a cup of tea (or coffee, whatever your preference) with me.
You're more than welcome to stay.
ABOUT THIS BLOG: Welcome to my tiny, creative corner of the internet. I write about everything from short stories to arts and culture pieces, to current events and social trends.

Blue Dart banks on growth in auto spares movement
News Clip : Accent South (BS), Chennai
Car makers are taking customer service seriously. The courier and logistic company , Blue Dart says that there has been a rapid growth in transportation of auto spares to 13,000 locations across the country from South India, at a premium price.
The importance given by the car companies to bring the auto spare parts to the dealers in the shortest time possible seems to be driving the growth of transporting auto spares at a premium price.
Addressing mediapersons in Chennai on Wednesday, Malcolm Monterio, managing director , Blue Dart Express Ltd, said that the transportation of auto spare was a small segment currently, but it had been growing at a faster pace than banking, information technology, insurance, among others. However , he added that banking was the largest contributor to Blue Dart.
Gopa Kumar, vice president (south), Blue Dart, said that the growth in movement of auto spares had been reported in the South in the last one year. There was a demand to airlift auto components as well but it was only for the auto spares which are transported in the premium price category.
The premium segment charges almost 100 per cent more than the regular category, he added.
While auto components were heavier and were only transported to the manufacturihg units, auto spares were sent to various distributors he added
With car companies like Hyundai, Ford India and Toyota having manufacturing bases in South, transportation of auto spares to dealers has grown in this region, compared to the West, North and East.
Kumar said that companies preferred to pay a premium for auto spares as it is not stocked in various locations. Whenever there was an order from distributors, the auto companies sent them as fast as possible, he added.
Blue Dart aims to tap the growing hardware imports from Southeast Asia to Chennai Port for domestic distribution. The company has added an integrated superhub in Chennai, the other hubs being in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata.
The company handled about 1.25 lakh tonnes of laods during calender year 2005 and total exports out of Chennai and Bangalore amounted to 42,000 tonnes. The cargo movement in the country is estimated in value terms of about Rs 1,100 crore.
With the boom in the small car segment, the potential of transporting auto spares are also expected to register exponential growth.

Gotham: The Blade's Path Sees the Return of [SPOILER]

[The following article contains SPOILERS for Gotham: The Blade's Path.]
Tonight's Gotham ended with a shocking twist - the return of one of the original characters who seemed to have left the city for good: Doctor Leslie Thompkins. The reveal came at the end of the episode, titled 'The Blade's Path', which saw Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) finally kill Ra's al Ghul (Alexander Siddig) with the knife that everyone has been after this season. 'The Blade's Path' also focused on Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor) and his relationship with Sofia Falcone (Crystal Reed).
And as if all that wasn't enough, 'The Blade's Path' also saw the return of two of the show's longest-standing characters. Butch Gilzean (Drew Powell), has returned from the dead as Solomon Grundy (with his hand back in place but his mind very much missing), who is now teaming up with the Riddler (Cory Michael Smith). In addition, the final moments of the episode brought back Dr. Leslie Thompkins (Morena Baccarin), who we last saw alive, but leaving Gotham city.

The reveal is only a few seconds long, and is the very last scene of the episode. Riddler and Butch/Solomon are headed to an underground boxing ring to fund their strange new partnership, and are sent to see the doctor before Butch can compete. The scene cuts to a beaten man being tossed on the table, and a lackey calling out that the boss wants the Doctor to take a look at the new guy. A voice replies that she'll be right there, before we see the back of the Doctor's head as she swigs from a bottle of liquor. Finally, the Doctor turns, revealing Leslie Thompkins.
Leslie has had a tough time of it in Gotham City so far. In the earliest seasons, she fell in love with Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie), but was tormented by his ex, Barbara (Erin Richards) who was going completely crazy. Leslie and Jim had some good times, but their relationship ended when Leslie became pregnant, and left Gotham to start a new life somewhere less dangerous. Jim eventually tried to find her, but discovered her with a new man. Last season, Leslie returned with her new fiance, Mario (James Carpinello), and seemed to be doing well again (although she had lost the baby). However, Mario ended up infected with the Tetch virus, and Jim Gordon shot and killed him. Leslie then intentionally infected herself with the virus, turned into Dark-Leslie, and tormented Jim for a while, before she was cured and left the city a second time.
Now she's back, and while Leslie has been cured, she still looks a lot like Dark Leslie did - and has fallen a long way from her early days as a sweet and scrubbed medical examiner. It seems that she's been hiding out in Gotham's underground scene, putting her skills to use as a doctor for the boxers, and putting her demons to rest by hitting the bottle. Although she is not in contact with Jim, it's likely that she is still a little bit obsessed with him, so these two are bound to meet once more. She may end up bumping into Barbara, who also returned this season (after being killed), and that is sure to be a fascinating meeting, given the history between the two. We'll have to wait and see what new horrors Gotham has in store for poor Leslie, but it's sure to be interesting.

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya (26 October) -- Labor union representatives in Cagayan Valley region recently supported the call of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to amend the more than three-decade old Labor Code of the Philippines (LCP).
Grace Ursua, DOLE officer-in-charge for Cagayan Valley said the proposed amendments to the LCP were timely with the lengthy existence of the country's monumental code.
"These amendments are needed to enable the LCP provisions to be more receptive to the needs of both management and laborers in the private sector considering the economic influences of the 21st century," Ursua said in a statement.
Ursua said DOLE recently conducted two successive consultations attended by representatives of labor unions from electric cooperatives, bottling companies and colleges and universities in the region.
She said it was during those two activities that specific issues and concerns on several salient features of the LCP were crafted with innovative proposals necessary for the comprehensive review of the code.
Among the proposed amendments made were; inclusion of a provision to penalize officials handling labor cases for their failure to decide within the mandated time frame without any justifiable reason; lowering of the optional retirement age of 60.
incorporation/inclusion in the code of the compressed work week; well-defined provision for the security of tenure especially on matters concerning dismissal and contract-out positions occupied by the regular employees under D.O 18-02 and the 5 to 6 months contractualization of employees and the incorporation in the labor code the anti-illegal recruitment campaign laws.

Creative Division (The Peasant and the Geese)
Countries: Russia
Not so very long ago a very rich Russian nobleman lived between two peasant farmers. One of the peasants had sufficient rubles to live comfortably. The other had very few rubles saved and had to work very hard every day just to feed his family.
The poor peasant had a very large family. His farm was small. But even so, it took a great deal of time to do all the work that had to be done. His children were too young to be of much help, and his wife had to spend all of her time taking care of the children. There was not enough extra money to pay for a hired hand. So the peasant worked from sunrise to sunset and sometimes farmed by moonlight.
Each night after dark, the peasant and his wife always found time to talk and loked for solutions to their problems. "We have only enough grain to feed the children porridge in the morning and don't have enough grain left to feed the goose," said the husband.
"That's good," said his wife, trying to look on the bright side of every situation, "because we have no salt left to flavor it and no bread left to stuff it. Our children will start the day off with full stomachs, and we won't worry about the goose until tomorrow.
In the morning, the peasant's wife had an idea that she shared with him. "Since we have no food for the goose and no salt or bread to cook it with," she suggested, "why not give it as a gift to our rich neighbor. Perhaps, he will give us something in return for it."
"You are clever as usual," the peasant told his wife and took the goose under his arm to the house of his rich neighbor.
He was met at the door of the rich mansion by his wealthy neighbor. "Welcome," said his wealthy neighbor. "How can I help you?" He expected for the man to beg for food or money and was prepared to reject his pleas. A man does not get rich by giving money away!
"Well, sir, I brought you a gift from my family," answered the peasant.
"A gift? But, you are poor! It's not right for a poor man to give presents to the wealthy." Then he felt a bit ashamed that he had suspected that the peasant had come to his door to beg. He tried to cover up his embarrassment by making an excuse to reject the gift. "It's a small goose anyway. My family is large. I have a wife, two sons and two daughters and myself to feed. The goose would not be enough for a whole meal, so perhaps you had better take it back home."
The poor peasant continued, "I can show you how to divide it fairly so everyone had enough to eat if you would care to cook the goose for your dinner tonight," he stated with a smile on his face. I can come back this evening and demonstrate my skills at dividing the goose for you."
The nobleman was filled with curiosity and took the goose inside and handed it to his cook. He returned to the peasant and said, "Thank you for your gift. Your goose will grace our table tonight. I am anxious to see your skills at dividing the goose."
The peasant went home to his wife to await the evenings meal. The two worked together to watch the children and do the farm work at the same time and shared their ideas for dividing up the goose. He put on his cleanest shirt and washed extra well before returning to the nobleman's home for dinner.
The nobleman opened the door for the peasant and saw him standing there with an empty plate and a sharp carving knife in his hand. The cook had stuffed the goose with a dressing made from bread, eggs, herbs and mushrooms. It looked to be twice the size as it was when he had given it to the rich neighbor. The table was filled with soup and vegetables and plenty to eat, even if the goose had not been served. In fact, the peasant licked his lips as he looked at the meal before him. Then, peasant took up the carving knife.
The family sat around the table expecting to have a bit of fun at the poor man's expense. No person could carve up a goose evenly among six people. But, the peasant put a serious look on his face and began to carve.
"You are the head of the family," he said to the nobleman. "Therefore, you should have the head. He cut off the head and neck of the goose and laid it on the nobleman's plate.
"You sit across the table from your husband, so you should have the tail." With this, he cut the tail off the goose and laid it on the wife's plate.
"Your two sons are always running around, wearing out their legs and feet. So, they shall have the legs and feet of the goose." He cut off the legs and feet and laid one on each boy's plate.
Then he cut off the two wings and gave one to each daughter. "You two ladies look like angels, except you do not have wings, and I know you both will fly away and get married when you grow up. So I give you the wings."
Then the peasant took the bowls of food the cook had placed on the table and quickly scooped equal amounts of each dish on everyone's plate. So, you see - each of you has an equal portion of the goose and a full plate to eat. And since I am only a poor peasant, I should take what is left so there is no arguing among you about who gets the leftovers. He then scooped up the largest part of the goose and the leftover potatoes, vegetables and bread and started for the door.
The nobleman and his family exploded with laughter. "This was the best entertainment we have had in a long time, he told the peasant. I must give you something in return for the goose. At this, he took a small sack filled with rubles and handed it to the peasant who took it with glee.
The peasant returned home with food for his family and money to ease his burdens. He was able to buy an extra cow to provide milk for his children and an ox to pull his plow, turn his mill and pul his cart. With the help from the animals, he began to make more rubles from his small farm and had more time to spend with his family.
The story could have ended here, except like with most stories, one person's good fortune brings about jealousy from another person. In this story, it was the wealthier peasant who lived on the other side of the rich nobleman. The wealthy peasant saw the new cow and the ox. He also saw that the farm was looking better and that his neighbor was taking time to play with the children once in a while instead of always working.
"How did you suddenly get enough rubles to buy a cow and an ox? Did someone in your family pass away and leave you money?" the man asked rudely to the peasant's wife.
"Goodness no," replied the wife. My husband gave the nobleman and his family a goose for dinner. The nobleman was so happy that he gave us a sack of coins that we have used wisely to help improve our lives.
The wealthier peasant was upset. He hurried home to tell his own wife about the sudden good fortune of their neighbor. They both were quite envious. Then, they began to think of finding a gift to give the noblemen, so they could be given a sack of coins. The wealthier peasant said, "If one skinny goose could get one bag of rubles, then we should give the nobleman all FIVE of our big fat geese!"
The very next day, the wealthier neighbor took a stick in his hand and opened the pen in which the geese were kept. He waved the stick behind them as if to switch their behinds, and the geese waddled out of the gate of the pen. The peasant walked all five geese to the nobleman's door. Like the first time, the nobleman met the man at the door. "What brings you here," asked the rich nobleman.
"I don't think that you should be giving me gifts since you are poorer than I," said the nobleman.
"You accepted a gift from my neighbor," the wealthier peasant quickly responded. Then he knew what this was about! He knew that this jealous man was envious of the rubles he had given to the poorer man. So he responded, "Well, I will accept your gift and reward you for it if you can divide the geese fairly among the six members of my family."
The peasant said, "Sir, I don't think you can divide five geese evenly by six people."
"Then we shall ask your clever friend." At this, the nobleman sent a servant to the first peasant's cottage. The peasant and the servant came back in a very short time. The wealthier peasant was still embarrassed that he had not been able to divide the geese as the nobleman had asked him to. But, at least he would enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that his neighbor could not divide five geese evenly among six people either.
The nobleman explained, "The last time, you did such a clever job of dividing one goose among six people. I thought perhaps you might be able to show me how to eveny divide five geese."
At this, the first peasant picked up one of the geese and handed it to the nobleman. "You and your wife ade a pair, so I will give you a goose, and that makes three."
Then he gave a goose to the nobleman's sons. "You two brothers make a pair. I give you a goose, and that makes three!"
He handed a goose to the two daughters. "You two lovely daughters make a pair. I give you a goose, and that makes three."
He handed a goose to the nobleman. "You and your fine wife make a pair.. I give you a goose, and that makes three."
He held up the two geese that were left. "These two geese make a pair. I will take them. The two plus me makes... THREE! You see, sir, there are even sets of three for everyone. Your five geese are evenly divided."
Everyone laughed out loud, except for the wealthier peasant, who now had five less geese than he owned a few moments before. The nobleman gave the first peasant another bag of rubles, the same as before. But,then he turned and also paid the wealthier peasant for his geese, just so all three neighbors could remain good friends.

Lefty Pundit Paul Waldman: Stronger Gun Laws, Like Obamacare, Would Make a Bad Situation Only Somewhat Better
October 21st, 2015 9:21 PM
Liberals, hinted Paul Waldman in a Monday American Prospect column, need to remember that the legislative journey of a thousand miles begins with a few steps. Waldman acknowledged that even if "modest gun control" measures such as expanded background checks were to pass, the U.S. would "still have more gun deaths than any other industrialized country," but that'd be better than the status quo.
Waldman likened that prospect to what he said is the important (though hugely insufficient) improvement in our health-care system that's resulted from Obamacare. He called the Affordable Care Act "a reform, not a revolution" (though plenty of conservatives might argue that "revolution" would be more fitting).
"Before [Obamacare], we had what was undoubtedly the worst health care system in the industrialized world," wrote Waldman. "The ACA did tremendous good, eliminating the fear that comes with not being able to get coverage, and bringing insurance to millions who didn't have it before…But guess what: we still have the worst health care system in the industrialized world, albeit one whose extraordinary cruelty has been reduced and whose runaway costs have been slowed."
From Waldman's piece (bolding added):
If we do pass national gun legislation, it will start with those things everyone agrees on, like universal background checks. They're an excellent idea, but they won't change the fundamental reality that there are more than 300 million guns in America. With some well-crafted legislation we might start to bring down the death toll, which now stands at over 30,000 Americans killed by guns every year. But even if we can make some progress, there will still be hundreds of millions of guns in circulation, and tens of thousands of Americans will keep dying.
One way to think about gun legislation is to compare it with the Affordable Care Act. Before the ACA, we had what was undoubtedly the worst health care system in the industrialized world: we spent far more than any of our peer countries, yet we left tens of millions of our citizens with no health coverage at all, and those who had coverage could lose it at any time or find themselves in danger of death or destitution in the case of an injury or accident. The ACA did tremendous good, eliminating the fear that comes with not being able to get coverage, and bringing insurance to millions who didn't have it before.
But guess what: we still have the worst health care system in the industrialized world, albeit one whose extraordinary cruelty has been reduced and whose runaway costs have been slowed (though not reversed). The ACA was a reform, not a revolution, and it left the private, intricate system that produced all those pathologies largely intact.
…Even if we could reduce the carnage, we'd still have more gun deaths than any other industrialized country.
Hillary Clinton deserves credit for taking on this issue, even if the prospects for real change are limited at best. That change, if it comes, will take years or even decades. But you have to start somewhere.
2016 Presidential


The Beauchief Abbey Canons, or white canons, belonged to the Premonstratentian order, which was founded in northern France in 1121. In England and Wales, there were some 35 houses, whose members were ordained clerics; so, locally, they had responsibility for the churches at Alfreton, Norton and Wymeswold[i], and, of course, one of them would have had to make the daily walk to the chapel at Carterknole to say prayers for the departed members of the d'Ecclesall family. These abbeys were only small having only between twelve and fifteen canons, assisted by clerks and lay brothers, whose activities were industrial as well as monastic. At Beauchief, they owned five mills along the Sheaf, were engaged in farming and woodland industries on the estate and wider afield had control over iron, lead and coal extraction in several locations in Derbyshire.
Their abbey had been founded in 1183 by Robert Fitz-Ranulph Lord of the neighbouring Manor of Alfreton, being the daughter institution of the larger Abbey at Welbeck[ii]. Robert[iii] dedicated it to the recently canonized Thomas a Becket; Pegge, writing at the end of the nineteenth century, has proved that, in spite of rumours to the contrary, he was not implicated in Thomas's murder. The original charter covered an area of about 700 acres stretching from Twentywell Lane north-west along the Sheaf on one side and Hemper and Bocking Lanes on the other. Subsequent benefactors donated land over much of Derbyshire, where they had several granges, or farms.
The Abbey contained the full range of monastic buildings:- church, cloisters, chapter house, kitchen, refectory, dormitory, abbot's chamber, guest chamber and infirmary. There was public access to the church, guest-room, abbot's house and kitchens only; to the rear of the abbey, the grounds were walled and would have contained a garden, Where they grew fruit, vegetables and, importantly, herbs, because one of their number would have been an apothecary, acting as a doctor for the Abbey and probably the surrounding population; they also kept bees –honey was important as there was no sugar- note that the hat, face net and garments of the bee keeper below are very similar to what they wear today Streams running into the Sheaf filled ponds which provided water which served for drinking, sanitation and a fishery.

Q: ExtJs: TextArea how to return value as an array instead of as a string? On ExtJs 6.2, I have a form with a TextArea.
When user inputs text on several lines, for example :
line 1
line 2

The binded value is currently a string :
value= "line 1↵line 2"

But I need to send value (to server) as an array, when the store is submitting.
How to tell to the textarea to return input text as an array ?
value : ["line1", "line2"]

without to have to split string as array on the server-side.
Edit: I dont't want just to split value. Because I would to update the default behavior of the textarea to avoid to have to apply the split (in ViewController) each time that I using it.

A: document.getElementById('textarea').value.split('↵')

A: I have created a fiddle with how I would approach it (assuming I have understood your requirements correctly!)
https://fiddle.sencha.com/#view/editor&fiddle/1uq7
This example turns an array into a string when coming into the textarea, and splits it on the way out.

Ext.define('ArrayTextArea', {
    extend: 'Ext.form.field.TextArea',

    alias: 'widget.arraytextarea',

    setValue: function(val){
        // if it's an array then join with a newline
        if(Ext.isArray(val)){
            val = val.join('\n');
        }

        return this.callParent([val]);
    },
    getValue: function(){
        var val = this.callParent(arguments);

        // split the value by newline char
        return val.split('\n');
    }

});

A: You can use standard way provided by sencha http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/5.0.0/api/Ext.form.field.TextArea.html#placeholder-simple-getValue
Check this and reply.

New York Court Grants Tether's Motion to Modify Injunction
New York Court Grants Tether's Motion to Modify Injunction2019-05-162019-05-16https://tether.to/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/TetherLogo_white_diamond.pngTetherhttps://tether.to/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/TetherLogo_white_diamond.png200px200px
Today, the Hon. Joel M. Cohen of the New York Supreme Court (Commercial Division) granted our motion to modify the injunction obtained by the New York Attorney General against our business because the original injunction was vague, overbroad, and not time-limited. The court's order allows Bitfinex and Tether to continue their normal business activities. It also stipulates that the injunction will expire in 90 days and that the burden to seek any renewal from the court rests squarely on the shoulders of the New York Attorney General's office, where it belongs. Judge Cohen held that New York's Martin Act "does not provide a roving mandate to regulate commercial activity."
This order is a victory in the ongoing defence of our business against the New York Attorney General's office.
We are grateful that Judge Cohen recognized, in argument before his court, that the original injunction obtained by the New York Attorney General was "both amorphous and endless," and that It needed to be "as narrow as possible." We believe that the court's decision today leaves no doubt that both Tether and Bitfinex are entitled to run their businesses in the ordinary course, even during the short period when this now narrowed preliminary injunction is in place.
The New York Attorney General's office has sought to proceed ex parte against us and in bad faith, notwithstanding our previous, historical, and voluntary co-operation with them. We will vigorously defend against any action by the New York Attorney General's office, and we remain committed, as ever, to protecting our customers, our business, and our community against their meritless claims.
