Q: additional Total row to output MDX How I can get additional Total row to output from following MDX:
SELECT
  {
    [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
   ,[Measures].[Internet Gross Profit]
   ,[Measures].[Sales Amount]
  } ON COLUMNS
 ,NON EMPTY
    {[Customer].[City].[City] * [Product].[Product].[Product]} ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
WHERE
  (
    [Date].[Fiscal Weeks].[Fiscal Year].&[2007]
   ,[Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee].&[105]
  );

as I can get from pure SQL. Here is SQL aggregation analog
select
    [Customer].[City].[City],[Product].[Product].[Product]
    , sum([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]) as [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
    , sum([Measures].[Internet Gross Profit]) as [Measures].[Internet Gross Profit]
    , sum([Measures].[Sales Amount]) as [Measures].[Sales Amount]
from  [Adventure Works]
where   [Date].[Fiscal Weeks].[Fiscal Year].&[2007] and [Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee].&[105]
group by [Customer].[City].[City],[Product].[Product].[Product]

union

select
    'Total'  ,null
    , sum([Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]) as [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
    , sum([Measures].[Internet Gross Profit]) as [Measures].[Internet Gross Profit]
    , sum([Measures].[Sales Amount]) as [Measures].[Sales Amount]
from  [Adventure Works]
where   [Date].[Fiscal Weeks].[Fiscal Year].&[2007] and [Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee].&[105]

A: Do you need an extra single All members output?
Select
{
    [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount],
    [Measures].[Internet Gross Profit],
    [Measures].[Sales Amount]
} on 0,
{
    [Customer].[City].[All] *
    [Product].[Product].[All]
    +
    NonEmptyCrossJoin(
        [Customer].[City].[City].Members,
        [Product].[Product].[Product].Members,
        2
    )
} on 1
From [Adventure Works]
Where
(
    [Date].[Fiscal Weeks].[Fiscal Year].&[2007],
    [Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee].&[105]
)

By the way, there is advanced grouping within MS SQL server. Also your may find this article useful in order to understand the MDX cross-joining.

A: Danylo's answer may not be the perfect approach:

*

*It errors. He uses the following : [Customer].[City].[All] * [Product].[Product].[All] which is trying to crossjoin members but he needs to explicitly make these single member sets: {[Customer].[City].[All]} * {[Product].[Product].[All]}

*From what I've read NonEmptyCrossJoin is a remnant of the past and best to avoid: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/mosha/archive/2006/10/09/mdx-nonempty-exists-and-evil-nonemptycrossjoin.aspx

*If I make the correction detailed in 1 the script only returns 1 row which I assume is not what is required?

I'd just add a tuple using the All members like this:
SELECT
  {
    [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
   ,[Measures].[Internet Gross Profit]
   ,[Measures].[Sales Amount]
  } ON COLUMNS
 ,NON EMPTY
    {
      (
        [Customer].[City].[All]
       ,[Product].[Product].[All]
      )
     ,{[Customer].[City].[City] * [Product].[Product].[Product]}
    } ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]
WHERE
  (
    [Date].[Fiscal Weeks].[Fiscal Year].&[2007]
   ,[Employee].[Employee Department].[Employee].&[105]
  );

MAHANOY CITY — The planned replacement of the water valves at the main intersection in Mahanoy City was discussed at the January meeting of the Mahanoy Twp. Authority.
The authority, which provides water service to Mahanoy City, Gilberton and parts of Mahanoy Twp., was awarded last September a Commonwealth Finance Authority Small Systems Grant for $151,155 for the project. The total estimated project cost is $216,000, with the remaining amount covered by MTA general funds as required by the grant program.
During the meeting, Alfred Benesch & Co. project manager James J. Rhoades Jr. said in his report that the replacement project at Main and Centre streets will require a study in the area to determine costs more exactly.
At a previous meeting, Rhoades explained the valve replacement will help the authority in its operations when there is a need to turn water service off to certain areas. He explained the proposed project includes the replacement of four large valves and associated piping at the intersection of Main and Centre streets. The valves are the primary control mechanisms for flow of water into the borough. Currently, the deficient valves do not allow for proper isolation of the system and requires shutdowns that cut water from local businesses, as well as residential customers.
The replacing of the old valves will help limit water service interruptions when maintenance work is required, along with improving safety due to better water supply for firefighting. The valves are the main hub of the borough water system.
According to Fegley, two of the four valves at the intersection do not hold and the system cannot be shut down. There was a water system project in the area in 2008 when the valves were to be replaced, but there were not enough funds available.
The malfunctioning valves limit the authority's ability to shut off water service to a specific area when a major break occurs. There are two water mains that come into the borough along Main Street to Centre Street, then branch off in four directions. A major water leak a few years ago led to water service being interrupted to the entire borough due to the malfunctioning valves. If all valves were working, the water service interruptions could have been limited to a few blocks.
In another section of his report, Rhoades said the operation and maintenance permit acknowledgment for the Lofty Dam Rehabilitation Project was forwarded to the state Department of Environmental Protection following the authority's meeting in December. Refilling of the dam began in December and is being monitored in accordance with the approved refilling plan by MTA staff. After a review of the December refilling record keeping, Rhoades said the rate of filling is going according to plan and commended the MTA staff on the diligent oversight maintaining an appropriate filling rate.
"We assume that a retainer task will be set up to continue the assistance with the refilling and for us to complete the monthly embankment inspection as required in the permit conditions which we anticipate to commence in February or March if the refilling continues at its current rate," Rhoades said.

The United Kingdom of Netflix: Here Comes One-Size-Fits-All Media
By The Hook Team13/02/2019 No Comments
Last week, as I was aimlessly scrolling through Netflix, lazily allowing my eyes to pass over Oscar-nominated box office smash here, internationally-acclaimed crime drama there, I came across an original show called Sex Education.
This struck me as a rather odd title to begin with – I wondered whether the show's premise could be some Marie Kondo-esque expert teaching couples how to 'spark joy' in the bedroom. But instead I came across a socially awkward teenage boy who decides to follow in the footsteps of his sex therapist mother to set up an informal 'sex clinic' at his school.
I was instantly hooked.
The show depicts a clever amalgamation of British and American cultural tropes playing out in a UK sixth form as the cast deals with all the trials and tribulations of being a teenager in 2019. This ingenious production technique has been gradually creeping into Netflix's output, with other British-produced shows including Safe and The End of the F***ing World adopting a British-American aesthetic for audiences.
But why is Netflix doing this?
Great British Programming – UK Stars on the World Stage
In the past few years, British TV, film and talent have been making waves across the world. UK actors feature heavily in the 2019 Oscars nominations and some of the biggest shows of this decade are British (What are my personal favourites, I hear you ask? Hands-down: Black Mirror and Killing Eve).
Now we have Sex Education: the latest British show which seems to be generating serious buzz across the globe.
The show was produced in the UK and portrays a British cast including Asa Butterfield as 16-year-old Otis, Ncuti Gatwa as his best friend Eric and Gillian Anderson as his mother. On top of that, the show was filmed in the quintessentially British Wye valley of south Wales.
Sex Education is British… but also Global
With these credentials, you'd be forgiven for assuming that Sex Education is a firmly British TV show. But while the focus is placed on a British sixth form – with an invariably displeased headmaster who resembles a male version of Miss Trunchbull – Moordale Secondary School also has some quite clearly American features.
From the brash school logo and varsity jackets to the Mean Girls-esque popular group nicknamed 'The Untouchables', many features of the show are reminiscent of US teen movies. We don't have to speculate on whether or not these signifiers of American teen life were intentional: Anderson – who plays the protagonist's mother – has confirmed the writers wanted to have "a bit of both worlds" – UK and US – in the series.
By combining an Anglo-American aesthetic with relatable themes of growing up, sex, and relationships, the show aims to transcend cultural boundaries and connect with audiences around the world. And in that it seems to have succeeded. Sex Education has been catapulted to extraordinary heights in a short space of time: Within a month of its release, Netflix reports that an estimated 40 million subscribers tuned in to watch the show.
Should media with global appeal be celebrated or lambasted?
This culture-bridging TV isn't just a British phenomenon: the streaming platform has also employed this cultural-merging technique for some of its shows produced in other countries. The Spanish series 'Elite', for instance, has been dubbed 'Riverdale, Gossip Girl and Big Little Lies rolled up into a murderous teen drama'.
But at what cost does this international mish-mash of content come?
In a lecture last year, the BBC Director of Content Charlotte Moore took aim at Netflix and other streaming services for their US-centric, one-size-fits-all approach to content. Instead of nurturing 'home-grown' talent and empowering British storytellers, she argued that SVoD services employ a top-down approach to TV and film that leaves no room for truly original content that tells country-specific stories.
As SVoD providers sand down their content in pursuit of soft-cornered global mass appeal, do they create great TV that learns lessons from the global marketplace? Or do they just produce media that is enjoyable to watch, but inherently lacking in something vital, individual, and important? I'd love to hear what you think!

Using a sensitive genetic technique that distinguishes one HTLV virus from the other, scientists have found a surprisingly high percentage of a sample of New Orleans intravenous drug abusers infected with a retrovirus known as HTLV-II, or human T-cell leukemia virus type II. By studying the effects of HTLV-II infection on this newly identified group of asumptomatic individuals, scientists should be able to learn for the first time whether this virus is associated with a human disease, says study coauthor Irvin S.Y. Chen, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Medicine.

Following is a comparison of various alternatives to ParentPay for on-line payment and communication (texting and email) systems out there, namely SIMS In Touch and Agora, and SchoolComms. The links below give basic details and costs about these different solutions to on-line payments and texting/emailing for parents which aim to make school life and parental life as straightforward as possible. We have also included the SIMS Dinner Money system for completeness.
The information given is just functionality, costs, support and contact details. It's as accurate as possible but comparisons have been difficult to make as some products charge by numbers of pupils in school and some don't. Confirmation of prices will therefore be needed, plus there are discounts to be had if enough schools sign up. A bit of a minefield I'm sure you'll agree!
If you are interested in going forward with any of these products we would be grateful if you could get back in touch with us in the first instance, so that we can then liaise properly with the product account managers to negotiate any possible discounts. However, you are obviously perfectly free to contact the companies direct to ask any questions, confirm any misunderstandings, etc.
Links relating to different school sizes are available to open at the bottom of this article.
Although ParentPay is the County Council's preferred provider, there are other providers on the market which schools may be interested in using.
Schools that are considering implementing other systems are reminded that any procurement exercise must be carried out in accordance with the LMS Procedure Rules. Paragraph 4.9 of the LMS Financial Procedure Rules states that schools may operate an online income collection system but must only use a supplier whose system has been approved by the CD-SR. Such schools are strongly advised to contact Veritau Ltd for advice regarding their preferred system.
This week has seen another school website "hacked" (taken offline and replaced with religious/ political propaganda) at this moment in time we do not know how this has happened as Schools ICT do not manage this specific web site. Normally this type of attack happens when old versions of software are used, or there is a lack of security and software maintenance, where servers are not kept up to date and web design software is not updated and maintained.
Your School website is your portal to the internet community and it is vital that you or your supplier maintain the software with security and update packages.
NYnet are still experiencing issue's with some of the Bonded aDSL attached sites.
NYnet have stabilised this to some 15 schools and 1 Yorkshire dales park site (out of a total of 54 Bonded aDSL sites on the network).
NYnet are working to bring these sites back online, this is taking longer than expected as they are trying not to affect the current connected and working sites.
We will keep this feed as up to date as possible until resolution.
We are seeing an issue with NYnet Bonded aDSL connected sites.
At the moment we believe that this issue is related to a central server in the data centre at NYnet and we are working on this.
As soon as we have any more information we will update you.
We apologise for the inconvenience that this will cause.

CFP: "Religion and the urban, natural and virtual environments"
Biennial Conference of the ESA RN34- Sociology of Religion
Groningen (Netherlands), 26-28 August 2020
This conference wants to adopt a broad approach to the study of the relation between religion and different "environments": the urban environment, the natural environment and the virtual environment. This threefold approach allows us to capture three areas of religious transformation and innovation, which are of high academic and societal relevance in contemporary European societies and beyond. By approaching these three topics, we aim to contribute both to the academic advancement of the sociology of religion in relation to its conceptual and methodological tools and to a broader societal reflection on the dynamic between religion and the urban, natural and virtual environments. Some of the questions we seek to address are the following:
How do religions and cities interact with one another and transform each other? How does the urban environment affect religious practices and, conversely, how do religious practices and groups transform the urban environment? How are religious and secular meanings negotiated in urban spaces? How do tourism, heritage industries and gentrification processes produce and transform urban religious heritage?
How do religious groups relate to the natural environment? How do religions see and interpret the ecological crisis and which alternatives do they suggest? How do religious groups conceptualise their role in relation to environmental concerns and claims? Which forms does faith-based environmentalism take? How do religions position themselves in relation to other social actors in environmental concerns?
How do the virtual environment and religion interact with and affect one another? How does the virtual environment influence how we understand the idea of "religious community" and community in general? How are religion and the concept of religion affected and challenged by the increasingly digitalized world? What challenges and inspirations for religion can the developments in artificial intelligence and virtual reality bring about? What conceptual, epistemological, methodological and ethical challenges are faced by scholars exploring "virtual religion"?
Papers addressing these and other questions and topics relevant to the sociology of religion are welcome. Besides individual papers, it is possible to propose a panel with a maximum of four papers per panel.
Additionally, MA and PhD students will have the opportunity to combine their participation in the conference with a summer school. See more information here
Confirmed Keynote Speakers
Dr. Giulia Evolvi, Erasmus University Rotterdam
Prof. Dr. Jens Koehrsen, University of Basel
Dr. Pooyan Tamimi Arab, Utrecht University
All interested should submit an abstract of 200 to 250 words, including a reference to the theoretical framework, research question, methodology and main findings. Panel proposals should include the title and a short description of the panel (200 to 250 words), the name and affiliation of the convener(s), and the title, author's name and abstract (200 to 250 words) for each of the proposed papers. Proposals should be submitted to esarn34-groningen2020@rug.nl

Call for Papers: Navigating the non/confessional in university Islamic studies
A three-day international conference funded and organised by the Department of Theology and Religion, University of Birmingham, in partnership with the Muslims in Britain Research Network
Dates: 20-22 April 2020
Across Europe there are numerous examples of recent linkages between universities and Islamic seminaries. In Germany the experiment, now over ten years old, of establishing departments of Islamic theology in five universities has now recruited close on 2000 students, many of whom will end up teaching confessional Islam RE in schools. At Vienna, in VU Amsterdam, and in UC Louvain there are programmes for Islamic leaders, teachers, and imams. In the UK, partnerships have been developed at under- and postgraduate level between e.g. Warwick, Birmingham and Middlesex universities and Islamic seminaries representing a range of Islamic traditions. Movement between confessional and non-confessional Islamic educational contexts by students and staff, both as a result of such formal links or informally, is now common.
The conference will explore the opportunities and challenges created by the emergence of bridges and permeable membranes between confessional and non-confessional Islamic educational contexts. It will bring together scholars from across Europe working in different policy and educational settings to look at how Islamic education operates, and the implications of this for the transmission and representation of the Islamic tradition, as well as the teaching of Islam in universities. The conference's remit will be any arena where Islam is included as a part of higher-level study, from the confessional teaching of Islam, to theology and religious studies, history, politics and the social sciences. We have invited six main speakers to help us move the discussions along:
Prof. Bekim Agai, Dept. of Islamic Studies, University of Frankfurt
Prof. Ednan Aslan, Depts. of Teacher Education and Islamic Theology, University of Vienna
Prof. Sophie Gilliat-Ray, Professor in Religious and Theological Studies, Director for the Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK, Cardiff University
Prof. Birgitte Schepelern Johansen, Dept. of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen

"SocRel at 45" Conference (July 2020) abstract submissions now open
THEME: "Celebrating SocRel at 45: Beyond Binaries in the Sociology of Religion"
The conference will be held at the University of York, 14-16 July 2020.

Sociological writing about religion is replete with binaries: secular/post-secular, sacred/profane, religion/non-religion, western/non-western, spiritual/religious, theistic/non-theistic, cognitive/corporeal and private/public, to name just a few. Theories that consider the relationship between these seemingly opposing concepts have shaped the evolution of the discipline, reflected changing social realities, and supported the production of new knowledge.
Although many of these binaries have become highly fashionable within the contemporary study of religion, does the use of these types of analytical frames limit our capacity for critical sociological engagement? Do our understanding of the lived realities for individuals across different communities support or reject the use of binary concepts? In this conference that celebrates 45 years of SocRel, we invite you to consider the possibilities for the sociology of religion 'beyond binaries'. We encourage you to think about the relationships that you make in your own research with these, and other, binary frames, and the ways in which you find them both useful and limiting to think with.

Religious Organisation(s):Challenges and changes in contemporary society
Posted on October 29, 2019 by SISR/ISSR General Secretary
17th-19th August 2020, Gothenburg, Sweden
The 25th Nordic Conference in the Sociology of Religion
In today's globalised and fast changing society, religious organisation and religious organisations face several challenges. Globalization, migration and different secularisation processes, together with political, technological and environmental changes/issues, influence, not only society in general, but also religious organisations and the ways in which religion is practiced and expressed in contemporary society.
This situation prompts questions such as: How do religious organisations handle an influx of new members from other parts of the world and at the same time, an increased loss of members who have been there for a long time? How do religious organisations react to new technology such as digital communication instead of face-to-face interaction, and web-broadcasted religious meetings?
Other questions of interest are for example: how do religious groups and organisations handle the late modern individual who has little need of belonging to religious groups, and who is sceptical of religious authority? And, on the other hand, how can we explain why late modern individuals choose to belong to conservative and fundamentalist religious groups?
These, and other, questions concerning how religion is organised in contemporary society will be addressed at the 25th NCSR conference held in Gothenburg 17th-19th August 2020, which includes a pre-conference for doctoral students in the morning of the 17th August.
We are happy to announce the following distinguished keynotes for the conference:

CFP: "Mosques, power and politics" Copenhagen, Denmark 22-24 January 2020
Venue: University of Copenhagen, South Campus
Karen Blixens Plads 8, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark
For this workshop we address the changing politics of mosque building, the different kinds of conflict surrounding the building of a mosque and the symbolic appropriation of territory by the mosque.
The building of a mosque can be seen as a social transformative interaction and accounts for the many stakeholders involved in the construction of mosques (e.g., Muslim organizations, international donors, local politicians, anti-Islam groups and other critics). As such, the mosques and the politics of construction can be seen as microcosms of the discourse on Muslims in a country.
Concerns with security, extremism and visibility of Muslim institutions in the Nordic and Western European countries are causing "existential" difficulties for mosques. The state criticizes mosques and change the politics of religion with reference to incidents in mosques as in Denmark in 2016-18.
This seminar will examine the power strategies used by national and local politicians, examining national legislation and municipal planning on mosques, and will investigate a number of concrete cases of contested mosque building. The operable questions are:
What are the political power dynamics at play in mosque building?
Do the mosques challenge the existing models of state-religion-relations?
How may mosques present and organize themselves to defuse these tensions of power?
Paper abstracts of 300 words and a short CV to be submitted to Niels Valdemar Vinding, lbm993@hum.ku.dk, on November 15th 2019 at the latest. Read more on: https://mosques.ku.dk/nordic-mosques/
Job Opening: Social Theory and the Digital Study of Religion
The Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of assistant professor in the area of Social Theory and the Digital Study of Religion, beginning August 2020.
The area of specialization (historic period, region, or group studied) is open; however, the successful candidate must complement and enhance the current specialties of the Department by using social theory to understand religion as an element of culture. The specific research area is thus part of the scholar's attempt to answer broader, cross-cultural questions related to identity, power, and discourse. This position will supplement the Department's B.A. curriculum (which now includes a digital humanities course) and will be of primary importance to the Religion in Culture M.A. program (which requires students to be familiar with a variety of digital skills). While a variety of digital specialties are potentially relevant, the Department is especially looking for a scholar with demonstrated expertise in digital humanities research methods (e.g., computational text analysis, data visualization, network analysis, GIS, etc.) and public humanities (e.g., digital collections, digital curation, podcasting, etc.)
The successful candidate will teach courses ranging from introductory/lower- and upper-level B.A. courses to graduate seminars on a variety of analytic topics related to the successful candidate's historical and/or ethnographic area(s) of specialization. Additionally, the candidate will contribute to the department's establishment of interdisciplinary digital humanities courses. All faculty are also expected to supervise M.A. students in the social theory of religion when student interests intersect with faculty expertise.
At the time of hire, a Ph.D. is required. The committee welcomes applications from candidates with training in the academic study of religion as carried out in a public university, but will also entertain training in related fields (literature, history, anthropology, etc.), as long as expertise in studying and teaching social theory and digital methods in the study of religion are evident. Applicants should demonstrate an active and ongoing research agenda, highlight their teaching experience, and make readily apparent their ability to contribute to the life of an academic department in the areas of service and collaboration.

CFP: "What's God got to do with it? Debating religion and forced migration entanglements"
Call for Contributions to a conference panel at the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) Accra, Ghana July 27-30, 2020
Violent conflicts, social unrest, and other humanitarian crises around the world have led to growing numbers of people seeking refuge both in the North and in the South. Migrating and seeking refuge have always been part and parcel of spiritual development. However, the current 'refugee crisis' in Europe and elsewhere in the world has brought to the fore fervent discussions regarding the role of religion in defining difference, linking the 'refugee crisis' with Islam, and fear of the 'Other.' Many religious institutions, spiritual leaders, and politicians invoke religious values and call for strict border controls to resolve the 'refugee crisis.' However, equally many humanitarian organizations and refugee advocates use religious values to inform their call to action to welcome refugees and migrants, provide them with assistance, and facilitate integration processes.
We are seeking panelists whose work fits a wide range of issues related to religion and forced migration, including, but not limited to, the examination of:
• re-politicization of religion and forced migration;
• religiously motivated violence as a root cause of forced migration;
• debates, policies, and activism based on values rooted in different religions;
• faith and the secular in realizing humanitarian values and principles;
• clashes between different religious values hindering immigrant integration;
• multi-religious responses to the 'migration crisis;'
• engagement of religious institutions in providing assistance to refugees and migrants; • role of religion in populism;
• role of religion in coping with trauma of forced migration;
• methodological challenges involved in empirical studies of religion and forced migration;
• lived experiences of religion/s and forced migration.
The geographic focus of the panel is global. We welcome papers based on rigorous empirical research, policy analyses, and refugee narratives. We welcome submissions exploring issues from historical, philosophical, anthropological, theological, and interdisciplinary perspectives. If you are interested in participating, please send a title and a 250-word abstract to Elzbieta M. Gozdziak at emg27@georgetown.edu by October 25, 2019 at the latest.


A recent crackdown on Baha'i-owned businesses has been reported in the city of Kerman. The actions are part of a policy endorsed by Iran's Supreme Leader that explicitly aims to "block" the "development of the Iranian Baha'i community."
NEW YORK, United States — The Iranian government's systematic strategy to drive Baha'is to economic ruin shows no sign of abating.
According to reports received by the Baha'i International Community, a renewed campaign is under way in Kerman, the major city in south central Iran.
"We have learned that the Public Places Supervision Office is denying the renewal of licenses – and revoking some existing ones – for Baha'i-owned businesses in the city," said Bani Dugal, principal representative of the Baha'i International Community to the United Nations.
"A wide range of professions are being targeted – from computer sales and repair shops to real estate brokers. Baha'is involved in the sale of iron alloys, steel, or gold are losing their licenses, as are Baha'i-owned businesses relating to food products, and health and cosmetic services, such as opticians," she said.
Baha'is in Kerman have also been told that they are not allowed to own a large number of shops on the same street.
"The authorities have even gone so far as to revoke the licenses of business partners of Baha'is, who are not themselves members of the Baha'i Faith," said Ms. Dugal.
Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, many thousands of Baha'is have lost their jobs or sources of livelihood. In 1993, the UN disclosed an Iranian government memorandum – endorsed by the country's Supreme Leader – that explicitly outlines a plan to "block" the "development of the Iranian Baha'i community."
In addition to the barring of young Baha'is from higher education, said Ms. Dugal, it is clear that the authorities are continuing with a range of other actions to carry out this policy.
"We have received accounts of at least 60 incidents in the past five years, designed to curb the economic prospects of Baha'is," she reported.
– In June 2011, an optical shop was sealed on the pretext of transferring the license to a new location. The head of the Public Places Supervision Office indicated that the order to seal the shop was issued by the higher authorities. The shop had been previously closed by the authorities in December 2008, along with four other Baha'i shops in Nazarabad. But after a legal battle, the owner managed to reopen in a new location, only to have it sealed again.
– After a wave of arson attacks on a dozen Baha'i-owned businesses in Rafsanjan, Iran, in late 2010, some 20 homes and businesses were sent a warning letter demanding that Baha'is sign an undertaking to "refrain from forming contacts or friendships with Muslims" and from "using or hiring Muslim trainees."
– In early 2009, in the city of Semnan, the association of Trade Unions passed a by-law stating that no Baha'i should receive a business license. Soon after, a number of Baha'i-owned businesses and shops throughout the city were subsequently sealed or shut down.
– In an example of another kind of economic pressure, a Baha'i in Isfahan – shortly before being fired from his work – requested from the social security agency that he be allocated the amount that had been deducted from his wages for his pension. He received notice that his request was not being pursued as it was a "non-issue," given the fact that the reason for his losing his job was his membership in "the deviant Bahaist sect." The notice specified that he and another 14 individuals were fired based on the legal prohibition on their being hired in the first place, and thus their claims were of no account.
"International law firmly spells out the right of individuals to be free to work and earn a livelihood, without discrimination," said Ms. Dugal.
"Last month, the international community voted overwhelmingly at the UN to condemn Iran for its ongoing and recurring human rights violations. Surely it's time that Iran realizes that it can no longer get away with oppressing its citizens and thinking that no one will notice."
A Special Section includes detailed information about Iran's campaign to deny higher education to Baha'is.
Another Special Report offers articles about the seven Iranian Baha'i leaders – their lives, their imprisonment, trial and sentencing.
The International Reaction page is regularly updated with responses from governments, nongovernmental organizations, and prominent individuals, to actions taken against the Baha'is of Iran.
Sixty-eight prominent Romanians call upon the government of Iran to grant Baha'is their rights.
Proclamation condemns "blatant policy of persecution."

SUPER FAST! System boots in seconds from fully shutdown. Excellent for working with large files, like raw photographs and video.
It's hard to beat a 1TB SSD in terms of the speed and convenience it offers. I see lots of builds using much smaller SSDs in combination with spinning drives, but I wanted plenty of space to have primary games and such right on the SSD. Loading times are just unbelievable.
I do plan on adding a secondary hard drive eventually because at some point I'd like to dual boot Linux.
Using this SSD as my storage drive. Decided to go full SSD on this build and got it for a great price during the holidays.
Fantastic SSD, super fast! My machine cold boots in seconds. For me it was affordable enough that I just used a single 1 TB SSD rather than a smaller SSD combined with a traditional HDD.
I was initially going with the 500 GB EVO but needed the extra space. The price has come down so much that this was really a smart move and did a lot to accelerate the system. Going from a WD Blue 1TB to this 1TB 850 EVO is as night and day difference. After the BIOS POST, Windows loads in a matter of seconds. Plenty of room for Steam and Battle.net as well. The 850 EVO series is touted as one of the most reliable SSDs out there as well, top sellers for a reason. Highly recommended!
I give this three starts only because my first one failed after 6 months of use. Samsung replaced the drive under warranty. Other than that the replacement drive has been running like a champ. Lets hope it stays that way!
I will forever use Samsung SSDs. This is my 3rd one and won't be last.
My computer boots up like a charm now, extremely fast and reliable. It is a bit pricy though and will be better once the costs go down.

About The Matisse Stories
These three stories celebrate the eye even as they reveal its unexpected proximity to the heart. For if each of A.S. Byatt's narratives is in some way inspired by a painting of Henri Matisse, each is also about the intimate connection between seeing and feeling–about the ways in which a glance we meant to be casual may suddenly call forth the deepest reserves of our being. Beautifully written, intensely observed, The Matisse Stories is fiction of spellbinding authority.

House of Reps Tasks NFF on 2022 FIFA World Cup Ticket; Monitors Glass House's Accountability
By Alexander Adejoh
House of Representatives Committee on Sports has charged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to do everything possible to ensure that Nigeria qualify for the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The House Committee chairman Olumide Osoba gave the directive at a meeting with the leadership of the nation's football ruling body at the National Assembly in Abuja last Wednesday
'You must ensure Super Eagles qualify for the World Cup in Qatar 2020 because that is what Nigerians expect from you. Nigerians will not forgive you if we fail to qualify for the World Cup,' Osoba said.
'We shall give you all the necessary support to ensure that our flag is lifted in Qatar as one of the countries that qualified, but you must be transparent and show accountability in all you do so that we have a good functioning relationship.
'To this end, I want you to make available to the committee, your monthly account details for the purpose of transparency and accountability. It became necessary to request the account details in order to enable Nigerians know that the House is committed to ensuring accountability in sports administration in Nigeria.' He added.
Honourable Osoba also said that the meeting was informed by the nation's recent poor performance in major age grade competitions, adding that henceforth, the committee would observe and monitor all elections to be conducted by the Nigeria Football Federation.
In reaction, the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick who was in the company of the federation's secretary, assured the House that the Nigeria's football governing body would make available the necessary bank details requested by the committee, while also assuring that NFF would continue to work closely with the House in order to ensure the success of Nigeria in all future competitions.


We rented a park model for 3 weeks in January. This park is a 55+ park. Not sure about the rules for having kids staying in the park. Rates vary by season and daily rates vary from about $34 to $45 plus tax per day for a parking space. I believe they may run specials at times. Approximately 3/4 of the spaces are permanently setup park models. They have some park models for rent. RV sites are level with few exceptions and can accommodate the largest coaches and 5th wheels. There are 3 laundry buildings, 3 exercise rooms, meeting rooms, park post office, library, etc. etc. Tengointernet Wi-Fi is installed and not very good. Response time goes from bad to worse and reception is very spotty. Rates were $4.00 per day, $15.00 per week, and $30.00 per month. There is free plug-in high speed access at the laundry buildings. They have controlled gate access. When we were here in January the park was just about full of snow birds. Many activities are available, at least in the winter months. If you can't find some activity here that trips your trigger, then you must not be interested in very much. There are 2 hospitals near by and lots of shopping. There is a casino about 15 miles away on I-15 south of Tucson. We will be going back this coming winter. We camped at Rincon Country West RV Resort (55+ park) in a .


The balcony harvest up to now has mostly been a couple goya from the green curtain, and a few sprigs of parsley, basil, and bergamont. The tsuru murasaki is also doing surprisingly well in it's container (thanks to Cafe Hatake!), and we've been enjoying that in salads with the herbs, too.
Adding a bit of color and spice (quite literally) to this bevy of treats are the two togarashi (hot pepper) plants. (You'll remember them as home to a praying mantis that munched on my aphids.) I came home from our trip to Hokkaido to find these lovelies waiting for me, and as we prepare to head out for a biking trip (our first!) a handful of others are ripening nicely.
Those are so nice and yummy looking.
I'm sorry to hear that, Fer! I'll happily share, if I can. What's banana fertilizer?
banana fertilizer is a home made fertilizer that i made with banana peals, some extra soil and water from washing rice. I had made it originally for my roses because they didn't bloom but i had some left over and i used on the peppers.I think it was an overcharge or potash because they started to bloom like crazy, but they where to many flowers and no fruit.
Wow. It almost sounds delicious! Where did you find the recipe or figure it out? You should do a write up on your blog and then offer it up to the folks at TokyoDIYGardening. We eat loads of bananas, so I'd love to know the recipe, too.

Brilliant Lawyer Pushed over the Brink of Sanity by Sensation-Monger Spook
He triumphed over a gaggle of LA's most prominent legal minds, only to be undone by a second rate mentalist with a trumped-up Teutonic alias. Shortly after establishing a law practice in Los Angeles, young George D. Blake, Esq. landed one of the city's most sensational divorce cases, Mayberry v. Mayberry. Mr. Mayberry, an original California pioneer and prominent landowner, possessed an estate valued at more than a million dollars. In 1899 his wife brought suit against him for divorce on grounds of extreme cruelty and adultery. George D. Blake represented Mrs. Mayberry in a bitter trial that lasted several weeks. Despite employing four separate law firms in his defense, amounting to a team of every well-heeled lawyer in town, Mr. Mayberry was found guilty of acts of atrocious cruelty towards his wife, who had become a paraplegic as a result of a beating her husband administered to her during one of his many violent rages.
But George Blake's reign at the top of the LA legal establishment lasted only a few short years. After the tragic death of his wife, Blake sought out spiritualists who promised to put him in contact with his departed spouse.
In 1904 he became especially close with one medium, Maude Von Freitag, a slate-writer who often plied her mind-reading trade at regular séances in Harmonial Hall at 125 West Fifth Street. During one of these events local authorities caught her sneaking peaks at folded slips of paper she alleged she could read without opening.
Attorney Blake, unperturbed by rumors of Von Freitag's fraud, or by ample evidence of her fondness for liquor and morphine, took up with her with a passion, truly a passion, and accompanied her on a series of out of town trips of many days duration. Von Freitag's husband and two children did not accompany them on these spiritual journeys.
In the fall of that year, Blake suffered a mental and physical breakdown, and spent weeks in the care of physicians at California Hospital. From there he went on to recuperate at a sanatorium near his mother's house in Pontiac, Illinois, where he reunited with a childhood love, May Babcock. When he returned to Los Angeles in January of 1905, Miss Babcock accompanied him. But Maude Von Freitag still doted on her fellow spiritual traveler, and when she fell ill in March, she contacted Blake. Within the week the dashing Miss Babcock had packed up and headed back to Pontiac, Illinois.
George Blake took on the cost of Von Freitag's care at a private hospital at no. 513 East Twelfth Street, and at Von Freitag's urging even went so far as to try to obtain a loan for $5,000 dollars, in order to take part in a grand scheme involving millions of dollars, a complicated arrangement meant to insure the lifelong financial support of Von Freitag and her family. But the loan didn't go through. At this point Von Freitag, likely sensing her influence over Blake might soon wane again, pulled out all the stops. In early April, she invited Blake to her sick-room, where she told him she would soon "pass-out" of this life, and asked that he lie down next to her on her bed to have one last talk about her approaching death, the mortgage of certain properties, and the future of her two children. During this conversation, as Blake later described to a friend, Von Freitag spoke to him of "high forces" and "lords of Karma", she called herself Theodora, and explained to Blake that when she succumbed to death her soul would fly out of her body and into his, to be with him always, until he too passed out of the life, whereupon they would both sweep spiritward and dwell together on the astral plane. Von Freitag then fell into a fit of convulsions, and Blake let out a series of blood curdling screams that brought nurses and doctors to the door, only to find Blake in delirium, holding a limp Von Freitag in his arms. In the wake of subsequent events, shocked Angelenos surmised that Von Freitag placed Blake under a hypnotic spell of sorts during this visit, a spell that led directly to his ultimate loss of all hold on reality.
For three weeks after this episode, Blake managed to resume his law practice, but on April 24th, his frayed cord to reason snapped. While attending a performance at a Main Street theater he found himself possessed by a spirit and was compelled to lead the orchestra. The management didn't care for this, and sent for the police. Later in the evening Blake was thrown out of a café for disturbing the peace. It seems the headwaiter was offended by Blake's claim that he had assumed the genius and character of the late Emma Abbot, a famous opera singer of the past century. Blake spoke loudly to anyone who would listen about his plans to sue all parties involved in the fracas for 150 – 500 thousand dollars.
Blake then spent several days calling reporters to tell them of a suit he was pursuing to recover an English estate worth 64 million dollars. (Ah, Nigerian email-type schemes have always been with us!) He raved to the police officer assigned to restrain him of his appointment as "Most High Master", working for the forces of good, in the name of which he and others like him would, tomorrow, at 9 o'clock, erect a bank at Third and Broadway, the most magnificent bank human eyes have ever conjured or human brain ever conceived… capitalized at 2 billion dollars, offering interest at 4%. He, Blake would be president, and would make pawnshops of the other banks, usurers that they are, charging 10 percent! A crowd gathered on South Broadway as Blake was escorted from his offices in the courthouse to an Olive Street Hotel, to await arrest and commitment to Highland Asylum for the Insane. Blake was taken to Highland on May 10th.
As for Maude Von Freitag, her story continued after Blake's sad exit from sanity. Mere weeks after she claimed she lay at death's door, Von Freitag experienced a miraculous recovery at the hands of an occultist colleague (or "sensation-monger spook" as the LA Times' preferred to describe her). Von Freitag even returned to her lecturing career. The medium responsible for Von Freitag's complete restoration to health offered to try her technique on George Blake, but was turned away at the door of the asylum.
George D. Blake, Esquire, never returned from Highland. He refused food and medical attention, and died there in November 1906, at the age of 43.

A Rubbish King's Last Stand
They called Hamayag Saroyan the rubbish king, and like any king, he was jealous of his subjects. When a restaurant canceled his hauling contract, King Hamayag left his Montebello castle and went to Main Street to stake out the place and learn what other potentate dared to pick up his trash.
His majesty, 64, stood watching from a parking lot next to the Jeffries Banknote Co. at 117 Winston Street, just one more set of eyes in the naked city. Then suddenly a man broke away from the crowd, brushed against Saroyan, and left him reeling. The old man cried out, and stumbled across the narrow street, then up the steps of a coffee shop at 128 Winston Street. He looked around at a room full of strangers and croaked, "Help me! I'm hurt. A Negro did it." Then he fell, dead from two knife wounds in the heart, $49 in his pockets.
Witnesses saw a black man running east on Winston, and said he'd first taken off and neatly folded his bloody coat. Someone gave chase, but lost the fleeing man near 5th and Wall. A month later, J. H. Knox, wanted for a New Orleans stabbing, was picked up on suspicion when he left his Wall Street hotel room for a smoke. But witnesses didn't think he was the regicide, so cops shipped him back to Louisiana to face justice there.
Hamyag Saroyan's slaying would go unsolved, and authorities declined to use it as a reason to reopen their year-old grand jury investigation into allegations of a rubbish war between rival contractors.
Those 1955 public hearings, held by Mayor Norris Poulson, had spread some pretty stinky stuff around City Hall, including allegations that large garbage collection agencies were conspiring with dump owners and Teamsters to freeze out independent operators. Trash collectors had to join "the combine" (their local rubbish union plus the Teamsters' union) or be forced out of business.
One such small fry was William C. Crowder, who picked up 1250 San Fernando Valley customers by offering attractive trash bins with a built-in deodorizer—housewives loved them. But dumps began refusing his loads after he objected to the local union demanding half of his customers as a tithe, and Crowder had to drive all over L.A. until he found a cooperative dump. Then there was Sadie Olive Frank, another Valley trash collector, who testified about harassment, vanishing bins, and sugar in her truck's gas tank. But it wasn't just sheeny men who had to toe the line: businesses that hired non-union trash haulers were threatened with picket lines.
Ultimately, Teamsters secretary-treasurer Frank Matula, called the "czar" of west coast trash, was sentenced to prison for his perjured testimony about the rubbish racket he headed. His pal Jimmy Hoffa gave him the going-to-jail present of naming him one of three international trustees of the union, a poke in the eye to the Feds. And Mayor Poulson, stunned by the magnitude of the fraud, ordered his staff to begin work on developing a municipal trash service, which would dump in city-owned ravines.
Muse on all this next time you're about to complain about the size of your L.A. city trash collection bill.

Studies Demonstrate Remsima Efficacy and Safety Following Switch from Infliximab
Pharmaceutical Technology Editors
The studies, conducted across eight countries with nearly 600 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, further support claims by Celltrion that Remsima is highly similar its reference product.
A total of 10 real-world studies of Celltrion's Remsima (infliximab) show comparable efficacy and safety following a switch to the company's biosimilar infliximab from the reference product, it said in a March 18, 2016 press release. The studies, conducted across eight countries with nearly 600 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, further support claims by Celltrion that Remsima is highly similar its reference product, Remicade, marketed by Johnson & Johnson in the United States.
There has been some discussion over the use of biosimilars for the treatment of IBD. Health Canada, who approved the drug for rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and plaque psoriasis, left out Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis based on uncertainty surrounding the small differences in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). By comparison, European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the drug for all of the reference product indications.
The 10 studies, presented at the 11th Congress of the European Crohn's and Colitis Organization (ECCO) and referenced by Celltrion, provide clinical evidence that Remsima is an effective treatment for IBD. According to the company, the results of the biosimilar infliximab switching studies are further supported by two long-term follow up studies presented at Celltrion Healthcare's satellite symposium. The extension studies of PLANETAS and PLANETRA were performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of maintenance treatment with Remsima over two years as well as the efficacy and safety of switching to Remsima from originator infliximab for one year. Clinical efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety were highly comparable between the maintenance and switch groups in both extension studies.
According to Celltrion, as familiarity has grown with the drug, so has confidence in monoclonal antibody biosimilars. A recent survey conducted on ECCO members showed that confidence in biosimilars has been increasing. The survey shows that only 19.5% of respondents feel little or no confidence in the use of biosimilars monoclonal antibodies, compared with 61% of respondents in a 2013 survey.
"Biosimilar infliximab was the first monoclonal antibody to become available so there was some understandable trepidation around the time of launch," said Professor Silvio Danese, head of the IBD Center at the Istituto Clinico Humanitas and lead author of the survey, in a statement. "However, as people have been able to use the treatment, and with the large number of real-world and post-marketing studies now available, increasing numbers of clinicians are confident to use monoclonal antibody biosimilars. It is important that post-marketing and longer term studies with biosimilar infliximab are reported in order to further reassure clinicians and patients about biosimilars."

The complete walk takes about 3½ hours one way, and requires transport arrangements to be made. From the Cable Bay end a shorter return trip is to the top of the first hill (1 hr return) or to the forest edge (2 hr return). From the Glen end, a round trip to the airstrip and back takes about 2 hours.
Cable Bay Walkway offers wonderful coastal views of the Boulder Bank, Nelson City and Kahurangi and Abel Tasman National Parks. The middle section of the track passes through a patch of beautiful and varied native forest. The track is a walking track. It is steep in places and strong footwear is recommended.
Buses and other forms of public transport are common in the area but there are no scheduled services to Cable Bay Walkway. The walkway starts at either Cable Bay, 21 km north of Nelson, or the Glen, 12 km out of the city.
Evidence of M?ori occupation in the Cable Bay area (Rotokura) dates back to about 1150 AD; the area was a fishing ground and a campsite was maintained there. Delaware Bay, across the estuary, was the site of the main pa. In 1863, the pa occupants heroically rescued the crew of the Delaware during a terrible storm.
Cable Bay was once known as Schroders Mistake, after a Nelson skipper mistook the bay for another and put his boat on the rocks there. The laying of New Zealand's first international telegraph cable gave the bay its modern name. The operation, from Sydney to Cable Bay, took 11 days and transmission began on 21 February 1876. A fire razed the station in 1914 and in 1917 the cable was moved to Titahi Bay, near Wellington.

Home Business WorldFish Sets Aquatic Foods Research Agenda
WorldFish Sets Aquatic Foods Research Agenda
WorldFish has launched a new strategy charting a decade-long aquatic foods research and innovation agenda toward sustainable and equitable global food systems.
The WorldFish 2030 Research and Innovation Strategy: 'Aquatic Foods for Healthy People and Planet,' sets a pathway to end hunger and advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 through science and innovation to transform food, land and water systems with aquatic foods.
According to a report, currently, over 2 billion people around the world lack access to diverse, nutritious, and safe diets that can sustain healthy, active lives.
It noted that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and growing climate crisis underscored the call to transform the global food system.
"In response, WorldFish is broadening its mandate to include larger aspects of aquatic food systems and their essential role in sustaining human well-being and the health of our planet," it added.
Fish and other aquatic foods provide around 3.3 billion people with 20 percent of their animal protein intake. The human appetite for aquatic foods shows no signs of slowing with global fish consumption rising at a yearly growth rate faster than beef.
"This agenda must link to the blue economy and ocean space, whose assets such as fisheries, shipping lanes and tourism are worth $24 trillion.
"This task is critical to ensure a full representation of the food system, address the complex links among food, land and water systems, and unlock an ocean of opportunities in an emerging blue economy that must prioritise social inclusion and equity.
"The WorldFish strategy lays the ground for aquatic food systems focused on achieving SDG 2: Zero Hunger while paying special attention to SDG 14: Life Below Water, leveraging both of these goals to score progress on other multiple SDGs," it stated further.
It pointed out that the strategy provides a guiding framework for innovation at the intersection of research, technology, markets, policies, and social mobilisation across disciplines and sectors.
WorldFish Director General, Dr. Gareth Johnstone, was quoted to have said: "This aquatic foods research and innovation agenda is grounded in transformational COVID-19 recovery that builds long-term food systems solutions for healthy people and planet."
"Fish and other aquatic foods are nutrient-rich, affordable, highly traded, and produced with a relatively low carbon footprint. They must occupy a central place in the global agricultural research agenda, which has traditionally focused on land-based crops and livestock."
"For a resilient and inclusive food system, it's time to look at land and sea through the same lens. We cannot thrive without all the food land and water can produce, in a sustainable way that takes into human health and the health of the planet."
On his part, WorldFish Board Chair, Dr. Yusuf Abubakar, said: "Transforming global food systems toward healthy and sustainable diets is simply not possible without the opportunity to examine, quantify and include the contributions of aquatic food systems.
"Our priority is to better integrate fish and aquatic foods into the global agricultural research agenda and link the latter to the blue economy and ocean space, whose assets such as fisheries, shipping lanes and tourism are worth $24 trillion."

The case for the plug-in hybrid
Electric vehicles are frequently framed as an all-or-nothing replacement of combustion — you're either with us or against us. But does it really have to be like that? Hybrids have been on the roads for decades now, and plug-in variants are a happy middle ground for many electric converts that aren't quite ready to choose between the pump and the plug.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have been on the scene for a while now. As their name suggests, PHEVs are set apart from standard hybrids and EVs by offering both plug and fuel options. Owners can drive to work and back on an all-electric motor, and rely on combustion fuels when chargers are scarce or extra range is needed.
Out on the range
Modern PHEVs generally include somewhere between 50 & 100 km of pure-electric range, which is more than enough to accommodate the 35 km/day Australian passenger cars averaged in 2018. Their combustion engines provide power exclusively to the electric motor rather than the wheels, much like most plugless hybrids.
With everyday commutes covered by the batteries, PHEV drivers can say goodbye to range anxiety thanks to the combustion fuel option for longer trips. This capacity gives them a distinct advantage while charging infrastructure spreads nationwide. While the Chargefox ultra-rapid network will soon cover most inter-city routes, inland trips will likely require fuel access for at least the next few years.
Not only do PHEVs rely far less on fossil fuels than full-combustion vehicles, but their lower battery count significantly reduces the amount of lithium required to build them. This might not seem like a major factor, but let's not forget that global lithium supply is struggling to keep up with growing demand led by the immense demands of EV battery production. This reduced reliance means that more PHEVs can be built, which is a sizeable advantage over the many full-electric models struggling to keep up with order numbers.
Not only are orders more likely to be fulfilled on-time but the range of PHEVs available in Australia is set to skyrocket in the near future. A number of manufacturers are promising less full-EV variants than PHEVs for many models, so expect a lot more choice in the coming years.
Heavy loads
But as with all things, there are some drawbacks to the plug-in hybrid design. Getting the best of both worlds often means taking some of the worst of both, too, and that becomes painfully obvious when PHEVs are put on the scales.
Since they require both combustion and EV components to function, they often end up being heavier than either combustion or all-electric options. And since they need batteries to secure those crucial kilometres of all-EV range, they tend to pack on a few more kilos than standard hybrids. The Hyundai Ioniq, which is offered in hybrid, PHEV, and EV variants, highlights the difference nicely:
While 80 kg is hardly an enormous difference, it is representative of the more general problem with PHEVs: performance.
Plug-in hybrids are designed to be versatile, and that versatility comes at the cost of specialisation in any one discipline of driving. They'll deliver the zippy off-the-mark response of an EV for a while, but don't expect to get far on their significantly reduced battery capacity. Eventually you'll be forced to turn to the engine where output will struggle to keep up with dedicated EV or combustion alternatives.
Similarly, while PHEVs generally have superior range to EVs they still can't match combustion over long distances. They do, however, tend to have considerably better fuel efficiency than their engine-driven counterparts. This may become a major selling point if Labor's proposed 105g CO2/km emissions standard is implemented in the coming years.
Overall, PHEVs are an excellent solution for Australians who enjoy the cost efficiency and environmental benefits of electricity, but also require the range and versatility of combustion. Their positive attributes already significantly outweigh any negatives for most uses and are expected to grow significantly as the industry matures. Are you tempted by a plug-in hybrid?

Police plan to ramp up enforcement
MARLA K. KUHLMAN, ThisWeek Community News
Oct 19, 2016 at 12:01 AM Oct 19, 2016 at 3:41 PM
Motorists traveling along Gahanna's roughly four-mile stretch of Interstate 270 will see a greater police presence in the next few weeks.
Gahanna police Lt. Ethan Moffitt said as of Oct. 13, 159 crashes had occurred within Gahanna's portion of the interstate this year.
Police Lt. Jeff Spence said it's the police department's intent to reduce the number of crashes with increased visibility.
"Ultimately, it is our responsibility for motorist safety," he said.
Moffitt said many residents have a misconception that the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Franklin County Sheriff's Office or some other agency handles the freeway, but the Gahanna Division of Police has the primary responsibility for the response to crashes and other incidents.
"Many times, multiple officers must respond (to freeway accidents) due to the severity of crashes and the number of vehicles involved," he added.
Gahanna covers the roadway from just north of Broad Street to around Interstate 670, and north of there between I-670 and the McCutcheon Road overpass.
The police department also covers a portion of the McCutcheon overpass to about the Easton Way exit, Moffitt said.
Last year through September, he said, Gahanna had 140 crashes along the interstate.
"We're slightly up," he said regarding 2016.
Moffitt said the freeway crashes in 2015 accounted for slightly more than 26 percent of all the crashes that Gahanna officers handled.
"It's our responsibility to handle freeway accidents out there," he said. "Generally, distracted driving, excessive speed and reckless operation are common factors relating to crashes on our freeways."
Fortunately, Moffitt said, no fatalities have occurred along Gahanna's stretch of the interstate this year or in 2015.
He said the top complaint among residents is speeding through residential neighborhoods.
When accidents occur on the freeway, though, officers who normally would patrol neighborhoods and other parts of Gahanna are needed to assist in the crash response, often for an extended period of time, he said.
"We have to use our officers prudently," Moffitt said.
He said he hopes the effort to reduce freeway crashes will allow the division to keep more officers in neighborhoods.
Moffitt said the increased police presence would occur during the work week at periodic times around morning and evening rush hours.

Q: Fetching errors on a page with multiple forms in Laravel I am using Laravel 5.2 (although solutions for later versions are also okay).
I have a page, which contains BOTH the login page and registration page.
These forms use the AuthController as usual.
I display the errors like so:
@if (count($errors) > 0)

        Whoops! Something went wrong!

            @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)

{{ $error }}

            @endforeach

@endif

The issue is, the $errors variable does not make it clear which form the errors come from (i.e. Is it errors in the registration form or login form?).
How can I do this?

A: A way to handle this is to return flash messages. In your controller you can use something like:
For the login form
public function postLogin() {
    // your code here
    return redirect('/login')->with('login', 'Enter valid details');
}

For the sign up form
public function signUp() {
    // your code here
    return redirect('/login')->with('signup', 'SignUp has been successful');
}

And in order to display them in the view:

    @if(Session::has('login'))

            {{ Session::get('login') }}

    @endif

    @if(Session::has('signup'))

            {{ Session::get('signup') }}

    @endif


Set limits on all the activities you will take part in. Remember it's ok to say no to some things! Reducing stress means spending more quality time at home, enjoying a peaceful quiet surrounding. Communicate well with friends and family so they will understand ahead of time that you can't say yes to everything.
Remember not to compare yourself to others! If you are on social media a lot, keep in mind that people usually only put their best foot forward on Facebook. People seem to only post pictures of perfectly behaved children making beautiful cookies with grandma or a beautiful home with the fireplace crackling in the background. Please be kind to yourself and realize that we all want the world to see us as normal, jolly, and perfect on social media! It's ok to find the humor in the imperfection of it all and just embrace life as it is—real, raw and sometimes funny!
