The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Al-Manama as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Al-Manama defeated 5th ranked Al-Najma at home 101-85. Al-Manama dominated down low during the game scoring 62 of its points in the paint compared to Al-Najma's 32 and made 21-of-27 free shots (77.8 percent) during the game. They outrebounded Al-Najma 49-37 including a 39-27 advantage in defensive rebounds. Al-Manama looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. The best player for the winners was international Wayne Chism (206-87, college: Tennessee) who had a double-double by scoring 22 points, 21 rebounds and 4 assists. The former international forward Ahmed Ismaeel (203-90) chipped in 17 points and 9 assists. Al-Manama's coach used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Fadhelallah Abbas produced 28 points for the guests. Al-Manama have a solid series of three victories in a row. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with Al-Ahli. Al-Najma lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the fifth place with four games lost. They share the position with Al-Ittihad.
Another exciting game was between third ranked Al-Muharraq and 4th placed Al-Riffa where Al-Muharraq (3-2) beat Al-Riffa (2-3) on the road 74-70. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Al-Riffa. The former international center Chester Giles (211-85, college: Oregon St.) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 26 points and 17 rebounds. Ahmed Aldurazi contributed with 15 points (was perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line !!!) for the winners. American forward Shawne Williams (206-86, college: Memphis) answered with 24 points and 8 rebounds for Al-Riffa. Al-Muharraq maintains third place with 3-2 record behind leader Samaheej. Al-Riffa at the other side keeps the fourth position with three games lost.
The game in Manama was also quite interesting. Second ranked Al-Ahli (4-1) played at the court of 6th ranked Al-Ittihad (1-4). Al-Ahli managed to secure a 5-point victory 77-72 on Sunday. Marcel Jones stepped up with a double-double by scoring 27 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. Mile Ilic responded with a double-double by scoring 22 points and 18 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Al-Ahli keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Al-Manama. Al-Ittihad lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the fifth place with four games lost. They share the position with Al-Najma.

Al-Riffa was plagued by 27 personal fouls down the stretch. The former international center Chester Giles (211-85, college: Oregon St.) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 26 points and 17 rebounds.

American forward Shawne Williams (206-86, college: Memphis) answered with 24 points and 8 rebounds and the former international guard Mohamed Kawaid (-89) added 14 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in the effort for Al-Riffa.

Following its strategic partnership with Travelsavers last January, Worldchoice Ireland chose 'Stronger Together' as the theme for a well-organised, fun-packed annual conference at the Lyrath Estate resort hotel in Kilkenny on Saturday 3rd November, reports Neil Steedman.
While some delegates arrived on Friday evening to avail of drinks, tapas and entertainment with the Spanish Tourist Board, others arrived early on Saturday morning to enjoy a Grab & Go breakfast of egg&bacon or vegetarian rolls with ATTS Travel Representation Solutions.
Welcoming the delegates, Carol Anne O'Neill, Commercial Manager, Worldchoice Ireland, revealed that membership had grown from 37 last year to 68 locations, employing more than 550 people, and with turnover exceeding €300 million.
Brief video interviews with members in their offices and as they arrived at the conference provided an informative introduction to many of the Worldchoice 'family' around the country.
Declan Power, Head of Aviation Development, Shannon Airport, the main conference sponsor, highlighted that more than €40 million had been spent on developing the airport's facilities, including the introduction of facial recognition at US Immigration.
Michael English, Head of Sales, Celebrity Cruises, emphasised the personal service provided by and the knowledge of Celebrity people and highlighted the forthcoming debut of Celebrity Edge, which sailed from the Saint-Nazaire shipyard on Sunday 4th November to reach Port Everglades on Friday 16th November and begin its maiden seven-night voyages to the Western Caribbean and Eastern Caribbean on 9th December and 16th December 2018, respectively. Then in spring 2019 Edge will cross the Atlantic again to embark on a series of seven to 11-night trips to iconic cities including Barcelona and Rome.
"New features include the Magic Carpet, which provides an over-sea restaurant on deck 16 in the evening and an extension to the pool deck in the daytime, as well as the Rooftop Garden and Oculus Theatre, which is the first without a curtain, so performers are delivered to the stage from below or from above," he said.
"Four more Edge-class ships are on order – Celebrity Apex will sail from Southampton in April 2020 (and will be available to book from 29th November 2018), while three more are scheduled for delivery in 2021, 2022, and 2024.
Headline speaker David Meade provided entertaining and funny 'motivational' presentations, including how best to present options to clients, while Jennifer Callister of Royal Caribbean International highlighted Perfect Day at CocoCay (see separate story), and Josephine O'Reilly and Gavin Lyons of the Commission for Aviation Regulation provided an informative update on the new EU Package Travel Directive (see separate story).
A wide variety of suppliers took part in networking sessions, with a highlight being the Hertz 'Karaoke Car', with Keller Travel, led by the irrepressible Pearse Keller, eventually winning the prize of bottles of champagne.
An entertaining Gala Dinner, sponsored by Air Canada and United Airlines and professionally MC'd by Brian Ormond, saw 15 prizes awarded and 16 awards presented (see below), followed by dancing to the Pop Gods, sponsored by BookaBed, and an MSC Rocks after party.
"This is the moment I fear, because I have no idea what is going to happen over the next five minutes." – Carol Anne O'Neill, Worldchoice Ireland, when introducing Declan Power of main conference sponsor Shannon Airport.


Resume Writing for the Real World — Get Help with Bios and CVs too!
Resume writing – I can help!
Do you need help writing or refreshing your resume? How about your author bio or company bio? There's more than resume writing and bios than meets the eye. Here's why.
Resume writing should be nuanced. After all, your resume is not a blanket statement. It can and should be targeted to each employer. Yes, that's a lot of work, but those employers likely use algorithms and software to search for keywords in your resume that align with each job posting.
If you send in a one-size-fits-all resume, it may end up in the HR trash bin because your "experience" was not worded to match the requirements…even if you could do the job with your eyes shut and your hands tied behind your back! If your resume is too long, that might also be an issue. Ideal resumes are one pagers, or perhaps two pages long. Yes, you CAN fit a life's worth of employment on one or two pages if the writing is concise and laser focused. Each word should be maximized. After all, you want to intrigue your potential employer and compel them to schedule an interview to learn more about you.
In other words, your resume should be customized according to each and every job you seek. Certainly your basic skill sets remain the same, but your wording should reflect and compliment the wording posted in the job description. You can do this in the Introduction or Employment Objectives section, as well as under each job responsibility you've had.
I hear time and again, "I'm not getting interviews, even though I'm qualified," and "I'm not getting job offers, even though I have the education and experience employers want." Well, does your resume "match" the keywords in the job posting? Have you bothered to tweak your resume each and every time your inquire about a job? If this seems overwhelming or confusing, I can help.
You may want a short and sweet description of your work as an author, or you may want an overview of all your talents and achievements. Your biography can be conversational or formal. It can include personal details such as family life and hobbies, or simply focus on your enterprises, education and accomplishments. I've tailored many biographies to fit each situation, and that's the key — writing an appropriate biography that achieves the goals you have in publishing it.
Like a resume, CVs provide a summary of your skills and experience, but are generally longer than resumes – at least two or three pages, or even more expansive. CVs are useful when detailing your academic accomplishments, teaching background, published articles, presentations, etc. They are also useful when compiling your specialized technical experience.
CVs are typically sent in when you respond to technical and academic job postings, so once again, attend to the keywords on the job posting. This will help you survive the HR filter and (hopefully) get a bite!
Please contact me for help with your resume writing project, biography, or curriculum vitae. And while you're at it, check out all my services. I'm happy to help!
Email Melanie@MelanieSaxtonMedia.com and I'll respond right away.

L'Accademia statale di coreografia di Mosca (), comunemente nota come Accademia di balletto del Bol'šoj, è una delle scuole di balletto più antiche e prestigiose del mondo, con sede a Mosca, Russia. È la scuola affiliata del Balletto Bol'šoj.

Il Balletto Bol'šoj riceve la maggior parte dei suoi ballerini dall'Accademia, così come la maggior parte delle altre compagnie di danza di Mosca.

Storia
Il Bol'šoj è la più antica scuola teatrale di Mosca, fondata come orfanotrofio per ordine di Caterina II nel 1763. Fu solo nel 1773 che le prime lezioni di danza venivano insegnate a casa. Altri nomi conosciuti dalla scuola sono: l'Accademia Bol'šoj, la Scuola di balletto del Bol'šoj, l'Istituto coreografico di Mosca, la Scuola di ballo di Mosca, la Scuola di ballo di Mosca del Bol'šoj e la Scuola di ballo del teatro del Bol'šoj.

Metodo ed educazione
Il metodo di insegnamento del Bol'šoj è basato su un esaustivo curriculum di formazione classico completo che è attentamente coordinato con le abilità degli studenti. Il curriculum comprende la tecnica del balletto, il lavoro sulle punte, il lavoro al centro, il repertorio, il pas de deux, il jazz, la danza di carattere e la danza storica. L'Accademia offre un corpo insegnante professionale con insegnamento internazionale ed esperienza nello spettacolo. Tutte le classi sono valutate attentamente sia per età che per livello tecnico e ogni studente riceve l'attenzione individuale necessaria per i suoi progressi. A scuola i bambini dai nove ai diciotto anni frequentano corsi accademici oltre al loro rigoroso allenamento di danza, utilizzando il metodo Vaganova. Molti di loro vivono nei dormitori interni della scuola.

La Accademia di Balletto del Bol'šoj tiene audizioni annuali per gli studenti che cercano di essere ammessi nei programmi a tempo pieno di tirocinio e formazione professionale. Il direttore dell'accademia è attualmente Marina Leonova.

Servizi
L'Accademia di Balletto del Bol'šoj offre uno dei migliori impianti di allenamento per la danza al mondo. Servizi tra cui venti grandi monolocali con pista da ballo professionale antiscivolo, spogliatoi con docce e armadietti, zona studio e sala per fisioterapia. Gli alti soffitti consentono di offrire lezioni di Pas de Deux e sono previsti due livelli di balletto per bambini e adulti.

Estate ad alta intensità
L'Accademia di Balletto collabora con la Russian American Foundation per organizzare intensivi estivi annuali a New York, negli Stati Uniti e a Middlebury (Connecticut). Si svolge in strutture del Lincoln Center.

Welcome to Slack's new home in Japan
Our new Tokyo office is inspired by collaboration, connection, and co-working with customers
El equipo de Slack8 de septiembre de 2021
Slack has had a special relationship with Japan and its business community since long before we made our product available in Japanese two years ago. Work-style reform throughout the Japanese workforce is improving companies' work-life balance, efficiency and collaboration, and organizations from large, established businesses to start-ups to educational organizations are using Slack to help advance this transformation.
This month we reached a big milestone in our relationship with Japan by opening a new office in Otemachi, Tokyo, designed by Suppose Design Office to embody Slack's role as an efficient, transparent communication space. As Slack is a digital hub for collaboration, the office is a physical one, with spaces that not only connect to increase visibility and productivity among functions but that allow Slack's employees, our customers and partners to work together.
The central axis of the office space is the Engawa, a zone used in traditional Japanese architecture to connect building interiors with the natural landscape. The Engawa spans the area along the office's west-facing windows, and the different functional spaces—cafeteria, meeting rooms and so on—are situated along the Engawa.
The Engawa that connects diverse workspaces in Slack's new Tokyo office.
In addition to the in-house workspaces, the new office features a Guest Area: a coworking space for customers and partners to work with Slack employees. The Engawa connects these two zones, both symbolizing our deepening relationship with Japanese businesses and facilitating our real-world collaboration with them.
The Guest Area, a coworking space for Slack employees, customers and partners.
The new office space was inspired by Slack's Japanese customers, which include Bandai Namco Studios, Mercari, Musashi, Nikkei, SoftBank and Yahoo! Japan, and their commitment to improving communication, efficiency and culture in their organizations and the nation's workplaces as a whole.
At the office opening on April 9, Slack announced and celebrated two new customers in the field of education, Kindai University and N High School. One of Japan's largest universities and guided by a principle of practical education, Kindai University is home to world-class institutes like the Aquaculture Research Institute and the Research Institute of Bio-Coke, which is developing a next-generation bio-renewable fuel. The university has expanded its use of Slack to staff at all of its campuses and locations in order to increase visibility across functions and manage large-scale, cross-departmental projects.
N High School offers students a flexible online learning environment that minimizes the time and location constraints of a physical classroom. Since the school was founded in 2016, teachers, students and staff have been using Slack to connect students around activities and study groups; improve anytime, anywhere communication between students and educators; and streamline work among staff.
We're grateful to work with these institutions and others across Japan to help develop new approaches to education and collaboration. So thank you, Tokyo, and all of Japan, for welcoming Slack and partnering with us to help transform your organizations. We're honored to work together in our new home.

"I saw this red mist in him": Prince Harry Was Left Traumatized By Prince William, Provoked Him to Hit Back After Humiliating Meghan Markle
The world knows that all is not right between Prince Harry and the royal family but the Duke of Sussex recently revealed how bad it has gotten. Apparently, the matter had escalated to blows and the estranged prince alleged that Prince Williams even hit him. The reason behind this fight? Who other than Meghan Markle…
Prince Harry made the scandalous revelation in a glimpse from his upcoming ITV interview with Tom Bradby. He has even detailed the 2019 incident in his upcoming memoir Spare, and since that part got leaked, it has been a real newsflash.
Prince Harry's shocking revelations of Prince William's physical assault
Brothers against one another
The ITV interview is set to air on Sunday and a preview was released this Friday which saw Prince Harry recall the alleged incident. He shared that Prince William physically assaulted him and even "wanted [Harry] to hit … back". He went on,
"I chose not to. What was different here was the level of frustration. I talk about the red mist that I had for so many years, and I saw this red mist in him."
The Duke of Sussex had to address the incident since this particular part of his memoir was leaked.

Can Prince Harry and the royals still reconcile?
Hurt by his own?
The former British military officer went on to describe the altercation that went down in Nottingham Cottage and how the Prince of Wales called Meghan Markle "difficult… rude… abrasive". The 40-year-old then went on to hit his younger brother.
The 38-year-old went into further details and shared that he fell on a dog bowl and subsequently cracked it, which left him injured as well.
Whereas Prince Harry's upcoming memoir has been dubbed as a nightmare for the royal family, the writer himself claims that he wants to reconcile with his folks.
Is there still a point of return?

He claimed,
"First, there needs to be some accountability. The truth, supposedly, at the moment, has been there's only one side of the story, right? But, there [are] two sides to every story."
In another preview released Thursday, he was asked if he would attend King Charles's coronation in May, which clashes with his son, Archie's 4th birthday. To this, he answered,
"The ball is in their court. There's a lot to be discussed and I really hope that they're willing to sit down and talk about it."
Spare is set to release on January 10.

How do you tell the difference between male and female Shark Stanley characters?
Why doesn't Shark Stanley wear pants?
Several characters look like they just told a joke. What's so funny?
Can you mail me a laminated cutout?
No. You can download the characters here, print them, cut them out, and take them to your local print shop to have them laminated.
Will the book be available in Klingon?
Probably not, but we have English, Mandarin, Cantonese, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Papiamento.
Why do some of the Shark Stanley characters only have four gills?
Because our artist is an artist and not a shark biologist. Sorry, we missed it before the book went to print.
How do I get a copy of the book?
Digital copies will be available for free starting in April. We are still working out hard copy distribution.
Bwanaan te Beeba: Protect Our Sharks!
Introducing all 18 Shark Stanley characters!

Lecture: Mondays & Wednesdays, 2:45pm – 4:30pm, room 825.
Office Hours: Wednesdays, 10am – 2pm. Sign up here. If none of those times work, please email for an appointment.
Now, more than ever, technology allows us to reshape existing content in order to create new messages and expressions. What does it mean to utilize "found media" in order to create new work — and how can we use the process to comment on the status quo of our current cultural and social landscapes?
This class explores remix, recontextualization, and reappropriation as artistic tools. We will examine current and past usage of the remix, from its well-known place in popular music to broader forms like YouTube mashups, cut-ups and text generators, Internet memes, culture jamming, and parody. The class will also cover common legal issues surrounding remix culture, such as fair use, copyright and copyleft, and the Creative Commons community and licensing system. These ideas will be further investigated through weekly reading and discussion, student presentations, and critical writing exercises. Students will have the opportunity to utilize their research to create two original remix projects over the course of the semester, utilizing traditional (audio and video editing) and/or generative (web scraping and APIs, glitch and datamoshing) methods.
Gain familiarity with the idea of "remix" as it applies to a variety of artistic media.
Explore historical and social contexts for these remixes, and the ideas or events that the work may have been inspired by or is commenting on.
Think and write clearly and critically about remix, and conduct original research into two or more remix works concerning their history, contexts, source material, and impact.
Create two original remix artworks solely from found material, utilizing both programmatic and traditional methods.
Attendance: You are expected to attend every class session, and to arrive on time. If you are going to be late or absent, for any reason, please let your instructor know ahead of time. Unexcused absences will affect your grade; two (2) or more will result in failing the course. Unexcused lateness of more than 15 minutes will result in an absence for that day.
NYU policy permits members of any religious group to absent themselves from classes without penalty when required for compliance with their religious obligations.
Participation: Participation is very important and will impact grading. All students are expected to pay attention and actively contribute during class discussions. Please pay attention when fellow students are presenting their work and be prepared to give thoughtful, considerate feedback. Keep all feedback related to the work only; personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Equipment: Your project may necessitate the use of equipment from the IMA Equipment Room, depending on your individual needs. Up-to-date policies and procedures for checking out, caring for, and returning equipment will be discussed during IMA Orientation. Be aware that keeping IMA equipment past return dates or failing to adhere to the policies of the IMA Studio WILL affect your grade for this course.
Laptops & Mobile Devices: Laptops are a wonderful tool and strongly encouraged during lectures, as I will be showing a lot of links and demos online with which you might want to follow along. As a general rule, I don't care if you're on your laptop when I'm speaking, but there will be a strict lids-down policy enforced during class discussion, or when your fellow students are presenting work.
The use of mobile devices or other personal electronic equipment is not permitted. Mobile devices must be turned off or silenced and put away during class. Doing activities not related to the class, such as recreational browsing of the internet, including all social media websites, email and instant messaging, game playing, and work for other classes, will result in a reduction of your participation grade.
No student may record any classroom activity for a personal use without express written consent from the instructor. If you have a disability such that you need to record or tape classroom activities, you should contact the instructor to request an appropriate accommodation.
Credit where credit is due: This is a class explicitly about re-using content to create new work, which means we are naturally going to be relying on other people's creative efforts as the basis for our own. However, that doesn't mean that plagiarism is condoned. Please cite and credit sources, inspiration, and code where necessary. Failing to do so will negatively impact your grade.
Students are expected to read and understand the university's policy on academic integrity as laid out in the Undergraduate Bulletin. If you have any questions or doubts about plagiarism, please do not hesitate to come to my office hours.
This syllabus is a living document and will evolve every week with links to readings and resources. If you come across anything interesting in your work or research, send it to me and I'll post it here for the class.
Assignments are due by the *START* of class on the assigned date. This means if the assignment is not submitted by 2:45PM, you are late.
For the papers and projects, the late penalty is 5% deducted for being late the first day, and 10% for every day after.

Presentation: This course is organized into several multi-week units. During each unit, I will assign a select number of students to individually create a 5-7 minute presentation on the current topic. Each student will pick one example of the themes and media discussed in class and will present an in-depth look at the chosen work, how it is an example of remix, the elements being recontextualized, and how the work uses those elements in a new and/or improved context.
Think Pieces: During each unit, you will be required to write a short "think piece" responding to a given prompt. These will take the form of 3-5 paragraph blog posts, which should be submitted via the IMA Documentation blog. While they are by no means meant to be formal academic works, the think pieces will be graded on clarity of argument as well as writing style and quality.
Papers: There will be 2 short research papers assigned as part of this class. The first will concern the audio and video/Internet units, and the second will concern the text and contemporary art units. Students will be expected to research and write a 7-10 page paper about either a specific work pertaining to the material discussed in class, or a theme they wish to explore related to the topic at hand. There must be at least 3 sources used in the paper that do NOT come from the assigned reading.
Projects: There will be two projects due during the semester: a midterm and a final. Both of these projects are to be informed by the research conducted for the associated paper. The projects should be composed entirely of material that exists as part of another work. Along with the projects, students will be expected to post comprehensive documentation of the work to the IMA blog, including a description of the project; an argument for how it is informed by the research; details of the process and source material used to make the work; and an evaluation of whether or not the project meets the initial stated goals.

HomePoliticsOpposition APC wins Freetown Constituency 110 – says NEC
Opposition APC wins Freetown Constituency 110 – says NEC
December 14, 2020 Abdul Rashid Thomas Politics 7
Sierra Leone Telegraph: 14 December 2020:
The chief electoral commissioner of Sierra Leone – Mr Mohamed Konneh, has this morning confirmed the All People's Congress Party (APC) candidate – Kadijatu Davies as winner of the re-run election held last Saturday in the Hamilton Constituency 110 in Freetown, after intense campaigning by both the ruling SLPP and the main opposition APC.
There were fears last night over allegations of the SLPP leadership leaning on the chief electoral commissioner, to suspend the announcement of the results until further notice while a recount is conducted.
Announcing the results on national TV and Radio this morning, the NEC chairman said that Kadi Davies polled 51.73% with 9,354 votes, and the ruling SLPP party candidate – Josephine Jackson won 48.27% with 8,729 votes.
This is what the NEC chairman said:
https://www.thesierraleonetelegraph.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Constituency-110-election-NEC-declares-APC-the-winner.mp4
Commenting on the results and sounding alarm bells for the government, an SLPP grassroots leader said: "These elections, especially Constituency 110 is a clear referendum on the 2023/24 elections in the western Area. SLPP is guilty and has always been a culprit of grassroot neglect. What pains me most is when some of us, especially some of our leaders Know what to do but are deliberately avoiding their obligations. I thank the First Lady and appreciate her effort and support but for those claiming to know the dynamics of grassroot politics, this is a clear manifestation of their ignorance.
"To say the truth, SLPP is in a comfortable position to support such elections. Thank you Mr President for the wonderful development steps in Constituency 110. Yes development is good and great but election is about one man one vote. Our target should and must be grassroot root oriented. Let this be a lesson to all of us. Some of us are in our little corner but we are not stupid or ignorant. At least we know politics. I rest my case."
This is what Lahai Lawrence Leema, National Public Relations Officer of the SLPP said in reaction to today's results:
"The Sierra Leone Peoples' Party has noted the announcement of the final results by the National Returning Officer of the National Electoral Commission of the Constituency 110 parliamentary bye-elections which declared Kadie Davies of the APC as Member of Parliament elect. While we are disappointed with this result, let me on behalf of the party congratulate all our supporters for coming out and casting their ballots in a peaceful atmosphere.
"We wish to maintain that we accept these results with our usual grace and consider this a victory, especially because we have secured 48% of the valid votes cast, in a constituency traditionally considered an opposition stronghold. This result, we believe, is indicative of the fact that the SLPP is winning the hearts and minds of fellow Sierra Leoneans across the political divide.
With this headway, we will work hard to maintain our political bases, while continuing our national development efforts.
"Let me at this juncture applaud the indefatigable and vibrant Madam Josephine Jackson, the SLPP candidate for these elections. You put up a brave fight and lost with honour, dignity and respect for yourself and the SLPP party. Your determination to win this election left us on a very good footing to evaluate our chances to win 2023 elections without a runoff.
To our revered First Lady, Mrs. Fatima Bio, we thank you for your show of leadership and drive to succeed in the midst of innumerable odds.
"Thank you again to all my vigilant SLPP supporters for keeping a very high spirit and determination to win these elections. I entreat you all to keep the peace at all times and respect the 'One Country, One People' mantra of the party. Having said the above, let me reiterate that we honourably concede this loss and happily go back to the onerous task of leading Sierra Leone from the economic doldrums into which it was crashed by the APC."
But there are questions today about the decision of the High Court to annul ten of the seats won by the opposition APC at the 2018 general elections which were then "illegally" taken over by the ruling SLPP to form a majority in parliament.
After the declaration of the APC as winner of the Constituency 110 re-run election this morning, many in Sierra Leone are now calling for the Courts to call for re-run of all of the annulled seats.
These are the results of all the elections held last Saturday in various parts of Sierra Leone:
DECLARATION OF RESULTS FOR PARLIAMENTARY RE-RUN ELECTION HELD IN CONSTITUENCY 110
DECLARATION OF RESULTS FOR LOCAL COUNCIL BYE-ELECTIONS IN WARD 226- KAR.ENE DISTRICT
SLPP midterm elections defeat – an unwelcome Christmas present for president Bio
President Bio and former president Ernest Bai Koroma in Ivory Coast
Alusine Fallay says:
It is about time for the destructive APC party to have something to celebrate. After their shocking loss at the 2018 presidential elections which they are still contesting in the supreme courts, the loss of the Speaker Of Parliament because of their barbaric behavior during the opening of parliament, their unprecedented loss in the just concluded COI, their failed attempts to ferment lawlessness in different parts of the country, by spreading hate messages and "mammy curse" through negative propaganda. These resulted in loss of lives and recently the humiliation of their lifetime leader and chairman who is currently facing money laundering and corruption allegations, but used primitive and barbaric tactics, using women, children and members of secret societies as human shields to avoid accountability.
The reality is the SLPP still has the Speaker of parliament and are still the majority based on the fact that they used their brains rather than their muscles during the 2018 opening of parliament. May the Almighty continue to bless our Speaker Of Parliament Dr. Chernoh Abass Bundu.
Alimamy Turay says:
After three rolls of the dice, the outcome was unchanged – three craps for the paopa SLPP. The cool and beautiful Kadie Davies of the Opposition APC party retained the parliamentary seat she won in the 2018 elections. This took place at the backdrop of an unequal skirmish against the ruling party opponent Josephine Jackson, who had all the political support and financial enticements on her side, amid what appeared to be the third and final round. Though, as the dust settled, it was the glittering red trunks of the resilient and skillful Kadie Davies that gleamed across the now impatient and agitated spectators, as Josephine Jackson laid on the floor grunting and her green trunks covered in debris.
In the midst of the premeditated bribes for the anticipated victory of the new darling of the SLPP were: the rehabilitation of a 1 km strip of road within the battleground constituency; the transformation of MMCET college into a technical university status; the increase by 20 beds in a hospital in the constituency; and a promise of financial aid to small businesses in the region. Notwithstanding, all these efforts were to no avail. Even the razzmatzz and seductive dancing of the First Lady did not help the SLPP candidate. The people of constituency 110 knew it was just a ploy from an administration that is notorious for not fulfilling their ludicrous promises.
The paopa SLPP is a bunch of power-hungry criminals that believe they can change the odds in their favour through thuggery and unconstitutional practices. Somehow, this PAOPA SYNDROME or outright hooliganism is gaining momentum in certain quarters of the society; as when it was all clear that Josephine Jackson had been knocked out, some people with twisted minds were still praying and willing for an almighty demigod to descend on earth and overturn the result in her favour. Thanks to the international community that had threatened to withhold aid if the paopa SLPP did not conform to democratic and human rights practices. What a reckless waste of time and resources.
idris Alpha Munu says:
In event like the peaceful outcome of the re-run election in the constituency 110 parliamentary seat, between the APC candidate, Kadie Davies versus SLPP candidate, Josephine Jackson, there is logically speaking no individual winner or loser in the contest. I think overall, the result is a win for the country that every well meaning Sierra Leonean should like to see more of and continued into the future. Sierra Leone wins. Congratulations!
Gentlemen – After careful, insightful and thorough consideration, I have finally reached a definitive conclusion that totally convinces me that life and the world we are living in can be likened to a field of battle, built by the hands of Omnipotent heaven exclusively for the purpose of promoting grueling competition in which the most intense rivalries are measured, assessed and duly rewarded through the efforts, sacrifices and hard work of the contestants involved.
Sometimes defeat like the one Madam Davies has handed the Criminal SLPP Cabal, comes with heartbreaking humiliation and disgrace that
clings onto the loser like a bad smell from a sewer no one has ever experienced before. Serves them right for trying to promote thievery by using shady underhanded tactics that only the dumbest blockheads among us would gullibly believe would certainly give them the political advantage they so desperately needed.
Mr Leema should crawl back under his tenebrous, shadowy rock and shed copious tears over their pathetic demoralizing loss, instead of trying to put a positive spin on such a crushing mortifying defeat.(lol) Lahai Leema the loser – who in their right minds would decide to put such an arrogant, tribalistic numskull as spokesperson in charge of anything of substance and great worth? Bwahahaha, let these underperforming losers and their clueless, shifty supporters now go directly to their homes and blow out their running noses in sadness and utter regret; and let them now feel at ease to inebriate and wash away their sorrows with Appeteshie and Fresh Palm wine.(lol)What good is it then – having a First Lady with no amount of clout whatsoever?(lol)Hey!
I sincerely hope it is now clear to the Southern minds in theinept criminal SLPP that delirious wild dancing doesn't win elections – careful and strategic planning does. Ya heard!(lmao)
Abraham amadu jalloh says:
All praise goes to Mr. Mohamed Konneh,the chief electoral commissioner,and his team, for the speed, and due diligence applied, in announcing the results of this hotly contested election in constituency 110. The way this election was conducted, and the manner, and timing was crucial for all the right reasons. And it has shone a bright light for what is possible in a young democracy like ours. Long may it continue. Any delay of the outcome of this results, would have left the vacuum to be filled with conspiracy theorists and tribalistic elements which is not good for a healthy democracy. All credit goes to the candidates and their supporters for the maturity they conduct themselves. It shows we can be on the opposite side of the political spectrum, but it doesn't necessarily translate that we are mortal enemies. We can agree to disagree.
After all we are all Sierra Leoneans breathing tbe same air, sharing the same land in the greatest country on earth. This is what democracy is all about. The will of the people is exercised transparently, with a wide open tent that can accommodate every shred of opinion, and most importantly, people can exercise their right freely. Now the hard work of delivering the promises made begins. otherwise Mrs Davies will be voted out next time around. Politicians should be made aware, we can't settle for empty promises anymore. You have to deliver the GOODS. What tbis election has demonstrated is that people's power is alive and kicking. Although one can't help but notice with curiosity, there were little sprinkles of mini Trumps that wanted the NEC to nudge things their own way.
So tbose politicians like Bio and some of his ministers that promise us land of honey and milk, they better start delivering, or next in the chopping block will be Bio's government. The good thing about the information age, people can see how their lives have been ruined by Bio and his misguided policies, and compare that to our closest neighbours like Liberia, then you start to scratch your head and ask what in the world is Bio and his government up to. I certainly don't get it.
Sahr Matturi says:
It's official that Hon Kadie Davies has mercilessly defeated the SLPP candidate in constituency 110. I was not surprised at all. It's time to start healing the divide in constituency 110 masterminded by those chanting bullish slogans shamelessly. Who cares about the support for the SLPP candidate by Mrs Fatima Bio? There is no doubt in my mind that Hon Kadie Davies will be a leader for all the inhabitants of constituency 110. This defeat by the APC candidate is a catalyst and springboard to kick the Bio SLPP kakistocracy and their cohorts out of power in 2023. Finally, it's time for the courts to reconsider their decision on crediting the SLPP party with 10 annulled seats. Elections must be held in those constituencies. Have to. God bless Hon Kadie Davies.
Congratulations to APC.

Q: A good word for someone that is going to lots of big (global, local, folk) festivals? I need a good word for someone that is going to lots of big festivals, but not partically limited to music, dance or something. Mostly like the national and local folk festivals. Thanks!

A: A word in current use is festivalist:

festivalist, noun: One who frequents or enjoys festivals.

The Festivalista is an online magazine for festivalists -- or festivalistas, which sounds better to my ears.

A: What comes to mind is fairgoer:

goer
NOUN

*

*[in combination] A person who attends a specified place or event, especially on a regular basis.
'churchgoers'
'a filmgoer'
fair (2)
NOUN

*

*A gathering of stalls and amusements for public entertainment.
'I won a goldfish at the fair'

*A periodic gathering for the sale of goods.
2.1 An exhibition to promote particular products.
'the European Fine Art Fair'
2.2 North American An annual competitive exhibition of livestock, agricultural products, etc., held by a town, county, or state.

You could also use festival goer (or festivalgoer)

festivalgoer
NOUN
A person attending a music festival, film festival, etc.
'a cheering crowd of festivalgoers'
'the majority of festivalgoers purchase tickets weeks in advance of the screenings'

In the US, at least, fairgoer would likely make people think of a state fair or a county fair.  If that's not what you're looking for, festival might be the better choice.
And lastly, if you really want to stress the notion of going to lots of festivals, you could use an adjective such as professional (see #2.1) or serial (again, note #2.1).
Of course, 50 years ago, that would have been a deadhead.  8^)

A: How about bon vivant? The dictionary says it refers to someone who likes to go to parties to enjoy food and wine.

A: A festival aficionado
An aficionado is a person who likes, knows about, and appreciates a usually fervently pursued interest or activity; a devotee (M-W)

A: I you will accept two words,
Festival junkie

Junkie: 2. One who has an insatiable interest or devotion: "a sports junkie." (American Heritage)

(I would define it simply as an addict.)

State Laws Hide Farm Cruelty
Updated Apr. 21, 2017 11:02AM ET / Published Apr. 07, 2013 7:59PM ET
Rainer Dittrich / Corbis
Despite multiple charges against perpetrators of animal abuse at farms across the country stemming from covert video, state lawmakers are proposing and enacting bills banning undercover taping and requiring animal rights group ties to be disclosed when applying for jobs. Under one bill, violators who take video or pictures of livestock farms would be put on a "terrorist registry." In Iowa, Utah, and Missouri, undercover operations have been stomped out by laws passed, and Indiana and Tennessee will be voting on similar measures soon. "It definitely has had a chilling effect on our ability to conduct undercover investigations," says Vandhana Bala, general counsel for one of the leading groups, Mercy for Animals.

Stories Must Have Closure Even When Real Life Doesn't
On Luigi Pirandello's "Six Character in Search for an Author"
Image Source: The Guardian
When "Six Characters in Search for an Author" by Luigi Pirandello was first staged at Teatro Valle in Rome, it did not sit well with the audience. As the play makes it clear from the beginning, everything is random. The play ends the same way it began: leaving the conflict unresolved giving it the impression of having an unfinished plot. This failure to deliver the promise of a resolution unsettled the audience. It was even reported that their quarrel escalated into a fistfight. The same play, however, became a success in Milan, and in 1934, Pirandello won the Nobel Prize Award for Literature. I find it interesting because when I watched a school production of the play, I initially felt like the Roman audience. But upon hearing a lecture of the play, I felt like I had traveled to Milan and arrived at a paradigm shift.
The story is about six characters who barge into a set unannounced, interrupting an ongoing theater rehearsal. They claim to be characters of an orphaned, unfinished novel, and demand that their family tragedy be told so that it would finally have a conclusion. This otherwise cynical and cerebral writer had just presented a problem that could be summed up in the Father's line: we humans, unlike animals, are only quick to rationalize our suffering, but not our happiness, "as if happiness were our right". Whether a lot has changed since Pirandello wrote the play remains debatable. The problem of suffering is argued to be the one serious philosophical question out of which different branches of thought emerged offering a variety of responses to choose from. It's the question that the ancients have grappled with, and at this rate, the world could end before people agree on why it began in the first place.
Pirandello's answer? Absurdism — and it reflected the spirit of the war-torn age. For him, breaking the rules of drama was not a mere stylistic choice. It was a reflection of his belief that humans live in a purposeless, chaotic universe. Coming out of WWI, people were beginning to consider that perhaps civilization is nothing but a fragile veneer for the chaos humans are ultimately capable of. The irony isn't lost on Pirandello, who was born in Sicily, in a place aptly named Kaos. But make no mistake about it. "Drama is action, sir, action and not confounded philosophy'', Pirandello would say.
This is where writer Rodrigo Etcheto would stop him short. He would ask, "Where exactly is the randomness?" He explains that while events and existence may seem random, the laws of physics that make life possible are not random. The distance of the planets from the sun to support life is so specific that our planet is the only one to fit that probability (at least until scientists relocate us elsewhere in space that is). "The universe is highly ordered and law-like, but still exhibits enough chaos to permit freedom", he says. Instead of rehashing the cliche that everything happens for a reason, Rodrigo Etcheto would point to chaos as the consequence of free will rather than purpose as the justification of all suffering ("What Exists is Not Random", 2018).
Yet even though the characters were insistent on ending their family tragedy, they made it quite clear that the closure they were aiming for, if it was to be granted at all, was going to be hard-won. It wasn't enough to know how the story ends, they wanted to tell their story as true to life as could be, interrupting the actors when they weren't portraying them right. It appears the only logic that the play follows is that the story frames reality. By the same token, it frames our limits which can be deceptive. "Myths become myths not in the living but in the retelling", wrote journalist David Maraniss.
Still, why would the characters go through the trouble of replaying each painful memory, each scandal? For me, it brings to mind the riddle "If a tree in a forest falls and nobody's around to hear it, did it even make a sound?" But that is a trick question. One's experience is ultimately real enough for the one who has to go through it.
Life throws a curveball at us, bringing us to the end of the road. Not only do we want our stories to have closure, even when, let's face it, real-life doesn't always have closure, we want it to have a happy ending. But how can we have a happy ending, if we don't have control of the story because everything is random; if we can't be the hero, in effect, the author of our story? As the characters relay their story in fragments, it's as if through the absence of the author, Pirandello makes the audience the author, which is precisely how I found myself to be invested in the story of Six Characters in Search for an Author.

"Organic delivers!"…and helps fight climate change
By IFOAM - Organics International	January 9, 2020 No Comments
Everything that does the soil good is an asset to us in the fight against climate change: the build-up of humus, mulching, the use of compost and biochar make an important contribution to CO2 absorption. Learn more about how organic delivers in an interview with Professor Andreas Gattinger.
In its report published at the beginning of August 2019, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, (www.ipcc.ch/report/srccl) warns of the massive impacts of the climate crisis on agriculture and forestry. At the same time the report makes clear that arable farming, livestock farming and forestry are major contributors to global warming and calls for these economic sectors to finally assume responsibility and initiate changes to stem climate change. Professor Andreas Gattinger, agricultural and soil scientist, has been dealing with climate issues even as an undergraduate, then as Head of Climate Research at the FiBL Research Institute of Organic Agriculture, and in the course of a great many national and international projects. In particular he conducts research into the impact on the climate of organic farming and other farming systems. As an organic farmer on his parents' farm, which he converted in 2006, he faces the pressing issues of climate change at a very practical level. On the farm, and in his capacity as Professor of Organic Farming with Focus on Sustainable Soil Use at Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) and as scientific director of the university's teaching and research farm Gladbacherhof, he strives to develop suitable solutions.
Professor Gattinger, in Germany and all over the world, especially in recent years, we are experiencing the alarming effects of climate change, which is progressing faster than expected and predicted. Agriculture and forestry are responsible for a quarter of man-made climate-damaging emissions, which have almost doubled in the last 50 years. The main reasons for these are intensive livestock farming – including resource-intensive animal feed production – and the manufacture and excessive use of nitrogen fertilisers. By comparison, does organic farming contribute much less to CO2 emissions, or can it even deliver solutions to meet the Paris climate goals?
Prof. A.G. Even organic cattle emit climate-damaging gases, primarily CH4 (methane). This is a completely natural process. The harmfulness for our climate is a question of the volume of emissions and whether elsewhere in the animal-based food production system there are opportunities to reduce or compensate for greenhouse gases. In this context, the integrated approach of organic farming offers significant benefits over conventional industrial farming. Its climate-friendly aspects include the strict adaptation of livestock numbers to land size, and in crop cultivation the systematic use of CO2-absorbing green manure with nitrogen-producing legumes and the build-up of humus. In the Thünen Report 65 by the German Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries, the Johann Heinrich von Thünen Institute, we calculated that more precisely. We found that German agriculture currently emits around 66 million metric tons CO2 equivalent per year. And this does not even include the energy-intensive production of nitrogen fertilisers. Our meta studies show that in the event of 100% organic farming, the complete greenhouse gas emission from agricultural soils would be largely reduced, corresponding to around 25 million metric tons CO2 equivalent per year! That is a huge reduction. The only drawback is that the production output of foodstuffs would be likely to drop by a quarter to a fifth. But there are solutions for dealing with this.
What solutions do you envisage for reconciling the decline in crop yields, the growing world population and the shift to sustainable agriculture? There is a lot of talk about an "agricultural turnaround".
Prof. A.G. Yes, there is a lot of discussion about an agricultural turnaround, but that won't be enough on its own, that much is clear. There absolutely needs to be a corresponding shift in the way we eat, as agricultural production is part of an overarching food system. Every one of us needs to question our eating habits. Our diet needs to be more plant-based. However, meat consumption is increasing on a worldwide basis and we use 2/3 of our crop yields to keep livestock instead of using them to feed ourselves. This doesn't mean that we all have to become vegans. Ruminants are important for agriculture as efficient converters of grasslands, providers of animal protein but also of natural fertilisers, and for landscape conservation. But we must not abuse animals in industrial production systems. That's not only damaging to our climate but also unethical. Of the around 5 billion hectares of agricultural area worldwide, 3.5 billion hectares are permanent pasture that are not in direct competition with the production of human food; 1.5 billion hectares are arable land. If we were to use these areas in a smarter and more efficient way we would help towards decarbonisation. If we were to feed ruminants from permanent pasture and keep pigs and poultry on a healthy scale again as scavengers, we could save a large amount of CO2 from the targeted 50% (Paris Climate Accord). This would not only allow us to curb global warming at 1.5 degrees, but also maintain a healthy lifestyle. Other aspects like animal welfare would perhaps even resolve themselves in the foreseeable future. We need to make the entire agricultural system more sustainable and align it to the common good to a much greater extent.
The fact is that we also need to look at global climate change from a global perspective. You have worked a lot internationally. How much do we need to differentiate when considering different eco-systems, and which organic farming methods deliver measurable reductions in high, climate-damaging CO2 concentration and as a result reduce global warming?
Prof. A.G. Naturally we have to adapt the practices and/or concepts of sustainable agriculture to climate zones and soils, agricultural traditions, nutritional habits and other local conditions. In respect of farming it is extremely important to take action based on an integrated system approach that always takes account of a whole raft of measures for climate protection and adapting to climate change. Alongside composting and building up humus through deep-rooted plants, these also include biodiversity, animal welfare and social justice. It is not even that difficult to work in a way that conserves resources. The problem is rather the traditions and dietary habits that often compete with the sustainable use of resources. This is where intelligent and above all convincing models are called for. There are enough good examples all around the world: The sadly now deceased Kenyan recipient of the "Alternative Nobel Prize" Wangari Maathai, for example, ensured that millions of trees were planted (www.fembio.org); In Brazil and elsewhere, Swiss national Ernst Götsch campaigns for scalable, practicable permaculture systems, while Geoff Lawton is dedicated to promoting the Food Forest model. Prestigious research institutes like the FiBL, Rodale and various universities are conducting research, sometimes in partnerships with commercial farms, on these pioneering ecological systems. This also includes a resolute reconstruction and stabilisation of forests and revitalising cleared agricultural landscapes with trees, hedges, shrubberies and biotopes. Orchards are also part of this endeavour. Reforestation in siviculture and agroforestry in agriculture have the potential to do more than all other agronomic measures to decarbonise the atmosphere with a view to becoming carbon neutral.
What are the greatest challenges when it comes to stopping the increasingly rapid advance of climate change?
Prof. A.G. It is high time to act! But firstly, all stakeholders have to acknowledge that climate change is man-made and is not going to fix itself again naturally. There has been more than enough analysis of the climate sins that have been committed; there is great consensus among scientists and plenty of suggestions about how we can counter climate change. From my perspective we have to put climate justice right at the top of the agenda. The countries with the highest level of emissions, primarily the industrialised nations, have to make the biggest contribution, in respect of both financial input and the conservation of resources. To embed this sense of responsibility into government policies and every single one of us is just as much of a challenge as the path from acknowledging the facts to taking action as quickly as possible. It is obvious that countries like Mali or Zimbabwe, whose emissions are miniscule, cannot contribute a lot to resolving the climate disaster. Moreover, many of these countries are the ones that suffer, as they are generally at the mercy of the effects of climate change like hurricanes, drought or torrential rain and flooding. The global community should not accept this any longer.
What short-term and medium-term measures do you suggest?
Prof. A.G. We have to reduce our emissions by at least 50% to reach the 1.5 degree mark stipulated by the Paris Climate Accord, but it would be even better to be carbon neutral by 2050. This is demonstrably possible. Even the expansion of organic farming to 20-25% of the area in industrialised countries would help a lot, as we have seen. If the political will is there as well as corresponding incentives, we could get a lot closer to the CO2 reduction goal in the short term, or should at least be able to achieve it by 2030, if we systematically pursue an expansion of organic farming. As well as increasing organic farming, the shift to a more sustainable agricultural and food sector needs to be driven forward at global level. In this context, the organic farming system could be complemented in the medium term by other factors taken from the integrated approach of the organic movement and from regenerative agriculture, agroforestry and permaculture.
Everything that does the soil good is an asset to us in the fight against climate change: the build-up of humus, mulching, the use of compost and biochar make an important contribution to CO2 absorption. But digitalisation in the agricultural sector also makes sense. Smart farming with GPS-controlled tractors helps save resources and cuts emissions as a result, as does efficient feeding of animals. What is crucial is that things get done as quickly as possible!

mothercare elephant bath set is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Charles from Meets Expectations I am happy about the size, the design and weight of this baby bath.
Hi There is no upper age limit - It just depends on when the baby outgrows it. I hope this helps.
Hello, Thank you for your query. Yes, this can float on top of the water or you can hold this in the water to check the temperature also. I hope this information is of use.
Does the bath have baby support or do you need to get that separately?


At the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year a group of my classmates and I worked together to help solve a problem for Pine Street Inn, the largest homeless shelter in New England. We planned two major events and raised $500 for hot meals. After raising the $500 over the time of our class I decided to set a personal goal. I plan on raising $5,000 for Pine Street in total by the time I graduate with my masters degree in three to four years. I wanted to be able to help change something within my community for the better and develop my leadership skills and personal identity in the process. From there I have begun to plan more events and come up with new ideas on how to grow my goal to help other nonprofits as well. I learned about an event that other cities across the country have implemented called "GiveBig". For this one day event, nonprofits in the particular city come together to help one another advertise and raise money through local businesses and larger chains that are in the city. In places where this event has been implemented the cities were able to help raise thousands of dollars for the nonprofits in just one day.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet - District 6 announced that it will be conducting inspections on the bridge.
At least two lanes will be closed on the bridge Sunday through Friday, August 12 - 17, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The Fourth Street entrance ramp in Covington will be closed during those times, as well.
There will be no closures during daytime hours on weekdays, KYTC said.


It's not enough to simply make a space organized. The organizational system must be created with the people who will be in charge of upkeep, in mind. This is why I like to organize a home/office with its people, so I know how they function in their space and what they are and are not willing to do to maintain it. Organization is only half the battle. Upkeep is other half.

Panic by Lauren Oliver | Book Review
Panic by Lauren Oliver
Reading Group: High School+
Personal Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
Given Summary: From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver comes an extraordinary novel of fear, friendship, courage, and hope that Kirkus Reviews says "will have readers up until the wee hours," School Library Journal raves is "fast-paced and captivating," and E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars, calls "a thrill a minute."
Panic began as so many things do in Carp, a poor town of twelve thousand people in the middle of nowhere: because it was summer, and there was nothing else to do. Heather never thought she would compete in panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors. She'd never thought of herself as fearless, the kind of person who would fight to stand out. But when she finds something, and someone, to fight for, she will discover that she is braver than she ever thought.
Dodge has never been afraid of panic. His secret will fuel him, and get him all the way through the game; he's sure of it. But what he doesn't know is that he's not the only one with a secret. Everyone has something to play for. For Heather and Dodge, the game will bring new alliances, unexpected revelations, and the possibility of first love for each of them—and the knowledge that sometimes the very things we fear are those we need the most.
Cover: The cover of this novel shows presumably Heather with her hair blowing across her face. It doesn't give anything away about the plot of the book.
My Review: You know when you get off of a roller coaster or finish a race and you're just so hyped up and have insane amounts of adrenaline punning through your veins? That's what the game Panic is like. That's why so many people played it and why the book is so interesting to read. You get sucked in to believing that you're the one accomplishing the tasks and you can't wait to see what the next one is. This story also has personal stories that make us root for the winner to be Heather or Dodge for multiple different reasons. This book reminded me of Assassin, a game my high school plays senior year where you're assigned a person and you use a water gun to "kill" them. However, if Assassin is a level 4, Panic is level 104. This novel is certainly an adventurous one that keeps you interested throughout the whole thing. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who enjoys stories that keep you guessing and maybe understand what it's like to not like their current situation.

Discussion in 'MacBook Pro' started by marjorie, Jan 16, 2012.
My son left me his old MacBook Pro but he forgot the name and password for it. Is there any way to get in it?
And then maybe do a Clean Install?
Thanks. Your link doesn't work.
link works, or do you mean the info doesnt fix your issue?
The link is good. Try again or reset your browser and try again.
See my post, just before yours.
The link works now. I will see if that can help. Now I have to find where he put the disk, easier said than done.
It works now. Didn't work on the first opening.
Do you have the restore DVDs? If so you can boot to the DVD...wait for it to get to the install screen. The click on the menus at the top. One of them will let you either change the admin password or create a new user account or change the existing user accounts password. Hope that helps.

Chinese Paladin 仙剑奇侠传 is a 35-episode Chinese TV series adapted from a role playing game that aired in 2005. It is considered a cult classic in the fantasy xianxia genre and I'm not the least bit surprised because it has everything that a fan can wish for, putting a lot of heart into a story (that can be cheesy at times) filled with adventure, magic, sword fights and breathtaking visuals.
Hu Ge (21) was a complete unknown and a majority of his co-stars that include Crystal Liu (16), Ady An (23) Eddie Peng (21) and Esther Liu (15) were also barely of legal age then but their youthfulness almost worked to their advantage to give a fresh, fun and earnest vibe, three things that resonated really well with its target audience.
In a way, you can almost assume that the acting is not going to be groundbreaking for a cast so green but they delivered a credible enough performance that is loved by many till this day.
I wouldn't call Chinese Paladin perfect, far from it, but there's no denying that it has that special something that worked so well the first time. By the way, I feel like Chinese Paladin also started the trend of pretty boys and gorgeous girls such that every other drama nowadays is chock-full of picture perfect idols, not complaining though.
Rate your favorite Chinese historical dramas.
Definitely excited to watch chinese paladin series...HU GE looks awesomely dashing and elegant in his latest pics...Just perfect!

I am interested in how functional traits of plants link evolutionary history to current ecological processes. In particular I seek to understand how the evolutionary and biogeographic history of organisms influences community assembly, species composition and, hence, ecosystem function in the face of global change. Much of our work combines phylogenetic and phylogeographic approaches with studies of plant physiological function to understand forces underlying shifts in stress tolerance among closely related species or among populations of the same species. Currently, my lab is focused on using remote sensing tools to link aboveground functional attributes of plants and their diversity to belowground processes as part of a large-scale effort to remotely sense biodiversity and ecosystem processes.
