Why a stay at The Idle Rocks in Cornwall is the perfect antidote to home-working fatigue
Dubbed the 'West London of Cornwall', St Mawes is the hidden gem quickly gaining a reputation for being the smartest destination on the coast - and The Idle Rocks is the chicest place to stay - particularly if you're a keen foodie, wine connoisseur or walker
Cornwall has never been so cool. With the nation looking closer to home for their holidays this summer, more people than ever have discovered the quirky charms of a summer spent in a wet suit or eating fish and chips on the sea wall 'down south'. The Hidden Hut - a word of mouth pop-up restaurant in Portscatho - has achieved cult-like status, while a new opening on the North coast, the Pig at Harlyn Bay, announced the arrival of luxury travel in Padstow. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge even chose the Scilly Islands for their holiday destination this year. And soon, Cornwall's rugged beauty will be on the small screen again, too - but it's not Poldark this time, but Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca - which will be capturing viewers' imaginations. As we move into autumn, you would be forgiven for thinking Cornwall's moment in the sun was over, but in fact, it's just as gorgeous a destination in the autumn and winter months, too - particularly its glamorous South Coast, which is home to St Mawes - recently voted the best seaside destination in the UK.
For several years now, the smartest place to stay has been The Idle Rocks, a boutique hotel lovingly renovated by owners Karen and David Richards, who bought it in 2013 after spending summers staying nearby. The couple used to walk past it and dream up how they would transform the run-down business, with Karen envisioning it as the perfect place to sip on rosé on the seafront during a heady summer afternoon - Cornwall's version of the South of France. As an interior designer, Karen was keen to do everything herself - sourcing the Fermoie fabrics, finding local artists to work with (she commissioned one to design the menus) and filling the space with family momentos - making it feel both like a home from home and a luxury hotel. It would be easy to overdo a nautical theme, being a coastal hotel, but any reference to it is subtle, whether in the colour palette or in coral or jellyfish knick-knacks.
Each of the 19 bedrooms is unique, although most have the same home comforts - whether its a Roberts radio or White Company diffusers, a flat-screen television or a King-sized bed - but the ones on the waterfront are without doubt superior. Ours had a roll-top bathtub looking out over the sea, and we went to sleep and woke up with the sound of crashing waves beneath, as well as the occasional seagull. Aromatherapy Associates toiletries - particularly the massage oil for tired, aching limbs post-three hour walk - were enthusiastically used.
Dreaming of a European Grand Tour? These are the haute new routes...
For the most cultured and cosseting adventure, Belmond has just announced some sensational new Venice Simplon-Orient-Express routes taking in Rome, Florence, Geneva, Amsterdam and Paris
Speaking of walking, it's the thing to do around here, as the Roseland Peninsula is officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Luckily, Karen and David are experts, and have written a beautiful guide book illustrating the best rambles and hikes in the area, with something for every ability, timeframe and end goal. Want to walk up to the famous church from Richard Curtis's film About Time, St Just in Roseland? There's a 90-minute circular route for that. Perhaps envisioning going further afield along the South West Coastal Path? Plenty of options to choose from there, too. We would recommend taking the Place ferry from the harbour across the water, and then walking up to St Anthony's Head to see the lighthouse - and if you're feeling hardy, continuing on up to Portscatho, home of the famed Hidden Hut restaurant. The Idle Rocks has even launched a 'Taste of Cornwall' package for the autumn, promoting its walks and its wine offering, with a tasting organised by Trevibban Mill, the local winery who also worked with the owners on the hotel's house bottles.
As well as its prime location at the end of the pier, and its proximity to some beautiful walks, another string on Idle Rocks' bow is undoubtedly the food. Its restaurant is headed up by Dorian Janmaat, a fresh recruit who cut his teeth working for Raymond Blanc at Belmond Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, one of the most celebrated restaurants in the country. His cuisine is seasonal and local, with that Blanc-esque flair - think a Cornish tomato and chilli gazpacho with a theatrical pour of the soup, or a pudding inspired by the traditional cream tea, with strawberries sandwiched between shortbread, basil and cream - dishes where the ingredients really sing and the presentation is really fun. Other highlights include the lamb served pink with edamame and goats cheese (a new combination for us) and the crispy pan-fried sea bass, served on top of a seafood risotto.
If you're looking for something a little more relaxed, then book in for lunch or dinner at The Idle Rocks' sister hotel, the St Mawes Hotel, which neatly bookends the harbourside parade. We enjoyed a pre-dinner aperitif here on the days we weren't dining at Idle Rocks, and can throughly recommend the pizzas and pastas - the perfect antidote to a long day of walking. With the same flair and fun as the menu at its bigger sister hotel, dishes are inventive and quirky - think purple sprouting broccoli or roast squash as pizza toppings, or 'hay' flavoured semifreddo. Another thing that unites St Mawes Hotel with Idle Rocks is the approachability and care of the staff - you can tell a lot of pride goes into their work.
While it's a great place to bring a car, the trip down from London Paddington to Truro is more environmentally friendly, and also brings the prospect of a chauffeur-driven Tesla to escort you to the hotel. We booked one via Cornwall Executive Travel - one of its drivers used to be the concierge at Idle Rocks, so if you ride with him, he'll be full of tips about your stay.
Stays at The Idle Rocks are priced from £150 to £475 per night on a bed and breakfast basis. Guests visiting the hotel during the autumn months can also enjoy the 'Taste of Cornwall' experience (from 2 November 2020 – Friday 12 February 2021) priced from £375 pp based on a two night stay on a dinner bed and breakfast basis, including a Trevibban Mill wine tasting and a copy of the hotel's Roseland Walks book, enabling guests to explore the Peninsula with its beautiful autumn colours.

Reading time – 4:34; Viewing time – 7:40 . . .
President Trump visited Corpus Christi and held a news conference, Where he proudly proclaimed, "Thank you, everybody! What a crowd! What a turnout!" thus making over 50″ of rain and widespread devastation for tens of millions of Americans secondary to the size of his crowd. As a special crowd pleaser, he waved a Texas state flag. Then he left, without visiting with any Texans in shelters, without reviewing the vast destruction and without showing any sign of caring about the people.
I understand that tax reform, like everything else in the universe, is solely about Donald Trump. It's clear that his not being disappointed is the most important thing and that the people of the United States of America are not. It's simply and completely all about Donald Trump.
So, yes, Mr. President, we do understand you.
Host Joe Scarborough let us know in no uncertain terms that he's tired of the United States playing footsie with the North Koreans over their development of nuclear bombs and ICBMs. Several presidents have tried bribery and so-called "strategic patience" to contain them and it has not worked. Enough of the good cop routine, says Joe. He's sick of it. Here's the problem with that.
We're not talking about frustration over waiting for your annoying little brother to share a toy; we're talking about nuclear weapons that can kill tens of millions of people in an instantaneous flash. And we're talking about an adversary led by a boy tyrant as impulsive and self-focused as our president. We ought not be posturing or playing chicken here.
Scarborough's frustration, however valid, doesn't matter and isn't the least bit helpful.
Our cable news-addicted president might hear your words, Joe, and then tweet, "I'm hearing that some people are saying we should get tough on the North Koreans." He might act on his impatience, his impulsiveness and his boundless ignorance and that could lead to global disaster. So, please, Joe, just shut up.
In a stunning article based on their extensive research and their report, Media Bias in Terrorism Coverage, the authors unmask the ugly truth, that, "Only the attacks perpetrated by Muslims were routinely called terrorism." Thus, the car attack in Charlottesville by a white supremacist wasn't labeled "terrorism." Neither was Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Or Dylann Roof's murders at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. Or nearly any right wing terrorist attack. The Trump administration follows that pattern, too, so that they only label Muslims as terrorists. Got a problem with that? If you believe in the First Amendment, you should.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) adeptly put a dagger into the back of the Affordable Care Act in 2016 when he championed a nearly complete defunding of the so-called cost-sharing reductions that kept insurance companies whole as the pre-existing conditions issue sorted itself out. That drove insurance companies to jack up their rates enormously or completely withdraw from many states and took medical insurance away from millions of Americans.
In July, the Trump administration terminated contracts with two companies which provide in-person assistance to people to help them to enroll. Think: "Granny just doesn't know how to navigate the internet." And this week the Trump administration announced that it's cutting by 90% the advertising designed to encourage Americans to get health insurance. And HHS has announced that it is dramatically closing the enrollment window for 2018. Those measures ought to be of great assistance in preventing people from signing up and, in consequence, cutting them out of medical care.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to criticize the program, calling it a "disaster" and declaring that it's "on the verge of collapse." It's clearly something of a self-fulfilling prophecy if the Republicans have their way with this program that has helped millions of Americans.
Vice-President Mike Pence visited Texas and made it a point to wear jeans and work gloves to help a homeowner remove branches of a downed tree from his property. He shook hands with and listened to several people suffering from the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. The only problem with that is that showing caring and empathy for the people stung by a huge disaster, being willing to dig in and help, is a leadership task that belongs to the President.
President George H.W. Bush went to be with victims of Hurricane Andrew. President Clinton showed up in Arkadelphia, AR to be with the people devastated by tornadoes. President George W. Bush showed up where the Twin Towers had stood; President Obama stood with the families of Sandy Hook Elementary School and victims of Hurricane Sandy. In none of those or any other national disasters was it the Vice-President who showed up. How come it was VP Pence in Houston?
Perhaps it was because Trump actually doesn't care enough to get his hands dirty. And perhaps it was because Pence has already started running for President.
Headline: White Woman Discusses How Much She Considered Going To A Black Lives Matter Protest Once.
The people of the Gulf Coast are going to need help for a long time. Tens of thousands of residents have lost everything but what they're wearing. Tens of thousands more are and will be digging the mud out of their houses and piling onto the soggy curb what used to be their precious things, hoping that a garbage truck will show up some day. Lend a hand by CLICKING ON THIS LINK, then picking one of the do-gooder outfits dedicated to helping our countrymen. It's our turn to help them now that it's their turn to start over.
President Trump showed up at a Houston shelter for Hurricane Harvey victims.
Read Joe Biden's short and stirring essay, "We Are Living Through a Battle for the Soul of This Nation," because regardless of where you fall on the left-right political continuum, chances are quite good that you'll agree that this is the kind of leadership we need.
I don't know how we'll find the soul of our country when a soul is about "who you are". I don't know who are politicians are because they say all the RIGHT words but their actions don't corroborate with their words. Having a soul means "it's about who you are as a being"…..kindness, thinking of others, empathy….those kind of qualities and from what I see in members in this Administration aren't any of these!! Wish they were, but it won't happen as long as they use harsh rhetoric to define people, lie, make policies that are NEVER about people and what they need, nor can they relate to anyone else except to their "souls of money".
I think we've given very little attention to Louisiana's flooding in the wake of Harvey, which was absolutely devastating. Is it my imagination or is it because there were more whites affected by the storm in Houston and more blacks in Louisiana. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Commemoration details The Lone Pine Memorial (Panel 48), Gallipoli, Turkey
The Lone Pine Memorial, situated in the Lone Pine Cemetery at Anzac, is the main Australian Memorial on Gallipoli, and one of four memorials to men of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Designed by Sir John Burnet, the principal architect of the Gallipoli cemeteries, it is a thick tapering pylon 14.3 metres high on a square base 12.98 metres wide. It is constructed from limestone mined at Ilgardere in Turkey.
The Memorial commemorates the 3268 Australians and 456 New Zealanders who have no known grave and the 960 Australians and 252 New Zealanders who were buried at sea after evacuation through wounds or disease. The names of New Zealanders commemorated are inscribed on stone panels mounted on the south and north sides of the pylon, while those of the Australians are listed on a long wall of panels in front of the pylon and to either side. Names are arranged by unit and rank.
The Memorial stands over the centre of the Turkish trenches and tunnels which were the scene of heavy fighting during the August offensive. Most cemeteries on Gallipoli contain relatively few marked graves, and the majority of Australians killed on Gallipoli are commemorated here.

The riveting follow-up to the New York Times bestselling The 5th Wave, hailed by Justin Cronin as "wildly entertaining."
I hear it in the wind's icy fingers scratching against the window. I smell it in the mildewed carpeting and the rotting wallpaper of the old hotel. And I feel it in Teacup's chest as she sleeps. The hammering of her heart, the rhythm of her breath, warm in the freezing air, the clock winding down.
Across the room, Cassie Sullivan keeps watch by the window. Moonlight seeps through the tiny crack in the curtains behind her, lighting up the plumes of frozen breath exploding from her mouth. Her little brother sleeps in the bed closest to her, a tiny lump beneath the mounded covers. Window, bed, back again, her head turns like a pendulum swinging. The turning of her head, the rhythm of her breath, like Nugget's, like Teacup's, like mine, marking the time of the clock winding down.
I ease out of bed. Teacup moans in her sleep and burrows deeper under the covers. The cold clamps down, squeezing my chest, though I'm fully dressed except for my boots and the parka, which I grab from the foot of the bed. Sullivan watches as I pull on the boots, then when I go to the closet for my rucksack and rifle. I join her by the window. I feel like I should say something before I leave. We might not see each other again.
"So this is it," she says. Her fair skin glows in the milky light. The spray of freckles seems to float above her nose and cheeks.
I adjust the rifle on my shoulder. "This is it."
"You know, Dumbo I get. The big ears. And Nugget, because Sam is so small. Teacup, too. Zombie I don't get so much—Ben won't say—and I'm guessing Poundcake has something to do with his roly-poly-ness. But why Ringer?"
I sense where this is going. Besides Zombie and her brother, she isn't sure of anyone anymore. The name Ringer gives her paranoia a nudge. "I'm human."
"Yeah." She looks through the crack in the curtains to the parking lot two stories below, shimmering with ice. "Someone else told me that, too. And, like a dummy, I believed him."
"Not so dumb, given the circumstances."
"Don't pretend, Ringer," she snaps. "I know you don't believe me about Evan."
"I believe you. It's his story that doesn't make sense."
I head for the door before she tears into me. You don't push Cassie Sullivan on the Evan Walker question. I don't hold it against her. Evan is the little branch growing out of the cliff that she clings to, and the fact that he's gone makes her hang on even tighter.
Teacup doesn't make a sound, but I feel her eyes on me; I know she's awake. I go back to the bed.
"Take me with you," she whispers.
I shake my head. We've been through this a hundred times. "I won't be gone long. A couple days."
No way, Teacup. Promises are the only currency left. They must be spent wisely. Her bottom lip quivers; her eyes mist. "Hey," I say softly. "What did I tell you about that, soldier?" I resist the impulse to touch her. "What's the first priority?"
"No bad thoughts," she answers dutifully.
"Because bad thoughts do what?"
"And what happens if we go soft?"
"And do we want to die?"
She shakes her head. "Not yet."
I touch her face. Cold cheek, warm tears. Not yet. With no time left on the human clock, this little girl has probably reached middle age. Sullivan and me, we're old. And Zombie? The ancient of days.
angelay - The Infinite Sea was okay compared to the first book which was The 5th Wave. I think the 5th Wave gave me more of a lasting impression than the Infinite Sea because I was already acquainted with most of the characters already. The book has such a haunting narrative throughout so I couldn't help but be captivated by the plot (even though it wasn't as good as the 5th Wave's). The plotline is also full of action and suspense but the 2nd book is significantly shorter than the first, so I was kind of disappointed because as a reader I prefer longer books. I also like the way the author focuses on covering every plothole and answering every question through subtle hints, because that makes the reading experience even more immersive. My favorite character was Ringer, but the author is very unpredictable about his main characters as you cannot predict whether a secondary character will turn into a main character or not. Every character has a real background of their own and some of them are very relatable, and most of them have been through the same thing which are the first three waves: EM shutdown, tsunamis and the pestilence. I also learned something important from the series which is to always stick together because being a team is better than going solo, teamwork is very important.
From an explosive start that reveals the boundless malevolence of Yancey's conquering alien Others, this gut-wrenching sequel to The 5th Wave careens on a violent course of nonstop action. Heroine Cassie, renegade soldier Ringer, and fellow survivor Ben have led a band of military camp escapees to a decaying hotel somewhere in Ohio. With winter approaching, they squabble over how to attempt survival, with Ringer questioning whether Cassie's refusal to budge until they know what happened to Evan, who helped them escape but who may be an Other, means she's fallen in love with the enemy. Reversals and double-reversals abound. At one point, Ringer admits to dizziness, a sensation readers may share. "Bluffs inside bluffs, feints within counterfeints. I'm in a game," she says, "in which I don't know the rules or even the object." Despite the gore, inhumanity, and senseless losses, Yancey manages an ending that both shatters and uplifts. While readers may not yet fully understand what the Others are up to, the title, an allusion to a speech made by Shakespeare's Juliet, is a clue to what's driving the survivors: love. Ages 14–up.

Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire: Multidisciplinary care
A 38-year-old man (we will call Mr. KL in this article) was seen on December 17, 2019 in the vicinity of the Saint Vincent de Paul Psychiatric Hospital, in Yamoussoukro (Côte d'Ivoire), wandering around without any place of reference. He was in an advanced state of instability, full of mud, clothes torn and unable to communicate. Our hospital staff member approached him and brought him to our hospital where he was immediately taken in charge by a multidisciplinary team.
He got his hair cut, was given a bath and clothes. This allowed him to have a more human and presentable body. He was also given a meal to recover his strengths and was allowed to rest.
Later a diagnostic revealed that Mr. KL was schizophrenic: he then got adapted medical care. In the following days, he showed clear improvement. This allowed him to be integrated into the hospital community and to participate in individual as well as in group activities. This tri-therapy (medication, activities and social integration) revealed to be efficient as much progress continued to be noticed.

In the meantime, the hospital's social service had started searching for Mr. KL's acquaintances in the Yamoussoukro city and its outskirts. It turned out that he was from Ouagadougou, the capital city of Burkina Faso, a neighbouring country of Côte d'Ivoire.
Based on this information, a series of actions was set up by the hospital's teams involved in medical, paramedical and post-hospitalisation care to help him be reunited with his family.
On June 10, 2021, Mr. KL left the hospital after an hospitalisation of almost 1 year and 7 months and joined the Burkinabe community in Yamoussoukro. He then travelled by road to his native land. The social service revealed later on that Mr. KL safely has arrived at home in Ouagadougou and has been reunited with his family.
He has really been restored in his human dignity.

Every year, the Internal Revenue Service announces cost-of-living adjustments that affect contribution limits for retirement plans and various tax deduction, exclusion, exemption, and threshold amounts. Here are a few of the key adjustments for 2022.
Estate, Gift, and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax
The annual gift tax exclusion (and annual generation-skipping transfer tax exclusion) for 2022 is $16,000, up from $15,000 in 2021.
The gift and estate tax basic exclusion amount (and generation-skipping transfer tax exemption) for 2022 is $12,060,000, up from $11,700,000 in 2021.
Taxpayers can generally choose to itemize certain deductions or claim a standard deduction on their federal income tax returns. In 2022, the standard deduction is:
$12,950 (up from $12,550 in 2021) for single filers or married individuals filing separate returns
$25,900 (up from $25,100 in 2021) for married joint filers
$19,400 (up from $18,800 in 2021) for heads of household
The additional standard deduction amount for the blind and those age 65 or older in 2022 is:
$1,750 (up from $1,700 in 2021) for single filers and heads of household
$1,400 (up from $1,350 in 2021) for all other filing statuses
Special rules apply for those who can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.
The combined annual limit on contributions to traditional and Roth IRAs is $6,000 in 2022 (the same as in 2021), with individuals age 50 or older able to contribute an additional $1,000. The limit on contributions to a Roth IRA phases out for certain modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) ranges (see chart). For individuals who are covered by a workplace retirement plan, the deduction for contributions to a traditional IRA also phases out for certain MAGI ranges (see chart). The limit on nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA is not subject to phaseout based on MAGI.
MAGI Ranges: Contributions to a Roth IRA
MAGI Ranges: Deductible Contributions to a Traditional IRA
Note: The 2022 phaseout range is $204,000–$214,000 (up from $198,000–$208,000 in 2021) when the individual making the IRA contribution is not covered by a workplace retirement plan but is filing jointly with a spouse who is covered. The phaseout range is $0–$10,000 when the individual is married filing separately and either spouse is covered by a workplace plan.
Employer Retirement Plans
Employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), and most 457 plans can defer up to $20,500 in compensation in 2022 (up from $19,500 in 2021); employees age 50 or older can defer up to an additional $6,500 in 2022 (the same as in 2021).
Employees participating in a SIMPLE retirement plan can defer up to $14,000 in 2022 (up from $13,500 in 2021), and employees age 50 or older can defer up to an additional $3,000 in 2022 (the same as in 2021).
Kiddie Tax: Child's Unearned Income
Under the kiddie tax, a child's unearned income above $2,300 in 2022 (up from $2,200 in 2021) is taxed using the parents' tax rates.

You will need to choose a highly-experienced orthodontist with the necessary qualifications. Not all dentists have the education and qualification to give you braces. You can also ask around for referrals from people you know when you are searching for an orthodontist.
Before getting an orthodontic treatment, you have to decide on how you will pay for getting your teeth straightened – will your dental insurance cover the cost, or is the payment coming from your own pocket? Ask your orthodontist about the payment plans they offer for treatments.
discreet methods of adult orthodontics can be completed in a few months. You can go for free consultations to ask about the different orthodontic options that can address your teeth straightening requirements.
Invisible braces are now available to provide discreet teeth straightening. However, there are some cases that only conventional dental braces can improve. Do more research and ask the orthodontist about your case and what options will be the best.
You will have to take care of your oral health even better during and after you have an orthodontic treatment. This will make sure that your straight teeth will remain healthy for a longer period of time, and that the costly investment you made will be taken care of properly.

Remarks by Ambassador Geng Shuang at the UN Security Council Emergency Meeting on Ukraine
At present, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has led to constant attacks on civilian facilities and the steady rise of civilian casualties and displaced persons, which is a very worrying development. There is no winner in conflicts and wars. Dialogue and negotiation are the only way forward. The parties concerned should start direct engagements and resume diplomatic negotiations at an early date. The international community should work together to support all efforts for the peaceful resolution of the crisis in Ukraine, avoid escalation of the conflict and prevent the emergence of a nuclear crisis, ensure the stability of the supply chain of the Global Industrial chain and improve the humanitarian situation in the crisis area.
We once again call on all parties concerned to exercise restraint, avoid actions that may exacerbate the confrontation, and prevent the situation from spiraling out of control. In particular, all parties should strictly abide by international humanitarian law, make every effort to protect civilians and civilian facilities, and do their utmost to minimize the impact of the conflict on people's lives.
The humanitarian situation in Ukraine under conflict is dire. The cold weather will significantly aggravate the plight of the people. The international community should help Ukraine to urgently repair damaged energy infrastructure provide winter supplies to the affected population, meet the basic needs of the refugees and displaced persons, and ensure that all those in need can be properly resettled and safely overwintered, so as to prevent a larger humanitarian crisis.
Over the weekend, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was hit by the most intense shelling in months, causing serious damage to the plant site, which renews international concern about a nuclear disaster. The issue of nuclear safety and security is of great importance and cannot be compromised. China calls on all parties concerned to act with prudence, ensure the safety of nuclear facilities and avoid causing man-made nuclear accidents. China supports IAEA as mandated in its continued consultations with Russia and Ukraine, on the safety and security of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant with a view to reaching a mutually acceptable arrangement.
Managing the spillover effects of the crisis should be the focus of international cooperation on Ukraine. China welcomes the agreement reached by the parties concerned on the extension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative and the continued efforts of the UN Secretariat to address the obstacles to the export of Russian grain and fertilizer. We hope that this positive development will demonstrate beyond this council the achievements and the potential of diplomatic efforts in conflict situations. We also hope that the parties concerned will on this basis stay engaged and strive for more diplomatic breakthroughs.
As a closing, I wish to reiterate that China's position on Ukraine is consistent and clear. We will continue to work with the international community to play a constructive and responsible role in the restoration of the Ukraine crisis.
Thank you, Mr. President.

Solar Panel Inspection Employs Drone, AI, Automatic Reporting (1)
Mosaic abnormalities caused by lightning can be detected
Shinichi Kato, Nikkei BP Intelligence Group, CleanTech Labo
NEC Networks & System Integration Corp (NESIC), a system integrator belonging to the NEC Group, began to offer solar panel inspection services using drones (unmanned compact aircraft) on June 24, 2019 (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: Consistently supports solar panel inspection using drones (source: NESIC)
NESIC has been engaged in system integration and O&M (operation and maintenance) services targeting a wide range of fields, including communication and broadcasting infrastructures, railways and expressways in Japan and abroad, as well as electric vehicle (EV) charging systems in recent years.
The company also offers consistent one-stop services from EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) services to O&M services targeting mega (large-scale) solar power plants. The company constructed 24 mega solar power plants including those under construction with a total output of about 193MW in Japan (Related article 1: X-Elio to Set Up 62MW of Solar Plants in Miyagi, Related article 2: Sonnedix Begins Construction of 46.6MW Solar Plant in Iwate)
The business of solar panel inspection services using drones was started responding to a request from the division that offers EPC and O&M services. The company received an informal order for O&M services from a mega solar power plant featuring an output of several tens of MW in the Tohoku region, to which the company offered the EPC services. It was unrealistic to include inspection of a huge number of solar panels by walking around the mountain site and using portable infrared cameras in the O&M plan.
Under such situation, the division in charge of EPC and O&M paid attention to the knowhow of the division that is already involved in the drone business. NESIC started the business of consistently supporting the utilization of drones by the industrial sector in 2015. The services include selection, procurement and sale of drones according to the field that uses them and conditions of the areas where they fly, education and training to ensure safe operation of drones, inspection and repair of drones, as well as flying of drones, collection and processing of data and analysis of the collected data.
The company also looked for a method to automate the process of analyzing thermal distribution images shot from the sky using drones by taking advantage of the knowhow on artificial intelligence (AI) of companies of the NEC Group. NEC develops AI technologies under the name "NEC the WISE." One of the divisions of NESIC has been engaged in the AI business in collaboration with the AI division of NEC, and the company thought of using the knowhow.

Let your son take over from Akufo-Addo – Captain Smart tells Ursula Owusu
Onua TV/FM's morning show host, Blessed Godsbrain Smart believes Ursula Owusu's son should take over from Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as President of the Republic.
This he says is as a result of a loose talk made by the Communications and Digitalisation Minister whilst in opposition.
Ursula Owusu-Ekuful criticising the erstwhile John Mahama administration in the round up to the 2016 elections is said to have held that "if governance was all about borrowing, then my 18-year-old son can be the President of Ghana."
The statement according to Captain Smart should be given premium and implemented since the Akufo-Addo led government has borrowed than any other government this country has had.
Ranting on 'Maakye' Monday, July 25, 2022, Mr. Smart disclosed government has borrowed close to GH₵400billion excluding an annual revenue the GRA rakes in each year.
He continued that, an average GH₵50billion is collected by the Ghana Revenue Authority with a GH₵39.4billlion realised in 2022, about five months to the end of the year.
According to the summary of Economic and Financial Data by the Bank of Ghana, the country's total public debt stock rose marginally by a ₵130 million to ₵393.4 billion in June 2022, which is about 78.3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
This is against a revised debt of ₵392.1 –78% of GDP – put out by the BoG in March 2022. The Central Bank had, however, released an earlier amount of ₵391.9 in May 2022, before the current figure.
Converting the value to dollars, Ghana's debt in June 2022 was $54.4 billion, being a marginal drop from the March 2022 figure of $55.1 billion in March 2022.
A careful look at the data suggests that the country did not borrow fresh funds during the 2nd quarter of 2022.

What Is an ASPX File?
A file with the ASPX file extension is an Active Server Page Extended file that's designed for Microsoft's ASP.NET framework. They're also called .NET Web forms.
ASPX files are generated by a web server and contain scripts and source codes that help communicate to a browser how a web page should be opened and displayed.
More often than not, you'll probably only see the extension .ASPX in a URL or when your web browser accidentally sends you an ASPX file instead of the one you thought you were downloading.
If you've downloaded an ASPX file and expected it to contain information (like a document or other saved data), it's likely that something is wrong with the website and instead of generating usable information, it provided this server-side file instead.
In that case, one trick is to simply rename the ASPX file to whatever you expect it to be. For example, if you expected a PDF version of a bill from your online bank account, but instead got an ASPX file, just rename the file as bill.pdf and then open the file. If you expected an image, try renaming the ASPX file image.jpg. You get the idea.
In order to rename the file, your computer has to be set up to show you the file extension. To do this, open the Run dialog box (WIN+R) and enter control folders. Use the View menu to locate the Hide extensions for known file types — uncheck it and apply the changes.
The issue here is that sometimes the server (the website you're getting the ASPX file from) doesn't properly name the generated file (the PDF, the image, the music file, etc.) and present it for downloading as it should. You're just manually taking that last step.
You can't always change a file extension to something else and expect it to work under the new format. This case with a PDF file and the ASPX file extension is a very special circumstance because it's basically just a naming error that you're fixing by changing it from .ASPX to .PDF.
Sometimes the cause of this problem is browser or plug-in related, so you might have luck loading the page that's generating the ASPX file from a different browser than the one you're using now. For example, if you're using Internet Explorer, try switching to Chrome or Firefox.
There's no need to do anything to open this type of file because your browser does it for you, whether it's Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.
The actual code in the ASPX file is processed by the web server and can be coded in any program that codes in ASP.NET. Microsoft's Visual Studio is one free program you can use to open and edit ASPX files. Another tool, although not free, is the popular Adobe Dreamweaver.
Sometimes, an ASPX file can be viewed and its contents edited with a simple text file editor. To go that route, try one of our favorite text editors.
Many URLs end in default.aspx because that file serves as the default web page for Microsoft IIS servers (i.e., that's the page that opens when a user requests the site's root web page). It can, however, be changed to a different file by an admin.
Be careful to avoid confusing other similarly named file extensions for one that ends with .ASPX. For example, ASX files looks like they might be related to ASPX files but they could actually be Alpha Five Library Temporary Index files that only work within the context of the Alpha Anywhere platform. The same is true for others like ASCX.
ASPX files have an explicit purpose. Unlike image files, like PNG, JPG, GIF, etc. where a file conversion retains compatibility with most image editors and viewers, ASPX files will stop doing what they're meant to do if you convert them to other file formats.
Converting ASPX to HTML, for example, will certainly make the HTML result look like the ASPX web page. However, since the elements of the ASPX files are processed on a server, you can't use them properly if they exist as HTML, PDF, JPG, or any other file you convert them to on your computer.
However, given that there are programs that use ASPX files, you can save the ASPX file as something else if you open it in an ASPX editor. Visual Studio, for example, can save open ASPX files as HTM, HTML, ASP, WSF, VBS, MASTER, ASMX, MSGX, SVC, SRF, JS, and others.


The tracks were made available on music streaming services starting Wednesday and on YouTube where they were presented with lyric videos that feature art from the cover of Egypt Station.
The album is set for release on Sept. 7.
"But it's alright, sleep tight/ I will take the strain/ You'll find, love of mine/ You will feel no pain," the former Beatle sings on "I Don't Know," a soft ballad.
"If you come on to me, will I come on to you?" he sings on "Come On To Me," a more upbeat rock song.
Egypt Station is the follow-up to McCartney's last solo outing, 2013's New.
"I liked the words Egypt Station. It reminded me of the 'album' albums we used to make… Egypt Station starts off at the station on the first song and then each song is like a different station. So it gave us some idea to base all the songs around that. I think of it as a dream location that the music emanates from," the 76-year-old said in a statement about the meaning behind the project's title.
"It's more a question of me feeling lucky that these people are interested [in working with me] and think that I can bring something to it. For me, I feel great. I like diversity," he said.
McCartney is set to be a featured guest on James Corden's popular Late Late Show segment, Carpool Karaoke this week.

Winchester's largest factory to be sold
Mickey Shuey
Palladium-Item
WINCHESTER — Randolph County's largest manufacturer will not be shuttering its doors come November as previously expected.
Indiana Marujun, which employs nearly 700 people, and its assets will be sold in full to TOA Industries Co., a Japanese-based automotive parts producer, it was announced to employees late Thursday. The Winchester company, which in September 2015 said it would close down after 15 years of operation, is a subsidiary of another Japanese corporation.
The purchase — for which terms such as price and potential tax abatements have not been made public — has been in the works for a few months and will be completed in November, according to Marujun vice president of business Eric Fields.
"Negotiations began several months ago, but it was (Thursday) that an announcement was made," he said. "We're very fortunate to know that this is all in place."
TOA Industries already has a foothold in Indiana, with more than 500 jobs at its Mooresville plant, southwest of Indianapolis, including 220 added during an expansion announced in April 2014. That factory provides parts to a Subaru plant in Lafayette and a Toyota plant in Princeton. The Winchester plant could more than double the company's Indiana workforce, although it is not known how many jobs the company will retain from Marujun's workforce.
"There are certainly still some unknowns, such as how many of our people they'll be keeping on," Fields said. "We are hoping we don't have to proceed with layoffs of our hourly workers, though we've already laid off (some) of our salaried employees."
Despite the unknowns, Fields and others expressed relief in knowing there's a future for Marujun — even if it's under different ownership or has another name.
"The people here are hard workers and they've ... hung on throughout this whole process," he said. "It's good to know we're going to be around for the city of Winchester."
Greg Beumer, Indiana state representative for District 33, said he felt the deal was a long time coming.
"You never really know when things are going to pan out, you just have to be confident they will," he said. "I know Marujun had been talking to companies for quite some time, so it's nice that it's finally resolved."
Recently elected mayor Shon Byrum was ecstatic over the news, he said, noting that an "enormous weight had been lifted from the city's shoulders."
Byrum said he was informed of the news late Thursday and has since been looking forward to helping move the city forward.
"I'm very proud of the foundation that's been built here and this is a city full of opportunities for job creators," he said. "(TOA Industries) is a great example of a company that ... saw what it liked when it looked at Winchester."
Randolph County Economic Development Corp. executive director Bruce Hosier said in a Friday afternoon news release that he was encouraged by the development.
"While there is still much work to be done, we are encouraged by this agreement and look forward to ... building a better path forward for the people and communities we all (have) the privilege of serving," he said.
Efforts to reach TOA Industries for direct comment were unsuccessful through Friday afternoon.

If you experience a dental emergency listed above, or abnormal pain in your mouth, it is important to call and schedule an appointment with emergency dentist Dr. Jeff Bynum at Five Star Dental in Valrico, Florida as soon as possible.

It is a good idea to walk slowly around your cabin's exterior a few times a year, such as in the fall and spring, to assess your dwelling's condition. Look critically and carefully at areas where there might be an issue with water, like on end logs of the log cabin, chimney flashing, roof junctions, dormer connections, along with decks where logs meet, windows and doors.
It is best to perform maintenance on a regular basis, so make sure to mark your calendar.
This is part of every type of repair and maintenance routine, and log homes are no different. You should always go around the house and brush the cobwebs from the house first to avoid getting them wet, or they will be tough to remove from the logs.
Search for dark patches from where rain might have splattered let mildew or mold to grow. Deal with this by using a simple solution mixed at 4 gallons of water and 1 cup bleach and 1 cup TSP. Use a soft brush that has been wetted with the solution and gently scrub the area, then rinse it off with a hose and allow to dry for a few days before you re-stain. Never use straight bleach or 50-50 mixes. Too much bleach can break down the finish or make it impossible for a new stain to get a good chemical bond with the wood fiber on bare wood, thus eliminating the level of protection desired.
Ideally, the house should be given a light washing once a year (every three years minimum). Mix a solution of Log Wash purchased from Perma Chink per the label. Apply with a low pressure pump up garden sprayer or the low-pressure siphon nozzle with a power washer. Scrub the home with a soft brush and rinse with a high-pressure nozzle on the power washer. Stay back about 10 feet and just mist to rinse. Take care and DO NOT get too close so as not to damage the finish on the logs or drive water into them. By keeping the dust and pollen from settling on the tops of the logs will help prevent the finish from breaking down.
Start by looking for "checks". Sealing up the checks is not a good idea. What happens is that the home are always expanding and contracting and will pull away from the caulk allowing water to continue seeping into the check. Now that you have filled it, it will not dry out properly and can rot the log from the inside out.
The one caveat to this is if you have a check that you know is letting the wind, water or bugs to the interior of the cabins it will need to be repaired, and in this case, it can be filled. These are typically checks that run into a window, door or corner. Once filled you will have to inspect 2 or 3 times a year to make sure that it is still sealed properly so that rot does not start in that area. To fill, place a piece of Grip Strip backer in the check and allow room for about ¼" of caulk to be applied and seal the opening. We prefer using Energy Seal caulk products made by Perma-Chink on all the homes we perform maintenance on.
If you have other checks that are of a concern, as a simple restoration you can apply Shell Guard concentrate to repair the check. Place some in a long nose bottle like a ketchup bottle and squeeze enough into the check to the point that it is full but not running out. This only needs to be done once every 3-5 years.
Sealing should be part of your homes yearly maintenance and repair. For larger gaps, like the ones around the door bucks and windows, the best way to repair it is to fill the gap with closed cell foam, like Grip Strip, and caulk or chink over to seal. We have found is using expanding foam can cause rot over time where it touches wood. When you can feel cold air coming in around the windows and doors, fill in the triangle area with the Grip Strip and caulk/chink out flush with the trim board.
Prepare a spray bottle with water then to check your stain's condition, spray some water onto the logs. The stain is doing its job still if the water beads up and then runs down.
To renew your cabin's log stain, you will need to wash the homes exterior per the instructions above.
We have discovered that plant oil based stains (linseed, sunflower, safflower, etc.) don't appear to stand up to harsh weather conditions and direct sunlight or last as long as petroleum oil-based stains. Some of these stains never dry out properly and are sticky allowing dust and pollen to stick to them causing black mildew to start growing on your home. Some of these stains require maintenance every year.
Another downside to oil-based stains is that they do not allow the logs to breathe. Oil based stains can trap moisture under the stain and in some cases will start surface rot, requiring restoration or replacement.
We prefer the water based latex stains made for log homes. LifeLine, Capture or Nature's are all good quality latex stains made for log homes. They act almost like Gortex and allow micro moisture out and protect by not letting rain into the logs.
Every semi-transparent log home stain will require maintenance 3 to 5 years, oil or latex. The solid stains will need attention every 7-10 years, depending on your climate and exposure.
To avoid needing to make an expensive repair or restoration it is paramount with any house to control rain runoff and water flow. However, for log cabin maintenance it is of particular importance since logs can become damaged (rot) and darkened if they are exposed to too much water.
You should go out in a good rain a couple of times a year and inspect that your gutters are working properly. Downspouts attached to the logs that are leaking is one of the biggest causes of rot.
Dirty gutters that are not working properly will cause more damage than no gutters at all. This leads to costly home repairs, and can cause extensive timber damage.

COVID-19 is changing Human Mobility
Until this moment in time, those in the location intelligence industry mostly thought about how people move through spaces as we go to do things, and get things, as part of our daily, normal lives.
COVID-19 has quickly introduced a new normal: In the future, more people are going to stay in place, accomplish things remotely, and have goods and services brought to them. For developers, data scientists and investors whose work and money has largely focused on the old reality of human mobility, this should matter a great deal.
PropTechs, BuiltWorld techs and others that rely on location-based data and tools are created on the premise that it's the human beings moving thru space to get stuff, whereas the future looks like it will work the other way around.
That's a problem because you can't just reverse the polarity and make the data models work. It takes time and work cycles and specialized human resources and large amounts of investment -- all this at the exact moment the world faces a global pandemic and, so it seems, a global recession.
So what's the way forward? How can We - capital W - recover?
First, if you are in possession of a quality location data set, or model, or visualization tool, or the money to get something built, make it available to independent software developers right now. Is the future value of your proprietary data greater than its potential value to human kind in the coming months? No, it's not. OPEN SOURCE EVERYTHING.
Second, if you are an entrepreneur or investor in mid-launch on other projects, shift gears. Even if your product would be feasible in the new reality, would it be purposeful? BUILD SOMETHING FOR THE NEW REALITY OF HUMAN MOBILITY.
Finally, build bridges between the public and private sector, developer and data scientist, bean-counter and academic, regulator and CEO. Where some small thing like language, politics or professional aspiration kept us apart before, our shared human experience, awful as it is, must now bring us together.
The world is at a crossroads. People wait, isolating in-place, and trust the powers that be to guide us through to tomorrow and the next evolution in human mobility. Whatever the path ahead may be, let it be one We all build and walk together.

CNN is reporting that since her breathing tube has been removed, Bobbi Kristina Brown is being ventilated by a hole in her throat.
"This is an indication that the patient will need this for weeks and months to come, as opposed to hours and days," said CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
He said the move lowers the risk of infection and is standard procedure.
Brown, 21, remains in a medically induced coma at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. Doctors are attempting to slowly lift her coma, according to sources close to the family.
According to a USA Today report, Bobbi Kristina Brown's breathing tube has been removed. Her condition, however, is unchanged.
A source close to the situation told the publication that removing Brown from the ventilator does not necessarily mean a decision has been made to take her off of life support.
Brown has been hospitalized since Jan. 31 when her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, and a friend, found her unresponsive in a bathtub in her Georgia home.
This is a "normal" procedure, done after a certain amount of time to prevent infections, says the family source.
According to Dr. Jordan Josephson, an ENT specialist at Lennox Hill Hospital, the tracheotomy procedure is typically done when people are expected to be on a ventilator for more than a couple of days.
It is done to protect the vocal cords and to afford better access to keep the lungs clear of fluid.
"If the expectation is she's going to be on for weeks, months – who knows how long, the best way to deliver oxygen to the lungs is through the tracheostomy" (the hole left in the throat after the tracheotomy procedure is performed).


Wait for Rolando Price Drop?
Discussion in 'General Game Discussion and Questions' started by pinac0lada, Jan 17, 2009.
I'm waiting for this to come down in price as well (and Sim City). They always do.
This is the 3rd thread about Rolando price drops, and just buy it now.
Yeah! It's worth it! I hate it when people are cheap like this... Just makes it seem like the app store will never get something of quality because everyone wants really low prices.
If any game out there is worth 9.99, Rolando is definitely it. I'm sure it will go on sale at some point but if you really want it - $10 bucks for AAA game is not THAT much.
I know most look at it as "hmm one $10 game or ten $1 games", but that's exactly why developers are afraid of investing time and resources into games with higher production - they're afraid no one will buy it.
I do understand some of your concerns, such as buying a game for full price then finding out a few days later that it's on sale. 1.) I don't think it will go on sale for another month at least. 2.) If it does go on sale, it will be 7.99 or 6.99 lowest.
Just get it. it really is one of the best games out there. even if its not in the top 50. probably because of some people are waiting on the price drop. when it does, i predict it will be in the top 25. maybe even lower.
I don't think they are going to drop the price any time soon. It's their big title and it's worth the price. The point of all their other games was to advertise rolando. Just buy it...you won't be disapponted.
On another note...I think they know that if a game does not see a price drop soon after release that the people that hold off will eventually pay full price for it. It's not that the people holding off for a price drop don't see the value in the game, I think it's just that they don't want to feel like they were ripped off by a game droping price quickly after release.
I think it is the only game in the App Store that is worth $10. The developer has said numerous times that they do not intend to lower the price. (They left that option open with their previous games.) The fact that it has fallen out of the Top 50 doesn't mean as much as it would with other games. This game has TON going for it, and there's a good chance that because of its unique nature, Apple may continue to feature it in the App Store and maybe even a commercial.
Bottom line. Buy now. It's worth it.
It's not the fact that I think 10 bucks are too much for a quality game. In fact, I would have bought Rolando a long time ago if it wasn't for the fact that many devs tend to lower the price one or two months after release. Many times when I bought an app, the dev lowers the price a week later, making me feel really stupid... Now if ngmoco wouldn't change the price till, say, february, I'd happily take the plunge. But since we don't know what they are planning, I'm feeling very uncertain right now.
Yep. Seeing people complain about price drops in the app store reviews pisses me off for this reason.
i can sure buy this at full price, but as any other game that i'm not sure whether i'll enjoy it or not, i'd rather not pay 10$ for this.
sadly there is no 'lite' version of rolando (nor edge, which i wanted to try, but not willing to pay full price).
and again, it's not about money, it's about the uncertainty of really enjoying the game - seems cool, would be nice to have it on my iphone but, will i play it to make it worthwhile?
Seeing how NG:Moco are ex EA employees and the fact that they have stated time and time again that they think their game is worth 10 bucks. I would expect that rolando does not go down in price till 7 to 8 months after release.
The top app has to sell 10,000 copies a day to stay at number one. Most of the time the top 10 are apps priced at 99 cents bringing the developer $7k a day. For Rolando to make that same amount of money for the developer they would have to sell 1,000 copies a day. I have to assume that at number 78 on the app store they are selling around 1,000 copies a day, in turn making around $7k a day.
Now lets figure that the highest they have ever been on the charts was around 8 or 9 and they floated in the top 20 for two or three weeks. For arguments sake lets just put them firmly at number 15 for two weeks and lest say to stay at number 15 for two weeks you have to sell 5,000 units a day. In those two weeks they would have made $700,000 on one game in two weeks. I have to assume that pays for all the development costs plus more.
Now let's just say for arguments sake Rolando has made NG:Moco around 1.2 million since release. Now let's also add to that the fact that was two "micro games" put out before that for 99 cents to $2 each. Both of these games where in the top 50 for about a month. Let's just say that these two games brought in around $200,000 in their run. Now...these games were basically avenues to advertise Rolando. So we paid them around $200,000 to advertise to us and then we bought their game. I say these are "advertisement apps" because right before Rolando came out they got banner ads for Rolando and dropped either to free or to 99 cents. Now I will say that those games where good, So I don't mind the advertisement.
Let's also take into account how much they had to pay to develop/ have those games developed...so let's say it cost them $600,000 to develop all those games, from Topple to Rolando. They would have already made their money back. They know that you are only waiting to buy the game because you fear a price drop...so they aren't going to drop the price.
Part because they don't need to...and part because their mission is to become a "first party" type developer on the iPhone so they are trying to set and example.
Of course all those numbers are fictional assumptions...it could be more or it could be less. Either way...I think they are well off and have a whole new batch of "micro" or "advertisement" apps coming down the pike which will lead up to another premium release completely another circle like the MazeFinger/Topple -> Rolando circle. I would expect to see Rolando go down in price as part of an advertising play for the next "Major release" which will probably come in the next 4-5 months. At that time I wouldn't be surprised to see a banner ad in the rolando main menu advertising the new heavy hitter $9.99 title.
If they hadn't dropped the price of the previous 2 games (Dr Awesome and Dropship) 5 DAYS after their release I would have bought this already, but I felt burned (on principle, it was only 99 cents I know) by how fast they dropped the price on the previous 2 games I purchased.

Nokia posts a profit at the end of 2012, helped by sales of more than four million Lumia phones
By Andy Boxall January 24, 2013
Apple isn't the only one chatting about its financial performance for the final three months of 2012, as Nokia has also announced its official figures. No records have been broken, but the news is very positive for a company which has seen more than its fair share of negative numbers over the past year.
Nokia has reported net sales of 8.04 billion euros ($10.7 billion) with an operating profit of 439 million euros ($584 million), a considerable improvement over the previous quarter results, when the firm saw a shocking 576 million euro ($754 million) profit loss from net sales of 7.2 billion euros ($9.5 billion).
Over the same period, Nokia shifted 4.4 million Lumia smartphones, 9.3 million Asha phones – Nokia points out this figure is for the full touch handsets such as the Asha 311, 308 and 309 – plus 2.2 million Symbian phones too. Looking at the chart related to Nokia's geographic sales performance, we can see North America has taken a big step forward over the third quarter of 2012, with sales increasing by 133-percent to 700,000 units. This time last year, Nokia sold 500,000 handsets in North America.
In Europe, 19.4 million phones were sent out the door, a 15-percent increase over the third quarter of 2012, but down 23-percent on last year. While these are good results, Nokia has suffered in China, where it's down 21-percent over the previous quarter and a more worrying 69-percent down on this time in 2011. In a statement, Nokia indicates lower volumes of Symbian and basic feature phones were to blame.
A return to profit at the end of 2012 is good news for Nokia, and if it comes up with some exciting new products during MWC next month – a Windows RT tablet, or even new Windows Phone handsets perhaps – it could be on its way to an equally positive start to 2013.

Plan launched 2014-2018
Objectives/Aims
1. Participation of women in decision making processes: more political representation on a local and national level, in all reconciliation committees and peace-building negotiations.
2. Protection, Security and Prevention: for violence against women, including sexualised and gender-based violence. Improve the living conditions of women and ensure their rights and services and access to them.
3. Promotion of women's rights: Integration of UNSCR1325 on a national level. Creating dialogue between a range of actors and sectors, including ministries and industries and women's rights organisations who are dedicated to putting an end to discrimination of women.
4. Social and economic empowerment: Women in Iraq should have better economic conditions and become more independent. The NAP "will enable the revision and actualization of the support policy to these most vulnerable segments of the society."
5. Legislation and law enforcement: Harmonization of national legislation with international standards and mechanisms for women's rights, including UNSCR1325, annulling articles which violate women rights and promulgating/enacting legislation that protects and promotes them.
Iraq has suffered the consequences of long periods of instability and conflict. For women this has meant implications such as a lack of access to their fundamental rights,
Several constitutional and legal provisions have been included to promote more political participation as well as actions against violence.
The two governments (Iraq and Kurdistan) will cooperate with the women's rights civil society organisations for the benefit of all women, in contributing to the regional stability and promote peace and justice.
Women in Peacekeeping
There is no mention of recruiting women into the army, but on political representation. The plan refers to the deteriorating rate at which women are participating in all levels of conflict resolution in Iraq where previously they were making progress: "Women have participated very keenly in the political movement towards democracy building and strengthening, in both the private and public sector, ever since its beginning in 2003", They have since been facing challenges from males ' who still question the right of women to equal access to leadership positions': "Indicators of women's participation in leadership positions started going down day after day, reflecting the fragility of the democratic process and the extent of its efficiency: women occupied 6 ministerial portfolios out of 36 in the first transitional government, with none of them occupying one of the four sovereign positions. Women's representation was 11% in the Council of Ministers and 32% in the National Assembly, and when the Constitutional Committee was formed, only 9 out of 55 members were women."

Das Kugelstoßen der Männer bei den Leichtathletik-Weltmeisterschaften 2009 wurde am 15. August 2009 im Olympiastadion der deutschen Hauptstadt Berlin ausgetragen.

Weltmeister wurde der US-amerikanische Olympiazweite von 2008 Christian Cantwell. Er gewann vor dem aktuellen Olympiasieger Tomasz Majewski aus Polen. Bronze ging an den amtierenden Europameister und EM-Dritten von 2002 Ralf Bartels aus Deutschland.

Bestehende Rekorde

Der bereits seit 1987 bestehende WM-Rekord wurde bei diesen Weltmeisterschaften nicht erreicht. Allerdings fehlten dem US-amerikanischen Weltmeister Christian Cantwell im Finale mit seinem Siegesstoß nur zwanzig Zentimeter.

Weltmeister Christian Cantwell stellte im Finale mit 22,03 m eine neue Weltjahresbestleistung auf.

Doping
In diesem Wettbewerb wurden zwei belarussische Dopingbetrüger disqualifiziert:
 Pawel Lyschyn, zunächst Sechster, wurde 2016 bei Nachtests die Verwendung von Turinabol während der Olympischen Spiele 2008 nachgewiesen. Mehrere seiner Resultate wurden ihm aberkannt, darunter das Resultat von diesen Weltmeisterschaften.
 Andrej Michnewitsch, der ursprünglich den siebten Platz belegt hatte, wurde als Mehrfachtäter vom 26. Dezember 2012 an lebenslang gesperrt. Alle seine Ergebnisse beginnend mit den Weltmeisterschaften 2005 wurden gestrichen.

Leidtragende waren hier in erster Linie vier Athleten:
 Zwei Kugelstoßern, die am Ende unter den besten Acht platziert waren, hätten im Finale drei weitere Versuche zugestanden:
 Hamza Alić, Bosnien und Herzegowina
 Pawel Sofjin, Russland
 Zwei Wettbewerber hätten am Finale teilnehmen können, da sie nach der Qualifikation unter den besten Zwölf platziert waren:
 Sultan Abdulmajeed al-Habashi, Saudi-Arabien
 Justin Anlezark, Australien

Though it's been five years since Sarah Brightman has released a studio album — 2013's Classical chart-topper Dreamchaser — the world's best-selling soprano has hardly been idle. Not only did Brightman perform over 100 concerts on five continents to support Dreamchaser, she also brought her Gala — An Evening with Sarah Brightman tour to Asia and Mexico in 2016 and the 22-date Royal Christmas Gala tour to Europe in 2017. For both, she performed songs from her most-beloved albums — Timeless, Eden, and La Luna, and the multi-platinum soundtrack to Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera, which celebrated its 30th anniversary on Broadway in 2018. Webber was inspired to write the role of Christine Daaé for Brightman — who was already well-known after releasing several hit singles as a solo artist — upon seeing her standout performance as Jemima in the original London cast of Cats. After great success on the musical stage, Brightman decided to make a fresh start and resume her solo recording career with German composer and producer Frank Peterson, with whom she went on to make Dive (1993), Fly (1995), Timeless (Time To Say Goodbye) (1997), Eden (1998), La Luna (2000), Harem (2003), Symphony, and A Winter Symphony (both 2008).
