Experienced U.S. Virgin Islands-Puerto Rican Walter Hodge (183-PG-86) had a great game in the last round for league's second-best Homentmen and that's him to receive a Interperformances Player of the Week award for round 19.
The 32-year old playmaker had the game-high 50 points adding two rebounds and nine assists for Homentmen in his team's victory, helping them to beat Al Riyadi (12-4) 112-97. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Homentmen is placed at 2nd position in Lebanese LBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Homentmen will need more victories to improve their 12-4 record. In the team's last game Hodge had a remarkable 77.3% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He turned to be Homentmen's top player in his first season with the team. University of Florida graduate has very impressive stats this year. Hodge is in league's top in points (4th best: 22.2ppg), assists (2nd best: 6.6apg) and averages solid 56.2% FGP.
The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 39-year old former international forward Fadi El Khatib (198-F-79) of league's best team Champville. El Khatib impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 31 points and 13 rebounds. Of course Champville cruised to a 80-68 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Atlas F. (#8, 4-12). Of course Champville still keep the league's top spot. His team lost just three games this season, while they won 13 matches. El Khatib is well-known by Champville fans and he already established his position as one of team's most reliable players.
The third best performed player last round was Canadian Keanau Post (211-C/F-92, agency: Slash Sports) of Sagesse (#9). Post scored 14 points and grabbed twelve rebounds (!!!). He was a key player of Sagesse, leading his team to a 90-76 easy win against the higher-ranked Byblos (#5, 6-10). Sagesse can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have extremely bad season and 2-14 record places them at the very bottom of the standings. Too bad for Post he does not play for a better team. But maybe if he did, his season stats would not be that high. Post has individually a great season in Lebanon. After 15 games, he made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 10.1rpg (4th best). He also has 2.0bpg and FGP: 53.4%.

2020 Mazda CX-30 Likely To Offer Only 2.5L Engine In North America
2020 Mazda Cx - 30 Likely To Offer Only 2.5l Engine In North America
While in Europe the Mazda CX-30 will offer three powertrain choices, including the revolutionary SkyActiv-X 2.0, North American customers will have to settle for only one engine – at least at launch.
Mazda announced that the CX-30 will launch in Mexico in November with the SkyActiv-G 2.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine rated at 187 HP (189 PS) and 186 lb-ft (252 Nm) of torque.
Since the 2020 Mazda CX-30 will be exported to the United States and Canada from the Salamanca plant in Mexico, it's highly likely that the 2.5-liter engine will be offered in these markets as well. Also supporting this theory is the fact that the 2020 Mazda3 sedan, which is built at the same plant in the Latin American country, only offers a 2.5-liter engine in North America.
Also read: Mazda CX-30 vs. CX-3 vs. CX-5: Which One Is Your Favorite?
In Mexico, the CX-30 will offer two trim levels at launch, the i Sport 2WD and i Grand Touring 2WD. Interestingly, there will be no available AWD model when the all-new 2020 Mazda CX-30 arrives in Mexican dealerships next month.
This is typical of the Mexican market, where the CX-3 and CX-5 are also offered exclusively with front-wheel-drive; only the CX-9 offers an AWD option there. However, in the U.S. and Canada the CX-30 is expected to offer all-wheel drive from launch.
The base Mazda CX-30 offers a generous standard equipment in Mexico, including seven airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, cruise control, rear parking sensors, tire pressure monitoring, and dynamic stability control.
Also standard are 18-inch alloys, a sunroof, eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. Prices start from 424,900 pesos (approximately $21,750), according to Autonews Mexico.

ANKARA: Dink Murder Trial Takes New Turn As Court To Focus On 'Crimi
Thread: ANKARA: Dink Murder Trial Takes New Turn As Court To Focus On 'Crimi
Babajanian Karo
DINK MURDER TRIAL TAKES NEW TURN AS COURT TO FOCUS ON 'CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION' CLAIMS
Hurriyet Daily News, Turkey
The trial into the murder of the Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink
has taken a significant turn after the court in Istanbul overseeing
the case announced that it will focus on the "criminal organization"
allegations against suspects, a move that lawyers representing the
victim's family had demanded since the start of the retrial.
Istanbul's 5th High Criminal Court ruled on Oct. 30 in line with
a previous Supreme Court of Appeals decision that overturned the
verdict of the initial trial process, on the grounds that it overlooked
investigating the murder of the renowned editor-in-chief of the weekly
Agos in the context of a planned and organized crime.
According to the decision, the suspects will be retried on charges
of being a member of a criminal organization.
The Supreme Court of Appeals had also overturned the acquittals
of top suspects including Yasin Hayal, who was charged with being
the instigator of the assassination and the "leader of a terrorist
organization." Hayal and other suspects, such as Erhan Tuncel and
Ersin Yolcu, are also being retried.
The triggerman Ogun Samast, who was sentenced to 22 years by a
children's court, is also likely to be tried on new charges, as the
court ruled to associate his case with the main murder trial. Samast
was only 17-years-old when he shot Dink in front of his office in
Istanbul on Jan. 19, 2007.
However, lawyers have also been wary of the Supreme Court verdict,
as it defined the aim of the murder as a "political act," rather
than an act of terrorism, as they have claimed that an armed terror
organization was behind the killing. For a murder to be considered a
"terrorist act," it would have to be committed with a clear aim against
the state of the public order, according to the Turkish Penal Code.
Lawyers previously said they would try to prove that the activities
of the organization went beyond the assassination of Dink.
The ruling comes only a few days after the Justice Ministry cleared
the path for investigations into nine civil servants, including senior
police officers occupying key posts at the time of the murder, such
as the former Istanbul police chief Celalettin Cerrah. The officers
had been accused of negligence and threatening Dink before his death.
The Friends of Hrant Dink Association hailed the decision in a
statement issued in front of the Istanbul courthouse Oct. 30, while
demanding that the civil servants be charged with "murder."
Dink's lawyers have long been demanded that the investigation should
focus on the "real web of connections" that led to Dink's murder,
while expressing few expectations from the retrial.
The matter was even subject to a review by Turkey's Constitutional
Court, which ruled that the case had not been efficiently investigated
and the rights of Dink's family were violated.

The resource is mainly of interest to the increasing amounts of IMS QTI developers, but is intended to benefit the development of the spec itself as well.
Niall's guide does this by providing a convenient way of looking up the various QTI 1.2 elements, and see what they are supposed to do according to the IMS Best Practices guideline. The same goes for the response types that the spec provides.
To further enhance best practice, each element and response type has a discussion area were a common interpretation of the element or response type can be reached. The more people participate, therefore, the better the interoperability between different implementations will become.
Lastly, the process of reaching a consensus could very well uncover issues with the current version of QTI that can be addressed in the next version.
You need to register to make use of the discussion facilities, but the online QTI documentation resource can be browsed without it.

A Cocktail & Conversation With TB&TB Crew -- Bookish Accessories?
Jana asks: What's your favorite bookish accessory? Is it a particular tote bag, piece of jewelry, book light, etc.?
Jane actually creeps the hell out of me, but Edgar isn't so bad. Couldn't find a picture of him though.
Jamie says: This necklace that my friend Jen got me -- it's a quote from John Green's Looking For Alaska! It says "When I look at my room I see a girl who loves books."
Paula says: My favorite accessory is necklaces. I am a necklace fiend. So my favorite book related accessory is also necklaces.
So I have the Hogwarts seal, the Deathly Hallows, Hansel and Gretel, and Brave New World (my hands down favorite book). I also have a pair of "I <3 Neil Gaiman" earrings. And comic book shoes that I made (and shared here before). In the future I am planning on making a book clutch so if you ask me again in a few months I might have a different answer :D Oh gosh I have so many book related things that I love that I could list here actually... I'll spare you though!
What about you guys? What are YOUR favorite bookish accessories? Tell us...and maybe link us so um maybe we can do a little shopping??
I have a couple of book earrings that I received a few years ago that I love, so guess those would be my current faves!
I love that John Green quote ;) I have tons of bookish tote bags, I'm not sure if those count as accessories?
I really like the pillow. I want author pillows too!
Mine is my I Capture the Castle canvas bag from the Literary Gift Company. It has the first line written across is, and I Capture The Castle is my favourite book ever. It fits everything in and is super strong so easily filled with books.

When we're thinking about ribs, our mouths immediately start to water as our taste buds recall the deliciously sweet, juicy meat that falls off the bone. Ribs are a type of cut frequently associated to picnics where the grill is often fired up. The most commonly bought cuts are short ribs and spare ribs. Continue reading this article so you'll know the difference between the two and see which one is best for your next get-together.
Short ribs are beef ribs that come from the cattle's plate cut or the short plate. This is the forequarter cut that comes from the cow's belly. Short ribs include bones which are nearly straight and have around two inches of meat at the top.
Spare ribs are pork ribs, also popularly known as baby back ribs. This part is from the pig's belly side of the rib cage, just above the sternum. Spare ribs usually have around eleven to thirteen long bones, with meat on top and in between the bones.
The main difference between short ribs and spare ribs is that short ribs are beef meat and spare ribs are pork meat. Short ribs are ribs that are taken from the cow's plate cut, while spare ribs are taken from the pig's rib section, near the breastbone. The two major cuts of the short ribs are usually called the flanken and the English, whereas spare ribs are also popularly known as baby back ribs.
In terms of cooking, short ribs are often braised. If one opts to grill short ribs, braising the meat is essential prior to grilling. Conversely, spare ribs are more versatile. They can be roasted, grilled, or braised. Both short ribs and spare ribs are a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, they also vary in terms of fat content.
Short ribs may be the better option for those watching their weight as they contain slightly less saturated fat per serving at 5.5 grams. Spare ribs, on the other hand, have slightly higher saturated fat content per serving at 6.9 grams. However, both cuts are not considered lean and must still be enjoyed in moderation.


In a state wide check for quality fruits and vegetables, 22 teams of District Mandi Officers checked the main fruit and vegetable markets of the State. Nearly 9000 tonnes of fruits and vegetables that arrived on Friday in the mandis were checked. No case what so ever of Artificial Ripening was found in any of the mandis, informed KS Pannu, Director, Tandrust Punjab Mission.The Mission started about three months ago on June 5 and aiming to purge the State of all sub-standard food articles a campaign was launched to check artificial ripening of fruits. The fruits ripened with Calcium Carbide are known to be carcinogenic. A series of surprise checks coupled with awareness seminars and training sessions on ethical ripening were held. The efforts of Team Tandrust Punjab Mission bore a sweet fruit and finally the Mandis of State of Punjab are free of calcium carbide.
Crediting, the achievement to the vision and support of Chief Minister Punjab, Captain Amarinder Singh, he said that it was only due to Chief Minister's desire to overhaul health and environment scenario that the Mission was conceptualised and today 'we can proudly claim that our fruits are free of calcium carbide'.Giving further details of the raids, Mr. Pannu said that about 10 tonnes of rotten fruits and vegetables, unfit for human consumption were found and were destroyed on the spot. Mainly the stock in Samana, Patran and Gurdaspur mandis was overripe. 50 kg banana and 75 crates of apples amounting to 1100 quintals in Samana Mandi , 751kg apples,145 kg lemons and 706 kg tomatoes in Patran Mandi and 1500 kg fruits and 2000 kg vegetables in Gurdaspur mandi were not fit for human consumption.

E-learning courses on infant, young child feeding launched

HÀ NỘI – The first e-learning courses on infant and young child feeding in Việt Nam were launched at a ceremony in Hà Nội on July 31 on the occasion of the 2017 World Breastfeeding Week (August 1 to 7).
The programme is a collaboration programme between Alive & Thrive (A&T), National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), and E-learning Division, Information Network Centre of the Hà Nội University of Science and Technology.
Based on the health ministry's Training Manual on Infant and Young Child Feeding, 20 electronic lessons on knowledge and counselling skills for infant and young child feeding have been developed with detailed lectures, illustrations and reference materials to disseminate fundamental knowledge on nutrition, and infant and young child feeding to all kinds of learners.
The course also aims to train and provide certificates on infant and young child feeding counselling for learners who study and work in the health sector nationwide. This e-learning system will allow leaners to complete the courses flexibly and proactively.
Under the A&T project course of 2010–2014, more than 1,000 Little Sun clinics were integrated into the public health system to provide infant and young child feeding counselling services. Each of these facilities needed at least two counsellors to be trained and certificated by the National Institute of Nutrition, especially for interpersonal counselling skills. However, after the project phased out, the training was temporarily stopped due to limited funding at localities.
"To ensure the operation of Little Sun clinics and the consultation ability of healthcare facilities about nutrition content in the country, a training programme with uniform content on infant and young child feeding is needed nationwide," NIN Vice director Trương Tuyết Mai said at the ceremony.
"Online training courses on infant and young child feeding will meet the demand of majority of the learners, including doctors, health workers and mothers. It will help save time and expenses for learners and on supervision from teachers," said Mai.
To know more about the e-learning course or to take the courses, learners may visit elearning.mattroibetho.vn or facebook.com/mattroibetho or download mobile app Nuôi dưỡng trẻ nhỏ E-learning. — VNS

With the much-hyped "media summit" taking place in Canberra tonight, the most likely outcome – if you look closely at the numbers – appears to be that the 'reach rule' could be removed.
As media bosses descend on parliament house in a concerted effort to push for media reform, it's possible that the 'two out of three rule' could disappear – it doesn't have full support from independents, Labor or the Greens; the latter of which are attempting to "split" the proposed changes.
If the media laws were to change, will a sudden rush of deals take place between the big media companies?
There has been much speculation that Seven, with a market cap of about $1 billion, may acquire HTE (formally APN) – a radio and outdoor business valued at about $760 million.
Seven are said to be keen on HTE-owned radio assets, ARN. It's not clear of their interest, if any, in their outdoor assets.
A deal like this could allow a newly merged group to sell television, radio and outdoor as one package, as well as other potential synergies, including digital.
Another rumoured merger is between Nine, valued at about $900 million, and Southern Cross Austereo, worth about $1 billion.
It appears Nine may be courting two suitors; SCA and Fairfax. Although as Nine have stated, they are not interested in newspapers but are interested in radio.
Fairfax is a majority shareholder in the Macquarie Radio Network, which includes 3AW and 2GB; this would give Nine a healthy and strategic mix of television and radio assets.
The other player in all this, and undeniably the most notable, is Lachlan and the Murdoch family. Lachlan already owns the NOVA Entertainment radio company, and Murdoch's News Corp owns a share of Ten and Foxtel.
They already have a tie up and pseudo control via MCN, which sells advertising on both Foxtel and Ten. News also owns newspapers including The Australian, The Daily Telegraph and The Herald Sun, giving News a compelling mix of newspapers, radio and television.
First, though, the laws have to be changed. If that happens – and it is still an "if" – the much talked about mergers may not proceed anyway.
While it's an attractive proposition to build scale, there are questions on wether real synergies can be extracted. Owners, CEO's and their boards have to agree on the value and have to want to do a deal.
Will these potential mergers be good for listeners, viewers and readers? Could they be good for shareholders over the longer term? How will they affect employees?
One thing is for certain: If the laws don't change now, they likely will in the future. It's just a matter of when.
The world has changed and will change even further with the continued growth of international media companies like Facebook and Google.
Australian media operators are arguing for a more even playing field. That seems fair, although part of their problem is that they are laden down with so much debt.
While revenues (and profits) have declined at some companies, revenues and profits have risen for others.
Looking at the debt levels, SCA has the biggest debt at around $340 million, Nine about $170 million, Fairfax about $180 million and APN about $160 million.
Then there is the Network Ten with a $200 million loan facility through the Commonwealth Bank – backed by Lachlan Murdoch, James Packer and Bruce Gordon – which falls due 23 December.
Those levels of debt don't help the companies' financial performance. And there may be some correlation with those debt levels and which companies are pushing hardest, and talking up media law reform.
If the laws do change, one thing is almost certain: The Turnbull Liberal Government will almost certainly return to power at the next federal election.
Delivering the much sought after media law changes to current media operators would surely ensure favourable coverage, you would have thought?
It is fascinating to watch this.
Traditional media companies, wanting/needing to merge with other traditional media companies… so that they can become even bigger traditional media companies. Does nobody understand the problem here?
You say the world has changed – and you're right, but you only have to look at some of the business brains (cough) running these companies to understand why they are in such a mess, and laden with bad debt in the first place.
You can be rest assured that any change in legislation or policy is not going to deliver more jobs. And to assume that traditional media can still influence an election… well we have learnt that lesson the hard way.
The trip to Canberra is a bunch of hacks crying poor, trying to preserve the old model – when really they should be focused on building a new one.
Won't get passed so no issue.

Q: create template for one page I want to create a one page template here and this is the content of page-contactWohnsinn.php:
hello world
So the php file only contains hello world and is stored in ...wp-content/themes/mytheme
I also created a page in the database with name contactWohnsinn
The page is visible on the link, but not the hello w.
Is it clear? Of course I did the mapping php-file-name and page-name.
Why is "hello world" not spread to the world?

A: Edit your "page-contactWohnsinn.php" file,
And add this code to top of the file,
<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Contact Wohnsinn
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */
?>

and go to you page that you created in wp-admin,
choose the template "Contact Wohnsinn" from right side options...
and you are done..

Although people are aware that diet affects one's physical health and deficiency of the key nutrients negatively impacts physical indices, such as weight, body mass index (BMI), heartbeat rate, bone density, etc., there only few who are aware of the connection between nutrition and mental health.
Since mental disorders have been invariably associated with emotions and other biochemical changes in the brain, there has been less emphasis on understanding the role of nutrition in safeguarding mental health. Some of the key factors, such as poor appetite, skipping meals and cravings for sweet food, can play havoc on one's mental health.
Most adults need seven or more hours of sleep and those who claim to get on with fewer hours of sleep are only deceiving themselves. One may not get enough sleep because of a range of reasons, such as the prevalence of a mental disorder, working overnight or on a rotating shift, unemployment or stress at a job, traveling between different time zones, etc.
Maternal depression has been associated with serious risks for the development of a child's emotional and mental health. Featuring prominently in the list of the most common mental health disorders, depression is highly prevalent among women of childbearing age. In fact, it is recognized as a devastating public health concern that not only affects mothers but also children.

Q: Qunit: TypeError: undefined is not a function These are the tests I've written so far. This first assertion passes. For the second I get the error: TypeError: undefined is not a function.
/*global describe, it, assert */
App.rootElement = '#emberTestingDiv';

App.setupForTesting();
App.injectTestHelpers();

module('Integration Tests', {
  setup: function() {
    App.reset();
  }
});

// Tests

test('search terms?', function() {
  App.mainSearcher.params.q = 'our keywords';
  equal(App.mainSearcher.params.q, 'our keywords');
});

test('router?', function() {
  visit('/search?q=method&sort=patAssignorEarliestExDate%20desc');
  andThen(function(){
    equal(find('title').text(), 'method');
  });
});

I'm not sure why I'm getting that. I'm using grunt-contrib-qunit so I'm curious if I did something wrong with setting qunit up with the Ember app via grunt/npm.
But I don't think that's it because the first test is passing.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Edit:
Here's the full error
Died on test #1 at file:///Users/jwhite/Documents/workspace/uspto-aotw/front-end/test/spec/test.js:21:1: undefined is not a function
Source: TypeError: undefined is not a function

Line 21 is the first line for the second test:
test('router?', function() {

A: My guess? Something in the first test run "unsets" the global test variable/method. My recommendation is instead to use the fully qualified version of the QUnit API:
/*global describe, it, assert */
App.rootElement = '#emberTestingDiv';

App.setupForTesting();
App.injectTestHelpers();

QUnit.module('Integration Tests', {   // qualified
  setup: function() {
    App.reset();
  }
});

// Tests

QUnit.test('search terms?', function(assert) {   // qualified (with `assert` arg)
  App.mainSearcher.params.q = 'our keywords';
  assert.equal(App.mainSearcher.params.q, 'our keywords');  // qualified
});

QUnit.test('router?', function(assert) {   // qualified (with `assert` arg)
  visit('/search?q=method&sort=patAssignorEarliestExDate%20desc');
  andThen(function(){
    assert.equal(find('title').text(), 'method');   // qualified
  });
});

If that works, then my assumption is correct, but I have no idea how that could happen in your first test run since it doesn't really do anything. I suppose it could be something in App.reset(), but then why is test() defined the first time?
In any case... try the qualified method calls first, could be a quick fix.

Jimmy is a graduate of Birmingham City University's Legal Practice Course. Having been a student barrister of The Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn, he subsequently worked for Local Government Legal Services, Wragge & Co LLP, Newsome Vaughan LLP and Anthony Collins LLP. He is a solicitor advocate, appearing for clients in the High Court, and recently represented a client in the Court of Appeal (Civil Division).
In July 2008, he founded Mayflower Solicitors, a specialist employment and commercial law practice. He works with a broad and diverse client base including a number of not-for-profit organisations and small businesses. The firm undertakes pro bono (free) legal work for those who cannot afford to pay and who cannot obtain legal aid, especially in the fields of employment law, discrimination, housing and debt. Jimmy has also appeared on BBC radio, commentating on legal matters.
Jimmy is actively engaged in supporting the School of Law at Birmingham City University, encouraging and enthusing the next generation of students by providing input to the Faculty Advisory Board and the LPC Course Practitioner Liaison Committee, and by offering placements to current Legal Practice Course students.
Jimmy said: "The legal profession is changing very quickly at the moment and because we're small and adaptable, we're perhaps better-placed to react to this. We will continue to look at how we can give clients what they need and plan to open an office in London soon. My lawyers are given responsibility from a very early stage, and only last year I took on two law graduates and I hope both will go on to get training contracts and complete their LPCs in due course.
"I am truly humbled to have been nominated as one of Birmingham City University's Alumni of the Year, it is completely unexpected. The work I have done with the university is simply because I feel that it is right for me to give something back. I have been blessed with the education that I have received to date and it is only right that I share this and provide opportunities for others to access."

La 23a edició del Festival Internacional de Cinema de Sant Sebastià va tenir lloc entre el 13 i el 24 de setembre de 1975. En aquesta edició continuava tenint la categoria A de la FIAPF, és a dir, festival competitiu no especialitzat.

Desenvolupament
El començament del festival fou una mica accidentat. El que havia de ser president del jurat i objecte de retrospectiva, Henri-Georges Clouzot, no es va poder presentar i fou substituït per Antonio Isasi Isasmendi. El crític italià Claudio Bertieri també va renunciar a formar part del jurat. El festival es va inaugurar el 13 de setembre amb la presència del ministre d'informació León Herrera Esteban, el director general de cinematografia Rogelio Díez Alonso, l'alcalde Francisco Lasa Echarri i el president del festival Miguel Echarri amb una exposició de Press books de Luis Gómez Mesa i la projecció fora de concurs d' El Padrí II de Francis Ford Coppola, amb la presència de Mònica Randall, Valerie Perrine i Lee Strasberg. El dia 15 es van projectar la britànica Conduct Unbecoming i la soviètica (rodada en letó) Pūt, vējiņi. El dia 16 es van projectar Furtivos i Noc oranžových ohňů. El dia 17 es van projectar Una dona ofuscada i La guerra del cerdo, alhora que es produïen dues desercions més entre els membres del jurat (Miklós Jancsó i Pedro Olea). El dia 18 es van projectar Fatti di gente perbene i Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum, que fou molt ben acollida per la crítica (tot i que finalment no va obtenir premi). El dia 19 foren projectades Pim, pam, pum... ¡fuego!, que va decebre els crítics, i la polonesa Moja wojna, moja miłość i el dia 20 Tarda negra i L'Histoire d'Adèle H., que fou presentada per la seva aleshores jove protagonista, Isabelle Adjani. El dia 21 foren projectades Bekötöt szemmel, Rainha Diaba i Una anglesa romàntica, el 22 Leonor i Der Richter und sein Henker i el 23 Tauró i Per què s'assassina un magistrat?. El 24 es van projectar Los cachorros i L'Agression Després es va projectar fora de concurs Això és l'espectacle i es va fer públic el veredicte del jurat, no mancat de polèmica. A l'entrega dels premis va assistir l'actriu italiana Gina Lollobrigida.

History: John Brush, gunsmith and Publick Armorer, responsible for the city Magazine, built the original structure around 1717. Thomas Everard, clerk of York County, owned the house between 1755 and 1781 and may have added the back extensions.
Structure: This house probably started as a story and one-half, one-room deep house with a central entrance and hallway and a staircase in the hallway. A room was later added behind each front room, giving the house a sort of "U" shape.
Chimneys: The house has two interior chimneys that were built on the back wall of each room of the original structure. After the expansion, each chimney then provided fireplaces for the front and back rooms.

Introduction / Location
Bled – the romantic Alpine soul tucked away amidst picturesque mountains – holds an ancient treasure: an island in the middle of an Alpine lake. Its charm has made it a symbol for centuries and to guests from all over the world love to return. On the island in the middle of the lake, the ancient Slavs worshipped Živa, goddess of love and fertility. Pilgrims later came to the church of St Mary on the island. A thousand years ago, on 10 April 1004, the town of Bled was mentioned for the first time.
At that distant time, a Roman tower already stood at the top of the cliff rising 100 m vertically above the lake, and it still forms part of the mighty castle that now houses a museum collection. The town flourished in the Middle Ages due to pilgrims, and these were replaced in the 19th century by the first tourists. The Swiss hydropathist, Arnold Rikli, discovered that the gentle climate and the lake and thermal waters are a source of good health and well-being. The local people supplemented the health spa offer with guest houses and hotels.
The town, already famous at the beginning of the 20th century as the most beautiful health spa of the then Austrian empire, attracted the European aristocratic elite. After WWII, one of the most attractive state residences of the former regime was located in Bled. Many of the world's most important people thus enjoyed the beauties of Bled. And now, for decades already, pilgrims of a new age have been discovering this town.
Cosmopolitan seekers of diversity and beauty, of relaxation and inspiration, tranquillity and the challenges of sport will find here a multitude of opportunities. Walking and coaching trails around the lake, traditional boats, ringing the island's wishing bell, the castle treasures, the nearby ski pistes, mountain trails, golf courses, hunting, fishing, the casino, congress facilities – all these are but fragments of Bled's attraction. And those who experience it, long for it again and again….
This is why we propose Bled for a location of the council meeting.
The Council meeting will precede the 8th ECM. We will welcome the guest in the early hours on 4 July 2020. After lunch, the meeting will commence in the Hotel Kompas Bled. Meeting facilities will be available for 4 and 5 July, while a full board will be organized at the hotel for all meeting participants.
The next day, on 5th July 2020, a coach will be organized for participants to escort them to Portorož, where the congress will be held.
We expect 70 guests to attend the council meeting.
The meeting venue
The meeting will be organized in Hotel Kompas Bled, which is distinguished by its broad offer of meeting rooms and business services. There are five halls in the hotel, which can suit many various business meetings and the organizing committee believes the Council Meeting will fit nicely into the area.
All of the hotel's function rooms have natural daylight and are air-conditioned. Modern technical equipment supported by on-site technicians enables smooth running of meetings. If needed, the hotel offers several facilities, which can be used for mini-meetings if the discussions will be split into smaller groups.
The congress venue offers opportunities for almost all kinds of activities. The Piran and Portorož promenades are ideal for walking or jogging, while the warm sea is inviting for swimmers, paddlers, and anyone who wants to relax or play in the sea.
A marina with sail boats is situated in the adjoining town Lucija, guaranteeing a good starting point for sailing in the Adriatic.
The Istrian hinterlands offer plenty of opportunities for cycling (on or off road), and the area is connected to a cycling path running along the old railway line from Trieste to Pula, the Parenzana.
SUPing has become increasingly popular in the area, as the calm sea offers ideal conditions, while windier days attract kite surfers, wind surfers and other sport enthusiasts.
Cycling, roller skating, longboarding and skateboarding are often just a mode of transportation for people living on the Slovene coastline.
All participants and accompanying persons will be able to enjoy nearby attractions. Organised excursions will take them to destinations such as:
A Day trip to by sea on a catamaran to one of the Adriatic's best known destinations, where you can stroll along the canals of and experience a part of Mediterranean history.
Postojna cave
This natural cave extends over 24 km; the tour starts with a train and is followed by a spectacular walk among the stalagmites and stalactites to the great hall.
Lipica stud farm
The birthplace of the gracious white Lipizzan horse
Sečovlje salt-pans
Here the past and the present still go together hand in hand. It is one of the few places where salt is still harvested manually following centuries-long traditions, while the park offers a perfect sanctuary for migrating birds
The beloved capital of Slovenia, which even contains love in its name. The city of dragons, castles, baroque buildings and vibrant city-life with a river flowing through the centre, along which the cafés and restaurants invite you to take a break and enjoy the moment.
Other destinations include the Karst region with its dry stony land, the Socˇa, the Emerald Queen of the Alps, Pula, a coastal Roman town, and many more attraction all lie within easy reach from the congress venue.

Yorkshire community searching for teenager two years after dissapearance
Government told to 'end the cycle of broken promises' on transport for Yorkshire and deliver HS2 and upgrades
West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) has called on the Government to "break the cycle of broken promises" to the region and give certainty over future rail investment.
By Mark Casci
Wednesday, 30th December 2020, 10:52 am
Updated Wednesday, 30th December 2020, 11:56 am
In a letter to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, WYCA asks the Government to use its forthcoming Integrated Rail Plan for the North and Midlands to make good its commitment to delivering the eastern leg of HS2 in full and on the same timescale as the western leg.
The Plan should also commit to delivering improved capacity around Leeds Station, the Transpennine line upgrade, Northern Powerhouse Rail in full including a new line between Leeds, Bradford City Centre and Manchester along with a programme of electrification of existing lines.
The letter rejects the findings of the National Infrastructure Commission's recent Rail Needs Assessment which claimed HS2's link to Yorkshire should be downgraded in favour of better connectivity across the North.
WYCA wants HS2 to be delivered for Yorkshire.
The NIC made its recommendation two weeks ago but WYCA has today claimed the findings are based on an "inconsistent and fundamentally flawed" approach and warns that following its recommendations could have serious economic consequences.
It says the National Infrastructure Commission's approach creates an artificial choice between HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail, ignores the role HS2 will play in improving connections between Yorkshire's cities, fails to deliver Northern Powerhouse Rail in full and does not address the capacity bottlenecks around Leeds Station which cause delays across the national rail network.
The letter further warns that continued uncertainty on HS2 will damage business confidence and blight development while doing nothing to accelerate delivery of other schemes which will take up to a decade to reach the same point. A clear decision would allow enabling works for the eastern leg of HS2 to begin in 2024.
The letter says: "The Government has a choice to make, it can make a choice to tackle climate change, to unlock economic growth, to bridge the productivity gaps and to level up. Or the Government can once again leave our region and other authorities in the North behind."
Transport Secretary of State Grant Shapps has been urged to commit in full to transport upgrades for the North.

Nov 19, 2014 - All in all, the Jabra is a solid corporate headset that can also be used by a small group of niche consumers. Features like the active (rather than passive) noise cancellation and the USB controller dongle make the headset versatile. While this headset is by no means a budget headset to issue to an entire fleet of office workers, this is definitely a good treat for someone who just needs a little bit of sanctuary in the workplace.

I bought it at Christie's
In the first of a new series, Anupam Ganguli, Director of Special Projects at Royal Museums Greenwich, discusses a pair of Persian carpets that remind him of his Delhi childhood, and which he bought at Christie's in 2014
'I have memories of my parents buying carpets when I was growing up in Delhi. During the winter months, traders would come down from the mountains of Kashmir to sell shawls and carpets door to door. I've inherited my mother's love of carpets.
'This red carpet was bought as part of a lot of two. It is square — and square carpets are uncommon: most are rectangular. I don't know why — perhaps it has something to do with the looms. The other one, which is just out of shot, is predominantly yellow. It is decorated with fanciful little animals. There are blue moose-like creatures, scary panthers, fantasy lions, and a beast that looks like some kind of dinosaur.
'I bought the carpets because I thought the room needed more warmth and colour. They are not Kashmiri, and not antique at all — 60 or 70 years old at most. They seem to be from Persia — the catalogue mentions the cities of Yazd and Tabriz — but there is something about them that reminds me of the Indian miniatures I collect. They have that same sort of precision, a similar attitude to detail, and certain colour combinations such as green and gold, magenta and blue.
Every carpet has a different texture depending on the weave. When you walk on a carpet barefoot, you recognise it. It is art that you can touch
'I have always thought that the floor is a fifth wall; it deserves a work of art and it needs a focus. I am fascinated by textiles, and carpets are the easiest form of textile to display: you don't have to hang them or protect them. I don't worry about people walking on them, though I don't wear shoes when I walk on them myself. It's not that I'm precious about them — I just like the feel. Every carpet has a different texture depending on the weave. When you walk on a carpet barefoot, you recognise it. It is art that you can touch.
'Nobody wanted this lot on the day of the auction, so I had it to myself. When I have bid for other things, I've found that the adrenalin goes sky-high, and that puts you at risk of making some very rash decisions. But the objects that you are likely to get at auction are so interesting because they are unique: you end up with something that no one else has. So really, why would you go to a shop?'

Q: Has this distance-2 $K_k$-factor problem been studied before? Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite simple graph. For any positive integer $k \geq 1$, a distance-2 $K_k$-factor is a collection of cliques $K_k$ of $G$ such that for every two vertices $u$ and $v$ in distinct members of the collection, the distance between $u$ and $v$ is at least two.
For $k = 1$, this is known as a distance-2 independent set. For $k = 2$, this is known as an induced matching (also known as a strong matching). These are known concepts that have definitely been studied before.
But has the problem been studied for larger $k$, particularly $k=3$, before? Does it have a more familiar name?
