LEGO launches new building sets for smartphone-addicted generation
by Max Taylor October 22, 2019
Most of the parents complain that their children are smartphone-addicted, it looks like the world now exists in both realities, digital and physical. This did not lead to the gradual reduction of LEGO, despite the fact that it is broadly known as a maker of physical toys - and its latest sets now erase the limits of physical and smartphone games.
These building sets are called LEGO Hidden Side, which has become a series of ghost-themed kits, now manufacturers give them a second life with the Hidden Side app for smartphones, which allows you to interact with kits using augmented reality (AR).
In the application, you must resolve puzzles by interacting with the set, using the smartphone's camera to scan and recognize the changes made. You can look at all eight Hidden Side kits on the LEGO website.
Thus, you can warmly remember how you played with your LEGO Knights, Rock Raiders or City, open buildings by playing with minifigs; but your children may remember doing likewise while looking at their smartphones.
Unfortunately, this is our future, the future of digital generation and LEGO tries to keep up with the trends.
At first you need to download the app from the App Store or Play Store called LEGO Hidden Side. Once you launch the app you will see two available modes: The hunter and Ghost. Each of them brings different gameplay and interactions in the real world. Hunter mode is related with augmented reality gameplay where you will have to scan your building set and afterwards solve various puzzles by interacting with set in real life. For example: moving minifigs to different locations or changing some parts of a set. The ghost mode doesn't require a set near you. You will see the set on your phone's screen and will be able to interact with it in digital world.

District 225 again delays action on Glenbrook North hall monitor charged with gun crime
By Alexandra Kukulka
Pioneer Press |
Steven Schulhof is charged with failure to obtain a concealed-carry permit, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and impersonating a police officer. (Northbrook Police Department)
After about an hour of closed-session negotiations, the Glenbrook High Schools District 225 Board of Education decided Thursday to delay its decision about the employment of a Glenbrook North High School hallway monitor accused of improperly carrying a loaded gun in a school parking lot after hours.
Steven Schulhof, 60, attended the meeting, after which the board decided to postpone its decision until Oct. 23. Superintendent Michael Riggle declined to comment on the reason for the delay.
The board decided to postpone discussion during both of its September meetings as well. Shulhof has been on paid administrative leave since his arrest, Riggle said.
Schulhof was arrested around midnight on Aug. 26 after backing his car into a pole in a Glenbrook North campus parking lot, authorities said. While emptying out his car, he removed a loaded gun, police said. Officers later learned he did not have a concealed-carry permit for the gun.
Police said Schulhof also showed officers a badge clipped to his waist. Police determined he was not a member of any law enforcement agency. According to police reports, the badge read "Special Investigator K-9."
Schulhof told officers he was in the parking lot to train his German shepherd, police said.
Northbrook Police Detective John Seiler wrote in his report that, "Schulhof was not granted permission by the school or district to be training on the property and had been warned about doing so on at least one prior occasion in 2015."
Schulhof, of the 2600 block of Golden Rod Lane, Glenview, was charged with failure to obtain a concealed-carry permit, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and impersonating a police officer. He was released on $50,000 bond.
As a condition of his release on bond, Schulhof was required to turn over all his firearms. Police took in 40 firearms in total, according to reports.
Since 1995, Schulhof has been a licensed private detective, according to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. He also has a valid firearm owner's identification card.
His next court date is Nov. 14, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

Our dogs have been in our home, socialized with other dogs and have played with our boys. Each dog is evaluated by a vet, has up to date shots and is altered before being placed with their new family. It's real life living for each of these dogs before placement!
We have three boys and six dogs of our own. Our boys are very active and all dogs in our home are treated equally with love and compassion. They all go for walks with our family, play in the backyard with the boys and just hang out on the sofa while watching the latest Netflix with us. At night, there are always dogs in our boys beds.
We believe that all dogs deserve the best possible home. We love all of them as our own! Our commitment to all rescue dogs in our home is to love and care for them so when they transition to their new family, they have all that they need to be an amazing family member. Our adoption process is simple and has proven to be effective.
Bella was a stray left to survive the AZ summer heat. Now she travels the world with her sidekick twin brother and fur mom when they aren't enjoying the cool weather of Flagstaff, AZ. We are so happy for you #LovePup Bella!
Cookie had 3 puppies and ended up with Tick Fever. She had a low red blood cell count and did Hyperbaric Chamber for 6 sessions.
#LovePup Rufus was running around a neighborhood for almost 2 years. Sky Sanctuary Rescue was able to catch him thanks to the man in the photo that tracked his whereabouts for so long. They had him for about a month. Rufus was shy and very timid. He slept with our son and eventually came out of his shell. He needed lots of patience and love, and that is exactly what this man gave him. He knew Rufus was meant to be a part of the family so he called as soon as he knew Rufus was available for adoption. Now he truly is a mans best friend.
Trixie is a sweet Boston Terrier/Pug Mix that we believe is about 3 to 4 years old. She is surprisingly trusting and loving for being used as a bait dog before rescued. Trixie loves cuddling and kissing. She is going to be so happy in her new family with other fur siblings.

The Best Cities in Which to Celebrate New Year's Eve.
Best Cities in Which to Have Fun-filled New Year's Eve Celebration
Without Having to Rob a Bank to Do It
Orlando, San Francisco, and Atlanta lead the New Year's Eve parade for cost-effective NYE celebration, according to our friends at WalletHub. They are great cities in which to have fun. The Lobster speaks from first-hand experience and has no reason to believe NYE will be any different.
The WalletHub survey ranks Denver, Buffalo, and Cincinnati closely behind Orlando, San Francisco, and Atlanta.
No matter where you wake up on New Year's Day, do the Lobster a favor and be safe on New Year's Eve. Don't get stupid and don't rob any banks.
For more information on the best places to ring in the new year, or to see where your city ranks in terms of the most NYE bang for the buck visit www.wallethub.com.
The Lobster will greet the New Year in Kennett Square, Pa, the self-proclaimed Mushroom Capital of the World, where he will watch the lighting and dropping of a giant crystal mushroom.
The Most Difficult Places to Stay off The Naughty List
As we approach the Christmas season many of us are trying to avoid The Devil's Workshop in order to stay off of Santa's Naughty List and maximize our Christmas hauls.
In order to help you avoid the Naughty List, The Lobster presents the following list of the most sinful cities in the US, compiled by our good friends at WalletHub. Staying away from them should make it easier to have Santa inscribe your name on the Nice List.
Most Sinful Cities
1. Las Vegas (I bet that was a tough call)
2. St. Louis
3. Cincinnati
4. Orlando
5. Springfield, Mo.
6. Miami
7. Richmond, Va.
8. Baton Rouge
9. Pittsburgh
The Lobster hopes that his counterparts at WalletHub didn't have to do a lot of personal research to develop this list.
The Lobster has spent time in 6 of these 10 cities and enjoyed them all.
To determine how fast your trip to the Naughty List will be WalletHub evaluated the 150 most populated cities based on the the occurrence of 7 deadly sinful behaviors: Anger and Hatred, Jealousy, Excesses and Vices, Avarice, Lust, Vanity and Laziness.
If you are looking for a quick trip to the Nice List, consider relocating to or staying in these least sinful cities,
141. Santa Clarita, Ca.
142. Glendale, Ca.
143. Irvine, Ca.
144. Santa Ana, Ca.
145. Garden Grove, CA.
146. Chula Vista, Ca
147. Brownsville, Tx.
148. Yonkers, NY
149. Fremont, Ca.
150. San Jose,
No clue to explain why 8 of the 10 least vice-ridden American cities are in California. Maybe they are "family values" cities and/or good places to raise kids.
For the record, Santa, The Lobster has visited 8 of the 10 least sinful cities, two more than the naughty cities he been to, and his hours logged in the nice cities exceed the time he has spent in the naughty places. However, in the interest of full disclosure, two of The Lobster's favorite cities to visit are on the Naughty List, Las Vegas and New Orleans. Honesty counts for something, doesn't it Santa.
For the full report or to see where your city ranks, please click over to https://wallethub.com/edu/most-sinful-cities-in-america/29846 But not until you have read The Lobster's other posts or otherwise perused this site.
According to WalletHub, St. Louis has the highest violent crime rate, per 1,000 residents, over 18. this is 33 times the rate in Irvine, Ca. the city with the lowest, 0.56.
According to the data, Las Vegas has the most adult entertainment businesses per 100,000 residents.
The Government May Give You Stuff But That Doesn't Make It Free
The Farmers Market Coalition has announced that its free SNAP EBT equipment program has been extended. Under the program USDA provides EBT equipment and services to farmers markets in order to allow more markets to accept EBT cards, thus making fresh fruits and vegetables more easily available to people who qualify for SNAP (formerly food stamps) benefits. The equipment may be free to the farmers and markets, but is isn't free. Someone has to pay for it.

Q: Value of 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header in response is '' which must be 'true' Have my backend deployed to heroku and my frontend deployed to netlify. I can't get past the landing page and login page on my netlify app link, even though my site worked fine before trying to get it deployed. I am seeing this console error several times when I try to login to my app on netlify and fail to do so:
Access to fetch at 'https://photo-sharer-backend.herokuapp.com/api/v1/get_current_user' from origin 'https://photo-sharer-kkirby16.netlify.app' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' header in the response is '' which must be 'true' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'.
photo-sharer-backend.herokuapp.com/api/v1/get_current_user:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

Tried putting mode: "no-cors" in my fetch requests.
Tried putting "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": true in headers object of all my fetch requests.
Tried putting config.hosts.clear in the module within config/application.rb
Still haven't fixed this error with trying those things. There is also not much online for this. From something I saw however it seems I may need to change something on the backend so that the response has the header, rather than focusing on frontend changes. Possibly I need to change my cors.rb file? Does anyone have ideas how I can fix this error?
First time trying to deploy a site and I would really appreciate any help.
Also, here is my cors.rb file:
Rails.application.config.middleware.insert_before 0, Rack::Cors do
  allow do
    origins "https://photo-sharer-kkirby16.netlify.app"

    resource "*",
             headers: :any,
             methods: [:get, :post, :put, :patch, :delete, :options, :head],
             credentials: false
  end

Q: How to send RecyclerView data to a BottomSheetDialog I am developing a Recyclerview that pressing a button should open a BottomSheetDialog. I can open BottomSheet but I can't pass data to it. I tried using an interface earlier but it didn't work.
        class MyAdapter(private val listaItens: List<Itens>, private val context: Context,
                private val fragmentManager: FragmentManager) :
        RecyclerView.Adapter<RecyclerView.ViewHolder>() {

    private val POST_TXT = 0
    private val POST_IMG = 1
    //some code ...

    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
        when (viewType) {
            POST_TXT -> {
                val item = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.text, parent, false)
                return ViewHolderTexto(item)
            }
            POST_IMG -> {
                val item = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.image, parent, false)
                return ViewHolderImage(item)
            }
            //some code ...
        }
    }

    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int) {

        val item = listaItens[position]
        val usuarioLogado = UsuarioFirebase.getDadosUsuarioLogado()

        when (holder.itemViewType) {
            POST_TXT -> {
                val viewHolderTexto = holder as ViewHolderTexto
                viewHolderTexto.setIsRecyclable(false)
                //some code ...

            }
            POST_IMG -> {
                val viewHolderImage = holder as ViewHolderImage
                viewHolderImage.setIsRecyclable(false)
                //some code ...
                holder.imageComentarioPostagemImage.setOnClickListener {
                    val comentariosBottomSheet = ComentariosBottomSheet()//open bottom sheet
                    comentariosBottomSheet.show(fragmentManager, comentariosBottomSheet.tag)
                }

//some code ...
            }
        }
    }

How to send RecyclerView data to a BottomSheetDialog?

A: Why don't you simply pass the data by constructor param of the Bottom sheet
val comentariosBottomSheet = ComentariosBottomSheet(data)//open bottom sheet
comentariosBottomSheet.show(fragmentManager, comentariosBottomSheet.tag)

A: How about his approach:

*

*function/interface passed into the adapter

Note function is passed as last parameter
    class MyAdapter( .... private val onClickCallBack:(item :Itens) ... {
     ....
    }

Register clicklistener on the  holder
    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder, position: Int){
    val item = listaItens[position]
    val usuarioLogado = UsuarioFirebase.getDadosUsuarioLogado()
       ....
     holder.itemView.setOnClickListener{
       onClickCallBack(item)
    }

*

*Add callback to the  adapter  where you want to show the bottom (sheet ex Activity)

As noted above the function was passed as last parameter to the Aconstructor so we can call it after  like this:
     val myAdapter:MyAdapter = MyAdapter(){
           //ShowBottomScree
           //  'it' is refenced as the passed data from adapter.

    }

Preakness Reformed Church 2019 Memorial Scholarship Awardees
3 high school graduates:
Sean Bertrand is graduating from DePaul High School and will join his brothers in California; he will attend Santa Barbara City College. At DePaul, Sean was captain of the basketball team and participated in Future Business Leaders of America and the Culinary Club. He has served as a U.S. Open Tennis ball boy. He received a Scholar Athlete Award, and the DePaul Spartan Award. Sean states that PRC has instilled an array of faith filled principles that he keeps in his back pocket every day, and believes that we must work as the "hands of the person upstairs".
Juliana Struyk is graduating from Eastern Christian High School and will attend Hope College in Holland, Michigan. At Eastern Christian, Juliana was active in student government for 4 years, serving as Student Senate president, and was a member of the National Honor Society. She participated in Anchored Christian Fellowship and other spiritual groups; she went to Guatemala on a school mission trip. She was a piano competition winner and performed more than once at Carnegie Hall. Juliana states that when she wakes up every day and looks into the mirror, she reminds herself that it is a new day with unknown opportunities to serve God.
Katherine Wittlinger is graduating from Wayne Hills High School and will attend Felician University in Rutherford. At Wayne Hills, Kat played volleyball, was in the Lantern Club and on stage crews. She was in both National Honor Society and the National Art Honors Society. She was a brand representative at Abercrombie Kids. Kat credits R.I.S.E. with helping her decision to pursue a nursing career; she says she felt like the best version of herself on the mission trip while she was helping people. Kat tries to exemplify daily what true Christianity is to her: kindness, respect, tolerance, compassion and justice.
5 college students:
Jim Curtin completed his third year at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island; he is majoring in construction management. He is a member of Engineers Without Borders and is interested in sustainable construction. Jim says that while at college, he has learned a lot about who he is, and he truly believes that his faith and his PRC membership has shaped him into who he is, the decisions he makes and how he acts.
Taylor Domico completed her first year at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, pursuing a major in animation. She was a member of the cross country, winter and spring track teams, and was secretary of RIT's Rescue Shelter Club. Taylor believes that God continues to stand beside her, and the knowledge of God's ever present mercy and compassion helps her try to be the very best version of herself.
Jessica Hinners completed her second year at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, majoring in psychology. She compares the community she lives in at college to the community she feels at PRC; the people who were kind and generous and engaging reminded her of the way she feels at PRC, during youth group, coffee hour and R.I.S.E., a warmth that comes from people who truly love and care about others.
Craig Macagney completed his second year at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia; he is majoring in electrical engineering with a focus in controls, robotics and autonomous vehicles. He is a member of Engineering Without Borders on the Uganda team and is the Scholarship Chair for his fraternity, Theta Chi. Craig quotes Proverbs 3: 27 which says, "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act." This past year he has tried to be an example of that by performing small acts of kindness in addition to his involvement in larger philanthropies on campus.
Reagan Nichols completed her third year at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee, majoring in social work. Through her sorority, Delta Sigma, she worked with Mercy Multiplied, a Christian residential facility for young women and through Pi Beta Sigma, a social work service club, Reagan volunteered in local community service organizations. She believes her faith has been strengthened though SALT (Serving and Learning Together) courses that integrate service, learning and spiritual development into the educational curriculum.
2 PRC members in graduate school:
Amanda Beodeker is attending Montclair State University in the graduate program of Education and Human Services, working towards a Master's Degree in School Counseling. She is currently teaching at Grover Cleveland Middle School in Caldwell, NJ. A professional goal of hers is to be a school counselor who will work to change the stigma of "going to guidance," and to try to ensure no one falls through the cracks. Amanda has served PRC in many ways: as an adult leader on RISE, as a Youth Leader, an Elder and Confirmation mentor.
Talbot Weston is attending Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine in Stratford, NJ. Talbot describes her first year of medical school as a challenge to her sanity and a reinforcement of her faith. She has had "serious talks with God" which has reinforced her knowledge that God is with her and a support to her. This morning we will hear from Talbot about her experiences in Ghana on a medical relief mission.

Q: tkinter "unknown option "-padx" " I am working on a project using tkinter and I wanted to change button styles to make it look better, but when I start import tkinter.tkk the code starts messing up.
I could not find any clear solution on the Internet and also when I start another code with both tkinter and tkinter.tkk imported it works fine.
Here is the working code:
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *

root = Tk()

root.geometry('100x100')

style = Style()

style.configure('TButton', font =
               ('calibri', 10, 'bold', 'underline'),
                foreground = 'red')

btn1 = Button(root, text = 'Quit !',

btn1.grid(row = 0, column = 3, padx = 100)

btn2 = Button(root, text = 'Click me !', command = None)
btn2.grid(row = 1, column = 3, pady = 10, padx = 100)

_tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-padx"

Please let me know if you have any solutions.

A: You must pad the elements in the grid() method.
This:
button1 = Button(window, text='1', padx=40, pady=40)
...
button1.grid(row=1, column=1)

Must be done like this:
button1 = Button(window, text='1')
...
button1.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=40, pady=40)

Also you should avoid importing tkinter and tkinter.ttk at the same time using from ... import *: when you type Button(...), this calls the tkinter.ttk.Button class instead of the tkinter.Button class. And this class doesn't support the fg and bg arguments. So prefer removing the line
from tkinter.ttk import *

This will avoid this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\lcc_zarkos\Desktop\UKIYO-dataframer\gui-tkinter.py", line 25, in <module>
    buttoneq = Button(window,text='=',fg='black',bg="silver")

    self.tk.call(
_tkinter.TclError: unknown option "-fg"

If you still want to import tkinter.ttk, import it, for example, like that:
import tkinter.ttk as ttk

A: You should know, Tkinter Entry widget can have width property only AS if you want to position the entry widget then use padx and pady however if you want to resize the entry widget then use ipadx and ipady.
from tkinter import *

#Create an instance of tkinter window
root= Tk()
root.geometry("600x450")

e= Entry(root, width= 20)
e.pack(ipadx=30, ipady= 30)

root.mainloop()

A: for button you can't add padding to it using confige(padx = 10)
but you need to add it to the grid function.
but for label you can .
button = tkinter.Button(text = "add", command = calculte)
button.grid(column = 3, row =  0, pady = (5,5))

result = tkinter.Label(text = "= ")
# you can add in gride function
result.grid(column = 4, row = 0, padx = (10,0))
# and you can also add it here
result.config(padx = 10)


text:
Un parvenit este o persoană care a ajuns să dețină o bună situație materială, politică sau socială fără merite deosebite, fără muncă, adesea prin mijloace neoneste. Cuvântul provine din substantivul francez parvenu, format din participiul trecut al verbului parvenir (a ajunge, a reuși să facă ceva).

Origine
Cuvântul parvenit descrie în mod obișnuit o persoană care a urcat recent pe scara socială, mai ales un individ nou îmbogățit. Celebra Margaret Brown, care a supraviețuit scufundării Titanicului în 1912, a fost descrisă ca o persoană nou îmbogățită în musical-ul The Unsinkable Molly Brown, din cauza faptului că provenea dintr-o familie de imigranți irlandezi săraci și a lipsei de "sânge albastru".

Oxford English Dictionary definește parvenitul ca fiind: "o persoană dintr-un mediu umil, care s-a îmbogățit rapid sau a dobândit rapid o poziție socială influentă; un nou îmbogățit; un arivist. Folosit, de asemenea, într-un sens mai larg, cu implicația că persoana respectivă este nepotrivită noii sale poziții sociale din cauza lipsa de maniere sau a realizărilor."

Acest termen îi desemnează pe indivizii care nu sunt acceptați social de indivizii care fac deja parte din noua lor clasă socială.

Arivist
Un arivist este o persoană care caută, prin tot felul de mijloace, să ajungă la o poziție socială superioară printr-un comportament lipsit de scrupule. Termenul este folosit uneori ca sinonim cu parvenit și poate fi folosit ca insultă, sugerând o etică precară a muncii sau lipsa de respect față de origini.

Exemple
Cele mai cunoscute exemple de parveniți provin din domeniul sportului și divertismentului: unii dintre ei s-au născut și au crescut în sărăcie și s-au trezit brusc cu venituri semnificativ mai mari datorită dobândirii statutului de celebritate.

Familiile regale vechi ale Europei au considerat familia Bonaparte ca o familie de parveniți regali. Napoleon al III-lea a încercat să se căsătorească cu o prințesă germană și suedeză, dar nu a reușit pentru că era privit ca un parvenit. Același lucru s-a spus, de asemenea, în cazul căsătoriei prințesei egiptene Fawzia cu viitorul șah al Iranului, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Unul dintre motivele neoficiale ale divorțului lor este că familia Fawziei, inclusiv regele Farouk I, îi considera pe membrii familiei Pahlavi ca parveniți. Deși dinastia Muhammad Ali din Egipt și Sudan, căreia îi aparținea Fawzia, avea începuturi umile, ea și-a consolidat statutul în Egipt și în lumea arabă începând din 1805. Prin contrast, familia Pahlavi era o dinastie mult mai recentă, obținându-și poziția ca urmare a loviturii de stat a tatălui lui Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Reza Khan, în 1921.

Mulți parveniți din Statele Unite ale Americii au ajuns acolo ca imigranți săraci, apoi au urcat pe scara socială. Începându-și cariera ca muncitori, ei au profitat de oportunitățile economice mai bune din SUA, ajungând funcționari publici, funcționari de tipul "gulere albe" (afaceri / birouri) și, în final, membri respectabili ai societății. Un astfel de exemplu ar putea fi John Jacob Astor, a cărui familie a jupuit mai demult iepuri pentru a câștiga bani. Împreună cu fratele său, el a ajuns să construiască edificii reprezentative ale New York-ului precum Hotelul Waldorf-Astoria. Nepotul lui s-a mutat în Anglia, unde a devenit în cele din urmă primul viconte Astor.

În secolul al XIX-lea aristocrația franceză le considera ca parvenite pe femeile evreice care se converteau la creștinism pentru a se căsători cu bărbați din înalta societate. Profesorul Catherine Nicault de la Universitatea din Reims Champagne-Ardenne susținea că această atitudine era un exemplu al modului în care aristocrația franceză se manifesta ostil față de evrei.

Literatură
 În romanul Enigma Otiliei al scriitorului român George Călinescu, Stănică Rațiu este un personaj nou îmbogățit. El se îmbogățește prin furtul banilor unui bătrân bogat și prin căsătoria cu o curtezană de lux, pătrunzând în elita societății bucureștene.
 În romanul Marele Gatsby personajul Gatsby este un nou îmbogățit. El își obține bogăția prin contrabandă, face cheltuieli luxoase și se străduiește să fie acceptat în înalta societate americană.
 În romanul Roșu și negru protagonistul provincial Julien Sorel se consideră un parvenit după ce a intrat în serviciul marchizului de la Mole.

William Penn arrived in Pennsylvania in 1682, bringing with him Quakers from England. Penn and his followers embraced the practice of owning slaves established by Europeans who arrived before them.
Over time, Penn returned to England and Europe to recruit settlers for his colony. Among the recruits were German Quakers, who were unaccustomed to slavery.
"They were Quakers; they believed in pacifism; they wanted - some of them had left Germany because they were trying to avoid being forced into a prince's army."
One of the German immigrants, Daniel Pastorius, is believed to have written the document which became known as the First Protest.
"These are the reasons why we are against the traffik of men-body... Is there any that would be done or handled at this manner? There is a saying, that we shall doe to all men, like as we will be done ourselves, making no difference of what generation, descent, or colour they are. And those who steal or rob men, and those who buy or purchase them, are they not all alike?"
Pastorius submitted the Protest to the Quaker monthly meeting, a formal gathering of local Quakers. The year was 1683, and it was the first time white men in the New World formally protested against slavery.
"The meeting thought about it and they decided, as they said, it was too weighty, so they passed it on to the Quarterly meeting. Quarterly Meeting found it too weighty, so they sent it on to the Yearly Meeting. And the Yearly Meeting struggled with it, but they decided that they would not respond so in essence the issue was buried not to resurface for a long time."
The First Protest, the actual document, disappeared for 150 years. When it was rediscovered in 1844, black and white abolitionists publicized it as an early humane statement against slavery.
"This is a first little stab...it certainly indicates a moral spark among these folk. Arguably, it can be said it doesn't last, since slavery will grow, prosper and thrive under Quaker rule in the Pennsylvania colony. But it's important as a first statement."
"When they first spoke out against it they didn't for any notoriety about it, but they felt that something had to be said. And they did it in a quiet and formal way, but nevertheless their statement was heard around the world."
By the eve of the American Revolution, devout members of the Quaker religion agreed to stop personally participating in the buying, selling, and holding of slaves.
"Everything has its beginning, and the beginning of their Anti-slavery movement does go back to this Germantown Protest of 1688."
In 1780, almost one hundred years later, Pennsylvania became the first northern state to adopt a gradual emancipation law. In the early 19th century, Philadelphia became a hub for the national abolition movement.


Have you ever had an exciting adventure just sneak up on you out of nowhere and totally surprise you? That's what happened to me this summer. (Yes, this is my "What I Did On Summer Vacation" report…) I was all ready to have a nice, relaxing summer break from my school visit schedule, with a trip out to California to see my husband's family, and hopefully lots of time to work on new book ideas, when SURPRISE!, John Sant'Ambrogio, the Principal Cellist of the St. Louis Symphony called me up. I had no idea what to expect. I packed up a bunch of art supplies and some of my favorite children's books, and then got in the car with 2 complete strangers and drove the 16 hours from St. Louis, MO to Steamboat Springs, CO. Welcome to Arts For The Soul!
This is a photo of my new friends Emily Ho (a violinist in her second season with the St. Louis Symphony), Davin Rubicz (a cellist from Seattle), Chris Woehr (Acting Principal Violist with the St. Louis Symphony), Dmitri Pogorelov (an amazing young Russian violinist finishing up his senior year at Lynn University in Boca Raton, FL), and me – in the middle of the 11-mile loop up to Devil's Causeway. See the blizzard that is about to dump snow all over us in the background?
I couldn't even begin to imagine how these two weeks would change my life. Every morning, classes in chamber music, creative writing, photography, and painting were offered. My official responsibilities included teaching workshops about children's literature and nature journaling. Every afternoon, the students had the option of taking hikes of various levels of difficulty, or catching a ride into town to explore the independent bookstores and coffee houses. All these options offered inspiration for the next morning's creativity. The students who attended all showed up with different skill levels. Gail arrived with a children's book manuscript in hand, and made it through 4 or 5 editing rounds before the end of the first session. While Rachel had just begun to play the cello this March. But at the end of each week, everyone had the chance to share their progress with the group. Gail read her story, and Rachel played a piece on her cello composed especially for her by Chris Woehr, an avid composer and violist with the St. Louis Symphony. I can't tell you how inspiring it was to sit by the fire after that first session and watch all these people stand up and share a painting, a photo, a piece of writing or a piece of music. My job as a visiting author gives me the chance to work with lots of amazing children, but to see adults who were told some time in their lives that their art wasn't important, or that they weren't good enough at it, overcome those formidible limitations was just sublime.
As a wonderful side benefit, I think my own art and writing was definitely enriched by getting out of the studio and talking with other professional painters and authors. But I was just floored by the musicians, since I have the musical sense of a doorknob. You know, I just can't afford to hire a string quartet to play in my studio while I'm creating my children's books. So you can imagine how wonderful it was to walk around the condo complex and hear Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, and Brahms echoing down the cooridors. Sometimes I would sneak into their practice sessions and paint or write in my journal during the time when I wasn't teaching.


The Matera Collection (2007), focused on delivering ample storage, is the work of Sean Yoo, who at the time of its conception lived in Matera, Italy (thus its name). Born in Seoul, Yoo grew up in Los Angeles and was working as a city planner when a visit to the Noguchi Museum in New York inspired him to pursue design. "I was particularly attracted to the way Noguchi applied sculptural qualities to common household objects," says Yoo. "It seemed to give meaning and purpose to otherwise meaningless objects." The Matera Collection features clean lines nicely finished with beveled edges, running match-wood grain and exposed-slot mortise-and-tenon corner joints. All pieces have slotted bases that lend an airy feel. The Matera Mirror is designed to rest against a wall at a slight angle. Made in Malaysia.

In 1818 William Payne attended a hearing before two Justices of the Peace to determine whether or not he was entitled through settlement to receive parish relief from the Holy Trinity overseers of the poor. If not, then he would be removed to the appropriate parish. In earlier years this could have happened to any new arrivals in a parish living in accommodation worth less than £10 per annum, so long as they were challenged within 40 days. They didn't need to be claiming relief at the time; only suspected of perhaps needing it in the future; however, an Act of 1795 specified that removal should only take place if and when a person became chargeable to the parish.
The account of William's evidence begins with standard legalese before he explains the circumstances that he hopes will justify his claim for settlement. The key considerations were whether he was born in the parish and if so, whether he had served an apprenticeship or worked for more than a year in a different parish: This would be an easy trap to fall into in a small town of three parishes.
The transcript below reveals some useful family details as well as giving an insight into William's life at the time. The transcription may contain an error or two where a word is unclear and I have added a little punctuation and clarified the notation for "old money". Hopefully the meaning is unchanged.
The examination of William Payne now residing in the parish of the Holy Trinity in the said Borough, thatcher, taken on his oath as to his settlement the 3rd day of December 1818 before us two of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace of and for the said Borough.
Who saith that he was born as he has heard and believes within the parish of the Holy Trinity in the Borough aforesaid and is of the age of 35 years or thereabouts. Says he never was apprenticed, nor ever lived himself for a year or lived as a yearly servant with any person. That he lived with his father in Trinity parish and learned the business of a thatcher till about 16 years ago when he married Grace his present wife by whom he has seven children now living, viz. Eliza aged about 15 years, John about 11, George about ten, Elizabeth about nine, Mary Ann about eight, William about four and James about two years. Says he lived with his father about a year after his marriage agreeing to pay him 50s a year for his lodging. He then took a house on Martins parish of Mr Hayward at five Guineas a year in which he lived about nine months and then went back again to his father's house agreeing to give him as before 50s a year for their lodging in which house he and his family have lived to the present time. That about the year 1812 having a Bill on John Calcraft Esq. (who was the owner of the house in which his father lived and where Examinant lodged) for thatching work done, he carried in the Bill to Mr Bartlett, Mr Calcraft's steward, to be paid amounting to £19: 6s: 2d and Mr Bartlett or his clerk told Examinant that as his father had not paid the rent of late and there was then four years due, and as Examinant did the thatching work for Mr Calcraft he should in future look to him for the rent and that he should now charge him with two of the four years rent then due which was as much as the balance could enable him to charge, to which he agreed and took the balance of the account after paying the two years rent amounting to 16s and since that time he has paid no rent nor come to any settlement though he has continued to do the thatching work for Mr Calcraft and has been frequently asked for his accounts. That at the time of the above settlement with Mr Bartlett he ceased to pay the lodging money to his father which he had regularly done up to that time, telling his father that as Mr Bartlett had charged him with the rent he should not pay for lodging too. His father has been dead about two years. That about Christmas 1806 he took of Mr Robt Dugdale a garden called the Folly Garden in Martins parish in Wareham at £4 per annum to commence from Christmas 1806 and has occupied the same for four years to Christmas 1810. That on 5th Sept 1810 Mr Bacon offered to let him a house which adjoins Examinant's father's house in Trinity parish and Examinant took it for one year from that day at £4: 4s: 0d per annum and Mr Bacon gave him the key on that or the following day. That Examinant did not occupy the house himself except to put some potatoes there which grew in the Garden he rented of Mr Dugdale and some wood faggotts spars etc. which he sold. That at Michaelmas Dairyman Stickland took the house at £4: 10s: 0d a year till he could get another, Examinant reserving to himself the pantry and the garrett if he needed it to keep potatoes. That Dairyman Stickland occupied it half a year till Lady Day 1811 and a week or two after Mr Bacon sent a man of the name of White to Examinant and White asked Examinant to give up the house to him at Mr Bacon's request which Examinant agreed to do as he did not want it and held himself no longer tenant of Bacon's. And Examinant says he has done no act or thing to gain a Settlement except as before stated. And that his late father William Payne was settled as he has heard and believes at Dewlish in this County, he having been about 4 or 5 years ago removed by an order of two magistrates from the Borough of Wareham to Dewlish.
So far I have found no mention of William Payne's father being born at Dewlish, a small village about ten miles northwest of Wareham. He died in Wareham, aged 76, according to the parish records, so he would have been born about 1740. In which case the baptism for a William Pain on 1 November 1740 in the parish of Athelhampton with Burleston could refer to him. The church is only 4 or 5 miles from Dewlish and had apparently been repaired earlier in 1740. Perhaps that was the reason for Thomas and Mary Pain to choose it for their son William's baptism rather than the local church at Dewlish which had seen the baptism of their daughter Elizabeth on 23 February 1738.
Thomas Pain and Mary Chiles (Childes?) were married after Banns in another parish only a couple of miles from Dewlish, Milborne St Andrew, on 11 April 1737 so they certainly spread their custom around. If Thomas was a thatcher like his son and grandson perhaps he found work in the nearby villages and his small family travelled with him. Several other children of Thomas and Mary Pain were born over the next few years and all were baptised at Dewlish. But I am not yet convinced it is the same Mary, (or Thomas!) as all these baptisms also follow the marriage of Thomas Pain and Mary Harris at Dewlish in 1744. More research needed.
It appears that the younger William was successful with his settlement examination as he and his family were still in Wareham many years later. He seems to have avoided pitfalls such as living too long in another parish: he was apparently only using the accommodation he rented for storing potatoes. He also appears to have paid his parish rates regularly. William was mentioned several times in the records for Lady St Mary parish, Wareham, when he was paid for thatching work, usually on Waterloo Buildings. This was a row of cottages on the west side of Mill Lane that were used to house the poor.
William died in 1836, aged 52, but he wasn't the last thatcher in the family: George, William and another son, Stephen, born in 1820, all took up thatching as a trade. According to the census records, George was a thatcher in every census year from 1841 to 1881 when he was 73: a long hard outdoor working life with no pension to retire on. Stephen was listed as a thatcher in 1861 and 1871, after working as a servant when he was younger. William only appeared as a thatcher once, in 1851; in other census years he worked as a labourer, a pattern maker and a pedlar.
Thatch in Dorset apparently differs from that of other counties both in construction and appearance. A report compiled for Dorset County Council in the 1990's stated that one twelfth of all England's thatched houses were in Dorset.
The writer doubted the accuracy of one thatcher's description of the Dorset style as being like poured custard but it seems to conjure the right image. Traditionally in Dorset a thatched roof is recoated, meaning that an old building may have 200 years or more of layers of thatch still intact. So if Waterloo Buildings were still thatched it would contain a layer worked on by William Payne and possibly his son George learning the trade.
This cottage, complete with ducks on the ridge, is at the corner of Church Street and Church Lane in Wareham.
In 1762, on 25 July, a fire broke out in South Street and over 140 buildings were destroyed. Afterwards no new thatched houses were allowed in the town.


Excel Column Chart with Horizontal Line Segments.
This page shows a different way to indicate benchmark or target numbers on a column chart. The values of interest are shown by columns, while the benchmark or target level is indicated by a horizontal line above each category.
Create a standard clustered column chart.
Right click on the Benchmark series, choose Chart Type from the pop-up menu, and choose the XY Scatter type with markers and no lines.
Add X error bars to the Benchmark series. You can enter a number in the Fixed Value box, but to me this appeared asymmetrical, so I entered unequal negative and positive values in the Custom boxes. For more on Error Bars, see Error Bars in Microsoft Excel Charts.
Double click on the Benchmark series, and on the Patterns tab, select None for Markers. Double click on the Benchmark error bars, and on the patterns tab, select an appropriate color and line thickness (in this example, a medium-weight blue line), and click on the Marker style without the perpendicular end caps.
There's an annoying divot in the top of the horizontal line formed by the error bars if you use no marker. A small (size 2) blue square fills in the divot nicely.
Add another series to serve as a legend entry for the Benchmark error bars. I copied A1:B3 from the worksheet, selected the chart, used Paste Special from the Edit menu, and chose the New Series option.
Format the dummy Benchmark series to match the error bars (i.e., a thick blue line).
Hide the dummy Benchmark series. I did this by changing the X value data range from B2:B3 to D2:D3, using Source Data on the Chart menu, on the Series tab. D2:D3 is blank, so it will not appear in the chart, but the series remains in the legend.
Remove the original "Benchmark" legend entry. Click once to select the legend, again on the label to select it, then press Delete. I've also moved the legend to the top of the chart.

AGE UK: The single best thing older people can do for their health this autumn is to have their booster COVID-19 jab and their flu jab
Published on 17 March 2014 12:01 AM
Time for a reappraisal of ageing, say people of all ages
Age UK finds more than three quarters (77 per cent) of adults are looking forward to living longer
Yet nine out of ten (91 per cent) of adults say something needs to be done to help us all lead a better later life
And over four out of five (83 per cent) of adults believe negative perceptions of later life must change
Over three quarters (77 per cent) of adults are looking forward to living longer but nine out of ten (91 per cent) are highlighting the changes that need to be made in society to help us all lead a better later life, according to new research from Age UK.
The research, commissioned to understand more about people's attitudes towards ageing and living longer, reveals over four out of five (83 per cent) adults believe negative perceptions of later life need to change.
Positive attitude key to living longer
The survey found that over half of adults (53 per cent) have a generally positive attitude towards ageing and that positive attitudes increase the older we get. Half (50 per cent) of those aged 85 years and above believe that having a positive attitude to ageing is the key to living longer, which is proven to benefit older individuals' health, so there is a message for us all to take from their wisdom and experience.
Over half (57 per cent) of those aged 55 and over have a positive attitude towards ageing and almost two thirds (63 per cent) of those aged between 55 and 64 view later life as a chance to 'seize the moment' and use these years to do all the things there hasn't been time to do yet.
It's time for society to change as the population ages
One in five people in Great Britain will be aged 65 and over by 2020ii and this growing number of people in later life is a cause for real celebration. However, the growth of an older population needs commitment from policy makers in terms of investment in the sorts of services an ageing society will rely on.
When asked what needs to be done to help us all lead a better later life, half (50 per cent) of those surveyed said that treating older people with dignity in care homes and hospitals is one of the most important aspects of later life to address. Unfortunately too many older people do not get the care they need and Age UK is campaigning hard for improvements to be made.
The research findings come as Age UK launches its new vision, 'Love later life' with a new approach that starts with a TV advert featuring a poem written by one of Britain's best-loved poets, Roger McGough. Through 'Love later life', Age UK wants to encourage people to think differently about getting older and demonstrate that older people have a valued role in society. It also highlights how the Charity can help more people make the most of later life, whether for themselves, their friends, families or communities.
Caroline Abrahams, Charity Director at Age UK, said: 'Age UK is passionate that everyone should have the opportunity to be able to make the most of later life, whatever their circumstances. Unfortunately, at the moment we know that many older people are not able to enjoy later life and we see it as a crucial part of our job at Age UK to do everything we can to change that through both our services and campaigning work. But we can't do this alone, so it's heartening and inspiring to see that so many people think changes and improvements need to be made.
'We hope that our new, more positive and more ambitious approach will help us to encourage people of all ages to get involved and support the cause through volunteering, campaigning and fundraising with us.'
Love later life has also attracted a number of celebrity figures with Alastair Stewart, Miriam Margolyes, Zoe Wanamaker, Pam St Clement, Lesley Joseph, Sir Roger Moore, June Whitfield, Barbara Windsor, Diana Moran, Christopher Biggins, Lionel Blair, Alison Steadman and Liz McClarnon all lending their support.

Ptolemäus († um 165 in Rom) war ein christlicher Märtyrer.

Die Geschichte des Martyriums des Ptolemäus war Anlass für die zweite Apologie Justins des Märtyrers, die dieser an den römischen Kaiser richtete; in dieser Apologie wird auch beschrieben, wie es zu dem Martyrium kam. Er berichtet, wie eine Christin sich von ihrem Mann, der ein zügelloses Leben geführt habe, getrennt habe, woraufhin der Mann die Frau beim römischen Präfekten Lollius Urbicus als Christin denunzierte. Als der Frau keine konkreten Verfehlungen nachgewiesen werden konnten, habe Urbicus kurzerhand Ptolemäus, ihren christlichen Lehrer, festnehmen lassen. Daraufhin habe ein Lucius Einspruch gegen die Maßnahme des Präfekten erhoben, da auch gegen Ptolemäus nichts vorlag und eine Verurteilung allein wegen des Christennamens unrechtmäßig sei. Als Urbicus ihn gefragt habe, ob er denn auch zu den Christen gehöre, habe dieser bejaht, und ein Dritter habe sich dem angeschlossen. Ptolemäus, Lucius und der ungenannte Dritte seien dann hingerichtet worden.

Das Martyrium des Ptolemäus und seiner beiden Begleiter wurde von Beda, einem angelsächsischen Benediktinermönch und Geschichtsschreiber, nach Alexandria gesetzt, tatsächlich hat es aber in Rom stattgefunden. Da Justin im Jahre 165 hingerichtet wurde, muss das Martyrium des Ptolemäus wenig früher stattgefunden haben. Gedenktag des als Heiliger verehrten Märtyrers ist der 19. Oktober.

GDPR (or the General Data Protection Regulation), hailed by many as the biggest business challenge of the decade, will unify all data protection laws across the European Union from 25th May 2018.
There is now less than 27 weeks to go until the GDPR regulation is enforced by the European Commission and regulated by the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) in the UK.
All UK businesses that handle, process, store or trade any sort of personal data, will be required to comply to the GDPR regulations – so very few businesses will remain untouched.
As a recruitment consultancy, the nature of our services mean that we process and store personal data on behalf of our candidates and clients. We have always taken the privacy and protection of the data we hold and process very seriously, and want to make sure that we do everything within our means to ensure compliance with the new GDPR regulation. Our Senior Team have been preparing for GDPR for months now, attending various related events, discussing the implications with our key suppliers and partners, and putting a detailed action plan in place to ensure our policies, processes and systems moving forward are solid and compliant.
As part of our continued preparations, last week, we attended the Executive Leaders Network GDPR event, hosted at the Reading Conference Centre in the Madejski Stadium, to ensure we're fully prepared for May.
The key consensus from the day, was that even though many businesses (of all sizes) started preparing for the new legislation a year ago, the majority are concerned that they are not yet compliant.
64% of 200 UK organisations asked by the BSI (British Standards Institute) said they they are not yet compliant.
Another key theme that surfaced on the day was the confusion that remains around the term GDPR, often stemming from the incorrect use of the acronym. Seemingly many people are under the illusion that the term simply relates to the investment in cyber security systems, or compliant CRM systems, when in fact the implications of GDPR extends well beyond this.
Ian West, from One Trust, who presented a fantastic closing keynote at the end of day, clearly described the overarching implications of GDPR regulation.
As an expert member, and presenting on behalf of the GDPR Institut, Ian West explained that it is inevitable that any business that handles customer, supplier and employee data will have a breach. And, that to get ahead, businesses need to put steps in place to mitigate the consequences of a breach considering the GDPR regulation. He stated that there are still too many 'ifs' to truly say what 'compliance' truly looks like, but that businesses should take all reasonable steps to fall in line.
GDPR regulation will touch every team across a business – Operations, Legal, HR, Development, Marketing, Sales, as well as Third Party suppliers. It has implications upon policies, processes, systems and supplier relationships including contracts, and beyond.
Following the conference, we're continuing to prepare for May 2018, confident in our commitment to complying to GDPR regulation and to retaining and growing our reputation as a trustworthy, quality recruitment consultancy.
As expert recruiters within the Technology field, we have extensive experience recruiting for Data specialists. If you need to hire a Data Protection Officer, then you can easily register a vacancy with us today, or call us on 01189595552 to find out more about how we can help.

A new unlimited battle? Verizon revamps unlimited plans with two new options
Verizon is revamping its unlimited plans, and just in time for the new smartphone season.
A new unlimited battle? Verizon revamps unlimited plans with two new options Verizon is revamping its unlimited plans, and just in time for the new smartphone season. Check out this story on ydr.com: https://usat.ly/2xo4MN0
Eli Blumenthal, USA TODAY Published 6:00 a.m. ET Aug. 22, 2017 | Updated 12:55 p.m. ET Aug. 22, 2017
Verizon has announced two new data plans that redefine unlimited data and may jump start a price war between rival mobile service providers. USA TODAY

Is a new mobile price war about to get underway? If so, Verizon has just fired the first salvo.
On Tuesday, the nation's largest carrier announced it will be restructuring its unlimited data offerings into two new options, "Go Unlimited" and "Beyond Unlimited."
The "Go" plan, roughly $5 per line cheaper than Verizon's current unlimited plan that starts at $80 for one line, will limit video streams to standard definition quality and offer unlimited mobile hotspot data at non-4G LTE speeds (600Kbps, or roughly 3G-equivalent).
The premium "Beyond Unlimited" will be $5 more expensive than the current unlimited plan and allow for HD video streaming (capped at a 720p resolution for phones, 1080p resolution for tablets), calling, texting and data in Mexico and Canada and 15GB of mobile hotspot at 4G LTE speeds. "Beyond" users' data will also take priority over "Go" users at times when Verizon's network is congested.
For a family of four the "Go" plan would mark a savings of $20 per month ($160 per month) compared to the existing unlimited plan, while the "Beyond" option would run an extra $20 per month ($200 per month). Additional lines are available at $40 per line for "Go" or $50 per line for "Beyond."
Both new plans will be available beginning on Wednesday, replacing the current option.
Those with Verizon's current Unlimited plan, which starts at $80 for one line and costs $180 for four lines, will still be able to keep their current plan, plus get an extra 5GB of mobile hotspot data at no additional charge.
Those who don't need unlimited data will still be able to buy Verizon's shared data plans which range from 2GB to 8GB of shared data per month.
A new unlimited war?
When Verizon brought back unlimited data in February it sparked a mini "mobile war" that saw each major carrier refresh their unlimited data offerings in a bid to outdo the other.
New iPhones and the Galaxy Note 8 are expected to launch soon making it a prime time for carriers to try and lock-in customers, as consumers often consider switching carriers when they get a new device.
T-Mobile seems to be in the direct line-of-fire. The nation's third-largest carrier currently charges $160 for unlimited data for four lines for its basic, "T-Mobile One" unlimited plan (with 3G tethering and non-HD video streaming) or $200 for four lines for its premium "T-Mobile One Plus" option (which adds HD video and 10GB of hotspot at 4G LTE speeds).
Both price points match up directly with Verizon's new plans, though it is worth noting that T-Mobile's pricing includes the assorted taxes and fees (a few extra dollars per line, per month that varies based on where you live). Verizon's plans do not.

More: How you can still get AT&T's cheaper wireless plans
Verizon is set to relaunch their unlimited plans in the face of stiff competition from AT&T and Sprint. Video provided by Newsy Newslook
AT&T's cheaper unlimited plan, called "Unlimited Choice," caps data speeds to 3Mbps and does not include mobile hotspot and streams videos in standard definition. At $60 for one line AT&T's option is more affordable than Verizon, though at $155 per month it loses the edge when looking for four lines.
For four lines AT&T's premium "Unlimited Plus" plan still remains a better option than Verizon's "Beyond," offering HD video streaming, 10GB of mobile hotspot and bundled HBO access for $185 per month, though at $85 Verizon is $5 cheaper for one line.
Sprint's unlimited plan is comparable in price to Verizon for existing customers, at $160 for four lines, and includes HD video streaming and 10GB of mobile hotspot. It still offers the cheapest option among the four major carriers when it comes to new customer pricing, charging $100 per month for up to five lines until September 30, 2018.

Home NEWS Theresa May set for Queen's speech – but DUP deal 'certainly not...
Theresa May set for Queen's speech – but DUP deal 'certainly not imminent'
British Prime Minister Theresa May will set out her legislative programme for the next two years in a Queen's Speech today, despite so far having failed to agree a "confidence and supply" agreement with the Democratic Unionist Party.
A DUP source warned that talks with Tories "haven't proceeded in a way that the DUP would have expected" and a deal was "certainly not imminent". The party "can't be taken for granted", the source cautioned. For the first time in decades, a British Prime Minister looks set to go into the event unsure of commanding the level of support among MPs needed to avoid defeat on a programme.
However, it is thought unlikely the DUP would vote down the Government's programme in a way which would risk a fresh general election handing power to Jeremy Corbyn's Labour. Even an abstention by the DUP's 10 MPs would be enough to guarantee Mrs May's survival. The State Opening of Parliament has already been delayed two days following the inconclusive election, and will take place without much of its traditionally lavish ceremony.
Now almost two weeks after the election, the programme set out by the Queen at today's State Opening of Parliament will feature "a number of bills" geared towards making a success of Britain's withdrawal from the European Union, the Prime Minister said. She has promised to work with "humility and resolve", insisting that the rest of government business will not be put on hold during the Brussels negotiations, promising measures to build a stronger economy, protect consumers, tackle domestic violence and fix a "dysfunctional" housing market.
Downing Street sources declined to be drawn on reports that the Speech will ditch headline promises from the Conservative manifesto, such as the scrapping of universal free school meals, means-testing of the winter fuel allowance and reforms to social care funding which were branded a "dementia tax" by critics. In a mark of the importance of Brexit to Mrs May's agenda, the Queen will set out plans not for the usual one year, but for a two-year period taking the Government beyond the expected withdrawal date in March 2019.
Mrs May said the Speech would be about "recognising and grasping the opportunities that lie ahead for the United Kingdom as we leave the European Union" and "delivering a Brexit deal that works for all parts of the UK while building a stronger, fairer country by strengthening our economy, tackling injustice and promoting opportunity and aspiration".
Having called a snap election in the hope of securing an increased majority to deliver Brexit in a "strong and stable" way, Mrs May acknowledged that the outcome was "not the one I hoped for". "This Government will respond with humility and resolve to the message the electorate sent," she promised.
"We will work hard every day to gain the trust and confidence of the British people, making their priorities our priorities." But she insisted there would be no going back on Brexit, pointing out that more than 80% of voters on June 8 backed parties promising to honour the referendum result. "While this will be a Government that consults and listens, we are clear that we are going to see Brexit through, working with Parliament, business, the devolved administrations and others to ensure a smooth and orderly withdrawal," she said.
Mrs May said last year's referendum vote amounted to "a profound and justified expression that our country often does not work the way it should for millions of ordinary working families".
In response, the Government will bring forward measures to build a stronger economy, improve living standards, build a fairer society and fund public services, she said.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is an exciting initiative – provided it is implemented professionally and with integrity. In a recent 'Beijing Forum' organised by NUST, Islamabad, and inaugurated by the president of Pakistan, I stressed the CPEC's potential of having a sustainable and long-lasting impact on the economy of Pakistan if it can become a 'knowledge corridor'.
This will help Pakistan acquire expertise in cutting-edge technologies that are vital for industrial and agricultural development. The entire length of the CPEC needs to be dotted with industrial clusters that need to be accompanied by knowledge clusters so that high-quality research and training can be made available, with a focus on the manufacture and export of high-technology goods.
This will require the establishment of a number of high-level technical training institutions, upgrading of our existing universities and setting up many 'universities of applied science and engineering' (on the 'Fachhochschule' model) that can provide the highly-trained technical professionals needed by the high-tech industries in various fields.
The synergy between the industrial clusters and knowledge clusters should be magnified through the establishment of technology parks, business incubators and provision of venture capital funds for new product development. The private sector in China will need to play a critically important role so that the Chinese government's investment of $46 billion in energy and basic infrastructure can lay the foundations for another $500 billion investment by the Chinese private sector over the next 15 years.
Since a major portion of assistance from China will be in the field of energy, we need to understand where this sector is going and ensure that we benefit from it. The prices of electricity produced from solar energy are now below 3 cents per kWh while those from wind energy technologies are even less than that. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has recently received five bids from international organisations for the third phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum 800MW Solar Park with the lowest bid being US 2.99 cents ($0.0299) per kWh. Similarly Enel Green Power signed contracts for 3.6 cents ($0.036) per kWh in Mexico and 3 cents/kWh ($0.03) in Morocco.
According to media reports, we have established a 100MW solar plant through a Chinese company at a price over 300 percent higher than these rates – at 10 cents per kWh. It is said to be producing only 18MW although we paid for 100MW capacity. If these reports are correct, then the transparency in the bidding process becomes highly questionable. The Pakistan government should have set a maximum acceptable rate for energy of, say 3.5 cents/kWh, and refused bids above these rates.
I was awarded the highest Chinese award (Friendship Award) by the Chinese government and I was also elected as foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I strongly feel that the friendship between Pakistan and China is critically important for both countries and needs to be nurtured by preventing possibilities of corruption in the CPEC project in both countries. We need to establish a 5000MW solar plant in the Cholistan desert and supply electricity to industry at the cost of production plus 25 percent (at Rs4 per unit). This can jumpstart industrial production in Pakistan.
Wind power is another area of strong growth and there have been significant reductions in costs of wind energy technologies. The US has been investing massively in wind power, and since 2007, 33 percent of all new US electric capacity additions are based on wind power, with some $8.3 billion being invested in 4.9 gigawatts (GW) wind power capacity additions during 2014 alone. In a report of the US department of Energy prepared by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the prices offered by wind projects to utility purchasers had reached an all-time low of 2.5 cents/kWh. This has become possible because of improved power efficiencies due to new technologies incorporated in wind turbines.
When I was the federal minister of science and technology during 2000-2002, I had initiated a project through the Pakistan Meteorological Department to collect wind data at different points in the country and at heights of 10m and 30m. The results obtained were startling. There was a huge wind corridor in Sindh in an area lying between Keti Bander, Gharo and Hyderabad as well as on the coastal areas of Balochistan with potential to produce 50,000MW of electricity.
In an energy-starved country, this was like discovering a thousand new oil fields, and we should have set up huge wind power projects that could produce very cheap electricity at a cost of 2.5 to 4 cents per kWh immediately. Unfortunately, the whole project fell prey to corruption and even wind mills of 100MW capacity have not been installed. The price negotiated is also three times higher than the rates indicated above. I advise the government to partner with a suitable company for the manufacture and export of wind turbines, besides using them ourselves. They can be easily manufactured at the Pakistan Naval Dockyard and the Heavy Mechanical Complex.
The two major threats to the CPEC are: externally sponsored state terrorism by countries determined to undermine this important project, and overbidding of prices by corrupt foreign companies in collusion with our government officials. To prevent the CPEC initiative from falling prey to massive corruption, a completely autonomous 'CPEC Development Authority' needs to be established under a group of top professionals of Pakistan, independent of the government, but including representatives of the armed forces.
It needs to be understood that the real challenge for Pakistan is to have a visionary, technocrat government that can help it transition from the clutches of its low-value economy to a high value-added knowledge economy. Such a transition can only occur if the CPEC becomes a 'knowledge corridor' and is not just a road to carry Chinese goods to the Gwadar Port. The CPEC should therefore be renamed as the 'China-Pakistan Economic and Knowledge Corridor' (CPEKC).
