TfL accused of hindering Assembly's scrutiny of Mayor's budget
December 7, 2012 - Martin Hoscik@MayorWatch
Fares will increase by up to 4.2% next month with more increases planned for future years.
A new London Assembly report accuses Transport for London of hindering its scrutiny of the Mayor's 2013/14 budget by refusing to provide sufficient information about fare increases.
The Assembly's pre-budget report says TfL has refused to provide information at "an appropriate level of detail" necessary to allow Assembly Members to "understand the financial and service implications" of the options it puts before the Mayor when he sets fares each year.
TfL's failure to co-operate means "it is impossible for the Assembly to carry out its scrutiny role effectively."
The all-party report says transparency around the fares setting process is necessary because TfL has been set very low levels of budget savings in coming years.
The capital's transport operator has been asked to make savings of just £24 million in 2013-14 and £89 million in 2014-15 from its £8bn annual budget. These savings account for just "1.4 per cent of TfL's budgeted total operating expenditure in those years."
By comparison London's fire authority, which is considering axing fire stations and engines to balance its budget, "has been asked to save £30 million in 2013-14 and £65 million in 2014-15, making up 8 per cent and 16 per cent of its budget in those years."
AMs have also highlighted how previous years have seen Londoners hit with above inflation fare increases only for TfL to receive a windfall when passenger numbers exceeded its forecasts.
Over the past two years this lead to TfL collecting "over £250 million of additional, unanticipated, fare revenue" which was then used to reduce its borrowing ahead of schedule rather than holding down fares in future years.
TfL's recently published draft Business Plan suggests fares will continue to increase by one per cent above inflation each year. The Assembly has been told that for each percentage point fares increase, TfL receives approximately £34 million in additional revenue.
AMs say the Mayor should consider limiting future increases to ease the financial pressure on Londoners and have called on TfL to "set out the implications of living within inflation-only fares rises for the remainder of the Mayoral term."
In addition the report calls for TfL's advice to the Mayor to be made publicly available to allow the Assembly to give proper consideration to his fares decision.
The Mayor's budget will be published in early January 2013 and will then be considered by the Assembly at a series of public meetings.

KIGALI – Rwanda began a week of solemn ceremonies on Sunday to commemorate the lives of 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus murdered during the Rwandan genocide, a three-month-killing spree that began 25 years ago.
As the testimonies continued, counsellors in green jackets hurried through the rows of seats as some members of the crowd wept or screamed. Others took selfies.
In villages across the densely populated country, neighbour turned on neighbour. Men, women and children were hacked to death, burned alive, clubbed and shot.

Premier Rail Systems Introduces New Permanent Guard Rail System
Falls from roof tops, skylights, holes and other openings are a significant hazard, often resulting in serious injury or death. To help prevent this hazard, Premier Rail Systems (PRS) of Kansas City, KS is proud to announce its unique new Permanent Guard Rail System. PRS exceeds OSHA standards 1926.502 for fall protection, is installed without pitch pans insuring a 100% water-tight roof system, incorporates a unique offset upright design to keep workers away from the edge, and installs faster than other permanent guardrail system with no welding or cutting on site. Premier Rail Systems offers the only permanent guardrail system that does not penetrate the roof membrane. The unique design of PRS allows installation under coping caps, drip edges, gravel stop edges, and even gutter edges. For building owners concerned about aesthetics, PRS design allows the exposed bracket below the sheet metal to be custom color matched to the existing building while the uprights and horizontal rails can be safety yellow or a separate custom color choice.
PRS is a passive permanent fall protection system manufactured exclusively by AES Raptor of North Kansas City, MO, a well known leader in fall protection and prevention innovation.
According to the NIOSH (The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), falls are the leading cause of fatalities in the construction industry—in fact, half of all work-related fatal falls in the United States occur in the construction industry. Specific prevention recommendations have included sites-pecific evaluation of potential fall hazards, implementation of fall protection programs, proper erection, maintenance, and use of access equipment; installation and maintenance of appropriate barriers (e.g. guardrails, such as Premier Rail Systems); and proper selection and use of fall restraint and fall arrest systems in situations where exposure to falls cannot be eliminated.
Premier Rail Systems specializes in Permanent Guardrail Systems for commercial and industrial applications and is located in Kansas City, KS. All Premier Rail Systems are manufactured in the United States of America by AES Raptor, LLC of North Kansas City, MO.

Q: How to perform a if statement inside an append method I have a function that shows a pop-up with 8 thumbnails inside. In the pop-up there's a default picked thumbnail.
What I want to do is, in my loop, I want to check the thumbnail rel attribute (1 to 8). If it matches the default picked one, I want to add a selected state.
Code to generate the 8 thumbnails:
jQuery.each(videos[id], function(i, val) {
    $ul.append("

");
});

I also have that variable that contains a number from 1 to 8 (this is the one that should have the selected class)
alreadySelectedThumb[id]

So basically, the logic (in word) is:
Loop trough the video array, if the rel attribute of the a tag is equal to alreadySelectedThumb[id] then add a class selected to that a tag.
Because its in an append function, I have no idea on how to do it.

A: This looks like a job for The Ternary Operator!
jQuery.each(videos[id], function(i, val) {
    var class = (i+1) === alreadySelectedThumb[id] ? 'myClass' : '';
    $ul.append("

");
});

A: One possibility would be to reverse your append call making the new object the return,
var $image = $("

").appendTo($ul);

if(whatever){
   $image.children("a").addClass("selected");
}

It keeps the code neater IMO.

A: I think you're looking for the ternary operators, which is just a part of Javascript (and a lot of other languages).
if (videos[id] == alreadySelectedThumb[id]) {
    something = "FOO";
} else {
    something = "BAR";
}

Would instead be written:
something = (videos[id] == alreadySelectedThumb[id]) ? "FOO" : "BAR";

Which could be inserted into a string assignment like this:
$ul.append("

");

(sorry, that looks really messy to me, but I believe it's what you're looking for)

A: jQuery.each(videos[id], function(i, val) {
    var appendstr ="";
    if(/*select condition is true*/)
     appendstr  = "

"
    else
    appendstr  = "

"
    $ul.append(appendstr);
});

Speech by FATF President at 2020 Chairmanship OSCE-Wide Counter-Terrorism Conference
FATF General
Effective Partnerships against Terrorism and Violent Extremism and Radicalisation that lead to Terrorism
Session 4 - Enhancing Public-Private Partnerships to restrict Logistical and Financial Support to Terrorists and Protect Vulnerable Targets
Speech by
Dr. Marcus Pleyer
FATF President
[As delivered]
Thank you for inviting me today to share with you about the work of the Financial Action Task Force, the FATF, and its contribution to promoting public-private partnerships in combatting terrorist financing.
What the FATF does to combat terrorist financing
The FATF – as an intergovernmental body - sets standards for combatting money laundering, the financing of terrorism and of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. More than 200 jurisdictions across the world have committed to implement our Standards.
They are backed-up in many areas by the legal authority of the UN Conventions and Security Council Resolutions and by strong political support from the G20. But we are not only a standard setting body, but we also evaluate jurisdictions against these standards assessing whether they have implemented the standards technically by introducing the necessary legal and regulatory requirements, but – even more important – assessing whether they have implemented the rules effectively on the ground. If a jurisdiction is assessed below certain thresholds, we publicly identify this jurisdiction on a grey or black list. This sword is a strong motivator for countries to adhere to our standards. We work in close collaboration with nine regional bodies and with partners such as the United Nations and OSCE.
Combatting terrorist financing is a priority of the FATF and we have been leading global action in this area since 2001. All terrorists need money, but terrorist financing takes many forms and exploits different vulnerabilities of the financial system. Combating terrorist financing takes time and expertise. Recognising the challenges faced by countries across the FATF Global Network, we follow a three-pronged approach to strengthen countries' ability to prevent, detect, disrupt, investigate, and prosecute the financing of terrorism.
First, Standards – We develop policy - based on evidence to address risks through the provision of global standards, best practice, and guidance.
Second, Intelligence – We bring together the operational experience of our members to share information on how terrorists raise and access funds.
Third, Enforcement – We hold countries to account for effective implementation of the standards through FATF's programme of mutual evaluations.
Public-private-cooperation plays a role in two ways: First of all, in our own way of work and secondly, in our messages to governments and the private sector. In our own work, the FATF organises annual events such as the Joint Experts' Meeting and the Private Sector Consultative Forum since 2007 to bring together practitioners impacted by the FATF work.
These outreach events provide invaluable opportunities for public sector stakeholders to exchange views on risks and trends; and for private sector stakeholders to discuss and ask questions about new FATF developments. They are vital in promoting continuous partnership. So for example, before FATF set new standards on crypto assets – as the first standard setting body ever – we invited the private sector to our Private Sector Consultative Forum to intensively discuss the policy options on the table.
More importantly on the second issue: our messages to the public and private sector: The FATF has developed a consolidated strategy and an operational plan on combatting terrorist financing, and a key part of this Strategy is to promote more effective domestic coordination and international cooperation; and to improve information sharing. It stresses the ongoing need for better and more timely information sharing between different agencies within each country; between different countries; and between governments and the private sector.
Partnership with the private sector has shown its value repeatedly, and is a key theme running through our Strategy. Under this Strategy, the FATF has published a number of reports emphasising the importance of public-private partnerships.
One example is the Private Sector Information Sharing
Last year, we published Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment GuidanceTerrorist Financing Risk Assessment Guidance
The terrorist threat does not stand still, so neither can we. Going forward, the FATF will focus on a range of initiatives under my Presidency, including Digital Transformation of AML/CFT; Environmental Crime; Illicit Arms Trafficking; and Financing of Right Wing Terrorism, a theme also of this conference. The FATF project aims to improve understanding of transnational links and in particular the domestic and international financial flows with regard to this threat. It will identify common structural characteristics and patterns, recommend best practices to authorities on how to counter this threat, and to raise awareness amongst the public about this issue. All these priorities are all trans-national security issues requiring international cooperation at both public and private levels.
I want to briefly highlight the initiative of Digital Transformation, and use it to illustrate how technological advancements to AML/CFT offers huge opportunities, and that public-private partnerships to use those opportunities could help us to more effectively fight terrorism finance.
Financial institutions have made an unprecedented level of investment in information technology, and there is a huge and growing amount of data, available in real time, which can help authorities identify and disrupt terrorist financing. But Governments have to transform the capability of their financial intelligence units and law enforcement agencies, to make better use of this data that flow in from the private sector.
They need to create an enabling environment where private sector partners can also leverage this information to protect against terrorist financing while maintaining a high level of data protection.
Through this initiative, we will identify regulatory obstacles to the successful adoption of new technologies. We will also identify opportunities for public authorities in the use of digital solutions to facilitate secured, effective, and efficient information sharing between public and private sectors. Undoubtedly, public-private partnerships help enhance the quality and use of the information, thereby allowing stronger understanding of evolving risks, and early detection and investigation.
To conclude, I cannot emphasise enough the importance of public-private partnerships in combatting terrorist financing. Many of us in Europe, the Americas, and the Asia Pacific region have witnessed a number of high profile terrorist attacks in the last few years. The establishment of trust and confidence between public and private sectors is therefore fundamental in this fight against terrorist financing. Public-private partnerships must be established before the need for a terrorist financing investigation arises.
On a final note, I am aware that the OSCE has introduced over the years a wide-range of capacity building initiatives, providing tools and resources to public and private sectors on combatting terrorist financing. We look forward to the OSCE to expanding these programmes to connect stakeholders in public and private sectors in the OSCE participating States. At the same time, the FATF will complement these efforts to step up our training activities across the FATF Global Network.
Thank you the OSCE again for the opportunity to share the work of the FATF, and for your continued support for enabling a more joined-up approach to tackling terrorist financing.
Now, I am looking forward to exchanging views with you. Thank you!
FATF's work on combatting


It's a privilege to us photographers out there that there are a lot of public places that we are able to shoot at. Right? It's like our own outdoor studio that we don't have to pay rent on.
BUT, because (most of the time) it's free for us to use these parks, and trails, and sidewalks as a backdrop for our wonderful photos there are things we MUST DO as photographers, whether you are hired by someone or just out there practicing with your new DSLR.
Now to be fair, some of you might just not know ( or realize you're doing ) some of these things. And honestly, I may have been guilty of one or two of these things at some point. But now you'll know. So here you have it, the 5 things you have to make sure you're doing when photographing in a public place.
This is number one for a reason. It's odd to me how many photographers don't do this. I have to smh a bit every time is see glitter or confetti just left on the ground. It's essentially trash that you're just leaving for someone else to pick up. Same goes for cakes or chalk. Clean it up when you are done. As a general rule to yourself, leave the area how it was when you go there. Make sure it looks like you weren't even there. So yes, you just might have to bring a broom, wipes or a small hand vac with you.
Chances are, if it's a public park or area you think is great for photos, others will too. Certain times of year there will be more photographers out and about. Remember you are sharing these areas with them. Be considerate. Take turns shooting at the "money" spots at these locations (you know which spots I'm talkin' about.) Don't hog up certain areas or set up shop right in the middle of a busy place. Also, and this is a big one…. don't think of these other photographers like your competition, think of them as your peers, so smile and say hello when you see another photographer at the same place as you!
Just like you're going to be kind to the other photographers, remember, that most people are at the public place you are at for another reason besides photography. They're enjoying the day, the park, the trials, or just relaxing. Don't get angry if they accidentally step into your shot or if they're in the middle of a picnic in the grassy area you wanted to be. Let them enjoy the space too.
Just because the place you want to shoot at is public doesn't always mean free. A lot of places that are public may still charge photographers a fee to shoot there. This might by a yearly fee, or a one time permit. If you're unsure, check beforehand.
Be thankful and appreciative that you are able to shoot in so many public places. After every time you shoot somewhere take the time to thank the owner or just internally be grateful for the benefit to shoot somewhere great!

Q: PHP function for looping variable I have this coding :
foreach ($users_id_array[REGION_NORTH_REFID][813] as $key) {

        $query_course = "SELECT ut_lp_marks.obj_id, object_data.title, read_event.spent_seconds, " .
                "read_event.read_count, ut_lp_marks.status, ut_lp_marks.percentage, ut_lp_marks.u_comment FROM ut_lp_marks ".
                "LEFT JOIN object_data ON (object_data.obj_id = ut_lp_marks.obj_id) ".
                "LEFT JOIN read_event ON (read_event.obj_id = object_data.obj_id AND read_event.usr_id = ut_lp_marks.usr_id) ".
                "WHERE ut_lp_marks.usr_id=$key AND object_data.type = 'crs'";

             $set_course = mysql_query($query_course);

                    while($rec_course = mysql_fetch_assoc($set_course))
                    {

                           if ($rec_course['status'] == 0) {

                                $total_regna++;
                            }
                            if ($rec_course['status'] == 1) {
                                $total_reginprogress++;
                            }
                            if ($rec_course['status'] == 2) {
                                $total_regpassed++;
                            }
                            if ($rec_course['status'] == 3) {
                                $total_regfailed++;
                            }

                           // $total_attempt = $total_attempt + $rec_course['read_count'];
                           // $total_spent = $total_spent + $rec_course['spent_seconds'];

                    }
                    $no_test++;
            }

the variable that i used is for each :
813, 945, 835, 777

My problems is my coding right now is only for 1 variable.
How can i used this same code for different variable,do i need to make array or a function? How can i access .. different  $total_regna++;  $total_reginprogress++;  $total_regpassed++;  $total_regfailed++; if i am using 1 code for 4 variable?..

A: You can make an array of these values such as
$values = array('813','945','835','777');

and instead of using for each, you can implode this array values in query.
$query_course = "SELECT ut_lp_marks.obj_id, object_data.title, read_event.spent_seconds, " .
            "read_event.read_count, ut_lp_marks.status, ut_lp_marks.percentage, ut_lp_marks.u_comment FROM ut_lp_marks ".
            "LEFT JOIN object_data ON (object_data.obj_id = ut_lp_marks.obj_id) ".
            "LEFT JOIN read_event ON (read_event.obj_id = object_data.obj_id AND read_event.usr_id = ut_lp_marks.usr_id) ".
            "WHERE ut_lp_marks.usr_id in (".implode(',',$values).") AND object_data.type = 'crs'";

Now while loop will be same.
I think it will be good in your case.

A: $ids=array(813, 945, 835, 777);
for ($i=0;$i<4;$i++){
   foreach ($users_id_array[REGION_NORTH_REFID][$ids[$i]] as $key) {
...

Pennsylvania Governor Reinstitutes State Park, Forest Fracking Ban
By Kenneth Artz
New Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf restored a natural-gas drilling moratorium on state parks and forests fulfilling a campaign promise to environmental activists.
Wolf's act reverses former Gov. Tom Corbett's decision to allow drilling, reinstating a ban Gov. Ed Rendell instituted in 2010.
Wolf said in a January 29 statement, "Natural gas development is vital to Pennsylvania's economy, but so is the economic and environmental viability of our parks and forests. This is about striking the right balance. Our state parks and forests are unique assets that should be preserved, protected, and utilized by our residents for recreational purposes."
Fracking has had a positive effect on Pennsylvania's economy. The natural-gas industry contributed $34.7 billion to the state's economy in 2012, accounting for 5.8 percent of the state's economic activity, according to a study by the American Petroleum Institute. The API study also reports the oil and gas industry in Pennsylvania supports 339,000 jobs, roughly 4.7 percent of the state's total employment.
Between 2011 and 2013 the state Department of Revenue reported Pennsylvania's shale development generated more than $2 billion in state taxes and approximately $630 million in shale impact fees.
Worried About Ban Expansion
John Eick, director of the Energy, Environment, and Agriculture task force of the American Legislative Exchange Council, says Pennsylvania would be killing the goose that lays golden eggs if it expands the fracking ban.
"Thanks to the recent technological advancements associated with hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, the oil and gas industry has flourished in many corners around the country. This energy production has generated economic productivity, created jobs, and brought billions in tax revenue to the states," said Eick.
"One state that has benefitted immensely from developing its natural gas resources is Pennsylvania, which lies in part on top of the Marcellus Shale play. Any effort to stifle drilling in parts of Pennsylvania would unfortunately hinder domestic energy production, reduce economic output, and eliminate well-paying jobs," Eick explained.
Debating Best Uses
In his statement, Wolf said parks across the state host 38 million visitors annually, support over 13,000 jobs, and provide $1.2 billion to the state's economy. "We should be looking for opportunities to grow our recreational and tourism economy through a revitalized parks and forest system that ensures we are preserving our natural resources and protecting our people and the environment," Wolf stated.
Daniel Simmons, vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research, says even the limited ban on drilling in state forests and parks goes too far and is not supported by science.
"The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' well-monitoring program has not found 'any significant impacts' from fracking. Why Gov. Wolf does not trust this state agency is unclear, but it smacks of pandering to pseudo-science," Simmons said.
Isaac Orr, a research fellow at The Heartland Institute, which publishes Environment & Climate News, says he finds Wolf's decision disappointing. "Hydraulic fracturing has an overwhelmingly positive track record in the state, and this decision seems to suggest the governor believes protecting the environment and natural resource development are mutually exclusive activities. They are not," Orr said.

When I got my weekly newsletter today, I had no idea there was a Wine Tourism Day, but hey, why not? North American Wine Tourism day is May 11, 2013 – mark your calendar. I will probably just be traveling to Trader Joe's or Costco on that day for wine, but I plan on participating one way or another! Wine and traveling are two awesome things, so together they are even better! Right now you can go to the Wine Tourism Day website and sign up to win one of five wine country vacations as part of their Great Wine Tour giveaway, including airfare, hotel, dinner, and a day of guided winery visits for two!

Home News He-Man is on his way……….
He-Man is on his way……….
.......no one was more surprised than Skeletor when he realised that He-Man was not wearing any pants.......
It's been 30 years since the cinematic abomination that was 'Masters of the Universe' soiled our screens with Dolph Lundgren strutting around in a pair of leather pants as He Man and Frank Langella wondering what his carer had come to as he growled away behind a latex skeleton mask as the arch enemy Skeletor. He was not the only one, as also in the film was a then unknown Courtney Cox whose career took an upturn in 1994 when she was cast in Friends.
So enough time has gone for the studios to want to reboot the film of the toy and a director, David S Goyer, is already in place. Goyer penned the most recent draft of the script based on the iconic 1980s animated series which was spun-off into "She-Ra: Princess of Power". Although Goyer has a few ropey scripts in his back catalogue including 'Kickboxer 2' he has written significantly better films ranging from the Blade trilogy as well as the story credit for Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and is also involved in the reboot of Terminator.
His story for the reboot follows Prince Adam, who has the ability to transform into a warrior called He-Man. As He-Man, Adam becomes the last hope for a magical land called Eternia, ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor.
No word yet on casting but film is set for a December 18th 2019 release which means we've got a little while before our Editor starts leaping round the office wearing a pair of ill fitting speedos and the cleaner's mop on his head shouting, 'By the power of Greyskull !' (You're fired! – Ed)

Beneficial Pets - Why Animals Make Us Feel Good
Written by	LISA ACHO REMORENKO - Independent.com
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, 37 percent of households in the United States have a dog and 32 percent have a cat. Those who own pets know the feeling you get when a purring cat curls up in your lap or when a dog shakes his entire body to greet you when you walk through the door. Scientists are now validating what these pet owners already knew: having a pet makes you feel better. Research has proven that pet owners have lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels; less stress, depression, and loneliness than those who don't own pets. A study conducted at Kean University in Union, New Jersey, found that people feel better after watching a Lassie movie because of a drop in their cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress. And it's not just cortisol that's affected by animals. Patricia McConnell, a certified applied animal behaviorist, writes in her book For the Love of a Dog, that levels of oxytocin, a mood-affecting neurotransmitter and "feel-good" hormone in the brain, increase by simply petting a dog. Cats also have health-sustaining effects on their owners. A 10-year study at the University of Minnesota showed that those who owned…

Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine was ranked first in the nation for the fourth consecutive time by U.S. News and World Report on March 15. Faculty said the college's innovative training and research programs, reputable clinical hospital and dedicated faculty and students helped the college secure the top spot. Last realeased in 2008, U.S. News rankings acknowledge the best veterinary programs in the nation; since 2000, Cornell has consistently held the top rank. According to Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine Michael Kotlikoff, Cornell's program earned an average score of 4.5 on a scale of one to five. The second ranked school, U.C. Davis, earned a 4.1. The quality of the graduate veterinary program is rated through a peer assessment, which forms the basis of the ranking, said Barbara Knuth, vice provost and dean of the graduate school. "We're very proud of the ranking and the recognition of our peers," said Prof. Avery August, microbiology and immunology. "Rankings attract high quality faculty, which attract high quality students." Additionally, as the college faces potential budget cuts from New York State, faculty said they believe the ranking will help the veterinary program increase its funding. "[The ranking] makes us a stronger…
How to keep your "exercise restricted" pet mentally busy
Written by	Cheryl May
Activities When the veterinarian advises "leash walks only" and "no active play," it can be a difficult prescription to follow for an active, intelligent dog. Here are some things to do with your dog that don't require a lot of physical activity but that do exercise their brains. Scent fun Outside game: I assume your pup can move around a little. So instead of giving her kibble in a dish, scatter it on the ground and let her forage for it. Scatter according to her mobility. I promise you, she'll keep hunting with great interest long after all the kibble is gone. Then she'll fall asleep a happy hunter. (Margie English) Inside game: find the cookies. A similar game to that above, except place hard treats (I use Charlee Bears) around the perimeter of the room, including on top of sofa cushions, behind chair legs, etc. I have used this as a game for rainy days when the dogs could not get to play outside in the morning. It is also a fairly quiet game for a dog that is under restricted activity. Shell game. Use three margarine containers, or other small plastic containers. Turn them all upside down. Place…
Ask your family veterinarian to talk about what he or she has found inside the stomachs of dogs and you will be in for an afternoon of stories. For a variety of reasons, our canine pets seem to enjoy gobbling up the oddest things! Recently, a leading manufacturer of veterinary x-ray products held a contest to find the oddest objects. Some of the winners included another Labrador with 14 golf balls in his stomach, a Boxer with 208 rocks of various sizes, a Pit Bull puppy who swallowed an 11 inch steak knife, and a Pug with expensive taste. The 7-month old pup had swallowed his owner's 2-carat diamond ring! The winner of the dog category though went to the Samoyed who had 8 batteries of differing sizes, from a "D" cell all the way down to AAA, a plastic raccoon, 7 rocks, a marble, 2 broken light bulbs, machine parts, and a variety of staples. Many of these pictures can be seen below. Most amazingly, from the follow up reports, everyone of these pets has done fine and most left their veterinarian's hospital the next day wagging their tails and anxious to head home. What perplexes many owners, and…
As human medicine races toward an ever-expanding horizon of technology, veterinary medicine is running a close second. Advances in human medicine seem to occur on a daily basis as research and new technology bring new possibilities and hope of healing. And veterinary medicine and surgery continues to follow closely behind. Within the past twenty years, new technologies in diagnostics and surgical techniques have made it possible to greatly extend a family pet or animal athlete's life and competitive career. But while these new technologies bring hope, they often come with a high price. And some veterinarians and pet owners are concerned that "hi-tech" with its high cost has taken away from the "hi-touch" that has been a cornerstone of what many deem "the compassionate profession." When veterinarians began practicing just twenty years ago, the scalpel was their main tool in the operating room. Today, laser technology can make it possible to reduce surgical pain and bleeding and shorten surgery time. Endoscopy can retrieve objects from a pet's gastrointestinal tract and bypass surgery all together. Arthroscopes and laparoscopes make joint and abdominal surgeries almost seem like minor procedures. Advances in diagnostics such as ultrasound, echocardiography, and even MRI's are becoming more…

If you are like me--black, coming of age in the 90s, in inner-city America--then you doubtlessly remember than the Crack Age likely takes up significant real estate in your memory. When I consider the years between, roughly, 1986, and 1996, I think of three things--Guns, HIV and Teen Pregnancy. Those (of course along with crack) were the terrors of that period. When those terrors show signs of abating, it is important that the change not go unnoticed.
To wit:
The birth rate for U.S. teenagers fell 9 percent from 2009 to 2010, to 34.3, the lowest level ever reported in the seven decades for which a consistent series of rates is available.
The decline has been most precipitous among black girls. In 1991, there were 118 babies born per thousand black teenage girls. In 2010 there were 51.5. As someone who remembers 1991, a time when at least one girl--and usually more-- in every class was either pregnant or already had kids, this is welcome news.
There is still a racial disparity--though nowhere near what it was. But more importantly progress has meaning. Progress is not an end-point. When you say "We've made progress" you are not saying "We shall now disarm." You are saying "We have won some battles."
I came up in the era when people thought the inner-cities were going to turn into Mad Max. Whatever else has gone wrong, that hasn't happened. That fact does not fit neatly into the black pathology narrative. Or into the notion that somehow every generation of young people are worse than their parents. But it is the truth, nonetheless.

So what does a holiday look like for you? Perhaps for the children, it's a time for fun and games. Perhaps for the adults, it's a time for relaxation and relaxation. Vacation doesn't have to be demanding. We have a couple of tips that will help your trip run smoothly.
Use totally free websites such as Fb or Myspace to satisfy foreign women who match your preferences and fashion. Build up a friendship and let them know when you are coming.
Sedans: Various kinds of sedans are accessible on rent. A individual can attain any kind of car such as a reduced priced car to the luxurious vehicles on a provisional foundation. Usually, the automobiles accessible on rent are new, but there are some rental companies that focus in previous designs which are referred as a rent a car wrecks. The old model cars are usually intended for the customers who have a set budget.
Also be cautious of any ensures those sites advertise to attempt to pull you in. For example, on Orbitz, they say that if somebody publications the exact same flight itinerary as you at a reduce price, they'll refund the difference. While this is technically accurate, there are numerous caveats. Initial, the person that buys it at a cheaper price must also guide it via Orbitz, not any other travel agent or through the airline. While other individuals undoubtedly use the website, how many individuals that are on your flight do you believe also bought it via Orbitz? Perhaps a few will, but not many. The 2nd greatest caveat is that this marketing is only available if you ONLY guide a flight via them. If you do a package offer with a hotel and/or รถเช่ากระบี่, you shed your eligibility on this.
The Grouse Mountain Sky Ride is a big Gondola ride that requires you from the base of Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver up 6,000 feet where you'll enjoy extraordinary views of the lower BC coastal region. In late fall and winter, there is a sky vacation resort in complete operation.
As far as I know, it's as a outcome of there's a larger risk concerned with youthful motorists. The excessive incident fee acquired by some reckless underneath 21 drivers has brought on young motorists from all over immense distress.
If you experience issues or things not as they were promised, stand your ground, need fulfillment, but do it respectfully. The individual throughout the counter is a human becoming too, they're most likely not conspiring to screw you more than and if you deal with them respectfully as a person, as you would want if you had been in their shoes, you would be stunned as to the results and treatment you will receive.

This historic building was constructed in 1935, where it operated as the Dr. Pepper bottling plant for nearly 40 years. The yellow brick building has an Art Moderne façade with streamlined brick pilasters, large plate glass display windows, and an extensive factory space to the rear. The approximate 13,000 square foot building was converted into office space and in 2016, an executive recruiting firm based in Cary, NC moved its headquarters and staff of 70 people to the newly-renovated historic building.


This post documents my experience adding SSL support to my Web applications. Most of the steps here are applicable even if you choose a different SSL certificate provider and/or if you host your Web application on Heroku or Google App Engine.
StartSSL offers free personal SSL certificates. These are not 30-day trials. The certificates will show your name, not a company name, but do give you all the technical benefits of SSL, such as encryption, the ability to run a SPDY server, and the ability to host background pages in Chrome.
The Web UI leaves a lot to be desired, but their pricing can't be beat. You need to perform the following steps.
Most online tutorials have you generate a password-protected RSA key, which cannot be used automatically. Most deployment tools, as well as Heroku and Google Apps, require un-encrypted RSA keys behind your certificates. Use the command below to generate a CSR with an un-encrypted key.
Replace server_name in the command with your server's name. If you want to generate CSRs for other providers, leave out the -batch at the end of the command and carefully answer the openssl prompts.
At the time of this writing, the StartSSL Web UI expects the CSR in a textarea input field, so open server_name.csr and copy-paste its content into the provided textarea.
After the CSR is provided to StartSSL, the .csr file can be deleted. However, hang on to the .pem file storing your server's private key!
StartSSL's Web UI currently provides the server certificate in a textarea on a page that also points to the relevant CA certificates. However, most server software expects all the certificates to be bundled in a single file. Follow these steps to put together the certificate bundle.
First, open cert.cer in a text editor and copy-paste the StartSSL certificate text from the textarea.
Download StartSSL's root CA and intermediate CA certificates.
Last, put together the certificate bundle.
For consistency, replace server_name in the command above with the same name that you used for the .pem file.
If you use nginx as your front-end server, you're in luck. Merge the bits below into your configuration file, and your application should support SSL without any further changes.


Cara Dune is a fictional female Human in the Star Wars film series who was played on screen by actress Gina Carino. Other than a name and screen shot, not much is known about the character Cara Dune. Of what can be gathered is that she may well be the lead female character in the first live action series of Star Wars.


Brown Rice Pidi Kozhukattai / Arisi Kozhukattai – Masalachilli - A Celebration of Indian Vegetarian Cooking, with a twist!
The recipe in discussion here today, the Brown Rice Pidi Kozhukattai, was documented by me atleast 4-5 years ago when blogging was not even the faintest idea I had in mind. Cooking, however, was and continues to be a passion and when group members asked for a recipe, I always had the habit of typing in a word document and then sharing it with them for convenience. Little did I know, that when I would start blogging, well it would be a year this month, all this would come handy. Nothing you do, goes waste – I am a firm believer of that logic!
South Indians proudly endorse all their breakfast specials loaded with carbs. I am one of them, if I may say so, very proud of my traditions and food culture.
Idlis are considered one of the best breakfast in the world when combined with a cup of sambar and chutney. What are the main ingredients of Idli? Rice and Urad Dal. Why then are they considered healthy? They are steamed, use very little oil, have the goodness of carbs, protein, little fat. So, do I hear, Rice is bad for health? Nah! Frankly, don't feed us South Indians some rice for a day, we tend to get cranky or atleast I do.
My Ma always discussed with us about her folks i.e. my grandparents and their eating habits while I was growing up. My grandparents were early risers and as early as 4 am. Well they also slept early, say by 9 pm max.
My Thatha (Maternal Grandfather) woke up at 4 am, had his bath, followed by pooja and then had his first cup of Filter Coffee followed by Tiffin or Breakfast. He then left for work, carried a steel tiffin carrier that had Sambar sadam (Sambar rice), Thayir sadam (curd rice), One curry or poriyal and some papads or pickles on the side.
Some South Indian Tiffin Varieties on the blog, which are interesting and healthy are Uppu Kozhukattai, Ammini kozhukattai, Kollu or Horsegram Paniyarams and Milagu Jeera Adai.
Lunch was around 10 am and the afternoon tea was at 2 pm which was again served with some light tiffin which is either the leftover idlis of the morning turned into upma or fresh breakfast etc or sometimes it was murruku or thengoyal (the dry deep fried snacks) etc for the kids of the house which my Grand Mother made very well.
By 7 pm, dinner was done and dusted and by 8 pm the kitchen was closed for the day. 9 pm it was time for half a steel tumbler of milk and sugar followed by bed time. My Grandparents never heard of rotis or Chapatis until they shifted their base to Mumbai after Thatha's retirement. The entire food was rice based, they had papads and pickles all home made, deep fried snacks etc but were healthy as a horse.
Difference – They walked from their home to office, my grandmother had to wash clothes with her hands, grate the coconut, idli and dosai batter for a family of 6 people in a stone grinder. All meals were freshly cooked as there was no refrigerator for storing the leftovers. Grinding the masala was done on the ammi kal or grinding stone which made her shoulder and arm muscles strong. No Television so no distractions during meal time and the most important thing, no pollution. Such lovely days which my Mom always missed. They didn't have a luxurious life but there was love and good food.
Coming back to the post, the Brown Rice Pidi Kozhukattai is one breakfast or south indian tiffin option that is slightly difficult to make early morning from scratch, as it doesn't involve any dough or batter. However, if you are like me, who goes to any lengths to cook this at home just because they taste delicious, you wouldn't mind the slightly lengthy process.
Trust me, piping hot kozhukattais and unlimited portions of thengai chutney or coconut chutney ensures a great start to the day. Right since childhood, this has been my favourite at home. My mom made these pretty well and unlike me, she was generous with the drizzling of coconut oil and the grated coconut. If she were alive, she would definitely cringe at the fact that there is no coconut in the kozhukattai in my version and would lecture me on how to exercise and not cut down on food. God I miss her constant push!
Since normally they are made with white rice (short grain variety here – Ponni Rice, Sona Masuri or Kolam are good options), the soaking time is around 2 hours followed by the other process as mentioned in the recipe below. Since I used Brown Rice, I have increased the soaking time to 4 hours and it resulted in very soft kozhukattais which no one at home could recognize, apart from the brownish tinge, that they were not made from white rice.
So, if you want to plan ahead and make this without much fuss, opt for bulk soaking, grinding and storing in the refrigerator (stays only for 2 days max in freezer) you can make this very easily. Read the recipe and make it once, I am sure, you will love it!
So, Live a simple life, work hard, be content and eat well – Calories will never do you any harm! It is my Ma's funda and the lady was rarely wrong about things in life.
Serves 2 to 3 nos.
Wash the Brown Rice under running water 2-3 times and then soak it for atleast 4-5 hours.
Drain the water and then spread it on a soft cotton cloth (on the kitchen platform) to drain all the excess moisture. It takes around an hour for the water to drain.
Once the rice has drained all the moisture, grind it in a mixer grinder into a coarse powder and keep aside.
Heat a kadhai or non-stick pan, add oil followed by mustard seeds.
Once they crackle, add chana dal, red and green chillies, curry leaves.
Once the chana dal turns slightly brown, add the 2 cups of water along with salt and allow it to simmer.
Once it reaches a boil, slowly add the coarsely grounded rice while stirring the mixture continuously to avoid lumps.
Keep stirring the mixture until the moisture is absorbed by the rice flour and the mixture reaches a slightly tighter than an upma mixture consistency.
Allow it to cool for 15 minutes before dividing into equal portions, pressing and shaping them into balls.
In the meanwhile, prepare a steamer or in my case, I use a pressure cooker and the greased idli moulds with stand to place the rice balls for steaming.
Steam it for atleast 15 minutes and allow it to cool completely before opening the pressure cooker. Serve it piping hot with chutney and sambar or any accompaniment of your choice.
Since we are always short of time and cannot follow a lengthy procedure for everyday cooking, the soaking and grinding process can be done a day earlier and stored in the freezer for atleast 2 days.
Since it is coarse rice flour and not finely powdered, the mixture tends to get spoiled fast if kept for longer (even in the freezer). So, this is an ideal weekend meal.
Traditionally, a cup of grated coconut is added along with the rice flour and tastes great. However, since we go easy on coconut consumption too and have paired it with a coconut chutney which balances the taste.
Also, I have used a very small quantity of coconut oil for the tadka or the tempering as it is a steamed snack option and doesn't need too much oil, which is one of the positives about this dish.
You can make this with millets too.
Thank you Sir for stopping by and providing your wonderful feedback. And about the coconut, my mom does the same, add more and trust me it does taste delicious and soft. Do try and let me know how you liked it. Would be happy to hear.
Yay! Glad we both love it!
Thanks dear, happy to hear that.
Nice reading about your grand parents' life back then, it seems to be more or less similar to my grandparents' life as well ! Love your delicious pidi kozhukattai with coconut chutney!!
Aren't we South Indians a bit similar in our routines? especially the earlier generations were very disciplined. Thanks and glad you could relate it and also loved the dish.
Good post Vidya , love your narratives makes it so interesting. The brown rice kozhukattai looks delicious!
I am so glad to hear that from you dear. Thank you and this is the motivation I need from friends like you.
I also get amazed, when I think about our grandparents, they made every meal fresh from scratch with no kitchen appliances for at least minimum 5 people. Nowadays I get tired when I cook three simple meals per day, with the use of all kitchen appliances. I guess, that is the reason they were fit and healthy. I am not a morning person. So my day is totally depends on the time I wake up.
Lovely dish, thank you for sharing. I love the way, you describe the recipes.
Tell me about it Malini, we are such lazy souls who have the latest appliances yet crib about cooking more than 2 things on the menu and these guys cooked for an entire lot and that too not in advance (no freezing or storing). Something to learn and ponder. Glad you like the write ups and this is so encouraging to hear.
Very true, dear 🙂 I shared your recipe on "It's all about Vegetarian / Vegan Food" group on Facebook. Hope you don't mind. I created this group to collect healthy vegetarian recipes. If you are interested, please join.
Why would I mind my dear? Please go ahead and add me, shall be happy to be a part of your lovely group.
Loved reading about your grandparents routine and can so relate to it. Makes me so hungry to see your brown rice Kozhukattai, they look so delicious. I have tried it with rice powder in my recipe here, https://stirringmyspicysoul.com/2017/11/12/spicy-kozhukattai/, it tastes yummy too. I had to figure out a shorter version coz I do not have the time to do it from scratch.Sure to visit your blog again as I see some of my favorite forgotten recipes posted here. Thank you & Happy blogging !
Hey, Yes rice powder is an easy option but I somehow prefer this long method, will check out the recipe on your blog as well though. Thank you for appreciating my work and will keep in touch. Best wishes!
thank you so much dear, yes, healthy twists are certainly interesting.
Thanks dear, you can use a vegetable oil too but then i recommend adding grated coconut say 1/2 cup to 1 cup rice while making the upma mixture. Of if you want to skip coconut as well, just make it simple and serve with chutney. It won't have a coconut flavour and aroma to it without the oil or the grated coconut.
Ok…Thanks a lot Vidya for such amazing information…Will definitely take care of this while making !!
very nice recipe. thank you for stopping by vidya at my space.
thank you and the pleasure was mine as well.
As always, beautiful presentation and delicious recipe!
thanks so much Diane for your kind words.
Thanks dear. The newspaper was a last minute addition and I loved it too.
Love the picture, too – love how it is very everyday, yet gorgeous!
Thank you Priya. I try and use all possible healthy produce that's within my budget and great for everyday consumption. Brown Rice helps you stay full and I tend to use it more during the first half as its full of fibre. The main meals include hand pound rice or sometimes the simple and basic white rice too. Glad you liked the concept and styling. Thanks so much.

David Cioe's Echo in Eternity
Before General Maximus leads his army into battle in Gladiator, he reminds them, "What we do in life, echoes in eternity." Now that David Cioe is a member of the John F. Malley Society, he wants others to remember Maximus' words as well.
"There is no easier way to know that your efforts and your donation will be everlasting," Cioe says.
Cioe has been an Elk for more than 40 years, continuously supporting the ENF as a monthly recurring donor in the ENF Fidelity Club and was the ENF Fundraising Chair for his State of Rhode Island. He's currently the State President and also a member of the Grand Lodge Committee. By being so involved in the ENF, Cioe has seen where donors' dollars go and what programs are doing to help veterans, children and community members.
"I have seen the wonderful things that can happen when funding through grants is received and used," Cioe says. "It's nice to see 100 percent of your efforts go directly to the needs of the community and know you're making a difference."
Cioe is especially invested in the East Bay Cares Impact Grant project through Bristol County, R.I., Lodge No. 1860. Elks, volunteers and community members work year-round to provide local pantries with food. This type of dedication motivated Cioe to take his philanthropy to the next level. He joined the John F. Malley Society, a program that recognizes individuals who plan gifts to the Foundation, for two reasons:
1. He believes in the programs the ENF supports, and he loves knowing that his donation will go toward supporting those programs in the future.
2. He knows that when he is gone, he will continue supporting the ENF.
"It's a great feeling knowing that you can support the ENF's causes forever," Cioe says.
Cioe believes that first and foremost, life is all about helping others. In addition to developing the friendships he has made with Elks throughout the years, he's also glad he has met people who feel the same way he does about benevolence; people who work together to support worthwhile charitable causes in any way they can.
"I'm proud to be a part of an organization that does so much for our communities," Cioe says, "helping children, serving veterans, offering scholarship, and so much more. I believe in the ENF and what it does through every program, and I will always want to be a part of it."
Leave your legacy. For additional information about ENF planned giving, please visit ENFPlannedGiving.org. To discuss planning a gift to the Elks National Foundation, please contact Kate Keating Edsey at KateE@elks.org or 773/755-4866.

Jarikre Family
Jarikre Family The Jarikre family first settled in Regina, Saskatchewan on the recommendations of a very close family friend they met in Doha" Qatar.
During the first few years Dr. Lawrence Jarikre was presented with some difficulties with entering into the medical profession in Canada. Although having practiced and being well respected amongst the medical community abroad, his lack of Canadian experience and foreign credentials presented a barrier towards being able to practice in this new country.
Dr. Jarikre had to write Canadian exams. Having to meet the College of Physicians
requirements for entry into the medical profession was daunting but he was able to
overcome this by remaining focused and determined. Nevertheless, by the grace of God,
this transition into the Canadian medical profession was further made possible through
the assistance and support of wonderful fellow practitioners.
Similar to Dr. Jarikre, Alero Jarikre, upon arrival to Canada with the family also had to upgrade her credentials to attain the Saskatchewan Teachers certificate. Alero worked
briefly as a substitute teacher for the school district in Regina. In 2006 She returned to
school, yet again, at the University of Saskatchewan to obtain a Nursing degree. Alero
attributes this decision to the shortage of nurses in the province, at that time. She is
currently practicing as a Registered Nurse with the Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region
and feels very rewarded and fulfilled with the work she is able to do. Alero is also
actively involved within the African and Immigrant community in Regina. From 2O04 to
2008 she served as the president of Daughters of Africa Inc, which is a Non
Governmental Organization that focuses on addressing some of the issues/barriers that African women, both here and in their home countries are facing.
The Jarikres were blessed with four biological children and an adopted nephew.
Ofeoritse, the adopted nephew, graduated from the University of Regina with a Computer Science degree and is currently working for Shaw Cable in Victoria, British Columbia. He has plans to eventually join the police force to do his part towards serving and protecting the community.
Lawrence Jr., the oldest biological child graduated from the University of Regina with a Business / Finance degree and is currently working for the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) as a Regional Investment Administrator in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Jarikre's second born, Ejiro Jarikre has twice graduated from the University of Regina. He first obtained a Kinesiology degree and went back to further obtain a Computer Science degree. He is currently employed by the Regina Catholic School Board where he provides technical assistance to the schools in Regina.
Yinka Jarikre, the Jarikre's third born, graduated from University of Regina with
a Psychology degree and is currently in her third year of Law school at the University of Calgary.
Last, but surely not least, the Jarikre's youngest, Juliet graduated from George
Brown College in Toronto, Ontario and is looking forward to a career as an Event planner in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Jarikre family has made contributions in the areas of academics, law, medicine, the Arts, music, literature, business, sport and civil/public service.
Alero and Yinka are members of the Golden Key International Honour Society. Yinka
was recipient of the Paul Sanford Memorial Prize for having the highest GPA in an
