To mark Trustees' Week 2015, the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland has published ten tips to help all charity trustees ensure they are following their legal duties.
Speaking during Trustees' Week, running from 2 to 8 November, Frances McCandless, Chief Executive of the Commission, highlighted the important role trustees have as leaders of their charities.
However, while celebrating the commitment it takes to be a trustee, Ms McCandless also urged anyone undertaking the role to ensure they had a clear understanding of their legal duties.
She commented: "Being a trustee can be very rewarding, enabling you to play an integral role in a good cause or community activity; however it is important to remember the responsibilities that come with the position.
The Commission's top ten trustee tips are below.
Ensure you know and follow the rules outlined in your charity's governing document.
Keep a list of legislation which impacts on your charity to make it easier to check the charity is up to date and compliant.
Ensure your charity keeps good accounting records.
Read and follow the relevant charity guidance produced by the Commission – it is there to support you.
If you need more detailed assistance, consider seeking advice from a professional or umbrella body.
Ensure all new trustees receive an induction and are subject to relevant trustee checks.
Keep good records of trustee meetings to show how you have exercised governance over the charity.
Keep the charity's governing document under regular review, ensuring policies and procedures are up to date and fit for purpose.
Prepare, prepare, prepare – whether your charity is completing registration or submitting its annual report, ensure you have enough time to read the guidance, prepare the information and submit within the deadline.
Ms McCandless added: "While we don't expect charity trustees to be legal experts, we do expect they will take reasonable steps to ensure they have an awareness of the relevant legislation and best practice requirements.

For en flott weekend opphold!
Positivt overrasket over ved ankomst. Massevis av gratis parkering. Høflig personale, gratis frokost. Etter å ha bodd i sentrale Birmingham Hotel og vi fikk ikke tilbys frokost når som helst det var fint å ha en god frokost.
Hi how much do you charge for a dog? He's a cocker spaniel.
I have no idea.But I don't think it would ethically correct to to put an extra person in the room without informing the hotel.
No they only provide bfeakfast but there is a lovely pub just next door who serve nice food.

Q: PHP Display Multiple Value From One Row For example I have MySQL two tables, Category and Student.
---------------------
| id_cat | name_cat  |
----------------------
|  1     | language  |
|  2     | math      |
|  3     | science   |
---------------------

---------------------------------------
| id_student | name_student | id_cat  |
---------------------------------------
|      1     | Peter Parker | 2, 3    |
|      2     | Tony Stark   | 1, 2, 3 |
|      3     | Bruce Wayne  | 3       |
---------------------------------------

Then I tried with this code line :
$check=mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM student LEFT OUTER JOIN category ON student .id_cat = category.id_cat ORDER BY id_student ASC");
while($data=mysqli_fetch_array($check)){
    $namestudent = $data['name_student'];
    $namecat = $data['name_cat'];
    echo ''.$namestudent.' : '.$namecat.'';
}

But the result is
Peter Parker : math
Tony Stark : language
Bruce Wayne : science
According to table, the right output is
Peter Parker : math, science
Tony Stark : language, math, science
Bruce Wayne : science

A: Issue is your id_cat table in student contains multiple ids which are in string.Single Query will not match all ids in single tuple.
Here its the solution;
 $check=mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM student");
  while($data=mysqli_fetch_array($check))
  {

    $namestudent = $data['name_student'];
    $namecat = $data['name_cat'];
     $checking=explode(',',$data['id_cat']) =>this is give [0]=2,[1]=3,So on.....
     for($i=0;$i=count($checking);$i++)
    {
      $check1=mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM category where id_cat='$checking[$i]'");
      while($result=mysqli_fetch_array($check))
      {
        echo $result['name_category];
      }
     }
   }

Brown Introduces Bills to Ensure Military Gets Paid, Congress Doesn't, if GOP Forces Government to Shut Down
Senator Calling on Republican-Controlled Congress to Keep the Government Open with Short-Term CR for Few Days While Negotiations Continue
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) introduced a pair of bills to ensure that if the government shuts down, members of the military will get paid and members of Congress will not. Brown strongly opposes a government shutdown and is doing everything he can to ensure the government stays open. He has called on Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to keep the government open by passing a short-term continuing resolution for a few days, so Congress can continue working to reach a bipartisan deal. This is a bipartisan idea that was first proposed by Senate Republicans (here).
If McConnell forces the government to shut down by refusing to pass that bill, Brown says members of the military must get paid and members of Congress should not.
"We are very close to a bipartisan agreement, and we owe it to the people we work for to keep working and get the job done. I'm joining Republicans and Democrats who are calling on Leader McConnell to keep the government open and allow us to pass a solution that gives Ohio businesses, military installations and families the certainty they deserve," said Brown. "If Leader McConnell chooses to shut the government down, we must make sure that members of the military are still paid and members of Congress are not. The uncertainty created by Republican leadership is already hurting Ohio businesses, jeopardizing our military readiness, and forcing too many families to live in fear. We cannot let members of our military suffer any further because Washington Republicans refuse to govern."
The No Government No Pay Act withhold the pay of members of Congress during a government shutdown. The Pay Our Military Act would ensure that even in the event of a government shutdown military personnel receive regular paychecks and related benefits.

Q: Make several classes have the same attributes without inheritance I'm facing a problem in Java.
I need to have several classes with the same attributes ( for example a Position and a boolean isWalkable ).
But I don't want these classes to inherit from a class Element because that would prevent me from using inheritance later.
I thought of an interface (so that the interface has the attributes), but apparently you can't have an interface inherit from a class.
There must be a way because otherwise I would have to copy/paste my attributes and there methods.
Thanks in advance for anyone who has an idea on how to overcome this problem.

A: For this, I would consider composition over inheritance.
public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AgentWrapper agentWrapper = new AgentWrapper(new Agent1(), false, 1);
        System.out.println("isWalkable: " + agentWrapper.isWalkable());
        System.out.println("position: " + agentWrapper.getPosition());
        agentWrapper.getAgent().doSomething();
    }
}

interface Agent {
    void doSomething();
}

class Agent1 implements Agent {

    public void doSomething() {
        System.out.println("Agent1");
    }
}

class Agent2 implements Agent {

    public void doSomething() {
        System.out.println("Agent1");
    }
}

class AgentWrapper {

    private final Agent agent;  //Wrapped instance.
    private final boolean isWalkable;
    private final int position;

    public AgentWrapper(Agent agent, boolean isWalkable, int position) {
        this.agent = agent;
        this.isWalkable = isWalkable;
        this.position = position;
    }

    public Agent getAgent() {
        return agent;
    }

    public boolean isWalkable() {
        return isWalkable;
    }

A: You can extend an abstract base class(containing nothing) or You can use the Decorator pattern as somebody suggested in the comments, for more information related to Decorator pattern you can read this  link.

A: I suspect you might need an interface anyway, if you want to treat your objects generically - e.g. loop over all of them and draw each one. E.g. assuming your elements include "cats" and "houses":
interface Element{
   public point getPosition();
   public boolean isWalkable();
}
class Cat implements Element{
   private Point position;
   private String catBreed; // example of cat-specific data
   public point getPosition() {return position;}
   public boolean isWalkable() {return true;} // cats can walk
   ...
}
class House implements Element{
   private Point position;
   private String streetAddress; // example of house-specific data
   public point getPosition() {return position;}
   public boolean isWalkable() {return false;} // houses cannot walk
   ..
}

// Finally, using that common interface:
Element[] allGameObjects= {new Cat(...), new Cat(...), new House(...) };
for(Element e:allGameObjects)
   draw(e, e.getPosition());

That was good enough for several system I wrote... but as other replies correctly mentioned, you might refactor to use composition - however it might not be a 100% clear-cut. I mean, I can understand if you feel Cat or House should be managed independently from their position... but what about isWalkable?
// Position is easy to separate:
class Cat { String catBreed; ... }
class House{ String streetAddress; ... }

class ElementWrapper implements Element{
   Point position;
   Object  theObject; // could hold Cat or House
   public Point getPosition() {return position;}
   // however, isWalkable is a bit tricky... see remark below
}

But 'isWalkable' is tricky because in classic polymorphism you'd expect House/Cat to tell you whether they can walk (meaning they should implement an interface anyway). If you absolutely don't want (or cant) have it, you may compromise on polymorphism and do something in the lines of instanceof (if theObject is instanceof Cat then it can walk, if it's instanceof House it cannot walk, etc).

A: The log shows no real recognizable columns and seems to prepend values with lots of spaces. You could see this as a Fixed-Width table and use my ConvertFrom-FixedWidth function, but the code below should do what you want:
Get-Content -Path 'TheLogFile.log' | Sort-Object @{Expression = { [int]($_.Trim() -split '\s+')[-1] }}

This movie showcases a LOT of incredible talent. Fantastic performances throughout. The movie also is a great story about potential and how people use, abuse or ignore it in themselves. This is a story about students who look like they are all headed for fame and fortune. It shows the pitfalls along the way. We learn that talent is not enough. We also learn that many fall short and give up along the way. As an adult who was a teenager back when this movie first came out, it is a very bittersweet look at potential in us all and has us examine what we did with it in our lives, are we where we thought we would be? Yes, this movie is dated, it is over 20 years old, it HAS to be in some regard. But the story is timeless and will rank among classics of teenage movies and also always have a warm spot in the hearts of adults who grew up in the era. Highly recommended. Would make a great double feature with "Gold Diggers of 1933" just to show contrast and to see how Broadway has changed over the years.

While movie covers four years of high school life ending with graduation in 1979 or 1980, scenes set during characters' freshman and sophomore years include scenes with marquees and signs advertising movies and Broadway plays (Starting Over, Dracula, Evita, etc.) that didn't open until their senior year.
Following the success of the TV series in the UK, an alternate PG-rated version was released theatrically with all of the swearing, sexual and drugs references removed.


A positive story to teach friendship and acceptance of differences.
Who ever heard of a pelican and cat being best friends? Talk about unlikely friendships! Well that's exactly the way it is between Telly and Cat in the Pelican Family. Telly's story tells how it all began when Telly first looked out from his cracked egg and didn't see his pelican family all eagerly waiting for him to hatch. What he did see was the gray cat. And he wobbled right over and snuggled up against Cat's soft fur and fell asleep!
It's a great read aloud! Children love to participate in this story by making the sound of Telly's egg cracking, pretending to be Telly stretching after just emerging from his cramped egg, screeching loudly like Cat to scare the hawk away, and comparing a chicken egg to the actual-sized pelican egg picture at the end of the story. The reader can have fun and get listener attention by using silly and interesting voices to bring the story to life. If you do this, we'd love to have a video or comment about it posted on our Facebook page.

Jewcy Top 10 Fiction Books Of 2010
We admit that 2010 was Jonathan Franzen's year, but there were a bunch of books we liked a whole lot more. Read More
By Juliet Linderman / December 21, 2010
No matter how hard you try and fight it, 2010 will be remembered as Franzen's year. Freedom is the book that everybody talked about whether they were hating on it, or planning on making it the only book they were going to read. Whether it be Oprah embracing him after his public shunning of her endorsement for The Corrections, or Lev Grossman's profile on him making the cover of Time (we talked to Grossman about that here), Franzen left his stamp on all 365 days of the year that was.
We liked Franzen just as much as the next guy, but there were ten works of fiction we liked a whole lot more.
1. The Instructions by Adam Levin (McSweeney's)
We loved The Instructions for reasons beyond the fact that it was over a thousand pages. Levin's book is #1 on our list because it's a debut novel that was epic, ambitious and a hell of a lot of fun to read.
2. The Collected Stories of Deborah Eisenberg by Deborah Eisenberg (Picador)
This was more than a collection, it was a blessing considering that Deborah Eisenberg is possibly the greatest living short story writer in the English language.
3. Everything Here is the Best Thing Ever by Justin Taylor (Harper Perennial)
Justin Taylor is like the Luke Skywalker of Jewish writers: he's the next great hope, and this collection of short stories was a perfect introduction for what might be in store.
4. The Thieves of Manhattan by Adam Langer ( Spiegel & Grau)
Langer, who is on a book-a-year tear, gives us his best work yet with this Thieves. It was hard to put down this highly entertaining and stylish literary caper.
5. The Ask by Sam Lipsyte (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
2010 will hopefully remembered as the year Sam Lipsyte became formerly recognized as one of the greatest fiction writers with this fantastic comic novel. [Read our interview with Lipsyte]
6. The Melting Season by Jami Attenberg (Riverhead)
Attenberg got to the heart of so many different things with this novel: self-liberation, the dynamics of female friendships, letting go, and hitting the open road.
7. Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart (Random House)
Shteyngart gave us the the years best novel on the subject of a future where people don't like books. Encouraging? No. Great book? Yes.
8. What He's Poised to Do by Ben Greenman (Harper Perennial)
What Greenman was poised to do in 2010 was put out this collection of stories (as well as the hilarious Celebrity Chekov) and leave us asking what he's poised to do next?
9. Something Red by Jennifer Gilmore (Scribner)
Family and country are the themes of Gilmore's second novel; how those things can let you down are also themes. [Check out our video interview with Gilmore and Gal Beckerman]
10. Bad Marie: A Novel by Marcy Dermansky (Harper Perennial)
An ex-con attempting to adjust to post-prison life becomes the nanny to a two-and-a-half-year-old. We have to admit that we were lured in by the tag of "wickedly nihilistic," but were sold by the time the book was closed.
Also of note: Witz by Joshua Cohen, Skippy Dies by Paul Murray, A Visit From the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

The Lebanese Jews are traditionally a Sephardi (particularly Mizrahi) community living mostly in and around Beirut[2][3] but also in Sidon[citation needed] and Baalbek[citation needed]. Less than 100 Jews live in Lebanon today[1][2][3] Emigration was not great even after Lebanon's first civil war in 1958, as Lebanese Jews were tightly integrated into society and felt no need to abandon their homeland. But emigration began to increase after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, when Jews began to fear "perpetual instability" in their country.[4] Israel's 1982 invasion and its subsequent occupation of parts of Lebanon, and Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war severely exacerbated emigration.[2] In Beirut, the Jewish quarter of Wadi Abu Jamil suffered devastation as it was situated along the dividing line between the warring Christian and Muslim districts.[2][4]
Almost all of the Jewish community emigrated to Israel or to countries with already well established Lebanese or Lebanese Jewish diaspora, such as France, Switzerland, USA, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Australia and Central and Eastern Europe (particularly Russia and Bulgaria). Paris, New York, and Geneva, Switzerland are cities where many in the Jewish Lebanese Diaspora have settled.[2] Some of the Lebanese Jews who emigrated to Israel would later return as occupying troops during the 1982-2000 Israeli occupation of parts of the country.[5]

In pre-Biblical times, the region between Gaza and Anatolia (essentially modern day Lebanon, Israel, Palestinian Territories, Jordan and Syria) was a single cultural unit. Despite the lack of any central political authority, the region shared a common language family (Northwest Semitic languages, including Phoenician, Ancient Hebrew and Aramaic), religion and way of life. This included some of the world's first permanent settlements arranged around early agricultural communities and independent city states, many of which maintained a wide network of trade relations throughout the Mediterranean and beyond.[citation needed]
By the time of the Israelite Kingdoms, Lebanon and Israel (including present-day Jordan) could be recognized as distinct entities, although they remained close allies, experiencing the same fates with changing regional developments. During this period, parts of modern Lebanon were under the control of Jerusalem, and Jews lived as far north as Baal-Hermon on the slopes of Mount Hermon (sometimes identified with Hasbaya, which once again became an important center of Jewish life in the first half of the 20th century[6]).
According to the Hebrew Bible, the territory of the Israelite tribes of Asher and Naphtali extended into present-day Lebanon as far as Sidon in the north. These tribes formed part of the united Kingdom of Israel and then the northern kingdom of the same name. However, Assyria captured Naphtali in c. 732 BCE and deported its population, a fate which befell the rest of the northern kingdom in c. 723 BCE. The New Testament also refers to Jesus's sojourn around Mount Hermon which appears to take for granted Jewish presence in this locality. Some people also add the locality of Qana (near Tyre in Lebanon) but the Bible clearly avoids confusion by referring to it as "Qana of Galilee".[citation needed]
Following the Bar Kokhba Revolt against Rome in 132 CE, several Jewish communities were established in Lebanon. Caliph Muawiya (642–680) established a Jewish community in Tripoli, Lebanon. Another was founded in 922 in Sidon. The Jewish Academy was established in Tyre in 1071. In the 19th century, hostility between the Druze and Maronites communities led many Jews to leave Deir al Qamar, with most moving to Hasbaya by the end of the century.[citation needed]
In 1911, Jews from Italy, Greece, Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Egypt and Iran moved to Beirut, expanding the community there with more than 5,000 additional members. Articles 9 and 10 of the 1926 Constitution of Lebanon guaranteed the freedom of religion and provided each religious community, including the Jewish community, the right to manage its own civil matters, including education, and thus the Jewish community was constitutionally protected, a fact that did not apply to other Jewish communities in the region.[7] The Jewish community prospered under the French mandate and Greater Lebanon, exerting considerable influence throughout Lebanon and beyond. They allied themselves with Pierre Gemayel's Phalangist Party (a fascist right wing, Maronite group modelled after similar movements in Italy and Germany, and Franco's Phalangist movement in Spain.) and played an instrumental role in the establishment of Lebanon as an independent state.
During the Greater Lebanon period, two Jewish newspapers were founded, the Arabic language Al-Alam al-Israili (the Israelite World) and the French Le Commerce du Levant, an economic periodical which still publishes (though it is now owned by non-Jews).
The Jewish community of Beirut evolved in three distinct phases.[8] Until 1908, the Jewish population in Beirut grew by migration from the Syrian interior and from other Ottoman cities like Izmir, Salonica, Istanbul, and Baghdad. Commercial growth in the thriving port-city, consular protection, and relative safety and stability in Beirut all accounted for the Jewish migration. Thus, from a few hundred at the beginning of the 19th century, the Jewish community grew to 2,500 by the end of the century, and to 3,500 by the First World War. While the number of Jews grew considerably, the community remained largely unorganized. During this period, the community lacked some of the fundamental institutions such as communal statutes, elected council, welfare and taxation mechanisms. In this period, the most organized and well-known Jewish institution in the city was probably the private Tiferet Israel (The Glory of Israel) boarding-school founded by Zaki Cohen in 1874. The school attracted Jewish students from prosperous families like Shloush (Jaffa), Moyal (Jaffa), and Sassoon (Baghdad). Its founder, influenced by the Ottoman reforms and by local cultural trends, aspired to create a modern yet Jewish school. It offered both secular and strictly Jewish subjects as well as seven languages. It also offered commercial subjects. The school was closed at the beginning of the 20th century due to financial hardships.

The Young Turk Revolution (1908) sparked the organization process. Within six years, the Beirut community created a general assembly, an elected twelve-member council, drafted communal statutes, appointed a chief rabbi, and appointed committees to administer taxation and education. The process involved tension and even conflicts within the community, but eventually, the community council established its rule and authority in the community. The chief rabbi received his salary from the community and was de facto under the council's authority.
With the establishment of Greater Lebanon (1920), the Jewish community of Beirut became part of a new political entity. The French mandate rulers adopted local political traditions of power-sharing and recognized the autonomy of the various religious communities. Thus, the Jewish community was one of Lebanon's sixteen communities and enjoyed a large measure of autonomy, more or less along the lines of the Ottoman millet system. During the third phase of its development, the community founded two major institutions: the Maghen Abraham Synagogue (1926), and the renewed Talmud-Torah Selim Tarrab community school (1927). The community also maintained welfare services like the Biqur-Holim, Ozer-Dalim, and Mattan-Basseter societies. The funding for all these institutions came from contributions of able community members, who contributed on Jewish holidays and celebrations, through subscription of prominent members, fund-raising events and lotteries the community organized. In fact, the community was financially independent and did not rely on European Jewish philanthropy.
The development of the Jewish yishuv in Palestine influenced the Jewish leadership, who usually showed sympathy and active support for Zionism. Interestingly, the Jewish leadership in Beirut during this time aligned itself ideologically with the American-Based B'nai B'rith organization through its local proxy (Arzei Ha-Levanon Lodge) which was staffed by local community leaders. The B'nai B'rith lodge in Beirut attracted the social and economic elite. It embarked on community progress and revival through social activism, Jewish solidarity, and philanthropic values. Unlike the Alliance, who mainly aspired to empower the Jewish individual through modern education, the B'nai B'rith strove to empower both the individual and the community as a whole. In Beirut, unlike other Jewish communities, most of the community council members were also B'nai B'rith members, hence there existed an overlap between the council and the lodge. Of course, the Alliance school was popular in the community as it focused on French and prepared students for higher education. Since there was no Jewish high school in Beirut, many Jewish students attended foreign (Christian) schools, either secular or religious. The Jewish community was one of the smaller communities in the country, and hence it was not entitled for a guaranteed representation in the Parliament. Being excluded from Lebanese political life, the Jewish leadership aspired to improve the community's public standing by consolidating and improving the community as a whole. Overall, the French mandate period was characterized by growth, development, and stability.
In the 20th century, the Jewish community in Lebanon showed little involvement or interest in politics. They were generally traditional as opposed to religious and were not involved in the feuds of the larger religious groups in the country. Broadly speaking, they tended to support Lebanese nationalism and felt an affinity toward France. French authorities at the time discouraged expressions of Zionism (which they saw as a tool of their British rival), and the community was mostly apathetic to it. A few community leaders, such as Joseph Farhi, fervently supported the Zionist cause, and there was a level of support for the concept of a Jewish state in Palestine. The Jews in Lebanon had good contacts with those in Palestine, and there were regular visits between Beirut and Jerusalem. Accounts by the Alliance Israélite Universelle, which established schools that most Jewish children in the country attended, spoke of active Zionism while the Jewish Agency lamented the lack of national sentiment. The World Zionist Organization was also disappointed with the lack of more active support, and the community did not send a delegation to the World Zionist Congress.
A young Lebanese Jew named Joseph Azar, who took it upon himself to advance the Zionist cause with other individuals in October 1930, said in a report for the Jewish Agency that: "Before the disturbance of August 1929 the Jews...of Lebanon manifested much sympathy for the Zionist cause and worked actively for the sake of Palestine. They had established associations which collected money for (sic) Keren Kayemeth and (sic) Keren Heyesod." He said that after 1929, the Jews "started to fear from (sic) anything having any connection with Zionism and ceased to hold meetings and collect money." He also said that the Jewish Communal Council in Beirut "endeavored to prevent anything having a Jewish national aspect because they feared that this might wound the feelings of the Muslims." Other sources suggested that such charity work was not so much motivated by Zionism as it was by an interest to help Jews in need.
The Maccabi organization was recognized officially by Lebanese authorities and was an active center for Jewish cultural affairs in Beirut and Saida. The Maccabi taught Hebrew language and Jewish history, and was the focus point of the small Zionist movement in the country. There was also a pro-Zionist element within the Maronite community in Lebanon.
After the 1929 riots in Jerusalem, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was expelled from Palestine and he chose to settle in Lebanon, where continued inflammatory rhetoric against the British and the Zionists. During the riots, some Muslim nationalists and editors of a major Greek-Orthodox newspaper (both of whom saw the fate of the emerging Lebanese state as one within a broader Arab context) sought to incite the disturbances in Lebanon, where until that point most ethno-religious groups were aloof to the forecoming conflict in Palestine. It also seemed to have an effect on the cryptic response given by Interior Minister Habib Abi Chahla to Joseph Farhi when, on behalf of the Jewish community, he requested that they receive a seat in the newly expanded Lebanese Parliament.
Outside of Beirut, the attitudes toward Jews were usually more hostile. In November 1945, fourteen Jews were killed in anti-Jewish riots in Tripoli. Further anti-Jewish events occurred in 1948 following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The ongoing insecurity combined with the greater opportunities that Beirut offered prompted most of the remaining Jews of Tripoli to relocate to Beirut.[9]
1947 onward
Anti-Zionist demonstrations began in 1947 and 1948 but initially showed no harm to the Jewish community. As the Arab-Israeli conflict continued, hostility toward the Jews intensified, especially from the Muslim population. The main synagogue in Beirut was bombed in the early 1950s. and the Lebanese Chamber of Deputies witnessed heated debates on the status of Lebanese Jewish army officers. The discussions culminated in a unanimous resolution to expel and exclude them from the Lebanese Army.[10] The two Jewish army officers were discharged, but a few Jews continued to work for the government.
Most Lebanese Jews had Zionist views and looked favorably at the creation of Israel, but they nevertheless were reluctant to get involved in politics or speak about Israel, lest their Arab neighbors accuse them of treason.[4]
In 2010, work began to restore an old synagogue in Beirut, the Maghen Abraham Synagogue. The synagogue had fallen into disrepair after being bombed by Israel several years earlier. The roof had collapsed and trees and bushes had grown under it. Anti-Semitic graffiti covered the walls of the synagogue, and it reeked of urine.[11] Although Solidere agreed to provide funds for the renovation because political officials believed it would portray Lebanon as an open society tolerant of Judaism,[12] none of the Jews involved in the project agreed to be identified, nor were the non-Jewish construction workers willing to show their faces or be photographed. The international media and even some members of the Jewish community (in and out of Lebanon) questioned who would pray there.[13] The self-declared head of the Jewish Community Council, Isaac Arazi, who left Lebanon in 1983,[2][14] eventually came forward but refused to show his face on camera in a television interview, fearing that his business would suffer if clients knew they had been dealing with a Jew.[15]

Where an appeal from a decree is taken within ten days from the rendition of the decree, it is in time to operate as a supersedeas, and so also if taken within ten days after the decree is settled and signed.
There were two cases upon the docket, with precisely the same caption, one numbered 54 and the other 106.
The case in question was the one numbered 106, which it was moved to dismiss for the following reasons:
"And the said appellee comes into court at the December term thereof, 1857, and moves the said Court to dismiss the appeal in this cause, docketed as No. 106 at the said term upon the ground that there had been previously taken by the said appellants an appeal from the same portions of the decree made below which are appealed from in this cause, and which prior appeal is still pending and undetermined in this Court, and such motion will be made upon the records filed in this cause, and in cause No. 54 on the docket for December term, 1857."

Joe Bonamassa Is Deep In The Blues Again At The Royal Albert Hall

On the cover of Joe Bonamassa's latest album stands a man, alone, in a barren wasteland, his back to the world. It might represent the emotions that went into creating the LP. ("I'm going through some other stuff in my life I didn't expect to be going through," he said at the time. "It's a rising, it's contrition, it's acceptance, it's everything. It's painful, but knowing that there's a rising coming.")
But the image clearly doesn't represent his place in the musical landscape. Bonamassa's not out in the wilderness. Instead, he's beloved enough to play three successive nights at Royal Albert Hall. And people have travelled far and wide to see him, including an older married couple who politely approached him at Los Angeles' airport last week to request he not "fuck up" the performance.
He certainly doesn't. The singer-guitarist and his band put on an exemplary display to celebrate 10 years since he first headlined the iconic London venue. That night of 4 May 2009, he admits tonight, "changed my whole life, changed my whole career".
The proof's in the numbers: in the decade since, he's spent enough time in studios to record 16 albums (six solo, three with Beth Hart, four with Black Country Communion, three with Rock Candy Funk Party) and enough time on the road to release 15 live collections.

More importantly, the proof's in the room: there's just so much love for Bonamassa from the audience and his long-time musicians alike. The result is an emotionally charged atmosphere that infiltrates the entire performance, each song sounding somehow more intense than the next.
Not that he starts off slowly. A high-octane rendition of Muddy Waters' Tiger in Your Tank gets the show on the road, before the 41-year-old virtuoso debuts four songs from new album Redemption.
The brassy King Bee Shakedown absolutely buzzes with excitement, the gritty heavy rocker Evil Mama is a tip of the hat to Led Zeppelin, and Just 'Cos You Can Don't Mean You Should is a modern blues masterpiece built around the interplay between Bonamassa's searing licks and Reese Wynan's warm organ swells that, at one point, develop into a majestic solo.
Reese Wynan of The Joe Bonamassa Band
Even more majestic is Self Inflicted Wounds. Already a highlight of the album, the slow-burning ballad becomes truly visceral in the live arena. Beginning with a single cornet (courtesy of Lee Thornburg) that makes way for an impassioned Bonamassa vocal, it slowly ascends towards a screaming guitar solo and culminates in a soulful showcase for backing vocalists Jade MacRae and Mahalia Barnes that's almost on a par with Pink Floyd's Great Gig In The Sky.
A runaway This Train, kept on the rails by breakneck drumming from Anton Fig, launches a three-song mini-set from 2016's Blues Of Desperation. The swampy title track is the murkiest in his repertoire, pivoting from brooding verses (with Michael Rhodes coaxing eerie sounds from his bass guitar) to gut-punching choruses (with Fig playing with more swing than ever before). And How Deep The River Runs soars on the voices of MacRae and Barnes before stinging with Bonamassa's incisive soloing.

The instantly recognised Sloe Gin heralds a return to some of the blues classics Bonamassa has made his own. Delaney & Bonnie's Well, Well is good-time honky-tonk, BB King's Nobody Loves Me but My Mother adds a touch of gospel (and more fine piano work from Wynans), and sunny John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers favourite Little Girl sounds simply effortless.
Anton Fig of the Joe Bonamassa Band
Most special though is the brass-laden take on Albert King's I Get Evil, and not just because of the duetting between Bonamassa and his two backing singers. He uses the song to introduce 14-year-old local Toby Lee, a guitarist who looks as calm and collected as the man whose name's on the marquee, even during his own solo and the nimble guitar duelling that caps off the funk fest.

The next truly awe-inspiring moment in a night of "how did they just do that?" performances comes during the encore. Bonamassa steps out alone, playing an acoustic guitar for the first time in the show, and proceeds to fly through Woke Up Dreaming as heard on the live album Live At Carnegie Hall: An Acoustic Evening. He tackles the frenetic song with such speed and precision that one's left wanting a slow motion replay to catch up with what's just happened.
It's an experience that can only be followed by the towering Mountain Time. Also played at that first Royal Albert Hall show, tonight the epic is elevated by 10 years of hard-earned experience and an A-grade band who are completely in synch. By the time Bonamassa and his musicians take their final bows, the shared warmth in the room is as undeniable as the singer-guitarist's prodigious talent. Expect an even bigger celebration (six successive nights?) in 2029.

Metals Stocks
Gold ends $5 lower, pressured by falling crude
Published: Feb. 12, 2007 at 4:15 p.m. ET
Polya Lesova
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures closed with a $5-an-ounce loss Monday, suffering a retreat after finishing last week at a six-month high, as falling energy prices and a recovery in the dollar against some major currencies weakened demand for the precious metal.
"Remarks made by the Saudis regarding the lack of need to further cut crude production as the global-oil market is seen as being in 'much better balance'" prompted a drop in oil prices, said Jon Nadler, an investment-products analyst at bullion dealers Kitco.com.
"This in turn motivated some traders to shed a few positions in bullion as the threat of inflationary fallout from energy abated," Nadler said, in an e-mailed note to clients.
Prices for gold are overbought in the short term and they can "correct as low as $650," said Peter Grandich, editor of the Grandich letter, in e-mailed commentary. But "the upside remains its least resistance" and "the surprise can continue to be how fast it reaches $700."
Gold for April delivery closed down 0.7%, or $5, at $667.30 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
On Friday, gold rallied to its highest level in six months, with prices tracking strength in oil. The metal closed at $672.30 an ounce Friday, its strongest level since Aug. 9. It ended up $9.50 for that session to gain 3.2% last week.
"Daily moves like this mini-consolidation, after a 3% increase in one week, will be simply buying opportunities as the gold market continues to get more information about slumping production like the news out this morning from South Africa that year over-year production in December was down 12.4%," said Neal Ryan, director of economic research at Blanchard, in a note to clients.
Crude-oil prices, which have guided gold prices in recent weeks, fell more than 3% on Monday after the Saudi oil minister played down the prospect of further production cuts by major oil producers. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Oil Minister Ali Naimi said the world oil market is in "much, much better health and balance" now. See full story.
On the currency market, the dollar was slightly higher against the yen and euro following the G7 meeting over the weekend. Strength in the dollar typically puts some downward pressure on gold prices. See Currencies.
"The dollar's reaction to U.S. economic data is likely to be a feature in the week ahead, while further oil-price gains will add inflationary support," said James Moore, an analyst at TheBullionDesk.com, in a research note.
Supply-side figures for gold are "showing that Central Bank Gold Agreement banks are averaging only about 3-4 tons per week in sales," said Ryan. "Should this level of selling continue, the CBGA banks will be roughly 40% short of expected sales in 2007."
And the general market still doesn't seem to have taken notice of the fact that more than 41 metric tons of gold were added to central bank reserves in the past few months, Ryan said, "most notably from the continued additions by the Russian bank in the past 6 months and the 22 metric-ton addition by the South African Reserve Bank in January.
"These are the figures we need to get into clients hands," Ryan said.
So, "let others concern themselves with the day-to-day fluctuations of the dollar and inflation. All of that will help support the prices, but we're entering an entirely different paradigm in terms of market supply and demand that has never been experienced in the last few decades," he said.
Other metals prices followed gold lower. March silver fell 1.4%, or 20 cents, to end at $13.715 an ounce following a gain of 4% last week. March palladium closed down $3.90 at $337.75 an ounce and April platinum shed $10.50 to finish at $1,191.30 an ounce.
March copper closed at $2.4775 a pound, down 1.6%, or 4 cents, pulling back after last week's gain of almost 4%.
Supplies of gold inventories were unchanged at 7.487 million troy ounces as of late Friday, according to Nymex data. Silver supplies rose 84,643 troy ounces to stand at 114.84 million troy ounces and copper stockpiles dropped 158 short tons to 36,485 short tons.
In equities trading, shares of metals-mining companies closed mostly lower to after Friday's mixed session to reflect the broad weakness among metals prices.
The Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index XAU, -1.53% finished down 1.1% at 140.07 points and the CBOE Gold Index GOX fell to 145.86 points, a loss of 1%. The Amex Gold Bugs Index HUI, -1.63% fell by 0.9% to close at 336.89 points.
The DJ Wilshire Nonferrous Metals Index closed nearly unchanged at 6,132.35 points. The DJ Wilshire Industrial Metals Index ended at 3,553.57 points, up 0.7%, but the DJ Wilshire General Mining Index shed 0.5% to 1,241.50 points.

Details of Primavera (mk36)
Italian Early Renaissance Painter, 1445-1510 Italian painter and draughtsman. In his lifetime he was one of the most esteemed painters in Italy, enjoying the patronage of the leading families of Florence, in particular the Medici and their banking clients. He was summoned to take part in the decoration of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, was highly commended by diplomatic agents to Ludovico Sforza in Milan and Isabella d Este in Mantua and also received enthusiastic praise from the famous mathematician Luca Pacioli and the humanist poet Ugolino Verino. By the time of his death, however, Botticelli s reputation was already waning. He was overshadowed first by the advent of what Vasari called the maniera devota, a new style by Perugino, Francesco Francia and the young Raphael, whose new and humanly affective sentiment, infused atmospheric effects and sweet colourism took Italy by storm; he was then eclipsed with the establishment immediately afterwards of the High Renaissance style, which Vasari called the modern manner, in the paintings of Michelangelo and the mature works of Raphael in the Vatican. From that time his name virtually disappeared until the reassessment of his reputation that gathered momentum in the 1890s Related Paintings of Sandro Botticelli :. | The Story of Virginia | St Augustine in his Study | The birth of Christ | Trials of Moses | Lament fro Christ Dead (mk36) |
HERRERA, Francisco de, the Elder
Spanish painter (b. ca. 1590, Sevilla, d. 1656, Madrid). Spanish painter. His early works are in the Mannerist style. Under the influence of Francisco Zurbaron, he developed the naturalistic style seen in his four scenes from the life of St. Bonaventure (1627). About 1650 he moved to Madrid. His last documented work, a painting of St. Joseph (1648) influenced by Anthony Van Dyck, features elongated forms and elaborate draperies. He achieved considerable fame in Sevilla, where Diego Velezquez was briefly his pupil.
Albert Joseph Moore,ARWS
181-1893 He showed precocious artistic talent as a child and entered the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1858. His early work shows a Pre-Raphaelite influence common to his generation. The watercolour Study of an Ash Trunk (1857; Oxford, Ashmolean) is very Ruskinian in its precise handling of naturalistic detail. Moore made two visits abroad: in 1859 to France with the architect William Eden Nesfield and in the winter of 1862-3 to Rome with his brother John Collingham Moore. Elijah's Sacrifice (1863; exh. RA 1865; Bury St Edmunds, A.G.), one of Moore's earliest large-scale oil paintings, was executed while he was in Rome. Its biblical subject and sombre tone are typical of his output in the early 1860s and relate to the work of Ford Madox Brown and Edward Armitage.
Abbott Handerson Thayer
American Painter, 1849-1921 American painter and naturalist. He spent his youth in rural New England, where his earliest paintings were wildlife subjects, reflecting his interest in hunting and fishing. While in his teens Thayer achieved some success doing portraits of family pets, which he continued after a move to New York. He attended classes at the Brooklyn Art School and National Academy of Design, but in 1875 he settled in Paris, studying under Henri Lehmann and Jean-L?on G?r?me at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. While abroad he produced landscapes in the Barbizon style and genre scenes, but on his return to New York in 1879

Northwest Pipe Hires New CEO
Welded steel pipe company on Friday accepted the resignation of its CEO and hired a new one as an internal investigation over accounting issues continues.
Apr 2nd, 2010
VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) -- Welded steel pipe company Northwest Pipe on Friday accepted the resignation of its CEO and hired a new one as an internal investigation over accounting issues continues.
Brian Dunham will continue to serve as president and a member of the company's board, the company said.
Replacing him as CEO is Richard Roman, who has been president of private investment company Columbia Ventures Corp. since 2002.
Roman, a board member since 2003, is a member of the board's audit committee. The committee has been leading the internal investigation over accounting matters, including certain revenue recognition practices.
Roman's initial focus as CEO will be to achieve a resolution of the accounting issues, the company said.
The company said hiring Roman will free up Dunham to concentrate on the company's day-to-day operations.
Roman has been president of Columbia Ventures Corp., a private investment company, since 2002.


From party-goers at music festivals to families attending Christmas events, all will benefit from the much needed new Standard in stewarding and crowd safety thanks to BSI Group's British Standards division. This is a benchmark of good practice and the first of its kind for the industry.
This British Standard, called Event Stewarding and Crowd Safety Services (BS 8406), is in line with all health and safety legislation and will assist Local Authorities and event organisers to work with greater assurance in terms of avoiding potential accidents and injuries. It also aims to tackle the frustrating chaos that attendees can suffer from organisers who pay little attention to crowd control. The hope is that Local Authorities make it a requirement when granting a Private Entertainment Licence for large events.
BS 8406 covers a broad range of public gatherings from a Royal parade down The Mall to a city's New Year festival. Importantly, the Standard is not draconian and makes provision for those smaller, charity events where compliance might over burden tight budgets.
What are the benefits of BS 8406?
The Standard provides recommendations for the infrastructure, staffing, operation and management of organisations providing stewarding and safety personnel at either indoor or outdoor events. It also specifies, for companies who provide stewards, the systematic planning for, and supervision of, the orderly movement and assembly of people within any organised gathering of the public, whether on payment or otherwise, in the open-air, or under cover.
Ian Brewer of BSI Business Information, says: "Many local authorities and other event organisers use reputable companies to ensure that health and safety is a top priority when stewarding and managing crowds generally. These are the companies that have really set the standard. However, there are also many companies that don't practice in such a responsible manner, and they will need to comply as the benchmark grows in recognition and importance."
Jon Corbishley, of the UK Crowd Management Association, says:" My organisation represents those practitioners who supply stewards and I am delighted that this Standard has finally been introduced. For many years those reputable and diligent event organisers who have wanted to prove their competence and professionalism can now do so.
"BS 8406 will help the industry because clients will have greater confidence and, hopefully, insurance companies might look upon compliant companies more favourably."

Death & "Death Of A Salesman" By Arthur Miller Essay, Research Paper
Death is such a contradicting situation. It is always a sad event, but in some
perspectives it may or may not be a joyous event. Not to say that death should be
celebrated, just to point out that life may have been a more dramatic experience.
For my first novel in G.T. I read Death of a Salesman, a play written by Arthur
Miller. Arthur Miller was born in 1915, in New York City. His parents were well To do
until the depression. He attended college where he won three drama prizes. Death of a
Salesman was his their Broadway play.
The play Death of A Salesman was an extremely confusing play, it was a dialogue
between a family of people. There were numerous flashbacks used to illustrate things that
happened in the past. The overall purposeof the flashbacks was to describe the situation
that Willy Loman, the main character, was dillusional. I feel that in this the characters of
this book are well described. The author describes Willy was an average man with a
somewhat normal life. His wife Linda is loving and like any woman she sticks by her man.
Happy and Biff are Willy and Linda?s sons. The play takes place when Biff and Happy
come to visit their parentsfor a couple of days.
The play is reality that most books and movies do not display. It shows an average
american family struggling to get by. In the play it is apparent that the characters have
strong dreams and aspirations. It is also obvious that they have not yet succeeded in
accomplishing them. Quite a few events happen that prove, no matter how hard someone
tries, in society things change and it is hard to reach full potential.
The authors of the play puts more reality into the central theme of the play. People
get old and begin to do odd things such as talk to people that are not there or people that
only exists in their minds. Throughout the play Willy would have conversations with
people that he believed were there, but they really were not. Willy strived to be the best
and if he was not successful, then things were not good enough. He was ashamed that his
money supply was not sufficentenough to support his family. The theme changed
throughout the course of the book. I believe the point that he was trying to emphasize
was to never give up and all the barriers in the way will be broken.
This play has taught me the lesson that life is how one individual person decides to
make it out to be. The plays point of view was from two or more characters having a
conversation. The play suggested that in life that certain things have to be completed in
life before death is bestowed upon someone. In this the example was that Willy had to
resolve his long term bad relationship with his son, Biff. The play will help me in my life
because like I have stated that the story or the plot may be fictional, but it could happen in
someone?s life. In other words it is reality.
The word usage for the dialect were elementary and some untasteful words were
expressed. For example the word fool is used several times. Other untasteful words are
used, but they are to untasteful to mention. The stage directions had a larger more
descriptive vocabulary. For example, when describing the house it says ?We are aware
of towering, angular shapes behind surrounding it on all sides.?
The movie that this play reminds me of would have to be a small made for
television only movie called ?The Red Door.? It is a movie about a family of six, a
mother, a father son, and three daughters. The mother, Mary works at a shopping center
and the whole theme of the movie is trying to get past the red door at the local restraunt.
In the play and the movie all of the characters are the average family and they thrive to
succeed in life.
The characters in the movie all correspond with the characters of the play. They
were both set in the past when it was a mans job to do the work and the woman to stay
home. Although, in the movie the mother does work because the father is unable to find
work due to the fact of some crimes he committed as a child. Both the play and the movie
deal very much with the past. In the play Willy?s son Biff has a resentment towards his
father because he commited adultery. Biff was the one who caught him in the act and it
devastated him. In the movie the father had childhood problems which he took out in his
son. In the movie it does have one single set, but it changes like years. When the father
and son grow up there is a strong animosity between them that might make there
relationship be lost forever.
This was an interesting play that had many high points. I enjoyed it and my
favorite part about it was the reality that it displayed. Families really do have problems
and this play illustrated this.

What does it mean to cleanse a space? As everything is energy, everything has a vibration, a flow, a feeling. Energies can shift and move, energies can become stuck. Our homes or working spaces can hold an abundance of stuck energy so it's important to move that energy around and even remove it for fresh energy to come in.
Our bodies are very sensitive to energetic fields, even if in our minds, we aren't paying attention to it. We're constantly reading each other and situations, calculating, weighing in, tuning in, and making decisions based on what we're sensing. Did you know that we can feel the energy in a room next door to us?!? Yes. Through walls. We absolutely can. Our minds and bodies are way more advanced than we're told.
Back to space cleansing... a friend of mine recently moved out of her apartment and into a new one, so we did a cleansing for both spaces. In her old apartment, we cleansed the space by sharing gratitude for all of the experiences she had in it; both positive and challenging. We thanked the space for housing great parties, great company, great love and wished the same for the next occupant. We also asked to remove any and all lingering negativity, resentments, or feelings of dis-ease in the space as to not bring it with my friend to her new place and to not leave it in the space for the next tenant. This ritualistic intention setting aspect to space cleansing can be very potent and immediate.
Shortly after the cleansing, there was a powerful emotional release in conversation among all of us present. Releases often happen during any Reiki session, even space cleansings. These are great! They are powerful. Basically, the cleansing of a space directly affects the energies of the people, or even animals, in the space.
It's important that the spaces we spend the most time in feel safe, feel like home, and ideally, feel like our sanctuaries. We need to find peace and calm so we can rest and heal from daily life. If you are moving into a new home or even moving out, it's a great idea to do a cleansing. It's a reset button. I cleanse my apartment every day. I'll cleanse it to set intentions for the day, to clear negative energy if I have a guest or experience that doesn't feel good, to provide a welcoming and loving environment, or even to be focused and productive. It all depends on what is needed. Space cleansing has become a practical tool for keeping the good vibes ever present in my life and I highly recommend it.

Three, the mobile carrier with 9 million customers in the UK, will block all mobile ads for one day in June
Lara O'Reilly
Three UK chief marketing officer Tom Malleschitz.
Three, the mobile carrier with 9 million customers in the UK, is carrying out a test next month that will see it deploy network-level ad blocking for a group of its customers for one day.
On June 13, customers who have signed up for the trial will see almost no ads for 24 hours when they are browsing the web or using apps on their mobile data signal. (Facebook "in feed" ads will still be displayed.)
It's the first time users will see the impact of the deal Three announced with Israel-based ad blocking company Shine back in February. Shine installs its technology in mobile carriers' data centers in order to block ads at a network level. It has also cut a deal with Three Italy and Digicel in the Caribbean.
The move marks another significant milestone in the growth of mobile ad blocking. Digital publishers and app developers will be watching closely — they stand to lose out on revenue should the trend really kick off.
Speaking to Business Insider, Three chief marketing officer Tom Malleschitz explained the mobile carrier wants to improve the mobile experience by ensuring:
Customers don't pay data charges to receive ads
Their privacy is protected
Their experience isn't "degraded" by excessive, intrusive, or unwanted ads.
How Three's ad blocking plans came about
Three believes that the current mobile advertising model is "broken."
Internal tests so far have shown that ads account for 20% of the data traffic passed over its network — and in some countries that rises to 50%. For a low-income customer who only has a tiny data tariff, those ads could eat into a significant chunk of their monthly allowance. Meanwhile, Three's network is doing heavy lifting to deliver those ads.
PageFair and Adobe
As a marketer himself, Malleschitz is well aware of the problems with irrelevant digital ads. He said:
I want to reach out to the guys who find the ads relevant, not where I'm pissing you off. If I piss you off with my big purple puppet and Will.i.am [ a recent Three ad campaign,] then something is wrong. And if something is wrong, what's the point? I would pay [more] to reach you if I can put my ads forward to people who are getting inspired by [them] and not annoyed. This is basically where we want to be, therefore I believe if I want to be there, then I assume a lot of other companies want to be there. Therefore, the ad industry wants to be there. Even Larry Page said last year that the current ad model is broken. [ You can read what Page said here.]
Three's current ad slogan "Make It Right" was borne out of an internal philosophy: "When it sucks make it right," Malleschitz said. Three saw Shine as a way to begin to right the mobile advertising problem.

Three is owned by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing's Hutchinson Whampoa. Ka-shing is also an investor in Shine, through his company Horizon Ventures, which has also invested in tech companies including Facebook, Airbnb, and Uber.
Every couple of months, Horizon shares with Three a handful of companies the carrier might be interested in working with — either through a face-to-face meeting or by video conference. It was on one of these roadshows that Three met Shine.
Some ads are better than others
It doesn't look as though Three wants to block all ads. As Malleschitz said, he agrees that advertising can work when it is "relevant."
That implies that Three would look to enact some kind of "acceptable ads" procedure, whereby ads that are not likely to aggravate the consumer pass through the blocker.
Adblock Plus has its own "Acceptable Ads Policy" (which has critics,) internet advertising trade body the IAB is trying to work with the industry to create "LEAN" advertising standards that it hopes everyone will adhere to, and Google is also looking to steer its own acceptable ad standard for the industry.
Three is planning on working with a different industry body and publishers on a new set of ad standards. Malleschitz said he couldn't comment on the partner while the negotiations are still ongoing.
Three says it isn't breaching net neutrality laws
We also asked whether regulators might take notice of a mobile carrier deciding which ads are and aren't fit for the web. When the deal was first announced, a "European Parliament source" told Forbes that Three's ad blocking plans would be illegal under the EU's recently adopted net neutrality laws.
Malleschitz dismissed this notion, arguing that the service would not be in breach of net neutrality laws because it is free and "100% consumer choice" — similar to the way it's completely your choice whether you download a regular ad blocker from the App Store.
He added that Three has also been working closely with UK communications regulator Ofcom, which is "happy with the principles" of the plan.
It's still not clear yet what the ad blocking service will be called or when it will launch. After the 24-hour test, Three plans to assess the data and survey the estimated 20,000 customers in the trial on their experience and how it made them feel. Then it will decide where to go next.

The 2016 vintage produced exceptionally intense aromas and flavours in this small lot unoaked Chardonnay. A complex and enticing nose of apples, lanoline, cantaloupe, lemon, brie and thyme extends onto the palate with a good flavour concentration. A hint of sweetness is balanced by crisp acidity, leading to a long finish with integrated alcohol.


None of the above would have been possible without the help of our awesome Athletics families volunteering to help with the Fish Fry.
We ask that families from each team sign up to help during one regular season Fish Fry and one during Lent, 2 per team your child is on. If you're able to help more, we appreciate all the help we can get!
I usually begin prepping right after school. If for some reason I can't be there right away, I will connect with whoever signed up to let them know when I'll be there and what needs to be prepped.
Please just note the time you can arrive in the "comments" field. I know not everyone can arrive early and we can usually get by until 5 but the fish fry during Funfest is busy right at 4pm and some Fridays during Lent get busy sometimes right at 4pm. If you can arrive before, great. If not, we'll still take the help!


This painting was created based on sketches drawn during his stay in Venice in 1833, while inspired by a poem of George Gordon Byron. "The Bridge of Sighs" refers to the arch-like bridge that connects the Doge's Palace on the left and the New Prisons on the right. Once a criminal was given sentence in an interrogation chamber, he/she walked across the bridge and incarcerated into the prison.
