BMSB RISK SEASON 2022-23 | WHAT'S NEW?
Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB)
On Tuesday 23 August last, EWS Group attended an online information session in anticipation of Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) risk season 2022-23. It was organized by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry of Australia and the Ministry for Primary Industries of New Zealand, the departments that are responsible for keeping BMSB out of their respective countries.
BMSB, what is it again?
BMSB is short for brown marmorated stink bug and is an agricultural, horticultural and social pest. This hitchhiker pest originates from Asia and has spread throughout North America and Europe in recent years. It can be found seeking shelter from cold weather in crevices or protected areas of shipping containers, vehicles, boats, caravans, machinery and personal stored items.
The risk of it arriving on cargo and containers in Australia and New Zealand is particularly high between September and April, coinciding with late autumn and winter in the northern hemisphere. The responsible government bodies of Australia and New Zealand require BMSB treatment of certain goods in order to minimize the risk of it becoming a major biosecurity concern.
BSMB treatment
BMSB is an agricultural pest
BMSB treatment needs to be conducted on target high risk goods manufactured in or shipped from target risk countries, exported from 1st September 2022 up to arrival in Australia and New Zealand on or before 30ieth April 2023, and to vessels that berth, load, or tranship from target risk countries within the same period. Approved treatment options include heat treatment and fumigation.
BMSB treatment providers
The information session was attended by treatment providers, both new and renewing, approved to conduct treatments against BMSB under the Offshore BMSB Treatment Providers Scheme. The respective departments informed attendees about the updated measures for the upcoming season and emphasized the key role the industry plays in helping to keep Australia and New Zealand free from BMSB. The measures taken in the past years have proven to be successful.
Updated seasonal measures
Now, in order to maintain successful results, Australia and New Zealand continuously review the measures throughout the season and may make necessary adjustments based on detections of BMSB and changes in the risk pathways. Currently, new seasonal measures for BMSB risk season 2022-23 include the following.
Emerging risk countries – China and UK only
Chapters 39, 94 and 95 will be subject to random inspections for emerging risk countries
A full update can be found under this leading link.
The session was concluded with a big thank you to the industry. It requires teamwork to keep the BMSB out of Australia and New Zealand. And that's exactly what we offer you: teamwork! EWS Group is an approved BMSB treatment provider for both heat treatment and fumigation with a vast experience in the two fields. We would gladly team up with you to make sure your questions about shipment to Australia and New Zealand during BMSB risk season are answered and that you are provided with the right treatment and certificates complying with the requirements as set out in the scheme, allowing for carefree shipment.

Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Ready for French GP Fight
Date posted on May 14, 2021
The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team is all set and ready to get to work again this weekend at the Le Mans Bugatti Grand Prix race circuit in France. Weather forecasts predict mixed conditions, so Fabio Quartararo and Maverick Viñales and their crews will have to stay on their toes and be ready to adapt to whatever the track conditions may be.
Quartararo is reunited with his crew for the first time since the successful surgery for Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS or 'arm pump') he underwent at the CH Aix en Provence hospital on the 4th of May. He is looking forward to getting back on the bike and assess his current level of fitness.
Knowing that the Bugatti track suits the YZR-M1's nimble character, the local hero is optimistic that he can make the French fans proud this weekend. He's currently in second place in the standings, 2 points behind the leader, and won't rest until he has reclaimed the top position.
After four rounds, Viñales holds third in the championship standings, 16 points from first. The number-12 rider's goal for this weekend is to pay a visit to the French rostrum again, of which he has fond memories. In 2017 the Spaniard secured a hard-fought premier class win there with Yamaha, and one year earlier he scored a third-place race result.
However, the Spaniard is also familiar with the changeable conditions in Le Mans. He is hoping for an entirely dry or wet GP this weekend, so he can fully concentrate on one set-up of his bike.
The Bugatti Grand Prix race circuit was built in 1965, just a few kilometers from the city of Le Mans. MotoGP made its first visit to the iconic French track in the late sixties, and it remained a fixture until 1996. After some safety modifications, the 4.2km-long circuit was added back to the calendar in 2000. Its layout of five left and nine right corners places the emphasis on late braking, hard acceleration, and rear-end traction, which makes for some great battles.
Massimo Meregalli (Team Director): "We are now heading to France for the race weekend in Le Mans. Usually, we see the French GP as a good opportunity for us. The Le Mans track's lay-out suits our bike and we know both our riders have great affection for this circuit. For Fabio the French GP is a special event because it's his home race. He arrives here fresh from the surgery on his right arm. He is in high spirits and is looking forward to start riding his M1 again on Friday. Maverick scored Yamaha its 500th GP win in Le Mans in 2017. We know he has great speed here, and he also got an extra boost of confidence from the very productive Jerez Test. However, it looks like the weather conditions will play a big part in this GP. We haven't had a wet race so far this season, and the forecasts predict mixed conditions over the course of the weekend, so we have to be prepared."

Fabio Quartararo: "For sure, the way that we ended the Spanish GP was a shame, but the positive thing we take away from it is that we are fast enough to battle for podiums and wins. I've had surgery for the compartment syndrome, and it was successful. I've been training since then, and I'm feeling positive about this weekend. Anyway, it's always nice to go to Le Mans, because it's my home race. I will try my best to be up there at the top again as soon as possible."
Maverick Viñales: "This will be an interesting weekend for us. The positive test in Jerez has given us extra motivation. I'm really curious to see if what we found there works here too, and what we can do this weekend. Le Mans is a track I like. I've had some nice battles there, and usually we are competitive because the circuit lay-out suits our bike. But we also know that the weather can be tricky at the French GP. It tends to change quite often, so we will have to pay close attention to the weather forecasts and make sure we're competitive in every session."

This video is of the very first Far Cry gameplay demo that was prepared over the 6 weeks leading up to E3 2002; where Far Cry was nominated and runner's up in multiple "Best of" categories at the event. An interesting bit of gaming history considering that Crytek went on to become a multi-studio developer and middleware provider, and Far Cry, spawned a number of sequels developed by publisher Ubisoft.
On the project I was promoted to Lead Designer shortly before the tech demo, X-Isle, evolved into Far Cry. The demo may not look like much compared to today's games, but, prior to this demo there was NO gameplay for either project, just raw unproven graphical tech on display. It's something that the video probably fails to do justice to, as it is more than a decade old now and many of the features — including mechanics like sprinting — are now commonplace if old-hat.
Unless you have experience with such things, I'm sure that it will be lost on you just how important it was to develop an actual gameplay demo that had gameplay in order to ensure the success of the title. Especially for an unproven development studio, even if they had what looked to be great technology.
The video was one of the better takes I recorded after playing the demo enough to get reacquainted with its features and quirks — rough edges. Unfortunately I got to know the demo a little too well, and therefore, the encounters with the enemy (AI) are a little too methodical and efficiently dealt with. Too clean and not messy enough — which visually is where the fun is.
I worked on Fallout Tactics primarily as a Level Designer, and also contributed a lot towards the title's game design — why I'm listed as one in the credits rather than as a level designer.
Recently I installed Fallout Tactics and played some with the editor. With it you can stitch together all the tiles that are rendered on screen to create a massive JPEG image of the map — you get an interesting bird's eye view of the maps this way. So, I went through and did this for every map I had contributed a lot towards. Turns out that many of the levels for Fallout Tactics are either largely my own work or I contributed a lot towards them. Which came as a bit of a surprise to me.
I thought I'd upload one map image-set here — Mission 16, Newton — with the various levels occluded. Though, the maps aren't made up of individual layers but rather individual tiles, as you can see with the first image. Tiles are then grouped together via a tool for occlusion purposes; so for example, you enter a one story building and the roof tiles disappear.
If these images are saved locally and opened up via an image viewer, it's possible to zoom on in to look at the finer details of the map.


Kua'Aina has been a cult burger bar in Hawaii's North Shore for over 40 years. After spending time in Hawaii and falling in love with the grilled sandwiches, burgers and warm 'Aloha' service at Kua'Aina, co-founder Ed Bardos knew there was nothing like it back home.
Having secured the license to bring Kua'Aina to Europe, Bardos and business partner, Paul De Francisci launched their first restaurant in Carnaby Street.
Mystery was originally engaged after the initial launch to adapt the Kua 'Aina brand for the UK market, further developing and defining the brand vision, identity and interiors concept.
The first store was quickly followed by a second in Goodge Street and following their incredible popularity, the UK team made the decision to take Kua 'Aina to its first site outside of London, in Belfast.
The legendary burger and sandwich restaurant once again asked Mystery to help roll out the brand's concept to Northern Ireland.
Following discussions with the Kua 'Aina team and the proposed Belfast site in the city's Victoria Square shopping centre, it was clear that the Belfast clientele would want more comfort than at the London sites.
While the competition in and around the mall was strong, there was a great opportunity to create a really unique, distinctive destination restaurant that recreated that upbeat, warm and entertaining Hawaiian escape as you'd imagine experiencing on the island.
In an updated, yet retro reflection of the original Kua 'Aina, that launched in 1975, the interior of the Belfast restaurant is a fun, colourful and authentic take on typical 1970s Hawaii, celebrating the "kitchness" of the island in a cool, distressed and urban way.
The ceiling was inspired by classic '70s surf art, with depictions of sunsets using the graphics' lines to represent the sun, sky and surf. These illustrations take you from daytime, where the sun sits above the beach hut banquettes, through to the colourful sunset above the bar, which flows down the wall to represent the cocktail party hour.
Materials are inspired by the sun-bleached, weathered clapboard found on beaches, contrasted with punchy warm neons to capture a cosy, celebratory night-time vibe.
The exterior is distressed, whitewashed timber with a reclaimed feel, while the signage is inspired by classic retro American signage with naked bulbs in open trough letters that make up the logo.
The integrated cinema light box below the main sign is flexible, so that the strapline message can be changed to target customers at different times of the year.
The new Belfast site has quickly won the hearts of its Belfast clientele. According to the Kua 'Aina team, the initial launch period over Christmas was amazing and actually beyond their great aspirations although their biggest guide is the Kua 'Aina experience and how customers feel when they're there, not how many customers they have.
This yard stick has been very positive and the team intend to focus on steady growth to ensure the brand maintains its high standards and ethos of keeping things fun, fresh and local.
Paul Defrancisci, Chief Operations Officer, Kua 'Aina.

I realised I wanted to 'do' science when I was 10 years old. I was dissecting a flower at primary school and was fascinated by how it had an intricate, internal system that I would have otherwise known nothing about. I'm more into humans than plants these days but the principle is the same.
During my undergraduate degree in Medical Genetics, I took an industrial placement year at BJS Biotechnologies to get some real-world experience. I spent my time developing assays for use on their xxpress qPCR thermal cycler. A Bachelor's and Master's degree later and I'm very happy to be working with BJS again but this time as a PhD student and in conjunction with my alma mater, Brunel University in West London. My project is looking into the mTOR signalling pathway in endometriosis and ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has been called the 'silent killer' because the symptoms are often not detected until the later stages of the disease when it's much harder to treat effectively. I know that endometriosis and ovarian cancer have some common deregulations and that having endometriosis is a risk factor for ovarian cancer so I'm looking at identifying biomarkers that could be used to diagnose women earlier.
I don't know where the time went but I'm just about to start my second year which means preparing for my transfer event and starting to think seriously about how I'm going to structure my thesis. I'm still as excited as when I first dissected that flower (now 15 years ago!) and am hoping to keep this blog updated with all the fun things I get up to!

Obituaries January 5, 2021
Kathy Ropp
Jan 5, 2021 Updated Jan 6, 2021
Pastor Leroy Larrimore
GALIVANTS FERRY-A graveside service for the Rev. Leroy Larrimore, 80, will be held Jan. 7 at 2 p.m. in Pee Dee Original Freewill Baptist Church Cemetery.
Pastor Larrimore of Mill Swamp Road went to be with his Lord and Savior on Jan. 4.
Born Jan. 5, 1941, in Britton's Neck, he was a son of the late Mack and Dessie Richardson Larrimore.
Leroy was also predeceased by his wife, Bonnie B. Larrimore; his son, Jerry "Buddy" Larrimore; siblings, Loyd Larrimore, John Edgar Larrimore, Ellie Harrelson, Gladys Hardee and Dorothy Evans; and great-granddaughter, Lexy Larrimore.
Leroy was a loving father, brother and friend to everyone. He loved his family and his church. He loved sitting with one of his angels from heaven, Kenley, telling her about Jesus and how he met his Sugar Babe.
No matter how many times she heard it, she wanted to hear it again and that was a joy for him. Reaching out to lost souls was something he did so well. No hesitation. No shame. Instead with pride and his head held high.
He loved the Lord more than anything. His silver hair was one of his beauty marks. He was the most humble, tenderhearted person we know. He had a way of melting hearts when it came to talking about Jesus. He was the pastor of Pee Dee Original Freewill Baptist Church for 28 years. He has served the Lord since 1962 with all his heart.
He will be remembered for his humbleness and love for Jesus. Although his mind and body became weak in the end, he held on to Jesus. Looking forward to his 80th Birthday was something he spoke of often. He reached his goal and what a Birthday, to get your eyesight back and to see Jesus face to face and to find his sugar babe. It cannot get any better than that.
Our home, church and community will fill the void, but he leaves behind his testimony. Not only did he preach the Bible, but he also lived it. People can walk through your life daily and we forget them, but when they walk across your heart, you don't forget.
Daddy walked across many hearts in his lifetime. He wanted to be remembered for how he loved the Lord when his time came. We can say he has left behind a legacy of loyalty to the Lord that his shoes will be hard to fill. He loved and enjoyed handing out crosses. He stood behind the cross. He will forever be in our hearts and live on thru the lives he touched.
Surviving are his children, Kenneth Larrimore and his wife Pam of Galivants Ferry and Patsy Roberts and her husband Doug of Galivants Ferry; siblings, Randy Larrimore (Ann), Willie Larrimore (Dot), Janice Fay Thomas, Geraline Skipper, Ruth Harrelson (Phillip), Vernise Jordan and Jeanette Harrelson (Charles); 10 grandchildren, Bradley Gray, Kent Gray, Candice Coates, Chase Larrimore, Hillary Anderson, Caroline Springs, Tasha Lee, Alecia Johnson, Courtney Richardson and Buck Larrimore; two stepgrandchildren, Ashley Cox and Brandon Roberts; 25 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild; a number of nieces and nephews; and many other family and friends.
After the service the family will receive friends at Kenny's shop or Patsy's residence.
Due to CDC regulations, social distancing and face mask are required.

From time to time, I have to password protect a post. It is not because I am hiding things from you, or because I don't want you to read things. If something was so private I didn't want anyone but a few specific people to hear it, well, that's what the phone is for.
There are a lot of reasons why I may put a password on a post. One, maybe there is a specific person that I do not want to see the post for one reason or another. Two, and more likely, it is not something I want indexed by search engines or visible to just any old passer by. For example, maybe it is something I do not want a future employer to be able to see some day, or maybe it is something I don't want my family stumbling across for whatever reason.
I've used a password in the past, and I think that once the post was read, it became immediately apparent why a password was necessary. Hopefully, any future passworded posts will make as much sense.
What you need to know about passworded posts though, is that you CAN have the password. I've come across passworded posts and blogs in the past and felt that as just an average reader, I probably wasn't "close" enough to the blogger to dare ask for the password. Trust me, though – if the post is here on my site, and you're locked out of it, all you have to do is ask me. The password is yours. YOU are NOT the reason the post is locked. And you are definitely someone I'd like to read the post, as posts that may require a password are the ones most likely to also require your thoughts an input.
Please go ahead and use any of the methods on the contact page to get in touch with me if you ever need a password for anything on the site. Obviously, the appearance of this page indicates that there will soon be some coming up. Hopefully you won't find it too bothersome to drop me a quick note to let me know you'd like access.
Like I said, Internet – upon reading, the reasons for passwording will be clear. And you are not the reason. So don't hesitate to ask me, because you, Internet, are exactly who I DO want to read it.

If there's anything we've learned over the past 25 years, it's that we all want to be a part of a meaningful story.
To transform the construction experience, and be transformed in the process.
A mission is only words until it's put into action. Here are the key ways that we're living out our mission.
The construction industry gets a bad rap, often for good reason. Our mission is to change this perception by creating great construction experiences, where the process is enjoyable instead of being a necessary evil to get to a finished space. We want to change the way you think about construction.
We believe that our work is transforming us as people, and is challenging us to grow and reach our full potential. We are intentional about seeking out great team members and partners who are driven and passionate about what they do. By investing in people and relationships our work becomes more enjoyable and fulfilling, which carries through to each project we do.
Our work has a greater purpose than profit or personal gain. We have a heart to help those around us, in our own communities and around the world. We do this through our El Salvador "Homes + Hope" project where we send teams to build homes for families in need, and by partnering with charities and organizations that our clients, partners, and team members are passionate about.
Novacom is founded by Wes Drewlo. In his past experiences as a framer, painting contractor, and homebuilder, Wes developed a passion for construction and building things. Combined with his knack for building relationships, Wes builds a foundation of strong partnerships with clients, architects, and trades.
After growing up working in the family business, Wes invites his son Brandon to join Novacom as a Project Manager and partner, and a succession plan is set in place. Bringing his passion for technology and systems, Brandon helps transition Novacom to a new accounting and project management platform that will allow for growth and scale in the years to come.
Novacom moves to a new larger headquarters in Surrey, and expands to Alberta by opening a Calgary office.
Wes transitions to the role of CEO with a focus on estimating and business development, and Brandon takes on the role of President and managing operations. A leadership team is formed to craft a vision for the next generation of Novacom.
The leadership team goes through a journey to distill what we're all about as a company and what makes us different. Through this we decide to change our name to Novacom Building Partners to reflect our focus on partnerships. Our mission is "Transforming Construction", capturing our passion to be a part of transforming the construction experience and being transformed in the process.
Over the years, we've been privileged to build some incredible spaces and to work with great clients and partners.
Despite this, we always had a nagging feeling that something was broken in the industry. Too often we found ourselves in adversarial situations, where project teams were working against each other in a zero sum game. We also experienced the top down hierarchy and where we fell in the pecking order. Even the term "subtrade" made it clear that not everyone was on the same level.
A few years ago we began to notice a shift, where more of our clients were looking for a construction management partner instead of just a contractor. As we began to work in this model, we were empowered to use our expertise to provide ideas and solutions instead of just following instructions. It motivated us to do our best work, and to be an extension of our client and look out for their best interest.
We took this newfound approach into our relationships with trades and suppliers, looking for ways that we could value them as partners too.
This shift towards a partnership approach has transformed our business and how we interact with our partners. We believe that if everyone feels valued for what they bring to the table, they'll do their best work.
In an industry where many construction managers can deliver the same project, we believe the experience and the "why" behind it are more important than ever.

Good morning! Welcome to worship! Did you know that coming to church this morning was a very courageous thing to do? Some places in the world you'd be arrested for that. That hasn't happen in America yet, but one day it might. Never-the-less we've all faced ridicule for doing the right thing or more particularly our love for Jesus and attending church.
Today we look at the story of a courageous young king by the name of Josiah who took a stand. Let me set the stage. If you remember, Saul was the first king of Israel. The people rejected God as their king and wanted a human king like everybody else.
It was a bad mistake, but sometimes God allows us to have it our way. David followed Saul on the throne of Israel and David's son Solomon followed him. Solomon prayed for wisdom to be a good king, a prayer that pleased God, but he didn't use the wisdom God gave him.
He had over 1000 wives and concubines. What an idiot! Many brought their pagan gods and priests with them and Israel became overrun with pagan temples and worship.
When Solomon's son, Rehoboam, became king he messed things up so badly that the nation was split in half. The northern half was called Israel, the southern half, Judah. Over the next 200 years, Israel, the northern half was ruled by 20 kings, all of them bad. In 700 BC the Lord brought the Assyrian army and wiped out the 10 tribes of the northern kingdom. The few that survived became known as the Samaritans.
In the south, the tribe of Judah, where Jerusalem was located, lasted 150 years longer before the Babylonians took them off to captivity. They also had 20 kings, but 6 of these were good. It was the spiritual revivals brought about by 3 of these kings that enabled Judah to survive and each of these revivals began with the rediscovery of God's Word.
The last of the six good kings of Judah was a boy named Josiah. He became king of Judah when he was 8 years old. Josiah's father and grandfather were incredibly wicked. They even forced pagan worship into the temple in Jerusalem. Somehow young Josiah came to know the Lord, maybe it was through his mother or a nurse or a teacher.
2 Chronicles 34 tells us that when the young king was 16 years old, he began to seek the LORD and when he was 20, he began a campaign to purge Judah and Jerusalem of all the pagan altars, shrines, and temples. That was an incredibly courageous thing to do!
Can you imagine the political, financial, cultural pressure he must have faced! How about the threats on his life! Yet, he refused to back down. When he was 26, he began to repair the temple built by Solomon 300 years earlier. During those 300 years, the temple had fallen into neglect and been taken over by demonic worship and the occult.
Young King Josiah raised money and commissioned repair men to restore the temple. One day, in the process of removing construction rubble, the workmen found a scroll buried in the debris. It wasn't just any book. It was the Bible - the first 5 books of the Bible plus the Psalms, Proverbs and probably some of the early prophets.
They dusted it off and brought it to the king. He gathered a few of his faithful priests together and they began to read it. As they did it became apparent how far their nation had drifted from the Lord. You know what it said.
"You shall have no other gods before me" The hills around Jerusalem were covered altars and shrines to pagan gods.
"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." God's precious holy personal name, "Yahweh" that the Lord had given to Moses for his people to call on him in prayer, praise, thanksgiving, had become a swear word on the lips of many people.
"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" The people had abandoned worship, the public reading of Scripture and prayer in favor of serving themselves.
"Honor your father and mother" There was no honor of authority only selfish narcissism.
"You shall not kill" The people attempted to solve their problems by murdering their kings, their babies, each other, and anybody else that got in their way.
"You shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, lie, covet" Rather than morality, the culture had sunk into chaos, depravity, decadence.
Every time God's people have abandoned God's Word in their attempt to be "free", they get just the opposite. Rather than emancipation, they find themselves slaves of their own sinful nature. And that's what had happened in Israel and its still happening today.
But by God's grace, God refuses to abandon us. He raises up prophets, leaders, often from people we would least expect - like an 8 year old boy king named Josiah.
Josiah wasn't a perfect. He was a human, but like King David before him, the desire of his heart was to serve the Lord. He made it his aim to do what God laid down in his Word.
So what can we learn from this boy King who lived so many years ago? Here's the first thing.
1. When he heard the Word of God he responded with repentance and obedience.
But that's not all. The Holy Spirit doesn't convict us of our sin just so we'll be sorry for what we did, the Holy Spirit convicts us so that we can repent, be forgiven and change!
2. He shared what he had learned with others.
This is critical. You really don't know what you believe until you share it, say it, own it, do it whether anyone else follows you or not.
3. The people followed Josiah's leadership. Verse 3.
4. Josiah used the power God had given him to get rid of everything he could that was evil.
The place to begin is our own house. What do you have in your in your house or life that doesn't belong there? Maybe it's books or videos or habits. Are you willing to throw them out? Leave them behind? Ask the Lord to help you clean house, inside and out!
Politicians say, "If I stand up against the cultural trends of the day, I won't get re-elected and then what good can I do then." It's taken the Lord a life time to teach me to stand up like this boy king Josiah. Compromises with evil will never change the world. But faith, honesty, integrity, honesty, and courage will. That courage only comes one place through the Word of God active in our lives.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have that said about us when we die! What will your epitaph be? It wasn't that Josiah wasn't perfect. He was an authentic leader who inspired others to sacrifice as he sacrificed to do what was right and the Lord blessed his efforts.
Jesus said, "Woe to you when all men speak well of you." There will always be some who will hate you because you love the Lord and obey him. I would rather be hated for the right reasons than loved for the wrong reasons. Don't let anyone stop you from doing what is right. Read the Bible, pray, trust Jesus to guide you and God will use you to change the world.

Here's where Germans speak the best (and worst) English
EnglishLanguage and culture

An annual study of English proficiency worldwide shows that Germany has made it back into the global top ten. But which Germans have best mastered the language of the Bard?
After dropping out of the top ten countries for English skills worldwide last year, Germany made a comeback in 2016, an annual study shows.
Germany is now the ninth best country globally for non-native English speakers, according to the English Proficiency Index, released by Education First (EF) on Tuesday.
The report praised Germany for "the huge efforts made to improve class standards" in recent decades, noting that making English an obligatory foreign language had had a large impact on adult proficiency.
Overall Germany was placed in the proficiency band High, meaning that the average German tested had an English standard equal to a B1 level in the Common European Framework of Reference.
Seven countries – led by the Netherlands with a score of more than 72 – were placed in the Very High proficiency band, meaning they had an English standard equal to the B2 level.
When broken down for Germany, the report revealed considerable discrepancies between regions and the sexes.
English standards are best in the northwest of the country, where Hamburg leads the pack with a proficiency level of 64.86 on the index. Bremen and Lower Saxony, both also in the northwest, had the second and third best scores respectively.

Berlin also ranked impressively. Despite having one of the worst education systems in the country, the capital still came fifth out of Germany's 16 federal states.
Saarland, where the state government prioritizes French as the second state language, was the region with the worst English skills, with a score of about 56.
German women, meanwhile, have a more fluent turn of phrase in the global language than their male counterparts, scoring 63.45 on the index in comparison with 59.68 for men.

Adults in the Netherlands were the best non-native English speakers in the world, followed by those in Denmark and Sweden, according to the study. Laos, Libya, and Iraq occupy the bottom of the rankings.
"In a volatile global economy, English proficiency is one of the few skills with proven ability to generate opportunities and strengthen employability," said Christen Bagger, vice president at EF, in a statement.
"It takes a great deal of effort and investment to steer a country or company towards a future with an English-speaking workforce. The EF EPI addresses these challenges and prompts global discussions about the best practices of language education."
The data for this sixth edition of the study was calculated using results from 950,000 test takers who completed three different EF English tests in 2015.

StarCraft II: Revenant wins WCS Singapore Nationals
By Wei-Meng Lee on 30 July 2012 2:20am - No Comments
Flash eSports's Marcus "Revenant" Tan won the US$10,000 prize pool StarCraft II World Championship Series Singapore Nationals after defeating Team Eve's Jason "Yekke" Chan in the all-Zerg grand finals on Sunday.
Revenant went undefeated throughout the tournament and handed Yekke a straightforward 2-0 defeat in the grand finals, which was broken up only by a faulty monitor midway through the second game in the series.
"Rev is probably one of the best, if not the best, Zerg in Singapore, so there's no problem with losing to him, even if it's 4-0," Yekke said, referring to both the grand finals and the earlier winners' bracket match the duo played against each other.
On his part, Revenant did not expect Yekke to put up the strong fight that he did.
"I think Yekke played quite well. His potential was far more than expected," Revenant said.
Flash eSports's Ryan "Kyzer" Low finished third after being eliminated by Yekke 2-0 in the losers' brackets finals. The match was interrupted during each game by a technical fault. In the first game, a near-disconnect caused Kyzer to lose several Mutalisks, and in the second game there was a power outage during a major engagement, forcing a restart.
However, Kyzer said that the technical glitches did not make a significant difference in the final result, and that he got a fair result.
"I don't think me losing my units at that point would have made a difference, because those units were actually deadweight. So other than scouting around the map, they couldn't have done anything else. I think that was his (Yekke's) game to win," Kyzer said.
"When the power went out (during the second match), the engage was not favourable for me, so either way, I don't think I could have won that."
The top three players were all Zerg players.
Revenant won for himself US$4,000 for placing first, Yekke won US$2,000 and Kyzer won US$900. Flash eSports's Bryan "Drake" Sum placed fourth, winning US$500.
The rest of the prize pool was divided among the rest of the top 16 players, with the 5th to 8th placed receiving US$300 each, and the 9th to 16th placed receiving US$200 each.
The final standings are:

……..the United States are engaged, at least since 1984, in remote mind control experiments on Americans. You would certainly serve democracy if your organisation took an action against the ever spreading use of this technology especially in the United States (I have personally counted more than 1000 e-mail addresses of U.S. persons complaining of this problem).
You may be aware that the present U.S. government is systematically working toward the creation of a police state. The use of mind control technology could bring this kind of state to perfection. I have noticed that the number of people complaining of the use of mind control technology against them is accelerating much faster during the presidency of George Bush than before.
The growing number of individuals complaining of use of those technologies against themselves proves that those technologies are getting ready for use in case of war or crisis. Democracy can not be defended without publication of the existence of those means.

Balm Of Gilead
Commiphora opobalsamum
Balsam of Gilead
Balsam Tree
A small growing tree, the balm of Gilead (botanical name, Commiphora opobalsamum) is a member of the Burseraceae plant family and genus Commiphora. This tree usually grows up to a height of four meters (12 feet) and has spreading branches akin to wands. The bark of the tree is reddish-brown. Balm of Gilead bears small and meager leaves that are split into groups of 3.
The flowers of the tree are petite and have a reddish hue. They develop into berries that are of the size of a pea and have a reddish-grey color. During summer, the balm of Gilead tree emanates a resin-like juice that has a sweet fragrance.
Balm of Gilead is one tree which is not only rarely grown, but also very difficult to cultivate. The Turks hold this tree in such high esteem that they have put a ban on its import. In fact, they have been growing this tree since the time of Prosper Alpin, who had authored the "Dialogue of Balm". Royal ladies highly valued an ointment prepared with the resin exuded by the tree. It is highly valued as a cosmetic.
The tree has also been praised in the Bible as well as in the works of famous ancient botanists and physicians like Claudius Galenus (Galen) and Pedanius Dioscorides.
Even the ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs and Turks highly valued the authentic balm of Gilead, which was hauled out from this low growing tree. There was a time when the sweet-aromatic resin of this tree was such extremely precious that the guards kept a vigil over the trees cultivated in gardens adjacent to the Egyptian city of Cairo.
The herb owes its popular name to the Greek term balsamon, denoting 'fragrant oil'. Gilead makes mention of the cultivation of this tree in ancient times on Mount Gilead (according to the Bible, it means the mount of witness or hill of testimony) located in Israel.
The Bible mentions about the balm of Gilead in Jeremiah and Genesis. According to legend, it is believed that this tree was gifted to Solomon by the Queen of Sheba.
In his writings, ancient Roman author and naturalist Gaius Plinius Secundus (Pliny) has recorded that the generals of Vespasian originally introduced the balm of Gilead into Rome. On the other hand, Titus Flavius Josephus narrates that the Queen of Sheba took the tree from Arabia to Judea to gift it to Solomon.
As the tree was cultivated on Mount Gilead for its sweet-scented juice, the tree got its popular name Balm of Gilead. Afterward, the tree was named opobalsamum, its dried out branches was called xylobalsamum and the dehydrated fruit of the herb was christened carpobalsamum.
A 12th century physician in Damascus, Abd-Allatif observed that the balm of Gilead tree actually had two barks – the outer bark being thin and reddish, while the inner bark of the tree is green, compact and having an extremely fragrant.
During the summer heat, the tree emanates a sweet-scented juice on its own in resinous drops. When incisions are made on the bark of the tree, the process of exuding the juice is facilitated.
In fact, the collection of juice is directly related to the humidity in the atmosphere – the more humid the air is, more juice is exuded by the tree. In earlier days, after the oil was isolated from the sweet scenting resinous juice, a process undertaken with extreme confidentiality, it was taken to the stores of the rulers under heavy protection.
Generally, around 10 per cent of oil is yielded from the total amount of juice. Then again, a poor variety of oil is also possibly extracted by boiling the leaves and wood of the balm of Gilead tree in water.
The wood of the balm of Gilead tree is available in small pieces – several types of wood are known to be sold commercially. Although the fresh wood exudes a sweet scent, as the wood dehydrates, it loses its aroma. The wood of balm of Gilead is very rarely found in Europe and America in its pure state. This is one reason why the use of the wood of this tree has been discontinued.
The resinous juice.
When the resin from the balm of Gilead is raw, it is dense, white in color and having a potent aroma. As it is exposed to the air, the liquid resin turns solid, but it remains soluble in alcohol. In earlier days, this tree was highly valued for its fragrance and the royal ladies used it as a beauty aid – cosmetic.
In addition, practitioners of herbal medicine also recommended the balm of Gilead for treating diseases related to the urinary tract. Presently, authentic balm of Gilead is rare and its supplies possibly come from related trees (P. balsamifera) found in North America.
Chemical analysis of the sweet scented resinous juice exuded by the balm of Gilead shows that its major constituents include a cluster of compounds that have resemblance to aspirin or salicylates, which are effective in providing relief from pain as well as inflammation.
The fragrant oil obtained from the resin possesses an expectorant and antiseptic properties. Herbal medicine practitioners prescribe a tincture prepared with the balm of Gilead to cure aching throats, bronchitis and laryngitis. It is also applied externally as a salve and the salicylates present in the tree are known to alleviate inflammation and pain caused by arthritis and rheumatism.
In fact, the same substances that ease pain are also found in the bark of the American poplars. There was a time when these pain relieving substances were taken orally as an alternative for quinine with a view to lower temperatures in fevers.
The balm of Gilead trees are cultivated only in a small part of the globe, especially the regions bordering the Red Sea. This species is mainly grown in countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and Sudan. Although the tree is cultivated rarely and it is quite difficult to grow this species, balm of Gilead has also been introduced into Italy.
Balm of Gilead has a preference for damp soil having a pH of 7. The plants of this species require sufficient sunlight with a view to allow the process of photosynthesis – converting carbon dioxide into sugars in the presence of sunlight. It has been found that some plants of this species require more sunlight compared to others. Therefore, it is best to grow balm of Gilead in full sun.
This tree produces a fluid balm that is cloudy white, dense, grey and scented. The liquid balm turns solid when exposed to air. Chemical analysis of the balm has shown that it encloses a resin that is soluble in alcohol and a principle that has resemblance to bassorin.
The standard dosage of the solid extract of the tree is 5 grains to 10 grains. The tincture prepared with the solid extract should be taken in dosage of one to four drachms, while the dose of the fluid extract is 1 to 2 drachms. The normal dosage of the extract from the balm of Gilead tree bark is 5 grains to 15 grains.
From Nola Slappy
I had a gift from a friend, the balm of Gilead. I was so blessed I had surgery on my right knee. About 3 weeks after my surgery I started applying the oil, my knee started feeling better, thank you Jesus for my healing and the balm of Gilead. I am healed, praise God !
From A Sabry
Balm of Gilead is not difficult to grow from cuttings; it is easily achievable. Balm of Gilead was not successful from seeds though (so far).

Q: Multiple columns joined to a single column SQL Server 2008R2 I have 2 tables that are related each other, Table1 and Table2.
Table1:
ID int IDENTITY Primary Key
Col1 varchar(15)

Table2:
ID int IDENTITY Primary Key
CenterID int
SatelliteID int
Category varchar(15)

Table2.CenterID and Table2.SatelliteID are referencing Table1.ID (foreign key).
The question is, I want to retrieve the data of Table1 with criteria of Table2.CenterID, Table2.SatelliteID, and Table2.Category.
How should I join 2 columns that are referencing the same key?
Here is my code
SELECT ta1.* FROM Table1 ta1
INNER JOIN Table2 ta2a ON ta2a.CenterID = ta1.ID
INNER JOIN Table2 ta2b ON ta2b.SatelliteID = ta1.ID
WHERE ....

A: You can just join Table2 twice once with CenterID and the second time with SatelliteID:
Something like this should work:
SELECT t1.*, t2a.*, t2b.* FROM Table1
LEFT JOIN Table2 t2a ON t2a.CenterID = t1.id
LEFT JOIN Table2 t2b ON t2b.SateliteID = t1.id

A: you can do something like below:
select
    table2.id,
    t1.Col1 as Center,
    t2.Col1 as Satellite,
    table2.category
from table2 left join
table1 t1
on t1.ID= table2.centerid
left join table1 t2
on t1.ID= table2.satelliteid
--- add where criteria here

A: You have to make multiple joins with table two
SELECT *
FROM TableB AS b
INNER JOIN TableA AS a1 ON b.CenterID  = a1.Id
LEFT OUTER JOIN TableA AS a2 ON b.SatelliteID = a2.Id

Add INNER JOIN or LEFT OUTER JOIN this will be according to you requirement.

The Catholic Memorial School campus sits on 12 acres at the corner of Spring and Baker Streets in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. The school is located just a 10-minute walk from the West Roxbury MBTA Commuter Rail Station on the Needham Line and a 10-minute drive from Route 128.
Recent projects have changed the face of the school's facilities, which had remained very much the same since the school was founded in 1957. In the summer of 2017, after three years and more than $2 million, Catholic Memorial School finished extensive renovations, which included a cutting-edge Innovation Lab, an Academic Resource Center and a hydroponic Freight Farm. Now, as the school begins its 60th year, we celebrate the completion of a new Student Commons, Middle School Locker Room, a state-of-the-art Health and Wellness Center, and two 21st-Century classrooms which will provide flexible learning spaces.

The group will continue to meet on the 4th Tuesday in the month from 10.00 till 12.00, in the church.
This year's dates are 24 May, 28 June, 19 July, 23 August (to be confirmed), 27 September, 25 October, 22 November.
The two projects recently started are progressing well and newcomers and/or visitors are always welcome.
Nearly all the wool so far donated has been used. Any further contributions would be very welcome. If you have any to donate but can't get to the meeting, you can get in touch with Dorothy on 640242. The group's current project is red poppies to be made for sale for the British Legion.
The group will be starting new projects soon and we shall announce these in future issues of the magazine. They are always interested to receive wools, patterns etc., and ideas for projects. If you can't get to the meeting, call Jane on 641501.
The idea came about in 2012 when the Moggerhanger Meeting Place & Shop organisers were looking for ways to make more use of the Meeting Place part of the venture at the back of St. John's Church (in Blunham Road). Knit and Natter groups are springing up in many places as knitting became popular again, and it was decided to use the back of the church for a Moggerhanger group to meet regularly when the shop is open in the mornings.
The group meets once a month, on the fourth Tuesday of the month (10.00-12.00), and has many regulars. There are wools, needles and know-how available and people either bring their own projects or come and do a bit of knitting for charity, and perhaps learn to knit in the process. Members have produced work for the Shoe Box Appeal in 2013. Members have also made animals for the village travelling Christmas crib and donated characters for the church Christmas crib.
Tea, coffee, biscuits and friendship are always available and newcomers are very welcome – just come along, join in and have a good time.
This year the group is knitting garments for a charity run by John Law of Moggerberry, Home Farm, Moggerhanger Park, who goes to Moldova every year to take clothes, agricultural and other materials and know-how to people living in extreme poverty. The children in the villages often live on their own because their parents are forced to leave for the big cities to earn, so warm knitwear is especially welcome.
John has has now made a trip to Moldova and successfully delivered the knitted goods. He has suggested that as well as jumpers and cardigans sleeveless pullovers or tank tops would be very useful as an additional layer of warm clothing. He has some photos of the children which, all being well he will show and give us a short talk at our July meeting. He has also promised to bring some fruit locally grown at Moggerberry.
In July, we were visited by John Law who runs 'Moggerberry' a charity which raises funds for a project to help a village in the eastern European country of Moldova. The focus of the charity is to improve the lives of villagers in Moldova through improved agriculture, practical aid and support of a group of children giving a guarantee of education and meals. John extended an invitation to all to visit the farm in Park Road where all income from this undertaking goes directly to support the charity. He once again thanked us for all the warm clothing we have knitted.
John talked about the very harsh conditions in which the people lived and described how many children are left to fend for themselves when their parents went away to work. The Knit & Natter group had given a quantity of jumpers and other knitted garments. John said these were very gratefully received and encouraged members to send hats, gloves, scarves, jumpers (especially for older children), and sleeveless pullovers. They love bright colours and bold designs so it's a good opportunity to use any odd balls of wool. The group has a supply of wool if anyone wishes to help this worthwhile cause.
John said our garments are very much appreciated in Moldova. They would be happy to receive more – scarves, gloves, hats, sleeveless pullovers, larger sizes – anything children of all ages would find useful. Our group has a stock of wools, needles, patterns – and expertise – so why not try your hand at knitting and enjoy a natter too.
Last week there were quite a few on holiday so it was a small gathering but Anne brought the 'Twiddle Muff' she is making (these are useful for occupying people with dementia). The Trauma Teddies which the group have been knitting have now been sent to the charity Step-UK and will be sent to refugee children in Syria. The next Knit & Natter will be on Tuesday 23 August.
John Law of MoggerBerry came to tell us about his Moldova project and to collect the knitwear for the children there which the group had produced. He also told us about a project to build up a collection of irises at MoggerBerry (part of Home Farm, at the gate to the Park). And for a different event he asked the group to knit some bunting!
This was a very snowy day underfoot after snowfalls over the weekend. Nonetheless there was a good turnout with more than nine people who braved the weather to have a good knit!

Midget – If you dream of a midget, this indicates the stunted desires of your life dreams, which you have abandoned or forgotten all about. These dreams may look grotesque to you, especially if you have subsequently come far in your life and made many changes from who you were back there.
However, this dream symbol can also be extremely revealing about the concessions and settlements you have made since your idealistic youth, and is worth paying attention to. In addition, the midget can also be a symbol of repressed desires which you need to acknowledge in order to have peace and happiness within yourself.
Considering The Trilogy of the Rings as the mythological framework in a dream, what would Frodo represent? He carries the burden for Mankind even though he is small. He makes a sacrifice, and is fatally wounded. Are small or midget images in dreams different? Are they unappreciated, disrespected aspects of ourselves which are offering strengths that might help us through life and crises? Are they indicating we dreamers might be carrying some heavy burden and sacrificing ourselves for others?

It's too early to kill reform body
Published 19 July 1992 in The Sun-Herald
The recommendation to disband the Fitzgerald report-inspired Electoral and Administrative Review Commission (EARC) by mid 1993 is, at first glance, entirely reasonable.
EARC has already completed 17 of its 21 prescribed reviews, and by April 1993 it will have presented its last four reports.
Its legacy of state and local government electoral reform and, where implemented, sweeping administrative reform is unparalleled in Queensland's history.
Yet in recommending that EARC disband, its supervising parliamentary committee, headed by Labor MLA Matt Foley, has forgone an historic opportunity to cement the review process's long-term success.
It may be true the Goss Government can rightly boast electoral and administrative reforms, however reform of Queensland's parliament seems where the Fitzgerald reform process is failing.
Hopes of a head-on review of Queensland's constitution, parliament's operation, the issue of an Upper House, and concern about the dominance of parliament by executive government have evaporated with the decision to disband EARC.
This latter issue was pursued at April's conference on Fitzgerald reform by speakers such as Law Society past president Ray Rinardo and CJC chairman Sir Max Bingham who spoke of "the presently untrammelled power of the executive".
At the same conference, the Foley committee's own research director, Ms Janet Ransley, said of this problem: "There is, however, little that has been achieved by way of lasting reform to the uneven balance between the executive and the parliament, and little hint of any intention to achieve such reform."
It appears EARC's parliamentary committee concluded that in a recession this concern is peripheral to the public; that there are more pressing problems to face.
However a newly published book, "The Executive State - WA Inc. and the Constitution", edited by Patrick O'Brien and Martyn Webb, examines in the Western Australian context how executive-dominated governments could cost present and future taxpayers millions of dollars. Its message is especially relevant to Queensland and is a warning for the future.
The committee also missed the chance to recommend action to reform parliamentary standing orders beyond EARC's more piecemeal examinations during its resources of non-government members and parliamentary committees reviews.
It is a chilling fact that the normal vehicle for reviewing standing orders, parliament's Standing Orders Committee, did not meet between 1950 and 1980, and met once in each of the previous two parliaments.
This committee, now meeting annually under chairman Jim Fouras, must press for the reform of question time to bring the Queensland parliament up to House of Representatives standards.
Junior MPs have few opportunities to ask questions in parliament because question time is only an hour per day. Queensland could adopt the federal practice of allowing MPs to ask questions in writing and to receive responses in writing outside of this time.
MPs must also be allowed to ask supplementary questions to counter evasive ministerial responses - to quiz Senator Richardson over the Marshall Islands' affair would be more difficult in the Queensland parliament.
EARC could have also examined the state's archaic, neanderthalic constitution, currently a dogs breakfast of 27 Acts, proclamations, and orders, many of which contradict one other.
In the Privy Council's words, the Queensland constitution is "uncontrolled". Surely this state is entitled to a constitution better than that of a local bingo society's.
The Parliamentary Committee's report further rejected a suggestion that EARC monitor the government's enactment of reform.
This activity could have involved as little as the Commission requesting the Government reply as to why it rejected, altered, or delayed specific recommendations, and for those replies to be documented to allow the community to pursue those issues.
However the committee's report said a monitoring task would cause EARC to become "a participant in the political process" - yet bodies such as the Human Rights Commission do this whenever they comment on a government's human rights record.
Perhaps the most interesting of the report's recommendations is its proposal to replace EARC with a new "Administrative Review Council" to conduct administrative law reform.
Much of EARC's charter has already been delegated to the Electoral Commission of Queensland, the Local Government Commissioner, the Information Commissioner (for FoI), and the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. These can regularly report to parliament.
However this new administrative body, if established along commonwealth lines, would report to the Attorney-General. It is unlike EARC, as there is no requirement for its reports to be tabled routinely in parliament, with the exception of its annual report.
Mr Foley argues such a body needs to be secret as it is involved in cabinet's deliberations. He says its annual report can raise publicly matters of concern that should be aired.
However one wonders if this new structure will again enhance cabinet's power over parliament.
It is obvious and acceptable that EARC was always going to be a temporary commission, but maybe another 12 months may seen outstanding business completed.

LAPD Makes Arrest in 1985 Hollywood Cold Case Murder of TV Director
In Controversy · Hollywood · Hollywood News · News · Television · TV News
The 57-year-old victim Barry Crane was a well-known director and producer of such TV shows as 'The Incredible Hulk', 'Dallas' and 'Wonder Woman'.
Federal and local authorities on Thursday arrested a man they believe brutally killed TV producer Barry Crane back in 1985, Los Angeles police confirmed to Hollywood Insight .
Edwin Hiatt, now 52, was taken into custody in North Carolina by the FBI Fugitive Task Force after detectives with LAPD said they identified him as Crane's killer through DNA evidence.
The 57-year-old Crane, a well-known director and producer of such TV shows as The Incredible Hulk, Dallas and Wonder Woman, was found wrapped in bedding on the garage floor of his North Hollywood home in July 1985. He had been bludgeoned and strangled. His car was also stolen.
On Thursday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office charged Hiatt with one count of murder, police told Hollywood Insight .
Shortly after he was arrested, Hiatt was interviewed on the spot by a North Carolina TV news station. He told the reporter that he had no memory of the slaying and that he was "big into drugs" back then.
Asked if he killed Crane, Hiatt responded: "It's possible. Anything's possible."
Police told Hollywood Insight Hiatt will be extradited to Los Angeles in a matter of days.

By the time this album came out on Mega Records in 1971 all the core members of the Bill Black's Combo that scored a number of instrumental hits in the 1960s were long gone. In fact leader Black had died of a brain tumor in 1965, at age 39.
Black, of course, was the bass player on all the early Elvis Presley recordings for Sun and the first sides that Elvis recorded for RCA Victor.
Black formed his own combo in 1959 and scored a number of instrumental hits, among them Smokie, Part 2, White Silver Sands and Don't Be Cruel.
The band heard on The Memphis Scene is under the direction of producer Larry Rogers, who had opened a Memphis recording studio, Lyn Lou Studio, with Black in 1962. Saxophonist Robert Gladney is the only musician identified on the album, although road manager and bassist Bob Tucker, who joined the combo in 1963 and had taken over leadership of the group after Black's death, likely also was part of this recording.
The Memphis Scene retains the basic sound of the classic Bill Black's Combo of the '60s, but adds a few funk elements as well.
had two distinct phases of his career in which he made a notable mark on early rock & roll music: first as the rockabilly bass player for Elvis Presley and then as a bandleader of Bill Black's Combo, which scored numerous instrumental hits in the early '60s. Such is the way of the world that his most artistically important contributions, as one-third of the rockabilly trio that Elvis Presley fronted at the beginning of his career, brought him much less commercial reward than the far less remarkable hit records under his own name.
Black first recorded for Sun Records in early 1954 as a member of a country band, Doug Poindexter and the Starlite Wranglers, who also included guitarist Scotty Moore. That group issued just one single for Sun, but that was enough to make the talents of Black and Moore known to Sun head Sam Phillips, who put the pair together with Elvis Presley. Under the billing of Elvis Presley, Scotty, and Bill, they put out five records on Sun in 1954 and 1955, which are usually acknowledged as some of the finest rockabilly records ever done and Presley at his most youthfully uninhibited. Black was an important part of the early Presley sound with his slap stand-up bass and ebullient onstage manner.
Black and Moore continued to work with Presley until 1958, leaving his band in large part due to disputes over financial terms. Black and Moore had taken one-quarter of the royalties at the outset of Presley's career, but even after Presley had rocketed to stardom with RCA starting in 1956, they were on a mere 200 dollars/week wage. Although Moore would eventually work with Presley again, Black never did, joining a Memphis group that evolved into Bill Black's Combo in 1959. Their instrumental "Smokie," released late that year, made the Top Ten.
Bill Black's Combo stuck to the formula of "Smokie" for many of their subsequent singles: a basic shuffle beat, simple bluesy R&B riffs, and some rinky-dink organ and smoky saxophone lines on top. They weren't too imaginative, but they were quite successful, placing eight singles in the Top 40 between 1959 and 1962, including "White Silver Sands," "Josephine," "Don't Be Cruel," "Blue Tango," and "Hearts of Stone." Their sales were greatly boosted by the suitability of their instrumental rock for background music at bars, clubs, and diners, with many of their discs placed in jukeboxes. They were still charting in the Top 100 as late as 1964, the year they also toured with the Beatles during the British stars' first nationwide American tour.

Did a quick search to see if this had been reported; didn't see anything.
Basically I'd like there to be a way to download all attachments to an issue in a single click rather than each one separately.
I agree, this would be really useful.
In order to realize this feature, I thought of compressing and downloading Issue's attachment.
Non-ascii file names are garbled in older versions (Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP).
Windows 7 is scheduled to end support in 2020.
Any feedback on this patch is welcome.
Thank you for posting the patch. Could you explain why attachments_to_zip method creates temporary files in Attachment.storage_path instead of tmp directory?
I think the patch should consider the free space of the disk. Suppose that the total size of attachments of the issue is 1GB. If the free space of the disk is less than 1GB, the creation of a zip archive will fail and the server may stop working due to disk full.
Here are some ideas to avoid the problem.
There was no particular reason. I changed the temporary file storage location to the tmp directory.
Because I could not think of a good way to check disk space, I thought about limiting the maximum capacity of temporary files.
The maximum capacity of temporary file can be set in configration.yml.
By doing this setting, it is impossible to create a temporary file larger than the assumption of the server administrator.


FEEL-GOOD FLATTERY With the average size today a 14-16, the rule of thumb should be to simply buy clothes that make you feel good and flatter your shape.
'I love this dress because it makes me look fat', said no woman … ever! I actually dislike the term 'plus size' as it seems to indicate a 'them' and 'us' attitude, buy for the purpose of the piece, however, I will continue to use it. as sizes 16 to 28 are generally considered to be 'pluses' in the fashion industry.
Plus-size fashion causes some concern among health professionals as it (arguably) encourages the idea that being overweight is okay.
Back in the size-zero obsessed noughties, we were mesmerised as we observed models parading catwalks looking like bags of bones. In 2010, Debenhams introduced size 16 models, and their sales increased by over 40 percent.
The fact is, the average size today is 14-16. Mind you, size varies hugely from store to store and even among brand lines. And even though we are well aware of this, we still get a secret thrill whenever we fit into a size lower than we expected.
Ultimately, the rule of thumb should just be buy clothes that make you feel good and flatter your shape. While it's hugely important to love our bodies, thighs, muffin tops and bellies, we always want to show them to the world at large. Camouflage is key! Here are a few tips.
This just means wearing the same colour top to bottom, with varying shades (e.g. navy and light blue) as it elongates the body. Single-colour top-to-bottom dressing might be flattering, but it can be somewhat boring, so introduce a splash of colour with accessories or scarves.
Also, when it comes to accessories, V-shaped necklines work best when you want your body to look thinner and longer. Small busts look better with delicate pieces of jewellery.
One of the chief causes for looking bigger than you need to is skewed proportions – when the proportions of your clothes are out of sync with your body proportions. How does your top half relate to the bottom half? Are you top heavy or bottom heavy? Where is your waist? Are you short or long waisted? By knowing what body shape you have, you'll know where to place accessories, enhance the right parts, and make any prominent body bits less obvious.
I always recommend petite-size jackets for short-waisted women, for example. This is well worth trying, as petite is based on proportion rather than size or weight.
If you have heavier legs, avoid garments that end on the thickest part as it brings attention to this area and can visually make you look stumpy.
Don't buy anything too tight or too baggy, while it may be tempting to hide in tents, it will do you no favours visually. Also, buy for the size you are now.
Don't buy for the size you're going to be when you lose a few pounds. Big mistake!
Body shapers work like magic on lumps and bumps, they're not called 'magic knickers' for nothing! You might just need some tummy toning underwear, if the midriff is a problem try a bodysuit, most boutiques now carry a great selection of breathable, comfortable shapewear so it's well worth checking out, especially if you want to look and feel great in something.
So learn to embrace your curves by knowing what works for you. The key to looking great is to emphasise your assets while playing down the bits you might want to hide. Remember that local boutiques always carry a wonderful array of sizes and their staff will be happy to help you find styles that flatter your figure.
There are also many online specialist shops. I really like tempted.ie, as there is a video on the website that gives great examples of what to wear. Other online options include simplybe.ie and curvylady.ie.

U.N. passes sweeping international arms regulation viewed by some as Second Amendment override
David Sherfinski
The United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday signed off on a sweeping, first-of-its-kind treaty to regulate the international arms trade, brushing aside worries from U.S. gun rights advocates that the pact could lead to a national firearms registry and disrupt the American gun market.
The long-debated U.N. Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) requires countries to regulate and control the export of weaponry such as battle tanks, combat vehicles and aircraft and attack helicopters, as well as parts and ammunition for such weapons. It also provides that signatories will not violate arms embargoes, international treaties regarding illicit trafficking, or sell weaponry to countries for genocide, crimes against humanity or other war crimes…
…Critics of the treaty were heartened by the U.S. Senate's resistance to ratifying the document, assuming President Obama sent it to the chamber for ratification. In its budget debate late last month, the Senate approved a non-binding amendment opposing the treaty offered by Sen. James M. Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican, with eight Democrats joining all 45 Republicans backing the amendment.
Sen. Jerry Moran, Kansas Republican, said Tuesday that passing a treaty Iran, Syria and North Korea will just ignore will only serve to constrain law-abiding counties like the U.S…

Senate Republicans are using the debate around the Fiscal Year 2014 budget to push as many of their far-right ideas as possible, including now a move to have the United States completely withdraw from the United Nations.
An amendment was filed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) for just such a purpose, purporting to delete all spending related to the United Nations from the FY14 budget. Specifically, the amendment calls for a reduction of $7,691,822,000 in spending 2014 and 2023. That slash goes beyond even the most draconian of cuts proposed by House Republicans since they reclaimed a majority in 2010.
According to the Better World Campaign, the U.S. payment to the United Nations includes two main parts. The first includes the United States' contribution to the U.N.'s regular budget and the other bodies under the U.N. umbrella, the second payment into the U.N.'s international peacekeeping efforts. Contributions from across the entirety of the Federal government into the various parts of the U.N. system equals the total that Sen. Paul is seeking to cut, according to 2011 calculations from the Office of Management and Budget…

Update 2: Let me show you why banning high capacity magazines won't solve a thing
…They want to believe that if Adam Lanza had to reload more frequently fewer would have died:
"The horrible, brutal truth is that 154 bullets were fired in four minutes, killing our children, our daughters, our wives. The shooter carried 10, 30-round large-capacity magazines," Hockley said. "We have learned that in the time it took him to reload in one of the classrooms, 11 children were able to escape. We ask ourselves every day – every minute – if those magazines had held 10 rounds, forcing the shooter to reload at least six more times, would our children be alive today?"
Unfortunately, these beliefs are without basis. And here is the proof…
Update 3: Obama's continued use of the claim that 40 percent of gun sales lack background checks
There are two key problems with the president's use of this statistic: The numbers are about two decades old, yet he acts as if they are fresh, and he refers to "purchases" or "sales" when in fact the original report concerned "gun acquisitions" and "transactions." Those are much broader categories of data…

Margaritas in short are summer time perfection– are they not? Add a little sand and ocean breeze and you have just experienced paradise, I am sure of it.
One of my all time favorite ways to take the love of this summer beverage fave one step further is by rocking a margarita mani!
Textured nails have continued to gain popularity over the past few years and the margarita manicure is all about texture.
Like a little salt on the rim of your margarita, ladies? You got it!
This manicure includes 2 of my favorite summer color-combos – blue and lime green– perfect to show off poolside or at the beach! But the best part about this super detailed look? Is that it is crazy, crazy easy– so fret not, my fellow non-steady hand friends.
Check out the below tutorial to rock this super easy DIY Mani … because, hey! It's 5 o'clock somewhere!
3. Coat all "Green With Envy" nails with a clear base coat. I used Sally Hansen Diamond Shine .
4. Allow to dry completely.
*It is also worth mentioning that what I love about the Sugar Coat polish is that it adds real texture that stays (unlike some other nail art techniques… I'm looking at you, caviar)!!

Democrats, President Trump face off
by: Alexandra Limon
Posted: May 22, 2019 / 09:55 PM CDT / Updated: May 22, 2019 / 09:55 PM CDT
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Democrats and President Trump are facing off.
"We believe that the President of the United States is engaged in a cover-up," Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said.
"I do not do cover-ups," said President Trump.
But Democrats are facing off against each other as well.
Pelosi's 'cover-up' comments were her toughest yet about the President. But she continues to argue that Democrats should be patient – that the time is not right for impeachment.
Some of her colleagues are tired of waiting.
Wisconsin Congressman Mark Pocan is one of the Democrats who wants impeachment proceedings to begin now.
"For me the next step, the straw that broke the camel's back was having another witness not show up to a committee after they're supposed to," Pocan said.
Still others, like House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff are on the fence.
"I don't want to exclude the possibility either if they continue this type of lawlessness," Schiff said.
Despite Pelosi's strong words, she did not say that House Democrats would begin impeachment proceedings. But she did say she's seen positive steps in recent days, for example the Department of Justice just agreed to give Congress a number of documents from the Mueller investigation.
Meanwhile President Trump says he intends to stop working with Congress until Democrats back off.
"You can't do it under these circumstances, so get these phony investigations over with," Trump said.
