The Police of the Czech Republic () is the national law enforcement agency of the Czech Republic. It was established on 15 July 1991 under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Interior. The agency is tasked with protecting citizens, property and public order and as of 2015, there were around 40,500 employees. Czech state police cooperates with municipal police departments, which are present in local municipalities.

History
The Police of the Czech Republic took over land management after the communist SNB in the Czech Republic with the exception of military police (provosts) who are part of the army. Members were recruited from the former communist SNB (National Security Corps), after passing a vetting "democratic" commission established after the Velvet Revolution in 1989 to eliminate from the police force communist ideologues and agents of the secret police. A similar procedure was also undertaken in the then-Slovak Republic. Some police officers were employed by a small federal police force, whose mandate expired on 31 December 1992.

Jurisdiction and organisation

The Police of the Czech Republic has general jurisdiction in the investigation of misdemeanors and crimes. Its proceedings are overseen by an independent prosecutor, who can bring charges in criminal matters. It does not have jurisdiction in fields falling within the competence of other specialized bodies, such as the Customs service, military police, judicial guard or the Secret service. PČR is the main investigative body of the Ministry of the Interior. It should not be confused with the municipal police, which may be established by a municipality and which supervises public order and road safety; municipal police also have jurisdiction only over misdemeanours, and in criminal investigations may serve only in a supportive role for the state police.

The Police of the Czech Republic is responsible for search and rescue operations and on this behalf cooperates with Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic that is highly professional rescue agency.

Some crimes (such as terrorism) are being solved in co-operation with intelligence agencies such as BIS or ÚZSI.

On-duty officers are obliged to carry service weapons depending on the nature of their work (administrative vs. field work) or by their superior executive officer ordinance.

Regardless of being assigned to nationwide or regional units all police officers while on or off-duty have the right (and obligation) to act if the crime or serious offense is happening and life, health or property may be in imminent danger. Civilian employees of police are obliged to act only while on-duty. Generally, police officers are not allowed to carry service weapons while off-duty if not approved by regional or unit police chief, which is on condition that their life may be in serious immediate danger. If a police officer still wants to carry a weapon off-duty, he/she has to use their personal handgun like any other armed citizen. Off-duty officers can use their personal weapon when acting as a police officer (which makes him on-duty).

Regional jurisdiction
There are 14 regional headquarters, with jurisdictions covering the regions of the Czech Republic.

Police officers serving under regional HQs are usually organized in the following sections:
 Public Order Police Service (Služba pořádkové policie) - general and largest, most versatile, police officers on general patrolling duty serving at local and district police stations, most usually first responders. Squad cars usually manned by two officers, apart from pistols usually with at least one select-fire gun stored in car's rear seats or trunk.
 Public Order Units - perform specific tasks in the area of protecting people and property, special equipment and training, most often dispatched in large numbers (riot gear for crowd control, assault rifles for active shooter engagement, assisting criminal police, etc.). Squad minivans usually with seven heavily armed policemen.
 Intervention Units - regional SWAT teams (8 teams covering 14 regions). Mainly for assisting criminal police with arresting dangerous offenders who have committed extremely serious crimes or to perform preliminary measures against terrorists, kidnappers or hijackers. They may be even assigned tasks related to the protection of buildings or the transport of dangerous substances, objects or valuables. Apart from cars equipped also with transport helicopters.
 Rapid Response Units - these units reinforce the public order units on patrolling duty in selected areas of the country. Squad cars usually with two or three policemen armed with submachine guns.
 Waterway Units - assigned duties at waterway stations established at major waterways. They control compliance with navigation rules and the Water Act, maintain public order on waterways and bodies of water, help rescue drowning people and clearing up after floods and other natural disasters.
 Police Divers - assigned not only to waterway stations but also to intervention and rapid deployment units.
 Railway Units - in train stations of major railway hubs, also operate in trains (catching thieves, looters)
 Cynology Service - training of dogs and dog handlers, about 800 dogs are in active service with the Czech Police (K9 officers themselves are part of the above-mentioned units)
 Hippology Service - training of horses and mounted policemen mainly for patrolling in natural reserve areas and for riot duty (mounted policemen themselves are part of the above-mentioned units)
 Traffic Police Service - supervising the safety and flow of road traffic, dealing with traffic accidents and to check whether traffic rules are followed.
 Weapons and Security Material Service - deals with civilian firearms ownership and issuing of gun licenses, business with military equipment, explosives, gun ranges etc.
 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service - apart from disposing of explosive materials also provides expert opinions in the field of forensic pyrotechnics
 Criminal Police and Investigation Service - second largest service, usually divided into:
 White Collar Crime Division (Operative Search, Investigation) - economical, tax, currency related crime
 Usually divided into specialized sections (according of size of department)
 Analytics and Cybercrime Division (analytics for other two divisions, cybercrime)
 General Crime Division (Operative Search, Investigation) - usually divided into specialized sections (according of size of department):

Q: Timestamp in mysql column I'm uploading a datababase to MySQL and get this problem:

ERROR 1293 (HY000) at line 31: Incorrect table definition; there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause

The problem is that of two columns with "Timestamp" data type in that table, only one should have "Current Timestamp" value, while the other default value is "null". When I upload the database, both columns' value get changed to "Current Timestamp", which makes the process of exporting and importing very annoying, since I have to manually change it back to null before importing again.
Any idea why it automatically changes to "current timestamp"? This is an Amazon EC2 linux instance (see attached mysql version)

A: Before version 5.6, MySQL makes an assumption when you declare a timestamp column... specifically, it assumes the first timestamp column on a table will be the one that has the automatic update attributes.
If you don't explicitly disable the behavior on the first timestamp, it's implicitly enabled, which causes the explicit automatic value on a later timestamp to be rejected.  It isn't enough not to ask.

It need not be the first TIMESTAMP column in a table that is automatically initialized or updated to the current timestamp. However, to specify automatic initialization or updating for a different TIMESTAMP column, you must suppress the automatic properties for the first one. Then, for the other TIMESTAMP column, the rules for the DEFAULT and ON UPDATE clauses are the same as for the first TIMESTAMP column, except that if you omit both clauses, no automatic initialization or updating occurs.
To suppress automatic properties for the first TIMESTAMP column, do either of the following:
Define the column with a DEFAULT clause that specifies a constant default value.
Specify the NULL attribute. This also causes the column to permit NULL values, which means that you cannot assign the current timestamp by setting the column to NULL. Assigning NULL sets the column to NULL.
— https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/timestamp-initialization.html

So, for your first timestamp -- if it's not the one you want to be the automatic timestamp -- use either one of these column type declarations (they're identical):
TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 -- automatically expanded to '0000-00-00 00:00:00'

This should allow you to copy this table definition between systems without issue.

This silliness was fixed in MySQL Server 5.6, where the system variable explicit_defaults_for_timestamp disables the implicit automatic behavior for the first timestamp in a table.
If you start a server running 5.6 without setting this option, a warning is written to the error log.
[Warning] TIMESTAMP with implicit DEFAULT value is deprecated. Please
use --explicit_defaults_for_timestamp server option (see documentation
for more details).

The warning is reminding you that you still have the legacy behavior, which is deprecated in 5.6.

Is Public Health the Model for Securing the Internet of Things?
August 28, 2015 12:45 by Paul
Global cooperation and focus on basic hygiene may be a model for securing the Internet of Things, says the FCC's CIO David Bray. (Image courtesy of the UN.)
In-brief: are public health initiatives the best model for securing the Internet of Things? David Bray, the CIO for the Federal Communications Commission thinks they may be.
One of the big challenges in securing the Internet of Things is how to adjust to the scale and diversity that the IoT brings. To put it simply: most of our security tools and processes were developed for a much smaller and more homogenous Internet – one of some billions of devices, most of them laptops, desktops, servers, routers, switches and – lately – mobile phones.
As we've written here on many occasions, the IoT represents a break with that history. It simultaneously adds a whole host of new, previously unconnected endpoints to the 'net – from wearables to connected infrastructure like roads and street lamps. At the same time, it bridges the air gap to a lot of legacy infrastructure: from building management and environmental controls to industrial control systems.
How does one police or, more appropriately, care for that kind of far-flung and diverse ecosystem? It's an open question. But there are lots of ideas, and most of them look 'outside the box' of classical IT management for inspiration.
Add to that list the recent writings of Dr. David Bray, the CIO for the Federal Communications Commission. Over at Enterprisers Project, a CIO-focused news and information site, Dr. Bray has written what I think is a really interesting piece on security and Internet of Things. Among other things, he argues that the world may look to public health, rather than technology, as the solution for securing the Internet of Things.
Bray has some authority on the subject. He served as IT Chief for the Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Program at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control from 2000 to 2005.
Securing the Internet of Things – like "curing disease" – is likely to be a long-term project that is never completely successful, he writes.
[You might also like: The Unbalanced Negative Externalities of Cyber Security]
"Public health exists because even with our best efforts, infectious disease outbreaks do occur in the real world, and we have to rapidly detect, respond, and help treat those effected," he writes.
FTC Commissioner Julie Brill will speak at the Sept. 10th Security of Things Forum in Cambridge, MA. Click the image to reserve your place!
But, as in public health, securing the IoT may be a project in which small and seemingly insignificant acts – like hand washing, or using mosquito nets – can have a huge, beneficial impact. He argues for something like a "cyber public health approach" that is described as a "mashup of cyber personal hygiene and cyber epidemiology" (two disciplines that don't currently exist, we should note.)
"If we think of the Internet as a series of digital ecosystems where participants need to assume some responsibility for making sure they're doing their best to keep their Internet devices clean and secure – the digital equivalent of washing their hands – then we can also imagine the need for cyber epidemiology when individual hygiene is insufficient in preventing a mass 'outbreak' or individual infection," Bray said.
Sounds good – but what does that look like, practically? That's where things get a bit fuzzy. Bray, who has been traveling the globe to research this issue as an Eisenhower Fellow, said that international leaders in places like Taiwan and Australia that he has consulted with are mostly voluntary and rely on verbose sharing of (anonymous) information on emerging threats. Bray talks about a "real-time clearinghouse of voluntarily submitted data about the cyber 'health' of the Internet across multiple devices."
This has an analog in public health, where officials at the state and federal level will report on outbreaks or even just instances of communicable diseases, and where there is clear protocol on how to respond to one-off instances, small outbreaks, larger outbreaks and epidemics.
What kind of data is shared? This is vague, but the article mentions "masked, de-identified data regarding abnormal behaviors they're seeing on their firewalls, routers, and other devices."
Importantly – this should be "voluntary," Bray notes. Governments and cooperating organizations would take part in data submission in a "voluntary, open, opt-in model." Done at scale and with the proper analysis, Bray believes that the collected information about outbreaks and malicious activity could allow responsible organizations to act early on emerging threats.
Bray isn't the first to find a possible model for securing the IoT in the field of public health. Writing for this blog in May, Amit Mital of Symantec made a similar argument: that "our existing economic, cultural and legal incentives to online hygiene are inadequate" and that the problem will worsen as we migrate to the Internet of Things. "With 10- or 100 times as many connected devices, few of which look anything like the personal computers of the last 30 years, the threat surface is much larger."
But Mital was skeptical of the applicability of public health models to a population as big and diverse as the Internet of Things. "IoT devices hardware and processing constraints make current endpoint protection models ("vaccination") impossible," Mital wrote. His solution: "security by design. To continue with our public health analogy, think about this as genetically engineered immunity instead of vaccination."

Adobe Premiere Pro is a widely used software applications for video editing on mac OS or Windows computers. Premiere Pro is used for editing videos, commercials and other film, television, and online video. It is a comprehensive video editing software application and is also available as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud set of applications. Premiere Pro is often used in conjunction with After Effects and Photoshop on creative projects.
In the Premiere Pro CC name, the CC is represents "Creative Cloud" and is a subscription-based version of Premiere Pro. New updates to the Premiere Pro program are available for download for current subscribers. In order to use the CC version of Premiere Pro, a current subscription is required. Older versions of Premiere Pro, such as Premiere Pro CS, do not require a subscription. Adobe made the transition to subscription-based versions of Premiere Pro as part of the Creative Cloud in 2013. Adobe releases new updates to Premiere Pro CC approximately every 12 to 18 months. The updates from year to year are often modest, making the difference between versions such as Premiere Pro CC 2017 and Premiere Pro CC 2018 not noticable to most users.
Premiere Pro can be used for all common video editing tasks necessary for producing broadcast quality, high-definition video. It can be used to import video, audio and graphics, and is used to create new, edited versions of video which can be exported to the medium and format necessary for distribution. When creating videos using Premiere Pro, various video and still images can be edited together. Titles can be added to videos, and filters can be applied along with other effects.
Premiere Pro is used by video production firms, news stations, marketing professionals, and design firms. Individuals working in roles such as video editors, production managers, marketing managers and multimedia designers all use Premiere Pro to create and edit video content. Premiere Pro is developed by software development firm Adobe Systems.
Adobe Premier Pro started as simply Premiere, and was introduced in 1991 for the Mac operating system. It was one of the first computer-based non-linear editing systems. The name Premiere Pro was introduced in 2003 and has been used for all subsequent versions. The very first version of Premier Pro had a number of names, ranging from Premiere Pro 1 through Premiere Pro 7.
Premiere Pro 1.5 was released as a version that was more stable than its predecessor, PPRO. It included bug fixes, glitches and a few small additions.
Premiere Pro 2 had a number of changes, including a new interface, new features, and improved integration with other applications in the Adobe family. With this release, multi-camera editing, record-to-DVD, GPU accelerated processing and native HD/HDV support were introduced.
Premier Pro CS3: This version was released in 2007. One of the new, notable features of this release was time remapping. Mac support was also reintroduced during this time.
Premiere Pro CS4: This version of Premiere Pro was released October 2008, with an improved editing workflow, more flexibility and increased format support.
Premier Pro CS5: Released April 2010, the Mercury Playback Engine was a significant addition. This allowed render-less previewing. This version also included minor enhancements to the software.
Premiere Pro CS6: In May 2012 this release delivered a number of changes to the interface. Enhancements included adjustment layers, the rolling shutter repair effect, three-way color corrections, new preset browser, and more. Users were also introduced to Adobe Prelude, SpeedGrade, and Adobe Creative Cloud. This was the last edition that could be purchased as a stand-alone software package. There have been updates to fix bugs that were affecting performance, but the migration to CC is permanent.
Premiere Pro CC: The initial release of the Creative Cloud version of Premiere Pro CC was in June 2013, with a number of improvements. This included link & locate, redesigned timeline, improved audio mixing, Lumetri Deep Color Engine, improved multicam editing, integration of Adobe Anywhere and more. This was very first version of PPRO only available through the subscription service. Continued upgrades have been ongoing, with each version of Premiere Pro CC adding the year of release following the CC. For example, there have been versions of Premiere Pro CC 2015, 2017, and 2018. Premiere Pro CC 2018, or Version 12.0, added new features including motion graphics templates, options to use After Effects motion graphics templates without needing After Effects, immersive video editing using head-mount display, and more.
The maximum frame size to import still images and movies into Premiere Pro is 256 megapixels, with a maximum dimension of 32,768 pixels in either direction.
Whether a frame can be processed by the GPU acceleration with Premiere Pro as part of the Mercury Playback Engine depends on the size of the frame compared to the amount of GPU memory. A frame that meets the following requirements can be processed by GPU acceleration: ((width x height) / 16,384) megabytes. If the resulting value of the calculation exceeds the available memory, Premiere Pro uses the CPU only for rendering of the current segment.
The following formats are supported by Adobe Premiere Pro. While Premiere Pro can import these formats, it may need specific codecs to import certain file types. Once a file is edited and included in a Premiere Pro project, it can be exported to the original format or a different format.
These media formats can be imported and edited in both Mac OS and Windows systems: ARRI AMIRA camera; Canon XF; Canon RAW; CinemaDNG; Panasonic AVC; P2 cameras; Phantom Cine media; RED support; and, Sony cameras.
Adobe Illustrator (EPS, AI); Bitmap (DIB, BMP, RLE); Cineon/DPX (DPX); Graphics Interchange Format (GIF); Windows only icon file (ICO); JPEG; Macintosh Picture (PICT); Photoshop (PSD); Portable Network Graphics (PNG); Adobe Premiere Title (PTL, PRTL); Targa (TGA, VST); and Tagged Interchange Format (TIFF).
Distribution Format Exchange Profile (DFXP); MacCaption VANC (MCC); Scenarist Closed Caption File (SCC); Subrip Subtitle format (SRT); EBU N19 Subtitle File (STL); and W3C/EBU Timed Text File/SMPTE (XML).
Advanced Authoring Format (AAF); After Effects project (AEP, AEPX); Character Animator Project (CHPROJ); Batch lists (CSV, TAB, TXT, PBL); CMX3600 EDLs (EDL); Windows only Adobe Premier Elements project (PREL); Premiere Pro project (PRPROJ); and FCP XML (XML).
There are many options for both professionals and students to learn Premiere Pro.
Many Premiere Pro classes are available through local educational institutions and offer hands-on instruction for individuals. These courses are a good option for those who prefer to learn in a traditional classroom setting where they can interact with others and benefit from a live instructor. In-person public Premiere Pro courses generally have an instructor demonstrate, provide feedback and enhance the learning process. Students use a combination of computer hands-on time along with lab and exercise files to learn Premiere pro fundamentals and apply them to video editing projects. American Graphics Institute offers Premiere Pro classes in NYC and also offers Premiere Pro courses in Boston and you can also learn Premiere Pro in Philadelphia as well.
For those who are unable to travel to a classroom location, it is still possible to learn Premiere Pro form a live instructor with Premiere Pro online classes. While online training can be administered in several ways, live online training is often the most beneficial, as classes are led by live instructors who can answer questions and provide real-time feedback.
For businesses with a team needing to learn Premiere Pro, private onsite training is a good option to ensure employees learn what they need while maintaining business operations. As the instructor can travel to your location, there is no need for employee travel. When conducting private Premiere Pro training, instructors can assess what the trainees already know and tailor lessons to specific topics and components which are most beneficial to employee's tasks.
Both books and video tutorials are available for those who prefer to learn Premiere Pro on their own. The Premiere Pro books from American Graphics Institute are available at many libraries and in bookstores, and includes lesson files and video tutorials along with written instructions. As a book, it can be completed at the pace and timeframe of each individual learner.
Premiere Pro has few differences between Mac OS and Windows PC systems. The application is developed from a single code-base, which makes Premiere Pro consistent between both Mac and Windows computers. The file system for locating and importing files is one of the few areas with noticeable differences. If using Adobe Bridge to manage files, these differences between platforms are nonexistent. Most users can move between Mac and Windows versions of Premiere Pro without noticing any differences.
In testing between identically-equipped Mac and Windows systems, there is little difference between Mac and Windows PC computers, but many Windows PC systems are available with faster specifications that are better equipped for video editing. Because some niche PC manufacturers are focused on high-end computing needs, and offer upgraded computers more frequently than Apple updates their hardware, it is often possible to find a Windows PC system that is faster than a Mac OS system. Frequently Windows PC systems for Premiere Pro are available with the latest processors and faster GPU (video) systems while Apple may be using processors or GPUs that were good at the time they first shipped, but have become outdated. While Apple's equipment is often top-of-the-line at the time they deliver a computer, their release cycle of delivering new or updated computer hardware every 12 to 18 months causes them to fall behind in the rapidly changing high performance computer market that users of Premiere Pro need.
An example of this can be seen in a test conducted by a maker of PC computers, Puget Systems. They tested three comparable models: a Mac Pro late 2013 using the MacOS Sierra, a Core i7 3.2GHz, and a Core i7 3.0GHz using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. The software used on all three was Premiere Pro 2017.0.2. As Puget Systems tested the performance of Premiere Pro on the Mac and Windows computers, it was noted that Premiere Pro crashed more often on the Mac system. Additionally, Adobe software is optimized the software for use with Nvidia video cards, which were available and used in the Windows systems, while the default AMD video processing cards were in the Mac systems. This likely contributed to the results in which Windows was faster than the Mac when rendering previews, exporting, and applying warp stabilize. This was especially true when using 4K footage in Premiere Pro. On the Mac, live playback, red 4K footage and 8K pro-resolution were seen to be limited.
Premiere Pro costs between $20 and $30 per month for most users, or on a yearly basis is $240 per year. The exact price depends upon the type of subscription purchased and whether it is purchased by an individual, organization, or educational institution including their students and faculty. If the subscription is not renewed, the software application cannot be accessed.

Edinanci Fernandes da Silva, (* 23. srpna 1976 Sousa, Brazílie) je bývalá reprezentantka Brazílie v judu.

Sportovní kariéra
Judu a sportu celkově se začala věnovat v 15 letech v Souse (Paraíba) na doporučení psychologa po problémech se zánětem vnitřního ucha a s ním spojených závratí (labyrinthitis). v 17 letech se přesunula do Guarulhosu ve 20 až do konce své sportovní kariéry trénovala v São Caetanu (São Paulo).

Její sportovní úspěchy a popularita byla však tvrdě zaplacena neustálým obviňováním ze strany soupeřek a médií ohledně své sexuality. Před olympijskými hrami v Atlantě v roce 1996 musela dokonce lékařskými posudky dokazovat, že je ženou. Na olympijských hrách v Atlantě skončila nakonec na 7. místě. Na přelomy tisíciletí jí trápila vážná zranění. Na olympijské hry v Sydney v roce 2000 dokonce odjížděla s natrženými vazi v koleni a zopakovala výsledek z před čtyř let. Operaci kolene se podrobila v roce 2001 a v plné síle se vrátila v roce 2003.

V roce 2004 startovala na olympijských hrách v Athénách, ale nevyladila optimálně formu a skončila opět na 7. místě. Při své čtvrté účasti na olympijských hrách v Pekingu v roce 2008 se dostala do boje o bronzovou olympijskou medaili, ale nechala se ve druhé minutě chytit do osae-kom a skončila na 5. místě. Po olympijských hrách v Pekingu jí v reprezentaci nahradila Mayra Aguiarová. Sportovní kariéru ukončila až hluboko po třicítce.

This volume collects both essays and fictional material around two core topics in the long career of the Serbian writer, essayist, researcher, publisher and translator. The first topic - first contact - is chiefly represented by his comprehensive essay on "The Theme of First Contact in the SF Works of Arthur C. Clarke" and reflected on the literary level with his short stories "The Bookshop" and "The Puzzle". Two shorter essays on the second topic - time travel in SF literature - introduce, amongst others, the well-known and fascinating mosaic novel Time Gifts, which skillfully explores the more literary side of the notions of past, present and future. In the annotations the author provides insights into his take on the subjects presented.

We all know cut protection is important - or there wouldn't be so many hand and finger injuries. But how do we get employees to wear gloves? Heck, often I can't even get my husband to wear gloves when he's working with wood and power tools. It's so frustrating! He knows he should but on some level he still feels it's "easier" not to. I'm working on him.

author: N Lohathayalan
Sirsena Caving In?
By N. Logathayalan –
President Maithripala Sirisena has shown that he is really indistinguishable from his pre-2015 gang of Mahinda Rajapaksa's. The latter only needed to have waited till 2020 to gain power through elections. But the judicial nooses were tightening round their necks at Courts. Rajapaksa's family and friends were in real danger of going to prison – and pretty soon too. So they threw caution to the winds and jumped the gun dissolving Parliament unconstitutionally.
They tried to buy government MPs. It did not work. Sirisena claimed in a major speech that MPs were on auction. It turns out that the only cross-overs at that point were to his side, making it quite plain that his side was doing the bribing. One clown has been crossing back and forth and has made a joke of the Tamil community.
The literally crooked gang did not have the required numbers in Parliament. They tried their hooliganism in Parliament but failed to avoid a no-confidence vote. Now they are boycotting Parliament to make excuses as to why they cannot demonstrate the numbers they claim in Parliament.
Worse is to come. Important cases are being heard in the Supreme Court.
The cases are hopeless for Sirsena. His argument for the legality of his dissolving Parliament is essentially this: that Artcle 33 (2)(c) of the Constitution gives him the power to dismiss parliament anytime: "In addition to the powers, duties and functions expressly conferred or imposed on, or assigned to the President by the Constitution or other written law, the President shall have the power to summon, prorogue and dissolve Parliament."
In contrast, Article 70 says that Parliament can be dissolved only 4 years and six months after its first meeting, or on a motion supported by 2/3 of all members. Neither of these two conditions has been fulfilled.
The President's case is essentially that Section 33(2)(c) may be read in isolation, and he can ignore section 70. However, there is enough case law that says that different sections must be interpreted in manner that the whole is harmonious. Yet in his gazette proclamation dissolving parliament, Sirisena draws from Section 70(1), the only place in the constitution that speaks of dissolution of parliament by proclamation and which he claims to ignore. Section 70, he says, does not apply in interpreting Section 33. Moreover in that special gazette proclaiming the dissolution of parliament (No. 2094/45 of 27 Oct.) he invokes the powers conferred on him by article 70(5) – reminding one of wanting to have the cake and eat it at the same time. Moreover, that article confers no power on anyone and only speaks of the dates he has to set for elections. He has proclaimed claiming powers not conferred on him by the article he has cited. It shows the quality of legal advisers Sirisena has.
The President's interpretation in reading Section 33(2)(c) – that is, that he can dissolve parliament any time – means that he can call for elections, and when he does not like the result call for elections again and so on till he gets the results he wants. What s worse is that by his interpretation he can never be impeached – for when Parliament dares to impeach a terrible president like himself, all that the President has to do is dissolve Parliament. That absurdity renders Sirisena's interpretation totally crazy – what in logic is called reductio ad absurdum, reducing a thesis to the absurd conclusions it leads to, thereby disproving the thesis.
All these arguments will be heard 4, 5 and 6 of December with the inexorable verdict expected on the 7th. I do not need to expand on the many more reasons why the Supreme Court will find the dissolution of Parliament unlawful.
The point I make is that Sirisena must be quite aware by now of what is coming. Rajapaksa has indicated his own foreboding in saying that in Sirisena's place he would not have dissolved Parliament. Indeed Colombo Telegraph has him saying in 2015 that there will be no elections for another 4.5 years. In the short time since 26 October, Rajapaksa has been making the most of it before the blow falls on his Prime Ministership – appointing his crooked friends to let them make more money, letting his son use state property as he wants, giving helicopter rides to the tune of some 800 million rupees, getting persistent detectives out of the way of investigations that reveal how foul and murderous his regime was, and so on. Everything is coming a cropper for him and Sirisena.
The last argument the gang could resort to was that, as they claimed, they had 103 seats against the UNP's 102 which gives them a better case for heading the government. The UNP therefore wanted the ITAK vote which seemed to come in the vote of no-confidence against Mahinda Rajapaksa and in passing the vote on the 29thto curb the Prime Minister' budget. But that was not enough. The UNP needs consistent votes in its support not just for bills here and there on an ad hoc basis. The ITAK votes must always be with the UNP to overturn the Sirisena-Rajapaksa gang.
The present (or recent if you prefer) Ranil Wickremesinghe cabinet of 30, according to a former Mayor of Colombo has 10 gays, and that Mayor is able to count them off one by one, name by name. However distasteful it may be to many, gays tend to be minority friendly because of the shared suffering. In contrast Sirisena has taunted the gays in his cabinet as butterflies (using the example of the Monarch Butterfly which tends to same-sex mating) in giving reasons for the dissolution. At the same time he defends as national heroes those soldiers guilty of war crimes whom he says he will never allow to be prosecuted – those soldiers who murdered Tamil girls on the Mullaitivu beaches and gratuitously played with their corpses for sexual pleasure, engaging in necrophilia. Gays at least have some form of mutual consent while the poor Tamil girls of Mullaitivu had their corpses violated without their consent. This is the status of minorities under Rajapaksa who was at the top of the chain of command during the murders and rapes of 2009 and his terrorism of Muslims, and under Sirisena who now protects murderers of Tamils and elevates necrophilliacs as national heroes, while taunting homosexuals. The Sinhalese tend to be in denial, calling these photos doctored. However, how our soldiers behaved in Haiti as UN Peace-Keepers raping children shows the true quality of our national heroes.
This is why Tamils, except for a very few, resist more strongly, indeed are terrified of the Rajapaksa-Sirisena combine triumphing over Ranil Wickremesinghe. The ITAK could therefore simply sit back and let the country drift into anarchy with neither side commanding a majority in Parliament. But the Sirisena-Rajapaksa combine, in the reckoning of many, is far worse for Tamils than Ranil Wickremesinghe for the reasons stated. Indeed, Ranil Wickremesinghe attempting to take Ravi Karunanayake back into the cabinet and his own lack of explanation for the bond-scam make many Tamils wary of him too. Those sympathetic to the LTTE hold Ranil responsible for engineering Karuna Amman's defection which really was the beginning of the end of the LTTE.
In the North-East, the general feeling is that Mahinda Rajapaksa is terrible for Tamils, and Ranil is better but not necessarily much better – after all he has delivered little in his three years as PM and is on record saying he will not have the international judges that he committed to in Geneva as a cosponsor. ITAK MP E. Saravanapavan has been forced to go on record in Jaffna that the ITAK will never support Ranil. Supporting Ranil therefore will lead to an electoral setback for ITAK; and C.V. Wigneswaran (whose standing among Tamils at the moment is poor because of his untrustworthiness and for his speeches tending to war mongering), will be the beneficiary. Having lost Sambanthan's trust, he also must be disappointed by how things have turned after praising Rajapksa recently, presumably wanting to ride on Rajapaksa's coat-tails by placing himself under the command of his sambanthi(in-law) Vasudeva.
The Sirisena-Rajapaksa gang wants a dignified way out of the cesspit it dug for itself as everything seems to go awry. It was signaled on the 29thin Parliament when Wijedasa Rajapakse made a plea for peace. The Speaker, Karu Jayasuriya, the gentleman that he is, agreed to speak to the President and already has. The ITAK too wants to support the UNP which is more likely to settle Tamil grievances but cannot face the electorate if they side with Ranil openly. So in their letter to Sirisena of the 29th they have adopted a formula of not openly supporting Ranil but keeping the door open to that eventuality:
"We the Members of Parliament of the Illankai Thamil Arasu Kadchi, will support the restoration of a Government headed by the U.N.F as it existed prior to 26th October [and] the Appointment of a nominee of the U.N.F who in the opinion of Your Excellency is able to command the confidence of Parliament as Prime Minister."
It is reported that Ranil Wickremesinghe has assured Sampanthan in writing that a new constitution would be presented before Independence Day in 2019. Those who want nothing short of Eelam see this agreement as a threat to their project. Attempting to disrupt all prospects for peace, three policemen at a checkpoint at Vavunaitheevu in the Batticalao District were shot at in the early hours of the 30th. Two have succumbed to their injuries.
The stage is set for Sirisena to cancel his gazettes and avoid a devastatingly humiliating judgment from the Supreme Court. What is uncertain is whether the UNP will abandon Ranil or be firmly loyal to him. On that rests the outcome of any talks. If there is a settlement and the gazette is annulled, there will be nothing for the Supreme Court to rule as illegal. Unfortunately that outcome while saving face for the Sirisena-Rajapaksa combine, will leave the door open for another mad and immoral president to try the same disgraceful bag of tricks again.

Thank You Mr. President!

"… will leave the door open for another mad and immoral president to try the same disgraceful bag of tricks again."
That is why even if the gazette notifications are annulled, Sira should be impeached in order to offset the damaging precedent he has created.

Why you talk so much about caddying is obviously because you, being a cad, have a fetish for the menial job!

Pls don't insult Emil VP. I don't know him personally but I have heard of him and am pleased with what I hear. The Burghers were a small but peaceful, friendly and talented community that enriched the Lankan family in many ways. Some of our finest teachers, lawyers, judges, doctors, artistes, world class athletes and sportspersons came this community. The process of history during colonial times brought them some benefits over the locals. They did not engineer them. This country lost their services when nearly 50,000 of these fine folks left due to the communal politics of the post-1956 period. Many to Australia. I believe Emil went to Canada but the lure of Mother Lanka brought him back. Thank God for that.
This ex-journo (?) makes valuable comments and critique even in these pages to our benefit. I am told he and his family have suffered much by the State Land (appropriation) policies like many Sinhalese, Tamils and others.

Colombo Telegraph, is that the best journalism you are capable of, publishing an uncorroborated gruesome picture with an unproven and ridiculous claim? Who raped, mutilated and killed Vidya? Are you going to publish pictures of that with the names of the inhuman men who did it? Do you want some other news site who is willing to stoop so low to publish those picture because Vidya's murder happened under Yahapals watch? CT you could be better than this.

I think you should take a break from your indulgence reliving in Vidya's world, come back and live in the real world. Those gruesome photos were taken by soldiers whose mates raped the women.
Blame the rapists, who could be your father, son, brother, brother in law, grandfather, son in law, nephew, grand son, uncle, ….
Mr Logaladlayan,
For god's sake, don't start a war that you can't fight. And don't underestimate your enemy and then come home crying when you get a bloody nose.
The picture you have put up, although despicable to say the least, I must tell you that it shows you the true reality of WAR. If you cannot understand that, then you are very immature. At least, if you are posting such pictures, find something with a good looking Tamil girl.
Tamils are like the school yard bullies. First they put this arrogant high horse up-yours attitude. Then they bad mouth the majority of students about their eating habits etc. Finally, they start these cowardly attacks hiding behind bushes and running after striking.
After years of doing the above and not understanding the word STOP, they finally get a bloody good whacking. At that point, they go home crying.
Vanangamudi / December 1, 2018
Rtd. Lt. Perera
I vehemently object to your bad-mouthing the Tamil community. Have you forgotten Aiyo Sirisena told the country only recently the Army Commander, the President, PM and other leaders in the country ran away during the 2009 period fearing a possible attack on Colombo by Tamil rebels. This admission by the President is totally at variance with your poor and prejudicial remarks about Tamils.
BTW, you could not have done much for the Sinhala army during the years you were benefitting from the State largesse. Because in your own words in these pages you were busy applying Vaseline to the rear of those poor, innocent Tamils coming your way to satisfy your sick lust. You would have been an ideal candidate of the SLA to Haiti where our fellows showed their colours.
Have you ever heard of the term An Officer and Gentleman. You will never fit in to that description, pal. In your own bloody interest, watch your language, punk when you refer to the valiant Tamil race.

I strongly believe, the Tigers would have committed these crimes and taken photos to distribute them and pin the blame on the soldiers, for these dastardly deeds, Tigers are notorios for. No sane person, whether Tigers or Soldiers would take these pictures to keep as mementos. This is what the Tiger terrorists and their propaganda agents always did to deceive the naive foreigners.Shame on you Tigers and the media giving a platform for their false propoganda.

Really! These women were exploited by Tamil fanatics and used as terrorists and suicide bombers when were alive now they are exploited even after their death by Tamil fanatics in their hate campaign against the innocent Sinhalese people. Everything Tamil is about violence.
All these stories, killings, anti-Sinhalese propaganda etc etc is for the nonexistent imaginary Tamil homeland in the Sinhalese island.
What needs to investigated are the horrendous Tamil hate crimes against the innocent Sinhalese people and get international help to relocate the Tamils back to their homeland Tamilnadu. Tamils simply cannot live here in peace with the Sinhalese because they are so obsessed with violence and are sick with ethnic jealousy and hatred towards the Sinhalese.

Moderator,
I have decided not to comment anymore for the following reasons.
You are allowing people to express their views in Articles ( some are biased some are factually incorrect) but denying the readers to challenge them. Laksris Ariticle contained a lot of errors. For example he wrote that here in the UK there are no Mid term elections to gauge peoples feelings. It is not correct as we have Local Council Elections but you edited it out.
Unless you are prepared to provide a proper FORUM I wont be wasting my time. It is turnining to be the same as the Sri Lnkan Paeliament.. Mahinthas Parliament where you can only hear Wimal the Weerawansa.

For Plato re his comment above
A few minutes ago (it is 1.30 pm now in Jaffna) a reporter informed me that a former LTTE man married and settled in Kilinochchi confessed to the killing and surrendered to the Police there in Kilinochchi.
Oh, this refers to the Vavunativu checkpoint murders, does it?
Plato was Right
Further to my last comment, the suspect in the Vavunaitivu killing of two policemen has surrendered to the police in Kilinochchi. He is also accused of stealing the guns of the policemen.
Named Rasanayagam Sarvananthan the suspect is from Batticaloa. He is 47 years old. He married in Vattakachchi. The Police seemed to have identified him and had gone to his home in the Kilinochchi area yesterday. He surrendered subsequently.
He has engaged in the vegetable trade around his new home using a cantor-type vehicle. His wife is also a former LTTE cadre. He has been produced before a magistrate.
Sarvananthan was once known as a high level Karuna Amman loyalist and served under him in Batticaloa. That much is confirmed.

This all sounds fairly good on paper, right? Well let's figure out how it appears in practice. In this review, we'll look at their drag and drop editor and see if it's any good for producing a web site, site or online shop.
On The broad spectrum of website building solutions, Weebly lives at the finish that is all-inclusive and provides all you need to begin and develop your site. It is compared to options where you purchase, set up, and manage all of the"bits" of your website separately.
Using Weebly is kind of like renting and customizing a apartment in a nice development rather than getting and owning your own residence. You're still in control of decor, cleaning, and everything living-wise — but you leave the building, plumbing, security, and infrastructure into the property owner. That point is critical because there's typically a direct tradeoff between convenience and control.
All The functionality and design which are contained with Weebly work together collectively as a stage. That's what allows them to own drag and drop layout, design, and content.
Website Builders as a team compete with options like WordPress.org (which provides the free software to build a website that you have & control — see my WordPress setup guide here) all the way to choices like typing real HTML code into a text file. Make sense? Awesome, let's dive to the Weebly review.
One Other quick aside — a disclosure — I get referral fees from all of the companies mentioned in this informative article. My remarks & research are based on my experiences like a paying customer or consultant to a paying client.
You might Discover That components snap into position And organize themselves flawlessly on the webpage. Other options, such as Wix, forego the grid system, so it's very possible to end up with overlapping elements. With Weebly, no risk of that occurring.
Working with text is also a breeze in Weebly. You simply click what you would like to edit and sort your own words in the box. Some other solutions use"entrance masks" that are a bit more subjective and not always easy to work with.
So are there Any drawbacks? That depends. If you want more freedom with your designs, then you might feel frustrated with the rigid grid system. You ought to go to get Wix. This competition also has an automated solution (Wix ADI) that can build the web site for you by itself. You can perhaps shave a few minutes of your website building time.
Additionally, there are two things we'd love to see. First is a worldwide undo button. It is possible to undo everything you type in text boxes, but it will be wonderful to erase mistakes when you move or add elements. Second, Weebly doesn't have an overall media database which keeps all your pictures. You'll need to re-upload pictures for each and every element that needs them.
If some of the Above are must-haves for your site, you will have to upgrade to Weebly Pro. And for a more comprehensive breakdown, please consult with our full Weebly pricing comparison page.
Let us get one thing out of the way first. if You are an innovative SEO expert who certainly must rank #1 on search engines for a very competitive key word, you may have a difficult time using Weebly. It's not impossible, but there are limits.
· Your headings are confined to H2. There's a free program which allows you add headings from h1 to h6, but it messes a bit with your formatting. We wonder Weebly doesn't incorporate it in their system.
· Certain pages (categories and product pages) include a compulsory string for your URL. You get things like www.yoursite.com/store/p1/my-product/yellow. Not a massive issue unless your website isn't in English. Same with the blog posts, they will have'/blog/' in the URL structure and this can't be changed.
As far as we Know, very safe. The company takes security very seriously. They promote strong passwords, and offer SSL encryption on all programs. The free tier will operate on https that delivers an excess layer of safety. Especially important for onsite personal data exchange (e.g. charge card or email address).
Regrettably, we wish Weebly offered more in the way of backup and restore systems. You've got to look after it manually by conserving your site as a .zip file frequently. And there is no restore function in case disaster strikes. Wix, for instance, tracks new changes and lets you jump back in time to a previous version of your site.
We have a Detailed post about Weebly's templates where you can read the main pros and cons. However, we wish to provide you here a quick overview of the main features here.
They automatically look great on each Apparatus (by being reactive ), and they may be adapted to match your personal needs, together with the templates as a base. No need for you to receive a web design diploma!
We'd say yes, with a caveat. It is great to Sell physical and digital products for small and medium-sized shops, but not for huge ones. Although you can use the export and import function to manage large number of items, you might discover Weebly lacking in features for massive stores.
Ultimately, it's worth noting that although You're able to create a store using the Starter and Pro program, updating to Business and greater makes more sense. You'll find the automatic shipping and sales tax calculator, which is very helpful for serious shop owners. What's more, you won't need to pay an additional transaction charge of 3%.
You bet! There are no less than 300 programs in A number of categories like eCommerce, Communication, Marketing, Social, or Site Tools. Some are free, some are paid. Some are built by Weebly, some by third-party developers. For the latter, there's always an (unlikely) possibility that it might shut down one day. Additionally a shame the programs produced by Weebly are quite restricted.
However, 1 thing all of the programs have in Common is a super easy installation attribute. Click and bam! All apps are analyzed and will work immediately on your site. We attempted some cool ones such as a way to include tables, event calendars, and data bars to display special info. Our only qualm is that the quality and quantity of apps is a marginally inferior those from the Wix App Store.
Weebly supplies Hosting for all of the sites which are constructed on their platform. That may be good or awful, however in Weebly's situation, it is an expert. They have rapid load rates. Their websites are optimized for their own hosting. They treat security against spam and hackers. With business plans, they install and keep SSL across your entire website. Here's my speed test.
Whenever You start any piece of software — no matter how intuitive — there is that moment where you think"okay, what do I do today?" This process is called onboarding, and it is also incredibly hard to execute well.
The Software manufacturer does not want to be bothersome, but they also wish to provide help. I love how Weebly assembles in strong onboarding and education not just via email trickle arrangement but also via small info buttons built with their platform.
One Promoted benefit of using an all-inclusive website builder is you won't have to write HTML or CSS code. You can just drag and drop elements. What you find in the builder is what you get on the website.
It is Not always that simple. There's a lot of nuances to"drop and drag." Most of us really mean"I wish to click and drag this element and move it into a general area where it will look good — you know, automatically focused, etc." In other words, it is like playing tee-ball rather than baseball…or bowling with gutter guards up. You wish to do something, but also have a little bit of assistance.
With An all-inclusive platform, client service is able to troubleshoot and correct any matter. This is a huge benefit of site builder platforms in general, but especially with Weebly because they have telephone support.
If You conduct your own site, you have to work out just who can fix a problem prior to getting in contact with them. With Weebly, you just get in touch with them.
The Significant advantage of creating your own website on your host is that you don't need to count on a platform's feature set. If you proceed the stage route, it's essential to make certain they have all the features you desire and need.
Even Past the advanced requirements, Weebly also includes features like discussion, subscription choices, integrated marketing options, file uploads, etc.. They also have eCommerce alternatives, which I'll cover individually below.
If You proceed the all-inclusive website builder course, Weebly's attribute set must provide everything you need for typical personal/business sites (though as we will see in the Cons section, you really do need to be specifically aware of innovative options).
If You are starting a site and plan on selling a couple of things here and there or in case you have an offline presence (ie, pop-up shops) and you want to market online, the Weebly offers a readymade solution with closely integrated ecommerce features that should only get better.
I have Been using site builders for 20 years because the Homestead.com times and have been paying attention to the industry for the previous 5 decades. One overarching trend is a company's structure pushes product investment more than the marketing group or the product group.
Even In a fast paced market, a company's construction and end goals will dictate how it behaves and what investments it gets. As I summarized in my Wix vs. Weebly vs. Squarespacestructure can differ wildly among direct competitors.
Total Pricing is very aggressive not only compared to other all-inclusive site buildersbut also with buying your hosting. Their Starter plan begins around $8/mo when paid up front. Plus they do not possess the common caps of other site builders. The Guru plan adds solid features and still stays under $12/mo.
In comparison To building your own site on your host and especially with other website builders, Weebly's pricing is quite aggressive. Price isn't everything, but I love how they structure it.
There's No method to add custom content forms (except inside a single page). If you're arranging a massive site (like hundreds of pages), the content within Weebly would need a private system to keep it sorted and readily reachable.
The Last huge disadvantage of Weebly is that moving to a new platform is not difficult. If you want to move someplace else, including your own WordPress powered site, migrating your content and redirecting your URLs will be a difficult process.
Since Weebly allows for HTML editing, most advertising tools and features can be added to your site. But since you still don't have 100% control over your site & host — it can be difficult or not impossible to include advanced marketing tools like an EV SSL, customized email collection tools, custom analytics packages, custom social stocks, specific Schemas and A/B testing software.
In The jargon — the main issue is not having"root" or"FTP" access to your server files. This isn't an unsolvable problem, but it is something to be careful of if you are planning a long-term job.
A bonus for Weebly is their eCommerce functionality. You can sell products from the Weebly site without switching platforms or doing any special developments. It fits in effortlessly and contains solid functionality.
It's Ideal for sites which are mostly lead-generation, informational, etc but also wish to sell a few goods. Additionally, it is a fantastic match for anybody testing out products prior to going to a long-term platform. It's not a long-term match for websites which are eCommerce-first. For all those, an online store you have with WordPress + WooCommerce or a specialization eCommerce platform such as Shopify (inspection ) or even Bigcommerce (review) are a much better fit.
If You are looking to build a long-term articles or lead generation site, then I would consider WordPress.com (for articles ) or Wix (for general drag & drop) rather than Weebly. Even if Weebly matches your needs now, they might not in the future.
When we first started testing Weebly many Years ago, it was just another site builder. That's completely changed. Weebly has evolved into an outstanding site building tool that is better than most competitors. It's easy, uncluttered and simple to use — which is precisely what people with limited technical abilities need in regards to making their own internet presence.
Of course, it's not 100% perfect. We'd like To see a bit more templates, for instance. Finding an email address attached to your domain is also a little pricey, as they urge G Suite, that costs $5 a month, per user. (Although there are workarounds, since you can see in the FAQ below).
But all in all, Weebly reaches the top of the list of site builders. Their ease of use combined with cool tools such as the iOS or Android program for editing your site on the go, or the amount of add-ons out there from the program centre makes it powerful, and enjoyable to use.

Nurse 'adopts' homeless man she just met so he can get a heart transplant
1 Votes Comments Off on Nurse 'adopts' homeless man she just met so he can get a heart transplant
(Scott Wang Photography)
Jonathan Pinkard desperately needed a heart transplant.
But Pinkard was homeless, and he did not have a support system to help care for him after a transplant — and that disqualified him from the waiting list for a new heart.
"It was a pretty scary situation to be in," said Pinkard, 27, who had been living in a men's shelter and working as an office clerk in Warm Springs, Ga. "I had no idea what I was going to do."
Then in December — four months after he learned he needed a new heart — Pinkard landed in the hospital again, but this time he was assigned to nurse Lori Wood. He was her patient for two days at Piedmont Newnan Hospital when she figured out what was going on and stunned him with a remarkable offer: He could move in with her. She could become his guardian and look after him.
"I couldn't believe that somebody who had known me only two days would do this," he said. "It was almost like a dream."
Wood, 57, who has been a nurse for 35 years, said she had never done anything like this before. She generally doesn't blur the lines between her personal life and her professional work at the hospital, which is about 40 miles from Atlanta. But something about Pinkard was different. He didn't have anybody in the world looking out for him — and that was standing between him and a new heart.
"That can be very frustrating if you know a patient needs something, and for whatever reason, they can't have it," she said. "It gnaws at you."
She said her frustration grew when there were medical tests he needed to have but he wasn't getting them because he wasn't a candidate for a new heart.
"At some point, God places people in situations in your life, and you have a choice to do something about it," she said. "For me, there was no choice. I'm a nurse; I had an extra room. It was not something I struggled with. He had to come home with me."

Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to women and children fleeing abuse.
Our story is a story of hope. Like many Canadians, Marc Hull-Jacquin, founder and Executive Director wanted to make a positive difference in his community. While on paternity leave in 2016, Marc began examining gender-based violence in Canada and realized how difficult and dangerous it can be for survivors attempting to leave their abuser.
Marc began developing a concept for a free moving service. With guidance from local shelters and community agencies, Marc and a small team of volunteers developed a survivor-centred, free moving service to fill a critical gap for people leaving abuse. Shelter Movers' unique volunteer-based service is the only one of this kind in Canada.
One woman or girl is killed every 2.5 days, most often by an intimate partner.
1 in 5 women experience a form of abuse in their spousal relationship.
The annual societal cost of violence against women in Canada is $7.2 billion.
In Canada and around the world, the most dangerous place for women and children is in their own home. Abuse and violence depend on isolation and control. Abusers are more likely to escalate control (up to and including femicide) when a survivor (1) announces their intention to leave or (2) when the abuser learns she is pregnant.
Survivors face the prospect of losing everything they own when they decide to leave. Moving and storing one's belongings is expensive, logistically complicated and often dangerous.
Gender-Based Violence in Canada
1 in 3 Canadians report experiencing abuse before the age of 15
Shelter Movers supports families fleeing violence with, on average, two children under the age of 9.
83% of people who experience violence are women
Although women are more likely to experience gender-based violence, Shelter Movers serves all survivors of abuse, regardless of gender identity.
The home is the most likely place for women in Canada to experience violence
Women face higher danger when attempting to leave an abusive household. Shelter Movers eases the financial, emotional and physical barriers to fleeing with one's belongings, children and pets.
Each year, police receive 93,000 annual reports, or 1,113 incidents of violence against women per every 100,000 people
Violence against women affects every community across Canada. Shelter Movers continues to establish new chapters to meet the need.

SakhaliaNet Content Network	comprises a series of thematic websites about different topics. The network is created and administered by a sole person, programmer/designer/editor Sakhal (se.liamtoh@tessarnamat).
Warship Pictures was the first website published, which appeared in the late 2008. It was a simple collection of warships illustrations to which later would be added some articles to add weight in the search engines. This website evolved into the heavier Ship Pictures, started in 2012 with no little effort. After suffering a hard penalty in search engines, the website was moved to its current location. The project Military History was started in the early 2014 and it is the most sophisticated of the three, requiring as well a huge amount of work. On the other hand, WW2 Color Photos was a website started in 2012 and currently out of schedule. From a mere collection of photos it was upgraded to show also a rather special collection of vintage artwork.
Not everything moves around military or naval history. Parallely, a transitory dedication to music composing left as consequence the websites Free VST and Sakhal Music Studio. The sometimes excessive interest raised by programming left as result websites like Dagovar: A Visual Basic Game or More Than Dreams (started in 2014 and currently including Dagovar within it). Drawing and painting was also treated in another website which is currently discontinued. Also discontinued is the project Sahara Territory, started in 2011, albeit this discontinuity is not definitive for much material is still in storage. A newer addition (from 2015) was History of the Railway, project which however not being actively updated, is still not officially discontinued.
VorKuta is certainly the most sophisticated creation from a technical standpoint, but there is more in the locker. Other creations include: graphical charts with interactive spots, algorithms which construct graphical text with borders that stand in any background, random algorithms for different presentations such as navigational or decorative items, computing algorithms to easily create statistics that can be presented in different ways, algorithms to rate items and, finally, an express generator which can generate hundreds of template webpages per minute if necessary.


TAIPEI, Taiwan - Only 13 percent of people in Taiwan area choose the public transport system, while as high as 72 percent still opt for using their own vehicles and motorcycles, according to a survey by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC).
Of the 23 counties and cities, excluding frontline islands of Kinmen and Matsu, more than 10 percent of commuters only in capital Taipei City, the adjacent Taipei County and Keelung City, and Taoyuan County, currently use public transport networks.
Residents in Taipei City have the highest utilization rate of 34.1 percent, through choosing the buses and mass rapid transit (MRT) networks.
The number of people using several area public transport systems accounts for less than five percent, including the counties of Yunlin, Chiayi, Taitung, Hualien, Penghu and the city of Tainan, according to the survey.
Chiayi City has the lowest rate of only 2.5 percent.
Island wide, as high as 48 percent of people choose motorcycles or motor scooters for commuting and other transport purposes, as well as for convenience and high mobility, compared with 23 percent driving private cars.
The number using bicycles reaches 5.9 percent, compared with 7.2 percent choosing to walk.
The survey finds that other factors causing residents to favor motorcycles or drive their own car includes long travel-distances from bus stops or train stations.
In order to encourage more people to use public transport systems, the MOTC has mapped out a plan to improve highway transport services with a budget of NT$150 million (S$6.6 million) over three years.
The measures will include updating bus routes so that more convenient transfer services are provided for commuters.
Funds will be offered to local-level governments that demonstrate effective efforts to win more people over to using public transport, especially in remote areas.
MOTC Minister Mao Chih-kuo said the survey findings enhances the ministry's plan to shelve the costly projects of building MRT networks sought by local municipal and county governments.
He said the MRT systems should be constructed only after the local administrations improve their bus services and cultivate a massive clientele for public transport networks.
Otherwise, he said, there will be tremendous financial losses to increase the financial burden of tax payers. The MOTC's stance has won support from other government agencies, including the Ministry of Finance, the Council for Economic Planning and Development, and the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting & Statistics, Minister Mao said.
