I believe that all the other Toast & Toast restaurants are halal certified, so I personally assume that this one is, or at least in the process of getting the certification as well.
Toast & Toast is located in Eco Botanic, in the square surrounding the apartment (tall building) Eco Nest. What you want to do is find the MAIN ENTRANCE of Eco Botanic and go along the row parallel to it (including shops like Chat In and Good China Taste), and towards the end, you'll see Toast n Toast.
Address: No 5, Jalan Eco Botani 3/5, Taman Eco Botani, 79100 Iskandar Puteri, Johor.
I'm not personally 100% clear about this, but I do believe that they open from 8am to 6pm daily.
I went there with my girlfriend, and we got 2 mains, a toast and a drink to share. We had a curry chicken rice, a nasi lemak and a kaya toast coupled with 2 drinks.
Our total came out to be RM34, with the breakdown being roughly RM14 for the mains and RM6 for the rest of it (can't quite recall, but ultimately our bill came to RM34). So we're talking about RM17 for a meal per person (with drinks) if you want to add on toast, or maybe around RM14 without - which I would say is on the pricier side for this kind of a meal, but still a relatively cheap option for the area.
I personally had one of their more popular dishes, the santan-less curry chicken rice. For me, I think that they actually have a really nice sauce for that curry. But, I almost WISH they used santan for the curry! I don't believe there is an option on the menu for the curry chicken to be made with santan, but oh well. This is still a pretty nice dish, and definitely something that more healthy folk will probably enjoy eating - given it has that curry taste without the jelat-nature of the santan.
My girlfriend took more of the nasi lemak, and I guess it was okay-ish. This is one of the more 'pure fat' style of nasi lemak - in the sense that the bulk of this meal filling you up will be the rice itself, your usual suspects in the ikan bilis, nuts, sambal and egg. You also have that small little piece of otak-otak which I guess makes this a more unique nasi lemak. The rice is pretty fragrant, but the piece of otak-otak is pretty small and almost sad, and I would say doesn't taste too great.
The toast tastes like pretty much toast that you can get anywhere else. I would say that there is nothing too special about it, but there isn't anything bad I can say about it either.
More for quick meals if you don't really want to think about cooking, or just for a quick convenient meal. I can't imagine any other reason why you could possibly really want to eat here.
5.5/10. I would say this is definitely quite a bit more expensive that its counterpart in Toast House (right behind), and I feel as though I definitely liked the food better there, so I personally recommend that as a better option. That's not saying that this is bad, just that my PERSONAL PREFERENCE would be to eat at Toast House.


After a comprehensive fire investigation, the Fire Marshal has determined that the cause of a devastating apartment fire in Toronto last September was a discarded cigarette that landed on combustible materials on the balcony of a neighboring apartment.
The tremendous growth and spread of the fire, in which 17 people including five children and three firefighters were injured, was a result of hoarding.
Given this was a large multi-unit dwelling, the intensity of the fire hampered firefighting efforts and created a significant risk to first responders and those attempting to evacuate the building. Investigators conclude this was due to the excessive amount of materials stored on the balcony, which well exceeded the height of the safety railing, and combustible materials that were stored at a significant depth throughout the apartment.
It would have been easy for someone to have been trapped inside.
"Though we are fortunate no one died as a result, this fire caused significant property loss and hardship for everyone who lived in the building," according to Ted Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal.
The 30 storey, 711 unit residential apartment building owned by Toronto Community Housing Corporation was operated by a property management company at the time of the fire.
Landlords and property owners to asked to inform local fire departments of instances of hoarding where they believe it poses a fire safety risk. Local fire departments can help to address these instances of hoarding through their partnerships with other community mental health and supporting agencies.

Abusive therapist, Maria Mellano, revisited…..
Yesterday I contacted some alternative medical people regarding this persistent insomnia I have. I keep coming up with answers and new solutions. I know I have a long history of wishful thinking-type solutions, solutions that only appear to work for a very short time. Then, I realize the solution isn't working at all and I am back to Square One (or worse) and exhausted as usual, sleeping very little or not at all, frustrated and angry that this problem has gone on and on and on, with no end in sight.
I keep telling myself that maybe I need to face the facts. Maybe there's no solution. My friend says it's permanent brain damage from the drugs and I need to face it. Great. So people are telling me I have to live like this for the rest of my life.
Drag drag drag drag. Barely awake. Non-functional. Can't even think. Can't remember from moment to moment.
I convince myself that this insomnia will end very very soon. I convinced myself of this years ago, and as you can see, that was a total lie I told myself just to keep myself from doing myself in. This is why I have not killed myself.
Please note: If you saw the whole talk, to untangle the awful mess she got herself into, she went back to the beginning and went step by step. How did it all happen?
I suddenly stopped sleeping in mid-2011. This was drastic for me. I went from sleeping fine to sleeping 3-1/2 hours, then sleeping barely at all. What else?
I was abused at MGH. I experienced bradycardia. I have toyed with the idea that my brain could have been oxygen-starved. However, if it was, I'd show other signs of brain damage, too. I've been tested for stroke many times. You'd think brain damage would show up in other ways besides just sleep. I was also dehydrated, and then, MGH deprived me further of water due to their own stupidity since they didn't recognize that I had diabetes insipidus. Still, I don't think that would cause insomnia. I stopped antipsychotics, but I think any resulting insomnia would improve over time. It hasn't. Also, if this were a dopamine issue, then the dopamine antagnoist supplements I have tried would have had some effect. I have now tried two, and these have not helped. I have also tried NAC, which I also had great hopes for, but that, too, was another case of "wishful thinking." I tried light therapy which helped at first but then I had to concede that this was also "wishful thinking." Vitamins also had the "wishful thinking" effect. I worked on trauma and concluded that the insomnia following abuse would have resolved by now. Was I really back at Square One after all this time and effort? Yesterday I toyed with the thought of paying these alternative people a huge sum of money….but then I realized I'd lose the money (I don't even have that much remaining on my credit card) and I don't think they guarantee a thing.
But wait….What if I traced all this back. What happened way back in 2011? What about 2010? I remember late in 2010, I was really happy. My whole life was finally coming together. Then, I made the mistake of walking into Maria Mellano's office, thinking I was doing the right thing. I had no clue that very soon, all that I had done to make my life better would end. Would anyone have suspected?
Oh, the nice office, those cushions on that couch, and the smell of that…whatever the hell it was. Stinky perfume or whatever she had in there. Ugh. It reeked. Was it some herb or flowers or something? Geez, don't some patients have allergies? I'd feel like I was going to pass out from that flowery stink, but I didn't say anything. Every time I sat on the couch, I felt like I sank into it and I'd get trapped into it. Like I'd never get out. She had so many pillows in there. You were supposed to punch them or cry into them or hug them. Yuck.
Oh, then the scarves hanging everywhere. This was for Psycho-drama. And two huge tubs of Stuffed Animals. This was to control and manipulate her patients. Maria Mellano was a rather unstable and fearful person herself, so her way of maintaining a feeling of control over her world was to impose a ridiculous amount of unnecessary power over those who came to her for "help." Unfortunately, her patients ended up confused, angry, or even suicidal as a result of this "therapy." At first, some of us resorted to Stockholm Syndrome as a natural coping mechanism to deal with the abuse, until we wised up and quit.
I started seeing Maria right around Thanksgiving 2010. Right at this time, I was very happy, sleeping well, getting my eating back together, and had two good friends that I had regular spoken contact with. Immediately after the very first session, Maria tried to disempower me. She demanded that I get force-weighed. She demanded that I stop running. She got very bossy about many other things as well. She said she was "different," implying "better," but of course I knew she was completely wrong. She insisted she "knew better," knew better than I did. I began to realize that this was abuse, but this was a slow realization. Too slow.
Then what happened? The fiasco at McLean. I was put on Trileptal, which messed me up for months until I figured it out and got off of it. Then what? I finally got that tooth out after five wrong teeth were pulled. The right tooth was so infected by then that I had to take an antibiotic.
After that, I noticed I had very bad edema. This was due to kidney disease. The kidney disease was either ignored or they were so stupid they didn't even know. How can you ignore a GFR of 40 or below? I didn't know if the swelling in my feet and ankles was from the antibiotic or from something else, though. I was pissed either way. I knew information was being kept from me, and I knew I was getting terrible medical care either way.
I was so pissed off that to defy Maria and all of them, I overexercised. I should have known better. I was in a tizzy, really. I am generally not one to do things like that, but I was cornered and powerless. By then, I had lost so much, lost my friends, was bewildered by the effects of the Trileptal and deception afterward. I was just plain frustrated and had no outlet and no one was listening. I couldn't run with edema, so I walked over 10 miles a day. My shoes didn't even fit on my feet at that point. That is why my knee got injured. I think I overexercised for about a month before the joint gave in.
If I recall correctly, I was about three to five weeks on crutches, then I was okay. Maria was horrible to me. I heard no end of all that. I deserved it. Served me right. I finally got to an orthopedist. The verdict was that I would never walk nor run again.
After I saw Maria Mellano's reaction to this verdict I really should never have gone back to her. I should have brought a video camera to my therapy session. I told her what the ortho had told me. Her whole face lit up. Power. Control. She said, "Yay." I'm not kidding! She really did! She really said, "Yay." She was happy to have me handicapped. Thrilled that I would not walk nor run again. Happy that my power was now gone, and her control was absolute.
If she had been a decent therapist, she would have recommended, perhaps, that I get a second opinion. Or perhaps alternative care, or alternative solutions of some kind. No, she told me I should accept my fate and do nothing for the rest of my life except be an invalid. Maybe watch TV. A proper mental patient. Actually, she was planning on committing me to State, but I didn't know that yet.
Folks, in addition to stopping antipsychotic medication the next month, getting abused at MGH the following month, starving myself very badly at the same time, becoming dehydrated, having a dangerously slow heart beat….I also stopped running.
Have I resumed? No, not regularly. I had to stop entirely for a long time after the knee injury. I have indeed started again, but it never lasted long, or I'd only run once a week or so. Or less. I kept on ending up with practical problems, such as the Oven. That's what stopped me last time.
Running is free. Those alternative medical people are going to cost me over $600. Whenever I have exercised vigorously, I have been happier in every way. I have slept better, I have eaten better, I have had a better social life, and I have been a more productive writer.
Screw you, Maria. I'm free of your psycho-abuse. I am running away from all that nonsense realizing that I am alive because I defied the doctors, defied the "recommendations" from other people and institutions who only thought they knew better, and instead, became who I am, and already was.


Saturday's fixtures in the JFL were nothing short of a stone cold disaster for the two clubs nearest to leaders Honda FC in the race for the 2006 championship. Both YKK AP and Rosso Kumamoto will have gone into their fixtures hoping to close the gap between themselves and Honda to a more manageable three points in advance of the top team's match at Alo's Hokuriku on Sunday.
But YKK's recent good form was brought to an abrupt end by Sagawa Kyubin Tokyo, who themselves move second following a superb 3-0 win in Toyama. Isao Kubota's late goal for Tochigi SC also condemned Rosso to their third home defeat of the year and knocks the Kyushu-based outfit back to fourth. Bearing it in mind that they need a top-two finish to gain their desired promotion to J2, this is clearly bad news - made worse by Sagawa Tokyo and Honda's apparent invincibility at present.
The three other games all had more of an impact upon the rankings in the lower half of the JFL table. FC Kariya and FC Ryukyu both let badly-needed victories slip through their fingers by conceding last-minute equalisers at home to Sagawa Printing and Arte Takasaki respectively. The big winners, however, were the students of Ibaraki's Ryutsu Keizai University, who moved above both Ryukyu and Sagawa Printing thanks to their 2-1 triumph over a declining SC Tottori.

Praise for What Zola Did on Monday
A charming series that will enchant all who read it.
What an absolute joy [this book] is! From start to finish it ticks every box I love! . . . it's about re-connecting with community and sharing care, compassion and concern. There is a rich diversity in families with single parents, same-sex parents, multi-generational families and different cultures . . . Perfect for newly independent readers or for class or home read-alouds, I highly recommend this for little humans from around 6 years upwards.
Sue Warren, Just So Stories
A beautiful big family, cousins living in the house behind you, a hole in the fence for you to climb through and play. A beautiful street, a community of people you love . . . a neglected garden that everyone has forgotten. . . . . . a beautiful junior novel about family and community. . . It truly does warm your heart as you read it . . . This is a junior fiction series to pay attention to. It's absolutely stunning!
kids-bookreview.com
Highly recommended. A series of stories for the newly capable reader [that] will captivate its audience as they read of a girl just like them: one who gets into trouble without trying to, who seemingly does the wrong thing without meaning to, but is loved and cherished despite her shortcomings . . . Well supported with charming, family friendly illustrations, this lovely rounded story is told with a sensitivity for the generations that have preceded us. The tale will delight younger readers, eager to find out how Zola resolves the situation she has made.
Fran Knight, readplus.com.au
Marchetta weaves a simple but engaging story that encompasses multigenerational families and a close-knit community working together. The black and white drawings by debut illustrator Deb Hudson are absolutely gorgeous and add a great deal of charm to an already delightful story. What Zola Did on Monday is a great book for a child who is in the early stages of their reading journey. Early readers aged 5–7 are very fortunate to now have a Melina Marchetta story just for them.
Angela Crocombe, Books + Publishing
A story bursting with warmth, family love, troublesome dogs, and growing things . . . perfect for beginning readers who are ready to try reading chapter books on their own or aloud to an adult. Alternatively, the book is also perfect for a caregiver to read aloud to a child who is not quite ready to read independently but still enjoys a story with a little more heart and solid storyline . . . Even slightly older readers would enjoy these books because Zola is such a delightful, thoughtful, and slightly mischievous character. The text is broken up with Deb Hudson's charming black and white illustrations, which add warmth to the story and depict a diversity of characters.
Sandy Bigna, Aussie Kids Books
There is a story for every day of the week in Melina Marchetta's new series for newly independent readers – not that each bright little chapter book is confined to one day: we don't find out what Zola and her cousin Alessandro do on Mondays until the end of a book in which a lot of things happen and a modern neighbourhood is unobtrusively set up. . . The book is in eight spacious large-print chapters with Deb Hudson's very expressive illustrations in shades of grey and black on almost every page. . . Young readers – particularly girls? – are encouraged with tick lists and pretty name-plates to collect the whole series and embark on an entertaining and instructive pathway to reading competence.
Katharine England, Magpies
Melina Marchetta is a novelist we normally associate with award-winning young adult fiction, and more recently her adult novels Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil and The Place on Dalhousie. Now, for the first time, she turns her prodigious talents to junior fiction. Her new series will have seven books, each titled for a different day of the week (although this first book is set over a longer time period), featuring a young girl and her neighbourhood. In What Zola Did on Monday, the first short chapter book, Marchetta introduces the delightfully cheeky Zola. There are three generations of women living in Zola's house, while Zola's younger cousin, Alessandro, lives in the house behind them. Everyone in the street likes to admire the amazing flowers in Zola's garden, which is tended by her Nonna. There are two dogs, Monty and Gigi, one of whom is very naughty indeed, and school is just across the road in what used to be a community garden that has fallen into disrepair. Marchetta weaves a simple but engaging story that encompasses multigenerational families and a close-knit community working together. The black and white drawings by debut illustrator Deb Hudson are absolutely gorgeous and add a great deal of charm to an already delightful story. What Zola Did on Monday is a great book for a child who is in the early stages of their reading journey. Early readers aged 5–7 are very fortunate to now have a Melina Marchetta story just for them.

Q: How to remove all special characters in Linux text
How to remove the special characters shown as blue color in the picture 1 like: ^M, ^A, ^@, ^[. In my understanding, ^M is a windows newline character, I can use sed -i '/^M//g' to remove it, but it doesn't work to remove others. The command dos2unix doesn't work, neither. Are there exist any ways that I can use to remove them both?

A: Remove everything except the printable characters (character class [:print:]), with sed:
sed $'s/[^[:print:]\t]//g' file.txt

[:print:] includes:

*

*[:alnum:] (alpha-numerics)

*[:punct:] (punctuations)

*space

The ANSI C quoting ($'') is used for interpreting \t as literal tab inside $'' (in bash and alike).

A: Try running below command on linux command prompt
Option - 1: (If dos2unix command is installed on Linux machine)
dos2unix sample_file.txt

Option - 2:
cat sample_file.txt | tr -d '\015' > new_sample_file.txt

A: To ensure that the command works with limited scope in Sed, force use of the "C" (POSIX) character classifications to avoid unpredictable behavior with non-ASCII characters:
LC_ALL=C sed 's/[^[:blank:][:print:]]//g' file.txt

A: Try this inside vi or vim:
[in ESC mode] type: :%s/^M//g
or:
sed -e "s/^M//" filename > newfilename

Important: To enter ^M, type CTRL-V, then CTRL-M

Several communities across the Kootenays will be implementing measures such as promoting solar power, providing electric vehicle charging stations, composting stations, and other measures to go emissions free by 2050. Calvin Beauchesne is hoping that Golden will join them. (West Kootenay Renewable Energy photo)
Golden council asked to pass state of emergency on climate change
Several communities across the West Kootenays have already committed to be emissions free by 2050
Golden town council received a presentation on Tuesday, Dec. 7, asking them to declare a state of emergency over the ongoing climate crisis.
Calvin Beauchesne, a resident of the area for three years who delivered the presentation and holds a bachelor's degree in environmental studies and a master's degree in sustainability, cited that over 2,000 communities worldwide have made a similar declaration. Several major Canadian cities such as Toronto, Vancouver and most recently, Calgary, have declared climate emergencies, with approximately 500 other Canadian jurisdictions also declaring a state of emergency.
"Every government has a role to play in this," said Beachesne to council.
"Simply put, climate change is an emergency, and the tone from the media and the government doesn't reflect the concerns of the scientific community.
Beauchesne cited how the Paris agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 C by the end of the century is already seeming unattainable, with warming already passing the 1.1 C threshold in March 2020. The consequences of this warming can already be seen, with the heat dome, wildfires, atmospheric rivers and other intense weather events that have hit the province over the last year all examples of the impacts of the climate crisis.

In Golden, Beauchesne says that climate change will impact the type of active lifestyle people like to live in the region.
"I moved to Golden to enjoy the outdoors as many people and that is increasingly harder to do with fires and smoke and heatwaves," said Beauchesne.
"I know a lot of people in this community that really care about this issue and I really hope that council takes this seriously and we can continue this convo (sic) in the future."
In addition to the presentation, Beachesne provided a template for what the declaration would look like, as well as a pamphlet on the West Kootenay 100 per cent Renewable Energy Plan, which outlines a pathway for communities to commit to being 100 per cent green by 2050.
Similar communities to Golden, such as Castlegar, Nelson, Rossland and Kaslo all committing to eliminating emissions by 2050.
Beauchesne also says that implementing these changes could be an economic opportunity for many in the town, with options such as solar panels paying for themselves in five years and providing up to 15 years of free energy after that initial period.
"I agree that we all have a role and although to this point in time we haven't formally declared a climate emergency I know our staff have worked hard to integrate things to reduce our footprint, but this is more opportunity to expand on that," said Mayor Ron Oszust.
"This is very exciting and creates hope for all of us, but when we look at the big picture and consider our limitations, but I'm happy to see someone in our community push this forward," said councillor Connie Barlowe.
Beauchesne's recommendation to council to put forward a motion to declare an emergency will now be deliberated and discussed before officially moving forward at future council meetings if council chooses.

Even though he says these things in jest, there is an underlining bleakness to his sarcastic apathy.
Me: "A lot of people have this attitude. It's really sad."
Later, after Darren gets sent home, Leslie strolls in sort of unannounced. We had been in text communication earlier today. After a failed attempt to hang out yesterday evening she texted me this afternoon. I had made mention while in conversation with her over the phone yesterday that I compare our friendship to that of viewing a movie in ten or fifteen minute increments but hitting pause for weeks, or months, at a time. I also relayed my frustration with our inconsistency in communication. She tends to disappear every now and then, like a magic trick. Through a few hefty sincere texts she apologizes and explains herself.
Leslie, "I am sorry that I can't be the movie you watch at once..." then including a statement about pushing people away as she pulls them closer.
I reply in the same hefty sincere style, "I want to be able to offer you some kind of relief from all of Leslie's hazy life troubles."
At any rate she's here visiting with me. While snapping the peas I discover a miniature-sized anomaly of a snow pea. And thus the snow pea growth chart was formed.

Q: Pull configuration settings from an API in Startup.cs In my Startup.cs class I have the following
    services.AddAuthentication(options =>
        {
            options.DefaultScheme = "cookie";
            options.DefaultChallengeScheme = "oidc";
            options.DefaultSignOutScheme = "oidc";
        })
        .AddCookie("cookie", options =>
        {
            options.Cookie.Name = "cookie name";
            options.Cookie.SameSite = SameSiteMode.Strict;
        })
        .AddOpenIdConnect("oidc", options =>
        {
            options.Authority = "the authority URL";

            options.ClientId = "the client identifier";
            options.ClientSecret = "super secret";

            options.Scope.Clear();
            options.Scope.Add("openid");
            options.Scope.Add("profile");
            options.Scope.Add("api");
        });

And contrary to having hardcoded values, I would like to call an API to get them. The API will return a model named FooAuthenticationConfiguration.

A: I don't know if I undestood correctly what you want to do, but tell me if this works for you:
In Startup.cs, create a method like:
        private async Task GetConfiguration()
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
            var Response = await client.GetAsync("https://reqres.in/api/users/2");
        }

Convert the ConfigureServices into an Async Method and calls in the beggining the GetConfiguration() like this:
    public async void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        await GetConfiguration();
        //....
    }

A: You could do something like this.
This is the Program.cs from a Blazor WASM but should work similarly
var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.Services.AddApiAuthorization(c =>
{
    c.ProviderOptions.ConfigurationEndpoint = $"{builder.Configuration["ApiBaseUri"]}/_configuration/auth";
});

And then the Controller in your Api would look like this..
[ApiController]
[Route("_configuration")]
public class ConfigurationController
    : ControllerBase
{
    readonly IConfiguration configuration;

    public ConfigurationController(
        IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        this.configuration = configuration;
    }

    [HttpGet, Route("auth")]
    public IActionResult GetAuthConfiguration()
    {

        var settings = new Dictionary<string, object?>()
        {
            { "authority", configuration.GetValue<string>("oAuth:Authority") },
            { "scope", "openid profile" },
            { "response_type", "code" },
            { "redirect_uri", "myUrl" }
        };

        return new JsonResult(settings);
    }
}

Q: c# and WebRequest: change contentlenght I've to send some post to a server, so i create a webrequest set the method, the content type and the content lenght. It works ok.
Now I want to send a second post so I need to change the contentlenght but I give an exception and i don't understand why.

A: You haven't told us the error details, but I suspect the first request has not yet completed. IMO, unless you are doing something particularly subtle, it is often a good idea to use WebClient, which is a wrapper around WebRequest (etc) that greatly simplifies the API - for example you can just call the UploadData method, or DownloadString, etc. These are easy to call successively.

Chris Smalling is "just a tall guy with tall arms" as Jose Mourinho played down the Manchester United defender's clash with Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi in the Champions League.
Messi was left bruised and blooded in Barca's 1-0 first-leg quarter-final victory at Old Trafford after taking a blow on Wednesday.
The Barca captain – who was uncharacteristically quiet – was struck as Smalling attempted to win the ball ahead of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner midweek in Manchester.
"That situation with Smalling and Messi is nothing. It happens," former United manager Mourinho said during his appearance on RT.
"By the defensive point of view, they [United] were good, keeping a lot of people behind the ball. But again, there are two legs, you will have to go away in the second game," Mourinho continued.

Between 1945 and 2007 Nepalese banknotes were issued with the portraits of four different kings. Starting in October 2007 the king's portrait was replaced by Mount Everest on all notes which have been issued since.

1945 - 1955

The early banknotes which were issued between 1945 and 1955 during the rule of King Tribhuvan were not put into circulation by a Central Bank which did not exist in Nepal at that time. The issuing authority was the treasury which had the name Sadar Muluki Khana. Therefore, the notes of king Tribhuvan were not signed by a bank governor, but by a Kajanchi (head of the treasury) who was a high Hindu priest in the same time. Nepal's early paper currency probably includes the only notes of the world which were signed by a high priest. These early notes were printed by the Indian Security Press in Nashik and do not have any security features, except for the water marks and the special paper on which they are printed.

1955 - 1972

Starting with King Mahendra who succeeded to his father Tribhuvan in 1955, the banknotes were issued by Nepal Rastra Bank (Nepal National Bank) which was founded in April 1956. The signature of the governors of this institution is found on the banknotes which were issued after this date.
Under king Mahendra the Nepalese Government became "His Majesty's Government" (expressed by "shri 5 ko sarakar" which literally means "the government of the five times honoured") and remained this way during the rule of Birendra and Gyanendra.
Two series of banknotes were issued during the rule of king Mahendra: The first series shows the king in civilian clothes wearing the Nepalese "topi" while on the notes of the second series the king is shown in military uniform. The second series comprised for the first time notes of the high value of 500 and 1000 rupees.

1972 - 2001

During King Birendra's rule one can also distinguish between two major series of banknotes. The first series features the king wearing military uniform while on the notes of the second series the king is wearing the traditional Nepalese crown adorned with feathers of the bird of paradise. During this period regular banknotes of 2 and 20 rupees and special banknotes of 25 and 250 rupees were issued for the first time.

2001 - 2007

The banknotes issued during this period have the same basic design as those of King Birendra whose portrait was simply replaced by that of his younger brother and successor Gyanendra. The low values of 1 and 2 rupees, and the special values of 25 and 250 rupees were not issued any more.

The legends found on the last issues of Gyanendra revert to Nepal sarkar ("Nepalese Government"), thus omitting the reference to the king.

2007/2008

In October 2007, a 500 rupee note was issued on which the king's portrait was replaced by and image of Mount. Everest. This reflects the historical change from kingdom to republic which took place in May 2008 in Nepal. Further notes of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1,000 rupees with Mount Everest and without references to the king in their legends followed in 2008. The first issues of the 500 and 1000 rupees notes were printed on paper which still had the king's crowned portrait as a watermark in the "window" on the right part of the face of the notes. It was decided to print a red Rhododendron flower (Nepal's national flower) on top of the watermark. Notes of these denominations which were issued in 2009 and thereafter are printed on paper which has a rhododendron flower as watermark instead of the royal portrait and were therefore released without the additional overprint in red.

2012-2019
In 2012, Nepal Rastra Bank issued a revised banknote series that are similar to the 2007 series, but now include inscriptions in English and the date of issue on the back.

Currency unit
The currency unit of the Tribhuvan and early Mahendra notes was the mohar (spelt moru on the banknotes), which originally was a silver coin which weighed about 5.4 grams and represented about half an Indian Rupee. The later notes of Mahendra and the issues of the subsequent rulers Birendra and Gyanendra were issued with the denomination rupee (spelt rupaya[n] on the notes).

Printers
The banknotes with the portrait of The King Tribhuvan were printed in Nashik (India). The later issues were supplied by firms such as De La Rue and Giesecke & Devrient.

Russian billionaire Dmitri Rybolovlev is hard to find — but determined process server surprises him on Hawaii tarmac between flights
Marks third time Chris Williams has been called on to deliver court papers
By Barbara Ross / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Thursday, May 17, 2012, 9:56 PM
A Russian billionaire was slapped with a Manhattan lawsuit this week — and serving the papers required the kind of cunning and derring-do reserved for a Hollywood screenplay and CIA black ops.
Process server Chris Williams has been called on three times to track down fertilizer king Dmitri Rybolovlev in Hawaii and hand him documents.
To say it hasn't been easy is like saying the U.S. had a little trouble locating Osama Bin Laden. Rybolovlev — who's being sued by
his estranged wife over a $95 million Florida mansion and an $88 million New York condo — travels in caravans, beds down in gated communities and is shadowed by hulking German guards.
When Williams served him in 2010, he had to jump onto the hood of the oligarch's speeding black Cadillac Escalade in Maui and slap the envelope on the windshield, court papers say.
Another time, Rybolovlev's white Escalade "swerved into the oncoming lane" to avoid Williams and almost drove into a curb in
Maui. Williams leaped to the windshield and left the documents there.
The latest encounter, at Lihue Airport on Kauai on Wednesday, was tamer but trickier.
David Newman, who represents the Russian's wife, wanted to serve the $6 billion man an amended lawsuit over a Central Park West pad he supposedly bought for his daughter, Ekaterina.
Newman learned Rybolovlev's personal 737 Airbus was at the airport, where he was expected to arrive by helicopter.
"We were lucky to get on the tarmac, which is not easy to do, and when the helicopter landed 100 yards from the plane, as Mr.
Rybolovlev was going up the steps, our person pounced and put the papers into his hands," Newman said.
"He was surprised. He had an extremely unhappy look on his face. I would not like to be the security team that took a long ride with him after that."
Williams said he made six sets of papers — each 234 pages — for members of his team posted around the airport in case the target drove in.
"This was an extremely detailed, handto-hand, eye-to-eye service," Williams said. "He's diffi cult to serve because of all the security around him. He's got at least two German guards who are over six feet tall."

On Feb. 4, 2016, a jury unanimously awarded more than $3.5 million to two plaintiffs, the successors of the deceased, in a wrongful death case in San Bernardino. Damages included funeral expenses, past and future costs for bodily injury for one of the plaintiffs, and past and future non-economic losses.
On July 6, 2011, the plaintiff was driving her minivan with her two children in Rice on Highway 62 in San Bernardino County.
The defendant and her husband traveled westbound but drove into on-coming traffic, resulting in a head-on collision with the van. One of the children, 16, succumbed to injuries from the accident at the scene. The plaintiffs stated that the defendant's negligence caused the accident and subsequently filed the lawsuit. The defendant insisted that gravel on the side of the road caused her to swerve into the van, causing the accident. She further claimed that the girl was not properly secured by her seatbelt. However, the jury did not accept her defense.
The plaintiffs requested damages for physical injuries, including emotional distress, disfigurement, pain and suffering, physical impairment and loss of enjoyment of life. They also claimed the loss of: moral support, love, society, companionship, affection, comfort, protection, assistance and care.
The gross jury verdict was over $3.5 Million. This included approximately $150,000 for present and future medical expenses for one of the children and the remainder for the wrongful death of the other child.
Head-on collisions cause 10 percent of the deaths in a vehicular accident although they only make up 2 percent of all accidents. When two vehicles race toward each other, the force of the collision and the related impact now doubles. So if a car and a motorcycle each travelling at 40 miles per hour crash in a head-on collision, the impact equals 80 mph.
• Failure to slow down when turning.
These accidents almost always occur when both parties are going straight or trying to navigate a turn.
About three-fourths of all fatal head-on collisions happen when no median divides the traffic traveling in opposite directions on rural roads.
The initial action can cause the accident, but sometimes, the driver overcorrects, which causes the accident instead.
right-hand side of the road unless the driver can clearly see that the way is clear of any oncoming traffic to safely pass on the left-hand side of the road.
• When the driver is less than 100 feet from a railroad crossing.
California Vehicle Code Sections 23123, 23124, 23125: Drivers cannot use electronics while driving.
California Vehicle Code 23152: Drivers cannot drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
California Vehicle Code 22350: Drivers must navigate the roadways at safe and appropriate speeds for the conditions of the road.


Sporting Country comprises a suite of photographs of places related to sport in rural Australia. Brown's small and thoughtful black and white portraits of sporting clubs, stadiums, swimming pools and monuments contrast with the colour, energy and fervour of Australian sporting life.
Central to the series is the notion of 'faded glory,' which evokes both nostalgia for a bygone era and the ongoing and passionate support of local sporting activities. The meticulously tended bowling greens and football ovals pictured in these photographs testify to the determination of small town communities to maintain humble but much-loved sporting facilities in the face of a shift in support from local clubs to national and international teams.
Photographed with film and hand-printed by the artist, these carefully constructed images speak of forgotten 'legends' and declining regional populations. There is a beauty and melancholy in this stasis that reflects Brown's long held interest in the temporal. With great attention to detail and an anthropological eye, Brown captures the layers of history and the complexities of culture within the spaces she depicts.

I have known a few guys who all they had to do was say "hello" and women were all over them. Or anything else. Didn't matter, really.
Kind of hated those guys. From pure jealousy, of course. On the other hand, it would have been physically impossible for them to…. *deal with*…. those throngs of women, so guess who picked up the slack?

Q: require for input value on custom contact form I am creating a custom contact form (so that my site will have two separate contact forms). I used the tutorial here
However my issue is I need to set some of the form inputs to require a value.
I added code that I thought would make it work (adding class="required-entry input-text validation-failed" to each of the form inputs) however my form still allows me to submit it without entering any values in my required fields. I am not sure what I need to change/add to my below code
Here is my form.phtml code

           <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('global_messages') ?>

        <form id="simple_contact_form" name="simple_contact_form" action="<?php echo $this->getUrl('inchoo-simplecontact/') ?>index/sendemail" method="post">

       <fieldset class="group-select">

                Name*

                <input name="name" id="name" title="Name" value="" class="required-entry input-text validation-failed" type="text" />

This is a required field.

                Email*

                <input name="email" id="email" title="Email" value="" class="required-entry input-text validate-email validation-failed" type="text" />

This is a required field.

                Phone*

                <input name="phone" id="phone" title="Phone" value="" class="required-entry input-text validation-failed" type="text" />

This is a required field.

                Business Name*

                <input name="company" id="company" title="Company" value="" class="required-entry input-text validation-failed" type="text" />

This is a required field.

               Question/Comments

                <textarea name="comment" id="comment" title="Comment" class="required-entry input-text" style="height:100px;" cols="50" rows="3"></textarea>

</fieldset>

* Required Fields

    <button class="button" type="submit"><?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Submit') ?></button>

 </form>

Then my IndexController.php file

    class Inchoo_SimpleContact_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
     {
      public function indexAction()
       {
       //Get current layout state
        $this->loadLayout();

       $block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(
         'Mage_Core_Block_Template',
         'inchoo.simple_contact',
         array(
             'template' => 'marketingform/simple_contact.phtml'
          )
       );

    $this->getLayout()->getBlock('content')->append($block);
    //$this->getLayout()->getBlock('right')->insert($block, 'catalog.compare.sidebar', true);

    $this->_initLayoutMessages('core/session');

    $this->renderLayout();
}

public function sendemailAction()
{
    //Fetch submited params
    $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams();

    $mail = new Zend_Mail();
    $mail->setBodyHtml("Name: " .$params['name']. "
 Email: " .$params['email']. "
 Phone: " .$params['phone']. "
 Business Name: " .$params['company']. "

 Questions/Comments:
" .$params['comment']);
    $mail->setFrom($params['email'], $params['name']);
    $mail->addTo('me@foobar.com', 'Marketing Dept');
    $mail->setSubject('A Marketing Request');
    try {
        $mail->send();
    }
    catch(Exception $ex) {
          Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Unable to send your message. Please, try again later'));

    }

    Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Your message has been sent to our marketing department.'));
    //Redirect back to index action of (this) inchoo-simplecontact controller
    $this->_redirect('marketing/');
  }
}

?>

A: Please see the original Magento contact form controller, i.e. app/code/core/Mage/Contacts/controllers/IndexController.php -> public function postAction(). For example you have to add this in your sendemailAction function below $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams(); (don't forget to surround it with try/catch block):
        $error = false;

        if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($params['name']) , 'NotEmpty')) {
            $error = true;
        }

        if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($params['email']), 'EmailAddress')) {
            $error = true;
        }

        if ($error) {
            throw new Exception();
        }

This is PHP validation. If you like JavaScript validation - you can see again Magento original contact form for reference, i.e. app/design/frontend/base/default/template/contacts/form.phtml. So you have to add this at the bottom of your form:

New York Attorney General James suspends campaign for governor
Reuters | Posted: Dec. 9, 2021, 1:21 p.m. | Updated: Dec. 9, 2021, 4:52 p.m. | 2 Min Read
By Tyler Clifford
NEW YORK (Reuters) -New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office is seeking to question former President Donald Trump under oath as part of a fraud investigation, said on Thursday she was suspending her campaign for New York governor, weeks after announcing a run.
Her decision to abandon the campaign comes after news that her office aims to depose Trump regarding allegations that his namesake business manipulated the valuations of its real estate properties, a person familiar with the matter said, confirming a report in the Washington Post. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
"I have come to the conclusion that I must continue my work as attorney general. There are a number of important investigations and cases that are underway, and I intend to finish the job," James said in a statement on Thursday.
In October, James announced her campaign to challenge Governor Kathy Hochul for the state's highest elective office in next year's election. Formerly lieutenant governor, Hochul took over from Governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned after James' office issued a scathing report accusing him of sexual abuse and harassment.
Elected to a first term in 2018, James said in a statement on Thursday that she would instead seek re-election as attorney general.
Soon after James said she was running for governor, Cuomo's lawyer Rita Galvin called on the attorney general to recuse herself from decisions in several ongoing investigations of Cuomo, saying her gubernatorial campaign created a conflict of interest.
The New York attorney general had led a rush of candidates challenging Hochul, the state's first female governor and a seasoned politician who has already secured important endorsements.
Jumaane Williams, New York City's public advocate since 2019, is also seeking the Democratic nomination. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, whose term expires at the end of the year, is also believed to be considering a run for governor.

Bulgaria's Chief State Health Inspector: We make no forecasts about Covid-19
Written by The Sofia Globe staff on September 18, 2020 in Bulgaria - Comments Off on Bulgaria's Chief State Health Inspector: We make no forecasts about Covid-19
None of the predictions about the development of the Covid-19 pandemic have come true so far, which is why for the past five to six months, health authorities in Bulgaria have made no forecasts, Chief State Health Inspector Associate Professor Angel Kunchev told a conference on September 18, Bulgarian National Television reported.
"And not only ours, but also the forecasts of the World Health Organization, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in Stockholm, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta," Kunchev said.
The virus "does what it wants," he said.
"No one can say whether we are in the first wave or in the second. Where it starts, where it ends, who passes it on to whom."
Kunchev said that the most important question now was related to what was happening in southern Europe, in France, Portugal and Spain.
The question was whether what was happening there was a consequence of the Balkan wave, which had affected Bulgaria only slightly, or whether it was a second wave that had yet to come to Bulgaria.
"If it's the second option, it's very bad. Because it will coincide with the beginning of the school year, with the start of the circulation of other respiratory viruses, then the flu viruses will begin, and up to January, when we will inevitably face a flu epidemic," Kunchev said.
After the reduction of new cases of coronavirus infection, there had been an increase and this was likely to continue, he said.
This was hardly because of the start of the new school year, because too little time had passed, but there would be an impact in the future.
"Even if we put spacesuits in schools, we will not stop the epidemiological process," he said.
"Currently, things look pretty good for Bulgaria. We have a 2.7 per cent reduction, not much, but it is indicative that after the plateau in August we managed to achieve two or three weeks with a reduction in cases," Kunchev said.

DX Voice from Mount Athos Monk Apollo, SV2ASP, SK
From the ARRL Web Page
Mount Athos' best-known radio amateur, Monk Apollo, SV2ASP, died on May 5 after complications resulting from cancer. He was 64. Monk Apollo was essentially the lone DX voice from Mount Athos, the 20th most-wanted DXCC entity, where he operated from his Orthodox Monastery of Docheiariou. Born into a large family in western Greece, he became a monk in 1973, eventually joining the ascetic monastery on Mount Athos in 1980.
When the need for reliable communication from the monastery surfaced in the 1980s, Monk Apollo followed a recommendation to become a radio amateur, which he did in 1988. He had to wait for permission from the Holy Council to operate, however, before he was able to get on the air for the first time in 1990. He celebrated his 10th anniversary on the air with the special call sign SY2A.
Members of the SZ1A club visited in 2003 and began helping him to maintain his station and antennas. Zorro Miyazawa, JH1AJT, followed with additional assistance in 2016.
"We will miss his smile, his good willingness and friendship. I will never forget the times he awoke in the middle of the night to make skeds with amateurs needing Mount Athos for a new one. I was lucky to have him as a friend," remarked Kostas Stamatis, SV1DPI, a close friend.
Chip Cohen, W1YW, commented on QRZ.com, "For many decades, Monk Apollo was the sole operator from the rare country of Mount Athos. A talented and religious man, Monk Apollo combined an engineering background with a deep religious faith. He became an international ambassador for ham radio and one of our most famous hams."
A service was planned for May 6.
Monk Iakovos, SV2RSG, who lives at Koutloumousiou Holy Monastery on Mount Athos, was licensed in 2015 and has been active on the air. He is a member of DX Plus Hellenic Radio Amateur Team.
Peter Vekinis, KH6VP, has visited Mount Athos a few times recently to help Monk Iakovos, and an article on his experiences there will appear in an upcoming issue of QST.


Yayoi Kusama is known in the art world for her obsession with dots. Artistic Director Marc Jacobs approached Kusama to design a limited edition collection for Louis Vuitton that interprets the emblematic and unforgettable works for Kusama. From the first installment of the Yayoi Kusama collaboration, the Infinity Dots Vernis Papillon features the classic Monogram Vernis in a bright yellow with an overlay of large polka dots in one of Louis Vuitton's most recognizable styles. Don't miss out on your chance to own this collectors piece! Retail price is $2760.
The exterior Vernis is clean and beautiful with no visible signs of wear. The leather trim and handles have turned a nice medium honey patina with some minor wear to the piping along the edges and to the undersides of the handles. There is a small stain on the leather tab. The hardware remains bright and clean. The interior lining is clean and overall in great condition.


Most Americans find the second part of this verse hard to understand. Since when do we have a "master" (113)? We tend to emphasize our independence and freedom. A master speaks of slavery and inferiority. Yes, it does and at all levels it gets our dander up. We resist anyone telling us what to do.
At one end you have the idea of a slave owner. Keep in mind that in many ancient Middle Eastern cultures there was only one free man in the entire country, the king. All the land belonged to him. Everyone was considered his servant. The idea of the independent warrior comes from the barbarians of Europe. It was not a question of "Are you a servant?" It was a question of "How high or how low?" We reject this thinking.
At the other end this word is used of God himself. Unfortunately this independent thinking also extends to God for most people. The offensiveness of God to us is not that He is bigger or stronger but that He thinks He has the right to tell us what to do. That is why I think that on judgement day, even standing before the throne, most people will refuse to bend and acknowledge Him as Lord.
So? Yes, Jesus is a friend of mine. Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, we are joint-heirs with Jesus. We are also servants. Get used to the idea and accept it.
I'm sure they'll bow, but it will be from fear, not respect.
And it will be craven fear not awe.
