Federer eases to Rotterdam title
Feb 18, 2018 | TennisHead
The 36-year-old, who will return to world No.1 for the first time since November 2012 on Monday, enjoyed an emphatic 6-2 6-2 win over Grigor Dimitrov in just 55 minutes.
It's the 97th time Federer has entered the winner's circle during his illustrious career – and it looks increasingly likely that a 100th triumph will be celebrated before the end of the year.
Dimitrov had been animated and motivated throughout the tournament, however he was subdued in the final. His confidence quickly eroded after a bright opening, and he remains no closer to scoring a first ever victory over the Swiss magician.
"It's definitely one of those weeks I will never forget in my life," said the three-time champion. "It's unbelievable to get my 97th title and get back to World No.1. It's very special.
"I was expecting it to be tough today. Grigor is a great player and a great athlete and he's been playing super well in recent months. I thought that this wasn't going to be the result, but he looked to be struggling a bit and I never looked back."
Federer banks 500 ranking points for his endeavours in Holland, and he is guaranteed to keep hold of the No.1 ranking for at least another four weeks.
There remains a possibility the Swiss may play Dubai later this month in an attempt to strengthen his grip on top spot, but he will certainly be involved in the action at the first Masters event of the year in Indian Wells.
Elsewhere on a busy weekend, Petra Kvitova can look forward to a return to the Top 10 on Monday after defeating Garbine Muguruza 3-6 6-3 6-4 in the final of the Qatar Open in Doha.
It's been a remarkable rise for the popular Czech in the face of adversity. Her career was thrown into jeopardy after being stabbed in her left hand by an intruder at her home in December 2016, but she has responded magnificently.
It's a 13th consecutive victory for the double Wimbledon champion and it's the 22nd time she has held aloft a WTA trophy.
"I came from the Fed Cup in Prague, so I've gone from indoor to outdoor and I'm very proud of myself," said Kvitova, with a trademark smile. "It was a really tough match and a big fight, so I hope people enjoyed the match.
"When I remember where I was one year ago, I could not really have dreamed of this (returning to Top 10). It's a very special feeling to be back but I could not be there without my team, my coaches and my family and friends."

Optional comment: {{{1}}}
This article is about water resource policy and the structure of its institutions. This has influence on the policy making processes but this article is restricted to a synchronic picuture of these structures and does not examine the dynamic diachronic process of decision making.[1]
Water resource management is the implementation of policy and is usually carried out over different, more subdivided political, spatial, and geographical domains than policy. It includes policy for "regions, catchments, shared or transboundary water resources, and inter-basin transfers,Policy is a cause of management practices, but best management practices are identified, evaluated, modified and disseminated by policy making bodies"[2]. These policy issues may be subdivided by various means, but broadly concern either the identification, annexation, procurement, maintenance, protection, preservation, expansion of water supply and protection of its quantitative degradation through evaporative loss, water main breakage, waste or constraining qualitative degradation through direct pollution. "Supply isn't just about water production, it is also about distribution infrastructure" [3] Technical issues of the world's aging water infrastructure also includes origination and dissemination of best practices to deal with metering, control systems, and pressure management.Much of policy discussion involves management of competing interests in supply and polluting uses by and between different user classes, with some commentators projecting resource wars as demand exceeds supply throughout most of the globe. [4] User classes of interest to policy making institutions and policy advocates include domestic, industrial, mining and agricultural facilities.[5]

Increasing interest in analysis of policy systems
Water resource policy issues are receiving increasing attention. [6]It is widely believed that water policy is entering a period of more or less permanent crisis,[7] at least in some regions, and the chilling spectre of worldwide crisis at some point in the future.[8]Given the complexity of international law, national sovereignty and forecasted water shortages, attention is increasingly focused on various approaches to this complex subject matter.[9] Organizations such as the Global Water Policy Project have sprung up to promote awareness and prod government and NGO's into heightened awareness of the problems.[10] Various jurisdictions at all levels from international down to small water districts regulate water resources to protect drinkability and agricultural uses from water pollution. Advanced industrial countries typically develope stringent rules which are disseminated worldwide through aid agencies and international agencies such as various departments of the United Nations. Within the developed nations, some localities have more highly developed water regulatory policy analysis, making and implementation bodies in place, due either to general social and ideological concerns or familiarity with specific, often problematic water quality problems.
=Water resource management in higher education
Oregon State University offers a degree program in Water Resources Policy and Management (WRPM) [11]
Global water resource policy objectives (overview)
Planning is viewed as a means to
to address the raw need for water quantitatively
to protect water supply quantity
to regulate conflicts about water access and quality particularly to prevent possible political or military conflict.
to protect vulnerable populations from threats such as flooding and mosquito vector activity.
navigable water policy
use of waters as dwelling space (houseboats)
conversion of water resources into energy (hydro-electric)
extraction of food from water resources (fishing, aquafarming)
extraction of minerals including petroleum
Institutional participants
Multilateral/UN
A few high points in multilateral initiatives are as follows:
The 1977 Mar del Plata United Nations Conference on Water was the first intergovernmental water conference, leading to the 1980 Declaration of the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade by the UN General Assembly.[14]
The United Nations Environmental Program is a key institution housing water resource policy making agencies and disseminating best practices worldwide. This activity occurs at global, regional and national levels. This role has been enhanced by landmark policy directives:
UN General Assembly Resolution 3436 (XXX) Agenda 21
1997 Nairobi Declaration on the Role and Mandate of UNEP and
2000 Malmö Ministerial Declaration adopted at the First Global Ministerial Environment Forum.
At Earth Summit 2002 governments established targets for 2015 to improve access to safe drinking water. [16]
In 2007 the World Bank developed a report series on Environment and Development [17]
which thereafter (2009)reported on Environmental Flows in Water Resources Policies, Plans, and Projects[18]
Treaties between nations may enumerate rights and responsibilities. For instance, a treaty between Poland and Germany, "An Agreement to establish cooperation on water resources management" provides:
supply of drinking water of good quality,
protection of surface water,
supply of water to agriculture,
fight against water pollution. [19]
The Permanent Court of International Justice adjudicates disputes between nations including water rights litigation. [20]
Non-profit NGO policy advocacy organizations
Non governmental organizations may have consultative status at the UN. One such NGO is the World Water Council, an "international multi-stakeholder platform" established in 1996 to act "at all levels, including the highest decision-making level...[in] protection, development, planning, management and use of water in all its dimensions...for the benefit of all life on earth." It was an outgrowth of the 1992 at the UN's International Conference on Environment and Development in Dublin and at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit. The Council itself is mow based in the City of Marseilles.[14] Their website explains its' multi-stakeholder basis as due to the fact that "authority for managing the world's fresh water resources is fragmented amongst the world's nations, hundreds of thousands of local governments, and countless non-governmental and private organizations, as well as a large number of international bodies." Subsequently, in 1994, the International Water Resources Association (IWRA) organized a special session on the topic in its Eighth World Water Congress held in Cairo in November 1994, leading to creation of the World Water Council. [21]
Business water resource policy initiatives
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development has engaged stakeholders in a process it refers to as in its H2OScenarios engaged in a scenario building. In June 2011 in Geneva, the Future of Water Virtual Conference, "hosted by" Dow Chemical, exchanged view on sustainable water issues. Notable presented included Peter Bell of Harvard's Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations and David Abraham, CEO of ClearWater Initiative. Other sponsorships included Scientific American and Fast Company (magazine)|Fast Company, a media firm. Issues raised included
water infrastructure monitoring,[22] global water security, potential resource wars, [23] interaction between water, energy, food and economic activity, the "true value" of "distribution portions of available water" and a putative "investment gap" in water infrastructure. [24][25] It was asserted that climate change will impact scarcity of water but the water security presentation emphasized that a combined effect with population growth "could be devastating".[26] Identified corporate water related risks include physical supply, regulatory and product reputation. [27]
This forum indicated policy concerns with
price supports
other subsidies
treatement of water as a free good creates underpricing of 98% of water [28]
need to intensify debate
need to harmonize public/private sectors[29]
Structural constraints on policy makers
Operational water management implements policy. These policies are implemented by organizational entities created by government exercise of the police power of the state. However, all such entities are subject to constraints upon their autonomy.[30] These constraints originate in the legitimacy demands of their constituents and also the conflicting constraints originating from global and regional international entities, national government and state or provincial policy instruments such as treaties, laws, regulations and contracts.[31] These factors affect ownership and control of water resources all the way down to the level of municipalities and special districts for flood control and allocation of water rights in accordance with local water law. In many localities, structural limitations on policy making and resulting implementation snarls lead to failed policies. [32]
Jurisdictional limitations
Subject matter and geographic jurisdiction are distinguishable.[33] Jurisdiction is limited by geographic political boundaries as well the limits imposed by enabling legislation. In some cases, legislation targets specific types of land uses (wilderness,agricultural,urban-residential, urban-commercial, etc.) A second level of jurisdictional limitation exists in terms of the subject matter which any given agency is authorized to control such as flood control, water supply and sanitation, etc. This creates a situation where regulatory authority is fragmented and thus policy analysis at a higher level is in demand in order to coordinate and identify gaps.
Policy consistency requirements
Consistency with national regulations
Consistency with the interests of other lawful authorized users who engage in permitted or unpermitted practices which may utilize excessive water or degrade water quality.
Overlapping jurisdictions and conflict of laws
In typically water challenged province in a developed nation, the number of water regulatory agencies at the provincial level alone is substantial, not counting county, city and special districts:
Environmental Protection Agency (State/EPA)
Jurisidictional problems
Overlapping jurisdictions may pass legislation which creates conflict of laws. For interest, recent changes in California law intended to reduce air quality problems from shipping has been interfered with by Federal legal changes intended to reduce the cost of shipping. [34]
Example of various overlapping water agencies
Coastal Commission
Coastal Conservancy
Department of Fish & Game
Environmental Resources Evaluation System (CERES)
Ocean and Coastal Environmental Access Network (OCEAN)
Resources Agency Wetlands Information System
Public Health Departments conduct water sampling for bacterial and viral contaminants
Water districts control service to residential, commercial, industrial and institutional water consumers

Saint-Gobain in South Africa first entered the competition in 2016.
In 2018, seven shortlisted architectural projects selected from the University of Johannesburg and the University of Kwazulu-Natal in Durban will compete for the chance to take part in the finals in Dubai.
"The national stage has been preceded by an intense eight weeks where students had to create a sustainable architectural design integrated into the urban space, while adhering to Saint-Gobain Multi-Comfort criteria and taking into account the climatic conditions and regional context of the local site and in Dubai. The amount of research, coupled with online training offered by Saint-Gobain on acoustics, thermal and indoor air quality, has been a steep learning exercise for the students. This investment in young professionals will reap rewards in the future with benefits for the built environment," explains Sibusiso Mthembu, Saint-Gobain Coordinator for the South Africa Stage of the contest.
The South Africa stage for the Saint-Gobain MultiComfort Students Contest will be held in Saint-Gobain offices in Johannesburg on April 20 from 9:30 AM to 12:30.
The first part of the Saint-Gobain MultiComfort Students Contest comprises of a national stage in 28 different countries and of an online entry stage for students from countries that do not have a local competition.
The international stage will be held in Dubai from 12-15 May 2018. The winning teams from various countries and the online entry winner will battle it out in the finals.
This year, participants have to design a vision for a transcultural vibrant community development located in the perimeter of the cultural village of Dubai. The design should propose a combination of residential and public spaces to maximize energy-efficiency and wellbeing. The approach has to incorporate the Saint-Gobain Multi-Comfort vision based on thermal, acoustic and visual comfort, as well as air quality and modularity.
The Southern Africa winning team will represent South Africa in Dubai.


Maurizio Sarri has relaxed his Chelsea predecessor Antonio Conte's rules on diet and nutrition as well as the stipulation that players had to stay together in a hotel the night before home games, hoping to give them greater freedom as he whittles his squad down to a more manageable size.
The new Chelsea manager has abandoned the practice of the squad staying together at the Chelsea Harbour hotel on nights before they have an evening game at Stamford Bridge the following day, a measure that was introduced by Conte and was unpopular with many of the players. They are now free to stay at home and join up with their team-mates on matchday instead.

Draft Rules Governing Overseas Investments: An Overview
17 December 2021 | by Mini Raman (Partner) and Angelina Talukdar (Senior Associate)
Tags: LexOrbis India
Overseas Investments by persons resident in India are presently governed by the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of any Foreign Security) Regulations, 2004. With a view to further liberalize the regulatory framework and to promote ease of doing business, the Government of India decided to revise the mentioned regulations.
Consequently, the Reserve Bank of India ("RBI") had issued the Draft Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments – Overseas Investment) Rules, 2021 ("Draft Rules") and Foreign Exchange Management (Overseas Investment) Regulations, 2021 ("Regulations") governing overseas investment by persons resident in India.
This article discusses the key provisions of the Draft Rules.
The key definitions that are proposed or amended are:
1. The term "Control" has been defined as the right to appoint the majority of the directors or to control the management or policy decisions exercisable by a person or persons acting individually or in concert, directly or indirectly, including by virtue of their shareholding or management rights or shareholders' agreements or voting agreements that entitle to 10% or more of voting rights or in any other manner in the foreign entity.
2. The term "Disinvestment" has been introduced and has been defined as transfer by sale of right, title or possession of equity capital and includes liquidation.
3. The term "Financial Commitment" has been amended to clarify that portfolio investments made overseas shall not be included and all overseas direct investment in equity, debt instruments and non-fund-based facilities shall be considered for calculation of the financial commitment of an entity.
4. The term "Overseas Direct Investment" (ODI) is defined as investment by way of
acquisition of equity capital of an unlisted foreign entity or
subscription to the MoA of a foreign entity, or
investment in 10% or more of the paid-up equity capital of a listed foreign entity, or
where the person resident in India, making such investment, has or acquires control, directly or indirectly, in the foreign entity.
Any sponsor contribution made, directly or indirectly, by an Indian entity to an Alternative Investment Fund or Investment vehicle set up in an overseas jurisdiction as per the laws of such host jurisdiction; or any acquisition outside India of 'participating interest or right' in the energy sector or investment outside India in agriculture shall also be treated as ODI by way of equity capital.
II. General conditions applicable to all investors: The Draft Rules propose the following key general conditions applicable to all overseas investments (1):
1. No Objection Certificate (NOC) (2): In case of a person resident in India appearing as special mention account or Non-Performing Asset (NPA) or wilful defaulter or who is under investigation by a regulatory body in India, such person shall have to obtain a NOC from the lender bank(s) or regulatory body or investigative agency concerned before making a financial commitment or undertaking disinvestment.
2. Pricing guidelines (3): The valuation of any equity capital shall be subject to conditions that in case of an issue or transfer of equity capital from a person resident outside India ("NR") to a person resident in India ("R") or from an R to another R or from an R to an NR:
(i) In case of listed foreign securities, the price worked out in accordance with the concerned stock exchanges of the host country; or
(ii) In other cases, the price should be within 5% range of the fair value arrived on an arm's length basis as per any internationally acceptable pricing methodology for valuation duly certified by a registered valuer as per the Companies Act 2013; or similar valuer registered with the regulatory authority in the host jurisdiction to the satisfaction of the bank.
3. Transfer/Liquidation (4):
(1) An R may transfer equity capital by way of sale to another R, or to an NR;
(2) In case the transfer is on account of a merger, amalgamation or demerger or account of buyback of foreign securities, such transfer, or liquidation in case of liquidation of the foreign entity, should have the approval of the competent authority as per the laws in India and/or the host country, as the case may be;
(3) Where the disinvestment by the R pertains to ODI, certain additional conditions specified in the Draft Rules shall be applicable.
4. Restructuring: An Indian entity that has made ODI in a foreign entity, may permit restructuring of the balance sheet by such foreign entity, which has been incurring losses for the previous two years as evidenced by its last audited balance sheets, subject to ensuring compliance with reporting, documentation requirements and subject to the diminution in the total value of the outstanding dues towards the Indian entity including investment in equity and debt, after such restructuring does not exceed the proportionate amount of the accumulated losses.
However, in case of such diminution where the amount of corresponding original investment is more than USD 10 million or in a case where the amount of such diminution exceeds 10% of the total value of the outstanding dues towards the Indian entity, the diminution in value shall be duly certified on an arm's length basis by a registered valuer as per the Companies Act 2013 or a similar valuer registered with the regulatory authority in the host jurisdiction (5).
5. Restrictions (6):
(1) An R is prohibited from making ODI in a foreign entity engaged in real estate activity; gambling in any form and offering financial products linked to the Indian Rupee except for products offered in an International Financial Services Centre (IFSC).
(2) The Financial Commitment by an R in a foreign entity that has invested or invests into India, at the time of making such Financial Commitment or at any time thereafter, which is designed for the purpose of tax evasion/ tax avoidance is not permitted.
Conclusion: The proposal in the Draft Rules introduces several conceptual changes and regulatory nuances which are expected to revise the regulatory regime for overseas investment. Once the Draft Rules are finalized and notified, it should help all stakeholders to structure their investments with better clarity and certainty.
(1) Chapter II of the Draft Rules.
(2) Chapter-II, Rule 4 (D) of the Draft Rules.
(3) Chapter-II, Rule 5 (A) of the Draft Rules.
(4) Chapter-II, Rule 5 (B) of the Draft Rules.
(5) Chapter-II, Rule 5 (C) of the Draft Rules.
(6) Chapter-II, Rule 6 of the Draft Rules.

Q: regex unique match only multiple lines As the title suggests I'm trying to write some Regex for a DLP requirement. In the UK all standard number formatting seems to go out the window and we have numbers that look like the below:
01111 111111
01111111111
020 2222 2222
020 22222222
0800 111 1111
0800 1111111

By the time you add the international symbol to this and you end up with either
0044 or +44 to each of these, it is getting very messy. I've wrote some regex that is giving me hits for most of these definitions that bit is fine. But the problem I'm having when using a site like regexr.com to test is that I want to be able to get unique results across the entire document being scanned.
My intention is to use this for DLP within our email platform to scan documents and email contents. I'm setting it to hold an email after x amount of matches but currently if it's on a new line then it's a match, even when I specify multiline (maybe I misunderstand how multiline works).
This is my current regex:
/(\+[0-9]{7,12}|\b[0-9]{7,12}|[0-9]{3,5} [0-9]{5,9}|\+[0-9]{3,6} [0-9]{5,9}|\+[0-9]{1,4} [0-9]{3,6} [0-9]{4,9}|\+[0-9]{1,4} [0-9]{6,13})(?!.*\1)/gm

I'm trying to use this to only give me the last occurance of each example to try and make sure these are unique matches, my requirement for this is that people have email signatures, some with telephone, fax and mobile numbers, that means per email in the chain that could be three numbers. Within a few emails we've already triggered a DLP rule and we'd be holding emails unnecessarily.
Hopefully I've made myself clear on what I'm trying to achieve and I don't feel like I'm too far off my requirement here. Can any Regex gurus point out where I'm going wrong?
Mimecast is my processing engine for this and that supports java/perl regex.
An example email I'd want to match is:
Data Leak Email
01111 111111
01111 111112
01111 111113
01111 111114
01111 111115
01111 111116
01111 111117
01111 111118
01111 111119
01111 111110

But an email I wouldn't want to flag is:
Hi,
Text
Signature 01111 111111
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111111
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111112
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111111
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111112
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111111
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111112
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111111
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111112
Hi, Text Signature 01111 111111

As the example at the top has multiple unique numbers within it that highlights a high probability of a contact database leak. The bottom one is an email conversation between two people with reoccuring numbers, so whilst yes the numbers would flag, they would only be counted once. So if I had the amount of numbers to trigger the rule to be 10, they'd be 8 short on the bottom email, but enough to trigger on the top email.
Thanks,

According to research by the US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty, persistently poor children are 2.5 times more likely than all children to move multiple times for a negative reason – that being 44 percent – as compared to 17 percent, whose families move voluntarily into a better life situation.
The recurring displacement of the poor is a trend BHITC believes God is calling the Body of Christ to act upon in two specific Cleveland neighborhoods – Clark/Fulton and Stockyards – which represent the most culturally and racially diverse communities on the west side, as well as communities where nearly 50 percent of residents live at or below the poverty line. In preparation for deep investment and relationship in this community, the organization conducted listening sessions last fall and heard countless residents tell of the vulnerable situations they and their loved ones in poverty face around housing. Predatory landlords are quite common for the approximately 70 percent of residents who are renters, with rent accounting for 58 percent of their take-home income, nearly double the recommended housing expense guidelines.
Just a glimpse into the issues perpetuating the cycle of poverty reveal deeper stories of hurt, oppression and disadvantage. As an organization committed to unleashing the power of underestimated people, BHITC believes these residents have much to offer themselves, their families, their community and the Body of Christ. As one resident said last fall, "It doesn't matter how someone labels a person or place, it can still change." That's the gospel, after all!
While underlying issues associated with poverty have been consistent in 15 years of urban ministry, so too have been the underlying assets, gifts, skills and hopes in these communities. BHITC believes sustainable community transformation begins with using the strengths already present in the community, which the organization has seen to be true in other ministries, which were once new, such as working with the immigrant and refugee community or venturing into social enterprise businesses.
"I know that God loves this community, and I continue to trust that he is working through me and others to address the very real injustices here," added Wheatley.
Another asset in the community are so many faith-based partners. Beginning late in 2015, BHITC and several area Christ-centered non-profits came together with a faith-inspired vision to restore and transform communities on the near west side with housing as the tool. This collaborative effort is a combination of Community Service Alliance, Family Ministry Center, Scranton Road Ministries C.D.C. and BHITC, all of which are familiar with the neighborhoods. This effort is referred to as the Nehemiah Collaborative. To fully address the needs of these communities, many people, churches, organizations and leaders need to be at the table, and BHITC believes its years of urban ministry, in relationship with the poor and developing know how culminate for this very purpose.
Asset-based community development (ABCD) is a model BHITC will implement as it enters into focused housing and ministry efforts in these neighborhoods. The approach of ABCD draws out strengths and successes in a community's shared history as its starting point for change. Among all the assets that exist in the community, it pays particular attention to the assets inherent in social relationships, as evident in formal and informal associations and networks.
To facilitate this greater vision, BHITC manages Good Neighbors & Co., its new property acquisition, renovation and rental business. To date, five homes have been acquired, renovated and either sold for profit or rented to tenants connected to its ministries. In time, it will also become a property management social enterprise as well as potentially offer workforce training in construction skills and trades.
The vision God has given BHITC for Clark/Fulton and Stockyards is big, so will you pray alongside the organization? With spiritual and vocational support for tenants, BHITC believes families will again be filled with hope for their lives, make progress towards achieving their dreams, such as purchasing homes, opening businesses and becoming leaders in their own communities. Then, churches planted in the community become the central point through which God moves and changes lives as new leaders and pastors live together in holistic community with one another.
Housing is truly just the beginning. The point where we move into the neighborhood as Jesus first moved into ours.

The brushed DC motor generates torque directly from DC power supplied to the motor by using internal commutation, stationary permanent magnets, and rotating electrical magnets.It works on the principle of Lorentz force , which states that any current carrying conductor placed within an external magnetic field experiences a torque or force known as Lorentz force. Advantages of a brushed DC motor include low initial cost, high reliability, and simple control of motor speed. Disadvantages are high maintenance and low life-span for high intensity uses. Maintenance involves regularly replacing the brushes and springs which carry the electric current, as well as cleaning or replacing the commutator. These components are necessary for transferring electrical power from outside the motor to the spinning wire windings of the rotor inside the motor.


Anyone close to me knows that I'm a big proponent of plastic surgery. It can help women feel more beautiful in their own skin and it does wonders for self-esteem.
I don't believe in taking things overboard and becoming a plastic surgery addict. However, done with realistic expectations and in an attempt to remain looking natural and feeling comfortable, I'm all for it. Small changes can have an impact in a woman's features and self-esteem.
Years ago, I was actually the assistant to a plastic surgeon. I saw 50 year old mothers leave surgical rooms with a stunning body that snapped them right back to their 20s. Literally – within a few hours, the changes were so dramatic that no exercise or nutrition could achieve those results.
The above shows just how dramatic the change can be… this is the famous mummy tuck. Beyond feeling better about her physical looks, this mom will be more comfortable without the excess skin and will fit more comfortably into clothes. I'm sure it helps with intimacy as well – it's easy to feel self-conscious about our imperfections.
We women are constantly bombarded by photographs of impossibly perfect women… Don't be fooled by all these beautiful celebrities – most, if not all, have done extensive surgical work on their bodies and faces. A lot of these celebrities were attractive to begin with, but it's surgery that took them from pretty to stunning.
Ivanka is a great example of a celebrity who owes her beauty to a surgeon – a pretty girl blossomed to a stunning woman with some help of rhinoplasty and a chin implant.
Many women are scared to take the plunge into plastic surgery, and I understand the hesitance. It is surgery after all. In my experience – it's worth the few days of pain and discomfort. The physical changes impact your life for the positive.
However, and this is vital, you must use a reputable, licensed plastic surgeon with good reviews. You should ask to see real before-and-after photographic examples of previous patients. Like artists, surgeons tend to have a 'style' so you will see that they follow patterns in regards to how they shape the nose, results of lifts, and breast surgeries. Only move forward if you like what you see.
There are many reasons why breast augmentation has become such a popular surgery. It goes beyond increasing in breast size – for example, having uneven breasts can be a deciding factor in wanting to get this surgery.
If you're interested in undergoing this surgery, always choose a reputable beauty clinic that understands that doing a great breast job is more complex than making breasts larger. A surgeon should take into account factors like a patient's' anatomy, personal preferences and lifestyle. Breast augmentations should provide proportional results that add to a woman's beauty – not overpowers it.
The absolutely stunning Kelly Rowland underwent a natural-looking breast augmentation. She looks amazing and the size fits her frame perfectly.
Did you ever consider or get any plastic surgery? Tell us about it below!
At this moment this is not for me. But my opinion is whatever makes you happy do it. You don't want to live your life with doubt or regret.
I am too! but there are some people that go overboard!
I haven't considered plastic surgery but who knows, maybe I'll need it in the future. I think it's okay as long as the results are natural and you won't look like a plastic doll afterwards.
Nowadays, Plastic Surgery is trends now, especially for the ladies out there. and it's okay as long as they want to change their body, as long as they want and they're happy with the results. Why not!?

Confessions of a photo organizer...I haven't changed the pictures in my digital photo frame since I got it, which was several years ago. In fact, until recently, we hadn't even turned it on in a really long time. So when we put up our Christmas tree and the digital frame happened to be plugged into the same light switch socket as the Christmas tree, it was kind of fun that these old photos came on with the tree lights.
I really loved the old pics that were on it, but 'tis the season, right?! Because I'm a big fan of organizing photos by topic and not just date, I decided to randomly (seriously random) select some of our old photos from Christmas' past (Christmas tag in my digital photo organizing system) and load them into the digital frame. These are some seriously precious family photos. I can't wait for my family to notice. Stories will be told and beautiful memories will be recalled. Ahhh, the magic of Christmas.

4:07 AM 2013 Tesla Model S, Tesla Cars No comments
2013 Tesla Model S TopClass View
Tesla wanted the Model S to be the world�s first mass-produced, highway-capable, and fully-electric car. Unfortunately, Nissan was able to beat it to the punch with the Leaf. Like the Leaf, the Model S will compete in some fashion with the crop of gas hybrids including the upcoming Chevrolet Volt and the current Toyota Prius and Honda Insight.
Unlike the Leaf, which can only go 100 miles on a full charge, and the Chevy Volt, which will do somewhere around 40 miles before the gasoline engine is started to re-juice the battery, the Model S can go 300 miles on the battery alone. With its more luxurious appointments, cargo and people room, and sporty nature, it is easy to see that the Model S is really only threatened by the Fisker Karma, a luxury hybrid costing nearly double the money.
The Model S will come with three battery options that place the car at greatly different price levels. The base battery has a range of 160 miles and will cost $57,400, the mid-level offering will be able to cruise 230 miles and cost $67,400, and finally the premium model will cost $77,400 and muster the 300-mile range that makes the Model S so tempting on paper. Pricing does not reflect a $7,500 federal tax credit currently offered by the U.S. government. The Model S can be recharged from any 120-, 240-, or 480-volt outlet, with the latter taking only 45 minutes. Tesla estimates that the Model S will cost roughly $5 to drive 230 miles.
The first 1,000 units will be a part of a �Signature Series,� coming standard with the 300-mile range battery, special badging, and other yet-unnamed options. The first 1,000 purchases will also require a $40,000 down payment with deliveries beginning in mid-2012. Tesla hopes that that money will help it get 5,000 Model S cars on the road in 2012, building up to 20,000 units annually in the not too distant future.
Part of the Model S's appeal comes from the floor-mounted battery pack and powertrain, which allows the front hood to be used as a trunk and provides more cabin and cargo space. The standard Model S does 0�60 mph in less than six seconds and will have a top speed of 120 mph, with an upcoming sport version expected to achieve 0�60 mph acceleration below five seconds.
The interior is highlighted by a huge 17-inch infotainment / navigation screen that will encompass the entire center stack of the upcoming Model S. We are certain it will attract adults like the iPhone�s screen attracts toddlers. Tesla is calling it the largest touchscreen display ever used in an automobile. Another screen measuring 12.3 inches will be fitted into the instrument cluster. Nvidia, the chipmaker working with Tesla on the touchscreens, promises high-detail graphics for the laptop-sized 17-inch monitor and ultra-high-resolution 3-D graphics for the netbook-sized 12.3-inch LCD screen.
A pair of Nvidia�s Tegra chips will be providing the processing power for the two screens and, since this is a Tesla product, Nvidia is ensuring that the Tegra processors are very energy efficient and will not put a considerable drain on the electric car�s batteries. Nvidia calls the Tegra processor the world�s first mobile superchip. It has undergone testing to make sure it can hold up to the heat and conditions that come with use inside an automobile. Nvidia boasts that it has eight computing cores and can process 1080p HD videos.

At the beginning of the 17th century, Glasgow was an anachronistic throwback to its Episcopalian past as Scotland's second most important religious centre. By the beginning of the 18th century, she was well on the way to becoming second only to London within the British Empire.
Bereft of its Bishop, Glasgow was an ok place in 1600. Its merchants and their visionary ideas of mercantile trade put the city on a trajectory to become the manufacturing hub of the entire globe.

This is the second of three posts, summarising some emerging thoughts following my commentary on one light: one world.
Ecumenism, certainly in recent decades, has been about the reconciliation of institutions. This is not uncontested. Ecumenism in Britain was largely Protestant until the breakdown of the English Covenant in 1982. By 1989 the Swanwick Agreement had formally abandoned this institutional approach. Swanwick abandoned the search for a single unified church.
However, since then for many it has been business as usual. The Anglican Methodist Covenant, for example, has always been seen as a step towards interchangeability of ministry and ultimately visible unity between the two churches.
It is difficult to justify this approach from the Bible. All the passages I read in the one light: one world sequence, dealt not with institutions but the behaviour of individuals. This should come as no surprise as there was no institutional church at the time the earliest New Testament letters.
That is not to say institutions are not a preoccupation of the Bible. We only need to read Walter Wink about the powers, to find the Bible has a lot to say about the dangers of institutional power. At best we are encouraged to be sceptical about formal structural unity. Such unity would be exclusive were it to happen.
This is not in any way to devalue the progress made in formal conversations. These conversations have cleared the way for Christians to recognise one another as real Christians and one another's institutions as real churches.
It seems the Bible questions institutional unity and encourages us to love across our artificial boundaries.

The Healing Foundation urges all schools to teach the Stolen Generations story and Australia's full history
The Healing Foundation is urging all Australian schools to include the story of the Stolen Generations in their curriculum to ensure students have a better understanding of the full history of Australia, which dates back more than 60,000 years.
As schools prepare for the 2021 year, they are encouraged to incorporate The Healing Foundation's Stolen Generations Resource Kit for Teachers and Students into their curriculums. The kit provides schools with a free resource that communicates the full history of Australia and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in a safe and age-appropriate way.
The Healing Foundation CEO Fiona Petersen said Australia's history dates back more than 60,000 years and is rich with stories of the oldest continuous culture on Earth.
"The story of the Stolen Generations provides context and meaning for the struggles and inequities that First Nations peoples have faced since colonisation," Ms Petersen said.
"The traumatic impact of historical child removals continues to affect Stolen Generations survivors and their families today, but until now very little has been taught in schools.
"The grief and trauma that resulted from historical child removals is deep, complex and ongoing, and it is compounded when unacknowledged or dismissed for a sanitised version of history.
"Sharing the ongoing impacts that colonisation has had on Stolen Generations survivors and their families, and honouring their lived experience, is an important part of healing for survivors.
"It's also an important part of healing for Australia more broadly as a mature nation that can engage in meaningful conversations about our shared past.
"These conversations will enable us to walk together to a better future. This includes sharing this history with our children so they can have a full understanding of our real history and its present-day impacts."
The Healing Foundation's Stolen Generations Resource Kit for Teachers and Students was created with Stolen Generations survivors, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous teachers, parents, early childhood specialists and curriculum writers. It makes it easy for school communities to start the conversation using facts, real examples and stories.
Since the launch of the kit in March 2019, more than 13,000 lesson plans for Foundation to Year 9 have been downloaded from The Healing Foundation website.
Lesson plans focus on the stories, music, poetry, dance, art and writing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who are survivors or descendants of the Stolen Generations.
The emphasis in each year level has been to show that, while the impacts of colonisation are still being felt, they are also being overcome, and that First Nations peoples and cultures are strong and enduring.
The nation's young people can also become informed on what every Australian's role could be in intergenerational healing.
Recommended lesson plans include:
Foundation Year – students experience the art and music that shows the healing journeys of Stolen Generations survivors and descendants. Students understand that policies made before they were born still affect people today and that those people are still living and healing.
Year 1 – students learn more about the oral storytelling tradition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and listen to a story from a Stolen Generations survivor. They engage with the story through a sequenced retell.
Year 2 – students listen to a story of a Stolen Generations survivor and respond to the storyteller with a personal letter. They work in groups to consider the important symbolism of artwork created in response to the stories of Stolen Generations survivors.
Year 3 – students undertake their own guided research to learn more about the Stolen Generations through a variety of primary and secondary sources. They analyse a song and create an interpretive movement piece in response to the song.
Year 4 – students complete a timeline of significant dates in Australian and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history. They understand how recent some of the policies and events were and gain context by comparing their own personal timeline for themselves and their family.
Year 5 – students learn more about the importance of country/place to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and consider the ongoing effects of being removed from country/place. They study contemporary poetry and work in groups to gain more knowledge.
Year 6 – students study the ongoing impacts on Stolen Generations survivors by learning about intergenerational trauma. They look closely at firsthand case studies and analyse statistics, using this information to create posters and presentations.
Year 7 – students respond to interviews with Stolen Generations survivors and engage with their stories by writing a diary entry. They create an advertisement for a video by The Healing Foundation and consolidate their learning by writing a persuasive letter to the Minister for Education calling for compulsory education on the Stolen Generations in all schools.
Year 8 – students learn more about National Sorry Day and National Reconciliation Week.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Snaps Sentimental Shot of the New "Robin Williams Tunnel"

Sarah Michelle Gellar took to Instagram Wednesday with a sentimental shot of the newly dedicated "Robin Williams Tunnel" in the San Francisco Bay Area. The rainbow-arched tunnel, which connects the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County, Calif., was previously unofficially dubbed "Waldo Tunnel." As of Monday, however, the tunnel's moniker now pays tribute to the late Robin Williams, who grew up in the Bay Area.
Williams, who played Gellar's TV dad and co-star on CBS TV sitcom The Crazy Ones, died suddenly in August, 2014, at age 63. Since then, many have mourned the loss of the iconic comedian and actor, whose incredible acting ability and versatility in front of the camera allowed him to take on many different and complex roles.

To honor Williams's iconic career, the local Marin County community, where the actor lived prior to his death, rallied together—with the help of a local woman who started a Change.org petition—to have the tunnel renamed. Now because of their efforts, a more permanent memorial stands for the funny frontman who made us laugh, cry, and quote Mrs. Doubtfire on the regular.

Zlatko Baloković (March 31, 1895 – March 29, 1965) was a Croatian violinist.

Early years
He was born in Zagreb, Croatia (at the time part of Austria-Hungary), and began violin lessons at age ten. He made such progress that, after three years, he was sent to Prague to continue his studies at the "Meisterschule" under the guidance of Otakar Ševčík. In 1913, already excellent and renowned, the invitation came to him to play with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. That year he won the annual Austrian "Staatspreis" and soon made artistic tours to Berlin, Vienna, and Genova. He stayed in Trieste  during  World War I. After living in Britain from 1920 to 1923, he accepted an offer for an American tour, so on January 1, 1924, he left for New York City. In the same year, he settled permanently in the United States. In 1926, he married Joyce Borden, heiress to the Borden family fortune. In the 1920s and 1930s, the couple toured the European continent, performing predominantly for the continent's royalty.

Political activism
Upon the outbreak of World War II, he settled at Hillside Farm in Camden, Maine, where he became involved in many wartime political efforts and chaired six organizations: the Yugoslav Division of the U.S. Treasury War Bond Drives; the Russian War Relief's Nationalities Division, the United Committee of South Slavic Americans; the American Slav Congress of Greater New York; the American Croatian Congress, and the American Committee for Yugoslav Relief (with Eleanor Roosevelt as the president). He advocated Tito's Yugoslav cause. In November 1944, aided by Adlai Stevenson (his nephew by marriage), he went to Washington, D.C. to demand the shipment of medical supplies to the resistance forces. After seeing President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Vice President Henry A. Wallace, United States Secretary of State Edward Stettinius, Jr., Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy and Admiral Land, the deal was done and the requested supplies soon reached their destination.

In 1946 the couple returned to Yugoslavia as officials of the American Committee for Yugoslav Relief and were showered with that nation's gratitude. He gave 36 concerts and hundreds of speeches, while travelling the entire country in a private railroad car. He personally came to know many high-ranking figures in the Yugoslav government, including Marshal Josip Broz Tito, Georgi Dimitrov of Bulgaria, and Enver Hoxha of Albania.

Upon his return to the U.S. in 1947, he made a coast-to-coast tour to advocate for the people he had met. As a result of the ties to Yugoslav government and membership in wartime organizations, he had come to be considered "subversive". The couple was labelled as "fellow travellers" by the House Committee on Un-American Activities in 1949 but after an ordeal both were cleared. In 1954, he made a second "jubilee" tour. Tito presented him with the Grand Cross of the Yugoslav Flag in recognition of his artistic and humanitarian achievements benefiting nations.

He died in Venice on his way to Zagreb to celebration of his 70th birthday.

Baloković's 1735 "The King" Guarneri violin is kept at the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Zagreb.
