Budapest buildings along the Danube
by	iLoveBudapest	/ Thursday, 14 March 2019	/ Published in Budapest Attractions, Danube River Budapest
As the capital city of Hungary, Budapest lying at the heart of Europe has a population of about 2 million people. It boasts of its former Roman name, Aquincum, which means 'the city of waters'. The city was officially created in 1873 by the merging of the other neighboring cities of Buda, Pest and Óbuda. That is why Budapest is called the "Twin city". It, actually, offers plenty of sights, events, programs for its visitors all year round. Many world-famous sights, historical buildings of Budapest are located by the Danube River; some of them are also listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The best opportunity to discover all these famous buildings along the Danube is to take part in a Danube River Cruise.
Just to outline a few in alphabetical order
BUDA CASTLE HILL: The Castle Hill area has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The foundations of this castle were laid in the 13th century. Its 203 rooms now house several museums, e.g. the Széchenyi Library or the National Gallery.
CHAIN BRIDGE: It was the first permanent stone-bridge connecting Buda and Pest; its construction was proposed by Count István Széchenyi, a leading figure in the 18th century. The iron chains, on which the road-bed hangs, are held by two 48-meter river piers in classicist style. The Red Bull Air Race, a dazzling air competition, is held over the River Danube when competitors also fly under the Chain Bridge.
FISHERMAN'S BASTION: It is made up of seven towers, each one symbolizing one of the seven Hungarian tribes that came to Hungary in 896. It is well-known for the wonderful panoramic views it provides of the city.
GELLÉRT HILL & SPA: Gellért Hill is a 235 m high hill overlooking the city of Budapest. On the top sits the Citadel built by the Austrian Habsburgs in the 19th century. It also played a military role in the Budapest history in the Second World War. The marvelous Gellért Hotel by its feet welcomes its guests with pampering wellness facilities.
GRESHAM PALACE: It is one of the most beautiful buildings along the Danube in Budapest. It is an example of Art Nouveau architecture. It functions as the Four Seasons Hotel Budapest Gresham Palace, a luxury hotel managed by Four Seasons Hotels.
HUNGARIAN PARLIAMENT: The 19th century Parliament Building is situated at Pest's riverbank. The emblematic building was designed in neo-gothic style by Imre Steindl.
MARGARET ISLAND: The 500-meter wide island can be found in the middle of the Danube. It is a popular recreational park for local citizens with a long jogging track and many spa facilities offered by the Danubius Grand Hotel.
MATTHIAS CHURCH: The Gothic Style church also named as the Church of Our Lady was constructed between the 13th and 15th centuries. King Matthias, one of the most famous kings of Hungary got married here twice.
RIVER DANUBE: It is Europe's second largest river running through ten countries flowing from the Black Forest of Germany to the Black See in Romania. As a matter of fact, the river divides the metropolis into two parts: the hilly Buda on the West and the flat Pest on the East. It has inspired many artists, poets, musicians who mentioned its name or painted its picturesque surroundings.
RUDAS BATH: It was built during the Turkish era. It is well-equipped with steam chambers, Finnish saunas, and diverse pools. A unique experience could be bathing in the panorama pool in the rooftop.
THE WHALE: This is the city's state-of-the-art shopping, cultural and entertainment center that opened its door to the public in 2013. It got its peculiar name from its interesting 'whale' shape. There are also two marvelous historic warehouses erected in the 19th century.
UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMICS: Whilethe University of Economics,one of the most fascinating Neo-Renaissance historical buildings of Budapest can be seen on the Pest side near the Liberty Bridge, the other university lies in Buda with over 21,000 students from over 50 countries.

The phrase "Texas tax breaks" may sound silly to residents of the state. After all, Texas doesn't have a state income tax, so how can Texas residents get tax breaks? However, keep in mind that Texas residents also pay sales tax, and there are three big tax breaks related to Texas' sales tax. Texas' sales tax rate is currently 6.25%, and local jurisdictions can impose an additional tax of up to 2%, so these tax breaks can result in significant savings.
Texas is one of 17 states that offer a tax-free weekend designed to save residents money on their back-to-school shopping. Specifically, Texas' tax holiday in 2017 will run from Aug. 4 to Aug. 6, and the items exempt from sales tax include clothing, backpacks, and school supplies, all of which are subject to cost limitations.
For clothing and footwear, the tax holiday applies to items that are sold for less than $100, with no limit to the number of items each customer can purchase. For example, if you were to buy 10 pairs of shoes, each of which cost $80, then you would get a tax exemption on the entire $800 purchase. Athletic clothing and footwear that is typically not suitable for everyday wear, such as golf cleats,is excluded.
Unlike many other tax breaks, you don't need to save each and every receipt for all your purchases throughout the year to be able to deduct your Texas sales taxes. The IRS provides a calculator that you can use to determine your deduction based on your income level, number of exemptions, and specific location. If you paid sales tax on large items, like a boat for instance, you can add those to the estimate.
Of course, if you did save all your receipts and paid more sales tax than the calculator says, then you're free to use the higher amount.
Just as an example, I entered an income range of $90,000-$100,000 into the calculator with two exemptions and a San Antonio zip code and was given a deduction amount of $1,283. So it's fair to say that this can be a pretty substantial deduction, especially if you paid sales tax on a few large items throughout the year. Keep in mind that you need to itemize deductions on your Federal tax return in order to take advantage.
The amount you could save from the two tax holidays depends on how much you spend on qualifying products. While I'm not saying you should buy things you don't need just to take advantage of these tax breaks, it is a good idea to plan your shopping accordingly. For example, if you've been thinking of buying a new refrigerator, waiting until the Energy Star tax holiday to do it could save you as much as $165. And we've seen how much the sales tax deduction could save you when you file your return.
The bottom line is that even though Texas doesn't have an income tax, there are still ways for Texas residents to keep more of their hard-earned money in their own pocket.

Hotel Molokai Fire Causes $650,000 in Damages, Leaves 35 Unemployed
An early morning fire at Hotel Molokai on Tuesday gutted the kitchen, laundry and storage rooms, causing an estimated $650,000 in damages. Now, the Hula Shores restaurant and bar are closed indefinitely, and 35 employees are out of work.

Firefighters responded to the fire just before 3:30 a.m., and found about 75 percent of the bottom floor of the two-story structure engulfed in flames, according to Maui Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga. A Maui fire inspector said the fire's cause is undetermined but concluded it was accidental. The inspector said it started in the storage room behind the kitchen, which was padlocked when the blaze broke out.
Guest 'Heroes'
The hotel's 50 guests staying there at the time were evacuated but returned to their rooms that evening, according to hotel manager Michael Drew. It was a guest that first noticed the fire and took action. Another longer-term guest who had gotten to know the staff called Drew at his home nearby. When Drew arrived, he said he went door to door gathering guests outside, though no occupied rooms were affected by the fire. The unoccupied honeymoon suite, above the storage area, was the only room damaged.
Drew called many guests "heroes" for dialing 911 and helping to douse the flames. He said some of them happened to be volunteer firefighters and policemen from visiting from the mainland.
"They all pitched in with hoses and helped to try to contain the fire," said Drew. "They were heroes."
Because of the fire, Maui Electric Company shot off electricity to the facility, which resulted in loss of electricity to Kaunakakai for the majority of the day Tuesday, said Drew. Water was also shut off at the hotel after the fire was suppressed due to the water gushing out in the kitchen. Both water and electricity were restored around 6 p.m. that day.
Plans to Rebuild

The structure, which is more than 40 years old, is still standing, but its contents are left in charred ruins. George Joosten of Beachtree Properties, which manages Hotel Molokai, said they plan to eventually rebuild.
"The good news is this is a sustainable place and part of the island – we'll be back," he said.
But it could be a while. Joosten said the company is still waiting on insurance inspections and other paperwork before they can even begin the cleanup process.
In the meantime, the bar also remains closed and entertainment programs have been canceled until further notice. The hotel's current liqueur license requires a certified kitchen on property, according to Joosten. Drew said they hope to change their liqueur license to allow the bar to reopen as soon as possible, but that process has not started yet.
Until the bar can reopen, the fire has left 35 employees without work.
"Hula Shores is more about those 35 people than it is about the restaurant and bar," said Joosten. "We can only imagine the devastation on them."
Joosten said Hotel Molokai has had no major fires in the past. The rooms were renovated in 2008, but since Beachtree began operating the hotel in 2004, he said the kitchen has only had replacement of individual appliances without a full renovation.
"The good news is we have insurance and it should cover recovery," he said, calling the fire "an opportunity" to improve facilities in the future.
Joosten said the hotel continues to operate. He said Beachtree has notified guests with reservations of the situation, adding most have indicated they still plan to visit.
Joosten and Drew said they have received a lot of support from the community. Jerry Johnson of Paddlers Inn offered a freezer for food storage, Coffees of Hawaii donated coffee for the hotel's lobby, Molokai Chamber of Commerce offered assistance, along with other local businesses, organizations and individuals.
"A lot of locals have come by to help us," said Drew.

South Korea will spend 16.9 trillion won ($13.5 billion) in the coming years enhancing the water quality and supply system of its four major rivers, the government said Monday.
The masterplan for the "Four-river Restoration Project" to be completed by 2012 calls for large-scale dredging operations of river bottoms, construction of small dams, catch basins and reservoirs that can store up to 1.3 billion cubic meters of fresh water and greatly raise water quality, Yonhap News Agency reported, quoting the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs.
The Han, Nakdong, Geum and Yeongsan rivers development project aims to prevent floods, cope with water shortages and create jobs through construction work and better use of resources.
The ministry said the country spends an average of 8 trillion won every year dealing with floods, while estimates claim that the country will suffer a water shortage of 1 billion cubic meters by 2016 due to climate change. Water shortages can also lead to sharp deterioration of water quality that can have serious repercussion on the four rivers that flow through the country's major cities, industrial centers and key farmlands.
The plan is a finalized version of the "green new deal" policy initiative outlined by the government's regional development committee in December 2008 and part of the eco-friendly economic growth program pursued by the Lee Myung-bak administration.
Under the plan, 16 new catch basins that can hold an additional 800 million cubic meters of water will be built with close to 100 reservoirs being refurbished to provide 250 million cubic meters of water for farmlands.
The project will call for two medium sized dams to be built with two existing dams to be connected to better regulate water on the Nakdong River. The river flows through the country's southeastern region and frequently suffers from spring droughts.
Up to 573 km of river banks will be strengthened, with flood gates to be built on the estuary of the Nakdong and Yeongsan rivers to help prevent floods.
The water quality of the four rivers will be raised to relatively clean "Grade II" levels that have a biological oxygen demand of less than 3 parts per million (ppm). Such water is capable of sustaining most aquatic life and can be used for recreational purposes.
As of 2008, roughly 76 percent of the four rivers have Grade II levels, a figure that will be raised to 83-86 percent by 2012.
State funds will also be used to create "model villages" to attract tourists that will opt for eco-friendly methods to grow farm products for the 3.9 million people who live near the four rivers.


Why Google Adwords (SEA) ?
Google Adwords is a very powerful marketing tool that contains a large amount of opportunities for your business when used optimally.
This tool contains a lot of relevant information like all keywords used when searching Google to find a business in your field. This gives you valuable information about the right texts to be found on your website so that you have the best (keywords possible bridges) in relation to what people are searching for in Google and the content of your website.
At the same time, you will find that each keyword becomes a mini marketing plan in itself. That's why a major analysis must be done for each keyword related to your area of business and thus give it its relative importance in relation to all the keywords to choose for your Adwords campaign.
Raise the bid for the keyword "beautician" only for this sector of the city to be more competitive against the competition of Aesthetics inc.
Vary the types of ads: text, corporate videos, graphic banners.
Choose Google's partner websites where you want non-text ads to appear.
Target people already interested in aesthetics.
Show ads only to females aged 25 to 35 years old.
Submit ads for the beautician keyword from 4 pm to 8 pm, Thursday through Sunday.
Offer ads only to Francophones.
Suggest ads only to users of a mobile device.
Choosing the right landing page on Aesthetics Inc.'s website to ensure the relevance of the content that the user will find when arriving on the site – after clicking in the announcement of Aesthetics inc. in Google or elsewhere on the web. This will prevent a high bounce rate.
Here is a small overview of what can be configured in Google Adwords.
Now imagine how we can help you maximize the presence of your business online with Google Adwords.
A major strength of Google is the fact that the company has more than two million websites that are its partners, which allows Google advertisers to display the ads on their respective sites. These partner websites reach more than 90% of Internet users; this gives you the opportunity to reach your target audience when people browse their favorite websites, for example, or use a mobile app they like or a video in YouTube. You can even prevent your ads from appearing on websites that interest you less.
And what's even more interesting is that we can measure everything that happens with your Adwords campaign on a daily basis. For example, if Aesthetics inc. has an online store, we could make ads that aim to attract buyers to the online store of Aesthetics Inc. and at the same time measure with Google Analytics all the buying activity of the day on the shop according to the Adwords campaign that Publissoft has configured. All with the objective of adjusting your advertising campaigns constantly according to your business objectives which may also vary over time.
There is still a set of parameters to consider when we perform the overall analysis for optimizing your Google Adwords campaigns.
Make sure that at Publissoft , we take the time with each of our clients to understand your business objectives locally or internationally, in a transparent, honest and above all efficient way. .

Strategy 1: Just Play the Game and Get Tokens for Each Victory
After you make it clear what is Axie Infinity, you need to download the game on your iPhone or some other mobile phone. The system supports both iOS and Android, but you may need an update of the system to start playing the game.
Register, create your account and buy three Axies. It's the minimum to enter the game. There are three main ways how to earn money in Axie Infinity. They are passing quests, PvE, and PvP modes.
Users are offered to pass through a quest that consists of 10 games. In case you pass them successfully, you will get as much as 50 $SLP and $10.
In this mode, you can earn a token for your victory in the fight with monsters. Battles become complicated at each next level. The maximum amount you can earn per day is $20.
It's the gameplay that allows you to fight with other users and earn crypto. The amount you can earn in the match depends on the rating. The higher your status, the larger your reward. You can earn up to $6 for the victory.

I first met Elizabeth Witmer about a year after my son was killed in a 1994 workplace explosion. But our paths crossed somewhat earlier than that following the trial of the employer responsible for Sean's death.
I tell this story not because it is the most important of all the positive differences Elizabeth Witmer has made but because it was my first glimpse into the kind of person and politician she is and was: decisive, principled, compassionate, caring and always determined to do the right thing.
Elizabeth had been appointed as Ontario's Minister of Labour, assuming the position some months after Sean passed away. Meanwhile, the Ministry's lawyers had decided to plea bargain the charges filed under OHS regulations from seven down to two and to levy fines totaling $75,000. Our family wasn't happy about the plea bargain and the amount of the fines could in no way fit the loss of life. Still, the defendants had already agreed to these terms before we found out about it so reluctantly we accepted that we were powerless to do anything about it.
We decided to see it through; to attend the sentencing hearing presided over by a Justice of the Peace. What followed next was simply mind-boggling. The JP, saying he thought the fines were too high, rejected the plea bargain and cut the amount in half. Outraged, I walked out of the courtroom, called the MOL's Assistant Deputy and asked her to pass on my feelings to the Minister, whom I had not yet met. Less than a half hour later, the Minister announced her intent to file an appeal.
Since that time, our paths have intersected many more times. In the era of drastic Mike Harris cutbacks she prevailed in preserving the number of labour inspectors in the field. She was invaluable in her support of my founding of the Safe Communities Foundation in Canada. And last year she resigned her seat as a Conservative MPP and was appointed Chair of the Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board. There, I am certain she continues to insure the WSIB does not leave behind its moral duty to support prevention principles in the aftermath of its formal prevention mandate being yanked and shifted to the Ministry of Labour.
At a time when many Canadians are distressed about the integrity of some of its political leadership, it lifts my spirits to be able to point to someone who is such a wonderful example of an Up-Stander – a person whose service to her province and country demonstrates the very best of public integrity and purpose.

Last Friday the crypto markets experienced an incredibly positive trading session that led Bitcoin, and many other cryptocurrencies, to surge 10% or more. This market move was led by Litecoin (LTC), which surged over 30% to erase several weeks of losses. Although Litecoin was the best performing crypto last week, it has led today's market drop, and if it is unable to garner a significant amount of buying pressure in the near-term, it could lead the entire crypto markets to drop as the week goes on.
Litecoin Drops 8%, Still Up Significantly from Weekly Lows At the time of writing, Litecoin (LTC) is trading down nearly 8% at its current price of $42.90. Last Friday, Litecoin skyrocketed from lows of $33 to highs of over $45, a major price move that led the entire crypto markets to follow suit and climb as well. Today's drop, however, brings up an obvious question regarding whether or not LTC's current drop will cause the entire crypto markets to begin dropping as well.
Chonis Trading, a popular cryptocurrency trader on Twitter, spoke about this possibility in a recent tweet, noting that LTC's latest pullback could give insight into where the entire crypto markets are heading next. Entire Crypto Markets Drop, Ethereum Climbs Slightly Although it is currently unclear as to whether the notion of Litecoin leading the crypto markets has any merit, most cryptocurrencies have dropped slightly today, with Ethereum being an exception. Gat, a popular cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter, explained in a recent tweet that the ETH/BTC trading pair currently has some significant similarities to that of LTC/BTC's prior to last week's surge, which could mean that Ethereum is gearing up for a move up to the $200 region.

US consumer prices rise slightly; underlying inflation muted
FILE PHOTO: People shop at Macy's Department store in New York City, U.S., March 11, 2019. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid
WASHINGTON: U.S. consumer prices rose slightly less than expected in December and monthly underlying inflation pressures retreated, which could allow the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged at least through this year.
The Labor Department said on Tuesday its consumer price index increased 0.2 per cent last month after climbing 0.3 per cent in November. The monthly increase in the CPI has been slowing since jumping 0.4 per cent in October.
In the 12 months through December, the CPI rose 2.3 per cent. That was the largest increase since October 2018 and followed a 2.1 per cent gain in the 12 months through November.
The CPI jumped 2.3 per cent in 2019, the largest rise since 2011, after increasing 1.9 per cent in 2018.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the CPI would rise 0.3 per cent in December and advance 2.3 per cent on a year-on-year basis.
Excluding the volatile food and energy components, the CPI edged up 0.1 per cent after climbing 0.2 per cent in November. The so-called core CPI was up by an unrounded 0.1133 per cent last month compared to 0.2298 per cent in November.
Underlying inflation in December was held back by declines in the costs of used cars and trucks, airline tickets and household furnishing and operation, which offset increases in the prices of healthcare, apparel, new motor vehicles, recreation, and motor vehicle insurance.
In the 12 months through December, the core CPI increased 2.3 per cent, the largest gain since October 2018, after rising 2.3 per cent in November. For all of 2019, the core CPI accelerated 2.3 per cent after increasing 2.2 per cent in 2018.
US stock index futures were trading mixed while prices of US Treasuries were higher. The dollar was up against a basket of currencies.
HEALTHCARE COSTS RISE
The Fed tracks the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index for its 2.0 per cent inflation target. The core PCE price index rose 1.6 per cent on a year-on-year basis in November. It undershot its target in the first 11 months of 2019. PCE price data for December will be published later this month.
The US central bank last month left interest rates steady and signaled monetary policy could remain on hold this year after it reduced borrowing costs three times in 2019.
Minutes of the Fed's Dec 10-11 meeting published early this month showed policymakers generally expected inflation would eventually hit the central bank's target as the economy continued to expand and resource utilization remained high.
There were, however, concerns among some officials "that global or technology-related factors were exerting downward pressure on inflation that could be difficult to overcome."
Moderate inflation was underscored by last week's employment report, which showed the increase in annual wage growth retreating below 3.0 per cent in December, despite the unemployment rate holding at near a 50-year low of 3.5 per cent and a broader measure of labour market slack dropping to a record 6.7 per cent.
In December, gasoline prices advanced 2.8 per cent after rising 1.1 per cent in November. Food prices gained 0.2 per cent after edging up 0.1 per cent in November. Food consumed at home ticked up 0.1 per cent.
Owners' equivalent rent of primary residence, which is what a homeowner would pay to rent or receive from renting a home, increased 0.2 per cent for a third straight month.
Healthcare costs jumped 0.6 per cent in December after rising 0.3 per cent in the prior month. Prices for prescription medication accelerated 2.1 per cent and consumers paid more for hospital services and doctor visits.
Apparel prices increased 0.4 per cent after nudging up 0.1 per cent in November. New vehicle prices rebounded 0.1 per cent after declining for five straight months. Prices for used motor vehicles and trucks dropped 0.8 per cent last month after increasing 0.6 per cent in November.
The cost of household furnishings and operations dropped 0.4 per cent in December, the largest decrease since December 2014. Airline fares fell 1.6 per cent, declining for a third straight month.

Priebus: Citizens of certain countries will be barred
By PATRICK TEMPLE-WEST
Updated 11/20/2016 11:08 AM EST
Citizens of countries suspected of harboring or training terrorists will be temporarily barred from immigrating to the U.S., Reince Priebus, the incoming White House chief of staff, said Sunday.
Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union," Priebus responded to questions about retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn's suggestions that fearing Muslims is rational. Flynn is President-elect Donald Trump's choice to be his national security adviser.
"There are some people within that particular religion that we do fear," Priebus said of Islam. "We don't believe in religious tests and ... are not blanketly judging an entire religion, but, in fact, we will try to pinpoint the problems and temporarily suspend those areas from coming into the United States until a better vetting system is in place."
For countries where trouble might be festering, he said: "We're going to temporarily suspend immigration from that country, or region, until a better vetting system is put in place."
Priebus also supported Trump's statements about halting federal funding to "sanctuary cities." New York City and Los Angeles are among dozens of such cities, where police departments don't actively enforce some federal immigration policies, a practice that has been in place for decades.
"This is a matter of negotiation," Priebus said.
Asked specifically about the city of Los Angeles, which received about $500 million from Washington last year, Priebus said: "I can't imagine that too many Americans are watching this and thinking that it's a good idea for a city to allow for blanket amnesty, ignoring federal law — and then saying now give me $500 million."
Iran deal foe Schumer not ready to scrap it
By ELANA SCHOR, BURGESS EVERETT and JOHN BRESNAHAN
"No, that's not the way life works, and I think that the Trump administration is going to explore this issue and, I think, resolve some of these major problems happening all across the country."
Separately, speaking on ABC with Martha Raddatz, Priebus gave no indication that Trump's administration would investigate Hillary Clinton after Trump and some of his supporters said during the campaign that they would.
Trump will do everything he can to follow through on his campaign promises "but also protect our country here and abroad," Priebus said.

Giridih women rejoice as one among them is 'crorepati'
By Shahnawaz Akhtar, IANS
GIRIDIH - While the entire Giridih district is celebrating Rahat Taslim's victory in "Kaun Banega Crorepati" (KBC), it is women who seem to be the happiest.
Be they housewives or high-ranking officials, women here are ecstatic that one among them has achieved the memorable feat.
"We are all very happy for her and extremely proud on her achievement," Giridih Deputy Commissioner Vandana Dalal told IANS. "Her success will be an inspiration and motivation to youngsters, especially girls, who often face discrimination in matters of education."
Dadel said she would meet Rahat when the 37-year-old homemaker and mother of two returns from Mumbai. She said she will recommend appointing her as a teacher in a government school.
Poonam Prakash, president of the Giridih Municipality, was equally ecstatic: "She has made us proud. From now on, people will know that women from Giridih can do anything. We will felicitate her."
Rahat became the first ever woman to win Rs.1 crore (Rs.10 million) in the KBC quiz programme. The fact that she comes from a humble family has made her an icon in this economically backward district.
Rahat, who could not study medicine because her family lacked the financial resources, has declared that she wants to be a teacher and teach values to kids — a sentiment that has gone down well with locals.
Rahat has a 10-year-old son and a daughter three years younger. Her husband works for a state-owned company, earning about Rs.6,000 a month.
Giridih's women feel that Rahat's achievement will change the way society treats its women.
"I have known her since she got married two decades ago. There was always a spark in her and she always remained very confident about what she wanted to do," Rahat's friend Nuzhat Perween told IANS.
Rahat's accomplishments are significant when one considers that almost 50 percent of the district's population are women, numbering over 900,000, but just 27 percent of them are literate. Most of them live under the 'purdah' system.
Rahat completed her graduation after marriage, and she used to sew clothes to supplement her family's meagre income.
Rahat impressed the show host Amitabh Bachchan, who was all praise for her.
"Well done Rahat, you have become part of an important historic moment not just for the game of KBC but for the women of the country," Amitabh wrote in his blog.

O Conselho de Propagação Islâmica da  é uma organização islâmica sunita na Indonésia que visa a dawah (proselitismo). A organização é considerada uma das organizações dawah mais proeminentes na Indonésia moderna. Também é conhecido por ser o principal receptor (junto com o LIPIA ) de financiamento para atividades islâmicas na Indonésia da Arábia Saudita.

História
O DDII foi fundado em 1967 por Mohammad Natsir, uma figura importante no movimento de independência da Indonésia, o ex-líder do Partido Masjumi e um líder do renascimento islâmico na Indonésia e interação com o Oriente Médio. Após o fim da festa Masyumi, Natsir e outros ex-membros da festa se encontraram para criar o DDII. De acordo com Hasan Noorhaidi "desde o seu início", o DDII foi o "representante indonésio" da Liga Muçulmana Mundial financiada pelos sauditas. O grupo buscou a proximidade com a Arábia Saudita como proteção contra a marginalização da política islâmica pelo governo Suharto pró-desenvolvimento e pró-modernização.

De acordo com o DDII, é a principal instituição da Indonésia para a distribuição de bolsas de estudo da Liga Mundial Muçulmana, financiada pelos sauditas, para estudar no Oriente Médio. DDII também trabalha para encorajar a tradução de obras de acadêmicos salafistas para o indonésio. Os quadros DDII incluem Ahmad Faiz Asifuddin, Aunur Rafiq Ghufran e Chamsaha Sofwan (conhecido agora como Abu Nida). De acordo com seu site, ele construiu e administra mais de 750 mesquitas, tem programas de treinamento de nível universitário para du'āt (pregadores), professores e trabalhadores de desenvolvimento rural (conhecido como Instituto Mohammad Natsir para Dakwah em Tambun, Bekasi ), cujos graduados são colocados particularmente nas regiões remotas e isoladas.

DDII se concentra em apelar para a classe média baixa e os pobres urbanos promovendo a lei sharia e a observância do ritual islâmico como uma solução para os males da sociedade, e de acordo com um crítico que ataca "corrupção governamental, misticismo javanês, liberalismo muçulmano e o domínio econômico dos chineses" como sintomas de uma conspiração maior para cristianizar a Indonésia. Em 2014, DDII foi caracterizado por "fortes pontos de vista anti- xiita, anti- cristão e anti- Ahmadiyah "  e uma posição "biblicamente rígida" no credo islâmico.

Being a responsible business is a critical component of how we work at Ashtead. Our operational mantra of delivering availability, reliability and ease is backed up by taking responsibility in everything we do. Prioritising responsibility day-to-day delivers the trust that makes our business function - trust that the equipment we provide will arrive on time, trust that it will do what we say it will, trust that it will be well maintained to make sure it works and trust that it is compliant with all health and safety requirements. And then, delivering all of that every time a customer makes a new order or a new customer hears we are worth trying out.
Prioritising responsibility in a broader context means we seek, through our sustainable business model, to improve the lives of our customers, employees, investors and the communities where we live and work. Being active, engaged members of the communities where we operate is enormously important to our staff. Our customers trust us to provide better service than our competitors. Our employees trust us to help keep them safe and reward them well for their efforts. Investors trust us to deliver good returns throughout the economic cycle.
Below are the responsible business elements that we judge to be the most material to our business and which we discuss in detail here. We assess why each matters, how we have performed and our objectives.
The obligation for ensuring Ashtead remains a responsible business rests with the Group's board of directors. The board is assisted in this function by the Group Risk Committee, which is chaired by Michael Pratt.
The Group Risk Committee provides the Audit Committee, and through them the Board, with a comprehensive annual report on its activities including new legislative requirements, details of areas identified in the year as requiring improvement, and the status of actions being taken to make those improvements. It also facilitates the coordination of the environmental, health, safety and risk management activities of Sunbelt and A-Plant so that best practice and new initiatives in one business can be shared with, and adopted by, the other.
Our commitment to the highest ethical standards means that the Group Risk Committee also works to ensure these continue to be communicated and upheld throughout the business. Our group-wide ethics and entertainment policies are communicated directly to employees through dedicated communication and training programmes. Whistle-blowing arrangements, in place in the US, Canada and the UK, allow employees, in confidence, to raise concerns about any alleged improprieties they may encounter.


John Thomas Hooper was born on the 11th November 1882 in the small rural town of Carterton, New Zealand. John was the son of William John Hooper and Charlotte Compton. The Hooper and Compton families were early settlers in the Wairarapa district of New Zealand. John was named after his paternal grandfather John Thomas Hooper who died in 1904 and was buried in the Clareville Cemetery at Carterton. John was educated at the Dalefield School that was about three quarters of a mile from the Dalefield Road farm in Dalefield Road. John left school at an early age to help his father run the family farm, as was the normal custom of this era. The photograph below of school children at the Dalefield School is dated about 1890 and may include one or more of William and Charlotte Hooper's children. John's sister, Alice was ten, John was eight, brother Joseph was six and brother Walter was five years old in 1890 and all were known to have attended the Dalefield School (it is probable that one or more of the Hooper children are in the Dalefield School photograph below). John became involved in the Dalefield School affairs when 'Ma Hendy' was the school's teacher. He was the chairman of the Dalefield School Committee in 1928, and Chairman and Secretary in 1929. A paragraph in the Dalefield School Centenary Booklet stes that 'Hockey was not the only sport that was of importance at the school for in 1928 work was completed on a bitumen tennis court and a basketball court. The head teacher and the late Jack Hooper (this is John), who was chairman of the school committee at the time, were instrumental in it's acquisition'.
John spent a number of his early years bush-felling in the King Country near Raetihi on the Wanganui River side. The hills were covered in large Kauri trees that were logged for the nearby timber mills at Raetihi and Pakihi. Many years after John's departure from the district the Raetihi bush fires of 1918 destroyed much of the remaining bushland and destroyed many of the timber mills that had still been in operation. Two of the mills were owned by the Makotuku Timber Company which had been formed by R W Smith, F J Carter, Alec Bennett and John Punch. Two families who lost their homes, or had them badly damaged, during these bush fires were the Hooper and Bennett families. The Hooper family living in the area at this time is unidentified but the Bennett family was one of the Mill owners. Bennett and Punch, of Mangateitei Road, lost their mill and all their milled timber. F J Carter, at south Horopito, lost his Orata Timber Mill, the milled timber and eighteen houses. Only one house was left standing in the wake of the fire. The remaining forest, to be cleared near Raetihi, had been felled and logged by 1920. It is said, in modern day statistics, that workers in the forrestry industry have a 70% higher death rate than in any other industry. In an era that had no 'Health & Safety' regulations the death percentage would have been greatly increased. John was one who narrowly escaped serious injury and possible death. A large tree he was felling came down and swung towards him. The other men, working along side of John, scrambled away to safety but John stumbled. He fell into a hollow in the ground and the falling tree landed directly above him. The hollow in the ground had saved his life and John was extremly lucky to live to tell of his lucky escape from death.
John returned to his home town in the Wairarapa district some time prior to 1904.The Clareville Hall (above) was the scene for many joyous family and community celebrations. John was a keen musician and liked to perform in local plays organized for the locals enjoyment. On one such occassion, a dance, he meet a young local girl by the name of Jessie Marion Allen. Her grandfather George Allen had been one of the Mayor's of Wellington in 1879 and her father William Allen was one of the Wairarapa's early settlers. It is told that Jessie's father did not approve of her association with John Hooper as he considered him to be a rogue. William Allen tried to discourage the relationship from forming, between John Hooper and his daughter, by threatening to cut Jessie from his will. William Allen was probably forced to except John in the hope of avoiding a local scandal as John Hooper married a pregnant Jessie Marion Allen on the 30th March 1904 at St Marks Church in Carterton, New Zealand. Reverend R Young performed the ceremony. John's best man was Mr Bishop and Jessie was attended by bridesmaids Hannah Lily Hooper and Daisy Hooper, John's sisters. Witnesses for the marriage were Hugh McPhee of Carterton and Jessie's aunt Caroline Ann Allen of Wellington. John and Jessie's first born arrived into the world five short months later on the 30th August 1904.
John and Jessie settled into married life at Carterton. They lived in the Lipinski house that belonged to one of Jessie's realtives. This house was in Dalefield Road, close by the Hooper family farm and also close to the Dalefield Dairy Co-Op. It is here, in the Dairy Co-Op, that John is most likely to have learnt the trade of cheese making. In 1904 when he married Jessie his occupation was given as cheesemaker. The first three of Jessie and John's children were born in this home. Arthur in 1904, Leonard in 1906 and Clarence in 1907 (as seen below in the two photographs on the left and center).
Some time between 1907 and 1910 John decided to leave Carterton and move back to Shannon and the timber country. The house they lived in was on a one or two acre block of land. A wooden tram line ran past the house and carried logs from the bush to the nearby mill. John was not employed as a tree feller this time but had a career change and became the mills cook. It seems John, like many of his family, was able to turn his hands to anything he wished to do. Daughter, Ivy Isabel Christine Hooper was born here on 25th December 1910 (Ivy is in the photograph above right). Several years later John took up an offer to become a share-milker on the Stockholm Station farm at Arapati. The farm was owned by the Strawbridge family, who lived in Waituna West. The two families most likely knew each other already as both still had family living back in Carterton. Waituna is a small country town north of the larger rural town of Fielding. It had a Post Office, Church, Cemetery and one or two other shops and buildings. The local school was known as the Dunolly School as it was on Dunolly Road. This later became known as the Waituna West School (as seen in the photograph below). The Hooper and Strawbridge children attended this school. John and Jessie's house (as seen in the photograph below) was a few miles out of Waituna on the Williamson Road.
Stockholm Station was a small settlement with several cottages, a cheese factory (seen in the photograph above), a wool store and numurous farm sheds and barns. The station backed onto a gorge that framed the banks of the Waintuna Stream (this gorge can be seen in the foreground of photograph of dam below behind the trees in the foreground). Jessie would tell her children how sea shells and an anchor had been found in the banks of the gorge. Decendants, who have visited this area, also tell of seeing a bed of shells, about a foot deep and six feet from the top of the bank. The cheese factory was located next to the 'Hooper' farm house. John would work in the factory stirring large vats, slicing and salting the curd for it to be hooped and pressed. John's brother, Herbert Hooper, also came to Waituna and joined John at the cheese factory in the 1920's. Herbert meet and married his wife Muriel Violet Chandler here, a daughter of a neighbouring farmer, Samuel Chandler. Herbert was also a skilled cheesemaker and would have been a great help to John. The Stockholm Cheeses often won prizes at the Dannevirke Show and won first prize for Best Export Quality at the show.
Like most children who grow up on a farm life would have been a combination of fun, freedom and work. Most children were required to help out on the farm before and after school. Jessie and John's children were no exception to the this rule. Going mushroom picking was not only fun but supplimented the families diet. The older children would spend time roaming the nearby hills and fishing the local stream. On the farm was a great dam (as seen in the centre photograph above) in which the older children, Artie, Len and Clarrie, used to play and swim. They had a log tied to the edge of the dam. The boys would push the log out into the middle of the dam, scramble up onto it and she who could balance the longest. Ivy, being to young to play in the dam would watch her brothers from the safety of the backyard. The 5th of May 1914 must have been a busy day on the Hooper farm. Jessie's attention was drawn away, Artie was called away by his father and the two boys were in the wool shed playing. Len was supposed to be keeping a watchful eye on Ivy. Little Ivy was unable to resist going down to the dam and tried to emulate her brothers. As she clambered onto the log, it rolled, and Ivy was tipped into the dam. Jessie sensed something was wrong and went running outside but it was too late. Tragically Ivy had drowned. The quilt stayed with Len as it naturally would. He was only eight years old himself at this time. John, it is said, blamed Jessie for Ivy's death. Losing their only daughter and sister must have been a time of unbearable grief for the family. Ivy was laid to rest in the Waituna West Cemetery in plot No3. Jessie and John had another baby born between 1910 and 1917 but the date is not known. A unnamed Hooper is buried in Plot No4 beside Ivy's grave and it is believed to be this baby. John and Jessie had two more children, Trevor on the 9th January 1917 and Isobel Marion on the 1st September 1921. Both children were born in the Fielding Hospital.
In 1921 John's brother's Jo, Frank and Edgar Hooper decided to leave the Dalefield farm. Herbert agreed to remain at Arapati to run the Stockholm Station. This left John and Jessie free to return to Carterton to take over the family farm. (The location of the farm can be seen in the photograph above, behind the horse and cart, which was John Hooper taking milk to the Dalefield Dairy Co-Op). Little is known about how the move took place but Old Girlie, John's favourite horse, went to Dalefield with them. It is most likely the horse and drey was the means used to take families belongings from Arapati to Dalefield. Artie remained behind to finish his schooling at Hikaurangi College. He also worked as a farm hand at Pirinoa, but was soon reunited with his family at Dalefield. Len worked on the farm but also worked on other farms in the district or cutting wood at Martinborough for Mr Ross, as did his brother Clarrie. Clarrie, at the age of twelve had already left home, before the family moved from Arapati, after an arguement with his father. Jessie, with baby in arms and young Trevor in tow, would most probably have travelled by train back to Carterton. Trevor, who would have been aged five at this time, vaguely recalls catching a train with his mother and baby sister Isobel. He recalls walking across the paddock's to his Grandfather Allen's house at Clareville, from the train station, and being chased by his grandfathers prized bulls. John and Jessie were unable to move into the Dalefield farm house as Edgar had not yet moved so they rented a small four roomed cottage on the Dalefield Road just past the cross-roads and about a mile from the Hooper farm until Edgar left.
The original two story home, once occupied by John's grandparents, John and Rebecca Hooper, had fallen into disrepair and was basically an empty shell. The smithie (black smiths buildings), that had stood for years near the entrance to the property, had gone. John, it would seem, had exchanged a comfortable lifestyle for one that would demand many hours of hard work in order to bring the house and farm back to workable and liveable standards. The main paddocks near the house were in reasonable condition but the reaminder of the paddocks were mostly swamp land. John worked from the early hours of morning until after ten in the evenings, digging ditches and lining them with stones, in order to drain the water from the back paddocks. At one stage there were fourteen men helping John with the drains. This work took years to complete and John's grandchildren can recall being paid threepence for each kerosene tinned they filled with stones and delivered to their grandfather on the farm. Jessie was required to milk the cows (as seen doing in the photograph above, with her son Artie).
John and Jessie had two more children who were born at Dalefield. Jessie was a tiny built lady and worked extremly hard on the farm. Jessie spent little time, or had little time, to properly care for her own health and many of her babies were born very tiny and under weight. A son, Vernon Hooper, was born at Nurse Peter's house in High Street, Caterton at the end of April in 1924. He had been carried to full term but at birth weighed only four pounds. Vernon slipped from life four days after birth on the 1st May 1924 due to general debility, malnutrition and heart failure. He was buried in Plot 75 in the Clareville Cemetery on the 2nd May 1924 in the same grave as his great grandmother Rebecca Hooper. This grave is unmarked. Jessie gave birth to another son around 1928 but this baby also died as the cord wound around the babies neck causing strangulation. Jessie's daughter recalled visiting her mother at this time who was being cared for by a friend in Clifton Street. The baby was named Clifton. There is no record of his death or burial other than family memories. Jessie gave Clifton's baby clothes to John's brother Len and his wife May for their first born child in 1932 by which time Jessie had become a widow.
The Hooper family had gathered back at Carterton to celebrate the 50th birthday of Alice Miscall (nee Hooper) on the 3rd May 1930. On the 2nd May 1930 John Thomas Hooper rode his bike into Carterton. He was attending to some family business in town and the day was coming to an end. Some family members say he had called into the local hotel for a drink before returning home and had been offered a lift home by a family friend, James MacKay, in his car. Whilst driving along the Dalefield Road and approaching the Maungatarere bridge James had been dazzled by the lights of what he thought was an oncoming car. James pulled his car over onto the side of the road and misjudged the distance. His car plunged off the road and into the creek. James escaped but John was pinned under the car. Althought the creek was only shallow, John, unable to free himself, was drowned. Jessie was devastated, as was the rest of the family. The Hooper family who had gathered to celebrate their sister Alice's birthday, were now gathered in mourning for their brother John's death. John was buried in the Clareville Cemetery in Carterton. Jessie never remarried. Her sons helped her manage the farm and the last Hooper to manage the family farm was her son Clarence John Hooper. Jessie Marion Hooper died in the Masterton Public Hospital on the 14th September 1964. Jessie was reunited with John thirty four years after his death when she was buried beside him in the Clareville Cemetery.

HMAS Newcastle makes final entry into Sydney
June 21, 2019 – It was a happy occasion tinged with a hint of sadness as HMAS Newcastle arrived alongside Fleet Base East after entering Sydney for the final time with her 'paying off' pennant flying.
Family and friends waited patiently alongside, welcoming the ship's company home from their four month deployment.
Signs on the wharf ranged from 'welcome home' banners to birthday wishes.
For many of the crew it felt good to be home, but for some it was also a sad moment -knowing this was the last time the ship would arrive in port.
Following a brief period of downtime, the ship and her crew will prepare for decommissioning later this month.
HMAS Newcastle is the last of the Adelaide class frigates commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy and the last of her type to be built in Australia – in Williamstown, Victoria.
For the Commanding Officer, Commander Anita Sellick, the return to Sydney was a momentous occasion.
"I am so proud of the ship and crew for all that has been achieved over the last few months.
"I know, like the rest of the crew, I'm looking forward to spending some time with my family," Commander Sellick said.
After more than 25 years' of service, HMAS Newcastle will be decommissioned in a ceremony at Fleet Base East on June 30.

Let's Celebrate Our Independence!
When I was a child, it annoyed me that my birthday cakes were often decorated with fireworks. Today, however, I'd be honored to celebrate with the red, white and blue. I understand what an honor and a privilege it is to live in a free country where we take for granted so many rights that people in other nations only dream about having.
The tradition of celebrating Independence Day dates back to the 18th Century. The Continental Congress voted in favor of independence two days before delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Americans continue to celebrate the Fourth of July with festivities, ranging from fireworks and parades to family gatherings and backyard barbecues. Isn't it amazing how the birth of our nation's independence 243 years ago still unites us? I was overcome by a great sense of patriotism yesterday as I was walking down Main Street in Clear Lake, Iowa, waving an American flag.
Waving the flag demonstrates support for our great nation. It made me think about the symbolism between waving our country's flag and that of our favorite sports teams or organizations. I started thinking about what I can do to wave our company's flag.
At Latham Hi-Tech Seeds, we're proud to be family-owned and independent. Our independence means we don't have to answer to shareholders or Wall Street. We don't have a parent company to lean on during the tough times. We can only succeed when our farmer-customer succeeds. That means we take great pride in researching seed products and selected those that are bred to perform best in specific geographic areas.
The Latham Team is as committed to helping farmers today as it was when Willard Latham founded our family's seed business in 1947. We're proud to be living our family's legacy right here on the Latham family's Iowa Century Farm.
We'd like to show you our research farm and walk the plots that showcase the newest seed traits and technologies. Mark your calendars for our annual Latham® Technology Tour on September 6 in Alexander, Iowa. More details will be coming soon.
In the meantime, let's celebrate our independence and National Ice Cream month with a flashback to Evelyn Latham's kitchen. Evelyn was known for her cooking skills and hospitality. It wasn't unusual for her to feed a room full of family, hired men or customers as serving others was an act of love.
Evelyn was such an inspiration to me, so today I'm sharing her recipe for ice cream cake. You'll also find several links to celebrate our independence.
NOTE: If you'd like a thick slice of the best homemade chocolate cake, click here . Click on the following links for other patriotic dessert ideas: Kid-Friendly Fourth of July Treats, Patriotic Pinwheels, Rice Krispy Star Treats and Red, White & Blue Rice Krispy Bars. Of course, you could always make the "tried and true" original Rice Krispy Treats recipe using the Red, White and Blue limited edition cereal.
Ice Cream Dessert
½ gallon vanilla ice cream (softened)
2 c. Rice Krispies
1 c. coconut
½ c. nuts pecans, chopped
2/3 c. brown sugar
Crush Rice Krispies with rolling pin and then mix them with coconut, nuts, brown sugar and butter.
Put 2/3 of this mixture in the bottom of a 9×13 cake pan.
Next place the ice cream put the rest of the Rice Krispies mixture on top.
Place in freezer.

Помпе́о Коло́нна (; ,  — , ) — итальянский кардинал, епископ Риети и вице-король Неаполя из рода Колонна. Был племянником кондотьера Просперо Колонна.

Биография
Помпео Колонна, будучи подозреваем в заговоре с целью убийства папы Римского Юлия II и в нападении на Капитолий, был лишён своих церковных титулов и званий, однако в июле 1517 года папой Львом X возведён в кардинальское звание; 4 ноября 1517 года ему был назначен титул Санти-XII-Апостоли (Santi XII Apostoli).
