Barbara! It all happened so quickly, yet, I'll bet you feel like a citizen after such an intense week. Wow. I hope you two have a wonderful flight home as you remember the grand time you've had.
but we are on our flight home now. Actually we were there two weeks, and you realize that that's how long it takes to feel completely at home in a new city. That's a great freedom. Miss you.
We're in Frankfurt and I have to shift my brain from Italian to German. Then the long flight across the ocean, and a brief stint in Ottawa before we're home to our messy little house and the cats and dogs.

ESA's new small telecom platform was launched on 28 January 2017. The Hispasat 36W-1 satellite, based on the SmallGEO platform, lifted off on a Soyuz rocket from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
SmallGEO is Europe's response to the market demand for more flexible, modular telecommunications platforms. It marks the first time the German satellite manufacturing company OHB System AG have been the prime contractor for a telecommunications satellite mission. Its Hispasat payload marks the first ESA partnership with a Spanish operator.


Good morning and welcome to Straight from the Beek – you're place to ask whatever's on your mind about the Falcons or, really, anything NFL-related. Based on my inbox right now, the draft and free agency are on the minds of most Falcons fans at the moment. So, let's get to them. Just remember that all opinions here are mine unless otherwise noted.
I've been a Falcons fan all my life and I would like to know what you think our run game will be like this year. Our receivers are great. Austin Hooper will be better this year, as long as we keep Matty Ice upright. But I don't know how Devonta Freeman is going to look coming off last season's injury. When he was healthy, he was tough. He has to get a little bit better catching the ball.
Matt: Thanks for the question, Jimi. I think it's one that every single die-hard Falcons fan out there is wondering about, too. We all know what Devonta Freeman is capable of doing when he's healthy – and this offense is at its best when the run game is effective. If you look what the Falcons have done so far in free agency – they've signed three guards and a versatile blocking tight end along with re-signing Logan Paulsen, known primarily for his blocking. They've given Ty Sambrailo an extension, but they're not done addressing the line – specifically that right tackle spot. Why do I bring all of that up? Because it's very clear the Falcons are making a concerted effort to improve the offensive line. They need to keep Matt Ryan upright (he was sacked 42 times in 2018) and run the ball more effectively. And Freeman is a big key to it all. Based on everything we've heard so far (and it's been somewhat limited, to be fair), all signs are pointing to healthy road to recovery for Freeman. The Falcons need him to produce like he did in 2015, 2016 and for most of 2017. Just having him for 16 games would be huge for this team. Remember, he only played in two games last year. The injury bug bit this team hard in 2018. With no Tevin Coleman on the roster (he signed with the 49ers), it'll be even more imperative Freeman returns healthy and like his old self again. Huge year for him. Stay tuned.
Hey Beek, would we draft another running back or two after we pick up some D-linemen? Darwin Thompson from Utah State is a sleeper who I think would thrive in Atlanta. He has a ton of yards after contact and a way with making people miss. What do you think? Thanks!
Matt: Love knowing there are Falcons fans in Idaho! As to your first question, yes, I think there's a very good chance the Falcons take another running back in this draft. They have nine picks at the moment – that could change, right? – and I could one (or possibly two) being used on a back. I think one is more likely. Regardless, as we've seen the last two seasons – and as I noted above about Devonta Freeman – the Falcons have needed three running backs to get through the season, mainly due to injuries. Those guys take a beating; it's a tough position. Now, as far as Darwin Thompson goes … it's a tough call and here's why. I don't know his personal situation, but I wish there was more than one year to look at in terms of his total body of work. He played one season there before declaring. Based on what I've read about him, he's 5-foot-8, 200 pounds and scored 16 touchdowns on 176 touches in 2018. He might be smaller, but he's known to be a tough runner between the tackles and can catch the ball. All positives. There are some question marks about him, plus he doesn't have elite, breakaway speed. One scouting report on Thompson read: "He will be unable to outrun NFL speed to the corner so his future may be limited to what he can do between or over the tackles." It sounds like he'll be a late-round pick (Day 3) or an undrafted free agent, Parker. I honestly don't know a ton about him, but unless there aren't any red flags (i.e., off the field concerns), he'll end up in someone's camp and get a shot.
Everyone talks about 14, but what about Atlanta trading back into the first round to draft, say, another CB like Greedy Williams or Deandre Baker? Make much sense?
Matt: It makes sense only if the Falcons can still pick up the player they really want at whatever spot they end up trading down to, Erik. They have nine picks at the moment – that's a lot of picks. They also have some glaring needs, specifically along the defensive line at defensive tackle and defensive end. They also could use another right tackle. And there should be some very good players available at the No. 14 spot – players that could help this team. If anything, I could see the Falcons packaging some of those picks and trading up at some point, if not in the first round then maybe in the second or third – or even on Day 3. Maybe they pick at 14 and then trade back into the bottom of the first round with a team that has multiple holes to fill? I don't know, but at this point any scenario is possible. For what it's worth, I do think they'll draft another cornerback – they need some depth (as well as someone who can challenge/push Desmond Trufant and Isaiah Oliver). I really like Deandre Baker's confidence, too. I could see him going in the first round, maybe the bottom half.
Hey Beek, sorry I wasn't as cordial as I should've been on my question. I'm a big fan and been reading you for the past five years. My question is, do you think we can pacify Julio Jones with added money again this year so we can lock up Grady Jarrett? And if we do, how will we be able to handle the contracts that are coming due next season? Keep up the good work, me and a fellow Falcons fan from Richmond stay tuned in to you and read all your articles. We appreciate what you provide for us and feel you keep us in the loop on all Falcons news. Thank you.
Matt: Hey, Winston – thanks for the support, and you guys are more than welcome! Look, it's not going to be easy – and managing the salary cap is something all teams have to deal with. Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff has said that keeping Julio Jones and Grady Jarrett in the fold (for years to come) is a huge offseason priority. I believe it'll happen; Dimitroff is very good at his job and continues to draft well on top of it. Dimitroff said that he will have to be very creative with how the deals are structured because he knows that there are a number of younger Falcons they have identified as core players they want to keep in the fold, too. The good news is that Jones has said that he's comfortable with how things are going – and is cognizant of the challenges the Falcons face cap-wise. Remember, the deadline for the Falcons to get a long-term, more cap-friendly deal with Jarrett in place is July 15. Stay tuned.
Is Grady Jarrett going to get his extended contract? Because he means a lot to me and the Falcons.
Matt: Hey, Tyler. Check out the response above. I think it'll happen – and, yes, Grady Jarrett means a lot to the Falcons, too. Should the Falcons sign Jarrett to a long-term deal, that contract will be much friendlier than the current $15.2 million tender. Cap friendly means more available funds. The key date to keep in mind is July 15. Once that passes, Jarrett will be locked into the one-year deal and that figure will count against the Falcons salary cap.
With the way that our offense and defense is looking through free agency and the upcoming draft, how well do you think we will do at the way that our schedule is looking so far? Also do you think that we might have a chance at making the top five WR duos as far as yards and TDs? Thanks, Beek.
Matt: You guys know I hate making season predictions before the draft and while free agency is still in full swing. Heck, I don't like making them until late August. But since I've already written once in the last week, I'll do it again – I think, for now, the Falcons will win 10 games in 2019. As I noted before … I think the Falcons' offensive line is going to be better next season and I think Devonta Freeman will have solid comeback type of season, too. I also think the defense will be better and much more consistent – mainly because they'll be healthier. I think having Dan Quinn calling the defense will be huge for this unit. I think those three to four factors alone will spell three more wins than last year. As far as having one of the top-five receiving duos (in yards and scores) ... yes, without question. That was an easy one, Kenneth.

Making Sense (Part 2 of 2)
Islam is implemented according to what percentage of the population is Muslim. Hence in a country like Australia where the number of Muslims is comparatively small but increasing, Muslims will often say their responsibility is to obey the laws of the country in which they live, rather than adopt agreed common practices of Sharia Law, some of which would be contrary to a secular state's laws.
This does not totally prevent Muslims participating unofficially in polygamy, the practice of underage marriage or female genital mutilation. There are numerous instances of secular states implementing their laws against such practices. But some analyses show that as the number of practicing Muslims within non-Muslim states gradually increases, Muslim behavior changes to be less accepting of the hitherto majority non-Muslim opinion.
This follows the example of Prophet Mohammad. When he was in an exposed tenuous position in Mecca trying to gain acceptance for his new religion, the revelations from Allah were often persuasively inclusive and inviting. After he fled to Medina, gained acceptance, social and military might and a position of power, Allah's revelations became harsher. Later uncompromising Muslim scholars developed a theory of Abrogation in which earlier utterances were abrogated by later ones. Thus one needs to know, when a Muslim spokesperson is quoting the Quran, is he quoting an early saying to gain acceptance or is it a later final position.
In the case of the recent defeat of the Christian governor of Jakarta and the charge
against him of alleged blasphemy, Muslim imams and political activists realized that because the Jakartan population was majority Muslim they could invoke a long standing rule of the Islamic sharia that no non-Muslim can have leadership over Muslims. This is in spite of the fact that such discrimination is against the Indonesian constitution.
The charge of blasphemy and the threat of denial of religious burial rites merely ensured that all who were Muslim would conform to the wishes of the Muslim religious leaders. In Islam it is more important to belong then to believe. It is not an individualized faith like contemporary Christianity. It is communal and one must conform to whatever a leader dictates.
A further reason for apparent contradictions is that what is said is dependent on timing and context. If a Muslim considers his life or his religion is under threat, according to the precedent of the Prophet and the doctrine of Taqiyya, a Muslim is permitted to engage in deception or lying (Q.16:106). In countries where Muslims are still relatively few the statements made in public do not always align with beliefs held in private.
One national Muslim leader in Australia who approved the Quranic teaching and the Prophet's example of wife beating had to retract his statement because of public hostility and secular political pressure. He learned his lesson. Shortly afterwards, when speaking on a contentious issue he began by saying, "What I say to the public…." Quite so!
Another common form of deception is the claim that Islam is "a religion of peace". It is literally a religion of surrender. Islam means submission. Allah is the all-supreme master and his followers assume the status of slaves. By "peace" non-Muslim hearers are led to believe that what is on offer is an absence of conflict or war. But the Muslim understanding is that "peace" is only achieved when Islam totally dominates the world and its adherents have "succeeded" and rule over all. Along the road to that objective, the means employed are always justified by the end in view.
The words which Muslim and non-Muslim use may be the same, but the meanings differ according to one's religious background and the values formed from that. For Christians truth is absolute, unchangeable and non-negotiable. In a Muslim society meaning may very according to context. It is therefore common practice in a Muslim society not to trust anyone until they have proved trustworthy. In a Christian society everyone is trusted till they prove untrustworthy.
That which seems irreconcilable and non-sensible becomes sensible according to worldviews constructed from religious fundamentals.

REAL PROTEST – Why are the liberation feminists so quiet?
Last November when on election night Donald Trump won the vote to become the President elect of the USA, Hawaiian grandmother Teresa Shook issued an online call for women to protest in Washington DC on inauguration weekend in 2017. Within 12 hours thousands of people had signed up. Reportedly 600 marches were planned to happen around the world "to protect the rights of women…who feel they would be made vulnerable by the policies and politics of a Trump presidency. January 21 became the big day for the Women's March on Washington.
One of the lead organisers in America of the Women's March was Linda Sarsour, a "pro-Palestinian" activist who reportedly supports Shariah Law. "Shariah law is reasonable and once you read into the details it makes a lot of sense." Really?
The Palestinian Authority adopted the Jordanian 1960 "rape marriage" law that states that a rapist will not be prosecuted if he marries his victim.
Shariah Law is based upon Islam's sacred texts, especially that which is mandated by the Quran. From this source we learn that:
Men are superior to women. (Q.2:228)
A woman's testimony is worth only half that of a man in legal matters. (Q.2:282)
Men are the guardians of women who are to be obedient to them and within marriage a husband is granted the right to "beat" or "scourge" his wife should she not conform to his wishes. (Q.4:34)
Women are regarded as "tillage". (Q.2:223)
In inheritance matters women are granted only half that of men. (Q.4:11-12)
There is much more. And Feminist Sarsour finds this reasonable?
In India Shayara Banu and several other women filed a petition to the Supreme Court asking for the court to quash the practice of "triple talaq". This is where a Muslim husband thrice repeats a simple verbal formula that results in a wife being automatically divorced. She has no right of appeal and must accept her husband's decision.
Shayara is also challenging the concept of "nikah-halal" under which a woman must first consummate another "marriage" should she agree with her husband's wish to resume their original marriage. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has reportedly defended Islamic divorce practice by reportedly saying "…it is better to divorce a woman than to kill her. The rights bestowed by religion can't be questioned in a court of law."
In Iran in January a female body builder was arrested and jailed for publishing photos of herself in her work-out clothes. The charge was she had violated Iran's laws defining nudity. In Iran "nudity" is allowing any part of a woman's body—arms, legs or hair, not to be completely covered by mandatory clothing. In the Gaza Strip, Armina Suliman went for a bike ride very early in the morning in the Jabalia refugee camp. She loved the feeling of "liberation". But it came with condemnation for shameful behavior.
In Afghanistan's Jawzjan province, women are begging for arms to protect themselves from the depredations of the Taliban. In Syria 400 Yazidi women, having been forced into sex slavery by ISIS operatives have joined the Kurdish Pershmerga to fight back.
Last month it was reported that Dorsa Derakhshani, an 18 year old Iranian chess master who chose not to wear the hijab head covering during a competition in Gibraltar, was banned from the national team. But when women ministers of the self-declared "feminist government" of Sweden who had committed to prioritise gender equality in all policies national and international, went to visit Iranian President Hassan Rouhani they dressed in hijabs, pants and long coats. Signing trade deals would seem to be a higher priority.

Hundreds of millions of women around the world live with daily serious oppressions and comparative non-existent liberty. But Western Women's Liberation Feminists seem spectacularly silent about these grievances. Their priority was to organize protests around the world against President Trump before, as President, he had done anything or completed one day in office.
In Berlin at the anti-Trump protest, non-Muslim feminists were filmed chanting "Allah Akbar". If you want to understand realities for women behind that chant get a copy of 'The Hidden Half" Women and Islam". Click the link or go to the books tab on this website. There you might find a real cause for protest.

FIVE MINUTES OF FAME
The Federal Government funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) runs a programme called Q & A (Questions and Answers). Each week a panel of people from different backgrounds are assembled and questioned by members of a selected audience. No subject is too controversial for discussion. The platform panel usually consists of members who hold opposing views on whatever are the main subjects for discussion. A host guides the questions and answers probably to ensure hot button issues are provocatively addressed. A bear pit of unleashed emotion always attracts a larger viewing audience than that of controlled logical analysis.
On Monday night 13 February 2017 one of the panel members on Q & A was a 25-year-old lady who presented herself as an Islamic "activist". Many viewers had probably never heard of Ms Yasmin Abdel-Magied.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/erin-maclean/26550242380/
The Australian Government had obviously heard of her. Last November they sent the Australian Sudanese Egyptian Muslim "activist" on a taxpayer-funded tour to promote her book in several of the most restrictive countries of the Middle East. The ABC knows her very well. They list her as making regular appearances on their programmes, Q&A, The Drum, The Project, Radio Triple J, Radio National and ABC local radio. She would seem to be a rising media star.
One suspects that the title "activist" was that which qualified the young lady. It held out the promise of more heat than light especially when Australian Senator Jacqui Lambie was also on the panel. She is well known for advocating against some common Islamic practices especially its requirements for women to "cover up" and for its treatment of women in general.
As Senator Lambie and Ms Abdel-Magied tried to out shout each other content was sacrificed to volume. Senator Lambie lacked the detailed knowledge to counter the arguments advanced by her opponent. Ms Abdel-Magied's outbursts, obviously appreciated by the clapping crowd who cheered her on, lacked little relationship to reality. Even Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamic group banned in some countries because of its hard line applications of Islamic teaching whose advice Ms Abdel-Magied subsequently sought, conceded that she did not have "the required deep knowledge of Islam to prosecute her case."
So where was the much applauded "activist" deficient with regards to her explanations of Islam? In defence of Shariah Law she claimed that Muslims are obliged to follow the law of the land in which they reside. That is true but only up to where local law may be in contravention of any principles of Shariah in which case the latter prevails.
She claimed that:
Islam is "the most feminist religion"
Muslim women "got equal rights well before the Europeans"
"Anti women issues" in some Muslim states are because of "political and cultural reasons" not because such practices are mandated within Islam's sacred texts—Quran, Traditions, Biographies of the Prophet Muhammad.
But a cursory glance at those texts reveals:
Men are superior to women (Q 2:228)
Men are in charge of women (Q 4:34)
Women by nature or temperament are inclined toward guile or maliciousness (Q 12:28, 33, 34, 50)
Women are the most harmful trial and affliction for men (Al-Bukhari No. 5096)
Women are deficient in matters of intelligence and religion (AL-Bukhari 304)
At law a woman's testimony is worth only half that of a man (Q 2:282)
A wife needs her husband's permission to fast (Al-Bukhari 5192)
A wife needs her husband's permission to attend a meeting at a mosque (Al-Bukhari 873)
In the marriage relationship, a wife is described as "tilth" implying the husband has total rights over his wife's body (Q 2:223)
If a wife disobeys her husband angels will curse her (Al-Bukhari 5193, 5194)
A wife should not allow anyone to enter the home without her husband's consent (Al-Bukhari 5098)
Should a wife disobey her husband a series of punishments of increasing severity up to "scourging" is permitted but a husband "should not flog his wife as he flogs a slave and then have sexual intercourse with her in the last part of the day" (Q 4:34; Al-Bukhari 5204)
In matters of estate inheritance the share of a son is to be twice that of a daughter and for a wife one eighth or one fourth and for a husband one half or one fourth (Q 4:2; Al-Bukhari 4578)
A woman should never be in leadership because "people ruled by a lady will never be successful" (Al-Bukhari 4425)
When a man is praying should a dog, a donkey or a woman pass in front of him his prayer is annulled. (Al-Bukhari 504, 508, 511, 519)
The majority of those trapped in the fires of hell are women (Al-Bukhari 304 5096)
One of the reasons for such punishment was women's ungratefulness toward their husbands. (Al-Bukhari 304, 5197-5198)
One would need several alphabets to list all the restrictions placed upon women. Seeking to divert focusing on Islam's authoritative texts as the source of such provisions, Australian Muslim Women's Human Rights Centre chairwoman, Tasmeen Chopra agreed with Ms Abdel-Magied, reportedly saying that anti-women issues in relation to Islam were not text based.
Since the programme aired reportedly 49 Muslim scholars have demanded "an apology from the ABC for not silencing Senator Lambie saying that the programme host failed to provide a 'safe environment' for Ms Abdel-Magied to speak". (Caroline Overinton, The Australian, p 16, February 16, 2017). Hopefully, Ms Abdel-Magied enjoyed her brief flirtation with fame.
In 2001 Zachariah Matthews, after studying the life of Prophet Mohammad, reportedly concluded that "deception is necessary". If that is so then Abdel-Magied and Chopra may just have been implementing a well-established strategy.

Q: How textinput works with value? <TextInput
  value={'abc'}
  //onChangeText={v => this.props.reduxAction({ prop: 'someprop', value: v })}
/>

What I don't understand is that, when loaded the screen, TextInput starts with value "abc", but when typing, the value still managed to change? Shouldn't it go back to "abc" regardless what you type since we don't have a onChangeText defined?

A: According to my understanding of your question.
Step1:
We should pass value through state.
 constructor(props) {
    super(props);
       this.state = {
      value: 'abc'
    };
  }

Step2:
Change texts
<TextInput
  value={this.state.value}
  onChangeText={v => {
  this.setState({
     value: v
    })
 }}

Press Release: ATFL Commends Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for Leadership in Calling for Temporary Protected Status for Lebanese Citizens
Washington, DC, December 10, 2021 (ATFL) – The American Task Force on Lebanon (ATFL), a leadership organization of Americans of Lebanese descent, commends Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for introducing H.R.6095 – To designate Lebanon under section 244 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to permit Lebanese nationals in the US to be eligible for temporary protected status if they are in danger of overstaying their visas.
On November 30, Congresswoman Tlaib was joined by Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) as original co-sponsors. The bill has since amassed 11 co-sponsors, including Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI), who recently joined ATFL on a Congressional delegation to Lebanon in late November.
TPS, based on a Congressional statute, protects certain overseas visitors in the US from deportation for a specified period of time if they are in danger of overstaying their visas. TPS beneficiaries receive a stay of deportation and are granted work authorization. The other option, at the discretion of the President, is the category of Deferred Enforced Departure (DED), which allows certain individuals from designated countries and regions facing political or civic conflict or natural disaster to stay in the United States.
Despite a letter, led by Rep. Dingell and the other original cosponsors of H.R. 6095, the Department of Homeland Security declined to designate Lebanon for temporary protected status in October. ATFL responded by calling on the Biden Administration to reverse this decision in an October 15 statement.
ATFL was quoted in a press release issued by Rep. Dingell's office on November 30, stating "The American Task Force on Lebanon supports the need to assist Lebanese citizens in danger of overstaying their visas as a result of the difficult and often desperate situation in Lebanon, as proposed in draft legislation offered by Representatives Tlaib, Dingell, Lofgren and Nadler. Faced with one of the worst disasters since the 1800's they should be afforded the designation of Temporary Protected Status as recommended for 18 months to ensure their compliance with US law. During such difficult times the US has prided itself as a friend and welcoming host to those who are in danger of displacement and hardship."
"ATFL continues to advocate for Lebanon to be designated for TPS. We continue to push the Biden Administration to do so and are strongly supportive of H.R.6095 and Congress's leadership in this effort. Importantly, we encourage our members to take action by asking their representatives to co-sponsor this bill and vote for its final passage" said ATFL President Ed Gabriel.
For additional information contact steven.howard@atfl.org
The American Task Force on Lebanon is 501(C)3 nonprofit organization of prominent Americans of Lebanese heritage, who educate for the strengthening of the historic U.S.-Lebanon relationship. The mission and objectives of ATFL shall always be in the best interest of the United States and will promote the national unity, independence, and prosperity of a democratic and multi-sectarian Lebanon.

Home Bengali Famous Person Bengali Singer Ahmed Abbasuddin
bengali culture
Ahmed,Abbasuddin
Ahmed, Abbasuddin (1901-1959) folk singer, was born at Balarampur in Tufanganj subdivision in the district of Cooch Bihar on 27 October 1901. His father, Zafar Ali Ahmed, was a lawyer at the Tufanganj Sub-divisional Court.
Abbasuddin Ahmed
Abbasuddin's interest in music grew through attendance at cultural functions at school and college. He was largely self-taught, except for a brief period when he learnt music from Ustad jamiruddin khan in Kolkata. He sang different types of songs such as folk songs, modern songs, patriotic songs, as well as Islamic songs. He also sang Urdu songs. But Abbasuddin became renowned mainly as a singer of folk songs.
Initially, he became famous for bhawaiya, Ksirol, Chatka in rangpur and Cooch Bihar. He became increasingly popular with his rendition of jari, sari, bhatiyali, murshidi, Bichchhedi (songs of estrangement), Marsiya, Dehatattwa and pala gan, specially when these were made into gramophone records. No other singer could surpass his emotional, full-throated rendition of folk songs. He also sang songs on Islamic themes composed by kazi nazrul islam, jasimuddin and golam mostafa.
In Kolkata Abbasuddin made a number of gramophone records with His Master's Voice as well as with Megaphone, Twin and Regal. By singing at various functions in villages, towns and cities as well as by recording his songs, Abbasuddin made music acceptable and popular in conservative Bengali Muslim society.
Abbasuddin stayed in Kolkata from 1931 to 1947. Initially, he worked temporarily as a clerk in the DPI office and then in the Department of Irrigation in a permanent post. When ak fazlul huq was Chief Minister, Abbasuddin was given a government job as a recording expert. In the 1940s, Abbasuddin's songs played a significant role in raising the Muslim public opinion in favour of the pakistan movement. In 1947, after partition, he joined the Department of Information and Broadcasting as an additional song organiser. As a representative of Pakistan, he participated at the South East Asia Conference in Manila in 1955, at the International Folk Music Conference in Germany in 1956 and at the Bengali Cultural Conference in Rangoon in 1957.
Abbasuddin wrote an account of his life as a singer in Amar xilpi Jibaner Katha (1960). For his invaluable contribution to music he was posthumously honoured with the Pride of Performance Award in 1960, Shilpakala Academy Award in 1979 (posthumously) and Svadhinata Dibas Puraskar in 1981 (posthumously). Abbasuddin Ahmed died on 30 December 1959. His daughter, Ferdousi Rahman, his youngest son, Mustafa Zaman Abbasi, and his granddaughter, Nashid Kamal, are also renowned singers.

The Security Council today extended the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) until 30 September 2016, and authorized a reduction in the number of its personnel, as preparations continue for the security transition to the country's authorities next year.
The Council "affirms its expectation that the Government of Liberia will assume fully its complete security responsibilities from UNMIL no later than 30 June 2016 and encourages Member States and multilateral organizations to continue to provide financial, technical and other assistance to the Government of Liberia in this regard…," said a resolution that was unanimously adopted by the 15-member body.
In his latest report on UNMIL, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon noted that it will be a "historic moment" when the Government of Liberia assumes all its security responsibilities from the Mission. "It will be an important milestone, a demonstration of confidence that the country has turned the corner from conflict, disorder and dependence to a future of sustained peace, unity and independence," he wrote.
While welcoming the important progress made to date by the Government, with support from UNMIL and other partners, Mr. Ban noted that challenges remain that will require additional assistance on all fronts in order to complete the transition by 30 June 2016.
"All stakeholders must sustain their focus on implementing the ambitious transition plan developed by the Government and also on the national reconciliation and continuing political reforms that are essential for consolidating peace," he stated.
By today's resolution, the Council also decided that the mandate of UNMIL will be the protection of civilians; reform of justice and security institutions; human rights promotion and protection; and protection of UN personnel. It also decided that UNMIL shall put "renewed focus" on supporting the Government to achieve a successful security transition.
Further, it was decided that the Mission's authorized military and police strength will be decreased, by 30 June 2016, by nearly 3,260 personnel.
The Council also affirmed its intention to consider the possible withdrawal of UNMIL and transition to a future UN presence to continue to assist the Government to consolidate peace and, in this regard, requested the Secretary-General to conduct an assessment mission in order to provide recommendations to the Council by 15 November 2016.
Liberia is working hard to build institutions, pass legislation and put in place mechanisms that will enable it to maintain stability without the presence of a peacekeeping force, the head of United Nations peacekeeping told the Security Council today.


The Primrose is one of our most familiar and attractive native wild flowers. This low carpeting perennial has pale yellow flowers with a deep yellow centers which are in bloom from March to May with the occasional flower showing much earlier in the year.
Primrose is a plant of cool, shaded locations and is found not only in woodlands, with which it is normally associated, but also hedgerows, north facing banks and mountain and coastal cliffs. It prefers dampish sites unusually on heavy clay soils.
Vegetative reproduction of wild Primroses can take place by the formation of lateral rosettes but it is a slow and rather limited process and reproduction through seed is far more important. Flowers are pollinated by bees, bumblebees and other long 'tongued' insects including syrphid flies and butterflies. One conspicuous pollinator is the bee fly Bombylius major. This furry and stout fly with long, spindly legs can often be seen hovering over Primroses on warm, still days, its long, rigid proboscis sucking nectar from the flowers rather like a hummingbird.
Seed ripens in June and is dispersed by ants and rodents who are attracted by oils in the seed coat.
Primrose seed requires a period of chilling to break dormancy. It therefore needs to be sown in late summer or autumn. Germination will take place the following spring. On average the first flowers appear about twenty months after germination.

Q: How to get the median value in boxplot with seaborn and custom coordinate lists I am passing two lists of coordinates obtained by selectively appending them from my original data frame. I use them to create a boxplot in which the median of those values is drawn.
df = pd.read_csv("path.csv")

# get data from dataframe depending on certain conditions and store it in xValue and yValue
...

g = sns.JointGrid(x=xValues, y=yValues)
g.plot_joint(sns.scatterplot, size=0.1, color='b', linewidth=0)
g.plot_marginals(sns.boxplot, width=0.3, color='b',notch=True, showcaps=False, medianprops={"color": "coral"})

Boxplot will have to compute the median value in order to show it on the graph, so is there any way to get that numerical value?
This question is different from Labeling boxplot in seaborn with median value, Extract outliers from Seaborn Boxplot and Getting values in Seaborn boxplot because these 3 questions use columns directly from the data frame. If you read carefully my question, the data I pass to the boxplot function is an extract of each of the columns of the data frame.

Q: Fatal error: Class 'Xylyx_MyCheckout_Helper_Data' not found in /home/innersan/public_html/classicfinefoods/app/Mage.php on line 546 I got the above error when uploading my Magento Plugin on Siteground. I have tried to deploy this plugin on my local system as well as on our test system. No such errors had arised when deploying on both these systems, but on Siteground it threw this error.
I have developed my Magento Plugin in Magento Community Version 1.9.1.1
I have to deploy it somehow on Siteground which is using Magento version 1.7.0.2
I have also checked about the code compatibility by using version 1.7.0.2 on my local system and then deploying my plugin. Everything worked fine there too.
Here are my required files
config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Xylyx_MyCheckout>
            <version>1.1.0</version>
        </Xylyx_MyCheckout>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <helpers>
            <mycheckout>
                <class>Xylyx_MyCheckout_Helper</class>
            </mycheckout>
        </helpers>
        <models>
            <mycheckout>
                <class>Xylyx_MyCheckout_Model</class>
                <resourceModel>xylyx_mysql4</resourceModel>
            </mycheckout>
        </models>
        <blocks>
            <mycheckout>
                <class>Xylyx_MyCheckout_Block</class>
            </mycheckout>
        </blocks>
    </global>
</config>

I have also created the proper Helper file named Data.php according to the recommended folder locations as suggested in Magento forums.
Data.php
<?php
/**
 * Xylyx MyCheckout Data Helper
 *
 *
 */
class Xylyx_MyCheckout_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract {
}

When I tried to refresh the cache I got this error got Data.php file not found
I have checked both my config.xml and system.xml for any kind of syntactic errors (Be it, white-spaces or any other unwanted tags and checked the tags also)
What could be the actual error happening under the hood??? Or what could be wrong from my side?
Any kind of suggestion on this would be very much help!!!!

A: Have you used any translations in your system.xml.  If so what is the module name you have given?
Eg: translate="label" module="mycheckout"
Have you given the module name as mycheckout?
Explanation:
the translate='label' in the system.xml uses the helper abstract class,
abstract class Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
   /**
    *   Translate array
    *
    *  @param    array $arr
    *  @return   array
    */
   public function translateArray($arr = array())
   {
       foreach ($arr as $k => $v) {
           if (is_array($v)) {
               $v = self::translateArray($v);
           } elseif ($k === 'label') {
               $v = self::__($v);
           }
           $arr[$k] = $v;
       }
       return $arr;
   }

Author(s): Alexis Schaitkin
Claire is only seven years old when her college-age sister Alison vanishes from the luxury resort on the Caribbean island of Saint X on the last night of her family's vacation. Several days later Alison's naked body is found in a remote spot on a nearby cay, and two local men, employees at the resort, are arrested. But the evidence is slim, the timeline against it, and the men are soon released. It's national tabloid news, a lurid mystery that will go unsolved, but for Claire's family there is only the sad return home to broken lives.
Years later, riding in a New York City taxicab, Claire recognizes the name on the cabbie's licence, Clive Richardson - her driver is one of the men originally suspected of murdering her sister. The fateful encounter sets her on an obsessive pursuit of the truth, not only what happened on the night of Alison's death, but the no less elusive question of exactly who was this sister she was barely old enough to know: a beautiful, changeable, provocative girl of eighteen at a turbulent moment of identity formation.
As Claire doggedly shadows Clive, hoping to gain his trust, waiting for the slip that will uncover the truth, an unlikely intimacy develops between them, two people whose lives were forever marked by a tragedy.
Alexis Schaitkin's Saint X is a flawlessly drawn and deeply moving story that hurtles to a devastating end.

I walked to the back of the school to buy 'cacao milk' ice drink and had the chance to chat with the lady for a bit. She was asking for another batch of coins to be delivered but I told her that my coins were running low lately due to us donating to little Hobb's piggy bank. I casually took out 18 baht to pay my drink but she motioned me that it wasn't enough. She said it's 20 baht!! Wow! Have you noticed the latest price 'trend'? Yup, they race to rise!
Now my whole coconut from Lotus supermarket will never be 16 baht like I first came but 29 baht, my favorite chunk of cut salmon will never be 69 baht but 109 baht and when you get lucky, it's still at 89 baht. My organic veggies at Big C will never be 49 baht per air bag but 69 baht and oh, big stuff like gasoline that my car drinks everyday is ever rising, never falling. Now I wonder if my cheap promise rings will rise in price too?
What will it be like 5 years from now?

Amazon's efforts at producing a budget-friendly tablet yielded the Kindle Fire HD 6 and 7, and despite the online retail giant's substantial efforts at marketing the devices, enthusiasts weren't impressed, their judgement buoyed by the tablets' desolate scene in the modding community.
However, it looks like things are finally looking up for owners of the HD 6 and 7, as XDA Recognized Developer jmz made a breakthrough and managed to unlock their bootloaders. With that barrier knocked down, it was only a matter of time before a custom recovery hit the devices, and sure enough, jmz ported TWRP 2.8.6.0 to both tablets. The bootloader unlocking procedure is fairly complex, but jimz has detailed every step thoroughly, guiding users through every step. Flashing TWRP, on the other hand, is relatively easier, and only needs a single command to work its magic.
Given that the Fire HD 6 and 7 are MediaTek devices, the bootloader being unlocked and TWRP being ported are stellar advancements in what previously seemed to be a bleak future. Head over to the bootloader unlock thread and the TWRP thread to get started with modding your tablet. Happy flashing!

Grandson pays tribute to grandfather who came to Chillicothe's Camp Sherman
Roger Page never met his grandfather, but he understands the amazing sacrifice he made for freedom
Grandson pays tribute to grandfather who came to Chillicothe's Camp Sherman Roger Page never met his grandfather, but he understands the amazing sacrifice he made for freedom Check out this story on chillicothegazette.com: https://ohne.ws/2yDr2Yw
Tim Vollet, Community contributor Published 10:50 a.m. ET June 23, 2018
This postcard shows a troop review at Camp Sherman during World War I.(Photo: Card courtesy of the Ross County Historical Society)
Harry Page was 28 years old and lived on Washington Avenue in Chillicothe when, in the summer of 1917, he was drafted and ordered to report to Camp Sherman. Although most Ross County draftees were assigned to the 330th Infantry Regiment, Page served in the 332nd Infantry Regiment. The 332nd gained fame in World War I as the only American regiment sent to the Italian Front.
One hundred years later, Harry Page's grandson, Roger Page, an auto mechanics teacher at Pickaway- Ross Career & Technology Center, visits his grandfather's gravesite at Greenlawn Cemetery on Eastern Avenue in Chillicothe.
"I try to come here from time to time and pay my respects," says Page.
Despite never meeting his grandfather, who died before he was born, Page grew up hearing family stories about how his grandfather trained at Camp Sherman.
"I have always been proud that my grandfather was at Camp Sherman and that out of all the Americans who fought against the Germans in World War I, somehow he got sent to Italy to fight the Austrians," recalls Page.

Pvt. Harry Page and the 332nd Infantry Regiment completed training at Camp Sherman in late May of 1918 and arrived in France on the morning of June 17. Not long after, though, Gen. Pershing, commander of the American Army in Europe, visited the regiment and rumors immediately spread that the 332nd was being sent to Italy.
Gen. Pershing's visit was actually the result of months of behind the scenes negotiations to find an American regiment to shore up the morale of a decimated Italian Army and war-weary civilian population.
After the visit, Gen. Pershing summoned Col. William Wallace, the regimental commander of the 332nd, to his headquarters and the rumors were confirmed. He was told, "Colonel, your regiment has been selected to go to Italy. Prepare it." The official mission was to "to build up Italian morale and to depress that of the enemy by creating the impression that a large force of Americans had reached that front."
In a war that included millions of soldiers on the battlefield, it was unclear how the approximately 4,000 soldiers of the 332nd Infantry Regiment were supposed to create any kind of impression.

Nevertheless, on July 25, 1918, the 332nd boarded crowded box cars, said goodbye to France, and were soon passing through the beautiful snow-capped Alps and in Italy.
It didn't take long for the regiment to realize how much their presence meant to the Italian people. All along the route, cheering crowds gathered waving small Italian flags. Cries of "Viva l' America! Viva l' America!" greeted the soldiers at every stop. Taken aback by the enthusiastic reception, Page and the rest of the regiment were soon shouting in return: "Viva l' Italia! Viva l' Italia!"
The regiment's presence alone on Italian soil was enough to "build up Italian morale" and reassure them that America was on its side. On the other hand, how it was supposed to depress the morale of the Austrians by creating the impression that a large American force had landed was unclear.
"Actually," smiles Page, as he looks up from his crouched position next to his grandfather's headstone, "the story about how my grandfather and his regiment tricked the Austrians was my favorite story when I was a kid."
"The story passed down in the family" explains Page, "was that they would march all over the place in view of the Austrian Air Intelligence, then change uniforms and march some more so they would think they were completely different soldiers. The Austrians thought there were a bunch of Americans there, but it was just my grandpa and the 332nd changing clothes again and again. I always thought that was pretty smart"
Indeed, after the war, when the Austrians were informed that only one American regiment had entered the Italian Front, they refused to believe it and insisted that at least 300,000 Americans had arrived. Without a doubt, the ruse destroyed the morale of the Austrian Army and led to a quicker end to the war
Grave of Harry Page (Photo: Tim Vollet)
The 332nd Infantry Regiment came home to a hero's welcome. In New York City, for example, with its large Italian-American population, the regiment marched up Fifth Avenue past a crowd of thousands of cheering spectators. One person who watched the military parade swore every soldier was "six feet tall and the officers eight feet."
Pvt. Harry Page returned to Chillicothe and worked on the B & O Railroad until he died in March 1950. The Chillicothe Gazette reported that the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars held a combined military service in Soldiers Circle at Greenlawn cemetery. A color guard, bugler and firing squad ensured Harry Page was honored for his service in WWI.
Roger Page, who was not aware that his grandfather was so honored at his burial, shakes his head.
"I am really glad to hear that," he says proudly. "It just makes me more determined to make sure he is not forgotten 100 years after he served."

Part 3 - What communities told us
Our Terms of Reference included an expectation that we would connect with New Zealand's Muslim communities on matters relating to the inquiry. We understood the importance and need to do so. We have also engaged with other communities and we have heard from the wider New Zealand public during our inquiry.
An important group of people we engaged with was the whānau of the 51 shuhada, and survivors and witnesses of the terrorist attack and their whānau. This group of people could collectively be referred to as victims. We heard from some people that they dislike the term victim being used, while others said the term validates the harm they have experienced. Some people prefer the term survivor, while others dislike that term or prefer not to be labelled at all. For this report, we use the description "affected whānau, survivors and witnesses".
This Part summarises their views and perspectives, as well as those of other individuals, communities and interest groups that we heard from. We engaged mainly through private meetings with people or organisations, including meeting regularly with our Muslim Community Reference Group. We also received 1,168 submissions from the public. We heard from a variety of people, providing us with diverse perspectives and experiences.
These insights, experiences and views have been a central part of our inquiry and have been reflected in our report. In addition, we have endeavoured to address specific issues or questions raised by communities directly at the end of relevant Parts of our report.
We note at the outset that the number of people we heard from represents a small proportion of all New Zealanders and they describe largely negative experiences. There have been clear and consistent themes in what we heard, and we believe the issues raised cannot be ignored. Hearing these perspectives helped inform the questions we put to Public sector agencies and the lines of inquiry we pursued to meet our Terms of Reference. In this Part we are primarily recording, and not assessing, what we heard. To the extent that assessment is necessary that comes in later Parts of our report.
In the next chapter, we explain in more detail who we engaged with, why we engaged with them and how we approached the engagement process.
Chapter 3 summarises what we heard about the impact of the terrorist attack on affected whānau, survivors and witnesses. The chapter highlights the ways in which the terrorist attack changed the lives of affected whānau, survivors and witnesses, which extends well beyond the direct harms that resulted from the terrorist attack, both physical and non-physical. We set out the view that the Public sector agencies' systems of support, through which affected whānau, survivors and witnesses are navigating, are insufficient and have exacerbated the trauma and grief that they have already experienced.
Chapter 4 summarises what communities told us about the broader context in which the terrorist attack occurred. We heard from communities that in general New Zealand is viewed positively. But some people have been, and continue to be, subjected to unacceptable and harmful behaviour. What we heard from communities highlighted that there are parts of New Zealand society that do not align with the loving, welcoming New Zealand that came out in full strength immediately after the terrorist attack. We also heard that some communities perceive bias and deficiencies in Public sector agencies that create or exacerbate an environment in which they do not feel safe or supported. This has eroded the trust that some have in New Zealand's Public sector agencies.
Chapter 5 sets out what communities told us about matters that were outside the scope of our inquiry. In some instances, we wrote to relevant Public sector agencies to highlight these issues and where appropriate asked them to follow up the matters directly.
Throughout our inquiry, the main points we heard were that:
it is critical that Public sector agencies enable genuine community engagement in decision-making;
Public sector agencies should value the unique expertise that community and other non-government organisations can contribute to decision-making on issues relating to their communities, and support them to do so;
Public sector agencies' ability to understand and meaningfully engage with communities is hindered by an insufficient appreciation of diversity and a lack of cultural competency;
the preparedness of Public sector systems for the ongoing recovery of those affected by the 15 March 2019 terrorist attack has been found wanting;
New Zealand is generally viewed in a positive light, but harmful, hateful and discriminatory behaviour remains commonplace; and
embracing New Zealand's diversity would support openness of thought and action and may lead to some harmful societal norms being challenged.

Chapter 6 Concluding comments


For most of its history, environmentalism has been associated with a back-to-the-land lifestyle: being one with nature, living in the woods, wearing sandals, maybe driving a Volkswagen. Over the last decade, a counter-narrative has taken over. Cities are in. As climate change has become the dominant environmental issue, a low-carbon lifestyle has become the priority. Denser living is heralded for its energy efficiency, as are walking, biking and taking transit instead of driving.
All other things being equal, walkable urbanism beats sprawl. But one house in Old Snowmass, Colo., demonstrates that, with the right design, rural living can be about as low-carbon as possible. And it turns out those hippies were on to something: the secrets to low-impact rural housing lie in embracing nature instead of combatting it. Plus it helps to have some bleeding-edge technology.
Amory Lovins, the owner of the house, is exactly the guy you'd expect to live here. A bespectacled physicist and world-renowned energy-efficiency expert, he cofounded the Rocky Mountain Institute in 1982 with his then-wife L. Hunter Lovins. They chose this location, nestled up in the mountains 14 miles from Aspen, for RMI's first headquarters, which they built as a model of energy efficiency. The original structure was completed in 1984. Today, RMI has expanded into other buildings, but Lovins still lives in the original house, which got a high-tech makeover in 2009.

Lovins instructs visitors to drink water, because the house's high elevation, around 8,000 feet, causes dehydration, and he throws on a goofy fisherman's hat to protect his bald head when going outside. He calls his home "the Banana Farm," after the tropical fruits grown in its greenhouse.
Many suburbanites have rejected the housing styles best suited to their specific environments, instead embracing a generic image of the American Dream that is often regionally inappropriate. Picture green lawns baking in the Arizona desert. The Banana Farm, however, adopts the classic adobe style indigenous to the Mountain West.
The primary challenge to building a super-efficient home in the mountains is heating. It can get very cold on winter nights in Old Snowmass, as low as -30 Fahrenheit. Heating a home here is an energy-intensive, and expensive, proposition. And so Lovins' single biggest insight was to design it with walls so thick that it didn't require heating.
In an arid mountainous area, the sun is strong during the day. So the 16-inch thick walls — made of concrete, locally harvested sandstone, and a middle four inches of polyurethane — are adept at storing heat throughout the day and retaining it overnight. Typically, an architect would recommend increasing the wall thickness until the point where the marginal savings on heating are passed by the increased costs of building. But Lovins went twice as thick, thereby eliminating the need to build a heating system at all. "We saved $1,100, and that's just on the building, never mind operating the heating," Lovins boasts.
Windows are a major source of air leakage, so the building has "super-windows," which have microscopically thin layers of gases such as krypton and xenon that let in light but prevent heat exchange. "It's equal to 16 layers of glass but it uses only two layers and costs less than three," says Lovins.
Keeping rooms warm is not the only purpose for which most houses require oil or natural gas. To make a "combustion-free" house, Lovins had to solve a few other problems such as drying clothes and heating water. The answer is to harness the sun's natural heating power. Although they have a dryer, Lovins and his current wife Judy usually hang their clothes on a line that can be raised by pulley up into a skylight and dried in the sunlight. They heat water through eight thermal solar panels and send it around the house through pipes that are extra wide and turn at gentle angles to minimize the electricity needed to move it.
The house's electricity is all renewable. Massive solar panels adorn the roof, carport, and grounds alongside the building. The panels produce far more solar power during the day than the Lovinses use, so they sell electricity to the grid during the day and buy wind energy from the grid at night. They also store the solar power in batteries so that they could be fully self-sufficient in a blackout. The batteries would run down at night but be recharged during the day. "In February 2013, there were five power failures [in the area], and we never lost power," says Lovins.
Super-efficient appliances are another reason that the house uses less than half the electricity of most comparable-sized homes. The dishwasher, from Swedish company Asko, has sensors that measure the cleanliness of the water coming out and stop washing when the water is clean, instead of continuing to run for another hour. The result is that it uses two-thirds of the water and electricity of a typical dishwasher. The fridge and freezer are also designed to save more energy than typical models. The compressor, which gives off heat, is located at the top rather than the bottom, so that as the heat rises it goes away and does not necessitate more cooling. The electric stove comes with specially designed copper pots that retain heat and can boil water at an incredible speed. The lights are all LED, and track lighting helps distribute light more efficiently around the large living room.
The main trick, though, is not using more advanced technology, but using the oldest one available. In the middle of the building, between the living area and the office, is a greenhouse. A wide section of roof over it is glass, allowing sunlight and heat to pour in, helping to reduce the need for lighting. "You basically don't turn the lights on during the daytime," says Lovins. The building's rounded walls distribute the light more effectively than a typical house full of right angles.
Lovins grows tropical fruit in the greenhouse, not just the eponymous bananas but mangos and even coffee. The plants consume CO2 and release humidity. They also store heat. The greenhouse also features a pond, which adds ambient noise, a nice feature because such a tightly constructed and mechanical-free house might otherwise be eerily quiet.
Lovins drives an electric car and charges it with solar power. Of course, he'd be an even greater net clean energy contributor if he didn't need a car at all, much less his second one for long trips that exceed the electric car's range. But the Lovinses manage to live a lifestyle that is remarkably low-impact without being abstemious. They even have a solar-heated hot tub.
Looking out at the stunning mountain views they enjoy from the hot tub, it's understandable why they wouldn't want to trade in their 4,000-square-foot house for a cramped urban apartment. And thanks to smart design, they don't have to.

Q: Inline text editing with Mat-table: Does anyone have a good solution to adding inline text editing to a column where you can edit and save and re-edit with mat table like in this example:
https://material.io/design/components/data-tables.html#behavior
it look like it's still an open issue on gitHub: https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/5982

A: The git hub issue you mentioned has a few implementations people have come up with.
You can get inspiration from this:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/material2-beta12-es19ub?file=app%2Fapp.component.html
or this:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-g5u7cy?file=app%2Ftable-editing-example.html
I would go through the github issue to see the different options people have come up with.

A: inside your matColumnDef you should have a 	 and a 	, simply add input to the 	 with reactive forms.

if you wish it to be practically the same as the material example, you could create a position absolute element inside a positioned-relative element inside the  that would propmt on click, receive and input, and close after some logic, to update the formControl.
Still, you'd need formControls, and to edit the matColumnDef.
example taken from the link of the github request
      <ng-container matColumnDef="time">
         time

            <input type="text" formControlName="time" placeholder="Time">

      </ng-container>

The annual ice fishing tournament is one of the largest fundraisers for the United Way. Pictured are participants from the 2018 event.
October is United Way month in Wisconsin as declared by the governor's office and Oct. 1 signaled the beginning of Northwoods United Way's annual fundraising campaign.
United Way supports organizations that can show they can provide one of the three building blocks, provides basic needs, promotes health or works to strengthen youth and families. Each year the volunteer board of directors interviews all applications for funding then determines if and how much money each agency will receive. The fundraising goal this year is $170,000.
Sattler said a new activity this year is "United We Bowl," which will take place Dec. 1 at Hodag Lanes.


20 images that feature intersections. Arranged in a self-invented structure comprising five modules of what I call the "Star Wheel", linked together at "intersections". Each module is kept in sculptural tension by a removable card. Take this out and the work folds flat into a concertina 28cm x 10.5cm.
The five linked modules can be arranged in a variety of configurations.


WHAT TO DO IF MY DEBIT/CREDIT CARD DOES NOT GO THROUGH?
1. That your card is a DEBIT or CREDIT CARD with a VISA/MASTERCARD/AMERICAN EXPRESS logo on it.
5. And lastly if you have a CARD that says INTERNATIONAL , use that FIRST. However if all above fails, you can make a payment using NETBANKING (instructions here) or by purchasing a E-Giftcard from GiftCardsIndia and using that to pay for your order on our store. The gift cards never expire, can be re-gifted and the best part about this is that you do not leave any trace on our site and your financial transaction is happening with a normal Departmental store type Indian entity. We plan to add a network of various other payment options shortly including Suvidha and ItzCash. Sign up on our Facebook page to stay updated with these announcements.
