International student enrolments in universities, Canada
In the 2019/2020 academic year, just prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, student enrolments in Canadian public universities and colleges rose for the fifth consecutive academic year to almost 2.2 million. The increase was largely driven by higher enrolments of international students, a trend that has been ongoing for the last decade. See "International students accounted for all of the growth in postsecondary enrolments in 2018/2019."
From 2018/2019 to 2019/2020, there was a 13.7% (+46,815) increase in enrolments of international students in colleges and universities, while Canadian student enrolments declined by 0.9% (-16,005).
To explore the data in a visual format, refer to "Postsecondary program enrolments and graduates: Interactive tool."
By the end of the 2019/2020 academic year, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the physical closure of colleges and universities across Canada. Many postsecondary students who participated in a crowdsource survey in the spring of 2020 reported that some of their courses had been postponed or cancelled by their institutions, including course work such as labs, applied learning and hands-on instruction that cannot be delivered online. See "Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on postsecondary students."
Number of international college student enrolments more than doubled over the last five years
Although most (60.6%) international students were enrolled in universities in 2019/2020, the proportion studying in colleges (39.4%) has been on the rise. Over the last five years, the number of international college students more than doubled, rising from 60,318 enrolments in 2015/2016 to 153,360 in 2019/2020. The number of international university students increased from 168,606 to 235,422 over the same period.
Overall in 2019/2020—taking into consideration both Canadian and international students—63.1% of all enrolments were in universities, while 36.9% were in colleges.
The proportion of international students studying in colleges and universities varied across provinces and territories. For example, almost a third of college students in Ontario (29.9%), and more than one in five in British Columbia (23.3%), were from outside Canada.
By contrast, colleges in Saskatchewan (7.4%), Quebec (including CÉGEP—5.0%) and Newfoundland and Labrador (2.0%) had far fewer international student enrolments. In general, international student enrolments accounted for 19.3% of all students enrolled in colleges in Canada.
College enrollments by status of student in Canada and province of study, 2019/2020
University enrollments by status of student in Canada and province of study, 2019/2020
At the national level, international students represented 17.1% of total university enrolments. This proportion varied from the highest in Prince Edward Island (27.8%), Nova Scotia (26.3%) and British Columbia (24.1%) to the lowest in Alberta (11.5%).
There are a number of programs at both the federal and provincial or territorial levels that are designed to attract international students to Canada. The Canadian International Education Strategy 2019–2024 describes international students, particularly those who choose to remain in Canada, as contributing significantly to Canada's long-term economic success and competitiveness.
According to a recent Statistics Canada study, the share of first-time study permit holders for college programs grew from 28% (101,000 out of 354,500) in the 2000-to-2004 period to 34% (324,000 out of 950,300) in the 2015-to-2019 period. By comparison, the share intending to study at the bachelor's degree level, after increasing in the late 2000s, had dropped back to the level of the early 2000s by 2010 (13%) and remained fairly stable over the next decade (15% in 2019). Increasingly, students from India are enrolling at the college level. Among international students intending to study at the college level, the share of students from India grew from 4% in the 2000-to-2004 period to 67% in the 2015-to-2019 period. See "International students as a source of labour supply: The growing number of international students and their changing sociodemographic characteristics."
There have been numerous media reports about the barriers that COVID-19 travel restrictions created for international students wishing to study in Canada. In a recent Statistics Canada study, the potential financial impact of the pandemic on Canadian universities in the 2020/2021 school year was assessed based on assumptions about possible changes in international and domestic student enrollments using proxy data. See Projected Financial Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Canadian Universities for the 2020/21 Academic Year.
International college graduates led the overall growth in number of graduates in 2019
Looking at those who graduated in the 2019 calendar year, 587,151 students received a credential, such as a certificate, diploma or a degree, from a public postsecondary institution, up 4.0% from the previous year. While the majority of graduates continued to be from university programs, the increase (+22,446) was driven mostly by graduates from college programs (+19,692) which accounted for 87.7% of total growth.
International students accounted for the majority of this increase in college program graduates. At the college level there were 18,366 (+33.6%) more international student graduates, compared with 840 (+0.4%) more Canadian student graduates, than in 2018.
Overall, though international college students represented 27.7% of college graduates, they were responsible for 81.8% (18,366 out of 22,446) of growth in all graduates from Canadian colleges and universities in 2019.
Among university graduates, there was a decrease in Canadian student graduates by 903 (-0.3%), while the number of international student graduates increased by 3,675 (+7.9%).
The increase in international student graduates and decrease in Canadian student graduates changed the proportion of Canadian graduates from 82.0% in 2018 to 78.9% in 2019. Over the same period, the proportion of international student graduates grew from 18.0% to 21.1%.
Graduates in health professions will be increasingly important in the post-COVID-19 labour market
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated an already existing labour shortage in some health sector professions. According to the Job Vacancy and Wage Survey, from the second quarter of 2019 to that of 2021, the health care and social assistance sector had the largest increase in vacancies of any sector. Along with immigration of skilled workers, the Canadian postsecondary system will be a source of highly trained graduates in health and related fields to address these challenges in the post-COVID-19 labour market. The full magnitude of the shortage, and whether these combined sources will be sufficient to address it, remain to be seen.
The cohort of graduates who completed programs in the health professions and related programs in 2019, just prior to the pandemic, accounted for 12.7% of all 2019 graduates (74,277). Of these, 53.0% were college graduates, while 47.0% graduated from a university.
Graduates from health programs were predominantly Canadian students (92.5%), while international student graduates accounted for 7.5%. Of the 5,553 international student graduates in health programs, more than two-thirds (78.8%) graduated from college programs. For Canadian students, the proportion of university (49.2%) and college (50.8%) graduates was roughly equal.
Women accounted for 82% of health program graduates, while 18% were men. Women graduates outnumbered men in this field of study at both universities (79.4%) and colleges (84.4%).
Graduates from registered nursing, nursing administration, nursing research and clinical nursing programs represented the largest (19,770) sub-group for both colleges and universities from all health program graduates, with 28.6% and 71.4%, respectively.
Meanwhile, a total of 213,144 students were enrolled in health programs in the 2019/2020 academic year, including 85,212 in nursing programs. Although some students may not have continued or completed their programs in subsequent years for a variety of reasons, these enrolments point to a potential labour supply to fill positions in the health care sector in the years to come.
Although it is too early to fully understand how postsecondary students and graduates will be impacted by the pandemic, future Postsecondary Student Information System cycles will allow more in-depth exploration of the effect of the COVID-19 lockdowns and health restrictions on enrolments and graduates.
Graduates from Canadian universities and colleges, 2018 and 2019
Note to readers
Administrative data on Canadian postsecondary institution enrolments and graduates are obtained from public colleges and universities using the Postsecondary Student Information System. The counts exclude students enrolled in apprenticeship programs. Enrolment and graduate counts for certain institutions are preliminary or based on estimates.
The numbers of enrolments presented are not meant to represent a complete enumeration of all students at postsecondary institutions during the 2019/2020 academic year. Rather, they are based on students enrolled in postsecondary institutions at the time of the fall snapshot date, that is, a single date chosen by the institution that falls between September 30 and December 1. Therefore, students who are not enrolled during this period are excluded. This has a greater impact on colleges as they have a continuous intake of students and offer shorter programs.
Enrolments are based on program counts and not on student counts. If a student is enrolled in more than one program as of the snapshot date, all of their programs are included in the count.
Graduate data are published based on the calendar year.
Some programs at the bachelor level and above can be offered by colleges.
All numbers, including the totals, have been rounded; therefore, sums of the values may not match the total counts. Percentage changes were calculated using rounded values. The data are subject to annual revisions. These revisions are applied to include new data submissions from 2004, any updates to classification standards and changes in concepts.
The interactive data visualization tool "Postsecondary program enrolments and graduates: Interactive tool" is available on the Statistics Canada website.

By using HTTP adapters, you can send GET or POST HTTP requests and retrieve data from the response headers and body. HTTP adapters work with RESTful and SOAP-based services, and can read structured HTTP sources such as RSS feeds.
The adapter is configured with XML to define the adapter properties and procedures.
Optionally, it is also possible to use XSL to filter received records and fields.
The XML file contains settings and metadata.
Set the protocol to HTTP or HTTPS.
Set the HTTP domain to the domain part of HTTP URL.
xsi:type: Mandatory. The value of this attribute must be http:HTTPConnectionPolicyType.
cookiePolicy: Optional. This attribute sets how the HTTP adapter handles cookies that arrive from the back-end application. The following values are valid.
For more information about these values, see the Apache HTTP components page.
maxRedirects: Optional. The maximum number of redirects that the HTTP adapter can follow. This attribute is useful when the back-end application sends circular redirects as a result of some error, such as authentication failures. If this attribute is set to 0, the adapter does not attempt to follow redirects at all, and the HTTP 302 response is returned to the user. The default value is 10.
protocol: Optional. The URL protocol to use. The following values are valid: http (default), https.
domain: Mandatory. The host address.
sslCertificateAlias: Optional for regular HTTP authentication and simple SSL authentication. Mandatory for mutual SSL authentication. The alias of the adapter private SSL key, which is used by the HTTP adapter key manager to access the correct SSL certificate in the keystore. For more information about the keystore setup process, see Using SSL in HTTP adapters tutorial.
sslCertificatePassword: Optional for regular HTTP authentication and simple SSL authentication. Mandatory for mutual SSL authentication. The password of the adapter private SSL key, which is used by the HTTP adapter key manager to access the correct SSL certificate in the keystore. For more information about the keystore setup process, see Using SSL in HTTP adapters tutorial.
proxy: Optional. The proxy element specifies the details of the proxy server to use when accessing the back-end application. The proxy details must include the protocol domain and port. If the proxy requires authentication, add a nested authentication element inside proxy. This element has the same structure as the one used to describe the authentication protocol of the adapter. The following example shows a proxy that requires basic authentication and uses a server identity.
maxConcurrentConnectionsPerNode: Optional. Defines the maximum number of concurrent connections, which the MobileFirst Server can open to the back end. Mobile Foundation does not limit the incoming service requests from applications. This limits only the number of concurrent HTTP connections to the back-end service.
The default number of concurrent HTTP connections is 50. You can modify this number based on the expected concurrent requests to the adapter and the maximum requests allowed on the back-end service. You can also configure the back-end service to limit the number of concurrent incoming requests.
Consider a two-node system, where the expected load on the system is 100 concurrent requests and the back-end service can support up to 80 concurrent requests. You can set maxConcurrentConnectionsPerNode to 40. This setting ensures that no more than 80 concurrent requests are made to the back-end service.
If you increase the value, the back-end application needs more memory. To avoid memory issues, do not to set this value too high. Instead, estimate the average and peak number of transactions per second, and evaluate their average duration. Then, calculate the number of required concurrent connections as indicated in this example, and add a 5-10% margin. Then, monitor your back end, and adjust this value as required, to ensure that your back-end application can process all incoming requests.
When you deploy adapters to a cluster, set the value of this attribute to the maximum required load divided by the number of cluster members.
connectionTimeoutInMilliseconds: Optional. The timeout in milliseconds until a connection to the back-end can be established. Setting this timeout does not ensure that a timeout exception occurs after a specific time elapses after the invocation of the HTTP request. If you pass a different value for this parameter in the invokeHTTP() function, you can override the value that is defined here.
socketTimeoutInMilliseconds: Optional. The timeout in milliseconds between two consecutive packets, starting from the connection packet. Setting this timeout does not ensure that a timeout exception occurs after a specific time elapses after the invocation of the HTTP request. If you pass a different value for the socketTimeoutInMilliseconds parameter in the invokeHttp() function, you can override the value that is defined here.
A service URL is used for procedure invocations. Some parts of the URL are constant; for example, http://example.com/.
Other parts of the URL can be parameterized; that is, substituted at run time by parameter values that are provided to the procedure.
The following URL parts can be parameterized.
To call an HTTP request, use the MFP.Server.invokeHttp method.
See the API Reference for "MFP.Server.invokeHttp" in the user documentation for a complete list of options.
You can also apply XSL transformation to the received data, for example to filter the data.
You can use the MFP.Server.invokeHttp API method to create a SOAP envelope.
The MFP.Server.invokeHttp(options) method is then used to call a request for a SOAP service.

ANALYSIS OF INHALED GLUCOCORTICOSTEROIDS - EPIMERIC BUDESONIDE AND
FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE IN HUMAN PLASMA BY LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE CHEMICAL IONIZATION TANDEM MASS SPECTROMETRY
(LC/APCI/MS/MS).
YUAN N (Benny) Lia ,BRUCE TATTAM a, KENNETH. F. BROWNa AND JOHN. P. SEALE b a. Department of Pharmacy, University of Sydney, NSW 2006 Australia b. Department of Pharmacology, University of Sydney, NSW 2006 Australia Budesonide and Fluticasone Propionate are two of the leading drugs used in the treatment of asthma andrhinitis, both are topically applied (eg as nasal spray or as an inhalation), with the percentage of thepopulation experiencing asthma or asthma like symptoms these two drugs are excellent aids in theirtherapy's. The clinical data on the patient samples and the method development will be discussed.
API mass spectrometry is the method of choice for glucocorticosteroids, in particular AtmosphericPressure Chemical Ionization (APCI) has high sensitivity for this class of compounds, with this we havedeveloped a highly sensitive and selective quantitative assay to determine plasma concentrations fromhealthy subjects after inhalation of epimeric budesonide (BUD) or fluticasone propionate (FP),respectively. Previous analysis of BUD in thermospray1 or APCI/LCMS2 have been used but had minorproblems. Plasma concentrations were quantified in 144 samples using liquid chromatographyatmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry(LC/APCI/MS/MS). The drugs were isolated from human plasma using a C18 solid phase extractioncartridges BUD was acylated with a mixture of 12.5% acetic anhydride and 12.5% triethylamine inacetonitrile to form the 21- derivatives following the solid -phase extraction. The FP did not have to bederivatised and did not undergo that part of the protocol. Deuterium-labelled budesonide acetate wassynthesised and used as the internal standard for both compounds.
The LC method used is able to separate the 22R & 22S epimers of BUD, using 2.1mm ODS column and asimple isocratic elution the sample analysis time is <15min.
Other assays such as radioimmunoassay (RAI) proved to be good but had suffered poor precision( up to 25% CV). RAI for FP is also subject to nonspecific interference and varying cross -reactivity withdrug metabolites and other unrelated compounds, although the antibodies used in the RIA were claimedto be highly specific3.
The assay was linear over the ranges 0.05 -10 ng/ml for BUD and 0.02 - 10 ng/ml for FP, respectively.
The interassay and intraassay relative standard deviations were <14.3% in the assay concentration range.
The structures of BUD and FP are shown below.

"in a book on Gu Ji saw." Su Hanshan said casually.
Could he even said that my life will know when you? In my eyes, he was just a child?
"Alchemist Association of Gu Ji? Such a Gu Ji wanted to see, but required an extremely high status first, your Pill who is your teacher?" The old man asked.
Su Hanshan secretly rolled Bai's Eyes, This fellow really talkative, Where's Teacher, I have to look for a fake?
"Name a price." Su Hanshan.
"What do you mean?" The old man was stunned, He is still waiting for him to tell Su Hanshan, Su Hanshan's Pill who is your teacher?
However, very soon, this old man had reacted quickly, knew that Su Hanshan was unwilling to answer.
Su Hanshan didn't say anything, his figure flashed, he directly headed upwards.
"What are you doing?" The old man was stunned.
"I have gained, the journey was, I obtained a lot of herbs, it's enough, I'm very satisfied." Su Hanshan's mouth lifted into a smile.
Su Hanshan's figure suddenly stopped.
"How many?" The old man curled his lips with disdain.
The old man's pupils shrank, He found it difficult to believe, Su Hanshan this item into a Spirit Realm, how to see through his cultivation?
More importantly, Spirit Body Realm limit, Su Hanshan, how did you know?
The old man wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Su Hanshan.
When he spoke like this, Su Hanshan's mouth while the smile on his face became even stronger.
Stepped into the Void God Realm experts of the matter, quite valuable, The key point was that this old man was trustworthy, Otherwise, he wouldn't agree to Spirit Crystal, but didn't agree to this.
Su Hanshan let out a cold snort, then prepared to leave.
The old man quickly chased over, stood in front of Su Hanshan.
The old man frowned, not understanding the meaning of Su Hanshan.
But Su Hanshan clearly did not intend to be the five hundred thousand Spirit Crystal, he would have to this person.
"What's your name?" The old man asked.
"Su Hanshan, Heavenly Mountain Pavilion Outer Sect Disciple." Su Hanshan.
Su Hanshan nodded, Since Lotus would be temporarily in his hands, but he wasn't afraid of this old man's back.
"Now can you tell me, the Nine Hearts Lotus, where is he?" Su Hanshan asked.
Su Hanshan paused, then his entire body hairs to stand on end.
Without a word, he used his fastest speed, he rushed towards them.
"What, scared now?" The old man with a smile.
"Third Grade Spirit Beast, Yan Shark?" Su Hanshan once again confirmed.
Ps, brothers, please help to value!

Q: Why is there an EtherType for SNMP? Today I was reading through some documentation about the fundamentals of networks (IP, Ethernet, MPLS, ...). And while looking at the Ethernet Types that can be used in the Ethernet Frame I saw there was an Ethertype for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)(0x814C). But as I could remember, SNMP is an application protocol running over UDP. So why is there an EtherType for?

A: The SNMP EtherType (SNMP over Ethernet) is meant for devices that don't have support above Layer 2 of the OSI Model. For more information have a read of RFC 1089:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1089.txt

A: SNMP can run over TCP as well.
There is a nice comparison of using SNMP over both protocols here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3565975/why-is-snmp-usually-run-over-udp-and-not-tcp-ip

Business Group Calls For Privacy Law
Twelve large U.S. corporations urged Congress to pass a comprehensive consumer-privacy law. The companies cited ing rising consumer concerns that Internet safety is eroding.
Google, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, eBay, Eli Lilly & Co., Procter & Gamble, etc, say they want "a simplified, uniform but flexible legal framework" that supports "the free flow of information and commerce, while providing protection for consumers from increasing incidents of identify theft, fraud and intrusions of privacy."
The group issued a statement as members of the newly formed Consumer Privacy Legislative Forum at a U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing on federal privacy legislation.
Members of the group stressed that the growing number of state privacy and industry specific laws that govern data privacy and security around the web are cumbersome and rising consumer concerns.
"Legislation should provide protection for consumers from inappropriate collection and misuse of their personal information and also enable legitimate businesses to use information to promote economic and social value.", say the group statement.
Members of U.S. Congress supported the notion of comprehensive legislation.
The Forum said it is concerned that declining consumer trust in the Internet threatens economic growth and innovation online. It cited a nationwide survey by the Cyber Security Industry Alliance released in May showing 94% of respondents consider identity theft a serious problem and only 24% feel businesses are placing the right emphasis on protecting their information.

Refuge of the hotel room, CNN anchors murmuring banalities, bathroom shower spitting as your wife washes, your son charging about.

Ellenberg, a mathematician and writer, explains how math plays into our daily lives without our even knowing it. Each chapter starts with a subject that seems fairly straightforward—electoral politics, say, or the Massachusetts lottery—and then uses it as a jumping-off point to talk about the math involved.
The book's larger point is that, as Ellenberg writes, "to do mathematics is to be, at once, touched by fire and bound by reason".
It's not just theoretica. Nick is trying to right a scientific wrong by getting people to fully appreciate the role that energy plays in all living things. He argues that we can only understand how life began, and how living things got so complex, by understanding how energy works.

Looking out for No. 2: Dogs sniff out fecal pollution at Jersey Shore

FAIR HAVEN -- Some specially trained dogs are helping humans curb themselves.
A company that has trained dogs to recognize the smell of human fecal bacteria has been sniffing out sources of water pollution nationwide, discovering broken sewer pipes, leaking septic tanks and illegal sewage discharges, to the delight of environmental groups and government agencies.
Conventional water sampling tests take 24 hours at a laboratory, and often must be duplicated to ensure their accuracy. Testing of sewer systems with dye or smoke takes days and is costly. But the dogs give an instant yes-or-no indication as to whether a particular location is contaminated with the bacteria.
Using dogs rescued from shelters and specially trained to detect human waste in the same way other dogs are trained to sniff out drugs or explosives, the dogs of Otisfield, Maine-based Environmental Canine Services are always looking out for No. 2.
"I could make a lot of jokes about what kind of job this is, but I won't," said Scott Reynolds, who runs the company with his wife, Karen. "They alert us to the presence of human-specific bacteria, E. coli, poop, whatever you want to call it."
Human fecal contamination is a serious environmental problem that can cause illnesses including intestinal problems; hepatitis; respiratory infections; and ear, nose, and throat problems. Contamination from the E. coli bacterium, naturally occurring in human intestines, becomes dangerous if it is present in the environment in high enough concentrations. It is the leading cause of beach and waterway closures in the U.S., and tracking down the source of such pollution is a high priority for local and state governments.
One recent day, two of the company's dogs sniffed the edges of a pond near the New Jersey shore in Fair Haven, where polluted runoff was helping to choke the pond with thick algae that covered it with a green scum. Environmental groups including Clean Ocean Action, along with the local government, hired the company to determine whether any sewage was making its way into the pond, which feeds into the nearby Navesink River, a waterway having its own problems with bacterial contamination.
Sable, a 10-year-old German shepherd-husky mix Reynolds rescued from a shelter, and Remi, a 3-year-old black Lab mix they found as a stray, were put to work. They sniffed the shoreline and found nothing amiss.
"Just as important as what you find is what you don't find," Karen Reynolds said.
The couple then took the dogs to a nearby manhole, which town workers had opened, to demonstrate what the dogs do when they smell human waste. Sable is trained to bark when he smells it; Remi is trained to sit still, and that's precisely what they did as soon as they sniffed the manhole.
Their rewards: a treat for Remi and some play time with a tennis ball for Sable.
The dogs are trained to ignore fecal bacteria from animals, and customers often try to trick them (unsuccessfully) during evaluations of the company. Waterway contamination from bird, wild animal and pet waste is also a significant source of water pollution.
Rick Haley, a water quality analyst with the Skagit County, Washington, public works department, was among them. He had the dogs sniff samples of animal waste, all of which they ignored until they got to one containing human bacteria, which they flagged.
Once the dogs went to work there, they helped authorities find 15 to 20 leaking septic tanks that were polluting waterways, including one in Bayview State Park that routinely had to be closed to swimming when bacteria levels got high.
After the dogs found an upstream source of sewage from a faulty septic tank, repairs were made, and the beach saw much fewer closures, Haley said.
The company has done work in 15 states, with bases in Otisfield; Lansing, Michigan; and Santa Rosa, California.
Peg Kohring, a director of The Conservation Fund in Sawyer, Michigan, has hired the dogs three times in the past five years to track down pollution making its way into Lake Michigan.
"We had quite a few beach closings because of high E. coli, and we did extensive water testing, but you don't know exactly where the problem is," she said. "With the dogs we're able to go right to the source. They found a homeowner whose house was only half connected to the septic system; the other half was washing directly out into a creek. We found 30 homeowners who had no idea where their sewage was going."
The dogs also helped the city of Bridgman, Michigan, pinpoint where a sewer pipe had broken.


Will Anna Hazare be 21st Century Gandhi?
Gandhi fought for India's independence, then considered, most important and many thought it will not last but Mahatma Gandhi was considered apostle of non violence and is known as such not only in India but throughout the colonies of British, Portugal and France, in South East Asia and Africa. Gandhi is remembered after 60 years, as pioneer of passive resistance and non violence. Even US President Barack Obama has Gandhi's photo in his office. Ofcourse in India, then home of non-violence, Gandhi's photos and statues are everywhere. In India, Gandhi's lasting contribution was also boycott of British manufactured cotton textiles and clothes which led to industrialization of India and employment to millions of workers in Indian factories and handicrafts that was symbolized by the spinning wheel or Charkha, India benefitted a lot from Gandhi's encouragement to Indian Industry and Indian handicrafts to this day. In contrast in Britain tens of thousands of workers, particularly in Lankashire became unemployed, most of them British women workers who were paid less wages for the same work than their men counterparts for the same work.
These are the lasting contributions of Gandhi the Mahatma to India and the world in the 20th century. Now about the likelihood of Anna Hazare becoming 21st century Gandhi or Mahatma, especially for India, if he succeeds in eliminating corruption in India in all spheres, industries, income- tax, police, civil servants and politicians.
Already after for couple of days of his fast in Jantar Mantar area of Delhi adjoining Connaught place and hardly 1 km from Parliament House, more than 500 people mostly young joined Anna in his fast unto death against corruption. On 5th April, two former Chief Ministers, Chautala of Haryan and Uma Bharati of Rajasthan who tried to get some limelight and came to meet Anna Hazare were booed and 'shooed off' virtually pushed out by Anna's followers, particularly by those who had joined the fast. Sharad Pawar, a politician, now also known for Corruption was criticized and dishonoured so much that he quit from chairmanship of the organization he headed.
Watching for a week unprecedented response to Anna Hazare by millions of Indian citizens against corruption, the UPA, infact the Congress, got so worried that it virtually, after 3 days government sent for negotiations Sibal and two other with Parshant Bhushan. Government surrendered to Anna Hazare's basic demands. Anna's followers all over India felt jubilant as they had won the first battle in 2nd war of Independence, now against corruption. Wars, wether these are World Wars or for Independence of country or Independence from corruption can not be won in a day or week. The first battle against corruption launched by Anna Hazare has been won. Anna Hazare has already announced 15th August 2011 the date for winning war against corruption. If the UPA II fails to surrender or concede victory to Anna Hazare's war against corruption then it is likely that there will be no end to peaceful demonstrations all over India to demonstrate solidarity and determination to win the war against corruption for whole of India.
The second war of Independence is against nationwide, corruption, which during last seven years under UPA II touched sky because of 2G scam, corruption in CWG and appointment of Thomas as CVI. However after accepting the demand of Anna Hazare during 4 days fast and nation wide agitation, the government virtually accepted defeat and agreed to Anna Hazare's demand to pass the Lokpal bill as comprehensive as Anna's adviser Shantibhushan and other suggest by 15th August. Central government of India, to save its prestige and possible fall went half way in accepting Anna's demands. But halfway in tackling corruption is not at all acceptable just as halfway independence of India i.e. Home rule was not acceptable to Gandhiji. During 1st war of Independence, Gandhiji's non-violent agitation continued till 15th August 1947 when India got complete independence.
It is unprecedented that Lokpal bill remained untouched during last 42 years and no attempt was made to consider it or pass it. Out of 42 years Congress was in power for 37 years and only for 5 years BJP was in power, so it is mainly the Congress and now UPA who were sleeping over it. Even during 7 years when UPA II has been in power it did not think of taking into consideration, as UPA II was not serious about eliminating or even reducing corruption.
That is why the government did not ractify U N pact against graft during last six years though India signed UN convention against graft in 2005. During last six years India's PM Manmohan Singh visited USA almost six times. If Indian government was serious, it could ratify the UN pact against graft in a year or two. But it is understood that Department of Personnel and training steadfastly opposed it. But why the government if convinced and serious about ending corruption, did not overrule DOPT and ratify it. Had the government ratified, it could get the black money of lakhs of crores in foreign banks and also take action against those who had cheated India to evade tax. As the government was not ready to disclose the names in public, despite repeated demand by opposition, in particular, as many politicians including ministers and high officials of government were involved. Government of India should have ratified the UN pact against graft immediately and got lakhs of crores of people's money back.
"I have started the fight and I will not back off. The country has had enough. Just count the number of scams and the amount of money involved in it. The scamsters are not going to jail. The Lokpal Bill will send them to jail and they will be punished for their crimes. The government wants to keep everything secret." After giving some details about governments negligence and failure in tracking corruption, Anna Hazare announced: "I am ready to sacrifice my life for this bill". But neither people of India who had supported the nation-wide agitation for 4 days, nor the government of India could afford that Anna to become bed ridden, so all wished that Anna should live long. Here are some significant views expressed by Anna on government officials, particulars, ministers and also on Gandhiji.
"The agitation is for the people of this country. It will get rid the nation of corrupt leaders. I am not associated with anybody. I am a follower of Gandhiji and he would not have liked today's situation in the country. The corrupt leaders and officers are more dangerous than terrorists. People ask me being a Gandhian how could you advocate hanging corrupt people. My answer is that today times have changed. You need Shivaji's sward to enface Gandhian principles." About the corrupt leaders and officers Anna says what is apparently correct that "when they themselves are corrupt how strong will the Lokpal bill be that they pass. I am not against any government. I only want a corruption free nation". Anna Hazare finally in the interview warns the government by giving example of his agitations in Maharashtra: "My earlier agitations have caused fall of two Maharashtra governments. I do not want the government at the centre to fall. But if they continue to be intoxicated by power, the public will teach them a lesson." His interview, as above, is both an advice to the government and a warning. To the people of India Anna Hazare, 21st century Gandhi, has advised that they should be ready for long struggle with determination to win the second war of Independence against corruption in their nation. People should ignore dissenting remarks by Kapil Sibal and even Advani or any politician or political party and, if need be, carry on nation-wide agitation till they make India shine as absolutely free from corruption.

Scripts and systems keep client retention front and center at Neatbeat in Louisville, Kentucky, but at the heart of the salon are PIP talks.
PIP, or "Positively Impacting People," talks follow a schedule just like everything else in the salon. Every stylist must write one PIP note per week to the guest of their choice.
The notes are made from construction paper, glitter, glue and other materials the salon supplies, and can be anything from a personal note to an inspirational quote.
The artists typically get a text or call from the guest they sent the PIP to, or the guest mentions it on her next visit. It's a small gesture that makes a big impact.
"Getting the commitment from the team to discipline themselves to do this has been the coolest thing in the world," Heather Yurko, owner, says.
Clients will also find little love notes stuffed into the caps of the salon's top-selling retail products.
"When they open the product, a note will fall out that says something liked 'you're valued and special,'" she says.
And the Guest Happiness Team (front desk) has their own PIP talks.
"They make five per day with a quote on each note, and then tape them to car windows in our parking lot," Yurko says.
Yurko has many stories like this one related to the PIP talks and firmly believes it's their responsibility as hair stylists to go the extra mile to love the clients who sit in their chairs.
"So much education is technical," she says. "I don't want to discount that, but I strive to shed light on the business we're in and ask what else my staff is bringing to the table.
Neatbeat guests also get regular mood boosters via social media. The salon highlights its clients on Facebook regularly.
"It doesn't matter what the occasion is—getting married, a kid winning a softball tournament—it means something to them when we make them feel significant," Yurko says.
Neatbeat assistants are trained to listen to conversations in the salon so they can note any big moments in a client's life on the salon calendar. Then, the client's stylist is responsible for a Facebook post, note or phone call to acknowledge it.
"Those personal added touches make the biggest difference in retaining clients," Yurko says.


Werder Bremen midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic underlined his reputation as one of the league's long-range kings with two stunning moments of inspiration in Matchday 25's 3-0 win against RB Leipzig.

The Austria international opened the scoring with a sweetly struck volley into the bottom corner, before laying on another for Florian Grillitsch with a superb invention, playing a short free-kick to fox the Leipzig defence and allowing his team-mate to convert.
Florian Kainz then added a late flourish to help Junuzovic and Co. climb to 13th in the league table.
Junuzovic's goal was only his second of the season, the other coming on 15 October in 2-1 win over Leverkusen.Seven of his 17 Bundesliga goals have come from outside the penalty area.The 29-year-old wasn't afraid to put in a shift - he clocked a game-high 11.98km.

Run by Jean François Clouet, Andre Clouet is a small producer in the Montagne de Reims in Champagne specializing in Pinot Noir-dominant cuvees. Some of the wines for this "Cuvee 1911" were fermented in Sauternes barrels originally used to make Ch. Daisy Daene. Jean François won the original barrels in a poker game and he liked the result so much he has continued to buy them.
This 12% alcohol, 100% Pinot Noir estate-bottled cuvee comes from the grand cru village of Bouzy. The blend is 50% from the 1996 vintage, 25% from 1995, and 25% from 1997. Some of the component wines were fermented in used Sauternes barrels and some were aged in older oak barrels. The wine was laid down in early 1998 and disgorged on 06/05/2014 – so it has 16 years on the lees. Gold-straw in color, bright and clear and fully sparkling; dry, medium-plus bodied with a rich texture, still fresh acidity, and scant phenolics. This is a stunningly good, beautifully developed sparkler with depth and richness to go with a perfectly integrated mix of mineral, toast, and developed citrus-tree-red fruit. Lovely, delicious, satisfying. BearScore: 98+.


The Super Bowl is filled with plenty of compelling matchups on the field.
How much Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams' pass rush can disrupt Tom Brady and whether the New England Patriots defensive front can contain Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson will play significant roles in the outcome of the game.
But the most interesting matchup of the Super Bowl is on the sidelines. Courtesy of three straight Super Bowl appearances after already having won four, Bill Belichick has progressed from arguably the best coach of all time to the no-brainer greatest ever in the minds of many.
Walking the Rams sideline is 33-year-old wunderkind Sean McVay, who's ushered in a new era of innovative offensive schemes and calculated aggression that seemingly every team in need of a new head coach is attempting to emulate.
It's the GOAT vs. the prodigy, a matchup that could signal the changing of the guard or the continued dominance of a juggernaut.
It's also a contest of respected rivals who have taken time to wish each other well and talk shop.
McVay told Peter King's "Football Morning in America" that he got to know Belichick at the pre-draft scouting combine last year and that Belichick has been in regular communication with him throughout the season.
It's a shocking revelation on a couple of fronts.
Any time Belichick's personality is exposed, it's a surprise. Aside from the occasional expression of emotion like his infamous "No Days Off!" chant after Super Bowl LI, the Patriots coach maintains his status as the NFL's resident stone-faced curmudgeon with a remarkable level of consistency and precision.
Even more surprising is the idea that Belichick would talk football with any of his rivals, much less one that looked like a potential Super Bowl opponent.
But football is like any other profession on this level. Yes, it's highly competitive. But it's also a field where the best continue to strive to learn and innovate. And that's done by building relationships and learning from peers and rivals.
McVay didn't divulge if there was actual football strategy being discussed in those text interactions. It's doubtful either coach would have tipped his hand much about what may be coming in a big game.
But the idea that Belichick has warmed up to McVay feeds the narrative that he's the next greatest thing on the coaching front.
It also adds a fascinating new wrinkle to how things will play out on the sidelines come Sunday.

Q: How to avoid backtesting exits on dayclose? I try to avoid the day close in forex. The Time window is about 16.30-18.00GMT-4. The Broker has spikes in this time window. Tradingview backtesting gives different results and i would like to avoid any position (entry or exit) during this time.
The entries work fine but i struggle with the exit. If an entry happens around 16.00 the exitFilter doesn't work. If the entry happens at 16.45 it works.
It seems the strategy.exit() is connected to the entry signal.
my code looks like this:
useClose = input.bool(title='usdExitTargets', defval=true)

timezoneExitCheck = input.bool(title='TimezoneExit On',defval=true)
timezoneExit = input.session(title='TimezoneExit', defval='1800-1655', tooltip='Which timezone to Exit trade')
days = input.string(title='Days To Trade', defval='1234567')

inSessionExit(sess) =>
    na(time(timeframe.period, sess + ':' + days)) == false

exitFilter = inSessionExit(timezoneExit)

if useClose and timezoneExitCheck ? exitFilter : na(na)
    strategy.exit("out", loss=lossinput, profit=profitinput)

I don't ML hunt Iron Cowboy, but I've seen a few ML'ers out in the sticks when I late season bow hunt. Depending on the year, the deer will start working their way towards their herding area if snow starts piling up. If they have food, they don't move or congregate too much. They can be weary too...they've been chased and shot at so they are a little skiddish.
However, remember that the does that do not get bred during the regular rut will come back into their estrous cycles 28 days after their first cycle. Our group of rifle hunters had many bucks following does this past weekend. I would say that it will be likely that the rut will peak this week some time....add 28 days to say the 12 or 13 of November and make that the days you hunt. A couple of the largest racks I've seen (excluding those at Cabelas) were of bucks shot in MN with a muzzleloader. With less pressure and less does to be bred, the big bucks 'troll' alot more and therefore are more likely to expose themselves.
I've not taken a late season buck with my bow, but I have seen some bruisers. Good luck to you.

Fort Smith, AR, June 25, 2018 — Four Fort Smith Public Schools (FSPS) 'beat the odds' in growth performance according to researchers at the Office of Education Policy (OEP) at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
In the introduction of their report researchers noted, "We choose to focus on student growth for these OEP awards because we think it is a better reflection than proficiency rates of how the school is impacting students. Growth is calculated at the student level, and essentially reflects how much a student improved his or her score from the prior year compared to what was predicted based on prior achievement history."
Sutton and Beard Elementary Schools earned Top 10 rankings in High Poverty Elementary Schools in Arkansas for ACT Aspire ELA Growth scores. These schools also ranked third and fourth respectively in the Northwest Arkansas region.
Darby Junior High School is recognized in the Top 10 Overall of High Poverty Middle Schools in Arkansas for their growth performance on the ACT Aspire and the school earned seventh of the Top 10 Arkansas rankings for growth in performance on the ACT Aspire in Math and 10th in ELA Growth. In the Northwest Arkansas Region, Darby was fourth in the Top Five Schools in Math and fourth in ELA Growth as well.
Northside High School earned a spot in the Top 10 High Poverty Schools in Arkansas based on the ACT Aspire Math Growth, and a number three spot on the top five in Northwest Arkansas. Northside High School Principal Dr. Keri Rathbun said, "We are very proud of the hard work of our students and staff and excited to receive this recognition. We will continue our efforts to increase student achievement in the upcoming school year and beyond."
Dr. Ginni McDonald, FSPS Director of Secondary Education is also proud of these schools and this data. She said, "This is evidence that the District's initiatives and support are moving student achievement in the right direction. They are on an upward trajectory. They are performing better than what is expected." They are simply 'Beating the Odds' as this report suggests, said
"Beating the Odds: High Growth Schools Based on the ACT Aspire Examinations serving Low Income Communities" compares 2016 and 2017 ACT Aspire academic assessment scores and provides summaries and access of this and two other growth awards at www.OfficeforEdPolicy.com.
In the OEP report on Arkansas Middle Schools, Chaffin Junior High School earned Top 20 Overall placement based on Math and ELA ACT Aspire Growth.
FSPS Superintendent Dr. Doug Brubaker discussed the importance of both sets of recognitions. He said, "We know that our teachers make a positive and lasting difference in the lives of kids every day. These results illustrate how their investments of time, effort, and energy are paying dividends in the form of higher student achievement."
The mission of the Office for Education Policy is to examine educational issues through the lens of academic research and disseminate findings to educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders around Arkansas. OEP annually highlights excellent schools around the state with
Outstanding Educational Performance Awards. This year the OEP Awards highlight schools in Arkansas based on student growth on the ACT Aspire exams in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA). OEP stated that this is a departure from prior awards, which were based on student proficiency.

Gen Con 2016 has come and gone, boasting record setting event tickets, an entire hall added to the expo floor, and no shortage of interesting games to check out. Curiously, unique attendance for this year actually dipped by a few hundred compared to last year while the number of 4-day badges rose. Basically it means that this year's numbers were statistically the same as last year but more people were opting to go multiple days.
Gen Con is always a chaotic whirlwind of gaming festivities. It's no exaggeration that you can't turn around most of the time without running into people selling games, demoing games, talking about games, playing games, or even cosplaying as people from games. Gen Con is the Mecca of board game exhibitions in North America, a veritable 100+ hours of nonstop events, hangouts, and general gaming revelry. Yet no matter what, you never get to see everything (or everyone) that you'd like to. There simply isn't enough time in four days to get to everything. As it is the convention as a whole can be rather overwhelming at times.
That's not to say we still didn't try to get in as much as we could. Especially on the games front.
Of the many things we planned on scoping out, we each previously mentioned five key games that we wanted to see. And we're here to share our reactions to them now.
But first, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the elephants in the room known as SeaFall and Cry Havoc. While numerous titles sold out quickly this year, the small allotment of each of these two games vanished before the doors even opened Thursday morning thanks to being snatched up by press and Gen Con VIGs. Both remained up for demo the entirety of the convention, and even in lieu of being unavailable, they easily remained two of the most talked about games there.
SeaFall is the next legacy game put out by designer Rob Daviau and the first with its own unique setting. It's highly ambitious and has taken several years to develop, but based on the components (in typical Plaid Hat fashion) and what they were able to reveal on the floor, all early indications are that this will be another major hit in no time.
Similarly, Cry Havoc was the latest area control game to make waves (i.e. this year's Blood Rage), and it's shot to fandom is almost more impressive. Cry Havoc has also been a multi-year labor of love, and it's being released with all the typical shine one expects from the ever-popular Portal Games. What makes it stand out, though, is that Cry Havoc is the primary brainchild of up-and-coming designer Grant Rodiek (who also did the Indie Spotlight game Hocus). Seemingly coming out of nowhere, Cry Havoc took many people by surprise in the weeks before Gen Con, and it's on track to do very well upon release.
Both of these games may have sold out, but they will be released in the very near future. So expect to hear more about them in great detail.
The nice thing about them being unavailable, however, is that this opened up the opportunity for people to check out many of the excellent other games on display. To that end, let's get to our Must See Games and if they lived up to our interest in them.
Colony is the kind of game I'm trying to build up more of in our collection. It's billed as the third title in Bezier's city-building trilogy alongside Suburbia and Castles of Mad King Ludwig. And I'm quite alright with that. These are a genre that myself, Erin, and many of our friends all particularly enjoy. Both Suburbia and Castles are well-liked here, and so I'm really curious to see what the next iteration from Bezier is.
Although Bezier announced both Ultimate Aliens and Ultimate Werewolf Legacy at the convention, and their trivia game America was their Gen Con release, demos of Colony were quite visible. During my interview with designer and company owner Ted Alspach, I got a detailed overview of how the game works. Colony is a dice-as-resources card game where players are building and upgrading structures in an encampment after some worldwide calamity. Your goal is to have the best functioning colony when the game ends.
What struck me about it was the level of card interactions and combos that you can potentially chain off one another, and the number of possible card permutations is impressive. Each game only uses a handful of card types, but there are a couple dozen that come with the box, giving off a very Dominion-with-dice feeling. The game will come with suggested setups, but they're also developing a randomizer app for it. Ted was clearly excited about the game – due out at Essen – and by the time we were done, my excitement was reaffirmed.
Hard choices have to be made on how you want to proceed, and it's all done against a very thematic backdrop. I love discovering the different strategic angles in games, and this one seems to have plenty to choose from. The more I learn about IKI, the more I want to see how it functions up close and personal.
IKI is a thematic strategy game about working as shopkeepers in ancient Edo, and it seemed very interesting from my research. Yet IKI was almost the game that wasn't. Although originally brought to the US by a successful Kickstarter last year (which I missed), Gen Con was the game's first major showing. It was one of my first stops on Gen Con Thursday morning, but much to my (and the booth's) dismay, IKI hadn't arrived yet. Which meant I was starting off my Gen Con disappointed. They didn't even have one out to demo. That's how none of them they had.
Luckily, I doubled back the next day and things had resolved themselves. Turned out they had gotten them in late the previous afternoon. They were casually showing it off, though I never did see the booth with a ton of traffic at any given time in my travels. Still, I was impressed by the mural-style artwork and the decent component pieces. I liked what I saw, making it my first purchase of Friday.
I generally don't get super excited about dungeon crawling games, but now and then one comes along to make me stop and investigate. Gloomhaven is one of those games.
For most people during Gen Con, the Cephalofair booth was the place you went if you wanted to buy Stonemaier's Scythe since he wasn't on the expo floor.
Seriously, I want to say 9 of every 10 people I saw stop there were there for Scythe and not Gloomhaven.
I was part of that remaining 10%, partly because I already had Scythe, but mostly because I wanted to see the progress of Gloomhaven. I had viewed the prototype the previous Gen Con and was intrigued by this RPG-esque campaign-style game in board game form. It's a scenario-based co-op tactical game using just two cards per combat round. I found the whole thing intriguing and wanted to see where it currently stood a year later.
Alas, Gloomhaven wasn't ready in time for Gen Con, but designer Isaac Childres made the best of it by showing off bits of the proofs and a more updated prototype. The game is slotted for a fall release – though whether it'll make an appearance at Essen is up in the air at the moment. Still, based on what I was able to gather in terms of gameplay demos and progress updates from the campaign, the wait should well be worth it. Things are moving along well, and I think people will like the end result when it finally is released. I know I will.
From its inception Terraforming Mars has struck me as a very solid game of resource management and strategic planning, which is my personal wheelhouse. So, yeah, I'm quite eager to see where this one goes.
If you follow the CR closely, you'll know that I've been rambling on about this game for nearly a year, going as far back as it being one of my 2015 'Games To Check Out If I Were To Attend Essen'. Since then, as Stronghold owner Stephen Buonocore remarked at the convention, they have since improved upon the original design by upping the component quality and tightening various aspects of the game up to make it even better.
Based on what I saw of it, I would agree. I don't generally succumb to the Instabuy Effect, but Terraforming Mars is an exception. Terraforming Mars always resonated in my mind as a decent resource management game where strategy and calculated planning win out, and this held true after seeing it in action. When coupled with the physical presentation, I believe my instincts have paid off. Sadly, I wasn't able to leave the convention with a copy (it too sold out quickly), but thankfully it should be out no later than the end of September.
Star Trek has been one of those licenses that's had difficulty finding a publisher to fully encapsulate all the source material has to offer. Many have tried, but few have engaged fans of the franchise to go boldly back to it with regularity. It is my hope that Ascendancy changes that.
Remember how I talked about Star Trek being in its 50th anniversary? And how it's a shame that so many previous Star Trek games have fallen flat in terms of incorporating flavor into the game? Some games focus on just one Star Trek iteration (usually The Original Series), while others are even more generic than that. Star Trek Ascendancy takes a much broader approach to the franchise by pulling back and focusing on the larger universe and its major factions.
In this 4x game, each of exactly 3 players act as either the Federation, Klingons, or Romulans, each trying to outmaneuver one another for supremacy. In typical fashion there are numerous ways to gain a strategic upper hand, whether it's through abilities, tech upgrades, or diplomacy, but it's all done with a pleasant Star Trek tinge. You either win by taking over two other homeworlds forcefully or getting enough resources to win via culture-style victory.
I got the rundown on this early, as it was one of my major stops for the convention, and I think those who enjoy Star Trek and / or expansive games with be pleased with the macro-level detail offered. It doesn't go into as much detail on specific people or ships as the box alludes to, but it does instill that feeling of rivalries and conflict within the Star Trek mythos. The game requires about 45 min per player and the base game indeed requires three players to work. However, two additional factions (the Cardassians and Ferengi) are planned as complete expansions – meaning not only can you use them as a playable race but they'll also allow you to increase the player size of the game.
Also, should the game be well received, I was told by Gale Force Nine that they have plans for introducing the Borg down the road too as a kind of external threat, possibly adding a semi co-op aspect into the mix. So keep that in mind when this game officially debuts in a couple months.
I'm intrigued by the complete asymmetry of Vast. Each player takes on a different role in the story of a dungeon crawl – so one player is a knight, one is a dragon, one is a goblin horde, and the last is the cavern itself. I'm excited to see how this plays, and to see how different types of players gravitate toward one role or another. It's taking a very familiar genre and twisting it a bit. Also, as a big fan of the horror and mystery genres, I like the idea of the setting itself being a character – a creation with agency and a stake in the story.
This was probably the game of the con for a number of people; I saw copies floating all over the place. In person, it looks just as neat as it does over the internet. I watched a few people playing and they had fun, but I also saw some skepticism. Part of that is probably a backlash to all the buzz, but it hasn't hampered my excitement at all. I'm eager to rip the cellophane off this one.
This might be just about the only party game I ever stand a chance in. Seriously, this looks so clever and fun, and it's a great excuse to merge two of my favorite things. Admittedly, this game isn't going to be great if you don't find pleasure in searching through the pages of your favorite book…but that's not a problem for me.
I'm drooling over the art for Islebound. From what I've seen, it's a game that rewards experimentation and creating effective combinations, and provides plenty of paths to victory. It that's true, I'm in. Also, you know, there are sea monsters.
Yeah, there are sea monsters ,and I'm still drooling over the art. It looks beautiful and we bought a copy in addition to getting a quick runthrough on the show floor. I have to say while my excitement hasn't decreased at all, seeing this one in person also didn't make me gasp. I love the art, like I've said, but it looks identical to Above and Below. I worry that the similarity will make it difficult to differentiate this game from the other, even though they seem very mechanically distinct. This feeling might fade after I play it, though.
Potion Explosion caught my eye awhile ago, which isn't a surprise because it's basically designed to be eye-catching. I love that it's puzzle-y and set collection-y (and there are a lot of set collection games on offer this year). Also, I need to talk about how neat it looks with the marble components.
Ryan managed to find this one, but I didn't! Still, he snagged us a copy so I'll have to get back to you.
Hello, The Sims Board Game. Or maybe Kudos: The Board Game (does anyone remember that game?). For real, though, I love life simulation games, but I've never seen one in board game form. Not effectively, at least. I'm so curious to see how that works, though I'll admit to not knowing much about the mechanics of the game.
I could not even get close enough to see this in action. Sad faces all around.

NEW SCHOOL Presi dent and former US Sen. Bob Kerrey just couldn't help himself from applauding Barack Obama after endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton in Iowa yesterday – until he gave a left-handed compliment that almost sounded like it was cooked up in Clinton's headquarters.
"I like the fact that his name is Barack Hussein Obama, and that his father was a Muslim and that his paternal grandmother is a Muslim," Kerry told The Washington Post.
Obama brought reporters along just hours earlier as he attended church services in Iowa yesterday, hoping to dispel false Internet rumors that he is a Muslim.
Call it Hillary's alien inspiration.
The former first lady wants to take America back to the movie references of the 1990s.
"Remember that movie 'Independence Day,' where invaders were coming from outer space and the whole world was united against the invasion?" she asked at a campaign event Saturday.
In 1996, Bill Clinton mused about the movie, saying Americans could beat the aliens.


After the unprecedented cold wave "Deep Freeze", the end of Earth approaches. Asahi, a guitarist, wanders around Tokyo during an ice age.

Nevertheless, as he drifts around aimlessly, he comes across Umi; the best friend of the girl that he is seeking. To realize Asahi's dream, the two head forward in a deserted, snow-covered town, step by step.

Outback Steakhouse Wire Brush Lawsuit an…
Outback Steakhouse Wire Brush Lawsuit and Jury Verdict Prompts Nationwide Safety Change
Yarborough Applegate attorney Liam Duffy recently secured a $315,000 jury verdict on behalf of a client who required emergency surgery after ingesting a metal wire that was embedded in a grilled chicken dish from Outback Steakhouse. In a major win, the lawsuit has led to a safety change across the entire Bloomin' Brands family of restaurants, a move that will protect customers worldwide.
After eating food from Outback Steakhouse in Florence, South Carolina, our client experienced a sharp, piercing pain in her throat. The culprit: a 1-inch, thin metal wire bristle that was lodged in her esophagus. Given the dangerous proximity to vital arteries, removal of the wire required upper endoscopic surgery, with medical bills for the ordeal totaling nearly $45,000.
The Yarborough Applegate team and co-counsel from the Jennings Law Firm in Bennettsville filed the lawsuit, believing that the source of the wire was most likely a grill brush—a conclusion that was later disputed by Outback Steakhouse. During discovery, we focused on finding all previous reports of Outback Steakhouse customers being served food containing wire bristles. After several lengthy discovery battles, a judge ordered Outback Steakhouse to produce three years' worth of prior similar incidents, which revealed that our client's injury was hardly an isolated or unforeseeable occurrence.
After a week-long jury trial in Florence County, we are proud that the results not only deliver compensation to cover our client's medical bills, physical pain, and mental anguish, but protect the dining public from this well-known danger. Earlier this month, Bloomin' Brands rolled out a new, safer, wire-bristle-free grill brush to thousands of its restaurants worldwide. This includes all Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, and Bonefish Grill locations. Our client's efforts in bringing this case to trial were paramount in the corporation enacting this change.
At Yarborough Applegate, our team works diligently to protect those who have suffered personal injuries, from consumer products to car accidents. We hope to help victims move forward by delivering the results and justice they deserve. But as always, our ultimate goal is to inspire positive change and stop preventable injuries from occurring in the first place.
If you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury and need someone to fight on your behalf, contact Yarborough Applegate today.

Respect for the earth. Respect for the water. Respect for each other and other peoples' opinions - even if you may not agree with them, and their way of life. This new line of fur clothing and accessories has a story and the moral of the story is Respect Is Due.
NO new animals were farmed or harmed to create these beauties.
They were created first as a desire to give back to the brave #WaterProtectors on The Great Souix Nation from the #StandingRock reservation. In 2016-17 the YOUTH began a stand, the likes of which we have never seen in our lifetime. They stood up to the big oil company who rerouted the DAPL pipeline onto their reservation and underneath the mighty Missouri River - the primary source of drinking water for 18M people! The oil company did this against and in direct violation of the Treaty of 1861. In case you do not know this, treaties are the highest law of the land. They supercede any local, state or even federal laws. If you are not in the know about the big oil industry it will be shocking for your to discover their practices of profit over safety for the earth and people.
Pipelines leak. Pipelines leak a lot and companies have an abysmal track record of ignoring this, not cleaning up their messes and lying.
What happened at Standing Rock is nothing short of historic. Unfortunately, this story was not told truthfully in the media.
It began on April 1, 2016. Ironic that it was April Fool's Day but this is no joke considering these seven brave youth members discussed this amongst themselves. They said 'Why doesn't somebody DO something about this?' Another said, 'Nobody cares about Indian Country.' Then another said, 'Why don't WE do something?' They then went to their elders and discussed the matter with them and told them of their intentions. Their elders agreed the time had come to make a stand. They supported the youth in this effort. Being like most young people today and media savvy, they put out a call to the world for people to come and support them in a peaceful prayerful stand to protect the water, which in the Lakota language is #MniWiconi. A quite amazing thing happened. Over 10,000 people from around the world from as far away as Japan, Sweden & South America came to Stand in Peace against this pipeline.
This angered the oil company and they threw the full weight of their resources behind destroying their protests. They militarized the local police department with weapons no police department should ever have - weapons that are AGAINST GENEVA Conventions! YES, a private for-profit oil company actually used LRADS (a sound weapon), dogs, water cannons, rubber bullets and a host of other evil weaponry against PEACEFUL Water Protectors in AMERICA. It is the single most disgusting abuse of power in America I have ever witnessed.
One day in early fall the police raided the camps. They brought their military vehicles onto the sovereign territory of the Souix reservation and destroyed tipis, confiscated personal & sacred objects from the camp and arrested! a lot of people. I was watching a live video feed that day and was horrified. A few days later I was watching a live feed by Dallas Goldtooth who was driving in his vehicle and talking about this raid. As he was driving down the highway not far from camp he saw a mountain of trash dumped by the side of the road that wasn't there before. As he gets closer he stops and realizes in horror that this was all the the stuff the police had confiscated from the camp. In the mountain of 'trash' dumped by the side of the road he sees their tipis, clothing and many sacred objects - Eagle featherd pipes and prayer sticks. Imagine if you will, the police barging into your church on a Sunday morning, harrassing the parissioners, arresting them for practicing their reliigious rights and then destroying the church and confiscating the crosses, chalices, the icons, the statues of Jesus & the Blessed Virgin Mary. Now if this is not disgusting enough, imagine finding those sacred objects dumped along the side of the road destroyed, uninated & deficated on, just to make sure you got the message that THEY are more powerful than you. This is what happened at #StandingRock that day.
I was so horrified by what I witnessed, my brain started to think of what I could do to help - to show my support against these egregious and illegal acts and maybe return something the the first people of our nation. What began as realizing a long-time wish of creating clothing and accessories with leather turned out in very short order into what you see here . . . the line of RESPECT IS DUE. I never intended to work with fur or enter into a full blown apprenticeship in the fur trade. But this is exactly what happened when I began to look for the leather I wanted. I not only found the leather, I found out that the fur trade has indeed an enourmous number of practices that are hugely disrespectful to the animals- and so I also ended up having materials coming to me from many directions as I shared the story of Standing Rock and what had & still is happening there.
I want to share just one more thing with you . . . .
In Native & First people's culture around the world part of their teachings are not only about respect for the land, Mother Earth who provides everything we need, but also for each of the animals. They believe that every animal has a lesson for us, for humanity. These lessons are called 'Medicine'. If we observe the ways of the animals, we will learn very important lessons about how to live our own lives.
These lessons and this Medicine has literally changed my life for the better more than any other single thing I have ever done. What started as a way to give back to the brave Natives of #StandingRock in some small way what was lost but making a special gift for every one I knew who stood up and took a Stand for what is right and honorable, became an ever greater personal blessing and responsibility for myself to share this story and this Medicine with a wider audience outside of Indian country. I have come to realize this is a huge opportunity for a teaching moment in history. It is my way of giving back. Giving back and honoring the sacred Native ways of the eagle, the otter, the fox, linx, bobcat, rabbit, beaver, Jamie Sams for her contribution to the world, the youth from Stand Rock and those who came to stand with them and most importantly, the water.
I do not have endless supplies of material to work with to create these clothing and accessories.
