Shatter's Legal Services Bill spells doom for the young Junior Bar and protects the Elites to the detriment of the Citizen.
I have spent some time investigating the effects of the proposed changes in legislation by Minister Shatter and discussed same with several members of the Irish Bar. It was only after speaking with a young junior barrister that I realised the full impact of what will in fact take place. The article that follows has been written by a young female barrister and gives an insider's view of what the reality of the changes will mean in practice. It is clear to me that Alan Shatter certainly did not have the interests of the Irish Citizen at heart when he set about drafting his proposed reforms. While those that know me are well aware on my views on the Troika and their suspicious agenda, I feel that the implementation of the proposed reforms will undermine the practice of law in this country to the detriment of the citizen and should be opposed by all right thinking citizens before it is too late. Beware of the Elites and their hunger for power and control of the citizen. Don't say you haven't been warned !
The Legal Services Regulation Bill[1]
The Irish legal profession has always relied on the essential requirement of being a completely independent profession, the new Legal Services Bill completely undermines that notion. Indeed it would seem that it is Minister Shatter's personal agenda which is at the core of this new bill. An agenda which undermines the core of the Irish Bar; independence. The Bill comes about as a requirement under the EU/IMF bailout and is said to be a necessity in the profession. While it is acceded that some reform in the area of legal services is both needed and welcomed, both by the Bar Council and indeed the Law Society, the Bill in its proposed form goes far beyond the proposals presented both by the Legal Costs Working Group and the Competition Authority as well as going completely beyond and even against international principles in regulating the legal profession.
The public are being wrongly informed that this Bill will reduce costs for the consumer when in fact, the opposite will occur. The 'independent referral bar' is an equal opportunity workplace, based in the law library where barristers are sole traders. If the idea of barristers forming partnerships with other barristers, solicitors, tax accountants etc come into place, the independent referral bar will be lost forever. As a Barrister in the early years of practice, the idea of barristers going into such partnerships is a frightening proposition. Many colleagues with years of experience and established practices will have people lining up to form partnerships with them but many young practitioners wont have such luck. Such partnerships would likely divide the legal profession even more in that the big firms would go into partnership with several established, highly ranked and busy practitioners and create a sort of monopoly, not dissimilar to the US financial sector, and look what happened there. Smaller firms would find themselves in significant difficulty trying to complete with such large firms and while the bar in its current form is accessible to all, the proposals make access to barristers and access therefore to justice more restricted.
The proposed changes would create a barrier for those people who wish to join the profession and indeed those younger practitioners wishing to stay and establish themselves within the profession. The UK have a system known as chambers. In the English Bar Council's 2006 Report, only 17.5% of people graduating from the Bar would obtain a place in chambers. This stage is known as pupilage (similar to what is referred to as 'deviling' in this jurisdiction) so this system, if brought about here, would restrict access to the profession even further. It is difficult in the current economic climate to establish yourself as a self-employed person in any area of work, not least the bar. However, the current system, while it is competitive and challenging, what it provides is an equal opportunity for every person who has qualified, a chance to make it in the profession.
A chambers type system, like that which exists in the UK, would see several partnerships consisting of a select few barristers and which would in return be linked to the large firms and therefore increase costs rather than reduce them. Young barristers frequently take on cases on a pro bona basis for several reasons, experience, interest of justice etc but also to establish relationships with solicitors, an obvious essential in creating a practice and living for yourself at the bar. A young barrister, if lucky enough to even get in a chambers or partnership, would not be able to take on such work without the approval of a higher power. This cannot be said to increase access to justice and reduce costs. The barrister is restricted in taking on the work and the consumer cannot then afford to take the case.
While I see these changes from a young practitioners point of view, these partnerships would also cause serious problems for the consumer and access to justice from their point of view. Should they not be able to afford the sometimes inordinate fees which these larger firms charge, they in effect, cannot have access to some of the more established barristers or barristers who have an expertise in a certain area, as they will be in these partnerships. In the current system, whether you go to a large or small firm, if you request a particular barrister for whatever particular reason known to yourself, if they hold themselves out as an expert in a certain area, they must take on your case[2].
The Bill brings about new levies for practitioners, another cost which will impact the small firms and young barristers. The new structure will bring about a situation where barristers liability insurance will be more specific as opposed to general as it is in its current form. As a young barrister, you take work where you can get it and you pay a general insurance amount which covers all areas. The new proposals could change that and your premium could go up depending on your areas of practice and therefore you would have to turn down work, which could be a new area and therefore a new opportunity for you, because you haven't got insurance to cover you in that specific area. No young barrister would ever or should ever have to turn down work.
A huge issue for the profession in general is that it will effectively be governed entirely by the Government or, more specific, the Minister for Justice, therefore removing the word independent from every area of the legal profession. The proposed Legal Services Regulatory Authority (LSRA) would be the regulatory body which would contain eleven members, seven of which would be entirely Government appointed. Only four from the Bar Council and Law Society. Practitioners would pay for this and the Government would run it. The LSRA would and must refer to the Minister at almost every point or hurdle.
The 'separation of powers' which is at the core of the Irish Constitution is in serious jeopardy. Justice must not just be done, but be seen to be done. The former Chief Justice Ronan Keane recently stated that regulators of the legal profession must not only be seen to be independent but be truly independent in every aspect, the Legal Services Regulation Bill completely "Shatters" that notion.

The ACI Indonesia working group's conference "Beyond Coexistence in Plural Societies" was held on July 10th and 11th, 2017, at Jakarta's State Islamic University (UIN), and was co-sponsored by Contending Modernities and UIN's LP2M Institute for Research and Community Service. CM Co-Director Ebrahim Moosa delivered the keynote speech, a section of which is reproduced in blog form below.
Dr. Ebrahim Moosa delivers the keynote at the 2017 "Beyond Coexistence in Plural Societies" conference in Jakarta.
What is the place and role of the Arabo-Islamic heritage, known as the turāth, in contemporary society? Arabic and Islamic thought spilt a lot of ink on this question in the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries. Tradition, in short, was viewed as a repository of identity and morality. The challenge for Muslim thinkers and practitioners in this time period was to come to grips with new forms of identity making in which the modern nation state played a significant role. Whether they liked it or not, modernity and the modern world arrived on Muslim doorsteps as an uninvited guest under colonization or as an invited guest of declining Muslim empires, when aspects of modernity were adopted by the Ottoman, Safavid or the Mughul empires.
A French parachute division marches through a street in Algeria in 1957.
Muslim identity became entangled with the identity of insurgent cultures as well as civilizations more powerful than theirs and which eclipsed their own. In other words, the Muslim narrative of morality became more complex with more ruptures, breaks and discontinuity than previously experienced. I am fully aware that in the Islamic past the cultural mixing of styles of thought emanating out of the Arabian desert sometimes conflicted with the subjectivities of say North African, African, Persian, Turkic, Malay and a variety of Asiatic peoples over the centuries. But in the past many societies who newly adopted Islam, in one way or another, became invested as actors and players in the making of the Islamic smorgasbord or the Islamic quilt. In the modern period, many Muslims felt that foreign cultures were dictating the nature of the cultural changes and they had little agency in determining their own fate.
The question was never about Arabo-Islamic or a purely Islamic heritage in isolation from the rest of the world. The debates about heritage, turāth, tradition, and Arab identity, and varieties of hyphenated Islamic identities such as Afro-Islamic, Euro-Islamic, Malay-Islamic, Indo-Islamic, Perso-Islamic were entanglements of cultures, symbol systems, multiple forms of meaning-making and lived-practices. These debates were not only limited to the Arabic-speaking world. People as far as Indonesia, Nigeria, central and southern Africa, North America and Europe have all participated in these debates actively or passively. Why? Because they are all part of ongoing Muslim identity debates, namely what is the good life for Muslims in terms of state-formation, governance, citizenship, education, laws and ethics.
Of course, different constituencies in the Muslim world addressed these issues and challenges on their own terms and with great variance. Those who framed the question as that of heritage, turāth, were often folks who espoused modern education and a modern identity. They used modern moral and ethical languages of inquiry to find solutions. They took the entanglement of cultures and civilizations seriously and saw this as an opportunity to remake Muslim cultures and the elements that constituted Muslim or Islamic civilization. Their archive was a much more diverse account of multiple strands of Islam in the past. Yet, to their traditionalist critics among religious orthodoxies, these modern educated folks tilted too far in the direction of the modern and abandoned essential elements of the past or historical tradition. Their flaw, as the Lebanese writer Yahya Muhammad pointed out, was that they viewed the authority of tradition to be suggestive and indicative (tawjīhī). In the view of the modernists, not everything in the tradition was useable. Only those parts of the tradition that enjoyed the largest consensus and agreement historically made sense in the present. One major flaw of this group of modern educated elites was that they never really paid serious attention to the improvement of the political. In other words, as much as there were debates about questions of morality, gender and law, the question of political modernity in Muslim politics was seriously neglected. Status quo practices and patriarchal politics of the all-knowing rulers, authorities and their intellectual enablers continued. With that state of affairs, political accountability became non-existent as a value.
Another significant sector of Muslim intelligentsia were the religious scholars, 'ulama, who explored these questions of identity from a different perspective. These were the people in the traditional institutions of learning like the famous Islamic universities in the Arabic speaking world, the pesantren of the Malay world, the madrasas of South Asia, the hawzas of Iran and Iraq or the madrasas of sub-Saharan Africa and central Asia. For them the tradition was constitutive (takwīnī) of Muslim identity, and morality was indispensable to self-making. But in this view, tradition was also an exercise of moral power by the custodians of tradition. The 'ulama viewed the moral templates of the past to be sufficient and that tradition could be deployed in the present with minor modifications.
Boundaries of the Ottoman Empire in 1801.
Both the modern intellectuals and the traditional 'ulama did not allow for a healthy mutual exchange. In fact, dialogue between rival perspectives was often non-existent or, when it did occur, took the form of excommunication, anathematizing and deeming the other as either anachronistic peddlers of tradition or lackeys of foreign and alien cultures. Meanwhile, the modern nation-state never facilitated serious and meaningful debate about the nature of Muslim identity. Identity questions were often politicized to create the most useful and compliant citizen who could conform to the will of the state. And these days the major identity project is to create sectarian loyalties and hatreds between Sunni and Shia adherents in different parts of the globe. Without careful nurturing and dedicated attention to the past as well as the present, tradition becomes an instrument of power, and a source of learned ignorance. Unless it is used with integrity and care, tradition becomes a site for pathological manifestations.
So let's ponder what is at stake in this debate about heritage and tradition. At its core, the debate was about the role of the Islamic past in the making of the new and the present. In short, the question was one of identity and selfhood in late modernity. The question of identity is deeply enmeshed in rubrics as varied as questions of Islamic law, ethics, theology, philosophy, debates on religion in modernity (religious studies), Islamic revival, gender debates, education, environment, bioethics and personhood. Put differently, the question centers around the moral anthropology and the moral theology of what it is to be a human person. Actors such as Muslim revivalists, activists in political Islam, Muslim modernists, traditionalists, feminists and gender activists as well as those exploring the complex debates in human sexuality have all had a say in these matters.
For tradition to play a role in Muslim majority societies that are searching for authentic commitments and strong identities, the very idea of tradition ought to be linked to lived experience. One of the major challenges to sustaining tradition in Muslim societies is to configure precisely how to cultivate intelligible literacies of tradition. Tradition cannot merely be the simple adherence to a past practice without understanding its moral relevance and its place in policymaking and politics today.

The Maudsley BioResource for Mental Health is in collaboration with Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust BioResource (both part of the NIHR BioResource) and King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Neurological Services.
We focus on research into psychiatry and neurology from our local clinical psychiatry and neurology services.
Specifically, we have volunteers with diagnoses of:
schizophrenia,
autism,
mood and eating disorders
epilepsy,
and neurological sleep and eye disorders.
We currently have over 10,000 volunteers with samples stored within the BioResource, and are continuing to recruit volunteers. We securely store patient contact details allowing us to re-approach our volunteers to help recruit for other studies and clinical trials.
Network of collaborators
As we expand our network of collaborators, we hope to continue to increase our annual target until we achieve our overall collection target of 50,000 biological samples. These samples, together with anonymised clinical, and where available, neuroimaging data, are available to clinicians, researchers, and students who are interested in researching the biological changes and genetics behind the development of different psychiatric and neurological conditions.
We collaborate extensively with researchers and clinicians from:
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
as well as neurology services in King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
We attend the clinics of collaborating clinicians and also welcome volunteers from our local communities and charitable organisations. We collaborate with existing research projects by organizing sample collections from participants, consenting them also to our BioResource and then storing these for future use. We also attend clinics at King's Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences, where we actively recruit memory, dementia and neurology patients from across the South East London area.
We have a unique collaboration with the Charlotte's Helix Initiative, a parent-run charity that aims to increase genetic and biological research into anorexia. Along with international efforts, the overall aim to collect 25,000 samples worldwide from volunteers who are suffering or who have suffered from Anorexia Nervosa. With these samples, researchers can begin to look into the genetics behind eating disorders and hopefully gain better understanding into their causes, and potentially into more efficient treatments. The Maudsley BioResource has teamed up with Charlotte's Helix and has pledged to collect 1,000 of these samples from across the United Kingdom.
We are supporting local delivery of the 100,000 Genomes Project in collaboration with the South London Genomic Medicine Centre. This initiative aims to take advantage of the scientific breakthroughs in genomics research and use them to provide potential benefits to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with rare diseases within the NHS. We are recruiting trios of family members where one or more members are affected with Classical Tuberous Sclerosis, Moderate/ Severe Intellectual Disability, Severe Familial Low Weight or Anorexia Nervosa, or Kleine-Levin Syndrome. These families will have their full genomes sequenced and genetic risk variants identified, which can help lead to a better understanding of not only the causes of rare diseases, but also potentially, of the treatments for these conditions.

bp agrees to sell its petrochemicals ...
30-Jun-2020 - BP p.l.c.
bp agrees to sell its petrochemicals business to INEOS
$5 billion deal for bp's global aromatics, acetyls and related businesses
bp announced that it has agreed to sell its global petrochemicals business to INEOS for a total consideration of $5 billion, subject to customary adjustments. The agreed sale, the next strategic step in reinventing bp, will further strengthen bp's balance sheet and delivers its target for agreed divestments a year earlier than originally scheduled.
Under the terms of the agreement, INEOS will pay bp a deposit of $400 million and will pay a further $3.6 billion on completion. An additional $1 billion will be deferred and paid in three separate instalments of $100 million in March, April and May 2021 with the remaining $700 million payable by the end of June 2021. Subject to regulatory and other approvals, the transaction is expected to complete by the end of 2020.
bp's petrochemicals business is focused on two main businesses – aromatics and acetyls – each of which has leading technology and advantaged manufacturing plants, including a strong presence in growth markets in Asia. In total, the businesses have interests in 14 manufacturing plants in Asia, Europe and the US and in 2019 produced 9.7 million tonnes of petrochemicals.
Bernard Looney, bp chief executive officer said: "This is another significant step as we steadily work to reinvent bp. These businesses are leaders in their sectors, with world-class technologies, plants and people. In recent years they have improved performance to produce highly competitive returns and now have the potential for growth and expansion into the circular economy.
"I am very grateful to our petrochemicals team for what they have achieved over the years and their commitment to bp. I recognise this decision will come as a surprise and we will do our best to minimise uncertainty. I am confident however that the businesses will thrive as part of INEOS, a global leader in petrochemicals.
"Strategically, the overlap with the rest of bp is limited and it would take considerable capital for us to grow these businesses. As we work to build a more focused, more integrated bp, we have other opportunities that are more aligned with our future direction. Today's agreement is another deliberate step in building a bp that can compete and succeed through the energy transition."
Brian Gilvary, bp's chief financial officer, said: "With today's announcement we have met our $15 billion target for agreed divestments a full year ahead of schedule, demonstrating the range and quality of options available to us."
In total, the businesses included in the transaction currently employ over 1,700 staff worldwide. These staff are expected to transfer to INEOS on completion of the sale.
This agreement means that bp has now agreed $15 billion of divestments and other disposals through 2019 and 2020 to date, an amount originally expected to be reached by mid-2021.

Looking For Coffee & Crepes? It's Coast Cafe To The Rescue!
Their menu is quite extensive - from Continental options to authentic dishes from Kerala. If you're hungry, try their fish tacos and appams with prawn moilee.
The cappuccino sold here is light and frothy, yet gives a much-needed caffeine kick. The Nutella crepes sound heavy, but are delicious, light and just the right amount of sweet.
I love everything on their menu. If you're looking for a drink instead, try their sangria and pair it with the sukha mutton fry.

New York|Millions in Campaign Donations in Albany Go to Legal Fees
Millions in Campaign Donations in Albany Go to Legal Fees
The campaign of Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, who was indicted on corruption charges, has spent more than $1.5 million this year alone to pay for lawyers.CreditCreditBryan R. Smith for The New York Times
By Susanne Craig and Thomas Kaplan
ALBANY — During the final weeks of the 2013 legislative session, Robert J. Rodriguez, a state assemblyman from Harlem, went out drinking with friends one night and was later arrested and charged with drunken driving.
Mr. Rodriguez eventually pleaded guilty, losing his driver's license for at least six months. But the monetary cost to Mr. Rodriguez was far less: His campaign not only picked up the roughly $8,500 in legal bills — it also paid his $900 penalty, records show.
Mr. Rodriguez's case, while extreme, is one of many examples where New York lawmakers have used campaign funds to pay for lawyers, often lawyers who specialize in criminal defense.
The New York Times examined the spending of 41 elected officials who have been connected to a scandal or investigation since 2005; those 41 politicians have spent at least $7 million of campaign funds on legal fees, based on a review of Board of Elections filings from 2005 to the present.
The recent rash of arrests and convictions of Albany lawmakers has intensified the practice: Since mid-January, state lawmakers either accused of wrongdoing or simply caught up in a broader scandal have spent at least $1.9 million in campaign funds to cover their legal fees.
State election laws require that the funds be used for a lawful purpose, and that they be related to a "political campaign or the holding of a public office or party position."

Lawmakers typically argue that the nature and requirement of their jobs place them in situations where they are legally vulnerable, so their legal bills should be covered by their campaigns.
Lauren George, associate director of Common Cause New York, said most people would be surprised that their political donations in New York were being spent on anything other than re-election efforts.
"Campaign funds should not be used to keep someone out of jail," Ms. George said. "And most donors didn't have that in mind when they contributed."
The campaign of Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, one of the most powerful politicians to be indicted, has spent more than $1.5 million this year alone to pay for lawyers. Mr. Silver, a Democrat, resigned as speaker of the Assembly after he was arrested in January on federal corruption charges; his trial is scheduled for November.
Carl Kruger, the former state senator who pleaded guilty in 2011 to federal corruption charges, spent at least $1.4 million in campaign funds on legal fees. Mr. Kruger, a Democrat, admitted to bribery schemes in which he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for taking official action as a senator.
Former Senator Thomas W. Libous's campaign had spent more than $400,000 on lawyers by mid-July, though that figure may grow once lawyers submit their most recent work, which includes his trial that concluded last month. Mr. Libous, a Republican, was found guilty of lying to agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation who were examining his son's hiring at a politically connected law firm.
Some other politicians who used campaign funds to pay for lawyers have not been charged with a crime, but have been the subject of a federal investigation. The campaign former Senator George D. Maziarz, a Republican, ran up at least $166,800 in legal bills since 2010, much of which came in recent years after it was learned that federal investigators were examining his campaign spending.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's campaign has spent roughly $220,000 in the last year on legal fees related to the federal inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the shutdown of the Moreland Commission, a panel the governor established in 2013 to root out corruption, then shut less than a year later in exchange for a modest package of ethics reforms.
The governor's office said last year that Mr. Cuomo's campaign, not taxpayers, would pay for the cost of any legal expenses incurred by his office for the federal investigation. Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, said in July that the money was for services rendered in 2014, and primarily covered document production. Neither the governor nor any member of his staff has been accused of wrongdoing.
In the case of Mr. Rodriguez, the Democratic assemblyman from Harlem, his campaign spent at least $8,500 on legal bills after his arrest, and paid $900 to Colonie Town Court for "fees," according to a filing with the Board of Elections. Court documents, however, itemize the $900 as a $500 fine and a separate $400 surcharge imposed by the state.
State election law was recently changed to prohibit the use of campaign money for "any fines or penalties" in connection with a criminal conviction; Mr. Rodriguez's use of campaign funds predated the change in the law.
After an inquiry from The Times, a spokesman for Mr. Rodriguez said that the use of campaign funds to pay the drunken driving fine was an "oversight by the campaign committee," and that he would reimburse the fund.
The spokesman added that although it is the campaign's position that the legal fees were a legitimate campaign expense at the time, the assemblyman would reimburse his campaign for those expenses as well, given the recent changes in the law.
As a result of his guilty plea, Mr. Rodriguez had his license revoked for a minimum of six months, and had a breathalyzer device installed on the car, according to court documents.

The campaign of Assemblyman Keith L. T. Wright, another Democrat from Harlem, paid $500 in legal fees to help a constituent who is also a political supporter fight an eviction notice, Mr. Wright said in an interview. Mr. Wright could not immediately explain how this related to his campaign, but suggested his campaign picked up the supporter's legal fees because he likes helping people.
In some instances, state taxpayers ultimately foot lawmakers' legal bills. Joseph L. Bruno, a former Republican Senate majority leader, had his conviction in 2009 for honest services mail fraud overturned; he was subsequently acquitted at a second trial. Mr. Bruno, who used campaign funds to pay for legal fees, then turned to the state for reimbursement. New York ultimately paid almost $2.2 million to one of his law firms, according to a spokeswoman for the comptroller's office. That firm has since refunded $1.5 million to Mr. Bruno's campaign account.
State Senator Brad Hoylman, a Manhattan Democrat, has sponsored legislation to ban the use of campaign funds on lawyers' fees except in matters involving election law. He says the state needs to delineate between routine legal expenses associated with a campaign and defending oneself in a criminal action.
"I think it's a bait and switch when you solicit campaign support and then use it toward your defense in a criminal trial, especially if it involves abdication of your public responsibilities," he said. "I don't think any donor has in mind criminal defense of a candidate when they give to a state legislator. I think legislators should set up legal defense funds, but those are different than re-election accounts."
At least one such fund appears to have been established. A website has been set up so people can donate to the legal defense of Senator Dean G. Skelos and his son, Adam, both of whom were indicted this year on federal corruption charges. Mr. Skelos, a Republican, is the former Senate majority leader.
"The courthouse steps are littered with the reputations of men and women who were indicted, then vindicated by a jury, only to find that a verdict of innocence left them destitute and broken," the website reads. "Those who are part of the Skelos Family Legal Defense Fund will not let that happen to Dean and Adam Skelos."
Mr. Skelos does not appear to have billed any legal fees to his campaign account this year.

Two New Species of Horned Dinosaur Named
Posted by fossilpro2 on March 13, 2012 · Leave a Comment
ScienceDaily (Mar. 12, 2012) — Two new horned dinosaurs have been named based on fossils collected from Alberta, Canada. The new species, Unescopceratops koppelhusae and Gryphoceratops morrisoni, are from the Leptoceratopsidae family of horned dinosaurs. The herbivores lived during the Late Cretaceous period between 75 to 83 million years ago. The specimens are described in research published in the Jan. 24, 2012, online issue of the journal Cretaceous Research.

"These dinosaurs fill important gaps in the evolutionary history of small-bodied horned dinosaurs that lack the large horns and frills of relatives like Triceratops from North America," said Michael Ryan, Ph.D., curator of vertebrate paleontology at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History, lead author on the research. "Although horned dinosaurs originated in Asia, our analysis suggests that leptoceratopsids radiated to North America and diversified here, since the new species, Gryphoceratops, is the earliest record of the group on this continent."
Unescoceratops koppelhusae lived approximately 75 million years ago. It measured about one to two meters (6.5 feet) in length and weighed less than 91 kilograms (200 pounds). It had a short frill extending from behind its head but did not have ornamentation on its skull. It had a parrot-like beak. Its teeth were lower and rounder than those of any other leptoceratopsid. In addition, its hatchet-shaped jaw had a distinct portion of bone that projected below the jaw like a small chin.
The lower left jaw fragment of Unescoceratops was discovered in 1995 in Dinosaur Provincial Park, a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site by Philip Currie, Ph.D., now of the University of Alberta. Originally described in 1998 by Ryan and Currie, the dinosaur was referred to as Leptoceratops. Subsequent research by Ryan and David Evans, Ph.D., of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, determined the specimen was a new genus and species. The genus is named to honor the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation for the locality where the specimen was found and from the Greek "ceratops," which means "horned face." The species is named for Eva Koppelhus, Ph.D., a palynologist at the University of Alberta and wife of Currie.
Gryphoceratops morrisoni lived about 83 million years ago. It had a shorter and deeper jaw shape than any other leptoceratopsid. Researchers believe the individual was a full-grown adult. Based on unique characteristics of the jaw and its size, the researchers believe that Gryphoceratops was an adult that did not exceed one-half meter in length. This means it is the smallest adult-sized horned dinosaur in North America and one of the smallest adult-sized plant-eating dinosaurs known.
Lower right jaw fragments of Gryphoceratops were discovered in southern Alberta in 1950 by Levi Sternberg while he worked for the Royal Ontario Museum. The genus is named for "Gryphon," a mythological Greek figure with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle, which is a reference to the animal's beaked face. The species name honors Ian Morrison, a Royal Ontario Museum technician, who discovered how the bones fit together.
Second author Evans, associate curator of vertebrate palaeontology at the Royal Ontario Museum and assistant professor at the University of Toronto, said, "Small-bodied dinosaurs are typically poorly represented in the fossil record, which is why fragmentary remains like these new leptoceratopsids can make a big contribution to our understanding of dinosaur ecology and evolution."
Contributing authors are Philip Currie, Ph.D., of the University of Alberta; Caleb Brown of the University of Toronto; and Don Brinkman, Ph.D., of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology.

La cucina comasca, e in genere quella lariana, si è formata nei secoli sulla base delle risorse alimentari della zona, essenzialmente la pesca di lago e la pastorizia alpina.

Il nucleo principale di questo tipo di cucina è proprio il pesce d'acqua dolce, che fornisce la base per alcuni piatti tipici: il riso bollito o il risotto con il pesce persico, il lavarello in "carpione" (cioè fritto e marinato in aceto con l'aggiunta di cipolla e timo selvatico), la frittura di alborelle e i famosi misultin, o missultitt (agoni del Lago di Como, privati delle interiora, salati, essiccati all'aria aperta, poi grigliati e mangiati con la polenta).

La polenta è la regina della tavola comasca e oltre che di tutto l'arco alpino. Qui è ottenuta mischiando e cuocendo farina di mais e di grano saraceno. Accompagna non solo il pesce, ma anche le carni, la cacciagione, i formaggi, gli insaccati. Piatto quotidiano dei pastori degli alpeggi era polenta e latte.
Molto preparata è anche la polenta uncia: un pasticcio di polenta e formaggio, innaffiata da un soffritto di burro, aglio ed erba salvia. Tipico di Bellagio è il tocch, una speciale polenta uncia cotta con burro e formaggio, mangiata con le mani e accompagnata da salumi, carne e misultin. La pult invece è una polentina di farina di mais e di frumento, molto molle. Viene mischiata col burro e consumata intinta nel latte freddo, solitamente nella stagione estiva.

Altro piatto della cucina povera è lultadell detto anche paradell o turtell a seconda della zona, a Como viene chiamato cutiza. Si ottiene soffriggendo nel burro una pastella di farina di frumento, latte, uovo e sale. Prelibato era quello preparato con latte de penagia, cioè il latte che rimaneva nella zangola dopo la preparazione del burro. Fino a qualche decennio fa faceva parte della dieta di base e lo si consumava solitamente accompagnato da verdure in insalata. Attualmente invece lo si mangia addolcito con zucchero o accompagnato da marmellate.La versione più povera fatta solamente di acqua e farina, sempre fritta, è detta buscell, che a volte viene preparato con aggiunta di mele (dolce) o di cipolle (salato).La pasta dellultadell poteva essere "allungata" con pane raffermo ammollato nel latte o con avanzi di minestra di latte e arricchito con frutta, solitamente mele o uva. In questo caso prende il nome di miascia. Oggi, anche la miascia viene consumata come dessert, arricchita con zucchero e altra frutta come pere, uvette e frutta secca.

Tra i numerosi formaggi, ricordiamo la semuda di latte vaccino scremato, a pasta soffice, di colore giallognolo e di sapore delicato, fatto stagionare da 3 o 4 settimane a diversi mesi: la crosta è grigiastra per la presenza di muffe tipiche di questo formaggio. Prima della lavorazione il latte viene lasciato nella conga 24 ore e poi viene scremato manualmente.
Interessante anche lo zincarlin ricavato dalla lavorazione della ricotta con sale, olio e pepe.

Esiste anche una notevole tradizione di insaccati: tipica è la brianzetta, ottenuta dalla lavorazione della pancetta di maiale.

Tra i dolci, la resta di Como, il matalocch della Val Menaggio e il braschin originario di Garzeno, che sono tutti pani dolci.

In diverse zone del Lago di Como si produce un ottimo olio di oliva DOP pungente e di colore verde brillante con riflessi giallo oro, dal profumo profondo e dall'acidità molto bassa denominato "Laghi Lombardi" con l'aggiunta del termine "Lario" per designarne l'origine.

La viticoltura è oggi poco sviluppata. Il vino che si produce viene chiamato nustranell sul lago o pincianell in Brianza.

Toronto FC signs Mavinga to multi-year deal: Source
Steve BufferyMore from Steve Buffery
Leafs all time roster batting a thousand
Toronto FC sign Rocco Romeo as homegrown player
A Toronto FC favourite will be sticking around for a few more years.
According to sources, centre back Chris Mavinga has signed a new multi-year deal with TFC. An official announcement is expected on Thursday.
The Frenchman has been with the Reds since the 2017 season and, along with Omar Gonzalez, helped solidify that back line last season as Toronto made it to the MLS Cup final, losing to Seattle 3-1 in the last match of the 2019 season.
Mavinga is known for posting mysterious messages on social media. On Jan. 2, he tweeted: 'Something BIG is coming'. And on Wednesday he tweeted: 'Here to stay'.
The 28-year-old has been a pro since 2010, spending most of his time with French sides Stade Rennais F.C. (2011-13) and Troyes AC (2015-2016) before signing a three-year deal with Toronto in 2017.
Mavinga represented the French men's national team at the under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels. He helped the French under-19 team capture the 2010 UEFA under-19 championship. Mavinga earned his first senior international cap with DR Congo. It came during an Africa Cup of Nations qualification match on September 6, 2015.
He made 26 appearances for the Reds last season, starting 24 games, including all four in the playoffs.

The Musée des Arts Décoratifs is paying tribute to the Bauhaus in this exhibition featuring more than nine hundred works – objects, furniture, textiles, drawings, models, paintings – all placed in the context of the school and illustrating the extraordinary wealth of its experimentation in all fields. The exhibition begins by showing the historic context and sources that brought the Bauhaus into existence, then takes us through all the stages of the student curriculum in its various workshops. It ends with an invitation to the artist Mathieu Mercier to highlight the work of contemporary artists, designers and fashion designers demonstrating the durability and vitality of the Bauhaus spirit.


We rushed early to St. Paul's in London one morning so we could explore the cathedral and climb the dome before the large crowds hit. Even so, I had no patience with the early bird tourists giggling with glee at the whispering gallery or shrieking in panic at the tight spiral staircase to the top of the dome, so I wrote poem stanzas on the climb to distract myself from any irritation. Enjoy!
Come to the top of the wall.
Climb through the dome, do not fall.
Wave down to the pews and quire stalls.
Come to the cupola crown.
To where the sky peers curiously down.
Stand at the echoing wall.
Stand with the white marble pall.
Come to the open air sky.
See where the glass and steel rise.
Look out over all the world's globe.
Shout up to the heavens full-throat.
Come to the inners of the domes.
Where bells boom against brick and against stone.
In the places we seek to escape.
Come to the middle and roam.
Come to the window surprise.
Come to the looking glass hole.
And then gasp at the heights still to go.
but ascend to the zenith of the bowl.
Look out over the city at last!
Look over the great urban sprawl.
Reflect on the richness and wealth of it all.
And descend once again down the hall.
The dome of St. Paul's is 365 feet tall including the turret. It's 528 steps up to the Golden Gallery, the highest of three galleries, including the whispering gallery where whispered words can be easily heard on the other side of the dome. Be ready for tight turns and close quarters and keep in mind it's a one-way path once you've started climbing. You can bail at any of the galleries and go back down, but once you've started up the stairs you're committed to at least the next gallery.
The word "cathedral" comes from the Latin word "cathedra" meaning "chair." It refers to the bishop's chair, so you have to have the bishop's cathedra in order to have a cathedral. Hence, St. Paul's cathedral is the cathedral for the diocese of London.
St. Paul's is Roman Baroque in style and had replaced an older medieval church that had been destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. With the Reformation and the break from Rome it was quite a shock for architect Christopher Wren to choose the Roman Baroque style instead of the Gothic style more frequently seen in London.
During the WWII "Blitz" a small army of volunteers worked around the clock to protect the cathedral from incendiary bombs dropped by the German Luftwaffe. The audio tour had some interesting facts on these efforts, which I promptly forgot to write down.
Martin Luther King, Jr. preached at St. Paul's, and after MLK's death his widow Coretta was the first woman to preach at St. Paul's.
Grinling Gibbons was a famous wood carver who did all the wood interiors of St. Paul's, including the incredibly ornate quire stalls (again, remember the context: the Reformation was all about eliminating the extravagance of Papal Catholicism, so much of the colorful interior decor was installed well after the cathedral was built. However, it was apparently acceptable to deck out the quire with some fancy woodwork). I was quite shocked to find just how much the limewood had darkened over the centuries. It was almost ebony in color, except for the few bright patches of restored pieces that looked like a sort of white maple color. Now the dark wood looks a bit gloomy, but you can imagine what it would have looked like new with its lighter, brighter, and golden sheen.
The quire mosaic has stones set at different angles to give it a shimmering and glittering illusion. No, not all the glimmers is gold, it's just a trick on your eyes.
Oh, and remember that list of names you came up with of famous British dead for who might be buried in Westminster Abbey? Yeah, the rest of that list is interred in St. Paul's crypt. (Okay, not exactly, but that crypt is full of some famous names like William Blake - "To see the world in a grain of sand/and heaven in a wild flower/Hold infinity in the palm of your hand/and Eternity in an Hour." and Robert Hooke, Alexander Fleming, Florence Nightingale, and Van Dyck (!! did I mention I saw a lot of Van Dyck in England?!) to name a few.
Get to St. Paul's early to avoid the crowds and get some decent views of the city before it rains or gets hot.
The crypt leads to the exit, so do that last.
The audio tour tries to get you to first tour the nave, but beat the crowds and enjoy some golden early morning sunlight by climbing the dome first, then touring the nave, and finally exploring the crypt.
When you're done, cross the Thames via the Millennial Bridge and check out Shakespeare's Globe or the Tate Modern.
I'm a fan of seeing churches and cathedrals when I travel; what about you? Do certain architectural elements beckon you when you're touring a city? Let me know in the comments!

Different ways to buy and read "Lean Hospitals"
"Lean" is a process improvement methodology and, more importantly, Lean is a leadership style and a management system. Lean has been embraced by hospitals and health systems since the 1990s, especially so in the past ten years. The Lean approach is powerful, but it is not a quick fix. Lean promotes a new way of thinking and a different organizational culture, requiring change and participation from everybody at all levels. The practical methods and tools used within this broader framework have led to measurably better performance in areas such as patient safety, quality, waiting times, cost and employee morale in healthcare organizations around the world.
Lean is not something you simply implement this year or in a few short years. Lean is an approach that you practice diligently, improving and learning more over time. Lean doesn't mean being perfect or completely free of waste, since no organization ever reaches those heights. But a "Lean hospital" is one where leaders have a humble, inquisitive mindset and a management style that allows for the reinvention of aspects of healthcare delivery and creates a culture of continuous improvement.

The much-anticipated public release of the Samsung Galaxy SIII on May the 30th looks to be a massive event for mobile fans. As the demand for the greatest Galaxy to date is already so high, with over 9-million pre-orders already taken, Samsung are planning to open pop-up shops – or as they call them "PINS". This gives you a chance to view and go hands-on with a working Samsung Galaxy SIII before the launch instead of the dummy phone held in most retail stores.
These stores are going to be full of highly trained staff that will be able to talk you through the new SIII. If you can't decide if you want the phone on release at least you will have the chance to try them out and have a play with the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS and features including S Voice. You'll also be able to ask all the questions you've been dying to ask about the new Samsung Galaxy SIII and put your mind at ease before you sign into a new 24 month contract.
The design of the PIN has been made to completely control your experience for the best. There will be rows of SG3's taking you away from the queues of a high street phone shop. Reflecting the gadget itself, the shop is of a sleek design. It's mirrored glass, metal and wood and allows Samsung full control of the retail environment.
As the Samsung Galaxy SIII is the official Olympic Games Phone these pop up shops will be appearing around London in the run-up to the games. The first of these stores will be opening on 29th May at Westfield Shepherd's Bush and the Old Spitalfields Market. As the countdown to the games continues two other shops will be popping up in Hyde Park and the Olympic Park.


Presidential Candidate Mar Roxas is once again trending in social media thanks to a photo of a comicbook that's being distributed in Cavite.
Did I mention that he's trending in bad taste?
I was there. Many survivors were there also. I was even present during the press conference where he said that there will be a meeting at 8:00am on November 8.
Meaning, he NEVER knew that the storm will hit as early as 5am. Tapos ngayon HERO siya? Wala siyang alam. It will be between his story and our stories. To all Roxas supporters, I'm sorry but your Presidential candidate is insane.
Its not the komiks that's under fire but rather the content or the story. People who managed to get a copy of the book states that it was pure propaganda at its finest, raising the presidential candidate as a hero after Leyte and Tacloban was hit by Typhoon Haian aka Yolanda.
Mar Roxas has been using that angle for awhile now, most recently during the televised presidential debates but people are not buying it. I certainly don't buy that mostly because there have been a lot of "horror stories"regarding the malversation of funds that were supposed to be given to the victims who lost their homes and loved ones.
Seriously though, Roxas has been shooting his foot over and over again. I believe that he COULD do a good job, but he's really making a fool of himself as of late.
Also now I want to get my hands of a copy of that book. Probably sell it on eBay when this is all over.
where do we get one? I want to have one.

Can you hear heartbeat at 8 weeks?
At 8 weeks, a baby is typically between 1/2 and 3/4 inch long (1.5 to 2 centimeters),1 about the size and shape of kidney bean. Some parents even nickname their baby "the little bean" around this time, especially after catching a glimpse of the baby on an early ultrasound.
By the time you're 8 weeks pregnant, your baby is called a foetus, which means offspring. The legs are getting longer. The different parts of the leg are not properly distinct yet. It'll be a bit longer before the knees, ankles, thighs and toes develop.
The eyes have moved forward on the face and eyelids have formed. The umbilical cord is clearly visible. At the end of 8 weeks, your baby is a fetus and looks more like a human. Your baby is nearly 1 inch long and weighs less than 1/8 of an ounce.
At 8 weeks, your fetus is about the size of a kidney bean and could be nearly half an inch long. While they still don't look like the bouncing bundle of joy you'll give birth to, they look more human and less otherworldly. Now they have arm and leg buds, and although they're webbed, they have fingers and toes.
IT IS IMPORTANT: Can you take a pregnancy test at night?
8 Weeks Pregnant: Your Baby's Development
This week, hands and feet are forming tiny fingers and toes, and those arms are able to flex at the elbows and wrists. At this point, eyes begin to develop pigment, and genitals are forming too, although it's still too soon to know whether you're expecting a boy or a girl.
First-time moms may not feel baby move until closer to 25 weeks. Seasoned moms may feel movement as early as 13 weeks. If you're feeling anything fluttering down in your tummy around this time, it's possible that your baby is grooving around in there. Baby's kicks are also called quickening.
The baby's eye structures are complete, he has tiny earlobes, and his wrist, elbow, and knee joints are visible. All in all your baby finally looks like what he is—a miniature human being. In medical terms he has graduated from an embryo to a fetus, and soon he will begin to stir.
Although each pregnancy is different, you can expect the placenta to take over around weeks 8 to 12 of pregnancy, with 10 weeks being the average time for most women. This doesn't mean that your own hormone production and nutrition aren't important.
If you're 8 weeks pregnant, you're in month 2 of your pregnancy. Only 7 months left to go!
This is called an anembryonic pregnancy, which is also known as a blighted ovum. Or it may be that your baby started to grow, but then stopped growing and they have no heartbeat. Occasionally it happens beyond the first few weeks, perhaps at eight weeks or 10 weeks, or even further on.
IT IS IMPORTANT: Best answer: How many times can you warm up baby food?
Conclusion: For women without symptoms, the risk of miscarriage after attending a first antenatal visit between 6 and 11 weeks is low (1.6% or less), especially if they present at 8 weeks of gestation and beyond.
Twin baby development at 8 weeks
You can see them both on ultrasound now and your provider can detect heart beats. Their cells have been multiplying and are differentiating into different body systems and body parts, and their organs are forming rapidly.
Most doctors schedule an ultrasound at around 18 to 21 weeks, but the sex may be determined by ultrasound as early as 14 weeks . It's not always 100 percent accurate, though. Your baby might be in an awkward position, which makes it difficult to clearly see the genitals.
Your first ultrasound is called the "dating" or "viability" ultrasound. It's typically done between 7 and 8 weeks to verify your due date, to look for a fetal heartbeat, and to measure the length of the baby from "crown to rump." At this ultrasound, you'll also learn whether you're having one baby, twins, or more!
Babies can feel pain very early on in their life. 4 Weeks: A baby's pain receptors being to develop followed by nerve fibers that carry messages to the brain. 6 Weeks: The baby will respond to touch. 8 Weeks: The cerebral cortex starts to develop and will eventually grow to have the same number of nerves as an adult.
IT IS IMPORTANT: When should I feel sick during pregnancy?
A: At 8 weeks, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to hear a fetal heart beat with a handheld Doppler machine. In fact, during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, fetal heart rate is almost always confirmed by using an ultrasound machine, which uses soundwaves to pick up a baby's heart beat from within the uterus.

Several security features have been added at the stations on Delhi Metro's Heritage Line. A six-foot glass wall has been installed at each station demarcating the checked and unchecked areas after studies showed several theft cases near security X-ray machines as well as people passing items through the security barriers. In addition, CCTV cameras have been placed at strategic points to ensure no one can sneak through undetected. Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has deployed 261 personnel at these four stations with special attention on security vulnerabilities.
"The stations have been planned better in terms of their design. There is also more space between frisking points and smart card counters, and CCTV positioning has been done to ensure that no area is left undetected," said deputy commandant Manjit Singh, CISF spokesperson. The Heritage Line stations will also have night-vision cameras.
To handle a heavy tourist footfall, CISF personnel deployed on this line have been given special training in soft and communication skills. They have been taught how to speak with an accent and trained to understand British and American accents. They will also advise the tourists on how to take extra care of their baggage in crowded areas. "These personnel will be able to guide the tourists to their destination," said Singh.


The Philadelphia School District is in the midst of a major turnaround.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Philadelphia School District is in the midst of a major turnaround.
Hundreds of new teachers will be in the classroom this fall, and programs that were cut due to budget constraints are coming back.
Aashita Batra is a student teacher at Julia De Burgos Elementary in the city's Kensington section. Soon to graduate from a select master's program at Temple, her specialties are science and math.
Instead of taking perhaps an easier road and higher pay in the suburbs, she'll be assigned to a Philadelphia school in the fall.
"I want to show them that anybody can be a scientist. The stigma of the fact that only men can be scientists or the fact that you just have to be really, really smart," said Batra. "No, you have to be curious and you have to ask questions."
The superintendent says four of Batra's fellow Temple classmates will go to work for the Philadelphia School District.
"We always have between 300-500 people that we have to hire each year," said Philadelphia School District Superintendent Dr. William Hite.
The district is hiring 500 new teachers in June. Counselors and nurses are being hired as well so that every school will once again be fully staffed.
All music programs are back in business and so are sports and art - a stunning comeback from just three years ago when there were 5,000 layoffs.
"This is fiscal management," said Dr. Hite. "I mean you have to get to a place where our expenditures are not outpacing our revenues, and we are at that place - temporarily."
So after years of misery, it appears the Philadelphia School District is by and large on a new roll.
"The new teachers seem to be doing exactly what we need them to do, which is incorporate technology, and just be really passionate about our children," said Principal Maritza Hernandez.
"You wanna be there to show them all the world has to offer them, no matter what their circumstances are," said Batra.
Challenges remain, however, with no teacher's contract after years of bitter wrangling, and a systematic budget gap of more than a half-billion dollars that will resurface in three years and will have to be addressed once and for all.


Business Intelligence or Business Analytics?
At the SAS Global Forum this week some SAS speakers drew a distinction between Business Intelligence – BI – and Business Analytics. This distinction between Business Intelligence (what everyone else does) and Business Analytics (what SAS does) struck me as a distinction without a difference, as a friend of mine used to say.
As SAS talked about its business analytics framework it became clear that they envision the results of data mining and predictive analytics (where they genuinely have offerings superior to almost everyone) will be delivered in reports or dashboards. This is what I have somewhat dismissively called "predictive reporting" and while it is better than purely historical reporting, it does not do much to make every decision analytically based as it leaves out the decisions made by machines (which don't read reports) and those made by people with too little time to read a report (most call center or retail staff, for instance) or no skill at interpreting it.
JT – I agree with you. I think SAS is just trying to differentiate themselves from everyone else by calling it something different. I actually like the description – Business Analytics verses Business Intelligence, which I think is getting to be outdated. A few years back, I noticed just about anything having to do with data, reporting or analysis fell under the umbrella of Business Intelligence. Now, I think there is more emphasis on narrowing down the scope and defining what exactly is BI or Business Analytics.
SAS has long danced around this question as a matter of market positioning. A few years ago, the products were "beyond BI." Then SAS became a BI company. Now it's not?
What a great sign about the power of Twitter – I was lucky enough to find this post via one of the people I follow there.

Can Indian Esports' Future Be in Mobile Gaming?
The Best Esports Games from India
Final Words on Esports
Based on the present weather and playing circumstances, players should be chosen.
When choosing your ship's captain and vice-captain, exercise considerable caution.
Watch the Performance of Recently Played Players
In the 1990s, do you recall playing the famed "Snake" game on your Nokia phone? India's mobile gaming industry has advanced significantly over the years, progressing from black-and-white mobile screens-based educational video games like Snake to Java games like Spiderman, Tanks Pro, and so on, to more high-end graphics games like Candy Crush, Temple Run, Prince of Persia, FIFA, and so forth.
The Indian mobile gaming market has greatly benefited from the advent of Android OS and a wide range of Android devices, and it has continually grown. In addition to the low cost of smartphones, the youth's increased digital acceptability, ongoing technological improvements, and the data revolution have all significantly contributed to the growth of mobile Cricket Betting in India (super-cheap data and Internet connectivity pioneered by Jio and other telecom providers).
India's burgeoning esports-loving mobile gaming community grew significantly even after the Indian government banned PUBG in 2020 due to data security concerns, with the majority of them moving on to other fight games like World777 Fantasy games, Garena Free Fire, Call of Duty, and so forth.
The demand for and popularity of mobile gaming and esports have surged as a result of the recent Covid-19 pandemic.
The amount of young individuals switching from casual and/or amateur mobile gaming to hardcore or midcore professional real-money gaming and/or game streaming has significantly increased recently. A sizable transition has also taken place away from MOBAs, real-money games, and esports and toward super casual games like Ludo and others.
Popular international gamers and industry participants, including Indian and foreign organizations, have already started to invest extensively in India's developing mobile gaming and e-sports sectors.
For instance, by releasing on mobile, globally popular games like Fortnite and Minecraft, which were previously popular only on PCs, were able to increase their audience reach and distribution. Popular PC game Apex Legends has announced the arrival of its mobile beta in India.
Even Indian athletes and businesses are keeping up; Qualcomm just revealed a 12-month partnership with Jio Games for their Esports Platform effort. Whether it's Coca-Cola, Oppo, OnePlus, or Airtel, Indian businesses have identified a new market opportunity in e-sports and are creating innovative strategies to use the mobile-centric competitive gaming and e-sports ecosystem in our nation.
Esports will surely be the "next big thing" for the whole online gaming industry as well as the Indian Sky Exchange Cricket Betting market. The best part is that, thanks to the accessibility and availability of low-cost smartphones and gaming hardware, as well as the increased accessibility of e-sports live streaming on mobile devices, even an aspiring gamer from a Tier III or Tier IV town in India can become famous and leave a lasting impression in the world of e-sports if he or she develops the necessary set of skills and makes sustained efforts.
In conclusion, the growth of mobile gaming has democratized e-sports and will do so going forward. With continued advancements and focused and coordinated efforts from all stakeholders, mobile gaming, which now dominates the Indian gaming market, can surely play a larger role and become a significant enabler and catalyst behind the potential future of esports in India.
Some athletes, for example, perform at their peak on days when there is little to no wind, while others put on a show whether or not there is wind. Because of this, it is crucial to choose people based on how their specific skills stack up against one another.
The choices you select for vice captain and captain can have a big impact on how the game turns out. Selecting the right captain and vice captain is crucial since in cricket, their points are doubled by two and one and a half, respectively. As a result, the decisions you make about these two players could determine whether you come out on top or whether you lose everything. If you choose your captain and vice captain carefully, you will have an advantage over your competitors.
In the world of fantasy cricket betting, the saying "class is permanent and form is temporary" is untrue. One of the most important components of fantasy cricket is staying up to date on how players performed in recent matches rather than choosing them based on their career stats or popular perception. Choosing players based on their career records is the opposite of this. The players' current forms serve as the key indication of how they will perform during the game because the points you get are directly proportional to how well the players you select perform throughout the match.

Chesterfield Sofas and More: Live a Luxurious Life!
Among the many different styles of sofa past and present, the chesterfield is perhaps the best-known and is certainly one of the most elegant. With a centuries-old history, the chesterfield sofa is as popular today as it was when it was first created in the early 18th century.
The first chesterfield was created by a skilled craftsman, who was commissioned by Lord Phillip Stanhope, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield. Stanhope was well-known for his fashionable tastes in clothing; he asked the craftsman to create "a piece of furniture that would allow a gentleman to sit upright in the utmost of comfort allowing sitting without wrinkling garments".
The ingenious craftsman created the chesterfield almost exactly as we see it today. The distinctive style features quilted upholstery held in place with deeply-placed buttons, rolled arms, equal arm/back height and a low seat base. If you are inspired by this timeless style then read on; we have got some exciting news for you...!
For a limited time, you can save a massive 50% across the DS4U range of chesterfield furniture, including chairs and stools as well as the timeless sofa. Whether you prefer a truly classic red leather or would rather go for something a little more contemporary, you're bound to find your ideal furniture on our website. Don't forget that we can offer finance plans subject to status!
Enjoy browsing our exciting range of chesterfield furniture and get in touch with our skilled technical team if you have any questions!

Q: Why is my consumer not called when run for the .NET generic host? Versions

*

*MassTransit 7.0.4

*MassTransit.RabbitMQ 7.0.4

*MassTransit.Extensions.DependencyInjection 7.0.4

I have created a Masstransit publisher and consumer. Similar to the example on the Masstransit video. However the consumer is not called.
Here the initial setup for the .NET host
namespace RedeliveryTest
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
        }

        public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .ConfigureServices((hostContext, services) =>
                {
                    services.AddMassTransit(x =>
                    {

                        x.AddConsumer<RedeliveryTest.MessageConsumer>(typeof(RedeliveryTest.MessageConsumerDefinition));

                        x.SetKebabCaseEndpointNameFormatter();

                        x.UsingRabbitMq((context, cfg) =>
                        {
                            cfg.Host("rabbitmq://localhost");
                            cfg.ConfigureEndpoints(context);
                        });
                    });

                    services.AddHostedService<Worker>();
                });
    }
}

The worker publishes the contract
namespace RedeliveryTest
{
    public class Worker : BackgroundService
    {
        readonly IBus _bus;

        public Worker(IBus bus, ILogger<Worker> logger)
        {
            _bus = bus;
        }

        protected async override Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken stoppingToken)
        {
            while (!stoppingToken.IsCancellationRequested)
            {
                await _bus.Publish(new Message { Text = $"The time is {DateTimeOffset.Now}" }, stoppingToken);
                await Task.Delay(1000, stoppingToken);
            }
        }
    }
}

The code for consumer
namespace RedeliveryTest
{

    public class Message
    {
        public string Text { get; set; }
    }

    public class MessageConsumer :
          IConsumer<Message>
    {
        readonly ILogger<MessageConsumer> _logger;

        public MessageConsumer()
        {
        }

        public Task Consume(ConsumeContext<Message> context)
        {
            return Task.CompletedTask;
        }
    }

    public class MessageConsumerDefinition :
        ConsumerDefinition<MessageConsumer>
    {

        public MessageConsumerDefinition()
        {
            EndpointName = $"test-message-queue";
        }
        protected override void ConfigureConsumer(IReceiveEndpointConfigurator endpointConfigurator, IConsumerConfigurator<MessageConsumer> consumerConfigurator)
        {
            endpointConfigurator.UseMessageRetry(r => r.Intervals(500, 1000));
            endpointConfigurator.UseInMemoryOutbox();
        }
    }
}

In the rabbitmq admin page (http://localhost:15672/) I can see that the publisher is active under the "exchanges" tab. But the queue "test-message-queue" is not created.
When I create a 2nd console app to host only the consumer then that consumer does receive the messages published by the first console application. Here the source for the 2nd consumer.
namespace ConsuleConsumer
{

    public class Program
    {
        public static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {

            var services = new ServiceCollection();

            services.AddMassTransit(x =>
            {

                x.AddConsumer<RedeliveryTest.MessageConsumer>(typeof(RedeliveryTest.MessageConsumerDefinition));
                x.SetKebabCaseEndpointNameFormatter();
                x.UsingRabbitMq((context, cfg) =>
                {
                    cfg.Host("rabbitmq://localhost");
                    cfg.ConfigureEndpoints(context);
                });

            });

            var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();
            var bus = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<IBusControl>();

            await bus.StartAsync();

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit");
            await Task.Run(() => Console.ReadKey());

            await bus.StopAsync();
        }
    }

namespace RedeliveryTest
{

    public class Message
    {
        public string Text { get; set; }
    }

    public class MessageConsumer :
        IConsumer<Message>
{
    public MessageConsumer()     {    }

    public Task Consume(ConsumeContext<Message> context)
    {
        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }
}

    public class MessageConsumerDefinition :
        ConsumerDefinition<MessageConsumer>
    {

        public MessageConsumerDefinition()
        {
            EndpointName = $"test-message-queue";
        }
        protected override void ConfigureConsumer(IReceiveEndpointConfigurator endpointConfigurator, IConsumerConfigurator<MessageConsumer> consumerConfigurator)
        {
            endpointConfigurator.UseMessageRetry(r => r.Intervals(500, 1000));
            endpointConfigurator.UseInMemoryOutbox();
        }
    }
}

With the 2nd console app, I can now see the queue in the rabbitmq admin page.
Question Why does the consumer when hosted in the .NET generic host not seem to work?

A: Since you're using an older version of MassTransit, the hosted service is required to start the bus. See this answer, or to summarize:
Before...
services.AddHostedService<Worker>();
Include:
services.AddMassTransitHostedService();
NOTE that this is not required if using MassTransit v8.

Logo inspired by wrought iron fencing and gates for the band EDEN.
In autumn of 2011, Matt Lidwin of EDEN wanted more than just a new logo or an album cover made. He needed an identity for the band that he could carry with to grow the band. Agreeing to take on the project, I begun seeking out a form that can identify with both the band members and the style of the music itself.
Taking cues from nineteenth century architecture, the logo was made with the idea of it being an aged and partially decayed building or from an unkept iron gate. EDEN's new logo also had an element in the center, called the Iron Bar (located between the "D" and second "E"), to make it stand out and give it some balance. This specific feature became so significant that another artist used it towards creating EDEN's non-typographic logo earlier this year. To coincidence with the Iron Bar logo, a new album was put together.
To coincidence with the Iron Bar logo, a new album was put together. For this album, Matt wanted it to look like aged paper with symmetrical ink blots as manically-composed writings and drawings layer the cover. With the new album in place along with a series of shirts bearing the new logo, Matt Lidwin and Kevin Organ made way to West Chester, PA to promote the band on a larger scale.
More importantly, the Iron Bar logo is used on all merchandise for EDEN. It stands out and resonates so much with their fans that some even have the Iron Bar logo as a tattoo.
