Theodore licvine's letter of resignation to the Student Publications Board will be found on page two of this issue.
Resignation of Theodore Levine as editor-in-chief of the English section of Campus Caravan because of what he called inability"to find a staff sufficiently willing to cooperate in the publication of Campus Caravan to insure its continued existence" was announced yesterday by Professor Leslie A. Nichols, Jr., chairman of the Student Publications Board.
In his letter of resignation to the board, Levine pointed out that the last few issues of the paper had been written and edited almost singlehand-edly by himself. This; he said, plus the pressure of senior college studies, had forced him to resign.
Despite the fact that Levine's resignation came just before publication of this issue of Campus Caravan, last minute publishing difficulties were overcome in time to insure its appearance. Members of the sophomore journalism class wrote and edited most of the material.
A meeting of the Student Publica-fions Board will be called as soon as possible to take action on Levine's resignation. Professor Nichols stated. Levine, himself a member of the board, will be invited to attend the meeting. Other members of the board, in addition to Levine and Professor Nichols, are Dean Bareau, Professor Fuad Sarruf. Samyr Souki, a representative of the Arabic section of Campus Caravan, and Harlan D. Conn, University bursar.
Levine has long been actively associated with AUC publications work. He was a member of the editorial staff of The Bore two years ago and he was instrumental in the organisation of Campus Caravan in the fall of 1937. He is a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Journalism at the coming May commencement.
Zaki Effendi Amin, instructor in drawing in the government section, has recently been elected a member of the Royal Drawing society, woiHd famous British art group. This is an honor bestowed upon only the most proficient In the art of drawing.
Zaki Effendi was formally notified of his election to the society last week.
Possibility of the roof of AUC's main building being used by government authorities for stationing an air-raid siren was revealed yesterday by officials of the bursar's office who wiere tntei-viewed by representatives of the Cairo Air Raid Precautions committee.
The University was approached more than two weeks ago and the government representatives were Wd that everything would be done to cooperate in the work of the Air Raid Precaution committee. It also is understood that the Lycee Prancais and the nearby Bahari buildings may be used for the erection of air raid sirens.
'The purpose of air raid sirens, it I is understood, is to warn civilian- of!
I an approaching night attack from the air while at the same time a master . switch is thrown to cut out all electric light in the city.
The strategic position of the AUC campus, located as it is in a highly developed business and residential area, makes the college buildings ideal for the nlacing of such a siren. University authorities have heard no further word regarding the government inquiry.
In the annual spelling contest, well on its way each class already has been examined from a list of one hundred words selected from the AUC mimeographed word sheets. The grading scale is : — P, O to 74; P, 75 to 84; C, 85 to 89; B, 90 to 95; A' 96 to 100.
The grade of each student will be computed as one third of the grade in English for the month of March.
This week each class is having its own spelling bee to determine those to represent it in the college contest. The first two of each government class and forms and the first three in each senior college class will meet in the finals. The final contest will be divided into four parts — a government bee, a junior college ^e, bee. A prize will be offered by the a Senior college bee and an all-college English Department to the winner of each of the bees and a cup with 'the the title of "Champion Speller of AUC" to the winner of the finals. The words are chosen from the AUC lists and when these are finished the list ii Meiklejohn's Spelling Book will be used.
^ The student hostel will be turned i into "a gambling den" of the most wicked proportions tomorrow night when members of the hostel union, in cooperation with short term tea. chers. conduct another one of their social evenings. Senior college coeds will be guests of honor.
The ^'gambling'' motif, ihowever, will not be carried to casino reality, as Mr. Delbert Sterrett, faculty member on the committee, says that chips will not cost a piastre, if that much. Students on the committee include Mohammed Saad Pawzl Roger Manchester, and Fayid.
Interviewing Miss Alice Carson, AUC's new American coed who arrived in Egypt only last week, proved a very easy job. She was so excited about her experiences in Egypt that she just gave vent to her feelings, punctuating her speech with Arabic expressions picked up from her brother.
She saw the pyramids for the first time on her way to Cairo by airplane. Mr. Cai-son, who accompanied her, was looking the other way, when suddenly he heard a faint shriek. He turned to see his sister, with round and amazed eyes, pointing at a mass below.
"Are those the pyramids?'' she asked excitedly.
"Yes, those are the pyramids", he replied so cooly that she wondered whether it was the airplane that made him feel that way.
After the pyramids Miss carson had to speak of "my first camel." She walked around it, looked it over for a long time, and when she found it made no response whatsoever she just sighed contentedly. 'Then she clambered into an '-ara-bee-ya'' which made her feel like a queen being taken for a drive. Although our slow carriages have impressed her favorably, our taxis, guaranteed rapid, just cause her to stare and wonder what impression they would make on people in New York City.
Miss Carson was lucky enough to see King Farouk awarded his degree of Doctor "Honoris Causa'' at the F^iad A1 Awal University the day after her arrival. During the ceremony she said she lotted at everything so hard that she had no time for speaking. 'The "sea of tarboushes" impressed her, and she wondered at the excited cheering that greeted the King on his arrival.
Miss Carson also has been taken, in the course of her brief residence in Cairo, to the Royal Opera House and the Continental-Savoy Night Club where she was surprised to find that we have "an American jazz band'i instead of the Egyptian music expected. She thinks people here do not look much different from those she is used to .seeing on Broadway.
The new coed already has acquired some Egyptian jewelry which, she says, is going to create a sensation among her friends at home. Egyptians, she believes, are very social, for she never has been to so many parties in such a short time. College life, too, appeals to her, although it is quite different from that in the States.
In short. Miss Carson thinks Egypt perfect!
I "Progress in Iran" will be the topic of M. Moadeb Zad6 at a tecture at 6 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in I Ewart (Memoria; Hall under the auspices of the Division of Extension.
Walking through the campus of the American University at Cairo the casual visitor is amazed at thl diver, sity of languages used by students.
Here, the soft, musical Italian... there, the noisy, inharmonious Greek... further away the heavy Armenian. But why is another group of young men fidgeting and speaking Arabic all at the same time? Oh... simply the good old Egyptian habit of combining the strength of speech with the grace of gestures!
A two-day vacation will be given to all AUC students next week in celebration of the wedding on Wednesday, March 15, of Eh-incp Shahpour of Iran, eldest son of the Shah of Iran, and Her Royal Highness, Princess Fawzia, eldest sister of King Farouk.
The official college vacation days have been announced by Dean Badeau as Wednesday, March I5, and Thursday March 16. The royal wedding falls on Egypt's Constitution day which already has been designated in the Student Handbook as an official college holiday.
In order to provide every oppiortun-ity to senior class students in the Senior College for satisfactory completion of their semester projects, the College faculty voted yesterday to give four days free from classes over a period of four successive weeks.
The free days, on which seniors will be expected to work on their graduation papers, will be March 20 Tuesday, March 28; Wednesday, April 13. The papers must be completed and handed In to the dean's office no later than Saturday, April 15.

Mrs. Cole is the wife of G. D. H. Cole who is equally world-renowned as an economist. Their published studies have covered various aspects of economic and social problems and they have written treatises singly and in collaboration with each other.
During their "spare" time, while not delving into matters pertaining to economics, Mr. and Mrs. Cole have succeeded in developing envious reputations for themselves as writers of detective stories. Some of their detective novels have been hailed as brill-ant — and baffling .
■Mrs. Cole already has delivered several lectures during her visit to. Cairo. She is in Egypt to visit her brother, Ormond O. Postgate, headmaster of the English Mission College for Boys.
An opportunity to study for one year in the United States at the American University, Bocated in Was-ington, D. C., is open to an Egyptian student whose credentials are approved by the Institute of International Education of New York City. Dean Jofn S. Badeau announced yesterday.

Calix Gets More Stimulus Wins

Home » Calix Gets More Stimulus Wins
PETALUMA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Calix, Inc (NYSE:CALX) today announced that Broadband Stimulus award winners South Central Telephone Association (SC Telcom) and Madison Telephone, LLC (Madison Telephone) have selected the Calix Unified Access portfolio to address their respective "Fiber Forward" initiatives. Each initiative will leverage advanced Calix fiber access technologies to deliver a superior broadband services experience to underdeveloped parts of their respective access networks. The three separate initiatives awarded to the two companies will together result in over $13.9 million invested in implementing advanced broadband services in southern Kansas.
"Access to broadband services is essential to the sustainability of communities across Kansas and furthering their economic development," said Steve Davis, general manager of SC Telcom and a member of the Kansas Broadband Advisory Task Force. "We felt that in the communities that we serve, it is imperative that the infrastructure that we choose to deploy be as 'future-proof' as possible. Our subscribers can range from the typical American small town family to the rancher running live auctions over the Internet, and with Calix fiber access solutions we know that we can deliver the broadband experience and competitive edge that our subscribers deserve. We expect these initiatives to be powerfully transformative to the communities that we are targeting, and believe Calix has the right portfolio of solutions to assure the broadband sustainability of these communities for the next decade."
"Even in rural Kansas, it was easy to see that it's becoming an 'all-video world,' and even easier to realize that Madison Telephone's aging copper infrastructure wasn't going to allow our subscribers to change with it," said Mary Meyer, chief executive officer of Madison Telephone. "Moving 'Fiber Forward' was clearly the right direction to meet the needs of our community, but we faced the challenge of addressing a service area with a varied topology, an uneven dispersion of subscribers, and an overall population density across the service area of less than three subscribers per square mile. The task was daunting, but Calix provided us with a fiber solutions portfolio that enabled us to leverage a variety of fiber technologies – matching the right technology to each deployment scenario – yet manage it as one network. It's the right network for us, and the right network for our community."
The rural subscribers included in these three initiatives across southern Kansas will be served via a combination of fiber access technologies, including gigabit passive optical network (GPON), Active Ethernet (AE), and ten gigabit Ethernet (10GE) transport technologies, capable of delivering broadband speeds to the residence or business of up to one gigabit per second (Gbps).
South Central will be using its Round 1 Stimulus funds, which consist of an $871 thousand grant and $3.5 million in private funds, to build an advanced GPON network to rural customers in the Lake City and Sun City, Kansas exchanges. The network, which will pass predominantly "unserved" residences and business in the area, will be engineered to enable data rates of over 100 megabits per second (Mbps) as well as reliable voice and business services to all premises passed. South Central will leverage the Calix C7 Multiservice Access Platform (MSAP) and a variety of 700GX/GE optical network terminals (ONTs) to deliver these services.
South Central will be using its Round 2 Stimulus funds, which consist of a $558 thousand grant, a $560 thousand loan, and $575 thousand in private funds, to build an advanced AE network in the "underserved" community of Attica, Kansas. This network too will be engineered to be capable of delivering over 100 Mbps to every home and business in the community. The Calix E7 Ethernet Service Access Platform (ESAP) will be leveraged along with a variety of 700GX/GE ONTs.
Madison Telephone, a small family-owned incumbent local exchange carrier located in southeastern Kansas, will be using its Round 1 Stimulus funds, which consist of a $3.5 million grant, a $3.5 million loan, and $763 thousand in private investment for its broadband infrastructure buildout in the Madison and Lamont, Kansas areas. Balancing the growing bandwidth needs of their community with the deployment realities of building a network to meet these emerging requirements, Madison is leveraging two different technologies – Active Ethernet in their served urban areas and GPON and Extended Reach GPON for rural subscribers. Each of these technologies is being deployed via the Calix E7 ESAP, which is also tying together their exchanges via 10GE redundant transport. At each subscriber premises, a Calix 700GX/GE ONT is being deployed that auto-detects the technology feeding it and provides support for H.248 voice over IP.
With today's announcement, aggregate Calix vendor selections by Broadband Stimulus award winners for "last mile" Broadband Initiative Program award has now reached twelve different projects representing $114 million in Stimulus-related grants, loans, and private investment for plant engineering, materials, labor, and other costs, including access equipment.

Bubble Masks vs. Peel-Off Masks: Which Should You Use?
We love having options, especially when it comes to face masks. From sheet masks to gel masks and everything in between, there are plenty of face masks that can accompany you during an all-day face masking session or at-home spa day. In this article, we dive into two types of face masks with growing popularity: bubble masks and peel-off masks. Read on for the differences between the two and how to determine which one is better for your skin!
BUBBLE MASKS VS. PEEL-OFF MASKS: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Hailing from the Korean skin care realm, bubble masks—when applied—gently begin to foam into bubbles. Aside from a tingling sensation, bubble masks can help remove impurities off your skin's surface via oxygenation for a revitalized look. Peel-off masks, on the other hand, cling to the skin and are peeled away in one piece. For that reason, many people find the removal process incredibly satisfying. Like all skin care products, both bubble masks and peel-off masks boast individual benefits depending on the specific formulation.
Bubble masks are a real treat. If you're a fan of cleansers that lather into a foam, you may enjoy using a face mask that does so as well. Sit back and enjoy the sensation of having a mini bubble bath right on your face. Don't forget to snap a picture!
Want to try a bubble mask? Check out some of our favorite bubble masks here!
Short on time? Reach for a peel-off mask. These formulas typically dry quickly and adhere to the skin. That means you could go about your tasks—whether that be washing the dishes or tidying up—without worrying about your face mask slipping off. If you're a fan of nose strips, chances are you'll be a fan of peel-off masks as well. There's no denying the instant gratification associated with seeing dirt and debris clinging onto a mask that was just pulled away from the skin.
Want to try a peel off mask? Start with the Garnier SkinActive Black Peel-Off Mask with Charcoal. As a reminder, charcoal has the ability to draw oil, dirt, and other impurities from the skin's surface like a magnet. So it comes as no surprise that this peel-off mask can reveal a fresh, healthy-looking complexion in just 10 minutes.

Today, we have been witness to acts of cowardice and terror. The London bombings are an unspeakable attack on the innocent and on a way of life.
On behalf of all Canadians, I have extended to Prime Minister Blair the condolences and the sympathies of our nation. We pray for those who have lost their lives, and for their families.
Canadian security forces are working closely with those of Great Britain. We stand ready to provide any assistance that may be required at this difficult hour and in the days and weeks ahead.
Our collective freedom has come under attack today by those who would use violence and murder to force extremism upon the world. We must and we will stand against these terrorists. We will do so together. And we will prevail.

Q: Find data node js using knex i just created a function to enter using google oauth. If the data has the same google user id, the data should not add with the same google user id, but what I created can't compare the same data.
Here's my function:
// Check user
    const existingUser = new User(database)
    await existingUser.getUserGoogleId({ google_user_id: profile.id })
    if (existingUser) {
        // eslint-disable-next-line no-console
        console.log('User already exists in our DB')
        // eslint-disable-next-line no-console
        console.log(existingUser)
        return done(null, existingUser)
    }

And here's my repository:
async getUserGoogleId(google_user_id) {
    const query = this.db
        .select(
            'id',
            'google_user_id',
            'username',
        )
        .from(TABLE_NAME)
        .where({
            google_user_id,
        })

    return query.first()
}

Can you guys tell me and maybe give some improvement from it? Thank's. sorry if I have a bad explanation

A: You are passing an object to your getUserGoogleId, then in the where clause you are creating a nested object.
The object that you pass to the where clause looks like:
{
  google_user_id: {
    google_user_id: 'some-id';
  }
}

All you need to fix this is pass the object it self:
async getUserGoogleId(google_user_id) {
  return this.db
    .select('id', 'google_user_id', 'username')
    .from(TABLE_NAME)
    .where(google_user_id)
    // --------^
    .first();
}

Tip: enable .debug() at the end of the query to check what query & params are passed to the DB.

Mr. French's career has been built around a very broad set of experiences in virtually all aspects of research, design, manufacturing, marketing and business management within the semiconductor industry. He is perhaps best known for his nearly twenty year focus on the proliferation of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology and solutions in leading successful initiatives at Texas Instruments and later Analog Devices. In addition, he spearheaded the transition of Cirrus Logic's business as its CEO, from a supplier of logic chips into personal computers to become a profitable industry leader in mixed signal audio components and solutions. More recently Mr. French contributed to the financial success of NXP Semiconductors as Executive Vice President of its Mobile and Computing Business Unit and later working on numerous fruitful business divestitures in China. He has demonstrated a constant emphasis on coaching and development of some of the industry's leading technologists as they have brought their ideas from early formulation to dramatic growth and financial success. A recurring theme in his success has grown out of the identification and implementation of fabrication process optimization ideas to drive the achievement of higher levels of product performance at lower cost in communication, audio, media and automotive applications. With a longstanding presence since 2001 in the China semiconductor marketplace as an investor, advisor, hands on manager and board director, he has recently launched Gaozhan Microelectronics Management Consulting Company there. One of his most recent projects has been to introduce a technology development and incubation center in China with an early focus on semiconductors for power electronics applications.


Red dinosaur bone engagement ring with a red garnet set in sterling silver. This dinosaur bone wedding ring or engagement ring is inlaid with 3 sections of red bone on each side of the center garnet. The 1.10 carat round Mozambique garnet is set almost flush, giving the engagement ring a sleek low profile. The garnet is a deep red color and looks great with red dinosaur bone inlay. The ring is 6.2mm wide at the top and tapers slightly down to 4mm at the bottom.
The dinosaur bone used in this engagement ring is usually referred to as "gembone". It is actually not bone but is a combination of minerals that have replaced the bone over time. Dinosaur bone is found in a rainbow of colors with the webbing color and cell size varying greatly from piece to piece. The varying cell size and colors creates some truly unique patterns and virtually one of a kind pieces of jewelry. Fossilized dinosaur bone can be composed of many different minerals including agate, jasper and calcite. The dinosaur bone color is determined by the combination of minerals present when the fossilized bone formed.
Special orders usually take 4 to 6 weeks to complete so please schedule your order to allow us plenty of time to create your rings and ship them to you.
Completion time: 4 to 6 weeks depending on the work load.
**I recommend upgrading to Continuum sterling silver for all wedding ring or heavy wear jewelry. It will be much more durable than standard sterling silver and should extend the life of your jewelry.

Number of children in foster care falls by almost 200
In: General, ireland
An amendment to the Adoption Act 2017 now recognises foster children, who were born to married parents, as eligible for adoption.
The new legislation, which was implemented in mid-October, opens a new door for children in foster care to be adopted. Before this, they were not permitted to be adopted, even if they had spent a significant amount of time living with one foster family.
According to figures provided by TUSLA, the Child and Family Agency, under the FOI Act, the number of children in the Irish foster care system has been decreasing since 2013.
In 2013, the overall number of children in foster care, whether based with a foster family, or living with relatives, was at 6,009. This was the highest it's been in the past five years.
The newest report show that as of 31st December 2016, 5,817 children were in the foster care system, a decrease of 192 since 2013, but still higher than in years previous to that.
Under this new act, unmarried couples who have been living together for more than three years will also benefit from this change, as they will be able to adopt a child together. Gay couples who are in a civil partnership can also now adopt.
This is one of the most significant changes in family law since the Children and Family Relationships Act 2015. The act addressed anomalies in family law and gave a new meaning to the word 'family'. It gave rights to grandparents, step-parents and gave other relatives new avenues in which they could seek custody and guardianship of a child.
However, domestic adoption figures have dropped significantly in the past decade or so, from 253 adoptions in 2005 to just 95 in 2016.
"Overall, adoption numbers had been in decline generally over the past number of decades, mainly due to a wide variety of social and cultural factors and changes in attitudes, and this has continued through the changeover," said Mark Kirwan of the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI).
The largest decrease in domestic adoptions between the years 2005 and 2016 was between 2010 and 2011. Figures dropped from 189 in 2010 to 39 in 2011.
The main reason for this was because the Adoption Act 2010 commenced in November of that year. The enactment of the Adoption Act 2010 made it a requirement that all applicants wishing to adopt in Ireland must be in possession of a valid Declaration of Eligibility and Suitability before an adoption order can be made.
It necessitated major changes in the assessment procedure, leading to a drop in orders granted immediately afterwards as new responsibilities were assumed by Tusla.
In 2016, a total of 95 Adoption orders were granted. The majority of these, 65, were made in step family adoptions.
While the majority of these were step family adoptions, nineteen adoptions were made in respect of children who had been in long term foster care. This was an increase of three since 2015 where there were sixteen foster care adoptions made.
2014 still had the highest number of foster care adoptions in the past five years, with 23, an increase of six from 2013.
It is expected that these numbers will rise over the coming years because of the modified Adoption Act.

Crucified

A badge does not validate an officer's representation of the laws of a republic. It only shows evidence of the people's trust in them to protect and serve.
When there is an element of law enforcement that fails to represent the law, it is the responsibility of the people to remove that flaw.
I detest how you sought my false arrest because of spoken and published words protected by the constitutional laws our founding fathers expressed.
The Methodists left me terrified
when all I had left was suicide.
As they pushed the Romans to leave me crucified
to suppress words that I had testified.
The truth will come in time.
You destroyed civil rights that were mine.
You violated the law to conceal the Methodist's crime.
You failed to protect children that were mine.

But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called 'Rabbi' by others."

Nadia Lutfi: Egypt's Last Living Legend Passes Away
"She now sits on the throne of Arab cinema as a landmark"
The Egyptian film industry might date back to the early 1900s, but its golden age—which was defined by the legendary characters played by Faten Hamama and Omar Sharif—has just lost one of its last living legends: Nadia Lutfi.
On February 4, Lufti passed away aged 83 after being admitted to a hospital in Cairo earlier this week. The veteran Egyptian actress died following complications from a respiratory-related illness.
Ashraf Zaki, president of Egypt's Actor's council, announced her death and reported that Lutfi's funeral would take place today in Cairo.
Born Paula Mohamed Shafiq to an Eygptian father and a Polish mother, Lutfi made her screen debut in 1958 at 24-years-old and went on to make a name for herself for standout roles on the silver screen, most notably in the film 'Al Nadara Al Sawdaa'.
"She now sits on the throne of Arab cinema as a landmark," said the former Egyptian Minister of Culture Dr. Ines Abdel-Dayem in a statement. "Nadia was the key to the success of some of the greatest immortal works."

Saudi Arabia arrests thousands of illegal workers
Gulf Saudi
Effect on businesses indicates depth of illegal recruitment
Published: November 05, 2013 13:36 By Habib Toumi, Bureau Chief

Manama: Public security forces in Saudi Arabia have arrested more than 4,300 foreigners staying illegally in three major cities in the kingdom hours after the end of a grace period granted to people staying illegally to regularise their situation.
"The security operations to apprehend illegal residents launched in public areas have so far resulted in the apprehension of 3,913 people," Nawaf Bin Nasser Al Bouq, the spokesman for the police in the Red Sea city of Jeddah, said. "We have drawn up plans about the way and where the campaigns should be conducted and we are implementing them in coordination with the competent parties," he said in remarks carried by local daily Al Eqtisadiya on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabian authorities had given all foreigners a three-month grace period to regularise their situation. The period was extended by four months in July amid warnings that the November 3 date would be final.
In late October, the authorities repeatedly said there would be no extension and warned that those who were staying illegally either because their resident permits or visit visas had expired or because they had been infiltrated across the borders into the vast kingdom would be arrested.
In the Eastern Province, Gharam Allah Bin Mohammad Al Zahrani, the spokesman for the police, said that hours after the expiry of the grace period, 399 people from various nationalities were arrested.
"The campaigns will be relentless and we warn Saudi nationals to avoid dealing in any way with those who are breaking the residence rules and regulations," he said.
In Al Taif, a city in the west of the country, the police said that 83 foreigners had been arrested for flouting the residence law.
However, while the police were reporting the numbers of residence rules violators they had arrested, schools and businesses were highlighting the dramatic effects of the campaigns.
Several businesses had warned that they would be severely affected by the decision, as many of their non-regular employees were people without proper official documents.
In the capital Riyadh, dozens of bus drivers did not show up to take female students to university amid concerns they would be arrested for breaking the rules for not being officially registered with the higher learning institution, local news site Sabq reported on Tuesday.
"We were forced to drive our daughters and sisters to the university since no bus showed up," parents were quoted as saying. "We informed the university about the situation, but officials there said that the bus drivers could no longer transport students as they were afraid they would be arrested for breaking the rules."
In Dammam, the main coastal city in the Eastern Province, Al Khazzan Avenue, a usually vibrant area where hundreds of unskilled foreigners gather, was eerily quiet with only few people showing up.
Reports said that expatriates preferred to avoid the public place and possible raids by the police looking for law violators.
In Hail, in the north of the country, Saudis said that for the first time in 30 years, they could not find electricians or plumbers easily.
"The few ones who were available after a long search hiked their fees from 30 riyals to 200 riyals," a Saudi man told Al Marsad news site.
In Jeddah, local reports said that hundreds of expatriates have been putting pressure on their consulates for help to leave the country after they failed to regularise their status.

Portugal Crash Out of World Cup Despite Win
June 26, 2014 / Sam Biggers	/ Leave a comment
Portugal 2-1 Ghana
World Cup Group G
Despite performing much better and defeating Ghana 2-1 in their final World Cup group stage match, Portugal has crashed out of the tournament, edged out on goal difference by the United States of America. A very tough task to overcome a 4-0 defeat in their opening match, the team never managed to fully recover, drawing the United States in their next match. The team can now look towards qualifying for Euro 2016, which should be much easier than in previous tournaments, due to the increase in number of teams at the European Championships.
Paulo Bento had to choose a team which was still ravaged by injuries. Beto again resumed his spot in goal in place of the injured Rui Patricio. In front of Beto were the usual center back pairing of Bruno Alves and Pepe, the latter of which returned to the team after his one-match suspension for his antics in the Germany match. Joao Pereira set up shop on the right of defense, and in the absence of Fabio Coentrao, Miguel Veloso moved to left-defender, a clear sign of attacking intent from Bento. In the midfield, Bento dropped Raul Meireles to the bench, leaving a middle three of Joao Moutinho, Ruben Amorim, and William Carvalho. On the wings were the usual suspects of Ronaldo and Nani, with Eder starting up top.
In stark contrast to the team's first two matches, Portugal performed quite brightly. One could say that they finally played to their potential. The game started brightly for the Portuguese, with many of the chances in the first part of the half going in Portugal's favor. Ronaldo was closer to his scintillating form which played a big part in Portugal qualifying. And it was the Real Madrid man who was behind many of Portugal's chances in the first half. Finally, Portugal was rewarded for their fine play just before the half. Some sublime skill from Joao Moutinho set up a cross for Miguel Veloso. His cross was whipped into the box, only for Ghana defender John Boye's botched clearance to loop into the back of the net. That own goal gave Portugal a well-deserved 1-0 lead coming into the half.
Knowing that a loss would eliminate them from the competition, Ghana pressed more in the second half. Despite chances coming to both sides, it was Ghana who struck next. A beautiful cross from Andre Ayew fell perfectly to the head of Asamoah Gyan. His header slipped past an out-stretched Beto and into the back of the next to level the scores at 1-1. From that point onward, Portugal pushed forward in search for a winner. Despite being thwarted a number of times by Ghana's goalkeeper, Portugal finally found their winner through their captain and talisman, Cristiano Ronaldo. Nani fired a cross into Ghana's box. A miscued header sent the ball straight up into the air. When the ball fell down, Ghana's goalkeeper, with his first mistake of the night, punched the ball directly to Ronaldo, who fired the ball home. After that goal, Portugal continued pressing, and could have extended the scoreline further, if it wasn't for heroics from the Ghana goalkeeper and profligacy in front of goal. That was how the game ended: a 2-1 Portuguese victory, but it was not enough for the team to progress in the tournament.

10-Man Portugal Decimated by Germany

Portugal 0-4 Germany
The Portuguese National Team had to suffer through very likely the worst start to a World Cup possible on Monday when they succumbed to a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Germans. Portugal have much work to do to salvage anything out of this World Cup, and with a number of players out of contention for the next games, the Seleccao is facing the toughest task in recent memory.
The game started off brightly for both teams, with the contest largely even. This changed on the stroke of 10 minutes. Joao Pereira was wrestling Mario Gotze for the ball in the box, and a foul was called against Joao Pereira. The foul was justified, and Thomas Muller dispatched the spot kick, giving Germany an early 1-0 lead. The goal did not seem to take the wind out of Portugal's sails, as the team continued to press, with Nani firing a shot narrowly over the German goal. But, alas, Germany proved too much for Portugal going forward. The Germans doubled their lead around the half-hour mark, with Mats Hummels heading in from a corner. And then, just minutes later an act of lunacy. Pepe held the ball in defense with Thomas Muller lurking. The German attempted to nick the ball from the Portuguese defender, only to go to ground from a presumed arm to the face. Apparently angry that Muller went to ground so easily, Pepe confronted the forward, who was sitting on the ground. Though there was slight contact, replays show that Pepe hit his head into Muller's. It was an easy decision for the referee. Pepe was given a straight red, and Portugal were down to 10 men. And predictably from that point forward, it was one-way traffic in favor of the Germans. And it was Muller who struck again, smartly getting in front of Bruno Alves' clearance to fire home and further pile on Portugal's misery.
Bad things that happened in the first half:
Hugo Almeida off injured
Pepe red card
Three goals scored against Portugal
Maybe the second half was better. Wrong.
Paulo Bento took a more conservative approach in the second half. At half-time, the boss took off Miguel Veloso and added Ricardo Costa to fill the void that Pepe left. Though this reduced Portugal's attack, it greatly repaired Portugal's defense, which had been exploited heavily by Germany in the first half to great effect. One can only expect but so much from a team playing with 10 men against one of the favorites to win the tournament. The Portuguese did try to get forward, and it was Nani who was at the heart of many of Portugal's plays in the second half, but the team could not manage to score. It was Germany who managed to score once more. A mistake from Andre Almeida, who had been substituted in for the injured Fabio Coentrao and a fumble from Rui Patricio gifted Muller another goal. The game ended an embarrassing 4-0 against Portugal, and as has been the case lately, there are more questions than answers.
Bad things that happened in the second half:
Fabio Coentrao injured
1 goal scored against Portugal
Rui Patricio, Joao Pereira, Pepe, Bruno Alves, Fabio Coentrao(Andre Almeida), Raul Meireles, Miguel Veloso(Ricardo Costa), Joao Moutinho, Nani, Ronaldo, Hugo Almeida(Eder)
So, where does this leave Portugal? Essentially, Portugal MUST win their remaining two group stage matches against the USA and Ghana. The USA beat Ghana, so they will likely be eager to beat Portugal to automatically qualify before having to face Germany. Ghana will be licking their wounds, and will likely be gunning for a win against the Portuguese after their loss against the USA.
For the next game against the USA on Sunday, Portugal will be without Pepe (suspended), Fabio Coentrao, Hugo Almeida, and Rui Patricio (injured). The team that will likely face the USA should look something like this:
Eduardo, Joao Pereira, Ricardo Costa, Bruno Alves, Andre Almeida, William Carvalho/Miguel Veloso, Raul Meireles, Joao Moutinho, Nani, Ronaldo, Helder Postiga

Steel Winds II expansion complete
By Paul Dvorak | April 9, 2012
Construction of Steel Winds I and II used a former industrial site. A traditional fossil-fueled facility in New York producing an equivalent amount of electric energy would consume over 115,000 barrels of oil or over 32,000 tons of coal per year.
First Wind, an independent U.S.-based wind energy company, has celebrated completion of its Steel Winds II expansion. Local leaders joined First Wind officials for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the project site, which was built on the shores of Lake Erie on the abandoned Bethlehem Steel mill site. With Steel Winds II in commercial operations, the 35 MW cumulative Steel Winds project has capacity to bring the state closer to its goal of 30% renewable energy sources by 2015.
Steel Winds harnesses the winds of the Great Lakes region, revitalizing local pride in a site that had been forgotten and neglected since Bethlehem Steel's closure in the early 1980's. The project will provide a source of significant revenue by adding an average of $190,000 in annual tax revenue to the surrounding communities and school districts. First Wind also makes $100,000 annual voluntary payments to the cities of Hamburg and Lackawanna's general funds.
"The Steel Winds project demonstrates that business can be innovative and successful when given the opportunity," said Hamburg Town Supervisor Steven Walters. "To return a long vacant Brownfield back into a productive piece of property is something everyone should be excited about."
Located south of Buffalo, New York, in the city of Lackawanna and town of Hamburg, the Steel Winds I project is situated on a 30-acre portion of the former Bethlehem Steel facility, which has been returned to productive use under the New York Department of Environmental Conservation Brownfield Cleanup Program. The 20 MW first phase went online in June 2007. As part of the 15 MW expansion, First Wind installed six additional 2.5 MW wind turbines on additional portions of the old Bethlehem Steel mill site.
"We are happy to see this expansion complete and the continued transformation of this site from a forgotten industrial expanse into a progressive and renewable source of clean energy," said Paul Gaynor, CEO of First Wind. During construction of the expansion, for which TVIG was the general contractor, Steel Winds II created about 100 jobs, and several local businesses saw an increase in business and revenue.

Gary Campbell says
The BIG news is that First Wind is being denied a permit for their Bowers Mountain project in Maine. The regulatory commission responsible for permitting determined last October that the project's scenic impact on numerous "Scenic Resources of State or National Significance" was simply too great to allow the project. Faced with an imminent denial, First Wind asked for and was granted 90 days to submit a sketch or a modified project that would have less scenic impact. After 90 days their attorney filed a letter which stated that "[First Wind] is not able to present a reconfigured project at this time." The Commission subsequently voted to continue with the preparation of the final denial order.

OLYMPIA - In the face of the opioid epidemic and its contemporaneous loss of life, the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney's Office announces that Thurston County has filed a lawsuit in the federal district court for the Western District of Washington against the largest manufacturers of prescription opioids in the United States, as well as the three primary wholesale distributors of prescription opioids in the country. The complaint alleges the Defendants violated the Washington Consumer Protection Act and the federal RICO statute, and that their conduct constitutes a public nuisance, negligence, gross negligence, and unjust enrichment under Washington law.
This lawsuit alleges that Thurston County has experienced significant harm because of the damage done by the large-scale distribution of opioid drugs through deliberate and systematic practices of providing false and misleading information to doctors and patients about the safety of prescription opioids over the last 20 years. As is true around the country, the rise of prescription opioids in Thurston County was followed closely by a dramatic rise in heroin use. For many, heroin replaced prescription opioids when they could no longer obtain prescription opioids.
The Prosecuting Attorney's Office partnered with Seattle based law firm, Keller Rohrback, to represent Thurston County in this lawsuit. Keller Rohrback is a nationally recognized law firm that routinely litigates against some of the largest corporate defendants in the country. In addition to Thurston County's suit, they have also filed suits on behalf of King County, Pierce County, Skagit County, and the Cities of Tacoma, Mount Vernon, Burlington, and Sedro-Woolley.

Instructions: G702®CW – 2021, Application and Certificate for Payment for Cost of the Work Projects without a Guaranteed Maximum Price
AIA Documents G702CW-2021, Application and Certificate for Payment for Cost of the Work Projects without a Guaranteed Maximum Price; G702®GMP-2021, Application and Certificate for Payment for Cost of the Work Projects with a Guaranteed Maximum Price; and G703®CW–2021, Continuation Sheet for Cost of the Work Projects are forms on which a contractor can apply for payment, and an architect can certify payments are due, on a project where the basis of payment to the contractor is the cost of the work plus a fee.
G702GMP-2021 should be used on cost of the work projects that have a guaranteed maximum price, while G702CW-2021 should be used on cost of the work projects that do not have a guaranteed maximum price.
G702CW-2021, G702GMP-2021, and G70®CW–2021 are not intended to replace AIA Documents G702-1992, Application and Certificate for Payment and G703-1992, Continuation Sheet. Rather, they are modified specifically tailored for cost of the work projects.
G702CW-2021, G702GMP-2021, and G703CW–2021 should be used on cost of the work projects where the parties intend to show, through the continuation sheet, how actual costs differ from estimated costs and where funds may have been shifted or reallocated between line items in each application for payment. The AIA does not publish a standard schedule of values form, although the G703-1992 and G703CW–2021 continuation sheets are often referred to as a schedule of values.
Like the G702-1992 and G703-1992, these forms require the contractor to show the status of the contract sum to date, including the total dollar amount of the work completed and stored to date, the amount of retainage (if any), the total of previous payments, and the amount of current payment requested. For each portion of the work, G703CW–2021 requires the contractor to show the original estimated value (column C1), the change in value from previous applications (column C2), the change in value in this pay period (column C3), and the current value (column C4).
For all document details, see the summary »
Completing G702CW-2021.
After the contractor has completed AIA Document G703CW-2021, Continuation Sheet, summary information should be transferred to AIA Document G702CW-2021. The contractor should sign G702CW-2021, have it notarized, and submit it, together with G703CW-2021, to the architect. The architect should review G702CW-2021 and G703CW-2021 and, if they are acceptable, complete the Architect's Certificate for Payment on G702CW-2021.
The architect may certify a different amount than that applied for, pursuant to Sections 9.5 and 9.6 of AIA Document A201®. The architect should then initial all figures on G702CW-2021 and G703CW-2021 that have been changed to conform to the amount certified and attach an explanation. The completed G702CW-2021 and G703CW-2021 should be forwarded to the owner.
Making Payment.
The owner should make payment directly to the contractor based on the amount certified by the architect on G702CW-2021. The completed form contains the name and address of the contractor. Payment should not be made to any other party unless specifically indicated on G702CW-2021.
Modifications. Particularly with respect to professional or contractor licensing laws, building codes, taxes, monetary and interest charges, arbitration, indemnification, format, and font size, AIA Contract Documents may require modification to comply with state or local laws. Users are encouraged to consult an attorney before completing or modifying a document.

Az utazó, amerikai televíziós sorozat (2007)
 Az utazó, amerikai–francia film (2010)


I'm not a book snob but at times I can find my enjoyment in Chic Lit to be a tad embarrassing. If we're going guilty pleasure it definitely has to be the entire Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella.
I will be the first to admit my taste in music is really bad. I just really enjoy 80s pop music and I'm partial to some 70s disco too. So pick anything cringe-worthy from those genres and we've got it covered.
15 year old me doesn't think it's a guilty pleasure, (and she's probably infuriated by me saying that it is) but it's a tad embarrassing to say I still know all the words to every Green Day song up to the American Idiot album. And I will sing them loudly and badly when I'm in the car.
I spend all of my money on bath bombs, weird pieces of acrylic jewellery and small plastic dolls. Enough said.
I actually have a really good taste in film. But this is a guilty pleasures tag so I'm going to put it out there that I've seen Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging at least ten times. And I still enjoy it as much as the day I was introduced to it…much to my partners dismay I am sure!
I don't actually have any games on my phone, so I'll have to skip this one!
Much like Meg I'm going to say Buzzfeed is my guilty pleasure. I definitely take too many of the quizzes on there but it's a life saver on my long commute to work. Plus who doesn't want to know what 2000s pop princess they are based on a song selection?
Well that was fun! If you'd like to take this Q&A please feel free to do so and drop me a comment so I can go and have a read of it too!

The most important part of any child's outfit is their shoes. Too tight, too loose, too narrow, too wide – any of these things can cause damage to growing feet that can cause trouble even into adulthood.
Because children's feet grow so fast, you should get their feet measured every time you buy them new shoes, particularly school shoes, which they'll most likely wear more than any other. Indeed, it is estimated that the average child will take one million steps in them.
Because less than a third of children fit a regular size, consider shoe ranges with half sizes and different widths. Never go bigger for them to grow into – poorly fitting loose shoes can cause blisters and don't support growing feet. Conversely, don't take the attitude of waiting to buy your child a new pair until you absolutely have to. Shoes that are too tight can be agony and can cause foot deformities including bunions. Until they're four of five years old, children grow two full sizes a year on average – and even after that, it works out about a shoe size every year.
Think carefully about the particular stage of your child's development – are they crawling, cruising, wobbly walking, confident walking, stomping (toddlers) or properly walking (starts around the age of three and five). Their shoes need to provide the right weight, support and flexibility to cope with the task in hand.
Durability matters. You don't want your child's shoes to be worn out before they grow out of them. And think about how easy the shoes are to get on and off – it's no good buying lace-up shoes, for instance, if they can't even tie a bow confidently.
Your baby's feet can grow up to 3 sizes in their first year.
Choose shoes specially designed for crawling /cruising to ensure the right support.
Wash and carefully dry your baby's feet every day, and trim toenails regularly.
Choose socks made from natural fibres, like cotton, to help keep feet cool.
The team at Clarks are experts in foot care and on hand to help with whatever you need.
At Teepee we request that you provide supportive indoor and outdoor shoes for your child. This can be slippers with hard bottoms or sturdy shoes for indoor use and suitable sturdy shoes or wellie boots for outdoor use.
But, my child LOVES wellies?
Wellies are essential for splashing in puddles and wet days however we ask that wellie boots are used just for the garden as these are not suitable for indoor use, or for wearing for long periods of time.


2018 split release. On Toteninsel, two most distinct names in German black metal join forces to put their own spin on a famous painting: Farsot and ColdWorld. Ever since their 2007 debut IIII, which succeeded the yet "suicidal" demo 042103freitod Thuringia-based Farsot have dodged the genre's common themes and trappings to develop a unique aesthetic for themselves. Steeped in it, the quintet's current, fourth album Fail∑Lure is a showcase in stylistic bravery while still not above honoring their roots. An associate of the group since long, Georg Bˆrner was and is the sole driving force behind ColdWorld, an at times ambient-oriented projection of black metal whose icy soundscapes have unfolded in a comprehensive discography. The origins of Toteninsel lie way back, not least because of it's subject matter - Swiss Symbolist artist Arnold Bˆcklin's most famous and equally mysterious painting of the same name ("Isle of the Dead"), the first version of which was created in 1880. About ten years ago, Farsot recorded a song inspired by the image for a compilation that eventually did not come to be. Thus, the composition ended up in the proverbial drawer until recently; in revising their uncovered concept song, Farsot felt keen on writing another one with Toteninsel as it's theme, and as it turned out the musicians found an entirely new facet of their so-far established sound. The plan to release a single quickly expanded when Georg Bˆrner showed interest in setting the painting to music as well. The result is an exceptional split ep, with both acts offering exclusive material while allowing for elements added to one of their two tracks from the respective other. Farsot's contributions focus earth as an element, where's ColdWorld's are dedicated to water.

In Heidelberg there were relatively few infections with the corona virus. Heidelberg also has a globally respected university hospital with capacities that were only used to a fraction of the possible number of beds, even during the corona expansion in March and April 2020. Heidelberg therefore came through the crisis relatively easily.
The current situation picture of the Corona situation can be found on the city's website.
Corona-Warning-App
Please install and activate the official Corona Contact Tracing App from the german Robert Koch Institute!
It is a trustworthy and transparent open source app whose functions can be checked by anyone. Even the otherwise extremely critical Chaos Computer Club had nothing to complain about with the RKI's corona warning app.
The app exchanges random codes with mobile phones in your immediate vicinity, which change every 15 minutes. Daily it queries the project's server for the random codes of the people who have voluntarily registered their codes after the presence of a proven corona infection.
The comparison then takes place within the app on your mobile phone. If there is a match, the app will show this and leave the further steps to you. At no time are names, addresses, telephone numbers or the like transmitted - only anonymous random codes.
By the way: The Corona warning app also works cross-border with the apps of 19 other European countries!

Rep. Biggs asks for '100 percent' audit of Maricopa County ballots
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) on Friday co-signed a letter to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors asking for a "100 percent" audit of the county's votes, despite the margin between the two presidential candidates being outside that which would automatically trigger a recount.
This comes after Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Kiley threw out a GOP lawsuit on Friday that claimed "potentially thousands" of Arizona voters were disenfranchised on November 3, alleging that election workers had overridden ballots with possible "overvotes." This occurs when voters mark more options than allowed in a particular race on their ballots.
Friday's letter, also co-signed by Arizona GOP Reps. Paul Gossar and David Schweikert, cited affidavits from hundreds of voters claiming that their ballots were discounted.
These affidavits, however, were dismissed by Judge Kiley, saying, "The fact that your process for obtaining these affidavits yielded affidavits that you yourself found to be false does not support a finding that this process generates reliable evidence."
"This is concerning," Kiley added.
The letter also used the narrow vote margin between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden to justify an audit, despite the margin not being narrow enough for a recount.
Despite this loss, Biggs' team insists that the legal challenges against the election results continue in Arizona, saying that the Dominion Voting System software has raised red flags in other parts of the country. Allegations surrounding this software have received heavy scrutiny.
When asked for a comment, a spokesperson for Congressman Biggs said that "The overvotes lawsuit wasn't the only thing that has been raised in Arizona" and that "Maricopa County appears to have used the Dominion service for ballots, and as you know, that has raised some red flags in other parts of the country."
"As Rep Biggs said in his statement: let's leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of accountability and transparency," the spokesperson added.

Antonio de Paz was a sculptor from Salamanca who was born at the end of the 16th century and died in 1647. His work is prominent in Salamanca's churches and cathedral.

Career
In whose workshop Antonio de Paz commenced his training is not known, but at that time sculptors of the Plateresque school were still active in the city, but also that sculptors in Salamanca at the end of the 16th century were being influences by the mannerism of Juan de Juni and Italian Renaissance. These influences, along with those of the Toronese sculptors Esteban de Rueda and Sebastián Ducete, are identifiable in his style.

The earliest known work of Antonio de Paz are two painted tablets in the sacristy of the New Cathedral, dating from 1615. That same year, he created the figures of the two thieves and six angels for the sculpture of the Deposition for the Brotherhood of the True Cross (Spanish: Vera Cruz). In 1617, the monastery commissioned Pedro Hernandez and Antonio de Paz to create a portable Holy Sepulchre, featuring an angel and the three Marys, for the Easter Sunday procession.

In 1621, he was engaged to create carvings and reliefs for the altarpiece of the parish church of St. Martin of Tours, except for the central relief with scene of San Martin sharing his cloak, which was undertaken by Esteban de Rueda. This altarpiece was completed in 1635, but destroyed by fire in 1854.

From 1627, he received a number of commissions for the New Cathedral, stating with images of St. Gregory of Ostia and St. Augustine for the altarpiece of the Chapel of Our Lady of Morales. In 1628 he created the figures of St. James and St. Teresa for the second chapel on the north ("gospel") side of the cathedral, and the principal martyrdom scene in the Chapel of St.Lawrence. The following year he was tasked, along with Francisco Sanchez, with carving the tombs of Antonio Corrionero (Bishop of Salamanca) and his brother Alonso Ruano Corrionero in the Chapel of Our Lady of Truth. He was also responsible for image of the Virgin of the Carmen in the Chapel of Christ of the Battles.

In 1639, he created the image of Saint Teresa in León Cathedral.

For the Convento de San Esteban, he carved all of the sculptures in the sacristy, the image of St. Joseph located on plateresque entrance portal and a statue of St. Peter Martyr.

Antonio de Paz's greatest surviving work is the altarpiece of Church of the Holy Spirit (Iglesia de Sancti Spiritus), Salamanca, commissioned in 1644 and assembled by the sculptors Andres de Paz and Juan de Rojas after his death.
