Corrupt Scotland: John Swinney and the Crown Office
Sunday, 7th March 2021
Scottish public life is currently mired in corruption. Comparisons are being made to tin-pot, third-world dictatorships and banana republics. There are calls to drain the swamp.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney has faced, and will again face, a vote of no confidence in the Scottish Parliament over his decision to block the release to the Salmond Inquiry of information embarrassing to the regime.
The present Lord Advocate, James Wolffe QC, the most senior law officer in Scotland, has been called upon to "consider his position", which means to resign, by the former First Minister Alex Salmond, due to the failure of his leadership in the Crown Office — Scotland's state prosecutor.
Against this background, we feel compelled to release the following item of information into the public domain. It forms part of a large, vitally important case which involved a good man and loving father having his disabled son removed from his care by state officials in what we can only describe as an abduction. The details of this case are currently the subject of discussions with Police Scotland and other state agencies and must remain, for the moment at least, out of the public eye.
As Mr Swinney had been involved for many years in the case and had previously assured the family of his support, they called him as a witness in the guardianship case concerning the young man.
Mr Swinney refused to attend.
The family therefore cited him to attend and had the necessary notice served on him at his parliamentary premises, Holyrood.
The following is their description of the events in court on the day when John Swinney, Member of the Scottish Parliament, Education Secretary for Scotland and Deputy First Minister, was due to give evidence as a witness for a family fighting to keep their son.
At the opening of the Case, on the morning of the 3rd December 2015, Mr. Adam Heath (Solicitor for Perth and Kinross Council) called for a "Point of Order", which was approved by Sheriff Wood. Mr Heath stated that he had received a phone call from a third party asking him if he could assist in getting one of the witnesses out of giving evidence. When asked who this witness was, he said he was one of the witnesses for the parent attempting to recover the son.
When asked who the third party was, [the solicitor] stated that it was the Lord Advocate for Scotland, Mr Frank Mulholland. Finally, when asked a second time who the witness was, Mr Heath said it was Mr John Swinney, Deputy First Minister of Scotland.
The Sheriff stated that this action would not be allowed in his Court but also prevented the recording of the Point of Order by the Verbatim Reporter.
What can we conclude from this courtroom drama?
Frank Mulholland, when Lord Advocate, contacted the lawyer representing a local government body in a civil case. He then attempted to alter the witness list for the applicant in this case, without that party's knowledge or consent. This interference in a court case seems to have been undertaken to satisfy the wishes of a fellow cabinet minister, John Swinney. After all, the Lord Advocate is not just the Scottish Government's chief legal officer but is also a member of the executive that runs the country.
This is disturbing and leaves us with further questions.
Does Frank Mulholland (now Judge Lord Mulholland) make a habit of interfering with court cases and tampering with witness lists?
Does John Swinney, or for that matter Nicola Sturgeon or any other Scottish cabinet minister, routinely use the Lord Advocate to influence the conduct of court cases which they feel to be inconvenient, bothersome or personally threatening?
Just what is the relationship between the present and previous Lords Advocate and the Scottish National Party administration? How close is it? Is there any separation of powers at all?
And finally, just how corrupt is Scottish public life?

Through its promotion of excellence in science, the Royal Society plays a major role in the economic and cultural life of the nation. The support it provides to our most talented scientists enables them to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges including food, water and energy security, population growth and climate change.
The respected membership of the Society, including 80 Nobel Laureates, combined with its impartiality and independence, means that it is highly influential in informing government policy and the wider public on key scientific issues. Engagement beyond the research community is a key goal, and the Society's programme of education, events and communication is a growing area of focus.
This is an opportunity to make a contribution to the future of a world-renowned institution at the forefront of scientific endeavours in the 21st century. The Society's Development team focuses on raising funds from major philanthropists, charitable trusts and corporate donors. We are looking for a talented Development Co-ordinator with an interest in fundraising and administrative experience to play an active part in supporting a busy and growing team.
The role will report to the Research and Stewardship Manager and will work closely with our Director of Development and wider Development team. The successful candidate will have a keen interest in understanding more about fundraising and the work of the Royal Society. Experience of working within a fundraising team is desired but not essential for this role. You will have some administrative and database experience, as well as experience of being a proactive member of a busy team.
If you have the skills and experience required for this role, we will be delighted to hear from you. Please submit a copy of your CV and a cover letter explaining why you would like to apply for this position.


So, what are these rules all about?
First of all, the surfer closest to the peak is always the one that gets the priority. So, if you are paddling for a wave breaking to the right, and another surfer on your left is also paddling for it must let him or her get the wave.
Don't drop in to another surfer's wave, don't ruin for others because you don't want others to do it for you.
Don't be rude, you can select the best position in the line-up but don't paddle around and always think that all waves are yours. There are many surfers in the water so be patient, there are coming more waves.
If you kick out or fall try to control your board, if the board hits you or another surfer it can be really bad consequences. Communicate with other surfers in the water, if you and another surfer is sitting in the middle of the peak and the wave open to both sides, you should tell each other's if you are going left or right.
Always remember to always protect yourself and others. You can also use your surfboard to protect yourself in the water.
Also respect the beach and the locals, don't leave garbage on the beach or throw it in to the water.
Mistakes happens to all and if you do something "against the rules" just apologies and for sure everything will be fine!
Just try to remember these simple rules in the water so everyone can have fun and enjoy the surf, because at the end surfing is all about having fun!
Stay safe and enjoy the waves!

Biden urges Trudeau to be a leader for rules-based world order
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden steps off his plane in a snow storm upon his arrival at the Ottawa International Airport in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, December 8, 2016.
CHRIS WATTIE/Reuters
Steven Chase
Published December 8, 2016 Updated December 8, 2016
U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that he must be a champion of the "liberal international order" at a time when rules-based global relations and openness are under attack.
The always jovial U.S. politician, in Ottawa for a two-day visit, was the star guest at a Canadian state dinner Thursday.
His opening remarks – full of bonhomie and self-deprecating humour – turned serious near the end when Mr. Biden, whose Obama administration is due to leave office in six weeks, called on his Canadian host to be a global leader for the system of rules and norms that have existed since the late 1940s.

Analysis: Trudeau and Trump a study in contrasts
This has come under threat with recent events, from Russia's 2014 invasion of Ukraine and annexation of Crimea, Britain's decision to quit the European Union and the recent success of political movements in Italy who are pushing for that country to leave the euro zone.
Mr. Biden did not mention the surprise victory of populist Donald Trump in the November U.S. presidential elections. But Mr. Trump has said he plans to withdraw the United States from a pan-Pacific trade deal that would have established North American trading rules in Asia as a counterweight to Chinese influence in the region.
Canada, by contrast, just completed a trade deal with the European Union.
The U.S. Vice-President warned that Europe is now in trouble.
"There are periods [in history] where the number of genuine leaders … is in short supply and where they are in heavy supply," Mr. Biden said, pausing for a moment.
"I have never seen … Europe engaged in as much self doubt as they are now," added Mr. Biden, who has been in U.S. politics for four decades.
"The world is going to spend a lot of time looking to you Mr. Prime Minister as we see more and more challenges to the liberal international order than any time since the end of World War Two," he said. "You and Angela Merkel," added Mr. Biden, a reference to the German chancellor.
"There is a lot of soul searching going on in Europe and you saw some of it in my country."
He said he remains confident that North America can help the world get through this period, citing current Canada-U.S. co-operation. "It's going to take men like you Mr. Prime Minister," he said, noting leadership will be needed to ensure that international relations continue "within the context of a liberal economic order."
"We're standing together right now facing down [Islamic State] in Syria, in Iraq, bolstering our allies in Eastern Europe, particularly Latvia, combatting climate change … the most consequential issue of our generation," the Vice-President said.
"Vive le Canada … because we need you very badly."
Mr. Biden recalled how former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, Justin's father, consoled him over the death of his first wife and child. "Your dad not only was decent and honourable but he reached out and commiserated with me about the loss of my wife and daughter."
Mr. Biden's visit to Ottawa continues Friday when he will attend a welcoming ceremony on Parliament Hill, meet privately with Mr. Trudeau and then attend a roundtable discussion with the Prime Minister, provincial premiers and aboriginal leaders from across Canada who are here for a first ministers meeting.
It's unclear what Mr. Biden hoped to achieve with a visit to Ottawa in wintry December in the lame-duck period of the Barack Obama administration.
Speaking before the dinner Thursday, Mr. Trudeau sold the visit as a chance to keep Canada-U.S. ties on the front burner.
"It's important to keep talking about the strong relationship between Canada and the U.S., and all the things we can do to continue to make sure that it benefits both of the citizens of our great countries."
Mr. Biden's farewell visit comes amid a pivotal time as the relationship between Ottawa and Washington threatens to grow chilly.
A new Canada-U.S. softwood lumber war has begun, with hefty duties on Canadian shipments expected to hit within months – measures that will affect thousands of Canadians. Mr. Trump has threatened to rip up NAFTA – the incoming right-of-centre Trump administration is also unlikely to find much common ground on fighting climate change with the Trudeau government. The New York Times calls Scott Pruitt, Mr. Trump's pick for the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, a "key architect of the legal battle against Mr. Obama's climate-change policies."
Conservative MPs had raised concerns that the visit by the Vice-President of the departing Obama administration could jeopardize relations with the incoming administration.
In an interview with CNN Thursday, Mr. Biden played down the chances he could have won the 2016 presidential election if he had been the Democratic Party candidate, saying the Republicans would "probably have eaten me alive" if he had decided to run.

Woman Dies After Going Overboard on Cruise Ship, Coast Guard Finds Body
A woman has died after going overboard on a cruise ship traveling from the Bahamas to Florida.
A rep for the U.S. Coast Guard tells TMZ they were alerted about a 36-year-old female who'd gone overboard on the MSC Meraviglia early Thursday morning about 18 miles off the coast of Port Canaveral in FL.
From there, we're told the Coast Guard sent out both a helicopter and search boat to find the woman … and her body was located a short time later.
A passenger onboard tells us the ship was traveling from Ocean Cay in The Bahamas to Port Canaveral when the incident happened.
According to the passenger, a staffer on the cruise ship said the woman jumped … but we have not yet confirmed that info.
A rep for MSC tells us, "Unfortunately, despite the rapid rescue operation, the passenger sustained fatal injuries. We are offering our full support to authorities as they investigate this matter. We are deeply saddened by this incident and offer our sincerest condolences to the family and those affected."
Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans
It was earlier this month when passenger James Michael Grimes fell off a Carnival Cruise and spent 20 hours in the ocean until he was rescued. Grimes claimed he'd been drinking the day of his accident, but didn't remember how much he had.

Q: Debugging CString in C++ 64 Bit Managed Environment Visual Studio 2012 I am pushing some older code written in Visual Studio 2008 into Visual Studio 2012. The code is MFC, /CLR, and now 64 bit. When debugging the code I found something most peculiar.  When looking at the value of a CString variable I'm met with this mess:

If you look at the variable stuff I was expecting it to have the value of "stuff" but instead I think it's pointing to it's memory address.
I've been able to recreate the problem within Visual Studio.  If I create a new project in 32 bit works fine, If I create a new project in 32 bit and managed (CLR) it works fine. If I create a new project in 64 bit it works fine. However if I create a project in both 64 bit and managed the following occurs.
I've gone through just about every Tools->Options->Debugging option available and am coming up short.  I'm hoping the hivemind has some ideas.

Karaoke-heads show off in the largest private room at Voicebox.
If you've seen Bill Murray belt out "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding" in Lost in Translation , you'll have a sense of Voicebox's style. The lounge's modest entrance opens onto an austere lobby graced by a lonely bar and six doors leading to the boxes, or singing rooms, which vary in size, accommodating anywhere from six to thirty guests apiece.
On my first visit I spy a fellow in an enormous blond wig manning the mike in the biggest studio, but it's unclear whether he's channeling Dolly Parton or Twisted Sister. A waitress ushers our party of eight into a smaller room, where three walls are lined with wooden benches and a big-screen TV commands our attention. After some simple instructions, we're ready to rock the box.
The libations and the food are slightly less exciting. Right now, Voicebox offers only beer and wine—including, not surprisingly, rice wine, otherwise known as sake, which is great for keeping your voice supple. The food runs along the predictable lines of Costco-level pot stickers, shu mai , and sushi.
Even so, the fun trumps Voicebox's shortcomings: our giddy (and hoarse) little band is forever bonded over its triumphs and gaffes, which is just what karaoke should do.

How Religious Representation Erodes Democracy in Lebanon
posted on April 7, 2020 by Brian Davis
Utah State University Tagged With: Lebanon, protests, Religion
After decades of sectarian rule, the people of Lebanon have had enough. Since the end of the First World War, and the beginning of the French presence in the country, they have been living in a sectarian state that is designed to give powers to different religious groups rather than the people. The citizens of Lebanon are not choosing their leaders, the religious sects are giving power to their religious cohorts at the expense of other groups, and there is not an even playing field in Lebanese politics. This sectarian government violates the most basic rule of a democracy: a democracy must be a government for the people, by the people.
After the Lebanese civil war, which was fought to get rid of the disproportionate majority that the Christians had in government, the government was set up to give all religions in the country power in government. The President must be a Maronite Christian, the Prime Minister a Sunni Muslim, and the Speaker of Parliament a Shia Muslim [3]. Beyond that the parliament has allocated the seats in proportion to the size of the religions in Lebanon. The only people in government that are directly elected by the people are the parliamentarians. The Parliament chooses the president, who chooses the prime minister, who then choose a cabinet [3]. The politics, debates, and agreements that go along with this choosing the new administration often lengthens the amount of time it takes to transfer power and end up leaving the citizens without leadership for years at a time, most recently leaving the country without a president for 2 years [3]. The people are able to vote for their parliamentarians, but the informal institutions that are in place give the people weak leadership that is chosen through deals and not democratic processes.
Once the politicians have finally agreed on who is in power the different sects begin to divide out the jobs and contracts to build a well-functioning society: not to the most qualified or the people who can offer the best deal, but their friends and people in their denomination. One such example is the 2015 garbage crisis. After years of incompetency, the streets all over the nation were covered in garbage. The government commissioned new landfills and gave the contracts to Jihad al-Arab and Dany Khoury [5]. Al-Arab is a Sunni Muslim related to the prime minister's inner circle, and Khoury is a Christian who is close friends with the president [5]. Al-Arab has added water to the trash that he takes into his landfill and Khoury is dumping the trash that he receives directly into the Mediterranean [5]. After spending millions of tax-payer dollars, the leadership chosen through religious bargaining rather than elections have chosen to give contracts to friends and family rather than award the contracts to competent members of the citizenry. Fortunately, the trash has left the streets of major cities like Beirut. Unfortunately, that same trash now floats aimlessly in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
This blatant corruption does not just leave them with garbage in the streets, they are also unable to enjoy a stable power grid. In fact, many of the public utilities and services are either not properly funded or are underperforming. Blackouts, which can only be stopped by fuel powered generators, are a normality since the owner of one of the fuel importers is the leader of the Druze minority [5]. For years money has been poured into useless ventures like these while money is being sucked from vital enterprises that help the people. In 2019, over 100 forest fires raged in the country causing hundreds to evacuate and dozens to be hospitalized [2]. Lebanon was forced to call for help from Cyprus, Jordan, and Greece after it was revealed that their planes were not in working condition due to lack of funds. While the firefighting fleet was grounded, the riot police vehicle was in perfect working condition and were able to help fight the fires, perfectly showing where the government's priorities were [1]. The unelected administration continues to ignore the needs of the people and instead chooses to grow its power. The way the government handles its many crises shows how the many sects in the government would rather grow their power than heed to the interests of the people and provide the basic needs that a government should provide.
The protesters of Lebanon currently operate without leadership due to fear of attack from the ruling parties, particularly Hezbollah. Hezbollah is a Shia political party that is currently a part of the ruling coalition of Lebanon. Throughout history Hezbollah has used force to get its way and to silence opposition. In 2005, Hezbollah killed opposition forces and took over the streets when they were losing control over communication and Lebanon's airports [4]. The force parties in control use to silence opposition, paired with government resources going to supporters of their cause, creates an uneven playing field in politics. The people and parties who directly oppose the ruling parties are not able to properly assemble and they do not have equal access to resources that would be necessary to give them a fair shot at political positions.
The government proposed new taxes that would fill in the gaps in funding, but the people had had enough and went to the streets to express their views. The very faces of the Lebanese government are not democratically elected representatives of the people, instead they represent the many groups that infect politics in Lebanon. Those same people focus on growing power for their sects often at the expense of other groups including the constituents that they were chosen to represent. and the rampant violence against opposition and corruption means that opposition parties do not have equal access to positions of power. It is no surprise that the people have been protesting for months, they were promised a democracy and instead they have been given a sectarian regime.
Rostyslav Kozlov
First of all, you did really great job analyzing a very distant and little-known country. I like how you first give us some kind of idea about the political structure of Lebanon and only then described their path of democratic erosion. However, I think that not all the examples of backsliding you described are related to the religious representation. For example the 2015 garbage crisis. The practice of giving contracts not to qualified people but to the friends and relatives of current people in power is very common in the developing Eastern European countries, which are pretty secular. But overall that was very unique and interesting information. If not for this post I would never know about that situation in Lebanon.

Q: find a formula for the square of the product of two determinants

I was wondering how one could come up with the matrices described in the solution below, if say one were to solve the above problem for the first time?


George passed away yesterday at home after a battle with cancer, he was 63.

Fashion is a complex and time-consuming practice, where the spoils of success are reserved exclusively for those who are truly passionate about the culture. Fads, trends, societal statements, all of these are found in the popularly worn clothes of the era. A company that has truly sung for its supper, in terms of staying around for decades, is Gap. Coming from us, we respect Gap's ability to stay relevant for as long as they have, finding humble beginnings in the massive year of 1969. If you were a fan of Even Stevens growing up, or you're a history buff, you'd know that 1969 is also the same year man finally went to the moon. In order to assert that they were also a big part of the historical year (which is arguable), as part of their new campaign, Gap put their logo up against a rocket ship heading into the unknowns of space. The problem (besides Gap saying they are as relevant as the moon landing)? It's not the right rocket ship.
This certainly blew up a bit in the Twitter-verse, and probably got Gap thinking about hiring a resident historian for the rest of their retro-campaign ad endeavors. Naturally, Gap responded with the only possible cover-up imaginable: claiming the rocket was more of a metaphor for their brand rather than a direct comparison to the historic moon landing event. It's okay, Gap, everyone has a few gaps here and there in their random trivia knowledge.

Q: Is there a special form of UPDATE statement that does nothing but checks as valid SQL? I have a table with 2 columns (both integer) and the primary key consists of both of these columns. My application does not execute an UPDATE statement on this table and I am using PostgreSQL.
But my application creates INSERT,DELETE and UPDATE prepared statements for all the tables by using the particular table info in advance. For this specific table, WHERE clause for the UPDATE statement contains these 2 columns but SET clause is empty, which causes an error.
Is there a special form of UPDATE statement that does nothing but checks as valid SQL ?
Thanks in advance...

A: A statement like this one is the wrong choice. Don't do this.
update foo set bar = bar;

Although the underlying data doesn't seem to change, PostgreSQL actually performs the update, along with all its side effects. Side effects might include these.

*

*The update affects an undetermined number of rows.

*Writes to the transaction log. (Might write a lot.)

*Fires triggers.

*Enforces foreign key constraints, possibly cascading updates.

Use WHERE FALSE to check for errors.
update foo set bar = bar where false;

Simple tests will show that no update takes place, no triggers fire, etc.
The execution plans for those two queries are radically different. Inspect with explain analyze.

A: You can use EXPLAIN UPDATE which returns a query plan for a valid statement but an error if the statement is not valid.


Have you planned for your Digital Assets? Have you planned for your Digital Assets?
Have you ever considered what happens to your family pictures and all of your other digital assets after you die? It seems that traditional photo albums are fast becoming a quaint practice of earlier non-digital generations. Today, most holidays, summer vacations, travel, graduations, weddings, and other important events are memorialized in digital photos and video – much of which is immediately uploaded so that family and friends can share in the celebration.
So what happens to this family history after you die? And while we are on the subject, who controls your Gmail/Facebook/Yahoo/Twitter/LinkedIn accounts when you are gone? These questions are new and the law is still developing, and will continue to develop as technology advances. But here are few things to consider.
First, most social web sites are controlled by agreements that you accept (typically without reading them) when you create your account. Some of the agreements dictate what happens to your account after you die.
For example, Yahoo's agreement provides that accounts are not transferable. Facebook's policy is different. Facebook has a form that can be filled out that will cause a Facebook profile to go into a Memorial State. Certain profile sections and features are hidden from view to protect privacy. Logging in to the account is prohibited, but confirmed friends are able to see the profile or find it via a search, and are able to leave messages on their wall.
Some may be already familiar with the story of Justin Ellsworth, a 20 year old US Marine, who died in Iraq. His family spent many months battling Yahoo over their right to receive copies of Justin's email correspondence.
Of course, some of this confusion could be eased if loved ones had a record of usernames and passwords. Then accounts could be opened and emails could be read, photos downloaded and saved elsewhere. Once all was in order, the services could then be notified of the death and the accounts cancelled.
In fact, the idea of safeguarding usernames and passwords while making them available to loved ones in the future has created a whole new line of business. Several articles have been written about companies such as Password Box, Entrustit, and MyEstateManager, which have been formed to help people manage their digital assets after death, allowing specific usernames and passwords to be sent to different people depending on your wishes.
As always, the best way to succeed is to have a plan.
For those precious digital memories, be sure that someone you trust has access to the various accounts after you're gone so that an important piece of family history is not simply lost with the click of the delete button.
If you have questions about planning your Estate contact Orlowsky & Wilson today.

Cricketers to be tested for Covid-19 tomorrow
I'm not bothered about my domestic performances: Shakib
BCB unveils new jersey for tigers
PM congratulates cricket team
Bangladesh seal easy win as Shakib returns like a king
Once the test results come out negative, the cricketers will be able to resume their training at SBNCS, Mirpur on September 9, 2020.

Bangladesh national team are set to play a three-match Test series against Sri Lanka starting from the end of October. Ahead of that, the cricketers and the support staff will be tested for Covid-19 several times by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to ensure their safety.
As a part of that process, the first phase of the Covid-19 testing will be completed on Monday, September 7, BCB informed.
"As part of the BCB's Coronavirus management plan and to ensure player safety for training sessions leading up to the forthcoming Tour of Sri Lanka, sample for Covid-19 test will be collected from National Team players and probables and relevant support personnel tomorrow (Monday, 07 September 2020)," BCB's media official informed.
The cricketers had started their individual training session in July and have continued to do so throughout the country except for Dhaka. As a trainer tested Covid-19 positive, the individual training at Dhaka was halted for safety measures.
But that too is now behind as the training will be back on track on September 9, 2020, once the Covid-19 test results are out.
"Individual training at SBNCS, Dhaka scheduled to resume on 09 September 2020," read BCB's media official's message.
Bangladesh team will travel to Sri Lanka on September 27, 2020, and go through a 14-day quarantine phase before moving on to training and practice matches before the first Test kicks off at Kandy on October 24.

Q: VS Code: moving the cursor to the line above (same position) In the VS Code for Mac, is it possible to move the cursor to the line above at the same position (as the previous line)?
Currently, the cursor is being placed to the beginning of the line when moved above.

A: This is the normal behavior in all the text editors that I have encountered.
The caret will try to keep its column position,
as long as characters exist in that position.
You have empty lines with no characters, so the editor cannot position
the caret anywhere else than the beginning of the line.
In your animation, I note that the line above the first const does
contain some blanks so the caret can stay in its column.
There is no solution possible, unless you pad your empty lines with enough blanks,
which isn't the best solution.

I'm not sure how to write what I feel led to say, but I hope that after my saying it, someone through it will be encouraged by my divulging on deeper thoughts and open heart struggles,joys,and curiosity inside me.
I'm not sure what God's doing, and everything in me wants to stop blogging what's on my heart at this momment…everything except for the prompting inside that for some reason (one which I may never know) tells me I must continue to walk in obedience and trust and write.
Facts: It's as if He's trying to push me onward..like a mother bird nudges her chicks to fly. The only difference is to everyone else it seems I've already been flying for about 3 years – Speaking and singing – being given opportunity to use my gifts and watching Him work. But in the last several months and then (most intrusively and intricately)in the last couple of weeks, there's been footprints of His working that I can't fully trace, I can only follow onward. I know He's leading me to a new overlook…not that what I'll be doing will be different, but somehow I just sense and honestly know that the wind of His Spirit will be felt and seen as more powerful from that position. In the last couple of weeks I've had random people pray over me. Random from my view but their words over me proved this was no random interaction. They were praying over me things that I never could have told them…in fact a couple of them, I don't even know their names. There's something that happens when you know that someone is touching something raw in the heart that you thought was protected and in pristine condition and health without any effort and with utmost gentleness and love. I would through tears ask Him to remember and remind me of all they were saying…it was too much to take in. Then this morning I decided to obey and pursue a direction He had laid on my heart for touring against my self-propelled instinct and initiative to hold my ground and not move till I was more sure of His voice being His voice. 🙂 Difficult to accept, but it's true that if I'm unwilling to act on something He's told me to do is the same as to disobey. Soon after my call of obedience, I checked my facebook just to get back to someone that had wanted to get together. I found a message from a friend from Korea saying only this, "this morinng, you were in my dream… hum interesting yah?! you werew very powerful preacher that i never able to imagin…:) well! i guess i missed you that much or God probably using you that way~! n either way, good to see you somehow hahahaha be blessed." The weird part is that I haven't seen this friend since 2002 and she has never heard me speak…and knows little of what I'm currently doing. Overflow…this time of tears on my part…I even put my sweater I'm wearing over my head…as if to hide – Yeah, I don't we have even a chance of hiding from His sight…and His desire and commitment to move in His will and way.
Realization: I know that God is working – doing something much bigger in me and about to be through me than I want to know about. I literally find myself wanting to hide under something that is a lot more sturdy than I feel my heart and emotions – who I am – is.
Conclusion: I am a follower…of CHRIST. I don't follow myself, my own longings, my tendencies, or my pride. I may be tempted and pulled by them at times, but I cannot and will not live my life for me. I refuse to waste what I've been given.
Conclusion: I love HIM. I love HIM. I Love my King. I'm moved to awe…deepening awe of Him everytime I dare to forego business to seek; I dare to turn my dreams into prayers of faith; I dare to leave my way of doing things on the table so that He can show me the banquet He has to include the desires, talents, and gifts He's implanted to produce in me the glory He designed me to reflect and the fruit He is preparing me to bear.
So, inside, I fear saying that there's more…that will almost make all that's been done seem completely over-estimated and under-delivered when it comes to the amount of power He's willing to shine forth from wretched vessels such as I am. I am intrigued and the drive within that He's given me will allow me to run…in a minute. But, can I just sit in wide-eyed wonder first? Only I know how much I don't know what I'm doing and how much I am dependent on Him and helpless to produce anything good.

I never had the pleasure of playing the original version of Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion, so I decided to do a lets play of the new HD Renovation.
Initially I expected just a cute game of exploration. The first 50 rooms or so through me off a bit. I was starting to lose hope of any type of real scare factor when I started taking damage. Though the game is designed with a cute childish look, things get a little intense when your running for your life.
I'm not sure if you can take a wrong turn and get stuck. During my 250 room play-through I might have just got lucky. It seemed like as I progressed the enemies became faster, stronger, and more relentless.
I wasn't really sure if I was going to like this game or not at first. I actually ended up thinking it was a lot of fun. It does get repetitive pretty fast, and I don't think it has much replay value. Overall I think I'll rate it with a positive review score.
Spooky's has been recreated in the Unity engine, featuring HD graphics, 3D models, and some new twists and turns along the way. Now with full controller support, Steam trading cards and backgrounds, new specimens, the ability to toggle between the old and new specimen visuals, and Oculus Rift and Vive support. This new version of Spooky's will also have Endless Mode and all DLC bundled together. Don't worry Mac and Linux users, we have you covered in this new version!
This remake will leave you satisfied and wanting more.
As you might know the original Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion was written in GameMaker 8 – which only has the most rudimentary of 3D support. In order to add features like 3D specimens, VR, Mac & Linux ports, and to fix a lot of the nagging issues (like getting stuck on corners) and other much-requested features it has to be rewritten from the ground up! We're taking this opportunity to add all that and more in Unity – which is a modern fully featured natively 3D engine that is a lot easier to work with for this kind of game than old GameMaker.


Running a day care center is challenging enough without financial accounting problems. Picking the best day care accounting software is an important decision, as it will store all of the critical business accounting data and client data of your day care center.
The first step in picking the best software is to survey what is currently available.
There are many generic financial accounting solutions available, but they will not provide the day care industry-specific features that specialized day care accounting software may provide.
Start by researching in industry publications and talking with other day care owners, but also use the power of the Internet to find and research all available options.
Look at the system requirements for each of the software options you have found. If any of them will not run on your current computer system, you will eventually have to either rule them out or factor in the cost of upgrading your system. But first, you need to determine what features and benefits you really need your day care accounting software to provide.
Ease of use is an important benefit. Unless you are very computer savvy and have no other employees who will need to use it, you need your software to be extremely user-friendly and intuitive so that little or no training is necessary.
But there is often a trade-off of ease of use versus power and flexibility. You need the day care accounting software you pick to be as easy to use as possible while still being powerful and flexible enough to provide the general financial accounting capabilities you need as well as specialized features to fill the needs of a day care center.
But day care accounting software also needs to be flexible enough to deal with more complex billing. For example, your rates may vary depending on the days or hours a child is in day care, or you may have to split bills between two divorced parents.
Your software will need to maintain contact information and a comprehensive payment history for every client. You may also need to be able to provide families a detailed statement of their yearly childcare expenses for their taxes.
System requirements, features, and benefits are not the only consideration when picking the best day care accounting software, though.
You need to be fully aware of any possible licensing issues, software add-on or upgrade needs, and support details. These can all affect your initial or long-term cost.
– How many client records can the software handle?
– Is there a limit on the number of clients per family?
– How often is the software upgraded?
– Do software upgrades cost extra?
– How long is technical support available for old versions if you do not upgrade?
– Will you need to purchase extra modules or add-ons to get the features you need?
– If you have more than one computer that will run the software, do you need additional licenses?
– Is any training necessary? If so, what will it cost to train your entire staff?
– Is there a charge for technical support?
– How do you contact technical support?
– What are the hours for technical support?
– Will the software provider do any necessary custom programming?
– What is the charge for custom programming?
– How do you get the software (disk, download, etc.)?
– Is there a free trial of the software available before you purchase it?
Do not skip this, as it can save you from a potential disaster! Software always sounds great on the vendor's site, but you need to know if there are many end user complaints.
No complaints? Great, but now you need to find out whether you can get a better price on the day care accounting software you have chosen.
You might be surprised how often you can save 20% or 25% on any online purchase with these two extra steps.
Purchasing day care accounting software is a major investment. Your decision, good or bad, may affect your business for years. Following the steps above, you should be able to pick the best day care accounting software to fulfill your needs. And you should be able to get it at the best price possible.
It is important that you choose accounting software that is both suitable for your business, and is easy for your employees or yourself to use. Manual accounting can be very time-consuming, and is also prone to human error. No matter how experienced a traditional accountant is, he or she can still make mistakes that software cannot make.
Most people now understand that a 'computer error' is either a programming or an input error, and that people make errors, not computers. It's somewhat amusing that a machine that can count only in ones and zeros cannot make computational errors. Perhaps we should follow their example! Perhaps one day we will, but that is irrelevant for the moment!
For the same reason, established accountancy software not only saves you time and effort, but also eliminates calculation errors. Redundant data entry is avoided by means of fields and macros, where addresses, for example can be entered at the press of a single button.
Such software has developed in recent years to the extent that virtually no accountancy expertise is required to use it. Hence, if you run a small business, you may be able to avoid the cost of employing a dedicated accountant for anything but auditing and signing off your accounts.
The following 5 tips on how to choose accounting software should give you a good feel for how to select an accountancy software package that best suits your needs. Keep in mind that most modern packages can be run by anyone with computer literacy, and if you make the right choice you can save the cost of hiring a qualified accountant.
First, you should list the accountancy features you require. If you only need to record your income and expenditure, and record profit and loss, then the package you require will be fairly basic and therefore of relatively low cost. There's no point in buying a Ferrari just to do the shopping!
However, if you run a larger organization, where you wish to track the finances and expenses of individual departments or even individuals, then you will need a few more bells and whistles. You may opt for a more expensive industry-specific accountancy package if you are in an industry such as construction, real estate or finance. In short, the accountancy software you choose should meet your needs, and you are better purchasing the best that meets these needs than an average multifunctional package offering options you will never use.
In practical terms, additional features would be included in the heading above. However you also have the choice of the physical form of your hardware to consider. Should the software be suitable for online or desktop use, and should it particularly be designed for portable devices. Can you use it on your laptop and on an iPad or other portable electronic device? Ask this question of yourself first, and if hardware versatility is important then ask the software provider before committing to purchase.
c) can you get a free trial before committing yourself.
You must make sure that your software will not be obsolete when the next generation of computer comes along. Some software packages are more expensive than the hardware that runs them and it is important that you get free upgrades as hardware develops.
Your accountancy software should also be able to be upgraded as your business grows. Rather than purchase a new package, you should look for software that offers extensions or upgrades to your initial package to compensate for your developing business.
Depending upon your choice of accountancy software, you should be able to either purchase the software outright, pay monthly or lease it. Some offer the software on a monthly subscription basis, and often this or leasing might be your preferred method of payment since you are guaranteed upgrades as technology advances – either in software or hardware.
A final tip is that, once you have come to a decision, you should check out peer opinion of your choice of accounting software by visiting forums and reviews. You should enter a search term such as 'MySoftware review' and check up what others that have used the package think of it.
This can be the most powerful way to get the best information on your accountancy software available to you. Peer opinion counts for a great deal, and this is possibly more important than any of the above 5 tips on how to choose accounting software.

Q: Magento Remove "Miscellaneous Scripts" from CMS Page I've been trying to remove the "Miscellaneous Scripts" (set in System > Configuration > General > Design > HTML Head > Miscellaneous Scripts) for a particular CMS page.  I've gone to CMS > Pages > Design > Page Layout > Layout Update XML and entered the following code:
<reference name="head">
   <remove name="miscellaneous-scripts"/>
</reference>

This doesn't seem to remove the code from the CMS page.  I've tried similar variations such as "header" instead of "head", however, none have worked as of yet.  Will somebody please help me in achieving this?  Can this successfully be done using this method?  Thank you in advance for any constructive contributions!

A: Misc. scripts are made available via Mage/Page/Block/Html/Head getIncludes()
which is called from template/page/html/head.phtml.  Because it's called directly from the template and not via getChildHtml(), you can't use layout xml to remove it using a <remove name... /> tag.
You could set a new head.phtml template which doesn't call getIncludes() for that CMS page using layout.  Or you could rewrite Html/Head.php and expose a method for disabling includes.

A: As per Evan's answer, I have decided to directly edit the template page.  I needed to exclude the "Miscellaneous Scripts" on the "Empty" layout.  So I went to /app/design/frontend/theme/default/template/page/empty.phtml.  From there, I did a string replace to remove the code from getChildHtml('head').
Changed:
echo $this->getChildHtml('head');

To this:
$headcode = str_replace('<script type="text/javascript" ...>', '', $this->getChildHtml('head'));
echo $headcode;

Now, the code will be excluded only from empty.phtml.

A: I "invented" a simple trick to remove misc-html from cms or whatever:
In the content insert the following html code:
<style>
.misc-html {display:none}
</style>

A: You can remove directly from layout, but in you example you write wrong xml for remove this block.
This block is in container="before.body.end" and name of "Miscellaneous Scripts" is "absolute_footer"
<referenceContainer name="before.body.end">
    <referenceBlock name="absolute_footer" remove="true" />
</referenceContainer>


The Camel Trophy ran from 1980 until 2000. Land Rovers were used from 1981 until 1998. Discoverys were used between 1990 and 1997. A selection of the G-WAC press fleet were taken back to Land Rover after the press launch and repainted Sandglow before being sent to Eastnor for selection trials / training for the 1990 event. Known press G-WAC's that were treated to a makeover are G463/75/521/25WAC it is also believed that G494/532WAC were treated the same although no pictures exist (to date!) of these two vehicles. More factory registered G-WAC's were used in the 1990 event in the USSR these are known as G560/1/2/3WAC and again the 1990 event cars were used for 1991 selection trails and training. The 1991 event used 5 door 200 Tdi models. The event ran with five door 200 Tdi's between 1991 & 1994. 300 Tdi's were used between 1995 & 1997. The 1998 event ran with the new Freelander.

Radon Test, Radon Testing Service, Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Marco Island, Lehigh Acres Florida.
The answer is yes. While we do not have the levels found in the north east, we do have a substantial amount of radon here in Naples, Marco Island, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh and other areas of Florida.
The most recent studies show an average of 25% of the homes tested for radon in Collier and Lee counties tested positive for levels higher than recommended by the EPA. This means your Florida home has a 1 in 4 chance of testing high.
Believe it or not, yes. High rise buildings have some of the highest levels that we, and other radon testers find. The main issue seems to be the trucked in fill dirt and/or imported materials.
So yes, high rise and other condo buildings need tested for radon. Fixing radon issues in high rise buildings can be more complex and expensive than fixing radon issues in single family homes, so it is actually more important to test for radon in condominiums.
If you have any radon testing needs, or simply have questions about radon testing please give us a call.
Able Inspection Service performs professional radon testing services in Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Marco Island Florida. We also perform radon tests in all of Lee and Collier counties.

(CJTF-HOA) — Senior defense and government officials from the U.S. and Ethiopia held the sixth annual Bilateral Defense Committee March 31, 2016, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The ministerial-level meeting produced a new agreement outlining the cross-exchange of logistics, services, supplies, and support between the nations, as well as a plan for future security cooperation activities designed to meet mutual defense priorities.
Ethiopian attendees included Gen. Samora Yunis, Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF) Chief of the General Staff, and Defence Minister Siraj Fegessa. U.S. attendees included Amanda Dory, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for African Affairs, U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia Patricia M. Haslach, Gen. David Rodriguez, U.S. Africa Command commander, and Maj. Gen. Mark Stammer, Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa commander.
After a brief coffee ceremony, Minister Siraj opened the meeting by reaffirming Ethiopia's commitment to securing a safer East African region and continuing its partnership with the U.S. for years to come.
"I look forward to continuing the close cooperation of our two defense forces. I have no doubts that we will turn that into a truly successful endeavor," said Siraj. "We have worked together for over 100 years, and I know this will continue with lasting success and friendship between us."
Dory echoed the importance of a long-lasting partnership and bilateral support between the U.S. and Ethiopia.
"Ethiopia's continued commitment to supporting the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and their unwavering support to the United Nations Peace Operations goes to show just how progressive and strong Ethiopia is," said Dory. "Neutralizing Al-Shabaab is a high priority for both the U.S. and Ethiopia, and working together plays a key role in peace and security."
Rodriguez opened the plenary sessions by leading discussions on counterterrorism cooperation, Somalia security sector reform cooperation and intelligence sharing.
"We remain strongly committed to supporting AMISOM and its efforts in Somalia," said Rodriguez. "Key to these efforts is the resumption of the AMISOM offensive Operation Juba Corridor (OJC)."
OJC is aimed at further degrading the Al-Shabaab violent extremist organization by removing them from their strong holds in multiple regions of Somalia. Since the start of OJC, the ENDF and other AMISOM forces have recovered major towns and villages in Somalia.
"Support between the Ethiopians and the U.S. will continue to be broad ranging, and will include equipment, training, advisory support, information sharing, and logistics support," said Rodriguez. "We will also continue to look for new opportunities where the U.S. can leverage additional resources to boost AMISOM capabilities."
The officials also discussed other regional issues including the Islamic State, ENDF support to United Nations peace support operations, impacts of drought in Ethiopia, air mobility and communications support, and defense health cooperation.

Editor's reminder: The Grand Duchy's public transport system apparently costs €1 billion to operate each year, but fares anyway amount to only €30 million (i.e. just 3% of the total operating costs). But as we will see here, there is more to it than that.
Almost half of the labour force (192,000) are cross-border commuters. Due to substantial immigration (Luxembourg's population grows by 2.3 per cent every year) and the immense supply of office space, housing inside Luxembourg is scarce and costly.
The government is intent on continuing economic growth to preserve living standards and maintain the social security system at current levels. And so far it has succeeded: GDP grows steadily by 2 per cent to 4 per cent anually. Indeed, Luxembourg's per capita GDP is among the highest in the world.
In this context, the notion that free transport is a means of wealth redistribution and social inclusion doesn't square. It's already cheap – and far outweighed by exploding housing costs, the country's real inequality challenge. And, price is only one factor in an individual's choice of transport. This means that pricing alone won't likely trigger major changes in travel behaviour.
What's more, when users realise that the system doesn't work, there will be few alternatives available to them. Many will choose to go by car because it is faster and more reliable – while those who cannot afford that option, or are unable or simply do not like, to drive, will bear the burden. Ultimately, it will be taxpayers who compensate the revenue lost through declining ticket sales. This includes the cross-border commuters, who won't benefit from the free transit inside Luxembourg, having paid their fares before the border.

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga is done pretending that her relationship with sister-in-law Teresa Giudice is more than it is. Melissa recently admitted that they would never be best friends despite viewers remaining hopeful that things would change.
During Part 1 of the reunion, Teresa explained her decision to exclude Melissa from being a bridesmaid in her upcoming wedding. She noted that they're simply not close–a point Melissa did not deny.
As a matter of fact, Melissa later confessed to being relieved that the truth was finally out there. However, in case you were hopeful that things might change between the two women, Melissa said it's just not gonna happen.
Melissa Gorga will never be best friends with Teresa Giudice
Melissa Gorga just set the record straight on a possible close friendship between herself and her sister-in-law Teresa Giudice. If you were hoping for BFF status, you're going to be disappointed.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star recently tapered the expectation of hopeful viewers by making it clear that she will never be best friends with the OG.
Melissa made the revelation during a recent chat with EXTRA while discussing her faceoff with Teresa during Part 1 of the reunion.
As for the current state of their relationship, the 43-year-old noted, "We are family, and I think that everyone was always rooting for us to be besties, and I just hate to let everyone down, but it's not gonna happen."
Melissa admitted that the realization is a hard pill to swallow but said it wasn't for lack of trying on both their parts.
"I tried for many years and I'm sure she would say she did too. I can't figure it out," remarked the Bravo personality, who noted that they both respect each other for the sake of their family.
However, "At some point, you have to throw in the towel…you have to say 'Okay, we're not gonna be this but we're family and we're gonna respect each other,' and that's it."
Melissa Gorga says the RHONJ reunion was frustrating
During her chat with the media outlet, Melissa opened up about how the reunion frustrated host, Andy Cohen.
The Bravo exec spoke out after the event and admitted that the reunion was really upsetting for him, and Melissa can understand why.
"He lost it, and I've never seen him do that, but I think everyone was just talking over one another. It was raw," said the Real Housewives of New Jersey star.
"He couldn't get anyone to like come full circle and listen to the other person, and that's very frustrating," Melissa continued. "I was getting frustrated, so I felt his pain when he started yelling."
The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
