I will stop marrying and fathering children the day death visits – Man with 151 children and 16 wives reveals
Misheck Nyandoro, a Johanne Marange Apostolic sect member with 151 children from 16 wives has revealed that he has no plan of stopping anytime soon.
The polygamist from Mbire in Mashonaland Central of Zimbabwe, told The Herald that he is planning to take his 17th wife soon so that he can add to his 151 children.
Nyandoro said ;
"Mine is a project. This polygamy is a project that I have undertaken since 1983 and will end with my death. Whenever that day death visits, is when I will stop marrying and fathering children.
"I am planning on taking in my 17th wife this winter and the formalities are already being worked on."
He also described polygamy as a project which is now bearing fruit as he is constantly receiving money and goodies from his children and son-in-laws. Nyandoro also claimed that Western Europe has a big project to reduce Africa's population and he's against that.
The polygamist said;
"From my working children and getting pampered with money through EcoCash, almost daily and 11 of my children have put me on funeral policy. I get goods from sons-in-law.
"I have not stopped making babies, the sky is the limit. I have not stopped marrying either, God allowing, I will go even up to 100 wives and maybe 1000 children. Western Europe has a big project to reduce Africa's population and am against that. I am a war veteran, the Government pays for my children's fees. I have no problem."
The 66-year-old also disclosed that life is good as he does not go to work, but sits in a shed where he is fed by all his 16 wives who all prepare food for him separately. He said that he only eats the best-prepared food and throws away the rest.
Nyandoro said;
"Every wife cooks her best every day because the rule is I only eat what is delicious and I throw away what is not tasty. Every wife subscribes to that rule and does not get annoyed when I return her badly cooked food to her. It is the rule here. Rejected food should make her cook better next time
"My church does not allow women to cook together. Each must cook on her own in as much as she sleeps in her own bedroom."
He also boasted that his only duty is to make sure that his wives are satisfied in the bedroom. Nyandoro said he takes into account a number of variables in coming up with the duty roster for his 16 wives' conjugal rights. Claiming that he does not take any sex enhancement drug to satisfy his wives, he added that he is the only person who knows and maintains the duty roster.
"I am strong and feel as strong as I was when I was 18. I give conjugal rights to an average of four wives a night and I do the duty roaster personally. I go to the targeted bedrooms one by one. That is my job. There is no other job I do. They are all catered for and you can see they are happy. Afternoon conjugal rights are not considered during the duty roster, for, that is mainly accidental.
"The moment I see the next woman, she is a completely new person and I feel like I haven't done anything before. There is no magic but a sound mind. Never be lied to about juju or magic or anything. To me, every wife is a new person. It feels different.
"When I am dealing with each wife, I tune myself to her age and demands so that we operate from the same level. What I do with the young wives is not what I do with the elderly ones.
"But again the reason why I am marrying two or three more in the recent future is that the elderly wives are no longer much interested in sex.
"At times I am chased away or told to go for the younger ones.
"I am not employed. My duty is to satisfy my wives. I know each of them personally and I satisfy them accordingly."
He also said that he followed his church's tenets when choosing a new wife and will never marry someone who was married before or someone who is a minor.
Nyandoro added;
"I married all my women according to church discipline. I never married an under-aged girl. I wait for 18 years. The church does not allow me to marry someone who was once married. NO!"
"I have paid lobola accordingly. None of the wives was organised for me. I approached each one of them personally."
Nyandoro's huge family survives by farming. He was recently allocated 93 hectares near Mvurwi Mountains after the government took note of his family's need. He said that after every harvest, he makes sure to share equitably according to the needs of the 16 wives.
At the moment, 19 of Nyandaro's children are employed. 6 are members of the Zimbabwe National Army while 2 are members of the Zimbabwe Republic Police. Another 11 are employed in different professions. He also has 13 sons-in-law after marrying off 13 daughters.

What started out as a simple pair of MythTV x86 boxes back around 2005 soon evolved into a mission for low power systems everywhere, after finding out about LinuxMCE it expanded greatly into home automation and linking various active PC's to also run as Media Directors. The machines used previously are not listed here at the moment because they are currently collecting dust, they are power hungry x86 boxes so were upgraded to what is listed here. These boxes may be brought back to life for testing at some point in the future but I deem them too hungry to run 24/7 along with my other server boxes, unrelated to LinuxMCE.
The following are devices connected to my LinuxMCE network, this is a current working setup dated 22 October 2018.

Macau Legend to pay US$42 mln for Savan Vegas
May 16, 2016 Newsdesk Latest News, Macau, Rest of Asia, Top of the deck
Macau casino services firm Macau Legend Development Ltd says it has agreed to pay US$42 million for the right to operate the casino hotel in Laos known as the Savan Vegas Hotel and Entertainment Complex. The deal also includes the right to a 50-year monopoly on casino operations in three Lao provinces including the one where the resort is located.
The agreement with the Lao government also envisages the possibility of Macau Legend developing a plot of land next to Savan Vegas and building two golf courses, a 600-room hotel, villas, casino, exhibition hall and spa, pool facilities, staff quarters and training facilities, Macau Legend said on Friday.
An earlier plan by the Lao government to dispose of the hotel had involved a tender process, after which a shortlist of six companies had been drawn up.
But a filing on May 11 by the parent of one of the shortlisted applicants – RGB International Bhd, a maker of electronic gaming machines for casinos – said the tender process had been terminated by the government of the Lao People's Democratic Republic. It didn't give a reason.
Macau Legend said in a press release issued on Friday: "The project development agreement (PDA) has an initial term of 50 years, and subject to fulfilment of all obligations by Macau Legend for the initial term, may be extended for an additional period up to another 49 years."
The firm added: "During the term of the PDA, the government of the Lao PDR shall not grant to any third party any licence, permit or concession authorizing such third party to operate any gaming activities within the exclusivity zone (which consists of the provinces of Bolikhamsay, Khammouane and Savannakhet of the Lao PDR) without the prior written consent of Macau Legend."
The terms of the deal were also confirmed in a filing by Macau Legend to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Regional hub
David Chow Kam Fai, co-chairman and chief executive of Macau Legend, added in the press statement that his firm would assist the Lao government in its aim of turning the Savan Vegas project into a "regional entertainment hub in Southeast Asia".
He added: "Over the short term, in Macau, the market has been challenging which means it is an opportune moment to invest for the growth. Our first overseas project at Cape Verde is progressing smoothly on budget and on schedule, which allows us to take additional investments in areas with high growth potentials. Laos provide such an opportunity. We have strong support from the Government of the Lao PDR and since the facilities are already in place this should shorten the development time in helping develop the market for tourism in this region."
Savannakhet province, where Savan Vegas is located, is close to Thailand and China – two countries that ban casino gaming – and to Vietnam, a country that forbids its own citizens from using those casinos located within its borders.
Macau Legend said that Savan Vegas is on a 50-hectare (124-acre) plot and its casino currently has 92 tables and 493 slot machines. The resort also has a 476-room hotel and a convention centre, restaurants, bars and shops.
Last week, Lao Holdings NV, the parent company of a firm called Sanum Investments Ltd, said it had filed three legal actions alleging violations of a 2014 agreement with the government of Laos.
The Lao government in 2012 seized the resort operation – claiming that Sanum Investments owed US$23 million in back taxes and penalties – and appointed an interim management with a view to disposal of the property to other investors.
Macau Legend's Friday filing said the US$42-million deal included "payment of the assumed tax liability". The transaction is expected to close no later than July 29, 2016, said the firm.

HL: Emilio, how do you choose the talent? Are these people that you have already worked with or have you been scouting out in Miami?
EE: I wanted the first group of artists featured in the Performance Series to reflect the diversity of music and cultures in South Florida. Each week represents a completely different genre, from Afro-Caribbean Jazz to Salsa/Mambo orchestra—and of course my extremely talented daughter, (yes, I'm biased!) Emily Estefan.
HL: Craig, how do you feel that the new music program is shaping the Miami Design District's arts culture?
CR: Culture is one of the pillars of the Miami Design District and music has always played an important role in creating a dynamic and immersive experience in the neighborhood. We've had Pharrell Williams and the Scissor Sisters perform during Art Basel, as well as The Florida Grand Opera and The New World Symphony, who have both given incredible performances in the neighborhood, as did Bonnie Pointer of the Pointer Sisters during last year's Day Into Night program. We also host live local bands at our new weekly Farmer's Market like The French Horn Collective, The Fox Brothers and Oigo, and have featured a host of live musicians in the past from Miami and elsewhere, like Emily Estefan, Zoe Kravitz and Peaches. We see the Palm Court Performance Series produced by Emilio Estefan as an extension of our continued support and enthusiasm for music and the local Miami musical community, more specifically. The Miami Design District is a place where people can come for the great shopping and restaurants and stay for the rich cultural experiences on offer.
HL: How do you think this music series can positively contribute to the Miami Design District culture?
EE: After seeing the first MISO Pop-up concert, I knew immediately that the Palm Court would become a destination for musical performances, in addition to the fashion, art and culture that it's already known for.
HL: Why did you choose to make this event open to the public as opposed to doing a ticketed event?
CR: Our goal is to continue to bring creative and public programming to the District that creates unforgettable experiences for all and fosters a sense of community and culture in the neighborhood.
HL: Do you feel that a public series like this can help educate the youth on the importance of music?
EE: Definitely—this performance series will educate and introduce new music to not only a younger demographic, but also to people of all ages and cultures. It's the perfect opportunity to give people a chance to learn about and experience different genres of music.
HL: How has it been working with Emilio on this project?
CR: Emilio is a legend and a long-time friend of mine. He boasts more than 40 years of industry-leading achievement and 19 Grammy© Awards, so it is always an honor and a privilege to work with him.
HL: Emilio, how are you and Gloria merging your new restaurant with this performance series?
EE: The success of our restaurants are a result of a combining traditional, authentic Cuban food and great LIVE music! Gloria and I opened our first restaurant almost 27 years ago with the concept of combining our cultural heritage with food and music. Estefan Kitchen is an extension of what we established 27 years ago with Larios on the Beach and Bongos Cuban Café in Disney Springs.
HL: Has the Design District seen an influx of new visitors since this series?
CR: The Palm Court Performance Series has gotten off to a great start. We welcomed almost 1500 guests last week and we look forward to building on that number and welcoming more locals and tourists alike who want to hear great music in a unique outdoor setting under the palms.
HL: Beyond the seven weeks of performances, do you plan on continuing music and cultural enrichment in the MDD?
EE: I expect the performance series to become a permanent Friday fixture in the MDD—which it's already shaping up to be. When you combine fashion, art, music and great food—there's nothing more culturally enriching than that.

Vietnam, Brunei forge trade links
The upcoming State visit to Brunei by President Tran Dai Quang from August 26-28 is meant to not only mark the bilateral partnership but also promote bilateral affiliation to potential fields.

Hanoi (VNA) – The upcoming State visit to Brunei by President Tran Dai Quang from August 26-28 is meant to not only mark the bilateral partnership but also promote bilateral affiliation to such potential fields as trade, investment, tourism, education-training, agriculture, oil and gas, and seafood.
At the same time, it will help Vietnamese businesses study investment opportunities to make inroads into Brunei.
Brunei has become a potential and reliable trade partner and investor of Vietnam since the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1992.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, two-way trade reached 17 million USD in the first six months of this year. Of which, Vietnam exported 8.4 million USD worth of goods to the market, mainly rice and seafood. The country spent 8.7 million USD chiefly importing chemicals.
The Vietnam Trade Office in Brunei said despite differences in area, population and culture, both countries share similar views on regional and international issues, creating a premise for the two sides to enhance cooperative ties.
Furthermore, as members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Vietnam and Brunei have actively and proactively got engaged in ASEAN cooperation fields such as defining the bloc's future development orientations and outlining major policies.
This has helped strengthen solidarity among member states, and increase the role and position of ASEAN in the region and beyond.
Over the past few years, the two nations have witnessed high-level delegation exchanges such as the visit to Brunei by President Tran Duc Luong in 2001 and by Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung in 2007. Brunei King Hassanal Bolkiah visited Vietnam to attend ASEAN, ASEM and APEC conferences in 1998, 2004, and 2006.
The two countries have signed a double taxation avoidance agreement, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on sports and youths collaboration, and another on oil and gas cooperation, creating legal foundations for the bilateral partnership in the fields.
Vietnam and Brunei are expected to secure a cooperation agreement in cultivation and seafood farming soon.
Experts suggested Vietnamese firms build a proper marketing strategy to boost exports to the market.-VNA

After the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, President George W. Bush launched a military offensive in Afghanistan, which led to the capture of Al Qaeda operatives thought to be behind the attacks. Top US officials debated how to extract crucial information from them about Al Qaeda's future plans. The Central Intelligence Agency wanted to apply aggressive interrogation methods, which it argued were necessary to convince detainees to reveal what they knew. But CIA officials worried such techniques might violate both international treaties banning torture and "cruel, inhuman or degrading" treatment of prisoners of war and detainees and, more consequentially, the domestic laws that enforced them. To protect its agents, the CIA sought a clear statement from the Bush Administration on how far agents could go in efforts to force detainees to talk. These cases tell the story of OLC's legal findings and their consequences. Part A (1853.0)describes a series of OLC memoranda on the treatment of detainees in the "war on terror," culminating in an August 2002 opinion that became known as the "torture memo," which narrowly interpreted the legal meaning of torture but took a broad view of presidential wartime powers under the Constitution. Part A ends as Assistant Attorney General and OLC head Jay Bybee must decide whether to sign the opinion. Part B (1854.0) tracks the results of the torture memo, tracing the use of interrogation techniques it sanctioned from CIA detention centers overseas to the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In the view of some, these harsher techniques eventually "migrated" to Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, where abusive treatment of detainees became an international embarrassment for the US.

Chocolate milkshake for Pujara after magnificent Test hundred in Australia
Cheteshwar Pujara revealed that he will be having a chocolate milkshake after his mammoth 264-ball 123 that saved India the blushes on Day 1 of the first Test against Australia.
India Today Web Desk
Cheteshwar Pujara's gutsy hundred helped India reach 250/9 at stumps on Day 1 (@BCCI Photo)
Cheteshwar Pujara scored 123, his 16th Test hundred and first in Australia
Pujara batted for 246 balls and 380 minutes on the first day of the tour
In the course of his mammoth innings, Pujara also reached 5000 Test runs
Cheteshwar Pujara defied Australia's bowling attack and overcame stifling conditions at the Adelaide Oval with a century on the opening day of the first Test at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
India were in danger of being bowled out cheaply after reckless batting in the opening two sessions, but Pujara scored 123 runs as India reached 250/9 at stumps.
The 30-year-old notched his 16th century and also passed 5,000 Test runs in the process. Just before the close, Pujara was run out by a direct hit from Pat Cummins to end his marathon innings.
Pujara played with the determination and patience, which was lacking from the rest of India's specialist batsmen. He scored his first hundred on Australian soil and joined an elite list of players courtesy his outstanding knock.
Pujara became the sixth Indian batsman to score a hundred on the opening day of a Test match outside Asia after Vijay Manjrekar, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli and Murali Vijay.
Kohli is the only Indian batsman to achieve the feat twice in his career so far.
Pujara meanwhile, also hit the third highest score by a visiting batsman on the first day of a Test in Australia.
Incidentally, Pujara and Rahul Dravid have reached the 3000, 4000 and 5000-run mark in Test innings in equal number of innings. Pujara, like Dravid, has taken 67 innings to reach 3k, 84 innings to reach 4k and 108 innings to complete 5k runs in the longest format.
After the end of play on the first day, where the temperatures soared to about 39 degrees, Pujara toiled hard for every run.
"Although we play a lot of our cricket in India, the heat in Australia is different. It was a tough surface to bat on, initially, but after I settled down after a couple of sessions, I was confident," Pujara said in the video posted by bcci.tv.
"Once we lost Ashwin, I had to accelerate, I started playing my shots. This was one of my best Test innings. After batting for almost," Pujara added.
After batting for 246 balls on the first day of the tour, he said that he will be visiting the physio and even though he doesn't like to take ice baths, he will have to for another gruelling day on Friday.

"I'll have to recover a lot, will see the physio and get a massage. The weather has been really hot and humid. Although, we play a lot of cricket in India, but the heat in Australia is different. I'm not a big fan of ice bath but will have to take it today," Pujara said.
"I did take my protein shake for recovery, hopefully, it will give me some protein today. I should be back on the field tomorrow. Has to be a chocolate milkshake," he added.

Green Dot Program Strengthens Widener's Commitment to Safe Campus Culture
October 30, 2019 By Riley Smith '21 English & Anthropology
Widener Newsroom
Staff and faculty participated in the Green Dot training in May.
Widener University faculty and staff are committed to facilitating a safe environment for everyone in the Widener community. To achieve that, the university has launched the Green Dot program.
What is Green Dot?
Traditional prevention programs aimed at reducing dating violence, sexual violence, and stalking may only approach men as potential perpetrators and women as potential victims, but Green Dot approaches all students, staff, administrators, and faculty as allies. The national program relies on the premise that if everyone does their small part and commits to individual responsibility, the combined effect is a safe campus culture that is intolerant of violence.
The college-based curriculum draws heavily on the experiences of college students and encourages participants to envision the type of world in which they want to live.
Studies have shown that across the country on college campuses and in high schools where Green Dot is present, there has been reduced sexual violence. One study in 2010-2013 found that interpersonal violence victimization rates were 17 percent lower among students attending a campus that had implemented Green Dot.
Two Green Dot training programs have been offered at Widener.
How did Widener get involved?
Widener received the "It's on Us" grant, a $30,000 grant to bring awareness and tools to campus for the prevention of sexual violence. This team was directed by Alison Dougherty, associate vice president of human resources, Title IX coordinator, and Widener CARE team member.
The Green Dot program embraces the diversity present on campuses and works to enable every person to make a difference.
When were the trainings?
Green Dot has facilitated two trainings on Widener's campus in May and October. Staff and faculty participants learned the dynamics of power-based violence and how to intervene as a bystander when signs of violence are present.
"It was a diverse representation of people across campus," Dougherty said. "It was really exciting at orientation -- we had four to five people representing all of the different departments on campus, truly showing an institutional commitment."
The program also empowers students with the knowledge and tools to be aware of and prevent sexual-based violence. Students in the 1821 Experience Pre-Orientation Program participated in the Green Dot training this summer. The training prepared them to be bystanders who intervene in necessary situations. Students walked away from the training inspired to share this knowledge with peers across campus.
What do participants say?
Tim Cairy, director of Student Success & Retention and Widener CARE team member, was an active participant in the first training. Cairy, along with the others trained, play a crucial part in the vigilance and knowledge needed to keep Widener a community that cares for one another.
Everybody plays a part in prevention and in education. If you see something, say something, do something. This is the mentality that Green Dot has inspired us to have. Regardless of who you are, what role you play on campus, here, in your home community, in your own personal life, there are ways to help. - Tim Cairy
Widener is committed to ensuring our beautiful campus is safe and diverse, and that our community continues to feel like a second family. With Green Dot, every person can take an active role in creating this environment.
"Whether you're the outspoken person who would jump right in the middle and break a situation up without any fear, if you're the person who is a little fearful of the repercussions of getting involved, if you are a quiet person, very reserved, and doesn't like in any capacity to get involved, there are ways that even that everyone can make a difference," said Cairy.
How can faculty, staff and students get involved?
There are more Green Dot trainings on the way for faculty, staff and students. A three-hour bystander training will be held Nov. 10, as well as a winter training for faculty and staff.
President's Message: Spring 2020
President Julie Wollman welcomes faculty, staff and students to the start of the spring semester.
International Scholarship Recipient Finds Home at Widener
Nigerian student Chiamaka Oduah is the university's first recipient of the #YouAreWelcomeHere scholarship for international students.
Students Lead New Mental Health Resource on Campus
Widener students used their summer research project to build a potentially life-saving mental health resources on campus.

Drop us a line, we're always happy to chat.


Too often we make the mistake of labeling an individual who is a great presenter of material as a great communicator. Being a skilled presenter is definitely important. But it takes practicing more of the leadership qualities listed above to be a GREAT COMMUNICATOR as a leader.
Based on the above commentary, please choose who you believe to be the "Greatest Communicator," from the last six presidents of the United States?
This poll will end on Sunday 10/12/03, when the results will be displayed.
From this poll, it appears that 57% of our respondents believe that Ronald Reagan possessed the "total package" as a Great Communicator. He was not only a great Presenter but he also possessed the leadership qualities of Honesty, Energy & Passion being a Great Listener, Being Decisive and Being Realistic as described in our prior polls.
President Reagan received lots of training and gained excellent presentation skills during his career in Hollywood. He put those skills to good use as a Governor of California and then again as President of the United States.
Being a Great Communicator takes a conscious effort to learn the necessary presentation skills while practicing the solid fundamentals of great leaders that we have discussed thus-far in our polls and will continue to discuss in future weeks. Start on your journey today, to improve on your skills and practice the qualities we all look for in those that lead us. Then watch your career and lifestyle grow and blossom!

UK election: what does the result mean for the economy and investors?
Boris Johnson has been confirmed as prime minister after the Conservative party made sweeping gains.
The Conservative majority government has three key implications for Brexit, which is the most pressing issue for the UK economy. First, it all but guarantees that the UK will leave the European Union (EU). This election was the last barrier to Brexit, and pro-Remain parties failed to build a voting coalition to back them.
Second, the Withdrawal Agreement will be passed. With over 360 seats and a fresh mandate, Prime Minister Johnson will have plenty of scope to pass the Withdrawal Agreement in January. This will provide certainty for Northern Ireland's economic relationship with the EU.
Third, the prospects for the UK economy remain very uncertain. The free trade agreement to be hammered out is likely to take much longer than the current one-year timeline. Importantly, EU member states need to approve any trade deal. Those members will have their own preferences about the trade agreement so a full trade deal in the short term seems highly unlikely.
Two other clear trends have emerged. The Labour party lost huge ground in former strongholds in northern and midlands 'Leave' constituencies. This reflects voter dissatisfaction with the party's ambiguous Brexit policy and its ongoing challenges with anti-Semitism.
Meanwhile, in Scotland, the SNP has picked up 13 seats. This will embolden calls by the SNP for another Scottish independence referendum. However, a legal referendum would require UK parliamentary approval. The Conservative government is unlikely to provide this, given the focus on getting Brexit done and the unionist stance of the Conservative party.
Looking at financial markets, the solid majority for the Conservative party has led to early strength in sterling, as there is now more clarity about the path for the UK's relationship with the EU. However, one should not forget that sterling is now up over 10% since the August lows. For sterling, it may prove to have been better to travel than to arrive.
The UK equity market has opened up around 1%, but on a day that equity markets across the world are up due to the potential for a US/China trade deal. UK equities have lagged their global peers over the past few years. Investor surveys, positioning data and some valuation measures have suggested that there has been some element of a 'Brexit discount'. Greater clarity on Brexit may allow some of this discount to narrow.
The gilt market has been relatively unmoved by the result. The greater spending pledges contained in the Conservative manifesto have not worried gilt investors so far. It will be important for the incoming government's plans that this sanguine view from bond investors continues.
It should be noted that the Bank of England has appeared to have a greater predilection to raise interest rates than most of its global peers. The Governor and the Monetary Policy Committee will no doubt carefully assess the implications for the government's investment-led growth strategy.
Although the outlook for all UK assets may be clearer, it is still not clear. If the past few years have taught us anything it is that investors should be wary of bumps in the road, both expected and unexpected. It remains wise to be watchful of the road ahead.
Investment involves risk. - The value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up and an investor may get back less than the amount invested. Past performance is not a guide to future results.

Riley and I waited until after the wind storms died down to decorate for Easter. He takes his front yard decorating duties very seriously! As my helper he is in charge of gathering the rocks to weigh down the large eggs and chasing the "tree eggs" down the street if the wind gets them! Would it even be Easter if we didn't have to go next door and get our plastic eggs back from the neighbors?
Bailey is on the mend this week. We have been trying to rest as much as possible. She is back to using all four legs and her sprained knee is feeling better. Steps are no longer an issue and she can sleep in her two legged brother's bed without issue!
Rufus has a tick so we are waiting for the Amazing dog walker to come over and help with removal. We will "drown" the tick in peanut butter, but I need an assistant because otherwise Bailey and Riley will try to help. The last thing I need is a dog covered in peanut butter running through my house with two followers! Luckily all of the four legged are vaccinated against Lyme disease so we just need to get rid of that pest!
Hope your Thursday does not involve sprained knees, dogs covered in peanut butter and flying eggs!

With Gettysburg leading 13-7 after five bouts, the Warriors' Joe Pecaitis and Rams' Andrew Barnett stepped to the mat for a 145-pound match that would go a long way in determining the outcome.
Pecaitis, a returning sectional champion, registered the key 6-4 victory that gave the visitors some breathing room and a lead that would balloon rapidly. Dan Ziegler's follow-up pin just about put things away.
The Rams were never able to recover, winning just two matches the rest of the way and dropping five of the remaining matches by fall.
The loss was the first for the Rams in Division II since the YAIAA went to a three-division setup two years ago. Kennard-Dale had gone a combined 14-0 in the last two seasons while Gettysburg was 6-6 over the same time.
Michael Fata (106), John Halbrendt (120), Dan Ziegler (152), Josh Paul (170), Luke Cross (195) and Tyler Gallagher (220) each recorded falls for the Warriors.
120 — John Halbrendt, Get, pinned Joey Weber, 1:19. 126 — Sam Stewart, KD, maj. Dec. Jacob Evans, 11-3. 132 — Cameron Miller, KD, dec. Garret Young, 9-7. 138 — Dylan Reinert, Get, maj. Dec.

Various ways have been provided with to ensure that you can increase the happiness of your pet. Having a pet is a great thing, and it is always very wise to ensure that the pet is in good health and condition at all times. Therefore, it is obvious that you are going to make use of the things that will make it happy when the pet is sick. Once the pet has fallen sick, it is advisable that you should try providing it with some CBD. The importance of CBD is that it is found in marijuana. The pets have an ability to benefit both physically and emotionally from taking CBD. It has been established that it is actually very beneficial once it has been taken in the required amounts. In addition, CBD is very beneficial since it does not have any effect on the health and the body of the pet. The importance of CBD is that it may actually be taken as a medicine and used to ensure that pain has been relieved. In the process, once the pain has been managed, the pet may actually get some peace and may eventually start eating. It is also the best medicine that has an ability to control the seizures that are usually common in animals, as well as getting rid of tics. The importance of CBD is that it is usually naturally manufactured. This means that it is not manufactured from chemicals, meaning that it does not have any kind of harm to the body of the pet.
In addition, CBD has an ability to prevent inflammation, showing that it has an ability to prevent quite a number of conditions in pets. Also, the best way through which you may have an ability to manage anxiety in pets is through providing the pets with controlled amounts of cannabidiol. Animals, just like the human beings are always likely to suffer from anxiety and stress and loss of appetite. The pets may also suffer from eating different stuffs, which ay result to them vomiting. However, boost of the appetite of the pets may be achieved easily by providing for the pet with cannabidiol. Health benefits are therefore provided through CBD. The importance of CBD is that it may be provided in for of biscuits and oils as well. Once they have been made in form of biscuits, they can be taken by any pet regardless of the body size. In the process, the pet is actually going to get the right amount off CBD that is going to benefit the animal. The importance of the biscuits is that they have been provided in different flavors.


This article is for developers interested in creating add-ons for Heroku's add-on marketplace. For information on using add-ons in your Heroku app, see Add-ons.
It sets one or more config vars in the app with values necessary to communicate with the add-on. These values typically include the cloud service's URL and any credentials necessary to access that URL.
It reads or writes to the app's logs.
It uses the Heroku Platform API for Partners to perform app management actions (such as dyno scaling) on behalf of the app's developer.
Every add-on has one or more plans. Each plan has its own price and associated set of features. When a developer provisions an add-on, they choose which plan they want, and they can change their choice at any time. Billing for add-ons is integrated into standard monthly Heroku billing.
The structure of the resource(s) your add-on provisions depends on the type of service you're providing.
In almost every case, you should provision a user account. If you're developing a data store add-on, you'll probably also immediately provision a new database resource. An exception-reporting service might provision a unique API key in addition to typical user credentials.
After the resource is provisioned, your add-on responds with a URL that the app can use to access its associated resource.
Heroku adds your add-on's returned URL to the app as a config var. It then rebuilds the app and restarts all of its dynos.
The Heroku app is now ready to consume the resource your add-on has provisioned for it.
A Heroku app interacts with an add-on at different times and in different ways depending on the add-on's purpose. For example, a Heroku web app might want to consume an add-on's database resource to fetch all associated records for a particular table view.
The app accesses the add-on resource with the URL that was stored as a config var during the provisioning flow.
Datastore resources (such as MySQL, MongoDB, or Memcache) have their own protocol and use a client library such as ActiveRecord, MongoMapper, or MemcacheClient to access the resource. These URLs for these resources start with the appropriate protocol (mysql://, mongo://, memcache://, and so on).
Web service resources (such as Exceptional or New Relic) use https:// as their protocol.
Your add-on's resource can now process the incoming request from the app, assuming its credentials are valid.
If the request is a read request (such as a SQL SELECT or an HTTP GET), the resource looks up the requested information to return to the app.
If the request is a write request (such as a SQL INSERT or an HTTP POST), the resource stores the payload included in the request and returns an acknowledgment.
After the app receives your resource's response, it can use it however is appropriate for its current task.
An add-on can update the values of config vars it's set for an app at any time. This is helpful for use cases such as refreshing an expired or compromised credential.
An add-on cannot access config vars that were not created by that add-on.
Every Heroku add-on has its own dashboard that customers can access from the Heroku Dashboard or the Heroku CLI. Your add-on's dashboard should provide whatever information and configuration options are applicable to the service you provide.
When a customer accesses your add-on's dashboard, Heroku uses single sign-on (SSO) to confirm the customer's identity to your app. This lets you log the associated user in automatically to provide a seamless experience.
When customer performs an action to open your add-on's dashboard from the Heroku Dashboard or CLI, Heroku generates a single sign-on token using your resource's ID, the current time, and your add-on's salt (a secret shared between Heroku and your add-on).
Your add-on can then confirm that the token matches and the timestamp is fresh. You can set a cookie in the customer's browser to indicate that they are authenticated, then redirect them to their add-on dashboard.
You can also use Heroku SSO to create customer-specific URLs that direct users to their dashboard automatically.
The value of the addon_uuid parameter is the UUID provided in the customer's original provision request.
The value of the app_uuid parameter can be retrieved using a Platform API Add-on Info request.

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to paragraph 52 of the Joint report from the negotiators of the European Union and the United Kingdom Government on progress during phase 1 of negotiations under Article 50 TEU on the United Kingdom's orderly withdrawal from the European Union, whether the commitment made in that paragraph includes all EU rights normally associated with residents in a Member State; and if he will list those rights.
The UK and the EU acknowledge that the Belfast ('Good Friday') Agreement recognises the birth right of all the people of Northern Ireland to choose to be Irish or British or both and be accepted as such. They also recognise that the people of Northern Ireland who are Irish citizens will continue to enjoy rights as EU citizens, including where they reside in Northern Ireland. The UK and the EU therefore agree that the Withdrawal Agreement should respect and be without prejudice to the rights, opportunities and identity that come with European Union citizenship for such people.
The UK has been clear that we are committed to turning all of the commitments made under the Joint Report into legally binding text - that includes those on citizenship rights for the people of Northern Ireland under the terms of the Belfast Agreement.

Wonders: Spectacular Moments In Nature Photography (book review).
Sometimes I pick out books because the geek in me thinks that if I saw a particular book in a shop then I would at least peak behind the cover. 'Wonders: Spectacular Moments In Nature Photography' falls under that category. If you want to be inspired by various aspects of nature and the natural world then you definitely want to peruse and even buy this book. Some of the photographers even share how they took their photos. Some of the creatures even look alien. I was looking at the Jumping Spider and realised I was only focusing on its middle two eyes which shows how we react to what we see. Equally, seeing an eastern screen owl's plumage conceal it in a tree trunk is a reminder of how animals can adapt to their environment.
These are all winners in the Big Picture Natural World Photography Competition, founded in 2014 by the California Academy Of Sciences with over 100 photos here.
Oddly, although Suzi Eszterhas does the introduction to one of the parts and has a small photo of hers, she isn't included in the photographers photo gallery at the end of the book. What she does write is significant as she explains what makes nature photographers go through to get their photographs. This concentration of effort made me realise we're seeing a different branch of geekiness which normal people don't really understand. Other introductions are by Dr. Sylvia A. Earle, Dr. Jonathan Foley and Rhonda Rubinstein.
The landscapes shown are truly alien enough for you to think they aren't of this planet which should show nothing should ever surprise you about this planet.
In many respects, the photos speak for themselves with this book. Most are on one side of a page although a few do creep over the centrefold. I would have thought it would have made more sense to reduce the size of the photo that do that. Nevertheless, all are inspiring and some really hard to believe they were taken on this planet.

Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775, th e seventh of the eight children born to George and Cassandra Austen, and the second of only two girls; her sister Cassandra, to whom she was very close, being two years older. Jane, like Elizabeth Bennet, was a gentleman's daughter. Her father was the Rector of Steventon, a small village in Hampshire, and her mother a member of the Leigh family, which had both intellectual and aristocratic connections. Jane had little formal schooling but her family was a literate and a literary one, and Jane read widely within her father's extensive library. It was at Steventon that she began her writing life, from an early age penning the many pieces now collected as her Juvenilia, then writing the early drafts of three of her novels: Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice.
The family moved to Bath in 1801, following Rev Austen's retirement and they lived there until he died in 1805. Austen then lived in Southampton with her mother and sister until her brother Edward, who had been adopted by wealthy relatives, offered them a cottage on one of his estates, at Chawton in Hampshire. This is the cottage that is now the Jane Austen's House Museum. It was the author's home until her final months in 1817, and where she wrote three of her novels and revised the three earlier ones. She never travelled abroad, and within England none of her journeys ever took her much further north than London.
In the last year of her life Jane became ill with what is now thought to be Addison's Disease, or perhaps a type of cancer, and in May 1817, accompanied by Cassandra, she travelled to Winchester for medical treatment. She died in the early hours of Friday, 18 July 1817 and is buried in the cathedral at Winchester, where her gravestone carries no mention of her works.
Only four of Austen's novels were published during her lifetime: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously at the end of 1817, by her brother Henry Austen (who also chose the names by which we know them). For this publication Henry wrote a 'Biographical Notice of the Author', which was the first formal announcement of Austen's authorship. Austen also left two earlier compositions: a novella called Lady Susan, and a novel that she did not complete, The Watsons. It was written in 1804 and is the only literary record of the years between Steventon and Chawton, a period in which Austen appears to have written little or nothing else. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, of which 12 chapters survive.

My name is Ander Negrazis, RP MEd. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in private practise centering neurodivergent and gender divergent communities. My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in Depathologising, Anti-Oppressive, Trauma Informed approaches to mental health and community based healing. My professional expertise is enriched by my personal experience as autistic, neurodivergent, queer, and non-binary trans.
I focus on three interconnected areas:
Neurodivergence & Disability
Gender, Sexuality & Relationships
Creativity & Work-Life Balance
Educational Background and Credentials
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I completed my Masters of Education in Counselling Psychology at the Ontario Institute For Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto, where I focussed on developing de-pathologizing, queer and trans affirming, disability and neurodivergent-centered therapeutic modalities and theoretical frameworks.
I hold an Hon. BA in Arts Informed Research and Critical Pedagogy from York University. With this interdisciplinary degree I drew from Studio Arts (Drawing & Printmaking), Gender and Sexuality Studies, Women's Studies, Critical Disability Studies, and Critical and Historical Sociology to study social movement histories, activist research, critical theory, community arts, and arts-informed research methodologies to develop an accessible pedagogical and research methodology using visual narrative.

Clemson Women's Soccer
Tigers Host Orange Sunday at Historic Riggs Field
CLEMSON, S.C. – The 22nd-ranked Clemson women's soccer team hosts Syracuse Sunday, Oct. 12, at 1 p.m. at Historic Riggs Field. Admission is free to all home regular season soccer games. The game will be broadcast on TigerCast.
Clemson is 9-2-2 on the season and 2-2-1 in the ACC, most recently defeating Duke 1-0 on Oct. 9 at Historic Riggs Field. The win was the Tigers' first over the Blue Devils since Nov. 3, 2007 (1-0 in Clemson), and sophomore Catrina Atanda's goal was the first Clemson had scored against Duke since 2007 as well. Clemson currently sits in seventh place in the conference standings.
The Tigers are led in scoring by Atanda with six goals and one assist for 13 points. The sophomore midfielder scored the lone goal in Clemson's last two games, the 1-0 win over Duke on Oct. 9 at the 1-1 double-overtime tie at Wake Forest on Oct. 4. Four Tigers have at least 10 points on the season and 12 different players have scored at least one goal. Freshman forward Shannon Horgan leads the team and is tied for fourth in the ACC with six assists on the season. Sophomore goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan has posted 30 saves and allowed just eight goals in over 1043 minutes played, and now has six shutouts (four solo) on the season.
Syracuse is 5-6-3 on the season (2-3 ACC) and is currently ranked seventh in the ACC standings. The Orange are coming off a 2-0 loss to second-ranked Florida State earlier this week. Syracuse is led by forward Stephanie Skilton, with eight goals and one assist for 17 points on the season. Sophomore McKenzie Moranz and freshman Courtney Brosnan have combined for 67 saves and have allowed 16 goals through 14 games.
Clemson won the first meeting between the two programs in 2013, a 1-0 decision played in Syracuse, N.Y. Kylie Tawney netted the gamewinner in that contest, and was assisted by Katelyn Reeve.

There are many strange things about blogging; stalking people on twitter, it being socially acceptable for your food to get cold while you take photos of it, not to mention the overuse of the words awesome/brilliant/amazing. But among the strangest is the ability to get a preview of a Christmas afternoon tea in September, complete with carols played on a harp.
Last Christmas I went to the Intercontinental St James and was entirely underwhelmed by their offering; the scones were cold, the treats a bit meh and the ultimate offence they made us share the solo helping of sweet things. So when I heard that the Bloggers Afternoon Tea was going back to the same hotel for a preview of their Christmas afternoon I was not exactly amped. I know that the hotel had changed its name to the Conrad St James and I just had my fingers crossed that the afternoon tea offering had had a revamp as well.
The London Blogger afternoon teas are fantastic, if you are a blogger and want to talk shop/meet some fellow typing crazies then you have to sign up for the next one. Conversations with my table veered wildly between camera settings, the best cafes in London and how to approach PR companies. I can't tell you how much I appreciate these chances to chat, its entirely different to listening to a formal talk or the hidden desperation of networking. This tea is just celebrating or commiserating the highs and lows of being a blogger.
This hobby or career (depending on your inclinations) doesn't have a rule book. There is no degree or career path, and even if you tried to copy the tactics of someone else it is no guarantee of success. So as silly as it sounds the casual chatter of bloggers drinking tea (and champagne) is actually the best way to learn, grow and refine your craft. Oh and it turns out that Sony cameras have a selfie mode…go figure.
Sorry I got a bit distracted there. Christmas right? I had nothing to fear, the Conrad afternoon tea was every bit as magical as I could have wished for. After a standard but really tasty sandwich and scone diversion, I focused mainly on the top tier which held special Christmas savories. My favorite by far (good enough to use the 'hey look over there' tactic to steal one from another blogger) was the mini-venison pie, just so full of flavour and meaty pastry goodness. Also worth a mention are the spreads that the scones came with, normally you get clotted cream and a jam (or lemon curd if the chef has something to prove). But finally a hotel is doing something a bit different and we were served blackberry curd – other afternoon teas take note, the spreads is an area where you can be creative!
After consuming my body weight in Jing tea the grand finale was revealed to us. Under a glass canopy was an entire winter wonderland scene, complete with Christmas trees, scarf wearing snowmen and snow. In that moment even though we were having an Indian summer and it was still September I was instantly transported to the world of mulled wine, presents and bad Christmas jumpers.
I went straight for the ginger and white chocolate snowflake macaron, a beautiful light flavour to have as part of a massive afternoon tea. I then tried to tackle the Christmas tree which was without being overly dramatic (totally unlike me) was shocking. I was expecting chocolate or cake at the very least, but my spoon went straight through it. It was a berry moose on top of a brownie rolled in something green with chocolate stars on. An absolute masterpiece. Again it was lovely to see something so light in an afternoon tea, it just means you can eat more.
Since this is Christmas lets end this post with a moral: if you are looking for a magical themed Christmas afternoon tea I vote go to the Conrad St James. And if you can take a group of 3o bloggers along then all the better.
Literally across the road from my work, and looking for a place to take my little Aussie admin before she leaves, this looks perfect!
You totally should – but promise me you will wear terrible Christmas jumpers!
