Top Boy Season 4: Creator Bennett Reveals Plot Details, Release Date & More
By Apoorva Agrawal
Top Boy, the British crime series first released in 2011 on Channel 4. Channel 4 then dropped the show is 2013. And after almost six years, Netflix revived the show. The third season of Top Boy is now out. Fans are looking forward to more of the crime drama. Is Top Boy Season 4 happening?
Back in November 2017, rumors about rapper Drake and Netflix bringing back the show surfaced. Later on, Netflix ordered ten episodes. Both Kane Robinson and Ashley Walters, who were a part of the first and second season, reprised their role for the third season of the show. Created by Ronan Bennett, the show premiered in September 2019. In December 2019, Top Boys Season 4 was renewed. Recently Bennett has spoken about what could be coming up in Top Boy Season 4. Here are all the details about it-
More of Sully In Top Boy Season 4
Ronan Bennett, the creator and writer for Top Boy revealed that all fans could expect to see Sully's vulnerable side. He saw his friend Jase die in an attack. He spent all of the third season grieving from the loss. In an interview, Bennett says that viewers will see more of Sully's human side in the installment to come. On the aspect of Sully's character development, fans will see him struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the next season.
Talking about this, Bennett says that he remembers being at his keyboard and thinking about the show. He was working through what happens after Sully has escaped and is alive while his friend is no more. Bennett put his hand on his face while typing and smelled charcoal on his fingers. He kept thinks about that and going with that idea that what if this smell was a sign for him. Dushane says that if one can smell it in your sleep, it isn't real. To this, Bennett says that this thing might not be real for Dushane, but it is real for Sully. This has helped them get beyond the idea of someone who in the first and second season was quite quick-tempered and used his fists. They will take a step further in Top Boy Season 4.
Will Top Boy Season 4 Be The Last?
As of this moment, no. Top Boy was initially supposed to be only a season-long on Netflix. However, now three seasons are out with fourth in works. Netflix has not yet spoken anything about if this series would be the last of the show or not. So, at the moment we can be optimistic and say that we will get more of the show. However, this also depends on how well the fourth season is received.
When Is The Show Releasing?
According to Netflix, Top Boy Season 4 is expected to get into production this spring. Top Boy was one of the most popular series on Netflix in 2019. Recently Ashley Walters, who portrays Dushane on the show, revealed that they had started working on the fourth season. If the show gets into production as expected, we might get to see the show sometime in the first half of 2021.

Elizabeth Rew does not have any friends in her high school; unlike most teens, she actually gets the most joy out of her school work. After writing an A+ paper on the Brothers Grimm for her history teacher, Mr. Mauskopf, he offers to set her up with a job. She agrees and finds herself working at a freakin' sweet and unique library. Rather than lending books, this library (repository) lends materials, like chess sets, antique doublets, parasols and vases. In addition to that stuff in the main stacks, the 'dungeon' has all of the magical and science fiction-y items, straight out of fairy tales and novels. Elizabeth finds danger, excitement, friends and romance once she finally gets to open the door to the Grimm Collection in the dungeon.
The Grimm Legacy brimmed with magic. I love the premise; I so want to work at that library! The magical objects are hilarious to read about and Elizabeth is exceedingly likable. While many of the side characters lack depth, they were not totally static either. The focus of the book is more on Elizabeth's feelings about herself and development as a person that it is on the dastardly plot of a villain to steal the priceless items from the Grimm Collection. The whole mystery plot line is a bit absurd, with the bad guys never seeming any real threat and not being particularly hard to discern either. That said, do not read this out of a love for mystery.
This is a book for book lovers; Shulman's love of books and libraries exudes from every page. She compares Elizabeth to an ordinary fairy tale heroine throughout the story and makes some clever observations. It is always nice to find more teen books where the heroine does not have to be incredibly beautiful or a princess or an incredibly beautiful princess. Elizabeth is smart and, while certainly no troll, not particularly pretty. Her romance, too, follows a more believable pattern than I see in much teen literature.
This is a fun, fast-paced, magical read, well worth your time!


How do you use proxies in mIRC?
Like when a user has lots of @idjdkjsa mad stuff hiding their real ip, how is that done?
Is there a way of doing this in Windows?
This could be becasue the IRC server you are on has encryption set on the host. It uses certian keys in the configuration to encrypt uses host, and then when a user connects set them to wx so it encrypts there host.
Hope it helps, and Merry Christmas.
A proxy doesn't set your IP addy to all sorts of strange random characters, but it does set your ip to whatever the IP of the proxy/bnc/bouncer is.


That it was simply natural to get involved.
But the sixth motive, explaining the Christian perspective, really spoke for grace – that is, unconditional love. It underpins those other five, because there is no monopoly for Christians in receiving the grace of God. Christians may be in the best position to articulate what it's all about, but God acts through whom He will.
That is what unconditional love does. It leaves no option but to reach out to help others. We call it volunteering but it is in fact extraordinarily involuntary. That love, flowing through us for others, just has to keep going.
Human feelings are important: appreciation, thanks and recognition are not conditions but are nevertheless highly valued. The needs of the volunteer should not be forgotten in the zeal to help others.
Life doesn't go on forever: often initiatives are driven by a small number of individuals, and the time comes when they can't go on any more. Don't push them to the limit, and they should feel no sense of guilt when their initiative draws to a close because there's no one to step into their shoes. Succession plans are great if they can be arranged, but voluntary initiatives often have a life cycle of their own: they're born, they live, they die - and another is born somewhere else. That's the way it happens, so don't try to institutionalise something which can't be institutionalised.
Let the vocation of the volunteer run its course: if you try to mould it into something else there is a risk it will die. This is the process by which a thousand flowers bloom, not an opportunity for establishing a grand plan.

Kang So-ra returns to dramaland with Jang Seung-jo for ENA
Kang So-ra (Revolutionary Love) is making her dramaland return after five years with ENA's legal rom-com, Can We Be Strangers. Jang Seung-jo (Good Detective 2) costars as her former husband and current law firm colleague.
The two were once married, and after they divorced they built out separate lives, essentially becoming strangers. Post-divorce, their lives come together once more when they both begin working at the same law firm. Now reunited, they come to realize that divorce was actually the easy part of their relationship.
Kang So-ra's character Oh Ha-ra is a star in her field, specializing in divorce. She has a sort of love-hate relationship with her former husband and current colleague, Gu Eun-bum (played by Jang Seung-jo). She wants to hate him, but can't actually manage to muster up the hate. Joining the main cast we also have Moo Jin-sung (Birthcare Center) as Min Jae-kyum. He's a close friend of Eun-bum's and has a special bond with Oh Ha-ra. (Man, there are so many ways to interpret the meaning of "special bond.")
The first look at our drama comes via a poster and a short, snappy video teaser. The video starts with an introduction to Oh Ha-ra, whose nickname is "The Goddess of Divorces." In voiceover, we hear her ask, "Well, if it isn't Mr. Ex-husband." Gu Eun-bum gives a chirpy "Ta-da!" Copy pops up on the screen: "It's me, your ex-husband."
In the next cut, instead of responding with a hello, or handshake, or anything non-violent, Oh Ha-ra grabs him by the necktie and wields a knife in a pretty threatening way while Eun-bum cowers. She angrily states, "He's not a lawyer, he's a conman." In tandem, copy runs across the screen reading: "Divorce is easy, breaking up is hard." Snippets of the two together flash across the screen, but then the teaser slows down to focus on them sharing a meal. Eun-bum leans in and starts to ask, "So, can we…" Ha-ra finishes the question, "Be strangers?"
I'm so glad to have Kang So-ra back in dramaland that I don't even mind that we're getting yet another legal drama, after a year of so many legal dramas. I'm also intrigued by the drama's focus on personal growth — lately, I've been drawn to coming-of-age stories of characters who should be full-on adulting, but aren't quite there yet. Plus, how can I say no to a drama with Jang Seung-jo as male lead?
Directed by Kim Yang-hee (Our Blues) and written by Park Jin-ri, Can We Be Strangers will premiere in ENA's Wednesday-Thursday time slot sometime in January 2023.

It'd be great if this was like a 40s' screwball comedy. Something like The Awful Truth or The Philadelphia Story.
Reply1988
Now that you have said that I can just see it. I looked them up and the one I would go for is High Society. I could also see Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy type couple. I loved watching those black and white films on a Sunday afternoon.
I think High Society was a remake of The Philadelphia Story. I should check it out since I like Grace Kelly.
Yes it was and I loved it and I now have the stand out song Who wants to be a millionaire going around my head.
OldLawyer
It is a wonderful musical, one of Cole Porter's very best. It had a stellar cast, including the great Louis Armstrong as the narrator, as well as a character and performer.
It was also Grace Kelly's last film.
In short, this is one of the all-time great musicals and, if you have not seen it, you have been missing out. I would urge everyone to watch it if you have not already. We have our own copy and have watched it many times.
It really is a wonderful film. Having your own copy must be great. I bet it's one like White Christmas that gets wheeled out for guaranteed feel good factor.
missvictrix
@miso2019 From your lips to the drama gods' ears. The Philadelphia Story is one of my favorite movies EVER!
Mine too!
♡Peach_Mochi♡
Yes!! Those are two of my favorite movies, which I was introduced to by — of all things — a philosophy class. I'd love to see the K-drama take on what the professor called the "comedy of remarriage." Another classic in that genre: "His Girl Friday" with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell as divorced, bickering newspaper editor and reporter.
Yes I have seen that one too.❤

This has the potential to be a great rom com with the legal element as a minor background character. I can see the friend being the key player thinking they were made for each other but drifted apart unnecessarily due to stress of life, like the couples in Go back couple and Familiar wife.

As long as they keep the legal shenanigans in the background just a prop to hold up the romcom hijinks, I'm good. Jang Seung-jo and Kang So-ra are a great pairing in my mind, I hope their chemistry lives up to my expectations.

Right, how can we say no to a drama with Jang Seungjo as male lead? To woo Kang Sora all he'll have to do is look at her with his sad eyes that are always close to tears. But it looks like we'll also get to see a cute and annoying and mischievous Jang Seungjo here. I'm so ready.
Diana Hansen
I second that motion!
THIRD!

I'm in for this one, looks promising!
6 Kafiyah Bello
looks good!!!
7 Dorotka
I like both actors.
Hope the drama will be good!
8 LaurenSophie
I want this to be the show I thought "May It Please the Court" was going to be.
9 Diana Hansen
This is exciting! I also love Kang So-ra and Jang Seung-jo so the two of them together is awesome! On first read through, it sounds like it might be based on their relationship mainly and lawyering not so. I am one who likes lawyer shows so either way it's a win win drama!
10 OldLawyer
Potential here. I will check it out.
11 ar
Yay Kang Sora is back!!
12 Mike
I'm sure Kang So-ra would rather be known for having been in 'Misaeng' than for 'Revolutionary Love'. She did a fine job in RL but - oof, that was a bad drama.

"I prefer errors of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom." - Anatole France
UK: Schoolboy suspended for long hair
The family of a boy suspended from a Gloucester school for refusing to cut his hair took legal action to force his re-instatement.
Sam Grant, aged 16, was suspended from Sir Thomas Rich School after refusing to cut his hair short.
The teenager, who has mixed-race parents, said he grew his hair to prevent racist remarks from pupils.
He was allowed back after his parents challenged the school saying the ban had affected their son's schoolwork.
Sam said: "It's easier and friendlier for people to comment on my hair and call me 'mophead' or something like that rather than derogatory names."
"I'm mixed-race and I found that having longer hair ended remarks of a racist nature."
Sam's father, solicitor Stephen Grant, said the school had discriminated against him on grounds of sex and race and that the rule was old-fashioned.
"The reaction of the school was ridiculous and we were totally shocked at its inflexibility and failure to engage in meaningful debate about the underlying issues."
Mediation agreed
He added: "I understand they have school rules but to suspend him from coming back to school unless he cut his hair was draconian.
"Pupils committing acts of theft and damage received less severe disciplinary sanctions."
The incident started in March 2005, when Sam and a number of other boys were told to get their hair cut.
When he refused he was suspended at the end of June for 10 days.
His father applied for an injunction blocking the suspension but as part of the proceedings both parties agreed to mediation which resulted in Sam being allowed to finish his GCSEs.
A spokeswoman for Sir Thomas Rich School said she could not comment under the terms of an agreement reached on the case with the family.
Sam has since left the school, and plans to study for his A-levels at another location.

Emma may says:
my best friend got suspended from a catholic school cause the colour in her hair was not natural and was not aloud to come back to school unless it was gone her mum went to the education department and they did nothing about it, it was pathetic cause she had to pay for something the school wanted or she would have to go to another school and make new friends, things like that is crap if our hair color is not natural it is not going to interfere with our learning

Neskantaga and Eabametoong First Nations Issue Declaration of Alliance and Shared Regulatory Territory
Fix Mining Laws
Put People and Ecosystems First
OntarioIndigenous Rights
Neskantaga and Eabametoong First Nations
(Toronto) The communities of Neskantaga and Eabametoong continue to stand together while pointing to the way forward in the north, and on the Ring of Fire. These two First Nations, united by a shared history, are committing to advance their interests through a political alliance to regulate and protect their combined territories.
"Our people have always managed the land according to our principles, values, and knowledge. We are committed to moving forward in ways that strengthen our people and provide hope for the future. This alliance is natural and a positive step. We share family lines, our lands and rivers as well as principled positions on development," said Chief Moonias.
Chief Atlookan stated, "We are here today to honour our ancestors, create new opportunities for our youth, and to demonstrate to all our members that we are carrying forward the vision we have heard from our people. That vision is of a healthy and prosperous region, achieved through the recognition of our rights and responsibilities as stewards of the land. The land belongs to the Creator, and the people belong to the land. We support positive community and regional development. We have been saying that for years and working hard to ensure that anything that happens in our region is a positive contribution to community life. We are declaring our role as informed decision-makers must be recognized in the planning, assessment, and final decisions for any projects in our area."
The nine Matawa Nations and the Ontario government have held four years of productive exploratory talks under the Regional Framework Agreement process and Statement of Commitments which recognized the need for an enhanced environmental assessment process on a regional basis and agreed to create 'joint decision-making processes' involving all of the Nations in the region.
"We are disappointed that Ontario's new government has terminated their negotiator and temporarily suspending funding. This will slow the process of reaching agreement and potentially delay future developments in the Ring of Fire. However, we remain committed to the process and the principles already agreed" said Wayne Moonias, Chief of the Neskantaga First Nation.
While the Ford government is quietly using some communities to advance bare-bones environmental processes to get roads planned, these Chiefs warn that approach is fraught with legal and technical issues that will backfire.
Chief Atlookan added, "By ignoring the voices of our people, and secretly working to impact the rights of our members, Ontario is not only frustrating a process that we established as Treaty partners, they are now creating unnecessary legal risk for the Ring of Fire projects and access roads. We haven't said no to any of these projects, but our people are being excluded from the decisions that will impact us."
"It was the same way with Landore and their exploration project. Both the company and the government failed to act honourably. In this case, however, we are talking about a quick and dirty approach to opening the whole north, and the stakes are much higher. I'm honestly confused as to why Ontario won't sit down with us. We went to Queen's Park in September to ask direct questions about reconciliation and the Ring of Fire, but Ford's lack of understanding and action is making a difficult situation far worse."
Despite the Ford government's suspension of the Regional Framework Agreement negotiations, these two First Nations are inviting the Premier to visit their communities and reaffirm Ontario's commitment to the common principles and objectives in the 2011 Unity Declaration, signed by all nine Matawa Chiefs.
In the meantime, we will be establishing our own processes.
We confirm that the priority issues, as agreed with Ontario at our Jurisdiction Table negotiations are road infrastructure and road ownership and governance, land management, and permitting. We encourage Ontario to continue with the processes that will lead to a common agreement.
To get the estimated $60 Billion+ of chromite, nickel and other minerals from the Matawa Nation homelands onto the world market, Ontario wants to build hundreds of kilometres of industrial roads and potentially a railway - crossing forests, globally significant wetlands, our ancestral Indigenous lands and many rivers.
Chief Moonias stated, "If built, the road(s) to the Ring of Fire will open up the entire region to uncontrolled mining development, changing our way of life and bringing with it increased risks to the fish and wildlife we depend upon and pollution in our lakes and river systems that could last forever. The homelands of Eabametoong and Neskantaga are in the path of these proposed industrial mining roads and some of the richest orebodies in the ROF area, but we will fight back unless we arrive at a negotiated agreement with Ontario on the scale, pace and forms of development that are helpful to our people as we work towards a sustainable future."
We are asking the public to stand with the communities of Eabametoong and Neskantaga, who are protecting lands, water, wildlife and our wetlands and river systems, and hold the Ford government to account. ROF projects will impact many communities throughout the whole watershed, and we are now reaching out to all who have an interest in being involved in these critical decisions.

The announcement of Google TV going international was received initially with some excitement. But slowly reality dawned. At £200 ($310) the device looks expensive, and on further examination of the services currently available – YouTube, Google's own VOD store and iPlayer the only major services of note – it looks underwhelming. However, as a standalone device it is not too far off what Apple offers on its Apple TV devices.
Many of the features that Google touted as revolutionary with the launch of Google TV some pay-TV providers and CE manufacturers have already begun to offer – even if it is not as elegantly achieved. The most notable is search across live TV, recorded TV and on-demand services that is becoming increasingly common on Pay-TV set-top boxes.
Writing off Google TV because so far it has failed to impress so far would be presumptuous. Like Android, which has taken time to develop into the mature OS it is today; Google TV is not a finished product right now but a work in progress.
Furthermore, Google should be congratulated for updating legacy Google TV devices with each new iteration. The same cannot be said of many Smart TV manufacturers, who routinely abandon last year's devices as soon as the next one is launched.
It is not just the weight of history that should compel judgment to be withheld. There is also the expectation of what Google is going to do next. Rumors swirling ahead of Google's IO event may point the way, and if they do Google TVs future may well be exciting. There is the persistent mention of a Nexus tablet. Apple's great strength in the home right now is derived from the sizeable install base around the iPad. The Nexus tablet may well be Google's first serious attempt to combat Apple's hegemony.
There is also the question of why now? Why have Sony and Vizio announced Google TV devices internationally and in the US respectively this week. Their timing would be quite off if the launches of these devices did not coincide with a major announcement surrounding Google TV. And the Google TV blog hinted that more announcements and details could be expected at IO.
Potentially we could see the oft spoke of Android@Home entertainment service, something that if the leaks are to be believed is akin to Apple's Airplay service and Microsoft's soon to be launched Smart Glass. If this is announced then it has the potential to be a real game changer, turning the device from a stand along online video STB to something truly integrated within the wider android device family.
Not that Google TV is merely aping what Apple TV already does. There are many ways it sets itself apart. Google TV comes with a fully functioning version of Google's Chrome browser. And whilst it may be doubtful how many users actually wish to browse the internet on their TV, if they do Chrome will provide an excellent experience. Furthermore Google has already brought its app store Google Play to the Google TV platform. At first it may be asked who wants to play Angry Birds on the TV? But the popularity of casual games is clear, and with the major consoles only offering a perfunctory experience for these users Google TV may well be the first mass market casual games console.
For now Google TV lags behind Apple TV and its other competitors. And faced with the option many consumers will find themselves balking at the price. But as Vizio has shown it is possible to launch a Google TV STB for under US$100. For Sony and Google to succeed in pushing this device the price will need to be reevaluated. The STB market is already very crowded and at present the Google TV STB is just not compelling enough for users to buy it, few will be sold on its potential alone.

Fake doctor rubs oil, robs patients of their money
A fake Sri Lankan doctor cheated a young mother and her daughter by claiming to have cured them of 'severe ill luck' and persuading the woman to pawn her gold necklace for Rs15,000 to pay his fees, 'Gossip C Lanka' has reported.
The culprit, who had been traveling through a village selling medicinal oils while introducing himself as a mystic and a skillful traditional doctor, told the victims he could remove their bad luck by applying his magic oils on their bodies to which they agreed.
After some days, he had returned with some oil and asked the mother to come alone covering her body with a white cloth to his room where he applied oil all over her body and repeated the same on her 18-year-old daughter.
Later, he had told the woman that her gold necklace was the cause of her bad luck and asked her to pay his fee by pawning it for Rs15,000.
The woman, who thought that the culprit had removed her bad luck, paid the money by pawning the necklace.
A few days later, the woman realized that the 'doctor' had cheated them and demanded return of her money and threatened to lodge of police complaint if he did not.
The culprit immediately paid their money and threw them out of his house.
It had been revealed that the fake doctor had been remanded earlier for selling illicit brew.

Company of Heroes 2 (PC) Review
Most RTS titles nowadays focus on a commitment to a preconceived strategy; Company of Heroes 2 is not that type of game. This game is all about tactics and clever play. Each unit has unique abilities that must be utilized intelligently to succeed, making each and every mission success a joy unlike anything you're bound to feel while playing a game. Beating a mission in a game like Star Craft 2 is fun, but taking down that tank that's been harassing your troops in Company of Heroes 2 is invigorating. The game can be brutally difficult, requiring a level of micromanagement skills few of us can comprehend, but that only aids in making every success all the more satisfying. Unfortunately, a large portion of the campaign hamstrings you so much in unit availability and mission structure that it's almost easier to continuously spawn units in to accomplish some objectives, which really detracts from the tactical appeal of the gameplay. That being said, the campaign really ramps up, and will challenge your inner tactician, as will the invigorating multiplayer.
The Theater of War mode in Company of Heroes 2 is where I found the most enjoyment. The mode puts you in different scenarios, both single player and cooperative, and have you compete for high scores. The scenarios entertaining and variable, from timed survival missions to unique mission objectives that bring the type of creativity and uniqueness the campaign lacked at points. I won't spoil them here, but trust me, these missions really are a blast to play, and a few of them will really push you to your intellectual limits at higher difficulties. Beating these missions grants small unlockable rewards ranging from the cosmetic to actual gameplay bonuses. None of the bonuses seem game-breaking, and it's a neat idea to reward players for their accomplishments beyond just skin variations.
Campaign Presentation
First of all, let me say the story in Company of Heroes 2 is not bad. It is a bit jarring at first to play from the perspective of the Red Army after playing as the plucky, yet heroic, Americans in the original game, but the change in setting allows for a mature tale from perhaps the most gruesome theater of any war in human history. That being said, it's all presented in a way that leaves a lot to be desired. The cut-scenes look like they came straight out of the beginning of this generation, and lack any of the emotive animations we've seen from a plethora of titles over the past few years. It all just falls really flat, and makes the whole story feel like a missed opportunity. The narrative behind the presentation is quite well-written, so the fact that the execution misses as it does is a real disappointment.
Multiplayer Not Friendly to Newcomers
If you haven't played the original Company of Heroes, then be prepared to be frustrated with its sequel. There really isn't a proper primer for the multiplayer making the barrier to entry quite high for those with no experience. The campaign puts you in a lot of scripted scenarios that limit you in some way, or have you tackle objectives contrary to those you'd find in multiplayer. In general, the campaign is slower, often smaller, and more limited than the multiplayer, making the tactical intellectual challenge of the multiplayer seem, well…too challenging. It's just a shame that Relic didn't include some sort of introduction for newcomers into the multiplayer, because the experience really is so rewarding.
It would be easy to critique Company of Heroes 2 for resembling the original to such an extent, but it's hard to hold that against it. The original Company of Heroes was a landmark in the genre that innovated in virtually every aspect of its design, so being compared to such a title is still a great accomplishment. Sure, Company of Heroes 2 is not as revolutionary as the original, but it didn't need to be in order to be great. If you're looking for the next revolutionary RTS title, keep looking. I'll be off playing Company of Heroes 2.

In light of community concerns raised around systemic racism, discriminatory practices like carding and mass demonstrations demanding an investigation into the death of a racialized man, failing to even read the report for over a month is simply disgraceful. Now refusing to release the report to the public without any justification is simply unacceptable. It shows us why grassroots organizing by community groups like Black Lives Matter - Toronto is so important. If the Premier and Ontario's Attorney General are serious about addressing systemic racism in our criminal justice system, they have an odd way of showing it.

So clearly when you combine some of my favourite things I get a little excited! Warm weather + cycling = silly snapchat videos. ...and just in time for tonight's 2016 Ontario Bike Summit hosted by Share The Road!
It was an unfair question, with the sale of Hydro One it's clear that Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals are not only learning from Mike Harris they're trying to outdo him. Step 1. Privatize public assets and put the province in a worse off fiscal position. Step 2. Undermine the democratic process.
I am so honoured that with the love and support of the community, I was able to present a motion in Parliament that received unanimous consent to raise the Nishaan Sahib at the Provincial Parliament in Toronto on Vaisakhi, April 14, 2016.
The Sikh Flag or Nishaan Sahib has officially been raised at the Ontario Legislative Assembly! The fact that this motion was presented and passed unanimously today on April 14th, 2016 the day Sikhs celebrate Vaisakhi makes it all the more meaningful. This marks the first time in Ontario's history and possibly the first time in any Parliament or Legislature in the world that the Nishaan Sahib was raised outside of Punjab.
Apr 15, 2016 8:40 am | Ontario, Bramalea—Gore—Malton
I have to admit, it's pretty cool to make a statement in the Legislature about Vaisakhi on Vaisakhi!
Day of Pink Today people wear pink shirts in a show of solidarity to end bullying. As a young Sikh boy growing up in a city without a lot of diversity, I got picked on a lot. I had funny sounding name, brown skin and a turban. In case you're wondering, yes this definitely gave bullies a lot of ammunition. Kids didn't only laugh and make fun of me but they also attacked me for being different. I remembering getting into fights on an almost daily basis. I was a tough kid so I tried my best to stand up for myself but it's not something I would wish on anyone. Life can be hard enough without having to worry about bullies. I figured more than a pink shirt a pink turban would be a stronger statement of my support of the movement to #StopBullying Together let's stop bullying and build a more accepting society
Huge congrats to Harman Singh and Harpreet Singh, co-founders of LAB•B Brampton's first co-working space, who over the past 3 years have worked to provide a free and accessible space for creative minds to get their dreams off the ground. After years of hard work, Lab-B has been selected as a recipient of $300,000 in funding over 36 months to create a Creative Economy Co-op program that will help youth in Peel Region gain entrepreneurial skills through mentorship. I can't wait to see what your team comes up with!

No, this isn't another episode of House of Cards, it's another day under Premier Wynne and the Ontario Liberals. I think that Liberal Cabinet Ministers receiving money to do something that directly benefits a specific group of Bankers and Lawyers warrants an investigation by the Integrity Commissioner.
"Today I made an official complaint to Ontario's Integrity Commissioner. The laws are clear: you can't use an elected office for a personal benefit, but the Liberal quota scheme seems to be doing just that. It is clear to most people that the Premier, as the leader of the Liberal Party and head of cabinet, had to have approved of this quota system and may have been directly involved in the assignments. This quota system was the responsibility of the Premier." — Ontario NDP Deputy Leader Jagmeet Singh.
Liberal Cabinet fundraising may have broken the law: NDP

The amazing turnout of community leaders, activists and concerned citizens to our Town Hall on March 29th demonstrates the passion and commitment of the community to fight discriminatory practices like carding and street checks. I want to thank our amazing panelists San Grewal, Anthony Morgan, Knia Singh, Roger Love and Nicole Bonnie for providing such amazing content. It's clear that while the Liberal government's recently announced carding policy is an incremental step in the right direction it fails to adequately address the issues because of overly broad exemptions, a complete lack of guidance with respect to data already collected and the excessive delay in implementation. However the Town Hall showed us that the way forward will involve safe spaces and real discussions with the community in order to empower and engage those affected by this discriminatory practice. While we will continue to challenge the discriminatory practice of carding we must recognize that it is a symptom of the broader issue of systemic racism. Friends that is why we must continue the struggle together in order to truly create a just and equitable society.

(Warning: No table was harmed in the making of this video.) Things got a little heated at Queen's Park, thankfully my hand is no longer stinging, but I don't apologize for standing up for the people of Ontario who deserve better from this Liberal Government. The Liberals can call it what they want, stretch goals are broken promises, and the people of Ontario are just as upset as I am.
Jagmeet Blasts Premier on Broken Promises
I was honoured to support Brampton City Councillor Gurpreet Dhillon's motion to suspend Uber until a final decision can be made by City Hall to ensure consumer protection and fairness across the board. I want to congratulate Councillor Dhillon for the unanimous passing of his motion, as well as the members of the Taxi and Limousine community for their hard work and advocacy. The sharing economy is quickly becoming the way of the future but Governments' need to do their part to ensure it's a fair economy while maintaining public safety.
I almost feel embarrassed for the Liberal government, who seems to think Ontarians will believe their excuses. When asked why they broke their promise to reduce auto insurance rates by 15% within 2 years they tried to blame the opposition for obstructing. Only problem is Premier Wynne and the Liberals have been in power with a MAJORITY for over a year and a half! Like and share so we can let the Liberals know enough is enough.
MPP Singh Refuses to Stay Quiet on Auto-Insurance
"The Liberal government has created two different Ontarios.The first one is where most people live, where Ontario families pay the highest auto insurance rates in the country. Then there's the other Ontario, where the Premier's powerful lobbyist friends reside—like the insurance industry, which continues to enjoy historic profits." — NDP Deputy Leader Jagmeet Singh.
Wynne's 'two Ontarios' leaves families paying highest auto insurance rates while industry reaps...

Over the last several months, and with the help of some incredible community groups, activists and leaders, we worked hard to develop and pass a motion that directs the Ontario government to end the practice of carding. But much more needs to be done - Next Monday at the University of Toronto, I'll be speaking on this issue alongside some impressive student activists and leaders. Check out the details below and I'll see you there.

"...Transcripts, as Templeton wrote, are integral at all levels of justice and they "assist(s) an accused and the Crown alike in ensuring that their rights and responsibilities have been properly upheld and satisfied...." A number of Ontario consumers have advised CPBH over the years that their transcripts were missing when they appealed Tarion's decisions at Ontario's Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT). CPBH discussed this serious operational issue with SLASTO/LAT officials in Nov. 2015, and we are still awaiting a response about what they are doing to ensure that this doesn't happen again. CPBH has also brought this to the attention of Attorney General Meilleur, the two Critics (PC Critic Randy Hillier, NDP Critic Jagmeet Singh), the Auditor General of Ontario and the Ombudsman of Ontario. #accountability #transparency #AccessToJustice

Hey do you live in the Midlands? I'll be speaking at an event with Harinder Singh this evening in Leicester. Would love to see you there!
Black History Month deserves more than just a celebratory message from your elected representatives. Over the last several months, I've had an opportunity to work with some incredible black community groups, activists and leaders about policing and ways we can improve Ontario's criminal justice system. Together, we worked hard to develop and pass a motion that directs the Ontario government to end the practice of carding. Carding effects racialized minorities of all stripes, and I was recently reminded at an event celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of an inspiring quote – "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." This February as we celebrate Black History Month, I call on our political leaders to continue to stand for racialized minorities throughout the province and to legislate with the concepts of fairness and justice in mind, at all times. Note: This past weekend I had the remarkable privilege of listening to the Hon Dr. Jean Augustine, the first African Canadian women elected to Canadian Parliament, who introduced and passed the legislation proclaiming February as Black History Month in Canada.

Wynne calls it a 'stretch goal' - I call it a broken promise. Premier Wynne now claims the promise of a 15% reduction in auto-insurance premiums was always a 'stretch goal'. Let's be clear – this is nothing but a new label for another failed promise by the Ontario Liberals. When the NDP pressured the Liberal Government to agree to the 15% auto insurance reduction in 2013, the Liberals promised to make it happen in 2 years. In fact, the Ontario Liberals repeated this commitment during the election soon after! At any point do you remember the Premier saying it was a 'stretch goal' when she asked for your vote? How much have your auto insurance rates come down by?

How low can the Ontario Liberals go? Well, pretty low. Criminal charges have now been laid, and the lack of respect for the people of Ontario continues. Is this what you expect from your government?

The crushing response of polycarbonate circular cell honeycomb to inplane uniaxial loading under displacement control is analyzed through a combination of experiment and numerical simulation. The experiments, which correspond to two different uniaxial loading conditions, are performed using honeycomb material which has a nearly periodic microstructure. In the initial part of the response, the specimens deform in a uniform fashion. Next, a nonlinear phase characterized by progressive localization of deformation is observed. The progressive localization causes the walls of each cell to contact. These experimental results are simulated through numerical analysis using the finite element method. The reasons for the orthotropic response of the honeycombs are discussed.

Q: Two JavaScript timers vs one timer, for performance, is it worth dropping one? In a web app which I'm building, I have two loosely related bits of code running in two separate timers every one second.
I'm looking to optimize the Javascript, is it worth merging these two timers into one or is that just over the top?
Realistically, am I going to increase any performance (considering that we don't know what sort a system a visitor is running ) by merging two 1 second intervals into one 1 second interval?
As I understand it, JavaScript is single threaded so the more things happening, the more these stack up and block other things from happening (timers especially). I just don't know whether one measly timer running every second is an issue at all.
The reason for keeping the two timers separate would purely be code readability, which is fine on the server side where you control the hardware but I don't know what sort of browser or hardware my visitors will be running.
Thanks.

A: In terms of the overall number of operations that can be completed, no, there isn't going to be a measurable difference.  It is possible for there to be a perceived performance advantage in keeping multiple timers, however.  The more code you have running synchronously in a single timer iteration, the longer all DOM updates and certain types of user interactions are "halted".  By splitting these up into multiple timers, you allow other updates to take place in between timer iterations, and therefore the user gets a "smoother" experience.
Odds are in this case there won't even be a difference in perceived performance either, though, so I'd do it whichever way makes the code organization simpler.

A: If performance really is an issue you could just create 1 timer, and for example use that to call both functions:
function update()
{
  A(); //Do your first task
  B(); //Do the second

  setTimeout("update()", 1000);

}

update();

However, how sure are you that the bottleneck is within this timer? Try to measure first, and dont optimise the wrong parts of your application.

A: I would bet that you'd increase performance by eliminating clock handling at the JS level. You certainly won't degrade performance and, with just one timer running, I'd think that you'd enhance code maintainability, if not readability. In the app I'm working on right now, I have one timer running to handle three tasks: a special kind of scrolling, changing the background image of perhaps 300 cells, and checking to see if it's time to refresh the page and issuing an AJAX request if so. That timer is running with a 1/10-sec interval and things are tight, for sure, but the code gets through all of those jobs, once in a while with one clock tick coming on top of the previous.
So I doubt you'll have any trouble with a 1-sec interval and just one tick handler.

Thyroid is a small butterfly shaped organ that is located just below the Adam apple at the bottom of the neck. It is responsible to manufacture hormones that control the body's metabolism.
Excessive or less production of hormones by the thyroid gland can be refereed as Thyroid Disorder. There are four common types of thyroid disorders but in this video, I am sharing symptoms associated with thyroid problems specially in women. Around 12 million women ignored these symptoms associated with thyroid. So, I don't want my subscriber to be in the dark. Sharing is caring and that is what I am doing.

Frequently, parents tell us that they want their child to develop a life-long love of learning, self-confidence, and independence. An authentic Montessori education can help your child succeed not just in core academics, but in life as well.
Mixed-aged grouping, rather than grouping children solely by grade, allow for children to teach one another, be role models, leaders, and learn to observe. This mixed-aged group allows each child's strengths to contribute to the community. Children can watch each other to gain a foundation for a future challenge or to prepare for their own hands-on experiences. Older children benefit by being leaders to the younger students. They see themselves grow into the role models that they looked up to during their first years in the classroom.
Additionally, Montessori education is deliberately based on the developing brain of the child, rather than the age of the child. Our classrooms are divided into developmental "planes" (primary-aged, elementary-aged, and adolescent), rather than by date of birth. The materials used in the classrooms are designed specifically for the neurological and developmental stage for each mixed-age group.
Instead of presenting subject matter in isolated blocks of instruction, the a Montessori education provides an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to learning. This allows the student to realize the connections between subjects and the ripple-effect of learning a new skill, as it feeds into the next challenge.
A Montessori teacher, or directress, will present lessons to the child in the classroom, then step back to allow the child to work without intrusion. While Montessori classrooms stress self-regulation and self-direction, the directress is constantly observing, guiding, and modeling desired behaviors and activities.
Unlike a conventional education setting, wherein examinations, grades, and feedback from the instructor are the means by which students assess their worth, Montessori children are themselves the arbiter of their success. Montessori materials are specifically designed to allow for feedback, allowing a child to see their own errors and immediately try again. Children do not look for the instructor for enforcement or acceptance; they find it within themselves and the materials with which they work. The constant self-correction from the materials teaches the student that mistakes are part of the learning – and life – process, to be celebrated for the lesson learned.
In addition, because students are challenging themselves not for grades or accolades, students collaborate, rather than compete. Cooperation, problem-solving, and an understanding of different personalities is the end-result, rather than a reliance on outside feedback and competition.
One of the largest differences between a Montessori education and a conventional education is that in a Montessori school, students are allowed – encouraged – to learn at their own pace, independently, and through hands-on activities. The child sets the pace for his own work, allowing him to take the time needed for repetition and true learning.
Above all, an enormous weight is placed on independence, self-care, and working within the stage of the child's development. Dr. Montessori believed that this independence and ability to care for themselves allows the child to develop a sense of empowerment and self-worth, which leads to taking on additional challenges and skill mastery – all without waiting for the rest of the class.

There are a large number of different types and models of stackers of the manual forklift kind on the market.
Virtually every large business that handles stock in any way employs these machines. Their application ranges from ports and shipping, to warehousing, to logistics, to manufacturing, to scrap yards to farming as well as many other uses. Because of such a large span of application areas, it makes sense that these machines will be available in different designs and configuration.
Because a manual forklift is designed to be manually driven by human operators, it is of importance that such machines are designed to be safe to operate in their intended use, through sound design and manufacturing practices. Although machines may conform to such requirements, they remain industrial equipment that should be treated with respect of the fact that their use may hold some danger to the operator. It is estimated that more than 200 people are killed in the USA annually, operating a manual forklift. Proper training in the use of such equipment is therefore paramount in the use of these machines to ensure respect in the use of machines by their operators.
The mentioned number of deaths excludes the number of serious injuries sustained by operators, which totals in the tens of thousands per annum.
A manual forklift may be of a machine type that merely moves single laden pallets around a space and is pushed by the operator to the new location and dumped using either a hand device or a foot pedal to lower the fork to ground level before the machine is moved away. Other designs may include scissor action or hydraulic action lifts of varying heights to stack pallets with a weight of up to 3 tonnes. These lifting mechanisms of these machines vary between foot pedal and electric activation of a hydraulic system. It is said that a manual forklift and operator can do the work of six manual labourers, so these machines are effective in their function. The dependence on these machines and their operators by industry and commerce alike make them invaluable as business recourse.

When do I start talking about my book?
I don't want to give away too much about my book, but what do I talk about on social media?
What do I talk about to get people excited without giving away the plot?
Questions like that pop up for every author. It feels like a fine line to walk, but I want to clear that up for you today.
This is the time period before the two months leading up your book's release date. In this initial phase we focus on finding and connecting with our ideal reader. This includes very little promotion - it's establishing a solid and trusted connection with our audience.
Sign up for our free video lesson Answers for Authors: 5 Actionable Steps to Intentionally Grow Your Audience where you can learn more about The Mixtus Method, your ideal readers and how to find and connect with them online.
This is the two months right before your release date - maybe more. Because we created a trusting relationship with our audience during the attraction phase, we can add more promotions into our schedule to build excitement and activity around the release. And because we have put the work in to creating solid connections with our readers, they will be more likely to respond to your posts and take action.
This is the two weeks after your book releases and beyond. The life of our book doesn't begin and end during the release week. This phase includes additional promotions after the release and creating conversations well after the book launches that will continue to boost sales.
It's helpful to know these phases because we need to remind ourselves that book marketing and promotions are a marathon, not a sprint. When we pace ourselves and break things down into simple phases, we can get clearer and more effective with our social media and book marketing.
Over the next three weeks I'm going to get more detailed and share what is included in each phase and specifically how you can apply it to your own book launch.
In the comments below share with me which phase are you currently in. What questions do you have specifically for that phase that you are struggling with? I'd love to hear and answer your questions to make sure your book launch is a success!

Resources on Christian and Nuclear Weapons
David Cortright writes in his article in the May 2010 issue of Sojourners magazine, "As the nations of the world review the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in May at the United Nations, they gather at a time of unprecedented hope for genuine progress toward disarmament. The new receptivity to nuclear abolition is reflected in the 'New START' treaty between the United States and Russia, and was sparked by private initiatives led by former U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz and other senior security experts and officials in many countries." See this list of various Sojourners resources on a Christian response to nuclear weapons to learn more:
