Stolen Kennedy condolence note
A personal note written by Jackie Kennedy, widow of John F Kennedy, to Ethel Kennedy when her husband Robert Kennedy had recently been assassinated, has been seized by the FBI from Heritage Auction Galleries.
"You must be so tired," Jackie wrote. "I stayed up till 6.30 last night just thinking - and praying for you."
Max Kennedy, the son of Robert and Ethel, has said that they have never sold or given away the note, which has changed hands repeatedly, once for $25,000, since 2006 when it was first known to have left the family's possession. It is thought it may have been taken by a plumber.
An investigation is now being headed up by the FBI's Mark White, and the note will be returned to the family.
Kennedy memorabilia is naturally valuable (more so now that Ted Kennedy has died), and it's not surprising that such a personal piece, marking a historic tragedy would be worth a great deal, but it seems unlikely it will return to auction any time soon.

Box Office: 'Black Panther' Four-Peat Overcomes Disney's Wrinkly Debut
Matt Marshall March 12, 2018
'Black Panther' Breaks $550M Milestone, Surpassing 'The Dark Knight'
For a fourth consecutive weekend, Marvel's Black Panther continues to dominate the box office charts. The Wakandan superhero grossed an estimated $41.1 million, bringing its total to $562 million.
Enjoying another weekend on top, Black Panther became the first film since Star Wars: The Force Awakens to win four straight at the box office. Despite A Wrinkle in Time debuting, Black Panther claimed its best hold to date, down 38% from last weekend. Its fourth weekend only trails Avatar ($50.3 million) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($42.4 million). Those are only the two highest-grossing films of all-time. At its current rate, Black Panther will become the biggest superhero film domestically, but might only trail those two blockbusters. Black Panther will have to pass both Jurassic World ($652.3 million) and Titanic ($659.4 million). We'll see how it fares against Tomb Raider and Ready Player One in the coming weeks.
Not only has Disney claimed the top spot for four consecutive weekends with Black Panther, but it's a one-two punch this weekend. Ava DuVernay's live-action adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time claimed second place with $33.3 million. Disney has had plenty of luck with its live-action March and April releases in the past few years. Cinderella ($67.9 million), The Jungle Book ($103.3 million), Beauty and the Beast ($174.8 million) were all major hits. A Wrinkle in Time not so much, playing more like a John Carter ($30.2 millon), Tomorrowland ($33.0 million) or The Lone Ranger ($29.2 million). Mixed reviews didn't help as A Wrinkle in Time wound up with a 42% on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences were much more receptive, scoring the film a B on CinemaScore. $100 million may still be a possibility as Disney's March releases tend to show strong legs.
It's been about a decade since horror film, The Strangers hit theaters. Its sequel, Strangers: Prey by Night opened up to a third place start with $10.6 million. That's roughly about half of what the first film made in 2008. Reception hasn't been too great as critics scored the film a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences polled by CinemaScore graded the film a devastating C. Expect Strangers: Prey by Night to not last long in theaters. If its final run matches the original's $20 million opening, that may be a best-case scenario.
Dropping two spots, Jennifer Lawrence's Red Sparrow took the biggest hit of the weekend. Down 51.6%, Fox's stylized spy film grossed another $8.2 million. After 10 days in theaters, Red Sparrow is up to $31.1 million. While it held better than Charlize Theron's Atomic Blonde (-55.4%), winter dailies won't help a leggy run. Sparrow currently trails by $3 million and would wind up with about $40-45 million. That would be Lawrence's second-weakest run since wrapping up The Hunger Games.
Down one spot from last weekend, Warner Bros. comedy Game Night enjoyed the best holdover amongst top films. Minus Best Picture winner, The Shape of Water (+62.8%), Game Night boasted a weekend-best 24.1% dip in its third weekend. Lack of competition and word of mouth has certainly help garner the Rachel McAdams comedy another $7.9 million. Currently at a $45 million juncture, Game Night will have no problems soaring over $50 million. $55-58 million even seems probable at the moment. That would jump Spotlight ($45.1 million) and Southpaw ($52.4 million) as McAdams' second best film since 2013.

A winter jacket is a garment that lets in you to face up to the bloodless, wind, and snow or rain. It should comprise thick insulation in order that your frame stays warm although now not in movement. It has to also guard against wind and precipitation. It is those two points collectively that units "Winter Jackets" other than a number of the lighter weight insulated jackets that we examined in our Down Jacket and Insulated Jacket reviews. Those thinner insulated and much less protective portions are often a part of an included machine of layers, to provide the purchaser final discretion in warmth and perspiration control while used for the duration of iciness sports activities. Winter wear Singapore featured in this examines, however, are imagined to be used as an all-in-one overcoat, with few or no warm layers desired underneath.
A real wintry weather jacket desires to hold you and the insulation dry and want to have a waterproof/breathable outer shell. Besides being useful in cold surroundings, these jackets also have a tendency to have an extra prolonged cut and extra attention to how they'll appear on informal or extra formal occasions. In comparison to their lightweight contrary numbers used for cold weather sports activities, casual fashions regularly encompass many more abilities that add to their comfort, considering the fact that weight is not a number one attention. You can test out our Full Review to look how the eleven fashions that we tested in comparison to each different in our side-thru-facet assessment sorting out technique.
There are many different sorts in the marketplace, from elegant insulated trenches to technical "puffy" ones supposed for diverse iciness sports. We'll damage down the differing types below and provide you with some key issues to look for.
What makes a wintry climate jacket "technical" isn't always only a day-glow coloration that fits right in at Everest Base Camp. A technical garment commonly capabilities an additional athletic, trim in a form that lets in for extra athletic motion, and the associated functions are designed to support this identical athletic movement or pastime. Features that a technical model may additionally have that an informal one may not encompass indoors water bottle wallet, helmet-compatible hoods, trekking harness-properly suitable zippers or period, and more long-lasting substances placed in immoderate-put on areas.
The Neutrino Endurance nice exemplifies this class and become our favorite to bring about backcountry ski tours and mountain climbing missions. In the current-day overview of wintry climate jackets, we omitted the Neutrino, especially because of the truth its technical layout failed to wholesome. A model like this is properly examined in other classes. Can you wear a technical jacket in a casual setting? Sure! Most producers even offer these garments in more subdued shades, so that you do no longer have to appear like a tennis ball if you do not want to. Note, but, that these models generally consist of an excessive fee tag because you're paying extra for immoderate fill-power down, which might not make a distinction in average performance if it's best worn on city streets. We try to avoid reviewing jackets like this in this class.
Casual fashions have a propensity to cognizance tons less on weight and packable length and located hundreds more emphasis on warmth, weather safety, consolation, and style. Since the insulation is integrated and the jacket is usually a heavier weight, those are the sorts we're more likely to position on in the course of low-output sports like shoveling the driveway, going to the nearby out of doors ice skating rink, or commuting to artwork in the town. Our favorite informal jacket on this evaluation, manner to its trim healthy and easy outdoors. Buy winter jacket in Singapore additionally have their very own particular features. The winter wears clothes can embody internal phone pockets with headphone get entry to, fur (or faux) covered hoods, removable hoods, and longer/roomier suits. Asking the preceding question in the opposite, we don't advocate wearing an informal parka with a technical placing. While you can get with the aid of the usage of on the ski hill with an at ease version, since the motel is normally nearby, longer tours in the wintry climate need precise tools for protection and performance reasons. While an extremely-warmth casual model, much like the Canada Goose Expedition Parka, will preserve you toasty warmness (it is our Top Pick for Extreme Cold), it's miles hard to transport your fingers well because of its cumbersome design and is not the parka to bring about your subsequent ice climb.

Q: Management of TFS test plan regarding a new iteration In TFS Test Hub, I have a reference test plan in which some hundred of test cases are ordered and sorted in a hierarchy of folders:
- FrontOffice

 -- UserManagement

      --- TestCase 1234

      --- TestCase 5678

- BackOffice

  -- etc.

When a new iteration has to be tested, I have two choices:
1- Add existing test cases in a new Test Plan, which is good, but make me lose the folder Hierarchy
2- Clone the reference test plan, which preserves the folders, but makes clones of the test cases
In this last case, the link with the requirement is second order:
Requirement --TestedBy -> ReferenceTestCase --Cloned-> ThisIterationTestCase
Option #1 is good for reporting, but tedious for execution

Option #2 is good for execution, but makes it impossible to query test results bounded to a requirement

Do you guys have any advice regarding this situation?

A: For your requirement, you can create test suites programmatically through REST API or client API (the structure can be defined in a JSON or xml file):

DRUNK DRIVER MUZZO, WHO KILLED 3 CHILDREN AND GRANDFATHER, DENIED PAROLE
Day and full parole denied to Marco Muzzo, the convicted drunk driver responsible for killing three young children and their grandfather three years ago.
(Canadian Press/Nathan Denette)
The Parole Board decision, following a hearing which was attended by the children's mother, Jennifer Neville-Lake, who presented pictures of each of her family members killed in the crash in September 2015.
"There's no win. It's not a victory because it doesn't change a single thing for me," said an emotional Neville-Lake, who also does not believe Muzzo has fully accepted what he did.
He vowed he would never drink again, that his remorse feels like a life sentence he's put on himself.
"I should have known better but I took a chance," said the 32-year-old Muzzo wiping away tears.
He has six months to appeal the decision and will be eligible to reapply in one year.
Muzzo was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2016.


This July/August, Armored Saint will embark on a North American tour, commemorating their classic Symbol Of Salvation album! On this special run, the band will perform Symbol Of Salvation in its entirety, with select shows to be recorded for a live DVD.
Front-man John Bush comments: "'Symbol Of Salvation'! Arguably Armored Saint's most important record. These songs came out of us being dropped from Chrysalis Records and finding out about guitarist Dave Prichard developing Leukemia. The songs took on a much more emotional meaning than any other previous record. We wrote songs of desperation like 'Another Day 'and 'Last Train Home'. Experimental tunes like 'Tainted Past' and 'The Truth Always Hurts'. Classic Saint rockers like 'Reign of Fire', 'Dropping Like Flies' and the title track.
After Dave passed, the band regrouped with Phil and Jeff returning as the guitar tandem. It was a family again. Dave Jerden produced the record and this marked the beginning of Joey becoming the producer of the band.
Labelmates Act Of Defiance will join Armored Saint on this trek. See below for all dates!
To further celebrate the legacy of this album, Metal Blade Records will re-issue Symbol Of Salvation on CD and LP on May 18th. The LP will feature a vinyl remastering from Patrick W. Engel as part of the "Metal Blade Originals" series. Special treatment and 400g heavy cardboard spine sleeves (inside out print), 60x60cm two-sided artwork posters and 250g inserts guaranteed! The CD will include 4 bonus tracks. See below for an overview of all versions and track-listings.

After being dropped by Chrysalis Records in 1988, Armored Saint began writing for a new record and searched for a new label. During 1989, founding guitarist, songwriter Dave Prichard was diagnosed with Leukemia. In January 1990, Dave went into the hospital for a bone marrow transplant but succumbed to the treatment, passing away on Feb 28th, 1990. By this time, the band was writing as a 4-piece, with Dave being the sole guitarist; they had written 25 songs and demoed all of them.
Metal Blade Records CEO/founder Brian Slagel approached Armored Saint and offered a recording deal in late Spring of 1990. They regrouped with original guitarist Phil Sandoval and Jeff Duncan, who was hired as a touring guitarist during a 1989 tour with King Diamond. Recording of this new album – which would become Symbol Of Salvation – began in winter of 1990 with producer Dave Jerdan (Alice in Chains, Janes Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers), and it was engineered by Brain Carlstrom (Alice in Chains, The Offspring, Rob Zombie). During recording, the band used a guitar solo from a demo track played by Dave, and included it on the song "Tainted Past".
Armored Saint went on to tour with the likes of The Scorpions, Suicidal Tendencies, Wrathchild America, Sepultura, and more, in support of Symbol Of Salvation. Now, in 2018, the band is bringing back these classic tracks to the live setting, for fans to enjoy once again, in honor of Dave's memory.
Armored Saint plot first ever South American tour!
Armored Saint will be heading down to South America for the first time ever! The shows are scheduled for June and include performances in Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Chile, and Colombia. The band is currently at work on a set list full of songs from throughout their entire catalog – it's an event not to miss for South American fans!

Despite an interestingly obscure background with Horslips, an Irish folk-rock outfit with a cult following, Kieron "Spud" Murphy is most famous for his series of photographs of John Lennon. He also contributed photos to other major rock events, such as Electric Warrior by T. Rex, considered the birth of glam rock. But it was the fact that Lennon took a liking to Murphy, later inviting him to a private audition of the entire as yet unreleased Imagine album, that resulted in an especially rich, unhurried portfolio of Lennon portraits.
Murphy's dual interests in photography and music seem to have been an important part of his early professional career. By the late '60s he was employed by a Dublin advertising agency; fellow workers Charles O'Connor and Jim Lockhart were musicians as well, as interested in adding new bands to the world as they were in bandying about new ads. One of these combos would evolve into Horslips, although by the time things started moving for the group Murphy had decided to grab a job with Sounds, a now defunct competitor of the pop music magazine Melody Maker.
In the spring of 1971 he was sent out to cover a new recording Lennon was making on his own at the home he shared with Yoko Ono in Tittenhurst Park, London. The photographer's initial impressions of Lennon nipping into his breakfast at 5 p.m. were a combination of awe and relaxed acceptance of the rock icon as a mortal who ate food after all. Murphy wound up staying through the day, shooting a pile of film rolls, some of which were never developed due to deadline pressures. In the '90s Murphy, no longer a professional photographer, returned to these rolls to develop never before seen images that have become part of Lennon retrospective releases as well as an exhibit and print edition in their own right. This photographer should not be confused with other potato-nicknamed performers, including trombonist Claude "Spud" Murphy.

A few decades ago, the plight of farm workers was at the forefront of the nation's attention. Through the decades we read "The Grapes of Wrath" and then later watched "The Harvest of Shame." In the 60's and 70's people boycotted, marched, and/or fasted in support of workers.
This past year, we were reminded, if only for brief moments, that the plight of farm workers is still very much a serious concern. United Farm Workers' founder, the late Cesar Chavez, was honored for his leadership and vision by the U.S. Postal Service with a new commemorative stamp. And in the spring, we all watched in horror as nearly one hundred immigrant farm workers were found inside a locked tractor-trailer in the sweltering heat.
Beyond these occasional headlines, the hardships that farm workers and their families continue to suffer are rarely on the evening news but still have a claim on our conscience.
The Bishops and Farm Workers
Our Conference has long stood by farmers and farm workers in their struggles to live with dignity and make a decent living for their families as they provide affordable and plentiful food for us and our families. Beginning in the late sixties, the U.S. bishops decried their low wages, untreated health problems, inadequate education and housing, and lack of year-round employment. The late Msgr. George Higgins, who wrote this Labor Day statement for so many years, was a pre-eminent leader and champion in this cause. He condemned the fact that most farm workers were not covered by national labor laws, including the minimum wage and unemployment insurance. The fact is, these labor protections are still sorely lacking for farm workers. Such seemingly modest safeguards, which most other workers enjoy already, would offer steps towards a better life.
Later this year, our Bishops' Conference will consider a significant document on farmers, farm workers, and the agricultural sector. This reflection will raise some new issues–increasing concentration and globalization, trade, and genetically modified foods. But on this Labor Day we should focus on an old test for our nation and Church: How do we treat those who harvest and prepare our food? Sadly, they are the "least of these" (Matt. 25) in our own time.
Farm Workers Today
Today these workers are increasingly moving from the fields to the factories: working in meat and poultry processing plants, and large hog and cattle operations. They settle in rural areas and too often find themselves linguistically and culturally isolated and vulnerable to exploitation and discrimination because of their legal status and language barriers. More than 50 percent of farm workers in the U.S. are undocumented and more than 80 percent are foreign-born.
But their vulnerability does not begin in this country. They are also preyed upon in their desperate effort to reach the United States. In May, when police discovered the aforementioned truck crammed with immigrants—nineteen of the 100 men, women, and children were dead, including a five year old child. The U.S. Border Patrol reports that last year 371 people died crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Mexican officials believe the number is higher. Yet, thousands still take the risk, still come to find work and a better life for themselves and their families. We recognize that, as an alternative to widespread undocumented migration, a just and fair legal pathway must be established that protects the basic labor rights of foreign-born workers and recognizes the reality of so many of these workers in the field. In addition, farm workers already present and working in the U.S. should have an opportunity to earn permanent legal residency.
When farm workers do come, they too often find meager jobs, decrepit housing, and unsafe conditions. Some end up living under bridges or even in caves. Those who do find housing in labor camps sometimes live without decent sanitation, despite state and federal health laws. Violations of wage and hour laws are commonplace. Their children often must join them in the fields because without their help, the family may not survive. They can face death and injuries on the job from dangerous farm equipment and the threat of poisoning from the pesticides used to protect the crops.
Some farmers treat their workers well and we should commend and acknowledge their efforts on this Labor Day. But too many do not, often relying on labor contractors, some of whom essentially traffic in human labor and suffering for economic profit. Many of us seem content to avert our eyes or ignore the reality that so many who provide our food live in such misery.
More Action is Needed
We call upon our nation to develop policies that reflect a fundamental respect for the dignity and rights of agricultural workers. At a minimum, we must ensure that agricultural workers earn a decent wage for themselves and their families and live in conditions that are safe and humane. Comprehensive immigration reform which features legalization is needed to ensure that undocumented migrant farm workers obtain legal status and can assert their basic labor rights.
Our Catholic teaching tells us that the economy, including the agricultural sector, must serve people and not the other way around. Work is more than a way to make a living, and farming is one pre-eminent example of our participation in God's creation. Catholic teaching on the dignity of work calls us to engage in productive work and supports the right to decent and fair wages, health care, and time off. Workers, including agricultural workers, have a right to organize to protect these rights and to have a voice in the workplace.
In California, after years of organizing efforts, the United Farm Workers union (UFW) recently signed a contract with the nation's largest direct employer of strawberry workers, many of whom are recent immigrants. The hard-won contract should improve the wages, benefits, working conditions, and job protection for some 800 workers near Watsonville, California. We applaud the efforts of the workers, growers, and the UFW for negotiating these changes.
However, even when workers are organized, their employers might refuse to negotiate a contract with the new union. Nationally, 32 percent of workers still have no contract two years after the initial election. Because of weak and ineffective labor laws, organizing workers is difficult in the best of situations but especially farm workers who have fewer labor protections. One bright spot was the recent California legislation that requires mandatory arbitration so that workers who do organize can get a contract.
This Labor Day, as we reflect on work and workers in this land, let us renew our commitment to stand in solidarity with farm workers and other agricultural workers in defending their life and dignity and helping them to secure decent wages, safe working conditions, and better labor protections. Let us stand with the men and women in Immokalee, Florida, who pick tomatoes, the poultry workers in Maryland and Delaware, the fruit and vegetable pickers in California, and the meat packers in the Midwest. The plight of agricultural workers may not be on the evening news or in the headlines, but it should be at the heart of our thoughts, reflections, and priorities as we celebrate Labor Day this year.

Local MSP Welcomes RNID Campaign
Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson today welcomed the "Breaking the Sound Barrier" public campaign launched by the Royal National Institute for the Deaf.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of undiagnosed hearing difficulties, through the use of a telephone hearing test. After taking the test, people will be advised of the standard of their hearing, and what steps to take. To take the RNID hearing test, call 0845 600 5555.
"I am pleased that the RNID have launched the "Breaking the Sound Barrier" campaign, as it highlights a major issue that is often neglected. Without good hearing, people can quickly become isolated from those around them.
"I was surprised to learn that one in four people over the age of 50 – some 420,000 people in Scotland – suffer from some degree of hearing loss. Many of these people would benefit from a hearing aid.
"It's common for people to put up with deteriorating hearing, or not to notice as their hearing changes over time. Some people don't even realise they could be helped.
"I'm happy to support the "Breaking the Sound Barrier Campaign, and would like to encourage anyone in the North-east to take the test as a first step towards better hearing.
"I would also like to encourage the Scottish Executive to put increased funding support into NHS Audiology services to help improve people's hearing. Constituency cases have proven that there are major problems within this area of the NHS."

Executive Fails On Prescription Charges - Stevenson
Speaking following the vote in the Scottish Parliament in which the proposal to abolish prescription charges was defeated, Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson said that the Executive had failed to seize a golden opportunity to abolish an unfair tax on sickness.
"I am very disappointed that the Executive failed to take this opportunity to follow the lead made by their Labour colleagues in the Welsh Assembly and vote to abolish prescription charges.
"Far from being a move to aid the rich, as Labour was desperately trying to argue, it would have removed the disgraceful anomaly of there being some chronic diseases for which prescription charges are not applicable and other where they are.
"In my discussions on this issue with patient groups in the North-east, exemption for those suffering from a chronic disease was a point which was raised again and again and which I made to Ministers. I am pleased therefore that the Executive has said it will review this area, but this has only come about as a result of pressure from the SNP.
"Abolition would have removed a significant financial pressure from people on low incomes who do not currently qualify for free prescriptions.
"In order to find out the effects of abolition, all Ministers had to do was get in touch with their opposite numbers in Wales, who could have given them any detail they desired.
"I cannot help but feel that for the want of a little bravery, the Executive has missed an opportunity to remove an outdated and unfair tax on the sick purely because of which party proposed it and which other parties gave it their support. They have done those people for whom prescription charges are an ever-present burden a great disservice."
Stevenson Backs Parliamentary Action Concerning Drink-Driving Limit
Banff & Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson has backed his colleague Stewart Maxwell MSP's Parliamentary Motion on the issue of the drink-driving limit.
"It is very worrying and disappointing that an average of one in six deaths on Scottish roads is caused by drink-driving and that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of under-21s convicted of drink-driving. An increase of 38% between 1996 and 2002..
"I have to say that I am deeply concerned by the fact that the current drink-driving limit of 80mg per 100ml of blood is amongst the highest in Western Europe and that the average drink-driving limit in Europe is 40 to 50mg. I am therefore very supportive of any measures that will lead to a reduction in the number of people who choose to drink and drive and I include increased enforcement and greater education and awareness campaigns as the measures I offer my support to.
"The Scottish Executive should lend its backing to calls for a change in the law on this issue.
SNP's Stevenson to Meet Georgian Justice Minister
The SNP's Shadow Deputy Justice Minister, Stewart Stevenson MSP will be visiting the Republic of Georgia to host a workshop on Civic Nationalism with local politicians in Marneuli and to meet Members of the Georgian Parliament in Tbilisi.
Stewart plans to meet leaders of a number of Georgia's parliamentary parties and will discuss the local elections which will take place on 5th October with members of the Georgian Parliament's Committee of Local Self-Governance.
He previously visited this area in March and met young political activists and aspiring local councillors.
Speaking ahead of a meeting with the Georgian Minister of Justice, Gia Qavtaradze, Stewart Stevenson said:
"Since Georgia regained its independence in 1991, it has faced many challenges. In particular the widespread protests that led to the resignation of then President Eduard Shevardnadze in 2003, created instability with which today's government has had to grapple.
"Mr Qavtaradze has difficulties within the country's prisons and in law enforcement generally. I am looking forward to an interesting exchange of views.
"We shall also, of course, be looking forward to next year's football matches between our two countries. And as a token of friendship I shall be presenting a Scotland football strip to the Minister."
The Westminster Foundation for Democracy, which is funding this visit, provides money to parliamentary parties represented in the UK Parliament. The SNP has chosen to focus its efforts on Malawi and the Caucuses, building on the work of SNP MP Angus Robertson in bringing people together in Scotland to reduce regional tensions and build capacity in local democratic organisations.

Promoting education and empowerment through water in Namibia
Published: 10 November 2011 16:00 CET
Children at Otjivero Combined School in Kunene can now wash their hands after using the toilet. IFRC
Children pumping water from Namibia Red Cross elephant pump in Kunene. IFRC
Livestock also drink water from the water points in Kunene. IFRC
Young girls can now attend school instead of walking long distances to fetch water in Kunene. IFRC
By Rosemary Nalisa and Tapiwa Gomo in Namibia
Tucked away in the semi-arid mountains of Kunene region, northern Namibia, is the Himba tribe, an ethnic nomadic and pastoral group. Their movement from one place to another is largely influenced by the availability of water for family use, but also equally important for their livestock.
In addition to public health concerns due to lack of water, providing education to children is a huge challenge as communities constantly relocate leaving schools unoccupied.
With financial support from the Swedish and Belgian-Flanders Red Cross societies, the Namibia Red Cross has begun a massive water and sanitation programme under the campaign, 'Water is Life'.
"The Namibia Red Cross has over the years, managed to construct 300 water pumps and 50 wells, and has rehabilitated 25 springs giving the community access to safe drinking water," says Mrs Kakarandua Mutambo, the Kunene regional manager for Namibia Red Cross. "We are also ensuring the protection of springs and water pumps in selected areas and communities."
In an area where the responsibility for looking after the family, and carrying water lies with the women, this project has come at the right time.
Matjituavi Tjiposa, one of the women trained to repair hand pumps, says the community was grateful for the new boreholes. "Now we can drink clean and safe water, free of contamination. We just come with buckets and cans to fetch water from the pump, unlike in the past when we walked long distances to fetch water from the springs and still had to boil it," she says.
Matjituavi also commended the Red Cross for empowering the community through its sanitation promotion programme. Communities are taught basic hygiene such as washing their hands regularly after using the toilet or before eating, sleeping under mosquito nets to protect against Malaria and keeping their environment clean.
"The project has eased the burden for many women. Apart from getting water closer, some of the diseases that used to trouble us have reduced. We can now settle in one place and send out children to school," she says.
In the absence of reliable water sources, most children drop out of school to herd cattle. Some help their parents to dig deep wells along river banks to make sure that their cattle have water. Livestock constitutes their main form of wealth, meat and milk.
Kumauii Tjikotoke, a teacher at the Otjivero Combined School, welcomed the water project, especially drilling of boreholes at the school. She says that having a borehole has contributed to better attendance of classes than ever before. "In the past the children had to walk long distances to fetch water and would miss class in the process. Some also faced numerous health problems such as diarrhoea and skin diseases, which have since reduced as a result of the availability of water," she says.
Mrs Mutambo, the Namibia Red Cross regional manager in Kunene, takes pride in knowing that their work has transformed the lives of the Himba people in many ways. "When the project started, I never thought that this water and sanitation project would have so much impact on the lives of many people in the area as there was a lot of resistance. But now I am pleased to see that its impact has extended to the promotion of education and improvement of learning environment for children. While there is still more work to be done to cater for other areas, the cooperation by the communities is just amazing."

The XLC V-Brake brake lever set BL-V01 is optimised for use with Rapidfire shift levers. The BL-V01 levers and the tension adjustment screw are made of high-quality aluminium. Due to the sporty 2-finger levers, the target group of the BL-V01 is most likely MTBs and cross bikes. But these brake levers are also suitable for youth bikes because the grip distance of the brake lever to the handlebar can be adjusted for short fingers with a grub screw.
2-finger lever: 2-finger levers are brake levers whose lever length was manufactured for use with 2 fingers. 2-finger levers are often used for very sporty mountain bikes.
V-brake: A V-brake brake is a bicycle rim brake that is mounted on a special adapter base on the bicycle frame or fork and actuated by a side-guided pull. Some of the brake levers are especially suitable for mounting in combination with V-brakes.
Top product. Is easily exchangeable by means of the pins. Braking power is like new again. The colors also look nice. I immediately bought 2 sets, then I can move forward. What I did not find so clear was whether they were compatible with the old BBB tristop brakes that I had (Also because the brakes and pads have different numbers: 14 and 15), but these are just the product numbers and just appear to fit together .
Top product. Is door middel van de pinnetjes zeer gemakkelijk verwisselbaar. Remkracht is weer als nieuw. De kleurtjes zien er ook wel leuk uit. Ik heb gelijk 2 sets gekocht, dan kan ik vooruit. Wat ik zelf niet zo duidelijk vond was of deze compatibel waren met de oude BBB tristop brakes die ik had (Ook omdat de remmen en pads andere nummers hebben: 14 en 15), maar dit zijn gewoon de productnummers en blijken gewoon bij elkaar te passen.


Pass-through income will continue to be taxed at individual income tax rates. Part of the reason you're hearing about a potential tax break is because many small business owners may be eligible to deduct 20% of their pass-through income from their taxes, however.
This deduction brings a great deal of complexity, since—as you might have guessed—that deduction is subject to several limitations, restrictions, and rules of its own!
#1: Restrictions based on your income.
The 20% deduction has limits based on a business owner's taxable income. This threshold would be $157,500 for individual taxpayers and $315,000 for married taxpayers who file jointly.
In general, if your taxable income is below that threshold, the deductible amount for your business is 20% of your qualified business income (or QBI). There are other limitations related to this, too complex to describe here, so get in touch with us to learn more.
#2: Restrictions based on whether you are a specified service trade or business.
If you're in the service industry, and the success of the business is reliant on you, you are typically going to be classified as a "specified service trade or business." When your business is categorized this way, there are further restrictions on the 20% deduction, in particular if you are over the business income threshold. This category excludes engineering and architecture services, which is to their benefit.
These are two restrictions of many—simplified here to give you a preview of the kind of factors that affect who will be eligible and not eligible for this new 20% deduction.
Just like itemized deductions, this new business deduction is a below-the-line deduction; Both of these lower your taxable income as a small business owner, but not your AGI.
The good news is that as a small business owner you can claim the 20% QBI deduction in addition to the larger of the standard deduction or itemized deduction.
These changes to the business tax scheme are comprehensive and they can be complicated. Because of all the variations that exist, we will want to take a look at your business on an individual basis so we can determine what's best for you and your organization.
If you have questions, or if you'd like to make an appointment to learn about your 2018 tax changes, call us at (513) 576-1989 . We're looking forward to hearing from you.

The NFL is the Ultimate Billionaire's Club
The Seattle Seahawks owner Paul Allen is by far the richest in the league. The Microsoft (MSFT, Tech30) co-founder is worth about $17 billion, according to various estimates.
Allen helped Bill Gates start Microsoft when both were students at Harvard, and left the company with a chunk of its then privately-held stock in 1983 which translated in to the bulk of his wealth. Allen also made about $2 billion from the appreciation in value of the Seahawks and the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers, both of which he bought decades ago.
By contrast, Patriots owner Robert Kraft made most of his $4 billion fortune in football. He bought his team for a reported $172 million in 1994, and today it's worth an estimated $2.6 billion.
There's only one NFL team with owners that aren't worth billions. The Green Bay Packers is actually publicly owned by its fans, who hold a special issue of stock in the team that cannot be sold or traded.

On the Politics of Strangeness in Mithila-Seven
By Atreyee Majumder
I wonder about Gautam Bhatia's book The Wall, the first in the series of The Chronicles of Sumer, as I look at the sliver of sky available from my Calcutta apartment window. If this sliver of viewing nothing up above and onto the farthest point in the line of vision were blocked, my life would not be affected in any material way. And yet, it would make irrelevant a useless word – horizon. A yearning to imagine a horizon where there is none. Many have lauded Gautam Bhatia's tremendous debut as a parable of revolution, fight against injustice, but I wish to excavate from The Wall a political subjectivity pivoted on appreciation of strangeness. Politics in the late modern world is layered heavily with the subjects of rights claimed against various quarters of the state. These rights – whether civil or political, economic or social, are claimed to assure the material well-being of the citizen-subjects. But Mithila-Seven, nineteen years of age, of the Maloran family, daughter of Ananta, the sculptor, attacks the Shoortan sovereignty of the Sumer city-state at the intersection of material being and imaginative vitality. She does not want the sovereign to do anything to restore her or her group's wellness. She simply wants to destroy The Wall and recuperate the power to extend one's imagination through viewing of the farthest point, the power to look out of the stagnant peace of one's own inside. Her politics is predicated upon the yearning for an outside. Mithila-Seven emerges as an innocent terrorist with the yearning for a world without The Wall, an emotion that is called smara in Sumer vocabulary.
The city-state of Sumer lives amidst an elaborately articulated, and hence, presumably precarious, peace. The rahi grain is cultivated to satisfy the hunger of the citizenry. The grey river Rasa flows around the circular city-state and lends water through its tributaries. There are festivals and public gatherings of ceremony. There are rights of free speech and a government that practices some elements of democracy. The leaders – the Shoortans and the Elders – talk of law and order and stability and contentment. And yet, there are hints of a violent past. The Savarian Revolution is no longer legally spoken of, and is obliterated from the recorded Encyclopaedia of the Sumer city-state. The colour blue marks status here, and no one without high status can sport the colour blue. This explains the romantic song sung often by Mithila-Seven, and sometimes for her companion Rama – "blue/I dream you/blue." Mithila-Seven fearlessly courts trouble. Her team – the Young Tarafians – comprising Rama, Lamon, Alvar and others – are looked upon as troublemakers. Their protest is of a strange kind, one that the contemporary world of politics and protest does not really mirror. It is the trouble of the imagination. It is not the trouble of unfulfilled interests. In the real world of proliferating struggles that stem from material poverty and related interests, Bhatia weaves, in all authenticity, a strange world.
Bhatia constructs a terrorist through the hue of innocence. Mithila-Seven takes on the powerful Shoortans and Elders solely with the simplicity of her argument, the sheer conviction of an earnest mind. I don't want to turn to a sociology of Sumer here, and comment that it seems like a gender-just society where women speak their minds openly, and occupy high status, though that would be a relevant comment. It would do injustice to Bhatia's craft. Bhatia takes great care to yield us a world whose categories are not akin to ours. I must honour that endeavour in my discussion. The question of gender justice seems irrelevant to the city-state society of Sumer. It is indeed our question, and we are so inured in it that we cannot imagine a society for whom this is not a primary receptable of politics. There are many straightforward, easy allegories that can be drawn between our contemporary late modern, postcolonial world and that of Sumer. Yes, we in India are governed by a sovereign who is trying very hard to sell cultural chauvinism and insularity over open-mindedness and imaginative vitality, very much like Sumer. Yes, we in India today are told to hate outsiders or persons who bear the marker of difference, much like the Shoortans are trying to get the citizens of Sumer to believe. But I must take care to parse apart the categories of power and narrative through which the Sumer society unfolds through the centrality of Mithila-Seven, in close loyalty to Bhatia's craftsmanship.
Organic Intellectual
Bhatia is showing history – written history, encyclopaedias and the like – to have become the preserve of the elites. There seems to be a kind of oligarchical, influence-driven rule of the elites in Sumer. There is a paper-quota and the use of paper is restricted among commoners. There is a rationing of writing, and history is oralized. The assurance of writing is yearned for and in such yearning, the troublemakers, the Young Tarafians, are inaugurating to my mind, a kind of class-struggle. They want to appropriate the social capital of the elites – the very social capital which enables them to have influence over the sovereign. I wish to deploy Antonio Gramsci's term "organic intellectual" (Gramsci (1926) 2011) to excavate the political consciousness of Mithila-Seven. Never does Mithila-Seven argue domination through categories of social position, unlike activists of our world. She seems ambivalent to, or at most, tangentially concerned about her low position as a sculptor's daughter in the Sumer world. She rises from the ranks and speaks an open, confident mind. She becomes the source of inspiration and support for her companions among the Young Tarafians, and comes to be known as the main trouble-maker. She speaks with conviction attacking the imagination of the powerful, attacking the source of sacrality in Sumer society, and speaking simply about the power to imagine a horizon. She considers her argument enough ammunition to start and sustain this massive struggle. She does not try to convince other commoners in the city-state, many of whom, like her sister Minakshi, believe life is good as it is, there is no need to attack the dominant status quo. It is the simplicity of Mithila-Seven's politics that carves her out as one of the most magnificent dissenting characters in the history of literature.
The story of Sumer reminds of me Tagore's dance-drama Tasher Desh (Nation of Cards) and the innocent fight against an unjust sovereign there. Freedom is the strange deliverable in both texts. Freedom, the unshackling of the mind from social discipline, one that Tagore vociferously defended in his political writings, and the word that has in recent times, been brutally desecrated by the American Imperial State. I see in Mithila-Seven a politics of strangeness, an orientation towards the strange, the unfamiliar. A powerful strange-sociability – a quality that is looked upon with suspicion in most societies, especially those invested in ethnonationalistic narratives about their own exceptionalism.
Time/Utopia
Utopia dominates many of Tagore's works – I am thinking especially of the encounter between Buddha and a female servant in play Pujarini, and the novel Rajarshi in which the king is morally persuaded to give up animal sacrifice by a young girl. I see Gautam Bhatia as joining the legacy of Tagore in imagining an open, curious, imaginative, supple-minded society that will accept difference and strangeness with warmth and hospitality. This imagination of an open, supple, curious mind that is in search of answers from diverse sources, is lost in the dogma of modernity. Bhatia excavates simplicity and innocence in the power to dream – the stuff of utopia.
The other element of Bhatia's work is that it takes away from the reader the comfort of time. Bhatia talks of the circular time that is imposed by the Shoortans in which the Sumer citizen-subjects are incarcerated. Smara emerges in the ultimate analysis is a word not just for longing, but a word for memory of a time before The Wall – Smara, an enemy of time (Bhatia 291). Smara is a criminalized sentiment in Sumer. Its banning ensures that citizen-subjects are not able to marshal time to make a political argument.
I take this poetic formulation spoken in a Sumer song and propose that time – linear or circular – is a carceral category that binds thought/memory to logical sequence and a disciplinary arrangement. Utopia, to my mind, is the enemy of time. It is a horizon of liberation that frees the subject from the shackles of sequentiality. I argue that Bhatia has created a methodological tool of signalling towards utopia by telling a strange story out of time.
In The Wall, Bhatia has inaugurated a fantastic city-state that makes itself known in a circular arrangement, navigated by river Rasa, and rahi fields, and a massive wall cutting off the sky from line of vision. The story is repeatedly illuminated by lamp-light and the fading light of sun setting over the Wall. The play of darkness and light takes a predominant shape of storytelling in The Wall. I would have liked to hear more on the ancillary characters. I would have been keen to hear more of Ananta's backstory and about the Blue Revolution. In a final analysis, I haven't quite read a book like The Wall, and I have never quite met a person like Mithila-Seven. So, this book is quite special. I expect Bhatia's authorship will register in South Asian publishing as a major milestone.

The first people who inhabited the land of future Bulgarians lived as early as the Stone Age, and the first known works of art date from the end of V- IV millennium B.C. and represent variegated and exquisitely decorated ceramics, idol plastic arts, clay temple models, skilfully made flint tools. The rock drawings in the Magura cave and the rich necropolis near Varna on the Black Sea stand out among the finds. The excavations revealed graves with more than 300 objects of pure gold – the oldest processed gold in Europe.
The Thracian treasures have long since provoked admiration all round the world and have been exhibited in many countries. The Vulchitrun gold treasure is the oldest among them. The Panagyurishte gold treasure made of pure gold dates also from that period. The Rogozen gold treasure is the biggest; it was found in northwest Bulgaria and consists of 165 gold-plated silver vessels from the second half of 5th century and the first half of 4th century B.C. Two other treasures – found near Vratsa and near Borovo – also date from the beginning of 4th century B.C.
One of the remarkable sites of old Bulgaria is Perperikon – a multi-storey palace and sanctuary in the eastern part of Rhodope Mountain, located at 15 km to the north-east of today's town of Kardzhali. The palace has an area of over 10,000 sq.m and more than 50 separate premises – halls, rooms, underground mausoleums with tombs, corridors, indoor staircases. A unique example of Bulgarian monumental plastic arts is the Madara Rider in northeast Bulgaria – the only one in Europe dating from that period (8th – 9th century).
In 893 the capital of Bulgaria moved to Veliki Preslav, which was built in such a manner as to compete with the capital of the great Roman Empire – Constantinople. Veliki Preslav impressed with its numerous monasteries and domains of high aristocrats, all built of stone, marble and decorated with mosaics.
The period of the reign of Tsar Simeon was called Golden Age of Bulgarian Culture. Monumental sculpture, painting and crafts developed along with architecture. The first Bulgarian writers appeared – Ioan Exarch, Constantine of Preslav, Chernorizets Hrabar, Kliment of Ohrid and Naum.
During the Second Bulgarian Kingdom Bulgarian arts blossomed. The mural paintings of Boyana Church (1259), the frescoes in the rock-hewn churches of Ivanovo and numerous icon paintings are masterpieces. The towns of Koprivshtitsa and Plovdiv are real wonders of the architecture of the Bulgarian national revival.
The centre of the new capital was architecturally remarkable with the palace of the tsar, the National Assembly building, the National Theatre building, Alexandr Nevski Memorial Church. The imposing National Palace of Culture was built in the 70-ies of 20th century.
Bulgarian art of the beginning of 20th century is characterised by variety in genre and style. Outstanding are the portraits painted by N.Mihailov and Ts. Todorov, the landscapes of A. Mihov and A. Mutafov, the aquarelles of Konstantin Shtarkelov, the drawings of Ilia Beshkov, A. Bojinov and Boris Angelushev. National motifs are expressed in the works of the painters Ivan Markvichka, Tsanko Lavrenov, Zlatyu Boyadjiev, Vladimir Dimitrov the Master, and many others. The paintings of Iliya Petrov and Dechko Uzunov are distinguished for their exquisiteness.
A group of artists from Plovdiv stood out in the field of pictorial and plastic arts in the 60-ies: Dimitar Kirov, Georgi Bojilov, Yoan Leviev, Hristo Stefanov and Encho Pironkov. Modern artistic trends develop in the work of the painters A. Yaranov, Dimitar Kazakov, I. Kirkov, Svetlin Rusev and others; the black-and-white artists R. Skorchev, P. Chuklev, S. Stoilov, S. Stoyanov and others; the sculptors L. Dalchev, V. Minekov, V. Starchev, G. Chapkanov and others.

Cook: working for Jobs is very "free".
Early on August 24, Beijing Time, Sina Technologies News, Apple CEO Tim Cook is very clear about one thing: Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is a great person worth working for.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Cook said, "work for Jobs is" free ". He described a time when he found his former boss and offered him a "very grand" idea. If Jobs thought it was a good idea, he would tell them, "OK," and let Cook do it himself.
"A company can run in such a way that refreshes my perception. Because I've been used to bureaucracy, like the company that's near paralysis, but Apple is different, completely different. Cook said.
Cook made the remarks when he ushered in the eve of Apple CEO 7th anniversary. When Jobs was seriously ill in 2011, Cook began to take over the company and maintain the company's sustainable development.
Jobs died in 2011 after suffering from cancer for many years. He has always been very clear about how to manage the company. Some people have said that he is sometimes a strict boss. But Cook, including many former or current employees of apple, thinks Jobs is inspiring.

Hi! My current mobile phone is iPhone 6 and I'm planning to upgrade to iPhone 6S. Would you know if there is a big difference between the 2? Or shall I wait for iPhone 7 instead? What do you think?
I would wait; not too much of a difference. I have a 6+ and have no intention of upgrading anytime soon.
In my opinion, I'm contented with my iPhone 6 that was visually appealing iphone to date for me, I think, the metal design is sleek and simplified. Although, Others claimed that iPhone 6s was built with stronger material than the latter. But If you want to understand better, take time to read this: iPhone 6S vs iPhone 6 . I hope that would help you decide better.

Dowanhill is an affluent area in the West End of Glasgow, Scotland.

An upper middle-class residential district, the area generally contains a mixture of terraced townhouses with private communal gardens, detached villas with private grounds and a number of four-storey tenement buildings. Originally constructed from the middle of the 19th century onwards a few of the buildings have now had their original interiors reconstructed to convert them into multiple dwelling houses, this type of redevelopment continues to the present day.

Dowanhill's postcode district, G12, is the most expensive in Glasgow, beating the average property price of second place, G3, by more than £100,000 as of 2022.

In common with many areas of the West End, continual development causes concern for many residents who fear the area becoming overdeveloped; this concern was highlighted in the bitter dispute over the proposed redevelopment of Dowanhill Tennis Club.

In 2005–2006 due to increased traffic levels and to discourage rat running Glasgow City Council introduced traffic calming measures and converted a number of streets into one-way traffic systems.

In 1869 Jefferson Davis, the only president of the Confederate States of America, stayed in Dowanhill while visiting the Glasgow merchant James Smith.

The earliest known registered scout troop in the world, the 1st Glasgow Scout Troop, is still active in Dowanhill. Captain 'Boss' Young established the troop in 1907 and the group was registered with Scout HQ, London on 16 January 1908.

35 Saltoun Street, the building depicted in the 1993 painting Windows in the West, is located in Dowanhill.
