A charity is urgently appealing for new volunteers to help isolated older people living alone in Belfast.
The Belfast group currently meets on the last Sunday of every month and the charity needs more volunteers to collect and accompany the older guests to their event and to host the gatherings in their own home.
Contact the Elderly would love to hear from anyone who can help out. Drivers will need to have a valid driving licence and their own car and would need to be available one Sunday a month. Hosts generally host an event once or twice a year.
Emma McPhilbin, Head of Special Projects at Contact the Elderly, said: "This is our first Northern Irish group with four older guests currently attending regularly but we need volunteer drivers in the Belfast area to bring more older guests to the tea parties. For older people who live alone, Sundays can be particularly long and difficult.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for Contact the Elderly, or if you know someone aged 75 and over who is living alone in the Belfast area who could benefit from coming along to a tea party, get in touch with the charity by calling 0800 716 543 (freephone) or apply here.

League Urges U.S. Senators to Support Honest Ads Act
LWVUS sent a letter to U.S. Senate offices encouraging Senators to cosponsor and pass S. 1989 the Honest Ads Act. Members of the LWVUS Lobby Corps will also be visiting offices on this topic.
To: Members of the U.S. Senate
From: Chris Carson, President
Re: Cosponsor and Pass S. 1989, the Honest Ads Act
Every American has the right to know who is paying for online political ads, whether it is organizations with ties to foreign governments or wealthy special interests at home. We must work to prevent meddling in our elections, and to ensure that Americans know the source of political messages. The League of Women Voters urges you to cosponsor S. 1989, the Honest Ads Act, if you have not already done so, and to publicly urge passage of this important piece of legislation.
The most important thing we can do to preserve the integrity of our electoral process is to increase transparency. Every American has the right to know who is paying for political ads but the current transparency rules are decades behind the times. Communications methods such as telegrams and typewriters are mentioned while the internet—where 65% of Americans say they received information from during the 2016 Presidential election—is not. It is time to update the outdated transparency rules around electronic communications. Online advertisements have a huge influence on information voters are exposed to and Americans have the right to know who is funding such advertisements.
The Honest Ads Act is bipartisan legislation that addresses the need for new rules that expose efforts aimed at influencing U.S. elections. The Act updates the definition of "electioneering communications" to include paid internet and digital advertisements. This will ensure that digital ads referring to federal candidates in the lead up to elections are subject to the same campaign finance disclosure requirements monitored by the Federal Election Commission as any other ad.
The Act also requires digital platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, to maintain a public file of "qualified political advertisements" and the details around the purchase, payment and targeting of such ads online. Finally, the Act acknowledges that voters have a right know about foreign sponsors and funders of campaign-related ads by requiring broadcasters, providers and online platforms to make reasonable efforts to ensure that qualified political advertisements are not directly or indirectly purchased by a foreign national.
The League of Women Voters strongly urges you recognize the importance of Congressional action on this legislation. This is a manner of utmost importance to our national security, to the integrity of our elections and to protecting our democracy from sabotage by foreign adversaries.

I had expected these to be semi-rigid, and molded but they are just thick, very slick plastic.

Hero taxi driver helps KZN mom give birth in minibus, clinic probed for alleged misconduct
By Orrin Singh - 09 January 2020
Nhlonipho Zulu, a 31-year-old taxi driver from Richards Bay in northern KZN, helped an eight-month pregnant woman give birth in his taxi near Nongoma on Wednesday night.
A KwaZulu-Natal taxi driver has been hailed as a "hero" after he helped a woman give birth in his taxi on Wednesday.
According to the provincial health department, the 31-year-old taxi driver, Nhlonipho Zulu, was about to finish his shift when an eight-month pregnant passenger told him she suspected she was about to go into labour.
Zulu was travelling between Nongoma and Hlabisa at the time and had to drop off two other passengers before rushing the pregnant mother, in her early 20s, to the nearest clinic.
However, upon examining her, nurses allegedly disputed that she was about to go into labour.
They stand accused of not only being dismissive and using rude language, but also refusing to call an ambulance, instead telling the taxi driver to take the pregnant woman to Benedictine Hospital about 30km away. The KZN health department is aware of the allegations and has ordered an investigation.
Zulu recalled how the hysterical mother begged him to stop the taxi and help her give birth.
"I was trying to ignore her pleas, and instead get her to hospital. But she let out a loud cry and said, 'My baby is coming out ... my baby is coming out ... I can feel the head…' She was literally begging me to stop and help her."
Zulu said he stopped the taxi, and switched on the internal lights near the sliding door.
"I made her lie on the seat, and indeed I could see the baby's head coming out. She asked me if I had a knife or pair of scissors so I could cut her, so that the baby could come out, because she kept on pushing, yet it wouldn't."
However, she kept pushing until the baby eventually emerged.
"I caught the baby and placed it on the seat. I asked her to sit still and ensure that the baby did not fall."
Zulu drove for another kilometre, until he saw a few local homesteads, where he sought help.
"Fortunately, there were some elders who were able to cut the umbilical cord. By the time I took her to hospital, the baby was wrapped up in a blanket."
The department said both mother and baby are in a stable condition at Benedictine Hospital.
Health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu has ordered an investigation into the allegations of rude and improper conduct by nurses at Buxedene Clinic, who allegedly turned the pregnant mother away.
" I am extremely concerned by this turn of events," she said. "Clearly, something has gone horribly wrong when a person in such a delicate life-and-death situation is subjected to this kind of treatment.
"Frontline health-care workers must always remember that they have a responsibility to save lives.
"I have instructed the head of department, Dr Sandile Tshabalala, to provide an urgent report that must address the alleged misconduct in this case, and indicate what consequence management measures will be applied."
She lauded Zulu's efforts.
"What Mr Zulu did is nothing short of heroic. He could have just left her at the clinic and continued minding his own business.
"But instead, he forgot about all his commitments and stayed the course until the very end.
"And, anything could have happened while he was rushing her to hospital, even a possible loss of life.
"We are also thankful to the family that responded to his further efforts for help, after he had helped deliver the baby," said Simelane-Zulu.

UK PM May: Brexit could be lost if exit deal voted down
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May speaks in Parliament in London
LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May said that Brexit could be lost if lawmakers reject the exit deal she has negotiated with the European Union at a vote in parliament later on Tuesday.
"The danger for those of us who want to deliver, to have faith in the British public and deliver on their vote for Brexit, is that if this vote is not passed tonight, if this deal is not passed, then Brexit could be lost," May told parliament.

Royals Timeline: 1980s
Kansas City Beats New York
After coming up just shy in 1976, 1977 and 1978, the Royals finally toppled the New York Yankees to to capture the 1980 American League Pennant. Kansas City closed out the Yankees with a three game sweep highlighted by George Brett's Game 3 home run off reliever Goose Gossage.
1980 'Crowning Episode'
The 1980 season was one the most memorable in Kansas City baseball history. The Royals took first place in May and never looked back en route to a fourth American League West title in five seasons. Awaiting them for a fourth American League Championship Series battle were the New York Yankees.
After Three agonizing ALCS losses to New York, Kansas City relished the opportunity for another shot at the Yankees. This time the series lasted just three games. The Royals captured the first two at home, and then traveled to Yankee Stadium for Game 3, where ALCS MVP Frank White's fifth-inning home run got Kansas City started. The Yankees rallied to lead 2-1 entering the seventh inning, when George Brett blasted a Goose Gossage fastball into the upper deck for a three-run home run and a 4-2 lead. Dan Quisenberry thwarted an eighth-inning rally and closed the door on New York to complete the sweet. The Royals were American League Champions.
In Kansas City's first World Series, the Royals faced the Philadelphia Phillies. Despite holding leads in the first two games on the road, the Royals came home down two games to none. Kansas City tied it with two wins at Royals Stadium, which included Willie Aikens' second two-home run performance of the series in Game 4. But the Phillies staged a heartbreaking ninth-inning rally in Game 5, then returned home to take a decisive Game 6 in Philadelphia.
Though they did not win it all, the 1980 Royals finally delivered an American League Pennant to Kansas City.
The Best Around George Brett
The 1980 American League Batting Title race was no contest as MVP George Brett hit .390 besting Milwaukee's Cecil Cooper by 38 points. Brett captured the attention of the entire baseball world throughout the summer in his quest for the .400 mark last accomplished by Ted Williams in 1941 (.406). Brett missed the mark by just five hits, but won his second batting title in one of the best single season performances in baseball history.
Powder Blue All-Star Brigade
Kansas City was well represented at the 1982 All-Star Game in Montreal leading the American League with five players: George Brett (starter), Dan Quisenberry, Frank White, Willie Wilson, and Hal McRae. They were joined by Manager Dick Howser (serving as a coach) and trainer Mickey Cobb for a Royals' magnificent seven.
AL Batting Champion - Willie Wilson
Willie Wilson (.332) edged Robin Yount (.331) to become the first switch hitter since Mickey Mantle in 1956 to win an American League batting title. Known for his blazing speed, Wilson also led the league with 85 steals in 1979 and posted an amazing 13 career inside-the-park home runs. In 1980, he became the first major league player to record 700+ at-bats in a single season (705) and was only the second to have 100 hits from each side of the plate.
Sticky Situation - The Pine Tar Game
The Royals take part in one of the most 'infamous' games in baseball history. George Brett's 9th inning home run off Goose Gossage seemed to have given the Royals a late lead. But the umpires call Brett out for having pine tar too far up the barrel of the bat. American League President Lee MacPhail later reverses the ruling and reinstates the home run.
Quiz Sets Record
Royals reliever Dan Quisenberry had already become the first pitcher in major league history to post 40 or more saves in two consecutive seasons earlier in 1983. He upped the ante even more with his 45th save that year, which set a then major league record for the most ever recorded in a single season.
AL West Title
The Royals returned to the American League Championship Series as the surprise winners of their fifth AL West title with an 84-78 record. Manager Dick Howser led a group of familiar veterans and a corps of young pitchers, including Bret Saberhagen, against the juggernaut Detroit Tigers. The tough loss set the stage for a bigger triumph to come.
Kansas City Wins World Series
In an All-Missouri 'Show-Me' State battle the Royals take on the St. Louis Cardinals for baseball's biggest prize in what would become known as the I-70 Series. After losing the first two games at home and later trailing the series three games to one, the Royals rallied for three straight wins to capture Kansas City's first World Series Championship.
Leo's Comeback
Dennis Leonard was one of baseball's most dominate pitchers winning 20 games three times between 1977-80. However, his most memorable moment may have been his first start three years after a devastating knee injury suffered on May 28, 1983. The complete game three-hit shutout (1-0) against Toronto at Royals Stadium in front of a national television audience was an emotional highlight in club history.
Gold Glove Frank
Frank White was already one of the greatest players in Royals history by 1987 when he won his 8th Gold Glove for defensive excellence. He was the first American League second baseman to win the award eight times. Frank's defensive skills made him one of the best second baseman to ever play the game.
1986-90 'The Bo Show'
As a child his family likened his rambunctious nature to a wild boar. The comparison inspired the nickname that put him on a first-name basis with the country - Bo.
The Bo Jackson story started and ended with football, but his 'legend' began when he signed with the Kansas City Royals. One of the greatest running backs in college football history, the 1985 Heisman Trophy winner and the #1 pick in the 1986 NFL Draft spurned the gridiron to play baseball. It was a stunning move, but would it work? The answer was a resounding yes.
The Royals took a chance on a great athlete and Kansas City came away with perhaps the most amazing highlight-reel player baseball was known. Perhaps the biggest stage in Bo's baseball career was the 1989 All-Star Game in Anaheim. Manager Tony La Russa put him in the leadoff spot and he didn't disappoint starting the bottom of the first with a monumental home run. He later added a single and stolen base and was named Most Valuable Player.
Unfortunately, a hip injury during a 1990 NFL playoff game with the Los Angeles Raiders effectively ended his amazing two-sport career. The injury gave the Bo Jackson story a Greek myth-like quality with his amazing athletic feats often overshadowed by questions of what might have been.
Second Cy for Sabes
Four years after capturing his first Cy Young Award, Bret Saberhagen was even more dominant in 1989. He led the American League in wins (23), ERA (2.16), innings pitched (262.1), and all of baseball with 12 complete games. Saberhagen was rewarded with his second Cy Young, joining an elite club as only the ninth pitcher to win the honor more than once.
Bo Knows MVP
Bo Jackson hit lead-off for the 1989 American League All-Star team in Anaheim, CA and launched a long home run in the bottom of the first against Rick Reuschel of the Giants. Bo went on to collect another hit, a second RBI and stolen base in the 5-3 American League victory and was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

News of the captivity of Mullah Baradar and the death of Haibatullah Akhunzada in Afghanistan: report
Even though the Taliban has managed to capture Afghanistan and form a government, an internal rift has begun to emerge between its faction. The Taliban government is heavily influenced by the Haqqani network, which is a puppet of Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI. Mulla Baradar is taken hostage in Kandahar, while Haibatullah Akhundzada is dead. This information has been received according to media reports.
David Lyon, writing for the weekly British magazine The Spectator, said that Taliban co-founder Mullah Baradar had hoped to run the government, but was instead given the role of deputy PM. He wanted more roles for Afghanistan's many ethnic minorities in government and has also argued that the green, red and black Afghan national flag should still be flown alongside the Taliban's white flag. Lion said anger flared up at a meeting held at the Presidential Palace in Kabul recently. A fight broke out between Baradar and Khalil Haqqani. Some sources said that there had been firing, although this has not been confirmed.
According to some sources, the gunshots heard in Kabul earlier this month were actually a power struggle between co-founders Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and Anas Haqqani, two senior Taliban leaders. The incident took place over alleged disagreements between Taliban leaders on how to resolve the Panjshir situation. The information about the reported firing was shared through the unverified Twitter handle of Panjshir Observer, which describes itself as an independent news outlet covering Afghanistan and Panjshir.
After the battle Baradar disappeared from Kabul for a few days. It then re-emerged in Kandahar, where the group's supreme leader Haibatullah Akhundzada has a base. Some believe that Baradar has been taken hostage by the Haqqani network. During this time, there was vigorous public dissent played out among Taliban factions, Lion said. The whereabouts of Taliban leader Haibatullah Akhunzada is still unknown. He hasn't been seen or heard from in some time. There are rumors that he is dead.
Lion said that this vacuum at the top of the Taliban has allowed such debates between its factions that the struggle for power in the Taliban is not the last time. The words that came out of the mouth of Mullah Omar, the top Taliban leader, were known as the law, even though he never came to Kabul. Mullah Hassan Akhund, the head of the government formed earlier this month, does not hold real power. There is no one to rein in the Haqqani network, which carries too many messages in its public statements.
It has been more than a month since the Taliban captured Kabul after an aggressive and swift advance against the Afghan government forces following the withdrawal of US forces. The country plunged into crisis last month after Kabul fell into the hands of the Taliban and the democratically elected government of former President Ashraf Ghani.
Lion said it was difficult to predict how Pakistan would manage the new power in Afghanistan. Earlier this month, Pakistan's intelligence chief Lt Gen Faiz Hameed arrived in Kabul, leading a delegation of officers. Hameed's emergency visit confirms that the Taliban are mere puppets of the ISI. Pakistan and its notorious intelligence agency ISI have been accused of supporting the Taliban in the capture of Afghanistan.
Experts believe that Pakistan has been a major player in toppling the elected Afghan government and establishing the Taliban as a decisive force in Afghanistan. A recent UN surveillance report said a significant portion of al Qaeda's leadership lives in the Afghanistan and Pakistan border region.
Amrullah Saleh, the former Vice President of Afghanistan, has insisted that the Taliban are being subtly managed by Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI. It also said that Islamabad as a colonial power is effectively in charge of the war-torn country.
In the interim government of Taliban in Afghanistan, new ministers, deputy ministers were increased, economic team expanded
The Taliban on Tuesday announced the names of several more ministers and deputy ministers in its interim government in Afghanistan. But despite worldwide pressure, no woman has been included in this expansion of the Taliban government. The Taliban has expanded after presenting a preliminary blueprint for its government earlier this month by announcing the names of top leaders in the top positions. It is noteworthy that the international community has said that it will look into the words and actions of the Taliban and will consider recognition of the new Afghan government after considering the treatment of women and minorities. The Taliban, in its first term, had completely banned women and girls in the country from studying, writing, working or moving in society.
Taliban expands economic team
The Taliban government of Afghanistan has strengthened the economic team. For this, a commerce minister and two deputy have been appointed. The group will seek to revive a financial system with a sudden halt to billions of dollars in foreign aid. On Tuesday, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said at a news conference that Nooruddin Azizi, a businessman from Panjshir province, north of Kabul, has been named as the acting minister of commerce and industry. They will start work immediately. Ajizi is joined by the caretaker finance minister and the economic affairs minister in a team facing a difficult task. Both were announced earlier.
women may be included at a later time
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, while giving information about the cabinet expansion, said that women could be included in the government at a later time. However, he did not specify any specific time for this. The spokesman said that rules are being prepared for Afghan girls to read, write and work according to the Shariat. But no time limit has been given for when these rules will be ready. Mujahid said minorities, such as the Hazra community, have been taken care of in this cabinet expansion. Deputy ministers have been hired for technical proficiency.
Commenting on the international community's hesitation to recognize the government, the Mujahid said there was no reason to put the work on hold. It is the responsibility of the United Nations and other countries to recognize our government. Along with this, Asian, European and Islamic countries have a responsibility to establish diplomatic relations with us. The Taliban currently need international help to run their government. The condition of this country is dire after four decades of long struggle. The previous government, running with American support, was dependent on international aid. Afghanistan's economy was in dire straits before the Taliban took power last month. Now the situation is getting worse in the new regime.
Poverty has suddenly started increasing. The Taliban does not consider this situation to be very worrying. The spokesman says that most of the funding given to the previous corrupt government was used in the 20-year war against the Taliban. The spokesman said that we can run our business without foreign help. We have enough resources. According to what we have seen and understood so far, Afghanistan is not an economically unsuccessful country. We have enough revenue. If we control and store it properly then we will solve all our immediate problems. But it is not yet clear how revenue will be raised from the country, which is projecting 97 percent of the population of the United Nations to reach below the poverty line by the end of the year. The Taliban have named their cabinet as the interim government, but have not yet made it clear whether elections will be held in the country anytime soon.

Michigan's Radical, Lesbian AG Vows Refusal to Enforce Pro-Life Law
'I hate to even put it that way, but is that enough of a chance of dying that that person would qualify under Michigan's ban for a lifesaving abortion? ... '
By Molly Bruns
Dana Nessel / PHOTO: AP
(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has proclaimed that she will not be enforcing a Michigan anti-abortion law that would come into effect if Roe v. Wade was overturned.
Nessel, referring to a 1931 Michigan law, said she refuses "to enforce this draconian law that will endanger their lives and put to jeopardy the health, safety and welfare of the lives of each and every woman in the state of Michigan," according to Red Voice Media.
The law criminalizes abortions, with the exception of those that are "necessary to presere the life of such woman."
Michigan Penal Code 750.14 reads, "Any person who shall willfully administer to any pregnant woman any medicine, drug, substance or thing whatever, or shall employ any instrument or other means whatever, with intent thereby to procure the miscarriage of any such woman, unless the same shall have been necessary to preserve the life of such woman, shall be guilty of a felony, and in case the death of such pregnant woman be thereby produced, the offense shall be deemed manslaughter."
Democrats are confused by the plain language of the law, insisting that they do not know what constitutes a woman's "health" or "safety."
University of Michigan professor and OB-GYN Dr. Lisa Harris is one such Democrat.
One example she offered was an instance where a pregnant woman suffers from heart disease, in which case the woman has a 20-30% chance of dying while pregnant.
"Is that enough of a chance?" Harris asked.
"I hate to even put it that way, but is that enough of a chance of dying that that person would qualify under Michigan's ban for a lifesaving abortion? Or would their risk of dying need to be 50% or 100%?" she said.
Nessel has gone on the record saying abortion should not be restricted by any legislation.
"Politicians do not belong in our doctor's offices, they don't belong in our bedrooms and should not be making these kinds of decisions on behalf of the American public and behalf of women across America," she said.
Nessel is hoping that the Michigan Supreme Court will determine that abortion is a fundamental right under the state constitution, whether or not Roe is overturned.

Today, ahead of the seventh World Alzheimer's Month in September, Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) is highlighting the growing severity of global dementia crisis. Every three seconds someone around the world develops dementia. As the number of people living with dementia is predicted to rise to 152 million by 2050, ADI is urgently calling on Governments worldwide to develop more effective plans to address one of the key global public health concerns of the 21st Century.
As part of its work to highlight the need for a better global response to the dementia epidemic, ADI has worked with ITN Productions to create the 'Every 3 Seconds' documentary, presented by National News Correspondent, Duncan Golestani, to raise awareness of around the impact of dementia.
The feature length documentary focuses on the factors that are shaping the global approach to dementia: innovation in dementia research and care and exploring how technology can play a part in treating the disease.
The film was created in association with a range of leading academic, research and care organisations from around the world, to chart the human, social and economic impact of dementia globally and work towards reducing stigma around the condition.
Dementia is one of the most significant global health and social crises in the 21st century and there is currently no cure for the 50 million people living with dementia worldwide. Although dementia can start to develop in the brain as much as 20 years before onset, diagnosis is frequently made too late to offer the most effective care. This is often due to lack of awareness, to stigma and the absence of strategic health and care planning.
The World Health Authority has acknowledged the seriousness of this global health epidemic and adopted the Global action plan on the public health response to dementia 2017-2025 in May 2017. Despite this progress is slow and only two new national dementia plans have been adopted in the last year.
Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI) is calling on world governments and individuals to support initiatives for greater informed awareness of this disease. Awareness reduces stigma and helps people to plan and live better with dementia.

ADI is the international federation of 94 Alzheimer associations around the world, in official relations with the World Health Organization. ADI's vision is prevention, care and inclusion today, and cure tomorrow.
ADI believes that the key to winning the fight against dementia lies in a unique combination of global solutions and local knowledge. As such, it works locally, by empowering Alzheimer associations to promote and offer care and support for people with dementia and their care partners, while working globally to focus attention on dementia and campaign for policy change from governments. For more information, please visit www.alz.co.uk.
The primary objective of World Alzheimer's Month is to reach out to as many countries as possible, showing the global impact of dementia and promoting dementia awareness and what we can do to help support those living with the disease.


A federal judge has upheld most of New York's new gun control law, rejecting arguments that its bans on large-capacity magazines and the sale of some semi-automatic rifles violate Second Amendment rights.
Judge William Skretny in Buffalo says those provisions are constitutional because they're related to achieving an "important governmental interest" in public safety. He says those two features make guns more lethal.
Tellingly, the "legal 10-round magazine" Skretny finds acceptable is also utterly arbitrary, and far below the standard capacity of many handguns (where 13-17 rounds is common) and rifles (where 20-30 rounds are often standard). This betrays the utter capriciousness of New York's gun laws.
Skretny also fails to explain how outlawing firearms that make up less than 4% of all gun crimes constitute an "important government interest," unless he is conceding the point that the very guns that the New York government is trying to outlaw are those most useful in the hands of citizens opposing tyranny.
Expect this to be appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

More about Best Time to Travel to Ranthambore
Ranthambore in Winter (October-March)
Perhaps the perfect time to take a trip to the Ranthambore National Park, the months between October and March experience pleasant weather, complete with clusters of flowers that adorn the landscape beautifully. If you are planning your trip sometime between late December and early January, however, be prepared with warm woollen clothes to keep you cosy during the cold weather. The temperatures range between 10 degree Celsius and 27 degree Celsius. Apart from the tiger safaris, make sure to head out to the Ranthambore Fort, Malik Talao, and Kachida Valley, all of which lay within the reserve itself, the latter being home to numerous migratory birds as well as panthers. Ganesh Trinetra Temple, Lakarda and Anantpura, Wild Dragon Adventure Park, Dastkar Ranthambore, and Rajiv Gandhi Regional Museum of Natural History are some of the other places that you should add to your itinerary.
Ranthambore in Monsoon (July-September)
The Ranthambore National Park remains closed during the monsoon months of July to September. Hence, these months are a no-no to visit the area during the rainy season.
Ranthambore in Summer (April-June)
Since Ranthambore is nestled in Rajasthan, the summer months, starting from April to June, receive unbearable dry heat as the direct rays of the sun hit the area. However, if you think you shall remain unperturbed by the extreme temperatures, which may even go up to 36 degree Celsius, then it is the best time to visit this reserve since it is during these months that you are most likely to luck out and spot the majestic tigers, along with several other animals. Make sure to keep a scarf with you, apply huge dollops of sunscreen, and stay hydrated all the time. To avoid the direct rays of the sun, try to wear full-sleeved cotton clothes. You may also sit and relax by the enrapturing Surwal Lake, visit the grand Jogi Mahal nestled near the Padam Lake, or take a trip to Raj Bagh Talao, with the Raj Bagh Ruins in its backdrop.

collaboration, a photo by mbp on Flickr.
A couple of weeks ago, APQC hosted a very interesting and insightful twitter conversation in which I took part, on the topic of Collaboration.
Q1: How do good organizations define collaboration?
A1 The term is often used in undefined manner. lack of clarity can cause frustration with managers who view collaboration as "clutter"
It's one of those terms which nobody can argue against, but which nobody has really defined. The boundaries between collaboration, cooperation, alignment and teamwork are very fuzzy. Is working on a virtual team collaboration? Some would say so, some would not. Is putting your work products online for others to find, collaboration? Some would say so, some would not. If you are approach to drive collaboration in your organisation, one of the first things you need to do is define the scope. The definition in the second of the answers above is one of the ones I like best - the nature of "working across borders" separates collaboration from teamwork.
Q2: What do your executives want collaboration to accomplish?
A2 1,000 heads are certainly better than one, but you have to define - "better at what"?
Q3: When do people most likely want to collaborate?
I see three cases where people want to collaborate. The first is if they are assigned to a collaborative team, and given the role, the time and the challenge of working together with others to create something. The second is where they get direct benefit, for example when they can draw on the knowledge of others to help them solve a problem or plan an activity. The third is where they gain indirect benefit through helping others. By helping others to solve their problem or plan their activity, they gain profile and reputation, and "make a deposit in the favour bank".
However, just as collaboration is not an end in itself, and some collaboration hinders rather than helps, not everyone needs to be collaborative all the time. There is a reason we work in silos - silos help get teh work done. They provide focus and structure. Part of the trick of becoming an effective collaborative organisation is knowing when to collaborate and when not.
Q4: How can SharePoint be a positive or negative for collaboration?
SharePoint is ubiquitous nowadays, and came with the promise of being collaborative software. Again, it all depends on what you mean by collaboration, and provided you are dealing with Information, document control and multi-authored documents, SharePoint is fine. If you want to go beyond that level of collaboration, then certainly in the past SharePoint has been very limited. Organisations have turned SharePoint 2007 into an effective collaboration tool after massive amounts of customisation, but out-of-the-box functionality has been very disappointing, when you compare it to purpose built collaborative tools such as Confluence and Jive.
I would say that overall the ubiquitous presence of SharePoint has been negative to collaboration. It reminds me of the first few visits I made to Azerbaijan, when every car on the street was a soviet Lada. Certainly you can drive a Lada, but as driving experiences go, you would be far better off in a Range Rover or a Mercedes.
This may all change with SharePoint 2013. I don't know it well enough yet to comment fully, but certainly the wiki functionality, at least, seems far better.
Q5: How important are tools like Wikis, CMS, and Repositories to good collaboration?
A5 the best collaboration comes through conversation, not through documents.
It is the Behaviours that make for good collaboration. The tools can help.
Collaboration requires more than a single tool, and more than a toolkit as well. Like all forms of behaviour, collaboration needs a collaborative framework, of which tools play a part.
Q6: What snuffs out collaboration?
A6 Lack of time is only a symptom of wrong priorities. if it were a priority, we would find the time.
I have talked many times on this blog about the damaging effects of internal competition. There are of course many cultural issues that can snuff our competition - we recognise 10 dimensions to a learning culture, which gives us 10 ways to kill collaboration for a start - but the two others I mentioned are important. I have been working with a company recently which has set up some excellent collaborative structures, but staff hit a brick wall when trying to implement what they have created. In this company, and in many others, collaboration is therefore seen as something "extracurricular".
The "lack of time" argument is often quoted as one of the top cultural barriers. But in fact, it's not a question of time, it's a question of priority. Capturing and sharing and resusing knowledge needs to be seen as part of the job, not an add-on, and just as much a priority as many other management aspects of the way we work.
Q7: What are key collaborative skills organizations can develop in employees?

A small group of Brahmas will attend prestigious schools in and out of state.
Grace Lee, Opinion Editor|May 23, 2019
Among those going to renowned schools, include top row from left, Hamzah Daud, Alice Wang, Amy Miyahara, Samantha Hong, Andrew Chang and Austin Hyun; bottom row from left, Devany Du, Karyn Real, Christine Zhou and Darren Chiu.
Among the high-achieving crowd of purple and gold, a handful of Brahmas will venture away from Diamond Bar to pursue a degree at some of the nation's top colleges.
A few Brahmas have found a new home at Ivy League schools: Andrew Chang to Columbia (and Julliard), Darren Chiu to Princeton, Samantha Hong and Christine Zhou to Brown, Austin Hyun to Dartmouth and Arron Ku to Yale.
Also choosing high-profile private schools were Karyn Real and Devany Du, who will attend MIT, and Hamzah Daud, Alice Wang and Amy Miyahara, all headed north to Stanford.
Heading off to Providence, Rhode Island, Zhou has yet to decide on a major to pursue at Brown, though her original goal was medical school. Zhou's top choice was Brown because of the school's close proximity to the Rhode Island School of Design, which gives her the opportunity to pursue her interest in art.
"They have a really strong art program, so I'm hoping to go to Brown and have a challenging enough education, while also taking art courses at RISD," Zhou said.
At Diamond Bar High School, Zhou was involved in numerous activities including robotics, badminton and marching band. She served as the president of Red Cross, Planet Arboretum and Alzheimer's Association clubs on campus. Aside from these, she also entered science and art competitions, like the annual U.S. Congressional Art Competition in which she won first place and Fan Favorite.
While other students must choose one college to spend four years at, Chang will travel to New York City to participate in a dual degree program for a bachelor's degree at Columbia University and a master of music at the Juilliard School. Like Zhou, he is uncertain of which subject to major in, but Chang said that he is planning on taking the pre-medical route.
"I'd be able to continue playing music at a conservatory and study at Columbia so it works out," Chang said.
Chang, who has seven years of experience playing the clarinet, spent most of his time in high school participating in music-related activities, including the Colburn Youth Orchestra, the DBHS orchestra and band and a competition hosted by the National YoungArts Foundation.
"I was pretty excited [when I got my acceptance] because I knew I wanted to study something and music as well, so that was kind of the perfect program for me," Chang said. "I don't really have an established goal, [but] I'm just going to see and experience things and see what I want to do, kind of find what I want to do later."
Meanwhile, Daud is planning on majoring in political science at Stanford. He was drawn to Stanford due to its strong political science department and computer science program.
"I think the future of education is bipartite: it's the Constitution and computer science. So I think a mixture of both of those at my future college would be optimal," Daud said.
Daud was involved in many activities on campus, including TEDx Diamond Bar as the lead curator, Mock Trial as a pretrial attorney and witness and Debate Club and We the People Club as president. He also helped organize the District of Choice rally in 2016 and the national school walk out for DBHS last year. Daud said that his applications showed more of his personality than the activities he participated in during high school.
Wang said that she committed to Stanford despite the fact that it didn't offer her first choice major, biochemistry, because it awarded her the most financial aid and it was closer to home than some of the other schools she was accepted to. At DBHS, Wang participated in marching band, Inkwell, Science Olympiad, NHS, CSF and USA Biology Olympiad.
"I was really surprised because…Stanford's acceptance letter came out three days before my anticipated date, so i wasn't mentally prepared. Because it's such a prestigious school, I had no expectations whatsoever," Wang said. "I honestly thought I was going to be rejected, but I clicked on it and it said I was accepted, and I was really happy."
At Princeton, Chiu is planning on majoring in electrical engineering and computer science and minoring in music. During his time at high school, Chiu joined multiple extracurricular activities involving music, such as playing in the National Youth Orchestra and the National Association for Music Education All-National Honor Ensembles as the principal oboe.
"I really want to start branching out and having a lot of relationships with people…I know people there are really successful, and that'll probably help me in the long run in like getting a job," Chiu said.


Accountabilty, is something that is seriously lacking in this country. From top to bottom we always find an excuse why we couldnt do it or did it. As much as our people are guilty of it members of our government past and present are worse off. Many just do things and expect us to forget, but now it is immortalized with the internet.
Look at Richard Nixon. Tapes came out that prove he caused the Vietnam war to last longer. LBJ had brokered peace in 1968, he announced the end of the war on Thursday. Saturday peace was called off. Nixon told the allies he could get peace if he got in office, because of this the war lasted 5 more years with 15,000 American deaths. Why didnt LBJ say anything? The FBI illegally recorded calls from South Vietnamese embassy.
George W. Bush and his Republican cronies lied us into the Iraq war. He sold everyone on WMDs and mushroom clouds. The Democrats stepped right in line and voted for this war. Over a decade later we never found a single WMD or nuclear weapon. About 110,000 Iraqui civilians died as well as how many Americans. For a lie or was it a grudge? What is going to happen to Bush and Cheney, will they face prosecution? I doubt they will be held accountable either.
Mitch Mcconnell, John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan led us into the Sequester. Cutting money from programs that help children and elderly. Finding a back door to stop cuts to the military, so they get the cuts they want but not the cuts they agreed to but dont want. They get the cuts they ask for but its not enough. These men blamed it on President Obama but they all voted for it and said how much they liked it. They are obviously not held accountable.
Please tell me how you expect average people to be accountable when our leaders arent accountable to us. It starts there, a parent leads a child, a government leads a nation. Leaders believe in accountability, why dont ours.

Cheniere Energy, Inc. is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) company headquartered in Houston, Texas. In February 2016 it became the first US company to export liquefied natural gas. As of 2018 it is a Fortune 500 company.

Company history
Initially an oil-and-gas exploration company, the company shifted its focus in the early 2000s to developing liquified natural gas regas terminals, beginning with a terminal in Sabine Pass, Louisiana in March 2005. The company faltered in the late 2000s as LNG imports dried up due to international competition. In 2016 Cheniere founder Charif Souki was ousted after a dispute with investor Carl Icahn.

In the late 2010s, as natural gas production rose in the United States, the company grew significantly and in 2016 became an exporter of LNG to international markets under its newly appointed CEO, Jack Fusco (former President and CEO of Calpine).

Cheniere published its second annual corporate responsibility report in June 2021 . Cheniere says it is taking innovative steps towards quantifying, monitoring, reporting and verifying data in partnership with producers and institutions in an effort to find opportunities to lower emissions.

In 2018 Cheniere Energy signed an agreement with CPC Corporation, Taiwan to supply liquefied natural gas for 25 years in a contract worth approximately US$25b. Deliveries to Taiwan are set to begin in 2021.

Het Cubaanse voetbalelftal is een team van voetballers dat Cuba vertegenwoordigt bij internationale wedstrijden en toernooien, zoals de (kwalificatie)wedstrijden voor het WK, de Caribbean Cup en de CONCACAF Gold Cup.

De Asociación de Fútbol de Cuba werd in 1924 opgericht en is aangesloten bij de Caraïbische Voetbalunie (CFU), de CONCACAF en de FIFA (sinds 1929). Het Cubaanse voetbalelftal behaalde in november 2006 met de 46e plaats de hoogste positie op de FIFA-wereldranglijst, in december 1994 werd met de 175e plaats de laagste positie bereikt.

Deelname aan internationale toernooien

Wereldkampioenschap
Vanaf 1934 speelt Cuba kwalificatiewedstrijden voor het WK-voetbal. Op 28 januari 1934 speelde het in Port-au-Prince tegen Haïti en won deze wedstrijd met 3–1. In de volgende ronde verloor het echter van Mexico waardoor ze zich niet plaatsten voor dit WK. In 1938 deed Cuba voor de enige keer mee aan het wereldkampioenschap voetbal. In de eerste ronde werd het na verlenging 3–3 tegen Roemenië. Héctor Socorro maakte de eerste goal voor Cuba op een WK-voetbal. In de replay werd met 2–1 gewonnen waardoor Cuba zich plaatste voor de kwartfinale. Die ging verloren met 0–8 tegen Zweden. Tot 2018 zou Cuba nog regelmatig deelnemen aan de kwalificatie maar zich nooit meer plaatsten.

In de regio doet Cuba aan verschillende toernooien mee. Het NAFC-kampioenschap gold in 1947 en 1949 als kwalificatie voor het WK. In 1947 werd dat toernooi in Cuba gespeeld. Er deden maar 3 landen mee en door de winst op de V.S. (5–2) werd Cuba tweede. De Caribbean Cup geldt als kwalificatietoernooi voor de Gold Cup. De resultaten zijn regelmatig goed genoeg om mee te mogen doen aan de Gold Cup. Het beste resultaat was in 2012. De eerste wedstrijd in de groepsfase werd nog verloren van Martinique (0–1) maar daarna werd er twee keer gewonnen, van Frans-Guyana (2–1) en van Jamaica (1–0). De finale werd bereikt en ook gewonnen. Door een goal van Marcel Hernández in de 113e minuut werd Trinidad en Tobago verslagen en daarmee werd Cuba kampioen.
De laatste twee deelnames aan de Gold Cup (2013, 2015) werd de kwartfinale bereikt. In 2013 werd van Honduras verloren (0–1) en in 2015 (afbeelding) werd van de Verenigde Staten verloren (0–6).

Fancy building a working model of DNA out of old bottles and cans? Or hunting for asteroids from the safety of your classroom? Looking for a game to explain microarrays? Or an experiment to measure citric acid levels in chewing gum?
These and many other exciting teaching activities are published in Science in School, the European journal for science teachers. True to its motto of 'highlighting the best in science teaching and research', Science in School offers articles written for teachers by the experts: science teachers and scientists.
The contents include not only teaching materials and projects, but also the latest scientific discoveries, current science topics, interviews with inspiring teachers and scientists, European events for teachers and schools, and many other useful resources for science teachers. Most of the articles are aimed at secondary-school science teachers, but activities and projects for primary schools are also published regularly.
Interpreting 'science' broadly, Science in School covers biology, physics and chemistry, as well as earth sciences, engineering and medicine. The most recent issue, for example, addresses antifreeze in Arctic fish, the electromagnetic spectrum in space, the battle against pseudoscience, and how to save the world from climate change.
And best of all: it's free. The full archive of articles is online (www.scienceinschool.org) and print subscriptions are available in Europe.
Launched in 2006, Science in School is published and funded by EIROforum (www.eiroforum.org), a collaboration of eight European inter-governmental research organisations – including CERN and the European Space Agency. Given the provenance of the journal, it is no surprise that the international flavour is very evident. In any one issue, articles may be sourced from 10 or more countries, offering an insight into the differences – but also the similarities – between different European curricula and teaching conditions.And of course, the journal itself is available in many languages. The print version is in English only, but the multilingual website currently offers articles in 28 European languages. This is made possible by several hundred volunteer translators – teachers and scientists from across Europe, who are keen to share the journal with colleagues whose English is not as good as theirs.
Clearly, the English language can also be a hindrance for many of the contributors, but the editors are always happy to help. If the idea for the article is good, they will work with the author to produce a simply written yet scientifically accurate article. No small task in some cases!
Getting the level right can also pose a challenge – especially for research scientists more used to writing for their peers. Again, the editors are happy to help – with the support of a team of referees. 'Could you use this topic in lessons?' 'How and with what age group?' These are just some of the questions that experienced science teachers answer, helping to guide the development (or not) of submitted articles.
If that all sounds enticing, why not browse the website, register for the email alert or subscribe to the print journal? You might even like to get involved – by submitting your own article, joining the referee panel, or translating articles into your native (European) language. The editors are always happy to have help from enthusiastic teachers.

The QAbstractFileEngine class provides an abstraction for accessing the filesystem.
The QDir, QFile, and QFileInfo classes all make use of a QAbstractFileEngine internally. If you create your own QAbstractFileEngine subclass (and register it with Qt by creating a QAbstractFileEngineHandler subclass), your file engine will be used when the path is one that your file engine handles.
A QAbstractFileEngine refers to one file or one directory. If the referent is a file, the setFileName(), rename(), and remove() functions are applicable. If the referent is a directory the mkdir(), rmdir(), and entryList() functions are applicable. In all cases the caseSensitive(), isRelativePath(), fileFlags(), ownerId(), owner(), and fileTime() functions are applicable.
A QAbstractFileEngine subclass can be created to do synchronous network I/O based file system operations, local file system operations, or to operate as a resource system to access file based resources.
This enum describes the types of extensions that the file engine can support. Before using these extensions, you must verify that the extension is supported (i.e., call supportsExtension()).
QAbstractFileEngine::AtEndExtension 0 Whether the current file position is at the end of the file or not. This extension allows file engines that implement local buffering to report end-of-file status without having to check the size of the file. It is also useful for sequential files, where the size of the file cannot be used to determine whether or not you have reached the end. This extension returns true if the file is at the end; otherwise it returns false. The input and output arguments to extension() are ignored.
QAbstractFileEngine::FastReadLineExtension 1 Whether the file engine provides a fast implementation for readLine() or not. If readLine() remains unimplemented in the file engine, QAbstractFileEngine will provide an implementation based on calling read() repeatedly. If supportsExtension() returns false for this extension, however, QIODevice can provide a faster implementation by making use of its internal buffer. For engines that already provide a fast readLine() implementation, returning false for this extension can avoid unnnecessary double-buffering in QIODevice.
QAbstractFileEngine::MapExtension 2 Whether the file engine provides the ability to map a file to memory.
QAbstractFileEngine::UnMapExtension 3 Whether the file engine provides the ability to unmap memory that was previously mapped.
The permissions and types of a file, suitable for OR'ing together.
QAbstractFileEngine::ReadOwnerPerm 0x4000 The owner of the file has permission to read it.
QAbstractFileEngine::WriteOwnerPerm 0x2000 The owner of the file has permission to write to it.
QAbstractFileEngine::ExeOwnerPerm 0x1000 The owner of the file has permission to execute it.
QAbstractFileEngine::ReadUserPerm 0x0400 The current user has permission to read the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::WriteUserPerm 0x0200 The current user has permission to write to the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::ExeUserPerm 0x0100 The current user has permission to execute the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::ReadGroupPerm 0x0040 Members of the current user's group have permission to read the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::WriteGroupPerm 0x0020 Members of the current user's group have permission to write to the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::ExeGroupPerm 0x0010 Members of the current user's group have permission to execute the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::ReadOtherPerm 0x0004 All users have permission to read the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::WriteOtherPerm 0x0002 All users have permission to write to the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::ExeOtherPerm 0x0001 All users have permission to execute the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::LinkType 0x10000 The file is a link to another file (or link) in the file system (i.e. not a file or directory).
QAbstractFileEngine::DirectoryType 0x40000 The file is a directory in the file system (i.e. not a link or file).
QAbstractFileEngine::HiddenFlag 0x0100000 The file is hidden.
QAbstractFileEngine::ExistsFlag 0x0400000 The file actually exists in the file system.
QAbstractFileEngine::RootFlag 0x0800000 The file or the file pointed to is the root of the filesystem.
QAbstractFileEngine::LocalDiskFlag 0x0200000 The file resides on the local disk and can be passed to standard file functions.
QAbstractFileEngine::Refresh 0x1000000 Passing this flag will force the file engine to refresh all flags.
The FileFlags type is a typedef for QFlags<FileFlag>. It stores an OR combination of FileFlag values.
See also fileFlags() and setFileName().
These values are used to request a file name in a particular format.
QAbstractFileEngine::DefaultName 0 The same filename that was passed to the QAbstractFileEngine.
QAbstractFileEngine::BaseName 1 The name of the file excluding the path.
QAbstractFileEngine::PathName 2 The path to the file excluding the base name.
QAbstractFileEngine::AbsoluteName 3 The absolute path to the file (including the base name).
QAbstractFileEngine::AbsolutePathName 4 The absolute path to the file (excluding the base name).
QAbstractFileEngine::CanonicalName 6 Often very similar to LinkName. Will return the true path to the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::CanonicalPathName 7 Same as CanonicalName, excluding the base name.
QAbstractFileEngine::BundleName 8 Returns the name of the bundle implies BundleType is set.
QAbstractFileEngine::OwnerUser 0 The user who owns the file.
QAbstractFileEngine::OwnerGroup 1 The group who owns the file.
See also owner(), ownerId(), and setFileName().
These are used by the fileTime() function.
QAbstractFileEngine::CreationTime 0 When the file was created.
QAbstractFileEngine::ModificationTime 1 When the file was most recently modified.
QAbstractFileEngine::AccessTime 2 When the file was most recently accessed (e.g. read or written to).
This typedef was introduced in Qt 4.3.
Constructs a new QAbstractFileEngine that does not refer to any file or directory.
Returns true if the current position is at the end of the file; otherwise, returns false.
This function bases its behavior on calling extension() with AtEndExtension. If the engine does not support this extension, false is returned.
See also extension(), supportsExtension(), and QFile::atEnd().
Returns an instance of a QAbstractFileEngineIterator using filters for entry filtering and filterNames for name filtering. This function is called by QDirIterator to initiate directory iteration.
QDirIterator takes ownership of the returned instance, and deletes it when it's done.
Should return true if the underlying file system is case-sensitive; otherwise return false.
Closes the file, returning true if successful; otherwise returns false.
Copies the contents of this file to a file with the name newName. Returns true on success; otherwise, false is returned.
Creates and returns a QAbstractFileEngine suitable for processing fileName.
You should not need to call this function; use QFile, QFileInfo or QDir directly instead.
If you reimplemnt this function, it should only return file engines that knows how to handle fileName; otherwise, it should return 0.
Requests that a list of all the files matching the filters list based on the filterNames in the file engine's directory are returned.
Should return an empty list if the file engine refers to a file rather than a directory, or if the directory is unreadable or does not exist or if nothing matches the specifications.
Returns the QFile::FileError that resulted from the last failed operation. If QFile::UnspecifiedError is returned, QFile will use its own idea of the error status.
See also setError(), QFile::FileError, and errorString().
Returns the human-readable message appropriate to the current error reported by error(). If no suitable string is available, an empty string is returned.
This virtual function can be reimplemented in a QAbstractFileEngine subclass to provide support for extensions. The option argument is provided as input to the extension, and this function can store output results in output.
The behavior of this function is determined by extension; see the Extension documentation for details.
You can call supportsExtension() to check if an extension is supported by the file engine.
By default, no extensions are supported, and this function returns false.
This function should return the set of OR'd flags that are true for the file engine's file, and that are in the type's OR'd members.
In your reimplementation you can use the type argument as an optimization hint and only return the OR'd set of members that are true and that match those in type; in other words you can ignore any members not mentioned in type, thus avoiding some potentially expensive lookups or system calls.
Return the file engine's current file name in the format specified by file.
If you don't handle some FileName possibilities, return the file name set in setFileName() when an unhandled format is requested.
See also setFileName() and FileName.
If time is CreationTime, return when the file was created. If time is ModificationTime, return when the file was most recently modified. If time is AccessTime, return when the file was most recently accessed (e.g. read or written). If the time cannot be determined return QDateTime() (an invalid date time).
See also setFileName(), QDateTime, QDateTime::isValid(), and FileTime.
Flushes the open file, returning true if successful; otherwise returns false.
Returns the native file handle for this file engine. This handle must be used with care; its value and type are platform specific, and using it will most likely lead to non-portable code.
Return true if the file referred to by this file engine has a relative path; otherwise return false.
Returns true if the file is a sequential access device; returns false if the file is a direct access device.
Operations involving size() and seek(int) are not valid on sequential devices.
Creates a link from the file currently specified by fileName() to newName. What a link is depends on the underlying filesystem (be it a shortcut on Windows or a symbolic link on Unix). Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.
Maps size bytes of the file into memory starting at offset. Returns a pointer to the memory if successful; otherwise returns false if, for example, an error occurs.
This function bases its behavior on calling extension() with MapExtensionOption. If the engine does not support this extension, 0 is returned.
flags is currently not used, but could be used in the future.
See also unmap() and supportsExtension().
Requests that the directory dirName be created. If createParentDirectories is true, then any sub-directories in dirName that don't exist must be created. If createParentDirectories is false then any sub-directories in dirName must already exist for the function to succeed. If the operation succeeds return true; otherwise return false.
See also setFileName(), rmdir(), and isRelativePath().
Opens the file in the specified mode. Returns true if the file was successfully opened; otherwise returns false.
The mode is an OR combination of QIODevice::OpenMode and QIODevice::HandlingMode values.
If owner is OwnerUser return the name of the user who owns the file. If owner is OwnerGroup return the name of the group that own the file. If you can't determine the owner return QString().
See also ownerId(), setFileName(), and FileOwner.
If owner is OwnerUser return the ID of the user who owns the file. If owner is OwnerGroup return the ID of the group that own the file. If you can't determine the owner return -2.
See also owner(), setFileName(), and FileOwner.
This is the position of the data read/write head of the file.
Reads a number of characters from the file into data. At most maxlen characters will be read.
Returns -1 if a fatal error occurs, or 0 if there are no bytes to read.
This function reads one line, terminated by a '\n' character, from the file info data. At most maxlen characters will be read. The end-of-line character is included.
Requests that the file is deleted from the file system. If the operation succeeds return true; otherwise return false.
See also setFileName() and rmdir().
Requests that the file be renamed to newName in the file system. If the operation succeeds return true; otherwise return false.
Requests that the directory dirName is deleted from the file system. When recurseParentDirectories is true, then any empty parent-directories in dirName must also be deleted. If recurseParentDirectories is false, only the dirName leaf-node should be deleted. In most file systems a directory cannot be deleted using this function if it is non-empty. If the operation succeeds return true; otherwise return false.
See also setFileName(), remove(), mkdir(), and isRelativePath().
Sets the file position to the given offset. Returns true if the position was successfully set; otherwise returns false.
The offset is from the beginning of the file, unless the file is sequential.
Sets the error type to error, and the error string to errorString. Call this function to set the error values returned by the higher-level classes.
See also QFile::error(), QIODevice::errorString(), and QIODevice::setErrorString().
Sets the file engine's file name to file. This file name is the file that the rest of the virtual functions will operate on.
See also fileName() and rename().
This virtual function returns true if the file engine supports extension; otherwise, false is returned. By default, no extensions are supported.
Unmaps the memory address. Returns true if the unmap succeeds; otherwise returns false.
This function bases its behavior on calling extension() with UnMapExtensionOption. If the engine does not support this extension, false is returned.
See also map() and supportsExtension().
Writes len bytes from data to the file. Returns the number of characters written on success; otherwise returns -1.

What Should You Expect From The Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes Sequel
Wake Up To The Smell And Sound Of Bacon Frying With This App


By Jake Rocheleau in Desktop. Updated on November 24, 2017 .
Mac users love Sketch and it's quickly becoming a popular alternative to Photoshop. But Sketch has one major downfall preventing widespread adoption: it's a macOS-only program.
To help resolve this issue (partially), we have Lunacy. It's a totally free Windows desktop program that allows you to view, edit, and even export Sketch files, right from your Windows machine.
It doesn't require extra plugins, syncing features, or anything like that. You just open the Sketch file in Lunacy and see it just like you would on a Mac.
However, Lunacy is so much more than just a viewing tool. It also works as an export tool, so you can generate custom design assets such as text, bitmap graphics, and even layer effects like shadows and gradients.
This gives Windows users a lot more control over their design workflow. You can move Sketch files between computers and even share them with non-Mac designers without much worry.
Granted Lunacy doesn't have many editing features and it's not a full replacement for Sketch. But, there are future plans to add editing features on Windows, so this would be a huge leap forward.
Perhaps the best part of Lunacy is the CSS export feature. You can find tons of plugins that convert Photoshop files into HTML/CSS and you can find many for Sketch as well.
Lunacy is the first program on Windows that lets you open a Sketch file and export it to raw HTML/CSS code. You can inspect each layer, study the colors/sizes/dimensions, and alter these in CSS if needed.
Each file opens with 100% accuracy, so this program feels much like a native Sketch application.
If you're a heavy Windows power user and need a way to support Sketch then this is the way to go. Until Sketch releases their own program for Windows, there isn't much else on the market beyond a VM. And, Lunacy is a lot easier than that!
Check out the Lunacy homepage to learn more and download a free copy of the program. It has both a full installable version and a portable version if you want to keep it handy on a USB or in a cloud account. Either way, Lunacy will remain free for life, so it's a trustworthy Sketch viewer you can count on.


Do you love old cars? I do. Have you ever driven down a county road and seen a classic old car or truck sitting way back in the trees just rusting away? Did seeing that take you back in time to another era when things were built to last, and a person's word was as binding as their signature on a contract? That's what this song is about.
Note: this recording is not yet finished; it's missing a few instrumental tracks and is a work-in-progress.
And our children didn't grow up so fast.
And the country was strong.
With blood, guts, and American steel.
