Orams case property dispute - judgement is in Orams favour.
Why Buy Property in Northern Cyprus?
Is It Safe to Buy in Northern Cyprus?
Read the summary of Orams Case prepared by the Naomi Mehmet & Partners law firm.
Linda and David Orams has won the case.
The verdict was announced on 6 September 2006.
The judgement allows others in the same position to invest in TRNC without the threat of enforcement of judgments rendered in the Republic of Cyprus in the EU.
It is expected that property prices will rise around 20% immediately after this.
TRNC Exchange title deeds can now be considered 100% safe to purchase.
Since 1974, when Cyprus was divided by the Green Line, there has been much discussion over the status of property and lands on either side of the border. During the events of 1974, many Turkish Cypriots fled north, leaving their homes and lands in the south, while Greek Cypriots fled south, again leaving houses and lands behind. Whilst some such lands in the south have been claimed by the Greek Cypriot authorities (to the extent that Larnaca airport is largely built on former Turkish Cypriot land), in North Cyprus, the land's status is recognised by the type of title deed applied.
One single court case has brought the whole issue to public attention, the case of Linda and David Orams. In 2002, the British couple built a house on land originally owned (i.e. pre 1974) by Meletis Apostolides, a Greek Cypriot now living in the south. Mr Apostolides and his family fled their home and lands during the events of 1974, when Mr Apostolides was aged 24. Mr Apostolides gained a court order from the Nicosia District Court in south Cyprus, which ordered the Orams to demolish the house, return to the land, and pay compensation to Mr Apostolides. Under the laws of the TRNC, the Orams are the legal owners of their property.
Whilst such court orders are applicable in EU countries, as South Cyprus is, it is not enforceable in North Cyprus, which has its own judicial system and is not a member of the EU. There are also legal presidents of south Cyprus court rulings.
Therefore, the lawyers acting for Mr Apostolides have tried to enforce the order in the UK, against the Oram's other assets held in the UK. The lawyers are invoking the Brussels Convention on Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Judgments, which allows the UK enforcement of a judgment delivered by a court of another EU country. However, the same Convention holds that a UK court can deny the EU court judgement if it were against public policy in the UK. Also, the EC regulation rules that a judgment made in the south Cyprus is only enforceable in the UK if it is equally enforceable in Cyprus, which it is not due to the different legal systems in the north and south of Cyprus.
The latest member of the Oram's defence team in December 2005 was none other than Cherie Booth QC, otherwise known as Cherie Blair, the wife of the British Prime Minister. Her involvement in defending the property rights of the Orams against the Greek Cypriot court ruling has given the court case the highest profile possible in the UK. It is also a potential source of embarrassment for the British government, who refuse officially to recognise the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus, but whose citizens make up 90% of those Buying Property in North Cyprus and whose Prime Minister's wife is defending a British couple's right to their North Cyprus property!
The British parliament's Foreign Affairs Select Committee stated in April 2005 that British property buyers in northern Cyprus "risk exposing themselves to legal action by Greek Cypriots who may be the rightful owners of those properties".
The resolution of the case has far-reaching political implications. A win for Mr Apostolides could open the floodgates to a series of individual land claims, which would undermine the attempts by the UN and others to unify the island once again. Annan Plan proposed by the UN suggested that settlements could be reached on the value of the lands in 1974, but considering that land prices are far higher now, and the difference between prices in the north and south, probably make this unworkable. However, some sort of reciprocal settlement deal would certainly make the situation much fairer for all and clearer for potential buyers. At present, land or property holding a pre-1974 Turkish Cypriot title deeds command higher prices than other kinds of title deeds.
If other south Cyprus court judgments are to be possibly served on UK owners through the UK judicial system, the foreign judgment must be lodged at the High Court in London, without informing the other party involved. A Notice of Registration is then served upon the last known address of the persons who are the subject of the foreign court judgement. They have the right to appeal within one month of the Notice being served, or two months if they are not living in the house at the time of the Notice being served. Any appeal is likely to focus on the issue of public policy as shown above, where the EU Regulation states "that a judgment shall not be recognised if such recognition is manifestly contrary to public policy in the Member State in which recognition is sought (Article 34.1)". The argument is simple; if the order is not enforceable in the country where the events took place, it is not valid in the UK.
The High Court was to decide on the Oram's case on July 18 - 20 2006, but only in terms of procedure and public policy, as outlined above. The High Court date ironically falls on the anniversary of the Turkish intervention, on 20th July 1974. The verdict of the trial has been delayed until the Autumn 2006.

Q: How to exclude test directories from coverage with meson? I would like to know if there is a way to specify that we want to exclude all the directories */tests/* from the paths explored for coverage in meson.build ?
Performing coverage analysis over the test files themselves is quite confusing because they are mostly covered at 100% and if you have a lot of them it mask the real cover rate from your real code. So, I really would like to avoid counting the test files themselves.
I already know about this issue on github (I posted there myself quite long time ago) but I would like to know if people started to develop workarounds about that.

Anthony James Longmore Worth  (23 February 1940 – 8 November 2017), also known as Tony Worth, was an English farmer and the former Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire.

Origins and education
Worth was born in 1940, the son of George Arthur Worth and Janet, the daughter of Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Longmore. The Worth family have long been established as farmers and landowners in the vicinity of Holbeach in Lincolnshire.

Worth was educated at Marlborough College, Iowa State University and Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.

Career
Having worked as a farm labourer in Iowa, a waiter and a London tour guide, Worth spent three years as a farm management consultant in Victoria (Australia) before returning to England in 1968 to manage his family's farming company in Holbeach Marsh, which now farms some 4,500 acres of silt land and produces entirely arable crops.

Worth served as Chairman of South Holland Internal Drainage Board, as a member of the Executive Committee of The Association of Drainage Authorities, as a member of the Anglian Region Flood Defence Committee and as Chairman of the Welland & Nene Local Defence Committee of the Environment Agency.

He was a former President of the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society and was also a member of the National Executive Committee and Board of the Country Land and Business Association, a member of the Board of Governors of the University of Lincoln and Chairman of the Lincolnshire Probation Board from 1999 to 2001.  He was also for five years Chairman of the European Initiative for the Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture (EISA).

What defined the last years of his life was realising his vision to create a lasting memorial to RAF Bomber Command in Lincolnshire. What started for him as a county memorial grew into something international in every way, emphasising the shared sacrifice and suffering of the bombing war, 1939–1945. The International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln is his lasting legacy.

Honours

Worth was appointed High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1990 and Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire on 30 October 2008.

In 2005 he received an honorary degree from the University of Lincoln.

He was appointed Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in the 2015 New Year Honours.

Private life
Worth married his wife Jenny in 1964; they had four children.

We have been working for quite some time on collaborating with the best partners out there to help companies build better apps. We're proud to announce that Instabug is officially collaborating with Beta Family to help companies find and engage with more than 80,000 testers from all over the world and provide them with an easy way to report bugs and send feedback through Instabug's SDK.
New Beta Family users referred by Instabug will receive 20% off their first month, while new Instabug users referred by Beta Family will also get a 20% discount with a special promo code.
One of the biggest challenges with beta testing is finding reliable testers who can provide quality feedback. This is where Beta Family comes in.
Beta Family is a crowd-sourced testing service with more than 83,000 registered testers who are eager to try out new apps. Companies can choose testers based on different criteria, like the testers' rating, gender, location, and age. A free version of the site gives access to the basic functions. Meanwhile, paid subscriptions provide several ways of getting more testers, offers the app personalized attention, includes the ability to customize questionnaires, and filter segments of testers. Beta Family also offers an option to pay testers if companies want to execute more extensive tests and get even more valuable feedback.
Another challenge that often occurs when it comes to beta testing and managing its process is receiving valuable feedback from beta testers and understanding exactly where something has gone wrong. It takes back and forth communication, tedious bug reporting, and long hours to decipher user steps and real issue. This is where Instabug comes in.
More than15,000 of the world's top apps like Lyft, Lifesum, and Houseparty, rely on Instabug to receive comprehensive feedback from their testers and build better apps. With one line of code, Instabug's SDK allows testers to report bugs and send feedback right from inside the app by simply shaking their phones and attaching annotated screenshots with recordings. These reports are sent directly to the company's designated dashboard with device details and all the logs needed to debug and iterate faster. Companies are also able to have in-app conversations with their testers to collect more details and understand what really happened, without the need to leave the app and open conversations elsewhere. Learn more about how Instabug can help you with beta testing here.
Through this collaboration, our aim is to encourage companies to submit their apps to Beta Family and invite testers to report bugs and send feedback from within the app using Instabug's SDK. Testers will be able to attach annotated screenshots, screen recordings, and a description related to the feedback or bug sent. With these reports, Instabug will automatically capture comprehensive details and the environment snapshot, visual user steps, the stack trace, and network logs to help teams triage, debug, and fix issues faster. This will help companies build better apps and truly ship high-quality products that win users' hearts.

Or as we call it in Central Minnesota, sunshine turns into rain and hail, turns into snow and then a tornado comes through. In early spring the weather in our area, Mother Nature has a mind of her own and sometimes like to give us all the seasons in the same day!
If your home gets hit with strong winds and hail and are having your home assessed for damage, be sure to check the garage door also. Chances are if the siding or windows have hail dents, your garage door may also. Another trigger should be if there were strong winds, check the garage door for any creases or folds as garage doors are the largest moving object on your home and are susceptible for damage.
How many sections make up the door?
What is the style of door?
Most of this information should be on a sticker on the edge of the door in the track.
If you have more than one garage door and only one is damaged, you'll need to mention that to your insurance company and get approval to replace both doors so they match.
Our staff is more than happy to help you work through the claim with you and help you work with insurance to ensure a smooth process.

3 players who got out most times against Ravindra Jadeja in Test history
Home/News/Jay Shah Confirms India Has Offered To Play Two Additional T20's In England
Jay Shah Confirms India Has Offered To Play Two Additional T20's In England
In an unexpected turn of events, the fifth Test match between India and England was cancelled following a sudden Covid scare after the Indian coaching staff tested positive for the virus on the fifth day of the Oval Test.
Things seemed bleak initially as there were fears of the entire Indian contingent testing positive before the last Test began but the affair started glistening once the test results were out before the night of the match and for the second consecutive time, Indian players tested negative which flagged that India will go forward with the Test.
A sudden twist in the tale
However, on the day of the Test match, Indian players were apprehensive of further rise in Covid cases in the middle of the match and expressed their reluctance to play in the game. Hours ahead of the match, the match was declared cancelled.
Owing to this sudden unfolding of events, English players were extremely unhappy and ECB claimed initially that India has forfeited the match. Going by the condition of the series, India led 2-1 and was on the brink of history as they could have bagged the fray after ages.
Despite England's persistent deliberations, India made it clear that they are not forfeiting the match and would like to schedule a one-off Test later in the year or the forthcoming one to complete such a brilliant contest of red-ball cricket.
India and England's strained relationships can affect the game
As per the reports, England suffered massive losses after the fifth Test was cancelled and this has added to their reasons of rage against the BCCI. Even a couple of English players withdrew their names from the tournament as a sign of protest against India.
In the wake of such debatable wreckage, BCCI secretary, Jay Shah confirmed that he has laid another offer to play two additional T20's in India's forthcoming tour to England so that the hosts can make up their losses.
Shah quoted to Cricbuzz, "It is correct that we have offered to play two extra T20Is when we visit England next July (only for the white-ball games). Instead of three T20Is, we will play five T20Is. Alternately, we will be willing to play a one-off Test as well. It is up to them to choose either of the offers."
Though the offing remains uncertain, yet for a Test series that promised so much excellence all around, it was a sour means to the end as the pandemic once again played the spoilsport.

Regional District of Nanaimo staff will inquire with B.C.'s ministry of municipal affairs about options related to a possible byelection exemption, currently scheduled for March 26. (News Bulletin file)
RDN to ask province if it can bypass regional director byelection
Regional District of Nanaimo board has vacancy after Area C director Maureen Young died in the fall
Karl Yu
The RDN will ask the B.C. government about a possible exemption from a byelection for a vacant regional director position.
Chief and deputy election officers were set to be named at a Jan. 11 meeting, setting the wheels in motion for a March 26 vote to replace Electoral Area C director Maureen Young, who died in the fall after a battle with cancer. However, given the timing of the next local government election as well as COVID-19 health and safety concerns, the board directed staff to inquire with B.C. Minister of Municipal Affairs Josie Osborne about options.
"My understanding is … if we made the call to Minister Osborne, she could actually waive that rule," Brian Wiese, Qualicum mayor and director, said at the meeting. "I think the only reason she would is it is a significant cost at this point for a six-month posting."
Sheryl Armstrong, Nanaimo director, said "it's worth a try" to ask for an exemption from a byelection.
"These are exceptional circumstances, especially with the rise of Omicron and everything. I personally would like to see it be put forward to the minister…" she said. "They don't want people going out. We're going to look at having mail-in votes, all of that."
Both Delcy Wells, RDN general manager of corporate services, and Doug Holmes, RDN CAO, said the province wasn't likely to allow an exception.
"We have had advice in the past that we're very unlikely to succeed in doing that because the election is such a fundamental obligation in the legislation," Wells told the board. "But we're happy to try it if that is the wish of the board."
Holmes pointed to a similar situation in the City of Nanaimo after Coun. Larry McNabb died in December 2010. The city was still required to hold a byelection.
The board won't proceed with byelection planning until staff have had a chance for further communication with the B.C. Ministry of Municipal Affairs.

KUALA LUMPUR, 15th November 2016 – The scent of pure forest from Hokkaido, Japan has today made its way into Malaysian mobile space with the launch of Clear Forest, an air purifier produced and manufactured by S.T. Corporation, a public listed company in Japan . "S.T. Corporation wants to be the first in Malaysia to bring this pure Clear Forest air to the mobile space of Malaysians. We see Malaysia as a potential market for Clear Forest as Malaysians are getting more conscious about health risks and the air they breathe," said Mr. Sorin Okudaira, General Manager, Clear Forest, S.T. Corporation Japan.
Quoting a survey by The Road Transport Department 2016, Mr. Sorin Okudaira said Malaysia has 18.8 million registered vehicles that are still active, involving 14 million drivers. The country is also ranked the world's third highest in car ownership up to 93 per cent according to the Nielsen Global Survey of Automotive Demand .
The high number of vehicles on the road without a doubt will heighten the rate of air pollution to an alarming level. This can be further aggravated by the open burning of forests in Indonesia which caused haze every year in Malaysia. The latest was last year in October when the Air Pollution Index even hit the hazardous level of 308 in some cities in Malaysia and over 1,909,842 students from 3,029 schools in Malaysia were affected.
According to the recent UNICEF October 2016 report, one in seven of the world's children breathe poor quality air, which is an estimation of 300 million of them. Air pollution causes almost one in every ten under-five deaths with outdoor and indoor pollution resulting to pneumonia and other respiratory diseases, making air pollution an "enormous" risk to children's health, Mr. Sorin Okudaira added . In fact, the study in the Journal Environmental Research Letters 2016 by Harvard and Columbia researchers estimated the amount of health-threatening fine particles, often referred to as PM2.5, released by the fires that burned from July to October last year in South East Asia could have caused 100,000 deaths .
"Dubbed as the silent killer, air pollution can also lead to many other health risks, including 36% from lung cancer, 35% pulmonary disease, 34% stroke and 27% heart disease," he said in his speech at the launching of Clear Forest today . A social responsibility to clear the air with Clear Forest The Department of Statistics in its Survey of Environmental Protection Expenditure 2015 claimed the air pollution prevention recorded the highest expenditure with RM763.5 million in Malaysia. A total of RM2.244 billion was spent for environmental protection in 2014. "While the Malaysian Government does their part annually to prevent environmental harm, we also want to do our part by bringing in Clear Forest to help clear the air. Malaysians, on the other hand, can also do their part by cultivating a habit of using eco-friendly products like Clear Forest," said Mr. Sorin Okudaira . Clear Forest is unlike any other air purifier in the market. It is made 100% from authentic fir forest oil which gives air purifying effects as well as deodorant and antioxidant benefits . Kushiro, Hokkaido is one of the two rare places in the world to have this fir forest tree where the formulation of Clear Forest was researched and developed.
The forest fragrance emitted by the branches and leaves of fir trees, β-phellandrene can actually help soothe tension and reduce stress .
"Not to be confused, Clear Forest is more than just a deodorant. It has air purifying capabilities which help in our respiratory system, balancing the way we breathe in and out at home or while we are on the go," said Daisuke Okamura, Deputy General Manager, International Business Division of S.T. Corporation responsible for Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and Brunei markets. A study conducted by the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute, Japan concluded that the forest hides infinite possibilities and is truly an irreplaceable treasure for man.The fragrance from the fir trees constantly cleans the air by binding nitrogen oxide (NO2) air pollutant to form bigger particles and then dropping them to the ground. In other words, the forest fir tree itself is an air purification filter.In conjunction with the launch, S.T. Corporation has picked 11street, one of the largest online shopping platforms in Malaysia, as its partner to collaborate on e-commerce business initiatives to market Clear Forest air purifier to online consumers."We are pleased to be partnering S.T. Corporation, a public listed company from Japan to bring its brand Clear Forest into our marketplace. With the exclusive collaboration in Malaysia, we do not only broaden our product variety for Malaysian shoppers' selection and at the same time, we help them on keeping up with their well-beings. On the other hand, with the rise of e-commerce in Malaysia, our partnership with S.T. Corporation today adds another feather to our cap, for we are honoured to support their strategy into an omni-channel retailing in Malaysia," shared Mr. Bruce Lim, Vice President of Merchandising Division, 11street . Sharing the same sentiments, Mr. Sorin Okudaira said, "We strongly believe we can carve a sizeable niche for Clear Forest in the air purifying market during our joint e-commerce venture with 11street. We are equally pleased to collaborate with 11street and tap on their vast and extensive knowledge and expertise in e-commerce." According to Franco Yee, Executive Chairman, GBU Marketing Services, a distributor for Clear Forest in Malaysia, Clear Forest air purifier will be made available exclusively online on 11street (www.11street.my) with immediate effect. It comes in two types: Home Use/Vehicle Use (36g) with a retail price of RM49 and Vehicle Use (32g) at RM39 .

Q: Back Arrow and Overflow Icons Wrong Color in Pre-Lollipop Devices After Updating to Support Library 23.2.0 On pre-Lollipop devices, the overflow menu icon and back button on actionbar changed to black color after upgrading to Support Library 23.2.0. They are white (which is the right color) before the upgrade.
The correct color is:

The wrong color appears for pre-Lollipop devices after the upgrade, as shown with the overflow menu icon:

The theme in sytle.xml (pre-v21/Lollipop):

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <!--Used on the application level by the manifest.-->
    <style name="app_theme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/app_primary_colour</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/app_primary_dark_colour</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/app_accent_colour</item>
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/app_background</item>
        <item name="searchViewStyle">@style/custom_search_view_style</item>
    </style>

    <!--Used by activities.-->
    <style name="app_theme.NoActionBar">
        <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
        <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
    </style>

    <!--TODO: What are these?-->
    <style name="app_theme.app_bar_overlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar" />
    <style name="app_theme.popup_overlay" parent="ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light" /> ... ... </resources>

I have looked here and here but didn't fix the issue.
UPDATE: Also see this Google bug report:  https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=201918

A: Just update to the Support Library 23.2.1, which fixes the problem.

For AppCompat users, the flags for enabling support vector drawables described in the 23.2 blog post (http://goo.gl/073Mpo) are no longer required for usage of AppCompat.

https://plus.google.com/+AndroidDevelopers/posts/BZgzpAqkd8G

A: I had this problem when changing the support library to 23.2.0. The back arrow and overflow icons turned black.
protected void changeBackArrow() {
    final Drawable upArrow = ContextCompat.getDrawable(this, R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_material);
    upArrow.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.textColorPrimary), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

    getSupportActionBar().setHomeAsUpIndicator(upArrow);
}

As of support 23.1 Toolbar now has getOverflowIcon() and setOverflowIcon() methods
protected void changeOverflowMenu() {
    final Drawable overflowIcon = getToolbar().getOverflowIcon();
    overflowIcon.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.colorWhite), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

    getToolbar().setOverflowIcon(overflowIcon);
}

A: I could fix.
I found that AppCompat theme is using following resource for overflow button: abc_ic_menu_overflow_material.xml
Content of this resource is:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:width="24dp"
        android:height="24dp"
        android:viewportWidth="24.0"
        android:viewportHeight="24.0"
        android:tint="?attr/colorControlNormal">
    ...
</vector>

Then, I connected the dots:

*

*First: It is using colorControlNormal

*Second: It is using vector

HOW TO FIX
According to Library V23.2.0 Release notes (LINK HERE), we have to update build.gradle to add support to Vector:
build.gradle
Add following lines to your build gradle
Gradle 2.0 (I did not tested):
android {
    defaultConfig {
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }
}

Gradle 1.5 (I'm using this.. it works):
android {
    defaultConfig {
        generatedDensities = []
    }

    aaptOptions {
        additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
    }
}

Fixing your theme
This step may be ignored. Some base themes already set colorControlNormal to white (such as AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar).
However, in my case, all button colors remained black and I had to add the colorControlNormal to my theme and override it with white color.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/white</item>
</styel>

I hope this can help you.
This was how I fixed my issue.

A: I am writing this answer, because the accepted answer did not work for me (even though it is correct). But I solved it in another way, so I'm sharing it here:
First of all, I did not add anything to the gradle file. I am using Support Library v23.4.0, as it is the latest one at the time of writing this post.
What worked for me is to hardcode the tint color or path color, instead of using a color resource reference. For example, use android:fillColor="#fff" instead of android:fillColor="@android:color/white":
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:width="24dp"
    android:height="24dp"
    android:tint="#fff"
    android:viewportHeight="24"
    android:viewportWidth="24">

Observe the tint and path color in the above code snippet. Earlier I was assigning the color as "@color/someColor" but it was showing a warning that it will work only for v21 and above, and it was actually not working below v21. So I changed that to a hardcoded value. Again it's a simple workaround/hack and probably not a correct solution.

A: I wrote a  helper (i use a static Helper class with useful functions) function, which can be called at the start of the onCreate() of a activity:
    public static void setWhiteBackArrow(ActionBar actionbar, Context context){
    //needed due to bug in Android compile version 23
    // https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=201918
    if (actionbar != null) {
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            final Drawable upArrow = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, android.support.v7.appcompat.R.drawable.abc_ic_ab_back_material);
            upArrow.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(context, R.color.white), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
            //ActionBar aBar = context.getSupportActionBar();
            actionbar.setHomeAsUpIndicator(upArrow);
        }
    }

Call it like this in the onCreate() of activity:
Helper.setWhiteBackArrow(getSupportActionBar(), this);

Saint Benedict Round Jubilee Sterling Silver Medal Protector Against Evil, Roman Catholic
SKU: S167718
A lot of hard work and great . artistry must have gone into making the die used to strike this medal. Its small at 13mm, but is has some of the best detail work of all our medals. I don't believe much of labels, so although this is made in a Roman Catholic style, anyone may where it.
Devotional medals are an ancient and venerable tradition in the Church. Many medals, struck with the Chi Rho symbol, have been found in the Roman catacombs and date from the very earliest Christian era. The medal of St. Benedict, one of the most popular devotional medals in the Church, is a two-sided medal, the current and most well known form of which was struck in 1880. The medal was based on earlier images and medals of St. Benedict, dating back at least to 1415, taken from a manuscript that depicted St. Benedict similarly to how he is represented on the medal. The medal can be worn, carried, attached to a rosary, hung, and may even be put into the foundations of homes and other buildings. The purpose of the medal is to be a constant, silent prayer, asking for God's blessing, for Jesus to be our guide, and for strength against evil in times of temptation.
Saint Benedict round double sided medal-pendant.
Solid .925 sterling silver.
Saint Benedict is the protector against evil.
Medal is die struck.
Hand polished and engraved by New England Silversmiths.
Dimensions:0.5" x 0.4" (13mm x 11mm)
Weight of medal: 1.0 Grams.
18" Genuine rhodium plated curb chain.
Made in USA.
Deluxe velvet gift box.

In the 1960s and '70s, the overland route from Europe to Asia became popular with disillusioned Westerners seeking what they saw as the paradise of the East. Their journeys are now the stuff of travel legend. Road to Katmandu is the story of Patrick Marnham's own pilgrimage from Turkey to Nepal in 1968. He travelled over three thousand miles, passing through Ankara to Ararat, Tehran and Mashad, Herat, Kandahar and Kabul, Peshawar, Lahore and Varanasi...before finally reaching Katmandu. His journey is a kaleidoscopic blend of tortuous train journeys and lethal truck drives; wild deserts, mountains and isolated villages. At heart this is the story of a generation that was escaping from the routine of conventional life and of how it found - or lost - its way. It provides an alluring insight into the nature of the 'hippie trail' and of those who forged it, before cheap air travel shrank the world. Road to Katmandu is an extraordinary testimony to the seductive beauty of the overland trail and a tribute to those who formed its ragamuffin cavalcade - a travel classic.


The admissions scandal cheats hardworking students out of an equal opportunity to earn their place in elite universities.
When the list of people involved in the college admissions bribery scandal was released, the first thing I did was check to see if I knew someone on it. I attended an elite, private K-12 school in Washington, D.C., not because my parents paid for me to get there, but because I worked hard.
In fact, my entire family uprooted their lives to shorten my commute to my high school. We downsized our home because the cost of living in the city was more expensive. The rumors I heard of my peers' parents paying to get them into elite schools like mine seemed ridiculous, but I had my suspicions.
And I'm not the only one. For decades, many have suspected that the wealthiest of our society pay their way into elite colleges. Now the truth is exposed. Yet, why is the evidence still so unnerving?
Perhaps because the college admissions scandal not only revealed the forms of bribery that are possible, but also that the rich will take extreme measures to guarantee their child's acceptance.
These students did not prioritize their education or athletics. Whether they were aware of their parents' bribery or not, they did know that they could rely on their parents' wealth. Some argue that these students did not realize what was being done was wrong. Others even sympathize with them.
I simply cannot sympathize with a privileged student who knew their parents bought them into an elite university, and are now facing the public backlash of that revelation. The college admissions process is supposed to show how students prepared to take the next step into adulthood.
Therefore, even those students who did not know of their parents' illegal activity to benefit them must be treated as adults. These students watched their peers struggle through the admissions process — whether trying to improve test scores and raise their GPAs or balancing sports and extracurriculars to be a well-rounded candidate.
Should these privileged students be expelled from school? Absolutely. They did not earn their place at these institutions and should pay the consequences of cheating the system.
As for the people within these institutions that helped and allowed this to happen, they should be ashamed. Universities derive much of their prestige from hand-selecting students. This scandal diminishes their institution's reputation as such.
In regards to falsified athletic profiles, such tactics equally harm actual student athletes. Some argue it is unfair that athletes are admitted to elite academic institutions for their athletic abilities. However, physical, musical and artistic talents are often overlooked in education despite the endless hours of the same dedication.
I competed on nationally ranked soccer teams throughout high school and played against girls who now play on the top-ranked soccer team in the United States. Although I chose not to pursue that path, I hold great respect for those who do. It is insulting to think that wealthy students bypassed all the hard work and dedication it takes to be considered a top athlete.
As a student and athlete, this scandal is a great insult to those who sacrificed so much. For those students in the midst of applying to colleges, these revelations complicate the process even more. How are incoming students supposed to take comfort in the process knowing it can be cheated? From a well-deserving applicant's perspective, it can feel as though nothing can be done for an equal chance to get into elite universities.
When I saw Northeastern on the list of those involved with the scandal, it was disheartening. The thought that someone sitting next to me in class is only here because their parents bribed their way in is frustrating. But to find out that a former member of a Northeastern oversight group — a NU alum — would financially influence a student's admission in exchange for services for his kids? That is just infuriating.
Despite my reaction of disappointment and anger, this investigation gives me hope that those responsible will be held accountable for their illegal actions.
It was out of envy that I occasionally asked myself, "How did my peers get into that school?" or "How is that girl I scored a goal on playing for that Division I school?" But after this scandal, I think more of us should be asking the same questions.

Q: Flutter - how to return data from WorkManager to main isolate? I can't see any mention in the WorkManager docs about how to return data from a background isolate to the main UI isolate.
What is recommended best practice?

A: I also had the same issue until I used SharedPreferences to save the result/data from WorkManager and on the main UI isolate I periodically call sharedPreferences.reload() to load the latest values. Then I retrieve the data stored by WorkManager. Hope this helps.

Last year while on vacation, I was flipping through the channels at the hotel late at night. I landed on a marathon of American Ninja Warrior. I had never watched the show before but quickly became enthralled with the obstacle courses and the athleticism of the competitors. After we returned home from vacation, I caught up on the current season on Hulu and impatiently waited from week to week for a new episode. I was hooked. I'm an American Ninja Warrior fanatic.
I started with Grant McCartney, "The Island Ninja," because he is one of my favorite competitors. He always seems to genuinely have fun running the courses and has a positive attitude, even when he comes up short.

Joey Votto was named to the National League All-Star team for the 6th time. He will join first-timers Scooter Gennett and Eugenio Suarez as the Reds' representatives in Washington DC on July 17.
As bad as the season started, Cincinnati has really started turning it around. The bullpen is better than expected, and the starters aren't half bad either. Hopefully the Reds can move Matt Harvey for some MLB-ready talent and start off 2019 on the right foot.
The Reds went on an absolute tear this past week, winning six straight games and catching the attention of awards-giver-outers. Second baseman Scooter Gennett was named the NL Player of the Week for May 7-13, hitting .591 with four homers and 10 RBI. I decided to resurrect this design I toyed with earlier this year. It's kind of a pain to outline the player, so it won't be used often.
The Reds' bullpen was also honored this week. The bullpen that I have been criticizing all year combined for a 0.95 ERA and struck out 32 batters from May 7-13.
I still don't like relief pitchers.
Albert Pujols became the 32nd major leaguer to collect 3000 hits in a career, joining an esteemed list of individuals such as Ty Cobb, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Ichiro Suzuki. He is one of only two active players in the 3000 hit club; Adrian Beltre reached the milestone last July. The only retired members of the 3000 hit club who are not in the Hall of Fame are Pete Rose (permanently banned), Derek Jeter (not eligible until 2020), Alex Rodriguez (not yet eligible and steroid issues), Ichiro Suzuki (not yet eligible), and Rafael Palmeiro (steroid issues).
Congratulations Walker Buehler, et al.
Sean Manaea pitched the first no-hitter of the 2018 season last night against the Boston Red Sox. He struck out ten batters and only walked two. Marcus Semien score all three Oakland runs, crossing the plate after doubles by Jed Lowrie in the first inning and Stephen Piscotty in the third, and hitting a solo home run in the fifth.

"Minding the Gap": Middle America Rolls On
"Penny Marshall put Rockford, Illinois on the map with A League of Their Own, her 1992 movie about the Rockford Peaches women's baseball team." That's the kick-off of a recent article in the Hollywood Reporter, announcing the town's plans to honor the late director by staging a Penny Marshall Celebration in mid-September. Marshall's daughter and grandchildren are scheduled to participate, and a highlight will be the unveiling of plans for Rockford's International Women's Baseball Museum.
A recent Hulu film—one that's been nominated for both an Oscar and a primetime Emmy—shows another side of Rockford, Illinois. Minding the Gap, a documentary feature by Millennial filmmaker Bing Liu, also deals with athletics, but women who play baseball is hardly its focus. Instead, Minding the Gap plunges us into the world of skateboarding, introducing us to several young men (including the filmmaker himself) who are passionate about jumping onto a seven-inch slab of maplewood outfitted with wheels in order to sail down sidewalks, soar off ramps, and flip ecstatically skyward. Skateboarding, a sport with no formal rules, is clearly the definition of "cool.' It seems well suited to young bodies and young minds, and when the film began I assumed it would be a paean to skateboarding as an emotional release from the mundane life of boys growing up in a drab middle-America town.
Minding the Gap is that, but also much more. What makes the film unique is the intimacy of its look at its central characters: Keire Johnson, Zack Mulligan, and Liu himself. They are all skateboard buddies from way back: Liu started filming their boarding antics when he was only fourteen years old, though it took a decade for him to decide that their stories would be the basis of his first documentary film. (He's now reached the ripe old age of 30.) Through visual footage and on-camera interviews he brings us into their lives. Johnson is a sweet-natured,African American haunted by the death of his father soon after they had angrily parted ways. Liu, born in China, shares his own anxieties about his mother's second marriage to a tough-minded Anglo. Mulligan, perhaps the most charismatic of the three, is a wild man on his board, but also a husband and a father who can't seem to reconcile his competing urges to protect his toddler son Elliot and to shuck off all sense of responsibility. In the course of the film, we also meet Bing Liu's immigrant mother, Zack Mulligan's increasingly frustrated baby mama, and other Rockford residents who comment tellingly about the world the three young men inhabit with such obvious discomfort.
What becomes startling in the course of the film is the realization that none of these three skateboarders is a stranger to domestic violence. Keire Johnson's childhood is remembered as a time when stringent discipline within the house was considered the best way to keep young black boys out of trouble outside it. Bing Liu , his younger brother, and their sad-eyed mother all admit they were victims of the stepfather's raging brutality. As for Zack Mulligan, he copes with his inability to grow up by hard-core drinking and by lashing out at whomever is present. Says he to the camera at one particularly telling moment, "You can't beat up women . . . but some bitches need to be slapped sometime."
Minding the Gap ends with a shred of hope that these broken lives can be mended. In a poignant scene at his father's grave, Keire Johnson muses that his dead dad's qualities—tough discipline and love—are akin to those that skateboarding demands.

Crypto owners must think of themselves as the custodians of their own funds. Just as a bank is responsible for safekeeping your cash, you're the tip of the spear in safeguarding your own crypto currencies. Our goal is to help you decide which Bitcoin wallet might be best for your personal security and privacy needs.
There are two primary types of crypto wallets. The first is a hardware wallet (aka: hard, cold). Hardware wallets provide offline security with an extra layer of protection essential in the digital world. Removing cryptos from online exposure puts you in the driver's seat and protects your funds against hacks.
The second type of wallet is a software wallet. Software wallets are generally wallets that require an internet connection to access them.
While safer, not everyone will always need to use a hardware Bitcoin wallet. Sometimes currencies will be traded, spent, transferred, staked, held in smaller amounts or even used as collateral. Using a software wallet in instances like this may prove more practical. However, given the security threats involved with this approach, it's important to choose the best Bitcoin wallet possible.
The following articles will give general overviews for the most popular hardware and software wallets available today. In no way are these reviews meant to be an endorsement of these products. Remember, we encourage everyone to do their own research and arrive at their own conclusions.

Still Waiting: Here's Why Pritzker Hasn't Signed IL Sports Betting Into Law
Lawmaker says a Super Bowl launch date, not the start of football season, a 'reasonable' goal
by Jill R. Dorson

It's been more than three weeks since the Illinois General Assembly passed a massive capital bill that includes legalized sports betting and sent it to Governor J.B. Pritzker, yet Prtizker, who tasked the General Assembly with legalizing sports betting, has not signed it yet.
It could be any number of reasons, but there's one in particular could be causing Pritzker to wait — late last week, it became public knowledge that Illinois Gaming Board Chairman Don Tracy tendered his resignation. Sources in Illinois say its possible that Pritzker is waiting to name Tracy's successor before signing the legislation, which also includes a new land-based casino in Chicago. Tracy was appointed in 2105 by former Governor Bruce Rauner, and according to the State-Journal Register, he offered his resignation to Pritzker's transition team last November.
Regulations, applications, testing
The fact that Pritzker hasn't signed yet means the bill is not yet law, and as such, it's unlikely that any action has been taken to move forward with sports betting — or anything else in the bill. But with regard to sports betting, the goal in every state is to launch by football season, but that seems unlikely, given that the gaming board (likely) hasn't yet begun the regulations writing process.
Illinois Senate follows suit with the House a day earlier and approves gaming expansion including sports betting and casinos for Chicago, south suburbs, Waukegan, Rockford, Danville and S. IL., slots for O'Hare and Midway and slots at horse race tracks. Revenue to infrastructure.
— Rick Pearson (@rap30) June 2, 2019
In most jurisdictions, it has taken months from the time sports betting is legalized until regulations are rolled out and a public-comment period is opened. As an example, Washington D.C. legalized sports betting in December, but regulations weren't put out for public comment until June 14.
That's not unusual. It's a lengthy process for a gaming commission to develop regulations that match the legislation that was passed, and in addition to that, some commissions must also negotiate a deal with their sports betting vendor, as well. That's not likely part of the puzzle in Illinois, though, as the state lottery won't be overseeing sports betting.
"I hope he signs it before July 1 so we can get a move on," said Representative Mike Zalewski (D-District 23), who was the original sponsor of 2019 Illinois sports betting legislation. "But they might be realigning gaming board before he signs."
Once Pritzker signs, the timeline would look something like this: 60-90 days for rules to be developed; the rules would then be open of public comment; casinos apply for master licenses; and finally, a testing period would be held just before launch. Also during this timeframe, suppliers and others in need of licenses to operate in relation to sports betting would be applying for licenses.
There are variables, and in some states, like Pennsylvania, the gaming commission rolled out temporary regulations rather than more permanent ones in 2018.
Football season launch not likely in IL
Zalewski said it's possible — though he doesn't know if it will happen — that lawmakers could invoke an emergency rule statue in Illinois that would move the process along a little faster.
While stakeholders — who have to build out their brick-and-mortar sportsbooks — are likely hoping for a football season launch, Zalewski called a Super Bowl rollout "a reasonable guess."
Zalewski authored his sports betting bill early in the session and both he and Representative Bob Rita (D-District 28), who was the author of a bigger gaming bill, held multiple hearings on the topic. Their bills were ultimately rolled into the $12 billion capital bill that Rita sponsored on the House side during the last week of the session.
Voting on the bill came down to the wire and took an overtime session and plenty of dealing to get it done. Because of that, sports betting looks a bit different than it did in the original proposal. The bill was sent to Pritzker's office on June 5.
Online sports betting could be revisited
"There are things I think people are going to ask in hindsight to revisit down the line," Zalewski said. "Probably what the online marketplace looks like will be asked to be revisited. But critiques of the bill have been kind of muted. I think people were kind of overwhelmed with what happened on June 1 (when the bill passed the House) and are still digesting."
The Illinois bill that massively expands gambling gives a head start to local casinos and horse tracks in the business of sports betting https://t.co/pLZZ1jJbAP
— Bloomberg (@business) June 7, 2019
Online sports betting was a hot topic of discussion during the process, with Rush Street Gaming, then owners of Rivers Casino, asking for a three-year "penalty box" for daily fantasy and sports betting giants DraftKings and FanDuel. Rush Street claimed the pair had been illegally operating their fantasy businesses in Illinois for several years and should be penalized by having to wait. In the bill that the General Assembly passed, all online-only operators are prohibited from launching sports betting until 18 months after bricks-and-mortar sportsbooks launch, effectively giving the existing Illinois casinos a head start.
Physical sportsbooks would be able to launch state-wide apps as soon as they meet regulatory approval.
Meanwhile, neighbors Indiana and Iowa, both of which legalized earlier this year and appear on target to have state-wide mobile sports betting in time for the NFL season. While Illinois may be missing kickoff, many are simply thrilled the market in the sixth most populous U.S. state is on track to open up period.

48HP, articulated steering, Alpine Tractor, 2 Year warranty.
The Supertigre 5800 is the new articulated tractor from the Series 21. It is extremely narrow in order to easily penetrate the most difficult and delicate crops; it has incredible steering which allows it to be used with maximum accuracy and speed: leaving it unbeatable in narrowrowed specialised crops and on greatly sloping ground. Its four wheel drive transfers all of the engine's power to the ground and its enormous balance allows for the use of heavy equipment without sliding or damaging the ground.
The Supertigre has ACTIO™, Antonio Carraro's full chassis with oscillation which determines exclusive and inimitable features: low centre of gravity, 15° oscillation between the two axels and therefore homogenous and constant traction on all ground conditions along with tight and accurate steering.
The gearbox has 12 speeds, 8 forward and 4 reverse. It works with minimum effort and low consumption even when carrying out normal farm tasks throughout the entire year, thus guaranteeing a rapid return on investment. Excellent ergonomics and comfort. The Supertigre's engine is indirect injection diesel and has the most advanced combustion and injection systems available. Good road transfer speeds.
The Supertigre enjoys 2 years standard warranty with up to 4 years extended warranty package (EXG).


I try so hard to live an amazing life.
I firmly believe that the best opportunities in life are created by us…that they're simply choices and we carry them out with tenacity. With hope. With faith. And we just MAKE. THEM. HAPPEN.
The last couple of years have been really difficult for me. I left a job in 2014 that was pretty cushy in terms of pay and hours due to a growing amount of stress that was starting to cause a lot of negativity and sadness in my life. In order to maintain my lifestyle (ahem, pay my bills), I ended up having to take two new jobs. I worked for one of the most amazing people I've ever met, Dr. Brew, at Vitality Chiropractic, and I also started working for an ambulance company.
I was working upwards of 90 hours a week, with only every other Sunday off. Living off of 2 hour naps, sleeping in my car between jobs to make sure I would never be late, and always trying to keep a smile on my face and bring my "A" game to work….it was rewarding, but exhausting.
I was fortunate to find the job at the ambulance company (thanks, Lidia!), because it introduced me to the field that I wanted to begin my career in. I continued to learn, and applied to work as a Fire Dispatcher for San Diego Fire-Rescue in 2015. I was hired and training by the end of the year, and just celebrated my one-year mark with them in December.
It's been a long road. But it's been worth it.
The issue is, now I still feel so…..tired. I work 3-4 days a week, 12 hour shifts…and I have so much more time on my hands. Somehow, I still haven't slept enough to make up for that 21 months of insanity.
This year, I decided, I have to keep on pushing like I did working crazy hours, and do some things to shake my life up and live it like I said I would.
So, I planned a trip to Italy in April. I just found out Zainab is officially going with me again, and I am SO excited! We are flying into Florence and staying in a beautiful apartment while we use the beautiful city as a home base to see Tuscany (there is a day touring prosciutto, parmesan and balsamic factories involved, y'all).
The end of this month, I'll be road-tripping to Arizona with my friend Brian to see one of our favorite country duos, Dan + Shay, and catch a game while the Padres are at Spring Training! I'm also insisting on stops at Dateland (every kind of date, date shakes, date ice cream….I buy dates for Whole30 goodies here) in Yuma, and a Cracker Barrel….because obviously!
I am going to Greece at the end of June with The Boudoir Divas (I believe they opened one more coveted spot last minute since the four original ones went so quickly) to do a photoshoot in Mykonos and Santorini. Going on one of their International trips has been on my bucket list FOREVER, and Greece has been on that list, as well!
I flew to DC during my birthday week to see my family. My "sister cousins," their beautiful babies, and the aunt and uncle who took me in during my teen years.
I flew to Denver in January to visit my Bestie in her new home state, and even brought Zainab along and managed to surprise her!
The end of summer, you'll find me in New Orleans with the Obesity Action Coalition, attending my third Your Weight Matters Convention. Pretty excited to be in the big easy with people I love, expanding my knowledge and working to be a better advocate for Obesity treatment and bias-fighting!
I've got some other plans pending for this year, but I think I'm off to a pretty good start! I'm also starting another round of Whole30 this Sunday, to get my mind and body ready for all this jet-setting and indulgence. I need to feel my best to live my best. I hate how growing up makes you actually respect realities such as these (and if you don't, you'll find yourself vomiting Jack in the Box tacos and cursing yourself for eating like you're 19 again, so…there's that).
Moral of the story? Don't forget to make room for LIVING. Life is too short.
Sean's grandpa, whom I affectionately thought of as my own, passed away the day after my birthday, on March 2nd. He is one person who always said "I'm blessed!" when you asked how he was doing, and always made it a point to tell the stories of the amazing 93 year-long life he lived. We will be celebrating his life today at his wake, and tomorrow at his funeral.
I want to be a person who lives to tell of the adventures, and says with pride that she did it because she could. Because she MADE IT HAPPEN.
Life is waiting for you!

My name is David 'TradeCraze' Knight (more about me), and I'm a futures and commodities trader.
This website is my own personal trading blog. It showcases, the good, the bad, and the ugly of day trading. Yes, you have to have all of it to experience the good!
The most fundamental thing you must do each and every trading day as a trader is to Live to Fight (Trade) Another Day! Because; it is not your winning days you need to worry about, it is those losing days – when you lose more than just money!
You must religiously plan out your trade and continually follow your trading plan to allow yourself the best opportunity to make money as a trader.
What was a major influence on my trading life?
Probably, the 1983 movie Trading Places with Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy about the Futures and Commodities Markets. This movie more than any other left an image on my heart and mind about a career in trading.
It was a fascinating time to see a sea of live traders standing in real trading pits. These traders, with their unique trading jackets, made the markets and our economy jump and come alive!
Why did I start the personal trading journal?
On the advice of a good friend, she wanted me to write about what I am going through. The extension of this thought process is shown on this website.
One of the trading strategies I was working on improving was the HVS Trading Strategy.
The continuation of my Crude Oil Trading Project and my latest trading method is now being shown as CL Power. This is short for Taking Care of Business in the Crude Oil Market and Power, because it is very powerful!
You will see more of my thought process under the Members tab as I continue to build out my trading strategies/methods on a step by step basis.
In addition, my new website is an extension of my earlier work at Knight Capital Management, and my original blog at blogger.
What makes me different, you ask?
I spend most of my time as a day trader trading the Crude Oil Market.
I have decided to start with 2 contracts. My trading methods/strategies have been developed and refined over my 25 plus trading career.
I invite you to look over my shoulder, and comment.
I am certain you will benefit from the trading knowledge I will share with you.
This is not an exhaustive list of the Trading Masters.
The individuals mentioned above; I have had the pleasure to either personally meet, read their published works, or a combination of both.
In my humble opinion, these are the best of the best in the futures/commodities education field.
More importantly, to the best of my knowledge each of the individuals listed have been successful as traders, which is the most important aspect of trading!
Start Here to Continue Your Journey on Becoming a Success as a Trader!
I sent an e-mail to receive the free newsletter and trading tips at least a month ago and was just wondering if it was delivered as I haven't got a response back. Thanks much and looking forward to talking to David eventually about his expertise/ guidance in the area of trading.
You will find all of my ideas/strategies/methods … under my education and blog tab. I have been incognito recently … been in trading development.
If you have the time could you please send me an alternative e-mail to my e-mail address. I'd like to give you some personal info to see if you are able to talk to me personally.
This is exactly what people interested in trading like me are looking for on the internet.

Google Translate Now Converts Japanese Text to English
Current Affairs,Geek,News,Travel
WRITTEN BY Nicola Dowse / Edited BY Ariana Pezeshki
If you've ever studied a language or been to a non-English speaking country, Google Translate has probably saved your hide more than once. Since launching more than a decade ago, the language translation tool has evolved from a simple website that could only translate two languages via text input, to a smartphone app that can translate more than 100 languages via text, audio or image input.
And now we have come one step further. Google Translate can now translate Japanese characters to English (and vice-versa) in real time.
The Google acquired Word Lens app. The future is HERE. Source
Admittedly, Google Translate could already translate text from a static photo, but the update means you can now get a LIVE translation of everything from street signs to menus, without filling up your memory with photos.
This feature is available via the Word Lens app integrated into both the iOS and Android versions of the Google Translate app. It really is as easy as opening the app, point at text to translate, and voila! Instantly translated Japanese text!
Never miss the right train station ever again. Source
Although Japan is already quite accessible to non-Japanese speaking (or reading) tourists, going off the beaten path can quickly mean entering the "point and hope" stage of travel. Particularly, if you've got food intolerances or need to buy medicine, being able to instantly translate Japanese text is (almost literally) a lifesaver.
Word Lens can also currently translate text from 27 languages including English, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, , Turkish and Ukranian, as well as one-way translations of Hindi and Thai.

One of our greatest attributes is being annoying. One of the ways in which we achieve this is by inserting words ending in -ation into the Record Breakers theme tune instead of 'dedication'. You can read the title again now, if you want – although we advise against it.
Jonathan Trott scored at five an over. Does that mean something? Probably not in itself, but it did contrast with approach of most of his team-mates.
At least we presume that's what happened. It seems like most of the middle order has emigrated to the polarised land of block or heave. What happened to rotating the strike? Paul Collingwood would have been turning in his seat in the stands if that wouldn't have resulted in a spilt beverage.
Did a job. We're not sure it's a job the world needs, but he did it anyway. If you're going to bowl slow-medium and nothing more than that, at least put the ball in the right place. Lyon did.
All of Australia's bowlers put the ball in the right place, actually. Batsmen short of confidence and unsure of what's going on tend to buckle in the face of such arid bowling.
Clever old England. They do amaze sometimes with their attention to detail, realising that to hold the urn for more than a couple of months, it's the next series that matters, not this one.
2-2 in the series, Australia congratulating themselves on levelling the series. They'll go home happy, relatively speaking. Then one night, about three weeks later, Michael Clarke will wake up at 2am in a cold sweat, having realised what it is that's been troubling him these last few weeks. He'll phone Darren Lehman first thing the next morning.
They'll never recover from that.
To paraphrase John Emburey, farkin' hell.
Kind of weird that Bell came out after tea and played a 20/20 arsewipe of a shot against Lyon. Wasn't he given the full picture of how the day was to pan out?
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. England were indulging in a bit of role-playing where Trott batted like Pietersen, Bairstow batted like Trott, and Bell batted like an idiot.
And Australia still wouldn't win this.
I want to smash some things.
Starting with Ronald's stubbly face.
Well, I, for one, am not jealous of Ged having to spend three days watching this.
It's Ged, he's the reason. Rogers scoring a century while Ged is in attendance. Coincidence? I think not.


Type 316 steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel which contains 2 to 3 % molybdenum. The molybdenum content increases corrosion resistance, enhances resistance to pitting in chloride ion solutions and augments strength at high temperatures.
It is particularly effective in acidic environments and in defensive against corrosion caused by the sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, formic and tartaric acids and as well as acid sulfates and alkaline chlorides.
It is very durable in nature, easy-to-fabricate, clean, weld and finish. It is significantly more resistant to solutions of bromides, chlorides, sulfuric acid, iodides and fatty acids at high temperatures.
Stainless steels which contain the element molybdenum are even needed in the manufacturing of precise pharmaceuticals so as to prevent excessive metallic contamination.
The most familiar uses of type 316 stainless steel are in the construction of exhaust manifolds, furnace parts, heat exchangers, jet engine parts, evaporators, chemical processing equipment, pharmaceutical and photographic equipment, valve and pump parts, tanks, pulp and paper and textile processing equipment and parts that are exposed to marine environments.
The types of 316 stainless steel include Type 316L.
Type 316L stainless steel is an extra-low carbon version of the 316 steel alloy. The lower carbon content in this type reduces harmful carbide precipitation as a result of welding. Therefore, it is even utilized when welding is needed in order to make sure that there is maximum corrosion resistance.
While similar to Type 304, both Type 316 and 316L show signs of advanced corrosion resistance and are stronger and further temperatures. They too are non-hardenable by heat treatment and can be promptly formed and drawn.
It is a molybdenum-bearing grade & can be categorized under the austenitic steel category.
It is extensively used in the marine sector, as it is corrosion resistance and can even be utilized in the harsh marine conditions as well.
As it is corrosion resistance, it is very used in various commercial and industrial applications and as well as in high-chloride environments.

Manchester United prioritize Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham continues to impress at Dortmund and is primed to join another big European side. Lars Baron/Getty Images
The summer transfer window is closed for the major leagues in Europe. However, with an eye on January, there's plenty of gossip swirling about who's moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Man Utd prioritize Dortmund's Bellingham
Manchester United are set to make Jude Bellingham their primary target for next summer, according to The Mirror.
Erik ten Hag is keen to land the 19-year-old midfielder, with Borussia Dortmund reportedly demanding upwards of £130 million for his transfer.
It is reported that they will join the race for his signature with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Real Madrid, but the Red Devils are aware that they must secure a Champions League place if they are to be able to persuade him to make the switch to Old Trafford over other suitors.
After United failed to secure a move for Barcelona star Frankie de Jongit looks as though Bellingham has been escalated to the top of the shortlist.
The England international has contributed to 11 goals in 18 appearances for Edin Terzic's side this season.
PAPER GOSSIP
– Barcelona and AC Milan are leading the race for Jorginho, Sports reports. The 30-year-old Chelsea midfielder will enter the final six months of his contract in January, and that will allow clubs from outside of the Premier League to discuss a pre-contract agreement with him. It is understood that he would favor a move to LaLiga.
– Eden Hazard could leave Real Madrid in January, according to Mundo Deportivo. Despite being contracted at the LaLiga club until the summer of 2024, just one start in the league this season has left the 31-year-old winger unsure of his future in Spain's capital. Juventus have been linked with the Belgium international.
– Juventus are discussing a loan move for Real Madrid's Alvaro Odriozola, writes Calciomercato. It is reported that Carlo Ancelotti's side are willing to allow the 26-year-old right-back to leave the Santiago Bernabeu on loan for free in the January transfer window, having made no appearances this season. Odriozola enjoyed a successful spell in Serie A with Fiorentina last season.
– FC Salzburg's Noah Okafor is attractive interest from Arsenal, understands Ekrem Konur. The Gunners are believed to have sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old forward in the Champions League on Wednesday, with Mikel Arteta's side joining AC Milan and Leeds United in the race for his signature. Okafor has scored nine goals in 18 appearances across all competitions this season for the Austrian side.
– AC Milan are planning to open talks over a new contract with Olivier Giroudreveals Fabrizio Romano. The 36-year-old forward registered two goals and two assists in the Rossoneri's Champions League 4-0 win over Salzburg on Wednesday. With his current terms set to expire next summer, it looks as though the Serie A side are keen to keep him at the San Siro.
