The coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak in Singapore: Reuters
SINGAPORE: Singapore on Thursday confirmed 257 new Covid-19 infections among foreign workers, taking the total number of coronavirus cases in the country to 41,473.
The new patients include four community cases, including one permanent resident (foreigner), the health ministry said.
The other three are foreigners on work passes. The rest 253 cases are also foreign workers living in dormitories.
The total coronavirus cases in Singapore now stands at 41,473.
As of Wednesday, Singapore had 9,252 active Covid-19 cases. The virus has claimed 26 lives so far in the country, the ministry said.
The government on Wednesday said that Singaporeans and permanent residents who had gone out of the country before an advisory against travelling abroad was issued on March 27 will not have to pay for the Covid-19 tests on their return.
However, the waiver will be applicable only if they come back by August 31, the health ministry said.
Those who left the country after March 27 will have to pay for their Covid-19 tests, which costs up to SGD 200.
They would also need to pay for staying in dedicated facilities if they are serving their stay-home notices there. This applies to all Singaporeans, permanent residents and foreigners.
The ministry also clarified that it will not automatically swab those who are aged 12 or younger before they end their stay-home notices unless their close contacts test positive for the virus.

Power: Nigeria's energy market losses N253bn revenue over IPC closure
on: February 05, 2020 In: Power
*Ibom Power Company.
Mkpoikana Udoma
Port Harcourt — There are indications that the country's economy and the entire Nigeria's energy market have lost over N253,665,783,806 revenue, due to the over three weeks rift between Ibom Power Company Limited, IPC and its host community.
Ibom Power Plant, owned by the Akwa Ibom State Government is a 191MW gas fired power generating plant, geographically located along the Atlantic Ocean basin, beside the Imo River in Ikpa-Ibekwe town, Ikot Abasi Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State.
Speaking on the economic lost orchestrated by the continuous closure of the power plant as a result of the ongoing protest by the host community against the firm, a Chartered Economist, Mr Friday Nathaniel Udoh, said an investment of N513billion is also threatened by the shutdown.
Udoh who is also the coordinator of Institute of Chartered Economists of Nigeria, South-South, explained that at the current electricity price of N31.58 per kilowatt, plus 7.5percent VAT, IPC has lost over N3.3billion in the last 24days.
He further disclosed that oil firms such as Savannah Petroleum and Frontier Energy Limited, which supply over 45MMscf/d of gas to IPC, have lost over N979million at the prevailing gas price of $2.5, in the last 24days as a result of shut in.
"Computing the cost of IPC supply disruption due to shut-down, across the classes of consumers namely, residential, small, large commercials and industrials consumers for 24consecutive days has the cost at N249,011,096,250.
"Equally, the most affected assets over the rift, includes the captive 191MW power plant, consisting two 38MW GE frames, along with on2 115MW GE 9E gas generator, the turbines and electricity generation equipment cost is estimated above N150,075,000,000.
"The lost 200mscf/d processing plant and the 62kilometer pipeline operated by Seven Uquo Gas Limited, which supplies gas to IPC, is put at N217,500,000,000 and N145,000,000,000 respectively; this is not including the investment on a 132KV transmission line evacuating power from the plant to Eket Sub-Station.
"To the same degree, the hi-cuff has occasioned on the relapsed on investment rate of return for the assets, at investors peril, similarly threatening the future investment into the country."
Udoh said indicators confirm that electricity consumers incur substantial economic costs due to supply outage, going by the economic concept establishing economic cost of an outage.
"Correspondently, the plant has along term purchase contract with Savannah Petroleum, a new majority stakeholder through acquisition of Seven Energy by the former, for supply of 45million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
"For 24 days since the plant was shutdown. The shut-in gas cost (between January 13 till February 5, 2020) at N979,406,250 per day. Hence, the operator, its Joint Venture partners, Savannah Petroleum losses N979.41million in revenue.
"At N31.58 delivery cost per kilowatt electricity to consumers. For a 191MW generating capacity of Ibom Power Plant, the economic cost/loss across the electricity business chain alone, along with 7.5percent Valued Added Tax for 24 days is N3.3billion."

For that which is solitary is barren.
Pearls are some of the most beautiful creations on this planet. While they are incredibly beautiful they are actually formed from one tiny imperfection and the mollusks ability to heal itself. This process produces one of the most sought after gems. Pearls come in just about every color, shape and size and have been prized in many cultures across the world in antiquity. They are the birth stone for those born in June and are also associated with the astrological sign Cancer. Those born under this sign are often called moon children. For the Water or Sea Witch, the pearl can be used in many ways from an offering to a talisman.
Pearls come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. Their usual colors range from cream to black but they can occur in almost every shade and color. Pearls are not limited to forming inside oysters. They can actually be made from any mollusk including the most amazing, highly prized and beautiful Conch Pearl! Pearls have been cultivated by man since the late 1800s and possibly even before. They have been highly prized as a symbol of wisdom and royalty since antiquity with the Romans and Egyptians prizing pearls above all other gems. In addition, the first use of pearl material was used as far back as 4200 B.C.E. Pearls are split into several different categories which include freshwater, and the very popular Akoya cultured pearls. While we are used to seeing the prized Akoya pearls as well as fresh water pearls, every type of mollusk can produce a pearl. In fact abalone, conch, and the bailer shell all produce beautiful and prized pearls. To learn more about the many different varieties of pearls click here.
Pearls are intimately connected to the moon in that not only do they resemble the moon in shape, luster and color but their feeding cycle is also effected by the moon and tidal cycles. As such, pearls have long been associated with the moon and therefore can be associated with Selene, Luna and any other goddess who embodies the full moon. They were also found in Aphrodite's temple and were considered sacred to her. The pearl has long been associated with moon magic and can be used as a representation of the moon, can be made into pearl essences and you can charge them with specific intent. You can give them as offerings to spirits, goddesses and the sea. They can be use in moon or wisdom magic and any magic associated with Cancer, the moon or crabs. I often give a pearl as an offering during my birthday as I am born in June. Finally the pearl can be used in transformation magic through sympathetic association to the prized gem created from a tiny flaw.
Pearls are versatile and can range in color, shape, size and even value. Some pearls such as fresh water pearls are very common and others like the pink conch pearl are extremely pricy and rare. Pearls can be used in many ways and for many reasons. They are most commonly associated with wisdom. You may have heard the quote "Pearls of Wisdom" before. They come in just about every color and so they can be selected for your magical purpose through color association. They can be found on strings or even still inside the oyster at popular sea side destinations. They are ritually opened in a small welcoming ceremony when the new owner taps them 3 times and yells "ALOHA!" to welcome it into the world. These are incredibly prized magically and can become a powerful tool for the water witch. They can be worn as jewelry and charged with protection, much like the intricate layers of the pearl. They can be used in moon magic and are sacred to Aphrodite and can be used in love magic as well. The pearl, like the moon presents endless possibilities!


New Delhi, Jan 9: In 2014, Narendra Modi had offered the people of India an alternative narrative. In an ambience of hopelessness, thanks to the previous UPA II government's tainted rule, it was easier for Modi and his machinery to erect an image of an alternative that could bring the country back on the tracks. The Congress's indecisiveness of pushing Rahul Gandhi as its own face hurt the Grand-Old Party even more. Modi was seen as a man who only symbolised development and caste identity never became an issue despite the leader himself originating from a OBC background. The "chaiwala" definitely set up the tone for the elections but it was more about a political arm-wrestling between Lutyens' Delhi and an outsider who it saw with derision.
In 2019, Modi's "Vikas Purus" image saw a twist when he announced 10 per cent reservation for the economically backward sections of the upper castes. After the thumping the BJP received in three states in the Hindi heartland last month and the growing dissent over the farmers' crises, it is not too surprising that the BJP top brass chose to go the reservation way for the economically backward (though it is not easy to define backwardness on such criterion) sections of the upper caste. The aim is clearly to consolidate the upper castes, the BJP's electoral trump card, when it is perceiving that the Dalits and other backward classes might not be too pleased with its government's functioning over the last almost five years.
Electorally, this could be a masterstroke by the BJP leadership to stay ahead of the Opposition for anti-Modi leaders will not gain much by opposing this reservation idea. Even if this new move doesn't materialise ahead of the Lok Sabha election since the time is limited, yet the BJP can tell its supporters that we tried and if it is elected again, it will continue to pursue the same.
But this move does Modi's image a damage. The leader had said during a foreign tour soon after coming to power in 2014 that a government should take its major moves as early as it can after taking charge and not leave it for the last days for that would only make its plan uncertain and look an election bait. In effect, Modi's 10-per cent reservation plan showed that he too did the same: Announce a plan so that it can earn him electoral returns.
'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' and 10% reservation: Can they co-exist?
Modi was seen as a man above caste and reservations. He has been projected and hailed as one who prioritises development and universal uplift. To see such a leader surrendering to the idea of reservation ahead of seeking a fresh mandate (even if not religious, a reservation is a reservation) which betrays the public image of the prime minister. Modi aligned himself with the idea of reservation as his term clawed towards its conclusion. In August last year, he said in an interview that caste-based reservation will stay in India since the goals of BR Ambedkar have still remained unfulfilled.
For a leader who repeatedly stresses on universal development and preaches inclusive slogan like "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas", calling for a 10-per cent reservation looks a bit unfitting.
However, for all political leaders, it is winning the election that ultimately matters.


In the age of technology, Irish families are craving the simpler pleasures. At least that's what Airbnb's latest research would suggest.
The worldwide accomodations leader rounded up its ten most popular family-friendly homes for Irish users and saw a definite trend towards getting away from it all and returning to nature.
Interestingly, out of three million listings internationally, the most wish-listed properties for Irish families were ALL in Ireland, indicating that many are favouring staycations rather than foreign getaways.
With an appetite for plugging out, Irish airbnb users have avoided the high-tech properties, choosing instead properties nestled in stunning natural locations with roaring home fires - some even without TV and internet.
Looking for something different, many of the properties are of a unique architectural appeal and include a Modern Eco House, an 18th Century Thatched Mill Cottage, a 200 year old estate house , a 200 year old estate house and a specially designed assemblage of historic farm buildings and contemporary structures designed by Irish architect Robin Walker -– a rare family holiday retreat.
Value emerged as a top priority for holidaymakers, with the most expensive property on the list, Monlea Barn & Farmhouse, coming in at €340 per night for up to 16 guests.
James McClure, General Manager of Northern Europe for Airbnb, comments, "Airbnb offers family holidays that can transform and enrich kids' lives and we encourage families to expand their horizons, even if that's simply by 'Wishlisting' their favourite travel fantasies.
200 year old boutique countryhouse set on 10 acres of land overlooking one of Ireland's best surf breaks. Have a relaxing evening by the open fireplace, a glass of wine in the private bar or a game of pool.
Set in gorgeous countryside overlooking Lough Corrib and the Connemara mountains, this modern eco house has all the contemporary features you could want. Just 15 mins from Oughterard, if you want to get away from it all, this is the perfect retreat.
This charming cottage has been sympathetically refurbished and restored to recreate old world charm, with a modern twist. The house is surrounded by lovely gardens nurtured by the previous and present owners and resulting in a peaceful and visually stunning landscape.
This restored cottage is a cosy retreat perfect for two or a small family. If you love amazing views of the sea in front and the peace and quiet of the countryside, then this place is for you.
Bothar Bui is nestled on a secluded hillside overlooking Kenmare Bay on the Beara peninsula in the heart of Ireland's scenic South West.
Designed by renowned Irish architect Robin Walker, this unique modernist assemblage of historic farm buildings and contemporary structures works as a rare family holiday retreat.
This warm and welcoming cottage boasts an original inglenook fireplace with solid fuel burning stove and exposed stone. The walls are at least one meter thick and the cottage predates the Irish famine.
Overlooking the majestic Atlantic, this cottage is situated on the Ring of Kerry, and can be your private haven in the South West . A romantic getaway for 2 or a perfect spot for larger groups and families.
This apartment is a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home separated from the owner's house, around a courtyard near the Phoenix Park - home to Dublin Zoo and also home to Cricket, Polo, and a great park to rent bikes and meander around.

Immigrants: a benefit or a burden?
As the Raleigh begins tackling legislation that addresses what some Republicans think are immigration issues, the latest Elon University Poll might give legislators some information that helps them determine the best course for the state.
More than 80 percent of respondents said they support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants currently living in the U.S. as long as they pass a background check and pay any fines and taxes. Only 17 percent opposed it.
Related, 51 percent of respondents said that immigrants were a benefit to N.C. because of their hard work and job skills. Thirty-eight percent chose the statement that immigrants were a burden to North Carolina because of their use of public services.
As with most things these days, Democrats and Republicans are diametrically opposed. Sixty-eight percent of Democrats see immigrants as a benefit; 33 percent of Republicans see them as a burden.
There is no split by gender, but when ages of respondents are pulled out, younger adults see immigrants as more of a benefit than older adults.
Right now, the McCrory administration plans to issue specially marked drivers licenses to some illegal immigrants prevent the bearer from accessing government services or registering to vote.
It's unclear exactly what other actions on immigration issues might be coming in Raleigh.
Coincidentally, one news article published today quotes a new book by former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush. "In 'Immigration Wars: Forging an American Solution,' Bush writes that the immigration debate holds serious consequences for the nation and members of his Republican party, calling fellow Republicans "remarkably tone-deaf when it comes to courting Hispanic voters — to the extent they court them at all." If the GOP fails to change, he says the influence of Hispanic voters "will doom" the party's future.

Ranking the top 5 moments from "Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists" season 1 episode 1: A Solid Series Premiere
"Welcome to Beacon Heights University, where excellence is not an option…it's a requirement." After watching Freeform's Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists season 1 episode 1, I remembered why I fell in love with Pretty Little Liars in the first place. It's hard for a spin-off to gives fans that sense of nostalgia, while still creating a unique voice of its own, but I have already been hooked after the first episode and I can't wait to see the new mystery unfold. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night's "Pilot" episode, Alison DiLaurentis gets a fresh start and takes on a TA position at Beacon Heights University, but is quickly reunited with our favorite troublemaker, Mona Vanderwaal. Meanwhile, we meet several of Alison's new students who may wind up being the prime suspects in a new murder and Alison's presence here reminds us that nothing is ever a coincidence for a Pretty Little Liar alum. My top 5 moments from Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists season 1 episode 1 are:
"We are and then we're not."
After Alison comes to town and is reunited with Mona, it looks like both of our favorite characters from Pretty Little Liars are in desperate need of a fresh start. We learn the fate of Alison and Emily's relationship, as Alison explains that Emily had trouble getting over the past. Does that mean that Alison and Emily will never get back together? Not necessarily, as they are tied together by a family, but it looks like this relationship has been put on pause for now. Alison wants to leave the mean girl behind her and truly wants to help her students and make a difference, but wherever Alison goes, drama is never too far behind.
"Is it OK to murder a murderer?"
An interesting question for sure and I have to say that I was actually really digging Alison's lecture. Can I sign up for her class? As Alison gets to know her new students, she asks them to participate in a discussion on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, which is actually quite fitting if you think about it. We are introduced to several new characters and quickly learn that everyone is a suspect and that appearances can be very deceiving. No one really stood out to me just yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing their characters explored further as the series continues.
"Try and stay away from him."
Perhaps the most disliked new character is Nolan Hotchkiss, who seems to be the resident bad boy on campus. Alison notices that Nolan is a lot like how she used to be, using manipulation and blackmail to get what he wants, but there also seems to be a lot of complicated drama with his family as well. We learn that his sister, Taylor, apparently committed suicide about a year ago and that Nolan's mother, Claire, played by the amazing Kelly Rutherford, seems interested in Alison because she reminds her of her daughter. Mona says that by her calculations, Nolan could be dangerous, but can we really trust Mona here? What other connections does Alison have to the Hotchkiss family? I'm not sure, but I'm already intrigued enough to find out more. I'm loving this setup so far!
"I know a little bit about manipulation."
Maybe way more than a little bit, Alison, but it appears that you have truly changed, but the past has a way of dragging you backwards sometimes. We soon learn that Taylor is actually alive, as Nolan goes to visit her secretly. So why did she fake her own death and what is the bigger play here? There seems to be quite an emphasis on the advanced security system on campus, so have the Hotchkiss siblings uncovered something behind that or is there another mystery yet to be revealed? Alison also finds a picture of Taylor and the resemblance is striking, so is it possible that Alison could be related to Taylor? Toward the end of the episode, Alison uncovers a message behind the wallpaper in Taylor's old room that says, "They're Watching," which furthers my theory on the security issue, but there is still a lot to uncover here.
"There are no coincidences."
Alison recognizes that there are definitely no coincidences. After all, she comes from Rosewood. Alison asks Mona why she is here, but it looks like this all needs to be put on hold, as we find out that Nolan has been brutally murdered at the end of the episode. Nolan is found impaled on a fence, as everyone gathers around in horror. All of his friends quickly become suspects and so our murder mystery begins. However, we are left with another cliffhanger at the end, as Mona starts talking to herself and asking if this was her fault and has someone in her ear piece. Is Mona actually working for the FBI or some kind of secret agency? I mean, we know that Mona is extremely intelligent and qualified so perhaps her recruiter position is just a cover.
Either way, I am already completely hooked and I can't wait to find out what happens next. The spin-off series premiere really gave Pretty Little Liar fans exactly what they needed, but I am really enjoying the college campus change of scenery and I think this will give Alison and Mona the chance to shine, while introducing us to some new faces who may surprise us. Stay tuned!

Ranking the top 5 moments from "Riverdale" season 3 episode 16: "BIG FUN"
Happy Thursday TV fans! After watching the CW's Riverdale season 3 episode 16, I remembered why I love Riverdale so much. It's not always easy to do a musical episode, even though some shows have done an amazing job in the past, but Riverdale continues to provide us with the "BIG FUN" for sure. It doesn't feel forced or out of place, it just works and it gives us some great entertainment along the way, while continuing to further the plot. Please note spoilers are ahead if you have not gotten a chance to watch yet. In last night's episode, "Chapter Fifty-One: BIG FUN," our characters participate in the Heathers musical, but are in for a surprise when Evelyn Evernever is announced as the co-director of the play. Meanwhile, Veronica's family begins to fall apart, Toni and Cheryl have a dance-off filled with attitude, and Jughead tries to follow up on a lead that could tie back to his mother. My top 5 moments from Riverdale season 3 episode 16 are:
"Let's fight for us."
Even though we have a fabulous musical going on, the drama continues between some of our favorite couples. The cat is out of the bag, thanks to Evelyn's obnoxious share time circle, and everyone now knows about Archie and Josie. Veronica takes the news surprisingly well, but she is distracted with her own issues at home. Is Archosie just "two lonely souls filling a void" or is there something more here? Archie suggests that they take that leap of faith together and find out who they are as a couple. Even though Josie is hesitant at first, it looks like Archosie is still going strong for now.
"You make me feel better."
During the episode, Veronica finds out that her parents are separating and she is devastated by the news. Even though the Lodge family is far from perfect, Veronica insists that they can all work together as a family, but Hiram coldly tells her that he knows about Hermione trying to have him killed and tells her that they are not a family anymore. Veroncia requests that they show up one final time together at the musical so she can try and hold on to some kind of happy memory, which they agree to for their daughter's sake, but Hiram is not someone you want to cross. Now that he knows that his wife has betrayed him, what will be his next move? Meanwhile, Veronica runs back into the arms of Reggie during all of this, desperately trying to feel something, but she realizes that Reggie has stronger feelings for her and that maybe this wasn't the best decision, even though Veggie fans are rooting for them. Are they end game? I'm not so sure about that, but Reggie thinks that they should cool it for a while until Veronica can figure out what she wants.
"You let it go."
Jughead finds out that his old trailer could be potentially used to make drugs and he is beyond upset. Jughead still clings to many memories here, but he also wants to stop his mother's drug operation. Betty gives him some advice and explains that he can just let it go, but it looks like Betty is starting a trend of burning things to the ground. Even though burning the trailer brings Bughead closer, I am worried that Betty's darkness has re-surfaced, but will she take this rage out on the Farm or on someone she loves?
"Maybe it's not too late for us."
While everyone practices for the musical, Cheryl shows off that she is the ultimate HBIC or the "demon queen of high school," as if she were made for the role of Heather Chandler. However, Cheryl is less than thrilled when Kevin announces that Toni will be the choreographer. Toni and Cheryl continue to clash during a dance-off and the tension escalates when Toni wears a red ensemble, as Cheryl reminds her that "I am red…here, I invented red." The bitch is back and I wasn't really liking it, as Cheryl has come so far with the help of Toni. Fear not Choni fans, Toni gives Cheryl an olive branch of sorts and the two finally talk about their fight, suggesting that it is not too late for them after all. Cheryl is used to an "all or nothing" approach to love, but Toni tries to remind her that this is not always the way. Our favorite couple is reunited and they even share a kiss, having Choni fans cheering everywhere.
"I knew my dad would like it."
Evelyn has been announced as the co-director of the play, which Betty is not thrilled about at all, recognizing an ulterior motive here. Betty puts her spy skills to the test and finds out that Evelyn has been inducting some of her classmates into the Farm, but Principal Weatherbee seems unconvinced by Betty's evidence, suggesting that perhaps he is also caught up with the Farm. At the end of the musical, a slow clap begins, as Edgar Evernever, played by One Tree Hill's Chad Michael Murray, stands up. Others follow his lead, suggesting that the Farm is everywhere, but will Betty and Jughead be able to get to the bottom of this now that Edgar is out in the open? Stay tuned!

On May 9, global retail giant Wal-Mart acquired a 77% stake in India's e-commerce major Flipkart for $16bn. This represents the largest ever e-commerce merger and acquisition deal in India, and it will enable Wal-Mart to take on Amazon's dominance in the country's online retail market.
The deal is a two-part affair entailing an equity infusion of $2bn in Flipkart and the purchase of the stakes of shareholders such as Softbank, Naspers, Ebay, Accel Partners, Tiger Global and Tencent, as well as the holding of a founding partner, Sachin Bansal. Google's Alphabet is also expected to invest $1.5bn in the venture.
The deal is the most determined bid by Wal-Mart to secure a footprint in India's booming online retail market. Currently this is pegged at $15bn – a small fraction of India's total retail market of $650bn – but there is room to grow. Wal-Mart's ambitions to enter multi-brand retail in India through a tie-up with Bharti in 2007 did not work out.

As with its ill-fated bricks-and-mortar foray, Wal-Mart's entry into e-commerce has triggered a growing groundswell of opposition, as it claimed it will threaten the livelihood of millions of 'mom and pop' convenience stores. The Confederation of All-India Traders (CAIT) feels that this acquisition will encourage predatory pricing and malpractices, and that this should not be allowed until the government comes out with a proper e-commerce policy.
"It is unfortunate that even after having a clear FDI policy, multinational companies are finding an escape route, whether it is retail or e-commerce," said Praveen Khandelwal, the secretary-general of CAIT, as reported in the Business Standard.

In the beginning, God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then, using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's and Krispy Kreme.
And Satan brought forth deep-fried coconut shrimp butter-dipped lobster chunks, and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter.
Then Satan peeled off the healthful skin, sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt, all to be washed down with artificially flavored sodas over sweetened with huge amounts of high-fructose corn syrup.
And Man packed on more pounds.
And Satan introduced cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels.
And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretchy Lycra jogging suits as they sat on the couch all evening.

It doesn't take long to discover that Belize is a land of contrasts. From the poverty and disarray of the cities to the quiet countryside, many differences are soon found. With poverty and crime running rampant in cities such as Belize City and Belmopan, the traveler has to be constantly aware of his surroundings and protect whatever is being carried. Remember,that camera hanging around your neck is worth more than the average Belizean earns in a year. All that aside, the Mayan people are wonderfully warm people many of whom go out of their way to please visitors. Traveling into the countryside one discovers thatch roof homes with no doors or windows. Because of the warm climate , they can live comfortably all year with a gentle breeze flowing through the open windows and doors.
Human nature dictates that we continually want what we don't have. No sooner do we achieve our goals and attain that which we sought than we start a new quest for a new challenge.
This is perfectly normal and as a result of this , humankind has achieved much. In spite of this, one needs to keep it all in perspective.We must remember that happiness cannot be found by only yearning for new desires.
If this is true, then how do we maintain a balance between wanting something new in our life and being content with what we have? Luckily there is a way to maintain a balance. It involves changing our focus from thinking continiously about what we want and don't have to what we already have and being thankful for our blessings.
Think of others constantly and count your blessing everyday, if not every moment. Take a deep breath and remember what is important in life. One needs to remember, you are experiencing what you are in this life for a reason, although it may not be obvious and you don't have a clue as to why you are enduring whatever challenge is coming your way, it all is for the betterment of your soul. Sooner or later the answer will come and the issue will be absolved.
By maintaining a positive attitude and traveling constantly in the direction you would like your life to progress, sooner or later the challenge will subside and you will begin to experience more of your life's desires.
By keeping one foot in the reality of life, living in the present, and remembering what you are thankful for, and appreciate what you have, you will be able to still satisfy your need for change and improvement in your life, not only in the material but spiritual elements as well.

The Accelerator Programme
Climate change for UK arts and culture
By Megan Ward on	 August 29, 2019 &nbspAnalysis	Arts, News
Arts Council (ACE) and Julie's Bicycle have announced the first cohort for their Accelerator Programme, a new strand of work that will discuss perspectives on climate change and the environment.
Until September 2020, successful organisations will receive support through tailored mentoring, personalised one-to-one support as well as a training programme adapted from Julie's Bicycle's Creative Climate Leadership course.
Francis Runacres, executive director of Enterprise and Innovation at ACE, said: "At the Arts Council we are committed to helping arts and cultural organisations embrace environmental sustainability and reduce their carbon footprint. I'm proud of all we have achieved since beginning our work with Julie's Bicycle, but there is always more to be done. We know that the sector has the ambition, energy and creative thinking to develop more innovative approaches to sustainability, and this programme is designed to help shape those ambitions into concrete plans."
The programme will support arts and cultural organisations to develop innovative approaches to their environmental practices and explore new sustainable models such as developing products from festival waste and developing roadmaps on city-wide carbon reduction.
Some of the organisations and groups that are in the first cohort are, Norwich Theatre Royal, Sadler's Wells, Young Vic, Lyric Hammersmith, Philharmonia Orchestra, Manchester Arts Sustainability Team and London Theatre Consortium. HOME and Opera North have also been brought onboard to help collaborate with organisations in the cohort whose projects share similar aims.
Funded by ACE, the programme provides space, resources, time and expertise that will aid the organisations ideas.
Alison Tickell, director of Julie's Bicycle, said: "The Accelerator Programme is so important. The 2018-20 participating organisations – an extraordinary gathering of talent – show the ambition and commitment to tackling environmental issues across the creative sector. This particular combination of creativity, values and imaginative reach will unlock ideas that will, I am sure, impact far beyond the programme."
Julie's Bicycle and ACE have been working together for over a decade to bring awareness to organisations about their energy consumption.

The challenges of privacy engineering in a big data economy
By Yangcheng Huang 25 August 2021
Share on LinkedIn Share on Twitter
Despite having only come to the fore in recent years, the field of privacy engineering is rapidly evolving to meet the rising demands and plethora of complex challenges presented by the big data economy. Privacy engineering is not only becoming integral to data-driven businesses because of regulatory demands and hyper-automation strategies, it is also a discipline that leads to enhanced products, increased consumer trust and bottom-line growth.
What is privacy engineering?
Privacy engineering, while still an emerging field, is a technical discipline that uses engineering principles and processes to bake privacy into the core of system infrastructures, products and business operations to ensure that privacy requirements are properly met. Beyond a sophisticated technical understanding of implementation, privacy engineering also demands a deep knowledge of commercial and legal considerations to ensure that privacy requirements translate into technical requirements that satisfy business needs.
What challenges does big data pose to privacy engineering?
In today's digital world, the exponential growth of data that is being harnessed and stored is moving at such a rate that it is now beyond the human capability to effectively process and protect privacy without the assistance of new technologies.
The 4 V's of big data create a number of privacy engineering challenges, and the sheer volume of data is just one aspect. Advancements in technology mean that data now comes from a variety of sources and in different forms – structured, semi-structured and unstructured. This volume and variety of data also leads to data veracity issues, whereby questions surrounding the accuracy and trustworthiness of data come to the fore. Finally, the velocity of data now impacts businesses – data ingestion, processing, storing and retrieval all have to be accounted for if insights are to be turned into actionable growth and innovation strategies, while preserving privacy.
What privacy challenges are at play?
In addition to the 4V's of big data contributing to the myriad of privacy concerns, the changing dynamics of the digital world have also surfaced a number of other privacy challenges that are placing increasing pressures on businesses to adapt and evolve processes and strategies. And this makes privacy engineering all the more complex.
Increasing demands for protection, transparency and accountability have led to new privacy laws being introduced around the world. These laws – such as GDPR, LGPD, CCPA, CPA, CPRA, PIPL – create challenges for both businesses and privacy engineers alike. From a privacy engineering perspective, solutions need to be mapped out to satisfy the highest global regulatory standards while simultaneously anticipating the emergence of future regulations and offering an agile framework that enables businesses to work with data at speed and at a scale.
In addition to this, existing IT structures are not built on the principles of privacy-by-design, which means that privacy is – more often than not – being treated as a bolt-on to existing systems rather than plugged in as an integral component. If business and system infrastructures are not designed with privacy at the foundational core, they will be unable to adapt to future privacy and data regulations or provide the now-necessary, auditable trail of compliance. As such, privacy engineers are under pressure to establish technical frameworks where privacy controls can be implemented in any existing or new system.
On top of this, with commercial strategies now heavily reliant on data, privacy engineering is also under pressure to go beyond the preservation of privacy and enable more accurate and more targeted analytics to be delivered in a market that is building and innovating based on insights, hyper-personalization strategies and more.
The trillion-calculation complexities
Beyond the aforementioned data and privacy challenges, one key area of focus that makes privacy engineering all the more intricate is the complexity of calculations that need to be handled in order to preserve privacy while maximizing data utility.
One real-world example to gauge this complexity is geo-mapping. To conduct privacy-preserving geo-mapping, privacy engineers are tasked with mapping the GPS information of millions of people to millions of zip codes, while removing all sensitive information so that no personal details are ever exposed. For example, we may have 1.7 million zip codes, so in order to do this mapping, we have to search for each piece of GPS information amongst 1.7 million zip codes. This creates just one of many trillion calculation problems that need to be handled.
Another real-world example, which we solve through Trūata Calibrate, is a data combination problem when conducting risk assessments. For example, we may have a dataset with one hundred columns containing 100 million rows of data. In this case, a risk assessment may need to be conducted on any combination of columns; it could be one, two, three or even 100 columns. This leads to trillions of trillions of calculations ( ) that potentially need to be performed, and those calculations are applied to up to 100 millions rows of data.
To put this in context, for a 50-column dataset that would be considered "narrow" by today's standards, there are more possible combination of columns than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy. It is this level of calculation complexity that privacy engineering teams now face when delivering solutions for data-centric businesses.
The scale of the data calculations requires privacy operations to be scaled. Ultimately, if you cannot measure the privacy risk in datasets of such size, then you certainly cannot protect that data.
How can privacy engineering solve these big data challenges?
By following best practice principles and design patterns, privacy engineering can ensure scalable results in a cost-effective way through the creation of highly efficient privacy-enhancing technologies. You can dive into the technical drilldown via our Big Data Privacy Engineering on-demand webinar, but here are three key takeaways for privacy engineering in the big data economy…
Look towards declarative privacy design. Compared to imperative privacy design, declarative privacy design is primarily focused on providing privacy-enhancing technology systems with the 'what' rather than the 'how'. This is to say that declarative privacy design concentrates on privacy requirements, describing the desired anonymization results or privacy outcomes under certain conditions without explicitly listing data operations or steps that must be taken. Whereas with imperative privacy design, there is a need to define which privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) or algorithms must be used or applied, how they should be configured and deployed and what processes must be applied to data to protect its privacy. With declarative privacy design, the detailed data operations are separated from the desired privacy results, which are instead composed dynamically and based on the current context to fulfil privacy requirements; therefore, the PETs system applies the most suitable operations. One key benefit that results from declarative privacy design is that it is a low-code or no-code approach, which lays the foundations for a plug-and-play implementation and ensures that new pipelines can be composed to handle emerging privacy requirements rather than having to continuously add new privacy-enhancing technologies to support them.
Introduce a privacy abstraction layer to unify data operations. For example, tokenization can be decomposed into a number of generic data frame operations, which enables privacy-enhancing technologies to provide a single and consistent data abstraction layer (DAL). This layer allows for the use of standard APIs to enable platforms to run on different big data engines, therefore facilitating interoperability and more robust privacy operations.
Evolve to a big data tech stack by focusing on multi-cloud design challenges. For best practice, it is important to use a common computing platform across different cloud environments and common platform libraries. It is also good practice to use factory design patterns to handle different key vaults, I/Os, loggings and environment configurations. By focusing on multi-cloud design, privacy-enhancing technologies are able to move from one cloud to another with minimum changes required on the core platform side.

The Horner family - photographers in Settle
Michael J. Slater
North Craven
The story of the several Horner family members who were prominent in photography in Settle deserves recording in detail. Edward (Eddie) Horner started his career in 1905 when he was 15 years old so it is appropriate to review what we know one hundred years later, in 2005. It was Michael Horner and Joseph Jackson, discoverers of Victoria Cave in 1837 where the story really starts and I am indebted to Tom Lord for carefully researched information on these two men and for stereoscopic photographs made by the second Michael Horner, nephew of the cave discoverer. Bill Mitchell is to be thanked for his efforts in recording many of the technical details of taking photographs in the early days, and in telling some of the amusing tales from Eddie associated with his customers. These are to be found in an article in the Dalesman Magazine in 1955 (vol.17, 82-4) which resulted from his own interest in cameras and the artistic side of photography. In addition Bill Mitchell organized a series of local studies meetings in the 1980s in which local people contributed information and their recollections which were tape recorded (now converted to CD mp3 format for preservation). One of the sessions concerned photography. Ken and Jean Jelley who now own the Horner negatives as a result of buying the business in Settle in 1961 suggested that Rachel Cundall, daughter of Eddie Horner, be contacted to ensure that the historical record was correct. Ken and Jean Jelley, Tom Lord, John Walker, Ken Hill and Rachel Cundall have been most helpful and generous with supplying information and pictures. It is from these various sources that this article was prepared with checks made on the 1844 Tithe Apportionment details, the 1851, 1871, 1881 and 1901 census returns and various trade directories.
The first crude photograph was made by Niepce in France in 1826 and better pictures were shown by Daguerre and William Henry Fox Talbot in 1839. The 1851 census shows 51 photographers at work in England and by the 1861 census there were well over 2000 professionals. A fashion developed in the following decades for family photograph albums with the stylized poses known to us all.
It could be said that in Settle it was Michael Horner (born 1813 in Feizor, died 1878, gravestone in Settle Parish Church) who played an important part in local photography. There is some confusion in the stories (Palmer, 1951; Brown, 1908) about the discovery of Victoria Cave first made by Michael in 1837 but the accompanying article by Tom Lord sets the record straight. At this time Michael lived in Langcliffe and was employed by Joseph Jackson a local plumber (1816-1886). Michael told Joseph Jackson about the cave and Joseph took the first photographs of the cave and the artefacts discovered in excavation (as an amateur, not a professional photographer or archaeologist). White's Directory of 1837 states that Joseph Jackson was a plumber and glazier on Back Lane (now Castle Hill). The 1844 Tithe Apportionment shows that Jackson was the occupier of a plumbing shop and garden situated somewhere behind The Old Brew House. In the 1851 census he is described as 34, married, plumber and glazier, born in Melling near Lancaster. His wife Maria was born in Settle, son George and daughter Eleanor were born in Settle, and he had an apprentice William Henry Simpson age 16 born in Leeds. The 1881 census shows him retired and living on Castle Hill. He was buried in Settle Parish Churchyard. A thorough account of this remarkable man has been made by Tom Lord (1997).
In the 1844 Tithe Apportionment Michael (and Thomas Horner thought to be his brother since both were baptized in Clapham) is an occupier of the Town Hall and Offices along with others. The 1851 census shows that Michael is the head of household, aged 38, a tinner from Feizor. His wife Ellen age 28 was from Newhouses, with daughters Mary and Jane and baby twins Margaret and Elizabeth born in Settle. The Post Office Trade Directories of 1857 show that Michael was a tinplate worker and musical instrument maker with premises situated in the Market Place. The Horners occupied the north-west corner of the Town Hall building as seen in a photograph (courtesy J. Walker) with a sign outside showing a trumpet and another instrument, with Michael Horner standing at the corner. Thomas Horner was a painter and paper-hanger also with a shop in the Market Place.
Also taking photographs in the 1850s was John Boardley born 1827, stated in the 1851 census to be a painter. In a later advertisement he was also a photographer. Some of his photographs are in the care of The Folly Museum, Settle and an album of his work is in private hands. John was a Quaker living first in Upper Settle then Townhead, then Kirkgate. The 1901 census indicates that (as John Bordley) he was still working at the age of 74 as a painter and decorator in Settle.
Michael Horner the cave discoverer had a nephew (brother Thomas' son) also named Michael (1843-1869) who presumably was influenced by the photographic interests of Joseph Jackson and perhaps Boardley. In an advertisement in the Settle Chronicle of August 1864 Michael Horner, Junior, Photographer, 'has commenced the business at his father's address, Market Place Settle.' 'Michael Horner having spent four months in one of the leading Photographic Studios in Manchester...' His father Thomas was advertising his painting, gilding and glazing business at the same time. Although the Manchester Photographic Society was founded in 1855 the science was so new and evolving at such a pace that formal training was unlikely to have been available. There were many advertisements in the Settle Chronicle in the 1860s showing that Michael in 1865 'has now received a very complete set of first-rate accessories to his Gallery...' and that stereoscopic and card views of many local places were available at one shilling (5p) each. Tom Lord has five stereoscopic photographs of the places named, printed on the back 'Photographed by M. Horner, and sold by Wildman and Son, Settle.' Michael took a stereoscopic view of Gordale which is extant with the Horner family. Unfortunately a photograph taken in about 1880 of W.T.Walker (born 1879) in his pram outside Ribble Terrace is also labelled M. Horner on the card mount so the imprint is not certain proof of the date of any particular photograph. Sadly, a photograph of Michael himself has not yet been found.
In 1864 (Settle Chronicle) William Pumphrey of York was offering views of Settle and district for sale through Wildman and in 1865 Wildman was advertising photographic views made by various photographers including Horner.
The 1867 directories (PO and Kelly) show Michael as a photographer and T(homas) and J(ames) Horner (who were his brothers) as painters and house decorators, all in the Market Place.
The clearest pictures of the shop on the north side of the Market Place, next door on the east side of what is now the NatWest Bank, are in The Ancient Parish of Giggleswick book of photographs (1975). The pictures were taken just before and just after 1898 when the Shambles were altered. The photographic business and painting and decorating business was carried out in the same premises and the family lived there. A photograph thought to be taken at the time of the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee of 1897 (courtesy K. Hill) shows a paper-hanging, painting and decorating shop on the east side of the Market Square (occupied by William(?) Horner) as well as the tinsmith shop in the Town Hall now in the ownership of Mr Morphet.
The development of plates by the wet chemical method involved noxious chemicals used in the confines of a small tent on a tripod and it is possibly as a result of ingestion of fumes that Michael died so early at the age of 26 (in 1869, gravestone in Settle Parish Churchyard) although the official reason was phthisis (consumption) suffered for the previous two years. A last advertisement appeared in Wildman's Household Almanack of 1869 offering a wide range of products.
Michael's brothers James (born 1849) and Anthony (1853-1923) are described as photographers in the 1871 census. Anthony was only 16 when he took over the business from his brother Michael in 1869 with little experience but succeeded, using a hand cart to transport the heavy equipment using glass plates up to 10 by 8 inches in size. Anthony married Elizabeth Ann Holmes of Bentham (1865-1948). She was a Quaker and Anthony became one too. The PO Directory of 1877 noted Anthony as photographer in the Market Place, as well as uncle Michael the tinplate worker and brother Thomas the painter, paper-hanger, sign writer and general decorator.
The 1881 census shows Anthony and Thomas Horner located in the Market Place. In 1898 Anthony moved the business to New Street, now Station Rd., Settle to a new studio (the shop at no. 7); all the family moved there too. (A photograph of the shop can be seen in the Royal Oak, Settle). There was a studio roof-light with wire rails for curtains. Anthony made excellent portraits and family group photographs. Many of Anthony's pictures are extant (collections in the Folly Museum and in the North Craven Historical Research Group archive, courtesy of Tom Lord). Anthony and Elizabeth were living in Settle at the time of the 1901 census. The gravestones of both are in the Settle Quaker burial ground.
Edward Holmes Horner was Anthony's son (1890-1960). His picture ("Little Eddie") is seen in The Horner Collection (1989). He joined his father in 1905 on a seven year apprenticeship and in due course married Winifred Doris Birchall from Doncaster; their joint gravestone is in the Quaker ground also. He carried on the business for 55 years with the same excellence as achieved by Anthony. He operated the gas-fired (!) lantern used by Frederic Riley during his lectures. Eddie took the photographs in the books of Phyllis Bentley and Marie Hartley who were friends of the family. He also took the Giggleswick School group photographs for many years and some cover photographs for the Dalesman magazine (see April and June 1939, and October 1949 for a picture of 'Old Mick'). He was particularly known for his photographs of weddings, family portraits and prize cattle over a very wide area of the Dales, as well as his local views and pothole pictures. When Eddie died in 1960 Bill Mitchell took wedding photographs for a while until Geoffrey Willey took on the business. In 1961 Mr and Mrs Jelley bought the business and preserved a large collection of glass plates taken by the Horners. The interest in photography still runs in the Horner family and their influence has been widespread. Eddie's son Michael Birchall Horner emigrated to Canada in 1956 and after a career in industry he took up photography and gained recognition in the city of Cambridge, Ontario. One of his pictures was selected to represent his local community at the 1988 Winter Olympics held in Calgary.

Helicopter Parents: The Real Reason British Teenagers Are So Unhappy
Children growing up in the UK are said to be some of the unhappiest in the industrialised world. What's caused this? Social media? Partially. But the biggest problem is helicopter parenting. Children have become 'tame'.
Children growing up in the UK are said to be some of the unhappiest in the industrialised world. The UK now has the highest rates of self-harm in Europe. And the NSPCC's ChildLine Annual Review lists it as one of the top reasons why children contact the charity.
Children's mental health has become one of British society's most pressing issues. A recent report from the Prince's Trust highlights how increasing numbers of children and young people are unhappy with their lives, sometimes with tragic consequences.
This is a generation of young people that has been labelled as "snowflakes" – unable to handle stress and more prone to taking offence. They are also said to have less psychological resilience than previous generations. And are thought to be too emotionally vulnerable to cope with views that challenge their own.
Social media likely plays a part in all this. Studies show nearly three-quarters of 12 to 15-year-olds in the UK have a social media profile and spend an average of 19 hours a week online. After all, this is the Facebook generation – and never before have children grown up with such a daily bombardment of images, products, and messages.
But there is also another factor at play – a factor much closer to home. In our new book Taming Childhood? we put forward the argument that children and young people may indeed have less resilience than previous generations, but argue this is because they have fewer opportunities to develop it. The reason for this is that childhood has become tame.
The 'dangers' of childhood
Childhood these days is often seen by parents to be fraught with danger. Not only are there issues with where children can play, who they can talk to and what they should and shouldn't be doing, but the internet has opened up a whole new set of problems that parents must try and police.
Children's lives are being stifled. No longer are children able to spend time with friends unsupervised, explore their community or hang around in groups without being viewed with suspicion. Very little unsupervised play and activity occurs for children in public spaces or even in homes – and a children's spare time is often eaten up by homework or organised activity.
This is further impacted by the way children are taught in schools and how the pressure to succeed has led to a taming of education. But if children are never challenged, if they don't ever experience adversity, or face risks then it is not surprising they will lack resilience.
This is not the consequence of one particular change or development, nor is it purposeful. In many ways, the stifling of children's experiences is often wrapped up in ideas about what is best for children, or what it means to be a good parent.
This can be seen in approaches to safeguarding which seek to remove all risks from children's lives. Or in approaches to parenting where adults take over decision making and restrict what children can do. This ultimately means children have fewer opportunities to engage, explore, and challenge their world.
Ideas about good parenting, which emphasise knowing where children are and keeping them safe, combined with contemporary ideas that view children as naturally vulnerable also fails to recognise their ability to cope with situations which we, as adults, deem to be complex.
This all comes against a backdrop of increasing concern for children's well-being. But what adults see as important for a child's well-being and what children themselves see as being important may not be the same.
Competitive parenting
Children are very often seen in terms of what they will become, rather than what they are. This has led to a rise in an intensive type of parenting – often referred to as "helicopter parenting". Studies have reported that well-being is reduced in children who experience helicopter parenting.
It may well be that the competitive nature of contemporary society contributes to parents dominating their children's lives – for reasons that are rational to them. But in doing so they act against the long-term interests of their children.
The idea that children should not encounter risk and should be protected from everyday adversity means that parents restrict where children can go, and what they can do – especially when unsupervised. This leads to a childhood that for many children, is characterised by supervision, surveillance and a lack of any real challenges.
So rather than this being an issue with young people, this is an issue with society and parenting. What is clear then is that parents need to be supported rather than judged so they can feel confident in giving some level of decision making and freedom to their children. Children also must be also viewed more as valuable to communities – so that a playground of unsupervised children is commonplace again. Education also needs a rethink, so that children are not under constant pressure but are enabled to be independent and resilient beings once more.

Himley Hall and grounds will be transformed with winter lights
HIMLEY Hall will be transformed into a winter wonderland this December.
Winter Lights comes to the beauty spot from Friday, December 13 to Sunday, December 15 and will see the woodland around the hall illuminated with lights.
Trails will be lit up for walkers to explore, with the light design inspired by the natural beauty of the winter landscape.
Zoe Worth, from Countryside Events who are helping to organise the spectacular, said: "Created to display the natural beauty of the winter landscape, the event will be a kaleidoscope of colour to brighten the darkest season of the year.
"Famous landscape designer Lancelot 'Capability' Brown planned the parkland in the 18th century. Never in his dreams, could he have imagined such as event as this."
Windows of the hall will also be decorated and illuminated with an Advent theme as the centre piece of the display, with designs being made by pupils from 30 schools around the borough.
The event runs from 5pm to 9pm on all three days, with last admission at 8pm.

The default mode is single-primary. It is not possible to have members of the group deployed in different modes, for example one configured in multi-primary mode while another one is in single-primary mode. To switch between modes, the group and not the server, needs to be restarted with a different operating configuration. Regardless of the deployed mode, Group Replication does not handle client-side fail-over, that must be handled by the application itself, a connector or a middleware framework such as a proxy or MySQL Router 8.0.
If a transaction is executed under the SERIALIZABLE isolation level, then its commit fails when synchronizing itself with the group.
If a transaction executes against a table that has foreign keys with cascading constraints, then the transaction fails to commit when synchronizing itself with the group.
These checks can be deactivated by setting the option group_replication_enforce_update_everywhere_checks to FALSE. When deploying in single-primary mode, this option must be set to FALSE.

Fans of Taniguchi's singular work, from the classic Walking Man (which the cover image at left meaningfully evokes) to his ongoing Summit of the Gods, can now rejoice with the release of this new hardcover release (which is, amazingly, priced less than his last few softcover releases!). Originally released fairly recently (2008) in Japan, A Zoo in Winter's 231 pages amply display Tanuguchi's mature skills as he combines all of his interests - meditative scenes of walking outdoors, detailed urban landscapes, animals and snow, all in the service of a complex, deftly constructed narrative involving the intricacies of the human heart. The story is an autobiographical roman á clef recounting Taniguchi's early years, beginning in the winter of 1966, at the point when he had recently moved to Kyoto to follow his dream of being a textile designer. Events there lead him to takie up a friend's invitation to move to Tokyo to work as a mangaka assistant... but we don't want to give too much away here! And as always with Taniguchi, that's just one layer of the complex weavings of the story, there's plenty more going on, all skillfully rendered and deftly paced. Recommended!

DC to test out red bus-only lanes downtown beginning Monday
Kristi King | @KingWTOP
A dedicated bus lane will be in effect in part of downtown D.C. starting Monday. Restrictions apply during the morning and evening rush hours through Sept. 27.
A pilot program creating bus-only lanes along busy downtown D.C. corridors launches Monday.
Bright red paint marks the dedicated bus lane along the right curb of H Street between 18th and 14th streets Northwest and on I Street between 13th and 20th streets Northwest.
Restrictions apply 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., and 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
"We plan to be fully operational on Monday, so we will be enforcing. That includes ticketing and towing," said D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.
Of all the people who ride Metro buses in D.C., 40% are on H or I streets for at least a portion of their routes.

"On the busiest blocks, we can see up to 70 buses per hour," Bowser said.
The program downtown to test the impact of bus-only lanes lasts through Sept. 27, but Bowser said there's already evidence suggesting it will work to move buses more quickly.
"Existing bus lanes on Georgia Avenue have increased bus speeds by 20%," Bowser said. "The 16th Street dedicated bus lane stretching almost 3 miles between Arkansas Avenue to downtown should be up and running next year."
