There are many ways to find your strengths. One approach is to clarify the specific activities in which you see things both from a distance and in depth. A paramedic explained this approach in the following way.
"When arriving at the scene of an accident, I step back and try to see the big picture. It is almost as if I am hovering above the situation and getting an overview of what is happening.
"At the same time, I am able to zoom in and see the smallest details. Sometimes this is challenging on an emotional level, of course, because I empathise with people who are in pain.
Looking at your own work, what are the situations where you see things from a distance and in depth? You may be teaching a seminar, facilitating a mentoring session, designing a garden, tackling a certain kind of challenge or whatever.
Looking at these situations, can you think of an example where you did good work in the past? What did you do then to do good work? What happened as a result of doing good work?
Describe a specific example of when you did good work in a situation where you saw things both from a distance and in depth.
Describe the specific things you did to do good work in the situation.
Describe the specific things that happened as a result of doing the good work.
Different people report different sensations when seeing things from a distance and in depth, but there are some common themes. One family therapist highlighted some of these in the following way.
"The first time I experienced this sensation was when I was running a family therapy session. This sounds odd, but suddenly it felt as if I was floating above people in the room.
Different people ask different questions when looking at things from a distance and in depth. Whatever questions they use, however, they often focus on: a) What is actually happening; b) What people want to happen; c) What can to be done to make this happen.
People gather lots of information. They then use their experience and insight to do the following things.
They see how to pursue the best strategy for achieving the picture of success.
Let's return to the specific activity in which you see things at a distance and in depth. Sometimes you will get to the heart of the matter and clarify the strategy for achieving success.
Sometimes you may get sucked into the detail, however, or become overwhelmed by emotions. On these occasions you may need to find a way to see things from a distance.
Some people do something physical to see things in perspective. They may go for a walk, sleep on the matter, take deep breaths or whatever. You will find your own way of making decisions in such situations.
Looking to the future, can you think of an example of when you may want to build on your ability to see things at a distance and in depth? You may want to do this in a personal or professional situation.
Describe a specific example of when you may want to do good work in a situation where you see things both from a distance and in depth.
Describe the specific things you can do to do good work in the situation.
Describe the specific things that may happen as a result of doing the good work.


As someone involved in the automotive world, we constantly get asked the same question, "Which is a good car?" A couple of weeks ago I was asked this very question by a father of two – looking for something with three-rows, capable of back woods camping, and looked cool (that last one is a tough order). I told him to wait and I'll get back to him as there was a 2016 Honda Pilot on schedule and when it comes to family versatility, the Pilot has been making quite the name for itself lately.
Competition is fierce in the large three-row crossover segment, the list of crossovers just piles up with the Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Chevrolet Traverse, Nissan Pathfinder and the Hyundai Santa Fe (7-passenger) – the Pilot has a lot of living up to do, and just by the looks of things, we're not disappointed.
Granted, our sampled Pilot arrived as loaded as one can get, an Elite. Swanky. It stickers out at $46,420 and comes with everything conceivable from dual sunroofs, DVD entertainment, to all the safety gizmos you can think of. The Pilot starts out in life $30,145 with each trim offering an extra set of goodies till you get to the Elite.
On paper, silver is silver, no matter what elegant name you call it. We don't like silver, but here it actually looks good – it articulates the Pilots curves and with the black cladding below it presents some handsome architecture. Even though this is top trim, you can expect standard LED daytime and LED taillights across all trim levels – however our Elite had LED headlights and massive 20-inch wheels to fill in the large wheel wells.
All models come standard with a 3.5-liter V-6 with an output of 280 horsepower and 262lb-ft of torque. On lower level trims a six-speed auto is standard – on our Elite and also on the Touring comes a new nine-speed automatic with push-button select shift. Nine gears is a lot to shuffle through, especially when it weighs just over 4300lbs, but it hustles to 60 mph in just over six seconds. During the run of the mill traffic, the nine-speed here works well, shifts smoothly and maintains efficiency – at least we assume with the green halo around the cluster. When it comes down to quick maneuvers however, it takes some time to find its way to the right gear. The push-button select shift that comes with the nine-speed has received some bad rap for having a slow response time – I'd have to disagree. It takes no more time to grab a lever and select a gear then to push a button and wait half a second for it to engage. Now I'll admit, it's not necessary here, it's not saving any space and look bizarre in this vast cabin.
Rolling on 20's you'd think a ride quality would be lost. However even we were mistaken. The Pilot has no compromise when it comes to road quality – it's polite and well mannered. The chassis present a strong, solid presence in its demeanor. Things are quiet from inside the cabin thanks to sound insulation and there is just enough suspension feedback to remind us we're on a road. Things even get a bit sassy when we put the transmission in sport mode and used the stainless steel paddle shifter – the engine articulates a pleasant growl and we could feel the V-TEC kick in around 5000 rpms.
It is all business upon entering the dark cabin. Our black leather will be favored by moms (and dads) everywhere. The contemporary design keeps up with the modern influences from other brands. It's silver and piano black trim is nothing new but helps break up the dashes design cues. Our sampler had the large 8-inch touch screen interface – having gone completely buttonless, there is a learning curve to using the system and when it comes down to changing something as simple as the volume or radio station, it becomes a driving distraction – but hey, that's what the buttons on the steering wheel are for… right?
Seating for seven is the only way to go in a Pilot, and that brings in second row captain chairs and an easy access button for third row accessibility. Being a larger person myself, the easy access is… easy and the third row is found to be moderately comfortable… for a short period of time. With the ability to slide back-n-forth, second row passengers can be kind to allow leg room for the third row occupants or be selfish and hog the leg room for themselves – seating position is on the low side for adults, but will work better for kidos in the long run. Front row driver and passengers get the ultimate delight however with tremendously comfortable multi-way power adjustable seats with heated and cooling ventilation on our Elite. The tri-zone climate control allows rear passengers to control their own temperate while enjoying a good movie on the rear seat DVD entertainment.
Technology is huge in the car world and the Pilot has no shortage of featuring the latest tech in safety – adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitor, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, forward collision alert, and forward collision autonomous braking work wonders here at keeping family safe. Some systems can be intrusive and annoying at times causing us to disengage the system entirely. The Pilot managed them quite well not interrupting the driver and being subtle in its response – we did get annoyed at the forward collision alert coming on every time someone cut us off however.
Averaging 23 mpg is a shocker with a large three-row crossover, especially when the EPA rates the Pilot for only 22 mpg combined. And with fueling on 89 octane gas, though regular 87 fuel is just fine, we managed to squeeze 420 miles from its fuel tank.
As with any crossovers, there are its ups and downs and can be hard to choose the right one. Compared to other large utility vehicles the Pilot was the right size, at least for us – it was easy to maneuver around town, park in tight spaces and had an excellent turning radius. Sure it could use more storage and the infotainment system is not user friendly, but all-in-all, the new Honda Pilot is one fine family hauling machine.
I didn't realize those were 20's! Bling machine! The Pilot seems to get a bad rap for being a $48k Honda but like you said a couple of weeks ago, all 3-row crossovers with this level of technology are creeping up that high. I must say I'm very pro-button & knob when it comes to volume controls, so the touch-screen I take issue with. Overall sounds like you had a good time soccer mom-ing this one for 7 days.
It was pretty pimpin'! I think it's well worth the price tag… I'm missing that V-TEC already.

Our blog isn't just about birthday parties. It's a blog about fun events, and the 2017 Solar Eclipse is definitely going to be a fun one. Our staff is looking forward to it. Here's 5 things that may help you with viewing the 2017 Solar Eclipse in Niagara.
The 2017 Solar Eclipse is happening on August 21, 2017 and the path is crossing North America starting at approximately 1:20 PM EST from a Toronto Viewpoint with maximum coverage occurring at approximately 2:15 PM EST.
2. How much of the sun will be covered?
From a Southern Ontario Standpoint, the most coverage of the sun we will see is about 72%. We aren't getting a total eclipse. It's a sad price to pay for being so far North. This doesn't mean that it won't be a great show. If you are looking to get the full (no pun intended) eclipse experience, you will either need to head to the North Western states or to one of the Southern or Central States. Check out this interactive eclipse map from the CBC to check it our for yourself.
3. What makes this eclipse special?
This is the first solar eclipse visible in North America in almost a decade. Solar eclipses happen almost every year in different parts of the world, but because the shadow of the moon is so small on the Earth, only a few get to see them. Sometimes, eclipses happen in the middle of the ocean and are only visible while on a boat. The last solar eclipse to land in North America the Western Hemisphere was back in 2008, almost a decade ago. The last one visible in Canada was back on March 7, 1970. Luckily, there's another one happening in April 08, 2024 whose path is passing directly over the Niagara Region. Marked it on your calendar.
4. How to view the eclipse?
Didn't your mom tell you not to stare at the sun? Well she's right. Don't do it! At least without wearing the proper gear. Sunglasses do not count. Staring at the sun for the duration or even a portion of the eclipse can and will probably do irreparable damage to your eyes. We found in-expensive eclipse glasses for under $4 a pair at Toys-R-Us. We suggest getting a pair of those to make sure you protect your eyes.
5. How else should I prepare for the eclipse?
Let us know about your plans for watching the eclipse. Are you planning anything special for it? Have you seen one before? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter. If you want more fun news, subscribe below.

An advanced skin-brightening and moisture-boosting 2-in-1 solution gentle enough for all skin types, including extra sensitive skin.
Vitamin C appears to be the most abundant antioxidant in human skin. Due to the absence of the enzyme L-gulonolactone oxidase, humans are unable to synthesize vitamin C. Despite high doses of oral supplementation, research is clear that only a small portion of vitamin C will be biologically active and available in the skin. Vitamin C deficiency can cause darkening of skin tone, slow scar healing, increased sensitivity to UV rays, and skin redness, roughness and dryness.
Formulated with the aim of nourishing enough vitamin C for healthy skin, Timeless Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin C Serum blends the maximum 5% of the highly-stabilized and non-irritating form of vitamin C with 1% moisture-supplying hyaluronic acid and 1.5% anti-aging peptides, for all-embracing skin-illuminating, hydrating and firming benefits.
All Timeless Skin Care products are fragrance-free, clinically proven to be extra gentle, and never tested on animals. This hydrating skin brightener is also vegan-friendly and GMO-free.
Timeless Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin C Serum releases light- and air-stable vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and peptides into the skin in a sustained manner to enhance skin's natural radiance from within, lessen the intensity of photoaging pigmentation, increase the moisture content of the skin and reduce skin wrinkling.
A gentle and easily-absorbed formula for all skin types, including extra sensitive skin, or anyone with concerns for uneven skin tone, loss of firmness and skin dryness.
Water, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (vitamin C/skin brightening), Aloe Barbadensis (skin-replenishing), Glycerin (skin-replenishing), Hyaluronic Acid (hydration/skin-replenishing), Matrixyl 3000™ (peptides/skin-restoring), Benzylalcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid (antimicrobial agents).
Apply twice daily after cleansing, toning and exfoliating. Use alone by smoothing a few drops onto the entire face, neck, around the eye area and chest.

A familiar alienation in the work of Elizabeth Ibarra
Elizabeth Ibarra, TATJANA PIETERS, Gent.
In TATJANA PIETERS in Ghent is hosting a solo exhibition with work by Elizabeth Ibarra until January 17.Ibarra's hybrid and dreamlike figures offer room for interpretation. She depicts anthropomorphic, human-like figures who appear supernatural at the same time, with an element that is unidentifiable. We are invited to read something alien in her paintings, drawings and sculptures. She shows hybrid, eccentric and somewhat expressionistic creatures, who often resemble a sort of shadow - without any defined characteristics - or perhaps a foggy memory. That reference to the alien or the otherworldly is reinforced by the title of some of her works, that refer to the sun, moon, meteors, black holes and the night, reflecting her fascination with cosmology.
But in English the meaning of the word "alien" is twofold: otherworldly, but also foreign, or a stranger in another country. Ibarra was born in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1986 but has been working in the United States for years now — where Trump has been threatening to build a wall between her motherland and the country she now calls home. An outsider's perspective could be a complementary interpretation of her work, but her imagery — which seems inspired by modern masters like Joan Miró, Paul Klee, Jean Dubuffet, Louise Bourgeois, JMW Turner and even Romanticism — suggests a deeper sense of loneliness, existentialism and not belonging. Ibarra: "The problem is, I rarely feel like a woman. I mostly feel like other things, like characters—other characters." Therein lies a more universal sense of recognition. Perhaps this alienation is due to the world around us - which seems to be becoming more and more extreme - meaning that it isn't so much our own fault.
Elizabeth Ibarra, Was I ever? 2020, TATJANA PIETRS.
Ibarra: "The bottom line is, I would rather create something truthful than something beautiful." The artist is self-taught and developed many of her techniques herself. For example, she often uses powerful (or earthy) colours and a combination of cold wax and oil paint for her paintings. That results in a smudged and somewhat crusty effect. Sometimes she adds other elements, such as pearl essence and crushed mica, or assemblies of tree branches.
Elizabeth Ibarra, Portrait of the Sun, 2019, TATJANA PIETERS.
When her work was featured at The Hamptons in New York earlier this year, she accompanied her work with a poem:
"Can I let them stand alone
with their own self,
like planets dancing
out there?
Can I let them be your witness,
my witness
that we were both someday,
humans?"
Elizabeth Ibarra's solo exhibition will be on show until January 17 at TATJANA PIETERS in Ghent. Make sure to check the most recent precautions before planning a visit.

This morning I'm in Miami, typing to the skittery music of tree frogs and bufo toads. All the oaks in my family's backyard are laced with ferns. The breeze smells like thunderstorms. This is the Florida I carry in my heart...and the setting of all my books.
MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH takes place in the Everglades--a strange and otherworldly place to call home. At least, that's what the main character, Trent, thinks. I wrote a lot of this book on the front porch in Miami and worked on my editor's notes last winter in New York. I'd look out the window at my snow-crusted fire escape and think of the tree islands on the Miccosukee reservation. A wounded gator named Quasi. The taste of frybread and the rumble of our airboat as it coasted over the water lilies.

Intimidatory tactics
KUNAL SHANKAR
Print edition : February 17, 2017 T+ T-
The University of Hyderabad follows questionable practices to shield itself from media scrutiny.
AT the main gate of the University of Hyderabad, at least a dozen security men frisked everyone going into the campus on January 16, on the eve of the first death anniversary of the Dalit research scholar Rohith Vemula. They had a bunch of A4-sized posters with photographs of people and the words "not allowed" beneath them.
The usual procedure for entry was followed. The security staff retained government-issued identification, asked entrants to give the name of the person they wished to meet, and noted down the time of entry, the vehicle number and the visitors' mobile phone number in a registry.
Hours earlier, the university's management had issued a "circular" "barring entry of outsiders, including print and electronic media, political, social, student groups", citing an April 12, 2016, Hyderabad High Court order. The order was issued after violence erupted on the campus when Vice Chancellor Podile Appa Rao joined duty after having taken two months' "indefinite leave" following Rohith Vemula's death.
The brief interim order passed by Justice Challa Kodandaram specifically applied to "persons, associations and political parties who are conducting meetings in the premises of Hyderabad Central University by giving provocative speeches". The order does not refer to the press, either explicitly or by extension, as it is not the purpose of the press to conduct or enable such meetings. While taking refuge in this order, the university authorities argued that as students had not been granted permission to hold protest meetings on January 16 or 17, by extension the media did not have a reason to enter the campus.
The University of Hyderabad is a public institution created by an Act of Parliament in 1974 serving a public purpose—education. Section 24 (J) and (K) of the Act allows "the establishment and recognition of Students' Union or associations of teachers, academic staff or other employees" and the participation of students in the affairs of the university. To restrict students' campus life to academic pursuits goes against the very statutes that created the university. The authorities can bar assembly on the campus citing Section 24 (O), for "the maintenance of discipline among students." However, to presume that an assembly of students, staff or faculty by itself amounts to "disturbing the peace and educational purpose of the institution" signals a dangerous attempt to curtail democratic practices allowed by the university's own statutes. The objective of these rights, conferred on employees and students, is to foster a more inclusive academic environment which allows for an array of opinions, critical thinking and debate. It also ensures redress of grievances without fear of persecution.
The press, by extension, has the right to report incidents and events or the goings-on in the university with reasonable restrictions as guaranteed under Article 19 (1) (a) of the Indian Constitution. As the University of Hyderabad is a public university and serves a similar purpose, barring the media outright from the premises violates not only the Constitution but its own stated objectives.
This correspondent was accosted by the university's internal security staff on January 17 outside the Life Sciences building, where he took photographs of an ongoing protest against the management.
He was aggressively questioned over his credentials. All the while, he was videographed by one of the three men in a van, without being offered an explanation and in violation of his privacy. The security staff attempted to take away the phone of this reporter, which he resisted. He was taken to meet a Telangana State police officer stationed outside the main university gate. Thereafter, the security staff took him through the south gate to the police station at Gachibowli to avoid the media present at the main entrance.
It must be placed on record that this correspondent suffered no physical violence at the hands of either the internal security or the State police.
However, the inquiring officer refused to give this correspondent a copy of the police complaint filed by the university. He aggressively interrogated this correspondent for about 90 minutes, which was recorded on a mobile phone by another officer. The questions seemed designed to elicit from this correspondent details of his contacts within the university, signalling a potential witch-hunt by the authorities against those critical of the present administration. He was initially denied a copy of the first information report (FIR), citing the absence of "arrest".
The FIR was subsequently published on the State police website the next day, which contained the complaint made by the university's security staff. It revealed the utter lack of application of mind and a clear strategy to intimidate, by falsely accusing this reporter of "jumping the wall or obtaining entry through other illegal means". Charges of trespass and disobedience to the orders of a public servant have been slapped against this correspondent.
Widespread occurrence
Such incidents are not confined to the University of Hyderabad. Indeed, it is part of a pattern witnessed nationwide at public universities in the past two years through which they try to shield themselves from media scrutiny. The current procedure of entering the name of a university official/staff to gain entry, especially by members of the press, at several such public institutions facilitates witch-hunts against employees and whistle-blowers by hostile authorities, as this current example demonstrates. It also violates the Whistle Blowers Protection Act of 2014 and the media's right to keep their sources confidential.
Late at night on January 16, a directive from the administration was conveyed to the faculty over telephone. They were told that they "should desist from participating in any of the student organised activities and that they need not worry on account of security to conduct their classes," said a senior faculty member who did not wish to be named.
"Things have gotten from bad to worse. The sense of persecution is very real and everybody feels like we are being watched," said another faculty member, who is the head of a humanities department.
On January 23, the Press Council of India took suo motu cognisance of the incident and instituted an inquiry. It has issued notices to the Vice Chancellor, Telangana's Chief Secretary, Hyderabad's Superintendent of Police, and the Station House Officer of Gachibowli Police Station, seeking their explanation. The notice states: "It has been brought to the notice of the Council that internal security of Hyderabad Central University detained Frontline's reporter and handed him over to the police. It has been further noticed that the university has again imposed restrictions on the media to cover events in the campus despite giving an undertaking to the Press Council. Since the matter prima facie concerns the free functioning of the Press and the Statute mandates the Press Council to preserve the freedom of the Press, the Honourable Chairman Press Council has taken suo-motu cognisance of the matter under Regulation 13 of the Press Council (Procedure of Inquiry) Regulations, 1979." Replies have been sought within two weeks.

Gemini Love Horoscope
Craig Hamilton-Parker Love Astrology 2 comments
Gemini Horoscope and Love Horoscope
You are sensitive, restless and eloquent. You love variety and change and love to socialize. Sometimes you can be a little vague. Emotionally you are versatile and perceptive though also able to be dispassionate. You are at your best when doing several things at once.
Gemini Personality
THE SIGN OF GEMINI, THE TWINS
Ruling Planet, Mercury
Number: 5; Colour, Silvery White or Very Pale Blue; Day, Wednesday; Jewels and Metals, Agate, Chrysoprase, Beryl and Silver.
The Sun enters the Sign about May 22nd and leaves June 21st.
The Zodiac contains two dual Signs, and though the people porn under them differ considerably in other ways. They share a contradictory complexity which makes them difficult to understand. For instance, in most respects they are particularly truthful, never sheltering under a lie or hesitating to face the music. When a mistake has to be paid for, yet they are quite ready to deceive.
They give generously, but often know they are being imposed upon, in which case their common sense revolts from the giving, though the other side of their nature insists it must be done. They are indifferent to the opinions of others, yet hesitate to say what they think for fear of wounding some susceptibility; in the great affairs of life, they are strong, in small matters they are weak. In fact, they may be described as two persons in one.
Air Sign
Such are the people of the Signs Gemini and Pisces. Gemini is one of the Airy Signs, and the influence of air on its people is very marked.
The earliest symbol of the Sign has two pillars, standing a little apart but joined together at the top. At the great Temple of Jerusalem, two such pillars stood outside the main gate, and travelers in China and Japan are familiar with the pillars joined at the top, which are seen at the approaches to temples and wayside shrines.
Later illustrations of the Sign take the form of two children, embracing each other, thus representing the twin heroes of classic legend, Castor and Pollux.
These were the sons of Jupiter and Leda the mortal, and when they had grown to manhood they went forth adventuring, joining the band that sailed with Jason on the descended. The ship seemed doomed. All on board gave way to despair excepting the twins, who sprang into the prow and with splendid eloquence called on their fellows to fight on until the last. Thrilled by the burning words, the other men dared to raise their heads. To their wonder, they saw halos of flame encircling the heads of the heroes.
The tempest ceased, the ship rode on an even keel, and from that time Castor and Pollux were accepted as the guardians of all sailors and adventurers. There are fewer storms at this time of the year than at any other, and many great travelers and explorers were born under the Sign.
The legend goes on to tell how many years after that storm Castor was killed in battle. When Pollux, broken-hearted by his loss, prayed that he too might die. His prayer was granted, but in a singularly unsatisfactory manner, for, though both died, they were never allowed to be together.
Alternately each was allowed to return to earth as a living man for one day: thus always one was dead and the other alive. Then many years had gone, we may presume they had atoned for whatever sins they had committed, for Jupiter raised them both to the Heavens as the two stars called by their names still. But the same cruel fate pursued them. The two stars are never seen at the same time, one has set before the other rises.
Probably the name was given to the stars long before the legend of Castor and Pollux was told. That may be a parable to illustrate the rising and setting of the stars, or as in another version, the miracle of darkness and dawn. Castor is Night, Pollux is Day. They are in perfect harmony yet never together. When one appears the other has to go.
The people of Gemini are always talented in two different directions. It is very seldom they keep to one career all through their lives, often changing many times, but invariably ending in a trade or profession quite different from the one they adopted as a start. New interests attract them easily, and where ordinary acquaintances are concerned they tire easily, being described as fickle in consequence.
Yet when once they really love they are the most constant and devoted of all people, just as Castor and Pollux were devoted to the end. Travel is in their blood. Few Gemini people care to settle down till they are quite old. Remembering the story of the two brothers who sailed the seas and led armies to victory, you will find it stands for the Gemini people of today.
Gemini Horoscope Compatibility: You harmonize best with: Libra and Aquarius. There are mutual help and support with: Aries. You either repel or attract: Sagittarius. You may ignore, avoid or adapt to Virgo and Pisces.
Gemini's love to have fun and also love their freedom so can be a difficult bird to catch.
They love life and love to experience everything life has to offer. Often they fall in love with their best friends because they share the same interests and are naturally compatible. The snag is with Gemini is that they can be fickle and tend not to stick with a relationship when the going gets tough. Their multiple personalities makes it hard for them to settle in a relationship if they think it at all monotonous.
Gemini men can talk themselves into love at great speed and out again just as quickly! They can be charming and captivating but also unreliable and disloyal! Same too with Gemini women although they are a little less restless and can tend more to fall into a traditional role.

Archbishop Kaziimba issues prayer guidelines as Museveni bans gatherings over coronavirus
in NEWS, World
Archbishop Steven Kaziimba has asked public to take precautionary measures issued by health Ministry against COVID-19 (PHOTO/Courtesy)
KAMPALA – The Archbishop of Church of Uganda, The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba has issued several prayer and worship guidelines to be followed by both church leaders and believers.
The comes shortly after the president's directive to close all learning institutions by Friday across the country over merciless coronavirus.
Mr. Museveni who was on Wednesday evening addressing the nation on the steps taken by Uganda to contain the outbreak of coronavirus said that it is wise to ban all gatherings including church services for 32 days as one of the measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus in case its confirmed in the country.
According to His Grace, this decision will have a big impact on how Christians live and worship as for the next few weeks.
"I want to provide some additional guidance to what our President has shared. While it will be very difficult for us to not gather together, we stand with His Excellency in this decision because it will help save lives. As Christians and as the church, we value life and support all efforts to promote life. Jesus said, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." (John 10.10)," said the Archbishop in a statement.
Among the guidelines, the Archbishop encouraged husbands and fathers to step up and take responsibility for leading their families in daily home prayers and in Sunday worship, saying that the Family is the smallest church, and every home needs its "Family Altar.
His Grace also said that he will be recording a daily devotion to be circulated on social media and encouraged the Christians to access the devotion through the Church of Uganda's Facebook page and Twitter accounts. "Please use it with your family and home cells."
Below is full Archbishop's statement.
Dear Bishops, Clergy, and all Christians
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Today, His Excellency, the President of Uganda, announced the decision of the government to close down all public religious gatherings, including churches, for 32 days effective immediately. He did this as a father who advises his children on the best way we can stay safe and healthy.
This decision will have a big impact on how we live and worship as Christians for the next few weeks, and I want to provide some additional guidance to what our President has shared. While it will be very difficult for us to not gather together, we stand with His Excellency in this decision because it will help save lives. As Christians and as the church, we value life and support all efforts to promote life. Jesus said, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." (John 10.10)
In my Charge I encouraged the church to develop new tools for ministry and outreach, including radio, television, and social media. I never expected the need for these new tools to come so quickly. But, here we are. A great evangelist once said, "Your setback can be a setup for our comeback."
As I shared in last week's pastoral letter, I want to begin by reminding you of Jesus' command to not be anxious. In Lamentations 3.21-23, the Bible says, "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
*"Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." (Matthew 18.18)*
People have asked me, "If we can't meet for worship in church on Sundays and mid-week, how will we have church?" Yes, it will be hard to not meet together on Sundays, but we should be assured of Jesus' words, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." (Matthew 18.18)
1. I have already encouraged Home Cells in my Charge and they are the ideal place for Sunday worship to take place. Some cells may need to sub-divide so they are no more than 10 people. But, Sunday worship can take place with home cells in homes, observing, of course, the appropriate behaviours of not shaking hands or hugging and keeping at least one metre of distance between you and others. If you're sick, please stay home.
2. I am calling on all husbands and fathers to step up and take responsibility for leading your families in daily home prayers and in Sunday worship. The Family is the smallest church, and every home needs its "Family Altar."
3. Some churches have developed the capacity for online streaming of worship services. I call on you to expand that capacity for also broadcasting services without the presence of a congregation. Please also share with your diocese and the provincial office the times and online address for these broadcasts, so others can benefit.
4. We are asking all Bishops to develop "Radio Church," and asking all radio stations to collaborate with the church under these extraordinary circumstances and provide airtime on Sunday mornings to broadcast local language worship services into every home.
5. We also encourage all Bishops to link with local TV stations for ways to broadcast a local language Sunday service through television. I want to emphasize how this situation reminds us of our great need for a church TV station, as I identified in my Charge, and I hope we will now understand the urgency for it.
6. I will be recording a daily devotion to be circulated on social media and I encourage you to access the devotion through the Church of Uganda's Facebook page and Twitter accounts. Please use it with your family and home cells.
7. There is an African Proverb that says, "When an African sings, he prays twice." In Italy, where communities have been locked down for several weeks already, residents in apartment buildings and nearby homes are singing together from their balconies and front doors. Please, take the initiative and be a blessing to your neighbours by singing songs of praise and worship together in our communities…but at a distance!
8. I also want to encourage Christians to reach out to one another in as many ways as possible – phone calls, text messages, social media – so we continue to encourage one another in our faith. This is especially important for the elderly and those who may be isolated. Please make sure they have the practical, emotional, and spiritual support of the Christian community.
9. Do not neglect to worship God through your tithes and offerings.
a. Bishops and Clergy should explain to their Christians how to use online banking, if available, to continue giving weekly tithes and offerings.
b. Alternatively, using Mobile Money may be another means.
c. It may be possible to pass by your local church during the week and give your offering privately.
d. If none of those are available, I urge every Christian to set aside their weekly tithes and offerings. When we do come back together again – and, we will! – we will have a big in-gathering as a Thanksgiving to God for his great faithfulness (Lam 3.21-23).
Warnings and Encouragement
We all know that there are some bad people in the world who will try to take advantage of this crisis. I've already heard about people posing as health officials selling or giving away face masks, but the face masks will sedate people who then get robbed and abused. Likewise, waragi is still not your friend. Stay away from it. Be careful.
Finally, I want us all to seize the spiritual opportunity that is being given to us through this crisis. The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7.13-14, "When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
I call for this season to be a season of prayer and fasting for our people and our land. When the Lord shows you areas you need to repent personally, please do it.
When we have a State of Emergency, we also need Prayers of Emergency. So, I also call on the President to declare a weekly Day of National Prayer during this season to bring us all together in repentance and faith.
Finally, don't forget to sing about God's faithfulness in your homes and communities. Why? Because "the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3.21-23)
Yours, in Christ,
The Most Rev. Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba
ARCHBISHOP OF CHURCH OF UGANDA.

Crossing the Tracks by Barbara Stuber is historical fiction set rural Missouri in the heyday of the model T. As her father is set to re-marry, Iris is hired out to work as a housekeeper to a country doctor and his aged mother. Iris is understandably furious and sullen about the whole thing, knowing full well that she is qualified to run one of her father's shoe stores instead. But he wants her out of sight and out of mind so that he can move on with his life with no reminders of his first wife.
Iris's first encounter with her new employer is a dark and dusty house. She begins to imagine the worse — a near corpse of a woman trapped in her living room. Instead as soon as she's instructed to open the curtains, she meets a feisty, independently minded woman, who though clearly old, isn't frail or near death.
Crossing the Tracks settles into a tale of family is the people you chose, not the ones you're born to. The old woman teaches her how to manage a house and a farm. The doctor teaches her how to drive.
The tale of Iris's growth into a self reliant person is spun in threads taken from the Persephone myth as well as road not taken road narrative. At Iris feels trapped in a far away, dusty, near-dead place that she doesn't know and doesn't want to know. As time passes, she grows to love her employers as a family she has been denied at home.
I read the book as part of my road narrative project and I will probably need to re-read it more closely. My initial live blog of favorite quotes is on Tumblr.

Dan Reid is from a small town 30 miles from Edinburgh called Dunfermline. His interest in BJJ & MMA began around 2005, when he watched the first ultimate fighter and decided he would give it a try. This didn't actually begin until 2008. Better late than never as we all know.
Having played basketball on an international level growing up it was all he did up until he started Jiu Jitsu around the age of 25. As we all know it soon consumed his life. Soon, the life of the Jiujitero led him to a nomadic lifestyle not so uncommon with men and women in BJJ. This then led him to meeting a man in DC asking if he would like to visit Taiwan, a turning point in the young(ish) Dan's life.
During a Southern Taiwan trip he met the right people under the right circumstances and the rest as they say, is history. Soon he became a full time coach based in Kaohsiung that soon developed into a full blown team that has now achieved the Taiwan No-gi Team trophy of 2018.
Curiosity gets the better of me and I ask him to let me interview him.
Luckily he agrees and I start off with the cliché questions; who are his roles in the sport, in Dan fashion he answers quite emphatically.
Quite plain and simple in his views of those he respects.
As for his preference of Nogi it all stems from his original desire to fight MMA and his preference to see a roll as a fight.
Regarding his view on competition it's quite clear he finds it important considering the amount of students who competed at the Taiwan open and the results they achieved.
As much as he encourages his students to compete he realizes that competing is no for everyone at every stage of their life, therefore when he wants to push students he finds it always best to positively reinforce rather than push.
When I pushed him later on our encounter in Taiwan and how he felt watching me compete.
Dan means this literally and figuratively as we ended up drinking with a lot of black belts later and I in actual fact blacked out. Just to note because of this Scotsman I've had 3 of the worst hang overs in my life. Once in Taiwan, then in Vietnam and the last in Tokyo, the man has a knack for killing my liver and sanity.
But I digress, pressed on who his main influences in BJJ were he sees himself more of a 'crowd-funded' machination. His students are now his greatest influences and now, as a passionate full time coach if there's one thing that he feels he misses out on it's the time to worry less about his students competing and more on him as the competitor.
Having seen his 'coaching' up front and personal I have seen his passion come right out on the mats. I have never seen a man shout so loudly as Dan did in Vietnam asking a referee if there was a sweep there. As much as it can cause disruption I understand that this is a man that loves his students. There is that other incident in Manila but that's a story for another time.
When pushed for his worst competition experience as both competitor and coach Dan replies quite matter of factly.
You may be wondering why I'm writing this article.
Why now, why Dan Reid is of interest to me and why I write this as a personal story as well as a story about him. It may be partly be because he's a fellow countryman in an unlikely location in Asia as I am.
But it's quite simply that he's a good guy who deserves the recognition of being a passionate and personable coach who goes out of his way for his students, even to those who aren't even his students. He saw 3 of his students go up against me, he could have been resentful of the whole situation but he wasn't, he invited me out to pizza, we all got pished and I now have a friend in Dan as well as his great students. Except James, screw that guy.
Another reason is that one of the two gyms in Southern Taiwan suffered a fire in the building which damaged most of their equipment and despite having insurance, they are getting screwed over by the insurance company.
My desire in this article was I wanted to bring light to this and get something sorted for him and to gain some traction for support, but thankfully so many kind people stepped up and helped in different ways.
This included a gofundme account that really eased the stress of starting over.
Dan having set up his new gym in no time is now set to coordinate ADCC Taiwan October 20th in Kaohsiung. Slightly disappointing that his super fight fell through with another prominent nomadic Jiujitero in Stuart Cooper.
If you're ever in Southern Taiwan I highly recommend you go and visit Kaoshiung BJJ. He's a great coach, a great competitor and a true Scotsman in the pub. I will personally forgot the latter and get some time on the mats soon.
So promotions were pushed back on account of me competing and those that were soon to be purple belts were postponed as a result. Quite the reaction, at the same time I wasn't going to cancel plans because some of them were whining.
So on the 3rd of December 2016, I flew off to Taipei for the first time, alone. Team mates who were supposed to go couldn't make it and I was stuck on my lonesome, traveling to Taipei. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it's nice to have team mates traveling and competing with you. Plus the after party is always fun as your alcohol tolerance is down the pan after abstaining for weeks to keep training.
A rule that some of my team mates do not adhere to.
My first impression of Taiwan was it didn't feel that much different from Japan.
It had its own unique style but I felt very welcome and relaxed considering I was traveling alone. I get to the hostel, get changed and decide to walk around the night market and get a little meal. On weight or no you have that slight doubt as to your weight. The streets are packed with people well after 8pm and the smells and atmosphere is great, walking around my pre-comp anxiety dissipated.
Getting back to the hostel shortly after my light dinner I notice that I am now sharing the hostel with a fellow guest. Judging by his mannerisms I guessed a Japanese guest, we bowed, closed our respective doors and shut off for the evening thinking of the coming competition.
Little did I know that he was here for the same reason I was.
The morning walk to the venue was a brisk 15 minutes, the gymnasium reception directs me to the venue and soon I'm looking through a window where 3 mat spaces are set up with people teeming around the enclosure waiting for the white belts to weigh in and commence the tournament.
Bugger, so I test my weight, sit and sip on some water to hydrate. Then, by some chance the hostel guest appears and we realize we have a common friend in one of the referees at the venue. We introduce each other, bow again, meet his other team mates at the venue and bunch our luggage together. Then we ask each other the million dollar question, what our respective weight and divisions are. We were not in each other's category and we laughed with anxious relief.
Hungry and wanting some bananas after my weigh in I go for a walk to find a convenience store. I happen to bump into 2 westerners with gi pants on and ask them where to go. Nice enough couple, as it turns out I would compete against them both in my weight class and absolute division but a little more on that later.
Weigh in finally done, I eat some granola bars and bananas (a little pre-competition ritual now) and find a quiet space to stretch and relax. Once I get called it's show time, I go through to the mat allocated and watch the first round competitors going at it. Getting a by in the first round, I find myself against a local guy, once we slap and bump the guys immediately goes for an ankle pick and dives in to pull guard after his failed attempt. After a lot of back and forth and myself 2 points down against his 4 points, I do what any rational man does and panic.
I came all the way here only to lose in the first round? A sloppy kiss of the dragon later and I'm taking the guy down and being locked down from just about passing. One advantage saves me from losing in the first round, exhausted and hand raised I sit and chat to the guy and he's surprised I'm Japanese. He quips 'Usually you guys play guard!' So he was surprised when I played top throughout the match.
Props to the guy, he was tough and by 1 advantage difference my hand was raised. It could easily have gone the other way.
The second match gets called and who do I see but one of the guys directing me to a store across from me on the mats. The match ends in a submission with my hand raised. Thank god, he was tough and he was savvy in leg locks which I had very little knowledge in.
What I noticed throughout the match was someone coaching him with a heavy Scottish accent. Curious I introduced myself after the match and asked him where he was from. Turns out this guy was the head coach and founder of Danimal BJJ in Southern Taiwan, Dan Reid.
You can understand the guy being taken aback by my accent given I look nothing like a Scot and I just beat one of this students, still, we shook hands and my final match is called.
I felt vindicated from Hong Kong, I shook my opponent's hand, Dan's hand and I go and let everyone know the results outside the venue as reception was non-existent in the venue.
Congratulations later they convince me to do absolute. Fair enough, division won, medal received, and I am back on the mats against a lightweight competitor, with nothing to lose I do what I never do, pull guard.
The sub-par guard gets me to the submission and as I walk off the mats I realize that the taller of the couple from Danimal BJJ is my next opponent. Well bugger, 94kg, 6"4 and the other Taiwanese competitors look at me like I'm about to get stomped on. Fair assessment given the man's size but I step up and fight to the very end and lose on points.
Thus ended my competition in Taiwan, elated by the result I look forward to a Taiwanese dinner and a short flight back to Bangkok the next day. What happened instead was a lot of Pizza and bad wine with the Danimal crew.
Just as I'm getting out of my sweaty gi Dan comes over and asks if I would like to join him and his team for some dinner.
How good of him to invite me considering I just competed against 3 of his guys. At dinner and a few beers down me I get to learn more of his team, where he was from and how a fellow Scotsman ended up in Kaohsiung of all places.

In an effort to avoid an
enrollment decline and staffing cuts
next year, TNCC President Robert
Templin is scheduled to appear
before the State Board for
Community Colleges this week to
request a tuition increase for the
1991-92 academic year.
Making the point that Thomas
Nelson is at its full student
capacity, Dr. Templin will argue
that without a tuition increase to
offset declining state resources, the
college will be forced to turn away
hundreds of students next fall. In
light of increased financial aid
resources to be made available next
year, Dr. Templin anticipates that
many financially disadvantaged
students should be able to handle
the tuition increase.
The State Board is scheduled to
make a decision on tuition by
April 5.
4 1/2 Day Work Week

Beginning the week of May 13 and
ending the week of August 5, the
college will observe a summer work
schedule of 4 1/2 days per week.
The 4 1/2 day schedule will consist
of four 8.7 hour days (8 hours, 45
minutes) Monday through Thursday
and five hours on Friday.

hours will be:
Mon.-Thurs. 7:30 a.m.-5:15 p.m.
(one-hour lunch break)
Fri. 730 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Those offices that are normally
open for service from 8:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. will modify their service
hours in the morning and afternoon

Q: Custom GPUImage filter: each pixel is the sum of pixels above it I'm trying to create a GPUImage filter to determine the bounding box of an image. The process would require the following step: copying the image except for:

*

*pixels on last row is black if at least one of the above pixels is not completely transparent

*pixels on last line is black if at least one of the pixels on its left is not completely transparent

*pixels on last line is black if it would be according to rule 1. or rule 2.

This would convert image A into image B:

How could I achieve this easily?

A: GPUImage filters support write shader file for it. You need to write shader that doing provided algorithm. So basically you need to subclass from GPUImageFilter and write shader file. :)

Congratulations To Medallia, A Past Calibre One Client, On Their Successful IPO
By Calibre One - July 20, 2019
Customer experience management platform Medallia (NYSE: MDLA) rose more than 70% in its New York Stock Exchange debut Friday.
The nearly two-decades-old business priced its shares at $21 apiece, the top of its proposed range, Thursday evening and traded as high as $39.54 the following morning. Medallia closed up roughly 76% at about $37 per share on Friday.
Medallia sold a total of 15.5 million shares in its IPO, raising $326 million at a $2.5 billion valuation in the process.
San Mateo-headquartered Medallia, led by chief executive officer Leslie Stretch, operates a platform meant to help businesses better provide for their customers. Its core product, the Medallia Experience Cloud, provides employees real-time data on customers collected from online review sites and social media. The service leverages that data to provide insights and tools to improve customer experiences.
The company is backed by four venture capital firms: Sequoia Capital — which owned a roughly 40% pre-IPO stake — Saints Capital, TriplePoint Venture Growth and Grotmol Solutions, the latter which invested a small amount of capital in 2010. Medallia has raised a total of $268 million in equity funding, including a $70 million Series F funding earlier this year.
Sequoia's 40% stake was worth upwards of $1.8 billion at Medallia's high price Friday.

Q: Existe uma forma melhor de se remover um elemento de um array em JS no ponto de vista de programação funcional? Estava tentando remover um elemento de um array, e uma vez que estou tentando aprender um pouco mais sobre programação funcional, tentei mudar a velha forma que eu utilizava para fazer isto.

const myArray = [
  {id: 1, label: 'first'},
  {id: 2, label: 'second'},
  {id: 3, label: 'third'},
]

const itemToRemove = {
 id: 2,
  label: 'second'
}

myArray.splice(myArray.findIndex(item => {
 return item.id == itemToRemove.id
}), 1)

console.log('->', JSON.stringify(myArray, null, 2))

Minha dúvida...
Existe uma forma melhor de juntar (chain) estas duas funções?
Existe uma forma melhor de fazer isto (no ponto de vista de programação funcional)?
Muito obrigado.

A: Um dos paradigmas da programação funcional é não mudar dados fora de uma dada função. Ou seja ter estruturas imutáveis e funções puras. O splice vai na direção oposta e muda uma array, sem criar uma cópia. E isso pode ter consequências indesejadas.
Para filtrar elementos de uma array com princípios de programação funcional deve usar-se o .filter e criar outra array, ou se fôr desejado sobre-escrever a variável. Em ambos os casos a array original fica inalterada.

const myArray = [
  {id: 1, label: 'first'},
  {id: 2, label: 'second'},
  {id: 3, label: 'third'},
]

const itemToRemove = {
 id: 2,
  label: 'second'
}

// comparando os objetos transformados em string
const filtrada1 = myArray.filter(
    el => JSON.stringify(el) != JSON.stringify(itemToRemove)
);
console.log(1, JSON.stringify(filtrada1));

// se bastar comparar com o `id`
const filtrada2 = myArray.filter(
    ({id}) => id != itemToRemove.id
);
console.log(2, JSON.stringify(filtrada2));

A: Acredito que esta seria a resposta ideal se estas a procura de simplicidade e programação funcional,
utilizando a função grep():

var obj =  [ {id: "1", name: "Ola"},
            {id: "2", name: "Java"},
            {id: "3", name: "Script"}];
obj = $.grep(obj , function (value) {
        return value.id != '1';
});

console.log(obj);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Exemplo de Syntax:
retorno = $.grep(ObjetoASerRemovido, function (value) {
        // aqui pode ser a condição que preferires ex: value.name != 'Ola' && value.id != '1'
        return value.id != '1';
});

One-man submarine for sale on Calgary classifieds could be yours
While the rest of us were trying to make sourdough bread at the start of the pandemic, Pronk took the sub on as a pandemic project

If you're looking to one-up your neighbour's new speedboat, there's an advertisement on Calgary's Facebook Marketplace you may want to check out.
A listing for a one-man freshwater submarine appeared on the site's buy-and-sell section on Monday.
One-man submarine for sale on Calgary classifieds could be yours Back to video
The sub owner and builder, Hank Pronk, lives in Invermere, B.C., but listed the sub in Calgary and said he will gladly deliver it here.
The bones of the sub are from a project Pronk built about eight years ago, but he basically rebuilt it from the ground up with some major upgrades.
While many of us were learning to make sourdough bread at the start of the pandemic, Pronk took the sub on as a project, increasing the overall volume and leg room, and fixing some minor stability issues it previously had.
"I spent the summer fixing it all up and upgrading the hell out of it, and now it's a nice, working little sub," he said.
It's rated for a depth of 400 feet and carries enough oxygen to keep a person safely breathing for 72 hours. It has enough power for four to five hours of cruising time, but a diver can stay down much longer if they choose to hang out.
"If you're just sitting on the bottom watching the fish and eating your lunch, you could be out there all day," said Pronk, who added that the design allows for great viewing.
"Because it has an acrylic cylinder for a conning tower, the visibility is fantastic," he said. "You can see all around."
Aside from the golf cart batteries for propulsion, it has a separate battery for lights and a CO2 scrubber in the tank.
The sub also features an escape system. Pronk built it to overcome the scariest of all scenarios — getting tangled in something on the bottom of a lake.

"Let's say one of my propellers gets caught in an old abandoned anchor line," Pronk said. "Normally, you'd be stuck. But all my motors and my mechanical arm are mounted on a chassis. If they get tangled, I can release the whole chassis and I get untangled.
"The remaining part of the submarine is now hundreds of pounds lighter and it just rockets to the surface."
Pronk, who owns a house-moving business, has no formal training in shipbuilding or engineering. In fact, he didn't finish high school, although he doesn't like to say he dropped out.
"Actually, the school decided I should stop coming. So I don't know if I dropped out or I got kicked out or whatever. I'm certainly no engineer."
He said he started building subs when he was quite young.
"It was difficult," he said. "Once the internet came along, then I could really build submarines, because then the world is your oyster. I just researched the hell out of everything."
Through the internet, he's been able to connect with other builders for technical support. His YouTube channel features detailed tours of several subs he's built and shows some of them in action.
The internet also allows Pronk to connect with scientists in need of a sub. Through the website innerspacescience.org , he donates his equipment and time to help researchers get to places they might not otherwise be able to visit.
Phil Nuytten, president of Nuytco Research and a builder of commercial submarines and diving suits, has met Pronk and run pressure tests on one of his submarine hulls at his research facility in Vancouver.
He said Pronk started as an amateur but is now "up there with the best of them" when it comes to building subs.
"He's really got the submarine fever," said Nuytten. "He does everything by the book. He knows what he's doing and does it well."
Pronk's philosophy is to build subs simple, so there are fewer chances for mechanical problems.
"I keep them simple like an army jeep," he said. "It only has what it needs. Nothing more."
For any would-be buyers in the Calgary region, he can't really recommend many places nearby to take the sub.
"Honestly, diving in lakes in Canada is pretty boring. We don't have tropical fish," he said.
"For me, it's building them more than using them that I enjoy."
Pronk said he won't sell the sub to just anyone. They have to show an interest in and an understanding of rebreather diving.
The asking price on the sub is $30,000, serious inquiries only. No lowballs or propeller kickers.

There are lots of great reasons why it can make ample sense to register your company. The initial basic reason is usually to protect one's own interests and not risk personal assets to the point of facing bankruptcy in case your business faces a serious event and also needs to seal down. Secondly, it's simpler to attract VC funding as VCs are assured of protection when the company is registered. It offers a superior tax advantages to the entrepreneur typically within a partnership, an LLP or a limited company. (These are terms which has been described afterwards). Another acceptable reason is, in case of a small company, if a person would like to transfer their shares to another it's easier once the clients are registered.
Frequently you will find there's dilemma about once the company needs to be registered. The solution to that is, primarily, if the business idea is good enough being converted into a profitable business or not. And when the reply to that is the confident plus a resounding yes, then it's time for one to just register the startup. So that as mentioned previously it is usually good to get it done being a precautions, before you decide to may be saddled with liabilities.
Based upon the kind of and size of the organization and how you want to expand it, your startup could be registered as one of the many legal formats of the structure of a company open to you.
a) Sole Proprietorship. Which is a company managed or run by only one individual. No registration is required. This can be the solution to adopt in order to do it all all on your own as well as the reason for establishing the organization is usually to achieve a short-term goal. However, this puts you at risk of losing all of your personal assets should misfortune strike.
b) Partnership firm. Is owned and operated or run by a minimum of several than two individuals. In the matter of a Partnership firm, because the laws are certainly not as stringent as that involving Ltd. Company, (limited company) it relates to a great deal of trust relating to the partners. But similar to a proprietorship there's a probability of losing personal belongings in different eventuality.
c) OPC is really a One individual Company the location where the clients are an outside legal entity which in place protects the owner from being personally responsible for any losses.
d) Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), where the general partners have limited liability. LLP combines good partnership firm and a company as well as the partners are not personally liable to lose their personal wealth.

About | TORONTO'S FIRST "Cop Watch"
REGENT PARK COP WATCH and Expanding to other areas in Toronto….
Toronto's first ever Social Housing Project "Regent Park" has had it's share of the best and worst of both worlds. The Toronto Police Services Board and the Current Chief, Mr. William Blair have made steps to improve the image of the Force and now is the time to seize the opportunity to make concrete progress toward harmonized relations with the public it serves. We believe that among the men in blue there are a great number of individuals that respect the law and strive to be tolerant and sincere. These are the people we want to commend and bring forward to the Board and the Chief for salutation for their great work in the community.
However, much distrust and fear exist between the TPS and the community of Regent Park. We will strive to mirror the interactions between the Police and the community of Regent Park. We are both very concerned about the current level of Police misconduct with brutality by members of the T.P.S against youth, the aged, person with addictions and mental illness and homeless people in Regent Park. Unacceptable behavior including verbal, sexual, and physical abuse, racial profiling, privacy violations, gender discrimination, false arrest, harassment, and intimidation.
We will be coming into the community and speaking with those who live, work or visit the community and with those who are concerned or are fearful and will become a trusted source of witness and vigilance. We will regularly patrol Regent Park 's streets by car, bike, and on foot, observing and videotaping police interactions with the public without interfering with duties of the police. Our goal on patrols is to document police interacts by members of the Toronto Police 51st. Division and members of T.A.V.I.S ( Toronto Anti Violence Intelligence Strategy) and communicate with them on the streets and in their divisions.
We, at Regent Park Copwatch, are not anti police nor will we interfere or obstruct any interaction we record. We believe the Police can be a force for good in the community, can be part of the solution. We will be in contact with the local Police Division Superintendent to show to them the progress of our work. Should we have concerns about conduct or actions we will provide the opportunity to find solutions . We believe we can work with the Division leaders to survey, record and track misconduct, criminal or illegal actions in violation of their code of conduct by members of the Toronto Police Service. Personnel who serve and protect have nothing to hide and exemplary work will be similarly recorded and commended for their levels of professionalism, de escalation skills, compassion and commitment to service excellence.

Tamiya 24033 Toyota Celica Supra Long...
Tamiya 24033 Toyota Celica Supra Long Beach GP Marshal Car 1/24 Scale Plastic Model Kit
1970 was the year that the world was first greeted with Toyota's legendary Celica, and the car continued to innovate and impress through the domestic market's top spec Celica XX in 1978 and then the second generation Celica XX 2800GT (known as Celica Supra outside of Japan) from 1981. Sporting a 2.8-liter DOHC 6-cylinder engine and fitted with jazzy overfenders and roof spoiler in some export versions, the car was a frequent sight at racetracks; it was employed as the marshal car for the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in 1982, complete with a BAE turbocharger and boosted output of 230hp that doubtless won the car even more admirers over the race weekend.
★This is a 1/24 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 195mm, width: 81mm, height: 67mm. ★The wedge shaped form of the car is captured in style, with separate parts for overfenders, roof spoiler and other details. ★Clear and plated parts are used in the depiction of the light bar. ★Move the retractable headlights via a simple one-touch mechanism. ★Underside offers excellent detail with depictions of suspension, exhaust and more. ★Features a realistic interior with easy to assemble parts breakdown. ★Wheels are metal-plated. Front wheels are steered. ★Comes with a driver figure to up the realism.
