I hope you remember your 2nd Birthday. If not I have documented some of it here. I had organized a minion party which was a huge hit. You and your friends had a great time. A lot of planning and organizing went into it. When all the arrangements were thought through and finalized I started to think about your gift. Clothes, shoes, toys, books, cycle, remote car, piano ….what could I buy you? Alhamdulillah ! you had these already….. Finally I bought ' Glimpses of World History – by Jawaharlal Nehru'.
I ordered the book to office. When it got delivered my colleagues were surprised that this was a gift for you. They all said Zayb is too small to read this book. I understood what they meant but I didn't not order the book as a direct gift to you. My gift to you was the gift of a knowledgeable and wise parent. Only if I aimed at acquiring more and more knowledge and wisdom can I hope to raise you into a wise and intelligent human being.
You may ask why didn't I buy a book on Vedic math or geometry or logarithms or physics or bio. Instead I got myself a book on world history. Why? Because what man is, only history tells (George Moose).
I believe there are two types of educations, one that teaches us to earn our livelihood and the other that teaches us to live. You can acquire education needed to earn a livelihood from academic institutions. But your first and perhaps primary source of education on life will be me for at least your growing up years. And hence since I had you I have tried extra hard at becoming a better person, becoming wiser, becoming smarter……I can't assure you the smartest and most knowledgeable mother. But what I can do is assure you that you have a mother who is open, willing and eager to learn and pass it on. My growth as a person will be my biggest gift to you year on year.
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. ... But also remember that......history is written by the victors....sometimes the truth is lost with the losers.

Billie Templar's War
Ellie Irving (Author)
Billie Templar desperately wants her dad to come home. He's a soldier and has been away for seven weeks, fighting for 'Queen and country' - but how can the two of them possibly defend their four-year record of winning the three-legged race at the school carnival if he's thousands of miles away?
Then, when one of the other soldiers in Dad's regiment is seriously hurt, the stakes get even higher. Billie needs her dad home, sharpish. There's only one person who can help - Her Majesty. She's in charge of the army, right? She can send Dad home! Billie tries to get inside Buckingham Palace to sort it out, but it's not that easy. So, with the help of shy Sarah and allergy-prone Jake, the school brass band and a motley team of enthusiastic old-age pensioners, Billie hatches a fool-proof plan to get the Queen to her little village instead...
Both laugh-out-loud funny and utterly heart-wrenching, and featuring an unforgettable cast of sweet, crazy characters, Billie's journey will have you laughing and crying in equal measure.

On Saturday, June 4, a friend and I went for a hike on the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail and then up Burnaby Mountain to Simon Fraser University. To get to the start of that hike, I took the SkyTrain to the Production Way / University SkyTrain station. As I went there, I noticed many people were wearing Vancouver Canucks shirts and jerseys.
After we explored Simon Fraser University for a while, we decided to have something to eat, so we looked on a campus directory and found a restaurant. We walked over to the restaurant and although it was a sunny Saturday there were no people in the restaurant at 5:30pm. Then my friend noticed it said "Open", so we went in and wow, they were open! We got served but were the only people there. At the time, I figured maybe it was a summer thing, with all the students gone away for the summer. But then why keep the restaurant open for the summer?
On my walk home, I heard many cars honking their horns at an intersection, but not in an angry way. At first I thought someone had gotten married, so I looked for the telltale car with plastic flowers on the roof and tin cans tied to the bumper. There was no such car. Weird.
The same thing happened at another intersection, with even more honking, from at least a dozen cars. Then I noticed some guy standing on the street corner, waving a flag with the Vancouver Canucks logo on it. I guess the Canucks must have won a game.
Interesting theory. I suppose it does explain the empty restaurant. And it's more plausible (and has more explanatory power) than my previous theory, which was that "students don't like Indian food."

First of all, gauge the experience of the bails bond agent. How long have they been in the profession? For quality services, it is better to engage bails bondman that has spent plenty of years in the industry handling diverse bond surety products to many clients. Experienced bails bond agents will speed up your release process by clearing all your bail money.
Secondly, check on the repayment option plans of several bails bond agents. It will prompt you to select one with a suitable repayment plan that is manageable by you as per the circumstances that surround you. In addition to that, let the bails bond agent clearly outline for you the payment schedule plan for you to understand it and not be surprised by any other charge fees along the way.
Is the bails bond agent credible? For you to trust in the services of a bails bond agent, you have to ensure they are certified. They should have in place the necessary certificates of operation such as authentic licenses and permits issued by the relevant authorities in your state. The documents serve as accreditation for the bails bond agent to engage in legal activities by offering clients standard and ethical services. The courts may reject bonds offered by unlicensed agents thus you will end up staying in jail. Learn more about bail bonds at http://www.ehow.com/about_4699595_what-secured-bail-bond.html.
Thoroughly examine the availability and the accessibility of the bails bond agent. For convenience purposes, work with agents that have a permanent address and working telephone numbers or emails so that you easily get in touch with them. Work with agents that will not only stick around during payment of bail but also after your release on bail to ensure you do not miss your hearing dates.
Lastly, check on the bond capacity of your possible bails bond agents. Engage bails bondmen that have no bond limit so that they can pay out your bail money regardless of its magnitude. They are better off than those with restrictions. Learn more about bail bonds now.

Die Betriebssportgemeinschaft der Deutschen Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken Posen war ein Sportverein aus Posen.

Geschichte
Die BSG DWM Posen wurde 1940 gegründet. Ab 1941 nahm der Verein an der neu gegründeten Gauliga Wartheland teil und wurde hinter DSC Posen Zweiter in der Gruppe 1. Im folgenden Jahr gelang mit nur einer Niederlage im gesamten Saisonverlauf in der mittlerweile zu einer Staffel zusammengefügten Liga die Meisterschaft. Damit qualifizierte sich der Klub für die Endrunde um die deutsche Meisterschaft 1942/43, scheiterte dort jedoch in der Vorrunde an SG Ordnungspolizei Warschau. Nach einer Umbenennung in SGDW Posen (Sportgemeinschaft Deutsche Waffen) gelang in der folgenden Spielzeit erneut mit nur einer Niederlage die Titelverteidigung. Abermals schied die Mannschaft in der Meisterschaftsendrunde in ihrem ersten Spiel aus, als der Vertreter der Sportbereichsklasse Niederschlesien STC Hirschberg die Posener mit 7:0 zu deklassieren vermochte. Neben den Meisterschaftsendrundenteilnahmen konnte die Mannschaft auch eine Teilnahme im Pokal verbuchen. Auch im Tschammerpokal 1943 konnte jedoch kein Sieg gelingen, gegen den VfB Königsberg verlor sie mit 0:4. 1945 wurde der Verein aufgelöst.

Битва в районе Ангрена — ряд боевых столкновений между различными группами басмачей, выступавших за независимость Туркестана с одной стороны и группой курсантов-ленинцев с другой, происходивших в районе кишлака Аблык в долине реки Ангрен.

В городе Ангрене в городском парке находится обелиск на могиле курсантов с их именами.

Историческая справка
C 24 июня по 13 сентября 1923 года сводный отряд 4-я Ташкентской объединённой имени В. И. Ленина командной школы в составе кавалерийского эскадрона с пулеметным взводом пулеметной роты, а также сводная курсантская рота пехоты совместно с гарнизонами Аулие́-Ата (Джамбул) и Бричмуллы приняли участие в боях с басмаческими формирований курбаши Баястана в районах кишлаков Аблык и Бричмуллы и долины реки Чаткал.

Летом 1923 г. мы, наконец, смогли начать работу ботанической станции в Чимгане: были получены сведения из штаба Туркфронта, что угроза со стороны басмачества миновала. …
…
В течение лета нам пришлось пережить в Чимгане несколько тревожных дней и ночей: как-то из Бурчмуллы прискакал гонец с сообщением, что у моста Имам-Хан-Куприк выше впадения в Чаткал речки Ак-Булак скопляется банда басмачей, которая намеревается прорваться через каньон Чаткал в Бурчмуллу и Чимган. Небольшая группа красноармейцев (человек восемь) задерживает басмачей на узкой тропе между речкой Худай-Дод и мостом, необходимо экстренно вызывать помощь из Ташкента. От Чимгана до Ташкента 86 километров, ни телеграфа, ни телефона тогда не было. До революции связь поддерживалась гелиографом, то есть системой зеркал, направляющих пучок солнечного света на Ташкентскую астрономическую обсерваторию. Зеркала были найдены, и на вершине «Красной горки» засверкала азбука Морзе. К счастью, она была замечена на обсерватории, и из Ташкента сообщили, что кавалерийский отряд с пулемётами отправляется немедленно. …
…
Помощь была послана и в Бурчмуллу, но главные силы (человек 50) должны были обойти Большой Чимган и, пройдя по долине речки Ак-Булак, выйти к Имам-Хан-Куприку, ударить басмачам в тыл и уничтожить банду. Так и было сделано.

Подробности боёв

Бой за перевал Аира
27 июня 1923 года эскадрон командной школы, занял кишлак Аблык, в котором ранее располагался отряд басмачей. После этого силами кавалерийского разъездов, ведшего усиленную разведку, формирование противника численностью 40—50 человек, была обнаружена на перевале. Как показала разведка, это был один из отрядов противника, прикрывавший дорогу к району основного расположения его сил. Басмачи, упорно оборонявшие перевал, старались не допустить продвижения основных сил Красной Армии к месту дислокации основных сил курбаши Баястана.

В этом бою, в котором кавалерийским отрядом курсантов командовал Матвиенко, наиболее мужественно дрались пулемётчики пулеметного взвода И. Турикова курсанты А. Мурашкин и И. Проскурин. Благодаря их грамотным и решительным действиям, а также их меткой стрельбе был обеспечен успех атаки на перевал. Захват перевала, обеспечил эскандрону дальнейшее ведение разведки и наблюдения за подступами, ведущими к кишлаку Аблык, в котором находился противник..

Бой у кишлака Аблык
17 июля эскадрону была поставлена новая задача — Аулиеатинский и Бричмуллинский отряды курсантской школы должны были выйти в район Чаткальской долины и соединиться с кавэскадроном школы и объединенными силами, после чего разгромить формирование курбаши Баястана в районе Идрис-Пайгамбар.

Однако, при выдвижении курсантов в долины рек Терс и Чаткал на соединение с другими подразделениями Туркфронта противнику удалось выставить сильные заслоны и задержать продвижение красноармейских отрядов. В результате им не удалось в усказанные сроки выйти в район Идрис-Пайгамбар на соединение с эскадроном школы. Более того, своими основными силами курбаши Баястан попытался окружить и уничтожить кавэскадрон курсантской школы. В случае успеха он получал оперативный простор для своих дальнейших действий в этом районе.

Находясь в численном меньшинстве и не рассчитывая на поддержку извне, эскадрон курсантской школы в течение четырех дней в условиях полного окружения вел успешный оборонительный бой с противником. К концу третьх суток боев командиром эскадрона Авдеев было принято решение прорваться через кольцо окружения и выйти к кишлаку Аблык.

Подвиг курсантов-пулемётчиков
Трое курсантов-пулемётчиков В. Гладков, А. Мурашкин и И. Проскурин остались прикрывать отход эскадрона. Попытки противника помешать эскадрону переправиться через реку Терс (Теркелисай) были отбиты метким огнём пулеметчиков, что дало возможность основным силам эскадрона курсантской школы успешно переправиться через горную реку.

Во время этого боя курсанты Мурашкин и Проскурин были ранены, но продолжали вести стрельбу. Они последними покинули свои позиции, но, обессиленные непрерывными четырехдневными боями, они не смогли оторваться от преследующей их конницы противника. После жестоких пыток курсанты В. Гладков, А. Мурашкин и И. Проскурин были убиты. Их тела впоследствии были найдены и похоронены с воинскими почестями на окраине Ангрена.

Памятник героям в Ангрене
14 ноября в 1964 году по инициативе командования и политотдела училища имени В. И. Ленина, местных органов власти в городе Ангрене был открыт памятник курсантам Ленинского училища А. Белову, В. Гладкову, А. Мурашкину, И. Проскурину и М. Панфилову.

Scientists Launch Groundbreaking Study on Health Risks of Microplastics in Seafood
Scientists Launch Groundbreaking Study on Health Risks of Microplastics
Each year, 8 million tons of plastic leaches into our oceans. That trash is inadvertently consumed by fish and other marine life, thus impacting the larger food chain. In fact, studies have already found that sea salt can be rich in plastic and that we likely consume the tiny bits that get embedded in many types of seafood.
Despite the pervasiveness of plastic, not much is known about how consuming it affects human health.
Now, BBC News reports, Indonesian scientists have launched the largest-ever study on the health risks of microplastic contamination in seafood. Indonesia happens to be the second-largest ocean plastic polluter behind China.
For the study, the researchers will track the diets of 2,000 people over a period of 2-4 weeks in the industrial port city of Semarang, where residents tend to eat a lot of seafood.
During a research trip to fish farms on the coast near Semarang, the researchers observed that nearly every species tested, including the majority of mullet, shrimp and milkfish, contained some plastic particles. Tilapia had the highest concentration, with 85 percent of those tested containing plastic. Cockles had the lowest amount, with 52 percent.
BBC News noted that the goal of the study is to understand how much plastic is contained in seafood, how much of it people eat and whether there is a safe level of consumption.
The study is led by food technologist Inneke Hantoro of Soegijapranata Catholic University.
Hantoro explained to BBC News that just because there is a lack of research in this area, "we cannot let the situation run as usual because we know consumers are starting to be aware of the presence of plastics—it will make them worry, so we need to do something."
Until a definitive safety standard for plastic consumption is available, Hantoro and her team hope to create some "interim guidance."
"We could propose a food safety standard to remove seafood that contains a very high level of microplastics from the market—people don't want to buy something that contains plastic," she added.

It is Friday and time for a new Playing in Paradise Challenge at Scrapbooker's Paradise. A huge thank you to everyone who entered our challenge last week! I loved seeing your creations using something new.
This week we would like to welcome the talented Linda to the team. Linda is hosting this time around and she has chosen 'A Place in Time' for the theme. So, we would love to see your projects that capture a special moment that you cherish or a time that you are looking forward to.
Our challenges are open to everyone and there are no product limits or requirements to enter. All you have to do to link up is create a new project following the theme.
Last summer we booked a Hawaii get away and I have been soooooooo looking forward to it ever since. For this challenge, I made a journal to take along and record all the special moments on our trip.
The journal is made from scratch using 8.5x11 card, folded in half and stitched together. The cover is made of chipboard and covered with beautiful papers and die cuts from the Tropicana line by Kaiser Craft.
The beautiful images are also part of the Tropicana line. I wanted to create distressed punched frames for them. However, distressing a delicate punched edge usually causes it to break and I wanted to keep it intact. The answer - TH Kraft Glassine. Punch your border, then crumple and ink. It creates a beautiful distressed look, but is very strong and durable, so it does not break and tear.
Vanilla card, needle & thread, chipboard, Tropicana DP, die cuts and letter/number stickers by Kaiser Craft, hemp twine and wood beads knotted to look like a fishing net and floaters, sea shell & starfish buttons, MS punch around the page, TH kraft glassine, paper doily, Distress inks.
If you haven't already, pop by the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog to get inspired by the beautiful creations the rest of the design team has made. I hope you will join in our challenge this week. As always, there is a fab prize up for grabs. I'm looking forward to seeing your projects featuring your special place in time.
Thanks for popping by and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I am still having problems with my internet connection, so I am really behind on comments. However, I very much appreciate your comments and will get caught up with visiting as soon as I get my internet back.
What a BEAUTIFUL journal Dawn! I just love all the wonderful details you have put into it. The hemp fish net is pure genius! It will be a wonderful memento of your trip!
Wow, Dawn, what an awesome project! It's beautiful in its softness. Just the views are inspirational - perfect setting for a journal. Love the twine, too.
What a beautiful project Dawn. I love the colour combination and all the fantastic details.
This is lovely...beautiful paper choices and incorporation of embellishments!
So beautiful and exotic looking! Love the usage of the shells!
Fabulous project Dawn and a brilliant way to remember your trip.
Oh myyyyyyy.. This project is amazing with all details and style!!
Awesome tip on the glassine - love how it looks! And the collage is amazing - those shell buttons are so cool.


Cooking for the Gang: CHOCOLATE SELF SAUCING PUDDING - SO EASY TO MAKE!
Okay, I know this is a naughty recipe but it is one that I need to share. It is a recipe that I have been making for about 20 years now. I haven't met anyone that has tried it and hasn't liked it,,, (well except for my chocolate hating son that is lol).
This is quite a rich chocolate recipe and you certainly don't need a huge serve. I usually serve up one big spoonful per person with a generous scoop of icecream. The icecream tones down the richness of it and makes it oh so good!!!
Come on, give it a go, just once, it is pretty cheap to make and you don't even need eggs which is perfect if you are like me and frequently run out lol. Sometimes I even just mix it straight in the casserole dish it is going to bake in (as I did this time), I didn't bother to grease the dish, I just threw the ingredients in and mixed them up. Some days I have seen enough dishes and I like to cheat and cut down as much as humanly possible!
This recipe was one I ripped out of a "That's Life" magazine many moons ago. It was submitted by a Victorian lady by the name of Lauren Handcock, she mentioned she had made it countless times and I can proudly say that I have too. It is so fast and simple to whip up and can easily be doubled to cater for extras.
Preheat oven to a 180 degrees.
Heat the butter and milk over a low heat.
Stir until the butter melts, add the Vanilla and mix well.
Sift the Sugar, Flour and Cocoa into a bowl.
Add the butter/milk mixture and beat well with a wooden spoon.
Sprinkle cocoa and brown sugar over the surface of the mixture.
Carefully pour the hot water over the top.
Instead of icecream, it also tastes great if you sprinkle the pudding with a little icing sugar and accompany it with a dollop of cream topped with a light sprinkle of cinnamon,,,,,YUM!
The single recipe will easily serve 4 people a fairly large serving. I doubled the recipe this time when I made it as I wanted left overs but out of this casserole dish I have 9 serves of the size you see with the icecream.

Louise Scholes is on the editorial board of the International Small Business Journal and is currently a Reader in Entrepreneurship at Loughborough University London. Louise is also the Programme Director for MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management.
Louise's main research interests include family firms and their characteristics, and management buyouts and their consequences. Her teaching and research covers corporate entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship in established organisations including family firms.
After completing a PhD in Radiation Chemistry from Brunel University, Louise joined DiverseyLever and spent 10 years in research and development creating new animal medicines. Following an MBA at Nottingham University she rejoined the education sector and has since worked for Nottingham, Durham and Loughborough business Schools. At Durham and Nottingham Louise taught a diverse range of business-related topics such as corporate entrepreneurship, corporate governance, venture capital and private equity, business statistics, and Information Technology to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Louise's main research interest is family firms. This form of business makes up a majority of firms in the world and is fascinating because family involvement in the ownership and governance of the firm influences the path the firm takes, and ultimately determines the longevity of the business. The family and their desires have a huge impact on the firm, something that is, of course, absent from non-family firms. The influence of family is often positive but not always and my focus is to understand more about the impact of family on outcomes such as entrepreneurship, innovation, performance in general, and even longer term-survival.
Louise is affiliated to the Enterprise Research Centre and the Centre for Management Buy-out Research. She is also a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Stoke Woods Action Group, a commuinty project set up to care for and maintain a small wood in Nottinghamshire.
Louise has also been a consulting editor for the International Small Business Journal and is now on their editorial board.

Arizona Cardinals Considering Coaching Change
Alex McKinnon January 08, 2023 Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals' nightmare season will come to a merciful end today against the San Francisco 49ers, but its consequences are just beginning. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, owner Michael Bidwell has begun his homework on head coaching candidates.
Over the past few weeks, #AZCardinals owner Michael Bidwill has done homework on coaching candidates. But it's not entirely evident that a change is coming.
Story from me and @TomPelissero: https://t.co/OIbIdZiAtu
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 8, 2023
That does not bode well for current head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury was somewhat of a surprise hire in the first place, given his youth at the time (40 years old), total lack of experience in the pros, and 35-40 record at Texas Tech. He did, however, coach Patrick Mahomes for three seasons in college, so that's apparently worth something.
Still, Kingsbury hasn't been an outright disaster in four seasons with the Cardinals. They showed steady progress after bottoming out at 3-13 the year before he arrived, climbing to 5-10-1 in 2019, then 8-7 in 2020, then 11-6 last year.
Unfortunately for Kingsbury, that progress came to a screeching halt this season. The Cardinals enter today's game against the 49ers with a 4-12 record and their franchise passer Kyler Murray ailing from a torn ACL that could cost him time next season. Simply put, the Cardinals and their fanbase need a reason to hope. A change at the top could go a long way.

Senate GOP expected to force vote on Green New Deal in March
By Jordain Carney - 03/13/19 07:24 PM EDT
Senate Republicans will bring the Green New Deal resolution to the floor as they try to jam Democrats on the progressive proposal.
Sen. John Cornyn John CornynKoch network could target almost 200 races in 2020, official says Seven things to know about the Trump trial New Parnas evidence escalates impeachment witnesses fight MORE (R-Texas), a member of Senate GOP leadership, said that he expected Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellPoll shows Collins displaces McConnell as most unpopular senator Hill.TV's Saagar Enjeti on impeachment: 'CNN can see through this nonsense' Trump says impeachment trial should move 'very quickly' MORE (R-Ky.) would bring the resolution up for a vote the week of March 25, when the Senate returns from its one-week recess.
"That's my understanding," he said.
Sen. Roy Blunt Roy Dean BluntRoberts sworn in to preside over Trump impeachment trial Senate opens Trump impeachment trial Seven things to know about the Trump trial MORE (R-Mo.), another member of GOP leadership, said he also thought the proposal would be brought up for a vote that week.
A spokesman for McConnell said he didn't have an announcement on timing for the Senate's vote but that the GOP leader has said it will take place during the upcoming work period.
The Senate is expected to leave town by Friday for a one-week recess. They'll then return on March 25 and remain until April 12, when they'll leave for two weeks.
The Green New Deal, which strives for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the United States while creating millions of "good, high-wage jobs," has zero chance of passing in the Senate, where it needs 60 votes to advance.
But Republicans have seized on the Green New Deal, spearheaded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Alexandria Ocasio-CortezAyanna Pressley's 'squad' of congresswomen offers support after she opens up about alopecia Here are the 10 senators who voted against Trump's North American trade deal Artist paints Michelle Obama, other women as battered in campaign against domestic violence MORE (D-N.Y.), as they hunt for fodder for the 2020 presidential election; several Senate Democrats are vying for their party's nomination.
McConnell blasted the progressive proposal from the Senate floor earlier Wednesday, calling it an example of "garden-variety 20th-century socialism."
"Our Democratic colleagues have taken all the debunked philosophies of the last hundred years, rolled them into one giant package, and thrown a little green paint on them to make them look new. But there's nothing remotely new about a proposal to centralize control over the economy and raise taxes on the American people to pay for it," he said.
Democrats have blasted McConnell, arguing that he's trying to "troll" them and dodge a broader debate on climate change policy. Several have suggested they will vote present on the Green New Deal resolution to try to dodge the GOP leader's political trap.
They're also trying to turn the tables on McConnell.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer Charles (Chuck) Ellis SchumerSchumer votes against USMCA, citing climate implications Senators are politicians, not jurors — they should act like it GOP senator: 2020 candidates must recuse themselves from impeachment trial MORE (D-N.Y.) and Democrats are rolling out a litany of measures meant to let them go on offense on climate change. Among their targets is a the defunding of a Trump administration panel meant to counter the scientific community on climate change.
"Why are our Republican friends so silent on this, perhaps the major issue of our day? History is not going to look kindly on them when it looks back. What are they afraid of, the oil industry?" Schumer said from the Senate floor earlier this week. "What are they afraid of, the facts? What are they afraid of, right-wing orthodoxy often funded by the Koch brothers who don't want to admit climate change? Shame, shame."

Texas Legislature Reverses Course On Immigration Laws
By David Martin Davies / News Director
Published January 9, 2013 at 8:35 AM PST
via Trey Martinez Fischer on Facebook
Texas Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer is chair of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus.
A figurative memo went out to Texas Republican lawmakers -- introduce no bills that will embarrass the party with Latino voters.
The Texas legislature convened in Austin on Tuesday. The lawmakers gather once every two years. And in regard to cracking down on illegal immigration, the political pendulum swing is certainly in evidence this time around.
In January 2011, Governor Rick Perry gave the traditional opening remarks to the 82nd Texas legislature and he made it clear: He wanted a crackdown on illegal immigration. "We must abolish sanctuary cities in Texas," he said.
Perry told the lawmakers he was making an anti-sanctuary cities law an emergency item. He wanted a Texas version of Arizona's SB 1070. Perry wanted police officers checking the immigration status of anyone they suspected wasn't properly authorized to be in the country.
"We need to free up our peace officers to do their job keeping our families and neighborhoods safe. Immigration laws and their enforcement are the responsibility of the federal government we cannot compound their failure by preventing Texas peace officers from doing their jobs," Perry said two years ago.
Despite Perry's push and the Republican majorities in both Texas Houses, the bill didn't pass. So now fast forward two years later -- there's the 83rd Texas legislature and Perry has another crack at passing a Texas SB 1070-type bill and … nada. What was an emergency two years ago is off the radar today. It didn't get a mention in the governor's opening remarks.
"Turned out there was very little enthusiasm for that legislation," said Charles Foster, a Houston immigration attorney who was a consultant to both the Barack Obama and George W. Bush presidential campaigns. "I think there was over one hundred so called anti-immigrant/sanctuary cities bills filed last time and not a single one passed last time."
Foster said this time the Republican lawmakers have learned their lesson.
"Most of it was a complete waste of time to begin with because it was bound to be preempted by federal law and it turned out that was the case in U.S. vs Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled," he said.
And then there was that national election in November that sent shock waves through the Republican Party.
"Bush got 43 percent of the Hispanic vote. A much larger Hispanic vote today that was down to 27 percent for Governor Romney, but in the key toss up states like Colorado he was only getting 10 percent. So the handwriting is on the wall so unless the Republican Party can address these issues responsibly they are going to become a minority party in the state of Texas," Foster said.
So essentially a figurative memo went out to Texas Republican lawmakers -- introduce no bills that will embarrass the party with Latino voters.
But it's going to take more than that to repair the damage done to the GOP brand in Texas, according to Representative Trey Martinez Fischer. He's chair of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus.
"They believe in English-only. They think Texas should not have pre-K education for its children, 65 percent of pre-K children are Hispanic. They want to make it a crime to be in this country illegally, And they want to repeal the Dream Act. I don't think you can reach out to Hispanics if these are your values," Martinez Fischer said.
Martinez Fischer said the Texas Republicans are learning how to talk the talk, but they aren't willing to walk the walk when it comes to serving Latino voters.
However, there are a record number of Latino Republican lawmakers in the 83rd Legislature in Texas, and they might be able to lead the rest of their party in walking that walk.

This pretty pink tanga is soft on the eyes as well as the skin. Smooth, soft stretch fabric, embellished with ruffles and glistening threads, and trimmed in brilliant satin elastic around the waist, and delicate picot trim around the legs. With a full back and a dainty satin bow at waist. The soft fabric of this tanga is tie-dyed, so there is some variation in the color.


My life is far from perfect, but God's blessings in my life are.
I've been on my knees a lot this week. Please don't worry, it is mostly all gratitude, thankfulness and in great anticipation of what's coming with a few struggles mixed in. I have no idea what He has for me, but I know my Father, and it is going to be phenomenal.
… and my list continues, not in that order of course.
Those of you who are loving the pumpkin spice everything, the fall decorations, and the rain you might love me for quoting one of my favorite Christmas songs. I pray you lay your head tonight counting your blessings instead of sheep.

Be blessed my friends and know that whatever your trial, difficulty, pain or circumstance know we serve a Mighty God and He's got this. Whatever your "this" God has it and you!

Assurance report on the sustainability information 2020
Based on our procedures performed, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the sustainability information included in the annual report 2020 of SBM Offshore N.V. does not present, in all material respects, a reliable and adequate view of:
the policy and business operations with regard to corporate social responsibility; and
the thereto related events and achievements for the year ended 31 December 2020
in accordance with the Sustainability Reporting Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the applied supplemental reporting criteria as included in the section 'reporting criteria'.
What we have reviewed
We have reviewed the sustainability information included in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, as included in the following sections in the annual report (hereafter 'the sustainability information'):
Chapter 1: Business Environment;
Chapter 2: Performance Review & Impact;
Chapter 4.8: Scope of Non-financial Information;
Chapter 4.9: Reporting Boundaries;
Chapter 4.10: Non-financial Indicators;
Chapter 4.11: GRI Content Index; and
Chapter 4.12: Certification and Classification Tables.
The sustainability information comprises a representation of the policy and business operations of SBM Offshore N.V., Amsterdam with regard to sustainability and the thereto related business operations, events and achievements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The basis for our conclusion
We have performed our review in accordance with Dutch law, which includes the Dutch Standard 3810N 'Assuranceopdrachten inzake maatschappelijke verslagen' ('Assurance engagements on corporate social responsibility reports'), which is a specified Dutch Standard that is based on the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, 'Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information'. This review is aimed at obtaining a limited level of assurance. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the section 'Our responsibilities for the review of the sustainability information' of this assurance report.
We believe that the assurance evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
Independence and quality control
We are independent of SBM Offshore N.V. in accordance with the 'Verordening inzake de onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assuranceopdrachten' (ViO – Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect to independence) and other for the engagement relevant independence requirements in the Netherlands. Furthermore, we have complied with the 'Verordening gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants' (VGBA – Dutch Code of Ethics).
We apply the 'Nadere voorschriften kwaliteitssystemen' (NVKS – Regulations for quality systems) and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and other relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
Reporting criteria
The sustainability information needs to be read and understood in conjunction with the reporting criteria. The Management Board of SBM Offshore N.V. is solely responsible for selecting and applying these reporting criteria, taking into account applicable law and regulations related to reporting.
The reporting criteria used for preparation of the sustainability information are the Sustainability Reporting Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the internally applied reporting criteria, as disclosed in the sections 4.8 Scope of Non-Financial Information and 4.9 Reporting Boundaries of the Annual Report. The absence of an established practice on which to draw, to evaluate and measure non-financial information allows for different, but acceptable, measurement techniques and can affect comparability between entities and over time.
Limitations to the scope of our review
The sustainability information includes prospective information such as expectations on ambitions, strategy, plans, estimates and risk assessments. Inherently, the actual results are likely to differ from these expectations. These differences may be material. We do not provide any assurance on the assumptions and the achievability of prospective information in the sustainability information.
The links to external sources or websites included in the sustainability information are not part of the sustainability information itself, reviewed by us. We do not provide assurance over the information outside of this annual report.
Responsibilities for the sustainability information and the review
Responsibilities of the Management Board and Supervisory Board
The Management Board of SBM Offshore N.V. is responsible for the preparation of reliable and adequate sustainability information in accordance with the reporting criteria as included in the section 'reporting criteria', including the identification of stakeholders and the definition of material matters. The choices made by the Management Board regarding the scope of the sustainability information and the reporting policy are summarized in the sections 4.8 Scope of Non-Financial Information and 4.9 Reporting Boundaries of the Annual Report. The Management Board is responsible for determining that the applicable reporting criteria are acceptable in the circumstances.
The Management Board is also responsible for such internal control as the Management Board determines necessary to enable the preparation of the sustainability information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or errors.
The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing SBM Offshore N.V.'s reporting process on the sustainability information.
Our responsibilities for the review of the sustainability information
Our responsibility is to plan and perform the review engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate assurance evidence to provide a basis for our conclusion.
Procedures performed to obtain a limited level of assurance are aimed to determine the plausibility of information and vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent, than for a reasonable assurance engagement. The level of assurance obtained in review engagements is therefore substantially less than the assurance obtained in audit engagements.
We have exercised professional judgement and have maintained professional scepticism throughout the review, in accordance with the Dutch Standard 3810N, ethical requirements and independence requirements.
Our procedures included amongst others:
Performing an analysis of the external environment and obtaining insight into relevant social themes and issues, relevant laws and regulations and the characteristics of SBM Offshore N.V.
Evaluating the appropriateness of the reporting criteria used, their consistent application and related disclosures in the sustainability information. This includes the evaluation of the results of the stakeholders' dialogue and the reasonableness of estimates made by the Management Board.
Obtaining and understanding of the reporting processes for the sustainability information, including obtaining a general understanding of internal control relevant to our review.
Identifying areas of the sustainability information with a higher risk of misleading or unbalanced information or material misstatement, whether due to fraud or errors. Designing and performing further assurance procedures aimed at determining the plausibility of the sustainability information responsive to this risk analysis. These procedures consisted amongst others of:
Interviewing management and relevant staff at corporate and business level responsible for the sustainability strategy, policy and results;
Interviewing relevant staff responsible for providing the information for, carrying out internal control procedures on, and consolidating the data in the sustainability information.
Determining the nature and extent of the review procedures for the group components and locations. For this, the nature, extent and/or risk profile of these components are decisive. Based thereon we selected the components and locations to visit. The visit to the head office in the Netherlands is aimed at, on a local level, validating source data and evaluating the design and implementation of internal controls and validation procedures;
Obtaining assurance evidence that the sustainability information reconciles with underlying records of the company;
Reviewing, on a limited test basis, relevant internal and external documentation;
Performing an analytical review of the data and trends in the information submitted for consolidation at corporate level.
Reconciling the relevant financial information with the financial statements.
Evaluating the consistency of the sustainability information with the information in the annual report, which is not included in the scope of our review.
Evaluating the presentation, structure and content of the sustainability information;
To consider whether the sustainability information as a whole, including the disclosures, reflects the purpose of the reporting criteria used.
We communicate with the Supervisory Board on the planned scope and timing of the engagement and on the significant findings that result from our engagement.

GLOBAL MEDIA POST / Los Angeles report 2020
AKT Trading: Growing Asian food culture in the U.S.
GLOBAL MEDIA POST
Many small- and medium-size food and beverage companies, particularly in Japan, have taken notice of a promising opportunity in the growing market for Asian food around the world, including in the United States, where the population of Asians continues to increase.
Based in Torrance in Los Angeles County, AKT Trading Inc. has introduced many products that satisfy Americans' craving for Japanese food across the country.
"This has always been my dream: to further serve as a bridge between the two cultures," said AKT Trading Inc. President Akikazu Kimura, who aims to become a behind-the-scenes ambassador for Japanese food in the United States.
Starting out as a wholesaler and importer to Japanese grocery chains in the United States, AKT now also distributes assorted imported USDA Organic Asian food products through mainstream grocery chains across the United States and sells various non-food products via the online retail giant Amazon.com.
Kimura stressed that AKT Trading's partnership with logistics company Nippon Express, via its Cross-border EC Express Service, allowed his business to establish a reputation as a reliable importer and supplier of more than 100 non-food products via Japan Global Network, its store on Amazon.com only in the U.S.
Looking toward the future, AKT Trading hopes to play a prominent and active role in promoting nutritional food and healthy eating habits.
"We need more education on how Japanese food is beneficial to one's health, especially in the U.S. market," said Kimura, who wants to expand his distribution market from just over 100 outlets to 1,000 outlets in the next few years and help other Japanese entrepreneurs wanting to enter the American market.
"A lot of Japanese companies are conservative. But to succeed here, you need to be more aggressive and AKT Trading can serve as the gateway and platform to do so," he added.

"Phantom of the Theatre"
"Phantom of the Opera," a novel by Gaston Leroux, was serialized in France between 1909 and 1910, and published in book form later in 1910. A tale of demented love between a beautiful young singer and a scarred musical genius hiding in the bowels of the Paris Opera House, it's inspired several film versions, notably the 1925 silent classic starring Lon Chaney Sr., stage adaptations, and at least two musicals, including the world-famous Andrew Lloyd Webber version that spawned its own film.

When director Seijun Suzuki, 44 years old in 1967, turned in his film "Branded to Kill" to his employer— Nikkatsu Motion Picture Company promptly fired him. He didn't direct again for 10 years.

Straight outta' Portland, Sock It to Me socks keep your feet looking fresh (even if they smell funky)!
You wake up one morning and go outside. You find your front lawn is now filled with gnomes. It's a gnome invasion! You've heard of being flocked, but this is a whole new level (were they invited by their flamingo friends?). This lawn party arrived en grasse and you're going to need more than a lawn mower to get rid of them.


We are delighted to announce that we have appointed three grantees to work with us on our 'Tools and approaches' project. We had 35 great responses to our previous EOI. Our chosen grantees include MMI Engineering, the Schumacher Institute and Dr Igor Linkov.
Attending events is often fun and a great way to keep in touch with what other people are doing. After all, breaking 'siloed' thinking is one of the keys to success for resilience. We were delighted therefore to attend the Lloyd's Register Foundation (LRF) conference 'Bringing Safety to Life', held at the IET in London in the second week of May. Xavi reports on a day well-spent.
EOI Response – Thank you!
We were excited to receive 35 expressions of interest, in response to our recent call for partners to work with us to create a repository of tools and approaches related to infrastructure resilience. On behalf of the Resilience Shift team, I'd like to thank all those that responded.


Even though the economic situation of today is a fluctuating one and often changing, all companies should remind themselves that promotional items are very beneficial, especially when trying to increase profit levels, which is the ultimate goal for every company, business, or organisation.
Many companies have realised that printed notepads come with several benefits. When printed notepads are used as promotional items a business' name, brand and logo are seen by anyone who uses the notepad. The notepads are very useful items, especially since they can be used to carry out daily business functions. Printed notepads are cheap and can be purchased in many different designs and styles.
Our company can help any business decide what type of printed notepad will best fit their needs and wants. When handing out the printed notepads as promotional items many consumers love using the notepads and hang on to them until the paper runs out. The longer consumers use promotional items the longer they are reminded of the business they obtained the notepad from.
Printed notepads can even be customised so that a company can receive all designs they want incorporating into their printed notepads. Our company offers printed notepads with excellent designs and are made out of high-quality paper. These designs come from you and can only be limited by your imagination and inspiration for your company's branding. Consumers feel special when they receive printed notepads and also love using the notepads during their daily activities.
There are many companies who use printed notepads as an effective marketing tool. Since printed notepads can be used on a daily basis they should always be handed out as a promotional item for any type of business activity or event. As consumers write something on printed notepads they usually take the time to read any business contact information that has been printed.
Using printed notepads in an office make them very effective and beneficial office materials. Office workers can write reminders on the printed pieces of paper and hand them out to clients and/or potential clients. The more pieces of printed paper that are handed out the more a business will be advertising their brand and logo.
Printed notepads should always be remembered as an effective promotional tool, and all businesses should remember our company can help them acquire printed notepads that are cost efficient for them.

The notion that any physical quantity is defined and measured relative to a reference frame is traditionally not explicitly reflected in the theoretical description of physical experiments where, instead, the relevant observables are typically represented as 'absolute' quantities. However, the emergence of the resource theory of quantum reference frames as a new branch of quantum information science in recent years has highlighted the need to identify the physical conditions under which a quantum system can serve as a good reference. Here we investigate the conditions under which, in quantum theory, an account in terms of absolute quantities can provide a good approximation of relative quantities. We find that this requires the reference system to be large in a suitable sense.

A: As email contain the email string, this for em in email iterates over the email letters, also it's better to handle files using with statement, so they close properly
di = {}
with open(name) as handle:
    for line in handle:
        if line.startswith('From '):
            line = line.rstrip()
            words = line.split()
            email = words[1]
            di[email] = di.get(email, 0) + 1
            print(di)

You can also use a Conuter that is made for counting things
from collections import Counter
di = Counter()
with open(name) as handle:
    for line in handle:
        if line.startswith('From '):
            line = line.rstrip()
            words = line.split()
            email = words[1]
            di.update([email])

A: Mistakes
I made a few mistakes:

*

*I did not store the extracted data into a list

*I swapped the positions of key, value

name = input("Enter file:")
if len(name) < 1 : name = "mbox-short.txt"
handle = open(name)

di = {}
for line in handle:
    if line.startswith('From '): #I forgot the space while the first trial
        line = line.rstrip()
        words = line.split()
        email = list()
        # it should use list to store the email otherwise the loop would treat extracted data as a massive string
        email.append(words[1])
        for em in email:
            di[em] = di.get(em, 0) + 1
        # print(di)
largest = -1
prolific_em = None
for k,v in di.items():
    if v > largest :
        largest = v
        prolific_em = k
print(prolific_em, largest)

for you + for me
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
make your career fairy tale come true
At this point in time, you know that something is amiss in your career. It could hurt a little or it could hurt a lot, but you can't really say what you want to do about how you feel.
All you know is that you're fantasizing about your new life which involves a long, long vacation, maybe winning the lottery, and hopefully never needing to work again. But you're also reasonable enough to know that fantasizing isn't going to help with the reality that you're living.
Even if your fantasy life comes true eventually, you're going to need to do something with your time and that involves working between now and then. And you're on the brink of getting ready to do something, but you could really use some insight and information that considers where you're at and what's possible for you.
Basically, you're in a space where you want to know how to know if you're making the right decision about how to sort out your career. You want to know how you can proceed to answer the dilemma of your career before you make, commit to, and proceed with a plan. You've noticed that your thinking could use some direction, calm, strategy, and even a bit of kindness.
And there's wisdom in that.
Answers to how you approach your career moves are nuanced depending on what you take issue with about your career now, what context you're making career decisions in with regard to what else you have going on in your life, and what you'd like the outcome of your efforts to be. Careers take time to transition so when you have a lot of thoughts but no direction, you need clarity.
At this stage, it's very useful, at the very least, to:
Acquire the right words to describe your dilemma (to appeal to the right kind of help);
Know what your options are (how long they take, what's expected from you, and the anticipated costs); and
Design a strategy or two (that may involve different tiers and not a linear timeline) to achieve what you want.
And this is what I can help you with.
If you're interested in giving some direction to your career questioning based on your preferences, needs, and considerations, you can book a 75 minute, no further obligation, fireside (not literally) career conversation with me.
The introductory special for this service is: $100 CAD
If you'd like to book this service with me here are the process details:
Click on the PayPal button below to make your reservation. Within two days, you'll receive an email from me to set up a mutually agreed upon time where we'll speak via Skype or phone depending on your location and hours of availability.
If you want, you are welcome to send an introductory email my way to share your story, your career path so far, what you think you want, and what's frustrating you about the path ahead.
You don't have to but now, at least, you know what my initial questions are.
All sessions and information transmissions are strictly confidential.

We are an internationally oriented, cultural institution functioning on a public service basis.
Our primary concern is the promotion and support of contemporary trends in jewelry as well as in metal hollow- and flatware design. Providing young gold- and silversmiths with a forum for the general public through competitions, exhibitions, and publications is one of our most important objectives.
We promote the awareness and acceptance of art jewelry as well as limited edition production or classic one-of-a-kind jewelry. In the meantime, contemporary jewelry and silverware have become coveted collectors' items. A special venue for exhibitions is offered by the Hanau museum, the German Goldsmiths' House, which has been under the direction of the Association for Goldsmiths' Art since April 1, 2006.


"When I was 6 years old, I lost my left arm in an accident. My disability became an opportunity instead of a deterrent due to the support and encouragement of my family. My father enrolled me in school even though at the time, women in my region were not usually allowed to complete their education. I am proud to have been in the first batch of Aga Khan Higher Secondary School, Hunza.
While working for the Aga Khan Foundation, I was selected for a DFID and Aga Khan funded scholarship to the UK. I completed my Masters at the University of East Anglia Norwich and am grateful for the education I received. Studying in the UK was beyond what I had imagined. The unique teaching style motivated me to learn on my own. Instead of trying to get the best grades, I focused on learning and understanding things. During that year, I consulted so many books and libraries because I had the urge to learn more.
The university exposed me to new experiences and gave me the confidence to voice my concerns when I felt something was wrong. I got a chance to put this in action after I returned to Pakistan and started working. When I was passed over for a promotion and a male colleague was selected to head my department, I realised that the organisation did not have a selection criteria and simply had a bias against women. I told the senior management that the promotion should have gone through a proper recruitment process. They re-advertised the position and I was successful in getting promoted. I credit my UK education for giving me the courage to stand up for equality at my workplace.
In the UK, I never felt different. People were sensitive towards my disability and I never experienced discrimination because of it. Many of my friends couldn't complete their education because they got married. I feel very fortunate that despite all the challenges, I have found success and now I have an opportunity and responsibility to help people in need."
