Malaysia is a magnet for migrants and asylum seekers despite its poor human rights record and failure to ratify key human rights treaties. Illegal entry and stay is criminalized and migrants often serve prison sentences before being transferred to one of twelve "immigration depots" while awaiting deportation. Caning, a legacy of British colonial rule, is widespread. In 2013, more than 5,000 foreigners were caned.
One of the more vibrant economies of southeast Asia, Malaysia is a magnet for migrants and asylum seekers despite its poor human rights record and failure to ratify key human rights treaties. All unauthorized foreigners, including Rohingyas fleeing Myanmar, are considered "illegal" or "prohibited" immigrants under the Immigration Act. Immigration detention in Malaysia includes various unique and brutal features such as caning and detention aboard vessels.
Illegal entry and stay in Malaysia is criminalized and migrants often serve time in prisons before being transferred to one of the twelve administrative "immigration depots" while awaiting deportation. Caning, a legacy of British colonial rule, remains a judicial punishment for criminal offences in the Malaysian Criminal Procedure Code. It was introduced in the Immigration Act in 2002 to deter unlawful migration. According to the Home Minister, 8,481 prisoners were caned in 2013, of whom 5,968 were non-citizens. Denounced as a form of torture by Amnesty International and as "anachronistic and inconsistent with a compassionate society in a developed nation" by the national Bar Association, it is applied to adult males between 18 and 50 years old and leaves permanent physical and mental scars.
Some 68,000 people were placed in immigration detention in 2013 according to the local press including mainly Burmese, Indonesians, and Bangladeshis. The national human rights institution, SUHAKAM, reported that 1,406 children were detained in detention centres (immigration depots) from January to October 2013. Section 34(1) of the Immigration Act provides that persons may be detained for "such period as may be necessary" pending removal. Immigration detainees generally spend between two months and two years in detention.
Procedural standards are reportedly very poor. Immigration detainees are rarely informed of the reasons for detention in a language they understand and they have scant access to legal counsel. There are no alternatives to immigration detention. Some UNHCR refugee cardholders detained in immigration depots can be released subject to the government's discretion but the UN refugee agency only has access to them after they are transferred to the depots from prisons where they first serve immigration related sentences.
The Malaysian Passport Act empowers immigration and police officers to "lawfully detain" persons unlawfully entering Malaysia on board vessels during the period that the vessel is within Malaysia or the territorial waters thereof. However, no information about the frequency of the application of this measure appears to be available.

A Rolling Stones Anthology with a Bonus; Harpdog Brown, Chad Richard, Culture, Vegas Strip Kings, Johnny Shines
Burger, On the Record Columns Reviews
April 1, 2019 April 22, 2019 Jeff Burger0
by Jeff Burger
The first two discs of the Rolling Stones' new three-CD Honk collect highlights from nearly five decades of the group's catalog, starting with 1971's Sticky Fingers and continuing through 2016's Blue and Lonesome, an album of blues covers. (The ABKCO label controls the group's work from the 1960s, which is why you'll have to turn to the original LPs for that indispensable material or, if your budget is tight, to the excellent Singles Collection: The London Years.)
As for Honk, it offers an excellent 36-song snapshot of the period it covers. Most of the obvious candidates are here, including nearly a dozen U.S. Top 10 singles ("Brown Sugar," "Tumbling Dice," "Angie," "Fool to Cry," "Miss You," "Beast of Burden," "Emotional Rescue," "Start Me Up" "Undercover (of the Night)," "Harlem Shuffle," and "Mixed Emotions"). Aside from the few tracks from the aforementioned Blue and Lonesome and several that first surfaced on 2012's GRRR! anthology, most of the rest are radio staples that should also need no introduction, such as "Wild Horses," "Bitch," "Happy," "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)," and "Waiting on a Friend."
Of course, every fan is bound to find omissions to quibble about. (Yours truly would have thrown in a few more ballads, including "Moonlight Mile," "Till the Next Goodbye," "Time Waits for No One," and "Memory Motel.") But if you have to whittle the hundreds of songs in the post-ABKCO catalog down to three dozen, you could do worse than to wind up with the track list here.
The real question, however, is whether you ought to whittle at all. Many of the classic songs on Honk come from albums that are themselves classics, and it's easy to argue that any serious rock collector needs records like Exile on Main Street, Sticky Fingers, and Some Girls in their entirety, not just their highlights.
Note, though, that the three albums mentioned above all appeared in the 1970s and that Honk's program acknowledges that decade's dominance by including nearly as many tracks from it as from the next four decades put together. Some fans may want this anthology as a wallet-friendly way to hit the highlights of LPs from those later years, some of which are less consistently satisfying than the earlier work.
And Honk's nearly hour-long third disc includes a major additional carrot for those who already own much of the material from which CDs one and two were culled: 10 previously unreleased concert recordings, all from 2013 to 2018. These live tracks, which are invariably excellent, consist mostly of early gems like "Get Off My Cloud," "Let's Spend the Night Together," "She's a Rainbow," "Under My Thumb," "Wild Horses" (with Florence Welch), "Dead Flowers" (with Brad Paisley), and "Bitch" (with Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl). While the dominance of decades-old material on all three discs suggests that the Stones' songwriting heyday may have passed, these concert tracks demonstrate rather definitively that, more than half a century after they first gained prominence, these now-septuagenarian performers are as potent on stage as they've ever been.
BRIEFLY NOTED
Harpdog Brown, For Love & Money. Jazz and blues singer and harmonica player Harpdog Brown is based in British Columbia but sounds on this excellent album as if he has one foot in Chicago and the other in New Orleans. A terrific band provides backup on instruments ranging from clarinet and piano to saxophone and trombone. You'll find potent covers of vintage songs here, including Memphis Slim's "The Comeback" and Wynonie Harris's "Buzzard Luck," but the handful of new originals include some of the strongest material. Start with the horn- and clarinet-spiced "Reefer-Loving Woman," which Brown released on video (see below) to celebrate Canada's legalization of marijuana last October. If this isn't party music, I don't know what is.
Vegas Strip Kings, Jackpot. Here's another band whose music sometimes belies their hometown: as their name suggests, the Vegas Strip Kings hail from Nevada, but the best of their rootsy accordion and sax-flavored music, which employs elements of rockabilly and zydeco, screams "Tex Mex." When the group ventures into more traditional blues and rock, as they do on much of this album, they sound capable but relatively commonplace; but when they plant themselves around the Mexican border on songs like "Jesus on the Dash" and "Pawnbroker," they flirt successfully with the same recipe that has powered acts like the Texas Tornados.
Johnny Shines, Blues Came Falling Down. Blues singer and guitarist Johnny Shines, who died in 1992, was at the top of his game when he performed the well-recorded, previously unreleased 1973 St. Louis concert preserved here. The album, which incorporates Shines's spoken introductions to many of the songs, offers an excellent showcase for his country-blues acoustic guitar work and soulful vocals. Original material dominates the 20-track program, which also includes "Sweet Home Chicago," "I'm a Steady Rolling Man," and two other songs by Robert Johnson, Shines's biggest influence and his touring companion during the 1930s.
Culture, The Nighthawk Recordings. Culture aren't well known in the States—they rated just one track—"Two Sevens Clash," from 1977—on Tougher Than Tough, the definitive reggae anthology, and they issued only one album that came out in the U.S. The original group split up in 1981, but founding member Joseph Hill carried on, recording the self-penned material on this seven-track EP in 1981 and 1983, with backing by Roots Radics and the Wailers, respectively. The performances, some of them previously unreleased, feature snappy rhythms, excellent brass, and and vocal work that's on a par with that of such better known artists as Peter Tosh.
Chad Richard, Worthy Cause. Chad Richard (pronounced REE-shard) sure seems like star material on this instantly likable sophomore release. His gravelly, nuanced vocals are an emotive delight, especially counterpointed with the album's omnipresent violin work. The all-originals program, a mix of ballads and uptempo numbers, covers subjects ranging from fatherhood to marriage and divorce; and all of them seem heartfelt and beautifully crafted. If you like such artists as Tom Russell, John Prine, and Greg Brown, put this one on your must-hear list.

It was a quiet weekend around the 'Ville. Time to rest and recharge. I've been feeling overwhelmed and when that happens, it's hard to be creative. I feel fortunate that I have a pretty big posse of people I can draw energy from when the tank is getting low. I'm not talking about enablers; I'm talking about people who push me to be better, encourage me, and hold me accountable.
My Monday inspiration comes to you all the way from Paris and not Paris, TN; the real one in France! Frederic Lecoq was one of my partners-in-crime in Zimbabwe. You may remember him from my Things I Learned About Nature Photography post.
He's the one on the left!
Frederic sent out a link to his new website yesterday and I was like, "Damn, Fred! This sh** is amazing!" He served me up a big piece of humble pie.
The real inspiration here is not just his photography but the fact that photography is not his day job. He's a physician! Nothing more impressive than being around someone who uses all their brain; the right, the left, and all gray matter in between. I'm sure there are parts of my brain I haven't used in decades!
There is plenty of stress, ugliness, and negativity in the world. Even if that is something you have to deal with everyday, like the stress of being a physician, you can still turn around and find plenty of beauty and joy. You just have to go look for it. It doesn't hurt to have some friends along for the journey.
Gotta love me some Mark Twain!
More of Frederic's work at Frederic Lecoq.

Q: Create springboard like main view Is there some sample code, or an easy way, to implement an application with as its first view something like Springboard?
What I am looking for is just a view with basic icons which after a tab  on an icon tells the view-controller to push the view associated with the selected icon.
This in itself is not that difficult off-course (just putting images on a view), but is there an easy way to implement all the extra functionality as well (as e.g. moving the icons around (start 'vibrating' when when you push hold them), multiple pages etc.). The Facebook App seems to have this. It is probably not worth my while to write it myself, but it would be nice if there is something 'out of the box' to give the App a bit more of an iPhone feel.
Thanks in advance!

A: Facebook uses the Three20 library for its UI. The specific view used for the SpringBoard-like interface is known as TTLauncherView.

A: This is not an endorsement (I have yet to really check this out, and I may be too entrenched in using Three20 at this point to even bother), but here is another project that implements the springboard functionality: myLauncher on Github

A: You can use UICollectionView to create this
Look at this example

Councillor Rogers, the Right Worshipful the Mayor, proposed a motion, seconded by Councillor Beaver, and agreed unanimously as follows: -
RESOLVED that in order to facilitate full discussion on Cabinet's proposal for the corporate plan and any proposed amendment to cabinet's recommendations, Council suspends Rule 16.6(b) of Council Procedure Rules (only one amendment may be moved and discussed at any one time. No further amendment may be moved until the amendment under discussion has been disposed of) to permit the Deputy Leader's motion and all amendments to be on the table and open for discussion at the same time.
Councillor Patmore proposed an amendment to the draft Corporate Plan, seconded by Councillor Cooke, as follows: -
Expenditure Reduction
What we want for Hastings by 2019:
While seeking to generate income to help us meet our mission objectives the council will also set up an Expenditure reduction Board to help the council make difficult decisions on how to balance future budgets by reducing council spending and not having to use reserves. To do this we must make more savings throughout the organisation in a much shorter time-scale than previously anticipated.
What will we be doing?
· An Expenditure Reduction Board (made up of the leader of the council, leader of the opposition plus key executive officers) will be set up to look at all aspects of council expenditure and how efficiencies and reductions in spending can be made.
· We will make a pledge that for every net £1 of income generated by our Income Generation Policy we will have to save 50p of council expenditure until the council doesn't need to draw on reserves to balance the budget.
What challenges could we face?
· We need to make these changes quickly, which again will be a huge challenge for staff who are already fully committed to existing work.
· Reducing council spending and still providing core services the public expect the council to maintain.
· Making sure we have the resources to help the more vulnerable members of our community.
· Insufficient reductions implemented risking the council's future sustainability.
How can we overcome these challenges?
· The outcome of the council's strategic planning activity will be brought forward to reflect the urgency of the funding gap the council faces in the next three years.
· Staff reorganisation to ensure that key services are maintained.
· We will listen to the ideas of residents, staff and partners and reward ideas that save the council money.
· To work closely with the Income Generation Board so that we can meet the budget deficit from both sides.
The amendment was lost by 9 votes for, 21 against.
RESOLVED (by 22 votes for to 8 against, with 0 abstentions) that:-
1. The content of the documents attached to the Director of Corporate Services and Governance's report to Cabinet form the basis of the council's corporate plan 2017/18 – ... view the full minutes text for item 54.
Revenue Budgets 2016/17 (Revised) and 2017/18, Plus Capital Programme 2017/18 to 2019/20
Councillor Terri Dowling, having declared a prejudicial interest in this item, left the chamber during the debate on this matter.
Councillor Rogers, the Right Worshipful the Mayor, proposed a motion, seconded by Councillor Street, and agreed unanimously, as follows: -
RESOLVED – that in order to facilitate full discussion on Cabinet's proposal for the budget and any proposed amendments to Cabinet's recommendations; Council suspends Rule 16.6(b) of Council Procedure Rules (only one amendment may be moved and discussed at any one time. No further amendment may be moved until the amendment under discussion has been disposed of) to permit the Leader's motion and all amendments to be on the table and open for discussion at the same time.
Under rule 16.14 of the council's constitution, the Right Worshipful the Mayor proposed a motion, seconded by Councillor Beaver, that the Council proceed as if in committee at the start of the debate, in order for members to take advice from the Assistant Director, Financial Services and Revenues.
The Assistant Director, Financial Services and Revenues, introduced a revised budget report. He explained that the updated report took into account the revisions to budget agreed at Cabinet on 13 February 2017, precepts and the receipt of the final grant figures. The Disabled Facility Grant (DFG) and funding for Discretionary Housing Payments (DHP) were still awaited.
The Right Worshipful the Mayor proposed a motion that the council return to Full Council mode for the remainder of the debate, which was seconded by Councillor Beaver, and unanimously agreed.
Councillor Chowney proposed a motion, seconded by Councillor Poole, that minute number 71 of Cabinet on 13 February 2017 be approved, subject to the amendments set out by the Assistant Director, Financial Services and Revenues.
Councillor Lee proposed three amendments to the budget, seconded by Councillor Beaver, as follows: -
1. This council resolves not to use financial reserves to meet its budgetary requirements for the financial year2017/18 but to make reductions in expenditure to account for a shortfall in resources coming into the council. Amendments to staffing levels will be implemented. The total staffing reductions identified will be 13.55 FTE amounting to £524,650 in 2017/18, plus other savings of £113,510 (street games £15,510, transport budgets £18,000 and return on the proposed property fund £80,000) – combining a total saving of £638,160 in 2017/18.
The proposed amendment was lost by 9 votes for to 20 against with 0 abstentions. Councillor Atkins, Beaver, Martin Clarke, Lee Clark, Cooke, Edwards, Lee, Patmore and Rankin voted in favour of the amendment. Councillors Bacon, Batsford, Beaney, Cartwright, Chowney, Davies, Fitzgerald, Forward, Howard, Poole, Roberts, Rogers, Sabetian, Scott, Sinden, Street, Turner, Webb, Westley and Wincott voted against the amendment.
2. This council will ensure we keep our public conveniences open and will reduce council expenditure in other areas to facilitate this and to ensure that other vital public services remain functional. No closure of Harold Place toilets to occur (cost £64,000) – the cost of keeping this open to be met from ... view the full minutes text for item 55.
Treasury Management and Annual Investment Strategy 2017/18
The Assistant Director, Financial Services and Revenues, submitted a report to consider the draft treasury management and annual investment strategy. The strategy provided a framework for the management of the council's investments, cash flow and borrowing activities. The strategy proposed new borrowing limits, to allow for increased investment to support the council's income generation plans.
The Right Worshipful the Mayor proposed, seconded by Councillor Roberts, that under rule 13.3 of the council's constitution the recommendations set out in minute number 72 of the Cabinet meeting held on 13 February 2017, which was a matter for Council decision, were agreed without being called for discussion. This proposition was unanimously agreed.
RESOLVED that: -
1. The Council approve the Treasury Management, Minimum Revenue Provision (MRP) Policy and Annual investment Strategy (2017/18), and;
2. The council's Annual Investment Strategy includes the use of Property Funds with immediate effect, and that a £2m investment is made specifically with CCLA (Local Authority Property Fund)
The reason for this decision was:
The council seeks to minimise the cost of borrowing and maximise investment income whilst ensuring the security of its investments. The council is seeking to increase opportunities for income generation, particularly where there are benefits to the residents of Hastings in doing so, and this will involve the council in taking on additional borrowing. The sums involved are large and the assumptions made play an important part in determining the annual budget. Compliance with the CIPFA Code of Practice represents the best practice and ensures compliance with statutory requirements.
The council has the ability to diversify its investments into other property funds and should consider carefully the level of risk against reward against a background of low interest rates being forecast for some years ahead. Such an investment would help to close the gap in the budget in the years ahead and thus help to preserve services.

MORE INFO ABOUT The Bowery Ballroom
The Bowery Ballroom NYC was built in 1929, but rather than being steeped in a rich, musical history, the venue but lay empty until the end of WWII. Then, the Bowery Ballroom NYC was turned into a high-end retail store. It wasn't until 1997 that the Bowery Ballroom NYC made the transition into music venue, subsequently becoming the much-talked-about venue that we know today.With a capacity of 550, the Bowery Ballroom NYC offers performers and customers alike the opportunity to deliver and enjoy music in a cool and intimate setting. And the stars continue to flock there. Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Bruno Mars, Kanye West and Patti Smith are just a few of those featured on the Bowery Ballroom schedule in the past.
The venue's claims to fame aren't just music-related, either; the Bowery Ballroom NYC appears in the films, Coyote Ugly and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.

I spoke at the Air Force IT Conference in Montgomery, Alabama some time after the HP event, and Ed Enzman, one of our federal sales guys, and I manned the NetPro booth on the vendor show floor. We had given away maybe five or six chickens during the morning, and by luch time there was a line of twenty or thirty people at our booth. Did they want to ask me question about my session? No. Did they want to find out more about DirectoryAnalyzer? Not a chance. Did they even know what Active Directory was? They had no clue. All they wanted was one of the damn chickens. It didn't take us long to figure out that these people were definitely NOT prospects for NetPro products. But we had something they wanted, and ever the intrepid salesmen, Ed and I figured that if we had something they wanted, perhaps they had something we wanted. So as each person came up to ask for a chicken, we gave them a task. Sometimes it was just to pick up some cool swag from another vendor. And sometimes we asked them to get product information from our competitors like NetIQ and Quest. And one person we asked to pose as a "potential customer" and get competitive and pricing information from NetIQ. Behold the Power of the Chicken!


im a Christian for almost 6 years. Im well aware that having a relationship with a man who doesn't have a faith like yours is a disaster. Im also aware that feelings deceive us so much. I have a relationship with this muslim man for almost two years now. He respect my faith and i respect his too. My churchmates dont know about this yet nor are my parents but my sisters do. I know its wrong not letting them know but i dont like that they will judge us. We do get along very well. I've been also praying for our relationship and he does the same. I want to fight this till the end but my doubts are hindering me. Why there should be boundaries amongst human beings?
We all go through the same path. Love is blind. I have seen marriages between jews and muslims, jews and christians, muslims and christians, whats that supposed to mean muslim? Love surpases everything. You dont look at himas a muslim, you look at him who he is, loves conquer all. Stay true to jesus and let your love not be compromise for faith. That's is different.
I am going to try and be as simple and straight toward as possible yet am going to try and base my answer on scripture as well.
I am assuming the final destination of your relationship with the Muslim guy is marriage. Your situation is not unique. It has happened even in the Bible. Its not wrong to fall in love with someone else but according to the Bible but it is NOT acceptable in the christian faith for a christian to be in a relationship with an unbeliever. Throughout the old testament it has been law for Gods people (the Israelites as at then) to pick a spouse only from the tribe of Israel- among God's people. But I would want to focus more on the new testament since it applies more to us-the church age.
A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?
A yoke is a wooden bar that joins two oxen to each other and to the burden they pull. An "unequally yoked" team has one stronger ox and one weaker, or one taller and one shorter. The weaker or shorter ox would walk more slowly than the taller, stronger one, causing the load to go around in circles. When oxen are unequally yoked, they cannot perform the task set before them. Instead of working together, they are at odds with one another. Paul discouraged them from being in an unequal partnership with unbelievers because believers and unbelievers are opposites, just as light and darkness are opposites. They simply have nothing in common, just as Christ has nothing in common with "Belial," a Hebrew word meaning "worthlessness" (verse 15).
Consider this: the Bible says the husband is the head of the wife Eph. 5:23. This statement is not only true in Christianity but in almost every other religion and culture. When you finally get married to the Muslim guy who is to say that his position about your faith is not going to change. Are you going to have a Muslim wedding or christian wedding in a church? Are your children going to be Christians or Muslims? Is his Muslim family going to be okay with anything you do? Are your kids going to have Muslim or christian names? Where I come from, most of these decisions if not all are made by the HEAD and the wife is expected to follow his lead. These are just but a few of the numerous problems that can be mentioned.
For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
The same situation arose in the Corinthian church. their argument was that they would lead the unbelieving spouse to salvation after marrying them and this is what Paul by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote to them.
In conclusion, according to the Bible-God's word, it is NOT THE WILL OF GOD that we be in a relationship with unbelievers. If you wish to marry this same guy in the long run, he would have to be a true believer first. Dont get married to him and then try to change him. I would not try to argue with the scriptures because God who knows all things including the future said these things and that makes them true no matter what we think or do. I believe that if you have been led to ask this question concerning your relationship God must be speaking to you about it but you are struggling with what you know is right. I believe without a shadow of doubt that according to the word you should let go of him if he does not want to believe in Jesus. God would make sure someone even better comes your way....afterall every GOOD and PERFECT gift comes from the Father of lights....God bless you so much.
Wow @logeee I needed this word of wisdon just now.. when I went to church few weeks I took my spouse n the sister who talks n teaches open my eye n said I can be unequally yoke because my ex bf is not a Christian believer like I am. she said as long as am with him GOD would never bless me with a good GOD fearing husband, and I toke heed because am a believer of christ. I love the lord with all my heart and soul so if GOD Dont see that as right than miss leave that Muslim alone n let christ take control or you will forever have problems in your life... what wasnt mean GOD will tear apart.

With this configuration as-is, whenever I try to login, it redirects to the login page with a 302 code on /j_spring_security_check. If I comment that line (custom-filter ref="resourceServerFilter" before="EXCEPTION_TRANSLATION_FILTER") out, the login works.
Also, now, if I try to access localhost:8080/p/oauth/token?client_id=the-client-ids&client_secret=someMockedSecret&grant_type=client_credentials&scope=comment I get a 404, whereas before it used to create the access token.
The lines that were changed with the update are the following:
-    <beans:bean id="oauthAuthenticationEntryPoint" class="org.springframework.security.oauth2.provider.error.MediaTypeAwareAuthenticationEntryPoint">

Any suggestions? I've tried a few different configurations that I found here in StackOverflow but none of them worked for me.

There's the SWRPGNetwork fan site that Rodney Thompson used to work on before he got all famous, and their Holonet Forums.
My buddy Patrick Stutzman (one of the SWSE designers) also runs Star Wars: The Forgotten Tales.

Thanks! Added those and a few more to the list.
It is worth noting that SWRPGNetwork has archived the Dawn of Defiance campaign, while most d20 free adventures (there were more than two dozens, IIRC) can be found via Wookieepedia links to archival sites (the links in SWTFT are all to the original pages on WotC's website).
http://gneech.com/swordandsorcery/ is not about Star Wars (it's a sword & sorcery variant of the Saga rules), but includes a very useful encounter bugdet document that makes balancing encounters and/or computing XP much easier -- I use it constantly when adapting existing adventures for Saga.
I have a blog for Edge of the Empire.

Nate Christen has four blogs.
I don't see Patrick Stutzman in Havard's Celbrities on The Piazza thread. Would you might letting him know about The Piazza and telling him that we would love to see him come over and chat about both his SWSE stuff and his Forgotten Tales stuff.
Here's a link to a new project called Wildspace Magazine, a fanzine in the style of the Star Wars Adventure Journal.

That's an individual link to a download (rather than a link for a website for Wild Space Magazine). It might be a bit tough to track future issues.
Actually, I think that Shooting Wamp Rats probably deserves to go into the links, as it is a d6 Star Wars podcast.
Here's the link to download Issue 2 of WildSpace Magazine.

This weekend sees Canary Wharf's Crossrail Place Roof Garden join the line-up for Open Garden Squares Weekend (OGSW), an annual London event that encourages the public to explore the capital's picturesque urban gardens. This exotic garden hidden amongst towering buildings will host a wide-ranging programme of free events over the weekend, epitomising OGSW's aims to promote enjoyment and appreciation of London's green spaces, wherever they are found amidst the urban jungle.
The roof garden was designed by landscape architects Gillespies and visitors can learn about how its layout pays homage to Canary Wharf's maritime heritage. The site originally known as West India Dock was created to be a secure dock for precious cargoes of sugar, rum and spices.
The roof garden's location, almost directly on the Meridian Line, is reflected in its design and its division into two geographical zones. For example, Japanese Maples and Bamboo can be found in the east of the garden and New Zealand tree ferns in the west.
Alongside the activities programme, which will include free classical music and guided garden tours from Landscape Manager Alec Butcher, visitors can also enjoy an exhibition by artist Debbie Ayles entitled 'Dynamic City: Reflections in Canary Wharf' (pictured). London-born artist Debbie created a series of paintings inspired by the buildings at Canary Wharf, which are presented as part of the London Festival of Architecture 2018, whose theme this year explores the interpretation of individual identity and deconstructing a city environment.
Across the same weekend, Canary Wharf will also be hosting a series of 13 workshops as part of the Open House Families initiative. The new festival, designed by charity Open City, aims to inspire the next generation of architects, who will hopefully one day make their own mark on London's skyline.
Children and families will have the opportunity to participate in a range of immersive events, including Al Dente Engineering which calls for participants to experiment with different pasta to create the ultimate structure and a race against the clock to build the biggest and best LEGO structure. Times vary for all workshops from 11am-4pm across the weekend.

Both! Though there are separate groups for JUST one or the other where passing past the boundary line won't be tolerated. Up to you.
It seems to be for both, but it depends what kind of group you join. I'm married, and my group was all single people mostly looking to meet new people and make friends. You just have to see what kind of events the groups host to see if their activities are geared more towards friendship or dating.

Granite is quite literally as old as the earth. It is formed from liquid magma, the molten rock still found at the core of the planet, cooled slowly to form a substance approaching the hardness and durability of diamond. Granite tile & granite slab is a natural granite stone product from China and Around the World. Yuxiang Company is one of the leading manufacturer and exporter of stone products. And exporting quality variety of granite tiles & slabs with random colors & measurement, etc! Yuxiang can offer Red granite and brown granite such as Derby brown granite, Dragon Eyes granite, Pink Rose granite, Tigrato Red granite, Brown Crystal granite, coffee brown granite, ivory brown granite, Pink Cloudy Granite, Pink Diamond granite, red granite rock.
Derby Brown granite is light brown to brownish cream, with shell fragments of light color. This fine-grained light red Granite is our most versatile granite. Chosen for its lovely brown color that is uniform and consistent, Derby Brown Granite is also very fashionable for tiles and as building granite, it's quarried in large quantities in small, medium and large blocks including gangsaw blocks.

Potenciálna energíja (oznaka  ali U) je energija, ki jo ima telo zaradi svoje lege v polju sil. Potencialna energija se zmanjša, če se telo premakne v smeri sile, ki deluje nanj, in poveča, če se premakne v nasprotni smeri. Zgled za potencialno energijo je težnostna potencialna energija. Telo z dano maso ima zaradi težnostnega privlaka v Zemljinem težnostnem polju potencialno energijo, ki se sprosti, če telo spustimo, da pade. Potencialna energija je odvisna od teže telesa(m) in višinske razlike(h), Gravitacijskiega pospeška(g), ki je odvisen od lege na Zemlji(približek 9,8), ko vse enote skupaj seštejemo dobimo splošno formulo Wp=mgh(masa telesagravitacijski pospešekvišinska razlika).Rezultat dobimo v merski enoti džul(J).

Težnostna potencialna energija

To je energija, ki jo ima telo zaradi svoje lege v Zemljinem težnostnem polju, in je tem večja, čim višje leži telo. Zgleda zanjo sta energija, ki jo ima skala na vrhu gore ali voda v jezu hidroelektrarne. V približku lahko vzamemo, da je težnostna potencialna energija premosorazmerna višini h:

Pri tem je  masa telesa,  težni pospešek,  pa višina telesa glede na izbrano ničelno ravnino, v kateri smo določili, da je potencialna energija enaka nič. Potencialna energija je torej določena samo do aditivne konstante natančno.

Ker se težni pospešek spreminja z oddaljenostjo od središča Zemlje, velja zapisani izraz samo v približku, ko je višina h zanemarljivo majhna v primerjavi s polmerom Zemlje. V astronomiji ali ob obravnavanju gibanja vesoljskih plovil tega približka ne moremo uporabiti, ampak moramo integrirati silo teže v splošni obliki, kot jo podaja gravitacijski zakon:

Pri tem je  polmer Zemlje, M njena masa, κ pa gravitacijska konstanta. Višino h merimo od Zemljinega površja navzgor, potencialna energija pa je definirana tako, da je enaka nič na površju Zemlje.

Če definiramo potencialno energijo tako, da je enaka nič v središču Zemlje in izberemo h tako, da meri razdaljo od središča Zemlje, ima potencialna energija zunaj Zemlje dva člena:

Integral lahko izračunamo:

Pri obravnavi potencialne energije v težnostnem polju težkega telesa pogosto definiramo potencialno energijo tako, da je ta enaka nič v neskončni oddaljenosti od središča privlaka. Tako definirana potencialna energija je negativna, pri končnih oddaljenostih r od središča privlaka pa lahko, če slednjega aproksimiramo s točkastim telesom, zapišemo za težnostno potencialno energijo enostaven izraz:

Električna potencialna energija

Električna potencialna energija je energija, ki jo ima telo z nabojem e v zunanjem električnem polju E. Na točkast naboj e deluje konservativna elektrostatska sila eE, ki pri premiku iz točke r' v točko r opravi delo:

Zapisani določeni integral predstavlja potencialno razliko, ki ji v primeru električnega potenciala rečemo električna napetost:

Pogosto si pri računu izberemo neko točko  in računamo napetosti vseh točk glede na dano točko. V tem primeru krajevnega vektorja  ne navajamo vsakič, saj je konstanten. Tako vpeljani električni napetosti rečemo električni potencial . Pri obravnavi točkastih nabojev si pogosto za referenčno točko izberemo neskončnost (). Potencial točkastega naboja e lahko tako zapišemo:

Delo pri premiku naboja v električnem polju lahko zapišemo kot produkt naboja in električne napetosti, oziroma kot produkt naboja in razlike električnih potencialov:

Ker je električna sila konservativna, je delo odvisno samo od začetne in končne lege, ne pa od poti med njima. Zato lahko vpeljemo električno potencialno energijo Wep kot produkt električnega naboja in električnega potenciala, v katerem se ta naboj nahaja:

Prožnostna energija

Ker je sila vzmeti konservativna, lahko tudi prožnostno energijo obravnavamo kot vrsto potencialne energije. Za vijačno vzmet, za katero velja Hookov zakon, lahko zapišemo:

Pri tem je k konstanta vzmeti, x pa raztezek.

Kemijska energija

Tudi kemijska energija, ki se spreminja ob nastanku in razgradnji kemijskih vezi, lahko uvrščamo med potencialne energije.

Mirovna energija

Potencialna energija, potencial in sila

Pojem potencialne energije je tesno povezan s pojmoma potenciala in sile. Če je delo, ki ga sila opravi na zaključeni poti, enako nič, pravimo, da je sila konservativna. V tem primeru lahko z integriranjem sile po kraju vpeljemo potencial. Polje sil lahko izračunamo kot gradient potenciala.

Zgled konservativne sile je teža. Če je vrednost potencialne energije U izbranega telesa v točki A enaka , v točki B pa , opravimo pri premiku telesa od točke A do točke B delo . Če opravimo premik v obrantni smeri, je opravljeno delo enako . Skupno delo pri premiku po zaključeni poti je torej enako:

Potencialna energija je aditivna. Če redefiniramo potencialno energijo v točki A, tako da je ta enaka , v točki B pa  (pri tem je c katerokoli realno število, ki pa mora biti enako za vse točke prostora), je delo, potrebno za premostitev razdalje med točkama A in B, enako kot prej:

V praksi to pomeni, da imamo popolno svobodo glede tega, kje izberemo ničlo potencialne energije. Ta je lahko enaka nič na površju Zemlje ali v katerikoli drugi točki, kakor je pač za račun najbolj priročno.

Značilnost konservativnih sil je, da delo, potrebno za premik iz točke A v točko B ni odvisno od poti, po kateri se premikamo iz ene točke v drugo. Če imamo opraviti z nekonservativnimi silami — zgleda zanje sta upor in trenje — je delo seveda odvisno od poti in v takšnem primeru ne moremo vpeljati potenciala in potencialne energije.

As a company, we provide excellent client services within the hospitality and tourism industry in Ghana and across Africa. Beyond this, we facilitate recruitment, training and educational opportunities for professionals within this industry.
Rosak Consult is the official Ghana representative of the Swiss Education Group. We recruit students and professionals for hospitality institutions.
Rosak has professionals that deliver personal service that is genuine, warm, and unobtrusive. We tailor our programs to meet the specific challenges and demands you face.
Meeting Rosalin Abigail Kyere-Nartey of Rosak Consult was a dream come true. From Day 1 in Accra, she guided me during the application and enrollment process. Her detailed explanations enabled me to choose the best course I wanted. She helped me enroll in the Swiss Hotel Management School in Switzerland. As if that was not enough, she constantly checked up on me to know my progress and whether I had any challenges. Sooner than expected, I'm about graduating in three weeks time. I have learnt a whole lot here. Now I feel equipped to begin a successful career in the hospitality industry. As I leave here, I already have a mouth watering offer to work in a world-class hotel in the United States. Thanks Rosalin.
It's been amazing so far. Ms Rosalin was very helpful from the visa application through to the school application. It was stress-process for me due to her guidance and unrelenting support. Now that I'm in here (HIM), I can say my expectations have been exceeded. I'm grateful.
Rosalin is a pleasure to work with, absolutely reliable, calm under pressure, and great with clients. I especially appreciate her ability to anticipate problems and be proactive.
Rosalin Abigail Kyere- Nartey is very dedicated to giving back to her community. She sets a high professional standard for those working for and with her. Her passion, charisma, dedication, organizational skills, quality management and zeal towards her projects sets her apart from others in the field. I highly recommend partnering with Ms. Kyere-Nartey for community outreach projects.
I've known Rosalin since early 2014. She is the first curator to the Global Shapers Community, Kumasi Hub, an initiative of The World Economic Forum. I had numerous and frequent email conversations with her for nearly 3 months before actually ever meeting; exploring strategic areas for this "start-up" Hub to focus on and the merits of various initiatives. We constantly looked at ways of developing the Hub's strength as an organization and leverage this social asset to positively influence disenfranchised and mis-served members of Ghana's society. I was always impressed at how responsive and direct she is. Additionally, she has a very strong skill and ability at cross-cultural communication. From this experience, I felt that I knew her very well. My impression at the time, is that here is a person that has very high standards, is equally professional and personable, puts the energy needed to spur progress and momentum, always willing and able to find time for people and performs tasks with intentionality at the core. Also, what is being shared is merely how she purposes her time, in addition to leading her own private consulting practice.
Before I became the Operations Manager for Duapa Lodge, the spirit in the ethics I have always ridden on is to "be the best or with the best". This prudence for excellence is what lead me to Rosalin of Rosak Consult.
I am the President/ CEO of Ma Queenyonnoh Hotel, Inc located in Zwedru City, Grand Gedeh, Republic of Liberia. I am particularly pleased with the personal integrity and commitment to the services rendered by Madam Rosalin Abigail Kyere-Narty of Rosak Consult Limited in Accra, Ghana.
In addition, Rosalin has provided us with the technical innovation of her well-designed management structure of our single site hotel. I must emphasize that the level of professionalism and integrity I experienced in working with her was a unique experience for me.

Delhi Dynamos FC brushed aside FC Pune City in their Indian Super League (ISL) encounter with a 3-1 win at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Thursday.
Adil Nabi and Anas Edathodika scored a goal each for the hosts in the first half withJohn Arne Riise scoring from the spot in the 90th minute after Govin Singh had received his marching orders from the referee. Adrian Mutu scored a late consolation goal for FC Pune City.
It were the hosts who had the first shot of the game within 30 seconds through Nabi who forced keeper Arindam Bhattacharya into conceding the first corner of the match.
The deadlock was broken in the 36th minute when Nabi turned in a Delhi Dynamos FCcorner to score his first goal of the season.
Delhi doubled their lead five minutes later from a Florent Malouda corner. This time it was Anas who jumped the highest to send in a towering header past a helpless Bhattacharya in Pune's goal.
Wesley Verhoek should have reduced the deficit before the half-time interval when Doblas' attempted clearance fell favourably for the Dutchman. Verhoek though failed to keep his shot on target as the score remained 2-0 at half-time.
Delhi could have made it 3-0 immediately after the restart when Nabi played in Seminlen Doungel through on goal. The 21-year-old beat Bhattacharya in goal but the post came to Pune's rescue.
Riise nearly scored Delhi's third of the night in the 62nd minute after he was allowed a free header in the box from another corner. The Norwegian, however, failed to test the goalkeeper as he sent his header sailing over the crossbar.
Delhi substitute Richard Gadze almost scored with an absolute belter of a strike after controlling the ball brilliantly 10 minutes before full-time.
Govin was sent off for picking up his second yellow card of the match five minutes later. Singh was punished for bringing down Adinga inside the box – giving away a penalty in the process.
The home side finally got their third goal of the match with Riise stepping up to the spot and converting the spot-kick.
Mutu did pull one back with a delightfully taken free-kick but it was no more than a consolation as Delhi went second in the league table with 18 points from 10 matches while Pune moved one place down to fourth on 15 points.

Britney Spears, Ex-Bodyguard to Settle Sex-Harassment Lawsuit
By Andrew Lu on September 12, 2012 9:52 AM
Britney Spears is close to settling her sexual harassment lawsuit with her former bodyguard Fernando Flores.
The sexual harassment suit brought against Britney Spears had led to an almost two-year legal battle.
The singer is accused of not being able to keep her clothes on around her bodyguard. Flores says that Spears was always flashing her naked body parts at him and would even intentionally drop her cigarette lighter in his presence and then bend to pick it over, exposing her uncovered genitals, reports gossip website TMZ.
Oh, the horrors that Flores had to endure.
Sexual harassment is unlawful regardless of how attractive, how famous, or how rich the perpetrator. So in Britney Spears' sexual harassment case, an argument that Flores should have enjoyed being subjected to her alleged flashing wouldn't have worked in her defense.
For her part, Spears denied the claims. However, she reportedly settled the case for a "modest" amount to put the ordeal behind her, reports TMZ.
It's interesting to note that Spears herself does not have the authority to finalize the lawsuit settlement. She is currently under a conservatorship, and so her co-conservators (her father and fiance, according to People magazine) would need to sign off on the deal.
Four years ago, Spears famously had a very public meltdown, locking herself and her child in a room and refusing to give the child to the father, Kevin Federline. Spears had also engaged in other behavior that many deemed strange, such as shaving her head. As a result, Spears was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation and eventually placed under conservatorship, according to The Huffington Post. Spears' co-conservators have control over her career, finances, and legal decisions, as Spears was deemed to lack the adequate mental capacity.
A sexual harassment lawsuit settlement obviously impacts Britney Spears' finances. So, her conservator would need to OK the deal with her former bodyguard to finalize it.

Young Greatness gained the attention of hip-hop fans with his catchy single "Moolah" in 2015. The song, considered a street classic, spent seven weeks on the Billboard 100, according to music website Hot New Hip Hop. The song was produced by Atlanta-based producer Jazze Pha.
In the latest trend of artists remixing the tracks of fellow musicians, Young Greatness' hot track was redone by rap heavyweights Lil Wayne and Yo Gotti.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Jones moved to Houston after Hurricane Katrina hit his hometown in 2005. As a teenager, he was influenced by Jay-Z and fellow New Orleans rapper Juvenile.
Jones collaborated with Meek Mill on the single "Rollie on My Wrist" and his idol Juvenile on "Buku." His last studio album was 2017's "Bloody Summer."
According to his website, the rapper intended on releasing a new album on his own label, Mile High Music Group, this year.
If you have any information about the shooting, contact NOPD Homicide Detective Brett Mathes at 504-658-5300 or Crime Stoppers at 504-822-1111.

The relative roles of ANC and EPI in the continuous distribution of LLINs: a qualitative study in four countries.
Theiss-Nyland K., Koné D., Karema C., Ejersa W., Webster J., Lines J.
Background: The continuous distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) for malaria prevention, through the antenatal care (ANC) and the Expanded Programme on Immunizations (EPI), is recommended by the WHO to improve and maintain LLIN coverage. Despite these recommendations, little is known about the relative strengths and weaknesses of the ANC and EPI-based LLIN distribution. This study aimed to explore and compare the roles of the ANC and EPI for LLIN distribution in four African countries. Methods: In a qualitative evaluation of continuous distribution through the ANC and EPI, semi-structured, individual and group interviews were conducted in Kenya, Malawi, Mali, and Rwanda. Respondents included national, sub-national, and facility-level health staff, and were selected to capture a range of roles related to malaria, ANC and EPI programmes. Policies, guidelines, and data collection tools were reviewed as a means of triangulation to assess the structure of LLIN distribution, and the methods of data collection and reporting for malaria, ANC and EPI programmes. Results: In the four countries visited, distribution of LLINs was more effectively integrated through ANC than through EPI because of a) stronger linkages and involvement between malaria and reproductive health programmes, as compared to malaria and EPI, and b) more complete programme monitoring for ANC-based distribution, compared to EPI-based distribution. Conclusions: Opportunities for improving the distribution of LLINs through these channels exist, especially in the case of EPI. For both ANC and EPI, integrated distribution of LLINs has the potential to act as an incentive, improving the already strong coverage of both these essential services. The collection and reporting of data on LLINs distributed through the ANC and EPI can provide insight into the performance of LLIN distribution within these programmes. Greater attention to data collection and use, by both the global malaria community, and the integrated programmes, can improve this distribution channel strength and effectiveness.

The bottomland hardwood forest is a type of deciduous and evergreen hardwood forest found in broad lowland floodplains along large rivers and lakes in the United States and elsewhere.  They are occasionally flooded, which builds up the alluvial soils required for the gum, oak and bald cypress trees that typically grow in this type of biome.  The trees often develop unique characteristics to allow submergence, including cypress knees and fluted trunks, but can not survive continuous flooding.

Typical examples of this forest type are found throughout the Gulf Coast states, and along the Mississippi River in the United States.  It is estimated there were  in the region before foresting and farming reduced it to approximately  today.

Perched inside his apartment 12 stories above Washington Square Park, Andre Kertesz beheld a cityscape of trees, rooftops and snow-covered paths. Caught between distance and intimacy, his images revealed with affection and longing a Hungarian émigré who was an outsider in his adopted land.
His desire for a room with a view led him and his wife, Elizabeth, in 1952 to the Greenwich Village apartment whose vistas offered a panoply of light, lines, shadows and textures. An exhibit of that work opens today at Bruce Silverstein Gallery.
Washington Square Park's trees and paths marked the change of seasons, while the skyline had the no-nonsense flavor of postwar New York, before sharp-angled steel and glass towers began soaring ever higher. Some images are rendered in quick, visual strokes: shadows on a brick wall contrasted against a skeletal tree, or snowfall reducing a scene to a sketchlike abstraction.
It's hard to behold the past knowing what befell the subject of one image he took in 1976. It shows two buildings dwarfing the landscape, encircled by a gauzy wreath of smoke. In the foreground, a cross juts into the frame. Behind that, the Twin Towers. It reminds us we are all outsiders, each looking at a spectral memory through our own, individual windows.

Why choose Juel Fairbanks
History of Juel Fairbanks
Having struggled with his own sobriety, Ojibwe tribe member Juel Fairbanks Sr. had a dream to open a halfway house for American Indian men. The Cass Lake, Minnesota native shared his vision with fellow Alcoholics Anonymous members, including Edward LaFromboise, who also believed that this type of program would speed the recovery process.
In 1970, they began meeting with others in the community about creating this culturally specific treatment and support program. Support grew for Juel Fairbanks Aftercare Residence. Unfortunately, Juel died before he could realize his dream. In his honor, Edward continued the work they began. On December 4, 1973, the first client was admitted to Juel Fairbanks Aftercare Residence. Juel Fairbanks Aftercare Residence operated as a Halfway House for American Indian Men. Edward LaFromboise served as the first director of the program until his death in 1977.
Over the years, the program evolved into much more. In 1976, the residential program became co-ed and began serving other underserved populations, ages 16 and up. In 1979, the outpatient program was added. In 1991, Juel Fairbanks started to offer chemical dependency assessments in Ramsey County.
Today, Juel Fairbanks Aftercare Residence, now operating as Juel Fairbanks Recovery Services, has become known for its strength in serving American Indians and other underserved men. Through our residential, outpatient, and group residential housing services Juel Fairbanks is working to make a lasting impact in the substance use disorder field.
