According to Iain Duncan Smith, the government's ambitious plans to reform welfare benefits have been "reset" but will be delivered on time and within budget.
That is despite repeated claims from organisations including the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) that it has already wasted millions of taxpayers' cash and will miss key deadlines by years.
Now, and not for the first time, the work and pensions secretary is the subject of a whispering campaign in Westminster with critics, even on his own benches, suggesting it is he who needs to be reset.
Replacing a raft of benefits with a single Universal Credit was not a new idea when Duncan Smith first proposed it in 2010 and, even now, Labour supports the policy.
But Duncan Smith was the first minister to actually believe he could make it work and there are now serious doubts about whether that will be the case.
Duncan Smith has faced repeated claims he is missing his targets, that the vital and complex IT systems have failed, that only a handful of claimants are likely to be receiving the credit within his original timescale and that the entire process is wasting millions.
Only weeks ago, the National Audit Office claimed £140 million would have to be written off and the Major Projects Authority, a government troubleshooter, said another £200 million of IT spending could be worthless.
There was also an angry backlash from politicians and civil servants alike when it was suggested the minister had attempted to blame senior Whitehall officials for the failings rather than taking responsibility himself.
Now he has been forced to admit around 700,000 individuals will not move onto the scheme until after the target date of 2017, despite repeatedly insisting the timetable would be met.
And Labour claim figures in the autumn statement showed the £2bn project was "in tatters" because only 400,000 people will be receiving UC in 2015-16 instead of the 4.5 million originally claimed.
Duncan Smith has insisted he "never really wanted to dwell on figures" because things were bound to change with such a massive project. But he admitted: "This plan is different from the original plan" adding that was because he wanted to get it right, even if that meant going more slowly.
"It is on budget and 6.5 million people will be on the system by the end of 2017," he said.
But Labour's Rachel Reeves said the latest figures from the OBR showed the entire project was in chaos, adding: "At the time of the general election, 1.7m people were supposed to be claiming Universal Credit. Instead, the Office for Budget Responsibility says that just a handful will be. This whole project is now in total disarray," she said.
Meanwhile, the prime minister was said to have complete confidence in Duncan Smith. His spokesman said he was doing "absolutely the right thing with such an important project by taking on board lessons from pilot projects.
But his critics, even some on his own benches, fear the entire project is now creaking at the seams and may have been far too ambitious in the first place.
Suggestions, flatly denied, that chancellor George Osborne claimed Duncan Smith was "thick" are being revived amid claims he simply was not up to such a massive challenge.
There have been previous suggestions that the prime minister should sack him but, as the scheme is entirely his own personal project, he is expected to see it through to the bitter end.
The government is calculating that, whatever the problems with the scheme, voters will support the image of them getting tough with welfare claimants. And, in any case, no minister in their right mind would want to take on the project at this point.


When it comes to travel and holidays, there are those of us who consider ourselves tourists, and those who think of ourselves more as travellers. Whilst for some, the perfect holiday is returning to a favourite resort year after year, relaxing in the sunshine with everything around us immediately to hand and familiar, others are more intrepid in their taste for adventure and crave exploration a little more off the beaten track.
World Travel Blog has always been committed to discovering those roads less travelled, which can always be found even in the most popular of tourist spots, and our anecdotal advice and articles are aimed at providing some insight into how such endeavours are best undertaken. But sometimes, for some trips, a specialist is needed, and that's what has led us to launch our Travel Company of the Year Award this year.
Choosing our first winner hasn't been easy – there are many agents in the market today offering a wide range of trips to suit varying budgets. We've been rigorous in our selection, though, and scored each of our shortlisted operators on the areas which matter most, namely quality of the itineraries on offer, overall value of holidays, how well organised the trips are and, all importantly, how knowledgable the staff and representatives are about your chosen destination. Feedback has been gleaned from not only the World Travel Blog team, but also independent reports from individuals and groups who have used these companies first hand.
Regent Holidays have been chosen for their unquestionable product knowledge, their willingness to be of assistance both before and after booking, and during the holiday itself, the friendliness of their team of experts, the fantastic choice of locations available, the overall exceptional value and for having innovation in spades.
So, congratulations guys – this award is not given out easily, and you should be very proud. Long may you continue to provide the excellent service you do!


Dave Long, a former patient at Harefield Hospital, has celebrated the 2nd anniversary of his life-saving surgery by organising a charitable BBQ. So far, he has raised a fantastic £1,760.
Back in August 2014, Dave was admitted to Harefield Hospital to undergo an immediate heart bypass operation. Unfortunately, his heart was too weak to withstand the bypass, which meant he required a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to be fitted.
LVADs are used to help the heart pump blood around the body, and thanks to this transformative surgery by doctors at Harefield Hospital, Stephen is now able to live a healthy normal life.
To celebrate two years since his LVAD was fitted, Dave and his family organised a charitable BBQ with friends and family. The £1,760 he has raised so far, will help contribute to the life-saving work at Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals. Congratulations and thank you to Dave and his family for his support!

"Rabbit Fever" Warning Issued in CO
the MPR take:
Health officials in Jefferson County, CO have issued a warning to the public regarding the bacterial disease tularemia, also known as "rabbit fever." The public is advised to avoid sick or dead rabbits to prevent infection that can be life-threatening in humans but treatable with early antibiotic therapy. Although there are no confirmed human cases of tularemia in Jefferson County this year, a rabbit has tested positive in the area. Because it can also be transmitted by an infected tick or flea, use of insect repellant is also encouraged. There are on average 100-150 cases of tularemia per year in the U.S. and only two outbreaks (in 1978 and 2000) have been reported. While they may be cute, it's best to admire outdoor rabbits from afar to prevent infection.
Hop Away From "Rabbit Fever" in CO
Health officials in Jefferson County, Colorado, are warning people to stay away from sick or dead rabbits because the animals may have a disease called "rabbit fever" that can also infect humans. "We had a rabbit from the southern part of the county near the town of Bow Mar that tested positive for tularemia," Dave Volkel, an environmental health specialist with Jefferson County Public Health, told CBS Denver.

"Is it not the toughest component of opening up the ability to get people back to work in some function? I mean, the dignity of work, the value of work, what it means to a family, obviously the income. How hard is it to differentiate between opening up school systems, athletic facilities or just getting people back to work?" asks veteran columnist Mike Barnicle of Dr. Richard Besser, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, during a Morning Joe conversation about the process of reopening American after the coronavirus-related lockdowns across the country. Listen to Besser's response here about how the way forward is slow, methodical and requiring good, comprehensive data systems to understand what's working and what isn't.

Pasadena ISD Thanks School Board for Lending a Hand, Giving a Heart to Students
January is School Board Recognition Month and Pasadena ISD is joining districts across the nation to thank these community volunteers for their commitment and contributions to our public schools.
Have you thanked a school board member lately? January is School Board Recognition Month and Pasadena ISD is joining districts across the nation to thank these community volunteers for their commitment and contributions to our public schools.
"School board members play such an important role in the uniquely American school governance system that guarantees local control of our schools," said School Superintendent Dr. Kirk Lewis. "They invest countless hours to provide an exceptional public education that meets the needs of all students. Clearly with an average tenure of 15 years, these are individuals who truly know the district and care about the families who entrust their kids to Pasadena ISD."
The seven school members who serve Pasadena ISD are elected officials who volunteer their time to set direction for our schools. They spend long hours, after their own workdays, making decisions on complex educational and social issues. The Board sets policies and goals that reflect the community's vision for the future. They bear responsibility and oversight of the district's 54,000 students, in grades kindergarten to twelfth; more than 7,000 employees; and 62 schools. The future is literally in their hands.
Preparing today's students to be productive citizens and leaders is a tremendous task. As elected officials, school board members are the voice of their communities, serving the best interest of school children.
"These dedicated individuals deserve recognition and thanks for their unfailing commitment to the continuing success of our students," Lewis said.
Thanks to the leadership and collaborative efforts by the Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees, construction on a new state-of-the-art Career and Technology High School is underway and expected to be completed by August 2014. In addition, the Board has strongly advocated a One-to-One Initiative to provide technology to all students. Because of the Board's responsible management of the district budget, employees received a 3.5 percent raise this past fall.
The district invites the community to take time this month to thank the trustees for their devotion.
The men and women serving Pasadena ISD are President Jack Bailey, four years in office; Vice-President Vickie Morgan, 26 years, Secretary Fred Roberts, 19 years; Asst. Secretary Mariselle Quijano-Lerma, 5 years; Nelda Sullivan, member, 18 years; Jerry Ross Speer, member, 12 years; Marshall Kendrick, member, 24 years.

National TV Show Shoots at New York Hardware Store
Renee Changnon January 1, 2018	Industry News, Original News 919 Views
Last summer, it was lights, camera, action at Wadeson Home Center when the store was used as a set for an online TV show.
Located in Warwick, New York, an hour away from New York City, the store had been on the radar of television scouts looking for a hardware store to use as a set for a while. But in August 2017, store owner Craig Wadeson says the hardware store was ready for its close-up.
"Sneaky Pete," an Amazon Prime original series, was filming its second season and producers asked Wadeson about filming at his store. The show features Giovanni Ribisi who plays the main character, Marius Josipovic. After getting out of prison, his character takes on the identity of his cellmate, Pete Murphy.
"I had heard of the show, but I hadn't watched it yet," Wadeson says. "After that conversation, my wife and I binge-watched the entire first season over the next two days."
As a media buff, Wadeson was excited by the opportunity to see his store on the small screen and went for it. Warwick is less than 75 miles from New York City, so, many shows have outdoor scenes filmed in his town, he says. In fact, that is how the "Sneaky Pete" opportunity came about.
"The show's location manager discovered us because they were frequently visiting our store to buy different items," Wadeson says. "I always make sure to ask my customers what they're looking for and what they need. Television runners and set designers always ask for the strangest things, so I knew a show was filming in town and then one thing led to another."
The show arrived on a Friday to set up and the shoot ran through the end of the evening on Monday.
Some customers who didn't know about the TV crew in town were concerned when a large Sundown Lumber sign, the name of the hardware store in the show, appeared over Wadeson Home Center.
"We had just put a new roof on our building and were going to put up a new sign," Wadeson says. "The producer asked if they could put their own sign on the building and would put up our sign after filming. After it was up, my phone was ringing off the hook, asking if we had sold the store and wanting to know what was going on."
Wadeson's daughter and her friends, all wearing Wadeson Home Center shirts, got to take a picture with Chaske Spencer, an actor on "Sneaky Pete," and from the "Twilight" movies.
Before the show filmed at the store, Wadeson says he was looking through the list of actors who would be on set and his daughter got slightly starstruck.
"My daughter heard me say the name of one of the actors, Chaske Spencer, and ran to call a friend and asked if they could come to the store during filming," he says. "I didn't know it, but he was from the "Twilight" movie trilogy and my thirteen-year-old daughter was a big fan."
On Monday, the cast and crew arrived early, but Wadeson was able to keep the business open for customers to shop. Unsure of what the day would entail, he had a full staff on hand.
"When the word started to spread that the show was filming at our store, many people came to see what was going on," he says. "They came out of curiosity and then ended up shopping."
To avoid any confusion, the store had signs on the doors explaining what was going on and why certain areas of the store were blocked off. Even with the hustle and bustle of a television crew working in-store and a completely full and blocked off parking lot, Wadeson Home Center had a profitable day.
The "Sneaky Pete" crew filmed inside and outside the store, but at one point during the day, everyone from the hardware store and the television show went outside to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse.
"Everyone came outside to look at the partial eclipse at one point," Wadeson says. "It got darker and cooled down for about 20 minutes. It was just a really cool moment for everyone."
While Wadeson was able to see the various scenes as they were filmed, the entire staff and customers made sure to give the crew space to do what they needed. Photos were discouraged, but after they wrapped filming around 7 p.m., Wadeson says Chaske Spencer walked up to his daughter and her friends and asked to take a picture with them.
"When Chaske took a picture with them, they were so excited," he says. "They had watched the entire day and he could tell they were fans. He was a really nice guy."
The morning after filming ended, the set design team came and took everything down and set the business up how it was before they arrived.
"The whole experience was seamless," Wadeson says. "The show paid for money lost in the areas that were shut down and everyone was very professional. If this were to happen again, I would definitely want to participate."

The Christian Science Monitor: James Martin on UAW's public image
For the first time in its history, the UAW is negotiating a major contract while its leadership battles corruption charges. It is possible the scandal will lengthen the strike, emboldening both sides to take a harder line than they otherwise would at a time when the industry is flush with profits. It's certainly distracting attention away from the pivotal nature of the talks, as the industry begins to focus on far-reaching technological changes that will transform car production in ways not seen since the rise of the internal combustion engine. The details emerging from the ever-widening federal probe, which so far has netted nine convictions and charges against two others for millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks, have hurt the union's reputation. First the investigation unearthed bribes from Fiat Chrysler America officials to UAW leaders. The focus this year has broadened to include leaders' misuse of union funds. "It is a black eye," says James Martin, a labor-relations expert at Wayne State University in Detroit. "The UAW had a squeaky clean image."

I won't be splashing out this Christmas, now I've learnt the joy of saving
If we've learnt one thing over this long year, it's to be careful – of our money, our health – and most of all, each other
Flic Everett 26 November 2020 • 3:00pm
Jo of Little Women summed it up – "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents." Or parties, visits, carol singers and every other cheery, Victorian signifier of the season.
This year, however, it's going to be a case of Honey, I Shrunk the Tree – and everything else. Because even those who usually push out an entire bejewelled fleet of boats at Christmas are looking at the current landscape – job uncertainty, mass redundancies, foodbanks, millions struggling, and of course, the ever-lurking invisible enemy – and thinking that even if you can afford it, festive excess seems inappropriate. What's more, during this strange year, curbing the spending has been an unexpected bonus for many.
I spent so little over the summer (no holidays, no meals out, no new frocks) that for the first time ever, I've paid my tax bill early. Admittedly, it's not quite the same thrill as a Selfridges trolley-dash, but there is a quietly organised satisfaction in knowing you haven't put yourself deep into unnecessary debt. As someone planning a much reduced Christmas, I'm also feeling relieved that come January, I can cope with the bills.
Because often, in previous years, I have gone full Kardashian. I love buying presents and lovely food, and despite my good intentions – "I'll just make food hampers for everyone this year" – I always end up spending fortunes on packaging, ingredients and ribbon, then buying gifts anyway. I am a magpie for sparkly baubles, stocking-fillers, fancy chocolates and pricey perfume, and my family Christmas dinners tend towards the Sultan of Oman side of "lavish".
But while we're all understandably desperate to celebrate, much of that joy will be in seeing loved ones after long, enforced separations, rather than battling round boiling shops harvesting novelty socks and overpriced aftershave.
For those on furlough, much of this year has been about re-connecting with more basic aspects of a fulfilling life – baking, long walks, the value of friendship and family. Learning to enjoy what we have rather than spending on more has been a vital lesson that's worth carrying into Christmas. I don't mean to sound like a sermonising Little Nell; in the past, I've been guilty of more thoughtless excess bling than Sex and The City 2. But this year, the idea of driving myself into debt buying random gifts for random people seems wildly inappropriate – despite the boost to the economy. Even the big advertisers like John Lewis or Sainsbury's, are acknowledging that this year, it's less about spending and more about thoughtfulness, while Lidl's ad mocks the usual festive fantasy with a shout-out for low prices.
So my partner and I have promised each other second-hand gifts, my son loves vintage books, so I'm scouring charity shops, and family really are getting those hampers. Social media suggests my feelings are not unusual. It's been a terrible time for so many, and Christmas is our brief light in the darkness. And if we've learnt one thing over this long year, it's to be careful – of our money, our health – and most of all, each other.

Q: Difference between field and property in OrientDB I am using OrientDB for the first time. I read that this database operates in a schema less mode.
Although there seems to be some confusion between Field and Property. What is the difference between these two?
The ALTER command does work on fields but fields are shown under the property name in OrientDB studio in query results. Field operations are done through UPDATE. Am I missing something. Please clarify.

A: The field and property are the same thing in OrientDB.
When you use UPDATE you should not specify the word property or field, the property is just used in ALTER queries, for example ALTER PROPETY, see:

Huawei has unveiled at CES the high-end device Ascend D2 with top display, camera and battery, but no LTE. However, it comes to us too late.
FullHD-smartphones are in fashion as the CES held this week in Las Vegas. So Sony has unveiled its new top model Sony Xperia Z , ZTE Grand S and even Huawei makes no slouch himself. The Chinese have also a Smartphone with 1080 p display at the start next to their first Windows phone 8-device Huawei Ascend W1 and the Phablet Huawei Ascend Mate with the Huawei Ascend D2.
The successor of the Huawei Ascend D1 Quad XL offers a 5-inch IPS display that resolves with 1920 x 1080 pixels, which corresponds to a pixel density of 441 ppi. You can see eye so impossible single pixel with the bl0ßen. The manufacturer also promises a fast colour and clear representation that should be unique.Under the hood, the in-house quad-core processor K3V2, which pulses with 1.5 GHz per core works and is supported by a 2 GB large memory.
The internal memory is 32 GB, is a downer but not expandable – surely, because 9.4 mm deep, a MicroSD slot had quite another place. No nakedness is the device, however, when the camera: this resolves with 13 megapixels and can boast BSI sensor a f/2.2 aperture HDR function, and an ISO sensitivity, which is supposedly "higher than other smartphones of this category". High ISO allows detailed images even in low light, without having to use the Flash. The Smartphone turns of course in full HD quality videos (1. 080p). The front camera dissolves in the meantime with 1.3 mega pixels and allows HD video calls.
As the operating system Android is running version 4.1 jelly bean, which is UI superimposed by the in-house. A huge 3,000 mAh battery, who stay an average of 48 hours and is fully charged after two hours, what the Samsung Galaxy S3 , for example, according to Huawei would take 24 minutes longer ensures sufficient runtime. According to Huawei, the standby time is up to six days. A further highlight is the "Super-hands-free"-function, a high-performance hands-free function. The speaker can be located up to 1.5 metres from the device, without affecting the intelligibility.This feature is useful especially at conferences.
On the road, while dual-band Wi-Fi to enable 802.11 a / b / g / n transfer speeds of 150mbps, user must forego the fast LTE standard. Only HSPA provides data acceleration. Other standards include DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS, NFC and MHL to transfer the content to a TV or an external monitor via HDMI, however, also missing.
With 170 grams, the Huawei Ascend D2 is no lightweight, but the case against water and dirt resistant. A pity that it has put only in part on metal, the back is shiny plastic.
The Huawei Ascend D2 should unfortunately be in July 2013 on the German market. If it has then another chance, may be doubted at least at the target price of €600 – eventually there will be probably already the Samsung Galaxy S4 until then, which certainly offers a lot of features, also Sony Z wants to bring his Xperia already in March in the shops.

Q: accessing a method in an array of objects that are in an array of objects How do I access an array of objects inside of an array of objects?
my code:
private boolean intersect(Polygon[] polygons, Line[] the_path, int i, int j)
{
   int k = 0;
   boolean intersect;

   if(intersect == true)
   {
       for(i = 0; i < polygons.length; i++)
        for(j = 0; j < polygons._lines.length; j++)
           for(k = 0; k < the_path.length; k++)
           intersect = polygons._lines[j].intersect(the_path[k]);
   }

   return intersect;
}

The intersect method in the array of lines returns a boolean, but there is a separate array of line objects in each of the polygons....how do I go about accessing that method? (note..I don't know if this exact code will do what I want yet, but either way I need to be able to access that method)

A: I think you accidentally left out the index into polygons (e.g. polygons[i]). Also, currently you have intersect being assigned the value of intersect() which means it is overwriting any other values given to the boolean intersect in previous loop iterations. I have added an if statement that will break out of the function immediately if that case if found instead. However, you could instead do something like intersect = intersect || ... .intersect() if you want to keep that variable.
Try this:
private boolean intersect(Polygon[] polygons, Line[] the_path, int i, int j) {
  int k = 0;

  for (i = 0; i < polygons.length; i++) {
    for (j = 0; j < polygons[i]._lines.length; j++) {
      for (k = 0; k < the_path.length; k++) {
        if (polygons[i]._lines[j].intersect(the_path[k])) {
          return true;
        }
      }
    }
  }

  return false;
}

I am currently under the influence, so we can't be sure what will be said, but at least I am having fun. They told me not to drive or sign contracts after my throat scope, but nobody said a peep about writing blog posts.
The story started some weeks ago with a feisty migraine that did not make its usual concession to migraine medicine. Misery ensued, including a vomiting session, which is common for migraine sufferers. But unlike all the times before, chunks of blood came up with the stomach acid, which called for a trip to my doctor.
She was A-OK with me barfing up blood — said it was "just" an esophagus tear, probably nothing to be concerned about. But I have a knack for volunteering information that I should keep to myself. In answer to a routine question, I admitted that sometimes food feels like it gets stuck in my throat.
Doctors and tech support people from foreign countries are much alike. They listen for key phrases and then automatically respond to those, no matter what else you tell them. "Food stuck in throat," is such a key phrase — and it brings dire possibilities to doctors' minds. She didn't hear anything after that, and began punching buttons to schedule a throat scope.
So, today was scope day. The prep was almost nonexistent — no breakfast and NO WATER for four hours ahead of the procedure. Simple enough — IF one does not wake up with a migraine. I was concerned that might happen. It did. The alarm went off two hours before the scope job, and Old Man Migraine had already made his appearance.
So I cheated. I took my first-line-of-defense drug, ibuprofen, downed with a tablespoon of the prohibited water. This was not the brightest move in the world. I should have immediately gone for the high-powered migraine stomper, but my thinking abilities at 5:00 a.m. are not the best. One-half hour later, Mr. Migraine was not only on my doorstep; he had broken and entered the house. So I debated cheating again with an additional tablespoon of the prohibited H2O for the sake of the big-gun drug … but didn't.
I got to the scope place and explained that if the migraine really went south, I might throw up at an inopportune time, like while the scoping was in progress. (They probably have people retch all the time while they're doing that, but are too delicate to tell on themselves.)
"Not to fear!" assured the RN. "The narcotics we're going to pump you full of are gonna knock any pain you have into outer space. And if you start to feel sick, we'll just put some nausea antidote in that silly little IV you're wearing, too!"
Enter the scope doc, and I didn't bother to mention barf concerns. But he wanted to know why, exactly, I was there. I told him about doctors and key words. (I left out the comparison to tech support people in foreign countries so as not to agitate him. He was going to be stuffing hardware down my throat, after all, and I wanted him to be feelin' groovy while doing it.)
He decided that he was going to stretch my esophagus, in hopes that I would never get shredded wheat and other foodstuffs stuck again. (He said sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. If not, I would "just have to live with it." I was perfectly happy living with it before now anyway.) He agreed with me that there was probably nothing wrong.
Seemingly nanoseconds later, everything was reported to be normal. But now my throat ached powerfully (from stretching it), and my head still hurt as much as ever. So much for narcotics that pack a whollop no migraine can withstand.
I popped the migraine dope which should have been ingested hours previously, along with a muffin and a glass of juice. They then wheeled me out to the car in a jellified state and shoveled me in. By this time, I highly suspected that they had not put any of that lovely nausea inhibitor in my IV.
We made a stop at the post office, and while my husband, a former postal employee, was inside swapping stories with his buddies (or whatever else he does over a couple of packages), I faced the grim reality that it had been entirely stupid not to bring an ice cream pail and a box of tissues along in the car. The major decision now became whether to open the door and discreetly release the goods right there in the parking lot next to the car, or head for the nearest snowbank and hope I wouldn't woozily topple over trying to get there.
I opted for the snowbank, not wanting other postal patrons to step in decomposing muffin mingled with stomach acid. I made it, without any nose-dive mishaps. The process was not discreet, but at least I got 'er done.
I was afraid hubby would absent-mindedly drive off without me. He came out, vaguely noticed something large was missing from the car, and scanned the landscape. I think he might have sauntered over to the snowbank and toddled me back to the car, but can't remember for sure. I just know that I got home somehow and slept for hours before adventuring to tell the world about the experience.

This report identifies a large array of needs that still require to be addressed to ensure greater inclusion of women's and civilian voices in the Myanmar peace process. It also adds to the limited public information on the ethnic political parties, their structures, strategies, visions of the peace process, and the role they play or could play in peace talks. The findings and conclusions provide a unique platform for future programming in support of women's participation in the peace process, as well as a better understanding of the ethnic political parties of Myanmar.
This brief reviews the current legal posture of the two-thirds gender rule in the 2010 Kenyan Constitution, which mandates that no more than two-thirds of the members of any elected or appointed public body be of the same gender. It traces the developments of the two-thirds gender rule legislation from its beginning in the 2010 Kenyan Constitution until the most recent implementation attempt in early 2019.
As part of their broad mandate to protect and promote human rights, national human rights institutions have a key role to play in protecting and promoting the right to participate in public affairs, including elections. This handbook provides practical steps for organizations to take in implementing a plan to bolster human rights through the election process.
This report provides the findings of consultative forums conducted from May through August 2018 with youth and women in eight counties of Kenya on the factors that hinder and promote their political participation. The report offers recommendations to support their increased participation in the political sphere.
Through their joint initiative on Human Rights and Election Standards, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights and The Carter Center have worked to bring the human rights and election communities closer and to foster stronger links and communication between them. This Plan of Action aims to advance human rights related to genuine democratic elections by charting a course of practical steps toward our shared goals.
This report is the culmination of years of research on the contractual and financial practices of the Democratic Republic of Congo's state-owned mining company, Gécamines, and its most important investment partners. The analysis is based on 200 interviews and a review of over 100 mining contracts, at least 1,000 corporate documents, and data from the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative covering 2007–2014.
A brief overview of the history of The Carter Center's election observation work over the 25 years between 1989 and 2014 reveals a gradual evolution as the Center expanded its work around the world. Simultaneously, the role of election observation grew significantly within the Center itself, as did the role the Center plays in the field internationally.
This handbook serves as a companion to the Carter Center's EOS database and summarizes key election issues related to core parts of the electoral process and references some of the relevant sources of obligations, including treaties as well as soft law. This handbook was developed in close collaboration with International IDEA, whose "International Obligations for Elections: Guidelines for Legal Frameworks" was also released in the autumn of 2014. This collaboration enriched both initiatives.
Following an invitation from the High National Election Commission, The Carter Center deployed a team of six experts to Libya to assess the elections for a 60-member constituent assembly, or the constitution-drafting assembly, the body charged with drafting a new Libyan constitution according to Libya's interim constitution. The Carter Center team visited Libya in December to learn about the candidate registration process and other key preparations and returned in mid-January to conduct an expert mission focused on key election administration issues.
The Carter Center was invited to observe the Internet voting trials of the Norwegian Parliamentary Elections of 2013. In response to the invitation, the Center decided to deploy a one-person Expert Study Mission in close coordination with a separate mission deployed by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe/Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR). Using the Norwegian 2013 elections, this report attempts to address two separate but related issues: 1) the relationship between Internet voting in uncontrolled environments and generally accepted standards for genuine democratic elections, and 2) the extent to which Internet voting is observable.
The Carter Center and the ACE Electoral Knowledge Network are pleased to announce the release of two new resources on voter identification processes and practices. The reports provide groundbreaking analysis of a range of critical electoral issues on voter identification, the right to vote, and related international standards and election administration practices. The Carter Center report includes a comparative analysis of voter identification processes in Africa and Latin America, while the ACE report focuses on the delicate balance between preventing fraud and protecting the right to vote.
Following a set of political and electoral reform measures implemented in January 2012, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika called for elections for the People's National Assembly of Algeria on May 10, 2012. Invitations to observe the elections were extended to a number of organizations, including The Carter Center. In lieu of deploying an observation mission, the Center decided to send a small election expert mission to assess particular aspects of the election process as well as the general evolution of the democratic environment in Algeria. The Center offers this report in the spirit of cooperation and assistance to indicate several areas in which positive progress has been made as well as some areas in which the conduct of elections and their democratic context could be further improved.
This brief paper, co-authored with Democracy Reporting International, gives an overview of the extent to which states are obliged to organize themselves as a democracy and to hold genuine elections, and describes related gaps in international law. A comprehensive table summarizes the obligations and their content and meaning.
This comprehensive study, co-authored with Democracy Reporting International, discusses state obligations under international law relevant to democratic governance and genuine elections in detail. It also outlines gaps in current international law and recommends specific points for inclusion in future general comments by the United Nations Human Rights Committee.
This handbook is designed to supplement other tools and resources available to Carter Center election observation missions (EOMs). It therefore does not cover every aspect of an election observation mission. Instead, it provides additional detail regarding those issues related to the use of e-voting technologies.
The increasing use of new electronic voting (e-voting) technologies in elections around the world has been recognized by the international election observation community as one of the paramount challenges facing election observation today. As a whole, international election observation organizations have had relatively little experience observing elections in which e-voting technologies are used. In addition, the inherent lack of transparency of electronic voting technologies discourages easy observation.
This brief report outlines the consensus-building process that led to the endorsement of the Declaration of Principles for International Election Observation and the Code of conduct for International Election Observers and discusses some of the continuing challenges facing the election observation community as a whole.
Introduction and link to the Summary of Proceedings: Automated Voting and Election Observation. Provides an overview of the main areas of discussion during the Carter Center-convened meeting of election authorities, academics, technical experts, and representatives from organizations involved in international election observation.

July 15, 2018 July 30, 2018 by an Edmonton-based food blogger.
One of the most difficult things about living in Edmonton is the difficulty in getting fresh seafood. I'm sure all seafood restaurants and seafood lovers can agree upon this. Luckily, The Keg offers a whole lobster summer menu from now until September 2nd. These atlantic lobsters are sourced from Clear Water in Nova Scotia, and are shipped in twice a week to all Keg locations. They come in live and not frozen to ensure maximum freshness.
Disclaimer: I was invited to come in and try the new menu items along with some other influencers. Our meal was paid for, but all opinions are my own.
If I'm ever at the Keg, you bet I'd be sipping on a pitcher of red sangria. It's been my favourite ever since I used to work there 2 years ago, and is still my favourite now. This is hands down the best sangria I've ever had, and I've been to many places for it.
The aperol spritz is a great option if you want something light and less sweet.
A must have at The Keg — baked brie with pesto, red pepper jelly, and crostini. I've raved about this dish many many times and get all my friends to love it as much as I do!
Cheesy and buttery lobster gratinee. There's approximately 6 chunks of lobster sautéed in garlic, butter, herbs, and loaded with melted cheese.
The steak & half lobster option seemed the most best of both worlds deal. Hungry me added an additional half lobster (+$24) and the seafood medley (+15). I was not expecting my portion to be THIS big! It was almost more than enough to feed two people. I enjoyed how easy it was to get the meat out of the shell without making a huge mess and getting food all over myself (like the usual). The seafood medley contained shrimp, lobster, and scallops in a lobster velouté sauce — similar to what you would get in their sirloin oscar. Very delicious, I may add.
Finishing off with the billy miner pie. A lot of people noted how they always see this dessert on my Instagram. I just LOVE it. I might've even tried running a dictatorship at the table and got everyone to order this as well hehe. If you love coffee and not overly sweet desserts, trust me — you'd love this! It's big enough to share between two people but can be easily eaten by one person. Caution: highly addictive.
Overall, this was one of the best dining experience I've ever had, and from the Keg nonetheless. Thank you Head Quarters for the invite! Though this wouldn't be my "go-to" restaurant due to the high prices, it's still worth a try on special occasions.

La família dels apogònids (Apogonidae) és constituïda per peixos de l'ordre dels perciformes semblants als serrànids i dels quals es distingeixen per les dues espines de l'aleta anal i per les escates més grans i poc adherents.

Morfologia
 L'espècie de màxima llargada fa 20 cm, tot i que la majoria no depassen els 10.
 El cos és fusiforme.
 Nombre de vèrtebres: 24 o 25 (10 + 14 o 15)
 Presenten dues aletes dorsals de la mateixa llargària, però més altes que llargues.
 Els ulls són molt grossos amb un diàmetre semblant a la llargària de la primera dorsal.

Reproducció
La incubació dels ous es fa dins la boca.

Alimentació
Mengen zooplàncton i petits invertebrats bentònics.

Hàbitat
La majoria de les seues espècies prefereix viure en coves i a les escletxes de les roques o dels esculls de corall.

Distribució geogràfica
És una família ben representada a les aigües tropicals dels oceans Atlàntic, Índic i Pacífic, i de les seues respectives mars.

Costums
 Moltes espècies són d'hàbits nocturns.
 La majoria de les seues espècies són solitàries o formen una sola parella o petits grups. Tot i així, algunes espècies del Pacífic oriental formen denses agregacions prop de la superfície dels esculls de corall.

Vida en captivitat
En general, s'adapten bé a viure dins d'un aquari.

SSRN, the Social Science Research Network widely used by professors across the country, and the world, has recently launched a iPhone/iPad app.
SSRN is a repository of scholarly research for social sciences and humanities scholarship, including law. The app allows users to search over 260,000 research papers in the SSRN electronic library. The papers can be emailed or viewed right on the device, saving the user time and energy and providing instant access! Check it out today!

Too Many Icons on Your iPad? Here's how to file them!
You know how it goes - load up an app, get another icon...and pretty soon you have screens cluttered with them. To clean up the clutter - and be able to find the icon you want a lot more quickly - you can organize them into folders. Here's how: Hold your finger on any icon until you see an "x" on it (and all the others), then begin to move related ones together. For example, move your Lexis icon onto the Westlaw Next icon, move the Hein icon with those - and you'll see a folder appear holding all of those (the 'folder' is more like an icon holding the smaller ones, which you can still see.) The iPad will automatically give the folder a name, though you can change it if you'd like.

Why drive a normal car when you can race a remodeled one?
Are you tough enough to handle this monster rig?
Start your roaring engines! Race your super trucks through muddy, challenging racetracks across the globe and become the next truck racing champion! Dodge obstacles, go over huge dirt jumps and make your way to the finish line at incredible speeds!
Most monster trucks start their life out as a pick-up truck or SUV...but then they get a mega-makeover. Everything gets bigger and badder, from the engine to the metal-crushing tires, often bigger than a person. (A competition monster truck should be 12 feet tall, 12 feet wide, and have 66-inch offroad tires.) Once upon a time, in the '70s and '80s, monster truck shows were the side shows at Motocross events and the like, but now the tables have turned and it's the monster trucks that are the main attraction. Monster truck rallies are the ultimate expression of the human thirst for destruction: to the soundtrack of (often) pounding rock or metal and the roar of the beer- and snack-fueled crowds, smaller, weaker vehicles are annihilated.
Relive that madness, stepping behind the wheel to do a little crushing and destroying yourself, in our monster truck games. Tear up the turf or other trucks, or pimp out your truck or practice your parking.
Monster truck games don't have to be totally destruction focused, though. Sometimes they're more about racing than ravaging. Monster truck racing games are all about using those boosted engines to annihilate your enemy...on the race track. Leave them in your dust. Kids can even get in on the fun with monster truck games for kids.
Ready to reign down awesome terror from the top of a metal mountain (with an engine)? Make like legendary trucks Bigfoot and Graver Digger and flatten everything in your path? Well, we've got the next best thing: do it online, anytime and anywhere you want, for free.

The Met Gala is officially back and the dress code is…
Penny Goldstone 04/05/2021 11:11 am
Everything you need to know about this year's Gala
Last year, the Met Gala was cancelled for obvious reasons, though that didn't stop influencers creating their own looks as part of the virtual Met Gala challenge.
We can all agree that you can't beat an IRL red carpet though, which is why we're so excited that the event is officially coming back, in two parts no less. It will consist of an intimate affair in September, going back to its usual full scale on 'first Monday in May' in 2022. Here's everything we know so far.
What is the Met Gala 2021 theme?
And this year's theme is… American Independence! It will tie in with the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition for the Costume Institute: In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.
It will be shown in two parts, with part one exploring 'a modern vocabulary of American style emphasising the expressive qualities of dress and deeper associations with issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion'.
Part two 'will present narratives that explore the development of American fashion as they relate to the complex and layered histories of those spaces'.
With that in mind, expect bold gowns by contemporary as well as stalwart American designers such as Christopher John Rogers or Ralph Lauren, though of course the Met Gala red carpet is often about extravagant looks. With that in mind, we wouldn't be surprised to see celebs putting their own spin on the American flag.
The theme of the cancelled 2020 Met Ball was going to be, About Time: Fashion and Duration, marking the Met's 150th anniversary, and was partly inspired by Virginia Woolf and the theories of the early-20th-century French philosopher Henri Bergson.
When is the Met Ball 2021?
The first part of Met Ball will happen on 13th September 2021, while the bigger event will yet again fall on the first Monday of Ma, which in 2022 will be Monday 2nd May.
Who will host the Met Gala 2021?
This year's smaller event will be hosted by co-chairs Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka and honorary chairs Tom Ford, Adam Mosseri, and Anna Wintour. The red carpet will be smaller so fewer guests will attend, but expect a star-studded guest list come May 2022.
Guests are expected to dress in keeping with said theme
The designers, editors and celebrities who attend are all supposed to choose their outfit in accordance with the theme of the year's exhibit. This has seen some incredible successes over the years (we're looking at you, Sarah Jessica Parker in tartan McQueen, 2006) but also some more, shall we say, fancy dress ensembles…
Cam Met Gala guests bring dates?
The MET Ball is a great place to be if you're in a really, really ridiculously good-looking couple. Gigi and Zayn (RIP), Beyonce and Jay Z, Blake and Ryan – every A-list couple gets dressed up to go. And if you haven't got a hot date? You become a muse and hang off the arm of your favourite designer, naturally.
It used to be called the Costume Institute Gala
Fun fashion fact for you there. The gala's been going since 1946, which makes this year's party the 72nd annual event. How will the fashion elite celebrate? With bolder hairdos, flashier jewels and even more enormous couture ensembles than ever before, we'd guess.

Some members have been in touch regarding the recent discussions between UCU and the University on new academic contracts. A statement on this will be issued jointly with the University shortly.
Both UCU and the University are committed to working on this constructively in the future. Following discussions at recent formal negotiation meetings, we can confirm that the clauses mentioned in our previous email regarding fixed working hours and international working will not be included in any new contracts.

Die Villa Schliz ist eine im Jahr 1901 errichtete Villa in der Alexanderstraße 53 in Heilbronn. Das Haus wurde für den Arzt und Altertumsforscher Alfred Schliz erbaut und ist eines der wenigen erhaltenen Jugendstil-Gebäude der Stadt. Die Villa gilt als äußerst seltenes und qualitätvolles Beispiel des floralen Jugendstil in Württemberg.

Beschreibung
Auf dem Lerchenberg östlich der Innenstadt von Heilbronn entstanden seit dem späten 19. Jahrhundert Villen wohlhabender Bürger. Auch der Heilbronner Stadtarzt und Altertumsforscher Alfred Schliz erwarb hier eine Parzelle, die an ein Grundstück der Unternehmerfamilie Knorr angrenzte. 1901 ließ er von den Stuttgarter Architekten Paul Schmohl und Georg Stähelin eine zweigeschossige Villa als Sommerhaus mit Wirtschaftsgebäude errichten. Das Gebäude ist 17,50 Meter lang, 15,55 Meter tief und auf Firsthöhe 14,85 Meter hoch. Das Stallgebäude ist ebenfalls rund 15 Meter lang, aber nur 5 Meter tief. Mit Balkonen und Loggia bot sich der Eindruck einer dreiflügligen Anlage. Mittig auf dem Dach befand sich ein Belvedere mit einem filigranen schmiedeeisernen Aufbau aus der Kunstschmiedewerkstatt von August Stotz, der jedoch bei den Luftangriffen auf Heilbronn im Zweiten Weltkrieg beschädigt und 1956 abgenommen wurde.

Hauptmotiv der im Jugendstil erbauten Villa ist eine über dem nierenförmig ausgeschnittenen Portal und den darüberliegenden Bogenfenstern inmitten einer maßwerkähnlichen floralen Dekoration befindliche Büste der altitalischen Sonnengöttin Sigilgaita, die einer Skulptur aus einer Kapelle in Amalfi nachempfunden ist. Florale Motive finden sich in zahlreichen Details der zur Straße gewandten Westfassade und insbesondere auch in der Inneneinrichtung wieder und lassen sich mit der belgischen Jugendstilarchitektur von Victor Horta vergleichen. Durch angedeutete Obstschalen, Füllhörner, Blüten und Zweige sollte das "Wohnen im Grünen" auch sinnbildlich dargestellt werden.

Geschichte
1947 plante der Sohn des Erbauers, Dr. Manfred Schliz, die Villa durch grundlegende Umbauten in ein Mehrfamilienhaus umzuwandeln, was trotz der damals herrschenden Wohnungsnot von den städtischen Baubehörden untersagt wurde, so dass das Haus weitgehend in seiner originalen Gestalt erhalten blieb. Neben Manfred Schliz bewohnten das Gebäude 1950 fünf Mietparteien, im Nebengebäude 53/1 waren weitere zwei Mietparteien gemeldet. Nach Schliz' Tod kam die Villa in den Besitz von Müllermeister Walter König, der sie 1961 allein nutzte, während das Nebengebäude 53/1 im Besitz einer Erbengemeinschaft war und noch von der Witwe Alice Schliz bewohnt wurde.

Jack the Ripper's first victim, a prostitute named Mary Ann Nichols, was killed today in 1888, setting off the most infamous serial killing spree in history. Nichols was found badly mutilated in the Whitechapel district of London. In the coming months, four more women were brutally killed. The culprit was never identified.
Whitechapel was a very poor district of the city, where prostitution was widespread. A still anonymous murderer, known only by his nickname Jack the Ripper, targeted prostitutes. He killed his second victim on September 8, Annie Chapman. Two more bodies were found on September 30, prostitutes Kate Eddowes and Liz Stride. All were killed and mutilated.
Scotland Yard, through intelligent police work, were able to determine the Ripper's pattern of soliciting girls, luring them into seclusion, and murdering them in ways too violent to recount here. Without the aid of modern forensics, they were at a loss for how to find the killer. They received many letters, almost all of which were fraudulent, claiming to be the murderer. Two, however, recounted details unknown to the public. They were signed "Jack the Ripper."
Jack the Ripper was quiet for a month, and then killed his final victim, a prostitute named Mary Kelly. Hers was the grisliest of all the women's deaths.
His identity remains a mystery today. His file was officially closed in 1892, after the murders stopped and Scotland Yard's leads dried up.

The Threshold can still be used. You would just need to use a heavier bead of construction adhesive or use a filler piece on the subfloor under the bottom of the molding to offer more support to the Threshold.

Q: On Windows, how to run Google's Native Client run outside of Chrome? This question is specifically about Windows (64-bit).
A similar question was asked here, but the answers appear to be specific to Linux (and perhaps OS X).
The non-Windows answer is to use sel_ldr but no such file is present in a Chrome install on Windows.  nacl64.exe seem like it is the file that files the same function.  This page mentions the "NaCl Process" and that even though Chrome is 32-bit process on x64 Windows, sel_ldr needs to be 64-bit and thus a separate process.  I also see nacl64.exe running when my plug-in is loaded, and not running when when I just start Chrome without a NaCl plug-in loaded.
The NaCl plug-in for Visual Studio requires being run on 64-bit windows, thus the comments about 64-bit above.
On this page I found an example that was reported as successful on Linux:
~/nacl_sdk/pepper_19/tools/sel_ldr_x86_64 -B ~/nacl_sdk/pepper_19/tools/irt_x86_64.nexe hello_x86_64.nexe

and here I found this example also for Linux:
/home/ubuntu/nacl_sdk/pepper_19/tools/sel_ldr_x86_32 -a -S -B /home/ubuntu/nacl_sdk/pepper_19/tools/irt_core_x86_32.nexe <plug-in path>

so I tried some commands modeled on that but all have resulted in nacl64.exe crashing:
<user directory>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\23.0.1271.91>nacl64.exe -B nacl_irt_x86_64.nexe <NaCL SDK root>\vs_addin\examples\hello_nacl_cpp\hello_nacl_cpp\NaCl64\newlib\Debug\hello_nacl_cpp_64.nexe

d:\><user directory>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\23.0.1271.64\nacl64.exe -B <user directory>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\23.0.1271.64\nacl_irt_x86_64.nexe <NaCL SDK root>\vs_addin\examples\hello_nacl_cpp\hello_nacl_cpp\NaCl64\newlib\Debug\hello_nacl_cpp_64.nexe

d:\><user directory>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\23.0.1271.64\nacl64.exe -a -S -B <user directory>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\23.0.1271.64\nacl_irt_x86_64.nexe <NaCL SDK root>\vs_addin\examples\hello_nacl_cpp\hello_nacl_cpp\NaCl64\newlib\Debug\hello_nacl_cpp_64.nexe

and I've verified that hello_nacl_cpp_64.nexe works when run in Chrome via a web page.
So then the question is, on Windows, how does one successfully run Google's Native Client run outside of Chrome?

A: You can find sel_ldr.exe and non-browser IRT in NaCl SDK in pepper_<version>/tools folder.
Note that NaCl application can't be run successfully both in browser and sel_ldr. Browser application shouldn't have main, command line application must have it. Also command line application can not use Pepper APIs since sel_ldr doesn't implement them.

The latest muscular dystrophy and ALS research from prestigious universities and journals throughout the world.
Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited diseases that are characterized by weakness and wasting away of muscle tissue, with or without the breakdown of nerve tissue. There are nine types of muscular dystrophy, with each type involving an eventual loss of strength, increasing disability and possible deformity. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death.
What is ALS? What causes ALS? The Ice Bucket Challenge was one of the major viral marketing success stories of recent years and saw over $90m dollars donated to ALS charities. But, what exactly is ALS? Find out here.

Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis and are made up of rRNA and proteins.
Cell walls give bacteria their shape and provide protection. Made of a rigid bilayer of peptidoglycan and techoic acids.
Major components of the cell wall is peptidoglycan, also known as murein which is a large polymer with 3 components.
Gram –ve bacteria also have a LPS endotoxin with 3 components and a lipid A, which is highly toxic.
Capsule on bacteria surrounds cells and is made of polypeptides and polysaccharides, this can be seen be staining.
Glycocalyx is a slimy outter layer on bacteria that is involved in adhesion, clumping and biofilm formation in vivo.
