I took inspiration from beach life. I used to work on a ship in Australia travelling from one island to the next, with salt sprayed hair and days feeling the sand between your toes. The colours reflect this with the clear blue and sandy yellows. I enjoyed adding the details like the necklace made by The 2 Bandits. Its painted on a deep edge hand stretched canvas which is signed on the front.


We might already know who we're gonna be calling in the new Ghostbusters.
Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillen say goodbye to their time on Avengers: Endgame. Star Trek: Discovery's executive producer promises a lighter, more celebratory second season. The new Creepshow could be adapting a Stephen King story. Plus tons of posters for Alita: Battle Angel, Hellboy, and John Wick: Chapter 3. Hi-o Spoilers, away!
We might have only just got official word that Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters film is, after years of talk, actually happening, but THR's Borys Kit reports the new Ghostbusters will star the next generation of paranormal investigators: four teens, two boys and two girls.
Both Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillen revealed they've recently wrapped reshoots on Avengers: Endgame.

Things look bad for John Wick on a stylish new poster from Bloody-Disgusting. Did you catch that excellent first trailer yesterday?

Member on Wednesday last, he has received appeals against surcharges in the case of certain other London boards of guardians. These appeals are receiving consideration, and my right hon. Friend will give a decision in due course.

You probably have heard of Blue Apron/Hello Fresh/Freshly, or probably even tried it. If you have tried it, like most people, you probably stopped using it, because it still takes a long time to cook and it is not inexpensive. Well...there is now a better alternative.
If you want to save time, save money, eat healthy and happen to live in Los Angeles, I have found the perfect solution for you: EveryTable (not sponsored).
Everytable is an affordable, healthy, ready-to-eat food service company with locations in Los Angeles. Yes! affordable, healthy and no need to cook, all in one! I especially love their mission statement.
Our mission is to make nutritious, fresh food affordable and accessible to all.
WHAT EXACTLY IS ON THE TABLE?
Everytable provides cold bowls (salads), hot plates, kids meals and desserts. I have tried them from the Baldwin Hills location. I believe the highest value comes from the hot plates, then salads.
Attached is the menu from the Baldwin Hills location. As you can see, pricing is typically around $5.
Everytable adjusts its pricing based on the community it serves. They truly stand behind their mission with action. Love it! Most locations charge $5 per hot plate.Even the pricing on the Westside is very reasonable at $8. Below is a simple map that shows their pricing and locations. Even the pricing on the Westside is very reasonable. Most locations charge $5 per hot plate.Even the pricing on the Westside is very reasonable at $8.
Hands down, Everytable is the best solution to save time, save money and eat health. Unfortunately, if you live outside of Los Angeles, you are out of luck for now.


Recently I became a parent... of a Junior High and High School student(s) in Granite School District. As with many secondary schools there were all the 'annoying' disclosure statements that say the same thing and parents need to sign. I am now on the other side of those forms and am so glad that I never really did a normal <disclosure> one when I was teaching. (I never asked for them back or had parents sign them). Seriously what does it matter that a parent "agrees" to how a teacher runs their classroom? I mean yes, it is good to know but teachers have other way of getting my contact info.
The worst part was filling out my contact info for each teacher. I finally just told teachers to contact me through Gradebook or Canvas. Teachers DO NOT NEED to collect that information from parents or students. The school already has it in Canvas and Gradebook (via Discovery). If the parents have not done this they probably are the same type who are not going send back a disclosure statement too. It is also the dreaded double edged sword of teacher don't use it because parents don't register. Well teachers - why should they if you don't use it...?
One teacher asked me how to do that... So here goes. Well maybe this is not the right place for those instructions. I will send instructions to the staff later. BUT - STUDENTS you must set up your profiles in G book and Canvas with your CORRECT e-mail address one that you check. Here is how to do that. I show everyone (students) that comes to the Sophomore Orientation but I know absences happen, and teachers don't bother o come to orientation.
Parents - you need to register through the Parent Portal and you get notified that way. After that is completed teachers will have access to e-mail you through Grade book and canvas. There is no need for teachers to store 200 or so e-mail address for their students and respective parents.
If teachers use Grade book to send e-mail, Grade data can be sent as well. In the Canvas Grades teachers can message those who have or have not turned in the assignment. Teachers don't even need to know or see the actual addresses in the e-mail.
It is so much easier for both parties to NOT have to collect and store individual e-mails. Let Canvas / Gradebook and Discovery do their job.
Teacher if you insist on collecting student parent contact info on your own at least use a Google Form so that YOU don't fill up your address book/Contacts with hundreds of address that you probably will never use.
What is it? Social post it notes on steroids. A teacher can pose a question. Students answer by using the provided link and notes appear on the page. Everyone can see all notes. Pictures and text can be added.
Teacher makes "a board" or wall with instructions or a question and gives students the link or a QR code. Students then go to link and click and type. Easy. Boards (or walls) can be copied or duplicated for use with a different periods - without prior content.
Introductions of students. Add a picture and a few things about yourself.
What do you think about the main Character.
Bottom line is that it is a discussion board so be creative and enjoy.
Yes there is an app but the webpage works just fine.

The Vine and the Branches: Lessons on the Book of John,...
Advent Devotions: Son of David
by Kari Vo | Dec 26, 2022 | Advent Devotions, Christmas
"But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son, and you shall call His Name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.'" (Matthew 1:20-21 ESV)
Why did the angel call Joseph "son of David"?
God had promised many years ago that the Messiah would come from David's family. As a son of David, Joseph would pass that on to his legal son Jesus (along with the natural descent from David Jesus had through His mother).
But I think there might be more to it, important as that is. David was known as the "man after God's own heart," the one who sinned deeply, but loved God just as deeply. When God sent David's life in strange new directions, David listened and followed. He relied on God's promises. Now the angel calls this son of David, Joseph, to an even stranger life—protecting and caring for God's own Son Jesus and His mother.
"Do not fear," the angel says. God will be with him at every step. This Son that God is giving into Joseph's hands will be his Savior as well—so Joseph will have the privilege of saving his Savior, providing for his Provider. And Joseph will name Him Jesus—this Child, God Himself, come into the world to save us from our sins and to provide us with everlasting life.
Prayer: Help me to trust You, dear Lord, like Joseph and David did. Amen.
* Has your life been mostly as you expected when you were young, or not?
* What do you think must have been odd about raising the Child Jesus?
* Tell about a time when your life took a strange turn and you found help in the Lord.
Advent Devotions were written by Dr. Kari Vo.

Most people look forward to a long life and enjoying their golden years. As much as many look forward to spending time with their grandchildren and retiring, old age isn't always the restful experience it is touted to be.
One of the biggest causes of dissatisfaction in old age is poor health as the body begins to break down. If unchecked, poor health can lead to premature death, depression, and disability. As soon as possible, make sure your parent is registered in a reputable hospital and goes regularly for a check-up to treat any possible ailments ahead of time.
Also, as people get older, they will need to make some lifestyle changes such as cutting back on sugar, alcohol and red meat. As much as possible, help them with the transition to their new lifestyle by drawing up an eating plan, finding supermarkets that sell the healthy food they need, and so on.
Also, get them registered to some sort of light exercise programme to make sure they stay active even in their later years.
This is particularly important if you live far away from your elderly parents or if they live alone. Have a life alert button set up for them so that they may call for help if they are injured. If they live in a home with high stairs and have trouble climbing them, a stair lift will help a lot.
In their bathroom, make sure a bathing seat is installed to reduce the chance of them falling down, and have their medicines and food kept within easy reach to avoid them having to move around a lot.
One of the biggest issues facing the elderly is loneliness, especially as their friends begin to pass on. To prevent this, sign your parent up for a regular hobby such as chess and volunteer work that will have other people of their age group. This gives them something to look forward to and to get out of bed for which will, in turn, give them a sense of purpose. Also, it will help them make new friends and companions.
While good healthcare and hobbies are important, your parent will likely appreciate spending time with you and their grandchildren, if they have any. Call them regularly and visit them periodically to brighten their day and keep your bond.
Your parent getting old doesn't mean they are damned to a life of dissatisfaction and loneliness. Take the above steps to make your elderly parents' lives better.

Freda Heller is a remarkable woman. At 98 years young, she is still going strong and oversees some of the baking at Adat Shalom. We are fortunate that Heller has shared her famous recipe for Mandel Brot, a cookie which is much like biscotti. People at the synagogue rave about it!
To make Freda Heller's Mandel Brot, you'll need a 4-sided baking sheet.
Combine all dry ingredients, except for sugar and set aside.
Place sugar in a separate bowl and set aside.
With a whisk, beat oil, eggs and vanilla until frothy. Add this mixture to the bowl of sugar.
Mix vigorously with a large wooden spoon until creamy.
Add the dry ingredients to the egg/oil/vanilla/sugar mixture and stir together until it forms a ball.
Place the ball of dough onto a baking sheet and flatten to fit edge to edge. There should be enough batter to fill three sheets, about half an inch thick.
Place in preheated oven and bake 28 to 30 minutes.
Remove from oven. While cookies are still in the pan, cut across with a spatula to make 6 separate sections; remove 2 at a time.
Slice wide, about 3/4-inch slices.
On an empty baking sheet, place the cookies, cut side facing upward.
Place in the oven to complete baking again for 9 to 10 minutes.
To taste Freda's Mandel Brot without any of the muss and fuss, visit Bubbe's Bakery at the San Diego Jewish Food Festival.
Sunshine Cake by Gloria Sheinbein, Jewish Food Festival "Founder"

Take a jaunt down memory lane to revisit some highlights on the sensor systems, hardware, and challenges related to autonomous transport technology.
The Promise of Accessible Mobility
With a technology as challenging to develop as autonomous vehicles, the rewards of R&D must be steep. Some in the industry have promised sweeping improvements to road safety if we let machines take the wheel. But beyond the hope of reducing traffic collision-related fatalities, some also think that autonomous vehicles will also provide opportunities for democratization of mobility.
CES kicked off 2018 in January, where Toyota's President Akio Toyoda announced the concept of the e-Palette customizable autonomous vehicle, a hybrid transportation and mobile storefront that Toyota presented as a viable future for smart cities.

Such large-scale autonomous vehicle systems would still require some measure of communication with embedded sensors in traffic features and even things like streetlamps. But the prospect of "mobility as a service" may be worth the investment in smart infrastructure.
Sensing Technologies for Driverless Cars
In terms of sensing, solid-state LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) had several big moments in relation to autonomous vehicles. LiDAR uses light beams to map the nearby surroundings and is arguably easier than using two cameras to form a stereoscopic image. Most (if not all) commercial LiDAR systems require a laser and rotating platform to direct the beam, but some companies are developing solid-state LiDAR systems which won't require moving parts.
In August, we saw the release of what LeddarTech claims was the "world's first" 3D solid-state LiDAR SoC, signaling a new step towards giving engineers autonomous-vehicle-specific components.
Persistent Problems, Dangers, and Challenges
But with those advancements in sensor systems come anxieties. In April, a group of researchers from several US universities published a paper on how third parties can interfere with autonomous vehicle sensor systems by changing physical road signs. This is an example of the myriad vulnerabilties that still sow fears about the security of autonomous vehicles, carrying over from 2018 to 2019.

These sensor challenges have real-world consequences. Early March brought tragedy as an Uber autonomous vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona—the first collision of its kind in history. Immediately, companies like Waymo and Intel compared vision systems, enumerating the reasons why their own autonomous systems were unlikely to experience similar failure.
October marked 7th annual ROSCon, an event held to discuss ROS (Robotic Operating System), an open software platform for robotics. At this year's event, there were several panels and conversations dedicated to the incorporation of ROS in autonomous vehicles. Whether industries and consumers alike will take to open platforms in an area as safety-driven as autonomous vehicles is yet to be seen.
The Future of Autonomous Vehicles
So what does 2019 hold in store for this ambitious and controversial technology?
Beyond Consumer Cars
Autonomous vehicles aren't just cars. This January, mining company Rio Tinto announced their bid for the "world's biggest robot" in their automated rail system for ore transport. Where commercial self-driving cars will almost certainly require smarter cities to function, a different set of issues face industrial sectors that want to automate transport.
2019 will almost certainly hold more news regarding the use of automation in manufacturing and industrial settings such as mining, manufacturing, undersea operations, supply chain monitoring, transport, and more.
For proof, check out Waymo's autonomous truck project for semi-truck load hauling.

Autonomous vehicle development has also caught the attention of some big-name companies including Apple and Google who intend to integrate their AI systems into autonomous vehicles. Despite that Apple is not well known for their AI systems (unlike Amazon and Google), Apple's CEO Tim Cook announced that they are developing a "Mother of all AIs" which could be incorporated into self-driving cars.
Regardless of which sensor systems a manufacturer pursues, sensor fusion will remain a hot topic for making all of that wealth of sensor data usable for an autonomous system. Companies like Tactile Mobility are developing sensor fusion platforms to allow more powerful, accurate sensor data usage for these vehicles and other systems.
V2X Connectivity
The looming introduction of 5G networks may also affect V2X (vehicle-to-everything) connectivity as self-driving cars. Cybersecurity and open-source platforms will also likely continue to be at the forefront of this corner of the industry.
Mass Production?
While it still seems that mass production of autonomous vehicles seems like a distant concept, Waymo announced two days ago that they will be producing vehicles in Michigan beginning this year.

Translation Honors Awarded at ALTA's Annual Conference
The American Literary Translators Association (ALTA), which is housed at UT Dallas, presented top awards to two separate collections of poetry at its annual conference, held in Kansas City on Nov. 17.
Lisa Rose Bradford received the 2011 National Translation Award for her translation of Between Words: Juan Gelman's Public Letter (Coimbra Editions, 2010). The $5,000 prize is given annually to the translator whose work, by virtue of both its quality and significance, has made the most valuable contribution to literary translation.
Lisa Rose Bradford won the National Translation Award.
Charles Egan was honored with the 2011 Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize for Clouds Thick, Whereabouts Unknown: Poems by Zen Monks of China (Columbia University Press, 2010). The $5,000 Stryk prize, which was established by an anonymous donor, recognizes the best book-length translation into English of Asian poetry or of source texts from Zen Buddhism.
Bradford teaches Comparative Literature at the Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata in Argentina. She has edited two compendiums on translation and cultural studies and two U.S. poetry anthologies in Spanish. Three volumes of her translations of Juan Gelman have been published to date. In addition, Bradford's poems and translations have appeared in various magazine and journals.
Between Words: Juan Gelman's Public Letter consists of a series of poetic elegies addressed by the Argentinian poet-in-exile to his son, Marcelo, who disappeared in 1976 in Argentina's "dirty war." First published in Spain in 1980, Gelman's work was warmly and enthusiastically embraced throughout the Spanish-speaking world, garnering the author numerous prizes, including the prestigious Premio Cervantes. Public Letter, in the words of Bradford, represents an attempt "to come to terms with sorrow and exile by showing how poetry can heroically rise up against death with incessant and poignant beauty."
"This is more than just an honor; it is solid encouragement for the translator's creative work," said Bradford. "The conversion of Gelman's rhythmic lines, intertextualities, unorthodox grammar, and wordplay into English requires a great deal of challenging inventiveness."
Charles Egan was honored with the Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize.
Charles Egan, winner of the 2011 Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize, is Professor of Chinese and Director of the Chinese Flagship Partner Program at San Francisco State University. His interests include Classical Chinese literature and culture, medieval China and Buddhism. He has published numerous articles on Chinese poetry, folk songs, and art, and is a frequent translator.
Clouds Thick, Whereabouts Unknown presents 190 poems by monk-poets of the eighth to 17th centuries, in styles ranging from vernacular and direct to imagistic and evocative.
"I am deeply grateful to ALTA for this award, as it is recognition from those who really understand how difficult translation can be, my fellow translators. Given the vast differences between the Chinese and English languages, and the literary traditions of East and West, composing translations that both work in English and are true to the original sources requires a delicate balancing act," Egan said.
The jury for the Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize praised Clouds Thick, Whereabouts Unknown for "not only the high quality of its translations, which strive to keep a handsome formal ease even when observing in English the demands of syntactic parallelism, but also the considerable scholarship that Egan employs with admirable accessibility."
ALTA, which is housed at The University of Texas at Dallas, is dedicated to the promotion of literary translation through services to literary translators, forums on the theory and practice of translation, and collaboration with the international literary community.

The world of work is facing dramatic change driven by technology, demographic shifts and the evolving expectations of talent. Most recently, we have also witnessed a profound shift in the mindset of organisations and the role they are expected to play within wider society.
No longer measured solely on their financial performance and the quality of their products and services, organisations are also judged on the way they treat and engage with their staff and customers, the support they give to the communities in which they operate and their impact on society as a whole. This is increasingly important for attracting and retaining staff, building a strong reputation and cultivating loyalty amongst customers. The 2018 Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends survey charts 'The rise of the social enterprise'. Read on to explore this year's trends.
Business leaders and Chief Human Resource Officers (CHROs) recognise the need to actively and strategically manage relationships with workforce segments beyond the enterprise, which increasingly affect how an organisation delivers services and interacts with customers. Organisations are finding ways to align their culture and management practices with these external talent segments — engaging the workforce ecosystem for mutual benefit. Read the chapter.
In a 21st-century career, the individual and his or her experiences take center stage. Instead of a steady progression along a job-based pathway, leading organisations are shifting towards a model that empowers individuals to acquire valuable experiences, explore new roles, and continually reinvent themselves.Read the chapter.


Turn new hires into experts through various skills transfer approaches. Here we look at the 'apprenticeship' approach. Every new employee should work as an apprentice to an established expert. Most apprenticeship programs will last six months to a year--the amount of time it takes to make a paradigm shift.
The apprentice, to fit this pattern, should be a genuine apprentice, a single person working alongside the expert, as opposed to one of several juniors who are receiving mentoring. That approach is covered in the DayCare pattern. DevelopingInPairs is often used in conjunction with this technique. A good master can ensure the apprentice receives a thorough grounding, yet sharing the role of master by using other skills transfer approaches can give more rapid and more broad education, and mitigate the effects of a poor master. Without a single master in a one-to-one relationship keeping an eye on topics covered there is more risk of gaps in the skills learned, yet any self-motivated apprentice will soon fill the gaps.

Q: Read and delete files from folder I am trying to write a program to read each file from a folder and after the contents in the file are read the file should get deleted. I could write programs to read the files from a folder and delete files from a folder separately, but couldn't integrate both of them in one program.

A: You can use something like the following method:
 public static void listFilesForFolder(File folder) {
     for (final File fileEntry : folder.listFiles()) {

        try {

            File newFile = new File(fileEntry.getName()));

            /*read the newFile whatever way you want to*/

           /* then after reading delete it */

            if(newFile.delete()){
              System.out.println("File is deleted");
            }else {
              System.out.println("Could not delete file");
            };

        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        }
    }

You can Put the folder name in the following way:
File newFile = new File("C://path//to//file//" + fileEntry.getName());

A: Here is the Java Code I wrote and tested. It works fine.
It will first list all the files in the specified directory and all levels of sub-directories inside it.
Then it will read all files in specified directory & all levels of sub-directories inside it one by one, then delete them once it has finished reading a file.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public class RecursiveFileDisplay {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File currentDir = new File("D:\\test"); // current directory
        File[] fileList = displayDirectoryContents(currentDir);
        readAndDeleteFiles(fileList);
    }

    public static File[] displayDirectoryContents(File dir) {
        File[] files = null;
        try {
            files = dir.listFiles();
            for (File file : files) {
                if (file.isDirectory()) {
                    System.out.println("directory:" + file.getCanonicalPath());
                    //recursive call to fetch file list in all levels of sub-directories
                    displayDirectoryContents(file);
                } else {
                    System.out.println("     file:" + file.getCanonicalPath());

        for(File file : fileList){
            if (!file.isDirectory()){
                try {

                    String sCurrentLine;

                    br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file.getCanonicalPath()));
                    if (br != null){

                        while ((sCurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                            System.out.println(sCurrentLine);
                        }

                        br.close();
                        System.out.println("Finished reading file : " + file.getCanonicalPath());
                    }

                    //deleting file
                    if(file.delete()){
                        System.out.println(file.getCanonicalPath() + " is deleted!");

                        System.out.println(file.getCanonicalPath() + " could not be deleted!");
                    }

                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

This observation supports the hypothesis that a now extinct megaherbivore may have been the mutualist. It is at times eaten by horses (Turner, 2010, p. 48), but the seeds do not seem to survive the equine gut passage (Boone et al., 2015), making dispersal by native, pre-Columbian horses unlikely. No benefit of (though also no damage resulting from) passing through a proboscidean gut was shown in a feeding experiment carried out with the help of an Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) acting as a surrogate (Boone et al., 2015). The giant ground sloth (Megalonychidae: Megalonyx jeffersonii) has also been discussed as a possible mutualist (Bronaugh, 2010).
The exercise described below was part of a dendrology module and a forestry and forest ecology module for university students in teacher's training (M.Ed.) in biology, agriculture, and horticulture. The location was the Berlin Botanical Garden's arboretum, which holds several specimens of the species.
To avoid the artificial context of post hoc methods such as interviews, which harbor a risk of reactivity (Cotton et al., 2010) and do not capture the authenticity of the first encounter with the object, the work was evaluated by observation, aided by field notes on students' contribution to the discussion.
When we approached the tree, I opened the exercise by offering a few details on the tree's distribution and past uses (see above), avoiding mention of aspects that might influence the students' own observations and perceptions. I initiated and supported discussion with a few guiding questions, as students on their own are unlikely to come to conclusions that are equivalent to results generated in long-term research (Hammer, 1997). The questions were intended to both trigger engagement with the object and induce hypothesis formation.
The first guiding question was "What does this remind you of?" Not surprisingly, mostly large, roundish fruits such as apple, orange, and even pomegranate were named. To students comparing it to an apple, I cited the common name "hedgeapple." To those likening it to an orange, I pointed out that (apart from the obvious reference in the name Osage-orange) an old synonym, M. aurantiaca, refers to this similarity in shape and that the fruit was sometimes fraudulently sold as a type of orange to unsuspecting customers (N.N., 1836). One student compared it to a strawberry, for its rugose textured surface. One student saw a resemblance to breadfruit and was told that the plant was, in accordance with the taxonomy, occasionally referred to as "breadfruit's cousin" (Thone, 1936). Several not-too-surprising nonbotanical comparisons were brought up. A student who, in jest, compared the fruit to a "brain" for its furrowed surface was told that it is indeed sometimes called "monkey brains" (Weeks et al., 2010, p. 300). Students who likened it to horse droppings were quoted lines by poet Ernest Kroll (1914–1993), who saw "The Osage orange drop its hideous fruit/ Upon the cracking walk like a green / Excrement. . ." (Kroll, 1955, p. 57).
When asked to describe the fruit's scents, students mostly struggled for words that would fit and typically just referred to a "citrus-like" note or chose "green" and "fresh" as descriptions. All perceived it as a pleasant aroma.
seedlings and the parent tree. "Animals" was an obvious answer.
though probably not very efficient, way of dispersal.
a likely disperser, considering the size and firmness of the fruit.
phology of a plant gave a clue to the morphology of an elusive animal.
carry away the fruit, such as eagles or vultures, are carnivorous.
Studying the fruit, it appears that an ideal disperser would swallow it without too much chewing. This excludes further candidates. It is too big for deer to swallow. Native equids of the Americas are extinct, and Old World horses and donkeys – potential "surrogate species" – were brought across the Atlantic only in the early 16th century. In addition, the seeds do not survive the equine gut passage well (Boone et al., 2015). On the mention of dinosaurs, I commented that this hypothesis could not be rejected on the basis of animal anatomy, but solely in light of the timescales. As for the elephant, I agreed that the fruit had the shape and size of tropical "elephant fruits." Also, elephants have a rather inefficient digestion, and Maclura seeds were shown to survive passage through their gut. The sound of dropping Osage-oranges may also be thought of as similar to that of some large elephant fruits that cause a quite perceivable sound and thus, like a "talking drum," call in the disperser. However, it had to be noted that elephants were few and far between in the wild in the Americas.

Orange Democratic Movement Party
2nd Respondent
Chairman, Odm Party
3rd Respondent
Odm Party National Election Board
4th Respondent
1.The Appellant John Millar Otieno and 1st Respondent Lawrence Otieno Odhimabo were both cleared by their party – Orange Democratic Movement Party (ODM) the 2nd Respondent to vie for the position of Member of the County Assembly (MCA) for Sarang'ombe Ward within Nairobi County.
2.On the 21/4/2022, pursuant to the ODM Party Nomination Rules, the party nominated Appellant John Millar Otieno and issued him with a Direct nomination provisional certificate. On the same day, the party (ODM) issued a Notice for nomination of candidates by universal suffrage on the 22/4/2022 for the same Ward. John Millar Otieno participated in the nominations by Universal Suffrage, but lost to the 1st Respondent. John Millar Otieno raised a complaint to the ODM National Elections Board (NEB) whereupon deliberations were held on the 26/4/2022. In a decision dated the 27/4/2022, the complaint was dismissed, and upheld the complainant's nomination.
3.The 1st Respondent (Lawrence Otieno Odhiambo) then appealed to the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal (PPDT) vide Complaint No. E052 of 2022 (Nairobi). His complaint as may be seen from the Tribunal's proceedings was that despite being the winner, the party and NEB failed to issue him with the Nomination Certificate for the MCA position of the Sarang'ombe Ward, for no good reason, and that ODM and its NEB failure to issue him with the requisite nomination certificate was in breach of his legitimate expectation, and an infringement of his political rights and are couched in mischief to deny him the party ticket. Further, such denial had caused him great loss of resources and time.
4.Upon hearing the complaint, the PPDT made its findings by its judgment dated and delivered on the 9/5/2022 in the following terms; thusa.The complaint herein is allowed.b.The decision of the 1st Respondent Appeals Tribunal is upheld.c.The decision by the 3rd Respondent to issue the 4th Respondent with a direct nomination is hereby declared null and void.d.The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Respondents are hereby directed to forthwith issue to the Complainant the final nomination certificate to contest for the Member of County Assembly for Sarang'ombe Ward, in any event within 24 hours of this order, and to forward his name to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.e.Ordinarily, this tribunal equates political parties with families and is reluctant in most cases to award costs against the members of the same party. But in the instant case, the Respondents have caused unnecessary suffering to the complainant and therefore the 1st Respondent ought to compensate the complainant in terms of cost of this proceedings and the Tribunal hereby so orders.
5.The above orders are the subject of the appeal hereof. The Memorandum of Appeal raises several grounds, being:-1.The learned Tribunal erred in law and fact by failing to appreciate the provisions of Rules 8 & 23 of the ODM Party primaries and Nomination Rules 2021 in so far as the nomination exercise of the parties are concerned.2.The Learned Tribunal erred in law by failing to appreciate that the modes of nominations under Rule 8 of the ODM Party Primaries and Nomination Rules, 2021 can be applied inclusively and not exclusively.3.The Learned Tribunal's judgment erred in fact and law by failing to consider overwhelming evidence to impeach the character of the 1st Respondent in his past conduct as an incumbent MCA of the party.4.The Learned Tribunal erred in fact and in law in failing to consider the views and submissions of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Respondents, being the Representatives of the Party, on the errors in the conduct of Party Nominations, which ultimately created conflicting expectations from both the Appellant and the 1st Respondent through no fault of the Appellant.5.The Learned Tribunal erred in fact and in law in apply the doctrine of legitimate expectation to favor the 1st Respondent without noting that it also applies to the Appellant.6.The Learned Tribunal erred in law in failing to appreciate the effect of its judgment on the doctrine of party autonomy and internal governance.7.The Learned Tribunal erred in law in failing to appreciate that one of the fundamental factors that coalesce members into a political party is 'ideology' which it was clearly demonstrated at the Tribunal that the 1st Respondent and the Party have divergent ideologies from his past conduct.8.The learned Tribunal erred in law in misconstruing and misapplying the provisions of the Political Parties Act, 2011.
6.It is proposed to ask the Court for an order that: -i.The Appeal be allowed.ii.The whole of the judgment and/or orders of the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal be set aside and/or vacated in its entirety.iii.The nomination exercise of the Sarang'ombe ward be nullified and the party be directed to conduct a fresh, free, and fair nomination exercise that meets the legitimate expectations of all parties involved and within a reasonable time.
7.The said grounds may be summarized into three, which will also be the issues for determination:a.Whether the ODM party and its NEB conducted two nomination exercises, and if so, which ought to take precedence, and/or be upheld?b.Whether the ODM party and its NEB erred in undertaking two nomination exercises.c.Whether the PPDT Judgment should be set aside and if the answer is in the affirmative, what orders commend themselves for issuing, in the circumstances of the appeal.d.Costs.
8.Parties filed written submissions which I have considered. There is no dispute that ODM party conducted two nomination exercises; a fact admitted by all the parties to this appeal. Indeed, in their submissions the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Respondents conceded to the above in the following terms:"However, due to an inadvertent error, the Sarang'ombe Ward nomination process proceeded by universal suffrage wherein erroneously including the 1st Respondent, who during his term in office, had violated the party principles, ideologies and interest (paragraph 1.2).
9.And, based on the erroneous nomination process, the 1st Respondent appealed to the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal wherein it unpled his complaint thus provoking this Appeal (paragraph 1.3).In no uncertain terms the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Respondents support the Appeal, for the obvious reasons stated above.
10.It is also conceded by the above Respondents that on the 21st April 2021, a day before the nominations, a direct ticket had been issued to the Appellant citing Section 38A of the Political Parties Act, the Respondents submitting that it was within their mandate and discretion to conduct the nominations by any of the following methods;a.Direct party nomination, orb.Indirect party nomination
11.The above is further buttressed by the Party's Nomination Rules to wit, Rule 8(b) and 23. Rule 23 clearly provides that the party may use Direct Nomination method where due diligence exercise has been carried out to justify the use of the said method, upon consideration of the following factors:a.Where there is confirmation that the aspirant is the only qualified candidate for the position that is the subject of the electoral exercise or stands elected.b.That the party leadership has for compelling reasons recommended that it is in the best interest of the party to issue direct party nomination to certain candidates.
12.The Appellant while conceding to the methods a party may use to nominate a candidate. Pursuant to the Party Nomination Rules, it is submitted that the party had made a resolution, clearly admitted by the Respondents in the affidavit of Abdullahi Diriye, and therefore no mistake had been made in error or inadvertently in directly nominating the Appellant, but that his participation in the Universal Suffrage nomination exercise was as a result of the confusion caused by the party and its organs to call for the nominations after the direct ticket had been issued.
13.As a result, it is submitted by the Appellant that he was validly nominated by the ODM Party, in the first instance, and whatever came thereafter was in his view immaterial, and should be ignored, and further that theTribunal's holding that the 1st Respondent's legitimate expectation was infringed without considering his rights and legitimate expectation cannot stand. I was urged to consider the order of nomination stated under clause 8 of the 2021 ODM Rules; and find that Direct Ticketing comes first, before Universal Suffrage method.
14.These errors on the part of the party and its NEB caused the confusion. No party in that case ought to be punished or benefit from the confusion or errors; save for the ODM and its NEB, to the exclusion of the Appellant and the 1st Respondent.
15.On the matter of legitimate expectation, the Supreme Court of Kenya in the case Communications Commission of Kenya & 5 others vs Royal Media Services & 5 others said;"legitimate expectation would arise when a body, by representation or by practice has aroused an expectation that is within its powers to fulfil. Therefore, an expectation to be legitimate, it must be founded upon a promise or practice by public authority that is expected to fulfil the expectation."
16.To that extent then, the Appellant who had been issued with the Direct Ticket held the party to fulfil its promise, and by practice, was under no obligation to heed to the notice to participate in the Universal suffrage nominations before his Direct Ticket was either withdrawn or cancelled.
17.As I have alluded above, whether served or not with notice that a dispute had been filed at the PPDT, in my considered view, there was no necessity for him to defend himself therein. Nevertheless, the PPDT went ahead to issue adverse pronouncements or decision against him, without proper investigation as to whether the Appellant was properly served with the notice of the institution of the complaint and the hearing date. This is another procedural flaw committed by the PPDT, to the disadvantage of the Appellant.
18.I have looked at Rule 8 of the ODM Primaries and Nominations Rules. Rule 8 (a), (b), (c) and (d) state the methods of nominations. They are stated in the following order of priority;a.Consensus among candidates, party and community representatives.b.Direct nominationsc.The use of delegates system through the Electoral College System.d.Universal Suffrage of registered party members.
19.By the above, Direct Nomination method ranks high above Universal Suffrage. The party was well aware of the rules when it gave a Direct Ticket to the Appellant. I am not persuaded that, it was an inadvertent error when it ordered a second nomination by Universal Suffrage. Those errors should not be visited upon the candidate who was given the Direct Ticket that dushed his legitimate expectation.No doubt then, that the 2nd - 4th Respondents conceded and supported the appeal, for setting aside the PPDT's decision, nor to the one who won in the universal nominaitons.
20.What is at issue in my considered opinion is whether the PPDT properly exercised its discretion to issue the orders it did, despite the clear material facts before it. I am persuaded that the Party undertook a due diligence exercise on the Appellant before handing him with the Direct Ticket; unlike in the case of the 1st Respondent whose character during his service as the incumbent were wanting. Further, it is submitted that the 1st Respondent was no longer a member of the Party, thus, had the PPDT interrogated those facts and submissions by counsel placed before it, it would have come to a different finding.
21.In the case of Thomas Ludindi Mwadeghu vs John Mruttu & another [2017] e KLR, the court held:"it is the duty of the party to decide on one, the process to use to come up with a nominee, and two, who would represent them."Further in Samuel Owino Wakiaga vs ODM & 2 others, [2017] e KLR, Achode J statedIt is my considered view that form that moment on, the first process of nomination ended and the second process of identifying a nominee began pursuant to the orders of the NAT. the Central Committee which deliberated and identified a nominee I its powers under Article 7.5, A.2 of its Constitution where its functions are outlined.It is not the duty of the court to micromanage parties and direct them on such mundane matters such as how to communicate with its organs, themselves or in law in their constitution and rules."The only rider is that the method employed by the party must be in conformity with the law and its rules of nomination and its constitution.
22.The above was further held and expanded in different decisions; among them Michael Ojala Nyangi vs Hezron Okoth Onditi & others [2022] e KLR (Thande J) and Jacob Ochieng Ogutu vs ODM & 2 others [2022] e KLR (Mulwa J.).In the latter case, the Court considered the case Francis Gitau Parsimei vs National Alliance Party & another, Nbi Petition No. 356 of 2012 [2012] e KLR, where Majanja J. held:"at the core is whether the court should intervene to stop the electoral process so that a party who claims his or her rights have been infringed can agitate his rights before the court… it must be clear that political rights are exercised through a political process involving many actors – the citizens and institutions. This is the process provided for under the provisions of Chapter Seven of the Constitution cited "representation of the people" these provisions are operationalized by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries commission Act, 2011, the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act 2011… it is therefore proper that Political rights are realized within a structured process that takes into account the larger interests of society and the need for a free and fair election which is enhanced by a self-contained dispute resolution mechanism underpinned by the Constitution itself enacted to give effect to its provisions. See also Francis Mutuku vs Wiper Democratic Movement Kenya [2015] e KLR.
23.It is now trite and settled that the court will not ordinarily interfere with the internal processes, procedures and dispute resolution mechanisms of a Political Party. Where there is a clear procedure for redress of any particular grievance prescribed under the Constitution or an Act of Parliament, that procedure should be strictly followed. See Speaker of the National Assembly vs James Njenga Karume [1992] e KLR.
24.Direct and Indirect Nomination process are well provided in the ODM Party Nomination Rules. However, both cannot be invoked at the same time, and this, as stated under Rule 8, Direct Nomination takes precedence. There would be no basis at all to hold otherwise. The 2nd ,3rd and 4th Respondents support the Appeal as earlier on stated, obviously due to the errors they committed in conducting the two nominations at the same time, thus creating the confusion to the candidates, notably the Appellant and the 1st Respondent.
25.To that end, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Respondents' proposal that with view to maintaining peace and harmony amongst its members, the court has been urged to refer the matter back to the party for an amicable solution of the dispute between the party members.On the part of the Appellant, I have been urged to find that the PPDT has no authority to direct the ODM party what to do or who to nominate, or what method it ought to use for its nominations
26.I am bound by the provisions stated under the Party's Nomination Rules and its constitution, notably Rule 8 and Rule 23 where the methods for party nominations are stated – see paragraph 18 above.Section 2 of the Political Parties Act defines a Political Party as:"An association of citizens with an identifiable ideology or programme that is constituted for the purpose of influencing public policy of nominating candidates to contest elections"
27.Having stated and held that the party processes and procedures on nominations ought to be followed, I find the PPDT decision, particularly Paragraph 64(d) where it directed a direct final nomination ticket to be issued to the complainant out of place and misplaced.The PPDT has no authority or mandate to decide for the party what method it ought to use in the nomination exercise of its various candidates to the political positions. That falls under the jurisdiction of the party itself, guided by its nomination rules and its constitution. It is also outside the Court's mandate to direct the method the party ought to employ in the nomination exercises.
28.I repeat here the holding in Francis Mutuku (Supra) that the law is clear with regard to circumstances such as are now before me, that courts have expressed themselves quite succinctly on this point, that where there are specialized procedures provided by the law or the constitution for the resolution of disputes they should be followed (emphasis provided)
29.For the above reasons, I find that the appeal is merited.a.The PPDT judgment delivered on the 9/5/2022 is set aside in its entirety.b.The dispute is hereby referred back to the Orange Democratic Movement Party and the National Elections Board for them to decide which of the methods stated under its Primary Nomination Rules and Constitution they will employ to resolve the dispute between the Appellant and the 1st Respondent taking into account the strict timelines stated by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
30.The dispute having been brought about by admitted errors by the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Respondents, the said parties shall pay costs of these proceedings to the Appellant.
Orders accordingly.DATED SIGNED AND DELIVERED THIS 3RD DAY OF JUNE 2022.J.N. MULWAJUDGE

Governing Principles
Organizational Structure and Future Vision
InnoWorks aims to serve all students and communities around the world. As the number of chapters continues to grow, it has become clear that establishing an InnoWorks International Headquarters (IH) is essential in continuing the organization on its path of expansion and improvement. The minimum infrastructure we anticipate needing for the IH include the hiring of an International Director, a few full-time and part-time staff members, and office space. The primary goals of the IH are to support chapters in areas such as business and organizational know-how, logistics, and funding, develop and lead organization-wide initiatives such as curriculum development, facilitate effective internal and external communication and knowledge sharing, manage shared resources, and provide a central identity for the organization.
It is important to recognize that the critical roles that InnoWorks chapters currently play will not change; they will still be the ones that directly interface with their students, communities, and host institutions. We will also continue to require chapters to actively fundraise and participate in curriculum development because we believe that these experiences are invaluable for young leaders and entrepreneurs. Within the next few years, we hope to build the IH to the point that it can help support chapters in the key areas we mentioned above, freeing up valuable time for chapters to deliver better services directly to their students and communities.
To this end, we have built upon our successes over the past four years by developing a three to five year vision for InnoWorks in terms of organizational growth and development. The remainder of this summary discusses some of the initiatives we are currently undertaking or plan to undertake in the near future.
We are currently formalizing the process of chapter establishment, renewal, and the types of support the IH will offer chapters. For example, we will develop �ready-to-go� kits to accompany InnoWorks curricula. We plan on establishing a Summer Internship Program for the IH, formalizing a Chapter Exchange Program in which leaders of new chapters would have the opportunity to assist in an established chapter�s program prior to running their own, and creating a valuable Board of Advisors.
Numerous web tools will be designed to facilitate both internal and external communication. For example, we plan to partner with Google� and have already developed several Google� Groups for internal information sharing and collaborative curriculum development. Whereas these online groups are ideal for daily communication, an E-Newsletter published once every two months will highlight the most significant news over longer periods of time. We are exploring the creation of an �InnoNet� website that will serve a purpose for InnoWorks similar to Facebook for the college community. This will provide a way for students to communicate with their peers and mentors outside of formal InnoWorks programs and allows us to assist and track their educational development.
We have developed several strategic initiatives for managing the growth and expansion of InnoWorks while increasing service quality. In addition to the passive method of chapter expansion that has worked well so far, we are building a business plan that includes informational packages for distribution to college campuses around the world as part of a campaign to get the word out about InnoWorks. We plan on forming critical partnerships with complementary organizations and developing additional InnoWorks programs to increase our impact. Examples include extending the InnoWorks model to an Afterschool Program and a High School (HS) Bridge Program. The latter consists of three components: (1) Junior Mentor Program that will bring InnoWorks alumni in HS back to the program as junior mentors to facilitate their development as leaders, (2) College Support Program that will provide information, support, and assistance on college life and the application process, and (3) Scientific Research Initiative that involves pairing of InnoWorks mentors with high school alumni to conduct long-term, open-ended research projects that will culminate in student presentations at InnoWorks Research Symposia.
To help InnoWorks alumni learn about career opportunities in science and engineering, we will host an �InnoWorks Opportunities� program that involves special visits to local science- and engineering-based companies and lab tours with prominent researchers at host institutions.
We have harnessed cutting-edge neuroscience and educational research in our programs, curriculum development methods, and evaluation techniques. We aim to fully utilize these tools to encourage students to explore outside their learning comfort zone and become more adaptable, well-rounded, and confident learners. We are creating an Educational Research Committee (ERC) that will lead the future of our educational research efforts and report our results to the educational community.
The IH will organize an Annual Leadership Summit to inspire chapter leaders, discuss progress over the past year, share lessons learned and problem-solving techniques discovered, coordinate new strategic initiatives, and distribute materials. The ERC will also be responsible for creating interactive multimedia training materials that teach the latest pedagogical methods. These materials will be given to chapter leaders to use during their Chapter Mentor and Staff Training Workshops.
All chapters are expected to actively participate in InnoWorks curriculum development efforts, either through improvement and extension of extant curricula or contribution to new curricula. We want to create a Curriculum Review Committee (CRC) that will include experts from various fields of science and engineering as a formal means of ensuring scientific soundness. To increase curricular flexibility, we envision creating an ever evolving online collection of organization-approved thematic modules, activities, and missions. Chapters pick the curriculum elements they want on their own timeline, add them to a shopping cart, and send off a personalized order to a partnering on-demand printer for their customized books and another to the IH for the �ready-to-go� kits that accompany their curriculum.
InnoWorks By the Numbers: Past and Present
The year 2012 marks the 9th year of InnoWorks. We have successfully conducted more than 30 summer programs for nearly 1,000 students and benefited from the contributions of over 700 volunteers. We currently have more than a dozen chapters: Duke University, University of Maryland College Park, University of Arizona, University of Pennsylvania, University of Maryland Baltimore Campus, University of Michigan, Caltech, UCLA, MIT, Boston University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins and College of the Bahamas (Nassau, Bahamas).
We anticipate having well over 300 students at our 2012programs. We are constantly receiving inquiries from people interested in starting new chapters from as far away as South Africa, and Saudi Arabia. InnoWorks has been invited to send a delegation to Limpopo, South Africa to conduct a summer program for local education leaders, college students and children in public schools. Officials from Effat College came to the US to meet with InnoWorks representatives and discuss the possibility of starting an InnoWorks chapter there.
InnoWorks has won the 2007 Brick! Award, the 2011 MIT Global Challenge, and has been profiled by CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, Duke News & Communication, The Herald Sun, Duke Chronicle, UANews, Duke Dialogue, Maryland Gazette, Arizona Daily Star, DukEngineer Magazine, and was featured on the 2005-2006 Duke Basketball Halftime TV Spot.
InnoWorks is a Winner of the 2007 BRICK Awards

Publisher Synopsis
This well-written book exposes the harsh realities of life in revolutionary New England. - Choice This history ""of the murder of Joshua Spooner in Brookfield, Massachusetts, in March 1778 and the execution of his wife Bathsheba and three accomplices four months later recounts a case as sensational to contemporaries as the O. J. Simpson trial was to us....Bathsheba found herself trapped in a loveless marriage to an abusive husband. Becoming desperate after discovering she was pregnant by a 17-year-old Continental soldier whom she had boarded during his trip home, Mrs. Spooner recruited two British Army deserters to help kill her husband....Navas provides insights into Bathsheba's psychological state and also considers the political, cultural, and gender prejudices that prevented the state from staying her execution until she could give birth. The author also provides the full texts of newspaper accounts, trial records, and other primary sources dealing with the crime. This readable book introduces an infamous local episode to a wider popular readership."" - Virginia Quarterly Review ""Skillfully evokes the heady American late 18th century, a time of revolutionary fervor, desperate militarized violence, and incipient lawlessness....Navas brings an acutely contemporary critical eye to this lost era, revealing nuances of gender roles, piety, patriotism, and class within the actions of both killers and prosecutors."" - Kirkus Reviews ""Navas has produced a little gem - rock hard and glistening. Her story itself has great intrinsic fascination (sex, violence, betrayal, even a kind of 'redemption'). But her telling of the story is best of all: so simple, so direct, so utterly compelling."" - John Demos, author of The Unredeemed Captive Read more...

A woman was pushed to the ground as two men made off with her prescription medication following a robbery in the Long Branch area.
Toronto Police say the incident unfolded at 11 a.m. Tuesday near Forty-First St. and Lake Shore Blvd W., just east of Marie Curtis Park.
The victim, 63, was approached from behind by two men.
They made off with 600 tablets of Oxycodone CR 80 mg; 420 tablets of Oxycocet; 120 tablets of Diazepam 10 mg.
The robbery comes after a purse with painkillers was stolen in the same area last week. These drugs can cause addiction, overdose or death, especially if taken by children, warn police.
Anyone finding the medication is asked not to handle it, and phone police at 416-808-2200 or Crime Stoppers 416-222-8477.

A beast out of the box !
Took a while to get delivered...But as soon as twas in my hands, it was a beast out of the box !
Build: Slim 2.5" form factor with a textured finish, but the plastic used feels a bit cheap on the hands.
Still it gets a thumbs up for its portability which makes it a perfect fit for the pocket.
Storage: You get 931 GBs of usable storage, feels quite enough, huh ?
very delicate and pron to damage and believe me there is no service center and no person who will help you out.
I got a problem within 5 months "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" and there is no one who can even entertain me with my problem.
SAMSUNG..... AS ALWAYS A VERY VERY VERY POOR POST SALES SERVICE.
As per now i found this one has maximum speed .
This is one of the cheapest harddisk I found on flipkart.
Containing inside Seagate ST1000LM025, I guess that's Seagate momentus class of harddisk with 8mb cache and 5400 rpm, it performs quite stable. Coming with USB 3.0, it has decent width of cable which means long cable life.
Average write speed of same file back to HDD was stable at 22 MBPS.
Got it for INR 6074 using Flipkart's SBI Card Offer.
The delivery was done within 3 days from North to South, reaching well before time. The packing was of the usual cardboard box, inside it was wrapped with the air bubble roll. No damages at all anywhere. Samsung's own packing too was very nice.
Coming to the product, it is very small for a 2 TB, pretty slim, and looks solid and compact. The added textures on top (same as seen in picture) also feels good.
worked fine for only 2months, then died. Doesn't even get recognized as a USB device. the samsung provided debug utility executable reports to visit the service center for warranty. Still a pain to claim warranty, website doesnt work properly for online warranty claim, still HDD is with me, dont know how much time i need to spend to get a replacement. i guess hitachi would be lot better than seagate (HDD present in this samsung device).
Delivery was before delivery date and the product is soo good. I purchased SAmsung M3 Portable 500GB External Hard Drive.
1. Nice design. Small but a little thick.
2. Rubber pads provide a sturdy grip on slippery surface.


This is a stage version of a masterpiece written by Oscar Wilde, presented by Theatre Moments actors who talk to the audience more than usual while delivering ethical issues with objective and realistic point of view. The company has performed this piece outside of a theatre such as at primary school.
The company stages Kafka's famous novel, beginning with a scene in which Samsa, the main character, finds himself changed into a cockroach one morning when he wakes up in his bed. Using physical theatre and sudden shifts in the cast, the director depicts a dream like unstable world. He builds an uncertainty, which the original text implies, in the audience's minds by using metaphors of current issues such as nursery care for elderly and withdrawal.
The company interpret the text based on an idea that a common couple kills others after receiving a little prophecy, which can be equivalent to information on TV or magazines in the current world. The piece successfully encompasses a comparison between a theatrical situation in the original text and real issues in the present days; Macbeth being swayed by witches' prophecies and people being misled by too much information in the modern world.
With 60 removable cardboard boxes and 2 ladders, the actors present imaginary cherry trees in bloom and ending of flowers and human lives on the stage. This almost mythical world is created simply by actors' body and their rich expressions. All actors except 2 main roles wear a cardboard box over the head and symbolize anonymity and alienation among the crowd. Daisuke Sagawa's direction implies transience of life that all are going to fade away and return to nothing by inserting lines telling today's incidents.


In 2016 the Citizens Information Board (CIB) Training Team delivered a pilot eLearning programme for Information Providers. This pilot programme, Essential Training for Information Providers (ETIP), provided training on thirteen essential topics to over 100 Information Providers. The programme was developed by the CIB Training Team with the help of an ETIP Advisory Group.
The pilot ETIP programme was delivered in a blended learning format with 18 online lessons, two tutorials and one virtual classroom. The online lessons were developed by members of the Training Team. As all lessons were available online, every learner could access the lessons in their own time, at their place of work or at home. The tutorials provided an opportunity for face-to-face contact with tutors and other learners as well as an opportunity for discussion, skills demonstration and practice, while the the Virtual Classroom provided learners with an opportunity to experience another form of eLearning. All those who successfully completed the programme were awarded Certificates of Completion. An awards ceremony was held at the European Public Space, Europe House, Mount Street, Dublin 2 on November 29th. The certificates were presented by Dara Woods, Acting Training Manager, CIB.
Speakers at the awards ceremony included: Sarah Drea, Development Manager and ETIP Advisory Group Representative, Aiden Garland, Learner Representative, Niall Sexton, Development Manager and Learning Support Person, with the final address given by Dara Woods.

A trial date has been set for Ray Tensing, the former University of Cincinnati police officer who shot Samuel DuBose during a traffic stop in July.
A Hamilton County Common Pleas Court judge scheduled the trial date for Nov. 16. Tensing, 25, is facing time in prison under charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter for shooting DuBose, 43, in the head after pulling him over for a missing front license plate.
Tensing wasn't in court to hear the order, according to CBS News, but his attorney was present and says he plans to have the case moved to another county. The former officer previously pleaded not guilty to the charges and filed a grievance against the university for terminating him without warning or a pre-disciplinary conference.
The same day, the University of Cincinnati Police Department resumed activity on campus in time for fall semester. Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said the timing might be open to criticism, but with 44,000 students returning for classes, he wants to provide a safe and patrolled environment.
Stay tuned for more information about Tensing's trial as it becomes available.
