Plans to Strengthen Uluwatu Temple Delayed

Plans to reinforce the 90-meter-high limestone cliffs supporting Bali's iconic Pura Luhur Uluwatu have been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Among Bali's most sacred religious sites, the Pura Luhur Uluwatu sea temple dates from at least the 11th Century. It acquired the honorific of "Luhur" based on the belief that the East Javanese sage and holy man, Dang Hyang Niratha, found eternal release or Moksha at this location. The stone outcrop is also believed to contain the ship of the Goddess Dewi Danu.
Large fissures appearing in the promontory prompted the Public Works Department of the Badung Regency to undertake plans to reinforce the natural structure and ensure that an earthquake or other natural disaster does not send the cliff-face and the temple falling into the Indian Ocean.
Detailed planning had been completed, and the reinforcement work put out to bid when the COVID-19 pandemic put an end to the project, at least in the near-term. I Gusti Agung Sriasih of the Public Works Department, quoted by Nusa Bali, said on Tuesday, 21 July 2020: "Indeed, the plans to strengthen and reinforce the cliff face the Pura Luhur Uluwatu has been postponed. The money budgeted for the project was cut because of COVID-19."
Sriasih lamented that other projects, including the creation of public parks, have fallen victim to defunding because of the Regency's burden of dealing with COVID-19.

Sriasih refused to say when the reinforcement of the cliff supporting one of Bali's most iconic religious sites would resume. He said his office would continue to request a budget allocation for the work until government funds become available.
The postponement of the repairs and reinforcement came after the project had been put out to bid and a winning bid selected.
While the details of the winning bid were not announced, it is known that the Badung Regency had budgeted around Rp. 29.5 billion for the project and appointed an expert management team to supervise the actual work. Consultants, who formulated the terms of the bid determined that metal netting, sling cables, and regular cable would be needed to fortify the cliff face. Holes would also be bored into the facing for the placement of retaining anchors and injecting or strengthening cement.

One year ago, I decided to become an Au Pair in New Zealand. This decision turned out to be one of my best decisions I've made in my life so far.
Of course, I had fears and I worried about what my new life on the other side of the world was going to be like, but all those thoughts never stopped me from signing the contract and booking my flight once I matched with my host family.
Here's why au pairing in New Zealand was one of the best decisions of my life.
Of course, I had fears and I worried about how my new life on the other side of the world was going to be like, but all those thoughts never stopped me from signing the contract and booking my flight once I matched with my host family.
My host parents were the coolest.
As soon as I arrived in New Zealand I became a part of my host family's life and they made me feel like a member of the family. My host parents, Cath and Michael, were always super lovely and helped me whenever they could. I've literally never met such nice, patient, cool, friendly, successful, and down-to-earth parents before. I can't thank them enough for everything they've done for me.
The Kiwi Christmas surpassed all others.
I will never forget my first Kiwi Christmas, which my host family made one of the best Christmases in my entire life. We had so much fun spending the summer camping at Waihi Beach, going surfing, and just hanging out by the ocean.
This November baby had a summer b-day bash!
One of my personal highlights was celebrating my November birthday in summer. I totally loved that! Here in New Zealand, November is more a spring/summer month. I spent my birthday outside, sitting in the garden and barbequing with all my friends. I wish I could celebrate my birthday like that every year.
I was too busy to be homesick.
As I write this, I've completed nine months of my one-year program. No day, so far, have I really thought about missing home.
The good thing about being an au pair abroad is that you're never alone and you're always busy.
First, I thought that four boys to look after would be quite a challenge—and I'm not going to lie—it sometimes can be, but I'm totally happy with this challenge.
Looking after so many boys is never boring and I've learned so much from them. Even though they're brothers, each of them is different. Their interests span from football to ballet and seeing how each one improves his sport and develops makes me happy.
I learned SO MUCH as an au pair abroad.
Being an au pair is not always easy, but at the end of the day I've always learned something new. You learn so much about life, especially life with children, but you learn the most about yourself.
You learn how to look after yourself, how to manage a lot of things, and how to decide what's important in your life. You learn to make decisions and you learn how important family and friends are in life.
Most importantly, you learn to be responsible for others.
Even if you fail sometimes, the mistakes you make are part of growing up.
I got to travel throughout this stunning country.
On top of being an au pair and spending a lot of time with my host family, I also traveled a lot around the country. People call New Zealand the most beautiful country in the world and all I can say is, yes it is!
New Zealand is totally stunning. Nature has never left me speechless before but this country overwhelmed me. My favorite places are Cape Reinga, Queenstown and Mount Cook.
If you want to read a bit more about those places visit my Instagram page @juleselisabeth_. I've taken a lot of pictures during my time, shared some experiences about traveling, and have recommendations for cafes and restaurants. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek into my everyday life as an au pair for four boys!
Guest blogger Julia served as an Au Pair in New Zealand.

I'm pleased to introduce Cory Daumont as our newest shareholder. Cory is the owner of Vic's Concrete, and played last year as a 2 Year Trial member. He decided the Red Deer Golf and Country Club is where he wants to play and belong long term. Welcome!!!
With a good forecast, open range, and available and eager staff we have decided to try an early launch. Please note that the Clubhouse will open for the season on Wednesday April 08. Our hours of operation will be 11 am – 7 pm and extend when the golf course opens and as daylight permits.
…and while speaking of the golf course it looks terrific!! Head Superintendent Heath Koch, Assistant Brigitt McKeen and their crew are working hard to get us on as early as possible.


To help celebrate Science Week, we spoke to some amazing Indigenous scientists about their work and what inspired them to pursue a career in science.
Dr Chris Matthews speaking at a STEM camp in Dubbo, NSW.
Dr Chris Matthews is from the Quandamooka people of Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island) in Queensland Australia. Chris has received a PhD in applied mathematics from Griffith University and is a Senior Lecturer at the Griffith School of Environment, Griffith University. Chris has undertaken numerous research projects within applied mathematics and mathematics education.
Chris was the patron and expert advisor for the Make It Count Project; a large mathematics education project coordinating education research within clusters of schools across Australia with the specific aim of improving mathematics education for Indigenous students. Currently, Chris is the chair of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance (ATSIMA) which aims to improve educational outcomes in mathematics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners.
Dr Cass Hunter is a researcher with the Coastal Development and Management program at the CSIRO. Her work involves engaging with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and asking them to help identify the coastal management issues that are the most important and relevant to them such as pollution and climate change. She then creates programs that make maps and predictions about the impact of these issues on coastal communities and the natural environment.
"A lot of research has been done and digital technology allows more people to access it," she told NITV.
Dr Hunter is Kaku Yalanji and Torres Strait Islander woman with connections to Far North Queensland and she is keen to make science more inclusive and accessible to all people. She is particularly focused on increasing the amount of Indigenous-led research that builds capacity for both Indigenous communities and science.
Mibu Fischer is a marine scientist working with CSIRO works in the management of fisheries. She started working at CSIRO in 2009 as an Indigenous Cadet and now is researching sustainable fishing practices to ensure that Australia's ecosystems will continue on for future generations. A marine ecologist, Mibu's focus is on tropical fish and their ecological systems and she has helped to develop and interactive map so that fishers can see how the population of a species has been affected over time.
She also seeks to connect her work with the knowledge of traditional owners and draw on her own experience growing up on North Stradbroke Island as a Quandamooka, Noonuccal, Ngungi and Goorenpul woman.
Associate Professor Rowena Ball obtained her PhD from Macquarie University, and currently holds a joint appointment in the Mathematical Sciences Institute and the Research School of Chemistry at the Australian National University. From 2010 to 2016 she held an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship.
She is an applied mathematician and physical chemist with broad research interests and achievements in nonlinear and complex dynamical systems, the origins of life, thermochemical instabilities, pH oscillators, decarbonation of fuels and flue gases, and thermodynamic analysis and optimization of processes.
She is passionate about documenting and celebrating Indigenous scientific and engineering heritage and knowledge, and engaging Indigenous school students with science and maths. She is partnered with two remote Indigenous schools under the CSIRO Mathematicians and Scientists in Schools program, and she enjoys doing fun science activities with Aboriginal schoolkids at science and maths camps around the country.
"I have a vision for a future where some precious Indigenous knowledges will join and enrich - and be enriched by - the universal pool of scientific knowledge, creating a broader dimension to the nature of science," says Rowena.
Indigenous scientist Jen Campbell is working in the field of human genetics to find the links between Aboriginal nations and language groups.
Scientist Jen Campbell is working in the field of genetics and say that she is passionate about community engagement, helping people understand difficult concepts and getting more people in to the scientific field. "Science is beautiful, interesting and a way of understanding the world we live in." she says.
WIth a diverse career, spanning across a range of disciplines from environmental engineering to forestry and now biology, Jen has worked on some interesting projects. "I started as an environmental engineering working with forestry looking at quarry rehabilitation. As a young engineer I also worked on a research project looking at how broken beer bottles could be used as a more sustainable filter for water treatment. After that I moved into more biological research, working with a team that looked at using saliva biomarkers for diagnosing cancer and heart disease."
She is currently working in the field of human genetics, looking at genetic differences and similarities between Aboriginal nations and language groups.
"We have very limited data about Aboriginal genomes and understanding these differences will help understand population history and be essential for providing better health care for communities."
Jen says that this area of research needs more Aboriginal involvement. " I'm also very interested in how Aboriginal communities can be better informed about genetic research, but also participate as scientists in the process and the interpretation of data. We need more Aboriginal people working in this area to help tell the stories hidden in our genes."
With thousands of years of development, Jen says that science is something that more people should be looking at. "Science is a great way to learn multidisciplinary skills that can be adapted, this has allowed me to explore different fields of science. I think that the curiosity and passion that comes with scientific enquiry can lead to a very exciting and forever changing career."
Researcher Mitch Gibbs is taking a look at the impact of climate change and carbon dioxide on the life cycle of oysters. After studying a degree in Forensic Science and Chemistry at the University of Western Sydney he has started a PhD at the University of Sydney.
For him the appeal is the broad scope of his research, from studying "the way the environment is changing down to the way oysters use certain types of energy and how likely it is that the next generation of oysters will be affected by the rising temperatures and carbon dioxide levels."
A Thunghutti man, hailing from the little town of Willawarrin just outside Kempsey, Mitch feels "that as an indigenous person I have a connection to the land and sea as many do and I feel, if I can further understand specifically what is happening then hopefully I can maybe change this for the better."
Mitch thinks it is important for Indigenous students to look at a career in science in order to continue the long tradition of caring for and understanding the natural world. "We always hear of the European scholars who proved something or found something out but indigenous people have not been recognised for the achievements they have done over thousands of years. From aspects of conservation to astronomical studies, I think this is the time where indigenous science and indigenous people in that science can really shine."


As mentioned of late, the 10 and/or 13 day moving averages have been the primary supports since the run up from late August 2010. Once again today we see this as the S&P 500 has been sitting on or near the 13 day moving average (1344ish) much of the day. If the normal pattern continues, this is more or less the bottom of the move down. If there is a change in pattern, we'll see these levels broken and then a move further downward. That would be a key turning point because it would be the first time this has happened since August 2010 that did not have to do with a geopolitical event (i.e. Ireland - November 2010, Japan - March 2011).
There is a yawning gap asking to be filled in the mid 1310s from about three weeks ago, but we'll know if it's too soon for that to happen in a few days.


A member of the Shouters' movement from Henan Province who had been in exile for more than 20 years was captured by the Chinese authorities and later received a lengthy prison sentence.
According to sources, in 1991, He Jie was arrested by the National Security Brigade of Yongcheng while attending a religious gathering and was sent to a "reform through labor" camp, where he was forced to carry rocks for four months. In 1994, He Jie was arrested again for believing in God and was sentenced to one and a half years. After He Jie was released from prison, the police frequently harassed, intimidated, and closely monitored him. To escape the CCP's persecution, He Jie and his family fled home.
The Shouters, named for their practice of calling the name of the Lord out loud, is a label used by the Chinese regime to designate a large variety of communities, including both the Christian religious movement known in the West as the Local Church and groups that are not part of it. During the Cultural Revolution, the Chinese Communist Party branded the movement as a "counterrevolutionary organization" and later listed it on a national register of xie jiao organizations, misleadingly translated as "cults." Under Article 300 of the Chinese Criminal Code, being associated with such organizations automatically leads to arrest, detention or imprisonment.

Study Suggests Parkinson's Disease May Start in The Gut
by Patrícia Silva, PhD | June 24, 2015
Researchers at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark recently reported new evidence that Parkinson's disease development may actually start in the gut. The study entitled "Vagotomy and subsequent risk of Parkinson's disease" was published in the journal Annals of Neurology.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that develops gradually, with patients usually experiencing the first symptoms around the age of 60 or older. As the disease progresses, the symptoms worsen from a barely noticeable tremor in the hands to serious difficulties in speaking, locomotion, coordination and balance. The disease is caused by the premature death of dopaminergic neurons. There is currently no cure for Parkinson's, and it is estimated that one in every 1,000 individuals worldwide suffer from the disease.
It has been previously suggested that Parkinson's disease is linked to the vagus nerve, one of the 12 cranial nerves that extends from the brainstem to the abdomen passing multiple organs including the heart, esophagus and lungs. The vagus nerve controls unconscious body procedures like a constant heart rate and food digestion.
In this study, researchers conducted the first and largest epidemiological analysis assessing the possible relationship between the vagus nerve and Parkinson's disease development in humans.
The team analyzed patients in Denmark who were submitted during 1977 to 1995 to vagotomy, a surgical procedure to remove part or resect the vagus nerve. "We have conducted a registry study of almost 15,000 patients who have had the vagus nerve in their stomach severed. Between approximately 1970-1995 this procedure was a very common method of ulcer treatment. If it really is correct that Parkinson's starts in the gut and spreads through the vagus nerve, then these vagotomy patients should naturally be protected against developing Parkinson's disease," explained the study's lead author Dr. Elisabeth Svensson in a news release.
The researchers found that their hypothesis was correct. Patients who underwent truncal vagotomy (denervation of the pylorus, liver, pancreas, and small and large bowel) had a decreased risk of developing Parkinson's disease in comparison to the normal general population and patients who were submitted to super-selective vagotomy (denervation of branches supplying only the lower esophagus and stomach). The risk for Parkinson's disease was similar between the general population and patients who underwent super-selective vagotomy. These results strongly support the idea that Parkinson's disease begins in the gastrointestinal tract and spreads to the brain through the vagus nerve.
"Our study shows that patients who have had the entire vagus nerve severed were protected against Parkinson's disease. Their risk was halved after 20 years. However, patients who had only had a small part of the vagus nerve severed where not protected. This also fits the hypothesis that the disease process is strongly dependent on a fully or partially intact vagus nerve to be able to reach and affect the brain," noted Dr. Svensson.
The team concluded that full truncal vagotomy is associated with a decreased risk for subsequent Parkinson's disease, suggesting that the vagal nerve plays a crucial role in disease pathogenesis. Researchers hypothesize that Parkinson's may be caused by an enteric neurotropic pathogen that enters the brain through the vagal nerve.
Interestingly, many Parkinson's patients suffered from gastrointestinal manifestations before the disease was diagnosed. "Patients with Parkinson's disease are often constipated many years before they receive the diagnosis, which may be an early marker of the link between neurologic and gastroenterologic pathology related to the vagus nerve" said Dr. Svensson.
The team hopes to identify risk factors for Parkinson's disease that can help its prevention. "Now that we have found an association between the vagus nerve and the development of Parkinson's disease, it is important to carry out research into the factors that may trigger this neurological degeneration, so that we can prevent the development of the disease. To be able to do this will naturally be a major breakthrough," concluded Dr. Svensson.
Patrícia Silva, PhD Patrícia holds a PhD in medical microbiology and infectious diseases from the Leiden University Medical Center, Netherlands, and completed a postdoctoral research fellowship at the Instituto de Medicina Molecular, Lisbon, Portugal. Her work in academia was mainly focused on molecular biology and the genetic traits of infectious agents such as viruses and parasites. Patrícia earned several travel awards to present her work at international scientific meetings. She is a published author of several peer-reviewed science articles.

Wolves suffer first BBL defeat
Aaron Wise 28th Sep, 2016 Updated: 19th Oct, 2016
WORCESTER Wolves suffered their first defeat of the new British Basketball League (BBL) campaign at the hands of Leicester Riders 77-66 on Sunday at the Leicester Community Arena.
After falling behind early on, Wolves turned up their intensity to take a double-figure second quarter lead and kept their noses in front for a further 15 minutes, before a strong Leicester outfit eventually regained control and the victory.
Head coach Paul James said: "The final score doesn't reflect how close the game was. We played hard and were still in the contest until the last few minutes.
"Leicester are a lot of people's favourites for the title so this was a good test for us and we showed we're more than competitive.
"We're not happy losing, regardless of who might be the favourites. We'll train hard this week and put things right."
Wolves trailed 10-3 after three minutes with only Danny Huffor providing the points for the Worcester side and just two minutes later that deficit had increased to 17-9.
Entering the second quarter, the visitors were still trailing 23-16, but consecutive three-pointers from Huffor and Trevor Setty, as well as a two-pointer from Setty, closed the gap to 30-27.
A Leicester timeout did little to help their cause as Huffor went onto snatch the ball from the hands of guard Connor Washington and swept forward for his first of four rapid-fire baskets before the interval, helping to give his side a 42-32 lead.
Riders replied immediately in the third quarter scoring ten points in the first minute to level the scores, but Wolves held a slight 58-55 edge entering the final quarter.
The visitors lost their aggressive demeanour though, as Marek Klassen, Setty and American centre Deondre McWhorter, making his debut, found themselves just a single foul call away from disqualification.
With just three minutes remaining Worcester still clung to their hosts' slender one point lead at 67-66, but consecutive scores for Riders forward Pierre Hampton opened a ten point surge and secured the win for Leicester.
Kennedy and Huffor led Wolves' scoring with 18 points apiece, while Klassen supplied ten assists.
The loss comes off the back of an 88-85 victory against Cheshire Phoenix last Friday at the University of Worcester Arena.
Kennedy and Andrew Bachman led the scoring with 23 and 20 points respectively, followed by Setty with 17.
Wolves welcome Sheffield Sharks to the University of Worcester Arena this Friday (tip-off 7.30).

When I was told by my previous solicitors that they could not represent me, I was sent to Asylum Justice. I was scared and the preparation was very difficult. But with the help of Ruth and Hussein, I understood what this moment could mean for my life.

Black Friday, you either love it or hate it. If you're like me, you love the fact that in the age of technology you never have to leave your home to get all those bargain deals.
I've taken to combating the Black Friday fever by sitting on my couch or in my home office and clicking away.
Why battle crowds and long checkout lines when you can sit in a comfortable chair and select just the right gift for every member of your family?
All those concerns about extra shipping costs? Forget them. Most retailers will offer you free shipping.

ABSOLUTELY FABRICANT
Who is Michael Fabricant? Tory MP for Lichfield who appeared on Celebrity First Dates
The outspoken, flamboyantly coiffured veteran is one of Parliament's most recognisable and colourful figures
AS OUTSPOKEN as he is flamboyantly coiffured, Michael Fabricant is one of the most colourful and recognisable MPs in Parliament.
Last year the veteran Tory branched out into the world of reality TV and went looking for love with an appearance on Celebrity First Dates – here's what you need to know about him.

Who is Michael Fabricant?
Michael Fabricant is a Tory MP who has represented the picturesque Staffordshire city of Lichfield since 1997.
He was born in Brighton on June 12 1950, and studied economics at Loughborough University before pursuing post-graduate studies at the Universities of Sussex, Oxford and London.
After standing unsuccessfully for the Labour stronghold of South Shields in 1987, Fabricant became an MP for Mid Staffordshire in 1992.
The seat was abolished for the 1997 General Election, but he claimed the constituency of Lichfield by the slenderest of margins, a mere 238 majority.
Fabricant has extended his majority in each election since, with the margin in 2017 an incredibly healthy 18,581.
The 67-year-old cuts a distinctive figure in the House of Commons with his trademark flowing blonde mane, which rivals claim is a wig – something he denies, although he admits to some "enhancement".
During his parliamentary career, Fabricant has established himself as a staunch Brexiteer, who called for pact between his party and Ukip in 2012 to force an In/Out referendum.
He has also courted some controversy, often caused by his outspoken views and eccentric, candid approach to social media.
In 2012, he was sacked from his role as Tory Vice-Chairman after tweeting "about time" following the resignation of his party colleague Maria Miller as Culture Minister.
However, Fabricant told The Independent he believed that his departure was also sparked by him making a bizarre joke about bestiality with llamas on Twitter.
The MP is unmarried, and revealed in an interview with the Daily Mail that he has had relationships with both men and women.
"I'm not exclusively gay [though] I have certainly done things with a bloke," he told the paper.

What TV shows has Michael Fabricant been on?
Fabricant's involvement with Celebrity First Dates (where he dates a woman), was revealed by The Sun's Bizarre column.
His appearance was then confirmed in hilarious style by Theresa May during PMQs, the Prime Minister joking that she wasn't sure if he was the celebrity or the date.

He later revealed that the £25,000 appearance fee for the show – which is part of Channel 4's Stand Up To Cancer series – would be going to Cancer Research.
Fabricant has first-hand experience of the disease, having been treated for both prostate cancer and skin cancer in recent years.
Ahead of the show, the Lichfield MP excitedly re-tweeted a trailer that showed him, in his own words, "making a tit" of himself.
9pm Thursday (2nd Nov) Channel 4, I'm on @FirstDates making a tit of myself.
Watch the trailer!https://t.co/cQu6lJNMvq

However, it's by no means Fabricant's first foray onto telly screens beyond the day job.
In a memorable 2013 appearance on the satirical BBC show Have I Got News For You, he sparked mixed responses from fans and the panel, with Paul Merton at one point moved to ask if he was a real person.

What did Michael Fabricant say about the Westminster sex scandal?
In November 2017, Mr Fabricant penned an article in the Guardian in the wake of allegations being made of sexual impropriety and assault against a number of MPs.
He called for an independent body to investigate claims of sexual harassment or assault to avoid the risk of what he called: "vexatious allegations carelessly bandied around on social media by third parties for personal or party political gain".
He wrote: "This is why we need an external body to be established to investigate and deal with allegations that while not unlawful, are nonetheless unseemly or improper in an employer-employee environment.
"Due process has to be at the heart of the new framework, and everyone must have confidence in the system."

France: Investment aid to regional airports
Inception date: 04 Apr 2015 | Removal date: 01 Apr 2024
Financial grant
On 8 April 2015, the European Commission granted investment aid to French regional airports worth 225 million EUR (valued in 2014 price level) over 9 years.
The airports shall be eligible for aid if their annual passenger traffic did not surpass 3 million in the last 2 years. The scheme shall also not be available for passenger airports with a joint cargo airport of at least 200'000 tons a year; where the construction of a new passenger airport is planned; or where there is a neighbouring airport situated less than 100km or a 1 hour drive away.
Furthermore, the aid programme will have an aid intensity cap of 75% if it has less than 1 million passenger annually and a cap of 50% in the case of 1-3 million passengers. This limit may be raised by 20% in "remote areas" (art. 10, letter from the EC to France, 08.04.2015).
According to the French authorities, there were 77 airports in 2012 serving between 1'000 and 3 million passenger annually.
According to the Commission,"the airports are in competition for the management of airport infrastructure, including in local and regional airports. Public financing of an airport may therefore distort competition in the market operation of airport infrastructure. The Commission also notes that the financial support to French airports is likely to affect the airline industry in Europe's economy, since the aid will change the strategic choices of airlines to serve or not to serve certain airport platforms located in other Member-States. Finally, the Commission notes that the aid to airports is likely to modify the relative market share of air transport over other transport substitutes (for example roads or railways), and thus affects transport operators likely to offer competing services in the single market. Consequently, public financing of airports offering services from these airports is likely to affect trade between Member States" (art. 28, letter from the EC to France, 08.04.2015; own translation). However, the EC deemed the state aid to be compatible with the single market.
The aid programme started on 4 April 2015 and will last until 3 April 2024.
The GTA includes state guarantees and other financial incentives that are likely to affect the restructuring and performance of firms facing international competition, whether from imports, in export markets, and from foreign subsidiaries.

Q: How do I make vscode c++ intellisense work with remote development? When running vscode locally on windows I can install the C/C++ extension and immediately have some code understanding from the editor (visual studio 2019 is installed too):

However after installing OpenSSH and connecting to the same PC via the vscode Remote Development extension (connecting from linux to Windows) this doesn't work:

Everything I hover over says: Unsupported Markup content received. Kind is:
Also typing msg.<ctrl+space> gives No suggestions.
The only references I can find are:

These don't seem related. I have not set up a c_cpp_properties.json but then I didn't need to for the local test that worked. The error makes me think there is some conflicting extension, but I've uninstalled most others and the issue persists. What have I missed?

Apple Says One Billion iPhones Have Been Sold
Apple announced Wednesday the sale of its billionth iPhone, a milestone for the company as it seeks to keep momentum in a competitive smartphone market.
Chief executive Tim Cook made the announcement at a staff meeting at the company's California headquarters.
"iPhone has become one of the most important, world-changing and successful products in history," he said in a statement.
"It's become more than a constant companion. iPhone is truly an essential part of our daily life and enables much of what we do throughout the day. Last week we passed another major milestone when we sold the billionth iPhone. We never set out to make the most, but we've always set out to make the best products that make a difference."
The news comes a day after Apple reported a drop in iPhone sales over the past quarter, a second straight drop after uninterrupted growth since its introduction in 2007.
Apple sold 40.4 million iPhones in the quarter ending June 25, down 15 percent from a year earlier, highlighting concerns over growth for the iconic smartphone.
The quarterly results underscored the challenges for Apple, which has built a huge business around the iPhone but is unlikely to see continued growth, due to a saturated smartphone market and increased competition.
Apple has been seeking to diversify its product line and move into services for a more stable revenue base, while keeping users in its ecosystem with offerings such as music, connected cars and its Apple Watch.

Renovations for Readiness
For eight years and counting, Freese and Nichols has been helping the Texas Army National Guard upgrade aging facilities across the state.
In an effort that combines utility audits, condition assessments and asset management, design, and construction services, our engineers and architects have overseen renovations to more than two dozen buildings at 20 sites.
The exterior and interior upgrades have enhanced the aesthetics, functionality and security of the facilities; corrected structural deficiencies; and reprogrammed existing spaces to better align with the Guard's needs.
Energy efficiency upgrades —including solar window film, rainwater harvesting systems, variable refrigerant flow and geothermal-based HVAC systems, and centralized building automation systems with smart data analytics — have reduced electric, water and gas consumption.
Our team also helped secure more than $380,000 from the State Energy Conservation Office to fund some of the energy retrofit projects.

Former governors, ex-ministers, top military officers and businessmen are among owners of the properties seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The highlights of the forfeiture were contained in a document obtained by The Nation.
The document indicates that the EFCC is empowered by the law to place all suspicious assets under interim assets forfeiture – in line with sections 28 and 34 of the EFCC establishment act and section 13(1) of the federal high court act, 2004.
Diezani Alison-Madueke, former minister of petroleum, lost a multi-storey building in Banana Island Foreshore estate in Ikoyi, a real estate comprising six flats in Ikoyi and an estate of 21 mixed housing in Yaba, Lagos, among others.
Two properties owned by Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser, in Kaduna and Abuja were also forfeited to the federal government.
Also, Haruna Momoh, a former managing director of PPMC, a subsidiary of Nigerian National Pertroleum Corporation(NNPC), reportedly lost two mansions in Maitama district, Abuja to the temporary forfeiture order.
The anti-graft agency also secured the final seizure of Flat 7B at Osborne Towers in Ikoyi where $43.45 million cash was recovered.
Other owners of the seized properties include Ibrahim Shema, ex-governor of Katsina stae, (20); Ayodele Fayose, ex-governor of Ekiti state (three); Babangida Aliyu, ex-governor of Niger state, (two); Bello Mohammed former national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (one); Iyorchia Ayu, former senator (one); Isa Yuguda, former governor of Bauchi state, (one) and Abba Moro, ex-minister of interior (one) and Micheal Obasuyi, ex-managing director of Platinum Multi-purpose Cooperative Society Limited, who bought 134 buses, 20 houses with N11.4 billion slush cash.

Magu said the forfeited assets have been handed over to the federal government for use by ministries, departments and agencies.
"Hundreds of properties such as filling stations, petroleum products, land, jewellery, automobiles, real estate, vessels, hospitals, company shares and heavy machinery and broadcast equipment, have been seized from corrupt elements between 2015 and 2018," he said.

Apostle Benson Enakhena, senior pastor of El-shaddai salvation family ministries lit a torch with the question: are you a crazy giver? He asked the congregation and kept the torch burning by enjoining his members to ask their neighbors: are you a crazy giver? Can you give your life for my sake? After watching them ask chorally, Enakhena torched down the euphoric mood of Palm Sunday with insights on the foundation of greatness. In his message, the pursuit of truth preacher, revealed the bitter truth about 'Giving'…citing that it wasn't his intent to preach this but God instructed him to, because "He came to give them His life but the little things they have, they cannot share with themselves".

Most assuredly certain to give one the peak of thrills, the movie showed how each character could handle their emotional breakdown from relationships with clearly unfit partners.
As a perfect example of friendship is made from the heart, Lillian Esoro as Elizabeth and Tana Adelana as Remi both made money their priorities in relationships which has made them Lose each relationship. Timi on the other hand was dating an older woman Belinda just because he wanted to make ends meet as he was broke to the extent that he could not put a roof over his head all by himself.

Managing the Switch to Low Sulphur Fuels
by Sulphur2020 | Aug 31, 2018 | Compliance, Fuel, Ships, Sulphur 2020
There is less than 18 months to go until the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) global 0.5 per cent sulphur cap comes into force. From the 1st of January 2020, the marine landscape will dramatically change and many questions still remain unanswered. Vessel operators will need to take extra care in the face of this uncertainty as there are a number of issues that will likely require managing when the revised sulphur cap arrives.
Amongst these issues comes the increased likelihood of compatibility problems, along with the chance of heightened levels of cat fines.
Unless operators opt to install abatement technology known as scrubbers, and continue to burn heavy fuel oil (HFO), it will be therefore essential for the marine industry to prepare for the switch to compliant options and develop a set of actions that will minimise the risks associated with the move to new low-sulphur fuels:
Establish Best Practice
Test for Cat Fines
Check for Compatibilty
Monitor for sludge
Choose a Reliable Fuels Partner
Odfjell: Scrubbers Don't Make Sense for IMO 2020
by Sulphur2020 | Aug 30, 2018 | Compliance, Fuel, Scrubbers, Ships, Sulphur 2020
While there are certain scenarios that would make scrubber's an attractive solution for IMO 2020 compliance, Odfjell SE CEO, Kristian Mørch, believes that overall the technology does not make sense.
Speaking in a Q&A session during the firm's latest Q2 earnings webcast, Mørch's views closely mirrored those of Maersk, in that he favoured a land-based solution but his company may still invest in the technology to help understand it.
"It's something we've spent a lot of time analysing and trying to understand. I think fundamentally we have difficulty in seeing why an industry with 60,000 ships should try and solve a problem that actually should be solved ashore," said Mørch.
"The people that supply in the bunker market will have to adapt whatever regulations goes on in that market."
How ship operators can organise the switch to low-sulphur fuel
John LaRese, marine fuels technical advisor at ExxonMobil, explains why vessel operators must plan well ahead to ensure they comply with the IMO's 0.5% sulphur cap by the 2020 deadline
The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) decision to implement a 0.5% cap on sulphur emissions has created uncertainty among passenger ship and other vessel operators. Questions are already being asked about how to comply with the changing emissions target, as well as what types of fuels will be available and where. However, ensuring compliance isn't just about fuel selection; the actual switchover process from heavy fuel oil (HFO) to new, low-sulphur alternatives needs careful management. There are also implications for the selection of lubricants.
Vessel operators will need to take a series of important steps before bunkering a low-sulphur fuel; they will have to work out arrangements that meet the specific requirements of their vessels. Without careful preparation operators may jeopardise their sulphur compliance, which carries the risk of costly fines. They must also plan around fuel availability, given the possibility that some ports may be unable to meet the demand from the industry.
Unless a vessel is fitted with an exhaust gas cleaning system (scrubber), operators will need to ensure that their fuel tanks do not contain high-sulphur HFO by the IMO deadline. Fuel tanks will probably retain sediment from the existing HFO, which is likely to contain those higher levels of sulphur. If this is not removed, there is the risk that the compliant fuel will be contaminated, pushing its sulphur content above the 0.5% limit.
Covering lubricant options for a post-2020 world
A great deal of coverage has been given to the availability or otherwise of different fuel types after 2020. Much less thought seems to have been given to how the lubrication of marine engines will be affected and what practical steps need to be taken by shipowners and operators. Shell Marine's post-2020 cylinder oil expectations are based on a defined position on marine fuel use after the IMO's cap on sulphur content comes into play.
The choice of cylinder oil is typically determined by three factors: the marine engine itself; the fuel being used; and the vessel's operating conditions. Given this, the limitation of sulphur content to 0.5% in marine fuel from 2020 by the International Maritime Organization will have a significant impact on cylinder oil selection.
Shipowners should by now be some way to determining what their reaction to the new situation will be, although many seem to be still in the process of defining a plan or are waiting for the situation to crystalise. Shell Marine's expectation is that 90% or more of the shipping fleet will switch to fuels with a sulphur level of <0.5% in the run up to January 2020. This will be a mixture of very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and distillate fuels.
We believe that fewer than 2,000 ships will be fitted with scrubbers to continue running on HSFO by that date and that, with a high-end estimate of 200 ships running on LNG, combined no more than 10% of ships will be accounted for by HSHFO, LNG or any other alternative. Our expectation is that up to 3 million b/d of HSFO demand will be displaced by <0.5% sulphur content fuels.
INSIGHT: Organising the Switch to Low Sulphur Fuel
by Sulphur2020 | Aug 24, 2018 | Environment, Fuel, Sulphur 2020
The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) decision to implement a 0.50 per cent cap on sulphur emissions has created uncertainty amongst vessel operators. Questions are already being asked about how to comply with the changing emissions target, what types of fuels will be available and where. However, ensuring compliance isn't just about fuel selection; the actual switchover process from heavy fuel oil (HFO) to new, low-sulphur alternatives needs careful management. There are also implications for the selection of lubricants.

"New India" is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's copyright
Book excerpt: India: The Wrong Transition, a collection of essays on the Modi years
By Anand K. Sahay

Narendra Modi at a BJP meeting in Kawakhali, Siliguri Picture by Biswarup Basak
New India" is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's copyright. It wasn't in the BJP manifesto in 2014. It is a powerful rubric with which to attract youth power, and harness it.
And yet, when nearly four years of the five are done, the best that Mr Modi's BJP can do to bring the young Indian on board is to cook up the idiotic notion of "pakora" growth, and pakora politics, when unemployment is rampant among all classes.
This little savoury on the snack menu can't surely be the lead symbol of the Asian century in which India thinks it has a part to play. Vending pakoras can hardly be said to be the real meaning of India in the new era.
But, surprisingly, Modi believes it does. When questions on rising joblessness were being flung at him, he was far from defensive. His instinctive — and instant and heartless — reply was that making pakoras was also work.
It is hard not to be reminded of the vicious mocking tone of Marie Antoinette — the French queen sent to the guillotine by the revolutionaries, and known for her taste for fancy clothes — when she said if Frenchmen could not eat bread, let them eat cakes.
The Modi government's achievement on the front of meaningful employment for the young people is less than shallow. The PM in all honesty can't point to employment or self-employment gains flowing from the much-hyped official programmes such as Skill India, Stand Up India, or the BHIM app spinning out processes that lead to gainful work for the youth in keeping with the aspirations of our times, which Mr Modi's rhetorical highs helped fuel.
The employment data is woeful. This should cause no surprise, windbag speeches aside. When private investment figures for the economy signal long-time lows, even a "service-sector" avenue like selling hot pakoras cannot have seen a massive expansion. Besides, there is not much value addition involved in such a line of work, and the earnings are pitiable — hardly an advertisement for the shining glory promised in craftily designed government ads and slogans.
BJP president Amit Shah is the perfect acolyte and follows very closely in his master's footstep. Thus, hardly had Modi uttered pakora than Shah took up the idea with a devotee's passion. He held forth on pakora employment in his maiden Rajya Sabha speech, attacking political opponents for mocking this as an example of meaningful economic activity.
Let not a national party — the country's ruling party — degrade itself in this manner because it has failed to live up to its promise of building the economy and seeking to expand it in directions that will yield a new future for young Indians.
It's a disgrace and leaves a terrible impression of the country — not just of the BJP — among people around the world at a time when the BJP is planning to designate Modi a "Global Legend", no less.
For doing what exactly? Who knows? May be for getting the saffron party to have a parliamentary majority of its own, for there is no evidence whatsoever of this Indian PM leaving the slightest mark on the world stage — with his neighbourhood policy a shambles, and the relationship with America dependent only on selling India as a huge market and a military base.
But for a party always on the lookout for propaganda punches, the PM is the new Nehru, the new Gandhi, the new Mao, the new Dalai Lama and even the new Marilyn Monroe rolled in one. However, propaganda fades and falsehood has a narrow shelf life; reality lives on.
...The BJP was planning pakora parties and opening pakora stalls in a miserable attempt to mock the Opposition and to subliminally suggest to the poor that the saffron party's opponents were making fun of them for doing low-value work. This is "technology for development" of the Modi era.
"Chaiwala" politics is long done. If the Prime Minister must offer the country hope, he must move on and invent fresh gags and new lines of enchantment. Modi has gone places on the strength of volatile, hypocritical speeches delivered mostly in the idiom of the poor Indian. These were aimed at self-glorification and the denigration of others in unbecoming language. People have seen through them, especially the poor who had swallowed the untruths and were fooled. It's time to move on.
Mostly these speeches were constructed on the basis of "facts" — either so-called current data or presumed historical information — that were manufactured to dupe the unsuspecting public in an era when many Indians derive their information almost solely from WhatsApp groups, treating the abounding rumours contained in them as gospel.
Even by his own troubling standards, the PM's reply in Parliament to the motion of thanks to the President's address... was startling. It made evident that Modi's principal agenda is to pull down Nehru and banish him even from the land of memory; it is not to create jobs or promote science and learning or better lives for Indians.
The agenda is to build a "New India" of the RSS' imagination. Plainly put, the idea is to assert that all the science we know is embedded in the Vedas, and to deny that non-Hindu Indians had any contribution in the making of India's culture and civilisation.
In this "New India", Deendayal Upadhyay, a deep votary of RSS' fundamental tenets, which demonise Gandhi and his work, is the new Gandhi. Nehru's vision stands in the way of this egregious project. Hence, it must be denigrated even by inventing history, as Modi did in Parliament.
To challenge the reasonable notion that it is hard to think of democracy without Nehru, the PM expounded that India had democracy even in the Lichchavi era!
Then, the usual Patel card: If Vallabhbhai were PM, there would be no Kashmir problem. No one has informed Modi that both Nehru and Patel had together told Maharaja Hari Singh that it won't be considered an anti-India act even if he chose to join Pakistan, but he should make up his mind before Independence came about.
And no one's informed Modi that it is Gandhi who made Nehru PM and that he didn't usurp the throne. Anyway, it is now too late for Narendrabhai to change. May be the people will change him.

Kanna Asakura vs. RENA, Two More Bouts Announced for RIZIN 11
Credit: RIZIN FF
July's RIZIN 11 card is starting to take shape, with the announcement on Tuesday of three bouts including atomweight champ Kanna Asakura in a rematch with Rena Kubota.
On Tuesday, Japan's RIZIN FF announced two more bouts for it's upcoming RIZIN 11 card in July. In a press release, the promotion unveiled that a women's atomweight title fight would feature on the card. That will see Kanna Asakura (12-2) rematch the woman she defeated to win RIZIN's atomweight grand prix, RENA (6-1). Properly known as Rena Kubota, the Japanese star suffered her first loss at the hands of Asakura, and has not fought since. She asked for an immediate rematch at this month's RIZIN 10, and it appears she's getting it.
Asakura defeated Melissa Karagianis at that event, extending her win streak to seven. The twenty year old hasn't lost since a fight against Alyssa Garcia back in 2016.
In an interesting twist, RENA will first fight Elaine Leal (5-5) on July 6. That fight will take place at a Shoot Boxing event.
Quoted in Tuesday's release, the champion said that "I know how good of a fighter RENA is, and I know it's always going to be a tough fight against her. So regardless of her fight results or performance on July 6th, I will be preparing for the best RENA I can imagine, and fight her as the Champion, and an MMA fighter to get that tap."
Also announced for the RIZIN 11 card in July, light heavyweights Jiri Prochazka (20-3-1) and Bruno Cappelozza (10-4) will throw down. Both men are veterans of the promotion's 2015 Heavyweight Grand Prix. In addition, Saori Ishioka (15-11) and Miyuu Yamamoto (1-3) will face off.
RIZIN 11 takes place July 29 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, just outside of Tokyo. Mirko Cro-Cop was expected to feature on the card, however a recent injury is likely to keep him out until at least the fall.

Pakistan's Information and Broadcasting Minister Chaudhry Fawad Hussain has recommended Khan's name for the Nobel Peace Prize "for his contribution towards peace in the region". Hussain submitted resolution stated that Khan, "played a sagacious role in de-escalating tension between Pakistan and India". The resolution is expected to be taken up on Monday when it is scheduled to convene its session. It is also expected to be passed as the government has a majority in the House but it will be interesting to see if main opposition parties support the move.

If you have been struggling to sell your home, perhaps you are not doing everything as you possibly should be to make your sale as attractive as it could be.
Read our top tips about enhancing you property and just maybe 2011 can be the year that you nab the sale and are able to sell up and move on.
And we are not talking about completely re-decorating; only a few small changes to the layout, colour scheme or lighting can make your home a sure-buy and magnet for buyers.
Find out the maximum potential value of your property. It seems a waste of time and money to spend £10,000 improving the property if it will only add £5,000 on the sale price.
The best time for selling is in the season spring and autumn because the market is slower ion the rest of the year and therefore you are more likely to get the asking price.
It may not seem obvious, but the maintenance of the home will sway the buyers' minds as whether or not to buy it.
This means dripping taps, chipped woodwork, or a broken fence i.e. small DIY jobs need to be finished off to create that overall policed perception.
Clear the garden pathway to which potential clients walk up, mow the lawn, add a lick of paint to the front door and put on shiny new brass fittings to give that good first impression.
Inside the home, make sure it is clean and tidy, with the pots washed and put away making it as minimalistic and simple as possible. Buyers like space to be de-cluttered and mess-free to be able to envision their own belongings in there.
Placing flowers in each room creates that homely feel, smelling nice, pleasant and fresh. Avoid cooking strong food odours the night before such as fish or curry as the smell will linger. Freshly baked bread or fresh coffee is said to provide a welcoming feel to a home.
If you do want to put a little bit more effort in and you have the money to re-decorate, natural, earthy and pale colour shades are most preferable to buyers to maximise light and space.
And finally, if you have any pets it would be advisable to ask a family relative or close friend to look after them during the viewing. If the potential buyer is scared of dogs and yours is jumping up at them barking loudly it could put them off from buying the property.
Remember- be friendly, welcoming, and smile; ask them if they would like a drink and ensure they are seated comfortably.
If you follow our top tips you should be well on your way to bagging that sale and then all that is left is to find your new home and hire a reputable, quality Removals firm.

Toronto Blue Jays' Vero Beach Draft Pick Says He Aspires to be Chipper Jones Over Mickey Mantle
December 3, 2015 December 3, 2015 / hardythomast
2013 Vero Beach High School Graduate Christian Williams
WELL ON HIS WAY, CHRISTIAN WILLIAMS' DESIRE IS TO "MAKE IT INTO THE BIG LEAGUES AND PLAY FOR 22 YEARS."
He was the 16th round 2015 draft pick by the Toronto Blue Jays. There are 40 rounds in the draft and each of the 30 teams in the major leagues gets one pick each round.
"There's no pain that amounts to the pain you feel when someone else's name is called in the spot a team tells you they're going to pick you," tweeted Christian Williams, on the second day of the draft.
Williams eventually heard his name in the 16th round, when the Blue Jays selected the Gulf Coast Community College graduate.
He should have been picked sooner. In 37 games for the Gulf Coast League Community College he hit .398 had 32 RBI's and scored 26 runs.
Regardless, on November 27, 2015 Jays Journal, the Toronto Blue Jays News and opinion site posted the headline: "Christian Williams, considered the best power hitter selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2015 draft by Baseball America."
"The best power hitter selected by the Toronto Blue Jays."
Christian's father was a major influence on him becoming enchanted with baseball. While his dad played baseball in college, Christian's experience with him was watching him coach little league baseball and travel teams.
"By growing up with my dad I fell in love with it and just kept wanting more of it.
Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves was my idol. I remember being glued to the TV just watching and hoping I could be like Chipper Jones.
I loved how he played the game, how hard he played and how he carried himself."
Chipper Jones was # 10. That's why Christian has a 10 in his email address.
Larry Wayne "Chipper" Jones, Jr. (born April 24, 1972) is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) third baseman who spent his entire 19-year MLB career playing for the Atlanta Braves, and all 23 years as a professional baseball player in the Atlanta organization.
Maybe that's why Christian said he wants to play in the major leagues for 22 years. It's close enough.
Jones ended his career in 2012 with a .304 career batting average, with 468 home runs, 1,512 walks, and 1,623 RBI in 2,499 games with 8,984 at bats.
Christian Williams hit .398 in 37 games for the Gulf Coast League Community College.
The structure of minor league baseball consists of six levels: 1) Rookie; 2) Short-Season A; 3) A; 4) Advanced A; 5) AA and 6) AAA (triple A).
After bring drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays, Christian played ball with the Bluefield Blue Jays, a rookie minor league baseball team affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays in Bluefield, West Virginia.
Based on his performance with the Bluefield Blue Jays, Christian has jumped from the rookie minor league to Class A, where he will be joining the Dunedin Blue Jays of the Class A Florida State League, the spring training home of the Toronto Blue Jays. Everyone from the Blue Jays organization will be participating. Spring training will begin in February.
From the Dunedin Blue Jays we would hope Christian will advance to the Buffalo Bisons, based in Buffalo, New York, the Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.
In 2012, Forbes listed the Bisons as the 13th most valuable franchise in all of Minor League Baseball.
Then what? Christian Williams will have made "it into the big leagues and play for 22 years."

We are proud to be a part of the "Believe Team" for an exciting new initiative that's setting a deadline for finding a cure for ALS by the year 2021. The "by2021" initiative and challenge for the ALS organizations to band together and support this deadline was established by our good friend, Chris Rosati, who suffers personally from ALS.
More details will be coming out soon…in the meantime, Chris' video will share some details as well as the press release we just put out that's posted below. Stay tuned for more information on how YOU can support #by2021.
Local foundation throws support behind #by2021 in advance of Ice Bucket Challenge
WINSTON-SALEM, NC – The LVH ALS Foundation joins a growing list of ALS organizations, families and advocates endorsing a deadline to have a cure for ALS by 2021. The patient-driven initiative, identified by the hash tag #by2021, calls for the national ALS Association to commit to an actual timeline for having a cure by 2021.
"The #by2021 initiative perfectly aligns with the LVH ALS Foundation's goal of finding a cure for ALS," said Brett Hoge, founder of The LVH ALS Foundation created in honor of his father who passed away from ALS. "We are 100% behind our good friend, Chris Rosati".
#by2021 began when Chris Rosati, who suffers from ALS, challenged the ALSA Association to publicly set a deadline. "ALSA does good work," said Rosati who has been featured on CBS Evening News, Huffington Post and other outlets for spreading kindness. "But there's a lack of input from us – the ones suffering. And the only way they can feel the urgency that we feel is by setting a deadline."
Emulating John F. Kennedy's call to reach the moon within the decade, Rosati is challenging the ALS Association to focus its efforts on the 2021 deadline, with financial support from the many ALS foundations around the country that are currently doing fundraising for research for a cure for ALS.
While waiting for the ALS Association to publically take up the challenge, Rosati is inviting key players to what he calls the "Believe Team". This will include patients and caregivers, representatives from Congress, the pharmaceutical industry, government agencies, media and nonprofits. He hopes that this cross-section of people will bring creativity and a unique perspective to the work of finding a cure. The LVH ALS Foundation has already joined the team.
"We need to stop making excuses about why we can't find a cure. We need to take advantage of the awareness the Ice Bucket Challenge has created and challenge the brightest minds in research to find a cure by 2021," said Hoge.
The LVH ALS Foundation, one of the largest and most successful ALS fundraising organizations in North Carolina, is committed to providing funding to endow a professorship of ALS at Duke University – not only to help those with ALS today, but also to find a cure in the future. Visit www.lvhalsfoundation.org for more information.

'Rajnikanth' the name itself is enough. You may have seen him make you cry,smile and laugh with his funny gestures and acts.I would love to say that this evergreen superstar has impressed me with his acts.I can proudly say that he is my favourite actor.The talent this guy possess is appreciable and its significant to say that this guy actually rocks.I actually wrote this post because there is some reason behind this.Our superstar is celebrating his 60th birthday today.He is old but who cares until he is entertaining people. People in TN are crazy behind him.They are big Rajni freaks.
'Rajnism' is the term which is associated with absurdity in most cases.He makes things possible.I have written 2 posts about our great superstar.But I've made mockery of him in those two posts. But I can assure you that this post will see something similar. Let me tell you some historical facts and few things about this great person. Rajni unlike other actors was not rich and ambitious.He was born in a poor farmers family and there was a time when the family struggled for its basic requirements such as food and all. He was struggling during his initial phases of life. He came to Bangalore with few dreams.Before that he worked a carpenter and later switched on to work as a coolie. Despite of suffering various backdrops in life he never gave up.Its his confidence and courage which stood front.He served as a conductor for public buses in Bangalore.Life was miserable until he met Balachander.He was the first to introduce him in a movie and the movie was blockbuster hit.He started his career as villain,anti hero and supporting actor.Later on he turned into a full fledged actor and would produce blockbuster hits.Even today his movies would surpass his previous records.People in TN praise him like almighty and he is no less that god to them. The one thing I like about this Superstar is that although he may be rich and famous today, he is simple.He likes the way he is. 'Simplicity' is something which is one of this character.We get to learn a lot from him.He is the evergreen superstar and I'm glad that I am one of his fan.Once again I would like to wish him a very happy birthday.May he live long and god may shower all his blessings upon him.I'm sure he will act as a hero during his 80's and we all will enjoy it for sure. Thanks a lot O Super star for entertaining us for these 25 years and taking tamil cinema to great heights.Happy birthday to Yuvraj Singh as well and Wishes to Pooja Chopra who is representing India at the beauty contest.

27.Rajni can judge a book by its cover.
28.Nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole, except for Rajnikanth. He eats black holes. They taste like chicken.

36.Blogger Bandeep Salan and Rajni have one thing in common. Both are known for their craziness although the latter is better than the former.
37.People can tickle your funny bone.But Rajni breaks it.
