Portrait of a Man, Wearing an Embroidered Collar over Armour
Wallerant VAILLANT
Period 1600-1750, 17th century
Origin The Netherlands
Medium Black chalk, Stumping, On blue paper, Highlights in white chalk
Dimensions 41.7 x 36 cm (16³/₈ x 14¹/₈ inches)
Gallery Stephen Ongpin Fine Art
Around three quarters of the extant portrait drawings by Wallerant Vaillant are dated to the early part of his career in Amsterdam, between 1642 and 1653, before he established a second career as a mezzotint printmaker. Portrait drawings by the artist are today in the collections of the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin, the Harvard University Art Museums in Cambridge (MA), the Kupferstichkabinett in Dresden, the Groninger Museum in Groningen, the Teylers Museum in Haarlem, the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lille, the British Museum in London, the Landesmuseum in Mainz, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Louvre in Paris, the Albertina in Vienna, and elsewhere.
As has been noted of a stylistically comparable sheet in the Ackland Art Museum in North Carolina, Vaillant's large portrait drawings 'are allied to a Franco-Flemish tradition of portrait engraving that reached its peak at mid-century in the work of Robert Nanteuil…[combining] an apparent simplicity with rich detail…highlights and shadows are broadly and swiftly indicated, but fine details of embroidery and lace are handled with delicate line work…Like the sitter's costume itself, the drawing is both restrained and luxurious, suggesting an aristocratic outlook too confident to require obvious signs of grandeur.'
Among closely comparable drawings by Wallerant Vaillant is a portrait of the Dutch soldier Jacob Bicker, signed and dated 1643, in the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin, in which the sitter is also depicted in armour.
Period: 1600-1750, 17th century
Medium: Black chalk, Stumping, On blue paper, Highlights in white chalk
Signature: Signed and dated Vaillant f./ 1649 in black chalk at the upper left.
Dimensions: 41.7 x 36 cm (16³/₈ x 14¹/₈ inches)

Nancy Pelosi Quietly ABANDONS Jussie Smollett
Kevin Jackson
DC is subtle at times. But the subtlety of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in cleaning up her latest mess has all the subtlety of speaking through a bullhorn at a cocktail party.
Pelosi tried to sneak this retraction in. But in a sign that Jussie Smollett is persona non grata within the political community, the Speaker deleted a tweet expressing sympathy for Jussie Smollett.
In her rush to believe the lie of the Left, Pelosi quickly seized upon the lie and fake news narrative that Smollett fed her and others. She tweeted:
The racist, homophobic attack on @JussieSmollett is an affront to our humanity. No one should be attacked for who [sic] they are or whom they love. I pray that Jussie has a speedy recovery & that justice is served. May we all commit to ending this hate once & for all.
See the film the Left tried to stop!
BLEEDING BLUE. Now STREAMING at BleedingBlueMovie.com
Powerful words from the third person to lead America in the event of something happening to the president or vice-president.
And Pelosi is correct in everything that she wrote. So let's examine those words applied to the real victims.
Because Conservatives were attacked by Jussie Smollett for who we are and who we love. Will Pelosi pray for our speedy recovery in this vicious attack on us? Or will she ignore the wounds suffered by us?
And as Pelosi suggests, can we end the hate…of the Left? A hatred so putrid that they FAKE attacks in order to promote their lies? Will she condemn Smollett's actions. Further, will she condemn her own actions, as she believed the liar.
I suggest that Pelosi and others like Kamala Harris look at their actions during the Kavanaugh hearings, if they need an example of how their injustice impacts lives.
As for justice being served, from her lips to God's ears. I'd love to see justice dealt out fairly in this situation. Because mankind would be better served if Smollett was made to fully pay for his lies.
Without any evidence
Pelosi posted that tweet before she knew anything about the attack.
Like Obama with Professor Gates, where he alleged "The cop acted stupidly", Pelosi jumped to conclusions and used not a single brain cell to evaluate this farce. A moron could have seen through Smollett's farce, yet the third person in charge of our government missed it.
But now that Smollett has been revealed as the typical Left, in other words a vile scumbag liar, Pelosi quietly deletes her tweet. "Nothing to see her, move along."
Just as with the attempted destruction of Kavanaugh, the Left moves along as if nothing happened. They couldn't care less about the fallout.
I asked in the case of Smollett, what if two white men had been walking in that area during that time. What would their lives look like now?
Certainly they would eventually be released after they provided enough evidence to support their alibis. But what would have happened to their lives?
Who's next to Fall?
Now that the cat's out of the bag, other politicians will begin removing their tweets. Cory Booker tweeted:
The vicious attack on actor Jussie Smollett wasn an attempted modern-day lynching. I'm glad he's safe.
To those in Congress who don't feel the urgency to pass our Anti-Lynching bill designating lynching as a federal hate crime-I urge you to pay attention.
I wonder when Senator-turned-Presidential candidate Cory Booker will remove his tweet.
Now that we know a "modern-day lynching" didn't occur. And in fact, the only modern-day lynching in recent memory was that of Brett Kavanaugh.
No, Senator Booker, I see no urgency here. And in your words, "I urge you to pay attention".
Update: Video of Booker refusing to answer the question about this hoax. Then this walking abortion has the nerve to accuse Conservatives of committing "the majority of hate crimes".
.@SenBooker says he'll wait for the facts to come out before passing judgment in the #JussieSmollett case.
Too bad he didn't exercise the same discretion and responsibility with the false allegations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Anybody think Booker will apologize to the pro-Trump supporters who were falsely accused by him and the multitude of others?
I think his response in the video answers that question.
Thankfully, this piece of sh*t will NEVER be president of the United State. And Leftists who put him in office should be ashamed of themselves.

Wife Hilariously Greets Military Husband With a Garden Hose When He Returns Home | "Choose Your Weapon Very Carefully"
"Choose your weapon very carefully. Good luck", is written on the note stuck on the door and what happens next will have you in stitches.
By Umeza Peera
Cover Image Source: Reddit/ u/mindyour
A soldier's homecoming is often an emotional moment for his family but a video of a soldier being welcomed by his wife will brighten your day and make you laugh. People are enjoying this video on Reddit and so will you. The video starts with the soldier making an entry at his house's doorstep where he reads a hilarious note that says, "Welcome back home. Choose your weapon very carefully. Good luck".
The husband is seen donning his military clothes. A few water toy guns can be spotted in the video for him to choose from. The soldier is seen taking three water guns in his hands and stuffing one into his pocket, as instructed on the note at the door, "Choose your weapon very carefully." But he definitely didn't expect what happened next.
Image Source: Reddit/ u/mindyour
The soldier walks inside and finds his wife attacking him with a garden hose pipe. The water gushing out of the pipe makes him scream and his reaction is hilarious, It's clear that he was flabbergasted. Following his attack by the garden hose pipe storm, the soldier in the video exits the house and quickly makes an attempt to enter again, but even this time faces the water. His wife can be seen laughing as she realizes her plan worked. While her husband leaves the house once more in an effort to save himself from the water, she can be seen laughing while bending over on her knees.
The audience is enjoying and laughing uncontrollably at this video of a comedic water fight between a military husband and his wife. Many people are leaving comments on it and gushing about how much they loved the video. People commented on how they thought the military would approach it differently. A user named Popular-leg5084 wrote, "I wanted him to break the window and start shooting through it." Another user named Torq_Magebane wrote "Sounds like Art of War. And for real, going in the front door was his first mistake." dg3548 wrote, "Should've come in the back door."
A user assumed that the husband would go big for the next round, and the user named Meemeemiaw wrote, "Oh, he's gonna go big for the next round. LOL." Danksupreme11 named this cute fight between the husband and wife "Art Of War" Risingreform wrote, "Took field prep to a whole new level."
A user on Reddit suggested never fighting with opponents who are already prepared for the fight. A user named Perenium_falcon wrote, "Never fight your opponent on a battlefield they prepared." In response to the comment a user named domnyy wrote "Especially where they expect you to enter." Reddit user southernwx wrote "Nah. See, he wanted to nerf gun fight his wife. But more than that IF there was a clever "trap" set, then he'd be stealing her joy in not letting her spring it. You have to walk in."


All too often, we, as managers, provide specifications to developers and expect them to build tools without any context. Context helps developers make better decisions because they can reference broader business rules to develop logic and write code. Contextual information is also critical against the background of offshore outsourcing where teams consist of people with varied backgrounds absenting the underlying cultural assumptions we often take for granted. Giving developers clear direction and the rationale behind the work — business objectives, underlying business rules, etc. makes software faster and better.
We're working on data management module for a platform designed to help us manage call center campaigns more efficiently. Part of this process is describing a set of patterns for restricting bad data to sculpt a reasonably effective list — data suppression.
Obviously, unsellable entities retard floor momentum, thereby hurting agent morale.
The direct marketer's adage about campaigns, "there are three components to any campaign: the list, the offer, and the creative," provides some context to our lead suppression discussion.
Marketers ascribe two-thirds of a campaign's success to a good list. Good lists result from the portmanteau of smart data procurement and effective data management.
Smart list acquisition identifies characteristics that signify prospects with the means and motive for conversion then assembling enough data about those prospects to contact them. Broadly, there are two techniques for data assembly: compilation and response. Compiled lists are derived from a variety of sources like online data collection and data broker purchases. Response lists, by contrast, include opt-ins and/or people with the predisposition to accept your offer. Response lists exchange higher data costs for higher conversion rates.
Compiled lists' less targeted data works for volume techniques like telemarketing. For most telemarketing campaigns, it's not feasible to rely upon response lists exclusively because the volumes required to feed the dialer are too large for all but boutique programs. Often telemarketers associate new connects — newly formed or moved businesses — as a responsive list as those businesses are assumed to require extensive business services and will re-evaluate existing vendor relationships.
The offer, not the product or service, is what the recipient gets for responding. Price can be the offer. For example, inducements like "50% off" or "two for one" drive conversions. Infomercials create a sense of value and urgency by piling on items ("wait…there's more") and urgency ("act before midnight tonight"). Online services use free trials to great effect.
This is where the line between product development and sales approach breaks down — offer structures for broadcast direct response, online marketing, and telemarketing all integrate the offer into their product design.
Where the offer is often defined as part of the product/campaign design, it's expression obtains in the script. A compelling script must present the offer clearly and effectively within 30 seconds of reaching the decision maker. As the call unfolds, the script deploys language to build perceived value and mitigate risk ("look at everything you get", "you can cancel anytime").
Working from a well-defined, compelling, properly-scripted offer, agent skills are a major component of the creative. Conversions arise from effective presentations, objection handling, and closing skills.
There are a variety of activities that make lists easier to manage and optimize: using response data insofar as it's possible, working with reputable data brokers and frequent opt-out culling. The most effective techniques for lead management, in our experience, are detailed suppression tables that remove bad records before introducing them to the campaign database and outside validation to remove bad and non-compliant data. In this section, I'll present the basic process for suppression and our dialing cycles without delving too deeply into the actual suppression logic.
To keep things straight, we use the nomenclature defined below. It is essential to maintain a strict discipline on how data is described among the development team, the operations team, and the ecosystem centers. This keeps all parties on the same page with data movement and management.
Batch — leads categories by source.
List — leads distributed to each center for 2 week dialing period.
First Import — one-time event where new leads are added to the database.
Distribution — share lead list with center or email application.
Alpha List — (by center) the first export we provide the center to provide ample leads for dialing This Site. This is double the standard load.
Omega List — (by center) list supplied bi-weekly and recalled after two weeks of dialing.
Zulu List — alternating list supplied bi-weekly and recalled after two weeks of dialing.
Conversion — the campaign's key event: a trail, opt-in, request for information, set appointment, or a sale.
We run suppression at three points in our lead process. These work in conjunction with update protocols, which define how we manage records on recall, and distribution protocols, which define how we sort records for export. For reference, I've included definitions for the import and recall events.
The following protocols provide the high-level logic for data suppression. We use these when we introduce new or recalled data into our system. Recalled data has been active at a call center or in a mail campaign, and we run suppression before we allow this data to enter our system with updates to the record's history.
Duplicate suppression is self-explanatory, whereas category and keyword suppression are the results of internal tables gleaned from general and campaign experience. We've found that small government agencies can resemble small businesses and specific SIC/NAICS code restriction combined with keyword restrictions handle most of the inconvertible leads. Our tables are also manually updated when we encounter import dispositions for data that cannot be sold. Finally, we use RealValidation to handle our last suppression protocols by removing bad or regulated data.

A gigantic climb for sick children
November 15, 2017 in News
Karl Hayes, transition year student of Clongowes Wood College SJ in County Kildare, recently climbed up the Khumbu glacier above Mount Everest base camp at 5,550 metres in aid of Crumlin Children's Hospital.
On 30 October Karl flew from Katmandu to Lukla, a small airstrip 2,900 m high in the Himalayas. There he joined a group of climbers making their way to the glacier base camp of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world at 8,848 metres high.
It is easy to forget that the first confirmed successful climb of Mt Everest was relatively recent; on 29 May 1953 Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay spent about 15 minutes at the summit taking in their achievement, snapping some photographs and nibbling on mint cake. That said, it is possible that a British School teacher George Mallory and his team mate, may have scaled the mountain in 1924 though they did not live to tell the tale, losing their lives to the harsh conditions on the way back from their attempt.
Karl and his fellow climbers including his father Declan spent eight days trekking at high altitude through remarkable landscapes along by the Dudh Kosi or 'Milk River' (named for its many rapids) and stayed at Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital set in a horseshoe valley 3,340 m high. They stopped at the fabled Thayangboche Monastery – the highest Buddhist monastery in Nepal – and trekked past Dingbouche at 4,410 metres – one of the highest permanent agricultural villages in the world. At the end of the eight day trek they arrived at Everest Base Camp at 5,364m, from where they hiked up the Khumbu glacier, following the path north to Kala Pattar, a 5,550 m 'hill' with spectacular views of Everest.
Karl is aiming to raise funds for this year's Duck Push – pushing a giant duck from Dublin to Limerick and raising money along the way – for Crumlin Children's Hospital where the monies raised will be used to purchase medical equipment. To support Karl and his quest to help sick children, please use the following link. So far he has raised more than €1,500.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Reveals New Story Trailer-Released by Ninetendo switch
vikas shrivastava
Nintendo has published a modern trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and it captions a commencing from the series beautifully redecorated with English lyrics and vocals gorgeous enough to give rise to the most battle-hardened Zelda fans alleviate tears of thoughtful joy. Even if the trailer is a tad summary at just 30 seconds, it is more than worth a click if just for the ear candy.
The song in the new Story Trailer for Zelda Link's Awakening is a contemporary rendition of Ballad of the Wind Fish from the initial Link's Awakening. It is also the first time English-language ballads and vocals have been established to the melody, with the Japanese edition has announced a couple of weeks back. It is hard to comprehend some of the words, but here is what we emerged with:
Sleep as wake, Dreams will fade
Although we cling fast, Was it real
What we saw, And believe
Lost in dreams, We sleep on
Tossing and turning, Stay with me…
We suppose we should also discuss what is actually occurring in the trailer. As mentioned earlier, it is a very quick video, and though it is labeled a "Story Trailer," there is not a lot here that broadens on what we already realize having played the actual game and saw 30 minutes of gameplay footage at Gamescom. Yet, beautiful music was aa nice surprise. And apart from that, the game appears on Friday, so it is not like we will be staying long.
Link's Awakening is just one of the most exhilarating games coming to Switch in 2019 and after.

The actual The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening was published for the Nintendo Game Boy back in 1993. An additional version of the game, Link's Awakening DX, was published for the Game Boy Color in 1998.

Q: NuGet do I need to install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore if all I need is its provider? I'm relatively new to NuGet. I plan to make only use of a sqlite database in my project. Using the NuGet Packet Manager I saw that there are several packages related to Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.
If make use of only sqlite would the Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite package suffice or is it also important to install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore package?
I feel a bit confused, when should I install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore instead of Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite and vice versa?

A: If you are referencing a package via PackageReference, you automatically get all of it's dependencies as well.
Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite 3.0.0 (targeting .NETStandard 2.1) depends on Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite.Core 3.0.0, which depends on Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Relational 3.0.0, which eventually depends on Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore 3.0.0 (which now further depends on other packages).
So a PackageReference of
<Project>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite" Version="3.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

gets your project not only the top-level package, but also all transitive dependencies as dependency graph - if the PackageReferences of those projects in return isn't tagged with PrivateAssets to prevent the flow to the parent project, as described in the docs.
You can review all the assemblies consumed by your project via the Solution Explorer of Visual Studio:

Or alternatively via the .NET Core CLI by typing:
dotnet list package --include-transitive
Project 'Project' has the following package references
   [netcoreapp3.0]:

To answer your second question: You may want to just install Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore for database provider agnostic class libraries, providing general Entity Framework Core functionality.

That is a marked difference — and comforting one, too.
For God, that means his existence is in the past, the present, and the future. Whereas the beast has no future. The beast's existence, therefore, is limited and finite, while God's existence is unlimited and infinite. God will prevail; the beast will be defeated.


October 28 the Alumni Tournament saw the men's team, James Jammers and the women's team, Campbell Crushers win the annual event. It was a great day seeing old alumni coming back for a day of fun.
The students of Gus Wetter were busy last week. The halls and classroom were filled with students dressed up in Halloween costumes. There were the traditional costumes of witches and vampires to princesses, monsters and puns. The elementary student entertained the residents at the extended care and the lodge with songs and poems. Each of the classrooms, the junior high and senior high held their parties in the afternoon with lots of games and food. On Nov. 1 the elementary had their Western Spirit Day.
Last week also saw the volleyball season come to an end for all the teams. The junior High teams were in Stettler on Saturday for the CARA tournament, where both the boys and girls placed third in their pool. The Senior High had their playoffs on Thursday night and lost out.
Report cards went out last Thursday and parent – teacher interviews were held this week. The Scholastic Book Fair is on this week in the library from Nov. 6-9. If you want to find some stocking stuffers or a good book to read come on down and check it out.
Operation Christmas Child is happening. Students can bring in items to put in a box or drop off a box with $7 to cover the cost of shipping. Boxes and items need to be at the school by Nov. 15. We have boxes available for anyone who wants to do a box. Just ask at the office.
November 10 was the school Remembrance Day Service at 10:45a.m. in the school gym.
Our Live Different group will be going to build a house next summer in Dominican Republic so are having a spaghetti supper and silent auction fundraiser on Thursday, November 23 from 5-8 p.m. at the school. They will be serving spaghetti and meat-sauce, caesar salad, garlic bread, ice cream (gluten and dairy free option available). Preschool are free, students are $5 and adults are $10. Please come out and support this worthy cause.
Notice a correction in the news article on Oct. 19, in the Grade 12 physics award, there was only one recipient, Cassandra Doolaege.

Appear Inc. launches World's first Graphene Battery-powered smartphone
By Aliasgar Ayaz
San Francisco based tech company, Appear Inc., has announced on Friday, the launch of the world's lightest and first graphene battery-powered smartphone with innovative water-resistant technology. The interest in the phone is showing as Appear has begun receiving orders and projections call for a million units sold in the first six months. By March 2021, the smartphone would be available in stores and major online retailers.
Foxconn Will Help Meet Growing Demands
Foxconn is a well-known and trusted manufacturer for many popular brands of smartphones including BlackBerry, iPhone, and Nokia, and consumer electronic products including iPad, PlayStation, and Xbox. Appear has partnered with Foxconn India for its growing manufacturing needs as Foxconn has the experience, expertise, and facilities to meet Appear's high-quality standards.
The Phone Features Graphene Fast-Charge Battery
Appear, known to create innovative products using advanced material science, has shown its caliber with this smartphone powered by Qualcomm processors. The Graphene Super 20 Power Bank by Appear, recharges fully in 20 minutes using the company's proprietary Fast Charge battery technology, which has now been incorporated in a smartphone successfully.
Graphene, similar to graphite, has revolutionized many areas of manufacturing due to its unique properties, it is composed purely of carbon. Graphene is lightweight and one of the most conductive materials even though it is stronger than steel. This makes it the correct material to act as a supercapacitor for Appear's revolutionary Fast Charge Technology. It is a known fact in the technology industry that graphene-enhanced Li-ion batteries have longer lifespans and faster charging times.
The Smartphone Is Complete With Water Resilient Technology
A mind-boggling stat about the enmity between water and smartphones is that 11% of smartphones are damaged by water, every year, that is 165 million phones per year or 452,000 per day! As consumers become more dependent on their smartphones, water protection is a necessary feature added in the new Appear smartphone. This new smartphone is the perfect option for the eco-conscious consumer as building more resilient phones will also help reduce growing electronic waste.
Appear designed the Buoyant and Levitating Speakers
The water-resistant technology was first debuted by Appear in its Buoyant Speakers, proving the success of the company's technology in pools across the world. However, the real show-stopper by Appear has been its levitating speakers. When powered, the speaker rises up and hovers over the speaker box. The company has plans to license the technology across many industries and countries.
Available in March 2021
Appear has partnered with Amazon, Sharaf DG, and many more e-tailers as it is expecting high consumer demand. To ensure that its smartphones are available globally, the company will be working with 70+ distributors. They are expected to be available in March 2021, you can visit Appear for further details.

South Beach sunrise and the fam crashing the gates at the South Beach Triathlon on April 14, 2019 in Miami, Florida in memory of the one and only Joe Saunders.
Big ups to the guys @fullthrottlenation for guiding me through the Triathlon spectator process. Without their tips I would have missed every shot of my squad doing it up on the beach. Very gracious, very friendly!
I saw a guy wipe out when his tire exploded on a turn and sprayed out all this Alien blood looking white liquid - dude went down like a champion - came up instantly without a scratch - wheeled his bike to the sideline, pumped up his tire with a spectator's bike pump (obviously) and then went on with the show. Full Throttle Dudes were quick to explain that it wasn't actual Xenomorph blood (disappointing). I nodded like I understood that it wasn't space blood-liquid, but in my mind I still witnessed an acid-blood-bike-tire expulsion.
They also set me up with an app on my phone what I could see if my dad finished the swim portion of the triathlon - for this I am eternally grateful. Definitely saved me a lot of worry.
I would also like to thank and apologize to the guy at the end of the video who stopped me from crossing the finish line with dad - I would have disqualified him.
He understood I was excited and although he had to wrap me up touch-football style, we ended the encounter amicably.
It was a spectacular weekend and my first time visiting Miami - luckiest guy around!

One of many things to enjoy about going to a theater performance, whether it's a small storefront theater or a big established company, is the thought that perhaps one of the actors you're seeing on stage may one day become a star.
The Steppenwolf Theatre has a legendary history of nurturing talent. Many of their ensemble members have found fame in film and TV. As part of the City's Year of Chicago Theatre, I've rounded up a few movies that feature Steppenwolf actors.
Ensemble members Laurie Metcalf and Tracy Letts starred in the recent Oscar-nominated film Lady Bird, about a less-than-stellar high school student who dreams of the big-time. Metcalf and Letts play her parents. (Letts is also a successful playwright, who had a smash hit with August: Osage County.)

Joan Allen, who's had a long and distinguished career, was Oscar-nominated for her supporting role in The Crucible, based on the classic Arthur Miller play about the Salem witch trials (and a former One Book, One Chicago reading selection).

This is just a sampling of some of the big-screen projects that have brought the work of Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre to the attention of audiences around the world.

Estate agent says £1 Toxteth home restored by taxi driver would sell for £125,000
Price for terraced home could rise to £150,000 when rest of area is redeveloped
Eleanor Barlow
A DERELICT Liverpool home sold to a taxi driver for £1 could fetch £125,000 on the market, according to property experts.
The four-bedroom house in Cairns Street, Toxteth, underwent a major restoration after it was sold to Jayalal Madde as part of a council scheme.
The house is now nearing completion and the ECHO asked Joanna Hudson, manager of Venmore estate agents in Liverpool, to take a look around and tell us how much it would be worth if it went on the market today.
After an extensive tour she described the refurbished property as a "fabulous family home" and said she imagined it would attract a great deal of interest.
Ms Hudson said: "I would have an estimate valuation for this property at £125,000, in its existing condition, based on the fact that the road is still looking to be finished and developed, but, when the property and the road is completely finished I would value it at £150,000."
Liverpool's £1 house – Photos inside the first refurbished home in Toxteth
She added: "It just shows what can be achieved."
The figures would mean dad-of-two Mr Madde, who spent about £40,000 on restoration work, would stand to make about £85,000 profit on the property if he sold it now and £110,000 if he sold in the future.
But Mr Madde, who will have to stay at the house for five years as part of the council agreement, says he will not be looking to move out.
He said: "We are going to stay here our whole lives."


Released via local label/promoters, Nocturne Records – the city purveyors of storytelling and Folk (from Midnight Bonfies to Katherine Priddy), the If I Found You Here launch night was supported by Dancing Years and Declan McKenna – alongside DJs from Goodnight Lenin.
Joëlle O'Toole was at the Hare & Hounds for a Birmingham Review, grabbing some of life's ever fleeting moments to stick in THE GALLERY.
Blah blah, young, blah blah, talented. Ignore the obvious rhetoric; Declan McKenna is well worth a stop, look & listen regardless – penning some feisty Folk (© Birmingham Review) with some bitter sweet lyrics and the occasional Ska staccato to move it all along. I suppose you could say he's a bit like Jake Bugg without the skiffle addiction. And, you know, good. Plus those kindly folk on Worthy Farm have given him some walking around money, so there's probably more to come from Mr McKenna before the next festival season.
With a name that reminds me of a Reeves & Mortimer sketch, but a sound that's much more laudable, Dancing Years are getting ready for their debut release EP next Feb. Great vocals, strong melodies; do not be put off by the tweed-jumper/Geography-teacher-on-weekends moniker, this quintet from Leeds are a pretty spectacular thing. They're getting some solid support from Auntie at the moment too; Dancing Years could have a promising new year ahead of them.
The band of the hour, and a pretty well loved/established/supported local ensemble – the release of their debut LP, If I Found You Here, is another step along Boat to Row's already confident path. A group of musician's musicians, quite clearly friends, and writers of some Folk sturdy enough to support even the most cynical of hearts (mine) Boat to Row are one of the city's musical feathers. As in cap..? Anyway… just check out the album and you'll see what I mean.

How Big Is China's Belt and Road?
The big numbers being floated for President Xi Jinping's signature foreign policy effort, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), do not add up. Popular estimates for Chinese investment under the BRI range from $1 trillion to $8 trillion, hardly a rounding error. Without a clearer sense of the BRI's scale, it is difficult to assess its economic and strategic implications. A closer look reveals the highest figures are inflated, scoring political points for Beijing in the short term but also creating unrealistic expectations.
Mapping the BRI is part art, part science. It is a moving target, loosely defined and ever expanding. It includes Chinese investment in roads, ports, and other hard infrastructure. It includes trade deals, transportation agreements, and other "soft" infrastructure efforts. If you traveled to China since September 2013, congratulations, you may have participated in the BRI. It includes tourism and other "people-to-people" ties such as education and cultural exchanges.
The BRI is not constrained by geography or even gravity. When announced in 2013, it had two major components: an overland "belt" across the Eurasian supercontinent and a maritime "road" across the Indian ocean and up to Europe via the Suez Canal. Since its announcement in 2013, this vision has stretched into the Arctic, cyberspace, and outer space. Countries have signed onto the BRI in places as far-flung from China as Central America.
But participation in the BRI is less meaningful than it might seem. Roughly 70 countries have joined, but their levels of Chinese investment vary widely. Pakistan has attracted some $60 billion for projects. South Korea signed up, but as of last year, it had no BRI projects. Despite being among the most vocal critics of the BRI, India has still attracted some Chinese investment. An industrial park in Gurajat, for example, would be easily branded as a BRI project elsewhere. In sum, participation in the BRI is not a prerequisite for doing related business with China, nor is participation a guarantee of more business.
Different assumptions for these basic questions—what, where, who, and when—naturally lead to different estimates for the BRI's size. Stretch any dimension, and the numbers start to rise, especially if looking into the future. But look at what has happened to date, and a more modest picture begins to emerge, including risks that could eventually deflate the BRI's grand ambitions.
Consider the most common estimate: $1 trillion. This figure is usually tied to promised infrastructure investment. Note the two key qualifiers: infrastructure and promised. Infrastructure, which the CSIS Reconnecting Asia Project tracks, is a major component of the BRI, but as noted earlier, not the entirety of it. There is a natural lag between infrastructure pledges and actual investment, given the complexity of the project planning and construction process. But China, like other countries, also tends to promise more than it delivers.
The best available data suggest that China's $1 trillion promise has not been met, and at current trends, will not be met for several years. The Reconnecting Asia Project is tracking roughly $90 billion of Chinese funding for transportation projects (specifically, railways, roads, ports, and dry ports) during 2014–2017. Later this year, we'll add power plants, which along with other energy projects, play a significant part in BRI activities. For example, roughly half of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor's investments are energy related.
The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and Heritage Chinese Global Investment Tracker, which tracks Chinese construction and investment across all sectors, puts the total at roughly $340 billion during 2014–2017. According to AEI's Cecilia Joy-Perez and Derek Scissors, current trends suggest it would take six to seven years for the BRI to reach the $1 trillion mark. Given limited private-sector participation, they reason that state-driven activities could push the BRI across the $2 trillion threshold in the 2030s.
So how did BRI estimates balloon to $8 trillion? Here's a theory: they conflate Asia's massive infrastructure needs with comparatively modest Chinese investments.
Many references to the $8 trillion figure lead back to a 2016 commentary in the Hong Kong Economic Journal, which noted, "The financial experts at the State Council have estimated that 'One Belt, One Road' would cost as much as US$8 trillion if it was fully implemented following Xi's orders." That State Council estimate has remained elusive. But a similar number was in circulation around the same time. In 2009, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimated that developing Asia needed $8 trillion of infrastructure investment during 2010–2020.
If there was a State Council estimate, its author may have adopted the ADB's figure for several reasons. The BRI has only been defined in broad strokes, making reliable estimates difficult if not impossible. And why create a new estimate from scratch, when you could borrow an existing one? Additionally, the BRI has evolved since its announcement. A vision document for maritime cooperation under the BRI was not issued until June 2017. Even the name has changed, having started as the "One Belt, One Road" (OBOR).
Misperceptions about the BRI's size carry practical implications. For now, Chinese officials can enjoy watching the estimates rise and could even reap some political benefits. They have conjured up a massive carrot that has caught the world's attention. Some developing countries are "linking" their development plans with the BRI. International companies have assembled teams to source BRI deals. All of these activities reflect a willingness to organize, at least in appearance, around China's vision.
But China also faces downsides to unrealistic BRI estimates. The BRI's size excites some observers but worries others. As the effort inflates, so do concerns about its impact on debt levels, the environment, and even regional security. For China, perhaps the biggest risk is unmet expectations. With the world watching, China now faces pressure to deliver on its promises. Even if Chinese officials did not promise trillions of dollars in investment, they have done little to correct these misperceptions.
A little modesty about the BRI's scale could go a long way. For supporters, it could help reset expectations. For skeptics, it could temper fears about the BRI's risks. The benefits are obvious, but they require bringing Xi's grand vision down to earth. That is a price few of his advisers will be eager to pay.

Chronology of major events leading to Masood Azhar's designation as global terrorist
His terror outfit, founded in 2000, claimed responsibility for many terror attacks in India, including the suicide attack against Indian security forces in Pulwama

UN designates Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as global terrorist
UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed's chief Masood Azhar on Wednesday was designated as a global terrorist by the UN Security Council.
His terror outfit, founded in 2000, claimed responsibility for many terror attacks in India, including the suicide attack against Indian security forces in Pulwama on February 14 in which 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel were killed.
FOLLOWING IS THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE MAJOR EVENTS LEADING TO HIS DESIGNATION:
2009: India moves a proposal by itself to designate Azhar as a global terrorist, a listing that will subject him to global travel ban, asset freeze and arms embargo. China blocks the move.
2016: India again moves the proposal with the backing of the P3 - the United States, the United Kingdom and France in the UN's 1267 Sanctions Committee to ban Azhar.
2017: The P3 nations move a similar proposal again. China, a veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, blocks the proposal from being adopted.
February 27, 2019: The US, the UK and France move a fresh proposal in the UN Security Council to designate Azhar as a global terrorist.
March 13, 2019: China puts the hold on the proposal scuttling yet another attempt to blacklist the JeM chief. The proposal was the fourth such bid at the UN in the last 10 years to list Azhar as a global terrorist.
March 28, 2019: The US, supported by France and the UK, directly moves a draft resolution in the UN Security Council to blacklist the Pakistan-based terror group's chief.
April 3, 2019: China hits out at the US for threatening to use "all available resources" to designate the Pakistan-based JeM chief as a 'global terrorist', saying Washington's move is complicating the issue and not conducive to peace and stability in South Asia.
April 30, 2019: China says "some progress" has been achieved on designating Azhar as a global terrorist by the UN and hopes that the vexed issue will be "properly resolved".
May 1, 2019: The 1267 Sanctions Committee designates Azhar as a global terrorist after China lifts the hold on the proposal of the US, the UK and France.

How did Egypt fall?
modern Egyptian: the ancient Egyptians are the same group of people as the modern Egyptians.
Afrocentric: the ancient Egyptians were black Africans, displaced by later movements of peoples, for example the Macedonian, Roman and Arab conquests.
Eurocentric: the ancient Egyptians are ancestral to modern Europe..
The name 'Egypt' comes from the Greek Aegyptos which was the Greek pronunciation of the ancient Egyptian name 'Hwt-Ka-Ptah' ("Mansion of the Spirit of Ptah"), originally the name of the city of Memphis.
The country has six main physical regions: the Nile Valley, the Nile Delta, the Western Desert, the Eastern Desert and the Sinai Peninsula.
Egypt boasts of a spectacularly beautiful landscape filled with cultural gems. Sun, sea and sand interspersed with a touch of exotic culture and heritage, the gushing river Nile, ancient monuments, vast deserts, world-famous coral reefs to cosmopolitan cities – enough reasons to visit Egypt!
MizraimBiblical Egypt (Hebrew: מִצְרַיִם; miṣ-rā-yim), or Mizraim, is a theological term used by historians and scholars to differentiate between Ancient Egypt as it is portrayed in Judeo-Christian texts and what is known about the region based on archaeological evidence.
For almost 30 centuries—from its unification around 3100 B.C. to its conquest by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.—ancient Egypt was the preeminent civilization in the Mediterranean world.
The Journey. Mary and Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem in 5 B.C. before the birth of Jesus Christ. The family moved to Egypt after Joseph was told in a dream to flee to the now North African country to escape the command of Herod the Great to slaughter children in and around Bethlehem.
The report said 32.5% of Egyptians lived below the poverty line in 2018, up from 27.8% in 2015 and 16.7% in 2000. It said 6.2% of Egyptians live in extreme poverty. It set the poverty line at around $1.45 per day and the extreme poverty line at less than a dollar a day.
This is probably derived from an ancient term, Mizraim which may have itself been derived from an ancient Egyptian word, md-r mdr , which people in the region called Egypt. Misr is an Arabic name simply meaning "country", and part of the tradition of this term in as a name for Egypt comes from the Islamic Quran.
The word originally connoted "metropolis" or "civilization" and means "country", or "frontier-land". The ancient Egyptian name of the country is Kemet (km. t), which means "black land", referring to the fertile black soils of the Nile flood plains, distinct from the deshret (dšṛt), or "red land" of the desert.
Both of the gospels which describe the nativity of Jesus agree that he was born in Bethlehem and then later moved with his family to live in Nazareth. The Gospel of Matthew describes how Joseph, Mary, and Jesus went to Egypt to escape from Herod the Great's slaughter of the baby boys in Bethlehem.
MisrMisr, the romanized Arabic name for Egypt.
From Egyptian art, we know that people were depicted with reddish, olive, or yellow skin tones. The Sphinx has been described as having Nubian or sub-Saharan features. And from literature, Greek writers like Herodotus and Aristotle referred to Egyptians as having dark skin.
Egyptian slaves, specifically during the New Kingdom era, originated from foreign lands. The slaves themselves were seen as an accomplishment to Egyptian kings' reign, and a sign of power. Slaves or bAk were seen as property or a commodity to be bought and sold.
The Holy Family left from Bethlehem to Egypt after an angel warned Joseph to leave with Jesus and Virgin Mary. They started their journey through northern Sinai until reaching Farama. The places they stayed in have now been transformed to churches and monasteries.
The state religion of Egypt is Islam.
The Ancient Egyptian Civilization Ancient Egypt is one of the oldest and culturally rich civilizations on this list. … The civilization coalesced around 3150 BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology) with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh.
Egypt thus fell easy prey to the expanding Persian empire in 525 BC, remaining under their dominion for over a century. National rule was revived between 404 and 342 BC, but the various regimes (the 28th, 29th and 30th dynasties) were riven by in-fighting, and the Persians reasserted their power in 342 BC.

Trang An, Ninh Binh complex - world heritage site
7km west of the center of Ninh Binh province and 96 km south of Hanoi, Trang An covers an area of nearly 2,200 ha surrounded by limestone, hills, and river valleys. Trang An is a scenic area near Ninh Bình, Vietnam renowned for its boat cave tours. On 23 June 2014, at the 38th session of the World Heritage Committee in Doha, the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Trang An Eco-Tourism Complex is a complex beauty - landscapes called as an 'outdoor geological museum' with numerous caves, mountains, valley water, trees and the historic relic. Trang An cave ecosystem almost belongings to Hoa Lu District and a part of northwest city of Ninh Binh province.
According to statistics, Trang An eco-tourism complex has over 310 species of higher plants, many algae and fungi. In particular, there have some rare woods and amount of valuable trees using for food, medicine. In addition, there has about 30 species of mammals, 50 species of birds, dozens of species of reptiles and some rare animals such as: chamois, leopard, phoenix…
Besides, Trang An exhibits an outstanding humid tropical, limestone tower karst landscape, which is considered to be a model of its kind and of outstanding global geological significance. Dissection of an uplifted limestone massif has reached the final stages of karst evolution, and the modern landscape contains a wide range of classical karst landforms, including spectacular cones, towers and transitional karst hills, surrounded by a network of closed depressions and valleys inter-connected by an intricate system of caves, including many subterranean waterways. Formed by the interaction of some major regional tectonic structures and events, the area is unique in having been invaded and reworked by the sea several times in the recent geological past but is now exposed on land. Landform development over more than five million years has produced a scenic landscape of extraordinary beauty with exceptional aesthetic qualities - a blend of towering cliff-bounded mountains, draped in a natural cover of rain forest, surrounded by huge and deeply developed internal basins whose clear and quietly flowing waters are connected through a maze of underground caverns and streams, many of which are navigable by sampans carrying visitors.
The only way to discover the place's beauty is on a small bamboo boat. A 3-hour tour begins at the reception center in Trang An avenue. It takes about ten minutes to go from Trang An to the river through the mountains. The weather is cool here.
Coming to Trang An eco-tourism complex, tourists can enjoy the grandeur of the mountains, explore majestic caves and have a pure of relaxation with the spiritual culture of Bai Dinh Pagoda.

Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 First Glance: Review and Specs

Samsung Galaxy S4 at a first Glance: Galaxy 4 Review and Specs
This is Cellunlocker.net's thoughts and info on the soon to be launch, Samsung Galaxy S4
Planning on getting a new device? Wait no longer! On March.14 2013 Samsung unveiled a brand new iteration of the Galaxy lineup as many have come to know (and is officially known as); the new Galaxy S4. The device comes in two flavors; one for the North American consumers and one for the rest of the world. The S4 will come as either the White Frost or the Black Mist color configurations. Both have interesting designs embedded into the front and back that seems like a toned down version to the Nexus 4 smartphone. Building on an already legendary lineage of galaxy devices Samsung packs a new punch in the world of smartphones (and especially at Apple) featuring their new flagship device as "your life companion".
The specs on the fly:
The model will come in two flavors: either the 8-core (octa-core) Exynos 5 Octa 5410 processor sporting two layers of quad Cortex-A15 cores (clocked at 1.6 GHz) a quad Cortex-A7 (clocked at 1.2GHz) and with the PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU component added.
The second flavor is for the North American version with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset sporting its quad-core KRAIT 300 CPU and an Adreno 320 GPU chipset. Both versions deliver a hefty hardware specification as well. The Galaxy S4 will come with a LPDDR3 2 GB RAM, internal storage spaces of 16/32/64 GB and new sensors that can detect humidity and temperature. Samsung is looking to make the S4 4G LTE capable globally.
The S4 will also come with expandable storage for a microSD card supporting up to 64 GB. The screen of this true beast will use a FULL Super HD AMOLED capacitive touch screen that is 4.99 in. diagonally and packs 441 PPI (pixels per inch). Its camera will have a 13 MP sensor at the rear that has the ability to take 1080P videos as well as a 2.0 MP 1080p front facing camera.
The S4 will support GSM, GPRS, EDGE, HSPA+, and Cat 3 LTE connections that support download speeds of up to 100Mbps. LTE will no doubt be supported in only specific markets. Wi-Fi will include standard 802.11 protocols A, B, G, N, and also the 802.11 AC (draft). The S4 will also come with Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, GPS, GLONASS, MHL 2.0 and an IR LED (remote control).
The Software:
Although the hardware sports an incredible improvement over its successful predecessors the more interesting points are in Samsung's new rendition on software/hardware.
The Sensors:
Samsung is incorporating some new and interesting features such as a touch less gesture features (known as AIR gesture). This can be used by simply waving your hands slightly in certain directions over the screen to turn pages or do something special on the device. Along with this comes with an eye-tracking feature that tracks where your eyes are looking at. This is rather interesting as the s4 will intuitively stop any videos playing when you look away and resume when you look at the screen again. The feature can be quite useful if you don't want to miss any bit of the movie but have had no time to hit the pause button. Eye-tracking has also been implemented so that the screen will scroll up and down a text or a web page or anything applicable as you read up or read down. There are also sensors that detect temperature, humidity to help understand your environment.
DUAL mode camera/and camera modes:
The camera comes with a dual mode that allows the user to use both the front facing camera as well as the back facing camera simultaneously. This is useful if you want to include your face in the photo while taking a picture of friends or family. On top of this we have the ability to do voice chats between each galaxy devices and the dual camera can really come in hand to include people in front of you and yourself.
The S4 can also take pictures while recording sound at the same time so that when you browse through your photos later on there are sounds playing with each photo to improve your experience in reminiscing. Drama shot lets you combine various pieces of a moving action/object/person using a burst mode taking about 100 photos in a second to depict various artistic renditions.
Album Mode:
Album mode is an interesting feature that allows the phone to intuitively allow your phone to be used as a photo album crafting tool. As you travel and take pictures and record videos the phone will automatically create a beautiful album which you can send to Samsung automatically and purchase a real album book for a fee.
S Health:
What is this? The S4 can now keep your health in check? Check it out: new features integrated a set of ways to help maintain your health. Samsung explains that the galaxy s4 can know and understand your sleeping patterns; your calories burnt, and even the sugar levels in your body via healthcare accessories, sensors, and applications such as a wristband. However, we all know that this will require some sort of FDA approval processes or acceptances from Health Canada. How reliable will this function be? We will see for ourselves soon.
S Translate:
This nifty feature allows you to speak a language into the device to be heard as another language to someone beside you in real time situations. There are 9 languages programmed (and more on the way) which will help with all the basic travel languages needed and contributes to the whole concept of this device being your "life companion".
Group Play:
With Group Play users are able to instantly transfer documents, photos, music, videos and even play multiplayer games together. According to Samsung, you do not even need internet access anymore for this.
S-voice Drive:
Samsung's S-voice was… lackluster in the past models. However, it seems they have taken this personal assistant and beefed it up with added functionality and improvements while driving and in various other life situations.
S Accessories:
Samsung is also launching with the S4 an array of awesome accessories. Just to summarize quickly there will be wristbands, intuitive cases, charging pads, body weight measurement tools and various others. While each of these accessories have their uses it seems that Samsung is finally launching the wireless charging function properly this time around!
While wireless charging is great, there are some awesome wristbands and bands that can measure your heart rate while exercising, as well as a wristband for other functions. An important note is that all the accessories regarding body weight, and body function measurements seems to be connected to the S4 via Bluetooth 4.0.
Another cool aspect of their new line of accessories is a specific case with a shield like window on the front. This allows users to take phone calls and view important information on the S4 as they arrive without having to open up your case! You can keep your S4 covered up and take phone calls this time around.
These are just some of the advanced innovations Samsung has really brought the game with.
It is certain that the Galaxy s4 is the next contender in the smartphone arena. It packs a strong punch by featuring new functions and powerful hardware. This is certainly worth the wait if you are looking to buy your next Galaxy device. Nonetheless, as with all devices this beast will require real world testing with both CPU's and really let its true face be shown. Although some have wished for Samsung to use a metallic aluminum body instead of plastic but that may be simply wishful thinking. We have witnessed the waking of a new super phone that can indeed set a new standard if the cards are played right. As of yet there is still room for improvement and we know the device will launch at the end of April.
As for us here at Cellunlocker.net we can definitely let you know that we can't wait to unlock this beauty. Unlock Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 with Cellunlocker.net!
– Sincerely,
by John Y.


I'm thinking of doing an aero kit of some sort and am not sure what to get.
So give me some opinions and what you all think would look good.
I have a Kouki S14 and don't want anything really flashy but something with a little more style than the factory stuff.

As the political season gets underway, immigration is yet again one of the very top issues of public concern and the Home Secretary has come out fighting.
For the first time she has been specific about the likely numbers in which students from outside the EU are staying on in Britain. Her figure of 96,000 a year has been immediately challenged by David Willets, the Minister of State responsible for Higher Education in the coalition government.
This is not just a matter of some obscure statistics. It is central to the government's efforts to get net migration down to acceptable levels.
It is not in dispute that the official immigration figures have shown for several years that non-EU students are arriving at an average of around 150,000 a year but only about 50,000 a year are recorded as leaving.
The incoming figure must be about right as it is broadly consistent with the number of visas issued (although somewhat lower because some students change their minds or have come for short courses and do not qualify as migrants).
The outgoing figure has, in recent years, been based on a question about the purpose for which the migrant arrived so it is clear that it is departing students who are being counted.
Total non-EU IPS inflow, total non-EU IPS outflow, and non-EU IPS inflow.
David Willets claimed on Radio 4 that "better and more reliable" research by the Home Office between 2007 and 2012 had indicated that just two per cent of students failed to comply with their visa requirements. In fact, this was a Border Agency analysis, carried out in 2010, and the two per cent applied only to university students – not to the colleges where most of the abuse is believed to have occurred.
Indeed, it is significant in this context that visa applications to study at further education colleges have fallen by 85 per cent since 2011. By contrast, foreign students at Russell Group universities are up by 33 per cent since 2010.
We all agree that foreign students are an important source of revenue for higher education, and that their presence is also valuable in a social sense, adding to the mix of the student body.
That explains why there are no limits on the number of genuine students who can come to the UK to study: indeed the number of applications for study at all UK universities has increased by 17 per cent since 2010.
Some who stay on with work permits are also valuable to our economy, although the take up by employers has been remarkably low – only 5,600 in 2014. In the wider context, however, students comprise more than half the non-EU inflow, so they must be properly accounted for.
The key point is that students are counted as they arrive in the UK and are also counted out as they leave. So, if they are indeed returning after their courses, they will have no effect on net migration. There is the rub. At present the evidence suggests otherwise and, if it is correct, non-EU students are a very significant part of net migration.
At present the numbers are based on a passenger survey so they will not be precise. However, exit checks are now coming into effect and will produce results in six to nine months that will show more accurately what is happening.
The Higher Education lobby may well be awaiting them with some anxiety, since many of the arguments for foreign students depend on their returning to their home countries.
Yet, obviously, if large numbers are not returning they are not contributing to the UK's "soft power", as often claimed. They are, instead, adding to our population, and as a result, to the pressures on our public services.
Indeed the student route risks becoming a back door to Britain, if it is not already.
There is also the very important matter of reputation. In 2008 about 50,000 bogus students applied from the Indian sub-continent. In subsequent years some 870 "bogus" colleges have lost their right to sponsor foreign students. It is clear that the student route has been seriously abused.
It is surely in the longer term interest of the sector itself for this to be dealt with rather than for the issue to be ducked.
Some 60 per cent of non EU migrants arrive by the student route. Calls to take them out of the net migration target are entirely misplaced. This would deeply undermine the credibility of the government's efforts to reduce net migration.
Last month public concern about immigration reached its highest level ever. This is absolutely not the time to favour sectoral interests at the expense of further damage to the government's credibility with the British public.
