A Vancouver woman who accused a limo driver of sexual assault six years ago says she was shocked to discover that her alleged attacker is facing new allegations.
Warning: This story contains descriptions of sexual assault allegations that may trigger some survivors.
A Vancouver woman who accused a limo driver of sexual assault six years ago says she was shocked to discover that her alleged attacker is facing similar new allegations.
The victim said she learned of the new allegations last October, when the Times Colonist newspaper reported on the province's civil forfeiture application to seize the limo of Sukhwinder Singh Bassarpuri and his company, Armani Limousines.
Vancouver police seized Bassarpuri's limousine on the grounds it had been used for "unlawful activity," according court documents.
"I just broke down crying," said the woman, whose name CBC News is withholding, in an interview Friday.
"It's almost like bringing you back to that moment. It was very, very tough. Even today, it's tough."
Late last week B.C. Supreme Court posted its decision to approve that civil forfeiture application. Court documents filed with the case included the woman's affidavit expressing her dismay, as well as new details of the two most recent allegations.
The documents show that Bassarpuri now faces sexual assault allegations from a total of three women over the last six years, including one who says he assaulted her while she was having a seizure.
The police affidavit says Bassarpuri is currently the suspect in an active investigation involving an alleged sexual assault, and police have recommended charges against him.
In his response to the seizure application, Bassarpuri denies all the allegations. A police affidavit included in the court documents shows they released him after his arrest on Sept. 8 on a promise to appear in B.C. Provincial Court on Jan. 24.
CBC News tried to contact Bassarpuri through his lawyer. Neither responded.
According to the forfeiture decision, the most recent allegations were in Sept. 8, 2018.
Vancouver police arrested Bassarpuri in a parking lot on Denman Street. Police say they found a "heavily impaired" woman in the back of his limo. She had called her boyfriend to say the driver wouldn't let her leave.
Her boyfriend, who called police and then tracked the woman by GPS on her phone, allegedly found Bassarpuri in the back of the limo with his pants down.
The woman, who was impaired, told police Bassarpuri had been in the back with her. Police determined she was too intoxicated to consent to any sexual activity.
The second most recent allegations stem from June 2017, according to court documents.
The same police report included in the forfeiture decision says a woman told police Bassarpuri drove her home, where some friends had gathered. The woman said Bassarpuri came in with alcohol from his limo.
When she asked guests to leave because she felt an epileptic seizure coming on, Bassarpuri offered to stay and look after her. Instead, she alleges to police, he sexually assaulted her while she was immobilized during the seizure.
The report says the woman, embarrassed and ashamed, didn't report the incident until April 2018.
Those two new allegations came as a shock to the woman CBC News spoke with who accused Bassarpuri of sexual assault six years ago.
In her affidavit, the woman says in July 2013, Bassarpuri — described at the time as 42 years old, approximately 6 feet, 4 inches, about 260-280 pounds, and who went by "Sam" — drove her home to Richmond after she celebrated her birthday with friends.
"I was celebrating my 44th birthday and I was so happy that evening," she told CBC News in an interview. "That's just not how the evening ended."
The ride was a gift offered as part of the evening's festivities, which included dinner at a restaurant in downtown Vancouver and dancing at a club on Granville Street until early in the morning.
A police report included in the forfeiture documents says the woman told officers that she and "Sam" chatted during the drive home, and he offered her a drink.
The woman told police that Bassarpuri got into the back of the vehicle with her, and then removed her clothes and assaulted her, telling her she was a "good girl."
The woman told police she cried while this was happening and told him repeatedly to stop.
The woman reported the incident to police a week later. The forfeiture decision says police recommended charges, but the Crown did not approve them.
The police affidavit also says Bassarpuri has faced past accusations of grabbing a female passenger by the throat after a dispute over a fare, and of threatening to kill another limo driver who reported him to the Passenger Transportation Board — the provincial authority that regulates taxi and limo licences.
According to the decision, Bassarpuri was operating without a chauffeur's permit or a limo licence at the time of his arrest in September.

In order to connect with the Metro Nashville vendor community, GSPC has partnered with Creative Research Solutions, a small and minority-owned business, to create and administer the online Survey of Business Owners. This survey is designed to capture demographic, statistical and anecdotal information regarding Metro Nashville businesses, their operating capacity, and past experience with doing business in and with Metro Nashville. Additionally, the MEGAN Study, which is a part of the online survey of business owners, will be used to help Metro Nashville better understand local minority owned businesses and their barriers to growth.
All Metro Nashville businesses, from unregistered firms and home-based startups to large firms, in all business sectors, are encouraged to participate by providing responses to this online survey of business owners. If your business is a not-for profit or you are a representative of a government agency, please refrain from completing the survey. For more information, visit the "Who We Are" tab. If there are questions about this survey, or you experience technical difficulties, please direct questions to MetroNashvilleStudy@gspclaw.com or Deputy Project Manager, Sterling Johnson at sterling@gspclaw.com.
In addition to the Metro Nashville 2018 Disparity Study, the City has also commissioned the Minority Enterprise Growth and Needs ("MEGAN") study to provide an assessment of the barriers to growth for minority owned businesses within Davidson County.
If you are a Minority Business Owner located within Davidson County (51% or more owned by an ethnic minority group) proceed with completion of the Survey of Business Owners. Once your survey is completed and recorded, your responses will be taken through additional analysis for the MEGAN Study.
The Metro Nashville 2018 Disparity Study will provide opportunity for community feedback and engagement through the gathering and solicitation of qualitative research. Beginning with our Informational meetings, scheduled for September 2018, the 2018 Disparity Study anecdotal process will involve the scheduling and completion of anecdotal interviews, public hearings and focus groups. If you are contacted for an interview, we thank you in advance for your participation.
For those who are not contacted to participate in an interview or focus group, are unavailable due to scheduling conflict, or generally uncomfortable providing public testimony but wish to provide anecdotal evidence on your experiences doing business in and with the City, you may email us anytime with anecdotal comments or questions at MetroNashville@gspclaw.com.

Gump's Set To Reopen In San Francisco
On September 20, 2019	by Matt Farrar	With	0 Comments	- Department Store, Home Décor Retailer, Luxury Home Furnishings
San Francisco-based consumers may have a reason to rejoice, as it's recently been announced that famed retailer Gump's is set to reopen. The luxury department store closed its door in December 2018 and has spent the past several months reinvesting to ensure that it could continue operations. Before closing at this time, the store had remained at its premises on Union Square for a considerable amount of time.
According to reports, Gump's initially had a different storefront, although this burned down in 1906, which led to the retailer re-locating to the premises on Union Square. The brand remained there for over a century before the outlet was forced to close down, much to the dissatisfaction of many consumers.
Throughout its history, the store was known for selling a variety of items, most notably home furnishings and home décor. Alongside this were products such as several designer brands, as well as cultured freshwater pearls, precious gemstones, and jewelry. They also carry top-quality luxury brands including Hermes and Buccellati.
While Gumps achieved a significant amount of success because of these products, it became even more successful thanks to is increasingly iconic status. Much of this was driven by celebrities such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was known to purchase smoking jackets and ship models from the store. Actress Sarah Bernhardt also reportedly purchased a bronze snake for her role as Cleopatra from Gump's.
While the store seemingly came to an end in 2018, a new chapter looks to start with a grand reopening. Though the company was initially owned by the Gump family since its inception in 1861, it has been purchased by a new firm that looks to capitalize on its reputation. Go To This Page to learn more.
The purchase doesn't come out of nowhere, as those purchasing Gump's have been investing in the company for over a decade, making it a natural step to buy the remaining shares of the firm.

I'm not sure I've seen them at a grocery store in the states, but I definitely haven't ever purchased any if I have. They are this vibrant purple color (which comes from an antioxidant), and they are sweeter and a bit more flavorful than regular carrots. For juicing, this means that they even out the bitter taste of kale, and transform the juice into a beautiful purple color.
Put all the ingredients through a juicer (I use and love this one.

Because police units are often scattered over a large area, it is essential that the dispatcher keeps track of where the officers are at all times. Local and state law enforcement units often have strict rules and protocols for using scanners.
Online Police Scanner are also frequently used by journalists, private detectives and hobbyists for tracking crimes, finding leads or in some cases, simply avoiding traffic. For bloggers and journalists with media careers, they can be essential to finding good leads before they happen.
Ordinary citizens often use them simply to find out if highways are congested, weather reports, accident reports, etc. Some counties live broadcast their scanners just for this purpose. At the very least, it will save you 10 minutes on your morning commute, just because you know Highway 9 is out of commission.
Many scanners are also tuned in to the weather, so access is great for snow days or for those rare large storms. If you just need to satisfy your curiosity so you can see what the local cops are up to, then that's a good enough reason.
WHERE CAN I FIND A SCANNER?
In the times before the Internet, scanners were often jury-rigged CB radios private citizens set up in their homes. Now, it's an easy as downloading an app into your smartphone. Cop Radio for the iPhone and iPad is a free app that helps you find police scanners in your area. It doubles as an FM radio too.
Another great app is 5-0 Radio Police Scanner Lite comes with a handy map and a little glossary of local codes so you actually know what the dispatcher and the units are talking about. Emergency Radio Free allows you to listen into not just cop, but even air, fire and even weather. Using an app gives you access to the scanner no matter where you are.
For Android, the Police Scanner Free App gives you access to scanners from all over the world. These apps only work with web or 3G access, so make sure you're connected before you hit go.
Sites like Broadcastify.com stream live police scanner feeds online. All you have to do is click the area you would like to listen to. Sites like Scannermaster.com keep lists of website radios you can tune into, right down to your state and area. You can also check out tunein.com and search for scanners.
If you know the right frequency to tune into, it can be as simple as finding it on your Internet radio. All you need is a little adjusting and you get instant access.
IS IT LEGAL FOR ME TO OWN A SCANNER?
In many parts of the US, possession, using or tampering with a police scanner may be illegal. The legality of owning a scanner (yes, even a free app you downloaded into your iPhone) depends on your local and state laws. Strict penalties accompany breaking these rules and range from moderate to heavy fines to actual jail time.
In states like New York, you need a license to even own or operate one. In other states, it is only illegal to own a police scanner if you intend to use it in the commission of a crime. Some states specifically ban the use of scanners while you are driving or operating a vehicle. In other countries, it is often legal to possess a scanner as long as you do not use them to interfere with telecommunications.
Make sure you check with your local laws before even attempting to download a police scanner.At the very least, make sure you're familiar with what you can and can't do with a scanner. Consult a lawyer if you need to, especially if you intend to use your scanner for long term use. Hopefully, you can use your police scanner without hassle or trouble. It should come in handy once in a while!

Pritzker Prize–winning RCR Arquitectes design "mysterious" Barcelona restaurant
Enigma might not be the most appealing adjective for food or architecture, but the new, inscrutable restaurant concept by Chef Albert Adrià (of El Bulli fame) has received rave reviews for both. Adrià spent three years planning Enigma, which opened earlier this year in Barcelona's Paralel neighborhood, taking just 24 guests a night (reservations only) and requiring a password for entry. During their meals, diners move throughout seven separate spaces that coordinate with the menu's forty courses. Meals can last three to six hours, meaning that diners interact with the space intimately. To render this surreal culinary experience in architecture, RCR Arquitectes and Pau Llimona crafted an ethereal, monochromatic atmosphere. The 7,500-square-foot semi-industrial interior ("basically a car garage," the architects quipped) is located in a nondescript office building. To transform it into an otherworldly gastronomic experience, RCR began painting an abstract cloudscape in watercolor. The painting was so striking that the architects decided to completely cover the space in it, printing the design on Neolith Sintered Stone. Neolith's team resized the image to scale, and then painstakingly mapped out the pattern using cartography technology. The entire floor was installed off-site, and Neolith used a drone to take images of it, ensuring perfect placement. Then the watercolor-printed slabs were cut to fit the floors, ceiling, and walls, sometimes cut to just 3 centimeters wide to fit the layout. The finished slabs were assembled on-site like a puzzle and applied on other surfaces: kitchen worktops, kitchen hoods, and even in the bathrooms. "Engima's aesthetic is best described as a giant futuristic igloo," explained RCR. "The space is meant to transport the diner to a world disconnected from reality." Crumpled metal netting hangs from the ceilings, resembling stratus clouds, while textured glass walls, columns, and partitions evoke glass sheets, and custom fiberglass furnishings rise from the ground like lunar stalagmites. Elements are hidden and revealed as patrons move throughout their meals. The effect is equal parts Kubrick and arctic. "It is a world of textured tones and different colors," said RCR. "The materials are naturally opaque yet magically offer warmth and transparency to the whole." As diners settle into their dreamlike cloud-cocoon, the architecture and food are meant to meld into one complete experience. While Engima is Adrià's dream restaurant, RCR hopes that "[patrons] will perceive a world that's quite far from their daily lives; a place with sensory pleasures where time stops. In other words, each person will live out their own dream."
Trio of Spanish architects named 2017 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureates
For the first time, three individuals have been named as Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureates: Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem, and Ramon Vilalta. All three are from Olot in the Catalonian region of Spain; in 1988 the trio founded their firm RCR Arquitectes. The Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate is typically given to an individual. In awarding a group, the Pritzker Architecture Prize cited the following: "Their intensely collaborative way of working together, where the creative process, commitment to vision and all responsibilities are shared equally, led to the selection of the three individuals for this year's award." Aranda, Pigem, and Vilalta are collectively the 38th winner of the prize and they will take home $100,000 as well as architecture's most prestigious honor. Recent major projects from the firm include the Bell–Lloc Winery (2007, Palamós, Girona, Spain), Soulages Museum (2014, Rodez, France), and the La Lira Theater Public Open Space (2011, Ripoll, Girona, Spain). In a press release, The Pritzker Architecture Prize cited the emotional power of the trio's architecture, as well as its site-specific sensitivity and enduring qualities:
Their work demonstrates an unyielding commitment to place and its narrative, to create spaces that are in discourse with their respective contexts. Harmonizing materiality with transparency, Aranda, Pigem and Vilalta seek connections between the exterior and interior, resulting in emotional and experiential architecture. Mr. Pritzker remarks: "The jury has selected three architects who have been working collaboratively for nearly three decades. Mr. Aranda, Ms. Pigem and Mr. Vilalta have had an impact on the discipline far beyond their immediate area. Their works range from public and private spaces to cultural venues and educational institutions, and their ability to intensely relate the environment specific to each site is a testament to their process and deep integrity." Mr. Aranda, Ms. Pigem and Mr. Vilalta represent the first time that three architects together are honored with the prize. Their intensely collaborative way of working together, where the creative process, commitment to vision and all responsibilities are shared equally, led to the selection of the three individuals for this year's award. As the winners of the 39th edition of the Prize, it is the second time that laureates hail from Spain, following Rafael Moneo who received the award in 1996. In response to being named the 2017 Laureates of the Pritzker Prize, Ms. Pigem states: "It is a great joy and a great responsibility. We are thrilled that this year three professionals, who work closely together in everything we do, are recognized." The locally-based architects evoke universal identity through their creative and extensive use of modern materials including recycled steel and plastic. "They've demonstrated that unity of a material can lend such incredible strength and simplicity to a building," says Glenn Murcutt, Jury Chair. "The collaboration of these three architects produces uncompromising architecture of a poetic level, representing timeless work that reflects great respect for the past, while projecting clarity that is of the present and the future." As such, an early 20th century foundry has become their office, Barberí Laboratory (2007), and many remnants of the original building have remained, blended with highly contrasting, new elements, which were added only where essential.
Last year, Alejandro Aravena won the prize. The Chilean architect, widely accoladed for proposing half houses in his home country that inhabitants completed, was known for his socially-minded approach to architecture. 2015, however, saw the Pritzker judges take a different approach. Instead of choosing a relatively young, innovative architect, Frei Otto from Germany was rewarded for his life's work, notably his tensile structures. Otto died later that year, meanwhile, Aravena, went on to direct the Venice Biennale after receiving his award, capping off a stellar year for him. Other past winners include Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, Peter Zumthor, SANAA, Rem Koolhaas, Richard Meier, Frank Gehry, Richard Rogers and Phillip Johnson who won the first ever Pritzker Prize. The Prize has been running since 1979. The full announcement is available here.

Good Governance: Centre tasks Govt., CSO to partner
Mr Uchenna Arisukwu, Programmes Co-odinator, African Centre for Leadership,Strategy and Development Centre
By Angela Atabo
The African Centre for Leadership,Strategy and Development Centre has urged the Federal and State Governments and the civil society to leverage on the Open Government Partnership(OGP) for good governance.
The Programmes Co-odinator of the Centre, Mr Uchenna Arisukwu, made the call at the opening of a two-day Media Training on Open Government Partnership(OGP) in Lokoja, Kogi.
According to Arisukwu, OGP is an international multi-stakeholder initiative focused on improving transparency ,accountability, citizen participation and also engendered responsiveness to citizens through technology innovation.
He said that Nigeria had in July 2016 joined the OGP as the 70th country, adding that by this, it became committed to making its government open ,transparent and accountable to its citizens.
He said that the idea behind the OGP was about making the people to hold the government accountable and enable them to have the capacity to ask questions.
"In order to ensure active compliance to the OGP commitments, the federal government and non-state actors developed the National Action Plan(NAP).
"Nigeria stands to benefit a great deal when the OGP initiative is fully implemented and adopted by all stakeholders.
"This is because for the OGP to succeed in Nigeria, a deliberate collective effort by government,civil society organisations and the media is needed," Arisukwu said.
He said that the OGP required a high level commitment by all stakeholders to succeed and deliver its dividends to the citizens.
He said that the media training was aimed at familiarising journalists with the process and structure of the OGP and to drive the advocacy of the OGP in government activities.
Mr Abayomi Akinbo, former Coordinator,Open Alliance, in his presentation titled: "History of the OGP",said that the OGP contained four thematic areas and 14 commitments across the thematic areas.
Akinbo said it also had 60 milestone activities and that the criteria for eligibility included fiscal transparency ,access to information, public disclosure of assets and citizen engagement .
He said that though the partnership was voluntary, a state or country could lose greatly in terms of foreign investment and development if it failed to commit to the OGP.
He said that with a good political will to the OGP by making the government open and transparent, Nigeria's economy would be boosted.
Mr Joshua James ,a facilitator from Freedom FM Kaduna, said that co-creation of an economic strategy used in management was necessary in implementing the OGP.
This,James said, would serve as an instrument in achieving reforms.
" OGP is a community of people who identify local problems,proffer local solutions ,collaboratively implement the solution to meet international standards and then evaluate progress made," he said.

Senator says open enrollment creates taxation without representation

DES MOINES — A state senator from southeast Iowa wants to adjust the financing for students who attend school outside the district in which they live.It's called "open enrollment." For 30 years, Iowa parents have been able to enroll their kids in public school districts outside the one in which they live. Senator Tom Greene, a Republican from Burlington, says it's "a real financial issue" for districts that are losing students."I think open enrollment is here to stay," Greene says. "It's not going to change and I understand that, but what I want to do is change the funding mechanism."Greene is proposing that the home district — where the student lives — keep of 12 percent of the "per pupil" spending for each student who "open enrolls" into another district. Green says that means all the state and federal tax dollars would follow a student to the other school, but the taxes paid by local property owners would stay put. Green says sending property tax dollars to another district is "taxation without representation.""The Burlington School District totally surrounds the West Burlington School District. The West Burlington School District has 800 and 900 students; 53 percent of those students reside outside the boundaries of the West Burlington School District," Greene says. "A huge amount of money comes into the West Burlington School District from outside, but those taxpayers have no say in how that money is spent. That's my biggest concern."Before his election to the state senate, Greene was a member of the Burlington School Board and served as its president. read more

How Professional Employer Organizations (PEO's) can help small to medium-sized, and even some larger businesses, stay competitive and lean without getting bogged down in the paperwork.
[sws_pullquote_left]The PEO should become a natural, seamless extension of the company that can streamline the burden of managing employees and risk. [/sws_pullquote_left] There comes a time in the life of every successful business owner, of every budding artist and start-up genius, entrepreneur and proprietor, when their product, their innovation, their next big thing becomes secondary to a pile of crushing paperwork. Passion and vision become clouded by a fog of complex legal and financial obligations that require intense scrutiny, meticulous bookkeeping, and ultimately, a lot of time. Considerations such as payroll, employee benefits, human resources, recruiting, and risk management often require the expertise of full-time specialists trained in those fields.
However, many business owners simply do not have the time or resources to simultaneously and effectively run their businesses while also performing HR duties, minimizing risks, and taking good care of their employees. For those that went into business for themselves, these incredibly crucial, yet complex and time consuming administrative tasks, can be an unwelcome distraction from the real tasks at hand, namely the running of a successful business.
This is where outsourcing administrative responsibilities through a Professional Employer Organization can be highly beneficial. A PEO is a firm that provides a service in which a client firm, the business owner buried in paperwork in this case, can outsource a variety of administrative duties including but limited to payroll, employee benefits, workers' compensation, risk management, and even hiring and training.
The PEO, functioning much like a full-service HR department for hire, takes on these more mundane obligations freeing up the owner to focus on running his or her venture with all necessary attention. In turn, the PEO can often provide quality services to employees, such as workers' compensation and insurance coverage, at lower prices than what is available to the average business owner. All parties benefit.
Relationships with PEO's are close by their very nature since the PEO is, in effect, becoming a business partner and a co-employer. As such, nothing is more important for a growing company seeking employee management solutions than to find the right PEO for them.
That means finding a PEO, also known as an Employee Leasing Company, which provides the right set of services, within the right budget, and more importantly, in a way that works with the culture and expectations of the client company. The PEO should become a natural, seamless extension of the company that can streamline the burden of managing employees and risk. In other words, the PEO and the client company should fit hand-in-glove and be one in purpose and direction. Where the hands directs, the glove protects – in this case through risk management services and HR solutions. Unfortunately, finding the right fit is not always an easy endeavor.
Some basic rules of thumb, pun intended, include checking to see if the PEO in consideration has a demonstrated history of adherence to the industry's professional practice standards. Is the PEO certified? Are they independently accredited by ESAC? Are the PEO's financial statements being independently audited by a CPA? Alternatively, a PEO consulting firm can also help prospective clients determine what they really need and connect with the right PEO's.
Ultimately, most people do not start their own businesses with the hope of being bogged down with handling crucial but mundane administrative tasks such as managing employee insurance coverage and minimizing liability. In fact, most people went into business for themselves because they had a dream, a passion, or a great idea worth pursuing. PEO's can streamline essential administrative duties and, in return, offer CEO's and business owners precious commodities: time and peace of mind.

The Bottom Line: Unfortunate Side Effects of Capitalist Culture
by Arthur McGovern (Nichols College)
also in Hardback $ 50 , Paperback $ 40 , E-book $ 72
This monograph explores the role of culture in modern societies and the side effects that result when that role is distorted. The basic premise of this book is that many of the dominant cultural characteristics of modern life, like the ideologies and values associated with materialism and consumer capitalism, are cultural phenomena with influences that are in many ways problematic and in some ways downright detrimental to our sustained societal well-being.
I argue in this book that the globalized capitalist economic system has become increasingly efficient in terms of scale and scope, but has also become less humane in many regards; less connected to human needs and concerns. Of particular concern is the encroachment of economic interests into areas of human society that traditionally have been free from profit motives, or at least only minimally influenced by them; areas such as scientific research, the justice system, and even family relationships.
I suggest that there is a slow but steady intrusion into these areas of human life that were once considered off-limits to naked economic incentives and calculations. This intrusion puts the idea of America as a free and democratic society increasingly at risk when private economic stakeholders meddle in the political and cultural areas of society in ever more insidious ways to further their own enrichment at the expense of the public. Furthermore, the vast capitalist economic system is in many ways increasingly disconnected or disembedded from the contexts and regulations of traditional social relations as in the past.

Q: Change Windows Store Apps language using poweshell or unattend.xml? I am trying to create a golden image and I can't find any way to set Store Apps language.
These are the settings I want:
Windows Display: English (US)
Apps & Websites: English (US)
Regional Format: Turkish
Keyboard: Turkish
Speech: English(US)
These are the language/region settings in my unattend.xml:
        <InputLocale>tr-TR;en-US</InputLocale>
        <SystemLocale>tr-TR</SystemLocale>
        <UILanguage>en-US</UILanguage>
        <UserLocale>tr-TR</UserLocale>

But after the sysrep, App language setting changes to Turkish, I tried to change UserLocale in unattended.xml to en-US too but got the same result plus region changed to US.
We are going to image a lot of computers and while it's not difficult to go to the Settings app and change those settings, it would be nice to have it sorted out with a script.
Is there any way to achieve this with powershell or a registry tweak?

ABOUT ASHURST New Forest, Hampshire, UK.
Ashurst is a village in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England, which together with Colbury hamlet makes the parish of Ashurst and Colbury. Ashurst is on the A35 road near the Southampton conurbation. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 2,011. The parish is on the edge of the designated New Forest National Park area. The village has a campsite, some shops and a railway station. The parish is bounded to the west by Netley Marsh parish and the Bartley Water, to the north by the A326 road and Totton and Eling, and to the south by Denny Lodge parish in the New Forest.
Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the sinking of RMS Titanic, was living in Ashurt at the time of her death in May 2009 at the age of 97.
PubsThere are three pubs called 'The Happy Cheese', 'The Forest Inn' and 'The New Forest Hotel'. There used to be a pub by the name of the Angry cheese, The Angry Cheese was opposite the Happy cheese, on the other side of the road, but this was destroyed by a fire sometime before 1989. The Forest Inn closed in June 2010 after the business went into liquidation. It reopened on 12 November 2010 under new management following total refurbishment.
Shops and AmenitiesOn the main high street there are five main restaurants, 'The Jumbo House' Chinese and English takeaway, the 'Little Friar' fish and chip shop, the 'Herb Pot Bistro' serving many cuisines, The 'Asha' Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant and takeaway and the 'Lite Bites' sandwich bar. There is also a vet, upholsterer, Post Office, newsagent, two hair salons, a car accessories shop and a car dealer.
Also in Ashurst is a Co-operative food store.
EducationThere are two educational establishments in Ashurst, Foxhills Infant School and Foxhills Junior School. Foxhills Infant School teaches pupils between the ages of four and seven and as of May 2011 had in total 210 pupils on roll. It shares its grounds with Foxhills Junior School, where many of the Infant School pupils progress onto. The Junior School was opened as a middle school in September 1977 when the buildings and facilities of the original Junior School, which had been established ten years previously, were substantially enlarged and extended to provide for the 8-12 middle school age range. In 1993, it became a Junior School once again taking in children aged between 7 and 11. The school had around 332 children on roll in September 2010 and the current Headteacher is Mike Espezel. The majority of pupils come from the neighbouring Foxhills Infants School, Eling Infants School or Hazelwood First School. In its most recent Ofsted inspection report in 2010, it received a Grade 2 (good).
Both schools enjoy a 16 acre site with large playgrounds and lots of resources, including a 6 acre nature reserve with a pond. The reserve, during the last few years, has benefited from a £22K grant from the Millennium Heritage Fund which allowed construction paths and access routes for all year round use. The whole school building area is protected by CCTV and a private patrol company.
Also on the same site is Ashurst Pre-School that currently takes 86 children from two years nine months to five years on roll.
Transport LinksAshurst is well served by transport links, the largest being the Ashurst railway station, run by South West Trains. The line runs from London Waterloo to Weymouth. Ashurst is also on the Bluestar 6 Bus Route (recently replacing the Wilts and Dorset's 56/56A route) that runs from Lymington - Southampton..

This set includes both JPEG and Bitmap TIFF format files. In Photoshop, these work as normal black and white bitmap images. The trick with Bitmap TIFF images in Illustrator is that the white area becomes transparent and you can change the black area to any color. This is great for overlaying the textures on top of your designs.

U.S. Private Eye helps clients figure out if Cuban love is for real. Havana Private Investigator.
The Canadian man fell in love with a beautiful Cuban woman on one of his trips to the island.
He lavished her with gifts and plenty of cash – sending anywhere from $400 to $2,000 a month. One day, she shared exciting news. There was a bundle of joy on the way.
He sent more money, enough for her to buy a home. Something, though, didn't feel quite right.
A California based private investigation agency with sleuths in Cuba confirmed the man's suspicions.
The Cuban woman lived with her real boyfriend – a Cuban man – in the home her Canadian paramour had financed, and the baby she was expecting was actually the Cuban man's, not his.
"There are many people – men but also some women – who travel to Cuba, fall in love, but then they get suspicious," said Fernando Alvarez, a licensed private investigator whose firm, Drakonx Investigations, gets plenty of requests from mainly Canadians, Americans and Spaniards to dig up information about the love interests they met while visiting Cuba who remained on the island.
"When I receive an infidelity case, 90 percent of the time the person [in Cuba] turns out to be cheating," said Alvarez, who is 34 and came from Cuba about 10 years ago. "The reason they have a relationship with the foreigner is [either] immigration – they want to get out of Cuba – or money. They plan to stay in Cuba, but want to have a better life."
Alvarez has sleuths working for him on the island, at their own peril, since private eye work is not legal in Cuba.
The investigators conduct surveillance of suspected cheaters and liars, following them and recording conversations when possible.
Canadians, whose nation has relations with Cuba and who long have accounted for a large chunk of tourists to the island – a million annually – are particularly vulnerable to the love trap.
The problem has reached such a critical point that Canada even launched a campaign in 2013 to warn its citizens about it, according to the Washington Post, which noted that a government study concluded that about 25 percent of the 700 fianceé visas issued each year to Cubans in Havana were based on scams.
The marriage fraud campaign featured a seven minute video posted on the website of the Citizenship and Immigration Canada agency that shared the real life stories of three Canadians who were dumped by foreign spouses – including a Cuban – after they obtained residence in Canada.
Privately run U.S. websites on travel to Cuba often also include warnings about untrue lovers.
Canada tightened immigration laws concerning marriages to foreigners "in part because of the high proportion of sham marriages emanating from Cuba, as well as the Dominican Republic," noted the immigration guidelines website Immigroup.com.
The changes include requiring sponsored spouses to remain in a marriage for two years before they can acquire permanent resident status. If the couple breaks up before that, the migrant faces deportation. Canadians who have sponsored one spouse are prohibited from sponsoring a new one for five years.
Alvarez told Fox News Latino that other clients who seek a Cuba related investigation include Cuban Americans who send relatives money to start a business, and turn to Alvarez to make sure the funds are really being used for that purpose. There are also married people in Canada, the United States or Spain who want to know if a spouse traveling to Cuba for business or tourism is also partaking in extramarital activity.
"There was a Canadian male who went to Cuba, sometimes without his wife," said Alvarez, whose firm was hired by the man's wife. "We watched him and saw that he spent a week in a hotel with two Cuban females. He had a very good week."
Alvarez stresses that desperation among Cubans is at the core of many of the scams.
"It doesn't mean the people who do this are bad," he said. "They're hungry, they might make $20 a month, and they do what they can to survive."
Alvarez cautions people traveling to the Caribbean nation to use common sense.
"There are many people who have met people in Cuba, fallen in love, gotten married and are very happy," he said. "But you have to be very careful – not just in Cuba, but anywhere. Be very careful about requests to send money. If you want to help someone, that's fine, but sending $100 a month is more than enough for a decent life [in Cuba]. Sending $500 means that person lives like a queen or king."
"Use due diligence," he told FNL. "Always check people out."

8 Shows That Won't Be Returning Next Season And Why
Posted on May 22, 2018 Apr 20, 2021
Matthew Arcilla
May is the scariest month for showrunners of various television programs in North America. It's when major advertisers evaluate which shows did well for them or not and the networks decide which shows to renew or cancel. These renewals and cancellations are needed to fine tune the next season that they will present in order to sell advertising time.
But you didn't click this 8List to read about the inside baseball of television programming. You clicked because you want to know what's going on with TV. Well, it's been a bloodbath this month and it looks like many shows, beloved or otherwise, won't be returning for the 2018-2019 season. Over a whopping two dozen are dead now. Here're just eight of them.
8. Life Sentence (CW)
Via The New York Times
In this comedy-drama, Lucy Hale plays a young woman who recovers from cancer after eight years of living like she every day was her last. Even though the CW has the lowest ratings in the business, the network makes big money off shows like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and The Flash by selling them to platforms like Netflix. Unfortunately, the numbers for this show were so low, even the CW chose to ditch it.
7. The Exorcist (FOX)
Via Deadline Hollywood
With hideously low ratings and viewer turn-outs for its first season, it's a miracle this supernatural series got renewed. Even lower numbers in the second season was pretty much the guarantee that this show would get the ax, more so for any show under the umbrella of FOX. Some pundits suggest that a pending merger between Disney and FOX was a contributing factor, but the numbers don't lie.
6. Marvel's Inhumans (ABC)

The laughing stock of the Marvel Studios franchise, Inhumans was openly met with derision from the very first trailers and publicity shots. Despite a massive budget and extensive marketing, the show was a resounding thud with critics and audiences alike. If anything, this is the least surprising cancellation on this list. At the ABC upfront presentation, Jimmy Kimmel quipped, "Somehow we managed to have the only unsuccessful project with 'Marvel' in the title."
5. Designated Survivor (ABC)
Via Screen Rant
Thanks to a revolving door of showrunners, creative leadership was always an issue for Designated Survivor. The show went through five showrunners in three seasons. Also, a problem was Kiefer Sutherland's contract which not only gave him veto power over showrunners but stipulated that production would move to Los Angeles in the third season, ensuring an increase in costs from filming in Toronto.
4. Scorpion (CBS)
Via TV Series Finale
After four seasons, this high concept procedural about an eccentric hacker and his team of problem solving misfits meets an ignoble end thanks to low demo ratings. While the show attracts a respectable amount of eyeballs, it continued to lose viewers from the highly sought 18-49 age demographic. Which is fine as the show's distracting geek speak couldn't conceal its cliché plot lines and boring characters.
3. Last Man on Earth (FOX)
Via Den of Geek
Despite several Emmy Award nominations and generally good reception among critics, this post-apocalyptic comedy is getting the ax. While the show's ratings are not the greatest, they weren't the worst either and it ended its fourth season on a cliffhanger, which will disappoint fans expecting some kind of resolution in a now not happening fifth season.
2. Quantico (ABC)
Pundits have observed that audiences have lost their hunger for political intrigue and deep-web skulduggery, and while Quantico always scored well in international television markets – thanks to the star Priyanka Chopra, who was already a "brand" when she signed up for the show – it never did well in live+same day viewings. Chopra's growing star power was also making her difficult to afford.
1. The Expanse (SyFy)
Via Screener
One of the most well reviewed sci-fi shows on TV, The Expanse's cancellation is said to be due in large part to the nature of the SyFy network's agreement with the production company. While they get first-run rights to the show, the network doesn't see a dime from digital or streaming platforms. With such a bum deal, it's no wonder SyFy didn't want to foot the bill for another season's worth of expensive dresses for Shohreh Aghdashloo.

Instead of Avoiding the Police, She Saved Them
Dec. 5, 2020 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China
(Minghui.org) I ran into Chen Xi, a practitioner I know, who told me about another practitioner called Hao Xia (both names are pseudonyms). Hao used to go to great lengths to avoid the police who harassed her, but recently she decided to adopt a more righteous approach.
In recent years, whenever Hao heard that the police were coming to her home, she would pack her backpack and go to her relative's house to avoid harassment. Her family members all got used to this and it generally just became the way things were.
In May, Hao heard that domestic security personnel and police officers were coming to her home the next day. As usual, she packed a change of clothes and hit the road.
As Hao was leaving, her daughter was on the way over to visit. She saw her mother in the distance carrying a backpack and shouted, "Mom, are you leaving home for a few days to avoid the police? Where are you going this time? My aunt's? Or my sister's?"
Her daughter's words stopped Hao in her tracks. She thought, "What am I doing? Aren't I here to save people? I shouldn't leave. I should save these people." She turned around and went back home with her daughter.
Hao walked in and said to her husband, "Go and buy a big watermelon and some good sweets. I am entertaining guests tomorrow."
She put the watermelon and sweets on the coffee table and waited for the officers to arrive. Early the next morning, seven or eight people from the Domestic Security Division and the police station showed up. They started searching Hao's home as soon as they arrived, looking for material about Falun Gong and the persecution.
The police station chief was the last to enter. He asked her, "What are you doing these days? Do you go out to hand out information about Falun Gong?"
Hao told him that she was just looking for some informational materials. She said, "I want to give you some brochures. I want to offer you a chance to be saved. These days, many people are aware that Falun Dafa saves lives. But you police officers are still running around following the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) orders to do stupid things. Did you ever think about what is going to happen to you when the truth about Falun Gong becomes known to the world?"
While Hao was talking to the chief about Falun Gong, two police officers entered the room and started searching. She talked to them, too. Her daughter and husband were worried and tried to stop her. The chief said, "Don't stop her. Let her talk. I'd like to hear what she has to say."
Hao continued, "The CCP always gets rid of a person as soon as his job is done. Liu Chuanxin, the director of the Beijing Bureau of Public Security who worked himself to the bone for the CCP during the Cultural Revolution, committed suicide after the Cultural Revolution. Seventeen other cadres were secretly taken to Yunnan Province and executed. Their families were only given notice of their death-on-duty."
After inviting everyone to enjoy the watermelon, Hao told the police, "You are all in police uniform now. But when you go home and take off that uniform, you are a son, a husband, and a father. Many of your family members depend on you, and you are responsible for them. Look how much damage you are doing to my family by searching my home, and imagine how it looks to the neighbors. But my husband and children still support my telling you about Falun Gong so that you can be saved."
Her compassionate words touched the hearts of the officers. They picked up the material about Falun Gong and said that they wanted to read it when they got home. Hao helped one of them to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. The chief chatted with Hao for a long time.
After telling me about Hao, Chen Xi commented, "Because Hao Xia held righteous thoughts and got rid of the mentality of fear, she not only stopped avoiding the police but also helped them understand Falun Dafa—and even helped one of them quit the CCP. She stopped them from committing more crimes against Dafa. This incident also helped her neighbors change their misunderstandings about Dafa."
Chen continued, "Hao stopped avoiding the police from that day on and her family members became more supportive of her telling people about Falun Gong and the persecution."
I shared this story with local practitioners who found it inspiring. Some of them did not go out often, but after hearing about Hao, they started going out to clarify the truth and save lives.

The Best Sand for Sandboxes and Sand Tables
To fill the sandbox, choose fine sand that's safe for kids, giving them a place to play, develop their motor skills, and enhance their creativity.

Fill up the sandbox with the right sand, and you can watch your kids build a world that's all their own. The freedom of a sandbox encourages children's creative development and exercises their fine motor skills, improving hand-eye coordination and muscle control. However, not all sand is appropriate for filling a child's sandbox. Sand that's typically used in construction doesn't go through the same cleaning and processing as sandbox sand, so it's coarser and can be harmful to kids.
The best sand for sandbox play should be free of potentially dangerous contaminants, like silica dust, to protect your kids while encouraging them to play outdoors. This list of top products includes only silica-free options to help keep your kids safe while they're playing in the sand.

What to Consider When Choosing the Best Sand for Sandboxes
Before choosing a product to cushion the ground below the swing set or fill the sandbox, be sure to learn about important features like the type of sand, the texture, and the color. With an understanding of these product factors, it becomes easier to decide which option is the best sand for filling a particular sandbox.
There are three types of sand commonly used for filling sandboxes and sand tables, including natural, processed, and kinetic sand.
Natural sand typically comes straight from the beach or the desert. It forms naturally from very small rocks that have eroded. Due to this formation, natural sand is normally coarser than processed or kinetic sand. The manufacturer then washes and filters the sand before packaging.
Processed sand is made in gravel pits and quarries. Thorough washing and filtering ensure that it's clean and safe for kids. However, some products might still contain silica dust, which can be harmful if inhaled in large quantities. It's advisable to avoid these products and stick to silica-free sand for playtime.
Kinetic sand is coated with polydimethylsiloxane, which is a nontoxic, silicone-based organic polymer that goes into soft clay products like Silly Putty. This coating causes the sand to stick together, forming a moldable composition for building in the sand without the need for water. However, kinetic sand typically comes in smaller amounts that are more expensive than either natural or processed sand.
The three types of sand offer different textures.
Natural sand has been formed through years of erosion. While this process is effective, sand produced naturally is often coarser than either processed or kinetic sand. However, the texture of this sand makes it easier to clean off when it's time to go inside.
Processed sand is intentionally made, rather than forming naturally through erosion. Manufacturers can choose the appropriate level of processing for sandbox sand, then wash and rinse the product. When the sand is ready to go, it has a fine, smooth texture that can create buildings, roads, and other innovative additions to the sandbox by adding a little water.
Kinetic sand goes through a series of processes to remove contaminants, clean and filter the sand, and then coat it with polydimethylsiloxane. This coating gives the sand a smooth, almost soft texture that's easy to shape, mold, and even cut without adding water. Kinetic sand is a great option for indoor play, and the coating makes it easier to clean up than other types.
Parents often overlook color because they think of sand as having a classic tan appearance, so they look no further. However, depending on the specific product, several color options might be available, including red, green, blue, yellow, purple, and more.
This is a personal preference for most people, so it's a good idea to check with the kids and see what they prefer. If they can't decide on one color, some kits come with multiple colors.
White sand looks great in the sandbox, and any bugs, feces, or debris will stand out against a white background, making it easy to keep the sand clean. You always can fill a sandbox with tan or white sand, then add a small play set of colored products for molding and building.
This assortment of top products was chosen for the texture, color, type, and overall quality of the sand to help shoppers find the best sand for a sandbox to keep kids safe and happy.
Natural sand for sandboxes, like this package of natural sand from BAHA, is a great option for younger kids because it has a coarser composition that's easy to clean off when it's time to go inside. This sand is also fine enough that children can form it to make small shapes and structures when it's wet, helping to develop their creativity and build their own worlds.
This 20-pound bag of natural sand has been harvested directly from the ocean floor and beaches of the Bahamas. The sand has been verified as nontoxic, dust-free, and silica-free, so parents don't have to worry about their children breathing in harmful particles during playtime.
The versatile Classic Sand and Play Sand is a natural sand that comes packaged in a 40-pound bag. The product works well for both dry and wet play. When the sand is completely dry, it has a fine texture that is difficult to pick up without a shovel, bucket, or other container. When wet, it becomes moldable, allowing kids to build towers, castles, and other structures.
The natural sand has a classic tan color and performs extra duty for landscaping, gardening, and crafts, or as a habitat for reptiles. It's grated and washed to remove contaminants. After washing, the company dries the sand so that mold cannot form. This natural sandbox sand is nontoxic and free of dust particles, keeping kids safe while they play.
Processed sand for sandboxes like this box from Sandtastik is made specifically for kids' play, so with its fine texture, the sand pours freely when it's dry but molds easily when it's wet. The sand ingredient is feldspar rock, which gives it a sparkling white color. The company grates and washes the silica-free product to remove any potential contaminants before packing the sand into the sealed container.
The package contains 25 pounds of sand, suitable for use in sandboxes or indoor sand tables, so kids can enjoy playing with sand both inside and outside. The white color contrasts with leaves, grass, bugs, and other debris that can land in the sandbox, so it cleans up easily for safe play.
Best Kinetic
Kinetic Sand, 3.25lbs Beach Sand for Squishing
Bring the fun of a sandbox into the home with this Kinetic Sand Store 3.25-pound package of kinetic sand that has a classic tan color and a polydimethylsiloxane coating. The coating causes the sand to stick to itself instead of to the table, floor, or kids, so cleanup is a bit easier. With the almost sticky texture, the sand won't need added water for kids to build castles, structures, and other sculptures or sand art.
The grains of this sand are larger than the grains of processed or natural sand, and the coating lets the sand stick to itself so that this kinetic sand achieves the same moldability as natural sand. Due to the larger grain size and the polydimethylsiloxane coating, the sand doesn't produce dust during play, making it safer and more fun for children who might have breathing problems or sensitivities to dust in the air.
Best With Play Set
Kinetic Sand, Construction Site Sandbox Playset
This portable Kinetic Sand Store play set comes with its own sandbox, which doubles as a carrying case for the sand and accessories. The set includes 2 pounds of kinetic sand in a classic tan color and with a polydimethylsiloxane coating. This coating gives it a soft texture that sticks to itself, so kids can easily create sand art, build castles, or play with the toys and molds in the set.
Accessories include a crane with a wrecking ball, a sand bucket, and a dump truck with brick molds, so kids can create little bricks for building. It's an innovative, fun product for indoor or outdoor use, and children can mold the sand without adding water, reducing the risk of creating a big mess inside the home or on the patio.
Best Color Variety
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Play Sand Combo Pack
With this National Geographic variety pack of kinetic play sand, kids can create multicolored sand art, build unique landscapes, or construct towers. The package comes with 6 pounds of kinetic sand, including 2 pounds each of purple, blue, and tan varieties. It also has six molds to help kids form castles, pyramids, and more without needing to add water.
The sand's smooth texture feels soft to the touch, and kids can keep the three colors separate or combine them to create fun sculptures or patterns. The sand is nontoxic and has a polydimethylsiloxane coating that causes it to stick to itself. This coating doesn't dry out over time, so kids don't have to worry about packing it away in a sealed bag when they are done playing.
FAQs About Sandbox Sand
For those still unsure of the best type or quantity of sand for a sandbox or sand table, continue reading to explore some common questions.
Q. What is the best type of sand for a sandbox?
The best type of sand for a sandbox has a nontoxic and silica-free mix, ensuring that kids are safe while they play. If the sand is safe, it's best to choose a product that has the most appealing features for the children, like assorted colors or the moldable, mess-free composition of kinetic sand.
Q. How much sand do I need for my sandbox?
To determine the volume of sand for the sandbox, follow these simple steps:
Measure the length and width of the sandbox. For circular sandboxes, measure the diameter.
Decide how deep you want the sand to go. Typically, half a foot to 1 foot is plenty for most kids.
Use the length, width, and height of the sandbox to calculate the volume (V = L x W x H). Alternatively, find the volume of a circular sandbox by using this formula V = πr2h, where π is equal to 3.14, r is the radius (or half of the diameter), and h refers to the ideal height or depth of the sand.
For example, if a sandbox measures 4 feet by 4 feet and you want half a foot of sand for the kids to play in, then the total volume you would need to fill the sandbox is 8 cubic feet of sand. A circular sandbox with a diameter of 4 feet and an ideal sand depth of half a foot needs about 6.3 cubic feet of product.
Q. How often should I change the sand in a sandbox?
Change the sand in the sandbox once every 1 to 2 years, depending on how frequently kids use the sandbox. It's a good idea to store at least one bag of sand (plus all the toys and accessories) in a deck box or garage to top off the sandbox when necessary.
Q. How do I maintain sand in a sandbox?
Properly maintain the sand by regularly raking it to remove any debris, and check for bugs or animal feces. Keep the sandbox covered whenever possible, but make sure to allow wet sand to dry properly before covering. Otherwise, the sand can begin to grow mold. Also, it's advisable to replace the sand about once every 1 to 2 years.
