Rubio Supports Act To Allow House To See Iran Deal

WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R – FL), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Select Committee on Intelligence, delivered remarks on the floor of the U.S. Senate today urging passage of the "Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015."
"They haven't said this once in passing. The supreme leader of Iran has said this on hundreds of occasions. In fact, every Friday in Iran at government-sanctioned religious events, they chant 'death to America' and 'death to Israel.'
"And if there is one lesson of history, it's that when a leader or a nation repeatedly says, 'We are going to kill you,' you should take that seriously. And when the nation that says 'We are going to kill you' is using its governmental money to sponsor terrorism, you should take that even more seriously. And when the nation that's going out saying 'We're going to kill you and wipe you off the face of the Earth' is reprocessing plutonium or enriching uranium, you have a right to be extremely scared.
"The world understood this ten years ago, eight years ago, and so it imposed UN Security Council sanctions on Iran, international sanctions. They were not easy to put together. A lot of those countries in Europe have companies in those countries that were dying to do business in Iran. They didn't want these sanctions, but they did them, they were in place.
Senate Gives Congress Power To Review Iran Deal
"And then about a year and a half or two [ago], the president decided it is time to try to open up to Iran and see if we can work a deal out with them. And, look, in normal circumstances there's nothing wrong with that. Right? Two countries who have a disagreement on some issue, you can work things out. There is a place for diplomacy in the world.
"The problem is that the issue we have with Iran is not based on a grievance. They're not mad that we did something and so that's why they're acquiring a nuclear weapon, and if only we stopped doing what it is that aggrieved them, it would go away. This is not a grievance-based problem.
"This is an ideological problem because if you read the founding documents of the Islamic Republic, it doesn't describe the supreme leader as the leader of Iran. Iran happens to be the country they operate from. It describes him as the supreme leader of all Muslims in the world.
"And that is why they believe that it is their goal – it is their mandate, it is their calling to export their revolution to every corner of the planet, but beginning in the Middle East. And a nuclear weapon capability would give them leverage in carrying out that goal that they have, and in their mind nothing would be more glorious than the destruction of the Jewish state.
"So the president enters these negotiations and it has been a process of constant appeasement. Moment after moment, we went from saying no enriching and reprocessing to you can enrich and reprocess at 5 percent to you can enrich up to 20 percent for research purposes. We went from saying no enrichment ever to saying in ten or 15 years all bets are off.
"And there are still items in the negotiation that are not clear. You know, the White House put out a fact sheet. They put out a piece of paper and they said, 'This is what we agreed to.' And Iran put out a piece of paper just like it, except it sounded like a totally different deal.
"For example, the U.S. fact sheet said that sanctions on Iran would not come off until Iran complied. But Iran's fact sheet said: no, no, sanctions come off immediately.
"And now when you press the White House on it, they refuse to say that, in fact, it will be phased, not immediate. That's why I filed an amendment.
"Even though I think that the president's deal, as outlined in the fact sheet, was not good enough, I filed an amendment to at least hold them to that. And the amendment to this bill read very simply, it just said that whatever deal the president crafts has to reflect the fact sheet that he provided the Senate. But we couldn't get a vote on it.
"The other amendment I filed is that any deal with Iran should be conditioned on Iran recognizing Israel's right to exist. And here's why that was so important. That was so important because this is not just about the nuclear program. The deal the president is trying to sign is about removing sanctions, meaning money is now going to flow back into the Iranian government's coffers. What are they going to do with this money? Are they going to build roads, hospitals? Are they going to donate to charity? No. Are they going to buy food and medicine for people that are hurting around the world, the hundreds of thousands that have been displaced by Assad, their puppet? No. They're going to use that money to sponsor terrorism, and the prime target of the terrorism they sponsor is the state of Israel. We couldn't get a vote on that amendment either. Apparently there are senators terrified of voting against that amendment, so they'd rather not have a vote at all.
"So I am deeply disappointed by the direction this debate has taken, because I felt and I understand that this deal was carefully crafted. I am on the committee that passed it.
"But I also understand that every member of the Senate has a right to be heard on this debate. And unfortunately, only a couple of amendments were allowed to be voted on, and no one else had an opportunity to get their amendments voted on – amendments that I thought would have made this bill much more meaningful.
"But now we've reached this point where the majority leader has filed cloture on the bill because it's time to move on to these other issues, and I respect that, and we have to make a decision.
"And the decision is not whether we're going to pass the bill we want or nothing at all. The decision is, are we better off as a country with this bill or with no bill? If we don't pass a bill, the Senate can still weigh in on the Iranian deal. But the Iranian deal kicks in immediately. And unless – and until the Senate acts, the sanctions will be off, at least the U.S. sanctions will be off. There's also no guarantee that the White House will even show us the agreement if we don't pass a bill.
"If we pass a bill, it delays the sanctions being lifted for a period of time. It requires the White House to submit the deal to us so we can review it, and ultimately it calls for a vote, up or down, on approving the deal or not. It actually requires that that vote will have to happen, and there can't be any procedural process to impede it, for the most part.
"So at the end of the day, while this bill does not contain the amendments – we didn't even get a vote on the amendments that we wanted, I never… it doesn't contain the different aspects that I thought it would do to make it stronger – if left to the choice that we have now, I don't think there's any doubt that we're in a better position if this bill passes. Because at a minimum, at least it creates a process whereby the American people through their elected representatives can debate an issue of extraordinary importance.
"If I am troubled by anything it's that, while this issue gets a lot of coverage, I'm not sure the coverage accurately reflects what a critical moment this is.
"I said at the outset that I think a bad deal almost guarantees war and here's why. Because the state of Israel, such an important allay to the United States, they are not thousands of miles away from Iran. They hear… Put yourself in their position for a moment. The small country with a small population, nine miles wide at its narrowest point, with a neighbor to the north that openly and repeatedly says it wants to destroy you and on the verge of acquiring a nuclear capability. And Israel feels like their very existence is being threatened, and faced with that, Israel may very well take military action on their own to protect themselves.
"I think a bad deal exponentially increases the likelihood of that happening. I also think you look at the other nations of the region, because Iran is a Shia country, a Shia-Persian country, but its Sunni-Arab neighbors aren't big fans of the Shia branch of Islam.
"So for example, Saudi Arabia, an incredibly wealthy country, they have already said, 'Whatever Iran gets, we're going to get. If Iran gets the right to enrich and reprocess, we will enrich and reprocess. If Iran builds a weapon, we will build a weapon.' And so it creates the very real specter that we're going to have an arms race, a nuclear arms race, in the Middle East. You're talking about a region of the world that has been unstable for 3,800 years."
"You talk about a region of the world that could have a nuclear arms race, one of the most unstable regions on the planet. And so I hope we're going to get a good deal. I'm not hopeful that we will, but I think we're better off if we have this process in place. And so I hope this bill passes here today so at least we'll have a chance to weigh in on an issue of critical importance."

A Summer of Tech
Alex Burgos
Today my oldest school-age daughter returned to school, and that means summer is officially over.
But what a memorable summer it was. And one thing that was evident throughout it is the ever-increasing and impactful role technological innovations play in our lives.
For instance, just last week, my family moved into our new home. As we have been unpacking boxes, including cooking and dining supplies, food delivery and takeout have been the norm. Enter DoorDash and Postmates, which have been reliable go-tos for many of our family dinners.
With household projects that need to get done as quickly and effectively as possible at a reasonable price, we've turned to Thumbtack to post bids and let marketplace competition between independent contractors take it from there.
Technology has made its presence felt in many other ways. After attending a friend's bachelor party earlier this summer, I used PayPal to pay friends for covering some upfront costs. Not that long ago, I would have had to bring a checkbook or run to an ATM.
A few weeks ago, Instacart announced its arrival in Gainesville, Florida, where my beloved alma mater, the University of Florida, is located. It made me think how much easier life would have been for me as a car-less undergrad living in the dorms – if only innovative companies like Instacart had been around back then.
When we weren't driving around in our own cars this summer, we turned to Uber and Lyft for transportation. These ride-sharing companies are changing the future of transportation. But in the case of one troubled man in St. Petersburg, Florida, on the verge of committing suicide, one Uber driver saved his life.
We traveled a lot this summer, particularly out of Reagan National Airport's terminal B where, once you pass security, you'll find Microsoft ads touting their cloud computing technology's ability to help people improve their golf games. More recently, as HBO's "Hard Knocks" has aired, you can see how tech and football have converged with the omnipresence of the Microsoft Surface tablet on Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Dirk Koetter's desk.
One of those places we flew to for vacation was Florida's beaches, where Philips has developed sea turtle-friendly lighting that helps protect the state's turtles.
Then of course, no summer rundown would be complete without the technologies that have become so ubiquitous and used so routinely, that we don't think much about it. My family and I used our Visa card to pay for our "priceless" summer experiences, and their technological innovation is on the forefront of protecting customer data against hackers and fraudsters.
Our summer memories have been routinely uploaded and shared on Facebook, where my oldest daughter and I have established a tradition of watching clips of all the amazing acts (Mandy Harvey and Darci Lynne are our favorites) on NBC's "America's Got Talent." Google has helped us find the best things to do in the first place. And through it all, my Apple iPhone (which celebrated its 10th anniversary this summer) has been indispensable.
Lastly, since it's back to school today, I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge Amazon for helping us get our school supplies in order, in addition to everything else we've ordered via Prime throughout the summer – particularly for newborn baby needs.
It's been a good summer with the people I love, facilitated by the technologies that have changed our lives. To keep America as the world's preeminent innovator and job creator in the twenty-first century economy, we need the right policies in place. That's what TechNet will continue to fight for this fall.

2008 to be extended by one second: "Those eager to see 2008 come to a close will have to wait a second longer. A single leap second will be added at the end of the year to accommodate a subtle slow-down in the Earth's rotation.

Socialisation is one of the most important roles of a new puppy owner and it is a unique window of time that will have an impact on the puppy for life. The early stages in a dog's life are critical for his development into a happy, safe, and loving pet. Fears and aversions developed during puppyhood can be altered, but never completely obliterated, in adulthood. Socialisation is the process of becoming familiar with all kinds of animals, people, places, and things; as well as learning how to behave in society. To be beneficial, these experiences need to be enjoyable and fun. All puppies need socialisation regardless of breed or temperament. This should not be taken for granted, even breeds that have a very good reputation for loving people such as the Golden Retriever, need to be thoroughly socialised as puppies. Puppies that are well socialised are more confident adults, that reach their full potential.
The nature of socialisation and training changes has puppies develop. The following chart provides general guidelines for the stages of development. Depending on breed and individual dog, stages may be longer or shorter and may take place earlier or later.
Eyes cosed and unable to hear.
Crawl forward and vocalise to seek mother.
EEG when wake identical to when sleeping.
At this age, puppies benfit form gentle daily handling by humans. Respect the dam's protective maternal instinct.
Now is a good time to begin to expose puppies to safe, novel objects.
Are able to use all their senses fully.
Are learning at an extremely fast rate.
Because this time is full of sensory development, the environment should remain relatively stanle so as not to overload the puppies.
Pups can be introudced to carpet, wood, tile, linileum, etc for short intervals.
Learn specific behaviour from dam and littermates, s uch as facial expressions, body postures mouthing, chasing, barking, soliciting play and status-seeking behaviours.
Begin showing appearsement gestures to dam when disciplined.
Learn bite inhibition form playing with littermates.
Begin to understand socail hiearchy thorough interaction with dam and littermates.
Begin short positive reinforcement training sessions.
Alloe plenty of time for pups and mothr to be together.
Introduce to crate: Keep an open crate in the whelping box to facilitate in crate training later on.
Provide aural stimuli through radio; continue handling adn speaking to pups.
Introduce pups to short car rides.
Go through a fearful stage between 8 and 11 weeks. Anything that traumatizes at this stage could potentially scare them for the rest of their lives.
Have the brain waves of an adult dog.
Despite thier fear period, they should be exposed to many new objects, situations, peole and dogs carefully and with plenty of positive reinforcemtent. Dr Ian Dunbar states that a puppy should have met 100 people by 12 weeks of age.
Continue to provide a structured environment for puppies.
Continue ot teach your puppy basic training signals.
Continue to condition your puppy to accept handling.
May resist coming when called.
Keep pup on lead to prevent from wandering off.
Redirect chewing onto appropriate items.
Keep inappropropriate items out of reach.
May become fearful of new or even familiar situations.
Reach sexual maturity, males begin lifting leg and females go into first heat.
Earlier socialisation should help this period pass smoothly.
Do not punish a fearful pup; instead help him overcome his fears through classical conditioning.
Make new experiences fun and rewarding by playing games and offering treats before th pup has a chance to become fearful.
Continue to grow to full size.
Behaviour issues: not addressed will become apparent, if not already so. These include: resource guarding, over reactvity towards people or other dogs.
continue to build associations with objects, people and situations for the rest of their life.
Continue to socialise with as many kinds fo people and dogs for the rest of the dog's life.
The dog will, at any age, always need enrichment in the form of human and canine interaction, toys and exercise.
grabbing, forcibly restraining, pushing, pulling, squishing and squashing. Training session should be fun and frequent but very short — just a minute or two at a time. Even though early socialisation is critical, in reality, the period of socialisation never ends. When socialisation continues, dogs become even more socialised, whereas when socialisation is discontinued (e.g., when dogs are isolated, or not walked regularly), dogs gradually de-socialise until eventually they may become fearful, asocial, or even antisocial.


Some have buckets of it pouring out of their ears, while others are sorely lacking. It can be futile trying to put your finger on what defines someone who's chilled out, but you know it when you see it, or hear it.
With a sound that mixes blues, jazz and pop rock from the late 70's and 80's, each of the tracks have that certain "it" factor that makes it hard to stop listening to.
With a touch of Tom Petty mixed with Steely Dan, it's perfect dad rock that would be welcome on any classic rock station in the country.
Most of the songs will have your head bobbing, fingers snapping and grooving to the melody. It's a perfect album to put on after a stressful day at work, school or any other tense situation life throws at you. Put on this album and let it play from start to finish and you'll have a much more calm energy surrounding you.
The Sundogs are Stan Snow and Jed Moffitt along with a collection of studio musicians that offer background support.
Snow's guitar playing has been influenced by Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, Michael Hedges, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Pat Metheny, Steve Morse, Lee Ritenour, Steve Howe, Carlos Santana, Chuck Berry, BB King and Eric Clapton.
While Moffitt's keyboard playing has been influenced by Bill Evans, Bruce Hornsby, Keith Jarrett, McCoy Tyner, Oscar Peterson, Lyle Mays, Bud Powell, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Larry Goldings, Benmont Tench and Roy Bittan.
What seals the album as a solid piece of art above just the musical magic is the attention to detail. For instance on the song "Johnny" they pipe in helicopter and siren sounds to match the lyrics mentioning them without distracting from the flow of the song.
They're also talented songwriters as each track was written and produced by both of them. It's a strong album and one that you'll be giving multiple listens, especially if you're a fan of similar artists/bands as Tom Petty, Steely Dan, Rolling Stones, Pete Townshend, Paul Simon, and Mark Knopfler.
For more on The Sundogs, check out their Website, Facebook, Spotify and Youtube Channel pages.

===================
GitHub Repositories
===================

Review Board supports posting and reviewing code on :rbintegration:`GitHub
<github>` repositories, using public or private personal repositories or
organization-owned repositories.

Existing commits in a repository can be browsed and put up for review. Pull
requests, however, are not currently supported (though planned for a future
release).

To simplify posting changes to Review Board, we recommend using RBTools_. This
ensures that the diffs are in the correct format, and makes managing review
requests much easier. See :ref:`Using RBTools with Git <rbt-post-git>` for
more information.

.. _RBTools: https://www.reviewboard.org/downloads/rbtools/

Adding the Repository
=====================

To configure a GitHub repository, first proceed to :ref:`add the repository
<adding-repositories>` and select :guilabel:`GitHub` from the
:guilabel:`Hosting type` field.

Step 1: Link Your GitHub Account
--------------------------------

You will need to link an account on GitHub to Review Board, so that Review
Board can access content from the repository. If you've already linked an
account with sufficient access to the repository, you can use that instead.

If you're linking for the first time, you'll need to make sure you have your
username and password handy.

Fill out the following fields:

:guilabel:`Account username`:
    The username used to log into your GitHub account. This is *not* your
    e-mail address.

:guilabel:`Account password`:
    The password used to log into your GitHub account.

    The password is *not* stored! Review Board will use these credentials to
    fetch an access token with read-only permissions to repositories. This
    token is stored for future use, and can be revoked on GitHub at any time.

If you have two-factor authentication enabled, you'll be asked to provide your
token when you first save the repository.

The account will be linked when the repository is saved. If there are errors
authenticating the user or retrieving an access token, you will be prompted to
fix them.

Step 2: Provide Repository Information
--------------------------------------

Next, you'll need to fill out the following fields:

:guilabel:`Repository plan`:
    This specifies the type of the repository, whether it's public/private or
    personal/team. You'll have one of the following choices:

    * **Public:** The repository is owned by the linked user account, and is
      publicly-accessible to any user.

    * **Public Organization:** The repository is owned by an organization, and
      is publicly accessible to any user.

    * **Private:** The repository is owned by the linked user account, and is
      accessible only to the linked user and other GitHub users who were
      granted permission.

    * **Private Organization:** The repository is owned by an organization,
      and is accessible only to the linked user and other GitHub users who
      were granted permission.

    .. note::

       The public/private options have no bearing on who can access review
       requests on this repository in Review Board. See
       :ref:`repository-hosting-github-access-control`.

:guilabel:`Organization name`:
    If you're using an organization-based plan, you will need to specify the
    organization name in the :guilabel:`Organization name` field. This is the
    same value you would find in the URL. For example, if your repository was
    ``https://github.com/myorg/myrepo/``, your organization name would be
    ``myorg``.

:guilabel:`Repository name`:
    You'll then need to specify the name of your repository in the
    :guilabel:`Repository name` field. This is the same value you would find
    in the URL. In the above example, your repository name would be
    ``myrepo``.

Step 3: Choose a Bug Tracker
----------------------------

If you're using the issue tracking feature on this repository, you can simply
check the :guilabel:`Use hosting service's bug tracker` checkbox. All bug IDs
will link to the appropriate issues for your repository.

If you're using a separate bug tracker, or a separate repository on GitHub,
you can leave the checkbox unchecked and choose a bug tracker from the list.

:ref:`Learn more about bug tracker configuration <repository-bug-tracker>`.

.. _repository-hosting-github-access-control:

Step 4: Manage Access Control
-----------------------------

You can now choose who should have access to this repository (both posting
against it and viewing review requests posted against it). This is separate
from GitHub's own access controls.

:ref:`Learn more about access control <repository-access-control>`.

Step 5: Save the Repository
---------------------------

At this point, you should be able to save the repository. If saving succeeds,
you're done! You can start posting changes for review.

.. note::

   If you're using RBCommons_ or have a custom :ref:`GitHub OAuth application
   <repository-hosting-github-oauth-app>` for your Review Board installation,
   you may see an error that the repository could not be found. This can
   happen if your GitHub organization requires access to be granted per-app,
   which is the default for modern organizations.

   See :ref:`repository-hosting-github-grant-org-access` to fix this, and then
   save the repository again.

.. _RBCommons: https://rbcommons.com/

Configuring Repository Hooks
============================

Review Board can close review requests automatically when pushing commits to
GitHub. This is done by configuring a WebHook and pointing it to your
Review Board server, and then referencing the review request in your commit
message (which is done for you when using :ref:`rbt land <rbt-land>`).

Let's go over how to set this up.

.. note::

   Your Review Board server will need to be accessible over the Internet for
   this to work. GitHub will be performing HTTP/HTTPS requests to your server
   to notify Review Board of new commits.

Add the WebHook
---------------

On Review Board, view the list of repositories and locate the repository you
want to configure hooks for. Beside the repository name, you'll see a
:guilabel:`Hooks` link. Click that and you'll see instructions for configuring
the hook.

.. image:: images/github/hooks.png

The instructions will contain a link taking you to the page on GitHub for
adding a new WebHook, along with all the information you need in order to add
the hook. Simply follow the instructions and you'll be ready to go.

Tag Your Commit Messages
------------------------

To close a review request for a given commit, you'll need to add some special
text to your commit message that references the review request. This can be in
the form of :samp:`Reviewed at {review_request_url}` or :samp:`Review request
#{id}`. This must be on its own line, but can appear anywhere in the commit
message.

For example:

.. code-block:: text

    Reviewed at https://reviewboard.example.com/r/123/

Or:

.. code-block:: text

    Review request #123

If you use :ref:`rbt land <rbt-land>`, this will be automatically added for
you when landing your changes.

.. _repository-hosting-github-oauth-app:

Registering Custom GitHub OAuth Apps
====================================

If you're running a large Review Board server with a lot of activity on a few
particular repositories (hundreds or thousands of review requests posted per
hour), you may want to register a custom GitHub OAuth app for your Review
Board server.

.. note::

   This is *advanced usage* and is *completely optional!* Most servers do not
   need this. You may need to redo your OAuth app settings in a future Review
   Board release as well.

   You would only want a custom app if you're hitting errors saying you've
   gone over your GitHub API access limit for the hour.

To register an application, visit the `Register a new OAuth application`_
page and specify:

* **Application name:** ``Review Board for <your company>``
* **Homepage URL:** Your Review Board server's URL.
* **Authorization callback URL:**
  :samp:`https://{reviewboard-server}/accounts/github_oauth/callback/`

Click :guilabel:`Register application`. You will then see two new sets of
credentials: :guilabel:`Clent ID` and :guilabel:`Client Secret`. You'll need
to put these in your Review Board install's :file:`conf/settings_local.py`.
This should look like:

.. code-block:: python

   GITHUB_CLIENT_ID = '<Client ID value>'
   GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET = '<Client Secret value>'

Restart Review Board and then re-link any accounts being used by repositories.

.. _Register a new OAuth application:
   https://github.com/settings/applications/new

.. _repository-hosting-github-grant-org-access:

Granting Organization Access
============================

In order to keep your code secure, GitHub organizations are often set to
require that third-party applications, like RBCommons_ or :ref:`custom GitHub
OAuth applications <repository-hosting-github-oauth-app>`, have their access
explicitly granted by an organization administrator. This is the case by
default with newer organizations, and many older ones have this on as well.

If you've tried to link one of your GitHub organization's repositories to
RBCommons or to a server with a custom GitHub OAuth application defined, you
may have received an error message stating that the repository could not be
found. This may simply mean that the server doesn't yet have the permission to
access it.

In this guide, we'll help grant access.

Step 1: Verify Your Access Settings
-----------------------------------

You'll need to check whether your organization restricts new third-party
applications.

Have a GitHub organization administrator navigate to your organization page
(:samp:`https://gthub.com/{orgname}`) using their admin account. Click
:guilabel:`Settings` and then click :guilabel:`Third-party access` on the
left.

.. image:: images/github/github-access-policy-nav.png

From here, you'll be able to see the current access policy and any approved
applications.

If :guilabel:`Policy` says :guilabel:`Access restricted`, then continue on with
this guide.

However, if it says :guilabel:`No restrictions`, then you don't need to worry
about this guide, and should double-check the information you entered into the
repository form instead (if it gave you an error about not being able to find
your repository).

.. image:: images/github/github-access-policy-status.png

Keep this page handy. You'll need to come back to it.

Step 2: Request or Grant Access
-------------------------------

Make sure you're logged in as the user whose account was linked to Review
Board when configuring the repository. Go to your settings page (click your
avatar in the top-right of any page on GitHub, and then click
:guilabel:`Settings`). Then click :guilabel:`Applications` on the left.

.. image:: images/github/github-user-settings.png

"RBCommons" (or the name of your custom application) should appear in this
list under :guilabel:`Authorized Applications`. Click on it.

.. image:: images/github/github-authorized-apps-list.png

From here, you'll see a list of organizations you belong to that have access
to your application, and any that need access to be granted. Your organization
should appear in this list along with a button for requesting or granting
access.

If you're an organization admin...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Click :guilabel:`Grant access` from here. You're done! Go back and save your
repository again, and you should be all set up.

.. image:: images/github/github-grant-access.png

If you're not an organization admin...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Click :guilabel:`Request access` and follow the instructions. You'll then need
to continue with step 3.

.. image:: images/github/github-request-access.png

Step 3: Approve Requested Access
--------------------------------

If you clicked :guilabel:`Request access` above, you'll now need an
organization admin to approve it (by clicking :guilabel:`Grant Access` above).
The administrator from Step 1 should reload the page they were on in that
step. RBCommons (or your custom application) should now be in the list. Simply
approve the application from there, and you should be good to go.

Then, simply save the repository again. You're done!

Hardanger (disambiguation)
Hardanger embroidery or "Hardangersøm" is a form of embroidery traditionally worked with white thread on white even-weave cloth, using counted thread and drawn thread work techniques. It is sometimes called whitework embroidery.
The exact origins of Hardanger embroidery are not known but it is thought to have its beginnings in ancient Persia and Asia. During the Renaissance this early form of embroidery spread to Italy where it evolved into Italian Reticella and Venetian lacework. By 1700 variations of this type of embroidery had spread to northern Europe where it developed further into Danish and Dutch Hedebo, Scottish Ayrshire work and Ruskin lacework as well as Norwegian Drawn Work, as it was then called.
In the period between 1650-1850 Hardangersom (meaning: work from Hardanger area) flourished in Norway. Flax was grown, carded, spun and woven into white fabric and thread which was used to make and decorate traditional Norwegian costume items called bunads (national costumes) as well as other items of clothing and household linens such as mats, curtains and bedspreads.

Hardanger is a traditional district in the western part of Norway, dominated by the Hardangerfjord and its inner branches of the Sørfjorden and Eidfjorden. It consists of the municipalities of Odda, Ullensvang, Eidfjord, Ulvik, Granvin, Kvam, and Jondal, and is located inside the county of Hordaland.
In the early Viking Age, before Harald Fairhair, Hardanger was a petty kingdom with its capital at Kinsarvik.
The area is dominated by the vast Hardangervidda plateau in the east and the large Folgefonna glacier on the central Folgefonna peninsula.
The Old Norse form of the name was Harðangr. The first element could be harðr meaning "hard" (referring to wind and weather), or it could be referring to the Charudes, a Germanic tribe from Hardsyssel, Denmark. The last element is angr "tight fjord" (the name originally belonged to the fjord, now called Hardangerfjord).
The region is one of Norway's most important sources of fruit and constitutes approximately 40% of the national fruit production, including apple, plum, pear, cherry and redcurrant. Apples have been cultivated in Hardanger since the 14th century, the agricultural experience brought by English monks who first arrived at Lyse Abbey in 1146. The climate, soil and seasonal conditions of the region are believed to be particularly beneficial to the growth of apples. In 2005, juice produced from Hardanger apples became Norway's third product to be granted protection of origin name, with applications pending for other regional produce.

Two weeks ago I added a new twist to our wine consumption: blind tasting. Now, I wish I had the means to taste wines in blind flights regularly, but I don't really have the time or supply of wine to do so. My tasting regiment is like that of most people; I'll open a bottle of for dinner and have a glass or two with food and maybe another after dinner. I enjoy experiencing how wines can change over the course a few hours and how they may complement food.
Last week I decided to change it up a bit by having my wife go grab a bottle and pour it into a decanter without me knowing what it was. I still have to try to get over the bias of guessing based on knowing what wines are in the cellar, but it has been a fun modification to having wine with dinner. Since I missed last week's post, there is a variety of notes today.
Crios 2014 Malbec (13.9% abv, Sample $15) This was the first wine to get the new blind treatment. Both the purple color and the fruity - slightly grapey - nose suggested this was a very young wine. It had some blackberry and smoked meat flavors, but a chemical/play-doh flavor undertone really made me hope this wasn't the Syrah I thought it might be. Both my wife and I concluded that this wasn't a wine we'd like to drink again.
Susana Balbo 2012 Malbec (14.2% abv, Sample $25) In an attempt at redeem the Crios Malbec, I decided to taste this higher priced Susana Balbo non-blind. This Malbec was a more complex, more serious wine than the Crios. Though there are good flavors of blackberry, cherries and dark chocolate it was a bit flat in the finish. This is a nice wine, not exceptional but better than most $15 Malbecs.
Susana Balbo 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (14% abv, Sample $25) Argentina produces more than just Malbec, but this Cabernet still contains 5% Malbec. I tasted this non-blind after having the two Malbecs a few days prior. This Cab is not the big burly Cab Americans often recognize. This cab shows some decent red fruit, tobacco leaf, coffee bean and sweet earth flavors. For those looking for traditional Old Workd style Cabernet Sauvignon this will be a good choice. If you're looking for big fruit, stay away.
Snowy Peaks Winery 2011 Viognier (11-14% abv, Purchased $17) This CO Viognier was tasted blind. The apple aromas had me first thinking it might be a Chardonnay, but the tropical pineapple flavor changed my guess to Viognier. It was beautifully balanced with a crisp and cream texture. A streak of minerality brought the whole thing together. I guessed it was from CA, and was pleasantly surprised to see CO on the label. And more props to the winemaker for making this hold up beautifully for five years with energy to last it for a few more years.
Carlson Vineyards 2011 Cougar Run Dry Gewürztraminer (13.5% abv, Purchased $14) This was another white tasted blind and decanted. I was torn between guessing Riesling or Scheurebe because of the lime, peach and petrol aromas. I never thought of Gewürztraminer because I didn't really get any spice or lychee characteristics. It lacked acidity and was slightly cloying without being sweet. This wasn't a bad wine, but definitely left more to be desired.


Once set on the banks of the River Tywi, in the beautiful Tywi Valley, for nearly 500 years the Bishop's Park was the private garden of the Bishops of St. Davids. Today, what remains of the park is now open to the public all year round and is a much-loved place to take a stroll and follow in the footsteps of the Bishops of St Davids.
Over its long history the park's landscape has gone through many changes reflecting the fashions of the time, changes in its use and more dramatically the forces of nature. The most recent changes were made in the 1970s when part of the grounds were chosen as the site on which to build a new Bishop's Palace. The old Bishop's Palace eventually becoming the home of the fascinating Carmarthenshire County Museum and no visit to the Bishop's Park is complete without exploring this jewel of a museum.
Despite the many changes that have taken place, as we look around the Bishop's Park today we can still see the remains of these earlier parks. The wonderful but overgrown Walled Kitchen Garden with its quaint cottage ornee, the old pathways through the trees, the ha ha overlooking The Great Meadow and the Bishop's Pond with its secret island, all offer us a hint at the one time splendour of these important and peaceful grounds.
This undiscovered jewel set within a landscape famously known as the Garden of Wales is a truly unique site and though its glory is somewhat faded the Tywi Gateway Project is working to restore the Bishop's Park to it former grandeur.

Today I'm back with another makeup tutorial except this time I'm breaking away from my comfort zone of purples and pinks, stepping into the zone of greens instead ! Generally I find greens - especially teal - quite difficult to pull off since I have blue eyes but I think I may have found a balance today with the rose gold lips !
As always, the video tutorial is above to watch but there is the text version below too !
1. First I primed my eyes using concealer and applied a base eye shadow in a blue-toned white shade.
2. Next I went straight in using a navy blue eye shadow in my crease and outer lids blending the excess into the centre where I began applying a turquoise shade outwards.
3. I then went back to the crease and outer corners, applying a teal green and blending it into the navy. I also applied the same blue-toned white on the inner area of my lids so that my eyes would pop a bit more and I used the navy again, but this time on my lower lash line. After this, I used a makeup wipe to sharpen the edges and clean up the excess shadow surrounding them.
4. I completed the eye makeup with more-subtle-than-usual winged eye line, a light coat of mascara and by filling in the ends of my brows !
5. I also attempted contouring in this look, applying the darker shade of bronze on the lower area of my cheeks followed by a lighter shade above it. I then took the blush shade and applied it above the bronze and used the highlighter shade below my under eye circles.
6. Finally I outlined my lips with a berry pencil and blended it into the centre as I didn't want any visible harsh lines since I applied a metallic bronze lip gloss over it.
And above is our completed look !
I hope you enjoyed this post which was a little more daring than what I've been wearing in recent months. My next post will probably be a Transition Year one since apparently portfolio is due to be updated by this week - eek - so I will see you then !

Home Ed Beat NH BREAKING NEWS: Draft amendment proposes to increase power and authority of NH...
BREAKING NEWS: Draft amendment proposes to increase power and authority of NH education commissioner
PACE Evaluations at Spaulding High School
At yesterday's (4/11/17) Senate Education committee meeting, Senator Reagan (R-District 17), introduced a draft amendment that proposes to substantially increase the authority and power of the Office of the Commissioner of Education.
The proposed draft amendment 1236s would:
eliminate the four existing divisions (details below) at the Department and replace them with four new divisions (responsibilities TBD) under the direction of the Commissioner;
transfer the existing responsibilities of the Deputy Commissioner to the Commissioner; and,
place authority over essentially all programs, funds, and personnel solely within the Office of the Commissioner.
The amendment is a non-germane amendment to HB 356, which the Senate Education committee will act on this month. The amendment would impact all aspects of education in New Hampshire, from K-12 public education, to special education services, higher education, and adult learning.
Here is a short summary of some of the proposed changes and how they would impact Granite Staters:
I. Dramatically reorganize the Department of Education so that the Commissioner has greater authority and discretion.
The amendment eliminates the four existing divisions (Division of Educational Improvement, Division of Program Support, Division of Career Technology and Adult Learning, & Division of Higher Education) within the Department of Education and replaces them with four new divisions (names to be determined) all under the direction of the Commissioner.
Impact on Granite Staters: Leadership of the divisions would no longer be accountable to the public for specific responsibilities written in New Hampshire law. Currently, the existing divisions are accountable to the public for the implementation of many educational programs, services, and accountability systems under NH law. This amendment would transfer all authority to the Commissioner and empower the Commissioner to create four new divisions – with as yet unknown responsibilities and authorities. This would remove an institutional check put in place to prevent the Department and New Hampshire public education from becoming overly-politicized.
As an example, currently the Division of Educational Improvement has the responsibility to "determine if a district is making diligent efforts to resolve personnel shortages that result in children with disabilities being placed out of district." (RSA 186-C:5,I(b)) This amendment would transfer that responsibility and authority to the Commissioner.
Impact on Granite Staters: The standard for appointing division directors would be weakened, opening the door for nominees who lack deep experience or advanced education in relevant fields. Division directors are nominated by the Commissioner, in consultation with the State Board of Education, and appointed by the Governor and Executive Council. Currently, RSA 21-N:3, II states that "The directors [of the divisions within the Department of Education] shall be qualified to hold their respective positions by reason of education and experience." This sets a rigorous standard for appointing directors as they must be qualified to oversee the specific responsibilities assigned to the director in law. By eliminating the specific responsibilities of the directors, the amendment lowers the standard for appointing directors–the governor and executive council will no longer be able to assess whether the Commissioner's nominees have the education and experience necessary to serve New Hampshire's kids and families.
As an example, currently the director of the Division of Career Technology and Adult Learning has the responsibility for " Administering career technology and adult learning programs" in the state (RSA 21-N:9, I). The amendment transfers this responsibility to the Commissioner, eliminates the Division, and empowers the Commissioner to create a new division with unknown responsibilities. How will the Governor and Executive Council be able to assess a nominee if there are no clear responsibilities for the position?
II. The Commissioner would have new authority to move significant funds within and across the Department.
The amendment provides the Commissioner with greater discretion to move funds around within the Department.
Impact on Granite Staters: Accountability for the manner in which public funds are leveraged by the Department would decline. Department funds are assigned to specific activities under state and federal (for federal funds) law (e.g., the state budget appropriates funds for specific programs and restricts the Department's latitude over the disbursement of those funds). The amendment would make it harder for the public to know how the Department is using funds as the Commissioner would have discretion to re-purpose public funds.
This amendment would enable the Commissioner to take funds allocated for a specific purpose and re-allocate them for another purpose. While the amendment would require approval from the fiscal committee of the legislature and from the Governor and Council for transfers of $75,000 or more, this amendment provides substantial power to the Commissioner to decide how to spend public funds.
III. Special education rate setting authority would move from area experts to the Commissioner.
The amendment transfers authority over setting the approved rate for private providers of special education services from the Division of Educational Improvement, to the Commissioner.
Impact on Granite Staters: The division of the Department with the expertise needed to manage programs for NH children with disabilities, would have diminished authority to do so. The rate setting process serves as both a critical quality control measure and as a way to manage costs for districts. Currently, RSA 186-C:7-c provides authority for the Division of Educational Improvement to "ensure that each school district develops approved programs for children with disabilities in the school district," and "set an approved rate for private providers of special education services pursuant to RSA 21-N:5,I(H)." This rate then sets a ceiling above which no provider can charge the Department of Education or, any school district. Transferring authority to the Commissioner, while also eliminating the Division of Educational Improvement, could change how the Department works with private providers.
By moving authority and responsibility away from the Division currently charged with the work, the amendment could introduce uncertainty into a delicate system that provides critical guardrails for students with disabilities and the students' families.
IV. The Commissioner would gain increased authority over public school accountability.
The amendment grants the Commissioner authority to administer the standards for how our elementary, middle, and high schools are approved and for integrating the school approval process with the state's accountability system to ensure that all NH students receive the opportunity for an adequate education.
Impact on Granite Staters: Introduces greater volatility and uncertainty around how we hold NH schools and districts accountable for delivering an adequate education to our children. The concentration of authority over both approval standards and accountability measures would make it easier for the Commissioner to change how the Department holds schools and districts accountable for the delivery of an adequate education.
This amendment would make it easier for public funds to go towards schools or educational offerings that are not subject to rigorous public oversight. (Please note: when used here, "adequate" is a technical term and does not refer to any goals or aspirations set by the Department or State Board of Education for student academic achievement.)
The amendment would grant the Commissioner of Education expansive authority that exceeds the discretion provided to most other state departments. While the authorities granted to the Commissioner of Education by the amendment are in some ways similar to the authorities currently granted to the Commissioner of Health and Human Services, the two Departments play notably different roles in the state. The Department of Education, consistent with New Hampshire's local control ethos, has historically served primarily as the provider of state education funding and as the intermediary between local school districts and the federal Department of Education. In these roles, the Department provides much needed expertise and serves as an important guardian of students' rights to a public education.
The amendment addresses a highly technical and complex subject – one that deserves greater public scrutiny via public hearing. Unfortunately, it amends legislation (HB 356) that has already gone through the public hearing process and there is currently no plan to hold a hearing on the amendment. Ideally, the Senate Education Committee would host a public work session where individuals from the legislature, Department of Education, and broader public, could provide briefings on the proposed changes. This would afford the public the opportunity to hear the rationale behind proposing such a significant consolidation of authority – and, weigh in on its potential impact.

Man sentenced to 4 years of probation in fatal Iola road rage stabbing
Natalie Brophy
WAUPACA - The man who fatally stabbed another man in a January 2020 road rage incident was sentenced Thursday to four years of probation.
Waupaca County Circuit Court Judge Vicki Clussman also a stayed a four-year prison sentence for Tyler Knutson, meaning the 24-year-old will not have to serve any prison time as long as he follows the rules of his probation.
Knutson was charged in January 2020 with first-degree intentional homicide after he stabbed Bradley Trinwith, 42, of Mukwonago, with a pocket knife during a road rage incident in Iola. Knutson ended up pleading no contest in January to a lesser charge of homicide by negligent handling of a dangerous weapon.
Trinwith was a passenger in a pickup truck leaving the Thirsty Perch in Iola that almost hit a passing pickup truck, where Knutson was a passenger, according to a criminal complaint.
RELATED: Iola man fatally 'poked' another man with pocket knife after traffic dispute in Waupaca County
RELATED: Iola homicide victim identified as Mukwonago man
After the near-crash, the drivers of the trucks began driving aggressively, "including following too closely, blinking between high- and low-beam headlights and the lead vehicle braking numerous times," the complaint said.
Both trucks eventually stopped in the 400 block of South Main Street and both groups began shouting at each other. Knutson told police he didn't want Trinwith "to hurt his face or break any bones, so he took out his knife, opened the blade and 'poked him,'" the complaint said.
Trinwith was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy determined he died as a result of a single stab wound to the neck. The wound was approximately 3 inches deep, the complaint said.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

A: Change the order of includes:
#include "TransitionTimeInfo.h"
#include "Timezone.h"

The Timezone.h uses TransitionTimeInfo but the "TransitionTimeInfo.h" is included after it.
Ideally, You should always follow the rule:
Each file should include all the header files it needs and not rely on them getting included indirectly through some other files.
So, You should include "TransitionTimeInfo.h" in "Timezone.h".

Kidnap ordeal blamed for fraudster's £15,000 used car scam
A serial fraudster who claimed his criminal activity was triggered by PTSD resulting from a four-week kidnap ordeal has been sentenced for stealing £15,000 from a used car retailer.
David Paterson, of Poulton le Flyde, Lancashire, brokered the sale of four vehicles to a remarketing provider as part of a business relationship struck-up with the North Yorkshire retailer but never handed over the proceeds, the York Press reported.
He was later tracked down by police on the Isle of Wight and pleaded guilty to theft on the basis he had only stolen £15,000 and had originally not intended to steal the money.
In a hearing at York Crown Court it emerged that the 57-year-old had more than a decade of fraud convictions and that police had linked 10 different aliases to him.
But Paterson claimed to a psychiatrist and through his barrister Danielle Graham that his dishonest behaviour, which started in 2008, was the result of post-traumatic stress disorder after he had been kidnapped and held hostage for four weeks in an ordeal which resulted in crooks taking £250,000 from his bank account.
After adjourning the case to hear more evidence of the claims the Recorder of York, Judge Sean Morris, handed Paterson a 12-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months on condition that he completes 15 days of rehabilitative activities and 250 hours' unpaid work.
The car retailer impacted by Paterson's latest fraud conviction was unnamed in a report published by the York Press but told York Crown Court that the scam had affected his cash flow and adversely affected his business at a crucial stage of its development.
He added that he was also much more wary of people wanting to form a business relationship with him.
FCA acts to protect consumers from unnecessary insurance products and unfair penalties
The Financial Conduct Authority has written to insurance sector CEOs as part of a bid to protect consumers from "unnecessary products or add-ons and unfair penalties" during the cost-of-living crisis. The financial services watchdog said that pressure on household bills might prompt some consumers to cut-back on insurance products, leaving them without protection against further […]

2023 DAKAR STAGE 3: BRABEC OUT


I would like to commend the organizing committee (ACSCA Directors) of the 2008 African Nations Cup of BC for a job well done.
I was wearing two hats during the tournament: one for Manager, Team Uganda, and the other as one of the ACSCA Directors. It was a lot of work put in for the two long days but in the end, it was worth every second of it.
Team Uganda'a performance was not the best simply due to lack of experience playing as a team. It was the first time for majority of my players to play competitive soccer and also playing organized soccer, so I must commend them on the bravery to handle the pressure from such a multitude of talents and experience coming from the opposition teams.
Team Uganda was drawn in Group 2 with teams that play all-year round in the BC-Premier league (AFC-Mozambique and ACBC-South Africa). The eventual winner of the tournament - Mozambique was one of our challenges.
So it was a learning experience for me personally to try and prepare better next year. Congratulations to Team Mozambique who won the tournament; they undoubtedly deserved to win because they played exciting soccer better than any team in the tournament. They have for sure raised the standards of the tournament and I am sure every participating team next year will want to defeat them.
I, with no doubt in my mind know that Team Uganda WILL BE BACK STRONG, so watch out next year!

Oscar Noms: Rex's Predictions
It's that time again! Oscar nominations will be announced tomorrow and LW's Oscar expert, Rex Okpodu, is making predictions about who will be chosen. Here's his analysis of the major categories:
It is now the norm for 5 to 10 films to be picked as nominees for best picture using the Academy's preferential balloting system. After a pre-nomination season without a clear frontrunner, this weekend's Producers Guild Award (PGA) win by Green Book might indicate its emergence as the film to beat on Oscar night. This is because the PGA winner has matched best picture more frequently than other precursors in the past decade owing to its use of the same preferential balloting system as the Academy. Here is the list of contenders likely to be mentioned tomorrow morning.
At the start of the season, Viggo Mortensen was a contender until he was unfairly maligned with talk of a racist comment on social media. (He apologized.) Previous Oscar winner Christian Bale plus Rami Malek have emerged as frontrunners after their recent victories at the Golden Globes. Bale subsequently added a win at the Critics Choice Awards. The list of nominees is expected to be:
Christian Bale, Vice
Rami Malek, Bohemian Rhapsody
Viggo Mortensen, Green Book
Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born
John David Washington, BlacKkKlansman
Three actresses have emerged as frontrunners in the precursors. Six-time nominee Glenn Close won the Globe for dramatic actress, Olivia Colman won for comedy actress while Lady Gaga won joint best actress with Close at the Critics Choice Awards. The three go head-to-head at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and are predicted to be joined by the two below. Whoever emerges victorious at SAG becomes the Oscar frontrunner.
Glenn Close, The Wife
Lady Gaga, A Star Is Born
Olivia Colman, The Favourite
Melissa McCarthy, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Toni Collette, Hereditary
Alternate: Emily Blunt, Mary Poppins Returns
Mahershala Ali, a previous best supporting actor winner ("Moonlight") has swept the precursors and is expected to do the same at the Oscars. His list will be:
Mahershala Ali, Green Book
Richard E. Grant, Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Timothee Chalamet, Beautiful Boy
Adam Driver, BlacKkKlansman
Sam Elliott, A Star Is Born
This is turning out to be an interesting race as Amy Adams, a five-time Oscar nominee, is overdue for a win. Regina King won the Globe but was not nominated for SAG or BAFTA (whose membership overlaps with AMPAS), which hurts her chances for an Oscar win. With that in mind, a victory for Adams at SAG will put her in front. These two, and the three others below, will duel down to the wire.
Amy Adams, Vice
Regina King, If Beale Street Could Talk
Emma Stone, The Favourite
Rachel Weisz, The Favourite
Margot Robbie, Mary Queen of Scots
Alfonso Cuaron (a previous Oscar winner for Gravity, in 2013) is the surefire favorite to win this category at the Oscars. The question is: will the Academy give him best picture as well? (Gravity lost best picture to 12 Years a Slave). Cuaron is expected to be joined by a list that echoes that of the Directors Guild (DGA). Expect someone to be replaced, however, as the Academy rarely matches the DGA five for five.
Alfonso Cuaron, Roma
Spike Lee, BlacKkKlansman
Peter Farrelly, Green Book
Adam McKay, Vice
Alternate: Torgos Lathimos, The Favourite
Roma – Mexico
Cold War – Poland
Shoplifters – Japan
Capernaum – Lebanon
Burning – South Korea

Sportsmen all over the world have incorporated different variations of the punching mitt to facilitate their training. Punching mitts, also known as focus mitts, are padded extensions attached to a customized glove used to train and spar in boxing, taekwondo, karate and other combat sports. The mitts are usually worn by the trainer or sparring partner who calls out instructions to the puncher and creates a good counter-force for the punches. The main purpose of punching mitts is to help the sportsman develop a good combination of powerful punches and defensive manoeuvres to improve their combative skills.
A seasoned trainer or sparring partner knows how to actively 'feed' a punching mitt and not just hold them up in readiness for the punches. The feeder is expected to skilfully direct the punches from the sportsman into the mitts, this is essentially known as feeding, so as to balance the force generated by the punch and prevent both him and the sportsman from getting injured. The feeder systematically calls out a number like 'three' 'four' or 'two', that represents a combination of moves. This combination could involve a jab, a cross, a hook and an uppercut in rapid succession. This feeding skill is especially important for sportsmen partaking in high power combat sports who require to have strong kicks, uppercuts and punches as well as defensive manoeuvers and quick foot work.
Sanabul Punching Mitts are specially developed hand-shaped mitts filled with environmentally friendly and ultra-light santec foam. The exquisite natural looking curve of the Sanabul punching mitts gives it a unique aesthetic and functional feel. The mitts are designed with an adjustable wrist strap to keep them snuggly intact on the hand and a mesh backing to keep the mitts breathable and provide maximum comfort. The interior of the mitt features a soft fabric covered half ball palm grip to absorb impacts from contact and provide maximum grip and minimal injury. The exterior of the mitts is designed with high quality and durable performance engineered leather that makes it easy to keep clean and maintain. Sanabul takes pride in its products and pays a lot of attention to the fine details that go into each mitt. The production team behind the Sanabul punching mitts is made up of highly trained and experienced professionals who take painstaking measures to ensure maximum efficiency, comfort and durability. The Sanabul Punching Mitts come in red, grey and yellow colours and neon bright branding to give the perfect aesthetic effect.
Sanabul also stocks Battle Forged Air-Punch Mitts that are exquisitely designed for the minimalists. The air-punch mitts have an impressive SBL engineered leather exterior and are filled with san-ultra light anti-shock foam which gives them the perfect level of comfort for elbow blows and knuckle punches and maximum impact force dispersion. The air-punch mitts weigh less than 2 lbs making them extremely user-friendly and convenient while ensuring minimal fatigue for the feeder. The open finger design of the mitts allows for easy 'slip-on' and 'slip-off' functionality and maximum aeration. Additionally, the secure Velcro closure keeps the mitts intact at all times.

The Rachel Maddow Show / The MaddowBlog
Sarah Palin attends book signing in Virginia, December 5, 2009
Mike Theiler/Reuters
This Week in God
11/09/13 10:45 AM —Updated 11/11/13 10:09 AM
By Steve Benen
First up from the God Machine this week is an unsettling look a ritual politico-religious exercise, which is now apparently being led by the former half-term governor of Alaska.
We are still a couple of days from Veterans Day, and 19 days from Thanksgiving, but it's apparently never too early to raise the alarm about the annual "War on Christmas." Dan Amira listened to the entire four-and-a-half hour audiobook version of Sarah Palin's latest release, which focuses on Palin's goal of "protecting the heart of Christmas."
The book is part tribute to the joys of Christmas, part how-to guide for oppressed Christians looking for ways to fight back against whiny and litigious secularists, and part manifesto on the general superiority of Christianity over atheism.
Palin, throughout, appears incapable of fathoming why a business catering to people from all walks of life may prefer to use inclusive holiday-season language in promotional items, or why a non-Christian may not appreciate a government institution expressing a preference for Christianity over other religions. To hear her tell it, such attitudes imperil America's dedication to religious freedom itself.
Every year, I foolishly think the right will find a way to enjoy winter holidays without complaining about store clerks using inclusive language in a diverse, modern society. And every year, I'm mistaken.
In theory, the very idea that Sarah Palin would publish a book on the subject would seem to represent some kind of Peak Silliness, but if recent history is any guide, this is a nonsensical arc without end – and a phenomenon we can only expect to see intensify in the coming weeks.
Also from the God Machine this week:
* Pope Francis took the surprising step this week of launching a poll: "The pontiff with a penchant for surprises is making new waves by launching a survey of his flock on issues facing modern families – from gay marriage to divorce. Very specific questions are being sent to parishes around the globe in preparation for next year's synod of bishops, a grassroots effort that experts say is unprecedented."
* Oh my: "Doug Phillips, an outspoken proponent of male "dominion" over women and a leading home-schooling activist, has stepped down as president of his Texas-based Vision Forum Ministries after admitting to an inappropriate relationship with a woman" (thanks to reader R.P. for the tip).
* Billboard wars in the Big Apple: "After a Creationist-supported billboard went up earlier this week in New York City, Atheist activists have responded with one of their own."
* And First Lady Michelle Obama this week hosted an event to honor the Hindu "festival of lights." It led the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer to complain that a "doctrine of demons … is being celebrated in the White House."

A trove of civil rights history


This procedure outlines the action to be taken by Children's Services following notification by Health Authority or Local Authority (Education Service) that they are accommodating a child or young person. Section 85 and Section 86 Children Act 1989.
Section 85 of the Children Act 1989 requires Health or Education Authorities to notify Children's Services Specialist Services where they either have Accommodated a child for more than three months, or at the time they first accommodate the child, intend to do so for more than three months.
Section 86 of the Children Act requires anyone providing accommodation for a child in a residential care home or nursing home for more than three months, or intend at the outset to accommodate them for more than three months, to similarly notify Children's Services.
The purpose of these requirements is to safeguard the welfare of children who may otherwise spend considerable lengths of time in hospital, residential school, care home or nursing home and to prevent situations where children may have no one effectively exercising parental responsibility on their behalf.
Where any health authority or local authority intends to or actually does provide accommodation for a consecutive period of at least three months, the health authority or local authority has to notify the local authority who appear to them to be the 'responsible authority' for the child, both when the accommodation starts/is intended to start and when it finishes.
The responsible authority is either the local authority where the child appeared to be ordinarily resident (had his home) before the period of accommodation, or, if it is not obvious where he was ordinarily resident (travellers/no fixed abode and so on), the LA where the accommodation is actually situated.
Once the local authority receives notification as the responsible authority, reasonable steps need to be taken to decide whether the child's welfare is adequately safeguarded and promoted whilst accommodated in the residential school, as well as considering if there is a need to 'exercise any functions' under the Children's Act 1989.
Where notification is received the facts of the child/young person's circumstances will be collated and recorded as part of the screening of the contact. Where the child has parents or someone with parental responsibility, who have regular contact with the child and they continue to exercise their parental responsibility in a meaningful way, then no further assessment is required and a referral for Social Care Assessment is not required.
Where the initial screening of the contact identifies that the child has little or no contact with anyone who has parental responsibility, then a referral and initial assessment should be undertaken. This should in particular focus on the child's care and their family situation, including the role played by parents and other significant adults.
If it is evident that there is no one able or willing to exercise parental responsibility for the child, and that their welfare is not being adequately safeguarded and promoted by the accommodating authority or provider, then relevant procedures should be followed including the completion of a Social Care Assessment a Child's Plan and where necessary LSCB procedures or LAC procedures.
In the case of a child accommodated in a residential care home or nursing home, the Social Care Worker undertaking the assessment has the right to enter that home in order to complete the assessment.
In certain cases it may be necessary to seek specialist help in assessing the child's needs as their circumstances may be such as to have led to a complex diagnosis. Such help should be obtained from someone other than the person or agency providing the accommodation. Further assistance may be obtained from the Hospital Team and/or Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Team.

Jamkit is proud to announce that we have been appointed to develop a website for Let's Get Cooking, a partnership programme led by the School Food Trust. Let's Get Cooking is a 5 year programme to establish a national network of 5,000 cooking clubs across England, giving children, non-cooking parents and the wider community the skills, confidence and enthusiasm to cook healthy meals from scratch. Wendy Carter, Communications Manager for Let's Get Cooking said, "We need to know what each cooking club is doing but were very aware that club leaders won't have time for form filling. Jamkit have developed a user friendly micro-site for each club, to upload information such as recipes and diary dates as well as a community area for clubs to access resources from food safety advice to shopping lists. The website also works as an online recruitment tool for schools to sign up online, saving a huge amount of administration at our end." Miles Waller (Director of Jamkit) 'This is an exciting and innovative project and we are proud to be associated with it. The website will play an important role in showcasing the work of cooking clubs around the country'. For more information about the Let's Get Cooking project, please call Wendy Carter at the School Food Trust on 0114 259 1323.

Smoke Haze
The Nylex Clock in Richmond.
Reader's picures from The Age
We are sequestered indoors today because of soaring temperatures (39ºC/102ºF) and smoke haze. We escaped the house early yesterday before the temperatures rose and went down to the Yarra for a play and a drink at the beautiful Fairfield Boathouse. The smoke hung over the Yarra like a mist, reminding us that in less citybound bush, people were fighting for their homes or waiting anxiously to see if the fire would spread their way. It makes me realise how lucky we are to live where we do. We dream of living in the bush but it's a naive dream. I honestly don't know if I could cope with the threat of fire, if I could stay and fight.
Even here, shut up inside our relatively cool Victorian terrace, far away from the fire's path we can smell smoke. We haven't seen blue sky for two days. The bush, usually a romantic, distant, quiet, empty presence surrounding the hub of the city, is suddenly intensely populated and we fear for the people who live there. The bush isn't over there, it's here, it's coming by air, converted by flame into smoke. Smoke signals fill the sky, but here in the city we barely understand the message. We know enough though to know it isn't good news.
A Southerly change is forecast for today, bringing with it the promise of a cool change and a clear sky in Melbourne. But the change in wind direction might not spell such good fortune in the bush. They say the fires might burn all summer. That's a lot of homes, a lot of human hours, a lot of fear, a lot of trees and animals (native and otherwise), a lot of loss, a lot of long nights in unfamiliar bush.
I am eager for the cool change and for the smoke to clear. But I can't help feeling that while Melbourne gets its reprieve things are still going to be challenging in the rest of the state for a long hot dry summer.
Eep: Edited to say that it actually got up to 42.1ºC today. But the cool change is here, and it came in time for dinner which was decent of it.
Oh that sounds very scary! We've had smoky haze over Hobart today and yesterday, although some blue sky came with it. It's hard that the constant smell of smoke reminds you of fires somewhere else. It's something very sadly Australian too - not like this in lil ole Christchurch NZ where I grew up.
As we drove over the West Gate Bridge yesterday past the city and through the orange haze it felt apocalyptic; as if the true, implacable face of global warming had arrived. Here I am, deal with me -- too late. Made all the fuss about terrorism and flour in John Howard's office etc seem unbearably trite and far away. This is our reality now and in the future, and what are we doing about it?
