Ryan Leaf's addiction: 7 million abuse prescription drugs in U.S.
| April 3 (Reuters) - A survey of US teenagers found that most have used alcohol and drugs by the time they reach adulthood, and researchers said this could be setting many of those kids up for a lifetime of substance abuse.
Such pharmaceuticals could be designed to decrease side effects like tolerance, dependence, and addiction not only in opiates, but in methamphetamines, cocaine and even alcohol, said Yin, also a faculty member at CU's BioFrontiers Institute.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new survey of US teenagers finds that most have used alcohol and drugs by the time they reach adulthood, and researchers say that could be setting up many of them for a lifetime of substance abuse.
MUMBAI: A youth allegedly thrashed his alcoholic father to death with an iron rod and a paver-block at his residence in suburban Malwani, as the latter often used to trouble the family after consuming liquor, police said today.
By Nicole Ostrow on April 02, 2012 The 15 percent of US high school seniors who abuse alcohol and drugs first began using them at age 14 or 15, according to a study that's one of the first to track substance-abuse trajectories during this key period.
It is estimated that 22 million Americans suffer from an addiction to alcohol or drugs. Helping professionals have long viewed the problem of alcoholism andaddiction in absolute terms: either you are addicted, or you are not.
Oxycontin is a powerful painkiller which can quickly take hold of an addict's life. ... Because of its widespread availability and rapid onset of addiction, more people need to be aware of the dangers and treatments for Oxycontin addiction.

En chocksajt är en webbplats som är avsedd att vara kränkande, äckligt och/eller störande för sina tittare, som innehåller material av höga chockvärden som också anses osmakligt och rått, och är i allmänhet av en pornografisk, skatologisk, extremt våldsam, kränkande, sårande, präglad av svordomar eller annat grovt språk, eller på annat sätt av provocerande natur. Vissa chocksajter visar en enda bild, animation, videoklipp eller ett litet galleri, och ofta skickas runt via e-post eller förkläs i inlägg på diskussionssidor som en bluff i ett försök att lura användare att följa länken till hemsidan (en typ av lockpris).

De flesta chocksajter är endast webbplatser som öppet visar material som vissa kommer att betrakta som störande eller motbjudande, såsom pornografi och fetischer.

Vissa chocksajter har också fått sina egna subkulturer och blivit internetfenomen på egen hand. Goatse.cx presenterade en sida ägnad åt fan-inskickade konstverk och hyllningar till webbplatsens hello.jpg,  och en parodi på bilden visades omedvetet vid en nyhetssändning på BBC som ett alternativ för den då nyligen presenterade logotypen för de olympiska sommarspelen 2012. En chockvideo känd som 2 Girls 1 Cup blev också snabbt ett internetfenomen, med videor av reaktioner, hyllningar och parodier som allmänt postades på videotjänster som Youtube.

Exempel på chocksajter

Goatse.cx

Goatse.cx var en av de mest kända chocksajterna som visar en bild av en man som sträcker ut sitt anus med händerna. Webbplatsen innehöll en sida tillägnad åt fan-inskickade konstverk och hyllningar till platsen, och en parodi på bilden visades också vid en nyhetssändning på BBC som ett alternativ till den då nyligen presenterade logotypen för de olympiska sommarspelen 2012.

Sajten stängdes ner 2004, men olika speglingar som visar bilden existerar fortfarande.

2 Girls 1 Cup

2 Girls 1 Cup är en ökänd chocksajt/viral video porträtterande koprofili och emetofili med två kvinnor som bajsar i en kopp, konsumerar avföringen och kräks in i varandras munnar. Sajten har rönt en hel del uppmärksamhet på internetforum och videosajter, lekandes med olika reaktionsvideor och parodier t.ex. låtar och animerade versioner. Bland dessa finns en video som visar reaktionerna från popgruppen New Kids on the Block, och komikern Joe Rogans reaktion på klippet och en parodi video med John Mayer. Videon förekom även i episoder av VH1:s Best Week Ever, Family Guy, Tosh.0, och The Inbetweeners. Violet Blue, en författare, beskrev denna webbplats som att den blir "den nya 'tubgirl' och goatse allt i ett motbjudande ögonblick av choco-poo-kärlek" i en artikel i San Francisco Chronicle.

Lemonparty
Lemonparty.org består av en bild som visar tre äldre nakna män i en säng som kysses och har oralsex. Sången If You Wanna Be Happy med Jimmy Soul spelas i bakgrunden. Bilden har nämnts på vissa tv-program, till exempel i en skiss på Talkshow med Spike Feresten, och dialog om Archer, The Simpsons, The Cleveland Show och 30 Rock. Webbplatsen har också beskrivits av Jimmy Fallon på radioprogrammet Opie and Anthony, på Chelsea Handlers TV-program Chelsea Lately, Michael J. Nelson från RiffTrax.com under RiffTrax för Avatar, av Jon Stewart på The Daily Show och American Dad. 30 Rock på NBC har gjort två anspelningar till ett "Lemon party."

Tubgirl
Tubgirl är en omdirigering till en bild som innehåller en maskerad, naken kvinna liggande i ett badkar, med höjda skinkor med benen över huvudet, skjuteande en fontän av orange/gul vätska (påstås vara resultatet av en apelsinjuicelavemang) från hennes anus på henne ansikte. Inför lanseringen av tubgirl.com, förekom bilden i artikeln "Fecal Japan" på rotten.com hävdandes att ämnet är populärt i Japan, och i en San Francisco Chronicle-artikel författad av Violet Blue, som samt vara föremål för ett skämt från Gizmodo.

A. Your credit card is only used to guarantee your reservation. Payment for the room and any supplementary charges will be required on check out. Accepted credit cards specific to your chosen hotel are displayed on the property information page and the booking form.
Q. What does 'Live Booking' mean?
A. Online booking indicates that the hotel has a system in place that allows our website to view and book ALL available rooms for any given date. As soon as the booking form has been submitted, the hotel will acknowledge your reservation by issuing a booking confirmation number. On arrival at the hotel you should present this confirmation number to the reception staff to retrieve your booking information.
Warning: Failure to present your confirmation number may result in confusion to whether you actually stayed at the hotel. As a consequence, a "no show" penalty may be charged to your credit card by the hotel.
Q. Is my booking confirmation number from Infotel or from the hotel?
A. When making a 'Live Booking', we are booking directly into the hotel's reservation system, in which case you are issued with the hotel's own confirmation number, generated by their system. 'Request' bookings will be given a confirmation number which comes from Infotel's own system. Once again, we remind clients to present booking confirmation numbers at check in.
Q. How are the hotels able to offer such discounted rates?
A. Reserving rooms online is a more efficient way for hotels to sell their rooms. Traditional marketing is expensive, the hotel information and rates are often outdated and with online booking there is less of a need for human interaction. Therefore, the savings made can be passed on to the consumer in the form of discounted rates.
Q. Are the room rates per person or per night?
A. All rates are based on a "per room / per night" policy, unless stated otherwise. Additional guests, children, beds and other items may be subject to additional charges upon check-out.
Q. Can I book more than one hotel room at a time?

• I.D. such as driver's license, passport etc.
• A valid credit card.
• A printed copy of you booking confirmation.
Q. How do I check-out?
A. Because your credit card is only used to guarantee your reservation, you will be required to pay the full amount for your room(s) plus any additional hotel services you used during your stay.
Q. How do I make a cancellation?
A. Please keep in mind that reservations cancelled after the hotel's cancellation policy has expired may be subject to a penalty charged to your credit card.
If you need to cancel a reservation made using online booking, it must be done on the Infotel website. Simply click on the "My Reservations" tab at the top of the screen. Fill in your email address and confirmation number (which you will have received in your original confirmation page and email). Booking requests can be cancelled via our call-centre (see number below).
Hotel systems do not allow modifications to be made to online reservations. We can only recommend that you cancel the original booking and re-book with your modifications. Please, feel free to call (see number below) if you are in any doubt about cancelling / modifying your reservation.
Q. How do I change my reservation dates?
A. Currently, changes to your reservation are not supported; you must cancel the original reservation (see above for more about cancelling a booking) and rebook for the new dates. However, we suggest you first check availability for the new desired dates, to avoid any disappointment from cancelling your first booking if the new dates are not available. Cancellation fees will still apply, as the first reservation is considered "cancelled," but credit will be given for unused room nights if applicable per the cancellation penalty.
Q. How can I get a receipt for my hotel room?
A. It is critical to keep the Infotel reservation confirmation page issued at the time of booking. You will also receive an email confirmation, which can be used as a receipt. If you need a receipt after your trip, you can access historical data from our website.

Dominant Home Fashion Trends in 2019 - Dapwood Furniture Co.
Every year about this time, home fashion magazines unveil for their readers what they see as dominant trends in the industry. So it's no surprise that this year, publications such as Martha Stewart Living (January 21, 2019 issue, These Decor Trends will be Big in 2019) tell us that " American Made" , "Natural Materials" , " Handmade" and "Custom Furniture" are predicted to be among the leading trends in home decor.
While an extension of the "nesting instinct", that is the propensity to spend more time within our abodes or perhaps fallout from the current tariff and import restriction movements, it's not surprising that American's are beginning to re-examine their home furnishing and pay closer attention on where their furniture comes from and what it is made of. Regardless of one's political leanings, the America First Movement is breathing new life into domestic manufacturing and resulting in a new found respect for American craftsmanship.
While we applaud this new interest in American craftsmanship and manufacturing, Dapwood has been there all along. Our business is not based on the latest trend or novel design but rather has always been dedicated to producing timeless quality using only the highest quality all-natural materials and finishes that are toxin and VOC-Free.
Our designs and methods are time proven, never compromised. We do not produce furniture using computerized robotics or machinery. We do not import premade components. We do not have warehouse quantities of parts that on demand transform themselves into a finished product. Rather, we make our furniture one piece at a time, with specifications and customization supplied by you, our customer.
Each bed frame is made to fit your body and lifestyle requirements. This insures years of healthy and satisfying use. That is why Dapwood customers commonly come back for more, particularly as young families expand and as our more senior clients choose to upgrade their furnishings.
While we welcome the new Home Trends of 2019, we would like to say- Welcome to Our World, a place where value, timeless style, American Quality Craftsmanship and healthy living have been our product for 35+ years.
Dapwood- makers of America's finest platform bed frames and furniture.

Tuesday, January 05, 2021 - illicit trafficking,Nazi,organized crime,World War II No comments
Image Credit: Guardia Civil
Arrested in a complex multinational police action code-named Operación Nongreta one of three gun runners arrested in Spain at the end of December has been found to have maintained a "museum" of Nazi-themed objects, alongside a substantial arsenal of weapons and ammunition.
Within the framework of the year-long Nongreta operation, involving the Information Office (UCE3) of Spain's Civil Guard, with the support of the Bundeskriminalamt, (the German Federal Criminal Police Office, BKA), the Andalusian Area Information Section, the USECIC and the GEDEX of the Málaga Command, and members of the GAR and the Servicio Cinológico, law enforcement successfully dismantled an arms trafficking group known to be dealing with drug trafficking cells working the Costa del Sol and Campo de Gibraltar regions in the south of Spain.
The operation, born out of a noticeable uptick in murders carried out during drug-related crimes committed on the Costa del Sol in the final stretch of 2019 using modified assault rifles, resulted in the arrested of three key actors - two German citizens and one British, who have each been charged with participation in an organized crime group, storing and trafficking of arms and ammunition, drug trafficking, and use of forged documents. The arms traffickers are believed to have been in operation for at least three years, operating a sophisticated scheme which funnelled weaponry obtained from Eastern Europian countries, with access to the old Soviet arsenals, to drug traffickers in need of weaponry active in southern Spain.
In breaking up the ring, investigators focused their attention on a seventy-year-old German citizen, a former gunsmith living in Coín on the pretext of being a simple foreign retiree. Through exchanges of information with Germany's Bundeskriminalamt, Spanish authorities were informed that the suspect had spent four years in prison for the illegal modification of weapons and also had a current outstanding European Arrest Warrant (EAW), after an arsenal was tied to him in a Hannover case in 2019. In that case, a family member has already been sentenced to prison for their involvement.
In a subsequent search of this suspect's home in Coín, the Civil Guard, with the assistance of a firearm-sniffing K-9, found a sophisticated hidden workshop, complete with complex machinery, which tapped into the city's electrical grid in order to operate a milling lathe, column drills, a hydraulic press and a blueing oven, the latter used after erasing the serial numbers to restore the barrels of the weapons to almost mint condition. This would make the weapons almost untraceable, and therefore a perfect weapon of choice in the clandestine arms market.
It was here that the suspect would modify weapons such as the Zastava M70, (Застава М70), a standard-issue domestic folding-stock Kalashnikov variant once used by the Yugoslav People's Army in 1970. Short and easily concealable under a coat or loose jacket, the weapons are perfect for drug factions engaged in quick hits when fighting over competing turf. The weapons had been purchased from collectors in Eastern Europe disassembled and were modified in the Spain workshop for resale. The second suspect, also a German citizen, is believed to have been responsible for the storage and concealment of the weapons in a rented warehouse.
The Third Reich memorabilia was identified in a second suspect's home in Alhaurín el Grandes, a town located in the province of Málaga on the north side of the Sierra de Mijas. There, the police found tables, shelves and display cases jammed with Nazi memorabilia including a portrait bust of Adolf Hitler, SS Uniforms, helmets, stick pins, insignias, medals, flags, and armbands of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, many of which were emblazoned in some way with a swastika or the Nazi eagle.
After a search of the suspect's home, officers moved on to a safe house he rented on the outskirts of the municipality. It is in that rented warehouse where authorities uncovered an arsenal ready for sale. There, law enforcement seized 160 firearms made up of 121 short weapons, 22 assault rifles and 8 submachine guns. Along with the arms, officers recovered 9,967 rounds of ammunition of different calibres, eight silencers, 273 magazines, a grenade, and a kilo and a half of military explosives.
Spanish newspapers have identified the holder of the Nazi memorabilia and the warehouse as a 54-year-old German named Tilo Kränzler, who publically claimed to be "the grandson of the real driver of the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler" during an interview which can be found on the Radio Platja d'Aro program "Enigma Report." He is also known to have saught connections with a Spanish far-right group.
In addition to his involvement with arms selling, the Kränzler sold olive oil on eBay, and operated a stall which sold military and Nazi paraphernalia as well as T-shirts with the face of the Swedish activist and environmentalist Greta Thunberg with the label "persona Non Greta." It was this play on words that became the code name for the UCE 3 of the Civil Guard's Operación Nongreta.
The third lead suspect is a British national who also resided in Coín, who acted as the group's intermediary in the sale between the arms dealers, taking a cut of the profits for the arms sold to drug traffickers working the Costa del Sol and Campo de Gibraltar. Previously arrested for drug trafficking, this UK individual also using fake passports to hide his identity, several of which were recovered by law enforcement during the operation.
At the search of the British suspect's home, the Civil Guard recovered a pistol with its serial number erased and more than 1,200 rounds of ammunition.
For now, the Court of Instruction of Coín has ordered that the three remain in custody pending trial while the hashish drug traffickers who operate in the Campo de Gibraltar area and to a large part of the mafias that have faced each other for years in Málaga's Costa del Sol will have a bit of difficulty stocking up on their firearms.

Labour Says May Not Offering Genuine Compromise: Brexit Update
Thomas Penny, Ian Wishart and Robert Hutton
Bloomberg April 5, 2019
(Bloomberg) -- Theresa May asked the European Union to delay Brexit, potentially setting up a battle with other leaders ahead of next week's summit. The prime minister wants the U.K. to be able to leave the bloc before European elections in May if she can get the divorce deal ratified in time. Her team is locked in compromise talks with the opposition Labour Party.
Key Developments:
May wrote to EU Council President Donald Tusk seeking a further Brexit delay to June 30 -- with an option to leave earlier if Parliament ratifies divorce dealMay also said government will prepare for European elections, but reiterates she doesn't want U.K. to take partTusk is proposing to offer a one-year extension with the option of leaving the bloc earlier if a deal is approved, an EU official saidPound weakens against dollar as government-Labour detente chills
Labour Say May Not Offering Genuine Compromise (5 p.m.)
The talks between the government and the opposition Labour Party seem to have ended for the day without progress.
"We are disappointed that the government has not offered real change or compromise," Labour said in a statement. "We urge the prime minister to come forward with genuine changes to her deal in an effort to find an alternative that can win support in Parliament and bring the country together."
DUP Slams 'Disorganized and Slapdash' May (2:55 p.m.)
Democratic Unionist Party Leader Arlene Foster, whose MPs prop up Theresa May's government, slammed the prime minister's talks with Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and said her request for an extension to Brexit was "unsatisfactory."
"The United Kingdom fighting European elections almost three years after a clear majority voted to leave the EU sums up the disorganized and slapdash approach taken to negotiations by the prime minister," Foster said in an email.
She accused May of being "foolish" for removing no-deal from Britain's negotiating options and said the premier should use any delay to work to get a deal that satisfies Northern Irish unionists rather than "subcontracting the U.K.'s future to Jeremy Corbyn."
Corbyn: Goal in Brexit Talks to Protect Rights (2:15 p.m.)
Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn told Sky News his goal in Brexit talks with Theresa May is to "make sure we don't become some kind of deregulated tax haven off the coast of Europe, or open ourselves up to unregulated imports of agricultural products from the U.S. or anywhere else."
The Labour leader, who said he wants to see environmental and workers protections built up, said his party is ready to fight European elections if delays to Brexit mean they're required.
"We don't think the European elections are an issue one way or the other," Corbyn said during a visit to south Wales, where his party won a by-election Thursday. "We'll contest them on the party's policy of opposing austerity."
Varadkar Says Longer Extension Makes More Sense (1:30 p.m.)
A longer Brexit delay might make more sense than a series of short term extensions, Irish Prime Minster Leo Varadkar said Friday.
The EU wants to avoid a "rolling cliff edge" of a series of short term extensions, he said in comments broadcast by RTE Radio. Asked about alternatives including EU Council President Donald Tusk's proposal of a one-year extension with the option of the U.K. leaving the bloc earlier if a deal is approved, Varadkar said these things are all possible, and would be discussed at the meeting of the European Council next week.
Farage: Brexit Party Will Stand in EU Vote (12:20 p.m.)
Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage told Sky News he plans to lead his new Brexit Party into the European parliament elections in May, "as it now looks certain they will happen."
"I thought we'd won the Brexit battle, but I'm not going to -- after 25 years of endeavor -- watch British politicians roll us over," Farage said. "No, this is the fight back, and they're going to be very surprised by what they get."
Farage, perhaps Britain's most famous anti-EU campaigner, has been a member of the European parliament since 1999.
EU Not Concerned by Rees-Mogg Comments (12 p.m.)
Responding to a question about Rees-Mogg's assertion that the U.K. should use a long Brexit delay to disrupt EU business (see 10:15 a.m.), a European Commission spokesman said he isn't concerned.
"This gentleman is not our interlocutor," Margaritis Schinas told reporters in Brussels. "The principle of sincere cooperation applies, as Prime Minister May herself makes clear in her letter."
Schinas also said only leaders could make the final decision on a Brexit extension, appearing to distance himself from EU President Donald Tusk's proposal that there should be a delay of a year.
May Hasn't Set Deadline for Talks With Labour (11:30 a.m.)
Theresa May hasn't set a deadline for talks with Labour to conclude, and there's also no date set for Brexit alternatives to be put to Parliament, her spokesman, James Slack, told reporters in London on Friday.
Asked when she would put Brexit plan B options to Parliament -- as she promised she would do if the outreach to Labour fails -- Slack said: "It wasn't something she said would be done in parallel" with the Labour discussions, adding that the government will have to present a motion in Parliament the day before any voting.
"The crucial thing is being able to agree a timetable with the opposition which will enable ratification by May 22," Slack said. Talks with Labour are an "ongoing process," he said.
Jenkin: Extension Better Than May's Brexit Deal (10:30 a.m.)
Bernard Jenkin, a leading voice among Euroskeptic MPs in May's Conservative Party, said he would prefer an extension to the alternative of being railroaded into accepting the prime minister's divorce deal with the EU.
"If we have an extension, we are still members and we can leave," he told BBC Radio 4 on Friday, adding that May's agreement would leave the U.K. too closely tied to the bloc. "We'd be better staying in a year longer if necessary."
Rees-Mogg: Use Long Extension to Disrupt EU (10:15 a.m.)
Jacob Rees-Mogg, chairman of the European Research Group of pro-Brexit Tory MPs, said a long extension should be used to disrupt the bloc.
"If a long extension leaves us stuck in the EU, we should be as difficult as possible," Rees-Mogg said on Twitter. "We could veto any increase in the budget, obstruct the putative EU army and block Mr Macron's integrationist schemes.''
But how much disruption the U.K. would be able to cause is likely to be limited by a "gentleman's agreement" as part of any extension: That London will not participate in any of the discussions Rees-Mogg referred to. The budget is also not due to be voted on for at least another year.
May Requests Brexit Delay to June 30 (9 a.m.)
Theresa May wrote to EU Council President Donald Tusk to request a delay to Brexit until June 30 -- with an option to leave earlier if she can get a deal through the House of Commons.
The prime minister, who wants to avoid holding European elections next month, cited ongoing talks with opposition Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn as a reason for further delay.
"It is frustrating that we have not yet brought this process to a successful and orderly conclusion," May wrote. "The U.K. government remains strongly committed to doing so."
May Said to Write to Tusk on Friday Seeking Delay (8:40 a.m.)
Theresa May will write to EU Council President Donald Tusk on Friday to request a further delay to Brexit, a U.K. official said on condition of anonymity, without giving further details. The plan was earlier reported by the Press Association.
Tusk Said to Favor Flexible One-Year Extension (8:30 a.m.)
European Council President Donald Tusk favors giving the U.K. a one-year extension to the Brexit process with an exit clause, a EU official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the discussions are private. The clause would allow the U.K. to leave if it ratifies the withdrawal agreement before the year is up.
The idea, which has already been floated on both sides, would mean the U.K. has until May 22 to get a deal done to avoid holding the European poll.
Tusk, who chairs summits of EU leaders, still needs their unanimous support before his proposal becomes firm offer. A second EU official there are different views among members states over the length of extension the bloc should offer.

Domestic violence inquiry into woman's suicide
Ben Kendall
An investigation has been launched into Norfolk police's handling of domestic violence complaints from a woman who was found hanging in her home.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is to manage the inquiry into police contact with a woman prior to her recent death in Norwich.
Officers were called to an address in Norwich after the landlord of the property found the female occupant, aged 41, hanging in the bathroom on December 16. Police were called to the house the previous day following reports of a domestic attack.
Following that incident, specialist domestic violence officers repeated earlier attempts, made in the days prior to her death, to offer the woman further assistance. The death is not being treated as suspicious.
IPCC commissioner Rachel Cerfontyne said: "Bearing in mind the gravity of this outcome and the police's long history of involvement with the deceased, I think an investigation, managed by the IPCC, is appropriate.
"Police are making significant efforts to improve their service to victims of domestic violence, and we need to examine the contact with this woman to ensure steps taken were in line with force procedures and policies."
The woman had a long history of contact with police over domestic violence incidents dating back to 2006. She also had mental health issues and was known to be at risk of self-harm.
Norfolk police referred the woman's death to the IPCC on December 18. After initial assessment it was decided that an investigation would be conducted by the professional standards department of Norfolk police, managed by the IPCC.
A Norfolk police spokesman said the force was aware of the investigation and was assisting the IPCC.

From Propietario to Empresario: A Case Study of Farmer Innovation in Ica, Peru

Small holder irrigation projects have been cited as a strategy for poverty alleviation throughout the developing world by providing a mechanism to improve efficiency of water delivery, enhance income generation, and promote community organization (both economic and social). However, a paradigm of top-down transfer of technology has dominated the agricultural development discourse and practice, failing to take into account local knowledge systems and individual farmers' capacity for innovation and experimentation. This in-depth case study of a community of small-scale farmers in a remote region in southern Peru examines a homegrown agricultural innovation in modern drip irrigation technology and the social innovation in community development that was triggered by this innovation. A comparison of the case study community with a neighboring village revealed that despite similar historical experiences under a series of national land reforms, legacies of the reforms manifested quite differently in each community. An analysis of factors such as geographic location, interactions with NGOs, and access to agricultural extension services, reveals that one community developed conventions of grass roots participation and entrepreneurship, while the other has come to suffer from a persistent, and perhaps deepening, sense of clientelism and dependency on outsiders. This case study offers a new way to understand local innovation as a key development process among agricultural smallholders with community-driven change as its main vehicle.

Q: Can not reference class in java class MyClass {
   int value;
}
public MyClass test(){
   MyClass mc;
   myMethod(mc, 100);
   if (mc!=null) {
      mc = mc.value;
      return mc;
   }
   return mc;
}
public int myMethod(MyClass mc, int a) {
   mc.value = a + 10;
   return mc;
}

I want to make the mc as a reference. If objective-c is similar to this:
public MyClass test(){
   MyClass *mc;
   myMethod(&mc, 100);

}

Please help me. Any answer is appreciate. Thank you in advanced.

A: In java we use reference variables instead of pointers. See this and this
class MyClass
{
   int value;

/*All methods have to belong to a class*/

public MyClass test()
{
 /*MyClass mc; you don't need to pass this to assign value the value will be
 assigned to the data members of the object(reference variable) which calls the
 function*/

MyClass mc = myMethod(100);
return mc;
}

public MyClass myMethod(int a)
{
   value = a + 10;
   return this; //This 'this' will return the current object
}
}

On the 21st of November, an exchange of view took place during the Committee on Fisheries of the European Parliament on the report 'Towards a sustainable and competitive European aquaculture sector: current status and future challenges' to be drafted by MEP Carlos Iturgaiz (Spain, EPP). In his speech, Mr Iturgaiz highlighted the importance of aquaculture in the European Union and some of the drawbacks this sector currently encounters.
Among the issues pointed out during the meeting, the administrative burden is the biggest significant problem of aquaculture at the moment, with complex and long procedures for producers to get licences and authorizations. In the European Union, there is not a specific legislation addressed to aquaculture such as for the fisheries sector. Aquaculture is driven by guidelines or general strategies, which leave space for each Member State regarding the implementation of the rules.
Besides, the lack of competitiveness of the European sector has also been mentioned and it is mainly due to the fact that European products are more expensive than the ones originating from third countries. Higher prices are due to the very high labour, environmental and quality standards, with which European producers need to comply. In the meantime, these high standards ensure the quality of the European products to consumers as underlined by the representative of the European Commission.
Furthermore, it was stated by some MEPs that, due to all these issues, the EU aquaculture production is stagnating while seafood consumption is increasing.
However, several MEPs highlighted the growing importance of this sector and its significant potential. In particular, MEP Werner Kuhn mentioned aquaponics as an interesting and innovative system that deserves to be supported by research and innovation funding. The representative of the European Commission also pointed out the need to innovate in this sector, and agreed on the fact that aquaponics could represent a sustainable solution.

Robyn Lawley is actually the first 'plus-size' model in Sports Illustrated. (Yes, it's confusing.)
By Gina vaynshteyn
So, yesterday we were really excited about Sport's Illustrated alleged first "plus-size" model featured for their swimsuit issue, Ashley Graham. Ashley is pictured in a sexy black bikini for SwimsuitsForAll, a campaign encouraging women to love their natural bodies and embrace their curves, with or without clothes on.
BUT the Internet pointed out that this spread was an ad —NOT an actual feature for the swimsuit issue. Well, it turns out Sports Illustrated will not only be featuring an ad with a plus-size model, but it'll also be featuring a real, editorial feature with a plus-size model for their 2015's Rookie series. Robyn Lawley, a size 10 model, will be modeling a gorgeous orange bikini, and according to Twitter, she seems really psyched to be repping SI this year.
And really, we have two things to celebrate. One of them is Ashley Graham's SwimsuitsForAll ad, because ad or no ad, it's still super rad that we have more diverse bodies being represented in a magazine that's known for fostering narrow beauty standards in the past. The second event we should totally celebrate is Robyn Lawley, of course, because she'll be the first OFFICIAL fuller-figured woman to be portrayed in Sports Illustrated. And that is just amazing.
Sports Illustrated seems to slowly be getting with the times—according to Fashionista, they've realized that the plus-size market is growing, and a third of their audience is, in fact, ladies. "It makes sense to appeal to the consumer," Fashionista claims.
We are super excited about this turn of news. Here's how the Internet feels:

Q: Rate Limit the Nodejs Module Request So I'm trying to create a data scraper with Nodejs using the Request module. I'd like to limit the concurrency to 1 domains on a 20ms cycle to go through 50,000 urls.
When I execute the code, I'm DoS-ing the network with the 40Gbps bandwidth my system has access to... This creates local problems and remote problems.
The 5 concurrent scans on a 120ms cycle for 50k domains (if I calculated correctly) will finish the list in ~20 minutes and will not create any issues remotely at least.
The code I'm testing with:
var urls = // data from mongodb

urls.forEach(fn(url) {
  // pseudo
  request the url
    process
});

The forEach function executes instantly "queueing" all urls and tries to fetch all. It seems impossible to do a delay on each loop. All google searches seem to show how to rate limit incoming request to your server/api. Same thing appears to happen with a for loop as well. Impossible to control how fast the loops execute. I'm missing something probably or the code logic is wrong. Any suggestions?

A: *

*For simplification your code implementation use async/await and Promises instead callbacks.

*Use package got or axios for run Promised requests.

*Use p-map or similar approach form promise-fun
There is copypasted example:
const pMap = require('p-map');

const urls = [
'sindresorhus.com',
'ava.li',
'github.com',
…
];

console.log(urls.length);
//=> 100

const mapper = url => {
return fetchStats(url); //=> Promise
};

pMap(urls, mapper, {concurrency: 5}).then(result => {
console.log(result);
//=> [{url: 'sindresorhus.com', stats: {…}}, …]
});


Discover one of Europe's most untouched landscapes – the Azores.
Within a four-hour flight from the UK, you will find a jungle wilderness where steam rises from the ground amid lush green forests. The Portuguese paradise is now more accessible than ever thanks to more direct flights, bypassing the need to stop on the mainland 900 miles west.
Canoeing in blue-green waters, bathing in volcano heated thermal pools, exploring underground lava caves and showering in natural waterfalls are just some of the ways to enjoy this unspoilt archipelago in the mid-Atlantic.
The surrounding waters are one of the world's largest whale and dolphin sanctuaries, where more than 20 different species can be spotted.
In a bid to see these majestic creatures in their natural environment, we set out across the choppy waters from the island of São Miguel, the largest of the nine islands. It was a waiting game with the captain in constant contact with land based lookouts who spot the dark shadows lurking underwater. But then a shout from the front of the boat and we were off, motoring towards a possible sighting. We were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a gigantic Fin Whale, the second largest animal on the planet.
It was breathtaking to see the huge sea monster arc out of the water before plunging back under. And just minutes later we were treated again, this time by a dozen bottlenosed dolphins which leapt fully out of the sea. For €40 (£28), it was a cracking experience, and organised through adventure excursions company Futurismo. Following an overnight stop, we then took a 45-minute flight to the mysterious Pico island.
For explorers keen to sample nature's most fascinating creations, the lava caves are a big draw.
After nervously signing a waver form, we donned our helmets, picked up our torches and delved into a pitch-black cave, formed by the lava of a volcano thousands of years ago. With no natural light, your torch and tour leader are the only guides you have through the tunnel, which was like a set from an Indiana Jones film.
If you prefer to stay above ground, Mount Pico, at 7,700ft, is Portugal's highest point and you can yomp up it in under three hours. Next we took a 30-minute ferry ride to the island of Faial. Here you can witness the visual impact of the islands' most recent volcanic eruption.
The Capelinhos volcano's explosion in 1957 has left one section of Faial completely barren and arid and completely at odds with the rest of its incredibly green landscape.
A 50-minute flight on a tiny, 40-seater jet plane had us back on São Miguel island. Its main town, Ponta Delgada, shows a different side to the Azores.
It is bustling in comparison to many of the islands' small villages, with plenty of bars and restaurants, with affordable 2 pints.
If you fancy a chilled-out afternoon, head for the art deco Terra Nostra Garden Hotel and swim in its pool, heated to around 37 degrees by the volcanic activity.
Kicking back in the calm, mineral-rich waters is so relaxing and only costs six Euros (£4.20). Another activity to add to the list is a bike ride around Sete Cidades – two huge, adjoined lakes, one pea green and one turquoise blue, which make up one of the seven natural wonders of Portugal.
Food in the Azores is all about the outdoor larder and natural cooking. We thoroughly enjoyed the intriguing local catches at Ponta do Garajau in Sao Miguel, which serves up fresh Azorean Barnacles and Bluemouth Rockfish. Meanwhile the Ancoradouro Restaurante on Pico offers pretty coastline views, with its juicy "fish on a stick" dish – several different kinds of fish on a skewer.
And to round off our Azorean experience, we took a trip to the harbourside Canto da Doca restaurant Faial, where we perfected the skill of cooking on a hot lava stone at our table.


Heartbroken by the tragedy, thousands of people across the nation are paying tribute to the lives of the teenagers and protesting for legislation on gun control. While many citizens argue that individuals have the inalienable right to gun possession, the right accounts for a large percentage of school shootings. On March 14 of 2018, many students at Ridge planned to walk out to commemorate the seventeen people who died in the mass shooting as well as protest the lack of government involvement regarding school shootings. Overall, schools, communities, and parents must come together to support one another to protect the lives of innocent students.

Thousands of activists across Egypt are expected to demonstrate against President Mohamed Morsi today. Protestors want to mark his first anniversay in office by taking to the streets of Egypt's main cities. Violence has already erupted, claiming the lives of three people since Friday, including a 21-year-old American student. He was killed by a mob in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, after he reportedly took pictures of demonstrators. Protesters also set on fire several offices of the Muslim Brotherhood. RFI spoke to Mohamed al Asqalami, an Egyptian engineer who is planning to join today's demonstrations -- despite the risk of violence.

OK, everybody. Forget what you thought you knew about Emilia Wickstead, because the designer has suddenly done a fashion volte-face. The old Emilia Wickstead, very much a to-the-manor-born designer, known for her pink and citrus palettes and super-feminine silhouettes, suddenly went all goth-metal today, with a decidedly masculine edge.
The first few looks effectively jolted the crowd wide-awake (half of them were jet-lagged). A featherlight napa leather coat opened the show, and yes, it was beautifully tailored, but definitely dark and masculine. The pearl and Swarovski crystals appliquéd onto the seam lines added a much-needed lightness to the strong look. Then came python prints, which, when combined with a leather skirt, looked like some kind of "don't mess with me" city armor. A Matrix-esque leather coat followed, the whole thing made more armorlike by the "film noir" headgear inspired by a vintage photograph the designer keeps on her desk. These pieces still had Wickstead's hallmark tailoring and fabric innovations, but their look and feel were radically different from anything she has done before.
The crowd palpably relaxed as some more familiar looks came down. A tangerine jumpsuit had Wickstead returning to her citrusy color palette, then dresses in blue and cream lace overlay took us out of the goth-metal clubs and back, safely, to the manor. And then came the jumpsuit. It now seems like a garment we have to accept as a wardrobe mainstay, like a blouse or a trouser, and Wickstead's white take on it was mathematically perfect. As were the honeycomb dresses and coats in a luxurious black crepe that had buyers craning their necks for a closer look.


SNY's Taylor Rooks talked to Knicks first round pick Kevin Knox about what he brings to New York and turning draft night boos into cheers.
Kevin Knox is coming to The Garden.
The Knicks tabbed the 18-year-old Kentucky forward with the No. 9 pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday night at Barclays Center.
Along with Knox, Missouri's Michael Porter Jr. and Villanova's Mikal Bridges were among the players on the board.
Knox was booed by some in the crowd, saying after "I like that. It's motivation. A lot of the city wants Porter, but I'm ready to work, I'm ready to get to the organization and try to win some games. help the organization."
In his presser after getting selected, Knox recalled the last time Knicks fans booed a draft pick. Kristaps Porzingis turned out pretty well.
"They booed Porzingis and look where he's at now," Knox said. "...They can chant 'Michael Porter' all they want, they got Kevin Knox."
About being one of the youngest players in the Draft, Knox said he was going to use that to his advantage and just "keep getting better and better" while playing for David Fizdale, who he described as a "great coach," and learning from Kristaps Porzingis.
Knox, who is the second-youngest player in the draft, averaged 15.6 points and 5.4 rebounds in 32.4 minutes per game for John Calipari's Wildcats this past season.
Knox said on Wednesday that he would be patient with a rebuild if he wound up with the Knicks.
"Oh yeah, I would be real patient," he said. "But I'm going to go in there with a competitive mindset, go in there and try to give it my hardest and try and get a starting job. I know it's not going to be easy, but I'll be patient with the coaches."
The Knicks went with 18-year-old Kevin Knox out of Kentucky over the guys rated ahead of him: Mikal Bridges, Michael Porter Jr., and Miles Bridges.
Was Knox a bit of a reach at the 9th pick? Yes.
Should they have taken the guy I've said to pick since the season ended, Mikal Bridges? Yes.
Could they have taken the high upside of Porter Jr.? Yes. But serious injuries at this young of an age are definitely a major red flag. Not picking him because of that reason indeed does make sense...although if Porter Jr. stays on the court, he could turn into a steal.
With all that being said, Knox fits the one position the Knicks truly needed most. He is 6'9" with a 7-foot wingspan and can shoot the rock. He's the second-youngest player in the entire draft. He's a versatile defender and he can score on the outside and around the rim. He fills a void that the Knicks have and can make an immediate impact in his rookie season.
The downside is that it may take him a few years to grow with this team. I strongly believe that Knox has a higher ceiling than Frank Ntilikina, though. It's a pick that makes more sense than Ntilikina did. With Kristaps Porzingis missing the first half of the season, Knox's role becomes that much more important, playing both the three and the four.
The Knicks clearly thought the upside of Knox was higher than that of Bridges. The safer pick would have been Bridges. The only reason not to pick Porter Jr. was the injuries. If not for that, he could have turned out to be a heck of a pick.
Nonetheless, the Knicks once again didn't go with a pick the fans are going to cheer on draft night. It has, for the most part, worked out in their favor with Porzingis. With Ntilikina, it's way too early to tell. Knox has a lot of doubters already coming in. It will be intriguing to see an 18-year-old try and prove them wrong in the Mecca of basketball and with all the media scrutiny he may face.

What does interest me is how well the REMAIN group persuade people that the EU summit changes are significant and meaningful. Their problem is that it's an outright lie. Cameron and Osborne first spoke about the referendum being in their manifesto on the basis of bringing about a fundamental change to EU treaties. They (or the media) spoke about an EU-wide Big Bang. I knew they were never going to get anything like that. They avoided specifics, but people were talking about restricting EU immigration. That's a non-starter - if you meddle with free movement then the whole idea of the EU will fall. I doubt any one country would have backed him. He has managed to turn the question of immigration to one of benefit tourism, but that's absurd because the sums involved are negligible.
I'm not sure anyone would see the "deal" as hugely significant. Some will see it as "something" others as "nothing".
As with the interest in which Minister is going which way it's all politics, posturing, stage management.
I dont know how influential it is - basically we'll be hearing from politicians (biased), the media (mostly biased) and business (biased but in a more transparent way as their business interest is self interest)

Any pro eu types going to leave in protest if we get out?
Carrots and Peas
As a general rule of thumb I think the exact opposite to the Daily Mail and the Sun tell me to think so I'll be voting to stay in.
The FT and the Economist are full of clever chaps and they want to stay, so I'll follow them. I can't be doing with uncertainty around my job (not that I work in anything related to Europe tbf) or my investments (although they are't worth much nowadays anyway).
David's renegotiation was always destined to be a show. He couldn't fundamentally alter the European Constitution with one quick pop across the channel so I don't care what deal he got.

It's an interesting issue.
In the Scottish independence referendum the nationalists accused the older generation of not being brave and hanging on to the status quo.
In this case it's the older generation who want "out" of something more than the young.
Quite. I'm already cringing waiting for all the people who were dead against Scottish independence from the UK arguing in favour of UK 'independence' from Brussels, whilst shamelessly using all of the same arguments.
Surely its the other way. Those for Scottish independence are likely against UK sovereignty. For some strange reason.
Not strange in the slightest. Despite what the Tories/UKIP/Daily Mail would have you believe, the EU remains a much looser arrangement than the UK. Nothing remotely inconsistent in being happy to be a part of that, but not happy with Scotland's current situation within the UK.
What is inconsistent is saying that you object to the UK being subject to laws passed in Brussels, whilst being perfectly OK with Scotland being subject to laws passed in London. Particularly as the EU, as mentioned above, is a far looser Union than the UK.
It's a pretty solid correlation both ways. Those who supported independence are largely pro-Europe, those who support the current Union of the UK are anti-Europe. There is another group of mostly English nationalists who would be happiest to see the lot of them bugger off, but it's a minority.
Pro EU?
Many who STRONGLY support the current Union of the UK are pro-EU. This kind of makes sense
Being pro Scottish independence and pro UK in the EU doesn't.
I've had a think about what I said, and it's full of holes, but no point in deleting it. Cameron for example is anti-independence and pro-EU. Galloway is anti-independence and anti-EU. (Mind you he's serial liar). (Edit - I'm not saying Cameron isn't)
But you're wrong about your second point. Most of Scotland is pro-EU, but about 50% are also pro-independence. They like Europe, they like the EU which acts as a brake on Tory policies from Westminster. First prize for those people would be Scotland in the EU, second prize is UK in the EU.
Let months of lies, propaganda, speculation and tedious TV and radio interviews commence!

It's easy for me, WWSD.
That's about right. A Tory government entirely unfettered by more moderate EU laws is too horrible to contemplate.
Looking forward to this. Whether the UK stay in or out, it's going to be great television. Should be good trolling on here as well either way. Expect Cammy, Bill, Terryfinch and Sewa to all shine during this campaign on PR.

Scotland wanted to stay in the EU if they got independence so it makes sense they want to stay in the EU being part of the UK.
I hope the UK stays tbf, I live in London these days but can't be doing with another Scottish referendum.

I'm out. I don't want to be part of a political organisation with such a clear deficit of democracy. I'd much rather Britain leave and set up a comprehensive trade union (non political!) with the commonwealth who actually share the same ideals of democracy and aspiration.

Eurozone - Britain can keep the pound while being in Europe, and its business trade with the bloc, without fear of discrimination. Any British money spent on bailing out eurozone nations will be reimbursed.
That's fair enough and as it should be. The last sentence is completely tacked on though.
Protection for the City of London - Safeguards for Britain's large financial services industry to prevent eurozone regulations being imposed on it
It will be interesting how this is applied. Assuming the € survives, surely the EZ countries have the right to dictate how it's used and to some extent it's movement. E.g capital controls. Tbh I don't think there was ever much of a threat to the city of London that Special Britain couldn't face down with the support of other countries (as long as it was in the EU), but perception is all.
'Red card' for national parliaments - It will be easier for governments to band together to block unwanted legislation. If 55% of national EU parliaments object to a piece of EU legislation it may be rethought.
The first seems to be a reduction for qualified majority voting we'll have to see how this works out. Presumably vetos still aply on matters like tax anyway.
Competitiveness - The settlement calls on all EU institutions and member states to "make all efforts to fully implement and strengthen the internal market" and to take "concrete steps towards better regulation", including by cutting red tape.
The second will be a little redundant if(as I hope) TTIP comes through as it will cut away a lot of regulation anyway. If it falls through then it's meaningless.

So it's a way of getting stuff into law that you don't think the public will vote for? Seems like we could do all this outside the eu.

All good reasons for capitalists to want an exit. Do they?
Human rights wouldn't change. The EU isn't a member of the European Convention of Human Rights because the EU doesn't allow a "fair trial" for antitrust offences so I don't think it would have a huge impact. The British Bill of Rights is going to be exactly the same as the ECHR and Gove knows it but having "British" over "European" in the title will pull the wool over people's eyes.
Can't disagree on workers rights and environment though.
I'm heading to Dublin if this all goes tits up. Though I'll still be an EU citizen of course.
Places like Canada, Australia and NZ aren't f**ked. When you add in one of the fastest growing large economies in the world (god know how based on what I've read regarding their tax laws) and you have a good basis for trade.
The USA would be a handy partner too when it comes to trade.

The more I watch BBC News 24 and its coverage of the referendum this morning, the more I believe it's going to be an out vote win. I don't believe Cameron's spin is going to work.

A handy partner indeed. So, did you know the EU and USA are forming the TTIP which is the biggest ever trade deal in the history of the World? And they already trade with us and they want us to stay in the EU so you've completely undone your argument there. Better luck next time.

The anglophone trade bloc is fantasy stuff. The only thing you and those countries had in common with each other back in the day was you controlled them.

Some say almost 50% of people are open to be convinced either way.
What are the main reasons people want to leave? What did Cameron need to 'win' to get people to stay in?

How about we will be screwed if we stay in. The PM has much reduced power now. He or she will have almost no real power in 10 yrs if we vote to stay in
To much fog to know for sure what would be best financially. However I do not want to be a European . I want to be British and will vote to leave

Form 10 Exchange Act Registration
All public companies whose securities are registered on a national securities exchange, and generally issuers whose assets exceed $10,000,000 with a class of equity securities held by 500 or more persons, must register a class of their securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
There are several methods for a corporation using a going public transaction to become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Many microcap companies that used reverse mergers in their going public transaction register securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act, so that their shareholders can rely upon Rule 144′s safe harbor.
An Exchange Act registration statement requires disclosure of material financial and business information to investors and shareholders. The filing of an Exchange Act registration statement obligates the issuer to provide current public information by filing periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Exchange Act Form 10
Form 10 is the most recognized registration statement under the Exchange Act. Form 10 is frequently used by issuers seeking to voluntarily file reports with the SEC. A Form 10 registration statement is the general form used by a domestic issuer for registration of a class of securities pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act when no other registration statement form is prescribed. Unlike a selling shareholders or company registration statement under the Securities Act, a Form 10 registration statement automatically goes effective 60 days after it is filed regardless of whether the SEC has compelted the comment process. After this 60 day period, the issuer reporting obligations under the Exchange Act begin. An issuer that goes public using a Form 10 registration statement must typically rely on the Rule 144 exemption or file a resale/company registration statement to create unrestricted stock for its shareholders.
Exchange Act Form 20-F
Form 20'F is an integrated form used both as a registration statement for purposes of registering securities of qualified foreign private issuers under Section 12, and as an annual report under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act. When used as an annual report the disclosures are similar to those found in Form 10-K. 20-F filers do not file proxy statements and proxy solicitations are often done utilizing the Form 20-F disclosures.
Exchange Act Form 40'F
Form 40'F under the Exchange Act is used both as a registration statement to register securities of eligible publicly traded Canadian foreign private issuers, and as an annual report for such issuers. It serves as a wraparound for the company's Canadian public reports and is very similar to a Form 10-K. Certain Canadian filers whose public float is less than US $75 million may file the 20-F instead of the 40-F.
Exchange Act Form 8'A
Form 8-A is a short form registration statement that may be used by issuers to register a class of securities under the Exchange Act.
Exchange Act Form 8'B
Form 8'B is a specialized Exchange Act registration statement form that may be used by certain issuers with no securities registered under the 1934 Act that succeed to another issuer which had securities registered at the time of succession.

Why is Workplace Recruitment so Unreliable?
Not having worked in the Fit-Out sector man and boy it gives me a bit of perspective. One of the things I noticed very early when we set up Formation was that firms would say to me that they couldn't rely on their resource suppliers. This struck me as a bit odd.
It looked like firms would urgently need help, short-term or permanent hires and the usual way of hiring just wouldn't cut it.
When analysing it became clear that both parties were working against each other. The recruiters would throw a lot of poorly qualified candidates at fit-out firms and the firms wouldn't have a lot of motivation to respond to the recruiters to provide feedback. It was a waste of time for all three parties, the recruiters, the candidates and the firms themselves.
Taking it back a level, I wanted to understand why this experience even existed. From the fit-out firms the following was true – the firms would not invest the time with the recruiters to brief them on what 'good' looked like and then start dates would move around because the end-client would move things around. Lastly, a lot of the projects can be relatively short-term (4-12 weeks) which makes the margin for the recruiter comparatively slim and this leads to a race to the bottom. Firms will look to utilise a number of recruiters on a single hire which again leads to a first past the post which drives down quality.
Firms don't trust Recruiters and the Recruiters have to employ a "pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap" strategy.
So how can you break this cycle?
Let's be friends: Firstly, firms need to decide who they want to work with and establish a proper recruitment process and establish a relationship. Have a preferred supplier relationship, you don't want to deal with hundreds of recruiters. That's what recruiters want as well. If the chances of making the hire is good, then recruiters will put in more effort, higher quality and a better process to deliver the right people.
It's good to talk: We spend a lot of time with our customers, I have been in London, Newcastle, Leeds and Glasgow during the last week or so. Meet your recruiters and recruiters meet your clients. I am astounded that even today candidates are still not met before submission to firms. What are firms paying for? Not much. Conversely, when things slips firms are reticent to tell the recruiters, so the recruiters carry on with the same start dates or detail when the world may have changed.
Put them on the back-burner: I have learned that there is no back-burner, candidates hate it when they know they are not being progressed but are told they are in the process. Companies will often continue to look for the right candidate and put 'possibles' on the back-burner. I have never, ever seen a candidate move from the back-burner to an offer. Never. So be decisive and stop creating admin for yourselves.
Also connected to this are start dates for short-term resource. I have never seen a sector where things move so wildly. More thought here because candidates will turn themselves inside and out to get their for the agreed Monday only to find it moves back or goes to "review". It's the worst kind of PR.
Keep your recruiters up to speed, lots of updates during the recruitment process. I never understand why all parties aren't more transparent, if you have concerns, worries and nervousness about the process, tell people. It leads to much, much better outcomes.
I could probably write much more but I think these are the most important and will make a difference. Hope it helps !!


Working on ancestry.com allows people the chance to receive the assistance of hints from other people's public trees. However, one must make every attempt to verify the hints with actual documentation. Otherwise you will not only be creating false information for yourself, but also spreading false information on any ancestry tree you make public. While this might not seem like such a big deal, many genealogists loathe people spreading bad information. To reiterate, placing false information on your public tree(s) will become a source for bad hints for everyone else.
Those ancestry trees I create for adoptees and birth parents are set as private and unsearchable until I am confident that what I have assembled is true. Whenever you create a tree and are not sure you are confident everything on it is credible, on your family tree page, go to "Tree pages", "Tree Settings", and then click on the "Privacy Settings". On that page pick the bottom choice, "Private Tree" and place a check mark next to, "Also prevent your tree from being found in searches." This will ensure that no one can grab bad info and spread false information outside of your reach.
There is no way to contact Ancestry.com and claim you found bad information on another tree, and request that it be removed. They consider this medium open for individual discretion. Who's to say what's truth from fiction? Maybe the other individual has yet to post the proof and simply knows because they have intimate knowledge of the family they published information about. There are no rules, nor would it be easy for Ancestry.com to police thousands and thousand of public family trees.
There was a time you had to change your private tree to public for AncestryDNA to compare your DNA and trees with other's you are genetically related to. That is no longer necessary. You can keep your tree private and still attain matches and estimated/predicted relationship ranges.
I am always a bit leery when I see a hint from a tree that has over five to ten-thousand plus people on it. Especially if the individual has an account that is less than a year old. That suggests to me that they simply clicked and accepted every single family tree hint and never bothered to add sufficient documentation to prove each individual. Be wary, and know that bad information may lead you down a rabbit hole and eventually to brick walls where absolutely zero information can be relied upon to help finding biological family. Imagine contacting someone, asking them to perform a DNA test, and then later finding out the tree you built was false. No one likes wasting time and money. So please be a responsible genealogist.


Inglot YSM Cream Foundation is a medium to full coverage foundation with a semi-matte finish. YSM stands for Young Skin Makeup, and it's the line of foundation from Inglot that's best suited for those looking for more of a natural look rather than flawless complete coverage (for example, if you have freckles, the foundation will even out your skin tone without hiding your freckles). This is a great everyday foundation that's not too expensive. Compared to similar name-brand foundations like MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 ($26.50), Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation ($40.00), and Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15 ($46.00), Inglot YSM Cream Foundation is only $15.00 — and the foundations I listed all come with the same amount of product, 30ml/1oz!
Shown in the picture on the top right, I'm wearing Inglot YSM Cream Foundation in "44", which I applied with a MAC 188 Small Duo Fibre Face Brush. I put a moisturizer with SPF beforehand, since this foundation does not have any SPF. I didn't apply any additional makeup (such as powder) on top of the foundation in this picture. As you can see, the finish is neither too shiny nor too matte — it gives a natural healthy glow!
In the picture above, I swatched the YSM Cream Foundation in "44" on a bare arm (no primer). The foundation blended in so well that I could hardly see where it was. I made the swatch circular, so if you imagine a circle centered where the pink arrow is pointing that has a radius that's the same length as the arrow, that is where the swatch is.
Here's how the foundation looks like after I've applied the rest of my makeup for the day. I've found that it's best to use concealer before applying YSM Cream Foundation rather than after. When this foundation dries, it feels almost powdery — applying a non-powder concealer on top of something powdery does not blend well. Other than that, the only other thing to keep in mind when determining if Inglot YSM Cream Foundation is right for you is their somewhat limited shade range. Unlike MAC that usually carries around 30 shades for their most popular foundation products, YSM Cream Foundation only comes in 14 shades. Those that are more fair or more ebony might not find a perfect match. For the price, you can't go wrong with the quality of this product if you can find one in your shade! Ask to be matched and for a sample at an Inglot store.
I tried this foundation on today and I love it. I purchased the foundation and the powder in 41. The coverage is pretty good and I like it better than the counterparts in MUFE and MAC. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I'm glad you like it too! If you like black gel liners, Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel in "77″ is my #1!

EAGLE SUMMIT WILDERNESS ALLIANCE

Vollunteer Wilderness Rangers
Volunteer - Trailhead Hosts
Volunteer Trail & Campsite Projects
Volunteer - Sawyers
Volunteer WeedSpotters
Currie Craven Award
The mission of ESWA is to assist two US Forest Service Ranger Districts in maintaining three federally-designated Wilderness Areas, which comprise about a quarter-million acres in Eagle County and Summit County, Colorado.
An all-volunteer non-profit organization, we strive to achieve our mission with boots-on-the-ground field programs focused on stewardship of the land and education of Wilderness visitors, as well as outreach to local organizations and advocacy for selected environmental campaigns.
More specifically, we deploy about 70 Volunteer Wilderness Rangers on trails and at trailheads to engage and assist Wilderness visitors, promoting Wilderness ethics in general and Leave No Trace principles in particular. ESWA Rangers also help maintain trails and campsites in the Wilderness, and install signs on trails and at popular camping areas.
We deploy about 25 certified Sawyers who help keep trails free of deadfall trees. Together, the Rangers and Sawyers service trails and campsites deep in the backcountry, aided by pack llamas. Our WeedSpotters identify sites of invasive weeds infestations, which are then treated by professionals. With our Advocacy program, we support and promote outside projects that are broadly aimed at protecting and improving the health of Wilderness and its surroundings. Our Outreach activities include sponsorship of Rocky Mountain Youth Corps crews for construction and renovation projects, including boardwalks and bridges and partnerships with a number of non-profit organizations on projects of mutual interest. We created a memorial kiosk at the Dillon Ranger District office and we spearheaded the creation of a memorial boardwalk through a wetland on a popular trail.
We have been pursuing these objectives for more than a quarter-century. In a recent year, our Rangers engaged directly with more than 12,000 Wilderness visitors on 400 patrols covering 2,700 miles on 25 different trails, plus 3 weekend llama-assisted trips to deep backcountry sites; our Sawyers cleared 800 trees from 14 trails; our Advocates worked on behalf of a half-dozen environmental campaigns.
Read about these activities on other pages of our website.
In 1964 Congress passed the Wilderness Act. Today more than 100 million acres in the US are protected as Wilderness. What makes Wilderness special? To find out, read the Wilderness Act HERE; it's not very long and we've highlighted important parts.
After decades of Primitive Area status, in 1976 Eagles Nest Wilderness (ENW) was signed into law by President Gerald Ford, after an arduous approval process (click HERE to see some of the original documents). Holy Cross Wilderness followed in 1980, and Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness in 1993.
Located close to major metropolitan areas, all three Wildernesses have become increasingly popular with outdoor enthusiasts.
We were founded in 1994 as Friends of Eagles Nest Wilderness (FENW), when local journalist John Fayhee, after backpacking with two Forest Service Rangers in the Eagles Nest Wilderness (ENW), wrote an editorial lamenting the lack of resources to maintain and protect Eagles Nest Wilderness. After reading the article, Tom Jones, Jr., co-owner of Wilderness Sports , teamed with Fayhee and organized a public meeting, which gave birth to FENW (in 2019 our name was changed to Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance - ESWA). Currie Craven became Chairman of the Board, Ed Adams President, Fayhee Secretary, and Jones Treasurer. Our initial attention was focused on the east (Summit County) side of ENW, and our early years are warmly documented in a personal history by Maryann Gaug - click HERE.
In 2006, we expanded our mandate to include the west side of the ENW in Eagle County, plus Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness and Holy Cross Wilderness. In 2019, we changed our name to Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance (ESWA), the better to reflect the scope of our work in both Eagle and Summit Counties.
