May 23 in African History: A Day of Significant Milestones and Reflections
May 23 holds a unique place in African history, marked by events that have had profound implications for the continent’s socio-political and cultural landscapes. This day encapsulates moments of both triumph and reflection, underscoring the diverse and dynamic nature of African history.
1956: Sudan Achieves Self-Governance
On May 23, 1956, Sudan experienced a pivotal moment in its history when it was granted self-governance following the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium. This move marked a significant step toward full independence, which Sudan achieved on January 1, 1956. The events leading up to May 23 were crucial as Sudan navigated its way through complex colonial dynamics and internal political strife. The self-governance marked the beginning of Sudan’s journey as an independent nation, grappling with the challenges of unity and development in a diverse and often divided society.
1963: The Formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU)
Though not precisely on May 23, the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) on May 25, 1963, is closely linked to the spirit of African unity and independence celebrated around this time. The OAU was established in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting solidarity among African nations and coordinating and intensifying cooperation for development. The precursor discussions and meetings, including those held on May 23, set the stage for this historic formation. The OAU played a critical role in supporting decolonization efforts and advocating for the political and economic integration of Africa. It was later transformed into the African Union (AU) in 2002, continuing its legacy of fostering unity and development across the continent.
1998: South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Hearings
On May 23, 1998, South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) continued its hearings, a process that began in 1996 and concluded in 2002. The TRC was a pivotal mechanism in post-apartheid South Africa, aimed at uncovering human rights abuses and fostering national healing. The commission, chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, heard thousands of testimonies from victims and perpetrators of apartheid-era atrocities. The hearings on May 23, 1998, were part of a broader effort to document and address the injustices of the past, offering a platform for truth-telling and reconciliation. This date is a reminder of South Africa’s commitment to confronting its painful history and building a more just and inclusive society.
2000: The Signing of the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement for Burundi
On May 23, 2000, significant progress was made in the peace process in Burundi with the signing of a peace and reconciliation agreement in Arusha, Tanzania. This agreement was aimed at ending the long-standing civil conflict that had plagued Burundi since 1993, resulting in significant loss of life and displacement. The negotiations, facilitated by Nelson Mandela, were a critical step towards peace and stability in the region. The agreement laid the groundwork for power-sharing, democratic governance, and the return of refugees, highlighting the importance of dialogue and compromise in resolving conflicts. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Home > Embracing change
By Larry Platner
Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. ESV
Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. 2 The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. ESV
20 And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it. ESV
And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?” 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are. 40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall order themselves as you command. Only as regards the throne will I be greater than you.” ESV
I am sure none of us would like to have gone through the changes that Joseph experienced in his life. Life for him was just fine, the favoured son of his father, a receiver of dreams from God, the owner of a brilliant coat. Then all of sudden everything changed not just once but three times. How did Joseph react to these changes? He embraced them by embracing God. Whatever situation he found himself in, knowing that God was with him, he chose to be hard working, trustworthy and a loyal servant and in doing so he blessed others. Joseph did not know what lay ahead but he did know his God.
Yes change can be hard particularly when it is thrust upon us when we least expect it. Yet from what we learned above, God will be with us no matter what the situation. As a faithful and loving God He will turn the worst situation into a blessing not only for yourself but for others. So when change occurs, choose to embrace it, to walk the journey with God. In doing so you will grow in faith and love, be a blessing to others and enter into a new beginning that was far beyond your imagination.

Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II
The Vietnam War made it clear that the Douglas A-1 Skyraider needed a more potent successor. Hence the USAF started the A-X competition for a new close air support fighter aircraft. The YA-10A was the winner against the Northrop YA-9A. It received the official name Thunderbolt II, but is often nicknamed Warthog or simply Hog.
The A-10 is hard to miss when it comes to recognition. It has straight, low mounted wings with many storage points under them. The main wheels partially retract forward in pods under the wings. Up front is a high mounted bubble canopy. The 30 mm cannon sticks out of the nose like a Cuban cigar. It takes up so much room that the nose gear is placed right of the centre. Two large diameter jet engines are attached to the side of the rear fuselage. To shield the hot exhausts the A-10 has an H-tail. All together this design makes the Thunderbolt II unique.
Twelve pre-production aircraft were built, designated as YA-10A. It can mainly be recognised by the absence of the big cannon in the nose. They do have a long pitot boom on the nose.
The YA-10A pre-production Thunderbolt II has no cannon, but does have a large boom on the nose, for testing purposes.
A-10A & OA-10A
The full production aircraft A-10A of course got their big cannon and a refuelling receptable in place of the testing probe. Additionally they have a divided nose gear door (now with part at the back of the nose gear) and fins at the side of the fuselage, near the wing leading edge.
OA-10A is the designation for A-10As used for airborne forward air control. They are the same as an A-10A used for direct combat.
The YA-10B was a development aircraft for a two seat night/adverse weather combat aircraft. This larger canopy directly the main recognition point of the version. Just one aircraft was built.
The YA-10B has a two seat cockpit with a larger canopy than the A-10A. (photo: John Bennett)
To keep the A-10 going for many more years the cockpit received an upgrade to bring it into the 21st century. The many "steam" gauges have been replaced by displays. In addition, the wing skins were replaced. From the outside both changes are not visible though, so it is hard to distinguish it from the older version.
Confusion possible with
Because the A-10 has such a unique appearance, it is very unlikely that you confuse it with another aircraft. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Despite an increasing number of available communication channels, the importance of business travel has not diminished. On the contrary, especially when it comes to establishing and maintaining professional contacts, getting to know each other personally is just as irreplaceable as regular exchanges with important business partners.
The most important questions about travel expense accounting are answered so that you can carefully collect the necessary documents and maybe using seo malaysia for their internet searching. if the business before and during a business trip and save yourself this effort afterwards.
How is a business trip defined?
First of all, it must be clarified how a business trip differs from a private trip. Both variants have in common that for a certain period of time you move away from your traditional environment of the place of residence and work and visit other – often previously unknown – places and people.
Preparation of the content of a trip
A conversation should be held with these people in advance, which addresses the following questions in order to get a clear idea of the motivation:
- Destination and period of the planned trip?
- Who are the participants in the trip, both from your own company and from local business partners?
- What is the initial situation like before starting the trip?
- What is the expectation of the result of the trip?
- What arguments or tools do you have as a business traveler to achieve your goal?
- What are the options for convincing business partners? At what point can compromises be made?
Organization of the business trip
For many business trips, accommodation is required due to the distance or duration of the activity, usually a hotel conveniently located to the destination. In order to avoid nasty surprises when checking in, this should be booked before the start of the journey.
A major potential stress factor on business trips is the travel route and course. It should be clarified in good time before departure which means of transport are used. Depending on the distance and budget, the following options are available:
Special case: use of a private car
In some cases, for various reasons, the employer cannot provide or organize a suitable means of transport. Then there is the possibility of using a private car. I. d. As a rule, the employer reimburses a mileage allowance that compensates for fuel consumption and wear and tear on the vehicle.
When traveling long-distance, it is essential to check the entry requirements well in advance of the start of the journey and to have the relevant travel documents – e.g. B. Passport and Visa – to be obtained. It is also advisable to find out about the local conditions in the case of unknown destination countries, in particular about the security and health situation, for example with a view to recommended vaccinations.
All the necessary documents should be compiled immediately before the trip so that they can be accessed immediately upon departure. The documents that can be prepared include in particular:
- Travel documents and information
- Overview of all potential contacts and their contact details
- Documentation necessary to fulfill the business mandate
- Business Cards
- Documents that are to be worked out during the trip are ideally already available as drafts on a notebook or tablet so that the working time on the trip is not spent on preparatory activities.
When putting together your luggage, you should first and foremost ensure that you can appear appropriately for the occasion during the trip. Business clothing and personal hygiene products are mandatory, but there are also suitable accessories and, if necessary, safety clothing.
Follow-up of a business trip & travel expense report
The professional results that could be achieved for the employer, every business traveler is of course interested in the reimbursement of his expenses. In order to claim this via a travel expense report, proof is required for each position. These primarily include invoices and receipts, e.g. B. for overnight stays or train tickets. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Take steps now to prevent osteoporosis. Calcium, magnesium, and vitamins D and K all support healthy bones.
As many as 2 million Canadians have osteoporosis. Over the age of 50, one in four women and one in eight men have the disease. Canada, let’s take steps now to prevent this common disease later.
What is osteoporosis?
The body is constantly breaking down old bone and making new bone. When we’re young bone strength generally builds up as long as the body receives the nutrients it needs to form a strong bone structure. As we age this process slows down and bone loss and deterioration can occur.
Risk factors for osteoporosis include:
Supplements for optimal bone support
Calcium, which most people know about for its bone-building properties, is but one mineral involved in the bone matrix. Magnesium is equally important, and each requires the other for their absorption and utilization.
Calcium and magnesium supplements can be poorly absorbed if the minerals are in inorganic forms such as calcium carbonate or magnesium oxide. Chelated versions of these nutrients provide more usable amounts for the body.
A ratio review
Many supplements contain a 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, providing what some nutritionists believe is excess calcium given that we also get calcium from food—about 500 to 700 mg daily. For many, a ratio of 1:1 is preferable.
In addition to chelated calcium and magnesium, a bone-support formula should also contain boron, which helps the body retain calcium; magnesium; and silicon, which aids in calcium absorption.
Vitamins D and K
Vitamin D has been shown to help prevent bone loss. Osteoporosis Canada recommends 400 to 1000 IU for adults under age 50 without osteoporosis. For adults over 50: 800 to 2000 IU. Anyone with osteoporosis: 800 IU or more daily.
Higher vitamin K intake is also associated with higher bone mineral density, suggesting that it may offer protection against bone loss and osteoporotic fractures in the elderly.
Invisible or not, bones are relied upon throughout our life. Reduce your risk of osteoporosis through diet, lifestyle and supplementation. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The supreme leader of the Taliban, Haibatullah Akhunzada, has called on the international community to recognise the “Islamic Emirate” of Afghanistan in a message ahead of Eid holidays without touching on the issue of girls’ education.
The Taliban-led government is yet to be recognised by any country since it returned to power last August, 20 years after it was toppled in a US-led invasion.
“Afghanistan has its role in world peace and stability. According to this need, the world should recognise the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” Akhunzada said in a written message ahead of the Eid al-Fitr holiday that marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Akhunzada said the world had become a “small village” and proper diplomatic relations would help solve the country’s problems.
In January, Afghanistan’s acting prime minister, Hasan Akhund, called on the international community to officially recognise the “Islamic Emirate” as the Taliban has been trying to end diplomatic isolation.
The Taliban had promised women’s rights and media freedom a day after it returned to power after the West-backed government of President Ashraf Ghani collapsed.
Series of blasts
But the group has faced criticism for reintroducing the hardline rule that is increasingly excluding women from public life. It has also been accused of human rights violations.
Akhunzada did not mention international demands – including reopening secondary schools for girls and inclusive government. Instead, he said recognition should come first “so that we may address our problems formally and within diplomatic norms and principles”.
The US along with western nations has frozen billions of dollars of Afghan banking assets, and cutting off of aid has caused a near-collapse of the aid-dependent economy. More than 90 percent of Afghans suffer from food shortages.
Akhunzada’s Eid message comes as the country has been rocked by a series of bomb blasts – the latest attack targeting the minority Shia Hazara community claimed by the ISIL (ISIS) group.
At least nine people were killed on Thursday in an attack against Shia Muslims in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
Akhunzada made no mention of insecurity, but said the country had been able to build “a strong Islamic and national army”, as well as “a strong intelligence organisation”.
Restoration of women’s rights
Many in the international community want humanitarian aid and recognition to be linked to the restoration of women’s rights.
Tens of thousands of women lost their government jobs after the Taliban takeover, and they have also been barred from leaving the country – or even travelling between cities – unless accompanied by a male relative.
In March, the Taliban prompted global outrage by shutting all secondary schools for girls just hours after allowing them to reopen for the first time since they took power.
Akhunzada said authorities were opening new centres and madrassas for both “religious and modern education”.
“We respect and are committed to all the Sharia rights of men and women in Afghanistan… do not use this humanitarian and emotional issue as a tool for political ends,” he said.
The Taliban supreme leader, who is based in the eastern city of Kandahar, also said the government was committed to freedom of speech according to “Islamic values”, although hundreds of news outlets have closed, public broadcasts of music banned, and movies and TV dramas featuring women taken off air.
Akhunzada, believed to be in his 70s, has been the spiritual leader of the Taliban since 2016. He succeeded Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, who was killed in a US drone strike inside Pakistan. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
1. Is It Safe To Take Fish Oil During Pregnancy?
Yes and no, since it depends on the type of fish oil you consume. There are two types of fish oil.
Fish oil taken from the body (i.e., flesh) of the fish is safe.
Oil taken from the liver of fish, i.e., cod liver oil, is not safe during pregnancy as it contains high levels of retinol (vitamin A), which puts your baby at risk of congenital disabilities
2. Balanced production of prostaglandins:
Omega-3s found in fish oil manage the production of prostaglandins that regulate blood pressure, blood clotting, inflammation and allergic responses, gastrointestinal and kidney functioning, hormone production and nerve transmission | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
1. Why It Happens
If you snore, it’s because the relaxed tissues in your throat vibrate as the air you breathe in rushes past them. About half of U.S. adults do it from time to time. Things like your weight, your health, and the shape of your mouth can make you more likely to sound like you’re sawing logs during the night.
2. How Do I Know If I Snore?
If it’s loud enough to wake your partner, you probably have heard about it. If you don’t believe them or sleep alone and want to know for sure, turn on a voice-activated recorder before you fall sleep. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Javier Milei will “Make Argentina Great Again,” the former US president has declared
Former US President Donald Trump has congratulated libertarian candidate Javier Milei on winning the Argentinian presidential election. Milei, a self-described “anarcho-capitalist,” has been compared to Trump for his brash personality and tirades against Argentina’s “political caste.”
Milei defeated Economy Minister Sergio Massa in a runoff election on Sunday, taking nearly 56% of the vote to Massa’s 44%. Milei’s 11-point victory defied pre-election opinion polls, which showed him holding only a slight lead over Massa.
“The whole world was watching! I am very proud of you. You will turn your Country around and truly Make Argentina Great Again!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Sunday.
Milei and Trump both entered politics as outsiders, vowing to dismantle the political establishment in their respective countries. His fiery speeches against Argentina’s “political caste” mirrored Trump’s invectives against the Washington, DC “swamp,” and both men won by promising to gut social spending, control inflation, and take a hardline stance against the growing power of China.
Describing himself as an “anarcho-capitalist,” Milei has promised to abolish Argentina’s central bank, swap the Argentine peso for the US dollar as the country’s official currency, and close more than half of the Argentine government’s ministries.
His victory ends almost 20 years of rule by the Peronist party, a left-wing political machine that has won ten out of the 13 presidential elections in which it has been allowed to run since 1946. Over the last decade, inflation has soared to nearly 150%, the number of Argentinians living in poverty has risen to 40%, and the peso has fallen to a record low against the US dollar.
“The model of decadence has reached its end. There is no turning back,” Milei declared in a victory speech on Sunday. “Enough of the impoverishing power of the caste. Today we once again embrace the model of liberty, to once again become a world power.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Junta Shiraishi is a high school student with one simple goal—to enjoy his youth. However, achieving this goal is not so straightforward since Shiraishi is effectively invisible to his peers; even his teachers routinely fail to notice his presence. In fact, there is a rumor circulating that whoever manages to spot him will receive good luck. But there is one person who notices Shiraishi's presence without fail. Seated right next to him, Nagisa Kubo is determined not to let him quietly fade into the background. Unfortunately for him, this means that Shiraishi finds himself in some peculiar situations, all orchestrated by Kubo. Despite this, Kubo's playful antics might just be the catalyst needed to spark the thrilling youth that Shiraishi longs for. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Broaden opportunities for people and ensure more inclusive growth across the Asia-Pacific, urged the 2020 Chair of APEC Senior Officials, host of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in 2020.
At Langkawi, site of the APEC Informal Senior Officials’ Meeting, senior officials deliberated the forum’s policy agenda for the incoming year, marked by strategies that emphasize inclusion as much as growth.
“APEC 2020 will focus on redefining the role of trade and investment from one that is solely for wealth creation to one that is also able to deliver social and economic inclusivity,” said Hairil Yahri Yaacob, Chair of APEC Senior Officials in 2020.
The policy agenda unveiled at the APEC Informal Senior Officials’ Meeting are addressed through a trio of innovative approaches.
The first priority is to restore public confidence in multilateralism, investment, and trade, which has driven the region’s growth for three decades but perceived as accelerating inequality. As part of its efforts to turn around public sentiment, APEC is exploring methods to gauge well-being other than through GDP and increasing stakeholder participation in policy discussions.
The second priority aims to foster more innovations that promote sustainability, from renewable energy to waste management and recycling strategies, defined now as the circular economy.
“APEC in the past has been shying away from these issues, openly citing that these are not economic issues. What we have to realize is that there is opportunity directly linked to sustainability,” said Yaacob, who also serves at Deputy Secretary General at Malaysia’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry. “Sustainability will become an integral discussion for APEC 2020,” added Yaacob.
The third priority of APEC 2020 is more inclusive economic participation through the digital economy. APEC faces a shortage of digitally-skilled workers, which can impact productivity growth and lead to job losses. Women, who statistically have less access to technology, are particularly vulnerable in an increasingly digital economy.
To reduce vulnerability, APEC can support more inclusive policy frameworks, skills training and constant learning, and foster engagement between entrepreneurs and investors. Among the goals of APEC 2020 are a reference for the region’s economies on the future of work in the digital age, particularly as the rate of unemployed youths in APEC is higher than the global average.
“Technology brings change, but it could also bring huge uncertainties if not managed well,” explained SOM Chair Yaacob.

Remember those amazing sculptural hands that wrapped around a building at the Venice Biennale in Italy a few years ago?
The artist of those hands, Lorenzo Quinn, is back with a new series titled 'The Force of Nature' which is a series of sculptures that depict a woman pivoting the world around with a piece of cloth. The woman, presumably Mother Nature, is swept with a gust of wind, forcefully draping her attire and hair behind her. There is a vigorous sense of motion radiating from each installation that also performs a remarkable balancing act between the Earthly sphere and its navigator.
Having displayed slightly different versions of this piece all over the world, from England and the United States to Monaco and Singapore, each sculpture provides its own sense of twirling motion without the slightest bit of physical movement. The ripples in her garment and the strain of the cloth wrapped around the globe offer enough visual clues to allow one to surmise the structure’s intended action. Ultimately, the illustrative piece offers a surreal presentation of the Earth’s rotation through a personified force of nature. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Walmart doesn't carry Conventional Oil in my car's weight and OReillys explained that they're not either, I made the jump to Synthetic. Actually, I purchased and am now running a Semi-Synthetic Valvoline Oil in the proper viscosity.
..Enjoying my Corolla
The breakdown is much slower on the synthetic. Since you have a Semi-synthetic I will recommend you to check around 3500 mile the status and color of the oil. If it is blackish or too thin (watery) change it and go full synthetic. The color changed is because the new oil is "cleaning" all the parts that has old oil residue and any possible sludge. Once you change it again enjoy the car for another 5K-7K miles. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Commission Regulation (EU) No 715/2013 of 25 July 2013

- only the waste containing the recoverable copper or copper alloys may be used as an input material,
- the hazardous waste must not be used as input, except the specific cases,
- the sawdust and chips containing liquids, such as oil or oil emulsions and barrels and containers containing or contained oil or paint, shall not be used as input material, except for the equipment coming from end-of-life vehicles,
- production and techniques processes such as:
- sorting of the copper scrap at source,
- the mechanical amendments necessary for the preparation of metal scrap for direct use,
- in the case of waste containing hazardous ingredients, specific requirements are applied.
Brief requirements under the regulation which must be fulfilled by organizations:
- to implement the management system to demonstrate the compliance with the criteria of the Regulation;

IN an example of how Australian expertise is being utilised overseas, Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) has applied its extensive iron ore experience gained in the Pilbara to Brazil.
SKM, an Australian-headquartered global project delivery, engineering and sciences firm, recently completed a Value Engineering Study for the world’s largest iron ore producer, Vale (formerly CVRD).
The scope of the $500,000 study was to optimise the current basic engineering design of Screening and Crushing facilities of a wet process Iron Ore Beneficiation Plant at Vale’s Carajas Programa 130 Mtpa mine in Brazil.
SKM’s Group Engineering Manager, John Armstrong, said that SKM was hand-picked as a single service provider from a worldwide list of firms.
“SKM was selected to undertake the study due to the firm’s outstanding practice and experience in providing operability, maintainability and reliability of plants in the Pilbara region in Western Australia,” Armstrong said. The Carajas project is an upgrade of Vale’s existing Carajas Mine Operations from 100 Mtpa to 130 Mtpa.
SKM was engaged to undertake the Value Engineering Study on the proposed new secondary and tertiary/quaternary crushing and screening facilities to identify opportunities for reducing capital and operating costs. This involved simplifying the plant by reducing the number of equipment items to decrease total maintenance effort and improve overall system availability.
The study also investigated reducing procurement and construction lead times to fit into the project timeframe. SKM has been working on iron ore projects in the Pilbara for both Rio Tinto, as part of the Rio Tinto Iron Ore Expansion Projects, and for BHP Billiton, as part of the Mine and Port Developments Joint Venture with Fluor, for more than a decade.
For the Vale project, a team from SKM’s Mining and Metals group in Perth was relocated for a month to Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
“The assignment was concluded when a delegation from Vale visited our Perth office in early November 2007, when a Final Review of the Value Engineering Study was concluded,” Armstrong said.
“We anticipate that this initial step will potentially lead to other opportunities for SKM to get involved with Vale, at which time SKM’s extensive network of global offices will be an integral part of a pool of expertise to support and consolidate our work with this valuable client.”

BMW 3 Series voted most reliable car in the UK
BMW's biggest selling model range, the 3 Series, has been voted the most reliable car in a survey of Britain's vehicle leasing companies. The poll, which covered the reliability history of nearly 900,000 vehicles in 2008, also revealed that BMW was the most reliable manufacturer overall.
In an historic win over the Japanese car manufacturers who traditionally dominate in reliability surveys, BMW topped the charts in this year's annual FN50 reliability survey. The BMW 3 Series was the most rated model for reliability, with the MINI hatch and BMW 1 Series also making the top ten, sitting fifth and seventh most reliable respectively.
The survey compiled by Fleet News looked at multi-marque leasing companies. 881,000 cars were assessed according to the number of breakdowns per 100 of each type of model on each leasing company's fleet. Points were then awarded according to the number of times that brands or particular models appeared in the tables supplied by the leasing firms and also for the position in which they were placed.
BMW honoured for EfficientDynamics News of BMW's success in the FN50 reliability survey comes swiftly after the marque won a trio of important environmental awards in recognition of its EfficientDynamics technologies.
The Energy Saving Trust staged the 2008 Fleet Hero Awards to idenitify companies that have gone to impressive lengths to cut down on fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. BMW was announced the winner in the ‘Industry supplier' category for the introduction of EfficientDynamics. Meanwhile, BMW picked up two awards in the GreenFleet Awards 2008. The marque was presented with ‘Car Manufacturer of the Year' in honour of its innovative engineering solutions to modern day motoring issues and ‘Green Marketing Campaign of the Year' for its accurate and effective promotion.

F# is a fun and mature functional-first programming language for the .NET platform. Taking the first steps to learn a new language can be daunting, so in this post, we'll give some pointers on where to start.
Getting started with F#
The JVM has a long tradition for hosting other lanugages than Java, and it even has some functional languages like Scala, Kotlin and Eta (Haskell). For CLR (.NET), there aren't as many choices, but the one it has is mature and a joy to use.
Description from fsharp.org
F# is a mature, open source, cross-platform, functional-first programming language. It empowers users and organizations to tackle complex computing problems with simple, maintainable and robust code.
And from Wikipedia
F# is a language in the ML-family, but borrows from other languages as well. While multi-paradigm, it has been designed to make functional programming the preferred paradigm. It is a very practical language with great interop with .NET and C#, so all the APIs and libraries you already know can be used. It has also always been developed in the open, and has a strong open-source community around it.
Several features of F# should also be somewhat familiar to modern C# programmers as C# has borrowed/been inspired by several features from F#. Async/await, pattern matching and records to name a few. I salute C# for these efforts, but it's difficult to retroactively add such features in a non-breaking way while gaining all the benefits. So these new features have a much cleaner design in F#, and there are yet features C# haven't gained.
While there might be areas where F# especially shine, for me, it's a general purpose language which fits business applications really well. It makes it easy to model domains in a way that's easy to read and reason about, while being robust and easy to change. Scott Wlaschin has a serie on Why Use F# which I wont try to replicate here, but might act as a nice starting point to see some of the benefits of the language and paradigm. If you're more into examples, my upcoming post about functional architecture (broken link until December 22nd) will demo an application using several key F# features to model a pure, functional architecture.
Everyone takes a different approach to learning, so I won't try to teach F# here, but rather give some links to work as possible starting points.
The main entry-point for F# would be the main website, fsharp.org. This is a treasure trove of links, and I'm pretty sure you can find direct links for everything I'm posting here from that site. From the about page, you'll find links to guides and more.
The quickest way to test code is using one of the online environments like the old try.fsharp.org or the newer tryfsharp.fsbolero.io, which is made with Bolero (Blazor for F#). For those wishing to use a local editor, there are plenty of editors available, with popular choices being Visual Studio (remember to enable it), Project Rider, Ionide for VSCode and Vim and fsharp-mode for Emacs.
The latest version, F# 5.0, which was released together with .NET 5.0, and had a strong focus on interactive programming (see .NET Interactive), so you can use Jupyter notebook, nteract and VSCode Notebooks. Together with it's static type system, and easy and terse syntax, it's a good fit data analysts and non-developers.
When I first started with functional programming and F#, I found Scott Wlaschins F# for fun and profit was filled with indispensable resources, and probably one of the biggest reasons I really got into FP.
In addition to fsharp.org, Microsoft is officially supporting the language, and therefore also has plenty of resources from the entrypoint at dot.net.
While you can use all .NET libraries, there are also plenty of libraries which has been created to play on the strengths of F#. fsharp.org has a nice overview of the community and the projects with links to important projects, the F# Community Project Incubation Space and the Awesome F# list (which has additional links at the bottom).
To stay up to date on what's going on in the F# world, I follow Sergey Tihons F# Weekly, which is a nice and thorough weekly aggregation.
So hopefully this will give you something to look at and play with if you're interested in a mature, practical and fun programming language. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
As a student finishing up studies, you will soon begin to interact with the government and the law in myriad ways. From voting to applying for a license to engage in your career or complying with other regulatory entities, the government is an ever-present part of our lives as citizens.
We want students to explore how the society-impacting changes in the law, and in the way people interact with the law, can help and hinder them in the future. That’s why Bertolino LLP initiated our Bertolino Impact In Government Scholarship.
One winner will be awarded $2,500 toward their ongoing education. Students have until June 1st, 2025, at 11:00 PM CT to submit their applications.
Who Is Eligible?
The Bertolino Impact In Government Scholarship is open to any undergraduate or graduate student who can meet the following criteria.
- GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Enrolled in or accepted at an accredited college, university, or graduate school in the United States
- Agree to the scholarship terms and conditions
- Submit the necessary application materials
How to Apply?
Please review the eligibility requirements carefully and then craft a video between 1 and 2 minutes on the scholarship topic provided below.
Once your video is complete, make sure to go through this checklist:
- Fill out the application form on this page.
- Upload a copy of your unofficial transcript.
- Add a URL link to your video touching on all of the scholarship topic’s essential elements.
- Submit proof of enrollment/acceptance to an accredited college/ university/ graduate school (Student ID; Letter of Acceptance; etc.).
Change is constant and always shaping our future. With this in mind, Bertolino LLP invites students to complete videos between 1 and 2 minutes discussing the following question:
“How will the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions and the current makeup of the Supreme Court change what the future regulatory world looks like in 50 years?”
Upon scripting, shooting, and editing their videos, students should post them as unlisted videos on YouTube. Students can then submit a link to their video through the form available on this page.
For the videos to be considered eligible students are required to:
- Record their videos in well-lit areas while holding their recording device of choice as still as possible.
- Mention their full name and the name of the scholarship they are applying for either at the beginning or at the end of their video and give credits as necessary.
- Specify any sources of information and the media editing tools used in crafting and creating their videos in the description of the video.
- Use only copyright-free content, and come up with a creative, catchy title that reflects their ideas.
Students are free to use media editing tools, like Adobe Creative Cloud, to include images, stock shots, effects, or clean cuts in their content, but they are not compulsory. Bertolino LLP intends to award this scholarship based on the quality of a video’s script and not a student’s demonstrable video editing skills. Therefore, students should take time and care crafting the speech for their video before sitting down to create it.
While students can use AI to generate B-roll footage for their videos, the text/story that they share should be read in their own voices/produced by themselves. Any usage of AI platforms or tools to help them automatically generate videos, and the usage of fake actors is strictly prohibited and will lead to automatic disqualification.
We will begin accepting applications on November 1st, 2024 at 9:00 AM CT.
The deadline to apply is June 1st, 2025, at 11:00 PM CT.
This is a hard deadline. Applications received after the deadline will not be taken into consideration.
After the deadline, all submissions will be reviewed by our Scholarship Selection Committee. Depending on the number of applications we receive, the decision process can take up to three months or more.
For legal reasons, we are unable to accept calls regarding the scholarship. All the necessary details about this scholarship can be found above. Please provide your contact information in the application form so that we can get in touch with you if we require additional information or verification.
Please email [email protected] for additional information about the scholarship.
Future winners of our scholarship will be interviewed for a blog post and press release following their win. You may read these posts and watch the videos of previous winners below. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Manchester United – Fulham
Manchester United host Fulham at their Old Trafford on Matchday 37. on Tuesday night. United head into the match after two consecutive home losses – from Leicester and Liverpool. A win for Manchester United will secure second place in the standings. Harry McGuire and Martial are expected to miss the match due to injuries.
Fulham, on the other hand, failed to secure the Premier League survival, with the team collecting only 27 points in the process. They have recorded seven losses in the last eight games. In the last 13 matches between Manchester United and Fulham, the hosts have won eleven of them and twice ended in a draw. In the first game of the season in London, Red Devils won 2-1.
Our prediction is for an United win and over 2,5 goals.
This match will be played on 18/05/2021 at 20:00. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
A father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarreling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it. He next opened the faggot, took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into his sons' hands, upon which they broke them easily. He then addressed them in these words:
"My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks." | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes, and the spirit of God came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4 He hath said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign-aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar-trees beside the waters.
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brought him forth from Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall rouse him? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee to great honor; but lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honor.
12 And Balaam said to Balak, Did I not speak also to thy messengers whom thou sentest to me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
14 And now, behold, I go to my people: come therefore, I will advertise thee what this people will do to thy people in the latter days.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 He hath said, who heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the Most High, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his latter end shall be that he shall perish for ever.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwelling-place, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Nevertheless, the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asher shall carry thee away captive.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Ashur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25 And Balaam arose, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The ad, placed in repeated issues of BAR, features a picture taken at a lecture given by Tel Aviv University professor Yuval Goren reporting on his excavation at Tel Socoh, about 29 miles southeast of Tel Aviv. In the picture, Professor Goren stands beside a screen showing a mechanical excavator, often referred to as a backhoe or bulldozer, in operation at the site.
In the latest version of the ad, the picture is headed: “Cater-Pillaging—The Stratigraphy of Tel Socoh,” a pun on the name of the Caterpillar company that manufactures bulldozers, backhoes and similar equipment, and characterizes Professor Goren’s excavation as pillaging.
The advertisement in BAR was paid for by Robert Deutsch, a leading Israeli antiquities dealer, a Haifa University lecturer who earned his PhD at Tel Aviv University, a former member of the staff of Tel Aviv University’s excavation at Megiddo, a sometime BAR author and a recently acquitted defendant in the famous forgery trial in Jerusalem clearing him of all charges.
The use of mechanical equipment in a professional archaeological excavation is usually considered a cardinal sin, although it is permitted in some circumstances, such as the clearing of topsoil, not involving actual archaeological excavation.
Professor Goren maintains in a statement that his use of a backhoe occurred not on the tell at Tel Socoh, but “in a valley south to it,” where he had found “waste remains of a ceramic workshop.” His first attack on this area (Area B) was to measure standard 5x 5 meter squares, one of which can be seen in the picture, followed by careful excavation by hand. After a week of digging and finding nothing, Goren decided to finish the job with “a [mechanical] digger to make sure that no archaeological remains existed at what was apparently virgin soil.”
The statement by Tel Aviv University archaeologists states that “There was no use of a mechanical excavator on Tel Socoh. The slide shown in the ad illustrates work carried out in a wadi (valley) near the mound, as a sequel to a systematic manual excavation from the surface. . . This is a common method in archaeology.”
“Is it in the wadi?” Deutsch responds. “Or is it on the slope of the tell,” where it is clear from the picture that the excavation was begun in a standard five-meter square? Deutsch adds that if, as Goren claims, it is so common to use these mechanical diggers, why is it that in 20 years at Megiddo, the university’s major excavation where he worked, he never saw a bulldozer, “not on the tell and not on the lower terraces.”
Perhaps some of our readers who are better informed on archaeological practice will weigh in on whether bulldozers are justified—or common—in the circumstances described at Tel Socoh.

In light of the increasing smartphone penetration in the country and growing popularity of internet access via the mobile phone, Globe Telecom looks at its mobile browsing business to bolster business growth and sustain momentum amidst an increasingly competitive and mature mobile market.
According to Globe President and CEO Ernest Cu, the company’s mobile browsing segment became the fastest-growing product line in Globe in the first quarter of 2013 with a robust double-digit growth in revenues year-on-year, outpacing the already phenomenal revenue growth of its postpaid and broadband businesses. Mobile browsing and other data revenues now account for 13% of total mobile revenues, up from 12% in 4Q12 and 10% in 1Q12.
Responding to the growing demand for instant access to social networking accounts on mobile, Globe beefed up its mobile browsing plans SuperFB for prepaid subscribers and AstigFB for TM subscribers by offering longer denomination variants at a much affordable price. For only P15, Globe prepaid and TM subscribers can now enjoy unlimited access to Facebook on mobile for 2 days. The 1-day variant is available for P10.
For users who browse other sites aside from Facebook, Globe boosted its data plan offerings with PowerSurf Megabytes, or mobile browsing plans that give prepaid and postpaid subscribers bulk megabytes (MB) of mobile data that is consumable per kilobyte (KB). With PowerSurfMB, subscribers only pay for actual data used. This means subscribers can comfortably leave their mobile data connection enabled and enjoy features like push notifications or background syncing without accumulating an expensive bill.
Prepaid subscribers can choose from the following affordable PowerSurf plans: 20MB for P15 valid for 1 day, 50MB for P30 also valid for 1 day, and 100MB for P50 valid for 3 days. Prepaid and Postpaid subscribers looking for plans with higher MB allocation and longer validity can avail of the following 30-day PowerSurf variants: 50MB for only P99, 300 MB for only P299, and 1GB for only P499.
Finally, first-time users can take advantage of the telco’s Plan Profiler and Device Simulator available on the Globe Mobile Internet portal (http://surf.globe.com.ph) to learn more about mobile browsing. The Data Plan Profiler (http://surf.globe.com.ph/profiler/index) provides questions for users to find out their total mobile data usage and the perfect data plan based on their profile and needs. On the other hand, the Device Simulator (http://surf.globe.com.ph/tools/device-simulator) allows users to set-up mobile internet access such as e-mail configuration, managing push notifications, syncing social networking accounts, and manually adjust settings.
“We are happy to see how our mobile browsing business has grown and how our offers have seen strong take-up among subscribers. Gone are the days when mobile browsing is feared by many because of billshock or the lack of understanding on how it works. With the growing penchant of Filipinos for smartphones and instant internet access, we are seeing a bright potential for mobile browsing as the next big thing for Globe and the industry in general,” said Jenny Granada-Echevarria, Head of Globe Mobile Data Services.
Providing strong backend support to its mobile browsing offers is the completion of the first phase of the company’s massive network modernization program. To date, over 60% of the Globe network is already running on 4G HSPA+ which provides faster mobile browsing experience for customers. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A Brief Book Notice from Books At a Glance
by Kristin Stiles
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s a question that is asked of every child. Some quickly respond with their aspirations while others don’t have a clue. Wouldn’t it be great, though, if your child responded by saying, “I want to be someone who does great things for God”? How do we as parents plant and cultivate the seeds of that desire in our little ones? One way is to provide them real life stories of people who through the power of the Holy Spirit did, in fact, do great things for God. The biographies provided in this series for 4-11 year olds can inspire and encourage your children to aim for something much greater than just a career when they grow up.
The Do Great Things for God series currently consists of nine titles, with the tenth soon to be available for order. These books tell the stories of women who were used by God to take the gospel around the world despite obstacles and various difficulties. The women featured so far are Gladys Aylward, Betty Greene, Corrie ten Boom, Helen Roseveare, Maria Fearing, Amy Carmichael, Fanny Crosby, Queen Elizabeth II, and Betsey Stockton. As you can see from the list, some are quite familiar while others are not. These women represent a vast array of socio-economic statuses, cultures, influences, and ambitions. But they all share a love and devotion for Christ and a desire to serve Him with their lives.
The stories are presented in simple language with delightful illustrations. Following the stories, each book provides a photograph of the woman and a timeline with a bit more detail. The newer additions to the series also have these added sections: Questions to Think About; World Map; and Interact with ________’s Story. There is a QR code and a link that takes you to free resources that you can download. These include worksheets for 4-7 year olds and for 7-11 year olds, a family project, and a beautifully formatted verse that is featured in the story. These free resources are available for all nine of the titles at thegoodbook.com/kids-resources. I would highly recommend these for homeschooling families or for Sunday School teachers who would like to have the children interact more with the stories.
These books are absolutely delightful and it was a pleasure to read each one. I appreciate the thought and care that went into choosing the women and in presenting their stories. This series would be a wonderful benefit to your home or church library.

DO GREAT THINGS FOR GOD (SERIES) | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The first thing you will notice about the book is the beautiful illustrations that are available on each page, whether they be a full page or a little something added to the corner of the text.
The story is based around Lucy and her two little pixie friends, Ping and Pong who live in her hallway clock. It is Christmas time and Lucy is busy putting up her tree and asks Ping and Pong whether they would like to come and take a look. It is then that Lucy explains about Santa and how he only visits once a year but only if she is sleeping.
After listening to her Grandparents read her Christmas stories she asks if she can stay up to see Santa when he arrives. Her mum explains that she can’t stay up to wait for Santa as he only visits if you are sleeping. With a knowing glance given to Ping and Pong Lucy goes to bed leaving them to wait for Santa on her behalf.
You’ll have to read the story to see whether Ping and Pong stay awake long enough to meet Santa and whether they have an amazing Christmas adventure.
Boo Roo and Tigger Too’s thoughts…
Roo really likes stories about fairies and pixies so took to the characters of Ping and Pong easily. At six years old she was able to read almost all of the story herself, which Tigger in turn enjoyed listening to.
At a RRP of £6.99 I think that the book offers good value for money and would make a lovely little Christmas gift (I’m the person who buys children books and PJ’s for Christmas). | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

There’s another round this week to a catastrophism story that seemed once to have all the ingredients for a single, big media splash. It should then have, perhaps, elicited follow-ups moving the ball forward. But like Comet Shoemaker-Levy that broke up and dribbled into Jupiter in near-identical (and spectacular to be sure) pieces, the evidence that a comet burst over or into N. America 12,900 years ago, wiping out mammoths and more, has bobbed up and down looking pretty much the same each time.
It’s getting less attention this time, but a few reporters have it. The Boston Globe‘s Colin Nickerson had it in yesterday (Tuesday May 25), describing the carnage that would’ve been left by the hypothesized force of million of hydrogen bombs lighting off in the atmosphere as the comet or other body broke up and some pieces smacked the earth — or the Laurentide ice sheet. A platoon or two of researchers is behind it. They say it may be why megafauna and the Clovis culture blinked out so fast. The sedimentary evidence is broad and intriguing.
They unveiled the idea last May at a large AGU meeting in Acapulco. The BBC and Observer in the UK jumped the gun with advance stories so the press conferences — lightly attended in any case — generated only a few more pieces. New Scientist also did it about then too. The Washington Post did it a few weeks later. Science magazine had a good news analysis a short while later. Discover Mag had a shorty too. The current attention comes as it’s out again this week in the current Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Absent in nearly all the stories in this string is a strong effort to learn what researchers other than the authors think of this daring piece of evidence stitchery. Nickerson presents the idea well, and gets in one skeptical remark at the bottom. But he treats the story as though it is just now breaking. At least one more news kerplunk is heading our way soon. National Geographic TV has a special on the great American extinction due for broadcast on October 7. Maybe N. Geo will give it a dose of gimlet eye. This is such a cool idea it deserves a deeper analysis in the popular media. So far, it’s been groundhog day.
This article was originally published on Boston Globe, etc. get in line: Another news bump for word of a N. American, Pleistocene fauna slaughtering comet or asteroid blast | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

Product suites or point solutions? It’s an age-old question for IT leaders - and with so many options available on the market, it can be difficult to decipher what works best for your organisation.
Do you really need specific, standalone solutions, or are you better suited to a single, trusted vendor, who provides overall value? One thing is certain, vendor consolidation means one login, simplification of the admin experience, a one stop shop for product support, and a single bill to pay. When you consolidate your vendors, costs are consolidated too.
Ultimately, what it comes down to is trust. Trust is the single most important factor to consider, and the prime benefit of vendor consolidation is that it means only one relationship to build, and only one technology partner to trust.
Join us in this session as we discuss:
- The benefits of vendor consolidation
- Choosing the right solution for your business
- Creating an IT provider checklist - what should you be looking for?
- How to simplify your workflows

Recent deals have included advising the management sellers of CARE Fertility (CARE) on the sale of the entire issued share capital of CARE, acting on the acquisition of Genesis Health Care LLP, advising on funding provided to Dovehaven Care Homes, a North West care home group, and advising specialist healthcare services private equity investor, Weight Partners Capital on its investment in Grosvenor Health and Social Care.

Calif. Voters Back Bid To Toughen Consumer Privacy Law
Law360, November 4, 2020
By Allison Grande
California voters have approved a ballot initiative to strengthen the state's landmark consumer privacy law, starting the clock for companies to implement enhanced data control rights for their users by 2023.
Tom Foulkes, senior director of state advocacy at trade group BSA: The Software Alliance, called the passage of Prop 24 "another important step in the critical and growing discussion about finding the right set of protections for consumers and obligations on businesses."
"We are certain other states, and the new Congress, will have more to say on this in 2021," Foulkes said. "We look forward to working with legislators in the coming months to get this right for consumers and businesses."
BSA | The Software Alliance (www.bsa.org) is the leading advocate for the global software industry before governments and in the international marketplace. Its members are among the world’s most innovative companies, creating software solutions that help businesses of all sizes in every part of the economy to modernize and grow.

MANILA – Workers led by Kilusang Mayo Uno, Anakpawis Partylist, Piston Partylist, Ka Bel’s family and the local government leaders of Manila celebrated the 80th birthday of the late Crispin “Ka Bel” Beltran by offering wreaths, remembrances and vows to emulate his examples in the marker dedicated to him in Plaza Miranda, Manila.
Regarding Ka Bel as a hero, a legend and a model, Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim vowed to work for the building of the labor leader’s life-sized statue, from his own pocket, he said. Lim honored Ka Bel who, he said, had “resolutely opposed the destructive neoliberal policies of globalization, privatization and liberalization” and in Congress “fought for the people’s right to live in dignity.”
Like Bayan Muna Partylist Rep. Teddy Casiño, Mayor Lim especially praised Ka Bel’s incorruptibility and how Ka Bel had chosen not to enrich himself even as a congressman. “He truly had not taken advantage of his position,” Lim said.
“Members of Congress and people like me should remember and follow his example,” Lim declared.
George San Mateo, chairman of Piston, said that Ka Bel had a “special affinity to drivers because he was once a driver himself.”
Ka Bel and Ka (Medardo) Roda, leader of Piston were good friends and had shared so much as taxi drivers and unionists. They were also both imprisoned during the 1982 crackdown on unions.
“Ka Bel did not just express his support, he was with us during transport strikes,” San Mateo said. Which was why he remembered Ka Bel, he said, when Bayan Muna Rep. Teddy Casiño joined them at their Sept. 19 transport strike. Then transportation secretary Mar Roxas called the striking drivers “perwisyo” (problem), to which “Casiño shot back: ‘It’s the oil companies that are perwisyo.’”

What an incredible home for two of our very special clients from Charlotte. They initially had wanted a 'second home' to get away from the hustle and bustle work they do out of state, and had honed in on a few different areas of consideration in Mount Pleasant, Kiawah, and Seabrook Island. Well, Seabrook Island won and they found one heck of a deal (and a foreclosure in great condition!).
Our buyers were looking in the million dollar price range, and wanted a house which they could come to, and just "unwind". Seabrook Island fit the bill in a number of ways:
- Seabrook Island is a beautiful location, 45 minutes to downtown Charleston, and an island community along the ocean.
- It is a quiet destination with golf, tennis, horseback riding, and plenty of…

Corn chips or pizza? Why not have both with the new Doritos Pizza Hut BBQ Meatlovers Corn Chips!
In a new collaboration Doritos has worked closely with the team at Pizza Hut to pack the iconic BBQ Meatlovers pizza taste – streaky bacon, smoked ham, pepperoni, Italian sausage, lightly seasoned beef and mozzarella and rich BBQ sauce – into its corn chips.
This isn’t the first time the two brands have teamed up to deliver a bold new flavour. The launch of Doritos Crunchy Crust Pizza in 2014 sent Doritos and Pizza Hut fans into a frenzy, and Doritos anticipates this latest collaboration will bring even more excitement to snacking.
Sheri Juchau, Doritos senior marketing manager, said: “We are excited about our partnership with Pizza Hut to create Doritos Pizza Hut BBQ Meatlovers Flavoured Corn Chips – a flavour experience that is as bold as it is tasty. It takes snacking to a new level that will excite consumers and unleash brand and category growth.”
Doritos Pizza Hut BBQ Meatlovers Flavoured Corn Chips is available in 80g and 150g pack sizes.
The 150g pack will be initially available exclusively in Woolworths stores and Pizza Hut outlets, however, distribution will be expanded to other retail outlets later in the year. An 80g pack will be available initially exclusively in Woolworths Petrol outlets and then rolled out nationally.
Doritos Pizza Hut BBQ Meatlovers Corn Chips will be available in Pizza Hut stores and online at http://www.pizzahut.com.au from July 12.
The launch will be supported with a range of activities including digital and social activation as well as catalogue and in store support. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
On January 12, an appeals court in Cameroon rejected legal efforts to secure the release of Olivier Bibou Nissack and Alain Fogue Tedom, two prominent members of the country’s main opposition party, Cameroon Renaissance Movement (Mouvement pour la renaissance du Cameroun, MRC), as well as twenty other MRC members. They were arrested in September 2020 while exercising their right to freedom of assembly and have been in custody since.
The court’s decision came after a lower court rejected a habeas corpus request filed by the defendants on November 5, 2020.
Nissack and Fogue face politically motivated charges including attempted revolution, rebellion, and unlawful assembly. They were first held in police custody for over a month at the Secrétariat d’Etat à la Défense (SED), in Yaoundé, before being transferred to Yaoundé central prison on November 3 for a six-month pretrial detention period. At SED, they were kept in total isolation, deprived of any reading materials, and frequently denied access to their lawyers.
Nissack and Fogue were arrested as part of a massive government crackdown on peaceful demonstrations organized by the MRC on September 22 across Cameroon, which included the arrest of over 500 people, mainly MRC members and supporters.
Many peaceful protesters were beaten while being arrested and in detention. “The police beat me with truncheons,” a 39-year-old MRC member arrested in Douala told Human Rights Watch. “I spent nine days at the judicial police jail, sleeping on the floor and without access to my lawyers.”
Of the over 500 arrested, at least 136 remain in detention, 20 of whom have been convicted and sentenced to prison by civilian courts, according to the MRC’s lawyers.
“In Cameroon’s criminal justice system, habeas corpus requests appear to have lost their value as individuals who are presumed innocent are systematically deprived of their liberty,” Menkem Sother, a lawyer for Nissack said.
MRC leader Maurice Kamto continues to dispute the 2018 presidential election results which confirmed the victory of President Paul Biya, who has been in power for 38 years.
Cameroonian authorities should respect people’s right to demonstrate peacefully, immediately release those wrongfully held, and investigate law enforcement’s conduct in the 2020 crackdown and treatment of detainees.

Ex-Portsmouth Defender At Centre Of Match-Fixing Claims
9 December 2013, 07:10 | Updated: 30 March 2016, 13:50
Six people remain in custody after being arrested in connection with a second investigation into football spot-fixing, following allegations that an ex-Portsmouth player rigged a Championship game for cash.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said it acted after being passed information by the Sun on Sunday newspaper.
The tabloid reported that an undercover investigator met ex-Pompey defender Sam Sodje, who allegedly said he could arrange for footballers in the Championship to get themselves a yellow card in return for tens of thousands of pounds.
The 34-year-old also claimed he could rig Premier League games and even said he was preparing to fix matches at next year's World Cup in Brazil, the newspaper reported.
Detectives from the NCA were still questioning the six men this morning.
Richard Bevan, chief executive of the League Managers' Association, said the organisation had debated match-fixing on previous occasions.
He told The Sun:
"What is important is that The FA, Premier League and Football League continue to make sure our game is continuing to move forward.
"Whether it is cricket or football all around the world there are issues in this 24/7 internet and social media world that puts a lot of pressure on.
"There needs to be really strong leadership at the top.''
Responding to the claims about Sodje yesterday, Portsmouth FC spokesman Colin Farmery said:
"If these serious allegations are true then we are extremely shocked and saddened by them, as match-fixing of any type goes to the heart of the integrity of the game.
"The player in question no longer plays for the club and we have not been contacted by the authorities, but of course we would cooperate fully with any inquiry.''
An NCA spokeswoman said:
"An active NCA investigation is now underway and we are working closely with the Football Association and the Gambling Commission.
"Six people are in custody and are being questioned by NCA officers. We cannot comment further at this stage.''
The NCA is already carrying out a separate investigation into an alleged international illegal betting syndicate.
Michael Boateng and Hakeem Adelakun, both 22, were charged last week with conspiracy to defraud contrary to common law.
The pair, who played for Conference South club Whitehawk FC in Brighton, were dismissed by their club and will appear in court on Wednesday.
Two other men, Chann Sankaran, 33, from Hastings, East Sussex, and Krishna Sanjey Ganeshan, 43, from Singapore, were charged last month with plotting to defraud bookmakers and will also appear in court this week.
Speaking about the latest reports, Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey said:
"We treat any allegations of criminal activity in our competitions with the utmost seriousness.''
In a statement, the Football Association said:
"The FA is aware of the National Crime Agency investigation and is working closely with the NCA and other authorities. We will make no further comment at this time.''
A Gambling Commission spokesman said:
"The Gambling Commission has responded quickly in supporting this ongoing National Crime Agency investigation and continues to liaise with both the NCA and the Football Association.''
The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) said:
"These allegations, if proven, unfortunately demonstrate the real issue football faces in terms of corruption and highlights the necessity of the work carried out by the PFA and other stakeholders in the game in educating players of these risks.
"We take the issue of integrity very seriously and will continue in our efforts to eradicate this evil from our game.
"In terms of these specific reports, due to the ongoing investigation by the National Crime Agency, we are unable to comment further at this time.'' | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The Malawi National Council of Sports-MNCS is planning to start scouting for talent in various sporting disciplines for upcoming international games.
This comes as various stakeholders are taking stock of the Region 5 Youth Games that Malawi recently hosted.
MNCS came under heavy criticism on social media based over team Malawi’s performance at the games as the host nation, citing presence of average performers in a number of sporting disciplines.
As hosts of the 10th edition, Malawi staged an average performance, finishing on the 6th place with 8 gold medals, 10 silver and 26 bronze.
However, brushing off the criticism the Council’s publicist Edgar Ntulumbwa in an earlier interview with Capital FM described the efforts by the home side as exceptional, citing an improvement in performance from last year’s competitions.
“We surpassed our previous record set in Lesotho last year and now we’re planning on surpassing the record we have set on home soil,” he said.
Capital FM also engaged Former Malawi Olympic Committee Chairperson Oscar Kanjala who has suggested that apart from talent identification, sports authorities should also nurture the talent for such events.
“Such youth games are an opportunity for young talent to perfect their skills as they grow. In my opinion, the sports council should take time to identify raw talent across the country,” Kanjala recommended.
However a sports journalist from MIJ FM radio, Joseph Dumbula has cited lack of seriousness in preparing for such competitions as the main contributing factor to the lackluster performance by the Malawi team.
He cites the as an example the controversial ‘somersaults’ (chipidigolilo) as an indication of lack of direction and preparedness for such games in the Gymnastics category.
“The Malawi National Council of Sports should start focusing more on individual sport disciplines that can guarantee success aside from football and netball.
“We have got a lot of individual sports in the country which need the attention of the authorities apart from team sports which seem to be much focused on however, the sports authorities must look into the fact that such competitions require all disciplines to take part,” Dumbula explained
Meanwhile, Ntulumbwa states that talent identification is a process which the council is committed to before the forthcoming games.
Mozambique will be hosting the 11th edition of the Region 5 Youth Games, next year. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The amount of research that exists on vitamin C is quite extensive, yet this vitamin’s potential benefit on cognitive function may not be the first thing that comes to mind. A study published earlier this month in Frontiers in Aging Neurosceince, brought this topic to light. Here, researchers demonstrated a significant association between plasma vitamin C levels and performance on tasks involving attention, focus, working memory, decision speed, delayed and total recall, and recognition.
This cross-sectional study included 81 healthy individuals ages 24 to 96 years of age with a range of plasma vitamin C concentrations. Cognitive assessments included The Swinburne-University-Computerized-Cognitive-Assessment-Battery (SUCCAB) and two pen and paper tests as well as the Symbol-Digits-Modalities-Test (SDMT) and Hopkins-Verbal-Learning-Test-Revised (HVLT-R). Individuals were divided into two groups: those with a plasma vitamin C level of greater than 28 μmol/L (considered adequate) and those less than 28 μmol/L (considered deficient).
The SUCCAB assessment identified a significantly higher performance ratio in the group with adequate vitamin C levels compared to those in the deficient group on reaction time, immediate recognition memory, and delayed recognition tasks. There were significantly higher scores in immediate recall on the HVLT-R, delayed recall, total recall in those with adequate plasma vitamin C concentrations. Similar results were seen on the SDMT. Hence, the researchers were able to report a significant association between vitamin C concentrations and the cognitive tasks they set out to examine.
Previous research has shown that patients with Alzheimer’s disease, who greatly need protection against oxidative damage, have considerably lower plasma levels of folate, vitamin B12, and vitamin C. (It is important to note that vitamin C and folate concentrations are much higher in the brain than in the plasma.)
Vitamin C should be assessed and supplemented accordingly and incorporated in the diet in all individuals, but especially in patients at risk for cognitive decline. Since humans cannot synthesize their own vitamin C, it is common to have insufficient levels, especially in older individuals with chronic disease. Vitamin C levels found in the tissues of the brain and muscle may be reduced to 25% of that of childhood. Serum vitamin C or oxidative stress markers that look at the functional need for water-soluble antioxidants such as 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) should be considered as part of a comprehensive assessment.

Folate, or vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient found in many foods, including vegetables, beans, fruits, nuts, meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs. Reactions involving folate are important to every system of the body. Folate supports neurological function, healthy cellular energy metabolism, cellular repair and function, and healthy fetal development. It is essential for neural tube development. It is also critical to the methylation cycle.
Methylation is a type of biochemical reaction that facilitates certain critical functions of the human body. It refers to the movement of a methyl group through key pathways in the body. Methylation is critical for DNA synthesis and repair, cellular energy metabolism, nerve cell structure and function, and red blood cell production. It may also influence epigenetics, which refers to changes in the DNA molecule that do not alter the sequence but can still lead to differences in gene expression, potentially leading to different health outcomes. Some nutrients associated with the regulation of biochemical pathways of methylation include certain amino acids and vitamins B12, folate, and B6.
A recently published study by Lin and colleagues explored the role of periconceptual supplementation with folic acid, an oxidized form of folate, on newborn birth weights. Periconceptual is defined as the 12 weeks before and the 12 weeks after the last menstrual period. Information was analyzed for more than 30,000 births. The newborns of pregnant participants who had received folic acid, alongside multiple micronutrients, had a comparatively lower risk of birthing small gestational age (SGA) infants and a higher median birth weight.
The role of supplementation with folate beyond the periconceptual phase has also been explored by research. A recently published study by Ondičová and colleagues explored the impact of supplementation with folic acid on DNA methylation and the parameters related to cognitive and psychological outcomes during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
The study by Ondičová and colleagues used data from the cord blood from more than 80 samples after birth. Pregnant study participants received 400 mcg of daily folic acid supplementation during the second and third trimesters and were compared to a group of participants who received a placebo; children from the group of birth parents who received the folic acid supplementation had significant improvements in cognitive performance, including language processing and psychosocial development. Folic acid supplementation was also shown to affect the DNA methylation of specific classes of genes related to brain development when compared to the placebo.
Research indicates that certain bioidentical forms of folate may be superior to folic acid supplementation. For instance, [6S] 5-methyltetrahydrofolate ([6S]5-MTHF) is a bioidentical form of folate that has been shown in animal studies to have improved bioavailability in oral use, high solubility in water, and long-lasting stability when compared with folic acid.
Folate may play a supportive role throughout all trimesters of pregnancy. It may also support the methylation process, cellular health, and healthy cognition.

NOTE: For general information on eligibility and how the DC pension plan and TFSA work, please refer to the Overview section.
How to enroll – DC pension plan
If you’re ready to enroll in the Canadian Baptist Pension Plan (CBPP), here’s what to do:
- Contact your Treasurer (or your local HR Representative) to start your enrollment.
- Your Treasurer (or your local HR Representative) will give you a Guest ID and password for My Canada Life at Work. Tip: You need to do this even if you’re already registered for your benefits plan.
- Log in to My Canada Life at Work.
- Create your own log in credentials.
- Access your new account.
If you have your benefits plan with Canada Life, your accounts will be tied when you log in, so you’ll be able to see and access both in the same place.
Additional voluntary contributions (AVCs)
Every little bit helps. You can make additional voluntary contributions by payroll deduction, in any amount you choose.
And, you can start, change or stop making additional voluntary contributions at any time. If your employer agrees, you may choose to contribute a lump sum amount instead of having monthly payroll deductions.
Talk to your Treasurer (or your local HR Representative) to learn how to set this up to increase your savings – and grow your retirement income in the future.
IMPORTANT NOTE about contribution limits:
In accordance with the Canadian Income Tax Act, the total of all contributions (including those made by your employer) to the DCPP in any year can’t exceed the lesser of 18% of your compensation and the money purchase limit for that calendar year.
You and your employer are responsible for making sure your voluntary contributions don’t exceed the contribution limit. Unlike your basic contributions, voluntary contributions can be withdrawn at any time.
Transfers from other plans
You may want to take advantage of the CBPP’s easy investment options and very low fees by moving your assets from a pension arrangement with a prior employer (such as another Registered Pension Plan, an RRSP or Spousal RRSP) into the CBPP.
Provided the prior plan allows for transfers, it’s usually just a form to fill out and sign.
Here’s how to find the form:
- Log in to My Canada Life at Work > Info centre > For Savings > Tools and Resources > Change your portfolio > Printable Forms > (Select dropdown for category: Request/change forms) > Transfer authorization for registered investments
You can also book a meeting with a Canada Life Health and Wealth Consultant if you want some help through the process.
The CBPP (Defined Contribution pension plan) makes investing easy through Target Date funds. When you enroll, your contributions will go into the Target Date fund that’s closest to your retirement date (age 65). For details, see the Target Date funds related resources.
For the TFSA, you can choose from the Target Date funds or funds offered from a variety of different asset classes. For details, see the TFSA Overview in related resources, or log in to My Canada Life at Work to view the fund options available.

Twist my Limb instead, at least if you’re looking for the most beautiful, eco-friendly collection of invitations, wedding accessories, thank you notes, and anything else paper you might covet for your wedding (or other special event)! I read about this company, based in the Midwest, on a business blog that I subscribe to, and I was so taken with their story and their products, that I got right to bloggin’ (well, not right to it…I emailed a couple of couples along the way, lol….)
The story is a great one; a real odyssey that has evolved into this wonderful business (which is over 10 year old; way pre-dating the current green frenzy). Sheryl Woodhouse-Keese says that she started the company she found herself in the dubiously liberating position of being an unemployed environmentalist and former park ranger. She was searching for a way to blend her artistic skills and her llove of nature, and found that Twisted Limb could become the perfect venue to showcase her talents. Her vision has become so successful that she now has a team of six (and you can virtually meet them on her website) that hand-creates the distinctive offerings on her site.
Just as “health” food isn’t all about sprouts and groats (what the hell is a groat anyway?), “re cycled” doesn’t mean brown. Sheryl’s line is colorful, joyous and stylish. You’ll find way too much to love, and what a great problem to have! | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

A stellar line-up of soloists, conductor, choir and orchestra combine forces in the re-mastered 2 CD set of Mozart's arrangement of Handel's much loved 'Messiah'.
In April 1742, shortly after the first performance of Messiah in Dublin for the city's Charitable Musical Society, the Dublin Journal reported that the oratorio "was allowed by the greatest of Judges to be the finest Compostion of Musick that was ever heard".
Sir Charles Mackerras continues the constantly evolving performance history of one of the world's most enduring masterpieces.
"an appealing tribute that translates the music's idiom from Baroque to Classical, with many graceful and imaginative touches"
- BBC Music Magazine
Founded in 1836, the Huddersfield Choral Society has developed an international reputation as one of the UK's leading choral societies.
The Society's busy schedule is centred on its own subscription concert season in Huddersfield Town Hall, including its annual performances of Messiah. The choir also performs in other major concert venues in the UK and abroad, it regularly broadcasts for BBC radio and television, and has a long history of pioneering recordings.
Georg Frideric Handel was a composer from the Baroque period. Handel wrote primarily music-dramatic works: 42 operas, 29 oratorios, more than 120 cantatas, trios and duets, which comes to a total amount of almost 2000 arias! Furthermore, he composed English, Italian and Latin sacred music, serenades and odes. Among his instrumental music are several organ concertos, concerti grossi, overtures, oboe sonatas and violinsonates, along with many solo works for harpsichord and organ.
Together with Johann Sebastian Bach, who was born in the same year (1685), Handel is viewed as one of the greatest composers of his time. He was extremely prolific and wrote in total more than 610 works, many of which are still performed today.
Compared to his contemporaries Bach, Telemann and Scarlatti, Handel was by far the most cosmopolitan. When Handel was a child, his father, who was a surgeon at the court of Saxe-Weissenfels, imagined a juridical career for him. But his musical talents did not go unnoticed at the court, which forced the father to let him study music. In Hamburg, Handel befriended Mattheson. Together they visited Buxtehude, the greatest organ player of his time, in 1703 (two years before Bach did). At that time, Handel was already an excellent musician, but it wasn't until his stay in Italy - the land of opera - that his talents and skills truly started to flourish. Back in Germany, he received a position at the court of Hannover, where the noblemen had a connection to the British throne. Thanks to these connections, Handel decided to move to London, after which a puzzling history of intrigues and political games started. For example, it is unclear what the exact political message of his famous Water Music is, which was composed for a boat ride on the river Thames by King George. Initially, Handel focused on Italian opera during his stay in London, but from the 1730s onwards he started composing English spoken oratorios, with the celebrated Messiah at its peak. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Friday said it was commiserating with families of the victims of a fuel tanker fire incident at Obalende area of Lagos.
In a statement signed by NNPC spokesman, Kennie Obateru, the corporation said it wished all those that sustained injuries in the incident quick recovery.
Earlier on Friday, a fuel truck belonging to NNPC’s petroleum products retail affiliate, NNPC Retail Limited, was involved in a road accident while conveying petrol, the NNPC statement said.
The corporation explained that all the injured from the incident had been rushed to the hospital while further investigation is on to determine the accident’s cause.
The mishap, which occurred around 5 pm led to an inferno which consumed the petrol-laden truck in front of a hospital and gas station, NNPC said.
In its statement, the corporation “expressed appreciation to the good-spirited people of Lagos around the scene of the incident and fire service personnel who brought the fire under control.” | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Heading to Reading on Saturday? Here's everything you need to know about an away day at the Madejski Stadium...
The travelling Addicks will be housed behind the goal in the South Stand, over to the right-hand side as you look at the pitch.
The facilities in the stand are good and there is plenty of legroom with a good view of the action thanks to a generous height between rows, with the stand being fairly steep.
Burgers, pies and hot dogs are available inside the ground, while the Reading Gate Retail park offers plenty of options nearby including Pizza Hut, McDonald’s and KFC.
As always, the town centre has plenty to choose from in the way of restaurants, while the likes of Gregg’s and Subway is close to the station.
There is a small Fan Zone outside the East Stand that has a couple of mobile bar units which normally both home and away fans can use. Due to the location of the stadium, there is not much in the way of pubs close by. The closest bar is at the Holiday Inn across the A33 dual-carriageway south-east of the ground, while the World Upside Down Bar on Basingstoke Road is recommended by Reading.
Near to the station in the town centre, the Three Guineas is a popular pub for away fans.
Postcode is RG2 0FL. There is some limited parking at the stadium which costs £10, but it can get bust when it comes to leaving. There is also parking available for £10 at the nearby site of the now-demolished greyhound track which offers a quicker getaway – follow signs for ‘alternative parking’. There is also a number of unofficial car parks at warehouses in the area for a cost of around £5.
Alternatively, there is a park and ride facility at Mereoak (postcode RG7 1PB) near to Junction 11 of the M4.
Parking is free and return bus tickets are priced; £3.50 adults and £1.70 U19s, or there is a group ticket available at £7 (for up to four people).
Reading station is just over three miles away from the stadium and there is an F1 ‘football special’ bus which runs to the stadium for £4 return.
Fast trains run to Reading from London Paddington with the journey time only around 25 minutes. The ‘slow’ train takes 56 minutes.
2,219 Addicks have SOLD OUT the away end, with no tickets available on the day. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The East Zone cyber crime unit of the city police apprehended a 69-year-old man for allegedly duping a 58-year-old woman with a fake flight ticket. The victim, R. Krishnaveni of Royapettah, sought the services of Jegannathan, a travel agent, to purchase a ticket for her journey to the United States.
Last July, she transferred ₹1.29 lakh to Jegannathan’s account as payment for the ticket, only to realize later that the ticket was fraudulent. Krishnaveni reported the incident to the police, leading to the arrest of Dindigul Logasubramaniam Jaganathan from Thandalam in Tiruvallur district. The police’s cybercrime unit analyzed Jegannathan’s phone number, bank account, and email address to gather evidence for the arrest. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Many foreign companies get it wrong when they try to enter the booming luxury market in China, explains Shaun Rein to CNBC, just focusing on the wrong age groups, regions and getting the branding wrong. Most luxury car buyers, like those from Mercedes, have an average age of 39 years old, where in the US that age is 53.
Shaun Rein estimates the annual market for luxury products will grow to US$ 9 bn per year in China, but most wealthy people will spend that money in Hong Kong or Europe, because luxury has more cachet when bought in Milan. Exception are the second tier cities, outside Shanghai and Beijing, where its inhabitants cannot travel that easy abroad, so setting up stores in for example Harbin makes a lot of sense.
More smart observations in this clip. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
The US-based luxury fashion group Neiman Marcus has decided to enter the China market through e-commerce, rather than building brick-and-mortar stores. Business analyst Shaun Rein explains in the Financial Times why that might not be a smart idea.
The Financial Times:
The problem for retailers looking to get into China may be two-fold. Listing costs are high – but brand recognition may not travel online. The Neiman Marcus news was greeted with scepticism by local retail analysts. Shaun Rein of China Market Research in Shanghai said: “nobody knows who Neiman Marcus is in China.”
Rumours have been swirling for years about Neiman trying to get retail space on the Shanghai Bund for a large new store. Most analysts see it as essential for foreign brands – especially luxury brands – to have bricks and mortar shops to bolster their credibility in a country where seeing is still believing.
“Customers really need to be able to see and touch the product and feel the brand heritage in a physical environment,” said Rein. “Luxury sales are booming online but people still tend to equate e-commerce with cheap,” he said, adding “I don’t think it’s possible for a foreign brand to come in and sell at high prices just online”.

ANCELOTTI VEDE DE LAURENTIIS IS READY TO SIGN TO GUIDE THE NAPLES. SARRI RISKS A YEAR OF STOP
He arrived from Milan after taking part in the Lega Assembly. We discussed TV rights and what to do about the Mediapro / Sky affair. Aurelio De Laurentiis was the first to leave the meeting and leave for Rome. In the Filmauro headquarters, a few steps from the Quirinale, he had a dinner meeting with Carlo Ancelotti. The former coach of Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern arrived shortly after entering the Palazzo Filmauro of the sons of Aurelio, Edo and Luigi De Laurentiis, the administrator Chiavelli. Job dinner. This emerged from the mists scattered around this meeting that many gave for sure and many boasted like a scarecrow put in art by the old marpione De Laurentiis to scare Maurizio Sarri. But Carletto has dined with the top men of Calcio Napoli. It is therefore very likely that he will be the technical leader of the club next year. During the three hours of an informal meeting and dinner there was a long discussion about the long-term project and the desire to win not only De Laurentiis but also Ancelotti who won everything in football and coached the best clubs in the world. There is more and more serious behind this meeting. Perhaps in the next few hours there will be another meeting to close. To start the shopping campaign already and face the team to understand who is leaving, who renews and who will arrive. The signing of the contract would be very close but the announcement according to rumors would be given only in June. There is also a figure: 7 million. And then the bonuses in case of victories. And Maurizio Sarri? At this point if it were true that Ancelotti arrives (and it would seem so), the hope is that the Tuscan technician will find a place worthy of his way of working. Perhaps at Chelsea where Conte could be thanked and greeted by the patrón Roman Abramovich. They never bound characteristically. Too similar. There is also the possibility that it remains stationary. In this case it would be a nastiness. Because Sarri expresses the most football in Europe, has brought the Naples to unimaginable peaks before and deserves respect for the work done. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Construction of New Zealand’s first, purpose-built centre for youth well-being can now start following an extra $2.5 million of COVID-19 response funding.
Land on Salisbury Street was specifically purchased for the project by Anglican Care and will be leased back to the Youth Hub Trust to build and run the facility.
Housing Minister and Associate Minister of Finance, Megan Woods said “the Christchurch Youth Hub is about bringing together all the things young people need in one place, like counselling, training, catch-up education and safe housing, which will bring huge benefits for local youth and the wider community. It is a real pleasure to be able to give this project a little extra help.”
The well-being hub in Christchurch’s central city will provide space for about 12 different youth organisations and include facilities for arts, recreation and training as well as providing job opportunities in an onsite cafe and organic vegetable farm.
It will also provide transitional housing for 16 to 24 years olds, where they’ll be given social support from qualified, live-in staff. Most will stay from 3-18 months at a time, providing they are involved in formal education or actively looking for work.
The Hub is designed to help those who need it, to get ready for independent flatting and employment with the provision of a one-stop shop model of wrap-around services.
“With resource and consents now granted, after a period of delay caused by Covid-19 and a consent appeal, the project is ready to get underway in the coming months,” Megan Woods said.
An agreement has been reached with neighbours previously opposed to the project, meaning resource consent could be granted. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |
Capping off a year of district shopping, outgoing Rep. Mondaire Jones is planning yet another move – to Sleepy Hollow. Which happens to be in the 17th Congressional District, and is weeks away from being represented by Republican Rep.-elect Mike Lawler, who could have a very tough time in 2024 defending a Biden +10 district in a presidential year. Jones isn’t saying he’ll run just yet, but “I care too deeply to go away,” from political life, he told City & State. “And you might also observe that I’m only 35 years old.”
Of course, you can’t guarantee Jones will stay anywhere for long. After being bigfooted by ill-fated DCCC Chair Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the Congress member left the lower Hudson Valley and moved to Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, in June to run for the 10th Congressional District. He lost to Rep.-elect Dan Goldman and moved back to his White Plains home in August, immediately after the primary. Jones “learned my lesson,” he told NY1 Tuesday. “That is, home for me is in the Hudson Valley.”
Jones had been a bit cheeky about his move to Brooklyn. Asked by the Times when, exactly, he had moved in, Jones said “time is a blur when you’re fighting to end gun violence in America.” He also said he had a special connection to the district as a gay man who had socialized in the district’s LGBTQ-friendly neighborhoods like Greenwich Village. But even skeptics of Jones’ move to a district where he had never lived before understood that he’d been given a raw deal in the redistricting. Instead of choosing between the district where his home was, represented by fellow Black progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman, or the district where most of his constituents were – which was immediately claimed by the well-funded Maloney – Jones bailed, and looked to the new open seat spanning lower Manhattan and western Brooklyn.
That NY1 appearance was just one of many recent stops as Jones kept up the media rounds on MSNBC, CNN and MSNBC again in recent weeks, as he closes out the term. Jones said he’s “finishing the year strong” pointing to the “$29 million for 15 different community projects in the omnibus appropriations bill for Rockaland and Westchester Counties,” that he expects to secure.
Jones, an attorney, also told NY1 that he’s going to be appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, a part-time role on an eight member board. But that doesn’t keep him from running “nothing about this six-year term prevents me from running for office in the future,” he said, “and obviously, it’s something that I’m considering.”
The race for Congress in the 17th district could be full of intrigue. Maloney lost to Lawler in November, and is now reportedly in talks for a Biden administration job. If Maloney wants a rematch, would it spoil Jones’ plans? Note that in the NY1 interview, Jones made his lasting frustration with Maloney clear – while actually calling Lawler a friend. | CC-MAIN-2024-51 |

The Ontario Provincial Police have taken a 32-year-old man into custody following a fatal accident in Alliston. The crash killed a 41-year-old New Tecumseth public works employee, and a female co-worker suffered serious injuries in the incident. Sources say that the two were struck while they were working on the shoulder of Victoria Street West shortly before 3 a.m. on June 20.
In addition to his job with public works, the deceased man was also a New Tecumseth volunteer fighter. He died of his injuries in a Toronto hospital after having been airlifted from Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston. The female victim was listed in a non-life-threatening condition at a hospital.
Police say that the victims were hit by a westbound pickup truck as they were painting traffic lines on the road’s shoulder. Although the driver left the scene of the scene of the auto-pedestrian accident, he was apprehended a short time later. The man was charged with impaired driving causing bodily injury and failing to remain. Sources report that the deceased victim has not been publicly identified pending the notification of his family.
A hit-and-run can potentially pose problems for the purposes of liability determination and compensation. Victims of a negligent driver’s actions are often entitled to seek compensation, but their efforts to do so may be blocked if investigators cannot the at-fault driver. However, it is sometimes possible to locate the driver of a hit-and-run and hold them accountable for their actions.
The family of a deceased accident victim can file a wrongful death claim, and a personal injury claim would be filed by an injured party. Both claims might seek compensation for any accident-related expenses, such as medical expenses that were not covered through insurance claims. Non-economic damages may also be sought.
