The Lady Bears still have two more tests before Christmas. They play at No. 3 Tennessee next Sunday and host No. 4 Connecticut on Dec. 18.
Virginia 69, No. 3 Tennessee 64 (OT): Chelsea Shine scored 18 points, including a key basket in overtime, and host Virginia stunned turnover-prone Tennessee. The Cavaliers (4-0) came into the game allowing just more than 42 points a game under first-year coach Joanne Boyle, and they dictated the pace against a Lady Vols team averaging 90.5 points.
Taber Spani led the Lady Vols (2-1) with 22 points, including a three-pointer 59 seconds into overtime that gave Tennessee a 61-58 lead, but the Cavaliers scored the next 11 points.
Shekinna Stricklen had 16 and Glory Johnson 15 for the Lady Vols, who missed 10 of 21 free throws. The Lady Vols also had 24 turnovers that the Cavs turned into 27 points.
No. 9 Louisville 62, Xavier 44: Becky Burke scored 13 points, including three three-pointers, and host Louisville used a swarming defense to beat Xavier. Cierra Warren added 10 points for the Cardinals (3-1).
No. 8 Duke 80, Western Kentucky 54: Reserve Tricia Liston scored a career-high 22 points after going scoreless in her first two games this season, and Duke forced 35 turnovers against Western Kentucky in Bowling Green.
The Lady Toppers (0-3) are winless in five meetings with Duke and hadn't hosted a team ranked as high as the Blue Devils (3-0) in 11 years.
Louisiana State 59, Georgia Tech 50: Anthony Hickey, Kentucky Mr. Basketball out of Christian County, scored 20 points to lead LSU to fifth place at the Charleston (S.C.) Classic on Sunday.
Tennessee State 64, South Carolina 63: Robert Covington scored 16 points to lead Tennessee State at South Carolina, its first victory in 24 tries against a Southeastern Conference team.
South Carolina (1-2), which trailed by 22 with 14:49 left, had a chance to force overtime on two R.J. Slawson free throws with 7.5 seconds to go, but the 78 percent free-throw shooter missed the second.
No. 4 Connecticut 87, Coppin State 70: Shabazz Napier had 22 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds to lead Connecticut in Hartford.
Napier's triple-double was the ninth in UConn history and the first since Kemba Walker had one last season against Maryland-Baltimore County.
"He was really good today. I don't care who we were playing, he was really good," UConn Coach Jim Calhoun said of Napier.
No. 1 North Carolina 101, Mississippi Valley State 75: John Henson had 18 points and 14 rebounds for North Carolina. Harrison Barnes also had 18 points for the Tar Heels (3-0), who had little trouble winning their home opener in a ragged game.
North Carolina led by just 14 at halftime before surging in the final 10 minutes to lead by as many as 30.
"It's going to boost our confidence up," said Brent Arrington, who scored 33 points for the Delta Devils (0-3).
Mississippi Valley State also goes to South Carolina, Arkansas, No. 7 Florida and No. 14 Wisconsin before their first home game Jan. 14 against Alcorn State. Coach Sean Woods, a former Kentucky Wildcat, said the long trip will toughen his team.
"Our stuff does work when we do it right against anybody in the country," Woods said. "We've got to stop making silly plays that gives the other team a run."
Virginia Commonwealth 69, Western Kentucky 64: Rob Brandenberg scored 18 points, and Bradford Burgess hit two go-ahead foul shots with 1:07 to go as Virginia Commonwealth avoided an 0-3 trip to the Charleston (S.C.) Classic with a victory over Western Kentucky.
The Rams (2-2) rallied from 12 points down in the second half to take seventh place. Nigel Snipes' three-pointer gave Western Kentucky (1-4) a 56-44 lead with 8:04 to go, but last year's Final Four participants rallied with a 25-8 run to finish the game.
Lehigh 76, Eastern Kentucky 51: Holden Greiner had 13 points to lead four double-figure scorers for Lehigh (4-2) in the 2K Sports Classic in Lynchburg, Va.
Jaron Jones led the Colonels (3-3) with 17 points.
Murray State 62, Alabama-Birmingham 55: Isaiah Canaan scored 19 points, and Ivan Aska added 18 as Murray rallied to defeat UAB in Birmingham after trailing by 12 midway through the second half.
Donte Poole had all 11 of his points for the Racers (4-0) during a 22-2 run that turned a 49-37 lead for the Blazers (0-2) with 10:17 remaining into a 59-51 Murray State lead with 47 seconds left.


The retrospective exhibition "Someday is Now," currently on view at the Pasadena Museum of California Art, has brought a lot of attention back to the Southern Californian artist Corita Kent. It's a focus that hasn't existed in the nearly three decades since her death. While many of her contemporaries have become household names—including friends and influences John Cage and Charles and Ray Eames—Corita Kent hasn't reached a posthumous level of fame on par with her artistic achievements.

In 627 C.E., Jewish tribe of Mustaliq which had its settlement at some distance from Madina entered into alliance with the tribe of Banu Khuza'a, and both agreed to make common cause against the Muslims. The Holy Prophet deputed the emissary to contact the Banu Mustaliq and report about the true state of affairs. The emissary reported that the Banu Mustaliq were in a hostile mood and were planing invasion of Madina. The Holy Prophet thereupon led a Muslim force to the territory of Banu Mustaliq. Ali bore the standard as usual.
The Holy Prophet gave the Banu Mustaliq the option to submit but they chose to fight. The battle began duel between Qattada the leader of Banu Mustaliq and Ali. In a few rounds Ali killed Qattada. Thereafter another Jewish leader Malik confronted Ali. Ali killed in no time. After the death of Malik his son crossed swords with Ali with the intent to avenge the death of his father. There after the tribe lost the will to fight. They laid arms and agreed to pay tribute.

The vast amount of stamps available to collect, their delicate beauty, and the relaxing experience of collecting them combine to make this the best hobby in the world.
Stamps are far more than just little pieces of paper used for sending letters. Though I admit, they do have an uncanny ability to move mail from here to there, which is pretty useful. What really makes them so great is how they act as miniature windows into the past. Stamps have been conveying mail and delighting collectors since 1840. They were used during the United States Civil War, both World Wars, and way before anyone envisioned computers, let alone the internet. Yet you, me, ANYONE can collect them!
Their massive availability makes it easy to assemble a collection in no time. No experience is needed whatsoever to begin collecting stamps. You can get them for pennies, and even for free if you clip them off letters you receive in the mail. Stamp collecting resources abound online, in libraries, and in bookstores, making it easy to find help whenever you need it. There's always more things to discover, learn, and participate in within the stamp community.
Anyone, no matter their age, income, views, experience, etc., can collect stamps, which makes this the greatest hobby on earth.


Devising an appropriate methodology is one of the most important factors in preparing a claim for R&D Tax Credits.
The methodology will ultimately determine the size and robustness of your claim, with an inappropriate choice either not providing the level of benefit you are entitled to, or not providing a suitable level of robustness - thus leaving you open to an HMRC enquiry.
The following is indicative of the types of videos that help guide RD Relief users to choose an appropriate methodology.
RD Relief supports three categories of methodology, which can be tailored to cover a magnitude of approaches.
Timesheet: The timesheet methodology will support the upload of your R&D project data. As your project data will be quantified by a number of hours (rather than cost), a blended rate will be applied to convert the number of hours worked into the cost incurred. Costs which are logged outside of timesheet data can be logged separately.
Project List: Where you have data that breaks down and quantifies the cost of project/s (or suppliers), this can be imported into RD Relief, manipulated online and used as a basis for the claim (or relevant part of the claim).
Person-by-person If no reliable timesheet or project list data exists, then the person-by-person methodology can be adopted. Here the remuneration details of each staff member and contractor involved in the R&D process will be imported into RD Relief. This will be used as a basis for the eligibility assessments.
Where a claim methodology is based upon using timesheet data, there needs to be a way to convert between the time logged and the cost incurred. In some cases, it may be possible to map costs on an individual-by-individual basis, but where this is not possible, a blended rate should be used.
Where project data is available (and reliable), HMRC expects companies to use it to support their claims for R&D Tax Credits.
For new claims, HMRC will often be lenient regarding the use of 'person-by-person' based methodologies. However, where claims have been ongoing for a number of years and have significant associated costs, HMRC will typically expect companies to start maintaining some form of project cost tracking.


So we have Dev, Test, Production.
We want to keep Dev but as another App name, so I renamed it. While we want to deploy the same application as Test/Production so we can use start developing the app in Test and use lifetime to deploy to Test and Production.
But after renaming it, Outsystems still recognized the newly renamed Dev app is the same as the Test / Production version. Therefore seems like I have to override it.
Is there a way I don't have to override it?
Please Clone the application for the requirements you have mentioned and Renaming the application name in the dev will lead to the renaming in the test and production as the application espaceid associated with the application will still remain the same.
If I clone the current Dev version and publish it. Will the current data in the database be carry over to the clone? And if the data is carried over, is it duplicated data? Because what I want is to maintain the current data also.
The Data wont be copied from original app.
The cloned app will be blank.

Supernal Dreams: ALAIN RESNAIS – Movie Master of Time and Memory
Posted on June 24, 2009 by Lawrence French
If a film is to be of interest to me, it must have something experimental in it.
As Steve has noted in his Laserblast comments, Criterion's Blue-ray and DVD edition of Alain Resnais' LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD is now out, right on the heels of the 87-year old director's latest film, WILD GRASS , which has received rave reviews at the recent Cannes film festival. Variety's Jordan Mintzer said, "the pic is marked by superb performances and a dazzling technical display by the helmer and cinematographer Eric Gautier." At Cannes, Resnais himself was also cited with a "Lifetime achievement award for his work and exceptional contribution to the history of cinema."
Unfortunately, given the sad state of foreign film exhibition in America, it seems probable that like most of Resnais' last eight films, WILD GRASS will not even be distributed to American cinemas!
Ironically, the last real success Resnais had in the U.S. was when Roger Corman, a huge fan of his work, successfully marketed MON ONCLE D'AMERIQUE (MY AMERICAN UNCLE) in America via his New World Pictures. Of course, it's a given that Resnais' experimental style is never going to set box-offices on fire, but even the easily accessible musical-comedy SAME OLD SONG (1997) played for only a few weeks in most American cities. However, at least that Resnais film got shown! Most of his previous six pictures were all passed over by American distributors, including such gems as LOVE UNTO DEATH and SMOKING/NO SMOKING. Luckily, Kino Video has recently put four of the missing Resnais films out on DVD.
Some notes on selected Alain Resnais movies with themes that relate them to cinefantastique:
1959 HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR (New Yorker Films, 91 min).
Marguerite Duras and I agreed that we would attempt an experiment in film by not having the characters directly participate in the tragic action but rather remember it, react to it. I asked Duras to write a story, in the style of a recitative, in which the past would not be manifested through real flashbacks but would remain present throughout the story; a love story within a framework of other people's suffering; two characters whose memories are always present in their actions. The entire film then was to be built on contradiction.
1961 LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD (Astor Pictures, 94 min.)
One of the themes which interests me in the film is that of the parallel universe. It is quite possible that all the characters are speaking the truth. We didn't deliberately organize the film around this possibility, but there is a certain connection with "automatic writing" …We wanted the film to work quite differently from a conventional entertainment; by a sort of contemplation, of meditation, a series of advances and retreats from the subject.
1968 JE T'AIME, JE T'AIME (I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU) (Fox Europa / Parc – 91 min).
I thought it was fun to have the film begin as a B movie. Like a kind of bad serial, but maybe that was a little too perverted. JE T'AIME, JE T'AIME for me is a very ironical film—with a lot of sadness. But I would have preferred to hear people laugh more.
—Alain Resnais.
The time machine from Alain Resais art house film
This rarely-screened Resnais film is perhaps his most audacious look at the workings of human memory, here examined through the pretext of a time travel experiment gone awry. After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, Claude Ridder (Claude Rich) agrees to become a human guinea pig in a scientific experiment at the Crespel Institute, located in a country chateau. The scientists there propose to send Ridder back in time one year previous, for exactly one minute (along with a white laboratory mouse). But something goes wrong and the scientists are powerless to help Ridder, who begins to repeatedly relive fragmented moments from his past, including his tragic love affair with Catrine (Olga Georges-Picot), her accidental death, and his own suicide attempt. The film is composed of over 100 different scenes set in 13 different time periods from Ridder's life, all of which are presented in no particular order, making it Resnais' supreme triumph in the art of film montage. Scored by the experimental Polish composer, Krzysztof Penderecki.
1983 LIFE IS A BED OF ROSES (LA VIE EST UN ROMAN) (New Yorker Films, 113 min).
A legend imagined by children and played by adults. Three stories, or rather one story with three themes.
Resnais second film with writer Jean Gruault is often mistakenly listed as being part of a trilogy, when in reality this film has almost nothing to relate it to MON ONCLE D'AMERIQUE or LOVE UNTO DEATH (other than the fact that the writer and director are the same). It is actually much closer in theme and style to I WANT TO GO HOME and SAME OLD SONG. The plot focuses on the search for Happiness, illustrated by two stories set in Count Michel Forbek's (opera star Rueggero Raimondi) utopian castle, "the Palace of Happiness." After a brief introduction showing the origins of the Count's castle, Resnais continually cuts between two different stories. The first is a bizarre cult like meeting in the 20's, where the Count attempts to regress his willing friends and guests back to a near natal state, from which they will emerge without their memories, and thus be able to see the world with re-awakened senses. The second story, set in the present day, has the castle turned into a progressive school, where a conference for teachers is underway and various affairs are pursued among the free-wheeling participants. Resnais' first film with Sabine Azema and Pierre Arditi who would go on to act (usually as a couple) in many of the director's subsequent films.
1984 LOVE UNTO DEATH (L'AMOUR A MORT) (MK2, 93 min.)
Resnais once explained that his work dealt with the desire to "stop death in its tracks—the toll that time takes on us, just as the photographer or the painter wants to capture forever the face and body of the woman they love." This remarkable film offers Resnais and screenwriter Jean Gruault the chance of doing just that. Simon (Pierre Arditi), is an archeologist at work excavating Roman ruins at Uzes in southern France. After being mysteriously pronounced dead by the local doctor (Jean Daste), Simon revives, and begins to re-examine the meaning of his life. His devoted girlfriend, Elisabeth (Sabine Azema) tries to comfort him, but finds her own love for Simon faltering when the memories of his 'death vision' begin to become a morbid obsession. Co-starring André Dussolier and the radiant Fanny Ardant as a team of husband and wife ministers who advise Simon and Elizabeth when they both most come face to face with the consequences of Simon's experience.
With this film Resnais visits Bergman territory, using many of the Swedish directors favorite themes, but in a totally unique way. And ever the experimenter, Resnais continually cuts away from his characters in the middle of scenes, showing a lightly falling snow, or sometimes just blackness, accompanied by the dissonant music of Hans Werner Henze, to suggest a limbo (or gateway) to whatever awaits one beyond death. Easily ranks among Resnais' greatest films, with fine performances and beautiful cinematography by Sacha Vierny (in widescreen Panavision, marking Resnais' first use of this format since LAST YEAR AT MARIENBAD). Fascinating, rigorous, and a dazzling meditation on death, resurrection and the power of love. Described by the modern French philosopher Gilles Deleuze as "one of the most ambitious films in cinema history," which, quite shamefully was never picked up for U.S. distribution.
1989 I WANT TO GO HOME (JE VEUX RENTRER A LA MAISON) (MK2, 105 min.)
For what I know about the cinema, I owe as much to the comics as to the films. The principles of scripting and editing are the same for comic books and films. Long before films, they employed CinemaScope. And further, they have always been able to change their proportions. They also know how to use color for dramatic purposes.
Based on a script by satirical cartoonist Jules Feiffer, I WANT TO GO HOME explores Resnais' life-long love for the art of comic books. An American cartoonist (played by legendary SINGIN' IN THE RAIN composer Adolph Green) travels to Paris for an exhibition of his work and a reunion with his estranged daughter Elise (Laura Benson). Gerard Depardieu (in his first English-speaking part) co-stars as Elise's professor at the Sorbonne. The ending, like PROVIDENCE, takes place at a baroque chateau in the countryside, where all the principals comically interact at a masked party.
1993 SMOKING (USA Films, 146 min.) and NO SMOKING (USA Films, 147 min.)
"I wanted people to get lost in a sort of labyrinth, and enjoy it. In France, many more came to see SMOKING, than NO SMOKING. I'm sure that means something, but I don't know what. It was the 'NO' in NO SMOKING that made people want to see the other one first. Originally, I thought of calling one 'Either,' 'Or' and the second one 'Like that,' 'Or otherwise.' But then it seemed a bit patronizing, a bit Pirandello.
Although acquired by October films, this inventive two-part narrative was never released to U.S. theaters. Based on INTIMATE EXCHANGES, a cycle of 8 short plays by English playwright Alan Ayckbourn, which are all set in a small Yorkshire village, focusing on the same basic set of characters, starting with the alcoholic headmaster of the local school, Toby Teasdale and his long suffering wife, Celia Teasdale. Resnais' favorite actors, Pierre Arditi and Sabine Azema play all of the nine main characters. Both films start with the exact same openings and the subsequent scenes go their divergent ways, depending on whether Celia decides to smoke a cigarette or not. Then, half-way through each film (after establishing the basic situation), six different endings are presented, one right after the other. Resnais hoped that audiences would go to see each film on subsequent evenings, in whatever order they preferred. However, that was probably one of the biggest stumbling blocks to it's being shown in America. Theater owners, no doubt, resisted the idea of playing the two films on alternate nights. Of course, an easy solution to that marketing dilemma would have been to release the films one at a time, a few months apart.

Steve Biodrowski says:
Regarding Gerard Depardieu's "first English-speaking" role in I WANT TO GO HOME: I believe that honor actually goes to Bertolucci's "1900" – although Depardieu's voice is dubbed in the English-language version, the precise synchronization of the looped dialogue shows that he was delivering his performance in English.

Q: How to get latitude and longitude in every 10 seconds when app in background mode in iOS swift 3 I develop an app for bus tracking in that I want to send the driver latitude and longitude to the backend server for my updating my current location.
But when app in background mode then how to get latitude and longitude for that????

A: You need to use CoreLocation framework along with NSTimer.
1: Add CoreLocation framework in your project.
2: Allow "Location Update" In "BackgroundModes"
2: In YOURViewController or in AppDelegate where you want to access location add:
import CoreLocation

class YourViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {

    // Location Manager
    let locManager = CLLocationManager()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
      locManager.delegate = self
      // 300 = 300 seconds. Change time according to you. This is repeating funciton.
      let _ = Timer.scheduledTimer(timeInterval: TimeInterval(300), target: self, selector: #selector(self.getLocation), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
    }

    func startUpdatingBugs()  {
        locManager.delegate         = self
        locManager.desiredAccuracy  = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
        locManager.distanceFilter   = 10; // meters
        locManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    }

Now add delegates to get location and upload to server or whatever.
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
        var geoLocationLongitude = location?.coordinate.longitude ?? "na",
        var geoLocationLattitude = location?.coordinate.latitude ?? "na",
}

Last month my boyfriend and I took a little trip to Victoria to celebrate his graduation and our one year anniversary. I took a bunch of pictures and thought that I would share them with you! There is quite a few so I figure that I would put them into two separate blog posts and to separate them into each individual day. Enjoy!!
Day 1: On our first day we got in at around noon, got our rental car and made our way downtown to explore. We went to Green Cuisine for lunch, to Silk Road to pick up tea and to the Inner Harbor.
After the inner harbor, we met up with my Auntie G whom we stayed with and went to her and my Uncle's beautiful new condo which is right on Dallas Road overlooking the ocean. Kael and I felt very fortunate to spend time there especially on the deck where we spent most of our mornings eating breakfast and people watching. In the evening Kael and I took a walk along Dallas Road and caught the last of the sunset.
Day 2: Our second day in Victoria was probably our busiest and also the day that we felt the most full!
After Mount Doug, we went to Glo for lunch and sat on the patio. We enjoyed sitting by the ocean and the food was delicious. After lunch we went back to my Aunt and Uncles, relaxed and then got ready to go out for dinner. For dinner we went to a place called Be Love which specializes in gluten free/dairy free food. We started with salsa and their homemade chips, I had a ZLT and curried cauliflower soup for my main course and then Kael and I split a few different cakes for desert. One of the many reasons I love Kael is that he is such a good sport when it comes to my dietary restrictions and is willing to try new things with me. I rather enjoyed my food (especially the desert) and will for sure go back the next time we are there.
Day 3: On Saturday we spent the morning with Auntie G at the Yates St. Farmers Market which was a lot of fun and then Kael and I went to Beacon Hill Park to the petting zoo so we could pet goats! I am slightly obsessed with them and would have one as a pet if I could so it was awesome to be around so many at once. We relaxed for the rest of the day and then Auntie G cooked awesome tacos for dinner which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Benji the Easter Lamb came to Victoria with us too!
I hope you enjoyed part 1 of our trip, be on the lookout for part 2 of our trip very soon! Have a Happy Weekend!

Haileybury's Leslie McFarlane Archives Given to McMaster
While visiting my two daughters in Hamilton at Christmas I noticed the news report of an exciting acquisition for the McMaster University Archives. It was a huge and valuable collection of material on Leslie McFarlane (1902-1977), the highly prolific writer of books, films, and television material who is originally from Haileybury. The Northern Ontario connection got my attention.
Some of the hundreds of items in the McMaster University Library collection.
McFarlane is best known now for work he was not particularly proud of when he wrote it. Twenty one of fifty one Hardy Boys books in the 1930s and 40s that sold millions of copies in 50 languages and taught millions of young people to read. He also wrote other adolescent pulp fiction books on contract while trying to survive as a writer from 1926 to 1947. He had no rights to the books but the publisher got rich.
I checked in the North Bay Library and there are dozens of the books there – many updated by the company to make them more current and politically correct. His contract required that he write in a pseudonym (Franklin W. Dixon) and to not reveal he was the author. In 1976 in his excellent biography Ghost of the Hardy Boys he admitted that he wrote the books.
When I decided to write about Leslie I remembered reading his books and my kids reading his books. I was watching Corner Gas recently and saw Davis with a Hardy Boys book. Bill Bryson in his very funny new book The Thunderbolt Kid tells about reading the Hardy Boys books. The computer shows that Haileybury is proud of McFarlane, has a display in their fine museum, and a street named after him. Bruce W. Taylor has written a book about him called The Hardy Boys' Haileybury Connection that is on sale at the museum.
Leslie, who was born in 1902 came to Haileybury when his dad became a school principal there in 1910. The family lived in several different homes over the years. Leslie won a first prize for his writing in 1915 and won several others before he became a newspaper reporter for the Cobalt Nugget (Now the North Bay Nugget) and other papers including those in Sudbury and Welland. As a newspaper reporter in the U.S. he saw an ad for a pulp fiction business producing children's books and wrote several books for one series before the Hardy Boys where he set the standard.
He married and had three children and moved back to Haileybury where he wrote more Hardy Boys books plus some books under his own name. He also wrote dozens of articles for publications like Maclean's where he became an editor. In 1929 he moved to Whitby where he lived until his death in 1977. There is a school named after him there.
Later in his career he became a producer/director for the National Film Board and made some 50 films including one nominated for an Academy Award. He also had a job overseeing scripts for the CBC and wrote some 70 scripts himself for radio and television. He met Lorne Green there and wrote for Bonanza briefly.
The Hardy Boys appeared in several T.V. series – two in the 1950s, and another in 1977. A 1995 series had the brothers no longer as teenagers – it lasted only 13 episodes.
In 2004 Marilyn Greenwald wrote a book called The Secret of the Hardy Boys: Leslie McFarlane and the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Most of the book is about "Les" McFarlane including his life in Haileybury – much of it from his many diaries which are now at McMaster.
McFarlane's author daughter Norah who with her brother donated the material to McMaster is writing a book on her father. Brother Brian spent 25 years on Hockey Night in Canada as a commentator and has written some 65 books primarily on hockey. Quite a remarkable family.
It is fitting that now on the 30th anniversary of his death Leslie and his family are getting the recognition they deserve. For more information check online where there are dozens of references. The Haileybury Museum is open Monday-Friday from 9-4 and from June 1 to Labour Day 9-6 – seven days a week.
By the way, I called Chris Oslund, the curator of the Museum in Haileybury to congratulate him on becoming the new President of the Ontario Historical Society and found he has moved on to be the Clerk of the Town of Haileybury. Congratulations Chris.

These days, 3D printing can be done with a great many different and extraordinary materials. 3D printing of glass is a new challenge because it becomes a treacly liquid when melted and – in the case of thin-walled products – very brittle after solidifying. Therefore accurate temperature control is essential to able to control the printing process. Philips Lighting Winschoten (now taken over by the German company QSIL) asked DEMCON to develop a 2.0 version for systematic process research and the automatic printing of demonstrators with their 3D glass printer.
The printer consists of a printhead in which glass is melted and a platform that makes an x-y-z movement beneath the flow of glass to create the required product. Crucial to the final result is managing the temperature of not only the melting glass in the printhead (1,600 -1,700 ºC) but also the printing platform and ambient atmosphere (low oxygen to prevent corrosion). If the end product cools down too quickly, tension can build up within it. For this reason the platform and atmosphere are set at maximum 700 ºC.
Demcon Kryoz its expertise on thermodynamics is used to equip the system with heaters and coolers that ensure balanced temperature regulation; a pyrometer measures the temperature of the printhead. The nitrogen which is continually blown into the furnace is pre-heated to prevent temperature fluctuations. Due to the high process temperatures, thermal expansion was an important design aspect. Thermal simulations served to underpin the design choices in terms of hardware (materials) and software (possible compensations).
As result the first printer in the world is created that is able to print glass in such a controlled way. I we are proud to contribute in this Demcon project and of the fact that together we have manged to meet the specifications for temperature, mechanical stability and accuracy. All that was achieved even though what we were working on was a prototype, so we couldn't simply carry on designing and simulating to fix every single issue. Together with our customer QSIL, we managed to strike a good balance.

Military occupation of public and private property is a cruel legacy of the nearly three-decade civil war in Sri Lanka that ended in May 2009. Over the years, many Sri Lankans, particularly in the embattled north and the east, were displaced because of the conflict, often several times over.
Government forces occupied territory to set up military camps, or bases, for operations, and demarcated certain areas as High Security Zones (HSZs), thwarting their return. Over the course of the war, the separatist forces of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had de-facto administrative control over large areas covering several districts and were also involved in forcibly displacing people, including a mass eviction of the Muslim community. Those displaced due to the conflict faced loss of their homes and livelihood, poor living conditions, including in squalid conditions at displacement camps.
By the end of the war, the military was in control of vast swaths of land, including the areas previously held by the defeated LTTE. While the administration of President Mahinda Rajapaksa took some steps to release land back to original owners, the military retained control over large areas and made use of it for both military and non-military purposes. The military consolidated its position and control, including shifting from de facto occupation to legal acquisition. It not only established barracks, but has used the land for agriculture, tourism, and other commercial ventures.
The current president, Maithripala Sirisena, came to power in 2015 on a platform of reform. His victory, followed by parliamentary elections in which pro-reform forces were further strengthened, raised the hopes of communities, mostly Tamil and to a lesser extent Muslim, whose land was occupied by the security forces.
In October 2015, at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), Sri Lanka cosponsored a resolution in which it pledged to address longstanding issues relating to the conflict, including prompt return of occupied land. The government has since stated that it has returned nearly 80 to 85 percent of the land held since the war ended and will only retain control in areas needed for national security reasons. But there has been no transparency in the process and many affected communities dispute these claims.
While the government has released land in a number of sites across the north and east, in other sites the process has been delayed. In at least one location, the Sirisena government has actually moved backward, allowing the military to acquire land in a conflict-affected area, a practice under the Rajapaksa government that many observers hoped had ended.
In Mullikulam, discussed above, residents with the support of clergy and local activists had been campaigning for the return of their land since the war ended in 2009. Instead, the navy consolidated its presence, declaring the village the headquarters for their north-west command. The election of a new government in 2015 gave them hope. But when their land was not returned, in March 2017, they began holding demonstrations outside the navy camp located on their properties. In July 2018, the navy made yet another promise to release their lands "soon," but it is yet to happen, and protests continue.
It is now nearly four years since the Sirisena administration took office, and discontent has risen among affected communities over continuing military occupation of land and additional acquisitions—often without adequate consultation, due process of law, or compensation for those displaced. In many parts of the country, those contesting these land seizures have been holding protests as they see little substantive progress. To a large degree, the earlier landowners remain vulnerable to the whims of the military and their decisions on whether to release land.
This report, based on 110 interviews conducted between June 2017 and August 2018, details cases of land occupation by security forces both during and after the armed conflict. It identifies failures of transparency and due process, lack of proper mapping of these occupations, inadequate support to affected individuals and communities, and ongoing delays in providing appropriate reparations to address the harms. It also examines evidence that the military is using some lands for commercial profit rather than national security, and in some cases has damaged or destroyed property prior to returning the land to owners. We conclude that, despite early progress in returning land and some positive commitments, the Sirisena government has since adopted an arbitrary and piecemeal approach. The failure to initiate a transparent process means that it has done far too little to address the rights violations and provide remedies to those who have suffered or continue to suffer from military land occupation and its consequences.
Nearly a decade after the war, the Sri Lankan army, navy, and air force, as well as the police, continue to occupy private land that is owned and was used by civilians, and state land intended for non-military purposes. These occupations range from large areas that cut across multiple administrative divisions, to smaller areas encompassing several properties and even, in some cases, an individual house or farm. Private land includes homes, business establishments, cultivable areas, and other properties. Security forces also continue to occupy or control access to religious buildings, schools, communal wells, beaches, and arable lands that have long been used by communities, sometimes over generations, but where ownership lies with the state.
Military occupation of land is among the primary contributors to continuing displacement: according to the government, as of 2017, nearly 40,000 people remained internally displaced in the country, a majority from Jaffna.
In some instances, the local civilian administration agrees that there are no reasonable grounds for continued occupation but have been unable to enforce reform because of obstruction by the military. In others, district officials assert that the civilians who lived or used the land lack legal titles or proof of ownership. Contested land ownership is not merely a legal and administrative issue but reflects a wider problem: a failure of Sri Lankan authorities to fully consider the consequences of the conflict for the country's many affected populations. During the war, normal land administration was suspended. In addition, the land documents of many families who were forcibly displaced were destroyed, damaged, or lost. In some cases, other civilians occupied their land.
In several cases, even after residents were informed that their property had been released, they have found security forces unwilling to leave, or still occupying a portion of the area, leaving some families displaced. Partial land release, with security forces camped close by, causes practical problems over access to water or roads, and increases fear of surveillance or harassment by soldiers. The government's failure to act on pledges of releases have increased distrust and suspicions between local communities and the authorities.
The police told us that they were leaving and that we could to return to our homes. A police officer standing nearby, told us again, in front of the navy, that we can go back home. However, a navy high-up told us that they would only leave if the president [then Rajapaksa], were to order them to do so. And that until then, they would continue to live on our land. We've been made refugees in our own village.
In some areas that the military occupied during the war, the state has moved to formally acquire the land in the post-war period, including under the Sirisena-led administration. While it is apparent that the military has commenced acquisition of some such lands with consideration for the due process rights of former residents, its slow or stalled progress in releasing additional lands has intensified fear that it is biding its time and seeks to consolidate its hold.
Military occupations of land occur frequently during armed conflicts. However, in Sri Lanka, the security forces have occupied new land even after the end of the war and the defeat of the LTTE, expanding their role and presence in civilian activities, including infrastructure development, tourism, and administration.
For instance, on July 17, 2010, a year after the war ended, a group of masked men, armed with clubs and assault weapons, entered the village of Ragamwela, Panama, in southeastern Ampara district. They burned down seven huts, assaulted villagers, and forcibly evicted residents in a midnight attack. Although the villagers filed a complaint with the police, no action had been taken at time of writing. Instead, when the residents tried to return to their land after the attack, the local police blocked them.
The navy and air force both established camps in the area and began construction of a resort and an international conference center. In this case, the villagers were largely from Sri Lanka's majority Sinhalese ethnic community who had been were forcibly displaced by the military after the war had ended.
Human Rights Watch has documented other cases of land grabs following the war, including in the Eastern Province, which the security forces claimed to have "liberated" entirely in July 2007. In November 2009, the security forces cut civilian access to the mosque in Karamalaiootru, in Trincomalee. On November 5, 2011, military personnel came into the village of Ashraf Nagar and demanded that all its occupants vacate. In all such cases the security forces created military camps or otherwise established a presence on the land.
While the government typically defends the military occupation of land as important for national security, in most cases that rationale is suspect. The use of the land for tourism or agriculture points to the real interest rooted in commercial gain. In at least four sites included in this report, land occupied by the military under the pretext of national security is being utilized for commercial purposes.
Residents of Panama have alleged that military occupation of land there was not for national security at all but purely for tourism and generating revenue. During the Rajapaksa administration, the air force, which occupied 365 acres in the area, commenced the construction of an international conference center, and has been building beach-front chalets for tourists. The navy, which had been occupying about 300 acres, including residential and cultivation lands belonging to the people of Ulpassa, Egodayaya, and Horakanda since the end of 2009, have built a tourist resort, Lagoon Cabanas.
In instances where land has been released, there are continuing problems for returnees. The lack of adequate resettlement assistance has been a critical challenge. For war-affected internally displaced persons the state generally offers a package that includes a resettlement allowance, cooked food, and cash for land clearance. Other assistance such as permanent housing and livelihood aid depends on specific criteria set out by the state, humanitarian agencies, or donors.
However, Human Rights Watch found that in practice there is no uniform application of this policy. Some returnee families did not receive the full resettlement package when they returned to their lands formerly occupied by the military. In some cases, people who initially resettled from IDP camps and ended up in another form of displacement—living with friends and relatives, in rented properties, or even in IDP camps closer to their original properties, because their land was still under military occupation—were denied assistance when their land was eventually released.
Partial releases pose a problem for returnee communities as some land is released, while the military retains control of neighboring land without looking at boundaries and community infrastructure. For instance, Nadeswara College in Kankesanthurai (KKS), Jaffna district, was released in May 2016, but two of the school buildings remain under police occupation, as do many of the nearby houses and the school's potable water well. Partly as a result, school attendance is still significantly lower than prior to the outbreak of the war, and the school is facing serious challenges in restoring full services.
My nephew had seen them [the navy] removing my roof tiles and alerted me. I rushed there and watched from outside the barbed wire fence, as they razed my house to the ground. My hopes and dreams of returning to my home someday, were crushed before my eyes.
Human Rights Watch also documented the destruction of Hindu temples, a mosque, a Buddhist temple, and a church that took place during the post-war period when these sites were still occupied by the security forces.
During the final months of the war, Tamil residents in the Vanni were forced to vacate their lands and retreat with the LTTE ahead of the advancing military. At the end of the war, the military transported many of these villagers, who had ended up as human shields during the fighting, to a large camp called Menik Farm, where they were detained. Under international pressure civilians held there were gradually released and families started returning to their homes. Menik Farm was eventually shut down in 2012. At that time, however, activists estimated that about 26,000 people remained displaced because the military had retained control over their land. They were later forcibly relocated.
We were one of the last groups from Menik Farm to be resettled. It was on September 24, 2012. There was UN pressure to close the camps. We were brought in trucks to Vattappalai school. We spent the night in the school. Then the elders were brought to a piece of land and told that we could not go home, that we would live there. Our belongings were then dropped in the area. It was like a jungle.
Although all three major ethnic communities in the country—Tamils, Muslims, and the Sinhalese—are affected by military occupation of land in the north and east, the vast majority of cases impact the Tamil community. The military occupation of land is a significant stumbling block to post-war normalization and reconciliation, heightening concerns that the Sinhalese-dominated state is seeking to diminish the rights of minorities through continued militarization and territorial aggrandizement. The scale of military presence and its involvement in multiple activities of civilian life is thus a key challenge in post-war Sri Lanka.
Both Sri Lankan and international law make clear that land occupation by security forces can be appropriate when necessary to serve legitimate security imperatives and when the rights of those affected are respected. Many members of affected communities have filed legal challenges, alleging lack of due process in the land acquisition process and pointing to discrepancies between the official stated purpose of military land occupations and actual uses of the land.
Although affected communities have focused on securing release of their lands and are demanding minimal assistance from the government, there is also a need to ensure justice and appropriate reparations for those harmed by the land occupations. The government has proposed an Office of Reparations, but it is yet to be seen if this institution will address the issue of military occupation of land.
In general, the government needs to improve both the quality and quantity of land releases, ensuring that more affected individuals and communities get their land back and that flaws in returns are addressed. The government's approach seems at best ad hoc, and decisions are too often left to the discretion of the security forces, without a serious effort to systematically map and review military use of land as well as the status of release and reparations initiatives.
One indicator of lack of transparency is the lack of aggregated data on military occupation of land. As the UN high commissioner for human rights noted in his report on the implementation of UN Human Rights Council Resolution 30/1 and 30/4 in January 2018, "The full extent of land under military occupation claimed by civilians remains in question." Although the government has provided statistics for occupation, its figures remain contested, a situation compounded by the fact that some land is claimed by other state agencies, such as the forest department and the Sri Lanka Ports Authority.
Publicly commit to releasing all private and public lands that are currently occupied by the military unless specifically required for strategic state purposes. New land acquisitions by the military must demonstrate a strategic state purpose and the absence of alternate land that can be used for the said purpose.
Ensure pledges on land returns are time bound and transparent to deter unnecessary delays in implementation, and to strengthen public trust and confidence.
Remove the authority of state security forces as the primary arbiter on land occupation and instead ensure a public and transparent process.
Conduct an immediate review and mapping to ascertain current occupation by the security forces and assess civilian claims of ownership or use of the land. This review should include both lands privately owned and public lands such as schools, hospitals, grazing lands, and beaches. This review should be conducted by either by an independent body such as the Human Rights Commission or a multi-stakeholder mechanism including representatives from the military, district level administrations, and civil society.
Establish an independent body composed of stakeholder representatives to visit areas occupied by the security forces to determine the impact of continued military presence including checkpoints and access to farms, residences, schools, places of worship, and other facilities used for civilian activities.
Ensure that legal processes of land acquisition are strictly adhered to, including providing affected communities appropriate notification in all languages.
Where relocations are necessary, ensure the security forces identify suitable alternate land in full consultation with the affected community.
Implement the National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP) and the National Policy on Durable Solutions for Conflict Affected Persons in the event of relocations.
Ensure the basic needs of relocated communities are addressed, including with regard to housing, livelihoods, and access to basic services.
Ensure that the issue of military land occupation and loss of property are included as grievances for which individual and collective reparations can be considered. This should include long-term occupation and usage without rent and destruction to buildings, infrastructure, and land.
Follow up with state authorities to ensure that land released by the military is handed over to civilian owners along with proper documentation.
Call for legal and policy reforms relating to land to ensure restitution and other forms of reparations can be effectively implemented.
Ensure that recommendations from the Consultation Task Force, which reflect the views of displaced communities and domestic and international experts, are incorporated into the reparations office's policies and plans.
Loss of rent from private entities for lease of land for commercial purposes, e.g., telecommunication towers.
Ensure that in areas where release of land is being undertaken in a phased manner, full properties are released, and access to roads, infrastructure, and sources of livelihood are provided.
Ensure that lands and properties are released back to the public in proper and usable condition and that there is no deliberate damage or destruction prior to release.
Investigate and take action against any military personnel who damage or destroy property, including disciplinary measures and, where appropriate, criminal prosecution.
Comply with the government's commitment to cease military involvement in commercial ventures including, but not limited to, hotels, resorts, shops, restaurants, farms, pre-school teaching, and natural resource extraction (e.g., illegal sand mining) in the north and east.
Promptly and impartially investigate allegations of post-war destruction of buildings, such as houses and places of religious worship, in areas held by the security forces. All those responsible, regardless of rank, should be appropriately prosecuted.
Investigate all allegations of harassment and intimidation by security force personnel of people advocating the release of occupied land, including residents, and community and civil society activists.
Establish a process for addressing unresolved land claims and disputes, including complex land disputes involving different ethnic communities and multiple state agencies. A process for mediating and resolving such disputes should ensure that district level actors, affected communities, state agencies, civil society leaders, and politicians are involved, so as to reach sustainable solutions.
Coordinate with key state agencies, including ministries of resettlement and defense, departments of forests and wildlife conservation, and the Mahaweli Authority, to examine land claims, while giving priority to claims made by displaced communities.
Address the situation of the landless, including those currently displaced and originally from areas occupied by the military.
Ensure implementation of the "National Policy on Durable Solutions for Conflict Affected Persons" passed by the Cabinet in 2016.
Ensure that basic resettlement assistance to all persons returning to their lands, or being relocated, includes payment for land clearance, rations, and a basic allowance, in a systematic and consistent manner.
Ensure assistance for sustainable housing to all those returning to their lands or being relocated including cost of materials and labor.
Address community infrastructure needs including ensuring drinking and portable water, electricity, roads, public transport, and access to schools and health centers.
Attempt as far as possible to restore original lands in the areas occupied by the security forces even in cases where persons have been provided houses in relocation sites.
Verify the status of the land, including previous ownership, before investing in new projects on land provided by the state, particularly where the land was occupied by the military.
Review ownership of land before paying rent to the military for the use of land, and in case of occupation of private lands by the security forces, ensure payment to legal civilian owners.
Encourage the Sri Lankan government to carry out a mapping of lands held by the military that involves the participation of the public.
Call upon the government to rapidly continue the process of land release.
Press the government to take steps to implement UN Human Rights Council Resolution 30/1, including to release lands held by the military.
Appraise plans for land acquisition for development projects to ensure no or minimum displacement of communities.
Evaluate projects to ensure that no projects are for the profit of the military and exclude communities.
Insist upon ensuring rehabilitation and compensation before funding housing or tourism development projects, in compliance with the NIRP.

Five Canadian Banks Employ SecureKey Blockchain System to Identify Users
Five Canadian banks will employ a blockchain-based user identification system developed by tech startup SecureKey Technologies.
Five Canadian banks will be employing a blockchain-based user identification system developed by tech startup SecureKey Technologies, Bloomberg reports on May 1.
Per the report, the Verified.Me digital identity system is now available to clients of the Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Desjardins Group. The service will soon be available to users of the services provided by the Bank of Montreal and National Bank of Canada as well, while Sun Life Financial will reportedly be the first North American insurer to use the system.
Bloomberg quotes SecureKey CEO Greg Wolfond as stating that he expects the service to be used by consumers to prove their identity to access and open bank accounts, as well as government services, by the end of 2019. He also noted:
"They're going to be able to share their data in a secure and trusted way, which they never really could before."
The adoption of this new identification system is reportedly part of a shift towards open banking — letting consumers share their financial data with other companies — called for by the Canadian Bankers Association.
As Cointelegraph reported last month, mainstream media corporation Thomson Reuters was awarded a patent for a blockchain-based identity management system.
Also, at the beginning of April, it has been reported that, in an apparent first, global online payments firm PayPal has made an investment in a blockchain startup — one that focuses on leveraging the technology to give users more control over their digital identities.

These include recent screenings at the prestigious 42nd Cleveland International Film Festival, the Indian Film Festival of Los Angles, Atlanta Film Festival and the New York Indian Film Festival.
Talking about last year, it is not often that a film can boast of a simultaneous premiere at three prestigious International Film Festivals – Busan International Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival & Mumbai's MAMI and, go on to win the Grand Jury award at the latter. Yet, Gali Guleiyan did just that in 2017!!
All this perhaps serves as the perfect launchpad for the film to release theatrically in India and worldwide soon.
Gali Guleiyan, is a Hindi psychological drama about a man trapped within the walls and alleys of Old Delhi and his own mind, who attempts to break free to find a human connection. The main protagonist is played by the extremely talented Manoj Bajpayee ably supported by an ensemble cast of actors par excellence – Ranvir Shorey, Neeraj Kabi and Shahana Goswami along with debutant child actor Om Singh. Shot entirely on locations, the film is directed by Los Angeles-based debutant filmmaker and winner of Director Guild of America Award, Dipesh Jain.
Not just the stellar cast, the film also boasts of some of the best technicians. Many Oscar, Emmy and Grammy winning/nominated artists have worked on the film that was completed at top Hollywood facilities like Fox studios, Light Iron and Skywalker Sound. The post-production took place in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.
Earlier, talking about the film, Dipesh had said, "When Shuchi (my sister & producer) and I started this journey of making Gali Guleiyan, we felt that it was a bold and risky story especially for a debut film. But it's a story very close to our heart and takes you into the depths of human mind and emotions. In many ways it is an ode to my growing up years in the alleys of Old Delhi- to my personal fears and a feeling of entrapment that I had experienced as a child. I have been extremely blessed to have an ensemble cast of brilliant actors each of whom has breathed life into the characters they play with such élan! To ensure the best look and feel for our audience, we have ensured that top of the line technicians worked on it. Currently in a successful Festival run, we are now looking forward to its theatrical release worldwide soon."
Directed by debutant Dipesh Jain, produced by Shuchi Jain of Exstant Motion Pictures,
GALI GULEIYAN will soon release in India and Worldwide.

Thoughts on Some Recent NHL News
by Lyle Richardson | Sep 16, 2018 | Soapbox | 8 comments
Silly Pacioretty debate
Even though the Montreal Canadiens traded Max Pacioretty last week to the Vegas Golden Knights. there's ongoing debate amongst Habs followers over whether he requested a trade.
At this point, does it really matter anymore? This pointless finger-pointing doesn't change the fact he now belongs to another club. It won't change how most Canadiens fans feel about Pacioretty or general manager Marc Bergevin.
Move on, Canadiens fans! You've got bigger things to worry about this season.
What next for Yzerman?
Steve Yzerman surprised everyone last Tuesday by stepping down as general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He did it for the right reasons, as the constant travel between Tampa Bay and his home in Detroit was took a toll on his family life.
There's already speculation Yzerman could take over next summer from Ken Holland as GM of the Red Wings. However, Holland's signed through 2019-20 and Yzerman isn't about to back-stab his old boss to get that job.
Some suggest Yzerman could be in line for the GM's role with the expansion Seattle franchise. Given his desire to be closer to home, it's unlikely he'll be taking a job on the west coast.
Weirdness in Ottawa
Did anyone in the Ottawa Senators' front office really believe that weird-ass video featuring defenseman Mark Borowiecki interviewing team owner Eugene Melnyk about the club's future plans was a good idea? If it was Melnyk's idea, it certainly says a lot about the unwillingness of his staff to reject his wackier notions.
Melnyk's got a reputation as an outspoken guy. Over the past year, however, his public statements about the team have raised questions about the caliber of his ability as a franchise owner.
Senators fans are growing fed up with his antics while some pundits are calling for his ouster. They're questioning the steadiness of the hand on the tiller, even more so since they traded Erik Karlsson last week to San Jose. For my thoughts on that move, follow this link.
While among the NHL's best two-way forwards, Henrik Zetterberg was never rewarded with the Selke Trophy. (Photo via NHL Images)
No Selke for Zetterberg
Through most of his 15-year NHL career, now-retired Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg was among the league's best two-way forwards.
One reason why he won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2008 was his defensive play. His efforts killing off a five-on-three against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 4 of the '08 Stanley Cup Final became the stuff of lore among Wings fans.
Nevertheless, Zetterberg was never honored with the Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward. Indeed, the closest he came was finishing third among the finalists in 2008.
To be fair, Zetterberg was in his prime at the same time as such noteworthy two-way forwards as Pavel Datsyuk, Patrice Bergeron and Anze Kopitar. Still, it's unfortunate that he was never properly recognized for his efforts.
McQuaid to the Rangers
Overshadowed by the trades of Pacioretty and Karlsson this week, the Boston Bruins shipped defenseman Adam McQuaid on Tuesday to the New York Rangers. Entering his 10th NHL season, this will be his first with a different club.
A big, physical stay-at-home blueliner, the 32-year-old McQuaid was one of the Bruins' last links to their 2011 Stanley Cup championship roster. However, he was being squeezed out by the Bruins' depth in promising young rearguards.
McQuaid has one year remaining on his contract and a long injury history. One wonders if the Cornwall, PEI native has a future with the Rangers.
Players to decide if there's another lockout?
The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun recently suggested the potential for a future NHL lockout rests with the players. Seems many team owners are happy for the most part with the current collective bargaining agreement.
The players, meanwhile, aren't happy about the escrow claw-backs from their salaries. However, the ongoing rise of league revenue and a new franchise expected to open in Seattle within two-to-three years might persuade them not to take the early opt-out from the CBA next September.
Because I cover the NHL for a living, I'm hoping there's no early end to this CBA. For that matter, I hope both sides to reach an agreement on a new deal before the current one expires in 2022. I've had my fill of NHL labor disputes.
Mark Allan	on September 16, 2018 at 4:05 pm
You're spot on about the Pacioretty trade-request debate.
And about fans of the Habs having other more-pressing concerns.

Thanks, guys! I'll certainly need it if there's another lockout.
Flyer Fan	on September 16, 2018 at 10:34 pm
It's so ridiculous that the players constantly bring up escrow as a sore point. It's simply a mathematical mechanism to ensure a 50/50 revenue split.
One way to limit the impact would be to stop agreeing to the yearly escalator in the cap number.

Greed knows no bounds.
Money is not the root of all evil, the love of money is.
George O	on September 17, 2018 at 1:45 pm
I've often wondered – if money is indeed the root of all evil, as many in the pulpits preach, why do those same churches always have their hands out?

This premium quality cotton and linen blend twill has such a stunning subtle sheen to its superfine weave that you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a sateen fabric. With the chic and smart handle of a lightweight gabardine, this fabric is super sleek and you'll never run out of designs to make from it! The added detail of fine linen slubs create extra interest to an otherwise plain fabric.
Stable width wise and crisp and stable lengthwise, yet still maintaining a soft drape quality - perfect for super smart trench coats! The Victory Patterns - Ulysses Trench Coat is perfect for this linen cotton blend!
Black Sea Silky Twill is a truly rich black that will make a wardrobe full of go-to garments you'll never regret making. Think jackets, waistcoats and trousers for a coordinated style. Pencil and A-line skirts would also look superb, as would pinafore, pencil and princess seam dresses. Don't forget more relaxed styles such as fit and flare and circle skirts or dresses.The sky really is the limit with this super versatile twill!

Companies could very easily get the amount of HDO plywood they will require to be able to make sure they are able to accomplish any task, regardless of the size, plus make sure they are able to utilize the plywood for more tasks down the road.

Incredibly simple to make and full of flavor, talking about the Tagliata is talking about a dish that is recognized all over the world. Tagliata is a term that translates from the Italian "cut" and is a dish composed of slices of thin cuts accompanied by vegetables that, together, form a delicacy worthy of even the most demanding palate. The origin of the Tagliata goes back to the region of Tuscany, specifically in Florence. It is considered that this dish is the modernized version of the famous "Bistecca alla fiorentina" whose preparation consists of a thick sirloin cut accompanied by its bone.
We know that all chefs have a particular style when it comes to presenting a dish, but we recommend using a piece of meat with a soft consistency in the recipe. The cooking time depends strictly on the thickness of the cut and the taste of the diner although in most cases, it is suggested to leave the Tagliata slightly cooked on the outside with a pink tone inside.
Due to the nature of the cut, which is lean meat, it is essential to accompany the Tagliata with a wine with medium body and light presence with fruity aftertaste.
Tagliata recipe for a portion.
1.- Leave the meat out of the fridge for a while before cooking it, 45 min / 1 hour, to avoid cold inside.
2.- Heat the griddle before putting the entrecôte.
3.- Cook the entrecote 5 minutes per side. Do not twist it with a fork or sharp objects. If the entrecôte is leaky, it will not retain its juice and it will be less tasty.
4.- Remove the meat from the fire and slice it into cuts of about 2 cm.
5.- Arrange the cuts on a bed of arugula.
6.- Spread a few parmesan shavings on top and season with balsamic vinegar and oil from Modena.
Note 1: Since we like the flavor of the meat itself and the Parmesan already gives it the salty point, we don't add salt. However, if you wish, it can be seasoned with a little salt and pepper before putting the Parmesan, the oil and The vinegar.
Note 2: The indicated cooking time is for a medium cooking point.

Influenced by my aunt, who was once a member of the famed Takarazuka Theatrical Company, as well as my father and family who loved classical music, I studied ballet, piano, music, and traditional Japanese dance as a child. My father was the founder of Company KIDDYLAND in Harajuku.
I always love music and dance and I used to be appeared on Stage and TV commercials since my school days. After I graduated Tamagawa university women's college in Tokyo ,I went to the US to study Dance, Ballet and Aerobics , then I came to England in the early 1990s. After living in England for ten years, I stayed in Brisbane, Australia for two years. I had the chance to visit almost every ballet and music schools in Australia. I also followed Australia's world of sports as much as possible. The high level achieved by the arts and sports in Australia filled me with motivation.
In the spring of 2005 I created the JUMI Ballet Coordinate Office on the heartfelt requests from parents and guardians in Japan to help provide support for children. I was not sure if I was the best person for this role, but many friends warmly lent their support. And I have realized recently that I have become the mum of almost 100 children !!. All childrean are very lovely !!.
Then in the fall of 2009, I took the step of converting JUMI Ballet Coordinate Office in to the JUMICo.,Ltd. giving this venture a more precise form. As such, JUMI Co.,Ltd. was born from these modest feelings of love and affection. I hope that I can joyfully work with everyone to enlarge this circle of heartfelt trust between people. Connections between people are true treasures. I believe that life is all about making connections. And I feel extremely grateful to everyone who has supported me.
I am also deeply grateful to my kind friends who are righteous, who have provided me with support and who understand my work the best. Thank you for always giving me your support. The advice and support provided by these friends, who are active as experts in many fields, is priceless. For me, they are real treasures.
Furthermore, I truly appreciate all of the kind customers who visit Office JUMI. Having the opportunities to meet such people fills me with joy. I also love exchanging e-mails with everyone! Thank you for connecting with me, even though I am still inexperienced in this area. I am going to try my hardest, so your continued support is much appreciated.
Every day I feel grateful for being entrusted with the management of this office and having the chance to do work based on connections with important people.I am also grateful to those who seek out our small Company JUMI and entrust us with work. Thank you so much. I also want to express my limitless love and affection to my deard parents who raised me.
I hope everyone has a warm,bright, and wonderful day.

I love Amazon's Kindle ebook platform. I have bought so many books cheaply that I have greatly enjoyed. I have bought so many books that I wouldn't have bought at all if I wasn't able to get them for $0.00-$2.99. So the basic ebook platform is great however there is an issue that has been a pain point for me for a while and another I just discovered today.
One of the features of the Kindle platform is Personal Documents the ability to upload your own PDF documents and read them on the Kindle. This is great except I mainly want to read PDF documents on a computer and the Kindle apps for Computers don't support the personal documents feature.
I became a Amazon Prime customer this year and one the benefits of that program is the ability to check out certain Kindle ebooks for free. I have been reading the first book I checked out on my Kindle and I wanted to continue reading it today over lunch on my computer but only Kindle devices support that feature.
I really wish Amazon would make all the Kindle platform features available in all their Kindle software applications.

In his editorial to Volume 40: Architecture of Peace Reloaded, Arjen Oosterman looks at re-building efforts in post-conflict societies and questions how architectural intelligence can be applied in such entangled scenarios.
The essay highlights some of the inherent contradictions that architects have to face when trying to build towards an Open Society. The claims by architects, in particular the post-war Team 10 group, which disbanded the famous CIAM organization of modern architecture, are confronted with a rereading of Karl Popper's seminal book.
