Plus, there's an entire chapter devoted to defending specific actions like Dribble Drive Motion, Ball Screens, Overloads and more using the Match Up Zone.


The West Australia state government is expected to face another legal challenge for its proposed extension of the Roe 8 highway, according to ABC News.
This fresh challenge will be filed by local traditional owner Corina Abraham who will argue that the WA government's process for granting Aboriginal heritage approval is flawed.
In June 2015, the Aboriginal Cultural Materials Committee decided to approve the state government's request for disturbing registered aboriginal sites in order to extend the Roe 8 highway.
Roe Highway is a 35 kilometre limited access highway and partial freeway in the south-eastern suburbs of the city of Perth, linking Middle Swan in the north-east with Bibra Lake in the south-west. It forms half of Perth's outer ring road. Roe Highway stage 8, or Roe8, is the proposed 8km Freemantle Eastern Bypass at the southern end of Roe Highway.
It was noted that Roe 8 is the first phase of the state's US$1.2 billion Perth Freight Link development and is a key component of the entire project.
The decision was a turn-around from the committee's rejection of the request that was made during February 2013. ABC reported that sources have said that Abraham will file the legal challenge in WA's Supreme Court.
In December, the chief justice overturned the environmental approval of the controversial Roe 8 highway extension, saying that the environmental assessment and the government's approval were "invalid".


After watching his side register a crucial 2-1 win away in Verona against Chievo on Sunday afternoon, Massimiliano Allegri has granted his players three days of recuperation with the Bianconeri set to return to training on Thursday 10 November.
The break comes on the back of a run of seven fixtures in 22 days since the middle of October for Allegri's men between Champions League and Serie A commitments.
On getting back to business later in the week, the champions can begin planning for their next league encounter at home to Pescare on 19 November at Juventus Stadium.
Let the show begin at J-Stadium!
Firing on all cylinders for Friday!

Steffon Armitage on the move and England international set to join him in France

One of the most talked about England players who didn't get selected for the 2015 World Cup could be on the move in the French Top 14 next summer.
Steffon Armitage was a hot topic in the lead-up to last finals where pool stage elimination cost Stuart Lancaster and his assistants their jobs as England management.
Many felt the flanker, equipped with enviable ball-stealing skills at the breakdown, should have been included in the World Cup squad even though at the time he was playing his club rugby for three-in-a-row European champions Toulon.

Lancaster refused to amend the RFU's no-overseas players selection policy and although he went on to lose his job in December 2015, the snub resulted in Armitage opting to continue his career in France when his contract next came up for renewal.
He swapped Toulon for Pau in summer 2016. However, with Simon Mannix's team now struggling in the Top 14, Armitage has apparently held talks about the possibility of moving to Bordeaux.
The 32-year-old, who made his comeback in November following a serious Achilles injury in a Challenge Cup semi-final loss at Cardiff last April, is reported to have met with incoming Bordeaux boss Christophe Urios, the current Castres coach.
Meanwhile Kieran Brookes, one of the players included in Lancaster's ill-fated 2015 England squad, could join Armitage on the Top 14 scene.
The former Northampton tighthead's CV had recently been doing the rounds among a number of French top flight clubs. He joined Wasps at the beginning of the season after 73 appearances for the Saints.
Brookes, who has 16 England caps to his name, is rated as the 13th best tighthead in the Premiership according to the RugbyPass Index, with an RPI of 69.

Q: Permutations and combinations and divisibility problem I have a problem with this question. I solved it and also got the correct answer but my process is not correct as the solution given in the book is completely different.

The number of $5$ digit numbers which are divisible by $4$, with digits from the set $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$ and the repetition of digits allowed, is ___ .

What I did was that I took the unit digit only 4 but as I checked the solution  their are also some numbers ending with 2 and divisible by 4 . But using only 4 as the unit digit I got the correct answer.
Please clear my doubt.

A: The last two digits need to be divisible by 4. This means that given the conditions, the last two digits can be $\{12, 24, 32, 44, 52\}$
Since the repetition of digits is allowed, the remaining 3 places can be filled in $5^3$ ways for each of the 5 cases. The total number of ways is thus $5 \times 5^3 = 625$

Graduation round-up
Mesorah graduates
Yavneh Academy
DALLAS — Dr. David Portnoy, Yavneh Academy's head of school, offered some sage advice to the 29 new "Class of 2015" graduates who stepped across the stage to accept their high school diplomas Sunday, May 31.
This class, incidentally, is flying pretty high right now with acceptances from 46 colleges and universities in North America and Israel and receiving more than $2.5 million in scholarships.
Dr. Portnoy acknowledged that the extraordinary travel and new life experiences coming the way of Yahveh graduates should be savored in the years to come. But his advice to them for life after college was emphatic:
"Come back to Dallas," he said. "This is your home and we want you to come back."
As many as 800 people — including friends, students, parents, alumni, staff, faculty and board members — attended the Twentieth Commencement ceremony at the Schultz Rosenberg Campus.
Yavneh's 2015 graduates include Taylor Ann Blue, Steven Jacob Bokov, Raphael Time Burstein, Haley Sloane Chestler, Hadas Cohen, Meir Lev Epstein, Tom Erlich, Ari Yaakov Geller, Macy Fischer Golman, Cassandra Rachel Gross, Ori Mordechai Guttman, Samantha Eve Harris, Aaron Michael Herschberg, Jacob Edward Herstein, Austin Elias Jacoby, Jonathan Daniel Kravitz, Scott Noah Lacritz, Alexandra Rochelle Lavi, Elvira Ariela Levi, Sophia Rose Lynn, Ethan Isaac Pearson, Grant Alan Prengler, Serina Lindy Romick, Zachary Sparks Romick, Zachary Herman Schultz, Noah Daniel Shore, Noah Ross Weiss, Erin Shira Wernick, Clara Galler Wohlstadter.
Of those, Jacob Herstein, Raphael Burstein, Austin Jacoby, Scott Lacritz, Serina Romick, Zachary Romick, Noah Shore, and Erin Wernick graduated with honors.
Excellence was the continued watchword of the Class of 2015, officials said. Graduates were only required to perform 130 hours of community service per student but averaged 700 apiece — a collective total of nearly 20,000 hours.
The AP, SAT and ACT test scores of the class by far exceeded both national and Texas state averages, and eight of the 29 graduates earned an academic average of higher than 94 percent.
The most popular colleges expected to be attended by Yavneh's Class of 2015: University of Texas at Austin, Yeshiva University, the University of Maryland, and Washington University in St. Louis, it was announced during the ceremony. Six students in the class intend to use next year as gap year.
Valedictorian Jacob Herstein, who will be attending the University of Texas next year, observed during his speech that while students are learning in the years to come they "need to treat every moment like a once-in-a lifetime opportunity … and take chances."
Dr. Portnoy, meanwhile, went about the business of thanking alumni, parents, friends, families, supporters, faculty and Yavneh's board of directors. Then, before he certified the class for graduation, he continued a tradition of warmly addressing each student out loud and sharing a memory or thought that marked that student's relationship with the school.
Naomi Schrager, the school's former head of Judaic programming who is moving to Israel this summer, presented the school's Sylvia and William Epstein Golden Wedding Anniversary Fund Awards for Excellence in Judaic Studies honors to Meir Epstein, who will attend Yeshivah University next year, and Erin Wernick, who will take a gap year to travel to Israel and then attend the University of Maryland.
Rabbi Meir Tannenbaum, the school's associate principal, for Judaic curriculum, offered the benediction. During his remarks he offered advice on how to stay right with God.
"As you leave the protective bubble that has been your home … you will no longer be standing in front of the window where God's presence has been obvious and clear," he said. "You will have to search further and dig deeper and have faith God is there anyway. … Peer through those cracks … Visualize the eye of God looking at you lovingly, highly and affectionately."
Dan Prescott, incoming president of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, said it is probably a testament to the importance of Jewish education that these students have done so well and will continue to do so into the future.
"It's a tremendous expense … and not to be taken lightly," he said. "The dollars could be spent elsewhere. But each one who made it to this moment, try to feel proud, because this is the reward.
Mesorah High School for Girls
DALLAS — Thirteen graduates from the Mesorah High School for Girls received their diplomas Sunday, June 7 during the 12th annual commencement exercise at Congregation Ohr HaTorah.
As many as 300 — parents, friends, family, teachers and students — attended the event, officials said.
In comments offered during the ceremony, Rabbi Avraham Zev Kosowsky, headmaster, wished this class of graduating students all the best.
"Class of 2015, as we have reached the final moments of your senior year, my bracha to each of you is that you will always direct all of your actions toward Hashem and be a source of light amongst the Jewish people as true Jewish women," he said.
Members of the graduating class included Penina Bracha Abrams, Aliza Leyla Benporat, Rachael Berk, Brocha Burr, Tamar Cohen, Shira Kosowsky, Ellianna Kurtzer, Devorah Lender, Osnut Moyal, Aliza Rosenberg, Elki Schonbrunn, Eliya Shimon and Shira Slater.
Headed to Israel
Of the 13 graduates, 10 plan to travel to Israel to study next year. This number includes valedictorian Shira Kosowsky, salutatorian Brocha Burr and Penina Bracha Abrams, recipient of the Keser Shem Tov (Crown of the Good Name) award.
The remaining three members of the graduating class are planning to continue their education in the United States, Rabbi Kosowsky said.
Other speakers at the commencement included Don Goldstein, board president of the Mesorah High School board of directors, who delivered the opening remarks.
Meyer Denn, executive director of the Center for Jewish Education of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, congratulated the class on behalf of the Federation.
Rabbi Kosowsky and Susan Rich, assistant principal, presented the awards and diplomas.
Texas Torah Institute
DALLAS — The six graduating seniors in the Texas Torah Institute's Class of 2015 walked across stage at TTI's Haymann Family Campus on Sunday June 7, marking the institution's 10th commencement.
As many as 175 people were in the audience during the ceremony, according to officials.
The Class of 2015 consisted of Yehuda Benklifa, Moshe Avraham Cohen, Shlomo Leib Davis, Shlomo Zalman Kaufman, Menashe Chaim Roberts and Shlomo Yaakov Tanny.
As far as where they will be next year, three students — including valedictorian Shlomo Zalman Kaufman and Ben Torah Award winner Shlomo Yaakov Tanny — are staying in the Dallas area to attend TTI's Beis Medrash, which is an advanced post-high school yeshiva program.
The Ben Torah Award signifies the person in each TTI graduating class who stands out among his peers and most embodies the spirit and the lessons — the messages and ideals — of the Torah.
Two of the graduating students will be traveling to Israel to study and one — salutatorian Menashe Chaim Roberts — is undecided, officials said.
Incidentally, the Nathan and Blanche Mark Award for Academic Excellence went to Yehudah Benklifa.
Academic Dean Fred Wagner and Rabbi Moshe Aryeh Tropper presented the diplomas to the students.
Closing was delivered by Rabbi Eliyahu Kaufman, rosh hayeshiva.
Torah Day School
Torah Day School of Dallas held graduation ceremonies for its eighth-grade girls' and boys' classes at 10 a.m. and 6:45 p.m., respectively, June 7 on the school's North Dallas campus.
The 13 girls will attend Mesorah High School for Girls in the fall. The 10 boys will attend Yavneh Academy, Texas Torah Institute, Bais HaMedrash and Mesivta of Baltimore, Mesivta of Greater Los Angeles, Yeshiva Gedolah of Greater Detroit and Yeshiva Toras Chaim Denver.
Akiba Academy
On Sunday, May 31, Akiba Academy of Dallas celebrated its 45th eighth-grade graduation, the first held on the Schultz Rosenberg Campus since its inception in 2005.
Sixteen students walked across the stage with highest honors in general studies going to Maayan Abouzaglo and Judaic Studies going to both Zachary Bernstein and Avraham Tannenbaum.
Shea Doty was this year's recipient of the Marcus Rosenberg Cup, awarded to the graduating student who most embodies Akiba's mission.
In addition to a moving video presentation showcasing the graduates in their last few years with Akiba, attendees were also treated to speeches from each member of the graduating class thanking those that have influenced them the most and reminiscing on their time at Akiba.
The entire Akiba community is looking forward to seeing what this bright group accomplishes in the future, both immediate and long-term.
Congratulations graduates!

Game of Thrones Episode 5 — Fellowship of the Wight
By David French
About David French
Follow David French on Twitter
Spoilers, of course.
I fully confess that I'm going to watch every second of next week's episode – featuring Jon Snow, Jorah Mormont, and the rest of the Fellowship of the Ring, er, wight — battling it out against overwhelming odds while praying desperately for dragonfire salvation. If past battle episodes are any indication, it will be inventive, epic, incredibly shot, feature multiple gut-punches, and land itself in the pantheon of best episodes ever in the best television series ever.
But I'm going to have to try hard to forget how we got there. I don't think I've seen a stranger, dumber plan in, well, ever. Sure, let's risk the realm's greatest warriors in a suicide mission to capture an ice zombie. Sure, that ice zombie will thaw Cersei's frozen heart. Yep, everyone's going to unite against the common threat.
Tyrion was a great hand, for his psychotic nephew. Since then, his best service is humanizing Dany and restraining her worst impulses. Other than that, he's a strategic disaster and a font of dreadful ideas.
There were, of course good points in the episode. There always are. In two scenes we not only further defined Jon's identity — as a trueborn Targaryen heir — but we've set the stage for immense complications going forward. Jon, not Dany, has the best claim to the Iron Throne. Jon, however, faces revolt at home not just for his lengthy absence but also for his true birth. He's not Ned Stark's son. He's truly Targaryen. That has immense consequences.
This episode was pure table-setting. The battle lines between Arya and Sansa are coming into view. Jaime and Cersei's bond was reaffirmed. Sam is coming back north with information he doesn't yet understand. Dany (and Dany's dragon) have bonded with Jon. And, yes, the suicide mission is fully underway. I just wish it made more sense.

A lovely, quiet read exploring the sensuality and various love affairs of a single lady from a certain era. For a reader who enjoys a slow-pace.
anitafournier Mar 05, 2015
Disappointing, boring, couldn't wait for it to end. You would think that the author was writing from the perspective of a 75 yr old. I am almost 62 and could not relate to the old fashioned style of life that I surely did not experience in my life!

During this somewhat unruly cryptocurrency and digital asset market trend, there are interesting changes taking place. In the case of XRP, things are still looking pretty good, even though there are losses in both the USD and BTC segment. That in itself, while worrisome for any other market, only further strengthens the illusion of how stable this asset can be during volatile periods.
Throughout the second half of 2018, it has become more than clear XRP is a stable market. It is not a stablecoin by any stretch of the imagination, but it tends to hold its value quite well. Even right now, there are no real changes to speak of. One XRP is still valued at nearly $0.36, or 9,095 Satoshi. Both values are more than respectable, under the current circumstances.
It is due to this lack of change the XRP price remains so stagnant. While there is a 1.6% deficit in USD value and a 0.8% drop in BTC value, there is nothing to worry about just yet. In fact, one could argue the uptrend for XRP is still in effect despite this temporary setback. This asset was valued at $0.29 not that long ago, thus the current value seems more than acceptable.
Another big reason why Ripple's native asset remains so popular is due to the strong community supporting it. XRPBoy, while clearly a fan of this asset considers it to be the cheaper, faster, and safer option in the financial industry as a whole. That doesn't mean its value will appreciate in the coming weeks and months, although these are valuable traits to keep in mind.
The big news of the day comes from TokenPay. This company is launching a new decentralized exchange which offers full XRP support through custom-built wallets. It is also running on top of Tor, which can make for an interesting offering all things considered. It is also another platform rolling out XRP support, which is pretty interesting.
There are still plenty of people who remain hopeful XRP is getting listed on the Coinbase platform fairly soon. This rumor has circulated for quite some time now, yet the company is not too keen on exploring options in this regard at this time. That is only normal, as the SEC has not confirmed XRP is not a security. Even so, one can keep the hope alive that someday, things may change.
#Bitcoin = high fees, long delays, controlled by centralized oligopolies.#XRP = The Standard.
As the weekend trucks along, it seems unlikely any major XRP price changes can be expected. There will be some bearish momentum for now, although it can turn into very minor bullish momentum fairly quickly. All markets are going through a dip right now, although no spectacular changes will materialize, by the look of things.

In March 2009, Safe Air Company Ltd (SAC) wanted to purchase an aircraft but had insufficient funds. Just like any other firm, it had to use loan facility with the Gulf Bank, to secure a Ksh95 million.
SAC is an airline company based in Nairobi.
They needed a guarantor for such a loan, with Mohamud Hussein coming through for them with his property in Eastleigh, L.R No. Eastleigh 36/11/1. Unknown to him, this is what would land him into trouble, whose cartels would connive with SAC to secure more loans.
At the time, Hussein's property was valued at Ksh160 million.
Gulf Bank officials, after the deal was sealed, conspired with SAC to give them an additional loan of Ksh15 million (Murabaha Stock Finance). The loan was charged to Hussein's property, without his consent.
As if that is not enough, the bank again in liaison with SAC the borrower, constituted another facility(Tawarraq Working Capital Finance) Of Ksh58.6 million. Just like the previous mortgage facility, this was illegally secured using guarantor's property without his consent.
SAC failed to service the third loan, putting Hussein into an unanticipated debt. Gulf Bank sent Hussein a demand letter, which he acknowledged and negotiated payment deal.
After some time, the bank appointed Mohamed Muigai Advocates to issue a three months statutory notice seeking the payment of Ksh67.08 million. The bank had by then cleared the guarantor hence not liable on this facility.
Worth noting is that SAC had accepted liability in a letter dated March 2011. In May 2011, the bank decided to switch roles, making Hussein the borrower.
This was stipulated in two letters written on May 11 and June 30, 2011.
The bank has now issued Hussein with an auction notice to his property, instead of following up on the principal borrower, SAC Ltd.

Uzbek Farmers Forced to Give up their Land
Uzbek farmers Nargiza Mamajonova and Zuhra Azizova have complained to the Ozodlik radio that the state has confiscated their land. Both women said that they had rented abandoned land and invested all their money to establish successful farms. Today they are left with nothing.
Last year, Nargiza Mamajonova, a 38-year-old mother of five who lives in the Rishtan district of the Fergana region, received land on steppe territory through a tender process and cultivated the land at her own expense. "The land was obtained in accordance with a decision of the district hokim. But now I am told that this was a decision of the president. Now they have given my land to another farmer," explained Nargiza Mamajonova.
60-year-old Zuchra Azizova, the mother of eight children from the Muzrabad district of the Kashkadarya region, told Radio Ozodlik that in 2009 she leased seven hectares of abandoned and non-irrigated land. She invested her money to supply water and planted mulberry trees on two hectares. She said, "I bought mulberry trees with my own money and I bought this pump for 3 million soum. Now they are taking away the land that I cultivated and transformed into a garden."
She, like thousands of other Uzbek farmers, did not anticipate that this year the state would decide once again to redistribute farmland. This is the third time that farmers' lands have been re-distributed in the last five years.
On January 9, 2019, the Cabinet of Ministers issued a decree "On additional measures to optimize the land plots of farms and other agricultural enterprises, as well as the effective use of agricultural acreage." Subsequently, farmers across the country were forced to write statements that they had "voluntarily" surrendered their land.
According to the Decree, optimization does not apply to farms that use the land effectively, fulfill contractual obligations, have a material and technical basis, and have established multi-disciplinary activity.
But numerous appeals from farmers show that land is being selected regardless of the success of the farms and the land is being redistributed by commissions in closed tender processes. Dozens of farmers have published videos, in which they appeal to President Mirziyoyev to help them get their land back.
Nargiza Mamajonova too has made a heartfelt plea to the President:
"I ask you, I hope you will hear my appeal, if you do not hear and help, I do not know where and to whom to go. I am now in such a terrible situation …"

Republic RecordsDrake continues to dominate the charts. His new album Scorpion remains number one on the Billboard 200 for the fourth week in a row. That's the most weeks at the top of any album this year.
His fourth studio album sold 184,000 units for the week ending July 26.
Drake now has a career total of 25 weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart, tying him with JAY-Z for the second-most weeks at number 1 among hip-hop artists. Eminem leads with 32 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200.


I just got back home after a business trip. This trip entailed an offsite training event. At any event like this you have a couple of breaks in the morning and afternoon. These used to just be a "Break". A decade ago when cell phones really became prevalent these turned into "Communication Breaks". Everyone would dash out of the room and dial up their mobiles.
The vernacular has changed! It is now "Blackberry Breaks". I believe this now makes the 'crackberry' a brand like Kleenex. Even the couple of people with non-Blackberry Blackberry's like Treos and Windows Mobile devices were enjoying their "Blackberry Break".
I wonder if we'll be takin "iPhone Breaks", or just an "iBreak".

Did you mean flights from Netherlands ?
The Netherlands is home to about 16.5million people and it's the most densely populated country in Europe. Still, this won't be noticeable when you're exploring her sweeping countryside, and in the city, you'll be too distracted by all there is to take in and enjoy.
Most flights into the Netherlands land at her key international airport, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Other airports in the country include Rotterdam The Hague Airport, Eindhoven Airport, Groningen Airport Felde, and Maastricht Aachen Airport.
Holland's train network is extensive and tickets can easily be purchased from any NS (Netherlands Railways) ticket office. Travelling from one major city to the next is not difficult and most trains offer first and second class options. A tip: if you're travelling around the Randstad area (the zone comprising Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Rotterdam), opt for a first class ticket.
Holland is also connected to other major European cities by rail, such as Paris and London.
Start your trip in Netherland's capital, Amsterdam. Fondly known as the 'Venice of the North', it's a city where tree-lined canals proliferate and coffee shops are filled with lively chatter.
One of the best ways to take in the city is to hop onto a boat. Canal tours are aplenty, and there's also the option of jumping on an open-air tour bus or renting a bike and cruising around the city on two wheels. Either way, aim to start your day at Dam Square in the heart of the city. It's close to the 15th century Nieuwe Kerk and majestic Royal Palace, and Waterlooplein Market (the city's largest flea market) and Rembrandthuis Museum are also close by.
Stop by Leidseplein, one of Amsterdam's most popular squares. Busy and bustling with street entertainment, it'll make for a fun afternoon, though if it's some peace and tranquility that you're after, head on to Vondelpark or Oosterpark. Make sure you go to must-see museums like the Hermitage Amsterdam, Van Gogh Museum, and Rijksmuseum. The latter is Amsterdam's largest museum and home to some of the world's most important artworks, including seminal pieces by Rembrandt. Anne Frank House is another historical highlight, but get there early to beat the queues.
Looking for a cool bar or watering hole? Head to De Pijp, which means 'the pipe'. One of the city's hippest areas, you'll find yourself mingling with Amsterdam's coolest. More of a beer lover? Be sure to grab a cold one at the world-famous Heineken Brewery. For retail therapy, head to De Negen Straatjes ('The Nine Little Streets') and get lost wandering the brickwork lanes, designer boutiques, and vintage stores. Utrechtsestraat is another fun area to explore, and Albert Cuypmarkt is great for souvenirs and a chance to explore Dutch delicacies like cheese, stroopwafel, pickled herring, and poffertjes.
Other recommended attractions include a visit to the notorious Red Light District, the flower fields of Keukenhof Gardens, local cheese farms, windmills, and if time permits, visits to the fishing villages of Marken and Volendam.
You won't regret making day trips around the country. Visit Delft for traditional Dutch blue pottery (Delftware), Rotterdam to marvel at the city's interesting architecture (don't miss the Cube Houses), and The Hague is only a 48min trip from Amsterdam Central Station. Utrecht and Maastricht are also recommended, and if you're keen to go further, head over to Belgium and arrange for short tours of Antwerp and Brussels, or Ghent and Bruges.
An OV chip card will make getting around much easier. A stored-credit card that's available at any station, kiosk, or supermarket, use it to pay for rides on buses, trams, trains, and the metro. And whilst there's no separate OV chip card for tourists, you can easily opt for an 'anonymous' card and fill it up with credit at any service desk or machine at stations.

Are you a "JIC" Chick?
Are you a "JIC" Chick? If you are wondering what that is, it is a Just IN Case Chick. Break glass if needed. You may be a JIC Chick and not even know it. In the beginning of meeting someone, action ladies, I say again ACTION means more than words. Especially the words on a tiny screen that seem sooooo sweet. Awwww he tells me " Good Morning" and " Good Night" he is so sweet. Bla bla gaaaaaaaag. In the time you are reading this Blog, I could have sent a text to 10 women saying good morning. That morning text doesn't seem so sweet now huh? You may be falling down a S***hole, as No. 45 would say. Being 1 of many doesn't feel so sweet now. In the game of love, there are gestures and there are actions. Open you mind and do the math. Does he have more gestures than actions? You may be a JIC Chick. He emails you constantly but you don't have solid plans to see each other. You may be a JIC Chick. He has a text pattern, in the morning, lunchish, or nightish there is never really solid texting back n forth. You may be a JIC Chick. You both have established interests but texts replies are days later. You may be a JIC Chick. You get those pictures that seem like they are personal but they are general pictures, you may be a JIC Chick. You have a suspicion you might be a JIC Chick, guess what you are. The benefit for him? It requires little to no effort to maintain a potential relationship with you and he gets to have your attention when he decides.
Message here, if there is interest between you two, demand more, don't be a JIC Chick. Like a fire extinguisher that is rarely use, that will be you. Of course when he has a fire, do you want to come over to watch a movie?
Listen in this Friday at www.thecaffeineradio.com at 8 PST. For more warning signs so you wont be a JIC Chick.


The National Accountability Bureau on Wednesday told the Supreme Court of Pakistan that Swiss cases against PPP co-chairman President Asif Ali Zardari cannot be reopened as they were time-barred and their statutory limitation period has elapsed, DawnNewsTV reported.
The bureau, in its report, stated that "the federal government's failure to file a timely appeal meant that the cases against Asif Zardari are now time-barred."
It has legal issues, but Pakistan can get hold of all who were involved at that time NOT going to Swiss Courts, all must be investigated and held responsible for the money Pakistan lost. After recovery, they must go to jail.
The person who dragged the cases leading them to be time barred should be grilled first. He is his lawyer.
Looks like he gets lucky somehow. But if Pakistan's institutions are determined, I am sure they can more thief's who have looted the country.
NAB must be disbanded if this is its stance on the crimes committed by the known crooks of Pakistan. Meanwhile the assets of all its employees from top to bottom must also be kept under strict scrutiny.
Yes, western countries have time limits on inquiries. Well, Zardari like Nawaz Sharif has many countless properties.
Sharifs bought avenfield flats in 1990s from like 25 years now, and still justice was done. If there is a legit money laundering case then where does this "time-barred and their statutory limitation period has elapsed" argument comes from? Usman Dar once mentioned "NAB is totally biased right now", which turns out to be true to me. NAB does infact need reforms, which imran khan will do insAllah which I am totally optimistic about.
BTW, anyone reading this comment, "Happy Independence in adv :)".
Even one case can put him in jail for a long long time and there more than one case in the different courts.
If Asif Zardari's Swiss corruption cases have become time barred, then who was responsible? It was PPP's Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, who delayed contacting the Swiss government and courts. He defied our court orders. Therefore, he must be held accountable for his action, which helped Asif Zardari evade accountability.
Swiss laws have changed since, our new government must formally ask for the details of Asif Zardari and other Pakistanis who have stashed corruption money in Swiss banks, just as Indian government did and is getting full cooperation from the Swiss government. The people of Pakistan demand accountability of corrupt politicians.
The prescriptive period for the right to bring an action against a defendant acting in bad faith is always 30 years.
These are criminal cases and I fail to understand how can they be time-barred.
Well, there is always an opportunity to start new ones!?
I'm sure the gentleman has no shortage of corruption allegations that he could be investigated for.!!!
Use your imagination and come up with novel ways to handle the bull by the horn.
The US government finally nabbed (no pun intended) the infamous gangster and mob boss, Al Capone for Tax Evasion, when they couldn't make a case against him for racketeering, bootlegging, smuggling, murders, extortion and whole host of other criminal wrong doing.
So anything is possible, if people in the LEA use the techniiques to find other laws he may have broken. Money laundering, fake bank accounts, swindling etc do come to mind.
All those responsible for making these cases time barred in Swiss courts should be taken to task.
For minor crimes yes time bar is relevant but not for major crime for example treason and murder someone can be prosecuted 20 years later.
Zardari is right he is untouchable. Western countries make and break laws as they please. They only care about their own interest not like us where we do every unthinkable to please West. It also shows the corruption at its best in Pakistan. Punished the people who work for Pakistan and let criminals rule.
For sake of poor CJ should speed up the cases against Zardari. Every body knows about his corruption including huge amounts of assets offshore. CJ should also open an investigation against then PM of PPP for intentionally delaying the application to ensure that the case gets time barred.
It is so amazing how this corrupt Zardari gets away with all the criminal activities he has committed.
Thank you Yousuf Raza Geilani, your boss appreciates you made a great sacrifice by not sending letters to Swiss authorities for starting recover of looted wealth, but we the nation view your kind with utter contempt.
All criminal cases including money laundering with criminal propensity are not time barred. NAB is mistaken.
Only Zardari case could have opened not of Zardari and Musharraf both.
We should take Swiss government to international court to reopen these cases. They dont want to reopen because they are enjoying having all the looted money of the world leaders in their country.
Anything is possible give them the evidence!
It is part of the deal with establishment. He will not go to jail and he will do very gentle opposition.
Some crooks go scot -free, at least in this world.
Government of Pakistan should request Swiss authorities to open these cases again. what is the big deal in it?
Who allowed these cases to become time-barred?
This is ridiculous that Swiss cases against Zardari cannot be opened - why and what will happen to 200 Million US dollars that deposited in Swiss accounts by Asif Zardari? The money was made through corrupt practices and belongs to Pakistan and every effort both legally and diplomatically should be made to recover the looted money - don't let corrupt mafia get away with tax payers money!
"the federal government's failure to file a timely appeal meant that the cases against Asif Zardari are now time-barred." Total incompetence of the government's lawyers. They needed to hire a Swiss law firm if the didn't know Swiss law.
So is there a time limit for a thief. Shame on NAB.
In case SWISS case can't be opened in Switzerland, then all the equivalent amount recovered from all their properties in Pakistan from all NRO parties. If any property transferred to their family members should also be recovered, as stolen property if sold is still considered stolen, especially the family earned income is zero of his/her own effort, NOT the interest from stolen property.
It's very unfortunate that some serious crimes can have time limitations to resolve. Is it a (convenient) flaw in the system? Anyone who has/had pending cases for corruption, and other wrongdoings, should be dealt justly in favor of the country, and the victims, not the offender.
Zardari ....way smarter than Nawaz.
Thank you NAB instead helping the nation you are protecting Zardari . Why I am not surprised !
The Swiss case was the most pivotal case that could have apprehended Zardari long ago but corruption became crucial not to pursue this case diligently.
Why can't fresh cases be initiated to recover the looted national wealth of Pakistan ?
Take them to the ICJ. For fraud and corruption and a country (Switzerland) which has a history of keeping dirty money from atrocities, corruption and crime, it should be an easy win for Pakistan to not let them use obscure laws to keep these funds from the deserving people whose money has been stolen.
We all know how delayed tactics were implied, to rob nation wealth. SC can still take action we also know that.
Nevertheless, Mister Zardari is living on borrowed time.
If NAB has determined that the NRO did not cause any loss to the public exchequer, then this case should be closed without wasting further time and resources on it.
Swiss authorities are partners in crime of worldwide corruption.
He never leaves behind any evidence!
Do what MBS did in KSA / invite all suspected launderers and hold them in luxury hotel UNTIL they make acceptable offers to return.
Also - go against their assets in UK US France etc if Switzerland remain difficult.
Musharraf for his personal gains issued NRO, gave a free pass to all corrupts. Like so many others Zardari has taken advantage. There is n't anything you can do about it.
So will PPP support PTI in the federal coalition?
Why not, a crook is always a crook!
That does not mean he didn't steal.
Share your loot and get away free!!
Zardari has been operating like this in major criminal activities that include fake encounters and murders. Is there no law applicable to this criminal?

Coronavirus cases in Massachusetts rise by…
Coronavirus cases in Massachusetts rise by 1,410, with another 138 deaths
By Lisa Kashinsky | lkashinsky@bostonherald.com |
PUBLISHED: May 9, 2020 at 4:05 p.m. | UPDATED: May 9, 2020 at 11:26 p.m.
Coronavirus cases in Massachusetts rose by 1,410 on Saturday as the state reported another 138 deaths, including 85 at long-term care facilities that are being disproportionately ravaged by the disease.
The new deaths bring the state's COVID-19 toll to 4,840, according to the Department of Public Health.
There are now 76,743 confirmed cases of the highly contagious virus in Massachusetts.
More than half the state's deaths, 2,922, come from long-term care facilities that have been major sources of infection here and across the country as the pandemic rages.
As of Saturday, 336 long-term care centers in the state had reported at least one COVID-19 case and some 15,965 residents and health care workers have been sickened.
The overall death toll at nursing homes and assisted living facilities rises daily — up by dozens each day this week, state data shows.
Twenty-eight veterans who tested positive for COVID-19 at the Chelsea Soldiers' Home had died as of Saturday, with another 30 residents and 57 staff infected. Earlier this week, the parent company of Courtyard Nursing Care Center in Medford reported 54 resident deaths.
Another veteran who contracted coronavirus in a large outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers' home died Saturday, raising the facility's toll to 74. Another 78 residents and 83 employees there have been sickened.
In all, 75% of coronavirus cases in the city of Holyoke have come from long-term care facilities, Mayor Alex Morse told the Herald Friday, a situation that's playing out in communities large and small across the commonwealth.
"That's a high percentage here in the city and reflective of elsewhere," Morse said.
The statewide positive test rate for coronavirus was 13% Saturday, continuing a key downward trend being closely monitored by state and public health officials. Another 10,514 tests were conducted for a total of 376,537.
Four percent, or 3,229, of all coronavirus patients were hospitalized, with 814 in intensive care units, another measure that has declined this week.
Middlesex County again reported the highest case count, 17,307, followed by Suffolk County with 15,119.
There were more than 3.9 million COVID-19 cases worldwide as of Saturday afternoon, with more than 277,600 deaths. The United States crossed 1.3 million cases, with more than 78,000 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker.

A state of emergency has been declared in Tunisia after the tragic events.
After a long wait the bodies of the last final victims from the Tunisia beach attack have returned to UK by plane this weekend. The gruesome attack that led to 30 victims from UK in Tunisia is comparable to the Charlie Hebdo, the terrorist attacks from France, said one witness. The families of those involved in the beach shooting received this weekend the bodies of the last five Britons. The five Britons repatriated this weekend were killed in the Tunisia beach attack.
BBC said that a coroner will also continue to open inquests into the deaths of those murdered in the attack which left 30 Britons dead from a total of 38 victims. An increase in security and a state of emergency has been put in place by the authorities in Tunisia. Claire Windass, Christopher Dyer, Bruce Wilkinson, Stuart Cullen and Lisa Burbidge were flown back to the UK. The bodies arrived at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire at 15:00 BST on an RAF C-17 aircraft.
The Queen and the Prime Minister David Cameron joined on Friday the minute's silence along with the relatives of the deceased. In Sousse, at the scene of the attack, Tunisians and tourists gathered and they linked arms as a gesture to commemorate the tragic events. Habib Essid, the Tunisian Prime Minister, also took part in the commemorations there and expressed his deep regret for the attack.
The media reports suggest that almost 35 minutes was the time frame the attack took place, the gunman being able to return to the scene and kill some of the wounded before the police managed to arrive. The Tunisian Prime Minister acknowledged that "the time of the reaction is the problem". He labelled the event as unacceptable, a horror.
The authorities from Tunisia succeeded identifying the gunman, a 28-year-old student, Seifeddine Rezgui. Also, the inquiries led to other eight suspects that were held in custody on suspicion of being linked to the attack, claimed by the jihadist group Islamic State.
The London court was told by the Counter Terrorism Command detective, Sergeant David Batt, that the holidaymakers were "indiscriminately targeted" by the gunman. In the process of identification, UK police have assisted in both Tunisia and the UK, adding that 275 witness accounts have been taken by the police. More that 1200 potential witnesses have returned to the UK and accounts from those who are deemed significant are being taken, added Sergeant Batt.


If you're a city hosting a fashion week and you're not New York, London, Milan or Paris, you need something to make yourself stand out. For Copenhagen, that thing is the longest catwalk in the world.
Copenhagen's fashion week, which runs from August 11-15, will culminate with a fashion show on what is being called the "World's Greatest Catwalk." Strøget, the pedestrian street that runs through the center of the city, will be transformed into a mile-long catwalk, down which 220 models will walk. The models will wear designs from over 500 Scandinavian brands. Also the runway will be pink. The show will rival (or best) the Fashion's Night Out runway extravaganza, which purports to be the biggest fashion show ever staged in NYC, featuring over 200 models on the runway.
Denmarks' own Helena Christensen is the "patroness" of the week, but won't walk on the "World's Greatest Catwalk." Supermodels don't walk mile-long runways apparently.
The most stress-free fashion week on the face of the planet kicks off this week.

My Small Country Living
Many smallholders have plunged in at the deep end and learnt the hard way, through experience.
But Phyllida Barstow, author of the childhood autobiography My Animals and Other Family, was already involved in animal husbandry when,
as a young woman, she embarked on her own smallholding enterprise.
Here is her lively, informative and witty account of her first-hand experience throughout her lifetime in Gloucestershire, with chickens, dogs, cats, horses, sheep, peacocks, alpacas and even honey bees.
As she points out, smallholding is not a summer idyll but, truly, a job for all seasons, all hours, all weathers. She also has to deal with fallen stock, pest control, disease outbreaks and slaughter.
Her tips include those on animal handling, training, breeding and delivery. Her wry and practical attitude towards her animals is imbued with respect and often affection for her charges.
This account of the realities of modern smallholding is both entertaining and informative.

P&C the May 2020 issue
Is PRIA the Answer?
The proposed bill responds to the lack of insurance coverages absorbing the business interruption costs of COVID-19.
By Russ Banham Posted on April 28, 2020
To buffer the expense when the next pandemic rears, Congress is mulling a public-private risk-sharing mechanism, put forth in the Pandemic Risk Insurance Act of 2020 (PRIA).
The proposed bill responds to the lack of insurance coverages absorbing the business interruption costs of COVID-19. The legislation is modeled on the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA). Developed after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, TRIA created a federal backstop for insurance policies, absorbing a portion of property and casualty losses caused by a future major terrorist incident.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-California), a supporter of the proposal, stated that PRIA would create "a reinsurance program similar to [TRIA] for pandemics by capping the total insurance losses that insurance companies would face." Exactly how PRIA would be structured is yet to be determined. As of press time, it remained a proposal for dissemination and review.
Rep. Waters' assumption is that, if the government agrees to put a limit on the economic loss to insurers of future pandemics, carriers would provide a market for related business interruption losses. That's a big ask of insurers at this point, given the aforementioned potential for trillions of dollars in claims. Moreover, the risks of an isolated terrorist incident are not exactly analogous to the threat of a global pandemic.
Despite the pressure on the industry to participate in a prospective solution, no insurer had stepped forward to express support for PRIA by press time. Aside from the potential for sizable losses, even with the federal government pledging to pick up the lion's share, carriers are understandably concerned about the administrative complexity of handling what could be millions of claims occurring simultaneously.
Insurance brokers are projected to play an important role in discussions over PRIA or some other long-term public-private insurance model.
"As brokers, we believe that insurance is the best way historically to handle something that can cause massive losses, but the devil is in the details," says Michael Chapman, president of broker Hub International's South region and the executive sponsor of its crisis management team. "PRIA does not have a specific coverage mechanism. We don't know how coverage would apply. For instance, will it contain sublimits in the policy providing a small amount of coverage backed up by the government? That would be a good place to start the discussions."
PRIA Is Not TRIA
Longtime industry observer Robert Hartwig, associate clinical professor of finance at the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business, says PRIA, as currently proposed, is unwise and unnecessary. "It's a solution in search of a problem," says Hartwig. "People keep analogizing it to TRIA, but it's a false analogy."
Hartwig should know; he was instrumental in the drafting of the original TRIA bill."In the aftermath of 9/11, the property insurance markets collapsed, insurance capacity declined at an exponential rate, and coverage pricing was accelerating at a rapid clip," says Hartwig, chief economist at the Insurance Information Institute at the time. "Terrorism risk had not been modeled, and there was concern in the industry that another event of the same magnitude, or several of them, were possible."
Unlike with 9/11, however, the property and casualty insurance industry is neither collapsing nor expecting to suffer a substantial decrease in capacity from COVID-19. Some lines of insurance, like workers compensation, will see an uptick in claims activity, but aggregate losses are projected to be modest, since nearly all property insurance policies exclude "communicable diseases" as a covered event. "There just isn't a huge exposure from COVID-19 like there was with the terrorist attacks," Hartwig says.
PRIA, in effect, would create an exposure for insurers where none exists at present. An economist by training, Hartwig says the optimal way to transfer the business risks of another pandemic is for the federal government to provide economic relief to affected companies, which it is currently doing through the CARES federal stimulus legislation.
"It should not be the intent or the desire of Congress to deliver aid to impacted businesses through the insurance industry but, rather, through the Small Business Administration and other programs, in the form of loans and enhanced unemployment benefits," he explains.
To be fair, PRIA is just a proposal, one likely to invite deeper discussions once the pandemic passes. As Hub's Chapman says, "Until the plan is refined with a clear methodology of the industry's risk-assumption for future pandemics, it's just not practical."
