The Mary Foundation was established by HRH Crown Princess Mary of Denmark in 2007, but it was sparked by an idea that goes much further back.
Crown Princess Mary has always been particularly conscious of the people who are not part of a group, who are all alone and unable to understand why they are excluded from the community. And her desire to do something for the socially isolated was revitalised when a 1.1 million kroner national gift was raised in Denmark and Greenland and donated in honour of the Crown Prince Couple's wedding in 2004. The idea really began to take shape in 2006.
And a year later, in 2007, "The Mary Foundation – HRH Crown Princess Mary's Foundation" became a reality.
Its inspiration largely originates from The Crown Princess's social work with patronages, where social isolation in particular often proves to be one of the key causes behind the problems. Inspiration has also been sourced from like-minded foundations around the world.
The Mary Foundation's first project was launched in 2008. More projects have been taken on since then, and there are more on the horizon. This has all been realised thanks to the people's gift and the Foundation's eight co-founders, who have ensured a solid economic foundation. The group of co-founders was later expanded, and the capital stock now stands at arond 175 million kroner. This capital stock has been set aside and remains untouched, providing a foundation for a long-term strategy, while the full annual return is used to combat social isolation within The Mary Foundation's three focus areas: Bullying & Well-being, Domestic Violence and Loneliness.
The national gift
In 2004, the people of Denmark and Greenland raised and donated 1.1 million kroner as a national gift in honour of the Crown Prince Couple's wedding. This national gift, combined with Crown Princess Mary's vision of creating a foundation that gave something back to the people, became the first step toward establishing The Mary Foundation in 2007.

Teilhol, nebo také A.C.L., byla francouzská automobilka, která působila v letech 1958 až 1990. Zabývala se zejména výrobou automobilů s pohonem všech kol a automobilů pro volný čas. Zpočátku se firma zabývala výrobou automobilu Renault Rodeo pro francouzskou armádu. V osmdesátých letech probíhala v ateliérech Teilhol zejména výroba různých užitkových nebo obytných verzí vozu Citroën C15. Koncem dekády firma představila nástupce vozu Citroën Méhari, který nesl označení Teilhol Tangara. V roce 1989 byl představen Teilhol Theva, který používal základ z automobilu Citroën AX. Kapacitu továrny se nepodařilo nikdy naplnit a společnost tak v první polovině devadesátých let vyhlásila bankrot.

The Warringal Parklands playground didn't come about by accident. It is part of a longer term strategy to develop a series of regional playspaces in Banyule which has its roots in Council's Public Open Space Strategy.
In 2008 Jenny took a tour of the playground in Manningham Council's Wombat Park.
She said that day to a Council officer that she wanted one for Warringal Parklands. And so the idea was formulated that day and four years later due to the driving force of Cr. Jenny Mulholland has become a reality. This wonderful playspace is in fact the third regional family play facility developed by Council. Part of Council's strategy around regional play facilities is to build each with a different theme in order to give families the opportunity to have a variety of experiences with their children.
For instance Malahang Regional Playspace in Heidelberg West has an underlying Olympic theme to reflect the area's heritage of being the site of the athletes village for the Melbourne Olympic Games in 1956.
The Binnak Park Regional Family Playspace in Watsonia North, has an indigenous theme.
The Warringal Park Regional Family Playspace has been designed and built with an environmental theme to reflect its surroundings.
An idea is born 2010
This is a family friendly facility. The aim of these regional playspaces is to provide a range of facilities that will offer something for the whole family and enable families to play together and enjoy these wonderful surrounding for hours at a time.
The State Govt contributed $210,400 which equates to approximately a quarter of the overall cost of the project. Whilst Council has obviously met the lions' share of the cost, it is fair to say that without the support of Sport and Recreation Victoria the project only had funding for stage but the condition of the State Govt was that it must not be built in stages
Jenny had to lobby other Councillors to make sure the a second round of funding was provided by Council.
Contributions made to the project are acknowledged:
Members of the project's Community Reference Group that included representatives of the many clubs and organisations which have an interest in the Warringal parklands, who helped guide officers through the extensive public consultation process and design phase,.
The Warringal Conservation Society for its assistance with the playspace planting program
The Heidelberg Primary School, whose grade 1 students are here today and whose hand and feet imprints you will see in the stepping stones of the puzzle maize.
Ric McConaghy and Mike Smith for their work with the public consultation and for the innovative concept and design
Excell Gray Bruni who constructed the playspace is thanked for being so co-operative and easy to work with.
And all the Council staff that were involved in the design, consultation, naming and promotion of the playspace. This has been a cross organisational project that has resulted in a great outcome for the community.
The finished product

"The new Warringal Park playground is a great family facility. It was an idea formulated by Jenny Mulholland in 2008 and it is a credit to her vision and planning skills that this project has become a reality in 2012. We need more Councillors like Jenny Mulholland."

How much methane do our cows produce in Abbotsford?
Our dairy cattle in Abbotsford belch an estimated 2459 tonnes of methane per year, almost 7 x more than the methane coming from manure.
Methane emission from ruminant animals (including beef and dairy cattle) has been commonly known for many years, but attention to greenhouse gas implications are relatively recent. The "burp" emits approximately 87% of the methane produced in the rumen, compared with 13% emitted as flatulence from the small intestine (Murray et al. 1976). Feed additives to increase weight gain and reduce methane emission have been around for many years, but some of the products are now being promoted to reduce GHG emission from dairy and beef cattle in Canada (Boadi et al., 2004, Kebreab et al. 2006, Beauchemin and McGinn 2010). Beauchemin and McGinn (2010) suggest that methane emission from cattle could be reduced by up to 20% through diet and animal breeding.
"About 3 to 12% of the energy consumed by ruminants (cattle and sheep) is converted to methane in the rumen (referred to as enteric methane) and released into the atmosphere. Adopting feeding strategies that will minimize the amount of energy, lost as methane, can improve feed conversion efficiency, improve animal productivity, and is good for the environment."
Most methane (CH4) that is emitted from livestock originates in the forestomach, also called the rumen, of ruminants (cattle and sheep). This source of methane is called enteric CH4. Only about 10% of the total CH4 from ruminants in Canada is from manure." (Beauchemin and McGinn 2010).
Already in 1986, the contribution of global methane production from domestic animals and humans was estimated at 74 Tg per year, with 74% of this coming from cattle (Crutzen et al. 1986).
A research study in Canada that drew attention to methane emissions from dairy cattle was Jackson et al, (1993) where they measured an average methane emission of 542 L of methane per cow per day from a dairy barn. A review of the literature in that report indicated a wide variation in methane emissions from dairy cattle (96 to 615 L/cow/day), and agreed that variations in methane emissions from dairy cattle could be explained by differences in diet, milk yield and metabolic live weight. Aquerre et al. (2011) measured methane emissions of 538 to 648 L per lactating dairy cow per day (average weight 550 kg), where the higher methane emissions corresponded with a higher forage: concentrate ratio.
Globally, Sevenster and de Jong (2008) report that enteric methane emission (from ruminants such as cattle) produces 26% of anthropogenic methane emissions, compared to manure handling at 3%. For dairy cattle, the contribution of manure to methane emissions from dairy cattle is up to 18% (FAO 2006). They reported that Canadian dairy cattle were the highest emitter of CH4 per dairy cow at approximately 135 kg CH4 per cow, compared with less than 80 kg per cow in New Zealand. In Europe, methane emission factors used to estimate GHG emissions from dairy cattle range from 80 kg CH4 per cow in countries with more extensive dairy production to 130 kg CH4 per cow per day in countries with intensive dairy production (JRC European Commission 2010). This review reported that actual methane emissions may actually be as high as 180 kg CH4 per cow per year based on latest scientific findings and agreed IPCC methodologies. The US estimates 134.8 kg CH4 per cow per year based on Environment Canada information (US EPA 2001). Sun et al. (2008) measured 12 and 18 g CH4 per cow per hour from dry and lactating dairy cattle in California. This corresponds to 105 and 160 kg CH4 per cow per year from dry and lactating dairy cattle. Lindgren (1980) estimated that enteric methane emissions from dairy cattle increased from 123 kg CH4 per cow per year for cows giving 6000 kg of milk per year, and 136 kg CH4 per cow per year from cows giving 12,000 kg per cow per year. Kirchgessner et al. (1993) estimated that enteric methane production was 100 kg CH4 per cow per year at 6000 kg milk production and 127 kg CH4 per cow per year at 12,000. Using IPCC Tier 2 guidelines, (Sonesson et al. (2009) estimated 109 kg CH4 per cow per year at 6000 kg of milk per year, and 167 kg CH4 per cow per year at 12,000 kg of milk per year.
GHG emission is also calculated per kg of milk produced, where increasing milk production is associated with increased GHG per cow, but decreased GHG per kg of milk. Cows in Canada produce about .0175 kg CH4 per kg of milk (0.4 kg CO2 equivalent) compared to 0.03 kg CH4 per kg of milk (0.7 kg CO2 equivalent) from dairy cattle in New Zealand (Sevenster and de Jong (2008). Total GHG emissions per kg of milk are estimated at 1.4 kg CO2 equivalent in Europe (JRC European Commission 2010). The contribution of methane among countries in the EU ranged from 0.35 to 0.80 kg CO2 equivalent.
The methodology for calculating greenhouse gas emissions are governed by international law (Amon et al. 2011).
"Reporting bodies are encouraged to use more detailed methodologies than the Tier 2 approach (Tier 3) if possible and if this would result in more accurate reporting." Amon et al. 2011.
For enteric fermentation estimates a minimal Tier II methodology is required, which consists of 1. definitions for livestock categories, 2. livestock populations by subcategory, and 3. feed intake estimates for the typical animal in each subcategory. Dong et al. (2006) provide an excellent review of the methodology for measuring GHG from livestock and manure management based on the IPCC Guidelines.
In Canada, methane emissions from dairy cattle have been modeled using IPCC Tier 2 methodology (Ominski et al. 2007). They estimated annual methane emissions of 144 kg/cow/year from dairy cattle in BC compared with a Canadian average of 126 kg/cow/year. Methane emissions from heifers in BC using IPCC Tier 2 methodology was 72 kg /animal/year. The higher methane emissions per cow in BC is offset by higher average milk production per cow. Based on recent science, the estimates of 116.5 and 74.6 kg CH4 per cow per year provided in the 2012 BC Best Practices Methodology are likely low, but are higher than the values of 73 kg CH4 per dairy cow and 46 kg CH4 per non dairy animal in the Fraser Valley Inventory (Levelton 2005).
Enteric methane emission from dairy cattle in Abbotsford
In summary, the enteric methane emission estimates of dairy cows and heifers in Abbotsford is 2459 tonnes of methane per year or 51,633 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year. This is calculated using 2011 census data of 13,886 dairy cows and 6377 heifers, with the most recent emission factors of Ominski et al. (2007) and the IPCC 2007 CO2 equivalent (1 kg methane has the global warming potential of 21 kg carbon dioxide). This is methane emission that cannot be captured!
Our dairy cows in Abbotsford belch an estimated 2500 tonnes of methane per year, almost 7 x more than the methane coming from manure.

From unfastened sand to stable rock and every little thing in between, and sometimes on the same site! Put 'em all collectively At this level you've most likely begun to guess that all of the 4 important site choice components above can affect the same site. In areas with higher soils this identical system could be overkill. Soils drain and retain water otherwise, and soils have vastly differently capacities to bear structural masses. Soil It's amazing, every time a backhoe begins a brand new house foundation, how totally different soils may be from one constructing site to a different. In accordance with Vastu, a house built on a T-shaped plot diverts the constructive energy within the home causing battle in couples. In case you are questioning what a west going through house is, it is a house that's situated on a plot with a street on the west facet. When designing the home you need to ensure that the main gate is located at the mid-west or northern half of the plot. Experts recommend that the japanese and northern instructions of the plot are the very best for water storage; therefore, these are the most effective locations to put the water storage tank.
Sun Most properties are designed with the first family dwelling spaces on the again (kitchen, breakfast room, household room). It is best to build the youngsters bedroom on the west aspect of the home while the visitor room must be within the North West route. While the evening solar is great to look it, it will possibly generally be annoying especially when it slips into your own home making it hard for you to look at tv or work on your pc. One in all the main advantages of the design is that it permits you to enjoy the warm night sun. As mentioned earlier than, a west dealing with home is right for individuals who like having fun with the night solar. West dealing with house plans are ideal for individuals who like having fun with the setting solar. House plan providers that design all their very own plans (like RTA Plans) often design them to fit the positioning situations and constructing traditions of their native area. Don't skip this step - if the plan you're contemplating isn't fitted to the soil situations in your site, you would spend thousands of dollars to have the plans modified accordingly.
But many home plan patrons have extra difficult properties and these tons require a design that responds appropriately. Many owners of sloping tons need to reap the benefits of that situation by together with a "walk-out" basement within the plan. Most plan ebook houses are "designed" to be placed on flat lots, and granted, the vast majority of building lots are comparatively flat. Within the Midwestern and Southern United States it will be supported on stacks and stacks of concrete block; within the California hills it's even worse - houses on stilts! In addition to folks residing in west dealing with homes being affluent in life, they are additionally mentioned to be extroverts and are loved by many individuals. It's believed that houses that face west deliver more wealth and prosperity and the owners of those homes don't have enemies. As an architect you want to consider a number of factors when designing a west facing home. You must guarantee that there's less open area on the front of a west going through plot. It's because a house constructed on such a plot doesn't look elegant.
For supreme outcomes you need to avoid planning the house to be built on a T-shaped plot. For the proprietor of the home to get pleasure from the advantages that include this design, it's really helpful that you simply design the home such that the grasp bedroom is positioned on the south-west facet. Vastu additionally recommends that the grasp bedroom should be positioned on the south-west side because the path promotes better understanding amongst partners. To ensure that sufficient sunlight gets into your home, it's best to get rid of any clutter that could be within the western side. If your lot is on the south side of the road, great. On a developed lot, the municipal sanitary sewer line is buried close to the front (often) of the lot. An undeveloped lot is one where the utilities - electricity, water, fuel, and public sewer - aren't introduced from the road to the buildable area of the lot. Some sorts of basis systems which are well-liked in one area are unheard of in others.
It's essential to know what basis programs are widespread where you are building. But a stroll-out basement may also require a few special particulars and a few extra structural info to accomplish correctly and to get permits from most constructing departments. Perhaps it can be positioned at the highest or bottom - making the most of the views from the slope however not incurring the costs of constructing there. Does your home must be placed on the slope? And you may get that sunlight by way of these home windows, too - if the back of the home faces south. Sewer The Plumber's Credo - "every little thing flows downhill" is extremely essential to remember when choosing a plan. They will range extensively in value, and never all well being districts enable every kind. That's where the solar is, remember? You also needs to ensure that each one tall bushes are in the backside. To prevent this you need to install blinds in your doors and home windows. They also make friends simply which helps them of their businesses and careers.

be rude. "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe." Jesus did not grant the request. And you might say, well if Jesus really cared, then when He saw the man in absolute agony about his life, and his son, why wouldn't He say, "I'll go to your home and help at once". One of the reasons I believe Jesus refused was because Jesus recognized that the man came to Him out of an earthly need, one that had nothing to do with the desire for salvation. Jesus persisted with His demand for true faith (faith does not have to see miracles before believing), while at the same time Jesus responded to the man's desperation with compassion. Jesus said, "You may go, your son will live." Jesus was both demanding unquestioning faith in His word, and promising the healing for which the man asked. We're like those people. We have calluses on our hearts. It's as if we're not going to believe or trust ourselves to Christ unless we see Him work wonders before our eyes. There's a lot of that skepticism in the world today. To his credit, this nobleman, in the midst of his desperation, heard the promise of Christ and believed it. He trusted the word of Christ. He didn't say, "I'll just go see if that's true." Rather he grew calm, he stopped pleading, and he departed. His trust was well-placed. With that, he himself believed, and his whole household.
This man and his household were examples of those who exercised true faith in Jesus. This is a glimpse of the person of Christ, the person who, by His command, and very word, brings life out of death, safety out of danger, healing out of disease, salvation out of lost-ness. This is our Jesus in whom we believe. This is why we're called Christians.


The expanded module will help high school students across the country learn how land use impacts freshwater quality in their own geographic regions.
Stroud Water Research Center, in collaboration with the Concord Consortium and Millersville University of Pennsylvania, received a $2.9 million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to dramatically expand Model My Watershed (MMW), part of the WikiWatershed® suite of online tools. This application allows users to explore how land use affects stream ecology and hydrology.
The application was originally built for portions of Southeastern Pennsylvania and Northern Delaware. The grant will allow Stroud Water Research Center and its partner organizations to expand the website into a national teaching resource for high school science teachers.
Gill added that the educational program will teach high-school students a systems approach to problem solving through hands-on activities and tutorials based on local data and issues.
"This will provide students with an opportunity to contribute to their communities while they are solving problems they find interesting. We hope this will also encourage students to pursue emerging careers in geospatial and environmental analysis," she said.

Headteacher's Welsh language spending criticism 'misplaced'
Welsh language school sign. Philip Wolmuth / Alamy Stock Photo
The criticism of a headteacher who said an "inexhaustible amount of money" was spent on the Welsh language were 'misplaced' according to the Welsh language society.
Evenlode Primary School chief Stephen Rees said that due to budget cuts he had to clean the toilets and had shed 11 staff, and that he was critical of how money was spent.
"We are struggling and I get very frustrated when I see how much is spent on the (school improvement) consortia and other initiatives in Wales," Mr. Rees told WalesOnline.
"And I fully support the Welsh language but it seem to have an inexhaustible amount of money whereas special needs and mental health is down the bare bone and none of these have enough resources."
The Chairman of Cymdeithas yr Iaith, the Welsh Language society, said that he sympathised with Mr. Rees as "schools across the country are facing near-impossible budgets".
"But blaming the Welsh language is misplaced – it is years of austerity and cuts that have caused the current situation," he said.
"The lack of special needs and mental health provision affects Welsh speakers as much as anyone – indeed, in many parts of the country, accessing Welsh language special needs and mental health provision can be incredibly difficult, when we know that receiving such services in a language they are comfortable in is so important for the individual's wellbeing.
"Our feeling is that we should all be coming together to oppose austerity and demand fair funding for all of our communities and public services."
Mr Rees, whose school is in Penarth in Vale of Glamorgan, said that he was worried about how he is going to deliver Wales' new curriculum as well as reforms to additional learning needs and Welsh language teaching.
"The New Curriculum and the new Additional Learning Needs Bill are going to be a major issue," he said. "They are all going to have cost implications.
"I don't know how we are going to do the New Curriculum. My priority is keeping enough staff and ensuring the children are safe. These cuts are having an impact on the well being off my staff."

Further Covid-19 restrictions announced for England
On Saturday 31st October the Government announced a second national lockdown for England with further restrictions due to be imposed from Thursday 5th November to Wednesday 2nd December. This announcement would have come at a shock to everyone including Elmhurst members.
Prime Minster Boris Johnson, was quick to highlight in his announcement that this is not the same lockdown that the country experienced earlier in the year. People are being told to stay at home unless they have a specific reason to leave, such as work which cannot be done from home, and education.
Whilst we are awaiting detailed guidance from MHCLG;
Robert Jenrick, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, was quick to confirm in a tweet that the housing market was to remain open which includes the following:
Renters & homeowners will be able to move
Removal firms and estate agents can operate
Construction sites can and should continue
Tradespeople will be able to enter homes
But all must follow the Covid safety guidance
Commercial assessments would, we believe, also be permitted as they cannot be undertaken remotely.
In summary we believe that energy assessment can and should continue as long as it is safe to do so.
Our Members in Wales are reminded that they are currently unable to undertake energy assessments unless the dwelling is empty at the time of the assessment due to the current 'firebreak lockdown'. More information about this is available on our Covid-19 FAQs. Our members in Scotland are required to operate under regional restrictions, with a 5 tiered approach, and should seek local advice.
Elmhurst would like to remind those members that are permitted to work about our updated guidance which can be found on Access Elmhurst. This document provides information about how to complete energy assessments safely and is based on the official guidance provided by government. Elmhurst will continue to monitor information provided by the government and share this with our member and the wider industry.
For the official position on what the restrictions mean can be found here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-national-restrictions-from-5-november?priority-taxon=774cee22-d896-44c1-a611-e3109cce8eae

The Draughtsman Damsel
When Annabelle's father, the closest counsellor and architect to the Duke at Calais, is called back to the English court, his ten-year-old daughter Annabelle is torn from her home and from her best friend, the Duke's youngest son, Thomas, whom she swears she will one day wed.
Though forlorn and homesick, Annabelle grows up to be a sensitive, precocious damsel. She loves mathematics and drawing, but her aversion to the 'female arts' causes her to use her girlish trickery to avoid them. This risks her eligibility as a bride, and compromises others.
When her family's connection to the Duke diminishes, and the Duke's mental health falters, her parents are at their wits end about procuring a love match for her. Especially as all their efforts amount to naught, because of Annabelle's anxiety.
They are then torn with conflicting loyalties between the king, and the desperate, mad duke who now calls them back. Perhaps here lies the solution for their wayward daughter?
Pride, politics, madness, and falling unwittingly and unwillingly in love complicate matters to the point of disaster.
The Draughtsman Damsel is a compelling story of long-lasting love and age-transcending friendship. It is well-seasoned with politics and science, castles and knights, maidens and romance, and is set in medieval England and France.

A Good Knight's Kiss
A Good Knight's Kiss is a romantic coming-of-age story.
John's uncanny cleverness and insight, and his red hair, cause his stepmother to fear him, thinking him a devilish daemon.
He sets off, much to his chagrin, to start his new life as page, squire, and then knight to his uncle-by-marriage. As often happens, he falls in love. But it is with his lord's daughter, no less.
John is sensitive, astute and fiery, and his conflicting loyalties and desires are what drive him onwards.
When he's faced with a choice between heeding his father's decree for a simple life, and his oath to his brother on one hand, and the love of his life on the other, how will he choose? Simplicity or love, honour or happiness?

George Zimmerman and the Burden of Proof
By now, you've heard of the tragic death of Travon Martin. You probably have also heard that his killer, George Zimmerman, has been charged for the killing. The purpose of this post is to clear up some confusion over what, exactly, the state charged Mr. Zimmerman with and what sort of facts each party will have to prove.
The State of Florida has charged Mr. Zimmerman with Murder in the Second Degree. Many people think the "second" means it is Mr. Zimmerman's second charge; this is not the case. The varying degrees in criminal charges usually provide the burden of proof placed on the State in order to secure a conviction. In Mr. Zimmerman's case, the state will have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman (1) killed Travon Martin (2) with ill-will towards him (3) while acting in disregard for human life.
The second element in that list will likely be the most difficult to prove, and it is part of the reason the State will likely have a difficult time securing a conviction. Of course, most of the speculation surrounding this case is whether or not Mr. Zimmerman was justified in killing Travon Martin. The legal analysis, however, has nothing to do with whether or not Mr. Zimmerman was really "justified."
Instead, Mr. Zimmerman has a very low burden of proof in order to show self-defense. He must show enough evidence for a reasonable juror the simply possibility of believing Mr. Zimmerman acted in self-defense. As one court stated, if a defendant on trial for Murder in the Second Degree can raise enough evidence that a reasonable juror could believe he acted in justifiable self-defense, "the state had the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense." This language comes from Mosansky v. Florida, a case decided only two years ago in 2010.
In other words, Mr. Zimmerman must produce this minimal level of evidence to support a reasonable juror's belief in his defense. Once that is done, the state will have the burden to show that Mr. Zimmerman did not act in self-defense.
You might be thinking this sounds like a pretty low burden for Mr. Zimmerman to show self-defense, and you're right. The state will likely have a difficult time securing a conviction in this case.
A criminal law attorney should be familiar with the law. If you are facing criminal charges, contact a Jacksonville Criminal Defense Attorney. A Criminal Defense Attorney in the Jacksonville, Florida area can help explain the charges against you, the defenses you might have, and the various options you can take. Contact a Jacksonville Criminal Defense Attorney if you have any questions.

US retail sales fell in December. This is the worst drop in nine years. The value of overall sales fell 1.2 per cent from the prior month. Excluding automobiles and gasoline, retail sales slumped 1.4 per cent. The steep drop however is at odds with figures showing a healthy job market and steady wage gains. The slump also may prove temporary as stocks have regained ground following December's plunge.
All but two of 13 major retail categories showed a decline, with non-store retailers — which includes online stores — falling 3.9 per cent, the most since November 2008. The broad-based weakening reflected lower sales from clothing stores and gasoline stations. Auto dealers and building materials stores were the only sectors to record increases.
Receipts at health and personal care stores fell two per cent, the most since October 2016. Sales at sporting goods, hobby, musical instrument and book stores tumbled 4.9 per cent, the biggest drop since September 2008.

Q: AddPrinter() sets the new printer as default. How to avoid it? After calling WinAPI's AddPrinter() function, the newly created printer is set as the default printer. I don't want that - I want the default printer to remain as it was.
So do I just have to get the default printer before calling AddPrinter() and then restore it afterwards?
I couldn't find any parameter that controls this behavior.

EHOC's New Intramarket Report Shows Rising St. Louis Rents
By Evie Hemphill • Nov 8, 2019
Evie Hemphill | St. Louis Public Radio
St. Louis' relatively low cost of living is an oft-touted point of pride for the region. But a newly released report by the Metropolitan St. Louis Equal Housing and Opportunity Council suggests that life in the Gateway City isn't so affordable for everyone — especially when it comes to paying rent.
Compiled by the organization's community engagement specialist, the report aims to fill an information gap when it comes to understanding local rent costs. And one of the key takeaways from Glenn Burleigh's ZIP-code-level analysis is that perceptions of gentrification are rooted in reality: Across the city of St. Louis, rents are rising faster than in the metropolitan region as a whole, and twice as fast in the central corridor and south St. Louis.
On Friday's St. Louis on the Air, Burleigh joined host Sarah Fenske to discuss the implications of EHOC's recent findings as well as related topics.
On the Trail: Why a bid to publicly fund a soccer stadium faltered in St. Louis

Ryan Delaney I St. Louis Public Radio
Once St. Louis voters dashed his hopes of bringing Major League Soccer to the city, Dave Peacock didn't make much of an attempt to modulate his tone.
Aldermanic committee approves MLS financial plan and Scottrade Center upgrades
By Jason Rosenbaum • Feb 1, 2017
Jason Rosenbaum | St. Louis Public Radio
An aldermanic committee backed a financial plan spelling out how St. Louis would help pay for a professional soccer stadium – if it comes to fruition.
The Board of Aldermen's Ways and Means Committee approved the financial plan on Wednesday evening. Many of the details have already been publicly laid out: If two ballot initiatives are placed on a ballot by a judge and pass, about $50 million in a use tax increase could go toward the stadium. The city would also contribute up to $10 million from 50 percent of the sales tax revenues generated in the project site.
Reed Accuses Slay Of Campaigning To City Employees, Slay Says He's Just Doing His Job
By Chris McDaniel • Jan 23, 2013
(via City of St. Louis websites)
St. Louis Mayoral candidate Lewis Reed is accusing Mayor Francis Slay of campaigning at the expense of taxpayers.
Reed, President of the Board of Aldermen, alleges Slay is holding meetings with city employees to campaign for votes while they are on the clock. Glenn Burleigh, Reed's campaign manager, claims it's a coordinated effort aimed at multiple departments.
"Telling folks on taxpayer dime: that's what's important here," Burleigh said. "These are trash collectors, that instead of picking up trash, were listening to the mayor."


Anyway firstly, I wanna apologize to my blog, my readers, and myself. I'm sorry to my dear blog for being left unattended for so long, it's rather irresponsible of me :x and also my readers which some of you asked me "Why didn't I blog anymore?" Thanks for asking it really sort of motivated me to blog again, I'm glad that YOU have enjoyed reading my blog, and lastly myself, I told myself that blogging is something I enjoy doing, a hobby, an entertainment in a way, a sharing place with my friends, I love blogging, but fighting my own laziness can be quite hard LOL XD.
One of my achievements this year, was to successfully launch Youth Favourite 2014 - BloodTies with these group of awesome friends of mine. We met each other in the Youth Donor Club(YDC) camp which I believed I have mentioned in my previous posts, and the 7 of us worked together to carry the task on making this Blood Drive a successful one.
Successfully, YF 2014 was launched on the 12th and 13th of July @ *Scape and we managed to collected 177 Units of Blood, which equivalent to 531 lives saved.
Golden Rule : 1 Packet(Unit) Of Blood Saves 3 Lives.
I'm glad and thankful to be one of the organizer of this event, and also sorry to have not done much for it. So thank you guys! I know this is kinda late to be mentioned, but well I have kept these photos just to wait for this day! I have to admit that being in Year 3 I have really kinda make me a little bit tight scheduled, perhaps it was just my poor time management but then again~ studies do come first.
Soooo this is me, trying to survive to the last couple days of my exam. I didn't slept the previous night but somehow my body was having this extremely strong adrenaline rush that I was really amazed by myself.
I was far to awake to tell myself that I am sleepy and well I did stay awake through out. I took the "Take-5" just to be in cased that I would fell asleep or something during the papers. It worked like a charm haha.
Perhaps it's my mind that told me I should believe in Take-5 would keep me awake or it really worked like charm, either it's fine because my exam did ended up well.
I'm still glad that it's over, though I love the moments and thankful to my body for generating the adrenaline rush and put me awake through the days. Because after the end of exams I didn't sleep in total of 48 hours LOL. I couldn't sleep I have to admit that. Oh welll it's over~!
So I have finished all the studies I need to attend in my Polytechnic~!
Does this mean that I have graduated...?
Well sad to say.. the answer is a NO.
Due to the decision I've made last year, which is to choose Internship instead of Final Year Project(FYP)..
Moving on after my six months of torturing in studies, I'm going for INTERNSHIP.
Partly to say is that I kinda regretted to have chosen the Internship path. As Internship requires 6 months which is equivalent to one whole semester. The modules that uses 2 semester to be finished are combined into 1 semester.
I basically struggled through my year 3.1, I admit during the whole semester, there is not a day which I don't hope that the semester will end SOON. It was really torturing because there are too many things for me to handle.
I find it hard to manage, so to all my juniors who are reading this, I will suggest you to choose it wisely the path that you would like to go.
I personally prefer Internship as I don't really enjoy project works, but for my grades sake if I could reverse the clock, I would have probably chosen FYP.
My Internship is starting next week! On the 8th of September.. I have to say that I'm not quite excited for it, because I don't really know what to expect for it, feeling rather neutral, perhaps a little bit of sparkles?
I mean most of my friends did enjoy their Internship so I supposed it would not be so bad. So yeah "Hoping For The Best" that is all I can tell myself now.
It was National Taekwondo Kyurogi (Sparing) Tournament, which sad to say that I did not really do very well for it.
From Left to Right : Me, Crystal, Lynn, Jiahui, Ian.
The number 3s are empty only 1 and 2 are occupied.
Originally there were 3 people in my weight category, and I was lucky enough to have only 1 round to fight which made me DEFAULT Silver Medalist, Sad to say I didn't do my best for it and I lost..
I believed in my previous posts I mentioned that I got Gold for the previous competition? Well yea, I admit after that competition I became very complacent, because it was my first competition and I did rather well for it and I suppose the fact that it was my first and I did well.. It boasted my ego..
I remember telling myself to be humble and also to continue and train extra hard so that I can maintain that result.
And also how much my friends been telling me that my previous competition was won by PURE Luck.
I guess, I forgot about all those and ended up being complacent about the competition, it is true that I didn't train as much as I did for the previous competition, and how I was feeling way to confident as I stepped into the ring.
It made me thought a little, if say there were more competitors in my weight category.. And I performed the same, then I will not have received that Silver medal. To be honest, I don't feel so deserved of it.
This loss.. I deserved it, I hope I will learn more from this lost and perhaps be better as a person.
NEVER GET TOO COMPLACENT~ Well definitely it does not only work on Taekwondo, but other stuff too~ I admit I did realized a little bit more than just this. Perhaps there will be more to be discovered.
I know I never did this before, but I've been wanting to do this for quite sometime..
Just leave me a comment~!


Unlike the traditional single-glazed which only have one layer of glass, and usually encased in wood frames, double glazing windows, like what its name suggests, have two layers of glass. They come in different frame materials, from uPVC and aluminum frames to a more traditional timber wooden frame.
Now, we are pretty confident that you already know what double glazed windows are, so, we will not explain what it is and how they work. We will go straight into the reasons why you need to upgrade from a single glazed window into double glazed one is right for you.
There are many reasons why you need to improve your windows to have a secondary layer of glazing. From increasing your property's value to keeping your house a bit warmer in the winter and can reduce condensation. Let us take a look at some of the benefits of contacting a double glazing company and start upgrading your windows.
Not only double glazing your window will give you two layers of glass, but they also have an air gap between each window piece. Thanks to the air gap, you will enjoy a good heat retention, noise reduction, as well as thermal performance. It also keeps draughts at bay.
If you use single-glazed windows, you will be losing at least 50% of the heat because it will get lost in the glaze and through the gaps where the sealant come off. It can end up leaving your house, making it colder in the winter, unless you will turn your heater on full-swing day and night. It will increase your electric bill and sometimes even full-swing heater is not enough.
However, if you are using double glazed windows that have air gaps between two window panes, most of the heat inside your house will be retained due to the extra layer of glass. It means that the heat which is lost when you have single-paned windows will have difficulty traveling through the double-glazed window, and most of it will stay inside your home, giving you and your family warm in the chilly winter months.
Not only you and your family will be warm going into the winter months using double glazing windows, but you will also save money on your energy bills because you will not use your electric heater that much. Your house will retain more heat and reduce the need for radiators to be used day in, day out.
Your new double-glazed window can save you at least $100 a year on energy bills. It is not only good for your budget, but it is also good for the environment.
One of the most common misconceptions, when you are using double glazing windows, is that I will make your house warmer during the summer months, just like they do during the winter months. Not only it is not true; it's far from reality.
Aside from keeping your home more comfortable during the winter, double glazing windows will also make your house comfortable during the hot summer days, but instead of making it warmer, it will keep you cool instead. Double glazing the window serves as an insulator for your home against both ends of extreme temperature.
It incorporates a barrier against the outside and the inside of your home, making it more comfortable inside whether it is hot or cold outside. But there's always a limit on how many window panes you can before this does not stand true. It seems the two is the limit.
According to research, triple glazed window panes can make your home in the summer. So, for places with a warmer climate, it is always recommended to use double glazed window all year round for good result.
One of the essential parts when owning a house is its security and safety of the people living inside. Traditionally, single-paned window frames are less secured compared to double glazed windows. Double glazed windows are difficult to break into.
Not only you will save the contents of your home from intruders, but you also protect your home insurance too. Secondary windows add an extra layer of protection to your double glazing. You can fit it with sprung catch locks that can fasten automatically as your window closes.


Best PC peripheral ever??? I need one for winter along with a big fan to blow air in my face.
... and this is a 1921 boardtrack racer.
Want something slightly more modern? How about a beautiful 1970 BSA Lightning 650?
As you've seen from many of the vintage motorcycles, the Viking Chapter of the AMCA had a lot of bikes at the show including this 1966 Harley Sprint 250. If you like old bikes check out their show at the State Fairgrounds June 10-11.
Here's a panhead with fishtail pipes and some skunk fur. Fish and skunks... things that stink? Does that make it a theme bike?
This is an interesting tank... I don't like it... but it's interesting. I never watched the show much but the tank immediately reminded me of Doctor Zoidberg from Futurama.
Here's a nice little Yamaha chop. Don't be confused by the bagger sign.
Speaking of baggers, this one has a beautiful paint job.
I still have about two posts worth of pics left including a few of my favorite that I'm saving for last. Check back soon!

In preparation to welcome the New Year, it's traditional to have a good clean of the house to get rid of the old year.
Once the house is spick-and-span the decorating can begin for the festivities.
A festival is not a festival without its decorations; so make sure your home is covered in red. Red is believed to be the main colour of the festival which brings in immensely good luck to all.
Yes, seriously! Red is one of the luckiest colour to wear during the festival, and it's a must in your zodiac year – red socks, belts, shoes and underwear are highly recommended.
This will give you good luck through out the year and warn off any bad spirits.
The New Year is time for family & friends to be together, eat a big meal, exchange gifts and enjoy some quality time together.
The main meal is called the 'reunion dinner' and is considered as the most important meal of the festival.
To ensure the luck continues for the year, certain foods are eaten during the festival, this is because of their symbolic meanings.
The word for fish sounds like surplus; eating fish is believed to bring a surplus of money and good luck! Other typical foods eaten include dumplings, spring rolls and Chinese rice pudding. Yum!
If you receive a red envelope, you're in luck!
This typical gift is given to children and retired seniors, not only as a symbol of good luck, but also as a gesture from the family to maintain ones age and good health.

Going to a temple for a blessing during the Chinese New Year is a common tradition during the festival.
Families will visit their nearest temple and have a blessing to welcome good luck and fortune for the coming year.
washing your hair, clothes and cleaning – or you'll wash away your good luck!
crying and breaking dishes is also seen as bad luck too!

The starring holes of this Robert Trent Jones Sr. course are 11-16, where you are playing near and on top of the dramatic Corsican limestone cliffs. The first nine are like the appetizer in the forest, but still enjoyable – not to be skipped. In early April the greens had just been aerated and were very slow, but the locals assured us that they are usually in good shape. The 16th is a Pebble Beach-like hole with a back tee surrounded by cliffs and crashing waves. The course does show signs of decades of wear (cart paths, etc). But the clubhouse is chic and very modern-looking, with an amazing view of the course and the Mediterranean, and a fine kitchen.
Ce parcours baigne dans un environnement exceptionnel avec là maquis corse sur certains trous, les îles et la mer à perte de vue sur d'autre. Certains trous vous obligerons des back tee à jouer au dessus de la mer méditerranée. Le club house au style Corse est impeccable et le practice présente une vue époustouflante.

Analysing General Paper Essay Topics: Morality and Values
In our previous articles, Zenith has covered other A Level General Paper topics (Fig 1.) of politics, media, environment, science and technology, and the arts. Today, we will be tackling a topic many students find challenging: morality and values. This topic is a particularly difficult one to meander, as morality and values are always subjective, i.e in the grey area. Being well informed and having a nuanced understanding of this topic will not only garner you an advantage over your peers but will definitely come in handy on any occasion your critical thinking skills are put to the test; these issues are increasingly being discussed online now too.
Fig 1. General Paper themes taken from the SEAB syllabus
What is morality?
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, morality refers to "a set of personal or social standards for good or bad behaviour and character". (Zenith's Tip: When unsure of definitions of certain terms, look up reliable dictionaries, and use the definition to help you structure your arguments! Remember to note down the meanings of different words in a vocabulary bank when you're revising too.) More often than not, the morals possessed by one are heavily influenced by the society and environment that they grew up in. The people we interact with also shape our understanding of various contemporary issues as well.
Societies play a key role in moulding their people. It can also be argued that morality is a social construct (ideas that exist due to the collective decision of the people), simply because no individual can be considered moral or immoral without a group of people in a society coming together to condemn or commend his actions. Morals are a system of beliefs, decided upon by the people. You can also argue that the people have no obligation to bend to the beliefs that society has placed upon them, but note that it is undeniable that prolonged exposure tends to have an indoctrinating effect. Take, for example, the notion that abortion is wrong and immoral. Some believe that since the fetus has a heartbeat, killing it would be akin to murder. Donald Marquis's compelling thesis argues: Just like how murder is inherently evil because the future of the victim is being ripped away from them, abortion is immoral because one is stripping away the fetus's possible future. Some societies have even gone to the lengths of ruling abortion as illegal (see Texas). However, many also believe that because it is their body, women have the right to choose. It is not by choice that some women conceive, and when they do, not everyone is ready to become a mother. Pro-abortion supporters believe that the choice should be made by the woman herself, who will be shouldering a lifelong responsibility when the child is born.
The environment that one grew up in consists of the people around them, who also have an extremely important role in shaping their moral beliefs. Young children are often viewed as moral 'blank slates', innocent and naive, almost void of moral bearings. As they grow and mature, they view adult figures, especially parents, as their role models. Children often mirror the actions of their parents and adopt similar beliefs due to the "mere exposure effect". This phenomenon is known as a psychological phenomenon where people develop a bias for ideas, people, and actions that are more familiar to them. Like the term suggests, exposure does breed familiarity. As children or youths are exposed to ideas on social media, school, or those that their friends have, they become familiar with said ideas. As a result, they will then be more inclined to lean towards these actions or a particular belief.
What are values?
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, values are "the principles that help you to decide what is right and wrong, and how to act in various situations." Similar to morality, values can also be influenced by society and people. However, values differ from morality in the sense that they are a set of beliefs that are more personal. While morals are a system of beliefs collectively decided on by the people and passed on to an individual in society, values are embedded within an individual, susceptible to his own decisions. Values can be good or bad. They are also usually inculcated, meaning that they are taught through repetition. As mentioned earlier, children are "blank slates", and repeatedly seeing their parents or other influential adult figures behave in a certain manner will slowly cultivate certain values and beliefs within them. For example, if children see their parents being modest, accepting praise good-naturedly, and giving credit where it is due, they are more likely to mirror this in their everyday lives and learn the value of humility.
Importance of morality and values
Morals and values, coupled with beliefs, are crucial factors in determining one's behavior and actions. This is why people tout the importance of having a "good moral compass". A society with questionable morals and values may cause it to erupt into chaos.
Micro level
"Micro" systems refer to small systems in societies like families and individuals. A lack of morals or values on a micro level will result in individuals committing acts like lying, stealing, murder, sexual assault, etc., which will undoubtedly wreck relationships and tear families apart, both for the victim and perpetrator.
Meso level
"Meso" systems refer to medium systems like communities, organisations, political parties, etc. On this level, immorality leads to chaos in the community and threatens to thwart societal order. A good example would be racism in certain American communities. Racism is a long-standing, deep-rooted issue present in many communities, and it dates back to black slavery in America's past. Over the years, there have been many race-related murders. One of them that has ignited a flame amongst people is the murder of George Floyd. The murder of Floyd by three white policemen sparked chaos within the community as many citizens rose to protest against such an immoral act. The protests only heightened when the policemen walked away scot-free. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement was born from this incident.
Macro level
"Macro" systems refer to large systems like the legal system of a nation, or leadership in the nation itself. When immorality and bad values are present in the leadership of the state, the state will undoubtedly be plunged into chaos because the leadership is corrupted and incompetent. Examples include Al Qaeda, a militant Islamist organisation founded by Osama Bin Laden. Its agents engaged in numerous terrorist attacks, for instance, the destruction of US embassies, suicide bomb attack against US warship Cole, and the infamous 9/11 attack, all of which caused widespread fear and disruption to the lives of civilians.
Universal code of ethics
Immanuel Kant was a German Philosopher that believed in a set of ethical rules in order to balance out the intellectual and basal nature of mankind. Kant believed that basic moral requirements retain their logic under all circumstances and thus have universal validity. Therefore, regardless of what people may think of these basic moral requirements, their content is universal.
Non aggression principle
A universal ethical principle includes the non-aggression principle. The non-aggression principle prohibits aggression or the initiation of force or violence against another individual. However, any act of aggression in response as a mechanism of self defense against a previous act does not necessarily violate universal ethics. When we refer to "aggression" here, we are referring to "the use of armed force by a State against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of another State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations" as defined by the United Nations General Assembly Resolution.
Universal immoral acts
Universally condemned acts that are inherently bad are known as "mala in se", a Latin phrase meaning "wrong or evil in itself". These acts violate moral standards set by society and are the core of criminal activity. Mala in se comprises of murder, rape, assault, and theft.
Examples of immoral acts
#1: The Holocaust, 1945
The leader of the German Nazi Regime, Adolf Hitler, believed that the Jews were an inferior race that would thwart the racial purity and community in Germany. Hence, under the cover of World War II, Hilter carried out "The Holocaust", which was genocide of mainly jews, as well as those targeted for racial, political-ideological, and behavioral reasons. "The Holocaust" saw the death of around 6 million Jews and 5 million others in various concentration camps (Fig 2.). More than 1 million of those who perished were just children.
Fig 2. Nazi concentration camp in Poland
The Holocaust is one of the most well-known inhumane acts today, simply because of the unjustified murder and torture of millions, and as we have mentioned earlier, murder is one of the universally condemned immoral acts.
#2: Discrimination
Discrimination occurs when one is treated as inferior because they have different qualities like their gender, race, or sexuality. Discrimination is not inherently evil, but it is considered wrong by many people as prejudice is unfair and oftentimes downright unjustified. Discrimination can manifest itself in many ways, but racism is one of the most common ways discrimination is performed in the world today. Racism occurs when an individual is being treated as less-than and is not offered the same opportunities simply as a result of their race. Covid-19 hate crimes against the Asian-American community have been rampant in the last 2 years. Crimes include elderly being pushed to the ground, young children beaten up out of the blue, and peaceful passersby being knifed by random assailants. Some recent attacks include 2 brutal New York City murders.
Christina Yuna Lee, 35: Christina was found dead in her Manhattan apartment after a man had allegedly stabbed her 40 times
Michelle Go, 40: Michelle was pushed onto the subway tracks in front of an oncoming train.
Sample questions + paragraph
"The death penalty is too heavy a punishment. Discuss." (Adapted from ACJC Term Exams.)
As with all questions, let's start with a question analysis.
Question analysis:
Q: Absolute question
K: "death penalty", "too heavy", "punishment"
D: Whether the death penalty is too heavy a punishment or if it is not too heavy a punishment
C: –
Sample paragraph
Due to the basal, impulsive nature of humans, extremes like the death penalty are needed to maintain societal order. The death penalty is one of the heaviest punishments a criminal can face and is reserved only for capital crimes like murder. Murder is one of the four universally condemned acts, "mala in se", and is considered inherently evil in all societies. When murder is rampant, the consequences of this vile act are high. Not only will the families of the victim and the perpetrator be affected, but society will run amok. If such a heavy crime like murder is allowed to run loose, criminals may be emboldened to commit other crimes of a relatively "lighter" weight, contributing to a detrimental spiral effect. Citizens will then live their everyday lives in fear, and societal order will fall through. Even though the death penalty is extreme, because the accused will not be given a second chance to amend his ways or make up for his mistakes, it is necessary to maintain a peaceful society. It is undeniable that the death sentence is an extremely effective deterrence against crimes like murder. This can be seen in the local context, where the homicide rate in Singapore is at a low of 0.2% per 100,000 people. Singapore is one of the few countries that practice the death penalty, and as shown, it is extremely effective in keeping the homicide rate low. Hence, to maintain societal order, the death penalty is not too serious a punishment.
