Álvaro Roque de Pinho Bissaia Barreto, né le  à Lisbonne et mort le  dans la même ville, est un ingénieur, entrepreneur et homme politique portugais membre du Parti social-démocrate (PPD/PSD).

Entre 1978 et 2005, il occupe cinq postes ministériels différents dans sept gouvernements.

Biographie

Formation et débuts professionnels
Álvaro Barreto obtient sa licence en génie civil à l'Institut supérieur technique (IST) de l'université technique de Lisbonne (UTL) en 1959.

Il est alors recruté comme chef de projet industriel à Profabril, une société du groupe chimique CUF. Il y reste jusqu'en 1969, année de sa nomination au poste de directeur administratif des chantiers navals Lisnave de Lisbonne. Il devient administrateur des chantiers navals Setenave de Setúbal entre 1972 et 1974.

Premier passage au gouvernement
Le , Álvaro Barreto est nommé à 42 ans ministre de l'Industrie et de la Technologie dans le gouvernement d'initiative présidentielle de Carlos Mota Pinto. Il exerce cette responsabilité jusqu'à la chute du cabinet, le . Il s'éloigne alors du monde politique en prenant la présidence du conseil de gestion de TAP Air Portugal.

Retour durable au pouvoir
Dès le , Álvaro Barreto revient au gouvernement, afin d'occuper les fonctions de ministre de l'Industrie et de l'Énergie dans le cabinet de coalition formé par le libéral Francisco Sá Carneiro.

Pour les élections législatives du 5 octobre 1980, il est investi tête de liste de la coalition Alliance démocratique (AD) dans le district de Viseu, se voyant ainsi élu député à l'Assemblée de la République.

Le , Francisco Pinto Balsemão succède à Sá Carneiro, décédé peu avant, et constitue un nouvel exécutif dans lequel Barreto prend les fonctions nouvellement créés de ministre de l'Intégration européenne. Ce poste est toutefois supprimé dès la formation du second gouvernement Balsemão le  suivant, dont il ne fait plus partie.

Un long mandat au ministère de l'Agriculture
Bien qu'Álvaro Barreto ne soit pas réélu député aux élections anticipées de 1983, il est choisi par le PPD/PSD comme ministre du Commerce et du Tourisme dans le gouvernement de grande coalition du socialiste Mário Soares le . À l'occasion du remaniement du , il prend les fonctions de ministre de l'Agriculture.

Dans le cadre des élections législatives anticipées du , il prend la tête de liste des libéraux dans le district de Beja, où il se trouve le seul élu du PPD/PSD. Le  suivant, à 49 ans, il devient ministre de l'Agriculture, de la Pêche et de l'Alimentation du premier cabinet du libéral Aníbal Cavaco Silva. Avec Mário Raposo et João de Deus Pinheiro, ils sont les seuls ministres à avoir également participé à la grande coalition.

Il est réélu député de Beja au cours des élections législatives anticipées du , n'obtenant qu'un seul siège pour la liste du Parti social-démocrate. Il est confirmé le  dans ses fonctions ministérielles.

Passage au second plan de la politique
Álvaro Barreto est finalement relevé de ses responsabilités à l'occasion du remaniement ministériel opéré par Cavaco Silva le . Il change ensuite de circonscription électorale pour les élections législatives du , occupant en effet la septième place sur la liste du PPD/PSD dans le district de Lisbonne. Il prend alors la présidence de la commission des Affaires étrangères, des Communautés portugaises et de la Coopération.

Il change à nouveau de territoire électoral dans le cadre des élections législatives du  : son parti le choisit en effet comme tête de liste dans le district de Castelo Branco, pour affronter le secrétaire général du Parti socialiste António Guterres mais sa liste n'arrive qu'en deuxième position, avec deux députés sur cinq à pourvoir. En conséquence aux élections législatives du , il est investi deuxième de la liste du district de Lisbonne, juste derrière le président du PPD/PSD José Manuel Durão Barroso.

Dernier portefeuille ministériel en 2004
Rétrogradé à la troisième place de la liste de Lisbonne aux élections législatives anticipées du , Álvaro Barreto est réélu une dernière fois à l'Assemblée de la République. Il y prend alors la présidence de la commission de l'Agriculture, du Développement rural et de la Pêche.

Le , à 68 ans, Álvaro Barreto est nommé ministre d'État, ministre des Activités économiques et du Travail dans le gouvernement de coalition formé par le maire de Lisbonne Pedro Santana Lopes après la nomination de Durão Barroso à la présidence de la Commission européenne. L'instabilité de cette nouvelle équipe conduit à l'organisation des élections législatives anticipées du , auxquelles il ne postule pas. Il quitte son ministère le  et met ainsi un terme à sa carrière politique.

Mort
Álvaro Barreto meurt le  à l'âge de 84 ans.

Do we realize the influence we have on those around us? Although we may think that no one pays attention to us, we influence more than we realize. Notice this parable of Jesus.
"The kingdom of God is like this," he said. "A man scatters seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day; the seed sprouts and grows, although he doesn't know how. The soil produces a crop by itself—first the blade, then the head, and then the full grain on the head. As soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle, because the harvest has come" (Mark 4:26-29 CSV).
There is one group with whom Jesus talked more than anyone except his disciples: the Pharisees.
My wife and I went out to see the latest Marvel film yesterday evening. As always, we stayed until the very last credit because Marvel puts in little extras to give you a wee glimpse of what will happen in the next film (or another one to come soon).
Dalton Mansel, (1939-2015), came to ministry by accident but remained with purpose (Colossians 3:23).
Born into a hardscrabble existence, he acquired a work ethic that would burn brightly until his final moments. For 76 years he labored so that his final days were filled with the language of work, orders and management.
His body and spirit refused to remain at rest (Proverbs 13:4).

Thanks for sharing this Chia. It's a very "live" issue.
A very helpful series of reports altogether! Great for those who can't get to every conference… Thanks :-). The multilingual "Learner as User" is an important, if challenging, conceptual shift.
Thanks for your comments, Gordon.
Really appreciate you following the conference through these reports.
I just really would like as many people to learn more about ELF and hear what I am hearing here.
Thanks for these posts on ELF, I was wondering if you could help me explore about English ownership. Do you think people can own their language? Is language something we "own"? Do native speakers of Spanish own Spanish? I am quite confused whether language can be owned or language is a tool we acquire for communication.
I love reading you Chia, I can find answers to my questions.

Composition : The Life of Hazrat Muhammad (SM.)
The Life of Hazrat Muhammad (SM.)
Hazrat Muhammad (Sm.) is the last Prophet of Allah and the leader of all prophets. He is the greatest of men and teachers ever born on earth. There is none like him. He is the embodiment of all that is good, pure and noble.
Before his birth, Arabia was steeped in darkness, ignorance and superstition. The Arabs were ignorant and wicked and they led beastly lives. They were worshippers of many gods and goddesses and were given to all kinds of vices. The people of other countries of the world also had fallen on evil ways of life by that time. Hazrat Muhammad (Sm.) was, therefore, sent by Allah to correct the Arabs and to show the people of the world the right Path.
Hazrat Muhammad (Sm.) was born in the famous Quraish tribe of Mecca in 570 A. D. His father Abdullah died before his birth, and his mother Amena died when he was only six. So he became an orphan when he was still an infant. He was brought up by a nurse named Halima. His grandfather, Abdul Muttalib and his uncle Abu Taleb took care of the boy.
Early in life, Hazrat Muhammad passed through many trials and sufferings. He got no opportunity for learning. But he was taught much higher things than book-knowledge by nature and the unseen hand of Allah. He was sent down by Allah for the good of mankind. From his boyhood, he was thoughtful, honest and truthful. He was called Al-Amin or the Trusty one. He carried on trade under his uncle and went to Syria several times on commercial visits.
Hazrat Muhammad (Sm.) served for some time under a beautifully rich and accomplished widow named Khadija. He managed her large business and won her confidence. At last at the age of 25 he married her and became the master of her vast wealth. But wife and riches had no effect on his character. He retired to the cave of Mount Hira and meditated on the problems of life and death. At last at the age of forty light dawned upon him and he got the new truth.
He preached : "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah to preach this great truth to the world."
This is the religion of Islam. The new faith was first accepted by his wife Khadija. A few others also accepted it and became his disciples.
But a great many of the fierce Arabs were furious when they heard of the new religion of Islam. They at first tried to persuade him to refrain from preaching it and promised to give him whatever he wanted. Then they put every difficulty in his path, subjected his followers to severe tortures and tried to kill him. So for the sake of religion, he sent many of his followers to Medina and then in 622 A. D. he himself went there. This is called the Hijrat. From this date, the Islamic era of Hijri began.
The people of Madina warmly welcomed him. Many of them accepted his faith. But the people of Mecca attacked Madina several times to kill the Prophet and to wipe out Islam. Thus the Prophet and his followers were forced to fight a number of battles like Badar. Ohud and Khandak. But every time the evil designs of the oppressors of Mecca were foiled. At last, the Prophet conquered Mecca in 630 A. D. and succeeded in bringing all Arabia to his faith. The Prophet did not take any retaliation. He taught the people the virtue of forgiveness.
This great and noble soul passed away in 632 A. D at the age of 63. But his work and teachings remain and will be followed as long as the world lasts. He made Muslims brothers of one another, built a great nation and a powerful state. At present one-fifth of the people of the world are the followers of this great and noble Prophet.

Q: Why autofocus not working on opened modal that created by flowbite modal? I am trying to use autofocus functionality in my input area. I have a modal open when I click on a button. Inside modal component I have a input area that created using react-hook-forms for validation. I tried to use useRef to check if my modal rendered, after render completed, I am trying to use autofocus using setFocus from react-hook-forms but it is not working.
Here my some part of my code
export const FileListContextModal = <InputName extends string>({
  inputProps: { defaultValue, ...inputProps },
  title,
  onClose,
  onSubmit,
  cancelLabel,
  saveLabel,
  ...modalProps
}: FileListContextModalProps<InputName>) => {
  const { handleSubmit, control, setError, setFocus } = useForm<
    Record<string, string>
  >({
    defaultValues: { [inputProps.name]: defaultValue || '' },
  });

  const inputRef = useRef<HTMLInputElement>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (inputRef.current) {
      setFocus(inputProps.name);
    }
  }, [inputRef]);

  return (
    <Modal {...modalProps} onClose={onClose} onClick={preventPropagation}>
      <Modal.Header>{title}</Modal.Header>
      <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmitHandler)}>
        <Modal.Body>
          <FormTextInput control={control} {...inputProps} ref={inputRef} />
        </Modal.Body>
        <Modal.Footer>
          <Button type="button" color="light" onClick={onClose}>
            {cancelLabel}
          </Button>
          <Button type="submit">{saveLabel}</Button>
        </Modal.Footer>
      </form>
    </Modal>
  );
};

as you see it is not focusing in my input area

I used setTimeOut inside useEffect but I dont know how much it is right to give time and focus on the input area after a while. Here the working code snippet
useEffect(() => {
    setTimeout(() => {
   setFocus(inputProps.name);
    }, 5);
  }, [setFocus, inputProps.name]);

Is there any other solution other than using setTimeOut here ??

Home Entertainment Top 5 Richest Music Producers in the World (2021)
Top 5 Richest Music Producers in the World (2021)
Johnson Olumide
It is amazing to know Who are the Richest Music Producers in the world?, when you listened to "In My Feelings" by Drake, "Work" by Rihanna and even the recent "Need You" by Nigerian new act Fireboy, who did you give the credits for the blessing your eardrums?
The musicians I bet.
Just like everyone else, you also failed to acknowledge and praise the brilliance of the producers.
From the beats that give the music its life, to the quality of sound that makes the songs enjoyable to our ears,
they practically make songs more enjoyable and distinguish it from an ordinary freestyle.
Their impact on the quality of a record cannot be overemphasized.
But sadly, we fail to recognize that.
However, even if we all decide to turn blind to the immense contributions music producers make on the quality of songs we all enjoy and groove to,
they seem to be appreciated somewhere else. And that's monetary.
A good number of producers have changed the status quo and fight for their share of the accolades but not with fame this time around like artistes but with money.
Producers have gone from the days of hosting studio sessions for free or for peanuts to charging a fortune per session.
They've also upped their game and decided to invest more in the entertainment industry than just sitting with drums and the piano making beats only the artiste would be praised for.
Well, if you care to know some of these music producers who have gone beyond sitting in the studio to going out to get their own share of the cake,
below is a list of the top 5 richest music producers in the world for the year 2021.
5. The Neptunes ($155 MILLION)
Neptunes was a group 4 before they disbanded into two: Pharell Williams and Chad Hugo in 1990.
Rita Ora Suffers yet another Wardrobe Malfunction as she Flashes her Knickers in a short Silver Metallic Dress
They have amassed a total wealth of about $155 million.
This didn't come as a surprise considering their achievements in the last two decades.
In 2009, The Neptunes were No. 1 on "Billboard's Top 100 Producer of the Decade".
Recently, it has also been nominated for the "Songwriters Hall of Fame for class 2020". Chad and Williams had helped Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Britney Spears among others produce hits.
Unlike Chad who prefers to stay behind the scene, Pharell Williams always provides vocals and appears in music videos before he began rapping.
4. Max Martin ($260 Million)
The Swedish record producer and songwriter was famous for producing songs like "It's my Life" by Bon Jovi which was an international hit.
He had his major breakthroughs when he wrote "I Want It That Way", "Quit Playing Games" and "Everybody" by Backstreet Boys.
Max Martin has written and co-written 22 "Billboard's Hot 100 Songs" many of which he produced or co-produced like The Weekend's "Can't Feel My Face" and Taylor Swift's "Blank Space".
He has an estimated net worth of about $260 million. He is one of the greatest producers the industry has ever had.
3. Berry Gordy ($345 million)
The third on the list is Ben Gordy. Ben Gordy is a record producer, film producer and label owner. He founded Motown Records.
He helped gave the career of a number of artistes momentum and direction.
Artistes such as The Temptations, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5 were beneficial.
He was among the first to launch and market the African-American music to the whole world. He is reported to estimate about $345 million.
2. Rick Rubin ($400 million)
Rick Rubin is the world's second-richest producer with an estimated net worth of about $400 million.
He is a highly rated American producer who revolutionizes the face of hip hop.
2017 American Music Awards: Complete List Of Winner
He has to his credit the production of so many hits from artistes such as JayZ, Kanye West, Johnny Cash, and Adele.
Rick Rubin is a co-founder of Def Jam Records- which JayZ headed before he left- with his friend Russell Simmons. He was a co-president at Columbian Records too.
1. Dr. Dre ($820 million) – Richest Music Producer in the World
who is the richest music producer in the world?
The richest music producer on the surface of the earth is The Almighty Dre with a net worth of about $820 million.
Born Andres Romelle Young in Compton, California. Dr. Dre contributed immensely to the growth of hip hop and the career of many artists.
He helped to deliver superb successful albums with 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Late Tupac Shakur, and Ice Cube.
He has received numerous awards as a record producer and also as a solo artist.
DR. Dre isn't just a fantastic, award-winning music producer, he is also a successful serial entrepreneur.
He is the CEO of Beats Electronics and the founder of Aftermath Entertainment.
He went on to sell Beats Electronics (the famous beat by Dre Headphone) to Apple for Millions of Dollars. In 2012, he reportedly earned $110 million.
Disclaimer: On Who are the Richest Music Producers in the World
You'll notice that the majority of these producers didn't make their money predominantly from music production.
They have some other skills they use to make money like songwriting, artiste promotion among others.
However, you'll discover that these skills are complementary skills to music production. They are skills a good producer must possess to be at the top of his game.
Do you think someone is on the list that isn't supposed to be there? Or someone I omitted? Let me know in the comment section.

Q&A with Kim: Fixing common Wi-Fi problems, secret Amazon Echo commands and more
By Kim Komando, Komando.com February 10th, 2017
Each week, I receive tons of questions from my listeners about tech concerns, new products and all things digital. Sometimes choosing the most interesting questions to highlight is the most difficult part of my job.
This week, I received questions about fixing Wi-Fi problems, Amazon Echo commands, selling things on Craigslist and more. Do you have a question you'd like to ask me? Click here to email me directly.
Fix Wi-Fi problems
Q: I have horrible Wi-Fi in rooms of my house. Would a repeater help?
A: A wireless network repeater is a great way to extend coverage, but it has to be placed in the right spot. Most routers spread signals in a circle. The closer you are to the router, the stronger the signal. As the circle spreads out, there is a sweet spot to put the repeater. Too many people just place the repeater anywhere. A better idea is to use software that shows you precisely where the circle ends and signal strength drops. Click here for a free tool that maps your home and shows you where the repeater should be located.
Find out if your email's been hacked
Q: All the data breaches make me nervous. Is there a way to see if the hackers and scammers have my email address?
A: Understandable. There's a lot of nasty hacking going on these days. But instead of being "nervous," be "vigilant." Find out whether your personal information has been compromised. Take steps to bolster your security, including less-known weak points like your router. And yes, keep tabs on your email, because your inbox is loaded with data that criminals would love to obtain. Click here to check whether your email account has already been compromised.
List of Echo commands
Q: I have an Amazon Echo. What else can it do aside from play music?
A: For such a popular device, Echo has mystified many owners. How should they use it? Is it just a speaker that happens to respond to voice commands, or is it the full-fledged virtual assistant that the media have been touting for the past year? It's safe to say that Alexa is somewhere in the middle: She can do a lot of amazing things, but she's not perfect, and you need to know what to ask for. Click here for a list of Alexa commands that you're probably not using.
Troubleshooting your Windows operating system
Q: My Windows computer is acting up. Is there a tool to help me pinpoint what's wrong?
A: Rest assured, we've all been there. Computers get slow. Programs crash. Weird error messages pop up. What are you doing wrong? Is it a virus, bad software, hardware problems or what? If you're not used to troubleshooting on your own, there's a tool built into Windows that you may not even know you have. Click here to learn about Windows Reliability Monitor.
How to sell better on Craigslist
Q: I must be doing something wrong. I don't get nearly the number of hits my friends do when they sell things on Craigslist.
A: Don't beat yourself up; selling on Craigslist is an art. Some folks are natural salespeople, and they have a knack for hawking their wares online. But just like the local flea market, there are ways to make your stuff look more appealing and actually reach the shoppers who might buy it. The main difference is that shoppers in a flea market are physically in front you, while the ads on Craigslist can't make eye contact and small talk. But there are some simple ways to make your ad vastly more effective. Click here for expert tips for selling on Craigslist.

Winner of Staples Canada "GO ECO" contest will drive away ...
Winner of Staples Canada "GO ECO" contest will drive away with 2012 Toyota Prius c
Giveaway part of Staples Canada "Easy on the Planet" environmental program
Prius c, newest member of Prius hybrid family, is Canada's most fuel-efficient vehicle without a plug
RICHMOND HILL, ON, April 13, 2012 – Staples Canada is celebrating Earth Day and raising awareness for sustainability this spring through a special "GO ECO" contest, which offers customers the chance to win environmentally friendly prizes.
One lucky entrant will win the grand prize of an all-new 2012 Toyota Prius c – the newest member of the Prius family of vehicles that are moving hybrids to the mainstream in Canada. It's the smallest Prius yet. The "c" stands for city because it's designed to maneuver the cityscape with nimble handling and responsive steering. At the same time, the Prius c offers combined fuel efficiency of 3.7 litres per 100 kilometres. That makes it Canada's most fuel-efficient vehicle without a plug, the ideal choice for anyone wanting to GO ECO.
With a smart design, advanced powertrain and innovative in-car technology, this is a car that's as fun to drive as it is helpful to the environment," said Stephen Beatty, Managing Director, Toyota Canada Inc. "And with gas prices at top of mind for everyone, it's good to know that the Prius c is the most fuel efficient car without a plug.
The contest runs from April 11 until May 31. People can enter at any Staples store in Canada or online. The Prius c winner will be selected in a random draw.
Customers will receive a bonus entry each time they use a Staples reward card during the contest period. Customers who visit and "like" Staples Canada on Facebook, as well as for those who follow Staples Canada on Twitter, will also receive bonus entries.
In addition to the Prius c, there will also be two other major prizes. The person winning the draw for second place will receive a Toshiba Satellite Ultrabook Z830, while the third-place winner will receive an Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4540 all-in-one printer. Plus, special social media prizes will be awarded each weekday during the contest. Anyone who re-tweets in relation to GO ECO or shares GO ECO information on Facebook will be eligible to win an 8GB USB Flash Drive with 100% bamboo casing.
"Staples Canada has a commitment to 'go easy on the planet' and the GO ECO initiative is an exciting way to encourage as many Canadians as possible to join us," said Rick Atkinson, Vice President of Marketing for Staples, Canada. "Our environmental efforts cover a wide range of activities, including developing and sourcing environmentally responsible products, devising programs to eliminate waste and taking strong measures to reduce energy use. In addition, our position as Canada's largest office products company provides a great opportunity to increase environmental awareness and this contest is a fun way to do that."

"Well, it's still one more match to go for both of us. It will be both very tough matches. But it's great to see there is a chance."

Boris Johnson set to introduce 'Plan B' Covid measures including order to work from home
The measures could be announced imminently, according to reports

Boris Johnson is set to announce Plan B Covid measures imminently, reports suggest.
A new set of coronavirus restrictions including orders to work from home and the introduction of vaccine passports is being drawn up to deal with rising cases and the spread of the Omicron variant.
Downing Street sources insisted "no decisions have been made" but the Financial Times reports the Prime Minister could announce the new measures as soon as today.
The paper said three Whitehall sources had confirmed that further measures including working from home and the use of vaccine passports in certain venues would be brought in.
One source, the paper said, suggested the move was a "dead cat" to distract from recent clams that No 10 staff had a lockdown-breaking Christmas party last year.
A prominent member of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) warned that a full UK-wide lockdown to deal with the threat of the Omicron variant cannot be ruled out, although the current threat posed by the strain remains unclear.
Any move to impose fresh restrictions would be viewed with suspicion in Westminster at a time when Boris Johnson is under pressure over allegations No 10 staff breached lockdown rules by holding a Christmas party last December.
Footage emerged on Tuesday night of senior aides joking about the party just days after it reportedly occurred in the run-up to Christmas 2020 and Mr Johnson is braced for the issue to feature prominently at Prime Minister's Questions.
The Government has so far insisted it is not time to activate its Plan B – the restrictions that would be brought in to prevent the NHS being overwhelmed this winter.
Do you want this to happen? Tell us in the comments section.
But Omicron may have changed those calculations in Downing Street, with Mr Johnson telling the Cabinet on Tuesday that "early indications were that it was more transmissible" than the Delta strain.
Restrictions could play a role in slowing the spread of the variant in order to allow more time for the booster jab vaccination campaign to progress.
Sage member Professor Neil Ferguson, from Imperial College London, whose data was instrumental to the UK going into lockdown in March 2020, said the variant is concerning but it is still unknown what its impact will be on severe disease.
He suggested people may be told to work from home in the near future as Omicron is spreading fast, with the variant set to take over from the Delta strain before Christmas.
Speaking in a personal capacity, he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Certainly case numbers of Omicron are doubling at least every three days, maybe even every two days at the moment, so it's accelerating very fast and, (to) put that in context, it's the same if not faster than we saw with the original strain of the virus in March of last year. So it is a concern.
"It's likely to overtake Delta before Christmas at this rate – precisely when is hard to say.
"We'll start seeing an impact on overall case numbers – it's still probably only 2%, 3% of all cases so it's kind of swamped, but within a week or two, we'll start seeing overall case numbers accelerate quite markedly as well."
Prof Ferguson said the peak of this wave of infection will be in January if no measures are taken to slow it down.
"So if you don't do anything at the current time, it will most likely be some time in January," he said.
"But I think the key question is whether the country decides to adopt measures to either slow it down or try to stop it, and that will critically depend on really the threat it poses in terms of hospitalisations.
"At the moment, we don't really have a good handle on the severity of this virus; there's a little hint in the UK data that infections are a little bit more likely to be asymptomatic, but we really need to firm up that evidence at the current time."

Asked whether people should be told to work from home, he said: "It will be up to the Government to decide what to announce in the coming days and weeks.
"There is a rationale, just epidemiologically, to try and slow this down, to buy us more time principally to get boosters into people's arms, because we do think people who are boosted will have the best level of protection possible, but also to buy us more time to really better characterise the threat.
"So, if you imagine a kind of Plan B Plus with working from home might slow it down – it wouldn't stop it, but it could slow it down, so it's doubling rather than every two or three days, every five or six days.
"That doesn't seem like a lot, but it actually is potentially a lot in terms of allowing us to characterise this virus better and boost population immunity."
Regarding lockdowns, Prof Ferguson said it is very difficult to rule out anything, adding that we "haven't got a good enough handle on the threat".
He added: "Clearly, if the consensus is it is highly likely that the NHS is going to be overwhelmed then it will be for the Government to decide what what he wants to do about that, but it's a difficult situation to be in, of course."
Pushed on whether lockdowns might be possible, he said: "It certainly might be possible at the current time."
No Omicron cases in Cheshire, but county chiefs issue bleak warning
People urged to 'cut social contacts' to reduce spread of Omicron Covid variant


Not sure what to think after all of the talk about it, but I will see soon enough for myself.
Well after the flood over the weekend I was still able to take the test this morning. It lived up to the billing.... Had a delay with the place opening this morning, but passed... Barely.
But, glad to move on.
Not really excited about going for the XP exam, but plan on heading down that trail to complete the MCSA track.
"a pass is a pass!"
Congrats on your pass, good luck on the next exam!

Information About Military Schools in Cathedral City, California
If you are a parent, you've likely heard many things about military schools and don't know what to believe. Are they boot camps? Are they penalties for troubled teenagers? Are they just a front for military recruitment? Let's go ahead and set the record straight.
Militaryschoolusa.com is a resource which lists all the military schools in the nation, including, of course, military schools that might be near Cathedral City, California. Before you learn about each program individually, let us give you an overview of what military schools can provide for your son or daughter.
Military schools in Cathedral City, California are basically boarding schools with a history of military tradition. What this means is that, although a lot of of these schools are not directly affiliated with the US military in any way, they do use military-like decorum and discipline in the way they are set up and work with students. The majority of these military schools have hierarchies which are based on military systems. As students move ahead in the program, they get promoted and earn more privileges and responsibilities. Students live on these campuses and have the chance to form tight relationships with their peers, something that isn't available at traditional high schools.
Even though these schools are tightly structured and discipline-oriented, they are not usually the best solution for troubled teenagers. Academic requirements at these places are very high and the main purpose is to set students up for success in high level universities. For most academically gifted students, military schools provide the right atmosphere needed to get ahead in life, and you won't find a more complete listing of military school than here at MilitarySchoolUSA.com!
My child wants to get into a very challenging university, can a military school near Cathedral City, California help him/her with that?
Most military schools in Cathedral City, California are known for their stringent academic standards. These are not typically programs designed for students who are struggling with their schoolwork. Instead, the purpose is to challenge your son or daughter and prepare them to meet the entrance requirements of the top universities in the country. Additionally, schoolwork is taught in a military style which emphasizes discipline and organization. This is vital, because it develops habits for study habits which will not only get your teenager enrolled in a good college, but enable them to thrive once enrolled there. Take a look through the complete listing of military schools at MilitarySchoolUSA.com to find the one that is the best fit for your teenager.
My son or daughter is very clever and has vast amounts of potential, but sometimes I worry that they're getting lazy or unmotivated. Will a military school in or near Cathedral City, CA accept them?
Although military schools near Cathedral City, California don't accept troubled teenagers, they do provide a highly structured and supervised atmosphere that can help all students. If your son or daughter tends to occasionally lose focus or, at times, can be susceptible to laziness or procrastination, military schools can take care of that quickly and easily. At a military academy, students are given help in setting up their priorities. They will begin to take a more disciplined approach to each day, ensuring that they are being productive and making positive choices for their future. Even the most intelligent of teenagers can sometimes be forgetful. Teaching teenagers the importance of their future and the way their decisions, even now, can impact their entire life is an essential aspect of what military academies are all about. You won't find a more comprehensive list than the directory found at MilitarySchoolUSA.com!
My son or daughter in Cathedral City, California has no interest in joining the military, is that okay? Do military schools help teenagers who have interests in other fields of study and work?
Although a lot of military schools started off being directly affiliated with the military, that isn't always the case anymore. Although joining the military after graduating one of these schools is frequent and sometimes encouraged, your son or daughter is definitely not obligated to. It's a fact based upon evidence that the sort of discipline and training that is available in such a military setting can be very useful in many fields. From business to politics to entrepreneurship, graduates from military schools, in general, have more success than graduates from more traditional high schools. Military schools focus on discipline, integrity, communication, teamwork, and leadership, and it turns out that these are very valuable traits in basically any area of study or employment.

U-M Regents approve construction of 12-story adult inpatient hospital on medical campus
The new 690,000 gross-square-foot hospital will provide more access to care for adult patients at Michigan Medicine
RELATED STORY (with Video and Photo Gallery): A Michigan Medicine milestone: Organization breaks ground on hospital of the future
Michigan Medicine announced today plans to build a new adult hospital that will increase patient access and transform medical and surgical care at the academic medical center of the University of Michigan.
The new 12-story hospital will house 264 private rooms capable of converting to intensive care, a state-of-the-art neurological and neurosurgical center, high-level, specialty care services for cardiovascular and thoracic patients, along with advanced imaging. Locating these services together will enable healthcare providers to quickly respond to complex cases and deliver state-of-the-art treatments.
Today, U-M's Board of Regents unanimously approved the five-year project, with a projected cost of $920 million. This vote follows two previous Board of Regents decisions in 2018 to explore the feasibility of the project.
The new 690,000 gross-square-foot hospital will provide more access to care for adult patients at Michigan Medicine, where current hospital facilities often operate at more than 90% capacity.
Read more about the new adult hospital, and view a flyover video featuring the site location, on the Michigan Medicine website.

100 Years Happy Birthday to the Coca-Cola Contour Bottle
One hundred years ago today the Coca-Cola Contour bottle began its journey around the world. Like all longstanding ideas, it seems so simple – but 100 years of effort has gone into creating and maintaining the seemingly effortless chic of the Coca-Cola Contour bottle.
Take a look back in time to the secrets behind the Coke bottle and its iconic design.
Who, What, Where?
Back in 1899, the burgeoning soda industry was all about the soda fountain, usually dispensed by an American drugstore. So Coca-Colaplanned to offer it in a bottle, capitalising on its popularity and making it more widely available.
Great ideas lend themselves to copying, and soon competitors were offering very similar bottle designs – so Coca-Cola decided to develop a more distinctive package.
In 1915, The Coca-Cola Bottling Company challenged glass companies across the US to develop a "bottle so distinct that you would recognize it by feeling in the dark or lying broken on the ground." Inspired by the shape and lines of the cocoa bean, the Root Glass Company in Indiana, USA, developed a bottle concept that would become the distinctive Coca-Colabottle. A committee of bottlers and Coca-Cola executives selected the design and, in 1916, the Coca-Cola bottle was born.
In 1949, a study showed that less than 1% of Americans were unable to identify the Coca-Cola bottle by its shape alone. A year later, in 1950, the Coca-Cola bottle appeared on the cover of Time Magazine – the first commercial product to appear on the cover of the publication. By 1951, the distinctly shaped contour was so well known, it was granted trademark status.
An Icon Inspiring Icons
The Coca-Cola bottle has gained iconic status as a muse to artists, musicians, designers and writers for 100 years, from Andy Warhol to Ray Charles, Marc Jacobs to Clive Barker. Part of the bottle's 100th birthday celebrations include a collection from master stationers Moleskine, inspired by the bottle and iconic Coke Red.
Throughout history, the Coca-Cola bottle has been dubbed the "hobbleskirt bottle," named for the popular fashion trend during the 1920s, and the "Mae West" bottle - after the actress's famous curves. The first reference to the bottle as a "contour" occurred in a 1925 French magazine that described the Coca-Cola bottle with a distinctive contour shape. To the general public, the shape is just "the Coke bottle."
Kicking off the 100th anniversary of the contour bottle design earlier this year, The Coca-Cola Company, in conjunction with the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, presented "The Coca-Cola Bottle: An American Icon at 100".
The four-part exhibition highlighted the muse-like role of the unique bottle design to generations of artists and a special section dedicated to "mash-up" art from artists and designers all over the world who reimagined the bottle for the 21st century.

Police Reforms : Regional Work
There are three main components of the regional program that have become permanent features:
Networking for Improved Policing in South Asia
The Network for Improved Policing in South Asia (NIPSA) is a forum that brings together like-minded individuals and organizations vested in systemic reform of the police and serves both as a resource base on police reforms issues across the region as well as a forum enabling information exchange among members. The network was started in 2010 following a regional roundtable held in November 2009 on police accountability involving key stakeholders in New Delhi which was jointly organised by CHRI and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. It manifests itself in the form of a website which serves as a centralised hangar for its activities. Click here to view the website: www.nipsa.in. Presently, its core activities include
Daily news monitor: includes daily update of news on, or related to, state of policing and reform initiatives
Quarterly Newsletter: includes articles and analysis from across the region on key issues related to better policing
Update: includes quick, brief and country-specific write-up on latest development relating to better policing
Multimedia: includes interviews with experts and practitioners from across the region
Resource section: includes country wise resources on policing ranging from legislations, commission reports, civil society reports, case law and jurisprudence, legal analysis and critiques
Biennial publication on South Asian policing – Feudal Forces
In 2007, CHRI published its first regional report on the status of police reforms in the region titled Feudal Forces: Democratic Nations which highlighted the challenges and resistance confronting reforms in the region. The central idea of the report was to critically review the nature of reform against international standards and principles of democratic policing and recommend ways of strengthening the initiatives. The report has since become a regular feature of the programme, profiling reform initiatives, pace and quality of change introduced and main obstacles faced in implementation. After 2007, the report was updated in 2008, 2010, and 2012. It has now become a regular feature of the South Asia programme with an updated version published every two years.
South Asia Learning Programme on Police Reforms
As part of the effort to strengthen civil society capacity, CHRI together with the Friedrich Naumann Stiftung has held Learning Programme since 2009. The programme seeks to promote better understanding of police reform, and how democratic structures can be best used to achieve better accountability and human rights compliance by the police. It brings together people from across the region working on or vested in systemic reform of the police including legal professionals, paralegals, members of independent oversight bodies, and civil society/human rights organizations. The first such programme was held in Germany in 2009 where the participants were introduced to the policing and accountability mechanisms of the country. Thereafter, the programme has been held in New Delhi where meetings are held with various stakeholders working to achieve police accountability such as the National Human Rights Commission and advocates. The central idea is to expose professionals to the police reforms efforts and programme in India with a view to further the learning of professionals engaged in the field.
Regional Study on Women in Policing in South Asia
CHRI has published a seminal report on Women in Policing in South Asia. This four country study looks at the status of women police in Bangladesh, India, Maldives and Pakistan, the challenges and difficulties they face as women police officers, as well as efforts by police departments to provide for increased and meaningful participation of women.

It Spills Its Seed Upon the Ground
Dorothy Parker? Corey Ford? John Keats? Apocryphal?
Dear Quote Investigator: Apparently, the famous wit Dorothy Parker was once asked why she had selected the curious name Onan for her pet canary. She replied:
Because he spills his seed on the ground.
What is the veracity of this tale?
Quote Investigator: The biblical figure Onan appeared in the Book of Genesis. He disobeyed God by refusing to impregnate his brother's widow and spilling his seed on the ground. This behavior irked the Deity and proved fatal to Onan.
The earliest version of the Parker anecdote located by QI occurred within a chapter profiling her in the 1934 book "While Rome Burns" by Alexander Woollcott who helped to build her reputation for clever banter. Woollcott's statement was elliptical. Emphasis added to excerpts by QI:[1] 1934, While Rome Burns by Alexander Woollcott, Chapter "Some Neighbors IV: Our Mrs. Parker", Quote Page 152, Viking Press, New York. (Verified on paper)
Of her birds, I remember only an untidy canary whom she named Onan for reasons which will not escape those who know their Scriptures.
In 1967 Corey Ford who was a friend of Parker's published "The Time of Laughter" which included the following:[2] 1967, The Time of Laughter by Corey Ford, Chapter 4: Taverns of the Twenties, Quote Page 52, Little, Brown and Company, Boston, Massachusetts. (Verified with hardcopy)
All sorts of spurious quips were attributed to her; but the genuine coin had an unmistakable ring. As when she insisted that her dog had caught a social disease from using a public lamppost. Or when she explained that she had named her canary Onan because it scattered its seed.
The review of Ford's book published in "The New York Times" repeated the joke and credited Parker:[3] 1967 October 15, New York Times, Bright Parade by Paul Showers, (Book Review of "The Time of Laughter" by Corey Ford), Quote Page 30, Column 1, New York. (ProQuest)
As some of the older members of the class will recall, Dorothy Parker named her canary Onan because he scattered his seed.
The 1970 biography "You Might as Well Live: The Life and Times of Dorothy Parker" by John Keats mentioned the canary:[4] 1970, You Might as Well Live: The Life and Times of Dorothy Parker by John Keats, Part Two: Chapter 1, Quote Page 68, Simon and Schuster, New York. (Verified in paper)
Dorothy Parker's apartment on West Fifty-seventh Street was hardly pretentious. She said that all she needed was enough space "to lay a hat-and a few friends." . . . Apart from her clothing and toilet articles, the only things in the room that belonged to her were her portable typewriter and a canary she called Onan because he spilled his seed upon the ground.
In conclusion, QI believes that Dorothy Parker did name her canary Onan based on a humorous biblical allusion.
1934, While Rome Burns by Alexander Woollcott, Chapter "Some Neighbors IV: Our Mrs. Parker", Quote Page 152, Viking Press, New York. (Verified on paper)
1967, The Time of Laughter by Corey Ford, Chapter 4: Taverns of the Twenties, Quote Page 52, Little, Brown and Company, Boston, Massachusetts. (Verified with hardcopy)

TAMKANG GOES CRAZY OVER 'OHARA', A LABRADOR FOR THE BLIND
Chang Kuo-rui is perplexed when his dog, Ohara, is mistaken for Quill.
Through the popularity of the Japanese book "Quill", and the movie based on it, Labrador dogs as guide dogs for the blind have become the 'flavor of the month' for Taiwanese fans. There is in fact such a dog on TKU campus called 'Ohara' belonging to the system engineer, Chang Kou-rui, working at the Center of Resources for the Blind.
The book and the movie "Quill" describe how this dog is devoted to its owner, who is visually impaired, all its life. The loyalty and intimate relationship between them touch anyone who has read and seen the work. Such a close companionship is confirmed by Chang, who attended the premier of the film with Ohara. He found the ending very close to home as he understands the mortality of his dog, too. Ohara has been with him for five years and is very intimate part of his life. Life without him would be very unthinkable—the thought of it is already extremely unbearable.
Ohara is a cross between the golden retriever and Labrador. Thanks to "Quill", it is usually the center of attention wherever they go. Onlookers would whisper "I'm positive that is Quill!" to one another, or some of them would come up to touch Ohara, calling out for "Quill!" Such acts are actually very confusing to Ohara and annoy Chang immensely. He often reminds people not to disturb the dog.
Ohara, of course, is not Quill. It was shipped from New Zealand in 1999 and was sent away for training when it was about 6 weeks old. This training was vital to it as it learned to like and trust human beings. It also developed a tremendous patience during this time and the ethic of work. Chang explains that once Ohara puts on its guiding gears, it knows it is time to work and never shy away from it. Ohara works literally all year round.
However, being mistaken for Quill cannot always be such a drawback. Chang told of an incident where Ohara received a celebrity treatment from an airline when they were flying back from Hualien. A flying attendant requested from the ground staff a seat right next to his for Ohara. She told him a matter-of-factly that "It is for Quill, of course." Chang was perplexed with the appropriate reaction to that kindness.

Hi! Sign in to let us know how Quick Draw Custom Screen was?
Eric S. May 17 .
My group is running bone marrow registration drives in the NY area for a friend who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. We ordered shirts through Imprint Revolution and Quick Draw. The time window was short but the team at Quick Draw went out of there way to produce the shirts and get them to us in time for our event. The volunteers and registrants loved them ... and the drive was a success!
Amazing service and turnaround time!
by menschems at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Claude S. Apr 28 .
Quick Draw Custom Screen is purely awesome. These men and women are always on time; they do a perfect printing job; they offer you countless options; and they're all cool people. If you don't enjoy working with them, you're an idiot.
Natalie v. Dec 04 .
I chose Quick Draw after calling and meeting with at least 5 other custom print shops, when I spoke with Ken at Quick Draw, his helpful, professional and friendly service prompted me to choose Quick Draw. Not to mention the great prices.
The T-shirts and shorts that I had printed were top quality, without flaw. The service was excellent and the price was very reasonable, lower than most shops.
by nataliastar at Citysearch Nov 10 .
Quick Draw is THE PLACE to get T-Shirts made. High quality printing and excellent customer service. You will not be disappointed.
David A. May 12 .
I buy shirts for a variety of organizations on a regular business, and we always use QuickDraw. Their prices are great (even when I have to ship them out of state), and the quality has been perfect every time.
They're very easy to work with, they give free quotes quickly, and we've always had good turnaround, even on some complicated jobs.
I would recommend them to anyone - I've used them for small orders, like a softball team, and for a $5000 job for a huge summer camp.
Even if you've never had shirts done before, they are friendly and knowledgable and can walk you through the process. Or use their website for a quote, that works too.
PROS: Great service, great prices, great quality. Friendly and knowledgable.
I have used this business for years now when printing T-shirts for a campus wide conference at UCLA. I am always impressed by how helpful the staff is and how easy the transactions are. I go in with the artwork on CD, they copy it on their machines right there and check that they can view everything without problems, then 2 or 3 days later you get the proof and once it's approved, another 2 or 3 days later they ship out the shirts. And they're cheaper than some of their competitors at about $7 per custom printed Haines Beefy T.
If you've been to or used Quick Draw Custom Screen, leave a review.


Getting your learner's permit is a huge step toward becoming a fully licensed driver. Generally, once you have your permit, you will move on to get your license before it ever expires. However, you might find yourself in a situation where your permit has expired due to forgetfulness, moving out of state, or a variety of other reasons. If this happens, you need to know how to renew an expired permit and continue on your path toward full driving privileges.
Driver's licenses and permits are managed by different departments depending on the state you live in. Most commonly, you will be looking for the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), but the licenses may also be handled by the Division of Motor Vehicles, the Secretary of State or some other bureau. If you got your permit in the state you're currently living in, then you already know where to go. You most likely won't need an appointment, but it's a good idea to make one to avoid an incredibly long wait in line.
Proof of identity (certified birth certificate or social security card).
Proof of residency (utility bill or school enrollment card).
Payment to renew or redo the testing for your permit (varies by state).
Some states don't require you to take the permit test again once you have already passed, but depending on where you live and how long it has been expired, you might have to. When in doubt, call the DMV and explain your situation. Someone should be able to let you know whether or not you will need to retake the permit test. If you do, you might want to consider spending some time studying before you go in.
It isn't wise to assume that because you passed the test last time around you will automatically be able to do it again. If it's been a while since you originally got your permit, you may have forgotten some of the information. It's also possible that you will be renewing your permit in a different state, and in that case, the test you will take might be completely different.
Even if you feel pretty sure of yourself, it's a good idea to take a practice permit test before trying the real thing. It will help you have peace of mind while taking the test, and if nothing else, it will help renew the information in your mind and allow you to recall some of the important rules for driving. Even the best drivers can use a refresher course once in a while.

A fast battle cruiser that had long remained the largest and one of the most powerful ships in the Royal Navy. The ship was built based on the experience gained during World War I. Unlike later period battleships, she had weak horizontal armor protection. In the beginning of World War II, the ship's outdated secondary armament was demounted and replaced by enhanced AA guns.

After multiple cancellations and delays the Windham Middle School performance of Annie Jr. was a success! I was able to attend the last performance of the play and was quite taken by the energy on stage.
Several main characters including Annie were unable to perform the last play of the night due to uncontrollable circumstances. However, the kids stepped up and put on an unbelievable performance.
Annie is the iconic story of an orphan who lives with in an orphanage under the rule of Miss Hannigan. She is chosen to spend time with millionaire Oliver Warbucks and his unique staff. They all grow fond of Annie and decide to keep her. Deep inside Annie hopes to be reunited with her birth parents, but there is an evil plan hatched by Miss Hannigan and her cohorts.
The level of talent of the performers in Windham was wonderful to witness. The kids had great singing voices during the group performances and solo songs. Chloe Cyr a seventh grader stepped in to play the lead role of Annie at the last minute due to Denali Dieumegard coming down with the flu. Chloe took charge of the role and put on a wonderful performance with no flaws witnessed on my part. Eighth grader Makayla Malloy was wonderful as Miss Hannigan with her evil looks and sassy behavior. Eleven-year-old Austin Norcia as Rooster played the part great, right down to the greased slick back hair look of a con artist. Davin Farinella played Oliver Warbucks so true character he even went to the extent of shaving his head for the show.
Each middle school child on that stage did a wonderful job and should be proud to have put a smile on so many faces. The audience was entertained by the hard work and dedication to their part in the performance of Annie Jr.
I have never seen a Middle School play before Annie, but I will say I will be attending more in the future. The whole show was a wonderful experience to see. I encourage you to take a break from your everyday life the next time you see a sign at the rotary advertising a performance and to stop into the Windham Preforming Arts Center and watch the talent up on the stage.
